The spring inside the tent is strong, but the outside of the tent is cold-eyed.

Jian Yan stood in the distance and stared at the dark tent, and he didn't know what was going on here, there was no sound or movement, as if there were two worlds separated by a tent, and he panicked for no reason.

However, the matter between the husband and wife cannot be seen by outsiders.

Lu Guoan's mind was naturally meticulous, and everyone outside the camp retreated to form an encirclement. The people of Dongchang only obey orders, so no one dares to say anything, and they dare not teach anyone to get close.

However, Zhao Wuwu entered Mu Baili's camp, and Su Xi, who was a close companion, obviously wanted to go through the motions, at least in front of Jian Yan, the Zhao family and the East Factory were incompatible, and they had to be more realistic to be considered comprehensive.

Glancing at the vegetarian who came from the cold face, Lu Guoan put on the posture that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. At this time, Lu Guoan, who is a thousand households in Dongchang, is on an equal footing with Su Xi, and even has to be a cut higher than Su Xi, after all, he is a person with an official position.

Looking at Su Xi condescendingly, Lu Guoan pulled his lips and smiled slightly coldly, "Why is Miss Su Xi here?" ”

"Lu Qianhu, is this knowingly asking? Or is it blind and blind? Su Xi sneered at each other and glanced at Jian Yan behind him, "Master Jian is guarding here, presumably our son-in-law is inside." ”

Lu Guoan snorted coldly, "It's not inside, this is the place of Dongchang, and I hope that Miss Suxi can see it clearly, don't be a brain fever and don't figure out the situation when the time comes, and harm others and yourself." ”

Su Xi didn't speak, but subconsciously clenched the cold sword in his hand. After a long time, she took two steps back and laughed twice, "Then I'll wait here, if our son-in-law is missing a single hair, I will never give up with your Dongchang." ”

"Suxi girl, what a big breath!" Lu Guoan no longer paid attention to anyone and still stayed at his post.

This play is really tiring, and while pretending, you have to have a good expression, so as not to be seen. The friendship on this wall is really not easy to maintain, and out of this capital and this Shangshu Mansion, the friendship has become a burden.

Inside the tent, this thrilling event is finally over.

Zhao Wuwu was lying on the soft couch with a dying breath, and Mu Baili was cleaning up for her with a gentle demeanor.

"What are you going to do with this ridiculous matter?" In the dark, her eyelids drooped slightly, and she really didn't even have the strength to look up at him. However, there are some things that should really be asked clearly, lest the people below ask about it, and when she asks three questions, others will wonder what she is doing in the tent.

"Someone from the Huanglan Imperial Court will come tomorrow, and when the time comes, we will go to the enemy camp in Helan and be escorted into the border by the Huanglan army." Mu Baili's hand paused, and through the darkness, he couldn't see the look on his face clearly.

But she could feel the hesitation and hesitation from him, so she had to sigh lightly, "At this time, there is still the intention of letting me go home, is it whimsical?" It's already here, and there's no turning back. ”

He walked away with the basin and stood with his back to her in the dark, "Hehuan, do you know that if there is any emergency, maybe I can't take care of you." But if I can't take care of you, my trip will lose its original meaning. He looked back at her and said no more.

Zhao Wuwu let out a long breath, "I know you are hesitant, but Mu Baili, between the bed brothers, I am your woman." Above the court, you and I are evenly matched. You only think that I am the former Zhao Wuwu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the prince and young master of the official worship of Yipin, and the others - I have my own measure. To get this far, I am already prepared in my heart that I will not be a threat to you and will not be a stumbling block. ”

He smiled bitterly, "Lord Zhao is really big-hearted. ”

"Only with a big heart can you achieve what you want, otherwise you don't know whose bed you are on at the moment at the age of nine thousand, can you get my turn? I don't know where I'm still calculating you, I want your life and your death! Zhao Wuwu sneered coldly.

When you think about it, it's true.

