The general said she doesn't take a wife

"How about you stay overnight today?"

Yunyan's voice broke into Lin Aoxue's ears, causing a bang in her head, as if something had exploded, and then there were repeated buzzing sounds in both ears, which made Lin Aoxue tense all of a sudden, a little confused measures.

Yun Yan raised her head and stared at Lin Aoxue's eyes, which seemed to be able to cleanse people's hearts. The corners of her lips were slightly pursed, and her smile remained undiminished, and she asked again:

"You don't have to go back to the barracks tonight, do you?"

Lin Aoxue didn't know what to say, but Beichen Long allowed her to arrange the time of the day freely, and she didn't have to go back to the barracks tonight, but staying at Yunyan's place, although she didn't mind it in her heart, and even felt a little secretly happy, But in the end, it is not good for Yunyan's reputation.

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Lin Aoxue blinked her eyes, lowered her eyebrows slightly, and said:

"If I stay with you overnight, there will probably be inexplicable rumors outside in a few days, which will damage your reputation."

Even though they all knew that Yunyan's letting Lin Aoxue stay overnight was simply asking her to stay, but neither the servants outside nor the neighbors knew the truth.In their eyes, Yunyan would become indecent because of staying overnight with an unmarried man.

With great difficulty, Yunyan gradually got rid of the influence of Yanyulou's reputation as an oiran, and gained a foothold in Xingbeiguan. Lin Aoxue did not want Yunyan to be hurt by rumors any more.

Unexpectedly, Yunyan raised her eyebrows and said with a soft smile:

"Since when have you cared about baseless rumors?"

Lin Aoxue frowned, and argued:

"I don't care about the bad words directed at me, but I can't tolerate them being rude to you."

Lin Aoxue's straightforward words were still pleasant as always, and the smile on the corners of Yunyan's lips deepened. She gently shook Lin Aoxue's arm coquettishly, acting like a wronged little girl, and took the initiative to appeal:

"But I want you to stay with me."

But that soft and waxy voice hit Lin Aoxue's forehead like a heavy hammer, making her dizzy.She tried her best to look away, but the moving image of Yunyan couldn't be lingered in her mind no matter what.

"Mu Xue?"

Yunyan called again, calling Lin Aoxue's unknown name.

Lin Aoxue gritted her teeth violently, her face changed again and again, the struggle in her heart was most intuitively expressed on her face, but in the end she couldn't match Yun Yan's delicate and aggrieved soft words, she was defeated helplessly, and nodded in response road:

"Okay, I'll stay."

No wonder some people say that women who can act like a baby are the luckiest.

Yun Yan acted coquettishly, a hundred Lin Aoxue could only kneel down and beg for mercy.

After getting the desired answer from Lin Aoxue, Yunyan was extremely happy, giggled, wrapped her arms around Lin Aoxue's waist, threw herself into Lin Aoxue's arms, and suggested with a smile:

"It's windy outside, let's go back to the house."

Lin Aoxue nodded in agreement, walked through the corridor outside the house with Yun Yan, and walked into the house.

The small courtyard behind the medical hall is not big, except for the main hall for receiving guests and the kitchen and woodshed behind the hall, there is only one bedroom and two side rooms.No one lived in the wing room, so it was not tidied up, only a layer of brown straw was spread on the bed, and the bedding was put in other places and was not taken out.

Lin Aoxue had a hard time because of this, she thought that if she stayed overnight, she would live in a wing, but now it seems that Yun Yan's plan is completely different from hers.

Seeing Lin Aoxue deliberately glanced at the wing room, Yunyan couldn't understand what she meant, so she couldn't help but twitched her lips and said with a smile:

"If you stay overnight and live in a wing, how different is it from going back to the barracks?"

Lin Aoxue was stunned upon hearing the words, unable to find any words to refute.

Seeing her in a daze, Yun Yan added:

"I just want you to accompany me, but you don't want to?"

Lin Aoxue understood what she said, and hurriedly shook her head:

"Whatever Yan'er said, I am willing."

Yun Yan laughed:

"Then you will sleep with me tonight."

Lin Aoxue felt that her head was a bit out of control, she blushed violently, always felt that something was wrong, her eyelids trembled several times, and said awkwardly:

"This...isn't it good?"

