more than a month

Tang Huai rushed back through the snow, and when he got off his horse, he felt his whole body was about to go stiff.

But from afar, he saw that Fang Jue's tent was still lit, which was particularly conspicuous in the darkness, and his whole body became light in an instant, and he jumped into the room full of joy.

"Back?" Fang Jue asked him softly, got up and walked over.

"I'm back, I'm back." Tang Huai replied, pointing to Yue Yuan by the way, and asked him what happened.

"I guess I'm too tired to say I want to wait for you."

Tang Huai's expression sank, he walked over softly, and stretched out his hand to Yueyuan's neck in a jerk.

Yue Yuan jumped up from the ground.

"You're going to die!"

"If you're sleepy, don't go back to sleep by yourself." Seeing that he woke up, Tang Huai ran to warm himself up by the fire.

Yue Yuan rubbed his forehead, stared at him as if he hadn't woken up, and said after a long time, "You're back."

Tang Huai laughed when he heard it, "It's nothing important, Tongguan has already started fighting, I have to leave quickly tomorrow, and I have contacted the other battalions, Ge Shuhan seems to be planning to stick to the city, the battle is not bad That’s fine. Forget it, let’s talk while walking tomorrow.”

"Really..." Yue Yuan felt a little relieved.

"Go to sleep first, it's been a tough day, I'll replace you next time."

Yue Yuan felt that there was nothing to discuss now, so he swayed and wanted to go back to sleep.

"By the way, you can sleep with Fang Jue later. Your apprentice is at Ye Yu's place. I'll sleep in your tent for one night."

"understood."

"It's back." Yue Yuan picked up the stick and the wine gourd to go out.

"Hey, return the clothes to me." Tang Huai called him from behind again.

Only then did Yue Yuan realize that he was wearing Tanghuai clothes, an indigo long coat.Presumably he fell asleep at that time, and Fang Jue put it on for him.Yue Yuan threw it back to him, turned his head and said to Fang Jue,

"Thank you."

"Didn't you say don't wait for me?" Tang Huai said so, but he was overjoyed.But every time he went out, Fang Jue was waiting for him, but he still felt sweet in his heart.

But Fang Jue was still as indifferent as ever, "I didn't wait for you."

"It's okay, it's okay, if you don't wait, don't wait." Tang Huai wanted to take Fang Jue to bed as soon as he said that, but he just stretched out his hand and hesitated for a moment, then retracted, "No, no, it's too cold, I can't touch you."

Fang Jue seemed to be used to it, grabbed his wrist and pulled him onto the bed, "Hurry up and sleep." After saying that, he walked over and extinguished the wax.

It was dark in the tent, but Tang Huai said, "I can't see it, it's over here, over here. I'll be fine next time, come up quickly."

Fang Jue thought he was noisy, so he pulled the quilt and pushed him into the couch. Tang Huai grabbed his arm when he touched him. "Be careful."

He couldn't hear Fang Jue sighing in his heart, but he didn't resist anything, and closed his eyes with his back turned to him.

Tang Huai rubbed his hands behind him, felt warmer before leaning forward, wrapping him in his arms, but still cautiously asked, "Is it still too cold?"

Fang Jue pulled the quilt up, put his hand on Tang Huai's to warm him, and replied coldly,

"It's alright, go to sleep."

"Get up, get up." Early in the morning, Yue Yuan angrily went to the bed and pawed Tang Shuo.Ye Yu had already changed his clothes, so he went out to serve breakfast first.

"Ah...who...what time is it...sleep again...where is my master!" The child rolled from the couch and sat up straight, and the annoying face of Yue Yuan was indeed reflected in front of his eyes. "Is my master back yet?"

Yue Yuan curled his lips and lifted him up from the couch, "I'm back, get up, change clothes, go out to eat, and leave the camp immediately."

"I'm back... let me sleep again... let's sleep for a while." Then she slid down, hugging the quilt and preparing to sleep back.

