Chapter 8: The Mountain Village Road is Narrow

"Now that the situation is about to change in a blink of an eye, we must strike first. Su Mi still calmly analyzed.

"I'll go!" Qi Hao took a long breath, interrupted Su Mi's words, and said. This is an opportunity he has been looking forward to for a long time, and if he gives up, then he will probably not be able to find such an opportunity again in his life.

He couldn't afford to miss it.

"I'm going to be going for about two months, and after two months, I'll be back. Qi Hao stared at her and promised, "Then take you away." "He went to contact the local forces this time, and he needed to run non-stop, from Rongzhou on the coast to Xuncheng in the interior, all over the country, and the hardships of the journey, Su Mi's body was absolutely unbearable.

His gaze was burning and deep, with a light that Su Mi couldn't see, or didn't want to see. At this time, of course, Qi Hao didn't expect that the two would meet again after nearly two years.

Su Mi turned her head slightly, as if to escape, she nodded. She remembered that night when the snow was drifting, on the way to escape hand in hand, on the high palace of Xifu Palace, at that moment when the water was dripping into ice, he also faintly spit out such hot words in her ear.

At this time, such a promise was heard in my ears again, and there was a kind of sourness.

The days of purity that belong to them are only half a year of common tribulation, and the days of carefree are over. In the end, the two of them still have to face a harsh reality.

Take her away? Where will they be able to go?

If he really succeeds, he will return to the palace in the future. What is it like?

Su Mi readily agreed, without the slightest disappointment or reluctance on her face, but Qi Hao's eyes were bitter and cold, what made her re-close her heart?

While thinking about it, Su Mi had already gotten up and said, "I'll go clean up the dishes and chopsticks." ”

She had just turned around, but she was taken aback when she was caught unguarded by someone from behind. Struggled in annoyance, Qi Hao hugged him tighter and tighter.

Su Mi hadn't had time to say anything yet. Suddenly, Qi Hao pulled her body, and the scorching heat pressed against her lips. Su Mi's eyes widened in surprise.

Since the two have lived here, although they are commensurate as husband and wife on the surface, they are actually polite and self-respecting, living under the same roof, and occasionally having physical contact, which is also unintentional. The days are warm but plain, as clean and natural as the flowing water outside the window.

This is the first time that there has been such a decisive and fierce faux pas.

The breath between the two was intertwined, and the sound of each other's heartbeats could be faintly heard. Su Mi wanted to struggle away, but he didn't know why, but he lost the strength to struggle, so he let him hold it.

Feeling the enthusiasm and determination contained in Qi Hao's kiss, her heart gradually became cold.

That's it. More on that later. In such chaos, no one can guarantee to see the sunshine of tomorrow, and neither does him and her, in the unpredictable future, they are just going with the flow.

If he goes like this, maybe things will not succeed and he will die halfway down the road. Ambition dies before it is rewarded. And she may never wait for his return. There are so many variables in this world that they don't have the time or opportunity to hesitate.

They are just mortals struggling to survive in this floating world, and they can't see the end of this game.

Su Mi's heart softened, and she hugged him back. All scheming and mustards dissipated in this kiss.

This kiss is the beginning and the end.

Qi Hao let go of Su Mi and still held her tightly in his arms: "I know you don't believe me, but I really can't give up such an opportunity." Wait for me. Will be back soon. ”

Qi Hao looked at her with a focused and sincere expression.

Su Mi nodded, but Qiushui's bright eyes unconsciously staggered his gaze slightly.

This period is finally over completely. Or rather, it never began, but in her wishful thinking, it existed. This time, if he really succeeds, he will definitely return to the treacherous court, within such a far-reaching red wall, where to find a world as simple and natural as this mountain cottage. Hundred-foot red walls, high-rise buildings far away, but there is a world that belongs to them?

The majestic palace is too high and too far away, but the floating light of this troubled world is too empty and too illusory.

Twilight is low.

The moonlight threw a touch of cold slanted into the room, and the ground was like frost.

The two of them were so close to the ground that they could feel each other's messy heartbeats.

But they are far apart, as if one person thinks the relationship is over, and the other still thinks it has just begun......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Qi Hao left early the next morning, entrusting Su Mi to the nearby villagers.

The two of them have lived here for nearly half a year, and the people in the village have long regarded them as their own family, so they naturally agreed immediately.

After Qi Hao left, Su Mi's days did not change, time seemed to stand still in the mountain village, making people feel that the days were flowing at all, only occasionally Mr. Ge's news came, reminding her of the changes in the outside world.

Maybe war is a man's topic after all, and she is a powerless woman, no matter how smart and good at strategy, there is an untouchable side, and she can only wait quietly here.

