In the past few days, Baicheng is still impenetrable, and the battle situation is very stalemate.The Yong army was non-stop preparing for the next siege in Xianling City, and no one dared to relax their vigilance. The atmosphere in the army was tense.

Yao Xue has been supervising the drills of soldiers from all walks of life on the martial arts training ground in the barracks since the early morning, and the whole morning has passed without knowing it.After handing over to Bai Yu, he hurried back to the main city of Xianling, and went straight to the small courtyard where Qiu Chen lived.

Ever since Qiu Chen finished negotiating with Liang Mo that day, he has been reticent.He frowns every day, as if thinking about something, and rarely talks with others.

Qiu Chen was standing in front of the table at the moment, with his hands propped on the table, he was staring at the sand table in a daze.

He heard Yao Xue come in, but didn't look up.Seeing this, Yao Xue sat next to Qiu Chen, just watching him quietly without making a sound.

After a while, Qiu Chen frowned and asked, "Is there anyone in the army who is good at water?"

Yao Xue thought for a while, then said: "The team that Ji Xi is leading now is all soldiers who are good at water warfare, and they have fought in the sea in southern Xinjiang before."

Qiu Chen nodded, and seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief.He raised his head to look at Yao Xue and said, "Then send Ji Xi's team to Xiaxi, outflank the lake to the east of Baicheng? At the same time, we will attack the city from the front, what do you think?"

Xiaxi is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are many lakes. It borders both Baicheng and Xianling. At this moment, it is really a surprise to attack Baicheng from the east by water. It is a coup to catch the opponent by surprise.

Although Qiu Chen was always a little frivolous, when discussing serious matters, he was decisive and never hesitated, which made people look even a little fascinated.Yao Xue, who has been through the battlefield for a long time, admired Qiu Chen's ideas very much. He nodded and said, "It's indeed a good idea. On another day, I will lead the troops to attack the city from the main gate of Baicheng, and let Ji Xi take the waterway behind. With 2 people, we will definitely win this time.”

Qiu Chen sat on the chair a little tiredly, rubbed the center of his brows: "Since you think it is feasible, then this method must be right. You let Ji Xi leave at night, you don't need to inform Qi Yu. The commander dispatches troops, he has no right to interfere .”

Yao Xue responded. Seeing Qiu Chen's tired face, he felt very distressed, so he walked behind him and squeezed his shoulders and necks one after another, so as to relieve him.

Qiu Chen closed her long and narrow eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.He sighed, raised his hand to hold Yao Xue's hand, and said softly: "Changshu, I'm so tired. Am I..." When he said this, his voice gradually weakened, as if he was extremely disturbed: "You Said I am, always doing wrong things, always making wrong decisions, always making others hurt..."

When Yao Xue heard Qiu Chen say this, she felt her heart tighten.He held Qiuchen's hand with his backhand, and felt that the other person was trembling slightly, so he gently pinched the person's fingertips comfortingly.He was silent for a long while before he said, "Qiu Ziyin, you have done a good job."

Qiu Chen turned around and hugged Yao Xue's waist silently.He buried his head on Yao Xue's skirt, sniffed the familiar scent on the other person, and sighed softly.

Yao Xue stroked Qiuchen's head tenderly, and said slowly: "It will pass. As long as we are together, we will pass." At the same time, he couldn't help thinking in his heart that the two of them I just want to stay together and stay together, but why, why there are always so many things and so many difficulties straddling them.

The two were speechless for a while, and just hugged for a while in silence. Yao Xue raised her head and suddenly found that there were many medicinal herbs piled up on the cabinets in the room, as well as some utensils, which seemed to be unusual types.

Seeing this, Yao Xue was a little surprised, and asked Qiu Chen softly, "Have you been feeling unwell for the past two days? Why are there so many herbs in the room?"

Qiu Chen froze when he heard the words, knowing that Yao Xue had noticed the cabinet, he couldn't help feeling nervous, and replied somewhat unnaturally: "I've had a cough again in the past few days, and I feel a little uncomfortable, and I want to make some medicine. It’s not a big deal, you just need to suppress it a little, so as not to delay the battle.”

