170 Iridium
The soldiers led her in front, she followed in the back, the meeting place was on the front line, Beigong Yu needed to observe the battle situation closely, although the two armies were still in a stalemate, no one wanted to break this temporary balance first, and they didn't know which side wanted to consume which.
Before the people arrived, they met Wuxi halfway and sent back to the tent camp on the grounds that Beigong Yu was discussing important matters not to be disturbed, but when he thought of being bored in the tent camp, he felt uncomfortable, so he wandered around again, and unconsciously came to a stronghold quite close to the place where the war was burning.
Beigong Yu's place of discussion was not far from here, she only planned to wait for him to finish the matter, and then ask him some things, but standing here, through the small fortress piled up with heavy sandbags, looking through the dust and smoke that filled the sky, there was an endless beacon fire, and the grass on the ground that should have been spring withered under the blazing heat.
The more she walked forward, the more inexplicable her heart palpitated, and the little soldier who had been following behind her finally stepped forward to stop her, "Niangniang, there is a battlefield in front, you can't go any further." ”
She paused, even if she had never added a real battlefield, she knew that even if she was fighting now, she would definitely not be able to hit her in front of her, but her heart was still pounding.
She had always been uninterested and uninterested in these battles, but at this time she couldn't help but ask, "How long has this war been going on?" ”
The soldier didn't react at once, "It's been almost two months." ”
"No, I'm asking how long the fight between my country and Vietnam has been."
"In recent years, small fights have been common, in fact, not only in Vietnam, but even on the border between Chaoyang and China."
The soldier replied respectfully, Xia Xiaoxiao replied slightly, the soldier looked at her carefully, and then retreated behind her, Xia Xiaoxiao looked at the sky in the distance with a pair of black and white eyes, and was slightly stunned.
A struggle between countries that had contradictions a few years ago did not start sooner or later, but it was also chosen at this time
I don't know how long she stood like this, until the smell of gunsmoke made her a little uncomfortable, "Go back." ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked back in the direction of the camp, and he didn't know what kind of strategy Beigong Yu was discussing, and he didn't have any intention of coming out for a long time.
There was a sudden loud bang behind him, and Xia Xiaoxiao's steps froze in place, and he reflexively turned his head to look
The distant silent sky behind him was dyed red by a firelight in an instant, and a huge mushroom cloud seemed to bloom in the sky, as if soaked in bright red blood, his eyes shrank fiercely, and the arrows that fell like a rain curtain after the red gunpowder smoke were flying towards this side with firelight!
"Mother, be careful!"
Xia Xiaoxiao watched the sharp arrow blade shoot towards him, but his body couldn't move a minute, or it was too late, but in the blink of an eye, the arrows like a curtain of rain fell in front of him
Iridium!
In a trance in front of her, she seemed to hear the familiar and unfamiliar name again, the rain curtain of arrows, and the dust and smoke spread by the firelight
"Not good! It's a Yue country raid! ”
"Inform the emperor quickly!"
"Someone! Protect the mother! ”
It seemed that all of a sudden it was all messed up into a pot of porridge, Xia Xiaoxiao obviously felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and his consciousness gradually blurred, and the picture in front of him suddenly changed, and the voices of those soldiers gradually disappeared, and suddenly changed into an unfamiliar voice from the bottom of his heart, "Ze Iridium, retreat!" His soldiers and horses are coming! ”
When she looked up, she saw a different scene
The same battlefield, the battlefield of thousands of troops, but it didn't look like the place she had just seen, and it was like being there, with guns, knives, and swords, the horses' hooves passed by her, and her whole body was pierced by severe pain, and she heard the voice constantly urging her, "Hurry up, go away, go quickly"
There seems to be a warm liquid flowing down the forehead on the head, and the bright red drips onto the slightly long eyelashes, and then it flows down the corners of the eyes, so heavy that I can't open my eyes, and my brain is completely unconscious. Where to go? And why go?
