He Ran watched Xiao Xiao walk away without hesitation, and an evil fire suddenly arose in his heart. He suddenly overturned the tables in front of him, and the dishes and cups on them fell to the ground with a clanking sound.
Hearing the sound, Zhong An opened the curtain and took a look, then immediately retracted.
He Ran sat motionless for a while, then stood up and walked out of the tent, walked to a small river, and quietly looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
It took a long time for the evil fire in his heart to gradually extinguish. The battle against Xinyan failed to succeed as expected, and the battle against White Lotus also ended without results. This had already made him depressed, but it only added to the disaster.
Encountering this group of horse thieves, nearly a hundred of Zangxiangu's disciples died in battle, and even hooked up with Xi Qun, a good brother who had followed him for many years.
Xi Qun has been following him since he miscalculated in his thousands-mile attack on Ji Gong. He went through the ups and downs of Kang State, the envoy of Shuo State, and was trapped in Xiping... It can be said that he has suffered all kinds of dangers. He is called a master and servant, but he is actually a brother.
He lost his life for no reason at the hands of a mere horse thief, which really made him resentful and resentful.
All the suppressed bad emotions were finally aroused by Xiao Xiao's arrogance. He Ran was a very tolerant person, and it was rare for him to overturn several cases. But at that time, his evil fire had just broken out. He looked up at the bright moon.
At this moment, his evil fire was ignited to the extreme. If Zhong Zong and others could get closer, they should be able to hear the "gurgling" sound of his teeth.
"Find the body of a horse thief."
When Zhong Zong and others heard the military advisor's emotionless voice, they all felt frightened and hurriedly spread out to look for it. It didn't take long for two people to bring one up.
He Ran pointed to a bush and said, "Tie it up."
Everyone didn't know what he was going to do, and they didn't dare to ask any more questions, so they quickly tied the decapitated body to the bush.
He Ran climbed on Yan Zhihong and ran for a while, drew his sword in his hand and hurriedly rode back. He crossed the corpse and struck a sharp blow with the sword.
Listening to the sound of bones and swords clashing, all the guards looked at each other speechless and sighed in their hearts, how much trouble has accumulated in the heart of the military advisor?
He Ran remained silent and just urged his horse and waved his sword over and over again. Under the moonlight, this scene looked extremely strange.
The rapid sound of horse hooves disturbed some soldiers, and the guards waved them back silently, for fear that making any noise would disturb the military advisor's venting.
When Xiao Ling rode over, Zhong An ran up to her and took hold of her horse's reins, saying in a low voice: "Sister Xiao Ling, please go back. Nothing is wrong here."
Xiaoling looked at He Ran galloping on his horse and frowned: "What is he doing?"
Zhong Yan said with a bitter face: "I'm practicing slashing."
"Who are you lying to?" Xiaoling glared at him, "Let go, I'll go take a look."
Zhong Min knew that she had great respect with the military advisor, so he let go of his hand and whispered: "Then go and persuade her. Be careful with what you say, and make sure not to offend him again."
Xiaoling said "Hmm" and chased after He Ran who was riding a horse. She frowned when she passed by the chopped body. She hurriedly urged the horse to stop him when he reined in his horse and was about to charge back.
, "What are you doing?"
He Ran was already sweating on his forehead. When he saw it was her, he rubbed the sword on the sole of his boot and said, "I have nothing to do. Let's have some fun." After that, he started to move Yan Zhihong again.
Xiaoling grabbed the reins of the horse and said, "Okay! If you want to go crazy for a while, I have something to tell you."
At this moment, He Ran had almost vented the evil fire in his heart. He dismounted and rubbed the sword with the grass and said, "Say it."
Xiaoling also dismounted, approached him and asked in a low voice: "Did you two quarrel again?"
He Ran returned the sword to its sheath, snorted and said, "No."
Xiao Ling curled her lips and said, "You still want to lie to me? One of you is here slashing with a sword, and the other is back and sitting in silence, feeling angry. Why did you provoke her again?"
"Go ask her and see who offends whom!" He Ran angrily kicked the weeds.
"Nonsense! Dare I ask her? Tell her what's going on. I can help you talk to her when I get back."
He Ran exhaled heavily, sat down on the grass and closed his mouth.
Xiaoling couldn't help but laugh and said: "What are you like! One is a military advisor and the other is a king. You guys look like ordinary children. Look at you, you are not afraid of others laughing at you."
He Ran sighed and said: "I am not doing this all for her. You said, Xi Qun and I have been through so many winds and turbulences, Bafu City, Wanhe Pass, Wangyun City, Lingjing City...
, Alas, which time was not a narrow escape, why did you die at the hands of a group of horse thieves? "
Xiao Ling said faintly: "His martial arts skills are very good. He didn't want to return this time. If the four hundred of them formed a formation to fight against the enemy, they wouldn't have suffered so many casualties in such a short time. Don't you understand? They are afraid of horse thieves."
I'm going to chase you, so I used all my strength to hold back the horse thief, Xi Qun... I'm also very sad about Xi Qun's death. He was very good to me. Don't think about it. I'm about to cry again.
"
He Ran hugged his knees and looked up at the night sky, with tears in his eyes. How could he not understand what Xiaoling said. In just a moment, nearly a hundred of the well-trained disciples of Zangxian Valley were injured. The tragic scene at that time was obvious. After thinking about it for a moment,
He couldn't help crying. Why didn't Xiao Xiao understand his feelings? It was for her that he brought people here. Why was she still confronting him at this time? She was really difficult to serve.
Oh! He grabbed a handful of weeds and threw them out bitterly.
"Okay, you go back and rest, I'm fine."
Xiaoling pushed him worriedly and said, "You don't seem to be okay? In addition to being sad for these brothers, did you also have a quarrel with her?"
He Ran knew that this kind of thing couldn't be hidden from Xiaoling, and complained: "Winter is coming soon, and we can't fight here. I kindly asked her to go back together, but she used a bunch of fallacious excuses and insisted on staying here.
, you said, what is this?!"
Xiaoling frowned and said, "This is strange. She also complained to me a few days ago that the cold wind here is too strong and she is not used to eating meat all day long. It is said that she is also looking forward to going back as soon as possible. Why..."
He Ran snorted angrily, "She just deliberately went against me, not once or twice!"
Xiaoling hit him hard and said with light in her eyes: "I know, you fool!"
"Why am I so stupid? You don't have to excuse her. If you want to leave or not, if she doesn't leave, come back with me. You can't always spoil her!"
Xiaoling pushed him hard and said angrily: "Don't be so heartless. Don't think carefully about why she refuses to go back."
"What's there to think about..." He Ran stopped mid-sentence, blinking as if he thought of something.
"Have you thought about it? It's not obvious. Let's go back with you. You go back to Zangxian Valley. She will be alone in Muhu City again. She wants you to stay here with her. Do you think that's what she means?
"
This is exactly what He Ran thought of. The evil fire was so strong just now that he got carried away for a moment. Now thinking about it calmly, there is no other reason why Xiao Xiao insists on staying here. She is thin-skinned, so naturally she won't say it clearly.
, you can only express it in this way, otherwise you wouldn't lose face to yourself when you are in such a bad mood.
After thinking about this, the remaining anger in his heart dissipated, and he stared at the night in silence for a long time.
