It was dark, night was falling, and the pioneer camp stationed at the foot of Liang Weng Mountain was shrouded in darkness and silence. The fire in the camp is dotted, the soldiers in front of the camp patrol in order, the soldiers' expressions are calm, but their hearts are hesitant, and the seemingly peaceful night seems to imply the tranquility before the storm......

Xiao Tian camped in the tent......

Xiao Tian had no military affairs tonight, and he had nothing to do in the camp studying the art of the mechanism. However, Xiao Tian's heart is not stable these days, since Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to capture Wang Dasheng's task, the entanglement of the fateful duel has been bothering him. From time to time, he would think of all kinds of things that he and Su Jia had fought with Wang Dasheng, and whenever he thought of the confrontation on the Shenfeng Cliff, Xiao Tian felt an indescribable pain in his heart. Fortunately, now that Su Jia is alive by his side, Xiao Tian feels relatively better than the pain of martyrdom at that time......

Unlike Xiao Tian, Su Jia has a patrol mission tonight, and now she is tidying up the armor on her body and preparing before going out. The peerless beauty is dressed in silver and white armor, and a chivalrous woman style emerges spontaneously, and the two temples hang down between the helmets, and the silhouette is beautiful and heroic, which makes people intoxicated with awe.

Xiao Tian was like this, looking at Su Jia in a daze, looking at the beautiful figure, and temporarily forgetting the troubles in his heart. Su Jia saw Xiao Tian staring at him with staring eyes, and was shy in his heart, but on the surface, he said forcefully: "What to see, and then look at the ...... to gouge out your eyeballs."

"Look at you...... you're still wrong," Xiao Tian couldn't help but tease, and praised like honey on his lips, "Look at you, you're not beautiful, you look good in any clothes, and even the armor you wear on the march doesn't lose your style......

"Hmph, you will play tricks and talk one by one, if you really want to do something, you will always drop the chain......" Su Jia retorted with a blush, in fact, she was very happy in her heart.

However, Xiao Tian heard Su Jia mocking himself about dropping the chain again, and couldn't help but retort: "I don't dare to provoke you, I'm afraid that you will slap me a few more times...... These days have passed, and the wound on his face has finally healed......" As he spoke, Xiao Tian patted his face very funny, looking very amused.

Su Jia almost laughed out loud when she saw it, but when she heard Xiao Tian's slightly "blame" tone, she couldn't help but darken her eyes and said, "Oh, you praised me for this...... Why, after being taught a lesson by me last time, now that you're finally letting go?"

"Isn't it?" Only the two lovers were in the camp, and Xiao Tian did not shy away from saying, "You said, listen to your words well, and you will serve me well." I thought it was something, but it turned out to help my face swell down every day, and then whisper a few 'sweet' words to me......"

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Su Jia blushed and continued to "toughly", "It seems that I think of myself as everyone's young master, my 'housekeeper' is really difficult, and I have to keep worrying about treating an injury......

"By the way......" Xiao Tian seemed to think of something, and changed the topic, "I revisited my hometown after two years and returned to Liangweng Mountain again, if there is no war, do you want to take the opportunity to see Master Gao?" Xiao Tian thought of his master Gao Ying, who lived in seclusion here.

When Su Jia heard this, she smiled and said, "Hmph, just Master's temper, you went to see her, and he didn't scold you?"

"How is that possible?" Xiao Tian smiled helplessly.

"How is it impossible?" Su Jia continued, "You drop the chain every day outside, and after two years, your habits have not improved at all...... Master, her old man lives quietly in the Plum Blossom Villa, and if we disturb her like this, won't let her lose her temper? And I'm sure she must be scolding you and not me. If I were Master Gao, I wouldn't even shake you off, I would just go up with a stick-"

"Hmph, it's really Jia'er, her personality hasn't changed in two years, she ......will do it if she doesn't agree," Xiao Tian muttered to himself.

"What did you say?" Su Jia heard it and glanced at Xiao Tian darkly.

"It's nothing-" Xiao Tian deliberately raised his voice and replied, thinking that in addition to Master Gao Yinggao in Plum Blossom Villa, there was also Xiaoqing, the maid who had been taking care of himself and Su Jia before, so he longed again, "Master has a bad temper, it's really not good, it's always okay to meet Miss Xiaoqing, right?"

"Well, think about it, it's been a long time since I thought of Sister Xiaoqing......" Su Jia held her chin, recalling the days of Plum Blossom Villa, Nuan Nuan said, "Sister Xiaoqing is so good, in my most difficult days, she encouraged me in every way, and she was there, so I didn't give up hope of life at that time." Think about how I used to hold her hostage, and she didn't blame me yet......"

"Yes, the little young girl is gentle and virtuous, so-and-so has to study hard, ah......" Xiao Tian teased while yawning deliberately.

Su Jia knew that Xiao Tian was talking about herself, her expression darkened again, and she rubbed Xiao Tian's face with her hand.

