Chapter 61: Sleeping Together and Listening to the Spring Rain
Durhan watched as Princess Daxian fled eastward, escorted by a few people. After a little contemplation, he gave up the plan to continue the pursuit, but it was just a matter of convenience, and there was no need to make any more extraneous branches. He then led the army across Luoshui and began to camp in the open space on the east bank.
After running overnight, no matter how powerful the empire is, the consumption of iron cavalry is extremely huge, not to mention that it has to face many unpredictable things in the future, camp and rest, so that the soldiers and horses can recover.
Looking at Tai'an Town on the other side, some guards were puzzled, "Your Majesty, why don't you camp in Tai'an Town, but in this wilderness?" Durhan replied quite smugly, "Crossing this Luoshui is our purpose, if we camp in Tai'an Town, and some enemy soldiers take advantage of the darkness to destroy this stone bridge, our march will definitely be affected, and we will miss a major event." ”
This time the troops were sent out, which could be regarded as a lone army, one wrong step, one wrong step, and he thought about it again and again in the most important joints.
After the camp of the army was over, Darhan thought that the shaman who had rushed to Zhongnan Mountain should also be back soon. After all, the princess of the Great Constitutional Kingdom let herself meet, and there was no need for the shaman to stay in Zhongnan Mountain, and at that time it was nothing more than more truth and falsehood, so that the army could march smoothly.
The man Darhan was waiting for did arrive, and KGG arrived at the camp with the shaman. Although the original purpose of the disturbance was achieved, the unexpected loss of some soldiers and horses made Durhan quite unhappy, especially the soldiers and horses of unknown origin that appeared at the end.
"Could it be the team of Wen Junshi that the Constitutionaconian State mentioned in Madame's information wants to exterminate?" Darhan muttered in his heart. This force did not pay too much attention to in the deduction, after all, the target of these people was the Daxian Court, and the invasion of the Golden Horde helped them invisibly. These people have no reason to hold themselves back.
Fortunately, the losses were not large, and after some admonition, Darhan let KGG return to the camp with his men and horses.
......
The three guards rode slowly to the outside of the camp of the Golden Horde, a distance of about a mile, and they left their horses behind, and then groped their way closer.
In the evening, in the battle with the Golden Horde, except for the hand-to-hand combat at the beginning, they were all used as arrow targets in the back, and they all held their breath in their hearts, especially the lack of thought that they had not completed the number of people, thinking that they would kill enough no matter how they entered the camp.
No matter how tightly guarded the camp of the Golden Horde is, it is always difficult for the three cultivators, with a high guard leading the way in front, Wu Nian and Xuan Yi followed, and slowly touched into the camp by the night. The rain does not know the current affairs, so it falls unreasonably. The three of them didn't care about sheltering from the rain, so they went to the tallest military camp to find out some news first, and then they could start.
The rain did not affect the moonlight in the sky, nor did it obstruct the lights in the camp, at most it soaked the open space in the camp room and the brims of the sentries' hats.
The figures of the three of them were constantly moving around the barracks room, especially Wunian seemed to be hidden in the night, and the sentries stationed outside the barracks were unaware.
The largest barracks was about to arrive, but the high guard raised his hand to signal to stop, and his expressions became solemn. Seeing that the two senior brothers stabilized their figures, Xuanyi also stopped, letting the rain drop on his face.
The three of them just paused, and Gao Guard and Wu Nian looked at each other for a moment, and they both saw a cautious attitude in each other's eyes. Wu Nian signaled with his eyes, or withdraw, and the high guard also nodded slightly in agreement.
As soon as the two of them retreated, Xuan Yi was about to retreat, but he saw a Golden Horde coming out of the barracks, his sleeve dart cutting through the raindrops and taking the man by the throat.
I didn't see the person fall to the ground, but a raindrop that originally fell from the sky, for some reason changed direction, flew directly towards the dart, ding, the raindrop scattered, but the dart also lost the momentum of progress, and fell down.
"Let's go. The tall guard shouted urgently, and his body swept backwards.
Their bodies were extremely fast, like shadows, and they floated back a few feet, but the raindrops came faster, not from the sky, but turned backwards in the air and flew towards them, the raindrops were close, and the three of them swung their swords to protect their bodies.
