After a good night's sleep, when Ruoshui woke up again, the sun was already shining outside the window.
He stretched contentedly, and when he got up, he heard a faint sound coming from the bamboo forest outside.
Curiously, he looked out the window. In the bamboo forest not far away, Yi Yun was wearing a water-blue gown and was practicing sword.
The bamboo leaves in the forest were swept down by his sword energy, and they fluttered down one after another.
Yi Yun has a thin figure, and his sword-holding hand dances gracefully. His swordsmanship is exquisite, and every move seems to have tenderness, but it is also too sharp to ignore.
After dancing a whole set of sword skills, the outstretched long sword was covered with bamboo leaves, layer upon layer, even if people used their hands to swing it, it couldn't be placed so neatly.
Ruoshui couldn't help yelling "Hello" in his heart, and jumped out of the window.
"Mr. Yiyun said yesterday that he forgot the formula of Zhanqing Sword, but he lied to me, right? For you, I am afraid that it is something you will never forget."
With a deep smile on his face, Ruoshui approached Yi Yun, raised his finger and flicked lightly on his sword, and the leaves of that sword fluttered up one after another as if blown by the wind.
Yi Yun raised his eyebrows, stared at him for a long time, and then slowly smiled, "Mr. Jun, you are very special."
Ruoshui chuckled when he heard the words, the light in the phoenix eyes was astonishingly bright, "Then, since I'm so special, can Mr. Yiyun do me a favor?"
"what?"
"Xuanyuan built five slingshots to throw stones, and we still need a pitcher. If we can get Mr. Yiyun's help, Jingyue City will definitely be able to catch them."
When Ruoshui said this, he showed a confident smile, as if they had already captured Mirror Moon City.
Looking at him, Yi Yun felt his fighting spirit and confidence, and suddenly felt that his emotions that had been silent for two years were boiling at that moment.
Although Xuanyuan never asked him to help, but in fact, he once thought that if Xuanyuan needed him, he would definitely do something for Xuanyuan.
"I think Xuanyuan decided to build an extra slingshot at the beginning because he thought of Mr. Yiyun, so it wasn't to help me. In fact, I wanted Mr. Yiyun to help Xuanyuan and the Xiliu army."
As if he could sense Yi Yun's emotions, Ruoshui added another sentence while the iron was hot, and the words were so beautiful that Yi Yun couldn't find a reason to refuse.
He thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Originally, I could really refuse, but you moved out of Xuanyuan and Xiliu's army, so I have no reason to refuse."
"That's really great. I'll ask Xuanyuan for a reward later." Ruoshui clapped his hands, looking very excited.
"My lord..."
Yi Yun reluctantly opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Ruoshui interrupted him with a smile, "Brother Yi, you should call me Ruoshui, we are so young and young, when will we not get along with each other?"
These words stunned Yi Yun for a moment, and then he smiled and nodded, "Alright, it seems that I will definitely make friends with you as a friend."
"I guarantee that it will be beneficial to Brother Yi and not harmful." Shaking his head, Ruoshui's playful appearance made Yi Yun helplessly laugh in a low voice.
At this time, the person who led the way last night had already walked over with a bag. Yi Yun took it and looked at Ruoshui with a faint smile, "So, let's go on the road after we have something to eat."
"Okay." He agreed with a rather smug smile, and Ruoshui suddenly felt extremely relieved.
After eating breakfast, the two of them went to Mr. Cheng to bring Liuyun back and set off on the road. Yi Yun's horse was not as fast as Liuyun, so it was half a day slower for the two of them to return to Mirror Moon City than if Ruoshui came alone.
The patrolling soldiers saw Ruoshui from a distance, and happily passed the news to Xuanyuan. When Ruoshui and Yi Yun got off their horses, Xuanyuan had already come out of the tent.
He was still following Mr. Fu, who was probably changing his dressing just now, when the two of them saw Yi Yun, their faces were filled with joy.
"Boy Ruoshui, I didn't expect you to come back with such a good helper." Mr. Fu looked at Yi Yun and said with a smile on his face.
Outsiders say that the old man of Qianyi has a weird temper, but looking at it now, he is a kind old man.
Ruoshui made a grimace with a smile, his brows and eyes were full of complacency.
