Relying on these fresh water and river freshness, as well as the pheasants and hares encountered from time to time on the road, although the army became more and more tattered, it finally did not lose its combat strength. Along the way, the originally desolate place has become a lively place where chickens and dogs are jumping, there are not many pheasants and hares, they have all been caught, and now the main source of food for these people is voles and some grass seeds in the rat holes.

What the hell is this place? When will I see the crowds? What about the steppes of Northern Hungary? Where exactly have we been? If this continues, will I, the elite soldiers, become rat catchers? Kira, did you know the news that I disappeared deep into the desert? You must be worried, right? It's all my fault, alas! When will I be able to see you again?

Xiao Jiangbei was in an upset mood, and the deputy general next to him handed him water, but he pushed it away: there is not much fresh water, and they have never encountered water sources such as rivers and streams along the way, so they must save and drink, otherwise no one knows if they will be buried in this barren land when they leave the Great Ghost Desert.

There was a sudden agitation from the team catching rats not far away, and the deputy general raised his head, and suddenly there was a burst of excitement on his face, and he grabbed Xiao Jiangbei's shoulder and shouted: "General...... Look, you see there in the south, there seems to be smoke from the cooking, and oh my God, General, we finally see the people. ”

"Good!"

Xiao Jiangbei shouted excitedly, stood up and patted the dark clouds beside him, in the big ghost desert, in the end, they had no choice but to kill dozens of horses, fortunately, the loss was not too big, and there were hundreds of cavalry, plus nearly a thousand infantry, it was enough to sneak attack a tribe by surprise. After all, the combat effectiveness of this hundred refining elite soldiers has always been maintained.

"All the soldiers obey the order." With Xiao Jiangbei's order, the soldiers who were cheering because they saw the smoke in the distance suddenly fell silent, and quickly lined up in silence. Most of them still carried voles that had been strangled to death, and this was the last dinner before the battle, and it could not be wasted.

Xiao Jiangbei looked at the neat team with satisfaction, and said loudly: "Now bury the pot to make rice, and then march quickly, and the next meal, we will go to that tribe to eat." ”

"Order!"

The uniform sound shattered the sky. Then the soldiers quickly piled up the dead rats, in fact, there was no pot for a long time, and the so-called burying the pot to make rice was just an abstract statement. These voles are roasted and eaten. In order to avoid being discovered by the people of the distant tribes, everyone did not dare to use the fire for too long, and one by one the voles were skinned and roasted half-baked. After that the cavalry mounted their horses. The infantry sorted out their armor and carried heavy loads, and the team of only more than 1,000 people, after the whole army was ready to go, actually had an iron-blooded momentum like a hundred battles.

"Let's go."

Xiao Jiangbei sat on the big black horse, the slaughtering sword in his hand was raised high, and when the words fell, he rushed out first, and the cavalry and infantry behind him followed closely. Towards the steppe tribes in the distance.

**********************

"Sister Xinghua, why didn't Mrs. call you over these days?"

Entering October. The weather was getting colder and colder, and there were scattered light snow falling on this day. Since the news of Xiao Jiangbei's death in battle came, Gu Qiluo's whole person has been much lower, and he has no energy until now. Xinghua and Chunyu were afraid that she wouldn't be able to see it, and they didn't dare to leave an inch, at this time, the two of them sat on the smoke cage and talked freely, not far away Gu Qiluo was half-lying on the couch, holding a book in his hand, but he didn't turn a page for half a day.

"Isn't it good not to look for me? Do you like the past very much? Every time it's a rambling thing, and I don't know what she's going to do. Xinghua said angrily. This is what she is most worried about: Mrs. Lu is uneasy and kind, and often comes to her to gossip in the past, even if she is really loyal to the girl, in the long run, will the girl still dare to trust her? Not to mention that she is not a qualified girl like Chunyu, if the eldest girl remembers her selfishness in the past, I am afraid that she will doubt her even more.

This is Mrs. Lu's method of killing people without seeing blood, which makes Xinghua speechless. You can't ask your wife what you're looking for? You told her that she didn't do anything, so she gossiped. Compare her heart to her heart, if she is a girl, and the girl around her responds like this, she will not believe that the other party is still loyal: gossip? Who can't gossip? Do I have to look for you?

Fortunately, Gu Qiluo never asked Xinghua, which once made Xinghua very grateful, but soon, she became panicked again, and the reason why the eldest girl didn't ask me was because she had already begun to doubt me in her heart? So at this time, you don't want to startle the snake, but only pretend to trust me, and wait until the future to use me to make a counter-plot?

With such gains and losses, you can imagine how tormented Xinghua has been these days. Several times she wanted to find Gu Qiluo to talk about it, but after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't know how to say it, could it be that she said: "Girl, Mrs. is sowing discord, you must not be fooled by her, I am loyal to you." "Isn't that getting darker and darker?

