Novoland: Eagle Flag Chapter 4: Soil of No Return II

The imperial capital faces south, three hundred and eighty miles away, Xiongguan rises to meet the sky.

Bai Yi and Xi Yan walked side by side, while Bai Qiulian and Mo Xue's two steeds walked slowly, their manes fluttering in the wind. Xi Yan was holding the ebony tobacco rod that was rarely separated from his body, lazily pressing the hilt of the sword, and the scabbard of the ancient sword knocked on the saddle with a "dangling" sound. And Bai Yi sat upright on the horse, his figure was as lean as a spear, he frowned slightly, and looked around.

What they are doing is the military path in Shangyang Pass. This city pass has not had any residents since the day it was built, so all the facilities are used for military purposes. The straight and vertical stone-built military roads divide the entire city gate into small squares, each of which is a barracks. Once the bells are lit and the bells roar, all the soldiers stationed in the city can rush to gather and defend the city.

At this time, two days had passed since the tragic battle, but the whole city gate still had a strong smell of fireworks, traces of thick smoke and blackness were everywhere, and unburned firewood could be seen everywhere on the road. Bai Yi relied on throwing 300,000 catties of burning firewood into the city gate, forcing Ying Wuyi to leave the city for a **** battle in a hurry.

"The design of this city gate is exactly the same as the detailed map hidden in my home." Bai Yi sighed softly, "I don't know what kind of genius designed it back then, and how much hard work it took. It was only because of his life that this pass was built. Emperor Qiangwei really tried his best to guard the gate of the imperial capital for his descendants. It is not an exaggeration to say that it will never fall."

"But it was still conquered by you, and it was nothing more than poisoning and fire attack, so Ying Wuyi had to go out of the city to fight." Xi Yan glanced at Bai Yi and smiled casually, "You are now Praising this city for never falling, is this an opportunity to praise your own military strategy that has never been seen before?"

Bai Yi is not angry, nor does he smile, and has no expression: "Ying Wuyi is also eager to fight me, right? That's why he left the city. And, if it wasn't for the time to return home, he We may have to pay a higher price if we shrink back and defend. I am not so proud that I think that I have conquered this pass with mere skills."

Xi Yan smiled without saying a word, and patted Mo Xue on the neck, and Mo Xue started to trot. Bai Yi's war horse, Bai Qiulian, trotted along with him. The two steeds, like old friends, let go of the vigilance and might of their war horses, and ran with their hooves flying and their manes dancing, like two little horses chasing each other on the grassland. Like a pony. Bai Yi frowned even tighter, but he didn't restrain Bai Qiulian. Xi Yan ran in high spirits, his body undulating naturally with the horse's steps, holding the cigarette stick between his fingers, breathing the oncoming wind and laughing loudly.

After running for a while, Xi Yan pulled the reins abruptly, and Mo Xue stopped with a long hiss. Xi Yan turned his head to look back from the way he came, and Bai Yi also stopped his horse and met his eyes. Bai Yi was slightly taken aback. At this glance, he suddenly felt that he saw the Jinwu Guard in front of the Taiqing Palace more than ten years ago again, with a lazy face, a self-deprecating face, and an unconvinced face.

"What do you have to say?" Bai Yi asked.

"Do you remember that the two of us walked this road, that was when we were still serving as Jinwu guards in the imperial capital." Xi Yan stroked the short beard on his chin, "At that time our official position was low, and General Feng Yulin Cheng Duxue's order was sent to Shangyang Guan Gong. The first thing he did when he entered the city was a number of strict orders. I remember one of them was not to run a horse unless it was a letter to deliver a letter. If someone runs a horse on the street, he will be arrested Stop, it is to beat the military stick five times. I remember that we were led to the military camp along this road, trembling all the way, holding the reins tightly, for fear that the horse would run away and violate the military regulations."

He suddenly showed a smile: "Now in Shangyang Pass, if I run to the end, who can stop me?"

Bai Yi was stunned for a moment, bowed his head in silence for a while, and then smiled a little: "Actually, I also remember this. At that time, we Jinwu Guards who came from the imperial capital were regarded as a bunch of rich dudes. I was looked down upon by the guards on duty. There is also a prohibition saying that unless someone guides the way, you are not allowed to leave the barracks and look around. I came to Shangyang Pass by chance. Before leaving this time, I regretted that I didn’t violate the military regulations and took the opportunity to see the structure and layout of this city pass. I only relied on a map to determine the strategy. In fact, I didn’t have enough confidence. I walked around the city today Circle, one thing in my heart is finally let go."

Xi Yan had a slightly contemptuous expression, and snorted lowly in his nostrils: "The higher your title these years, the more imposing you are, and you are getting more and more boring. It's the same thing, I think Seeing that today is not what it used to be, now you are taking your horse for a run, trying to have fun, but you look bitter and bitter, and everything has to be related to your military affairs, making it difficult to talk to you. "

He waved his cigarette stick and pointed at Bai Yi's face from a distance: "A person like you is also born to be a famous general, and you can't do anything else. If the world is stable and you can't stretch your ambitions, you can only go to the mountains to dig a hole for yourself." The pit buried itself."

"Ambition?" Bai Yi smiled lightly, "How can I have any ambitions? I am just a cart horse, because of the whip behind me, I have to move forward step by step. I will rest with you It’s incomparable, you have the aura of soaring ambition, but back then we were so soft-spoken, and even a small guard dared to order you not to run a horse. I guessed that you couldn’t swallow this breath in your heart. It’s been more than ten years, and you have already It’s the earl’s status, and I still have to say this. You said that you walked this road with trepidation back then, but I didn’t believe it, I only heard that you were full of disbelief.”

Xi Yan seemed to be choked by his words, a little resentful, he could only bow his head and keep silent with his cigarette stick in his mouth.

The two walked together for a while, Xi Yan suddenly took off the cigarette stick from the corner of his mouth, and lit the tip of Bai Yi's nose: "Your habit of criticizing others has not been changed for many years. The usual arrogance, No wonder I couldn't bear you back then!"

Bai Yi didn't expect this answer, and couldn't help laughing: "Even if I am arrogant, you don't know the problem of your own heart being higher than the sky? Who in the world can stop your horse, who can stop you?" Stop what you are going to do? Don't talk about a general protector, even the emperor, you may not pay attention to it. You were drunk back then and said that you have three hatreds in this life. You wish you were born in the Qiangwei Emperor Dynasty. You can raze Kyushu, no Born in Emperor Fengyan's dynasty, you can overcome the barbarians in the north. If you were not born in Ningzhou in the north, you can see thousands of beauties raising their wings against the wind, and their clothes are as white as snow. You yourself have forgotten all the rampant and unscrupulous words back then No? Am I so arrogant that if I say anything wrong with you, it will be unpopular?"

Xi Yan spread his hands, and glanced at him: "I'm unscrupulous, but I'm going against the law, and General Bai is Zhong Zhengping and hardworking?"

Bai Yi's smile suddenly froze on his face, and it became a little weird. He thought for a while, then turned to look at Xi Yan: "No, although you and I have many differences, if you say that in my heart, I am as unscrupulous as you. There is nothing I want to do in the world. People can stop!"

Xi Yan was slightly shocked when he heard the words. He was meant to be joking, but at this time he felt heavy for no reason, and led the horse for a few more steps. He whispered: "You are a self-aware person, but what you just said, you are such a rampant People who are not jealous, why have they become cart horses?"

"There are too many concerns." Bai Yi seemed to have anticipated this problem, and smiled to himself, "Xiyan, the world promises to be big, after all, it is not what we think, and it is not a flat river where you and I run. The quilt is put on the harness , Shen Jun can only become a draft horse. Although I also know that taking off the harness may lead to a brighter future, but I am no longer in the same state of mind as before, after all, I am not a person who looks at the world."

"What is your harness?" Xi Yan suddenly grabbed Mo Xue, turned to look directly at Bai Yi, and paused every word.

"You asked this question before, but I didn't answer it. Now you ask it, but I still can't answer it." Bai Yi still smiled, "But your luck is that you didn't get put on this harness. Unfortunately, it is also here."

Xi Yan was silent for a while, then shook his head and sighed, "Going around, I still can't figure it out. After so many years, from friends to rivals, I still don't know what you think."

Bai Yi didn't answer, but rode his horse and walked away with a smile.

A few sergeants in brown military uniforms passed by the side of the road carrying rattan stretchers, which were the military uniforms of the Chu Wei Army's mountain formation gun armor. They saw two war horses approaching and knew their identities clearly, so they carefully put the stretcher against the wall and put it on the side of the road, lined up with their chests upright, without looking sideways.

Bai Yi also held his right shoulder armor with his left hand and gave a military salute, and the sergeants responded with the same military salute. This set of military salutes extends from the era when Emperor Qiangwei created the mountain formation, and it is unique to the soldiers of the mountain formation in East China.

Bai Yi had already passed by with his horse, but he stopped suddenly, turned around and asked the soldiers, "Where are you sending the stretcher?"

The sergeants were overwhelmed by his majesty, and visibly became uneasy. Several sergeants stepped forward to cover the stretcher with their bodies, and took two steps forward for a long time. He lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Return to the general, he is a brother who died in battle, and sent him to be buried outside the city."

Bai Yi looked at him coldly: "I know he was a brother who died in battle, and I also know that he was sent outside the city, but is it really buried?"

Shi Chang was quite surprised. He looked up, but Bai Yi's eyes made him lower his head again, not daring to answer.

"Send it outside the city and throw it away?" Bai Yi asked in a low voice.

The very long lips squirmed a few times, and suddenly knelt down. Seeing Shi Chang kneeling, the rest of the sergeants also knelt down.

Shichang showed a slightly sad expression, and kowtowed: "Back to the general, I dare not hide it, I really sent it out of the city to be buried. But it was not the order of the battalion chief, it was our brothers, all from the same country who joined the army , I couldn't bear it, so I went out of the camp privately, and wanted to sneak out of the city to help him find a leeward place to bury him. Otherwise, he would be thrown outside and be eaten by wild beasts. If his parents asked him when he returned home, we would have no face to say."

Bai Yi nodded slightly: "Then it is true that the brothers who died in battle were all thrown outside the city, and no one collected the bodies, right?"

"Yes." Shi Chang replied, "There are too many dead and wounded. Now half of the battalion is full of wounded soldiers, and there is no way to bury them. The brothers who died in the battle have not been taken care of. The wounded brothers in the battalion are still dying." Some people can't hold it, I heard that the medicines and doctors prepared this time are not enough, many brothers have closed their eyes before the doctor can take a look."

He kowtowed again respectfully: "Brothers went out of the camp privately, General please punish."

Bai Yi's lips were tight, and it took a while before he shouted in a low voice: "Go out of the camp privately, don't obey the military order, five marks with the military stick, you come to the Chinese Army's personal barracks to receive the punishment after dark. But since you said To be honest, you are allowed to go out of the city and bury him."

"The kindness and punishment of the general, I have received, thank you, the general." Shi Chang kowtowed again.

The sergeants carried the stretcher and walked a few steps, when Bai Yi suddenly stopped them again: "Are you from Chuwei's hometown?"

"Yes." Shi Chang replied, "We are all from Chuwei's hometown, from Liuyuan City."

"I heard that Chu Wei's hometown has a custom of burial in his hometown. When it is like dirt, his feet should face the direction of his hometown. In this way, when his soul sits up, he can see the direction of his hometown at a glance, so he can find it. On the way home, go back and have a look." Bai Yi whispered, "So when you are buried, remember to keep your feet facing south."

After saying this, he turned his horse's head and left, and the soldiers kowtowed to his back.

Xi Yan sighed lowly, and led the horse to catch up with the slow-moving Bai Yi: "You seem to be old and talkative, and you will tell others such things... But in this battle, you can't There are really too many people returning home..."

"It's not a big deal once a general is successful. Those who go into battle must be prepared to be shrouded in horse leather. The leader of the army must not be soft-hearted." Bai Yi whispered, "But everything People, no one can escape the grief, after all, they are watching a living person fall with their own eyes, and their hometown and family members are worried about them, but they can never go back. The battlefield is not a chessboard after all.”

"Did the results of the casualties come out? I have already sealed the number of casualties in my Tang camp and sent someone to your account."

Bai Yi nodded: "It's worse than I thought. With 100,000 horses, 36,000 people died in battle, and 19,000 people were seriously injured. The rest can be used as a source of troops." There are only 45,000 sergeants, including those with minor injuries. A total of 36,000 people have not been buried outside the city, and people in the city are still dying, even if we send all the people out to the dead The burial cannot be completed in a day or two. Besides, we did not bring enough tools."

"Let them be exposed to the sun and rain?"

