late night song

Chapter 204
The guerrilla encirclement and suppression war was still going on. The Xirong army was too scattered and their food and grass were cut off. They had to take the risk of going down the mountain to rob and kill the people. This way of revealing their traces saved the snakes on the fifth road in Beiling from searching all the way, and the efficiency was suddenly high. got up.

After about four or five months, there were less than [-] Xirong troops fleeing in all directions, and the smaller the area of ​​​​containment, it was not worth it for all five armies to attack together, which was a waste of military power. And when the dead of winter came, it was hard to march in the open air and eat in the open air. Due to the difficulties, Shan Yong felt sorry for his daughter and suggested withdrawing the two armies to support the southwest front.

Ling Ziyu also thought hard about how to recall Yu Chu. It happened that Shan Yong's suggestion at this time was in line with his wishes, so he immediately issued a military order and ordered Gu Yuchu and Shan Mingxi to return to Qiongzhou. The remaining three armies except the Hongchai Female Army Continue to advance and kill the remaining bandits.

Gu Yuchu had Hehe's core military strength that she had managed to preserve, and she had no objection to competing with Shan Mingxi, so she accepted the military order and without any hesitation, she changed direction and went straight back to Qiongzhou.

No one was happier than Shu Yuan when he heard that he was going back. In the past, he was diligent in striving for success, but now, nothing is more important than quickly leading his sister back to his favorite brother-in-law. .

He also chased Jin Yutang several times for this reason, saying all kinds of unpleasant things, but the bandit leader refused to get in and insisted on following him back to Qiongzhou City.

"Why are you so shameless and scoundrel? Your skin is almost ten feet thick." Shu Yuan cursed.

"Is it okay for me to follow my wife?" Jin Yutang said cleverly, but he was still careless.

"Fart, who are you? How dare you have such wishful thinking? To tell you the truth, my sister is already married. You have given up on this idea!"

"Married?" Jin Yutang frowned, then he didn't know what he was planning, he relaxed his brows and said confidently, "That's no problem, your sister likes me."

"She likes you as hell!"

Shu Yuan's eyebrows turned red with anger. If he had his previous temper, he wouldn't be willing to waste his words. But these days, this bandit has indeed helped the entire army a lot. Although he has not been able to repay the favor personally, Zhien is still He wanted it, so it was absolutely impossible to take action. He could only use strong words. He continued to threaten with sideways eyes: "Don't force me to take action."

"If she didn't like me, how could she suddenly break into my village and promise me her life? If she didn't like me, how could she save me and save me from the sword many times during the melee between the two armies?" Jin Yutang was reasonable. That's true.

"She is using you because you can help the war effort." In order to force this bullshit plaster away, Shu Yuan had no choice but to slander his sister's reputation.

"I don't care, I want to be with her." Jin Yutang was unmoved, and the atmosphere suddenly became more tense.

"Jin Yutang, my brother is right, I am just using you." Gu Yuchu couldn't listen anymore, so he showed up directly and continued talking under the guise of his brother.

It was a fact that she was using him. She was despicable and helpless. She didn't want to hide anything, let alone let him sink deeper.

The smile on Jin Yutang's mouth solidified, but he did not change his original intention: "I really don't care, just let me go with you. I will send you back to Qiongzhou and then I will go back to Phoenix Mountain. How about that?"

"Sister, don't be fooled, this person has ulterior motives!"

"what ever!"

Gu Yuchu thought about it again and again, Shan Mingxi would definitely have misunderstandings when he went back, and Ling Buhuo would be hard to figure out, so he might as well bring this snake oil with him just in case.Although it is very unreasonable, if it succeeds for both of them, it can be regarded as a meritorious deed, so I will no longer insist on it.

In this way, their team drove the mountain road for 20 days before the first snowfall, and finally returned to Qiongzhou with Shan Mingxi.

Ling Buhuo was commanding at the front line and was not in the city. Shan Mingxi was clamoring to rush to the front line after half a month of rest, but Gu Yuchu refused to go.

As expected, Jin Yutang changed his mind. In order to stay, he promised Gu Yuchu not to call her "ma'am" again, so he regained her good looks.

During the half-month of rest, Gu Yuchu practiced military training and swordplay, while Jin Yutang, unusually well-behaved, watched quietly from the side without disturbing him.When they took a break, they drank and chatted, but were intimate for a while. In these war-torn years, they felt free and happy for a while.

