One of the female generals of the Yang family

【Chapter 18】Regaining Confidence and Reminiscing about the Past

Yang Xun turned around slowly, looked at Qin Xue, who was staring at him behind him, with a nice smile on the corner of his mouth.Cheers erupted in an instant, everyone did not expect that Yang Xun would be so brave and invincible, and the impression of him began to change.Qin Xue's face showed joy, and she still stared admiringly at the man in front of her who surprised her.

She has been thinking about whether she should give way to Yang Xun. After all, Yeluquan, the prince on horseback, taught her horse riding skills. She would easily win anyone in a horse race.But he didn't expect that some people who looked down upon her would easily defeat her. His skill was no worse than Yeluquan's, and even better than everyone in the Yang family.

The cheers lasted for a long time, Yang Tai raised his hand suddenly, and everyone fell silent for a moment.Yang Tai stepped forward, personally helped Yang Xun off the horse, patted his shoulder and nodded, "It's extremely shocking."

Yang Xun bowed his head slightly, but still looked at Qin Xue with a smile in his eyes.

Yang Tai waved his hand and said loudly: "Okay. I'm convinced of the loss. I'll take care of the wine and meat for half a month with Qin Feng."

Everyone cheered, Qin Xue was taken aback, took a light step, approached Yang Tai to confirm, "Do you still want me to pay?"

Yang Tai frowned and said with a smile: "What? Aren't we on the same team? You forgot, 'All are of one mind'."

"But you are a general." Qin Xue looked at him pitifully.

"So what about the general, the emperor committed the same crime as the common people when he broke the law."

Qin Xue was a little anxious and said: "Can this be the same? I just joined the army and haven't paid my military salary yet. The private money on this body will be gone by the end of the month. I still have to buy some favorite food on weekdays, and I still have to pay." Before he finished speaking, Yang Tai smiled at Yang Xun, turned and left.

"Hello." Qin Xue looked at his leaving back even more pitifully, "General, big brother." No matter how much he called him, he didn't look back, just waved his hands, and said loudly: "Enough of the fun, let's go .”

"Yes." All the troops said in unison, and slowly dispersed.

"It's over." Qin Xue grinned regretfully, and was about to look at Yang Shun. He purposely annoyed her and said, "Who told you not to let me be on your team, or I can help you share some of the burden. Now, what should I do?" good."

Qin Xue cheekily approached him and said, "Lend me some, okay? I promise, I will pay you back next month."

"What? No money?" Yang Shun looked at her amusedly.

Qin Xue nodded pitifully, thinking that Yang Xun would sympathize with her, but who knows, this damn brat actually said: "Then do the laundry."

"You." Qin Xuefang was about to raise his hand to hit him, but he had already galloped away without forgetting to leave a loud laugh.

After a long time, a voice suddenly said: "Don't worry, brother is teasing you, he is a general, and he can still afford the wine and meat for half a month."

Qin Xue turned around abruptly, only to realize that Yang Xun hadn't left yet. Hearing what he said, she nodded reassuringly, "I know that elder brother is a good person."

"You." Yang Xun signaled her to go back together, "In the future, if you don't have capital, don't let go of your bold words, lest you really suffer, and we are far away, and no one can help you."

Qin Xue smiled awkwardly and raised her brows lightly.

Yang Tai ordered people to prepare wine and meat for dinner, and everyone ate happily.Staring at the richer meals than usual, Qin Xue was even more delighted from ear to ear, and ate more than usual.Yang Shun leaned over to annoy her and said, "I haven't even paid for my share, so I'm ashamed to eat so much."

"I want you to take care of it." Qin Xue stuffed half of the steamed bun in his hand into his mouth, "Eat it, and shut your mouth. I'll go and see if the third brother has finished eating, I don't bother to talk to you."

Yang Shun took the steamed bun she had stuffed in his mouth, chewed it slowly, leaned against the cushion beside him, stared at the back of her leaving, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The air was a bit chilly tonight, so Yang Tai ordered someone to send some hot water bags to Yang Xun to keep him warm.Qin Xue gently pushed the door in with hot tea. The order she got from Yang Xun was that she was the only one who could enter without knocking, and Yang Tai didn't even treat her like this.There was a gust of hot air from the room, a small stove was propped in the corner, I don't know when it was placed there, it was a bit exaggerated to start the stove in such weather, but it was not abrupt at all in Yang Xun's place.

