"Crackle!"

The fire was lit, night fell, and it was another tired day of fleeing.

I hurried for several days in a row, and I didn't meet a single Xia Guo beard, which made the soldiers feel good. Now that the battle situation is clear, Hu Zi broke Gucheng all the way north, first sent people to occupy several key roads of the Tang Dynasty, and directly sent troops from the Western Regions to capture several strategic points such as Pyeongchang in the north, waiting for the remnants of the Tang Dynasty to throw themselves into the net.

After thinking about it, no one thought that Tang Jun would be stupid enough to go west, because in the eyes of any sober-minded person, this is no different from suicide.

And this lone army, on the contrary, really came west.

The soldiers sat around the campfire to keep warm, and boiled game from nowhere in an iron pot. A burst of strong fragrance overflowed, making everyone swallow their saliva.

Taking advantage of the cooking time, a group of soldiers surrounded Tang An and asked, "Lord Tang, what are we going to do when we go to the swamp?" ”

Tang An was in a very bad mood, and Su Meier's sudden illness filled him with anxiety. Although she didn't want to admit it, she seemed to be less and less resistant to this fox in the Western Regions.

It was rare to have the opportunity to change the topic, Tang An was naturally happy and said, "Let's go to Xia Kingdom." ”

"Go to Xia Kingdom?"

The soldiers were all stunned, shocked by Tang An's bold words. I have long known that Lord Tang's ideas are unrestrained, but no one could have imagined that he would be so bold. A force of 3,000 men went deep behind enemy lines, and it couldn't even make a splash.

"Yes, go to Xia Kingdom." The flames reflected Tang An's resolute face, and he picked up a piece of firewood and threw it into the fire. "I've been thinking about it for a long time, and it's the only way to break the game in front of me. The swamp is listed as a forbidden place by the Xia people, if we can enter it, I think that because of the legends that have been handed down for thousands of years, the pursuers will not dare to chase it in again, but will go back to the Xia country to rob us and attack us. However, the area of the swamp is too large, and they must send a large number of men and horses to have a chance to find us at a certain exit, so that they will lose the opportunity to use the old general's identity to blackmail our defenders in the Western Regions. ”

Everyone pondered and understood Tang An's intentions. It's just that this is easy to say, but it is even more difficult to actually implement it. Not to mention the harsh natural environment of the Swamp, just a section of the road from here to the Swamp is not without the risk of encountering the army of the Xia Kingdom.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if you can really pass these levels, what will you do after that?

Ji Chen asked everyone's doubts: "Big brother, how are we going to act after we enter the Xia Kingdom?" ”

"You can only fish in troubled waters." Tang An smiled faintly, "After crossing the swamp, we will go all the way north, if we can be silent and not attract attention, of course, it is the best, but this possibility is very small. If nothing else, eating for 3,000 soldiers is a big problem. If we burn and loot all the way, it will be easy to arouse Xia Guo's vigilance, and we will really not be able to come back at that time. Therefore, we want to muddy the waters of the Western Regions, use our identity as soldiers of the Xia Kingdom, and play a game of chess with the beards of the Xia Kingdom. ”

"How should I play this chess?" Ji Chen continued to ask.

Good boy, humble and studious, quite my demeanor.

Handing this little brother who led out his intelligence step by step a look of appreciation, Tang An said: "There are nothing more than a few points in strategy: co-opting, dividing, provoking, and suppressing, and we must learn to take advantage of the situation." With our manpower, I am afraid that any city or tribe in the border region of the Xia Kingdom will be a force that should not be underestimated. We are going to use our advantages to find the safest way back home by searching for information on the one hand, and supplying our needs on the other. ”

"Good!" Li Dazhuang, who couldn't understand what Tang An said at all, applauded first.

Most of the soldiers were coarse people who couldn't read big characters, and when they heard Tang An's cloud, mountain and fog cover, they seemed to be very powerful, and they all applauded.

Sometimes, believing in a person is blind. And Tang An's previous performances have won everyone's trust.

Ji Chen was a very smart one among everyone, pondered for a moment, and said worriedly: "But eldest brother, we are not familiar with the situation in Xia Kingdom at all." ”

"We're not familiar with it, but someone is familiar with it."

"That's right, sister-in-law!"

Tang An was shocked, why did this title sound so awkward?

"The soup is ready!"

The big head soldier who was a guest cook shouted happily and held a full bowl first. Ji Chen brought it over, swallowed his saliva at the hot air rising from the fragrance, handed it to Tang An, and said, "Big brother, the lives of the brothers will be handed over to the sister-in-law." ”

Although Su Meier is a native of Xia Guo, a group of soldiers still choose to accept this woman who has already been "conquered" by Tang An from the bottom of their hearts - abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and be very good.

Tang An smiled bitterly, these stupid guys don't know yet, all this is just the appearance, your so-called "sister-in-law" is now hating Lao Tzu to death.

Thinking about Su Meier's condition, Tang An still picked up the hot soup and said, "That... Shall I try? ”

"It's not just about trying, it's about getting it!" Ji Chen smiled encouragingly, "Man, you can't say no!" ”

Damn, you can't do it, your whole family can't do it!

When I entered the carriage, it was pitch black. With the light in her hand, by the faint candlelight, it can be vaguely seen that Su Meier is still lying on the chair, her whole person trembling, like a helpless little white rabbit, endearing everywhere.

Tang An sighed, put down the hot soup, walked to her lightly, looked at her weak and painful appearance, and felt a pain in his heart for no reason.

"It's cold..."

Su Mei'er closed her starry eyes, her whole body shrunk into a ball, and her arms trembled to herself. Tang An tried his forehead again, and it was still amazingly hot.

