Chapter 37 Chapter 5: The Camp is Full of Spring

When we were counting the number of people and reorganizing our army, Grand Duke Redstone's army finally arrived. Grand Duke Hongshi, Tianyan, Lingzhi, Huayun and other generals and priests came out to welcome me. When they came to me, they dismounted one after another and saluted respectfully. Grand Duke Hongshi expressed gratitude on behalf of everyone: Great Sword Master!Only you can lead us to one victory after another. Tianyan stepped forward and clasped my hands tightly, with tears in his eyes, he said: Great Sword Master, you made the people of the Pure Land see the golden dawn of the sun in the absolute darkness, and see the lush green land in the raging stormy sea , the days ahead will be more difficult, but none of them will prevent you from fulfilling the mission in the prophecy.

My heart moved, what did he see in the future? Cairou had already started talking to Lingzhi Jiguagua, and she and this old guy had a special affinity for each other. Presumably, she must have learned a lot of beautiful legends and history about the pure land she loves so much from him. Lingzhi and Cairou walked over. I shook hands with him according to the pure land etiquette. Lingzhi held me tightly, and said excitedly: "Tianyan is right. Teacher Yin is a very difficult person to deal with, and she has great influence in Tianmiao. I hope you don't abandon them because of their ignorance."

My old face turned red, thinking of losing my temper with them in Floating Fragrance City, I became more and more embarrassed, and said affirmatively: Don't worry!This is a struggle and I will never get emotional again. Hua Yun came over and said: Great Sword Master is a person with rich emotions, but he is also the most generous. Lingzhi let go of my hand, and I naturally stretched out my hand to grab Huayun. The beautiful priestess blushed for some reason, and offered her jade hand unnaturally for me to grab. Holding hands full of warmth and softness, I also felt a little unbearable to be with her, this kind of ecstasy, this is the second time I have done this pure land hand touch ceremony with her.

Priests will not do this hand touch ceremony with people casually, only in very special circumstances, such as young men and women who have just grown up, asking for blessings; or meeting someone with special status for the first time.And it has to be decided by the priest himself, so Yin Nushi didn't perform the tentacle salute with me. It doesn't suit me to shake Huayun's hand like me, but of course no one will blame me. Hua Yun lowered her gaze. I suddenly remembered something and asked: Fengxiang said that she once wanted to make a portrait for you, but you refused, what is the reason?It was only after she said the words that she regretted it. Under such circumstances, it really shouldn't have brought back memories of her friend Fengxiang's tragedy.

Hua Yun's reaction was even more strange, first her expression darkened, and then Yu's face turned red suddenly. I was so scared that I let go of her hand. Fortunately, Yonov came over at this time and said to Hongshi and the others: We sent a letter to Tianmiao asking them to send troops to chase Xiang Qinsheng, but they didn't come. Everyone looked serious. Hongshi said: Three days later, when we arrive at Standing Stone Fort, we will naturally know the reason. I thought, yes!Three days from now, we will be facing another form of war. The eerie but strangely attractive face of the Yin Nushi came to my mind.

The camp is full of relaxed and joyful atmosphere, two days after leaving the horrific flesh and blood slaughterhouse that intercepted Xiang Qinsheng. We and Sui Zui were led by Dumpty, most of them were civilians, and there were many pure land women in the camp. It was a beautiful scene, especially the pure land people are informal and romantic. During the luncheon, Dumpty and Cairou had a secret conversation, I don't know what they were talking about, when I stole a chance to ask Cairou, the girl kept her secret, smiled mysteriously and said: You will know soon. I can't do anything about her, I just get angry and don't ask.

Huayun also stayed away from me all night, as if deliberately trying to avoid me. I don't know if she was afraid that I would raise that question again, which made me feel quite uncomfortable. Although everyone laughed at Yan Yan, they couldn't hide the worry behind their backs, because they didn't know if Lady Yin had arrived at the Temple of Heaven, or if she was there to make troubles and create troubles that were not good for me? Up to now, no one doubts my judgment on her. External troubles and internal troubles are really equally terrible. The happiest and carefree one was Dahei, who licked and drank the fine wine in my cup with his big tongue, making me not sure if I was angry or funny.

