Chapter 101: The Kindness of a Woman
Huan Wen stretched out his hand to open the heavy curtain of the tent.
The tent curtains in autumn and winter are sewn with heavy cotton, and even if you just put it there and look at it, it has enough texture.
When Huan Wen lifted the curtain, his pace was extremely fast, causing a disturbance of dirt on the ground, which rose on the surface.
It's still afternoon, but the sun is about to set, and the afterglow is more dazzling than usual. Especially when rushing into the tent like this, it will make people subconsciously squint.
Such a halo shone behind Huan Wen, outlining the form of the curtain being lifted, and also outlining the cold and hard iron armor with a metallic luster.
The face is indistinct, but the shape and voice are familiar enough. So Xie Xiaoman didn't get up, just squinted his eyes, looked at the extremely angular and resolute chin opposite, and thought to himself that this person seemed to be very reluctant to wear a helmet, and he had never seen him wear it.
As for the sentence he just asked...... Xie Xiaoman was slightly puzzled, thinking that he had done a lot of things since he was a child, which one did you ask?
She began to recall, but did not answer.
Huan Wen's frowning brows could not be cast into Xie Xiaoman's gaze because of the backlight. But his voice had already revealed a lot of emotion, it was a suppressed anger, which seemed to be somewhat serious.
Xie Xiaoman thought about it for a while, and felt that stealing two pieces of Hongyan paper would not seem to make this general of the expedition to the west so angry. So, what is the reason exactly?
Xie Xiaoman looked at the well-lit place and blinked.
The curtain was loosened. It fell down with a muffled thud.
Heavy riding boots make the sound of strides, and the rhythm is somewhat tight. It represents the anger of the owner.
"Answer my words!"
Soon, the sound changed to coming from overhead.
Xie Xiaoman raised his head, trying to adapt his gaze to the dim environment, so he blinked again.
She didn't like this kind of questioning attitude, so when she spoke, her tone was not deliberately restrained.
"I've done a lot of things, which one are you asking?"
There was a sneer over his head. The sneering voice. With a slight sense of surprise and contempt.
"Xie Xiaoman, I don't care what you usually do, and I don't bother to pay attention to it! Why are you on the front line today? Why did you attract the attention of their Zhao Jun? Huan Wen's expression gradually became clear in the dim and uncertain light. Xie Xiaoman could see his cold expression, as well as his eyes full of questioning and hostility as if he were looking at an enemy.
So Xie Xiaoman also frowned, part of the reason. It's because she understands what Huan Wen is referring to.
"Human life is in front of me. How can I ignore it? ”
"Huh! What a righteous awe-inspiring one! Huan Wen sneered, and his tone was even colder, "You are a woman's kindness!" ”
Xie Xiaoman was also angry, and took the case: "Is there something wrong with you?" What does it have to do with you when I save people? Besides, the ones I saved are all your sergeants, you should be happy, just don't thank me, and question me like this at this time. What does that mean exactly? What if I am the mercy of a woman? My ability is limited, and I can only save these people. I see it. I wanted to save it, so I did. What about you? ”
After that, Xie Xiaoman stopped talking nonsense with him, bypassed the bookcase in front of him, and left with his sleeves.
"So I want to go!" Huan Wen was even more angry, and reached out to grab Xie Xiaoman's arm, "If you want to save it, you can save it, you have become Guanyin Bodhisattva?" How many people have you saved? A hundred? Do you know that just because of your previous actions, there may be hundreds of people, no! Thousands, tens of thousands, of people may die as a result! It's also very likely that our whole plan will fall through because of your little kindness! Tell me about it! Are you a woman's kindness? ”
Xie Xiaoman's right arm was scratched painfully, and when he listened to Huan Wen's words, his heart couldn't help but tremble, and he stopped: "What do you mean?" ”
Huan Wen sneered and withdrew his hand, hugged his arm and looked at her: "Don't you understand?" Do you think fighting a war is such a simple thing? Is everything that Yan Jun and I have arranged just child's play in your opinion? The guest asked me to drive you away before, and I always wanted to keep you in my heart. Because I thought you and I were the same kind of people, and we both had some thoughts and expectations in our hearts. But now...... Hey! I'm so stupid too! You are a woman, short-sighted, with long hair and short knowledge, what else can I hope for......"
Xie Xiaoman frowned when he heard this, and reprimanded: "If you want to say it, just talk about yourself, don't have anything to do with the entire crowd." My own problems are my own, what does it have to do with other women? ”
"Huh!" Huan Wen sneered contemptuously, and looked at Xie Xiaoman's gaze even colder.
"Laugh ass! If you want to say it, make it clear! Tell someone to play dumb riddles! Xie Xiaoman also looked at him coldly, "What do you mean by what you just said?" I saved those people, what the hell happened? ”
"What's wrong? Are you really stupid or fake? Huan Wen narrowed his eyes, and every cell in his body seemed to be expressing the two big words "stupid".
