late night song

Chapter 43
On the banks of the Lingshui River, the flags and drums were silent. In the camp, a dozen soldiers were sitting around a bonfire. The hot soup in the iron pot on the stand was steaming. The cold night of early spring in the north seemed to have become gentle.

Gu Yuchu turned his head and looked at Gu Fan, who was sleeping quietly next to him, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"What's going on? I learned all the Kung Fu from Sanxing Academy in vain. I didn't ask anyone to bandage it when I was injured."

Xiao Ling had roughly finished treating serious injuries and finally rested. He turned around and saw Gu Yuchu sitting by the fire from a distance, so he also walked over.

Unexpectedly, he discovered that she was also injured. He quickly grabbed her arm and examined the wound carefully, his tone reproachful but deeply concerned.

"Senior brother, don't wait for you. I can rest assured about others." Gu Yuchu winked at the man mischievously without any hesitation.

Xiao Ling laughed muffledly. When he saw this girl in the academy before, she always looked cold and murderous. Even if they met again in the military camp this time, she still looked cold and indifferent. Unexpectedly, as time passed by I understand, and I found that this junior sister is so smart and cute.

"Enter the camp."

Xiao Ling was concerned about Gu Yuchu's identity as a woman and thought it would be better to stay hidden and greet Gu Yuchu gently.

Gu Yuchu smiled helplessly and pointed at Gu Fan, who was sleeping almost in his arms, as if he was afraid that Xiao Ling would wake him up.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ling slapped Gu Fan on the forehead mercilessly, knocking him awake.

"What are you doing?"

Gu Yuchu's eyes widened, and he never expected that the gentle Xiao Ling would actually make a move.

"Come back to kill?!"

Gu Fan was drowsy with sleep, but found that everything was quiet, so he turned over, lay down on the same spot and fell asleep again.

Gu Yuchu looked at his confused look and burst out laughing. At this moment, Xiao Ling picked up her sitting on the ground and dragged her into the tent.

"Sit tight!" Xiao Ling's tone allowed no resistance, and his seriousness was exactly the same as Qi Zhe's.

After closing the curtain, Gu Yuchu sat on the bed obediently.

"There are differences between men and women. Just cut the clothes around the wound slightly, clean the wound and apply medicine. When you go back, bandage it yourself quickly, then change into clean clothes and have a good rest."

"Senior Brother Lao."

Gu Yuchu looked at Xiao Ling, who was so busy that he never raised his head to look at her, and felt very grateful. She had not felt such thoughtfulness and care for a long time.

When he was a child in the mansion, Gu Yu was the most beautiful person in his heart. During banquets or New Year gatherings in various mansions, the young masters of the aristocratic family liked to be around his sister the most, even when opening frames.

She was young at that time and didn't think it was a big deal, but in Sanxing Academy, her fellow apprentices couldn't say they kept a distance from her, but they never cared about her. This really made her think that she wasn't pretty enough. Not enough charm.

But now on the battlefield, besides Qi frame, there were two men who cared so much about her, which made Gu Yuchu feel happy. However, she did not dare to be too sentimental, but she still had confidence in the brotherhood.

"Does it hurt?"

The wound was not very deep and was not worth mentioning to a Sunda disciple. However, the more he looked at Gu Yuchu and ignored it, the more Xiao Ling felt a little unbearable.

"It doesn't hurt."

Gu Yuchu shook her head. During the process of cleaning the wound and applying medicine, although she felt a little pain, she never concealed the faint smile on her lips.

Xiao Ling's hands and feet were quick and he quickly treated her wounds. He breathed a sigh of relief and stood aside. Only then did he have time to raise his eyes to look at the strong woman in front of him.

He looked at her face quietly without saying a word or blinking his eyes.

Gu Yuchu was a little overwhelmed, even a little embarrassed. She blushed slightly and didn't know what to say except thank you.

"Hurry back to your own camp and rest."

Xiao Ling saw her embarrassment, smiled happily, and thoughtfully found a step to hand it to her.

"Okay, I still want to say thank you to my senior brother." Gu Yuchu bent his eyes and waved his hand respectfully.

Xiao Ling looked at her with a smile in his eyes and said nothing. His eyes were extremely gentle. After holding back for a long time, he said: "I already have a sweetheart, so I won't accept the promise of my body for the time being."

"what."

This sudden rejection made Gu Yuchu roll his eyes unconsciously, and then shyly pushed Xiao Ling.

"Go back and have a good sleep. I'll take you to the door."

Xiao Ling quickly regained his serious look and urged her to go back and rest.

"Ah."

Gu Yuchu stood up and took three steps, then turned around and looked at Xiao Ling doubtfully, muttering: "For now?"

Xiao Ling did not respond, with an expression on his face that had nothing to do with him, as if the words just now did not come from his mouth.

When Gu Yu saw him like this for the first time, he was too embarrassed to continue to discuss the meaning of his words with him.

It doesn't matter. In name, I am a married woman. There is no possibility of committing myself to her again. It's just a joke. Whoever takes it seriously is a fool.

After opening the curtain, Gu Yuchu followed Xiao Ling. Before he could say goodbye, he bumped into the eyes of Gu Fan, who was quietly standing next to Gu Fan, who was sleeping by the fire and hugging the fire within a few feet.

When facing the coach, Xiao Ling did not show any courtesy. He lowered the curtain and went into the tent alone, avoiding the bowl of rice noodles filled with raw rice and vinegar that was about to be served to him outside.

