I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

"A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." Su Cheng'an sent her to the Yuanyang Army Gate, "The twists and turns in the army are actually no less than those in the court, so you'd better be careful."

It’s just that the composition of the Yuanyang Army is relatively simple, so it cannot be felt. In fact, the open and secret struggles in the army are not necessarily more open than those in the court.

The saying “people die for money and birds die for food” applies everywhere.

Xi Lilong laughed nonchalantly: "You and Song Shiqiu were the same back then, and I am no different from you."

The paths of the loyal ministers are actually the same. As long as Your Majesty does not doubt them, they will not be in any danger. They are the sharpest weapons in Your Majesty's hands. As long as Your Majesty is willing to trust them, their blades will not bend.

Su Chengan seemed a little surprised, with a little emotion on his face: "This road is not as easy as you think, but if you really take this road, there is no turning back."

"Do you think I'm someone who would easily change my ambition? From the moment I decided to join the Yuanyang Army, I won't look back." Xi Lilong smiled slowly. She had already cut off all her retreat routes. What she said to her father at the beginning was her token of surrender.

She will never return to the Xi family, and her honor and disgrace in this life will depend on His Majesty.

Su Chengan understood the meaning of her words, and his expression was a bit complicated: "Why do you have to be like this? You are different from us. You don't really have no relatives."

Xi Lilong is the main general of the Yuanyang Army and has no relationship with the Xi family in this life, but if he gives up this identity, he can still go back.

"Only by completely severing ties with the Xi family can I protect them. Only then will the Xi family never be constrained by me." Xi Lilong took off his disguise and told him the real reason. "You know, a female general is as dangerous as it sounds. I can't fulfill my filial piety. How can I let myself have the possibility of bringing trouble to my family?"

The words spoken at the Dali Temple severed the father-daughter relationship between them, but also saved the Xi family.

"Are you really going to take the Yuanyang Army to search for Ge Shuying tomorrow?" Su Cheng'an couldn't hide his worry in his eyes. "Ge Shuying is cunning and may have taken more than 10,000 soldiers with him. You are only taking 6,000 Yuanyang Army."

It's really too risky.

"So if you don't want me to die, take your people and quickly break through the Turkic tent to rescue us." Xi Lilong closed his eyes, "I can't watch the Turkic sneak into Daxia and hurt the people of Daxia. How can those unarmed people resist 10,000 cavalrymen?"

No one knows where Geshu Ying is now, and no general is willing to lead his soldiers to search for him. This is no different from committing suicide.

"We may not be able to form a Yuanyang Army for many years after our death, but if we die for the people, then the Yuanyang Army will die for a good cause. Your Majesty will not blame us." Xi Lilong understood his thoughts just by looking at him, "As a general, you cannot leave here."

"Your ability to lead troops is no less than anyone else. It would be a loss for Daxia if you died." Su Cheng'an did not want to watch Xi Lilong go to his death, both publicly and privately.

Xi Lilong smiled helplessly: "I used to think so too. There are too many ordinary people in this world, so people like us seem particularly precious, as if we are one in a million, so our lives are more important than others."

Because people like her, Su Chengan and Song Shiqiu cannot be cultivated no matter how hard you try.

"But this is not right, Su Chengan, this is not right. There is no distinction between noble and humble human lives. No one deserves to die, and no one's life is not worth it. No matter who dies, someone will be sad. If we judge the value of a person's life based solely on his or her ability, then aren't we cold-blooded people who regard human life as an ant?"

"I am willing to die for the people of Da Xia. Regardless of success or failure, I am willing to lead the Yuanyang Army to find Ge Shuying. Because I am willing to do this, the possibility of our success is higher." Xi Lilong was determined to find Ge Shuying. "Whether we win or lose, we must do our best to protect the people of Da Xia. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for us to surrender directly from the beginning?"

Su Chengan stretched out his hand, made a fist, and punched her shoulder: "I've become somewhat accustomed to it. I didn't expect to be taught a lesson by you today. It really is an eye-opener."

Xi Lilong looked at him for a long time before he smiled: "Su Chengan, I will have something to tell you after we defeat the Turks. But before that, I hope you can focus on the business."

"That's fine." Su Cheng'an returned to his usual playful and smiling appearance, "But you have to tell me first whether it's a good thing or a bad thing."

"Whether it's good or bad depends on how you think about it. I think it's a good thing, but you may not think so." Xi Lilong simply ignored him.

Su Chengan sighed: "Then I know, it must not be a good thing, otherwise why are you keeping it a secret?"

"Every man has his own opinion." After saying this, Xi Lilong entered the military camp, leaving Su Cheng'an alone in the cold wind.

Lin Jin and his companions had been traveling for several days, and they only had one last stretch of road left before they would part ways with Tu Huaining.

Several people were sitting in the middle post eating lunch. Lin Jin glanced at Liu Zhengqing, who seemed to be worried for a while, and didn't understand what was wrong with him.

"Brother, are you reluctant to leave Huaining?" Lin Jin thought about it for a few days but couldn't figure out the reason, "You seem unhappy recently."

Tu Huaining almost choked, and swallowed the rice in his mouth with tea: "I'm going back to Divine Doctor Valley, not dying, why should I be unhappy? He and I didn't live together all the time."

It was normal for them not to see each other for a year or two before.

"So what happened to brother these days? Something is really wrong." Lin Jin rarely heard Liu Zhengqing speak these days. Although he said nothing was wrong every time she asked, she just felt that something was wrong.

It's as if he's troubled by something.

"Don't worry about him. He is not a good guy and he won't do anything bad. You should worry that he will take it out on others just because he is in a bad mood." Tu Huaining snorted and laughed. She knew why Liu Zhengqing was not right, but she didn't intend to say it out loud.

Lin Jin's mouth twitched, but there was no need to worry so much: "Huai Ning, are you really going back to the Divine Doctor Valley?"

"What else can I do? There's nothing outside, and I have to find the herbs myself. There's nothing fun here. I might as well go back to the Divine Doctor Valley." Tu Huaining has had enough of playing outside over the years. He can't even grow poisonous flowers out there. It's better to go back to the Divine Doctor Valley.

"Okay." Lin Jin had no choice but to raise her eyes. A small bottle appeared in front of her. She looked at Tu Huaining in surprise, "What is this?"

It's poison again.

Tu Huaining looked at her as if she were a fool: "Food."

"Are you serious?" Lin Jin picked up the small bottle with suspicion. The more he looked at it, the more it looked like the poison Tu Huaining had researched. "Is it really edible?"

"Yes, it's sweet, but you can only eat it once in your lifetime. The next time you eat it will be in your next life." Tu Huaining rolled his eyes, as if he felt a little speechless, "I can't save it."

Lin Jin knew that she was good at talking, but she didn't expect that she could be insulted like this: "How do you know it's sweet?"

Have you eaten it? No way?

"People in the Divine Doctor Valley will try all kinds of poisons before they die. There are records of this. They make the best use of everything. They're going to die anyway, so it's a good idea to try poison." Tu Huaining said it calmly, not realizing how scary his words were.
