Chapter Eighty-Three: Faith
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Lan Xue's mind, and her face gradually showed an excited look, only to see her take out a fire fold from her arms and say, "I think I know how to give those barbarians a surprise sneak attack!" β
"What do you mean?" Several people looked at each other and looked at Lan Xue with puzzled expressions. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Lan Xue smiled faintly, only to see her blow the fire fold, and the flame jumped out, and then saw her slowly approach the snow block.
Then, the unthinkable happened!
When the fire broke close to the snow, the flame began to shake gradually, and then the flame became smaller and smaller, and smaller, until it was completely close to the snow, and the flame was completely extinguished.
Seeing this scene, several people were stunned, and Han Shengshu said: "This... Could it be that this snow has an effect on everything that is hot? β
Lan Xue smiled faintly, blew the fire fold again, and then placed it on another piece of snow, just like just now, the flame still turned into flames, and finally completely dissipated.
Putting away the fire fold, Lan Xue said with a smile: "I think this snow must be absorbing heat." β
"Absorbing heat? Brother Blue, how did you come up with the idea? Zheng Chengsheng hurriedly asked.
Lan Xue smiled, pointed to the piece of snow that Zheng Chengsheng spat on just now, and said: "It's not your credit Brother Zheng, in fact, I was just a little suspicious, but just after seeing Brother Zheng's saliva spit on this snow block, it didn't melt the snow block, but was absorbed into it, and then I thought of Brother Zheng's saliva before, I thought that these snow blocks have a certain absorption capacity for hot things, so I just had a try." But I didn't expect it to be as I thought. β
Zheng Chengsheng, Han Shengshu and Murong Qing all looked at Lan Xue, and only after a while did they hear Murong Qing say with a smile: "General Lan is really smart!" β
"Yes! We couldn't even think of it! Zheng Chengsheng also praised with a smile.
Han Shengshu also nodded with a smile on the side, and also praised Lan Xue's intelligence.
Lan Xue smiled embarrassedly and said, "Okay, don't praise me, let's continue what I just said!" β
Hearing Lan Xue say this, the three of them also quieted down, and then listened to Lan Xue continue: "Since everything is caused by this snow block, then let's clean up these snow blocks, although it may be very laborious, but as long as the snow can be removed, we can find the location of the barbarians with the help of the firelight, and then attack them!" β
Hearing Lan Xue's words, several people were silent, and after a while, they heard Han Shengshu say: "Brother Lan is right! Now that we've found the cause, let's prepare! It may be a lot of work, but at least we can give it a try! β
Zheng Chengsheng also nodded, but then frowned and said: "It's okay to do this, I'm afraid that those barbarians will attack in advance, after all, the barbarians have been assembled, and after that incident, I think the barbarians should also be ready to attack, if we divide a part of our forces to do this at this time, I'm afraid..."
He didn't say the rest of the words, but the few people present knew what he was going to say, indeed, the big war was about to break out, you don't know when the barbarians will attack, but at this time, they have to let the soldiers push the snow? It might be a good thing to do to deliver enemies, but... After all, the outcome is still unknown.
What if the snow is pushed and the brute is still not found, and the brute attacks at this time? I have to think about this matter, and I can't think about it! So the cave was quiet.
After a while, Lan Xue suddenly said, "That's it!" I'll take someone to do this, so you should go back and continue training and be ready at all times. β
"You're going to do it?"
"That's right." Lan Xue nodded and said, "I only bring the people I brought back from outside here to do this, and I won't use my original soldiers, after all, these people I brought were originally outside of our soldiers, and they won't delay anything when they come here, General Zheng, what do you think?" β
"This..."
Seeing that Zheng Chengsheng was still hesitating, Lan Xue said again: "Actually, although this matter is indeed not very sure that it will succeed, I don't want to give up, I want to try, if it really succeeds, it will definitely be a great thing for us!" When the time comes, we can attack from the rear when the barbarians attack, so that we can also catch the barbarians off guard, and when we take control of the barbarians' lair, we can outflank them from behind. In this way, our Quartet team is attacking back and forth, and those barbarians will not come back! β
Hearing Lan Xue say this, Zheng Chengsheng naturally had no objections, and said, "Okay!" Then it's up to you, Brother Blue! β
Seeing that Zheng Chengsheng agreed, Lan Xue also breathed a long sigh of relief, if she wanted to do it, she could naturally do it, but if there was no consent from General Zheng, then if she forcibly did it at that time, it would definitely make the two of them have a dislike, so the gains outweighed the losses!
"By the way, there's one more thing." Lan Xue stood up and walked to the stone wall, pointed to the hole that had been carved out, and said: "There is underground water in here, and it is living water, so I suggest that we find soldiers to open this place completely, so that we can also see if this water can be drunk, and if it can be drunk, we will ask the soldiers to get more back, so as not to let our people drink that snow water again." β
Zheng Chengsheng nodded, and then said, "Okay!" Okay, since it's okay for the time being, let's go back first! I would also like to instruct someone to come here and completely knock down this stone wall, if there is really water to drink, it will be a real big deal for us! β
Everyone just walked back, and on the way, several people were still talking a lot about this matter.
In fact, the main question is whether it can be successful, if it does not succeed after consuming manpower, it is really not good.
More than an hour later, Lan Xue and the others went out of the underground cave in turn, looked at the sky, it was already noon, Han Shengshu invited Lan Xue and a few people to the nearest camp for lunch, and then left separately.
On the way back, neither Lan Xue nor Murong Qing spoke, and it wasn't until they returned to the tent that Murong Qing slowly spoke: "Lan Xue, I have something to say to you." β
"You say."
