Chapter 13 A River of Blood
Gu Jinghuai unloaded the package on his body, took out the fishing tackle and bait inside, hung the earthworm on the hook, and threw it into the water.
The bait sank into the water, causing a ripple in circles.
Then calm was restored, and Gu Jinghuai sat cross-legged on the shore, looking leisurely.
After more than ten years of fighting bravely on the battlefield, I am used to seeing rivers of blood and horse leather shrouds.
So the tranquility of this moment made him feel extremely comfortable, and the most important thing was that Seventeen was still by his side.
There is a turbulence in the army, and only Seventeen is pure and harmless.
She is a fool, and like Bai Yueguang in his mind, the most important thing is that Seventeen is quiet and sensible, and she is very easy to satisfy.
When Gu Jinghuai was thinking about Seventeen, Shen Seventeen was also looking at him from behind.
The man on the shore was calm and peaceful at this time, like an ordinary man, if someone really passed by here and saw him, it would be hard to believe that he was bloodthirsty and killed people without blinking.
She didn't expect him to really take her out fishing alone, if she really knew that this was the case, she should have deployed it earlier...... Just as Shen Seventeen was thinking about it, Gu Jinghuai's voice suddenly came from the shore: "Seventeen, come and catch it." ”
Seventeen woke up from a dream, jumped down from the stone, and walked towards Gu Jinghuai.
As soon as Gu Jinghuai raised the boom, a fat carp came out of the water and fell to the ground with a snap.
"Seventeen, grab it."
Shen Qiqi really bent down to catch the carp, but the fish was too slippery, and she couldn't stop catching it.
Finally scurrying in her arms, Seventeen was careless, and the fish fell into the water again.
The water splashed and fell on the water of Seventeen's face.
She shook the drops of water from her face, looking very embarrassed.
Gu Jinghuai laughed out loud when the conspiracy succeeded, and the laughter echoed in the mountains, startling the that landed on the trees.
As the night filled the mountains, Gu Jinghuai lit a fire by the pool near the waterfall, and tied a hammock to Seventeen between the two stout trees with a sturdy mountain vine.
The two of them faced the bonfire, Gu Jinghuai was holding a grilled fish in his hand, and Shen Qiqi was holding a roasted mushroom that was a little shriveled.
The fragrance permeated the edge of the pool, the air was very quiet and peaceful, and a few peaceful "coo" sounds broke the silence at this time.
Shen Qiqi lowered his head and looked at his mushrooms, not saying a word.
Gu Jinghuai looked at his stomach and frowned.
He suddenly raised his sword eyebrows and scolded Shen Seventeen, "Seventeen, why is your stomach screaming so loudly? Shen Qiqi's face was innocent: "It's not my belly ......" Gu Jinghuai threatened her, "It's just the two of us here, it's not you, is it me?" Shen Qiqi didn't dare to look at his eyes, but he was wronged in vain.
"The fish is grilled, eat more."
Gu Jinghuai picked out the fish bone for her and handed it to Shen Seventeen's face, Shen Seventeen didn't know why he was so good to him.
Some were flattered and did not dare to accept it.
"I, I, I...... I'll just come by myself, you don't have to worry about me......" Gu Jinghuai raised his eyebrows and looked at her with questioning eyes: "What, are you polite to me?" Shen Qiqi didn't dare to speak, lowered his head and concentrated on eating the fish, a person with blood on his hands, and the fish bones he picked for her made the taste of the fish indescribably strange.
However, she still ate it, Gu Jinghuai was very satisfied, and finished the fish that Shen Seventeen hadn't eaten by herself.
It was a cool night, and they slept on the rattan beds before leaving.
Gu Jinghuai extinguished the fire and walked back along the way he came.
When I was about to return to the barracks, I was in front of a huge tree.
Gu Jinghuai stopped, his wolf-like eyes narrowed slightly.
Turning his head and looking at the mountain behind, he keenly captured a bright light on the mountain.
He sniffed carefully, smelling the burning torches.
He took Shen Qiqi's hand, and his teeth bit slightly.
"Seventeen, you can find a quiet place to hide later."
Shen Qiqi was puzzled in his heart, and Gu Su Yunheng told her.
Even if you want to act, you have to wait for three days, why did Gu Jinghuai suddenly become suspicious.
"What's wrong?" Seventeen peeked out from behind Gu Jinghuai.
Gu Jinghuai took Shen Seventeen's hand and strode towards the barracks.
