Chapter 240
Zhao Ling'er pulled her behind her, forcibly suppressed the sadness and anger in her heart, saluted the commander of the divine army who was sitting on the horse, didn't say anything, and took the junior sisters to deal with the aftermath of the camp.
The so-called aftermath is all sadness. The wounded soldiers and the men supported each other, looking at the bodies of their comrades lying horizontally and vertically, looking at the pools of blood with severed limbs, they could not feel the luck and joy of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, many people began to cry loudly, and the cries in the camp shook the sky.
Listening to the continuous cries in the camp, the leader of the divine army frowned slightly.
He could understand the indifference of the disciples of the Jade Xuanmen of the Western Jin Dynasty, but he didn't care about the other party's indifference, but was a little disdainful and sarcastic, no longer paying attention to the other party, and raised his right hand to signal his subordinates to start cleaning up the battlefield.
The cold and gorgeous blade of the sword pierced the thief's neck, cutting off the head with a twist and turn, and throwing the dead thief into the bag, regardless of whether his eyes were open or closed.
The Divine Army began to harvest the heads of horse thieves.
Although there were many horse thieves on the outskirts of the camp who died from the first counterattack in the early morning, from the runic fire, and from the desperate resistance of everyone in the food team, no one would compete with these divine troops for military merit at this moment.
The people in the camp were busy treating the seriously wounded, carrying the remains, cleaning up the damage, saving the little food and grass left, and dissipating the sadness and anger in their hearts.
With the shattered and charred car formation as the dividing line, the camp and the outside are naturally divided into two worlds.
The commander of the divine army looked at the ruined camp, looked at the obvious traces of battle, and imagined the horse thief charge and tragic battle that the camp had endured before the reinforcements arrived, and he couldn't help but feel a little admiration.
His eyes fell on the wreckage of the carriage in the center of the camp, his pupils shrunk, and he didn't see the figure of the young talisman, nor did he see the black shadow.
After a moment of silence, he lightly kicked the horse's belly, urged the horse to pass through a gap in the chariot formation, came behind the disciples of the Jade Xuanmen who were busy treating the wounded, and asked, "Who are you in charge of here?"
Zhao Ling'er forcefully tied a piece of cloth to the bloody mouth of a man's broken arm, gently lifted the hair that was congealed with blood on his forehead, and turned to look at the commander on the horse, but did not answer him.
A famous Jade Xuanmen disciple listened to the question, and subconsciously looked back at a carriage in the camp.
Yaxiu suddenly thought of what Xu Chen had confessed before, handed the wound medicine in his hand to a senior sister next to him, and trotted away outside the camp.
In addition to the mules and horses, the food delivery team also had three carriages, among which the carriage where the maiden talisman was located had been shattered by the power of the beginning of the half-Dao origin talisman, and the other two carriages were intact.
The black horse was waiting boringly outside one of the carriages, the interior of which was dimly lit, and only when the heath winter wind lifted the corner of the curtain did it become a little brighter, and a package rested quietly on the board, the degree of sunken of the board surface, which obviously possessed a weight disproportionate to the volume.
Xu Chen stretched out his hand to wipe away the blood oozing from his mouth and nose, reached into the basin beside him and washed it with water, then took a small copper box and opened it, looking at the shabby things in the box, he couldn't help but shake his head.
"A girl's family, why only have such a little fat powder?"
"It's not mine, it's theirs. ”
Duanmu Rong, who was sitting opposite, looked at Xu Chen intently, it seemed that only by concentrating all her energy could she let her casual and indifferent gaze accurately fall on his face, and at this time there were obviously some doubts in her eyes.
"As far as I know, the girls of the Western Jin Dynasty attach great importance to makeup, and last year there was a kind of eyebrow raising makeup popular in the capital, I heard that it came from you, why don't you people care about this?"
Xu Chen lowered his head and grinded the fat powder, and his movements looked very skillful and sophisticated.
"Cultivators, why bother with makeup. ”
Duanmu Rong looked at him quietly, and seeing that he didn't want to discuss this issue, Hei Li's eyebrows slowly frowned, and asked, "Why do you want makeup?"