On the battlefield of the beacon fire and wolf smoke, there seemed to be a child's cry, sobbing, inexplicably, raising heavy eyes to look in that direction, with the light of the setting sun, mixed with the dazzling firelight, there was a figure behind the smoke curtain walking towards her
The fire, the endless fire, seemed to burn from the foot to the sight, the thick smoke made her unable to open her eyes, just subconsciously coughed, the surrounding heat had burned her, but the bottom of her heart was a rare calm.
She knew she was just dreaming.
It is no longer a battlefield, but an endless sea of fire, the air is not filled with the smell of blood, but a faint fragrance of plum blossoms, and it is strange that such a big fire, such a thick smoke, she can still smell the fragrance of plum blossoms in the cold winter but, this is the only one
In the tent.
There was a silence, Lu Wuxian lowered his head and glanced lightly, and a soldier was tremblingly kneeling at the feet of a man in ink to report the battle situation with fear, "Your Majesty, Yan Yanxing led the troops from the flank to bypass our army's sight and attacked by surprise, but fortunately, the reinforcements from Chaoyang Kingdom arrived in time, and our army did not suffer too many casualties." ”
After speaking, he didn't even dare to look up, only to feel as if his blood was not smooth from being suppressed by this long silence.
Beigong Yu was standing in front of the bed with a face that was about to drip ink, staring at the unconscious person lying on the bed with a haze in his eyes, without saying a word, but the cold in his eyes was getting worse and worse.
"How's it hurting?"
As if he hadn't heard the soldier's words at all, he walked straight to the bed, his eyes fell on the position where Xia Xiaoxiao's abdomen was wrapped with bandages, and his gaze sank again.
"Back to the emperor, although there is no injury, but"
Lu Wuxian was answering while packing up his things, and the person on the bed suddenly let out a slight moan, although it was not loud, but it was enough for the person who was standing in front of the bed to hear clearly in the tent that was a little depressed, Beigong Yu stepped forward, his eyes fell on his pale face, and his tone was not difficult to hear, "Xia Xiaoxiao? ”
Lu Wuxian was naturally pushed aside, and stood aside with the corners of his mouth pulled, just in time to see the person on the bed slowly open his eyes.
I don't know if it's a dream that has been done for too long or too short, everything I saw when I opened my eyes suddenly felt strange, and even the first time I saw Beigong Yu, I almost forgot who he was.
Handsome face, familiar eyes.
Listening to Beigong Yu calling her name over and over again, the memory of the moment before fainting slowly returned to her mind, stunned.
Beigong Yu saw that Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes were just staring at him quietly, and he didn't mean to speak at all, but his face gradually darkened, and there was a hint of imperceptible panic, but his tone was still indifferent, "Xia Xiaoxiao, are you stupid, deaf or dumb?" ”
Lu Wuxian said that it was not in the way, how could he not react at all?
She was just about to get up, but she was pressed down again by Beigong Yu, "Lie down and don't move, you will pull the wound." ”
Wounds? Yes, she was shot by an arrow, and subconsciously raised her hand to touch the wound on her head, and then put it on her forehead, and there was no imaginary gauze wrap, **naked, her forehead, she looked at Beigong Yu a little confused, and her voice was a little hoarse, "Am I not injured?" ”
In fact, what she was thinking was, Beigong Yu shouldn't be so stingy that she was injured and didn't even want people to bandage her, right?
What he heard was Beigong Yu's words of relief but with a bit of reproach, "You also know that you are injured?" Who gave you the courage to run so far? ”
said that it was a reproach, but it was not harsh, and it was a little spoiled and helpless in Lu Wuxian's ears, but Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned, not his head?
"Niangniang injured the left side of the abdomen, although it did not hurt the vital point, but the wound was deep and there was too much blood loss, so it is better not to get out of bed for half a month."
