Outside the five wolves

The sky in the north is extraordinarily high, and the clouds are layered but not oppressive, like a large flock of sheep on the grassland.

The wind blew the grass low, and two girls threw their whips and rode side by side.

A girl in a big red riding uniform raised her horsewhip and said angrily: "That Wei Wuxing is really annoying, relying on the merits of the conquest of Xijiang, he became a commander as soon as he came here, and he always treats us as delicate little girls, this is not allowed, that is not possible." Knowing that this is the case, it is not as good as General Han here. ”

The other girl had an apple face, was a little younger, and when she smiled, she showed her intoxicating dimples: "Sister Jiafu, why should you be angry, compared to ordinary women, it's good that we have a chance to come out." General Wei has only been here for a short time, and he will change his opinion of us like General Han did in the future. ”

The woman in red said stupidly: "The princess is good-tempered." ”

It turned out that these two people, the apple-faced one was the fifth princess Mianmian, and the other one in red was Xu Jiafu.

Since the eldest princess of Dezhao gave birth to a daughter more than two years ago, she has no energy to deal with others, and the fifth princess is officially out of school. coincided with the fierce war in the north, the five princesses took the initiative to ask for war, as an aunt and master, the eldest princess of Dezhao nodded, Emperor Changqing couldn't, so he had to agree to the request of the five princesses to go to the north.

When Miss Xu learned of this, she immediately used all the means of splashing and rolling, and she wanted to go to the north with the fifth princess to fight.

Lord Xu pondered that the daughters were all in their early twenties, and there was no sign of getting married after coming to the capital for several years, so it was better to go to the north to mingle. There are so many young soldiers in the Northland, maybe they will be abducted back by their daughters.

As soon as Lord Xu wrote the book, Emperor Changqing immediately approved it.

The old emperor is feeling sorry for his daughter to go to the north alone, and now he has company.

So the two girls followed the team that transported grain and grass to the north, and after more than two years, they really made a lot of fame in the army.

It's just that since General Han, also known as Wei Guogong, returned to the capital due to a recurrence of an old illness, and was succeeded by Wei Wuxing, a general who returned triumphantly from Bianxi, the life of the two in the army has changed somewhat.

The fifth princess is okay, the hot-tempered Xu Jiafu can't stand it for a long time, and has already quarreled with Wei Wuxing a few times, and he is really annoyed that he looks down on women, and always wants to protect them as delicate flowers.

After listening to Xu Jiafu's complaints, the fifth princess smiled and said: "I think that such a sky and a high sky are much more comfortable than in the capital, and General Wei doesn't dare to really care about us." You don't know, two days ago, she sent me a letter, saying that she was pregnant again, and she was like a prison in the palace, and she was very envious of the two of us. ”

When Xu Jiafu heard this, he pursed his lips and smiled: "That's right, no matter how good that man is, it won't be tasteful to accompany him into the palace to live." It's like if we can drink a lot of wine and eat meat, and our hearts are not happy, and we can raise a knife to chop a few enemies, or run on a horse, and we will be comfortable. ”

The military career has stained Xu Jiafu's delicate skin with a bit of frost, but that kind of vigorous energy comes from her bones, and when she laughs, she has a different style.

As they spoke, they had arrived at the camp, turned over and dismounted, and saw a tall and long-legged man waiting for them with his hands folded in front of his chest, with a dark face.

"Where did the princess and Miss Xu go? Now that the war is raging, it's not safe outsideβ€”"

Xu Jiafu snorted coldly: "We're just going out for a walk, and General Wei is too lenient." Princess, let's go! ”

Wei Wuxing stared at the backs of the two and shook his head helplessly.

Women are trouble, thinking about how happy it was when he and Brother Cheng joined forces to fight the enemy in Bianxi, and they had a tacit understanding.

I don't want to, Brother Cheng has now become the crown prince, but his lieutenants have been replaced by two big girls, which is really heartbreaking.

That night, Wei Wuxing ordered a team to attack the Northern Qi military camp at night as planned.

The team wrapped in soft cloth on the soles of their shoes was silent, but Xu Jiafu quietly opened his eyes.

She slipped out of the tent and into the tent of the five princesses.

Unexpectedly, the fifth princess did not fall asleep, but dressed neatly.

"The princess didn't sleep either? Did you also find out that Wei Wuxing was going to attack the enemy at night? ”

The fifth princess nodded.

"Hmph, dump us again." Xu Jiafu gritted his teeth, "Princess, let's go along." ”

The fifth princess shook her head: "General Wei asked me to guard the camp in case the enemy took advantage of it. ”

Xu Jiafu's eyes widened: "Why don't I know?" ”

The fifth princess looked innocent, but Wei Wuxing's words sounded in her ears: Miss Xu has a quick temper, and the camp will ask Her Royal Highness the princess.

"Sister Jiafu, go back, let's guard the camp, it's equally important."

