Twenty-nine. Lock horns
Before it was handed over, the gongs and drums outside the tent couldn't wait to be higher than a while.
After Qin Nanxi finished explaining to Xiao Fei, he looked up at the outside of the tent, frowning and sighing helplessly: "That's it, under the eaves of people, you have to bow your head, you can go with me to see what kind of ghost wrestling competition they have!" ”
Xiao Fei nodded like pounding garlic, his face was full of yearning, and he craned his neck to look outside.
Outside the tent, the dark and heavy canopy of the sky seemed to be a newly opened ink ingot, and the snow had stopped, but the wind was stronger, and bursts of snow particles were sandwiched, and the swords and axes struck them, hitting the frozen cloak with a dense sound.
Qin Nan tightened the cloak on his body and led Xiaofei all the way to the lively school field.
From a distance, I saw that the torches tied to the pillars around the school yard were burning, illuminating the square and flat field as bright as day. In the middle of the school field was a makeshift wooden ring, on which two burly soldiers twisted together, and the battle was in full swing. In the open space on the east and west sides of the school field, thousands of soldiers sat in dense rows, each staring at the two competing on the stage with nervous and excited faces. On the general platform of the head of the north, a few cases were simply set up, and several generals with higher ranks sat behind the cases casually, and they also looked excited, but the main table in the center was empty, and Situ Yi was not seen.
Qin Nanxi stood in the corner, surrounded by the huge and endless cheering noises, and was unable to advance or retreat, but heard a familiar voice behind him.
"You're here?" It was Situ Yi, who suddenly appeared behind him as if he had come out of the soil.
Qin Nanxi secretly gritted his teeth, hurriedly put on a gentle and lovely smile, turned back to meet Situ Yi and bowed, "The general is invited, Su Jiu is respectful, it is better to obey." ”
"Heh, so outside? It's cold here, especially at night, so you don't have to force it if you can't stand it. Before the words fell, Situ Yiren had already leaned in front of him, raised his hand and pulled the cloak on Qin Nanxi's shoulder, and naturally gathered it for her.
"No, you might as well. I can still stand it" Qin Nanxi's face was full of panic, he grabbed the edge of the cloak in his hand, snatched back the part he was holding shallowly, and took a step back in a panic, away from him.
Situ Yi didn't care, turned to Xiaofei, and asked with a smile, "Did you really decide to let her go?" She's sold you. ”
"She is a hard-working person, and she was also coerced by thieves, so she had no choice but to do so. I begged the general to spare her in my face. Qin Nanxi said, and made a dignified gesture.
"Okay, you say let her go. I said it earlier, it's up to you. Situ Yi looked indifferent, holding his right hand, leaning forward with his left hand, half-sideways forward, leading Qin Nanxi and the two to board the platform from behind.
The soldiers in the audience burst into a roar like a boiling pot.
As soon as Qin Nanxi looked up, he saw that there was only a strong soldier left in the wooden ring opposite. This winner was standing proudly opposite at this time, looking defiantly at Situ Yi, who had not yet sat down on the stage.
The commotion in the audience was higher and higher, but Situ Yi turned a deaf ear. He calmly settled down and sat down. It wasn't until she sat down that he got up, put up his hands, and slowly approached the edge of the stage step by step, raising his chin slightly, just facing the provocation from the ring.
The big man in the ring touched Situ Yi's gaze, his expression was suddenly stunned, and his body suddenly became short and he knelt on one knee on the stage and made a big salute, but the head was still high, and the two burning eyes were also full of more fiery disbelief, although he couldn't help but be afraid of Situ Yi, the commander of the Northern Army, but he still tried his best to challenge him.
"Do you really want to challenge?" Situ Yi opened his mouth lightly, and the roars like boiling pots around him fell silent for a moment.
"Yes!" The answer in the ring was yes.
"Okay, old rule, if you can win me, you will be promoted by two levels." Before Situ Yi's words fell, the person had already jumped off the platform.
"Wow~"...."Wow~Wow~" Xiao Fei exclaimed in amazement for the first time, and the second sound followed up by three points higher.
