The seventh princess insists on letting me eat soft rice

The cold wind pierced the metal blade obliquely, making a sharp sound similar to buzzing.The sky was bright, the glaring sunlight reflected on the crystal snow, and the pure black vultures flitted across the sky from time to time, and there seemed to be a few traces of flesh and blood left on the beaks of the birds that had eaten the corpses.

More than half a month has passed since the night when he was attacked by hundreds of Su Ji.Lian Liejin had been awake for more than ten days, and her mask was left in the blood-stained snow that night, so she just took a white cloth and put it around her eyes.

"My son-in-law, Yan Qizhao asks to see you." Yan Qizhao's crackling voice came from outside the white tent, as if the ice and snow that night cracked his throat, but made his blood boil.

Hearing this, Lian Liejin tucked up the quilt for the sleepy woman on the bed, got up and got out of the tent, "What's the matter?"

"The deputy leader who was besieging the city on the east and west sides of Jinbei City asked Her Royal Highness whether the siege would continue. We are running out of food and grass, and all the soldiers are looking forward to launching the final general attack. Although we are small in number, we still Take the lead."

"Launch a general attack? Your worries are not unreasonable."

"That's right, your son-in-law defeated Ross in the last battle. According to reports from our scouts, there should be very few beasts left. We should go all out and finish the battle quickly." Yan Qizhao's eyes were shining brightly, like a radical The appearance of members.He stared at the girl in black and lacquered armor with an aloof and pure temperament in front of him, and continued:

"Of course, you still have to obey the orders of Her Royal Highness, I don't know the princess..."

"Your Highness is fine, but your body is still a little weak. Go and tell the soldiers. Your Highness will pay the bill later." But Lian Liejin knew that they could not count as winning. There were only 5000 troops in the first place. Five hundred, five hundred people died, and only 4000 people who could fight.

After pondering for a while, she waved her hand and said:

"Go and take out two hundred jars of spirits from our supply cart to warm up the soldiers, but don't drink too much. Soldiers who watch the night work harder, and we will reward you with two taels of mutton."

"Yes, the last general takes orders." Yan Qizhao knelt down on one knee and respectfully saluted Lian Liejin. Now they respected this son-in-law from the bottom of their hearts.On the battlefield, brave people deserve respect. "But that night, the power you used, son-in-law, we have never seen before. I wonder if you can enlighten me?"

"Go ahead, recharge your batteries, the final moment will come soon. Her Royal Highness will naturally lead us to a decisive battle." Lian Liejin's heart was faintly worried, but on the surface he was still calm, and I stood firm Unmoving and dusty.

Yan Qizhao saw that Lian Liejin didn't have any intention of being proud or showing off, and he was in awe in his heart.He has been guarding the border with Princess Shenwei all year round, but even at the border, they have heard a lot about the deeds of this son-in-law.According to the rumors, not only was the Seventh Son-in-law incapable of cultivating star power, but his temper was also very eccentric and cruel.

But after getting in touch with him, he found it weird to say that it was pure nonsense.The indifference is true. The indifference is not the alienation of rejecting people thousands of miles away, but indifference and indifference.

However, every time in front of the Seventh Princess, the son-in-law's casual and indifferent look would turn into an eagerness like spring wind turning into rain.

"What's the matter, is there something else?" Lian Liejin frowned slightly without hearing Yan Qizhao's departure.

"No, no. It's just that all the soldiers are very worried about Her Royal Highness. If something happens to Her Royal Highness, the general will worry that the army's morale will not be stable and there will be trouble."

"I see," Lian Liejin nodded solemnly, "Thank you Yan Langguan for your reminder, Your Royal Highness is blessed and will wake up soon."

With a smile on his lips, Yan Qizhao strode away from the main tent.Tuliulian Liejin stood alone in front of the tent, Beifeng lifted the broken hair on her forehead, her expression was sad and happy, looking back an inch of lovesickness, even though the two were still together.

The vastness of the world makes her look like a melancholy guest who has strayed into the world, and she has been heartbroken and weeping all her life.

Back in the tent again, Lian Liejin grilled off the cold air in front of the charcoal brazier.He waited for his hands to warm up before sitting on the edge of the bed again, and reached out to touch Gao Jingxi's forehead.

The tentacles were no longer hot, which made her relax a little.Because Gao Jingxi was pregnant, many medicines could not be taken casually, so she had a high fever, was weak, and fell asleep all the time.

"My son-in-law, it's time to change Her Royal Highness's medicine." Ah You came in with clear water, "You should go and eat something too. You haven't even had a sip of water since last night."

"It's okay, you go and make rice soup for His Highness, and give me the mortar." Lian Liejin's expression contained moist and silent tenderness, and slowly poured a bottle of pills into the wooden mortar for free, and pounded it The medicine pestle grinds up.

The delicate medicinal powder was rolled into shape, and a faint medicinal fragrance escaped from it, permeating the slightly empty tent.

She scooped up the medicine powder with a small silver spoon, and carefully applied it to the wound on Gao Jingxi's arm. The wound had not yet scabbed, and it had to be disinfected every other hour of the day to prevent infection.

Shallow wrinkles suddenly appeared on the warm bedding.

Lian Liejin seemed to have sensed something, she slowly raised her head, and reached out to touch Gao Jingxi's cheek, only to hear the slightly hoarse and soft voice of Seventh Princess, "Are you acting as a blind man making medicine for me?" ? Go to dinner soon.”

