his robbery

Chapter 103 The Art of War

Gu Chengxi knew that Huo Xiangzhen was not easy to obey, and once he was stubborn, he would be soft and hard, so he kept looking at him to guard against him, fearing that he would commit suicide or kill someone.

However, Huo Xiangzhen sat cross-legged without saying a word, just quietly staring at the scenery outside the window.With his hands on both knees, he is still a torii with his head held high.His chin was lifted slightly, and he was condescending, as if he could see the distance between mountains and rivers.

After a long time, he coughed, which hurt his heart and lungs, and woke Gu Chengxi up.Gu Chengxi suddenly realized the problem, and quickly got up to help him: "Straighten your leg, don't press the injury."

Huo Xiangzhen took advantage of the situation and turned sideways, and she stretched her legs long.Gu Chengxi didn't expect him to be so obedient, and immediately persuaded him while the iron was hot: "Lie down and rest, other things are for later, let's get back to the energy first."

Huo Xiangzhen didn't look at him, but he was indeed lying on his back.A collar of grass was rolled up to act as a pillow, he closed his eyes, and decided to listen to Gu Chengxi's words and raise his energy.

Even a doomed tragedy should have a decent ending.He has also been ambitious and fierce, and he can't just call the curtain with sweat and blood.

Gu Chengxi guarded the small mountain village where the headquarters is located as a fortress, and tightly sealed the news of Huo Xiangzhen.At noon, he asked the cooking class to kill a very tender little piglet and roast it for Huo Xiangzhen to eat.Huo Xiangzhen ate two big bowls of rice and half a piggy in silence, and finally put down his chopsticks to wipe his mouth, and said in a low voice, "It's too greasy."

Gu Chengxi was sitting opposite the kang table, he was almost taken aback when he heard what he said.When he digested that sentence clearly, he immediately looked at Huo Xiangzhen and smiled, rubbing his hands while inhaling while laughing, he looked like a silly boy who was not on stage.All the prestige of the whole body was thrown away in an instant, the other party was still Ping An, he was still Chengxi; Ping An was injured and sick, so Cheng Xi had to get some delicious food for Ping An.

There is no shortage of water in the mountains, especially in summer, there are plenty of deep and shallow creeks.Gu Chengxi sent the soldiers out to go fishing, so Huo Xiangzhen ate stewed fish and vegetables that night.

Across a kang table, Gu Chengxi was still sitting opposite him, one was ready to serve Huo Xiangzhen with food at any time, and the other was to take the opportunity to see more about how the other party was eating.At the end, he was surprised and secretly laughed, thinking that Ping An's stomach is a bottomless pit!

Huo Xiangzhen ate two big bowls of rice in a large sea bowl, without changing his expression.He has the physique of a warrior, with food in his stomach, his face also turns red.Thinking that he would not be able to ask for the third bowl, Gu Chengxi got up, went to sit behind him tentatively, and sat down, reaching out to touch his stomach: "Peace, don't eat this bowl, I'll give it to you at night Gadun supper, don't eat up your stomach."

Huo Xiangzhen ignored him, and soaked the leftovers in the bowl with fish soup.But Gu Chengxi boldly leaned forward, and quietly tilted his head to rest on the other's shoulder.After sleeping for a while, seeing that Huo Xiangzhen didn't respond, he raised his head, pouted, and blew lightly on the other's earlobe.Huo Xiangzhen was so itchy, and then she turned her face and reprimanded in a deep voice: "What nonsense? Let go, go back!"

Gu Chengxi really let go, and moved back with a smile.

When Huo Xiangzhen had eaten and drank enough, Gu Chengxi graciously brought in a basin—there was no bathtub, so he couldn't take a bath, so he could only deal with it and wipe himself off.The wooden lattice windows are closed, and two candles are lit in the room, which are red candles. Except for the clay lamp, there are only red candles here.

It was hot during the day, but in the evening there was a cool breeze, the wind was not too weak, and it whizzed across the ground, and a few strands passed through the window cracks, messing up the candles in the room.Gu Chengxi put the basin on the side of the kang, then walked up to Huo Xiangzhen and sat down.Raising his hands as a gesture, he suddenly lowered his head and sighed with a smile: "At the beginning, I was guilty of being a thief, but now that I have reformed myself, I am still guilty."