"Coming back so soon?"

Gu Yuchu approached King Qin pretending to be nonchalant and greeted him cautiously, intending to change the subject. "Deputy Commander of Jianyu Battalion, listen to the order!" Qi Jian said with a serious look on his face and coldly ordered.

"Here!" Gu Yuchu immediately knelt half down and obeyed the order.

"We will set off in half an hour, and follow General Qian to lead the ten reorganized battalions to support the Hehe border and pursue the remnants of the Xirong army."

"promise."

"Sister, you want to..."

Gu Fan rubbed his eyes after being woken up. As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan slapped him on the head.

"Why did you hit me?" Gu Fan looked at Xiao Yuan with a look of hatred, wondering.

"Ahem, let me go and clean up first." When Gu Yu first noticed that the atmosphere was not right, he hurriedly asked Qi Jian to resign.

Qi frame was noncommittal, she hesitated for a moment, and finally retreated silently.

On the way, Gu Yuchu grabbed a bucket of cold Linghe water, found her tent, and ordered someone to help outside. She quickly got into the tent and hid behind the curtain.

She took off her blood-stained clothes, and the silk cloth covering her breasts was also stained with blood. She scrubbed her body with clean cotton cloth. Under the stimulation of the cold Linghe water, all the goosebumps on her body stood up, and she was so cold that she couldn't help it. Shivering.

After cleaning it roughly, she took out the gauze Xiao Ling had prepared for her in advance and began to bandage her wound.

At this moment, there was a sound at the tent door curtain.

"Who?!"

Gu Yuchu noticed that someone had entered the camp and quickly put on the dirty and tattered shirt that he had just taken off but had not had time to change out of.

She turned around and saw that it was Kai frame.

"I'll be fine soon. I can leave in a moment." The woman lowered her head and said, embarrassed by her current situation.

Qi Jie did not respond, but slowly approached her.Gu Yuchu didn't have time to put on clean clothes, so he had to hurriedly arrange the rags on his body.

"Why don't you change into clean clothes?" the man said calmly, as if he didn't regard her as a woman at all.

Gu Yuchu laughed along with him, scolding him in his heart for asking questions knowingly.

"What? Is it inconvenient for me to be here? Or do you need to find a doctor to help you change it?" He asked again, jealousy spreading instantly.

"The prince is joking, my subordinates will set off immediately." Gu Yuchu said nothing and picked up his sword, thinking that it was better to leave this place of wrong and right.

"Bring me back!"

The man behind him scolded angrily, and Gu Yuchu had to stop.She took a deep breath and turned around to face him.

"sit down!"

There was another cold command.

Gu Yuchu had no choice but to get angry with him, so he had to sit down obediently with his back to him, feeling filled with emotions in his heart.This scene was really familiar. It was the same order, but why did she feel completely different about Xiao Ling and Qi Jie.

"Take off your clothes!" Qi Jian ordered again with a solemn expression.

Gu Yuchu's heart sank, and she pinched the clean clothes on her knees tightly, but did not follow the instructions. But before she could react, the man behind her took it upon herself to tear off her already tattered shirt.

Although the silk cloth wrapping her chest was still there, Jean still felt like she had been stripped clean. She didn't dare to look back, and her heart was beating like a drum.

Qi Jian stood behind her, silently looking at the old and new scars on her back and arms, and was choked for a moment.

Noble ladies from aristocratic families of the same age all had skin as smooth as snow and as smooth as gelatin, but she was such a contrast that he felt that he was extremely cruel.

The wound was bandaged very skillfully and treated very well. It seemed that there was no serious problem. Qi Jian was relieved.

Then, he put his clean clothes on the woman and quietly exited the tent without saying a word.

Gu Yuchu breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the hideous scar on his right arm from the bear's claw, and smiled faintly.

Half an hour later, she followed General Qian to bid farewell to Qijian.The commander was majestic and solemn, and his subordinates nodded and lowered their eyebrows. It was as if everything had never happened. After Qi Zhi gave a few simple instructions, the ten battalions set off.

Gu Fan reluctantly looked at the princess and sister on the horse, watching them lead the reorganized Pingqi army towards Hehe.

…………

Within the borders of Hehe, the Dongqi army pursued Xirong, but they were still half a step behind.

After Xirong retreated into Hehe territory, they did not take a shortcut and immediately return to the western grasslands, but instead bloodbathed the imperial city of Hehe.

He He was also fully prepared, but Le Jia Huanyu had a grudge against Dong Qi because of the night banquet incident, so this time he only asked Beiling Xiu Shu for help.

Beiling's 20-strong army ambushed at the border quickly ambushed them after receiving the request for help, and dealt a heavy blow to Xirong, who was at the end of his battle.

Anuda, the new leader of Xirong, is young, energetic and ambitious, but he is eager for success and arrogant. Two old foxes, Dongqi and Beiling, have plotted against him inside and out. He has no choice but to pack up the remaining troops and temporarily withdraw from the world competition quietly.

This time the Battle of Yuxi was fought quickly. All the Xirong soldiers and horses rushed back to the grassland, but the soldiers and horses of Dongqi and Beiling were entrenched in the border of Hehe and refused to leave. This made Lejia Huanyu unexpected.

Dongqi came uninvited, Beiling took the lead first, and under the heavy pressure of the two countries, Hehe was involved in the whirlpool again. Where should Lejia's family go?
