break the barrier

"Brother General! Are you asleep!"

Wei Xiao stared at the curtain, Xu Shi had just started a dream, and the inexplicable hostility made him unable to feel it.

"I brought pears to my brother!"

The curtain was lifted, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl came in, with red cloth strips tied around her braid, as if she was a child who hadn't grown up yet.

Seeing the child jumping in, Wei Xiao felt ashamed, and rubbed the center of his brows with his forehead.

Hong Ye'er pocketed five or six pears with her clothes, ran to Zhou Prison and knelt down, letting the green pears roll on the ground, "Brother, why don't you light a candle?"

She lit wax on the table, picked up one of the ripest pears, wiped it on her clothes, and handed it to Wei Xiao, "Beautiful brother eats too."

"Don't call him indiscriminately." Zhou Prison put on a straight face, and with the scar on his forehead, he had the majesty of a general.

Hong Ye'er lowered his head to keep quiet, but Wei Xiao reached out to pick up the pear. He squinted at Zhou Prison, and leaned over with his shoulder, "Why is it a confusing name? Ji Yun thinks I'm not good-looking?"

Of course Zhou Prison didn't mean that. In his heart, a teacher should be respected.

Although one of the purposes of his army was to overthrow the unreasonable inter-city class system, but the teacher is the only one in his heart, and no system or law can stop it.

He shook his head and waved his hands and said no. The best answer he thought was to praise Wei Xiao for being good-looking, but he was ashamed and couldn't say it. He could only look at Wei Xiao laughing on his shoulder, and his neck was red from the smile, and then spit out Good word.

"Teacher, teacher looks good."

"I'm sorry."

Leaning on the side of Zhou Prison, Wei Xiao looked at the little girl opposite, "What's your name? Why did you come to the army at such a young age?"

"My name is Hong Ye'er! Last month, I came to deliver food and grass with my uncle at home, but in the end there was a surprise attack. My uncle was gone, and I couldn't go back by myself, so I stayed." Hong Ye'er said calmly, not saddened by the death of her relatives. the meaning of.

She was so calm that Wei Xiao was suspicious, but fortunately Zhou Yu said a few words for her, saying that Hong Ye'er is from Fengzhen, Zhongcheng, and there are elders at home, so if she is asked to follow her along the way, it can be regarded as sending her home.

Wei Xiao believed Zhou Prison's words, so Wei Xiao ignored Hong Ye'er's weird attitude, opened her mouth to bite off the pineapple in her hand, and the little girl immediately laughed.

This little girl has a lot of sweet talk, while gnawing on a pear, she talked about interesting things of the day, now she talked about picking wild fruits, then she talked about digging out bird nests, Wei Xiao simply responded, until...

"Hong Ye'er thinks my brother is a good person, and my brother looks better than Liuyue Pavilion's sister."

"Liuyue Pavilion?" Hearing this, Wei Xiao fell in love.

This pavilion is not unfamiliar to Wei Xiao, it is the largest music hall in Midtown, an elegant place to talk about piano, chess, dance and music, and it is also the most frequent place for dignitaries in the upper city to come and go.

Officials gathered outside the court hall, no matter where it was, it was always a hidden danger. He once tried to investigate and rectify it, but unfortunately, there was a sudden change later, and he didn't have the energy to toss about it anymore.

"Hongye'er, have you been to Liuyue Pavilion?" Wei Xiao asked her.

"Of course!"

Speaking of this pavilion, Hong Ye'er became energetic. She seemed to like singing and dancing very much, so she stood up immediately to show Wei Xiao and hum the tune to herself.

Don't be shy after the dance, and lean in front of people, "Isn't it pretty?"

Wei Xiao felt that she was destined to be with this little girl, she nodded and said she was pretty, Hong Ye'er smiled happily, and ran out of the tent to catch people to show off.

It was quiet again in the tent.

Now that the war is over, the seemingly peaceful situation is actually turbulent. Now that Wei Xiao has no restrictions on the rules of the throne, his mind is alive again.

When he was meditating, he didn't have the energy to put on a smiling face, and when he sat up straight, the distance from Zhou Prison was also opened.Zhou Prison thought that Hong Ye'er was disturbing Wei Xiao by making noise, and racked his brains to find something nice to listen to.

"Teacher's dance is also beautiful."

"Huh?" Wei Xiao forcibly separated his thoughts from the matter of Liuyue Pavilion, but couldn't remember when he danced. After all, in the imperial city, it was difficult for him to even take a look.

"Teacher has danced with a sword, and it looks better than Hong Ye'er dancing, like... like a butterfly."

"Really." His mind was occupied by Liuyue Pavilion, he didn't pay attention to Zhou Prison's words, and he didn't see the man's eyes. He subconsciously said something perfunctory, staring at the candle light.

After being separated for too long, Zhou Prison felt that he could no longer guess Wei Xiao's mind like before. Seeing that he was not interested, he left the tent with his subordinates to discuss the return route, leaving Wei Xiao clean.

When the hour of Hai was about to pass, Wei Xiao covered his face and yawned, but Zhou Prison hadn't come back yet.

It was hot in June, and I sweated during the day, and my body was sticky and uncomfortable at night.

