The general is always teased

An hour passed quickly, and in the camp, the soldiers were lined up neatly and ready to go.

Shi Nanyue got on his horse and glanced at everyone one by one. His expression was cold and serious. After a while, he gave the order to set off, and said loudly: "All officers and men obey the order and set off—"

With this order, the gate of the camp was opened wide, and the horn sounded, soaring straight into the sky.

Shen Yijin didn't know how to ride a horse, but under such circumstances, it was inconvenient for Shi Nanyue to ride with Shen Yijin, so he handed Shen Yijin over to Bai Su, who followed behind with Shen Yijin.

Riding with Bai Su, Shen Yijin did not sit at the front, but sat at the back. Although she put her hands around Bai Su's waist, it was not as ambiguous as when she was riding with Shi Nanyue before. There is still some distance.

Because the army was marching and not walking fast, Bai Su and Shen Yijin were at the end, so it was naturally slower, with a somewhat idle feeling.

Halfway through the journey, Bai Su pondered for a while, and asked aloud: "Xiao Jin, can I call you Xiao Jin?"

After hearing the words, Shen Yijin was startled for a moment, then nodded after realizing the reaction, and replied: "Yes."

Bai Su chuckled, and asked slowly: "Xiao Jin, do you like Yue'er?" He looked back at Shen Yijin, and added: "Don't worry, I don't mean anything else, it's just because I can see it." Come out, Yue'er, he likes you very much."

"Well, I like Brother Shi." After Bai Su's voice fell, Shen Yijin replied with a serious and firm tone.

Hearing this, Bai Su laughed, and he said comfortingly: "In this way, I can feel at ease."

Bai Su raised his head and looked at Shi Nanyue, who could only see a blurry figure in front of him, with a touch of exclamation in his tone: "Yue'er is a good boy who values ​​love and affection. He entered the palace with me at the age of 16, and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the late emperor. It has been ten years, and the court has undergone great changes in the past ten years. The first emperor passed away, the new emperor ascended the throne, the old ministers took power, and the harem intervened in politics. As His Majesty's most trusted and dependable minister, he walked on thin ice every step of the way. He always remembered what the late emperor said. Say, sincerely, Your Majesty, sincerely, Great Swallow."

"There is great love hidden in Yue'er's heart. His heart is for the common people and the world of Yan, but he knows nothing about his own feelings, and he is very slow. He always rejects people thousands of miles away. I used to be very I was worried about him, worried that he would have no love in his heart, would not experience the beauty of loving and being loved, and because he had no concern, he would even risk everything for His Majesty and the common people, including his own life..."

"But fortunately, Yue'er finally met you, Xiao Jin, and understood how to love someone. Since I met you these days, I have seen him laugh the most, and it is also the first time I have seen him so at a loss And treat a person tenderly—probing cautiously, moving forward little by little, lest you be abrupt and scare you away."

Speaking of this, Bai Su turned his head, smiled at Shen Yijin, and said very solemnly: "Xiao Jin, thank you for liking Yue'er, and allowing him to experience the beauty and warmth of being loved."

Shen Yijin smiled back at Bai Su, frowned, and said in a sweet and gentle tone: "No, in fact, it was Brother Shi who gave me warmth, moved me to be cherished and cared for, thank you, and I should be thankful." I thank him for that."

After Bai Su heard this, the corners of his mouth rose, and he liked Shen Yijin more and more in his heart.

After that, the two of them didn't speak any more, and after another half an hour, the army arrived at the foot of Yunshan Mountain.

Today is probably a beautiful day, the weather is excellent, under the sun, the clouds and mists surrounding the mountains dissipate, looking up, the whole cloud mountain can be clearly presented in front of everyone.

After resting at the foot of the mountain for a quarter of an hour, several generals followed Shi Nanyue's instructions yesterday and led their troops up the mountain along different routes.

After Lin Long and Jiang Yun went up, Shi Nanyue also led 100 people, distributed the antidote given by old man Lin to them, and together with Bai Su and Shen Yijin, walked around to the back of the mountain and cut off the messy weeds and branches , found a path and went up the mountain.

This road is hidden in the woods, it is a bit steep, and few people step on it on weekdays, it is not easy to walk, and there are many dense weeds. Shi Nanyue was worried about Shen Yijin, so he stretched out his hand to pull him, but Shen Yijin shook his head at him, He smiled and said, "I can do it myself."

After listening to what Shi Nanyue said, he quietly watched Shen Yijin for a while, before nodding, but he would still look back at him from time to time to make sure that he would not fall behind.

At this time, Shen Yijin would always smile at him, confident and calm.

The reason why Shen Yijin rejected Shi Nanyue was not out of self-righteousness. For him, such a mountain road is indeed not difficult to walk. Although he is thin and a scholar, since his parents passed away, he has no money and can't farm. , I had no choice but to go up the mountain to get food by myself. I have long been accustomed to walking this way, practice makes perfect, so walking is even more stable than some soldiers.

It is precisely because of this that those soldiers who complained about him and thought that he would drag them down finally calmed down and no longer held prejudices.

From the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, they walked for about half an hour, and finally came to the miasma forest.

Stopping in an open space, everyone raised their heads and looked at the forest not far away, their faces were very heavy.

