When Heber received the message from the messenger, the hanging heart finally touched the ground. Because he was not worried about the situation in the barracks, he returned to the barracks after repeatedly admonishing Adjutant General Wang.

In this extraordinary period, there can be no negligence, if there is a slight mistake, it will lead to irreparable results.

"You remember it for me, treat the old general well, in the three days that I am away, you should strictly guard the city gate, guard yourself, and you are not allowed to accept any form of provocation and war without my orders, you can defend it to the death." Heber solemnly ordered to Adjutant Wang.

"Don't worry, General, I will definitely obey your orders this time."

"This is your chance to make meritorious contributions, if there is any more misery, be careful that I ask for your head." Herb put on a rare domineering look.

"No, no, there will never be any more mistakes, general, I'll send you out of the city, right?" Vice Admiral Wang sent Heber out the door.

"Stay in the city, I know the way back."

Vice General Wang originally wanted to send Heber out of the city, but when Heber said this, he had to stop, "Then general, you go slowly." ”

Herb returned to the camp and rearranged the camp's defenses, telling everyone to be vigilant and ready for battle. Although the other party happily agreed to exchange hostages, the soldiers did not tire of deceit, and Heber could not relax his guard.

For Heber, who has always been above board, he was a little uneasy when he was forced to use such a strategy.

The people who went to the border city to do internal response successfully passed the inspection at the city gate and blended into the border city, and Liu Shouwei completed the task and returned to the camp safely.

In the evening, as usual, when he finished dinner with Orange Creek, Orange Creek originally wanted to arrange a place for her, "Big brother, Guard Liu has come back safely?" ”

"Oh!"

Herb let out an absent-hearted "oh", and Orange Creek wondered if he had heard what he was saying, "Isn't today's meal to Big Brother's liking?" It looks like the eldest brother has no appetite. ”

"Hmm!"

"What about changing tents?" Orange Creek couldn't bear it anymore and directly picked out the problem.

"Oh!"

Damn! What's to be done? It's been oh oh ah, oh ah, are you listening to me? Orange Creek ate a few bites angrily, "Big brother, you're in a bad mood, we'll talk about changing your residence another day, are you unhappy, why don't you say it and listen to it, and see if I can help you?" ”

"Oh!"

Orange Creek waited for Heber to tell her heart, she wanted Heber to be happy more than changing accommodations, and she didn't want to see him look preoccupied. But Heber still sent her away with an "oh" word.

Orange Creek stopped talking, and just sat quietly, and Heber probably realized that he was abnormal, and came back to his senses from his contemplation, "I'm sorry! Brother Ran, I thought of something to fight, come and eat more. "Heber thoughtfully served vegetables for Orange Creek.

"Something?"

"Hey! It's all about war, and I'm a little uneasy. ”

"What's the matter? Let me hear it! ”

"Don't worry about it, it's not a big deal, maybe I'm thinking too much." Heber was always uneasy in his heart, the other party agreed so happily, Heber was afraid that the other party was cheating, he was afraid that he would lead his brothers to death.

"Okay, then I'm full, I'll go back first."

"Hmm!"

Still this word, Orange Creek was really speechless, and angrily walked out of Heber's camp, complaining all the way, "What the hell! They don't treat me as one of their own. ”

"Brother Ran, did you come back from dinner with the general again?" Wang Jinyin, who was lying on the bed and had not yet fallen asleep, had an envious expression.

"Hmm."

"You say how come your luck is so good that you can form a brother with a high-ranking general, why don't you think I have such shit luck? You will definitely have a bright future in the future. Wang Jinyin complained indignantly.

Orange Creek smiled absentmindedly in response.

"Brother Ran, if you want to talk about righteousness, but I call you a brother and a brother, you won't forget about me, a poor big brother, when you are developed in the future, right?"

Orange Creek sat on the bed and took off her boots, originally planning to go to the river to take a bath, but now she was in no mood to do so, "What do you say?" Brother Wang, in this unfamiliar place, you are the first friend I made, and you usually take care of me so much, I remember your kindness here. Orange Creek patted the position of his heart.

Wang Jinyin grabbed Orange Creek's arms excitedly, his move made Orange Creek very uncomfortable, she broke free of Wang Jinyin's hand and hid in her own bed.

"That's what you said, when you return to Beijing, you will marry my little sister-in-law back. It's best to say a few kind words in front of the general, and let me enter the palace to be a doctor or something. Wang Jinyin looked intoxicated, rubbing his hands back and forth, looking obscene.

"Oh!" Orange Creek didn't pay attention to what he said at all, and casually made a perfunctory appearance to him.

Hearing that Orange Creek agreed, Wang Jinyin fell asleep with a smile.

As Herb expected, the next night, there was an urgent report from the Sahasosa city that the hostages had been rescued.