The two were too familiar, and Yao Xue knew it all too well. On weekdays, Qiuchen always talked to her in a familiar and slightly frivolous manner, but whenever the other party lied, her attitude would unconsciously become polite, which was actually very easy to detect.

Yao Xue knew that Qiu Chen was lying to him, but she didn't point it out, she just said very worriedly: "You've been working hard these days, and you haven't had too much rest. If you need to make medicine, I'll help you, as long as you don't worry about it all day long." They are all pretending. This time, they failed to break through Baicheng for a long time. It is true that Emperor Ningyuan stuffed a Qi Yu in. The repeated mistakes have nothing to do with your decision-making. Don’t always take all the responsibility on yourself. , or the body is more important."

Qiu Chen nodded obediently, raised his hand and squeezed Yao Xue's hand consolingly, and said softly: "Okay, I understand. Our general treats me so well, I will definitely obey the general's instructions, and I promise Don't let the general worry about it."

Because of the movement of raising his hand, Qiu Chen's wide sleeves fell to his elbows, revealing a section of fair wrist.Yao Xue suddenly saw a deep scar on the main meridian of the opponent's wrist.

It was a fresh wound, the wound hadn't healed yet, it looked short and deep, and it looked like it had been deliberately cut open with a dagger.

Yao Xue immediately raised her hand to grab Qiu Chen's wrist, and said in a deep voice, "Why is there an injury on your wrist?"

Qiu Chen was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked away from Yao Xue's concerned eyes: "I was injured on the battlefield earlier..."

Hearing this, Yao Xue could no longer just sit idly by, he raised his head, glanced at Qiu Chen reproachfully, and said anxiously: "On the battlefield, with me by your side, who can get close to you?" What's more, every time I come back, I will bandage and check for you, but I have never seen this wound before." Speaking of this, Yao Xue was almost heartbroken, and couldn't help raising her voice: "Such a scar , I am very familiar with it. Your body has just recovered, how can you start to refine Gu again? Every time you refine Gu, you need to let blood out, how much blood can you release?"

Yao Xue paused, a terrible conjecture crossed his mind, and tremblingly said: "Could it be possible for you to use Gu on the battlefield again? If you can't win the war, you can fight another day, but how many bodies do you have that you can use at will?" Are you messing around? Qiu Ziyin, you really..." Yao Xue's chest heaved violently when she said this, as if she was really angry.

Qiuchen's wrist was tightly held by Yao Xue, the wound hadn't healed yet, and it was slightly oozing blood after being squeezed.Qiu Chen was in pain, and suddenly withdrew his hand.He frowned slightly because of the pain, and after a while, he just lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "I didn't refine Gu."

Yao Xue had just seen the wound on Qiu Chen's hand, and when she realized that the other party had hurt her again, she became a little emotional.Now he calmed down a little bit, and when he saw Qiu Chen being hurt by him, his heart ached again.

With a final sigh, he leaned over to fetch the gauze, cleaned the wound carefully, and skillfully bandaged the other party up.

Yao Xue tied the end of the gauze into a beautiful knot, raised her eyes and looked at Qiuchen.Seeing Qiu Chen pursing his lips tightly and drooping his eyes without saying a word, he squeezed the other party's fingers, and said in a soft tone: "It was my fault just now, I was too anxious. But, Qiu Ziyin, You can't hide anything from me. I... I worry about you."

Qiu Chen silently took his hand out of Yao Xue's hand. He closed his eyes and sighed, "I really haven't refined Gu, but I have some special medicinal materials that need to be processed. Why don't you believe me? My body, I really can't stand the torment of the Gu worm. Besides, I know you love me, how can I have the heart to make you worry about me?" Qiu Chen raised his hand and pressed the center of his eyebrows, paused, as if I wanted to say something, but in the end I just said: "Chang Shu, I'm in a mess right now, please let me be quiet, okay?"

Yao Xue finally had no choice but to come out of the house.

Seeing Qiu Chen's distressed look, he didn't want to talk to him, and felt more and more depressed.Using human blood as a medicine is definitely not a mild medicine.Thinking of this, Yao Xue became more and more uneasy.

