Return the Sword

Although he was away these days, Donghua handled all the affairs of the mansion well. Wei Wan only briefly read some memorials, and stopped reading them.

There is nothing wrong with the big things, and it is normal to make mistakes occasionally in the small things.

Everything is still under control.

After changing back into men's clothes, Wei Wan picked a fine day to go out, and she asked Shen Mu who was still drinking, "Can you come with me?"

Shen Mu was left in the cold for a few days, and his temper was also good: "I came back from that big camp, won't Wanwan ask where I hid your tens of thousands of troops?"

"The book is still on the shelf, Ye is still in the forest, you are here with me, what should I worry about?"

"Are you not afraid that I will let those Wusun people enter the city as an internal response?"

"Yang Wu can't serve my sword, and the sword servant will always come back. If you don't take care of yourself, there are still people who take care of you."

"you……"

"I handed Xue Zhao over to you at the beginning, it was full of sincerity, you don't have to doubt me anymore, just do your job well, whether it's for you or me, it's a good thing."

Shen Mu finally compromised: "Then, where are you going?"

Wei Wan made a gesture, and someone led a horse out, she said: "Get on the horse, I will tell you more about it on the way."

It is a good spirit to believe that the horse is free from the rein.

Shen Mu seldom travels with Wei Wan, one of them was too late, and suddenly, Wei Wan fell behind a lot, and he couldn't control his face, so he immediately shouted: "Wei Wan, slow down."

Wei Wan didn't care about this, she lowered her body, half-closed to the horse, and clamped her legs. Although there were many passers-by on the road, it didn't seem that her horse slowed down much. After a while, Shen Mu could only see Wei Wan. Wan Wan's head in the crowd.If you think about it any more, you will be ashamed, Shen Mu gritted his teeth, choosing the lesser of the two, and raised the whip again, but he didn't hold back anymore.

The gate of the city was wide open, and the token in Wei Wan's sleeve only swayed for a moment, and the gatekeepers seen from a distance were completely lazy. Just when Wei Wan approached, he opened the passing side door, which did not hinder the inspection of the main gate. .

In fact, Wei Wan didn't have many days in Dunhuang City, so I can only say that the city captain really knows how to be a man, and what Wei Wan wants is this kind of man who can be a man.

It must be known that Spring Breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, although it is not the time to be named on the gold list, but if Wei Wan wants to show off this horsepower, how dare Shen Mu refuse to accompany him.Both horses are good horses, and they run fast. If Shen Mu wants to speak, he is afraid of eating flying insects, no matter how loud he is, it may be confused by the sound of the wind. Say, isn't it an idiot's dream?

Wei Wan just wanted to bring Shen Mu out.

The direction of Wei Wan's travel is extremely purposeful. The Western Regions are in the west, and further west of Dunhuang is Yumen and Yang Pass. These two passes have been taken into Wei Wan's arms. The twists and turns, until the destination, Shen Mu couldn't see what Wei Wan was thinking, but just when she was about to give up thinking, Wei Wan raised his horsewhip, pointed to a place in the distant mountain and said, "Do you know that behind that mountain is What?"

Shen Mu still remembered that there used to be a small country there, but after the glory of the Da Yue Clan ceased, it was so weak that it split up. Although it was still a country, it was actually just a few tribes living in groups, and he didn't care about it at the moment: "Scattered For a small country, just live for yourself."

"Wusun got rid of the Xiongnu. It was nothing more than civil strife among the Xiongnu. The north and the south were divided. This was a deterrent for a while. Before the Da Yuezhi was destroyed, there was a country in the north called Kangju. The capital of the king was Beitian, and there were five small kings. Zhi, now that Wusun is powerful, Kangju has the heart to welcome the northern Xiongnu Shanyu to fight against it, and the southern Xiongnu has surrendered, and will return to the Central Plains by the end of this year. You say that I am here in Dunhuang, how can I sit back and watch these two tigers face each other? Fighting in front of my bed?"

"Then you asked me to lead an army to deal with Wusun..."

