My son sleeps lightly

Xiao Chong was sitting in the tent, facing Zhu Xiaodao's mother, the real head of the Niangzi Village.

She has male-like sword eyebrows, full of heroism, and the oppression is very unusual.

"Xiaodao really told you that?"

Xiao Chong nodded, "Mrs. Zhu, I know that it is not easy for you to manage the Niangzizhai. It is very difficult for you to assign the village you have worked so hard to to an organization you are not familiar with. You want to marry this way..."

"Actually," Mrs. Zhu breathed out, "I don't intend to get married. I don't feel at ease about asking Xiaodao to find a man outside, but if that general is willing to stay by Xiaodao's side and take good care of her, it's not a bad thing."

Xiao Chong was a little embarrassed, so he bit the bullet and listened to Mrs. Zhu's continuation.

"But Xiaodao originally had this idea, so I have to intervene."

"How do you want to interfere?"

"The conditions for forming an alliance can remain the same. Niangzizhai has been independent for too long. I don't have any objections to communicating more with the outside world." Mrs. Zhu's words are very reasonable, "But you must help me get rid of Xiaodao's unrealistic idea. Fighting on the battlefield," Madam Zhu sighed, "What are you thinking about?"

"Understood." Xiao Chong nodded.

"She won't listen to the words of our own people in our village," Mrs. Zhu sighed again and again, "Actually, she is not alone. Many young girls in the village have this idea. They don't know what the outside world is like. What kind, with their tempers, they don't know how much they will suffer when they go outside."

"Madam Zhu," Xiao Chong hesitated for a while, and then said, "I don't think the world is as dangerous as you think."

"What do you mean?"

"The Northern Territory is different from the Central Plains after all. There are not so many rules and regulations. It is not a big deal for a woman to be in charge of the family. If the girls in Guizhai really want to join the army, we can actually accept them. With their martial arts and courage, they will fight on the battlefield." It’s not a fantasy to make achievements.”

Mrs. Zhu stared at Xiao Chong in disbelief. It was really...

"You, don't you think women will be a drag?"

"Everything is only divided into abilities, and there is no difference between men and women." Xiao Chong said seriously, "If the girls are really willing to pass the initial physical test, I am willing to take them on a march, and the treatment is the same as that of men."

"But Xiaodao she..."

"Ma'am, I understand that no mother is willing to send her child to the military camp, but the fate of the child is in their own hands. You are not giving birth to them to control them, right?"

"I……"

Mrs. Zhu has always looked down on big men who are self-righteous, and the higher the position, the more disgusting she is, but she never thought that Xiao Chong, the leader of an army, would have such a broad mind and foresight.

"The environment in Niangzizhai is certainly superior. Girls can do whatever they want according to their personalities, but their world is too small." Xiao Chong looked at Mrs. Zhu, "Young man, who wants to be trapped in one world? For a lifetime, Mrs. Zhu, can you?"

Mrs. Zhu looked at Xiao Chong in a daze, and pursed her lips, "I see, I will think about it carefully."

Xiao Chong exhaled, stood up, and lifted the curtain of the tent for Mrs. Zhu, "I'll wait for your decision."

Zhu Xiaodao looked at her mother from afar, and poked Ye Lan next to her with her elbow, "Why, my mother's expression is so ugly?"

"It's okay to be ugly," Ye Lan raised her eyebrows, "This means that Xiao Chong has meant something to her heart."

"What do you mean?"

"To be honest, your brain is not suitable for serving in the army. What do you think, Missy?"

Zhu Xiaodao stomped his foot down vigorously, and Ye Lan jumped up immediately.

"I think you are not suitable for joining the army if you are weak."

Ye Lan happened to see Xiao Chong coming out, jumped on one leg several times and hid behind Xiao Chong, "I can go through the back door, can you?!"

Zhu Xiaodao's face was swollen with anger, and he wanted to find Ye Lan with his fist. Xiao Chong took her fist and controlled her wrist with two fingers, "If you want to join the army, first The first thing is to obey orders, and everything he says in the future will be the highest instruction, can’t you never do that?”

"But you are not the one who leads the army."

"He is the one who leads me." The more serious Xiao Chong said, the more comfortable Ye Lan felt. He hugged Xiao Chong's waist from behind, put his chin on Xiao Chong's shoulder, and vomited at Zhu Xiaodao again. His tongue squeezed his eyes again, very pleased with himself.

Zhu Xiaodao snorted twice, then remembered, "If my mother still refuses, will you let me secretly join the army?"

"This..." Xiao Chong remained silent.

"Of course not." Ye Lan finally got serious, "Your mother must agree to this matter, otherwise she will not be able to truly agree with us, nor will she forgive your willfulness."

Zhu Xiaodao put his hands behind his back, looked up at Ye Lan, finally nodded and said, "I see."

