A few days later, Guanxi Army, which was moving north step by step, had just moved to the north of Qingluo Plain, where Gaer Qinling had stationed troops. The Tibetan messenger had arrived.

This time, the Tibetan messenger did not come to invite him to make peace. Instead, he sent Gaer Qinling’s War Letter and Hou Junji’s relic.

Qin Mubai read the battle book. Apart from Gaer Qinling’s usual provocative words, the book also told Qin Mubai that Gaer Qinling had already set up a “country-toppling weapon” to fight Qin Mubai in a decisive battle.

After asking the messenger, Qin Mubai learned all the details about Hou Junji.

Qin Mubai picked up a large urn of wine from the three relics of Hou Junji and locked himself in the tent. No one, including Li Ke, was to be seen.

The next day, Qin Mubai still didn’t come out. Li Ke and the others were calm, but one of them was impatient.

That night, Qin Mubai’s handsome tent was pierced open by a sharp blade, and a woman barged in-Ashner Xue Lian.

The tent was filled with the smell of alcohol, and Qin Mubai fell to the ground with the wine urn in his arms, as if he was dead.

Xue Lian slowly walked to his side and squatted down. He saw through the light that the tears on Qin Mubai’s face hadn’t dried yet.

Xue Lian’s heart immediately ached. She reached out to help Qin Mubai up, but Qin Mubai suddenly woke up and waved her hand, opening one of her arms and almost falling down.

“Qin Mubai, are you still a man?” Xue Lian was instantly annoyed, “I came to care about you with good intentions, but you hit someone! Also, how could a man secretly hide and cry!!!”

Qin Mubai struggled to lift his head and open his drunken eyes. He murmured vaguely, “Blood … Lotus?”

When Xue Lian saw him like this, she felt an inexplicable sense of sadness in her heart. The anger she had felt earlier was immediately swept away and she hurriedly came forward to help him up.

Qin Mubai sat on the chair, his face pale and his eyes empty as he stared straight at the top of the tent.

“What’s wrong with you?” Xue Lian said softly, “I’ve never seen a man so sad as you. I didn’t expect you to cry …”

“There are many things you didn’t expect.” Qin Mubai murmured with a dull expression, “Not only will I hide and cry, I will also blackheartedly kill the people who trust me the most.”

“No way! You’re a good man with a true nature! You’re not a loser at all! It’s even more impossible for you to harm someone with a black heart!” Xue Lian said with certainty.

“What do you know? Actually, I also have a very cowardly and black-hearted side.” Qin Mubai turned to look at Xue Lian and smiled bitterly. “Men are not allowed to cry in this world, so I have to hide and cry. The higher the position, the darker the belly. It’s just that there’s a difference between hypocrisy and ugliness!”

“I don’t understand. Why are you so heartless?” Xue Lian frowned.

“Hou Junji, I killed him” Qin Mubai spat out the truth after drinking.

“Really? I know a little about the cause and effect of this matter. I can’t blame you!” Xue Lian said in surprise.

Qin Mubai smiled bitterly and said, “Have you ever owned a hound?”

“Yes! Turkic people always keep hunting dogs.”

“When the hound looks after your house, will you tie it down?” Qin Mubai asked.

“Of course!” Xue Lian said, “Unless you’re out hunting, the hounds must be tied. Otherwise, what if you accidentally injure your neighbors or livestock?”

“I’m not tied.” Qin Mubai sneered and picked up the wine urn to drink.

“Actually, many people thought that Hou Junji was deliberately released by you. But … after all, Hou Junji was the one who did it. His fate was up to him. How could he blame you?” Xue Lian hurriedly grabbed Qin Mubai’s elbow and stretched out her arms to hug him.

“Why don’t you blame me?” Qin Mubai suddenly shouted, “If I didn’t want to use Hou Junji at the beginning, and didn’t look for Hou Junji, he wouldn’t be today!!”

Xue Lian was speechless for a moment and sighed, “Mubai, although I don’t understand the official way of the Han people, I heard from my father that those in high positions should not worry about the gains and losses.” There will always be people who live because of you, and there will always be people who die because of you. “Even if you indirectly killed Hou Junji, I suppose that you wouldn’t dare to invite someone as sensitive as Hou Junji without the acquiescence of your emperor, right?”