Yi Yun smiled slightly at Mr. Fu, and said respectfully, "Old Doctor Qian, long time no see."
"No, when I saw you last time, you and Xi Qing didn't retire. You two are really young. What are you playing about retiring from the rivers and lakes?"
Old Fu shook his head helplessly as he spoke. He said it casually, but the speaker didn't mean it, but the listener meant it.
Just this subtle expression change, but was caught by Ruoshui who was always watching him, Ruoshui narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Yi Yun thoughtfully.
Yi Yun didn't answer Fu Lao's words, but turned to Xuanyuan, met those deep and waveless eyes, "Ruoshui said he wanted me to do you a favor, so I'm here."
Xuanyuan heard that the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and turned his head to look at Ruoshui, just as Ruoshui was also looking at him, the two eyes met in the air, and they smiled at each other knowingly.
"With your help, it's like a tiger with wings." Shrugging, Xuanyuan replied.
Hearing this, Ruoshui raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Xuanyuan, in fact, when you built an extra slingshot, you were thinking about Brother Yi, right?"
"I really thought about it."
"Then why didn't you tell me before I left? Let me invite Brother Yi."
"How did I expect you to invite him? Besides, you are so smart, why do I need to say it? Don't you always say that you are nosy?"
The implication was that although he didn't remind anything, just because of Ruoshui's nature, he would invite Yi Yun to help.
"Good you Xuanyuan Ye, you hurt me around the bend!" Ruoshui didn't know whether to laugh or cry after reacting, and punched Xuanyuan directly in the chest.
Xuanyuan luck resisted, the two collided with each other, and separated from each other, he said funny: "You said this before."
"I can say it myself, but you can't."
Seeing the two of them bickering with each other, Yi Yun sighed helplessly, and while feeling that they were childish, he handed out the bag in his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, you two, stop fighting, Niu Pi The tendons are all here, how is the slingshot doing?"
Xuanyuan raised his hand to take the bag, stopped messing around with Ruoshui, nodded and said: "Everything is ready, I only owe Dongfeng."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and led the way to the place where the slingshot was made. Ruoshui and Yi Yun exchanged glances, and followed along with Mr. Fu.
On the open space covered by the military tent, there were five completed slingshots. Xuanyuan asked people to put the rubber bands on. He stretched out his hand to tighten the rubber bands to test the elasticity, and then nodded with satisfaction.
Yi Yun glanced at Jingyue City from a distance, and said solemnly: "The city is very high, and it seems that it is not easy to throw a big rock onto the tower."
"Well, but now we can only put all our eggs in one basket, and this method is not a perfect solution. If we fail tomorrow, we will not be able to use it again. It can be said that it is all or nothing."
Ruoshui answered the words with a smile while stroking his chin, but seeing his relaxed expression, he was clearly sure.
Xuanyuan slightly nodded his head firmly, and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow's war will not only be successful in throwing stones, but also successful in attacking the city."
If the plan of throwing stones is successful but the city is not captured, then once the opponent comes up with a defensive strategy, the move is doomed to fall short.
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, this plan was originally a plan for a fierce attack, it was all about one effort, and tomorrow's victory or defeat was determined by one action.
"Isn't it necessary to practice this method of throwing stones?" Lin Qi felt pressured after hearing Xuanyuan's words, and asked uncertainly. To be honest, he was very suspicious of his own ability.
His family has been court generals for generations, and has his own set of martial arts routines, but because it is aimed at the battlefield, he is known for his boldness and boldness, and is not as delicate as those schools in the martial arts.
Although his internal strength is not weak, it is really difficult for him to hit the whole thing on a stone at the right time.
Ruoshui laughed, patted Lin Qi's shoulder and jokingly said, "Lieutenant Lin, it seems that you are not sure about yourself?"
"I really... don't have the confidence to take on this important task."
Scratching his head, Lin Qi gritted his teeth with embarrassment on his face. Although he felt that it was a bit embarrassing to say such a thing, it is better to say it clearly now than to cause chaos when he arrives on the battlefield tomorrow.
He didn't want to be a drag on the whole army.
"Then go and practice." Xuanyuan said lightly on the side. Seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, Lin Qi was secretly relieved and nodded excitedly.
