Murong Jing listened to my words, smiled, and showed a mouthful of white teeth. In all fairness, this guy is still very good-looking, especially when he laughs, he is gentle and warm like a spring breeze, which makes people hate him.

When parting, he said to me solemnly: "Miss Ye, you are a woman staying in the barracks, it is inconvenient and unsafe, do you have any troubles, tell me, maybe I can help you." ”

His eyes were sincere and his attitude was sincere, and he could see that he was genuinely thinking about me. After so many years of wandering in the rivers and lakes, I have seen too many ** people of all shapes, who is sincere and who is false, I can still see clearly. Although this Murong Jing speaks incoherently, he is a good person. But his heart for me, I will never accept it.

What's more, this path was chosen by myself, and no matter what, I will not look back.

I was expressionless, and said to him in a cold voice: "No need, thank you Murong Shizi for your kindness." Leave. After speaking, he didn't pay attention to Murong Jing's eyes that dimmed instantly, turned around and headed towards the barracks.

Bailixiao always complains that I speak directly and have a cold personality, and I don't deny it. When it comes to Murong Jing, I am indeed ruthless.

Back in the barracks, Da Zhe and Ma Dahai were there. As soon as Ma Dahai saw me, he ran up excitedly, grabbed my arm, and smiled on his face, "Brother Shanfeng, congratulations on becoming the general's bodyguard." As I said earlier, you are so clever, sooner or later you will soar. If you are promoted and make a fortune in the future, you must not forget my good brother! ”

I pulled the corners of my mouth and moved my arm, trying to break free of Ma Dahai's hand, but I found that he was holding on very hard and couldn't break free for a while. Just as I wanted to open my mouth to tell him to let go, Da Zhe next to him had already forcibly pulled Ma Dahai away from me and scolded him: "Just talk, don't move your hands and feet." ”

"I didn't do anything to you, why are you in a hurry?" Ma Dahai gave him a roll of the eye, turned his head and smiled flatteringly at me, "Brother Shanfeng, Da Zhe and I are planning to go to the nearby river to take a bath, why don't we go together?" Speaking of which, you don't think you've taken a shower with us yet. ”

The corners of my mouth twitched, and in the face of Ma Dahai's doubts, I was speechless, so I could only remain silent. Anyway, I'm usually a quiet person, and it won't make people suspicious if I say a few words. However, I was thinking about how to answer more reasonably. The soldiers in the barracks usually take a bath in the bath room next to the barracks, but the conditions are relatively simple and crowded, so more people still like to go to a river near the barracks.

Murong Jing is right, it is indeed inconvenient for a woman to be in the barracks. So I can only try to take a bath as much as possible, and every time I take a bath, in the dead of night, I sneak into the nearby river, find a remote place, and simply scrub it. Fortunately, after such a long time, no one has ever found an anomaly.

When I was in the hut just now, I naturally took the opportunity to wash it well, so my body was very clean at the moment, and I didn't have any sweaty and sticky worries at all. When I was thinking hard about the reason for rejecting Ma Dahai, I didn't expect Dazhe to relieve me. Without waiting for me to respond, he dragged the horse out of the barracks.

"Dazhe, what are you doing in a hurry to pull me out?" Ma Dahai shouted: "Wait for the mountain wind brothers to be together!" ”

"Mountain wind, he's been busy all day and tired." Outside the door, Da Zhe's cold voice came.

Ma Dahai was still muttering something, but the two of them quickly walked away, and the faint sound dissipated in the wind. I ignored it and collapsed on my bed, silently thinking about what would happen tomorrow.

That night, I tossed and turned, and I didn't sleep soundly.

Early the next morning, Yuan Ji took me and Da Zhe to the guard barracks, and handed the two of us over to the guard team Zheng Su Li.

He Liancheng's bodyguard consisted of fifty people, each of whom was drawn from various battalions. Compared with the forward battalion, the daily training of the guards is larger, and the discipline is stricter, and sometimes after a day of training, the whole person feels like a broken fight, and he falls on the bed and does not want to move.

But I'm happy to do it. Because I feel like the distance between me and him is getting closer. When I traveled with him, although more often I could only see his back, this back was clearly visible in my eyes, and it was no longer the blurry outline of before.

Also, every time I train on campus, I can see He Liancheng. He stood in the stands with his hands in his hands, quietly watching us train, and occasionally whispered a few words to Su Li who was standing next to him. Although every time he was in the stands, he always stood against the light, making it impossible to see the outline of his facial features and facial expression, but I knew that he was watching here, and that was enough.