Her expression suddenly seemed to have grown up by a teenager, the same as when she led the Detachment of Women to fight on the battlefield.

After sending Zhu Xiaodao away, Xiao Chong grabbed Ye Lan's hand, "Second young master, I also heard from Mrs. Zhu that there is a small hill next to Niangzizhai, and the sunset there is very beautiful. Let's go Do you want to see it?"

"where?"

……

Ye Lan was sitting on the horse, Xiao Chong was leading the horse rope and walking in front, the speed of the two was neither slow nor fast, such a leisurely moment was too rare for the two of them.

"I still remember when I was just learning horses." Ye Lan put her hands on the saddle, her feet were not properly placed in the stirrups, and kept shaking, "We are also like this."

"At that time, I didn't think the Second Young Master was a good person." Xiao Chong spoke up.

"what?!"

"Think about it, at that time the second young master, ignorant and incompetent, took me everywhere to get into trouble all day long, without any appearance of stability, and always used words to tease people, not gentle at all..."

"Hey, okay, okay, am I that bad?"

Xiao Chong looked at the setting sun in front of him and smiled softly, and said deliberately, "Yes, at that time I was thinking about how to escape from Ye Mansion and escape from your side every day."

"Oh!" Ye Lan responded loudly, "I already knew you were a little heartless."

He lowered the volume, as if speaking to himself, and murmured, "I also want to set you free, but you are too young and have no one to rely on in Luobei City, I always want you to live a better life. "

Xiao Chong looked up at Ye Lan, "What did you say?"

"It's nothing." Ye Lan pouted, with a few wrinkles on her nose, "I'm calling you a little heartless."

Xiao Chong's hand lightly pressed on Ye Lan's leg, "Second Young Master," he rolled the rope in his palm, "Ye Lan, do you regret it?"

"Regret what?"

"Regret meeting me, regret taking me in, regret giving up your original life for me."

"Guess?" Ye Lan slowly bent down.

The setting sun in the sky turned everything around into red, including the faces of the kissing couple.

……

"Let's change the date." He Hui looked at Chang Qin beside him.

Chang Qin's face was as dark as the coals burned in winter.

He planned for several days, hoping to find a good time to be with He Hui...

Now not only is there no progress in my own affairs, but I also look at other people's happy figures in vain, blocking my throat with jealousy.

"Otherwise, let's take a look from a distance." He Hui thought that Chang Qin was angry, and quickly said, "The scenery won't change."

"I didn't mean that," Chang Qin sighed, looking at He Hui with some dissatisfaction, "You don't have to take care of me."

He Hui's innocent eyes made Chang Qin vent all his anger, "Let's go, go back, I'll play chess with you."

"it is good."

When He Hui smiled, he looked a hundred times prettier than that sunset.

When enjoying the beautiful scenery here, Liang Qiu didn't have such thoughts.

Looking at the information piled on the table, the veins on his forehead almost burst out.

Seeing his expression, Liang Si felt that the situation was wrong, and stepped back carefully to the door step by step, and just about to retreat,

"and many more."

Liang Si sighed secretly, stepped forward, and waited for Liang Qiu's next order.

"What are these?"

You can see for yourself, Liang Si's eyes flicked to other places.

"Where did it come from?" Liang Qiu threw the dossier on the ground irritably. He hadn't seen the sun outside for a long time, and he was dealing with things all the time. He was so frightened that his subordinates had to pass through Liang Si for all major and minor matters.

After all, Liang Si had long been used to Liang Qiu's strange temper, and dealt with everything in silence.

"Can't you classify me into a category, do I keep them as porters!?"

Liang Si lowered his head, and moved his eyes to his feet. After waiting for a long time, Liang Qiu finally had some signs of venting, and Liang Si raised his head, "Do you want to go out and have a look?"

"Where are you going!?" Liang Qiu had a fierce look on his face.

Liang Si tapped the ground with his toes, "It's just outside, there are stars today."

"Don't you know how many people are staring at me now, waiting for me to show my head?" Liang Qiu took a breath, left his seat, walked to the side of Liang Si, leaned against the wall on the side of Liang Si, his tone softened , "So want to go out?"

"I can protect you." Liang Si replied.

Liang Qiu pursed his lips, and brushed Liang Si's bangs on his temples with his fingers. He liked Liang Si's new hair style this time, "Okay, just for a while."

The underground palace is huge, with many exits, specially for escape.

The exit chosen by Liang Si and the others extends all the way to the outside of Luobei City. Even if someone finds out here, it is easy to escape.

No one probably thought that this exit was actually in He Yu's house back then.

Liang Qiu had taken a fancy to this house a long time ago, it was so elegantly built, it would be a pity to abandon it.

The two of them climbed into the house through the secret passage in the well.

The house is already in chaos, He Ying must have asked someone to search it from the inside out, and any valuable things of his brother have been searched away by him.

