It was surprisingly cold outside, with the north wind whistling in the snow and torches doused with pine oil whirring in the wind. [No pop-ups. Ah Jing stood at the door, and when the guards on the left and right saw him, they didn't speak, but just saluted lightly, and said hello. Ah Yi surged down for a while, he no longer knew any of the Praetorian Guards, and he, the captain of the Praetorian Guard, was about to become an ornament.
I don't know how long it took, Ah Jing was so frozen that he kept jumping around in place, and was rubbing his hands back and forth, when suddenly the curtain moved, and the young officer, dressed in a dark blue straight military uniform, calmly walked out of it.
"Ahem...... Bah! Ah Jing coughed deliberately, and then spat hard at his feet, and the phlegm landed right on the tip of the officer's shoe.
The officer suddenly stopped, turned his head slowly, but happened to meet Ah Jing's provocative eyes, the officer's face was expressionless, his eyes flickered, and then as if nothing had happened, he turned around and walked into the thick darkness.
"Coward! Loser! Ah Jing scolded loudly, "No wonder you want to be a deserter!" ”
The night was dark, and the figure of the man was not visible in a blink of an eye, Ah Jing snorted twice, turned around and entered the big tent.
Yan Xun was checking the map under the lamp, and when he heard him come in, he didn't look up, but asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”
Ah Jing gathered his mind and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the girl is still following behind, on such a cold day, there is no tent for the night, so ......"
"What?" Yan Xun's good-looking brows slowly furrowed, and when she raised her head, her eyes were dark and dull, her voice was very low, and her tone was very long, but it was mixed with a few obvious hints of anger, "Didn't you say that she had gone back?" ”
Ah Jing scratched her head and whispered: "Yes, I saw the girl turn the horse's head and go to Beishuo, but she followed again at night." ”
"Rubbish!" Yan Xun slammed the map on the table and said angrily, "A group of men, even a woman can't look at it." ”
Ah Jing hung her head aggrievedly, and didn't speak, but said in her heart: "That's your heart's meat, we don't dare to do it, we don't dare to move roughly, and we don't dare to tie it up and send it back, she promised to send it back, saying that she would go back if she sent a section, who knew she would follow up again!" ”
Yan Xun turned around and picked up the big fur on the hanger, put it on his body and walked out. Ah Jing was overjoyed when he saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward and said earnestly: "Your Highness, I have prepared all the horses for you, let's go quickly, it's too late, the girl is going to be frozen, and the subordinates will say, Your Highness, why would you ignore the girl?" In addition to you in Yanbei, the girl is the number two person, the girl follows you in Zhenhuang to share weal and woe, where can those treacherous white-eyed wolves compare? Subordinates know ......"
However, before he could finish his words, he suddenly realized that the person behind him had not followed. He turned his head and saw Yan Xun standing in the center of the big tent, the fire candle in the downlight shining brightly on his face, his face was shining brightly, and the rare light gray light and shadow swayed on his cheeks, like through an impenetrable fog.
"Temple...... Your Highness? Ah Jing whispered tentatively.
Yan Xun stood there, his eyes were silent, his gaze was like a cloud cruising in the sky, and finally, he lowered his hand that was tying the big fur belt, and said in a calm voice: "You take twenty guards and go and fetch her." ”
"Huh?" Ah Jing opened his mouth in a daze and asked, "Your Highness, aren't you going?" ”
Yan Xun didn't speak, just turned around lightly and took off his coat. Then, he slowly walked to the bookcase, rubbing his fingers against the huge map of Yanbei, and did not speak for a long time.
Yan Xun's back was hidden in the heavy lights, and the light was so bright that people couldn't force their eyes. In a trance, Ah Jing suddenly felt that he seemed to be dazzled, he looked at Yan Xun's back, and suddenly remembered that many years ago in Shengjin Palace, that dazzling morning, the emperor of Great Xia slowly walked out of the palace, he knelt in the center of the crowd, secretly raised his head, but was almost dazzled by the golden dragon robe.
"Yes, my subordinates obey."
Ah Jing agreed, and was about to leave, but heard Yan Xun's deep voice coming over, "In the future, you are not allowed to enter the big tent without communication." ”
The young Yanbei warrior nodded silently, no longer as lively as he was at the beginning, and replied with a straight look: "Yes, the subordinates obey the order." ”
When Chu Qiao followed Ah Jing into the camp, Yan Xun had already fallen asleep, and she was stunned at Yan Xun's big tent where the lights had been turned off. Feng Zhi trotted all the way over, and said a little crampedly: "Your Highness should be very tired after walking for a day. ”
"Well," Chu Qiao nodded, without any special emotions, just said quietly, "Then I'll go back first." ”
When I returned to the camp, my hands and feet were numb from the cold. Ah Jing brought people in very enthusiastically to bring hot water to her, although most of the soldiers did not know her, but they had heard her name and deeds, so they all gathered outside to probe their brains, until they were reprimanded by Ah Jing and did not leave.
After a while, the curtain moved, and a small head flashed in from the outside, and shouted with a smile: "Lord Chu! ”
"Peace?" Chu Qiao was slightly surprised, only to see that Ping'an was wearing a trumpet military uniform, and after not seeing him for a few days, he seemed to have grown a little taller. After the battle in Beishuo was over that day, she was sick and didn't take care of him, but she didn't expect to see him here today, she hurriedly said, "Why are you here?" ”
"I'm a soldier."
