The little girl glared and shouted for murder.

Gan Qing thought that this girl might be crazy.

Yun Zhao pulled out the dagger from his waist. Gan Qing pounced and grabbed her wrist: "You're crazy! ”

Yun Zhao shook his head, pulled out his hand, and handed the dagger to the little girl: "I'll give you a chance." ”

She took the dagger and pointed it at Yun Zhao, but she didn't dare to make a move.

Yun Zhao stepped forward, the blade of the dagger against her chest.

The little girl's hand shook, and the dagger fell to the ground, and she took two steps back in horror.

Yun Zhao bent down to pick it up, and the small dagger turned around in her hand and inserted it back into its scabbard.

"I gave you a chance." She smiled.

But the little girl was also arrogant, raised her head, and looked at her with disgrace: "Kill me." ”

"What's your name?"

"My dad called me Duozi."

Yun Zhao chuckled: "From now on, you will be called Yunduo." ”

The little girl was a little confused, and Thirteen just walked in: "Master Hou, the meal has been prepared." ”

"I'll keep you down, and when one day you have the ability to kill me, I won't resist."

Gan Qing felt that this woman was crazy.

Yun Duo followed Thirteen away, and Gan Qing stood in front of Yun Zhao: "Are you crazy?" ”

Yun Zhao shrugged: "She can't kill me, there is no murderous aura in those eyes, it's just her ridiculous self-esteem." ”

Gan Qing frowned. Yun Zhao turned around: "I used to live by this pitiful self-esteem. ”

After the fifth day of the first lunar month, the army began to train soldiers, and Yun Zhao was busy all day, leaving early and returning late. In the spring, the construction of the southern city wall will also begin, and these days they are busy designing sketches, and all the structures and traps are the work of Yun Zhao's personal governor.

The clouds like to sit under the porch in a daze, and they sit all day. She looked at the busy people coming and going in the house, and she always felt unreal.

She didn't understand why the general wanted to keep her, and she didn't understand what the surname "Yun" represented. She has been called by people since she was a child, no one has ever asked her what her surname is, and she herself doesn't seem to have asked her father.

Wang Yanshu walked down the corridor and sat down beside her. The clouds glanced at him and looked at him warily.

"My name is Wang Yanshu, and I am Yun Zhao's teacher." His gaze was clear and calm, gentle and flat, "Your name is Yunduo, right?" ”

She shook her head, then nodded.

Wang Yanshu took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, and unfolded it to see a few pieces of osmanthus candy inside. The clouds looked curiously.

He pinched a piece and put it in his mouth, and then handed it to her: "Osmanthus candy, taste it, it's very sweet." ”

Yun Duo took it and pinched a piece and put it in his mouth. It's so sweet! It was a sweetness she hadn't tasted before, and it ran from her mouth all the way down her lungs.

"Is it delicious?"

The clouds nodded.

"How old are you?"

The cloud counted on his fingers and said, "Twelve." "Maybe it's eleven, maybe it's twelve, she can't remember.

"Yun Zhao is seventeen years old this year." He mentioned Yun Zhao, with a gentle look in his eyes, "It's the female general who left you behind." Her name is Yun Zhao. ”

The clouds fluttered with wide eyes, waiting for him to continue.

Wang Yanshu smiled lightly: "She went to the battlefield at the age of fourteen, she is taller than you now, and she is about the same thin as you." ”

Yunduo remembered the war a month ago, and she hid in the house, her father holding her head. They huddled together, and could hear the sound of horses' hooves and people in the streets, and smell the smoke and blood in the air.

Dad said they were enemies and would kill them.

But that female general is like a little bodhisattva.

Wang Yanshu continued: "She has suffered a lot, suffered a lot of injuries, and for the sake of the people she loves deeply, she is willing to have blood on her hands. ”

He looked deep into the courtyard, with dead branches and thick trees, and snow on the ground. The clouds will always remember the eyes of the gentleman at that time, like the desolate moon.

"Don't belittle your own life, and don't let the sufferings you have endured wither day by day. If you want, I can teach you to read, and Yun Zhao will be happy to have someone teach you martial arts. ”

The osmanthus sugar melted in her mouth, leaving a hint of sweetness.

The barracks were solemn, and the shouts of warrior training pierced through layers of cold air.

Thirteen led the clouds to Yun Zhao. She is training, her long body is jade, and her momentum is majestic. The clouds were a little afraid of her.

But she turned her head and looked at her very kindly.

"Why are you here?"

The clouds learned from the thirteen and saluted nondescriptly.

She asked sternly, "Why didn't you kill me?" We are the enemy. ”

Yun Zhao chuckled, waved his hand, and Thirteen bowed and retreated. There were only two of them left on the viewing platform.

"We are not enemies." She said, "War is helpless. What I want is to protect the people I can. Shuozhou in the past, Gu'an City in the future, I will protect it. ”

The clouds were silent.

Yun Zhao smiled: "Yanshu has looked for you, hasn't it?" She looked up in shock.

"He's probably the only one who can move you." "You're a lot like me when I was, full of hostility and distrust towards everybody," she said. But Yanshu always has such an ability, so that you can believe in him, there is no reason. ”

Yun Duo nodded: "He said he could teach me to read." ”

"It's a good idea. He will make you understand that the distinction between friend and foe in this world is far less clear and important, and everything is just as you please. ”

Yun Duo looked at her with an envious look and asked, "Woman, can you also study?" ”

Yun Zhao frowned.

She lowered her head and said, "Daddy said that reading is my brother's business. ”

Yun Zhao sneered: "Falsehood." ”

After Yun Duo began to read with Wang Yanshu, his daily life became busy and fulfilling. She explores worlds she had never known before.