"Brother did what he said, he added delicious meat tonight, did you eat more, or." The teapot in Qin Xue's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and Yang Xun's face was pale at the moment, and he fell on the armchair, panting slightly .

Qin Xue rushed forward, not daring to touch him, looking at his trembling body, momentarily at a loss. "I'll call Bailiyu." She was about to get up, but Yang Xun suddenly grabbed her and shook her head vigorously, with a trembling voice slipping out of her throat, "Don't go."

"But you, but." Before he finished speaking, Yang Xun slowly leaned on his body, he hugged her tightly, his ears and cheeks were lightly pressed against her waist, making Qin Xue's body stiffen, and she was stunned In situ.

"Don't go, don't let anyone know." Yang Xun urged again, his eyes were slightly closed, as if he had no strength, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"You'll be fine, right?" Qin Xue came back to her senses, put her hand on his back and patted him lightly, and asked again worriedly, "You're really fine, right?"

Yang Xun nodded, but did not speak.

The shadow of the lamp began to shake, and half of the wick fell, crackling and flashing a spark.Yang Xun's body was shaking more and more violently, as if he would fall apart in the next quarter of an hour.Even though he was relying on so many hot water bladders just now, his whole body was still icy cold, and the chill from his fingertips had already spread to Qin Xue's whole body, like a small fish trying to survive under the icy lake, being chased by the cold current, but unable to hide .

"It's cold, isn't it?" Tears welled up in Qin Xue's eyes. Thinking of the horse race with him today, she felt very regretful, and said in a low voice, "It's all my fault. Why did I think about the horse race? I wanted to be with you Let's take a walk together, obviously choose to take a walk, but why not go to the horse race."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Xun slowly let go of her, and pulled her in front of him, with a complicated look in his eyes, but with a hint of gratitude, he held her hand, feeling the warmth of her body , began to restore a steady voice and softly said: "No. The horse race is very good, I am very happy today, and I can't remember the last time I really laughed. I am very grateful to Qin Xue for giving me another good memory. You don't know, I don't have many of these memories."

"But, happiness is happiness, but your body is not."

"It's okay. Now, in the heart of a dying person like me, the pride in life is far greater than the body." Yang Xun's expression has begun to recover, but he didn't let go of the woman in front of him. Instead, he pulled her to sit beside him .He just felt that the warmth brought by these hands was far better than those water bags and fire.

The reflection of the lights reflected in Yang Xun's bright and clear eyes, against his pretty face, it seemed like flowing clouds and bright moon, making people reluctant to look away.A smile appeared on the corners of the shallowly curved lips, it could be seen that he was really happy today, even though his whole body was in severe pain, he still couldn't stop the joy in his heart.

"When I was eight years old, I made a marriage agreement." He spoke suddenly, flipped the wick with one hand, and still tightly held the warm hand of the woman beside him with the other hand, without looking at her, as if Recalling the past, he slowly said: "That is a very beautiful girl, the same age as me, with a clever look in her eyes. I like her very much, really like her." The sadness in his eyes is full, already Different from the strong appearance he usually pretended to be, he was willing to reveal this weak state to Qin Xue.

Staring at his occasional sense of vulnerability, Qin Xue gently took his hand and held it tightly.

"I went to the military camp for the first time, and I have been with women for a year. I said, when I come back from the military camp, I will be a real man. When the time comes, I will come back and marry you." Yang Xun suddenly sneered , staring at the light that was about to dim, and frowned slightly, "How could I have thought that on the second day after entering the army, I would be poisoned with the 'loose bone' poison, completely like ants biting and devouring my bone marrow? And the soul. My father lied to me that he would be cured, but the pain every night reminded me that they were lying to me, and I will never be able to get rid of this poison."

Tears slipped from the corner of Qin Xue's eyes, just happened to be seen by Yang Xun, he stared at that face, with complicated thoughts in his eyes, gently wiped away the tears with one hand, shook his head and said: "Don't cry for me, I have already cried secretly pass."

Qin Xue pursed her lips and lowered her head. After a long while, she asked softly, "What happened next? What happened to that girl?"

