After more than a month, the weather became more and more frighteningly cold, and there had been several snowfalls.After Qin Shi got up in the morning, he read the newly delivered crimson silk-faced book, and then threw it into the brazier and burned it.

It was snowing heavily and it was inconvenient to practice, so Qin Shi asked all the soldiers to stay in their tents.On the other hand, he picked up a military book and read it slowly while sitting under the lamp.

"General, a letter from Nishikaihara."

Zhong Lin came in hurriedly with a stack of letters in his hands. Qin Shi raised his eyes and took the letter as if he didn't see the person covered by the fallen curtain.

The light crackled, he rolled up the letter and burned it on the light, "Did the messenger say anything?"

"Reporting to the general, no, just let us stand by in Pulan."

"Abacus well..." Qin Shi murmured, "Forget it, you go out first, let the soldiers on patrol tonight be alert, there may be changes. Let Ruan Shen come to visit again."

"Order."

When Zhong Lin went out, he patted the shoulder of the person at the door heavily, and left with a sigh.

Xuanyan was holding a bucket of frozen water and remained motionless.

The sound of armor and weapons came from inside the tent, Xuan Yan raised his head and shouted in a hoarse voice: "General Qin..."

Wearing armor, Qin Shi raised the pole and came out, brushing past him without even looking at him.

It was snowing all over the sky, and it hurt people's cheeks.Xuanyan put down the bucket, picked up a long knife, and hurriedly followed.

General Ruan Shen was a hulking man, and followed Qin Shi before him.He looked strangely at Xuan Yan who came running out of breath: "General, this kid is the valet you took in earlier?"

Qin Shi groaned, without giving a single look, and lifted the curtain of a tent.

The tent was originally in disarray, but was blown by the cold wind, and was about to jump up and yell at Qin Shi, when he saw Qin Shi's face, he was dumbfounded: "General..."

The soldiers were uneasy. They thought he was going to reprimand them, but they didn't expect Qin Shi to tell them to put on tight clothes, so they turned and went to the next camp.

If so, even General Ruan can't figure it out.With just one look, Xuan Yan, who was silently following behind, was immediately dragged away by Zhong Lin.

General Ruan Shen looked at Xuan Yan who had disappeared into the tent, "I thought you wanted to make him your confidant. No wonder you didn't let Xie Qi teach him."

Qin Shi was noncommittal, but said indifferently: "Xi Hai believed it this morning."

Ruan Shenjiang suddenly became nervous, Qin Shi pulled his beard and said with a sarcasm: "Weiyuan camp is short of manpower, let's get out of camp and go to Xihaiyuan early."

"Death." Ruan Shenjiang answered coolly.

The two didn't speak for a long time, and they walked to a remote place in the camp unknowingly.Qin Shi looked at Chongchong's tent and sighed, "I'm the one who dragged you down..."

General Ruan Shen smiled and said, "Where is the general? If it weren't for the general, the Shenwu Battalion would have collapsed in Xihaiyuan half a year ago. We only know how to wield knives and guns, and don't care about the thoughts of the adults in Yujing. The general treats us Alright, we didn’t treat our Shenwu Camp as the waste of the Western Army, the general is our benefactor.”

The two of them were chatting one after another, the atmosphere was heavy, while Xuanyan was dragged into the tent on the other side, and the tent suddenly exploded.

"Hey hey, let me have a look, isn't this the popular man next to the general?"

"Look at this fat meat, it looks like water when photographed."

Everyone said a word, which made Xuanyan speechless.Zhong Lin coughed twice, blocked him behind him, pointed to the surrounding soldiers and said, "Hey, stay away from me, if you come closer, believe it or not, I'll tell the general."

One of them approached with a monkey-like smiley face, and scolded, "Well, you Zhong Lin, how long has it been since you turned your elbows out? Are you going to sue the general for being a fat man? Do you think we are brothers?"

"That's right, let go of the fat man, and my master will loosen his bones!"

There were a total of seven or eight people in the camp, booing at Zhong Lin and Xuanyan.Xuan Yan felt that he had heard the saying of loose bones somewhere, but after thinking about it carefully, it was exactly what Qin Shi said, so he couldn't help laughing.

Zhong Lin was clever, and pushed the fat man forward: "Don't you want to know about the general? Ask him, ask him!" He turned and ran.

The two rushed forward, failed to catch Zhong Lin, and looked over with malicious intentions.

Xuan Yan: "..."

These soldiers talked arrogantly, and didn't intend to really loosen his bones, so they dragged him to sit in the tent and poured him a large bowl of wine.

The wine is Pu Lan's famous strong wine, and the smell of the wine alone can overwhelm a bear.Xuan Yan didn't dare to touch it, and quickly changed the subject: "What do you want to know about the general?"

Everyone looked at each other, and asked like a monkey: "Tell me first, what do you know?"

Xuanyan thought for a while, scratched their ears and scratched their cheeks anxiously, whetted their appetites, and then said slowly: "I actually know quite a lot..."

There is a green light all around.

"Does the general wash his face?"

"Will the general practice sword skills before going to bed?"

"Will the general beat you often?"

Everyone asked in a hurry, and one of them smiled obscenely: "Is the general's... long?"

Xuan Yan: "...?!"

I have said everything I can say, and I understand what I can't say.Everyone sat around in a circle contentedly, discussing excitedly.

