46 Chapter 46
The rain stopped at some point, the clouds dispersed, the sky shone brightly, and the breeze over the verdant mountains stained them with water vapor and circled them.
The two looked at each other with a smile, and their emotions quickly calmed down.
Gu Wan stretched out her hand and wiped her eyes, and she actually cried, which was a little different from the script she thought. She glared at the thanksgiving, "Look at you." Why are you so sensational?
Xie Ci just smiled, didn't speak, and after venting his emotions with her, he was left with a lightness in his heart. The two stood up, pulled the black horse to untie the water bladder, and washed their faces and hands with muddy water.
Anyway, it was wet, so the two of them simply loosened the reins of the horse, and let the black horse find grass and forage for food on its own, and the two of them found a dry spot on the ground with a stone on the top of the hill and sat down.
On one side is the post-war plain where the tide of soldiers is still shuttling in twos and threes, as far as the eye can see, only the faintly rolling mountain line at the end of the distance, and on the other side is the green foothills, the grass and thorns absorb the water, and the verdant ones are growing vigorously, and the war horses run to the bottom of the hillside happily as soon as they untie them.
The stone was not big, and the two of them sat back to back on their side, smiling in thanks, and he whispered, "I think I can protect you now."
Happy tone, a little childish.
Gu Wan couldn't help laughing, the contrast with him in the past two days was really good, "Well, you are amazing." She complimented him.
Xie Ci smiled, and those beautiful eyes faded away from all fierceness and bloodlust at this moment, and bent slightly, like two pools of crystal clear.
Xie Ci laughed for a while, he looked up at the green mountains and the vast prairie, and said, "I like it here, and I hate it here."
Here carries the glory of the Xie family, the merits and glory of his father and brother, a generation of metabolic sons and daughters here to sway their blood, here is the second hometown of Xie Ci, his father and brother have ridden a horse here, famous and admired by thousands of people all over the world.
But he hated it again, because his father and brother were wronged here, and his life came to an abrupt halt here, and finally he was in a different place, and the family parted in life, and the turbulent waves have not stopped since then.
"When I was young, my eldest brother and second brother used to take me up the mountains, hunting, picking pine nuts, climbing mountains and wading through water, and we often took several days to go home."
He was naughty, rolled like a mud monkey, and was scolded by the old man when he came home. The eldest brother had to carry a special coat of wrapper, and knocked him on the head as he walked, saying that he had added a lot of work to him.
He couldn't walk, so the second brother was responsible for carrying him, slapping his ass while walking and complaining that he had eaten too much, thanking the second brother for knocking on the head, his second brother threw him down, and the two brothers chased and beat him for a while, laughing and scolding
Repeat itself.
As for the third brother, the third brother is a nerd, and they are not happy to take him to play, at most they go back and give him one of the burned pine towers.
But the third brother is so bad, he touched it without waiting for the pine tower to be baked, and rushed to eat it, but Xie Ci didn't eat enough for him!" At that time, the eldest brother dug a pit as a stove, and the second brother went to the stream to peel the wild things. Xie Ci gestured, his skill of skinning prey was still learned from his second brother.
Xie Ci is actually not the first time to go to the battlefield, the second brother has secretly taken him there.
It's just that after the second brother got married and became a father, he didn't like to play so much. He went with his second sister-in-law. "
Xie Ci grinned: "But, I'm with you."
stalked and beat together, the second sister-in-law pulled him, and the second brother had no choice but to knock on his head and scold him and piggyback him together.
Xie Ci told Gu Wan about his childhood, at that time, he was really happy and comfortable, and the carefree and joyful flying up could be heard from his tone.
The two looked down the slope, after Qin Ying got off the mound, Qin Guan, who turned over and dismounted, immediately hugged her, and the brother and sister took their little sister Qin Wenxuan, and Wei Zhen They talked and laughed, leading the horse and drifting away.
Qin Ying was dressed in black light armor, holding a long knife with a scabbard in her hand and walking beside the horse, the whole person looked extraordinarily heroic, she was really looking at it in the heavy rain, she was looking up and Qin Guan smiled and said something, the sky was shining on her face, her black hair was black, her skin was as white as jade, and her eyes were cool and bright.
