Xiao Zhiqiao smiled and walked in front of Xu Xingxia with an elegant expression. [No pop-up novel network]

The two walked out of the Chengmen Cave in Zhenyuanguan and came to the Gobi Desert outside. At this time, the outside of Zhenyuan Pass has indeed not been cleaned up, and there are messy battlefield abandonments everywhere. Looking at the past from a distance, it was a mess. The bodies of the personnel have been cleared and buried in a centralized manner. However, the corpses of the war horses, as well as all kinds of debris, have not yet begun to be cleaned up. In the air, there is still a strong smell of blood.

The main forces of the White-Coated Army were busy pursuing the Tartars and clearing the battlefield, all of which were handed over to the temporarily requisitioned people. There are also some recruits who are making their first appearance on the battlefield. Recruits appear here purely to exercise their guts. As for Minfu's appearance here, it is in the hope of becoming a new recruit. It may be the first time to appear on such a bloody battlefield, seeing such a cruel scene, some people, and some recruits, can't help but scream, and some people vomit on the spot. Some of them are so powerful that they even squatted on the ground and kept vomiting.

Xiao Zhiqiao walked slowly, her eyes wandering, looking at the surrounding scenes, her beautiful cheeks were slightly stiff. Other than that, there was no big reaction. Xu Xingxia also had to admire. Such a scene, even Tessna, is not very daring to watch. As for Mrs. Lin, Lin Feirong, Lin Xiaoniang, and Zhu Zhizhi, they must not dare to look at it. Xiao Zhiqiao, a young woman, has such courage, which is indeed a bit unusual.

I don't know, what is her origin? If she was from a civilian background and had no background, Xu Xingxia would never believe it. In this era, unless it is a time-traveler like himself, it is indeed too difficult for a civilian to get ahead. He was sure that behind Xiao Zhiqiao, there must be some special background. Perhaps, at the right time, Wang Qinian should be allowed to use the power of Xuan Yingwei to secretly investigate her.

The two walked all the way to a gravel hill. This is the highest point of the entire Gobi Desert, with a relative height of about 15 zhang. Standing here, you can just look around at the Gobi Desert. Behind this dune was also an ambush point set up by the cavalry of the White Army. Before, the cavalry of the White Army had been hiding behind the dunes, and every Tartar cavalry that caught up would be severely attacked by them. Every time the Tartar cavalry caught up, the result was that the whole army was annihilated.

Due to frequent ambushes, a large number of Tartar cavalry fell behind the sand dunes, making the Gobi Desert here seem to have been hit by countless heavy objects, and it was a mess, and it was completely impossible to see the original appearance. Due to the infiltration of a large amount of blood, the sand here has also turned red. It's as red as agate. In some places it was gritty, and even a little damp. When I stepped on it, blood kept coming out from underneath.

In the extremely dry desert Gobi, the only explanation for such a strange phenomenon is that there is too much blood, and there is no way to completely penetrate it. Or, underneath the dunes, the blood is completely saturated. One can imagine how many Tartar cavalry fell here. Look around, there are broken scimitars, broken curved bows, scattered bows and arrows, torn banners, and a lot of horseshoes, you can also speculate a thing or two.

Xiao Zhiqiao had good eyes, looked around, suddenly quietly stuck out her tongue, seemed to be a little playful, squinted at Xu Xingxia intentionally or unintentionally, and said coquettishly: "It is worthy of Xu Lao Mo, it is really a big deal." In this big battle, at least more than 5,000 Tartars were killed, right? Mo Yuegen is afraid that he will suffer a big loss this time, and even his old book will be buried. Behold, when he sees thee in the future, he shall go round about. ”

She didn't see it at all, and said the name of Old Demon Xu lightly. It's just that her actions just now are obviously the demeanor of her youngest daughter's family, a little playful and a little enchanting. Especially when he laughed, there were two small dimples, which reminded Xu Xingxia of a Cantonese song in later generations, that is, "Pear Vortex Smile". What he said to her, he ignored it.

In fact, when Xiao Zhiqiao laughed, she was indeed very cute. With a shallow smile and shallow dimples, it seems that Shen Jiayi is in every man's mind. If she hadn't known her identity, Xu Xingxia would never have thought that she was the kind of woman who was good at dancing with long sleeves and was at ease. It is said that a woman's appearance can be deceiving the most, and it is estimated that in her body, the performance is incisive. If you change to someone who doesn't know the details, you will definitely be fascinated by her and fall under the pomegranate skirt.