A thick-backed man patted him on the back sighingly, envious and jealous: "Actually, my brothers were quite jealous of you before, thinking that you, a fat man who is so fat that you can roll, are qualified to be the general's valet. Later I heard Said it was the wind blown by that kid Xie Qi—I don’t know if you’ve heard of it? Xie Qi was shaved before, and that’s why.”

Thinking of that scout with more eyes than stars, Xuan Yan silently shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.Feeling that this was an excellent opportunity, he asked, "What's going on, Mr. Si?"

As soon as these words came out, the complexion of the audience changed.

Xuanyan realized that the question was not at the right time, and was thinking about how to change the subject. The hulking man said in a muffled voice, "It's Yujing's senior official, Si Taiwei, Si lord. The general was sent to our Shenwu Camp of the Western Army. his meaning."

"General Qin offended him?"

"Really?" The man sighed, "The two of them have a story that can't be finished for three days and three nights."

For the first time, Xuan Yan left the soldier's tent with a jug of wine, and walked towards the general's tent with a heavy heart.Halfway there, he suddenly remembered that he was resting in Zhong Lin's tent, so he could only look at the general's tent and smile wryly.

When the lights in the camp dimmed, someone lifted the curtain.Xuan Yan didn't have time to dodge, and faced Qin Shi directly.

Qin Shi didn't wear armor, but a fur coat, and his beard was covered with ice, as if he had just finished drinking.Holding the long knife, he gave Xuan Yan a cold look, and walked away on his own.Xuan Yan wanted to back away, but unexpectedly followed him.

The snow that fell the night before did not stop until this evening, everything was silent, and the moon was just beginning to appear.Xuan Yan followed from a distance to the side of the school field, watched him lift the wine jar on the stage, took a sip, and then turned back to the center of the school field.

It was the first time for him to watch Qin Shi practice martial arts so carefully.The sound of the long knife piercing the air was like cracking silk, and the light of the knife flickered, as if splashing moonlight on the ground.

People in Xuantianmen mostly use long swords, but rarely use knives, especially long knives, which don't seem to show a sense of elegance.He thought so too.Now that he saw Qin Shi using a knife, he knew that the knife could be used so lightly and flexibly, which made him feel refreshed.

Such outstanding martial arts.

He was distracted for a while, Qin Shi had already put down his long knife, raised the wine jar and drank it in one gulp, then turned his gaze to him.

Xuanyan slowly stood up straight.

Qin Shi didn't intend to fight him, but shook the wine jar at him.Holding the wine bag, he pulled out the cork in a daze, and took a sip—

Qin Shi looked at him sitting on the ground choked up, laughing so hard that the stage was shaking.

The insolent laughter spread throughout the entire Shenwu Camp, and it took Xuanyan a while to recover, stood up with a wry smile and walked towards him.

Under the light of the moon, the two sat on the platform and drank together. Looking around, there was a vast expanse of snow.

"Do you have this kind of scenery in the place where you practice immortality?"

For more than a month, Qin Shi spoke to him for the first time.Xuanyan was stunned, and took a sip of wine, "Yes, but I focus on improving my cultivation and never look at these things. One year, it snowed heavily, and even the study room was crushed by the snow. It was the senior brother who came to see me, and I just Know."

Qin Shi also smiled: "The general is also busy practicing martial arts, which is about the same as you. On the contrary, that lord has a lot of leisure and elegance, and he likes these romantic things."

That lord should be Lord Si.

Xuan Yan sipped his drink, and suddenly heard him say: "I misunderstood you earlier, thinking you were sent by him."

"How do you know it's not?"

Qin Shi sneered disapprovingly, "If it was his subordinate, a large number of them would have been poisoned to death as soon as they arrived here."

Xuanyan wanted to laugh when he heard it, and wanted to ask him, but his mind was dizzy, and he fell on his back unknowingly on the platform.

The vast expanse of snow in front of my eyes seems to have returned to the days when I just entered the mountain gate.

More than a dozen seniors doted on him, the newcomer, and gave him all the good things first.

The snacks that the second senior brother went down the mountain to buy secretly, the pill that the sixth senior brother just made, and the sword manual that the ninth senior brother cherished like his life.

When the wine gets stronger, Xuanyan is so hot that he wants to cry.He was staring at the moonlight in the sky, and Qin Shi unexpectedly came to look at him carefully.A hand full of calluses patted his cheek, and sighed softly.

"It's really like..."

Xuanyan didn't know who he was talking about.The four eyes met, Qin Shi's rough and fleshy face was really sorry for his deep eyes, which suddenly woke up Xuan Yan's drink.The smell of sweat on his body was thick, accompanied by the heat from the martial arts training just now, it was steaming slightly, impacting Xuanyan's facial features.

"Starting tomorrow, I will personally teach you martial arts, are you willing?"

Xuan Yan frowned, his expressions were squeezed together, and his lips moved.Qin Shi thought that he wanted to talk, so he lowered his head and leaned towards him, but he stretched out his hand and pushed him over, vomiting all over his body.

"...Damn you looking for a cut!"

Qin Shi yelled, Carp flipped upright, slapped him into the snowdrift, and walked away angrily.

Xuanyan didn't move, he took a mouthful of snow silently, and seemed to be awake.

...Damn, this rough guy really smells bad.
