The general said she doesn't take a wife
Chapter 25 Shaking
When Lin Aoxue left, she didn't wear military uniforms, but changed into civilian clothes, went to the market to buy some ready-made clothes, and then left Xingbei Pass hand in hand with Yunyan.
After leaving the customs, they each put on coarse clothes and pretended to be farmers outside the customs. Lin Aoxue took up a burden, shoulder to shoulder with Yun Yan, and the two walked forward along the path outside the customs while talking and laughing.
After walking for a certain distance, occasionally passers-by would subconsciously glance at Lin Aoxue. At first Lin Aoxue didn't care, but Yunyan frowned, thinking about the reason.
She turned her head and glanced at the mask on Lin Aoxue's face, with a look of hesitation on her face, and proposed in a gentle voice:
"Aoxue, if you don't take off the mask, your appearance must be familiar to the barbarians. Wearing this mask can easily be recognized by others."
The mask on Lin Aoxue's face is a very obvious feature. She went to the battlefield several times before and fought against the barbarian army. Many barbarians remember her appearance. Now they hide their identities and go outside the customs to investigate the news. Lin Aoxue continues to wear a mask. It is indeed easy to provoke people doubt.
What Yun Yan said made sense, but Lin Aoxue frowned. She was stroking the mask with one hand, and the long hair hanging down her ears covered the complicated expression on her face.Seeing her hesitant look, Yunyan couldn't help but think of the encounter in Yanyulou in the past, Lin Aoxue was furious because Yueqin touched the mask on her face.
What kind of secret is hidden behind that mask?
Yun Yan was curious several times in her heart, but it stopped at courtesy.
Lin Aoxue hesitated for a long time, and finally raised her head. Her gaze was very calm, and then she calmly removed the mask from Yun Yan's astonished gaze.
Yun Yan held her breath, her eyes showing uncontrollable surprise.
On that originally handsome face, the hideous marks left by the hot coals, unexpectedly stung Yun Yan's heart.
The intertwined scars almost covered half of Lin Aoxue's right cheek, making her look even more sinister after taking off the mask. Fortunately, the sun was bright at this time. If she suddenly saw such a face in the dark night, she would definitely think There are evil spirits coming to claim their lives.
Yunyan is a doctor, so she has seen many hideous scars. She has also seen scars that were more serious than Lin Aoxue's face. Therefore, after a brief surprise, Yunyan immediately came back to her senses, her brows were slightly frowned, and her eyes were full of scars. Reflecting heartfelt distress.
"Why do you..." She frowned, took a step forward, and raised her hand to caress Lin Aoxue's cheek, but the latter subconsciously tilted her head, and Yun Yan sighed helplessly, "When did you get this injury?"
Only then did she belatedly understand why Lin Aoxue didn't care so much about whether the arrow wounds on her body would leave scars or not. For a girl with such ugly and hideous scars on her face, she had lost all thoughts about her appearance long ago. I never thought that one day, I would show this side to others.
"It was when my parents passed away."
Lin Aoxue's gaze dropped, she turned her face away stiffly, subconsciously trying to hide that half of her burnt cheek.
Yun Yan felt very distressed, the girls in the Yan Yu building were most concerned about their appearance, if they accidentally cut a small wound, they would cry for days.
Although Lin Aoxue is not as delicate as the Yingying and Yanyan in the Yanyu Tower, she is still a girl who cares about her appearance. She has appeared in front of people for so many years with such injuries, and she has endured many cruel words.
At this moment, she felt that she was too cruel, why did she propose to let Lin Aoxue take off the mask? To Lin Aoxue, this was really a cruel thing.
No one is willing to show their wounds in front of others, Lin Aoxue's complexion became paler and paler, she gritted her teeth, and asked tentatively:
"Isn't it ugly?"
She was very disturbed, she was not as calm and calm as when she took off the mask in front of Bei Chenlong.Yun Yan was very beautiful and delicate. If she hadn't been injured, she might have the courage to look at him, but the scars on her face made her feel ashamed.
The ugly burns brought her endless pain, which made her deeply remember the raging fire in the house and the more than 100 innocent souls who died in the house that day, and made her write the unforgettable hatred into her flesh and blood, becoming branded, engraved on her face.
Taking off the mask is like taking off the disguise she wears all the year round, taking off her cold shell and pretended strength.
Yun Yan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly woke up. She did not spare her tenderness, and opened her arms to hug Lin Aoxue tightly.
"Not ugly."
she says.
"Don't be afraid."
Yun Yan softly comforted Lin Aoxue, and she found that those ferocious appearances were just a timid disguise of the person in her arms. Lin Aoxue looked so fierce, but in fact she was soft and delicate, sensitive and suspicious.
Those soft words, like lingering spring rain, fell on Lin Aoxue's dry and scarred heart, stirring up gorgeous ripples layer after layer.
Lin Aoxue's straight back was no longer stiff, her slightly drooping eyelids hid her gentle and delicate thoughts, and the moment Yun Yan raised her eyes to meet her, she quietly concealed her traces.
"Don't be afraid, I will help you."
Yun Yan looked at Lin Aoxue's dull and pale cheeks, and said one more sentence.
Lin Aoxue pursed her lips, not knowing how to respond.
Yunyan pulled Lin Aoxue to sit down on the stone by the roadside, then took out some ointment from the package she carried with her, and began to tinker with Lin Aoxue's face under Lin Aoxue's nervous gaze.
After about a stick of incense, Yunyan raised the corners of her lips in satisfaction, and dragged Lin Aoxue to find a nearby clear pool, and led her to look into the water.
Lin Aoxue has long been used to seeing her own appearance, except for the sadness that she was never used to from the beginning to the end, there was no other emotional ups and downs.But seeing that Yunyan was so excited, she couldn't help feeling a ray of anticipation in her heart.
She swallowed nervously, then carefully stuck out her head.
A familiar face was clearly reflected on the calm water, but Lin Aoxue was taken aback suddenly, her eyes widened in surprise.
I don't know what method Yunyan used, but she saw that the ugly scar on her right cheek that almost covered half of her face was covered up, and there were some inconspicuous marks on the edge. If you don't look carefully, it is Can't find it.
Her eyebrows and eyes are delicate and natural, without the hideous scar, and her appearance is also very attractive. There is a slight overlap with her once immature appearance in her distant memory, but she soon separated and became two completely different people.
Lin Aoxue was extremely shocked, she raised her head abruptly, stared at Yunyan who pursed her lips and smiled, "you" didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
"how did you do it?"
Lin Aoxue bit her tongue several times before finally straightening out this sentence.
Yunyan didn't give a shit either, she leaned closer to Lin Aoxue, and took a closer look at the traces left on the edge of the scar. While thinking about the countermeasures in her heart, she winked at Lin Aoxue and said with a smile:
"I know disguise."
After finishing speaking, in order to prove it to Lin Aoxue, she turned around and fiddled with her own face. When she turned her head again, except for the trace of charm that belonged to her still remained between her eyebrows and eyes, her appearance had changed. She looks ordinary, quite different from before, she really looks like a peasant woman.
Lin Aoxue opened her mouth wide. She had heard of the Yirong Technique, but she had never learned it. Master Hongming believed that the Yirong Technique was a heretic skill, and she was not allowed to delve into it.
And she was begging on the street at that time, because of the terrible burns on her face, she was often scolded by others, and she was always hungry in the cold winter months, and was later taken away by Master Hongming, thinking of revenge, and there were few clean people in the temple , She gradually forgot the pain caused by the wound on her face.
Until she came down from the mountain, everyone avoided her like a snake and a scorpion, and a child running around on the street bumped into her. When she looked up, she was frightened and burst into tears. Take a look at her.
She happened to stop in front of a small mask making stall. A mottled mask on the stall looked particularly dark among the many colorful masks, but Lin Aoxue caught it right away. She asked the vendor to make half of the mask, and then He left the money, turned around and disappeared among the people coming and going.
Once the mask was put on, it seemed to grow on her face, and it could never be taken off.
Yunyan's versatility was beyond Lin Aoxue's imagination, she stared blankly at Yunyan's smiling face, and felt as if there were turbulent waves struggling to make noise in her heart.Just like what Yunyan said to herself earlier, not only did she not hold back, but once again, she helped her a lot.
