Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 360 The rain is coming
This horse riding technique was given to her by Su Chen very early on.And this He Chen was also Su Chen's horse in the early days.But now it only recognizes Ye Song as its master, and it is not polite to Su Chen at all.

Su Chen took two steps back, then flew up and kicked, the foot landed on He Chen's neck on the side, He Chen hissed, and then he lost his balance and fell to one side.Ye Song also slapped Su Chen mercilessly with his whip, and the whip also scratched a shocking bloodstain on his side neck.

At that time, Su Jing flew from behind, stepped on He Chen's horse with her toes, and hugged Ye Song's waist without any explanation, picked her up before she fell to the ground, and landed firmly on the side.

Su Chen raised his hand and touched his neck, his fingers were bright red, he was not annoyed, he just glanced at Ye Song, and said: "The emperor ordered such an order, so naturally he doesn't want to see you act impulsively. From here to Rong Di's capital, Not to mention the long distance, how can you control all these variables. I am afraid that you will go to Rongdi alone. If the ruler of Rongdi really has ulterior motives, then you will never return. Are you looking for your elder brother and sister-in-law? , you are going to die for nothing."

Ye Song said: "It's none of your business what I want!" Then he broke Su Jing's hand away.

Su Jing was beside her, and said softly: "Ye Xiu has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he is thoughtful. Most people can't do anything to him, even the emperor Rongdi may not be able to do it. This news is probably false, so don't take it lightly. believe."

Ye Song said: "It's better to believe in its existence than in its non-existence."

Su Jing said: "If you are not at ease, I can go with you no matter whether there is a net of heaven and earth or a sea of ​​swords and flames in front of you. It's just that the third brother is right, this place is thousands of miles away from Rongdi, even if you really want to go, you should have a long-term plan. Should I prepare an extra change of clothes, and if I don’t need to bring dry food, I should also bring some silver.”

Ye Song was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at Su Jing.His smile was as warm as the sun, and the expression in those peach blossom eyes seemed to be gradually waking up after another year of peach blossoms. It was so beautiful that it made people think that the severe winter had completely passed, and the coming soon It is March in Yangchun.

Ye Song's eyes gradually regained his senses, but the red circles around his eyes never faded away.She said: "I thought the same way at the beginning. When my elder brother decided to go to Rongdi, I didn't dissuade him so resolutely. If you trust a person too much, you will believe it wrong in the end."

"A Song, don't be too pessimistic. If you want to leave today, I will accompany you."

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes hurriedly sounded again, but it did not sound from inside the city gate.Everyone listened carefully, only to realize that the sound of horseshoes came from outside the city gate.Someone patted the city gate and shouted in despair: "The battle report from the north—"

"Battle reports from the West—"

Beixia is located in the east, and the west and north were in a hurry overnight. The Rongdi united with many small countries in the north and attacked Beixia at the same time.Small countries are nothing to be afraid of, but if those small countries are all united, they will be a force that cannot be underestimated.

The general didn't have time to bear the pain of losing his son, so he was called into the palace overnight to discuss family and country affairs with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

There are still leaders in the DPRK and China, and Li Xiang has long been used to opposing the general, but he must stand on the opposite side of whatever the general advocates.Now that the general is also in the pain of losing his son, Li Xiang is more gloating than feeling the same.

The simultaneous attack on Beixia from the west and the north must have been arranged in advance.Although it should not be underestimated, there are also ways to defeat it.Li Xiang advocated peace, first to give some sweetness to the northern countries, but the conditions for the main peace are different, so the northern countries will have a gap in their hearts, so that they can break through each other.

The most likely gap in cooperation is mutual distrust, so Li Xiang's idea has won the support of many ministers.

It's a pity that the general has a fiery temper. He openly pointed at Li Xiang's nose and scolded Li Xiang in the hall.Finally, he said angrily: "This world was brought down by the late emperor with the flesh and blood of the soldiers, not by kneeling on the ground and begging for it! Rong Di and the small northern countries, wolf ambitions, how can mere sweetness be enough to satisfy them?" Theirs, if you satisfy them today, they will have such and such demands tomorrow, and this will never end, until Beixia will eventually lose his country one day! You are greedy for life and afraid of death. No one will stop you, but you don’t want to either. The warriors who hinder me from Beixia!"

Li Xiang blushed at being scolded, and sneered: "I think you are in the habit of relying on the old and selling the old, and your son died tragically. Rong Di was angry, so you use the excuse of serving the country, but in fact you want to avenge your life!"

The general said frankly: "So what, Rong Di asked me to send a white-haired man to a black-haired man. If I don't avenge this revenge, I will be a father in vain! But I am not like you. My son died on the battlefield. You clearly With resentment in your heart, but you say righteous words, you are the most hypocritical person in the world!"

"you!"

