They returned to the camp, and all afternoon, You Miao stared at the map without speaking. The plan he is going to carry out is extremely dangerous - not only to take Li Yan and others to escape, but also to take away their family members. You Miao looked at the map, but Li Zhifeng kept looking at him. You Miao carefully analyzed the possible escape routes, and marked the shift time of the soldiers.
"Who taught you to steal horses?" Li Zhifeng asked unexpectedly.
"Ah?" You Miao thought for a while, then laughed.
Li Zhifeng said, "You are not the same as before."
You Miao frowned slightly and said, "Why is it different?"
Li Zhifeng didn't speak, he shook his head, You Miao lowered his head and looked at the map attentively, but at this time he couldn't stand it anymore, and the words of Li Zhifeng kept lingering in his mind. He stared absently for a while, then looked up at Li Zhifeng, who raised his eyebrows slightly at him.
When they were in Jiangbo Villa, they were like this. You Miao lowered her head to read, and Li Zhifeng watched You Miao read. Everything was very natural at that time, but after half a year, You Miao gradually felt a little strange. It was as if Li Zhifeng's eyes were real, and his heart thumped as he watched him.
Where is it different? You Miao couldn't help but ask herself in the bottom of her heart.
They used to be like this, and suddenly Youmiao vaguely understood something, and that sentence was talking about Youmiao himself—in the years when he and Li Zhifeng first met, Youmiao might not be able to steal horses. Save people and so on. After changing his self four years ago, You Miao was arrested in Da'an City, what would he do? Waiting for Li Zhifeng to come to rescue, and the two escaped together, even if they escaped.
And now he is indeed not the same as before. Thinking about it carefully, this was not what Li Zhifeng taught him. You Miao thought about Li Zhifeng's question about stealing a horse, and he understood the deep meaning of his words.
Li Zhifeng spoke very little, but every sentence had a special meaning.
Yes, this kind of thing was taught to him by Zhao Chao, and what he has learned from Zhao Chao over the years may be that brazen courage.
"It's different from before, is it good or bad?" You Miao raised her eyes to look at Li Zhifeng's eyes.
Li Zhifeng replied, "Okay, I've grown up."
You Miao smiled and nodded.
In the next time, neither of them talked. Dinner was served with boiled mutton, cumin scones and milk tea. Li Zhifeng served You Miao and ate it. You Miao ate slowly. Miao tore open the scones, and Youmiao looked at him intently, knowing that maybe after tonight, they would be separated forever.
The tent was very quiet, only the sound of You Miao chewing. Li Zhifeng never made eye contact with him, eating and eating. You Miao's sniffling voice was low, but clearly audible. His eyes were flushed with tears, but Li Zhifeng did not open his mouth to comfort him, nor did he hold him in his arms as before.
The taste in You Miao's throat was full of bitterness. He put the dough into his mouth intermittently, crying so much that his whole body trembled, but he couldn't stop crying.
"Don't eat." You Miao said choked.
Li Zhifeng nodded silently, gulps down the scones and mutton, and You Miao took off the jade pendant left to him by his mother from his neck. Li Zhifeng gave it back to You Miao during the imperial examination. On the day of the country's breaking, You Miao was captured and the jade pendant was lost. However, the day Li Zhifeng rescued him, the jade pendant returned to You Miao's body.
You Miao tied the jade pendant to Li Zhifeng's wrist, Li Zhifeng turned his head, and held You Miao's finger with one hand, but You Miao held Li Zhifeng's hand and pulled his finger away, saying, "You are going to save people, I am afraid of you. dangerous."
Li Zhifeng's eyes were red, but You Miao didn't wait for him to refuse or answer, and got up and left the tent.
The north wind blew, and it got dark very early. You Miao took a few steps outside, and Li Zhifeng chased after him silently. The biting cold wind made You Miao's teeth tremble. Front.
After walking a long distance in tandem, You Miao chose the places where there were few patrolling soldiers. Li Zhifeng was dressed in luxurious clothes. The occasional Tatar soldiers who passed by realized that his identity was unusual, so they all saluted him. You Miao went up the hillside, Li Zhifeng put on his clothes and came to a mansion.
Thorn was hugging a woman, biting and kissing, Li Zhifeng entered, and You Miao stood in the yard waiting. After a while, Li Yan, in ragged clothes, was taken out by two soldiers and thrown on the ground. Li Zhifeng walked out with his hands behind his back, standing tall in the courtyard.
The inner flower thorn laughed, and a Chinese translator who was proficient in Tatar dialect respectfully said to Li Zhifeng: "The general said, since this fellow has offended His Highness, it is better to kill him here. General He Motie'er is my home. The general will go and talk about it."
The flower thorn gave an order, and the soldiers outside raised their sticks, went down with a stick, beat Li Yan with a groan, and kept dodging.
Huathorn said something interesting, and the Chinese translator added: "My general invited His Royal Highness Sanado to come and have a drink."
Li Zhifeng said indifferently, "No, I've already disturbed the general by coming here rashly. I'll just watch this fight with my own eyes."
The two soldiers hit Li Yan over and over again as if they were kicking a ball. Li Yan was in the early fashion and shielded his head with his hands to avoid it. When he was hit on the head with a stick, his eyes were filled with gold stars, and he couldn't even hum, like a dead dog. The ground fell to the ground, and the soldier's stick went down again. Li Yan first vomited a pile of dinner, and then began to vomit yellow bile water.
You Miao couldn't bear to see it, and when he looked up at Li Zhifeng, he saw Huathorn came out with a woman in his arms. Huathorn was wearing a robe loosely, his muscles were tangled, and his chest was covered with black hair, and Li Yan was in his arms. Wife Tang.
"Wait a minute." Li Zhifeng said.
Li Yan twitched and crawled in the courtyard.
With tears in Tang's eyes, she turned her head and couldn't bear to look at it any longer, but the thorns grabbed her chin and forced her to turn her head to see how Li Yan was beaten.
Li Zhifeng pondered for a moment, then said, "I want to take away this person's lesson, so as not to defile the general's courtyard."
The flower thorn was silent, noticing Tang Shi's expression, and she looked like she was hesitant to speak. Li Zhifeng thought about it for a long time, and said a Tatar word intermittently, Huatb smiled knowingly, raised his hand in disdain, and motioned for Li Zhifeng to lead it.
Li Zhifeng nodded, put his hands on his back, and walked out of the General's Mansion. You Miao's heart fell to the ground, and he hurriedly hugged Li Yan and took him out.
There were two Tartar soldiers guarding the horses in front of the small stables outside the city. The military horses were all in the rear of the camp and could not be placed on the edge of the city. The horses here were only set up for the communication of soldiers, and they were all short-distance horses. You Miao was waiting on the slope, Li Yan was panting, her hair was covered with snow and ice, she shivered and grabbed You Miao's sleeve, her lips trembling.
"What?" You Miao said, "Li Yan? Li Yan!"
"Save... your sister-in-law." Li Yan said weakly in You Miao's ear: "leave me alone, save her back..."
"It can't be saved." You Miao replied in a low voice, "You have seen the situation, you can't save her."