Lin Aoxue was a little distracted, she stretched out her hand in a daze, and gently caressed her face under Yun Yan's surprised gaze, but when she touched the soft and moist skin, she retracted it like an electric shock, and a flash of light flashed across her eyes. Fleeing panic, but forced himself to say calmly:
"It turns out that there really is such a miraculous skill in the world."
Yun Yan didn't notice Lin Aoxue's strangeness, she smiled after being praised, and said with a smile:
"What kind of miraculous skill is this? It's just a trick to deceive people. If I have enough time in the future, I will try to find a way to help you get rid of the scar on your face, okay?"
She took Lin Aoxue's arm and gently persuaded that no girl would be willing to live a lifetime with a crippled face.
But Lin Aoxue didn't care so much about the scars on her face. She took off her mask, faced Yun Yan directly, and crossed the most difficult hurdle, which made her heart open.
She thought, if there is really a gentle and meticulous person in the world who deserves to be treated sincerely, maybe that person is Yunyan.Every gentle word of Yunyan, every soft smile on her eyebrows, and every clever look in her eyes will rescue her from the mire bit by bit.
She didn't know what kind of emotion was stirring in her heart at this time, but she subconsciously covered up and escaped, and then another kind of panic rose up, lest she stained this red lotus that was not stained by mud with blood on her hands.
cloud smoke.
Lin Aoxue read it silently in her heart.
She is willing to work harder to open a window in her heart for Yunyan, hide those unspeakable secrets, and get closer to each other with more sincere kindness.
Even so, she will be at risk of injury.
However, as a human being, there are always some unknown reasons that make her courage. If she hadn't met Yunyan, maybe even she herself would have forgotten what she was like before.
"it is good."
she answered softly.
Although she didn't have any expectations, and she didn't really want to change her appearance, but Yun Yan said that she wanted to give it a try, and she felt that it would be okay to try.
The smile on Yunyan's face made it rare for Lin Aoxue to show a smile. Under the reflection of the sun, her soft eyebrows and eyes seemed to look a little different from before.
They left the woods and found a nearby village. Because this place was very close to Xingbei Pass, the barbarian stragglers did not come here. The people in the village were busy with the autumn harvest, and the fields were full of golden grain and grass.
They observed the topography of the village around the village, then passed through the village and went further.
After traveling hundreds of miles, the two finally found traces of barbarian iron hoofs in a deep mountain. In a burned village, there were charred corpses everywhere. Lin Aoxue carefully sneaked into the village with clouds of smoke, searching for the traces left by the barbarians.
Yunyan accidentally stepped on a wooden board under her feet, but her bloody and bloody palm slipped from the gap. Yunyan turned her head and threw herself into Lin Aoxue's arms in shock. A black board, and a barbarian machete was found on the body.
They walked around the village again, and Lin Aoxue concluded that the barbarians hadn't gone far, because the burnt bricks and tiles were still steaming with uncooled gray smoke.
Yun Yan asked Lin Aoxue what to do, how could they catch up with the barbarian's cavalry with their speed.
Lin Aoxue smiled lightly and said "Excuse me", and then pretended to be calm and hugged Yunyan by the waist.
Yunyan exclaimed, and subconsciously hugged Lin Aoxue's neck tightly. Lin Aoxue didn't look directly into Yunyan's eyes. Advance rapidly towards the hinterland of the barbarians.
Yunyan was still a little nervous at the beginning, but when she felt that Lin Aoxue was more nervous than she was, she smiled again and let Lin Aoxue hold her, enjoying the process of traveling hundreds of miles a day without walking by herself.
Lin Aoxue followed the barbarian's horseshoe prints with Yunyan in her arms and searched for them for two days. She carefully avoided the scouts of the barbarians. Finally found the traces of the barbarian stragglers.
They followed the stragglers carefully, and everything went smoothly, but something happened when they continued to search in a dense forest near the barbarian grassland.
Lin Aoxue was carrying a bundle of firewood on her back. Yunyan was wearing shabby peasant women's clothes, disguised as a 40-[-]-year-old, walking beside Lin Aoxue, picking up a piece of firewood from the ground from time to time, and throwing it into the pile of firewood on Lin Aoxue's back.
While they were walking, they were chatting about family matters, suddenly, Lin Aoxue stopped, and under Yunyan's suspicious eyes, she suddenly threw away the basket, threw herself forward, hugged Yunyan tightly and rolled on the spot.
There were a few soft bangs, and a few darts sank into the place where Yunyan was standing before.
Yun Yan didn't know yet, so Lin Aoxue turned over, took out the dagger hidden on the side of the shoe, and hit with a backhand.
There was a clang of gold and iron clashing, and a sharp scimitar rested on the dagger in Lin Aoxue's hand, shaking her arm.
Lin Aoxue shielded Yunyan behind her, and fought against the comer, the dagger and scimitar collided from time to time, making clanking sounds.
It was the first time for Yunyan to see Lin Aoxue fighting against barbarians at such a close distance. She found that Lin Aoxue's moves were fast and ruthless. Although the person who came was strong in martial arts, he was not Lin Aoxue's opponent. In order to end the battle as soon as possible, Lin Aoxue had no reservations, but Just ten strokes, the dagger in her hand cut the throat of the visitor.
In contrast, when Lin Aoxue fought against those thugs in the misty rain building, she didn't even use [-]% of her strength, just like an adult playing house with ten toddlers.
But just as Lin Aoxue dealt with one assassin, another person jumped from the tree and went straight towards Yunyan.
The man turned into a black afterimage, the scimitar in his hand was glowing with the cold light of death, and he came to Yunyan in an instant, the sunlight was projected on the knife, stinging her eyes, causing her to close them subconsciously.
Lin Aoxue quickly turned around, raised her head calmly, her arm shook, and the dagger flew out of her hand, aiming at the shadow's vital point, attacking the enemy will save her!
Feeling the dagger coming, the black shadow forcibly twisted his body in the air to avoid the fatal blow. Lin Aoxue took this opportunity to jump up and rushed to Yunyan before the second knife fell.
Yun Yan heard the muffled sound of a sharp weapon entering her body, and immediately scorching blood spattered her face.
All at the flick of a finger.
She opened her eyes in fear, and saw Lin Aoxue's slender back standing in front of her, the sharp machete pierced Lin Aoxue's side waist, and came out from behind.
Lin Aoxue's face was pale, but her expression was still indifferent, the blade pierced from the waist, she calmly grabbed the wrist of the visitor, and squeezed it hard.
The assassin's hand bones were shattered, and a scream came from his mouth. Lin Aoxue stabbed the man's eyes with two fingers, and when the man covered his eyes and retreated, he took another step forward, picked up the dagger that had just fallen to the ground with his toes, and moved coherently Pour the dagger into the assassin's chest.
"Come on!"
Lin Aoxue tore off the scimitar on her side, covered the wound on her side, and said anxiously to Yunyan.
Yunyan was woken up by Lin Aoxue's voice, a look of panic flashed across her face, she quickly came to Lin Aoxue's side and held her arm, just about to check how Lin Aoxue was injured, Lin Aoxue raised her hand to stop her:
"Let's find a place to hide first."
Lin Aoxue pressed the wound hard, trying to slow down the blood loss, Yun Yan supported her, and the two stumbled away from the place where the accident happened. After walking for a while, they found a hidden cave and hid.
They got into the cave, Yun Yan wanted to check Lin Aoxue's wound immediately, but Lin Aoxue asked Yun Yan to go outside the cave first to see if there was any blood left.
Yunyan knew that the situation was urgent, and she might attract the barbarian army if she was not careful, so after a short hesitation, she followed Lin Aoxue's suggestion and went outside the cave to clean up the footprints and bloodstains left when she came.
Lin Aoxue sat leaning against the rock, and the piercing pain from the wound stimulated her mind, making her extremely clear-headed even though her body was extremely exhausted.
Panting heavily, she analyzed the reason for today's enemy attack. The enemy's scouts were alert enough. Although she and Yun Yan looked the same, there were very few people nearby. The barbarians would rather kill by mistake than let them go. , locked them.
They dispatched a master with good martial arts to attack from the secret, intending to kill the two of them silently in one fell swoop.
In this case, she had to fight back.
