break the barrier

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight a hundred battles without imperil. Don't ask who is coming, don't explore the truth, don't think of war.

Wei Xiao entered the water with two fingers, touched a blunt stone, and then held it between his fingertips to wait for the opportunity to move.

Until the living creature was about to burst out of the forest, he measured the distance and charged the boulder with his fingertips to fly out. In an instant, the sound of the boulder breaking through the wind prompted a cry of pain, and the man fell to the ground.

As a result, the two of them immediately relaxed, Wei Xiao got up wearing Zhou Prison's robe, Zhou Prison also put away the unsheathed scimitar, and approached the figure.

It's not an enemy attacking a wild beast, and the childish voice is heard, mixed with the sound of dripping water, "Brother General...it's me, Chen San'er..."

Chen San'er knelt on the ground, the side of her leg was scratched by a stone, shaking, and peed again in fright, "I'm hot, I want to come out and wash..."

No wonder the shadow is low, no wonder the steps are disorderly, he was a reckless child.

Wei Xiao glanced at him with a cold face, and walked back barefoot without packing up his clothes.

"Brother General, it hurts so much...!"

Zhou Prison followed Wei Xiao with half of his feet out, but the loud crying by his legs could not be ignored. He glanced at Chen San'er's injury, and he couldn't die, so he ran back to the stream to wet Wei Xiao He picked up his shoes and socks and hurried into Yang Lin to catch up.

He ran fast, Wei Xiao couldn't walk barefoot, so he caught up with him in a few steps.

The road surface is bumpy and uneven, and there are occasional raised dead branches and fallen leaves, which are dry and thorny, and it will not feel good to tie them into the skin.Seeing Wei Xiao stepping on it, Zhou Yu felt startled, and chased after him at a loss.

"Teacher...Teacher, don't be angry, just put on your shoes and socks."

He could see that Wei Xiao was angry, but he couldn't guess why.In the past, there were only two reasons for Wei Xiao to be angry, one was state affairs, and the other was that he got into trouble again, but now it is obviously neither.

"Teacher...Teacher, you...Wei Qinglin!"

The barefoot and self-willed people finally stopped.

"I offended the teacher." Zhou Yu hugged Wei Xiao horizontally, pursed his lips, and walked back to the station quickly.

Putting Wei Xiao lightly on top of Wang Tan, Zhou Juan bowed his head and knelt on one knee, scrubbing the soles of his feet with his outer robe. The candle flame was weak, but the red marks left by the rough dead branches could still be seen clearly.

There was only the crackling of candles in the king's tent, Wei Xiao got up to no avail, stood up and stepped on Zhou Yu's shoulder, "Brother General, why do you have so many younger brothers and sisters?"

Zhou Prison suddenly realized, "It's because Ji Yun is not strict in governing the army. There shouldn't be children in the army, and there shouldn't be compassion in marching and fighting!"

His eyes were sincere, but Wei Xiao just wanted to slap her on the forehead.

This reunion has many difficulties that cannot be summed up in one word. Time waits for no one, but the relationship between the two actually stopped five years ago and restarted from today.

Zhou Prison is informal, but he is not, but for half a day, every time they are in a strong atmosphere, they always want to pretend to be a little girl and a kid. Zhou Prison is no longer his own Zhou Prison.

Now Zhou Prison is already a general, not a student who relies on his shade. It is his fault that he did not recognize each other, "Forget it, come up to sleep."

"Uh...I'll go to the stream to wash first."

"Lie down! How could I dislike you?" Wei Xiao pulled him back and pressed him onto the bed.

He just came back from the stream, his body was chilly, Zhou Yu's body exuding heat was his home, he wanted to hug Zhou Qiang tightly in his arms like before, but Zhou Qiang was already a man, so he couldn't hug him.

Sighing, he retracted his hand embarrassingly, and took Zhou Prison's arm sideways, which made him sigh again. Such a thick arm was very different from the naughty student he remembered.

He squeezed and measured, thinking how he had grown up in five years, but he didn't know that his little bird's strength was equivalent to itching to Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu was so worn that he hid.

"teacher…"

"Ji Yun hates me."

"No, no, no... not..."

"We used to be like this. We slept together for ten years. It was so easy to see each other again, but Ji Yun kept estranged." Wei Xiao turned his back to Zhou Prison, trying to express his grievance and dissatisfaction. This person was raised by him since childhood. The older ones are the most thoughtful.

Sure enough, seeing that he was "sad", Zhou Yu didn't care about the rules and etiquette, and embraced him sideways.

Maybe it's too intimate, maybe it's not etiquette, but this is his subconscious reaction. Wei Xiao comforted him like this when he was a child, and he learned everything from Wei Xiao.

After this brief half-day together, Zhou Prison felt that their identities seemed to be reversed, and the one who was coaxed by the escort became Wei Xiao, but the one who took the lead was still Wei Xiao.

"I'm already 23, and I always feel offended by being too close to the teacher."

"Then do you want to get close to me?"

"I…"

Perhaps the candle was too bright, and Zhou Prison's face turned red, making him hesitant and speechless.It just so happened that Wei Xiao was a caring person, as soon as he turned his fingertips, he found a thin piece of metal out of nowhere, and with a wave of his hand, he extinguished the dying candle.

Only then did Zhou Prison speak in a hoarse voice, "Thinking about it."

Wei Xiao laughed when he heard these two words, but he held back his voice, waiting for Zhou Prison to get closer and closer to him, to hug him more and more tightly, and to forget about the bullshit filial piety, before turning around Go face to face with Zhou Prison.

He caressed the scar on his forehead, "You are the closest person I have in this world, and it doesn't hurt how close we are, you know?"

