The rebels quickly assembled outside the city.The spies were sent out one after another, but they brought back almost the same news in the next few days, and new follow-ups were constantly merged into this army of fangs.The number of people is increasing, which makes the situation more and more unfavorable for their isolated city-the letters sent to other cities on the same defensive front have no response, and the collapse of the barrier is almost certain.It took a few days for the rebel army to assemble outside the city, and it seemed that they were reorganizing their army. In the following days, the offensive to attack the city gradually started.

He Xiaoxiao hadn't entered the camp for several days, he didn't dare to go for fear of causing trouble to Li Jin.What's more, he didn't know exactly when Li Jin went to the city to be on duty.The entire city has become an isolated city, the gates of the city are closed everywhere, and the garrison is on duty along the walls, and no one is allowed to approach nearby.He Xiaoxiao wanted to go into the camp several times to ask about the situation, but felt that it was better not to distract Li Jin.Although Li Jin didn't have any important positions, he didn't have any free time at this moment.

After several days in a row, the Spike Army's siege continued, and the garrison began to suffer casualties. Although there were military medical officers in the camp, many people had to be allocated to take care of the injured soldiers. Therefore, after a period of time, the garrison The army began to transfer soldiers who could no longer defend the city to the medical office of the government in the city for treatment.Ever since He Xiaoxiao saw the wounded garrison sent by his juniors and juniors, he couldn't sit still, so he went to the barracks right away, but he didn't see Li Jin, only to be told that Li Jin went to the city to serve as a police officer. worth going.He Xiaoxiao was helpless, but he was not in the mood to paint those paintings again. Although he was not a disciple of Xinglin, he still knew the basics of medicine, so he simply wanted to move to the medical office to find his juniors and sisters to help them take care of the wounded.

There is just not enough manpower, Gu Pingluo Xiaoxue and others welcome his willingness to go to the medical office.In fact, there is no such thing as being happy or unhappy. Everyone is so busy that they don't have time to pay attention to what other people are doing.He Xiaoxiao stayed in the medical office for several days, and gradually took over Luo Xiaoxue's work.Although Luo Xiaoxue is a disciple of Xinglin, she has practiced the Leaving Scriptures and Yidao since she was a child, but she has been growing up in the peaceful and beautiful Valley of Flowers. As a wounded soldier, as time went on, she began to lose her support.He Xiaoxiao could only apply medicine and bandage, so he stayed with his junior brother Gu Ping every day to take care of some wounded.Although he was worried about Li Jin's situation, he went to camp a few times, but Li Jin was not there, nor were his brothers.More than a month later, he went to the camp again, and almost everyone he saw had haggard and tired faces.

Winter begins to fall.The rebels have been besieging the city for two months.He Xiaoxiao hasn't seen Li Jin for two months, so he can only fill the emptiness in his heart by being busy.But in the silent night, when he was done with his work, he began to feel unable to sit still and his mind was full of random thoughts when he heard the faint groans from the wounded soldiers.This situation is not very good, he is very clear, but Li Jin is not around, he always feels inexplicably flustered.

"Senior Brother," Luo Xiaoxue came to see the two of them at night, with a worried look, "The number of people who come to see a doctor these days has increased, but this disease can't be treated... It's been two months, and the food at home has been exhausted Now, the government doesn’t open warehouses to release food, everyone has nothing to eat, and everyone’s health is not good. What’s the use of asking me to see a doctor? This... this is not a disease.”

Even with the help of the government, the medical department still doesn't see any signs of food shortage.He Xiaoxiao and Gu Ping were silent after hearing this.He Xiaoxiao had nothing to do, he just wanted to find time to go to the camp the next day.

Unexpectedly, on the second day, there were no more wounded soldiers, and even the soldiers around the city defense seemed to relax temporarily.The people in the medical department felt it, and the common people could naturally feel it too.He Xiaoxiao rushed to the camp at noon and asked the guards, but was told that the Spike Army had retreated.

He inquired about Li Jin in the camp, and happened to meet Chen Minghua, and took him to the military doctor's office.He Xiaoxiao opened the curtain, and saw Li Jin sitting there with his legs stretched out, while the military doctor was bandaging his calf injury.He Xiaoxiao became anxious when he saw it, and immediately rushed forward, saying: "What's wrong?"

Seeing him coming, Li Jin's eyes lit up, and he was about to greet him, when the military doctor's subordinates moved a little harder, his face turned pale, and he couldn't catch his breath because of the pain, and he didn't say a word.But the military doctor said: "In the past few days, under the order of General Zhou, we went out of the city to fight, and we will inevitably suffer more serious injuries."

"Xiao... Ah, Mr. He! Don't listen to his nonsense!" Li Jin immediately interrupted the military doctor's words, "It's just a small injury! It's nothing, even walking is fine!"

