Su Yumei usually likes to write at night and doesn't feel tired even if she stays up all night, but now she and Xia Zhaoyi are in the same room, so when she comes back from the bath, Su Yumei blows out the candle early.
Before blowing out the candles, she specifically glanced at the girl beside her and found that she was still asleep, with bright eyes open, looking at the dark blue night sky outside the window.
So after lying down, Su Yumei asked softly in the darkness: "Miss Ah Li, does that trouble you very much?"
"No." Xia Zhaoyi said.
She felt that it shouldn't be a bother, just some thoughts.
Su Yumei nodded.
The room became quiet.
Xia Zhaoyi blinked softly in the darkness. Feeling uncomfortable in her heart, it might be more appropriate to ask Zhao Ning and Mrs. Qu, because they relatively have a lot of experience.
But even mentioning such things made her deeply uncomfortable.
This feeling of discomfort comes from the collision between men and women.
Not only the body, but also the words and eyes.
Unlike walking on the street, when others look at her body, although she also dislikes it, she does not have too strong aversion. Because there is distance and boundaries. This kind of aversion will become stronger if it is too close to her life.
.
In fact, Song Qingtang didn't say anything tonight. Maybe the life in the military camp made him informal, bold and rough. But in Xia Zhaoyi's heart, bathing was a private matter that belonged exclusively to herself, and she didn't like it to be violated.
Ever since she could remember, even if the door to her room was open, Master would knock on it lightly before entering and ask for her permission to enter.
Master never touches things that belong to her, and only takes them after asking her.
So at a very young age, she had a sense of scope and boundaries.
but……
"Miss Su," Xia Zhaoyi said suddenly, "can I ask you a question?"
"Well," Su Yumei said, "Miss Ah Li, what's wrong?"
"Excuse me," Xia Zhaoyi asked, "Except for your brother, have you ever hugged anyone else?"
"This, my brother and I have never hugged each other, let alone others."
Xia Zhaoyi nodded: "I almost forgot, so am I. I rarely hug my brother and father."
"Why, ask about the hug properly?"
"In the past few days, I occasionally think of some feelings," Xia Zhaoyi said. "In addition, people around me often mention it, which makes me upset. Maybe it's because I'm old."
"Um?"
"It's just the changes in the body and mind that are expected at this age."
, Don’t be happy with things, don’t be sad with yourself, be peaceful and far-reaching.”
Su Yumei chuckled: "Miss Ah Li, a woman like you is sometimes confused."
"If you think about it carefully, it's human nature." Xia Zhaoyi said.
Su Yumei chuckled again.
This young girl who is calm and cool, commanding thousands of troops to attack the city without blinking an eye, actually has a contrasting cuteness at the moment.
Although I don’t know what she is talking about, it even sounds a bit gibberish...
Xia Zhaoyi closed his eyes, finally feeling sleepy, and said calmly: "Thinking about this, it seems that some of the clouds have cleared and the fog has dispersed. I shouldn't be bothered by it. I should just calm down and recuperate."
"Yeah." Su Yumei smiled.
"It's just an objective thing. You should deal with it calmly. When you get older, it will be nothing more than a passing cloud."
"right."
"Miss Su, I'm going to rest, and you can sleep too."
"good."
"Perhaps I miss my junior brother," the girl's final voice became chaotic, "I talk as much as he does."
Su Yumei almost suppressed her laughter and nodded: "Miss Ah Li, go to sleep."
"Okay..." the girl responded vaguely.
After waiting for a while, the girl's voice was not heard again.
Su Yumei turned her head and looked at her to confirm that she was asleep.
The smile on Su Yumei's lips deepened, and she felt very happy.
This girl was the first person who had been with her for so many days and even mentioned the matter of men and women, but he never asked her why she was not married at her age, let alone treated her differently.
·
Early the next morning, as soon as the city gate opened, Li Man and the soldier Guan Chi left the city.
Outside the back door of the inn, there is a secluded open space across a three-meter-wide river. In winter, the vegetation is sparse and the soil is moderately soft and hard. Song Qingtang took the men there to exercise.
When Li Man and Guan Chi came back, Xia Zhaoyi also came down.
A well-dressed girl with a waist and sleeves, and a long ponytail, it was hard to tell whether she was male or female. Facing a man with a huge back and huge muscles, she was extremely flexible and could defeat three men without losing.
It is difficult for her to cause substantial oppression to the other party, but the other party cannot do anything to her.
Song Qingtang looked at her flexible posture and understood that this was just a training exercise. Neither of them had weapons. If they had weapons, the situation would be clear in an instant.
She can now evade all the opponent's grapples with ease. If the opponent has weapons, she can also completely avoid all attacks.
However, it may be difficult for the three opponents facing her to escape her assassination.
For a woman, her strength is not small, but the difference in strength between men and women is natural, and weapons and speed can completely make up for these differences.
Not to mention, her evil weapon.
Song Qingtang lowered his head and looked at the palm of his hand.
Back in Chongyi, she left a whip on his hand in an extremely unceremonious manner, which was dripping with blood and penetrated deeply into his flesh.
But her medicine was very effective, and with the passage of time, the wound has completely faded away.
Song Qingtang felt that his brain was a little bad, and he was reluctant to let this scar disappear...
Seeing Li Man and Guan Chi, Xia Zhaoyi and the training soldiers stopped.
Sweating profusely, Xia Zhaoyi felt refreshed and walked towards them.
"My boss," Li Man said in a deep voice, "I have inquired about it, but only the Zhiye and Cai He did not see any soldiers."
"The more than 100 soldiers and horses who followed Cai He and left are also missing?"
"Hidden very deeply."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled, took the handkerchief from Song Qingtang, wiped his sweat and said, "It's not that he's hiding from us, it's really that he's hiding from that boss."
That night, Cai He's hundred soldiers and horses caused a lot of noise, but she could easily guess his thoughts. This Cai He wanted her to focus all on him and not go to the southeast to look for Li Xiao.
.
But after asking around all the way, they found that the hundred soldiers and horses were nowhere to be seen. Only Cai He and Zhiye's convoy were heading towards Shoushi.
These hundred soldiers and horses were most likely dispersed by Cai He and sent to find Li Xiao.
Now that Cai He felt safe, he could have gone to Li Xiao, but he didn't.
Based on what Yang Fugui mentioned, the scene between the two Cai and Konwei when they faced the Zhi Ye, Xia Zhaoyi felt that it was most likely related to the Zhi Ye.
Li Xiao's army sacrificed so many soldiers in the battle at Peifeng, but gained nothing. Looking at it horizontally and vertically, it was a tragedy.
As the most important counselor beside Li Xiao, Cai He did not rush to Li Xiao's army immediately.
This further infers the importance of this master to Li Xiao.
