"Why don't you stay for the night today?"

Yun Yan's voice broke into Lin Aoxue's ears, causing a loud bang in her head, as if something had exploded, and then there were buzzing sounds in both ears, making Lin Aoxue nervous all of a sudden, and she didn't know what to do. measures.

Yunyan raised her head and stared at Lin Aoxue's eyes. There was a plume of autumn water in her eyes, which seemed to be able to cleanse people's hearts.

"You don't have to go back to the barracks tonight, do you?"

Lin Aoxue didn't know what to say, but Bei Chenlong allowed her to arrange the day freely, and she didn't have to go back to the military camp tonight, but staying here in Yunyan, although she didn't mind, she was even a little bit happy. But in the end, it's not good for Yunyan's reputation.

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Lin Aoxue blinked, her brows narrowed slightly, and said:

"If I stay with you for the night, I'm sure in a few days, there will be inexplicable rumors outside, which will hinder your reputation."

Even though they all knew that Yunyan asked Lin Aoxue to stay overnight, she was simply asking her to stay, but neither the servants outside nor the neighbors knew the truth. In their eyes, Yunyan would become disrespectful because he stayed at night with a man who had never married.

It was difficult for Yunyan to get rid of the influence of Yanyulou's reputation on her, and to gain a foothold in Xingbeiguan, Lin Aoxue did not want Yunyan to be hurt by rumors again.

Unexpectedly, Yunyan raised her eyebrows and laughed softly:

"When did you care about those baseless rumors?"

Lin Aoxue frowned and argued:

"I don't care about the bad words directed at me, but I can't tolerate them being rude to you."

Lin Aoxue's straightforward words were still as pleasant as ever, and the smile on Yunyan's lips deepened. She gently shook Lin Aoxue's arm as if she was coquettish.

"But I want you to stay with me."

The soft and glutinous voice hit Lin Aoxue on the forehead like a heavy hammer, causing her to lose her head. She turned her eyes away with all her might, but the moving image of Yunyan in her mind could not go away no matter what.

"Mu Xue?"

Yunyan called again, and it was Lin Aoxue's unknown name.

Lin Aoxue clenched her teeth sharply, her face changed again and again, the struggle in her heart was most intuitively expressed on her face, but in the end it was no match for Yun Yan's sweet and aggrieved soft words, helplessly defeated, nodded in response road:

"Okay, I'll stay."

No wonder some people say that a woman who can act like a spoiled child has the best life.

Yun Yan was so coquettish that even a hundred Lin Aoxue could only kneel down and beg for mercy.

Getting the desired answer from Lin Aoxue's mouth, Yunyan was very happy, she giggled, wrapped her arms around Lin Aoxue's waist, threw herself in Lin Aoxue's arms, and suggested with a smile:

"It's windy outside, let's go back to the house."

Lin Aoxue nodded in agreement, walked through the corridor outside the house with Yunyan, and entered the house.

The small courtyard behind the hospital is not big, except for the main hall where guests are served and the firewood shed behind the hall, there is only one bedroom and two wing rooms. There was no one living in the wing all the time, so it was not cleaned up. The bed was only covered with a layer of brown grass, and the bedding was placed elsewhere and was not taken out.

Lin Aoxue was in trouble for this. She thought that she should stay in the wing room for the night, but now, Yunyan's plan was completely different from hers.

Seeing that Lin Aoxue deliberately glanced at the wing room, Yunyan couldn't help but twitch her lips and said with a smile:

"If you stay overnight and live in the wing, how different is it from returning to the military camp?"

Lin Aoxue was stunned when she heard the words, but could not find any words to refute.

Seeing her dazed, Yunyan added:

"I just want you to accompany me, but you don't want to?"

Lin Aoxue understood what he said, and hurriedly shook his head:

"Whatever Yan'er said, I am willing."

Yunyan laughed:

"Then you sleep with me tonight."

Lin Aoxue felt that her brain couldn't turn. She blushed so badly that she always felt that something was not right. Her eyelids trembled several times, and she said awkwardly:

"This...isn't it good?"

"What's wrong? You and I are both women. What's the problem with sleeping together?"

