Wife is General Ghost Face
Chapter 45
001
Tao Chi has not been awake since he was sent to the city, probably because he was really injured and lost too much blood before, and Xu Junna fell hard, the doctor said that the chance of him waking up is not high .
After Tao Chi was sent away safely, the two people in the camp didn't pay attention to him for a while.
After Xia Guo's sudden surprise attack failed, the camp changed from the quietness of the past, and became busy again.
There were a lot of things after the war, not only on General Ghost Face, but also on Mr. Xu's side. Even though it was the New Year's Eve, a batch of funeral reports had to be sent out, which made the atmosphere in the entire accounting room a little depressing.
General Ghost Face arranged other matters immediately after the post-war affairs were dealt with.
That Xia Kingdom's sneak attack allowed them to more or less grasp some of the situation on the other side. During this period of Xia Kingdom's quietness was not for rest, but for waiting.
Waiting for more soldiers from Yuan Guo to pour into Xia Guo's side, Yuan Guo is still sending troops to Xia Guo's side.
After hearing the news, the Dayu camp naturally had to formulate a defense plan.
The soldiers of Xia Guo and Yuan Guo concentrated on the opposite side of the crossing not far from their camp. In order to prevent the previous incident from happening again, General Ghost Face dispatched many soldiers from the nearby camp.
This was a big mobilization, almost the entire border army was mobilized, and a large number of soldiers rushed to this side, stationed in several nearby camps.
The mobilization of soldiers was proceeding in an orderly manner, but Xu Jun received a message from Sima He in the city, and Tao Chi woke up.
Tao Chi's sobriety made Xu Jun heave a sigh of relief, and at the same time made his heart, which was originally relaxed due to busyness, also become heavy.
Even if you don't want to face some things, you still have to face them.
Xu Jun went to find General Ghost Face himself after dealing with the accountant's affairs, and stood guard outside the conference hall for a while. After the deputy general and General Ghost Face in the room finished discussing the business, he knocked on the door of the conference hall.
The busyness of the past few days made General Ghost Face look unhappy. Although Xu Jun couldn't see his face through the mask, he could see the tiredness in his eyes.
"General, he's awake."
The ghost-faced general didn't say a word, he collected his things silently, went out, and led the horse.
Xu Jun quietly followed behind him, and the two left the camp one after the other, heading towards the city.
The two rode forward side by side, not fast.
The two of them didn't speak a word along the way, they just let the horse go forward quietly, but even if they didn't drive the horse to walk slowly, they still arrived at the gate of the city at ten o'clock in the noon.
After Tao Chi was sent to the city by Xu Jun, he was placed in a warehouse not far from the warehouse, and Sima He stayed here to take care of him.
Because of the frequent wars recently, many people in their accounting office are staying here, and because people on both sides often communicate with each other, no one has noticed anything unusual so far.
After arriving at the place, the two tied the horse in the yard, Xu Jun greeted the other people in the accountant, and then quietly went to Sima He's side with the ghost-faced general.
When the two arrived, Tao Chi was awake. He sat up with a pillow behind his back and was drinking porridge.
After entering the house, Xu Jun realized that it was already noon.
"Gulu..." Xu Jun touched his screaming stomach, he was a little hungry, and his heavy heart could not fill his stomach.
In the originally tense and oppressive room, the three of them turned their heads to look at Xu Jun. The tense atmosphere became a little weird under the sound of Xu Jun's stomach rumbling.
"Do you want to have dinner together?" Sima He broke the silence.
When Xu Jun heard that there was something to eat, he nodded his head like pounding garlic.As he nodded, he realized that now was not the time to do these things, so he shook his head pitifully.
"Let's eat first!" General Ghost Face said.
When the ghost-faced general spoke, Sima He heaved a sigh of relief, and even Tao Chi's tense body, which was sitting on the bed, relaxed a lot.
Sima He went out, and soon brought two bowls of porridge.
"There's only porridge here now, general and lord, you can eat some first."
Xu Jun didn't mind at all, he found a stool and moved over to sit on it, and then took the porridge and drank it.
Seeing this, the ghost-faced general quietly sat aside, and after seeing Xu Jun gulu gulu finish his porridge, he handed over the bowl in his hand.
"Won't the general drink?"
"I'm not hungry."
Xu Jun was probably the only one present who could still eat under such circumstances.
Xu Jun took the porridge bowl and drank it in small sips. When Xu Jun drank most of the porridge in the bowl, General Ghost Face looked back at Tao Chi who was sitting on the bed with his head down.
"Give me an explanation."
Tao Chi stopped holding the spoon, a bitter smile appeared on his drooping face.
"Why did you betray the army?" General Ghost Face asked why.
The ghost-faced general's voice was low and concise, making it impossible to hear the emotion on his face under the mask.
Xu Jun drank the porridge in the bowl, put the bowl aside, and looked at Tao Chi.
Perhaps because Xu Jun's eyes were too scorching, Tao Chi, who was about to remain silent to the end, couldn't help but said, "I didn't betray the army."
Tao Chi's answer surprised the three people in the room. Isn't Tao Chi a traitor?But this is obviously impossible.
"What's going on?" Xu Jun asked with a straight face.
"I did not disclose the information about the defense deployment in the battalion to Xia Guo."
"Who is that?"
"...It's Jin Yi."
Many people know about the relationship between Jin Yi and Xia Guo, but what does that have to do with it?
Tao Chi took a deep breath and said slowly, "About a year ago, I accidentally discovered that the appearance under the general's mask was similar to that of the emperor. After spending some time, I guessed that the general and the emperor must have something to do with each other, but I couldn't figure it out. The solution..."
Puzzled, Tao Chi asked Jin Yi about it in private when he was in contact with Jin Yi.
At that time, he thought that Jin Yi must know about it, but Jin Yi only asked him if it was true or not after he told him about it, and then walked away with a thoughtful face.
Later, when Jin Yi contacted him again, it was already when Jin Yi had something for him to send to the battlefield. At that time, Jin Yi told him his guess about the relationship between General Ghost Face and Jin Qi, and asked him to send the things to battlefield.
Jin Yi didn't say what it was specifically, but only said that it was sent to the battlefield, to a fixed place, and other people in their team would go to meet it.
At that time, Tao Chi didn't think much about it, because he never thought that Jinyi would betray the country anyway, he only thought that there were some armor or supplies inside.
And at that time, he had just learned about the relationship between General Ghost Face and the Emperor, so he was in shock and didn't have time to think about it.
After sending the things away, he didn't pay much attention at that time.
After that, Jin Yi also contacted him several times, and the two met once during the celebration banquet, mostly asking about the situation in the camp.
The first thing he asked was the defensive deployment in the camp, because Jin Yi is the prince, and in his words he is also Dayu's only orthodox heir, and this matter is not a secret among the lieutenants, so he didn't say much about it. hide.
Later, Jin Yi asked some other things. He asked too many questions, and he felt that something was wrong, so he didn't say any more.
There was no news from him, and Jin Yi no longer contacted him.
Tao Chi was already on guard against him at that time, but the two of them didn't have much contact.
It wasn't until later that he went to Jingshan City with General Ghost Mian and Xu Jun, and found out that Jin Yi embezzled disaster relief funds and killed many Li people, and after he had contacts with Xia Guo, Tao Chi discovered that Jin Yi might not be a good person .
At that time, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, and he guessed that there should be something wrong with the thing that Jin Yi asked him to give him before, so he asked Jin Yi to argue with him when others didn't realize it.
