Volume 1, Magic Oasis Chapter 19, Secret Talk in the Cave
Luling County, a Shanyue settlement, a cave in the back mountain.
At this time, the autumn breeze gradually rises, and the weather slowly becomes cooler, which is naturally much more comfortable than the hot summer. The sun had set in the west, and the remnants of the sun hung in the air like fire, looking a little desolate, dyeing the outside of the cave a patch of crimson. Autumn in the south is very different from the north, it is still lush and vibrant, but it is also a little less varied, and the beauty of the four seasons is missing.
The cave was originally inaccessible, but since the last time the villagers came here to take refuge, they have placed several pig iron sleeves in the cave, on which pine resin torches are inserted, for lighting purposes. At this time, all the pine torches in the sleeve are lit, illuminating the hole.
In the flickering light of the torches, two tall and graceful figures stood facing each other.
The two men were exactly the same height, and wore the same style of iron masks, one of them was wearing a black night suit, and the whole body was filled with a cold air, and the other was a jinghai cloth skirt, and the whole body was full of gentle breath. At this time, the air was still wafting with a leisurely and elegant fragrance, mixed with the slightly damp breeze blowing from the depths of the cave, and I couldn't tell what it was like.
One of these two is the ruthless general of the military god, and the other is the beautiful and kind Lin Shuangxue.
Although the two are the same height, the masks are the same, and even the fragrance on their bodies is the same, they give people a completely different feeling, as if one is a devil from hell, and the other is an angel who has fallen into the mortal world. The fact that two people with such a great contrast meet in the cave at the moment gives a strong sense of unreality.
I saw Xiaoxue take a step forward, and then bowed and saluted:
"Xiaoxue, see General Wargod."
The general of the military god nodded slightly, and then said to him gently:
"You're here."
When the general of the military god and Xiao Xue spoke, his voice became extremely soft, and even his eyes faded from their original depth, full of love. I saw the general of the military god slowly raise his arms, gently hold Xiaoxue's jade hand, stared at Xiaoxue's bright eyes, and said with concern:
"I heard that Sun Fu, the Taishou of Luling County, took advantage of Sun Quan's use of troops in a vain attempt to raise the army and level the mountains and Yues in the jurisdiction in one fell swoop. I feared for your safety, so I came to see you. ”
The current situation of Luling County was similar to that of other counties under Sun Quan's rule, and it was also a place where Han people and Shanyue lived together, so Taishou Sun Fu intended to completely eradicate Shanyue's power. And this time, it was the army under Sun Fu's jurisdiction that sent troops to attack Xiaoxue's village.
Xiaoxue shook her head and responded flatly:
"I'm fine, the Wu army has been defeated by us."
Although Xiaoxue said it extremely plainly, her eyes were full of sadness, and she was obviously still haunted by the tragic battle before. After all, it was not easy to win that battle, even Xiaoxue herself was almost killed in the fire, and the tragic scene after the war was also shocking. All this is like a huge net full of thorns, covering Xiaoxue's innocent and kind heart, and the stinging feeling cannot be calmed down for a long time.
The general of the military god seemed to see some clues in Xiao Xue's eyes, and she whispered:
"That's good......"
As soon as the words came out, he was interrupted by Xiao Xue, only to hear Xiao Xue ask uncontrollably:
"Why did you do this?"
Xiaoxue, who is gentle and kind on weekdays, instantly became very excited, which shows how much the battle not long ago had on her. The intelligent and shrewd General of the War God instantly understood what Xiao Xue was referring to, she stroked Xiao Xue's hair, and asked Wen Yan:
"Do you mean that we secretly helped Sun Quan suppress Shanyue?"
Xiaoxue nodded, her shoulders trembled slightly, she lowered her head not to meet the gaze of the general of the military god, and said with dissatisfaction:
"It took us years to integrate and control most of the Yue people, so wouldn't that be a waste of years of work? And you actually induced the Wu army to massacre the Yue people, is this matter too cruel? ”
General Junshen seemed to know that Xiaoxue would have this question, sighed deeply, and Wen Yan explained:
"It's all for our big goals! In the near future, Cao Cao's unification of the north is a foregone conclusion, so we must support Sun Quan in the south in order to deal with the threat from the north. If Sun Quan is not allowed to quickly pacify Shanyue and stabilize the internal situation, once Cao Cao sends troops to the south to destroy Sun Quan, even if we have control over Shanyue, it will not be enough to pose a substantial threat to Cao Cao. Besides, the people of Shanyue didn't know about the existence of the Heavenly Kingdom, and our people infiltrated into Shanyue in their own name, so they only had to send different people to infiltrate Shanyue again, and after a while, they would be able to control Shanyue again. ”
Xiaoxue was quick-witted, and naturally knew the meaning of the military god general, but she felt pity for the people of Shanyue in her heart, so she sighed sadly:
"But the massacre of the Yue people, I ......"
The general of the military god stared at Xiaoxue affectionately, stroked her hair with his right hand, and said gently,
"I understand your feelings, you have lived with Yamakoshi for a long time, and it is reasonable to have feelings. You are so kind, in fact, I was not willing to bring you to this filthy earthly world, but for the sake of the grand goal of the Heavenly Kingdom, personal sacrifice is inevitable. ”
As soon as these words came out, Xiaoxue was silent. She pursed her lips lightly, her gaze fluctuating violently, obviously preoccupied.
Seeing this, the general of the military god comforted him with kind words,
"Although we need to support Sun Quan now, we must also prevent Soochow from becoming big. Therefore, for the marginal areas of Sun Quan's rule, such as Luling County, where you are at the moment, you still need to deal a proper blow to Sun Quan's local forces. Therefore, I will not order you to turn your back on the Shanyue under your jurisdiction, and not only that, but I will continue to support you in leading the people to resist the rule of Eastern Wu and prevent the excessive expansion of Eastern Wu power. Then you will feel better. ”
With that, the eyes of the two converged again, and they looked at each other intently, and time seemed to stop at this moment.
Suddenly, the general of the military god hugged the soft and boneless Xiaoxue into his arms, and then gently took off the mask on Xiaoxue's face. In the face of the other party's sudden move, Xiaoxue behaved extremely obediently and did not resist at all, but the ups and downs of her chest began to become violent. Under the mask, Xiaoxue's face was beautiful and matchless, her fair face was flushed, and her bright eyes became a little blurred. Before Xiaoxue could speak, the Sakuraguchi of the general of the military god took the initiative to stick to her red lips, and the two kissed so affectionately.
As for her lips, Xiaoxue involuntarily snorted softly:
"Sister."
Then he slowly closed his beautiful eyes and quietly snuggled in the arms of the general of the military god, with a happy smile on his face.