Yunyan raised her eyebrows and smiled.

Lin Aoxue was dumbfounded, her tongue seemed to be in a knot. She felt that Yunyan was right, but she also felt that this was not the case. The relationship between them was the same as those two ordinary women.

Lin Aoxue was extremely entangled in her heart, her brows furrowed, her face almost twisted into a twist.

Yunyan saw that Lin Aoxue was still awkward and refused to put on the condom, so she closed her voice, with a look of grief on her face, and said resentfully:

"You just don't want to accompany me, there are so many excuses."

Lin Aoxue's heart trembled and hurriedly retorted:

"Oh, no! I'm willing, I'm willing, oh, I'll just stay and sleep on one couch, don't cry."

Seeing that a mist of water was about to gather in Yunyan's eyes, Lin Aoxue panicked and hurriedly responded.

Yunyan sniffed, with tears still in her eyes, she looked up at her:

"You can't fool me."

Looking at Yunyan's delicate appearance, how could Lin Aoxue say a word, she resignedly raised her hand and surrendered, nodding repeatedly:

"Okay, I won't bluff you, I will listen to you."

Only then did Yunyan smile with satisfaction, the water mist in her eyes disappeared for a moment, making Lin Aoxue stunned, she finally understood that Yunyan was trying to trick her, she felt helpless and had to be obedient. Let her like to follow this girl, and she will be happy to make Yunyan happy.

In the evening, Lin Aoxue and Yunyan were lying on the couch after grooming. Yunyan slept inside and Lin Aoxue was lying on the outside. At night, Yunyan turned to his side, Lin Aoxue's mask had been removed, and it was placed on the low table beside her. From her point of view, It was easy to see the scar on Lin Aoxue's face.

Lin Aoxue closed her eyes, her expression was soft and calm, as if she had fallen asleep.

The hazy night blurred the wound on her face, and the soft white moonlight of the water color filtered in from the window and hit Lin Aoxue's eyebrows, showing a little warmth in her tenderness. In this small shabby room, there was another person's breath, which actually dispelled the cold air that had enveloped the room in the past.

She thought that she was used to being alone, even if she was thinking about Lin Aoxue, she could live a good life alone.

But it wasn't until Lin Aoxue lay beside her, so real and within reach, that she realized that the existence of this person was really different from the absence of this person.

Yunyan stared at Lin Aoxue's side face for a while, then Lin Aoxue frowned, then her eyelids trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes with a hint of helplessness. She turned her head to look at Yunyan and asked:

"Can't sleep?"

Lin Aoxue hadn't slept at all, and she was so nervous that she was afraid that she would not sleep properly because of her hands and feet. She wanted to wait for Yunyan to fall asleep before she went to sleep. Unexpectedly, Yunyan not only didn't sleep, but stared at her with wide eyes. After being stared at by her sweetheart for a long time, Lin Aoxue couldn't sit still.

Yunyan shook her head, smiled warmly, and replied to her:

"I want to talk to you."

Hearing this, Lin Aoxue also turned to his side, put one arm on his ear, and looked at Yun Yan softly:

"Well, what did you say?"

Yun Yan bent her brows, in fact, she didn't think about what to say. Originally, it was not bad to look at Lin Aoxue's sleeping face in a daze, but when Lin Aoxue opened her eyes to look at her, she felt that since they didn't sleep, maybe You can chat for a while.

She tilted her head and said after thinking for a while:

"No, tell me what you did when you were cultivating in Yuanming Temple? Would you recite sutras like those monks?"

When Lin Aoxue heard the words, the corners of her lips lifted, and a smile that couldn't help but smile appeared on her face, and said:

"I was leading the cultivation practice at that time, and I didn't become a monk. The master said that I was too hostile to be a monk. Besides, I couldn't be a monk because of my status, so he took me to practice martial arts and meditate. I told him the year before. My wish has not been fulfilled, my revenge has not been avenged, and my obsession is unbearable, so I have to go down the mountain, and he didn’t say anything, so he let me down.”

Yun Yan heard Lin Aoxue say this, but her eyes showed two points of deep thought, and she asserted:

"Then Master Hongming must know your identity."

