crime of heart

The snow fell harder and harder.Until the middle of the night, there was still no stop.A tall and straight figure was kneeling in the snow. Gradually, this clear figure was almost covered by the thick snow. 1

Bai Qingyan couldn't hold it anymore, her head drooped, and then she forced herself to lift it up again.He has lost consciousness in his body, but he still has a breath to hold on.But he dare not relax.He was afraid that if he really fell, he would never be able to get up again. 2

Not far away, cups and cups were still intertwined in the hall, and laughter could be heard bursts.There was a stream of people running all night—the lamb was roasted golden and the broth was served steaming from the vats.Altars of strong wine were carried on the shoulders of the soldiers, and there was a strong aroma of wine as they walked. 1

Bai Qingyan suddenly felt nauseous.Can't remember the last time I ate.He distributed the meager rations these few days to Yuyao's prisoners of war.Now, it feels like a knife has been cut in my abdomen, and the pain is tight. 17

The place where Ran Chen hosted the banquet was only a few dozen steps away from Ji Ning's residence.That was originally the main hall where the Yuyao royal family set up to enjoy dance and music, but at this moment there is bright light reflected from the window.The sound of music playing in the hall and the laughter of people can be heard from time to time in the whistling wind.

From time to time, someone ran over with the wine in the big altar.A soldier ran too fast and tripped over Bai Qingyan.He yelled, and a jar of spirits was spilled on the ground.

"You!" Seeing that he was about to be punished, the soldier's face turned blue with fright.Turning around and seeing Bai Qingyan, he yelled, "What are you doing!"

It was as if a needle had been stuck in Bai Qingyan's kneecap, and the pain was piercing.He breathed slowly, white water vapor rose from his mouth and nose, and all condensed on his eyelashes.The soldier yelled at him again.Bai Qingyan turned her head away, and in the blink of an eye, shards of ice fell from her eyelashes.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the pawn was annoyed, and wanted to do something when he came up.But was stopped by a commander in black robe and armor,

"what are you doing?"

The leader has already walked back and forth several times, and seems to be in charge of the logistics of tonight's banquet.It's just that he has always turned a blind eye to Bai Qingyan and never paid attention to it.At this time, I saw that there was a change and came here.The soldier hurriedly reported, "Go back to General Longye, there is a Yuyao man kneeling here! He blocked my way so badly that he even spilled wine..."

"You tripped over the spilled wine, where do you want to find an excuse? Go and move another jar!" Long Ye scolded, the soldier didn't dare to talk nonsense, and ran away quickly. 1

Long Ye approached, his eyes sized up Bai Qingyan,

"Who are you? Why are you kneeling here?"

Bai Qingyan opened her mouth.When the lips that were dry in one place were separated, a layer of skin was torn.Licked, the rusty smell of blood. 4

"General Ji Ning, tell me to kneel here."

Tatsuno got off his horse and came over.Without saying a word, he glanced at Bai Qingyan's face indifferently.After a while, he suddenly said,

"Bai Qingyan?"

Bai Qingyan was startled.

"You recognize me?"

"You are Yuyao God of War, Bai Qingyan." 1

Long Ye's eyes fell on his waist, as if assessing the injury there.For a moment, he said,

"You are seriously injured. You should go back and recuperate." 1

Bai Qingyan was startled and looked up at him.Tatsuno said nothing, and walked away.
