The general went out again at night

"I sent a lot of people to the southern border to investigate, but I haven't found any useful information yet. Where did it come from? What is the purpose? Is there anyone behind the scenes? We don't know at all." After a pause, Xia Qingshu continued: "The good news is, Since Dongyue, in the next few months, the tree coffin man has not come again, and the people have not heard such strange things. It is a great luck if there is only this one in the whole world, and we kill it."

Ji Qianyao said worriedly: "I'm afraid that it's still hidden in the dark, harboring evil intentions."

"Do your best and know the destiny, you don't have to worry too much." Xia Qingshu held Ji Qianyao's hand and said in relief.

Now that Ji Qianyao knew about it, he naturally wouldn't just sit idly by: "Doctor Jiang, I'll go with you, maybe I can help."

"Okay, let's go together."

The sun has been shining brightly for the past few days, and the temperature has picked up during the day. Jiang Xueqin ordered his men to move out the flame wood placed in the greenhouse and place it in the sun.After the tree coffin man died, a sapling grew out of his chest, and his whole body gradually decayed and disappeared, as if absorbed by the sapling, which was very strange.

What Jiang Xueqin saw with her own eyes was beyond shock. Within a few days, a humanoid corpse had completely turned into a sapling, leaving no bones left.If she hadn't been bold, she would have been terrified when she took care of the flame tree.

After placing the flame wood, she ordered her men to bring a few tables and stools and place them outside the tent.She sat beside a table and stool in the open air, half of her body bathed in the sun.

When Xia Qingshu and Ji Qianyao arrived, Jiang Xueqin was imitating the ink lines on the sheet onto the paper.

Hearing the rustling footsteps, she turned her head and was not surprised to see Her Highness the Eldest Princess coming with General Xia, "His Royal Highness Jin An."

Ji Qianyao nodded in response.

"What is Doctor Jiang doing?" Xia Qingshu asked as she sat down beside Jiang Xueqin, accidentally blocking the sunlight in front of her.

"I'm copying the image on the sheet. The general can't sit here and block the sunlight, and the image will disappear." Jiang Xueqin reminded.

"Okay, okay." Xia Qingshu recalled what he found that day, and hurriedly withdrew.

Only when it encounters sunlight will the image appear?Unheard of, Ji Qianyao was very curious: "Can you show the flakes to me?"

"Please take a look, Your Highness." Jiang Xueqin respectfully handed over the sheet.

Ji Qianyao first put the sheet in the shade and looked at it. After a while, there was no change on the snow-white sheet.Then, she moved the sheet under the light, and it didn't take long for the jet-black traces to emerge, curved and very obvious.Then move to a hidden place, the ink line disappeared immediately.

"I've observed it for many days. These ink marks will not change with the time and intensity of light. The lines are fixed, and I have imitated them." Jiang Xueqin handed over a piece of paper of the same size as the thin piece.

Xia Qingshu picked up the piece of paper and asked in confusion, "Then what do these ink lines represent?"

After Ji Qianyao looked at it, his heart sank, and the smile on his face disappeared: "This ink line is not like a word, not a picture, but a part of a certain line. If there are many such thin slices, does it mean that Come on, there are still many tree coffin men?"

Xia Qingshu was shocked.

Jiang Xueqin nodded and said, "I agree with His Highness."

Ji Qianyao asked again: "Is there any purpose for the tree coffin man Dongyue to come to the barracks? Does it want to kill someone? Or take something?"

Jiang Xueqin recalled it carefully, and shook her head: "I don't know, the tree coffin man appeared in the camp three times, and each time the location was different. I checked, and the locations of these three places are not connected, and there is no missing item."

Ji Qianyao: "It's impossible to wander here..."

"Perhaps... it has a purpose." Xia Qingshu suddenly said, and interjected: "I think it came after me."

Ji Qianyao's expression changed suddenly: "How to say?"

"Feeling." Xia Qingshu frowned: "It's just a...feeling."

Jiang Xueqin disagreed: "No way, if it is running towards you, it should have some actions related to you, such as appearing in your camp, fighting with you, or facing you, it will show Something out of the ordinary. But I've looked closely, and none of that exists."

"Did you find something?" Ji Qianyao asked with concern, his eyes glued to Xia Qingshu's face.

"Nothing." Xia Qingshu shook her head: "It's just a strange feeling..."

Xia Qingshu raised her eyes and saw that the two people beside her were looking at her with worried eyes, so she quickly changed her words: "Of course it may be my illusion...don't look at me so seriously."

Xia Qingshu's words had already aroused Ji Qianyao's concern, and it was impossible for her not to take it seriously.

She left the two of them, called Suxi to her side, and ordered her subordinate to check.

The matter of the tree coffin man is like a thorn that can't be helped, piercing the hearts of those who know it.Xia Qingshu was exhausted from military affairs, and she was already tired, but now a few more troublesome things disturbed her mood and kept her awake at night.

Among the many troubles, the most troublesome one is the military rations. Five days have passed, and the court is still ambiguous, saying that it is mobilizing food and grass from various places, and it will take some time.

