Soldiers 2
——
"Wuwu... Brothers, we can only see you off for the last time."
The crying sound surrounded Shen Wanyue's ears: So noisy.
I feel restless every time I wake up. I wonder what this time will be like?
Before I could talk to Lu Zhiyao in detail last night, I was forcibly pulled over.
She wanted to open her eyes and look at her surroundings, but it was still dark in front of her and she felt pain in her eyes.
I remembered that Lu Zhiyao said his eyes were dug out by someone.
She tried moving her arms and legs.
Fortunately, the limbs are fine.
"We must avenge our brothers!" The man's hoarse voice sounded again, as if he had been crying many times.
There were many people crying around.
Then, a calmer male voice said, "Well, may he rest in peace soon."
Chen Wanyue began to move her body vigorously, trying not to bury herself as a dead person.
"Where...is it moving?"
"!"
"You must be dazzled."
"My eyes are still sharp," the soldier retorted. "Look! It's moving again!"
The calm male voice sounded again: "Maybe an animal sneaked in."
"I'll go catch them out, don't disturb my brothers." The man who had cried the most stepped forward and gently turned the bodies over with his hands. He saw that the noise came from a wrapped body.
Normally, the clothes would be scraped off of dead bodies. After all, war supplies were scarce, and armor and clothes could be reused.
This time, the original plan was to scrape it off when burying the body.
“Really…it’s really moving!”
Some suspected it was a snake, others suspected it was a corpse moving.
And you can find the answer as long as you go forward and open it.
The man who came forward swallowed his saliva, trembled, and slowly opened the...
Shen Wanyue moved her hands and feet, and when she no longer felt numb, she stretched out her right hand.
"ah!"
The right hand suddenly appeared in front of the man, and he was startled and quickly stepped back.
"There are living people..."
"I'm not dead yet." Shen Wanyue covered her chest and slowly sat up. There was a lot of dirt on her body and face, and her eyes were wrapped in layers of thick cloth.
The blood had blackened the clothing.
"This...is this Lu Zhiyao?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on her.
Even if I can't see with my eyes, I can still feel the burning gaze.
"Ahem, it's me." Shen Wanyue realized that he was calling her.
"Hahaha, you're alive! I'll go find a doctor now."
Shen Wanyue didn't hide, she stood up and patted the dirt off her body, there was a faint pain in her chest, but fortunately it had healed.
The others were excited. If someone was alive, did that mean there were other people alive here? !
Among the crowd, only the captain did not move.
Until Shen Wanyue walked in front of him.
The captain forced a smile and said, "Lu Zhiyao?"
She also smiled and said, "Captain, I was just sleeping, why are you treating me as a dead person and burying me?"
"Humph, it was my subordinates who didn't pay attention." The captain comforted himself, it's okay, he's just a blind man, even if he's alive, it won't hinder him. And he was alone that night, even if Lu Zhiyao said it out loud, no one would believe it.
Chen Wanyue refused to give in and said, "I have had a good sleep and feel refreshed. I am happy when I think about going to the palace to receive the reward!"
The noise was very loud and people gathered together again. They also recalled the incident of Lu Zhiyao taking someone's head.
"I've been so busy being sad these past few days that I forgot about Brother Lu's important event! We're the winners again, hahahaha, Brother Lu, don't forget about us when you get promoted."
Chen Wanyue laughed loudly: "How could that be? The first person I want to thank is the captain. I will always remember your training over the past year."
The captain's back teeth were about to break. Originally, this matter could have been suppressed, but who would have thought that Lu Zhiyao actually survived.
He used all his strength in that sword strike, so how could he still look like nothing happened?
"You are great." The captain said, "Don't waste time. We will be leaving for home tomorrow! Bury the body quickly!"
"yes!"
The war ended quickly.
Shen Wanyue stood there, the smell of blood rushing into her nose, making it impossible to ignore.
Someone kindly said, "Brother Lu, what's wrong with your eyes?" In the war, everyone was fighting bravely and not paying enough attention to others.
"Oh, he was blinded when he was taking the head."
The man said with regret: "Oh, what a pity, if your eyes were fine, you might have a better future. Now... I said too much."
"It's okay. I miss my family too. It's a good opportunity for me to go home and spend time with my parents." Chen Wanyue shook her head and said indifferently.
".....You just sit aside and take a rest. Leave this to us."
"Okay, thanks."
Chen Wanyue tried her best to follow Lu Zhiyao's habits in her memory to avoid being discovered to be abnormal.
She was very different from Lu Zhiyao. It would be difficult for her to live in such an environment for a year, let alone fight. She admired Lu Zhiyao even more.
It was already night when all were buried.
They gathered in an open space, surrounded by countless soldiers.
Standing in the front is the general leading the team.
Basically, they were asked to pack their luggage, close down the camp tomorrow, and return to Beijing to be rewarded according to their merits.
Later it also said that the achievements of everyone who survived were read out.
