Although this military camp is not as good as in the palace, some news can always spread, these days Xia Xiaoxiao lives in Beigong Pheasant Departure, and he often stays there in the middle of the night, he has heard some of it, Ji Lingnan saw that Xia Xiaoxiao didn't make a sound, and couldn't help but glance at her, and said tentatively, "He...... Didn't do anything to you, did it? ”

The drowsiness gradually disappeared, Xia Xiaoxiao sat up, leaned side by side with Ji Lingnan, and sighed lightly, "He's not that kind of person." Literature┡ Scholar Ω.*."

These days, although he came to lie down every night, he only lay down, at most he just took her hand and fell asleep, and then when she fell asleep, he left alone in the middle of the night, but when she woke up every morning, the first person she saw was always him.

He is like this, he never forces her, unlike Beigong Yu, who has the cheekiness to stick it on her.

Ji Lingnan sneered, "Men are all inferior roots, but he still has some concerns." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't bother to say this to him again, turned his head to look at him, Ji Lingnan was clearly injured more seriously than her, and it was not a day or two after being tortured, but the injury recovered faster than hers, and the scars on his face had begun to gradually form scars and fade away.

"Why did you fall into his hands?"

Xia Xiaoxiao stared at him and asked straight to the point.

Ji Lingnan didn't expect her to ask this suddenly, no, it should be said that Xia Xiaoxiao should have asked the moment she came in.

"Don't you know pretty much everything?"

Ji Lingnan glanced at her with a little weakness, but when he saw the expression on Xia Xiaoxiao's face, he sighed helplessly, and still took out the paper that had been crumpled in his hand under Xia Xiaoxiao's scrutinizing gaze.

"6 The news from Traceless is coming, I'm afraid it's not that simple for you to appear here."

It was what he was watching when Xia Xiaoxiao and Beigong Pheasant left just now, but it only made Xia Xiaoxiao glance at it, Ji Lingnan glanced at the soldiers who were guarding outside the tent, and got out of bed.

"What do you mean?"

Xia Xiaoxiao watched as he lit the candle and burned the entire yellowed paper in his hand to ashes.

"That day was before my father and I personally made a plan to attack Nanming, after I attacked, he attacked before, but I didn't expect this matter to be broken by Beigong Pheasant and broke our army's chess."

Ji Lingnan told her little by little about the situation that day, and now the more she thinks about it, the more strange she feels, "But that day, Beigong Pheasant Li did not order the capture of our army at all, and the person who gave the order was Princess Nanming." ”

"Chu Muruo?"

Ji Lingnan nodded, "I'm afraid it's all rumors that spread before, thinking about it, it is impossible for Beigong Pheasant to leave that person really because of you to give up such a good opportunity." ”

"What chance?"

"Now in Nanming Kingdom, Chu Boyuan's tyranny has affected the people on the four shores of the two lakes, riots and riots are everywhere in the country, Chu Boyuan's army is almost unable to suppress it, and on the other side, it is the voice of Beigong Pheasant."

Xia Xiaoxiao was shocked, even if she guessed it at first, she was not sure, "Civil strife? ”

"Well," he clapped his hands and nodded in response, "Although Beigong Pheasant's former power in Gudumen has withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, that power still exists, and Chu Boyuan must now rely on the power in his hands to barely suppress those forces that rebelled at the border pass." ”

"In that case, then Chu Boyuan declared war on Beigong Yu at this time, isn't that looking for death?"

Although Yue Hua has not yet recovered from the losses he lost in the previous station with Wu Guo, and at the same time, he has lost a lot in the first station with Wu Guo, but this does not mean that there is really no way out in the hands of Beigong Yu, not to mention, even at this time, the power of the one hundred and eighty iron cavalry in the hands of Beigong Yu has not been used.

Ji Lingnan turned his head to look at her, his eyes were a little solemn, "It's Beigong Pheasant." ”

From the beginning, everyone only thought that Beigong Pheasant Li just had a position as a concubine in the Nanming Kingdom by relying on Princess Chu, and he held so much real power in his hands, no one ever thought that he would be able to transfer the power on the rivers and lakes to the military.