"One is to find out the facts, and the other is to use Wusun to let them go to the Kangju king's capital." Wei Wan's eyes were full of smiles: "I have nothing to say, you probably won't put all the soldiers into the formation, I brought you here today because I wanted to tell you that I had expected what you were thinking, and from now on, the situation will become more urgent, and I will have less time to focus on you, but you should also take care of yourself."

"If you just want to say these things, why bring me here." Shen Mu has long been immune to Wei Wan's clichés, and hastily waved his hands, just wanting Wei Wan to get to the point.

"I heard that the people from Wusun came here without settling down, and many herdsmen were involved among them, most of them were Han Chinese. I fear that they will attack the city with the people as their forerunners. It's not a good reputation, a good fighter is a planner, you are my general, if you lose your position at that time, what should you do?"

"You underestimated me..."

"I know that if it's just for a big victory, those common people will die if they die, but since it doesn't need to be like this, why not make it impossible for this to happen?"

"If it was as easy as you say..."

"The herdsmen have been robbed of their cattle and sheep, and they have to give birth. They must be raised in one place. With such a battle, it is not difficult to know the exact location."

"If that's the case, why don't you lead the army yourself?" Shen Mu reined in the horse, which snorted on the spot, and she said, "It's true that you have profound martial arts skills, but you are not immortal, so you don't have to carry it along if you want to die. Get on me."

"But my general, aren't all my troops with you?"

"Except for the big camp, there are quite a few soldiers left behind in the city..."

"After you disappeared, I sent those people to Longxi."

"But if I don't want to go, what can you do to me?"

"I can't do anything, it's just that you will die before me, so there's no need to say that I won't save you."

"Wei Wan, do you dare?" Shen Mu should have known a long time ago that Wei Wan gave her the military power, and she should take it back this time. Wan Wan acquiesced, who knows that Wei Wan still reached out to ask for it, Xue Zhao is not here, if the military power is not there, she really doesn't know, how can she make Wei Wan guarantee that Shi Jian will be fine?

The prestige of the snow-capped mountains is rampant in the Western Regions, and now there is only the remaining party, but it is still easy for them to want one person, even Wei Wan, and they are not going to send one person as a hostage.

It's just poor, compared to her, the sword has not been forged, and the sword is useless, so the other party was chosen as the proton.

The two have been living together for many years. When this happened, Shen Mu always felt that she owed Shi Jian. She hated being in debt to others...

Shen Mu faced each other with a horizontal knife, while Wei Wan stood still and pressed Shen Mu's knife against her neck.

Shen Mu said, "Don't force me."

"What is coercion? Now, isn't it you who put the knife on my neck?" Wei Wan put one hand on Shen Mu's shoulder and said with a smile, "I'm not your master, you don't have to put the knife on my neck." I regard it as the same as your previous masters, they died if they were killed, but if I was killed by you, it would be a crime for you."

Shen Mu sneered rather: "You are the only one who co-authored it, but none of them are human?"

"You can just watch, if there is not me in the next ten years, how many people will be called emperors?"

"I only know that heroes come out of troubled times."

"But if there is no such a world, where would this troubled world come from?"

"Full of nonsense."

After Shen Mu uttered a mouthful of nonsense, Wei Wan stopped her mouth at the right time. She had stimulated Shen Mu too much just now, but Shen Mu held the knife steadily, and only a few bloodstains were cut on her neck, but the real pain was still there. It wasn't something that could be ignored, which made her pick her palms.

Shen Mu quickly noticed Wei Wan's strangeness: "I thought you wouldn't be in pain." His tone was much gentler.

Wei Wan knew that Shen Mu had always been a soft-hearted person, but she was here to subdue him for her own use. At first glance, there was not much difference between the benefits of a subordinate relationship and a friend relationship, but There is still a big difference in the mood brought to people by obeying orders and drawing swords to help.

She can use it unscrupulously only if she is the only one she obeys, and those who only draw their swords to help are always unreliable.So for the former, she can let him die well, and for the latter, except for two tears of sympathy from her, what else is left?

Into her game, it is either a dead piece or a useless piece.

She is the best in the world, so she should have such a request.

But Shen Mu would not understand that she used to regard Wei Wan as the benefactor who rescued her from the sea of ​​suffering, but later she became close to Wei Wan as her friend. The transformation of herself brought about what she thought Wei Wan's use.