"Alright, let's go." Ruoshui thought for a while, and seemed to have an idea, smiled slyly, and motioned for Lin Qi to follow him.
Yi Yun and Mr. Fu were obviously also very interested, so they raised their legs and followed together. Xuanyuan didn't follow because it was inconvenient for him to leave the barracks.
The four of them led the horses and ran a few hundred meters towards the foot of the mountain, and then they came to a place on the plain where there were many boulders piled up.
Those boulders were all rolled down from the mountain for various reasons before, but now they are gathered in one place, which looks like a stone circle.
Ruo got off the horse, picked two moderately sized stones, turned his head to look at Fu Lao and Yi Yun, "Old man, brother Yi, if this is the stone used for throwing stones tomorrow, how would you use your strength?"
"Hehe, you need to be clever. Although this stone looks big, it was broken on the spot if you were not careful." Mr. Fu walked to the side of the stone with a smile, touched the surface of the stone and raised his eyebrows.
Yi Yun nodded, walked to another stone, stared at the stone intently, formed a palm with his fingers, and stamped his palm on it with a gentle touch.
The stone flew straight forward as if being pushed hard by someone.
The stone flew nearly a hundred meters before stopping, Lin Qi's eyes widened and he blinked a few times, swallowed and said, "Mr. Yiyun is really powerful, he succeeded with one blow."
Yi Yun shook his head, and said helplessly, "No, I threw stones on the ground just now, but tomorrow we will throw stones into the air. The force seems to be a bit lighter."
"That's right, although there are still slingshots, but the slingshot is actually the auxiliary force."
Ruoshui squinted his eyes and finished speaking, and the palms under the white clothes also turned up and hit the stones. The stones shook and rolled out, sticking to the ground and rolling out a hundred meters away.
"Well, it seems that Ruoshui's method is more effective than mine." Seeing Ruoshui's stone stop, Yi Yun said after thinking.
Mr. Fu nodded, glanced at Ruoshui appreciatively, and said, "The biggest advantage of this kid is his brains, haha."
"Old man, I'm going to be embarrassed if you praise me like that."
Ruoshui made a shy expression, which made both Elder Fu and Elder Yi laugh, and the atmosphere of the practice became particularly relaxed. Unfortunately, Lin Qi still looked dazed, which made Elder Fu and Elder Fu sigh heavily.
No matter what, Lin Qi is one of the leading figures in the army, and he is still young, so why is his mind so dull?
Ruoshui explained the trick to Lin Qi in detail. After hearing this, he had an expression of enlightenment, and then excitedly picked a stone to practice.
Unexpectedly, with the first palm, he smashed a stone that was not much shorter than him to pieces.
This action immediately made Yi Yun and Fu Lao turn their heads away speechlessly, Ruoshui couldn't hold back, and laughed wantonly, then patted him on the shoulder to signal him to continue.
Lin Qi's whole face was swollen and red, and he continued to practice like a monkey's butt.
It was not until more than a dozen stones later that he finally fully grasped the trick of exerting force. Seeing that it was getting late, the four got on their horses and went back to the barracks.
In the evening, the sky gradually darkened, and the dark night billowed from a distance, but in the blink of an eye, all the light left by the bright sun was chased away.
The silvery moon hangs alone in the sky, but it only casts a dim light.
After Ruoshui and the others had dinner with Xuanyuan in the tent and discussed the specific tactics for tomorrow, they each went back to the tent to rest.
When the start was about to end, Yi Yun suddenly looked at Xuanyuan Wen: "Where can I rest? Is there any extra in your camp?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone realized that there was really no place for him to sleep.
Although the soldiers' tents below were large, there were already more than 20 people crowded into one tent. For a person like Yi Yun, it was naturally not easy for him to sleep in that kind of place.
The general's camp should be cleaner, but because it is relatively small, it can only accommodate two people at most.
Now Ruoshui and Lin Qi are in the same tent, and Fu Lao is in the same tent as Zhang Xiaowei. It seems that there is only room for people to squeeze in, Xuanyuan, the handsome tent.
"Just rest here." Xuanyuan didn't mind the difference in identity at all, and spoke directly after thinking for a while.