Xia Xiaoxiao gasped, so from the beginning, he was known as the Gudu Sect's withdrawal from the Jianghu Sect, but it was only for today?

"But what does all this have to do with me?"

Ji Lingnan glanced at her, then returned to the bed and lay down, "I don't know, I just received the news that 6 No Trace, Beigong Yu already knew that you were detained by Beigong Pheasant, and Beigong Pheasant Li seems to be investigating this matter in the past two days." ”

In other words, including his capture to the Nanming military camp, it was not Beigong Pheasant's order at all, at best, he just knew.

As for knowing and why not stopping it, it goes without saying, a win-win situation, Beigong Pheasant has no reason to stop it.

On the one hand, he won Beigong Yu, and on the other hand, he won Xia Xiaoxiao.

But Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't understand that Beigong Pheasant had not been at ease with the position of power from the beginning, even if it was for the antidote in Chu Boyuan's hands, but it would not be to this extent, not to mention, he had promised her before he came here this morning, and he would do what she wanted.

What she wants, a couple for a lifetime, and a free trip to the rivers and lakes, all of which are compatible with the power on the throne.

At night, the sound of cicadas can be heard from far and near.

The inky blue starry sky was dyed with specks of bright color, and no matter how bright these mortal fires were, they couldn't reach the sky.

There was a cool breeze seeping in outside, Jiang Zhi glanced at Xia Xiaoxiao, who was still lying in front of the window looking at the sky outside, and took a coat from the side and put it on her shoulders, "Erxiao, it's not early, you can rest first." ”

Because Xia Xiaoxiao's legs and feet are inconvenient, and there are few women in the barracks, Beigong Pheasant Li specially asked Jiang Zhi to come over to serve, in fact, there is not much to serve, she basically only stays in the tent camp day and night and does not go anywhere, so she went to Ji Lingnan today and will come back soon.

Xia Xiaoxiao hummed lightly, but still didn't mean to put her clothes together and sleep, in the summer, the stars in the sky also showed their heads, and she suddenly said, "Ah Zhi, how are the girls in the camp?" ”

"It's all okay, my mother didn't go to the camp to look for people anymore, and I heard that the master of the horse asked people to send us back to the village a few days ago."

She said lightly, just the girls who had been injured before......

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't speak anymore, in the barracks, no matter what, Beigong Pheasant should have boosted morale, she didn't know if he let the girls go, it really didn't matter, or it was for her......

Jiang Zhi glanced at her, and sat down beside her helplessly, "Erxiao." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao turned around and quietly listened to her whisper, "I heard from the people in the barracks that Princess Chu has been sent back to the palace by the master of the horses. ”

Jiang Zhi saw that her expression had not changed, so she continued to say cautiously, "Although I don't know what kind of relationship you have with the Horse Master, but just by virtue of the Horse Master's meticulousness towards you in the past few days, it is obvious to everyone, do you know that when the Horse Master comes here every day, when he sees your appearance, he is always distressed?" ”

What does she look like?

Xia Xiaoxiao reached out and touched her cheek, even she didn't know what she looked like now.

She closed her eyes, not wanting to think about the things that had happened in the past few days, nor the reason why she was here, so she only said lightly, "You also said that he is your master of the horse." ”

Beigong Pheasant left, silently, even the steps were light, Jiang Zhi was startled, hurriedly stopped, secretly glanced at Xia Xiaoxiao, said a word and hurriedly retreated.

One moment he spoke for this man, and the next he was too scared to do it.

Xia Xiaoxiao realized that these people, from Beigong Yu to Murong Tianlian, she was afraid, Beigong Yu was afraid from the bottom of her heart at the beginning, and Murong Tianlian didn't know when that guy would stab her in the back, but only Beigong Pheasant Li, it seemed that she had never been afraid of him from the beginning, and even she was entangled by herself, she didn't think that such a gentle Beigong Pheasant Li, maybe others were also extremely afraid.