"What's wrong? You and I are both women, what's the point of sleeping on the same couch?"

Yun Yan raised her eyebrows and smiled.

Lin Aoxue was stunned, her tongue seemed to be tied, she felt that what Yun Yan said was right, but she also felt that this was not the case, could the relationship between them be the same as those two ordinary women together?

Lin Aoxue was extremely conflicted, her brows were wrinkled, and her face was almost twisted into twists.

Seeing that Lin Aoxue was still awkward and refused to be tricked, Yunyan stopped her voice, with a look of sorrow on her face, and said resentfully:

"You just don't want to accompany me, there are so many excuses."

Lin Aoxue's heart trembled, and she hastily retorted:

"Oh, no! I'm willing, I'm willing, oh, I just want to stay, sleep on the same couch, don't cry."

Seeing that mist was about to gather in Yunyan's eyes, Lin Aoxue panicked and hurriedly answered her words.

Yun Yan sniffed, with tears still in her eyes, she looked up at her:

"You are not allowed to fool me."

Looking at Yun Yan's delicate appearance, how could Lin Aoxue say no, she resignedly raised her hands in surrender, and nodded repeatedly:

"Okay, okay, I won't bully you, I will listen to you."

Only then did Yunyan smile with satisfaction, the mist in her eyes disappeared in a short while, Lin Aoxue was dumbfounded, and finally realized that Yunyan was setting her up, and she felt helpless but at the same time had to be obedient, who Let her like to follow this girl, and she will be happy if she can make Yunyan happy.

In the evening, Lin Aoxue and Yunyan lie on the couch together after washing up, Yunyan sleeps inside, Lin Aoxue lies on the outside, at night, Yunyan turns sideways, Lin Aoxue's mask has been removed, and it is placed on the low table beside her, from her perspective, It was easy to see the scar on Lin Aoxue's face.

Lin Aoxue's eyes were closed, her expression was soft and calm, as if she had fallen asleep.

The hazy night blurred the scars on her face, and the water-colored soft white moonlight came in through the window, hitting Lin Aoxue's eyebrows and eyes, with a slight warmth in the gentleness.In this small shabby room, there was another person's breath for no reason, and it actually dispelled all the cold air that had shrouded the room in the past.

She thought that she was used to being alone, even if Lin Aoxue was in her heart, she could live a good life alone.

But it wasn't until Lin Aoxue was lying next to her that she could really touch her, that she realized that there was a real difference between having this person and not having this person.

Yunyan stared at Lin Aoxue's side face for a while, Lin Aoxue frowned, then her eyelids trembled slightly, and slowly opened, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes, she looked sideways at Yunyan, and asked:

"Can't sleep?"

Lin Aoxue didn't fall asleep in the first place, she was very nervous, she was afraid that her hands and feet would not fit properly, she wanted to wait for Yun Yan to fall asleep, and then she would sleep again.Unexpectedly, Yunyan not only did not sleep, but also stared at her with wide eyes. Being stared at by her sweetheart for a long time, Lin Aoxue couldn't sit still.

Yun Yan shook her head, smiled warmly, and answered her:

"Want to talk to you."

Lin Aoxue also turned sideways when she heard this, put one arm on her ear, and looked at Yunyan softly:

"Well, say what?"

Yun Yan frowned, actually she didn't think about what to say, it was not bad to quietly look at Lin Aoxue's sleeping face in a daze, but when Lin Aoxue opened her eyes to look at her, she felt that since they were not asleep, maybe We can chat for a while.

She tilted her head, thought for a while and then said:

"No, tell me about what you did when you were practicing at Yuanming Temple? Would you chant sutras like those monks?"

Lin Aoxue immediately raised the corners of her lips when she heard the words, and a smile that she couldn't help but said:

"At that time, I was practicing with my hair, and I didn't become a monk. My master said that I was too hostile to be a monk. Besides, I couldn't be a monk because of my status. He took me to practice martial arts and meditate. I told him the year before last. I haven't fulfilled my wish, my vengeance has not been avenged, and my obsession has not given up. I have to go down the mountain, but he didn't say anything, and let me come down."