"You? Soldier? Chu Qiao was stunned, "How old are you?" ”
"My lord, don't look down on people, General A Jing just spoke, in the future, Ping An will be the girl's orderly, you can leave any chores you have to me."
Orderly? That's fine, at least you don't have to go to war. Chu Qiao smiled slightly, rubbed the child's hair, and said, "Go and tell Ah Jing, just say that I thank him." ”
"The general doesn't keep vigil tonight, it's Lord Cheng's vigil."
Chu Qiao's eyebrows raised slightly, Ah Jing is Yan Xun's personal guard, and he has always been the most loyal guard, how could he not keep vigil? She asked softly, "Master Cheng?" Which Cheng adult? ”
"I don't know." After all, Ping An was still young, and frowned childishly, "I knew that adult's surname was Cheng." ”
"Oh," Chu Qiao nodded, "It's not too early, you go back and rest first." ”
Ping An said crisply, seemed to be very happy, and jumped out of the door. Chu Qiao looked at his back and suddenly felt a little sad. If it is in modern times, such a big child is the age when he carries a schoolbag to school every day and hides in the arms of his parents to cry in case of trouble! But here, he prematurely took on the responsibility of taking care of his sister and lived a life of licking blood from the knife.
After washing her face, the water that was still boiling hot before was already a little cold now, and she took off her boots with great difficulty and put them in the water. Her feet were already swollen from frost, red and purple, itching when she touched the warmth, and she took a deep breath. After washing, she took a bite of the dry food she had just delivered, and then leaned against the warm quilt, slightly distracted.
The events of that day, after all, still had a problem in the hearts of the two. Although she is silent, and Yan Xun also tries hard to adjust and redeem it, some things are like porcelain, once they are broken, no matter how you try to remedy them, it will be useless.
Because of her illness, Yan Xun postponed the time for the army to march for two days. In the past two days, he stayed in front of the sickbed all day and night, feeding her food and water, and even boiling medicine himself, so attentive that the people around him were terrified. However, when Chu Qiao proposed to join the army, he still decisively refused, and the reasons were so good that it was impossible to refute. But no matter how thoughtful and reasonable those words sounded for her, Chu Qiao's mind still kept echoing Yan Xun's words that day: "If they violate military law again in the future, I won't show mercy to my subordinates." ”
It's a warning, but how can you be sure it's not a signal? Chu Qiao felt guilty for this thought, since when did she become wary of him? Except for that day, Yan Xun treated her as always, so good that it even made Chu Qiao think that everything that day was just a dream. However, on the day when the army was raised, she stopped in front of the city gate in full armor and knelt on one knee to ask for the army to join the war, Yan Xun was angry.
This was the first time he was angry with her, and instead of scolding angrily, he looked at her for a long time, as if he could see a lot of things through her thin shoulders, and in the end, he just asked softly: "Achu, what are you worried about?" Then, before she could answer, she rode by, without even looking back.
The soldiers surrounded her and asked her to go back to her house immediately, she quietly looked at Yan Xun's departing figure, and suddenly felt desolate in her heart. He understands everything, knows everything, he has so many thoughts, he asks her, what are you worried about? But Yan Xun, what about you? What are you worried about?
She still followed after all, as he said, she was not at ease, yes, she was not at ease with him, she was afraid that he would kill all the envoys of the Southwest Town. On the battlefield, there are too many ways to wipe out a unit quietly and without a trace, and the officers and soldiers of the southwest town government envoy risk their lives to follow her, and she can't let them die like this.
Maybe it's her villainous heart, but Yan Xun, since you know what I'm afraid of, why don't you make a promise to me? Or do you not dare at all, and what I am afraid of is already in your plan?
The charcoal fire on the ground burned quietly, this was the best white charcoal, there was only a slight light smoke, Chu Qiao stared at the charcoal fire steadily, his eyes gradually dry and sore. She was not yet fully cured, and after a whole day of trekking in the cold wind, fatigue came like a tidal wave. She wore a white single dress, shrunk down on the bed, blew out the candles, and slept quietly.
The moon outside was shining brightly, shining white on the snow below. It was pitch black in the tent, the wind was blowing, and there was not a single tree in the flatland, except for the chirping of the nighthawks, which streaked sharply across the silent night sky.
I don't know how long it took, but it was pitch black all around, and a cold touch suddenly came from my feet. Chu Qiao closed his eyes, frowned slightly, and then sat up abruptly as if he had been electrocuted, and shouted coldly: "Who?" ”
In the darkness, a long figure sat at the foot of the bed, the man was dressed in soft cloth, and by the faint light, the outline of his eyebrows and eyes could be faintly seen. He sat there, palm gently holding her frostbitten feet, a bowl resting on the edge of the bed, the strong smell of medicine emanating from it.
"Awake?" Yan Xun asked quietly, then stood up and lit the candle. The warm yellow light of the fire shone on his face, and there was a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. He sat back down, stretched out his slender fingers, dipped them in the medicine, and then applied them to her chilblains, the fingertips gentle, like a gentle wind, gently sweeping her fingertips and the instep of her feet. Yan Xun didn't look up, his eyes were like a pool of cold water, and he said calmly: "Your feet need to be medicated every day, there are no maids waiting in the army than in the house, the affairs here are complicated, don't forget to take care of your body when you get busy." ”
Just look at the refreshing one