What a touching brotherhood.

Liang Qiu sat on the roof of the Lord, looking down at the mess.

Liang Si raised his head, looking at the boundless galaxy.

"Do you like stars?" Liang Qiu asked.

"Ah."

Liang Qiu looked at Liang Si's side face, because he had been staying underground, Liang Si's complexion had become pale, and some thin blue blood vessels under his cheeks could be seen clearly under the cold night light.

Liang Qiu pressed the tip of his nose against Liang Si's neck, breathing in the scent of Liang Si's body.

Thin, but mesmerizing smell.

Liang Qiu thought it might be the smell of the moon.

Liang Si didn't respond, but still raised his head, "Master, when will we end?"

"Ok?"

"As you said, when everything is over, you will renovate this place and live here."

"Where do I decide, it depends on Xiao Chong and the others."

Liang Si stopped talking.

Liang Qiu is also happy to enjoy this period of silence. When doing this kind of thing, it is best not to speak.

His hand reached into Liang Si's clothes...

"Master, this is on the roof." Liang Si felt that it was too much, "I want you to see the stars."

"You are my star."

Such perfunctory words.

Liang Si pressed Liang Qiu's hand, looked at Liang Qiu sternly, "I'm not a star."

Liang Qiu withdrew his hand in disappointment, "What's wrong with the stars," he yawned, and lay down directly, with his legs raised up, "How wonderful this star is."

"Because the master sent you a letter, right?"

Liang Si intuitively felt that Liang Qiu's attitude today was definitely affected by this incident.

Sure enough, upon hearing these words, Liang Qiu's face changed, "You shouldn't care about these things."

Liang Si glanced at Liang Qiu with his eyes, but he wasn't willing to take care of it.

Liang Si's feet rested on the ridge of the roof, lighting up one after another, with his neck upturned, looking only at the stars in the sky.

Liang Qiu put one hand behind his head, his eyes were empty, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The two remained silent until Liang Qiu finally said, "He wants me to cooperate with He Ying, or he will take away my underground palace."

Liang Qiu saw that Liang Si should not continue to say, "I said I would think about it for a while, but in the end I still have to refuse."

"But I, I'm afraid that it will hurt other people." Liang Qiu sighed and stopped talking.

Liang Si lowered his head, and after a while, he also lay down.

"How can I not implicate others?"

"This," Liang Qiu turned sideways, and pressed Liang Si's nose with his index finger, "That's why we elope out of the city now, follow Ye Lan and the others, and become bandits." The idea is kind of crazy.

"What about the others?"

"My father can't find me, and nothing will happen," Liang Qiu said numbly, "but it's not necessarily true. He, huh, there are things he can't do."

"So, it's just a joke." Liang Qiu's tone was a little disappointed. He built such a huge organization by himself, but he didn't expect that it would become a drag on him in the end.

"You said that those who achieve great things should not have feelings."

Liang Qiu closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, "That's right."

"Tomorrow morning," Liang Si said calmly, "There will be a letter in everyone's room, a letter telling them to flee for their lives."

Startled, Liang Qiu sat up and looked at Liang Si, "What are you talking about?"

Liang Si blew a whistle, and suddenly two neighs came from the house, which made Liang Qiu's eyes widen, "This is..."

"You and I elope out of the city now."

Liang Qiu's expression froze on his face, seeing Liang Si slowly get up, "Do you want to leave here?"

"Are you ready this morning?"

Liang Si bit his lower lip. He knew what it meant to admit it. He opened the letter privately without Liang Qiu's consent, which was a big taboo of Liang Qiu's manager. ,” Liang Si pulled out the dagger from his waist, and handed it to Liang Qiu, “Kill me.”

what?

Liang Qiu was angry and wanted to laugh, why is Liang Si's mind so straight?

Liang Qiu took the dagger in his hand, twirled it in a circle, caught it with his backhand, and approached Liang Si's cheek.

The lips were slightly prickly and slightly torn.

It didn't hurt at all, but it made Liang Si shrink his neck.

The next moment, a bloody taste spread in his mouth.

Liang Qiu licked the blood on Liang Si's lips while kissing him.

This counts as punishment.

Liang Qiu held the back of Liang Si's head with one hand, and inserted the dagger back into the sheath hanging on Liang Si's waist with the other hand.

……

"Hey, that's why I'm here." Liang Qiu spread his hands, looking at everyone present, quite proud.

Ye Lan nodded, "I understand before, but after that, what are you guys doing on the roof? Is that house polluted by you now?"

"Yeah, so it's done, the house must be given to me." Liang Qiu has never understood what shame is.

Ye Lan made a vomiting expression, "Stay away from me in the future!"

"I'm not happy to touch you yet."

Chang Qin rolled his eyes between the two of them, "Is there anything else?"

"Don't be like this," He Hui stopped him, "We finally got together, so we should celebrate."