When he met Jin Yi that time, he and Jin Yi had a big fight, and they broke up unhappy.
After that, he always had a bad premonition in his heart, but at that time he had no way out, because even if he was used, it was true that he helped Jinyi send things across the border.
Later, something happened to Jin Yi, and Tao Chi followed them back to the camp.
He thought all was well, until the battalion was attacked.
He found out that something was wrong before everyone else. He had already noticed it when Xia Guo attacked for the first time, so when Xia Guo came to attack again later, he could resist before anyone else.
After that, Dayu was attacked many times, and rumors of traitors spread in the camp.
It was also around that time that he knew that Jin Yi had leaked all the defensive arrangements at the border.
Although he didn't tell Xia Guo the news himself, it was indeed leaked from his side, so he immediately guessed who the traitor was.
After listening to Tao Chi's narration, several people in the room fell silent again.
This reason was within their expectations, and it was also beyond their expectations. They had known for a long time that Jinyi had contacts with Xia Guo, but they didn't expect that they would have such ulterior motives.
As for Tao Chi...
"Are you an idiot?" Xu Jun couldn't help it almost immediately.
Tao Chi instinctively looked up at the angry Xu Jun, he seemed to want to refute, but under Xu Jun's stare, he lowered his head again, because after the incident broke out, even he felt that he was a complete idiot.
"What else did you reveal?" General Ghost Face asked.
Tao Chi shook his head, "Only the border defense deployment." Because he realized that Jin Yi was in charge of too much later, he didn't say any more.
But even this alone still caused serious damage to the border garrison.
After the simple conversation, the room returned to silence again.
After a long time, General Ghost Face opened the door, and before leaving, he said, "Recover well."
The ghost-faced general left, but Tao Chi looked up at the ghost-faced general in surprise, until the ghost-faced general closed the door, he smiled wryly and looked away.
Xu Jun was in a complicated mood and didn't know how to speak.
Tao Chi said again: "Do you know? If the general's original character is followed, he will never let me go."
When he regained consciousness from a coma on the battlefield, the first emotion he felt was surprise.
He thought he was going to die, after all, he was not prepared to live any longer, so when he saw Xu Jun, he was startled and dumbfounded.
Seeing Xu Jun, he immediately knew that Xu Jun must have secretly rescued him, and only Xu Jun had the ability to secretly rescue him.
He didn't die, and it was almost self-evident what he was going to face later, and he had already prepared for it, but he never expected that it would be a sentence of 'recover well'.
"If we followed the general's style of behavior, he would have arrested me and tortured me as soon as he found out that the traitor was me. If I was seriously injured and near death, he would have given me another spear or sword, but it was impossible to kill me. I saved it, and it is even more impossible for me to recover from my injuries.”
002
Xu Jun frowned subconsciously, "The general wouldn't do such a thing. After knowing that there are traitors in the camp, he is also very sad."
"Will he be sad? Hahaha..." Tao Chi burst into laughter, laughing until the wound on his body hurt, and his face turned pale from laughing.
Smiling and laughing, Tao Chi showed a bitter expression.
Such a ghost-faced general may only exist in Xu Jun's eyes.
He has been with the ghost-faced general for several years, and he remembers what the ghost-faced general looked like before, and the rumors that he is ruthless like a devil are not completely groundless.
He is strict with himself, and the same with the people around him. If the people around him make mistakes, even the lieutenant general who has been with him for several years, still cannot escape the military law, and he has no sympathy.
It would be fine if he just made a mistake and was punished, but in the eyes of all of them, the ghost-faced general was a taciturn and unpredictable monster.
He never had a deep friendship with outsiders, no, it was even difficult to say a word with outsiders.
"He has changed a lot. Before you came, he was not close to anyone. In the past six months since you came, I think he has said more than the ten years before he was in the military camp." Tao Chi said.
If it weren't for getting to know General Ghost Face gradually, Tao Chi might have led his troops to defect after the rebel incident broke out.
But after getting acquainted with him, Tao Chi could no longer choose that way.
At the earliest time, what he saw in his eyes was a monster with an unpredictable personality and extremely harsh, and a cruel and vicious emperor with a bad bloodline, so when Jin Yi asked him to help deliver things, he would think about everything. I agreed without thinking.
Because at that time, his heart was more inclined to Jin Yi.
In his eyes, the current ghost-faced general is already a living person with flesh and blood, who even occasionally jokes with them, and is the great general he gets along with day and night.
Xu Jun said nothing, he didn't believe it.
In his eyes, although General Ghost Face is sometimes fierce, most of the time he is easy to talk to.
Tao Chi didn't try to persuade Xu Jun, he moved to sit beside the bed with a silent sigh, trying to get up, he wanted to leave here.
He originally wanted to die, but he was rescued once by General Ghost Face, and once again by Xu Jun. He failed to die twice, but he couldn't be happy.
"What are you doing?"
"Leave me alone." Tao Chi got off the bed, trying to walk out the door.
"The wound will open, do you want to die?" Xu Jun stepped forward to help, but Tao Chi pushed him away.
"Having killed so many people, I wasn't worth your saving."
If there is still a choice now, he will never trust Jin Yi so credulously, but some things happen as they happen, and the dead will not come back to life just because he regrets it.
Tao Chi forced himself to walk towards the door. He staggered, and the gauze on his body was stained red within a few steps.
The wound opened, Xu Jun was in a hurry, and he stepped forward to stop him, but Tao Chi quickly pushed him away with the strength he didn't know where.
"You stop for me!"
"I saved you, your life is mine, I didn't allow you to die..."
Tao Chi ignored it completely and walked towards the door.
Xu Jun's eyes were red, and he took the stool next to him to beat him.
Seeing this, Sima He's mouth twitched fiercely, and quickly reminded: "I will die!"
Tao Chi turned his head when he heard the sound, and was startled when he saw the stool held up high by Xu Jun. When he realized that he wanted to die and was about to stick his head over it, Xu Jun had already thrown the stool angrily.
"Don't worry about my affairs—"
Before Tao Chi finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and fell down.
Xu Jun withdrew his punch. He looked at his fist and then at Tao Chi who rolled his eyes on the ground. The things Zhu Xiaojin taught seemed to be useful.
Seeing this, Sima He hurried forward to feel for Tao Chi's pulse. Sima He heaved a sigh of relief after finding the weak pulse.
He always felt that Tao Chi was probably not far from death.
He was not killed by the enemy, not by General Ghost Face, but by Mr. Xu.
"He's not dead, is he?" Xu Jun said innocently, "This time I acted lightly."
"No."
Sima He helped lift the man up and put him back on the bed, and helped to re-apply the medicine on Tao Chi's open wound. Seeing Tao Chi's breathing resumed, Sima He sincerely felt that Tao Chi's life was really serious. The ones are hard.
After confirming that Tao Chi would not die, Xu Jun explained to Sima He to stay and take care of Tao Chi, and then he went out to chase General Ghost Face.
Xu Jun left the warehouse of the camp and entered the main street of the city, and a strong breath of the year rushed towards him.
Unlike their barracks, which have hardly changed much, the entire city here is covered with red lanterns, and the doors are covered with couplets and door gods.
The whole city looked red and beaming.
On the street, the faces of pedestrians coming and going are also full of joy.
Because it was the end of the new year, there were fewer vendors on the street than usual, and the few remaining ones were also selling snacks and firecrackers, and the scent would waft from time to time when walking on the street.
