Chapter 121: What I Can Do
"Why don't you light a fire?"
"I'm afraid of luring General Jiang's people over."
"It's really brought in, we can continue to run, and we can continue to starve and freeze like this all the time?" Xie Xiaoman glared at him, marveling at his stupidity.
Xing Ge didn't speak, just glanced at Xie Xiaoman's chest.
On such a dark night, Xing Ge's glance naturally didn't mean anything erotic, but worried about Xie Xiaoman's injury.
Xie Xiaoman was slightly moved, and sighed: "I'm not a big deal, the injury is scary to look at, but in fact, the damage to my body is not big." You also said that I am a cultivator, where could I be killed by ordinary people so easily. ”
Xing Ge agreed sullenly, but he was very unconfident in agreeing.
Xie Xiaoman was a little angry this time, he just wanted to get angry, he took a breath and wanted to scold, but when his luck reached his chest, he felt extremely tingling, and he suffocated it halfway.
suppressed and didn't let the cough come out again, so Xie Xiaoman's face flushed red.
"That's it!" Xie Xiaoman calmed down his emotions, propped up the cold and hard ground, and staggered to his feet.
Xing Ge hurriedly went to help, but was stopped by Xie Xiaoman.
"It's right not to make a fire, anyway, we also changed our departure." Xie Xiaoman straightened up.
"Someone catching up?" Xing Ge was startled, and his muscles tightened.
"No," Xie Xiaoman shook his head, "I have to go back." ”
"Where are you going?"
"Go back and talk to Huan Wen."
Xing Ge expressed shock with the simplest expression.
"If I don't go back, the combined forces of Jin and Yan will come over tomorrow." Xie Xiaoman glanced at him. "How long do you think your General Jiang will be able to resist in Hukou Town?"
Xing Ge understood what Xie Xiaoman meant. He closed his mouth wide open in shock and gritted his teeth.
Xie Xiaoman chuckled and sighed: "People! It's complicated. I want this and that, but I don't know the truth of giving. There is a reluctance to gain, and there is no reluctance for the child to trap the wolf, how can the human heart be insufficient to swallow the elephant! ”
"Xie Niangzi has to do it. Isn't it just the matter of the white wolf with empty gloves? Xing Ge's voice was a little dull.
"yes!" Xie Xiaoman patted his chest gently, "So I have to exchange some blood!" ”
Xing Ge was slightly silent.
He thought about this for a day. Now I finally couldn't hold back anymore and asked: "When General Jiang's sword stabbed over, why didn't you hide, Xie Niangzi?" ”
When Xie Xiaoman heard this, he rolled his eyes widely: "I can't hide!" ”
"Huh?" Xing Ge was a little dazed.
Xie Xiaoman's eyes almost rolled to the sky: "You think I'm really a fairy!" I'm not at the end of the day. Who knew that he Jiang Beihai shot so fast! I didn't react until the sword was in my chest. There's no time to dodge! ”
Xing Ge opened his mouth stupidly.
Xie Xiaoman pursed his lips.
"That ......" Xing Ge's voice almost trembled, "When you first met Xia and Xie Niangzi, you stabbed it in the back......"
"That's right! It's also because I can't hide from it at all! Xie Xiaoman was a little angry, "I don't have eyes behind my back!" Who knew you would stab me in the back! ”
Xing Ge was almost stupid, and the three views were subverted fiercely: "However, at that time, Xie Niangzi, you didn't even blink your eyelids, and calmly made me think that it was ......."
"I thought I was taking a hit on purpose, but I just wanted to show you. I, a cultivator, have the ability to defy the heavens? Xie Xiaoman raised his eyebrows.
Xing Ge nodded hurriedly.
Xie Xiaoman picked his teeth with his tongue and said disdainfully: "Do you think what you think is what you think!" ”
Xing Ge was completely dizzy. I want to cry without tears.
Xie Xiaoman waved his hand: "It hurts to be stabbed, who is sick, and does this kind of thing in order to pretend to be cool." ”
Xing Ge blurted out: "Then you want to go back now?" ”
"If you don't go back, you can't do it." Xie Xiaoman restrained his cynical expression and said seriously, "Although war is the same as neighbor fighting, a slap can't be slapped. But if the two armies of Jin and Yan really shouted outside Hukou Town, it would inevitably lead to a dispute after all. Moreover, I'm afraid that Huan Wen will attack hard! How many people will die on both sides by then? ”
Xing Ge stopped talking.
"I'm not smart, I'm even a little stupid, so I can think of so few ways that it seems a little simple and crude. But I Xie Xiaoman believes that in many cases, a simple and crude method is the most direct and effective way! Xie Xiaoman stretched out his hand and gestured in mid-air, "Our physical education teacher said that between two points, the straight line is the shortest!" So when you run 400 meters, just stand where you are......"
Faced with the cold joke that he couldn't understand, Xing Ge blinked his eyes in a daze.