Perhaps, when he looked over, there was also a moment when my figure would appear in his eyes that were as heavy as a cold pool.

I know that with the ingenuity and efforts of King Xuan and Qianmo, a three-year armistice agreement was signed between the North Di Kingdom and the Northwest. King Beidi is already old and frail, and his ambitions in the past are gradually exhausted, and Wan Yan Lu and Wan Yan Ping are too busy with infighting to care about fighting with the surrounding countries. Therefore, all the countries in the world are at peace for the time being, the He family army has no battle to fight, and the soldiers stationed in the barracks have nothing else to do except for their daily drills.

However, He Liancheng was still very busy. The guard barracks was very close to the barracks where he lived, and I usually had an eye for him, so even if I didn't often have the opportunity to follow him, I could know when he was out of the camp, when he would come back, when he would get up, and when he would turn off the lights.

Su Li, the guard team, is He Liancheng's confidant, and I heard that he grew up watching him grow up, and he is very loyal to the He family and him. After joining the guards, I often saw Su Li in and out of the commander's barracks, and the two often talked for a long time in the room.

As a new recruit of the guard, it is natural to be more hardworking, and Dazhe and I basically took over the task of keeping vigil. Of course, in my heart, this task is unwanted. It is almost October, and the weather in Beidi is already cold, and it is even more chilly at night. However, during the nights on duty outside his barracks, every time I saw the dim candlelight in his room, my heart was warm and calm. Maybe it's because I know what he's up to, so I always feel closer to him.

I still remember the news that Qianmo ordered me to convey to him last time. These days, he has been sending Su Li to secretly investigate the incident back then. In the end, did his father He Yuanshan die under King Xuan's arrow, or did he die from the poisonous hands secretly inflicted by Wanyan Lu?

From my point of view, it is natural to trust more news about Xuanwangfu, but this is not the case for He Liancheng. In the past seven years, he has always believed that his father died at the hands of King Xuan, but now someone suddenly told him that in fact, his father was killed by his own people, and the person who killed him was still the royal family that their He family had always been loyal to. How could he easily accept such news?

Therefore, since He Liancheng returned to Beidi, he has not given up sending people to find out the truth of the year.

It's the eighth day since I joined the Guard. During the routine training that day, He Liancheng did not show up. When I returned to the barracks to rest after the training, I learned from the other guards that he had been called back to his house by Mrs. He early in the morning.

He Mansion is his home after all. There, there was his mother, and the woman he had just married.

He Liancheng was not there, and Su Li seemed to have a sudden discovery of his conscience, and he was merciful enough to give us two more hours of rest. Everyone cheered, as if these two hours were more precious than two ingots of gold, and they almost threw Su Li into the sky.

After leaving the school grounds, everyone went to the nearby river in groups of three or five. Of course I know what they're going to do. At such moments, I often hid in the corner, tried to make myself transparent, and hurried back to the barracks without saying a word.

By the time Dazhe and the others came back from bathing in the river, it was already a little dark. It was dinner time in the barracks, and the soldiers had returned to the barracks. Thinking that there should be no one else in the river now, I took this opportunity to find an excuse to sneak to the river.

After training, I was sweating all over, and I couldn't bear the sour smell all over my body, and if I didn't scrub it, I guess I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

The river was not far from the barracks, and I made a quick journey there.

Night has gradually fallen, the insects and birds are chirping and the leaves are waving, and the river is sparkling and murmuring under the reflection of the rising moonlight. I looked around carefully, and it was true that there was no sign of anyone. So he found a remote place, washed it briefly, felt that his body was no longer so unbearable, and got up to go back to the barracks. Sneaking out of the camp would be troublesome if it was discovered.

I walked a few steps along the river, and saw that no one around me was trying to perform light exercises in order to return to the camp as soon as possible, but at this moment I suddenly heard a "plop" sound, like the sound of someone falling into the water.

I was busy subconsciously the cat leaned down and hid in the bushes by the river. With the help of the cold moonlight, I looked towards the source of the sound, and saw that not far in front of me, a vigorous figure was floating in the river, two powerful arms cut through the clear water, flapping white splashes, his whole body was like a swordfish, swimming forward quickly in a smooth and graceful posture, and the stiff back of the line appeared and disappeared on the rippling river.

As he poked his head out of the river, I looked at it, and in the light of the moon, the knife-like silhouette was so familiar.

He Liancheng! I suddenly felt my heart beat faster.
