Chapter Seven: The Battle of the Waters (2)

That night, Hagi Niang had insomnia and repeatedly recalled her previous conversation.

The night grew darker and quieter.

Although Hagi Niang did not order the use of incense, a mist with a rich fragrance gradually swirled in the West Garden.

Hagi fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up, I realized that the bed I was lying on was not the one I had been sleeping on.

Hagi Niang was shocked, this is not her own room, where is this?

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a king-size tent with no moisture-proof mats, with the floor as the mat, the curtain as the wall, and the only furniture is the bed.

Did you cross over again?

Hagi Niang wanted to get up but found that her whole body was weak, she couldn't use any strength at all, and she only raised her fingers slightly when she concentrated all her strength.

"Girl, girl, are you awake?" The sound of picking.

Fortunately, she didn't cross over, Hagi Niang's heart was relaxed and more anxious, where the hell is this? What happened?

It didn't take long for Hagi Niang to resist the power of the incense and fall asleep again.

When I woke up again, it was late, the lamp was lit in the tent, Hagi Niang found herself lying in a warm embrace, fragrant and soft as a mother, and her confused little head comfortably rubbed against the people around her.

Wrong!

Hagi Niang suddenly had a thrill, turned over and jumped out of bed, and looked at the person holding her suspiciously, to be exact, a beauty.

Beauty sleeps like a begonia in spring.

Xie Yan's hair had completely spread out, maybe it was just washed, and it was still a little wet, casually tucked behind his ears and draped over his shoulders.

He put down the scroll he was reading, and raised his beautiful face to look at Hagi Niang with a smile, as if he was looking at a small pet.

"Xie Yan, you big liar! What are you doing with me!! Hagi Niang was so anxious that she jumped to her feet.

"It's really boring to live in the army, so it's better to take you with me." Xie Yan said calmly: "It's also more interesting." The tone is very natural and unapologetic.

Not fun at all! Don't put your own happiness above the pain of others at every turn, okay? Hagi was very depressed.

How was she brought out, and did anyone see her here? The family should have thought she was missing, or worse, that she had eloped with someone.

Do Cai Ling and Li's mother know about her current situation? They must be in a hurry.

"How long have I been here?" I have to go back as soon as the house is not in a big mess.

"One day and one night, you should be hungry, I'll ask someone to get you something to eat."

Hagi Niang swallowed her saliva uncompetitively, comforting herself that only when her stomach was full did she have the capital of revolution.

"Can you send me home, I'm so scared alone." Hagi blinked her eyes, revealing a helpless expression.

"I can't." Expected answer.

How can I go back, Hagi Niang pondered.

She didn't know what place it was, probably a military tent, the water was more than 100 miles away from Jiankang, and it was definitely impossible to run back by herself, so she could only coax him to send herself back.

In what way?

Desperately eating to eat him scared? Pestering him every day to annoy him to death? Screaming loudly to let others know that he hid a woman in the military tent?

Hagi Niang looked at his leisurely expression hesitantly, and always felt that it was unreliable, since he dared to arrest her and openly coexist with her, how could he be manipulated by her.

"Rest assured, it's safe here. Fu Jian is a very indecisive person, some of his advisers advocate forcibly crossing the river, and some are worried that crossing the river will change, and he will not be able to make a decision for a while, so he will not call for the time being. ”

Xie Yan paused, and added: "Even if he dares to call, I will be able to protect you." ”

Hagi Niang is not worried about her life, she is worried about her happiness in the second half of her life. Once Hagi Niang, an unmarried young girl, lives in the army without a name or a point, her reputation will be all over, and then the Zheng family will be happy, and the discredited women of the scholar clan can only be concubines, even if they are rationed stewards or small servants, there is no one to put a beak.

As if knowing what she was thinking, Xie Yan continued to speak leisurely: "I left a book for your father, and he knows that you are here with me." ”

This unreliable father, sure enough, is the same as she thought, knowing that Chen Jun Xie may accept his daughter, it is possible to beat gongs and drums with joy, it is impossible to refuse, and he will not take into account his daughter's innocent reputation and future happiness at all.

Hagi Niang sighed and gave up struggling. In this case, even if you sneak back, you will be knocked out by your father and sent over.

