After Li Yao heard this, he originally wanted to find herbs while going back alone, but after hearing Qi Muye's remarks, he said decisively: "I won't dump you, let's go find herbs together."

This was undoubtedly a love story in Qi Muye's ears. He took Li Yao's hand and was ready to go to work. His spiritual perception had increased a lot, and he could easily find the herbal medicine according to Li Yao's description.

Li Yao finally shook off his hand, faced Qi Muye with a slightly shocked expression, and said in an orderly tone: "Pick herbs with your two hands, don't pull me."

Qi Muye asked back: "Didn't you say you won't dump me?"

Li Yao: "I'll hit you."

Qi Muye: "..." He had no choice but to bow his head and work resignedly.

The two picked some herbs and returned to the resting place of the army smoothly. Everyone was relieved to see that they had returned safely.

Next, Li Yao made some medicinal juice and gave it to some soldiers. Like Qi Muye, the symptoms were relieved after a while, and then he organized more soldiers to pick medicinal herbs around, preparing to break out from the mountain forest.

Herbal medicine can only cure the root cause but not the symptoms, but it is enough for the soldiers to go out of the mountain forest after relieving the symptoms, as long as they leave the miasma in the mountain forest, and then treat them.

So after they stayed in the forest for a few more days, they came out of the forest smoothly! !

The soldiers guarding outside the forest immediately notified the captain. The captain couldn't believe it. Even the locals were so taboo and didn't dare to enter the death zone at will, so many soldiers could be brought out completely. This is simply incredible. Unheard of.

But this time the 1 soldiers led by Li Yao still lost almost [-] people, and the remaining soldiers were a little exhausted. They had to be glad that General Chen hadn't arrived at this time, otherwise they might not be able to cope with it in their state. One challenge.

Qi Muye and Li Yao led the army and simply stationed in the nearest city in Xunnan, while allowing the soldiers to recover their vitality, they could discuss the plan to fight the enemy's army.

Two days later, General Chen's army arrived in Xunnan. His army encountered road conditions and was delayed for a long time. However, according to the report of the informant a few days ago, he knew that the famous army in the Zhennan Army was a few days ago. The army led by General Li has been lured into the depths of the forest by Deputy General Wang. If there is no accident, they should not be able to come out in a short time. Even if they can come out, the soldiers are exhausted. They can easily catch them all.

It was precisely because of his negligence that he underestimated the enemy, they were ambushed by soldiers hidden in the thick fog just as they passed the ancient official road to the capital of Xunnan! ! !

When he finally fled in embarrassment, he was chased by cavalry and crossbowmen, and the army was in a mess. The cavalry he had trained for many days was not as strong as the cavalry in Zhennan, so he was easily knocked off his horse, and soon even himself was shot. He shot several arrows and died on the way out of Xunnan.

In the battle of Xunnan, he returned with a big victory.

In Xunnan Capital City, everyone calls it the Zhennan Iron Army. The hell army that came out of the miasma that everyone is afraid of has left a prescription to cure the miasma. The people are grateful and praise it. wind.

After leaving an army to occupy the capital of Xunnan, Li Yao and Qi Muye led the troops back to the capital they had previously guarded.

On the way back, I got the situation of the Gaonan Plain reported by the scouts.

Just when Qi Muye entered the mountains, the war between the two parties in the Gaonan Plain had reached a fever pitch, but in the end the battle on the plain was narrowly won by the Zhennan Army, leaving [-] soldiers, while the imperial army surrendered [-] soldiers, and there were no generals. Sacrifice, Qi Muye was relieved.

He would rather his intuition be wrong than the facts to prove how accurate his intuition is.

Li Yao asked one more question: "Is there really no problem?"

The scout didn't know what this meant, but said: "The battlefield ahead is indeed so rewarding."

Li Yao didn't ask too much anymore.

Those were his comrades in arms, and he naturally didn't want anyone to be sacrificed, but if it really happened, it would be an unavoidable thing to face.

After all, war is accompanied by death, which is an indisputable fact that needs to be faced.

