【End of Volume 3】Chapter 71 Cold-Blooded Animals and Such Association Rates
Yuwen Jianxue tried hard to control herself not to think in the worst direction - how could there be such a cruel and terrible person in the world.
What's more, that afternoon, Yuwen Jianxue had seen Wu Ma pressing deep handprints on the city wall. This clearly hinted that he was extremely angry at the Turks' evil deeds, but he did not want himself and Qingxia to see his anger.
.
Yuwen Jianxue didn't believe that this was a horse dance performance. If it was, then he would be... not just scary.
Yuwen Jianxue really hopes, or she firmly believes that Wu Ma is actually just as she imagined in her heart, a good man who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, wrapped in a hard shell. Because his hands are so warm.
"Are you done asking?"
The sound of dancing horses interrupted her thoughts.
Of course not. She took two quick steps and lined up with the dancing horse, "Why are you so patient today? This... doesn't look like you."
"I'm in a good mood." Wu Ma smiled.
"Because I won the battle?"
"With me here, isn't this normal?"
"..."
Yuwen Jianxue took a deep breath, resisted the desire to complain, and asked, "Then why are you happy?"
"Well...it's not convenient for me to tell you."
Virtue. Yuwen Jianxue thought this in his heart, but unexpectedly, because of these two sentences of Wu Ma, which were either jokes or naughty words, he felt that he had a little bit of a living person again.
She curled her lips and said, "Well, how do you know that the Turks have run out of blue eyes?"
"Actually, I guessed it - when you were fighting that Turkic woman, I noticed that when the blue eye was thrust into the ground once, the light would become darker. With the last thrust, it was obvious that the blue light was about to disappear.
Already."
"Ah..." Yuwen Jianxue didn't expect the answer to be like this, "So, in the end, you are actually not sure whether the other party can see us - you are betting!"
"Yes, if their eyes can still be used, we will have to fight them again."
Hearing his careless explanation, Yuwen Jianxue was really scared.
Think about that time, there were more than thousands of Turkic soldiers coming from all around, their bows and arrows were densely packed, and no matter how good their horse dancing skills were, they would still have their strength exhausted. Once the "Dark Side of the Kasaya" failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In other words, it is very easy for Wu Ma to escape by himself. But what about others, including himself. Yuwen Jianxue wants to know what Wu Ma will choose when everyone is in a desperate situation.
"I have another question," she continued: "When I was rescuing people earlier, I was worrying about how to transport the people out. How could Pei Ji arrive just in time."
"Your master went to invite me."
"Of course I know this - but then we couldn't wait and went elsewhere. How did we find Pei Ji?"
"I specially sent a person to wait near the prisoner's camp and guide him all the way."
"So, it was you who taught Pei Ji how to take away the prisoners with his empty horse, infantry and cavalry?"
"Who else is so smart except me."
Bah. Yuwen Jianxue suddenly lost interest in asking questions.
After walking side by side for a while, she couldn't help but say: "Ah... By the way, Qingxia is not your cousin at all."
"Of course, how could I have such a stupid sister."
After hearing this, Yuwen Jianxue couldn't help but get sulky. Qingxia was so smart that she was considered a fool in Wu Ma's eyes, so wouldn't someone like her be a fool?
She didn't want to ask anything anymore.
After a long silence, he finally said: "Wu Langjun, I will remember your life-saving grace today. In the future... I will repay you."
After I finished speaking, I let out a long sigh of relief, as if all the words and questions I had spoken before were laying the foundation for this word of thanks.
What Yuwen Jianxue didn't expect was that Wu Ma didn't say any polite words like you're welcome, but just said "Oh" and said:
"No, don't make it so troublesome."
Then, with a smile on his face, he walked forward alone.
"Wu...langjun,"
Yuwen Jianxue suddenly reined in the reins and couldn't help but ask: "Who are you?"
At this time, Wu Ma was sinking his consciousness into his mind, secretly delighting in the picture of a cute and silly white tiger that suddenly appeared in the illustrated book not long ago.
His secret joy was interrupted by Yuwen Jianxue's question. He turned his head, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the beautiful girl in front of him who was wearing tight black clothes, with a slim figure, and glowing in the clear moonlight.
Her trouser legs were cut open by a sword, revealing a patch of snow-white color, just like her name. And her style reminded Wu Ma of the deliberately bad jeans that were popular in the past few years. Wu Ma had never seen any of them before
A girl looks so good in ripped jeans.
Wu Ma looked her up and down before saying:
"What did you say."
"Who are you?" Yuwen Jianxue said seriously.
"Cold-blooded animals,"
Wu Ma turned around and waved his hand, "This is what you said."
The moonlight illuminated his back and gave him a dark shadow, covering his face.
…
Outside Jinyang City.
On the battlefield full of corpses, Sunong Linghua searched for a long time and asked many people, but could not find the association rate.
She raised her head, looked around, ran, tripped over the dead man's arms several times, and was covered in blood.
In this night attack, the Turkic army suffered heavy losses. Although the specific situation has not yet been calculated, there are at least several thousand casualties. The army was led southward with great pride, but it fell to this point. The association rate should not be surprising.
