The first few sergeants who entered the door were tall and thin, with short eyebrows, and calm and serious. Behind him was a big red-faced man with a beard and beard, majestic and mighty.
Hearing someone inquiring about General Qiu's situation, they did not immediately introduce their general with enthusiasm like ordinary people, but showed a skeptical look.
The tall and thin man looked at Yuan Xiang'er and the others calmly, and saw that they were from the Central Plains and were accompanied by young female relatives. Then he slowed down a little, and sat down directly in front of Zhou Deyun with his hem.
"You wait to find out what happened to my general, what's the so-called?"
Zhou Deyun has always lived in the hinterland of the Central Plains, living a life of composing poems, throwing pots, and traveling to spring to listen to music, and he has always been with elegant, handsome and gentle people.
Suddenly, a group of army men from tigers and wolves, with the murderous intent that has not faded on the battlefield, clattered in armor, and cold blades like frost, sat around him with a crash, and could not help making his back feel cold.
Naturally, he dared not say that their general was his own wife, and he stammered for a while and didn't know how to answer.
The red-faced man was anxious. Seeing Zhou Deyun hesitated to answer, he lifted his palm the size of a fan and patted the table.
"You birdman, here to ask about my general's news, but I can't answer your questions. Could it be a meticulous work sent by a Huren?"
Zhou Deyun was startled by him, and his heart suddenly filled with grievances.
In the past, he was away from home, with generous hands and a crowd of servants. Everyone held him and complimented him. He had never been wronged. However, during this period of time, I rushed to the west, not to mention the wind and food, one would be frightened by the huge monsters, one would pass through the bone-laden villages, and would be yelled by these soldiers. Is very aggrieved.
You soldiers, what are you so proud of? Looking back to see the general, if it is really my lady, let's see how I let the lady take care of you. He thought bitterly in his heart.
"We are fellows in General Qiu's hometown. Because I heard that the general is here, we want to pay a visit." Qiu Yueming took over for Zhou Deyun.
He looked at the group of brothers in front of him with excitement in his heart, but he couldn't show any clues on his face, but his eyes were slightly red.
The thin and tall man's name is Xiao Lin, and the red-faced man is Zhu Xinyi. Xiao Lin Conghui is calm, Zhu Xinyi is brave and fortitude, they are his two closest brothers.
They both blocked guns for each other, and pulled out from the pile of dead people several times. They were brothers who lived and died together and had life-long friendship. He once thought that he would be separated from these brothers forever, and there would be no day to meet again. Unexpectedly, today there is still a chance to see them face to face like this.
Xiao Lin was also looking at the woman in front of him. He has never married a wife, but he also knows that in the frontier fortress, the status of women is very low, and when normal men talk, women are not qualified to interrupt.
In his impression, no matter where he went to be a guest at the senior's house, the women in the backyard were all men with their chests down, and they didn't dare to look at them directly. Don't say such a public interruption, they were not even qualified to go to the dinner table.
However, the person speaking in front of her was different from an ordinary woman. She sat there with her back straightened habitually, her hands resting on her knees naturally, her eyes were clear and she was looking directly at him without any sense of shame.
Xiao Lin inexplicably saw a sense of familiarity in the figure of this woman. It seemed that she was not an unfamiliar back house woman, but a brother in the account that she should be familiar with.
"Are you fellows of my general?" Xiao Lin asked, putting aside the strange thoughts in his mind.
Qiu Yueming swallowed the familiar name that he had almost blurted out, and calmed his mind.
"This... General, since he is a close person of General Qiu, I must have heard the general mention that there is a wild jujube forest in the back mountain of his hometown. The dates are sour and sweet, and very delicious. There is a small river at the foot of the mountain, inside. The river mussels are big and delicious. General Qiu has a partner named Da Pang who has been going up the mountain and down the river since he was a child. It is a pity that Da Pang was picked on the tip of a gun by the Huren who invaded the village when he was thirteen years old. military……"
It was a snowy night. They were besieged by the enemy for several days, running out of food and water, hiding behind the trenches, gnawing on the snow and ice on the ground to fill their hunger.
Qiu Yueming talked about the food in his hometown, the sweet jujube, the plump mussel, and his childhood friend who was looking for food together.
"Yes, that's right, the general only talked to us about this. It seems to be the general's fellow." Zhu Xinyi heard this, no longer doubted, clapped his palms, stepped forward and held Zhou Deyun's hand, hard. Shaking, "Ashamed, ashamed. Old Zhu, I'm a vulgar person, don't see outsiders, fellow villagers, we will take you to see my general."
Several people put down their guard, took out the bold enthusiasm of the Saibei man, and led Zhou Deyun and his party to the general's mansion.
All the way, Yuan Xiang'er and others asked about the current situation of the general Qiu.
"Speaking of the battle in Fengzhou, it was really thrilling. The thief's cold arrow hit the general's heart. The moment the general fell off the horse, I felt that the sky was falling and I cried on the spot." Zhu Xinyi talked about the battle in which General Qiu was injured a year ago, and still feels grief. "Fortunately, God heard my prayers. The general looked so dangerous at the time. He was in a coma for several days, but finally he returned. ."
