crime of heart

When Ji Ning woke up the next day, his chest was still throbbing with pain.He knew that this was the sequelae of yesterday, and he didn't pay too much attention to it. ,

"General, are you awake?" Tatsuno's voice came from outside the door, "We are leaving."

"Come in. I'm up now."

"Yes, General." Long Ye pushed open the door and walked in.Seeing Ji Ning's appearance, he was obviously taken aback, "What's wrong with you? You look so ugly, General Ji, are you sick?"

"I was not careful when I practiced the exercises yesterday, and I became obsessed. It's okay, I have already adjusted my breath."

Crazy?Tatsuno was taken aback.He knew that Ji Ning hadn't cultivated any new internal skills recently, so how could he have gone mad?What's more, judging by his appearance, it was obvious that he had suffered serious internal injuries.

But Tatsuno could also see that Ji Ning didn't want to talk about it.He also kept a lot of doubts in his heart. ,

"General, today I have to prepare for the matter that His Majesty said earlier. But you have just suffered internal injuries, can your body take it?"

"What's the matter? On the battlefield, which general has never been wounded and marched? If there is something wrong, just moan and chirp, and the battle will be over!" "But if this internal injury is not properly recuperated, it will leave the root of the disease."

"You still need to teach me? I know how to be careful. Tatsuno, I have a sense of propriety—why do you worry so much, don't you think I'm a cute lady?"

"My subordinates dare not."

Ji Ning scolded a few words with a smile, but he also knew that Tatsuno was worried about him.He patted Tatsuno on the shoulder, then turned to look at Bai Qingyan. ,

It was only morning at this moment, and Bai Qingyan was still curled up under the quilt.He closed his eyes, breathing heavily, and seemed to be still asleep.Seeing him like this, Ji Ning's expression became much softer, and his voice lowered. ,

"Let's go out and talk, don't disturb him to sleep." "Yes, General."

Tatsuno agreed and walked out first.Ji Ning tucked up the quilt for Bai Qingyan again, and patted his cheek with a big hand reluctantly before he followed up.

Ji Ning closed the car door tightly, and the car became quiet, only Bai Qingyan's long breathing could be heard. ,

When the footsteps of the two could not be heard at all, the rhythm of Bai Qingyan's breathing changed.Then he sat up and touched his cheek solemnly.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Qingyan stood up and looked around the car.The layout of the car didn't change much, but there was one thing that suddenly attracted his attention, making his eyes stick to it, and he couldn't move it away. ,

He recognized at a glance that it was the pineapple box that Ji Ning carried with him back then.It's really strange, Bai Qingyan had never seen it in this car before.But at the moment, it just sits on the table.

Bai Qingyan picked up the pineapple wooden box.Then lift the lid.There are several brocade bags inside, and the materials are all high-quality silk and satin.When Bai Qingyan saw this, she was a little disappointed—this kind of high-quality satin and brocade bags are mostly used to store pearls, emeralds and gemstones.And these things were not what he was looking for. , He took out all three brocade bags, placed them in front of his eyes, and opened them one by one. ,

In the first brocade bag is a wine pot in the shape of Yuyao.When Bai Qingyan was young, this kind of jug could be seen everywhere in Yuyao Palace, it was not expensive, and its appearance was very ordinary.

With just one glance, Bai Qingyan felt as if he had been punched hard in the heart. On the Red Oriole Festival, he used this jug to smuggle a jug of wine out of the palace to find Ji Ning!

When I touched it with my fingers, I could feel a little rough mesh gap on the surface of the porcelain that was supposed to be warm.Look carefully, it turns out that the surface of the jug is full of cracks.From the looks of it, the jug was smashed to pieces for some reason, and then picked up again, sticking back bit by bit.When it was broken, I think the man was very angry and smashed every piece thoroughly; but he was also very careful when sticking it, and not a single piece was missed. ,

Bai Qingyan pursed her lips, gently placed the jug beside her, and opened the second brocade bag. ,

It was a cut-off sword.To be precise, it was the tip of a sword. ,

Although it was broken, there was still a sharp glow on it, showing what kind of magical weapon it was once. ,

Bai Qingyan held it in her palm and stared blankly.His eyes were almost fixed on it, with a bewildered expression, and he couldn't move his eyes away. ,

This is his sword, the magical weapon he has never left since he was a teenager, and his pride and honor as the guardian of Yuyao. Qian Yuyao's warriors had all died in battle, and Lang Ye's army of millions was in front of him, yet he still didn't feel a trace of fear or flinch. ,

Just because he still has his sword in his hand. ,

This sword is his martial spirit, and his other pride. ,

In Bai Qingyan's mind, this sword is himself. ,

In front of the city gate, when his sword broke, he thought he would die in battle, but he didn't.But when he woke up in the cage, his body was covered with wounds, his tendons were damaged, and he could no longer raise his sword to protect himself, he knew that although he hadn't died yet, Bai Qing, the "War God of Yuyao",

Yan is dead.