Wei Xiao had to take a bath every night, but the garrison was a harsh environment, let alone the garrison of the Black Wolf Army. He could only bear the sticky feeling, and fell asleep before Zhou Prison came back.

It was hot during the day and sweltering at night. He couldn't sleep well, turning over and throwing off the quilt at times, but he was finally woken up by the heat.

The candlelight is dim, but the place next to it is empty and cold. Why is it so ugly to discuss the route and not return?He was puzzled, so he drank the water from the water bag on the case, sobered up a bit, got up and went out to look for it, but he saw Zhou Prison leaning against Wang's tent.

The conjecture in his heart was confirmed, Wei Xiao pretended to be displeased, "Jiyun is unfamiliar with me after all."

But Zhou Prison's stupid mouth, let alone coaxing people, can't even explain, and he can't utter a word even if he opens and closes his mouth.

He didn't dare to offend Wei Xiao. After discussing the return route, he struggled again and again and still didn't dare to share the bed with Wei Xiao. He leaned against Wang's tent and fell asleep with his knife in his arms.

He has practiced martial arts all year round, and his hearing is excellent. He woke up when Wei Xiao came up. It took so long for him to think of excuses, but he couldn't make up a half-word excuse.When Wei Xiao came to ask, he was still stumbling, only a guilty "teacher" begging for mercy.

"Emwood head." Wei Xiao sighed, moved to sit next to Zhou Prison, "Ji Yun found a good place for the coolness, and didn't tell me. He hid here to enjoy the blessing."

"Teacher... the ground is cold."

"It would be nice if the ground was covered with ice!" Wei Xiao came out wearing only his jacket, and most of his chest was exposed in his sleep. He grabbed Zhou Prison's hand and pressed it to his chest, "Touch it, it's sticky, it's so hot I can not sleep."

Only for a moment of skin contact, Zhou Prison's body trembled, how dare he overstep like this, no matter where he is, and it has nothing to do with blood class, he dares to hold his head high in front of all the people in the upper city, except for Wei Xiao .

His palms are covered with rough calluses, and the countless vertical and horizontal scars are more ferocious than the dark skin. Compared with the warm mountains and soft waters under his hands, he is really ashamed.

"If the teacher doesn't dislike it, there is a stream a hundred meters away, where you can take a bath." Zhou Yu stood up abruptly, and walked out without waiting for a reply, "I'll take the teacher there!"

When he said this, he only thought about calming down his annoying heartbeat quickly, but he didn't realize how much trouble this proposal caused him.

There is indeed a small stream next to the camp, the water is clear and shallow, and it does not reach the back of the foot.They stayed only one night, and there was no threat of rising water levels before the rainy season.

Wei Xiao is not a coquettish person, and he doesn't pick up when he has to wash. He sat on the bank of the stream, took off his middle coat and put it under his body, let Zhou Ju take off his coat and stand behind him as a cover.

Wei Xiao was deemed not qualified to practice swords since he was a child. The former king asked him to learn light weapons and hidden weapons from his master.

As a result, the lower limbs are inevitably weak, with only a thin layer of soft flesh, soaked in water like cotton.

Seeing that Zhou Prison turned his head and closed his eyes, he was very puzzled, and couldn't help laughing: "Why is Ji Yun ashamed? We used to eat and live together, and it's not like we didn't have a bath together."

It's okay not to say, Zhou Prison was even more embarrassed when he spoke, he opened his eyes slightly, and what he saw was Wei Xiao's back, which was like a shiny jade under the moonlight.

He was a little dazed. In his memory, Wei Xiao's back was obviously not so thin. He obviously played around on that back, and even fell asleep on it.

How can you be so thin?

The spaciousness in his heart was just an illusion propped up by the complicated dragon robes, an illusion of his youth and ignorance, so he couldn't have any fancy thoughts.

He knelt down and put his robe on Wei Xiao, hugged him weakly, and rested his pillow on Wei Xiao's back shoulder, "Teacher."

"Huh?" Wei Xiao tilted her head and leaned towards him, rubbing her wet fingers against Zhou Prison's face, not understanding his sudden sentimentality.

"Has the teacher ever blamed me?"

"I will blame no one and I will not blame you."

The air was sweltering and freezing, and it seemed to stop them forever by the side of the stream.

They are also willing to stop here, only to blame God for being ignorant, both in the past and now, always wanting to interrupt the tenderness of the family.

There is a narrow piece of poplar forest between the stream and the residence, and weeds are full of leaves. When there is no wind, any changes will become obvious. There are rustling sounds behind them, and the two of them changed their eyes together.

"Teacher, wait for me to go and check."

"Don't move!" Wei Xiao stopped in a low voice.

Zhou Yu was puzzled, so he had to listen quietly for a while. The leaves and grass blades crisscrossed and made noises.

Either by mistake, or fearlessness.

The distance between the three of them was getting closer and closer, and Zhou Prison turned half of his body calmly. He had sharp ears and eyes, and he could vaguely see a strange black shadow, which was too low, as if he was crawling forward.

The stagnant air choked people's breathing, he half embraced Wei Xiao in a protective posture, and thousands of possibilities flashed through his mind.

Is it the remnants of the upper city, the rebels in the middle city, or the wild beast?