Huo Xiangzhen looked at him firmly: "Gu Chengxi, you are all in vain."

Gu Chengxi thought for a while, and understood the meaning of the word "in vain".After understanding, he still smiled: "It's useless, so it's useless. You know you can't win, but you retreat to the mountains and refuse to surrender. Aren't you working for nothing? Aren't you also working in vain?"

Raising his hands again, he undid the first button for Huo Xiangzhen: "I'll follow you. If you don't surrender, I won't either."

The thin white silk gown opened her arms, and Huo Xiangzhen pushed her chest up like a wall, so hard that there was no way to go: "Don't learn from me, I haven't done well in my life."

Gu Chengxi looked straight into his eyes, still smiling: "How old are you? How dare you talk about it for the rest of your life? People are all three poor and three rich, and they grow old. In Beijing, there are princes Belleira rickshaws. You are not better than them." Ten thousand times? They are also relatives of the emperor, and they were not inferior to you when they were born!"

Huo Xiangzhen raised his hand and tapped his temple, his voice was very soft: "I'm different from them, I have an elm head, and I will go all the way to the dark."

Gu Chengxi suddenly smiled and pursed his lips, his face was smiling and his eyes were crying.A little light flickered in his eyes like meteors chasing the moon, he took a deep breath slowly, and then asked: "Ping An, how long has it been since we talked so seriously?"

Then he turned his face away and said with a self-deprecating smile: "In front of you, I'm going to live like a dog. I'm so eager, I just want to coax you to show me a good face. Even if you don't want to talk to me, as long as you are genuine I am happy, and I am content."

Huo Xiangzhen didn't say anything, wishing that he was just talking nonsense.If it is all true, then it is even more true that this guy is a little crazy if he loves someone like this.

Getting up and taking off Huo Xiangzhen's shirt, Gu Chengxi twisted a towel and began to wipe the hot sweat on Huo Xiangzhen's chest and back.After sitting down halfway, he hugged Huo Xiangzhen from behind again.

Her slender arms wrapped around her naked and strong waist, and Huo Xiangzhen was just big enough for him to hug her.And Huo Xiangzhen turned his back to him unmoved, and said without warning: "You are not a good person."

Gu Chengxi raised his eyes to look at his ears. In the dim candlelight, his earlobes were covered with a layer of fine hair.

After a short pause, Huo Xiangzhen continued: "I can't understand you very much."

Gu Chengxi stared at his immature, boyish ears, and at the same time pressed his chest against his back, wanting to be intimate with him on his own initiative.

Huo Xiangzhen never looked back, her voice was hoarse and indifferent: "I'm not a good person either, my murder is too serious."

The flame of the candle jumped into his eyes, the flame was alive, but his eyes were dead: "Once you succeed, all bones will wither."

When he was talking, Gu Chengxi couldn't keep up with his train of thought; when he did, he fell silent again.But it's always good for him to talk, and it's always the truth.Gu Chengxi knew that he didn't like him - he had liked him before, when he mentioned that he was "my team leader".Face-to-face, he doesn't make much jokes; with a third person as the audience, he starts to make fun of "my leader".The one who enjoys the same treatment as him is Ma Congrong.

Huo Xiangzhen doesn't pay much attention to Ma Congrong alone, but to outsiders, he often jokes about the Secretary-General: "The Secretary-General is amazing today", "The Secretary-General is amazing today", "You can't tell the Secretary-General, the Secretary-General knows It's time to throw a tantrum."

Gu Chengxi hugged Huo Xiangzhen motionlessly, wanting to sit in his memories forever.

After dark, Gu Chengxi went out and splashed water, then went back to his room and lit a plate of mosquito coils on the floor.Huo Xiangzhen was already lying down on the mat, and it was obvious that she was wary of him.So he said in his heart: "Don't be afraid, I know you feel uncomfortable, I won't mess with you."

But before leaving, he knelt on the kang with one leg, leaned over and kissed Huo Xiangzhen on the face.Huo Xiangzhen opened his eyes and looked at him, his eyes were emotionless.

Gu Chengxi didn't dare to push his nose to his face, and retreated after kissing her.After sleeping next door for the night, he got off the kang in the early hours of the morning and sneaked into Huo Xiangzhen's room early.