Xu Jun, who was a little bit greedy by the scent, took two deep breaths, and finally ignored the snacks, led the horse, and ran along the street to find General Ghost Face.
When the ghost-faced general was found, the ghost-faced general had already left the city gate and walked a long distance towards the camp.
In the vast snow field, he turned into a small dot the size of a grain of rice, slowly leading the horse forward.
When Xu Jun saw someone coming, he quickly got on his horse and let the horse run over there, "General, general, wait for me..."
Not long after, Xu Jun reined in the horse and stopped a little distance in front of General Ghost Face.
He slid off the horse, led the horse and ran to General Ghost Face.
"General, why didn't you wait for me and left alone?"
"waiting for you."
He had been leading his horse through the snow for a long time, just to wait for Xu Jun.
When Xu Jun heard this, he was happy and grinned.
General Ghost Face glanced sideways at Xu Jun who was smiling happily, and let out a long breath, and the gas turned into white mist and filled his sight.
Tao Chi did not betray the army, which made both of them relieved.
Although this incident was indeed caused by him, he did not disclose it directly, nor did he intentionally do so, which made both of them heave a sigh of relief.
"General."
"Ok?"
"I avenged you."
"what?"
"I hit him." Xu Jun danced his fist.
General Ghost Face raised his eyebrows, "Then is he still alive?"
Xu Jun's eyes widened, and he said loudly, "Of course he's still alive. I didn't intend to kill him. I just wanted to teach him a lesson."
General Ghost Face remained silent, quite suspicious.
General Ghost-Mask's suspicion deeply hurt Xu Jun, and Xu Jun immediately danced and tried to repeat the scene to General Ghost-Mask, "I hit him on the neck as Zhu Xiaojin taught me, so that he will fainted."
Walking in the snow, after Xu Jun danced his fists again, his confidence gradually became weaker, "...and when I left, Sima He also said that he seemed to be still alive."
The snow on the ground is not shallow anymore, every step you step on can reach ankle-deep. After walking for a long time, the cold snow water seeped into the shoes from all around.
After walking a little further, after leaving two rows of long footprints on the snow, Xu Jun begged softly, "General, don't kill him, okay?"
General Ghost Face didn't speak, but he didn't refute either.
Xu Jun looked at the ghost-faced general, no longer entangled.
He walked around behind the ghost-faced general and followed the ghost-faced general. The ghost-faced general in front took a step, and he followed behind. The advantage of this was that his shoes were no longer as cold as before.
The ghost-faced general walked forward for a while, looked back at the toddler with his head lowered, stretched out his hand, picked him up and lifted him onto the horse, letting Xu Jun sit on the horse.
He led the horse and led Xu Jun, and the two of them walked forward slowly with two horses.
"Aren't you cold, General?" Xu Jun, who was sitting on horseback, bent down, and clumsily wiped the snow off his shoes. He felt that it was cold here.
"not cold."
Xu Jun looked at the ghost-faced general.
The ghost-faced general was wearing the dark armor he often wore, only a layer of cotton coat was added under the armor, and his wrists and neck were not covered for the convenience of movement, and were exposed outside.
Xu Jun looked at himself again, three layers of cotton clothes and trousers, plus cloak, fur boots, scarf, hat...
Xu Jun looked at the ghost-faced general and then at himself, then at the ghost-faced general and then at himself. He tried his best to raise his hands that he couldn't lift because he was wearing too much clothes, and he clumsily scratched at his neck. After a while the scarf was removed.
"This is for you."
General Ghost Face looked at the scarf that suddenly appeared in front of him, and then at Xu Jun whose neck was exposed, "No, I'm not cold."
"Here you are." Xu Jun beckoned. Seeing that the ghost-faced general refused to accept him, he stretched out his fingers and hooked the ghost-faced general's armor, pulled him over, and surrounded him with a firm attitude.
Putting the scarf on him carefully, Xu Jun checked it again before letting go.
When Xu Jun left, General Ghost Face looked down at the scarf that covered his head so that only his eyes were outside, and reached out to take off the scarf.
There was still Xu Jun's temperature on the scarf, which was so warm that it instantly dispelled all the chills on his body.
He didn't reject such warmth, but after Xu Jun took off the scarf, his neck was exposed, and a layer of chicken skin froze in a short while.
"Take it." Xu Jun said fiercely.
"I'm not cold."
"I'm not cold either."
General Ghost Face was about to speak again when Xu Jun's head suddenly slid down, and his entire neck shrank into his stomach with a 'bo' sound, leaving only one head outside.
Because of this, Xu Jun became even more chubby, and he was as fat as a big one.
General Ghost Face looked at Xu Jun in a daze. He watched for a while, but he didn't understand how Xu Jun did it.
General Ghost Face didn't speak any more, he led the horse and continued to walk forward slowly.
After walking for a while, a deep laugh came from under the scarf.
Xu Jun retracted his neck into his stomach, hahaha...
003
Xu Jun looked at the person who was walking and giggling in front of him, straightened his collar, shrunk his head and hid his neck under the collar.
The ghost-faced general led the horse and walked slowly, the two chatted from time to time, the time passed without knowing it, and when the two returned to the camp, it was almost evening.
It is dark early in winter, before dinner time, but the sky has gradually darkened.
After entering the camp, General Ghost Face led the horse to the people next to him, and took Xu Jun to the small courtyard where he lived.
As soon as he opened the door, Xu Jun couldn't wait to bend over and sneak into the room from under his armpit, then curled up and squatted beside the table.
Seeing this, the ghost-faced general exited the door again, called the soldier next to him, and asked him to go to the kitchen to have a bucket of hot water brought over.
Because he dispersed all the soldiers who took care of him, and now he is the only one left in the small courtyard, and he has to do many things by himself.
After the soldier went to the kitchen to get hot water, he walked aside and took the basin for soaking his feet, and put it next to the table.
When the ghost-faced general took off the scarf around his neck, the soldiers outside the door had already brought hot water. There was a faint green smoke on the full bucket of hot water, and it was very warm at first glance.
General Ghost Face brought the water into the house, closed the courtyard door, and brought the water into the back room. He was about to ask Xu Jun to take his slippers to soak his feet. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Xu Jun had already taken off his shoes, revealing two white feet. Ya.
After walking around in the snow before, Xu Jun's feet were already turning white from the cold, and his nails were even more bruised.
General Ghost Face has lived in this camp for more than ten years. He can be said to have stayed here most of the time. He has already forgotten whether he was afraid of the cold like Xu Jun when he spent the winter here in the first year. .
But after living here for a long time, I learned some things.
If you walk in the snow and your hands and feet get cold, if you don't soak in hot water, you will easily get chilblains.
Once that thing attacks, it is itchy and painful and cannot be scratched, which is extremely uncomfortable.
None of the soldiers who stayed in the camp all year round did not suffer from frostbite.
Xu Jun obviously hasn't grown up in previous years, which is not surprising, after all, he was the young master of his family when he stayed in the capital, and his parents loved him very much, so they must have taken good care of him.
General Ghost Face stepped forward and poured hot water into the basin, Xu Jun smiled at him flatteringly.
Xu Jun shrank his feet aside, because of the cold, he shrunk his feet into two big shrimps.
"Is it hot?" Xu Jun asked, sucking his red nose.
The ghost-faced general reached into the basin to feel it, and tested the temperature, "It's not hot."
When Xu Jun saw the ghost face, the general put the bucket aside, quickly moved aside to make way for half of the stool, then patted the position next to him, and smiled flatteringly.
