one year later.

After summer, the climate in northern Xinjiang becomes more and more unbearable.The vegetation is sparse on the vast Gobi, and the dry land is thousands of miles away. The bright sun often blinds people's eyes, and the air is full of dirt and leathery smell.

The camp tents in the Central Plains in front of Yulin Pass are densely packed around the towering fortress in the middle.

In the Central Plains barracks.

A group of soldiers who have just returned from patrol will return, everyone's armor is bright, and their swords and guns are unsheathed.But the only one in the lead was not wearing a chain armor, and his loose chest was also exposed. When the horse was galloping, the wind blew his sleeves, revealing a piece of smooth wheat-colored skin.After entering the camp, he jumped off the horse with a beautiful gesture, threw the reins to the soldier casually, and cursed: "It's so fucking hot, if only I could take off the skin."

The sun was indeed unbearable. Even though he was only wearing unlined clothing, his black hair was wet with sweat and stuck to his full temples. His handsome face seemed like a rock that had been steamed by mist.

A young man of a foreign race who followed behind him also dismounted, pursed his lips and said, "You still need to wear light armor when patrolling, otherwise if the enemy soldiers attack rashly, you will be very hard to defend against. Brother Zhuo, next time—"

Zhuo Yue said irritably: "Where the hell are there enemy soldiers? I really wish that an enemy soldier would come out somewhere to practice my hands. The knives and guns are all rusted."

He looked around, coughed lightly and asked, "Where's Officer Li?"

"It's on the school field." Xiaobing replied, "The sentinel is teaching everyone how to shoot arrows."

Although the status of firecrackers in the army has been increasing over the past year, due to the ammunition inventory, the arrow method cannot be completely thrown away.As he got older, Li Changxing's arrow skills became more and more superb, and he became famous among the three armies.On the days when he taught everyone how to shoot arrows, many soldiers from other armies would come to watch.

Zhuo Yue strolled towards the school grounds, and sure enough, he saw a large group of people huddling together from a distance, often bursting into applause.

With a smile on his lips, he stood behind the crowd with his shoulders crossed, his eyes fixed on the person standing with a bow in the center of the school field.

With his back facing him, the man was wearing the most common crimson military robe. The dark brown martial arts belt cinched his wasp waist very thinly, making his upper body tall and handsome, and his lower body with long legs as slender as bamboo.The breeze blew up his robe and scarf, and the slightly fluttering fabric was like flowing clouds, surrounding his handsome figure like a distant mountain.

At this time, in the wind, the bow full in his hand clanged, and the flying arrow flew through the air, just passing through the bull's-eye that was [-] meters away!

The people around were silent for a short while, and applauded like thunder erupted in an instant.

If it's just an ordinary wooden target, hitting the bull's-eye is not something worthy of praise at all.But what stood there was a piece of light silk cloth with a small hole the size of a coin cut out in the center of the cloth, and Li Changxing's arrow flew through this small hole.

Shooting silk cloth is a test of the skill of the archer.If the arrow is strong enough, the wind will blow the silk cloth, but if the strength is low, the arrow will not be able to pass through the small hole. Only if the arrow is ingenious and impartial, can it hit the "bull's eye".

"Piercing Yang with a hundred steps" has been a good story since ancient times, let alone "Piercing the Clouds and Flying the Moon"?

The surrounding audience were so excited that their eyes lit up and they applauded like crazy.Zhuo Yue also laughed, clapped vigorously, and even whistled.

A soldier noticed him, and immediately excitedly said: "Zhuo, Zhuo Candidate!"

Everyone around turned their heads and saluted him one after another.

The people in the middle of the school field heard the voice from this side and looked back suddenly.His back view was already pleasing to the eye, but at this moment, he suddenly turned his head to reveal that deep and beautiful face, with a pair of shining emerald pupils flickering with a light golden light, as beautiful as a spring begonia blooming in the Nine Heavens Wonderland.

Zhuo Yue grinned and waved lazily.

Li Changxing ran two steps towards him, only to realize that he was still holding the bow in his hand, and turned back to hand the bow to the soldiers, asking them to contact him, and then hurried to Zhuo Yue.