Gu Wan is also bright and beautiful, but she has a more chic temperament, and her curved willow eyebrows and facial features are more soft and beautiful. And Qin Ying is the real eyebrows, beautiful and heroic, and her facial features are bright and compelling.
This is Gu Guan's favorite look.
"The second sister-in-law is so beautiful!"
Second brother, thank you, the tall and handsome resolute young man who is always gentle to his family in his memory, the scene that the original owner left Gu Guan with the deepest memory is that he held the child high in front of the courtyard gate, the girl laughed, his hearty laughter, Qin Ying leaned against the courtyard wall and smiled at the scene of the father and daughter.
Gu Wan looked up at the towering green mountains and floating clouds, and then there was the Yinshan Mountain Range. In fact, she also came in her previous life, and when she was on a graduation trip, she came with a large group of classmates, all of her family members brought her, a large group of forty or fifty young people, they climbed over the Dayin Mountain, shouted loudly at the prairie, and went to ride horses and eat barbecue together, full of youth and laughter.
Alas.
Who hasn't gone in the past? There are thanks, and so does she,
There are good and bad, laughter and tears.
Gu Wan hurriedly shook her head, not letting herself think about this anymore, she told herself again and again that these were all things in the past, and she said that she would let go of the past and live the present.
It's just that Gu Guan's melancholy mood didn't have time to adjust himself, and he was soon suddenly thrown away by Xie Ci. "Actually, I think the second sister-in-law is more beautiful than the third sister-in-law." Qin Ying is simply perfect for growing on Gu Guan's aesthetic line.
Gu Wan sighed, she was just casually looking for something to divert her attention, but she didn't expect that Xie Ci would answer, after all, it was not appropriate for the little uncle to evaluate her sister-in-law's appearance.
Unexpectedly, Xie Ci glanced at Qin Ying, and then quickly glanced at her, but suddenly said, "Really? But I think you're more beautiful. β
"I think," he paused, then quickly lifted his eyes to look at her, and finally held his breath a little: "You are the most beautiful in the world
No matter whether she has green silk and white hair, or her old face, there will be no one more beautiful than her in this world.
After he finished speaking, he shut up, glanced at her quickly, and got up: "...... I'll go back first, Uncle Qin, they're probably looking for me. The breeze was gentle, back to back, and her words touched him, and he suddenly said what was in his heart.
It's true that he wants to go back, but it's also true that he can't sit still, Xie Ci's heart was pounding, he got up and rushed down the hill and turned over his horse, and hurriedly grabbed the horse's belly and left.
Gu Guan on the hillock: "......"
, what do you mean? Why did Hao Duanduan suddenly praise her? She was stunned for a moment, and any melancholy disappeared in an instant.
Gu Wan raised his head suddenly, Xie Ci hurriedly went forward, did not look back and waved at her, and by the way, rushed up and took Wei Zhen and Qin Guan and them with him.
Gu Guan: "???"
Originally, although it was a bit abrupt to praise her for being beautiful, but fortunately, she also praised him for being handsome, and his first tone was quite normal, and Gu Wan also felt that his face was indeed beautiful, which was another peak level of fairy beauty, and it was not strange to be praised.
But why do you just run away, it feels so fucking weird.
Gu Wan was a bit like being struck by thunder, which scared her, and she quickly got up, "...... Feed! Why are you running, you don't have to paint your face?"
Xie Ci laughed heartily, his laughter was never more hearty than ever, and he turned back to beckon to her, "Then you come quickly-"
In this way, it seems to be back normally.
It is normal to achieve a long-cherished wish in the achievement stage at once, and to draw a little wind. Gu Wan patted his heart
Mouth, it's okay, it's okay, it's scared to death.
If it was really what she thought, she didn't know what to do? It's okay, it's okay. She hurriedly put on her helmet, hurriedly pulled the horse back, and turned over, "Hey! Wait for meβ"
The next thing to deal with is of course the follow-up of the war.
This battle shook the storm, I am afraid that it will soon spread all over the country, and Lu Xinyi, Zheng Shoufang and others will inevitably come to loot him as soon as they free their hands.