Qin Nanxi also half-opened his mouth, looking at Situ Yi, who had already jumped into the ring.
In the ring, his black brocade robe flashed with a ghostly light, as if he was a cheetah under the moon, light and vigorous.
"General Ta Yan, it's really worthy of his reputation!" Xiao Fei leaned behind Qin Nanxi, staring intently at the fierce battle in the ring, and exclaimed.
Qin Nan was stunned, his eyes fluttering closely with the flickering black light in the ring.
"Hey, you seem to be familiar with this General Situ?" Xiao Fei's eyes were glued to the ring, and he didn't forget to sniff and come over to inquire.
Qin Nanxi listened to the question, came back to his senses, frowned slightly, turned his head to stare at Xiao Feidao, "How can you see it?" ”
"Hey, how can you see that? Unfamiliar with him will risk being alone to save you? Are you really that Uda a soft persimmon? Also, if he doesn't know you well, will he take you into the camp with confidence? Xiao Fei turned his face back and said with a smug face, and his eyes glanced at the ring reluctantly from time to time.
"I've met him a few times before." Qin Nanxi was a little embarrassed and blushed slightly.
"Seen? Can I take such a big risk to save you only if I have only seen it? Xiao Fei held his hands around, smiling ill-intentionedly, seeing that Qin Nanxi blushed and avoided it, he simply played like a fool and didn't let go, "But you don't seem to have a good impression of other generals, poor generals are sincere to you!" ”
"He almost cut you, and you spoke for him?" Qin Nanxi detoured over, smiling and looking at Xiaofei.
"If he really wanted to cut me, he would have cut me a long time ago, so why bother to hand me over to you, he knows that you can't do it. And he won't kill me, and he will give you the name of benevolence, hehe, he's really a good person. Xiao Fei was amazed, and his eyes fell to the ring again.
"Rende? If you don't kill a thief, is it benevolence? He is in a high position, but he can't be cautious of himself, but he does things according to his own good, orders are not done, and prohibitions are not stopped, this is clearly for the official to be stupid, in his position and not for his own government, what small country enforces the law like a mountain, but it is just a means to sell fame and reputation. Qin Nan said a bunch of words, and the deliberate coldness at the center of her eyebrows couldn't cover up her weak words.
"Ha, ha" Xiao Fei laughed dryly twice, shaking his head to show that he didn't understand her macro argument.
Qin Nanxi said hatefully: "Okay, if you don't finish the errand for me, I will let the benevolence of your great general be in my hands." Since he has said that it is up to me to decide, it will depend on whether I can fulfill his benevolence. ”
"Miss, my good Miss Su, don't be annoyed, I said the wrong thing. You are my savior, and I will do your errand beautifully. I'll go now, and I'll go right away. Xiao Fei was nervous, and he didn't care about snorting, and he had two shiny snots on his lips, rubbing against Qin Nanxi's legs and begging.
"Hmph, it's good to know. Whether you can survive or not depends on Miss Ben's mood, not Situ Yi's benevolence. Qin Nanxi felt a little more relieved, and couldn't help but be proud.
Xiao Fei muttered in a low voice in his throat, "If I'm not afraid of him, why am I afraid of you yellow-haired girl." After that, he looked up at Qin Nanxi nervously, but saw that she was frowning and thinking about something carefully.
"If you want to leave the camp to do something for me, Situ Yi's people will ask you where you are going, how do you answer?"
The little plane spirit, with a light in his eyes, already understood that this was Qin Nanxi deliberately trying to conceal Situ Yi: "This is easy to say, Miss said, you have made an agreement with me and ordered me not to harm anyone again, but you don't worry about letting me leave Northern Xinjiang, and you want to summon me to meet at any time." In a few days, when I find out something, Mademoiselle will send the big-headed ghost to summon me, so that I can bring the news in person. ”
Qin Nanxi hesitated for a moment and nodded, his mind was much clearer, and he joked to Xiao Fei: "What kind of ghost is the big head?" Where am I going to find this big-headed ghost you mentioned? ”
Xiao Fei just wanted to speak, but his gaze over Qin Nanxi's shoulder suddenly certain, and he muttered in a low voice, "What an evil place, say Cao Cao Cao has arrived!" ”
Qin Nanxi turned around in response, but saw Situ Yi coming head-on.
