Jiaohua

This night was not so painful, and Shen Lie was even more caring. Xia Zhaoyi was taken care of by him, and her body and mind were completely entangled with him.

After two times, I fell into a deep sleep.

At dawn, the two of them were half awake and half asleep again. She looked at him from above, trying to take the initiative.

The next day, she was awakened by Shen Lie's kiss. Before she fully opened her eyes, she had already cooperated with him again.

After Shen Lie kissed her goodbye and left, Xia Zhaoyi remained lying on her side and looked at the closed door.

She was sure that the hot spring mentioned at the beginning could not be visited again.

The scene was too exciting, and she and Shen Lie were at the age of full of vigor and vitality, so they were afraid that things might get out of control.

She slept for half an hour longer and then went downstairs to continue to the wounded soldiers’ camp.

As soon as we arrived at the wounded camp, another batch of wounded soldiers were sent in.

This group was seriously injured, but they were very excited and everyone was in high spirits.

After seeing her, everyone wanted to struggle to get up and share with her the two great victories that Sun Congli had just won.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "Okay, you guys lie down first and talk slowly."

It's a good thing for an army to have such morale.

There was still no news from Master and the others, so Xia Zhaoyi waited until noon and was completely sure that they had caught up with Chongmen Heng.

In the afternoon, I received a letter from Ouyang Jun to Sun Congli.

Xia Zhaoyi never opened other people's letters privately, but the envelope was marked as a military official letter, so she opened it directly.

Ouyang Jun said that Yi Shurong was preparing for war and had gathered at least 150,000 troops to attack Longchang and Juezhou in February.

The border between Longchang and Juezhou facing the northwest is very short, not as long as Zhitu.

The land area of ​​Longchang is very small, sandwiched between several major provinces, like a long chopstick placed at an angle, with only the head at one end of the chopstick exposed.

To the south of Juezhou is Panyu, which is located on a plateau and surrounded by mountains. The largest mountain ranges in Panyu extend to Juezhou, forming a natural barrier for Juezhou.

But that’s only half the story.

The other half is spacious and open, forming a flat plain with the tip of the chopsticks sticking out of Long Chang's head.

If Yi Shurong wants to attack Longchang and Juezhou, he can only do so from this area.

This place was also called the "Southeast Front" by the Northern Yuan people.

However, this is not easy for Yi Shurong, because almost all the main forces of the Han army are deployed there.

Even though the dragon has a pointed head, its smallness is only a visual effect on the map.

If you really want to walk the whole way with your feet or with horse hooves, you still have to do it in days.

After reading the letter, Xia Zhaoyi put it away and asked someone to put it in his second brother's room.

Zhan Ning said carefully behind her: "Second Miss, is it serious?"

Because there were people everywhere nearby, and all of them were injured, Xia Zhaoyi lowered his voice to the lowest level, and his words were incomplete and intermittent. He would pause for a long time after finishing a sentence before speaking another sentence.

Zhan Ning had been through many battles and was used to these situations. He said, "So that's how it is. That's not bad."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said with satisfaction: "Yes."

"But what do you think, Miss?"

Xia Zhaoyi sutured the wound of the wounded man in his hand, wiped his hands with a wet cloth, and walked to the next one.

"Yi Shurong is better than Shang Taiyu. He can keep his composure and handle things well. Shang Taiyu, the King of Words, has an advantage and is arrogant. If he loses his advantage, he will be nothing and will be in a slump for a long time."

Zhan Ning nodded: "That's true, but Miss, who wants to listen to their comments? We are all opponents anyway." "You asked me what I think, and what I meant is, beat the fallen dog."

Zhan Ning was stunned: "Second Miss, are you saying that you are going to deal with Ling Daicheng?"

"Correct."

"Pfft, this King Changyan who has been so powerful for decades probably wouldn't have thought that we would just focus on him and kill him alone."

Xia Zhaoyi shook his head: "From the current point of view, he is actually lucky. After all, I have killed most of the dignitaries in Lan Ze City."

"It sounds like that, indeed."

Thinking back to every move the girl made after they came out of the Golden Moon Mountain, Zhan Ning discovered that, apart from tampering with the letters from the flying birds and completely disrupting their military plans, the purpose of all her other actions was only one: to intimidate.

And the effect is very ideal.

"In fact, it's good to have a good fight," Zhan Ning sighed. "If we keep dragging it on, who knows how long it will last. Looking at our Central Plains, those old bastards who only care about being emperors are not honest. The sooner the fight is over, the sooner we can go back and deal with them! Let the people of this world live a good life!"

Xia Zhaoyi was roasting a needle over the fire, and Zhan Ning's words made her eyes flash with reluctance.

After the Lantern Festival, Shen Lie will leave.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

His schedule was too tight, and he was already trying to squeeze out as much time as possible to spend with her.

And he went back to deal with those people.

Once he completely takes over Jiangnan, it will also be a good thing for the Northwestern Front. Jiangnan is so rich, as long as it is managed well, there will be an endless supply of food and clothing.

One is in the northwest, the other in the southeast, and the distance between them spans the entire Central Plains diagonally.

And these two places are battlefields.

When will the next time we meet?

Another busy day, Shen Lie and Xia Zhaoxue were like two fishermen who worked from sunrise to sunset, returning from two directions on time.

But the journey was long, and when we returned, it was completely dark.

Shen Lie did not look for her immediately. He went back to his room to take a shower first to feel refreshed before he could do anything else.

Xia Zhaoxue was not so particular. He even dragged a corpse directly to his sister.

Several soldiers put down the stretcher, and Xia Zhaoxue squatted down and lifted the white cloth.

The corpse lying on the ground had an expression of unwillingness and resentment. The cause of death was probably the big cut on the throat. The blood around the wound had solidified and turned black, and was frozen into a layer of white frost by the severe winter.

Xia Zhaoxue said: "A villager led us up. The villagers said that he was seriously ill and was killed by his companions. The elders were the first to find his body. They also kidnapped a white dog from a hunter's family and left without saying a word. The hunter's youngest son had a deep affection for the white dog and cried for two days."

Xia Zhaoyi: “…”

After a pause, Xia Zhaoyi whispered, "Did you pay for us?"

Xia Zhaoxue said bluntly: "I am a pauper now."

"..."

Xia Zhaoxue smiled brightly again: "It's okay, I brought a lot of soldiers with me, and we all took out our money, and we collected five cents to pay first."

Zhan Ning couldn't help but say, "Five cents! That dog isn't worth that much!"

Xia Zhaoxue smiled and said, "Friendship is priceless. The hunter's little son cried so much that his eyes became swollen like quail eggs."

Xia Zhaoyi sighed and looked back at the body: "Have you searched it?"

"Well, nothing. They certainly wouldn't let him leave anything behind."

Xia Zhaoyi thought for a moment and said, "It's freezing in this snowy weather, so just let him freeze. If we find out who his background is, we'll have people pack up the body and send it to their doorstep, so that his service will be worthwhile." (End of this chapter)