"I can't beat you again." Yue Yuan threatened him like this, but he put on his clothes by himself first, and the child didn't respond, letting Yue Yuan play with him.

"Then I'll tell Young Master Ye that you're bullying me." She's not very young, so she understands things quite clearly. "I don't want to eat, let me sleep for a while."

Ye Yu came in with a bowl at the moment, and saw that the two of them hadn't cleaned up yet and understood. "You go eat first."

Yue Yuan immediately threw the child aside when he heard it, so that the child had to open his eyes to see what happened.

"Shuo'er got up to eat." Ye Yu walked over and continued to dress the child. The five or six-year-old baby's body was so soft that Ye Yu couldn't catch him if he wasn't paying attention.

"You have to hug Master Ye before you eat."

"Then open your eyes first." Ye Yu lifted his arm, put it into the sleeve, and as the last step was completed, he put the child on the bed again. "I'm going to fetch hot water, you are not allowed to sleep anymore."

"Got it..." He was still sleepy after tossing around like this, so he didn't care what Ye Yu told him.

Seeing that this was not good, Ye Yu picked him up and put him on the low stool, so he couldn't lie down.

"Let's go to Gu En after eating, I think Tang Huai has already passed." Before leaving, he told Yueyuan again, so he felt that there was no one to worry about.

Seeing Ye Yue go out, Yue Yuan went up to slap the child behind him twice. "Are you sober?"

"What are you doing!" The child had to open his eyes, and tears immediately piled up in his eyes.

"Don't make trouble, or your master will come and clean you up." Yue Yuan didn't try hard, not to mention wearing a lot of winter clothes, and the child didn't suffer much pain, but Yue Yuan beat him, and he felt wronged.Although his master beat him up for nothing, but...but...

There seems to be no difference.

The little guy was so angry that he turned around and ignored him.Yue Yuan patted him on the head, it was so funny.Seeing that Tang Shuo was wronged, he couldn't say anything to coax the child, but threatened him further, "I'll come back later to see if you are still like this, I really beat you up."

Tang Shuo ignored him, lowered his head and shook his short legs, and even wiped his tears with his hand.

Yue Yuan heard someone calling him outside, realized that he had forgotten the time, and ran out in a hurry.When he went out, he met Ye Yu face to face, and signaled that he would go there first.

The child cried even more when he heard that there was no one in the room.

Ye Yu came in and heard him sobbing, which was frightening.Put down the hot water in your hand and pick up the baby.

"What's wrong."

The child hooked his neck, moaned and moaned while crying, "It's...it's okay, I fell off the stool."

Ye Yu also took it seriously, shaking his body lightly with a wry smile, and patted him lightly with his hands behind him. "Where did I fall, it hurts."

"Well...it's okay." The little guy sniffed, but he stopped crying, but he refused to let go of his arms.

Ye Yu wiped his face with hot water, hugged him and fed him, and finally recovered.But at the dinner table, the children kept chanting that Yue Yuan had died of necrosis.Ye Yu smiled and asked him what was wrong, but the child couldn't say anything, so he had to mutter that it was bad.

"It snowed yesterday, and it's slippery outside. Don't run around. We'll get out of camp in a while, so don't get separated from the team."

"Then I'll go and see Master." Tang Shuo responded obediently, and sneaked out of the tent, and disappeared after a while.

Tang Huai's news last night was not optimistic.The front line has already been fought, and Gu En is thinking about how to support the past.

"Are we still going?" Tang Huai asked him without holding back as he lowered his head and fiddled with the thousand receivers. "General Feng was executed a few days ago...do you know what happened?"

"If Tongguan can't be defended... the next step is Chang'an." Gu En held his fist tightly with his eyes calm. "As long as Datang has not changed hands, no matter what happens, I have to keep it."

The tent was lifeless, Yue Yuan kept drinking, Gu En's eyes were empty, Tang Huai wiped the Thousand Machine Crossbow.

