"Are you trying to say something?" She couldn't help it and decided to ask openly and honestly.

Zhang Liao glanced at her quickly.

Then he dangled around the horse for a moment.

It seemed that his horse was closer to her because of this sway.

"What does the hanging fish think of me?"

His eyes looked ahead, but did not look at her, his voice sounded flat and flat, and there was nothing wrong with it, and after she listened carefully, she looked at his expression again, and then was relieved.

"Wen Yuan and I are friends when it was slightly cold," she said, "You must be a newcomer to the lord's command, you are a little nervous, in fact, it doesn't have to be like this, the lord is a-"

Zhang Liao glanced at her again, this time not "quickly", but slowly turned his head, looked at her slowly, saw her shut up, and then turned his head back again.

“…… Am I not right? ”

The cold wind of early spring blows on the face, and young men and girls outside the city run by with paper kites and frolicking.

Some thin pieces of hair brushed back from Zhang Liao's face, revealing the youthful face in its entirety, from the forehead, to the bridge of the nose, to the shaved lips and chin.

…… It does look a little young, as if it is still a little aggrieved.

"Hanging Yu remembered that I was a good friend when I was slightly cold, so I was relieved," he said suddenly, "I originally thought that I was better than those second sons sent by the Xuzhou family, at least Hanging Fish and Liu Yuzhou used 3,000 mules to replace me." ”

When he said this, it was as the dirt road was undulating, and the body jolted from the horse. When riding a horse normally, when encountering ups and downs, he tried to lean his upper body forward, but Zhang Liao straightened his upper body and took it firmly.

…… It seems to be a little aggrieved, and it seems to be angry.

"You're naturally different from them." She said awkwardly.

That strange aura softened in an instant.

"But they're also very good," she said, "like Chen Ziyong, who helped me a lot, and Mi ......."

Zhang Liao's aura became strange again in an instant.

"They helped you, so that you might choose them as husbands." There was a tinge of weirdness in his voice.

“…… I know. ”

"What do you think about the hanging fish?"

She glanced at him suspiciously.

"Has Wen Yuan been injured recently?"

“…… Why? ”

"Look at your hands," she said, holding the reins in one hand and pointing with the other, "how can you be sweating in such a cold weather?" ”

The horse farm outside the city appeared from behind a hill in the distance, Zhang Liao grabbed the reins, slowed down, and the retinue behind him also slowed down.

She looked left and right, and followed to make the horse walk a little slower.

The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.

After a while, Zhang Liao took out a muslin cloth from his arms and wiped his hands indiscriminately.

"Why don't you answer?"

"They want to marry me, and I know that," she said, "but I don't want to marry." ”

Zhang Liao's body stiffened again.

“…… Why? ”

"Have you seen ......," she pondered, "have you ever been transformed by war?" ”

The general's eyebrows quietly furrowed at some point.

"What do you mean ...... 'changed by war'?"

Her gaze was far away, as if she was looking at a distant horse farm, and as if she was looking farther away than the horse farm.

"What were you like before the war?"

Then the young general finally understood her words, and his eyebrows furrowed again.

"I have never experienced a peaceful time without war," he smiled, "Since I was sensible, Yanmen has been fighting for years and never stopping. ”

He is not a man who has been "changed by war", he is a man who has grown up in war.

Before he was born, Xianbei continued to invade and plunder the state, and the Han Dynasty wanted to attack from Yanmen several times and counterattack Tanshihuai, but he could not defeat the strong enemy again and again.

In the sixth year of Xiping, Tanshihuai broke the Han army, and the state army suffered heavy casualties.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, Hugh slaughtered and killed the state, and the state assassinated Zhang Yi and martyred.

Ever since he could read, he had known Wolf Smoke.

Ever since he was practicing martial arts, he had seen villages that had been plundered by the Hu people.

The men who had been disemboweled, the women who had died in disheveled clothes, and the bones that could still be seen from the wells, from under the walls, from the fields long after the enemy had left.

His heart has been repeatedly forged and hardened in such a world.

