Today's overcast weather did not seem to affect the steaming atmosphere in the barracks, and the smell of mutton and mare's milk wine still filled every inch of the air after lunch, and the soldiers walked to the high sandy slope beside the racecourse to continue listening to the heroic deeds of the elder.

Cutting through the bustling crowd, Jibulin dismounted in front of the largest white tent in the camp, whispered a few words to the soldiers who had come to lead the horses, and quickly stepped in.

After the three drums, the purple qi was already rising in the big tent, and the armor was lined up on both sides, and Ji Bulin sat on the wide wooden chair that was tightly wrapped in wolf skin, and said: "Today, the female shaman on the sand lake said with tears in her eyes that the clouds from the south will soon drift here, and the clouds will swallow everything here, and she said that she saw our cowardly flight and the scene of rivers of blood, and I would like to know what this means!" ”

A strong armor said unremittingly: "Clouds? Our war horses are the strongest in this radius, and the warriors are also the most brave and good at fighting in the Xianbei tribe, this is our territory, our pasture, and no dark clouds can stop us. ”

The other man continued: "General, I didn't sleep all night last night, and I saw a faint light emanating from the high sandy slope in the north, so I put on my armor and rode up on my horse to investigate, and the fire was from the northern desert, which was the direction of Shuozhou, which indicates that they have had civil strife, this is a sign from heaven, and the people in the city must need our help." ”

A pair of female generals laughed when they heard this: "It's just phosphorus fire in the desert, what heaven foreshadows, Shuozhou civil strife, that is, civil strife, with our current strength, it is difficult to reach a huge city." ”

Ji Bulin said indignantly: "Oh, it's hard to reach, where is Brother Ji?" Let me tell you how many soldiers and horses we have now. ”

I saw a young man in a disguised costume walking out of the team and replied: "General, there are more than 300 horse troops and 200 infantry troops, a total of more than 500." ”

"What about the thirty Han people recruited yesterday?" Kibrin asked in a low voice.

Ji Di said: "Those thirty people were originally going to Shuozhou to purchase a caravan, because they lost their way and mixed into our territory, they wanted to provide food and drink, and invited them to join the group. ”

The female general laughed loudly and said: "Five hundred people beat Shuozhou, everyone laughs, in my opinion, the female shaman guides us to the dark clouds from the south, I am willing to go a hundred miles south with Fulan Shuyu to see if there is anything unusual." ”

Ji Bulin thought for a while and said: "Okay, you two can disguise yourself, dress up as a business traveler, inquire along the way, and report anything unusual quickly." ”

"Order!" The two female generals bowed when they heard this, and were about to leave the tent, when Ji Bulin shouted: "Ruoxue, Master Fulan is looking for you two this morning, let's go home and see him first." ”

The two girls looked at each other and smiled, and went out of the account.

"Ruoxue! This is what was left over from that caravan yesterday, you see what it is! Fulan Shuyu held a celadon vase in her hand and said happily as she walked.

Fulan Ruoxue smiled and took her hand, glanced at it, and slammed the vase on the ground.

"What are you doing!" Shuyu screamed, and before she could raise her eyes, she slapped her face head-on.

Ruoxue stared at Shuyu who covered her face with her hands, and said coldly: "Call me sister in the future, and also, stay away from these bottles and cans, don't be discouraged." ”

Shuyu raised her eyes and said angrily: "What other sisters and sisters, they have all slept with a man, do you want to divide you before me, why don't you let me call you sister when I am in his arms." ”

Ruoxue heard the sound of drawing her knife and slashing, Shuyu dodged backwards, turned around and pulled out two short daggers, and met them. The two clashed for a while, and Soyu gradually fell into decline and was kicked to the ground.

Ruoxue put the sharp blade on Shuyu's neck, and said angrily: "Sister, you can not scream, but I want you to remember that it was the robber Jibulin who occupied our pasture, and it was he who forced away the leader of the tribe, that is, your own brother Lan Fangba, he was so small, with a childish face, he was tied behind his back and put on the carriage going west, where is he!" Tell me where he is! You know where he is! ”

Shuyu burst into tears and shouted, "Of course I remember this, but why didn't you do it last night, we have so many chances, why don't you do it!" ”

Ruoxue put away the knife, shed tears in a blink of an eye, and said: "I will do it, but not now, I will let those who have betrayed us see that the Mulan family will never admit defeat, and I want my father who is getting old to see that the descendants of the Xianbei King Tanshihuai will not give in to a fake Xianbei." ”

Shuyu got up and hugged Ruoxue, and the two choked up.

The yellow sand gradually thinned out, and everything that had been completely swallowed up by the sandstorm gradually returned to its original color, and the scorching sun scorched and the thick smell of earth once again filled the steaming air, and it exuded a mesmerizing illusion, which had been stretched into the distance with the bright yellow color of the golden dunes.

The horse lowered her head and walked the loose sand, the black veil of the woman on her back seemed to be soaked, and the fine beads of sweat were more and more imprinted on the woman's white forehead, and she raised her hand to wipe the sweat, took a sip of water, and then threw the water bag back and threw it into the hand of the woman who was riding on a horse like her not far away to endure the desert heat.

Compared to Ruoxue's still resolute eyes, Soyu seemed to be more confused, and she, like her horse, was panting heavily, breathing in the scorching and steaming heat, her body soft and weak to bear the shaking of each bump, as if she would fall off the horse at any moment.

"Shuyu, hold on, we've been about a hundred miles south, and we'll be going back soon." Ruoxue turned and shouted at Shuyu, but the shout didn't seem to give the woman any strength that she couldn't hold on, and she fell off her horse and landed in the rolling yellow sand.

At night, in a sparse poplar forest, the woman sat cross-legged by the campfire, wiping Shuyu's pale face tormented by the extreme heat of the day and the extreme cold of the night with a wet handkerchief, she touched Shuyu's forehead, frowned slightly, and looked at her quietly.

In her eyes, this is herself, that does not need any embellishment and concealment, when she is naturally and spontaneously exposed in front of you, the feeling of heart-to-heart connection is pleasant and enjoyable, as if all the joy and sorrow are transmitted through the inadvertent eye contact, and since then they have taken root and grown in the deepest place in each other's hearts, which is far and close, simple and direct, and you can't see the slightest distraction.

As twin sisters, they look so similar that ordinary people can't distinguish them by careful identification, if it weren't for the kind reminders from the two of them, the faint birthmark on Ruoxue's neck seems to be buried, but except for this special exception, the two may no longer be any different. Bright as condensed skin, the face of the country and the city has gathered too many blessings for them, maybe it is really a gift from God to this nation, this tribe, is the emperor scattered on this desert wilderness two stubborn and soft pearls, they have a natural natural innate free and easy temperament, the ordinary woman's pretentious attitude swept away, they are sometimes fierce and brave, sometimes amorous, perseverance and perseverance can be tranquil like water, maybe the blood carries too much of the glorious memories of the past, So much so that their gestures exude a royal majesty and a sense of arrogance that overrides everything.
