[MTL] I Built a Territory in Ancient Times

Chapter 77

77. Chapter 77

Feeling Ming Yu's annoyance and regret, Xie Yixiu was slammed into his heart. Things can't be entirely blamed on him, haven't I tried my best to protect him? Maybe after he goes back, he will be replaced by A Bing or someone else to escort him, and things may not be as good as they are today.

At this moment, Xie Yixiu very much wanted to rub the top of his hair, to hold him in his arms, and to say the gentlest words to comfort him.

But just think about it, he is the prince, even if he is vulnerable and helpless at the moment, he is not something he can blaspheme without dignity.

"Your Highness, don't blame yourself." It was difficult to say a word, but the rest of the words of relief were not uttered.

"Thank you!" Thousands of words finally came together into one sentence, Ming Yu returned to calm after the ups and downs. He used to rely on a piece of willpower to support it, but now he relaxes and can no longer support it. He lay in Xie Yixiu's arms and fell asleep. past.

When Ming Yu woke up, the sky was completely dark, and when he moved, he was covered with dry grass and covered with Xie Yixiu's cloak.

Not far away, there was a fire that was bright and dark, making the sound of crackling firewood.

Xie Yixiu, who was beside the fire, saw Ming Yu woke up, and walked over to help him up, "Your Highness, how are you now?"

Children are also back. He sat up and looked around, as if he was in a cave.

"How long have I been sleeping?" Ming Yu asked, his voice hoarse.

"It's been one day and one night." Xie Yixiu noticed his strangeness, brought water and gave him some to drink, and Ming Yu felt much better.

"Thank you!" Ming Yu whispered.

Xie Yixiu was stunned. He had never seen Ming Yu lose his temper before. The Ming Yu he saw was all flamboyant and comfortable, exuding a sense of vigor from the inside out, and he felt very comfortable when getting along with him. Like the feeling of spring breeze. Instead of being so lost and cautious now, it doesn't seem like him anymore.

"No need to say thanks!" Xie Yixiu softened his voice and said, "It is the minister's responsibility to protect the prince."

At this moment, he suddenly had a clear understanding. No matter what, he must protect this young man, not because of him. The identity, but the ripples he has accidentally left in his heart.

Ming Yu nodded, his identity should not be lost, if he really fell into the enemy's hands, not only the officials and people of Liangzhou, but also the entire Dayan court would be embarrassed.

"Understood, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future, even if it is for the country and the people, you must keep this useful body and never fall into danger lightly." Ming Yu pursed her lips and whispered.

Seeing that Ming Yu had misunderstood what he meant, Xie Yixiu opened his mouth and finally swallowed the words in his heart. Just keep silently guarding him like this, there is no need to trouble him.

"Your Majesty should know that your identity is not like an ordinary person. Being a lord is related to the country and society, so..." Xie Yixiu glanced at Ming Yu, and saw that he nodded silently, but he couldn't say anything more.

He changed the subject, "My lord couldn't move or speak before, but what's the reason?"

Obviously nodding with lingering fears, that feeling is really uncomfortable, like a ghost pressing the bed. If you can see and hear, you can't move, you can't speak, and you're trapped between square inches.

"I don't know what kind of drug it is. It's like this for a few hours after drinking it. Only after the effect of the drug wears off, can I move freely." Ming Yu recalled.

Xie Yixiu listened to his description. He frowned and thought for a while. Only then did he say: "In the territory of Suixi, there is a plant called Achnatherum splendens. Even if the cattle and sheep eat it, they will be paralyzed and unable to move. What the lord said should be the medicinal juice extracted from this plant." He After speaking, he looked at Ming Yu up and down again. "How is your lord feeling now? Is there any discomfort in your body?"

Ming Yu felt the condition of his body, except that he was a little hungry, there was no other change. He told Xie Yixiu truthfully, and Xie Yixiu repeated the inquiries several times to confirm that Ming Yu's body was indeed fine, and then he really felt relieved.

"My minister has roasted the fish, and it is simmering on the fire at the moment. The lord doesn't dislike it, so let's eat some?"

As soon as he heard that there was something to eat, Ming Yu's eyes brightened, he nodded repeatedly, got up and sat by the fire, and then He looked at Xie Yixiu eagerly.

When Xie Yixiu saw that his bright eyes were like some kind of small animal, he could not help but slightly hooked his lips, so Ming Yu who was waiting to be fed was too rare.

He walked over, sat down side by side with Ming Yu, and grilled the fish on the wooden shelf with fire before handing it to Ming Yu.

Ming Yu took it, and a fragrant smell came directly over. At the moment, regardless of whether the temperature was suitable or not, he just tore off a piece and threw it into his mouth. He exhaled directly.

"My lord, be careful of the heat." Xie Yixiu reminded.

"It's better than being in Dayan when I'm outside. I don't need to be called the prince, just call me Ming Yu or Xiao Shishi." Ming Yu said vaguely, and then he added, "My father and brother are like this. call me."

There are many inconveniences when going out. If it is not good to reveal your identity because of the title, it is better to change your mouth earlier to avoid revealing flaws. Moreover, the two of them depended on each other in the tiger's den. If they still made some politeness, they would not be exhausted all day long. Like him, in front of the people he was close to, he never acted like a prince.

Ming Yu, Ming Yu, these two words swirled back and forth in Xie Yixiu's mouth several times, but Xie Yixiu still didn't call it out, he just said kindly, "Okay."