Yun Yan listened to Lin Aoxue's words, but her eyes revealed deep thought, and she asserted:

"Then Master Hongming must know your identity."

With the strength of Lin Aoxue alone, it is impossible to quietly change her identity file, but Master Hongming is not the same.Before Hongming left the capital, he was a prominent official with a prominent position, and his disciples were all over the world. There are also many important officials in the current court who are disciples of Master Hongming. He is Hong Ming's mentor.

Such a person, even though he has been away from Beijing for many years, still has some prestige, and changing Lin Aoxue's file is just a matter of little effort.

Lin Aoxue pondered for a moment, her identity was no secret to Yunyan, she also knew the true meaning of the identity mentioned in Yunyan's words, and said:

"Yes, he knows my identity."

With Hongming's wisdom, even though Lin Aoxue had the intention of keeping her name anonymous at that time, she definitely couldn't hide it from his eyes, and she wanted the secret of her identity not to be revealed, so she had to confess to Hongming, otherwise, there would be no Hongming to cover it up for her. Her very existence is a sin in Beichen, let alone entering the barracks openly, she is not suspected by Beichenlong and others.

For Hongming, Lin Aoxue has always been very grateful. She still remembers that year, it was still the most bleak time in the cold winter months, when she was bullied because of the ugly scar on her face, those beggars drove her out of the ruined temple, and she was alone , without even a place to stay, with thin clothes, cold and hungry, almost died on the streets of West Market.

It was Hongming who came to Beijing to give lectures, passed by Xishi, picked her up, and brought her back to Yuanming Mountain. Even though he knew her true identity, he didn't say much.Lin Aoxue didn't remember very clearly, she only had a vague impression that at that time, the expression in Hong Ming's eyes seemed to be filled with compassion, and there seemed to be two points of remorse and regret.

He said to Lin Aoxue:

"You are too obsessed."

Lin Aoxue didn't say much, Hongming said again:

"You have been meditating in Yuanming Mountain for ten years. If you don't change your mind, go down the mountain."

During those ten years, Hong Ming taught her martial arts, taught her the art of war, but never mentioned her parents and the past. Lin Aoxue devoted all her energy to practicing martial arts. The People's Front was beaten all over her body, and as long as she had a breath, she would try her best to get back up again.

Ten years of persistence, the original intention remains unchanged.

Lin Aoxue's eyes are full of reminiscence, but also helplessness and regret. She was 19 years old when she went to the famous mountain. She has passed the most suitable age for martial arts. It takes a hundred times the efforts of ordinary people to achieve today's achievements.

She picked up some ordinary words about her experience at that time, and buried her pain and grievances in her stomach, but even so, it was still unbelievable for Yunyan to tell the hardships from her mouth.

It is not easy for everyone to live, and each has their own hardships. Except for those who have really endured those sufferings, no one else can empathize with them.

Yunyan's heart fluctuates as Lin Aoxue tells her own story. Seeing Lin Aoxue telling her past with a smile on her face, Lin Aoxue's unbearable and unstoppable tears are looming in the corners of Lin Aoxue's eyes, and Yunyan's heart is sometimes painful and sometimes sour.

Lin Aoxue's life was so bitter that even Yun Yan, who was always good at words, didn't know how he could comfort her at this moment.

But what Lin Aoxue wanted was not Yunyan's comfort. No matter how hard those years were, they were finally over. Although the obsession in her heart has not been dispelled, she is no longer alone. Being able to tell others, her joys and sorrows, and even every little thing in life, can be shared with Yunyan.

This is enough to satisfy her.

If one day, she can avenge her vengeance and have the opportunity to take this woman in front of her as her own, then she will be lucky.

Lin Aoxue wiped the teardrops from the corners of her eyes, and when she raised her eyes again, Yunyan suddenly came over, and under Lin Aoxue's dazed gaze, she hugged Lin Aoxue into her arms forcefully.Lin Aoxue's face was forced to be buried in the soft spot of Yunyan's chest. After a brief moment of daze, Lin Aoxue quickly understood where her face was pressed against.

In an instant, she forgot the sour feeling in her chest, her cheeks flushed with shame, and she was at a loss.

