In the cold winter, the sun was even more stingy with its energy, and it hid behind the Taihang Mountain early. The temperature dropped suddenly, and the water turned into ice.

After Chu Tianya wrote the letter of appointment, he re-wrote all the letters he wrote to the leaders, and then handed them to Xiao Linglong and Xiao Fei respectively, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

I found that it was dark.

"It's time for me to go." Chu Tianya looked at Xiao Linglong.

Xiao Linglong also looked at him, without tears or superfluous words, just looking at him. Her eyes are more firm than the man who is about to go to the battlefield, but there is a trace of unreasonable tenderness entangled in it.

This is Xiao Linglong, her tenderness will always be understood by only Chu Tianya.

"Do what you have to do, there's nothing at home that you should worry about." Xiao Linglong put her right hand on Chu Tianya's chest and gently stroked it, "I'll wait for you to come back." ”

Chu Tianya was just about to reach out to catch her, but Xiao Linglong suddenly pulled back, turned around and strode away.

Learn to be a kunpeng flying thousands of miles, not a bird's nest. In Xiao Linglong's eyes, men should be like this.

Chu Tianya can now better understand why Xiao Linglong had avoided him for so long. Gentle Township Hero Mound, 100 steels will also turn into finger wrapping, how deep Xiao Linglong's love for him is, how high his expectations are for him. Be gentle when you should be gentle, be decisive when you should be decisive, she won't let Chu Tianya have any excuse in her heart, and miss the country for the sake of fame!

Chu Tianya closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

At this moment, he really had the thought in his heart that he didn't want to leave. After all, he is also a mortal in the flesh, with love and hatred, lust and inertia. Now the days are a good day, beautiful women are in the arms, admired by thousands of people, who doesn't want to live a life like this? He was especially greedy for Xiao Linglong's beautiful carcass and ecstasy, just now, he wanted to kiss her affectionately, untie her rose armor and kiss every inch of her skin.

But Xiao Linglong turned around and strode away, taking her female guards with the same wind and fire as when she came, taking away a look of amazement and envy.

This is undoubtedly a cruelty. But this kind of cruelty is undoubtedly well-intentioned and benign, and it makes Chu Tianya's heart involuntarily give birth to a strong desire - I must come back! Come back alive! Return triumphantly with victory!

Xiao Linglong, who walked out of the Star Picking Tower, paused for a moment, and looked back at the window where Chu Tianya was.

Chu Tianya didn't push open the window to look at her.

She smiled, softly and comfortingly.

"Be sure to come back, I'll wait for you ......"

The female general turned over and rode towards the south gate of Taiyuan City with a group of female soldiers. The night breeze in Taiyuan took away a few bead-like tears on her cheeks and inadvertently fell on the cold Huangming Street.

"Go-Target, Huanglong Valley!"

A moment later, another group of men also rode out. The target is the North Gate.

One south and one north, the distance has been opened from here.

But Chu Tianya clearly felt that Xiao Linglong was by his side, in his heart, and he had never and would never leave him.

The horses were galloping, and the sound of tapping on the frozen earth seemed to sound in Chu Tianya's heart.

It's been a long time since I've felt this visceral feeling. Maybe when he fell in love for the first time in his previous life, Chu Tianya had such a touch, that is, when he saw her who he liked but didn't dare to confess, he inadvertently looked back at himself and smiled, the feeling of being a little lost in his heart and blood boiling. At this moment, the courage in a man's heart can shake the sky and the earth, and he can be the enemy of the world.

Men, sometimes just such simple creatures.

Obviously, there is a beautiful country in front of him, but he will still be stunned for a look back at the Yiren.

Since then, there has been courage in my heart, because her tenderness flows in her veins.

"Ahh

Chu Tianya suddenly let out a hoarse roar, scaring the Qingwei around him into full alert, and all the weapons were unsheathed together!

"Protecting the Lord's !!"

Yao Chong looked at Chu Tianya in astonishment, with a confused expression. But soon, he read the blood and tenderness from Chu Tianya's young and resolute face.

"He's a real iron-blooded man...... Yao led millions of soldiers and read countless people, a young man like Chu Tianya is really rare! Yao Chong secretly exclaimed, "Everyone in the world says that if you want to achieve great things, you must be ruthless; But often those who can really achieve great things are some bloody and passionate and heroic temperaments! ”

At this moment, Chu Tianya had blood in his chest and fire in his eyes. The cold to the bone was unaware, and he even wanted to open his shirt to let the cold wind blow hard.

