Chapter 16: Sprouting Feelings
At dawn, the morning sun rises slowly from the east, and the warm sunlight shines on the border land, illuminating the cruelty under this land. Corpses everywhere, blood-stained sand, and murderous eyes of the living.
When the sun rose, Rampant Ping, who had suffered heavy losses, had to retreat, looking back at his fellow clansmen in different places, and the hoopoe's bloodshot eyes revealed hatred: "Good! Very good! He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, waved his robe, and led the rest of the people to evacuate from the North Gate of Nanchu.
The soldiers of Nanchu pursued all the way, until the rocks stood in front of him, and Wu Gong, who had killed the red eye, suddenly sobered up and hurriedly shouted to stop! However, it was too late to shout at this time, and the leading 2,000 elite soldiers had already entered the chaotic stone hill.
Wu Gong was anxiously walking back and forth outside the chaotic stone hill, Ning Xiao walked over, and said enthusiastically: "I'll train them out!" β
"No!" Wu Gong frowned, looked at the rocks in front of him, and sighed heavily: "Withdraw the troops." β
Ning Xiao's eyes widened in disbelief and pointed at the rocky hill: "What about the brother who went in?" β
Wu Gong lowered his head, his eyes full of helplessness: "This mess of stone is very weird, they can't come back." β
"How can two thousand people say no, no!" Ning Xiao roared angrily, and he didn't care about the distinction between superiors and subordinates, and turned over and got on the horse.
Seeing this, Wu Gong hurriedly stopped in front of the horse and said coldly: "Vice General Ning, what are you going to do?!" β
"I'm going to find them!" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the soldiers behind him: "Which of you wants to go with me?" β
The soldiers below looked at each other, and finally lowered their eyes under his tiger eyes.
Ning Xiao sneered: "Okay, if you don't go, I'll go!" β
"Vice Admiral Ning!" Everyone stopped.
Ning Xiao ignored it at all, and glared at Wu Gong and a few Simas who were blocking in front of him: "Get out of the way!" β
"Vice Admiral Ning, no." Wu Gong advised, bitter.
Ning Xiao screwed it on, and he wanted to break into this messy stone hill.
"General Wu, people have to go to death, what are you doing to stop you?" The sound of laughter came from behind the soldiers.
Ning Xiao turned around angrily, but when his outstretched fingers saw the comer, they were frozen in the air, and his throat was even more like choking on rice balls, and he couldn't speak.
"What is Vice General Ning pointing to the prince?" Shen Rui, who came with Yu Jinfan, asked.
"Nanmu!" Yu Jinfan glanced at Shen Rui.
Shen Rui stuck out her tongue and looked around boredly.
Ning Xiao also came back to his senses, hurriedly put down his hand, jumped off the horse and said respectfully to Yu Jinfan: "Shizi." β
Yu Jinfan just nodded to him, and then looked at Wu Gong behind him: "General Wu, lead the troops back to the camp." β
Ning Xiao hurriedly said, "Shizi, I-"
"Back to camp." Yu Jinfan spit out two words lightly, his expression was cold, but his whole body exuded undoubted majesty.
Shen Rui's eyes that were looking everywhere unconsciously stopped on her body, and the normal beating frequency of her left chest suddenly made a beat.
"Yes." Ning Xiao said in a low voice, and turned over on the horse and turned the horse's head.
Seeing this, Wu Gong breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the chaotic stone hill behind him regretfully, and he turned over and got on his horse: "Go back to the camp!" β
Yu Jinfan turned the horse's head expressionlessly, and when he turned around, he saw someone looking at him stupidly, that gaze, a little confused, a little hot. She frowned and rode away.
Wu Gong rode a horse to Shen Rui's side, and saw that her eyes had been moving with Yu Jinfan, but she was motionless as if she was stupid, and reminded softly: "Southern general? β
"Huh?" Shen Rui came back to his senses and said with a smile at Wu Gong, "It's so good-looking." Wu Gong was just about to ask her something inexplicably, but Shen Rui turned around and shouted, "Shizi, wait for me!" "Then he rode after him.
