Chapter 140 Nightmare
The two soldiers quickly got up and pressed the castle owner to the ground.

Xie Yuan was anxious, and asked in a cold voice: "After the death of the Southwest King, the court ordered that the surrender should not be prosecuted. Why didn't you surrender? Could it be that you are guarding a broken castle and still want to be the emperor?"

The owner of the castle knew that Xie Yuan had just issued an order to surrender and not to kill, so he was confident and sneered and said:
"It's a joke, a man who doesn't want to be an emperor, dare you say you don't want to?...But I didn't even want to go to the capital, I just wanted to be a little king in this wilderness border, why, no?"

The surrounding fire was soaring, some people were putting out the fire, some people were crying, and some people were injured and howling in pain.

And this person in front of him, a young general with few troops, even if he lost, he didn't feel it, and he was still dreaming his own dream with confidence.

It's just that this beautiful dream needs other people's lives to fill it.

Xie Yuan found it ridiculous, and didn't understand why so many people overestimated their capabilities, clearly without the slightest strength or possibility, but dreamed dreams that were beyond their reach.

If it's just consuming your own life and energy, then why drag so many innocent people to fight the fire?

Xie Yuan pursed his lips, and asked angrily: "You know that 'the right is more helpful than the wrong?'"

The castle owner straightened his neck and said, "I don't know, what's wrong?"

"Hmph, you disregarded the lives of your subordinates for your own selfishness, and you still want to be emperor? You are also worthy of being a bandit leader in the bunker to show off your power!...Drag away!"

Those captives were all escorted outside the bunker, and according to the orders of their superiors, they would be escorted directly to the barracks as coolies.

When these men were taken away by the soldiers, their wives and children cried out inseparably.And those with dull expressions looked at Xie Yuan with hatred and unwillingness on their faces.

An indescribable sense of powerlessness rose in Xie Yuan's heart. She looked up at the surrounding environment, and saw that there were still a few places where thick smoke was still rising.

Turning his head to Ke Sande and the others, he said, "Go and help put out the fire, the remaining old and weak will have to live."

"Okay." Kesande led his team to receive the order.

……

That night, Xie Yuan had a dream, maybe during the day, the battle he fought was too exciting.

Although she didn't feel scared at the time, at night, she returned to the open space outside the castle.

From standing under those dark holes, there are arrows shooting towards her everywhere, she can't stop, not for a moment, dodging left and right, constantly changing the trajectory, and at the same time, she has to see all directions and hear all directions .

Occasionally, she was too late to touch an arrow, and it stuck on her wooden armor. The point of the arrow pierced through the wooden armor and pierced a little bit of her skin. It hurt a little, but she couldn't relax, she had to concentrate on it for a moment. Neither can relax.

The arrows that fell on the ground spread all over the ground like grass poles, and there were other cavalrymen beside her, moving around under the dense rain of arrows, looking for opportunities to shoot the ignited arrows into the entrance of the cave among.

A man's horse was hit by an arrow and fell down with a neigh. Soon, that man had no time to dodge, and was also shot into a sieve.

Xie Yuan had been looking at the target all the time. In the daytime battlefield, there was indeed such a scene, but she didn't have time to pay attention to it.

But at this time in the dream, the fallen man in Yu Guangli seemed to be slowed down, reappearing scenes in front of Xie Yuan's eyes clearly, watching the arrows stuck in his body Ya, looking at the blankness in his eyes because of his sudden death, there was no time to be surprised and think too much.

Suddenly, she felt that her horse had stepped on something, and she tilted her whole body. Xie Yuan turned her head to look, and saw a small corpse lying on the ground full of arrows, face sideways, arms Twisted back on the head...

... It's Xunya!

Xie Yuan thought, he rode over Xun Ya on his horse... Xun Ya was trampled to death by her!
Xie Yuan's face suddenly turned ashen, remorseful, and he cried aloud, thinking in his heart: She was fighting, and she trampled to death that cute little girl who was holding a clay persimmon and gave it to her as a birthday present with her own hands. ...

She was so sad that she completely forgot that she was still under the attack of Arrow Rain.Just after thinking about it, I felt that there was a dark hole behind her aiming at her, and I was shot in the back!
It hurts so much! !
Xie Yuan woke up suddenly from her sleep, her face was covered with tears, and when she sat up, she reached out her hand behind her back while crying, to touch the painful place where the arrow had been shot.

No arrows... she missed the arrow...

It is not yet dawn, but there is moonlight.Xie Yuan stared at the moonlight with tears all over his face, and stared at the moonlight for a long time before realizing that he was just dreaming, and what happened in the dream was not reality.

She couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and suddenly she felt very grateful: Fortunately, it was a dream, and she didn't kill Xunya.

But this dream was so real, even now, she still felt a dull pain in her back, as if she had really been hit by such an arrow firmly, the arrow passed through her back, pierced her heart, and there was a cold ...

……

The next day, General Shen received an urgent transfer order from the court, ordering him to expand his army, go north, and station on the border line adjacent to the Northern Dynasty, waiting for orders.

The new captives could just expand two battalions, one of which was given to Xie Yuan.

So Xie Yuan was promoted to captain on his 14 years old birthday.

Shen Qingzhi admitted that he was somewhat partial.Although Xie Yuan has been doing meritorious service, and he has been patient in training soldiers and has regulations, he is not known to be much better than other reckless soldiers in the army.

But he knew in his heart that if he didn't know Xie Yuan, at her age, even if he was optimistic, he wouldn't be promoted so quickly.

It is always necessary to select some older people who have been in the army for a long time to be promoted, so that it is the safest for the military's reputation and public opinion.

But the problem is that he knows that Xie Yuan is a girl and also his apprentice.Although he respected Xie Yuan's choice and did not interfere with her military operations, he was not worried that her mistakes were fake.

Wouldn't it be possible to reduce the danger of rushing to the front by rising up one day earlier?
Fortunately, Xie Yuan was very famous in their battalion. In the words of his cousin Xiaowei Shen: she was too ostentatious and did not know how to hide her clumsiness at all.

Therefore, even if Xie Yuan is assigned a battalion right now and let her be the school captain, everyone can only complain about whether she is too fast because of her young age, but no one dares to directly question her strength.

In the military tent, Shen's father handed her a paper of confession, and asked, "How do I see that you have been a little out of your mind recently, and you have been promoted to a school lieutenant, are you unhappy?"

Xie Yuan didn't know what to say. She kept thinking about the dream she had that day, and felt very uncomfortable. Recently... she even started to doubt what she was doing, whether the goal she set was right...