A year has passed, and the boy's figure has been completely outstretched, and he is now a head taller than Zhuo Yue.He has completely inherited the tall stature of the prairie people, but the extremely beautiful appearance and slender and graceful figure have the charm of the Central Plains. The roughness of the north and the softness of the south have been perfectly combined in him.

He slightly lowered his head to look at Zhuo Yue, and some strong emotions flashed in his eyes: "You're back?"

"Hmm." Zhuo Yue looked at him with a smile, "That arrow just now was so beautiful, why did you remember this trick?"

"I figured it out." Li Changxing stared at him closely. "Are you tired? I'll accompany you back to wash and tidy up."

Zhuo Yue looked at the silk target, and felt a little itchy in his heart: "I'm not tired. Hey, I also want to try it a little bit, I haven't tried this method—"

"It's the same whenever you try. You just came back, so go take a rest," Li Changxing paused, and added, "Vice General Zhuo."

Zhuo Yue saw through what he was thinking at a glance, secretly cursed "brat", and lazily agreed.

The two walked in the direction of Zhuo Yue's camp one after the other.At first, Li Changxing behaved well, like all the soldiers accompanying the officer, keeping a two-step distance from Excellence.

But gradually, his footsteps became a little unbearable, and he almost walked shoulder to shoulder with Zhuo Yue.

Zhuo Yue saw through his thoughts, held back his stomachache from laughing, and slowed down his pace on purpose.Along the way, they greeted each other, chatted and laughed, stopped and walked, strolled, and arrived in a while when Lu Shengsheng was taken out of a cup of tea by him.

With a respectful and peaceful smile on the corner of Li Changxing's mouth, he leaned slightly and approached Zhuo Yue.It just so happened that at this moment a general who was familiar with them was coming towards them, Zhuo Yue's eyes lit up and he was about to go up to greet him, but suddenly he felt a hand like iron tongs silently pinching his lower back.

"Brother Zhuo, it's almost done."

From a distance, Li Changxing leaned slightly and approached Zhuo Yue, reporting something to him softly, with a respectful gesture.

But only when you get close can you find out that although the eyes of the tall young man seem to be lowered politely, they are actually staring at a small piece of skin exposed on the back of Zhuo Yue's neck, and the eyes hidden by long eyelashes are shining with dangerous desire.And the corners of his mouth were still smiling, and he said dangerous words without moving his lips:

"If you go up and say something to him again, I'll strip you naked and put you on top of the tent in a while."

Zhuo Yue shuddered, and immediately said in embarrassment: "You fucking——"

Li Changxing rubbed his lower back affectionately, and straightened up with a smile: "Do what you say."

Although it was embarrassing to be threatened so nakedly, Zhuo Yue still didn't want to provoke him.This kid is indeed of the nature of doing what he says, if he doesn't do what he says, he will suffer - it's not like he hasn't suffered similar losses before.

The two fell silent, and at the same time quickened their pace and returned to Zhuo Yue's camp.There were two guards guarding the door. When Zhuo Yue pulled up the tent and went in, he heard Li Changxing wave the two of them back in a deep voice.

Zhuo Yue walked in, just as he raised his hand to take off his belt, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing behind him.He couldn't hold back his exclamation, but Li Changxing picked him up from behind and slapped him on the table in the tent. The sand table on the table was knocked into a mess in an instant, and the scrolls that had been built high fell down one after another. .

"You——you fucking." Zhuo Yue almost bled from being knocked out by him all of a sudden, "Take it easy! Are you a buffalo?"

Li Changxing leaned over and pressed him between himself and the table, pinched his waist with one hand, lifted his chin with the other, and kissed him down.

In the past year, he has grown a lot taller, his shoulders have also broadened, and he can cover Zhuo Yue in his arms airtightly.Judging by the normal standards of people from the Central Plains, Zhuo Yue was tall and tall, but at this moment, being hugged by Li Changxing seemed a bit cuddly.

"Hiss—be gentle!" Zhuo Yue cursed vaguely.Just kiss this kid, he even bit his lower lip and gnawed on it.

Li Changxing squeezed his resisting hand and pressed it on the table, and said with a soft smile, "You ran out for five or six days without telling me?"