She wanted to break free from Yunyan's embrace, but she missed the warmth of this embrace, so she was in a dilemma for a while.Yun Yan seemed to understand her thoughts, and once again tightened her arms tightly, and said to her:

"Don't move, let me hold you for a while."

Lin Aoxue stopped struggling.

Yun Yan hugged Lin Aoxue quietly, without saying any comforting words, Lin Aoxue lay in Yun Yan's arms, she was very shy at first, not knowing what to do.A moment later, there was a very light sobbing sound in the silence, and Lin Aoxue was stunned by the sound.

Yunyan was crying.

This forbearable and silent cry is not the same as Yunyan's tears of pity when she first learned of Lin Aoxue's identity. Lin Aoxue could feel that Yunyan's tears contained deep regret and regret that she was in Lin Aoxue's most difficult years. It is a pity that Lin Aoxue has suffered so much for not being by her side to accompany her.

Following the slight sobs, Lin Aoxue's heart also trembled.

She hugged Yunyan back, released her fragility, and gave back to the extreme tenderness of those around her.

After an unknown amount of time, Yunyan stopped crying, and Lin Aoxue broke free from her embrace, wrapped her arms around Yunyan with her backhand, let Yunyan's face rest on her shoulder, and gently persuaded:

"It's getting late, go to sleep, be obedient."

Yunyan didn't argue with her, and she didn't mind why she was the one who listened to her, but she became the one who was comforted in the end. She leaned tightly on Lin Aoxue's shoulder, wrapped her waist and abdomen, pursed her red lips lightly, and then kissed her lips. Slightly lifted, the voice is weak and the mosquito chants:

"I will, too, avenge you."

During the New Year's Eve, she once asked Lin Aoxue if she would avenge her, Lin Aoxue's answer was yes, and now, Yunyan also felt sorry for Lin Aoxue's suffering and felt that it was unfair. She also wanted to share the suffering of torture for Lin Aoxue.

However, her voice was too soft, Lin Aoxue couldn't hear clearly, so she lowered her head and asked:

"What did you just say?"

Tears were in the corners of Yunyan's eyes, but the corners of her mouth curled up, and she replied with a smile:

"I said, it's great to meet you, and it would be even better if you could marry me right away."

Lin Aoxue's face froze, she looked away and dared not answer.

Yun Yan never thought of making Lin Aoxue let go, this person is as stubborn as a donkey, no matter how much she persuades her, she will not be able to persuade her, so she is willing to wait until Lin Aoxue puts down the burden on her shoulders, Get rid of all burdens and live together with her, even if you don't know how many changes will happen in the future, and it doesn't matter whether your wish will come true in the end.

She rubbed hard in Lin Aoxue's arms, found a comfortable position, and soon fell asleep, maybe because of being hugged by Lin Aoxue, she always had a soft smile on her lips, peaceful and beautiful.

Lin Aoxue was still struggling with what Yunyan said just now. When she lowered her head again, she saw that Yunyan had fallen asleep. While she was relieved, she also felt a little inexplicably lost. Finally, she shook her head helplessly and sighed softly. Laugh at yourself as cowardly and cowardly.

She turned her head sideways, and planted a kiss on Yunyan's forehead, then closed her eyes, put aside all distracting thoughts in her mind, and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, the two woke up almost at the same time, looked at each other sleepily, and saw a moment of confusion in each other's eyes, which turned into a soft and touching smile a moment later, flowing in each other's hearts.

Lin Aoxue stayed in the medical hall for breakfast, then arranged her clothes, bid farewell to Yunyan and went back to the barracks. When she left, the two servants in the medical hall winked at each other, obviously thinking that Lin Aoxue was the husband-in-law of their future hall owner .

Just after she came out of the clinic, Lin Aoxue felt empty in her heart, and she fell in lovesickness.

All the way back to the camp with wandering thoughts, Lin Aoxue poured a basin of cold water and patted her face to wake herself up, and then went to Beichenlong's camp, and made arrangements for the recent battle in Yiping, as well as the casualties in the army and the surrendered troops. The situation and other important matters were reported to Bei Chenlong concisely.

Bei Chenlong was very pleased, and left after Lin Aoxue reported his general affairs. Bei Chenlong sat on the chair in front of the case, holding a brush in his hand, but his eyes showed deep thought, and the pen did not land on the paper for a long time. .