Wait, how can I wait?The Tartars were not far away, waiting for an opportunity to move.As long as her side is disturbed, they will attack aggressively.

It doesn't matter if Xia Qingshu dies. Behind her, there are so many soldiers, and behind the soldiers, there are so many people from the north. How could His Majesty really have the heart to ruin the lives of so many innocent people?

Xia Qingshu felt terrible when he thought about it.

With too many thoughts, Xia Qingshu tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep at night.

Looking at the top of the tent in a daze, a warm hand emerged from the quilt and stroked her cheek.Looking down, Ji Qianyao slightly opened his eyes and looked at her.

"Woke you up?" Xia Qingshu said hoarsely.

Ji Qianyao shook his head, his soft hair brushed against Xia Qingshu's neck, itching: "Although I closed my eyes, I never fell asleep."

Xia Qingshu squeezed her body tightly and lifted the quilt up.

Ji Qianyao knew that Xia Qingshu had a lot of miscellaneous things in his mind, so he didn't want to bring up the troublesome things again, so he found another topic and said: "Xia Qingshu, what did you look like when you were young?"

The two of them haven't gotten to know each other well.

"When I was young?" Xia Qingshu thought about it seriously for a while, and said nonchalantly, "It's probably because people love each other, and flowers bloom when they see it."

"I must have had a slippery mouth at that time." Ji Qianyao joked.

Xia Qingshu categorically denied it: "That's not the case. When I was young, I often listened to my mother telling interesting stories about martial arts, and I was very yearning for the Jianghu. When I was four or five years old, I wanted to go to the world with a sword. At that time, my body was less than three feet, and I was holding a sword The sword, which was still tall, wobbled out of the door of the Hou's mansion, and behind him, a long line of servants from the mansion followed, covering their mouths and laughing at me."

Listening to Xia Qingshu's narration of childhood events, Ji Qianyao couldn't help showing Xiaoqingshu's appearance in front of his eyes, and he really liked it: "Where is it a joke, they think you are innocent and cute."

"When I was young, I clamored for a sword, but my father was worried, so he ordered someone to make a wooden sword to play with me. The wooden sword was light and would not hurt people, but the weight was still too much for me at that time. I hugged Mu Jian, before I reached the end of the street, was so tired that I was out of breath. Later, my mother who was hiding in the crowd saw that I was really tired, so she showed up and carried me back to the mansion."

"What happened when you returned to the mansion, Master Xia Hou reprimanded you?"

"No, he saw me leaving the mansion with his own eyes, and he followed behind. He was the one who laughed the loudest in the crowd. He didn't scold me, but he was worried that I would 'run away with sword' again, so he said something to me. He said that only adults can go to the Jianghu. I asked him, what is an adult? He told me that an adult is like the people around him. You can go to the rivers and lakes to play."

Ji Qianyao's smile got bigger and bigger, he pinched Xia Qingshu's cheek and said, "Why were you so cute when you were young?"

Xia Qingshu continued: "My biggest dream at that time was to become an adult as soon as possible, so I began to observe how adults act and speak, and secretly learned. By learning and learning, I learned to be old, so I talked a little when I was young. Not slick." Having said so much, Xia Qingshu just wanted to prove that she was not a slick person.

Naturally, Ji Qianyao was joking about the slick words, but after hearing Xia Qingshu tell anecdotes about her childhood, her attention was completely diverted to the soft and cute little Qingshu.She giggled: "I still like you in 'Run With Sword', you are small, silly, and so cute."

When Xia Qingshu became domineering, he was invincible: "No, you should like me no matter what."

Ji Qianyao said with a smile: "I still prefer you who are soft and cute."

Xia Qingshu looked anxiously, covered her body, leaned over and nibbled on Ji Qianyao's lips: "No, you have to prefer any kind of me."

Ji Qianyao has nothing to do with her: "Okay, okay, as long as it's Xia Qingshu, I love it."

Xia Qingshu showed a bright smile.

Ji Qianyao's eyes sparkled, obviously he still had more to say: "Did you have any other interesting stories when you were young? Tell me more."

Xia Qingshu supported Ji Qianyao's shoulders with both hands, and had other plans in mind: "Your Highness still wants to hear?"

"Want to hear."

"You can listen if you want to, but you have to follow the previous rules."

"What rules were there before?" Ji Qianyao didn't realize it all at once.

"In the past, in the Bieyuan, we always had sex first, and then talked about interesting things."

Ji Qianyao understood immediately, and his cheeks slowly became hot.

Afraid that she would not allow it, Xia Qingshu said with an aggrieved expression and tone: "How many Fridays have passed, I can't count them with two hands..."

Ji Qianyao snorted slightly: "That's such an exaggeration."

"Yes, if you don't believe me, you can count them yourself." Xia Qingshu felt aggrieved.

This appearance overlapped with the little Qingshu who envied other people as adults when he was young, and Ji Qianyao's heart softened.

She put her arms around Xia Qingshu's head, slightly parted her lips, and said with a light smile, "Then make it up to you."

Xia Qingshu lowered her head, and a gentle kiss spread on Ji Qianyao's lips...
