Rebirth of Tao Yao

There is actually no danger for Yan Li to go out of the city to chase the remnants this time. Morale is the first priority in fighting. The defeat of the Hu soldiers is a foregone conclusion. Even the leader of the army, Prince Huo Da, is dead, and the body was thrown from the top of the city by King Yan .The barbarians outside the south gate had already panicked, and what Yan Li and the others were chasing at this moment was a group of rout soldiers, who were brave enough to fight against ordinary people, but only wanted to run away when they were really facing an army.

After going out of the city for two days and one night, most of the time was spent on the chase, and the horses were tired before the people.

In the evening of the next day, Yan Li, Gao Dashan and others returned to the city with a small team. The young men were still a little unfulfilled, talking and joking all the way full of energy.Even Gao Dashan was in high spirits, and couldn't help bragging: "I killed five Hu soldiers this time. If they didn't run too fast and couldn't catch up, I would definitely kill more!"

The teenagers next to him were booing, some were dissatisfied, and some even admired.Many of them are actually on the battlefield for the first time, unlike Gao Dashan who had followed Yan Li to kill a back and forth in the barracks of the barbarians before. The first time they killed someone, some people trembled their hands, some turned their heads and vomited, and even a head There are many people who have not gained anything, so their admiration for Gao Dashan is also sincere.

Gao Dashan was flattered, and the dark blood stains on his silver armor turned into medals.But he still has self-knowledge, killing the enemy is killing him, but even in this kind of chasing and defeating soldiers, he also failed.

Looking down at his bandaged but weak left leg, Gao Dashan felt a little discouraged again.In fact, the reason why they came back with the team so early was because this group of young boys who had just entered the battlefield were useless. Nine out of ten people in the group were injured, and the only one who was intact was Yan Li, but the little general still let them go. They came back together, which made Gao Dashan feel that he was a drag.

Thinking of this, Gao Dashan put away the pride and disappointment on his face, turned his head to look at Yan Li next to him, and said sincerely: "Boss, you are not actually injured, and you don't need to come back in such a hurry, you can stay outside for more Accumulate some military merits."

This time chasing rout soldiers is really a rare good time to accumulate military merits, after all, military merits are also calculated by winning, such rout soldiers are much easier to deal with than the fierce Hu soldiers in normal times.The reason why Gao Dashan and the others went out of the city to pursue them so actively was because they wanted to accumulate more military merits. If they hadn't been injured, they would definitely not be willing to return to the city at this time.

Yan Li didn't care about this, and didn't care about the excitement or disappointment of the teenagers. She was holding a dagger to her face - the sharp blade was white, and the blood stains that had been stained had already been wiped clean by Yan Li. There was just enough reflection of her face in front of her.So the little general took the dagger and used it as a bronze mirror, looking at his face from time to time, and then pulled his sleeves to wipe the dried blood on his face.

Hearing Gao Dashan's words, Yan Li said indifferently: "Who said I wasn't injured? I have an injury on my shoulder, and I haven't changed my dressing for two days."

Gao Dashan didn't care whether he was hurt or not, he watched Yan Li wipe his face for a long time, his thick eyebrows twitched into a ball, and finally couldn't help asking awkwardly: "Boss, what are you doing, looking at the mirror?" Dressing up?!"

It was the first time someone described it as "dressing up in front of the mirror". Even though Yan Li was a woman, she felt indescribably weird in her heart.She glanced at the bright blade again, then twisted her fingers, inserted the dagger into the sheath, and then said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just afraid that my face will be covered with blood. When I go back, I will accidentally scare you." people."

Hearing the words, Gao Dashan muttered in a low voice: "Anyway, Miss Wen can't see it, so she can't be scared." After seeing Yan Li's increasingly unfriendly eyes, he suddenly tightened his scalp, and quickly changed the subject: "Boss You'd better not wipe your face, it won't be clean anyway, you might as well wait until you go back and wash it. And if you go back like this and let Miss Wen see, she must feel distressed, maybe she won't be angry with you, boss. "

Yan Li raised his eyebrows when he said this, and his heart was slightly moved, and in the end he really didn't care about the blood-stained face.Then, accompanied by the impassioned chatter and laughter of the teenagers, the group rode back to the city.

After two days out of the city, the border town has not changed much, but the city has probably been thoroughly checked, and the people hiding at home gradually appeared on the street.However, compared to before the war, the once bustling border town has become completely depressed. The number of pedestrians on the street is less than one-twelfth of what it used to be. Even if there are sergeants patrolling, it seems deserted.

Seeing that Yan Li's face was serious after entering the city, Gao Dashan couldn't help persuading him: "Boss, it's okay, many people went south to escape the war. Now that the war has subsided, their household registrations are here, and they will come back soon." of."

Gao Dashan thought that Yan Li was concerned about the country and the people, but just as he finished his words of persuasion, he received Yan Li's eyes. She said: "Of course I know that. But now everyone has run away, and the shops in the city are also gone." They were all robbed, where should I go to buy gifts?" After speaking, he glanced worriedly at the towering West Mountain outside the city, and muttered, "Isn't it true that I'm going to dig some flowers and plants on the mountain and come back?"