General Ghost Face shook his head, "You make it yourself." He was used to the coldness.
Xu Jun was surprised, he thought General Ghost Face wanted to soak his feet, so he took off his shoes early and waited to soak his feet.
General Ghost Face doesn't soak, why does he get hot water?
What is the answer? Xu Jun thought of it almost immediately. His heart warmed up, and he patted the stool again, "Let's soak together."
At the end, he couldn't wait to add, "Hurry up, I'm freezing to death."
General Ghost Face looked at Xu Jun's two fleshy feet huddled together, sat aside, and took off his shoes.
Xu Jun has been watching from the side, and when he saw General Ghost Face sitting down and taking off his shoes, he realized that General Ghost Face's shoes were already wet.
He was better, he sat on the horse and was carried by the horse all the way, while General Ghost Face walked all the way by himself, his shoes were basically all wet.
The snow water seeped into his shoes and ran into them, making his feet red from the cold, but this man didn't notice it, so people couldn't see how cold he was.
Seeing such a pair of feet, Xu Jun couldn't help rubbing his feet together with some heartache.
The ghost-faced general took off his shoes, glanced at Xu Jun next to him, and put his feet directly into the water to soak.
The basin used by the ghost-faced general is not small, enough for two pairs of feet. After the ghost-faced general puts his feet down, the water fills up a bit, and it looks very warm.
Seeing this, Xu Jun quickly sat next to him and put his feet in.
But as soon as Xu Jun put his feet into the water, he immediately screamed, "Ah!"
Xu Jun was so hot that he shrank into a ball and fell to the side, and fell into the arms of General Ghost Face. He raised his feet high and dared not put them in the water.
"Hot, hot, hot..."
Xu Jun hugged the ghost-faced general with his whole body, rubbing his feet left and right, he put his feet in without any precaution, and the scalding water made his feet hurt immediately.
"Are you okay?" General Ghost Face supported Xu Jun.
Xu Jun touched the water with his toes again, and after confirming that the water was really hot, he looked at General Ghost Face, "Are you all right?"
General Ghost Face is baffled.
"Isn't the water hot?"
"Not hot." General Ghost Face said again, "A little bit."
Xu Jun tried the water temperature again, the temperature didn't seem to be a little hot at all, but very hot!
After walking all the way in the snow just now, his feet were already too cold to be warm. Even the lukewarm water at this time was much hotter than usual, not to mention that it was hot water, and the temperature was not low.
Xu Jun felt that he was being cheated. He put Bingbing's feet on the instep of General Ghost Face to ice him, and slowly dawdled to test the water temperature.
The ghost-faced general didn't move, and let Xu Jun step on his instep to test the hot water like a person who just learned water.
"Isn't the general afraid of being hot?"
"got used to."
"Ok?"
General Ghost Face looked at the pair of feet that Xu Jun put on his instep, he didn't understand why, but he just talked about the previous thing inexplicably.
"I wasn't used to it when I first entered the camp, but I gradually got used to it, and it's a lot of things."
When he first entered the camp, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old.
He was over ten years old when he came out of Lenggong, and after studying with Jin Qi for about three years, he came to the border.
At that time, it was the first time he left the palace and entered the camp. He was afraid at the beginning, but he got used to it quickly, and then slowly got used to injuries, dead bodies, death and many other things .
Compared with wounds and death, such small things seem insignificant.
"When I spent the winter in the camp in the first year, I spent most of my time on the battlefield. At that time, the border army was not like this. There were not so many people, and the place where they were stationed was not where it is now..."
He didn't want to talk about the things in the early years, but he started to talk about it without authorization.
At that time, the position where the border army was stationed was still far behind the city, and the several cities here belonged to the Xia Kingdom at that time.
He entered the camp, although Jin Yi intended him to take over the border army, but at that time he was still young, even if the emperor gave orders, no one in the camp would obey him, and it was easy to attract suspicion, so he also started as a soldier in the army .
The small captain, the big captain, and then the deputy general, during the nearly year-long war, he took back several cities for Dayu and held the border defense line.
In the end, Jin Qi followed the people's will and named him the general of Zhen Guo, and took advantage of the situation to let him take over the border army.
Tao Chi counted the same as him, starting from a small soldier, and Tao Chi was already a squad leader when he noticed Tao Chi.
In an action to encircle and suppress Xia Guo, he led a team of troops to cooperate with their large troops to encircle.
At that time, the soldiers of Xia State saw that the general situation was over, and they had the heart to die. It was Tao Chi who suggested that the army should relax the encirclement for the time being, and use the terrain not to confront those people head-on.
The action at that time was not big, but General Ghost Face noticed him, so he was promoted to be the captain of the team. Two years later, Tao Chi really made a contribution.
The ghost-faced general carried him again, promoted him as a lieutenant general, and asked him to follow him.
The time he spent with Tao Chi was not the longest. Some of the lieutenants in the battalion had served as lieutenant generals for five or six years, but since Tao Chi had always been with him and stayed by his side, it was only counted as the time spent together. He and Tao Chi get along the longest.
"General."
"Ok?"
"I won't betray you." Xu Jun vowed, as if to prove his determination, he put his feet into hot water and soaked them cruelly.
But after a while he couldn't take it anymore, grinning his teeth and pulling his foot out again.
Speaking of Tao Chi and what happened back then, General Ghost Face felt a little gloomy.
But listening to Xu Jun's words, and seeing Xu Jun's grinning expression, his heart instantly cleared up.
There was a hint of sweetness in his heart, and he couldn't help but smile, and there were waves of water in those ancient pool-like black eyes.
"Me too."
"What?" Because Xu Jun had gradually adapted to the water temperature, Xu Jun was thinking whether to put his feet in and scald him, and he didn't pay attention to what the ghost-faced general next to him said.
"Me too."
"Huh?" Xu Jun didn't understand.
General Ghost Face glanced at him, "I said, me too."
"Huh?" Xu Jun pretended not to understand.
He didn't hear it the first time, he really didn't understand it the second time, and the third time he found the ghost-faced general's voice really nice.
When he was gentle and whispered, his voice was always low and a little hoarse. It was a man's unique magnetic voice, which was very comfortable to listen to.
Especially when he speaks nice words, the voice is even better, making people want to kiss.
"I said I..." General Ghost Face, who was about to repeat it again, sensed something was wrong.
Xu Jun didn't hear it, and was a little disappointed.
"like you……"
Xu Jun was surprised, General Ghost Face turned his head and kissed Xu Jun's soft cheek.
The ghost-faced general's sudden confession and kiss made Xu Jun's whole body red.He put his feet in the water, next to the Ghost General's feet.
The water was still a little hot, but the warmth spread from his feet to his whole body, warming him up.
"Can you...don't leave at night." Another voice came from under the ghost's face.
Xu Jun smiled ambiguously after being slightly surprised, "Okay!"
The ghost-faced general became anxious, and it was only at this time that he realized that his words were wrong, "It's not like that." He just didn't want to be alone.
He didn't feel many things when he was alone, but after meeting Xu Jun, he became greedy and dissatisfied.
He never longed for company before, but now he wants to hug Xu Jun tightly and never let go.
Xu Jun said softly, "Okay!"
"You—" Ghost-Mask General's words came to his lips, and stopped with Xu Jun's kiss on the mask.
"Okay!"
"I said no, I—"
"Okay!" Xu Jun leaned forward and secretly told General Ghost Face, "General, I will take charge if there is a little general."
