Born of Worry

Wild geese fly south, autumn goes and winter comes.

There are less than 20 days until New Year's Eve.

This New Year, Li Xian is doomed not to be able to go home.

Next New Year... Hehe, he doesn't know if he can make it to the next New Year.

He didn't even know if he could survive this winter.

"Cough cough..."

He covered his mouth and coughed very suppressedly. The injury under his ribs kept recurring and uncomfortably painful. His chest cavity was extremely oppressed.

In the dark night, only a dim oil lamp was still on. He was afraid of being discovered. For several months, he could only use this little light to slowly write down information one after another on paper.

Because the light was too weak, his eyes were already very tired, accompanied by small stinging pains, but he couldn't stop writing.

Eyesight also deteriorated dramatically.

The brazier in the tent still has the last bit of charcoal fire, and it will soon be extinguished. He is very cold, his hands and feet are cold, and his fingers are almost so stiff that he can't hold the pen steadily.

The injuries on his body still haven't healed.

Hu Lv Gu Qiang|The number of times he was raped is increasing.

He no longer knew how to resist, the more he resisted, the more he would be hurt.

Simply accept it.

The battle between Dayin and Tahan has never stopped.

Although Li Xian was in their hands and Dayin couldn't attack, it didn't mean he couldn't defend either.

Many villages around Dai and Xin prefectures had been captured by Tahan, and the villagers fled everywhere, some fled into the mountains, and some fled to Jinyang to seek the protection of the army.In this regard, Dayin's military accepted all of them, but they were not allowed to stay in Jinyang, but scattered to Fenzhou, Xizhou, Luzhou and other places south of Jinyang.

Jinyang is a big city with a long history. There are many surrounding villages and a large population.Before the people of Dai and Xinzhou evacuated, Dayin paid for them from the treasury to subsidize them, but this city of Jinyang... the treasury really couldn't afford it.

Since the day the army entered Jinyang, notices have been posted in the city and surrounding villages, advising the people to temporarily leave their homes and seek refuge in the south, but to this day, less than one out of ten have actually evacuated.If Tahan comes to ask for Jinyang, they still have to give it, but I'm afraid they won't be able to give them an empty city.

Lin Ruxuan could only feel the tremendous pressure covering himself.

Since the beginning of autumn, Tahan has launched attacks on Dayin many times, no less than [-] times, large and small.But for some reason, it was impossible to attack half a city in one state, especially after taking Xinzhou, almost every attack would be met with a strong counterattack, and the casualties were not small.

Xie Yan is really puzzled by this. It stands to reason that their tactics are completely fine, and they even make strange moves repeatedly, but they just can't break through Dayin's defense line. It seems that every attack can be predicted by the opponent in advance, and they stay there early Just wait for them to come.

It's not surprising that this kind of thing happens once or twice, but it's hard not to be suspicious if it happens more than a dozen times in a row. Xie Yan even wonders if there is a traitor in the Tahan army, or there is a dark thread from the other party. While monitoring their whereabouts, they couldn't find any evidence.

If it is true that there is a hidden thread ambushing them, then their methods are too clever, and they have not revealed a flaw for so long, which is really too terrifying.

And the point that he couldn't figure out the most was that even if they heard the information, how did they get it out?They are now outside Yanmen Pass, if they want to enter Dayin territory, they have to go through Yanmen Pass, but Yanmen Pass is heavily guarded by their people, and no one is found to come and go unusually.And from here to Jinyang, even the fastest horses have to run for half a day without stopping. Sometimes they launch a fast attack, usually at night and plan to launch the attack the next morning, but the opponent can still accurately block and defend , this is really too unbelievable.

If it is said that all of this is the plan of the other party's expert, and there is no information leaked out, then this expert may not be called an expert anymore, but should be called a god.

If they really had gods and men in charge, they didn't have to send Li Xian in at the beginning... Wait, Li Xian?

Could it be that their eyeliner is Li Xian?

But...is this possible?

Although he knew that Li Xian was arrested on purpose at the time, and had doubted his purpose, but for the past six months, he had sent someone to watch Li Xian closely, and he did not find any unusual behavior in him.And even if he wants to collect information, he can get it by just staying in the tent and copying the Tao Te Ching every day?He has never appeared near the tents of himself and Hu Lugu, so how could he overhear them discussing the battle plan?

The more Xie Yan thought about it, the more confused he became. Before helping Hu Lugu get rid of his powerful brothers, he had never encountered such a difficult enemy, but now...

He quickly closed the fan and tapped it on the palm of his hand.No, there must be something tricky in it, he has to find out this person no matter what.

There are still two days until New Year's Eve.

However, Li Xian felt that something was wrong with today's atmosphere.

The old military doctor seemed to have something to do, so he delivered the medicine to the door and went back. The guard at the door was carrying a tray and just put the medicine bowl on his case, when Hu Lugu and Xie Yan suddenly appeared outside the account, and walked forward Walked in after a while.

He yelled in his heart that it was not good, he didn't dare to say anything, he didn't touch the medicine bowl, he just continued to copy the Tao Te Ching.

