Chapter 15: Hugh Asks Tonight

Time flows very slowly while waiting, and even when you are busy, you can't help but think about the battle ahead.

The medical officers who accompanied the army had already begun to prepare various medicinal materials under Mo Qin's guidance, and Su Mi was sitting by the axle load cart with a loss of money, and she was responsible for taking care of the cauldron where the medicine was boiling, adding the appropriate herbs to it on time. After this assault battle, there will inevitably be many wounded who need to be treated.

In the distance, a cheer was heard from ahead, what seemed to be the sound of soldiers cheering and chanting.

Win?!

Without waiting for anyone to greet him, Su Mi jumped off the cart and ran up the hillside, looking around,

The soldiers and horses of the Ni family were withdrawing from a distance, and it seemed that they had won this short assault.

It was the first time she had been so close to war.

Under the sun, Ni Tingxuan, who was surrounded by everyone, was faintly visible, and there was a little blood red splashed on the silver armor, which was reflected by the bright sunlight, shining with a dazzling golden red brilliance.

Suddenly, Ni Tingxuan raised his head and looked this way.

I don't know why, obviously separated by a long distance and buried in a heavy crowd, Su Mi felt that he saw himself, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

There was almost no suspense in the first battle into the Liao State, the southern part of the Liao State was desert and mountainous, the land was barren, the population was sparse, the national border was originally loosely guarded, and the passes set up were simple and empty. The number of troops stationed in the garrison is even more scarce. It is not comparable with Juyu Pass and Duan Yong Pass.

Although after making a secret agreement with Ni Yuan, Ye Luxin had already anticipated the importance of this place, and specially left some elite soldiers and horses to assist in defense, but the defense equipment of the checkpoint could not be perfected in a short period of time, especially in the face of Ni Yuan's elite division that Ni Yuan had painstakingly trained and prepared, and all defense was simply useless. After supporting it for less than a day, it was captured by the soldiers and horses of the Ni family.

The snow in the north seems to be more crystal clear than in the south.

Start in the early evening. The small snowflakes that were scattered or falling began to grow larger. It gradually became the size of a goose feather, with a "rustling" sound. Sprinkled from the gray sky.

I don't know if it was the heavens that in order to meet this impending cruel war, layers of snow fell to cover the naked blood.

In a short time, the fresh, white and light snow had covered the ground with a shallow layer.

Just this thin layer, there was a kind of cold cold air rising from the feet of the person, Su Mi couldn't help but shiver, and unconsciously quickened his steps.

This is the first heavy snow Su Mi has seen this year. I have to say, it came just right. Today, the soldiers and horses of Yongzhou have captured the border passes of the Liao army. For the first time since the whole army set out on the expedition, there was no need to live in tents, and if this heavy snowfall had arrived a few days earlier, it would have been much more difficult for the expeditionary force to climb the mountains and mountains, and the danger of setting up camp between the lofty mountains and mountains would also have greatly increased, and I was afraid that people would freeze to death on the road. I remember that a little snow a few days ago made the expeditionary force suffer enough.

Tonight, thankfully, there was a complete roof to shelter the soldiers from the wind and snow.

Su Mi walked through the low earthen wall to the house where the boss lived. Originally, the border guards the residence of the general. At this time, it naturally became Ni Tingxuan's accommodation.

In such a humble border gate, the manager's room is nothing more than a simple and simple courtyard, although there are many things that should be there.

Su Mi pushed open the door and was a little surprised to see that Ni Tingxuan was the only one in the room.

"Now that the matter has been explained, I told them to go down and rest. Seeing the doubts in her eyes, Ni Tingxuan explained: "Everyone in today's World War I has worked hard. The weather isn't good either, so it's good to let them rest early. Not to mention today......"

"Hmm," Su Mi nodded, but her gaze fell uncontrollably on the table in the corner of the room.

Ni Tingxuan is always strict in the army, although he is the commander-in-chief, he has always been treated like ordinary soldiers, and his food and clothing are not much better than ordinary soldiers.

But at this time...... Su Mi looked at several dishes neatly arranged on the table, and the strangest thing was that there was a pot of wine next to it, in addition to the victory of a major battle. You can be rewarded with wine. Isn't it strictly forbidden to drink in the army? Why did he, the coach, take the lead in violating military regulations?

"It's not going to be a celebration of today's victory, is it?" Su Mi looked up at him and asked, he is not the kind of person who would be proud of his small merits.

"It's just a start. What is there to celebrate. There's still a long way to go. Ni Tingxuan smiled and said.

"And what is this for?" Su Mi glanced at the pot of wine on the table and asked suspiciously.

Watching her turn her head to look at herself, her eyes were beautiful and indescribable, and her slightly doubtful expression made people feel pity.

No matter how bright the eyes are, it can't match the elegance of this eye,

is as smart as her, but there are times when she is confused, maybe her keen and rational appearance has seen more, and this occasional confusion is especially cute.

