Chapter 21 (I) Infighting in the Army
"This is not what you should be thinking about" Leng Changxi turned sideways to Lu Wuyi and said, "Your task is just to make poison and detoxify." ”
"Do you really think that there is a mysterious tribe living in this savage valley that eats people and does not spit out bones?" Lu Wuyi raised his voice: "There are only poisonous snakes and beasts alive here, where are there any traces of people." ”
The wind in the night was gloomy, blowing Lu Wuyi sneezed violently, and in the dark, he seemed to feel that there were a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark, like Shura from hell, staring at his throat all the time, just waiting for such a knife.
"Just because we can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Leng Changxi turned around and said to Lu Wuyi, his cool eyes shining through the silver mask.
"That's right," Qin Yunuan continued, "Do you remember what Maugham said, when he came to the Savage Valley seven years ago, although there was civil strife at that time, he was the only one who lived, he just had to bury the corpse on the spot, and he didn't even care, only let the scorching sun shine, but why did he take out the internal organs of the corpse and hang it on the tree?" ”
"Xu made it up by him," Lu Wuyi shook his head, "Maugham is not a completely credible person. ”
"No, I tested him" Qin Yunuan lowered his eyes, suddenly raised, and his pupils were as deep and quiet as an ancient well, "I deliberately let him see the butcher slaughtering cattle and sheep, I ordered the butcher to deliberately pull out the sheep's intestines and hang them on the bamboo pole, his eyes at that time were 120,000 terrified, and even began to tremble, if I didn't stand next to him and let him watch, he might have escaped for a long time, do you know what this proves?" He was afraid, it was because he had experienced it, so he was afraid, if it was really he who took out the intestines of his companion's corpse, he would not be so afraid, it can only be said that seven years ago, after the infighting between Maugham and his companions, someone stole those corpses, and then took out the intestines and internal organs and hung them on the tree, whether this was a warning or a form of sacrifice, I don't know, what I can be sure of is that there must be people in this valley besides us. ”
"I don't have time to play this kind of guessing technique with you," Lu Wuyi suddenly looked back at Qin Yunuan in some surprise and said, "Mrs. Leng, I'm very curious, since when did you become able to read people's hearts like this?" It seems that you know people's inner thoughts just from other people's actions and demeanor, the third girl of the Qin family has such a ability, why have I never heard of it? ”
Qin Yunuan smiled softly: "If you have lived two lives, if you have a person you love deeply, and you are determined to follow him to the end of the world, life and death depend on each other, you will become strong unconsciously, and unconsciously mobilize all your abilities, observe people, things, and never forget, this is my ability, I just keep making myself stronger." ”
Lu Wuyi was thoughtful, his eyes moved to Leng Changxi, Leng Changxi's eyes were tender, and he looked at Qin Yunuan infatuatedly, like the innocence and obsession of the young son's emotion, completely not like the commanding General Leng.
The morning sun in the dense forest always comes late, after a commotion last night, Qin Yunuan only slept shallow in the tent for two hours, and was woken up by the sound of the soldiers outside cleaning up things, when he came out wearing a cloak, a pot of white rice porridge had been cooked outside, the conditions were difficult, and a lot of dry food was thrown into the quagmire in the fight with the python, and he couldn't eat it anymore, and the soldiers with vision saw Qin Yunuan come out, and immediately served a bowl of white porridge, and there was a little fungus floating on it, which should be picked by the soldiers in the army themselves;
"Where's my father-in-law?" Inevitably, Qin Yunuan was still wearing the white yarn in front of everyone, but Leng Changxi deliberately reduced the white yarn by a few layers, so that Qin Yunuan could see clearly even through the white yarn.
"Oh, Tuoba Gongzi went out early in the morning, he followed the previous troops to explore the way, and he should be back soon."
Qin Yunuan whispered "oh": "What about His Highness?" ”
The soldier smiled flatteringly, didn't say it explicitly, just clubbed his elbow in the direction of the southeast, Qin Yunuan looked in this direction, and happened to see Yasu and the fourth prince Wan Yansu arguing about something, there was also an upside-down stoneware bowl at the feet of the two, and the porridge in the bowl spilled all over the ground, and the two quarreled.
Qin Yunuan squinted her eyes, Wan Yansu's expression was serious, as if she was questioning Yasu about something, Yasu looked aggrieved, thinking that the soldier who delivered the porridge was still next to her, Qin Yunuan just turned around and said lightly: "My eyes are not good, I can't see clearly if you point it to me." ”
The soldier was embarrassed, and suddenly the sound of the horse's hooves started, Qin Yunuan held his breath, and it seemed that he could hear the slight sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the grass and breaking the grass roots, accompanied by the aroma of grass, the familiar breath quickly rushed into Qin Yunuan's nasal cavity, and when it lingered last night, Leng Changxi was also the smell of this smell.
He's back.