"I'm thinking about it, but what's more important is that we lack medicine. If we can't get supplies as soon as possible, the number of deaths will increase." Bai Yi's voice was low.

"I'm afraid it's too late to mobilize medicines from your country and our country. The fastest way now is to get support from the imperial capital. Please lead the troops into the apocalypse to pay homage to the emperor. Did you send it?"

"It was sent out the day before yesterday, and Kuaima Jibao should have arrived yesterday," Bai Yi was silent for a moment, "but there has been no reply yet."

Xi Yan nodded, he understood the meaning of Bai Yi's silence. The petition presented by the courtiers is another important matter such as asking for instructions to lead troops into the imperial capital. It seems unrealistic to expect immediate permission. However, in the process of waiting, I am afraid that someone will die every moment.

A black horse galloped up from behind, and a soldier in black rolled off the saddle in front of Bai Yi, and half knelt down: "General, we have captured Ye Zhengshu, the charioteer guard stationed at Shangyang Pass!"

"Ye Zhengshu?" Xi Yan was slightly surprised. He had heard the name before. Ye Zhengshu, the chariot guard of the Yulin Heavenly Army, was a courtier of the imperial family, and was ordered to lead six thousand well-equipped cavalry to guard Shangyang Pass. However, after Ying Wuyi crossed the natural barrier and took the imperial capital, it was too late for Ye Zhengshu's 6,000 soldiers to come back to help, let alone contend with Ying Wuyi's Red Brigade Thunder Riders. Soon he was removed from power, and Ying Wuyi ordered Emperor Xi to withdraw the 6,000 Feather Forest Heavenly Army in Shangyang Pass and replace them with red brigade guards. At this time, Ye Zhengshu was a general without soldiers, and no one cared about him. Dead or alive. Xi Yan did not expect that such a person could be captured from the city after the city of Shangyangguan was broken.

He glanced at Bai Yi, but saw Bai Yi's gloomy eyes suddenly lit up.

"Bring him here!" Bai Yi ordered.

The old man with gray beard and unkempt face was quickly brought to Bai Yi's horse, with his head down, his clothes ragged, and his body exuding a disgusting stench, as if he had been captured from some filthy place. Although no rope was given, Chu Wei's sergeant did not treat Ye Zhengshu preferentially. He kicked him behind the crook of the leg and forced him to kneel in front of Bai Yi's horse. Bai Yi raised his hand slightly, stopping any further movements of the soldiers.

"Is it Mr. Ye Zhengshu, the car and rider guard?" Bai Yi's face was expressionless, and he usually didn't look at Ye Zhengshu in front of him.

"See General Bai, the sinner Ye Zhengshu." The old man was like a frightened child who knew he had made a mistake.

Bai Yi nodded slightly: "Master Ye called himself a sinner, so it means that Mr. Ye knew that there was something wrong with his actions, so Mr. Ye should also be able to forgive Bai Yi for not seeing Mr. Ye as the royal family." My servant, but let Master Ye kneel here like a prisoner."

"Ye Zhengshu knew that his crime was unforgivable, and he no longer regarded himself as a courtier of the royal family." The old man kowtowed.

"Excuse me, Master Ye doesn't have to bow down to me, you just need to apologize to the royal family." Bai Yi said, "Master Ye is a courtier of the royal family, and was entrusted by the royal family with the important task of guarding Shangyang Pass. But when Ying Wuyi invaded the imperial capital, Master Ye's army was in order, but he didn't raise troops to serve the king, but missed the opportunity, and waited until Ying Wuyi's Red Army Thunder Cavalry approached the city from both sides, and then surrendered with their swords. As a soldier, this is one of the greatest shames. And Master Ye was even more wrong in knowing that Ying Wuyi threatened His Majesty to withdraw the defenders here, and it was not His Majesty's own will, but he obeyed without resistance. Not only that, all the troops and horses under Ye Daren's banner were withdrawn, and Master Ye But he didn’t return to the imperial capital to return to his life, but stayed in Shangyang Pass. Before I raised my army, I heard that Master Ye had also received kind treatment from Ying Wuyi these years, and he had been working hard for the red brigade stationed at Shangyang Pass. Isn’t that true? ?”

"Ye Zhengshu knows that it is an unforgivable crime for him to go out of the city and surrender. If he returns to the imperial capital, even if His Majesty does not commit the crime, the eyes of the world will be murderous. So he would rather hide in Shangyang Pass than go back, and serve Ying Wuyi. A petty official who is used to horses and food, but just waiting for death." The old man kowtowed tremblingly, "I joined the army because of the prestige of my ancestors. I have several years of experience in running Shangyangguan, and I was asked to take care of the chores here. How can a person like me get into the eyes of an overlord like Li Gong?"

This is the first time Xi Yan saw Ye Zhengshu, and he didn't expect him to be such a bad old man like a handyman, but he was also frank when listening to his answers. And helpless, can not help feeling. He looked at Bai Yi, wanting to intercede for Ye Zhengshu.

Bai Yi knew what his friend meant, so he just waved his hand: "Master Ye, I am not as old as you, so I shouldn't blame you like this. I also know that you are not from a warrior, but because you were born in the Ye family in the cloud In the family, you can be regarded as a descendant of a famous general, and was conscripted by the royal family to join the army. If you are asked to deal with Ying Wuyi's Red Army Thunder Cavalry, even if you are given an army of 60,000, it is just a dead end. But all living beings in the world are really afraid of one death , so you can bow your knees and be submissive? You are afraid of the murderous eyes of the world, and you still have a sense of shame, but because of this, you bury your name and hide in the Yingwuyi army to earn a living. It is really not what a man should do. "

Ye Zhengshu didn't dare to raise his head, so he lay there and replied in a low voice: "Ye Zhengshu knows what General Bai said. Ye Zhengshu doesn't have the intelligence and courage of General Bai. Ye Zhengshu doesn't have the courage to insult the emperor but doesn't have the courage to kill himself." , is just a villain who provokes resentment and ridicule."

Bai Yi was startled for a moment, Ye Zhengshu spoke calmly, but sincerely, which made him unable to express his contempt. He looked at the old man lying in front of his horse, his messy white swaying in the wind, and couldn't help sighing slightly: "You can be regarded as the blood of the Ye family in the cloud! The descendants of the famous general family, but there is no longer one." The blood and strength of the ancestors."

"If you're not a descendant of a famous general family, maybe you can live better?" Ye Zhengshu said calmly.

Bai Yi was silent for a while, frowning slightly, he knew what Ye Zhengshu meant, but he didn't like such a decadent person. He waved his hand, trying to order the soldiers to take Ye Zhengshu down, but his hand suddenly stopped in the air.

"Ye Zhengshu, then you said that you are still managing the chores of the Li** Group in Shangyang Pass?" Bai Yi's voice suddenly became severe.

"Yes, take care of some things such as horse straw accumulation and cannon crossbow maintenance, and manage a bunch of handymen."

"Then, do you know that Her Royal Highness the Princess of our country was robbed by Ying Wuyi?"

"The sinner knows. At that time, Duke Li stationed Her Royal Highness's mission in the barracks, and said that there was no one to take care of him, so he let my daughter go there," Ye Zhengshu lowered his voice, "Now that the city is broken, there is no need. Knowing whether my daughter is still alive... If she knows that her father has been hiding in the stable like a dog for two days, and dare not go to her, will she look down on me?"

Xi Yan immediately stood on the side, clearly seeing a cloudy tear slipping down Ye Zhengshu's face. The old man didn't seem to want to be seen crying, so he bent down and put his face on the ground. Xi Yan sighed, but it was inconvenient to reveal anything in front of the Chu guards, and looked up at the pale sky.

Bai Yi couldn't care about the old man's daughter at all. He changed his usual indifference and became eager: "Which camp is your daughter serving the princess in?"

Xi Yan's face became slightly ugly.

"Northern Fourth Camp." Ye Zhengshu whispered.

Hearing this, Bai Yi raised his eyebrows suddenly, and rode his horse to leave. Just now Bai Qiulian hissed and wanted to let go and run, but Bai Yi felt that Xi Yan beside him was like a wooden man and wooden horse, motionless, with a weird smile on his face. He froze for a moment, tightened the reins, and looked back at Xi Yan: "Aren't you coming with me?"

Xi Yan's smile became a bit bitter, and he spread his hands: "I haven't had time to tell you, before we came out to patrol the city, I got information that I found clues to the princess in the Fourth North Battalion."

Bai Yi was shocked and stared at Xi Yan.

"So I sent my nephew at that time, and asked Prince Qingyang of Beilu to lead fifty fast horses to pick him up." Xi Yan smiled to himself, "But there was no delay at all. .”

"You!" Bai Yi waved the horsewhip in his hand, pointed at Xi Yan's nose, anger rose in his eyes, "You won't tell me?"

"This is the proton of our country." Xi Yan shrugged slightly, "It's like your daughters are all married to my family. My father-in-law should take the lead."

Bai Yi's face was livid, he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't say a word, he could only stare at Xi Yan, as if he wanted to see a hole in this rascal old friend. Xi Yan was calm, as if he hadn't noticed his anger at all, turned his head with his cigarette stick in his mouth, and looked up at the sky.

At rest, the cavalry team galloped around the corner. They came in a hurry, and the wind caused a burst of ash to fly in the street. The half of the team behind had to cover their faces with their arms to avoid choking and blinding their eyes. Lu Guichen followed Xiyuan with his horse, not knowing where he was going. He only knew that this was a very secret mission. He hadn't dispatched it at first, but he was taking care of Ji Ye who couldn't afford to be seriously injured at the garrison of the supply camp. out, but did not say where he was going. At the time of departure, Xiyuan ordered the fifty fine cavalry transferred from the personal barracks to remove the golden chrysanthemum military emblem on their shoulders, and they did not carry the black banner of Xiyan like they used to travel. In the eyes of outsiders, this cavalry team is just It's just a team of well-equipped Xiatang warriors.

Along the way, he encountered small groups of military horses from other countries several times in a row, but Xiyuan did not stop his horse as usual, but instead covered his face and led the horse through, leaving others in the flying dust. This is extremely unusual, Xiyuan is Xiyan's only known relative, and he is known to all the brigades despite his young age. Everyone thinks that he will inherit his uncle's position, and they all call him "Young General". Therefore, every time Xiyuan met with the leading figures of other countries, he had to put on some pomp and ceremony and exchange greetings, unlike the usual hangout with Jiye Lu Guichen.

Lu Guichen glanced at Xiyuan's muscular cheeks, and couldn't help but also grasped the handle of Yingyue's knife at his waist. Two days after Shangyang pass was broken, the armies only erupted in a burst of jubilation when Su Yuanlang fell from the city wall and landed heavily on the city wall. After entering the city, the generals did not celebrate, and the sergeants did not relax. The coalition forces fighting side by side were again divided into the divided camps of various countries, reorganized their ordnance supplies, and treated a large number of wounded, without much contact with each other. There is a faint gap in the busy calm. Suddenly dispatched at this time, Lu Guichen's heart was full of speculations, he was no longer the kid playing the flute sitting among the yellow flowers on the grassland, and he also understood the incompatibility between countries.

The cavalry team turned into an empty camp that had not yet been activated, and had just passed a row of stone pillars where horses were tied, when Lu Guichen suddenly heard the sound of weapons being unsheathed. He reacted immediately, yanked the reins to stop the horse, and looked around with the knife. In the seemingly empty camp, a group of black-clothed infantry suddenly appeared. They were Xiatang military uniforms. There were about a hundred of them.

The cavalrymen of the personal battalion held their sabers and lined up to fight against the infantry. They were comrades-in-arms.

Xiyuan looked at the centurion: "You don't know me?"

"Where do you come from?" The centurion also looked at Xiyuan.

Xiyuan nodded slightly: "Is it the letter from you?"

He slowly pulled out his epee, the sword was only half a foot out of the sheath, a golden print near the hilt flashed, and Xi Yuan quickly pushed the sword back into the sheath. "Do you know my name?" Xi Yuan whispered. He was influenced by his uncle day and night, and his actions were calm and refined, and he already had the dignity and momentum to control his subordinates.

The centurion froze for a moment, took a step forward, and knelt down: "Young general!"

The sword in Xiyuan was a gift from Baili Jinghong, the lord of the Tang Dynasty. Baili Jinghong bestowed Xiyuan with a famous sword on his sixteenth birthday. On the sword was carved a chrysanthemum gold talisman for mobilizing troops and horses in the Tang Dynasty. The courtiers discussed privately. Ze and his nephew had a premonition of Baili Jinghong's urgency to win over the youth. Therefore, there are speculations in the court that the government of the Tang Dynasty, which has always placed more emphasis on business than military affairs, may undergo drastic changes in order to cope with the increasingly chaotic current situation in Eastern Europe. Xiyuan also became famous because of this. Although the golden chrysanthemum talisman on the sword does not have the power to mobilize soldiers and horses like a real soldier talisman, it is his own mark.