Lin Aoxue closed her eyes, her thoughts were chaotic, thinking about what to do next.
The barbarian scouts were more powerful than she had expected, no wonder so many scouts sent by Bei Chenlong fell on these people.
Yun Yan came back soon, she lit the fire folder, and found Lin Aoxue by the faint light of the fire, and wanted to check Lin Aoxue's injury.
Lin Aoxue didn't refuse this time, she still closed her eyes, this time the injury was on her side, no matter how shy she was, she had to take off all her shirt to bandage the wound.
Yun Yan successfully lifted off Lin Aoxue's clothes, revealing the woman's slender body and the bloody incision on her waist hidden under the wet clothes.The incision was not long, but it was very deep, piercing through Lin Aoxue's side waist, and coming out from the back.
The light in the cave was dim, Yunyan could barely see the wound clearly only with the light of Huozhezi, even so, she was still pale with fright.
She was worried that the knife would hurt Lin Aoxue's internal organs, so she checked it very carefully. Fortunately, Lin Aoxue was lucky, and although the knife was dangerous, it wiped the internal organs, so the problem was not serious.
She carefully cleaned up the wound on Lin Aoxue's waist, but she couldn't help but recall the scene that broke into her eyes at the thrilling moment just now.Lin Aoxue suffered this knife to save her, she said it swearingly when she left the customs, but in the end she still dragged Lin Aoxue back.
Lin Aoxue opened her eyes, glanced at Yunyan, and saw that the latter was resting on the side of the wound, but seemed to be distracted and motionless, Lin Aoxue frowned slightly, and called out softly:
"Smoke."
There was a trace of pain and guilt in Yunyan's eyes, she pursed her lips tightly, and bandaged Lin Aoxue's wound with all her heart.Although the cave was dim, Lin Aoxue's gaze was fixed on Yunyan's face, so she could clearly see the flashing expression in her eyes.
"I said I would protect you."
Since it is what she said, she should do her best to practice it.
Yunyan lowered her eyelids, and remained silent in a rare way.The roles of the two seemed to be reversed, Lin Aoxue forced a smile on her face, and comforted Yunyan in a clumsy way:
"I'm fine, and besides, aren't you still here?"
Seeing that Yunyan was still silent, Lin Aoxue was a little anxious, and said whatever came to her mind:
"Look, if someone else is with me, I'm injured, but I can only wait to die."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Yunyan was surprisingly angry.
Lin Aoxue's neck twitched, and she didn't dare to say any more.
Yun Yan glared at Lin Aoxue fiercely again, then applied medicine to stop the bleeding for Lin Aoxue as quickly as possible, and bandaged the wound.Although her movements were quick, her five fingers trembled imperceptibly.
It wasn't until Lin Aoxue put on her clothes again that Yunyan's expression softened a little. She tied the belt for Lin Aoxue herself, and she took extra care not to strangle the wound.
"Don't work so hard in the future."
After being silent for a long time, Yun Yan finally spoke up.
Lin Aoxue looked at Yunyan cautiously, seeing that the latter looked normal, but always pursed his lips, showing a sad look, Lin Aoxue was worried that Yunyan's anger was still lingering, so she nodded obediently, not daring to say more.
"what should I do now?"
Yun Yan asked again, Lin Aoxue saw the latter's complexion softened a lot, she subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, she was greatly relieved, and replied:
"We are already very close to the barbarian army, but I was injured, and the difficulty of doing things has greatly increased after that. Let's send a message back to Xingbei Pass first, and see how the general makes a decision."
Yun Yan nodded, took out a stick of secret incense that she carried with her, and lit it at the entrance of the cave.
A moment later, a falcon flapped its wings twice, swooped down from the sky, and landed on the rock at the entrance of the cave.Yun Yan walked over and took off the bamboo tube from Falcon's leg. Lin Aoxue quickly wrote a note using blood as ink, and tied it to Falcon's leg again.
Yunyan let the falcon fly, and they will continue to search for the barbarian army while waiting for Xing Beiguan's summons for the next period of time.
Lin Aoxue was injured, and a lot of blood was left on the road. The bodies of the barbarian scouts will definitely be found soon, so they can't stay in this cave for too long.After Yunyan let the falcon fly, Lin Aoxue dragged her injured body and moved Yunyan with her.
They had already detected some clues before, and now they only need to verify their conjectures and locate the exact location of the barbarian troops, and the mission is considered complete.
In the next few days, Yunyan acted more cautiously than before. She was very concerned about Lin Aoxue's injury, always paying attention to her physical condition, and tried to take care of her. Although Lin Aoxue felt that Yunyan was making a big deal out of a molehill, she still enjoyed being treated like this. The feeling that people care.
Bei Chenlong's reply letter was delivered to Lin Aoxue through the falcon. Lin Aoxue unwrapped the note and took a look at it. After reading it, she burned it with a torch.
"What did the general say?"
Yun Yan came over and asked softly.
"The army has already dispatched, and we will quietly arrive at Guanshan Lake in five days. As long as our information is accurate, we can use this opportunity to deal a huge blow to the barbarians. We will keep in touch with the general at all times."
Lin Aoxue briefly analyzed the current battle situation, and then signaled Yunyan to continue moving.
Two days later, Lin Aoxue and Lin Aoxue arrived at Guanshan Lake, which was the location they had deduced based on various clues and the direction of the barbarian stragglers.Lin Aoxue came to Guanshan Lake and inspected the surrounding terrain, and had to admire the intelligence of the barbarian general.
The barbarian army was replenishing the water source at Guanshan Lake. It could not only attack Xingbei Pass as quickly as possible, but also withdraw vigilantly when there was any movement in Xingbei Pass.
They lay in ambush for a whole day in Guanshan Lake, and they found the barbarian army.As for Yun Yan, who knew nothing about the art of war, she could only listen to Lin Aoxue explaining to her in detail. Over the past few days, she had learned a lot about how the two armies fought against each other from Lin Aoxue.
A few days later, Lin Aoxue successfully joined the army. Bei Chenlong personally led the army with two lieutenants, while Yang Jin was at Xingbei Pass.
Lin Aoxue told Bei Chenlong about the situation of Guanshan Lake in detail:
"We found out the rules of action of the barbarian army, because war horses need drinking water, and people also need water supplies, and Guanshan Lake is the most remote lake between the barbarians and Xingbeiguan. They will lead the army to come every few days. Here for a trip."
After listening to Lin Aoxue's report, Bei Chenlong pondered for a moment, followed Lin Aoxue for a walk around Guanshan Lake, and initially decided on a battle strategy.
While observing the terrain, Bei Chenlong noticed that Lin Aoxue was short of breath and his face was ugly, so he couldn't help frowning and said:
"You are hurt?"
The news that Lin Aoxue sent back to Xing Beiguan did not mention that the two of them were ambushed. At this time, when Bei Chenlong asked, she did not hide it, and she would answer truthfully about the fact that she was attacked.
She didn't say that she was injured in order to save Yunyan, she only said that the enemy's martial arts were strong, and she emphasized that it was because Yunyan was with her that she was able to bandage the wound in time until the army came to help.
Bei Chenlong nodded, thoughtfully.
He wanted to fight a beautiful battle. After confirming that the geographical location of Guanshan Lake was indeed important, he ordered two lieutenants to ambush teams of 3 people each on the east and west sides of Guanshan Lake, while he led his troops to ambush on the east and west sides of Guanshan Lake. Among the deep mountains.
For two days in a row, there was no movement around Guanshan Lake. On the night of the third day, indeed, a team of barbarians entered Guanshan Lake.
Bei Chenlong ordered the troops to stand still. After the vanguard team of the barbarians entered Guanshan Lake to check the situation, they found no abnormalities, so they went back to report. After about an hour, the large army of barbarians arrived late and entered Guanshan without any scruples. lake.
Bei Chenlong glanced at the sky, waited for another half an hour, and finally gave the order to attack.
There was a loud cry of killing, and Beichen soldiers rushed towards Guanshan Lake from all directions. The [-] barbarian soldiers who were resting by the Guanshan Lake were caught off guard. .
The barbarian general quickly woke up from the panic, calmed down extremely quickly, organized the barbarian soldiers to resist the sneak attack of the Beichen army, and wanted to break out of the encirclement.
