Chapter 29: The Third Act

In June of the seventh year of Yuansui, there was a great heat in Baisha Camp in Ye State.As the sun sets, the cicadas keep singing.

Unknowingly, it has entered midsummer.The soldiers in the Baisha camp trained under the scorching sun all day long. Only when the evening was approaching could they take off their scalded armor and take a nap in the shade of a handful of trees.

Seeing the mighty knights beside him sitting under the tree chatting and bragging, drinking and gambling, Jiang Yan took a few snorting horses beside him with some sense of loss, intending to take them back to the stables to feed some fodder.

Although it is a large battalion of boat divisions, the huge warships in Westport can accommodate a whole brigade of cavalry.In this way, when landing an attack, the advantages of cavalry being good at running and maneuvering can be brought into play.Therefore, the number of good horses bred in Baisha camp is no less than that of master Lu in other countries, there are as many as ten thousand horses.

When he learned from Xiang Baili that he could only be a stable boy, Jiang Yan felt extremely wronged.He vaguely guessed that this matter was related to the previous martial arts competition, but when he asked several times, the general just shook his head in response.

In the end, the young man had to accept the result that was far from his expectations, but at any rate he was officially enrolled in the military.

During the day, in order to cooperate with the training, Jiang Yan has been running back and forth between the school grounds and the stables, bringing in new horses for the soldiers who have not been exhausted to replace.Although there was still a hot wave in the air at this time, he was overworked and suddenly felt dizzy and weak, cold sweat continued, and the skin on his body seemed to have just walked through the tundra in Shuozhou, which was frighteningly icy.

The black-eyed boy realized that he might have suffered from heat stroke.Fortunately, he had already drank a bowl of mung bean soup on the sidelines of the school grounds to relieve the heat, and when his discomfort eased a little, he dragged himself, staggering towards his tent.

Jiang Yan lived not far from Ma She.After a day of exposure to the sun, the tent was extremely hot and humid, as stuffy as a steamer.As soon as he walked to the door, the young man felt a wave of embarrassing heat rushing towards his face from the half-covered curtain, which was unbearable.Feeling dizzy, he simply sat on the ground in the shade outside the tent, admiring the beauty of the setting sun in the harbor outside the camp, and went inside to rest after the heat in the tent dissipated.

Feeding, moving grass, shoveling manure, and brushing the ground in the stables every day made the boy stronger than before.Under the twilight, the breeze blows on the bare chest and arms, which is indescribably comfortable.

However, just as he sat down, Jiangyan suddenly saw from the corner of his eye that his tent seemed to have been tampered with, and it was in a mess.Not only the bed collapsed, but even the wooden dishes for eating rolled all over the floor.He couldn't help being shocked, and immediately jumped up from the ground and rushed into the tent, only to find that the Baipi he had hidden under the quilt was gone!

"There are sentries patrolling all over the camp. It is absolutely impossible for outsiders who have not declared their identity to sneak in and steal. The person who stole my dagger must be someone from this big camp!"

Jiang Yan tried his best to control his restless mood, trying to find some clues of the thief in the tent.But before tossing a few times, the symptoms of heat stroke became serious again.He only felt as if a huge boulder was pressed against his chest, no matter how heavily he gasped, he was so oppressed that he almost fainted.

Just at this time, a voice like a silver bell faintly sounded in the young man's ears: "Little stutter, little stutter! This girl brought Xue Ling to visit you again! Oh, why is that strange smell from you here?" It's heavy?"

The person who spoke was Ning Yue.Ever since Jiang Yan entered the barracks, the girl couldn't help running here every day. Even the soldiers guarding the gate recognized the red-haired girl.As soon as she got into the tent, she saw her companion half squatting on the ground with his upper body naked.Its broad back was soaked in sweat, and its muscles became more angular.

"Yeah—why don't you have any clothes on!"

Ning Yue instinctively stretched out her hands to cover her eyes, turned her back on the spot, and exclaimed in a high-pitched voice.

"Yue'er, why are you here at this time?"

Seeing this, Jiang Yan hurriedly grabbed a piece of clothing, and walked towards the girl while explaining.But before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt his limbs were weak, his eyes turned black, and he suddenly fell down towards the back of the other party!

The thin gauze skirt on Ning Yue's body was immediately soaked by the young man's sweat, and the warm and strong sweat quickly spread to her skin through the clothes.

"What are you doing, little stammer!"

The red-haired girl thought she was being hugged by the other party, and exclaimed, only to feel that her face was burning hot.It wasn't until she staggered from the bump that she felt the force behind her getting stronger and stronger, and she couldn't even stand up in the blink of an eye, and was crushed by Jiang Yan and fell to the ground.

It wasn't until then that she finally had the chance to see that the boy who fell on the ground was already pale, and he couldn't even lift his hands.

"What's the matter with you, little stammer? Where's the discomfort?"

