Yuan Xiu said that she would let Twilight stay in the General's Mansion tonight, and Twilight Qing felt that in order to prevent Hu Yanhao from wandering to Xiaguan City, the city gate would be closed for a few days, and she would probably need to stay in the General's Mansion for a few days.

That being the case, then you can live in peace.

There is a mourning hall in the general's mansion, two large coffins lie quietly, a pair of mutilated bones without heads and hands and feet and two empty coffins, the white silk gloomy sky, the mourning hall is deserted, and no one mourns. Yuan Xiu ordered to find the bones of Xiao Zheng and Taozi first, and the bones of the dead elite soldiers in the Lu army were left on the way from the northwest to the border pass, and I don't know whether they were buried in the yellow sand or eaten by wild wolves, and Xu could no longer find them.

When the 100,000 Northwest soldiers of Jialan Guancheng heard that Hu Yanhao had infiltrated the city and killed two lieutenant generals, they were immediately furious. In the city, this day the army searched the city, the yellow sand that stepped on the sky was all over the sky, and the twilight stood in the courtyard of the general's mansion and looked up into the distance, the yellow sand overflowed the wall, and he was confused.

The scene of the yellow sand of the city is still in the night, and the moonlight is obscured, hazy as fog.

Twilight lives in a guest room, a courtyard with a towering ancient tree in the courtyard that cuts the hazy moonlight into fine pieces. There was still a lot of noise in the city, and she couldn't sleep, so she went out of the house and went to sit at the stone table under the tree. With the dappled moonlight falling on the table, Twilight raised her hand to wipe the loess on her fingertips, and she suddenly felt that it was a stupid decision to go out, so she got up and went back to her room.

When I opened the door, entered the house, and turned around to close the door, I suddenly realized that there was someone in the sky!

Twilight's heart was slightly cold, and when she looked up, she saw the roof in the distance, the moonlight was hazy, sitting alone, holding the pot, looking up, drinking, the ink hair covered the moonlight with the wind, turning her back to the desert mountain pass, looking at the long river in the pass, the yellow wind was bleak, the person was on the roof, drinking with the moon on his back, and he was proud.

I don't see the mountains and clouds at night, but I seem to suddenly see a dragon in the clouds.

The man took a sip, put down the flask, and turned his head to look, the distance between the two was far away, but his gaze fell on her precisely, and then it seemed that he could see him smile at her, and then he raised his hand and waved at her.

Twilight had no choice but to go out again, when she came to the guest room this afternoon, the soldier who sent her had told her not to walk in the mansion at will after nightfall, she was not the kind of person who liked to wander around in other people's mansions, and she also knew that the general's mansion was a military place, and there was no formation mechanism in the mansion, so she never left the courtyard after arriving at the guest room. At this time, it was night when he came out, Yuan Xiu was sitting on the top of the General's Pavilion in front of him, and Twilight Qing followed all the way without encountering any formations.

Before she arrived at the General's Pavilion, she heard Yuan Xiu smile at her and asked, "Can you get up?" ”

Twilight stopped ten steps outside the pavilion and remained silent.

She doesn't know how to do light work, and there is no ladder under the pavilion, so obviously she can't go up.

She didn't feel the need to answer these questions.

Yuan Xiu smiled, jumped down with the wine jug, saw a black wind in the moonlight, and the person had already entered the pavilion, and sat down with a black robe, and greeted with a big hand: "Come in and sit!" ”

Twilight walked in with her feet raised, and when she saw the moonlight shining into the pavilion and a layer of loess on the bluestone bench, she lifted her robe and beat it, and then sat down.

Yuan Xiu saw the joke and said: "The men in the army are not informal, and this little bit of yellow mud is still disgusted!" How to go to the desert in the future? ”

I didn't see her at the autopsy, but now I'm clean, this kid!

Twilight doesn't talk, although they haven't known each other for a long time, but her temperament Yuan Xiu also touched the edge, no one talked to him as freely, his cuffs drooped, and a wine bowl turned out of his palm, and he pushed it towards Twilight.