“You’re very smart” Qin Mubai smiled bitterly again. “Have you seen the three relics of Hou Junji? The sword given by the Emperor, the book given by Duke Wei, and the wine jug given by me must be very important to him. But his tragic ending was caused by me and the Emperor!”-Xue Lian, don’t you think I’m very black-hearted and desperate? ”

Perhaps he was really drunk after drinking too much, not only did he spit out the truth after drinking, but he also shed tears more easily.

At this moment, Qin Mubai burst into tears.

“As expected!” Xue Lian sighed and shook his head, “So it’s not your fault. This is the Emperor’s trick!”-The Emperor demoted Hou Junji first, and then tacitly allowed you to use him to establish kindness. In this way, Hou Junji will definitely serve you with all his heart! … The hearts of people are indeed terrifying! But Mubai … ”

“No buts!!” Qin Mubai suddenly roared–

“From the beginning, I treated Hou Junji like a hound, a spear! I let him bite and stab my enemies, and he can sacrifice and give up at any time!”

“Mubai, you shouldn’t have said such a thing!” Xue Lian was stunned.

“That’s right! Many people have done such a thing before, but very few people have said it.” Qin Mubai smiled self-deprecatingly, allowing tears to flow down his face as he said, “Even if I win this battle … the price I have to pay is simply too great.” Thousands of fallen soldiers, my father, and Hou Junji have all left me. To be honest, I have begun to hate war and get tired of bureaucracy. Because as long as I am in it, I will have to face death and cruelty every day, dealing with all sorts of intrigue and deception. If time can be reversed, I would rather not join the official than will. I’m tired, I’m really tired … ”

Xue Lian had never seen a man cry in front of her. Not even a single man could be heard. Every single word he said was filled with heartbreaking sorrow.

Xue Lian’s eyes turned red, and she couldn’t help but hug Qin Mubai tightly.

“Hou Junji! Come back, I want to drink three hundred cups with you!”

“Mubai, stop!” The deeply infected Xue Lian suddenly cried and hugged Qin Mubai tightly, pleading, “I beg you, will you stop talking and stop crying? My heart is so sour, so sour!”

Qin Mubai couldn’t help but cry.

He had never cried so sadly in memory of his deceased father.

Xue Lian hugged him and cried like a mess for no reason.

It was unknown when the two of them kissed each other, and it was as if heavenly lightning had stirred up some earthflame, and they were both passionate and eager.

Qin Mubai was so drunk that he was almost unconscious that he shouldn’t have said anything. Now, regardless of whether he should do it or not, he had done it instinctively.

Xue Lian’s mind, which should have been sober, turned into chaos at this moment. She only knew how to respond to Qin Mubai’s actions with astringency and enthusiasm.

It wasn’t until she was naked and a sharp pain came from her lower body that she suddenly woke up and shouted, biting Qin Mubai’s shoulder heavily.

Two rows of bloody mouthprints!

…

The sky lit up, and the sound of horns drilled in the barracks awakened Qin Mubai.

His head hurt so much that Qin Mubai almost couldn’t stand up. He felt that there was someone beside him, and when he looked sideways, he saw that it was actually Xue Lian who was sleeping soundly.

Qin Mubai suddenly woke up … “Mom, what did I do yesterday?”

Xue Lian suddenly woke up. Seeing Qin Mubai like this, she suddenly turned around and carried her back.

Qin Mubai was stunned for a while before turning around to hug her.

“Don’t touch me!!!” Xue Lian suddenly shouted, curled up and hugged his arms tightly in front of him.

“Xue Lian, I…”

“Don’t say anything!”

“Alright” Qin Mubai did not know what to say for a moment, so he could only try to get up and climb out of the quilt. “Rest well. I’ll go to the barracks and take a walk.”

“Don’t go!!”

“Uh …” Qin Mubai blinked her eyes blankly. “Alright, then I’ll accompany you for a while.”

