Chapter 41: The Oath

On the morning of the second day, facing the rising sun that had not yet risen, a group of people waited for them to get on their horses and set off, after a night's rest, the marching speed of the army was not slow, and in the evening they could already faintly see the majestic mountains outside the Jimen Pass.

After more than a month, everyone who had experienced life and death battles was thrilled to return to the country, and even the eyes of the most seriously injured people burst with hope and joy.

The fireworks that had been agreed upon were released, and the guards above the canyon outside the pass lit a beacon fire, and half an hour later, Lin Qingzhi, Xiao Mufeng and Xiao Mulin safely passed through Jimen Pass and headed for the direction of the Jin army's station.

Although it was only a little more than a month, for Lin Qingzhi and Lin Chengde, it was indeed a situation like a few years, and everyone's return made everyone excited.

"Zuo Xiang, this has been going for more than a month, which makes you worried." Xiao Mufeng hugged his fists and saluted, and Lin Chengde slapped his palm on Xiao Mufeng's shoulder, signaling him to discuss in the account.

"Miss, you're finally back, Rongyue thought it was ......" Rongyue, who was wearing a men's dress, cried and hugged Lin Qingzhi before she had time to think about it, provoking the soldiers on the side to look at Rongyue like monkeys, after all, the brothers were excited to see each other, but the dignified man didn't flick his tears, and he cried with tears, and he showed contempt in his eyes.

"Zhi'er, you are too bold and reckless this time, and you left without saying a word, you were too arrogant in the past, and you became more and more willful. I'll teach you a lesson when I'm done! Lin Chengde furrowed his eyebrows and glared at Lin Qingzhi and said sharply.

This loving father has never spoken to himself so sharply since he was a child, it seems that he is really angry this time, and Lin Qingzhi can't help lowering his eyebrows and not daring to look directly after hearing this.

"Don't blame Ah Zhi, if it weren't for her this time, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to come back." Xiao Mufeng saw that Lin Chengde spoke softly to his daughter differently, and also persuaded him.

There is a second prince who speaks for his daughter, Lin Chengde doesn't have much to say for a while, it's just that he has not been able to sleep for this daughter for so many days, and now seeing that she can return safely can be regarded as a heart that has finally landed, although there is some anger on his face, but the expression in his eyes has softened.

"Okay, don't cry, I promise I won't leave you alone next time, okay? Even if I want to run, will I take you with me? Lin Qingzhi joked with the crying pear blossom with the rain Rongyue, and Rongyue was also amused by her words.

When he learned that Liu Zhiyuan had returned to the camp with only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses three days ago, a solemn atmosphere lingered among everyone, Lin Qingzhi, Xiao Mufeng, and Xiao Mulin glanced at each other and did not speak again.

Several people told Lin Chengde in detail about what they had experienced during this time, and when they learned about the agreement reached between Xiao Mufeng and Yelu Gue, Lin Chengde's eyes were even more worried. Of course, Xiao Mufeng did not tell Lin Chengde about taking poison, after all, in order to stabilize the army's heart now, one less person knows about it, and there is more protection.

"Although reaching an agreement with Yelugue is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger, there is really no better way to do it in the current situation." Lin Chengde stroked the crude teacup and said worriedly.

"The soldiers have been fighting hard for three months, they are tired, and there is not much food and grass left, but I just hope that Yelugue will keep his promise and not attack again in a short time." Xiao Mufeng looked at the moonlight outside the tent and said lightly.

"If that dog thief dares to tear up his promise, let me capture him alive and eat him alive!" Yuan Chun, who was burly on the side, clenched his teeth, and said word by word with his thick eyebrows upside down.

"According to my daughter's view, that Yelugu is a smart man, and his irritability and irritability are just an illusion deliberately created by him, after all, he has too much military power, and those in power will always be jealous, otherwise my strategy will not work, and he should not easily break the contract." Lin Qingzhi grabbed a wisp of green silk scattered on her sideburns and said softly.

"What about General Liu? Why don't you see him come out? Xiao Mulin asked.

"Since his commander broke through and returned to the camp, he has said little, and he has not eaten water and rice in the first two days and only lay on the bunk, and a young general who came back together said that they were attacked by Khitan soldiers and escaped after ten thousand deaths, and General Liu blamed himself for burying the lives of 20,000 comrades because of his own decision-making mistakes, so it became like this." Lin Chengde said that there was also pity in his eyes.

Hearing Lin Chengde's words, everyone was silent, and after a while, Lin Qingzhi's eyes showed a hint of confusion and said, "Father, can my daughter go to General Liu's tent to check one or two?" ”

Without waiting for Lin Chengde to reply, Xiao Mufeng hurriedly said: "Ah Zhi, you better go back to the tent to wash and rest first, now that your identity has been revealed, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to go to the general's tent at night, just let me and the third brother go." ”

"Okay, father, then Zhi'er will go wash and rest first." Lin Qingzhi blessed Lin Chengde, then went out of the tent and pulled Rongyue to a small military tent next to him.

The red glow in the early morning sky reflects the snow-white clouds clustered into a brocade-like sky, the autumn sun dyes the maple leaves on the fragrant mountain outside Jicheng, clusters and clusters, red like fire, yellow like gold, a small leaf condenses into a tree bright red, a tree bright red condenses into a beautiful scenery in the middle of the mountain.

Lin Qingzhi stood among the red leaves in the sky, her snow-white skirt spread out behind her, proudly independent like a fairy, the morning sun fell from the leaves and reflected the dazzling light on the transparent crystal in the hair, and her beautiful face made people can't take their eyes off it.

When Xiao Mufeng saw Lin Qingzhi in the maple leaf forest, there was no trace of surprise in his eyes, he knew that Lin Qingzhi, who loved autumn the most, would be here, because the red maple leaves on the mountain could only be seen in Jicheng, and they would return to the dynasty after today's war, in addition, he had a major decision to share with Lin Qingzhi, thinking of this, his heart was excited and urged Xiao Mufeng's pace to walk towards the white shadow even faster.

"Guess who I am?" Lin Qingzhi only felt that her eyes were dark, her eyes were covered by a pair of cold hands, a warm breath was in her ears, and then there was a gentle voice that was all too familiar.

"Brother Mu, I guessed it was you a long time ago." Lin Qingzhi raised her hand and grabbed those cold hands and said with a smile.

"Also, no one in this barracks dares to play this game with you except me." Xiao Mufeng pretended to have a disappointed expression.

"No matter how many people there are, I can guess which one is you at once, believe it or not?" There was infinite affection in Lin Qingzhi's beautiful eyes.

"Xin, I want to tell you something, I wanted to tell you when I was sure, but I'm so happy that I want to share it with you first." Xiao Mufeng's face was paralyzed in the past, and his eyes were full of sincerity and joy.

"What's the matter?" Lin Qingzhi asked.

"After I return to the court, I want to ask my father and the emperor to marry you and me!" Xiao Mufeng looked at Lin Qingzhi with his eyes, until Lin Qingzhi's face was as red as a red leaf in the sky, and he didn't answer, but turned around and ran into the rain-like maple leaves, like a forest elf.

"You haven't said if you want to!" Xiao Mufeng followed Lin Qingzhi's footsteps and followed in stride.

"For the rest of my life, I am willing to be with you, if you don't give up, I will be with you!" The crisp voice resounded through the maple forest, and Xiao Mufeng, who heard the words, had a smile as bright as starry eyes on his face, and ran quickly towards the white beautiful shadow......
