The horse trotted in the deep mountains. It didn't run very fast. Because it was night, she couldn't see clearly. He Yan felt that it was a pity. It wasn't easy for her to ride Green Ear, but she didn't experience the legendary "crossing mountains and treading water as if it were flat ground".
It was really a loss.
Starlight and moonlight seeped through the branches and leaves of the forest. He Yan rode on the horse and finally had the mood to look at the surrounding scenery. Looking around, she saw a wolf lying on the ground not far away. It must be dead.
She was surprised for a moment. She took a few more steps forward and saw another wolf corpse.
After seeing about three such wolf corpses, He Yan sensed that this was not a coincidence. She swallowed her saliva and asked carefully, "Xiao … Commander in Chief, did you do all these?"
"Since I met them on the road, I killed them. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to follow them all the way." He replied.
He Yan sighed in his heart. Look, as expected of a young killer. Just a word of disagreement and he started a massacre. No wonder they didn't encounter any wild wolves along the way. It turned out that the more courageous ones were all killed by Xiao Jue. She looked at the wolf corpses again. They were all killed with a sword. The wounds were very small and very precise.
Her gaze moved down slightly and landed on the sword on Xiao Jue's waist. Everyone knew that General Fengyun had a famous horse and a treasured sword. The horse was called Green Ear, and the sword was called Autumn Drinker. Her Qinglang Sword was glowing with a green light and could cut iron like mud. It was rumored that Autumn Drinker was sparkling and translucent, like frost and snow. Autumn Drinker was now on Xiao Jue's waist. The sword was not out of its scabbard, so nothing could be seen.
These wolves must have died under Autumn Drinker's sword. Since ancient times, treasured swords were given to heroes. He Yan felt that she could be considered a hero. When she saw a treasured sword, she couldn't help but want to touch it.
She quietly reached out and touched behind her back.
Suddenly, she felt the body under her hand stiffen. He Yan immediately let go and shouted, "I didn't mean to touch your waist. I just wanted to touch your sword!"
After a while, she heard the angry voice of someone behind her. "You don't have to speak."
"I'll be bored to death if I don't talk," He Yan said. "Commander in chief, you don't have to be so serious." She said, "Look, you killed so many wolves, but you didn't take them away. In the end, these wolves were taken advantage of by the foxes in the mountains. Not to mention the meat, the wolf's skin was the best. The fur of the one I killed was incomplete and could only be used to make boots. But the few you killed didn't damage their fur, it's enough to make a cloak. However, the wolf fur cloak doesn't suit you. Presumably, the material of your clothes is more precious. Why not let me take advantage of it? In winter, I have a wolf fur cloak, and I can roll in the snow. "
Xiao Jue seemed to be confused by her nonsense. He actually continued her words, although his tone was not very good. He curled his lips and said sarcastically, "You like wolf skin so much. No wonder you didn't even let go of the dead wolf in the pit."
"That's not it. I'm just too cold." He Yan shook his head. "Governor loves cleanliness and doesn't like dirt. He can't tolerate the blood of animals staining his clothes. We're different. Not to mention dead wolves, I've even slept in a pile of corpses. "
After a moment of silence, Xiao Jue asked, "When?"
"It was when I was young. I don't remember it clearly." He Yan looked at the stars in the sky. "At that time, I had no choice but to save my life. So what if it was a pile of corpses. After all, I was the only one who survived. "
She thought that Xiao Jue would ask her what happened and was prepared to make up a story. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jue didn't ask, so her prepared story fell through.
He Yan's thoughts went back to the past.
Not long after she arrived at the Mo County, a group of Fuyue Army recruits encountered the Xi Qiang people at the edge of the desert.
They were all recruits and didn't know how to fight. They just relied on their blood. But their blood was quickly dispersed by the Xi Qiang people's savagery. In the end, the small group of recruits was completely wiped out.
He Yan was also seriously injured at that time, but she didn't die. She hid under the corpses and still had a breath left. The Xi Qiang people set the corpses on fire and left. At that time, He Yan thought that she was doomed and would die in this desert.
But God didn't let her die. It suddenly rained in the middle of the road and the rain extinguished the flames on the corpses. He Yan didn't have the strength to move. She didn't dare to move. She didn't even dare to cry.
The young man who was fooling around with her yesterday was now a corpse that couldn't move. The brother who was scolding her in the morning was already decapitated. She lay in the wreckage and experienced the cruelty of war for the first time. She lay in the pile of corpses and smelled the blood. She cried all night with her eyes wide open.
At daybreak, a passerby passed by. He buried all the corpses on the spot and helped them collect their corpses. He also found He Yan who was on her last breath and saved her life.
Later on, He Yan thought countless times that although she was a man in the capital, she wasn't strong enough. In her heart, she probably left herself a way out. But after that night, she didn't leave herself a way out. She wasn't a girl. No one could wipe away her tears on the battlefield. The only thing she had to do was to survive every life and death battle.
At any time, surviving was the most important thing. In order to survive, so what if she had to stay with the wolf corpses? When necessary, if she really couldn't get out, she could eat the wolf meat raw.
But Xiao Jue probably couldn't understand.
He Yan sighed softly in her heart. At this time, she really felt a little cold.
The young man was wearing black clothes and black armor. He Yan was a little afraid of dirtying his clothes, so she didn't dare to lean back. But she couldn't help but raise her head to look at him. From this angle, she could see his beautiful jawline.
Xiao Jue was really good-looking. He Yan couldn't help but admit this fact in both her previous and current lives. He was born handsome and heroic. Although he was indifferent, there was always a touch of laziness that made people's hearts itch.
The most beautiful thing about him was his pair of eyes. They were clear and cold like autumn water. It was as if nothing in the world was reflected in his eyes. People couldn't help but think about how gentle his eyes would be when he looked at someone seriously one day.
She also remembered when they were in the pit, Xiao Jue had stretched out his hand to her. Inexplicably, she thought, 'Fingers as sharp and long as the bamboo shoots in spring, eyes as clear and jade-green as the ripples in autumn'. She felt that this description was indeed very suitable for this person.
No wonder he was called "Jade-faced Commander-In-Chief". Thinking about it, she really couldn't accept it. They were both young generals. Why was he called "Jade-faced Commander-In-Chief" while she could only be called "Masked General"? He Yan thought that if she had taken off her mask at that time, she might have been called "Pan An of the Army" or something.
She was still thinking about it, but she didn't know that she was looking at Xiao Jue's face with admiration one moment and sighing in disappointment the next. She looked like a lunatic. In Xiao Jue's eyes, it was really strange.
It was also very stupid.
