There are many treasures in this country

Xiao Suo plunged his head into his chest, refused to speak, resisted communication, shook him to no response, shook him not to move, in a word—playing dead.

He was still shivering, and he couldn't warm up for a while.Shen Yan pulled him out, looked at him with deep eyes, very serious.

Xiao Suo was under pressure, Nuonuo said: "I'm afraid that something will happen to you, so...so...you say you won't be angry with me, you can't break your promise and get fat, don't, don't be angry..."

Shen Yan unpacked the cotton bag, took out the crystal clear and round black pearl inside, and stuffed it into the empty kit tied around the waist of the man in his arms. "If you dare to take it out in the future, be careful that I will beat you." He patted his buttocks as he spoke.

"It hurts..." Xiao Suo frowned and hid twice.

"What's the matter?" His hands are not heavy, so it really hurts. "Let me see, where does it hurt?"

Xiao Suo twitched for a moment, bit his lip and said: "Don't look, I fell, I fell, it hurts."

Shen Yan sighed, hugged him horizontally, and said: "It doesn't matter, let's go now, go back and check for you, see where you are hurt. You are so cold, I have to watch the fire to slow down."

"I can go," he said thumpingly, "let, let me down, yes, yes."

"When will you speak sharply, don't look like a little stammer, it's never too late to show off." Shen Yan pinched his earlobe, and immediately frowned, "It's so hot, it's burning, and it's finally a cold .”

"Never mind," he said.

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden commotion outside, and the faint light of the fire penetrated into the window paper.Xiao Suo was startled, and pushed him weakly: "Hurry up, hurry up, they found you."

"Nonsense." Shen Yan didn't panic, and tapped his forehead with his index finger, "There's nothing to be afraid of just those few people. How could I leave you and run for my life, what's going on in your little head all day long. Listen to me If so, close your eyes and don't open them."

Xiao Suo pursed his lips, closed his eyes as he said, and asked again: "What are you going to do?"

"I'll take you out." Shen Yan put him on the ground and let him hold the door frame with both hands, "Hey, don't move, don't open your eyes, it will be fine soon."

After speaking, he pushed open the door.

More than a dozen people with open flames had just walked to the backyard, and saw him standing in the cold wind with a long sword in black, hair fluttering in front of his eyebrows, and murderous eyes in his eyes, which made people daunting.

After a pause, everyone couldn't help but feel apprehensive, and then remembered that their own side was powerful, he was no match for four hands with two fists, and in the end he was slightly inferior.Thinking of this, evil came to the gallbladder, holding a steel knife and swarming up.

Shen Yan drew his sword out of its sheath, opened the blade, jumped up, and the tip of the sword flickered, like a silver snake, like dancing white exercises, stabbing more than ten times in a flash, like flowing clouds and flowing water, done in one go, the moves are well-balanced, very well-organized.

Before everyone saw his movements clearly, a figure flashed in front of them, and the acupuncture point on his wrist had been stabbed.This was caught off guard, dozens of weapons fell to the ground in response, they were defeated before fighting.

Shen Yan's strike was as fast as thunder, as fast as lightning, without time, without mercy, without waiting for their reaction, he turned around and pierced the person in front with his sword.

Everyone was surprised at first, but when they saw this change, they suddenly came back to their senses, knowing that tonight is going to kill you and me, so they all bravely rushed forward in order to seek a chance of survival.

They don't have knives in their hands, but they still have torches, which can also be used as weapons in times of crisis.Although Shen Yan wears a sword all year round, his well-known precious sword is narrow and straight, similar to a sword.What's more, when one's martial arts has been practiced to the pinnacle and the level of proficiency is perfect, flying flowers and broken leaves can also hurt people, so there is no need to use such weapons.

Whether it is a sword or a knife, or a branch or a withered grass, they are all sharp weapons in his hands, like his arms and fingers, he is invincible.Shen Yan stabbed obliquely with the sword, the tip of the sword divided into flowers, and directly grabbed the enemy's lower body, and then raised up, directly attacking the lower abdomen of everyone.He used more than ten moves in a row, but it seemed that one move was fast, and he wounded several people in a row.

Xiao Suo hid behind the door, he heard the sound of "chichi" piercing the air, and the sound of people falling to the ground crying, he didn't even care about the cold, he leaned against the window tremblingly to listen to the sound.Although he was worried, he didn't dare to open his eyes - Shen Yan said, no.

Not long after, the sound outside the door disappeared, and Shen Yan stepped in from far to near.

