Chapter 25: What a Courage
Seeing that Jiang Yingnian was indeed no longer hostile to her, and was willing to carry her, Qu Yin said coquettishly: "You pull me up first, I'm like this, do you still want me to stand up by myself?" β
These words are full of coquettish meaning, Qu Yin's status is noble, she has been spoiled since she was a child, she wants to be angry, she wants to be angry, she wants to be angry, and she is as free to play as a commonplace.
But Jiang Yingnian was not moved by the coquettishness of the gorgeous little princess in front of him, and he even got goosebumps all over his body when he heard her chirping.
Qu Yin was still there and couldn't get up for a long time, which made him a little suspicious, could it really be that he shot too hard and injured her to stand up?
No, he had seen the arrow miss with her whip, and it had only grazed her leg slightly.
How can it be that serious?!
Jiang Yingnian suddenly remembered one thing, when he forced Guan Jiyu to race against Rufeng that year, he released a cold arrow behind her, and he deliberately aimed at her with that arrow, although the strength in his hand was a little smaller, but Guan Jiyu, who was unaware, was defenseless, not only was shot in the shoulder, but also fell hard.
At that time, he saw that a large patch of blood had been fainted from her white shirt, and her palms had been worn out from falling.
Qu Yin's coquettish chirping made him frown, Guan Jiyu was injured and fell a lot, but he was not as squeamish as Qu Yin. Guan Jiyu will quickly get up by herself when she falls, even if she is seriously injured, she will never say a word, she will only cover the wound without saying a word, and swallow all the pain silently.
Guan Jiyu is not a delicate and tender flower, she is more like a cactus, easy to feed and has strong endurance, and the most important thing is that she is covered with thorns!
The more Jiang Yingnian thought about it, the more irritable he became, he was a little confused for a while, he didn't know what he was doing now, why was he hiding here waiting to carry a woman he had just met? Moreover, this woman is still the enemy's sister!
Thinking of this, Jiang Yingnian was very remorseful for agreeing to this request without much thought about it!
So he put the bow in his hand back and stood up not to recite it any more. He stood up suddenly, not noticing Qu Yin behind him, and just stood up, about to climb on his back, this flick of the bow accidentally hit her, and knocked her back to the ground.
Qu Yin fell on his ass, looked at Jiang Yingnian incredulously, and exclaimed bitterly: "Hey! What's the matter with you?! β
Jiang Yingnian didn't care and said: "I changed my mind, I thought about it, what does it look like to let me carry you?" This move is really unsightly, inappropriate. β
Qu Yin tried to reason with him, and said: "You don't need to dare to contact me because of my identity as the princess of the lonely country, the current situation is special, I really can't help but hope that you can help, not to mention that there are just two of us here, no one sees it at all, how can you talk about elegance or unsightly?" β
As if worried that he still had some scruples, Qu Yin continued: "I won't let you help me in vain, I will thank you again in the future!" β
The princess of the dignified and lonely country, in this broken forest, she begged him to lend a hand in a low voice, and her words were so earnest that it was incumbent upon her to hurry to help this helpless girl when she heard it.
Jiang Yingnian frowned slightly after listening to her words, with an expression of "I don't approve of your words", and said: "No, I don't care about your identity as a princess, and you are not the princess of my Xuli Dynasty, your noble status is in your loneliness, what does it matter to me?" β
Qu Yin grew so big, she had never heard such rude and indifferent words, her face was red and white for a while, and she was stunned for a while before she spoke: "You person, your temper is really too bad." β
"Thank you." He still looked indifferent, plucked out his ears and said: "There are too many people who have said this about me since I was a child, and you are not the only one." β
Qu Yin bit her lip tightly, her pride did not allow her to continue to whisper to this person who had no sympathy in the slightest, she looked around, and it happened that there was a branch as thick as a forearm behind her, and she tried to reach for it, trying to use it as a cane to try to stand up.
After several attempts without success, Qu Yin's face was full of frustration, and there was no brilliance in his smart eyes, replaced by tears that gradually came up.
Jiang Yingnian cried the most, especially when women cried.
He didn't want to waste time here, and he really couldn't bear to leave her here like this, so he had to snatch the branch from Qu Yin's hand, and said impatiently: "You hold on, I'll pull you up." β
Qu Yin obediently grabbed the other end of the branch, and after being pulled up and stood still by him, she looked at Jiang Yingnian innocently, waiting for his next instructions.
He gave her the whole branch and said, "This branch is not too thin, it can hold you completely." He stretched out his arm to her again and said, "I won't touch you, hold my arm if you can't walk steadily." β
Qu Yin did as he said, holding the branch with one hand and putting the other hand on Jiang Yingnian's arm, he followed her steps slowly, his eyes looking straight ahead, his gaze firm.
With Jiang Yingnian's help, Qu Yin walked out of this forest smoothly, Jiang Yingnian gave her his horse and said, "You can go." β
Qu Yin wanted to say another word of thanks, but when he saw him impatiently waving his hand, he urged: "Let's go, let's go, I've been annoyed by you for a long time, and if I don't go back, they may all think that I'm dead and want to make me a clothed grave." You'd better not show up in front of me again, this is not the place for you to play, and if you dare me to catch me, I will never show mercy to your men. β
After that, Jiang Yingnian walked back, leaving her with only a back.