Xu Chen raised his head, reached out and picked up the hair on her forehead, and with a few random movements of his fingers, he combed the black hair like a waterfall, and then picked up an extremely delicate wooden hairpin beside him and pinned it.
"Because we need you to be very energetic now. ”
He concentrated on picking the shades of rouge, and explained casually: "The guys in the court are all neurotics, although it stands to reason that they are shameless, but they will not go crazy anytime and anywhere, but no one knows if they will do something more crazy in order to prevent their shamelessness from spreading." ”
Xu Chen picked up a touch of rouge with his fingernails, refined it, and then dipped it into a pure white cotton handkerchief specially found, motioned to the girl talisman to raise her face, and said: "The only thing we can use to deter them now is you, so you have to be mental, you can't be as weak as you are now, it looks like you may die at any time." ”
"What's the relationship between the two?" Duanmu Rong asked seriously.
"Although you are a well-known bookworm in the world, enough to deter that group of gods, but if you are too weak, it is easy to stimulate the madness of some neurotics, once the other party goes crazy, it doesn't matter who you are, I understand that this kind of psychological factor is difficult to explain, you just need to know that there are a lot of life-and-death fights in the world, often just because someone looks at someone. ”
Seeing the blue on his waist from the shore of the blue Winter Lake, he went into the wasteland and fought side by side until today, Xu Chen guessed Duanmu Rong's true identity, and this was the first time he made it clear in his words.
There is only one girl talisman who can draw half of the source talisman in the whole world.
Because there is only one bookworm in the world.
I don't know if she understood Xu Chen's words, anyway, she raised her face very honestly, her face was very small, her cheeks were slightly bulging, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, although she was pale and haggard at the moment, she was still good-looking.
Xu Chen took a small square scarf dipped in rouge, looked at the little face close at hand, was stunned, and then smiled.
The touch of gently rubbing the girl's little face with his fingers is very good, especially the slightly bulging cheeks, which are soft and plump, Duanmu Rong'an sat quietly, lowered his head slightly, and let him smear it on his face, his eyelashes trembled slightly.
After a short time, the makeup was completed, and the girl's pale and haggard face looked vivid and beautiful, and the flush looked extremely real.
Xu Chen thought to himself when his craft had become so good? Then he should give her a thrush, but he noticed that her eyebrows were thin and dark, and they were as beautiful as a painting, and after thinking for a while, he finally put down the charcoal lightly.
"Do you do these things often?" Duanmu Rong looked at him and suddenly asked.
Duanmu Rong's long, sparse eyelashes blinked, and he didn't ask any more questions, turned around, lifted the curtain and looked out, his cheeks, which had just become a little ruddy, turned pale again.
People in the camp are moving the bodies of the dead, collecting wood, and presumably cremating them. On the outskirts of the camp, the work of harvesting the heads of horse thieves was almost completed, and the bright armor with black gold tattoos was stained with blood, and I don't know how many heads were in the sack, which looked bulging.
The commander of the Divine Army looked at the girl talisman who lifted the curtain, noticed that she was in good spirits, and couldn't help but secretly feel a sigh, thinking that this woman had just taken a great risk to forcibly cross the border to cast the source talisman, but she didn't expect that after such a short period of time, she would be able to recover as before, and she was indeed worthy of being a disciple of the Jade Xuanmen.
"It turned out that you were in charge here, I didn't know before, so the rescue was late, and I ask the young master of the Xuanyuan to forgive me. ”
The commander of the divine army looked calm, and with a word, he brought the incident of standing still and watching the attack on the camp coldly, waved his hand, and showed rare respect to the bookworm Duanmurong, and then said: "The young lady is in the carriage on the meadow at this time, and she asks me to invite the young master to meet. ”
"Yuxuanmen was escorted by the imperial court to the grain and grass into the royal court, and he did not dare to leave lightly. ”
Duanmu Rong looked at the Divine Army Commander on the horse and said.
The commander smiled slightly and said, "The young lady and the young master have not seen each other for several years, and they are looking forward to seeing each other very much. ”
These words are peaceful and affectionate, but they indifferently reveal a hint of strength.