Wu Gong scratched his head and looked at her departing back, muttering to himself: "It's so good-looking?" Me? β
"Why don't you wait for me?" It's hard to catch up with people, Shen Rui complained.
Yu Jinfan ignored her at all and walked forward.
Shen Rui was depressed, chased two steps forward, and tentatively called "Shizi"?
Yu Jinfan said "um" coldly and asked, "Is there something wrong with the southern generals?" β
Shen Rui frowned: "Nanmu." β
Yu Jinfan: ""
"What are you awkward?" Shen Rui was puzzled, seeing that the army and them had fallen behind, she boldly stopped in front of Yu Jinfan.
Yu Jinfan looked at her coldly: "Get out of the way." β
"You're very strange, you were fine when you came, how can you say that you are not happy if you are not happy? Didn't I just say a few words to Ning Xiao, he was originally going to die. Shen Rui pouted.
"Brother Xiao is a deputy general, your superior."
"So what?" Shen Rui asked, looking directly at her without fear, and sneered: "Because he is a superior, is it right to be wrong?" β
Yu Jinfan didn't answer and asked: "Are you right to commit the following crimes?" β
Shen Rui was choked.
"Reflect on it!" Yu Jinfan said, turned the horse's head, bypassed her and continued to move forward.
Shen Rui looked up at the oncoming army, his eyes fell on Ning Xiao who was in the forefront, and muttered in a muffled voice: "Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao? It's so affectionate! β
Sullen and unhappy, Manaki and Bimachi, who were hanging their clothes, saw this and hurriedly put down their actions and greeted them. "Shizi, what's wrong?" Bicho said with concern that she was clearly very happy when they came back with food together.
Shen Rui depressedly hugged the waists of the two, and leaned her head lazily on Bicho's shoulder: "Annoying! β
Bicho was even more worried: "But what happened to the army?" β
"It's not." Shen Rui said sullenly, and after a while, she suddenly let go of the two of them and asked seriously, "Do you still remember Vice General Ning Xiaoning?" β
Bimachi and Manaki glanced at each other and nodded in unison.
"What do you think of Ning Xiao?"
"Dignified appearance, a decent gentleman." Bimachi replied seriously.
Man Zhao nodded approvingly, with a girl's shyness on his face: "Vice General Ning is also handsome." β
Shen Rui glared: "Where is the gentleman?" Where is handsome? β
Bi Ding was puzzled: "Vice General Ning has made Nanmu unhappy?" β
"Nope." Shen Rui said awkwardly, and walked to the chair irritably and sat down to drink water. Before the water was down, she heard Manzhao muttering in a low voice, "Vice General Ning is indeed very handsome." was so angry that Shen Rui almost choked, and she wanted to smash her dull little head with the cup in her hand.
"Manzhao." Bi Ding prompted, and he came to Shen Rui's side and sat down, and said in a gentle tone: "Nanmu really didn't tell us what happened?" β
Shen Rui raised her eyes and looked at her, and said the matter in a muffled voice.
"The prince scolded you?" Bimachi frowned, his face was already dissatisfied,
Shen Rui leaned on the table tastefully: "Yes, for Ning Xiao's kid!" β
When Bicho heard this, she realized that something was wrong, how could she be angry, but she seemed to be jealous? Thinking like this, she only slowed down to the knot re-knot in the past few days, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was wrong, and blurted out: "The son of the world has a habit of dragon yang? β
Shen Rui almost choked on saliva. Man Zhao beside her was also taken aback, and looked at Shen Rui sympathetically: "What about the master?" β
Bicho didn't think about it and said, "What does the prince have to do with the master?" β
"The master and the son have a marriage contract, if the son has a habit of dragon yang, then the master is not" The three words of widowhood did not dare to say.
Shen Rui understood what she meant, and held her forehead angrily and funny, the first reaction in her head was not that she didn't plan to marry Yu Jinfan, but that she was thinking about whether Yu Jinfan, who was dressed as a man, liked men and women?