Zhao Wuwu looks sick, but she looks like a sick seedling when she does things, looking at her cutting the grass and rooting the Zhang family, as well as drawing wages from the bottom of the Xia family, this pile is not something that ordinary women can do.

is this man, compared to her ruthlessness and decisiveness, he is also inferior by three points.

She is used to doing things, she can attack, retreat and defend, and she must have been prepared to come here.

Mu Baili sighed lightly, "After all, there is nothing to worry about in this life, so if you have something to do, I will put my heart on you." Now that I think about it, I can't believe it. When the queen mother was alive, she once told me a sentence from your Daye people, saying that one thing descends one thing. There is always someone in this world who takes you to heart and makes you happy to surrender. ”

"Is it one thing to one thing?" She chuckled twice.

"Probably yes!" He straightened her clothes with her, then gently took her into his arms, letting her lie on his lap.

Zhao Wuwu closed his eyes, "This is a wasteland, the good luck is uncertain, I hope everything can be from people's wishes, and then you can return safely." ”

"I hope so!" He didn't say much.

There are still some uncertainties, and no one dares to assert them lightly.

After waiting for enough rest, Mu Baili let Zhao Wuwu out. Fortunately, Zhao Wuwu was sick at any time, so it was no big problem to walk out of Mu Baili's tent sickly at this moment.

Mu Baili personally sent her out, and the two of them walked side by side, each smiling without smiling, but the look in his eyes was a little inexplicably weird, and it was a little incomprehensible.

It seems to be an alliance but also suspicious, and it seems to be an enemy but not a friend.

The corners of his lips raised slightly, and Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly, "Then tomorrow, I will wait for the news of the Chitose Master." ”

Mu Baili raised his eyebrows and looked at her, smiling slightly, "Lord Zhao has come from thousands of miles away, it can be said that he has deep affection, and this seat does not dare to live up to the grace of the saint and live up to Lord Zhao's affection." ”

"I don't have any affection for you, it's just the relationship between knives and fish." She smiled coldly, "Chitose Master praised his own official, I'm really embarrassed." ”

"It's okay, Lord Zhao is thick-skinned enough, so he probably won't take it too seriously. The false praise of this seat, Lord Zhao listens to it. He glanced at the situation outside, "After a while, it is estimated that Lord Zhao's soldiers will have to lift this camp." ”

"The summer heat is coming, and it is cool to turn the bottom upside down. This is for the sake of Chitose Lord, why not? Zhao Wuwu walked slowly towards Su Xi, but his gaze did not fall on Jian Yan at all.

The complexion does not change, as usual, there is no difference.

Jian Yan stepped forward and looked Zhao Wuwu up and down, "Are you okay?" ”

"Thank you Lord Jane for your concern, this official is fine." Zhao Wuwu understated it, this dialogue between superiors and subordinates makes people listen a little harsh, but it also makes people feel at ease.

Jian Yan smiled bitterly, "It's okay, Lord Zhao has worked hard all the way, let's rest early!" ”

Zhao Wuwu pursed his lips and walked away.

"It seems that the relationship between Lord Jian and Lord Zhao is extraordinary?" Mu Baili opened his mouth coldly.

Jian Yan pulled her lips and saluted towards Mu Baili, "The lower official retires!" ”

Seeing the back of the two leaving, Mu Baili narrowed his eyes slightly.

Lu Guoan stepped forward, suspicious in his heart, "Master, this emperor asked Lord Zhao to come over to supervise the army, which is clearly distrustful, and he is probably worried that Lord will be in charge alone." This is understandable, after all, the Zhao family is out of the horse and can compete with our East Factory. But this is simply ...... It seems very strange, how could the emperor let this nameless person serve as the governor of the army and follow the army? ”

Mu Baili laughed dryly, "Now Jian Yan is not nameless, no matter how you say it, she is the princess's husband and the emperor's son-in-law." Counted, it's also royal. The emperor could let Zhao Wuwu come to supervise the army, and then let his son-in-law come over to accompany the army, you can imagine what this means. ”

"The emperor wants to take power, but he doesn't want to alarm us, he wants us to target Lord Zhao and relax our vigilance against Master Zhao." Lu Guoan is thorough.

