At this time, we were far away in the mountains and forests outside Beijing.
It was almost nightfall, and the Golden Crow had just sunk into the other side of the mountain.
The sky still retains the rays of the setting sun.
It was like a ball of boiling fire with little sparks left, burning out the last deep blue in the sky.
The moon has risen quietly, spreading a faint brightness, and falling on the top of the mountain, it looks even whiter.
Bai Yi was ordered to go out to suppress the bandits this time, and not only brought Ye Siming with him, but also General Song's son, Song Qiyuan, who volunteered to follow him.
Bai Yi looked at Song Qiyuan taking care of an injured woman who had just been brought back.
He frowned and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.
Song Qiyuan asked two subordinates to bandage the woman's leg injury.
He turned around and asked Bai Yi: "General Bai, we have been here for half an hour. When will Mr. Ye come back?"
Half an hour ago, Ye Siming, who had said nothing and had a cold face, suddenly said to Bai Yi——
"I'm going to the woods ahead. You go ahead. Don't wait for me. I'll catch up in a moment."
With that said, he ignored Bai Yi's dissuasion and went deep into the dark forest alone.
Bai Yi couldn't worry about him, and was even more worried that he would get lost in the mountains.
Therefore, let the accompanying soldiers rest where they are and wait for Ye Siming to return.
During this period, Song Qiyuan went ahead to look for water, and even rescued a woman who was injured by a trap.
But half an hour passed, and Ye Siming still didn't come back.
Bai Yi looked at the sky.
The deep mountainous terrain here is complex, and if it were darker, it might be difficult to move forward.
Bandits are cunning. If they see the light of a torch, they may alert the enemy and hide in advance.
Bai Yi thought carefully and said: "We'll wait for half a stick of incense. If he doesn't come back yet, we'll leave first."
At that time, he settled the soldiers and came back to find Ye Siming.
However, not long after he said these words, Ye Siming had already returned with a bag of things.
Everyone looked at him in surprise.
Ye Siming's face was pale, and he looked at Bai Yi: "Didn't I tell you to leave first, so you don't have to wait for me?"
Before Bai Yi could speak, Song Qiyuan walked up to him.
"Mr. Ye, do you know how dangerous it is to act alone in the mountains? The army is about unity. If you are not around, everyone will be worried about your safety. Don't take such willful risks in the future!"
Yesi Ming glanced at him, like a sharp weapon with a black light.
"I said, you don't have to wait for me, you can go ahead."
His cold gaze swept over the woman resting against the tree trunk.
Ye Siming frowned: "Where did he come from?"
Song Qiyuan's subordinates said: "Our young master saved her. She accidentally stepped on the animal trap and injured her ankle."
Ye Siming stared at the woman coldly. Her ankle had just been wrapped in white cloth, but blood was still showing through.
The young man's eyebrows were raised, showing undisguised depth and danger.
"You can't take her with you and leave her here."
Song Qiyuan was startled and immediately said angrily: "Why? Do you know that there is no village in front of the village or a store in the back? If you leave her here, she will be eaten by wild beasts!"
Ye Siming sneered: "You also know that there is no village or shop here, so how can such a helpless woman walk here alone and still get hurt?
You know, this is a deep forest, and experienced hunters will get lost. Who would place a animal trap in such a place? Song Qiyuan, use your brain."