With Lin Aoxue's strength alone, it was impossible to quietly change the dossier of his identity, but Master Hongming did not. Before Hongming broke away from the vulgarity and left the capital, he was a high-ranking official, a very high-ranking minister, and there were many students from the poor family in the world. There are also many important officials in the current court who are disciples of Master Hongming. It is Hongming's mentor.

Such a person, even though he has been away from Beijing for many years, still has the power to change Lin Aoxue's dossier, but it is a small effort.

Lin Aoxue pondered for a moment, her identity was no longer a secret to Yunyan, she also knew the true meaning of the identity mentioned in Yunyan's words, and said:

"Yes, he knows my identity."

With Hongming's wisdom, even if Lin Aoxue had the intention to remain anonymous at that time, she could not hide it from his eyes, and she wanted the secret of her identity not to be exposed. Her existence is a sin in Beichen, not to mention entering the military camp openly and aboveboard, she is not suspected by Beichenlong and others.

For Hongming, Lin Aoxue has always been very grateful. She still remembers that year, it was still the most bleak time in the cold winter and twelfth lunar month. She was bullied because of the ugly scars on her face. Those beggars drove her out of the ruined temple, and she was alone. , without even a place to stay, dressed in thin clothes, cold and hungry, and almost died on the streets of West City.

But it was Hongming who came to Beijing to lecture on scriptures, passed by the West Market, picked her up, and brought her back to Yuanming Mountain. Even if he knew her true identity, he didn't say much. Lin Aoxue didn't remember it very clearly, she only had a vague impression. At that time, the expression in Hongming's eyes seemed to contain two points of remorse and regret, in addition to being full of compassion.

He said to Lin Aoxue:

"Your obsession is too heavy."

Lin Aoxue didn't say much, and Hongming said again:

"You have been meditating in Yuanming Mountain for ten years. If you don't change your mind, then go down the mountain."

In those ten years, Hongming taught her martial arts, teaching her the art of war, but never mentioned her parents and past. Lin Aoxue devoted all her energy to practicing martial arts. The human formation was covered with injuries, and as long as there was still a breath left, she would try her best to get up again.

Ten years of persistence, the original intention does not change.

Lin Aoxue had reminiscence in her eyes, as well as helplessness and regret. She was nineteen years old when she went to the famous mountain of Yuanyuan, and she was past the most suitable age to practice martial arts. Even if she had some foundation in martial arts, she was weak. It takes ten times and a hundred times the efforts of ordinary people to achieve today's achievements.

She picked up some common sayings about her experience at that time, and buried the pain and grievances in her stomach, but even so, the hardships from her mouth were still unbelievable.

It is not easy for everyone to live, and each has their own hardships. Except for those who have really endured those hardships, no one else can feel the same.

Yunyan's heart was up and down as Lin Aoxue told her story. Seeing Lin Aoxue narrating her past with a smile on her face, the tears in Lin Aoxue's eyes that could not be completely contained were looming.

Lin Aoxue had been through such a hard time that even Yun Yan, who was always good at words, didn't know how he could comfort her at this time.

But what Lin Aoxue wanted was not Yunyan's comfort. No matter how hard those years were, they were finally over. Even though the obsession in her heart had not disappeared, she was no longer alone. At least, at this moment, she was worried. Being able to tell others about her joys and sorrows, and even every little thing in life, can be shared with Yunyan.

This is enough to satisfy her.

If one day, she will be able to avenge her great revenge, and she will have the opportunity to take the woman in front of her as her own, then she will be lucky.

Lin Aoxue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and when she raised her eyes again, Yun Yan suddenly bullied her body, and under Lin Aoxue's stunned gaze, she forced Lin Aoxue into her arms. Lin Aoxue's face was forced to be buried in the soft place in Yunyan's chest. After a brief moment of daze, Lin Aoxue quickly realized where her face was clinging to.

In an instant, she put the sourness in her chest behind her, her cheeks flushed with shame, and she was at a loss.

She wanted to get rid of Yun Yan's embrace, but she missed the warmth of this embrace, and she was in a dilemma for a while. However, Yunyan seemed to understand her thoughts, so she tightened her arms again and said to her:

"Don't move, let me hold you for a while."

