The warmth of last night has not yet dissipated, thinking that no one has long time, but when I woke up, I found that it was almost dawn. The sun has not yet risen, but according to the law of our usual wake-ups, now is the time we usually wake up. Soon, the sunrise is coming over this cave.

The midnight that had been leaning against me had woken up, and I felt embarrassed by the memories of last night.

However, Midnight didn't take that seriously, after all, it was indeed a small thing in the things Midnight usually faced. Midnight suddenly raised his head, making the place where Midnight pressed on his shoulder just now very uncomfortable, and even felt numbness with coldness.

When I moved my body in the middle of the night, I saw me covering my shoulder, put my hand on my shoulder, and asked, "Did it press you?"

"No, just some discomfort that has nothing to do with you. ”

I don't dare touch that place now, it feels like it's a bit more plain in the numbness, so much so that I only feel pain now.

Midnight suddenly moved her hand, rubbing my shoulder back and forth. The already painful shoulder was excruciated by this move. The expression on my face became hideous with the movement of the Midnight Hand, almost bringing my facial features together.

"Don't move, don't move, I'm very uncomfortable with you like this, it hurts. ”

"I know, but that's not the way you can do it. The more you move like this, the more you will open up the bloodlines here, and the faster you will get better. You have to endure everything. ”

"It's not your shoulder, you haven't done that to yourself. ”

Midnight thought for a moment and said, "I really wouldn't do this to myself, because I wouldn't make such a low-level mistake." I didn't sleep well. ”

Seeing that Midnight cared so much about preaching, I was embarrassed to say why I made my shoulders so uncomfortable, but I thought it was my mistake because of my posture, and slowly responded to Midnight's blame.

Midnight rubbed my shoulder, and my shoulder slowly healed. Because I never spoke, I kept rubbing it in the middle of the night. I turned my face sideways to see her attentiveness, and it really made me decide to live in this cave in vain.

"Did you say we're still going out?"

Midnight finally let go of his hand, looked at the sky, and said, "Yes." ”

"You're comforting. "I squeezed my shoulder slightly, this is the Demon Forest, no one is here for us.

"No, Xuan Feng is not here, haven't you noticed? Xuan Feng is a good at remembering the way, and he will definitely call someone to come. Trust it, it will. ”

Looking at Midnight's face, there was no expression of comfort on his own, but a belief from the bottom of his heart. Before, Midnight's face would never have such a color, and he would not learn to soothe others like he does now.

"Yes, it will come. Midnight repeated, muttering to himself.

It was a long time before midnight withdrew his eyes and looked at everything in the cave again. At this time, the sun has risen, as usual. The sun doesn't rise at a different time because I'm in a different place and situation than midnight. The sun will rise as they wish, and so will they.

"Is your leg okay?" Midnight asked suddenly.

I looked at my retreat and said, "It's okay, now I barely feel any pain because I haven't moved." I'll move it now and see if it hurts. ”

Midnight quickly stopped me and said, "Don't move, make trouble yourself." In this way, it will save you the pain for a while, and it will be even more ugly than just now. ”

"Did I look ugly?"

"Yes, it's ugly. I've never seen such an ugly expression, it's really embarrassing, and people who are so big are still afraid of pain. ”

I didn't speak, thinking about the problem in my mind. Seeing that I didn't speak, I thought I was angry with her words, so she hurried to comfort me.

"Okay, I'm just going to tell you about it. You didn't look ugly at all, you were cute, like a child. ”

"I'm not angry, you see you're afraid, you obviously love to be angry, and you still think that others love to be angry as you. ”

Midnight lowered his head and gathered his clothes. Of course, I had my back to her, so she was bold enough to tie the strip of her shirt.

"Midnight. ”

Midnight lowered his head, obviously not taking my words seriously, and didn't look up at me at all.

"Huh?" replied casually in the middle of the night.

