With Zhao Fu's order issued, with Lanting City as the center, the entire northwest slowly moved. I don't know what kind of wind the new Northwest General is pumping, just after the winter, he suddenly has to order troops and go directly to the Northern Expedition? But there is no way, His Majesty has great trust in this person, and the official level crushes people to death. Some of them who are well-informed have also received the slightest message about the fight between the Hu people and the Holy Sect.

Unlike other generals, Zheng Yuan did not have the slightest confusion and confusion about the orders issued by Zhao Fu, and he could be said to be the initiator of this matter. Zheng Yuan didn't stay with Zhao Fu for long this time, but cautiously returned to the barracks.

He repeatedly stressed to the doorman at the door that no one was allowed to disturb him, and that if he wanted to enter his military tent, he had to report it before he could enter the military tent with peace of mind.

Zheng Yuan didn't see anyone at first glance, and he looked very nervous, and then he found a girl curled up in the corner of his vision before he breathed a sigh of relief.

For a while, he became very embarrassed whether he had just learned Chinese or Hu Chinese, which he had already mastered, but he couldn't say a few words. It wasn't until he found that the fruit bowl he had placed on the table showed no signs of being moved, that he found the breakthrough point, and he carefully picked up the fruit bowl and placed it next to the girl. The girl heard the sound and turned her head to look in the direction of the fruit bowl for a moment, but only shrunk her body tighter. Seeing this, Zheng Yuan took a few steps back, until he retreated to the corner, and the two of them opened the farthest and safest distance in the small tent.

After a long time, the girl trembled and stretched out her hand and carefully groped on the woolen blanket.

Zheng Yuan didn't leave, he didn't move, he was the same as the girl, he sat quietly in another corner, watching the girl.

Zheng Yuan is a slave who grew up on the grassland, although life is hard, there is no shortage of legendary stories on the grassland, in addition to hearing about the rich land in the south that is most suitable for the survival of the human race; I have occasionally heard of the mystical kingdom in the depths of the desert to the west, the huge city built on the edge of the oasis, and the chanting of the gods lingers every day......

After Zheng Yuan entered the Lanhe Empire, he learned about the profound Han culture, and with the in-depth understanding of Sinology, he admired this people more and more for trying to make his life better, and became more and more curious about the mysterious country in the West. And there was no war in the winter and spring, until he happened to know the general location of Oasis City when he had nothing to do in the barracks, so he rushed out with the 10,000 horses he had just subdued, and he didn't even have time to put on the new military uniform of the Lanhe Empire. Zheng Yuan is Zhao Fu's most trusted subordinate, and others only think that Zheng Yuan is carrying out the private orders issued by Zhao Fu, so no one dares to stop him.

The Cult of the Cross's defenses weren't as strong as they thought, or maybe they never thought that anyone would dare to invade the gods and storm the Oasis City, where the Pope sits. The Templars of the Holy Order of the Cross, dressed in ornate armor, were defeated in the dust stirred up by the savage hooves of their horses. The long knife raised in Zheng Yuan's hand reflected the light of victory and dispelled the fog belonging to the gods, everything seemed so natural - he was Zhao Fu's servant, so he should break the holy knight, and sing the glory that belonged to Lanhe and Zhao Fu to the world, even if the enemy was a "god".

Zheng Yuan encouraged his men to show off their military might, and also restrained their excessive aggression into the civilian population. He rode the handsome black horse in the lead and led his troops through Oasis City, and after confirming that there was nothing strange about the Cross Holy Cult, he left with a slight disappointment, which seemed to him to be an exaggeration.

Whether it is a god or a god, it is all fake, he remembered his Chinese teacher's evaluation of the Holy Cross Sect: It is nothing more than a group of white-skinned people who spread rumors and deceive, how can there be eternity in this world, and no matter the so-called gods and Buddhas, only the sages in their hearts, the most holy way, can be handed down.

Lanhe people are more reverent of sages, Zheng Yuan knows.

