Chapter 70: The Water Ghost Walks at Night
"There are many ghosts in the waters here, and it is inconvenient to spend the night on the water, but looking at the current posture, it seems that I really want to spend the night here."
"Oh." Xie Xiaoman agreed listlessly.
No one expected that the meeting between Huan Wen and Murong Ke would be so long, from early morning to evening, until the smoke rose on the cliff over there, Xie Xiaoman here was already picking his teeth, and the fleet on the opposite side still had no intention of coming back.
However, Xie Xiaoman herself didn't care very much, her mood was a little chaotic, and the reason was naturally because of the quiet fireball, and the color had inexplicably faded a lot.
It's big, it's big, what's the matter with the lightening color? Xie Xiaoman also carefully observed other things, and there was no change, even the dark world was still inky and rich, but once the darkness was sucked into the fireball, the color of the aura would change accordingly, becoming lighter and lighter, until in the end, as if it had been robbed of its brilliance, only silently circulating in the transparent "fireball".
As for the body, there doesn't seem to be any change, the aura is still abundant, and the injuries on the body are slowly healing, and there is nothing out of the ordinary.
All the weirdness has accumulated on the "fireball", but who do you want to tell about this kind of thing? Who to ask?
Xie Xiaoman glanced at Xue Zicheng, thinking that because of Xue Su'er's matter, this guy has always been prejudiced against himself, and he will definitely not really talk to him.
Again...... Xie Xiaoman's heart was a little afraid.
Although some time had passed, the shadow of death had always hung over her head, something she had never forgotten.
I don't know when I'm going to die. I'm afraid no one will take this kind of thing lightly.
Xie Xiaoman couldn't help but wonder if the fading of the "fireball" was a foreshadowing. Their own life is not nearing the end.
She has such thoughts in her heart, and it is unspeakable.
Born to die, perhaps it is precisely because of this thought that Xie Xiaoman has done a lot of messy things recently.
Many things don't have any real meaning or use, just what the heart wants. And I did it.
Anyway, it's going to die, so you can do whatever you want.
Death, sometimes. It opens the door to freedom of movement.
Xie Xiaoman hid from Xianglan and them, and secretly explained what happened after her death, and now that everything has been completed, she is naturally relieved.
And then what? Xie Xiaoman didn't think much about it. I haven't even had time to think about it. was dragged into the army by Huan Wen.
Originally, he also wanted to recuperate and leave, but now, looking at the majesty and fortitude around him, and looking at the smell of iron and blood floating in the air, Xie Xiaoman suddenly didn't want to leave.
In the army, this is something she has never experienced, so why not take a look? Take a look? Use this pair of yourself. I don't know how long I can see the world.
In the face of death, spiritual practice becomes something that is not important. In fact, nothing matters.
The aura of nihilism Xie Xiaoman's body kept flashing, but she was alive after all.
On the one hand, I desperately want to cherish my time and do something, but on the other hand, I feel that everything is so meaningless.
So, what to do?
I simply went in the direction that my heart longed for.
The heart yearns for it, although it does not know the meaning of the distance, but it knows the journey under its feet.
She thought that Huan Wen's Northern Expedition was very interesting, so she followed.
The reason for it is simple, so simple that it borders on crudeness.
However, there are some things that cannot be escaped, such as the imminence of death.
Xie Xiaoman looked at Jiang Mian, and Xue Zicheng looked at her back from behind, still with a thoughtful expression.
Xue Zicheng knew the problem of Xie Xiaoman's body, and he also understood the source of that breath, and he knew more about the direction of Xie Xiaoman's fate.
He was just a little puzzled, even what he had already noticed, why hadn't the person in the west taken Xie Xiaoman's life yet?
So he was puzzled, so he thought about it.
"Huh? Who is that...... Xie Xiaoman saw a passing passerby and beckoned, "Aren't you the one who was hit on the ass by Huan Wen with an inkstone in the morning?" What's your name? You're Huan Wen's personal guard, right? Why haven't you followed to the other side of the river? ”
The pro-guard who was called was actually just a half-grown boy who had just turned twenty, and he was suddenly stopped, which made him stunned, and looked around left and right, as if he was the only one passing by, so he looked at Xie Xiaoman in confusion and pointed to his nose.
"Oh, that's you, who else is this?" Xie Xiaoman rolled his eyes.
"Ah......" The guard stepped forward and bowed his hand respectfully, "Counselor Xie, what do you command?" ”
Xie Xiaoman continued to roll his eyes: "I have just said it again." ”
The guards blushed, and hurriedly said: "My name is Li Chuanchuan, and I do three at home, so everyone calls me San Lang." ”
"Are you sure?" Xie Xiaoman raised his eyebrows, "How can I hear that others call you Chuanchuan?" ”
Li Chuanchuan's face turned even redder, and he stammered nervously: "That's all, it's all them...... Just kidding. Also, there are ......"
"What else?" Xie Xiaoman asked curiously.
