Withered yellow water plants along the Si River formed a strip of water. On the north bank of the red mud and soft sand lake, the Wei army was stationed. A large banner with the word "Wei" in the wind was rolled wildly.

In the dark night with few stars and a biting cold wind, the four fast horses passed through the green water belt like shooting stars before firing their bows, and finally arrived at the secret camp of Wei State.

After receiving the signal, the four people who were busy coming came together to welcome him into the tent.

The tent is not big, but it is clean and warm. There are various kinds of books on the three rows of wooden shelves, including cloth and bamboo slips, as well as jade and copper pieces. The middle one is wrapped with a wooden table, and the wooden table is burned next to it.

There was a brazier wrapped in white ash with a thin rim, and a pot of hot water on the shelf above.

When the four people opened the tent and entered the room, the person who was spreading the book in the case immediately raised his head. Before he could speak, he had already taken a look. He straightened his robe and straightened his armor and stood up. With a smile as warm as the winter sun on his face, he said loudly: "We are here late at night.

The Purple Emperor is extremely honored."

In a simple sentence, the warm laughter and the hot air blowing against your face are different from the feeling of this dense military and silent camp. There is a kind and easy-going familiarity, which makes people subconsciously forget the sense of distance.

The four people who entered the account were Wu Xi, Dan Ji, Chen Baiqi and Ju.

Wearing stars and moonlight, they braved the biting cold wind and crossed the Guhe River at night, and came to Sihe to meet the general of Wei State, Prince Zihuang. They were more or less stained by the dust of travel, and their faces were frozen and white. However, the hardships and fatigue of the journey seemed to be there.

This warm tent and this long-awaited smile buffered a lot.

"General!"

"Master!"

Dan Ji and Wu Xi were the first to greet him. Dan Ji looked excited and bowed his head to the end, while Wu Xi, who was reserved and steady, could not hide the brightness in his eyes at this moment, with joy showing on his face.

Young Master Zihuang strode forward, patted the two of them on the shoulders, and said with a deepened smile: "Wu Xi, Dan Ji, you have made a great contribution this time! These words of praise and reward are now available."

There is no need to talk about it. When I return from the victorious battle, I, the Purple Emperor, will have a share of my record and will never erase the contributions of you two."

Dan Ji raised his head with red eyes. He looked at Young Master Zihuang's eyes as bright as the sun, pursed his lips, and defended with a bit of admiration and loyalty: "General, Dan, Dan Ji is willing to go to any lengths for the general."

, not greedy for a share of credit!”

Young Master Zihuang laughed and slapped his back again. This time the force was quite strong, making the boy grin and hiss in pain.

"The rewards that are due to you will follow, and the punishment that is due to you will also be endured."

"I remember that Dan Ji is almost sixteen. He should be a man capable of supporting the territory of Wei State. He shouldn't just cry in front of others."

At this time, Wu Xi also had a real smile on his face. He looked at Dan Ji jumping around and rubbing his back, shook his head and said: "Young master, I remember correctly, Dan Ji's birthday in the twelfth lunar month, although he asked for help this time.

I have done something serious, but after all, I am still a young boy, acting recklessly and following suit, so I still need to hone myself more..."

Having said this, Wu Xi paused, turned sideways, and said to the person behind him: "Fortunately, this time I met Chen Dajian's girl, and with her help I was able to successfully complete the mission."

Young Master Zihuang's gaze was not blocked by anyone this time, and fell straight on Chen Baiqi's body. His eyes were like golden crows, with clear waves.

When Dan Ji saw that no one was paying attention to him, he also said: "Yes, Chen Rong's brains are no worse than those of the Confucian bachelors in our official college. He solved the problem that we had been worrying about for more than half a month in one night. This time,

With this Chongqing defense map, we are sure of winning Chongqing. Even if his Chu troops are assisted by an army of 80,000 barbarians, we don’t have to be afraid of him!"

Dan Ji spoke there alone, and the young master Zihuang didn't know whether he heard it or not. He walked straight to Chen Baiqi, with his eyelids half lowered, his brows reflecting the firelight, shining and masculine, and his style was unparalleled.

"Huanxian..." He called her softly. For some reason, this sound was filled with many complex emotions.