After a while, Bei Chenlong put down his pen and turned to ask the person behind him:

"The military adviser thinks, what is the timing now?"

The army from the north won two consecutive victories, severely injuring the army from the south. The situation was excellent. Bei Chenlong was in the limelight for a while. He wondered if this was the right time for him to make a next move.

However, after a while of silence, the person behind replied:

"It still owes some heat."

Hearing the words, Bei Chenlong was not angry, but frowned slightly, and asked:

"Since the heat is lacking, how should the fire be increased?"

The person behind the screen did not hide his secrets, saying:

"When there was a drought, the Central Plains had no crops, the people were struggling to survive, and there were many complaints. The emperor insisted on going his own way and forced the conscription, which has aroused public anger. Now the soldiers and horses in the crusade against the northern border have been defeated one after another. I privately think that the firewood lies on the people."

Bei Chenlong accepted the teaching with an open mind, and his eyes were thoughtful.

After a few days, there was still no rain in Beichen, and the famine became more and more serious. Victims also appeared in Xingbei, Mingzheng, and Poyan. The people were grateful, and the victims of the disaster in the nearby towns heard that the general of Xingbeiguan was benevolent, and rushed to join him.

For another three days, rumors started to spread in the Central Plains, saying that the emperor was extravagant and licentious, disregarding the sufferings of the people, and even persecuting brothers and sisters. Change of owner.

Rebellious soldiers began to appear in various parts of Beichen. Some of them were idle teams composed of bandits, and some were ambitious people who could not bear the harsh government. More and more rebels caused great turmoil in the Central Plains. The emperor panicked and was extremely furious. Then they sent troops north to find Beichenlong's troubles, and turned their spearheads on these disorderly troops.

At the same time, Beichenlong designated land in the north as king, named Xing, and issued an edict to recruit people with lofty ideals to join the army. Those chaotic troops who had nowhere to go after being besieged by the emperor went north one after another, and took refuge in Beichenlong. In just over a month, Beichenlong gathered more than [-] soldiers and horses, expanding the power in the northern border once again.

With 50 soldiers in hand, Bei Chenlong's ambitions were unprecedentedly inflated, coupled with the growing voices of the people, Bei Chenlong finally made up his mind to rely on public opinion and sent his troops south.

Lin Aoxue was promoted again, and Bei Chenlong promoted her to be a partial general, while Pei Qing became a fourth-rank general.

The day before the army set off, Bei Chenlong summoned the army to the school grounds. The school grounds at Xing Beiguan accommodated more than [-] soldiers and horses, and it was already very crowded. All the soldiers promised loudly:

"I, Beichenlong, and the emperor are relatives, and we are also the descendants of the royal family who are qualified to inherit the great rule. The emperor brother is unkind, arrogant, extravagant, oppressing the poor, not defending against the enemy outside, and causing troubles inside. If this continues, Beichen Kingdom will definitely die Fall apart!"

"You are all generals of Beichen. Now that the country is declining and the world is rising and falling, everyone is responsible! If I, Beichenlong, can sit on the throne one day, you will all be the founding fathers of the country! Three generations of Fuyin!"

Between his words, he was quite emotional. Bei Chenlong couldn't remember the last time he was so moved, but at this moment, his heart was full of enthusiasm, as if the whole person suddenly became ten years younger. With the motivation to fight hard, it coincides with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the opportunity will never come again!

The army in the audience shouted loudly:

"King Xing will win the world!"

Bei Chenlong shattered the wine bowl in his hand, and drank loudly:

"Send troops to the south!"

The army set off today, and the time was so rushed that Lin Aoxue didn't even have time to meet Yun Yan again.

Bei Chenlong appointed Pei Qing and Lin Aoxue as the pioneers to march into the Central Plains, leading an army of 30 to the south, while he himself left 20 soldiers and horses to continue guarding the Xingbei Pass.

When the army passed through Yiping, the gates of Qimo City were opened wide, allowing the team led by Lin Aoxue and Pei Qing to move forward unimpeded. The two led the army all the way forward, with momentum like a rainbow, and rushed to Jueyang, two hundred miles away from Yiping.