"I was on a routine patrol!" Zhuo Yue protested, "Why did I run out by myself—"

Li Changxing didn't retreat an inch, and said with a chuckle, "Then why didn't you take me with you, and didn't say hello when you left, and you still brought Brother Xiaoga?"

"You, count yourself, which of these patrols did not take you!" Zhuo Yue said angrily, "There were several patrols by Guan Ximing and Zhang Laohei, but you snatched them all. This time If you find out, do you still have to follow? It’s also thanks to Guan Ximing and the others that they don’t care—”

Li Changxing tilted his head slightly, with a deep smile: "Yes, the patrol road is far away and the conditions are difficult, and others wish I could replace them. But why does Brother Xiaoga want to go with you so much?"

Zhuo Yue looked at him in disbelief: "...What the hell are you hinting at?"

As Li Changxing's height increased, so did his possessiveness and dominance.Now that he has grown up, although he still maintains the respect and humility that his subordinates should have when outside, once he enters this tent, the little wolf cub's fangs shine faster than anyone else.

Li Changxing looked down at him from above, his wolf-like eyes were gloomy and green, which made Zhuo Yue's heart tremble.He was about to protest angrily, but Li Changxing suddenly bent down and gave him a "click" kiss on the corner of his lips: "Brother Zhuo, have you missed me these two days?"

Zhuo Yue was already on the verge of a riot, but this kid snorted again, instantly "storming the spring rain", and replied a little embarrassedly: "... a bit."

Li Changxing's eyes lit up, and he kissed Zhuo Yue's neck: "I miss Brother Zhuo too... Let me see how much you miss me..."

Zhuo Yue suddenly grabbed the edge of the table, gasped slightly and closed his eyes.

----

The weather in midsummer was hot and dry, and the airtight tent was as stuffy as a furnace.

Zhuo Yue lay face up on the sand table.His entire back was covered with fine sand, and the sweat was still dripping down like rain, sticking to a piece of mud on his skin, which made him feel so uncomfortable.But he was really too lazy to move a finger.

However, Li Changxing was still sitting sideways beside him, playing with his wet hair nonchalantly, which made him very annoyed: "Can you stop touching me?"

Li Changxing raised his eyebrows: "That's not what you said just now."

"I...forget it." Zhuo Yue didn't even bother to move his lips.

Li Changxing also took off his upper body clothes, revealing his firm skin.I don't know if it's from the grasslands or the Central Plains, but even though he has been exposed to the rain and wind in the frontier for so long, his skin is still as white as suet, and it seems that he can't get tanned no matter what.

But that perfect skin was completely destroyed by a brand mark on his left shoulder.

The fire of the word "slave" burned deeply into the skin, turning the smooth milky white skin into an ugly and uneven tan.

But Li Changxing didn't care, he ran his fingers along Zhuo Yue's hair, and asked for a while, "Do you want to wash it?"

"Too lazy to move." Zhuo Yue closed his eyes, "Why is it so hot, go and open the curtain."

Li Changxing touched his long legs: "At least put on your clothes. You are still walking around, how do you lift the curtain?"

Zhuo Yue sighed, but was still paralyzed like a puddle of mud and didn't want to move.Li Changxing got up and took a clean muslin to wipe his body. Zhuo Yue lazily enjoyed his service with his eyes closed.

Li Changxing wiped and asked, "How is this patrol?"

"What else can I do?" Zhuo Yue sneered, "The Zhagan dogs in Yulin Pass are so huddled that they don't even show their heads. The city of Yulin Pass is solid and the terrain is steep. It was originally designed to prevent barbarians, but now we are It's hard to get bigger."

Since the victory in the night attack on Cangheng City last year, the Zhagan people retreated steadily, and retreated into Yulin Pass in April of the 27th year of Hongwu.Nearly five months have passed since April, and the Zhagan people have changed their fierce and domineering style before, staying behind closed doors and sticking to the fortress.

However, Yulin Pass is the largest pass in northern Xinjiang. The city defenses are built like cast iron, and a strong attack will definitely cause heavy damage.For the current plan, the Zhagan people can only be trapped in the city by siege, and their food and grass will be consumed little by little.

This plan looked good to others, but in Zhuo Yue's eyes, there was a major problem.

Because he knew the ending of Yulinguan World War I in his previous life.