"Deqiu, the centurion of the Qianfeng Battalion?" Xiyuan asked.

"The subordinate is Deqiu!"

"Take me there." Xi Yuan jumped off his horse and said in a low voice. He turned around and gestured, motioning for Lu Guichen to go with him.

Lu Guichen walked beside Xiyuan, and the two followed De Qiu all the way into the camp. Both sides are barracks built of rammed earth, and the side facing north to block the wind is made of stone. At this time, the camp is empty, but the scale is larger than the few camps Lu Guichen has seen. Lu Guichen calculated in his mind that this place can accommodate thousands of people when it is full. And he also knew that there were no less than a hundred such camps in Shangyang Pass.

"The establishment is huge, right?" Xi Yuan noticed that he was looking around.

"I used to think that Tangwu Pass, which defended us from the barbarians in the north, was the most powerful pass in East China, and also the largest pass. Now I feel that the scale of this place is even bigger than Tangwu Pass." Lu Guichen said.

"Tangwuguan became famous because of Emperor Fengyan. However, East Lu has always had more civil wars than foreign enemies. Shangyangguan is known as the "lock of the imperial capital". Defenders. From this point of view, Tangwuguan is not as good as it," Xi Yuan said lightly, "If the countries in the eastern land are united, the seven divisions in the northern land are no match."

"Yes." Lu Guichen's heart moved.

"But these princes, even if you cut off their heads, you can't make them focus on foreign affairs. But if you just put a knife on their necks, they can still pretend to be peaceful for a while." Yuan smiled.

Lu Guichen felt relieved suddenly, and smiled at Xiyuan.

After walking a few steps, his expression became serious again: "The hostility between East Lu and our Hanzhou is still difficult to understand?"

"Yes." Xiyuan replied lightly, "Hanzhou is still too desolate to be suitable for farming. Uncle also said that Hanzhou does not have enough land to support the population due to the historical wars. As long as it remains like this for a day, it will be difficult to guarantee Will be hostile again."

"Then will we become enemies one day?" Lu Guichen walked beside him, he was already as tall as Xiyuan, shoulder to shoulder.

Xi Yuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "You said Ji Ye would lead soldiers to kick your tent?"

Lu Guichen was also stunned, thought for a while and shook his head: "Why?"

"Then neither will I. Ji Ye and you are friends, and I am also friends with you." Xiyuan said with a smile, "You are all so far north, and the trek along the way is terribly difficult. Why do I have to travel thousands of miles? To kick your tent?"

The two looked at each other, smiled and stopped talking. Lu Guichen's heart was completely relieved, and when he turned his head, he saw De Qiu stopped, pointing to a dusty bamboo mat on the ground: "Major General, this is it."

"Here?" Xiyuan squatted down and pressed the mat. He felt that there was no effort underneath, and it seemed to be a hollow.

De Qiu lifted the mat carefully. Lu Guichen looked down and was taken aback. Covered under the bamboo mat is a bottomless deep hole, the water vapor is very heavy, and there is a sour gas that has been soaked in the water for too long, together with the cool smell of moss and aquatic plants, gushing out together.

Xi Yuan stretched out his hand and probed the entrance of the cave: "It's so cold down there, have you checked it?"

De Qiu shook his head: "Not yet. This matter is of great importance. After finding out the clues, his subordinates immediately led troops to blockade the camp and sent someone to send a message to General Information. Don't dare to act rashly. The Major General is here. Before, people from Chen Guo and Chu Weiguo passed the door, and some people came to ask, but the subordinates didn't answer, they just didn't allow people to step in."

Xiyuan nodded; "You have done a good job. You should not be just a centurion for being so calm in the event of a major event."

Hearing the words, De Qiu couldn't restrain himself, his brows suddenly beamed with joy, he held back and didn't say anything, but his fair face showed blood with excitement. Xiyuan's words already clearly stated that he wanted to promote him, and as Xiyuan, De Qiu had no doubts that his words would be fulfilled.

"Don't worry," Xi Yuan smiled, "It's not difficult to be promoted, but you have to wait until I really dig a little princess out of the hole."

"Little princess?" Lu Guichen suddenly understood.

"Yes, Uncle said, if you don't get here, you can't tell anyone, and I didn't tell you along the way. According to various news in the past two days, Ying Wuyi didn't take that charming Princess Xiaozhou seriously at all. When the soldiers broke through, they neither took her away nor executed her on the spot, so the princess should still be hiding somewhere here. If De Qiu's information is accurate, there may be a delicate little beauty hidden in this bad-smelling cave " Xiyuan tried to stretch his head to look inside, but it was pitch black, he couldn't see anything, he could only hear the faint sound of dripping water.

"Have you ever seen the princess? How do you know it's a little beauty?" Lu Guichen followed him to look around.

Xiyuan thought about it for a while: "Princess, she is naturally a little beauty. Our Princess Ji in the Tang Dynasty is also a beauty. I think that all princes will definitely not marry an ugly woman. In this way, no matter how ugly the father is, the daughter It won’t be too ugly. This princess Xiaozhou is a descendant of the royal family, the child of the Chu Wei king, and she has been a beautiful mother, a beautiful grandmother, a beautiful great-grandmother, so she must be a beauty.”

Hearing what he said, Lu Guichen couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect that this calm and dignified friend would have such rambling thoughts. "But I heard that Chu Weiguo is the heroine." He said.

"The heroine's husband may be a peerless beauty." Xi Yuan turned to talk to De Qiu, "What is down there?"

"It's an abandoned well. The subordinates found a handyman here and asked about it. He said that when Shangyang Pass was built seven hundred years ago, the water level of the well was higher than it is now. The water vein is very deep. At that time, twelve wells were drilled with all the manpower. This is one of them. Later, the water level dropped, and this well could not pump water, so it was abandoned. However, the well is still connected Because of the water veins, it is very cold in summer, so someone proposed to dig a warehouse from the wall of the well to store fresh vegetables and meat, and it is said that it will not rot for a month.”

Xi Yuan looked along De Qiu's direction, and there was a dark square opening on the side of the vaguely deep part of the well wall, which seemed to be a small stone door.

"Hiding in this kind of place, I'm afraid people will rot, but there are still vegetables and meat?" Xiyuan didn't believe it.

"However, the handyman said that after the princess and her party were intercepted, they were indeed placed in this barracks, but he did not see the princess and the accompanying female relatives leaving. If you want to see people die or see corpses, the subordinates of this camp have already I searched all over, and there are no other suspicious clues." De Qiu said.

"Believe it or not, I can't let go of this opportunity. If a beautiful corpse is really found, the generals of the various countries will probably look even worse! I'll go down and have a look myself." Xi Yuan stretched his hand back.

De Qiu immediately handed over the torch. This young centurion was extremely intelligent, and when he brought Lu Guichen and Xiyuan here, he brought four torches soaked in tung oil and a bundle of long ropes with him. Xiyuan and Lu Guichen each took two sticks, one sticking to their backs in their belts, and the other in their hands. De Qiu also drew his sword, looking eager to try.

"You stay here, and I will go down with Young Master Chen." Xiyuan turned his head and glanced at him, "Arrange your men and the fifty people we brought around to be on guard. Without my order, anyone People are not allowed to go down the well!"

"Major General... This subordinate dare not take on the responsibility." De Qiu was stunned.

Xiyuan didn't even look at him, he fixed the rope on the stone pier where the horse was tied, and tied the other end around Lu Guichen's waist and his own. He glanced back at De Qiu, and smiled: "What's the matter? Look down on us pampered family children? Young Master Chen and I are in Daliuying, Nanhuai City, but we are also well-known figures. What's the matter with going down the well?"

De Qiu looked at the high-spirited young general, then at the noble but peaceful barbarian boy beside him, and the other two were also looking at him. The three looked at each other, all showing the kind of smiles that only young people have. De Qiu has always been cautious, but now he feels that there is not that much difference between himself and the noble barbarian young master and the promising family general.

"Your subordinate has an order!" De Qiu bowed his head and answered firmly.

Xiyuan untied the rope, took the lead in going down, and carefully climbed down the cracks in the wall of the well. He lit the torch, and suddenly the well was lit up, and a large group of buzzing mosquitoes was startled and flew upwards.

"Major General!" De Qiu was taken aback.

Xiyuan didn't answer, but just waved the torch, burning a few unlucky mosquitoes, and the others flew out in a mess. Then Xi Yuan raised his hand high and gave a thumbs up to show that he was safe and sound. De Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, and Lu Guichen followed suit. The moment he went down the well, cold air hit his whole body, and Lu Guichen felt a slight chill in his heart. He had a familiar feeling, as if he had once again entered the mysterious underground cave under the Tongyun Mountain, where the gloomy darkness went straight to the endless distance. He took a breath of cold and damp air, suppressing some discomfort in his heart.

The two people moved slowly down the cracks of the stone, illuminated by two torches, and the surroundings were covered with dark green and almost black moss. The rope, the two of them will not slip down by mistake. When Lu Guichen looked up, the light at the head of the well was getting smaller and smaller, but when he looked down, the bottom of the well was completely dark.

"What do you think of that centurion?" Xiyuan asked casually.

"That's right, he is a very smart and cautious person, and he is capable in his work." Lu Guichen replied.

"Well, it's rare to see such a person in our Tang camp. Go back and ask uncle to check his resume. Maybe he will be a general in the future." Xi Yuan paused, and suddenly said, " Arrived!"

He kicked **** the rotten wooden board that sealed the entrance a few times, and finally there was a click. It was obvious that the pin locking the wooden board broke, revealing the real hole. Xiyuan pulled out a delicate cavalry crossbow from his back waist, pulled the string, and weighed it. He pulled the rope and used his strength to swing, and flashed into the hole. After falling about the height of two people, he stepped on the ground. He secretly belonged to the scout organization "Ghost Bat Battalion" built by Xi Yan. He was trained for foot combat in the dark. Before he landed, he threw the torch in his hand, and immediately rolled sideways. In this way, even if someone wanted to attack him in the dark, it would be difficult to determine his position. Xi Yuan didn't make a sound, squatting in the darkness with the cavalry crossbow in his hand, watching the torch roll on the ground, only a flat ground was illuminated. Another sound fell to the ground, and Xiyuan knew it was Lu Guichen. He also knew that the barbarian young master's sword skills might not be bad, but he didn't have any experience in this kind of place, so Ce rolled over and grabbed his belt, and retreated very quickly.

Lu Guichen also threw out the torch. The torch was soaked in tung oil and rolled on the ground without extinguishing. Xiyuan and Lu Guichen were back to back, each holding a weapon.

"Is anyone there?" Xi Yuan lowered his voice extremely low, he didn't see anyone or hear any voice on the route illuminated by the torch.

"No." Lu Guichen also replied in a low voice.

"Then take the risk!" Xiyuan and Lu Guichen moved back to back in the direction of the torch, each pulled out the other torch stuck in their belts, lit it, and then picked up the two torches from the ground. The four torches were raised at the same time, and the surroundings were illuminated. This is a square basement, which is indeed the layout of a warehouse. The ground is flat, and the walls are made of earth and chalk. The entire warehouse was built in such a deep underground, and the project was quite large, but there was no cargo storage, and it seemed that it hadn't been used for a long time.

Xiyuan felt his hand was burning hot, he shook his hand fiercely: "Lime, there is lime in the ground, be careful not to touch it. It is used for drying, it really is a warehouse."

"But there is no princess." Lu Guichen whispered.

"There is someone, but I don't know if it's the princess." Xiyuan looked solemn, pointing to the ground covered with lime.

Lv Guichen stared wide-eyed and saw vaguely messy footprints.

"It's not a footprint of a person. And the bow of the shoe is so small, it's not a man. Except for some women who serve as handymen in Shangyang Pass, there are very few women." Xiyuan walked along those footprints, gradually showing a smile .

The fire illuminates the front, and there is a secret door on the wall. It was also painted with chalk, and it was level with the wall, so it would have been invisible if you didn't pay attention.

Xiyuan lifted the epee with the scabbard attached, and turned around to give Lu Guichen a wink. He lowered his voice: "I just hope to be a living princess, and everything will be fine."

Lu Guichen held two torches in one hand, and held the knife in the other hand, nodded vigorously, his whole body tensed.

Xi Yuan let out a low cry, held the hilt of the sword and spun the heavy sword above his head, and hit the center of the secret door with a huge impact. Inheriting his uncle's foot fighting technique, his physical strength was extremely strong, and the secret door collapsed in an instant. Lu Guichen, who had already accumulated his strength, threw the torch violently, kicked the ground with all his strength, and rushed in like a sharp arrow. Xi Yuan waved his hand and unsheathed the epee, and when the scabbard fell to the ground, he didn't look at it, and stepped on it.