Huo Xiangzhen was lying on her side, still sleeping.Gu Chengxi took off his shoes, raised his legs and sat at the end of the kang.Leaning against an adobe wall, he looked at Huo Xiangzhen one by one, just looking at it, like a painting, from head to toe.

An hour later, Huo Xiangzhen woke up.Seeing Gu Chengxi at the end of the kang, he didn't say anything.

He didn't say anything in the morning, and he didn't say anything during the day. He should eat and eat, he should take medicine, and occasionally he went for a walk. Gu Chengxi always suspected that he didn't know the pain, because after all, his calf had a flesh injury, although he couldn't move his tendons. Bone, but if the flesh is seriously injured, it can still hurt half of a person's life.

In the evening, Huo Xiangzhen walked out of the adobe house without saying a word, and saw the heavily armed guards nearby, and also saw a small soldier squatting not far away to wash potatoes.After the potatoes are washed, they need to scrape down the skin with a knife.The little soldier scraped the potato skin very skillfully, and it looked like a skill.

Huo Xiangzhen stopped, watching the little soldier busy, and only turned around and went back to the house when the little soldier walked away with a pot of white potatoes.

He had just walked to the kang when Gu Chengxi also entered the door.Huo Xiangzhen didn't speak for a whole day, Gu Chengxi wanted to tease him cheekily.With a yell, he jumped forward, and threw himself on Huo Xiangzhen's back.Unexpectedly, Huo Xiangzhen suddenly grabbed his skirt sideways, bent over and threw him over his shoulder, directly throwing him onto the kang on his back!

Gu Chengxi moaned wildly, but his heart was excited and joyful, and the blood flow all over his body was itchy and crisp.He has desires for Huo Xiangzhen, and if his desires are not satisfied, a hand-to-hand fight is fine.As soon as he turned over and jumped off the kang, he hugged Huo Xiangzhen and tripped him. If he wanted to trip him so that his footing was unstable, he had better fall into his arms.Unexpectedly, Huo Xiangzhen stopped like a rock, picked him up by the waist and threw him onto the kang.Gu Chengxi's butt landed first this time, and it hit the tailbone firmly. He knelt up and covered his butt in pain: "Oh! Fuck!"

Huo Xiangzhen turned around and sat on the edge of the kang, muttering in a low voice: "Practice with me?"

Gu Chengxi survived the pain on the tailbone, feeling very upset in his heart, and at the same time knew the effect of Ping An's two big bowls of dry rice.He couldn't control this kind of peace, and it would be difficult to tie it up again with a rope.Crawling to Huo Xiangzhen's side on all fours, he put his head into the other's arms.The side face was pressed against Huo Xiangzhen's chest, and he could hear the beating of his heart.

Huo Xiangzhen stretched out his hand to push him, pushing more and more, refusing to leave, not only the majesty of the army commander was long gone, but even his own age has regressed a lot.Huo Xiangzhen scolded him and pushed him to no avail.In the end, Huo Xiangzhen got up and wanted to go out, but Gu Chengxi pounced on Huo Xiangzhen's back.His arms wrapped around Huo Xiangzhen's neck, and his legs wrapped around Huo Xiangzhen's waist.The chest was tightly attached to the opponent's back, Gu Chengxi gritted his teeth and smiled: "Let's go? Let's see how you go!"

Huo Xiangzhen first pulled Gu Chengxi's arm, but he couldn't pull it apart; then he went to break Gu Chengxi's legs, Gu Chengxi exerted all his strength, but he still couldn't break it apart.Huo Xiangzhen wanted to take him to bump into the wall, the walls of the adobe house had very limited hardness.Turning around in a circle, Huo Xiangzhen found that Gu Chengxi's shameless play was actually effective, and really entangled himself.

"Come down!" He asked sideways, "How can you behave like this?"

Gu Chengxi smiled and said, "Let me lie beside you for a while, and I'll come down."

Huo Xiangzhen was silent for a moment, and then walked towards the cold kang in front of her without comment.

Huo Xiangzhen was half lying and half sitting leaning against the wall, while Gu Chengxi was lying across his lap as a pillow.Pulling Huo Xiangzhen's hand to his eyes, he fiddled with it while talking leisurely.When he brought up the past, he was heartless and could always laugh: "At that time, the more I thought about it, the sadder I became. I didn't eat for a day, so I just lay on the bed and cried." He closed his eyes and wanted to set an example for Huo Xiangzhen: " I didn’t cry out, the pain was so painful that I didn’t have any strength at all, I couldn’t cry, just shed tears, I don’t know why there were so many tears, one side of the pillow was wet.”