In the early morning of the same day, the general came out of the palace, and didn't even have time to enter the house, so he went straight to the training ground and ordered troops overnight.According to Su Ruoqing's order, the troops were divided into three groups and marched towards the west, north and south.Nanzhen has always been the biggest threat to Beixia, so it can't be okay in this critical time.

The whole northern summer is filled with a heavy sense of oppression as the mountains and rains are about to come and the wind is full of buildings.

The lights in the general's mansion were also kept on all night. When the general came back from the last twilight of dawn, the lanterns in front of the mansion reflected the snow in front of the gate, emitting a faint and hazy light, as if frozen by the snow.

Ye Song was dressed neatly, looking like a man, wearing a lake blue collared dress that her elder brother used to wear, her hair was pulled up high, her eyes were calm and piercing.When the general saw her, he paused, looking very tired, stepped into the hall and sat on a chair.Ye Song took the initiative to pour him a cup of hot water.

The general drank it all in one breath, and said, "If you don't go to sleep at this time, what are you doing here?"

Ye Song said, "I'll go too."

The general's hand holding the cup froze suddenly, "Where are you going?"

"The border between the west and Rongdi." Ye Song's voice was calm and a little dull, "I'll go and find my eldest brother."

As soon as the words fell, the general's expression changed instantly, and his heart was quite complicated.During the day, he scolded Ye Song so badly, and even slapped her, not because he didn't regret it, but because he was so heartbroken that he couldn't control himself.In fact, the path is Ye Xiu's own choice, and many things are his own choice, no wonder others.

Not to mention Ye Song.

He just thought that if Ye Xiu's death was blamed on one person, he would feel better.However, the result was not like this.

The general resolutely said: "Don't go!"

Ye Songdao: "Now that the imperial court is employing people, many young generals have never led soldiers. The emperor is worried after all. Maybe the emperor will send many young generals this time, but only father and the virtuous king can take care of the overall situation. Wait for someone. The virtuous king will be sent to guard the south, father will guard the north, and I have fought against Rong Di in the west, so I know some experience, if it is me and Su Chen, it would be perfect."

"Okay! Don't talk about this matter anymore!" the general said, "The emperor did intend to let the third prince lead the army west, but he didn't mention that you should go with him!"

The general put the cup heavily on the table, got up and strode out of the hall. Just as he was about to step out of the door, Ye Song suddenly said: "No matter what, I'm going to bring the eldest brother back. If you want To see a person, to die is to see a corpse."

The general's back, which had always been straight, became a little stooped at some point. He stood at the door for a while, then let out a sigh of relief, and said in a helpless tone: "Don't mess around. Your elder brother is gone, and I only have you as my own son." Daughter. It would be unfilial to ask me to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person."

Ye Song blinked, but didn't look up.It's just that the sight of both eyes was quietly wet with tears.

The general ordered the guards in the mansion while walking: "Show me the second young lady, no one is allowed to let her step out of the house without my order!"

Because of the tense battle, there was no time to prepare everything in detail.The general didn't close his eyes all day and all night, and he went out again when his genius was dim.At this time, 10,000+ soldiers were on standby at the gate of the city.

Bei Xia was able to gather this number of soldiers in just one night, which is already very good.

Several generals were at the forefront of the soldiers on horseback. After a while, a cold wind blew up, and Su Ruoqing, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, climbed up the tower with his sleeves flicked.The hem of his clothes was blown back, and he held a black military flag with the words "Northern Xia" written on it in his plain hand, and planted it firmly on the tower, and then began to practice for the three armies.

Ye Song waited at home until dawn. She stood under the eaves and looked up at the gray sky.The fine snowflakes kept falling, and the branches in the garden were bare, and the places where the branches crossed were covered with snow.

Ye Qing and Miss Ying came to see her, both showing worried expressions.On the contrary, Ye Song was very calm, tightened the sleeves between his wrists, went back to the yard and fished out a cloak to put on his body, his long ink-like hair was dyed with snow, and the brows became more and more beautiful, with a bit of the original heroic spirit.

She said: "It's almost time, Yingzi."

Miss Ying understood, and said, "I'm ready, I can go out anytime."

Ye Qing asked hesitantly: "Second Sister, are you really determined to go?"

Ye Song took two steps, turned to look at her, squinted his eyes and smiled, but unfortunately the smile was not easy.She stretched out her hand, just enough to touch Ye Qing's hair at an arm's length, and said, "I must go, maybe the eldest brother is waiting for me. Ah Qing, you and Yingzi are at home, and you can take care of yourself." Bar?"

With tears in his eyes, Ye Qing bit the corner of his mouth and nodded, handed Ye Song the wooden box he had prepared early in the morning, and said, "Second Sister, be careful. Nothing will happen to you. I'll wait for you to come back."

"Understood." Ye Song raised his eyebrows and took the wooden box, "What is this?"

"You'll know when you open it."