Because Lin Aoxue was injured, she did not personally participate in the battle. Yunyan did not know martial arts, nor could she carry a sword, so she watched the situation of the two armies in Guanshan Lake with her on the cliff beside Guanshan Lake.
There are also capable people among the barbarians. The barbarians quickly stabilized their positions and gathered under the charge of Beichen soldiers. They formed a defensive position to resist the attack of Beichen soldiers. They did not have an advantage in numbers, but the terrain of Guanshan Lake was not open. , It is not suitable for a large army to charge back and forth, so it does not show the superiority of Beichen's army in numbers.
Another hour passed, and the Guanshan Lake was full of corpses, and blood flowed on the grass, dyeing the lush green grass into a scarlet color.
The corpse fell into the lake, and the blood was smeared, which also stained the originally blue and clear lake mottled.
The soldiers of Xing Beiguan were in full swing, and the barbarians were also arousing blood under the constant fighting, and the battle reached the most critical moment.Just at this time, someone in the barbarian army suddenly fell to the ground for no reason and was hacked to death with random knives.
Such a situation was not accidental, but spread to the entire barbarian army in a very short period of time.People kept falling off their horses for no reason, or their bodies suddenly became weak in the middle of the battle, and they were completely powerless to resist the attacks of Beichen soldiers.
The barbarian general panicked, and then suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the lake water they drank into their stomachs earlier!
The excitement on Beichenlong's face could not be concealed. This battle, Beichen's army will surely go down in the annals of history.
Bei Chenlong led his army to take enough clear water from Guanshan Lake for half a month, then let Yunyan poison the water, and waited for the barbarian team to enter Guanshan Lake.
The water in Guanshan Lake is snow water that melts from the mountains in summer, not running water. As long as they drink the water in the lake, they will definitely be recruited.The barbarians who drank the lake water were indeed poisoned. Although it was not a fatal poison, it was enough to determine the outcome of the battle.
The barbarian general was filled with grief and indignation, he looked up to the sky and scolded Bei Chenlong angrily, and then threw his neck and slayed himself.After the general died, more than a thousand soldiers committed suicide one after another.
Bei Chenlong ordered to clean up the Guanshan Lake battlefield, put away the death cards of the soldiers who died in battle, and burned the tens of thousands of corpses of the enemy and our soldiers together with the grass beside the Guanshan Lake.
The fire continued to burn for half a month before being extinguished by a cold autumn rain.
In the Battle of Guanshan Lake, Beichen's army won a complete victory, and none of the barbarian soldiers escaped. Beichen's army captured more than [-] barbarian soldiers and returned to Xingbeiguan with songs and dances.
The army retreated to Xingbei Pass smoothly. Lin Aoxue's waist and abdomen were injured after a long-distance raid. Although Yunyan took care of her carefully, she was still infected and inflamed. In addition, she suffered from serious physical loss all year round. She forced her weak body back to Xingbei Pass and collapsed immediately. Sorry.
Bei Chenji asked Lin Aoxue to be carried to the military medical camp, and Yun Yan accompanied her all the way. After arriving at the military medical camp, she dismissed the soldiers who came to help, and checked Lin Aoxue's injuries alone.
Lin Aoxue's wound became inflamed, and she herself also developed a fever. She was in a daze, lying on the bed with cold sweat on her forehead, her whole body was hot and cold, and she was haunted by nightmares. She struggled from time to time, screaming in a low voice in panic and anger. .
This kind of Lin Aoxue made Yun Yan very flustered. She used tranquilizing medicine to calm Lin Aoxue, and when the latter's condition stabilized, she untied Lin Aoxue's belt with trembling hands, fetched a needle and thread, and used the dim light to sew up the wound in a hurry. The cotton thread was cut off, and the wound was carefully cleaned again.
During the first stitch, Yun Yan, who had always been calm and self-sufficient in practicing medicine, almost missed the needle. She stared blankly at her hands stained with Lin Aoxue's blood, her throat throbbed twice, and she took a deep breath. Trying to calm myself down, I finally dared to make a move.
She didn't know why she was so flustered, this emotion was too unfamiliar and made her feel at a loss.
She tried her best to stay calm and sober, and it took nearly twice as long as before to deal with the wound on Lin Aoxue's waist and carefully bandage it up.
Lin Aoxue's breath gradually calmed down while she was sleeping, but the frown between her brows still did not fade away.The makeup covering the scars on her face has been washed off, revealing the hideous scars on her cheeks.
Yun Yan didn't find it ugly, she stared at Lin Aoxue's sleeping face, and suddenly remembered that they had just left the customs that day, Lin Aoxue's surprise was beyond words when she learned that she could disguise herself, she couldn't help stretching out her hand, and her own brief touch on the cheek.
Yun Yan stretched out her hand and caressed the uneven scar on Lin Aoxue's cheek with five fingers, her eyebrows drooped slightly, and her eyes were full of complicated expressions.
She originally felt sorry for Lin Aoxue, and wanted to give this lonely person more company, but she was calm and rational, knowing the impact of every decision she made, and thus avoiding possible risks, so she was more at ease .
But after leaving the customs this time, she found that some things became more difficult. The appearance of Lin Aoxue became more and more clear in her heart.
She couldn't forget the scene when Lin Aoxue stood upright in front of her. Every time she closed her eyes, it was as if blood was rushing to her face. A scene.
That was the first time she felt that she was so close to death, but a pair of rough but powerful hands pulled her out of the abyss forcefully, and showed her the bright sunshine in the sky.
Appearing in the sunlight was Lin Aoxue's pale face with a faint smile.
She accidentally discovered the secret that Lin Aoxue tried her best to hide, and took hold of Lin Aoxue's lifeblood, and because of this, she was unscrupulous and approached deliberately, with ulterior motives.
She thought it was just an ordinary approach, just two similar people attracted to each other, she wanted to exchange her sincerity so that Lin Aoxue could regard her as a confidant.
She did it, this man even risked his life for her.
But some things began to get out of control. Her trembling hands and unceasing agitation in her heart kept reminding her that things had become tricky and complicated.
I don't know when, the sympathy accumulated in her heart was covered by more and more sympathy, and a feeling other than friendship began to accumulate, and at the moment when Lin Aoxue sacrificed her life for her, it broke through the tenacity like a seed The land grows from the bottom of my heart.
This was beyond her expectations, and it wasn't what she had expected.
Yunyan sat in front of Lin Aoxue's bed for an entire hour before recovering from deep thinking. She exhaled forcefully. She spent an hour thinking about countermeasures and analyzing her heart, showing a helpless and relieved expression on her face.
She leaned close to Lin Aoxue, held Lin Aoxue's cheeks with both hands, gently stroked Lin Aoxue's delicate eyebrows and eyes with a little heroism, and looked deeply at her sleeping with her eyes closed at the place closest to this person.
There are other ways to achieve the goal, don't use Lin Aoxue, a voice whispered in her heart.
"Aoxue, maybe you're right. I shouldn't have come to the barracks. I'll leave here when you recover from your injuries."
Timely stop loss is the decision a smart person should have.
If she continued to stay here, she didn't know what kind of accident would happen again, and what kind of things this person would do to shake her determination.She had to get out in time before she completely lost her mind and sank into it.
Also, she needs a little time to calm down.
Yun Yan stared at Lin Aoxue's sleeping state, and suddenly, she moved closer, and gently tapped her soft red lips on Lin Aoxue's forehead, and kissed it very lightly.
"To be honest, I actually don't want to let you go." After a pause, the smile in her eyes was a bit bitter and helpless, "No one has ever carried a knife for me sincerely. You are the first one. It turns out that the hero saving the beauty is really tempting."
But she has no choice but, if taking the initiative to stay away can't save her already shaken heart, then she will find another way to achieve her goal. Before that, she needs some time.
Yun Yan sorted out her mood, stroked Lin Aoxue's cheek, gently brushed away the wet hair on her forehead, then took out the half mask from her bosom, and put it on Lin Aoxue's face meticulously.
The author has something to say: Yun Yan and Aoxue: Aoxue (Yan'er) treats me as a good sister, and I must restrain myself.
Turn on the two-way secret love and mutual favor mode, how many cuties are there to attack the oiran?
