Peach Blossom Dyeing Jinge

Chapter 174 The sky without frost and snow

In the evening, Jiangyu City finally returned to tranquility.

The military certificate has been issued, and on the eve of departure, the soldiers lit a bonfire, sang morale-boosting songs while eating food.The fires on the hillsides in the countryside are like stars falling to the ground.

For nine years, they swallowed their anger and huddled in the southwest corner, suffering from bullying and humiliation.Such days have finally come to an end.

The cheers of the soldiers came from afar and entered Si Yutong's ears.

She also hibernate for nine years, but her mood is not excited. What she thinks is another thing. Those soldiers are mostly young people, and they probably have their own lovers, parents and children, and they entrust their lives to her. Willing to die for her.But she deceived them, borrowing the name of her deceased brother and disguising the face of a man in order to gain their trust.

Her waist was heavy because she wore the Frost Snow Sword. From tomorrow onwards, this sword will always be by her side.

And the person who gave her the Frost Snow Sword was walking by her side right now.

She walked side by side with Bai Yunfeng in the courtyard of Bai Mansion, she was the first to speak: "Yunfeng, you have worked hard recently."

Bai Yunfeng shrugged his shoulders: "Brother, you must not say polite words. You know that our brother's life has been entrusted to you."

Si Yutong was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help turning her head to look at him. After several days of hard work, his expression showed a bit of fatigue, but the corners of his eyes and the creases between his brows highlighted his toughness even more.

His forehead was naturally wide, his nose bridge was high, his eyebrows slanted into his temples, and his cheeks were sharp and angular, as if he had been carved out of a skillful axe. Martial God Zhu Rong—the same heroic spirit, the same indestructible.

Si Yutong only felt his heart tremble, and he didn't dare to look any further, so he turned his eyes away and said, "Of course I understand, but before I leave, I want to visit my uncle."

Bai Yunfeng said: "Oh? I don't know what the elder brother has ordered, I can convey it for you."

Si Yutong shook her head and said, "Where is it an order, uncle is kind to me, but as a junior, before leaving, he should say goodbye face to face."

"I see," Bai Yunfeng smiled, "Then I'll go with you."

Lord Hou's sleeping hall is located in the depths of Bai Mansion, and the surrounding environment is quiet, so that he can rest and recuperate.Si Yutong pushed open the door, lowered her footsteps, and stepped cautiously into the room.

She came alone, leaving Bai Yunfeng waiting at the gate of the courtyard, because she really wanted to say goodbye alone, and really needed some space to calm down the distracting thoughts in her heart.

Master Bai has already fallen asleep, because he took the tranquilizing medicine, he fell into a deep sleep, with a low and hoarse coughing sound from time to time in his throat, presumably because his anger has not subsided, even with the medicine to help him sleep, he still can't sleep peacefully.

He worked so hard for the common people, suffered from sickness, and gradually became emaciated. His wife was taken hostage and imprisoned thousands of miles away, and his life and death were uncertain. However, his two sons ignored their personal feelings and resolutely set foot on the battlefield , only to practice loyalty and faith.

Si Yutong stared at his old face, and a bitterness welled up in the back of her throat.She slowly bent her knees, knelt down in front of the bed, lowered her head and said: "Uncle, when I take back the country of Yu, I will definitely repay the kindness of the Bai family."

After making the promise, the stone in her heart became heavier, and the war was approaching, but she seldom drew a picture of the future, because she still had fear in her heart.

What frightened her was not the war itself, but what happened after that. If Si Yujing really defeated King Chang and regained the crown prince, what would she do, Si Yutong?In this world where men are superior to women, it is a privilege for her to be able to practice martial arts and join the army. The history of Yu Kingdom spans thousands of years, and there has never been a precedent for a woman to proclaim herself emperor. Does she really want to spend her life pretending to be her elder brother?

But, how can she keep the people around her for a long time?If her secret is leaked, will Yu State face another bloodbath...

Thinking of this, the sadness on her face deepened.

She stood up and was about to leave, but she saw a letter on the desk out of the corner of her eye.

The letter was spread out, and the handwriting was very scribbled. It was not confidential, but more like a private letter written by hand.

Driven by curiosity, she walked lightly to the table and carefully read the words in the letter, but her eyes widened involuntarily, and she almost cried out in surprise.

It was a matchmaker's book.

The name of Lord Baihou was written on the head, and the signature was a name and surname that had never been heard before.The letter roughly said that there is a beautiful woman in the boudoir who is in her prime, and she hopes to form a good relationship with Yunfeng, manage the housework, raise peaches and plums together, and share the joy and sorrow of Lord Hou.

There was a layer of dust on the letter, and the paper was a little wet and wrinkled. It must have been placed here for a while.As for the matter of someone coming to propose marriage, she had never heard Yunfeng mention it, and she had probably already declined it.

Like this letter, Lord Bohou probably has received many letters.

Compared with tomorrow's expedition, the children's affair is an insignificant matter, but Si Yutong's mood was disturbed.For a long time, there was a question buried in her heart, which made her dare not think about it, and even wanted to throw it away. However, she was picked up again by such a common letter and thrown in front of her fiercely.

If she wins Yuguo Jiangshan, if she is open and honest to the people around her, will Yunfeng really accept her at that time?

If she had to assume Si Yujing's identity for a long time in order to maintain order, then what would Yunfeng do?

If she is just an ordinary woman, she can fall into the arms of her sweetheart, fulfill the old marriage contract, stay away from court disputes, and enjoy the protection of her sweetheart with peace of mind.

However, ever since she borrowed her elder brother's name, she has been unable to escape, and there is no way out.

She once asked Bai Yunfeng: "After the matter is accomplished, what is your wish and what kind of reward do you want?"

Bai Yunfeng answered very firmly: "My parents are old, I hope they can enjoy their lives in the capital, and I am willing to stay by the elder brother's side and be the right-hand man of the elder brother forever."

After being demoted, the Bai family suffered all kinds of humiliation, and deserved her heavy compensation.And Bai Yunfeng is also capable enough to be a general.

However, if one day he really becomes a great general, will he also marry someone else's woman...

Si Yutong didn't dare to think about it.

She has gone through many years of tossing and overcoming countless hardships, but she has never felt so sad and helpless for a moment.

The pain she suffered when she killed her life that night revived in her body.She even hated her own daughter.Perhaps the person who should have survived that day was not her at all, but her elder brother, and she was just a defective substitute...

She clenched her fists tightly, cut off her fragile thoughts with an invisible sharp blade, turned around and walked out the door.

In the shadow of the trees by the courtyard gate, there were still people waiting for her.

"Yunfeng." She called out.

The person under the tree turned his head, with a bit of fear on his face, he hesitated and said: "Big, big brother."

Si Yutong also showed a look of surprise.

The person waiting for her was not Bai Yunfeng, but Bai Xiuchuan.