Ning Yue stretched out her hand to help her companion up, but unexpectedly, the fluffy white ball that was nestled in her bosom all the time suddenly jumped off the ground, spun a few times on the spot, turned her head and hid behind her master's feet, He shouted "Jiu Jiu" outside the tent.

"Xue Ling, did you hear that someone is coming? You wait, little stammer, I'll call for help right away!"

The red-haired girl hurried out of the tent to ask for help.But under the orange-red sunset, she saw three young men in black armor walking towards her, and forced her back into the tent.

"Hey, the sky is dry and things are dry. I didn't expect that our young and promising Master Avoiding Horse Plague could not bear the loneliness. He met a wild woman from nowhere in the tent and did some stupid things!"

One of them with a high-pitched voice spoke first, but his tone was full of wanton insults to the two people in the account.

"Who are you? What kind of shit are you talking about here!"

Ning Yue was furious immediately, waved her hand and slapped the other person's face.The person who spoke didn't seem to have thought that the girl in front of him was so aggressive, and he was slapped firmly.

"It deserves it. I've heard that the red-haired chick next to Jiang Yan has a strong temper. Deng Guiyi, how dare you talk nonsense?"

The voice of the second person sounded, but it was hoarse and jerky, as unpleasant as two pieces of pig iron scraping together.

"However, this little girl is quite strong! I like it!" Deng Guiyi, who had a sharp voice, suddenly laughed. I like to ride strong horses, women are the same, the more temperamental you are, the more energy you give! Today you, a little girl, come to your door by yourself, why not wait on the military master to be happy!"

Ning Yue only felt that the opponent's arm was like a chain of human flesh, tightly hooping herself in it, and before she could resist, she was forcibly pulled over.

"Whoever of you dares to touch Yue'er again, I will let him lay his dead body here today!"

In desperation, Jiang Yan held up his breath and got up from the ground and shouted angrily.Although one of the three soldiers on the opposite side did not speak after entering the account, the young man had already guessed the other party's identity:

Headed by Yu Li, Deng Guiyi and Yuchi Jingde are an inseparable trio in the Benhai Camp.Among them, Deng Guiyi is the fifteenth generation great-great-grandson of the famous Deng family.Since three hundred years ago, his family has inherited the position of Guangluqing of Ye Kingdom, in charge of sacrifices, court meetings, wine and food in the palace, and his family is well-off.And Yuchi Jingde is the son of the court Weisi Sicheng's family, a civil and military family, but timid and fearful.

The black-eyed boy understood that the three of them could only come here today to find fault with him on purpose, and before he finished speaking, he punched Deng Guiyi in the face.But at this time, his body hadn't recovered from the symptoms of heatstroke, and he lost his aim halfway through the attack, and was easily dodged by the opponent.

Seeing this, Yu Li, who had been standing at the entrance of the tent, finally stepped forward, raised his elbow and savagely stabbed Jiang Yan under the ribs, knocking him down to his knees, coughing unceasingly.

"You did it before you finished talking? It really is the way of a country man! You should know why we came today, right? Last time you played tricks in the martial arts competition, you made the captain lose face in front of his subordinates. Now Not only the trash in the new army camp admired you, but even in my Benhai camp, there were quite a few soldiers talking about you happily after dinner—"

"So what? You knew you couldn't beat me, so you brought two helpers?"

Just as the other party spoke halfway, he was pushed back by Jiang Yan's neck.Facing the naked sarcasm, Yu Li immediately became furious, and pulled out a sharp short knife from behind, pressing it against the throat of the young man who still wanted to resist.

"You little bastard, you insist on going against me, right? How long do you think you can last in this big camp by yourself?"

"I'm not a bastard!" Jiang Yan couldn't help but growl.Now he could see clearly that what the other party was holding at the moment was the Baipi that Uncle You had left for him, "It really is you who stole my knife, return it to me quickly!"

"Why do I have to give it back to you? Aren't you a little bastard who is quite capable, and now come to me to snatch it back! Today, you can only choose one knife or woman. The remaining one will be treated as your response to Captain Ben. My apology!"

Yu Li was still yelling and cursing one after another, and became more and more confident.

The three people in front of them clearly came for the boy with black pupils.He was firmly pressed to the ground, but he knew in his heart that hard work was not the answer, so he had to take advantage of the short opportunity now to slowly accumulate precious strength.

Deng Guiyi locked Ning Yue's arms, and leaned forward and spat fiercely on the boy's face:
"I'm just a little jealous of you, can't I? Thinking about the status of my father, I have been in the naval battalion for so long, and I have only achieved the post of captain. I wanted to get a little experience here. I will add a few strokes to my official career in the future, but I never thought that I would be overshadowed by a little horseman like you, so that no one among the recruits would accept me! Brother Yu Li, stop talking nonsense with him, we will bring knives and women together today Go back. Forgive me that this kid will never dare to come to the Benhai camp to cause trouble!"

