The day before the Snow Festival, the people of Lucheng had basically returned home and settled down. According to custom, on the night before the Snow Festival, there is a lantern festival to be held in Lucheng.

This year, the situation outside the city is tense, and the people have just fled home, and the preparations are not sufficient, so the atmosphere of the festival is not stronger than in the past, but everyone's passion for the festival is unprecedentedly high.

In the deer city, every household is lit up, there is light snow in the sky, the sky is bleak, and the red lanterns are more charming.

But the people were happy, but the martial law on the city wall could not be relaxed, Li Shuang led the guards to patrol the city wall for a while, and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so he also went down the city wall. As soon as I reached the main camp, I saw several generals roasting meat and sharing it with the soldiers.

Luo Teng took the largest piece of meat for Li Shuang: "General, the money sent down on weekdays is useless, the brothers have summed it up, and during the day, they took advantage of the market to buy a lot of meat, and let the cook of the original city guard cook it and roast it, tomorrow is the festival, and tonight it will be distributed to the brothers to replenish their bodies, come, I will leave the best to you." ”

Li Shuang looked at the piece of flesh that was bigger than her head and laughed: "What? I look like I can eat better than you? ”

"It's a blessing to be able to eat!" Luo Teng said, "Those ladies in the boudoir, eat something less than a cat lick, and they are sick all day long, and they don't dare to touch it, how can you withstand a beating like you, a general." ”

Qin Lan glanced at him behind Li Shuang: "Luo Teng, forget your form." ”

Luo Teng waved his hand instead: "Hey, why don't we generals care about this, come, general." He sent the meat forward a little more, and Li Shuang took it with a smile: "Come on." It's time to eat, and you can't let your guard down after eating. ”

"Order!"

Li Shuang took a large piece of barbecue back to her tent, this meat was well roasted, golden in color, not fat or greasy, she cut a piece with a knife, and took a bite, the skin was crispy and the inside was soft and juicy. The meat is estimated to be quite fresh and very elastic in the mouth. Li Shuang nodded while eating, the cook in Li Zhangyi's house is good, no wonder he can eat him with such fat.

After cutting two pieces of meat and eating, Li Shuang Erer remembered Jin An, the child is now the time to grow his body, it doesn't hurt to let him eat more meat, she ordered someone to call Jin An, and the sergeant had to order to leave, during this time she was responsible for cutting the meat, a few knives down, cut the bones and meat, and put it in the bowl. As soon as he had done this, the sergeant returned empty-handed and reported: "General, the kid can't be found again." ”

Li Shuang pondered in her heart, and estimated that she had gone out to report to people again.

But nothing happened in the barracks during this time, what letter can he go to report? Trivia about her daily life? Li Shuang waved his hand and let the sergeant go down. Just in time, the lantern festival in Lucheng outside the camp was in full swing, and it began to be noisy outside, Li Shuang glanced out of the camp distractedly, and it happened that Qin Lan came in and bumped into this scene.

It was rare to see that Li Shuang was interested in these things, and the corners of Qin Lan's mouth curled slightly: "General, today's Lucheng Lantern Festival, there is no other major event in the camp, it is better for the general to go out for a walk, these days, the heartstrings are too tight, and it is time to relax." ”

Qin Lan's mention made Li Shuang's heart move: "The barracks ......"

The smile on the corner of Qin Lan's lips deepened slightly: "There are subordinates here, the general can rest assured." ”

"Okay." Li Shuang stood up, "I'll go out for a walk and come back." She got up and left, and did not forget to order the rest of the barbecue to be sent to the guard camp, so as not to waste this rare delicacy in Saibei.

Li Shuang quietly went out of the camp to act, and it was inconvenient to be too extravagant, so she only needed a personal guard to follow her, and Qin Lan asked Ji Ran to follow her. Ji Ran is tall, and he can be regarded as one of the best in the entire Changfeng camp. There will be a lot of people outside, and Ji Ran will open the way for Li Shuang, which must be unimpeded.

The facts were as Qin Lan expected.

In addition to the festival, this lantern festival in Lucheng includes tomorrow's snow festival, which is also the largest trading market of the year, and everyone will buy most of the things they need for the next few months on this day, so the market is especially lively. There are also a lot of people.

Li Shuang and Ji Ran went to the bazaar, and when they saw such a tall man, the people subconsciously took a step to the side, and Li Shuang did not frown at all in the crowded crowd.

Walking through the roadside stalls, Li Shuang was looking at the flowers and feeling the rare joy, but suddenly her eyes stopped in front of a small stall, the stall was full of masks, and it was a uniform black face armor, the appearance of this face armor was no different from that of the mysterious man, Li Shuang stopped.