"Do you think I'm going to give up my legs because they didn't come to the rescue in time. ”

Midnight turned her head up, she covered my mouth, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, okay, what are you doing with this, this is the most taboo for using soldiers." ”

I grabbed Midnight's hand and asked, "If this leg is really useless, will you dislike me?"

I asked this question seriously, without any jokes.

"I have to think about the situation. Midnight also answered seriously, she knew I wasn't joking.

"What if it's the way it is?"

"I don't dislike it, at least for now. ”

Even though Midnight said that, my heart still felt like I had let go of my burden. I don't know how Midnight will answer, but I know that any answer I give to Midnight is acceptable. Midnight is not like others, she is always speaking her heart, I would rather make people feel the reality than hypocritical lies.

Midnight's tone suddenly became serious because of this, and she said: "How about the martial spirit, after we go back, we can't let others know about our affairs." ”

"Why?" I turned to look at Midnight, who had already set up her clothes.

"I always feel that this kind of thing is better known to fewer people, and this is not a glorious thing. Do you want to be known all over the city?"

"No, no," I shook my hand, "I just thought it was weird to hear you say that, but I actually thought the same thing as you." However, do you want to know?"

Midnight sneered without bad intentions and said, "You are still obsessed with that incident." ”

"No, I just think you've always had a good relationship with him, and it's not surprising that he knows. ”

"Needless to say, with his insight, he will understand. But it doesn't hurt him to know. ”

We started a discussion about Jun Youxiao, and I even learned about Jun Youxiao's past. However, some people who need to be conservative are still kept secret for Jun Youxiao in the middle of the night, which I don't mind.

In between conversations, we gradually lose our heat, and after being hungry for so long, anyone will lose strength. Just as we were about to conserve our strength, Midnight suddenly held his breath and motioned for me to do the same.

Midnight's face suddenly showed a look of joy, and she suddenly stood up and said, "It's Xuanfeng." ”

When I heard this in the middle of the night, I looked around, but it was the sound of a horse barking. Strangely, I heard the sound of horses' hooves not only from one horse, but from two or three, and with the footsteps of people.

"Well, tell me what you heard. "Sit down in the middle of the night and ask me.

From the very beginning of my training, Midnight discovered my keen observation and imposed training on that basis, so that I can now discern things on the battlefield by looking at sounds and tracks.

"There must have been two or three horses, and they moved slowly, probably to be wary of the special terrain here. However, compared to other normal driving, in the Demon Forest, this speed should be faster, probably familiar with the road. In addition to this, there were also the sound of footsteps, the sound was slow and scattered, it should be the two larger people, or two soldiers in armor. The voice is getting clearer and clearer, and it should be coming to us. ”

Midnight smiled appreciatively, and she was acknowledging what I said.

In this way, if my inference is correct, then these should be our soldiers who came, and it was Xuanfeng who informed our army that they had come to save us.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before we were at the entrance of the cave and saw a human head, and he was looking down.

Xin Mo is Xin Mo. Xin Mo came to save us with Xuanfeng.

The rope fell from the sky, like a sudden arrival of hope. Midnight stood up and helped me to my feet again. I felt the pain of regression not as strong as before, so I was able to stand up if I persevered.

I stumbled to my feet, pulled the nearest rope and handed it to Midnight.

"You go first. Midnight said.

"No, I'm injured, it's better for you to take it first, wait for it to go up, and then pull me up. ”

After watching me for a while, he took the lead in going up. Midnight's physical fitness was very good, and with the rope, she only took a short time to climb up.

Later, Xin Mo and Midnight pulled me, an immobile person, up.

Because there was only one horse, Xuanfeng, and because I couldn't walk, I gave Xuanfeng to me in midnight. Out of my own embarrassment, I gave up another piece of Xuanfeng.

Midnight sat behind me, stretching his hand forward and pulling the reins, as if holding me. I don't know if it was deliberate in the middle of the night, but I barely had any physical contact with the middle night. Fortunately, Midnight's weight has always been very light, and the slender bones have no burden on Xuan Feng's body at all. And I've always looked weak because of my weakness. So the two of us riding a horse together won't be too much of a burden on Xuan Feng.