Lin Aoxue stopped struggling.

Yunyan just hugged Lin Aoxue quietly, without saying anything to comfort her, Lin Aoxue crouched in Yunyan's arms, and was very shy at first, not knowing what to do. After a while, a very light, very light choking sound suddenly sounded in the stillness. Lin Aoxue was stunned by the sound.

Yunyan is crying.

This forbearance and silent cry was not the same as the pitiful tears Yunyan had when she first learned about Lin Aoxue's identity. Lin Aoxue could feel that in Yunyan's tears, there were deep regrets and regrets, regretting that she was in Lin Aoxue's most difficult years. He never appeared by her side to accompany her, and what he regretted was the hardships Lin Aoxue had endured.

With the slight choking sound, Lin Aoxue's heart also trembled.

She hugged Yunyan back, released her fragility, and gave back the extreme tenderness to those around her.

After an unknown period of time, Yunyan stopped crying, Lin Aoxue broke free from her embrace, backhanded Yunyan in her arms, and put Yunyan's face on his shoulder, gently persuading:

"It's getting late, go to sleep and be obedient."

Yunyan didn't argue with her, and didn't mind that she was the one who listened, but why was she the one who was comforted in the end, she leaned tightly on Lin Aoxue's shoulder, wrapped her waist around her waist, pursed her red lips lightly, and then Slightly lifted, the sound is weak and the mosquito hums:

"I will, too, avenge you."

During the Chinese New Year, she once asked Lin Aoxue if she would like to avenge her, and Lin Aoxue answered yes. Now, Yunyan also feels sorry for the suffering Lin Aoxue has endured, and feels unfair. She also wanted to share the suffering of torture for Lin Aoxue.

However, her voice was so soft that Lin Aoxue couldn't hear her clearly, so she lowered her head and asked:

"What did you just say?"

Yunyan had tears in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth were hooked up, and she replied with a smile:

"I said, it's nice to meet you, it would be even better if you could marry me right away."

Lin Aoxue's face froze, she looked away and dared not answer.

Yunyan never thought of making Lin Aoxue let go. This person is as stubborn as a donkey. No matter how she tries to persuade her, she can't persuade her. Therefore, she is willing to wait until Lin Aoxue puts down the burden on her shoulders. Get rid of all the burdens and live with her, even if there will be many changes in the future, and whether or not the wish will be realized in the end.

She rubbed hard in Lin Aoxue's arms, found a comfortable position, and soon fell asleep. Perhaps because of being held by Lin Aoxue, there was always a soft smile on the corner of her mouth, which was quiet and beautiful.

Lin Aoxue was still struggling with what Yunyan said just now. When she lowered her head again, seeing that Yunyan had fallen asleep, she was relieved, but also inexplicably lost, and finally shook her head helplessly and sighed, Laugh at yourself for being cowardly and cowardly.

She turned her head to the side and dropped a kiss on Yun Yan's forehead, then closed her eyes, put aside the distracting thoughts in her heart, and fell asleep.

The next morning, the two woke up almost at the same time, stared at each other sleepily, and both saw a moment of confusion in each other's eyes, and after a while, it turned into a soft and touching smile that flowed in each other's hearts.

Lin Aoxue stayed in the medical hall for breakfast, and then she dressed and said goodbye to Yunyan to go back to the military camp. When she left, the two servants in the hall winked at each other, apparently thinking that Lin Aoxue was the husband-in-law of their future hall owner. .

As soon as she came out of the hospital, Lin Aoxue felt empty in her heart, and she felt lovesick.

All the way back to the camp with erratic thoughts, Lin Aoxue slapped a basin of cold water and patted her face to wake herself up. Then she went to Beichenlong's camp to deal with the previous battle in Yiping, as well as the casualties in the army, and the placement of the surrendered soldiers. The situation and other important matters were reported to Bei Chenlong succinctly and clearly.

Bei Chenlong was very pleased. After General Lin Aoxue's report was finished, he left. Bei Chenlong sat on the chair in front of the case, holding a brush in his hand, but his eyes showed deep thought, and the pen did not fall on the paper. .

