please come back

"What's wrong with me, you always look down on me like this." Jiang Linyuan brushed his sleeves lightly and said, "Since I have the ability to escape from Yangzhou and replace Old General Xia from the prison, then I must have the ability You can sneak into the enemy's camp."

If Jiang Linyuan hadn't mentioned it, Xia Heyu would have forgotten that he was the one who could save people from prison.

"But you don't even know where the enemy's food and grass are stored, how sure can you be?" Even though Xia Heyu knew that he had some skills, he still asked disdainfully.

"Infiltrating into the enemy's camp, you can always find it. The general believes in me." Jiang Linyuan said with a relaxed smile. This is really not difficult for Jiang Linyuan, who is good at observing words and expressions.

Xia Heyu turned to look at Jiang Linyuan, "But what if you don't come back?"

Jiang Linyuan was stunned for a moment, and he could clearly see a trace of unexplainable worry in Xia Heyu's eyes, but he said carelessly: "Don't worry, if you don't come back, you will definitely burn the enemy's food for you. Don't forget Just take advantage of the fire and burn some paper money for me."

Seeing Jiang Linyuan being so perfunctory, Xia Heyu gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go with you."

"No." Jiang Linyuan flatly refused, shaking his head and said: "Although you are a general in the army, you don't have to take the lead in everything. There are some things and some people, so you have to give up when you should."

"What if I can't bear it?" Xia Heyu blurted out, but was stunned after finishing speaking.

Jiang Linyuan was also taken aback when he heard the words, but then he just thought it was Xia Heyu's casual silly remark and laughed it off.

Xia Heyu calmed down, looked at Jiang Linyuan's face and knew that he had to go, so he said ruthlessly: "I will order some elite soldiers to go with you, and if something goes wrong, I will return immediately."

"Your soldiers are almost the same as you, and the hostility around them is hard to control, so I won't take them with you." Jiang Linyuan waved his hands in disgust.

"Then you really plan to burn the enemy's food alone, Jiang Linyuan, you dare to touch any tiger's butt." Xia Heyu frowned.

Jiang Linyuan just smiled, looking extremely relaxed, but suddenly felt that he might have committed the mistake of not leaving him a way out again.

On the second night, there was an extremely inconspicuous person in the enemy's barracks. Jiang Linyuan took off a set of military uniforms from the dead enemy soldiers in front of the city gate and put them on, easily blending into the enemy's camp.

A general died the day before, and many soldiers were lost. The atmosphere in the enemy camp was very dull at this time. All the soldiers were quietly warming up to the fire, and few people spoke.

Jiang Linyuan was also sitting by a fire, with his head lowered, pretending to be drowsy, so that no one would come to talk to him, and no one would recognize this stranger.

When it was close to midnight, all the soldiers returned to their tents in twos and threes, leaving only a part of the night guards.Jiang Linyuan raised his ears and heard the people around him getting up and leaving one by one, so he raised his head and stretched himself, and walked slowly in the camp.

The night watchman just glanced at him, rightly treating him as a soldier who returned to his account late, and didn't think too much about it.

Jiang Linyuan wandered around the camp like this, noting the location of the food and grass, while carefully memorizing the layout of the camp.

Fortunately, Jiang Linyuan found the location of the food and grass within a short while. Piles of hemp belts were surrounded by a small fence, and there were a few soldiers with spears guarding them, but Jiang Linyuan It could be seen that the two soldiers were already very tired, and they would definitely take a nap within an hour. Jiang Linyuan remembered the location of the food and grass, and continued to walk around, yawning.

It was already late at night, but Xia Heyu was still standing on the city wall, looking at the pitch black night, with no sleepiness on his face.

Looking at the enemy camp from a distance in the middle of the night, only dots of fire can be seen, illuminating a rough outline of the enemy camp.

Under the firelight, occasionally a blurry figure flashed by. Xia Heyu narrowed his eyes and carefully identified it, hoping to identify Jiang Linyuan.

"It's on fire." A guard on the city suddenly pointed to the northeast corner of the enemy camp and shouted.

Xia Heyu looked up, and sure enough, he saw a cluster of white smoke rising there. The fire light was particularly dazzling but beautiful in the dark night.The fire spread rapidly in the dry night wind, and after a while, the originally silent night was disturbed by the noise of the enemy troops.

He quickly got down from the city wall and ordered the soldiers guarding the city gate to open the city gate. Regardless of everyone's objections, he stood alone outside the city gate, and even Guo Hong was not allowed to follow.

He wanted to wait here for Jiang Linyuan to come back, and Xia Heyu would reward him well when he came back.

Xia Heyu stood outside the city gate, waiting from the third watch to the fifth watch, watching the fire in the enemy camp be extinguished bit by bit, but Xia Heyu didn't even see Jiang Linyuan's shadow.

Xia Heyu started to get a little anxious, he didn't have any confidence in his heart now, and the chill at dawn was creeping up inch by inch along his toes.

