Every time he comes, Xiao Qingyu will see that beautiful man.
Occasionally, when Xiao Qingyu was seen by him, he pretended to be passing by. He always looked at her with a gentle smile.
Xiao Qingyu thought to himself, why would there be a man like him? He was so tall when he grew up. He looked like he had the unruly wildness of a foreigner and the nobility of a superior person, but his temperament was very gentle.
He doesn't give people a sense of distance, but has a vague attraction to her, making her always want to find him.
In the evening, Xiao Qingyu passed by his grandfather's tent. As soon as he raised the tent, he met Xiao Tong who was preparing to come out.
Xiao Qingyu immediately put down the curtain, turned around and ran away.
"stop."
Xiao Tong stopped her and came out of the tent.
"Little naughty boy, I see why you are always sneaking around my tent these days?"
Xiao Qingyu kept his face quiet and said with his hands behind his back: "How can you be sneaky? I just want to see what new military information my grandfather has as usual, so that I can understand it better."
Xiao Tong stretched out his hand and poked her forehead: "You are not honest, what evil are you holding back?"
Xiao Qingyu stuck out his tongue: "No, that General Xiao, I'm going to eat, and the mutton that Uncle Chen left for me will be gone later!"
With that said, Xiao Qingyu ran away without looking back.
Xiao Tong looked at Xiao Qingyu's back and chuckled. This granddaughter grew up under his eyes. He could tell at a glance whether it was good or bad.
She must be hiding something in her heart.
After Xiao Qingyu ran away, he had no intention of eating anymore. Looking at the sunset in the distance, he mounted his horse and headed towards the sand dunes.
Today Qi Li and the others were patrolling outside. She hadn't been with them for a long time, so she wanted to run with them today.
Their camp is in the desert dozens of miles outside the border. There are often wolves, leopards and other wild beasts. They also raise cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and other livestock in the camp, as well as horses and so on. They are afraid that they will be
There are some small villages and inns living in the desert nearby, and the patrol is also to protect them.
Xiao Qingyu came out of the camp and asked the soldiers guarding the exit, only to find out that Qi Li and the others had left half an hour ago.
After asking Qi Li where they were going, Xiao Qingyu rode off.
After running in the yellow sand for a while, Xiao Qingyu still didn't see Qi Li and the others. At this time, the sky was slowly getting dark, and the setting sun was setting over the edge of the desert.
Xiao Qingyu grew up in this place and is already very familiar with it. He also knows the patrol route well. According to the usual route, Qi Li and the others should be nearby.
Seeing that some small villages in the distance were already lit up with fire, Xiao Qingyu rode towards the light.
When Xiao Qingyu got closer, he realized something was wrong.
She keenly smelled a faint smell of blood in the wind, and the fire in the distance was a fire burning in a thatched house in the village, and several figures were throwing something into the fire.
Xiao Qingyu frowned, got off his horse, held the spear in his hand and approached the village.
After walking around the sandy slope at the entrance of the village, she saw clearly a group of foreign men dressed as businessmen, throwing dead soldiers into the fire!
They are soldiers under brother Qi Li!
There were also some soldiers captured by these people who were being questioned by the two leaders. If they couldn't answer the questions, they were immediately killed by them.
Xiao Qingyu was filled with anger as he watched. These thieves are so courageous! The camp is only a few miles away from here!
Xiao Qingyu's expression was solemn, his eyes searched among the soldiers, and he soon saw Qi Li, who was injured and kneeling on the ground. He seemed to be seriously injured, and his mouth was bleeding continuously.
Seeing the thieves killing the soldiers one by one, Xiao Qingyu touched the side of the burning house and blew the whistle to drive away wolves.
The sharp whistle resounded through the night sky. After blowing, Xiao Qingyu immediately rolled behind the sand slope and circled back to his previous position, using the sand slope terrain and the grass growing in the desert to shield his figure.
The thieves were frightened when they heard the whistle. It was the whistle used by Beiyuan soldiers to patrol to drive away wolves and communicate with each other. The thieves obviously knew it.
Seeing them running away to look for the whistle, Xiao Qingyu quickly ran to Qi Li, pulled out the dagger from his waist and untied the ropes that bound him and the other soldiers.
As soon as it was untied, the thieves turned around and came back.
"Run, run to the camp quickly!" Xiao Qingyu said sharply to the soldiers.
There were only a dozen of these thieves, and they captured the same number of elite soldiers. Their strength should not be underestimated.
Xiao Qingyu whistled for his horse and got Qi Li onto the horse.