According to the original plan, if this war was won, Song Ruyu should have led the soldiers to continue south, and Li Yao would join him at that time, but shortly after Li Yao and Qi Muye returned to the city, the scouts reported to Song Ruyu The [-] soldiers he led returned.

This made Qi Muye very puzzled. According to Song Ruyu's temperament, after winning the war, he should take advantage of the high morale and go all the way south. How could he bring soldiers back?

But the scouts reported that the remaining tens of thousands of troops had indeed marched south, but the leader was Fan Yizhi, the left forward general.

All this was too abnormal, until the army arrived dozens of miles outside the city gate, Qi Muye and Li Yao climbed up the wall to look, and saw all the soldiers lined up in the wind and sand coming towards the city gate. The momentum of returning triumphantly added a little bit of bleakness, but among the cavalry, there was only the bold and bold man sitting on the horse's head and waving at them as if showing off.

Qi Muye had a bad premonition, and couldn't help looking at Li Yao. Li Yao's eyes remained on the approaching army, his expression remained unchanged, and there was an air of indifference in the face of death.

Li Yao said, "Let's go, let's go down. They're almost there."

When the army entered the city and the generals came to report to Qi Muye, except for Fan Yizhi who continued to lead the troops south, the other school lieutenants and cavalry governors were all there, except Song Ruyu.

Qi Muye frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "Where is General Song? Did he lead the troops south with General Fan? Why didn't the scouts report?"

"This..." The generals looked at each other, and finally looked at Gu Xianshu who was standing in the front.

Gu Xianshu's expression was indifferent, his eyes seemed to be relieved after undergoing a great change, and he bowed to Qi Muye apologetically, even so, his voice was still trembling slightly, and said: "Ruyu...he is dead."

Everyone bowed their heads involuntarily, showing sadness on their faces.Especially the bandits who were personal guards, a group of elders clenched their fists and endured the huge pain for many days, but their eye circles were red, and there were faint tears in their eyes.

"What's going on?!!" After reacting, Qi Muye asked the group of people in front of him angrily, "Didn't the scouts report that General Song was fine? Why did you tell me he was dead?!"

"This is Ruyu's meaning. He told the scouts not to report his injuries, so we all kept it a secret. He thought it was just a minor injury this time, and he thought he would recover as usual, but he never thought..." Speaking of this , Gu Xianshu couldn't continue speaking, his throat was bitter, and after so many days, he still couldn't really accept the fact that his best friend who grew up together had left.

There was a faint choking sound among the bandits, each of them was a tall and burly man with thick beard stubble piled up all over his face, his eyes were wide open, and the red eye sockets were constantly wet with tears beard, and from time to time someone raised their sleeves to wipe their tears.

Only Zhang Fu, who stood at the back, stood upright, with his head slightly lowered, his hands clenched tightly, no tears on his face, and he was still silent, but this time the silence was different from usual, the veins on the back of his hands burst out, Hiding uncontrollable emotions, when he was in a state of grief, he suddenly said: "Yes..."

"No one wants this to happen, let me go into the room and tell you more about it." Gu Xianshu said suddenly.

Qi Muye nodded heavily. Although there was a feud between him and Song Ruyu, Song Ruyu was undoubtedly a general. He also felt extremely sad when he heard the news, let alone these bandits.

So he understood that the purpose of Gu Xianshu's going into the room for a detailed discussion was to stop touching the wounds of these bandits.

After closing the door, there were only Gu Xianshu, Qi Muye, and Li Yao.

Qi Muye asked: "What's going on?"

Gu Xianshu glanced at the two people present, his voice was as calm as water, and he said slowly: "Actually, I don't know the specific situation very well. After the army arrived in the Gaonan Plain, I was exhausted due to the long-term journey and I was not acclimatized to the environment, so I stayed in the In the camp and did not go to the battlefield..."

When Song Ruyu led the army to the Gaonan Plain, the Gu Xianshu who followed him was not a regular martial arts practitioner after all. After arriving at the camp near the Gaonan Plain, he was exhausted. Almost went.

Seeing this, Song Ruyu only advised him to stay in the camp and take a good rest, while he and Fan Yizhi deployed the army to line up. Even though he was wounded, he was still busy at night, and even Gu Xianshu who was in the camp did not see him a few times.