Xia Heyu suddenly discovered that he was really reluctant. Earlier, he was reluctant to kill him and drove him out of Yangzhou City. Later, he was reluctant to die for his father and brought him back. Now he was reluctant to be buried in the Enemy camp.

At dawn, when the temperature was getting lower and lower, a thread in Xia Heyu's mind suddenly became clear in the night wind. He might not want to leave Jiang Linyuan anymore, he might wish to keep Jiang Linyuan by his side and not ask him to do anything , maybe it's just that he is there.

When Xia Heyu realized it, God gave him a chance to cherish. With a ray of light from the sky, Xia Heyu saw a person staggering towards the city gate.

Xia Heyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, ran up quickly, and grabbed the crumbling Jiang Linyuan.

Jiang Linyuan's body was covered with dust, and his disheveled black hair flew past him, covering his face. With streaks of black gray on his face, Jiang Linyuan looked a little crazy.

Even though he was in such a mess, Jiang Linyuan smiled like a rotten peach blossom, and the first thing he said when he saw Xia Heyu was, "Go back to General Xia, the enemy camp's food and grass will be destroyed."

It turned out that Jiang Linyuan hadn't come back for so long because he slipped back when he saw that the food and grass were almost burnt while he was among the crowd.

It was the first time Xia Heyu saw Jiang Linyuan, who had always been calm, smiling so childishly, even his eyes were crooked, Xia Heyu felt a little sour, and pulled Jiang Linyuan into his arms, holding him tightly.

Jiang Linyuan's chin rested on Xia Heyu's shoulder, and the smile suddenly froze on his face. It took a long time before he stammered and called out, "Xia... General Xia, what's wrong?"

Xia Heyu didn't answer him, and didn't know how to answer him, but he found that just hugging Jiang Linyuan like this would make him feel at ease.

The defenders on the city wall were already dumbfounded. Who would have thought that the usually serious general would make such a move.Only Guo Hong put on a look of surprise, because in his heart, these two people have long been connected.

Jiang Linyuan stood there blankly, as smart as he was, he already understood what Xia Heyu meant, but he really didn't expect that Xia Heyu would really think about him like this.

Xia Heyu's arms strangled Jiang Linyuan's body severely, and then let him go, without saying anything, his face was as stern as ever.But when Jiang Linyuan looked up at Xia Heyu's eyes, he saw that his eyes were red and covered with bloodshot eyes.

"General Xia..." Jiang Linyuan choked on the second half of the sentence, because Xia Heyu had already turned around and walked towards the city gate, his back looked a little arrogant, but Jiang Linyuan clearly saw a little fragility in it.

On this day, Jiang Linyuan became a great hero, Xia Heyu sent people to get a lot of food and things to send over, but he did not appear in front of Jiang Linyuan again, but stayed in the barracks, watching the training of the soldiers.

Jiang Linyuan didn't care about the messy things he sent, what he was thinking about was Xia Heyu's bloodshot eyes, staring straight at him, no one in this world has ever given Jiang Linyuan such eyes , That look that blends worry and peace of mind.

Xia Heyu was in the barracks, and he didn't actually have any thoughts on urging the soldiers to train, but his mind was full of things at dawn today. He had to admit to himself that the feeling of holding Jiang Linyuan in his arms made him a little addicted. Rushed over, still having the urge to hold him in his arms.It's just some remaining rationality that stopped him.

The two had their own concerns, so they were thinking about each other halfway across the city, until the arrival of a person temporarily blocked their thoughts.

"General, there is a man knocking on the door outside the city gate. It looks like an enemy general." A soldier guarding the city gate came to report.

Xia Heyu collected his thoughts and asked in a deep voice, "Is he alone?"

"He's the only one," said the soldier.

Xia Heyu climbed up to the city wall full of doubts and took a look, and sure enough, he saw a tall man standing under the city, wearing a fiery red cloak that fluttered in the wind, making him look like a soldier .

Xia Heyu took a closer look, and suddenly his heart was shocked. He found that he knew this person, was very familiar, and even said that he had been born and died with him.

The man outside the door was named Yuan Wendong. He was originally Xia Heyu's subordinate. He started out as a bandit and had been with Xia Heyu for many years.

Xia Heyu once took it to pacify the barbarians in the north, and after Yuan Wendong fell in love with a girl from the northern frontier, Xia Heyu became the beauty of an adult and left him to garrison in the north.However, he never expected that the army sent by the imperial court would be led by him.

When the city gate opened, Yuan Wendong first knelt on the ground on one knee, lowered his head and called Xia Heyu loudly: "General Xia."

Xia Heyu hadn't seen Yuan Wendong for a few years, and when he heard him call him that, he acted in a hostile posture, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Wendong, I never dreamed it would be you." Xia Heyu stood in front of Yuan Wendong, neither welcoming him into the city nor helping him, but said coldly.

"General, Wendong has no other choice." Yuan Wendong raised his face suddenly, and Xia Heyu took half a step back in shock. It turned out that the right half of his face was covered with scars, one by one, like insects crawling. full face.