Mu Baili turned around and walked slowly towards his tent, "The emperor was able to take the throne in his early years, naturally he had his inner thoughts, if he didn't have a little brain, I am afraid he would not be able to support the country's society in this big ye." Now that he is addicted to pills, it doesn't mean that he is a fool. ”

Speaking of this, Mu Baili sighed softly, his eyes slightly dark.

Lu Guoan nodded, "Now that the emperor has no heirs, he is still lax about our East Factory." If there are heirs in the future, I am afraid that the situation in the east factory will not be optimistic. ”

"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?" Mu Baili frowned, "Tomorrow's matter, tomorrow's talk!" After all, after today, we will know what the follow-up will be, whether it is life or death is just a reincarnation! ”

After speaking, he glanced back at the direction where Zhao Wuwu left.

In the dark of the night, there was nothing, and she had long since disappeared from his sight.

Mu Baili smiled bitterly, this girl-I think that if he makes a choice one day, once she makes up her mind, I am afraid that the nine cows will not be able to pull it back. Such stubbornness can't be changed in this life.

Once she's gone, there's no turning back.

It wasn't until he returned to his tent that Zhao Wuwu breathed a sigh of relief. Su Xi came in from outside, Wen was still guarding outside, leading the brocade guards to prevent anyone from approaching, "Childe? ”

"Is he gone?" Zhao Wuwu asked.

Su Xi bowed, poured a glass of water and handed it to Zhao Wuwu, "It's already gone, Doctor Wen doesn't allow him to approach, and he can't help it." You also know that Wen Gu's temperament, saying that if you don't let in, you won't let in, and Jian Yan can't do anything about him. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Wuwu chuckled twice, "This old man ......"

"Childe seems to have changed his mind about the past lately." Su Xi smiled.

Zhao Wuwu raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "If you want to ask, just ask directly, there is no need to test between you and me." ”

Hearing this, Su Xi's face tightened, how could she forget, who is her son-in-law? Her temptation had already been seen through by Zhao Wuwu, so it was inevitable that she was a little embarrassed, "Childe said this, I'm a little embarrassed!" ”

"You want to ask me why I have been so tolerant of Wen Shu lately, and even willing to let him know many things, and no longer hide from him or avoid him." Zhao Wuwu narrowed his eyes, "Actually, it is not easy for him to escape from the death of Northern Xinjiang alone, and he has escaped in the hands of Mu Baili for so many years!" ”

Su Xi tilted her head to look at her.

Zhao Wuwu took a deep breath, "Don't look at me like this, I'm telling the truth." ”

"Childe is not this kind of compassionate character, if this is the case, the old and weak women and children of the Zhang family, and the Xia family's bottom of the kettle, will not come from the hands of the son." Su Xi smiled coldly, "Childe only has one thing and won't lie." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhao Wuwu asked.

"Family affection." Su Xi sighed lightly, "In the past, only in the matter of the lady, the son would not lie. ”

Zhao Wuwu smiled bitterly, did not argue, and did not continue.

Su Xi also knew that he had touched on a topic that should not be touched, so he could only stop in moderation, "I don't want to spy on anything, but I just feel that sometimes the son is too tired to bear it alone." ”

"Actually, I'm not sure myself, but in the current situation, I just don't want to regret too much by then. If it does come true, I am afraid that I will have no chance of recovery. Zhao Wuwu sighed lightly, "Suxi, do you understand my entanglement at the moment?" ”

Su Xi nodded, "I understand." ”

"Ming'er estimates that he can negotiate peace, you tell him to go down and be fully prepared." Zhao Wuwu straightened his color, "I'm tired, let's rest early!" Other things, I don't want to think too much about. ”

"Good!" Su Xi bowed his head.

Now that you are on the barren border, safety comes first in everything, and other things should be left for later! Now, she really doesn't have the heart to think so much and think so completely.

