    Chapter 37 Goodbye Yaochi Bathing

    Du He found the military camp of Xiangxiong Kingdom on the fourth day. More than ten thousand soldiers and horses gathered at a natural mountain pass.

    Looking at the Pingdu Mountain Pass that blocked the 100,000-strong Tibetan army, Du He couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

    I also understood the real reason why the Tubo army of hundreds of thousands, despite all their conspiracies, could not take a step beyond the thunder pool.

    This place is like the legendary line of sky, a natural fortress that is far beyond the ability to build with human power alone.  It is said that Huashan Mountain is the most steep in the world. This is actually because there are no real high mountains in the Central Plains.

    Compared with the Himalayas, Huashan is really not worth mentioning.

    Located at the foot of the Himalayas, the naturally formed steep fortress has obviously surpassed Du He's understanding of the word "precipitous".

    Du He did not go to Yaochi directly. He could not guarantee that there were no traitors from Xiangxiong Kingdom in the military camp.  He must remain mysterious. Only in this way can he achieve unexpected results.

    He was lurking in a high place, planning to sneak into the military camp at night.  At noon, when the red sun was high in the sky, Du He accidentally discovered a team of more than a hundred people leaving the military camp.  It was not a strange thing for hundreds of people to walk out of such a huge military camp, but Du He was stunned.

    "This is because these more than a hundred people are not ordinary soldiers on patrol, but all female soldiers. They are all equipped with swords, boasting bows, and wearing soft armor. They are young and beautiful.  They surrounded a heroic female general and walked toward the woods on the right.

    Du He has sharp eyes. Even though they are far apart, he still vaguely realizes that the female general sitting on horseback in the center is Yaochi, whom he has not seen for several years.

    ?I immediately stopped hesitating and followed him from a distance, planning to find an opportunity to meet with him alone.

    After following for about a mile, the guards beside Yaochi suddenly stopped. They scattered around, keeping their hands on their weapons, and formed an encirclement to clear their way.

    Du He secretly praised that every move of these female soldiers was clean and tidy, and it was obvious that they were well-trained at a glance.  He thought this while looking in all directions, looking for a way to break through their defenses.  Looking at the big trees in the sky all around, I made a plan in my mind.

    Near the Himalayas, the most indispensable thing is trees that are more than a hundred years old.  Like an ape, he climbed onto the densest tree and jumped lightly between trees.  His movements are lighter than that of a monkey, and the sound he makes can be covered up by the wind.

    The group of female generals who were under guard under the tree did not realize that one person had easily evaded their strict guard.

    After walking about two hundred meters, Du He smelled a smell similar to sulfur. The cold wind blew against his face. It was no longer biting cold, but there was a vague feeling of heat.

    not?

    Du He was shocked, got off the tree and walked forward involuntarily.

    After walking about another thirty meters, turning a few turns, and passing through a row of towering green pines, Du He's eyes lit up and he was stunned.  The scenery in front of you is no longer just big trees, but what comes into view is a quiet valley with staggered flowers and trees, red and white flowers, strange and inexplicable.  Deep in the valley, shrouded in clouds and mist, turned out to be a large hot spring covering half an acre of land.

    The heat of the hot springs and the coldness of the climate rub against each other, creating mist that makes the entire valley feel like a fairyland, ethereal.

    There is a big stone near the hot spring. Women's soft armor is neatly placed on the stone. In the center of the hot spring, among the clouds and mist, a beautiful figure is quietly washing her body. It is the brilliant Yaochi.

    Du He was a little dumbfounded, and at the same time a little nostalgic. The scenes from many years ago flashed through his mind like a movie.  During the hunting competition back then, I had accidentally peeped into the Yaochi bathing, and today, many years later, I was able to feast my eyes on it again.

    It¡¯s just At that time, Yaochi was as happy as a bird or a fish, playing and singing in the water. The songs were sweet and beautiful.

    But now?  She is still so beautiful her skin is as white as snow, her appearance is bright and holy, and her manners are impeccable, but she has lost that happiness.

    Although the scenery here is beautiful and the hot springs are comfortable, they can't bring out the slightest smile on her brows.

    A person wipes his body quietly without any sense of playing around for a long time.

    When Du He saw Yaochi showing signs of turning around, he hurriedly hid behind the stone.

    Yaochi has no intention of enjoying the comfort brought by the hot springs. Now she has a heavy responsibility and the safety of a nation on her shoulders.  The reason why I came here was because I had not taken a shower for many days. Most of the people in the military camp were men, so it was extremely inconvenient to take a bath, so I left the military camp.

    Now she has to rush back to prevent Tubo from taking advantage of her.

    Du He hid in a dark place and waited until Yaochi put on his clothes.?, his body flashed and he came behind her, using grappling techniques, he first restrained Yaochi with his left hand, and then covered her mouth with his right hand at lightning speed, preventing her from making any sound.

    Yaochi¡¯s martial arts skills were already inferior to Du He¡¯s, and she had just come out of the hot spring. She was lazy and unresponsive. When she noticed something strange and planned to resist, Du He had already subdued her.

    "Don't move, it's me, Du He" Du He was worried that Yaochi might not recognize him for a moment and shout out, or might recognize him and make a surprise noise, thus arousing the vigilance of the guards outside and exposing him.  Own.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????]

