The next day, early in the morning, they broke camp and set off. Seeing Lin Wanrong riding alone at the front, his head drooping and his expression listless, and the dark circles under his eyes seemed to have increased dramatically overnight, Hu Bugui could not help but pull Gao Qiu to his side, and pointed to General Lin's back. "Brother Gao, look, what's wrong with the general? Wasn't he fine last night?! "
Old Gao blinked his eyes, an equally puzzled expression on his face. "Eh? Could it be that he failed last night? That's not right, last night he and Yueya were laughing so happily, they were in the heat of love, we all heard it with our own ears, how could he have failed — — he should have lost his virginity!!!
Hearing him mention Yueya, Old Hu could not help but look toward the exquisite carriage in the middle. The curtain of the carriage was slightly lifted, revealing the figure of a Turkic girl. She had a graceful figure, a pretty face, and a pair of deep, pale blue eyes. There was even a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. She was as demure as water, calm and composed.
The young girl Yujia was holding a small and exquisite curved knife, carefully carving the bamboo tube of the jade reed in her hand. From time to time she would put the jade reed to her lips, blowing a few cheerful notes. Under her curved eyebrows, her long eyelashes trembled from time to time, and there was a faint smile in her eyes, exceptionally sweet.
Seeing this, Hu Bugui could not help but be puzzled. Was this still a captive? Why was she more leisurely than drinking tea in a teahouse?
Comparing the expressions of Lin Wanrong and Yueya, one was depressed like a rotten dead tree, while the other was as cheerful as a gorgeous spring flower, it was as if their relationship had been completely reversed. It was indescribably strange.
Gao Qiu looked for a long while, then suddenly clapped his hands. "Not good, Old Hu. Things are not good. "
Hu Bugui exclaimed, "What's not good?"
Gao Qiu mysteriously glanced around and sighed, "Brother Lin, what you told us yesterday was nothing but big talk. From the looks of it, it was most likely not that he had settled the Turkic woman, but that Turkic woman had settled him. "
Old Gao had been with Lin Wanrong for a long time, so he had learned 60% to 70% of Lin Wanrong's tone. The word "done" was clear, easy to remember, and catchy. He had also learned to use it flexibly.
"It can't be." Hu Bugui was greatly shocked. "General Lin is the most charming man in China. He had drowned three thousand times and seen countless women. He can be said to be impervious to fire and water, how could he be defeated by a Hu woman?! This is unbelievable. "
Old Gao let out a long sigh. "Why is it impossible? As the saying goes, a crab will eventually return to the water and die, and a general will inevitably perish in battle. Brother Lin has worked hard all his life and has picked countless flowers. Even if he were to fall in the field of flowers, it is not a big deal. "
The two of them guessed for a long time, but the more they talked, the more afraid they became. If General Lin really couldn't control himself and married into the grasslands, then not to mention this lone army that had gone deep into the grasslands, even the two princesses, Miss Xu, and even the whole of China would be finished.
The two of them looked at each other, seeing the incomparable fear and panic in each other's eyes, as if the end of the world had come.
"Jia — —" Finally unable to bear it any longer, Old Gao and Old Hu let out a long roar and cracked their whip on the horse's rear. The horse galloped and chased after General Lin.
The Turkic girl who was leisurely fiddling with the jade reed slightly raised her eyes, gazing at the three horses that were gradually converging in front of her. The corners of her mouth could not help but curl, a faint sneer appearing in her eyes.
As the army marched at dawn, the eastern grasslands revealed a faint hint of white, but the vast sky was still dark. Lin Wanrong had just yawned when he heard the sound of hooves behind him. Hu Bugui and Gao Qiu hurriedly caught up to him, riding side by side with him, one on the left and one on the right, surrounding him in the middle.
"Eh, you two brothers seem to be in a good mood, to have gotten up so early to race horses?!" Lin Wanrong waved his hand with a smile.
Old Gao gave Hu Bugui a meaningful glance. Old Hu clenched his teeth and said, "General, there is something that I don't understand, it's about this jade reed — —
"Jade reed?!" Lin Wanrong's complexion changed, an awkward expression on his face. "For no reason, why did brother Hu mention her?"
