Get fat by order

Chapter 18

There is no shortage of soldiers wearing longevity locks, life-protecting jade or other objects for praying for peace.According to military regulations, this is not allowed, but Xing Yi has always turned a blind eye to these things.

His current adjutant is not his first adjutant. As soon as he stepped into the barracks, the young emperor gave him the high position of governor. The person in charge of helping him is an experienced old man who retired from the commander-in-chief.This old man lost his wife and never remarried. He has two sons and a daughter. The daughter is married. Both sons died in battle. Now he is truly alone.

At the end of the new year, if there is no war, the soldiers go home to visit their relatives, and there are only two of them at the officer level in the military camp.Fire up the charcoal basin, peel the oranges around the fire, and keep the armor on. After chatting, they go out together to hunt wolves.

When talking about the world, the veteran soldier always advised Xing Yi to get married as soon as possible: "You are always delaying like this, and it is not a problem. People still want to have a family and have a concern. When I was young, I was like you. If you die, you will die. On the battlefield, you are desperate to spell, nothing to be afraid of. But look at me now, my wife is gone, my son is gone, but I still have a girl. I am my girl’s natal family People, so live a few more years, and don't let the girl be bullied by others."

He cheerfully took out a piece of jade pendant in his heart and showed it to Xing Yi, as if offering a treasure: "Look, this is the Hetian Hongyu that my girl searched for for a year, and went to the Moyu River in Xinjiang with my son-in-law. I also invited the master of Lingyin Temple to consecrate it. Even the nets on it were made by her own hands, and she said it was to bless me on the battlefield. Come down, hey, I'm really lucky."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly covered his mouth like an old child: "Bah, bah, bah, nothing is forbidden, there are no taboos."

Later, when the old man reached the age of 65, he applied to Shao Di for sick leave.Xing Yi has long been able to take charge of his own affairs, and no longer needs any adjutants; Xing Yi even sent a ride when the chief soldier returned home, but the old man still told him with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm in good health. Go back and hug your grandson."

Xing Yi stood in front of the barracks and watched.Those who came to welcome the old man back were his daughter and son-in-law. The daughter was beautiful and gentle, and the son-in-law was also born in the general family. Expressed gratitude to Xing Yi: "Father has always been an old naughty boy. He only knows how to fight, but he doesn't know that the battlefield also depends on the officialdom, which is complicated. We are always afraid that he will suffer. Fortunately, we have your help. We don't know how to repay your kindness. "

Xing Yi said: "It's nothing, don't thank me."

The couple insisted on thanking him, and gave him a lot of gifts, but Xing Yi refused on the grounds that it was easy to get the truth out.From then on, Xing Yi followed and supported the old man's son-in-law a few times intentionally or unintentionally. There was no other reason, he just did it when he remembered it, and that young man could also bear a bigger burden.

The veteran soldier was kind to him and helped him through the difficult period when he first joined the army.Correspondingly, even though he knew that the young emperor had a grudge against him, he still helped the old man speak up in front of the young emperor, and blocked a few books that implicated him in his behavior.He doesn't owe anyone anything.

It's just that he still thinks of the old man showing off the jade pendant to him, that kind of smile he rarely sees, it's very pure, heartfelt happiness and joy.

Now he also has someone waiting for him to return home safely and make a life-protecting jade for him.Xing Yi thought that some people would show that kind of bright smile because of him.

On the second day of his wedding, he put on his armor and went to the battlefield to march to Beizhao on Mengshan Mountain above the snow line.Originally he was stationed in Jiangling, and only served as a supervisor, so the city lord of Jiangling was in charge of the war from beginning to end, but the old lord died at the front line, and the young lord Xie Yuan had just taken office and hadn't reached the crown yet. There were still a lot of trivial matters in the family , Xingyi took over the battle for them.

It will take three months to go to the Snow Mountain. Under the leadership of Xing Yi, the army is in full swing, and it is expected to return in a few days.