At this moment, the lookout soldier standing at the top also raised his flag and shouted, "They are back." ”
After the horror of the first two scenes, this group of people deeply felt that in this dense forest, it was a great luck to come back alive.
"How?" Wan Yansu personally took the reins for Leng Changxi.
Leng Changxi jumped off his horse, patted the dust on his armor and said: "The road is right, we followed the map all the way and found Eagle's Beak Mountain, but there is a ray of heaven there, we can't ride a horse, so we will come back first for the time being." ”
Wan Yan frowned: "Is there any other way around that I can pass?" ”
Leng Changxi glanced at Yan Su lightly and said, "No, that's the only way." ”
There is no other road, a line of sky, and horses cannot be ridden, which means that Wan Yansu and others have to abandon all horses, without horses, not only is it inconvenient to travel, but many things that only horses can carry must also be abandoned.
After pondering for a long time, a big man beside Wan Yansu said in a rough voice: "This canyon is so big, how can there be only this way?" Your Highness, you are waiting here, I will take the brothers to find other roads, horses are the lifeblood of our Beidi people, how can you say that you can throw it away. After saying that, the man really turned around and gathered a few people who had a good time, and encouraged them: "Brothers, Your Highness treats us very well, and now is also the time for us to repay our kindness, isn't it just a broken valley?" Forgive it and it won't be anything else. ”
This group of people was instigated by this man to be imposing, holding a big knife and looking like they were not afraid of heaven and earth.
"If you go out in such a hurry, if you can come back alive, my head, cut it off, and give you a ball;
。 Suddenly, Leng Changxi's cold words extinguished most of their enthusiasm.
"What do you mean?" The leading man was immediately dissatisfied, "The surname Tuoba, don't think that you are a Western Xia noble, it is a distinguished guest invited by our Royal Highness, Lao Tzu has to offer you as an ancestor, you can come back alive, Lao Tzu can naturally come back alive." ”
Leng Changxi tilted his head and ignored this unreasonable man.
"But what if you don't come back?" Suddenly, a stern reprimand stopped the man's action of leading the horse, and when the man turned around, he didn't expect that the person who spoke so seriously turned out to be Wan Yansu, who had always been reasonable.
"Your Highness?"
"I ask you, what if you don't come back?" Wan Yansu changed his humble appearance in the past, his eyebrows and eyes vibrate, and his pupils exuded a domineering aura that looked at the world, "And then these soldiers are excited to find you?" Delay and delay, go and go, when will it be? As I said, Tuoba Gongzi is a distinguished guest invited by my house, and his ability is also obvious to all, since he said that there is only one way, what else do you have to say, since you are my subordinates, and you act without a military order, it stands to reason that it should be dealt with by military law. ”
Seeing that Yan Su was becoming more and more fierce, a soldier next to him immediately rushed up to speak for this man: "Your Highness, he is just excited for a while, and His Highness will ......." ”
"Momentarily excited?" Wan Yansu squinted at the kneeling man, raised his hand and pulled out the long sword on the waist of the guard next to him, and slashed directly at the man's neck, for a while, blood splattered, and people were stunned, is this still their pro-people and humble Highness?
Wan Yan Su's hand rose and fell, his technique was clean and neat, and the blood-stained long sword was re-handed to the guard by Wan Yan Su, but the guard's hands were already trembling to the point that he couldn't catch it steadily.
Wan Yansu looked around for a week: "You will blame me?" Blame me for being too ruthless? Too violent? But you all have to know, you are not alone, you are a group, what I want to do is not responsible for the life of one person, but responsible for the lives of all of you, there are dangers everywhere, we stay here or not, if we go the right way or go the wrong way, someone may die" Wan Yansu pointed at the man's corpse fiercely, "The next person like him who disobeys the arrangement will also be the same fate, if any of you have any objections, you can turn your head and leave, I won't blame you, but if you leave it behind, you must keep in mind the four words of military orders for me. ”
After Yan Su finished speaking, he glanced at Leng Changxi, and when he saw Leng Changxi's approving gaze, he felt a little more confident in his heart, and Ya Su immediately hugged Wan Yan Su's arm and said, "Your Highness, Ya Su is with you." ”
Wan Yan Su said "um", but his expression was not so pleasant, Qin Yunuan knew that after that time in the morning, there was already a crack in the relationship between Wan Yan Su and Ya Su.
For a long time, no one in the army left, and it was not until Wan Yansu shouted the last chance that three or four people pushed and shoved out.
"Your Highness, we all have children waiting for us to go back, and our subordinates ......."
"Needless to say, let's go."
These people paced away one after another, and when they passed by Qin Yunuan's side, they only heard Qin Yunuan say lightly: "Don't go back, keep facing east, see a cliff slowly climbing down from the cliff, don't take any other shortcuts." ”
I don't know if these three or four people heard it, but after they left, Wan Yansu took a deep breath and said, "The rest of the people, give up the horses, carry everything they can on their backs, and set off towards the sky." ”
