The first favorite of rebirth

It snowed all night, covering everything in the world with snow, Liuzhou City was also extraordinarily quiet because of the snow, Black Mountain was still towering into the clouds, a layer of white snow fell on the steep mountain wall, black and white contrasted, very spectacular.

Jue Yun had already been carried by the sergeants into the Liuzhou government residence where they were temporarily staying. Pei Jiqing gently placed him on the bed, quickly brought hot water and ointment, and removed his clothes.The child was already scorching hot, and there were blood-stained wounds all over his body, especially the vicious whip wound on his chest. I don't know how much force he used, but it was able to scratch the soft armor inside him.

Pei Jiqing's heart was twisted and hurt. He wiped off the blood and mud for the child, and then sat aside and waited for the doctor to take his pulse. The military doctor felt his pulse and said, "Master Lang is fine, his body is covered with skin trauma, but The battle situation is urgent, so the wind and chill are stimulated."

Only then did Pei Jiqing feel relieved, and he sent the doctor away, but he never sat down, and kept staring at Jueyun by the bed.

Xiao Wansheng took some food and said: "Eat something first, after running all night, aren't you tired?"

"Damn me." Pei Jiqing lowered his head and sat down a little staggeringly, "This kid is too desperate, he dared to lurk into the camp of the prince of the Liao Kingdom, what if the eldest prince really kills him? If he wants to make meritorious service, he can't..."

"You can't blame the baby." Xiao Wansheng looked at Jueyun, who was seriously injured, and his words softened, "It was the old dog Yelu who was ambushing at the Black Mountain Pass, and Jueyun accidentally fell into his way. I rushed over there so I didn’t notify you.”

After hearing Xiao Wansheng's explanation, Pei Jiqing realized that the sneak attack tonight was not a deliberate arrangement by Jue Yun himself. He chased out from Liuzhou City, and just happened to encounter the ambush guarded by the First Prince at the Heishan Pass, and killed him. Hundreds of soldiers surrounded it.Liuzhou is in a hurry, and Lin He is staring at it with his men and horses. The eldest prince is already very anxious; he has been fighting all the year round, and he knows Xia Chengxi and other generals very well, so when he saw the precious sword in Jue Yun's hand, he thought it was Xia Chengxi's nephew, Tang Wei, Marquis of Xuanping, took his troops and Jue Yun to the Heishan Pass, trying to capture him alive.

Jueyun saw that Yeluhetu did not intend to kill him, so he pretended to surrender, and returned to the Liao camp with the remaining dozens of soldiers. Carrier pigeons are often used in the Liao army to deliver messages. Seriously injured, he stole a carrier pigeon to Liuzhou from the guard, and briefly wrote a few words about his situation.The carrier pigeon flew to the Liuzhou government according to the previous habit. Xiao Wansheng felt that the opportunity was fleeting, so he went straight to the Heishan Camp in Liao Kingdom overnight before notifying Pei Jiqing.When Jueyun heard the situation ahead, he secretly set fire to the rear, and cooperated with Xiao Wansheng, but he didn't expect that this Yeluhetu actually had a lot of backbone, and he dared to charge into the battle, and hit his own sword.

Pei Jiqing froze on the spot, thinking that Jueyun was only a hair's breadth away from life and death, his face paled suddenly, at this moment a soldier came to report that although Jueyun failed to kill Yeluhetu with a sword, he did seriously wound him, Yeluhetu hid in the depths of the desert with his damaged troops, and was rescued by the general of the Liao Kingdom who responded from the rear.

"I'll go ahead and take a look, you take care of him." Xiao Wansheng looked at Pei Jiqing, and suddenly said harshly: "I know you want him to be a big deal, but the baby is still young, so please be more polite."

Pei Jiqing sat blankly in front of the bed, looking at Jue Yun's bruised body and burnt pink face, he couldn't help but sighed softly.He took off his clothes slowly, and stood in the snow for a long time in only his middle coat, until his body was completely cool, then ran into the house shivering, and held Jue Yun in his arms; the child was still in a coma, and suddenly Feeling something cool and comfortable to the touch, he pressed it firmly against his body.

Pei Jiqing kissed the top of Jue Yun's head, frowned and closed her eyes.

Although he failed to kill the First Prince, Liuzhou City has indeed completely returned to the hands of the Han people. After three days, the Han people in the city rushed to tell each other, welcoming the army of the Great Zhou.The Han people in the city have been living under the rule of the Liao Kingdom, and they can't even write a few Chinese characters. However, the Liao people have never regarded these people as their own subjects. Therefore, these people have lived in Liao for many years, and they always fantasize about going back to the south to see the peach blossoms and willows in Linyu Pass.