Chen Baiqi had just entered the house and was thinking about how to greet him, but she saw Wu Xi and Dan Ji impatiently taking the first step, so she waited with Ju by the door so as not to disturb his "passionate" long-awaited reminiscences with his subordinates.

At this time, he was free, so she gave him her hand and thought for a moment. Since the prince Zihuang wanted to give her a friend attitude regardless of politics or status, she couldn't refute his face. He was too polite.

It would be inappropriate to make each other feel alienated.

So she tried her best to be more sincere and cheerful and said: "Since the last time we parted, how has everything gone, sir? Even though we are on the battlefield with him now, it is no better than that incense-scented elegant room.

Drinking wine makes me feel happy, but this accident also makes Huanxian feel proud..."

As Chen Baiqi talked, she felt that even she was almost moved, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was a bit too far, so she was about to finish, but she saw a pair of white and slender but more powerful hands than the scholar's, with clearly defined joints.

Come over here...

Chen Baiqi's eyes widened for a moment, then she saw Prince Zihuang hugging her into his arms.

The feeling of hard pressure, the broad adult chest was obviously much more majestic than the frail young body of Chen Baiqi, and his unique masculine scent filled her nasal cavity especially strongly at this moment.

At this moment, not only Chen Baiqi was dumbfounded, but also the other people in the tent were all dumbfounded, and the air seemed to freeze.

He snorted, clenched his fists, and was about to move forward on his toes, but when he saw the girl's expression seemed surprised, she did not struggle to resist, so he loosened his fists and slowly lowered them, spreading his face, as calmly as

Shidi continued to remain silent and protective.

Prince Zihuang is very sensitive to aura. During this period, he felt the aura coming from Yu Ju, but when he saw that he quickly let go, he knew that this person was a retinue guarding "Chen Huanxian", so he didn't care too much.

He put all his thoughts on the person in his arms. He was like a long-lost friend reunited. His emotions could not be suppressed and he said: "Huanxian, Huanxian, you almost made me think that I lost a close friend. Do you know that I once

How regretful and uncomfortable are you?”

He spoke in a cadence, and breathed into her ear naturally and unconsciously, which made Chen Baiqi avoid him uncomfortably.

itch……

Prince Zihuang can be said to be a type of person who has relatively strong emotions in private. When he is majestic, he can swallow up mountains and rivers, and when he is gentle, he can be gentle and gentle. He is not like the icebergs, rocks, or the breeze in the blue pool, which are uncaptured and difficult to approach.

When such people become superiors, they are actually the ones that soldiers and advisers most aspire to follow.

Chen Baiqi was hugged by his iron arms so much that her bones ached, but she also knew that he was sincerely excited to meet her again. This hug was like a man to a man, without any feeling of charm, so she did not struggle to retreat, anyway.

Now that she is a man, she cannot take advantage of her.

She relaxed her muscles, curled the corners of her mouth, and said in a pitiful tone that said, "This is terrible," "Although it's my fault, I shouldn't hug someone I know every time I see them.

I'm afraid that my bones will not be able to bear the torment."

After hearing her complaining and funny words, Prince Zihuang couldn't help but burst into laughter even though he knew that she was accusing him of hugging him too hard. He let go of her, seemingly unable to vent his anger, and

He rubbed her head.

This time, he carefully controlled his strength to avoid this heartless guy from "accusing" him again.

He was angry and laughed at the same time: "But I still know that I was the one who caused the trouble. In these days, the news of your death has been spreading all over the world. Did you know that I almost believe it?"

Although he did not get along with "Chen Huanxian" for a long time, sometimes the fate between people is like this. Some people who get along day and night may not necessarily develop a deep friendship, but some people have only met a few times.

He was deeply impressed and became a friend.

Chen Baiqi was startled. She quickly suppressed her smile and asked for mercy: "Master, this matter is a long story, and it was not something Huanxian could have predicted. I wonder if you have any news about Zhao Xiangguo's empress?"

Prince Zihuang's expression paused for a moment, and he looked into her eyes: "Tell me about your situation first. Why were you and Zhao Xiangguo ambushed by the Chu people in Caocheng?"

Seeing that he didn't answer her question immediately and readily, Chen Baiqi knew that the young master Zihuang was still the same young master Zihuang. He was sincere in his treatment of others, but he was not completely straightforward and ignorant of the city.