On the eve of the war, Gu Xianshu regained his vitality a little bit, and after learning about Song Ruyu's battle plan, he realized that this battle was quite profitable. Although the number of soldiers and horses on both sides was larger than in previous wars, he was not too nervous and felt that It was nothing more than a slightly larger battle.

At that time, he hadn't thought about the possibility of Song Ruyu's death. In his subconscious mind, Song Ruyu had been superior in martial arts since he was a child, and he had the strongest arms among a group of children when he was a child. Even if a person is beaten away, even if he is injured, he can still fight back bravely.

It is the same in the hearts of all the bandits. Song Ruyu is the most powerful leader in the Pegasus Village, the pillar that supports the entire village. Block out all wind and rain.

So after Song Ruyu told the lie that the wound on his back had healed, the bandits had no doubts at all. They all thought that Song Ruyu would recover quickly, and then show his heroic figure of killing the enemy on the battlefield.

After Gu Xianshu heard the news of victory in the camp, before he had time to be happy, he saw Fan Yizhi returning with Song Ruyu covered in blood.

When the doctor took off Song Ruyu's armor and tried his best to stop Song Ruyu's bleeding, he saw that the solid and broad back was bloody and bloody, and two clear scars could be vaguely seen, one was still bleeding and the knife wound was deep enough to see the bones. Stretching from the shoulder to the side of the waist, it is obviously a new wound received on the battlefield, and there is also an old wound that has not healed, which is also terrible, intersecting with the new knife wound, and it is also bleeding at this moment. The water in the water has turned into bright red blood, and Song Ruyu's wound is still bleeding, which makes people gasp.

"What's going on here?!" Seeing this situation, Gu Xianshu questioned the bandits responsible for protecting Song Ruyu.

The bandits lowered their heads, obviously feeling very uncomfortable. Zhao Yuan, who was always in charge of beating the front, had red eyes and blamed himself, "It's all because I didn't protect the big boss well. I knew that the big boss was still injured, but I was stalked by the enemy." Have I stayed by his side all the time? If I had known this, I would have tried my best to stop the opponent's coach from slashing at the boss!!"

Only then did he realize that Song Ruyu had gone to the battlefield with injuries, and the bandits obeyed Song Ruyu's order and were responsible for hiding it from him.

The thieves just thought they were in a cottage, helping Song Ruyu to hide his whereabouts when he skipped class. At most, they were punished for endorsement after being discovered by Gu Xianshu, and nothing happened after Gu Xianshu's anger subsided after a few days.

Who knows, this time is different.

They will no longer be able to drink the wine that the big boss treats them afterwards, and they will never see the big boss beat them with his fists unbearably.

But this time, Gu Xianshu no longer punished them for copying books, but just kept silent for a long time, watching Song Ruyu bleeding profusely in the camp without saying a word, which made them feel more uncomfortable than punishing them for copying books.

Zhang Fu, who became more restrained and reticent, stood outside the tent and watched Song Ruyu's wound being bandaged. His body remained motionless, without changing his posture, like a stone statue.

Seeing Zhang Fu's rare expression of true feelings, Gu Xianshu felt that he was really worried about Song Ruyu. Seeing him standing all night, he advised him to rest first or go into the camp and wait for Song Ruyu to wake up, but Zhang Fu didn't say a word, neither He went to rest and refused to step into the tent, as if he was afraid of something, finally shook his head and said hoarsely, "...I'm watching outside."

Gu Xianshu tried a few more words of persuasion, but Zhang Fu refused to speak, and stood silently looking at Song Ruyu who was still sleeping inside.

And after Fan Yizhi carried Song Ruyu back to the tent, he didn't leave the tent until the bleeding from Song Ruyu's wound stopped to deal with matters such as cleaning the battlefield after the victory of the war. He stopped and glanced at Zhang Fu outside the tent. Zhang Fu also turned his head and looked at him, clenched his hanging hand slightly, and then looked away.And Fan Yizhi's eyes became colder, and for a moment there was murderous intent emerging in him, but he didn't say anything after all.

