My... eyes are hot.
Gu Yuanbai was about to look away, but suddenly saw the wound on Xue Yuan's waist. It was a horribly scarred stab wound, and even now it looks like it was so severe that it was almost fatal.
"How did this happen?" Gu Yuanbai frowned, wondering what kind of encounter would cause the protagonist in the text to suffer such a fatal injury.
"I'm born like this," Xue Yuan frowned, "I'm a rude person, and I can't compare to a saint."
Gu Yuanbai's eyebrows beat, "I'm talking about the injury on your waist!"
Xue Yuan's face suddenly turned cold, he put up his trousers in silence, and was about to turn around to pick up firewood with the guards.
Gu Yuanbai said sternly, "Come back to me!"
Xue Yuan paused, stopped for a while, then turned around and faced Gu Yuanbai again.
The peaks of his eyebrows were pressed down, his eyes were cloudy, and the dark mist covered the look in his eyes, but everyone could tell that he was in a very bad mood at this time.
It was like an oil barrel that was fried at one point, still pressing it away from Gu Yuanbai, for fear of hurting the saint.
The reprimand that was about to burst out of his throat was suppressed by Gu Yuanbai, he snorted coldly, and said, "Aren't you going to heal me?"
The expression in Xue Yuan's eyes changed a bit, and finally he stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Where is Sheng Shang hurt?"
Earlier, he begged Gu Yuanbai to let him take a look, but when he mentioned the injury on his waist, this mad dog is now gone.
Gu Yuanbai said displeasedly, "Between the left calf."
Xue Yuan lowered his head, knelt on one knee on the ground, lifted Gu Yuanbai's left leg, and tightened his bare feet.
Gu Yuanbai was wearing a big red shirt today. If he was injured and bleeding, it would be hard to tell from the outside. Gu Yuanbai just felt that this place was a little painful. When Xue Yuan exposed his left leg and calf, he looked at it and it turned out that a hole had really been drawn.
It should have been inadvertently scratched by branches and leaves or immediately accessories. Xue Yuan saw the wound, his face sank, and his men were more gentle. He took out the medicine bottle that was not used up last time from his arms, and after cleaning the wound, he gave Gu Yuanbai medicine.
He was extremely serious, and the hand wiping the medicine did not shake at all. He was afraid that Gu Yuanbai would pull his leg back due to the pain, so he freed up one hand to firmly grasp Gu Yuanbai's ankle.
His palms were as hot as fire.
Gu Yuanbai glanced at the wound lightly, "Xue Jiuyao, I ask you, what did you just turn around and walk away?"
Xue Yuan said, "Sir, Master Zhang and the others are back."
Gu Yuanbai looked up, and in just a blink of an eye, Xue Yuan had already retreated, and he personally prepared to ignite the wet wood that had been soaked with rain.
After a while, the head guard came over with a wet handkerchief, and explained warmly, "Sir, Master Xue said that once these wet woods are ignited, there will be a lot of smoke, and I'd better cover them with a wet handkerchief in case they are choking you. Mouth and nose are fine."
Gu Yuanbai took the wet handkerchief, glanced at Xue Yuan's background, and the head guard followed his gaze. Even if he didn't like Xue Yuan, the loyal and reliable captain of the guard said, "Master Xue knows a lot."
Gu Yuanbai covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and finally said, "You need to learn more good things from him."
Zhang Xu's face twisted, and he almost wanted to say that there is still something good on Xue Weiwei? But because it was the sage who said this, he just thought that he was ignoring the advantages of Xue Yuan because of prejudice, so he nodded and said, "This minister will listen to what the sage has to say."
Gu Yuanbai nodded lightly.
After the fire was lit, the smoke in the cave slowly dissipated.
Gu Yuanbai was sitting by the fire, and the firelight reflected his face. Xue Yuan was unusually silent at this meeting, and he fiddled with the fire attentively on the side.
Gu Yuanbai said: "Xuewei, I want to ask you a few questions."
Xue Yuan glanced at him out of the corner of the eye, and the warm light jumped on the little emperor, his face was slightly red from the fire, and it was as tender as tofu. He unconsciously softened his tone, "What does the sage want to ask?"
Gu Yuanbai said: "Ask your army's quartermasters, your army's soldiers, new and old soldiers, and those wounded veterans."
Gu Yuanbai naturally understood these issues, but when looking at these issues from another angle, there might be a different harvest.
Xue Yuan was very familiar with these things, so he opened his mouth and said everything. Which ones are okay, which ones are sneering, and there are some thoughts that actually overlap with Gu Yuanbai's thoughts.
Gu Yuanbai raised his brows, looked at him with a smile, and said, after he finished talking about the military assignment and the friction between the new and veteran soldiers, Gu Yuanbai repeated the question he most wanted to know: "What about the wounded veterans? "
Xue Yuan said with a smile but not a smile: "Your Majesty, they will be miserable."
"Those who are lightly injured don't need to waste the medicine, they can get through it by themselves. Those who are seriously injured don't need to waste the medicine, they just wait to die. Those who have broken legs and no hands, because they can't go on the battlefield and can't hold big knives and spears, they don't have any healing at all. necessary."
Xue Yuan's eyes were indifferent, and he didn't forget to turn his head to the surrounding guards who were listening to him, showing a grinning smile, "It's really a good way to save medicinal materials, isn't it?"
The guards had complicated expressions, and they could see that what Xue Yuan said was ironic.