She hadn't seen him for a long time, and he probably knew about her "lost contact" from the letters sent by Wu Xi and Dan Ji. Seeing that she took the brunt of caring about the safety of the Prime Minister of other countries without asking anything else, he felt sad in his heart.

I began to measure the closeness of the relationship between the two.

I think it was he who was the one who led the way for "Chen Huanxian" to "see a doctor" for Zhao Xiangguo and the Empress. At the beginning, she was still hesitant and pushy, but now I see that the two of them have a close connection that cannot be explained, as if outsiders cannot get involved.

of.

Thinking of this, Young Master Zihuang's eyes darkened slightly, the black gold gradually faded away, and he felt an inexplicable unpleasant feeling in his heart of "leading a wolf into the house".

While Chen Baiqi was debating how much truth and how vague should be, he didn't expect that Young Master Zihuang had already withdrawn his hand first. He patted her forehead tolerantly and smiled: "You and Wu Xi and the others are on your way.

It’s cold at night, so let’s drink some hot water to warm up your body first, and then ask for some food. Let’s talk about these things later when we have time.”

Dan Ji had just been staring at the young master Zi Huang's hand with envy and jealousy on Chen Baiqi's head. The pain of being slapped on his back did not go away. He almost sobbed and burst into tears - he favored one over the other.

His body doesn't look much thicker than that of Chen Dajian. General, are you willing to torture me like this...

And Wu Xi has now seen with his own eyes how valuable the sentence Chen Rong said back then, "Brother and Master Zihuang have an old relationship", let alone Dan Ji, who saw the Master's kindness to "Chen Huanxian", even he

I noticed that when the young master looked at "Chen Huanxian", he felt a kind of joy that came from his heart, like picking up a beautiful gem that he liked, and there was light in his eyes.

Listening to the conversation between the two, they couldn't get a word in. They felt that it was time to get acquainted with each other and retreat. Besides, the "Chongqing Military Defense Plan" was an important military matter for the Wei State. It was better to find a time to discuss it privately with the general alone, so Wu Xi

He gave the "angry" Dan Ji a look and asked him to go down to call for people to arrange food. He also had to go down to deal with other delayed military affairs. The two of them temporarily reported to the prince Zihuang, leaving a private space for him.

The two (three?) chatted nicely.

Ju? Ignorant? He didn't move the mountain and didn't care about anything else. Although Dan Ji winked and hinted that he should go out with them and wait, he ignored it and didn't squint. He was wherever Chen Baiqi was.

Seeing Young Master Zihuang looking at Ju, Chen Baiqi also spoke: "Young Master, Ju is the person I trust the most. He arranges all my affairs without hesitation."

After listening to her explanation, knowing that this person was of great importance in her heart, Prince Zihuang looked at Ju again, and at this glance, he made up his mind. There was a trace of trance in his eyes. Strangely enough, he always

I feel like I have seen this person somewhere...

Seeing that Young Master Zi Huang kept staring at Ju with an unpredictable expression, Chen Baiqi didn't know what he meant, but when he thought of Ju's previous relationship with the Chu State, maybe Young Master Zi Huang knew about him, so he immediately changed the topic: "Just now, Young Master

Speaking of which, Huanxian remembered that he was indeed thirsty and hungry. If he had hot water in his mouth, it would help him cool down."

She smiled sheepishly.

Sure enough, the young master Zihuang's attention was diverted. He saw Chen Baiqi wearing autumn clothes and only a thin cloak outside. Her figure was slender but thin. It was already freezing cold outside during the day. She came all the way.

Afraid that his clothes would be cold, he apologized and said: "I was negligent. I don't like people to set foot in my tent, so I don't have any attendants... Wu Xi and the others just went out to give orders to the cooks. I'm afraid they have to let you go."

Wait, I have hot water in my tent, but I don’t have any extra utensils, so why don’t you just use mine."

Ai?

Seeing the young master Zihuang turning around to pour water for her, Chen Bai hurriedly followed him. She was flattered and said: "No, no need, just wait for them to bring it over..."

She wasn't really that cold. The temperature inside the tent was not bad. She was just saying it casually.
To be continued...