Seeing the remaining ten or so soldiers rushing up to cover her and Qi Li and buy time to escape, Xiao Qingyu couldn't just let them go and let another injured soldier get on his horse and take Qi Li to call for reinforcements.
Yu gripped the silver gun and rushed forward.
Seeing the thief trying to chase Qi Li on horseback, Xiao Qingyu swung the silver gun at the horse's leg, cut off the horse's leg, and then threw out the dagger in his hand, knocking off the other chasing thief.
She stood there with a spear in hand, not allowing any thieves to pass on horseback.
Seeing that Xiao Qingyu hadn't left, the expressions of the soldiers suddenly changed. She was General Xiao's daughter!
Although they usually don't care too much about her identity, at this time, they absolutely cannot let her stay here.
Xiao Qingyu swung his spear and slit the throats of the two tall thieves directly. His slender figure shuttled among the enemy troops, not afraid of their attacks and oppression.
The soldiers also fought fiercely, hoping to wait for reinforcements to arrive quickly.
While resisting these thieves, Xiao Qingyu put the whistle in his mouth and blew it vigorously. This whistle could be heard in the quiet desert even though it was several miles away.
The whistle reached the military camp faster than Qi Li and the others. Hearing the frequency of the whistle, the soldiers guarding the camp realized something was wrong and immediately returned to the camp to report.
Xiao Qingyu's soldiers were getting fewer and fewer here, and she also suffered several injuries. The soldiers all surrounded her.
"Miss, let's go quickly!"
Xiao Qingyu pulled out the silver gun from a thief's chest, with a stern look in his eyes: "Miss! Call me Captain Xiao!"
"Humph, woman!"
The leader saw that the person who killed the most of them was actually a woman, so he took the bow and arrow from his subordinates and pointed it at her.
Xiao Qingyu watched the soldiers fall one by one, and with the determination to die, he wanted to destroy this small village and kill a few more of the thieves who killed their soldiers.
The arrow was on the string, and just when Xiao Qingyu's life was hanging by a thread, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and several alien soldiers holding scimitars neatly killed the thieves.
A long whip knocked the thief beside Xiao Qingyu who had raised the knife to the ground. Xiao Qingyu looked up and saw a familiar figure riding towards her on a horse, reaching out to pick her up on the horse.
"I can't leave, there are still soldiers here!"
Makino held her in his arms to prevent her from falling. He looked at Xiao Qingyu who had suffered a lot of injuries, his eyes darkened, and he said: "Don't worry, they will be fine. What I have brought are the best soldiers in Sarao."
, those trash fish are no match."
Makino was afraid that she would worry, so he added: "They will take good care of your soldiers. You are seriously injured, so you should go back quickly."
Xiao Qingyu felt a lot more at ease when she heard his low and steady voice. She looked back and saw that all the thieves had been killed or captured, and she felt relieved.
She sat in front of Makino, with her back against Makino's chest, and her whole body shrank in his arms. She wanted to move forward, but she pulled the wound, and she grimaced in pain.
"do not move."
Xiao Qingyu had no choice but to stay still. She looked up at him and asked, "Why are you here?"
Makino said: "I came to the camp today to discuss important matters with your grandfather. I also encountered some scattered enemy troops on the way, which delayed me for a while."
After saying that, Makino looked down at her: "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."
Xiao Qingyu was stunned and immediately lowered his head: "Who... who is waiting for you?"
"I see you every time I go to your grandfather's camp. I think you are waiting for me." Makino's voice was low and gentle, like the evening breeze blowing gently in the desert.
Xiao Qingyu's ears felt a little hot, and she said: "I have long heard that Salo men are the most arrogant, and you think too highly of yourself. I was just passing by and it has nothing to do with you."
Hearing Xiao Qingyu's somewhat thorny words, Makino was not angry, and his tone remained calm and gentle: "I am not proud."
After that, he smiled slightly and imitated Xiao Qingyu's words: "I have long heard that Beiyuan women are gentle and reserved, which is very different from us Salo women. It seems that they are not exactly the same."
Xiao Qingyu thought that Makino was mocking her and was a little annoyed. Before she could say anything, she heard Makino say again: "So the rumors cannot be believed. I am not a arrogant and narcissistic man. You are also a lively and lively girl.
Not everyone is the same, don’t you think so, little herring.”
Hearing Makino's gentle and calm tone, Xiao Qingyu's anger was calmed down unconsciously.
After a while, she asked: "Beautiful man, I don't know your name yet."
Hearing the words "beautiful man", Makino laughed "haha" and said that what Xiao Qingyu was talking about that day was definitely not about beautiful jewelry.
Turns out I was praising him.
Makino said in her ear: "My name is Makino, nice to meet you, little Qingyu."