"Ah, did you hear what I said to Ah You?" Lian Liejin was a little stunned, and would only answer Gao Jingxi's words, "I'm not hungry yet, are you hungry? There will be rice soup in a while Now, do you want to drink, do you want to get something else..."

Gao Jingxi strenuously stroked Lian Liejin's hair, rubbing it back and forth like a kitten, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've lost weight again."

"You are the one whose wrists are so thin that you can only touch the bones." Lian Liejin's lips curved slightly, and he lowered his head to rub Gao Jingxi's palm, "You finally woke up."

"How could I be a deserter?" Gao Jingxi looked at Lian Liejin silently, rubbing the moist light in her eyes, and said softly, "I had a long dream."

"What dream?" Lian Liejin was startled by Gao Jingxi's inexplicably sad tone, and the action of applying the medicine was half a beat slow.

"I was walking on the street with bucket arches and eaves. In the busy city, lights and crowds were constantly flowing. Willow catkins rose like snow with the wind. There was a sparkling small river with many delicate lotus lanterns floating. I seem to be separated from you by water. Looking at each other," Gao Jingxi's voice was gentle and moving, and the soft water in her eyes became more and more abundant, like the brilliance of stars cut into pieces by time.

She closed her eyes and opened her red lips lightly, "I walked from daytime to winter night, and walked all the way into a palace carved with fine gold. There was no one in the palace, only the thin smoke curling from the bronze auspicious beast incense burner." The moonlight was hazy, like a pool of clear water sprinkled on a bluestone slab, like a piece of frost formed by condensation. Later—"

"I've been looking for you for a long time, but I can't find you."

"That river, isn't it the Suiyu River?"

"Well, thinking about it this way, it should be."

"Then what's the matter, didn't the two of us swim the Suiyu River too, next time we have a dream and swim again." Lian Liejin was still immersed in the joy of Gao Jingxi waking up, and his voice couldn't help but get louder.

"The water is so deep that you can touch it, but you can't go beyond it. It's like a mirror and a moon in the water. It's impossible to remember." Gao Jingxi's heart was heavy, and the wound was aching again, but he managed to pull himself together and smiled, "That night How is the battle going, are you not injured?"

"Hundreds of people were all beheaded, but our army also suffered heavy losses. They were all...brave," Lian Liejin looked a little downcast, "but a lot of people died, and we only had time to take down their identities." Iron bracelets, too late to take away their corpses. So these days, there are many more vultures."

Gao Jingxi slowly took off the white cloth that Lian Liejin covered her eyes, and saw the girl's nephrite-like skin, slightly pink, and a hazy mist in the golden eyes, and the delicate eyebrows seemed to be well-used. Drawn with lacquer and soft ink.

"Lie Jin, this is the battlefield. We have no time or opportunity to grieve for our dead comrades. When I give the order, I know that someone will die. Instead of indulging in mourning, it is better to stand up and resist. This is the decision to kill," Gao Jing Xi's face was pale, but his eyes were still shining, "In the end, when we attack the city, people will die at every step, and more people will die."

"You said, is it meaningful to die like that?"

"As long as there is a war, some people will not come back," Gao Jingxi took a deep breath before continuing:

"The dead may include you and me. In that case, do you think it makes sense?"

"I understand. However, this is the first time that I feel a little sad for someone who is not important." Lian Liejin's fingers subconsciously touched the white cloth on Gao Jingxi's hand, like light snow falling on a crane feather.

Hearing what Lian Liejin said, Gao Jingxi couldn't hold back a chuckle, and said with a pale face, pretending to be serious:

"It's a bit humane for you to talk like that."

"Your Highness, what nonsense are you talking about? It's simply slander," Lian Liejin muttered dissatisfiedly, "I'm already very friendly, okay? Don't you look at me and everyone in the princess mansion , how well we got along."

"Yes, yes, yes," Gao Jing Xi Yao smiled helplessly, not bothering to argue with Lian Liejin. The people in the princess's mansion have said behind her back more than once that she looks cold and difficult to communicate with.Let Lian Liejin immerse himself in this good feeling of emptiness.

At least Lian Liejin's indifference to others, she didn't show it on the surface, but she was very happy in her heart.

"Your Highness, my mask has fallen off, and it may be difficult to find." Lian Liejin leaned against Gao Jingxi with some trepidation.

"Then I won't look for it anymore, Gao Jingxi turned sideways gently so that Lian Liejin could lie on the bed, "What are you worried about?Or every summer in the future, the two of us will go to a place where there is no one, and we will return to Changyong when the maple leaves are completely red.If it doesn't work, we will go back generously, whoever dares to say a word, I will kill his whole family. "

"What if everyone in the world wants to kill me?"

"This palace will overthrow the world." Gao Jingxi hugged Lian Liejin tightly, repeating these words, like an eternal oath.

"Cough cough," Ayou stood at the door of the tent with the food, her face flushed from holding back, "...Your Highness, I didn't mean to cough, I just couldn't hold back."

"It's okay, it's time for me to wake up. By the way, how long has I been asleep?" Gao Jingxi tried to get up, but felt dizzy for a while.

"It's been more than ten days," Ayou hurriedly put down the food, "Your Highness, Ross sent an envoy, I wonder if he wants to ask for peace."