In fact, even if you know her true identity, see her shallow smile and her dimples, you can't help but feel relaxed in your heart. It's like going back to your teenage years, carefree and uninhibited. It's a very strange feeling. Xu Xingxia didn't know where this feeling came from, anyway, it silently surged up from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps, there are really only a few lyrics that can describe it:

The pear vortex shines lightly, reflecting the flower moon tune, but looking at the comfort and loneliness, the moment and the sharing of minutes and seconds............ The pear vortex smiled lightly, as if he had invited you, and Qimeng was light and wavering, ** still unaware............ Xiao Zhiqiao suddenly instructed the maid beside her: "Help me prepare a paintbrush." ”

Xu Xingxia came back to her senses, looked at her strangely, and said in surprise: "You want to paint?" ”

Xiao Zhiqiao stretched out her slender ten fingers, pointed to the crumbling sun in the sky, and said with a smile: "Such a beautiful day, it should have been a poem, but unfortunately, my poetry and song are really not good, only painting can make do with it." ”

Xu Xingxia sighed a little and didn't say anything. If you want to paint, then you can paint. I'm watching the hilarity anyway. Isn't it a bit boring to just paint in such an environment? What can be drawn in such a chaotic battlefield? You can't depict all the bloodshed on the battlefield, can you? That would scare the kids.

Xiao Zhiqiao's maid quickly set up the drawing board. In the Ming Dynasty, the painting tools were already quite advanced. Landscape painting has the tools of landscape painting, Gongbi painting has the tools of Gongbi painting, ink painting has the tools of ink painting, and calligraphy painting has the tools of calligraphy painting, all of which cannot be confused. Xu Xingxia glanced at it, and she didn't know what kind of painting tool Xiao Zhiqiao used, nor what she wanted to depict. Unfortunately, Xiao Zhiqiao did not explain.

When it was even more weird, before Xiao Zhiqiao started painting, she actually closed her eyes, as if she was contemplating something. After pondering for half a cup of tea, she began to sketch the lines. Xu Xingxia took a look and found that it was a figure. He couldn't help but wonder, I said Xiao Zhiqiao, you ran to the battlefield to depict the human body, isn't it a bit of a fuss? Do you have a special hobby? Is it only in such an environment that you have the inspiration to paint? If that's the case, you're asking for too much pervertedness. This is a slaughterhouse!

After continuing to watch, Xu Xingxia became more and more puzzled. Because, he gradually saw that the figure sketched by Xiao Zhiqiao seemed to be himself. That's right, it's indeed him Xu Xingxia. In Xiao Zhiqiao's pen, he is wearing golden armor, a bright red hat helmet, and a tiger jacket belt around his waist, and he is a young general of the Ming Dynasty. Fortunately, there are no two long red whips on his head, otherwise, it would be the reincarnation of the Monkey King.

Seeing this, Xu Xingxia understood that Xiao Zhiqiao was painting completely with her own imagination. This battlefield, or indeed indeed the place that inspired her. Maybe she didn't have any intention of painting at all, but it was just an occasional whim. Of course, perhaps Xiao Zhiqiao's painting has other meanings. However, for the time being, Xu Xingxia did not understand any other meaning. It's just a simple painting. You can't think that just because Xiao Zhiqiao dressed herself in the dress of the Ming Army, she came to persuade her to surrender to the court, right?

About half an hour later, Xiao Zhiqiao's paintings were finally completed. She put down all her brushes, inserted her slender ten fingers into the water brought by the maid, dipped a little water, and flicked it on the screen. The water penetrates into the rice paper and slowly blends with the ink. After a few moments, the picture becomes delicate and soft. It is as if, beyond the invisible picture, there is a sunset reference, which adds a tragic atmosphere to the picture.

In the picture, Xu Xingxia is no longer alone, but there is a lot more background. On the picture, Xu Xingxia is dressed as a young general, standing on the battlefield, looking into the distance. In front of him is the battlefield after the fight. The pathetic atmosphere of the battlefield was vividly rendered by her. And Xu Xingxia's image seems to have suddenly stood out.