Twilight's gaze fell on the bowl, "I'm not interested in drinking yellow muddy water. ”

Yuan Xiu raised his eyebrows, "How do you know it's water?" ”

The young man sat alone opposite, the moonlight shining into the bowl, the clear water waves shook her eyebrows, the eyebrows and eyes became colder and colder, as if she could see through people, "The general's hair, sleeves, and coat all show that you are upwind, and the last will be downwind." The bowl is two feet in front of the last general, and the range of human smell is within three zhang, if I can't smell it, it's either my nose is bad, or the general's wine is not good. ”

Yuan Xiu was stunned, crying and laughing, "Isn't it just a bowl of water, where do you have so many truths!" You kid, you're old-fashioned and boring! ”

Twilight grimaced, "The general asked me how I know." ”

That's what she concluded, he asked, she answered, could there be a more interesting answer?

Yuan Xiu was stunned again, in his opinion, it was just a gossip, how did he know that everything in this kid's heart was like a case? He suddenly smiled helplessly, knowing that this kid was so straightforward, he didn't ask.

"When the general asked me, I answered truthfully, I don't like to deceive." Twilight Road.

When Yuan Xiu heard this, his smile gradually retracted, just now he was just joking, he didn't expect her to be so serious, looked at her for a while, and nodded.

I don't like to deceive, although this kid is a little old-fashioned, but this is also a good quality!

Seeing that Yuan Xiu's eyes became serious, the coldness in Dusk Qing's eyes faded a little, and he glanced at the wine jug in his hand, thinking that the man was so arrogant on the roof just now, and he drank only water, so he said: "It is useless for the general to drink water or drink, it is most useful to vomit." ”

She remembered her first anatomy class, the first examination of a high* corpse, the first scene of a homicide...... As a rule of thumb, nothing works better than emptying your stomach.

Yuan Xiu held on to the pot and wanted to take a few sips, but when he heard the words, he put it down again, looked at her for a while and said, "Do you think I feel disgusting to eat that human flesh?" ”

Yuan Xiu ate a few bites of that lamb chop, and there was also human flesh in the dishes made in the kitchen last night, although that elbow went into the stomach of Old General Gu, but presumably Yuan Xiu did not eat less. That is the flesh of the soldiers under his command, who has been born and died on the battlefield with him, as the commander of an army, he must be calm, but it does not mean that his heart will not fluctuate.

Yuan Xiu saw that she didn't talk, so he took the wine jug and raised his head to take a long sip, the water was clear, the moonlight was shining, and the elixir and jade liquid were general, but the drink was always light and tasteless.

Year after year, this wine is just water, and he is used to it, but he can drink it with pride when he uses water as wine!

The flask was put down, the man wiped the corners of his mouth, and smiled happily, "Human flesh? I've eaten it early! It tastes good! ”

Twilight raised her eyebrows, and saw Yuan Xiu turning his head to look west, his gaze was extremely far away, as if he had fallen on the desert Guan Mountain in the twilight like snow, the moonlight shone on half of the man's side face, and the other half sank into the night, dark and difficult to see.

I only heard him say: "When I was your age, I had just joined the army for less than two years, and at that time, the Northwest Army had not yet been established, and it was General Gu Lao who defended the city. That year, Ledan united the two Rongdi troops to attack, General Gu led the army to resist the enemy, at that time the city was not repaired, I found a small road out of the pass, so I asked for orders to lead 20,000 cavalry out of the pass, raid the Ledan tooth tent. The tent of King Ledan was north of the Urkut steppe, and bordered by the Tamar Desert. If the terrain is to be discovered if it is attacked from the front, I will lead people deep into the desert and attack from behind. The desert march, you need to find out the dark river first, there is a small general in the army, a native of the northwest border city, and he is very good at finding water sources. There were Hu spies in the two dark rivers of the Tamar Desert, and I asked him to find a hidden one, so I ordered to march along the newly discovered dark river. ”

"The first three days were very smooth, and on the evening of the fourth day, when the army was resting and replenishing, we encountered a black storm." Yuan Xiu paused at this point, and Twilight's eyes sank.