Tao Chi has not been awake since he was sent to the city, probably because he was really injured and lost too much blood before, and Xu Junna fell hard, the doctor said that the chance of him waking up is not high .
After Tao Chi was sent away safely, the two people in the camp didn't pay attention to him for a while.
After Xia Guo's sudden surprise attack failed, the camp changed from the quietness of the past, and became busy again.
There were a lot of things after the war, not only on General Ghost Face, but also on Mr. Xu's side. Even though it was the New Year's Eve, a batch of funeral reports had to be sent out, which made the atmosphere in the entire accounting room a little depressing.
General Ghost Face arranged other matters immediately after the post-war affairs were dealt with.
That Xia Kingdom's sneak attack allowed them to more or less grasp some of the situation on the other side. During this period of Xia Kingdom's quietness was not for rest, but for waiting.
Waiting for more soldiers from Yuan Guo to pour into Xia Guo's side, Yuan Guo is still sending troops to Xia Guo's side.
After hearing the news, the Dayu camp naturally had to formulate a defense plan.
The soldiers of Xia Guo and Yuan Guo concentrated on the opposite side of the crossing not far from their camp. In order to prevent the previous incident from happening again, General Ghost Face dispatched many soldiers from the nearby camp.
This was a big mobilization, almost the entire border army was mobilized, and a large number of soldiers rushed to this side, stationed in several nearby camps.
The mobilization of soldiers was proceeding in an orderly manner, but Xu Jun received a message from Sima He in the city, and Tao Chi woke up.
Tao Chi's sobriety made Xu Jun heave a sigh of relief, and at the same time made his heart, which was originally relaxed due to busyness, also become heavy.
Even if you don't want to face some things, you still have to face them.
Xu Jun went to find General Ghost Face himself after dealing with the accountant's affairs, and stood guard outside the conference hall for a while. After the deputy general and General Ghost Face in the room finished discussing the business, he knocked on the door of the conference hall.
The busyness of the past few days made General Ghost Face look unhappy. Although Xu Jun couldn't see his face through the mask, he could see the tiredness in his eyes.
"General, he's awake."
The ghost-faced general didn't say a word, he collected his things silently, went out, and led the horse.
Xu Jun quietly followed behind him, and the two left the camp one after the other, heading towards the city.
The two rode forward side by side, not fast.
The two of them didn't speak a word along the way, they just let the horse go forward quietly, but even if they didn't drive the horse to walk slowly, they still arrived at the gate of the city at ten o'clock in the noon.
After Tao Chi was sent to the city by Xu Jun, he was placed in a warehouse not far from the warehouse, and Sima He stayed here to take care of him.
Because of the frequent wars recently, many people in their accounting office are staying here, and because people on both sides often communicate with each other, no one has noticed anything unusual so far.
After arriving at the place, the two tied the horse in the yard, Xu Jun greeted the other people in the accountant, and then quietly went to Sima He's side with the ghost-faced general.
When the two arrived, Tao Chi was awake. He sat up with a pillow behind his back and was drinking porridge.
After entering the house, Xu Jun realized that it was already noon.
"Gulu..." Xu Jun touched his screaming stomach, he was a little hungry, and his heavy heart could not fill his stomach.
In the originally tense and oppressive room, the three of them turned their heads to look at Xu Jun. The tense atmosphere became a little weird under the sound of Xu Jun's stomach rumbling.
"Do you want to have dinner together?" Sima He broke the silence.
When Xu Jun heard that there was something to eat, he nodded his head like pounding garlic.As he nodded, he realized that now was not the time to do these things, so he shook his head pitifully.
"Let's eat first!" General Ghost Face said.
When the ghost-faced general spoke, Sima He heaved a sigh of relief, and even Tao Chi's tense body, which was sitting on the bed, relaxed a lot.
Sima He went out, and soon brought two bowls of porridge.
"There's only porridge here now, general and lord, you can eat some first."
Xu Jun didn't mind at all, he found a stool and moved over to sit on it, and then took the porridge and drank it.
Seeing this, the ghost-faced general quietly sat aside, and after seeing Xu Jun gulu gulu finish his porridge, he handed over the bowl in his hand.
"Won't the general drink?"
"I'm not hungry."
Xu Jun was probably the only one present who could still eat under such circumstances.
Xu Jun took the porridge bowl and drank it in small sips. When Xu Jun drank most of the porridge in the bowl, General Ghost Face looked back at Tao Chi who was sitting on the bed with his head down.
"Give me an explanation."
Tao Chi stopped holding the spoon, a bitter smile appeared on his drooping face.
"Why did you betray the army?" General Ghost Face asked why.
The ghost-faced general's voice was low and concise, making it impossible to hear the emotion on his face under the mask.
Xu Jun drank the porridge in the bowl, put the bowl aside, and looked at Tao Chi.
Perhaps because Xu Jun's eyes were too scorching, Tao Chi, who was about to remain silent to the end, couldn't help but said, "I didn't betray the army."
Tao Chi's answer surprised the three people in the room. Isn't Tao Chi a traitor?But this is obviously impossible.
"What's going on?" Xu Jun asked with a straight face.
"I did not disclose the information about the defense deployment in the battalion to Xia Guo."
"Who is that?"
"...It's Jin Yi."
Many people know about the relationship between Jin Yi and Xia Guo, but what does that have to do with it?
Tao Chi took a deep breath and said slowly, "About a year ago, I accidentally discovered that the appearance under the general's mask was similar to that of the emperor. After spending some time, I guessed that the general and the emperor must have something to do with each other, but I couldn't figure it out. The solution..."
Puzzled, Tao Chi asked Jin Yi about it in private when he was in contact with Jin Yi.
At that time, he thought that Jin Yi must know about it, but Jin Yi only asked him if it was true or not after he told him about it, and then walked away with a thoughtful face.
Later, when Jin Yi contacted him again, it was already when Jin Yi had something for him to send to the battlefield. At that time, Jin Yi told him his guess about the relationship between General Ghost Face and Jin Qi, and asked him to send the things to battlefield.
Jin Yi didn't say what it was specifically, but only said that it was sent to the battlefield, to a fixed place, and other people in their team would go to meet it.
At that time, Tao Chi didn't think much about it, because he never thought that Jinyi would betray the country anyway, he only thought that there were some armor or supplies inside.
And at that time, he had just learned about the relationship between General Ghost Face and the Emperor, so he was in shock and didn't have time to think about it.
After sending the things away, he didn't pay much attention at that time.
After that, Jin Yi also contacted him several times, and the two met once during the celebration banquet, mostly asking about the situation in the camp.
The first thing he asked was the defensive deployment in the camp, because Jin Yi is the prince, and in his words he is also Dayu's only orthodox heir, and this matter is not a secret among the lieutenants, so he didn't say much about it. hide.
Later, Jin Yi asked some other things. He asked too many questions, and he felt that something was wrong, so he didn't say any more.
There was no news from him, and Jin Yi no longer contacted him.
Tao Chi was already on guard against him at that time, but the two of them didn't have much contact.
It wasn't until later that he went to Jingshan City with General Ghost Mian and Xu Jun, and found out that Jin Yi embezzled disaster relief funds and killed many Li people, and after he had contacts with Xia Guo, Tao Chi discovered that Jin Yi might not be a good person .
At that time, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, and he guessed that there should be something wrong with the thing that Jin Yi asked him to give him before, so he asked Jin Yi to argue with him when others didn't realize it.
