book of troubled times

Chapter 288

As soon as Sanniang led the crowd to leave, Yue Hongling came on horseback. She didn't know if Sanniang had sensed the sound of horseshoes in the distance in advance, so she walked so well.

Looking at the figures in the distance, Yue Hongling asked Zhao Changhe in surprise: "Who are those people? Did you kill Ubalu's helper?"

"That's right." Zhao Changhe thought to himself that Sanniang probably didn't want Yue Hongling to know her strength, so she decided to leave, especially if the identity of Xuanwu really became known all over the world, Sanniang might run away violently.

So he didn't go to expose her background, just said: "A group of like-minded people, and Han Wubing together."

Yue Hongling thought about it, "No wonder it's so easy, so there is a large group of people, are they camped by knights?"

"Hmm." Zhao Changhe asked, "How is your side? Are you not hurt?"

"No real fight." Yue Hongling looked a little serious: "Chili has broken the secret treasure, and his real strength at this moment is definitely more than 66 on the list. Next time you see him, don't underestimate the enemy. It's best to leave as soon as you see him. The farther the better."

Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "Isn't it because you are by my side?"

Yue Hongling turned her head to look at him for a while, then suddenly said: "Hey, do you really want to be with me all the time?"

Zhao Changhe was stunned: "How do you say this, do you still want to separate from me?"

"I can't bear it." Yue Hongling sighed: "But from the perspective of martial arts, whether it's for you or me, it's actually beneficial to separate."

Zhao Changhe pursed his lips, he also knew this truth in his heart.

Especially Hongling is stronger than herself... If she is always by her side, once dependence is developed, it will be really difficult to make any progress.

Yue Hongling said: "After this battle, where do you plan to go?"

Zhao Changhe thought for a while, then asked, "What about you?"

"I might go to the southwest, go to Bashan Sword Cottage for a while, and take a look at the Gu incident in Miaojiang. I have to pass through the world."

It seems that Yue Hongling really has a very clear plan for her own path. Such a wandering heroine rarely stops her heart in one place.

Strictly speaking, even though she has been obtained, it may not be considered "returning her heart", because her heart is in the end of the world.

I don't know when she will feel tired and want a home.

But obviously it's not the time yet, after all, her man is not a peaceful master.

Everyone has no home, so where can they stay?

In fact, Zhao Changhe felt that he could also go to the southwest. For example, he had always wanted to go to Wushan to find Master Xue. Yue Hongling beat Xue Jiaozhu again, it was very offensive to think about it.

But after thinking about it, beating Master Xue is not the first priority, and I do have more important plans. For example, the next step should be to find the blood ginseng that Jin Foil said, and to lay the foundation of the "Blood Asura Body", then I should go Where should I follow the clues of blood ginseng, there is no reason to decide where to go first, otherwise it will be a waste of time.

I actually forgot to ask Sanniang about this before, she might have a clue because she is well-informed.

In addition, you should try to contact Ji Chengkong to see if there is any tradeable place on the Thief Saint, and learn about ingestion martial arts. It is very important to be able to use the storage ring!

Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Okay, I have to find something by myself, maybe, you and I are so destined, I will find it and I will touch you."

Yue Hongling found it quite interesting: "The world is so big, if you didn't come to the southwest on purpose, and just looking for things by yourself can coincide with my path, then I..."

Zhao Changhe blinked: "What?"

Yue Hongling blushed slightly, bit her lower lip and turned her head: "Then play with you the pose you've always wanted."

Zhao Changhe laughed: "I have confidence, just wait, my heroine."

Yue Hongling said angrily, "This is all I can think of now."

I don't know who mentioned it first... Zhao Changhe didn't expose her, and said with a smile: "Let's go, at least for now, you and I are still riding side by side, giving Timur a little shock in the Central Plains."

Talking about clipping the belly of a horse, he ran forward like a crow riding on the snow: "Look at your red rabbit, or is my crow stronger?"

Seeing his unrestrained appearance, the entanglement in Yue Hongling's heart dissipated, and he also became unrestrained, waved his horsewhip: "Drive!"

