Ye Youqing smelled the fragrance of her body, and felt that the fatigue of the past few days had finally eased, so the two of them were silent for a while, and Ye Youqing opened his mouth.

"Just now you..." Ye Youqing wanted to say, her appearance just now startled herself, and she felt that it was not very pleasant, so her voice gradually decreased.

"Scared you?" Ci Ke said suddenly, she let go of her hand, her eyes averted a little, "my look."

"How could it be?" Ye Youqing said hastily.

"Do you also think I'm cruel..."

"No." Before she finished speaking, Ye Youqing interrupted her. She shook her head, pulled Ci Ke up to the bedside, and watched her sit down obediently.

To be honest, although I was shocked at the time, but thinking about it now, there is only sourness in my heart, like looking at the gentle and gentle girl beside me, showing her minions in despair because of being bullied by others.

And it's because of myself.

Ye Youqing knew very well that she had never had any hot emotions, and she was used to loneliness since she was a child. The empty three rooms and one living room, and the aunt who left after cooking three meals a day made her very flat about everything.

After coming to ancient times, things got better. Some people cared about her everywhere, and some people lived and died with her, so she felt that those empty places were gradually being filled.

Ci Ke stared at Ye Youqing intently, then moved his body and leaned carefully on her shoulder.

The woman's head was very light, or she didn't dare to lean on it hard, some fluffy hair brushed her face, itching.

Dim lights enveloped the two of them, and the time in the room seemed to slow down. Occasionally, footsteps passed by outside, but it seemed to be far away in the sky.

Ci Ke suddenly opened her mouth, her eyelashes drooped, the candlelight danced in her pupils, and her red lips dazzled.

"Since I was a child, I have known that I am a disaster. Everything I own will eventually leave me. My mother, father, brother, the gatekeeper...all my cherished ones will die in front of me one by one. "Ci Ke said softly, his voice was like clouds in the sky, ethereal and smooth.

"I can't even keep my only friend."

Ye Youqing's heart trembled when he heard the words, and he stretched out his hand to pinch his thigh.

"I really don't know what will become of me if I lose you again." Ci Ke said, closing his eyes slightly, "I can even watch you leave me as a disaster star and live a peaceful and healthy life, as long as I know you Safety."

"Ye Youqing, don't be afraid of me..." Ci Ke said softly.

"Why would I be afraid of you." Ye Youqing walked around her chin, touched her ear, and said, "Isn't it just stabbing him a few times, that man has a vicious heart, this is his retribution."

"I killed a pig when I was a child, and the blood could splash on the roof when I cut it down." Ye Youqing said exaggeratedly.

A woman's tearful smile came from her ear.

The head on his shoulders sank, and Ye Youqing knew that Ci Ke was tired, so he turned slightly and pulled the quilt on the couch.

"What did Shili drink for you? It's calming, but it's like sleeping." Ye Youqing supported the back of Ci Ke's head, and carefully protected her to lie down slowly. She clings to her sleeves.

Ye Youqing was forced to bend over, and he took a closer look at the crystal seeping from the corners of the beauty's eyes, as well as the bright red lips like ripe berries.

Her heart skipped a beat, she was fascinated by the red lips, and then involuntarily lowered her head slowly.

The moment he was about to touch, Ye Youqing stopped, and finally stretched out his hand to pull the quilt up for her.

"Sleep." She said softly.

The night was as cold as water, Ye Youqing closed the door of the house, bumped into Shili who was coming back with a bowl, so he stretched out his hand to stop her: "Ci Ke is asleep, there is no need to drink."

Shili looked at the bowl in his hand regretfully, and handed it to Ye Youqing: "It's not easy to make medicine, you should drink it for her."

Ye Youqing shut his mouth tightly.

Now she was so sleepy that she could fall asleep with a stone on her pillow, if she continued to drink this bowl of soup, she might lose consciousness on the spot.

Shili shrugged, went into the house and put down the medicine bowl, and walked out again, standing side by side with Ye Youqing, watching the bright lights in the mountain depression, people were being taken out of the cave, and some were being carried, probably injured .

There were ordinary people and merchants inside, as well as the original cavalry. There was nowhere to house them, so they built a few sheds in the open air and distributed the boiled meat porridge.

"They've been digging underground all day, and they've suffered too." Ye Youqing murmured.

Shili sighed and nodded, turned his face and asked, "I saw you in a hurry today, and you didn't ask what happened last night?"

Ye Youqing told the truth about how he was taken to the back mountain, and his thick eyebrows frowned deeper and deeper as he listened for ten miles, and finally sighed: "Thanks to your cleverness, and thanks to the imprisoned king who thought of escaping and dug a passage, Otherwise, what I see now is a corpse."