When he met Jin Yi that time, he and Jin Yi had a big fight, and they broke up unhappy.
After that, he always had a bad premonition in his heart, but at that time he had no way out, because even if he was used, it was true that he helped Jinyi send things across the border.
Later, something happened to Jin Yi, and Tao Chi followed them back to the camp.
He thought all was well, until the battalion was attacked.
He found out that something was wrong before everyone else. He had already noticed it when Xia Guo attacked for the first time, so when Xia Guo came to attack again later, he could resist before anyone else.
After that, Dayu was attacked many times, and rumors of traitors spread in the camp.
It was also around that time that he knew that Jin Yi had leaked all the defensive arrangements at the border.
Although he didn't tell Xia Guo the news himself, it was indeed leaked from his side, so he immediately guessed who the traitor was.
After listening to Tao Chi's narration, several people in the room fell silent again.
This reason was within their expectations, and it was also beyond their expectations. They had known for a long time that Jinyi had contacts with Xia Guo, but they didn't expect that they would have such ulterior motives.
As for Tao Chi...
"Are you an idiot?" Xu Jun couldn't help it almost immediately.
Tao Chi instinctively looked up at the angry Xu Jun, he seemed to want to refute, but under Xu Jun's stare, he lowered his head again, because after the incident broke out, even he felt that he was a complete idiot.
"What else did you reveal?" General Ghost Face asked.
Tao Chi shook his head, "Only the border defense deployment." Because he realized that Jin Yi was in charge of too much later, he didn't say any more.
But even this alone still caused serious damage to the border garrison.
After the simple conversation, the room returned to silence again.
After a long time, General Ghost Face opened the door, and before leaving, he said, "Recover well."
The ghost-faced general left, but Tao Chi looked up at the ghost-faced general in surprise, until the ghost-faced general closed the door, he smiled wryly and looked away.
Xu Jun was in a complicated mood and didn't know how to speak.
Tao Chi said again: "Do you know? If the general's original character is followed, he will never let me go."
When he regained consciousness from a coma on the battlefield, the first emotion he felt was surprise.
He thought he was going to die, after all, he was not prepared to live any longer, so when he saw Xu Jun, he was startled and dumbfounded.
Seeing Xu Jun, he immediately knew that Xu Jun must have secretly rescued him, and only Xu Jun had the ability to secretly rescue him.
He didn't die, and it was almost self-evident what he was going to face later, and he had already prepared for it, but he never expected that it would be a sentence of 'recover well'.
"If we followed the general's style of behavior, he would have arrested me and tortured me as soon as he found out that the traitor was me. If I was seriously injured and near death, he would have given me another spear or sword, but it was impossible to kill me. I saved it, and it is even more impossible for me to recover from my injuries.”
002
Xu Jun frowned subconsciously, "The general wouldn't do such a thing. After knowing that there are traitors in the camp, he is also very sad."
"Will he be sad? Hahaha..." Tao Chi burst into laughter, laughing until the wound on his body hurt, and his face turned pale from laughing.
Smiling and laughing, Tao Chi showed a bitter expression.
Such a ghost-faced general may only exist in Xu Jun's eyes.
He has been with the ghost-faced general for several years, and he remembers what the ghost-faced general looked like before, and the rumors that he is ruthless like a devil are not completely groundless.
He is strict with himself, and the same with the people around him. If the people around him make mistakes, even the lieutenant general who has been with him for several years, still cannot escape the military law, and he has no sympathy.
It would be fine if he just made a mistake and was punished, but in the eyes of all of them, the ghost-faced general was a taciturn and unpredictable monster.
He never had a deep friendship with outsiders, no, it was even difficult to say a word with outsiders.
"He has changed a lot. Before you came, he was not close to anyone. In the past six months since you came, I think he has said more than the ten years before he was in the military camp." Tao Chi said.
If it weren't for getting to know General Ghost Face gradually, Tao Chi might have led his troops to defect after the rebel incident broke out.
But after getting acquainted with him, Tao Chi could no longer choose that way.
At the earliest time, what he saw in his eyes was a monster with an unpredictable personality and extremely harsh, and a cruel and vicious emperor with a bad bloodline, so when Jin Yi asked him to help deliver things, he would think about everything. I agreed without thinking.
Because at that time, his heart was more inclined to Jin Yi.
In his eyes, the current ghost-faced general is already a living person with flesh and blood, who even occasionally jokes with them, and is the great general he gets along with day and night.
Xu Jun said nothing, he didn't believe it.
In his eyes, although General Ghost Face is sometimes fierce, most of the time he is easy to talk to.
Tao Chi didn't try to persuade Xu Jun, he moved to sit beside the bed with a silent sigh, trying to get up, he wanted to leave here.
He originally wanted to die, but he was rescued once by General Ghost Face, and once again by Xu Jun. He failed to die twice, but he couldn't be happy.
"What are you doing?"
"Leave me alone." Tao Chi got off the bed, trying to walk out the door.
"The wound will open, do you want to die?" Xu Jun stepped forward to help, but Tao Chi pushed him away.
"Having killed so many people, I wasn't worth your saving."
If there is still a choice now, he will never trust Jin Yi so credulously, but some things happen as they happen, and the dead will not come back to life just because he regrets it.
Tao Chi forced himself to walk towards the door. He staggered, and the gauze on his body was stained red within a few steps.
The wound opened, Xu Jun was in a hurry, and he stepped forward to stop him, but Tao Chi quickly pushed him away with the strength he didn't know where.
"You stop for me!"
"I saved you, your life is mine, I didn't allow you to die..."
Tao Chi ignored it completely and walked towards the door.
Xu Jun's eyes were red, and he took the stool next to him to beat him.
Seeing this, Sima He's mouth twitched fiercely, and quickly reminded: "I will die!"
Tao Chi turned his head when he heard the sound, and was startled when he saw the stool held up high by Xu Jun. When he realized that he wanted to die and was about to stick his head over it, Xu Jun had already thrown the stool angrily.
"Don't worry about my affairs—"
Before Tao Chi finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and fell down.
Xu Jun withdrew his punch. He looked at his fist and then at Tao Chi who rolled his eyes on the ground. The things Zhu Xiaojin taught seemed to be useful.
Seeing this, Sima He hurried forward to feel for Tao Chi's pulse. Sima He heaved a sigh of relief after finding the weak pulse.
He always felt that Tao Chi was probably not far from death.
He was not killed by the enemy, not by General Ghost Face, but by Mr. Xu.
"He's not dead, is he?" Xu Jun said innocently, "This time I acted lightly."
"No."
Sima He helped lift the man up and put him back on the bed, and helped to re-apply the medicine on Tao Chi's open wound. Seeing Tao Chi's breathing resumed, Sima He sincerely felt that Tao Chi's life was really serious. The ones are hard.
After confirming that Tao Chi would not die, Xu Jun explained to Sima He to stay and take care of Tao Chi, and then he went out to chase General Ghost Face.
Xu Jun left the warehouse of the camp and entered the main street of the city, and a strong breath of the year rushed towards him.
Unlike their barracks, which have hardly changed much, the entire city here is covered with red lanterns, and the doors are covered with couplets and door gods.
The whole city looked red and beaming.
On the street, the faces of pedestrians coming and going are also full of joy.
Because it was the end of the new year, there were fewer vendors on the street than usual, and the few remaining ones were also selling snacks and firecrackers, and the scent would waft from time to time when walking on the street.
