"Don't be afraid, it's me."

The voice was slightly hoarse, but it was very familiar to Ji Yanran, and when she heard him speak, Ji Yanran was completely awake.

The tall figure took the lamp from Rong's mother's hand, took a few steps forward, and his face met Ji Yanran's eyes.

This clarity is not as vague as in a dream.

After so many days of separation, she finally saw Li Yong again.

He was thinner than when he left the capital, but he was not haggard, his eyes were as clear as the stars in the sky, perhaps he was in too much hurry, his body was stained with a little dust, he was still wearing armor, and there was a short knife and a long sword at his waist, and he was obviously in a hurry.

The place where she was was already some distance away from Li Yong, how many miles he had traveled.

Ji Yanran subconsciously turned her head to look at the sky: "Why are you here, what time is it?" ”

While speaking, Li Yong was already standing by the kang, and Rong's mother also bowed her head and retreated.

Li Yong's whole person looked very calm: "I'll leave in half an hour, and I can return to the border town at dawn." ”

It's really crazy, tossing around like this all night, where will I have the energy to go into battle tomorrow, and I will face life and death on the battlefield, and I can't be careless.

Ji Yanran couldn't help but say, "Is there a temporary truce?" ”

Li Yong shook his head: "We must take several cities in the Khitan in one go, so that they will not dare to raise troops easily within two years." ”

"Then you still come here......" Ji Yanran's words came to an abrupt end.

Li Yong stretched out his hand and hugged her in his arms, his movements were very gentle, but his arms were very strong, the armor on his body was a little cold, but his breath was so warm that she couldn't help but palpitate.

"As long as I think that you are close to me, I can't help but ......," Li Yong muttered in a low voice, "Fortunately, the battle was won today, the Khitans retreated thirty miles to rest, and there were still General Wei and the Protector in the border town." ”

Ji Yanran's palm was on Li Yong's chest, although he was separated by heavy clothes, it seemed that he could still touch his heartbeat, fast and urgent, completely different from his calm and restrained.

What was different was the smell of his body, the strong smell of blood, which reminded her of the wounded soldiers in the guard, and Ji Yanran wanted to raise her head from Li Yong's arms to see if he was injured.

Thinking of this, Ji Yanran moved uneasily, but Li Yong was mistaken, let go of his arm, and smiled slightly: "The smell on my body is not good." ”

Ji Yanran shook her head: "Why are you still wearing armor." ”

"It's so convenient," Li Yong said, "I don't know when there will be a war." ”

What Li Yong said was very simple, and the eyebrows were very natural.

Ji Yanran got up and turned the light on a little brighter: "It's hurt, take it off and let me see." ”

Li Yong didn't move: "It's not a big deal, Hu Yu has already seen it." ”

"Li Yong," Ji Yanran raised her head, "Do you think you can get away with it in front of me?" ”

There was still a wound on his face, although it had healed, but he could see the danger at that time, and it only took a little bit more to hurt his eyes.

After fighting with Jiang Ran, he came to Hebei Province non-stop, and after so many soldiers were killed and wounded, how could he be unscathed. Wearing it this way keeps her from worrying, and allows her to forget about the wound and pain for a while.

Li Yong is desperate.

"Wait a little longer," Li Yong looked at Ji Yanran, his expression was full of certainty, "The situation will be different in a few days at most, and then you can breathe a sigh of relief, I told the soldiers that they will never remove their armor before winning a big victory." ”

In the dead of night, he would often think of Yanran in the military tent, and then he would feel that the war was very difficult, and he would want to go back to Beijing to see her immediately.

"You can't fight outside without a fighting spirit, if I see you again, I will feel relieved, and I will face a strong enemy immediately, and I can't have the slightest slack." Li Yong stretched out his hand and gently stroked Ji Yanran's sideburns.

His fingers obviously became a lot rougher, Ji Yanran took Li Yong's hand and turned it over, and sure enough, he saw that there were blood marks on the palm and the tiger's mouth, which was the result of fighting hard with a sharp blade.

"Are you really okay?" Ji Yanran and Li Yong looked at each other.

Li Yong nodded, Yanran was concerned about him, her serious appearance, slightly frowning, made him can't help but want to hug her again.

But he was afraid that she would really make him fall in love.

Li Yong said: "Do you know why I left home and went to the barracks? ”

Ji Yanran knows some of the inside story: "It's because ...... Daddy. ”

Li Yong said: "After my mother and my clan were harmed, my father collapsed, I don't know how to persuade my father, and I don't know how to turn the situation around. But I know that I have to think about it, even if my physical condition is not suitable for learning martial arts at that time, and even if I practice martial arts, I may not be able to bring down the Jiang family, but I still have to try, because I will never be a coward who survives, so ...... Don't worry either. ”

Li Yong's voice changed: "I will help you find out your life experience together, maybe you will remember something in the future, it doesn't matter, I won't stop you because I'm afraid...... But you also have to know that I will not give up at any time, because you are my Li Yong's wife. ”

A smart person like Li Yong naturally knew her complicated mood at this moment, and guessed why she went to Dingzhou, maybe she expected that Miss Ran would say those words to her.

"I ......"

Ji Yanran was just about to speak, Li Yong immediately leaned down and kissed her lightly on the forehead: "You must be careful, let people tell me if you have any news." ”

Ji Yanran nodded.

Mother Rong knocked lightly on the door, and then said, "The porridge has been cooked." ”

Li Yong commanded, and Rong's mother immediately brought it in.

The hot porridge was placed in front of Ji Yanran.

Ji Yanran was a little surprised, and she could see the crystal clear rice in the light.

"Hu Yu said that you have been running around for days and your body is uncomfortable, but you don't want to tell others," Li Yong picked up the bowl, scooped up a spoonful and blew it gently, "I asked for some rice grains, so I asked Rong's mother to cook it." ”

Where did he get his food?

Ji Yanran looked at this bowl of porridge, and her chest swelled unconsciously, how precious this bowl of porridge was at this time, he rushed all night just to see her and give her these things.

"Let's eat," Li Yong smiled slightly, "I'll leave when you're done." ”

Ji Yanran had to eat the porridge in one bite, and the sooner she ate it, Li Yong would have more time to hurry.

Time flies.

Ji Yanran sent Li Yong out of the door.

Seeing him ride a horse and disappear into the night, the corners of Ji Yanran's eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.

If it weren't for the dishes and chopsticks on the table that hadn't had time to be taken away, she would have thought it was a dream.

Li Yong is right, none of them are cowards.

He will move forward, and she will do her thing well, and figure out the past.

……

When the horse left the village, Li Yong saw Du Yu waiting by the side of the road.

Li Yong jumped off the horse, and the two of them went to the side to talk.

Li Yong spoke first: "There is news from the fourth uncle. ”