"Have you forgotten what day it is?" Ni Tingxuan looked at her amusefully and reminded.

Su Mi's mind was spinning rapidly, today's day, they set off in their army at the end of November, and walked all the way...... Today......

"...... Today"

Su Mi raised her head in disbelief, and then she suddenly realized that today, it was actually the New Year! Maybe it was because the days in the army were so regular and busy that she ignored the passage of time, or maybe it was because the first snow of the year came so late that she didn't feel like winter for a long time, and even ignored such an important day.

The smile in Ni Tingxuan's eyes filled the air, and he was already full of wine. Then reach out and hand it to him.

Su Mi took it in a daze, and then looked down at the clear and sweet liquid in the cup.

In the side stopper, of course, there will be no mutton fat white jade like in the court, gilt carved wine glass, and what you hold in your hand is just a simple and rough celadon cup.

Her skin touched the slightly chilly wine glass, and she suddenly felt it in her fingertips, in the palm of her hand. There is already a thin cocoon. Before I knew it, my hands had become rough. Su Mi noticed it suddenly. In the past few days in the army, her slender fingers, which were originally as moist as jade, although they are still as white and delicate as spring onions, have changed slightly in the invisible places.

She looked up at him.

The days are really fast, how could she have thought of it when she was in the palace. One day, she was able to spend the New Year of two people in the border city of Liao, on the vast prairie, at night when the winter snow was flying, by the candle shadow shaking red lights, and the person in front of her under the same roof.

He was staring at her, and his eyes were softening when he met her gaze.

No hints. The two of them raised the cup in their hands together, raised their heads and drank it all.

The wine in the mouth has a slight coolness, and it enters the stomach, but it immediately turns into a warm current, rising like a flame.

Su Mi sat at the table with him,

A few glasses of wine down. A faint red floated on her floor, beautiful and charming, indescribable, the originally beautiful lips exuded a crystal color because of this fiery wine, and under the orange candle flame in the dark night, it was fresh and attractive like peach petals in the spring of March inadvertently falling on the water.

He couldn't help but think of the kiss that was as clear as the moonlight under the towering cliff, the winter night when the water was frozen into ice.

It feels as cold and gentle as ice and snow. Let him be nostalgic for the pure sweetness of his life. Just above the almost transparent ruddy of the concubine color.

It is obviously a memory as cool as ice and snow, but it is as beautiful as the peach blossoms that bloom in March. Little by little, it came to my heart.

"I hate spring for a long time, and I don't know how to turn into this mountain. He muttered unconsciously.

"Huh?" Su Mi heard this inexplicable sentence, his eyes widened, and he looked at him suspiciously and asked.

Summoned back to his senses by this simple syllable, he raised his head, only to find that Su Mi was looking at him suspiciously, his black eyes as clear as ice and snow widened, reflecting his cramped and restless figure.

Ni Tingxuan's face turned red, and he lowered his head in embarrassment to stagger his gaze.

Su Mi didn't know what he was thinking at all, only seeing his focused and warm eyes just now and his embarrassed and cramped expression at this time, his naughty heart rose, and he looked up and asked with a smile: "What spring is nowhere to be found, but now it is frozen for thousands of miles, is it possible to see the spring color of peach blossoms in full bloom?" ”

Ni Tingxuan's heart suddenly became hot, and he said casually: "Why do you need to look for it? There is no peach blossom in front of you, it's just ...... but they do not know where they will end. ”

Su Mi's face suddenly turned red, and such naked words were almost ......

If these words came out of Wen Xian's mouth, she would only give him a fierce roll of the eyes and then punch him a few times to get angry.

But...... He......

Su Mi only felt that he was in a trance, and felt that Ni Tingxuan's burning gaze was on him, and Su Mi lowered his head in a daze.

In fact, in that day and night of ice and snow, under the cliff dripping into ice, in that clear and gentle voice, in that plain but containing layers of torrents......

Those who are carefully guarded, those who are considerate and thoughtful, those who are caring, those who are careful and comforting, how can she not understand?

But she would rather she didn't understand, that she couldn't see or hear.

Her gaze stayed on the gently flickering candle flame beside the table for a long time, and the warm orange color actually stung her eyes.

She didn't dare to look into her heart, she didn't dare to uncover this mystery with her own hands,

She has been rejecting this feeling with a gesture of silent resistance, but there is still something in the depths of her heart, quietly and silently twitching the sprouts,

Just like the beginning of the winter snow, a plum tree blooms in the wind, like a sweet open air, and the land that has dried up for a long time pulls out hazy green.

One day a long time later, Su Mi recalled the time of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, and suddenly realized that maybe it was that night, that little warm candle flame, in her heart, the heat and brightness far exceeded any light and heat in the world, and in her obscure and difficult heart, a faint light shone out.

At that moment, I don't know what night it is, at that moment, I don't know where I am.