"Little brother." She picked up a black face armor and called the boss, "I didn't see anyone selling this face armor in previous years, why did you make so many of them out to buy and sell this year?" But what new tribes or nations outside the Cypriot world have the custom of wearing face armor? ”

"Hey, the guest officer doesn't know." The little brother just packed a face armor and handed it to a woman with a child next to him, and the child happily took the black face armor and immediately put on his face. The little brother took the money and continued, "It's not a tribal country, wasn't there a war outside the city a few days ago, the Xirong army was pressing, everyone panicked, and they all fled, I thought there was no peaceful birthday this year, but ah, our Changfeng Camp has a hero!" ”

"The Changfeng camp has a hero?" Li Shuang turned her head and glanced at Ji Ran, who was obviously confused.

"That's right! The hero of the Changfeng Battalion, I heard! That hero, sturdy and mighty, with the strength of one person, saved the general Li Shuang in the chaos, General Li Shuang, you know, it is the heroine! The defender of the Long Wind Battalion! Hey! That woman can also be powerful......"

Li Shuang interrupted him: "Let's talk about heroes first. ”

"Oh, okay, that hero, he saved General Li Shuang in the chaos of the army, and then shot to death the thief Li Zhangyi with his bare hands a hundred miles away, and finally broke into the Xirong army alone. Raised his head, shrunk into inches in an instant, returned to the battlefield in a blink of an eye, threw the head of General Xirong to the ground, and frightened the 100,000 troops to withdraw thirty miles! ”

The peddler obviously didn't talk much about this paragraph in normal times, and it was a dancing eyebrow, and there were many onlookers around him in an instant.

Ji Ran coughed, leaned into Li Shuang's ear and whispered, "General, is this the case?" ”

That day, the battle in front of the city gate was chaotic, Ji Ran plunged into the enemy camp, sullen and ruthless to kill the enemy, and when he reacted, it was time for the enemy to withdraw his troops, and he collected his troops back to Lucheng, and he also knew that someone had beheaded General Xirong.

The sergeants below made a fuss, but because he was Li Shuang's personal guard, the ordinary sergeants didn't dare to come and make trouble with them, and the generals above were tight-mouthed, so they didn't dare to ask, so the situation that day still had these rumors below, and the pro-soldiers in the personal guard camp were probably the people who knew the least in the entire Changfeng camp.

"The order is wrong, and the description is exaggerated...... But that's about it. ”

What is shrinking the ground into inches, and the whole demon method is coming, Li Shuang really can't cry or laugh.

But Ji Ran's eyes lit up in shock.

I only heard the peddler continue: "This is not the end, the hero later beheaded two generals elected by Xirong in a row, and took a total of three heads of Xirong!" All of them are heavyweights! On the last day, he entered the enemy camp alone, burned the opponent's military camp, and directly burned those jackals in Xirong to the point of fart, and he didn't dare to go back! ”

"Good!" "Good!"

The crowd of onlookers next to him began to applaud......

Li Shuang: "......"

"And such a hero, such a strong martial artist! Such a hero who defends his home and country! But not even a name was left! The only thing that people remember is that he has half a face on his face, such a ......" The peddler took the opportunity to pick up a pair of black face armor from his stall, "such a face armor!" ”

"Come on! I'll buy one! Someone next to him immediately handed over the money.

With the first one, there was immediately a second one next to it, one after another, and the people who were watching the lively stories just now actually paid for a black face armor, and the boss couldn't count the money for a while.

Li Shuang was quickly squeezed to the side by the crowd.

She was not in a hurry, and pulled out a black-faced man from the gap in the corner, took it in her hand and played with it twice, and then with a flick of her thumb, a piece of broken silver fell straight into the purse that the little vendor hung on his waist.

Li Shuang took the black armor and left quietly.

Ji Ran asked her puzzledly beside her: "General, why do you buy this?" ”

"I see someone who has been wearing that on their face for a long time, and next time I will give him a new one."

Ji Ran was stunned when he heard this: "General...... When you say someone, do you mean the mysterious man in black armor? ”

Li Shuang smiled and didn't answer, but he glanced at the corner outside the crowd slightly, and the shadows of the trees there were windless and automatic, and Li Shuang knew it in his heart and didn't break it. Only took the black armor to his face, and turned his head to look at Ji Ran: "How is it?" ”

Ji Ran immediately stood up straight and gave a military salute: "Yes!" The general is mighty no matter what! ”

He replied loudly, and someone next to him immediately looked over, and before Li Shuang could say anything, a girl's soft voice came from the side: "Brother Ji? ”

Li Shuang looked for a sound, but saw that it was a cute little girl, with two shallow pear vortices on her face, which looked very sweet, and she was a rare softness and gentleness among the girls outside the Saiwai. Ji Ran also turned his head to look, and then laughed: "Oh, Miss Lu." ”