That day, Ji Ning threw the broken sword on him in the snow, and let him face the wolves and death alone.He didn't resent Ji Ning at all.On the contrary, he is grateful to him. ,

Even if the magic weapon is broken, at least, it is the last bit of dignity that Ji Ning gave him.At least, he could die as a soldier, instead of lingering on as a slave on Cheng Huan's couch.

As for the sharpness of the broken sword tip, he no longer fantasized about it.Yuyao is dead, and all the tea is gone. As a warrior, he has suffered the greatest failure and shame in his life. There are tens of thousands of corpses in front of the city gate on the decisive battle day. Even he himself does not know where the half of the sword tip is broken. In flesh and blood. ,

One by one, Ji Ning, how did he find it?

__Among the tens of thousands of corpses, on the bloody battlefield, how did he find it, wipe off the blood, and re-sharpen the blade of the curling blade.Then carefully put it away in a brocade bag, and then solemnly put it in a pineapple wooden box

Bai Qingyan's eyes lingered on the tip of the sword for a long time.Reluctant to let it go, he held the tip of the sword in his palm, took a deep breath, and opened the last small brocade.

A pile of woody residue fell out.Although it was dry and broken, Bai Qingyan recognized it at a glance, it was a pine cone.There are also old brown traces on it—that's Ji Ning's blood. ,

Bai Qingyan felt a tingling pain in her palm.It was he who subconsciously held it too tightly, and the blade cut through his palm.But he didn't bother to look at it at all.He could only stare at the pine cone, letting tears well up from his eyes, blurring his vision a little bit. ,

"It turns out I'm not the only one who remembers."

One by one, I'm not the only one who cares. }

Chapter 108. If Bai Qingyan finds out, what will happen to him?Ji Ning didn't even dare to think about it.

"Ji Ning"

Bai Qingyan's tears couldn't help rolling down.There seemed to be a fire burning in his heart.Bai Qingyan couldn't wait any longer, he only had one thought in his mind, he wanted to ask Ji Ning face to face!

But he just opened the door and immediately attracted the attention of several people.Those people were all dressed as soldiers, and they looked at him with some respect and even more vigilance.

The longing was suppressed by this gaze.Bai Qingyan calmed down, he realized that he was still a prisoner and could not enter or leave the barracks at will.

A soldier pushed open the door from the outside and asked respectfully, "My lord, are you awake? What's the matter?"

Bai Qingyan shook her head.The soldier looked at him curiously, as if he wanted to know, why did General Ji treat this person differently?

Bai Qingyan knew that Ji Ning kept the matter of being Yuyao's crown prince very tight.Apart from Ran Chen and Long Ye, only his confidant Wang Wan has been following him to know the truth.

If Wang Wan was here, things would be much easier.It's a pity that it's a new recruit she doesn't know, Bai Qingyan really doesn't dare to take risks. ,

"My lord, who are you looking for? General Ji is not in the camp." "The general is not here, where did he go?"

"General he he he go to the front"

The soldier faltered.Of course he knew about the hunting party.But Ji Ning also said that no one is allowed to mention this matter within a radius of ten feet around the carriage.Although the recruit didn't know whose eyes and ears he was avoiding, he didn't dare to speak nonsense. ,

Fortunately, Ji Ning also gave them a unified statement, if they had to mention hunting, they would use "war" to refer to it.That's not enough, Ji Ning was afraid that Bai Qingyan would find out the flaws, and even gave a set of excuses for the so-called "war" itself, just to guard against today's situation.

This little soldier is also familiar with these rhetoric.So he went on quite naturally,

"The general is going to prepare for the war."

"War?" Bai Qingyan was a little surprised—this place is deep in the hinterland of Lang Ye, where did the war come from?

"We, King Lang Ye, are all located in the midst of high mountains. After climbing a mountain, we will be Daxie. Not far away is Daxie's outpost. The emperor of Daxie is also good friends with the prince of Yuyao Kingdom. The general said , maybe that person will come to avenge his close friend, in order not to surprise Sheng Jia, it is better to first

Be strong.So he explored the way first, and went to attack tomorrow. """

Da Xie is now the third prince who has just ascended the throne as the emperor, and he is indeed Bai Qingyan's friend.Hearing what he said, Bai Qingyan naturally believed it.

"Where is the outpost?"

