Chapter 464 Do you still have the courage to come? Remember till death

Ji Qingwu is clearly also a wolf.

She will just pretend to be a well-behaved puppy, and when you let your guard down and think she is easy to bully, she will bite you hard.

The next day.

The morning mist had not yet dissipated, and the bluestone camp gate was damp and cold.

Ji Qingwu went to the gate of the military camp again.

The soldiers shouted slogans and carried up the coarse round materials with the fragrance of pine resin to repair the crossbar that was damaged by the tiger last night.

Ji Qingwu paced back and forth at the gate, looking at the eastern sky, which was fading from indigo to fish belly white.

It looks like today will be a good day too.

Ji Qingwu heard a howling sound from behind. She turned around and saw a gray shadow limping towards her.

The wolf's right front paw lightly touched the ground, and she looked it up and down.

"I remember your leg wasn't injured?"

After seeing the little wolf's ears, Ji Qingwu asked with great joy: "Who bandaged you?"

A three-finger-wide bandage was wrapped around the bamboo strips seventeen or eighteen times, forming a crooked triangle on the top of the head, like a huge triangular rice ball, with a few stems of dry grass stuck to the edge.

The little wolf whimpered pitifully. Ji Qingwu touched its intact ear and said, "But it will heal faster this way."

Li Yuzong turned the corner of the barracks, appearing panting, with a few dead grass leaves stuck to the silver thread of his whisk.

He lectured the she-wolf, "You wolf, you run so fast even though your legs are tangled!"

Li Yuzong's expression changed very quickly, and he turned around and smiled with a wrinkled face.

"Oh, I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Miss Ji."

Li Yuzong pulled out a celadon medicine bottle from his sleeve. The bottle was still covered with sand, which showed what a chaotic scene it was when he was applying medicine to the little wolf.

"I saw gravel embedded in the pads of its forefoot and all five toes were bruised, so I applied Jinchuang Powder to it."

Ji Qingwu said with amusement, "Eunuch Li's bandaging skills are more like pasting gauze covers on the lanterns in the palace."

The little wolf cooperated by shaking its head and trembling its ears, and the bandage really swayed like a revolving lantern.

Li Yuzong smiled with wrinkles all over his face: "Of course, it's not as good as Miss Ji's."

The little wolf pounced on Li Yuzong as if playing, and pressed him into the sand with its claws that were wrapped like dumplings.

A man and a wolf were quarreling beside Ji Qingwu, and she continued to look quietly into the distance.

When the first ray of sunlight shone on the sand, Ji Qingwu raised his hand to cover his brow, and a wisp of smoke suddenly rose from the beacon tower in the distance.

Ji Qingwu's heart suddenly tightened.

There is an emergency military situation, good or bad...

Qingwu didn't understand the laws and regulations of the beacon fire, and she couldn't understand what the smoke and dust meant.

Ji Qingwu asked: "Eunuch Li, did you hear any sound?"

Unlike last time, when Emperor Wu Su returned to the camp, the sound of horse hooves was heard first. This time, she listened carefully but heard nothing.

Before Li Yuzong could pick up his whisk, he said solemnly, "Miss Ji, I didn't hear anything. Smoke is coming from the beacon tower. It is very likely that the enemy is attacking. You should go back to the camp and hide."

"hide?"

Ji Qingwu shook his head.

She didn't come to the North to hide.

Ji Qingwu stood straighter in the morning light and looked towards the northwest.

The rising sun shone on her face, and Ji Qingwu looked golden, with even the fine hairs on her face visible.

She is such a gentle girl like a clear spring. Judging from her appearance, she is out of place with the majestic yellow sand of the desert.

But Li Yuzong arose a strange feeling in his heart. Standing beside her, he felt as if he was standing beside the emperor, and he was no longer panicked.

The soldiers in the camp received the signal and quickly went out to form a battle line.

Chi Rui walked up to Ji Qingwu and saw the calm look on her face. He swallowed back the words he wanted to say to persuade her to go back to the tent.

After last night, Chi Rui no longer viewed her as a weak woman, but respected her from the bottom of his heart.

Chi Rui explained to her the meaning of signaling a beacon, saying, "Miss Ji, this beacon smoke represents the presence of enemy troops. Lighting a beacon means there are more than fifty cavalry and infantry but less than five hundred."

Ji Qingwu's heart tightened, then relaxed, and he asked, "How many people are there in our army guarding the camp?"

Chi Rui said: "There are 1,210 people."

Ji Qingwu nodded: "Okay."

The sound of horse hooves gradually got closer, and Ji Qingwu looked at the soldiers and horses that appeared in front of him.

She frowned and said coldly: "Do you still have the courage to come?"

Even though the man in front of him had lost a lot of weight and was wearing a dark blue mask, Ji Qingwu recognized him at a glance from his gray-blue eyes.

Yuwen Tianqing said: "Miss Ji, long time no see."

Ji Qingwu said: "I don't want to see it, it's just that my archery skills are not good enough."

The black iron eagle whistle woven in Yuwen Tianqing's hair swayed slightly with his movements, and he said, "It's not Miss Ji's archery skills that are to blame, but my heart is different from that of ordinary people, and the positions are reversed."

Ji Qingwu's eyes swept across his right chest and said, "Okay, I get it. I will never miss again this time."

Seeing her hateful expression, Yuwen Tianqing looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Emperor Beili is willing to let me go, why does Miss Ji still hold a grudge against me?"

Ji Qingwu said expressionlessly: "I am narrow-minded. Once I make a grudge, I will remember it for a lifetime."

Yuwen Tianqing raised his eyebrows and said, "It is my honor to be able to let the girl remember it for a lifetime."

Ji Qingwu was not provoked by his words. He turned his head and took the bow and arrow carried by the soldier behind him on the right.

"Okay, I'll make sure you remember this until you die."

Seeing that she was serious, Yuwen Tianqing quickly dismounted, raised his hands and said, "Miss Ji, I am here to seek peace, not to make enemies with you again."

Ji Qingwu said bluntly: "I don't believe you."

Yuwen Tianqing spread his hands and explained, "I only brought a few trusted people with me. This should be enough to show my sincerity."

Ji Qingwu's eyes turned and he said, "Who knows if there is an army a hundred miles away waiting for you to send out the signal?"

Yuwen Tianqing's eyes changed, and he said, "Miss Ji doesn't know yet that the Xijin military camp has been raided, so where is the army?"

Ji Qingwu was very firm and said, "I don't believe anything you said."

Yuwen Tianqing sighed and asked, "How is my mother?"

Ji Qingwu said simply: "Alive."

Yuwen Tianqing asked: "What conditions do you want to release her?"

Ji Qingwu frowned and said, "You've found the wrong person to discuss the terms. Please go back."

Seeing that she was unmoved, Yuwen Tianqing gritted his teeth silently.

"Let my mother go!"

Ji Qingwu said: "I'm not a horse releaser."

Yuwen Tianqing's face twisted for a moment, and he said, "If you need me in the future, I can help you."

Ji Qingwu said: "No need to discuss this."

Yuwen Tianqing said: "With your temper, aren't you worried that the Emperor of Beili will dislike you in the future? I can leave you a way out."

"What's the escape route?"

Someone asked indifferently behind Yuwen Tianqing.