Miss Lu's eyes quickly turned around Li Shuang, and Li Shuang immediately said, "Do you know my personal guard?" ”

"Guards?" She reacted, "Ah! Are you ......" she turned her head to look around and lowered her voice, "General Li." ”

Li Shuang smiled politely: "Fortunately." ”

"How dare you...... I...... I just heard Brother Ji's voice and came to say hello. offended the general...... "She buried her head low, very embarrassed, and Ji Ran next to her helped to say: "This is the girl in the Lu family's pharmacy in the city, last time Jin An was sick, I went to their shop to buy the medicine, Boss Lu refused to leave Lucheng in the war, saying that in case there are wounded soldiers in the war, they can also use their medicine to treat them." Extremely admirable. ”

Li Shuang nodded, she glanced at the blush on Miss Lu's face, and smiled: "Oh, it's very admirable, Miss Lu must also be a very good girl, you talk first, I'll go to the side to see the lanterns." ”

Li Shuang was about to leave, Miss Lu looked at her with starlight and emotion in her eyes, but at this time Ji Ran said: "How can this be done, Vice General Qin specially ordered me to accompany the general, and his subordinates resolutely did not leave the general half a step away, and swore to protect the general." ”

Ji Ran looked at Li Shuang firmly, and Li Shuang couldn't find any words to refute him for a while. So he glanced at Miss Lu next to him with a lost face, and then he had a plan in his heart: "Okay, in this case, can you bother Miss Lu for a favor, I am not familiar with the Lantern Festival, can there be Miss Lu Lao with me to explain it for me?" ”

The little girl naturally agreed.

Li Shuang walked in front and deliberately left the two behind him.

She knows that these guards are all bosses and difficulties, and it is not easy for her to find a marriage, but she can't involve her subordinates to fight with her, she can make a pair.

Along the way, Li Shuang walked around with a black armor mask, but after listening to Miss Lu behind her, she occasionally explained the things next to her, and accosted Ji Ran by the way: "This snack is a specialty of Lucheng, have the general and Brother Ji ever tasted it?" If you haven't tried it, I'll make it for you next time. ”

Li Shuang's answer was not important, she nodded vaguely, but Ji Ran behind her said seriously: "The general can't eat anything outside the barracks, for fear of poison." ”

“……”

Li Shuang turned her head and glanced at Ji Ran with hopeless eyes, Ji Ran caught Li Shuang's eyes, but she didn't understand what she meant, and then Li Shuang only looked at the little girl next to her who fell silent for a moment, and felt that she was very pitiful.

Her guards...... No wonder I couldn't find my daughter-in-law.

And at this moment, the sad little girl Qi Er stepped on the air and rushed forward, but at this time, Ji Ran's reaction was extremely fast, and he immediately grabbed her with one hand, his arm was probably enough to lift ten girls, this one was properly fished, Li Shuang secretly screamed in her heart.

Kicked a stone silently, right on the ankle of the little girl, the girl exhaled softly in pain, Li Shuang immediately said: "But twisted?" ”

Miss Lu's sentence: "No ......" all began, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Li Shuang's sincere gaze through the black armor mask, she was smarter than Ji Ran, and this stunned person was turned into: "No...... There is too strict zhòng. ”

Ji Ran frowned: "Twisted?" He squatted down to look, but Li Shuang immediately stopped him.

"What are you talking about, a big girl can make you take off your shoes on the street, since her family runs a medicine shop, there will definitely be such a small sprain, you send her home now, let her family rectify it."

"Yes." Ji Ran responded and helped Miss Lu, but she immediately reacted, "Then ...... general?"

"I'll be here waiting for you to come back. These are all ordinary people, what can happen. ”

Ji Ran thought about it, and finally had to respond.

Watching him leave with the Lu girl on her back, Li Shuang smiled and walked forward for a while, she lowered her head to look at the snow on the ground, and suddenly, she only heard "Touch!" With a bang, fireworks were set off in the most central place of Lucheng, and Li Shuang looked up and saw no fireworks, but saw the person in front of him.

The fireworks burst out behind him, and he was like a legend that came out of that ethereal beauty, like an illusion.

Every time it appears, it's so mysterious and weirdly timely.

He wore a black mask, the same black mask as her, and through the mask, they saw themselves in each other's eyes.

Li Shuang smiled: "Hero, don't come unharmed?" ”

"Unharmed." When he saw Li Shuang smiling, his eyes were slightly bent, "Are you happy to see me?" ”

Happy? It seems like...... It's kind of a bit.

Knowing that he was okay and knowing that he was still alive and kicking was probably a little happy...... bar.