A woman's scream pierced Lu Guichen's ear like a steel needle, and the fire was on. He saw everything in front of him clearly, his hand softened suddenly, and he was no longer full of strength to draw the knife. And at this moment, a figure swooped over from the side, raised a wooden stick with a thick wrist, and smashed the door at him. Xi Yuan was far more sensitive than Lu Guichen at this time, he stepped forward, gently and deftly snatched the wooden stick from the man's hand, and knocked her to the ground with his mouth.

It was a stout woman, dressed as a servant, dressed in rags, panting on the ground like a female beast, and wanted to jump up. Xiyuan didn't give her any chance to fight back, he stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, pressing the cold sword edge on the back of the servant woman's neck. The servant woman rolled her eyes and waited for Xiyuan, and when Xiyuan met her gaze, she also felt a chill all over her body.

Lu Guichen took a step, and the echo of footsteps could be heard around him. He saw clearly that what he was in was a huge space that was more than ten times larger than the warehouse outside. There are still some wicker baskets scattered here, but they are obviously empty, and some dusty jars are piled up in the corner, exuding a faint smell of sauce and rancidity, which seems to be the smell of rotten pickled eggs. At the end of the warehouse where the firelight could barely reach, the unkempt women covered their bodies with dirty linen and leaned against the earthen wall to warm each other, shivering but making no sound. Looking into their eyes, Lu Guichen felt like he was staring at Heijing, and he felt as if the back of his head was being pricked by countless needles.

That look, that gaze, that disheveled hair, those women. He thought of that night when the moon was like a hook, and Heluntie didn't make any sound, looking at the young Lu Guichen, his eyes were similar to those of the women in front of him.

There were two corpses lying on the ground in the middle of the warehouse, a male corpse and a female corpse. The corpses were horribly bluish-gray, and seemed to have been dead for a while. The male corpse is burly and naked, and the ancient totem pattern can still be seen on the back. The female corpse was pressed under him, the clothes on her body were torn, a piece of her breast was bitten off, and the coagulated plasma dyed half of her **** black. The back of the male corpse was cracked. Lu Guichen glanced back and saw the wooden stick that Xi Yuan had snatched from him. That heavy blow to the back of the head must have been caused by a wooden stick. When this Liguo red brigade **** was violent to a woman, the servant woman jumped out and gave him a fatal blow.

Xiyuan kicked the wooden stick away with one kick, then ignored the servant girl, walked to Lu Guichen's side, and looked around.

"That's right, it's these people." He whispered, "They don't look like ordinary women. It seems that they escaped from the rebellious army and hid here, only to be discovered by this desperate person from the country. This man raped these women with passion, and when it was that woman's turn, he himself was killed."

Lu Guichen nodded.

Xiyuan took a deep breath: "I don't know if the princess was killed, but even if she is alive, it would be terrible."

"What?"

"The princess is a hostage of Chu Weiguo's alliance with our country, and she may marry into a noble family of our country in the future. If she is raped by a soldier from the country, let alone marrying, even if Chu Weiguo asks, the king will not confess .Although everything can be blamed on Li Guo, both of us are ugly." Xiyuan lowered his voice, "Go and see."

Suddenly there was a roar from behind, and the servant woman panted and jumped up and rushed towards Xiyuanhu. The moment she was about to grab Xi Yuan's neck, Xi Yuan did not turn his head back, and hit her forehead accurately with a backhand. The servant woman was shocked by the force of the punch and fainted to the ground.

The two of them approached the women slowly, their gazes sweeping across. Lu Guichen felt his hands and feet were sore and limp, but his face was as hot as a fire. Many of those women were naked, or only wore remnants of clothes that exposed their **** and thighs. As they breathed slowly, their **** rose and fell under the dirty and tattered linen, revealing jade-like beauty from the holes. color. Some of them are dressed as female officials, some are maidservants, the older ones are only in their early thirties, and the younger ones are only thirteen or fourteen years old. Because of the long-term cold, hunger and fear, these women seemed to be stupid, they did not raise their heads, did not speak, and breathed weakly.

Xiyuan didn't dare to look at it, with a bitter face, covered his eyes with his hands, and asked Lu Guichen, "Do you think it looks like a princess again?"

Lu Guichen froze for a moment, then shook his head silently, he thought that there are all beautiful women here, almost everyone has been insulted, their clothes are torn to pieces, and they can no longer tell the difference between noble and poor.

Xiyuan was helpless, put down his arms and followed him to distinguish, cursing viciously: "***, I wish I could go back and chop that trash again!"

"Who?" Lu Guichen asked blankly.

"That red brigade pawn! A man, he was beaten to death like this, and even insulted the good princess. It's fine if he dies, leaving us with an unmanageable mess!" Xi Yuan was furious. Heartburn, I was already thinking about how to explain to my uncle. He was in turmoil, and wanted to make up a reason to say that it was a great misfortune for a woman to be bullied, but it was not a stain if she thought about it, and finally survived safely. But as soon as this idea came out, he dismissed it himself, thinking that persuading the princess to be more open is like persuading the sow not to get close to the boar, I'm afraid it will be a bit more difficult, and now he doesn't even know whether the princess is dead or alive.

The more he thought about it, the more he got annoyed, so he got up and yelled: "Which one is Princess Xiaozhou? Please tell us who you are! We are officers under General Xiyan of Tang Dynasty, and we are here to rescue you!"

His words had an immediate effect. Those lost women seemed to be surviving from a desperate situation. Those dry eyes suddenly began to roll, revealing an unusual eagerness, but still vigilant. A woman struggled to stand up, but the sackcloth slid down, revealing her pale but alluring breasts. Xiyuan was taken aback, took a small step back, and stared at her: "You... sit back!"

The woman sat back in a daze, not daring to resist. Everyone was silent, Lu Guichen and Xiyuan looked at each other, helpless. At this time, a low voice sounded: "The two claim to be here to save you, so has Shangyang Pass been recovered?"

It was the oldest of these people who spoke. She stood up, her clothes still intact, presumably because of her age she kept her chastity. Although the clothes were filthy, the luxurious materials and exquisite workmanship could be seen. Different from others, this woman can still keep calm, she and Xiyuan looked at each other with dignity.

"Shangyang Pass has been broken, and the Li army has withdrawn. These things happened two days ago." Xiyuan replied.

The middle-aged woman's body shook, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, and then she completely relaxed. Her body seemed to have been pulled out of bones, and she slid softly along the wall. She sat tremblingly on the ground and covered her face with her hands. After a long time, she let out a sharp hiss and burst into tears. The tears of all the women were aroused by this howling. They slapped the ground, and the crying filled the huge warehouse, making people's scalp numb and helpless.

Lu Guichen and Xiyuan were still two older children after all, standing there in a daze, unable to speak a word. Lu Guichen looked at these women one by one, trying to find the princess from inside, but at this time these women were crying like women in the fields in the countryside who were desperate, and they still couldn't see the dignity and humbleness. He suddenly saw a woman huddled in the farthest corner, only she didn't cry, she was still terrified, but very quiet, she just bit her lips tightly. Compared with others, her appearance is not so outstanding, but she has a kind of heroic brilliance, her lips are rosy from being bitten, but her eyes are as black as black. Lu Guichen looked at her eyes, and suddenly felt a natural familiarity. He was stunned for a moment before realizing that those eyes were a bit like Ji Ye's black pupils.

Xiyuan also noticed the woman, and walked over slowly, but heard the crying behind her cut off for a moment. A woman suddenly yelled with the utmost misery: "Zi Ran, Zi Ran! Xiao Ran! Xiao Ran! Xiao Ran, don't die! Xiao Ran, we are saved! Xiao Ran, you can't die!"

Xi Yuan turned his head and saw a woman with only a green skirt on her upper body desperately rushing towards the middle-aged woman just now. At this moment, the burlap was torn away, and the woman hugged a little maid in a tattered purple palace dress. Even though the woman in the green dress swayed on her body, there was no response, and she was obviously out of breath. That was also a very pretty girl, but when she was about to die, she had a horrifying expression, her hands were curled up like chicken feet, and her nails were covered with blood. As for the new bloodstains on the middle-aged woman's arm, the girl was holding onto her arm before she died.

The woman in the green dress hugged the girl in purple and cried: "Xiaoran, Xiaoran! Open your eyes, we are saved, don't leave your sister behind!"

Lu Guichen's heart moved slightly, and he understood that among the women accompanying him, these two were biological sisters, and their appearances were somewhat similar. He felt pity in his heart and sighed lowly. The woman in the green skirt cried for a while, as if she suddenly understood, she rushed forward and grabbed the middle-aged woman's chest tightly: "You are the one who smothered Xiaoran to death! It was you who smothered Xiaoran to death! Pay me back!"

The middle-aged woman known as Mrs. Shuang had been holding back all this time, but at this moment she suddenly became furious, pushed the woman in the green dress out, and angrily scolded: "Useless slaves! We are trapped in the enemy's camp, we are suffering The insult, but persisted until now, isn’t it just to keep the princess? If your sister hadn’t screamed, the villain would not have been attracted the first time, and we don’t have to suffer again. Now she can’t help but shout Shouting, if the person who comes is not the one who rescued her but someone who has evil intentions, won’t us weak girls become meat in the mouth of others? So what does it matter if she is strangled to death?”

Xiyuan and Lu Guichen looked at each other. Lu Guichen couldn't help feeling a chill when he thought that it was the elegant and dignified Mrs. Shuang who covered the girl to death with one hand so that she couldn't scream because she couldn't hear the slightest sound outside.

Xiyuan confirmed that Mrs. Shuang was the leader here, and took a step forward: "Is Princess Xiaozhou okay? Where is she now?"

Madam Shuang straightened her sleeves, bowed slowly with the royal gift, and said in a low voice, "Please move a little bit."

Xi Yuan took a deep breath, straightened his chest, and followed Mrs. Shuang a few steps forward. Madam Shuang stopped in front of a pile of messy sackcloth, folded her hands on her chest, and bowed generously. She tore away the sackcloth, Xiyuan and Lu Guichen saw a pair of eyes first, those eyes were too clear and quiet, seeing such a pair of eyes here made them both slightly startled. But the owner of these eyes was a petite girl, her face was pitch black, and she didn't know if it was greasy mud or something else, so she couldn't see her face at all.

Lu Guichen and the little girl looked at each other, and the girl was not afraid, her eyes were always soft and quiet.

"The princess is... such a young girl?" Xiyuan looked at Mrs. Shuang hesitantly, "What's going on with this face?"

Lv Guichen saw anger appear on Mrs. Shuang's face, and hastily pulled Xiyuan's arm. He grew up in the palace, and he pays more attention to etiquette than Xiyuan, knowing that such words should not be said no matter what.

Madam Shuang coughed, cleared her throat, and announced as if standing in front of a palace: "This is His Royal Highness Princess Xiaozhou!"

After all, Xiyuan is still a child who grew up in the military camp, so he doesn't like this much. He glanced at Mrs. Shuang, took out a face towel from his arms, and half-kneeled in front of the girl: "Don't move around. !”

He didn't care about etiquette, he held the girl's small face with one hand, and slowly wiped off the thick layer of plaster with a face towel. He wiped it for the first time, and was surprised. After the plaster was wiped off, the nephrite-like skin underneath was exposed, and it was as delicate as a flower petal. He couldn't help but lighten the strength on his hand, and wiped it carefully, but the girl didn't move, so he let him toss.

It was not until he wiped his small face clean that Xiyuan nodded, took a deep breath, and turned to Lu Guichen, "It's a princess, it's real!"

As if seeing a piece of emerald soaked in clear water to warm it up, Xiyuan and Lu Guichen felt astonished when they saw this little girl. Lu Guichen had seen many young and beautiful women in the palace, and Xiyuan was not someone who had never seen the world, but none of them would have thought of facing a seven or eight-year-old girl by themselves, but they were so surprised that they couldn't tell. Come on. Her beauty is flawless, as moist as flower buds, as clear as white jade, and as brittle as ice and snow, making people dare not touch them for fear that they will suddenly shatter when touched.

"Sure enough, she is the princess that the emperor loves. How many generations of peerless beauties have to be her mother, grandmother, great-grandmother to raise her!" Xiyuan completely ignored Madam Shuang's cold eyes and anger, and praised her.

He touched the clothes on the little princess who were still considered neat, and felt relieved: "I was scared to death, I didn't expect such a young girl, but I forgot to ask her birthday when I came out. But such a young girl, think about it." Even if Li Jun is not as good as a beast, he won't get involved, right?"

