Han Sa and Bian Ding retracted the steps they had just taken. They stood up straight, looked at each other, and laughed awkwardly to cover up.
Han Sa put on a flattering face and said to the raven: "It's just a joke. We have a good relationship."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Bian Ding, rolled his eyes from an angle invisible to the raven, and asked, "Really?"
Bian Ding patted his back heavily, then hugged his shoulders and squeezed hard, and gritted his teeth and agreed: "That's natural, natural."
The two of them just turned around, shouting in secret, and walked away in tacit agreement, getting further and further away from the raven.
After the army rested for a night, the dew had not dispersed in the morning, and when the birds were chirping, Han Sa and Su Qian'an had already greeted the soldiers to break camp and set off.
Xia Chu fell asleep in Xiao Mubai's arms at some unknown time last night, and was awakened by the sound of searching around him.
When he opened his eyes again, the sky outside the tent was already white with fish belly. He quickly got up and went to fetch water to wash up.
Someone in the tent had already prepared some water, and he poured it on his face, making his cheeks and eyelashes wet.
The curtain was suddenly opened, and the first ray of morning light came in. When Xia Chu turned around, the morning glow reflected on the water drops, which was extremely crystal clear. Under the eyelashes moistened by water, the eyes were as moving as water waves.
Xiao Mubai seemed to be dazzled by the brilliance of the stars, and was stunned for a moment without saying anything.
He was covered in backlight, and Xia Chu couldn't make out his expression clearly. Seeing that he was silent, he was the first to ask, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Mubai came back to his senses, lowered his eyes and said, "Who dares to tell you to get up except me."
Xia Chu laughed out loud and said: "How could I be so pretentious when I was sleeping in the open air? Last year, when I was rushing to help Han Yang with you, we didn't always sleep against a tree."
Xiao Mubai took two steps forward, picked up the white towel and wiped the wet drops on his face: "I didn't know you were a woman at that time."
Xia Chu curled her lips: "You had a bad face at that time, and your words were cold, and you always turned away and ignored people. Even if you knew that I was a woman, you might not have pity on me... "
Before Xia Chu finished speaking, no matter how dull he was, he felt that the hand he was wiping his face stiffened at first, and then stopped.
Xia Chu didn't even dare to look him in the eye anymore, she stopped silently, took the white towel in his hand and wiped it randomly twice, then asked as if unintentionally: "Look at my disguise. without?"
Because the face he was wearing now made Xiao Mubai feel a strange flame burning in his heart.
Xia Chu complained that he used to have a bad face, cold words, and would always get rid of him. However, Xia Chu's attitude towards him was not easy at that time. He always spoke with a gun and a stick, and was wary of everything.
However, when he was not by his side, he had a fierce fight with the soldiers of the Zhao family army, and even got along well with the cook in the kitchen of King Mo's camp.
He had also heard about changing glasses among the men, and could even imagine him and the soldiers calling each other brothers, chatting over wine and laughing wantonly.
"No!" Xiao Mubai gritted his teeth and dropped the two words before leaving the tent.
Xia Chu hurriedly chased after him, muttering in his heart that this virtue seemed to have returned to this time last year.
When Su Qian'an saw him getting up, she also started to pack up the tent where he lived, and in just one stick of incense, the whole army was ready to set off.
When Xia Chu chased him out, Xiao Mubai had already climbed onto the back of Zanghong's horse. He was standing on the horse and leaning against the wind. The rustling morning wind blew his black clothes, and he was still tall and elegant even when he was sitting on the horse's back.
Chi Yi had already been led out and was rubbing his neck with Zang Hong. When Xia Chu walked over, Chi Yi happily turned his horse's head and came up to him when he saw his figure. He turned his head and rubbed his body. , extremely intimate. This provoked Zanghong and gave him a loud and dissatisfied snort...
Xia Chu got on his horse and rode alongside him.
Because there were infantry in the army, they went on the road without riding horses last night. It seemed that Xiao Mubai planned to advance the cavalry first, and the infantry would slowly follow.
No matter this, the earlier we arrive at the closed dock, the earlier we can feel at ease.
The official road to Fengwu is a traffic fortress, so it is extremely wide.
Zang Hong and Na Blazing Wings are rare horses, and the horses of Raven and others cannot catch up and have already fallen behind.
Only they, one behind the other, galloped together.
On one side of the road are endless green mountains, on the other side is the meandering river, and people living near the mountains and rivers sporadically live beside the road.
The previous war between the Mongolian Army and the Shi Jiajun did not really spread here, and the whole family could still be seen enjoying themselves.
In scattered small courtyards, the branches extending out are covered with small fruits.
Plums, pears, grapefruits, you name it.
Along the way, red, purple, yellow and blue wildflowers are all over the roadside, colorfully dotted among the green leaves, and the oncoming wind is filled with a faint sweet fragrance.
Zanghong, one of the two riding Juechen, was slowed down by Xiao Mubai, and Blazing Wings also slowed down.
On this road with bright colors and warm fragrance, the two horses rode side by side, rubbing their necks from time to time, causing Xiao Mubai and Xia Chu to approach and separate again and again.
Afraid that Han Sa and others would fall too far, Xiao Mubai reined in his horse and stood on the edge of the cliff.
Xia Chu looked at the sky with him in the distance, and said in a warm voice: "I'm still angry."
The wind is flying in the distance, and the white clouds like waves are sweeping across thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. The sunlight in the sky is changing, and it is cloudy and clear, and it is flowing uncertainly on the land ahead.
Previously, the blood in the account was just a little stirred by Xia Chuyi, and all the old jealousy had already dissipated.
"I just suddenly didn't want to reveal the truth again." Xiao Mubai lowered his eyes slightly, with a hint of panic in his expression that Xia Chu couldn't understand.
He knew that the masked man was there, and the closer he got to the closed dock, the closer he got.
In the closed city, what would be waiting for him to uncover the bloody past
Countless thoughts were going through Xiao Mubai's mind, and they were crowded in and out of his mind, making him unable to discard them and unable to see them clearly.
Previously, he could put this matter on hold because of the war on the border.
The night before leaving Beijing, the long-delayed resolution was finally inevitable. Countless memories suddenly came flooding back, was it him
How could it be him
But if not, who could it be with his martial arts skills, body shape and taste
Xia Chu looked at him with a gloomy expression, and his usually cold and hard face was covered with a layer of confused struggle. He was puzzled by Xiao Mubai's sudden vulnerability.
Even if it is the truth, it will only be known after returning to the capital and staying in the imperial city to ask the emperor himself.
Zanghong and Chiyi walked slowly towards each other on wild flowers.
Xia Chu also reached out to hold his rein-holding hand and said softly: "Look at these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, no matter where you are, I will always be by your side."
