My lord, wake up

"He...is he sick?"

Wei Yan shook his head, "It's said that it's the root cause of the disease from childhood, and it must sleep for ten hours every day."

"There is still such a disease?" Lu Yishui was surprised, after thinking about it, he said something more, "A Yan, I trust your judgment, but if you are really interested in him, there are some things that should be understood more clearly."

"I see."

Chen Zimu didn't have any malicious intentions, but he must have concealed something. He must have entered this barracks for some purpose. Wei Yan had been waiting for the day when he took the initiative to explain. If he didn't want to say anything, even if he asked, he would only get Perfunctory deception, it is better not to ask.

"By the way, when we were having dinner just now, someone from the kitchen asked, saying that it's New Year's Eve soon, and this war won't be over for a while. I'm afraid we can only spend this New Year's Eve this year in the camp. Do we need to prepare anything in advance?"

For the soldiers in the Zhenbei Army, they have long been used to being unable to spend various festivals with their families, but stationed in Changyu is still different from being in this simple military camp. Maybe even a decent New Year’s Eve dinner in the camp is not enough. Unable to eat or drink, the whole army must stay awake at all times to deal with the enemy's surprise attack.

"I have told Li Tu to buy some food and supplies when he comes back, but this year's border is not peaceful, many people can't farm with peace of mind, the harvest is mediocre, and I didn't inform the kitchen to list the supplies because I didn't want to burden the people any more. The food allocated by the imperial court before It's enough, let's see what Li Tu and the others can buy back, and then make plans."

"Well, in this special period, we can only temporarily wrong the soldiers." Judging from the current situation on the border, the war will definitely continue for a long time. As the main general, Wei Yan can only imagine the pressure on him.

"Go to the battalions tomorrow to calm everyone's emotions, and find a few soldiers who are good at writing and ink to write home letters for everyone, and let them send them out together."

Many children from poor families couldn't even eat, and they were sent to this military camp since they were young. Although the hardship was a little bit harsh, they still wouldn't starve to death.Therefore, most of the soldiers in the battalion had no chance to enter any school at all, and did not know a few big characters.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements early in the morning."

While the two were talking, Chen Zimu woke up on the bed. Wei Yan turned slightly to block Lu Yishui's sight, then turned his head and said, "Are you awake? Is there something wrong?"

Chen Zimu shook his head, saw the candle was burning in the tent, sat up and asked, "I'm late again? Sorry."

"I caused you not to rest enough, I should be the one to say sorry." Wei Yan took a coat from the side and put it on him.

"The general took the young master to dinner earlier, so I'll go down first."

Because Wei Yan stood in front of the bed, Chen Zimu didn't notice that there was a third person in the tent until Lu Yishui opened his mouth.

Wei Yan called to stop Lu Yishui, and waited for Chen Zimu to tidy up his clothes before he retreated to introduce them.

Since Chen Zimu came to the barracks, he has spent most of the day resting in this tent. He has met only a handful of people. Lu Yishui and Li Tu are the few generals that Wei Yan specially introduced to him. The two are Wei Yan's confidantes.

After Lu Yishui left, Wei Yan poured some hot water from the kettle, twisted a towel for Chen Zimu himself, and handed it over, and prepared tea for him to rinse his mouth. His movements were extremely natural.

Chen Zimu brushed his long hair back casually, took the towel and thought about it, then raised his head and said, "The general really doesn't have to do this for me..."

In Wei Yan's eyes, a simple action is infinitely charming, and it took a while to come back to his senses: "You treat my illness, I should take care of you in life, you don't need to have a psychological burden."

"Zimu is very grateful for being taken in by the general." Chen Zimu smiled wryly. He didn't have any psychological burden, but if he got used to this pity and intimacy at this moment, what should he do when his identity is revealed in the future.

Although Wei Yan concealed it very well, his eyes couldn't deceive anyone. The affection buried under the brown pupils seemed to become more and more obvious as time went by.

Chen Zimu is not ruthless towards Wei Yan. If the two meet and the court situation is stable and he has recovered his identity, even if there are thousands of obstacles, he is confident to break them one by one.

But now is obviously not the time to talk about love, there are rebellious officials and thieves staring at him inside, and soldiers from the Cangchuan Kingdom outside are coming at any time.

In addition, what Wei Yan saw of him was just the appearance he carefully arranged to present to the other party, not to mention far from the real Xing Chenxiu, at least there were many differences.In this case, how can he accept this affection calmly?

Wei Yan didn't understand Chen Zimu's complicated thoughts. Seeing him tidy up, he said, "Go and eat. You haven't fully recovered yet. Let the medical staff prepare another medicine in a while."

"Yeah." Chen Zimu nodded, putting aside those unclear thoughts for the time being.

During the break between the two of them eating, Wei Yan suddenly turned his head and asked, "It will be New Year's Eve soon, do you... have any plans?"

