Chapter 192: Old Wounds
Xiao Ge let Xiao Cui and the others in, although he could see that Su Nian was not a girl who was obsessed with the world, but after all, she was a woman who had not been out of the cabinet, and he couldn't damage her reputation.
asked Su Nian to arrange a camp tent for them, Su Nian temporarily settled down, and slept beautifully in Xiao Ge's place, Su Nian felt refreshed, and the fatigue on the road seemed to have disappeared, so he had the spirit to observe the ancient military camp that he had never seen.
The area of the barracks is quite large, and when you open the tents, you can see that there are scattered military tents like yurts, and there is a sentry post made of wood on each side, a defensive fence with spikes, and from time to time there are soldiers patrolling back and forth with spears passing by with expressionless faces.
Su Nian seemed to smell the smell of tension in the air, and everyone was waiting with desperate thoughts, behind them, were the people of the Li Dynasty, if their defenses were broken by Ma Teng, those people would be ruthlessly trampled.
The ancient war was made of flesh and blood, and after Su Nian was on the ground, she really felt it, she retracted her head, took a deep breath, and turned around to see Xiao Cui standing behind her silently.
"What are you doing? Scared me. Su Nian patted his chest, walked around Xiao Cui, and walked to the side and sat down.
"Miss! Why the hell are you here, I haven't seen Lord Xiao for the past few days, aren't you here to express your heart to Lord Xiao? ”
"Poof......", all the tea used to suppress the shock squirted out, and Ah Lian, who was sitting next to her, was scolded, with a very innocent and dazed expression.
"Oops, oops, oops." Su Nian put down the cup and hurriedly wiped Ah Lian with a silk handkerchief, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I didn't mean to. ”
Ah Lian hurriedly stood up, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Xiao Cui sighed. Step forward to help, "Miss." Isn't Xiaocui right? Lord Xiao is so good to you, you endure the discomfort and travel a long distance to come here, and stay in the tent every day, Xiaocui is anxious for you! ”
Su Nian sat down again with a black line on his face, "Xiao Cui, what you said is wrong, the one who asked me to stay here and not move around at will is Lord Xiao, this is not the capital." You can do whatever you want, this is a barracks, and the slightest commotion may cause unease, so it's better for us to stay honest. ”
"Miss......"
"Besides, who told you that I came to find Lord Xiao? I'm just here to see with my own eyes this group of the loveliest people, and the life we can live in peace and prosperity is created for us by this group of warriors who have left their homeland and guarded us with their lives. Aren't these people worth the distance? ”
“……”
"Of course, Lord Xiao, I am also grateful, and by the way, I will thank him, which I have already said when I met him."
Su Nian's righteous words made Xiao Cui and the others speechless. only lightly brought the last sentence before Xiaocui reacted.
"But Miss ......, Xiaocui thinks Lord Xiao is so pitiful......"
"That's your delusion."
……
Su Nian can be so righteous and awe-inspiring when facing Xiao Cui. But when she's just one person, she'll sit there in a silent daze. Xiao Cui felt that Lord Xiao was pitiful, but in fact, she had the same idea.
Lord Xiao should like himself. When the emperor talked about what Xiao Ge had done for her, she didn't dare to imagine it, and she always had a terrible feeling.
Xiao Ge has always made her feel very powerful, no matter what aspect, there seems to be nothing he can't do, Gu Fei feels that things that are difficult are not a problem in Xiao Ge, such a person would actually make such a sacrifice for her, Su Nian felt terrified when he thought about it.
However, Xiao Ge happened to meet her, a person who is indifferent to feelings, she is grateful to Xiao Ge, grateful to him, and grateful to his whole family, but whether this emotion contains elements other than gratitude, Su Nian himself doesn't understand.
She has too little experience, she can't tell the difference, because she can't see her heart clearly, so Su Nian can't make any response, which is really pitiful for Xiao Ge......
No wonder Xiaocui has sympathy, Su Nian himself wants to sympathize with him.
At this time, in Xiao Ge's tent, Wei Xi and Xiao Ge stood face to face, the more Wei Xi looked at Xiao Ge, the more familiar he felt, it was okay before, but now he is wearing the general's robe, and his face has traces of being trained by the wind and sand war, so that he and the figure buried deep in his heart gradually overlapped.
Wei Xi's hand unconsciously touched the side of his waist again, how long has this injury not been faintly painful?
"Blood Butcher Knife, I used to, I heard my father mention ......", Xiao Ge spoke unhurriedly, his eyes were even very casual, and he didn't stare at Wei Xi: "Father said that he met a person in the Northern Desert, a very interesting person, not very old, but he has a good kung fu, jealous and hateful, but he has no motivation for the rest of the things, he is a person worth befriending, and he also has a very interesting name, it is called Blood Butcher Knife." ”
Wei Xi's expression remained the same, and he didn't roll his eyes much, but he felt that the old injury on his waist seemed to have a tendency to recur, why did it become so painful?