After a little tidying up, Xie Ci and his entourage galloped back to the main army, and the Lingzhou army and the Suzhou army had just finished camping, and he happened to quietly enter.
The military boots quickly stepped into the camp tent, and Qin Xian, Chen Yan and the others were already waiting here.
Qin Xian immediately asked: "Major General, who are we looking for to be the Black Armor Major General?"
There is already a candidate for thanks: "Qin Yong."
Qin Yong: "....'
He panicked: "I can't do it, where can I be a major general in black armor? I ........."
But Qin Xian and Chen Yan glanced at Qin Yong, and they also felt that it was very suitable, Qin Xian pushed his son, "Hurry up, hurry up! It's time for them to come soon
pushed and coerced Qin Yong out.
Then thanked Chen Lang, Wei Zhen, Liang Zhen, Su Wei and more than a dozen other young people, but anyone who went to the Malian Road crossing that day roughly ordered it. The entire Xie family army, the old department of the Xie family in the past, is running at high speed with Xie Ci as the core.
Like a new soul that has been re-injected, it was united before, but now it is unprecedentedly attached, and the heart must be calm, this is an invisible will, they are Xie Jiajun!
Qin Yong was very nervous, but he could only bite the bullet, but fortunately, there was still Wei Zhen and Chen Lang's share, and they had just been done, and the deputy marshal Xingyuan came.
It turned out that not only Lu Xinyi and Zheng Shoufang, but even the third prince and the fourth prince were full of curiosity about the Black Armor Major General, and after resetting camp, they summoned him as soon as possible.
Qin Xian and Chen Yan took Qin Yong, Chen Lang, Wei Zhen, Liang Zhen, and Su Wei's more than a dozen sons and nephews together, and they were mighty. They all said the same thing, this is their discovery and strategy together, Qin Yong is just a little more able to fight.
The third prince and the fourth prince were a little disappointed, and asked Qin Yong to perform it, which seemed to be quite the same thing, so in the end, he gave a reward and let them go back.
Lu Xinyi and Zheng Shoufang's face sank, and immediately stopped Qin Yong and the others, Zheng Shoufang looked at these young people with a gloomy face, "I don't think it's right, it's not bad."
Some people.
But the Xie family is taboo, and no one will be without three hundred taels of silver here
took the initiative to mention it, knowing that it was not right, he just knew, Qin Xian immediately pushed back: Of course there are some people, everyone has merit in this battle, is it not stationed?
The saber rattling, but nothing happened.
After that, Zheng Shoufang and Lu Xinyi came to Lingyun Su Dingzhou Army many times to inspect the soldiers, and even Xun Xun came, the latter's eyes were gloomy and gloomy, but Xie Ci was not there, and they didn't patrol anything.
In the end, the neutral British Gong Cheng Lizhang couldn't help but come forward to play a round, Okay, okay, it's a great blessing that my Dawei has a rising star! This Dongying is almost the same, let's go to Nanying.
He praised Qin Yong a few words and intercepted the aggressive Zheng Shoufang, and the commander of the patrol camp will finally leave Dongying and go to Nanying, and the limelight of this matter has only passed a little.
All right.
The thank-resignee was in the cowhide camp a little farther away, and it was evening, and the gray clouds in the sky were a little thick, and they were already dark in the twilight, but today there was a sunset, and the last remnant red was dyed a layer of red for half of the sky, dark and red were intertwined, and torches had been raised in the camp.
Xie Ci raised a curtain and took in everything in the distance, and in the dimness the twilight and torches reflected in his black pupils, a little red like blood, and his face was as cold and hard as if frozen.
Unlike Qin Yong's sitting on a needle mat, Xie Ci has experienced the death of his father and brother, and the weight of many things has changed.
He had gotten what he wanted in this battle.
Zheng Shoufang and his entourage gradually moved away, Xie Ci coldly retracted his gaze, he lowered the curtain, "Let's go to Guiyichuan."
Things in the army were a little settled, and Xie Ci immediately set off for Guiyi River.
A group of fast horses galloped silently in the night, stopped more than ten miles before arriving in Guizhou, and dismounted directly into the mountain. Master, man is ahead.