I deliberately praised Hongqing in front of everyone, not of course what he said was how good he was in lying, but how brave and witty he was, which comforted Hongshi, who had always looked down on his son, with great face, and asked me frequently Persuading me to drink, after a while I was as drunk as Dahei. Everything you see with your drunk eyes is pure and lovely. Especially Niya and Cairou next to her, their smiling faces are like flowers, and they are so glamorous. Their pleasant and pleasant voices like silver bells seem to come from another distant world, that distant fairyland. The people and things in front of me seem to be both close and far away from me, hard to touch.

My tense mood relaxed, and finally I didn't know whether I fell drunk in Cairou's arms, or smiled and lay down on Niya's round and plump lap, and fell asleep. Putting the hot cloth on my face, I woke up leisurely, and what I saw were the pretty faces of Cai and Niya, and the big tent that was covered. I stretched out, feeling so comfortable that I wanted to die, in the gentle village. Cairou happily said: Wake up! Niya leaned down, kissed me tenderly and said: Do you want to sleep for a while? I sat up and said: What time is it? Cairou covered her mouth with a smile and said: It was noon when we and Hongqing brought you back, now even the two stars Tianmeng and Piaoxiang have risen above your head, you don't know how heavy you are.

I said in amazement: Didn't I sleep for most of the day?No wonder Moment is so energetic. Niya said: If you don't feel sleepy, are you interested in meeting a soldier who admires you? I looked at the two women in astonishment, both of them had mischievous smiles in their eyes. I scratched my head in doubt and said: Little soldier? The two girls probably rarely saw me with such a silly expression, they both laughed coquettishly and fell on top of me laughing. Still Cairou could bear it more, recovered, pushed Niya, and walked out, leaving me alone in the tent. Worship my minions?

