dead in winter

==============

"Hahaha, I'm so impressed by General Xu's loyalty, please have some tea."

Wen Renling laughed lightly, and quickly called him to drink tea. The atmosphere between the two was strangely harmonious, until Xu Kang walked out of Wen Renling's study room and still did not recover.

Looking back at the heavily guarded study room, Xu Kang sighed and wiped away the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead.

After returning to his camp, the soldiers came over to salute one after another, showing great respect. Xu Kang nodded with a stern expression. At this time, a group of children surrounded him. face of terror

Xu Kang also let them jump up and down on him, his face was amiable

Walking out from behind a group of children was a thin man wearing cotton and linen clothes. He had a handsome face and walked with a limp, as if he had bad legs and feet. The man looked at Xu Kang with a smile on his face, "Come back gone?"

Xu Kang frowned, hurried over to help the man, and reprimanded him in a low voice

"Qingyuan! You didn't listen to me and ran out without permission!"

The man named Qingyuan smiled softly, "I'm not a disabled person, can't I just walk around?"

Xu Kang was choked by him, and quietly wrapped his big hands around his thin waist, sticking to his earlobe and said:

"Aren't I afraid that you will feel uncomfortable? After all the tossing around last night, does that place still hurt?"

Qingyuan's face turned red, and she punched him in embarrassment, turned around and looked at a group of children who were covering their eyes but staring at them with their fingers wide open.

"Old color embryo, the children are watching here, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"A Yuan is ashamed"

"They are doing things that cannot be seen. My aunt said it. I saw the president's needle eye." The little boy with his hips on his hips spoke plausibly

"Wow, shy, shy, run!"

...

A group of children laughed and ran away, Qing Yuan turned around with an angry expression, Xu Kang raised his eyebrows

"My Dajin man, why can't I know?"

Qingyuan ignored him, turned around and walked into the house, sat on the kang and picked up some old clothes to continue to mend, Xu Kang followed him in, pulled him into his arms, slid his palm down, caressed there, and said in a low voice, " Really all right?"

Qing Yuan panicked and pressed his hand, "You are crazy, Xu Kang, if people see you in broad daylight, you will be ashamed to death, and my reputation will be ruined!"

"It's okay, the soldiers are all in the martial arts arena at this time, and the women have gone to the river to wash their clothes. No one is here. Let me see if you are injured. I left in a hurry this morning, and I won't have time to give you medicine in the future."

Xu Kang's breathing was a bit rough, the two of them dragged back and forth, Qing Yuan moved restlessly, her buttocks brushed against her %2F from time to time, she was forced to stand up even if she didn't want to do anything

"You...you...we have something to talk about, I just let you see it, don't make a move..."

Qing Yuan's face was flushed, he was half ashamed and half annoyed, but his heart was full of anxiety. He held Xu Kang who wanted to kiss his lips, took a breath, and said softly

"Today... did something happen?" Qing Yuan carefully observed Xu Kang's face

"It's like this after coming back from the king, is the king..."

He stopped talking, feeling that he shouldn't say it at this time, and looked at Xu Kang anxiously.

Xu Kang stopped his movements, looked deeply at Qing Yuan, rubbed his hands, and said in a low voice, "A Yuan, we need to make preparations earlier." He hugged Qing Yuan tightly

"After the queen's death, the king's condition became more and more serious, and I'm afraid it won't last long."

He caressed Qing Yuan's cheeks, the skin hurt from the rubbing of his big hands with thick calluses, he looked at Qing Yuan affectionately, and said softly

"I have to find a way to get you out"

"Aren't you going?" Qingyuan grabbed his hand tightly, feeling sad in her heart, "Even if he saved your life, all these years of life and death have repaid his kindness. Are you still willing to follow him and bear his constant pain? An outburst of rage?"

"Xu Kang, please be sober. King Jing is heartless and ruthless. If you follow him, one day you will perish. If you die, how will you tell me to live?" Qing Yuan clenched Xu Kang's big hand, tears in his eyes, Xu Kang hug him

The two embraced tightly, as if they wanted to rub each other into their bones, like the last pair of lovers in the end, waiting for their fate to come...

After a while, Xu Kang was silent and said, "I promise you, I will go back to find you alive, but now I can't leave easily, now my name and appearance are known to many people, and I will surely implicate you if I am with you, Qingyuan , do you understand?"

Qing Yuan nodded, with a lot of worries in his heart but a difficult smile, "I know." Xu Kang looked at his face and sighed

"In a few days, I'll find an opportunity to send you down the mountain, and rush to Youzhou immediately before the war is about to break out. It's probably the safest place in Dajin right now."

The two discussed for a while, Xu Kang returned to the main story, spontaneously took off %2F Qingyuan's clothes, and took the medicine calmly, but Qingyuan, who was already an adult man, was easily subdued by Xu Kang like an eagle catching a chick, and could only face %2F The red%2F ear%2F redly lay on his thick thigh and mumbled

"Can't you wait until night to do this kind of thing?"