Hu Bugui examined the general's expression as he said, "I wonder what the result of your conversation with her last night was, will you marry into her family — — cough, cough, what I mean is, will you give her a deeper blow?!"
A deeper blow?! Could it be that my current level is not deep enough? Lin Wanrong sighed, shaking his head. "Brother Hu, brother Gao, you've come at the right time. Regarding this crescent moon, I only have one thing to say — —
Just one thing?! Old Hu and Old Gao looked at each other in dismay. Brother Lin wouldn't really have been won over by this Turkic girl, right? Gao Qiu reacted faster, hurriedly saying, "Brother Lin, what do you want to say, just say it. Don't worry, we're already mentally prepared, we can withstand it. "
After saying these words, he let out a long breath, his mood much more relaxed. Hu Bugui and Gao Qiu were dumbfounded. Was it really so exaggerated? Wasn't it just a little Turkic girl, how did she become a scourge in General Lin's eyes?
"You don't believe me?! I knew you wouldn't believe me! "Lin Wanrong shook his head with a bitter smile." If it was yesterday, I also wouldn't believe it, but reality is so cruel. Think about it, such a beautiful girl, what can we do to her if she falls into our hands? As long as Little Li-zi doesn't wake up, we can't beat her, we can't scold her, we can't kill her, we have to feed her well, and even chasing her away has become an extravagant hope. To put it bluntly, if she wants to plot against us, she can do it a hundred times. If we want to plot against her, there's no way at all. "
Lin Wanrong was heartbroken and indignant. He had never had such a profound understanding of what it meant by 'it's easy to invite in the devil, but difficult to send away the devil.'
"Oh, so that's how it is." Old Gao and Old Hu let out a long 'oh' sound, but laughed heartily, without the slightest hint of worry. Whether Crescent Moon was easy to serve or not was not a problem they cared about. As long as Brother Lin was not taken care of by this Turkic girl, then everything was fine. As for how to deal with Crescent Moon, with Brother Lin's ability, who would believe that he did not have a way? He was being modest.
"Hey, brothers, are you listening to me or not?! Don't you know how powerful this crescent moon is?! "Looking at the two of them, they laughed lewdly. General Lin couldn't help roaring, not the slightest bit worried about his future. It was precisely because of his sorrow for his misfortune and anger that he did not strive.
Gao Qiu hurriedly nodded. "Brother Lin, in fact, we think so. With Little Li's injuries, he cannot leave Crescent Moon. There's no other way, we can only tie her up and travel with us. This girl, she has a few tricks, but just as you said yesterday, no matter how powerful she is, she is always in our grasp. At worst, we can just drug her, and you won't be at a disadvantage. "
"Right, right," Old Hu continued. "There's another important point. Brother Gao and I both feel that this Yu Jia's status among the Turks is not low. If we bring her with us, at a critical moment, she might be of great use. This is also for the safety of our brothers. "
The two of them echoed each other. Although they did not deliberately want to keep Crescent Moon, their meaning was clear. Yu Jia was Little Li's savior, and it was impossible to drive her away. Rather than thinking of ways to drive her away, it was better to think of how to conquer her. That was the best plan.
Among the three. The one who had the most contact with Yu Jia was Lin Wanrong, and he was also the one who understood the power of the Turkic girl the best.
In the present situation, Crescent Moon was as mysterious as the moon in the sky, and no one knew of her origins. But with her understanding of the Chinese language and medicine, no one would believe that she had never heard of Lin Wanrong's name. In the conversation last night, the Turkic girl's wit was ever-changing. When she did not speak, it was fine, but when she did, she went straight for the heart. It was as if she had targeted Lin Wanrong's weakness, accurate and ruthless.
One in the dark, one in the light. Before I have even done anything, I have already lost half the battle. How can I fight this battle?! After a moment of silence, Lin Wanrong shook his head with a bitter smile. "Brother Gao, brother Hu, bringing this Yu Jia along is no different from asking a tiger for its skin!"