Duanmu looked at him expressionlessly and said, "If you really want to see each other, she can come down from the top of the meadow to see me before, and since she hasn't seen me before, then there is no need to see me again at this time." ”
It was said calmly, with a sense of sarcasm, but it did not hide a stronger meaning.
The commander of the divine army looked at her sitting at the front of the carriage in silence, and did not know what was on his mind, and finally turned around and left without saying a word.
Outside the camp, a divine soldier walked up to his horse with two knives in his hand.
The commander looked at the intricate lines engraved on these two standard sabers, although he couldn't see the meaning for a while, but as a powerhouse of the Five Realms, he instinctively felt the beauty and realm hidden in them, and his eyes lit up.
Just as he was about to take the two knives as trophies and study them in the future, a crisp and angry voice sounded not far away.
"That's ours!"
Yaxiu glared angrily at the commander on the horse, his face was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his body was covered with dust and blood stains, which was very dirty, and it looked like he had been looking for these two knives outside the camp for a long time.
The commander smiled faintly, lightly lifted the reins and prepared to leave, not bothering to pay attention to it.
Yaxiu took small steps and rushed to his horse's head like a gust of wind, holding the ebony handle of Xiu's sword, staring at him and refusing to get out of the way, unconcealing the hatred in his clear eyes.
Several of the gods unceremoniously stepped forward and tried to push her away.
With a clear sound, Ya Xiuxiu unsheathed her sword, looked at several divine soldiers who were much taller than herself, without fear, her voice trembled slightly and said resentfully: "The head of the horse thief was cut off by you, do you still want to rob our weapons?"
The Divine Army Commander looked at her coldly and said, "The disciples of the Jade Xuanmen are either Fu or Sword, when will you start using the sword?"
Zhao Ling'er and other Yuxuanmen disciples saw the conflict here, and they all rushed over, and found that the petite little junior sister was surrounded by these shameless divine army, and the anger that had been suppressed for a long time finally couldn't help but burst out anymore, and the sound of the sword body rubbing its sheath sounded intensively, and it confronted the divine army.
The atmosphere in the arena suddenly became extremely tense, although the elite of the Divine Army was the first, and the number of Jade Xuanmen disciples was extremely small, and they were all exhausted, but with that stoic and iron-blooded aura, they did not retreat even half a step.
A gust of winter wind blew in the meadow, Duanmu Rong walked over slowly, the white dress on her body was blown by the wind, her expression was indifferent and her eyes were indifferent, she looked at the impatient face of the divine army and the commander on the horse, and said indifferently: "My Jade Xuanmen disciple can use a knife if he wants to, does this kind of thing also need to be explained to the imperial court?"
The commander of the divine army looked at her silently, and suddenly said, "The young master's words seem to be a little unreasonable. ”
Duanmu Rong said: "Could it be that the current imperial court will think that the thief is also reasonable?"
The face of the commander of the Divine Army changed slightly, and he felt humiliated, looking at her and those disciples of the Jade Xuanmen who were holding a sword in front of the horse, and said in a cold voice: "It is so disrespectful to compare the imperial court with a thief!
Duanmu Rong responded calmly: "I am waiting for the court's lecture on behalf of the family teacher. ”
The commander of the divine army obviously guessed that this bookworm should be forcing his spirit at this time, but he didn't dare to offend at will, he stared at the eyes of the girl talisman, and suddenly said: "The young master was ordered by the imperial court to transport grain and grass into the royal court, this matter is related to the peace between the two sides, and now the grain and grass are destroyed, I don't know how the young master will explain to the court and the coalition army, if the peace between the two sides breaks down because of this matter, I don't know if the young master can afford it." ”
"How to explain to the imperial court and the coalition forces is my business, and it has nothing to do with you. Duanmu Rong's eyelashes blinked slightly, and he said softly: "Even if I don't confess, you can't kill me here......"
She raised her head, looked quietly into the eyes of the Divine Army Commander, and said, "Or kill everyone here." ”
