Because the Yuantian Domain where Jingshan is located is far away from the Qixiu Domain, this time it will take much longer than going to Guan Yun Domain. But fortunately, this time the generals are all battle-hardened, so it doesn't matter to them that something as tiring and boring as rushing is coming. And I, after the last experience, take this as normal and don't think there is anything wrong with it.

What was different from the last time was not only the distance and time, but also the attitude towards me at midnight. Although Midnight and I are more intimate than before, and they are no longer mysterious, but because of the appearance of Jun Youxiao, Midnight has very little time to talk to me. He and Jun Youxiao were talking about something about the war that I didn't understand, and although I knew, I still didn't know the specific content.

Midnight saw that I didn't fit in and added me to it several times, but it ended up because I didn't understand. This topic was brought up by Jun Youxiao, and he wanted to talk about it because every time he talked to him in the middle of the night, he wanted to talk about it. But I was left to dry.

Sulking, I had no choice but to leave them, and I was glad that Xin Mo, who had been with us before, also came. He was more easy-going, and at the same time, he learned to make jokes. I walked over to Xin Mo and chatted with him to pass the time.

"How is it, have you adapted to coming out for so long?" Xin Mo asked.

"I've been used to it for a long time, how can I not be used to it. ”

"Don't you want that one in the family?"

I frowned, looked puzzled, and asked, "Which one?" ”

Xin Mo smiled curiously and said, "It's the one Qiu County Lord who was given by the realm lord." I heard that the lord of Qiu County is not only good-looking, but also very dignified, and at first glance he is the daughter of the princely general's family. It's just that I think you guys don't really match each other in one place. ”

"What's the matter? Prince Qiu still said that I am dignified, and besides, I am a general, what is not worthy of her?"

Xin Mo laughed out loud and said, "Look, you refuted it like this when I said the last sentence, it seems that you still have her in your heart." ”

Hearing this, I quickly explained, saying, "No, I just heard you say that I am like this, and no one can bear the provocation of others." Besides, I don't have to marry her. Does everyone know about my family?"

"No, most of the generals know, and it is estimated that the entire empty building will know about it soon. ”

"Oh no, it's going to be misunderstood, it's not her who will follow me in the future. ”

"Why, there are people who like it. Which girl is it, I'll tell you about it. ”

I blushed and stammered slightly, "No one's family, you don't talk nonsense here, we're going to war, how can we talk about this." You're not like that, you don't like to joke like that. ”

Xin Mo smiled again, this time gently, silently, but his expression was full of stability and gentleness. That's why I like to be with Xin Mo, Xin Mo has always been focused on practical things, but it's not unsmiling, some jokes can still be made, but it's very measured. Before, Commander Mu asked me to ask him if I had any questions, but now that I think about it, Commander Wood's suggestion is completely correct.

Looking at Midnight and Jun Youxiao in front of them, the two of them looked relaxed, Jun Youxiao was also talking and laughing, it seems that they are no longer talking about military affairs, they should be chatting. Just looking at the way they look, it's hard to see what they're saying.

At this time, Jun Youxiao was talking with Midnight about which family's son fell in love with whose young lady, and suddenly changed his expression. He had a wicked smile on his face, not knowing what was going on in his head.

"Yanchen Chi, that kid seems to like you. ”

Midnight shook his face and said, "So what?"

"Don't you know?"

"How can I know what is on his heart. ”

Jun Youxiao looked pity and said, "I thought you knew it in the middle of the night." ”

He put his face to Midnight's ear again, and whispered, "It seems that you like Yanchen Chi very much, you can't be together, right?"

I looked from a distance, and I saw that Jun Youxiao was too close to Midnight, and Midnight's face suddenly turned crimson. I thought Jun Youxiao was saying something embarrassing. As I approached them, I saw that the midnight had vanished in an instant, and that it had been strange to her. Jun Youxiao also left Midnight's side. I quickly stopped my horse, thinking that it was too abrupt to appear, only to realize that it was too late.

Looking at me who suddenly appeared, the expression on Jun Youxiao's face was very flat, and he said: "Midnight, it seems that we are still being watched, and Yanchen will come late as soon as something happens." You say yes, Chenchi?"

Because he was still regretting his sudden arrival, he couldn't get around his words for a while.

Jun Youxiao turned around and rode to his lieutenant general, and said as he walked: "Then I won't bother, the good times will be me." I've done so much to bother me before. ”

Saying that, Jun Youxiao looked at Midnight with strange eyes, and then looked at me, quite naughty. Watching Jun Youxiao leave, I couldn't understand what he meant, until I saw Midnight's face. It dawned on me that he was joking about us.

"Why did he do this all of a sudden? ”

Midnight stared at Jun Youxiao's back and said, "He knows." ”

"What? got it, so what are we going to do?" I quickly asked.