During the rest period, his new adjutant specially asked him for leave, saying that he would write a letter to his family: "I always write a long letter accidentally, and this time I want to collect some Beizhao's special products and send it to me. I don't know. Do you agree or not."

Xingyi is right.

The adjutant rubbed his hands with a smile, and said: "My lord, you are newlyweds, why don't you write something back?"

Xing Yi was stunned.

The adjutant didn't wait for him to answer, and ran away in a hurry.It was only then that Xing Yi remembered this: On the second day of the wedding night in the bridal chamber, he left Little Phoenix and left, not to mention that Little Phoenix is ​​still a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child, if it was an ordinary woman, she wouldn't be able to bear it?

Thinking this way, he walked into the camp of his subordinates after dinner, sat among the non-commissioned officers who were discussing together, and accurately picked out the adjutant: "Come here."

A group of people waited and looked at him tremblingly, not daring to breathe.

Xing Yi organized his language for a while, and asked seriously: "How should I write the family letter?"

————————————————————————————————————————————————— ————————————————————

Xiao Fenghuang was sent back dejectedly, lying down like that and spreading himself out, feeling very depressed.Xing Yi poked him, kicked his legs a few times at first, but then stopped talking.

He touched his empty stomach with his little wings, very worried.Xing Yi was very patient, poking him tirelessly, stroking his little wings back and forth: "Hungry, have something to eat? The bamboo planted in my backyard is blooming, you don't have to save, I will order them to revive as soon as possible, and let them grow again soon." result."

Xing Yi brought a practice pill and put it next to Little Phoenix's little head.

Little Phoenix firmly turned her head to one side.

Xing Yi changed direction, and put another Lianshi next to Little Phoenix.Little Phoenix was not very firm this time, he swallowed, rolled on the spot, turned his head and lay down, continued to spread his little wings and paws, looking out of sight and out of mind.

Xing Yi pursed his lips, and put a drill on the head and tail of Little Phoenix.Before Little Phoenix could react, Xing Yi piled up the rest of the basket of exercises beside Little Phoenix, surrounding him in all directions.

Little Fenghuang seemed to be facing a big enemy, he jumped up and turned around a few times at a loss, then squatted down and cried: "I don't want to eat, you take it away, there is no bird breeder like you, I am obviously trying to lose weight."

Xing Yi poked him again: "Doesn't it mean that you have the strength to lose weight when you are full?"

Xing Yi sat down at the table, looked at Xiao Fenghuang with his chin resting on his chin, observed for a while, and found that something was wrong——Xiao Fenghuang seemed to have really made him cry this time, just like the fakes who played tricks on him in front of him a few times before. Crying is different.

Xiao Fenghuang wiped his tears: "It's so hard to lose weight, I'm so hungry, you still tempted me with fruit, you just don't want to see me lose weight, hum, I know, you lied to me." After sobbing softly for a while, Looking down and seeing a pile of exercises on the table, as if coming from grief, she suddenly lay down and kicked her legs and cried loudly: "You are not good to me at all, woo woo woo, you don't like me at all."

Xing Yi: "..."

He had never made someone cry like this before.

Those fairies and goddesses who he ignored in the past who wanted to pursue him would inevitably cry after being treated coldly by him, but Xiaofeng is different. He is a bird, and it is the first time Xingyi has seen it. Such a small, soft and round thing was made to cry by himself, and howled sincerely.

While shedding tears, the little phoenix jumped up and swept Lianshi aside with his small wings, lowered his head and frantically picked up the red-gold phoenix tears that had condensed into crystals, and pecked a few with his short, pointed beak. I got up, and before I finished picking it up, it fell out of my mouth again.Picking up one and discarding the other, Little Phoenix turned back to look for it, but accidentally stepped on the solid solid with a paw, and fell on all fours with a slap.

Little Phoenix was lying on the table, crying even more while lying down: "You don't help to pick it up, my tears are very precious, one tear can be sold for [-] spirit stones. You have never worked, you golden rice bowls Many gods don’t understand that money is hard to come by, and making money is very hard.”

