miscalculation

Sitting in the same carriage, Ji Lan and Xiao Liang were relatively speechless.With an army of 50, they rushed to the border in the starry night, and they have been walking for more than a month now.

Along the way, Xiao Liang hid too many words, wanted to tell Ji Lan, but refused to speak.Today, it happened that Ji Lan had been riding a horse for too long and was exhausted, so she got into the carriage.

The inexplicable cold war between the two, to be precise, is Xiao Liang's cold war, while Ji Lan is completely courtier, polite and courteous, and seems to have no personal relationship with him.The more he behaved like this, the angrier Xiao Liang became.

Obviously he wanted to do this himself, but now he really saw Ji Lan doing it, and he was very unhappy in his heart.

After finally reaching a town, all the troops were stationed outside, they went in and found an inn to stay.This time, Gu Zhao's daughter Gu Qingmo was also accompanying her.

It is said that she showed martial arts in front of Xiao Yi, and she was determined to avenge her father, and after kneeling for a long time, Xiao Yi agreed to go out with the army.

The reason why Ji Lan took her was because she was there, and the soldiers of the Gu family in the frontier would definitely be more submissive.He was worried about his elder brother, the battle report said that he was hit by an arrow in his arm, but he would never write a letter to explain it in person, the injury was more serious.

When Ji Langfeng got the news, he fell ill on the bed. Hearing that Ji Lan said that he would invite him to go to the expedition, he felt sad and helpless.

"Last year you wrote to Ze'er to discuss the use of troops, but you mentioned him a little bit. I thought Ze'er was upright and didn't dare to take the credit, so I reported it according to the facts. I didn't expect Gu Zhao to put all his credit on you. , to attract His Majesty's attention to my Ji family. Fortunately, the crown prince is now established. As long as you don't make mistakes, if you can win this battle, the position of the Ji family will be stable. Just don't be too arrogant. Worry, wait until you win and come back, don’t worry anymore.”

Along the way, Ji Lan often recalled what his grandfather said on the hospital bed before leaving.High meritorious service is really a harmful word. Now he only asks his elder brother to hold on.This time, for the sake of speed, he marched hard, almost non-stop day and night, and only rested for four hours a day, Xiao Liang seemed to know his intentions and never objected.

Ji Lan knew that Xiao Liang was born to be pampered and pampered. After the exchange of blood, his body was much healthier, but he was never so tired, so he couldn't help feeling a little pity in his heart.

For more than a month, he deliberately kept a distance, just because he wanted Xiao Liang to be impatient.Unexpectedly, he was really speechless all the way. Looking back on the night of the Spring Festival, what he eavesdropped on the eaves was like a dream.

He recalled the time when he first fell in love with Xiao Liang, he was really very happy.Because of Cha Yukoudan, he couldn't get along with him often, but Yun Zhao stayed with him every day.Then, he remembered that Lantern Festival, he followed all the way, just to take the opportunity to run into him.Unexpectedly, when Xiao Liang was squatting by the river, a man would appear. Although the man was wearing a strange mask, he was obviously talking to Xiao Liang.When he was leaving, he actually touched his head, such an extremely intimate gesture, even he rarely did it.

He knew that the man was weird, but he was full of helplessness, he didn't know where Xiao Liang's heart was.Since Zhang Huaimin's death, Xiao Liang has shown less and less emotion.

"General Ji, why are you looking at me in a daze, what are you thinking?"

Since Xiao Liang marched with him, he never called him Biao, only called General Ji.It turns out that three words are much more unfamiliar than two words, and every time it pokes a sore spot in Ji Lan's heart.

"His Royal Highness, why don't you rest?"

"Since you don't want to talk about it, then I won't ask about it."

Ji Lan watched him stand up, and seeing that he was about to walk out of the room, she couldn't hold back after all, and hugged him from behind.

Xiao Liang didn't resist, and let him hug him without making a sound or pushing back.

Both of them have too much to talk to each other, but they get along with each other every day, they are both silent, making it uncomfortable for both of them.

"Didn't you ask me what I was thinking? You stay here, and I'll tell you." Ji Lan rubbed against Xiao Liang's ear, and said softly, the breath he exhaled made him feel very itchy.

"Sooner or later, they will be monarchs and ministers, why should they be so?"

"That day is still in the future, why can't I just muddle along? You know, the past few months without you have been a daily torment for me."

"Just passing by? Either you never owned it, or it lasted forever. I don't use the word muddling over here."

"Because you are destined not to last long, you gave up early?"

"Since you understand, why don't you let go?"

Slowly loosening the hands behind him, Xiao Liang walked out of the room step by step without looking back.Ever since Zhang Huaimin died, he knew that he had nothing at all, and he couldn't keep anyone he cared about.That being the case, why bother to be greedy and seek what is unobtainable.Even if you get it now, you will lose it in the future. It is better to be empty-handed from the beginning.

Thinking of this, he went back to the room alone, sat on the window sill, and suddenly heard the sound of a piano.The sound came from the yard, presumably Gu Qingmo was playing the piano.It's just that the sound of the zither is mournful and desolate, which is quite sad.

I think that when he was a child, he made friends with Xiao Cheng and often followed him to Gu's mansion to play.The two sisters of the Gu family were also acquainted. Later, the elder sister Gu Jinghua married Xiao Cheng, but Gu Qingmo Xu's family died of illness before the big wedding, so she never entered the family and only stayed at home as a widow.