    The voice was very different from what he had heard in his dreams. In the memory, his voice was crisp and a bit raw, but the voice she heard now was much more mature, both familiar and unfamiliar, but she still heard it, it was him,  It's him, the one who dreams about

    Du He whispered again: "Let me go, don't make any noise, let them notice" After saying that, he let go of his hands.

    Yaochi turned around and stared blankly at the sweetheart in front of her who was different from what she had remembered. Tears had already filled her eyes. At this moment, she couldn't bear it any longer. Tears rolled down her clothes. She hugged Du He and whispered.  Crying.

    It has been more than three and a half years since we were separated from Du He. The impression of getting along with Du He in Chang'an is really profound and vivid in my mind.  Datang and Xiangxiong were friends of each other and had constant trade with each other. News about Du He also reached Xiangxiong through channels.  In the battle of Gaochang, Du He defeated 70,000 enemy troops by 7,000, and captured Gaochang without a single blow, as well as the Northern Expedition of Xue Yantuo, the capture of Hou Junji alive, and other deeds that Yaochi is familiar with.  I just feel that my sweetheart is unparalleled in the world and no one can compare with me. How can I forget this situation.

    A year and a half ago, Tubo invaded, and Yaochi had no choice but to take orders in the face of danger. He supported the sky with a single tree and carried the heavy burden on his shoulders.  Since then, she has never laughed, let alone cried. She disguised her emotions, built a high wall, and spent all her energy on dealing with the Tubo invasion.

    When Du He appeared, the emotions she had suppressed in her heart burst out, and she was overwhelmed with pressure and fear.  Under the overflow of emotions, there is a place to vent, and let it out together.

    Du He learned about Yaochi's deep affection from Zhu Huo and couldn't bear to refuse. He didn't say anything, but just held her in his arms and gave her a harbor to rely on.

    After a long time, Yaochi said faintly: "Why are you here? I'm not dreaming, am I?"

    Du He chuckled and said: "No, we have received the news from Zhu Huo. This time I will personally lead an army of 130,000 to come to the rescue. The army is now gathered in Qinghai and is working hard to adapt to the unique climate here. It is estimated that  The offensive will be launched in about a month. But Ican't worry about you, so I'm here."

    Yaochi was even more moved. She looked at him affectionately, feeling sweet in her heart. Looking at the face so close, she stood up on tiptoes and kissed his lips.

    Du He didn't know how to respond for a moment. Their lips were already touching, and the soft tongue penetrated like a snake.

    Du He sighed secretly in his heart, and also noticed his own feelings. Yaochi, a bold, open, yet tender woman, already had a place in his heart, and he responded enthusiastically.

    The swallow is light and the oriole is delicate and soft, yes or no?  Is it really an illusion?

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Through their respective experiences, Du He and Yaochi are no longer young girls who can't control their sense of proportion.  But at the critical moment, both parties stopped the car in time.

    Compared with their respective emotions, dealing with Tubo is obviously more important.

    The two sat side by side on the stone and started communicating together about the current situation.

    Yaochi said sadly: "I, Xiangxiong, am not as good as the Tang Dynasty. After a year and a half of decisive battles, I, Xiangxiong, have suffered heavy losses. There are less than 40,000 strong men in the clan, 20,000 of whom are already facing the enemy on the front line. The remaining 20,000 are currently undergoing training.  , ready to join the war at any time. If the consumption continues, it is estimated that only women and children can participate in the war. Now all our food sources rely on the efforts of women, the elderly and children, and the loss of national power is incalculable. "

    Even though Du He was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect the situation to be so bad.  He comforted: "Don't worry too much. My coming means that everything is over. The 130,000 troops I brought are now stationed outside Tubo, even if they haven't launched an attack yet. Songtsen Gampo doesn't dare to be careless, I guess.  They have already divided their troops and transferred most of the troops to defend the fortress. With their current strength, it would be a fool's errand to take Pingdu Pass"

    Yaochi also understood this, and he was relieved in his heart, and suggested: "Since we are here, I will report to my father and let you lead the army. You are too strong on me, and you will definitely be able to defeat Tubo."

      Du He declined politely: "Using soldiers is very strange. I in the dark is a sharp blade that can pierce the heart of Tubo. I am right behind you. Do you think Tubo will use the same method to deal with me? If the chance of victory is high, you should use  How do you deal with me? Do you have a good chance of winning against me?"

    Yaochi was enlightened and said: "No wonder you are so mysterious, so you are paying attention to this. But you are too careful. We Xiangxiong people are all heroes, regardless of gender, they are all using their own blood to protect their homeland, no matter  It will expose you.¡±

    "Really?" Du He smiled in disbelief and immediately told Yaochi what he had seen when he came.

    Yaochi suddenly stood up, with a look of shock on his face, and instinctively said: "Impossible."

    Du He said calmly: "When I first heard Zhu Huo say that he was found, I felt a little strange. You Xiangxiong and Tubo are all from the same lineage, and you can't tell them apart based on their appearance. If you didn't know who he is,  It's not easy to catch him. What I saw when I came here confirmed my idea"