.
After a while, Tongluo Gu ran over with sweat on his head.
"Linghua... I saw... the association rate... seems to have gone to interrogate Han prisoners."
"There are still prisoners?" Sunong Linghua was delighted. Could it be that the association secretly hid a few prisoners?
"They said they caught it when they came out of the valley."
"Oh..." Sunong Linghua was slightly disappointed, "Where is he now?"
"Where else could it be?" Tong Luo Gu said angrily.
"Ah... it must be in his own tent."
Sunong Linghua must have been so busy that she forgot to take a look at the camp of the association. Now everywhere was scorched by fire, but the camp of the association was near the northern edge and should still be intact.
She hurried back to the camp.
"Why are you so anxious?" Tong Luo Gu chased after him.
"I gonna go see."
"He's better than you," Tongluo Gu said, "He doesn't have any injuries on his body."
"oh."
Sunong Linghua calmed down, but her steps were still very hurried, "This time the divine decree failed, he feels very uncomfortable."
Tong Luo Gu frowned, "You are so injured, so you are quite lenient."
Tong Luo Gu said, holding her arm and taking out a roll of cloth.
"what are you doing?"
"Wrap it up for you."
Only then did Sunong Linghua realize that a long gash had been cut on her arm at some point, and a lot of blood had flowed out.
"Later, I'll go take a look first."
"The divine decree of association rate is also good,"
Tong Luo Gu pulled her back and said, "I heard that he killed several Han generals, so he will not suffer too much from God's decree. When I saw him, he was still smiling."
"Okay then," Sunong Linghua stopped, "You can take care of it."
"You..." Tongluo Gu said while wrapping his hands: "I was slapped by that guy called Wu Ma. I thought I was seriously injured and was about to die, but you didn't even ask."
"Haha... why don't you come..."
…
When Sunong Linghua arrived at the special service camp, a group of soldiers tied up a Han man and escorted him out.
She opened the door curtain, only to see her face glowing red as she walked out the door.
"where did you go?"
The association rate laughed,
"Linghua, I didn't expect that I, a landlubber who has never been in the water, accidentally caught a big fish."
"This is not over tonight...the fun is about to begin..."
As he spoke, Jiu Sheshu raised his head and looked to the south. Jinyang City, with its clear outline, seemed to be close at hand.
Sunong Linghua looked at him and was completely relieved.
Yes, Sunong Linghua likes this kind of association rate the most.
(End of Volume 3)
——————————
Thanks for the 6666500 reward for being kind to yourself.
Although the process of Ashina and the association has only begun, the night attack is relatively complete from the preparation to the conflict to the end. Qingxia's secret is exposed at the end, and the internal conflicts in Jinyang City are revealed.
In order to set the stage, some suspense in the middle were finally revealed in a concentrated manner, which also served as a cue for the following content. Therefore, I think these chapters can be used as an independent volume.
In order to enhance the sense of suspense in this volume, in most of the perspectives, I did not cut into Wu Ma's perspective or show his mental state. Instead, I observed him from the perspective of Yuwen Jianxue, Qingxia, and Sunong Linghua, and pondered.
he.
The first advantage is that it maintains suspense, the second is that it is suitable for the character of the dancing horse, the third is that it enhances the portrayal of the supporting character, and the fourth is that the image of the dancing horse can be portrayed and deepened through the thinking of the supporting character.
The disadvantage is that it is easier for readers to fall into a state of confusion. Two readers mentioned this problem in this chapter. Of course, I also tried to embed various, explicit or implicit clues into the novel.
Various parts of it, such embedding may be easy for readers to ignore and forget. Faced with this situation, I still need to find better ways to improve it.
In addition, this volume switches perspectives many times. Several times it cuts to the association rate and Sunong Linghua, but they all stick closely to the main contradiction, and the length is kept within a controllable range. I hope that in the next
You can also maintain this principle when writing. Don't waste too much pen and ink on irrelevant content and details, which can easily wear down the reader's patience.
When I was writing "Wei Bu'er" and "Bu Er Dao", I had a very serious problem. In "Wei Bu Er", Bu Er was taken into a fantasy world by Nan Qiuci and wrote nearly 100,000 words. "Bu Er Dao"
Inside, I looked at the plot of the Soul-Calming Tower later and found it to be a long extra story.
In terms of characterization, I try my best to hope that each character who takes up space has his own life, his own goals, his own obsessions and desires, and does not have to revolve around the protagonist. At the same time, I hope that the so-called villains are not completely absent.
Yes, simply opposing the protagonist, targeting the protagonist, is not a thin piece of paper. I also try hard to hope that when I tell their stories, they can all fall into the contradictions of the main line, so that they will not go too far off topic. These are also
I will try to do this in my subsequent writing.
All in all, after writing this volume, I always feel that there are some shortcomings. I feel that I should be able to write better.
I hope I still have a chance to go back and refine it.
Just like that, I hope fellow Taoists who follow the update can turn the page and give a like to their favorite characters.
Seeing that the author is very serious, I am asking for recommendation votes and free investors (every reader has five free investment opportunities every month, it is not good to waste it).