Song Ruyu woke up, her face was pale, but she was still conscious. The first thing she did was to ask Fan Yizhi if he ordered the scouts not to report his injury.

Fan Yizhi pursed her lips, even though she didn't agree with Song Ruyu's actions, she still said, "...No."

Song Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief, with a familiar smile on her lips, as if comforting the bandits, and said, "I can survive no matter how many fights, and I can continue to go south after resting for a few days from this injury."

Hearing that Song Ruyu was so energetic, everyone couldn't help but relax their tense nerves. Zhang Fu's eyes outside Lianying's tent lit up instantly, and the boss will really be fine.

Gu Xianshu's hanging heart calmed down a little, and he still persuaded Song Ruyu: "You have a good rest, and you will leave the matter of going south to General Fan. When your injury recovers, we will return to the city."

Fan Yizhi saw that the atmosphere in front of him was harmonious, but he just kept silent, unable to bear to break the atmosphere in front of him.

But then Song Ruyu developed a high fever, and the high fever persisted for a long time. The conditions in the camp were limited, and the doctors were helpless. During the period, he woke up a few times, but most of them were in a coma. Occasionally, he could say a few words with Gu Xianshu and then fell into a deep sleep Gu Xianshu could only softly call his name over and over again to make sure that Song Ruyu was still alive.

A few days later, Song Ruyu was awake for a long time, and his mind returned to the state when he first woke up, and he could still joke with Gu Xianshu. Seeing his hearty smile again, all the bandits were very happy, thinking that Song Ruyu was getting better soon.

The smile on Gu Xianshu's face was a little stiff, only he knew that it didn't mean that his condition was getting better, it was more likely that it was... just a flashback.

Song Ruyu asked Gu Xianshu to call Fan Yizhi, screened everyone away, and chatted with Fan Yizhi alone for a long time.

After Fan Yizhi came out of the camp, his eyes glanced over Zhang Fu who was standing under the cover of bandits intentionally or unintentionally. Zhang Fu's eyes were fixed on the camp all the time. When he saw Fan Yizhi coming out, his eyes froze, his eyes were a little dark, and he quickly moved away. , Continue to pay attention to the situation of the tent wholeheartedly.

And the next one was Gu Xianshu going in.

As Gu Xianshu expected, what Song Ruyu said to him was nothing more than entrusting the entire cottage to him.

"From now on, you will be the head of the family. How about it? Are you happy? In this way, you will be the biggest in the cottage! From now on, everyone will listen to your orders to study, and I will never go against you again." Song Ruyu laughed Brilliant, but his face was bloodless, as pale as paper, and his eyes were no longer as bright as they were before, showing fatigue.

Gu Xianshu's face was ashen, his eyes were slightly red, he sneered, and said mercilessly: "When did I promise you? Don't make any claims!! The boss has to rob every day, so I won't be such a tiresome person What a job!! The people in the cottage only recognize you, and you will go back after your injury is healed!"

"Well, I want to go back too...but..." Song Ruyu's eyes dimmed, she held her spirits up, and continued to joke: "When the war is over, the cottage will no longer need to rob to make a living, everyone will go to Yanjing, you won't be too Tired. Next, going south should be too much of a hindrance, so my father can rest in peace, and our cottage finally washed his hands as he wished, which is something to be happy about."

Gu Xianshu felt sore in his throat and couldn't speak for a moment, he just said: "Let's go to Yanjing with the whole village."

"You're so smart, you should have known." Song Ruyu lowered her voice, "...I can't go."

"Don't say stupid things..."

"So you have to promise me that you must arrange the Pegasus Village properly, and Uncle Zhong, he is old and can't stand the blow, you can hide it if you can, and if you can't hide it, you can say it euphemistically, so that he can have peace of mind Get ready." Song Ruyu babbled about the cottage, in the past, he was tired of explaining these trifles, but he got tired soon after talking, panting slightly, and he was no longer the one who single-handedly held a handle on the battlefield. The man who swept away thousands of troops with a long sword.

Gu Xianshu listened quietly, and said, "...Is there anything you want to accomplish?"