Zhou Prison responded, and put his palm on Wei Xiao's back. The two of them leaned on each other's chests, and it was hard to tell whose heartbeat was more frenzied. "The teacher is my only relative."

The next day, Wei Xiao was awakened by the noise of weapons outside, and only when he lifted the curtains did he see the sun hanging high, and it was time.

He gathered his coat and was about to go out to search for Zhou Prison, when a soldier walked towards him, carrying a bag full of water, when he came up to him, he stopped abruptly, the water in the bag splashed his clothes, But not even a sentence is owed.

"The general ordered me to wash for you." The soldier's tone was cold and hard, and if the disgust in his eyes deepened, it could be regarded as murderous.

Wei Xiao's underwear was wet, and it was extremely uncomfortable to stick to her chest. She stretched out and shook, and wiped it with the back of her dry hand. When she looked up again, her face was not peaceful.

He suppressed his displeasure, "Do you know how to serve people?"

The soldier frowned and said nothing, and he flicked the water droplets on his fingertips at the soldier's door, raising his eyebrows, "Are you worthy of serving people?"

"You!" The soldier was furious, he could not get used to the people from Shangcheng, and he was reluctant to serve Wei Xiao to wash his hands, so how could he endure the humiliation of "unworthy".

The soldier blushed, and immediately fell off the bag, and the water in it splashed all over the place, and those who jumped high hit Wei Xiao's face, and his eyelashes and temple hair were stuck to his skin by the water.

Not giving up like this, the soldier gathered his energy and kicked away the mud-stained bag like a kick, and Wei Xiao's snow-white jacket was imprinted with a big mud mark.

"The upper city has been defeated, so why don't you still think of yourself as the king!"

Hearing this, Wei Xiao's eyelids trembled, probably because the metal on his calf was too heavy and hurt.He took a few steps forward, and there was only a fist distance between him and the soldier, so close that he could feel each other's breath.

"People are born into ranks and ranks, but they shouldn't be divided according to cities. I, Wei Xiao, whether I am a king or not, will always be higher than you."

As he said that, his left hand was already resting on the side of the soldier's neck. It was the only fragile skin exposed outside the armor, and it was the part that should not be exposed to the enemy on the battlefield.

He guessed that the soldier in front of him should feel a little cold, because the ring on his left middle finger was already tightly attached to his neck, and it only took a moment...

"teacher!"

Just a moment later, Zhou Ju came out from the tent in the distance and waved towards him.He had to move his palm, and in the end he just slapped the soldier's cheek a few times with the back of his hand, and walked towards Zhou Prison.

His clothes were torn through, the hem of his clothes was dirty, his newly awakened hair was slightly messed up, and his long eyelashes were also wet.In this way, Xu Bu didn't look embarrassed when he walked, he just felt that he had suffered and fell into trouble.

"Teacher, what's the matter?" Zhou Prison immediately quickened his pace after seeing clearly, his eyes looked straight at his face, and he was extremely concerned.

He was quite satisfied with Zhou Prison's reaction. He turned his head slightly to look at the unknown soldier, and stood with his head bowed, no longer as proud as before. get in the way."

"I bumped into the teacher, I will change tomorrow." Zhou Juan squatted down like yesterday, cleaning up Wei Xiao's dusty clothes.

However, Wei Xiao did not replay yesterday. Looking at the soldiers with complex expressions, he suddenly understood that the reason why this group of black wolves were so hostile to him was probably because they regarded him as a pet who seduced Zhou Prison to live?

Looking at it this way, the soldier's attitude can be regarded as loyal, Wei Xiao smiled at him, "You just step back, people in the world are not ranked, I am no longer a king, and I don't need to be served."

The soldier's face became even uglier, but he was afraid of the general's anger, so he hurriedly retreated with his dirty pocket.

What Wei Xiao said just now was in his heart. He was just talking nonsense, and when he met someone who made him uncomfortable, he would definitely say something that hurt people.

"Jiyun, get up quickly, just change to another one, and continue on the road, don't miss the time of departure."

"Okay."

When the two returned to the king's tent, Zhou Yu consciously told Wei Xiao the tentative return route. The journey from the upper city gate to the Baijiu Cave was not just as simple as rushing.

Dachong has been plagued by the inter-city class system for thousands of years, and the hierarchy has almost been internalized into the bones and blood of the people. If it is to be changed, it must not be invaded by force. It has to build schools, overturn the old system, and change the foundation of its thinking.

The lower city and the Baijiu Grottoes are far away from the upper city, and the hands of the upper city can only be stretched out, but not long. In the end, the so-called "bastards" and "lower people" were the first to civilize and rebel.

"Fengzhen is very close to the upper city, and it has the largest Liuyue Pavilion. I don't know how much filth it hides. The first station on the return journey is set here. It is the most suitable for supply and rectification."

Zhou prison walked on the sheepskin map with his fingertips, and when it came to arranging troops, even in front of Wei Xiao, he no longer stumbled, he was born to be a general.

"What does the teacher think?"

"Listen to the general."

"teacher…"

Zhou Yu took his eyes off the map and saw Wei Xiao sitting face to face with him in front of the desk, with his palms resting on his cheeks, his eyebrows and eyes arched as if in reverence.

"Teacher, don't make fun of me again. Ji Yun knows that he is superficial, so he sincerely asks the teacher to enlighten him." He rubbed his hot ears, put one hand on the back of his neck and turned his head in embarrassment.

"Why does Jiyun underestimate himself? You have broken the brother's country!" Wei Xiao looked surprised.

This teasing made Zhou Prison even more embarrassed. Seeing General Heilang showing his familiar child appearance, Wei Xiao was inexplicably relieved, "Jiyun and I have a good understanding, I have long thought about Liuyue Pavilion, and this route is exactly what I want."