Xin Mo looked at us, didn't say much, just smiled.

On the way back, I asked Midnight softly, "Can you tell Xin Mo that I already know about him?" ”

"It's better not to say. ”

"Why?"

"If you want to say it, Xin Mo found you that night anyway, but he didn't say it. Being mentioned like this by you, I'm afraid Vice Xin will be embarrassed. ”

Looking at Xin Mo, I still spoke: "Xin Mo, I know about you." ”

Xin Mo smiled slightly, didn't take it seriously, and said, "I know." ”

"Don't you ask me what I know?"

"I know what you're talking about. Xin Mo still didn't change his expression.

I heard the sneer from midnight behind me, and I felt a humiliation in my heart.

"Xin Mo. Don't you ask us how we've been doing for the past half day?"

"Look at what you look like, you don't have to ask. ”

Perhaps because of my weak heart, I was uncomfortable with Xin Mo's answer, and hurriedly asked, "What are we like?"

"There was a leg injury, nothing happened, so everything was fine. When did you suffer this injury?"

I touched my thigh and said, "When I fell, I must have hit a stone, and I guess it broke." If the time is delayed, I am afraid it will be wasted. ”

I heard my own midnight "tsk". I know she wants to say I don't want to talk nonsense.

"Is everything fine with the army, and nothing is going wrong?" Midnight suddenly interjected.

"Back to the general, it's all right together. Rest assured, general. ”

Midnight suddenly stopped talking, and I knew it was a bad sign. Sure enough, Midnight ended up asking questions that disturbed the current atmosphere.

"What did Li Sima say and do?"

"Back to the general, this is a subordinate who can't say it for a while, but with the general's usual understanding, he should be able to come up with one or two. ”

Midnight sneered and didn't say anything, just continued to hold the reins.

I know why Midnight sneered, Li Sima's temper is also understood now, when Midnight is there, he is obedient, and when he is absent or frustrated, he is sneering, lest he is not a general.

Because Xuanfeng knew the way, and because we both went back and forth twice, we quickly returned to the city. As Xin Mo said, everything is fine in the city, but the atmosphere is a little wrong.

When we arrived at the city, it was An Sima who greeted us, and Midnight jumped down one step ahead of everyone, followed by Xin Mo, and finally me. I was carried down, and then a military doctor took me to see me. Ansima followed me all the time, his face full of worry.

And it came to my tent in the middle of the night, after giving orders to the offices.

"How's that?" Midnight asked.

I sighed and said, "It's hopeless, I'm useless, I wouldn't have said nonsense if I had known it." ”

Midnight glared for a moment and said, "Tell the truth." ”

"Well, it's just a contusion, just a few days of recuperation. ”

Midnight seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but this appearance was not seen by others. Xin Mo had already gone out, and An Sima was playing with some of my furnishings here, and no one cared about my conversation with Midnight.

"I went out and came back like this. ”

Before you see it, you hear it first, the disgusting voice, the disgusting tone, you don't have to guess who it is.

Li Sima opened the curtain and walked in, he must have come after drinking. He looked at my legs, said a few polite words as if mockingly, and turned to talk to Midnight.

"General Mu went this time, did he find any useful traces?"

"I found out, it's General Qi and them. ”

Li Sima's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Where are they?"

"Go back. ”

"Where are you back?"

"Where else can I go back, of course, it's the Xiuze Realm. ”

At this time, Li Sima's eyes widened, full of incredulity: "What, just let them go." What if they come back and attack again?"

"I asked, they won't come back. ”

Li Sima sneered, this sneer was not like midnight, his sneer only made people feel disgusted.

"What they say, they are bluffing you. In case of repeated offenses, this responsibility is not something you and I can bear. ”

"Of course, the responsibility is not on your own. General Qi is not that kind of person, he is a righteous man and a gentleman, and everything he says is credible. ”

Li Sima was about to argue something, but was blocked by midnight.

