Chapter 245: The General Lost His Soul
General Bai Qi walked back from the outside alone, like a walking corpse, and there was no trace of life in the whole person. When the soldiers saw him, there were a few greetings at first, but when they saw his unreasonable appearance, no one dared to provoke him again, and he walked back to his tent alone.
Outside the tent, he stopped. A few more steps further he could step into his tent, but his legs were stuck to the ground, and he could not move forward.
Qin Ruyi seemed to hear something and suddenly ran out of the tent.
"White ...... General, are you alright? She stood in front of General Bai Qi with a worried face.
General Bai Qi's lips pursed, and after a while, he just shook his head, turned around and walked to the small tent where Yu Xiaohuan lived before.
Qin Ru thought that he was so depressed, and he was really not at ease, so he followed.
Bai Qi sat down on the edge of the bed, his eyes were empty and blank, and the whole person looked like a walking corpse, Qin Ruyi looked really distressed.
"Do you blame me?" Qin Ruyi's face was full of emotion, "Because I am playing with my temper, she ...... Had to go and change me back. ”
General Bai Qi's eyes slowly focused, turned to look at Qin Ruyi, and said lukewarmly: "It's good if you come back." ”
"Are you so disappointed because of her?" Qin Ruyi's eyes gave birth to crystal clear beads, and they were about to fall off.
Bai Qi didn't answer, and his eyes were empty again.
Qin Ruyi was a little anxious, bit her lip, and said, "Actually, I heard that someone went to rescue her last night, and then she disappeared." ”
She carefully observed Bai Qi's face, trying to see any answer from Bai Qi's face, who knew that Bai Qi's face was unmoved, she couldn't see the clue at all.
She had no choice but to justify herself: "Now, maybe no news is the best news." A smart woman who can write thirty-six strategies must have a way to get out. ”
"How do you know she wrote thirty-six plans?" General Bai Qi looked at her again, his eyes full of indifference.
"This ......," Qin Ruyi flickered, "I accidentally heard someone talking behind my back." Why, is this also a secret? ”
Bai Qi stopped talking.
Few people knew about this matter, and few people who knew about it could be completely sure whether Yu Xiaohuan had really written a complete thirty-six plan.
His last hope for her had been completely extinguished.
"I'm going to rest." He said coldly.
Qin Ruyi was stunned, and quickly said gently: "Okay, then I won't bother you." ”
After Qin Ruyi left, Bai Qi lay stiffly on the bed and pretended to sleep.
Everyone thought he was like he had lost his soul, but no one knew what he had been through, and no one dared to ask. They only knew that their generals had worked day and night in a hundred battles, and they had never been so downtrodden as they were today, and they really couldn't think of anything else that could crush their generals.
Bai Qi slept motionless in the tent for a day, and did not get up until evening.
When he came together, he asked Zhang Ge to bring him gruel and large pieces of meat, and specially instructed Zhang Ge to send him double portions of large meat.
When he had eaten and drunk to his heart's content, he packed up the rest of the meat.
"General, what is this for?" Zhang Ge asked in a low voice.
"What do you say?" General Bai Qi threw the wrapped meat into Zhang Ge's hands, "Under the stone wall in the northwest, remember?" ”
"Remember!" Zhang Ge replied immediately.
"Send it to her." General Bai Qi commanded, "Be careful not to be discovered. ”
"Could it be ......" Zhang Ge was overjoyed and quickly took it back. Okay, my subordinates will do it. ”
General Bai Qi stood in front of the camp tent, watching Zhang Ge's back in the distance, for a long time, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of evil smile, and then turned around and flashed back into the camp tent.
In the morning, Yu Xiaohuan said that only abnormality can attract attention.
General Bai Qi usually looks overly self-disciplined and meticulous, and it is too easy for him to be different from usual.
As soon as he flashed back into the camp tent, the right lieutenant general appeared from behind a camp tent, and then rode a fast horse alone and walked out of the camp following in the footsteps of Zhang Ge.
Zhang Ge remembered that General Bai Qi told him to be careful, but as soon as he left the camp and galloped on horseback, he was full of thoughts about Yu Xiaohuan's situation, so he suddenly left the general's advice behind.
General Bai Qi sat calmly in the camp tent, and was about to make a cup of tea to quench his thirst, when Qin Ruyi came over with a teacup.
She put the teacup on the table, poured out a cup of hot tea from the smoking teapot, handed it to Bai Qi, and said, "General, have a cup of tea." ”
General Bai Qi did not refuse, and took the cup in Qin Ruyi's hand in a daze.
He blew hot air, took a sip, and asked expressionlessly, "When do you plan to go back?" ”
Qin Ru suggested that he take the hot tea he delivered and drank it, and as soon as he saw the joy in the corners of his eyes, he heard him say such a beautiful sentence, and that touch of joy couldn't help but droop, and when he raised his eyes again, a pair of autumn waves were shining. It's a pity that it's tears.
"Why are you doing this to me?" Qin Ruyi asked with a sad face, "Is it because of her?" ”
Bai Qi was silent. He really didn't know if she really thought he didn't know anything, or if she was deceiving herself and pretending not to understand.
"I thought you wouldn't change your treatment of me." Qin Ruyi said, and two lines of tears dripped down.
Bai Qi thought to himself: Why don't I think so?
But until now, he still can't bear to say it. After all, he is a strong and cold man on the outside, but indecisive on the inside.
Qin Ruyi let his tears fall like pearls with broken threads, but he didn't cry out a single sob.
She looked at Bai Qi's expression that was indifferent to her crying, and a smile suddenly bloomed on her face, and asked, "Is it because of her?" ”
"You just take it." General Bai Qi really didn't want to continue to involve this topic with her, so he said.
He was afraid that he would not be able to bear it, and he seemed to have heard the irritable voice in his heart, and he happily, justifiably, frantically, and desperately, poked out everything he knew, and saw how she could pretend. But he couldn't, after all, he had her in the purest position in his heart, and he didn't want to ruin the beauty of the past with his own hands.
Qin Ruyi's smile turned cold, and then she cried loudly.
"But I've been waiting for you for two years!" She cried.
Bai Qixin said: Why am I not?
Qin Ruyi then said: "How can you say that empathy and don't fall in love is empathy? ”
Bai Qixin said: You should know better than me, why can't I fulfill my promise and go back to marry you? Now the facts have been witnessed, and it turns out that you are also on his side. He's your father, and maybe you don't have a choice, and I can't blame you for that. But neither can I disobey the duty of a soldier. We are not fellow travelers.