Yi Yun glanced at him, then suddenly looked at Ruoshui and asked, "Who are you camping with?"
This kid is also an unexpected character. Now that he is with the army, he naturally squeezes into a tent with others.
"Lieutenant Lin and I." Ruoshui didn't understand why he asked this for a while, so he answered truthfully.
Yi Yun glanced at Lin Qi, and a deep smile appeared in Tao Hua's eyes.
He walked up to Ruoshui and patted him on the shoulder, "Ruoshui, let me change with you, and share the tent with the prince, and I won't be able to sleep."
"Huh? But..."
Ruoshui realized that he had been cheated, and instinctively wanted to object, but Yi Yun didn't intend to give him a chance to refute. He grabbed Lin Qi and walked out quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Hey! Brother Yi, how can you..." Ruoshui opened his mouth and shouted, but it's a pity that Yi Yun, who had already walked out of the handsome tent, turned a deaf ear to him.
Mr. Fu glanced at each of them, stroked his beard, squinted his eyes and smiled, and walked out.
Ruoshui only felt that the atmosphere in the tent that had suddenly quieted down became particularly strange, he frowned, and glared in the direction of the tent door resentfully.
"Ruoshui."
At this time, Xuanyuan's deep voice came from behind, Ruoshui turned around and stared at him with some dissatisfaction.
Really, if you go out to march and fight, you should prepare more tents. If it breaks down, you should have a backup, right?If he had brought more tents, he wouldn't be in such embarrassment at this moment.
Xuanyuan looked at his mournful phoenix eyes, walked to the corner of the tent, spread out the folded bed, took out one of the mattresses and spread it on the side, and moved the thin quilt and small pillow over.
After doing this, he said calmly: "Every time the soldiers go out to war, they will bring back many camps that have not been used in the later period, so I later realized that there is no need to bring more camps, because the people who need them will only increase. Less."
Ruoshui was stunned by Xuanyuan's words, thinking of the vanguard that was almost wiped out on the day of the first battle, and looking at Xuanyuan's indistinct expression hidden in the shadows, a sense of sadness filled his heart.
I also realized that the other party had such an idea, it was entirely because he didn't understand how heartbreaking it is to go to war.
"Sorry, I didn't understand your feelings."
Going up to him and squatting down, took the quilt from his hand and folded it by himself, watching him silently helping her make the bed, Ruoshui felt that there was a heavy weight in her heart, and she couldn't stretch it out no matter what.
Xuanyuan didn't answer, sat down on his own bed, watched Ruoshui straighten the quilt after three or two movements, couldn't help but shook his head, "It's because you are much more proficient, thanks to the fact that I learned from the mother in the palace. "
Ruoshui couldn't help smiling when he heard the words, and also sat down on the bed, with a sly smile in his phoenix eyes, "You are a prince, how could you experience this kind of thing yourself, unlike us, who have to learn everything since childhood. "
Xuanyuan remained silent and did not refute. Judging from his expression, he felt a little helpless. After sitting quietly for a while, he began to take off his clothes.
There was no battle, he didn't wear battle armor today, under the brocade coat was a white tunic, the tunic fit snugly on his body, clearly outlining his figure.
Ruoshui didn't know what was wrong, so he just stared at him like this, never thinking that he should actually take off his clothes and get ready to sleep.
Xuanyuan didn't realize that Ruoshui was looking at him until he was about to take off his outer pants, the hand that had already been put on the waistband of his trousers stopped immediately, he frowned slightly, and looked at Ruoshui, "What's wrong?"
Ruoshui was suddenly brought back to his senses by his question, only then did he realize that when he saw him lost his mind just now, his cheeks suddenly became hot.
He shook his head and quickly covered it up: "No, I was just wondering if the injury on your shoulder will affect the throwing of stones tomorrow."
"Old Fu said that the new muscles have grown, so it's not a problem."
"That's it, that's good, I'm not sleepy yet, go out for a walk, you go to sleep first." After speaking hastily, Ruoshui stood up and ran out in a hurry, not forgetting to blow out the candles in the tent before leaving up.
Facing the sudden darkness, Xuanyuan was slightly taken aback, glanced in the direction Ruoshui left, and thought: This guy is really in good spirits.
