The Bamboo Horse Dressed as the Emperor

Pursing the corners of their mouths and sticking them lightly, like a superficial touch, is already the most outrageous thing two teenagers can do.

Song Jiao propped up his hands and leaned on the bed, Xie Chen leaned in front of him, the two looked into each other's eyes, just like this, they could turn red.

Song Jiao pushed Xie Chen: "Can you get up? I'm a little tired."

"Okay." Xie Chen responded, and got up just like that.

They are so innocent that they cannot be more innocent.

This is true of Song Jiao who is always shy and blushing, and the same is true of Xie Chen who is always shameless calling his wife.

Xie Chen picked up a handkerchief from the copper basin, wrung it dry, covered Song Jiao's face, and wiped his face.

Song Jiao tried to struggle: "It hurts..."

Xie Chen took a handkerchief and wiped it for a while before letting go: "Okay, go to sleep."

Song Jiao kicked him in dissatisfaction, turned around and climbed off the small couch, and went to bed: "Who did you tell 'get lost'? I'll tell Grandpa Xie when I get back."

It's still suitable for them to be so noisy.

The two of them thought at the same time in their hearts that it was too abnormal to look at each other like that and kiss like that just now. It should be because they have been separated for a long time and everyone drank some wine that made it so weird.

But... the two of them thought at the same time——

Mao Mao's mouth is so soft, I can eat clouds.

Brother Shen's mouth is a little cold, like a popsicle, he won't be frozen, right?

It's strange, it seems that something grows taller in my heart.

Song Jiao covered her heart, sat down on the bed, pulled the heavy quilt over, and wrapped herself up.

Xie Chen watched him cover the quilt, then turned around, took off the helmet on his head, removed the armor, washed his face with Song Jiao's remaining hot water, and wiped his hands and feet.

In the end, each of them was wrapped in a quilt, like two round snowballs, sitting on the bed and talking like this.

Song Jiao has been here for a day, but he is very busy, busy with disaster relief, busy with starting classes, and has never had a serious conversation with Xie Chen.

Until now.

The candlelight was faint, and there were dots of fire in the charcoal basin. Occasionally, candle flowers would explode, or the charcoal would burst, making a rapid "pop" sound, which scared Song Jiao into a fright.

Xie Chen asked, "Are your grandfather and my grandfather okay?"

"Yeah." Song Jiao nodded, "He's in excellent health. Your grandfather can eat two pork knuckles for a meal. My grandfather is a little bit worse and can only eat one."

"Where are the parents?"

"They're all very good. Godfather can eat two. Godmother doesn't like pork knuckles. She likes duck in sauce. She can eat a whole one in one meal."

As they talked, both of them laughed.

Xie Chen turned his head and glanced at him: "What about you?"

"I don't like to eat either." Song Jiao thought for a while and said with a smile, "I like to eat Wangwang Snow Cake."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and soon, one raised his head and the other lowered his eyes, avoiding the other's gaze.

They thought of the kiss that wasn't a kiss just now, and they all had a hunch that if they continued to look at each other like this, they couldn't help but do something that made the parents stamp their feet in a hurry.

Xie Chen thought, he should have done some things while his parents were away, but now he retreated.

Song Jiao suddenly remembered that he blocked the system during the day, and felt a little guilty.

The two men even had the same amount of silence.

After a while, Xie Chen said again: "I heard they said that someone came to help the disaster. I thought it was someone else. If I knew it was you, I would clean up and wait for you in the city."

Song Jiao asked, "Did you go out on patrol this morning?"

"Well, according to the wheel, I will be rotated every three days, and I will be with Brother Parrot and the others." Xie Chen said proudly, "With a few more military achievements, I can be promoted to be a commander, which is not too high a position. , and can be upgraded in the future.”

"Brother Parrot and the others must be very happy. If they don't obey other people's discipline, they will obey you."

"That's natural." Xie Chen thought for a while, and then asked, "Did you enter Taixue a few days ago?"

"Yes."

"Tai Xue wants to wear green clothes, I have never seen you in green clothes."

Song Jiao corrected him: "It's Qingyishang, Qingqing Zijin."

"Oh, then when I go back during the New Year's Eve, I'll wear it and have a look."

"I didn't wear it for you to see, you have no vision."

"I don't have eyesight? I just—" Xie Chen turned to look at him, shook off the quilt wrapped around him, grabbed Song Jiao, and wrapped him in his quilt, "I fell in love with him at a glance My wife, I have good eyesight."

"You just don't see."

The two of them gradually moved from two quilts to one quilt, like small animals huddling together to keep warm in winter nights.

A little gray wolf, a little white rabbit, and the little white rabbit resting on the belly of the little gray wolf, the two little things do nothing, even forgetting the nature of carnivorous animals, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, just sticking to each other Keeping warm, talking one after another.

The next morning, the sun shone through the window paper and shone on Song Jiao's face.

He stretched himself, and vaguely heard the shouts of soldiers practicing from outside.

Song Jiao rubbed his eyes, touched his side, and pushed Xie Chen: "Don't you need to go out to practice?"

Xie Chen folded his hands: "Thanks to you, General Liu said that I will be responsible for following you these few days, and I don't need to practice with them."

"Really?" Song Jiao was confused, hugged him with his backhand, and said again, "Then I order you, go out and join them now."

