He dreamed that he was wearing a general's armor, riding a tall horse, and leading the army back to Qimu Town in a majestic manner.
Qin Yuan, the largest captain in Qimu Town, came out of the town to greet him respectfully, bowed and led his horse, which was very humble.
When I returned to the town and saw Brother Shao, he turned over and dismounted. The brothers hugged each other and cried.
Then the two brothers rode horses together, playing gongs and drums, and rushed to Qiao's house to see the beautiful girl Xi'er in their hearts.
Propose marriage directly to the Qiao family, hold the wedding ceremony on the spot and then send her to the bridal chamber.
He seemed to clearly feel Xi'er's petite and warm girlish body, and the two of them were in harmony...
Then I suddenly woke up from the dream, my head was heavy and my stomach was growling.
I sat up and found myself in a strange cave. There was a fire next to it, and Cen Pei was grilling fish.
"Are you awake?" Cen Pei turned his head when he heard the noise and saw Diao Jun getting up. Cen Pei breathed a sigh of relief obviously.
"Where is this? Why are we here..." Diao Jun rubbed his groggy head and moved to the edge of the fire.
"Here!" Cen Pei handed over a grilled fish and stuck it on the broken arrow shaft, "Can't you remember?"
"We invaded Bashui County last night, then broke out and encountered a pack of wolves..." Diao Jun thought as he shook his head, trying to wake himself up, "By the way, the war horses threw us into the river later.
I won’t remember it after that!”
"Of course you don't remember, because you fainted immediately!" Cen Pei said, "We were washed downstream by the flood. It took a lot of effort for me to drag you ashore and enter this cave."
"Are our clothes dry? And these broken arrows... our arrow wounds...?" Diao Jun suddenly remembered something and lowered his head to check his body, feeling surprised.
"Last night I took you to the cave and tried my best to take out all the arrows. At the same time, I applied the magical golden sore medicine given by General Zhe Chong." Cen Pei lowered his head and continued to grill another fish. "By the way, put our clothes on
It’s also dried.”
"Oh! Thank you." Diao Jun nodded and took a bite of the fish in his hand, "It tastes so good... By the way! Where did this fish come from?"
"I just caught it this morning, use these broken arrows."
"Can you catch fish?" Diao Jun widened his eyes and looked at Cen Pei in disbelief, "How to catch it?"
"Just like this." Cen Pei reached out and picked up a wooden stick next to him. Three broken arrowheads were tied to the head of the stick with vines to form a simple and practical harpoon. He demonstrated the action of inserting fish.
Diao Jun blinked and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "You are so powerful, I couldn't think of this method. But don't I have a mace? Wouldn't it be faster for you to use it?"
Hearing this, Cen Pei couldn't help but roll his eyes: "This is a magic weapon given to you by the immortal, and you actually want to use it to fish? If the immortal knew about it, he would be angry to death. Besides, this is your treasure, and it cannot be used without permission.
I agree that I cannot use it at will, it is against morality!"
"It's not as complicated as you think?" Diao Jun continued to eat the grilled fish.
Cen Pei also grilled the fish in his hand, smelled the fragrance, put it to his mouth and took a bite, showing a happy smile: "Eat quickly! Let's hurry up and set off after eating."
"Start? Where to go?" Diao Jun turned around and asked.
"Of course, back to the military camp!" Cen Pei replied matter-of-factly, "Our army should have successfully occupied Bashui County at this moment, and General Zhechong must be looking for us. If he can't find us, what if we die in the chaos?
"
"Isn't that right?" Diao Jun's eyes lit up, "Let General Zhe Chong think that we are dead, and we don't have to go back to the military camp. We can go home directly! By the way, can we still find our horses?"
"Go home?" Cen Pei heard the word, his eyes were a little gray, "Go back to what home? We made great achievements, helped the general capture Bashui County, and even killed Sha Yihe, the prefect of Bashui County. Such military achievements must be
There is a serious injury! Hurry up and go back to the barracks after eating, so that you and I can get to the next level!"
"We were recruited by force!" Diao Jun put down the grilled fish and turned to look at him.
"You were recruited by force, I was not!" Cen Pei responded calmly.
"Ah?" Diao Jun was stunned.
Cen Pei looked at him and said: "When General Zhechong sent people to recruit troops over there, I took the initiative to join in order to make contributions!"
"Did you join on your own initiative?"
"Um!"
"I was pulled here by force," Diao Jun sighed, "so I have to go home. Brother Shao and Xi'er are waiting for me!"
Cen Pei lowered his head and said nothing.
After a moment of silence, Diao Jun looked at Cen Pei and asked in a low voice: "Brother Pei, you and I have different ambitions. Why don't you just treat me as if I died on the battlefield last night, or died in the belly of a wolf. Don't tell anyone about it, just
Such a person returns to the military camp. All the credit and other achievements are yours, I don’t want it! Just leave me here and let me find a way to go home! No matter what, you and I have lived and died together, so help me
Is this a small favor okay?"
Cen Pei stopped when he heard this, and after a while he turned his head and asked, "Why do you have to go home? We have made great achievements and can get promoted. After receiving the reward, we can return home in fine clothes and be even more prosperous than now! No matter what, we can't
Is it better than going back with nothing?"
Hearing this, Diao Jun couldn't help but think of his dream last night, in which he rode a tall horse home in great splendor. Especially when he got married to Xi'er and the bridal chamber became clearer, he couldn't help but blush. Then he recovered immediately.
Normally, he said to Cen Pei: "I don't really care about this. And I don't know when this war will end. I have experienced countless life and death moments in just a few days. Unlike you, I am just an ordinary person, and I don't like what may happen at any time."
Lose your life. If you go back, Gao Guo will send troops to fight at any time, and it will be a fierce battlefield again. Maybe I won’t be so lucky next time. I can’t afford the gamble, I just hope to go home safely. So, can you treat me as
He's already dead and you're going back to camp alone?"
"Do you really want to leave?" Cen Pei's eyes stayed on his face, "That... that Xi'er, is it really that important to you?"
"Not only Xi'er, but also Brother Shao! They are all waiting for me at home and worried about me, so I have to go back! Please!" Diao Jun said sincerely, "I will be grateful to you forever!"
Cen Pei lowered his head and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.
The two sides were silent for a long time. Just when Diao Jun was about to speak again, Cen Pei turned to face him: "You really don't want to go back to the military camp, you just want to go home?"
"Um!"
"Okay!" Cen Pei took a deep breath, "I'll go with you!"
"Ah?" These words surprised Diao Jun, "Come with me, why? Didn't you voluntarily join the army to make contributions? And you are so powerful, you will definitely be a strong general of Qi State in the future, with a bright future!"
"Don't worry about so much," Cen Pei said seriously, "If you want to leave, take me with you. Otherwise, follow me back to the military camp! Whether you are going home or to the military camp, you must stay with me!"
"Ah?" Diao Jun looked strange and couldn't figure out what the other person was thinking.
