"Hey, did you hear what I said?"
Su Pingchuan prides himself on being aloof and not a nosy person. This time, he suddenly felt like doing something kind, but the other party didn't even say a word of thanks. He looked dazed from the beginning and didn't even respond.
"Xiao Nanhui..."
"Okay, I understand." Xiao Nanhui said, holding the broken gun barrel, and walked away with his head down.
Su Pingchuan stood there, his face turning pale and blue, and he inexplicably felt like he had been slapped in the face.
He looked at the receding figure and was finally about to take a step to catch up when a voice sounded behind him unexpectedly.
"Where are you going, General Zuo?"
Su Pingchuan's back stiffened. The other party's movements and aura were so superb that he was approached without realizing it.
The person who spoke didn't seem to intend to scare him. He took a few steps forward and stood beside him. Only then did Su Pingchuan see the person clearly.
It was an ordinary face, a bit forgettable, but it seemed to be the sword-wielding guard who had been around the emperor in recent days.
The other party seemed to guess his confusion and spoke first, "I am Ding Weixiang, Lieutenant of the Yanchi Camp. I have been ordered to summon General Zuo to the meeting tent to discuss the matter of moving camp tomorrow."
Yan Chi Camp?
It's strange, why does this opening line seem like a long time ago... somewhere I heard it before.
Su Pingchuan looked at the face of the person in front of him again, then moved his gaze to the badge on the other person's waist, and temporarily suppressed his doubts.
"I understand. This is over."
The two of them walked towards the meeting room, one in front and the other behind. Ding Weixiang turned his head slightly and glanced in the direction where Xiao Nanhui left, and sighed inaudibly.
******************
Xiao Nanhui is not good at hiding her thoughts, and her emotions are often exposed in front of people close to her.
Therefore, from childhood to adulthood, whenever she encountered something sad, she would run away alone and hide in a deserted corner.
Only in this way, no one would ask her the whole story with sympathy.
Only in this way, she wouldn't have to try so hard to pretend nothing happened when she was hurt.
She is not a person without pride, but most of the time, she buries her pride deep down.
Just like now, she will bury the weapon that defends her dignity with her own hands.
She asked the logistics soldier for a shovel, carried it on her shoulders, walked a long way from the camp, found a deserted place, and started digging a hole.
Whenever she saw the broken string, she would think of the moment when Xiao Zhun cut off the barrel of her gun, the teeth marks on his hands, the beautiful woman in the tent, and what she said.
So she wanted to dig a hole and bury the gun, so that she could out of sight and out of mind. But in the end she couldn't bear to do it, so she could only let her emotions torture herself.
After digging for a while, Xiao Nanhui felt a little tired. He looked down and saw that the hole on the ground was big enough to bury half a horse.
She sat down on the ground, staring blankly at the dark pit. Her eyes suddenly felt sore and her throat tightened, making it difficult for her to breathe. Finally, she screamed in frustration.
She thought she would shed tears, but found that she couldn't cry no matter what. She just wiped her eyes in vain, hoping to rub out some of the emotions she had vented.
She couldn't really identify what emotion it was; she just felt wronged and a little angry, with a pent-up anger in her chest that she couldn't let out. She had never felt anything like this before, and she was a little overwhelmed.
She retracted her outstretched hand, unclenched her clenched fist, and after a long hesitation and struggle, she finally wrapped the broken gun with the cloth.
No, she really couldn't bear to do it.
Even though the gun had broken into two pieces, she still couldn't bear to bury it.
If one day, the bond between her and Xiao Zhun is also cut like a flat string, will she be able to go on alone?
There was a sound of branches falling behind her, followed by a voice.
"Don't look like that."
Xiao Nanhui turned around and looked up. In the moonlight, the young emperor was wearing a black cloak. He seemed to have almost merged with the night, with only his eyes flashing with a little light.
She habitually raised her hand to wipe her face, still without saying a word.
But there was still mud on her hands, so her face naturally became dirtier the more she wiped it. Su Weijian frowned when he saw this.
"Don't look like this, it's really ugly."
Xiao Nanhui's heart was roaring: What do you think I care!!!
But the roar on the tip of his tongue suddenly turned into a mosquito-like whisper: "It's getting late and the dew is heavy. Your Majesty, please go to bed early."
After saying that, she stood up to leave, but halfway through she remembered something and turned back to pick up the cloth bag on the ground.
Su Wei's gaze fell on the cloth bag containing the broken gun, and a flat voice sounded behind her.
"Have you retreated?"
She was in a very bad mood at the moment, but she couldn't turn her head in front of the man in front of her, so she had to stop and ask: "Your Majesty, is there anything else you want to ask?"
Su Wei looked at her, as if it were a casual exchange between a monarch and his subjects. "Marquis Qinghuai just pleaded with me to pardon Bai Yun, the daughter of the Bai family. What do you think of this, Lord Xiao?"
These words were like a poisoned knife cutting into her heart.
Xiao Zhun really didn't want her to die. To this end, he didn't hesitate to trample on his position as a general and humbly plead with this heartless person.
Xiao Nanhui discovered that ever since she knew the true identity of the person in front of her, she felt that the other person had become more and more strange and unpredictable. Not only had the voice of his voice changed, but the temperament in his gestures was also completely different.