After a while, Bei Chenlong put down the pen and asked the person behind him:

"What do you think the strategist thinks is the time?"

The army from the north has won two consecutive victories, and the army from the south has been severely damaged. The situation is very good. Beichenlong is in the limelight for a moment.

However, after a moment of silence, the person behind him replied:

"I still owe some heat."

Hearing this, Bei Chenlong was not angry, but frowned slightly and asked:

"Since we owe the fire, how should we increase the fire?"

The people behind the screen did not hide their secrets and said:

"When there was a drought, there was no harvest in the Central Plains, the people were struggling to live, and there was a lot of complaints. The emperor insisted on doing his own thing and forcibly conscripted troops, which has already provoked public indignation. Now the troops and horses in the crusade against the northern border have been defeated again and again. I think that the firewood is on the people."

Bei Chenlong was humbly taught, and his eyes were thoughtful.

After a few days, there was still no rain in Beichen, and the famine became more and more serious. Disaster victims also appeared in the three passes of Xingbei, Mingzheng and Poyan. Beichenlong ordered to open the warehouse to release food and take out the food that had been hoarded in previous years for disaster relief. The people were grateful, and the victims in the nearby towns heard that the general Renshan of Xingbeiguan rushed to defect.

For another three days, rumors began to spread in the realm of the Central Plains, saying that the emperor was arrogant and extravagant, disregarding the suffering of the people, and even persecuting his brothers and sisters, so he was angry with the sky, the sky did not rain, the emperor was defeated again and again, and God was punishing the king, wanting to let this country go. change owner.

Uprising rebels began to appear all over Beichen. Some of them were idle teams composed of bandits, and some were ambitious people who could not bear the tyranny. More and more rebels caused great turmoil in the Central Plains. The emperor panicked, was extremely angry, and could not care Then send troops north to find Bei Chenlong's troubles, and turn to target these chaotic troops.

At the same time, Beichenlong demarcated land in the northern border, named Xing, and issued an edict to recruit people with lofty ideals to join the army. In just over a month, Bei Chenlong gathered more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to expand the power in the northern border again.

With 500,000 heavy troops in hand, Bei Chenlong's ambitions were unprecedentedly expanded, and coupled with the increasingly louder voices of the people, Bei Chenlong finally made up his mind, relying on public opinion, and marched south.

Lin Aoxue was promoted again and was promoted by Bei Chenlong as a partial general, while Pei Qing was turned into a full-time fourth-rank general.

The day before the army was dispatched, Bei Chenlong summoned the army to the school grounds. The school grounds in Xingbeiguan accommodated more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, and it was already very crowded. The soldiers promised loudly:

"I Bei Chenlong and the emperor are family relatives, and they are also the descendants of the royal family who are qualified to inherit the lineage. The emperor's brother is not benevolent, arrogant and extravagant, oppresses the poor people, does not defend the enemy outside, and provokes the situation inside. If this continues, Beichen Kingdom will definitely Fall apart!"

"All of you are the generals of Beichen. Right now, the country's power is declining, and the world rises and falls. It is everyone's responsibility! If I, Beichenlong, can sit on the throne one day, you will all be the founding fathers! The three generations of blessing!"

Between his words, his emotions were quite agitated. Bei Chenlong couldn't remember the last time he was so moved, but at this moment, his heart was full of enthusiasm, as if he suddenly became a dozen years younger, and once again The motivation to fight, coincides with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the opportunity that cannot be missed will not come again!

The army in the audience shouted loudly:

"King Xing will conquer the world!"

Bei Chenlong smashed the wine bowl in his hand with force, and drank:

"Send troops to the south!"

The army set off on the same day, and time was in a hurry, and Lin Aoxue didn't even have time to meet Yunyan again.

Bei Chenlong appointed Pei Qing and Lin Aoxue as pioneers in the Central Plains, leading an army of 300,000 troops to the south, while he himself left 200,000 soldiers and horses to continue guarding Xingbeiguan.

When the army passed Yiping, the gate of Qi Mo city opened wide, allowing the team led by Lin Aoxue and Pei Qing to pass unhindered.