Ruoshui stepped out of the handsome tent, the oncoming evening wind made him shiver slightly, he stretched out his hand to touch his slightly hot cheek, bit his lip and sighed helplessly.
What happened to him just now?
This was not the first time he was in the same small space with Xuanyuan, but the composure he had in the cave before was gone now.
Only when he saw Xuanyuan taking off his clothes just now, he remembered Xuanyuan's lean but strong perfect body that he had seen in the cave that day.
He lived a secluded life with his master since he was a child. Although he has a good relationship with his brothers and sisters, everyone also maintains a proper distance from each other.
That day in the cave, it was the first time for him to see a naked body, but at that time he didn't think much about it because he was anxious to save Xuanyuan's life, but now that he has settled down and thinks about it, he feels a little distracted.
Because of the hard life when he was young, Ruoshui's physique is slightly smaller than that of ordinary men, and no matter how much he eats, he can't grow much flesh. Even after many years of martial arts, he still looks thin and thin, not at all full of Xuanyuan's The look of strength and masculine feeling.
He has to admit that Xuanyuan's body is the same as his but has a very different body, which makes him feel a little envious.
Thinking of this, he pinched his arm childishly. Although there were muscles there, it was a pity that he couldn't see it with his clothes.
Wait, shouldn't you be thinking about these questions now?He let go of his hand with black lines all over his head, and took a deep breath.
If he can win Mirror Moon City tomorrow, the Xiliu Army's campaign will be half successful, then his trip will be meaningful.
Just as he was thinking about going back early to rest and recharge his batteries, a faint melodious flute sound floated over from a distance.
The sound of the flute was clear and sweet, drifting faintly with the wind, the tune was slow and inexplicably sad.
Ruo Shui followed the prestige, and he, who had excellent eyesight in the night, soon saw a water-blue figure sitting on a hillside in the distance.
The moonlight cast a blurred light on the shadow, making the man look even more lonely. Ruoshui's meddling temper broke out again, so he breathed out his true spirit and ran towards the hillside.
"Brother Yi, you stole my tent, why don't you go to bed and watch the moon and play the flute here?" Ruoshui asked with a smile as he ran to Yi Yun's side in one breath, winking at him.
He knew that Yi Yun had something on his mind, but if he still asked questions seriously at this time, the atmosphere would be too depressing. He didn't come here specially to increase Yi Yun's boredom.
Yi Yun was sitting on a big rock, and when he saw Ruoshui, he put down his flute, but his expression was really unhappy, "You are still not asleep."
Ruoshui raised her eyebrows and continued to smile, her phoenix eyes were full of moonlight, very bright, "How can I still fall asleep when I hear such a beautiful flute sound?"
After finishing speaking, he jumped onto the boulder and sat cross-legged beside Yi Yun, as if intending to continue listening to the beautiful flute sound.
He stretched contentedly, and when he got up, he heard a faint sound coming from the bamboo forest outside.
Curiously, he looked out the window. In the bamboo forest not far away, Yi Yun was wearing a water-blue gown and was practicing sword.
The bamboo leaves in the forest were swept down by his sword energy, and they fluttered down one after another.

"Well, it seems that Ruoshui's method is more effective than mine." Seeing Ruoshui's stone stop, Yi Yun said after thinking.
Mr. Fu nodded, glanced at Ruoshui appreciatively, and said, "The biggest advantage of this kid is his brains, haha."
"Old man, I'm going to be embarrassed if you praise me like that."
Ruoshui made a shy expression, which made both Elder Fu and Elder Yi laugh, and the atmosphere of the practice became particularly relaxed. Unfortunately, Lin Qi still looked dazed, which made Elder Fu and Elder Fu sigh heavily.
No matter what, Lin Qi is one of the leading figures in the army, and he is still young, so why is his mind so dull?
Ruoshui explained the trick to Lin Qi in detail. After hearing this, he had an expression of enlightenment, and then excitedly picked a stone to practice.
Unexpectedly, with the first palm, he smashed a stone that was not much shorter than him to pieces.
This action immediately made Yi Yun and Fu Lao turn their heads away speechlessly, Ruoshui couldn't hold back, and laughed wantonly, then patted him on the shoulder to signal him to continue.