Jueyang is a small county town, surrounded by several small villages. Compared with Yiping and Xingbeiguan, the density of villages around Jueyang is relatively large, because Xingbeiguan is a border town, and there are many wars in many villages. They were all trampled by the barbarians' iron hoofs, and the surviving people moved to other places, or went to Xingbei Pass. Over time, the villages outside the pass became sparse.

Because the harvest of the farmland is not good, seeing the coming of the war, the common people stay behind closed doors, but Pei Qing and Lin Aoxue lead the army marching, it is inevitable that they have to borrow the way from the village outside the city, they did not stay too long when passing the village , and issued a strict order in the army that the people are not allowed to move a single cent, and those who violate it will be beheaded in public.

A soldier slipped on his feet and accidentally fell into the farmland, crushing a piece of rice. Lin Aoxue ordered this person to bear ten military sticks. The whole team became more solemn. No one dared to touch the bottom line of the two generals. Those who wanted to pick a few grains and one or two melons from the farmland withdrew their hands tremblingly.

The team quickly left the village. Lin Aoxue ordered to rest outside the village, and then strictly counted the troops and horses. The soldiers who hid in the team and refused to obey the military order, and stole the people's property were all found out. Pei Qing was not at all. His hands were soft, and he directly ordered the beheading, which made the soldiers who had thought of stealing it chill.

Lin Aoxue and Pei Qing were strict in running the army, and their attitude of refusing to condone was deeply rooted in the hearts of the army. Afterwards, the army walked through the village, all in a hurry, with solemn faces, no one dared to steal it anymore, and the speed of marching was much faster. .

When the people in the village heard about this, they were all surprised and shocked. When the southern army went north to attack the Xingbeiguan rebels, they also passed by these villages. It left a very bad impression on the hearts of the common people. Now that the army from the northern border has come over, Qiu has not committed any crimes. Only the quality of the army has already distinguished the good from the bad in their hearts.

Two days after coming out of Yiping, the army arrived at Jueyang City. There were not many troops stationed in Jueyang City, only 30 troops. Facing the [-] troops behind Lin Aoxue and Pei Qing, the Jueyang City guards were so frightened that they almost peed Trousers, he could barely stand still with the support of his guards.

The walls around the small city of Jueyang are made of mud tiles, but they are only about two feet high. If the city guards don't know the current affairs, and Pei Qinglin and Aoxue lead an attack, and the army overwhelms the city, within an hour, Jueyang will be destroyed.And the troops stationed in Jueyang City were also trembling, fearing that if the two sides really fought, they probably wouldn't be able to survive.

Jueyang City Guard didn't struggle too much, Lin Aoxue shouted from the bottom of the city tower, this man immediately rolled and scrambled to open the city gate, but anyone with a normal mind understands the current situation, if he stubbornly resists, he is not the only one who will suffer One person, but the whole Jueyang behind him.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away. The troops sent by the emperor have been beaten to nowhere by the army of the northern border. He had a way out, so he hurriedly agreed.

The army stayed in Jueyang for half a day to rest and reorganize. At the same time, the city defense of Jueyang was replaced with the soldiers and horses they led. The soldiers in the city will be merged into the army and march to the next city together.

For half a month like this, the troops led by Lin Aoxue and Pei Qing were devastated wherever they went, counties and cities surrendered one after another, and those who resisted angrily did not last for a day or two before the cities were occupied by the northern army.

In just half a month, Lin Aoxue and Pei Qing visited three cities and reached the hinterland of the Central Plains.

It was the end of summer, but the sun showed no signs of loosening. It was still scorching the world of Beichen, the land was dry and cracked, and cracks appeared in the fields like spider webs. No income.The famine is getting worse and worse, and ordinary people are suffering unbearably.

After Lin Aoxue and two went south to three cities, when they arrived at the fourth city called Baihe, they also started to feel troubled.

The farther the army was from Xingbei Pass, the more attrition began to increase. As they continued to march forward, the troops were also exhausted. The rice grains at Xingbei Pass were used for disaster relief. Although there were supplies from time to time, compared to the wear and tear of the war, it It's a drop in the bucket, and it can't bring any real help to the situation of Lin Aoxue and Pei Qing.