Gu Yu initially estimated that the war situation would be overwhelmingly reversed next spring, so Dong Qi and Beiling would only need to take advantage of the victory to pursue the victory without investing too much troops. Moreover, Qi Ji's time as the emperor's charioteer would not be very long, so she planned to stay at home. After the new year, he will be asked to lead the charge and replace Beiling's main army, which is tired from months of battles. This will be able to coincide with Ling Buhuo or Qi Ji.

It was always good for the two of them to avoid each other, so as to avoid the unexplainable embarrassment when the three of them met, but unexpectedly, a letter from the front line disrupted her plan.

During the snowy battle with Xirong, Gu Fan was seriously injured. Coupled with the old illness, it may be difficult to save his right leg. The current situation is very critical.

She was so worried that she quickly sent Jin Yutang back to Fenghuang Mountain, and promised to spend a lot of money to go to Fenghuang Mountain to express her gratitude.Then, he quickly rushed to the front line with Shu Yuan and Shan Mingxi.

Such repetitions made Shan Mingxi very unhappy. This woman did not keep her word and was very abominable.

When the two female generals arrived at the camp, Ling Buhuo personally greeted them. From the moment they saw Gu Yuchu, his eyes were full of lovesickness. Shan Mingxi saw this and felt endless sadness and grievance in her heart.

The camps of the Beiling and Dongqi coalition forces on the southwest front were stationed in the same area, with only ten feet of space left in the middle, where the commanders of the two armies discussed their affairs.

Gu Fan was seriously injured. If something unexpected happened, Gu Yuchu didn't know what would happen. Ling Bu couldn't bear it, and Qi Jie was even more worried.

Therefore, Ling Buhuo asked to send him to his military camp to treat him personally, but Qi Jian refused and asked Prince Ling to go to Dongqi's camp.After a compromise between the two parties, he was temporarily placed in this large meeting tent. On the one hand, it was spacious and comfortable, and on the other hand, he was under the control of the two armies.

That night when Shan Mingxi and his entourage arrived for the first time, Ling Buhuo ordered an extra meal to give the two female generals a welcome break.

At a simple banquet in the army, Ling Buhuo praised the bravery of the two female generals and mentioned their classic battles. Shan Mingxi killed the most enemies and Gu Yuchu suffered the least losses. They were both examples of the three armies and were not biased.

But Gu Yuchu had no intention of celebrating, and showed off his pretense, rushing to take care of Gu Fan's daily life, Shu Yuan also came with her.

"Xiaofan? Xiaofan? I'm coming, you must hold on!"

Opening the heavy curtain, Gu Yuchu saw his pale and lifeless face at first glance. This brat had always been noisy, and there had never been such a quiet time. Her heart was clenched, her eyes were sore, and her tears were uncontrollable. 's fell down.

Although they are not related by blood at all, their mutual dependence in Yumenguan and Qidu in the past has involved this child in her life and regarded her as her biological brother.She has lost Lan Ye, and she no longer wants to see the people around her saying goodbye to her one by one.

"You're a scoundrel. You can't beat me, so you just lie here and pretend to be dead. It's really embarrassing."

Shu Yuan's eyes were red. He hugged his sister and scolded her in a low voice.

Although he and Gu Fan were enemies, they spent many times more time meeting each other than talking to each other. He had also been jealous of his sister's favoritism, but he could also see clearly that this boy treated his sister with the same sincerity and sincerity as he did himself. .

Gu Fan lost too much blood and was a little confused. He vaguely heard someone calling him. He opened his eyes forcefully. In his confusion, he seemed to recognize Gu Yuchu who was throwing himself in front of the bed. He called his sister gently and fell asleep again. passed.

This time, the meridians of his right leg were almost severed, with only a trace of connection. In order to stop the heavy bleeding, the meridians must be unblocked, and the function of his right leg should be preserved. Ling Buhuo had already injected him twice in a row, and would do it again in five days. .

After that comes the long and critical ten-day observation period, but even if you survive this disaster, you will have to stay in bed for more than half a year before you can walk.

But the current conditions were really difficult. Although the tent was furnished beyond the standard and burned with charcoal, the northwest wind was really cold. The newly added animal skin and cotton blanket did not dare to weigh too heavily on Gu Fan for fear of hurting the wound. This completely panicked Gu Yuchu.