Ming Yu was happy, why bother with so much, smelling the aroma of the food His stomach has long been screaming uncontrollably, and now the first task is to fill his stomach first. I have to say that Xie Yixiu's skill in grilling fish is really nothing to say. The crispy skin and the juicy fish made him almost swallow his tongue.

I originally thought that cold ice cubes could not be eaten, but unexpectedly, this craft is really not covered. In Ming Yu's view, men who can cook are rare in today's society. As soon as he raised his head, he bumped into Xie Yixiu, who was too late to take his eyes back, and raised the fish in his hand, "You won't eat it?"

Xie Yixiu shook his head, "Chen... uh! I've already eaten it."

Ming Yu said "oh" and retracted his hand. , praised: "Xie Jiang... Yixiu, this skill is also very good, if any girl marries you, she will have endless blessings."

Xie Yixiu smiled bitterly, the thought in his heart could not deceive himself, Go scourge the girl. From the first time he saw him, he had never imagined that there would be any big intersection. A prince from the capital had nothing to do with him, right? After a few contacts later, I learned about the gentle and tolerant temperament of the gentle and graceful young man, as well as many unique opinions, which made people aware of his infinite talents. How can such a person not attract the attention of others?

As long as he protects his territory and protects this person, it is God's grace to him.

Xie Yixiu didn't speak, the air was quiet for a while, Ming Yu joked about it, only to realize that something was wrong. Dare General Xie to make jokes casually?

He laughed a few times to ease the embarrassment. "For a general like you, these things are done by themselves, and they don't look like people who can do these little things."

Xie Yixiu naturally saw it, "When I was young, there were changes in my family, so I was very young. I can do it myself."

Ming Yu was amazed, he really didn't know Xie Yixiu's past, he only knew that he became famous in the first battle and became a respected figure in the mouths of the people of Dayan.

Originally, I wanted to hear what he had to say, but Xie Yixiu obviously didn't want to say more, so he changed the subject and asked, "Why did you choose to go deep into the hinterland and then go north?"

Ming Yu licked the juice on his fingers. He smiled and said, "Do you understand the circuitous route? The enemy has already blocked our retreat, do we still have to fight to our death? Going around in circles, although the distance is a little longer, at least there is a chance to escape, right? "

Xie Yixiu stared at him with no expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Even if there was no expression on his face, Ming Yu knew that he didn't believe what he said. He sighed. Talking to a smart person gave him a headache, so he had to say, "That's it! I said, can't I say it?"

He had finished eating one fish, and before he could finish, he reached out and took another fish that Xie Yixiu handed over. Then he said slowly: "Actually, I want to go there and have a look. I didn't have a chance before, but now I happened to come out and I can't go back for a while, so I wanted to go and have a look."

What is there to see? Desolate. Xie Yixiu had doubts in his eyes, he knew that Ming Yu would never have such a thought for no reason. Being able to think of going to the north at this time is the idea that has always been in his mind.

Xie Yixiu obviously disapproved. As a prince, he was always thinking about taking risks. It is not right to have such thoughts.

Ming Yu explained with a smile: "This is the current situation, and this idea has been turned over. I never dared to go there in person before. I used to think that when the guard camp can really stand on its own, I will send it. A small group of people went to see it. If this is the case, it is estimated that it will not be realized within a year or two."

Hearing what he said, Xie Yixiu began to think, what is so special about the Xiqi Mountains between Suixi and Wuliang? Otherwise, why would Ming Yu think about it.

"Xiqishan? Why?" Xie Yixiu wondered.

"Because I want to see if there is a real avenue to the sky over there." Ming Yu tore off a piece of fish and threw it into his mouth, not finding any shocking words in his words.

"Tongtian Avenue?" Xie Yixiu looked at Ming Yu's calm face, did he mean the same as what he thought?

"Yeah, Tongtian Avenue may not be suitable, a corridor leading to the Western Regions..." Ming Yu thought for a while, "Well, yes, the corridor, the terrain over there is a long and narrow plain area, and the Xiqi Mountains block it. In the sandy desert in the north, the Xiqi River has a long source and nourishes the oasis. What is more valuable is that this long and narrow plain leads to Xihuang and other places in the Western Regions. As long as we take that place, our caravan will not need to Taking a long detour will increase the relative cost, not to mention being restricted by the Suixi Kingdom."

Xie Yixiu stood up abruptly and turned around a few times, thinking of more and farther in his mind, if what Lighting Yu said, if the Big Wild Goose Kingdom could Restricting this corridor is not a military location. If you advance, you can attack the rear of Suixi, and if you retreat, you can defend the gate of Dayan. Perhaps in the future, the situation of Dayan will change because of this.

They didn't know that place, they only knew that the Xiqi Mountains were cut off between Suixi and Wuliang, and there were other mountain ranges, large and small. Because these mountains were different from the lush grasslands in the south of Suixi, the land was barren and No grazing. Therefore this The place was almost deserted, and no one had ever thought that there would be a long and narrow plain.

"What the lord said about this corridor is true?" Xie Yixiu couldn't believe it.

Ming Yu waved his hand, "So we have to do an on-the-spot investigation to see if it is the same as what I thought."

Xie Yixiu was curious, how could Ming Yu know this without leaving home? He didn't believe what he said he was born to know.

Xie Yixiu asked the doubts in his heart, Ming Yu smiled like a fox, and he would know by reading more books. I think that his entry-level enlightenment book "Dayan Fengwuzhi" was already smashed by him.