Xiao Lin, who was walking in the front, couldn't help laughing as he listened to what he said.
"Linzi, why are you laughing? You were crying at the time. Don't think I didn't see it."
Xiao Lin was revealed short, his face was slightly red, and he explained to Zhou Deyun and others, "The general's situation was really critical at the time, so that during the period when he just woke up, he was a little dazed, so he made a special application. Withdraw from the front line to this Datong Mansion to recuperate. Who knows if it is here, it is inevitable to have a fight with the enemy."
Yuan Xianger and Qiu Yueming looked at each other, and they both heard the information they wanted from the words of these two generals. It seems that Qiu Yueming's body was indeed occupied by another unknown soul after he fell into a coma, and this person was very unsuited to Qiu Yueming's identity at the beginning, so he had to retreat from the front line by rehabilitating his injuries and settle down in this Datong Mansion. It was only because the enemy was besieging the city that he stepped forward and provoked the responsibility of protecting the city.
Several people were talking and came to the general’s office. They were facing a group of returning people. Among the crowd was holding a person, wearing a plain robe, riding a black horse, flying eyebrows into the temple, looking forward to extraordinary, righteous It was Qiu Yueming, the young supernatural general who became famous.
"Qiu Yueming" sitting on horseback and Qiu Yueming in Zhou Niangzi's body saw each other, and both were stunned on the spot. The person opened his mouth in surprise and was about to speak, then her eyes met Zhou Deyun.
Zhou Deyun was excited, and walked two steps forward, shivering and shouting Ding Yan by Lady Zhou’s name.
"Ayan, Ayan."
Ding Yan's eyelids widened in an instant, stood frozen for a moment, and ordered coldly, "Shoot these people away, and don't allow them to approach the general's mansion for half a step."
After saying this, she flicked her sleeves and entered the mansion first. Zhu Xinyi and Xiao Lin looked at each other, but they had no choice but to shook their heads at Zhou Deyun and others, and followed the general mansion.
After the general's order, Zhu Qi's gate closed suddenly. Give Yuan Xiang'er and the others a closed door.
Zhou Deyun suddenly panicked, and took Yuan Xiang'er to ask directly, "What's the matter, little sir? Isn't someone my wife?"
Yuan Xiang'er glanced at Wu Yuan, and Wu Yuan nodded, "It is indeed the soul of a woman, and her appearance is exactly the same as Zhou's wife."
Zhou Deyun said anxiously, "Since she is my lady, why do I recognize each other differently? My lady is the most knowledgeable and considerate. She has always been gentle and considerate to me. How can she be so cold and strange?"
At the moment in the general's mansion,
"General Qiu" strode away from the crowd, almost staggered into the wing, and locked himself in it alone.
In the dim wing, she was alone and wondering how long she had been sitting in it.
Until the sky darkened completely, Ding Yan still sat in the dark room, staring blankly at the dragon scale Ao Frost Armor on the shelf with her eyes open. The armor faintly gleamed in the darkness. Like the body she wore, bright and strong, it could give her freedom to ride the world, but it did not belong to her after all.
The door of the house opened with a creak, and a little warm yellow candle light came in, and it was her most trusted housekeeper who was holding the light inside.
"What makes the general so worried, I don't know if I can talk to the servants and listen to it." The housekeeper lady lit the lights in the house all the way, and the house gradually became brighter and warmer. "If it is the children found in the day, whether it is the autumn wind Someone’s relatives, as long as the general tells you, the servant will send you away. Why is the general so depressed?"
Ding Yan, the wife of the Zhou family, looked at the woman who had already passed the Zhaohua year. There was a hideous scar on the person's face, which was scratched by the person himself. This is a woman who was accidentally rescued from the fun field. Her husband was a gambler. He gambled so hard that he pushed her wife onto the gambling table and lost. It was Ding Yan who occasionally socialized and bought her tortured from the filthy land.
Even though she had endured such humiliation and ruined her appearance, the people in front of her were still gentle and calm, and helped her manage the huge general mansion steadily.
Yes, she is also a woman, and she can get through even this kind of hardship, and there is nothing she can't get through. Ding Yan thought in her heart like this.
"They're not fighting the autumn wind. It's me..." She sighed, and finally uttered the words that she didn't want to touch in her heart. "I took possession of other people's things, but I still can't bear to return them."
The housekeeper stopped her movements, revealing a look of incomprehension and surprise.
"Call in Lao Zhu and Linzi for me," her general said.
Xiao Lin and Zhu Xinyi stood in front of the "General Qiu" and listened to the training. Even a big boss like Zhu Xinyi realized that something was wrong.
The general sat in the top seat and watched them being silent for a long time. After all, he said, "After self-injured, he became lax and forgot many things, which caused a lot of trouble to the two brothers."
Xiao Lin and Zhu Xinyi exchanged glances, holding a fist and saluting, "What happened to the general today? Is there something wrong with those people? Or did the subordinates make any mistakes? But please be punished."
