Chapter 6: The Fish and the Bear's Paw
!>!>
June 208 BC
After Xiang Liang defeated the Qin army in Dong'e and Taoqiu, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang also led their troops to capture Chengyang.
The battlefield is a men's world, and I, Yu Ji, and Mrs. Liu were left in the camp, which was deserted, except for some soldiers who were responsible for protecting our safety.
The sky is getting dark, and Ari holds the lamp in his hand, and he reads: "I don't know how long this battle will last.
"These people who fight and kill every day are actually the people who don't want to fight the most." I closed the bamboo slip in my hand and lowered my eyes, "I never knew.
"I heard that the eldest son is a military advisor, and he only needs to observe the battle situation, and he doesn't need to go into battle to kill the enemy." Ari comforted me.
"Of course he doesn't have to go into battle to kill the enemy. I smiled and sighed, "I really pity those people who are strong in martial arts."
The smile on my face froze, and Wu Yi's agile figure instantly appeared in my mind.
I took out the jade fracture fan that I had kept with other items, and I repeatedly rubbed the cloud patterns on the jade bone, only to feel that even my chest was in pain.
If this momentum continues, Wu Yi will one day stand on the opposite side of Changxi, and when that time comes, what should I do.
At night, I tossed and turned, and I couldn't sleep, and I sat up and just wanted to flip through the book for a while, when I felt a vibration on the ground, and there was the sound of horses' hooves.
This is the sound of the army coming back.
"Snow Maiden." A small soldier shouted loudly outside the tent: "The army is back to the camp.
"Come." I got dressed, and I put the lamp back on.
The army returned to the camp, many of the soldiers were covered with paint, their original neat armor was tattered, many of them were wearing clothes without sleeves and trousers without trousers, and yet even so, they all had happy smiles on their faces.
I walked through the soldiers and walked towards the carriage where the chief was located, but before I could lift the curtains, I heard a fierce quarrel from within.
An old man said angrily, "Don't move, if you really want to be crippled, I won't stop you."
"I know my body best, I say no, I don't have to." The long voice was hoarse, as if roaring.
I felt a pain in my heart, and I opened the curtain of the carriage without thinking about it, and asked nervously, "What's wrong with you?"
The people inside were stunned at first when they saw me, and then hurriedly found a blanket to cover Changxi's body.
"Girl, this is not something that one of your daughters should see." An old man with gray hair and beard frowned and said, "Let's go back and wait for now."
I ignored him, climbed into the carriage and knelt down beside Changxi, stroked his sweaty face and said distressedly: "Changxi, does it hurt, where does it hurt, you tell me ......."
"I'm fine." He gently took my hand, and a slight tremor spread from his palm to my heart.
"Girl, it seems that you have an unusual relationship with Master Ji, please persuade him." The white-bearded old man frowned and said, "He was injured like this, but he didn't let the old man treat him.
"Where is the wound?" I asked.
The old man raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "At the base of the thigh, Lord Ji is thin-skinned, and he won't let the old man see it."
The old man's angry look was very aggrieved, and it looked a little cute, and I couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at, girl?" The old man snorted: "Don't you think the old man is joking with you."
"Not really." I stopped laughing, stretched out my hand to him, and said, "Please give me the medicine and I'll give him the medicine."
"You, your daughter's family, don't you know to avoid suspicion." The old man was surprised.
I looked calm: "No one in this camp knows that I am his person, and I am just a matter of rubbing medicine for him."
"I see." The old man looked at me, handed me the small package of medicine, and said, "Give him good medicine first, and then use a cloth to help him bandage the wound.
The old man seemed relieved to see me nod, and then got out of the carriage with his medicine box.
I was the only one in the carriage, me and Changxi, and I blushed in the face, and I reached out to pull the blanket that was covering him, but my hand was suddenly grabbed by Changxi, and he looked at me, looking like he wanted to say something.
"Why, I'm not shy, what are you afraid of?" I smiled stiffly, but my face burned brighter.
"It's not that you're shy, it's that you're afraid of regret." He tightened his grip on my hand. If you medicate me, you and I will have skin to skin....... If you don't want to stay with me......"
I laughed, "Where else can I go but stay with you?"
"Of course there are places to go." Changxi looked at me, his eyes burning: "Like the owner of that folding fan."
I felt a chill in my heart, some annoyance, some grievances, these feelings were stored up in my heart, and I couldn't speak for a while.
"You speak." He had a hard hand and a pinching that hurt me, and his eyes were sharp as if he wanted to see me in my heart.
He had never looked at me with such a compelling gaze, nor had he spoken to me in such a condemning tone, and I knew that he minded everything between me and Wu Yi, but his distrust of me was the most painful to my heart.
"Why do you think I'm here?" I held back my tears, and my voice was cold: "At the hairpin banquet three years ago, Wu Yi brought me back to his garden from Afang Palace, and named me the princess.
Changxi looked at me, his face was slightly blue.
"He said he regretted it, he said he wanted to trade me for his life, and he thought that I had become his life." I gritted my teeth and choked up, "He has done so much for me, but I have always been thinking about you in my heart, and even left him to come to your side.
His eyes were slightly red, his lips trembled, but he didn't spit out a word for a long time.
"You speak." I cried.
A pair of hands held my face and pulled my head down, and then two warm lips were pasted up, swallowing all my weepings and grievances. It was a long kiss, very long, very gentle, and when Changxi finally let go of me, I saw that his lips had turned a seductive peach, as if he had been coated with rouge.
"Cher......" He pulled me to lie down beside him, pressed against my forehead and whispered, "How could I give you away, I'm just afraid you don't want me."
I sighed softly, reached out to his face, and muttered, "How could I not want you, you are so good, I can't love you yet."