The reason why he didn't say goodbye to Xiao Linglong was that he didn't want to add distractions to his heart, become reluctant, and become affectionate. But now, he was glad that Xiao Linglong had found it herself.

It turns out that she is the biggest motivation and the biggest dependence in her heart!

That is, she, just a look when she left, told Chu Tianya, what is - "love"!

In the hearts of 10,000,000 people, there are 100 million understandings of love.

But now Chu Tianya has only one thought in his heart, love is Xiao Linglong, Xiao Linglong is love!

For her, it must be successful, it must be lived, it must be returned!

What is for the country, for the community, and for the people of Li and the people, it is all nonsense to deceive others.

Men, sometimes just such simple creatures......

Xiao Linglong, who rode out of Taiyuan, and ran for more than ten miles with more than 100 female cavalry, suddenly stopped his horse, threw himself on a big tree on the side of the road, and hugged the big tree like a child and cried bitterly.

The female soldiers all dismounted and quietly looked at their leader, the Lord of Xiao County, who was stronger and more heroic than the men, and who looked like a Yaksha ghost in the eyes of others. They didn't say a word, nor did they persuade each other, so they wept with her.

Not only did they feel that a general's loss of face and weeping in front of the soldiers like this would damage his majesty and image; On the contrary, they felt that from this moment on, Lord Xiao was more worthy of their respect, love, and life to defend and protect.

Because she is the same, a flesh-and-blood, love-hate, living, simple woman.

Tears stained the letter of appointment in Xiao Linglong's hand.

Xiao Linglong unfolded it and looked at it carefully, word by word. It was as if from this not very beautiful stroke, she could see his face, his smile, his every look, and smell his unique smell.

Don't live and die!

She knew how dangerous it was for Chu Tianya to go on this trip. She had 10,000 reasons to keep him, even if she could stay with him a little longer.

But she didn't do it, she would rather hide and cry alone, than give Chu Tianya any reason to be weak and retreat.

Because at such times, weakness and retreat may mean real defeat and death!

"County Lord, you are the strongest and wisest woman we have ever seen!" The female soldier beside her said, "Only you are worthy of being a woman!" ”

"Yes-because I'm Xiao Linglong, because I'm Chu Tianya's woman!" Xiao Linglong took a deep breath, took another deep breath, and said loudly, "Get on the horse - gallop to Qingyun Castle!" ”

The north wind was howling and cold to the bone. In the bodies of the two men, there was a fire burning in every vein.

At this moment, the romance of ice and fire can only be understood by Chu Tianya and Xiao Linglong.

……

During the extraordinary period, the guard of Xishan was very tight. There are sentry posts ten miles down the mountain, and there are many beacons of soldiers and horses, and the atmosphere of the war is strict and tense, which is suffocating.

Xiao Linglong drove straight in with the people, and she didn't even need to report and ask for instructions.

The Rose Armor is the best pass, 100,000 rebels, no one knows it.

It was very late at night, and Meng De had just finished inspecting the various city defenses and granaries, and he was still not resting at the moment. The logistics of the three armed forces seems to be an idle errand, but only insiders know how important and tricky it is. The food and clothing of 100,000 people are all on the shoulders of Meng De alone. No matter how brave a soldier is, he can't fight hungry. Chu Tianya handed over such an important matter to him, and he had to do it well even at the risk of his life.

In Mende's world, a qiē is very simple. Brother, affection, is a qiē. He doesn't have the insight of Chu Tianya, the knowledge of Bai Xu, and the arrogance and ambition of Jiao Wentong. He just wants to be a simple man, worthy of his brothers, worthy of women, and this life is enough.

Dragging his tired footsteps, Meng De returned to Qingyun Hall. There was still a batch of folded books for grain and grass waiting for him to approve, and the two clerical chiefs who assisted him were asleep on their desks, and the charcoal in the brazier was almost burned out. The two little leaders shrank from the cold, but they still didn't wake up.

They were exhausted. You can fall asleep even standing up.

When Meng De walked in, the leader of the guards who followed him saw that the two clerical leaders were sleeping, and he couldn't help but be angry, and he was about to wake up and curse.