Lin Qi's whole face was swollen and red, and he continued to practice like a monkey's butt.
It was not until more than a dozen stones later that he finally fully grasped the trick of exerting force. Seeing that it was getting late, the four got on their horses and went back to the barracks.
In the evening, the sky gradually darkened, and the dark night billowed from a distance, but in the blink of an eye, all the light left by the bright sun was chased away.
The silvery moon hangs alone in the sky, but it only casts a dim light.
After Ruoshui and the others had dinner with Xuanyuan in the tent and discussed the specific tactics for tomorrow, they each went back to the tent to rest.
When the start was about to end, Yi Yun suddenly looked at Xuanyuan Wen: "Where can I rest? Is there any extra in your camp?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone realized that there was really no place for him to sleep.
Although the soldiers' tents below were large, there were already more than 20 people crowded into one tent. For a person like Yi Yun, it was naturally not easy for him to sleep in that kind of place.
The general's camp should be cleaner, but because it is relatively small, it can only accommodate two people at most.
Now Ruoshui and Lin Qi are in the same tent, and Fu Lao is in the same tent as Zhang Xiaowei. It seems that there is only room for people to squeeze in, Xuanyuan, the handsome tent.
"Just rest here." Xuanyuan didn't mind the difference in identity at all, and spoke directly after thinking for a while.
Yi Yun glanced at him, then suddenly looked at Ruoshui and asked, "Who are you camping with?"
This kid is also an unexpected character. Now that he is with the army, he naturally squeezes into a tent with others.
"Lieutenant Lin and I." Ruoshui didn't understand why he asked this for a while, so he answered truthfully.
Yi Yun glanced at Lin Qi, and a deep smile appeared in Tao Hua's eyes.
He walked up to Ruoshui and patted him on the shoulder, "Ruoshui, let me change with you, and share the tent with the prince, and I won't be able to sleep."
"Huh? But..."
Ruoshui realized that he had been cheated, and instinctively wanted to object, but Yi Yun didn't intend to give him a chance to refute. He grabbed Lin Qi and walked out quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Hey! Brother Yi, how can you..." Ruoshui opened his mouth and shouted, but it's a pity that Yi Yun, who had already walked out of the handsome tent, turned a deaf ear to him.
Mr. Fu glanced at each of them, stroked his beard, squinted his eyes and smiled, and walked out.
Ruoshui only felt that the atmosphere in the tent that had suddenly quieted down became particularly strange, he frowned, and glared in the direction of the tent door resentfully.
"Ruoshui."
At this time, Xuanyuan's deep voice came from behind, Ruoshui turned around and stared at him with some dissatisfaction.
Really, if you go out to march and fight, you should prepare more tents. If it breaks down, you should have a backup, right?If he had brought more tents, he wouldn't be in such embarrassment at this moment.
Xuanyuan looked at his mournful phoenix eyes, walked to the corner of the tent, spread out the folded bed, took out one of the mattresses and spread it on the side, and moved the thin quilt and small pillow over.
After doing this, he said calmly: "Every time the soldiers go out to war, they will bring back many camps that have not been used in the later period, so I later realized that there is no need to bring more camps, because the people who need them will only increase. Less."
Ruoshui was stunned by Xuanyuan's words, thinking of the vanguard that was almost wiped out on the day of the first battle, and looking at Xuanyuan's indistinct expression hidden in the shadows, a sense of sadness filled his heart.
I also realized that the other party had such an idea, it was entirely because he didn't understand how heartbreaking it is to go to war.
"Sorry, I didn't understand your feelings."
Going up to him and squatting down, took the quilt from his hand and folded it by himself, watching him silently helping her make the bed, Ruoshui felt that there was a heavy weight in her heart, and she couldn't stretch it out no matter what.
Xuanyuan didn't answer, sat down on his own bed, watched Ruoshui straighten the quilt after three or two movements, couldn't help but shook his head, "It's because you are much more proficient, thanks to the fact that I learned from the mother in the palace. "
Ruoshui couldn't help smiling when he heard the words, and also sat down on the bed, with a sly smile in his phoenix eyes, "You are a prince, how could you experience this kind of thing yourself, unlike us, who have to learn everything since childhood. "
Xuanyuan remained silent and did not refute. Judging from his expression, he felt a little helpless. After sitting quietly for a while, he began to take off his clothes.