A series of malicious provocations made Jiang Yan completely furious.He didn't care whether the sharp Baipi had pierced the flesh of his neck, but he used the little strength he had finally gathered in his body to push his neck towards the blade as if desperately fighting, and struggled crazily!
Although the young lieutenant on top of him had a knife in his hand, he also knew that if he killed the other party in the camp, it would be of no benefit to him.However, as soon as he let go of his hand, Jiang Yan immediately seized the opportunity.

This time, the young man didn't directly grab the Baipi from the opponent's hand, but picked up a wooden bowl beside him, and slapped Deng Guiyi hard on the face!
The protruding bottom of the bowl hit Captain Squealer's face, instantly breaking his two front teeth.Hearing a scream, Deng Guiyi let go of the girl in his hands, covered his mouth and nose with both hands, and knelt down on the spot!

"You die for me!"

Drinking Yan Nu, he kicked hard on the opponent's back again.Deng Guiyi was immediately kicked and flew out, rolled ten times and smashed towards the corner of the military tent, curled up in a ball without even uttering a wail.

Seeing that the blow was successful, the black-eyed boy raised his fist again, and rushed towards Yuchi Jingde who was standing beside him.The other party was shocked by his desperate posture, and he didn't dare to step forward to parry, and immediately hid back in embarrassment.

"What are you two trash doing? Leave Yan to me to deal with! That girl is about to run away, hurry up and chase her back!"

Yu Li's roar brought Yuchi Jingde back to his senses.Although his face turned pale from fright, he still tried his best to catch up with Ning Yue who was fleeing to the outside of the tent.But before he could take two steps, the young man behind him sprang up like a black tiger pouncing on his prey, put his knee on Yuchi Jingde's side, and knocked him to the ground.The two entangled and rolled down in a pile, fighting.

There is an unwritten rule in fighting among the ranks of the Baisha Camp—for fear of being punished by Xiang Baili if he finds out about the fight, he never slaps his face unless it is absolutely necessary.Yuchi Jingde was timid by nature, at this moment, Jiang Yan was firmly pressed to the ground, and he was still punching the black-eyed boy's naked ribs and lower abdomen one after another.On the other hand, Jiang Yan waved his fist and greeted him in the face without hesitation. After only a few rounds, he broke the bridge of his nose and vomited blood.

In the camp on weekdays, Yuchi Jingde can be regarded as a character who is often fawned upon.But after all, he was still a ten-year-old boy, and after being beaten, he couldn't stand the pain, so he burst into tears on the spot, and burst into sobs with a hoarse voice.

Jiang Yan was relentless, and without saying a word, he punched the opponent's temple again, knocking Yuchi Jingde unconscious, and fell to the ground like mud.

"You bastards! Come again! Even if there are hundreds or thousands of people! I will beat you all to the ground!"

Jiang Yan stretched out his hand to wipe off the blood splashed on his face, and shouted with his back to Yu Li.But he was a bit exhausted after knocking down two people in a row. He wanted to get up from Yuchi Jingde who was being crushed by him, but suddenly he felt a strong sense of powerlessness spread from his feet to his whole body, and his vision suddenly became blurred. .

Yu Li took this opportunity to catch up with Ning Yue and dragged her back into the tent.Only then did he unhurriedly walk to the side of the weak Jiang Yan, and kicked his soft belly a few times, making him unable to get up again:
"Aren't you crazy just now, why do you look like a wild dog whose spine has been discounted now? Since this red-haired chick is so important to you, why don't you use her to help you remember! From today Begin to remember firmly, against Captain Yu of the Benhaiying, there will never be any good results!"

While the other party was talking, he started to walk around the girl with his hands.

Ning Yue's hair was pulled, and her hands were tied behind her with a belt by Yu Li.She only felt that her gauze skirt was loosened little by little, and she wanted to kick the opponent, but the force was absorbed by a thick layer of leather armor, and she could only watch the iron blue face of the opponent, Staring at a pair of round eyes, he shamelessly kissed his neck and shoulders.

Ning Yue wanted to cry out for help, but her mouth and nose were tightly covered, and she could only let out a low whimper.

At this critical moment, a white shadow came out from the corner of the military tent like a rabbit, crawled along the girl's body to her shoulders, and bit Yu Li's body which was not wearing any protective gear. hand.

"What the hell is biting people!"

The young captain let out an exclamation, and had no choice but to let go of the girl for the time being, and dodged while clutching her bleeding jaw.

Ning Yue recognized at a glance that the ball of white fluffy balls was Xue Ling who had been hiding earlier, but she realized that it was impossible for the little white fox to save herself right now, so she immediately shouted:

"Xue Ling, run, beware of this dead fish eye hurting you!"

However, the pompom did not leave obediently, and still bared its teeth to block in front of its master, but Yu Li quickly grabbed the big fluffy tail and lifted it upside down.

"Even a beast dares to fight against me?!"

The young captain became furious and grabbed the white fox's legs with both hands, intending to tear its spine in front of Ning Yue!

　Thank you for your attention to "Twin Moons", and hope that the wheat grown by the little raccoon can meet your appetite.