In the end, I decided to send it in advance so that you don't have to wait too long. I'm so kind... After that, I will update it at [-]:[-] a.m., and if there is any change, I will ask for leave in advance, okay!thank you all!
Routine comments please accept please click!
After leaving the customs, they each put on coarse clothes and pretended to be farmers outside the customs. Lin Aoxue took up a burden, shoulder to shoulder with Yun Yan, and the two walked forward along the path outside the customs while talking and laughing.
After walking for a certain distance, occasionally passers-by would subconsciously glance at Lin Aoxue. At first Lin Aoxue didn't care, but Yunyan frowned, thinking about the reason.
She turned her head and glanced at the mask on Lin Aoxue's face, with a look of hesitation on her face, and proposed in a gentle voice:
"Aoxue, if you don't take off the mask, your appearance must be familiar to the barbarians. Wearing this mask can easily be recognized by others."
The mask on Lin Aoxue's face is a very obvious feature. She went to the battlefield several times before and fought against the barbarian army. Many barbarians remember her appearance. Now they hide their identities and go outside the customs to investigate the news. Lin Aoxue continues to wear a mask. It is indeed easy to provoke people doubt.
What Yun Yan said made sense, but Lin Aoxue frowned. She was stroking the mask with one hand, and the long hair hanging down her ears covered the complicated expression on her face.Seeing her hesitant look, Yunyan couldn't help but think of the encounter in Yanyulou in the past, Lin Aoxue was furious because Yueqin touched the mask on her face.
What kind of secret is hidden behind that mask?
Yun Yan was curious several times in her heart, but it stopped at courtesy.
Lin Aoxue hesitated for a long time, and finally raised her head. Her gaze was very calm, and then she calmly removed the mask from Yun Yan's astonished gaze.
Yun Yan held her breath, her eyes showing uncontrollable surprise.
On that originally handsome face, the hideous marks left by the hot coals, unexpectedly stung Yun Yan's heart.
The intertwined scars almost covered half of Lin Aoxue's right cheek, making her look even more sinister after taking off the mask. Fortunately, the sun was bright at this time. If she suddenly saw such a face in the dark night, she would definitely think There are evil spirits coming to claim their lives.
Yunyan is a doctor, so she has seen many hideous scars. She has also seen scars that were more serious than Lin Aoxue's face. Therefore, after a brief surprise, Yunyan immediately came back to her senses, her brows were slightly frowned, and her eyes were full of scars. Reflecting heartfelt distress.
"Why do you..." She frowned, took a step forward, and raised her hand to caress Lin Aoxue's cheek, but the latter subconsciously tilted her head, and Yun Yan sighed helplessly, "When did you get this injury?"
Only then did she belatedly understand why Lin Aoxue didn't care so much about whether the arrow wounds on her body would leave scars or not. For a girl with such ugly and hideous scars on her face, she had lost all thoughts about her appearance long ago. I never thought that one day, I would show this side to others.
"It was when my parents passed away."
Lin Aoxue's gaze dropped, she turned her face away stiffly, subconsciously trying to hide that half of her burnt cheek.
Yun Yan felt very distressed, the girls in the Yan Yu building were most concerned about their appearance, if they accidentally cut a small wound, they would cry for days.
Although Lin Aoxue is not as delicate as the Yingying and Yanyan in the Yanyu Tower, she is still a girl who cares about her appearance. She has appeared in front of people for so many years with such injuries, and she has endured many cruel words.
At this moment, she felt that she was too cruel, why did she propose to let Lin Aoxue take off the mask? To Lin Aoxue, this was really a cruel thing.
No one is willing to show their wounds in front of others, Lin Aoxue's complexion became paler and paler, she gritted her teeth, and asked tentatively:
"Isn't it ugly?"
She was very disturbed, she was not as calm and calm as when she took off the mask in front of Bei Chenlong.Yun Yan was very beautiful and delicate. If she hadn't been injured, she might have the courage to look at him, but the scars on her face made her feel ashamed.
The ugly burns brought her endless pain, which made her deeply remember the raging fire in the house and the more than 100 innocent souls who died in the house that day, and made her write the unforgettable hatred into her flesh and blood, becoming branded, engraved on her face.
Taking off the mask is like taking off the disguise she wears all the year round, taking off her cold shell and pretended strength.
Yun Yan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly woke up. She did not spare her tenderness, and opened her arms to hug Lin Aoxue tightly.
"Not ugly."
she says.
"Don't be afraid."
Yun Yan softly comforted Lin Aoxue, and she found that those ferocious appearances were just a timid disguise of the person in her arms. Lin Aoxue looked so fierce, but in fact she was soft and delicate, sensitive and suspicious.
Those soft words, like lingering spring rain, fell on Lin Aoxue's dry and scarred heart, stirring up gorgeous ripples layer after layer.
Lin Aoxue's straight back was no longer stiff, her slightly drooping eyelids hid her gentle and delicate thoughts, and the moment Yun Yan raised her eyes to meet her, she quietly concealed her traces.
"Don't be afraid, I will help you."
Yun Yan looked at Lin Aoxue's dull and pale cheeks, and said one more sentence.
Lin Aoxue pursed her lips, not knowing how to respond.
Yunyan pulled Lin Aoxue to sit down on the stone by the roadside, then took out some ointment from the package she carried with her, and began to tinker with Lin Aoxue's face under Lin Aoxue's nervous gaze.
After about a stick of incense, Yunyan raised the corners of her lips in satisfaction, and dragged Lin Aoxue to find a nearby clear pool, and led her to look into the water.
Lin Aoxue has long been used to seeing her own appearance, except for the sadness that she was never used to from the beginning to the end, there was no other emotional ups and downs.But seeing that Yunyan was so excited, she couldn't help feeling a ray of anticipation in her heart.
She swallowed nervously, then carefully stuck out her head.
A familiar face was clearly reflected on the calm water, but Lin Aoxue was taken aback suddenly, her eyes widened in surprise.
I don't know what method Yunyan used, but she saw that the ugly scar on her right cheek that almost covered half of her face was covered up, and there were some inconspicuous marks on the edge. If you don't look carefully, it is Can't find it.
Her eyebrows and eyes are delicate and natural, without the hideous scar, and her appearance is also very attractive. There is a slight overlap with her once immature appearance in her distant memory, but she soon separated and became two completely different people.
Lin Aoxue was extremely shocked, she raised her head abruptly, stared at Yunyan who pursed her lips and smiled, "you" didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
"how did you do it?"
Lin Aoxue bit her tongue several times before finally straightening out this sentence.
Yunyan didn't give a shit either, she leaned closer to Lin Aoxue, and took a closer look at the traces left on the edge of the scar. While thinking about the countermeasures in her heart, she winked at Lin Aoxue and said with a smile:
"I know disguise."
After finishing speaking, in order to prove it to Lin Aoxue, she turned around and fiddled with her own face. When she turned her head again, except for the trace of charm that belonged to her still remained between her eyebrows and eyes, her appearance had changed. She looks ordinary, quite different from before, she really looks like a peasant woman.
Lin Aoxue opened her mouth wide. She had heard of the Yirong Technique, but she had never learned it. Master Hongming believed that the Yirong Technique was a heretic skill, and she was not allowed to delve into it.
And she was begging on the street at that time, because of the terrible burns on her face, she was often scolded by others, and she was always hungry in the cold winter months, and was later taken away by Master Hongming, thinking of revenge, and there were few clean people in the temple , She gradually forgot the pain caused by the wound on her face.
Until she came down from the mountain, everyone avoided her like a snake and a scorpion, and a child running around on the street bumped into her. When she looked up, she was frightened and burst into tears. Take a look at her.
She happened to stop in front of a small mask making stall. A mottled mask on the stall looked particularly dark among the many colorful masks, but Lin Aoxue caught it right away. She asked the vendor to make half of the mask, and then He left the money, turned around and disappeared among the people coming and going.
Once the mask was put on, it seemed to grow on her face, and it could never be taken off.
Yunyan's versatility was beyond Lin Aoxue's imagination, she stared blankly at Yunyan's smiling face, and felt as if there were turbulent waves struggling to make noise in her heart.Just like what Yunyan said to herself earlier, not only did she not hold back, but once again, she helped her a lot.
