Chapter 5
"Old man, since you are here, Ruoshui doesn't need to say anything, so I'm leaving." Seeing that Xuanyuan's wound was properly bandaged, Ruoshui raised his hand and bowed to the three of them, and said with a smile.
Lin Qi was the first to open his mouth wide in surprise. Before he could say anything, Elder Fu frowned slightly and said, "Huh? Didn't you come to fight with His Highness?"
"Of course not. You also know that I like to play. How can I be interested in such boring things as marching and fighting? Xuanyuan and I just met yesterday, and it was a coincidence that we saved him. Now it's time to part ways."
After waving his hands and saying this sentence, Ruoshui glanced at Xuanyuan, thinking that now he doesn't need to be embarrassed anymore, his own words have paved the way for him.
But he was really helpless in his heart. In fact, he was not at ease with Xuanyuan. If he could stay, he would like to stay, but he had no reason to stay.
Originally, he drew his sword to help when he saw injustice, but now he was rescued and sent back. Cheng Yaojin, who he killed halfway, should also go back to the place where he should be.
What's more, Xuanyuan probably hasn't fully trusted him until now, this kind of estrangement really makes people feel uncomfortable.
What's more, even if Xuanyuan trusted him, there was still something between them.
Xuanyuan was silent, his eyes fell on Ruoshui, the light in the tent was not bright, so he couldn't see Ruoshui's expression clearly, only the backlit phoenix eyes were extremely bright.
"We met by chance, so you used this medicine on him? How much did you bring in total when you came out this time?" Mr. Fu asked seriously, holding the porcelain bottle in his hand.
Others may not be able to see it with poor eyesight, but he, a veteran of thousands of doctors, can see it clearly.
What was contained in this small porcelain bottle was not an ordinary wound medicine, but the highest-grade wound medicine called "Toka".
Ordinary knife wounds and sword wounds can be healed in two days by sprinkling the powder. Even if a piece of flesh is gouged out of Xuanyuan's shoulder now, new muscles can grow within ten days with this medicine.
Don't say that this medicine is impossible for ordinary people to see in a lifetime, even if it is a tribute from the imperial palace or a collection of martial arts, it has never been found.
In the whole world, there are no more than three people who know the formula of this medicine.
"Old man, I haven't seen you for several years. How come you have become so serious? Do you think I can use this medicine with my skills?"
"I know you are very skilled in martial arts, but it is not easy to walk in the rivers and lakes. You must still have the ice and fire red lotus on you, right?"
Ruoshui blinked his eyes when he heard this, as a tacit consent.
"You should take this ten-day incense with you. Although the wound medicine on my side is not as good as it, the remaining poison of His Highness has been forced out. It will take a few more days to heal."
Fu Lao said and handed the porcelain bottle back to Ruoshui, but Ruoshui frowned and refused to take it, shook his head, turned around and left.
"Old man, you should avoid injuries when marching and fighting, and Xuanyuan is the commander in chief, how many days are enough for him to waste, so don't make trouble with me, keep this ten-day incense, besides, there may be some seriously injured soldiers who will need it in the future Here we go."
As soon as the words were finished, the person had already paid the account. Seeing his persistence, Mr. Fu couldn't help but sighed heavily.
He knew that although this kid was smiling all day long like a person with no temper, he was actually very stubborn in his bones, and no one could change his made up mind. Since he decided to leave this medicine to Xuanyuan, he would definitely not take it away. up.
Lin Qi blinked at the side, unable to recover from the shock for a while, in fact, he also thought that Mr. Jun would stay and accompany His Highness to go to war.
Behind him, Xuanyuan lowered his head slightly, his expression was obscured by the shadow of his forehead, and he couldn't see clearly. It was quiet in the tent, but Ruoshui's whistle and Liuyun's neighing could be heard outside the tent.
Perhaps those soldiers who escaped from death yesterday were thanking Ruoshui, but Xuanyuan could only hear his shallow and soft voice indistinctly.
There seemed to be a smile in that voice, flowing gently through my heart like running water.
The events of the past two days flashed in front of my mind one by one, and Xuanyuan suddenly felt that his previous hesitation and suspicion were just a cocoon.
He shouldn't be such an indecisive character, even if it's his fate.
Before he set off, he told Lin Qi that they could always stay the same and respond to all changes, but when something unexpected happened, he still couldn't bear it like a tortoise.