Ling Buhuo also hurriedly came to visit after the banquet. Gu Yuchu staggered forward and grabbed him, asking: "Why not send him back to the city for treatment?"

"With his current condition, he can't bear the bumpy journey. He can only rest where he is. He can only consider transferring him to another place after the ten-day danger period has passed after another injection." Ling Buhuo helped her sit on the edge of the bed and answered. road.

"Do you have any chance of winning?" Her voice was choked and hoarse.

Ling Buhuo raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and comforted her gently: "I will do my best, believe me."

"Yes." Gu Yuchu nodded numbly, and then ordered Shu Yuan to move a small bed, where she would stay with Gu Fan these days.

"It's not convenient here, so I'll guard it."

Shu Yuan refused, but with his sister's insistence and Ling Buhuo's nod of acquiescence, he could only do it.

Gu Yuchu stayed here with her clothes untied. Gu Fan had a high fever, so she brought him some snow water to wipe his body and cool him down. By the time Ling Buhuo applied the acupuncture for the third time, his high fever had basically subsided, and he was considered very safe again.

For the next three days, Gu Fan was still unconscious. She waited on him tirelessly, feeding him a little water every hour and a decoction every half day, but as time went by, her body couldn't bear it.

Looking at his exhausted sister, Shu Yuan felt anxious in his heart.

But outside the camp, the war could start again at any time. Gu Yuchu had already ignored the military law, so she did not allow Shu Yuan to leave his post without authorization again. He had no choice but to take time to visit, occasionally thinking of ways to comfort and make his sister happy, but one time he played Smashed, jokingly said that if it were him lying here, he wouldn't want her to work so hard.

As a result, Gu Yuchu collapsed instantly and slapped him hard.

"If you want me to die immediately, just follow this bastard's example!" She couldn't control it anymore and burst into tears. The worries and fatigue of the past few days were aroused to the extreme, and she fainted.

When she woke up again, she continued to take good care of Gu Fan, and no one dared to stimulate her again.

Ling Buhuo remained calm and secretly thought of a good idea. He increased the dose of Bai Ziren in the calming soup that Gu Yuchu took every day, and sent it to Shuyuan every night. After she fell asleep, Ling Buhuo hugged her. He went to rest on the soft roof of his tent and put Shu Yuan on guard.

It went so smoothly for several days, taking care of her emotions and ensuring her physical strength.

But one time, Ling Buhuo was too busy and had no time to prepare the calming soup himself, so he added too much water to the potion that day. Gu Yuchu woke up from his dream and discovered his "trick".

"Why are you here?" She held her dizzy head and sighed, then jumped up again and asked, "How is Xiaofan?!"

Ling Buhuo gently helped her down and said, "I just went to see her. Everything is fine. Shu Yuan has gone to guard her. You can rest peacefully."

"No, I have to go in person. The war has not subsided yet, and he still has to conserve his energy to fight." She still refused to listen to the dissuasion.

"If you fall again, it will be just as dangerous for him to be distracted on the battlefield." Ling Buhuo really understood this woman, and his two words, neither light nor serious, touched her heart, and Gu Yuchu calmed down.

"Don't worry. It won't take much energy to take care of Wu Cen and Shu Yuan. You can sleep for another hour or two before changing them."

Gu Yuchu was really sleepy. Her nerves were tense these days, which made her unable to think about the defense between men and women and Shan Mingxi's thoughts. She was extremely reassured by Ling Buhuo, so she stopped being persistent.

Only at this time every night could she let go of her worries, close her eyes and listen to the pleasant collision of the bowl and spoon, waiting for the faint sweet fragrance of honey to be fed to her mouth.

Shan Mingxi saw all Ling Buhuo's care for Gu Yuchu. She felt more and more that this woman was scheming and repetitive, but she couldn't resist the infatuation of this usually calm man. She only thought that he was bewitched by the evildoer and lost his mind. mind.

She had wanted to help, but it involved foreign generals. To avoid suspicion, her father forced her to not get involved in the dispute.

Although Shan Mingxi is willful, she is not a violent and impulsive person. Although she is resentful and jealous in her heart, she must be calmer at this time. She will never be stupid enough to make trouble with his fresh energy. She is a battlefield female general. The most basic cultivation.

So, these days, she endured her grievances and stood silently beside Ling Buhuo, not far or near, ready and prepared for whatever he did. She was really virtuous and kind.