Lin Aoxue was a little distracted, she stretched out her hand in a daze, and gently caressed her face under Yun Yan's surprised gaze, but when she touched the soft and moist skin, she retracted it like an electric shock, and a flash of light flashed across her eyes. Fleeing panic, but forced himself to say calmly:
"It turns out that there really is such a miraculous skill in the world."
Yun Yan didn't notice Lin Aoxue's strangeness, she smiled after being praised, and said with a smile:
"What kind of miraculous skill is this? It's just a trick to deceive people. If I have enough time in the future, I will try to find a way to help you get rid of the scar on your face, okay?"
She took Lin Aoxue's arm and gently persuaded that no girl would be willing to live a lifetime with a crippled face.
But Lin Aoxue didn't care so much about the scars on her face. She took off her mask, faced Yun Yan directly, and crossed the most difficult hurdle, which made her heart open.
She thought, if there is really a gentle and meticulous person in the world who deserves to be treated sincerely, maybe that person is Yunyan.Every gentle word of Yunyan, every soft smile on her eyebrows, and every clever look in her eyes will rescue her from the mire bit by bit.
She didn't know what kind of emotion was stirring in her heart at this time, but she subconsciously covered up and escaped, and then another kind of panic rose up, lest she stained this red lotus that was not stained by mud with blood on her hands.
cloud smoke.
Lin Aoxue read it silently in her heart.
She is willing to work harder to open a window in her heart for Yunyan, hide those unspeakable secrets, and get closer to each other with more sincere kindness.
Even so, she will be at risk of injury.
However, as a human being, there are always some unknown reasons that make her courage. If she hadn't met Yunyan, maybe even she herself would have forgotten what she was like before.
"it is good."
she answered softly.
Although she didn't have any expectations, and she didn't really want to change her appearance, but Yun Yan said that she wanted to give it a try, and she felt that it would be okay to try.
The smile on Yunyan's face made it rare for Lin Aoxue to show a smile. Under the reflection of the sun, her soft eyebrows and eyes seemed to look a little different from before.
They left the woods and found a nearby village. Because this place was very close to Xingbei Pass, the barbarian stragglers did not come here. The people in the village were busy with the autumn harvest, and the fields were full of golden grain and grass.
They observed the topography of the village around the village, then passed through the village and went further.
After traveling hundreds of miles, the two finally found traces of barbarian iron hoofs in a deep mountain. In a burned village, there were charred corpses everywhere. Lin Aoxue carefully sneaked into the village with clouds of smoke, searching for the traces left by the barbarians.
Yunyan accidentally stepped on a wooden board under her feet, but her bloody and bloody palm slipped from the gap. Yunyan turned her head and threw herself into Lin Aoxue's arms in shock. A black board, and a barbarian machete was found on the body.
They walked around the village again, and Lin Aoxue concluded that the barbarians hadn't gone far, because the burnt bricks and tiles were still steaming with uncooled gray smoke.
Yun Yan asked Lin Aoxue what to do, how could they catch up with the barbarian's cavalry with their speed.
Lin Aoxue smiled lightly and said "Excuse me", and then pretended to be calm and hugged Yunyan by the waist.
Yunyan exclaimed, and subconsciously hugged Lin Aoxue's neck tightly. Lin Aoxue didn't look directly into Yunyan's eyes. Advance rapidly towards the hinterland of the barbarians.
Yunyan was still a little nervous at the beginning, but when she felt that Lin Aoxue was more nervous than she was, she smiled again and let Lin Aoxue hold her, enjoying the process of traveling hundreds of miles a day without walking by herself.
Lin Aoxue followed the barbarian's horseshoe prints with Yunyan in her arms and searched for them for two days. She carefully avoided the scouts of the barbarians. Finally found the traces of the barbarian stragglers.
They followed the stragglers carefully, and everything went smoothly, but something happened when they continued to search in a dense forest near the barbarian grassland.
Lin Aoxue was carrying a bundle of firewood on her back. Yunyan was wearing shabby peasant women's clothes, disguised as a 40-[-]-year-old, walking beside Lin Aoxue, picking up a piece of firewood from the ground from time to time, and throwing it into the pile of firewood on Lin Aoxue's back.
While they were walking, they were chatting about family matters, suddenly, Lin Aoxue stopped, and under Yunyan's suspicious eyes, she suddenly threw away the basket, threw herself forward, hugged Yunyan tightly and rolled on the spot.
There were a few soft bangs, and a few darts sank into the place where Yunyan was standing before.
Yun Yan didn't know yet, so Lin Aoxue turned over, took out the dagger hidden on the side of the shoe, and hit with a backhand.
There was a clang of gold and iron clashing, and a sharp scimitar rested on the dagger in Lin Aoxue's hand, shaking her arm.
Lin Aoxue shielded Yunyan behind her, and fought against the comer, the dagger and scimitar collided from time to time, making clanking sounds.
It was the first time for Yunyan to see Lin Aoxue fighting against barbarians at such a close distance. She found that Lin Aoxue's moves were fast and ruthless. Although the person who came was strong in martial arts, he was not Lin Aoxue's opponent. In order to end the battle as soon as possible, Lin Aoxue had no reservations, but Just ten strokes, the dagger in her hand cut the throat of the visitor.
In contrast, when Lin Aoxue fought against those thugs in the misty rain building, she didn't even use [-]% of her strength, just like an adult playing house with ten toddlers.
But just as Lin Aoxue dealt with one assassin, another person jumped from the tree and went straight towards Yunyan.
The man turned into a black afterimage, the scimitar in his hand was glowing with the cold light of death, and he came to Yunyan in an instant, the sunlight was projected on the knife, stinging her eyes, causing her to close them subconsciously.
Lin Aoxue quickly turned around, raised her head calmly, her arm shook, and the dagger flew out of her hand, aiming at the shadow's vital point, attacking the enemy will save her!
Feeling the dagger coming, the black shadow forcibly twisted his body in the air to avoid the fatal blow. Lin Aoxue took this opportunity to jump up and rushed to Yunyan before the second knife fell.
Yun Yan heard the muffled sound of a sharp weapon entering her body, and immediately scorching blood spattered her face.
All at the flick of a finger.
She opened her eyes in fear, and saw Lin Aoxue's slender back standing in front of her, the sharp machete pierced Lin Aoxue's side waist, and came out from behind.
Lin Aoxue's face was pale, but her expression was still indifferent, the blade pierced from the waist, she calmly grabbed the wrist of the visitor, and squeezed it hard.
The assassin's hand bones were shattered, and a scream came from his mouth. Lin Aoxue stabbed the man's eyes with two fingers, and when the man covered his eyes and retreated, he took another step forward, picked up the dagger that had just fallen to the ground with his toes, and moved coherently Pour the dagger into the assassin's chest.
"Come on!"
Lin Aoxue tore off the scimitar on her side, covered the wound on her side, and said anxiously to Yunyan.
Yunyan was woken up by Lin Aoxue's voice, a look of panic flashed across her face, she quickly came to Lin Aoxue's side and held her arm, just about to check how Lin Aoxue was injured, Lin Aoxue raised her hand to stop her:
"Let's find a place to hide first."
Lin Aoxue pressed the wound hard, trying to slow down the blood loss, Yun Yan supported her, and the two stumbled away from the place where the accident happened. After walking for a while, they found a hidden cave and hid.
They got into the cave, Yun Yan wanted to check Lin Aoxue's wound immediately, but Lin Aoxue asked Yun Yan to go outside the cave first to see if there was any blood left.
Yunyan knew that the situation was urgent, and she might attract the barbarian army if she was not careful, so after a short hesitation, she followed Lin Aoxue's suggestion and went outside the cave to clean up the footprints and bloodstains left when she came.
Lin Aoxue sat leaning against the rock, and the piercing pain from the wound stimulated her mind, making her extremely clear-headed even though her body was extremely exhausted.
Panting heavily, she analyzed the reason for today's enemy attack. The enemy's scouts were alert enough. Although she and Yun Yan looked the same, there were very few people nearby. The barbarians would rather kill by mistake than let them go. , locked them.
They dispatched a master with good martial arts to attack from the secret, intending to kill the two of them silently in one fell swoop.
In this case, she had to fight back.
Lin Aoxue closed her eyes, her thoughts were chaotic, thinking about what to do next.