In the small courtyard at noon, Pei Jiqing was looking up at the majestic Black Mountain in the distance. He pondered for a long time before taking the dry towels from the charcoal basin in the kitchen and walking into the room with a hot water basin.

That night, Pei Jiqing froze himself in the snow three or four times before Jue Yun slowly recovered from his high fever and woke up from a coma. However, although Jue Yun didn't tell him to go back, he desperately wanted Pei Jiqing to sleep By my side, I even talked to him a lot less.

The lunch was already on the table, and sure enough there were some beef and mutton products. Pei Jiqing picked out some light dishes, put them on a plate, brought them to the bed, and said softly, "Jueyun, do you want to eat something?"

Jue Yun didn't speak, the sound of even breathing could be heard from the bed curtain, the child seemed to be still sound asleep.Pei Jiqing probed his forehead and felt that Jue Yun's fever had subsided a lot, so he went back to the kitchen and made some things. Although Liuzhou City is not big, it is much more prosperous than Dingzhou, which has been in constant war. It was richer. Pei Jiqing took some lily plums and put them on a few pieces of white and soft glutinous rice parfait. The pastries were white and transparent, and the deep pink plums inside could be clearly seen. It looked sweet and sour.

Pei Jiqing returned to the room with her things, opened the bed curtain and sat beside him, but Jue Yun still didn't seem to wake up, so Pei Jiqing had no choice but to put down the pastry and wait quietly by his side.After that night, Jue Yun seemed to have lost some weight, his face became more angular, and he looked more and more like an adult.There were also some shallow scars on his face. Pei Jiqing took a small box of ointment from the bed and rubbed it on the wound for him.

After waking up that day, Jueyun told everyone what happened to him, and even went to pay homage to the dead soldiers. Only [-] soldiers who were surrounded with him survived. Listening to their description, Jueyun was in the dark. He was attacked in the dark valley, and even his eyes were pierced with blood, and he almost died.

In fact, no need for them to say anything, Pei Jiqing also knows how much hardship Jueyun has experienced in the depths of the Black Mountain. Just last night, Pei Jiqing woke up at night and saw Jueyun sitting in the bed tent, staring at the ceiling silently. daze.

At this moment, Pei Jiqing untied Jue Yun's belt again, and rubbed the ointment on the wound on his chest. Three days later, although the child's fever subsided a little, his body was still hot, and the wound on his chest had slowly healed. It's just that blood was still faintly oozing, Pei Jiqing looked at the scars on Jue Yun's snow-white skin, thinking that he was still angry with him before, he felt really uncomfortable.

Although this was a temporary counter-kill, Jueyun was still fighting with all his strength on the battlefield. Pei Jiqing thought of the smiling face he showed in the heavy snow that day, and suddenly felt that he was pushing him too hard—it was because he grew longer. No matter how strong Gao is, the child is only 13 years old. If he is in the capital right now, he should be playing and having fun in the school instead of fighting to the death here.

"Uncle Pei?"

Jue Yun didn't know when he woke up, so he shouted in a muffled voice, "I got up later than you."

"Your voice is still hoarse, don't talk!" Pei Jiqing drank in a low voice, then froze on the spot for a moment, then said softly: "I didn't mean to hurt you, your throat is inflamed, so don't talk yet."

"Why are you being so polite?" Jue Yun said softly, "I'm not even used to it."

"No..." Pei Jiqing stretched out her hand to press the corner of the quilt for him, and changed the subject: "You didn't get up late, you're fine now, it's cold outside, you should sleep more."

"Ai."

Jue Yun agreed in a low voice, his voice became so soft that he wanted to be pinched twice, he immediately wrapped the quilt tightly and crawled into the corner, as if there was a place for Pei Jiqing to sit, and Pei Jiqing buttoned the plum cake In the porcelain basin, I put the ointment towel by myself, lay down beside Jueyun slowly, rubbed him lightly, and said, "Since I woke up that day, why have you refused to sleep with me? You have grown up, so you hate him. Am I getting old with this bed warmer?"

"I didn't, I told you all, I'm afraid you'll catch the cold too." Jue Yun heard him joking, but didn't turn around, instead kicked him, saying: "Hurry up and get down."

"You are the wind and cold caused by the injury, not the cold, so you are not afraid of contagion." Pei Jiqing made up an excuse at random, put his hand into the quilt of Jueyun, and said, "Don't be angry, I was wrong this time, if you If you are not happy, just beat me up."