Due to the military doctor's presence, He Xiaoxiao couldn't say anything, so he could only answer vaguely.After the military doctor finished bandaging Li Jin, He Xiaoxiao helped him go outside.Li Jin's calf was injured, but He Xiaoxiao didn't mind him walking around, it was just a little uncomfortable, but it would be fine in a few days, so he was relieved.But just as the heart let go, it hangs up again.The two walked to the barracks, but there was no one inside.He Xiaoxiao walked in first, with Li Jin behind, and then closed the door with his backhand, unexpectedly He Xiaoxiao turned around and rushed over, hugging him.Li Jin's left leg was still a little unsteady, and his back slammed against the door. Fortunately, the door was locked, otherwise he would have fallen out.He Xiaoxiao wrapped his hands around Li Jin's shoulders, leaned over, and kissed him vigorously.Li Jin was stunned for a short moment, and immediately hugged his hands back. He Xiaoxiao's warm tongue lingered between Li Jin's upper lips and teeth, and then slid to the corner of his mouth to lick and kiss gently.He kissed hard, and Li Jin couldn't bear to let go of him, the two hugged him tighter and tighter, until the fiery breath made each of them feel suffocated, and then they relaxed a little.

He Xiaoxiao was reluctant to part with him, and with great difficulty, he was willing to give out a left hand that hugged Li Jin tightly, and touched his face distressedly.He felt some stubble on Li Jin's face.

"Are you out of town to fight?"

"Hey, it's nothing," Li Jin said with a gasp and a smile, his hand slid down He Xiaoxiao's waist, grabbed the tight buttocks and kneaded it twice, "General Zhou led the army well, the traitor The army retreated, and we didn't have too many casualties, but we went out of the city to fight, it's nothing, ah. I'm still alive and well." As he said this, he straightened up suggestively, He Xiaoxiao I felt something hard against my belly.

"No, this place..."

"What's wrong?" Although Li Jin said so, he didn't reach out to take off He Xiaoxiao's clothes, but turned around and pressed He Xiaoxiao against the door panel, his lower body pressed against it, and slowly rubbed it.The two may not have touched each other for a long time, even if it was only between the body rubbing through the clothes, it didn't take long, He Xiaoxiao groaned first, hugged Li Jin and did not move.Immediately, Li Jin couldn't bear it any longer, hugged He Xiaoxiao for a moment, then gasped and kissed him tightly.He Xiaoxiao lowered his eyes halfway, his long eyelashes flickered for a while, as if he regained his strength, he pushed Li Jin away.

"You're so annoying, making it so awkward." He complained in a low voice. "Is there any water?"

Li Jin laughed softly, turned his head to chase and kiss He Xiaoxiao's ear which was hidden under his hair. "No, you just keep it, walk all the way back like this, don't wash it, and think of me for a while longer."

He Xiaoxiao also laughed, but felt unable to laugh after a few laughs, and just turned to look at Li Jin.

"I forgot to ask you something important..." His voice was very low, "The rebels retreated so easily?"

Li Jin stroked the loose hair on his forehead with his hand.The slightly frivolous smile just now faded from the corners of his mouth very quickly. From He Xiaoxiao's point of view, one can see the tight lines of the corners of his mouth, straight and cold. "...Where..." As if to comfort He Xiaoxiao, he still smiled after all, but the meaning in this smile is quite different from the one just now, "...it's not easy, go out to the city ten days ago to fight, big and small Little ones, I participated, I didn't participate, I fought a hundred times in total, and sometimes fought more than a dozen times a day... It was hard work."

He Xiaoxiao opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything after all. He didn't understand the war.Just like what Li Jin used to say when teasing his paintings, he has never seen a war.At this time, it seems disrespectful to say anything to the soldiers who are fighting bloody battles.So he also remained silent, just blinking his dark eyes and staring at Li Jin.

"...It's not so easy to retreat." Li Jin shook his head, turned around and walked unsteadily towards the bed, He Xiaoxiao quickly helped him, but he pushed him away unconsciously, "The leader is Spike General An Sijie, their 10,000+ Spike soldiers, how could they be reconciled once they were repelled by a few thousand people in our city. Moreover, this place... is a strategic pass of the Jianghuai River, and the hinterland behind them has always been rich, so they will definitely not Give up. In the near future, it will definitely come again."

He didn't know if it was an unintentional push just now, which made people feel alienated.Although He Xiaoxiao listened to everything he said, he began to feel lonely for no reason.Maybe it's because I haven't seen Li Jin for two months, now I see Li Jin is safe and sound, my mood relaxes, and I ran out together from the previous loneliness; maybe it's because of Li Jin's intentional or unintentional rejection of others Other appearances—the two of them were so close just now, but now they seem so far away; maybe it’s because of the many other strange feelings in Li Jin’s body. What he said just now didn’t sound like a little corporal leader’s words Yes, it looks like a general who has experienced many battles and is full of strategy, and Li Jin speaks on weekdays, and sometimes unintentionally brings out a little style, which is completely different from those soldiers who are really big and three rough.There is also the Guan Ling and the letterhead that He Xiaoxiao accidentally discovered before.A hundred years are the same as Xie Xishan's day, and thousands of years will last forever.This is also a famous saying that was widely circulated in Chang'an City many years ago, and it is still circulating today.It's just about men and women in love, who have been in love for a hundred years, and pray that they will also turn into Beiman Feichen together after death.After He Xiaoxiao went back, he thought about the name written by Li Jin carefully, and he was almost certain that the handwriting on those letterheads belonged to Li Jin himself.It is impossible to be able to write such beautiful characters without years of practice, or being born in a famous family, and being strictly required since childhood.But Li Jin hardly mentioned these things.