Xuanyuan Ye, how do you lead this 25 Xiliu army?And how to win this beautiful world with other countries?
Outside the tent, Liuyun seemed to be reluctant to give up something, and the low neighing sound continued to reach his ears. Ruoshui comforted it softly, and after a long while, he softly drank "Liuyun, let's go".
The word "walk" was heard in the ears, the tone was clear, but still with a hint of helplessness.
At this time, Mr. Fu glanced at Xuanyuan, as if he had sensed something from his expression, and sighed softly: "Although this kid really likes to play, he is by no means not interested in marching and fighting as he said. In addition to his superb medical skills, Gao Qiang is also quite good at the art of war, if he can stay, he will definitely be a rare talent."
The word "talent" suddenly entered Xuanyuan's mind, sparks exploded immediately.
His face was still sinking like water, but he stood up from the cushion all of a sudden, pulled the clothes on his shoulders and rushed out of the tent.
Outside the military tent, Liu Yun had already begun to run, and the white man and horse seemed to be going away with the wind in the sun, going further and further away.
Xuanyuan Qiyun Dantian shouted "Ruoshui" from his mouth like a dragon singing and a tiger roaring, which shocked the more than 20 people stationed there and turned their heads.
Ruoshui's eyes widened when he heard the sound, and before he could pull the rein to stop Liuyun, the human-savvy horse had already raised its head and neighed to a stop.
For a while, the mountain wind is bright, but it can't blow away or illuminate the haze that flashed past my heart.
Xuanyuan had already skimmed to Liuyun's side with light work, and the shirt on the shoulders was bloody again, probably because of his bad luck just now, the wound was opened again.
Ruoshui frowned and looked at him, not understanding what he meant by telling him to stop at this time, but he raised his hand uncontrollably, and quickly tapped his acupuncture points to stop the bleeding.
It was only after he tapped his fingertips that he realized that his behavior was a little too much, and a voice in his heart was urging him to leave quickly.
Just because of being with this person for a second longer, the struggle in my heart will be deeper.
"Ruoshui, you don't have to hide your ability for me. Mr. Fu said that you are actually quite good at the art of war. Our army is short of a counselor. You may stay and help me."
With a soft sigh, these words came into the ears of the two of them lightly.
It should be a question, but Xuanyuan's tone did not imply asking for instructions.
A deep falling tone at the end of the sentence made Ruoshui hold the rein tightly, and an inexplicable hesitation flashed in his heart.
The person in front of him is the son of Xiliu King Xuanyuanchen, the prince of Xiliu Kingdom, and he should hate and despise him.
But why, now that this person is standing in front of him, he can't express any hatred?Not only does she not hate, but she can't help thinking about him, and even doesn't want him to have any embarrassment.
People in the world say that all the things that a person experiences in his life are destined, inevitable, and insurmountable. No matter the chasm or the monster, one must walk through it step by step.
It's just that Ruoshui didn't understand, if it was destined to be destined, why would there be all kinds of misunderstandings and injuries before?
Or is it true that each has its own fate, and no matter how close the relationship is, they cannot share each other's fate after all.
Xuanyuan, who was close at hand, looked straight at him with Junyi's brows and eyes, with a seriousness and determination to put aside everything on his still pale face.
So solemn, almost exhausted everything.
But can he really forget the hatred he held in his heart, ignore everything and stay by Xuanyuan's side?When the battle is over in the future and Xuanyuan returns to the palace, how will he deal with himself?
"Ruoshui?" Seeing him lost in thought, Xuanyuan couldn't help but frowned slightly and called out again, with slight worry in his deep voice.
Why did he, who seemed to have nothing on his mind since we met, suddenly fell into absent-minded contemplation?
Did I really ask questions that were too embarrassing for him?
"Boy Ruoshui, if you don't have anything urgent to do, just accompany His Highness to fight this battle. I think the army really lacks a counselor. It's His Highness's first time to go to war, and Lin Qi's first time as a deputy commander. There is no Wei Zhen. Now, they are really worrying. No matter what you are hesitating about, His Highness has already spoken, you can't bear to refuse an injured patient."
Elder Fu, who walked up to the two of them at some point, opened his mouth, with a kind smile in his slightly narrowed eyes, stroking his beard with his fingers, with a rather leisurely expression.