The captain looked very bad. He wanted to lie. But Shen Wanyue got there first and said it first. The general had an impression of Lu Zhiyao, after all, he was the one who killed the local general.
The person who attracts the most attention now is Lu Zhiyao.
"Brother Lu, that's awesome! Hahahaha..."
She felt calm amid the words of praise and compliments.
Shen Wanyue understood that these words belonged to Lu Zhiyao.
But Lu Zhiyao lost his life because of one person's jealousy.
She will make that person pay the price, and also let Lu Zhiyao's glory remain.

After burying Zhou Wan's body, Jileta rushed to pick up Xiao Ya overnight.
He didn't speak much along the way.
At night, Amodasin said, "If the little girl sees Jileta, she will be very happy. I brought a little rabbit made by the maid in the palace as a gift."
Gilletta, who had been silent and expressionless, suddenly stood up from the grass.
"Gilleta?"
"I haven't prepared a gift for Xiaoya yet." After leaving these words, he walked towards the forest behind, "Don't follow me."
Amodasin knew that what Jileta needed most right now was some time alone.
——
Xiao Zhaoming and Wang Hong sat opposite each other.
"Your Majesty, the existing evidence is enough to identify the person who caused the epidemic in the palace that year, but I don't know if you..."
Xiao Zhaoming lowered his eyebrows, picked up the teacup on his right hand, blew away the tea leaves floating on the tea, and talked about another topic: "News came back from the war in the south, a great victory."
Wang Hong nodded and said, "Send the news to the capital overnight."
"It will take ten days to reach the capital." The candlelight flickered beside him, illuminating Xiao Zhaoming's profile. "Within ten days, I need to collect all the evidence. Please hold the Queen Mother back."
"I have no choice but to accept this responsibility." Wang Hong stood up and saluted him respectfully. "Thank you for taking care of my family property, Your Majesty."
"No need to thank me."
Just an exchange of interests.
He remembered that the general leading the army this time was Concubine Yan's younger brother. How would he feel if he knew that Concubine Yan's death was not an accident?
On the other side, Shen Wanyue returned to Lu Zhiyao's tent.
Because the captain wanted to "talk" with Lu Zhiyao before, he specially arranged a tent for him to rest alone the day before.
This was convenient for her, as she couldn't stand having to rest on a bed on the floor with a group of sweaty men.
But I can't rest well tonight, as the captain might attack again.
The torches in the hands of the patrolling soldiers outside shone on the tents.
Chen Wanyue was about to undress and rest, but she didn't expect a soldier to call her from outside: "Brother Lu, are you asleep?"
"not yet."
"The general wants you to come over."
"good."
What do you want to see her for?
Shen Wanyue went out, and the soldiers were still at the door.
"Your eyesight is not good, I'll take you there."
"Thank you." Shen Wanyue suddenly lost her sight and was not quite used to it yet, so it was good that someone took her there.
"Please come this way." The soldier pulled her clothes and left.
When they arrived at the general's residence, they stopped and said, "General, the people are here."
"Well, let him in."
"yes."
The soldier pushed Shen Wanyue’s back and asked someone to walk up: “Brother Lu, if you go straight, you will be in front of the general.”
"Okay."
As Shen Wanyue was walking, a soldier picked up a stick for her, and she walked forward while exploring the way.
General Yan was wiping his sword not far from the door. When he saw someone slowly coming in, he stood up and walked over to lead the person to the stool: "Sit down."
"Thank you, General."
She reached back to feel for the stool, and after finding it, she slowly sat down, placing the stick in her hand at her feet: "I wonder why the general has summoned me here?"
General Yan is eight or nine years younger than the deceased Concubine Yan, but because he has been in the army for many years, his skin is rough due to the wind and sun. He looks very tough and speaks with great authority.
"Hahaha, I just wanted to see what someone who could take the head of a slave leader looks like. You look so skinny, I didn't expect you to have such ability!"
Chen Wanyue was not polite and gladly accepted the general's praise for Lu Zhiyao: "It is because the general is burly that he thinks that I am thin and small."
"You are so young, and you are still growing." The general was fighting with the people around the leader at that time. He happened to see a man with a nimble figure coming behind the leader, and he slashed him with a knife without hesitation.
At that time, I hadn't seen his appearance yet, and I was thinking about promoting him after the war.
I just didn't expect that the other person's eyes were injured.
He patted Shen Wanyue’s shoulder heavily: “I won’t treat you unfairly.”
Shen Wanyue noticed the other party's emotions towards her, perhaps this was a good opportunity.
After thinking it over, she showed an embarrassment and said with a wry smile: "If these eyes are injured on the battlefield and become blind for the people of Dajing, I am willing to do so."
She lowered her head and folded her hands together as usual. Fortunately, General Yan was thinking about her words and did not pay attention to these small details.
The general withdrew his hand, and his tone became serious. He asked, "Is there something else going on?"