Xiao Suo knew it was him, so he stretched out his hand with confidence, and was embraced by him, and he asked, "Are you scared?"

"No." He said firmly, "Can I go?"

Shen Yan patted him on the back, and said comfortingly, "Okay, let's go now. Don't open your eyes, don't peek, and be obedient."

"Well, I'm obedient." Xiao Suo nodded, and was hugged by him on his shoulders and walked out. As soon as he went out, a strong smell of blood immediately penetrated his nostrils, and the smell was very nauseating.

Shen Yan walked to the front house, and saw that there were several people hiding under the table, trembling like chaff.He took out two ingots of silver from his pocket and put them on the counter, leaving a message: "These dozen or so people are traitors captured by the imperial court. You just throw their corpses into the wilderness, or send them to the pass to report to the officials. No one will bother you." .These two ingots of silver accompany your loss."

After getting out, he put Xiao Suo on the ground again and said, "Wait here, I'll go lead the horse."

"Don't!" Xiao Suo grabbed him, closed his eyes and begged: "I don't want to wait by myself, you take, take me. Can you go together? Let's go together."

Shen Yan pulled his clothes and said: "Okay, just open your eyes, it's all right. The Yu galloping horse is nearby, so I'll just take two steps back, it won't be long."

Xiao Suo slowly opened his eyes, looked around in a dizzy manner, and saw the long silent night, the vast Gobi, and there was no bright place around, only the faint moonlight, which was hazy and better than nothing.

"No, it's too, too dark." Xiao Suo said, "You take me—"

Before he could finish his sentence, a person suddenly jumped down from the roof and attacked him.In the blink of an eye, Shen Yan held the scabbard of his blade with his left hand, wrapped his right arm around Xiao Suo, and asked warmly, "Are you afraid?"

The man was already facing him, and he couldn't let go even if he wanted to let go, otherwise Shen Yan's sword would definitely fall on top of his head, but if he didn't let go, this move would be old enough to not hurt him at all.

"Afraid." Xiao Suo leaned close to Shen Yan's shoulder, his eyes were tightly closed, and his eyelashes trembled.

"Don't be afraid." Shen Yan patted him on the back, pushing away the falling blade, and the hilt hit several big holes on him. Taking advantage of his groaning gap, the blade was sent out three inches. Slit his throat.

"It's all right, I'll take you to lead the horse." He said.

The imperial galloping horse had fun in the vast expanse of heaven and earth. Hearing Shen Yan's whistle, he made a big circle before galloping back.Shen Yan wrapped Xiao Suo tightly, hugged him face to face, pressed him with one hand, threw off the rein with the other, and galloped away on the horse.

Xiao Suo has experienced the severe cold for a long time, and the high fever persists. He was already chilled all over his body, and then he was blown by the wind on the horse, and he couldn't bear it anymore. His fingers were too stiff to bend, so he had to clamp Shen Yan's waist with his wrists, so as not to fall off. go down.

The border is bitterly cold, let alone in winter, let alone in the middle of the night.The cold wind is like a knife, scratching the face of the person, almost bleeding.Shen Yan also knew that he couldn't bear the illness, but he really couldn't delay, and he had to go back early tomorrow morning, otherwise Ruan Tong would be ruined.

After walking for about two hours, I suddenly felt dust flying in front of me, as if there were traces of a large group of people passing by.Shen Yan slowed down the speed of the horse, took out the fire bag, looked down at the ground carefully, and saw that there were ruts and hoof marks, and there was a lot of dirt dug out, the things pulled must be heavy and abnormal.

Xiao Suo had just fallen asleep unsteadily, but he woke up again with a movement, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, it won't be cold soon." Shen Yan put away the fire bag and continued to run forward. Not long after, he saw more than a hundred people rushing ahead, and the one who rode first was Shi Yi.

He raised his voice and shouted, Eleven reined in his horse and stopped, turned around and looked overjoyed: "Master, why did you come back first, so fast!"

Shen Yan hurried over, and was very excited to hear the voices of the people calling for the general. He could see the smiles on their faces without using light, and knew that they must have won a big victory by raiding the robbers overnight, so he asked, "Is there a carriage?"

"There are no carriages, but there are carts." Eleven beckoned, asking the people next to him to pull the cart over, and said happily: "Master, your guess is right at all, these people really have a bit of force. Fortunately, we All of them are brothers with good skills, and they raided at night, and captured them before they got up."

"You did a good job, you will be rewarded when you go back." Shen Yan hugged Xiao Suo and got off the horse, and asked repeatedly: "Is there any wine? Quickly bring some. Have you seized any quilts and mattresses?"