"At least he's different from you. You're too bad. ”

Without waiting for Li Sima to get angry, he turned around and left in the middle of the night, leaving only the three people in the tent. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, An Sima hurriedly found an excuse and took refuge in Xin Mo, An Sima has always been such a person.

I stared at Li Sima, waiting for him to ask questions, to ask something that was not in line with the feelings. But he never spoke, I felt that he wanted to leave, but I felt unwilling and faceless to leave like this, so I froze here.

"Is there anything else going on with Li Sima?"

"No, I just came here to visit General Yan, and by the way, I didn't expect to touch my nose. "He's by no means self-deprecating.

"So Sima is angry?"

"Don't your subordinates dare?"

I suddenly put down and sat up straight and said, "What don't you dare, I see that you dare anything." ”

There is no anger or blame in my words, just a very ordinary tone, but there is a frightening tone in it.

It was because he felt my anger that Li Sima hurriedly said something to make up for it: "I think the general must have misunderstood something, and I ask the general not to embarrass his subordinates." ”

"Embarrassed?" is a good word, and it puts all the blame on us. But I have to ask, who is it that is difficult for whom?"

In fact, I know that Li Sima does not have the ability to be Sima at all, and this official position is simply what he has exchanged for years of blood and sweat. Li Sima was all about pacifying the war, and this was clear to the realm lord, so he gave him the position of Sima, and he didn't want him to complain. But Li Sima didn't know that he wasn't suitable for this position at all, or that he knew that he was just deceiving himself.

"What did the subordinate do wrong?"

"You don't think too highly of yourself. ”

"What about you, general?" Li Sima's voice was only fiercely hateful, he was unwilling in his heart that I had the position of general without doing anything.

We froze like this, not giving any steps to each other, and at the same time tearing down our own last steps. We glared at each other, and neither of us could stop our anger when we knew the appearance of Xin Mo, who had rushed to hear the news.

Xin Mo pulled down the angry Li Sima and said, "What are you doing here, I don't know how to be humble." ”

Because he was angry, Li Sima said all the displeasure in his heart, and came to me alone: "Respectful? He is such a stinky boy, why should he be a general. It's not the woman who has the final say here. ”

"Because the commander said that General Yan fought for the first time, he did not have the fundamental command ability, and he would have it in the future. ”

"I don't know how to live my life in the future. ”

Li Sima put down his cruel words, pushed Xin Mo away, turned around and walked out of the tent.

"Wait a minute. "I stopped Sima Li. Xin Mo glanced at me and told me to stop quickly, but I just didn't see it.

"You say I'm not worthy, but I think you're not. Don't stare at me, after I'm healed, let you see what is unworthy. Someday you will regret what you did today. ”

Li Sima frowned, and then the corner of his right mouth rose, indicating his disdain. He turned and walked out, and the moment he went out, I repeated what he had just said, yes, I meant it to him.

"I don't know how to live my life in the future. ”

Li Sima was stunned at the door, and immediately threw down the curtain again and left angrily.

Seeing that there was no way to calm down, Xin Mo cleaned up the house for me and left.

Midnight, who was in no one's place, actually knew what was going on inside, because someone told her about the past. The man was all black, not very black. Although the silk cloth armor he wore was not as good as the willow leaf armor in midnight, he knew at a glance that he was a martial artist.

This man was the man I met at the door of the house at midnight that day. When he had finished what he had seen, he whispered a few words in Midnight's ear, took three steps back, and disappeared into thin air.

When he came back to see me in the middle of the night, the look in his eyes had become deeper than ever. At a casual glance, the black cloth band on her left wrist had been lifted up a lot from its original position, but the area it had covered had not changed. Midnight should have put it down and tied it back on, but I don't know why Midnight did it.

The only thing I know is that there are a lot of secrets in the middle of the night, and now is not the time to know.
