Coming out of the grain depot, Yan Ling's face was full of spring breeze.
The commander of Xuantiewei and his lieutenants gathered together and whispered.
"It's different to have a wife. Look at the young master's smile, as if he had stolen ten pounds of honey."
"That's what you, a bachelor, will definitely not be able to experience."
"Hey, just talk about things, why are you scolding people?"
"If I tell the truth, how do you call it swearing?"
"So what if you have a wife? Can your wife come to fight with you?"
The commander and his lieutenants started to fight.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Yan Ling scolded, "You're full after eating, right? Aren't you on night watch? Go out and explore quickly, and catch two rabbits by the way."
The commander grimaced: "Sir, how can there be so many silly rabbits in such a cold weather? It's not easy to catch one."
"Grab whatever you want, don't waste food when you have nothing to do!"
The commander was scolded and had to lead the people out obediently.
Yan Ling turned back and immediately put on a smile: "Ignore them, I'll take you to rest."
In order to prepare for Jiang Yue's sneak attack, they didn't sleep much that night. Xu Yin asked: "Where are the others?"
"Don't worry, someone will arrange it."
Xu Yin nodded, asked someone to bring a message to Wei Jun and the others, and followed Yan Ling away.
The cave is quite large, and except for the granary, everything else is abandoned. Xuantiewei cleared out a relatively flat area and placed several simple tents.
Yan Ling took her to his tent, went in and tidied it up, and said, "I'll ask someone to bring water. You can wipe it off and sleep more comfortably."
"Is it convenient to get water?" Xu Yin asked.
Yan Ling replied: "There is a water source not far away."
Xu Yin breathed a sigh of relief and thought, if it were her, she would choose to stay. There are caves to live in, food supplies available, and the terrain is so complicated, so she can slowly navigate around.
After the water was brought over, Xu Yin simply scrubbed it, then stuck his head out and asked, "Don't you want to scrub it too?"
Yan Ling was looking at her shadow in a daze. He was excited and hesitated: "I..."
Xu Yin narrowed his eyes: "What are you thinking about?"
Yan Ling: "..."
They say a breakup is better than a new marriage. He got married just over a month ago, but they were separated for more than half a year. It’s normal to miss his wife, right?
But he didn't dare to say it.
Xu Yin snorted, threw the towel on him, and came out: "It's up to you whether you want to wipe it or not."
Yan Ling went in with a low eyebrow.
There was the sound of armor being removed from inside, as well as the low cry of someone being accidentally hit by a piece of armor. Xu Yin stared coldly for a while, then finally sighed and went in to help.
"Ah, I can do it!" Yan Ling said.
When fighting in the mountains, he only wore light armor, and it was not difficult to put it on and take off by himself.
Xu Yin didn't say anything and helped him tidy up his armor in silence.
In the past two years, Yan Ling has been fighting endlessly outside, but there are no wounds on Yan Ling's body. Xu Yin asked curiously, and he smiled and said: "I usually don't rush into battle, how can I get injured? Like this time I intercepted someone in person, just by chance.
On top of that, if you are strong enough, you will not be easily injured, and it is difficult for someone who is often injured to be entrusted with important tasks."
That's right. Among those around her, Du Ming was responsible for directing the battle and had always been in the battle formation. Feng Chuncao was always in front of the battle, but if she was injured every time she rushed into the battle, she would have been replaced long ago.
Yan Ling started scrubbing, and Xu Yin went out.
——The tent was cramped, and she couldn't bear it.
After a while, Yan Ling finished washing and packing her things, and pushed her to sit down: "Go to sleep, you haven't slept properly in the past few days, have you?"
"Is there nothing going on here?" Xu Yin asked, "You have been trapped for so many days. Why don't you tell me about the loss of manpower or something?"
"We hid it when we discovered something was wrong. We didn't lose anything. I've shown you everything, don't you feel reassured?"
Xu Yin nodded. After coming in, she found that these people were in good spirits. Yan Ling probably didn't hide it from her. Therefore, they hid it actively and kept their strength intact. He had a plan, so she didn't have to worry.
As soon as she relaxed, she yawned. She had been chased away by Jiang Yue for the past few days, and she had spent all her energy on fighting wits and courage with others, and she really didn't sleep much. Now that the person has been found, the environment is safe,
I really feel sleepy.
"Sleep peacefully, I'll call you if something happens." Yan Ling helped her lie down.
"Okay." She closed her eyes and fell asleep soon.
Yan Ling touched her hair and went out to attend the meeting.
The hundreds of people brought by Xu Yin were settled, and Wei Jun reported them to him one by one.
They brought supplies. Although there was food in the cave, other things were still lacking.
Yan Ling went over the situation and said, "You are temporarily organized into an array and will act as one. General Du is the chief envoy, and you and General Feng are the deputy envoys."
Wei Jun responded yes, Du Ming was in charge of the command, and it was natural for him to be the chief envoy.
Yan Ling nodded: "You guys have a rest first and will be on duty again tomorrow. We will discuss the rest later."
Wei Jun breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing what the second young master said, the situation was quite good.
"yes."
It was still dark and Yan Ling hadn't slept yet, so he went back to rest.
Xu Yin vaguely felt herself being held in someone's arms. Before she even opened her eyes, she heard him whisper to comfort her: "It's okay, you can go on sleeping."
She was so sleepy that she fell asleep again at first.
The night of reunion passed quietly. When Xu Yin woke up, Yan Ling was sleeping next to her. The marching tent was very simple, and the two could only squeeze together. He hugged her whole body, and the heat from his body continued to spread.
, no wonder she didn’t feel cold at all. A twenty-year-old young man is so full of energy!
He didn't wake up, and Xu Yin didn't move either.
The light in the cave was dim, and it was hard to tell whether it was day or night. Only the torches left a faint light through the tent.
She stretched out her hand and touched Yan Ling's face.
I didn't see it clearly last night, but this touch revealed that his stubble had grown out. Xu Yin laughed silently and squeezed his arm again. The muscles were strong and felt good.
Squeezing and squeezing, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She paused for a moment, and when she was about to get up, she was pushed back.
Yan Ling turned over to trap her, and her originally clear voice now sounded low and hoarse: "What are you doing?"
"I was about to get up, did I accidentally bump into you?" Xu Yin pretended not to notice anything.
Yan Ling snorted: "Liar!" He grabbed her hand and said, "I obviously feel it."
Xu Yin paused for a moment and whispered: "This is not good. We are marching and fighting! What should we do if we are discovered?"
Yan Ling also felt bad, but...
"Knowing that you are here, no one dares to come here."
Xu Yin said vaguely: "This is too unserious. Will the soldiers have any objections?"
"We slept for so long, they must have thought we had..."
In his meaningful voice, Xu Yin covered her face in regret. Why didn't she think of it last night? She blamed herself for being too sleepy!
Yan Ling lowered his head: "There is time to talk, and everything is done. Please keep your voice down..."
The torches on the wall finally burned out, but spring was spreading in the darkness.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
It seems like I have been idle for a long time without writing. I would like to ask everyone if there is any way to increase the time of deep sleep. I don’t get enough sleep every day, and I feel very tired when I wake up.