"Alas, if you were born in the Tang Dynasty, how good it would be..."

Tang An muttered to himself, took off his robe and draped it over her. Su Mei'er covered her clothes tightly, seemed to be more comfortable, and opened her eyes gently. It's just that the eyes of the originally upside-down beings are a little less charming and a little more haggard at this time.

"It's you..."

Su Mei'er said softly and struggled to sit up.

Tang An wanted to stop it, and said, "You are not feeling well, just lie down." ”

"Slave... Don't worry about it..."Su Meier refused Tang An's kindness, and sat up with her arms trembling. A simple action, but it used up all her strength.

Tang An sighed, picked up the bowl of thick soup, and said, "You haven't eaten for a day, let's drink this bowl of soup first." ”

"Slave... Don't want your... Alms..."Su Mei'er said weakly, "We..."

"We are enemies, do you want to say this?" Tang An smiled mockingly, "Yes, I'm a Tang person, and you're a Xia person." Your compatriots have killed countless people of the Tang Dynasty, and I have bloodied thousands of you. You should hate me and want to kill me, right? ”

Looking at his almost cold expression, Su Mei'er was slightly stunned, and she didn't know how to answer.

"It's okay not to answer, but I can't hear a decisive answer, at least it's a blessing for me." Tang An said, tearing off the white veil on her face, and her beautiful face was exposed to the air again.

Su Mei'er stared weakly, and her desire to make a vicious expression turned into extravagant hope.

Gently scooping a spoonful of soup and blowing to dissipate heat, Tang An handed the spoon to her chapped lips: "Don't look at me like this, I've seen this face of yours more than once." Doesn't it mean that whoever sees you will marry whomever you are? It looks like you're never going to be able to marry anymore except me. Open your mouth - ah! ”

Su Mei'er still opened her mouth, but instead of accepting the delicious soup, she bit Tang An's hand hard.

She hated this man very much, he took advantage of herself again and again, and the taboos that the women of the Xia Kingdom had to obey were simply air in his eyes.

He saw his own face and killed countless people with his own hands. This kind of blood feud that does not share the sky cannot be resolved in a few words.

Similarly, Su Meier is not a fool, how can she not see Tang An's care for herself along the way?

On the way to Pyeongchang, he left water and food for Mu Rong, and he hurried silently with hunger and thirst. When he met Bibi Hu, he could have walked away, but he took the risk of capturing Bibi Hu alive, just to prevent himself from being broken into the disgusting fat man's "Hu'e".

In Zhan Lingyun's station, he knew very well that these remnants of the defeated generals hated the people of the Xia Kingdom, so he tried his best to weave many reasons, just to save his life.

What he did, Su Meier saw it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart. But... Thousands of unjust souls of the Xia Kingdom entered their dreams every night and night, begging themselves to avenge them!

She bit Tang An's hand fiercely, but what strength could she have, who had already hollowed out her body?

Looking at her cold appearance, Tang An didn't have any expression on his face. I don't know how long it took, Su Mei'er seemed to be tired of biting, so she slowly let go of her mouth. And Tang An's rough arm was imprinted with a row of tooth marks like a crescent moon.

"Are you comfortable? If you're happy, drink the bowl of soup. ”

"Slave... Don't drink..."

"Of course you can not drink it, so that your illness will never get better, and even if you want to bite me to death, you can only do the same as just now. Maybe I will stay in this yellow land forever, but it's okay this way, no one is beside me to point fingers, so I can let go of my hands and feet and kill my beard..."

"Tang An!"

Su Mei'er screamed, stared at Tang An viciously, a trace of blood appeared on her pale face, and said, "To the slave..."

A beautiful woman, who said to me blindly in the dark, is really exciting.

Tang An smiled smugly, picked up the spoon and scooped another spoonful of soup to her mouth. This time, Su Meier did not resist, and gently opened her small mouth and drank it. seems to feel that this action is too ambiguous, and the red clouds on her face are even thicker, making her whole person look a different kind of weak beauty.

"Do you still want to bite me?"

"Slave... Wanted... Bite you to death! ”

Although she said it fiercely, there was no more ferocity in her tone. Before I knew it, I drank all the bowl of soup.

Tang An did not shy away from it, gently wiped her lips with her sleeve, wiped and wiped, but saw Su Meier's tears flowing down.

"Why are you crying? I don't seem to be you off, am I? ”

The more Su Mei'er cried, the more sad she became, her weak fist couldn't stop slapping on him, and she said while fighting: "Tang An, why are you so good to slaves?" Why..."

Tang Anxin softened and said with a wry smile: "Fraternity has always been my shortcoming, don't be too moved." Again, if you want to enter the door of the Tang family, you still have a long way to go. ”

Su Mei'er ignored the teasing in his words, and sobbed: "Do you know, we are simply impossible, and if we continue like this, it will only make the two of us more and more dangerous..."

Tang An smiled slightly and said, "Since I met you, when have I been out of danger?" ”

Su Mei'er was slightly stunned, looked at him with a calm appearance, avoided her eyes with a little weakness, and said, "The slave doesn't want to play such a dangerous game with you..."

Tang An sighed and said, "After the swamp, you can leave." Maybe never seeing each other again will be the best choice for you and me. If we meet again, I won't show mercy to your men, so I'll do it myself. ”

After saying this, Tang An picked up the empty bowl and got out of the carriage without looking back.

Looking at the swaying car curtain, Su Meier was stunned, only to feel that her heart was empty and there was no longer life.

"The Swamp..."

Gently spit out three words, and the tears flowed uncontrollably again...