……

You Yi was called to Qi Yu's residence early in the morning.

As Qi Yu's confidant over the years, he has always been on call.Qi Yu was kind to him in saving his life, and even gave him the antidote to his eye diseases. Youyou has always been very grateful and respectful to him.

You Yi pushed open the door and walked into the room. Qi Yu had just dressed, he drove out the people who served him in the room, got up and walked to the cabinet, and reached out to take out a small bottle from the innermost mezzanine.

You Yi turned around when he heard the other party approaching him.Qi Yu has trusted him very much over the years, and he doesn't shy away from some things, but Youyou still feels a little embarrassed from time to time.

Qi Yu didn't notice You Yi's mentality, just handed him the small bottle, and said: "Find a chance, and put this bottle in that prince's meal."

You Yi looked at the bottle carefully, opened the lid and smelled it, and asked a little puzzled, "You...you want to poison him?"

Qi Yu seemed to be in a good mood, nodded and said: "Be sure to cover up your eyes and ears, and do it naturally. I can rest assured that you will handle things."

You Yi looked at the medicine bottle in his hand, with a little hesitation on his face: "...What kind of poison is this? Is it fatal?"

Hearing this, Qi Yu narrowed his eyes, and said slightly displeased: "You have a lot of problems today." He raised his eyes and looked You Yi up and down, and finally said: "What do you want you to do? Just do whatever you want, I don't have subordinates who talk nonsense."

In the end, You Yi had no choice but to agree, and exited the room embarrassingly.

He returned to his residence, and sat in the yard thinking a little bored.

In the past many years, You You has done countless errands for Qi Yu, and also killed many people whom the other party ordered him to kill.But this time, for some reason, he hesitated.

Qiu Chen's appearance is unique, You You admits that he has selfish intentions, he prefers the most beautiful people, and he doesn't want to see them suffer.But he also knew in his heart that from the moment he saw Yao Xue in Yanyang, something had quietly changed.

When You Yi was picked up by Qi Yu back then, his eyes were destroyed and his memory was damaged.He doesn't know who he is, and he doesn't know anything about his past.For many years, he believed whatever Qi Yu said, and he never had the slightest objection.But recently, he always felt that something that had been deeply covered up was about to come to light.

Wandering endlessly thinking, he raised his eyes and saw a sparrow on the ground pecking at a small insect.With a slight movement in his heart, he opened the lid of the small medicine bottle, tilted the bottle slightly, and dropped a drop of medicine on the bug.

The sparrow quickly swallowed the bug.After a while, the sparrow suddenly fell to the ground, and then, black blood oozes from its whole body.The black blood seemed to have a corrosive effect, and even burned a black spot on the bluestone ground.

When you saw this, you couldn't help being shocked.He knew that Qi Yu was cruel, but the other party had never given him such a cruel thing before.You Yi stared at the pool of black blood on the ground, and suddenly felt dizzy, followed by a severe headache.At the same time, his eyes were in pain, and his vision was blurry.

You Yi didn't know what was wrong with him at the moment, he just felt pain all over his body that couldn't be worsened.He exhausted all his strength and slowly moved under the tree in the middle of the courtyard.

There was no one in the courtyard, You You finally sat down against the tree trunk out of breath, he looked up at the blurry sky, only felt that the glare of the sky made him feel sick.So he slowly took out a handkerchief from his cuff, and put it on his eyes lightly.

You Yi just raised his head and began to recall the past, there were many vague phantoms flying in his mind, which seemed to be some extremely happy memories, trying to break through the cage of memory, but in the end it was all futile.

In the deepest part of the memory, there is always someone calling him, and he can't hear the specifics of the calling, but You You knows deep down in his heart that he seems to be very happy to answer the other party's call.

He just sat under the tree in a daze for a while, his mind was like a pot of boiling water, chaotic and anxious, until a voice rang in his ears, that voice and the call deep in his memory Overlapping together, let him fall back to reality in an instant.

"What are you doing sitting under a tree?"

With trembling hands, You Yi took off the veil on his face, he opened his eyes, and saw Yao Xue standing in front of him, staring at him with trembling pupils.