There was no battle, he didn't wear battle armor today, under the brocade coat was a white tunic, the tunic fit snugly on his body, clearly outlining his figure.
Ruoshui didn't know what was wrong, so he just stared at him like this, never thinking that he should actually take off his clothes and get ready to sleep.
Xuanyuan didn't realize that Ruoshui was looking at him until he was about to take off his outer pants, the hand that had already been put on the waistband of his trousers stopped immediately, he frowned slightly, and looked at Ruoshui, "What's wrong?"
Ruoshui was suddenly brought back to his senses by his question, only then did he realize that when he saw him lost his mind just now, his cheeks suddenly became hot.
He shook his head and quickly covered it up: "No, I was just wondering if the injury on your shoulder will affect the throwing of stones tomorrow."
"Old Fu said that the new muscles have grown, so it's not a problem."
"That's it, that's good, I'm not sleepy yet, go out for a walk, you go to sleep first." After speaking hastily, Ruoshui stood up and ran out in a hurry, not forgetting to blow out the candles in the tent before leaving up.
Facing the sudden darkness, Xuanyuan was slightly taken aback, glanced in the direction Ruoshui left, and thought: This guy is really in good spirits.
Ruoshui stepped out of the handsome tent, the oncoming evening wind made him shiver slightly, he stretched out his hand to touch his slightly hot cheek, bit his lip and sighed helplessly.
What happened to him just now?
This was not the first time he was in the same small space with Xuanyuan, but the composure he had in the cave before was gone now.
Only when he saw Xuanyuan taking off his clothes just now, he remembered Xuanyuan's lean but strong perfect body that he had seen in the cave that day.
He lived a secluded life with his master since he was a child. Although he has a good relationship with his brothers and sisters, everyone also maintains a proper distance from each other.
That day in the cave, it was the first time for him to see a naked body, but at that time he didn't think much about it because he was anxious to save Xuanyuan's life, but now that he has settled down and thinks about it, he feels a little distracted.
Because of the hard life when he was young, Ruoshui's physique is slightly smaller than that of ordinary men, and no matter how much he eats, he can't grow much flesh. Even after many years of martial arts, he still looks thin and thin, not at all full of Xuanyuan's The look of strength and masculine feeling.
He has to admit that Xuanyuan's body is the same as his but has a very different body, which makes him feel a little envious.
Thinking of this, he pinched his arm childishly. Although there were muscles there, it was a pity that he couldn't see it with his clothes.
Wait, shouldn't you be thinking about these questions now?He let go of his hand with black lines all over his head, and took a deep breath.
If he can win Mirror Moon City tomorrow, the Xiliu Army's campaign will be half successful, then his trip will be meaningful.
Just as he was thinking about going back early to rest and recharge his batteries, a faint melodious flute sound floated over from a distance.
The sound of the flute was clear and sweet, drifting faintly with the wind, the tune was slow and inexplicably sad.
Ruo Shui followed the prestige, and he, who had excellent eyesight in the night, soon saw a water-blue figure sitting on a hillside in the distance.
The moonlight cast a blurred light on the shadow, making the man look even more lonely. Ruoshui's meddling temper broke out again, so he breathed out his true spirit and ran towards the hillside.
"Brother Yi, you stole my tent, why don't you go to bed and watch the moon and play the flute here?" Ruoshui asked with a smile as he ran to Yi Yun's side in one breath, winking at him.
He knew that Yi Yun had something on his mind, but if he still asked questions seriously at this time, the atmosphere would be too depressing. He didn't come here specially to increase Yi Yun's boredom.
Yi Yun was sitting on a big rock, and when he saw Ruoshui, he put down his flute, but his expression was really unhappy, "You are still not asleep."
Ruoshui raised her eyebrows and continued to smile, her phoenix eyes were full of moonlight, very bright, "How can I still fall asleep when I hear such a beautiful flute sound?"
After finishing speaking, he jumped onto the boulder and sat cross-legged beside Yi Yun, as if intending to continue listening to the beautiful flute sound.
