Li Xinchen stretched out his hand to push open the door, and Chen Zhishen's words were still echoing in his ears.

"The road outside the city is muddy, but fortunately, it is not far from the official road to the north from here, and although the rain lasts for a long time, it is not a torrential rain after all, so the road is not completely to the point where it cannot be walked, as long as the rain stops for about two or three hours, it can be opened."

And now that the rain has stopped for almost half an hour, a ray of sunshine is shining in this wilderness city, and the whirring wind still carries a slight coolness. The soldiers of Nan Chen in the city were wiping their blades, packing their bags, and preparing to shoot.

In order to prevent extraneous branches, where to go next is still only to inform all the generals above, and the soldiers below do not know. However, there was not much panic and worry on their faces. After all, in the battle of crossing the river and the battle of Kinan, they have witnessed too many miracles and created too many feats, and naturally they believe that no matter where they go next, they will still be able to triumph.

Seeing Li Xinchen come in, the girl of the Xiao family hurriedly stepped forward and carefully helped Li Xinchen untie her cloak, this scene fell in the eyes of Li Ping, the kid behind Li Xinchen, so that Li Ping couldn't help but stick out his tongue, and stood directly at the door with a very eye-catching look and didn't come in.

Li Xinchen looked at this girl strangely, after all, the girl was not very old, and she was still one head behind Li Xinchen, so she could only stand on tiptoe slightly, and she didn't untie the second knot for a long time. Seeing that the slight fragrant sweat that had already appeared on her nose due to nervousness, and her cheeks became red, Li Xinchen couldn't help laughing: "I'll do it myself." ”

"Slave······ The slave just wants to ······ It's a slave who is too stupid! The girl bowed her head in shame.

Li Xinchen untied the knot and walked to the table to find that the water had already been boiled. And looking around, the original messy room with only one chair that could sit has been cleaned up, and those already dirty aya have been piled together, and the ones that are still intact have been hung up again, and a chair is still on the table, clearly telling Li Xinchen who did it.

Realizing that Li Xinchen looked back with a smile, the girl's hands unconsciously felt twisted together: "Yes······ I'm sorry, the slave didn't expect the general to come back so soon, the slave should ······ Should have cleaned up faster. ”

Li Xinchen couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the trance standing in front of him made him feel that it was not the Empress Xiao who made countless emperors worship under the pomegranate skirt in history, nor the golden branches and jade leaves of Xiliang, but just a little girl from a poor family, who walked into the courtyard of the deep mansion for the first time, trembling.

It's a little similar to her own sister-in-law, but Li Li'er's big temperament is far less restrained.

But think about it, although she was born in the royal family, she has not been recognized by the royal family since she was a child, and she has been tossing and turning in relatives' homes at a young age.

Therefore, at this time, he took the initiative to come over to serve Li Xinchen, which was also in Li Xinchen's understanding. This is just a means of survival that this little girl found for herself, after all, under the protection of Li Xinchen's wings, it is better than squeezing together with those relatives who look at her coldly.

You must know that the rest of the imperial relatives did not have this kind of good treatment, and when it rained just now, the Nanchen soldiers who sheltered from the rain were not enough, so they could only find a half-collapsed shack for them, and let them shrink in it and tremble.

Li Xinchen looked at the girl in front of her, there are always some people in history who say that Empress Xiao is a water-based poplar woman, shamelessly tossing and turning in the hands of one emperor after another. But in Li Xinchen's view, this is just a means for this woman who has experienced hardships since she was a child to make a living in troubled times.

She may be bewildered by the greed and incompetence of those men, but she has no other choice, and this appearance is the only capital that can keep her alive.

At least in the history that Li Xinchen knows, although Empress Xiao is not a generation of virtuous queens in the world, she has not really done anything to control the government, charm the king, and hurt the heavens and reason, and even won the praise of Queen Dugu, who has a high vision, because of her virtue.

When Emperor Yang of Sui was intoxicated with pleasure at the beginning, Empress Xiao also advised her many times, but it was a pity that Yang Guang, who had seen the beauty of wine and meat, where would he care about the advice of his wife?

And Li Xinchen also understands why he has a heartfelt sympathy for this little girl, not just because her appearance is really enough for Li Xinchen to be moved, after all, in this era, Li Xinchen has not seen beautiful women, such as the interesting Princess Lechang, and maybe some of them, because Li Xinchen knows that this little girl is also struggling to survive in this troubled world.

Everyone is in the same condition······

Looking at the girl with a frightened look on her face, Li Xinchen reached out and touched her nose, as a single dog who was out-and-out in his past and present lives, to be honest, he really lacked experience in dealing with girls: "You shouldn't do this, sit down and rest for a while." ”

While speaking, Li Xinchen poured a glass of water and handed it to her, took a bite of a pear that was placed on the table, took out the jade pendant from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Your name is Xiao Xiang?" ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood that her name was engraved on the jade pendant, and she gently bit her lower lip and nodded.

"The dream of the ice and silver bed is not true, the blue sky is like water and the night clouds are light. The sound of geese is far away from Xiaoxiang, and the moon on the twelfth floor is self-evident. Li Xinchen chanted softly, "What a name for Xiaoxiang." ”

The name of Empress Xiao was not left in history, and I didn't expect the name of the boudoir to be so poetic. But after thinking about it, it is also reasonable, Lanling Xiao's ancient poetry and book home, although Xiao Xiang has not been recognized by Xiao Yue, but Xiao Yue is impossible not to name this daughter, which seems to be easy, has always been just as a place name The word "Xiang", with the surname "Xiao", suddenly changed his affection.

"The sound of geese is far away from Xiaoxiang to ······" Xiao Xiang repeated in a low voice, raised his head and looked at Li Xinchen, his eyes were as bright as stars.

Li Xinchen smiled and said: "Then I will call you 'Ah Xiang' in the future, if you don't dislike it, you can call you 'brother'." ”

"Slave don't dare!" Xiao Xiang hurriedly took a step back and bowed down and said, "The general is the master, the slave is the servant, thanks to the general not disliking the posture of the slave Puliu, it is the honor to be able to take in the slave who is already a slave, the name of the brother, the slave is ······."

Li Xinchen shook his head funny: "How can there be so much exquisiteness, whether Xiao Yue recognizes it or not, you are a princess of a country, and a certain is just a mud leg who came out of the mountains, and lived a life of licking blood with a knife head, if you call it so, you can't afford it." ”

Xiao Xiang looked at Li Xinchen in disbelief, obviously Li Xinchen's attitude made her even more uncertain about this man.
