soul guide

The old woman pointed him in the direction and asked him to go to the north of the city to find the forbidden army just now. Xiao Xi hurried there. In the past, the majestic and magnificent camp, due to the endless wars in the four seas and the shortage of supplies, the tents set up with rags are more like beggars' nests. The people are lying loosely and scattered all over the place, all of them are sluggish, like a defeated rooster, full of people. With a depressed face, with this look, I'm afraid that as soon as the barbarians approach the city, the so-called emperor's imperial army will immediately disarm and surrender. How can they be expected to protect the Qin family's country, but these Xiaoxi are too lazy to worry about who is the master of Shengjing? Kyushu is a pair of virtues.

Xiaoxi took off a military uniform from a dead man's pit a few miles away, put it on, and dabbed mud on her cheeks. After dressing up, she headed for the Forbidden Army Camp. There were thousands of tents in disarray. , It is more difficult to find Shen leaning on the railing in the vast crowd than climbing to the sky. When he was so worried, he didn't look carefully at the road, and bumped into a person at one end. To apologize, only to hear the man growl impatiently, and suddenly exclaimed: "You are...Xiao Xi?!"

The voice was very familiar. Xiaoxi raised her head and saw Zhao Yi, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. He was wearing armor, and he was very majestic. Xiaoxi couldn't recognize him in this heroic appearance, and was stunned on the spot. Zhao Yi was dumbfounded at his appearance , very funny, and patted him on the shoulder, "Why, you haven't met your eldest brother since we've been apart for so many days?"

Xiaoxi nodded and shook his head quickly, his eyes were dim with excitement, he jumped on him and hugged him tightly, shouting repeatedly: "Big Brother, Big Brother, Big Brother!"

The place was messy and crowded, the two brothers reunited after a long absence, they had old stories to tell each other, they walked outside for nearly a stick of incense, and gradually moved away from the Forbidden Army camp.Zhao Yi came to Beijing with Qin Xiao, originally wanting to get rid of willow thieves and kill the common people, but he missed several times and almost implicated Qin Xiao's family. After being persuaded by everyone, Zhao Yi finally saw it better, and thought to himself that there are barbarians raging in the north outside the territory of Daxin. There are southeast rebels allied with bandits from many places to rebel, the regime in the Central Plains was despised, Daxin Jiangshan was in jeopardy, so he temporarily listened to Qin Xiao's words, Liu thief is hateful, but if he dies at this moment, it will only accelerate the collapse of the Qin family.

Nearly 20 years later, the prince of the year had long been buried in the soil, and who could remember their sins except for lonely souls?He joined the army unscrupulously, and made a lot of heroic contributions in the battle against Yuzhou. His superior general had a close friendship with him, and he saw that he was good at martial arts. He was transferred to the capital and became a general of the forbidden army.

Xiaoxi smiled when she heard it, and cheered, "Brother is amazing!"

Zhao Yi was amused by him: "Still stupid!" He stroked Xiaoxi's hair, glanced at his thin face, and said distressedly: "I haven't asked you why you came here, less..."

All the previous things made Zhao Yi shut up, Shen Pinglan had broken his friendship with him, and there was no need to ask him again, why Xiaoxi came here and dressed like this, he knew very well in his heart that he must be inseparable from Shen Pinglan.

Only then did Xiaoxi tell the whole story, but he omitted how Shen Pinglan verbally humiliated him. He said that Shen Pinglan was confused now, and he was caught here by the imperial army walking sideways if he didn't pay attention. He went around many places No one was found.

How could Zhao Yi not understand the implication, Xiaoxi looked at him pitifully, if he didn't agree to find Shen Pinglan, his big watery eyes would burst into tears immediately.

After all, it has been a friendship for so many years. Although Zhao Yi was annoyed that Shen Pinglan was ruthless to Xiaoxi, he had no prejudice against him at all. He nodded immediately. With his status, it was very easy for him to find someone. Xi first went to the inn to wait for him, Xiaoxi had a hole in the toe of her shoe, and her thumb always stuck out, and it was red from the cold.Zhao Yi took out his shriveled money bag and gave it to Xiaoxi who was reluctant to keep it, and said in a gentle voice, "Go wash it well first, then buy a new dress, stay in the inn obediently and don't run around, if someone sees you, Don't you lose the face of your elder brother?"

Xiaoxi wanted to refuse, but Zhao Yi grabbed his face, turned around and called two soldiers, and whispered a few words in their ears, the two trotted Xiaoxi on his back, no matter how much he struggled, he could not move. Let go, and didn't put him down until he was brought to the inn.

The westerly wind is shining, and the days are like ages. Xiaoxi's eyes are eager to pierce. Zhao Yi, who is about to melt into the black color, pushes the door and enters. He is almost falling asleep. Seeing the little soldier guarding the gate behind him, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief. , and took a closer look, still did not sink on the railing, "Brother?"

