It is Hai Shi, today is the thirteenth, and the moon is gradually getting fuller. The moonlight in winter always looks cooler. Tonight, it started to snow again. Under the water-like moonlight, the snowflakes seemed to be in full bloom. It will be the Spring Festival in more than ten days, but in the military camp, I can't feel the lively atmosphere at all. Murong Shuqing leaned against the window, remembering that Xinghun and Xingyue would ask her to make lanterns with her own hands at this time, and the corners of her mouth twitched unconsciously. This is the fourth year, and it is also the first time that she has not spent the New Year with them. She still misses them very much, because in her heart, they are already her relatives.
Xuanyuan Yi didn't come to have dinner with her tonight, and Murong Shuqing was about to go to bed when a soft call came from outside the tent, "Miss Murong?"
Murong Shuqing and Lu Yi, who was making up the bed, looked at each other, who would come to her at this time? Lu Yi came to the door, opened the curtain and saw that it was the stupid boy who was stunned in the afternoon. Seeing Lu Yi came out, he smirked at her. His naive look made Lu Yi also laugh and asked, "It's you, what's your name?"
The young general quickly stood up and replied with a smile, "You can just call me Xiao Rong."
The cold wind outside made Lu Yi's face hurt, but he still smirked while standing in the cold wind. Lu Yi tightened the cotton-padded jacket on her body, put her hand to her lips, and asked while breathing, "Xiao Rong, it's so late, what are you doing to my lady?" The weather in the northwest is really unbearable.
The young general took a peek at the tent before saying, "Oh, the general invites Miss Murong to the main tent."
Murong Shuqing was already standing by the door. Hearing what he said, he didn't say much. He picked up the cloak by the door and said, "I understand, please lead the way." It was not easy for him in this cold weather.
Xiao Rong stepped back again, waved his hand vigorously and said, "Miss Murong, you are so polite, I'm not used to it." Miss Murong is a rich lady and the general's fiancée. He couldn't bear to be so polite to him.
Murong Shuqing shook his head with a light smile and didn't talk to him. He put on his cloak and said to Lu Yi, who also picked up a cloak beside him: "Lu Yi, you stay in the tent." She vomited several times, but her face is still pale, and the snow outside is so heavy, her body must not be able to take it.
"But..." The lady was still injured.
"No but, take a good rest." Murong Shuqing seldom speaks without leeway like this, Lu Yi had to bow his head and dare not make a sound. Murong Shuqing knew that she was still worried about her, so she sighed and said, "Fan Feng, come with me."
"Yes." The man who had been standing by the door replied in a low voice.
Lu Yi raised her head happily, Murong Shuqing gently pushed her into the tent, followed Xiao Rong, and walked towards the main tent.
The main tent was not far from Murong Shuqing's tent, but such a heavy snowstorm made her feel embarrassed when she entered the main tent. Murong Shuqing took off his cloak, looked up, and saw that there were not many people in the tent, all wearing armor, it seemed that they had been discussing it since the afternoon, and when they saw her come in, they all stared at her. Murong Shuqing bowed slightly and said, "Shu Qing has seen all the generals."
At this moment, a pair of big hands supported her arm, gently pulled her, and helped her to sit down on the soft couch beside the main seat. Murong Shuqing raised his head, it was Xuanyuan Yi.
Her cold hands made Xuanyuan Yi's serious face even more gloomy. He didn't even notice it was snowing so heavily outside. And she still had arrow wounds on her body, so he would agree with Pei Che to invite her over. When he saw her walk in covered in snow and wind just now, he regretted it.
"Thank you." Murong Shuqing uncomfortably pulled the blanket Xuanyuan Yi put over her legs. After all, five or six people were staring at her in disbelief, and she turned her head awkwardly. This group of people brought her here just to let them see her again.
I really thought this kind of atmosphere was too strange. Murong Shuqing was about to ask her why she came here. When he looked up, he saw Pei Che, who was sitting closest to her, had a thick gauze wrapped around his arm. He was teasing. look at yourself. Murong Shuqing asked, "Pei Che, your hand?" It stands to reason that he has been in the barracks since the afternoon, how could he be injured
Pei Che shook his head with a smile, and said, "It's okay, a little injury. I almost caught the spy just now, but unfortunately his accomplices were rescued!"
