Chapter 23: The Battle of the Bone Gorge (1)
On this day, the barracks of the Hou Mansion were not lively.
Perhaps because there has been no war for a long time, such an archery competition was suddenly held in this always strict military camp, which really made the soldiers feel good.
Especially the young, well, the ones with the dragon's eyes on the top.
As soon as Twilight Tianxue entered this military camp, she couldn't wait to search around for Duan Kun's figure. Xiao Song, who didn't know why, looked at her sideways: "Tianxue, who are you looking for?"
"Ah, no, no, I'm just looking. Uncle Xiao's military camp is also very big!" Twilight Tianxue didn't know what to say, so she simply changed her mind and talked about the barracks.
Xiao Song straightened up and shook the sword at his waist: "Of course. In this land of the West, we Linghou Mansion City can also be one of the best cities. Although my uncle is not a war general, his heroic energy and tactics against the enemy are definitely not worse than others. ”
"Yes, I believe it. Twilight Tianxue's eyes narrowed, and she said with a smile, "When I was very young, I always heard my father mention Uncle Shaw. Don't look at my father, eh, I'll tell you secretly..."
When Twilight Tianxue said this, her head leaned slightly towards Xiao Song. In this way, the distance between the two people is a little closer.
This small move actually made Xiao Song's face suddenly pop~ red.
Twilight Tianxue, who spoke, hadn't noticed the reaction of the person next to her: "My father, the king, is actually a very individual person. ”
"One, personality?" Xiao Song's heart was pounding, but in order to hide his inner panic with his external calmness, he could only pretend to be calm. However, no matter how much you hide it, your words are a little trembling.
"Yes, he's got a weird personality and temper, and I don't know if he's born like this, or if he's been away for a long time. Anyway, my mother didn't have it early, and I really haven't heard it in my mother's mouth, whether my father has a gentle side, and I don't know what kind of true temperament a man like my father is behind closed doors. However, it is fierce to everyone except me. ”
When Twilight Snow said the three words fierce, she was very playful. This appearance made Xiao Song's face instantly red like a tomato.
Just as he was saying this, in the distance, Xiao Chuan rode over on a horse. In front of the two, Twilight Tianxue stretched out her hand and waved: "Brother Chuan." ”
"Huh, how did you two get together? Eh, no, Xiao Song, what's wrong with your face? Allergies, aren't you?!Why are you so red? Like a monkey's ass?"
"Is it red?"
"It has to be red! How can I lie to you! You can find your own water and see, it's not ordinary red. I don't know, I thought you just came down from the Huaguo Mountain. ”
Xiao Chuan's words caught Twilight Snow's attention. She turned her head to look at Xiao Song beside her, and suddenly covered her mouth and laughed.
"Brother Song, really, how did you do it? I didn't have it just now, why is this face so red all of a sudden?"
Facing the "concerning" gazes cast by the two people, Xiao Song suddenly became embarrassed.
"Well, maybe, maybe it's hot. ”
Xiao Chuan looked at him: "You go up to the side to cool off for a while, this time there will be a horse archery competition, you and I will each lead a team." Why, this is all like this, how can you still compete?"
Saying that, Xiao Chuan was on the horse, looked at Twilight Tianxue with a smile, and stretched out a hand: "Tianxue, come, get on the horse, I'll take you to the horse farm over there and pick a good horse." ”
Twilight Snow held out her hand.
Xiao Chuan, who was still attacking Xiao Song with words just now, suddenly felt a spring in his heart when his two hands touched together.
Sitting in front of Twilight Snow on horseback, is the person who likes her, but she doesn't like. It's just that although my mind is elsewhere, I can still feel the joy from the people around me, and the feeling of being liked.
Sitting on her horse, she seemed to be close to the sun above her head.
While searching for Duan Kun's figure, Twilight Tianxue silently thought in her heart: Perhaps, she has really grown up. I have someone I like, and work harder to pursue and find my own piece of steadfastness and security. After all, from a very young age, her father, who was conscripted into the army, never told her what real stability was. She pursed her lips and smiled.
