Chapter Ninety-Nine: Evil Words
In "The Art of War", it is said: A soldier who surrenders without a fight is also a good man.
What Xie Xiaoman wants to do and is doing is such a thing.
She knew that this kind of idea was too extreme, too idealistic, and too romantic, but every time, when he looked at the faces of the so-called "enemy army" that were not far behind the Jin army, his heart would set off ripples.
Sometimes, Xie Xiaoman will also laugh at himself. On the one hand, she knows that war is inevitable, and even admires the heroes and stories created by war. But on the other hand, she will be born to cleanse out some sympathetic feelings from the depths of her soul, which may be hypocritical and artificial, but it is the real thoughts in her heart, which cannot be erased.
Xie Xiaoman will laugh at himself because of this kind of thing, he is an ordinary person, a complex of contradictions, and there is no solution.
Such a contradiction may follow her forever for the rest of her life, this is something that cannot be cut off, and she is not ready to give up.
It is with this mentality that she will choose to follow Huan Wen after the expedition, and will try to dissuade the two sides after the battle.
Fortunately, the general of the Zhao army on the opposite side was a smart man, and he knew the possible results of the trapped beast fighting, not to mention the ability of a monk.
He just accidentally discovered the scouts of the Yan army while leading his troops on patrol, and was ordered to do something to harass the border, and he didn't want to take the lives of too many of his subordinates.
If this is an account, then the cost of continuing is too high, and the benefit is really small, in short, it is not enough.
Loss-making business. Don't do it.
It's a pity that what is in front of you is not the business, what the numbers represent. It's human life.
Fortunately, the general of the Zhao army was a careful man, he slowly withdrew his troops, and when he left, he had to look at Xie Xiaoman a few more times.
Xie Xiaoman didn't mind, anyway, there were no flowers on her face, and she wouldn't grow flowers on her face if she was seen too much, so she stood there. Put on a posture of "just look" and say goodbye to each other with a smile.
General Zhao's face was a little bad, and he was thinking about something in his heart. Say. The first thing he did when he went back was to report today's events to Shangfeng as soon as possible. When did such a powerful monk come to the camp of the Yan army, and it was in this kind of border land of the Yan country, this matter. It's a little weird.
Could it be said. What big moves does Yan Jun want to make?
The generals of the Zhao army silently calculated, hugged their fists at Xie Xiaoman from afar, and left with a horse.
Xie Xiaoman didn't know the abacus in that person's heart, but there was a faint joy in his heart. She watched the other walk away, turned around, and smiled at her centurion, "Are you all right?" ”
"I didn't ...... It's okay. The centurion's mood was even more chaotic, and his expression was a little exciting, "Thank you...... My lord. Saving! ”
"It's just a matter of raising your hands." Xie Xiaoman shook his head, but he didn't take credit. "Your luck is not very good, only you have actually encountered the enemy in the rear team of 100 people in three ways. Why do you have to run to the south, don't you remember that this is the mouth of the Yangtze River, a dead end? ”
"Yes." The centurion smiled helplessly, looking a little pale, "But there is a Yan army moving in the north, and this is the only way." Although I know it's a dead end, but ......"
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountains. This is helpless, but at the same time, it is also magnificent.
Xie Xiaoman was in awe.
The centurion was a little embarrassed by Xie Xiaoman's gaze, rubbed his hands and laughed twice, and then beckoned to the brothers around him, and introduced: "Everyone, this is the new Counselor Xie in our army, you should have all heard of it." ”
"What? She's that little......"
The officers and men in the army are too upright, and as soon as they open their mouths, they will be in their hearts, so they will not be able to stop at the end. That's it, but I was kicked in the end, and I finally recognized the situation and stopped.
The person who just saved everyone's lives is called "little **", which is ...... It's so ugly.
The face of the person who spoke was burned red in an instant, like a cloud burned after a rain on the horizon. It's just that such an expression can be called "shy" when it appears on the little girl's face, and it can still make people think it is beautiful. But it appeared on the face of a strong man with a bearded face...... It's a little bit of a disobedience.
As for the others, they were even more embarrassed to death at this time, even if they had the heart to explain in the loop, they couldn't think of a word for a while, so everyone had to look at each other in embarrassment.
But these people can hide, and as a centurion, there is no way to pretend not to hear. He glared at the outspoken subordinate fiercely, greeted his immediate female relatives in his heart, and secretly glanced at Xie Xiaoman's expression, and hugged his fists in embarrassment: "Lord Xie, it is because there is no way to make his subordinates speak wildly, I ......"