"Didn't Ge Shuhan come? 20 soldiers guard Tongguan..." Yue Yuan closed the wine gourd and sighed, "Let's fight again."

Tang Huai didn't speak, and put the guns one by one into the Thousand Machine Crossbow.

"Let's get out of the camp." Gu En said lightly, and got up first to get out of the tent.

"It's already at this time, the most fearful thing is that the army's morale is not in harmony, don't talk to him about this anymore." Yue Yuan seemed to be talking casually, and went out after finishing speaking.

At that moment, Tang Huai felt that their innocence was terrifying. They seemed to be unable to see any turmoil in this world, as if guarding this dilapidated Tang Dynasty would satisfy them.But Tang Huai didn't say those words. He didn't want to touch Gu En's beliefs and bottom line. After all, it would be scary for Gu En to go crazy.

Let nature take its course, if he couldn't hold on anymore, he would take Fang Jue away to another country.But it is true that Fang Jue is more awkward than Gu En.

The enemy is just outside Tongguan, but Tongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it has not been broken until now.

Before Gu En entered Tongguan, he went through several battles, big and small, but he entered Tongguan with few casualties.Many of them belonged to the same battalion before, and later they were reorganized and separated. Gu Enyueyuan had a lot of acquaintances, so he was delighted to see them.

Not only the soldiers of Tiance, but also the disciples of other schools and sects are not in the minority.

"Those two people look familiar." Yue Yuan pointed to Ye Yu, who was a Shaolin disciple and a Chunyang disciple, but he just couldn't remember where he met him.

"Really." Ye Yu didn't remember anything.

"Ye Yu?" He turned his head abruptly, and Yue Yuan also turned his head when he heard someone calling Ye Yu.

"Sun Hao!" Ye Yu stepped up excitedly. "Are you here too?"

The person who spoke was Ye Yu's former soldier in the barracks, Yue Yuan didn't recognize him, but he felt uncomfortable seeing him and Ye Yu getting close.But out of politeness, when he was talking to Ye Yu, Yue Yuan backed away and didn't get too close.

"Well, after listening to the orders from above, they all came."

"Where are the rest?" Ye Yu asked with concern.

Sun Hao was a little embarrassed, and said to him uncomfortably, "Afterwards, there were too many casualties, and there were not many people left in the battalion. They were all broken up and divided into other battalions."

Ye Yu's breathing was stagnant, the place where he used to be was gone.

The other party seemed to see Ye Yu's disappointment, and hurriedly comforted him, "It's okay, everyone is still here, you see you have met me today, maybe you will see someone later."

He didn't dare to tell Ye Yu that in fact, in the last battle, their entire army was almost wiped out.The few people who escaped also met other teams, so they survived.

"It's a good thing you weren't there at that time." Sun Hao laughed and patted Ye Yu on the shoulder. "It's good to be alive, don't you think so?"

Ye Yu choked up for a moment, unable to speak.The emotion that was suppressed a long time ago came out again like a resurgence.

"Have you ever regretted... did you survive?" Ye Yu asked him.

Sun Hao seemed to see what he was thinking, so in order not to touch him again, he could only pretend to be joking and talk to him.

"There is hope only if you are alive. Don't you want to see with your own eyes how we fight back the country. I have to live, and I have to take back what the dead brother lost. If I die too... then you can live well, and the country will be recovered On that day, someone has to remember to tell us, and it depends on you."

"The camp is calling for someone, I'm going back first." Sun Hao didn't say any more, turned around and ran to his camp.

"He's right, you have to live. It wasn't your fault in the first place. You can't stop anything by yourself." Yue Yuan rubbed Ye Yu's head and wrapped him in his arms. "Just thinking wildly, they won't be able to come back. But if you continue like this...maybe more people will die."

"Yes." Ye Yu nodded slowly.

Yue Yuan didn't urge him to rush to figure it out, even if he could figure it out on the day when He Shan was recovered, Yue Yuan felt that it would not be too late.
