Flowing Years

Chapter 15

Bai Zezhi's wound healed a lot, and most of his spirit had recovered.Seeing that the sun was shining brightly in the autumn afternoon, Ze Zhi asked someone to move the soft couch under the big tree beside the martial arts field.

The sun shines through the lush leaves and falls on the soil.Bai Zezhi lay on the soft couch, closed his eyes and listened to the roar on the martial arts field in the distance, thinking about the formation method in his heart.

After a long while, Bai Zezhi slowly opened his eyes, watching the uniform formation in the distance.The blue sky is smeared with a few smoke clouds, and the black formation on the dark ocher land is the only solemn color between heaven and earth.In the procession, light yellow smoke rose, and the sound of slogans moved loudly and heavily with the pace.Bai Zezhi who was lying peacefully could feel the ground vibrate with the sound of slogans, pressing on his heart one by one.

Bai Zezhi looked away, and found Luo Anchang outside the martial field.Luo An often held the wooden fence with both hands, poking his head out to look at the formations on the martial field.Bai Zezhi frowned, and waved his hand slightly.Ye Yuan floated down from the tree and landed in front of him.

"Yeyuan, how long has that man been here?" Bai Zezhi asked softly.

"Not long ago, she has been looking around, maybe she is looking for General Song." Ye Yuan said.

"Why didn't you remind me?" Bai Zezhi raised his eyebrows.

Ye Yuan: "..." I didn't realize it until long ago!Besides, my duty is to protect you, not to monitor the daughter of the Luo family!Ye Yuan swallowed her words.

"That's all." Bai Zezhi waved his hand, pointing at the guard not far away, "Tell him to bring Na Luo Anchang over."

Ye Yuan went over to say something, then returned to Bai Zezhi's side, and flew up to hide behind a tree.

The guard turned Luo Anchang over, pressed him on the side of Bai Zezhi's soft couch, arched his hands together and said, "General!"

Luo An's usual hiding place is quite hidden. The wooden fence has been repaired once, and it is denser than other places, and there are yellow weeds three or four feet high behind it.She looked at Bai Zezhi tremblingly, her lips twitched a few times, but she didn't say a word.

"Do you know that slaves are not allowed to approach the martial arts field?" Bai Zezhi looked at Luo Anchang fixedly, with a serious voice.

"I...I don't know..." Luo Anchang shed a few tears and waved his hands in panic.

Bai Zezhi watched her wiping tears with both hands indiscriminately, wiping her face with tears, her immature expression was full of shock that could not be concealed, her brows and eyes were vaguely similar to Luo Yunhai, and her clear eyes were watery.Bai Zezhi's eyelids drooped slightly, and he looked up at her again, but his words were not as blunt as that: "You peep into the martial field like this, according to military law, the light one will be punished with ten sticks, and the severe one will be killed with a stick. The camp leader never told you ?”

"Slave..." Luo Anchang raised his head slightly, his eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about it, but it was fruitless.

"What's the matter?" Bai Zezhi asked.

"Slave... Slave..." Luo Anchang said two words, as if he couldn't bear the shock and forgot the purpose of coming, he cried loudly, "Slave... slave......"

In the distance, Song Yunyi jumped down from the stands and strode over.

"Brother General..." Luo Anchang cried loudly while looking at Song Yunyi.

Bai Zezhi looked at the crying poor Luo Anchang and secretly held his forehead, such childishness was extremely contrary to Luo Yunhai's temperament.

"What's wrong?" Song Yunyi half supported Luo Anchang, reaching out to wipe the tears off her face.

"General Song." Bai Zezhi swept Song Yunyi lightly.

"Yes, General Bai!" Song Yunyi immediately bowed down.When Song Yunyi heard Bai Zezhi call him that, he couldn't help holding back all his warmth and pampering, and saluted him according to his rank.

"You should know that slaves are not allowed to approach the martial field." Bai Zezhi glanced at Luo Anchang.

"The last general is not strict, please be punished!" Song Yunyi knelt down, face downcast.