Xie Xiaoman was really angry this time, he shook his hand and turned around and left, without looking back: "He talks like a girl!" Dare to say that women have long hair and short knowledge? If you have a fart, forget it! I'm going to ask someone! ”
"Thank you, sir! What's going on! Li Chuanchuan had already heard the quarrel inside, he had never seen General Huan make such a big fire for many years, and at this time, he was frightened, Xie Xiaoman rushed out like a gust of wind.
Li Chuanchuan was taken aback and hurriedly asked.
"What's your name, Lord Xie? From now on, you Xie Xiaoman Mo will stay in my camp for another day! If I see you again......" Huan Wen's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he pulled out his sword from his waist with his backhand, threw it violently, and plunged it into the earth.
"If I see you again, no matter how strong your cultivation is, I Huan Wen will not be forced to fight you to the death!" Huan Wen said it word by word, clearly.
Xie Xiaoman looked at him, looked at the sharp sword in front of him, and thought, this girl is really sick!
So he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled coldly.
"Always with you!" Xie Xiaoman spoke very slowly, and turned around and left without dragging his feet.
As soon as he took two steps, Xi Chao came from afar, and happened to see the previous scene, at this time, he looked at Xie Xiaoman who was gradually approaching with an embarrassed face, but he didn't know what to say.
Xie Xiaoman didn't bother to say much, arched his hand at him, and passed by.
Xi Chao turned to look at her distant back, obviously walking towards his tent, preparing to pack up his things and leave. Xi Chao only felt helpless, and he didn't know what to do at this moment. Seeing Xie Xiaoman leave, this is something he is happy to see and even has been thinking about it. But Xie Xiaoman is just a girl after all, and she is her benefactor, seeing her so emotional, after all, her heart is complicated, and she finally sighs.
When he went to see Huan Wen again, he had already walked back to his big tent. Only the sword was still there, shimmering in the sunlight.
"Lord Xi, this ......" Li Chuanchuan looked at Xi Chao in confusion, didn't dare to speak loudly, lowered his voice and looked at him confused.
Xi Chao shook his head and smiled: "It's just some small things, don't worry about it." After that, he pointed to the sword next to him, "This one will have to ask you to contribute." ”
"It should be! You're welcome! Li Chuanchuan naturally responded and hurriedly drew his sword.
Huan Wen used a lot of strength when he threw the sword, and at this time, Li Chuanchuan went to pull it out, and it took a while of effort to pull out the entire sword body from the ground, and respectfully handed it to Xi Chao's hand.
"Thank you." Xi Chao smiled gently, "You are a person who understands the rules, so don't say much about what happened before." ”
"Yes! The little one understands! Li Chuanchuan hurriedly responded, but the doubts in his heart did not decrease.
When the two were arguing in the tent before, he heard some words sporadically, about "saving people" and "Zhao Jun", vague, Li Chuanchuan naturally sketched something in his heart.
But after all, he heard too little, and besides, he has been in the army for a long time, so he understands the affairs of the army, so naturally he will not ask more questions.
It's just that I can't help but have some doubts in my heart, and I am a little confused at the same time. Could it be that Lord Xie is really going to leave like this? In the end, what happened to make General Huan so angry......
On the other end, Xi Chao approached the tent with Huan Wen's sword in his hand, and watched Huan Wen, who was still angry, walking around in the tent without stopping, and didn't say much for a while.
Huan Wen glanced at him, wandered to himself, and asked after a while, "What about General Murong?" Why hasn't he come yet? ”
"General Huan, what the hell is going on, so anxious?" Said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, at this time Murong Ke opened the curtain and entered, untied his cloak and handed it to the entourage next to him, "On the way I came, I saw Lord Xie of your army. Why is it also a puffy look? I asked, saying I wanted to leave? What's going on? ”
Huan Wen only raised his eyes and looked at him without looking up, and then looked at the entourage beside him.
"You stand down first, and I'll call you later." Murong Ke realized the seriousness of the problem, walked away, and took a few steps forward, only to find that Huan Wen's sword was being held in Xi Chao's hand, and for a while he couldn't help but guess something in connection with the scene he had seen before, and squinted his eyes slightly, "Exposed?" How serious is it? ”
"General Murong is really a talent! Guess and break! Xi Chao saw that Huan Wen was still angry, and he was afraid that he didn't like to talk. At this time, he smiled bitterly and replied, "One of our battalions was attacked before, and some people were left behind. Thank...... Master Xie, she doesn't know what we think, so she went to save people and revealed the identity of the monk, which will definitely disturb Zhao Jun. ”
Murong Ke nodded when he heard this: "Unless it is a large army, there will be no monks, this is almost the consensus among the armies of various countries...... General Huan and Lord Xi are probably not unreasonable. So what now? In addition to driving Master Xie away, what is the countermeasure? (To be continued......)