Jueyang is a small county town surrounded by several small villages. Compared with Yiping and Xingbeiguan, the density of villages around Jueyang is relatively high, because Xingbeiguan is a border city, and there are many wars and chaos all year round. They were trampled by the iron hoofs of barbarians, and the surviving people moved to other places, or went to Xingbei Pass. Over time, the villages outside the pass became sparse.

Because the harvest of the farmland was not very good, seeing the war coming, the people were all locked out, but Pei Qing and Lin Aoxue led the army, and they inevitably had to borrow the way from the village outside the city. They did not stop for a long time when they passed by , and issued a strict order in the army, not to move a single cent of the people, and those who violated it were beheaded in public.

A soldier slipped under his feet and accidentally fell into the farmland, crushing a paddy field. Lin Aoxue ordered the man to carry ten military sticks. The whole team became more solemn. No one dared to touch the bottom line of the two generals. Those who wanted to pick a few grains from the farmland, and one or two melons, took it back with trepidation.

The team quickly left the village. Lin Aoxue ordered to rest outside the village, and then carefully counted the troops. They hid in the team and did not obey the military orders. All the soldiers who stole the people's property were all found, and Pei Qing was not at all. Soft-handed, he directly ordered a beheading, which made the hearts of the soldiers who had thought of stealing a chill go down.

Lin Aoxue and Pei Qing ruled the army strictly, and their attitude of unwillingness to condone the army was deeply rooted in the heart of the army. After that, the army walked through the village again, all in a hurry, with a solemn expression, no one dared to steal the mind again, and the marching speed accelerated a lot. .

When the people in the village heard about this, they were all surprised and shocked. When the southern army went north to attack the Xingbeiguan rebels, they also passed by these villages. At that time, the army was scattered, and the soldiers in the team made trouble in the village. It left a very bad impression on the people's hearts. Now that the army from the north has come over, Qiu has not committed any crimes. It is only the literacy of the army that has already distinguished the good and the bad in their hearts.

Two days after leaving Yiping, the army arrived in Jueyang City. There were not many troops in Jueyang City, only 20,000. Facing the 300,000 army behind Lin Aoxue and Pei Qing, the guards of Jueyang City were so frightened that they almost urinated. After taking off his pants, he could barely stand still with the help of his guards.

The surrounding city wall of the small town of Jueyang is built of mud tiles, but it is more than two feet high. If the city guards do not know the current affairs, Pei Qinglin and Aoxue will lead the army to attack, and the army will crush the city. Within an hour, Jueyang will be destroyed. And the garrisoned troops in Jueyang City are also trembling, lest the two sides really fight, then most of them will not survive.

The city guard of Jueyang didn't struggle too much. Lin Aoxue shouted from the city tower. The man immediately rolled and crawled to open the city gate. Anyone with a normal mind understands the current situation. If he resists stubbornly, he will not only suffer. One person, but the entire Jueyang behind him.

Emperor Tiangao was far away, and the team sent by the emperor had already been beaten by the army from the north to somewhere unknown. Lin Aoxue had a word to say first, not to kill those who descended, but to change the defense and take a pass. Fortunately, the army of the north gave it back. He has a way to survive, so he hastily responded.

The army stayed in Jueyang for half a day and rested for a while. At the same time, they replaced the city defense of Jueyang with the troops and horses they led. The soldiers in the city were merged into the army and marched to the next city together.

For half a month like this, the army led by Lin Aoxue and Pei Qing was devastated.

Lin Aoxue and Pei Qing traveled to three cities in a row and reached the hinterland of the Central Plains in just half a month.

It was the end of summer, but the sun did not show any signs of loosening. It was still burning the heaven and earth of Beichen. The ground was dry and cracked, and cracks like spider webs appeared in the fields. No charge. The famine is getting worse and worse, and ordinary people are suffering.

After Lin Aoxue and the two went south to the three cities, they also began to be troubled when they reached the fourth city named Baihe.