Bai Zezhi raised his eyes to look at Song Yunyi, only to see him with his head buried.And Luo An often seemed to be frightened, staring blankly at Song Yunyi who was kneeling, and after a while he called out: "Brother General..."

"From now on, slaves must not be allowed to approach the martial arts field." Bai Zezhi said to Song Yunyi.

"Yes! The general will remember it!" Song Yunyi said sincerely.

"Go and receive the punishment." Bai Zezhi closed his eyes and lay down on the soft bed.

"Yes!" Song Yunyi bowed, then got up, and pulled Luo Anchang away who hadn't recovered.

The autumn wind blows, rustling in my ears, and the sound of clothes fluttering from far to near, and stops around me.

"If Prime Minister Luo knows something,..." Bai Zezhi said softly.

"Prime Minister Luo will understand your difficulties." Lan Yu pressed Zezhi's shoulder.

Bai Zezhi opened his eyes, looking at the smoke and clouds in the sky with clear and calm eyes.

"I thought you trusted Prime Minister Luo." Lan Yu said.

"I've always believed it." Bai Zezhi looked at Lan Yu, "If Luo Yunhai wanted to plot rebellion, he would not spend so much energy formulating practical advice on governing the country, and he would not argue hard with stubborn old ministers for a good policy for governing the country."

"That's right..." Lan Yu nodded, then looked at Bai Zezhi hesitantly and said, "This Luo'an is often naive, with a naive nature..."

Bai Zezhi lowered his eyes, thought for a while and said, "The military camp should follow the rules, so there will be no mistakes. Don't say that she is a slave, even the general's family members are not allowed to break the rules."

Lan Yu nodded, flipped the lever and said, "This Luo'an can't always be placed in the barracks."

"Yes, I'm afraid Yun Yi will be out of control." Bai Zezhi got up, stroked his clothes, raised his eyes and said, "Let's go, let's go to observe the punishment."

Lan Yu walked slowly and followed behind.

The execution platform has been surrounded three times inside and three times outside, but there is no sound.The sound of walking sticks came again and again, mixed with faint sobs.

Bai Zezhi walked up the stairs from behind, and stood at the entrance of the stage to watch Song Yunyi finish the last two sticks.Song Yunyi stood up stiffly, her snow-white underwear was stained with blood.

Luo Anchang broke free from the guards who were holding her, rushed to Song Yunyi and cried, "Brother General..."

"Don't be afraid, it doesn't hurt." Song Yunyi wiped the tears from her face.

Luo An often nodded in confusion while weeping.

"Why did you find me just now?" Song Yunyi asked softly.

"Ah!" Luo Anchang raised his head suddenly and cried, "Brother General, my mother has been ill for a long time, and she hasn't recovered... Woooo... what should I do..."

"Oh?" Song Yunyi said while supporting his hips, "Has the military doctor visited you?"

"I've seen it," Luo Anchang wiped away two tears indiscriminately, "It's not good yet..."

Luo An often walked over with Song Yunyi supported, but Bai Zezhi didn't move, just watched the two talking.

"Zezhi, this..." Song Yunyi went in front of Bai Zezhi and scratched his head twice.

"Don't worry." Bai Zezhi patted Song Yunyi's arm.

Song Yunyi smiled.

"Anchang, do you know you're wrong?" Lan Yu looked at Luo Anchang who was smearing his face beside Song Yunyi.

"Slave..." Luo An often looked up to the sky in a daze, as if he was recalling what happened just now.

"The rules in the army cannot be broken." Lan Yu looked at her stunned expression and pointed out, "Otherwise, your life will not be saved, and others will be hurt."

"I got it! I got it!" Luo Anchang replied immediately as if he was frightened, his eyes widened.

"Go back and do your business, someone will treat your mother later." Lan Yu's voice softened.

"Hmm..." Luo Anchang nodded quickly, then turned his head to look at Song Yunyi.

Song Yunyi patted her on the head lovingly.Luo Anchang finally stopped crying, and wiped his face twice with the back of his hand, then resigned and ran away.

"It's far away, don't look at it." Bai Zezhi said, turning around, "Don't hold on, go back and lie down."

"Hey!" Song Yunyi scratched his head twice and followed slowly.