How can I be comfortable in my heart?

There is only one person sitting on the throne. Throughout the ages, there may have been people who could call him brothers and sisters, but there will never be one in the past, and there will never be one in the future.

Shen Mu's gentleness only lasted for a moment, because Wei Wan flicked her knife aside with Juejing. Although she only used the spine of the sword, Shen Mu also found that his knife had already suffered internal injuries.

The spirited sword is not ordinary iron, but it is so powerful and terrifying.

Wei Wan hugged the sword and led the horse with one hand, only looking at the back, she really looked like a knight, she said: "Just a little inquiry, I will take you to see if those people are worth saving."

From early daylight to late night, when the horses ran weakly, Wei Wan pointed to a fire in the sand belt and said, "That's where it is."

This may be just a small gathering place in the lead, the houses piled up with mud are still fresh, and there are not many Wusun people guarding them. The two of them are very skilled at lightness, and they just found a gap and slipped in. go.

However, the place is not big, but there are many rules, several houses are occupied by Wusun people, and a hundred or so Han people can only sleep with the cattle and sheep after a day's hard work, and there is no sound at all.

Shen Mu said in a low voice: "What are you bringing me to see? Just to see them sleeping soundly? I didn't have such good treatment from them at that time."

Xue Zhao didn't make a sound. When she came to a house, she had a sharp sword. Once she stabbed in, it was like cutting watery tofu. When she swiped down, it was very smooth: "You think there are few solid rocks around Dunhuang. Their house How was it built?"

The place where the soil was cut open immediately smelled an extremely pungent stench. The night wind blew through, and a few strands of things floated out of it. Shen Mu touched it with his hand and felt extremely tough, so there was no need to guess He said: "The Great Wall built by the first emperor was based on human corpses. Wusun's barbarians are still not worthy of the posthumous title of China. It is not surprising that they did so."

Wei Wan glanced at Shen Mu, and said calmly: "You think they can come here just by driving those cattle and sheep? You have heard that the first emperor built the Great Wall, but you have never heard of an army using pickled human flesh as a Military rations? By the way, the battles you fought back then were all moral. If the two sides did not spread their armies, they would not fight. If one side did not cross the river, they would not fight either. It’s not enough, you’ve lost magnanimously, you only feel that you have suffered enough, but you don’t know that when a military incident occurs, you still have the strength to strike with a halberd, these people are just like cattle and sheep, they are not more pathetic than you.”

Shen Mu kept silent, she should be soft-hearted when she met someone in the same situation as her, but no matter how others had nothing to do with her, so what if they said she was cold-blooded?

Without letting Shen Mu think about it, Wei Wan carefully filled the soil, turned around and was about to leave, Shen Mu instinctively grabbed Wei Wan's sleeve without realizing it for a moment: "That's it, you're leaving? "

Wei Wan also laughed: "There are few guards here, but what's the use of saving only these few people, if you start to scare the snake, maybe it will cause bigger troubles, besides, I have nothing in my hand, only these three Chi Qingfeng still thinks he can't protect himself, what else can he do, if he doesn't leave, do we have to wait for them to wake up and see us die?"

Wei Wan specially accentuated the words "do not save".

These words exhausted all the thoughts in Shen Mu's mind. If she didn't know that Wei Wan was talking about herself, she would have felt that Wei Wan's skill in pointing and scolding Huai was much better.

Wei Wan said again: "It doesn't matter if you believe me just once, although I have always acted a little perverted, but as long as I obey you, has there ever been a time when I didn't do it?"

After a long time in the empty wind, there was a rather vague "good" word.

Until many years later, Wei Wan could still think of the black armored men in the distance when the night was over and the day was rising.

Shen Mu said: "You are too smart, and I am always shocked by seeing you. In private, you never want to be like you. This is just fulfilling your wish and breaking me for a while, but the future will be long, and it is not yet known who will die. .”

"I just want you to know that wherever I am, they will be there, and where they are, I will be there. Even if you deceive me, so what?"

And Wei Wan only touched her temples and didn't answer.

The author has something to say:

① It was said by Cao Cao. Those who like Cao Cao should have some impressions. I especially like this sentence he said.

Hahaha hiccup.
