Jiang Ying seems to have a lot of experience in the military, and her skills in grilling fish are also very good, at least Chen Mingye is ashamed of himself, I don't know if Cai Ling'er, the snack seller, will want to have a good relationship with Jiang Ying immediately after tasting it.

With the food in his stomach, Chen Mingye felt that he had finally changed his strength, and the qi and blood in his body could form a virtuous circle and slowly repair the injuries in his body.

"Can you guess the identities of those men in black?" Chen Mingye asked, putting down the branch in his hand that was stirring up the fire.

Jiang Ying thought for a while, and then said lightly: "It should be those tribes in Southern Xinjiang, our Jiang clan is too much of a threat to them, catch me and threaten my father, they should be fighting this calculation." ”

Chen Mingye frowned: "If you can guess that it's them, why would they do this?"

"What?" Jiang Ying didn't understand what he meant for a while.

"If the southern Xinjiang tribe did it, no matter whether this operation is successful or not, they will face the wrath of the Haoming official," Chen Mingye rubbed his fingertips and said slowly, "They are tantamount to dragging themselves into the fire pit of war." ”

Jiang Ying's eyes flashed: "They may think that if they catch me, they can blackmail their father." ”

"What are you going to blackmail?, Haoming's forces succumb to them?" Chen Mingye asked rhetorically, and then shook his head, "It's impossible, they will only have one consequence if they act like this, no matter what." ”

"What consequences?" Jiang Ying frowned.

"Stir up the contradiction between Haoming and Anshun City," Chen Mingye said lightly, "Unless they just want such a war, I can't think of a reason for them to do this." ”

"Could it be that there is someone else behind the scenes?" Jiang Ying wondered.

"If southern Xinjiang falls into a chaotic war, who will benefit?" Chen Mingye's mouth was playful.

"There are losses on both sides, no one will gain, war, it is always the people who suffer. Jiang Ying shook her head and sighed softly, "The hard-won peace in southern Xinjiang, I want to disappear because of me." ”

Chen Mingye said lightly: "You underestimate the temptation of power to people,"

Jiang Ying was silent.

"We've been gone for a day and a night, and today should be the second night. Chen Mingye said.

"This river in Zisang Mountain also flows into the Mushui River, and I have been drifting along the river with you on my back for most of the day," Jiang Ying said lightly.

"......" Chen Mingye pinched his eyebrows, "I'm afraid that the search will take longer, but Uncle Jiang will definitely send someone to find us." ”

Jiang Ying said expressionlessly: "For him, the security of this southern Xinjiang is more important, and my life and death have never been his concerns." ”

Chen Mingye glanced at her strangely: "Xiao Ying'er, do you have any misunderstanding about Uncle Jiang?"

Jiang Ying shook her head, as if she didn't want to say more.

The fire flickered and flipped with firelight. Reflected on the faces of the two, there was silence between them, and the occasional sound of a bursting spark was heard.

Chen Mingye closed his eyes and breathed for a while, but when he opened his eyes, he met Jiang Ying's gaze directly.

"Would you like to hear a story?" she said slowly, and for the first time in the night, she faded from her strong and cold shell, like a lonely child.

Chen Mingye nodded slightly.

It was a foggy morning, and the woman was walking through the woods with her child, wanting to return to the city to see her long-missed husband. But on the way, they were assassinated, and the guards desperately helped the mother and daughter break out of a road, but the mountains and forests were luxuriant, and the road was long, and the woman lived in the forests of southern Xinjiang with her children for three whole days before finally waiting for her long-missed husband. But at that time she gave all the food to the children, and when her husband arrived, she was already dying, and she was already sick and weak, so she died within a few days of returning to the city. ”

Later, the husband said that some tribes in southern Xinjiang took the opportunity to rebel and wanted to transfer the tiger away from the mountain to let him save his wife and children, but he resolutely chose to lead troops to suppress the rebellion. ”

The husband knelt in front of his wife's bed and begged her for forgiveness. The woman said that she had never hated him, and marrying him had always been the happiest thing in her life. ”

"But...... Why?" Jiang Ying raised her head, and Chen Mingye noticed that her eyes were already full of tears.

"Why can't such a good woman be happy forever, why did her husband let go of her and chose to quell the rebellion, she didn't even blame at all, why did she talk to that man so happily but left her children so ruthlessly and left her children alone?"

Chen Mingye stretched out his hand and gently hugged the woman who had finally unloaded all the strong into his arms, the woman's unique faint fragrance came to his nose, and he said in a hoarse voice: "In his heart, you must be the first." But as the guardian of southern Xinjiang, he had to choose to defend his people, even if it was at the cost of his own life, and that is also true to you. He loves you, it's just that he loves you a little stupidly. ”

Jiang Ying was silent, buried her head in his chest, snorted slightly, and tears soaked into a faint small flower.