Then he opened his eyes and continued to look at Huo Xiangzhen's palm prints: "I don't blame you for anything else, I only blame you for not looking at me when you killed me."

Opening a slap, he compared the palm prints of the two people, and said, "I still hate it when I think about it now, how can I not look at it?"

Huo Xiangzhen asked him to read his palm: "It's the same if you read it, you have to shoot."

"Seeing is watching, shooting is shooting. Seeing is a matter of heart, shooting is a matter of hand, it's different."

Huo Xiangzhen was silent for a while, and finally said: "I don't have you in my heart."

Gu Chengxi looked up at him, actually a little sad, but still able to resist: "Who is in your heart?"

Huo Xiangzhen turned her head to look out of the window again, and at the same time replied in a low voice: "There is no one else."

Immediately he smiled: "Death and escape, everyone lives in peace, it has nothing to do with me."

Gu Chengxi repeated the old tune of observing words and expressions: "Stop fighting, okay?"

Huo Xiangzhen didn't speak.

Gu Chengxi put his hand to his lips and kissed again and again.At the end of the kiss, he covered his eyes with this hand, and smiled ashamedly: "I can't do anything about you. Don't be afraid to scare you, and don't listen to coax you. It's fine if I don't like you, But whether you like it or not, people can’t decide for themselves.”

He pointed down: "See? There are two things that people can't control. One is the heart and the other is lust."

Huo Xiangzhen saw that he had set up a tent in his crotch, but he still had nothing to say.

Gu Chengxi smiled helplessly: "It's not that I'm nasty, I don't treat others like this, even if I treat you—I don't know what's going on, I can't do it as soon as I smell you."

He continued to kiss Huo Xiangzhen's hand: "You are a good man, I like you. If you don't like me, I like you too."

He and Huo Xiangzhen clasped fingers and shook hands, smiling and feeling: "That's great."

Gu Chengxi lay there for a long time with the tent up, and then left the house with the tent up again.The future is long, don't worry about the moment.Ping An obviously didn't mean that, and if he was the overlord, he might make another revenge.

He left, and Huo Xiangzhen also lay down.His skin and flesh healed quickly, and a circle of blood scabs had formed on his calf. Because he had eaten enough and rested well in the past two days, he also felt healthy.Just now he practiced with Gu Chengxi, and he tested his own strength.

He closed his eyes and turned over. He slept all night without even having a dream.In the early morning of the next day, he walked back and forth outside the door after washing.The little soldier washed potatoes not far away again. Today he washed a lot, and the big iron basin was full.Huo Xiangzhen had never eaten potatoes, so he thought it was probably a soldier's dish.Washing the mud first, then scraping the skin, Xiao Bing was so busy that he didn't even lift his head.He held a short knife that didn't fit well. The blade must be very sharp, because scraping the skin is like scraping mud.

Huo Xiangzhen had no expression on her face, and slowly started to walk in the direction of Xiaobing.Gu Chengxi went out and quickly followed him: "Ping An, what's there to see here?"

Huo Xiangzhen stopped beside Xiaobing, secretly clenched his hands into fists with his lowered hands, took advantage of the momentum, and moved his joints.

Gu Chengxi stretched out his hand to tug at him: "Have you taken your morning medicine? Let's go back to the house and eat first. After eating, take medicine."

At the same time as his words fell, Huo Xiangzhen suddenly bent down and snatched the short knife from Xiaobing's hand, and then strangled Gu Chengxi's neck with his arms.Gu Chengxi turned around involuntarily, and when he woke up instantly, he had already turned his back to Huo Xiangzhen and raised his head, the side of his neck was icy cold, it was the drenched blade of a dagger.

He didn't dare to turn his head to look at Huo Xiangzhen, but felt his neck was cold, his blood was cold, and his heart was also cold - what is this thing!How can it be too warm or not cooked?

There were exclamations from all around, and the soldiers pointed their guns at Huo Xiangzhen in unison.Huo Xiangzhen was unmoved, and only said: "Gu Chengxi, I won't kill you, I just want you to accompany me up the mountain. After going up the mountain, I will let you go."