In the past, when she was sending her younger brother to school, she had eavesdropped on the teacher's lecture outside the school, saying poems she couldn't understand, and she couldn't understand the hills and mountains.

And in the past month or so, she finally understood how much she once longed to be able to enter the school like her younger brother, instead of going home to accompany her mother to go out to wash and sew for others.

She was grateful in the middle of the night.

At that time, the moonlight hid his face shyly, the stars were dotted, and the night was thick.

Yun Zhao came back very late, got off the sedan chair in front of the house, and looked up to see Mr.

"Inkstone." She ran over and took his hand.

"There's a lot going on today, and Master Ma has to invite me to dinner." She was coquettish with some resentment.

Wang Yanshu touched her head and took her hand into the courtyard.

Yun Duo was holding the book, and he wanted to ask Mr. a question, but when he saw them coming together, he subconsciously hid.

She watched them come over. The female general asked, "What about the clouds?" Is she okay these days? ”

"She is very intelligent, loves to read, has a quick mind, and can already memorize a thousand words." The gentleman praised her like this, and no one ever praised her for her intelligence.

The female general smiled, she was so beautiful. Yun Duo hugged the book, feeling that she was like a fairy in the mouth of the storyteller.

"I knew she was going to be a good boy." The female general said, "When I see her, I always feel like I have seen my former self." She would be better than me. ”

"Zhao'er, you're already very good." The gentleman was gentle, using his calm voice to soothe the scars in her heart.

"Then I want to make the clouds better. There are many misfortunes for women in the world, and I don't want her to fall into a wilderness. ”

That kind of feeling, Yun Duo couldn't understand for a long time. How could she so easily succumb to the quiet beauty of the courtyard that night?

Later, Rong Laihou ran a women's school, and she became the little master of the school. It dawned on her that the throbbing of that night was the rebirth of life beckoning to her.

The pace of spring is getting closer and closer, and the spring is cold. Yun Zhao still went out early and returned late, and Yun Duo began to sit at the threshold and wait for her to come back, with Mr. standing beside him.

For the first time, she felt that waiting for someone was so good.

Gu'an City is a mountain city surrounded by mountains, and now Da Chu has expanded and repaired the south city gate, becoming the defensive gate of the south facing the Western Qin.

Yun Zhao was busy in Chengguan throughout the spring and summer, and Gan Qing took over her army training.

In the days when the mountains were full of flowers in April, Yun Zhao had a rare day off and took Wang Yanshu to the mountains in the west.

There is a mirror lake in the northwest of Gu'an City, the water waves are clear, like a water mirror, reflecting the sky, and the clouds are floating in the water.

The boat floated on the lake, Yun Zhao and Mr. pillowed their arms, facing the blue sky on their backs, the soft and warm sunlight spread on their faces, and occasionally a wisp of clouds floated by, covering them for a moment and then dodging happily, revealing the bright face of the sun.

Mountains near and far set in the sun, revealing their sturdy bodies, lying there peacefully for the rest of their lives.

Yun Zhao's heart dwells a bird, constantly calling her joy and attachment. Time is as quiet as a lake. A cool breeze passed through the narrow and quiet valley, broke into this quiet lake, swept the ripples, with a faint damp touch of the tip of the nose, gently stroked Yun Zhao's eyebrows, and then went towards the wider world and never returned.

"Yanshu, I really like days like this."

"Then we will buy a house in Yuyang in the future, and move in when we are old."

"Okay! I like Yuyang. ”

A year has passed like flowing water, and Gu'an Pass has been completed. The pace of summer is getting closer and closer, the weather is getting hotter, and when Gu'an Pass is in full swing, something big happened in Handan.

Yun Zhao was approving today's military affairs in the palace, and the thirteenth rushed in in a hurry, ignoring the etiquette: "Master, the king of Huai'an is forcing the palace, and His Majesty and the prince are besieged in the palace." ”

Yun Zhao was shocked: "What are you talking about!" ”

In June of the 28th year of Chengping, the king of Huai'an relied on the power of his ancestors and held 30,000 soldiers and horses in Zhuozhou. The forbidden army in the palace can still rely on the palace gate to block the attack, and it can still support it for several days.

Returning to Beijing thousands of miles from the south, Yun Zhao personally led 5,000 elite soldiers, and arrived in Beijing in two days under the starry night.

Yun Zhao brought few people, and recklessly entering the city was just a sheep into the tiger's mouth. Ganqing's army will take at least two days.

"General Yu, before tomorrow, if you don't see me using fireworks as a sign, you will take my Yuyang Army military seal and order the soldiers and horses of the world to be the king, and you must not let the thieves succeed."

General Yun Zhao handed it to him, and General Yu took it with trembling hands: "Hou Ye take care!" ”

The soldiers of the Yuyang Army looked at the depressed figure and rode away alone.

Yun Zhao rode his horse to the western suburbs, where there was a secret passage to the Ronglai Hou Mansion. The secret passage led straight to the study of the Hou Mansion, and she walked out, the huge bookshelf slowly closing behind her.

"Fifth uncle!"

Lao Wu appeared in front of her, knelt on the ground and bowed: "Little master." ”

Yun Zhao asked urgently: "What is the situation in Beijing?" ”

"The king of Huai'an occupies the East Palace, and the Marquis of Yuling has led an army to surround the palace."

"How many people are there in Beijing?"

Lao Wu calculated for a moment and said, "There are about thirty people, and there are seven people in the palace." ”

Yun Zhao frowned, his eyes lowered and pondered.
