Chapter Twenty-Nine: After a Thousand Hardships, Blood
In a fit of rage, Ye Luqing threw aside the valuable grip, and he never gave up easily, exerting his indomitable tenacity and calling out to the soldiers stationed outside the door. "Someone!"
"Yes, General. The man who heard Yeluqing's voice outside the tent lifted the curtain and walked a few steps inside, stopped about five steps away from Yeluqing, and bent down to salute Yeluqing, who had already woken up. "What does the general command?"
"Liu Nanbei?" Ye Luqing didn't expect to see Liu Nanbei at this time, the Liu Nanbei he knew, except for the war, would not get up so early, now that the war has stopped, Liu Nanbei, who is sleepy, should be lying on the bed and snoring in a sullen voice, and the sun is coming out in the west today?" "Aren't you still lying in bed at this hour and can't get up?"
"I heard early this morning that Vice General Zhang Hu was injured and was recuperating, so I planned to visit him. Respectfully replying to Ye Luqing's question, Liu Nanbei, who had never been smiling, actually skipped Ye Luqing with a strange gaze to look at the thin boy who was half covered by Ye Luqing.
Ye Luqing took a step to the left, and he subconsciously blocked Ji Liuli's front when he noticed Liu Nanbei's gaze, and Ye Luqing, who was full of possessiveness towards Ji Liuli, didn't want Liu Nanbei to look at the little thing that only belonged to him. "How did you get here?"
Liu Nanbei saw the warning in Ye Luqing's eyes clearly and clearly, so he withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at Dr. Ji, who had been in the military camp in the past few days, and continued to say what he had just said when he went to visit Zhang Hu. As he passed by the tent, he heard the general's voice, and the last general took the liberty of coming in for the two brothers who were standing outside the door. ”
Liu Nanbei was one of the commanders under the jurisdiction of Deputy General Zhang Hu, and it was natural for Zhang Hu to go to see Zhang Hu when he was recuperating from his injuries, and it was natural for him to pass by this camp on the way to see Zhang Hu and hear the general's voice and enter the camp.
Actually, the truth of the matter is not so.
As the commander of the Donglin ** Battalion, Liu Nanbei, who belongs to the same official rank as Sun Ji, heard the news that the general was unconscious and was carried to Dr. Ji's tent by the soldiers with bamboo bandages for the first time, so of course he also heard the rumor that the general was holding Dr. Ji tightly in this news.
In order to find out whether the general was really as the soldiers said, he hugged Dr. Ji tightly, Liu Nanbei jumped out of bed barefoot and wanted to run to Ji Liuli's tent, the dark brown boots on his feet were still the ones Liu Nanbei, who found that he was not wearing shoes not long ago, took them off the feet of the soldiers passing by and put them on for himself.
When he ran outside the tent, he heard Ye Luqing calling people in, and the witty Liu Nanbei quickly stopped the soldiers who were about to open the curtain and go in, and replaced them.
Liu Nanbei just wanted to know what kind of person Dr. Ji was that the brothers had been talking about in the past two days, and by the way, let's see if their general, Ye Luqing, really held Dr. Ji in his arms.
Therefore, Liu Nanbei's actions and lies are all because of his strong curiosity. It's a pity that Liu Nanbei didn't see Ye Luqing holding Dr. Ji in his arms as he wished, which made him melancholy.
The soldiers are saying that the general has taken a fancy to Dr. Ji and wants Dr. Naji to be a male favorite, should he believe what the soldiers are talking about?
Facing the sanctimonious Liu Nanbei, Ye Luqing did not doubt him, raised his hand and pointed to a scimitar tied to Liu Nanbei's waist. "Borrow your scimitar. ”
"General, please. Liu Nanbei pulled out the scimitar at his waist, in order to prevent Ye Luqing from being accidentally injured by the scimitar, Liu Nanbei took the sharp blade of the scimitar and carefully pointed the handle of the scimitar towards Ye Luqing.
Taking the scimitar in Liu Nanbei's hand with his right hand, Ye Luqing turned around and stretched out his left hand to hold Ji Liuli's wrist, but he didn't want to be a little small and put both hands behind his back at once. "It's small, take it in your hand. ”
"......" Ji Liuli shook her head worriedly, even if she stretched out her hand to let Ye Luqing make a cut now, it would be useless, it was estimated that it would only be a waste of her blood. "No, I can't. ”
Putting down the palm that stayed in mid-air, Ye Luqing's face sank, why did the person who took the initiative to worship the handle cower like this? "Are you scared again?"
"It's not that I'm afraid. Ji Liuli motioned Ye Luqing to look at the cup next to the bed with her eyes, the cup was empty, there was nothing, and the mattress on the bed was a palm-sized place. "The water in the cup has leaked. ”
……
Ye Luqing picked up the cup and looked at the bottom of the cup, and found that there was a small hole in the bottom of the cup, when did he have such inferior ceramic cups in his barracks?" ”
"Yes, General!" took the water cup in Ye Luqing's hand with both hands, and Liu Nanbei retreated with a solemn face.
In the barracks, no matter how poor the food and clothing are, there will never be such inferior goods, and most of them are the officials in charge of purchasing in the army in the east of the court to fill their pockets when they buy these water cups.
How can they be oppressed and slaughtered like this?
"Yeluqing, there's still a cup there. The sharp-eyed Ji Liuli found that there was an extra water cup on the wooden box on the right side of the camp tent, she jumped off the bed and trotted over to pick up the cup, and after pouring most of the cup of water, she sent the cup to Ye Luqing with one hand. "Then we can sacrifice our blood for the alliance. ”
"Good. Ye Luqing didn't blink his eyes, and the older party took the lead in cutting his fingers, dripping the blood that oozed between them into the water glass.
The bright red blood smeared in the clear water, and the original translucent white of the water in the cup turned into a faint pink.
"Yeluqing, it's my turn. Ji Liuli stretched out her free hand and stopped directly above the water glass, waiting for Ye Luqing to cut her fingers.
This time, Ye Luqing did not fix Ji Liuli's wrist, and gently pulled the scimitar blade in his hand on Ji Liuli's fingers.
Ji Liuli's fingers slowly sprouted small beads of blood, dripping along the edge of the fingers into the glass of water that already had Ye Luqing's blood, and when the blood was mixed, Ji Liuli looked at Ye Luqing's eyes. "Yeluqing, drink this cup of blood water, you are my eldest brother. ”
"Yes. Ye Luqing did not hesitate to put the cup of blood to his mouth, considering that Ji Liuli must not like the smell of blood, Ye Luqing drank most of the cup of blood water, leaving only two or three drops of blood water in the cup. "The meaning is true, you will definitely not be able to drink blood. ”
"Thank you. Ji Liuli thanked Yeluqing and took the water cup, raised her head and sipped the blood into her mouth, then smiled and sweetly called out to her brother who had completed the blood alliance with her. "Big brother, we can kneel and swear. ”