The guard was ordered to step aside by Hu Lugu, who came forward, looked at the medicine bowl, then at him, and said, "Li Xian, drink the medicine."

"Don't bother Khan, I will drink."

"I tell you to drink and you have to drink!"

He was already guilty, but when Hu Lugu yelled angrily, his hands trembled and he dropped his pen on the case.He looked up at the other party, and had no choice but to reach for the medicine bowl.

Heart beating wildly.

I hope there will be no notes on the bottom of this bowl.

Hu Lugu has been staring at him for a long time, just as he put his finger on the bottom of the bowl, the other party suddenly grabbed his wrist, grabbed the medicine bowl with the other hand, touched the bottom of the bowl, but frowned, and then Put the bowl back on the table, because I spilled some medicine too hard.He grabbed his hand again, looked over and over several times, then shook his head angrily, turned around and shook his head at Xie Yan.

Li Xian heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

Seeing that he didn't find anything, Xie Yan was also very puzzled, and whispered something in his ear, Hu Lugu nodded, and called out the guard who delivered the medicine just now.

The three of them stood at the entrance of the tent, and they could just be seen from Li Xian's angle, and Hu Lugu ordered the guard, "Take off your clothes!"

The guard was obviously stunned, and after a few seconds, he uttered: "Ah?"

"Ah what, let you take off your clothes!"

"...Yes, Khan."

He definitely didn't dare to disobey what his own Khan said, so he took off his clothes immediately, bare|topless, "Khan, take off, take off."

Hu Lugu looked at him for a long time, but there was nothing special except for the scars, so he couldn't help but looked at Xie Yan, Xie Yan shook his head, and he shouted again: "Take off your pants!"

"what?!"

The guard was completely terrified and refused to take off. After a long while, he suddenly knelt down in front of Hu Lugu and said two outrageous words: "Khan! Even if you are Khan, but, I really don't have broken sleeves. I don't like men!"

As soon as he said this, the soldiers onlookers laughed, and Xie Yan covered his mouth with a fan. Hu Lugu couldn't hold back his face immediately, and said, "What are you laughing at?" He glanced at the guard again, "Even if You have, I haven't!" After saying that, he walked away.

Xie Yan also followed him, and the guard dared to stand up, put on his clothes, and shouted to the surrounding guards: "[Tahan] what are you laughing at! Don't laugh, don't laugh!"

It took a while outside to completely quiet down, but Li Xian couldn't help but laugh.The man turned his back to him just now, and he saw his back, and recognized who this man was through the scars on his back.

Qin Yu.

Qin Yu is absolutely correct.

It's no wonder that every time he was alone by Hu Lu, he was able to guard the door so calmly, without showing any strangeness.

Xuanyu's highest-level leader, no one, can do better than him.

Li Xian picked up the medicine bowl, closed his eyes and drank it in one gulp.

Still bitter, bitter in the mouth, more bitter in the heart.

Xie Yan couldn't get strong evidence to prove that Li Xian was the dark thread, and his mood became more and more depressed.

Instead of going back to the camp, he went for a walk by the lake.

Because it was winter and the creek was too shallow, it would freeze easily. In order to get water easily, they moved the camping place to the lakeside.

There was a snowfall two days ago, and as long as there were no people active, the snow would not melt.He walked slowly along the lake, looking at the white snow field in the distance, his heart suddenly became white as snow.

He still holds the folding fan in his hand, but it has not been unfolded. Some people must wonder why he still holds a folding fan in winter.To be honest, this fan may have a special meaning to him.

I still remember that day a few years ago, he killed someone with a knife in Weiyang City, and lived a life of fleeing from then on.It was also thanks to his mother giving him a golden tortoise before he went out, so that he didn't let him eat and sleep all the way.He exchanged the golden tortoise for silver taels, fled all the way to the border of Dayin, and joined General Cao's family.

He didn't want to explain too much about his relationship with General Cao, but when he fled to Yanmen Pass, he still had the last bit of money on him, and he happened to see this folding fan in a calligraphy and painting shop in Daizhou City, so he spent it He took the remaining silver taels and bought it.

Not for anything else, just for the poems on this fan, which were written by his father.

I don't know who made the inscription, it's not a calligrapher, it's even a bit clumsy, but because it's his father's poem, he bought the fan.

His father passed away early, and his mother has always been alone, raising him up.

Is she... okay?

It must be impossible... There is only one only son, and he has become a murderer.

He thanked him, did he really do something wrong...

The new wind howled.

"No... I won't be wrong, my words of thanks won't be wrong!" He suddenly shouted at Xue Ye, "It was Li Xian who harmed me, it was Li Xian who harmed me! I don't regret it, I don't regret it !"

He shouted, it seemed that only in this way could he slightly suppress the panic in his heart.

He is afraid of making mistakes, afraid of failure, and afraid of finding out that he has long been a sinner through the ages.

"It was Li Xian who harmed me...I am not at fault."

Xie Yan muttered, his knees suddenly softened, he knelt down towards the south of the imperial capital, and knocked his head hard three times.

"Mother, it's the child who is unfilial, but the child... can no longer look back."