Because we were very secretive about our relationship before midnight, and no one was allowed to see anything. This time, Jun Youxiao's sudden see-through was a blow to me who had been oppressed by the spirit of Midnight for a long time, and I had a feeling that the secret of my life had been discovered, and I even had a feeling that I wanted to be killed.

"It's okay. I said it, Jun Youxiao doesn't have to hide it. Naturally, he is just a little different this time, and it will be normal in the future. ”

"You know him so well, did he do it before?"

Midnight shook his head and said, "No, I know him. ”

Looking at such a reassuring midnight, I don't think much about it. Anyway, the person I've been worried about is Midnight herself, and I've never thought about what to do if our relationship is exposed. However, before midnight, he did say that Jun Youxiao didn't have to hide it, and it didn't seem like a big deal.

The days that followed were as Midnight said, Jun Youxiao didn't take that matter to heart at all, but when there was no one else, we talked about it. He had a sense of proportion, knowing that he didn't tell him about this because he had concerns. He jokes very rarely, he is simply thinking about Midnight's feelings, and even if he knows about my relationship with Midnight now, he will still care about Midnight as always. I really don't know if I'm glad or angry.

I knocked off Jun Youxiao's hand on Midnight's shoulder and said, "General Jun, pay attention, this is on the way to the march." ”

Jun Youxiao was still normal, and said with a nonchalant face: "What, General Yan is afraid that I have something wrong to think about?" Don't worry, I won't touch yours." ”

The last sentence was said in a very low voice, and if you don't pay attention to it, you can't hear it at all. Besides, now the three of us are so far away from the others that no one can hear us at all. So we still have a small fight, and we don't have any scruples at all.

An Sima, who was looking at us, asked Xin Mo, "They are really idle." ”

"I can't say that, we soldiers who don't take our lives seriously, of course, must cherish every day of life. ”

An Sima smiled and said, "I know, that's why we seem so casual." However, looking at General Yan's appearance, I remembered that when we were young and first joined the army, I really don't know if he would be able to frolic like this after many wars. ”

"Others are looking at you to warn and regret, but only I know that you are **naked jealousy. ”

An Sima laughed and said, "It's still the deputy general who understands me." How good the innocent days were before, and when the war is over and the disarmament is returned to the field, then it will be time to miss this time. ”

Xin Mo's eyes darkened for a moment, and he said, "It's almost over, after these battles, it will be over." When the time comes, the people will be well, the country will be prosperous, and nothing will be better. ”

It is precisely because I have not experienced too many wars that I don't understand the depth of midnight and the seriousness of Jun Youxiao, and their ability to disguise themselves is out of commonplace for death. Perhaps, only after I have experienced too much will I understand that Jun Youxiao's good treatment of Midnight is because of his cherishing of his comrades-in-arms, and Midnight's indifference to people is because he is afraid that others will be heartbroken because of her sudden departure.

After almost two months of walking, we were already tired of this kind of trip. Even those jokes have been exhausted, and talking about serious topics at this point will only make the atmosphere even more wrong. At this time, we learned to communicate with our eyes, and before we could say a word, the other party saw through our thoughts at a glance. The more this happens, the harder the time becomes.

We are all just looking at the road under our feet now, and we are not interested in the beauty of the surrounding scenery.

I don't know when it started, but the team behind us suddenly made a cacophony of noises, and even heard cheers. As soon as I looked behind me, I was stopped by midnight.

"Chenchi, look. ”

Looking in the direction of Midnight's finger, I saw a continuous stream of mountains, although this road is a mountain road, but this mountain range is different. The mountains are not only close to each other, but they are all exceptionally high, and there is a peak in the sky in between, and there is no end in sight, as if it reaches straight into the sky. Although there were layers of clouds and mist, I could still see the blue-blue mountain wrapped in it. This momentum alone can be breathtaking.

This is the Pure Mountain.

"We're almost there, midnight. I said excitedly to Midnight.

But Midnight was not as excited as I thought, she just looked up at Jingshan and nodded in agreement. The excitement on Jun Youxiao's face also passed for a moment, and then it was serious again.

"It looks close, but it's actually far away. Jun Youxiao left this sentence and accelerated with the army.

I looked at Midnight's eyes looking at me, and I understood that Midnight was thinking the same in his heart. Because they have seen such a situation for a long time, they are even more calm, not because they are commonplace, but because they know that it is too early to be happy.

We had to find a place to camp before it got dark.

Because the terrain here is not very good, and this is near the mountains, the matter of camping is still about to be settled. We did not gather together on the open ground, as we used to, but in the shape of an army, like a hemp rope.