The barbarian scouts were more powerful than she had expected, no wonder so many scouts sent by Bei Chenlong fell on these people.
Yun Yan came back soon, she lit the fire folder, and found Lin Aoxue by the faint light of the fire, and wanted to check Lin Aoxue's injury.
Lin Aoxue didn't refuse this time, she still closed her eyes, this time the injury was on her side, no matter how shy she was, she had to take off all her shirt to bandage the wound.
Yun Yan successfully lifted off Lin Aoxue's clothes, revealing the woman's slender body and the bloody incision on her waist hidden under the wet clothes.The incision was not long, but it was very deep, piercing through Lin Aoxue's side waist, and coming out from the back.
The light in the cave was dim, Yunyan could barely see the wound clearly only with the light of Huozhezi, even so, she was still pale with fright.
She was worried that the knife would hurt Lin Aoxue's internal organs, so she checked it very carefully. Fortunately, Lin Aoxue was lucky, and although the knife was dangerous, it wiped the internal organs, so the problem was not serious.
She carefully cleaned up the wound on Lin Aoxue's waist, but she couldn't help but recall the scene that broke into her eyes at the thrilling moment just now.Lin Aoxue suffered this knife to save her, she said it swearingly when she left the customs, but in the end she still dragged Lin Aoxue back.
Lin Aoxue opened her eyes, glanced at Yunyan, and saw that the latter was resting on the side of the wound, but seemed to be distracted and motionless, Lin Aoxue frowned slightly, and called out softly:
"Smoke."
There was a trace of pain and guilt in Yunyan's eyes, she pursed her lips tightly, and bandaged Lin Aoxue's wound with all her heart.Although the cave was dim, Lin Aoxue's gaze was fixed on Yunyan's face, so she could clearly see the flashing expression in her eyes.
"I said I would protect you."
Since it is what she said, she should do her best to practice it.
Yunyan lowered her eyelids, and remained silent in a rare way.The roles of the two seemed to be reversed, Lin Aoxue forced a smile on her face, and comforted Yunyan in a clumsy way:
"I'm fine, and besides, aren't you still here?"
Seeing that Yunyan was still silent, Lin Aoxue was a little anxious, and said whatever came to her mind:
"Look, if someone else is with me, I'm injured, but I can only wait to die."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Yunyan was surprisingly angry.
Lin Aoxue's neck twitched, and she didn't dare to say any more.
Yun Yan glared at Lin Aoxue fiercely again, then applied medicine to stop the bleeding for Lin Aoxue as quickly as possible, and bandaged the wound.Although her movements were quick, her five fingers trembled imperceptibly.
It wasn't until Lin Aoxue put on her clothes again that Yunyan's expression softened a little. She tied the belt for Lin Aoxue herself, and she took extra care not to strangle the wound.
"Don't work so hard in the future."
After being silent for a long time, Yun Yan finally spoke up.
Lin Aoxue looked at Yunyan cautiously, seeing that the latter looked normal, but always pursed his lips, showing a sad look, Lin Aoxue was worried that Yunyan's anger was still lingering, so she nodded obediently, not daring to say more.
"what should I do now?"
Yun Yan asked again, Lin Aoxue saw the latter's complexion softened a lot, she subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, she was greatly relieved, and replied:
"We are already very close to the barbarian army, but I was injured, and the difficulty of doing things has greatly increased after that. Let's send a message back to Xingbei Pass first, and see how the general makes a decision."
Yun Yan nodded, took out a stick of secret incense that she carried with her, and lit it at the entrance of the cave.
A moment later, a falcon flapped its wings twice, swooped down from the sky, and landed on the rock at the entrance of the cave.Yun Yan walked over and took off the bamboo tube from Falcon's leg. Lin Aoxue quickly wrote a note using blood as ink, and tied it to Falcon's leg again.
Yunyan let the falcon fly, and they will continue to search for the barbarian army while waiting for Xing Beiguan's summons for the next period of time.
Lin Aoxue was injured, and a lot of blood was left on the road. The bodies of the barbarian scouts will definitely be found soon, so they can't stay in this cave for too long.After Yunyan let the falcon fly, Lin Aoxue dragged her injured body and moved Yunyan with her.
They had already detected some clues before, and now they only need to verify their conjectures and locate the exact location of the barbarian troops, and the mission is considered complete.
In the next few days, Yunyan acted more cautiously than before. She was very concerned about Lin Aoxue's injury, always paying attention to her physical condition, and tried to take care of her. Although Lin Aoxue felt that Yunyan was making a big deal out of a molehill, she still enjoyed being treated like this. The feeling that people care.
Bei Chenlong's reply letter was delivered to Lin Aoxue through the falcon. Lin Aoxue unwrapped the note and took a look at it. After reading it, she burned it with a torch.
"What did the general say?"
Yun Yan came over and asked softly.
"The army has already dispatched, and we will quietly arrive at Guanshan Lake in five days. As long as our information is accurate, we can use this opportunity to deal a huge blow to the barbarians. We will keep in touch with the general at all times."
Lin Aoxue briefly analyzed the current battle situation, and then signaled Yunyan to continue moving.
Two days later, Lin Aoxue and Lin Aoxue arrived at Guanshan Lake, which was the location they had deduced based on various clues and the direction of the barbarian stragglers.Lin Aoxue came to Guanshan Lake and inspected the surrounding terrain, and had to admire the intelligence of the barbarian general.
The barbarian army was replenishing the water source at Guanshan Lake. It could not only attack Xingbei Pass as quickly as possible, but also withdraw vigilantly when there was any movement in Xingbei Pass.
They lay in ambush for a whole day in Guanshan Lake, and they found the barbarian army.As for Yun Yan, who knew nothing about the art of war, she could only listen to Lin Aoxue explaining to her in detail. Over the past few days, she had learned a lot about how the two armies fought against each other from Lin Aoxue.
A few days later, Lin Aoxue successfully joined the army. Bei Chenlong personally led the army with two lieutenants, while Yang Jin was at Xingbei Pass.
Lin Aoxue told Bei Chenlong about the situation of Guanshan Lake in detail:
"We found out the rules of action of the barbarian army, because war horses need drinking water, and people also need water supplies, and Guanshan Lake is the most remote lake between the barbarians and Xingbeiguan. They will lead the army to come every few days. Here for a trip."
After listening to Lin Aoxue's report, Bei Chenlong pondered for a moment, followed Lin Aoxue for a walk around Guanshan Lake, and initially decided on a battle strategy.
While observing the terrain, Bei Chenlong noticed that Lin Aoxue was short of breath and his face was ugly, so he couldn't help frowning and said:
"You are hurt?"
The news that Lin Aoxue sent back to Xing Beiguan did not mention that the two of them were ambushed. At this time, when Bei Chenlong asked, she did not hide it, and she would answer truthfully about the fact that she was attacked.
She didn't say that she was injured in order to save Yunyan, she only said that the enemy's martial arts were strong, and she emphasized that it was because Yunyan was with her that she was able to bandage the wound in time until the army came to help.
Bei Chenlong nodded, thoughtfully.
He wanted to fight a beautiful battle. After confirming that the geographical location of Guanshan Lake was indeed important, he ordered two lieutenants to ambush teams of 3 people each on the east and west sides of Guanshan Lake, while he led his troops to ambush on the east and west sides of Guanshan Lake. Among the deep mountains.
For two days in a row, there was no movement around Guanshan Lake. On the night of the third day, indeed, a team of barbarians entered Guanshan Lake.
Bei Chenlong ordered the troops to stand still. After the vanguard team of the barbarians entered Guanshan Lake to check the situation, they found no abnormalities, so they went back to report. After about an hour, the large army of barbarians arrived late and entered Guanshan without any scruples. lake.
Bei Chenlong glanced at the sky, waited for another half an hour, and finally gave the order to attack.
There was a loud cry of killing, and Beichen soldiers rushed towards Guanshan Lake from all directions. The [-] barbarian soldiers who were resting by the Guanshan Lake were caught off guard. .
The barbarian general quickly woke up from the panic, calmed down extremely quickly, organized the barbarian soldiers to resist the sneak attack of the Beichen army, and wanted to break out of the encirclement.
Because Lin Aoxue was injured, she did not personally participate in the battle. Yunyan did not know martial arts, nor could she carry a sword, so she watched the situation of the two armies in Guanshan Lake with her on the cliff beside Guanshan Lake.