"Spy?"
"Well, I was about to arrive at the main tent just now, when I found a man in black sneaking around to look around, and I started a fight with him. I had already captured him, but his accomplices attacked me from behind. That man was a martial artist. Very strong, and finally let them run away." Speaking of this, he also had to admire the martial arts of the man in black behind him, it was too powerful, if it was Cang Yue's person, it would be really bad.
"It must have been sent by Cang Yue." Li Ming punched the wooden table next to him. The table was squeaked and crumbling.
Murong Shuqing shook his head gently, this person was so irritable, Xuanyuan Yi did not control or teach him, he was afraid that he would cause trouble. The wound on his shoulder started to ache again. Murong Shuqing didn't want to listen to them any more, and asked, "I don't know why the generals called me here, why?"
Everyone present looked at Pei Che, Murong Shuqing knew that it was Pei Che who proposed to call her, so he also turned to look at him. Facing Murong Shuqing's clear eyes, Pei Che said, "Shu Qing, today's battle is strange, and the generals and I are helpless now. We can't let the soldiers die innocently, and we can't avoid fighting all day long. I know that. You have a lot of capable people and different people, I wonder if there are people who are proficient in the five elements and good at breaking the formation?"
In fact, there is no way for him to think of this method. You Xiao doesn't seem to want to fight them according to the usual tactics, constantly making dangerous moves and tricks. There seemed to be a lot of capable people on You Xiao's side, just like the man tonight, coming to and going to the barracks was a snap. Except for Xuanyuan Yi, there was no one in the army who could match.
"This..." Murong Shuqing hesitated. Hearing them talk about this battle today, she knew it was insidious, but the people around her, except for Feng Qixuan's research on this kind of strange technique, seemed to understand no one. , and his ability seems to be insufficient to deal with Cang Yue. There is another person who must be able - Chu Yin, but thinking of his red shirt that dripped with blood and his indifferent eyes, she was not sure to convince him. Murong Shuqing thought for a while, then shook his head and replied, "No. Forgive me for the powerlessness I can do."
As soon as she finished speaking, a sneering voice came immediately, "I'll tell her what a woman knows!" Although she is not as arrogant as before, but she is not a rich lady raised in a boudoir, how can she help? ? I really don't understand what Big Brother Pei is thinking, he keeps looking at her.
"Li Ming!" Xuanyuan Yi and Pei Che's scolding voices made Li Ming even more suffocated. What good is this woman, let them both protect her like this!
Xuanyuan Yi was heartbroken, Murong Shuqing looked tired, but he still sat here, this should be his business, but he dragged her in, holding her cold hands, Xuanyuan Yi helped Murong Shuqing stand up, wanting to take her send it back.
Pei Che looked at Li Ming, who was still sulking, with a headache, can't he calm down? Although he had known Murong Shuqing for so long, he knew that she would not be angry for this trivial matter, but he didn't see Murong Shuqing come over, lightning flashed on Xuanyuan Yi's face! He's going to add fuel to the fire!
Murong Shuqing is funny, she doesn't care about this, but they don't know what kind of beauty she is, it's really unfair. Following Xuanyuan Yi's hand, Murong Shuqing stood up, she should go back to rest early. They just got up, and a veteran in his early fifties who had been sitting next to the door suddenly stood up, hesitant, and finally clasped his fists and said loudly: "Actually, there is a candidate for the last general."
Murong Shuqing looked up and saw that this man had a voice like a Hong Zhong, his face was open, he was not too young, and he could still stay in the army, so he should be a good general. Murong Shuqing stopped, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Li Ming was the most excited, and immediately called out: "Who? General Lei, speak up!"
Pei Che and Xuanyuan Yi looked at each other and looked at Lei Yi together. Lei Yi is a veteran stationed at Linfeng Pass. He knows the terrain, weather, and culture here best. Perhaps, he can really recommend a good talent.
Under the eagerly looking forward eyes of everyone, Lei Yi said loudly, "The owner of the Misty Villa - Lord Shang."