Xu Jiafu stomped his feet, turned around and went out, and when he returned to the camp tent, the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, wrapped the whip around his waist, quietly summoned the personal guards and slipped out of the barracks.

The flames were in the sky, and under the cover of night, there was chaos all around, and only the cries of countless people could be heard.

Wei Wuxing waved his hand: "Withdraw!" ”

This sneak attack was successful, burning most of the grain and grass of the Northern Qi army, enough for them to drink a pot.

When he led his troops back to the camp, he saw that the camp was brightly lit, and the five princesses were dressed in military uniforms and holding blood-stained hammers in their hands.

Wei Wuxing was taken aback, and immediately greeted him: "What happened?" ”

"General Wei is like a god, and there are indeed enemy troops who come in at night, but fortunately, because of your prompt, we have been prepared and have wiped them out."

Wei Wuxing touched his nose and used the night to hide his embarrassment.

Is there really a sneak attack by enemy troops? It's also too coincidental that both sides have chosen to attack each other tonight.

Ahem, he originally made up a random reason to appease the two aunts.

"Hey, where's Miss Xu?"

In this situation, there is no reason for that aunt to lie in the tent and sleep soundly.

"I haven't seen her come out. It's just over here, and someone just sent to call her. ”

As the fifth princess was talking, the guards sent hurriedly ran over: "Your Highness, General Xu is not in the camp tent, and the personal guards under her command are gone!" ”

The fifth princess and Wei Wuxing looked at each other.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, how many enemy troops are there who are coming to sneak attack?"

"About forty or fifty."

Wei Wuxing's face changed greatly: "It's not good, the enemy can't just send these people, it must be that the enemy soldiers are divided into two ways, and one of them was bumped into by Miss Xu." Your Highness, you are in charge of the camp and I will take someone to meet her. ”

After Wei Wuxing finished speaking, he ordered a team of men and horses to leave the camp, and the soldiers chased in the direction where Xu Jiafu was most likely to leave.

The night sank like water, and even the starlight dimmed, Wei Wuxing hurried all the way, and with his outstanding combat experience, he gradually found the right way.

First, the smell of blood wafting in the wind, and then the corpses that had fallen to the ground were found, all dressed in night clothes.

The guards rummaged through the corpses and replied: "General, these corpses are both the Northern Qi army and our people. ”

Wei Wuxing's mood became heavier and heavier, and he waved his big hand: "Go!" ”

The further you go, the more corpses there are, and everything that catches your eye is a sign that a fierce battle has just taken place here not long ago.

Wei Wuxing took the torch and followed the traces forward, but was stopped by the guards: "General, the front is 'ghost sorrow'." ”

'Ghost Sorrow' is an extremely steep hillside, and even the best mountain people dare not go down.

Wei Wuxing stood at the top of the slope with a torch and saw a deerskin boot painted with a red rose.

Although he hadn't paid attention to Xu Jiafu's dress, he understood that the boots in front of him were women's.

"Give me the rope."

"Generalβ€”"

"Less nonsense!"

Wei Wuxing picked up the ropes he brought, wrapped one end around his waist, and handed the other end to the guard.

"General, let your subordinates go down, you can't risk your life!"

"Long-winded, which of you is better than me? Hold on to the rope well, don't let go halfway, then Lao Tzu is really broken. ”

Wei Wuxing tied the rope all the way down, during which he was in danger several times, and finally managed to avoid it with difficulty, but it was a pity that the rope had been exhausted by more than ten zhang, looking at the distance below, he gritted his teeth and untied the rope, and after several near-deaths, he finally landed on the ground.

"Miss Xu, Miss Xuβ€”" The loud voice resounded through the valley, and it was a creepy wolf howl that responded to him.

Wolves gather, that's the prey found?

Thinking of a possibility, Wei Wuxing immediately rushed in the direction where the wolf howl came from.

In the middle of the night, dozens of ghostly lights suddenly shot at him, and Wei Wuxing, who had already adapted to the darkness, saw more than a dozen wild wolves surrounding a tree one after another.

He subconsciously looked up and saw a dark shadow on the branch.

"Miss Xu, is that you?" Ignoring the disturbance of the wolves, Wei Wuxing shouted, drawing his knife as he shouted.

A faint voice came: "Yes...... It's ...... me."

Realizing the danger of coming, the wolves immediately abandoned the people nesting in the trees and turned to besiege Wei Wuxing.

Under the night, the sword light flickered, the ghost cried wolf, and as the wolf corpses piled up around, one finally bit Wei Wuxing's arm.

Wei Wuxing let out a muffled snort.

"You, are you alright?"

"Shut up!" Wei Wuxing cursed, cut off the wolf's head with his backhand, and by the time he had killed the wolves, he was already exhausted, leaning against the trunk of the tree and gasping for breath.