There are also capable people among the barbarians. The barbarians quickly stabilized their positions and gathered under the charge of Beichen soldiers. They formed a defensive position to resist the attack of Beichen soldiers. They did not have an advantage in numbers, but the terrain of Guanshan Lake was not open. , It is not suitable for a large army to charge back and forth, so it does not show the superiority of Beichen's army in numbers.
Another hour passed, and the Guanshan Lake was full of corpses, and blood flowed on the grass, dyeing the lush green grass into a scarlet color.
The corpse fell into the lake, and the blood was smeared, which also stained the originally blue and clear lake mottled.
The soldiers of Xing Beiguan were in full swing, and the barbarians were also arousing blood under the constant fighting, and the battle reached the most critical moment.Just at this time, someone in the barbarian army suddenly fell to the ground for no reason and was hacked to death with random knives.
Such a situation was not accidental, but spread to the entire barbarian army in a very short period of time.People kept falling off their horses for no reason, or their bodies suddenly became weak in the middle of the battle, and they were completely powerless to resist the attacks of Beichen soldiers.
The barbarian general panicked, and then suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the lake water they drank into their stomachs earlier!
The excitement on Beichenlong's face could not be concealed. This battle, Beichen's army will surely go down in the annals of history.
Bei Chenlong led his army to take enough clear water from Guanshan Lake for half a month, then let Yunyan poison the water, and waited for the barbarian team to enter Guanshan Lake.
The water in Guanshan Lake is snow water that melts from the mountains in summer, not running water. As long as they drink the water in the lake, they will definitely be recruited.The barbarians who drank the lake water were indeed poisoned. Although it was not a fatal poison, it was enough to determine the outcome of the battle.
The barbarian general was filled with grief and indignation, he looked up to the sky and scolded Bei Chenlong angrily, and then threw his neck and slayed himself.After the general died, more than a thousand soldiers committed suicide one after another.
Bei Chenlong ordered to clean up the Guanshan Lake battlefield, put away the death cards of the soldiers who died in battle, and burned the tens of thousands of corpses of the enemy and our soldiers together with the grass beside the Guanshan Lake.
The fire continued to burn for half a month before being extinguished by a cold autumn rain.
In the Battle of Guanshan Lake, Beichen's army won a complete victory, and none of the barbarian soldiers escaped. Beichen's army captured more than [-] barbarian soldiers and returned to Xingbeiguan with songs and dances.
The army retreated to Xingbei Pass smoothly. Lin Aoxue's waist and abdomen were injured after a long-distance raid. Although Yunyan took care of her carefully, she was still infected and inflamed. In addition, she suffered from serious physical loss all year round. She forced her weak body back to Xingbei Pass and collapsed immediately. Sorry.
Bei Chenji asked Lin Aoxue to be carried to the military medical camp, and Yun Yan accompanied her all the way. After arriving at the military medical camp, she dismissed the soldiers who came to help, and checked Lin Aoxue's injuries alone.
Lin Aoxue's wound became inflamed, and she herself also developed a fever. She was in a daze, lying on the bed with cold sweat on her forehead, her whole body was hot and cold, and she was haunted by nightmares. She struggled from time to time, screaming in a low voice in panic and anger. .
This kind of Lin Aoxue made Yun Yan very flustered. She used tranquilizing medicine to calm Lin Aoxue, and when the latter's condition stabilized, she untied Lin Aoxue's belt with trembling hands, fetched a needle and thread, and used the dim light to sew up the wound in a hurry. The cotton thread was cut off, and the wound was carefully cleaned again.
During the first stitch, Yun Yan, who had always been calm and self-sufficient in practicing medicine, almost missed the needle. She stared blankly at her hands stained with Lin Aoxue's blood, her throat throbbed twice, and she took a deep breath. Trying to calm myself down, I finally dared to make a move.
She didn't know why she was so flustered, this emotion was too unfamiliar and made her feel at a loss.
She tried her best to stay calm and sober, and it took nearly twice as long as before to deal with the wound on Lin Aoxue's waist and carefully bandage it up.
Lin Aoxue's breath gradually calmed down while she was sleeping, but the frown between her brows still did not fade away.The makeup covering the scars on her face has been washed off, revealing the hideous scars on her cheeks.
Yun Yan didn't find it ugly, she stared at Lin Aoxue's sleeping face, and suddenly remembered that they had just left the customs that day, Lin Aoxue's surprise was beyond words when she learned that she could disguise herself, she couldn't help stretching out her hand, and her own brief touch on the cheek.
Yun Yan stretched out her hand and caressed the uneven scar on Lin Aoxue's cheek with five fingers, her eyebrows drooped slightly, and her eyes were full of complicated expressions.
She originally felt sorry for Lin Aoxue, and wanted to give this lonely person more company, but she was calm and rational, knowing the impact of every decision she made, and thus avoiding possible risks, so she was more at ease .
But after leaving the customs this time, she found that some things became more difficult. The appearance of Lin Aoxue became more and more clear in her heart.
She couldn't forget the scene when Lin Aoxue stood upright in front of her. Every time she closed her eyes, it was as if blood was rushing to her face. A scene.
That was the first time she felt that she was so close to death, but a pair of rough but powerful hands pulled her out of the abyss forcefully, and showed her the bright sunshine in the sky.
Appearing in the sunlight was Lin Aoxue's pale face with a faint smile.
She accidentally discovered the secret that Lin Aoxue tried her best to hide, and took hold of Lin Aoxue's lifeblood, and because of this, she was unscrupulous and approached deliberately, with ulterior motives.
She thought it was just an ordinary approach, just two similar people attracted to each other, she wanted to exchange her sincerity so that Lin Aoxue could regard her as a confidant.
She did it, this man even risked his life for her.
But some things began to get out of control. Her trembling hands and unceasing agitation in her heart kept reminding her that things had become tricky and complicated.
I don't know when, the sympathy accumulated in her heart was covered by more and more sympathy, and a feeling other than friendship began to accumulate, and at the moment when Lin Aoxue sacrificed her life for her, it broke through the tenacity like a seed The land grows from the bottom of my heart.
This was beyond her expectations, and it wasn't what she had expected.
Yunyan sat in front of Lin Aoxue's bed for an entire hour before recovering from deep thinking. She exhaled forcefully. She spent an hour thinking about countermeasures and analyzing her heart, showing a helpless and relieved expression on her face.
She leaned close to Lin Aoxue, held Lin Aoxue's cheeks with both hands, gently stroked Lin Aoxue's delicate eyebrows and eyes with a little heroism, and looked deeply at her sleeping with her eyes closed at the place closest to this person.
There are other ways to achieve the goal, don't use Lin Aoxue, a voice whispered in her heart.
"Aoxue, maybe you're right. I shouldn't have come to the barracks. I'll leave here when you recover from your injuries."
Timely stop loss is the decision a smart person should have.
If she continued to stay here, she didn't know what kind of accident would happen again, and what kind of things this person would do to shake her determination.She had to get out in time before she completely lost her mind and sank into it.
Also, she needs a little time to calm down.
Yun Yan stared at Lin Aoxue's sleeping state, and suddenly, she moved closer, and gently tapped her soft red lips on Lin Aoxue's forehead, and kissed it very lightly.
"To be honest, I actually don't want to let you go." After a pause, the smile in her eyes was a bit bitter and helpless, "No one has ever carried a knife for me sincerely. You are the first one. It turns out that the hero saving the beauty is really tempting."
But she has no choice but, if taking the initiative to stay away can't save her already shaken heart, then she will find another way to achieve her goal. Before that, she needs some time.
Yun Yan sorted out her mood, stroked Lin Aoxue's cheek, gently brushed away the wet hair on her forehead, then took out the half mask from her bosom, and put it on Lin Aoxue's face meticulously.
The author has something to say: Yun Yan and Aoxue: Aoxue (Yan'er) treats me as a good sister, and I must restrain myself.
Turn on the two-way secret love and mutual favor mode, how many cuties are there to attack the oiran?
In the end, I decided to send it in advance so that you don't have to wait too long. I'm so kind... After that, I will update it at [-]:[-] a.m., and if there is any change, I will ask for leave in advance, okay!thank you all!