For example, Chu Muruo, occasionally, she would also see a trace of fear of Beigong Pheasant in her eyes.

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

He walked in through the doorway, closed the window before sitting on the edge of the bed, his fingertips on her wrists, and after a while said, "Your body has always been bad, and now you need to take care of it for a while, the night is cold, and next time you should go to bed early." ”

As he spoke, he asked her to lie down and covered the quilt for her, just when he was about to withdraw his hand, his hand was suddenly held by Xia Xiaoxiao, he glanced at her, and smiled lowly, "What's wrong?" ”

"When I'm healed, can you send me and Ji Lingnan back?"

She whispered softly word by word, her voice soft and pleading on a night like this.

Beigong Pheasant listened to her quietly, and then raised his eyes to look at her, those eyes had a faint dim light in the candlelight, and his thin lips opened lightly, "Do you want to go back to Yue Hua, or do you want to go back to Beigong Yu's side?" ”

He spoke normally, as if he was just asking her a very ordinary question, and even there was no displeasure in his eyebrows.

Xia Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, but she didn't know how to answer at this time.

He called people in, and several of the women who were supposed to be in the camp came, and they brought water and towels, and he stood by and watched quietly, and then sat down beside her.

"Now whether it's by Beigong Yu's side or in Yue Hua, it's not too peaceful, when you're injured, let's talk about this again, okay?"

The maid handed him the towel, and he took it and wiped her hands one by one, gently and gently.

Xia Xiaoxiao let him wipe her, and she couldn't hear any unhappy or unwilling emotions in his tone, just as calm as usual, as if no one could see his true emotions in his eyes.

It's not too peaceful, is something happened to Yue Hua, or is something happening to Beigong Yu?

No matter what happened, she knew that Beigong Pheasant would not hurt her, but for Beigong Yu, she didn't dare to ask, and she couldn't ask.

Xia Xiaoxiao quickly fell asleep, and Beigong Pheasant sat on the edge of her bed as usual and waited for her to fall asleep deeply, and then looked at her sleeping face that was not restless.

He didn't understand why Xia Xiaoxiao hated Beigong Yu so much in the past, why she would regard that place as her home now, and he didn't understand why she had tried so much to escape from the imperial city, and now she would ask him that she wanted to go back.

He wanted to sleep with her here tonight, she didn't know, but he knew that during the nights that he was by her side all these days, she would always talk in her dreams, and in her dreams, she would shout the name of that person.

His hand swept over her cheek over and over again, the scar on her side face that was whipped by Chu Muruo had not completely faded, spreading from under the eyebrow bone to the cheeks, it was not very ugly, but it also had some impact, she should have a delicate face.

Beigong Pheasant's slender fingertips slowly sketched the shape of the scar on her face, and her eyes revealed real distress, so back and forth, as if she was addicted and couldn't put it down, Xia Xiaoxiao seemed to feel a little itchy, slapped the back of Beigong Pheasant's hand, and muttered in a sleepy nasal voice, "Beigong Yu, don't make trouble." ”

Then he rolled over and fell asleep again.

Beigong Pheasant's hand paused in mid-air, and his eyes sank very quickly.

He withdrew his hand, stood up, and turned to walk out of the tent.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Anzi hurriedly walked over, "Master." ”

"How's it going?"

Beigong Pheasant looked at the smoke that gradually filled in the distance, and gradually twisted his long eyebrows, and an extremely violent emotion spread from the bottom of his heart.

"As expected, it was Chu Boyuan who did it."

As Anzi handed over a key with a green jade color, Beigong Pheasant Li took it, and the green key lay quietly in his hand, exquisitely clear under the moonlight, as if exuding a mysterious light, Anzi continued, "Some time ago, someone used this key to make a deal with Murong Tinglian, and Murong Tinglian's purpose was just to bring Miss Xia to Nanming Kingdom, and this key should have something to do with the imperial tomb of Nanming Kingdom." ”

"The key to the Imperial Tomb."