Lu Wuxian opened a prescription and handed it to the little soldier on the side, the little soldier retreated, Lu Wuxian glanced at the side of the bed again, and followed the medicine box and retreated, but after a while, there were only two people in the entire tent camp, Beigong Yu and her.
After such a short period of digestion, the scene of the arrow curtain in the sky resurfaced from her mind, and she had forgotten why she suddenly remembered to go to Beigong Yu and why she ran to the battle area in front of her.
She wanted to speak again, only to find that her voice was hoarse, Beigong Yu glanced at her, poured her a cup of tea, and helped her up.
"Got a wound?"
Beigong Yu hurriedly put down the cup and asked in a low voice, lifting the quilt to check her wounds, if Xia Xiaoxiao was still a little confused before, now the whole brain was shocked by the worry in Beigong Yu's eyes, and he raised his hand to stop his hand, "It's okay." ”
Beigong Yu stared at her pale face for a few moments before handing the cup to her mouth again, Xia Xiaoxiao was really flattered, fortunately, it was the abdomen that hurt not the hand, and the hands were offered to take the cup, but Beigong Yu avoided it, "Is the wound not painful enough?" ”
"It didn't hurt my hand."
Xia Xiaoxiao twisted her eyebrows, Beigong Yu sat on the edge of the bed, a pair of shrewd eyes had regained their indifference and cunning light, she sneered slightly, her hand hung down, and quietly drank the tea he fed to her mouth, the cool tea with a little astringency went down her throat and moistened her throat, only then did she feel that her throat was not as hot and uncomfortable as before, she asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?" Shouldn't you go and see how the battle goes? ”
Beigong Yu put the teacup on the small table on the side, "Don't worry, you shouldn't worry." ”
That being said, she had been injured by the sudden sneak attack, and she felt more and more that this place was unsafe, and she couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?" Why did someone call all of a sudden? Whose people? ”
Beigong Yu let her lie down again, and did not answer, but his eyes fell on her abdomen, and he sneered, "But in March, you can get yourself a whole body injured." ”
First to avoid him, and then to meet the assassin halfway, now even in the camp, this raid casualties are not large, she Xia Xiaoxiao can also be hit by an arrow, Lu Wuxian said that the arrow pierced deeply, if it was a few points deeper, the stabbing should be critical, and now she is still worried about whose person is raiding, is it worried that he will not be able to protect her in this war?
Heh, sarcasm.
It turns out that Beigong Yu can indeed guess her mind, so many people are not injured in Beigong Yu's territory, and the arrow misses her, how unlucky should she be?
Thinking about it so unwillingly, the effect of the medicine used by Lu Wuxian for anesthesia on his body seemed to have gradually passed, and the pain spread, "It's me who hurts, who made your defense so low?" Everyone has called the door, is it possible that you still want me to bury you here? ”
As soon as the words came out, she realized that there was a bit of rebellion, didn't she obviously curse him to death.
Beigong Yu sneered, "If I die in battle, as a concubine, you will naturally have to be buried with you." ”
Turning around, he called outside, and Wuxi immediately greeted him from outside, and he lightly ordered, "Move all the folds over." ”
"Yes."
Xia Xiaoxiao lay on the bed and blinked, Beigong Yu closed her eyes in front of the bookcase, she glanced at the sky outside, it was still blue and white, and there was a moment of illusion that she was just taking a nap for an hour or two, if it weren't for the heavy rain that was pouring outside now.
To say the least, a day and a night have passed.
Beigong Yu didn't speak, she naturally didn't have anything to say, just looked in his direction, the sound of rain outside covered his already shallow breathing, I don't know if he was really closing his eyes or sleeping, it was not difficult to see the tiredness, a thought suddenly flashed through Xia Xiaoxiao's mind, could it be that he had been guarding her bedside and waiting for her to wake up?
She couldn't help but shudder, and then threw out the idea of nodding her head.
