Jiang Yingnian and Guan Jiyu walked at the back of the team. After the soldiers' teasing just now, the two of them were silent at the moment.
"Well... they are all jokes and nonsense. Anyway, you saved me this time, so I owe you." Guan Jiyu was the first to break the suffocating silence.
Jiang Yingnian was surprised that she could still say such soft words. In the past, even if she was beaten to death, it would be difficult to hear a good word from her mouth, right?
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? From what you're saying, do you plan to pay me back what you owe me? What are you going to use to pay me back?"
Guan Jiyu was surprised by the question and said: "What else can I use to pay you back? Do you want me to give you money?"
He looked at her sideways and teased: "Don't forget that you also damaged my white fox fur. How much do you have to pay for it?"
Mentioning that matter again... Guan Jiyu was speechless for a moment.
After being silent for a while, he still said: "If you are in danger next time, I will risk my own life to save you."
Jiang Yingnian walked slowly with her hands behind her back, and he said to her slowly: "I said you are serious, can't you expect me to be better? Since you admit that you owe me -"
He smiled slyly and said: "Then let me decide how you will repay it!"
Walking out of the east trail, it was getting late. The team led by Chen Zhang was already waiting at the entrance of Hansha Canal.
Zheshu saw them coming out from a distance and greeted them loudly: "Third Young Master! Ayu! You finally came out."
Guan Jiyu truthfully reported everything that happened on the east path to Chen Zhang. After hearing this, Chen Zhang's eyes were full of admiration and said: "We have been lying in wait on the west path for a long time without seeing any movement, so I knew that Gu Ying
The army will definitely choose which side you defend. The two of you have been able to cooperate so well when you first went into battle. You are smart and flexible in dealing with Guyi's army. I really didn't expect that you can win a beautiful battle with less than more.
!”
Jiang Yingnian took a step forward and said: "Every defensive soldier on the east trail has a contribution. Of course, my subordinates think that the one who has the greatest contribution this time must be Guan Xianfeng." He glanced at her and said: "
The situation was critical at that time, and Guan Xianfeng dared to rush to the front regardless of his personal safety. He is really a role model for us."
Guan Jiyu thought he was saying something mean again when he complimented her so coldly, but he remembered what he had said to repay her when he came out of the east path.
She hurriedly continued what he said: "General Chen, this is not the case. According to my subordinates, Jiang Xianfeng is the biggest contributor to the killing of Guyi Army. Jiang Xianfeng is both wise and brave. Compared with him, I am really ashamed."
.”
Chen Zhang waved his hands and said happily: "You two don't have to push me back and forth. I will definitely record this achievement for you. You will be feared in the future, and you will be feared in the future, hahaha!"
Guan Jiyu's face did not change and he said sincerely: "I just ask General Chen to credit Jiang Xianfeng with my share of the merits."
Before Chen Zhang could speak, Jiang Yingnian stopped him with one sentence: "Even if Guan Xianfeng is proud of himself, this is too disrespectful, right?"
Chen Zhang just thought that what the two men were pushing back and forth was the childish tricks of young people, and said: "Let's go back to the camp first."
It was late at night and the moon was bright. Guan Jiyu was wrapped in a fur blanket. His eyes were still aching from being blinded by the enemy's sand in the Hansha Canal during the day. His eyes were getting redder and swollen, and they were burning and uncomfortable. He had to sit outside the tent.
Staring at the sky blankly, the cold wind happened to blow.
Jiang Yingnian appeared next to her at some unknown time. He held two bowls of soup in his hand and handed it to her: "The Huotou Army cooked ginger soup. It's not as cold as the concentration camp here. It's colder after all."
Guan Jiyu took it and took a big sip, making a sound of "um", then blew the soup in the bowl and muttered: "It's so hot, you want to burn me to death."
He chuckled slightly at her appearance and said, "Are you stupid? You don't know how to blow on it first?" Then he sat down next to her, looked into her eyes, frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong with your eyes?"
Still so red?"
"I don't know." Guan Jiyu continued to drink the soup indifferently, and said: "The water in the army is not plentiful at all. The environment in Guan's land here is just like this. I got some water and washed it casually. It should be fine tomorrow.
Already."
Jiang Yingnian took a sip of the soup in his hand and said: "This is no small matter. You'd better have some snacks. Don't think that I can't see through your little thoughts. The war is not over yet. Don't think about deliberately putting your
My eyes are seriously swollen, and when the time comes I will have an excuse not to follow me into battle to kill the enemy."
"How could it happen?!" Guan Jiyu said angrily: "Stop judging a gentleman with a villain's heart. Only you can think of such bad thoughts!"
"Hmm." He raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't that so? Don't you think so? Since you don't have such an idea, then hurry up and fix your eyes."
"I know!" Guan Jiyu said angrily.
"I just heard General Chen say that after tomorrow, we all have to go to Zeyun Pass." Jiang Yingnian suddenly said calmly.
Guan Jiyu gave a faint "hmm" and followed his words: "What we are facing at Zeyunguan is the main force of Guyi Army. It will definitely not be as easy to fight as it is in Hanshaqu."
"But I'm looking forward to going to Zeyunguan Pass. I can't wait to go to the site of Zeyunguan Pass right now!" Although there was no obvious emotion on his face, there was uncontrollable excitement in his voice.