He looked at Mrs. Shuang inquisitively, and then he felt that the anger in the lady's eyes could almost kill, so he shut his mouth knowingly.

He got up, straightened his armor, and bowed respectfully: "Going down to the Tang Dynasty, the commander of the military hall is under the command of General Xi Yan, the deputy general Xiyuan, and pays homage to His Royal Highness Princess Xiaozhou of Chu Weiguo!"

He turned around and glanced at Lu Guichen: "Young Master Chen, you don't have to worship her. You are of equal status to her. Uncle specially sent you here because of your status, in order to show our sincerity in welcoming the princess." .”

Mrs. Shuang immediately understood that one of the two people in front of her was the eldest son of Qingyang in Beilu, so the greeting was considered cautious, and her face softened a little.

Xiyuan stood up, turned around and spoke to Lu Guichen in a low voice: "But this princess doesn't make a sound, is she a little dumb? Or was she born a silly child?"

His voice was not low enough, Mrs. Shuang could hear it, she was so angry that she almost blurted out a reprimand regardless of relying on these two rescues right now.

"I'm not a stupid child, I'm just not very good at talking." A clean and transparent girl's voice sounded behind the Xisha, like dew dripping.

Xiyuan turned around and met the eyes of the little princess. He froze for a moment, at this moment he suddenly felt that the little girl was not only beautiful, but also had the serenity and dignity of a princess. When she said that, the girl was still quiet. She looked at Xiyuan, then lowered her head, as if she was a little sad.

"I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you traitors, Xiaoran was killed by you!" The scream broke the peace here.

Lv Guichen looked over and saw that it was the girl in the green dress. This time she spread her fingers and fiercely threw herself at the woman who was not crying just now, as if she wanted to gouge out her eyes. The others didn't stop her, and allowed her to rush forward to punch and kick the woman. The woman didn't resist, but just curled up and let her kick and kick. Gradually, two more women rushed up, kicked and beat the woman in the corner fiercely, then two more, and finally almost everyone surrounded the woman together. They seemed to hate this person so much , tore her dress, and grabbed her body fiercely, as if to tear her into pieces.

Lu Guichen thought of the woman's dark eyes, and felt that those eyes were familiar and warm, even though the woman didn't even look at him for a moment. He couldn't bear it in his heart, he took a step forward but hesitated, but seeing those crazy women had already started tearing off the woman's head in the corner, Lu Guichen couldn't hold back anymore.

"Stop!" He and Xiyuan shouted violently almost at the same time.

Lu Guichen was a step too slow, Xi Yuan charged straight up, tossed the fighting women to the ground three by two, and blocked them by the corner with outstretched arms to prevent them from jumping on again. The epee in his hand shone coldly under the light of the torch. The women were frightened, and gradually regained their composure, shrinking back to the wall. They realized that they were almost naked in front of the two young men, so they quietly pulled the torn pieces of cloth on their bodies to cover their bodies.

"What's going on?" Xiyuan asked Mrs. Shuang.

Madam Shuang adjusted the neckline of her palace attire, her face was as serious as her name, "That person is not from our Chu Weiguo mission, but an accomplice of a traitor!"

"The accomplice of the traitor?" Xi Yuan turned his head to look at the trembling women huddled in the corner. Her head hung down, covering her face, and she tried to hug her chest tightly, but the clothes were torn into strips, unable to cover the beautiful lines of her body.

"This woman!" Mrs. Shuang's anger was like a murderous dagger, and she pointed at the woman who was cowering in the corner, "She is an accomplice of the traitor, not a member of our Chuwei Mission. The traitor sent her here , pretending to serve the princess, but actually spying on us! Her father is Ye Zhengxun, the chariot guard who betrayed the royal family and joined Ying Wuyi!"

Xiyuan laughed: "Then since she is the daughter of a traitor, why didn't Mrs. Shuang kill this thief girl before we came? Wouldn't that be a meritorious service for the royal family?"

Madam Shuang was stunned when she heard the words, her face flushed and she was furious, but she couldn't do anything, her gaze was like a knife, as if she wanted to pluck a piece of flesh from Xi Yuan's face.

Lv Guichen thought for a moment, and he understood. At that time, these women fled here taking advantage of the chaos during the fire attack. It was not clear which side would win, and they could only wait for the result in fear. The traitor's daughter couldn't be killed at that time, but now that the situation has settled, she only thought of punishing her. He didn't like Mrs. Shuang's cold and cruel look, so he stepped forward a few steps to stand side by side with Xi Yuan, and stopped the woman behind him.

"Are you two who protect the rebels, are you still loyal to the royal family?" Mrs. Shuang saw Xiyuan looking at her coldly, not being shocked by her majesty at all, she couldn't help being furious.

"The king's law is the king's law, and the military law is the military law!" Xiyuan said coldly, "Now that Shangyang Pass has been restored soon, it is under the jurisdiction of the coalition army, and there is only military law in the barracks. I will take everyone here. Leave it to Uncle, Mrs. Shuang, your identity has not yet been confirmed, even if you are a prisoner of the two of us. Let alone your prestige of Chu Weiguo, don't use it in our Tang Dynasty. Madam gave me orders just after being rescued , don’t you know there is no place for women to speak in the army?”

Madam Shuang's face was pale, but her eyes could only lower her eyes powerlessly. She was a natural wife in the Chuwei Palace. There is no way to display the prestige. Lu Guichen and Xiyuan looked at each other, and they laughed at the same time. They both had the same heart for Madam Shuang's disdain. Lu Guichen took off the beige battle suit outside the cavalry armor, and put it on the shoulder of the woman behind him. The woman raised her eyes in horror and glanced at Lu Guichen, Lu Guichen saw her eyes again, they were indeed pure black, as rare as Ji Ye's eyes.

"Thank you, General." The woman said hoarsely, the corner of her eye was scratched, and a drop of blood slid down like a tear.

"What's your name?" Lu Guichen asked.

"Li Hong, Ye Lihong."

Suddenly, there was a heavy landing sound from the warehouse outside. Lu Guichen and Xiyuan were stunned for a moment, they held down their weapons at the same time, and stood side by side. Before Xi Yuan came down, he ordered De Qiu to guard it strictly, and he would never let anyone go down without an order. Then the person who came at this time was not from the Tang Dynasty. There was another continuous sound of falling to the ground, as if more and more people jumped down from the entrance on the wall of the well. When the sound of falling to the ground passed thirty times, Xiyuan's face turned slightly pale. Thirty people is a small army. But in this place, tens of feet underground, if the enemy came, it was absolutely impossible for him and Lu Guichen to break through the siege of so many people.

"There are probably more than fifty people." After the last sound came to an end, Xiyuan said in a low voice.

"They are all in armor, they landed heavily, and there is the sound of armor pieces." Lu Guichen said.

Firelight came in from the only entrance between the inner warehouse and the outer warehouse, and dozens of torches illuminated it brightly. But no one made a sound, those people seemed to spread out and stand in formation very quickly. The other party seemed to be well-trained and strict in military discipline. A person stepped in slowly, he was just a black shadow in the firelight, and he couldn't see clearly. The sergeants followed with torches aloft. The person in charge seemed to be amazed at the huge space in the inner warehouse, looked up and praised: "Good! The facilities in Shangyang Pass are really extraordinary!"

"It's Fei An..." Xiyuan recognized the man's voice.

Fei An, the coach of the Chen Kingdom, the only famous general in the Chen army, and the city guard of Jintan City, the capital of the Chen Kingdom, led more than fifty elite infantry standing in front of them. Although separated by a long distance, Lu Guichen and Xiyuan couldn't help but want to retreat. The formation formed by the opponent completely blocked the entrance. The sergeants used square shields to cover the front, and their sabers were inserted into the gaps between the shields. This is a heavily defended formation, exuding cold and sharp hostility.

"Unexpectedly, the two children came one step earlier." Fei An said coldly. He walked forward slowly, and the sword and shield array followed his footsteps without landing.

Xiyuan and Lu Guichen exchanged glances. Xiyuan retreated to the side of the little princess like lightning, with the epee across his chest, covering her with his body. Lu Guichen slowly pulled out Yingyue, held it behind his back, took a step forward, and sank down. He stared closely at Fean, pointed the blade forward, and landed gently on the ground. This is the preparation to advance.

Fei An took a look at his posture holding the knife, was a little surprised, and stopped in his tracks.

"Go down to Tang Xiyuan and Lu Guichen from the Qingyang Department to pay a visit to General Fei." After a moment of confrontation, Xiyuan said, "Is General Fei also here to welcome Princess Luanjia?"

Fei An sneered: "Sure enough, he is a young man under Xiyan's tent, with courage and promise. Now that you know why I came here, then don't think about resisting. There are some things that I don't need to say. Xiyan's face, I Leave it to him."

"Does it mean that General Fei will protect Princess Xiaozhou on behalf of our country?" Xiyuan asked. He didn't have the slightest liking for Fei An, and he had heard that all countries cared about this princess. He was aware of the current situation, Fei An showed his blade, and he could only delay time. His heart turned sharply, thinking of De Qiu who was guarding outside, De Qiu could mobilize 150 people under his command, but Fei An was able to reach here. Then De Qiu and his men might have been disarmed, and the ones guarding outside should be Chen Guo's sergeants.

"You repay Xi Yan. Princess Xiaozhou will be taken care of by our country, and our country will send the most capable people to **** Princess Xiaozhou to the imperial capital, and the rest will not be taken care of by Tang Kingdom." Fei An said slowly. He wasn't worried, the two older kids were not in his sights yet, and his manpower had an absolute advantage.

"Princess's trip is not to the imperial capital, but to Nanhuai!" Xiyuan shouted.

"Is this something you, a little lieutenant general, can talk too much?" Fei An had already seen that Xi Yuan's military rank was not high.

Lu Guichen looked at the sword and shield warriors behind Fei An. These people are clearly well-trained one-of-a-kind players, with cold eyes and lean stature. They were all dressed in black, without helmets, and had dark green bands on their foreheads. Lu Guichen was not sure about breaking through this formation, he looked at the sabers of those warriors, and felt a sudden chill in his heart. On a knife protruding from the gap in the shield, uncoagulated blood dripped.

"Blood!" he whispered.

Xiyuan heard it, and immediately saw it too. He froze for a moment, then suddenly shouted angrily: "General Fei, where are our guards outside now?"

Fei An pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled very coldly. He waved his hand, and something was thrown from behind the shield and rolled far on the ground. Xiyuan could see clearly, the blood-splattered fair face, dying eyes still staring. It was De Qiu's head. Before the young centurion could be promoted, he had already died at the hands of the friendly army.

"Fei An! You are a mad dog!" Xiyuan gritted his teeth and roared loudly, "You killed my comrade-in-arms, and you dare to be presumptuous here!"

Fei An glanced at him coldly: "The one who growls like this is a mad dog. I dare not let a child like you teach me a lesson. What our country aspires to obtain, we will not let it go easily. You go to the Tang Dynasty Even a little centurion dared to stand in my way. He took his own head and sent it to the blade. If I killed him, it would be the same as if he committed suicide. I think you are Xiyan’s nephew. I will give you a chance at last. Get out of the way, Your Royal Highness, let me take you away, and you can go back to the camp safely to return to your command."

"I can't agree!" Xiyuan paused every word, firmly.

Fei An sneered: "You still have time to think about it, if you reject it quickly, you will have no time to regret it."

"Do you dare to kill me?"

"Not necessarily. Under the soil here, you can't see the sky, and others can't help you. How to make a decision is up to you." Fei An pressed the saber at his waist, and he took a step back, his body tensed like a hard bow.

"I've already made up my mind!" Xiyuan took a step forward, then lowered his voice, "You protect the princess, I'll take the lead."

Lu Guichen heard his words, but did not retreat, but took a step faster than him, and Yingyue's blade poked out to touch the ground. He was still far away from Fei An at this time, and the knife was pierced in front of the sword shield like a nail, and a stream of light flashed across the blade, revealing a cold murderous intent. Xi Yuan stepped forward to stand side by side with Lu Guichen, patted his shoulder, and sealed the heavy sword across his chest.

"You protect the princess, I'll be at the front." Lu Guichen said, he didn't know what to say at this time, he just wanted to tell Xiyuan that he didn't want to hide behind.

Xiyuan looked down at the two heads of Deqiu in the middle, his face was slightly flushed, and his voice was extremely low: "Don't worry about the **** princess, I just want to talk to him forever!"

Lu Guichen turned his head and looked at his friend in surprise.