The farther the army is from Xingbeiguan, the wear and tear begins to gradually increase, and the army continues to march forward, and the team is also empty. The rice and grain of Xingbeiguan are used for disaster relief. It was a drop in the bucket, and it could not bring any substantial help to the situation of Lin Aoxue and Pei Qing.

They were stationed thirty miles outside the city of Baihe, and sent scouts to investigate the situation in the city. They received news that Baihe was very large, almost as big as Xingbeiguan, but its defenses were weak, and the army could easily break the city.

The reason why the city defense of Baihe is so weak is not that the city wall is not built firmly enough, nor that the city of Baihe is not strictly guarded, but because Baihe is the largest county town within a thousand miles. The victims defected to Baihe and rose up. Rebels also came to harass from time to time, robbing Baihe of food, and the city of Baihe was full of victims, dying of starvation.

At this time, it happened to be scorching hot weather, and the starved victims had no time to clean up, and soon a plague broke out in the city. There were so many people in the city, and the city guards were very busy. Turning a blind eye, the troops in the city of Baihe were separated. If there was no fixed salary in the army to receive, they would have been disarmed and returned to the fields and deserted.

This kind of environment is not suitable for fighting. Lin Aoxue and Pei Qing looked into the city of Baihe from the hillside outside the city. Undoubtedly, it will also cause trouble in the city.

Pei Qing handwritten an urgent report and sent people back to Xingbeiguan. In the evening, he received the latest military order from Beichenlong to let the army retreat and retreat to Wuyang, Lincheng, which is in Baihe. After a short rest, the troops were divided into two groups. 150,000 troops and horses marched towards the east and west sides to expand the territory of the northern border.

The marching process was undoubtedly very smooth, but Lin Aoxue encountered bandits in the process of leading his troops to the next city.

This group of mountain bandits was also one of the uprising teams, but they chose to be self-reliant and did not join the army in the north.

The leader of the mountain bandit is also a capable person. In such a dangerous environment, he revolted and revolted. Within a month after the war started, he gathered a band of nearly 10,000 bandits and burned them in nearby villages. Looted, occupied a mountain bag, and established himself as the king.

When Lin Aoxue's army passed through the valley, the second leader of the bandit soldiers sent people to guard on both sides. When Lin Aoxue's army turned into a long dragon and walked through the valley, he seized the opportunity and attacked the food-carrying team behind the army. The transport soldiers of this food and forage team were brought up by Lin Aoxue himself, and they could be regarded as Lin Aoxue's personal soldiers.

When the mountain bandits came, the transport soldiers reacted very quickly, immediately protecting the grain and grass behind the army, and quickly formed a formation, moving in a panic but not disorderly, to resist the attack of the mountain bandits.

There were a few good players in the bandit army, who rushed to kill bravely. Taking advantage of the chaotic terrain, they attacked one of the first movers, and they attacked in one wave. They killed more than a dozen soldiers under Lin Aoxue, and successfully took away a grain cart, but when they succeeded, they retreated. , was bitten by the soldiers carrying the grain, and it was difficult to escape.

Lin Aoxue's soldiers reacted faster than he expected. The bandit leader led his bandit soldiers to fight and retreat. After about a stick of incense, Lin Aoxue led his own guards on horseback. The bandit soldiers fought against Lin Aoxue. After more than ten moves, Lin Aoxue picked up the machete in his hand with a single shot.

When the bandit soldiers saw that the leader of the bandit had been captured, the sharp-eyed little leader immediately ordered to abandon the grain cart and retreat. That group of bandit soldiers came and went like the wind and soon disappeared. After that, Lin Aoxue did not order to chase, but ordered the army to speed up the march, pass through the valley, and station the army in a relatively open position to rest.

Lin Aoxue's soldiers threw the bandit's head on the ground and asked him his name and origin, but the man turned his face to one side and did not respond to any reprimands.

"I think your kung fu is good, why don't you go to Xing Beijun, but you want to be that mountain bandit?"

Lin Aoxue saw that the guard couldn't find anything from his mouth, so he walked forward in person, without putting on airs at all, raised his chin and signaled the guard to loosen him. Lin Aoxue's martial arts are outstanding, even if this person has two more hands, it is impossible for him to escape from Lin Aoxue's hands.

