Time seemed to stop, Bai Qige couldn't hear his heartbeat, couldn't see his firm expression, something choked in his throat and heart, sour and unbearable.

Iron Armor was in her arms, he was wearing only a single suit, and if the arrow was fired, it would have pierced his body...... She is just a chess piece, is it worth his life to protect between life and death?

Is she just a pawn?

Hearing the sound of the full string loosening and the arrow roaring approaching, Bai Qige closed his eyes, grabbed Yi Chenjing's sleeve tightly, and couldn't get closer to his warm body. If the arrow is enough to penetrate his body, then let it penetrate with her, she can't afford such a huge price, she can't afford the way he paid his life for her, and if she wants to die, she will die together.

The sound of the arrows stopped abruptly, but the arms holding her did not relax in the slightest, and the sound of breathing was so clear.

"Protect the general, protect the princess," the sonorous and powerful shout resounded through the night sky, it was the voice of the Liang Palace. Bai Qige slowly opened her eyes, desperately praying not to see any blood light, not to see the cluster of cold arrows from his chest, and the heavens finally treated her well, and what she saw when she raised her eyes was Yi Chenjing's gentle eyes and a relieved and peaceful expression.

"It's good that you're okay."

I have heard that elegant and flat voice thousands of times, but this time it is real and clear. The clenched palm was released, and his gaze crossed his flat shoulder to see the archers being besieged and slaughtered by the swarming soldiers of the remote army, Bai Qige hung his head, and his forehead rested lightly on his solid chest.

Luckily he's fine.

He's fine.

Is this considered madness? Ignoring the thoughts of those relatives of the Bai family, he actually gave birth to the idea of life and death with him...... But in her heart, she felt that it should be like this, and if he died, what was the point of everything she had done. How to go on in the invisible future. Betting her life on his imperial cause and abandoning everything, she has no other way to go but to go down with him, to the end of the world, the end of the world.

"You can't die." The feeling of exhaustion surged all over his body, Bai Qige leaned softly on Yi Chenjing's body, and he didn't know where the strength of his limbs and hundreds of bones had flowed.

I don't know if Yi Chenjing heard that murmur, his warm chest suddenly withdrew, holding his pale wife in one hand, and clenching the long sword at his waist with the other, the cold light flashed in the eyes of the commander of the Yao Army, cold as winter snow.

"Kill me, don't leave a single one,"

It's just that it's almost injured, and it's not really injured, so why bother to kill it all. Leaving these sneak attackers alive may be able to ask for some information, but it is really an unwise decision not to leave one. Liang Gong shook his head helplessly, and spat at the mouth, there were a few blood streaks faintly sandwiched in it, the arrows used by the Holo River Clan to deal with wild beasts were really powerful, he was wearing iron armor and was shot in the chest in front of the prince, although he couldn't lose half a point, but he was shocked and injured his five organs.

There are not many soldiers sent by the Holo River clan to sneak into the rear from the tunnel, and after a period of slaughter, the corpses are all over the ground, and they can only count thirty corpses, but these thirty people are holding strong bows and scimitars, and they are desperately killing more than 70 people in the Yao army, compared to Da Yao's heavy casualties.

"General Qiyu, all the enemies on the opposite side retreated, our army suffered a total of more than 600 wounds, 200 died, and Gu joined the army and died heroically."

In the main general's tent, Yi Chenjing sat in front of the desk, staring at the spread topographic map with an expressionless face, and Xiao Baishan, Liang Gong, Chen An and others below were also calm and silent, and the depression after suffering a big loss was overflowing.

"Killing thirty enemy soldiers for eight hundred casualties of our army, Gu Yushi's only son died in battle, how, everyone, do you still think that the Holo River Khanate is a group of barbarians who don't understand tactics." With a cold snort, Yi Chenjing pushed away the map, and his anger was unconcealed, "Since you have already discovered that the sound of the horse's hooves on the ground is wrong, why don't you report it in time." Don't join the army, what should you be guilty of? ，”

"If your subordinates have made a big mistake negligently, please punish the general." Mo Senjun knelt in the center of the tent, his head buried very low, "At that time, I found that the sound of horses stepping on the ground was very hollow, and my subordinates thought that it was just the reason for the underground water veins passing by, and they didn't think much about it, but they didn't know that it would lead to heavy casualties for our army, and they knew it was ......."

"I knew it was so. I didn't expect the enemy to be so cunning, did I? You are all battle-hardened warriors, how can you be so light on the enemy in the face of the sudden rise of the Khoro Khanate for more than ten years. Last time, if it wasn't for the two Qiao Dahe brothers who defended it, it was very likely that our army's food and grass would have been burned, and this time there were not many enemies, otherwise it would not be us who are sitting here now, but the leaders of the Holo River who were ecstatic about the success of the sneak attack,"

No one has ever seen the angry Yi Chenjing since the march, but what he said is not wrong, along the way, the prince who is the main general has reminded him many times not to underestimate the enemy, and it is their self-righteous veterans who can't listen to it that has led to the current situation. Xiao Baishan let out a long sigh, and the vicissitudes of life on his face were endless: "The matter has come to this, the general does not need to be too angry, the last general has ordered people to check the tunnels inch by inch, it is better to camp here for a few days, firstly, to prevent the enemy from secretly attacking from the tunnels again, and secondly, it can also allow the three armies to rest a little, this night's sneak attack makes the soldiers tired and frightened, and low morale is always not conducive to fighting." ”