The soldier driving the grain truck next to him said, "There are animal skins, including wolf skins, fox skins, and lynx grandchildren. What does the general want?"

"Quick, quick, wine." Eleven took the wine bag and brought it to Shen Yan, only then did he see Xiao Suo huddled in the fur. "Lord Xiao, what happened to him?"

"Frozen." Shen Yan cherished his words like gold, took a wine bag and poured a few sips to Xiao Suo, who was half-conscious and half-awake, and then instructed the people around him, "Quickly spread the wolf skin on the car."

He ordered Eleven to drive the Yuchi horse, and he carried Xiao Suo in the cart.With an order, the soldiers of chariots and horses marched forward again.

Wrapped in thick lynx skin, with a few sips of strong shochu under his stomach, Xiao Suo warmed up from the inside out.He stuck out half of his head, and saw that the fog cleared and the clouds cleared, the stars were shining brightly, and the bright and clear moon hung in front of him, it was huge and bright, as if it could be touched, the scene was so beautiful.

People in the army kept yelling, and hoofbeats sounded in their ears. It really felt like the world was so big and they came and went freely.It turned out that winning a battle was like this. No wonder Shen Yan couldn't forget the glorious past.

Xiao Suo was wrapped into a tube by two layers of animal skins, squirmed twice, and leaned into Shen Yan's ear and said, "'Brocade hat and ermine fur, thousands of riders roll Hiraoka', it is such a scene of great pride."

"Do you like it?" Shen Yan pushed aside the lynx grandson covering his profile, and traced his brow bone with his fingertips.

"I like it." Xiao Suo nodded, "I want to be a nomad, and I gallop on the Gobi Grassland every day."

Shen Yan laughed and said: "You are so strong, just be your high-ranking official. Do you think that nomads are so easy to be? They don't have enough food and clothing all the year round, and rain and snow are fatal things. You have to beware of other tribes. Looting, there is no fixed home. Besides, riding on horseback all year round, exposed to wind and sun, cold rain and frost, you will turn into a black egg in a few months. And you don’t even have a horse If you know how to ride, how do you herd herds?"

"I have you." Xiao Suo said with a weak smile, "You go hunting and grazing, and I will wait for you in the tent reading a book."

Before Shen Yan could answer, Eleven laughed loudly: "Listen quickly, Master Xiao is going to be our general's wife! The general is grazing and hunting, and he has warmed up his bed at home, waiting for our general to go home and sleep!"

The soldiers in charge of food followed behind, unable to hear the words in front of them clearly.Everyone present was from Shen Yan's old department, and everyone knew his hobbies. Hearing this, he immediately knew the relationship between Xiao Suo and their general, and they all burst out laughing.

"That's right, Mr. Xiao will be our general's daughter-in-law!"

Xiao Suo's cheeks were originally flushed red, but after hearing the words, they became even redder, and he whispered: "They are teasing me, you don't care."

"I think what they said is very good." Shen Yan smiled instead of anger, "You feel ashamed, you really look like a young daughter-in-law who just passed through the door."

"I'm a man." Xiao Suo pursed his lips and stood up, "I'm your husband, you're me...a wife doesn't seem right either."

Shen Yan couldn't help laughing: "Ambition is not small. Ask the people around you, who is like whose husband?"

"All around are your people," Xiao Suo grumbled, "Of course they are talking to you."

"That's fine." He said, "Let's go back and ask Liu Siwen to see what he thinks. You know, he likes this too, you can definitely tell."

Xiao Suo probably also had self-knowledge, puffing his cheeks and said sullenly: "Anyway, you just want to bully me, so I don't want to ask."

"Little rascal." Shen Yan lowered his head and rubbed the tip of his nose, and said in an amiable voice, "I will marry me when I get back, okay?"

He kept these words in his heart for a long time, but he never dared to say them clearly.At this time of euphoria, the cold wind became gentle, and the sky and the earth were in harmony, just like their witness.

As soon as his heart moved, he couldn't care less.

Xiao Suo stared at him blankly, unable to hide the light in his eyes.Relying on the darkness of the night, Shen Yan leaned over to kiss his slightly open mouth.The tip of the tongue licked his bright lips, sucked his soul root, and smiled again.

"Fool." He cleared his throat. "Have you ever been on a sled?"

"Snow... a sled?" Xiao Suo shook his head, "What is that?"