Xinghua also understands in her heart that Mrs. Lu treats herself like this, Bacheng is still a thief, and wants to help her daughter seek the position of the second young grandmother of Xiao Mansion, but she doesn't know what other means she has, this kind of paranoia simply surprises Xinghua: Obviously, Mrs. Lu is usually very shrewd, but now it seems that she has lost her heart and gone crazy, ignoring that Master Gu no longer trusts her, and no matter whether Xiao Jiangbei and Gu Qiluo are in love, it is difficult for others to replace Gu Qiluo. Greed is terrible and can turn a good smart person into a moth to a fire.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jiangbei died in an accident, although she also sighed and was shocked, but in this way, she could finally be relieved, without Xiao Jiangbei, there was no need for his wife to use her own ideas. Now I'm afraid that the girl is already suspicious, it's just that the girl is not that suspicious and unreasonable, it's a big deal to slowly untie her knot in the future.

"Sister Xinghua...... Sister Xinghua ......"

Xinghua accidentally went out of her mind, until Chunyu shook her hand a few times in front of her eyes, and then she came back to her senses, and heard the little girl mutter: "I know my sister has an idea, but you must be careful, Mrs. is a jackal, you follow her, even if she is good to you, she will not end well in the future, you just look at how many hurtful things she has done." ”

Xinghua smiled wordlessly, and secretly hoped that the girl could understand, and now even Chunyu is such a simple-minded person, she began to doubt herself, if Mrs. played a few more times, she really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it.

Thinking like this, he wanted to defend a few words, but when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, Chunyu was stunned and wondered: "Who is this?" Why is it so urgent? What else do you need to inform us of now? "Since Xiao Jiangbei's death, Gu Qiluo is heartbroken and sad, where does he still have the heart to fight with Mrs. Lu? Because Gu Mingyang took pity on her for such a sad thing, he let her recuperate, and the housekeeper power naturally returned to Mrs. Lu's hands.

Xinghua went down to the ground and opened the door, and saw Gu Lanxuan hurriedly walking in, and when she saw Gu Qiluo on the couch, she hurriedly walked over and said: "Big sister, today my aunt and I went to the Buddhist temple to offer incense, and I know that the rumors on the street have risen again, and those bad villains say that you are Kefu's life, and even the invincible young god of war has died......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Chunyu shout angrily: "Is there really such a thing without a conscience? In order to protect the family and the country, the second son even lost his life, they didn't say thanksgiving, and now they came to slander the girl, this is ...... This is too unconscionable. ”

Gu Lanxuan hurriedly said, "What's the use of us talking about this?" The key is that rumors are spreading, I am only worried that in this way, no one will dare to propose to the big sister, will the big sister be harmed by this rumor for the rest of her life? So I have to think of a countermeasure. ”

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Gu Qiluo, and said anxiously: "I have discussed it with my aunt, why don't you let the Peach Blossom Class arrange a new play......

Without waiting to finish speaking, he heard Gu Qiluo say lightly: "Isn't it just my Kefu?" Let them pass it on. Anyway, I have been from Xiao Jiangbei all my life, and I originally thought that after a while, when the relationship between my grandmother and father calmed down, I would comb Mingzhi by myself, and they passed on like this, which saved me trouble. ”

"What? Big sister, don't ......" Gu Lanxuan gasped, and hurriedly wanted to dissuade her, but saw Gu Qiluo looking at her seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Second sister, once the sea was difficult to water, do you think there can be a second Xiao Jiangbei in this world?" ”

Gu Lanxuan was speechless, and when she saw Gu Qiluo half-lying back on the couch, she didn't know what to say, but the sentence "once the sea was difficult to water" made her completely understand the big sister's thoughts: Yes, she used to have such a man who loved her, protected her and respected her, and now that the man is dead, how can there be a man in this world who can enter the eyes of the big sister?

Since my sister said so, my sister didn't say anything. Alas! God is really ruthless, such a good wishful marriage, it is just difficult to experience a little torture, how can you bear to let your pair of lovers be separated forever? Sure enough, in this world, nine times out of ten, those who are unsatisfactory are just the big sister, which is too bumpy. ”

Gu Lanxuan sighed, but saw Gu Qiluo Qiang cheer up and said, "Sister doesn't have to worry about me. He's gone, but life has to go. I understand this, I'm just in pain for a while, so it will take a while to heal. After she finished speaking, she looked at Xinghua Chunyu, shook her head and said indifferently: "You two don't have to follow me every step of the way, I won't look for a short time, I have to see the scenery of the world for him, understand the world, until one day I also die of old age, but I will meet on the bridge, and then tell him these experiences in detail." ”

Gu Lanxuan's eyes widened, she felt that Gu Qiluo was really crazy, and was about to persuade two more words, when she heard Gu Qiluo smile bitterly: "Second sister, don't worry, I'm not crazy, and I'm not demented." Ask what the world is like, and teach people to live and die. If you can have such a relationship in the future, you will understand my mind at this moment. (To be continued......)