Although he didn't know what was going on between these two people, he wanted Ruoshui to stay.
Ruoshui turned to look at him, with a resentful expression, "Old man, is there someone like you with long arms that turn outward? At any rate, you also watched me grow up, but now you only help him."
Mr. Fu laughed loudly, and said triumphantly, "Why not? I know exactly what you are thinking in your heart."
Ruoshui sighed helplessly, and then asked: "Yes, I really can't hide it from you, but how did you become a military doctor in the Xiliu Army?"
Ruoshui recalled the old man of thousands of doctors in his memory, he didn't care about the world affairs, he had a weird temper, he was skilled in medicine but never acted casually, he always only saved the people he wanted to save.
But such a person became a small military doctor in the Xiliu Army, he really couldn't understand.
Mr. Fu laughed even more happily, and the wrinkles between his brows and eyes showed a deep smile, "It is better to say that I am a military doctor of the Xiliu Army than that I came with His Highness. I and His Highness accidentally formed a relationship three years ago. At the turn of the day, His Highness will go out to fight, and the old man will accompany him."
"Just for him alone? Not for Xiliu's future and patriotism?"
"Yes, only His Highness."
Seeing Mr. Fu stroking his beard and smiling, Ruoshui rolled his eyelids, and turned his eyes to Xuanyuan again. What kind of spell did this guy pull so that the old man of thousands of doctors would be willing to follow?
"Boy Ruoshui, the word "fate" is used between people. I have a fate with His Highness, so I am willing to follow him. Now His Highness meets you by chance, you saved His Highness's life, and His Highness persuaded you to stay in the army. It is also the fate between you.”
Seeing that Ruoshui still seemed a little undecided, Mr. Fu said with a smile again.
Life in this world is nothing more than happiness and comfort. Since it is something you want to do, how can you be stopped by the hesitation in your heart.
Ruoshui looked directly at Xuanyuan after hearing this.
That pair of deep and bright eyes stared straight at him, how much firmness and tenderness, the previous hesitation and indecision were all gone.
Ruoshui couldn't help but sighed again, no matter what, let him be willful for a while, and do as he pleases, since he can't let go of this guy, why not talk about it later?
"Okay, I'll show off Mr. Fu's face." Turning over and getting off the horse, Ruo Shui laughed deliriously. People say that Ruoshui only takes one scoop for three thousand. His decision today is actually a bit desperate.
Xuanyuan and Mr. Fu looked at each other, with gratifying smiles flashing in their eyes.
On that day, Xiliu's army continued to march towards Baimi country, and the news that Jun Ruoshui became the counselor of the coach Xuanyuanye quickly spread among the army.
Perhaps it was because everyone had witnessed everything he did before, and when the news was about to spread, all the sergeants applauded unanimously, but this enthusiasm made Xuanyuan and Ruoshui feel a little overwhelmed.
That night, Xiliu's army was stationed on the plain north of Jingyue City, the capital city of Baimi Kingdom. The black armor could still be seen clearly in the night, and the torches of the tents dyed the night sky red.
And on the city wall of Mirror Moon City, the army flag of Yin Mubai, the ghost of Bai Mi, was also fluttering in the wind in the night.
The sound of the fluttering flags is the prelude to the declaration of war between the two armies, and another beacon is about to be ignited.
It was night, Xuanyuan stood outside the handsome tent, looking up at the mirror moon city in the distance.
That city is not only the first pass to attack Baimi Country, it can even be said to be the most difficult pass to break through.
The small country of Baimi has been able to stand still without being annexed in the past few decades, relying on this ghost town that can be described as impenetrable.
In the more chaotic war period before, many countries tried to break through the Mirror Moon City, but unfortunately, none of them succeeded.
Even the Xiliu army, under the leadership of Zhenwei General Wei Zhen, once attacked it, but the battle lasted for more than half a month without any progress, and then retreated due to various reasons.
The wind at night is slightly cool, autumn is here, and winter is not far away, Xuanyuan understands that this battle cannot be dragged on for too long.
Although the climate in the south is generally warm in general, even in winter there will be no big battles like the ice and snow in the north, but anyway, people are always a little timid in the cold season, which is harmful to marching and fighting. profit.