No one slept well this night.

Whether it was Mu Baili or Jian Yan, or Zhao Wuwu, even if it was a reminiscence, they all felt panicked, especially when they saw the barren envoys, everyone's hearts hung high.

Mu Baili took people and went to the border of Huanglan with the envoys, and Zhao Wuwu sat in the carriage without saying a word, following behind Dongchang. As a prisoner, he must be with the boss, so this trip is the first time since the two of them have been together that they have worked together to live and die together.

Earlier, it was all a petty fight, even if it was a matter of Pinglin City, it was just child's play in their eyes. But this time it is a major national event, and if the two countries are at war, if it is done, it will be the hero of the country, and if it loses...... It will be doomed.

Zhao Wuwu's heart was also apprehensive, after all, Mu Baili did not come this time to negotiate peace. There are other purposes behind this peace discussion, and it is inevitable that there will be sudden accidents, and it is impossible to prevent it.

The car is bumpy, and the further you go, the worse the geography and climate become. When I arrived at the barren barracks, it was already full of wind and sand. At this time, at the barren border, the wind and sand made people's eyelids hurt, and their faces were cut like knives.

Fortunately, when she arrived at the barracks, the wind and sand had weakened a lot, and when Mu Baili looked back at her, she was squinting. It was probably the wind and sand that entered his eyes, and at this moment, Zhao Wuwu was standing aside and rubbing his eyes. The plain white skin, because of the erosion of the wind and sand, revealed several distressing red marks.

"Childe?" Su Xi stepped forward worriedly, "Go and get water." ”

"Not necessarily!" Zhao Wuwu's eyes were red, and he frowned at the people in front of him, "Don't disturb others, I'm fine." ”

"Good!" Su Xi took a deep breath and walked into the Chinese military tent of the barren army camp with Zhao Wuwu.

Everyone was greeted by the great general of the wilderness, Chi Duo, and the prime minister of Wen, Lord Li Yi. The two of them waited in the barracks early in the morning in order to welcome Daye's delegation into the court.

There is a difference between the language of Daye and Huanglan, so there is a language barrier with General Na Chiduo, but Li Yi, who is the prime minister of Wen, is particularly interested in Daye's culture, so he has become a bridge of communication.

Zhao Wuwu lifted the curtains of the car, looked at the scene outside, from the desert to the Gobi, and then from the Gobi into the bustle. Because there is a certain distance to go to the barren country, it is necessary to delay on the road for two days.

In the past two days, the people who have been separated by the Barren Lan Country are Mu Baili and Zhao Wuwu are also doing official articles, and they dare not have any contact with them, so as not to be seen by others.

This Chiduo is a military general, and his mind is not so delicate, but Li Yi seems to be elegant, but in fact, the city is deep.

Hurried to the barren capital, Zhao Wuwu's body was a little unbearable, with a plain white complexion, pale lips, and an extremely weak state. It was Chi Duo, who was a military general, who looked down on such a sick and weak literati the most, and used this lame language to sneer at Daye's prison army.

For the culture of the wilderness, Zhao Wuwu is involved, and she can understand what Chiduo is saying.

However, looking at the confused looks of these people around Zhao Wuwu, these barren sergeants thought that these people were deaf and blind, and they couldn't understand the words of the barren land, so they laughed.

Su Xi and Wen were worried about Zhao Wuwu's body, so they kept walking with the car.

In the early years, I was used to walking the rivers and lakes, and my language learning ability was naturally not weak, and Wen Su himself was a native of Northern Xinjiang, and the words in the northern Xinjiang area could basically be heard. Except, of course, for some interracial races.

Alien races have their own languages and scripts, and if they don't have too much contact with the outside world, outsiders can't understand them.

Wen was about to get up to argue, but was held back by Zhao Wuwu.

Su Xi glanced at him and motioned for him not to act rashly.