"I think I'm leaving." Murong Qing looked at her, her words were full of reluctance, and those eyes were also looking at Lan Xue and couldn't bear to close her eyes.
"Leave?" Lan Xue was stunned, then frowned and said, "What?" Can't stand the pain here? That's right, you, a young master in the capital, the eldest grandson of the Taishi, naturally can't stand the suffering here, I understand, you go back! β
"That's not it!" Murong Qing smiled bitterly: "It's really bitter here, I will definitely stay for you, but... Two days ago, I received a letter from home, saying that it was... I said that my grandmother was seriously ill and was about to be..."
He didn't say the rest of the words, but Lan Xue also understood that the emotion was that his grandmother was sick! And looking at his appearance, it seems that he is still very sick.
Lan Xue didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Then you go back quickly!" Don't delay! β
Murong Qing looked at Lan Xue in a daze, and said with a wry smile: "Don't you keep me?" β
Lan Xue looked at him speechlessly and said, "What am I leaving you for?" Now that something has happened to your family, what's the use of me keeping you? You'd better go back early and don't let your family worry about you. I don't think it's too early today, so you can go back tomorrow!" I'll tell the big man to send you out. β
Murong Qing smiled and said, "So you still care about me." β
Lan Xue rolled her eyes, didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned around and went back to the tent, Murong Qing stood there and sighed, shook his head helplessly, and walked towards his tent as well.
Early the next morning, Lan Xue let the big man leave with Murong Qing! Before parting, Murong Qing handed Lan Xue a letter and asked her to wait for her to leave. Lan Xue was inexplicable for a while, but she still accepted it.
It was night, and the moonlight was like water, clear and cold.
Lan Xue sat in the big tent, took out the letter, thought about it, opened it, and read it by candlelight.
"Lan Xue: When you read this letter, I'm afraid that I have already left this place where I have lived for a few months, in fact, I was originally reluctant to leave, not only because of these soldiers who have been with me here for a long time, but also because of you!"
"Originally, in the past ten years before me, I never thought that I would become so different from me because of a woman, I used to be dismissive of women, probably influenced by my family, and I didn't think it was anything, but when I met you, until now I still clearly remember that day in the alley, you and I bumped together, I wrapped your waist, and although you wore a veil, you still have a pair of watery eyes, those eyes I still remember, and I still make my heart move."
"I admit that I was also against this family business at the beginning, after all, I didn't care much about women at that time, it is true that I had a lot of young ladies who had a good impression of me at that time, and there were many people who came to propose marriage, but I didn't agree, I'm afraid it's because I haven't met you yet."
"But when I met you and knew your identity, I was happy and happy, they all said that the wife is good, the lover is hard to find, and how many couples actually have no feelings, but they have some feelings after getting along for a long time, but these feelings have become family affection after they have faded."
"But you and me, I don't know what you think, but I fell in love with you at first sight, I like your frankness, I like your straightforwardness, I like that you can give up everything for the people you care about, and I also like that you can say no to things you don't like!"
"You are different, in my eyes you are different from those women, although you are a woman, but you have the boldness and sincerity that women have never had! So I fell in love with you, and I couldn't help but like you! β
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to great lengths to persuade my family to persuade your father to allow you to leave and let me leave with you!"
"These are things I do willingly, and I don't regret it, even if I know that you don't like me, I never regret it."
"But because I really love you, I want you to be my woman, and I know that my jealousy may be really strong, and sometimes even I think it's incredible! Because I'm jealous of others because of you! But I'm really jealous! And jealousy does not work! β
"I feel uncomfortable when I see you and Han Shengshu being intimate, I feel sad when I see you talking and laughing with him, and I am even more jealous when I see you kissing him that night!"
"I know I shouldn't do this, but I just can't control my own heart, I love you, I can even give up my life for you, maybe I'm exaggerating, but this is my heart."
"Yesterday a letter came from home, and it said that my grandmother was sick, and very sick, although I don't know if this was a lie they told me to go back or if my grandmother was really sick, but I had to go back, thinking that I didn't dare to take risks, after all, my grandmother was very good to me."
"But I'm so reluctant to let you go, I don't want to leave you, I don't want to fantasize about how happy you were when you and Han Shengshu were together after I left, when I think of this, I feel like I'm going crazy!"
"I don't know if it's not me! Because it's not like me anymore! I would never have been able to do this, but since I met you! I've changed! β
"Having said all this, you may think I'm ridiculous and naΓ―ve, but... All right! Because I'm in love with you, I've probably become really naΓ―ve and ridiculous! But so what? One of my hearts is tied to you, what else can you call me? I may not come back here to look for you when I leave, but I know you will return to the capital. β
"What I want to say is, I will wait for you, wait for you to come back, wait for you to see you again, hold on to you, and let me be my Murong Qing's woman!"
The letter is gone! Lan Xue looked at the letter in a daze, speechless for a long time!
She didn't know why he liked herself so much, what was worth it for him to do this for himself, there was someone who liked someone, but she never knew that someone would like it so much. It is true that Murong Qing is a good one, except that his body is weaker, his physical strength is poorer, and he is a little more faceless, but he is actually fine. It's just that...
Scratching her head, Lan Xue let out a long breath and muttered softly: "I don't know if I will like you in the end, but I know that I am just a friend to you now, if you really like me, I can only apologize for the time being." At least... I don't like you at all! β
The night breeze blew wantonly on this white snow, as if to blow away the troubles and sorrows, thoughts and worries that lingered here. However, since some things can be left, no matter how strong the wind blows, I am afraid that they will not be able to disperse!
