In the blink of an eye, the end of summer has turned to autumn, and the early autumn has arrived, and the wind on the grassland is even more cold and biting.

After Lin Qingzhi and Xiao Mufeng walked out of the Khitan camp together, they led the remaining more than 5,000 soldiers to the direction of the southern Jin Kingdom, and as for the dozen or so Khitans who were captured, they were released at the request of Yelu Guyi.

Lin Qingzhi raised her head and looked up at the scorching sun with her hand on her forehead, her eyes couldn't help but be strong and her eyes were like a crescent moon.

"Zhi, what are you looking at?" Xiao Mulin asked in surprise when he saw that Lin Qingzhi had been staring at the blazing sun.

"I just feel that today's sun is different from usual, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to see this bright daylight again, but it's a pity that the bow and crossbow were searched by the Khitans." Lin Qingzhi retracted her raised gaze and shook her head.

"Fortunately, you're fine, just go back and let Murong Gongzi send another one." Xiao Mulin replied with Lin Qingzhi's words.

"I don't know what happened to the team of soldiers and horses led by Liu Zhiyuan." Xiao Mufeng looked at the green grass in front of him and said worriedly.

"Since Yelu Gu'e can know our plan, if the 20,000 soldiers and horses led by General Liu encounter the Khitan army, I am afraid that they will be more than lucky, and I hope they have not encountered it." Lin Qingzhi couldn't help but feel worried in her eyes when she heard Xiao Mufeng's words.

"One more thing, if someone in the capital knows that our identity was leaked to the Khitan, then it is understandable, but even if he has the ability to reach the sky, it should be impossible to know our detailed troop strategy and marching direction, right?" Xiao Mulin, who was riding on a horse, showed a hint of coldness on his face.

"You also noticed it, so when I planned to rescue Ah Zhi with you, there was no one left around, and when I went to the enemy's camp just now, what was wrong?" The corners of Xiao Mufeng's mouth raised a trace of arc, but the smile did not reach his eyes at all, and his eyes were full of coldness at the moment.

"These 20,000 elite soldiers are carefully selected, and even if you say that you want to break into the enemy's camp to save people, the remaining more than 5,000 soldiers did not show timidity, but after you went to the camp, one or two of the captured Yelu Gue's family members did not look very natural."

"These people are not Yelugue's family, we have fallen for their tricks, think about it when there are no prisoners of our whereabouts have not been exposed, since we brought them to be exposed, until we stepped into the enemy's trap." Lin Qingzhi is colorful.

"I really shouldn't have just let these people go, they almost cost us our lives, and they also caused the second brother to eat a poison pill from the enemy." Xiao Mulin gritted his teeth, and slammed it on the saddle in anger, and even the horses under him seemed to feel his anger, neighing and exhaling twice to show an uneasy look.

"It's also forced by the situation, don't worry, Ah Zhi has been reading medical books since she was a child, and you have also seen that she has been treating the injured along the way, and her medical skills have been perfected, and she will definitely be able to develop an antidote." Xiao Mufeng knew that Xiao Mulin also cared about himself, so he patted Xiao Mulin on the shoulder to show comfort, and he was afraid that he would make Lin Qingzhi sad again, and he glanced at Xiao Mulin.

Just as a few people were talking, they only heard a plop, and two soldiers fell directly from their horses due to physical exhaustion, and when everyone stopped to look, the two soldiers had already fainted and were unconscious.

Xiao Mufeng ordered the army to stop and recuperate temporarily, and sent two soldiers to check around to see if there were any herdsmen's dwellings nearby.

Lin Qingzhi walked quickly to the wounded soldier and rolled up his sleeves to check the wound, only to see that the two people who fainted were pierced on the calf and belly, and the blood coagulated, after two days, the wound had festered and pus, and the other person was injured on the shoulder, and the wound had festered, the weather at the end of summer was already hot, and the wound was not treated, and there was no food to fill the stomach for the past two days, even if these soldiers were physically strong, they would not faint.