The sun on this day seemed to be more scorching than ever, and it was not clear whether it was the cause of the sun's scorching sun or the excitement, and the faces of those warriors under the sun were shining with a black crimson color.
In Twilight Snow's eyes, these people are like stars. That's right, scattered throughout the galaxy, sporadic and shining stars.
Their brilliance can bring out the moon between the stars.
Day and night, at both ends of the poles. Since I met Duan Kun and fell in love with Duan Kun, there has been no winter in the world of twilight snow.
Suddenly, Twilight's heart began to panic.
She saw Duan Kun. That's right, the lover, the lover in her heart, the lover in the dream.
On that day, Duan Kun wore a silver-white armor. With a tall and handsome face and that horse, Twilight Tianxue only felt that it was a distant love in a dream, and it was also a ray of warmth that he had pursued in his life.
It's just that Duan Kun, who is close at hand, can't understand his mind at this time.
While the two horses came together, Duan Kun just politely nodded like Twilight Snow sitting on horseback, as a greeting.
Despite this, it still made Twilight Snow panic and almost fell off her horse.
"Kun Shao is so handsome today!" Xiao Chuan on the side sighed.
Duan Kun pouted: "When are you not handsome?!"
Duan Kun's four words, in fact, have made an exception. Duan Kun is just like Xiao Man's mouth, he is meticulous in handling things, and his attitude is very rigorous, and he rarely tells jokes. Even if he speaks, it is very cold, just like the words that came out of his mouth just now, which makes people listen to it a little cold.
After Duan Kun finished speaking, he took the reins of the horse and turned around to leave. As soon as the horse's hooves took a few steps, Duan Kun suddenly turned around and shouted at Xiao Chuan: "Xiao Chuan, go and get your own team on your side! Where have you been for the past half a day?"
Xiao Chuan rode on his horse and looked at Duan Kun in front of him: "I'm not, didn't I go to pick up Xue'er?"
Duan Kun tilted his head slightly: "What kind of playground do you think this is? This is the barracks! What is the matter with a woman in the barracks? Besides, you must know that this twilight snow, but the daughter of General Dusk Shixiong, who shoots arrows at this moment, if a blind soldier shoots a crooked arrow, once she is injured, I see how you can explain?!"
Duan Kun's expression was very serious, and this seriousness made Twilight Tianxue's heart fluctuate while sitting on Xiao Chuan's horse.
She asked herself over and over again: Is he concerned about me? Yes, he was afraid that I would be hurt, that I would be frightened by this war-torn situation, and that he was worried about me.
Although Twilight Tianxue's expression was wooden, at this time, she had laughed countless rounds in her heart. Perhaps, people who are in love are stupid, especially unrequited love.
Twilight Snow is determined that she only loves this one person in her life. So, when Duan Kun occupied all of her heart, she would burst into countless paranoia.
Xiao Chuan saw that Duan Kun was so stern, and suddenly he lost his confidence. But he was still trying to argue: "I just think, I just think, you see that Cher has been here for so many days, and there is nothing fun about it." She also likes to ride horses and shoot arrows, so I'll, I'm..."
Duan Kun's horse took a few steps back.
At this point, the two horses are in a parallel state.
Twilight looked at him up close, at the two people who happened to coincide on the same parallel line of time and space. Those eyes, that handsome face, and a straight nose. His every move had already restrained Twilight Snow's thoughts.
At this time, she couldn't hear what the two of them were talking clearly, she only knew that the ripples that wrinkled between Duan Kun's two brows were caused by her, and she only knew that the words that came out of the pair of thin lips were for her to worry.
All of this is what Twilight Snow wants.
After the two of you said a word to me for a while, Duan Kun wanted to ride away again. Suddenly, he turned his head again, rushed to Twilight Sky Snow and said, "Miss Xue'er, the battlefield is no better than other places after all, and danger will always exist. Especially in this archery, the tree has never been foolproof. After a while, when I really practiced, I advised the girl to stay away, otherwise it would be bad to hurt the girl by mistake. ”
Twilight Xue smiled and bowed slightly: "Xie, General Duan." ”
When Duan Kun left, the corners of his mouth seemed to have a hint of traction, as if he was smiling. The sound of his horse's hooves is getting farther and farther away, but the heart of stepping into the twilight snow is getting closer and closer.