Xie Yun followed Xie Ci's side, followed by Xie Ping, Xie Qi, Xie Feng, and Xie Zi, the four carefully selected young leaders of Xie Jiawei.
Xie Jiawei's life experience is very simple, in addition to the Jiawei who has followed the Xie family for generations, there are also the descendants of the severely disabled soldiers who were sheltered and cared for by Xie Jiawei's father, in fact, the former is the same, generation after generation of people formed Xie Jiawei, and many of them also gave the surname Xie, such as Xie Liang, the original commander of Xie Jiawei, and Xie Yun, all of which were given by Xie Qi's father.
Loyalty is very high, and many people have grown up watching Xie Ci, and on the night they found Xie Ci, they wept bitterly in private.
The next day, he changed the title of the fourth son and changed his name to "master".
Xie Yun selected Xie Ping's four people overnight, and Xie Ci arranged them into him
of the guards. They are now in the mountains and forests near Guiyizhou.
Hu Min, who returned to Yizhou, sent troops at that time, and also received a temporary requisition order, and under the vigorous arguments of Qin Xian and Chen Yan, he had been officially incorporated into the Great Wei army.
All kinds of things were chaotic outside, and the tense confrontation with Beirong continued, but Xie Ci had silently come to the black and charming mountains, and in the col, a faint yellow light leaked from the mountain col loomed.
ββThe "man" Xie Yun said was Ye Hegu Chi, the son of Ye Heqin, the leader of the Tuotandun Tribe.
At that time, in the surging war, covered in blood, fighting tirelessly, when the strangulation and counterattack of the Beirong army finally began to become clear, Xie Xun Xiao immediately began to look for this extension of the pier.
Xie Cichong killed twice, and finally succeeded in capturing Ye Hegu Chi, the son of the leader of the Tua Er Dun Clan, and he threw it to Xun Xiao, who immediately left the battlefield with Ye Hegu Chi first.
Now they finally have their hands free to interrogate this person!
The sound of military boots falling to the ground, powerful and urgent, Xie Ci was dressed in black heavy armor, he was wearing a large black cloak, as soon as he arrived, the wood door immediately opened, and Xie Ci stepped into the Orion hut.
This Yehgu chime had been transferred to the Orion Hut, and seven or eight people in the house were guarding him at a glance. It's just that the results of the interrogation immediately afterwards are somewhat unexpected. This Yehegu chime is too young.
Say! Where is the Great Wei Border Prefecture that traded with your Tutuo Dun Department? Who are the people you are trading with?!
A basin of cold stream water was poured down, and the bearded Beirong man cried and communicated, and then they immediately found out the clue, Xie Yun pulled his hand and ripped off the whole of this person's beard!
Gu Guan:, it's not just that she likes to play with high imitation makeup.
Ah no, it's transfiguration.
Yehegu Chime is not very easy to face, but the Beirong people have a cold winter and many mosquitoes, and many Beirong Hu people have beards, plus most of them have dark skin and vigorous hair, and they don't even need to wear makeup.
This Yehe Guqi was only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, his skin had not yet been completely tanned, he had been beaten and starved and tied up for several days, cold water was poured, his stomach was convulsed, and he soon couldn't hold on, ...... I say, I say! But you have to let me go!
Gu Wan didn't understand the Beirong language, and he whispered to her, and told Xie Ping to translate for her. Xun Xiaoyin smiled compassionately and kicked him hard in the chest, and Ye Hegu Qi howled in pain.
In fact, for the people of Beijung, hiding this behind the scenes
people are more malicious. They hope that the more people in Dawei have different intentions and problems, the better, although the other party hides his identity, but Beirong will also investigate, they are definitely not willing to step into the pit of the enemy army.
When the cold dagger pierced his chest inch by inch, and blood spilled out, it was easy to choose.
But the problem is that this Ye Hegu Qi is too young, he knows about the private transaction with Da Wei, but he was too young back then, from eight or nine years old to eleven or twelve, he didn't know the exact state department and specific name at all.