The hostages were successfully rescued from the secret passage, and after Vice General Wang discovered the situation, he immediately searched the whole city under martial law and blocked the city gate. began to search door to door, and the other side also sent people out of the city to pursue, but in the end they found nothing, and the other party evaporated from the world like water vapor.

"I know how General Wuluo, who has never been soft, can be threatened so easily." When Herb got the news, he was having dinner with Orange Creek.

"Then what are the plans of the big brother now?"

Heber was no longer in the mood to eat, and got up from his stool, "Until now, I can only respond to all changes with the same." Heber wandered around a few times, frowning worriedly, "Guard Liu, you go and let the people in the border city pay attention at any time to see if they have rescued the old general back to the border city." ”

"Yes, General, I'll do it right away." Liu Shouwei responded and left in a hurry.

"Big brother, how did things develop to such an extent, didn't you say that it was to lure the enemy out? How did it become a hostage exchange? Orange Creek wondered why Heber hadn't done what she had planned.

"Hey! It's hard to put into words. ”

"Then the other party really rescued the hostages, and he will definitely not give up, and he will definitely attack."

"Yes! It's all a matter of time or time, it's the big brother who has failed your good plan. With a guilty look on his face, Heber tapped Orange Creek on the shoulder twice.

"Big brother, what do you say? Although I don't know much about this war, I also understand the truth that the world is unpredictable, and the most important thing now is to find a way to deal with it. Orange Creek looked up at Heber with worried eyes, and seeing Heber's solemn expression, Orange Creek had an urge to rush up and hug him, but her feet were raised, and she took her feet back again, which was not the behavior of two big men.

"One step at a time! The soldiers are coming, the water is coming, the war is like this, it's not too late, I'll send you back to rest early. Heber patted Orange Creek on the shoulder again, pretending to be casual and relaxed.

"No need! Just a few steps. Orange Creek said duplicitously.

"Let's go, I'm so polite to my eldest brother." Herb pushed Orange Creek, and the two of them went out of the tent together.

The two of them walked slowly under the moon, and walked outside the camp where Orange Creek lived without saying a word, "Brother Ran, I heard that the owner of the Zhou family's pharmacy is good at treating incurable diseases, no matter whether I can return to the capital safely or not, eldest brother begs you, let your master help me heal a person." ”

"Who?"

"A person who is very important to me, Tong Jia Wanting."

"What's wrong with her?"

"She has a strange disease, the same disease as my dead wife, and a fortune teller once approved my life for me, saying that my life is a lone star, and I will kill my wife and children. I didn't believe the words of these charlatans, but the first lady fell ill within two days of marrying me, and left me soon after, and now this one has grown up with me since childhood, but as soon as I said that I wanted to marry her, she became ill, and I was so afraid that she would ...... too" The two stood outside the tent, and began to talk in the soft moonlight.

Orange Creek touched his face, it turned out that Heber really had a wife, a lady who looked like Yingying, no wonder Heber didn't feel emotional for himself this time, it turned out to be because of this face, because Zhou Xi's face didn't look like the lady he loved deeply.

She suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart, it turned out that she had always been someone else's stand-in, but now she was desperate for this feeling that did not belong to her.

"It turns out that your real heart lies in this, what's so difficult about this, I promise to let my master go to treat Wanting."

"Really? It is rumored that Dr. Zhou of the Zhou family's pharmacy never treats the official family, can you really persuade your master? ”

"Of course." Orange Creek, who doesn't know the inside story, doesn't know Zhou Xi's father at all, and has such a hobby, so he assured Heber categorically.

"In that case, then I will send someone to escort you into Beijing tomorrow."

"No, I'm not going back, I'm going back to Beijing with everyone." When Orange Creek heard that Heber was going to send her back, she hurriedly refused.

"The current war is so dangerous, for your safety, you still have to listen to the eldest brother!"

"Big brother, are you doing it for my safety, or is it for your Wanting? How do you know that my master is the doctor you are looking for? Did you investigate me a long time ago? And I am also for this? At this time, Orange Creek's mood fell to a low point, she didn't believe that the Heber she knew was such a sinister and despicable person. She stared at Heber's face, unwilling to take her eyes off for a moment, desperately hoping that Heber would clear the doubts in her heart.

"No, the eldest brother married you, it was really because I fell in love with you, and I only learned afterwards that your master was the person I was looking for." Seeing that Orange Creek was angry, Heber was a little upset and eagerly explained.

"Big brother, you seem to have forgotten that there are still questions that have not been answered, is it for my safety or for my sister-in-law that you are so anxious to return to Beijing?" Hearing Heber say this, Orange Creek felt a lot more comfortable, but she still couldn't help but wonder if she had a place in Heber's heart.