"The last time I saw my father, he smiled and touched my head, saying that he would come back soon, and when he came back, he would bring me some of the most popular gadgets in the Northern Desert, so I waited until I got the bad news that my father died in battle......
"Obviously it's just a routine investigation, why my father was stabbed several times and died, no one knows, the person who brought back the message said that my father was lying in a pool of blood and breathing, and the body was almost not snatched back, and almost fell into the hands of the enemy, these are what I secretly hid and heard."
"Among my father's relics, I saw a thing, it was a blood-red stone, carved into the shape of a knife, he said, the blood butcher knife made a bet with him, and finally lost, so he promised him to carve a knife for him to play, so I think, my father must have seen the blood butcher knife in the Northern Desert, he may know how my father died, so, can you tell me now?"
Xiao Ge's eyes looked at Wei Xi, he had been looking for so many years, but he didn't expect that he had met with the Blood Butcher Knife early in the morning, his father's death had always been a mystery in his heart that he wanted to figure out, they said that his father was killed by Ma Teng's sneak attack, but he didn't believe it, his father would always have some guards around him, how could he be so easy to be sneak attacked? Does the Blood Butcher Knife know it?
Wei Xi walked to the side and sat down, it hurt so much that he couldn't stand a little, this damn weather, is it going to rain?
Xiao Ge is his son, Wei Xi felt that his vision was still okay, so he said that it was quite similar, the same calm, the same decisiveness, and the same general's demeanor.
A person like himself who doesn't seem to be very gregarious, why did he come to get close to himself in the first place? Wei Xi often thinks that if that person hadn't come over and talk to him, he might have lived until now......
Xiao Ge's father, Wei Xi knew, and after he naturally became a bandit, he naturally fought with Xiao Ran, who came here with his troops.
The two of them actually won or lost, which surprised both of them, so Xiao Ran heroically asked everyone not to move, he wanted to fight with Wei Xi.
That heads-up fight lasted for a long time, and finally ended with the two of them exhausted.
From then on, Xiao Ran would come to Wei Xi to discuss when he had nothing to do, and Wei Xi was annoyed.
"Don't, we're an official and a bandit, it's normal to fight a dozen, hurry up, my bones are itchy."
Wei Xi can only passively accompany him every time, and after the fight, Xiao Ran often brings a jar of good wine, this Wei Xi likes it, and the two can gradually chat.
The friendship between Xiao Ran and Wei Xi is particularly inexplicable, Xiao Ran, as a general stationed here in the Northern Desert, dared to come to Wei Xi's cottage alone, I have to say that he is too bold, not to mention Wei Xi, even if so many people in the village rush up, it is enough to destroy him.
But Xiao Ran never worried, because he knew that Wei Xi would not do anything to him, and he was particularly fearless, which made Wei Xi quite speechless.
From feeling awkward at the beginning, to becoming accustomed to it later, Wei Xi slowly got used to having such a person, who would appear from time to time, fight with him, or get drunk, or make a harmless bet, Wei Xi was finally no longer a formidable lone ranger, and the brothers in his village were quite happy to see it, although the boss's friend was a general......
However, after Weixi's village became bigger and bigger, it was hated by other cottages, but they couldn't beat Weixi, so one of the cottages thought of a vicious method.
If they can't beat it, then find someone else, there are a lot of good things in Weixi's cottage, these should be quite tempting, this cottage, found Ma Teng......
Under the guidance of someone with a heart, Ma Tengjun evaded the Li Dynasty army, sneaked in, and touched the cottage all the way......
This is a tragic disaster, in the eyes of the Ma Teng people, the life of the Li Chao people is not life at all, no matter whether the other party is old or young, male or female, or even children, they can cut it with a knife without blinking.
Wei Xi's eyes were red, a machete was a little curled, and his whole body was as red as Shura, and by his side, it was Xiao Ran who was defending against him back to back.
Xiao Ran happened to be in the cottage, he was amazed at how Ma Teng could not alarm the garrison and come here, obviously he could escape alone, but after escaping and reporting the letter, he turned back again.
"It's my remiss to put them here, and I have to pay for it." Xiao Ran said this to Wei Xi, and brandished the knife in his hand, and together with him, he repelled the Ma Tengren who killed in front of him.
This is Wei Xi's stockade, he can't retreat, there are people behind him who he needs to protect, there is always blood splashing around Wei Xi and Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran has already released a signal, they just need to hold on until the reinforcements come, but Ma Teng has too many people coming this time, even if Wei Xi and Xiao Ran have tried their best, in the face of so many people, it seems that they can't retreat with their whole body.