"It's on the mountain over there. It's said to be very high, and I don't know if I haven't been to other places. Or, my son, wait until the general returns at night, and then go back to the mountains."

ask him? "

That outpost never existed, let alone where it was.Ji Ning did not explain in such detail when he taught them how to speak.The soldier was afraid that he might say something wrong, and if Bai Qingyan heard something wrong, then he would be out of luck.So he made up some nonsense and ran away with an excuse. ,

But he didn't know what kind of turbulent waves this casual sentence "on the mountain" caused in Bai Qingyan's heart.

Bai Qingyan is proficient in military geology, and Da Xie is Yuyao's ally.Of course he knew that most of Daxie's outposts were on the mountainside, which had favorable geographical location and convenient supplies.The only exception is at a well-known outpost not far from King Lang Ye.

The terrain there is extremely steep, easy to defend but difficult to attack, known as the nightmare land of strategists!There is a protruding peak there, condescending, surrounded by large ice fields, and the enemy's actions can be seen clearly under the eyes of the outpost!

As long as there are some sensible generals, no one will attack Da Xie from there.What's wrong with Ji Ning?To gnaw on this hard bone for no reason?

What's more, he was still injured!

Bai Qingyan was a little anxious.He knew that an attack would be very dangerous.Especially the people of Lang Ye valued taking the lead. Ji Ning attacked with injuries, it was hard to say what would happen. ,

However, the soldier also said that Ji Ning was just exploring the way first.When he comes back at night, we must persuade him, state the pros and cons, and tell him to give up.

This idea will do.

Thinking about it this way, Bai Qingyan felt a little more at ease.He guarded the things in the pineapple wooden box, feeling ups and downs all day long.Just wait for Ji Ning to come back in the evening, and ask him clearly—if he is really that heartless, why do he still keep these things?What did you do to save yourself from the wolf king?What are you doing to take care of those Yuyao people after you lose your memory?

In the past, I only said that I was going to die, and I just wanted to take the feelings in my heart to the grave.But now, Qing Yu is actually in the Lang Ye army, running around for his cold poison.If he is not going to die immediately, if Ji Ning really cares about his old friendship, and is willing to treat him with sincerity...o

As Bai Qingyan thought about it, she felt some anticipation and nervousness.He unknowingly waited until the third watch of the month. ,

But Ji Ning didn't come back. 7

It was late at night, and Ji Ning lit a torch, and went around the hunting ground for the last time.The venue is huge, and it takes half a stick of incense to go around on horseback.

"Tighten the fence over there." "Yes, General!"

The soldiers following behind hurried over and passed Ji Ning's order to the soldiers.In the dark, the labor continued. ,

"This place is really big. Thousands of Yuyao people are scattered in it. I'm afraid they will run away in an instant. Isn't this causing trouble for everyone? Since they are going to kill people, why don't they tie them up tightly and cut them down row by row?" In the past, wouldn't it be faster!"

A centurion grumbled.Another person next to him answered the call,

"You don't understand this. Otherwise, what would His Majesty say is a hunting meeting? For example, if you go hunting and just want to eat meat, why don't you go to the butcher to buy it? Why do you have to ride and shoot yourself? Of course they run It’s more interesting if you catch up and kill them.”

Ji Ning turned his head and gave them a cold look.The two shrank their necks, not daring to speak.But when Ji Ning turned his head, he heard a whisper.

"It's not serious military affairs, how can the general manage it so tightly?

"Shh you don't want to die?

Ji Ning felt even more depressed.He frowned tightly, not wanting to say a single unnecessary word.The emperor regarded these Yuyao people as livestock and beasts, and used them to slaughter for fun, so there was a hunting party—he also asked that the venue must be circled, and even gave them arrows and unsharp weapons!Just like a cat playing with a mouse, never slap it to death.You must play with it slowly, appreciate the howling of the prey in fear and despair, beg for mercy on the knees, and even collapse, that is what he wants!

What Ran Chen said is not wrong, His Majesty is really crazy!

But what can he do?The imperial power is mighty, all he can do is to hide the truth from Bai Qingyan and prevent him from knowing the truth

Fortunately, Bai Qingyan lost her memory and didn't know the existence of these more than a thousand Yuyao prisoners.Otherwise, he would never be able to hide it.Based on his understanding of Bai Qingyan, if that person finds out—the relationship between the two of them will be completely over!

Thinking of this, Ji Ning felt a little lucky. ,

He examined the hunting grounds more seriously, and exhorted,

"You must remember that tomorrow will be the time to drive them to the southwest. If there is one who runs to the northeast camp, I only ask you!"