"Mischievous Villa?!" Pei Che thought about it for a while, but he had no clue. This Misty Villa has risen very strangely, that is, it has become famous in the past two or three years, but no one can explain it clearly. The geographical location and style of conduct that do not belong to any one country add to it a sense of mystery.
"General Lei, please elaborate." Pei Che wanted to hear why Lei Yi mentioned this person at this time
Lei Yi no longer hesitated, and said loudly: "Yes. Misty Villa is mainly engaged in some commodity exchange business. In fact, over the years, whether the two countries are at war or at peace, the people of the two countries will exchange some things with each other, but these are small It’s not too big to make a profit. A few years ago, the Misty Mountain Villa suddenly seemed to rise from the ground. At that time, I bought the goods from Cangyue and Dongyu, and started an exchange business of things. Later, it became bigger and bigger. Almost all of the big merchants have contact with this villa, and the local people also love the owner of the merchant because he—"
"General Lei, we are asking you why that Shang Jun can break through the formation. What are you doing with such a bunch of praise!" Li Ming interrupted him impatiently. What is going on with Lei Yi, his usual speech is simple and clear. , why is it so abnormal to this misty villa today
Lei Yi was silent for a while to Li Ming's rude rebuttal, and when he raised his head again, he said with a frank face: "The owner of the business village is not only good at doing business, but also has a lot of research on the Qimen formation. I heard its name, but I couldn't see its shape, just because there are five-element formations around the villa, and without people from the villa to lead the way, ordinary people can't get in at all. If you get his help, you will definitely be able to think of a way to break the formation." Without further ado, he retreated to his last position and sat without looking sideways.
Xuanyuan Yi glanced at Li Ming, who still didn't know what he had done wrong, and sighed helplessly in his heart, it seemed that he was going to teach this stupid boy well. Ignoring him, Xuanyuan Yi said to the mute Lei Yi, "Have you admired this businessman so much, have you seen his ability with your own eyes?" Lei Yi has a straightforward personality and is a veteran for many years, and will never follow suit. . Judging from the admiration on his face when he mentioned the villa owner just now, there must be some origin.
When the general asked a question in person, Lei Yi had no choice but to answer. He stood up again and replied, "It's fortunate that the general was fortunate to have been rescued by the owner of the Shangzhuang when he was injured in collecting medicine two years ago. Later, as a thank you, he went to the Misty Mountain Villa once, but unfortunately he didn't get it. After entering through his door, he was trapped in the formation for two full days before being invited out by them."
"That said, Shang Jun is indeed a bit capable, so I will ask him to help immediately." Hearing what he said, Li Ming also felt that it was reasonable. He seemed to be reckless just now. Shouldn't have interrupted him like that. Li Ming stood up and was about to rush out.
Pei Che said unhurriedly: "If it was so easy, General Lei would not have said it until now."
"What do you mean?" Li Ming was puzzled, stopped and looked at Lei Yi blankly.
Lei Yi nodded solemnly and said: "What the strategist said is exactly what he will say in the end. The owner of the business village rarely receives outsiders. It is said that he is a business partner. There are very few people in the villa owner. The villa is located in the east corner of Cang Yue. He has always only done business and never asked about political matters between the two countries. Therefore, it is not easy to meet him, let alone Ask him to break out."
This Misty Villa is really a big shelf. After discussing it for a day, there is finally a solution. How can it be so easy to give up? Li Ming's bull temper came up again, and he shouted loudly: "It's really not good, we will forcefully enter the Misty Mountain Villa, I don't believe that we won't be able to see that businessman."
Pei Che shook his head amusingly, and said with a smile, "If we can break into the villa casually, then we don't have to bother to invite any villa owners."
If it is said that merchants from various countries have business dealings with the Misty Mountain Villa, then one person may be able to meet the merchant. Pei Che whispered to Murong Shuqing who was standing by the door, "Shu Qing..."
Murong Shuqing ignored him. Pei Che took a closer look and saw Murong Shuqing looking at the ground under her feet thoughtfully, as if she didn't notice someone calling her. Pei Che tentatively called again, "Shu Qing."