Chen Zimu paused with his chopsticks, "No."

"In a few days, the army will arrange to send letters from home. Is there anything you want to bring back to your hometown?"

Regarding the situation at home, Chen Zimu had already explained to Wei Yan, but he himself knew that what he said at the time could not completely convince Wei Yan, and it was beyond his expectation to hold back for so long to ask.

He thought he could face Wei Yan's questioning and temptation calmly, but at this time, the first thing that rose in his heart was a strange discomfort, and he said after a long time: "No, I said that my parents have passed away. "

Wei Yan looked at Chen Zimu's sinking face, he hesitated to speak, this time he didn't wait for him to ask, Chen Zimu continued, "There are many branches of our family, but there are many branches fighting each other for property, it's nothing. There is a lot of affection. Most of my close relatives think I am dead long ago, but my fourth brother treats me well, but unfortunately he is busy with important affairs now, and he doesn't care much about me."

"So in calculation, I am like a living dead in this world. I am alive, but it is as if I am dead. No one cares or cares."

Different from the last time, this time Chen Zimu expressed it in more detail and more truthfully, because the other party was Wei Yan, and he even brought a lot of emotions in it that he didn't even realize.

This kind of Chen Zimu made Wei Yan regret bringing up this question almost immediately, but when he looked again, the man had put away all the emotions in his eyes, and returned to his usual lazy and indifferent appearance.

"It's all over." Even though he felt that Chen Zimu didn't really need comfort, Wei Yan still put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and said seriously: "I will remember you in the future, and so will the wounded who have been treated by you. You can live in this army with peace of mind." Even though the living environment is a bit rough, you won’t be cold or hungry.”

Chen Zimu held his chin, leaned closer to Wei Yan, and said with a smile, "As long as the general doesn't dislike it, I'm afraid I will stay in your tent forever."

The sudden smile seemed to be a flower blooming on the already delicate face, so gorgeous that Wei Yan saw the gods.

Chen Zimu's smile became even stronger, making Wei Yan distracted, and even the most obscure place showed faint signs of responding. He adjusted his sitting posture in an instant, his whole back was stiff, and he dared not move any more. He opened his mouth to say something, and lowered his head to cover himself with the movement of eating.

The days before New Year's Eve were relatively smooth. The Cangchuan Army provoked a few incidents on a small scale, but Helian Chunfeng did not show up. Rather than talking about war, it is more appropriate to say that the other side is unilaterally provoking the Zhenbei Army .

Every time there were not many people attacking, Wei Yan led his troops to fight back for a while, and the opponent immediately retreated. After repeated several times, Li Tuxian couldn't bear it anymore, and led thousands of elite soldiers from the hussar battalion to chase them. Wei Yan stopped him, "The other party must have a backup if they provoke something like this, so be careful."

"Are they allowed to play with our army like this?" Li Tu gritted his teeth.

Noticing the movement at this end, Lu Yishui also rode forward and analyzed: "Ran Ying can't be passive forever, but he should plan well when he takes the initiative to attack. The year is approaching, and the soldiers are not interested in fighting. At this time, even if they order a strong attack, it is difficult to cheer up. Morale, it is better to wait until the next year to be fully prepared before breaking through in one fell swoop."

Both Wei Yan and Lu Yishui are more strategic than himself, Li Tu has always been aware of this, after listening to Lu Yishui's words, he managed to calm down, and nodded with an ugly expression: "Okay."

On the way back to the camp, Lu Yishui didn't speak again. Li Tu, who was walking beside him, held back for a while, but still couldn't hold back, and asked cautiously, "Yishui, are you angry with me?"

He had been living in a tent with Lu Yishui in the past, but when he came back from Changyu City, he was told that Lu Yishui had moved out because the tent was vacant now.

Li Tu was completely confused about the current situation. He thought about it and couldn't figure out where he had offended the man who was always good-tempered.

On the surface, Lu Yishui would still go to the kitchen with him for dinner, meet and greet each other on weekdays, and discuss strategic deployments as usual, nothing changed, but he just felt something different in his heart.

"Okay, why am I angry with you?" Lu Yishui answered his question by tilting his head.

Li Tu felt in a trance that Lu Yishui looked at him at this time, with a calm expression on his face, and even the curvature of his mouth seemed to be exactly the same as when they met yesterday, just right, neither faulty nor warm.

"Yi Shui, you know me... I've never been as smart as you guys, and I'm thick-hearted. If I do something wrong, you must tell me, and I will pay attention to it in the future."

"I'm really not angry." Lu Yishui pulled the rein, his expression finally changed slightly, he sighed slightly, "Ah Tu, don't think wildly, I won't be angry with you, we will always be brothers."

It's just that he needs a period of time to adjust his mentality before he can really put Li Tu back into his brother's position.

Li Tu was skeptical, and wanted to ask something, but Wei Yan, who was on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, and found an excuse to dismiss him.
