The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Under the scorching sun, the steaming gravel burned my feet...

A huge group of people, but only a few 20 or so people were left, walking in the desert under the scorching sun...

After crossing this desert slope, you will reach an oasis in the heart of the desert, where the Tubo army is stationed.

The journey that would normally take half an hour by camel took us nearly an hour and a half.

After traveling non-stop for a whole day and night, they were already drenched in sweat from the sun, their backs were swollen and they walked with their backs bent.

"Miss Hua, we've been marching like this all day and fighting several battles. We're a little exhausted. How about we take a rest here?"

Mu Qi slumped down on the ground, making a hole in the gravel with his butt, and accidentally slipped down the sand slope.

Zuo Nian and the others watched him roll down without helping him.

They stuck the hilts of their swords into the sand, sat down in a row, and looked down at Mu Qi, who had fallen flat on his face at the bottom of the slope, as if watching a play, and laughed heartily...

"Major General Mu, it's okay, just go slow, we'll be waiting for you!"

Hua Ye pulled open the kettle with force and drank several mouthfuls of water impatiently. His lips had already been cracked and chapped by the sun, but they began to become moist again after getting wet.

Mu Qi didn't get angry and just lay down on the gravel with his arms and legs spread out, covering his face with his yellow robe and taking a short nap.

But the sun was so strong that Mu Qi got up in less than a minute and walked up in one go.

"There's a shady spot down this slope. Let's rest there."

Before Mu Qi came up, Hua Ye got up first and rushed down another slope. At the bottom of the slope was a ruined city.

Most of the place is covered by yellow sand, and the people who lived here in the early years have long since fled to Xingxiu City.

Hua Ye took Zuo Nian's hand and walked through the ruins, turning around and around until they found a stone house half buried in yellow sand.

She brushed off the gravel on the door panel and pushed it gently. It was cool and dark inside, a perfect place to escape the heat and hide one's tracks.

Zuo Nian took out a dagger and used the reflection of sunlight to convey a message: Come down!

Mu Qicai climbed up and rolled down from this side again. He was completely confused and had no time to think about it.

"Heavy guard, it's so hot, why don't you take off your mask and cool down."

Hua San pulled the heavy guard who was standing still and looking angry, slid down on the fine sand, and in the blink of an eye they arrived under the ruins.

Hua Ye left the door open for a while to let some oxygen in so that it wouldn't smell so suffocating when he went in.

Chongming rushed to Hua Ye, his eyes full of pity for her.

＜So fighting in the military is so hard and tiring? How did you get through it before?＞

"Miss Hua, I'm exhausted. I've finished my water. Do you have any more?"

"Heavy guard, I saw you never even drew your sword when we fought. You're tired just walking around!"

Hua Ye pretended to be ignorant even though he knew the truth, and did not expose him. His words were full of sarcasm.

"The Imperial Guards spend all day in the magnificent palace. Their swords must be rusty, right? Have they never marched like this?"

"That's because we haven't traveled far and wide like the renowned Weihua Army, so we're inevitably a little overwhelmed."

The guard's peach blossom eyes never left Hua Ye's face, and there was a smile in his eyes.

＜Will you say a few more words to me!＞

"Here, don't die of thirst in this place, or His Royal Highness will blame me!"

Hua Ye pulled off the water bottle she had drunk from from his waist and prepared to hand it over. Zuo Nian took it off his waist without saying a word and stuffed it directly into the hands of the heavy guard.

Hua Ye took the kettle open, gulped down two gulps, and continued: "I don't have much left, you can drink Major General Zuo's!"

＜Zuo Nian, you are quite aggressive. Be careful, he might use you as a target!＞

She glanced at Zuo Nian several times with vague eyes, then looked at the heavy guard who was holding the water bag and didn't know whether to drink it or not.

"Why don't you drink?"

The disgust in the heavy guard's eyes was obvious, but he had to pin it around his waist.

"I have to go pee first..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the heavy guard quickly turned around and ran behind a sand pile not far away.

Hua Ye was also surprised and was reluctant to swallow the water in his mouth.

When has he ever been so blunt?

Her eyes followed his figure, her black pupils swirling around, wanting to understand him clearly...

Zuo Nian saw that her almond-shaped eyes were glued to him, so he crossed his eyes to block her gaze.

"Is he so good-looking?"

"But he is much more handsome than you!"

"Hua Ye, say it again!"

"Hahahaha... just tell the truth, don't be angry!"

Hua Ye's little face was pressed against his arm. He looked up at Zuo Nian with a bright smile and said, "But I like you better!"

Just one sentence controlled Zuo Nian, and the jealousy that was rising in his heart immediately dissipated, and an unknown blush appeared on his cheeks.