Beigong Pheasant said lightly, put the key in his arms, and said in a deep voice, "Can you find out the purpose of Chu Boyuan wanting to introduce Xia Xiaoxiao into Nanming?" ”

An Zi shook his head, "Chu Boyuan has done this very carefully, I'm afraid that it is not much different from Helian Chi's purpose at the beginning, Miss Xia, there should be something they all want." ”

Beigong Pheasant's breath sank, as if even the air was a little colder, and in the distance, the sound of a horn gradually sounded.

What Helian Chi wanted was a piece of skin on Xia Xiaoxiao's body, but it was obviously a misunderstanding, the human skin that appeared on the totem was clearly on Xia Yingxi's body, and Xia Yingxi was Murong Tianlian's person, so that Xia Xiaoxiao fell into Murong Tianlian's hands when he fell into Murong Tianlian's hands, and it was obviously just Helian Chi's plan to fall into Murong Tianlian.

But which one is this playing now?

"What about Xia Yingxi? Someone found? ”

As soon as Beigong Pheasant left the words, a firelight gradually appeared in the place that was previously filled with gunpowder smoke in the distance, and the sound of the horn broke through the sky, and his eyebrows sank.

Anzi was also anxious when he heard the shocking drumming sound coming from afar, "No, since Yue Hua fled, she disappeared without any news," he paused, "I heard that even Murong Tianlian is looking for her." ”

"Is there anyone in this world that he can't find?"

Beigong Pheasant Li sneered, the sound of the battle roar finally came from far and near, the sky suddenly became fiery red, and a soldier hurriedly ran over and knelt down on his knees, "Master, there are enemy troops attacking ahead!" I'm afraid that the men and horses guarding the front will not be able to resist! ”

Beigong Pheasant Li looked at the blood-stained soldier in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, is it finally here.

Anzi also glanced at the soldier who was in a hurry, and his thick eyebrows also wrinkled, "Master, what should I do?" ”

"Lead an army of 100,000 and go to fight the enemy."

Beigong Pheasant gave this sentence, turned around and re-entered the camp tent, Anzi did not dare to delay, and immediately turned around and went to the military camp to give a military order.

Xia Xiaoxiao had already woken up, as if he had just been woken up, his long messy drape was scattered over his shoulders, and his eyes looked at the Beigong Pheasant who walked in, "What's going on outside?" ”

Beigong Pheasant Li didn't intend to hide it from her, took off her clothes from the hanger on the side, slowly put them on, and whispered, "Yue Huajun is attacking." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned, Yue Huajun, that is, Beigong Yu?

Even the last of my sleepiness dissipated, and I listened to the sounds of the noise that soon became loud outside, and the neat footsteps of the soldiers as they came out, mixed with the crisp sound of weapons.

Her hands and feet were inconvenient, and she couldn't wait for the maids to come to serve at this time, so he personally dressed her, glanced at her tightly wrinkled eyebrows, and whispered, "Don't worry, I can't hit this side for the time being." ”

She watched him bow his head and tie her clothes one by one, as if he had never done anything like this, so that the placket was tied wrong from the beginning, and he paused, as if he was slightly embarrassed, and then untied it again.

"I can ...... myself"

She was just about to come by herself, but he grabbed her hand in mid-air, and he looked up at her and smiled, "It's okay, I won't be wrong for the same thing a second time." ”

The same mistake, just like when he handed her over to Beigong Yu.

Xia Xiaoxiao's hand was reluctantly retracted.

She sat on the edge of the bed, and he crouched in front of her, his eyebrows lowered, his long, curly eyelashes casting a butterfly-like shadow on his fair face, and his expression was attentive.

looked in a trance, as if she was still in her twilight pavilion, when Beigong Yu had to dress her, he wouldn't even speak softly like Beigong Pheasant, she wanted to come by herself, so he raised his eyes and glared at her, and then the clothes he had just put on were taken away by the colored fox.

"Alright."

The red that had just risen on Xia Xiaoxiao's face was pressed back by her, Beigong Pheasant got up and helped her up from the bed, and outside the door, several people had already come to urge.