"Married." He said lightly, "married to someone who can give him a family. Now, he has two children."

For some reason, Qin Xue was uneasy and heartbroken when he told the girl's current state so plainly. She couldn't help thinking, if she was that girl and heard that the person she once loved was poisoned by this kind of poison, what would she do? ?Will she have the courage to accompany this person who is bound to die, and pray that God will be merciful so that they can grow old together.She will still be like a woman, choose another person who will definitely be with her, and live the rest of her life with a faint pain in her heart.

However, she is not that woman, she has not encountered such a thing, she still does not know how to choose, whether she will have a strong heart, dare to accompany the person in front of her.I don't know if the woman thought of the person who was betrothed when she was young when the woman fell into the night, and whether there would be a trace of regret for not being with him occasionally slipping through the bottom of her heart.

The sound of the watch shifting from far to near, it turned out that it was late at night, the two people in the room were not sleepy, their eyes were looking at the flickering candles, they were thinking about each other, but their hands were firmly held together, feeling the warm and cold. Convergence, it seems that the seasons of winter and summer that should not have collided together, in a certain wrong arrangement, just met like this.

In the early morning, birdsong rang not far away, Qin Xueqian lay on Yang Xun's lap and slept soundly, her brows frowning occasionally, as if she was dreaming of something that bothered her.Yang Xun leaned on the cushion at the side, supported his slanted head with one hand, stared at the woman in front of him, and felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart. He had this kind of feeling a long time ago, but it was because of him Deliberately hide it.Now, it gushes out again, and he seems to understand why.

A strand of hair fell down Qin Xue's cheek, along the line of her lips, close to her lips, provoking a bit of charm.Yang Xun hurriedly moved his eyes, staring at the swaying tree shadow outside the window, his heart thumped, and a slight ripple caused him to be unable to calm down for a long time. The nature of a man made him a little depressed, so he couldn't help biting his lips tightly to resist the impulse. .

The horn chirping sounded again, but what was played was not the sound of challenge, but the sound of triumph.

"Third brother." Yang Xun pushed the door excitedly and entered, just bumping into the scene of Qin Xue slowly getting up from Yang Xun's lap, which made him stunned, and his anger also burst out in a flash, but he clenched his fists and endured it. .

"Is there going to be a war?" Qin Xue rubbed her eyes, not noticing that both pairs of fiery eyes were staring at her. , She looked out of the window, listening to this somewhat unfamiliar tune, and asked in confusion: "This time it's not so urgent, is it a battle that doesn't look good?" She turned around and asked Yang Xun.

Yang Xun came back to look at her, got up slowly and said, "It's the triumphant sound of the end of the war."

"The war is over?" Qin Xue was surprised, and then she looked at Yang Shun who had been silent at the door, "Has Daliao retreated?"

After a long time, Yang Shun said calmly, "Yes, Empress Dowager Xiao was poisoned and her life was at stake. Yelumu hurried back to Daliao, and the fighting stopped temporarily."

"Empress Xiao was poisoned?" Qin Xue said in disbelief, "She usually doesn't eat anyone's food except Yelu Longxu's. How could she be poisoned?"

"How do you know this?" Yang Shunshi already understood why, and asked her deliberately angrily, wanting her to tell that she was the girl who hunted tigers under the Yin Mountain, and wanting her to tell him in person.

"Third Brother said." Qin Xue pointed at Yang Xun, feeling very guilty.

Surprisingly, Yang Xun cooperated, "I told her."

"Really?" Yang Shun said coldly, and slammed the door out, shaking the room slightly.

Qin Xue didn't understand why, so she ran after her angrily, "It's so early in the morning, why are you so crazy, and why did I mess with you again, stop and speak clearly."

In the house, Yang Xun was left standing alone. He silently rolled up the bamboo slips and books on the table, put them into the bookcase in silence, and began to pack his luggage in silence. For a long time, he stared at a strand of hair on the ground, Slowly picked it up, put it in the book, put it in the bottom of the box together, and said slowly: "Are you different from other women and don't care about my body?"

The army began to prepare to return to Beijing, and Yang Tai sent an order to organize the army on the second day and return to Tianbo Mansion.

The author has something to say: what?
