According to the original plan, they set a fire near the north exit, attracted the beards who surrounded them, and then rushed out from the northeast of the swamp.

Although there was a guide like Shen Ping who was familiar with the swamp, when Qin Yu and his team walked out of the swamp, there were still more than a dozen people missing, and most of them died under the attack of various poisons.

Chen Fan looked back at the swamp that seemed to be shrouded in veil under the twilight, because they still had to march a long distance, and those dead soldiers were buried in this swamp. But he gambled with his own life and rescued him.

Looking back, Chen Fan glanced at Qin Yu in front of him on the right again. The side effects of the herbal medicine had disappeared, but the blackness caused by the poisoning had not completely disappeared. From his perspective, Qin Yu's originally fair and healthy complexion , but now it is dark and black, and I don't know when it will disappear completely.

Chen Fan is not a person who doesn't know what to do. He thought about thanking Qin Yu, and by the way, he found an opportunity to make it clear. Since Qin Yu also knows that he has someone in his heart, then don't waste time on him.He didn't want to deny that when he knew that Qin Yu liked him, he felt joy for a moment, but it wasn't enough to make him forget Lin Qiu.

But since that day, Qin Yu has been keeping a distance from him, and his attitude is neither hot nor cold, which made Chen Fan unable to speak every time. Later, he even began to wonder whether he was hallucinating due to poisoning that day. I heard Qin Yu say that they are "lover".That's why he misunderstood that Qin Yu liked him. Looking at Qin Yu's appearance now, he really couldn't find any sign of liking him.

But now Chen Fan didn't have much time to worry about this problem. Although they escaped from the encirclement temporarily, it didn't mean they were safe.

Because the Hu people have to graze, they will change the place where they live every season. Even when Shen Ping and the others were horse bandits, they couldn't be sure where each tribe was. They could only make a rough estimate. There are always some tribes to be found.

Before setting off, Prince Liang Xi once said that if he entered the grassland, if he encountered a bearded tribe, he could beat them all, so as to ensure the safety of the team's route.

Qin Yu and the others have been in the army for many years. Of course they understand the importance of this order. They will kill all the small bearded tribes they meet on the road. If they find slaves captured from Liang Kingdom, they will be given horses and food, and let them go back by themselves. There are still long-distance marches and wars at any time. It is impossible to bring these thin slaves.

Most of the rescued slaves would listen to the advice and ride away with food, but a few slaves kept following them, crying and refusing to leave no matter how much they persuaded them.

For these people, most people can still understand. It is so difficult for them to get here. These slaves who are so thin that they can be blown away by a gust of wind are probably not as good as a child. He didn't even have the energy to escape.

Qin Yu thought about increasing the marching speed and throwing these slaves on the road, but many soldiers felt sorry for these slaves. With Chen Fan's acquiescence, they slowed down intentionally or unintentionally, so that these slaves always followed them.But within a few days, they got bad consequences for their actions.

Among the slaves who followed them, two of them had joined Huzi a long time ago. Although they were still slaves in the tribe, they became slave overseers because of Huzi's trust. They nodded and bowed to Huzi like dogs, Turning around to face the compatriots of Liangguo, he was domineering, constantly urging other slaves to work, and the whip was whipped harder than the beard.

They had heard some rumors before that the cavalry of Daliang State rushed to the grassland and slaughtered many tribes, so when Qin Yu and his team entered their tribe, they saw that they were wrong and immediately killed all the other slaves die, so as not to reveal that he has surrendered to the enemy, and then pretended to be weak and mixed with the slaves following the team, while walking, he marked his beard to track the prey, hoping to attract Beard to destroy the team in order to get the reward of Beard .

Fortunately, there were only less than 500 Huzi's vanguard troops. The soldiers of the raid battalion finally defeated these Beards, but they paid the price of more than 100 deaths and many people were injured. This is still from the establishment of the raid battalion to the present. The most casualties in the battle.

After the soldiers chopped off the last bearded head, many soldiers couldn't help crying bitterly when they saw the battlefield full of corpses.

Qin Yu's face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, so that Chen Fan didn't even have the courage to take a look. His face was pale. He was mainly responsible for the death of so many soldiers this time. If he hadn't tacitly allowed the soldiers to slow down Waiting for the few slaves behind, such a thing will not happen.

"Chen Fan." It was the first time Qin Yu directly called Chen Fan by name, and said, "Do you know where your biggest weakness is?"

Chen Fan's face turned even paler, but how could he not know that his own weakness is called sympathy for the weak at best, and self-righteous at worst.He always thought that he could protect the weak, but he never thought about whether he really had that ability, or if he would bring danger to those around him.