What's more, for Xiliu's attack on Baimishou, it was much harder for Xiliu's soldiers than their opponents. Although Xuanyuan led the army eager to see victory, he still did not forget to think about his soldiers.
Thinking of this, the two straight sword eyebrows on his forehead unconsciously frowned, and at this moment, a quiet scent of gardenia suddenly wafted over with the wind.
Xuanyuan turned around and saw Ruoshui in white clothes approaching slowly in the night.
"What are you thinking? You're so preoccupied." He had a sly smile on his face, dimples on his slightly curved lips, and an otherworldly look on the lower part of the silver moon.
Xuanyuan shook his head, turned his eyes around him, and said suspiciously: "You always have the scent of gardenias on your body, is it natural?"
It is often recorded in books that peerless beauties often wear natural body fragrance, but it is unheard of for men to have it.
Ruoshui was startled at first, but after a while he burst out laughing, he took out a sachet from his bosom helplessly, and handed it to Xuanyuan, "Where is the natural body fragrance, is it the smell of this sachet?" .”
Xuanyuan stretched out his hand to take it, and the light smoky diamond-shaped sachet in the palm of his hand did exude a strong fragrance of gardenias. The brocade fabric was made of exquisite workmanship, embroidered with patterns of gardenias, and there were small strings on the four corners. Tassels, one can tell at a glance that they come from the hands of a wise woman who is proficient in female celebrities.
"You, already have a family?" Staring at the sachet for a while, Xuanyuan said something out of nowhere.
Ruoshui is about the same age as him, and it is normal for the men on the left and right to have families, but for some reason, a little regret seems to flash across his heart.
Ruoshui heard that her phoenix eyes stared into bull's eyes in the night, she stared at Xuanyuan for a long time before recovering, and then burst out laughing, "Xuanyuan, you are really crazy, where did my family come from? This sachet was made by my sister ten years ago."
"Ten years ago?" How can a sachet that has been worn for ten years still have such a strong fragrance?
"Well, my sister likes the scent of gardenias. I pick some gardenias every spring. I soak the sachets and flowers in water and expose them to the sun. After a few days, the water dries up, and the fragrance of the flowers will disappear. It melted into the sachet."
Listening to Ruoshui's explanation, Xuanyuan nodded in relief, and then lifted the sachet for a closer look, only to find that it was indeed quite old, and the originally thick brocade had become a thin layer after years of wear and tear.
Passing the sachet back to Ruoshui, Xuanyuan continued to ask, "Why doesn't Sister Ling make one for you anymore, this one doesn't seem to last long."
A very common question made Ruoshui's smile froze for a moment.
But soon, he frowned again, looked at the starry sky in the distance and said, "Yes, if there is a chance, I should ask her to make a new one for me."
A very soft sentence, just enough for the two of them to hear.
Xuanyuan frowned slightly, and looked at Ruoshui with some doubts. He always felt that Ruoshui's answer just now was a bit weird, but he couldn't tell where the weirdness was.Ruoshui didn't answer any more, just looked at the sky like this, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but that smile was a little different from his usual one, it seemed to hide a lot of emotions, but it didn't seem to hide anything.
While Xuanyuan was thinking, Lin Qi came over from not far away, "Your Highness, all the troops have been stationed, and the cooking soldiers are busy cooking. When do you think we will go to interrogate those assassins?"
Xuanyuan glanced at Ruoshui, saw that he turned his head and looked full of interest, and said lightly: "Go now."
"Yes."
After Lin Qi answered, he turned around and led the way, Xuanyuan looked at Ruoshui again, and said, "I remember you said before that it's fun to interrogate assassins?"
Ruoshui nodded heavily, and said with great interest: "Indeed, let's go, I will go with you too, such a fun thing can't be missed."
After speaking, he followed Lin Qi with strides, and the sly look on his face looked extraordinarily vivid under the moonlight.
Xuanyuan looked at his back in a daze for a moment, unconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth, and then walked forward.
The three came to the tent located in the center of the army, and the soldiers guarding outside the tent saluted the three of them one after another. Lin Qi opened the tent and let Xuanyuan and Ruoshui go first.
Inside the tent, the three spies were bundled into zongzi and locked in three corners. When they saw Xuanyuan and the others enter, they looked away in disdain.
Lin Qi dragged one of them to the center of the tent, kicked his knee, and forced him to kneel down.
