Chapter 220 Hello, very good

If this kind of compliment were spoken by someone else, it would make me feel somewhat frivolous.

But Fan Li has always been reticent and serious. When he spoke, his voice was low and quiet, and he spoke slowly, as if every word was flowing from his heart.It was almost as if he was talking to himself.

After he finished speaking, he fell silent.The bone-chilling wind hit him like waves, and his appearance could not be seen clearly in the dark night, except for a tall figure.

I was so cold that my whole body was stiff, but suddenly I couldn't feel the cold anymore. I was stunned for a moment, and my cheeks felt a little hot for no reason.

I had known his feelings for me, and thought that as time went by, he would naturally become indifferent.

Unexpectedly, although he no longer mentioned his affection for me and only treated me as a friend, his words and deeds remained unchanged.

The sudden silence made the atmosphere full of unspeakable ambiguity. I stood up quickly, crossed my arms tightly and said, "I've never heard you praise me before. Only after I saved you today do you know how good I am! I'll go find him." I put some branches to make a fire, look at this situation, I’m going to spend the night in the mountains tonight.”

"I……"

As soon as he spoke, I waved my hand towards him, walked out of the cave, and said loudly: "Be careful of the wound, and don't move around."

After walking a few steps out of the cave, Fan Li's voice came from behind: "You should also be careful."

The warm firelight illuminated the cave, and I felt hungry, so I quickly took off the package on my back.

In addition to pastries, flatbreads and dried meat, there is also a roast duck.

After heating it over the fire, I handed Fan Li a large duck leg.

"Eat more, I don't know when Xing'er and the others will find us. Until then, you have to endure it. I also have a bottle of wine. If you feel severe pain, just take a few sips."

Under the firelight, Fan Li looked exhausted. He took the duck leg and just brought it to his lips when he suddenly whispered: "Where did you get the roast duck from Jinling Laobianfang?"

"Ah?" I was stunned for a moment, and then I remembered that Sun Zeyu said that the boy had queued for a long time to buy this roast duck and asked me to eat it on the road. It must be very famous.

Knowing that I couldn't hide it, I simply said: "Yes, you have a good nose. Eat it quickly. It won't taste good when it's cold."

As I said that, I took out the wine bottle from my waist, walked to him and squatted down, saying, "Come on, let's drink some wine first to warm up."

I stared at him with concern.

He looked at me and then lowered his eyes, looking a little embarrassed. He took the flask and drank a few sips. Perhaps he drank too much and coughed several times. I was startled and hurriedly helped him to soothe him. Hold your chest and breathe smoothly.

These coughs must have affected the wound. He closed his eyes tightly, took a few deep breaths, and leaned against the stone wall for a while before opening his eyes. He raised his hand with difficulty and handed the duck leg to me: "Keep it, I don't want to eat it."

"You're already losing blood, how can you do it without eating?"

He shook his head: "I'm not hungry, and I have no appetite." I stretched out my hand to touch his forehead. He was startled and immediately moved back as if surprised, but I had let go of his forehead, and instead pulled his wrist and touched it. To his pulse, this time he stopped moving, but his chest rose and fell more violently.

After checking my pulse, I felt even heavier.

Fan Li did not have a fever, but his pulse was weak and weak, and the skin of his wrists was cold.

I simply sat next to him, tore off a small piece of duck meat, and brought it to his mouth: "You still need to eat, eat as much as you want, and I'll feed it to you."

Fan Li looked at me deeply and opened his mouth obediently.

I watched my nose, nose and heart carefully, and carefully fed him meat and wine. After he finished eating, I sat aside and started eating.

"What I just said is true. I have always thought you were good, very good." His tone was low, as if he was talking in his sleep.

I raised my head, as if I hadn't heard him, and said, "General Fan, you haven't told me yet, why are you here? I saw that there were ten thousand people from the Daying garrison. Could it be that there is a war?"

Fan Li said: "I didn't bring the soldiers, it was Cheng Qi. When I get back, I will ask him about his crime..."

It turned out that Liao Chen had lost track of Xing'er and me on the grassland, so he rushed to Yehuling overnight and told Fan Li.

"Liao Chen said that the Mongols abducted you, and he didn't know which tribe he belonged to. After a long search, he found out that he was going to Oara. So I found a trader who traveled around the grasslands all year round, and followed them to find the big village in Oara. But when they arrived at the place, their Great Khan said he didn't know anything about it, but the Grand Master also came first and said that you did go to see him, but you left too early. Of course I didn't believe it, so I asked Feng Jian to go back and check, but I didn't want to. After Feng Jian left, that night, spies from Oara came to report that our garrison was arriving in the direction of Oara's tent. They also wanted to capture me on the pretense that I was looking for someone, but in fact they came to explore Oara's background and intend to declare war. "

I said: "Can I know your identity first?"

Fan Li said: "I have met him several times, and I naturally know that, but I did not go there as General Daying, but in my own name, in the name of your friend. Even so, he still treated me politely."

He sighed and continued:
"Cheng Qi didn't know that I came to Wala. I thought he wanted to stir up trouble first and take the opportunity to capture me. In fact, Daying's army didn't come over. How could I just be captured? So he led a few of his subordinates from Wala to capture me. I broke out. But I didn't expect that I would be so arrogant at first and pursue them all the way. Several of my subordinates died. They wanted to capture me alive, so although I was hit by an arrow, my life was not hurt. All my Wala people have been killed, and I can no longer hold on."

He smiled bitterly and said: "I was sitting on the snow, thinking that sooner or later I would die on the battlefield, but I didn't expect that it would not be in my capacity as a general, but in my own name, Fan Li. This is fine, I I don’t want that false reputation a long time ago. It’s just a pity that I couldn’t find you, which makes me regretful.”

Fan Li was indeed disheartened by fame. He had never been united with the current imperial court or the current emperor, but his belief in being loyal to the emperor and serving the country was engraved in his bones. Therefore, he has been tangled and painful since he experienced the coup d'etat. .

I said: "You are in danger alone, you are really risking your life."

"What can I do? When I learn that you were taken away by the Mongols, can I just sit back and ignore you? I just underestimated Ye Xian. I know that he is ambitious and will dominate the grasslands, but he dares to challenge me. out of my expectation."

"The tribes in the grassland have always been afraid of Daying. In the past two years, they have been extremely peaceful in paying tribute and trading with Daying. Only Wala has been fighting in the east and west in recent years, causing trouble in various grassland tribes. He even occupied Goryeo a few years ago, just because It's the dispute between their grassland tribes, and I don't want to get involved. Now it seems that if I don't teach him a lesson, there is no guarantee that he will be like the Tatars back then, and one day he will provoke me and cause trouble."

I said: "I've seen it before. It's not surprising that someone like him dares to provoke Da Ying, but if he acts blatantly, he may not really dare. This time you went to their tent in disguise first, and then Cheng Qi led the way We are not unreasonable when it comes to sending troops. But how could Cheng Qi easily send troops without your permission? I don’t think he is a reckless person."