Xie Xiaoman rolled his eyes and expressed his displeasure: "Anyway, now I have decided like this!" Although my abilities are limited, my mind is limited. I think that if it were another traverser, he might be calling for wind and rain in the court and pacifying international disputes through diplomatic means! But I'm stupid, so I can only use this method, and I can only solve the problem in front of me little by little! ”
"Let Zhao State not send troops first, and then let the Jin and Yan armies stay in the nest honestly. I also know that this is not a good solution, but it is the only way I can think of it right now. Xie Xiaoman laughed at himself, "Actually, I also know that in this world, there are always some places where there are killings, wars, and dead people." If I use my stupid method, I won't be able to do it. However, I have a very narrow vision, and I can only see the crisis in front of me and can solve it...... Or what can't be solved, it's only the things in front of you. ”
"If I don't stop the success of this war, so that the two armies face each other, or the soldiers come to the city, and the blood will eventually be shed, I will not feel at ease."
"All I can handle is what's in front of me. Even, it may not be able to deal with it successfully, but you have to give it a try, right? ”
Xie Xiaoman laughed in the dark night, his eyes were like stars.
Xing Ge looked at her, only feeling that her thin body seemed to be carrying something heavy in the night. But it's still straight.
Xing Ge looked at her, and suddenly felt that her figure was so lonely, so he subconsciously. took a step closer in Xie Xiaoman's direction.
Want, support her.
"Xie Niangzi......" Xing Ge gritted his teeth, not feeling a good feeling in his heart, "You have to be mentally prepared, and then go back to the Jin army barracks, they will not treat you with the same attitude as before." ”
"Hmm. Know. Xie Xiaoman was thinking about his chances of winning Xue Zicheng, and thinking about what tricks he would use to clean her up if Xia Hua was waiting for him there.
Huan Wen said last time. If you see her again, you must fight to the death with yourself. Xi Chao had already wanted to get rid of himself. Even most of the soldiers of the Western Army were disgusted when they saw her.
Although it is not a betrayal of relatives, it is such a feeling of being isolated and hostile. It's not very comfortable......
Xie Xiaoman licked his slightly dry lips. looked at Xing Ge beside him, and thought to himself, fortunately, he was not alone.
Taking half a step forward, Xie Xiaoman stretched out his hands and hugged Xing Ge.
Xing Ge was completely stupid, his whole person was stiff like a corpse, he didn't dare to move, and he even stopped breathing.
"Thank you." Xie Xiaoman said softly. "Thank you for being with me."
Xing Ge's brain was buzzing, and his mouth moved twice. Not a single syllable was uttered.
"Speaking of which," Xie Xiaoman licked his lips, his eyes rolling wildly, "Do you have any painkillers or anything at this time?" The wound is so painful......"
……
……
This night, the night was dark and the wind was high.
Jiang Beihai didn't fall asleep either, he sat silently next to a few cases, with the corpse of General Song placed horizontally in front of him, holding a thin sheep's hair in his hand.
The ink on the sheep's hair has dried, but Jiang Beihai still hasn't put pen to paper. He was pondering questions such as what excuses should be used to explain General Song's violent death, what methods should be used to cover up the sword wounds on General Song's body, and some more complicated issues......
He thought of Xie Xiaoman, thought of the woman's pale but still proud face after being injured, and thought of what she had said, and his heart rippled slightly.
But it was so slight that the expression on his face didn't reflect it in the slightest.
Jiang Beihai thought about it slightly, listened to the north wind howling outside the window, re-dipped the pen in ink, and put down the pen neatly.
The pen fell silently, a military newspaper, and it was made in a moment.
Someone reported outside, Tai Ping, please see him, Jiang Beihai called someone in.
Tai Ping's complexion was very bad, as if he had aged ten years in one day, and the half-white hair on his head was now as if it was covered with snow, leaving only a white mist.
Jiang Beihai put down his pen and looked up at him.
Tai Ping looked at the corpse of General Song in the room and didn't speak for a long time.
Occasionally, there was a flash of fire outside, and it was a guard on night duty, walking by with torches in hand.
"The general has figured out how to report to the court?" Tai opened his mouth, and his voice was dull and muddy like he had never been.
Jiang Beihai looked at his eyes, his eyes were also cloudy, like an old man.
Perhaps, he is really old.
"The Yan army sent cultivators to assassinate, and I, Jiang Beihai, bear the responsibility of poor protection." Jiang Beihai's words were concise and to the point, "The assassin's surname is Xie Xiaoman, female, less than double ten, and it is recommended that the whole country pursue him." ”
In this way, the responsibility for General Song's death was pushed onto Xie Xiaoman.
Tai Ping's complexion is even worse, and his body is more rickety.
He didn't like this kind of desire to add sin, but he had to admit that it was indeed the best way to do it now.
"The rest of the Hukou Army naturally has nothing to worry about, but that Zhou Zhiyi ......" Tai Chang thought of something and reminded him.
"Xie Xiaoman has become a wanted criminal, since he can't be an officer of the Hukou Army. The responsibility of assisting the cultivator was left to him, so he had to bother Zhou Zhiyi to contribute temporarily. Jiang Beihai said it simply.
Zhou Zhiyi and General Song were originally the respective figures of the two factions in the party struggle in the imperial court, and choosing Zhou Zhiyi was choosing the faction of Lord Situ, such a posture was put out, and even if the other faction wanted to deal with Jiang Beihai, it would inevitably be tied.
Tai Ping looked at Jiang Beihai's indifferent face, and a chill gradually appeared in his heart. (To be continued......)