"Which ......" Li Chuanchuan's face was red and white, obviously a little frightened, he straightened his chest and took a breath of river breeze, plucked up his courage and said with a blushing face, "Counselor, can you ...... Don't call General Huan by his name! ”
Xie Xiaoman didn't expect him to say this, his expression on his face changed strangely, and he finally burst out laughing: "Your ass was smashed in the morning, why are you still so towards Huan Wen?" ”
Li Chuanchuan's face was red, but he was a little angry: "We, the guards, have followed the general since we were young, and the general has saved my life, even if my life is used by the general, I am willing, not to mention just ...... It's just that my ass and ass have been smashed......"
Speaking of which, Li Chuanchuan's voice was like a mosquito and a fly.
"Oh, got it." When Xie Xiaoman heard this, he stopped ridiculing and straightened his expression, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through." ”
"It's okay!" Li Chuanchuan didn't expect that a counselor would apologize to a soldier like himself, and he was even more nervous for a while.
"You don't have to be afraid of me, I don't know anything, I don't know anything, I just feel curious, so I came to take a look, but it really broadened my horizons." Xie Xiaoman smiled, "It's still the question of Fang Cai, you are Huan...... Why didn't the general's personal guards follow him to the other side of the river? ”
This time, Xie Xiaoman didn't dare to call Huan Wen's name in front of Li Chuanchuan.
"We were ordered to stay here and answer any problems. Counselor, look over there......" Li Chuanchuan pointed to the place in the center of the river, and now in the darkening sky, many small boats could still be seen there, gathered in groups of three or five, floating with the waves of the Yangtze River.
"There is always an eye on the movements of the Yan army, if there is anything wrong, General Huan will send a signal, and they will go back to respond. As for me, I am also following the southern bank here to prepare, and if Yan Guo turns his face, I must also ensure that they will not take this opportunity to indulge in my Great Jin. Li Chuanchuan said solemnly.
"I see," Xie Xiaoman didn't know much about the art of war and the like, and it was even more difficult to march and fight, but at this time, Li Chuanchuan explained clearly, and she understood a little, "That is to say, although Yan Guo came to talk to General Huan about things, after all, it was a large army pressing the border, and it was a threat to my Jin Dynasty, right?" ”
"That's right!" Li Chuanchuan said happily, "The Counselor is really powerful, he understood the situation at once, and he couldn't complain that General Huan was deeply pleased...... Uh, respect! ”
Xie Xiaoman didn't bother to pick his loopholes, so he just didn't listen. He asked again: "Don't praise me, I know my ability, just a little, is there more?" But I'm curious, how did you decide at the time? What is the signal? It's so far away, it's not like a cup drop, right? ”
Xie Xiaoman quipped.
"Of course not," Li Chuanchuan scratched his head, glanced at Xue Zicheng, who was standing on the other side, subconsciously lowered his voice, and said nervously, "General Huan has something planted by Lord Xue, if something happens to the general, Lord Xue will know as soon as possible, and he will give an order." ”
Xie Xiaoman was stunned: "It turns out that there is still this kind of application?" Xue Zicheng's status is so high in your army? ”
Li Chuanchuan nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes!" I've been with General Huan since I was a child, so it should be...... Well, seven years ago, almost. At that time, Lord Xue was already doing things for the general, how many years have passed, I don't know how many years a small soldier like me, anyway, it must be more than seven years. In the army, the general trusts Lord Xi the most, and then Lord Xue. But then again, Lord Xie, you are too...... Hey! ”
"Hey, hey, you're big!" Xie Xiaoman gave Li Chuanchuan a violent shudder, "You will know after a long time, I have such a little ability, how dare I compare with these people." ”
Xie Xiaoman shook his head.
Li Chuanchuan wanted to say something, but he heard Xue Zicheng say: "Xie Xiaoman, will the spirit wall be set up?" ”
"Huh?"
Xue Zicheng's voice was very serious, and he came to his eyes in an instant, startling Xie Xiaoman.
"Spirit Wall." Xue Zicheng simply repeated.
"Yes, but only a little, very weakly." Xie Xiaoman saw that he didn't seem to be joking, and quickly stood up.
Li Chuanchuan also panicked, looked at Xue Zicheng anxiously, and then looked in the direction of the cliff.
Over there, a disturbing bonfire had been lit, but there was no disconcerted movement.
Xue Zicheng glanced at Xie Xiaoman: "Do as I say, set up a spiritual wall for this fleet." ”
"What? The whole fleet? Xie Xiaoman's eyes widened, "You think too highly of me, where do I have so much ability?" ”
The entire fleet spread out in a wide range of almost two or three football fields. Xie Xiaoman had only set up a spiritual wall for his small courtyard, and he was already too tired to do it, and almost all his spiritual energy was consumed. Nowadays, this specification is too bad.
"Listen to me, you can do it." Xue Zicheng's eyes were like knives, and his silver hair was like snow, "Unless you want these people to be entangled in the water by water ghosts!" (To be continued......)