What's the matter? The cloth facing the tent opened, and a delicate figure in military uniform flashed in. I took a closer look, almost jumped up, and shouted: Hongyue! It is Hongyue, the delicate daughter of Grand Duke Hongshi, and Hongqing's savage sister. Hongyue gave me a very smug smile, and came straight to me, sat down lightly, with her knees and legs sticking to me without any scruples. I was both surprised and happy, grabbed her fragrant shoulders, and said: How could Grand Duke Hongshi allow you to come here with the army? Hongyue wrinkled her cute little nose, and snorted: "Whatever if you don't allow me to come, I, Hongyue, have hands and feet, won't you follow me secretly?" My eyes fell on my neck, which was only wearing a single shirt, and I exclaimed joyfully, "Ah!You really wore my flying bird amulet, no wonder it was so powerful, and drove all the black fork ghosts back to their hometowns. As soon as he reached out, he put his arms around my neck, regardless of whether I agreed, gave me a heavy kiss on the left and right cheeks, and then let me go: Great Sword Master, Hongyue thinks you are proud! I said distressedly: How could Hongshi not know that you are in his army, and not drive you back to Fragrance City? Hongyue stretched out her hand to press my big hand holding her fragrant shoulder, not letting me let go, and said: "With Little Dumpty protecting me, who would know?" It suddenly dawned on me, no wonder Little Dumpty is grabbing Cairou and pouring it carefully, so it turns out that he arranged for this ignorant little soldier to meet me. She pressed my little hand soft and warm. I pretended to be angry and said: Isn't Little Dumpty afraid of being punished by the Grand Duke? Hongyue laughed so that Huazhi trembled and said: "What can he do? When he found me, he was far away from Piaoxiang City. I said that if he reported me, I would run away immediately and chase you by myself!"whee! Imagining the scene of her threatening poor Dumpty, I am angry and funny, this girl is innocent and lovely, and she has a different charm from Cairou and Niya. Just like Siki. well! It was as if Xiqi was alive before my eyes again. Hongyue pulled my hand down and put it on her lap, two red clouds flew up from her youthful and pretty face, wild and bold eyes shot out, she whispered: Great Sword Master!Red Moon will give you the first night. I was so scared that I withdrew my big hand and said in amazement: What?She is only sixteen years old at most, but how direct and bold she speaks, my God!She is still an inhuman little girl! Ambassador Hongyue has a temper, and said impatiently: What is there to be surprised about, every girl will have her first night! I had a big headache and said: Didn't you say that Miss Ben would not follow your rand trick? Hongyue snorted coquettishly, and said: Don't think that I will be like Niya and only follow you to death. After the fight, I will have many lovers, but the first one?I must pick the best. Then he jumped into his arms, put his hands around my waist, hugged me tightly, pressed his pretty face against my chest, and whispered: "Hurry up!" I got angry and said: What?hurry up? Hongyue scolded, "Of course I can only urge you, and I don't know how to do it. You have a lot of experience with women. Naturally, you take the initiative. I can do whatever you want. It's all up to you." Holding the red moon like a ball of fire, I couldn't help but secretly hated Cairou, which caught me off guard and fell into this dilemma. Two hearts are beating wildly. Hongyue's face was burning red, and her breathing became more and more rapid. I had a plan in mind, and suddenly said: Grand Duke Hongshi!You came? Hongyue jumped out of her arms in fright, and turned around and shouted: "Father!" When she realized that there was no one behind her, and she was deceived by me, I stood up, reached out and grabbed her soft waist, pretending to shout: "Red!" Hongyue mourned and said: Don't call! ! I looked at her and wondered: Are you not afraid of anyone? Hongyue felt aggrieved, with tears in her eyes. I knew enough was enough, I lowered my head and kissed her youthful and delicate lips. I guided the tip of her tongue, and after a while her whole body softened, her little hands wrapped around my neck, and she writhed. I left her small mouth and said softly: Is this your first kiss? Hongyue's expression was as gentle as water, like the clear water in the Tianmeng River, she nodded obediently. I continued to ask: Is it wonderful? Hongyue said: It is a thousand times more beautiful than I imagined.Looking up her pretty face, she asked for a kiss again, this little girl was enjoying it for the first time. I kissed her lightly again and said: Between a man and a woman, we should develop the relationship step by step, and slowly cultivate the relationship, so that we can truly enjoy the fun between the sexes, do you understand? Hongyue thought for a while, nodded and said: I understand a little bit, I just want you to teach others! I said: good!Now I will give you the first lesson, you go back first, think about it, and come back tomorrow and tell me what you thought of. Hongyue said: No!I don't want you to want me right now, but I will stay in your tent tonight, and I will sleep beside you, or I will go into the wilderness and let the beast eat me. My face sank and I said: Are you threatening me? Hongyue propped up her toes, kissed me, and said with a charming smile: "Don't put on a fierce look, I know you won't let hungry wolves swallow me, I know you like me and love me, Hongyue can feel it . I couldn't help but laugh at her, this innocent and lovely little girl, I gently pushed her away, opened the curtain and shouted: "Cairou, Niya, you two, get back!" After a while, Cai and Niya shrank into the tent. I said to the two of them with a straight face: What did you sell me for? The two women were stunned. Niya was the first to understand, she let out a laugh, and pushed Caijudo who was still in a dream: He thought that Hongyue exchanged things with us for him. Cairou suddenly realized, and also let out a laugh. I grabbed Cairou, the culprit, and said: Last time Niya gave you a Zhenwu wrist, you betrayed me, what did Hongyue give you this time. Cairou was stunned, looking at Niya who was so shy that she wanted to find a hole in the ground, she opened her small mouth in amazement, apparently only then thought of the real conspiracy behind Zhenwu's wrist. I had the upper hand, sat down with a big heart, and said: "Three, please sit