Meng De stopped, "Go, add charcoal, and burn the fire a little stronger." Bring the bedding and cover them so that they can sleep well. ”

The guards glanced at the two little leaders hatefully, and walked away with broken thoughts in their mouths. The heart said, Brother Meng Qi is still boiling, but you two wastes are lazy and sleeping?

Meng De walked to his desk, rubbed his face vigorously, took a sip of cold strong tea, and opened the fold with one hand while grinding the ink himself.

A slender figure appeared at the door of the hall and slowly moved in.

Meng De looked up and smiled slightly, "Xiao Ai, you haven't slept so late?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Ai responded softly, walked to his table with a wooden tray in both hands, took a soup cup and put it down, "Drink, it's warm." ”

"Thank you." Meng De was not pretentious when he caught it gratefully, drank it all and then wiped his mouth, "It's really thirst-quenching!" ”

"Quenching your thirst? Really! Xiao Ai couldn't cry or laugh, "The ginseng soup I stewed for you has been stewed for more than two hours!" I drank it dry in one sip, like a cow's drink! ”

Meng De laughed, "I'm a rough person, I know that when I'm hungry, I'm thirsty and thirsty, and I don't know anything else." In the future, you will also stew me some ginseng soup, waste! Just make tea in a big pot and serve rice in a big bowl, hoho! ”

"So how is it a waste?" Xiao Ai said angrily while cleaning up the dishes, "You are tired and tired every day, and if you don't make up for it, you will easily get tired." ”

"It's okay, I'm strong." Meng Deho smiled, and then waved his hand, "It's cold, you go back and go to bed early!" ”

"Hmm......" Xiao Ai didn't say much, her cheeks were slightly red, and she walked away with a wooden plate like when she came.

Meng De stared at Xiao Ai's back for a moment, smiled slightly, picked up the folded book and continued to polish the ink.

Xiao Ai walked to the door, hid in the shadows and looked back at Meng De with a sideways face, with a girl's unique red rhyme on her face.

At this moment, the thoughts in her heart are like a pool of spring water that has been blown and wrinkled in early spring, rippling in a thousand ways.

"He's still thinking about his wife, and he still can't let go of her......"

"But why don't I mind at all?"

"yes, maybe, I don't even have the qualifications to mind. I'm just a camp prostitute, a dirty woman......"

"However, he treated me very well, like a father, like a big brother, like a lover. Brother Chu once gave me such a feeling. However, Brother Chu and Lord Xiao are too compatible, they are the best brother and sister-in-law in my heart......"

"Brother Seven, you must take good care of your body. Your wife is in the spirit of heaven and does not want to see you so hard and tired. ”

"Xiao Ai is useless, there is not much that can be done for you. Being able to cook a bowl of soup and make a bowl of tea for you is already my greatest satisfaction......"

"I will always be with you, even if you never want me, I am willing!"

……

Suddenly, a slap slapped Xiao Ai's shoulder, she screamed loudly, and the tray and bowl in her hand fell to the ground.

"Ahh

This exclamation is really creepy!

"Xiao Ai!! - "Meng De rushed out like a tiger coming down the mountain.

When I went out, I saw a woman wearing a fiery red armor holding Xiao Ai in her arms.

"County Lord, why are you, scared me to death!" Xiao Ai hugged Xiao Linglong tightly, crying and laughing and trembling.

"County Lord?" Meng De was also stunned, "How are you ...... Got here? ”

"Of course, I came all the way to find Seventh Brother." Xiao Linglong let go of Xiao Ai and smiled, "By the way, I overheard something I shouldn't have heard." ”

"What?" Meng De was confused.

Xiao Ai stomped her feet with a red face and wanted to escape, "County Lord-I'll go and bathe you in soup!" ”

"Huh!" Xiao Linglong pulled her and laughed, "You're not a maid, what kind of soup do you want to cook?" Sleep with me at night, I've got a basket to tell you! ”

"Okay—you talk, I'll go first!" Xiao Ai ran away as if he was running away.

