In the military camp, the soldiers were all rough guys, and they would just find an open-air lake or water to wash themselves in, as long as they were clean.
But there was a girl following him. He couldn't take a girl to the lake where rough guys bathed.
Then I came out to look for water in a slightly remote place like this.
Yu Miaomiao put her clothes by the water. She didn't actually take off her clothes, so she went straight into the water. Anyway, this coarse linen clothes was meant to be thrown away.
The river water was very cold, especially at night. She only reached her calves, and the biting cold penetrated into her bones like needles.
She was sitting in such a shallow water, stirring up the water to take a bath, as long as she was roughly cleaned.
Li Qingyan had changed into regular clothes, curled up one leg, held a piece of grass in his mouth, and sat boredly on a tree trunk not far from Yu Miaomiao, closing his eyes to rest.
But the sound of water splashing at that time made him a little upset. He opened his eyes and sat up again.
The leaves were rustling. With his back facing Yu Miaomiao, Li Qingyan's legs were drooped.
There are only two things he has to do now.
The first was his brother.
The rebellion in the south has been suppressed by his troops, but the credit does not entirely belong to him, but more to his brothers who have been with him through life and death.
The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and life and death are only a matter of seconds. They are fighting with him with their lives.
Now that I have finally come back, I must fight for the benefits that my brothers deserve.
The new emperor's special banquet to counter the rebellion in the south is an opportunity, and he should be able to get it if he can.
The second thing is the Northern Expedition.
The Northern Expedition... this was his childhood nightmare.
Li Qingyan's body seemed to be imprisoned by countless branches extending from the darkness. He raised his head and looked at the moon. The moon hung high in the sky, just out of reach.
He stood on the tree trunk and reached out to touch the moon in the sky. He always felt that this time it was closer than before.
If we can unify the country, even if we die in battle, we will still get what we want.
At this time, a strange sound of footsteps suddenly sounded in the silent jungle.
Li Qingyan was immediately alert, and his ears almost stood up.
She definitely wouldn't move around in the shower, which meant there was a third person here.
The sound disappeared quickly, but Li Qingyan had practiced hard on the battlefield, and even the slightest unexpected situation could determine his fate. He was quickly aware of such a sound.
He quickly locked onto his target and jumped up from the tree trunk.
Before the person hidden in the darkness could run away, he was kicked to the ground by Li Qingyan, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he lost his mobility instantly.
Li Qingyan pinched his neck, his arm muscles flexed, and the blue blood vessels were clearly visible, and he lifted the man in black from the ground with one hand.
Just as he was about to ask, a cold arrow was shot at him. He subconsciously turned his head to avoid it, but the arrow missed.
Li Qingyan turned his head and found a few silver cold lights flickering in the darkness.
In the flash of lightning, he raised his elbow and hit the man in black hard on the neck. He only heard a click and the man was out of breath.
The cold arrow from the dark shot at him again, and he quickly disappeared into the woods and ran towards the little beggar.
Yu Miaomiao had just come out of the water and was about to put on a change of clothes. Suddenly, she was pulled into a broad embrace. The two of them had never been so close to each other like this. She could even feel the man's strong heartbeat. .
Li Qingyan couldn't care less about the embarrassing state of the person in his arms at this time. Now that the situation was critical, he could only take the person in his arms down the mountain first.
As long as we go down the mountain and mobilize the army to search, all the archers hidden in the mountain will die.
"Hold tight." Li Qingyan said in a deep voice.
Li Qingyan ran so fast that Yu Miaomiao screamed, all the air in her lungs was ripped out, and she couldn't even make a sound.
Even though Li Qingyan's hands were tightly holding her waist, Yu Miaomiao still felt uneasy. She hugged his strong body tightly with both hands and wrapped them around him to prevent herself from falling.
The Leng Jian behind was still chasing him, and there was even a tendency to increase in number. Seeing that there were fewer obstacles in the way to avoid the Leng Jian.
Li Qingyan originally went down the mountain and the people behind him couldn't catch up, but he was afraid that the little rabbit would be injured, so he turned around and jumped into the water with her in his arms!
There was a splash and water splashed.
Yu Miaomiao instantly felt pressure coming from all directions. She couldn't breathe at all. She unconsciously slumped in the water and could only rely on Li Qingyan to hold her and swim forward.
The instinct of survival made her struggle and slap Li Qingyan's body. Li Qingyan was like a rock, holding her tightly to prevent her from falling.
The cold and biting river water wrapped around her tightly, and her lungs hurt as if they were about to be crushed.
Just when Yu Miaomiao thought she was about to die from lack of oxygen, that handsome face suddenly approached. Yu Miaomiao wanted to avoid it, but Li Qingyan forcibly held the back of her head and kissed her.
The world seemed to have stopped, and the warm touch drove her crazy.
Yu Miaomiao closed her eyes and could only passively accept the air he passed over, and finally she could barely breathe.
After swimming for who knows how long, Li Qingyan finally carried her ashore, and those who were chasing her stopped chasing her.
Yu Miaomiao lay on the shore coughing crazily, her shoulders hunched and trembling. It was so cold that she felt that more than half of her life was gone.
The makeup on her face had long since disappeared, revealing her original face.
Li Qingyan's pupils shrank, he was shocked by her face, but he didn't have the mind to think about it at this time.
He took off his coat with one hand, turned his head and put it on the person in his arms.
Yu Miaomiao was almost suffocated to death. It was only because she moved the clothes Li Qingyan put on little by little that she could manage to breathe.
Li Qingyan put her back in the tent and mobilized troops non-stop to catch people on the mountain.
It was warm in the tent, but before she could recover, she turned her back to the door and poured herself a glass of water.
She was thinking about how to explain to the general that she had concealed her true face.
Just as she was deep in thought, she suddenly felt a suffocating touch on the back of her neck.
Yu Miaomiao paused all her movements instantly.
Li Qingyan didn't know why he came back.
He choked her and forced her to turn around.
Li Qingyan looked into her eyes and asked coldly: "Is it you?"
The first reaction in Yu Miaomiao's mind was that the general had discovered her.
But then she thought again, this situation was very unlikely.
What's more, I haven't said anything now, so I can't get into trouble.
She calmed down and recalled what had just happened.
Only then did he realize what the general meant. Li Qingyan probably wanted to ask if she had lured those people here.
This matter is actually very serious.
The people on the mountain are probably enemy spies, maybe they are here to assassinate Li Qingyan. If Li Qingyan dies, the country will lose a strong general, and the army's combat effectiveness will also be reduced a lot.
In addition, she deliberately concealed her face and assassinated an important official of the country...Yu Miaomiao did not dare to think any further...
She retreated subconsciously and was pushed against the tent by him. The shadow shrouded her entire body, and the strong smell of cedar covered her like a mask, which he had picked up on the mountain just now.
Li Qingyan's hand didn't shrink, but she just felt like she couldn't breathe. The touch was like a blade, slicing her neck one after another.
The soldiers outside were noisy, and the light from the torches shining through the tent hurt her eyes.
"It's not me." Yu Miaomiao put her hands on his chest and said with difficulty.
The tips of the two people's noses touched, and their breaths intertwined. Yu Miaomiao's hair was still wet, and the river water dripped on his arms and slid down again.