"I haven't seen my mother since I was born," Chen Mingye looked at the firelight, and his pupils lit up slightly, "When I was very young, I was very envious of other people's children, and my mother can be spoiled and dependent, but I am also very fortunate that I have a father who treats me strictly and dotes, but now, I am only alone." ”

"Know how to cherish, those who watch you silently. ”

Jiang Ying suddenly raised her head from his arms, glanced at him silently, and said softly, "Thank you." ”

"Thank you, I can't repay you for your life-saving kindness, I can only ......," Chen Mingye deliberately quipped.

Jiang Ying glanced at him and smiled: "I'm afraid you don't know, you already have a marriage contract with me." ”

"Ah???" Chen Mingye was stunned.

"After my father and your father got married, the two of them kissed this doll after a meal, which he later told me personally. Jiang Ying said this, but her pretty face turned red.

“...... No wonder Uncle Jiang has been in a hurry to introduce you to me. Chen Mingye rose to a hint of enlightenment, and silently stroked his forehead, "So as soon as you see me, you want to give me a dismount?"

Jiang Ying withdrew the smile that secretly overflowed, and deliberately said with a straight face: "Hmph, who knows if you are a useless official eunuch." ”

"Then you know now?" Chen Mingye's mouth hooked, "What kind of person does Xiao Ying'er think I am?"

"Stupid and pervert," Jiang Ying glanced at him, Qianqiansu put her hand on his chest, "You tell me first, who is your little Lingzi brother?"

"Brother-in-law. Chen Ming's face did not change at night, his heart did not beat, and he insisted on it.

"Lying. Jiang Ying's white fingers poked at his chest, "You think I can't tell she's a girl?"

"......" Chen Mingye suddenly felt a little headache.

"Do you believe me that I was robbed by her halfway?" said Chen Mingye tentatively.

Jiang Ying's flowing eyes looked him up and down for a while, and the corners of her mouth were a shallow smile that seemed to be smiling, and she said after a long time: "I believe it." ”

"Actually, her identity is easy to guess," Jiang Ying tilted her head and smiled, "I'm afraid you don't know yet, the old man of the Aoki clan is already in a hurry to send someone to turn over the entire southern Xinjiang." ”

Chen Mingye sighed: "She's weird, and I don't know what she's going to do." ”

"It shouldn't be," Jiang Ying continued, "The young master of the Kuroki clan therefore claimed that Aoki reneged on the marriage contract and united with the Baimu clan to denounce Aoki. ”

"My father said that he was going to inspect, but in fact, he was going to appease the three clans on behalf of Haoming officials. ”

Chen Mingye frowned, he always felt that something seemed to be wrong.

The fire was extinguished, and his face was also cloudy and uncertain.

"Don't you think it......" He said suddenly, slowly, with a solemn face.

"What?" Jiang Ying glanced at him with some surprise.

"This thing is very similar to the story in your mouth?"

"......" Jiang Ying was stunned for a while.

"I've been wondering what they were trying to do to assassinate you, and it seems more reasonable to turn the tiger away from the mountain or to threaten you. ”

"In this assassination, my so-called pro-soldier is the only variable, if it weren't for me, you would have fallen into the hands of the man in black by now, combined with the current situation, what do you guess will happen?"

Jiang Ying's eyes froze instantly.

"In their plan, it should be to divert Uncle Jiang's attention, this assassination success is the best, but if it doesn't work, they definitely have a second plan. Chen Mingye narrowed his eyes and said lightly, "I don't know what they want to do, but in Southern Xinjiang, something big must happen." ”

"Then we'd better hurry back. Jiang Ying picked up the long sword and stood up suddenly.

Chen Mingye smiled bitterly: "You are really resolute, but I'm afraid my state is not very good." ”

"He, promised me, as long as I beat him in three moves, I will let me break through the world," Jiang Ying's eyes were misty, and she muttered in a low voice, she looked up at Chen Mingye, and said expectantly, "He will keep his promise, right?"

Chen Mingye sighed: "A gentleman's words are difficult to follow, I believe that Uncle Jiang will not forget his promise to a daughter." ”

The night was lonely, Jiang Ying gritted her teeth, sat down cross-legged silently, and began to breathe.

Chen Mingye looked at her for a while, stretched out his hand to stir the fire, and his eyes flashed with a look of memory.

Father, the man with his back like a mountain.