Thinking of this, Xiao Liang couldn't help sighing, Xiao Cheng was captured by the Dian Kingdom, and he didn't know what happened.Before leaving, Xiao Yi told him to save him if he could, and to avenge him in the future if he couldn't.

He really didn't understand how his father would trust him and Ji Lan with such an important military matter.Although Ji Lan had a bad life, he didn't know much when he first entered the battlefield.

Concubine Hui only passed on the first half of the "Summary of Using Soldiers" written by Yang Yushu during her lifetime. Xiao Liang has been studying it since he was a child, but he dared not show it to Xiao Yi.The second half of the volume was handed in by Zhang Huaimin, and he had only received it not long ago, so he couldn't read it several times.

Xiao Liang thinks that he is only at the level of talking on paper, and he has no confidence in his heart, but since he came here, he can only reluctantly gamble.

After arriving at the border, Xiao Liang and Ji Lan went to visit Ji Ze first, but saw him pale and sleeping in the military tent.Only then did the military doctor report that the poisoned arrow in his left arm had invaded his lungs, and now his vitality was slim, and the morale of the army was disturbed, so he pretended that there was no serious problem.Before, they used a drug to force him to wake up for several hours a day, but now it is exhausted.

When Ji Lan heard about it, her heart was pierced like a knife, and tears filled her eyes.Ji Ze became famous at a young age. He started to fight on the battlefield at the age of 15, and led the Ji family army to become famous all over the world. There has never been such a time.

Xiao Liang dragged the military doctor outside the tent, only asked him to bring the medicine, then cut open his arm with his hand and blended it with his own blood.

"His Royal Highness, why are you doing this?"

"The king was injured a few days ago, and once drank a miracle medicine, which can cure all poisons. I think my blood is also useful. Why don't you give it to General Chang Sheng for a try."

"Reporting to Your Highness, General Ji's poison has entered the lungs, and the gods cannot save it. This bowl of medicine can only save it for a while."

"Needless to say, right now we can only take one step at a time, you should feed him first."

As the military doctor said, he brought medicine mixed with Xiao Liang's blood and fed it to Ji Ze.Ji Lan smelled the smell of blood and asked why, only then did he know that Xiao Liang used blood to help the medicine, he was horrified, and hurried to Xiao Liang's camp.

Xiao Liang lost a lot of blood, and was a little groggy, lying there resting.He was a little confused, but Ji Lan suddenly stepped forward and hugged him.

Ji Lan wanted to say something, but seeing Xiao Liang's tired face, she didn't dare to disturb him, and just supported him to lie down and fall asleep.

After sleeping like this for an hour, someone came running and said, "Report to General Xiao Ji, the general is awake!"

Xiao Liang was also woken up by him immediately, but seeing Ji Lan was in his tent, he didn't bother to ask him, and hurriedly said: "In that case, let's go and have a look."

Ji Lan supported him and went to Xiao Liang's camp, but he saw that all the soldiers were standing side by side very upright along the way, looking extremely precious.

Sure enough, Ji Ze woke up and leaned against the bed, seeing the two of them entering, he wanted to salute Xiao Liang.Ji Ze said: "I heard from the military doctor that it was His Highness who rescued him with blood, and Ji Ze was able to wake up. Such a great kindness, I feel very grateful."

Xiao Liang hurriedly supported him and said, "General Ji, don't be too polite!"

Ji Lan looked at the military doctor, but saw that he hesitated to speak, so she winked and told him to go on first.

Ji Ze said: "Jing Bo, please help His Highness to sit down, while I am awake now, I will tell you about this incident as soon as possible."

Ji Lan said: "Brother, you have always marched cautiously, how could you be defeated so badly? General Gu has been fighting all year round, why did you die in an ambush?"

Before they came, it was rumored that the crown prince was afraid of King Zhao Xiaocheng, and deliberately made troubles, and ordered Ji Ze to cheat, let Gu Zhao die on the battlefield, and damage the power of King Zhao.However, this kind of statement is presumably provoked by someone, not to mention that when the two countries are at war, wouldn't such infighting give the Dian Kingdom a big advantage?Xiao Liang saw that the two of them dared not bring up this matter in front of him, but he also understood the seriousness of it.

Ji Ze said: "It's a long story. General Gu and I have been cooperating with Wushuang. I don't want to make mistakes again and again since King Zhao came to oversee the army. I suspect that he has secret work around him. I kindly remind him. I don't want King Zhao to speak sarcasticly, and General Gu is noncommittal. After the Battle of Niuling, General Gu and I were attacked in two separate ways. By the time I escaped to rescue General Gu, it was already too late. Sure enough, the secret agent took this opportunity to take King Zhao hostage, and I chased after him. But he was hit by a poisoned arrow."

Xiao Liang said: "King Zhao has always been cautious, how can he tolerate meticulous work?"

He knew very well that Xiao Cheng was always cautious, and the people around him were his confidantes, so it was really strange that this meticulous work came about.

Ji Lan said: "Then who is the last name of Xi Zuo?"

Ji Ze said: "The people on King Zhao's side disobeyed the military order and forcibly rescued them, and the loss was more than half. I only thought that they were the prince's personal soldiers, and I didn't dare to add crimes by force. I just detained them aside, so as not to have secret work mixed in. According to what they said, that secret work, named Qin Xin, has been with King Zhao for less than a year, and he has won his trust."

"Qin Xin!"

Ji Lan and Xiao Liang spoke in unison, astonished.They never expected that they would hear this name at this time.

The author has something to say:

It should be finished before 30, but I thought it would be impossible to write [-].I've been out of inspiration lately...