Xu Jun, who was a little bit greedy by the scent, took two deep breaths, and finally ignored the snacks, led the horse, and ran along the street to find General Ghost Face.
When the ghost-faced general was found, the ghost-faced general had already left the city gate and walked a long distance towards the camp.
In the vast snow field, he turned into a small dot the size of a grain of rice, slowly leading the horse forward.
When Xu Jun saw someone coming, he quickly got on his horse and let the horse run over there, "General, general, wait for me..."
Not long after, Xu Jun reined in the horse and stopped a little distance in front of General Ghost Face.
He slid off the horse, led the horse and ran to General Ghost Face.
"General, why didn't you wait for me and left alone?"
"waiting for you."
He had been leading his horse through the snow for a long time, just to wait for Xu Jun.
When Xu Jun heard this, he was happy and grinned.
General Ghost Face glanced sideways at Xu Jun who was smiling happily, and let out a long breath, and the gas turned into white mist and filled his sight.
Tao Chi did not betray the army, which made both of them relieved.
Although this incident was indeed caused by him, he did not disclose it directly, nor did he intentionally do so, which made both of them heave a sigh of relief.
"General."
"Ok?"
"I avenged you."
"what?"
"I hit him." Xu Jun danced his fist.
General Ghost Face raised his eyebrows, "Then is he still alive?"
Xu Jun's eyes widened, and he said loudly, "Of course he's still alive. I didn't intend to kill him. I just wanted to teach him a lesson."
General Ghost Face remained silent, quite suspicious.
General Ghost-Mask's suspicion deeply hurt Xu Jun, and Xu Jun immediately danced and tried to repeat the scene to General Ghost-Mask, "I hit him on the neck as Zhu Xiaojin taught me, so that he will fainted."
Walking in the snow, after Xu Jun danced his fists again, his confidence gradually became weaker, "...and when I left, Sima He also said that he seemed to be still alive."
The snow on the ground is not shallow anymore, every step you step on can reach ankle-deep. After walking for a long time, the cold snow water seeped into the shoes from all around.
After walking a little further, after leaving two rows of long footprints on the snow, Xu Jun begged softly, "General, don't kill him, okay?"
General Ghost Face didn't speak, but he didn't refute either.
Xu Jun looked at the ghost-faced general, no longer entangled.
He walked around behind the ghost-faced general and followed the ghost-faced general. The ghost-faced general in front took a step, and he followed behind. The advantage of this was that his shoes were no longer as cold as before.
The ghost-faced general walked forward for a while, looked back at the toddler with his head lowered, stretched out his hand, picked him up and lifted him onto the horse, letting Xu Jun sit on the horse.
He led the horse and led Xu Jun, and the two of them walked forward slowly with two horses.
"Aren't you cold, General?" Xu Jun, who was sitting on horseback, bent down, and clumsily wiped the snow off his shoes. He felt that it was cold here.
"not cold."
Xu Jun looked at the ghost-faced general.
The ghost-faced general was wearing the dark armor he often wore, only a layer of cotton coat was added under the armor, and his wrists and neck were not covered for the convenience of movement, and were exposed outside.
Xu Jun looked at himself again, three layers of cotton clothes and trousers, plus cloak, fur boots, scarf, hat...
Xu Jun looked at the ghost-faced general and then at himself, then at the ghost-faced general and then at himself. He tried his best to raise his hands that he couldn't lift because he was wearing too much clothes, and he clumsily scratched at his neck. After a while the scarf was removed.
"This is for you."
General Ghost Face looked at the scarf that suddenly appeared in front of him, and then at Xu Jun whose neck was exposed, "No, I'm not cold."
"Here you are." Xu Jun beckoned. Seeing that the ghost-faced general refused to accept him, he stretched out his fingers and hooked the ghost-faced general's armor, pulled him over, and surrounded him with a firm attitude.
Putting the scarf on him carefully, Xu Jun checked it again before letting go.
When Xu Jun left, General Ghost Face looked down at the scarf that covered his head so that only his eyes were outside, and reached out to take off the scarf.
There was still Xu Jun's temperature on the scarf, which was so warm that it instantly dispelled all the chills on his body.
He didn't reject such warmth, but after Xu Jun took off the scarf, his neck was exposed, and a layer of chicken skin froze in a short while.
"Take it." Xu Jun said fiercely.
"I'm not cold."
"I'm not cold either."
General Ghost Face was about to speak again when Xu Jun's head suddenly slid down, and his entire neck shrank into his stomach with a 'bo' sound, leaving only one head outside.
Because of this, Xu Jun became even more chubby, and he was as fat as a big one.
General Ghost Face looked at Xu Jun in a daze. He watched for a while, but he didn't understand how Xu Jun did it.
General Ghost Face didn't speak any more, he led the horse and continued to walk forward slowly.
After walking for a while, a deep laugh came from under the scarf.
Xu Jun retracted his neck into his stomach, hahaha...
003
Xu Jun looked at the person who was walking and giggling in front of him, straightened his collar, shrunk his head and hid his neck under the collar.
The ghost-faced general led the horse and walked slowly, the two chatted from time to time, the time passed without knowing it, and when the two returned to the camp, it was almost evening.
It is dark early in winter, before dinner time, but the sky has gradually darkened.
After entering the camp, General Ghost Face led the horse to the people next to him, and took Xu Jun to the small courtyard where he lived.
As soon as he opened the door, Xu Jun couldn't wait to bend over and sneak into the room from under his armpit, then curled up and squatted beside the table.
Seeing this, the ghost-faced general exited the door again, called the soldier next to him, and asked him to go to the kitchen to have a bucket of hot water brought over.
Because he dispersed all the soldiers who took care of him, and now he is the only one left in the small courtyard, and he has to do many things by himself.
After the soldier went to the kitchen to get hot water, he walked aside and took the basin for soaking his feet, and put it next to the table.
When the ghost-faced general took off the scarf around his neck, the soldiers outside the door had already brought hot water. There was a faint green smoke on the full bucket of hot water, and it was very warm at first glance.
General Ghost Face brought the water into the house, closed the courtyard door, and brought the water into the back room. He was about to ask Xu Jun to take his slippers to soak his feet. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Xu Jun had already taken off his shoes, revealing two white feet. Ya.
After walking around in the snow before, Xu Jun's feet were already turning white from the cold, and his nails were even more bruised.
General Ghost Face has lived in this camp for more than ten years. He can be said to have stayed here most of the time. He has already forgotten whether he was afraid of the cold like Xu Jun when he spent the winter here in the first year. .
But after living here for a long time, I learned some things.
If you walk in the snow and your hands and feet get cold, if you don't soak in hot water, you will easily get chilblains.
Once that thing attacks, it is itchy and painful and cannot be scratched, which is extremely uncomfortable.
None of the soldiers who stayed in the camp all year round did not suffer from frostbite.
Xu Jun obviously hasn't grown up in previous years, which is not surprising, after all, he was the young master of his family when he stayed in the capital, and his parents loved him very much, so they must have taken good care of him.
General Ghost Face stepped forward and poured hot water into the basin, Xu Jun smiled at him flatteringly.
Xu Jun shrank his feet aside, because of the cold, he shrunk his feet into two big shrimps.
"Is it hot?" Xu Jun asked, sucking his red nose.
The ghost-faced general reached into the basin to feel it, and tested the temperature, "It's not hot."
When Xu Jun saw the ghost face, the general put the bucket aside, quickly moved aside to make way for half of the stool, then patted the position next to him, and smiled flatteringly.
