In my sight, lanterns and piles of bonfires were immediately lit, and the dark military camp in front of me immediately became lit.
We walked in the military camp until the big tent came into view. We all turned over and got off the horse and ran over in a hurry. As soon as we opened the tent, we saw that a few candles had just lit inside, and the flames were fluttering upwards, shining on the man sitting in the front.
He raised his head, and the dark tiger eyes reflected the candlelight, looking at us brightly.
"Yuanfeng!"
Pei Yuanxiu took me in.
"You're back."
Pei Yuanfeng supported his hands on the desk in front of him and slowly stood up from his seat, but immediately, an anxious voice came from his side: "Yuanfeng, don't move."
It was Xue Muhua, and as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Pei Yuanfeng's face twitching. Muhua hurried over and hugged his arm and let him sit down. Only then did I see clearly that his shoulder was injured and he was wrapped in a thick bandage.
I hurried over and said, "What's going on?"
Pei Yuanfeng frowned and ran through the pain for a while, then said, "It's nothing, I'm just an arrow."
I heard him say so lightly, but my already gripped heart was already hanging.
Although I don’t know what happened before, the people of the Dongchaga tribe would pull out all the troops he had planted in various valleys so quickly, and now they are surrounded by Nian Baoyu, but when I see that he was injured by arrows as the head coach, we can tell how dangerous the previous battle was.
"Are you seriously injured?"
Xue Muhua looked at me, lowered his head and carefully checked whether the bandage was loose, and whispered: "It's okay. Fortunately, those people don't have the habit of using arrows to poison them, otherwise-"
Speaking of this, her face turned pale a little. Pei Yuanfeng reached out and patted her on the back of the hand holding his shoulder: "Don't worry."
After saying that, he turned to look at us again: "I finally waited until you came back."
I had many questions to ask, but before I could speak, I heard people walking around and talking everywhere outside. More and more lights were lit and shining in through the tent. I asked, "Why didn't there be any fire in the camp just now?"
"I'm worried they'll attack at night."
"Now-"
"Since you are here, of course they will not attack at night." Pei Yuanfeng raised his head and looked at us. Under the candlelight, his eyes were not swallowed by the dim light at all, but instead seemed particularly bright: "They asked you to come back and persuade them to surrender."
I gasped.
Looking back on the past, I always treat him as a child. Even if we meet again, our status has changed drastically. I still can't forget the "Xiao Wu" who smiled in the palace. But at this moment, he in the military camp has completely subverted my understanding of him.
He, worthy of the title of "General Star" given by Luo Shi, had guessed that if we came back, we would be intercepted by the people of the Dongchaga tribe and use my identity to persuade us to surrender. Therefore, when we did not come back, he would not let the camp have a little fire to avoid the enemy's sneak attack. When we came back, he knew that the enemy would not sneak attack.
But - he is so presumptuous, why did the war be like this?
I thought about it, but still didn't ask this sentence that embarrassing to him, and just said, "Yes. As soon as we came back, we were intercepted by their people. Now, they have detained Li'er... and Lord Liu Qinghan and asked me to come back and use my identity to order you to give up resistance."
"Then what?"
“Cooperate with them.”
I thought that with Pei Yuanfeng's personality, even if he didn't get angry immediately, he would sneer and sneer, but he just frowned silently, and said nothing.
Pei Yuanxiu glanced at him.
I said, "Yuanfeng, we--"
Before I could finish my words, I heard someone lifting the tent and walking in, saying, "Are they back?"
I turned around and saw a familiar tall and thin figure standing there. Looking closely at the candlelight, it turned out to be Wei Zhengbang.
"You, why are you here?"
Just like what I feel about him, Wei Zhengbang has never had any good feelings for me. He just looked at us coldly and walked straight over, but he didn't say anything to Pei Yuanfeng, but looked at Xue Muhua: "What are you talking about?"
Xue Muhua looked at him, then looked at Pei Yuanfeng again, Pei Yuanfeng said: "The people from the Dongchaga tribe locked Qing--the eldest lady's daughter, and asked her to come back and tell us that we should surrender and negotiate."
"Surrender? Peace talks?"
Wei Zhengbang repeated these words and looked at me again. Under the swaying candlelight, he seemed to suddenly smile and said, "I have always heard about Miss Yan's deeds in the past, and I always feel that it is exaggerated. Today, I have seen that Miss Yan is worthy of being Miss Yan."
I frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
"Where can an ordinary woman, or a mother, do this and sacrifice her daughter?"