Qu Yin sat on the horse, staring blankly at the back getting farther and farther away until he couldn't see it.
She looked down at the hand that was holding him just now, and for some reason her fingertips were slightly hot, but when she touched the armor on his sleeve, it really made her hands cold.
After a while, she muttered, "See you next time, General Jiang ......"
Jiang Yingnian returned to the same place, and saw that the defending army had withdrawn to the garrison point, he passed by the camp of the vanguard team at the front, thinking that this was the camp where Guan Jiyu was, at this time she must be so angry in the camp tent that she couldn't sit still, I don't know how to blame him in my heart!
He remembered the little face that was obviously very angry but had to endure and pretend to be calm, and his expression unconsciously eased.
"Guan Ji ......" Jiang Yingnian opened the curtain of the main tent, and before he finished speaking, he saw that there were not only Guan Jiyu and Helan Yan, the two main pioneers in the tent.
There was also a person in it who shook his heart unconsciously-Xiang Ju'an.
He didn't have time to put away his laughter, so he froze in embarrassment, Guan Jiyu and Helan Yan, who were standing in front of Xiang Ju'an, turned their heads when they heard the sound, looking at this "unlucky guy" who had just made a mistake and was unfortunately caught by Xiang Ju'an.
He simply doesn't know the severity, he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.
Guan Jiyu was obviously relieved to see him come back, but the solemnity on his face did not decrease at all, and even Helan Yan, who was usually calm and relaxed, stood with a serious expression.
Obviously, because of Jiang Yingnian's free play in front of the battle, he defied the military order and acted willfully, which affected these two innocent pioneers. It is not difficult to see from their expressions that they should have been reprimanded by the general Xiang Ju'an just now.
The first time he went into battle under Xiang Ju'an's nose, he did this kind of thing, and no one wanted to escape the reprimand.
What makes this incident infuriating is that Jiang Yingnian is obviously not a member of the first team, he should have waited in the second team as his duty, waiting for the front to issue an order that requires the cooperation of the crossbowmen before he can act. But he was not honest, he made his own opinion, crossed to the first team, and ran to the front of the battle in front of the Lone King.
Regardless of these for the time being, his biggest mistake was that it was clear that the Lone Army had already retreated, and he had to chase after him to the death, and he couldn't stop it.
caused Guan Jiyu and Helan to be scolded by Xiang Ju'an for no reason.
"Are you there, waiting for me to invite you in?" Xiang Ju'an leaned back in his chair, his voice was deep and with a sense of sternness.
Jiang Yingnian didn't dare to rub it any longer when he heard this, so he simply walked in generously, leaned over and hugged his fists and said, "I've seen the general." β
"Who should I have come in, it turned out to be a very famous person in our barracks." Xiang Ju'an couldn't see any expression on his face, but Jiang Yingnian could hear the sarcasm in his words.
I saw Xiang Ju'an pick up a roster from the table next to him and look at it, "Jiang Yingnian, Jiang Yingnian, very good." β
He pronounced the name twice in a row, and Jiang Yingnian couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it.
"I heard you weren't honest when you were in the camp? Taking the lead in a fight with a protΓ©gΓ© of the same period, I didn't pay attention to it at the time, thinking it didn't matter. He slammed the roster back on the table and said, "It seems that I really underestimated you, you are so bold!" β
"General, listen to me-" Jiang Yingnian wanted to explain, but before he could say the word "say" in his mouth, he was caught off guard and kicked hard in the heart by Xiang Ju'an, who stood up suddenly.
The chair behind him was hit with a sharp sound, Jiang Yingnian snorted, lay on the ground and covered his heart, and couldn't move for a long time.
Although this kick did not kill him, it did kick him with all his strength.
Guan Jiyu lowered his head, his whole face tense, and the atmosphere in the room became even more tense with this sudden kick.
"Stand up!" Xiang Ju'an glared at the person lying on the ground, and said word by word: "Don't let me say it a second time!" β
Jiang Yingnian supported the ground with one hand and covered his chest with the other, coughing and slowly standing up.
Guan Jiyu thought that this was the end of it, and just tried to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Xiang Ju'an flying up again, and his strength was not inferior to the one just now, but even worse than the first kick just now.
At this step, the chair that was hit by Jiang Yingnian just now was directly smashed on the spot this time.
"General!" Seeing this, Helan Yan on the side couldn't help but plead for Jiang Yingnian: "He is at fault in this matter, you punished him, and he engraved this lesson in his mind." You don't have to ...... anymore"
"General, please spare him!" Guan Jiyu couldn't help but open his mouth when he followed Helan Yan's words.
She didn't really want to intercede for him, Jiang Yingnian was obviously looking for death when she did this kind of thing. But even so, she couldn't watch him really be beaten to death, right?
"He has never participated in the standardized training of any of the family's camps, and he doesn't understand anything. But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, so you can just let him get out of here! β
Guan Jiyu gritted her teeth and was ruthless, and directly made this long-awaited request to Xiang Ju'an.