…………

It was the setting sun again, the setting sun was setting in the west, the Qiang pipe was leisurely, and the ground was covered with clear frost.

Wild geese flew across the mountains, crossed the critical point, returned south, and went straight to Hengyang.

It's winter...

But the people here have not returned home for an unknown period of time, and they will never even return home.

Huangfu Yong first stood at the top of the city, looking at the continuous corpses, he couldn't tell which ones belonged to the enemy and which ones belonged to his own people.

A section of the city wall has half collapsed, and the soldiers are trying their best to repair it, but Huangfu Yongxian's experience clearly tells him that it cannot be repaired tonight, and the barbarians will attack this gap tomorrow morning.

The soldiers on the left and right were exhausted, and the blood stains on their faces hadn't been washed for an unknown amount of time.

Not to mention cleaning, we don't even have much time to sleep.

Affected by Herley's death before, the War Lion tribe was in chaos and did not participate in the research. Without this huge clan, Timur's offensive also slowed down a little. The main point of tension between the two sides was still food.

It was almost winter, and there was not enough food in the grasslands, which was also the biggest factor that prompted them to tackle this problem.

But Huangfu Yongxian found out feebly that the other party's food was no less than his own.

There is a shortage of food and salaries here, and there are not enough tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to support Yanmen after passing through layers.

On the contrary, a large amount of food came out of the customs from nowhere and was scattered to the major tribes behind the grassland.

Huangfu Yong first sent people to pretend to be horse bandits, and intercepted from outside the pass to inside the pass, and directly borrowed this extra money to fill the shortage of his own army and horses, which was barely enough.But it doesn't make sense in the overall situation. If the barbarians have enough food for the army, they won't be able to drag them down, but their own side is about to collapse.

Because the number of people is not an order of magnitude.

The barbarians can take turns to attack, but my own side can't take turns, everyone is exhausted.

In the past, the Jianghu people in the Knight Camp seldom directly participated in the war, and they all went to the rear to make troubles.Since the six people were rescued by Zhao Changhe last time, there are very few people running out now, and they all honestly come to the army to help.For example, a strong player like Cui Yuanyong, Situ Xiao, is even more powerful than a hundred. As a team arrow, he is unstoppable. It has boosted a lot of morale, but it is still useless.

In an offensive and defensive battle with a scale of hundreds of thousands, their role is too small.

Right now, they can still support it with all their strength, but it is said that the war lion tribe has returned to their souls. Once they charge over again, it will be a big deal.

My daughter often said, let's go the other way, what is there to do with such a foolish king and such an imperial court?Does it matter how many people in our family have died?
Huangfu Yong first turned his head and looked around, the surrounding soldiers saw the old general looking over, they all tried their best to raise their heads, so that the general could see that they still hadn't lost their fighting spirit.

Huangfu Yong smiled first.

Regardless of surrender or rebellion, the soul of this army is gone, and so is the soul of Huangfu Yongxian.

It would be better to die.

"General." Finally a deputy general said: "It's late at night, you are old, why don't you go back and rest. Let's keep an eye on the repairs here."

The old general smiled casually: "My strength is the highest among you, there is no reason for me to go to bed first."

"General..."

"Don't worry, as long as I don't die for a day, Yanmen will be there."

The old general held his helmet in his arms, and the north wind blew by, bringing up the general's white hair, like frost on this winter night.

The soldiers were willing to believe the encouraging words of the old general.

But he is not yet sixty, and his hair is already full of gray hair. If he is so exhausted, is there any general in Yanmen?
Unknowingly, the stars and the moon fade away.

Rooster crowing sounded in Guannei County, the east gradually turned white, and a few rays of morning glow reflected the sky, which was very beautiful.

"Woo~woo~"

The horn sounded, the ground trembled slightly, and the overwhelming torrent approached from far away, approaching Guancheng.

The torrent stretches and stretches as far as the eye can see, just looking at it from a distance, it will give people a suffocating pressure.

Huangfu Yong first took a look at the collapsed part of the city wall, and there was basically no point in repairing it.