Back then, the Central Plains Army also trapped the Zhagan people in Yulin Pass. At this time, the imperial court had decided to allocate grain and grass to the front line, so they did not have to worry about food and grass.Lou's army thought that they had the support of the capital in the rear, so they boldly besieged the city, and launched a general attack on the Zhagan army, which was at the end of its strength, on October 27, the [-]th year of Hongwu.

This seemed like a battle that was sure to win, but the whole army was wiped out.

It turned out that the grain and grass that had been shipped from the capital for thousands of miles was dropped by someone on the way, and the new grain became rotten.The new food went into the pockets of treacherous ministers, and the rotten food was given to the soldiers who guarded the frontier privately.Relying on this "civet cat for the prince", the treacherous ministers who played with conspiracy and power made a lot of money, but suffered a lot from the soldiers on the frontier. On the day of the general offensive, almost all the army fell ill due to dysentery.

In this battle in the previous life, nearly half of the [-] troops were lost.Lou's father died in battle, and his third son, Lou Chuiyun, fell into the rebellious army and was trampled to death by war horses. Lou Changfeng and Lou Wanli retreated to Zhuzitun in a hurry.

This battle was called "the robbery of Yulin Pass" by later generations.

The only thing I hate is that this tragic battle could not have been lost.

If it weren't for some people ignoring the blood, sweat and tears of millions of people, just to make a little money for the country.

Now the two lives have passed by, but Zhuo Yue still shudders whenever he thinks of the first battle back then.It was really Shura's hell. The Central Plains soldiers around them fell in pieces. They were powerless against the scimitars and sharp swords of the Zhagan people. Those who had enough strength were screaming and running away, and those who had no strength were caught up. His war horse was trampled into a meat paste.

Blood flowed like rivers, liver marrow ran wild.

Recalling this, Zhuo Yue, who was so hot that he was sweating all over, couldn't help shivering.

Li Changxing was keenly aware of his emotions, and stretched out his hand to pinch his palm: "Don't worry, haven't you already greeted General Lou?"

"Yes..." Zhuo Yue breathed out sullenly.

He has repeatedly asked Lou Changfeng to strictly check the quality of the grain and grass sent to the army, and he has Fu Wang as his eyeliner, presumably there should be no major problems with the grain and grass this time.

But Zhuo Yue couldn't help feeling uneasy.

After such a long time, he has learned not to rely too much on the memory of his previous life.Destiny is the most amusing thing. Sometimes you think you have escaped him, but he will attack you at the next intersection when you are the most unprepared.

This time, they are strictly guarding against the grain and grass, but who knows if something else will go wrong?

"Sometimes, it's useless to worry." Li Changxing kissed him on the shoulder, "Get up, I wiped it for you briefly, but it's still a bit sticky. Do you want to wash it?"

Zhuo Yue sat up absent-mindedly and put on his clothes: "I still have to fetch water, it's too troublesome."

"Isn't there a small river behind the camp, go there and wash up." Li Changxing persuaded, "Now is the time for practice, and there won't be too many people."

That small river is running water, flowing from north to south, passing Yulin Pass and passing through the tents of the Central Plains.Few in the army have the conditions to take a bath. Now that this river is nearby, many soldiers who love cleanliness like to come here to wash in the evening.

Zhuo Yue had no choice but to agree.

But when the two arrived, they saw that the streamside that was supposed to be empty was crowded with people.The soldiers were laughing and joking, splashing water and frolicking from time to time, so uncomfortable.

"Strange." Zhuo Yue walked over with sore steps, and cursed, "Who the hell let you mess around here? The person in charge—the surname Zhang! Why are you here! "

Taking a closer look, the person standing in the middle of the stream and dancing with a stick is the happiest, whoever it is, Zhang Laohei!

Since Zhuo Yue was promoted to the Chinese Army and became Lou Changfeng's deputy general, Li Changxing, Guan Ximing, Zhang Laohei and Xiao Ga were also transferred to the Chinese Army with him.A year later, Zhang Laohei and the other three were promoted to sentry officers, and Guan Ximing finally got rid of his position as a cook and became a long swordsman.

Except for Li Changxing, who wished to stick to him for twelve hours, the other brothers had the task of training and patrolling as sentry officers, and the chances of seeing each other were much less than when they lived in the same tent before. Yue hasn't seen Zhang Laohei for more than ten days.

