Bai Qige stopped suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief.

"You're driving me away."

"It's not that I'm driving you, it's that you don't want to stay." The cold sword hilt was held in the palm of his hand, but there was a burning stinging pain, Yi Chenjing approached step by step, and stood in front of Bai Qige with his head down, "I have never understood why you chose to stay, don't you hate me." It was I who ruined you and the Bai family, and it was I who ruined your face and body, I really can't figure out why you have to stay by the side of the person you hate the most. I thought you were still desperate for the man you liked as before, but it seems that I was wrong, and it was not me who was perfunctory but you, from beginning to end, you never thought of being my woman. ”

It's not enough to give him both body and mind, and can't it prove her dedication to her feelings. Bai Qige showed a numb smile, and under the huge emotional fluctuations, he didn't notice that Yi Chenjing's hand was on the sword.

Restraining her tired look, Bai Qige avoided her indifferent face: "I only ask you one thing, what benefits can I get from helping you seek power and usurp the throne at all costs." ”

"The queen's throne is worshiped by all the people."

"You feel like these things are more important than your family. What about the world, I will give up everything for the sake of meaningless fame, and I am willing to die alone in the deserted harem. ”

Yi Chenjing was silent, her eyes still staring directly at Bai Qige's emaciated face, just waiting for her to answer.

No matter what the purpose is, even if she really covets glory and wealth, as long as she is willing to stay, then everything can be written off; If she refuses...... He is not a good man and a woman, a hero, and he doesn't care that his sword is stained with women's blood.

"Do you want to go? I can write Hugh to you right now. Raising his hand to hook Bai Qige's jaw, Yi Chenjing finally couldn't hold his breath and asked.

There were still blood stains on his pursed lips, sweet and slightly fishy, which was incompatible with the bitterness in his heart. Being treated like this should be thrown away, that is Bai Qige's natural character and arrogance, and no one can be suspicious and suspicious, but once she leaves, her vows and prayers will be in vain, like flowers in the moon mirror in the water, no matter how difficult it is. Bai Qige swayed, on the one hand, it was difficult to accept the cracks that appeared one after another, and on the other hand, she was desperate to give a lot of feelings, so that they could continue to walk side by side.

After thinking about it for a long time with his eyes closed, he decided to squeeze it out between his teeth, almost exhausting all his strength.

"I'm not leaving."

A smile without any temperature bloomed silently, Yi Chenjing leaned over and approached the pale lip flap, closed his eyes and kissed him extremely gently, and when he straightened up, the blade that reflected the cold light of the cold moon was already unsheathed and hung quietly on the side of Bai Qige's neck.

"You should be glad that you didn't choose to leave, otherwise, both you and the Bai family will disappear from the world." The cold tone was the same as the first time, cruelly cutting a deep wound in Bai Qige's heart. Yi Chenjing's long eyes narrowed slightly, and a bit of cold light flashed: "I won't let you leave my side, whether it's Bai Haocheng or Yi Chenxuan, wherever you are, you will become a stumbling block to me, if you live, you can only follow me, otherwise only becoming dead will make me feel at ease." ”

Bai Qige sneered.

His kiss smacked of determination, and inadvertently, she brushed shoulders with death.

That's what he's really about, right? What kind of grace in troubled times, what kind of affection, his sweet words are all to trap her and prevent her from defecting to others to hinder him. The funny thing is that she actually believed in those false fantasies, and really thought that this broken face could be exchanged for the vicissitudes of life, and she would be a couple for a lifetime.

That's it, the dream has woken up, and there is no need to be infatuated.

"I'm just your nominal wife, you can be exempted from acting on the spot, if there is a day when you really do a fake show, won't you suffer a big loss." The laughing tone broke the heavy atmosphere, Bai Qige pretended to be relaxed, and casually hung the pass token representing his trust on the sword, "The grain and grass must be guarded against, and I can rest assured that I want to come to His Highness in the rear army, if there is really a sneak attack by the enemy, at least there is someone who will stick to the foundation of your foundation, isn't it." I'll go back first, Your Highness, please go back to the Chinese military camp tent and have a good rest. ”

People who never shouted for warmth suddenly became enthusiastic, but unfortunately there was no sincerity in that enthusiasm, and only strangers were left to deal with words, which was chilling to hear.

Watching the stubborn and cold figure leave, this time, Yi Chenjing did not continue to catch up. How many times did she stop and turn around tonight. How many times did he put down his identity and took the initiative to stay. I can't remember, I just remember that she walked more and more crisply every time, and his heart was as cold as ice every time.

The bright moon hung high, becoming more and more deserted, Yi Chenjing put away his sword and hung the token on his waist, and walked in the direction of the Chinese army without turning his head.

On a grass-colored plain of fresh green, two figures marched in different directions, casting long, thin figures against the moonlight, lonely.

On the fifth day of the march north from Lingyun City, the boundless wasteland stretched out in front of you, and after this wasteland, you could see the Dabang Heights inhabited by the Horo River Khanate, and the war began. Due to the delay in Lingyun City for a little longer, and then encountered continuous rainy days, the speed of the march was greatly reduced, and when they arrived at the Hongque Wasteland, which is equivalent to the border between the two countries, it was nearly half a month later than the scheduled date, and the weather was already very hot and dry, and many soldiers could not stand the scorching temperature of the northern plain and fell ill.