After hastily burying those former comrades-in-arms, the soldiers of the raid battalion embarked on the journey again. Except for the sound of horseshoes, no one in the whole team spoke, and their mood was like the gradually falling twilight.

It wasn't until it was completely dark that they found a place to camp. Because they couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly, they didn't dare to light a fire to cook, so they could only eat a few mouthfuls of wheat cakes with the water in the water bag.

After arranging the night watchmen, Chen Fan casually found a place to sit down, looking at the bright moon in the sky and lost in thought.

Because he learned martial arts since he was a child, and his martial arts master is a decent disciple, he often told him stories of chivalry in the rivers and lakes, hoeing the strong and helping the weak during his breaks. Those stories often made him feel excited, and even dreamed that he would grow up In order to be a famous hero in the rivers and lakes.It's a pity that he came from a noble family, and it was impossible for him to travel the rivers and lakes, so he had no choice but to give up his dream.

Later, when I got older, I heard some stories about General Lin Lian guarding the country and finally changed his goal. He wanted to become a general, a general who guarded the country like Lin Lian.

However, although the goal has changed, the childhood dream still remains in his heart. He always unconsciously plays a hero in life, with kind thoughts in his heart, helping the weak and the poor.It's not that these qualities are bad, but that if he really wants to be a general, he must be decisive.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared in his mind, the figure of a thin but strong child. No matter when and where, that child knows exactly what he wants, what he is doing, and what he should do in the future.For the person in his heart, that child is not moved by external objects, and only has his own goals in his eyes.

Chen Fan couldn't help secretly wryly smiling, he was still thinking about protecting that child, but he couldn't compare to that child at all, thinking of this, he sighed for his self-righteousness.

"Why sigh?" Someone next to him asked suddenly.

Surprised, Chen Fan turned his head to look, but Qin Yu was sitting next to him at some point.

"Are you thinking about someone you shouldn't be thinking about again?" Under the moonlight, Qin Yu raised his eyebrows.

Chen Fan turned his head and said, "What does it have to do with you?"

Qin Yu kept staring at Chen Fan, and said, "I heard that you were almost beaten to death by your father in order to go to Northern Xinjiang to practice, but is it true?"

Chen Fan frowned, and still said "um", this matter was widely spread in the capital, and there was nothing he could not admit.If Chen Jian hadn't rushed back from the palace after hearing the news, even if he wasn't beaten to death, his legs would probably have been broken.

Qin Yu laughed lightly and said, "Do you really want to be someone like General Lin Lian?" He didn't wait for Chen Fan to answer, and then said, "You know that General Lin Lian guarded the border for 27 years and returned to Beijing in total. How many times?"

Chen Fan was taken aback. Although he admired Lin Lian, he never checked how many times he went home.

"Thirteen times." After Qin Yu finished speaking, he explained: "I went back to Beijing thirteen times, but I only went home nine times. Four times, because of military emergency, I didn't have time to go home after returning to Beijing, so I rushed back again. Northern Xinjiang."

Chen Fan finally turned his head to look at Qin Yu, and said, "Why do you say this?"

Qin Yu smiled, and did not answer the question directly, but said, "Do you know who Qin Mutian trusts the most?" When he talked about Qin Mutian, he didn't have any respect at all, and even called him name.

Chen Fan shook his head, but his heart became more and more puzzled, why did Qin Yu suddenly say these things to him.

Qin Yu said: "The first one is the dead, because the dead will not betray him. The second is himself, because the only one who can protect himself is himself. The third is General Lin Lian."

Chen Fan was speechless for a moment. Although he disliked Qin Mutian, he never thought that Qin Mutian was such a top-notch person who ranked himself behind the dead. Could it be that he was still worried that he would betray him?But thinking about it again, a person like Qin Mutian might really sell himself out for profit.

Qin Yu went on to say: "One time, Qin Mutian and my uncle drank a few cups and talked about General Lin Lian. He said that the reason why he believed in General Lin was because he was selfless to the country. From this point, we can see the great general's heart, even if he offends the great general, the general will not deliberately retaliate against him, and as long as he does not do anything that endangers the Liang country, the general will not deal with him."

Chen Fan didn't speak.

Under the moonlight, Qin Yu stared into Chen Fan's eyes, and said word by word: "What about you? Can you be selfless?"

Chen Fan didn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, he said, "What about you? Do you have selfish intentions?"

Looking at Chen Fan's face, Qin Yu suddenly revealed a never-before-seen smile, just like epiphyllum blooming in the middle of the night. Although it was only for a moment, it carried a charming magic power. He said, "I have it."