"Moving on is tantamount to asking for your own death. The order went down, and the three armies rested in place for three days, during which all tunnels must be sealed, and the Holo River Clan must not be allowed to have another chance to sneak attack. ”

"The last general commands." Taking advantage of Yi Chenjing's efforts to talk to the others, Xiao Baishan secretly looked at Bai Qige sitting in the corner, the young princess didn't know what she was thinking, and she couldn't see that she was so smart and brave in her bones. Even though Yi Chenjing put the credit for protecting the grain and grass on the two Qiao Dahe brothers, everyone in the army knew that the real hero was the princess Bai Qige, and last night's surprise attack on Huoluohe was also due to her timely discovery and timely notification so that everyone could be prepared to avoid accidents. It's no wonder that Yi Chenjing even has to take her with her on the expedition, and the critical moment is indeed even more useful than these experienced veterans.

After arranging the recent affairs and retiring everyone, Yi Chenjing knelt on the desk tiredly, Bai Qige was still silent in the corner, and the two of them had different thoughts and differences for a whole half a day.

Recalling that he was in front of Bai Qige at that time, Yi Chenjing, who had always cherished his life extremely much, couldn't help but be at a loss, he had always been suspicious of Bai Qige's seemingly concealed alienation and resistance, and it stands to reason that he would not do such a reckless act, but the facts are in front of him and cannot be quibbled, no one forced him with a knife, it was he who took the initiative to take her in his arms to protect her, the reason is ...... Who knows.

I was worried about the war for a day and a night, and I slowly felt a little tired when I lay on the desk, Yi Chenjing didn't even bother to take off his armor, so he closed his eyes and planned to take a nap. I was in a daze and rested for a while, and suddenly there was a coldness on my face, and I raised my head with my tired body frowning, and I was looking at a calm face with ugly scars.

"Don't sleep yet, it's easy to get inflamed if you don't rub the medicine." Bai Qige's fingertips lightly tapped on the side of Yi Chenjing's face, where there was a two-inch-long but not deep wound, which was scratched by a stray arrow.

Dipping the white cloth in water and carefully wiping away the coagulated bloodstains, the force was gentle and gentle, Yi Chenjing really couldn't imagine how her hands could be the pair of the barbarian warriors of the Holo River, when he heard Qiao Erhe talk about how she calmly subdued the enemy, even Xiao Baishan and the others were amazed, and he couldn't help but secretly think about a question.

Is it really safe to keep such a rough woman around? She stabbed him one night when something didn't go her way.

"What are you laughing at?" Bai Qige subconsciously touched his face and asked inexplicably.

"I'm just wondering which one is the real you." Holding the hand on the side of his face that slowly applied the wound medicine, Yi Chenjing stared quietly at the pair of black and white eyes, "I have seen your stinky temper, such gentleness but rarely seen, probably only when facing your second brother and surnamed Ning, you can appreciate it by light." ”

Bai Qige withdrew his hand and shrank it in his sleeve, and put the medicine bottle on the table: "Apply it yourself, whoever is good to me will naturally be good to whom, why should you be gentle with you." ”

Yi Chenjing avoided answering, leaned lazily on the desk, and pointed to the cheek that only exposed the wound.

"You know if I'm good to you or not."

If it's not good, how can you not even stand in the way of her life. Even though it was something he hadn't even thought about.

Picked up the medicine bottle again and gently smeared it on Yi Chenjing's face, Bai Qige was silent for a long time, seeing that he didn't make a sound for a long time, he thought he was asleep, and lightly detoured behind him to untie the armor and tie it to take off the heavy iron armor. After a little hesitation, Bai Qige stretched out his arms and wrapped himself around Yi Chenjing to untie the last lacing, but he was caught by the warm palm.

"Take off your armor and then sleep, it's heavy, and it's easy to crush your body." Sticking to his ear and whispering, Bai Qige continued to untie the stubborn tie.

She had taken his deliberate actions as a precaution.

Yi Chenjing's hand pulled hard, Bai Qige couldn't help but move forward and got much closer, the whole person almost pounced on his back, even if there was still one hand to support and barely kneel, too close to Yi Chenjing's head and hit her in the face of the breath still made Bai Qige feel embarrassed and awkward.

To this day, she is still hesitant about how to deal with the relationship between the two.

"I'm tired, tired." The marginal words came from Yi Chenjing's mouth, low and almost muttering, and when he leaned to the side and lay down, even Bai Qige also fell, and with a wave of his hand, Bai Qige, who was leaning behind him, was pulled in front of him and lay down on the couch face to face.

It was only evening, and the twilight began to open, and the people outside the tent were noisy and footsteps. Bai Qige gasped and slapped Yi Chenjing's chest: "Let go, be careful that someone comes in." ”

"No matter." The Seventh Prince of Da Yao, who was almost cheating, looked like a willful child, with his eyes closed and his head on Bai Qige's forehead, his voice revealing deep fatigue, "Don't care about anything, I just want to sleep well, just for a while." ”