Xing Yi: "..."

He rubbed his temples, and coaxed: "Okay, okay, I'll pick it up for you, but can you eat some for Lianshi?"

Little Phoenix ignored him, and while crying, he searched for the tears of the Phoenix that he said were worth [-] spirit stones one by one in the cracks of the training pile.Xing Yi sighed softly, stretched out his hand to catch the little fat bird, exerted a little strength, and stopped him from running away.

Little Fenghuang struggled, then stopped moving, and said dejectedly: "You are a big liar, you are a bad person. On the surface, you seem to be nice to me, but secretly you don't even want me to lose weight."

Xing Yi stretched out his thumb, slid it over Little Phoenix's head, and then stopped beside his little bean eyes, wiping away a small tear that just oozed out.That phoenix tear condensed on his fingertips, turning into a clear dark red crystal, like a gem.

Why are you crying like this?

He remembered what he said half-jokingly to the little chubby bird before: "My empress wants to be beautiful, but she is not beautiful if she is fat." Maybe the little bird took it to heart, just like he wanted to see a little bird. The ball dances, and this little ball is also in my heart.

The room was quiet for a moment.

Xing Yi looked down, and said in a low voice: "...you can't be my empress, are you so sad?"

Little Phoenix was stunned.

Little Phoenix covered her eyes with her wings, sobbing, "No. I just want to lose weight, and I don't want to be your empress at all."

Xing Yi ignored his angry words, his voice sounded as indifferent as usual: "Little Phoenix, I will not have an empress. I am in charge of the astrolabe, and I will not be distracted by foreign things. When my emperor In the end, it will be very hard. I... I am a person who often makes people sad, do you understand?"

Little Phoenix moved in his hand, didn't speak, but didn't continue to cry.

He quietly listened to Xing Yi's words.

Xing Yi said in a low voice: "If you had considered and inquired before coming to me, you would have heard everyone say that I only have murderous intentions, and the fact is the same. Back then... I chose the way of God instead of the way of magic, and it was just a mistake. I am not What a good man, before you, I never raised a phoenix, so I don't know how to raise a bird."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt pain in his fingers.

Little Phoenix pecked hard on his finger.

Little Phoenix whispered: "It's not like that, you are very kind and gentle to me."

Xing Yi looked at him quietly.

Xiao Fenghuang lowered his head, and said with little confidence: "I approached you with evil intentions, but you didn't drive me away. I'm ugly and fat, and you're still willing to feed me and give me pocket money. But today we That’s not what you’re talking about, don’t change the subject, you should support my weight loss career, I also want to look good, you can’t make me fall like this.”

Xing Yi was silent.

Xiao Fenghuang rubbed his hand with his small head, and arched him pitifully: "Don't be sad, I don't mean that you are not good at raising birds."

Xing Yi said: "Yes."

Xiao Fenghuang said again: "Now you feel that you don't lack the Empress Dowager, but you can't guarantee that you will be in the future. What does it matter if I prepare for you first? Since you said so, I will eat well in the future. Exercise loses weight more slowly than dieting, but it does work."

Xing Yi stretched out his hand expressionlessly: "You promise. Pull the hook."

Little Phoenix raised his little paw and placed it on his fingertips.One person and one bird checked each other seriously.

Just as Little Phoenix lowered his paws, Xing Yi caught him again. He kneaded and rubbed it left and right in his hands, and finally he came to the conclusion: "I'm hungry, the hand feels not as good as usual."

Xiao Fenghuang angrily jumped off his palm, and began to concentrate on eating and practicing.After eating, Xiao Fenghuang jumped into Xing Yi's hand again, raised his head and held out his chest: "Touch and touch, it feels better now."

Xing Yi praised him: "Okay."

This is considered a formal settlement.

Little Phoenix just remembered something, and looked up pitifully at Xing Yi: "Then, then can I still covet your empress position?"