It has been more than two months since Qi Hao left, and he originally promised to come back to pick him up within two months, but now it can be regarded as a missed appointment, Su Mi thought a little angrily. Perhaps, the situation in the south is not as smooth as they imagined, perhaps, he has discovered something more important or encountered some problems, perhaps, he ...... Too much may have made Su Mi's mood irritable as the hot summer day ended.

After all, he still has to put this world first, Su Mi sighed lightly.

The summer heat is almost over. The mountain breeze is refreshing and cool, and you don't need the Tibetan ice and jade in the palace to get through comfortably.

In the middle of the summer of that year, the whole world fell into a kind of stagnant mud, and all changes seemed to stop.

The new emperor of Nanchen was ambitious, constantly gathering troops and horses to expand his strength. But Ni Yuan changed his proactive norm and stuck to the city. Avoid without fighting.

The Liao army that plundered everywhere in the capital also gradually disappeared, it seems that because of this hot weather, they have also lost the sharpness that the Great Liao Iron Cavalry has always been proud of, so they have to hide behind the high city walls to pass the time. Of course, it is also because of the fact that in the entire surrounding capital, the vacant villages that they have searched can hardly find any value that can be further extracted.

The days seemed to pass peacefully like this, but Su Mi understood that the calm was only temporary, and Ni Yuan was just accumulating strength. Waiting for the best time, this is what he is best at, if he does not move, once he attacks, it must be the most fatal blow to the opponent. Moreover, the intelligence sent also said that Ni Yuan's means of secretly buying and pacifying Nan Chen's resistance forces have not stopped. In another capital, the downturn of the Liao army was only a short rest. Once the autumn harvest arrives, their figures will emerge like hungry wolves smelling blood.

The peaceful, almost suffocating days before the present were but a brief respite before the war was about to become more intense.

A few days ago, Ge Chengming had already received good news that Wen Xian's assassination of Juyu Guan's general Jia Tong was successful, and all the major military affairs in the pass fell into the hands of Mu Qinghan, and then naturally he wanted to appease the hearts of the army. Wait for the moment when all the soldiers and horses in the pass are subdued in your hands.

Estimating the day, there should be a move soon. Su Mi counted the time.

The sun was setting, and before I knew it, it was already evening.

Su Mi stood up and wanted to lower the window supported by bamboo poles.

I accidentally looked from the window to the entrance of the village, but saw a group of people walking far away in the village.

Su Mi's movements suddenly stopped, and her eyes widened.

It was a team of less than a hundred people, and from a long distance you could see the well-equipped and neat queue.

It's not like the Liao army, but who else?

Although this group of men and horses did not have military attire such as armor, they walked in a way that was in between. It's all military stance.

Su Mi was taken aback. It's barren and desolate. Even the Liao army didn't bother to come to loot and loot, how could there be an army coming over at this time?

The people in the village were also alarmed, and they put down their work in twos and threes, walked out of the door, and watched the troops gradually entering the ground.

After the team approached, they rode out, rode to the front of the villagers, hugged their fists, and said loudly: "I have something to pass by here, and I want to borrow the boundary of your village to repair it for a night, I don't know which one of your village is the village chief?" ”

"Dart team?" Su Mi couldn't help but smile, and when he got closer, he saw clearly that this team was indeed dressed as a warrior in the rivers and lakes, but with that kind of compelling momentum, he would believe that they were ghosts only from the dart team. And will there be a dart team running into such deep mountains and wild forests? The village is not located on a traffic artery.

But in this troubled world, as long as it is not their own business, no one will take the initiative to cause trouble.

A white-haired old man in the village walked out, he was the grandfather of the Guo family in the east of the village, hundreds of people in the village, he was the oldest, and what he said was the most important in the village.

"Do you want us to vacate the house?" The old man's insight is extraordinary, and he can also see that this team of people is strange, but since they have no malice, it is just a night's work, so they naturally don't care about this.

"If there is an empty room, it is better to bother the old man," said the knight, speaking very respectfully, as he took the silver taels from his bosom and gave them to the old man.

The old man excused himself before accepting it, and immediately said to Pei Shun beside him: "Quickly take a few people to the west of the village." Say hello. ”

Due to years of war, the village has decreased a lot in size over the past few decades, and there are many empty houses in the west, and Su Mi and Qi Hao live in one of them. Hearing that the village chief said that he wanted to bring people here, Su Mi was a little worried.

Seeing that Pei Shun had already led the people to this side, she immediately removed the bamboo pole and lowered the window.

The window had not yet been closed, and the last glance swept over the group of centaurs, Su Mi's eyes fell on the knight who was leading among them, and at a glance, his face suddenly changed.

The hand that closed the window couldn't help but pause, and the bamboo pole fell to the ground with a "snap".

The monthly pass continues to call for ......^_^...