Xuanyuan Yi was also very strange. Ever since Lei Yi spoke, she had been in a trance. Xuanyuan Yi was about to ask the military doctor to check if she was feeling unwell, but Murong Shuqing came back to his senses and looked up to see that everyone was looking at her without making a sound. , and asked embarrassedly: "I didn't hear it just now, what's the matter?"
Something was wrong with her tonight, Xuanyuan Yi picked up the cloak, hugged her body lightly, felt her frail body, and said, "You are too tired, I'll help you go back to rest first."
Murong Shuqing shook his head with a smile, held Xuanyuan Yi's hand that was about to put on a cloak for her, and said with a smile, "I'm fine, Pei Che, what did you just say?"
"I want to ask you, do you have any business dealings with the people in Misty Mountain Villa?" Pei Che also looked at Murong Shuqing worriedly. If her wounds split or fainted due to tonight's exhaustion, Xuanyuan Yi must He looks good, but fortunately she seems to be in good spirits.
Murong Shuqing thought for a while and replied, "There are some."
"Then have you met Mr. Shang?"
Murong Shuqing nodded with a smile, and replied cheerfully, "I have seen it."
"How is this person?" Pei Che wanted to hear what she would say about Shang Jun.
Murong Shuqing replied word by word, slowly and clearly: "Fengshen is handsome, resourceful and talented, and he is one of the people Shu Qing admires."
The undisguised praise made Pei Che lightly raise his eyebrows, this was the first time he heard Murong Shuqing praise someone so unreservedly, he couldn't help but smile: "Oh? Even Shu Qing is full of praise. I'm curious about the characters." At the same time, Pei Che did not forget to admire Xuanyuan Yi's expression, although the cool face remained unchanged, but the anger flowing in his eyes could not be concealed from his eyes.
Xuanyuan Yi slightly tightened the strength in his hands, and put on a cloak for Murong Shuqing. He didn't want her to go on, he hugged Murong Shuqing lightly, and said to Pei Che, "Since this person is so good, I will send you a greeting tomorrow, and then Talk to him in detail."
"Let's go." After he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Yi used his cloak to embrace Murong Shuqing in his arms without waiting for everyone to react, and walked out of the main tent.
The people in the tent haven't recovered yet, but Pei Che is laughing for no reason.
After leaving the camp, Murong Shuqing immediately shivered. It was getting colder as the night went on. Although he was wearing many layers of clothes, the wind was still piercing. Feeling that Murong Shuqing was trembling all the time, Xuanyuan Yi put one hand on her waist, pulled her into his arms with force, and helped her put on the hat with the other, almost wrapping her in a cloak and holding her in his arms. Murong Shuqing rested his head on Xuanyuan Yi's shoulder, only to feel that Xuanyuan Yi was moving forward at a very fast speed, she was well wrapped in the cloak, and the cold wind couldn't blow her face. She couldn't feel the temperature of Xuanyuan Yi's body through the heavy winter clothes, but the strong hands around her waist held her firmly in her arms.
The distance was not long, and with Xuanyuan Yi's light work, they soon returned to Murong Shuqing's camp. Xuanyuan Yi helped Murong Shuqing pull up the cloak, but did not send her in, he only said, "Get some rest." Then he turned and left.
When Murong Shuqing was about to return to the account, Xuanyuan Yi's voice suddenly came from behind him, "Are you familiar with him?"
Murong Shuqing was startled and turned around to see Xuanyuan Yi looking at her four or five meters away from her. She asked tentatively, "Shangjun?" The "he" he said should be Shangjun. Xuanyuan Yi didn't answer either, and still stared at him with those deep, sea-like eyes, Murong Shuqing nodded and replied, "It's okay."
After a long time, when Murong Shuqing thought he didn't intend to speak any more, Xuanyuan Yi asked in a low voice, "Is he really that good in your heart?"
Murong Shuqing was taken aback for a moment, how should she answer this? The snow was getting smaller and smaller, and occasionally a few mischievous snowflakes swayed between the two. Murong Shuqing thought for a while and was about to speak, but Xuanyuan Yi moved faster than her, turning around and quickly leaving Murong Shuqing's sight.