"Bi Town, Man Zhao, do you think women should like men, especially Ning Xiao?" Shen Rui suddenly asked seriously.
"It's not."
"Of course."
Bimachi and Manaki replied in unison.
Shen Rui blinked, looking back and forth at the two people with very different answers: "Why?" As she spoke, she pointed at Man Zhao: "Man Zhao, do you like Ning Xiao's guy?" β
Manzhao's face turned red, and his toes grinded against the ground.
Shen Rui looked her shyness up and down, and said with a smile: "Yo, look at this little blushing, it seems that our little Manzhao has really grown up." β
"The master is so bad!" Man Zhaojiao sneered, stomped his foot, and ran out of the tent.
"This little girl, her vision is really bad." Shen Rui smiled, but when she thought that Yu Jinfan's mind might be the same as her, she was suddenly depressed again. Turning his gaze to Bimachi in front of him, his curiosity grew.
Bimachi blushed for a moment, and he couldn't say anything with a sentence in his chest, "What I like is you". "He's not my type." She said casually.
"And what kind of man do you like?"
Bimachi frowned, she didn't like men at all!
Shen Rui thought she was shy, and encouraged: "Say, when you go back, I'll ask my mother to find someone you like." Bicho plopped down and knelt down, Shen Rui stood up in surprise by her, frowned and said, "Bicho, you areβ"
"Bimachi doesn't want to get married, Bimachi just wants to stay with his master!" Bicho looked at her persistently.
Shen Rui saw her stubbornness that she couldn't agree to, sighed helplessly, helped the person up, and said obediently: "Okay, good, but you will meet someone you like in the future-"
"No, it won't." Bi Ding didn't want to think about it, but her heart was sour, she really didn't understand her own mind.
The main account, Min Hyuk looked up several times to see Yu Jinfan in the seat, since she came back to the present, she has been sitting in such a daze, not turning a page of the scroll in her hand. "Shizi?" She called tentatively, but the people above didn't seem to hear, staring at one place and not responding.
"Shizi?" Min Hyuk shouted again.
Yu Jinfan suddenly came back to his senses and looked at her in confusion.
"Shizi, what's the matter? Coming back so far, absent-minded. Min Hyuk worried.
Yu Jinfan's mind resurfaced several times of Shen Rui's closeness, and he was inexplicably uneasy about the strangeness in his heart. "Minhyuk, come here." She said suddenly.
Min Hyuk approached her obediently.
Yu Jinfan frowned: "Come over again." β
Min Hyuk blinked in surprise and came closer.
"Come to me!" Yu Jinfan is colorful.
Min Hyuk leaned over nervously, the distance between the two was less than three inches, although Min Hyuk had followed Yu Jinfan since childhood, but such a close distance still made her fearful.
I don't feel anything! Obviously it was the same distance, but she didn't look strange at all, Yu Jinfan frowned in annoyance, and couldn't find this strange feeling.
Outside the tent, Wu Gong cooperated with Ning Xiao to ask for a meeting, Min Hyuk was startled, and stammered: "Shi, Shizi? β
Yu Jinfan collected his thoughts, waved his hand calmly, and motioned for her to let the two of them in.
As if he was about to be amnestied, Min Hyuk hurried out of the tent and summoned two people into the tent.
"Shizi, the army has been reorganized, and the two thousand elite soldiers who entered the chaotic stone hill are connected, and we have lost a total of three thousand elite soldiers, two thousand soldiers, and eight hundred cavalry in this battle." Wu Gong said.
Yu Jinfan bowed his head and instructed him to arrange it properly.
Wu Gong took the order, turned his head to look at Ning Xiao who was hanging his head beside him, and retired first.
As soon as Wu Gong left, Ning Xiao knelt down: "The last general is reckless, please ask the prince to surrender." β
Yu Jinfan smiled with relief: "Brother Xiao is reckless today, but if you know your mistake, I will punish you with ten sticks to set an example." β
"Xie Shizi." Ning Xiao smiled comfortably and retreated.