"Zhang, come here!" Zhuo Yue yelled angrily, "If you don't train when it's time to train, why the hell are you letting monkeys go here?"

When the frolicking soldiers around saw him, they immediately put away their laughter and fell silent.Although they admired this prestigious general very much, they also respected him very much. Now when they saw Zhuo Yue getting angry, they were too frightened to take a breath.

But Zhang Laohei was not afraid, he jumped over a few bluestones carelessly and said in a loud voice: "I am training soldiers. Standing in the middle of the water to compare stick skills, to test the skill of the game, and to cool off the heat and dryness, how good it is." Ways. Don't you fucking point out here."

Zhuo Yue was at a loss for words.

Zhang Laohei suddenly raised his hand to beckon: "Xiao Ga is here too... Lao Zhuo is here!"

When Zhuo Yue turned around, he saw Xiao Ga coming from the upper reaches, he must have brought his soldiers here to practice.Zhang Laohei always liked to mess around, but Xiao Ga was very measured, Zhuo Yue immediately relaxed.

"Okay, then I know." Zhuo Yue waved his hand, and lazily began to take off his clothes to take a bath, "You guys are a bit slow, don't make trouble for too long."

Zhang Laohei responded carelessly, and went back to do his own business.But Xiao Ga stood there motionless, his eyes slid from Zhuo Yue to Li Changxing, and then back to Zhuo Yue.

"Brother Zhuo," he said slowly, "we have returned to the camp from patrolling, where have you been?"

Li Changxing raised his eyebrows, sneered and hugged his shoulders.Xiao Ga ignored him, and fixed her eyes on Zhuo Yue.

Zhuo Yue unbuttoned half of his buttons, and immediately became embarrassed when he heard this - where did he go?Of course I went to Wenrou Township.But how can you say this to Xiao Ga?

Li Changxing smiled slowly beside him: "Don't worry, Brother Ga, this is the army anyway, so you don't have to worry about the safety of Brother Zhuo in the camp."

A trace of anger flashed across Xiao Ga's face: "I'm not worried about his safety."

"What's that?" Li Changxing raised his eyebrows and looked at him. "Brother Ga, everyone is worried about Brother Zhuo. But if you stare at him so closely for twelve hours a day, he will get tired."

"Li Changxing, you—"

Zhuo Yue couldn't listen anymore, and said annoyedly: "Aren't you two fucking annoying, you are arguing, shut up."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Li Changxing warningly - this kid should be the one who was staring at him for twelve hours.

Li Changxing tilted his head and gave him a harmless smile.

Zhuo Yue turned around and went to wash by the river, but Xiao Ga didn't walk away, standing beside Li Changxing and whispered, "You know what I mean, don't pretend."

When they met, Li Changxing and Xiaoga, who were both teenagers, were about the same size.But in just one year, Li Changxing grew taller rapidly, but Xiaoga was still so thin and thin.Even though he was staring at Li Changxing aggressively at this time, it was difficult to make up for the weakness brought about by his height.

Li Changxing lazily hugged his shoulders, and glanced at him with a half-smile: "Little Brother, I still don't understand what you mean. Why don't you explain it clearly."

Xiao Ga clenched his fists tightly, as if there was something in his jaw, he couldn't vomit quickly but didn't know where to start.

At this time, Zhuo Yue, who was not far away by the stream, pulled off his belt and took off the single layer of clothes.He grew up in a military camp, surrounded by men, and he had no scruples about being naked in public.But at this time, when his clothes were gone, revealing the wheat-colored skin, the eyes of the two people standing by the shore who had been watching him tightened at the same time.

If you don't pay attention, you still can't see clearly, but if you look closely, you can find a deep red ambiguous imprint on the back of the graceful neck.

The author has something to say: Xiao Ga (furious): What are those on Brother Zhuo's back!

Da Zhuo (speechless): ...mosquito bites.

Li Changxing (smiling): Brother Zhuo, that mosquito is quite big.

I'm back!Thank you all for your blessings, I am so touched, I have received them all! !Taking wedding photos is exhausting, if you are not with someone you like, don't try it lightly... It's easy to go berserk.