It wasn't until he drank horses in an oasis not far from the city that peach trees were planted around the lake that could be seen at the bottom, and at this moment, it was the season when the peach blossoms were in full bloom. Zheng Yuanhan is not deeply educated, but he thinks that the sentence "there are gods in the three feet of the head" is very appropriate, only when you raise your head, you will find that this oasis is such a peach forest, as if it is the father of Kua.

There are not only sages, but also peach forests. Zheng Yuan thought so.

Then, under the peach tree, he met the girl who could not speak.

The girl was wrapped in a not very clean white cloth, and was resting under a peach tree in a baby-like position, although her thin body was covered with scars, but it was not offensive, and what attracted Zheng Yuan the most was her stretched eyebrows, much like her expression when she secretly saved the dough bun for her mother to eat.

That small desire brings great satisfaction.

Before Zheng Yuan left, he also took the girl back.

Zheng Yuan frowned and looked at the pitiful little hands that were a little distorted, and he realized that she was not only unable to speak, but also unable to look at people.

The sound of footsteps sounded, and the girl quickly retracted into the corner, retracting the outstretched hand into her arms, using her thin and fragile back to face the direction from which the sound came, trying to ward off the impending injury.

The footsteps stopped, but no pain was felt, and just as the girl was about to relax, a hand gently rested on her head, and she quickly shrunk it tighter.

Zheng Yuan touched the girl's head, he didn't know how to communicate, then this was the friendliest way he felt.

"Eat, I won't hit you." Zheng Yuan was a little down, the girl dodged his hand, and he had to push the fruit bowl further in the direction of the girl.

The girl understood Zheng Yuan's words, slowly let go of her body, and carefully stretched out a hand......

Zheng Yuan forcibly grabbed her hand and didn't give her a chance to retract it, and then put that hand on the side of the fruit bowl.

When he grabbed the hand, Zheng Yuan saw the little hand clearly, which was grasped and deformed by a force stronger than himself, and even distorted the skeleton hand.

The girl touched the fruit bowl before she got a pear, and quickly retracted her hand with the pear, buried her head in her arms and ate it wildly.

Zheng Yuan looked sad and told the girl that no one robbed her, as long as she wanted to eat, she could eat enough, but the girl didn't believe it, she shrunk in her arms and ate, and even didn't peel the skin when she ate the oranges.

It wasn't until she choked that the girl stopped, but instead of the usual "cough cough" sound, she kept retching. Zheng Yuan took a handkerchief to wipe the corners of the girl's mouth and wiped the sticky juice of the fruit for her.

It was only at this moment that Zheng Yuan really saw the girl's face clearly, a girl with a very delicate face, but she had suffered too much, her youthful vitality was erased, and she looked very haggard, but she was still a likable type.

Staring at the girl's face, Zheng Yuan blushed seriously for the first time. When he was working as a follower for Zhao Fu, Shi Yiqiu would occasionally make fun of him, so he would blush obediently, as if the child who was taken out by his parents was praised, and blushed a little embarrassedly, so as not to be said to be proud. But this time, Zheng Yuan blushed for the first time, and it was serious.

The girl felt that Zheng Yuan stopped wiping the corners of her mouth for a long time, and became a little panicked, but she couldn't communicate with Zheng Yuan, her haggard face was full of fear, and after a long time, a "woo~" sound came out of her throat.

One sentence was not enough, and the girl made a few more sounds, which was very flattering.

Zheng Yuan came back to his senses from the flattering whine, only to realize that what he was doing was very inappropriate. He put away the handkerchief and wanted to pull the girl up, but the girl's hands grabbed the woolen blanket on the ground and didn't let go, as if she felt Zheng Yuan's dissatisfaction, she quickly rubbed Zheng Yuan's feet with her head......

Tears fell from Zheng Yuan's cheeks to the girl's body, and Zheng Yuan remembered the days when he was a slave.

Human beings are dignified......

He was half-on his knees and covered the girl's mouth with his hand to prevent her from whining again.

Zheng Yuan leaned her head on the girl's shoulder, her face was already full of tears, and gradually, the girl was finally able to understand Zheng Yuan's thoughts, she hugged Zheng Yuan with both hands, this posture was no stranger to her.

"Promise me that we will live like humans in the future, okay?"