But such a scene, no matter how much it is said, is not as powerful as seeing it in person. It's just that Xue Yuan has personally experienced the battlefield, so when he says this, he is born with a three-point convincing aura.
Gu Yuanbai asked again: "How did your waist injury come from?"
Xue Yuan looked at him slowly, and curled his lips, "Does the sage really want to know?"
His expression was wrong, like a large beast about to explode.
Gu Yuanbai nodded.
Xue Yuan suddenly burst out and pushed Gu Yuanbai to the ground like a wolf. He put his hands on the side of Gu Yuanbai's head, his eyes were red, and the whole person blocked a dark shadow on Gu Yuanbai's body, "Holy, do you know the two-legged sheep?"
"Your Majesty!" The guards stood up abruptly, took out their sabers and pointed them at Xue Yuan, surrounding the two of them in the middle, "Xue Yuan, let go of Your Majesty!"
The mad dog really went crazy and looked terrifying, but it was so heavy, but Gu Yuanbai didn't feel much pain.
Xue Yuan probably didn't even notice it, his movements when he knocked Gu Yuanbai down to the ground unconsciously relaxed a lot.
Gu Yuanbai: "What is a two-legged sheep?"
"On the battlefield, the side that loses the battle will be plundered," Xue Yuan grinned and said gloomily, "When there is no food, they treat the women as animals, as food, as military prostitutes, and carry them with them. Call it a two-legged sheep. Those nomads also divide these women into three, six, nine, and so on, and the food is also cooked in different ways. Holy, the beautiful ones will be placed in a jar and slowly cooked with a small fire. , which is the preferential treatment they treat beautiful women.”1
The blue veins on Xue Yuan's neck were stretched out of anger, and he pressed, "We guard at the border, we want to kill these nomads. But no matter how many times you talk to the court, the court won't allow us to go to war! Drive them away! How many times can you drive them away? If you don’t kill them, you still don’t know how powerful they are! If you want military salaries, the army will not pay them, and if you want food, the court will not give them, and the weapons are fucking dull!
Xue Yuan sneered, "I saw that group of nomads coming again that day, so they guarded the people's homes in advance. They were afraid, and they didn't fight when they saw us stationed at the border every day. They thought we were with the nomads. We just Appearing in front of their door, they thought we were going to take away their girls and eat them, and the old woman with white hair rushed out with a kitchen knife, and was subconsciously slashed by her soldiers."
"This confirms the fact that our group of officers and soldiers are cowards," Xue Yuan lowered his head and sprayed his hot breath on Gu Yuanbai's face, "They rioted. The rioting people either died or they killed us. The army suppressed the riots and didn't want to kill them, but they tried their best to kill us. I was injured by a big ass boy with a knife."
There was silence in the cave, only Xue Yuan's heavy breathing could be heard.
"But it's also thanks to them that they rioted," Xue Yuan suddenly grinned. "We were able to continue to live after stealing the food from this group of dead people."
Someone among the guards said angrily: "How can you—"
Xue Yuan turned his head and glanced at them fiercely, and the speaker couldn't help but shut his mouth.
"The sage has asked the minister so many questions, and the minister also wants to ask the sage one thing," Xue Yuan looked down at Gu Yuanbai, looking directly at the delicate little emperor who was completely different from him, and stretched out a hand to raise it Lifting the little emperor's chin, he had to control his strength, so he began to tremble: "Sir, what were you doing at that time?"
Sheng Shang frowned slightly and said, "Xue Yuan, I can't bear the pain."
Xue Yuan's hands trembled violently.
He looked at Gu Yuanbai stiffly, as if he had suffered a major shock, his madness completely dissipated. He slowly got off the little emperor, then pulled up Gu Yuanbai, and said dumbly, "Where does it hurt?"
Crazy, Xue Yuan felt that he was crazy.
Gu Yuanbai said the words "I can't bear the pain", and in an instant, the resentment that had just risen in Xue Yuan's heart was dispelled.
The pain of recalling the last moment came to an abrupt end, and the hatred for the ruler and the resentment for those who wanted to eat his flesh and blood calmed down again. The new anger and ruthlessness that had arisen because of these things also seemed to be suddenly quenched by cold water.
Gu Yuanbai sat up, his hair was stained with dust on the ground, and the fingerprints on his chin were clearly visible. Xue Yuan looked at the fingerprints he made, and the evil in his eyes turned towards himself.
Xue Jiuyao, don't you know that he is weak
Xue Yuan raised his hand and gave himself a slap.
Thinking about it again, you are finished, Xue Yuan.
The hatred and grievances that were so heavy just now can't be pursued any longer.
Gu Yuanbai slowed down, in fact there was not much pain, Xue Yuan unconsciously protected him. He said this just to see that Xue Yuan was going crazy, so he reminded him.
I just didn't expect it to work so well.
It's so good... It's beyond Gu Yuanbai's expectations.
Gu Yuanbai breathed out a breath, then turned to his side, just as Xue Yuan had done to him just now, he also pinched Xue Yuan's chin, twisted his face, and made him look directly at himself.
The flames jumped, and the people around didn't dare to say a word. In the sound of breathing, the sound of the other party's breathing was even more scorching than his own.
"Since I'm here and in power, what you said will never happen again," Gu Yuanbai said lightly, "Xuewei, do you believe me?"
Xue Yuan looked up at Gu Yuanbai, and before he could speak, he heard a strange voice.
The sound was thumping and jumping, as if it was still coming from the chest.