Zhao Yi showed a troubled expression, as if he had considered for a long time, he stammered: "He doesn't want to come with me."

Xiaoxi was stunned, "Got it."

Zhao Yi hated him the most when he felt lost and sad, so he persuaded him, "Xiaoxi, he doesn't want to see me, he doesn't want to come with me, it's not because of you..."

"Brother, I want to see him."

Zhao Yi glanced at the endlessly dark night, "It's late, let's rest, and see him tomorrow, tomorrow?"

"It's not too late!" Xiao Xi was very stubborn, "When Shen Wanxi left, his mind became more and more confused. I'm afraid that others will take the opportunity to bully him."

Zhao Yi pursed his mouth and murmured: "He doesn't care about you anymore, and you still worry about him, it's fine if he doesn't bully others."

Xiaoxi buried her head in silence, Zhao Yi finally couldn't bear it, waved his hands heavily, and compromised: "Forget it, if you want to go, go, I don't want to stop you."

Zhao Yi took the horse, put him on the horse's back, and led him towards the north of the city. There was no lamp oil in the barracks, and only a few tents shared one lamp. The dim yellow lamps were flickering. The mountains and fields, crisscrossing and criss-crossing, look a bit spectacular.

Zhao Yi led Xiaoxi to the tent where he was staying. Through the curtain, he saw a person sitting at the front of the table. When he opened the curtain, it turned out to be Shen Leaning on the railing. After going through all kinds of hardships to find him, Xiaoxi suddenly became timid and stood there. The door did not dare to recognize him.

Shen Pinglan was still writing something with a pen, and was disturbed by others, and he didn't even bother to lift his eyelids from beginning to end.With his eyes closed, he could guess who it was, and said coldly, "Are you here again?"

His cold tone made Xiaoxi regain some sense of familiarity, and he said in a low voice, "Brother, let's go home."

"Where are you going back?" Shen Pinglan asked with a sneer. When he returned to the former General's Mansion yesterday, the broken walls and ruins were covered with spider webs. People are neither humans nor ghosts, and childhood memories come one after another, making Shen Pinglan suddenly sober. He deliberately went away with his imperial army without a fight. He knew that he had failed many people and himself.As if by punishing yourself in this way, you can be redeemed.

Xiaoxi couldn't talk, there was no home, he asked Shen to go with him on the railing, where else could they go?

"Get out!" Shen leaned on the railing and gave the order to evict the guests.

Zhao Yi flashed away immediately, but Xiao Xi hesitated and refused to move.

"Why don't you go?"

"Brother, I, you—"

"Tell me something!" Shen Pinglan slammed his pen on the table with a dark face.

"You are sick, you are not well yet, and you need medicine. We had no money a few days ago. Now that you have Brother Zhao, you don't have to worry about getting medicine and seeing a doctor..." Xiaoxi said happily, but she was expressionless because of Shen Leaning on the railing. face and gradually lowered his voice.

"Are you finished?"

"Say, it's over."

"Then you go, never appear in front of me again!"

"Brother, I'm leaving, what do you do?"

Shen Pinglan laughed, "You think I'm as useless as you?"

Xiao Xi nodded, "I see, my brother will take care of me, I think my brother seems to be much better than before, so I don't need Xiao Xi to worry about it."

"..."

"Brother, take care, Xiaoxi is leaving now."

He stepped out of the threshold, paused before going out, and looked at Shen Pinglan unwillingly, but Shen Pinglan didn't give him half a sympathy, as if he didn't exist and didn't care where he went, he was so determined, How could Xiaoxi stay there any longer.After leaving the tent, Xiaoxi went back to the inn to rest for a night, during which Zhao Yi kept persuading him to look away, Xiaoxi dozed off when he heard it, Zhao Yi saw that he was sleepy, so he was sorry to disturb him, he was busy all day, He was also very tired, remembering that he hadn't seen Qin Xiao for a long time, and that he was bored in the mansion alone, so he suggested that Xiao Xi go to live with him temporarily tomorrow, and let him not worry about Shen Lean's words, and live with them from now on However, Xiao Xi couldn't hold back his enthusiasm, so he had no choice but to agree, Zhao Yi nodded in satisfaction, and repeatedly told him to go when he left.

The next day, Xiaoxi went to see Qin Xiao, but he didn't change much, he was still the same as before, acting impetuously and having a noisy personality. When he saw Xiaoxi coming, he jumped up and down for joy, not at all adult-like.Qin Xiao heard what Zhao Yi said about him last night, he didn't know how to persuade others, he simply pretended nothing happened, and dragged Xiaoxi around the capital.