The two of them lay like this, tucked under the same blanket, but neither of them touched the other.

After a long time, Xue Lian moved. Qin Mubai turned to look at her and the two of them looked at each other.

Xue Lian’s eyes were filled with shyness, anger, and tears.

“Sorry, Xue Lian, I … didn’t mean to.” Qin Mubai was speechless.

“You mean to say that you just have drunken sex and don’t like me at all, right?” Xue Lian’s tears rolled down her cheeks.

“No.” Qin Mubai hurriedly reached out to wipe her tears, “I like you, but …”

“No buts!” Xue Lian bit her lips and said, “If you are a man, no matter what you do, don’t regret it!”

Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment. “No buts? … These words sound familiar …” “What did I tell you last night?”

“Tell me everything you should and shouldn’t say!” Xue Lian said, “You said you were cowardly and black-hearted.”

Qin Mubai was dumbfounded. “Didn’t I ask the guards to keep no one within thirty steps of our tent?”

“I want to come, who dares to block it?” Xue Lian was a little annoyed, but he suddenly smiled again, “Actually, I sneaked into your tent and opened the tent to enter by myself!”

“Ah?” Qin Mubai suddenly looked around. Sure enough, there was a big cut in the tent above his head. From there, he could see the sunlight leaking in.

“Damn it, someone has seen the Living Spring Palace!!” Qin Mubai suddenly shouted and prepared to jump up.

“What’s your name?” Xue Lian suddenly pulled him back, “I knew it was your handsome debt. Who else would come near but me?”

With this toss, the quilt loosened, and Qin Mubai saw the spring scenery leaking out at first glance.

He swallowed his saliva crazily.

Xue Lian’s figure … was truly stunning to the point of killing!

“Turn around and don’t look! Otherwise, I’ll dig out your eyes!” Xue Lian hurriedly pulled the blanket and wrapped himself tightly. “Bring me my clothes!”

Qin Mubai was surprised and amused. He turned around and saw clothes scattered all over the room. The most exaggerated thing was that a thin, colorful green dress was hanging on the armor shelf ten steps away from the bed-it was obviously Xue Lian’s underwear!

“Last night … what exactly did the two of us do?”

Qin Mubai was confused.

Two hours later, Qin Mubai, dressed in military uniform, rode a majestic horse and appeared on the field. Although his face was still a little pale and haggard, his spirit was still pretty good.

Li Ke, Li Daliang, Qin Tong, Li Junxian, and the others were watching Xue Rengui lead Qin Mubai’s Yi Clan’s Yue Cavalry on the General Stage, practicing their formation ambush and shooting. The crowd burst into cheers from time to time.

“Xue Rengui is indeed an unparalleled genius!” Li Daliang, the old general who had spent half his life in the army, laughed loudly and praised, “Not only is he outstanding in martial arts, the cavalry he brought out is even more elite among the elites. He is not inferior to the profound cavalry of the Qin Palace in the past!”

“Indeed!” Li Junxian, who used to work in Baiji, also praised, “As expected of Guanxi Army’s number one general! Baiji, known as the best soldier in the world, is nothing more than this!”

“Don’t praise him too much. You’ll praise him badly.” Qin Mubai got off the horse and walked over, smiling.

Everyone glanced at Qin Mubai and felt relieved when they saw his natural expression.

Li Ke came forward and said, “Mubai, the Garqin Mausoleum has already written a letter of war and is gathering troops. It seems that the day of war is coming soon. However, half of our troops remain in Dafeichuan to rest and recuperate, and there is no news from Yuchi Jingde. What should we do?”

“Don’t worry, Garqin Mausoleum is just a means to pretend to be a bluff. Actually, he is just afraid that we will invade too early and not give him time to prepare.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Being disturbed by Hou Junji, Tibet’s Yuan Qi has been greatly damaged.” It won’t be easy for us to form an entire army to fight me head-on. In less than three to five months, he couldn’t even raise enough food for his troops. As for our soldiers, they will need at most another month to adapt to the plateau climate. At that time-it will be me, Guanxi Army, who has stepped into the plateau, and the time has come for my sword-finger to be more logical! ”