This was the first time he went to the battlefield, and he also put on a beard to prevent the Great Wei people from thinking that he was a soft persimmon, and then he was caught. It's Suzhou, no...... It's Shuo Fang, ah-Fan Yang! Fan Yang β
This Beirong boy talked nonsense, and he was quickly recognized, he curled up on the ground, staring at the leader's thank you with a vicious gaze! Xie Ci's face sank like water, he sneered, raised his foot and crushed his face with his boots. The latter struggled and screamed in pain, one eye dripping with blood.
In the second half of the night, they finally came out of the prey hut.
The dark clouds finally receded, the starlight was a little dim, and there was a faint sound of cicadas, and it turned out that summer had quietly arrived. Their people pitched their tents on the flat grass on the left, and the smell of snake-proof realgar powder and mosquito-repellent lemongrass was a bit rushing.
Xie Ci's face was gloomy, and Xun Xiao's eyebrows were gloomy, and he kicked the big tree in front of him. The whole tree trembled, and the birds scattered in shock. This result was a bit unexpected.
This is stuck.
I thought I was about to find out who was behind the scenes! The grappling process was also very smooth, but in the end, it was stuck on the last thin layer of paper.
I can't go up or down in one breath.
The disappointment in my heart is indescribable.
But Xie Ci glanced at Xun Xiao, who was out of control, he took a deep breath, tried to adjust his emotions, smiled at Gu Guan, and said slowly: It's okay, just catch another one when you turn around.
Ye Heqin and Tuitdun are several major clans, and they must know. Isn't it? Now with this shortcut, it's much better than before.
Gu Wan nodded, Xie Ci exhaled, looked up at the sky, the night was already very deep, he covered his feelings, and even comforted Gu Wan and Qin Ying with a few gentle words.
After that, a rest was ordered, and everyone roughly divided the tents, and the group rested.
It's just that Xun Xiao soon came to Qin Ying and Gu Guan.
"Yekhchin has four sons, the first three of whom have not been raised, and Yekhguchi is the only son he has supported." also
That is, Yehegu Chi is an only son.
Take the Yehegu chime and the Tulip Dunbu trade, and Yekhchin will definitely tell us accurate news. Early in the morning, Xun Xiao quietly looked for Qin Ying, and finally looked for Gu Guan.
Xun Xiao's hoarse voice, the burned eyes under the hood, the eyebrows were distorted, and his eyes were gloomy, he had no sleep last night. The birds in the forest squeaked, Gu Wan washed half of her face, and she wiped off the water droplets on her face.
You mean...... Concealing the excuse and trading with Beirong?
Gu Wan is so smart that he understands almost in seconds.
On the side of the cabin, in addition to Xun Xiao, there are also Qin Xian's people and Xie Jiawei.
On the day Xie Jiawei recruited Xie Jiawei back, on the day Xie Jiawei changed his words to the fourth son, the fourth son burst into tears for the master, Xie Ci then said to Xie Yun and others in person, From now on, her words will be like my order!
Xie Yun and the others should be very grateful, they are also very grateful to Gu Guan, and they re-greeted the salute on the spot and called it "Fourth Young Lady", which made Gu Wan a little embarrassed, after all, after June, she would not be.
But to call these is all gossip, and the focus is on the previous sentence.
Gu Wan has the power to dispatch and command the cabin Xie Jiawei.
Gu Wan hissed, Xun Xiao said coldly: Who knows what will happen next time?
Xun Xiao didn't want to wait any longer, he couldn't wait, Xun Xiao was different from Xie Ci, he almost immediately gave birth to another idea that was very different from Xie Ci.
But he did make sense.
There are so many variables, who knows what the next war will bring. Lu Xinyi or Zheng Shoufang have already designed it once, who knows what they will do the second time?
The most critical thing is Beirong, Xun Xun has been lurking for many years, do you know what secret chess Hu Yande and he still haven't used yet?
Moreover, Ye Heqin lost his only son this time, and he will definitely be much more vigilant next time, and he may also ask for help from Huyande, the king of Beirong, and the difficulty will at least increase exponentially.
Get the exact answer now, the spearhead is aimed at the person behind the scenes, both sides are in the open, no one is in the dark, and it is best not to teach the first opportunity.
Gu Wan restrained her smile, she thought for about a second, Okay!