They stationed thirty miles outside Baihe City, and sent scouts to investigate the situation inside the city. They got news that Baihe River was very big, almost as big as Xingbeiguan, but its city defense was weak, and an army could easily break through the city.

The reason why Baihe's city defense is so weak is not because the city walls are not strong enough, nor is it because Baihe City is not strictly guarded, but because Baihe is the largest county town within a thousand miles. The rebel army also came to harass and rob Baihe's food from time to time. The city of Baihe was full of victims of starvation and starvation.

It happened to be the scorching heat at this time, and the victims who died of starvation had no time to clean up, and soon a plague broke out in the city. There were so many people in the city, and the city guards were extremely busy. The soldiers guarding the city saw that the disaster was serious. Turning a blind eye, the soldiers in Baihe City were scattered. If they hadn't received a fixed salary in the army, they would have been disarmed and returned to the fields long ago, becoming deserters.

Such an environment is not suitable for fighting at all. Lin Aoxue and Pei Qing looked around Baihe City from the hillside outside the city, and felt that the scene was extremely miserable. If they attacked Baihe at this time, even though they had a great chance of winning, they would never Undoubtedly, it will also cause trouble in this city.

Pei Qing wrote an urgent report in his hand and sent someone back to Xing Beiguan. On the evening of the same day, he received the latest military order from Bei Chenlong, ordering the army to retreat and retreat to Wuyang, the Lincheng city of Baihe. After a short rest, the troops were divided into two groups. 15 soldiers and horses marched towards the east and west sides to expand the territory of the northern border.

The process of marching was undoubtedly very smooth, but Lin Aoxue encountered bandits in the process of leading his troops to the next city.

This group of bandits was also one of the uprising teams, but they chose to rely on themselves instead of joining the northern army. When Lin Aoxue led the troops across the valley, they were intercepted by this group of bandits.

The leader of the bandit is also a capable person. Under such a dangerous environment, he rebelled, and within a month after the start of the war, he gathered a bandit team of nearly [-] people and burned and killed nearby villages. Looted, occupied a mountain bag, and made himself king.

While Lin Aoxue's army was passing through the valley, the second leader of the bandits sent people to guard on both sides. When Lin Aoxue's army turned into a long dragon and passed through the valley, he seized the opportunity and attacked the grain transport team behind the army.The transportation soldiers of this food and grass team were brought up by Lin Aoxue himself, they can be regarded as Lin Aoxue's personal soldiers.

When the bandits came, the transportation soldiers reacted quickly, and immediately protected the food and grass behind the army, and quickly formed a formation, moving in a flustered manner to resist the bandits' attack.

There were a few good fighters in the banditry team, they charged bravely, took advantage of the terrain and took advantage of the chaos to hit a first striker, a wave of attacks came down, killed more than a dozen soldiers under Lin Aoxue's men, and successfully took away a grain cart, but when they were able to retreat , was bitten to death by soldiers transporting food, and it was difficult to escape.

Lin Aoxue's soldiers reacted faster than he expected, the bandit leader led the bandit soldiers to fight and retreat, entangled for about a stick of incense, Lin Aoxue led the bodyguards to come on horseback, the bandit soldiers fought with Lin Aoxue, After more than ten moves, Lin Aoxue shot the scimitar in his hand.

Seeing that the bandit leader had been captured, the discerning little leader immediately ordered to abandon the grain truck and retreat. The group of bandit soldiers came and went like the wind, and soon disappeared. The turmoil subsided quickly, and when the bandit soldiers dispersed Afterwards, Lin Aoxue did not order to pursue, but ordered the army to speed up the march, pass through the valley, and garrison in a relatively open position to rest.

Lin Aoxue's soldiers threw the bandit leader tied up on the ground, questioning his name and origin, but the man turned his face to one side and did not respond to any words of reprimand.

"I think you are good at martial arts, why don't you join the Xingbei army, but you want to be that bandit?"

Lin Aoxue saw that the guard couldn't find anything out of it, so she stepped forward, without putting on airs, she raised her chin to signal the guard to untie him, and the guard quickly untied the rope without hesitation.Lin Aoxue's martial arts skills are outstanding, even if this person has two hands, it is impossible to escape from Lin Aoxue's grasp.