He Xiaoxiao couldn't feel it when they were entangled together, but whenever he thought of these things, he felt that Li Jin was looking at him from afar.The so-called sincerely admired people should treat each other honestly, not like this now.But he can also feel that if Li Jin is not sincerely interested in him, he has really wronged Li Jin.But Li Jin must have something that he didn't tell him.These messy and complicated thoughts, even with He Xiaoxiao's temperament, are sometimes made a little suffocating.He also laughed at himself, when did he have such a thousand thoughts before, he was just asking for trouble for himself, but he couldn't help thinking about it.Junior brother and junior sister, he can't confide his troubles to them, so he can only think on his own, the more he thinks, the more he can't understand, the more he can't understand, the more anxious he is. Before he came to look for Li Jin, he couldn't see anyone, but now he saw someone, and he couldn't understand. Know how to speak.

"Then... won't your family worry about being outside for so long?" He tentatively asked Li Jin.

Li Jin shook his head noncommittally, but he didn't answer He Xiaoxiao's words at all, but asked instead: "What about you? You have been away for so long, and you don't have any family letters to write?"

He Xiaoxiao didn't get half of the desired effect on this question, so he couldn't help saying angrily: "Didn't I tell you that I ran away when my mother was born, and my father couldn't read those poor articles and couldn't support himself. I, fortunately, I was lucky enough to be sent to the Valley of Thousand Flowers. Is there any family letter to write."

Li Jin nodded, but He Xiaoxiao could see that his expression was a little absent-minded: "Uh...then your...master? Is there anyone you don't care about?"

"I want to write a letter to my master, I can write it myself, what are you worrying about." He Xiaoxiao's tone was a bit aggressive, but Li Jin didn't seem to hear it—although he was talking to He Xiaoxiao, but he seemed to be thinking about something else Things, so I didn't answer any more.There was a moment of silence between the two, looking very embarrassed.Li Jin didn't seem to feel it, and kept silent on his own. After all, He Xiaoxiao found it unbearable, so he spoke first.

"...Do you mean to continue fighting?"

"I think it's just a matter of more than a month," Li Jin shook his head, "Almost 2 people were killed and captured. The Spike Army retreated overnight, and many things were too late to take away, and a lot of luggage was also seized. And food. Not to mention other things, just talking about this is a great shame to them, why don't they come to seek the report."

"Oh." He Xiaoxiao replied dully. He felt that there was a heavy black cloud pressing on his head imperceptibly, and the wind and rain were about to come, making him breathless. Less luggage and food?"

"Yes." Li Jin's tone suddenly became vague, as if he had realized something, "I don't know, it seems that I heard them say so."

"No, wait... is there a shortage of food in the army?"

"...No shortage." Li Jin was finally amused by his words.He Xiaoxiao asked this question quite naively, even if there was a lack of food in the army, even if there was no food for the next meal, as long as there was still food for this meal, no one would dare to say the word "lack of food".No one can bear the crime of shaking the morale of the army in front of the enemy.He really wanted to add that even if there was a shortage of food, he, a little soldier, would not be able to know, but after thinking about it, he swallowed the second half of the sentence.

"Then..." He Xiaoxiao didn't know what he was thinking, "I've been in the city recently, and I've heard some things from my junior sister. In the past two months, the food in the city is not enough, and the government office won't open the warehouse to release food. According to you..."

"Xiao Xiao, wait." Li Jin stood up suddenly, although he was a little unsteady, but he still stopped, "Don't say these words casually."

"Where did I say it casually?" He Xiaoxiao opened his eyes wide, the corners of his eyes were covered by the black hair on both sides of his cheeks, "Indeed——"

Li Jin waved his hand, as if he didn't want to talk more. "Don't worry about it. What will the people in the city do? The government and the garrison will naturally have a way to deal with it. You and I can talk nonsense about this. Besides, even if the rebels are retreating temporarily, they may open the city gates. Go around to raise food. There are ways anyway, so what are you afraid of?"

He Xiaoxiao wanted to say something more, but when he saw Li Jin's expression again, he choked.He could tell that no matter what he said, Li Jin would not listen to him.

"……I'm leaving."

"I'll take you out." Li Jin's tone softened again, as if he could see He Xiaoxiao's loss, "Next time I won't be on duty, I'll go find you."