Meng De was even more confused, "What's wrong with Xiao Ai?" ”

"It's okay, maybe I was scared of it." Xiao Linglong didn't say anything, and hugged Meng De and said, "Seventh brother, my little sister came to look for you on purpose, and I asked Seventh Brother to make a decision on something important." ”

"How dare you! The county lord has something to say! Meng De hurriedly returned the salute. Xiao Linglong met him with the gift of his younger brother and sister, Meng De, a straightforward man, was not only frightened, but also excited, and said with a straight smile, "The county lord and my brother, do you get along well?" ”

"We're fine." Xiao Linglong smiled slightly, "However, he's gone." ”

Meng De's expression froze instantly, "Let's go?" Where to go?! ”

"Come into the house and say!"

After the time of a stick of incense.

Meng De paced slowly with his hands behind his back, the lines on his face were as cold and strict as iron and copper, but his eyes were shining.

In this situation, if Chu Tianya saw it, he would definitely have a sense of déjà vu.

When I met Meng De for the first time, when the two secretly discussed dealing with Zhang Duyan late at night, Meng De was like this.

"Brother Seven, what do you think?" Xiao Linglong hadn't shown Chu Tianya's appointment order to Meng De, but only asked him what he thought about Chu Tianya's handing over all the military power to Bai Xu.

"Tianya has his thoughts, since he trusts Bai Xu and makes a decision, we should also trust Bai Xu." Meng De said, "What's more, the military order is like a mountain, since Tianya has already made an appointment, how can Meng have objections?" ”

Xiao Linglong smiled slightly, took the letter of appointment stained with her tears to Meng De, and said, "Seventh brother, look, this is the appointment I went to persuade Tianya to make it again. ”

Meng De took it and looked at it, and immediately looked surprised, "This ...... Why me? Changing the order at night and changing the commander before the battle, this is a big taboo! ”

"Xiaomei knows that these are taboos. But it pales in comparison to another thing. Xiao Linglong smiled confidently.

Meng De blinked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The position of the Lord." Xiao Linglong said, "If Tianya loses the position of the lord, those things are all worthless." Brother Seven, what do you say? ”

"Oh?" Meng De's eyebrows sank, "You mean, Bai Xu is ambitious?" ”

"Not really." Xiao Linglong smiled, "But as it often does, even if Bai Xu has no ambitions, he will directly threaten the status of Tianya." Especially this time, Tianya handed over all the military power of the 100,000 righteous army to him. Brother Qi, you are also the one who leads the troops, and you know that the army has always been 'obedient to orders'. After a war, the prestige of a general is easily established, and the feeling of experiencing blood and fire cannot be replaced by anything else. Now Tianya has given this opportunity to Bai Xu...... Brother Seven, you know what that means! ”

"I see." Meng De waved his hand, "County Lord, you are right!" I have to say that this time Tianya made a mistake lightly. Fortunately, he had a wise and calm and far-sighted person like you, so he was able to avoid such a mistake - Meng De, thank you on behalf of my brother! ”

After that, Meng De stood straight and hugged his fist with a "bang", and gave Xiao Linglong a standard military salute.

Xiao Linglong let out a long breath from the bottom of her heart, and hugged her fists in return, "Seventh brother, it is really a blessing in the previous life to have a brother like you at the end of the world!" - He's gone for a while, so we'll help him watch the family business! No matter who it is, don't want to get involved! ”

"Hmm!" Meng De must have nodded decisively, "You and I, plus the old man, are the three people my brother trusts the most!" At no time should we allow anyone to do anything to hurt him! ”

"With Brother Qi's words, I'm really relieved!" Xiao Linglong was relieved, "Seventh brother, let's leave for Xiaocang Mountain immediately!" Xishan here, leave it to me! - The little sister first accompanied you to Xiaocang Mountain to take over the military power, and then came back to concentrate on taking care of the grain and grass! ”

"You take care of the grain and grass?" Meng De was stunned, "This is a tiring job, let's change the male leader!" ”

"I'll do it." Xiao Linglong smiled and said, "Seventh brother, have you forgotten that I used to be the Yuheng Palace Master Lian Zhen Xingjun who was in charge of money and food in Qixing Village?" I brought a hundred female soldiers this time, and many of them used to be experts in managing materials in Yuheng Palace! ”

"That's good." Meng De nodded with satisfaction, "The three armies have not moved the grain and grass first, and logistics is also very important. Leave it to you, and I can rest assured - well, the war is like fire, and you have come from afar to rest very hard. As soon as the morning dawns, we will immediately set off for Xiaocang Mountain!! ”

"Good!"