After discussing with Xiao Baishan and Liang Gong, Yi Chenjing ordered the three armies to march slowly, advance the daytime march by one hour, camp and rest in the afternoon when it is hottest, and travel for another hour at night while the weather is cool, so as to minimize the suffering of the soldiers. This did improve the efficiency of the march, but it also caused a very serious problem: at night the infantry and cavalry could march quickly, but the chariots and horses that carried grain and grass and heavy loads could not, and at the end of the day, the baggage team was a full distance of five miles from the front, and fell far behind.

"If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that when we reach the territory of the Holo River, the three armies will be separated from the grain and grass." Looking at the barren land in front of him, Bai Qige said worriedly.

"The vast and boundless Hongque Plain and the climate is extremely harsh, and this is the rainy season, and if you catch the storm, you are likely to lose a lot of food, horses, and grass." Chen An looked back at the old and weak remnants of his peers, and let out a long sigh, "The general's decision is also a helpless move, the night is long and dreamy, if you can't get out of the Hongque Plain as soon as possible, there will be more soldiers who will lose their combat power, such a serious price is really unbearable, after all, the conscription army with 200,000 troops is actually less than 80,000 elite soldiers, and every illness is a great loss." ”

What Chen An said is all about things, and Bai Qige is not unaware, but this kind of place where there is no place in front of the village and no store is the most likely to ambush and raid, and she suffered this loss in the tactical simulation battle class back then. While eating a trench and growing wise, and staying alert to the dangerous environment, Bai Qige did not forget the important position of grain and grass in the army, once there was a problem with the supply in the rear during the long march, no matter how strong the army was, it would become a trapped beast until the army was defeated.

The two sides are unfavorable, and it is difficult to ride a tiger, and now they can only pray that the Huoluo River Clan has no good talent and will think of sneaking up on the baggage troops, otherwise the remote army will be in danger.

There is a princess in military uniform sitting in battle, Chen An's task is not heavy, and now the prestige of this heroic princess is not inferior to that of the main general Yi Chenjing, especially among the baggage troops and soldiers who have been traveling for several days have been called "war concubine" from time to time, as long as Bai Qige stands in front of the team, the most tired and bitter soldiers in the rear army are as encouraged as if they have taken a reassuring pill, and they are all full of energy.

"The princess is simply a good medicine, specializing in low morale."

Glancing at Chen An, who was full of emotion, Bai Qige smiled faintly: "It's not me who is effective, but the name of the princess, and if other women ride horses with Chen Senjun here, the effect is the same." ”

"Will the effect be the same, the last general will not dare to make a judgment, the last general only knows that the princess and concubine will not let the eyebrows, and the woman who can endure the hardships of the expedition can afford the respect and admiration of the soldiers."

Bai Qige neither shirked nor refuted, in her previous life, she joined the army and sacrificed her life for the country, and what is it to go out with the army in this life. Maybe her fate is connected to the war and the horse, and she can't escape the smoke of the beacon fire in her life, but the original intention has changed, once for the benefactors of her predecessors who raised her up, and now, for the relatives who are connected by blood...... And him.

Falling in love with Yi Chenjing, she will never deny it at any time.

Sweating under the scorching sun, I walked for a long time, the twilight passed, and the night fell again.

After counting the men and horses and materials, Chen An rushed to the Chinese army with two soldiers to restore his life, Bai Qige and all the soldiers set up camp together to eat and rest, leaving the twenty night sentry to patrol the perimeter, and the others fell asleep in the tent or on the ground.

Recently, Bai Qige has not slept well, his sleep is very light, and he will be awakened if he makes a slight noise, but when the slight footsteps and short whistles came, Bai Qige turned over and sat up suddenly, and the short sword behind his waist quickly came out of the sheath.

The situation was not right, looking at the large number of soldiers lying down and sleeping, a sense of foreboding welled up in my heart.

Normally, these soldiers fall asleep after a day of fatigue, and it won't take long for them to snore, but tonight everyone is unusually quiet, there is no snoring one after another, and no one sleeps comfortably, and no one turns over and changes their positions uncomfortably, as if they have all passed out quietly. Bai Qige tiptoed to the nearest soldier and patted him, but there was no response, he didn't see any injuries after a cursory look, and there was no problem with his breathing and pulse, it seemed that he was just sleeping too deeply.

Something was wrong, Bai Qige didn't dare to expose it rashly, frowned and looked around, and finally locked his eyes on a bonfire filled with light smoke.

In order to reduce the burden of escorting supplies, the remote army used to find some combustibles nearby to make a fire for cooking and heating, and set up a bonfire, obviously the fuel used today is different from the past, not firewood and weeds, but a kind of dry vine that has never been seen before. Bai Qige didn't know what these vines were, but she faintly realized that the soldiers' sleepiness must be related to these vines, otherwise how could she be nothing wrong with only her away from the light smoke of the bonfire.

"Is the princess cold? Be careful of hurting so close to the bonfire, the water and fire are ruthless," the young man's slightly smiling voice suddenly sounded behind him, and Bai Qige turned around, it was the young recruit who was scared by her at her convenience the night before.

"yes, it's too cold, just roast the fire." Taking a deep breath, Bai Qige smiled silently, and the short sword was clenched behind his back.

She still remembered that the person in charge of picking up the dead branches and leaves tonight was the young man in front of her.