The most admired general in their hearts shook his arm, "It has nothing to do with you. I call you here, just to ask you one thing. After I was injured, is it any worse than before?"
Xiao Lin couldn't figure out what she meant, so he could only answer cautiously, "How did the general say this? Although the general has forgotten many things after being seriously injured, the general has redoubled his efforts this year, practicing martial arts and warfare, and is taking the past. I picked up all of them. This time the enemy’s siege, the general was even more disciplined and unparalleled in strategy. The soldiers and civilians in the city were given orders by the general, and it can be said that they all respect the general."
He saw his general breathe a long sigh of relief, and finally smiled, "That's fine, I know there is nothing inferior to others after all."
"Hurt, boss, what's the matter with you?" Zhu Xin said in a puzzled way, "boss, you don't know, in fact, everyone said that you have cured your bad temper with this illness. Before...hehe, everyone before. I'm very afraid of you. It is because I was stared at by you, and I have to sway in my heart for a day. Now this is just the right time. You even gave each of our brothers a cotton suit before the New Year, which moved those little boys It's teary."
He stabbed Xiao Lin in the arm, "You say yes, Linzi."
Xiao Lin agreed, "It is true. Before the general, I was strained in my heart, but now I feel a lot easier. I can do things more easily, and my subordinates feel that our army's mind is stronger than before."
"General Qiu" clapped his hands and stood up, "Yes, so I won't have any regrets. Even if I get back to the original shape, I will naturally still be me. Excuse me both of you for a trip to get those in the day Please come back."
In an inn in Datong Prefecture, Zhou Deyun red eyes and nose, sulking at the table full of dishes, without eating any food.
"You tell me why this is? Isn't the lady willing to follow me back to the luxurious and comfortable home, but rather to live in this bitter and cold place with yellow sand all over?" He put down his chopsticks and looked angry.
Qiu Yueming was also uneasy, eating with chopsticks without chopsticks.
In the afternoon, he walked around the city and found that the security situation in Datong Mansion was very good, the soldiers on patrol were well-trained, and the city guards were arranged in an orderly manner. He thought of the quick glance outside the General's Mansion, and saw his body leaping across the horse, with an outstanding grace, galloping forward, and he could hardly believe that it was a weak and beautiful woman.
"We will look for her again tomorrow. If she still has this attitude, we can only force her soul to be exchanged. Although I admire her, there is no reason to dominate other people's bodies." Yuan Xianger took out annoyed. The Linglong ball presented by the girl turned around in the air, and the cold bell made everyone present tremble.
Qiu Yueming: "This lady is very human. I am grateful for what she has done during this period of time. I hope I still have the opportunity to have a good chat with her."
Zhou Deyun held his head and still couldn't believe it. The lady saw his appearance, but she was not touched, she cried with joy. Instead, they fled and left quickly.
He wondered for a long time, conscious of the wealth of his family, and he was a good friend. The couple has always been in harmony. He only felt satisfied with this marriage. Why did the lady change her mind not long after coming to a place like the border fortress? , No longer miss him?
Nan He's back was stung by a scorpion, and it became black and blue. Yuan Xianger used the antidote plaster given by Nan He to change the dressing on Nan He's shoulder.
"Just ask Brother Qin Guan." Yuan Xianger said while applying medicine to Nanhe, "See if he is willing to come back here to face fierce enemies or live in your splendid and bustling backyard?"
"This, how can this be the same. The lady is a woman, how can she compare with Brother Qin Guan."
"Is there any difference? As long as you are willing to really think about it from the other person's perspective, you will find that as long as you are a person, regardless of gender, your thoughts and needs are actually the same."
Zhou Deyun couldn't accept it, so he was speechless and had to bury his head and eat.
"If your hand is hurt, don't move it. May I feed it to you?" Yuan Xianger coaxed Nan He with food.
"No...no need, a little injury." Nan He reached out his left hand to pick up the dishes.
"You want to talk about a little injury, just lick it. You tell me how to lick the back position?" Yuan Xianger raised the spoon and leaned close to him, "Ah, open your mouth."
"No, Axiang, you are partial, I want to feed too." Wu Yuan squatted on the chair and opened his mouth.
"Then I too..." Saburo squeezed beside him, opening his mouth as well.
Yuan Xiang'er was ridiculed by them for a while.
There is noisy here, and there are servants who have reported to the general for invitation.
"Really? The lady sent someone to invite me. She finally remembered that she was better at home. She changed her mind and wanted to go back with me, right?" Zhou Deyun jumped up, tidying up his clothes and pulling his legs, and followed him.
Yuan Xiang'er and Qiu Yueming looked at each other in surprise. The attitude of the lady Zhou in the morning was obviously very reluctant to meet them. Have you figured it out so soon?
Several of them followed the visitors into the General's Mansion and were invited into the main hall.
The Shenwei general was sitting on the main seat, saw them entering, waved and retreated. She raised her eyes to look at Qiu Yueming sitting in the guest seat, and was silent for a long time before she smiled bitterly.
"I never thought that my body is still alive, and you can still take her to me."