"Who says it's not." Ye Youqing also felt a bit afraid of the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

"The man asked me to call him Mr. Liu. He didn't trust me at first. He didn't trust me until I took out the Fenghua Pendant and heard that I was a descendant of the Zhao family. He heard that most of the iron cavalry were deceived to go underground. Get out of the cave and come to the rescue." Ye Youqing said.

"Besides, if it wasn't for him, I really don't know that there is a lot of gunpowder buried under this mountain. Just pull the mechanism to burn down the cave. If I don't come here for a long time, I will let him destroy the mechanism."

Hearing the words ten miles away, he couldn't hide his astonishment.

While the two of them were talking, they saw a person running from a low place, stood in front of Ye Youqing and said, bending over and saying: "Miss, Mr. Liu, please go."

Hearing this, Ye Youqing waved to Shili and followed him down the mountain, passing by a shed full of meaty smells. People inside kept whispering, and some nodded to her gratefully.

Ye Youqing walked all the way to a brightly lit house, and saw someone carrying several corpses out, the corpses were wrapped in sackcloth.

Ye Youqing looked away, and waited for the corpse to go away before knocking on the door and entering.

The man inside still had messy hair and beard. Seeing Ye Youqing, he got up quickly and was supported by Ye Youqing to sit down.

"Old Liu, you are not in good health, you should sit down." Ye Youqing said.

Liu Laole sat down happily, looked at Ye Youqing from outside, with tears in his eyes for a moment, and said: "When I followed King Sirong to fight, I often heard him mention that I have a cute and cute granddaughter, and now seven years have passed. When you see it, the eyebrows and eyes of Zhenzhen are somewhat similar to that of King Sirong."

"It reminds me of the enthusiasm I had when I followed King Sirong to settle the country." Mr. Liu shook his head slowly, and sighed, "It's a pity that the good general has passed away, and now we have ended up in such a situation."

Ye Youqing saw how sad he was, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Don't sigh, grandpa has been rehabilitated now."

"Is this true?" Mr. Liu's eyes hidden in his beard widened suddenly, and he wanted to say something joyfully, but he bowed his head and coughed, and the tall and thin man beside him hurriedly stepped forward to pat him.

The man's name was Ding Cheng, and he was the first person Ye Youqing revealed his identity in the cave. He worriedly said to Ye Youqing: "Girl, Mr. Liu was imprisoned in a dank underground for four years before he was called Barefoot." The doctor looked at it and said that it was very sick, it was hard to..."

"It's okay." Liu Lao waved his hand, showing joy again, raised his face and continued, "Is this true?"

"Of course I won't lie to you." Ye Youqing replied, "Not only my grandfather, but also General Zhou, who fought together in the past, are now exonerated."

Mr. Liu nodded slowly, but the joy disappeared: "What's the use? I was devoted to defending my family and defending the country and driving out the enemy, but I ended up like this. The Tian family has no eyes, just how many rewards are given, those are two loyal ministers life..."

Seeing his sadness, Ye Youqing couldn't help bowing his head, and his heart became more and more aggrieved.

"Back when I heard the news of King Sirong's death, I wanted to go all the way to the capital, but not long after the enemy had retreated, the iron cavalry, no matter how godly they were, were mortal wombs. More than half of them were killed and injured. There were only a few hundred of our brothers left. How could we defeat ten enemies? Tens of millions of forbidden troops? I have no choice but to take my brothers and flee all the way north."

"At that time, the seal was tight, we had nowhere to hide, we could only hide in the mountains. What is the iron cavalry? It was an army trained by King Sirong himself. Before being taken in by King Sirong, we were all orphans and refugees, homeless , In today's peaceful and prosperous world, a group of soldiers who have no status and have never been out of the barracks don't know where to go."

In troubled times, he is regarded as a hero, but in prosperous times, he is abandoned like a mustard.Ye Youqing felt sore in his heart.

"Fortunately, I found ore in this mountain, and I knew that I could sell some silver, so I could make a living, so I settled down. Unexpectedly, a traitor appeared in the village and led a group of people to become bandits and rob passing merchants. I scolded that kid angrily, but he poisoned me and imprisoned me, and I lived underground for many years." As Liu Lao said, he started coughing again.

Ye Youqing quickly took the tea and handed it to Mr. Liu.

"Girl, I know my own body. I won't live long. The iron cavalry must have a backbone, or it will really fall apart." Mr. Liu took the teacup and said solemnly, "Girl is not only a descendant of Queen Sirong, but also holds a teacup that can give orders. With the elegance of the iron cavalry, and being able to go deep into the mountains and rescue me and all the brothers who were trapped, I believe that the girl must have the talent of a commander."

Under his gaze, Ye Youqing nodded slowly.

"I don't dare to be a commander-in-chief." Ye Youqing said, "But as long as I am here, I will never let them go hungry, and I won't suffer from seeing the sun all year round."

"Thank you, miss." Old Liu nodded.