The room was quiet, she stared at the curtain above her head in a daze, and slowly put her hand on her forehead, no injury, no scar, the pain she felt in her dream was too real, and the name Ze Iridium that appeared more than once.
After a while, Wuxi led the two of them to walk in with heavy layers of folds in their hands, Beigong Yu opened his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, everyone retreated again, and the whole process was still silent.
"What are you doing to bring all the folds here?"
Beigong Yu had already picked up one of the folds in his hand and began to annotate, and he didn't even sweep the corner of his eyes to the side of the bed, "During the days when you were injured, except for discussing with General Ji, I accompanied you." ”
Xia Xiaoxiao reacted for a long time before he realized what he meant by accompanying him, and his heart kept sinking and sinking, "You shouldn't stay here all day, right?" ”
"What," he said, his brow furrowed tighter than hers, "Don't want to see me?" ”
opened her mouth, one was a word that almost burst out, and swallowed it back the moment she saw Beigong Yu's ugly face, she didn't think Beigong Yu was so easy to speak.
The wound on his stomach was still aching for a while, and his face was still weak and white, so he woke up, and naturally he didn't feel sleepy, "Beigong Yu." She called softly.
"Hmm."
He responded lightly, but he didn't hear her words for a long time, Beigong Yu finally raised his head from the fold, Xia Xiaoxiao just stared at the top of his head with a pair of eyes open, not asleep, more like he was in a daze, or, thinking about something else.
Beigong pheasant?
Even if he was injured, even if he was under the same roof as her now, even if he was by her side now, was she still thinking about that person?
Sure enough, in the next moment, he heard Xia Xiaoxiao's somewhat weak voice, "He said that Wen Qiya is not dead. ”
This was self-evident to him, and he couldn't help but sneer and sarcastically, "Lying on the bed and hurting like this, and thinking about these messes, Xia Xiaoxiao, are you too thick-skinned." ”
"What kind of mess?" Where is this mess? If Wen Qiya is not dead as Beigong Pheasant Li said, then what is the news that came out some time ago? Isn't it very likely that the totem is still in Wen Qiya's hands? If you want to get that totem, Wen Qiya is a necessary starting point, and the person who wants things is him, why is it that now she has become a mess as soon as she talks about him?
"I just said, don't worry about what you shouldn't worry, don't mention him in front of me in the future, and don't want to hear anything about him from me."
The tone was indifferent, but it was not difficult to hear a little coldness from it, Xia Xiaoxiao was inexplicable, he didn't mention it, it was okay, he just felt that Wen Qiya's death was indeed a little strange, after he mentioned it, and then saw him sitting in front of the desk to review the folds, so he also became irritable, "Who is asking you about him?" ”
The body was already weak, and the negative words in such a tone fell on Beigong Yu's ears, but he wanted to cover it, Beigong Yu's face was even more ugly, and he was about to speak, but he saw that Xia Xiaoxiao had already pinned his head to the inside of the bed, holding the back of his head and facing away from him, and he was a little helpless, so he picked up the fold again and began to review.
He suddenly remembered that Beigong Langyan had said that Xia Xiaoxiao was a long-term person, and he couldn't help but tighten his hand holding it. Oh, the future between them will be the only time to come.
Beigong Yu really did what she said, except for important things during the day, she stayed with her the rest of the time, and she couldn't even recuperate with peace of mind.
Xia Xiaoxiao is not uninjured, nor has she not been unable to move in bed, she was forced to not even get out of bed when she was rewarded by Beigong Yu in the palace, but at that time, there was Qingyue in the palace who could talk to her and play with Xiao Baozi, she was born to be a master who couldn't sit still, she felt that if she continued like this, her injury would be healed, and she would not be far from being stupid.
It wasn't until the seventh day that she finally couldn't help it, the weather outside was clear, except for the surprise attack that day, I heard that it was Qiao Yishen's people who came later, so she fell silent, I am afraid that Yan Yanxing and Helian Chi have no big grasp of this battle, and there is no further movement for the whole seven days.