Gao Dashan who worries about the country and the people: "..."

****************************************************************************

When Yan Li returned to the small courtyard, everyone had already started packing their bags and planning to move back to the General's Mansion.

When the city gate was first broken, the General's Mansion was considered a target of public criticism and had been attacked by many Hu soldiers.After the street fighting started, it was impossible for Yan Qing to go back to the general's mansion openly, and if he was injured, he could only find a remote and secluded small courtyard to temporarily recuperate.But now that order has been restored in the city, everyone in this small courtyard can naturally go back to their respective homes, and Yan Qing hasn't moved out because of his injuries and it is not suitable to move for the time being.

Yan Li's return did not cause much reaction, almost as quietly as when she left.Because these battle-tested veterans all knew that going out of the city to chase down the defeated soldiers would not be too dangerous.The little general even dared to break into the enemy's camp, and even the barbarian prince was able to tie him back. Now this battle is not much different from riding a horse for a walk, so there is no need to worry.

Of course, this was just the thoughts of those veterans, and the three women in the small courtyard secretly worried about her for a while except Yan Li.Especially Wen Ziran, even though he was calm on the surface, Qin Yunshu obviously found that his daughter had been staying in the yard for a long time.

What are you always doing in the yard?Naturally, it is waiting for the sweetheart to return safely!

Qin Yunshu didn't tell the truth, and even put a chair in the shade of the courtyard. Sitting on it, he could just see the courtyard door, and he could hear the movement of the courtyard door even if he couldn't see it.Wen Ziran didn't say anything when she was brought over by the proprietress, and she pretended to be nonchalant all day yesterday, but the whole night passed without waiting for Yan Li to come back, so she sat down on that chair when she had free time today.

It wasn't the first time Wen Ziran waited for the return of Yan Li from the battle, but this was the first time she felt anxious.

Perhaps because of knowing the identity of Yan Li's woman, the elder brother who was once in Wen Ziran's heart who was very good at fighting is now also worrying - Wen Ziran can't help but think about whether Yan Li was injured and who was injured Can you help her deal with the wound?Is she strong enough, is she no match for those fierce barbarians?Is it really okay for her to sleep outside in the wilderness and hang out with men?

In the past two days, Wen Ziran thought a lot about things that he would never think about before, and the more he thought about them, the more he felt uneasy, and even the original entanglements and embarrassments were left behind.So when she heard a sound at the gate of the courtyard, the sound of horseshoes stopping at the gate, and then the familiar footsteps of Yan Li, she stood up subconsciously, and even took two steps forward, from the shade of a tree. Stepped into the scorching sun.

As soon as Yan Li entered the door, she saw Wen Ziran in the yard, her eyes lit up, and she walked over quickly.

There is a breeze blowing in the small courtyard, blowing the branches and swaying, and the light spots falling on the ground from among the branches and leaves flickering and flickering.The wind carried the scorching heat that only belonged to summer, and at the same time, it also carried a strong smell of blood rushing toward the face.

Wen Ziran is no stranger to this bloody smell, and she has been quite familiar with this smell for a long time.It was the breath that lingered in A Niang's nostrils when she was killed, and it was the strongest smell in the arms of her brother when he rescued her from birth. It made people panic and fear, but it also made people feel at ease...

People who cannot see are always easily influenced by other senses.Wen Ziran recalled her previous life again, so she inevitably wandered away for a while, and when she came back to her senses, she realized that the person who had clearly walked in front of her before seemed to have retreated again?

Wen Ziran's first thought was that elder brother was injured, because Yan Li used to avoid her only when she was injured, lest she worry about asking questions.The heart that had just fallen for a while suddenly lifted again, Wen Ziran raised his hand and groped in the direction where Yan Li was, while frowning, he looked worried and asked anxiously: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Of course Yan Li was not injured, the reason why she stepped back was because she remembered that her body was covered in blood.She remembered that the little girl was a bit of a clean freak and hated the smell of sweat, not to mention the smell of blood all over her body now.In order not to make himself feel more disgusted, the little general resolutely took a few steps back and said, "Zi Ran, don't worry, I'm fine. I, I'll change clothes first, and I'll come to you later."

After saying this, Yan Li hurried away, brought a bucket of water back to the room, and planned to wash it first, and then appeared in front of Wen Ziran with the best posture.But she completely forgot the earlier plan to make the other party feel sorry for her.

Wen Ziran didn't know this, when she heard Yan Li's footsteps, she hurriedly chased after her for two steps, lost her footing and almost tripped.Fortunately, when Qin Yunshu heard the movement, he happened to support her, but she grabbed her arm and asked, "Aniang, help me see what's wrong with brother, but she is injured again and avoids me?"

Yan Li ran so fast that Qin Yunshu basically only saw her back, but her bloodstained body was really scary.Even when she ran across the yard, there was a smell of blood in the air. Qin Yunshu didn't know if she was injured, so he hesitated and said, "I didn't see it clearly, but the little general just came back from the battlefield. , the clothes are full of blood..."

Although Wen Ziran knew it was normal after hearing this, she couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat.