"It doesn't matter." Xie Xiaoman shrugged his shoulders and smiled casually, "It's not the first time I've heard this kind of thing, I don't care." ”
Xie Xiaoman looked at the character who "spoke wildly" with a smile, and asked the centurion with a smile: "Listening to your words, it doesn't look like leading troops to fight, but like a scholar." ”
The centurion laughed dryly: "Where, I was just from a poor family and have studied for a few days." ”
Xie Xiaoman nodded and said no more on this matter. Now everyone is still just a lonely army, and the big thing now is to bring everyone to a safe place is the best policy.
After a few words with the centurion, the latter naturally recognized it very much, and gave the order, and everyone got on their horses and evacuated the place in turn.
After the centurion got on the horse, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly dismounted and asked, "Lord Xie, there are not enough horses now, so you should take this horse under your subordinates." ”
Xie Xiaoman smiled and shook his head: "No need, I still have some things to do." ”
Naturally, the centurion didn't dare to ask her what she was going to do, but he couldn't help but look at her suspiciously, thinking that it didn't seem safe for such a girl to wander alone on the mouth of the river covered with war clouds.
"This ......," the centurion hesitated, "Lord Xie, do you need to accompany you?" ”
"No," Xie Xiaoman smiled, "you can't keep up." ”
After saying that, Xie Xiaoman flicked his sleeves slightly and floated away.
The centurion's jaw dropped in shock.
It's one thing to see Xie Xiaoman coming in the wind, but really watching Xie Xiaoman rise into the air is another kind of shock.
Except for Xue Zicheng, before Xie Xiaoman's arrival, there were no other monks in Huan Wen's expedition to the west. And Xue Zicheng, like other cultivators in the army, generally does not show his ability in front of everyone unless necessary. As for the reasons for this, it is actually very complicated.
But Xie Xiaoman didn't know about these things. And, even if she does figure it out, she may not be able to execute it.
With her temperament, many things are still good to be spontaneous. Especially her current situation, she lives in the shadow of summer flowers every day, and she doesn't know how long she can live, she Xie Xiaoman is under such huge pressure, how can she let herself live unhappily again......
So she plays wantonly, she comes out when she wants to come out, she saves people if she wants to save people, and she can do whatever she wants.
She has already figured out some of Xia Hua's temperament, as long as it doesn't involve core things, she is too lazy to care about herself. What's more, Xia Hua seems to be focusing on the sowing of her faith now, and she doesn't seem to be able to control herself for a while.
As for what happened after that...... Every time he thought of this, Xie Xiaoman couldn't help but laugh. It's not even clear whether the world after this will exist of its own, so why care too much.
Leaving at will, Xie Xiaoman did not wander around, but secretly looked at Zhao Jun's marching route, lest the other party regret it, turn around again, and do something sneak attack.
The rest is naturally to observe whether there are other Zhao Jun in the vicinity, but after looking around, the answer is no.
For a while, Xie Xiaoman was a little bored.
She casually found a vacant place to stop, felt the damp breath around her, looked at the gentle reeds in front of her, and listened to the deep flowing water under her feet, feeling a little bored.
The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost.
There is such a scene in front of me, but there is no Yiren on the water side.
Suddenly, although it was only a small heartbeat, Xie Xiaoman really realized that he was homesick.
Which home are you thinking about? Is it the warmth of modernization after a thousand years, or the depth of Wuyi Lane south of the Yangtze River, or the slightly cramped small mansions in the narrow alleys of Jiankang City?
Xie Xiaoman thought of something, so he didn't stop or walk quickly in the direction of the main camp of the Chinese army.
She suddenly wanted to write a letter to her family, because she hadn't heard from Sister Xianglan, Xiaobai and Xu Zhefeng for a long time.
She wanted to go back to find Huan Wen's Hongyan Chuan and write a letter to Chu Qingfeng in Jiankang City to ask about the current situation.
In his mind, Xie Xiaoman began to subconsciously phrase words. As a result, a feeling of homesickness began to spread in her heart, which made her pace even faster.
On the other side, there was a strange atmosphere in the team of 100 people who were far away from the Yangtze River and Zhao Jun's fierce boundary.
This group of old men who usually shout five or six drinks, after just escaping from death, no one made any proposal to drink and carnival, and no one even cheered, just blindly looked at each other or was silent, and the eyes of the back and forth exchange revealed an indescribable complexity.
"What the fuck, all of them are like pussies!" The centurion was deeply immersed in this atmosphere and felt very unhappy, "You guys, you guys are really useless!" What about being saved by a woman? How can I say that I survived the death, why did I give birth to one by one like a dead father, frosted eggplant, who to show it! ”
"Boss, that's not the case......" Shi Chang next to him interjected, smiling a little ugly, "Actually, it's just a little ...... in my heart That, I can't accept it. ”
"Bastard!" The centurion scolded again, this time, he was really angry, "When I went to visit the kiln, why didn't Lao Tzu see that you couldn't accept anything?" Where the fuck is the life-saver, I don't want to admit it anymore! Don't have a face! (To be continued......)