"When I conquered Yuntai, I went to the Raksha Country. There are many sledges there. In fact, there are many sledges in the Kanto area. Those places are colder than here, but they are not as dry as here, and they often fall. It rains and snows. In winter, when the snow on the ground reaches people’s necks, it is difficult for a carriage to move. A sled is a kind of carriage with two wooden planks that slide on the ground. The carriage goes faster."

Shen Yan hugged him upwards and asked, "Have you seen it?"

"No, I've never heard of it." Xiao Suo looked adoring, "You are really insightful and know a lot."

"Then do you want to sit for a while?" Shen Yan said with a smile, taking advantage of his admiration, "If we can capture the Tushan National Army, we can chase north from here, without going to the grassland, we can directly reach the Raksha border. It’s snowing there now, and it happened to be a sleigh ride in the past. Although the foreign land is bitter and cold, it has a unique scenery, and the food and drink are different from ours. Are you going?”

Xiao Suo hesitated and said: "Can we go? The emperor is looking forward to our victory and return to court. It will take a lot of time to go there. If we come back late, will something happen?"

"It's okay." Shen Yan said with a smile, "Since we have fought this battle, it's best to settle it once and for all. The emperor's body may cause trouble at any time. When the eldest prince ascends the throne, the master will be less suspicious and the country will be unstable. , is a great opportunity for foreign invasion. The emperor's intention is to take advantage of this time to completely subdue the Tushan Kingdom. In this case, this battle will not be over for a while. If we can win, we must drive them to the edge of the Tianshan Mountains Go up, that way you will be very close to Raksha Kingdom. Wouldn’t it be nice to take the opportunity to have a look?”

"It's easy for you to say." Xiao Suo said, "Even if you can't win the battle in front of you, you can say what will happen in the future. After these days, you have lost weight. If you want to drive them out of Tianshan, it will be much harder Difficult."

Shen Yan pinched his nose and shook it twice, and said: "Increase other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige. I will take you back right away and show you how powerful our army is."

"What's the use of momentum like a rainbow." Xiao Suo muttered, "It's not like they can't conquer their camp."

"Hey, you made me angry on purpose." Shen Yan pinched his face, "See how I punish you when I go back, make decisions without authorization, don't listen to me, and have to go to this wild place to take risks, I haven't done it yet. How about you. By the way, how did you persuade the emperor to send you to deliver food?"

Xiao Suo rubbed his head in his arms flatteringly, and said in a low voice: "I asked the teacher and the high servants to help me, and I talked about it in front of the emperor. The ministers of the court and the central government didn't want to come, so it happened to be my turn. You promise not to be angry , A real man keeps his word, so you can’t punish me.”

"I'm not a real man." Shen Yan argued unreasonably, "You said it yourself just now, you are my husband and I am your little daughter-in-law, how can I be a real man?"

"I really know I was wrong." He admits his mistakes faster than anyone else, but if he can do it all over again, he still has to make mistakes again and again.

Shen Yan smiled and said nothing.

While talking, he could already see the camp in the distance.On the [-]th, he called people out to pick up the food, and ordered the army to escort the prisoners in, unload the trucks and count the seized materials.

Shen Yan got out of the car with Xiao Suo in his arms, before he got in, he heard the commotion inside, and he didn't know what was going on.He had just walked a few steps when he saw Babao hastily greet him and said, "Young master, young master, are you alright? General, you are back. Mr. Ruan and General Song are having a fight, so go and have a look. General Song is going to kill you." Mr. Ruan's head!"

"What's going on?" Shen Yan asked sternly, "Did Ruan Tong pretend to be me and was discovered?"

Babao followed him and said: "The general guessed right. General Song became suspicious early yesterday morning. He came at noon, and Mr. Ruan excused that he was not feeling well to see him. He came again at night, saying that there was an urgent military situation, so he forced his way in. Mr. Ruan didn't hide it, so he asked him to find out. He yelled that Mr. Ruan murdered the general, pretended to be the commander, and killed him. Mr. Ruan argued with him for a few words, and then he got into trouble. He was holding a knife, and he was extremely fierce. No one dares to refute him here."

Shen Yan stepped into the tent, and saw a strand of black hair on the ground.Ruan Tong stood there with disheveled hair, one arm was still held by Song Tang.Everyone gathered around, watching the excitement.

"What's going on?" He put Xiao Suo down, pulled away the fur and let him lie down in the inner tent, and asked with his hands behind his back, "I'm asking you, what's going on?"

Ruan Tong's face was full of tears, and he fell on the ground. For a long time, he could only choke out one sentence: "General..."