At this moment, Linglan behind her ran over, out of breath, with one hand on her waist and the other hand covering her stomach: "I said Miss, you should tell me! You said, you don't give me a horse, and don't let me run behind me! I'm tired to death." ”
The two lowered their heads and saw Linglan standing next to the horse, sweating profusely and her face turned white.
Twilight Tianxue smiled: "I'm sorry, Linglan, I was in too much of a hurry just now, so I got on the horse directly." ”
Xiao Chuan turned his head and smiled, "Linglan, just go and sit next to you, there is still tea." Don't you know how to ride a horse and shoot arrows?"
Linglan hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, young master, I won't!"
"Alright, then you can just wait there. ”
"But..."Sweat dripped down Linglan's face.
"But what? This is the Linghou Mansion, I am from the Linghou Mansion, can I still abduct and sell your young lady? So saying, he pulled off the reins of the horse, and the horse rushed forward in an instant.
Twilight Snow hugged Xiao Chuan's waist tightly.
At that moment, Xiao Chuan only felt that he was galloping on the road of love. Behind him is his sweetheart, he once thought that with this red dust as a companion, it is the end of half a life. It's a pity that he doesn't know that the heart of the woman behind him has never been him.
There was the sound of the whistling wind in his ears, and the twilight snow was still immersed in the aftertaste of Fang Cai Duan Kun's words and deeds. Xiao Chuan suddenly shouted in the wind: "Xue'er, didn't you bring a maid with you, why do you only see you carrying Linglan everywhere now?"
"Because, Linglan doesn't talk much and understands my temper. ”
"You like quiet?"
Before Twilight Snow could reply, the horse stopped.
Twilight Tianxue got off the horse, while fiddling with the wristband on her wrist, she glanced up at Xiao Chuan, lowered her head and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I am actually a polarized and extreme character, I like to be lively, like this style of dancing knives and guns, and I also like to be quiet alone." ”
Xiao Chuan handed the horse to the young soldier next to him.
"What's that thing on your waist? I've seen you have it since you came. ”
Twilight Snow was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the sachet on her waist: "Do you mean this?" she untied it and fiddled with it in her hand: "This is called snake grass." ”
Xiao Chuan's eyebrows furrowed: "Snake grass, which snake?"
Twilight Snow laughed: "Which snake? It's the one, whooshing swish~ the ground, the thing that crawls very fast!"
Facing the lovely nature of Twilight Snow, Xiao Chuan only felt that his heart was about to melt.
He laughed, "How come I've never heard of this name? Is this a sachet?"
"Well, sachets. It's particularly fragrant, you smell it. Xiao Chuan took it, opened it and sniffed it. He frowned: "Well, it's quite fragrant." ”
Twilight Tianxue saw Xiao Chuan's frowning, "You don't like the taste?"
"Hey, I'm a big man, how can I understand these things like you women. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and called one of his subordinates: "Go and pick a white horse for Miss Dusk." Be soft-natured. ”
"No! ”
The soldier had not yet left, and looked up at Xiao Chuan in fear. In this regard, Xiao Chuan was also very puzzled, thinking that Twilight Tianxue was joking.
She was joking. Go, pick a soft one. ”
"No, no, no, I said seriously. I want a fierce horse. When Twilight Tianxue said this, she glanced at Xiao Chuan beside her angrily.
"Cher, a fierce horse is not easy to control. What can I do if I turn the other around?" Xiao Chuan frowned and looked at Twilight Sky Snow opposite with a serious face.
"But I just don't like meekness. This sentence made Xiao Chuan directly extinguish the fire, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so in order not to make the atmosphere cold, he continued to lift the sachet.
"This is something from General Twilight's mansion?"
Twilight raised the sachet in her hand and shook it, "Did you say this? This was given to me by Xiao Man when I came. ”
"Xiao Man?"