down!" The three girls sat down in front of me. I smiled slightly and said: Tonight we will sit and talk until dawn. Red moon!No!He rushed over, threw himself into his arms, hugged me tightly, and said coquettishly, "Oh!I'm sleepy!Let's talk!She closed her eyes and fell asleep, as if the scene by the Tianmeng River was repeating itself. I was at a loss and looked at the two women. These two hateful beauties held back their smiles and looked away, not daring to look at me. I snorted. Niya surrendered and said: Don't blame me, I have played with his two siblings since I was a child, how can I not love this delicate girl, she is just like my own sister. I looked at Cairou with a sullen face and said: Niya explained, what do you have to say? Cairou glanced at me, couldn't help but burst into laughter and said: The women of the Shining clan are proud that their husbands can attract other women, otherwise it is a shame. I thought to myself that big men of the Shinnite know how to marry a wife, but it's fair enough, and they are ashamed when their women don't attract other men. I have nothing to do with them, said: good!I will punish you for sitting and not sleeping! The two women protested in unison, saying it was unfair. Cairou was the first to say: Hongyue can sleep, why can't we? I looked at Hongyue in my arms, she fell asleep early, and slept soundly. At this time, she was as tame as a lamb, without the slightest trace of her usual savagery, which made me sleepy too. I surrendered: good!Let's sleep together. The next morning, Hongyue sneaked back into the little dumpy team, and we broke camp and set off. There were more pudgy civilian troops, and the speed slowed down a lot. Dahei easily weaved through the team, returning to the glory of driving the camel in the past. I was reminiscing about the difficult situation of waking up the red moon in the dark this morning. It was really cute and funny. The Grand Duke of Red Stone came to me on his horse and rode forward with me. Hongshi said lightly: "That girl Hongyue, did you come to pester you last night?" I was so frightened that I almost fell off my horse, and said in amazement: You know! Hongshi laughed heartily and said: How could he not know, that little chubby guy notified me at the first time, but what I can do with her is only cheating.A wry smile crossed the corner of his mouth and said: You also know how difficult she is to deal with! I was very embarrassed, so I said: But it seems that she is also very afraid of you. Hongshi sighed: I'm afraid I won't come with her. There is no one in the Pure Land who doesn't love her. This little girl knows how to please people best. She also knows how to take advantage of the limelight. I can't do anything to her.Then he said in a low voice: If the great sword master pays attention to her, it is really her blessing. My embarrassment continued unabated, and I immediately changed the subject and said, "Master Yin is just one person after all. We have the three priests who are waiting for Tianyan, and you, Grand Duke Redstone, why do you always look worried when you mention her." Hong Shi frowned, and it took him a while to say: Great Swordsman doesn't know something, the Pure Land is a strange place, there are differences between the south and the north.The center is traversed day by day, and the pure land is divided into two regions, the north and the south, resulting in a culture that is the same in the big places but different in the small places.The south is relatively simple, with a vast land and few people. There are only two big cities, Piaoxiang and Chahuo, and the smaller Jinyun City. Most of the population lives scattered in the villages. It is a little bigger, but its population is less than half that of the north, but it is called the granary of the pure land. I listened with great interest, the Pure Land is indeed a place with many changes. Hongshi continued: the north does not block the north wind blowing from the sea every day, so the four seasons are very different, and there will be heavy snow in winter. Our nine mountains and ten rivers, including six mountains and six rivers, are all there, so The shipping is very developed, the commerce is prosperous, and the population is concentrated in the twelve big cities and their surrounding areas. Then he looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, let out a long breath, and sighed: "Because of the differences between the north and the south, the northerners have always had the upper hand in politics. Among the eight priests, only three are from our south, that is, Huayun." , Heavenly Eye and Spiritual Wisdom. I was stunned, it turned out that there was such a subtle factor in it, and I could imagine that the northerners could easily ride on the southerners in everything because they accounted for an overwhelming number of people. Hongshi said: Before the arrival of the Heicha people, the two systems in the North and the South were already fighting for power. When the Heicha people came, the North was devastated, and the faction disputes subsided, but the North disappeared and the South grew. It is even more suspicious that the three priests of Tianyan lived in the south for a long time because they could not stand the discrimination and exclusion of the northerners. I suddenly said: No wonder you have special scruples about Yin Nushi, it turns out that there is a key to victory between the north and the south.In fact, I still thought in my heart: The appearance of me, the Holy Sword Knight, obviously complicates the relationship between the North and the South, and Yin Nushi can also use this to make a big fuss, creating suspicion and conflicts. Of course, Redstone and Sky Eye had thought of these problems long ago, but they were unwilling to speak out, so as not to affect my mood. I muttered to myself: The Pure Land is facing a catastrophe. Could it be that there are no people of insight in the north who abandon the prejudice of the superiority of the north and the south and strive for long-term interests. Hongshi said: "Of course there are, especially the younger generation. Yonov is the best example. Heicha people invaded the south, and it was he who tried to lead the army to help. We originally thought that Yin Nushi was also such a person, but we didn't know that she had evil intentions." , It's really unexpected. Only then did I understand what Tianyan meant by the so-called difficult road ahead. That day we walked until dusk, and Lishibao finally appeared in front of us.