"Hey, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts......" Xiao Tian made a painful expression, pulled Su Jia's hand away, and said with a look of anger, "Don't do it, don't do it, still move-"

"Hmph-" Su Jia twisted her head to the side and continued to sulk.

made a joke with Su Jia, Xiao Tian was amused again and relaxed each other's mood. Xiao Tian looked at Su Jia's rarely cheerful expression, and secretly relieved in his heart: "Hey, now Jia'er is much more cheerful than two years ago, I really hope that she can maintain such calm and optimistic in the future, lest I always want to break my head and come up with ideas to make her happy every day......"

After a joke, Xiao Tian withdrew his smile a little and asked a little seriously: "By the way, Jia'er, I told you a few days ago about Wang Dasheng......

Finally when it came to serious matters, Su Jia also put on a serious face, and responded: "Ah, you mean that Zhu Yuanzhang asked you to capture Wang Dasheng's task, if Bianliang starts a war......"

"I'm afraid Wang Dasheng also knows the news that the two of us are in the army...... Xiao Tian said in a low voice, "Two years ago, he thought that Jia'er was dead, but now that he knows that you are still alive, I'm afraid he ......"

"I'm afraid he can't wait to kill me with his own hands again......," Su Jia followed coldly, "As far as martial arts are concerned, it shouldn't be a big problem to defeat him, but Wang Dasheng is ruthless and vicious, and the prey he targeted, even if it is stronger than him, may die tragically in his hands in the end...... If Bianliang goes to war, the fight with Wang Dasheng is inevitable, we have to deal with it in advance, who knows if we are his opponents in a war with soldiers......"

"Jia'er, I'm ......" Xiao Tian seemed to want to say something, but stopped abruptly halfway through.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Xiao Tian's preoccupied appearance, Su Jia subconsciously asked with concern.

"Jia'er, I want to ......" Xiao Tian paused for a long time as if he had made up his mind, and said solemnly, "If I really fight Wang Dasheng again, I want to compete with him in person...... Two years ago, Jia'er fought with him several times, and the outcome was uncertain, and today, two years later, let me have a showdown with him. I once said in front of Wang Dasheng that two years later, my martial arts will definitely be successful, and now that I have done it, he will also want to kill me, although it is very dangerous, but this fateful duel, I must personally make a break with him...... Jia'er, you always say that I can't do things because I drop the chain, this time, I must personally prove my ability, to you, to Wang Dasheng, and to myself......"

"Ah Tian ......" looked at the resolute determination under Xiao Tian's handsome face, just like the first time he was emotionally attracted to Xiao Tian in the cave of Liang Weng Mountain-it was also an oath to express determination, and Su Jia felt a lot of emotion in her heart.

"And that time at Shenfeng Cliff, I thought Jia'er you were dead...... Xiao Tian didn't seem to finish speaking, and continued, "After coming out of the snake cave, I had already made up my mind to escort Ying Mei back to the mountain, and then I would go back to Bianliang to avenge you...... Although time has passed, but this time it is regarded as the fulfillment of the unfinished wish, no matter what, I have to make a break with Wang Dasheng with my own hands, for Jia'er, for the grievances of Xiaojia Villa, for my fate......" Xiao Tianyue said, the more he felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

"Hmph, it's like I'm really dead......" After Su Jia heard this, she first teased, but then a sincere feeling surged in her heart, and she turned her head sideways and blushed slightly, "But thank you, Ah Tian......"

After talking for a while, Su Jia picked up the ghost knife from the front of the case and prepared to go out of the camp to patrol.

"Let's go now?" Xiao Tian greeted with concern again.

"Well, I'll accompany Sister Ying and Brother Qin to patrol outside the camp, if you're okay, let's go and accompany my sister-in-law more tonight......" Su Jia turned her back and added, "After the Emei faction's incident, I promised my sister-in-law that someone would take turns to take care of her at all times." Brother Zichuan is not in the barracks tonight, of course only Ah Tian is you......"

"Brother Zichuan is not here...... Where did he go?" Xiao Tian asked again.

"General Chang has an order to order the general of the cavalry department of the vanguard army to go to the main camp tonight to discuss the distribution of cavalry, so Brother Zichuan and Brother Murong of Nangong have left together...... Su Jia continued to add, "Then Brother Lu Zhao and Xiao Meng went to other places to consign military rations, and Sister Jing discussed the matter of 'persuasion' at Zhu Yuanzhang's place, and I didn't come back for ten days, and I and Brother Qin, Sister Ying, were patrolling outside the camp, so only you went to accompany your sister-in-law tonight-"

"Yes, yes, I know, you really talk to me in the tone of a 'housekeeper'......" Xiao Tian finally teased, so he left the tent with Su Jia......

After parting outside the tent, Xiao Tian came to Li Yuru's camp alone. Zhao Zichuan is really not here tonight, except for Li Yuru taking care of his son in the camp, the guard Yang Xiaofei is also inseparable at all times.

"Sister-in-law, good evening-" Xiao Tian made a very reluctant tone and said hello to Li Yuru at the door.