War can no longer change him.

"Those enemies you see are Hu people." She said.

"Not bad."

"So, what about the Han Chinese?"

“…… Han? ”

"Have you ever seen the people who lined up in a long line, a long, long line, with no end, from Luoyang to Chang'an with their families and mouths?"

He hesitated, "I've seen it." ”

"Have you ever seen the people lining up in front of the Chang'an City Kitchen, waiting to be beheaded?"

“…… I've seen it. ”

"Have you ever seen a lot of rotting and smelly corpses piled up under the city?"

Zhang Liao suddenly realized that Lu Hangyu didn't need his answer.

"Have you ever seen what it looks like under a river filled with those corpses?" She continued to ask.

Her expression was in a trance, not so much asking him as asking herself.

"You're underwater, looking up, and you're looking at you with a pair of eyes, looking at you with no eyes, have you ever seen it?"

No, these are not enough.

Those who lived with the families of the military in the state, the neighbors of Dongsandao were hung in front of the door, like flags, waving slightly in the wind.

"Have you seen it?" She asked, "In a dream during the day, or at night?" ”

"I saw you that day." He finally replied that he had indeed seen the excited, wandering, desperate land hanging fish.

But she's not like that at all.

Even during the Battle of Qingzhou, when resisting Yuan Tan's Jizhou army on Qiancheng City, she was strong and calm.

A general who has been transformed and tempered in the war is no longer what she used to be, who would doubt that there is still fear and pain in her heart?

She was on a horse, with a turban on her head, and no military uniform on her body, except for the quiver and longbow behind her back, and the sword at her waist, and she was no doubt with the young scribe. Her face was thin and flat, and she talked and laughed very naturally.

So, will she also be changed by war?

"Why do you think there is so much drinking in the army? Most of the people in the army are like this, you have a noble and slender heart, so you naturally think more, if you are ......" Zhang Liao finally looked away, and his voice suddenly lowered.

Lu Hangyu, who was listening to him intently, couldn't help but put his ear to it, wanting to hear what he wanted to say further.

"If you are ......," he said hesitantly, "if you are ......"

"What is the 'if'?" She was so curious that she was even a little anxious, "You go on." ”

Zhang Liao's voice began to hesitate.

"If you don't want to see all this again, you want to be like a young woman...... Looking for a ......"

She finally understood.

"Nope."

The expression of this old friend who has known each other for many years is as if someone has been slapped in the face.

“…… Why? ”

Why?

For those who were in her dreams could never be resurrected, but there were many more living in this world.

"I was changed by war," she thought for a moment and decided to put it to him succinctly, "I want to change war too." ”

She rode forward towards the servants of the horse farm who had already run over.

This batch of horses was transported from Liaodong, and after the wind and waves, they were transported to Beihai by ship, which is very remarkable.

Despite being ashore for a few days, these poor seasick animals still look a little dizzy.

On the issue of watching horses, bringing a Zhang Liao can really solve all problems, this military general who is also from a family in Bingzhou can pat and beat, and then break the teeth of these animals, and estimate their age and temperament one by one, which can only be used as a donkey, which can be considered as a pack horse, which can be used as a war horse - oh, this big guy is really magnificent, much stronger than your little pony in Xuzhou, keep it as a stallion!

"If I had said that earlier," she said with a little remorse, "I would have left General Lu's red rabbit ......"

Zhang Liao glanced at her quickly.

"That won't work."

"Why not?" She said, "Why can't you make me a few little red rabbits?" ”

He opened his mouth, and was about to answer when the entourage of the house ran out.

"General! Chen is waiting in the mansion, and there is an urgent matter to find the general! ”

…… Considering that the Chen family is also a big family in Xuzhou, she has to think about which Chen is engaged in it.

Waiting in the mansion was Chen Qun, today's disciplinary committee member still looked like he was ice and jade, with a small crown on his head, and a dark blue muslin on his body, and he was not calmly turning around under the corridor.

Seeing Zhang Liao send her back, the disciplinary committee members looked even less calm.