Madam Shuang got up and stood up: "Since both of you are here to rescue the princess, why can't you sit down and have a good talk? I am in the palace, but I also heard that General Fei is the pillar of Chen Guo, and The officer from the Tang Dynasty came here after hearing the news, so he must be a loyal man. We are all loyal to the royal family, and Ying Wuyi, who rebelled against the party, is our common enemy. Are we going to draw swords against each other over trivial matters in private?"

She puffed out her chest, with a dignified and proud expression, she swept her eyes and looked around the crowd, wanting to see the reaction of these soldiers. Seeing Fei An's arrival, she already had a plan in her heart, only Xiyuan came to save him, even if Xiyuan was rude, she had to endure it, but now the two parties seemed to be incompatible with each other, and she had a way of turning in the middle room. She couldn't bear these rude and fierce soldiers anymore, and she wished to see them rush to kill. The humiliation along the way was stirring in her chest like a knife. The female official from a wealthy family had lived in the fragrance of brocades since she was a child, and the dirty hands of soldiers were not even worthy of touching her clothes embroidered with blue clouds. Since she was captured by the Li army, she could only bow her head unconditionally to the sword. At this time, there is no longer any fear of life, and all these suppressed hatreds have jumped out.

Unexpectedly, neither Xiyuan nor Fei An responded to her words. The famous general of Chen Guo and the young man from Xia Tang looked at each other coldly from a distance, sparks seemed to sparkle in their eyes. Madam Shuang was even more angry, and stepped forward.

"Go away! This is between me and General Fei." Xi Yuan suddenly turned his head, "He killed our comrade-in-arms, does he have any messy relationship with Mrs. Shuang?"

When Mrs. Shuang saw this young man's murderous eyes, the arrogance and dignity in her heart seemed to be kicked in the middle, and she was immediately broken. She didn't catch up, and heard Fei An laughing in a low voice: "This is a bit interesting. In front of the two armies, if you don't want to die, don't stand too close."

"Let's start!" Xi Yuan whispered.

"One last question to you, I have thought about the answer, handing over the princess, it has nothing to do with you." Fei An looked down at his saber.

Xiyuan didn't hesitate at all: "Don't waste time, I said before, a princess is not a princess, it has nothing to do with me now!"

"It's not like your uncle, he is a scheming old fox," Fei An's lips slowly broke into a smile, he waved his hand suddenly, and shouted sharply, "Front!"

The sword and shield warriors roared in unison and strode forward. When approaching Lu Guichen and Xiyuan, they raised their shields to cover them, rolled sideways and swung their knives. Dozens of long knives swung at the legs of Lu Guichen and Xiyuan at the same time, and there was hardly any space on the ground for their feet. This is Chen Guo's elite "Mowing Knife Array", which is the mortal enemy of Qingqi. Rigorously trained warriors with swords and shields roll into the gaps of the enemy cavalry at an extremely fast speed and chop off horseshoes. This requires extremely high skill and speed. Otherwise, he would be trampled to death in an instant. And almost all of these sword and shield warriors are dead soldiers, because every time the "mowing knife formation" appears on the battlefield, less than half of the sword and shield warriors can return alive. They are only the enemy's light cavalry, but the losses are even heavier.

He jumped up with a sigh of relief. He kicked **** a square shield with both feet, and the warrior holding the shield was held down by him. Before he had time to react, Xi Yuan had already grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands and stabbed at the center of the square shield with all his strength. These square shields need to be carried and swung with one hand. They are not as strong as the iron-cast giant shields of the Chuwei State Mountain Spearmen. They are just made of tough dry cowhide covered with wooden boards. The frontal stabbing of the weapon. The warrior under the shield howled, and Xiyuan jumped up again. He swung his sword and threw the shield stuck on the arrow, and it hit the other warrior's square shield, causing him to take a step back. And the samurai who lost his shield had been pierced through his upper arm.

Lv Guichen watched the cold light of several long knives gather towards his feet, but stood still. He swung Shadow Moon in a circle around him, accurately colliding with those long knives. The sharpness of Shadow Moon was incomparable to those refined long knives, and the heads of three long knives were broken in an instant. In this very short gap, Lu Guichen stepped on the sneak attack behind him, avoiding the attack of the other knives. The sword and shield warriors missed a blow and swung their swords again. However, Lu Guichen had already turned around and waved his long sword in a circle above his head. The sword and shield warriors raised their shields to protect themselves at the same time. Seeing the majesty of that style, they felt that there was a terrible power in it. The whistling sound of the long knife's rotation suddenly changed, and the light of the knife turned into a straight line and flew up obliquely. A sword and shield warrior was stunned for a moment, watching his shield being divided into two equal pieces from the middle.

Fian was taken aback. He didn't really want to kill these two people, his original intention was just to teach these two children who didn't know how to advance or retreat. Xiyuan and Lu Guichen are not Deqiu, they have special identities. But now judging from the martial arts these two young men had exposed, his subordinates were absolutely not sure of catching them without loss. In fact, one of his subordinates had already been seriously injured, and Lu Guichen's long sword strike obviously left room, otherwise the sword and shield warrior's hands would be cut off together.

The sword and shield warriors failed in the first attack, and they retreated at the same time, surrounding Lu Guichen and Xiyuan in groups. Dozens of shields completely blocked them, forming an impenetrable circle.

"Don't waste time! Come on!" Xiyuan waved to the swordsmen around him.

"I'm coming!" Fei Anan took a step expressionlessly.

"You!?" Xiyuan raised his eyebrows.

"I'm coming, which one of you is going to test your hand?" Fei An slowly waved to Xiyuan, which is the etiquette for warriors to try their hands. He looked at Xiyuan and Lu Guichen coldly, as if picking prey.

Xi Yuan just wanted to speak, but Lu Guichen had pushed him aside with his shoulder. Lu Guichen took a step, and the sword and shield warriors made a gap between him and Fei An. Lu Guichen pointed his sword at the ground: "I am willing to try."

"Interesting." Fei An seemed to be looking at the young man with admiration. His sword-holding hand drooped, hidden in the white cloak, only the slightly trembling blade exposed an inch under the cloak. Lu Guichen looked at the blade and knew that it was a thin and flexible sword, a weapon that was difficult to handle. Fei An remained expressionless and pushed forward slowly.

"Young Master Chen..." Xiyuan wanted to step forward, but immediately a sword and shield warrior approached behind him.

"If he will kill me, he will kill you too, what's the fight at this time?" Lu Guichen said in a low voice.

He could only say these words, and he immediately felt that his breathing was being suppressed, but Fei An's slow pace contained an irresistible pressure. Lu Guichen guessed that Fei An would launch his first attack like this, but he had no idea at all. Fean's cloak concealed everything, including the gesture of holding the sword. Lu Guichen nodded slightly, pressed the four fingers of his left hand on the back of the saber and slowly pushed it out, then his body sank, and the five-foot-long Shadow Moon stretched as far as possible between his arms, like an extremely long arrow, His body is a bow.

"Jiye?" Xiyuan was startled.

This is no longer a saber technique, but the spear technique used by Himeno. It is a very sharp attack. You don't have to worry about the enemy's defense and attack, just want to kill it in an instant. Lu Guichen chose a gamble-like tactic simply because he had no opportunity to take advantage of Fei An.

All eyes were on Lu Guichen, and he saw his chest rise and fall slightly.

One breath, in this breath, the bow is full and the arrow is off the string. As soon as Yingyue's blade sank, Lu Guichen followed the blade and shot at Fei An. Yingyue seemed to cheer up, with the most sharp howl, and the howl startled several sword and shield warriors involuntarily took a small step back, as if to defend against something. Fei An also stopped the moment Lu Guichen was breathing. Lu Guichen responded to his approach with strong pressure, which disrupted his rhythm.

If the rhythm is out of order, there is only a thunderbolt.

Fean's sword came out of the cloak like a jumping snake, and the flexible sword suddenly straightened. This sword technique almost completely relied on the dexterity of his wrists. The speed with which he drew the sword from the scabbard was actually faster than ordinary people's direct drawing of the sword. The speed was incomparably faster. The sword turned into a snake and intercepted a certain point between the two of them. The moment Fei An drew his sword, the thrust of the sword was still just the air, but Lu Guichen entered too fast, and when the sword edge arrived, Lu Guichen also arrived.

Shadow Moon exploded again at this time. Lu Guichen calculated the distance, he stepped forward for the first time, and when the blade was about to reach, he could get a second chance to push the ground. Although not as tough as the most direct one-stage assassination, this second-stage assassination is more flexible and changeable.

"Okay!" Xiyuan shouted.

Lu Guichen and Fei An passed by, and Fei An stood with his sword in hand. Lu Guichen stepped on two trails of dust on the ground with both feet, turned around instantly, slid back, and retreated nearly a foot before stopping. He half knelt on the ground, the blade raised.

Fianang looked at his sword, a little blood slowly flowed down the blade.

It was only then that Xiyuan noticed that his sword was actually an extremely flexible stabbing sword, a very rare type of sword. In order to hide his own sword, Fei An waited until the last moment to draw the sword. This swordplay is more like an assassin than a samurai. Lu Guichen panted violently and pressed his arm. His arm was scratched, and he himself didn't realize it until he brushed past Fei An. He lost his fighting power, and Ji Ye's spear skills were not suitable for his physique. When he stabbed, his heart shook like a drum. He was defeated by Fean's sword. He thought that the direction of his sword could block all attacks, and his Shadow Moon was longer than Fean's sword, and had an advantage in distance. But Fei An's stabbing sword suddenly bent, circumventing Yingyue's blockade and scratching Lu Guichen's shoulder. The fierce knife cut also lost its target at the last moment.

"Next?" Fei An approached Lu Guichen, pointed his sword at the back of his neck, and turned to look at Xiyuan.

"Next!" someone yelled.

Fei An's body shook, and he had already identified the voice. He felt a little regretful, he brought too few people, didn't leave anyone outside for defense, and didn't pay attention to the movement outside during the battle.

Fei An's face became even more gloomy. He didn't want to expose his sword because East Lu warriors looked down on assassins the most. All the Big Dipper stars represent warriors, and only one small star "Auxiliary", which is imperceptible to the naked eye, represents an assassin. Assassins are far inferior to warriors in terms of status and status, except that their assassination skills are extremely terrifying, and they are far inferior to warriors who learn horse martial arts when they go into battle. However, Fei An's use of assassin-like martial arts in his capacity as a general will inevitably make people like Cheng Kui look down upon him. But he quickly calmed down, smiled coldly, and did not look back at the door: "General Cheng Kui, your horse charges like a thunderbolt, but your steps here are as light as a cat's." .”

All eyes turned to the door, where a tall and burly man stood alone. Cheng Kui, the commander of the Chunguo Wind Tiger Cavalry Army, held a saber and lit a torch, looked around the crowd, but looked straight at Fei An.

The earth wall between the other two storeys vibrated, making a loud noise. Everyone's faces were full of surprise, only Fei An and Cheng Kui looked at each other expressionlessly, like two knives against the blade. The bangs continued, the dust filled the air, the soil peeled off, and finally a black hammer pierced through the soil wall, which was immediately enlarged into a huge gap.

Seeing from the gap, dozens of Wind Tiger cavalry were lined up. They all held exquisite cavalry crossbows. They squatted in the front row and stood in the back row. Fei An's face was slightly flushed, his number was about the same as Cheng Kui's, but the opponent had already lined up the crossbow array, so he was at a disadvantage. He thought Cheng Kui was a reckless man, and he never valued it, but this time Cheng Kui didn't even give him a chance to prepare for the challenge.

Fei An looked at the jet-black iron light of those crossbow bolts under the torches, and thought of the poison quenching technology that Chunguo Fenghu was so proud of. He nodded slightly, and hid the saber in the cloak again.

Cheng Kui twisted his face, moved the muscles on his face, and stepped forward steadily step by step. He ordered his men to set up a crossbow formation, and then ordered the wrestlers carrying iron hammers to break through the wall, so Fei An didn't even have a chance to intercept him at the door. Fei An had no choice but to accept his conditions, and he never doubted it. At this moment, he just wanted to take this opportunity to challenge Fei An's pride.

"General Cheng didn't ride a horse, but ran to this dark place to watch the battle with Fenghu on foot," Fei An smiled, "It's my honor."

"We can still kill people without being on horseback. General Fei wants to try?" Cheng Kui didn't budge.

"It seems that General Cheng is not ready to have a serious talk with me."

"It is said that Chen Guofei'an is smart enough and ruthless enough. General Fei knows what our country wants. There is no need for a rough person like me to explain. General Fei killed dozens of people outside, leaving the ground full Even if I, Cheng Kui, are a fool, I would know that the situation is not harmonious. I don’t expect General Fei to be kind to me.”

"They all come to want the princess," Fei An sneered, "but Ying Wuyi doesn't want it, and retreated after leaving these women behind."