However, this is not what makes Xu Xingxia feel the most interesting. The most interesting thing about him was that in the picture, behind him Xu Xingxia, there was actually a female military general, wearing a purple cloak, silently looking at the battlefield. The face of this female military general has only a few strokes, and it is not clear to see. However, Xu Xingxia always felt that this female military general was Xiao Zhiqiao herself. Strange, what did she put herself up for?

Xu Xingxia nodded thoughtfully, and said in admiration: "Not bad." ”

Xiao Zhiqiao smiled shallowly and said softly, "Can you give it to me?" ”

Xu Xingxia said with a smile: "It was originally yours, why did I send it?" ”

Xiao Zhiqiao seemed to be very satisfied with Xu Xingxia's answer, once again showed her shallow dimples, and said with a smile: "Please leave the name of the chairman." Without your name, the painting is not worth anything at all. However, if you leave your name, it will definitely be worth a hundred times. Maybe the little girl will have to rely on this painting for her retirement in the future! ”

Xu Xingxia smiled, didn't shirk, took the brush over, and wrote his name on it. His calligraphy is not very good, but his name is still visible. The dragon flying and the phoenix dance are not counted, but it is still okay to do it in one go. In fact, he did it all in one go. After writing it, he felt pretty good. At the very least, there is no shame on the painting. Even if he takes it outside, no one will accuse him of Xu Xingxia's signature.

Xiao Zhiqiao smiled and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Sure enough, it is a very distinctive gesture." ”

Xu Xingxia smiled and didn't say anything more. He understood that behind the painting, there was a certain story that would not be so simple. A fool would come all the way to Ningxia Town to paint a picture for himself, but he had to take it with him and sign it himself. No matter from which point of view, Xiao Zhiqiao is not such a boring woman.

However, what is Xiao Zhiqiao's purpose in doing this, Xu Xingxia didn't bother to ask. If she wants to say it, she will. If she doesn't want to say, it doesn't make sense to ask. It's hard to be confused! He didn't believe that such a painting could set off any big wind and waves. Mo Yuegen and Lin Dan Khan couldn't help him, let alone others?

After finishing the painting, Xiao Zhiqiao had no intention of staying on the battlefield. At this time, the remnant sun finally disappeared, the sky and the earth suddenly became dark, and the battlefield was a little more terrifying. The north wind blew and let out bursts of strange screams, which were sensational. The maids packed up the easels and the like, Xu Xingxia and Xiao Zhiqiao returned to the inside of Zhenyuan Pass. Along the way, Xiao Zhiqiao's footsteps were walking very fast, as if she was a little scared of the battlefield behind. It's really strange, I wasn't afraid just now, I'm afraid now, what is the reason?

Xiao Zhiqiao naturally had her own place to stay, and halfway through, she broke up with Xu Xingxia in a hurry. Even, she didn't even say something about the future meeting, as if she and Xu Xingxia would not meet again in the future. Xu Xingxia felt at that time as if she was just begging herself to paint a picture, and after painting, she didn't need herself. This is really a bit of a taste of not being a monk after fasting, which feels weird.

The first time I tried the taste of being snubbed, the elder had to smile helplessly. Even if he is depressed, he can't really see Xiao Zhiqiao. Someone else is a woman. Paralyzed, it turns out that she didn't come for herself at all, and she thought that her overlord spirit was leaking, everyone loved her, and the flowers bloomed! This time I sobered up.

"My lord, Mrs. Lin is looking for you!" When he was depressed, Liu Hanwu came to report.

…… When Xu Xingxia returned to the war room, Mrs. Lin was already waiting in the living room on the third floor. She was dressed in white and spotless, like a holy fairy descending to earth. There is only a cup of tea in front of him, and the tea is fragrant. This place can be regarded as Xu Xingxia's private land, and outsiders can't enter it. The key person in charge of this place is Tessna. Without her permission, it would be impossible for others, especially women, to get close to Xu Xingxia's side.

When Mrs. Lin was waiting alone, she felt fine, but when she saw Xu Xingxia coming in, her movements immediately became a little restrained. Even, on the beautiful round cheeks, there is a slight flush, and it feels like a girl is as shy as a lover when she sees her. There is no way, this is all caused by Xu Xingxia. It's just that even if she has some complaints, she doesn't dare to say it. She can only complain secretly in her heart, you Xu Xingxia, it's really bad.
