The night is vast.

The wind on the grassland was blocked by the mountains in this area and could not blow into Huazhou. It could only blow into Pei Yue's heart.

His performance just now was not pretentious. Since leaving Kyoto, he has already proven that he is a competent general. The soldiers of the Zangfeng Guard know his ability and character very well, so there is no need for those false performances.

When the war ended, the excitement and passion gradually subsided, followed by endless fatigue and heavy pressure.

Those with minor injuries will naturally receive generous rewards, and those with disabilities will also receive protection for the rest of their lives. At least Pei Yue has the Xiangyun Company in his hands, which can give these brave and desperate soldiers a good place to go. But those fallen comrades will never wake up again

When they came over, all their family members could see were the bones in urns.

No matter how many tragic stories he has heard, no matter how many times he has thought about the cruelty of war, when those living people die in front of him, it will still cause pain in Pei Yue's heart. After all, he lived in a peaceful world in his previous life.

In that era, I had never personally experienced the war, and all my imagination was based on my understanding of books or film and television works. Since there is no personal pain, the confusion and sadness at this moment are unavoidable.

The night breeze was slightly cool, Pei Yue stared at the vast night sky, and gently exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Soft footsteps sounded behind him, and Pei Yue did not look back. He knew who would appear at this time.

Ye Qi walked to Pei Yue and sat down, picked up his right hand and listened to his pulse. After a moment, he relaxed slightly and said, "It seems that the qi training method Mr. Xi taught you is indeed extraordinary. She was not seriously injured after being hit on both feet.

"

Pei Yue calmed down, raised his right arm to pose like a bodybuilder, and said with a smile: "If you give me another year, she will definitely not be my opponent!"

Ye Qi rolled his eyes at him and said slowly: "You are trying to show off again! You can't fight with others for at least half a month. You must take the wound medicine I brought on time, otherwise it will hurt your heart. This martial arts will definitely

It will be useless."

Pei Yue's face turned bitter. Lingzhou was not stable at all times. There was no telling when trouble would occur. If he couldn't fight with others for half a month, wouldn't that mean he was at the mercy of others?

Ye Qi raised her hand and tapped his forehead, and chuckled: "I won't go back to Kyoto, what are you afraid of?"

Pei Yue suddenly understood, nodded repeatedly and said: "Exactly, my wife is the best in the world."

Even though the night was gloomy, Ye Qi's cheeks were still a little red. She turned her head to the other side and said in a bad tone: "Who is your wife? The one from Guangping Houfu? The one from Shenfu in Yongrenfang? Or Xingyang?

Who is the imperial envoy in the city?"

Pei Yue said sternly: "Conscience of heaven and earth, I have never met Mr. Shen's daughter. Except for a few letters written in the past, we have no friendship at all. Those letters only talked about the court structure and old things.

There is no personal relationship between men and women involved."

Ye Qi hummed: "I heard that Shen Danmo's color is very good, and her talent and learning are outstanding. She is the most famous and talented woman in Kyoto. I haven't read those letters. Who knows what you talked about?"

Pei Yue smiled bitterly and said: "I will never lie to you. If I really have an affair with Miss Shen, let me become a big turtle!"

"Bah, it sounds so ugly. What does it mean to have an affair? Aren't you afraid that Silent Cloud will arrest you and put you in the prison of Taishitai Pavilion?"

“What’s the point of fear if there’s no ghost in your heart?”

"I believe you for the time being. Sister Zhen'er, you don't need to explain. I quite like her temperament and will not deliberately embarrass her. It's just the person in the imperial envoy's office in Xingyang City. You didn't deny it. I think the rumors are true.

What I don’t quite understand is that you never messed with those romantic women in Kyoto, so why did you act so wildly after you left my sight?”

"Well, it's a long story."

"It's a long night, you can say it slowly, I'm not in a hurry."

Pei Yue took the dry food and water from Ye Qi and began to tell the story of Lin Shuyue. He was already very eloquent, and Lin Shuyue's life experience was really pitiful. Apart from what happened that night a few days ago, he

It is quite touching to talk about the relationship between Lin Shuyue's past and himself.

Ye Qi originally just wanted to change the topic to relieve his worries, but in the end she was very emotional and said softly: "She is a poor person. It is her good fortune to meet you."

Pei Yue said cautiously: "Ye Qi, you won't beat her, right?"

Ye Qi shook his head and said: "No."

Pei Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Now his feelings for Ye Qi are getting deeper and deeper. If this girl really pretends to be a lady and teaches Lin Shuyue a lesson, he can't think of a good way to deal with it.

Ye Qi turned to look at him and sneered: "I will beat you until you recover."

Pei Yue moved closer to her and said with a flattering smile: "You can beat her as long as you want, as long as you don't kill her."

"Scoundrel!"

Ye Qi stretched out her hand to push him away with a look of disgust, but her movements were very gentle.

After using up the water and dry food, Pei Yue looked at Ye Qi's wind-blown hair and said seriously: "Ye Qi, thank you."

"Thank me for what?"

"You understand."

Ye Qi did not continue the verbal argument. After thinking for a moment, she said softly: "Master liked to talk about truth before he passed away. I don't like to listen to it very much, but Chen Xizhi refused to miss a word. But I remember something he said that was very interesting.

Well, some things in this world have to be done by someone, and the process will definitely be difficult.

It will be difficult, and people will bleed and die, but without the efforts of these people, what would the world be like? If you are hesitant, why not not do it, return home and live in seclusion? Since you are determined to embark on this road, then all

Hesitation and hesitation will only harm yourself and those you care about."

Pei Yue listened quietly, and after a long time he said in a deep voice: "I have never regretted it, but this time it is my responsibility. If I had been more careful, they would not have had to fall into such a dangerous situation."

Ye Qi stared at his face and said softly: "If you make a mistake, correct it. How can there be any victorious general in this world? The most important thing is not to make the same mistake again."

Pei Yue nodded seriously.

Ye Qi suddenly raised her hand and stroked his cheek, then took the initiative to move over and rest her head on his shoulder.

At this moment, Pei Yue felt extremely at peace.

Ye Qi looked at the starry sky above his head and said slowly: "I don't understand the military formation, so I won't give you any random ideas, but the pensions for the casualties must be done well. If the company doesn't come up with the money, you

Ask someone to take out the money I have stored in the Taiping Bank and use it."

Pei Yue put his arm around her shoulders, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't treat anyone badly."

Ye Qi closed her eyes slightly and asked softly: "Chen Xizhi will not be fooled easily. I know her very well. Although her vitality is severely damaged this time and she hates you to the extreme, the more this happens, the less likely she will show up.

."

Pei Yue patted her arm and said coldly: "I don't have to use conspiracy, but if she doesn't dare to show up this time, she will become a loner in the future."

Ye Qi was startled for a moment, and then she understood what Pei Yue was thinking. After hesitating for a moment, she finally didn't speak, and just sighed softly.

Pei Yue knew why she sighed, but as said before, since she is determined to embark on this thorny road, she cannot always think about being like the light.

The tragedy in the canyon had told him that this world is like this, if you don't kill people, people will kill you.

It makes no sense.

Ye Qi suddenly stretched out his arms to hug him, and then slowly fell asleep.

Through the starlight, Pei Yue saw the tired look on her face. Thinking of her traveling two thousand miles to get here, he couldn't help but feel deep guilt and heartache.
