Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 862
At the northernmost end of the Great Wall of Eternal Night, it is not uncommon to hear wolves howling in the middle of the night.

The autumn wind is getting colder and colder, and the night watchmen on the Great Wall are getting more and more unable to hold on at night.Before the third watch, all the soldiers were curled up by the fire.Even if someone got up, he was unwilling to move and look at another person.

"Lieutenant Li? Is it convenient to go?" Hearing the sound of footsteps, the veteran standing guard at the stairs raised his head tremblingly, looked at the thin figure in front of him, but retracted his head instantly in relief.

If in the past he would have asked a few more questions, but these two days everyone knows that this thin captain has made meritorious service recently, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes a popular person in front of the general. Dare to find something about him.

Hearing the veteran's question, the thin captain nodded while dragging his ill-fitting armor.

"Okay, captain, go and come back quickly, don't freeze to death outside..." The old soldier shrank his head back into the dog fur hat, muttering, "It's not even November yet..."

The thin captain stood quietly, stepped down from the beacon tower, and walked towards the endless wall of the Great Wall.

If the night watchmen still had animal skins to keep out the cold, the life of the men who were responsible for repairing the city wall at the corner was even more difficult.The men who build the Great Wall are generally criminals or prisoners sent to this bitter cold place. Everyone only has some linen sheets and straw to keep out the cold. There are not enough shacks, so priority is given to the elderly. The young and strong sleep together under the corner of the city. .

After working hard during the day, even under the cold corner, there are still snoring sounds one after another.The thin captain just walked past the sleeping men in a pile with a blank face.

But when she walked to the distant forest, there was already a tall figure behind her.

"What's the matter with you?" He was still wearing a prison uniform, which showed his low status. The man usually hunched over while carrying bricks. Only when he straightened up at this time did he find that he was taller than ordinary people, tall and strong.

A wolf howled again in the distance, and the man looked at the thin figure in front of him and frowned, "When I heard a wolf howl, do you think of her again?"

"Then how many times a year do I have to think about it?" The thin figure turned around and glanced at him from bottom to top.

"I just had a dream, and I suddenly remembered something." The skinny captain frowned under his helmet, "By the way, it has been more than a year since Heifeng ran away from third brother?"

"Well," the man nodded, with a helpless expression, "The third brother is doing business well, but feeding horses is really not good."

"That's no fault of the third brother," the soldier frowned. "It's a war horse. It's kept in the yard and fed three times a day. It can't be tolerated by humans...even horses."

"I can't help it," the farmer sighed, "The horse didn't listen to the third brother, and ran away after being released. You know the third brother, he is reluctant to let him go and lock him with an iron chain. As a result, the hemp rope that was as big as the mouth of the bowl was broken."

"It's kind and righteous for the horse to accompany the third brother for six years. It's more free for it. After all, we can't support it." The young captain sighed.

All of them knew that the wild and unruly horse only listened to one person in the whole world.

"It's just that I'm worried that it will just run out like this. With its temperament, it will become horse meat in other people's pots." The captain sighed heavily.

"Ordinary people can't catch it at its speed," said the man with a delicate expression, "as long as it doesn't hook up with the mares on the side of the road."

"I heard from the third brother that the day after it ran away, his cubs also ran away a lot, but fortunately, it has so many cubs that it doesn't affect anything."

"This..." the thin captain held his forehead, "The general should have slapped it back then!"

Hearing this, the man's shoulders trembled slightly, and he lowered his head and looked carefully at the person in front of him, "But if it wasn't because it was so unruly and kicked several geldings, it wouldn't have fallen into the hands of the general back then." .”

Whether it's soldiers, weapons, or horses, the little girl who just came to the Great Wall of Eternal Night couldn't get any good ones.

Horses on the battlefield are all gelding. Although the horse was a thousand-mile horse back then, it didn't even have the qualifications to be a military horse.Due to such a mistake, it fell into the hands of the girl who was also not qualified to be a soldier in the eyes of everyone.

One person and one horse stayed together for seven years.

"By the way," the tall man glanced at the person in front of him, "I heard from my third brother that the last time I heard from Heifeng was in Soochow."

"Third Brother and that person informed, and that person has ordered that horses are not allowed to be killed in Soochow."

Hearing the word Soochow, a pair of eyes in the cold armor flickered under the moonlight.

"What's the use of that?" The next moment the thin captain said coldly, "It's just a horse, and no one in the city will really follow the orders from the top."

"Then Heifeng can only ask for good luck."

The tall man mourned for a certain Soochow person in his heart, and then looked up at the moon.

"But I'm envious of it right now," the man said indifferently, "Is Soochow's middle-level ceremony about to start?"

"I wonder if it can meet that special leader?"

……

……

In front of the rear city gate of Weicheng in the Eastern Wu Dynasty, the scene at this time was quite strange.

"Heifengtou?"

Accompanied by the girl's probing, Ji Jiashu saw that the big eyes of the old horse that was not afraid of wolves opened round, and the next moment it raised its hooves, and the back, which was as tall as two people, turned towards Ying Baoyue rushed forward, startling Ji Jiashu.

But before he could move the sword, the girl turned her body and dodged lightly, as if she was accustomed to such movements, and the next moment she turned around and grabbed the dead rope on the horse.

The horse, which was still moving and jumping, became honest in an instant.

The stiff rope was still new. When Ji Jiashu bought it back, the stiff rope on his body had been torn to pieces long ago.

"That's great, who tied it up for you?" Ying Baoyue laughed, "It's really capable."

"It's me." A young boy's gentle voice sounded beside him, Ying Baoyue was slightly startled, and looked to her side.Ji Jiashu threw out his sword and overturned the killer who was chasing after him, and looked back at her, "This is the ownerless horse I bought this morning, do you know it?"

Ying Baoyue was stunned again, looking at the welt marks on the horse, her eyes were a little hot, but she smiled.

"Well, I know him. He's an old horse from the former Qin Dynasty."

"That's good," Ji Jiashu laughed as there were enemies at the front and back, and what Song Qian said rang in his mind.

But at this moment, the old horse that no one could ride lowered its head, grabbed Ying Baoyue's sleeve with its mouth, and seemed to want to pull her up on its back.

BMW presents heroes.

There is nothing wrong with this sentence.

Ji Jiashu smiled and looked at the girl, "Aren't you going to get on the horse?"

Among the wolves, Ying Baoyue took a deep breath and got on his horse.

The moonlight was bright for a moment, and Ji Jiashu was also in a trance for a moment, as if he saw a very important scene.

But at this moment, the black horse under her raised its head and screamed, and suddenly Chen Zichu's scream came from the city gate again.

"horse!"

"It's all horses!"

Ji Jiashu turned his head and stared wide-eyed, staring blankly at the incredible scene in front of him.

In the wilderness outside the city, horseshoes sounded from all directions, and a dozen wild horses rushed out of the forest, surpassing the wolves and heading towards them.

"Thirty years of fame and dust and soil, eight thousand miles of cloud and moon."

"Jiashu," the boy turned his head in a daze, and looked at the girl Yu Ma stretched out her hand to him with a smile.

"Let's go to Ruyang together!"