Song Tang's eyes turned, the drooping corners of his mouth twitched, and he knelt down on one knee and said, "General, this guy is pretending to be a commander. He violated the military law and should be executed according to the law! After the general finds out, ask him to make it clear. Who knows that he is trying to shirk his excuses?" He denied it, and even beat him up, saying that the general had something wrong in his mind. He even brought out a group of soldiers at night, for fear of collaborating with the enemy. The general was afraid that he would judge the enemy, so he wanted to take him down for interrogation, but he refused in every possible way. This is why the general has to be rough. General Mingjian, the last general is only thinking about the safety of our army, it is really wronged."

Shen Yan took a deep breath, approached Ruan Tong to help him up, sat on the head, and said: "He didn't shirk and deny, it was indeed the general who asked him to disguise himself. The imperial court delivered a batch of food and salaries to the army, and the general found out in advance , Tu Shanguo intends to come to rob, so Master Xiao, the supervisor of the Peace Liberation Movement, set up a plan to let the food transport army pretend to be captured, and secretly sent a message. This matter. In order to cooperate with this general, Mr. Xiao froze in the wild for a few days, and his body was scalding with a high fever. This general is about to submit a booklet to ask for credit for him. Not only him, but even Mr. Ruan, this time he also made a great contribution .”

If you lose your military salary, you should be executed as a crime.

Shen Yan has made plans along the way, and he must never report the truth to the emperor.For the current plan, we have no choice but to describe this matter as a trap jointly set up by him and Xiao Suo, so as to help him out.

"It's like this..." Song Tang cupped his hands and smiled, "It seems that the general has misunderstood. The general was convicted and offended General Ruan...Young Master. Please make peace with the general for the general. Seeing as the general For the sake of ignorance, don't resent the last general."

Shen Yan's face was dripping with gloom, but his voice was calm: "Vice General Song, get up. Those who don't know are not guilty. If someone pretends to be the chief general, there is nothing wrong with you asking. This general is not allowed to spread this matter to the outside world. It is related to military pay and the enemy's situation. No defense. I just heard that you have an important emergency military report, what is it?"

"This..." Song Tang hesitated for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "General, please forgive me, the last general... the last general checked and found that a group of heavy soldiers have been replaced outside the camp of the Tu Shan Army...it's not an emergency situation."

Breaking into the big account without authorization is also a capital offense.

Shen Yan remained silent, his eyes were on the table coldly.

The tent is as quiet as water.

Sweat gradually appeared on Song Tang's forehead, and he knelt down on his knees and said, "Forgive me, the general, you are reckless! The general is really worried about accidents, so he acted so stupidly, please forgive me, general!"

"Get up." Shen Yan raised his hand, still not looking at him, "Vice General Song must pay attention to his words and deeds in the future, and don't act recklessly again. This general will report to you what happens in the future."

"The last general doesn't dare, the general beats the last general!" As he said this, Song Tang dared to get up, so he kept kowtow to apologize.

Shen Yan looked upset, waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's go down."

After Song Tang went out, Ruan Tong stood up slowly, gave him the soldier talisman, and said, "General, he saw the soldier talisman just now."

Seeing the soldier talisman, it is obviously not reckless to still make trouble.

Shen Yan nodded, picked up the lock of hair and gave it to him: "I know what he's thinking, sooner or later I will give you such a bad breath. You go to the tent to rest first, I have wronged you."

"I'm not wronged, for the general, I'm not wronged." Ruan Tong glanced at the inner tent and retreated silently.

Eleven happened to come in from outside the tent and asked, "General, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing." Shen Yan said, "You go and call Ji Ziyang, bring a few braziers inside, order someone to boil some water, and bathe Master Xiao."

There was a puddle outside the forest where they camped, not too big, but it was rare in the desert, and it solved the need for water.Eleven responded and left, and immediately ordered someone to dig ice.

Shen Yan sighed, went in and saw Xiao Suo lying straight on the couch, covering the quilt, holding the edge of the quilt with both hands, only showing two eyes, looking at him with a smile.

"My Dubao is the best." He sat on the side of the bed and said, "They are disobedient, a bunch of bastards."

"You are so majestic." Xiao Suo said with a fever, "I heard it all, General, you are the General."

Shen Yan "cheated" and said with a smile: "Did you know that I am a general the first day?"

"No." He shook his foot and said, "It's just that you are always, uh... always impressive."

"I'm so happy." Shen Yan rubbed his heart, and whispered in his ear, "I have a little flatterer like you following me."

Xiao Suo stood up and stuck a sticker on his lips, lowered his head and said, "I like to follow you."