"Your Majesty, although there is no intention of attacking the Yue side in recent days, this war is no longer conducive to further delay, I am only worried that the Yue Kingdom is delaying time."
In the tent not far from Xia Xiaoxiao, Beigong Yu stood in front of the sand table, staring at the few small flags planted on the sand table, and General Ji and several soldiers standing behind him reported in a low voice, "After all, this is the boundary of the Yue Kingdom, and if it continues to drag on like this, it will consume too much of our army." ”
Beigong Yu's gaze fell on a place on the sand table and crossed the border of the country, and his fingertips nodded, "Our army is ready to attack in three days." ”
Coming out of the tent, Wuxi immediately greeted him, "Your Majesty, the palace has sent another batch of folds." ”
"Hmm."
He replied casually, but his eyebrows were still tightly wrinkled, seven days, there was no movement after the raid of Yue Guo that day, these seven days were indeed a little too quiet, since Helian Chi had the courage to declare war on Yue Hua, at this time, even if Qiao Yishen's men and horses arrived, it was not enough to be a reason to deter him, or said
The tent where he was discussing was not far from Xia Xiaoxiao's, and before anyone arrived, he heard a commotion.
He stepped up, and as soon as he came in, he saw Xia Xiaoxiao in front of the table making a gesture to remove the food that had just been placed on the table, and his anger rushed to the top of his head, "Xia Xiaoxiao, do you want to die!" ”
It was lunch time, she lay alive in bed for seven days, she already felt that the little injury on her body no longer needed her to lie down, she just wanted to go out for a walk, at least not in front of the white roof all day, who knew that Beigong Yu had already given an order to these people not to let her go out, and suddenly her temper came up, and she was on fire in her stomach, Beigong Yu's sudden scream frightened her to forget the movements in her hand, and she looked at him in a daze and took two steps in front of her, before she could speak, He picked them up and walked to the bed.
The little soldier who came in with the food saw Beigong Yu coming, his face turned white, he was sweating profusely in the cool sky, and knelt down with a puff, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, she has to go out, she refuses to eat, and the slaves can't stop it."
When Xia Xiaoxiao reacted, the person was already in his arms, he was angry, she was even hotter, and she kept struggling in his arms, "Beigong Yu, you let me go, if I am injured, you will treat me as a prisoner?" ”
She really couldn't get out of bed before, but now that she can get out of bed, why does she have to stay here? She was suffocated to death
How could Beigong Yu's strength be shaken by her? Beigong Yu glanced at her abdomen, and the bandages that had just been changed yesterday could be faintly seen under the thin clothes, and his voice was a little more stern, "You give me some points!" ”
was yelled at by him again, I don't know if I was really frightened by his somewhat fierce tone or really pulled the wound again, a little face immediately wrinkled, and she stopped talking.
Beigong Yu saw that she was still dancing with her teeth and claws a moment ago, and she couldn't even say anything at this moment, so he immediately put her on the bed, "I still want to run out like this!" He untied the belt around her waist with a gesture.
Her face wrinkled with pain, and she panicked again when she saw his movements, and her voice trembled thickly, "What are you doing!" ”
He didn't answer, but only ordered the soldier who was still kneeling on the ground in a deep voice, "Go find Lord Lu and bring the wound medicine." ”
Xia Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it was a change of dressing, this is a military camp, from top to bottom and from the inside to the outside, there are all male soldiers, not even a woman, she is injured in the abdomen, and she has to take off her clothes if she wants to change the medicine, although Lu Wuxian is a doctor, but how to say that he is also a man, so she is also used to Beigong Yu personally changing her dressing in the past few days, and she is not hypocritical at the moment, she took her hand back, she knew that her wound seemed to be pulled by her again.
"What's the fuss, do you wish this injury was left on you?"
She turned her face away, only to feel a chill in front of her, only to hear Beigong Yu's voice revealing a little anger, and distressed?