All the soldiers agreed in unison.But one said,

"General, you are too careful. Those people are not stupid. This is our base camp in the northeast direction. There are so many brothers with long knives on the road. They go northeast, aren't they throwing themselves into a trap? They I didn’t want my life, so I ran this way.”

"They're like headless chickens. Do you know where they're going?"

Ji Ning widened his eyes and snapped,

"Give me your heart! Don't let any one go!"

The soldier was still whispering,

"So what if we run over there? That's our military camp. I'm afraid they will cause some storms?"

As soon as the words fell, the soldier was kicked in the buttocks.

He looked back, but saw Deputy General Tatsuno staring at him with a straight face.Feeling a chill behind his back, Xiao Bing quickly shrank his neck and went to work.

Tatsuno looked at Ji Ning worriedly.With so many people present, maybe he was the only one who knew what Ji Ning was really worried about - as long as someone ran back, there was no guarantee that they wouldn't rush in front of Bai Qingyan. ,

At that time, how would Ji Ning end up?He was afraid he didn't even dare to think about it. ,

Two or three days to circle a hunting ground, the project is huge.Ji Ning was extremely demanding, and he couldn't make any mistakes.They were busy until late at night before they were finished. ,

"General. Why don't we camp here."

Ji Ning looked around and saw that the soldiers were indeed tired, so he nodded. ,

"You take them to camp and rest on the spot."

After speaking, he got on his horse.Tatsuno stopped him, "General, where are you going?" "I'll go back to the camp and report to His Majesty."

After Ji Ning finished speaking, he shook and almost fell off his horse.It was Tatsuno who helped him in time. ,

"Your Majesty must be asleep. Why don't we go to meet Shengjia early tomorrow morning." After Long Ye finished speaking, he lowered his voice again, "Brother, your face is serious.

It's too ugly.I have already suffered internal injuries, so I don't think I should go back and forth tonight. "

""

"Otherwise, if you go back like this, how can Prince Yuyao not be worried." Long Ye persuaded softly, "It will take a lot of time to explain."

This matter hit Ji Ning's heart.Where is Ji Ning going to meet the saint?He also just wanted to go back and see Bai Qingyan.But what Long Ye said was right, I'm afraid that Bai Qingyan would be worried when she saw that she was injured.So Ji Ning hesitated for a while, then nodded and said,

"You are right, let's camp here today.

Bai Qingyan opened her eyes in a daze, and found that the sky was dim and she was holding something in her arms.He moved, and the three kits fell from his arms to the ground.

He fell asleep like this?Yesterday I was waiting for Ji Ning

Thinking of this, Bai Qingyan suddenly woke up - Ji Ningni?Didn't he come back last night? .

Bai Qingyan quickly stood up, opened the window and glanced at the sky.The morning star was hanging in the air, the starlight gradually dimmed, and a golden line appeared in the east. :

It's almost dawn!Ji Ning, Ji Ning and the others wouldn't come back and attack the mid-mountain outpost overnight, right? !

Bai Qingyan's heart suddenly rose to mid-air.Just at this time, he saw a group of messengers passing through the camp, calling for people from tent to tent.Not long after, a wisp of cooking smoke rose from each tent.Then, the soldiers all lined up and got out of the tents and went in one direction. ,

Gathering in the morning, there must be action!Bai Qingyan concluded that they must have joined Ji Ning and were going to attack the outpost. ,

Bai Qingyan gently closed the window.He returned to the car, took out a whole set of Lang Ye military uniform from Ji Ning's clothes, and dressed neatly.After rummaging around, he couldn't find his broken sword, so he found Ji Ning's epee and tied it around his waist.Wait until the outside brigade of wolf Ye soldiers have walked over.He just opened the car door, ready to follow. ,

But he paused and came back again.Opening the pineapple wooden box, he picked up the tip of the broken sword and looked at it. Together with the pine cone, he stuffed it into his breastplate.It's like a talisman, with them, Bai Qingyan only feels that she is still the god of war galloping on the battlefield __ invincible and fearless. ,

After this delay, almost all the wolf soldiers in the camp disappeared.There are only sporadic guard posts left, and they are all careless.Bai Qingyan easily bypassed them and walked back step by step.He knew that the horse team was also over there, just in front of the Yuyao prisoners' convoy.Since the defense was lax, he might as well find a horse, so as to find Ji Ning before he set out to attack the outpost. ,

Unexpectedly, when Bai Qingyan walked halfway, she heard bursts of noise, mixed with terrified cries.He was very familiar with that accent, it was Yuyao dialect!

He quickly hid in the dark, only to see dozens of prison cars driving past, being escorted by the Lang Ye army.

What are they going to do?Why should all the Yuyao people be escorted away?