"Everyone knows what it is for. We are marching and fighting, not those chattering literati in the court, so we don't need to waste our words, right?" Cheng Kui said loudly.

"No way, it's easy to say," Fei An said, "There are three families here to welcome you, and no one is willing to back down, so how about sharing a point?"

"Score?" Cheng Kui was stunned.

Fei An suddenly moved. No one dared to imagine that he, a leading general, would actually do it himself. He rushed straight to the little princess, Xiyuan wanted to stop him, but was trapped by sword and shield warriors. He could only watch helplessly as Fei An stabbed out with a sword, pointing directly at the little princess' forehead.

The sword's edge stopped suddenly in front of the forehead, and with only one movement of Fei'an's wrist, the little princess turned into a pile of corpses. Fei An smiled coldly, then turned to look at Cheng Kui again. Mrs. Shuang stared blankly at all this, her legs went limp and she passed out on the ground.

"A princess, so many families want her, so let's divide her?" Fei An said quietly, "Who wants the head? Who wants the hand?"

"Fei An, you crazy dog!" Cheng Kui roared. But he was shocked, remembering that Fei An used corpse poison to kill people in Wuhe City, Fei An was an unscrupulous person.

"General Cheng, it is indeed difficult for our army to take advantage of your crossbow movement now. However, if I move my sword, you may be able to shoot me to death, but there is no guarantee that I will not accidentally injure Her Royal Highness with a trembling hand. In this way, what you want So what if you kill me?" Fei An sneered, as if he was laughing happily, "Haven't it occurred to you that if you take food from someone else's mouth, they might rather destroy it than give it to you?"

"You dare to hurt the princess, even if you leave here alive, you will die!" Xiyuan roared.

Fei An shook his head and chuckled: "Then you have to say the same thing to General Cheng. If the princess dies here, General Cheng's military future will also be ruined here!"

Everyone fell silent. Cheng Kui pressed the handle of the knife at his waist, the veins in his hands were exposed, but he dared not move. Fei An was either a rogue or a madman, but he was right. His crossbow formation would not have the advantage, and if Fei An was forced to make a real move, it would drag everyone into a deadlock. His heart moved, and he stared at the girl who was too dazed to speak. He vaguely felt that Fei An knew far more than he did. He knew that the little princess was important, but he didn't know how important she was.

"Hehe, it doesn't mean that General Cheng will let us take the little princess away." Fei An laughed again, "That would mean forcing General Cheng to do something. Why don't we bet against each other and resign ourselves to fate."

"Bet against each other?" Cheng Kui asked.

"General Cheng ordered your subordinates to throw away the hand crossbows, and I let go of the princess. The two of us are equal in number, so we will fight here once. Whoever wins the fight will win the princess. The other family is willing to bet and admit defeat." An squinted his eyes, and the fierce light in his eyes condensed, as if they were shining brightly.

The sword and shield warriors began to move slowly, erecting their shields to defend against the crossbow array. As long as Cheng Kui gave an order, he could stop this formation from forming, but his lips were tight and he didn't speak for a long time. The formation of Chen Guo's sword and shield warriors was finally completed. At this time, Chun's cavalry and crossbows could no longer pose any threat. The shields in front of the formation were enough to help the sword and shield warriors resist the attacks of crossbows and arrows.

"General Cheng is a man of sense." Fei An withdrew his sword.

Cheng Kui waved his hand, and the wind tigers threw down their cavalry crossbows and drew out their sabers at their waists. The saber is now the most convenient weapon for fighting.

The two sides approached slowly, and the warehouse only heard the rustling of combat boots. Xiyuan went up to help Lu Guichen up, and quickly retreated towards the wall.

"Bai Yi said it's hard to say whether we will be friends or enemies after this war, but now it seems that he is really a smart man." Fei An said with a smile.

Xiyuan heard a roar from behind, and the wind tigers and sword and shield warriors rushed towards each other, brandishing their swords. Hundreds of people were massacred, blood splashed everywhere, the warehouse was full of roars and wailing, people fell down again and again, and the living trampled on the corpses of the dead. Chen Jun is equipped with a shield, which should have taken advantage of infantry combat, but the elite Fenghus slashed with their knives in both hands, and the damage caused by hitting the target was greater than the one-handed knives of the sword and shield warriors. In this way, soldiers with minor injuries are even more vicious.

Lu Guichen's breathing calmed down, he looked around, looking for a better hiding place. He saw the little princess sitting against the wall in horror, watching the **** battlefield, with tears streaming down her face silently. His heart moved, and he wanted to move over quietly, but was held back by Xiyuan. Lu Guichen understood what Xiyuan meant, and now that he approached the little princess, he could only alert the two parties in the deadly battle, or kill them together. With the strength of the two of them, but relying on this wall to defend, they can't do anything.

Lu Guichen could only watch the little princess cry, and suddenly thought of Suma, and that night when the crescent moon was like a hook. His heart twitched, aching. He yelled: "Cover her face!"

Among the maids accompanying the princess, the girl in the green dress suddenly realized that she tore off a piece of her skirt and covered the face of the little princess. She had just finished all this when suddenly something fell into her arms, and hot liquid spilled all over her face. Then she saw clearly that it was a forearm that had just been cut off, and her fingers seemed to be still twitching slightly. She stayed there for a while, then suddenly let out a terrified howl. Then she jumped up and ran out desperately. The other maidservants also came to their senses from the extreme fear. The thought of running away overwhelmed their reason and shame. They didn't care about their clothes or their swords and swords, and stumbled out like crazy.

"Don't run!" Xiyuan was taken aback, jumped up and shouted loudly.

But no one listened to him, these women didn't believe anyone at this time, they just fled desperately. The only thing in their consciousness is the distance from the door.

The maid in the green dress didn't escape very far. She stepped on a dead body and fell. Fei An and Cheng Kui had already faced each other, and the saber and saber clashed wide open and closed. Fei An's mysterious stabbing sword had already been seen by Cheng Kui once, so it was difficult to have the effect of a sneak attack. The two sides could only fight head-on, and the blade of the sword was full of scars. Fei An held the sword in his backhand, blocking Cheng Kui's leap and slash. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the maid in the green dress lying at his feet, not daring to raise her head, trembling like a lamb in the cold wind. Her blouse was torn, revealing her clean back, which was soft and fair, with a few spots of blood on it that were delicately red.

Cheng Kui took a step back, holding a knife on guard. Fei An glanced at the maid, smiled coldly, and stabbed down with his sword. The edge of the sword pierced through the back and protruded from the chest. Fei An pulled out the sword, and blood spurted out like a dark red mist.

"I'll kill this one, and it will be given to me. General Cheng, you can choose one." Fei An looked at the hot blood flowing on his sword with a gloomy look.

"Fei An, what do you want to play with me?" Cheng Kui's eyes were bloodshot. He killed blood welling up in his head, watching the people around him fall down one by one, without any scruples.

Fei An suddenly mentioned the maid's body and threw it at Cheng Kui. Cheng Kui was taken aback, and moved a little slower, so he could only swing the knife with all his strength. The maid's frail body was cut open in the middle with a single knife, thick blood splashed in the air, and Fei An's saber had already pierced Cheng Kui's eyebrows. Cheng Kui's saber could no longer be retracted, so he could only lean back, avoiding the fatal blow. Fei An's sword followed and chopped down, hitting Cheng Kui's breastplate. Fei An's saber was thin and soft, and Cheng Kui avoided the crisis of having his chest cracked by relying on the light steel armor that was the best in Fenghu. He rolled on the ground, avoiding Fean's further pursuit, and looked down, the battle suit on his chest was split, revealing the scales of the forged steel armor.

"If you win the battlefield, you can't be afraid of the tail. General Cheng, show your murderous aura!" Fei An's smile was indifferent and ferocious.

Cheng Kuixi opened his mouth, gasping for breath. He stared at his saber with blood-red eyes, and then fixedly stared at Fei An who was slowly approaching with the sword. He shouted loudly, and swung his knife violently!

The knife did not strike at Fei An, but chopped down a maid running past him from the center of his chest. The maid's body fell under Cheng Kui's feet, pressing down on his combat boots, and Cheng Kui kicked them away without thinking. He roared and rushed towards Fean with his knife in hand, leaped up and made a heavy chop with the weight of his whole body. Fei An blocked it with his horizontal sword, but was pushed back by the blow, and the saber was bent from the place close to the hilt. This kind of thin sword made of fine steel tempered many times to remove charcoal is extremely flexible, even if it is bent into a circle, it can be straightened, but it is completely useless under the huge force of this blow.

Fian glanced at his saber, and nodded in appreciation. He threw the sword at Cheng Kui, blocked it for a moment, bent down and picked up a saber on the ground. Cheng Kui pounced on again, and the two weapons splashed bright sparks in the block, making a piercing sound, like the howling of dying metal.

"That one is mine!" Cheng Kui growled and waved his knife, "Fei An, you want to play a game of killing until only one person stands?"

"Maybe no one can stand! Isn't it like this on the battlefield? General Cheng, do you want me to say that you are too young? No wonder you are the last one to follow Hua Ye's horse all your life. Boy!" Fei An shouted with a chilling laugh.

The battle in the warehouse turned into a massacre. Lu Guichen stood there dumbfounded, watching the women's blood splash in the air, they failed to pass through the cluster of strangling knives. Feng Hu and the sword and shield warriors were already red-eyed. They were as irritable as wild beasts. They chopped down the woman who was about to run past them with a single knife, and then pounced on their opponents again. Lu Guichen watched a Fenghu swing his saber casually, and a running woman was cut in two. Her body was still running, blood welled up, and her beautiful head had already fallen to the ground.

"Mommy..." He said it unconsciously, it was a groan pressed deep in his throat.

He pressed his head hard, and felt that something inside was struggling to jump out. He returned to the Iron Line River under the night sky again, and the young woman wrapped him in a blanket and ran away with him in her arms. At that time, he was still a small child, looking through the gaps in the felt, he saw his uncle's army lighting torches in the distance, and the hooves of the horses shook the sky. They fled desperately, and behind them was a fiery snake that devoured everything.

They were eventually overtaken and devoured, and only he survived.

A kind of overwhelming anger suddenly occupied his heart, Lu Guichen straightened up abruptly! Xiyuan saw that his friend suddenly seemed to be a different person. The murderous aura in Lu Guichen's eyes was as strong as it could be turned into substance, and his face twitched slightly. He pressed Shadow Moon's knife handle, breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling.

"Young Master Chen!" Xiyuan grabbed his arm, "Rushing in is equivalent to death!"

"But what to do?" Lu Guichen stared blankly at Xiyuan, "But what to do? They are killing people..."

Xiyuan didn't know how to answer, so he could only press his friend's shoulders with both hands.

There was a slight cry, and Lu Guichen's body shook slightly. He looked in the direction where the crying sound came from, it was the little princess covered in a skirt. She stood there dumbfounded, all in white, her shoulders shrugged and weeping. There was no one left beside her, and a dozen or so steps away from her was a group of slashing and killing warriors. Lu Guichen froze for a moment, the turbulent anger suddenly subsided a lot, and he vaguely felt familiar. On that **** night, there was once a boy in white standing numbly, watching those beast-like warriors pounced on him. On the body of Haruntie.

Lu Guichen couldn't remember clearly what he was thinking that night, he didn't dare to think about it. Probably there is a kind of pain and anger as if the world is being torn apart. Maybe with a saber in hand, he will rush to kill all those soldiers.

"Kill them all," said a voice in his mind, "Yes, that's right!"

Now he has a knife in his hand, but he can't protect the woman named Haruntie.

"She's dead," the same voice said in his heart, "Yes, she's dead!"

A huge sense of powerlessness enveloped him, and for a moment he could hardly hold the knife. The little princess wept softly. Those who survived on the battlefield roared and slashed.

"I'll go over and take her out!" Lu Guichen said suddenly, "You meet me!"

Xiyuan was silent for a moment, looked at the door of the warehouse and the hole that was smashed out, and nodded: "Okay, maybe there is a chance. But hurry up!"

Lu Guichen took a deep breath and gripped the handle of the knife tightly. Xiyuan moved silently, and began to choose a location. Visually, he felt that the distance from the position of the little princess to the door of the warehouse was about twenty feet. With him and Lu Guichen, they can rush there with one effort. But there will undoubtedly be someone who wakes up and chases after him, and should intercept it halfway. Then, he saw the cavalry crossbow on the ground. There was a hint of excitement in his heart. There were still arrows buckled on those exquisite crossbows, as long as he rushed there, he could shoot continuously without reloading. The time gained in this way may be enough for Lu Guichen to crawl out with the little princess. Everything will be fine once you climb out of here, this closed place seems to make everyone impulsive or even crazy.