As soon as the words fell, Yun Chen walked in, "General, the order to hold the bonfire meeting tonight has been handed down."

Chang Qin nodded, "Well," he asked He Hui again, "Are you all right?"

"It's better that our young master knows me," Liang Qiu stuck out his tongue at Ye Lan, "I have plenty of thighs to hug!"

Ye Lan narrowed her eyes and snorted.

Seeing Ye Lan's obviously happy look, Xiao Chong let the two of them continue to quarrel, "Yun Chen, it's just right, you take Liang Si to the prepared camp, he was on guard all the way, he must be tired now."

"Hey," Ye Lan sighed, "I feel sorry for Liang Si, I have to take care of you wherever I go, how thin is my small body?"

"I also feel sorry for Xiao Chong, look at you fat," Liang Qiu smacked his lips, "Don't tell me you can't sleep and you're skinny, where are your bones?"

"You..." Ye Lan pointed at Liang Qiu, trembling with anger.

He Hui saw that he had completely calmed down, and finally it was his turn to talk to Liang Qiu, "Thank you for the antidote before."

Hearing this, Liang Qiu pursed his lips, "This matter, that medicine, was actually given to me by He Yu's people."

"what?!"

"He Yu was imprisoned by He Ying in the He Mansion. His life and death are uncertain, and all his people have surrendered to He Ying." Liang Qiu looked at He Hui, "But don't think that he really wants to save you, I think he It should just be that he doesn't want He Ying to win."

He Hui's eyes dimmed again.

Liang Qiuchang sighed, "These things about your family are nothing more than the rivalry between the two brothers, and you have always been a victim of their struggle," he said to Chang Qin, "You have been with him for so long You can’t teach him how cruel you are, you’re as kind as a little sheep.”

Chang Qin clicked his tongue to warn Liang Qiu, but it doesn't mean he said good things, so he can tease He Hui like this.

Liang Qiu hurriedly raised his hands to surrender, he had just landed, he didn't want to offend everyone, so he turned to Xiao Chong, "What about that little girl, she's going to marry Chang Qin."

Chang Qin slapped the table, "Aren't you tired?"

"Tired and tired," it seemed that he had been on the road for a few days, and he didn't know the news in time, so he said something wrong, Liang Qiu hurriedly responded, tugging on Liang Si's sleeve, and muttering, "Look, what's it like to live under the fence."

Liang Si thought to himself that it's not because your mouth is so bad that everyone hates it.

Xiao Chong rubbed his ears, "It seems like it hasn't been this lively for a long time."

"Yeah," He Hui hadn't seen this scene for a long time, and he was still a little uncomfortable, but he smiled, "But it's great to be able to get together again."

Ye Lan also secretly laughed, but halfway through the laugh, he thought of the family members in Luobei City who were still unknown, and even Liang Qiu, who could take care of them, was gone, so they...

Xiao Chong saw Ye Lan's appearance, but there was nothing he could do to comfort him for the time being, so he sighed silently.

At night, everyone lit a bonfire.

On rare occasions like this, the soldiers all sang their hometown songs around the bonfire.

The female soldiers who joined the army swarming in Niangzizhai became a new scene. Their beautiful figures dancing around the bonfire made those usually rough men a little embarrassed.

But no one dared to go up to talk to them, these girls were full of tenderness when they danced, but they were tormented enough during training.

Ye Lan leaned on Xiao Chong's shoulder, "If only I could be like this for the rest of my life."

"I thought your whole life was spent hiding in the Central Plains to keep warm in winter, and returning to the north to escape the heat in summer."

"Do you still remember?" Ye Lan smiled, this is what he said to Xiao Chong when he was too cold to go out in the winter.

"Second young master, tell you, what is life!" At that time, Ye Lan stood on the bed wrapped in a big quilt and gestured, "That is to hide in the Central Plains to keep warm in winter, and come back to escape the heat in summer!"

Xiao Chong squatted on the ground to light a brazier for him, "Okay, Second Young Master will live like this for the rest of his life."

"Yes, forever!" Ye Lan threw off the quilt excitedly, then quickly closed it, looking at Xiao Chong with trembling teeth, "This brazier is useless at all."

"I'll let you wait another winter at most." Xiao Chong said to Ye Lan, "At most."

There is an imperceptible smile on Ye Lan's mouth, as long as it is Xiao Chong's promise, there will be a day when it will be fulfilled.

However, in the dark where the bonfire could not illuminate, Cheng Yuan looked at the two of them silently, feeling a chill in his heart.

It is absolutely impossible to go on like this.

Whether it's about the future of Changling or the little master.

If one person had to be the villain, it would be him.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yuan put the jug on the ground, got up and went back to the tent.

Xiao Ao beside him noticed this, thought for a while, then stood up, and followed behind Cheng Yuan.