I saw a white light, tinkling, and then a muffled snort, Xuanyi covered his right arm, and was still struggling to hit those flying raindrops.
Seeing this, Gao Guard and Wu Nian saw this, and the sword light in front of them became a piece, protecting Xuanyi behind them, and retreating while fighting.
It's a pity that it's not easy to retreat now, the raindrops are coming more urgently, and they are coming more, their sword light is constantly moving back, and their footsteps are constantly moving backwards.
......
Although the small fishing boat was crowded, it finally gave Duanmu Xu and Zhao Luojia a place to shelter from the rain. Duanmuxu didn't pretend to be a gentleman standing outside the boat, but followed Zhao Luojia into the canopy, of course, Zhao Luojia didn't care, after all, this was not her Yonghe Palace.
The two looked at each other for a moment, but fortunately the curtain was not lowered, and they both looked at the rain falling into the pond. Xu felt that such a silent relationship was not a way after all, Duanmu Xu said softly, "I ...... just now", before he finished his words, he heard the other party reply, "It's okay." ”
Zhao Luojia really didn't blame him, she could feel that this person didn't have malicious intentions, just a move in a hurry.
Hearing the other party say, "It's okay", Duanmu Xu's heart was a little apprehensive just now. Even if Uncle Huangfu talked about those deep hatreds and old hatreds, he wanted to take revenge and make the blood debt of the one in the palace pay for it, but for some reason he just couldn't put this hatred on the person in front of him.
The young man's spring heart is not like this, although the person in front of him is indeed so beautiful, since the kind of dream-like encounter when he took the soul, he can't let go, but he is not a person who lets himself go after all. It's just that this kind of hatred is really difficult to transfer to this person, what he can feel in her is closeness, natural closeness.
"You've never ever made a fishing boat like this. "You always have to stir up a topic, otherwise the close blowing is like an orchid, and it always makes people lose their minds.
"Nope. Zhao Luojia replied a little timidly, remembering that he had lived in the palace for a long time, in fact, he was like those birds in a cage, and he always didn't know about many things in the outside world.
"I've actually only sat there once, and once when I went out to buy some fishery, I went to a fisherman's house. This is also a rare opportunity for Duanmu Xu to go out, he is busy in the kitchen most of the time.
"Do you still need to buy aquatic products? What about the people in the family?" This kind of thing naturally doesn't need Zhao Luojia to do.
“...... Well......", Duanmu Xu felt as if he was talking too much, and unconsciously revealed some of his details.
Hearing the other party's vague answer, Zhao Luojia thought that his question was a little abrupt.
There was silence again, perhaps because the rain in the fish pond was tired of watching, or maybe it felt that too much time had passed.
Zhao Luojia asked, "I don't know how the high guards went to investigate?"
Duanmu Xu was naturally impressed by the high guards and the Wunian Zhenren, so he replied casually, "It's just to investigate, it should be fine, it may not be long before they come back." ”
He and Zhao Luojia actually didn't regard the three guards going to the camp as a dangerous thing, facing the rain of arrows on the Tai'an Bridge, they could retreat with their whole body, not to mention that they were just visiting the camp at night, even if they were discovered, they must be able to get out safely.
"Why don't you rest and wait for them to come back, and we'll make plans. Xu felt that it was better to rest with each other if they were so together, Duanmu Xu suggested.
"Hmm. Zhao Luojia replied. Although she had all kinds of questions in her heart, this was not the time to inquire.
After the curtain was lowered, the two men were no more than an arm's length apart from each other, and each sat in a corner of the canopy with their clothes folded, leaning on their bodies, closing their eyes and pretending to sleep.
The rain outside the boat is dripping tirelessly into the fish pond, and occasionally there is the sound of fish fluttering and surfacing the water, although there are various sounds, but the world is quiet. Zhao Luojia felt very peaceful in her heart.
The sound of the rain entering the pond, and the sound of the fish fluttering, all slowly faded away, and all Duanmu Xu heard was the sound of beating in his chest, and the sound of slight breathing not far away.
One person does not care whether such a night is long or not, immersed in a peace of mind, and the other person hopes that such a night will be longer, enjoying an indescribable pleasure that has never been felt before.