My face suddenly changed: "What did you say?!"
Wei Zhengbang said: "Isn't it? Didn't Miss Yan use her daughter as a bargaining for freedom? Are you really planning to let us negotiate with the people from the Dongchaga tribe?"
"Wei Zhengbang!" Pei Yuanfeng interrupted him sternly.
Wei Zhengbang looked at him unhappily, as if he was a little angry, but when he saw Xue Muhua beside him, the flames in his eyes fluttered and extinguished. He only smiled faintly and said, "What I said is just something everyone knows, what can't be said? Besides, Miss Yan has been back all the way, I'm afraid I've seen a lot. The people in the East Chaga tribe have no human nature. These people are cruel and ruthless. In order to force us to surrender, they are all tied to the riverside to behead us one by one..."
Seeing my face getting paler, Xue Muhua seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and said, "Stop talking."
Wei Zhengbang glanced at her and shut up obediently this time.
No one spoke any further in the tent, and the atmosphere became depressing.
Pei Yuanfeng glanced at everyone and said, "It's too late now, everyone should go back and rest first." After that, he ignored others and said to Xue Muhua beside him: "You have been busy all day today, hurry up and go back to bed."
"But your injury-"
"My injuries are not in the way, but your eyes are red and you can't be tired anymore."
"Yuanfeng..."
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
After saying that, he even patted Xue Muhua's back with the injured hand. Muhua looked at him worriedly, and finally turned around and walked out obediently. When she left, Wei Zhengbang's thoughts were no longer there. Pei Yuanfeng waved his hand again: "Go down."
I feel unwilling to accept it: "Yuanfeng."
"I said, go down."
He didn't speak harshly, but sat on the main seat with a deep face. The few candles behind him seemed to feel the pressure of pressure coming out of him. The wind in the tent also swayed. The clear extinction light flashed, and he was hidden in the darkness, with only those eyes, particularly bright, like a dormant tiger. I looked at him for a while, turned around and walked out.
When I walked to the door, lifted up the tent, I stopped again, turned to Pei Yuanfeng and said, "Yuanfeng, I don't care what you plan, but I can't let my daughter get hurt at all. This is something I absolutely cannot do!"
He sat there silently.
After saying that, I walked out.
There was finally light in the camp. At first glance, countless sparks in the fields seemed to be fighting against the stars in the sky. But such light only made my sight dimmer, and I almost tripped when I walked out. Fortunately, Pei Yuanxiu caught me and said softly: "Be careful."
I looked up at him, said nothing, but just grabbed his hand hard.

We returned to the tent we lived in before. After a big battle, there were not so many people coming to serve. Pei Yuanxiu and I only cleaned it briefly, but we couldn't sleep when we lay on the bed. We looked at the dark tent above our heads until midnight.
The camp was very quiet, with only the sound of the patrol team coming and going, and the sound of Bibai from the bonfire in the distance.
Among these sounds, a footstep slowly rang out and then stopped outside the tent.
I lay down for a while, got up in my clothes, walked slowly to the door of the tent, and when I lifted the curtain, I saw a tall figure standing at the door, the bonfire behind me was burning, outlining a familiar outline of his figure.
I looked at the bright eyes in the dark night and said softly: "Yuanfeng."
He took off his armor and changed into a thin shirt that was easy to rest. His hair was a little messy, and he seemed to have been tossing and turning on the bed for a long time. In this way, he still had a bit of the "Xiao Wu" look like he used to be.
I was also a little dazed for a moment. After looking at him and calling his name, I couldn't speak.
After a while, Yuan Xiu's voice came from the tent behind him: "Is it Yuanfeng?"
I didn't look back: "Yeah."
"Come in and talk."
"Um."
I nodded, looked at him again, then lifted the curtain. Pei Yuanfeng didn't say much, and walked in without saying anything.
There was darkness in the tent, and there was no trace of light, especially after seeing the flames outside, when I came in, I felt that I could not see my five fingers. I subconsciously reached out and rubbed my eyes, and immediately touched a gentle and powerful hand, grabbed my wrist, and gently pulled me over.
I sat on the edge of the bed and leaned against a warm body.
At this time, my eyes slightly adapted to the darkness in the tent, and I barely saw Pei Yuanfeng walking to the center of the tent, sitting on the ground, and looking at us: "I haven't even slept?"
Yuan Xiudao beside him: "I'm waiting for you."
"You know I'll come?"
"You are the head coach. No matter what Qingying is, you will have to make an idea when you arrive at this place."