"It's Brother Xiao-" Li Yuru greeted him with a smile when she saw it, "I didn't expect you to come over so late, I'm afraid you are also worried about me and An An, right?"

"'Also'?" Xiao Tian asked with a puzzled expression.

"No-" Li Yuru held her sleeping son and swung her head in the direction of the other side of the tent door.

Xiao Tian looked back and saw Tang Zhan holding firewood, "rushing" back and forth in and out of the tent.

"Eh, yes, and you're okay tonight......" Xiao Tian looked at Tang Zhan and couldn't help asking, "Brother Tang Zhan, what are you...... Why?"

Tang Zhan smiled, put the firewood aside and asked, "It's cold and cold, I'm afraid that my sister-in-law and child will freeze, so I help their mother and son boil some hot water...... Brother Zichuan is not here tonight, and Jing'er didn't have anything to tell me a few days ago, so I naturally came over to help take care of him...... Eh, Brother Xiao, why are you here?"

"Don't talk about me, I'm a miserable ......" Xiao Tianxia consciously laughed at himself.

Sure enough, Li Yuru was secretly happy on the other side, grinning: "Sister Su must have asked you to come over again...... After being 'taught' by her that time, you have been obedient a lot......"

Xiao Tian thought to himself, how can he not keep talking about this "ugly thing", even if it is a close friend, so Xiao Tian simply twisted his head, made a nonchalant expression and teased: "Hmph, I'm not obedient, Jia'er is like a dominatrix every day, with a stinky face...... I just cared about her, and I didn't want her to be depressed like an old woman every day, so I did everything I could to please her......"

Who knows, after Li Yuru heard it, she almost laughed from ear to ear: "Hehe, you are saying bad things about Sister Su in front of 'others' again-your face is just right, you are not afraid that she will know it again, and then continue to slap you ten times?"

"Haha......" Even Tang Zhan couldn't help but laugh out loud this time.

"Oh, what's so funny about ......" was known by his friends to have a similar personality of "afraid of women", Xiao Tian was almost unable to raise his head in front of everyone.

Li Yuru recovered her expression slightly, looked at Xiao Tian and Tang Zhan who were talking and laughing at the camp gate, and remembered that there was a conflict between the two brothers not long ago, so she said calmly: "Well, anyway, you two are fine, it's good to talk to me here...... The two of you have had a conflict before, although they have reconciled, but they still seem to have a 'gap' between each other, it's really boring for two people to compete outside......"

Thinking of that contradiction, Xiao Tian and Tang Zhan were still blocked in their hearts, especially Tang Zhan, he seemed to have a shallow knot in his heart that had not been untied. However, the two brothers are no longer embarrassed by each other, and they still laugh when they should laugh, Li Yuru suggested that the two of them move their fists and feet at the door, and the two have no objection.

"That's right......" Xiao Tian said with a smile, "It's boring in the barracks, why don't you compete with Brother Tang Zhan?"

"Hmph, I can't ask for it-" Tang Zhan also replied with a laugh.

"Don't be careless, although I wasn't your opponent when I was in Bianliang, it's different now......" Xiao Tian continued to talk.

"Try it, you couldn't beat me two years ago, and you won't be able to beat me two years later......" Tang Zhan also said "unceremoniously".

"Sister-in-law, we're outside the door, if there's anything, just call us at any time-" Xiao Tian replied very comfortably.

"Okay-" Li Yuru replied calmly, in fact, in her heart, she was already very happy to see the atmosphere of the two brothers getting back together......

The entrance of the barracks......

Su Jia, Qin Yu and Murong Ying were meticulously patrolling the camp with their respective troops. It is said that there is no military for the time being, but the army is stationed in front of Bianliang City, and once the "persuasion to surrender" is broken, war may start at any time. During this period, it is not ruled out that there will be enemy troops coming to take a look, and Su Jia and others also need to maintain a high degree of vigilance at all times......

The wind seems to be a little cool tonight, and it comes and goes. The mountain wind is a little chilly at night, accompanied by the chirping of the nighthawk in Liangweng Mountain, which makes people shiver and tremble......

The sound of orderly footsteps in the barracks, the patrolling soldiers' expressions were full of expressions, and in addition to the successive victories, the morale of the troops was greatly increased, and the officers and men of the army were full of confidence; even if a war really broke out, all the troops would be eager to try and fight in array at any time......

"A few of you, move the firewood from the school yard to the side of the gate-" Su Jia looked at the school yard was a little messy, and patrolled halfway, but found that there were scattered firewood under her feet from time to time, so she ordered her subordinates to clean it aside.

The soldiers under his command were also very scrupulous, and after receiving the order, they cleaned up the mess in the school yard......

However, at some point, there was a faint movement at the gate of the barracks, and even the cold wind in the night began to sway irregularly......

Su Jia's perception was amazing, and she sensed that there was an uninvited guest at the gate of the camp, and her eyes glanced at it......

"Come out!-" Su Jia subconsciously shouted, then picked up a piece of firewood and kicked it in the direction of the camp gate with his amazing foot...... (To be continued.) )