The bandit leader was really surprised. He glared at Lin Aoxue and recognized Lin Aoxue as the one who knocked down the scimitar in his hand and knocked him down. The half mask on his face was too eye-catching. He quickly separated Lin Aoxue from rumors. Corresponding to the number, he did not answer Lin Aoxue's words, but asked instead:

"You are the Masked Rakshasa, Lin Aoxue?!"

Lin Aoxue was taken aback when she heard the words, she never thought that she had such a nickname among the people, she raised her hand and touched her chin, then raised the corners of her lips amusedly, and answered leisurely:

"If the masked Rakshasa you're talking about is Lin Aoxue from Xing Beiguan, then it's me."

The bandit leader snorted lightly, clicked his lips, and hummed:

"It's better to be famous than to meet each other. I said that the masked Rakshasa was born with such a vicious spirit. How could he be a small student who hides his face?"

If you don't look at the half mask on Lin Aoxue's right cheek, her appearance is actually pure and beautiful, thanks to years of experience, her complexion is not as white and flawless as ordinary women, even though she looks thinner than ordinary men, But there was a fierce aura about her, so no one would associate her with a woman.

Lin Aoxue laughed when she heard the words, she was not in a hurry to torture this person, but followed his words:

"This rumor is not credible at all. Seeing me come now, but you are disappointed?"

Seeing that Lin Aoxue didn't put up airs, and didn't intentionally make things difficult for him, the bandit leader cut down most of his hostility towards Lin Aoxue. Hearing this, he shook his head and replied frankly:

"No, you don't look very good, but your martial arts are really good, you deserve this title!"

Lin Aoxue was amused by the bandit leader. When she came earlier, she just wanted to test the depth of this bandit. But after a few words, she really wanted to attract him, so she asked again:

"Your kung fu is also good, why can't you think about robbing my way?"

This time in an ambush, he brought thousands of people, not many of them, but they were very courageous, and dared to rob Lin Aoxue's grain carts in a team of tens of thousands of people.

The bandit leader grimaced, and answered nonchalantly:

"We don't want to take advantage of those ordinary people. Although we have wiped out all the bandits nearby, there is no food this year. The brothers have been hungry. If this continues, we will all starve to death. I heard that your team is fighting here. Pass by, I'll try my luck!"

Lin Aoxue couldn't help laughing, she didn't expect that this person led the horse to rush to her team just because he was hungry and wanted to try his luck.

At the same time, she also noticed what this person said, that the head of the family refused to rob the farmers of food, and even wiped out the bandits, he was a strange person.She twitched her lips and asked with a smile:

"Since there is a shortage of food, why don't you join the army? Once you join the army, you will naturally have food."

Hearing her words, the bandit leader curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and hummed coldly:

"Soldiers have to practice on time every day, and orders are prohibited. Once there is a military order, they will immediately go to the battlefield and die. How can you be a bandit and enjoy yourself!"

Lin Aoxue couldn't refute this point. In comparison, bandits were indeed more at ease, but she was not in a hurry, and replied:

"If you want to get something, you have to pay first. If you join the army, you don't have to go hungry. Isn't it reasonable to obey military orders in exchange? Do you think this is the reason?"

Hearing the words, the bandit leader was taken aback for a moment, his eyes thoughtful.

Lin Aoxue changed her mind and was not in a hurry to march anymore. She looked up at the sky and saw that it was almost time to fire, so she waved her hand to tell the team to stop, set up camp and cook, and at the same time asked someone to bring a portion of food to the bandit leader later. , turned around and walked away.

She wondered in her heart whether this group of bandits and their leader, the leader, might be recruited to surrender. If it was true as people said, then even though the leader was a bandit, he had a benevolent heart. She has the talent to lead the army, if she can recruit them into her command, it may become a help.

Lin Aoxue clicked her tongue, called Lu Sheng, and secretly assigned him a mission, asking him to go to the nearby villages to find out whether the villagers had heard of these bandits, and if they were really like what the bandit leader said As he said, the bandit leader wiped out other bandits in the vicinity, and did not touch the grain and grass in the hands of the farmers, so the village would definitely be able to find out about them.
