The clouds in the east sprinkled golden light from the horizon, the vast night faded in the field of vision, in the golden light, the bloody gas had not yet dissipated, several green wolves gnawed on the corpses on the ground that no one had gathered, the ground shook from afar, they turned their heads vigilantly, their ears trembled, and their cold eyes reflected a team of nearly three thousand people passing from sight.

The rocks and crosswoods that blocked the pass had been cleared, and the dark red and black marks that had left proved that there had been a terrible battle here not long ago, and the horses' hooves had trampled over the overturned dirt, and the wolves rode back here not to eat, but to jump off their horses and find a dry place to gather, and fall to sleep, as for the more or less wounds on the body, it was not so important.

The two thousand Han slaves rescued from the Xianbei tribe filled the middle of the hills on all sides and under the green fields, most of which had survived in that environment for a long time, and finally survived, becoming a little sluggish and numb, and the remnants of the White Wolf Plains tried their best to go over to help, raise a bonfire, take out the food in the wolf's den, and occasionally there were ignorant children stumbling in the crowd, babbling and looking at this group of strangers, adding a little anger.

"You have suffering, they have it, everyone is hard, hugging each other can live longer......" On the stone couch, Dongfang Sheng wrapped himself in a blanket and tried his best to share some of the work, broke an arm, and lost too much blood, so that his face was still pale, and he told several horse thieves in a weak tone, "The big leader is back, you must be cautious in your words and deeds when you do things, and you don't have to be so troublesome at other times......"

Soon, he fell asleep again.

On the other side, Cai Yan basically didn't close his eyes all night, and at this time, when he saw the black war horse and the man in the big coat, his hands were finally put down, even though he felt awkward about his own feeling, he could see that the other party was fine, and his heart was much more stable, and he was still cowering and hesitating.

The figure dismounted, strode into the wolf's den, looked at the sleeping figure for a moment, turned his head and glanced at a few people next to him, and his words were already powerful: "He's okay, right?" ”

The horse thief named Li Heizi didn't dare to raise his head, "The three leaders just told us, but our bodies were too weak, so we fell asleep after saying a few words." ”

"Hmm."

There was a simple hum over there, and his sight was lifted, and he was relieved to leave. Cai Yan followed all the way and wanted to come forward to speak, but he didn't dare, Gongsun Zhi at this time was difficult to approach, and walked into the bedroom with the figure in front of him, he was still a little hesitant to go in, and the tall figure fell on the stone couch with a bang.

In front of the wooden door at the entrance of the cave, Cai Yan bit his lower lip, Lianbu stepped in, touched the figure lying on his stomach, and saw that he was breathing evenly, and his heart was a little complicated and relieved, "It turned out that I fell asleep......"

Seeing him sleeping like this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, so he gently withdrew the wool boots on his big feet, and then helped Gongsun Zhi take off the big coat outside, and then moved this heavy body, and the two slender arms pushed it inward, and the sleeping body just moved.

"Why are you so heavy...... "The girl crossed her waist and looked at her sleeping body, puffing out her cheeks.

But she didn't wait long for her chagrin, there was a sound of footsteps on the side of the wooden door, and she quickly turned around, Jian Shuo came in with a basin of clear water, and the sturdy figure looked a little funny with a small basin, and then, the wooden basin was gently placed on the rock that was used as a table, wrung out a piece of cloth, and walked over in small steps.

"Madam, the work of serving people is still done by slaves and maids."

"It's okay...... I... I'm not that delicate either... He... Besides, he ......" Cai Yan lowered his head and glanced at the figure on the stone couch out of the corner of his eyes, his fingers twisted together, his voice gradually became much quieter, and his cheeks were slightly red.

With a lowered gaze, the wrung out brocade silk was handed over.

The girl raised her head and blinked, subconsciously took it, and over there, the eunuch had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and went over to put the figure on the stone couch to sleep, and quietly retreated to the side.

Cai Yan stared at the sleeping Gongsun Zhi, lowered his head and strode over, his chest rose and fell slightly, his little hand trembled a little and stretched over to gently uncover the tattered robe inside, and muttered: "So powerful... I don't see you snatching up the better ones to put on. "Saying this is not to embarrass yourself.

However...... Soon, her hand froze, and the whole person froze.

Inside the open robe, something pierced her eyes, the chest of the sleeping figure went to the abdomen, it was more than ten scars of all sizes, and there were a few wounds left by arrows on the shoulder, Cai Yan sat on the edge of the bed and looked at these, a cool tear slipped down her cheek, and wiped it in a panic.

"In the past, he was brutal and cruel...... Unexpectedly... You will also get hurt like this....." Muttered.

Next to him, Jian Shuo, who was standing under the torch, glanced at it and said in a low voice: "The master is good to his own people, and he is cruel to the enemy, much better than those hypocritical people in the court and harem, such people should have great blessings, and they will definitely be in the court in the future." ”

"Being an official ......" Cai Yan gently wiped his chest full of scars, shook his head, and hung with green silk: "There are still traces of knives and guns on the battlefield, and in the court, his temperament is not suitable, he is fierce but his heart is not dirty." ”

Jian Shuo leaned over: "Madame Bingxue is smart, why don't you help the master get some ideas?" ”

"I can't do it......" The girl held the brocade silk in her hand and looked at her face on the stone couch, "...... I'm okay to do some articles, I really have to calculate people... The heart is not ruthless enough. ”

Hearing the girl's words, the respectful eunuch closed his eyes, and then opened his eyes: "Since the lady can't do it, let the slave and maid come, the slave's heart has long been dirty." ”

Then he added: "At that time, the lady will say a few good words for the slave and maid in front of the master, and let the slave and maid also contribute." ”

Cai Yan looked at the sleeping figure, she didn't have much heart to recall the eunuch's words, just hummed, continued to wipe for a while, and then got up to pick up the wooden basin, the eunuch who stood down rushed over to take it away, and the girl had to hand the brocade silk to him together, and whispered: "Don't say anything about wiping his body... I... Don't want him to know. ”

"The slave knows." Jian Shuo nodded in response and went out with a basin of water.

The girl sat down again, stared at Gongsun for a long time, her fingers curled, and quietly reached over, touching the back of the man's hand, and her cheeks burned slightly.

"You look good at ..... like this......" her voice was as thin as a mosquito.

The torches flickered, the wooden door closed at some point, and the stone room became warm and quiet......

*******************************************

The sun rises above the clouds and travels thousands of miles away, illuminating the huge ancient capital.

The golden morning light shone into the window frame that was pushed open, and a slender figure was reflected in front of the bronze mirror, and the door opened, and an old man stood there, and then entered the house and sat down, looked at the woman sitting in front of the bronze mirror, and said: "How is the injury?" ”

"Thank you father-in-law for your concern, it's all right." The wooden comb slid over the green silk, and the back replied softly.

The old man nodded, and clapped his hand on a few cases, "It's okay, I should invite Wen Hou to the house to thank you in the future, I hate the good son taught by Gongsun Zhan...... almost ruined the old man's plan. ”

Over there, the hand holding the wooden comb stiffened for a moment, and then continued to comb, and said in a voice: "Who is the person that my father-in-law said?" ”

"Naturally, he is the concubine of Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Zhi."

The wooden comb slid over the ends of his hair, the corners of his eyes that were smeared with peach turned cold, and his fingers ran over his chest, and inside was a slightly raised scar.

Gongsun Zhi......