"It's too late to explain to you now, wait for you to hide, don't go anywhere."
Gu Jinghuai came to the front of the two sentries in the barracks.
He asked, "What's unusual today?" Neither sentry spoke, but both shook their heads in unison.
Gu Jinghuai felt a little abnormal, and it happened that Wang Lichuan was walking this way at this time.
Seeing that Gu Jinghuai was back, he ran over to say hello.
"The general is back? Today's landscape with beauty has always been very pleasant. ”
Gu Jinghuai squinted his eyes and didn't speak, and when Wang Lichuan was about to approach Gu Jinghuai, a dark arrow suddenly broke through the air and rushed directly towards Gu Jinghuai.
"General be careful."
The night that had been quiet suddenly became restless.
A group of soldiers in black armor suddenly burst into the shadows, rushing in like a bamboo.
The scene suddenly became a mess.
The man at the head was wearing a black iron armor, his eyes were blazing, and he shouted loudly to the people behind him: "Brothers, follow me, kill the Chu thief, and leave no one behind." ”
The two armies fought fiercely.
The other party was taken by surprise, and Gu Jinghuai did not mess with himself.
"Wang Lichuan, you take Seventeen to find a safe place, Fu Jingyi instructed the sentries to keep an eye on the mountain, take care of our granary, and you will give me the rest."
Shen Qiqi was behind the tent in the dark not far from Gu Jinghuai, and she slipped into Gu Jinghuai's tent, and after confirming that there was no one, she rummaged through the cabinets.
But this time she was disappointed, there was nothing in it.
Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and was about to walk out, but found that Gu Jinghuai was outside the tent.
His cheeks were resolute and angular in the light of the torches, and his eyes shone with a wolf-like bloodlust.
But his right arm was wounded, and it was gushing outward.
"General, be careful."
I don't know who in the crowd shouted again, and the voice dragged on very high.
A man in black suddenly rushed out at a violent speed, holding a dagger in his hand, and stabbed directly at Gu Jinghuai's body.
This is Gu Jinghuai holding a long spear in his hand, resisting the soldiers attacking in front, and retreating to the barracks.
That knife is unavoidable.
When his life was hanging by a thread, Shen Qiqi didn't know that he was pushed.
It pounced directly on Gu Jinghuai's body.
Shen Qiqi's face turned unusually pale at that moment, and she actually rushed to Gu Jinghuai's side.
Later, he blocked the knife for Gu Jinghuai.
The sudden change caught everyone off guard.
No one thought that at a critical time, Shen Qiqi would sacrifice his life to save Gu Jinghuai.
Seeing that it was Shen XVII, the person who stabbed him hurriedly took it, but the knife still stabbed Shen XVII in the shoulder.
Blood gushed down Seventeen's shoulder, and Seventeen fell to the ground limply.
"Seventeen!" Gu Jinghuai's eyes suddenly turned scarlet.
With a hysterical shout, it seemed that a wireless force suddenly erupted in his hand, directly picking the soldiers who attacked him into the air.
"Come and protect the general."
Wang Lichuan shouted loudly, and the soldiers present began to move closer to Gu Jinghuai, protecting him and Shen Seventeen.
Shen Qiqi lay in Gu Jinghuai's arms and fell unconscious.
"Go and call the medic."
Gu Jinghuai shouted hysterically again.
Holding Shen Seventeen into his tent, he walked into his tent.
Soon the military doctor came over and treated Shen XVII.
Gu Jinghuai glanced at Shen Qiqi, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, picked up the spear again, and rushed outside.
Gusu Yunheng's soldiers saw that the assassination had failed, and it was unfavorable for them to fight for a long time, so they hurriedly withdrew.
"Take them down, and leave none behind."
Gu Jinghuai shouted, Wang Lichuan took the order, and led his subordinates to chase after the group.
Gu Jinghuai fought bloodily and captured a few prisoners alive.
It's a pity that those people had premeditated and committed suicide by taking poison.
The other party seems to have already made a foolproof plan.
Gu Jinghuai had no intention of fighting for a long time, and took the lead in returning to his military camp.
There was no light on in the tent, and it was dark.
Gu Jinghuai felt bad in his heart, and opened the curtain to take a look.
The military doctor was lying on the ground, and Shen XVII's whereabouts were unknown.
On the second day, Gu Jinghuai really gave up training soldiers and took Shen XVII to the mountain to fish.
I don't know how many years have passed in the mountains, but it is already fruit season, and the trees are full of red fruit everywhere.
