General's humble stand-in

The quiet night seemed to bury everything, and bloodthirsty and killing no longer existed.Only when the breeze stirred the messy hair and stained the tears on the cheeks, the pain was unforgettable.

Tao Zhuo lay on his side not far from Gu Yan, holding Xiao Bao who was still soundly asleep in his arms.Pressing his forehead against the child's arm, he bit his lip hard with his silver white teeth, even holding back his tears and not daring to make a sound.

In the early hours of the morning, a streak of whiteness appeared on the horizon, and Tao Zhuo couldn't bear the sleepiness and gradually fell asleep.It's just that the sleepiness is very light, and even the slightest sound can wake him up.

He heard Gu Yan ask, "Where are you hurt?"

Immediately afterwards, Xu Tianlei sobbed helplessly. He cried and said, "My heart hurts so much. I watched them kill innocent people, but I couldn't do anything. Why? Why must I face all this? I I just want to be an idle boy and don't care about worldly affairs. Is it because I don't have to choose my life because of my background? I'm afraid of death, I'm afraid of pain, I'm afraid of too many things. General Gu, I really don't know. Do your best."

Yes, he tried his best, broke through the siege and saved a child.Xu Tianlei's shoulders shook violently, his cheeks were nestled on his knees and he couldn't help crying.

Gu Yan didn't say anything, just patted Xu Tianlei's shoulder lightly.

You can't choose your birth, and you can't choose your life.Gu Yan also felt heartbroken and helpless. The most innocent and carefree young man in the past will eventually be baptized by the wind, sand and blood on the battlefield into another look.

Tao Zhuo didn't feel sleepy anymore, she shed tears silently following Xu Tianlei's suppressed crying.

When the sky became brighter, Xu Tianlei also slowly stopped crying. He looked at Gu Yan with red eyes, "General Gu, are your eyes okay?"

"I can see things, but everything I see is blurry, as if covered by a film of water."

Xu Tianlei asked again, "When did you see it? And you didn't tell me, which made me worry all the time."

Tao Zhuo on the other side pricked up his ears, he also wanted to know when Gu Yan's eyes could be seen.one day ago?two days ago?Thinking that I was still showing off my power in front of him like a clown, I'm afraid he would take it as a joke.

However, Gu Yan didn't get an answer, Gu Yan just turned his head and looked towards Tao Zhuo, his obsidian-like black pupils reflected a subtle sense of self-blame.

Maybe he shouldn't covet the short-term peace and comfort, if he left earlier, he wouldn't drag Taozhuo into endless pain again.

"Cough, cough." The cough came uninvited, Tao Zhuo hurriedly got up and ran a long way for fear of waking Xiaobao, and then bent over and covered his lips and coughed uncontrollably.

Gu Yan wanted to step forward, but stopped after taking a step.If you can't make a promise, don't provoke again.

Although this place is only a hundred miles away from the military camp, but to avoid the enemy along the way, they had to walk on remote and rugged roads, and it took four days to return to the military camp.

"The general is back, the general is back." With the cry of the sentinel, the entire barracks erupted.

It was also an evening full of afterglow, Tao Zhuo held Xiaobao in his arms, and once again looked at the fiery sunset.Obviously it is still the setting sun, it is still so dazzling, but it is no longer as beautiful as it used to be, but it is so ferocious that Tao Zhuo dare not look at it more.

Lifting your feet to follow Gu Zhan's pace, meeting and following each other is all due to fate.

Cheng Ziyuan, who was wearing black armor, ran over in a hurry, exchanged a few simple greetings with Gu Yan, and then rushed towards Xu Tianlei.When he saw Tao Zhuo, he was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the tent.

And Tao Zhuo inadvertently followed Cheng Ziyuan's gaze, and immediately noticed Mo Zizhi standing by the tent.

——Wearing a crescent-white embroidered costume, she looks graceful and graceful.The setting sun dyed his hair and eyelashes a thin layer of golden yellow, and his eyes seemed to contain the morning dew, crystal clear and fragile.

In contrast, Tao Zhuo, who had to take care of Xiaobao after running around for several days, seemed extremely embarrassed.He lowered his eyes, like a speck of dust under the light, humble and insignificant.My heart seemed to be blocked, unspeakably uncomfortable.

Little Treasure in his arms twisted his body and said softly, "Daddy, your hand hurts me."

The moment she saw Mo Ziji, there was nothing else in Gu Yan's heart.He hurried forward, resisting the urge to hold him in his arms, raised his fingers to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of Mo Zizhi's eyes.

"I'm fine, don't worry." Gu Yan, who was exhausted, comforted him first, as if he was born to protect Mo Ziji like this.

Tao Zhuo seemed to be superfluous, standing in the same place with Xiaobao in his arms, a little at a loss.Fortunately, Cheng Ziyuan and Xu Tianlei haven't forgotten him yet, and took him to the camp where he stayed.

"This is my residence." Cheng Ziyuan said while tidying up the messy bed, "I'm going to live with Tianlei, you take the child to live here first."

Compared with Xu Tianlei, Cheng Ziyuan may be a natural general.Wearing armor, he is not as sluggish as he was in Shengjing, and he has the spirit of a hero.It's just that Tao Zhuo always feels that it's not like the first time we met back then. After all, he still lacks a bit of unruly and more vicissitudes of life that shouldn't be there.

After sending their two brothers outside the camp, Tao Zhuo finally couldn't help asking, "Why is Mo Ziji in the military camp? You can also take it with you when you go out..."

Tao Zhuo paused for a moment, not knowing how to describe the relationship between Mo Zizhi and Gu Yan, what kind of title to use.