Gao Qiu grunted and said with a smile, "What's there to be afraid of? No matter how powerful this tiger is, she is still a female insect. Old Hu and I have confidence in you, brother. Just do what you need to do. "
It seemed like there really was no way out. Lin Wanrong raised his head to look at the carriage. The curtains were rolled up, and the Turkic girl was squatting on the floor of the carriage, carefully picking up medicinal herbs. She lightly hummed a grassland tune that Lin Wanrong could not understand, and her face, which was covered by a thin veil, would occasionally reveal a smile like that of a spring flower. It was extremely beautiful.
When she was having fun, she grabbed a few handfuls of medicinal herbs and lightly scattered them on the floor of the carriage. They piled up into two small Chinese characters, but it was her name — 'Yu Jia'. The Turkic girl nodded her head in satisfaction, and took out a small and exquisite golden scabbard from somewhere. The scabbard shone with golden light and was incomparably valuable. Yu Jia placed the golden scabbard under her name, and after a few careful glances, her face flushed red. She could not help but lightly bite her lips, and then smiled.
Her every movement was like a gentle breeze on the grassland, pure and natural, pure and flawless. At this moment, Crescent Moon was the most innocent of Turkic girls, and no one would be able to connect her with the incomparably fierce Yu Jia from last night. Hu Bugui muttered, "To think that there would be such a pure and cute girl on the grassland?! I've truly broadened my horizons. "
Cute? Thinking back to Yu Jia's actions last night, Lin Wanrong found it impossible to equate this Turkic girl with the word cute. Not saying that she was hateful was already praising her.
Yu Jia seemed to sense that someone was looking at her. She slowly raised her head, and a brilliant smile bloomed on her face, her eyes as deep as water.
"Damn it." Old Gao could not help but grab Hu Bugui's shoulder, viciously saying, "A calamity, a calamity that can bring ruin to a country and its people! Brother Lin, I represent the people of China to urge you to recover this calamity, and raise the might of China. "
Seeing the Turkic girl's watery eyes, Lin Wanrong's heart thumped several times, and a phrase involuntarily floated into his mind — walking with a tiger!
In the distance, a steed shot over like an arrow, and a scout's shout resounded over the grassland. "Report — urgent military news!" The Turkic steed was drenched from head to toe, and the rider's face was covered in dust, sweat pouring down like rain as he charged toward the center of the army.
Gao Qiu rushed forward, grabbing onto the galloping steed. The steed let out a long neigh, and then steadied itself. The scout got off the saddle, but his knees buckled, and he fell forward in exhaustion.
Hu Bugui anxiously shouted, stepping forward to steady him, "Don't panic, General Lin is here, if there is any military news, quickly report it to me."
The scout panted, "Reporting to General, something bad has happened. The twenty thousand Turks that were originally heading toward Bayanhaote suddenly changed their route this morning, and are heading southwest toward our army. Their vanguard is still more than two hundred and fifty kilometers away from our army. "
"What? How is this possible?! "Hu Bugui and Gao Qiu jumped in shock," How did the Hu know we were here? Did you make a mistake?! "
"Reporting to General, it's absolutely true!!!" The scout anxiously said, "There are still three groups of brothers hiding in the front, and there will be news in an hour."
It seemed like it was not false. Old Hu's face was aghast, and he turned to Lin Wanrong, "General, how is this possible?! Why would the Hu suddenly turn around?! "
Lin Wanrong's eyes flashed, and he suddenly turned to look at Yu Jia's carriage. The curtain had already been silently lowered. Crescent Moon's silhouette was indistinctly discernible. The silence in the carriage was somewhat eerie.
"Wait for me!!!" Lin Wanrong roared, slapping his horse's rump, and the Turkic steed galloped straight toward the exquisite carriage.
"Ah — what are you doing?!" Amidst Yu Jia's scream, the curtain had already been pulled aside by Lin Wanrong. He leapt in, and with a swish of his saber, he slashed at Crescent Moon's head.