After dinner, I sat on a rock far from the crowd and meditated, when suddenly a piece of bread was handed over in the middle of the night.

"Don't be reckless, I know you've had a bowl of rice soup tonight. It's been like this for days. ”

I didn't answer, and said, "We have been in the mountains for the past few days, there is no food supply, everyone is saving, I am riding on a horse every day, and I can't eat any more." ”

"Don't worry, it's mine, you can eat it, it's not much. ”

I pushed it to Midnight and said, "I can't eat you." ”

"It's just a piece of bread, as for it?"

As he spoke, Midnight tore open the dough and tore a small portion from it, leaving most of it behind. She threw the small piece in her mouth and chewed it carefully, it was very delicious. It's obviously a tasteless piece of dough, and this expression is pretended by her. Then she smiled in a way that had been rare for the past few days, and handed me the big piece.

I took it, and I knew that midnight was shown to me. Midnight never gave in, she could give me the food in another way, it can be seen that Midnight has made up her mind.

Seeing me eat, Midnight Gu swallowed the last bite and smiled softly. I don't remember when Midnight started smiling at people, I just remember that it wasn't like this before Midnight, and it wasn't so gentle.

I didn't hold back, and touched Midnight's hair, just like I combed her hair before leaving. Touching Midnight's hair back and forth, I didn't notice that her hair was no longer smooth, because she hadn't washed for a long time, and Midnight's face looked dusty. This should not be the sin that she should suffer as a woman. Suddenly, my heart began to cherish the midnight.

Midnight touched my face in turn, touched the stubble that had grown on my face, and Midnight must have felt prickly.

"You've been on the road for so long, you're a lot haggard, but you're ripe. Midnight said.

I smiled and said nothing, put down my hand on Midnight's head, and said, "It's time to be ripe." ”

Midnight smiled back at me, then got up and left. I grabbed Midnight's hand, and with a single moment, I let go. Midnight looked back at me again, and never looked back. I always feel that this time, we will be greeted by a tough battle, and maybe we will have to part with life and death in the future.

The next day, before the sun was full, we had already begun to pack up our tents. Since I didn't have to manage these things, I went to Midnight first. But unexpectedly, Midnight has been standing in front of his tent, staring at one of the pillars.

When I got closer, I realized that there was an arrow staring at it, and it had already entered the wood, and it seemed that it was a person with great strength. The arrow was tied to a letter, and a black rope was attached to it. Jun Youxiao hurried here, he should have gotten the news.

"Are you alright?" said the two of us at about the same time.

Midnight shook his head, and when he saw that we had all arrived, he pulled out the arrow. Because of the great strength, it took a lot of effort to pull it out in the middle of the night, and finally I went up to help. Midnight took the letter and handed me the arrow.

In the middle of the night, the letter was unfolded, and a sentence was reflected in front of our eyes:

Don't move forward, don't meddle, it's none of your business at this time.

There is only so much content on the letter, and there is a red butterfly drawn on the back, the more you look at it, the more familiar it becomes.

I've seen this butterfly, in the room in the middle of the night, the mask on the table. Scene after scene unfolded in my mind. The butterfly on the white mask is this one, exactly the same, all of them are burned in the fire. They are all struggling with their wings to get rid of the fire they carry.

With an idea, I quickly looked at the arrow in my hand.

"What should I do?" Jun Youxiao asked.

"Don't be alarmed, it's just a threatening letter, we've all received it before. Relax, it's just the locals trying to stop us. That's right. Chenchi, what clues does this arrow have?"

I took a closer look and said, "There's no problem, looking at the production method and pattern, it's right in this area of Jingshan." It was set up by the local rioters to stop us. It's just that they still don't understand the purpose of doing this. ”

I didn't say anything about butterflies in front of Jun Youxiao, this is not what Midnight wants.

Midnight ignored the arrow, and she continued as usual, and her speed increased considerably. Jun Youxiao and I are also obedient to Midnight, although we are at the same level, and this time the right to act is owned by Jun Youxiao. But we still follow the meaning of midnight from the heart, as long as it is not something out of the ordinary.

It didn't take long for us to arrive in front of a stone monument. The stele was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the handwriting engraved on it was also covered. There are even vines growing on the top of the stele, so no one has passed by for a long time.

Jun Youxiao ordered the pathfinder to go and take a look, and when the man came back, his face was full of excitement, and after Jun Youxiao told him about the situation, he was also very happy.

"Yuantian Domain, Jingshan, it's here. ”

Before we could rejoice, we heard movement around us. A group of people sprang out of the surrounding grass in an instant, and each of them had weapons in their hands, most of which were crossbows that could attack from a distance.

Immediately, we heard what looked like a female voice from the depths of the hollow.

"Guests from afar, I don't know why?"