His hand was very steady, and the blade slanted against Gu Chengxi's skin, making it absolutely motionless.His breath warmed Gu Chengxi's scalp, and Gu Chengxi heard him say another sentence in a very low voice: "I want to finish this battle."

Gu Chengxi is a hero who doesn't suffer from immediate losses, and immediately tilted his head and said, "Okay, okay, I'll let you go."

Huo Xiangzhen started to lead him back: "Call Li Tianbao out!"

Gu Chengxi immediately shouted at the front again: "Go and call that Lieutenant Li, hurry up!"

In the blink of an eye, someone escorted Adjutant Li out.The hemp rope that tied his hands behind his back was untied. Lieutenant Li looked at the situation in front of him, and immediately made a judgment in his heart. He ran behind Huo Xiangzhen in a few strides: "Commander, what should we do?"

Huo Xiangzhen and Lieutenant Li really had nothing to say, so they gave the order concisely: "Look behind me, don't let people sneak attack me!"

Lieutenant Li can definitely complete this task. He quietly reached out and grabbed the corner of Huo Xiangzhen's clothes, and he began to look around vigilantly.

When Huo Xiangzhen was on the way here back then, she had paid attention to the route half-consciously.The village is not far from the forest, and the forest is not far from the defense line of the Zhi-Shandong Allied Forces.The distance is not a problem, the terrible thing is that it is difficult to walk, riding a donkey or horse is barely possible, but there is no way to do it with a donkey cart and a carriage.

Huo Xiangzhen didn't dare to linger on Gu Jun's territory, so she simply forced Gu Chengxi and herself to walk back into the woods.Gu Chengxi knew that he was extremely ruthless on the battlefield, so he followed him obediently, and his soldiers followed him from a distance, not daring to act rashly.Huo Xiangzhen's arm seemed to be made of iron, and it never loosened his neck; he also wanted to find an opening to fight back, but the blade was attached to the large blood vessel on the side of his neck, which made him just think about it and dare not take it seriously.

A group of people dragged along and walked straight for a long time.The trees were getting thinner and thinner. Lieutenant Li suddenly screamed and waved desperately to the front: "Captain Wang! Come on, the commander is back!"

Someone agreed in the distance, and it was an officer leading a group of soldiers to run down a slope.It wasn't until they reached the edge of the forest that Huo Xiangzhen let go of Gu Chengxi slowly.

Gu Chengxi covered his neck and turned back, and said softly, "Ping An, this time you are the one who is sorry for me."

Huo Xiangzhen's voice was also very soft: "Soldiers never tire of deceit."

Gu Chengxi smiled wryly: "I will treat you with sincerity, but you will treat me with the art of war."

Huo Xiangzhen looked into his eyes, and at the same time, his voice became soft: "I'm sorry."

Hearing these two words, Gu Chengxi panicked for no reason, as if he was about to die, and his words were good, because Huo Xiangzhen had never been soft on himself.

"I don't need your apology." He moved a few steps to the side, trying to avoid the eyes and ears of others: "I just want you to promise me two things."

Huo Xiangzhen followed him and nodded calmly: "Say it."

Gu Chengxi raised a finger: "First, don't commit suicide. If you should run away, run away, if you should surrender, then surrender, suicide is not allowed, do you agree?"

Huo Xiangzhen smiled, and suddenly looked a little tired: "What about the second one?"

Gu Chengxi said: "I reckon that I must be involved in this battle. Guns have no eyes, if I die here, you have to take care of my funeral and send me back to my hometown for a grand funeral. Don't send me away with earthen buns, I want a big garden with monuments and trees, and every year during the Qingming Festival, you have to visit me in person. Do you agree?"

Huo Xiangzhen put her hands behind her back, and looked down at the scattered wildflowers on the ground: "Okay, I agree."

Gu Chengxi took another deep look at him, then turned around and started on the way, walking all the way without looking back - he is not dead, even if anyone dies, he will not die!Even if he died, he would still cling to Huo Xiangzhen and let him deliver it to his door once a year for him to see!Innocent things, I love him with all my heart, and he also gives me a knife!

Gu Chengxi hoped that the government would launch a general attack as soon as possible, otherwise he would have no memory, and after a long time, his anger would dissipate, and he would be reluctant to clean up the situation again!