"I'm not unhappy, I'm really afraid that you'll get sick." Jue Yun turned around, saw Pei Jiqing's pale face, and whispered, "What's wrong with you? You look so ugly."

Pei Jiqing rogue smiled, and said: "You ignore me, and I can't sleep anymore, wondering if His Highness blamed me for not serving me well."

"I really didn't!" Jue Yun suddenly felt aggrieved. After hearing this, he didn't care about the wind and cold, and directly rubbed his body into Pei Jiqing's arms, wrapped his hands around his waist, and said in a low voice: "Pei Jiqing Uncle, if you changed what happened that day, anyone would misunderstand me, I really don’t blame you, and don’t blame yourself, or I’ve done a great job, and I’ll feel bad.”

"I just feel that you have done meritorious service, but you feel uncomfortable." Pei Jiqing couldn't help asking, "Let me ask you, what's the matter with being depressed these days? Do you think you can do it again?" Didn't you kill the eldest prince?"

Jueyun didn't speak, just held his chest with puffy face, Pei Jiqing felt that she couldn't help taking a tone of questioning, so she whispered: "I didn't blame you, in fact, I was also at fault, you are a child, I shouldn't be pushing you too hard. Otherwise, anyway, Liuzhou City is also taken, and you have the credit. Let's go back to Dingzhou. It's just the twelfth lunar month. I'll make dumplings for you for the New Year, and I'm buying some red firecrackers. Let's live together, okay...?"

"Uncle Pei." Pei Jiqing was chattering kindly, but Jueyun interrupted without thinking, "Go and buy me candied haws, I want to eat candied haws."

This Liuzhou city is in war, so there is no one selling candied haws, so Pei Jiqing said: "I brought you a plum cake, which is also sweet and sour, can you eat that?"

Jue Yun said unrelentingly: "I want to eat candied haws."

"Good good."

It is rare for a child to be self-willed. Pei Jiqing hurriedly got up, put on a cloak and went out. He couldn't buy candied haws, so he had to boil the candy himself. For sugar coating, he took the candies to the snow and chilled them for a while, barely set them in shape, then threaded them on with bamboo sticks used for barbecue, and hurriedly brought them into the room for Jue Yun.

Pei Jiqing hadn't entered the door yet, but he heard whimpering in the air. When he walked in gently, he found that Jueyun was clutching the quilt tightly, tears kept rolling from his eyes, and there was a burst of crying in his crying. Continuous panting.

Jue Yun has always been a strong child and never cried in front of others, even for Pei Jiqing, so he deliberately drove him away.Pei Jiqing panicked, and didn't know what she said was inappropriate, so she hurriedly stepped forward to pat him on the back, and said, "Okay, okay, you want to be here, if we don't go home, or you really If you don't want to talk to me, I'll go back alone and leave immediately, is that okay?"

"Where's the candied haws?" Jue Yun wiped his tears fiercely, but couldn't stop at all. He pushed Pei Jiqing and said, "I asked you to buy candied haws, why did you come back?"

"I made candied haws and put them on the table." Pei Jiqing lowered his voice, pulled Jue Yun out of the quilt and sat down, and said, "Even if you beat me and scold me, we have to explain it. It's been three days. Why are you so depressed, if you want to hold back like this, I will have to accompany you to suffocate to death."

Hearing this, Jue Yun couldn't hold back his tears anymore. He threw himself on Pei Jiqing, sobbing all the time, as if he had cried out all the tears he had held back for a long time. Although Pei Jiqing didn't know why he was so sad, He could only hold the child tightly in his arms, and said softly: "Forget it, don't say it if you don't say it, just cry."

"Uncle Pei, I dare not tell you because I am afraid that you will think that I am a woman..."

The two hugged each other for a long time before Jueyun panted and opened his mouth slowly. He leaned his whole body on Pei Jiqing and inhaled in a low voice: "Hundreds of us went out together, but only a few dozen came back... I I have fought desperately, but they still can't go home..."

Holding Pei Jiqing in his arms, he finally understood why he was so uncomfortable. Jueyun had been going smoothly in Mobei all the way during his military training. This time, the setback was not due to a woman's kindness. It was just that Jueyun finally felt that as a general, What a burden is on your shoulders.

Once the success is achieved, it will be more than ten thousand bones. Although Pei Jiqing can tell a lot of truths, he can't bear to say it, so he stretches out his arms to hug Jue Yun, and gently strokes his slightly trembling back with his hands. , I hope that the tenderness of this bit of physical contact can slightly weaken the hard work he has suffered in the snowy day.
