Shuihezhai got its name because of the water. The Qingshui River flows straight through the center of Shuihezhai. The water is clear and there are many fish. Around this town, there are bamboo buildings built along the river, and the scenery is pleasant.
In the center of Shuihe Village, there is a beautiful bamboo building. Behind the bamboo building, along the Qingshui River, is a pavilion.
At this time, in the pavilion, a man and a woman were sitting next to each other.
The woman wore a long green dress, long flowing hair, and an oval-shaped face. She was dignified and beautiful. However, her eyes were covered with a white cloth strip. I don't know what happened to her eyes.
The man is wearing a white robe, has a Chinese character face, oily skin, and sharp cheeks. He looks quite handsome.
The man is holding a small yellow wooden comb in his hand, combing the woman's long hair with his left hand, and using the small wooden comb with his right hand to carefully comb the woman's waterfall-like long hair.
"Brother, if my eyes are really blind...will you still want me?"
The man who was combing his hair was stunned when he heard what the woman said.
His face showed a sad look, and he said: "Baguio, don't talk such nonsense, your eyes will not go blind. I will do everything possible to cure your eyes. Don't worry, I will definitely
It will be cured!”
When he spoke, there was a look of pain on his face, and he said: "It's my fault, I didn't protect you. Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will be with you. Brother and Baguio will never be together."
separate!"
Hearing this, the white cloth covering the eyes of the woman in green became wet, and tears fell down her cheeks.
"Brother, aren't you afraid that others will gossip, saying that we are brother and sister... that we are... incest...?" The woman's voice was choked with sobs.
Upon hearing this, the man's hand stopped, and the wooden comb in his hand fell to the ground.
He was worried, and tears welled up in the man's eyes.
His eyes were firm and he said: "I have been in the army for more than 20 years, and we have not seen each other for more than ten years. Now that we are finally together, I am not afraid of others gossiping. No matter what others say, I will not listen! Baguio, I said
, I will marry you. When I was thirteen years old, I left. On the bluestone roadside outside my home, I swore to you that I would only marry you in this life. This is my lifelong vow and will never change!"
There were tears in the man's eyes, but he did not shed any tears after all.
He bent down and picked up the small wooden comb on the ground, continued to comb her long black hair, and murmured: "Even if I am abandoned by everyone, I will be with you. Our parents are gone, and you are the only one in this world."
Between the two of us, I will protect you!"
As soon as he mentioned "protecting" his son, the man remembered what happened to the woman's eye, and he immediately gritted his teeth in anger.
A woman was injured by a strange smoke in the market because she went to the market to buy things. He saw dozens of doctors this month, but they all said it was difficult to cure, which made him feel angry and painful.
Because he knew that there was poisonous gas in that strange smoke, and it was poisonous gas specifically targeted at the eyes.
And this poisonous smoke would not have hit Baguio just by chance.
Someone did it on purpose!
He knew who it was! Last month, he even received a note in front of the bamboo building. There were only eight words on the note: "Relax in peace and don't come back again!"
Hum hum, I have been pushed out to this small town, are those people still afraid of me?
Rest in peace and don't come back again. What a threat!
There was only two days between seeing the note and Baguio's eye injury. These people came so frequently, and their methods were so cruel!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The man exerted force on his hand, and the small yellow wooden comb was crushed into pieces by him!
"Han Ziqian is a general, but his life is chaotic and he has an incestuous relationship with his own sister, which not only ruins the family tradition, but also brings shame to our army. The last general boldly suggested to the commander-in-chief that this man be punished and beheaded in public!"
"Han Ziqian attacked Nanzhou and conquered twenty-three cities. After that, he held a heavy army, but he actually stopped advancing. From the commander's perspective, the general thought that Han Ziqian wanted to support his troops outside and respect himself. This man was born as a commoner and had always treated the children of princes and nobles.
Dissatisfied, if at this moment Han
Zi Qian rebelled in front of the formation, and our army will not be able to bear this loss. Commander, I boldly suggest that we escort this man back and secretly behead him! This man is very capable in fighting. Our army will not keep him, nor can he be released to others.
, cut the grass and roots to eliminate future troubles!”
"Han Ziqian is known as the 'God of War'. If the commander-in-chief does not use him, I boldly suggest that he be destroyed!"
…
"Okay, okay, don't talk anymore. I know what you are thinking. Han Ziqian holds the 80,000 main force of the Fire Eagle Legion, which is indeed a big hidden danger. But Han Ziqian has been with me for more than 20 years, and his military achievements are greater than those of you here.
There are many people in total, and there is hard work without merit. I want this commander to kill him, and I cannot bear it. Let’s do this..."
"Han Ziqian listens to the commander's military orders. General Han is away all year round. I am extremely considerate and sent Situ Yuanxing to take over the post of Nanzhou General. Han Ziqian will return to the camp immediately. I have other arrangements."
With those discouraging words echoing in his ears, Han Ziqian let out a long sigh.
Is this the Fire Eagle Legion he wants to follow?
Over the years, I have been ostracized in the Fire Eagle Legion, not just once or twice.
Every time, he would back down and give in, but the commander-in-chief was not cruel to him. He would call him back after at most two months.
But now, four months have passed, and there is still no movement from the Fire Eagle Legion.
What made him even more angry was that Baguio was targeted by those traitors!
Baguio will most likely become a bargaining chip for those people to blackmail and slander him.
"Perhaps, this time I will never return to the Fire Eagle Legion..."
Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Han Ziqian felt mixed emotions in his heart.
"Brother, what are you thinking about? Are you sad?"
In front of him, the woman didn't hear Han Ziqian's movement and asked softly.
Han Ziqian took Baguio into his arms and said, "Baguio, I will never be sad if you are by my side."
"Then brother must be thinking about when he can return to the Fire Eagle Legion?"
"...I...it's useless to think too much. In this small town, it's fine for us to live a quiet life."
"Brother, don't lie to Baguio. Baguio understands brother. You are a person born for war. You must know that your ambition is on the battlefield. However, you must also know that the Fire Eagle Legion cannot tolerate you.
No less than you and me...Brother, Baguio is worried about you."
"It's okay, no one can harm us."
The two hugged each other tightly.
At this time, a maid hurriedly came to the pavilion from outside and reported: "Master, there is someone outside asking to see you."
"who?"
"That person didn't say anything, he just said he was your wife."