On the contrary, both Cheng Ziyuan and Xu Tianlei understood Tao Zhuo's meaning, and Xu Tianlei explained to him, "It was not allowed to bring it, but General Gu issued a military order in front of the emperor. If Mo Zizhi misunderstood the military situation, General Gu will die. Apologize to the world. In this way, the emperor had no choice but to agree. I heard that it was General Gu who was afraid that the princess would hurt Mo Zizhi, so he insisted on bringing him by his side. This feeling..."

Cheng Ziyuan on the side gently pushed Xu Tianlei, and reminded in a low voice, "Okay, stop talking."

Only then did Xu Tianlei remember that Tao Zhuo and Gu Zhuo also had a past.He shut his mouth suddenly, and didn't say another word.

Tao Zhuo lowered his head and wrung his fingers, saying that everything would be a thing of the past, but he felt uncontrollably sad.

Maybe it's Gu Yan's kindness to Mo Zizhi, which always makes Taozhuo a little jealous.

Turning around and entering the tent, I saw Xiaobao kneeling on the bed, saying pitifully, "Daddy, I'm hungry."

I have been on the road for four consecutive days, because I dare not catch fire, so I can only rely on wild fruits to satisfy my hunger.The three of them were okay, but Xiaobao was hungry after suffering.Frightened by the killing again, the child didn't dare to speak much along the way.

Tao Zhuo leaned over and rubbed Xiao Bao's little head, "Wait, Daddy will go get you something to eat, and you must be obedient and not run around."

Since they couldn't go to Gu Yan, Tao Zhuo was the only one who was in an embarrassing situation among the three of them.After inquiring about the tent where Xu Tianlei was with the patrolling soldiers, Tao Zhuo walked quickly.

The more afraid you are, the more you will see it. God likes to joke so much.Seeing that he was approaching Xu Tianlei's tent, he collided with Mo Zizhi who suddenly came out of the tent.

Both of them were taken aback for a moment, and then they tacitly looked away from each other.

"Are you looking for Fengxi?" Mo Zikeng spoke first, easing the embarrassment between each other.

Tao Zhuo shook his head, "I want to ask General Cheng, where is the food camp, the child is hungry."

"Then let me go, I happen to be going to get some food for Feng Xi."

Following behind Mo Ziei, Tao Zhuo silently kept a distance from him.In this military camp, only the two of them are different from the others, when the soldiers' gaze drifts over, Tao Zhuo feels even more uncomfortable, as if being compared with Mo Zizhi at any time.

At this moment, Mo Zizhi who was walking in front suddenly said, "I heard from Feng Xi that you healed his eyes, thank you."

I especially remember that the first time Mo Zizhi said thank you, it was also because of Gu Yan.At that time, Taozhuo still argued self-righteously, I love him has nothing to do with you.Now that time has passed, I realize that I am a joke.

Tao Zhuo replied in a low voice, "You're welcome, it's just a coincidence."

It seems that they are all overwhelmed, and there is no more conversation.

Bringing two steamed buns and a little cold soup from the food camp, Tao Zhuo was about to go out, but was stopped by Mo Zizhi.

"Feng Xi's eyes haven't healed yet, please go and heal him in a while." The words were very polite, but there was a hint of an order.

Tao Zhuo nodded, turned and left.

Looking at Tao Zhuo's back, Mo Zizhi frowned slightly.He has never doubted Feng Xi's love for him, Tao Zhuo is not a threat, at most it is a bit of an eyesore.Mo Zizhi doesn't like Tao Zhuo, this kind of dislike is nothing more than Tao Zhuo's brief possession of Gu Yan.

That's because she didn't like it, so the princess had a false abortion that year, and Mo Zizhi witnessed everything but didn't say anything.Love is selfish, Mo Zizhi can't add insult to injury, but he can stand by and watch.

Xiao Bao, who hadn't had a serious meal for several days, was holding the steamed buns and gobbling it up, and suddenly stopped halfway through eating, looking at Tao Zhuo with tears in his eyes, "Daddy, I miss Mommy."

Sniffing, Tao Zhuo endured the soreness in his eyes, and coaxed softly, "Little treasure, your mother has not left, she will always be watching you in the sky, the brightest star in the night is your mother. "

Little Treasure nodded half understanding, and handed the steamed bun to Tao Zhuo's mouth, "Daddy, you eat."

Taozhuo took a small bite symbolically, and then told Xiaobao, "Do you still remember that blind brother? He is very powerful, and everyone here must obey him. So, you must be obedient in front of him, Let him like you, so that you will have enough to eat every day."

Xiaobao blinked her big bright eyes, and said in a childish voice, "Then Daddy must be obedient, and he will like Daddy."

Tao Zhuo was stunned...

The child's words are unscrupulous, but they are even more heartbreaking.

After coaxing Xiaobao to sleep, Tao Zhuo got up and walked towards Gu Yan's tent.It was dark and the stars were shining.

There was no one guarding the tent, Tao Zhuo was hesitant to make a noise first, or go straight in through the curtain.

While he was wandering, a moderate voice came from inside, which happened to hit Taozhuo's ears.

I just heard Gu Yan say, "Don't think nonsense, I broke up with him a long time ago. I saved him because I felt a little guilty. If I really liked him, why would I send him away from Shengjing? Even if I moved It's just because he is somewhat similar to you. What are you afraid of? He is just your shadow, you have already returned to me, how can I be sincere to a double."

It was as if a cold sharp blade pierced through the eardrum and cut through the heart, and the dripping blood burned the previous wound.