The bandit's head was really surprised. He glared at Lin Aoxue, and recognized that Lin Aoxue was the one who picked up the machete from his hand and knocked him down. The half mask on his face was too conspicuous. He quickly compared Lin Aoxue with the rumors. On the other hand, he did not answer Lin Aoxue's words, but instead asked:

"You are the Masked Rakshasa, Lin Aoxue?!"

Lin Aoxue was stunned when she heard the words. She never thought that she had such a nickname among the people. She raised her hand and touched her chin, and raised the corners of her lips in a funny way, and replied calmly:

"If the masked Rakshasa in your mouth is Lin Aoxue of Xingbeiguan, then it is me."

The bandit head snorted lightly, clicked his tongue, and hummed:

"It's better to be famous than to meet. I said that the masked Rakshasa was born so vicious, but I didn't expect it to be a little boy with a mask."

If you don't look at the half mask on Lin Aoxue's right cheek, her own appearance is actually pure and beautiful, and thanks to years of experience, her complexion is not as pure and flawless as that of ordinary women, even if she looks thinner than ordinary men, But there is a fierce aura in her body, and it will not let people associate her with a woman.

Lin Aoxue laughed when she heard the words, and was not in a hurry to question the origin of this person, but instead followed his words:

"This rumor is not credible. Seeing me coming now, but disappointing you?"

When the bandit saw that Lin Aoxue didn't raise the air and didn't deliberately make things difficult for him, the hostility towards Lin Aoxue in his heart was reduced by most, and when he heard this, he shook his head and answered honestly:

"No, you don't look very good, but your martial arts are really good, you deserve this title!"

Lin Aoxue was amused by this bandit. When she came before, she just wanted to test the depth of this bandit, but after a few words, she really wanted to attract him, so she asked again:

"Your kung fu is also good, why can't you think of a way to rob me?"

In this ambush, he brought thousands of individuals with him. There were only a few people, but he was very courageous. He dared to rob Lin Aoxue of the grain carts among the hundreds of thousands of people.

The corner of the bandit's mouth twitched, and he answered nonchalantly:

"We don't want to take advantage of the common people. Although we have wiped out all the bandits nearby, there is no food this year. The brothers have been hungry all the time. If we go on like this, we will all starve to death. Pass by, I'll try my luck!"

Lin Aoxue couldn't help laughing, but she didn't expect that the person who led a horse to her team was just hungry and wanted to try his luck.

At the same time, she also noticed what this person said, that the big boss refused to rob the farmers of the grain, and paid off the mountain bandits, but he was also a strange person. The corners of her lips twitched, and she asked with a smile:

"Since there is a shortage of food, why don't you join the army? After joining the army, you will naturally have food."

The bandit head listened to her words, but he pouted in dissatisfaction, and snorted coldly:

"Soldiers must practice on time every day, and orders are prohibited. Once a military order is issued, they will immediately go to the battlefield and die. How can you be a bandit and be happy!"

Lin Aoxue couldn't refute this point. In comparison, the bandits were indeed more at ease, but she was not in a hurry and replied again:

"If you want to get it, you have to pay first. You don't have to go hungry when you join the army. Isn't it reasonable to obey military orders in exchange? Do you think that's the truth?"

Hearing the words, the bandit head was stunned for a moment, his eyes thoughtful.

Lin Aoxue's mind changed, and she was no longer in a hurry to march. She raised her eyes to see the sky. It was almost time to fire. She waved her hand and told the team to stop, set up camp and cook. , turned and walked away.

She pondered in her mind whether this group of bandits and the leader of the bandits might be recruited. If it was true, then the bandits, although they were bandits, had a benevolent heart, and the bandit leader was also outspoken and born She has the talent to lead troops, and if she can recruit them under her command, it may be a help.

Lin Aoxue clicked her tongue, called Lu Sheng over, and secretly assigned him a task, asking him to go to the nearby villages to inquire about whether those villagers had heard of these bandits, and if they were really like the bandits. As I said, if the bandit chief cleared other bandits in the nearby mountains, and he did not move the farmers' food and grass, the village would definitely be able to find out about them.