Xie Chen squeezed his wrist, and raised his hand on his body, Xie Chen frantically hinted: "I'm really leaving."

"Yeah, let's go." Song Jiao covered his head with a blanket, "I sleep alone in the big bed."

Suddenly, a heavy horn sounded from outside, covering up the sound of the drill.

Xie Chen sat up suddenly as if he had received some signal, and pressed Song Jiao: "Don't come out."

He got up quickly, got off the bed, put on his armor, and picked up his long knife, bow and arrow.

All the movements were done in one go, but after a while, he dressed neatly and walked out of the room.

Song Jiao followed closely behind, washed up casually, put on his clothes, and followed out.

The dull sound of the horn has not stopped, the whole city of Pipazhou is under martial law, and the gates of the city are closed.The soldiers picked up their weapons and stuck to their respective territories according to the previous deployment.

General Liu had already brought several lieutenants to the city gate. In front of the city gate, there was a group of foreigners with different clothes and disheveled hair.

They are nomads living in the valley.

There are several nomadic groups in the north of Qi State, ranging in size from large to small, but they all live in no fixed place.For Qi, the northernmost Pipa Island is the southernmost and warmest place for them.

Every year they come to spend the winter near Pipazhou. If the winter is too cold and too long, and their food reserves are insufficient, they will wait for the opportunity and send a few cavalry to the city of Qi to grab some food back.

The people of Qi State have not all moved out of Pipazhou, which is the most serious situation.Later, Prime Minister Song took the case and made a decision to completely turn Pipazhou into a military garrison, and this situation was eased.

It may be that this year's winter is too long, and they can't hold back anymore.

Song Jiao and Xie Chen boarded the tower together, and General Liu saw them: "Why is your highness coming up? It's dangerous here, go back quickly. Brother Shen, escort your highness back."

Song Jiao glanced at the tower, and soon understood, and asked, "Are they here to seek justice for the team that brother Shen killed yesterday?"

General Liu frowned: "Your Highness, did you hear what they said just now?"

"No." Song Jiao shook his head, then touched his earlobe, "The ears that Brother Shen and the others cut off yesterday, and the ears of this group of people now."

Only then did General Liu realize that this group of nomads all had their ears pierced and wore agate earrings, which were the same.

"His Royal Highness observes subtleties."

Xie Chen said coldly: "How are they going to seek justice? We didn't seek justice with them when they killed the people of our country of Qi."

General Liu sighed: "Their logic is like this, how many years."

Under the city tower, there are nearly a thousand aliens dressed in fox fur and mink fur with pigtails, each holding a weapon.

General Liu raised his hand slightly, and all the soldiers on the tower stood ready.

General Liu said to Song Jiao: "Your Highness, go back quickly, there will be a war soon. But it's not too bad. Our stone city is easy to defend and difficult to attack. They grew up on the grassland, and they can't even climb, let alone climb. Siege the city, fight for a while and go back."

He turned to look at Xie Chen: "Send your highness back."

As soon as General Liu finished speaking, he turned his head and looked down the tower, only to see that the group of aliens below had carried out the ladder and rolled out a four-wheeled wooden cart with a big tree stump hugged by two people.

General Liu hissed, and said in a low voice, "It shouldn't be. There are no such big trees on the grassland. Where did they get them? They even have ladders. This is clearly a tactic used by the people of the Central Plains to attack the city." ,them……"

Song Jiao and Xie Chen who were about to leave also turned their heads.

Xie Shen suddenly felt bad: "This battle is difficult to fight, do they have someone from the Central Plains to give advice?"

General Liu said: "The people who were sent to patrol earlier didn't say what people from the Central Plains came to the grassland."

Then, the aliens below rolled out a four-wheeled cart with people.

The car was covered with a tent, and someone was sitting in it.

General Liu said: "It seems that this is the person."

With his hands on the tower, he leaned forward, trying to see who that person was.

But the curtain covered it, and he couldn't see it.

The strangers pushing the cart were about to reach out to lift the curtain, when the people inside saw something and suddenly pressed the curtain tightly.

General Liu frowned and asked doubtfully, "Could it be that we know each other?"

At this time, the people sitting in the car seemed to say something to the people outside, and several foreigners pushed the car back.

General Liu still frowned: "It's weird, who is it?"

The next moment, the shouts of the aliens below brought General Liu back to his senses.

He drew his knife out of its sheath and said sharply, "Fire the arrow!"

Thousands of arrows were fired from the city tower, temporarily blocking the enemy's advance.

But soon, the people behind took out their shields under the cover of the people in front, and slowly approached the tower under the cover of the shields.

General Liu scolded: "Damn it, it's all from the Central Plains."

He immediately ordered the lieutenant general: "Send an order, prepare boulders, burn boiling oil, come and smash one by one."

"Yes." The lieutenant ordered to go on.

But Xie Chen suddenly said: "General Liu, it would be too wasteful to burn boiling oil, and it happens that it's almost time for dinner, why not burn some food."

"Ah? You still want to give them something to eat? We don't have enough for ourselves, brother Shen, don't come up with any ideas."

Song Jiao was the first to understand what he meant: "I understand, General Liu, listen to brother Shen, let the cooks come over and cook."