"There is one thing..." Song Ruyu's tone contained obvious disappointment, "It's better to say it's regret..."

It's just a pity that I couldn't see Li Yao in the end, and I don't know if he is okay in the city or if he has already led the troops to fight.However, if he led troops into battle and didn't know about himself, it shouldn't affect him.

That's it.

Gu Xianshu has always known Song Ruyu, seeing his lonely expression, he knew what he was thinking, and promised in a low voice: "...I will tell him."

Song Ruyu shook her head, and wrote lightly: "No need. The dead are gone, the living are like this, why bother."

If it was normal, Gu Xianshu would definitely be happy to hear Song Ruyu speak elegant words accurately, but now he is extremely sad in his heart.

This meant that he really couldn't keep this person.

Song Ruyu tried her best to keep her spirits up and restrained her drowsiness. Knowing that his time was running out, she tried her best to wake up for the last time, and said, "Let Zhang Fu come in."

Gu Xianshu's expression froze, he vaguely knew some of the inside information.

"Okay." However, in the end, he decided to agree to Song Ruyu's request unconditionally.

That night, General Song, the right forward of the Zhennan Army Cavalry Battalion, was injured and died in a camp sixty miles away from the Gaonan Plain.

Afterwards, Gu Xianshu couldn't let go of it. If he had found out that Song Ruyu was wounded and went to the battlefield, he would have told the bandits to protect Song Ruyu, and perhaps such a thing would not have happened.

If he had been more careful back then, everything would have been different.

"You don't have to blame yourself too much, it's not your fault." Qi Muye comforted Gu Xianshu.

But the consolation of others is useless. If I can't think about it, I will always be with him for the rest of my life.

"Where is his dead body?" A cold voice rang out, Li Yao's face was as usual, as if the grief outside had nothing to do with him, and he was always so calm that it was outrageous.

"Because of the urgency of time, I temporarily buried it on the hillside of Gaonan." Gu Xianshu actually didn't want to do this, but it was just a helpless move.

Li Yao nodded, expressing his understanding.

"Send him back."

"What?" Both of them looked at him together.

"He should want to go back, right? That should be Xuanhu Mountain? He told me that he grew up near there." Li Yao said, "He said that he would be buried there after his death."

That was four years ago, when Li Yao was snatched back to Feima Village, after drinking, Song Ruyu came to talk about the place of burial after death.

Li Yao said that it doesn't matter where he dies, anyway, he has no consciousness after death and will not feel comfortable or uncomfortable.

Song Ruyu laughed out loud after hearing this, thinking that Li Yao hadn't grown up, so she talked nonsense. At that time, she thought Li Yao's words were especially cute and childish.

"You're still young, you'll know when you grow up. If I die, I'll be buried on these mountains," he said with his eyes bright as stars, "Loyal bones are buried in Qingshan."

However, he forgot that there was still a shroud of horse leather behind him.

"I think so too..." Gu Xianshu thought for a moment, and said to Li Yao, "Perhaps this request is a bit too much... After all the wars are over, I hope you will pick him up."

"Is it okay?" He prayed to Li Yao as he did four years ago.

He hoped to fulfill Song Ruyu's last wish.

Qi Muye also looked at Li Yao, and smiled when he saw Li Yao simply nodded in agreement.

What he loves is exactly this kind of him. Sometimes he is unfeeling too much. In fact, the soft place in his heart is just buried deeper.

When Gu Xianshu left the room, all the bandits had already been dismissed by him, and there was one person who stayed where he was waiting for him.

Seeing him coming out, Zhang Fu took a few steps closer to him, stopped, and said hesitantly but firmly: "Second leader..."

"Don't mention it again." Gu Xianshu interrupted him, stared straight into his eyes, clenched and loosened his fists, and whispered as he passed by Zhang Fu:

"...you just need to remember what he said that night..."

What about that night?

Zhang Fu's eyes turned red instantly, and after Gu Xianshu left, he stubbornly swallowed all his voice back to his throat, but his clothes were wet with tears.

The words of that night are still in my ears.

"...Don't worry about it, just let go of the past..."