"Situ Yi? Is it a big-headed ghost? Qin Nan's face was full of flowers.
"What's the matter, I'm so happy you won!" Situ Yi didn't know what to do, and his face was surprised.
Qin Nan bit the tip of his tongue, tried his best not to laugh, shook his head at Situ Yi, who was full of happiness, and nodded again when he felt that something was wrong.
"No, it's not, you're mistaken! It's the one in the back! Seeing Qin Nanxi's faintly shaking shoulders and ill-intentioned face, Xiao Fei didn't care much, and clarified loudly.
Situ Yi looked inexplicable, and just as he was about to speak, a fox fur suddenly flew up behind him and covered his shoulder. It turned out that he was still followed by Mordan.
"Big brother, you are still sweating profusely, you are so anxious that you have to go to this most windy high platform, beware of the flashing wind, Ming'er will not be able to get up when she lies down." Mo Dan's voice was rough and atmospheric, but the concern in his eyes was delicate and real.
Qin Nanxi and Xiaofei looked stunned, looking at the delicate "big-headed ghost" incredibly.
Situ Yi lowered his head and didn't pay attention, only tied the big hat while saying with a smile, "Where is it so thin, when did you see me lying down?" ”
"Then you have to be careful, big brother, if you have any uneasiness, I can't explain it." Mo Dan stood in the backlight, his huge figure completely covering the tall, thin and athletic Situ Yi.
"It's him! It's very vivid. Qin Nanxi covered her mouth and laughed low to Xiao Fei.
Little Feipi pulled the corners of his mouth with a smile.
"What do you mean so happy?" Situ Yi was very interested in the laughter of the two.
Xiao Fei was stunned, collected his chin, and quickly said, "General, the sweat on your forehead hasn't been wiped yet!" ”
Qin Nanxi looked up at Situ Yi at this time, behind him, the torch in the corner of the stage was burning, and the fire on his head jumped and jumped with the cheers of the audience, and the strings of sweat hanging on the edge of Situ Yi's hairline then conjured up a bright and dark golden light, as if a handful of scattered stars were scattered on his angular forehead and nose.
Qin Nanxi looked at it, pursed his lips and smiled, Situ Yi was embarrassed to get up, and raised the back of his hand to wipe it all over the place.
"Your hand," Qin Nanxi stared at a bright red blood mark on the back of Situ Yi's hand, and exclaimed.
Situ Yi looked at it with his backhand, and said indifferently, "I don't know how to get hurt, it's okay, it's a little flesh injury." As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and wiped the back of his hand.
The wound was still fresh, and after being rubbed by the snow like this, the originally frozen blood stains suddenly came to life, and a thin stream of blood came out again, Situ Yi saw it, and leaned down to catch the snow.
"Hey, how can this work, wrap it in a handkerchief first, and quickly send the medical officer in the camp to stop the bleeding." Qin Nanxi grabbed him and handed him the Sujuan Pa he had just taken out.
Situ Yi's eyes lit up, the corners of his lips immediately hooked deeply, he got up and took the handkerchief in Qin Nanxi's hand and put it on his hand, and said "Thank you"
"The general is polite." Qin Nanxi let go of the corner of his clothes that he was pulling in his hand and retreated to Xiao Fei's side.
"Heh, hehe, this is in front of thousands of soldiers, and the general doesn't have to be like this, so polite." Xiao Fei didn't dare to be too reckless, and in the words he said, he replaced the phrase "children's affection" with "politeness" that was full of mouths.
Situ Yi smiled awkwardly, turned around and was about to give orders to Mo Dan, when he saw a soldier holding a small object in his hand, hunched over and flying to the front to report, "General, Chang'an six hundred miles urgent." ”