"What I did tonight was business, and now it's just an appetizer. Well, fortunately, I didn't get hurt. Ah Yuan is doing well!" Xu Kang said with a wicked smile. Get dressed and help him up again

Qing Yuan sat up, left his arms and was pulled back, "What are you running, is your waist uncomfortable, let me rub it for you?"

"Hmm..." Qing Yuan's voice was full of reluctance, but it was easily blocked by someone, and he could only make a small sound

"Tsk, when He Ying died, who was in charge of escorting him?" Ying San sat on the tree with his legs bent, chewing beef jerky, and said unhappily. The people sitting under the tree were speechless.

Ying Wu quickly gestured with her hands, but she couldn't see her face clearly under the cloth mask, Ying San was dizzy and told her to stop

"Stop, stop, sister, stop chanting, my eyes are going to be dizzy"

Ming Fan took the medicinal materials out of the side room and put them in the small courtyard to dry, asked Ming Yue to come over to help, and looked up at Ying San on the tree

"Little San'er, come down to help if you have nothing to do, don't trouble your fifth sister."

Ying San made a gesture of surrender, turned over and jumped off, handed the cloth bag with beef jerky in his hand to Ying Wu, put the back of his hand behind his head, and said boringly

"Why are we here? Obviously, everyone else followed the master to Wuzhou." He looked at the closed door of the wing with a discouraged expression

"I also really want to go with the master, Ying Si's elm bump can follow, why can't I!" He chopped off his feet, quite a bit arrogant like the little boy next door

Mingyue gave him a cold look, Yingsan shook her body, and smiled apologetically, "Ah no, I didn't mean you, Sister Mingyue, I was just... just" Yingsan was poor at words, and slowly stepped back behind Yingfive, trying to shrink Body

Ying Wu silently patted his paws on her shoulders, Ming Fan changed into a light green dress again today, which complemented her fair complexion and beautiful face, she picked up the ice jade earrings, she rolled up her sleeves and fiddled with them. laughing at the medicine

"The battlefield is not a child's play. The master chose to leave us to take care of Mr. Wen after careful consideration. Besides, depending on your temperament, going there may not help you."

Ying San whispered "Cut"

Mingyue's icy cold voice sounded, "Master is usually tolerant to you, but it doesn't mean we will. Do our part well and don't worry about the rest."

Ying San nodded stiffly, lying behind Ying Wu with a flustered expression, not daring to speak

"Mingyue is the same, don't scare Xiaosan'er at every turn, he will be scared out of his wits." Ming Fan comforted, Mingyue snorted coldly and didn't speak, Ming Fan was helpless

After packing up the herbs, she sat on a small table beside her drinking tea, and asked strangely, "Xiao San'er, why are you asking about He Ying now?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I just think that He Ying's death is too strange, the master just sent someone to take her to Shangjing, and then she was assassinated on the way, don't you think it's a bit strange?" Ying San also felt bored, so he asked started this matter

"Ah~" Ming Fan covered his mouth lightly, and whispered as if suddenly remembering, "That's true, but Xiao San'er, it's best not to know about her." Ming Fan made a gesture of shutting up, blinking. Blinking, Ying Wu also nodded earnestly, Mingyue was even more gloomy and cold, and did not speak.

Ying San scratched his head in wonder, and could only suppress the doubts in his heart. Ming Fan smiled and nodded, calling him a good boy, and glanced sideways at the closed door, a trace of coldness flashed across his eyes.

...

Dao Qing replaced the cloth towel on Wen Shu's forehead and replaced it with a new wet cloth, with a worried face

Dao Heng was lying on a small couch beside him, holding a piece of green grass in his mouth, "Have you not retreated yet?"

"No, if the fever doesn't subside like this, I'm afraid it will hurt the foundation again." Dao Qing said with a tired expression. He has a sloppy beard, bloodshot eyes, and black face. He has been staying by Wen Shu's bedside for several days.

Daoheng let out a "tsk", turned over and stood up, "I'm afraid the Gu worm in his body is causing trouble again."

The temperature has not been very good these few days and I have contracted the wind and cold. In the past, I was in a weak hospital because of bloodletting too much, and I was already weak.

Even if his body was made of iron, he couldn't bear it anymore, not to mention that Wen Shu's foundation is poor, and he was supported by Gu poison. Now the lost blood has not been replenished, and the Gu worms in his body cannot be nourished, so they naturally start to make trouble

Walking to Wen Shu, Dao Heng helped the unconscious man and let him lie in his arms. His thin body was like a feather. Dao Heng frowned, supported Wen Shu with one hand, and felt his pulse with one hand. A piece of strap on the top, angrily said

"Damn it, what are you doing with this thing?"

The unconscious man frowned and let out an uncomfortable moan. Dao Heng pulled it off, revealing his bony and miserable wrist

The skin and flesh there have long since disappeared, and the bones can be seen in the depths. There is only a little bit that is involved in the left hand below, and the rest is only a deep knife scar. The wound has long been unable to recover. road

"You might as well let the little highness wear a bandage, every time you see the little highness, you always feel sad."

"Oh..." After Dao Heng fed Wen Shu the pills, he sneered coldly, "Why did you let him carry Wen Shuojing's things? It's better to let him look at this place every day, so that he won't forget himself."