At this moment, they couldn't hear any sound, and the surroundings were silent. Looking up, the forest in front of them was gloomy and terrifying. It was obviously an excellent weather, but the sun couldn't shine into the forest. Shrouded in a mist, the mist covered the entire mountain forest in darkness, and just by looking at it like this, one could detect the danger hidden in it.

Turning around, Shi Nanyue's face was serious. He asked all the soldiers to take all the medicines distributed earlier, and ordered them to cover their mouths and noses with cloths moistened with water before entering the miasma forest, and then let everyone stay where they were. After resting for a quarter of an hour, he gave the order to move on.

Walking to Shen Yijin's side, Shi Nanyue looked at him, and said with a serious expression: "Xiao Jin, after entering the miasma forest, you must not leave my side."

Shen Yijin didn't take it too seriously, he nodded obediently after hearing what he said, and said, "Well, I remember."

Shi Nanyue let out an 'um', thought for a while, and took Shen Yijin's hand again, so that he could feel more at ease.

Walking into the forest, the surroundings became even quieter, with only the sound of their own footsteps in their ears, and the atmosphere seemed oppressive and dull. Shen Yijin was held by Shi Nanyue and walked carefully, then turned her head slightly, looking around, with a heavy heart.

Walking all the way, Shen Yijin didn't see any living creatures. There was only a thick fog in front of him, low and low under the trees. Occasionally, he could see dense white bones. There were people and animals, and he probably broke in accidentally. Come and never go out again.

"Are you afraid?" Shi Nanyue leaned down and whispered in his ear.

Shen Yijin said: "I'm not afraid."

No matter when, as long as Shi Nanyue is by his side, he is not afraid. He trusts Shi Nanyue and knows that he will protect himself.

As they went deeper into the miasma forest, they saw more corpses and bones. When she saw a few corpses of men who had not completely decomposed appeared in her field of vision, Shen Yijin frowned tightly, feeling a little Nausea, the hand holding Shi Nanyue couldn't help but exert some strength.

"Xiao Jin..."

Turning his head, Shi Nanyue looked at Shen Yijin, feeling very distressed. He wanted to hold him in his arms, but at this moment, under the eyes of a hundred soldiers, he really couldn't do whatever he wanted, so he had no choice but to hold Shen Yijin back , giving him comfort and encouragement with his eyes.

"I'm fine." Shen Yijin smiled at Shi Nanyue, although her complexion was a little pale, her eyes were still firm and firm.

Staring at Shen Yijin for a while, Shi Nanyue pursed his lips, but reached out his hand after all, touched his head lightly, and said softly: "It's okay, I'm here."

"En." Shen Yijin nodded slightly.

Bai Su glanced at them, bent his eyebrows, and showed a little smile in his eyes.

Afterwards, the group walked for another quarter of an hour, encountered many dangers on the way, and after successfully avoiding the miasma mother group, they were finally able to faintly see the edge of the miasma forest. This discovery greatly boosted everyone's morale , instantly became energetic.

Along the way, they saw rotting corpses covered with moths, stuck in potholes, encountered swarms of mosquitoes, and even met miasma mothers. He was not poisoned, but he still felt sick and uncomfortable from the poisonous insect bites and the strange scent. At this time, he was finally able to walk out of this gloomy forest, and everyone was happy.

The moment they came out of the miasma forest and were illuminated by the sun again, everyone felt the joy of surviving a catastrophe.

Stretching out his hand to pat the ruined leaves on Shen Yijin's shoulder, Shi Nanyue smiled at him, then turned his head and looked at the cottage not far away.

After handing Shen Yijin over to Bai Su, Shi Nanyue led a hundred soldiers and went straight to the outside of the stronghold without encountering any obstacles.

Standing outside the gate of the village, Shi Nanyue looked up, and saw that the bandits had come out in full force, leaving only a dozen people guarding the village, and the village was completely empty.

At this time, a dozen bandits left behind also found Shi Nanyue and the others, all of them showed panic, and their hands and feet trembled unconsciously.

Facing Shi Nanyue, they knew very well that they had no chance of winning and would definitely lose, so they opened the gate of the village without any resistance, and then all knelt down and surrendered.

Shi Nanyue glanced at these bandits, then asked a group of soldiers to tie them up with ropes, and then asked Bai Su to lead the rest of the soldiers into the village, and brought out the rest of the people to guard them one by one. He himself took Shen Yijin around the yard and walked towards the cell not far away.

This cottage is very beautifully repaired, the yard is full of flowers and plants, the floor is also paved with bricks, it is really luxurious, if you don't know it, you will only think it is the courtyard of that family's villa.

Shen Yijin looked at these arrangements, frowned, and kept shaking her head. This is how many villages and people passing by were robbed in exchange for it. It's really disgusting.

Not long after they left, there was a sudden noise in the cottage.

Stopping in their tracks, Shen Yijin and Shi Nanyue looked at each other, then quickly ran towards the place where the sound came from.

When they arrived, they saw a bandit with triangular eyes holding a woman with a knife and slowly coming out from behind the door, while Bai Su and the other soldiers all stood aside and surrounded the place. Bandits.

Standing on the same spot, Shen Yijin's face became very ugly after seeing who the kidnapped woman was, and the hand placed by his side was also tightly clenched into a fist.