If it comes, it will be safe, anyway, Xie Yan will win this battle.

"What are you reading?" Hagi Niang calmed down and planned to chat with the beauty to make a good relationship.

Xie Yan looked at Hagi Niang's expression with great interest, and found that she quickly calmed down again, turning back into the well-mannered scholar woman she had when she first met, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but bend, revealing a satisfied smile.

"Warring States Policy."

Hagi Niang pursed her lips, thinking of the little Japan that took the fabricated Romance of the Three Kingdoms as a soldier book in later generations. The Warring States Policy is also a similar situation, the content is mostly legends and not very true, in the final analysis, it can be used as a novel to see and laugh. It is said that the military is treacherous, and it is too unreliable to use the Warring States Policy as a serious reference book for the handsome people.

But she didn't want to give up this opportunity to talk to Xie Yan, and after recalling a text she had studied before, she decided to start with a topic that interested him.

"Has the general ever seen the left pass? "Zuo Chuan: Ten Years of Zhuang Gong" has clouds, husband battles, and courage. One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. Fu Jian led an army of 800,000 people, and he had been stationed in Huishui for more than a month, and the sharp spirit at the beginning must have been worn down a lot, and the Qin army consumed ten times more food than our army, Fu Jian must have very much hoped to start the war as soon as possible. “

Xie Yan's calm expression, which had not changed for thousands of years, was slightly moved, and there were a few ripples in his calm eyes.

The Xie family did not start with military exploits, but generations of civil servants. This time, it was also because the emperor was too jealous of those veteran generals in the army, and Xie An was the prime minister of the dynasty, Xie Yan, as Xie An's sister-in-law, was hurriedly named an auxiliary general, and was driven to the front line to lead the army with his brother Xie Xuan.

Xie Yan has also read it, and he understands this simple truth very well. But Hagi Niang, a deep girl, can have these thoughts, and he is still very interested.

"Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Now that we know Fu Jian's thoughts, we already have the advantage, and with a little planning, we can tease it in the palm of our hands. ”

That's all it takes, Hagi Niang doesn't plan to continue to contribute. She smiled mysteriously and put on a "I won't tell you, you come and ask me" expression.

Xie Yan smiled, this kid actually dared to play with himself, it was really bold.

He didn't ask, nor did he show that he wanted to continue listening, but got up and grabbed Hagi Niang's hand, and said softly: "It's getting late, Aiqing and General Ben will go to bed together." ”

Hagi Niang's face turned uncontrollably red, she tried not to think about the various discordant images that appeared in her mind, and asked calmly, "Also, are there any other beds?" ”

"Only my brother and I collapsed in the entire station, and only my tent was the only one who dared not break in." There was a hint of smugness hidden in Xie Yan's usual flat tone.

Hagi didn't want to lie on the ground to sleep, and she didn't dare to ask him to give up the bed to herself, let alone run out of the tent to face unknown dangers.

She deceived herself and comforted herself, Xie Yan didn't look like that kind of anxious man.

Hagi Niang obediently lay back on the warm bed, lay down with her back to Xie Yan, and didn't dare to move.

After a while, I didn't see any strange behavior from Xie Yan, and Hagi Niang's stiff body slowly relaxed.

Xie Yan smiled softly, put down the book in his hand, and hugged her into his arms.

Hagi Niang was startled, struggling to run, but was hugged tightly by Xie Yan and couldn't move. Xie Yan lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently, and said in an undoubted doting tone: "Don't move, sister-in-law, just let me hold it obediently." ”

Hagi Niang even blushed her neck, but she was nameless and pointless, she couldn't be with Xie Yan like this.

Although she looks like a girl who is not yet in her reach, she understands everything in her heart.

She deliberately protested innocently in a delicate childish voice: "You have crushed me." The weak voice was pitiful and cute, as if she were an innocent little white rabbit.

Hagi reached out in vain to push him away, his beautiful long hair tangled with her loose green silk.

"Sleep." Hagi Niang breathed a sigh of relief, secretly despising the expectations in her heart.

Xie Yan lay side by side on the couch with her, and did not break his promise, he really just hugged her to sleep.