Xuanyuan walked up to the man and stood still, the expression between his brows was as cold as frost, he watched him condescendingly and said, "Yin Mubai sent you here just to take my life?"
"Hmph, villain Xuanyuan, only ghosts will tell you."
The man spat on the ground as soon as the gag was taken out, and looked at Xuanyuan with eyes full of resentment, as if he had a sworn hatred.
Xuanyuan didn't speak, and even his expression didn't change at all, as if he wasn't the one who was scolded as a thief just now.
Lin Qi was furious, kicked the man, and said coldly: "Presumptuous, you are still stubborn when you are about to die. If you work so hard for Yin Mubai, will he care about your life? To him, you are nothing more than nothing." A chess piece that can be discarded at will.”
This has actually become a topic that must be mentioned during torture, but every time I hear it, it still makes my heart jump.
Just think about it, who would be willing to work for a person who doesn't care about himself?
Seeing that the man did not refute for a while, Lin Qi added another sentence: "Our Highness has always been sympathetic to his subordinates. If you are willing to surrender, His Highness will definitely treat you like Sergeant Xi Liu."
"Hey, we won't betray General Yin, even if General Yin doesn't care about us, we still sacrificed our lives for our country and died with honor!"
That man was loyal, he gritted his teeth and would rather die than surrender.
A sneer gradually rose between Xuanyuan's brows, he lowered his head and glanced at the man for the last time, then turned to Lin Qi and said, "Since he doesn't want to say anything, let's take it out and behead him, let him be given a chance to die for the country."
The understatement of the sentence, but the ruthless determination, immediately stunned Lin Qi and the prisoner who was still quite imposing just now.
The tent suddenly became quiet, only Ruoshui who was standing quietly behind Xuanyuan suddenly had a clear smile on his lips.
"Your Highness?" Lin Qi blinked and couldn't understand Xuanyuan's meaning for a moment. Based on his understanding of His Royal Highness, Xuanyuan is definitely not such a careless person.
Seeing that Lin Qi didn't move, Ruoshui walked out from behind Xuanyuan with a smile, "Lieutenant Lin, I'll take this man out and kill him, you stay here to guard His Highness."
His tone was casual, as if he was going to kill a chicken and duck instead of a person, which made Lin Qizhang and Er Vajra confused.
Before answering, Xuanyuan nodded and agreed to his proposal after glancing at him.
Ruoshui has a pretty face, especially when he smiles, but it is really scary to say such cold-blooded and heartless words with this smile, which makes Lin Qi stunned.
Walking to the prisoner, Ruoshui lifted him up as soon as he stretched out his hand, the prisoner probably thought that he was going to die anyway, so he might as well swear before he died, a series of swear words spit out from his mouth immediately.
Ruoshui shook his head, glanced at him, tapped his Ya acupuncture point impatiently, narrowed his eyes with a smile and said, "If you make such a noise, it won't scare people when your head is beheaded. I still won't let you make a sound." good."
After speaking, he didn't look at the other people in the tent, and dragged away the desperately struggling man.
Lin Qi still hadn't recovered from the shock, Xuanyuan had turned his gaze to another prisoner who was staring wide-eyed, and then walked over slowly.
"Aren't you going to say it?" The deep voice was chilly, and Xuanyuan's expressionless face at this moment had obviously created a strong deterrent to the prisoners on the ground.
The prisoner raised his head and stared at Xuanyuan with his eyes wide open. Just as he was about to say something, the prisoner beside him yelled loudly: "You greedy villain who is afraid of death, dare you say that I will kill you first!"
"Lin Qi, drag him out and chop him up." Xuanyuan glanced at the man lightly, and ordered coldly.
Lin Qi was stunned again, unable to figure out why Xuanyuan would kill people so hastily. In fact, there are ways to force them to confess, so why rush to kill people without giving it a try?
Ruoshui just returned to the tent at this time, and when he heard Xuanyuan's words, he smiled and said, "Let me go, I just saw their soldiers chopping people up and found it very interesting, so I just came to try it myself."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xuanyuan's answer, he clicked the Ya acupuncture point and dragged the man out.
He came and went neatly, with a strong smile on his face, and he looked like a smiling killer.
Lin Qi was almost stunned into a wooden man, almost wondering if he was dreaming.
Could that seemingly gentle gentleman turn out to be a demon who can kill without blinking an eye?