General Ghost Face shook his head, "You make it yourself." He was used to the coldness.
Xu Jun was surprised, he thought General Ghost Face wanted to soak his feet, so he took off his shoes early and waited to soak his feet.
General Ghost Face doesn't soak, why does he get hot water?
What is the answer? Xu Jun thought of it almost immediately. His heart warmed up, and he patted the stool again, "Let's soak together."
At the end, he couldn't wait to add, "Hurry up, I'm freezing to death."
General Ghost Face looked at Xu Jun's two fleshy feet huddled together, sat aside, and took off his shoes.
Xu Jun has been watching from the side, and when he saw General Ghost Face sitting down and taking off his shoes, he realized that General Ghost Face's shoes were already wet.
He was better, he sat on the horse and was carried by the horse all the way, while General Ghost Face walked all the way by himself, his shoes were basically all wet.
The snow water seeped into his shoes and ran into them, making his feet red from the cold, but this man didn't notice it, so people couldn't see how cold he was.
Seeing such a pair of feet, Xu Jun couldn't help rubbing his feet together with some heartache.
The ghost-faced general took off his shoes, glanced at Xu Jun next to him, and put his feet directly into the water to soak.
The basin used by the ghost-faced general is not small, enough for two pairs of feet. After the ghost-faced general puts his feet down, the water fills up a bit, and it looks very warm.
Seeing this, Xu Jun quickly sat next to him and put his feet in.
But as soon as Xu Jun put his feet into the water, he immediately screamed, "Ah!"
Xu Jun was so hot that he shrank into a ball and fell to the side, and fell into the arms of General Ghost Face. He raised his feet high and dared not put them in the water.
"Hot, hot, hot..."
Xu Jun hugged the ghost-faced general with his whole body, rubbing his feet left and right, he put his feet in without any precaution, and the scalding water made his feet hurt immediately.
"Are you okay?" General Ghost Face supported Xu Jun.
Xu Jun touched the water with his toes again, and after confirming that the water was really hot, he looked at General Ghost Face, "Are you all right?"
General Ghost Face is baffled.
"Isn't the water hot?"
"Not hot." General Ghost Face said again, "A little bit."
Xu Jun tried the water temperature again, the temperature didn't seem to be a little hot at all, but very hot!
After walking all the way in the snow just now, his feet were already too cold to be warm. Even the lukewarm water at this time was much hotter than usual, not to mention that it was hot water, and the temperature was not low.
Xu Jun felt that he was being cheated. He put Bingbing's feet on the instep of General Ghost Face to ice him, and slowly dawdled to test the water temperature.
The ghost-faced general didn't move, and let Xu Jun step on his instep to test the hot water like a person who just learned water.
"Isn't the general afraid of being hot?"
"got used to."
"Ok?"
General Ghost Face looked at the pair of feet that Xu Jun put on his instep, he didn't understand why, but he just talked about the previous thing inexplicably.
"I wasn't used to it when I first entered the camp, but I gradually got used to it, and it's a lot of things."
When he first entered the camp, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old.
He was over ten years old when he came out of Lenggong, and after studying with Jin Qi for about three years, he came to the border.
At that time, it was the first time he left the palace and entered the camp. He was afraid at the beginning, but he got used to it quickly, and then slowly got used to injuries, dead bodies, death and many other things .
Compared with wounds and death, such small things seem insignificant.
"When I spent the winter in the camp in the first year, I spent most of my time on the battlefield. At that time, the border army was not like this. There were not so many people, and the place where they were stationed was not where it is now..."
He didn't want to talk about the things in the early years, but he started to talk about it without authorization.
At that time, the position where the border army was stationed was still far behind the city, and the several cities here belonged to the Xia Kingdom at that time.
He entered the camp, although Jin Yi intended him to take over the border army, but at that time he was still young, even if the emperor gave orders, no one in the camp would obey him, and it was easy to attract suspicion, so he also started as a soldier in the army .
The small captain, the big captain, and then the deputy general, during the nearly year-long war, he took back several cities for Dayu and held the border defense line.
In the end, Jin Qi followed the people's will and named him the general of Zhen Guo, and took advantage of the situation to let him take over the border army.
Tao Chi counted the same as him, starting from a small soldier, and Tao Chi was already a squad leader when he noticed Tao Chi.
In an action to encircle and suppress Xia Guo, he led a team of troops to cooperate with their large troops to encircle.
At that time, the soldiers of Xia State saw that the general situation was over, and they had the heart to die. It was Tao Chi who suggested that the army should relax the encirclement for the time being, and use the terrain not to confront those people head-on.
The action at that time was not big, but General Ghost Face noticed him, so he was promoted to be the captain of the team. Two years later, Tao Chi really made a contribution.
The ghost-faced general carried him again, promoted him as a lieutenant general, and asked him to follow him.
The time he spent with Tao Chi was not the longest. Some of the lieutenants in the battalion had served as lieutenant generals for five or six years, but since Tao Chi had always been with him and stayed by his side, it was only counted as the time spent together. He and Tao Chi get along the longest.
"General."
"Ok?"
"I won't betray you." Xu Jun vowed, as if to prove his determination, he put his feet into hot water and soaked them cruelly.
But after a while he couldn't take it anymore, grinning his teeth and pulling his foot out again.
Speaking of Tao Chi and what happened back then, General Ghost Face felt a little gloomy.
But listening to Xu Jun's words, and seeing Xu Jun's grinning expression, his heart instantly cleared up.
There was a hint of sweetness in his heart, and he couldn't help but smile, and there were waves of water in those ancient pool-like black eyes.
"Me too."
"What?" Because Xu Jun had gradually adapted to the water temperature, Xu Jun was thinking whether to put his feet in and scald him, and he didn't pay attention to what the ghost-faced general next to him said.
"Me too."
"Huh?" Xu Jun didn't understand.
General Ghost Face glanced at him, "I said, me too."
"Huh?" Xu Jun pretended not to understand.
He didn't hear it the first time, he really didn't understand it the second time, and the third time he found the ghost-faced general's voice really nice.
When he was gentle and whispered, his voice was always low and a little hoarse. It was a man's unique magnetic voice, which was very comfortable to listen to.
Especially when he speaks nice words, the voice is even better, making people want to kiss.
"I said I..." General Ghost Face, who was about to repeat it again, sensed something was wrong.
Xu Jun didn't hear it, and was a little disappointed.
"like you……"
Xu Jun was surprised, General Ghost Face turned his head and kissed Xu Jun's soft cheek.
The ghost-faced general's sudden confession and kiss made Xu Jun's whole body red.He put his feet in the water, next to the Ghost General's feet.
The water was still a little hot, but the warmth spread from his feet to his whole body, warming him up.
"Can you...don't leave at night." Another voice came from under the ghost's face.
Xu Jun smiled ambiguously after being slightly surprised, "Okay!"
The ghost-faced general became anxious, and it was only at this time that he realized that his words were wrong, "It's not like that." He just didn't want to be alone.
He didn't feel many things when he was alone, but after meeting Xu Jun, he became greedy and dissatisfied.
He never longed for company before, but now he wants to hug Xu Jun tightly and never let go.
Xu Jun said softly, "Okay!"
"You—" Ghost-Mask General's words came to his lips, and stopped with Xu Jun's kiss on the mask.
"Okay!"
"I said no, I—"
"Okay!" Xu Jun leaned forward and secretly told General Ghost Face, "General, I will take charge if there is a little general."