Ye Youqing got up with a smile, persuaded Mr. Liu to rest earlier, and then said to Ding Cheng who was standing upright beside him, "Have you not finished killing people yet?"

Ding Cheng was taken aback: "No."

"Leave a few managers locked up. Tomorrow I have to ask where they sold the ore they dug up these years." Ye Youqing was already sleepy, so he could only explain as clearly as possible, "For the time being Don’t let those common people see the light of day, heal those who are injured first, and recuperate those who are not injured. After tonight, find some trustworthy brothers who still have strength and send them back to Weizhou City one after another.”

"Yes, girl." Ding Cheng lowered his head and cupped his fists, "Just now I cleaned up the house for the girl, and I'll take you there."

After Ye Youqing said goodbye to Mr. Liu, he staggered and turned around to go out, followed Ding Chengshen as he walked, as if he had just left, when he was startled by a black shadow rushing by the side of the road.

Ding Cheng quickly stretched out his hand to stop him, and said sharply, "Who is it?"

"Brother, this is my dear brother!" The visitor yelled loudly, lowered his head and slipped through Ding Cheng's outstretched arms, stood in front of Ye Youqing, and said excitedly, "They said you saved those people, Kill that bastard second king? And you are talking nonsense that you are a woman..."

Standing in front of Ye Youqing, A Chi looked at her long hair and thin pink lips, his face suddenly collapsed: "Are you really a woman?"

Ye Youqing straightened his waist and said, "It's obvious."

"I only heard that they said that you stole the second prince's marriage, so you should have a sister-in-law." A Chi said half in joke and half in disappointment.

"But I'm used to being called big brother, so could it be changed to big sister?" A Chi began to touch his head with great effort.

Ye Youqing was really sleepy, too lazy to talk to him, so he said softly: "Left and right, if you want to call me big brother, keep calling."

After all, pass him and go forward.

A Chi chased after him with his sick leg, and said with an apologetic smile, "Okay, then I'll call you big brother. But, can you talk to those people, don't you want to send me away?"

"Why, are you addicted to mining?" Ye Youqing looked down at his crooked leg.

"No, it's just that those people have homes to go back to. Me, my home is far away. Can you let me stay for a few days until my leg doesn't hurt?" A Chi chased after him with great effort.

Ye Youqing slowed down and looked back at him.

Although the man's face was dirty, his eyes were beautiful no matter how you looked at them.

"Okay." Ye Youqing nodded.

"Thank you, brother!" The man yelled loudly, Ye Youqing frowned slightly, and walked away quickly.

That night Ye Youqing slept in the dark, feeling trapped in some kind of deep sea vortex, he didn't even have a fragmented dream, when he opened his eyes, it was already noon, the hot sunlight was shining through the crack of the door, shaking Ye Youqing's eyes.

She covered her eyes tiredly, lay down for a while, and the memories of yesterday flashed by, and then she got up.

Open the door, there is a washing basin and a stack of clothes at the door, the clothes are men's black clothes, I think there is nothing women can wear in this mountain depression.

Ye Youqing washed himself once, and felt much refreshed. Then he put on his clothes, tied his black hair behind his back with a rope, and went out.

Although the sun is very strong, the mountains are still full of mist, and the greenery in the distance is covered with a layer of light veil, but it has a faint blue color. The sky is as clear and lofty as washed by water.

Some of the sheds all over the ground were put away, and most of the people had already been placed in houses. It was time for meals and the smell of the mountains.

Ye Youqing wailed in her stomach. She was really hungry, so she clutched her stomach and walked towards the hillside where Ci Ke was, and saw two women sitting on the long table where the open space hadn't been put away in time. One was talking, Another was serving her soup.

"Ye Youqing!" Ci Ke waved his hand at her, his face had no makeup, but his face was rosy from a good night's sleep, his eyes were bright, and his mouth was like a pill.

Ye Youqing ran forward and sat down, and Ci Ke quickly put a bowl of rice in front of her: "Sister Shili said that you have to go without food for a whole day, be careful that you will starve."

Ye Youqing smiled at her, took the rice, picked up a dish with chopsticks, lowered his head and ate it gracefully and quickly. After a while, the bowl of rice was drained.

She was about to say another bowl, when she heard footsteps behind her, the man who had already washed his face climbed up with difficulty, sat down on his own, and flattered him: "Brother, I can't eat enough meat porridge, they say I'm in poor health , and don’t give me food.”

"You have to eat it yourself." Ye Youqing said perfunctorily, pushing the rice bowl in front of him to him.

Suddenly hearing that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, she raised her head and saw Ci Ke tightly clutching the bowl in her hand.

"What's wrong?" Ye Youqing asked worriedly.

Ci Ke didn't look at her, but stared at the man angrily, and the bowl in his hand fell back on the table with a clatter.

"Brother..." she whispered incredulously.