Guan Jiyu understood his feelings, and she felt the same at the moment. No one wanted the war to remain in a stalemate. They had no patience to keep circling with the enemy, and they just wished they could drink their blood and eat their flesh right away!
She thought about it, how could they control the rhythm of the war? The road had to be walked step by step, and she couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. She could only silently put away the two soup bowls beside her.
"You should rest earlier." He stood up, brushed the dirt off his body, and said, "See for yourself how red your eyes are. They look like a rabbit. Others don't know it, and they think I bullied you."
Cried."
Even though Guan Jiyu's eyes were red and swollen, he did not forget to glare at him, and he said with a sense of questioning: "You said it as if you have never bullied me. In the past few years, you have bullied me a lot..."
Jiang Yingnian's mind quickly flashed back to the things he had teased her for fun in the past, and when she reminded him like this, he suddenly felt a little guilty.
"Stop talking nonsense, go to bed early." He took the bowl from her hand and was about to leave.
He didn't want Guan Jiyu to call him softly from behind: "Jiang Yingnian."
He turned around and looked at her doubtfully.
"If we can really successfully repel Gu Yi's army during this trip, will you still stay in the army?" She looked up into his eyes and asked seriously.
Jiang Yingnian did not answer directly. He only said: "You have to know that the hatred in my heart cannot be easily resolved by just repelling the Guyi army. It is the army's business to repel them, and I -" He
His eyes turned cold for a moment, and he said: "I want them all to die. Even if I can't kill every Guyi army, I will still cut off King Guyi's head with my own hands to vent the hatred in my heart."
"What about me?" Her eyes were still on his face and she said, "The Battle of Guyi is over, will you give me my freedom?"
Jiang Yingnian became anxious because of this question. He did not expect that she, who was not good at speaking, would keep asking him like this.
It was rare for her to ask so many questions, and he almost thought she was concerned about his future plans. In fact, she was only concerned about her own freedom.
Where does she want to go? Those eyes are shining in the night, clearly with the light of hope.
Guan Jiyu waited expectantly for his answer. Even though her eyes were sore, she didn't dare to blink, looking forward to the words from his mouth that would give her freedom.
Obviously, Guan Jiyu has hardly had any freedom since she grew up to this age. Has she ever lived for herself? Never.
Her past was just the same boring camp training life day after day, year after year.
Now that Guan Jiyu has stepped outside the high walls of the family's mansion, she actually begins to yearn for freedom...
Jiang Yingnian felt a tightness in her chest, but she still resisted asking where she wanted to go.
He just said coldly: "We'll see when the time comes. You also said that the main force of the Guyi Army is not that easy to deal with, so we can't underestimate them yet."
"Third Young Master." She called him again.
Her tone was gentler than ever before, and it was the first time he heard this tone since he knew her.
But this didn't make him feel much joy. These three words sounded polite, but they were full of alienation. Jiang Yingnian had a hunch that her next words would only make her mood worse.
He suddenly just wanted to escape from here.
Sure enough, Guan Jiyu still maintained the cautious expectation on her face, and even had a hint of pleading: "I have always taken the eldest son's matter to my heart and never dared to forget it, nor did I dare to slack off. Don't worry about this! I just
I hope that after the Battle of Guyi is over, you can let me go and give me my freedom. You walk on your Yangguan Road, and I'll cross my single-plank bridge."
Jiang Yingnian was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
She asked tentatively: "Is it okay?"
Looking at her red eyes, Jiang Yingnian's anger suddenly burst out. He said in an extremely unhappy tone: "What's the hurry? Are you so anxious to leave the military camp? When we were in Qingzi Camp, you were alone.
Everyone is crying and shouting to come to General Beizhong Xiang. Now that you have finally come in, what are you going to do? You are the one who is coming, and you are the one who is leaving. This is a place where you can come and leave whenever you want.
Are you leaving?"
He stopped looking at her with a cold face, took the bowl and left without hesitation.
Guan Jiyu was still wondering which of his words had offended him again. The two of them had just been talking normally for a while and didn't think there was any problem. Jiang Yingnian got angry too quickly!
Guan Jiyu carefully recalled every word he just said to Jiang Yingnian, and there was nothing wrong with it. Was he blaming her for wanting to leave before avenging his revenge? She was just afraid that he would misunderstand, so she first said that she had never
You haven’t forgotten and neglected the eldest young master! Doesn’t he understand?
The ginger soup she had just drank made her body gradually warm up, and her hands and feet were no longer cold. The cold wind blew, and she felt a little comfortable.
This feeling seems familiar,
Guan Jiyu thought of the bowl of chicken soup she drank during the selection process in the concentration camp. It was freezing cold at the time, and she was just recovering from another illness. The cup of chicken soup that arrived just in time not only warmed her body, but also warmed her body.
her heart.
She also thought of the person who delivered chicken soup, his silence in the windy snow pavilion, every time he inadvertently helped, and he tasted snow sencha with her...
Second Young Master Xiang...
Guan Jiyu held his chin in his hands and stared at the night sky in trance.
Jiang Yingnian, Jiang Yingnian, if he still has a little kindness, please give her a way to freedom.
The end of her road is not death, but the warm spring and summer in the Xuli Dynasty, and the blooming flowers in the capital.
You should put down all the shackles on your body, and use this free body to go to the flower viewing appointment made by the most gentle and humble person.