After relieving his breath, Wei Wuxing said coldly: "Grandma, do you want me to carry you down?" ”

After a long time, Xu Jiafu's weak voice came: "I don't dare-"

Wei Wuxing laughed angrily: "General Ben doesn't know, there are still things that Miss Xu doesn't dare!" Didn't you sneak out of the barracks, didn't you have the audacity? ”

"I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm afraid of wolvesβ€”" Xu Jiafu finally couldn't help crying.

Wei Wuxing was stunned.

As soon as the woman cried, he couldn't do anything.

After enduring and enduring, he roared: "Don't cry, the wolves have all been killed by me, if you don't roll down and bandage me, I will go to these wolves as companions!" ”

The crying paused, and then the sound of Suosuo sounded.

Xu Jiafu's steps were weak, and he carefully bypassed the wolf corpse to Wei Wuxing's side, and when he saw the deep wound on his arm, he let out a low cry and hurriedly lifted the hem of his clothes.

"What are you going to do?" Wei Wuxing turned his face away suddenly.

Thinking that ****, he won't be angry? Don't!

"It's clean inside, I'll tear it off and bandage your wounds." Xu Jiafu obviously felt guilty and changed his past pungency.

Wei Wuxing stopped talking, let her bandage her wounds, and then said, "What about the people you brought out?" ”

Xu Jiafu's face turned white, and he bit his lip and said, "It's all ...... He's dead. The Northern Qi army wanted to capture me alive, so I jumped off. ”

"You didn't die, it's really a blessing!" Wei Wuxing was furious.

Those guards are all good hands in the ten, and because of the willfulness of this aunt, they are all folded here.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong." Xu Jiafu finally collapsed, crying bitterly.

The corners of Wei Wuxing's lips tightened, and after listening to the meaning of the other party for a quarter of an hour, he saw that the other party had not stopped, and said fiercely: "Cry, I can't help it if I attract wolves again." ”

The crying suddenly stopped.

Wei Wuxing raised his eyebrows: "It turns out that Miss Xu is so afraid of wolves. ”

Although a dozen wolves are terrifying, this girl's temperament is not like she would cry like this.

Xu Jiafu was silent.

"Let's wait until dawn to find a way." Wei Wuxing said lightly.

The two leaned against the trunk of the tree, and neither spoke again for a moment.

The stars in the sky were all gone, and the valley could not even hear the sound of insects, only the strong smell of blood surrounded the two of them.

Xu Jiafu shrunk his shoulders.

Wei Wuxing frowned with a headache, took off his coat and threw it over.

Wrapped around his body with a man's unique breath and body temperature, a certain string in Xu Jiafu's heart broke instantly.

"I'm afraid of wolves, especially especially scared, as long as I see a wolf, I almost can't breathe." She spoke.

Wei Wuxing raised the corner of his eyes.

Xu Jiafu said to himself: "My father has always been an official in Lingnan, I grew up there since I was a child, and my courage is the same as that of the local girl. When I was thirteen, I fell in love with someone. It's a pity that he was too poor, and he was useless in the eyes of my parents except for his good looks, so I eloped with him. On the day of elopement, it was also such a night, and there were not even stars in the sky. ”

Wei Wuxing twitched the corners of his mouth.

Xu Jiafu has fallen into memories: "We ran and ran, ran out of a few mountains, and met wolves, so we climbed the trees together to hide. But the wolves began to scratch the trees with their claws. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Jiafu fell silent.

"And then?" Wei Wuxing finally couldn't help but ask.

"And thenβ€”" Xu Jiafu suddenly laughed, "and then my sweetheart pushed me down." ”

Wei Wuxing sat up straight all of a sudden, quietly looking at the woman who was talking.

A thirteen-year-old girl eloped with her sweetheart, but was pushed down a tree by her sweetheart to feed the wolf, this kind of cruelty, even he can't bear to think about it.

"Do you think I'm stupid and have such a bad eyesight?"

Wei Wuxing shook his head and asked, "What happened later?" ”

A little girl who is only thirteen years old, how much can she see people's hearts?

"Later, it was very simple, I used the dagger I carried with me to kill the wolves who wanted to eat me one by one, and finally left only one and climbed the tree again."

Xu Jiafu looked at Wei Wuxing, his eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky: "After I climbed the tree, I pushed him down, and watched with my own eyes that the wolf bit him to a bloody pulp." Unexpectedly, I began to be afraid of wolves. ”

She told her parents who found her that the man had taken her up the tree to protect her, but he had fed the wolves himself.

That was the last bit of self-esteem and pride at the age of thirteen.

From then on, she felt that men were something more terrible than wolves, and could only be used for play, not for love.

"Okay, don't talk about it, it's dawn, I'll take you out." Wei Wuxing reached out and patted her on the shoulder, and quickly retracted it.

The two of them walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and no one knew how long it would take to find a way out.

This time, Xu Jiafu was much more down-to-earth.

She tilted her head and asked, "I've heard that wolves also have many advantages, don't they?" ”

Wei Wuxing looked at her, and nodded lightly after a long time: "Hmm." (To be continued.) )