"Hurry up!" Xi Yuan whispered.

"Okay!" Lu Guichen kicked the ground and shot out like an arrow.

Xiyuan ran wildly towards the pile of crossbows.

Lu Guichen came to the little princess's side almost without encountering any obstacles, and hugged her in his arms. He let out the breath he was holding in his lungs, and patted the little girl: "Don't be afraid."

He took a deep breath again and turned his head to find the location of Xiyuan. At this time, he saw the saber whizzing towards him, and a Fenghu who was fighting felt his movement, and chased him. Without hesitation, Lu Guichen stabbed the knife with his backhand. His strength was already insufficient, but Yingyue was a formidable sharp weapon after all, he aimed the blade at the attacking Fenghu, and the four-foot-long blade shone brightly. If Fenghu didn't stop and hit him hard, a stationary blade could cut off his weapon and body.

The wind tiger really bumped into Yingyue's blade, not with a saber, but with his body. He didn't stop at all, and threw himself on the blade, and was cut into the face by the blade. Lu Guichen was surprised when he saw the Chen Guo sword and shield warrior rushing towards him. Judging from his clothes, he was a Chen Guo Xiaowei with a high rank. He followed behind Feng Hu and slashed at Feng Hu's vest. Fenghu's life.

Lieutenant Chen Guo kicked Lu Guichen **** the shoulder when Lu Guichen had no time to draw his sword, and kicked Lu Guichen a few steps away. At the same time, he grabbed the little princess tightly in his arms. He took a step without hesitation, swung his knife and slashed at the top of Lu Guichen's head.

Lu Guichen had no way to dodge. At this time, a figure slammed out from the side and hit the captain's waist, knocking him back a step. The man stabbed the captain's neck with his finger, her thin fingertips were used as a weapon, and the captain almost suffocated. But Lieutenant Chen Guo's military uniform has a neck guard made of steel rings, which can't be pierced by fingers. The man's fingers were dripping with blood, but he didn't know the pain and refused to stop.

Lu Guichen saw clearly that it was the woman named Ye Lihong. When the maidservants ran away, she was the only one who curled up in a corner and did not move.

The captain let out a low growl, raised his knee, and slammed into Ye Lihong's belly hard, knocking her out. He stepped forward and swung the knife, this time aiming at the woman. Lu Guichen was already powerless to rush forward to stop him, so he could only watch the knife fall. He was surprised to see the woman facing the blade with no fear expression, she was so quiet, and the light of the blade shone in her black pupils. It's hard to tell if that look is stubbornness or waiting for death, it just makes people feel cold.

Arrows whistled from behind him. The captain turned his head in shock and saw a silver-gray light.

The light came so fast, it was so bright that it could blind people's eyes, and it was impossible to see what it was. The lieutenant stayed where he was, the light accurately hit his saber, and bounced off. What fell on the ground was a silver-gray feathered arrow. The captain seemed to be woken up by a basin of cold water, and looked at his knife tremblingly. The arrow left a cracked scar on the knife, and his knife roared uncontrollably, as if controlled by some force. The scars expanded rapidly, and the cracks spread on the blade as if growing rapidly, and then suddenly there was a "bang", and the sword made of fine steel shattered into a group of fragments!

"General Cheng, General Fei, we are still allies now, can you two stop?" A voice came from outside.

"Xi Yan?" Cheng Kui was shocked.

Everyone on the battlefield stops and jumps away.

Fei An's face changed, and he turned to the entrance, and saw Bai Yi and Xi Yan stepping into the inner warehouse successively under the light of two torches. Bai Yi's face was cold as if covered with severe frost, he looked around, and finally looked straight at the little princess who was hugged tightly by the school captain, Xi Yan silently looked at the dozens of corpses on the ground, and let out a long sigh.

"Even if it's bandit fire, it shouldn't be like this, it's over." Xi Yan said in a low voice.

He shook his head slightly and walked forward slowly. The people on both sides made a way for him in fear, and no one dared to stop him. Although he didn't have any entourage, Xi Yan was the only famous infantry fighter in East Lu, and behind him, Bai Yi stood quietly. At the door, he didn't move a lot after he walked in. He kept his head down, looking at the land three feet in front of him, holding the silver-gray horn bow in one hand, and the silver-gray arrow feathers in the quiver with the other.

And the power of that arrow was seen by everyone present.

Xi Yan walked up to the captain who was holding the little princess in his arms, and looked at him silently. The captain was terrified and backed away in small steps.

Fei An's pupils shrank suddenly, and Xi Yan had already drawn his sword!

Most of the people present have never seen Xi Yan draw the sword. It seemed that it was just a slight shock of the shoulders, and Gu Jian Jingyue had already moved towards the captain with a smoothness like cold water. No one can imagine such a sword technique, moving at an extremely close distance, incredibly fast, yet making no sound at all. The captain returned the knife to block it. With a low cry, the knife he erected cut with Jingyue's blade. For a moment, the captain was a little surprised. He blocked the sword of the famous master in Dong Lu's first battle, and the weapon in his hand was a heavy knife with a thick back and a wide body. The back of the knife was extremely tough. It's just a sword. The thin blades of the weapons cut each other, and the sword is not as beneficial as the heavy knife, and it is very likely to break. The captain roared hastily, holding the knife in one hand and pushed it out with all his strength, trying to push Xi Yan back.

Things were not as he had imagined. Under the eyes of everyone present, Xi Yan's saber effortlessly cut through the heavy knife in the captain's hand. The knife made of grained steel was like paper. Qualitative. Xi Yanjian swiped, but it was as light as cutting paper.

Xi Yan's sword paused, and slashed towards the captain's face.

The captain threw the princess and the dagger into the sky in horror, and covered his face tightly with both hands. Under this sword, he didn't even have the confidence to fight back and dodge. Xi Yan's sword kept flashing in the air continuously. The little princess fell lightly into Xi Yan's arms, and the fragments of the knife fell to the ground one after another. No one could see how many times Xi Yan swiped in the air, and the biggest debris that landed was no more than the length of a palm.

Xi Yan's sword has returned to its scabbard. With his free hand, he pulled away the hand of Captain Chen Guo protecting the front door, and threw a series of slaps across the face. The school lieutenant swung his head left and right like a fool, unable to dodge at all. When Xi Yan stopped, his head was already swollen like a bright red pig's head.

Xi Yan didn't even look at him, and wiped his hands on his battle clothes: "I can't slap some people, so I can only slap you. Princess Xiaozhou is my distinguished guest in the Tang Dynasty, can you touch it?" ?”

He lowered his head and glanced at Lu Guichen, who was panting on the ground: "Only a noble person like Prince Qingyang is the right person to welcome the princess. Bring the arrow for General Bai, and the arrow of General Bai It's valuable, and it's not easy to match it if you lose it."

Lv Guichen saw Xi Yan showing him a faint smile, and knew it was appreciation and encouragement. He nodded vigorously, picked up the silver-gray arrow, pulled out Yingyue, stood up, and stood behind Xi Yan.

"Master Ye Zhengshu's daughter?" Xi Yan glanced at Ye Lihong, "We have seen just now that although Master Ye serves Ying Wuyi, there is a woman who is so loyal and brave, who will never leave her to serve the princess. Saved my student. It can be seen how difficult it is to distinguish between the enemy and us in the world. Miss Ye, come with us."

Lu Guichen stepped forward to help Ye Lihong up, but felt that her body was cold and trembling slightly. Ye Lihong bowed her head and saluted, she was still hugging Lu Guichen's beige battle suit, covering her bare chest.

"His Royal Highness, I am going to Xiyan of the Tang Dynasty. It is too late to save you." Xi Yan patted the girl in his arms, but did not untie the skirt on her head.

The little princess didn't speak, her body trembled slightly, she must be still sobbing silently.

"These people are not good. They don't care about the car that greets the princess. They only know how to fight and kill. We don't care about them." Xi Yan looked around the crowd and smiled, as if coaxing a child, "Come on, since there is no car, Just ask the princess to sit on the shoulders of the servants, and the servants will be the carriage for the princess."

He lifted the princess, let her sit on his broad shoulder armor, and walked out slowly. Wherever he went, everyone avoided him. Xi Yan looked around coldly, but there was always a smile on his face. The scabbard of the ancient sword Jingyue hit his leg armor, and the dull sound made people terrified.

When he passed the pile of crossbows, he stopped and glanced at the shafts holding a cavalry crossbow in each hand. Xiyuan knelt in the crossbow all over the ground, panting heavily.

"Throw away their things." Xi Yan said lightly.

Xiyuan stood up and saluted his uncle. But he didn't follow immediately, and picked up De Qiu's head in the corner. He took off his battle clothes, wrapped the head, and held it in his arms. Xi Yan watched him do all this and nodded slightly.

"Perhaps he was a general..." Xi Yuan whispered.

"Many people could have been generals..." Xi Yan sighed when he said this.

Bai Yi retreated expressionlessly, always facing Fei An, and the group retreated slowly.

"Xi Yan, what is this?" Fei An asked suddenly.

"General Fei, do you even want to kill me and General Bai?" Xi Yan didn't look back, and smiled coldly, "But killing me and Bai Yi, I'm afraid it won't end well? You You are an unscrupulous person, and you will use everything to the extreme, but since I came here, you have nothing to do. Why don't you accept your fate? If you have the strength, go back and talk to the person who asked you to fight for the princess, let him Don't be too impatient. Although I don't know who he is, the important affairs of the country are not just tied to a little girl. If you don't even understand this, you should go back to your hometown to farm as soon as possible."

He went out without looking back.

Xi Yan was the first to emerge from the wellhead, facing Gu Yueyi, a famous general from northern Shanxi in a white battle suit. Hundreds of white war horses surrounded the mouth of the well, and the archers of the Izumo Cavalry Army pointed their bows and arrows at the mouth of the well from all directions. As long as Gu Yueyi gave an order, no one could escape being shot into a hedgehog.

Xi Yan didn't show any expression, she just stepped forward to greet Gu Yueyi. On the contrary, Gu Yueyi seemed a little restrained, and waved his hand to order the cavalry and archers to withdraw their bows and arrows. Then came up Bai Yi, Lu Guichen, Ye Lihong and Xiyuan who was carrying the little princess on his back. Xi Yan looked around, and there were hundreds of black-clothed corpses piled up at the feet of the Izumo Cavalry Army. They were all the killed Xia Tang Army, and the blood was splashed on the ground.

"General Gu is also here to welcome Princess Xiaozhou?" Xi Yan looked into Gu Yueyi's eyes and asked directly.

"Don't dare to hide it, Yueyi really came here for the princess, it's not something aboveboard. Before leaving, the lord ordered that Princess Xiaozhou..." Gu Yueyi glanced at Bai Yi's expression at this point , "Princess Xiaozhou has a very high status. If she is used by others, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to our country. Therefore, if you should first welcome the princess to our camp for protection, wait for the opportunity to **** her to the imperial capital."

He shook his head here, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "But this is also an excuse, it is for the benefit of our country. The two generals are laughing."

Bai Yi was expressionless: "General Xi has 150 people, all dead, Fei An brought 300 people, Cheng Kui also brought 300 people, and they are still below. The bird is behind, and now General Gu has no fewer than five hundred men, taking advantage of the strength and geographical advantage, what is the plan of General Gu?"

Gu Yueyi sighed slightly: "I know that my behavior has made General Bai despise it. It's a pity that I am a subject, and I have to obey the emperor's orders. But before leaving, the Lord said that if it is necessary He said that he fought side by side with the two generals in Akiba Mountain City many years ago, and he misses it in his heart."

Xi Yan smiled: "Jin Marquis Lei Qianye is really a white tiger in the north, and his bearing is heart-wrenching. Thank him for the porcelain he gave back then. I haven't been able to thank him in person for so many years."

"Well, is there any moon clothes that can serve the two generals?"

"If you can ask General Gu to stay here for a moment, I will be very grateful when I arrange people to come over to clean up the bones of these dead." Xi Yan sighed lowly.

"Receive the general's order." Gu Yueyi pressed the handle of the saber and replied in a deep voice.

Bai Yi and Xi Yan got on their horses respectively, Lu Guichen led Ye Lihong, Xiyuan hugged the little princess, and the Izumo Cavalry made way for them to leave. After walking a few steps, suddenly there was a slight but shrill cry coming from the well, which echoed endlessly in the well and never ceased. Lu Guichen thought of the dozens of soldiers and women in ragged clothes who were still facing each other with their swords drawn, and knew in his heart that it would never be a good thing, so he couldn't bear it, so he took a step back.

Xi Yan gave him a hand: "Young Master Chen, don't look back. At this time, there are some things that we can't do."