Originally, he led 20,000 soldiers, but after tossing, there are now only more than 5,000 soldiers left, among which there are still a small number of wounded remnants.

Although Lin Qingzhi also brought some bruises and life-saving medicine powders and pills when she left, she also lost them after the injuries of the last battle, but fortunately, although the Khitans tied her up, she didn't take the medicine away.

After cleaning the wounded wounds, he took out the porcelain bottle containing the medicine, sprinkled the powder on the wounds, and bandaged the wounded soldiers.

After this time, the soldiers also knew Lin Qingzhi's identity, so when bandaging the wounds, the soldiers' expressions were not as natural as before, but they were a little embarrassed, but one of the military doctors who accompanied them was unfortunately killed in battle, there was no way Xiao Mufeng and Lin Qingzhi said that there were some shy soldiers who were willing to let Lin Qingzhi bandage, but when bandaging, the usually iron-clad man actually became shy and shy.

In their lives, they were afraid that they would not have the opportunity to say a word to the young lady of a big family, not to mention that the dignified county lord helped them bandage their wounds with his own hands, so they were stunned after learning that Lin Qingzhi's identity was the county lord, and even some soldiers' wounds were purulent, Yin Yin flowed out of yellow or red viscous liquid, and even they couldn't bear to look at it, but Lin Qingzhi didn't dislike it at all, but patiently helped them clean it up and bandage it gently, although these soldiers were not good at words, but the emotion and gratitude in their hearts could not be hidden no matter what.

It was getting dark, and the two soldiers who had been searching had returned, bringing broth and goat's milk from the herdsmen's homes.

Although the war between the Khitan and the Central Plains was chaotic, but the herdsmen were indeed hospitable and warm, two soldiers who took off their military uniforms went to the herdsmen's house, just in time for the herdsmen to return from grazing, heard the two soldiers say that one of their companions was injured, so they invited them to live in the tent, and finally the two soldiers politely refused, and then cooked the broth and goat's milk, and took out the dry food to be eaten for the next day of grazing for them.

Hearing the colorful description of the two soldiers, several people couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, the Central Plains and the Khitan have been at war for many years, and the two countries have deep grudges, but the people are still simple and kind, and can live in harmony.

After eating the broth and goat's milk dry food, the soldiers camped on the grassland by moonlight, and a few bonfires lit up the dark grassland, looking at the night sky far-reaching, the stars in the sky were shining brightly, the breeze on the quiet grassland was blowing, and everything in heaven and earth was silent.

Xiao Mufeng and Lin Qingzhi, who were lying side by side, did not feel sleepy when they looked at the stars from afar.

"Are you thinking about your aunt again?" Xiao Mufeng looked sideways at Lin Qingzhi, his eyes as dazzling as glass in the dark night.

"Well, Brother Mu, when I was young, I heard my father say that after death, people will become stars in the sky and look at living relatives, so I have always liked the night, because I can see my mother at night, but I never knew which one was my mother, and when I grew up, I knew that my father lied to me at that time, but I really miss her......"

"I miss my mother too, but I know that only if I live well, my mother can feel at ease, so Ah Zhi, we all try to live well and live like our mother and aunt want us to be, okay?" The smile on Xiao Mufeng's face was as gentle as the warm sun in winter.

"Good...... When the war subsides, you take me to see the vast desert, the vast sea, the sunrise of Mount Tai, and the steepness of Shu, this picturesque five lakes and four seas, I want to see it more, sometimes I really envy to be like you and my brother, born as a man, you can go to the end of the world with a sword......" Lin Qingzhi's mouth and eyes were full of envy and longing.

"Okay, Brother Mu promised you, at that time, we will travel all over the world, I will take you to the end of the world with a sword, find a picturesque place, build two huts, and go to the end of your life with you from now on, and from then on you will be peaceful......"

Xiao Mufeng and Lin Qingzhi's eyes were full of tenderness and charm, but they didn't know that what was waiting in front of them was not the distance between life and death, but indeed the insurmountable light years between the two of them......