He hung his little head down again, a little depressed: "You won't lose a piece of meat if you call me a lady."

Xing Yi smiled, and knocked on Little Phoenix's forehead lightly: "Keep an inch."

———————————————————————————————————————————————— ————

The next day, Little Phoenix returned to the food intake of [-] pills per meal, and even tended to eat more.

Xian'e came in and happily reported the matter, which happened to remind Xing Yi to solve the problem of the purple bamboo forest blooming in the back.Bamboo forests will wither and die in batches after they bloom. The panda and phoenix tribes, whose main food is bamboo shoots and prawns, will encounter this dilemma every ten years, so they have to migrate regularly to find food.

Standing in the bamboo forest, Xing Yi looked up at the Ten Thousand Year Bamboo covering the sky and covered the sun, and whispered an ancient spell.This incantation has been lost now, it is enough to command mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and bring all things back to life. with mountains.

Xing Yi recited such an important mantra casually, as if what he said was just casual words like "Let's stop the imperial court today".The long and strange incantation ended, and there was an earth-shattering commotion in the forest. It was the sound of the bamboo forest growing rapidly, twirling, and shedding its old shell. The sky and the earth are dim, and only the sound of life and death can be heard clearly.

Xing Yi lighted a bamboo at random, and the bamboo reversed its growth direction, growing along the ground as if being bent.After a while, it stopped in front of Xing Yi and produced a fruit.

Xing Yi took off the drill, played with it for a while, then peeled the skin and tasted it.

There is no other taste, sweet, and gathers the fragrance of all bamboo leaves and bamboo shoots.He thought that the Phoenix Clan would love violent and bright flavors, but he didn't expect that the refined taste would be so light and clear.

Xing Yi said to Xian'e who was trembling behind him: "It's not particularly delicious, next time you will ask Laojun for a stack of flat peaches, Liquan, Lianshi, Xisui Dan and other three in my name. If you want him to grind the rare medicine into granules, I will feed it to the birds."

Xian'e quickly wrote it down: "Okay."

She looked at Lianshi, who was growing all over the forest, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, Fenghuang Yuanyuan has something to eat again. But having said that, I was really scared a few days ago, what did Yuanyuan say?" I don't want to eat more, I'm afraid he will starve to death, I don't know what tricks you used, Dijun, to coax Yuanyuan to eat obediently?"

Xing Yi said: "That little thing is sad, it's trying to vent its anger on me. This little bird is a bit silly, it's pretty good at pretending to be pitiful, I just need to pretend to be more pitiful than him. Say a few words about human feelings Well, this little guy fell for it. Am I the kind of person who is vulnerable because of loneliness? Obviously not. When I said I couldn’t raise a bird, the implication was to let him go, but I’m sure I raised him like this How could a little fat bird let him go?"

Xing Yi has deep merits and fame: "Treat the body with the way of the man, that's how it is."

He admired the lush bamboo forest for a while, then turned away.

Turning around, he saw the little phoenix behind him.

This fluffy little ball is currently in a petrified state, squatting there motionless, Xiaodou's eyes are round.It seemed that he had heard all of his speech just now.

Instead, Xing Yi walked over frankly and knelt down in front of him.

Reached out and poked him.

Little Phoenix started to tremble, and complained vigorously: "You, you——"

Xing Yi's face was serious, and his voice was very soft: "What did you hear, Little Phoenix?"

Before Xiao Fenghuang answered, Xing Yi stuffed Lian Shi, which he had bitten off, into his mouth, and blocked Xiao Fenghuang's mouth.Then, he patted his fluffy little head reassuringly: "Hey, no matter what you hear, I still like you, eat more, don't wander around all day when you have nothing to do, and don't mess with me." gas."

The tenderness in his eyes seemed to be able to melt into water, he seemed eager to put little phoenix in his arms and rub it, but there was clearly a childish smile hidden.While stroking Little Phoenix's head, he adjusted his tone, imitating the childish and innocent tone of a certain round ball:

"I'm very poor."