Seeing this, Wen Gu was stunned, and unconsciously lowered his voice, "Can you understand?" ”

"It doesn't matter if I can understand it or not, as long as you can understand it." Zhao Wuwu was meaningful, "Understand? ”

I didn't know much about it, but Su Xi understood, and nodded immediately. There are some things, even if you understand them, you have to pretend not to understand, only if you don't understand, you can have variables in the future, otherwise...... Once many things are set in stone, there is no room for turnaround.

So sometimes, it's good to be stupid when necessary. It's not that everything is strong, it's good.

Li Yi's voice came from outside, and he negotiated in absurd words, "General Chiduo, this is the envoy of the leading country, and I hope that the general can be cautious in his words and deeds, and don't incur the two countries to fight because of his own speed." ”

What Chiduo disdains the most is these crepe people, who just have a mouth, and they simply don't know anything about marching and fighting. What he couldn't figure out was, how could these people have the face to be in charge of the court as officials? Without them, these generals were born and died to defend the country, where would they have the lip to call?

"Hmph, these Daye people, keep saying that we are a barbarian state, and now we have to treat them politely, aren't they slapping themselves in the face?" Chiduo scoffed, "These so-called Daye people are the real tricky and cunning. ”

"People are always different, and if we are really so rude, then it is understandable to be called a barbarian state." Li Yi sighed lightly, "General, these two envoys are both dragons and phoenixes among the people of Daye, if they are slack, when the time comes, they will return to Daye, I am afraid it will not be as simple as the current tongue." ”

"That's even better!" Chiduo sneered, "Directly arrest them, threaten the emperor of Daye, if you don't agree, you will kill the capital." These people are all sick people, and it is a dream to compete with our wilderness. My barren iron horse is the first in the world, why not step on the rivers and mountains of Daye? Why do we have to negotiate peace? ”

Li Yi said, "Doesn't General Chiduo know that the war only brings defeat to both sides? It is clear that the people can avoid the flames of war, so why do we have to fight? General Chiduo, is it really that good that the war drags on? It has fulfilled your joy, but who will fulfill the people's peace and contentment? ”

Chiduo was stunned for a moment, and immediately flicked his sleeves, "I'm just a general, I only know how to march and fight, I don't understand your crepe things, don't talk to me about these nonsense." What we want is to be strong and strong, that is, to speak with fists. ”

Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, that's about it.

Su Xi whispered, "Childe, does this count as a show to meet a soldier?" ”

Zhao Wuwu smiled, and his heart was also helpless.

Xiucai met Bing, and he couldn't explain it clearly. Talking to the barbarian about the country and the people of Chang'an, it is simply playing the piano to the cow. It's also this Lord Li Yi who is a little patient, if he is Zhao Wuwu, he won't bother to speak at all.

Some people don't make sense, just give it a beating.

Isn't it a military general?

Then use the way of military generals to solve the problem, beat you convincingly, and dare to say that the soldiers are strong. No matter how strong the soldiers are, if the dragons have no leader, what do you use to fight? It's stupid to rush up and then annihilate the whole army.

Zhao Wuwu was silent, leaning against the wall of the car with a pale face.

Looking at her worriedly, "If you feel uncomfortable, just say it, let the carriage stop, and I'll give you some medicine." If it really doesn't work, it will give you internal strength. ”

"I'm fine." Zhao Wuwu's eyes narrowed, and his breath was slightly short, "I just feel a little tired." ”

"It's a bumpy ride, of course, it's not comfortable." Wen pursed his lips, and did not dare to leave her for a moment, for fear that she would faint in the blink of an eye, and when the time came, he would ...... sighed lightly, so careful just to protect it.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped.

There was a loud shout from Chiduo outside, "What's the matter?" ”

Su Xi walked out of the carriage to check the situation, and saw that there were still a lot of horizontal logs stacked on the road in front of him. Nowadays, the only way to pass is to move the beams out of the way, but it takes a lot of time.

"General?" Li Yi said, "Isn't there a second way here?" We can take a detour. ”

"It's an extra day to take a detour." Chiduo narrowed his eyes and glanced at the beams, "Let people move away, an hour at most." ”

Li Yi nodded, but he was a little worried.

