The hand holding her was a little cold, and the fingertips felt soft, and the woman couldn't tell what kind of feeling she was feeling in her heart. Vertex Novel Updates Fastest
When she was stopped by the soldiers just now, her heart was already ashamed.
The hand of the person in front of her was very comfortable, just like the feeling when her adoptive father held her when he bought her back then, it made her feel at ease.
The mist exhaled from her mouth spread out on the side of her face, through the messy hair, she secretly looked at the person in front of her.
Slowly lowering her eyes again, when she met this person at this time, she could only cause trouble for him.
"I don't know what your name is, girl?"
Gu Nan walked ahead and asked, in fact, she already had a guess in her heart, just looking at the way she was stopped by the soldiers just now, anyone can see the problem.
"Diao." The woman hesitated to speak, and then said: "Diao Xiuer."
"En." Gu Nan responded without asking any further questions, only pretending that her name was Diao Xiu'er, and said with a light smile.
"You can call me Gu Nan. The inspections in the city are tight these days, and it is difficult for you to get out of the city gate alone. But don't worry, I will return to Qingzhou in a few days and will take you out of the city. Then you can leave, if you want to go Anywhere."
"Well, good." Diao Xiu'er nodded, she knew that she should leave too, but she unconsciously clenched her hand a little tighter.
The two walked all the way back to the barracks.
Seeing the soldiers coming and going, the woman hid behind Gu Nan again.
Gu Nan also lived in the barracks, but it was different from ordinary soldiers. At least her barracks had two rooms, and there was a small courtyard in front of the house, which was used for water tanks and other things.
Lingqi was sitting in the yard with her sword in her arms, her eyes closed, and it was time for her to participate in the sword.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, he lightly opened his eyes, seeing that it was Gu Nan who came back, a little joy flashed in his eyes.
The girl grew up earlier than the boy, and during the year in the military camp, she grew a lot, and now she is only half a head shorter than Gu Nan. (The last time a reader asked, here is the answer. Gu Nan's height is about 1.7 meters, as mentioned before.)
His temperament is also a bit more sassy, but his temper is even more dull. There is no way to do this, after all, he has seen life and death.
"Master, you are back." Lingqi stood up and tied the long sword back to her waist.
Looking up, I saw that there was another person behind Gu Nan, and the first impression I saw was a desolate woman.
But soon, she discovered that this woman should just be pretending.
"this is?"
Make a sound in doubt.
"This girl is called Diao Xiu'er." Gu Nan led the girl into the courtyard and explained to Lingqi.
"I met her on the road, and I was going to go out of the city to join my relatives, but it's not easy to go out of the city now, so I plan to take her out of the city together in a few days."
When they reached the place, Gu Nan let go of Diao Xiu'er's hand.
Diao Xiu'er felt her hand loosen, and slowly put it down.
Lingqi looked at her, although she still had some doubts in her heart, she didn't show it, and saluted with her sword in her arms.
"Meet the girl."
The person in front of him is a heroic female general. If it weren't for the conversation between them, no one would think that she would be the disciple of this weak-looking Mr. Baiyi.
Diao Xiu'er bowed and said, "I have seen the general."
"She's not a general yet, she's just a guard beside me." Gu Nan patted Lingqi's head with a smile.
"Master, master."
Lingqi, who was still looking heroic, suddenly blushed. Before outsiders, the master didn't know how to restrain himself.
"Hahaha." Gu Nan's laughter came from the yard.
The soldiers brought dinner at night, of course the food in the barracks would not be good, but Diao Xiu'er must have been hungry for a long time, she didn't care about the taste at all, and ate it all voraciously.
As for the accommodation, Gu Nan asked Diao Xiu'er to share a room with Lingqi first, since she couldn't live with her after all.
"Huh, huh, huh."
Lingqi took the wooden basin and filled the tank with water.
The water flowed down from the edge of the tub, the water was blue and white with moonlight, and rippled, making the already cold night seem a bit cooler.
Gu Nan went back to the house earlier, Lingqi glanced at Gu Nan's room, the lights in the room were dimmed, presumably she had already turned off the lights and fell asleep.
She carried the wooden basin filled with water and walked back to her room.
Diao Xiu'er sat on the edge of the bed and looked out the door, thinking about something.
She wanted to take a look at the appearance of Mr. Bai Yi.
She doesn't think about anything, no matter how beautiful or ugly she is, as long as she takes a look at it, she wants to write it down. (See Chapter 365 for details)
"Squeak." The sound of pushing the door sounded, and Lingqi came in from outside holding the water basin.
"Girl, wash your face."
With that said, Lingqi handed Diao Xiuer a piece of cloth on the tub.
"Thank you General."
Diao Xiu'er thanked her, brushed her hair away from her face, and wiped her face with a cloth.
The plaster on her face was wiped off by the water, revealing her original face. Even though she was wearing shabby clothes, she was still so beautiful, her brows were spring-like, and her lips were lightly parted. No matter which man saw her, he would probably Fantasies.
Lingqi didn't seem to be surprised. After Diao Xiu'er finished washing her face, she took the cloth from her hand and put it back in the basin.
"I don't care why you dress up like this, but if I find out that you have any bad intentions for the master, I will never forgive you."
Diao Xiu'er bowed her head and replied: "General, don't worry, I will leave when I leave the city."
"That's good." Putting the tub aside, Lingqi untied her armor and lay down on the bed.
"Go to sleep."
The bed is not too big, but there is still some room for Lingqi and Diao Xiu'er lying together.
Lingqi lay with her eyes closed, seemingly asleep. But if you look closely, you will find that her left hand has been placed on the sword at her waist.
Diao Xiu'er lay sideways on the other side of the bed. She didn't feel sleepy, so she called softly for a while.
"General?"
After a while, the person next to her asked.
"What's wrong?"
"General and Mr. Gu." Diao Xiu'er looked at the khaki wall: "How did we meet?"
Lingqi's eyes opened, and the room was silent for a moment.
"About a few years ago, when I was a little beggar on the street and was about to starve to death, the master picked me up."
She finished speaking briefly in a light tone, and did not continue.
There was a chuckle from behind.
"What are you laughing at?" Lingqi frowned slightly.
Diao Xiu'er covered her mouth, smiled and whispered, "Mr. Gu, it seems that he likes to do such things."
Because she was the same way, when she was desperate, she was picked up.
"Staying by Mr. Gu's side, I don't know why, but I always feel at ease."
She turned around and smiled slightly at Lingqi's back.
In his eyes, there was a blur.
"If only I could be like you, I would have met him earlier. In this troubled world, I can find a place where I can feel at ease."
When Lingqi turned her head to look at her, she was breathing evenly, and she was already in a deep sleep.
There was a slight smile on his face, and the corners of his eyes were moist.
Lingqi paused, stretched out her hand, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
He closed his eyes and fell asleep too.