"Don't you have to go?"

The curtain outside was lifted, and she looked outside, past the dense white tents nearby, and the sky in the distance at night was filled with white smoke that could not see the sky, and the red light like fire almost drowned out the full moon in the sky.

"Well, no, it's not safe outside now, I'll stay here with you."

There was a lot of noise outside, he knew that she couldn't fall asleep anymore, so he ordered someone to find some small talk books out of nowhere, and he also knew that she liked to read those words about the rivers and lakes the most.

She sat on the chair and looked at the book, he sat behind the bookcase and looked at her, occasionally Anzi came in to report the military situation, he arranged one by one how to fight, how to send troops, where to guard, and which direction to enter the palace.

From start to finish, it was carried out in an orderly manner.

Xia Xiaoxiao was holding a book in her hand, which she had read, about a pair of happy enemies on the rivers and lakes, a story she particularly liked, she didn't see the end at the time, the book in her hand was the end, but she couldn't read a word.

She hung her head, her eyes fell on the dense small characters on the book, and listened to Anzi quietly report on the side, "Emperor Yue Hua first led 20,000 horses to outflank our army from the two wings of our army this time, and there were 30,000 horses blocking in front, it seems that he wants to force our army to retreat." ”

Beigong Pheasant was quiet, there was a map spread out on the table, he took a pen and seemed to draw a few strokes on it, and ordered someone to take the map with him.

Beigong Yu's soldiers and horses attacked, he didn't seem to be worried about what threat the people brought by Beigong Yu would pose to him, and he didn't seem to have taken Beigong Yu to heart, and even when he received the news of the arrival of Beigong Yu's army at Ji Lingnan's place this morning, he was only briefly surprised, and he wasn't even panicked.

Too confident.

Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't sit down.

"I want to go out for a walk."

She buttoned up the notebook and put it on the small table, stood up, and limped about to walk out.

"The war is raging outside, and the smoke is rising everywhere, and your feet are inconvenient and you will be injured."

Beigong Pheasant Li walked around from behind the bookcase, took her hand, and whispered.

Outside, suddenly another huge cannon fire resounded in the sky, and Xia Xiaoxiao was almost frightened by the voice, "That...... Then I'll go find Ji Lingnan......"

"Shinoshino ......"

Beigong Pheasant frowned and looked at her, Xia Xiaoxiao thought that he was finally annoyed, but he didn't want him to just look at her, and finally sighed helplessly, "Okay, I'll let someone send him over." ”

It's not that she went over, but let Ji Lingnan come over, but, no matter what, it's better than just the two of them alone, she will be uneasy, and she can't help it.

Although Beigong Yu and him are brothers, they are also enemies, and the relationship between the two brothers will not ease because of her, not to mention that it has been entangled for so many years, she is worried about Beigong Yu, but once she asks, she doesn't want to see Beigong Pheasant have that hurt look on her face.

He is a god-like man, his every move is impeccable, and there should be no loss in his eyes, even if his eyebrows are slightly twisted, Xia Xiaoxiao also feels that it hurts people's eyes, and then spreads to the heart.

There are some things she can't control, even if Beigong Pheasant is in front of her now, she can't help thinking about Beigong Yu, but she doesn't want to hurt anyone because of this, in the final analysis, she is actually afraid of guilt, afraid of self-blame, in fact, it's just her selfishness.

Ji Lingnan arrived soon, and when he came, he was still chained in his hands.

Beigong Pheasant glanced at him, and the soldier stepped forward to untie the chains on his hands and feet, the injuries on his body were almost healed, and his walking steps were also more steady than when he was injured, and when he saw Xia Xiaoxiao, he glanced at Beigong Pheasant who was standing next to Xia Xiaoxiao vigilantly, and stepped in front of Xia Xiaoxiao in two steps, and then his eyes fell on Beigong Pheasant's hand that had been holding Xia Xiaoxiao, and he tightened his eyebrows with great displeasure.