Zhao Wuwu reluctantly got out of the carriage, and at a glance saw Mu Baili, who had already gotten off the carriage.

Seeing that Zhao Wuwu came down, his face was very pale, Mu Baili's face tightened slightly, and he understood in his heart that this girl's body was afraid that she would not be able to bear it. It's just that when he looked at the crossbar blocking the way, his brow tightened a little tighter.

After thinking about it, Mu Baili glanced at Lu Guoan.

Lu Guoan bowed slightly, quietly retreated, said a few words to his henchmen, and left quickly.

"Childe?" Su Xi frowned, "This ......"

"Tell me to go down, and all of you are on alert." Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly twice, and stroked the wheel of the car weakly, "I'm afraid someone is trying to stop us and not allow us to go to the royal city." ”

Su Xi was stunned, and immediately bowed and retreated.

Wen Gu took a deep breath, stood beside Zhao Wuwu with the cohesion of his palm, as long as there was any movement around, he would protect Zhao Wuwu first as soon as possible. Even if it was for his life, he had to make sure that she was thorough.

This is his life!

"You don't have to be nervous, no matter how bad it is, there are barren generals and Wen Cheng in the way, we don't have to be in the limelight." Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly, only to feel that his legs and stomach trembled slightly.

The barren air is exceptionally dry, and even though she is gradually entering an oasis now, the huge temperature difference between day and night still makes her suffer a little bit of wind chill, and now the whole person is weak and weak.

"I'm not nervous, I just need to guard you." Looking around vigilantly, "Those fatalities have nothing to do with me." ”

"Yes, you just need to guard me and guard the butterfly Gu." She whispered.

He was stunned, but he opened his mouth without any explanation. Some explanations are too heavy after all. It was enough for him to bear it himself, and there was no need to burden her psychologically.

But in the end, why did she sigh first?

Zhao Wuwu looked at Li Yi not far away, and this Lord Li Yi also saw the clue, so he asked as soon as possible, if he could change his route. It seems that in this barren court, there are also many people who oppose peace. After all, in a country like Huanglan, which swears everything by force, negotiating peace is a humiliation for the generals.

Hopefully, it's just a matter of thinking too much.

However, there are some things that are really unavoidable.

For example, this rain of arrows in the sky is a piercing "whoosh" sound, accompanied by the splash of blood, and a terrifying wail. In an instant, everything around me was in chaos.

Probably even Chiduo didn't expect that in the barren realm, there were still people who would dare to attack their army. This reckless man also thought clearly, this is not for himself, but for Daye's mission.

Immediately furious, Chiduo shouted angrily, "Hide! ”

Wen Gu immediately knocked down Zhao Wuwu and pushed her under the carriage.

The rain of arrows that flew from the carriage turned the carriage into a hornet's nest, and the sound of arrows piercing the planks was heard. Fortunately, Zhao Wuwu has already asked Su Xi to go down and let everyone be vigilant at all times.

Therefore, at the first moment of the incident, both Jinyi and the sergeants quickly looked for a hiding place, and the losses were naturally less than that of the barren army.

As soon as the rain of arrows hit, Mu Baili brushed his sleeves away the cold arrows in front of him, and turned back anxiously to find Zhao Wuwu's traces. When he noticed that Zhao Wuwu was stuffed under the carriage by the old man, his heart was slightly relieved.

When people are anxious or panicked, their first reaction is that they can't deceive people.

And this reaction was impartial, and it happened to fall in Jian Yan's eyes.

Jian Yan wanted to save Zhao Wuwu at that time, but he was a powerless scholar who couldn't do anything, so he could only get under the carriage nearby. As soon as I looked up, I just saw Mu Baili turning around and looking in the direction of Zhao Wuwu.

When he saw Mu Baili, he was all gentle, but his eyes were always indifferent and detached.

But this time, Jian Yan saw it clearly.

Mu Baili was really anxious, he was worried about Zhao Wuwu.