Black Storm, commonly known as Black Wind, Twilight has never seen it, but knows that it is a disastrous weather with strong winds and dense sand and dust, the wind wall can reach a kilometer high, the visibility is zero, and where it passes, the sand is buried and the sand is cut, leaving no grass!

"On that day, more than half of the army was killed and wounded, and after the storm stopped, the rest of the people rested again, but they found that in order to escape the storm, they had deviated from the dark river, the terrain had changed, and the boy could not find a water source for a while, and the army was trapped in the desert. The dry food and water brought by the march lasted only three days, after which they killed the horses, ate the flesh and blood of the horses, and groped their way in the depths of the desert, but did not find a water source for four or five days. More than 2,000 of the 10,000 died of thirst, and every day there were men and horses left behind. Horse blood is not a thirst-quenching thing, even horses have no strength to kill again, and the army has no water and no food, facing sleepiness and death. The young general, who led the army up the dark river, told me to kill him and eat his flesh. ”

Twilight was stunned, Yuan Xiu turned his head and asked with a smile, "Don't ask me if I've eaten?" ”

Twilight didn't ask, just looked at the man's clear eyes and affirmed, "You didn't eat." ”

"There are times when you get it wrong." Yuan Xiu suddenly smiled, and the smile was as comfortable as a galaxy, "I ate it." ”

Twilight's eyes were slightly gloomy, she would not be mistaken, she would never judge things by feelings, and she would not make conclusions because Yuan Xiu was a hero or a famous general or her impression of him these days, she said that he did not eat naturally had a basis. When he asked her about that, her pupils were normal, her hands were not clenched, her legs were not tucked, and her body movements were relaxed and there was no tension.

She remembered Yuan Xiu's demeanor when he heard the soldier's meat being cooked at the luncheon and in the kitchen, and that expression was by no means as relaxed as at this time, and relaxation meant that there was no psychological pressure, if he was indifferent to the events of the past, why should he borrow water to water his sorrows for today's affairs?

Twilight Qing frowned, she was a little puzzled, because Yuan Xiu just said that he ate it, and he didn't lie. His shoulders shook at the same time as he said this, it was honest body language, and if he lied, he would have been shaking one shoulder.

He had eaten human flesh, but he had no psychological burden on it...... Why?

Twilight's mind turned, and her eyes suddenly changed!

Just when her heart shook slightly, Yuan Xiu had already gotten up and reached out to untie her clothes!

The man was still wearing the ink-colored riding clothes, and the ink-colored clothes belt of the Pan Liwen pattern fell to the ground, and he saw that Yuan Xiu was not wearing a middle coat, the clothes and belts fell, the robe was wide open, and the wide-chested waist suddenly snatched the moonlight in the pavilion, and the heroic posture was like a shock. Huang Feng wore the robe through the pavilion, the robe fell to the ground, when Yuan Xiu walked out from behind the bluestone table, his upper body was naked, his legs were long, and he was not wearing a battle robe.

Twilight's gaze fell on the blue ink underneath the dirty pants, which couldn't hide a scar, the scar was a long time, but it was the size of two palms!

He used to cut meat for food...... It's your own flesh that is cut!

Twilight looked at the scar and didn't say a word for a long time, only to hear the bleak sound of the wind blowing through the pavilion.

I don't know how long it took, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, the footsteps were running, as if there was an emergency, before anyone arrived, the voice had already said: "General, find ......"

Before he finished speaking, the voice suddenly stopped, and the pro-soldier stood ten steps outside the general's pavilion, and suddenly covered his eyes and stepped back, "The last general, the last general didn't see anything!" I didn't see anything......"
