Chapter 48 As always
When Mingzhu heard this, Mu Nana looked at him, seemingly in disbelief.
In the world, how can there be a mother who doesn't love her child?But the expression on his face is by no means like a lie, and he is full of hatred, all caused by the tragic end of his parents, so he bears blood and blood.He loves them so much that he doesn't make fun of them.
Mingzhu turned to face him, and said in a trembling voice, "My lord heard wrong..."
"She said it herself, not only did I hear it correctly, but I also heard it clearly." Feng Zhanxiu said in a calm and clear tone with the corners of his lips fluttering.This pain also slowly precipitated with the tempering of time, became distant and could no longer be touched.
Mingzhu didn't know what to do for a while, and had mixed feelings in her heart.
What had his mother said to him?
How could this be?
Feng Zhanxiu looked at the bright moon and silently withdrew his gaze.He turned and strolled toward his tent.Under the light of the bonfire, the tall figure seemed to be flickering, a little unreal.His lonely figure gradually submerged, as if melting into this darkness.
Mingzhu stared at his receding figure, hesitating and hesitating.
Suddenly taking a step forward, she shouted, "My lord!"
He couldn't help but stop, but he didn't look back.Then he continued to walk forward and walked forward.
Seeing this, Mingzhu suddenly ran towards him.She ran so fast, so fast, that even her breathing became short of breath.And he was getting closer and closer to her, she stretched out her hand anxiously and reached out to him.She wanted to hug him, but in the end she let go of the thought, and just grabbed the hem of his clothes.
She could clearly hear her own heartbeat.Plop plop.
Feng Zhanxiu stood on the spot and straightened his back.He looked peaceful, but there was a glimmer of darkness in his eyes.
"In this world, every mother loves her child. Even if she said it herself, there must be a reason." Mingzhu lowered her head, her voice choked up, "She loves you very much, please believe me."
A young man's hoarse voice came to his ears from behind, but Feng Zhanxiu still responded silently.
It was just something that crashed into my heart all of a sudden, causing ripples that could no longer be calmed down.
It's been a long time.
Mingzhu let go of her hand in embarrassment, only then did she realize her gaffe.She clenched her hands into fists and murmured in panic, "I... that... this..."
She was at a loss and didn't know how to proceed.
"It's getting late, I'll go back and rest first." In the end, I had to say this.
Mingzhu took a step forward and ran past him quickly.
When she passed by him, Feng Zhanxiu suddenly grabbed the boy's wrist.Mingzhu looked back at him in astonishment, panic flickered in her eyes, "My lord..."
"I think you look like a person." He let go of his hand, looked at the young man tenderly, and said quietly.
The starlight from the entire night sky seemed to fall into his eyes, which immediately hurt Mingzhu's eyes and hurt her heart.
Mingzhu had no choice but to pretend to be curious, and Fox asked, "Who?"
"A person... whom you have never dreamed of again." Feng Zhanxiu's male voice was very deep and dissipated in the wind.
※※※
The sun rises, the shade is green, and there is a fork in front of it.
"My lord! Let's go!" Zhongli pulled up the reins and shouted at Feng Zhanxiu.
Feng Zhanxiu raised his forehead silently, his brows were awe-inspiring.
Zhongli immediately took orders and led [-] elite soldiers towards Hancheng.And Feng Zhanxiu led other soldiers to attack Shu City. The closer to Shu City, the more severe the temperature difference between day and night.During the day, it was still a bit stuffy, but at night, it was so cold that my teeth chattered.The perennial fog made the march even more difficult.
Just after nightfall, the eldest sister of the Twelve Cavalry led one hundred brave soldiers to form a sniper squad, and the target was the enemy camp ten miles away.
According to the reports of the soldiers during the day, the camp was set up by the enemy to observe our actions, and there were a thousand soldiers in the camp.
The night was dark and the wind was high, and a group of people headed towards the enemy camp.
Inside the tent, Mingzhu, Lianren, Ajin and Aguan waited quietly.The atmosphere tonight feels particularly different and solemn.Perhaps because this was the beginning of the war, Feng Zhanxiu provoked the fuse.After tonight, they will face a bloody scene.
It was the fourth watch, and no one was in the mood to sleep.
Lian Ren sat on the side wiping his dagger, his eyes lowered.
"Big sister will be fine, right?" Ah Jin couldn't help asking.
Ah Guan nodded and gave an affirmative answer, "Of course."
Although they had only followed Feng Zhanxiu for a few months, they had an unusual feeling for this brave and invincible prince.Men were on the battlefield, and now they are on the battlefield.It's just that they are too young to become a member of the sergeant, which is really annoying.
"I'm going out for a walk." Mingzhu was fidgeting, and simply stood up and walked out of the tent.
Outside the tent, soldiers patrolled cautiously back and forth, always on alert.
Mingzhu stopped suddenly, and involuntarily turned her head to look at Feng Zhanxiu's tent.After a while, she looked away.Just when he turned around, there was a tall figure standing in front of him.Mingzhu didn't expect it and was taken aback.She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw who was coming.
"My lord." She called softly.
Feng Zhanxiu glanced at her, and said casually, "You are restlessly staying in the tent, what are you doing out there?"
"Come out for a walk." She answered in a general way.
Feng Zhanxiu only looked at a certain place in the distance, and said in a deep voice, "Go back to sleep."
"Can't sleep." Mingzhu confessed honestly, without continuing to be vague, "I'm worried, so I can't sleep. Isn't the prince worried about them? That's why I haven't slept yet!"
Feng Zhanxiu chuckled and said in a low voice, "I'm not worried."
Mingzhu looked at him suspiciously, but saw that he drew the corners of his lips, showing an arc of absolute confidence.
She immediately understood that he was waiting for the news of victory in this battle!
It was almost five o'clock, the sky was slightly brighter, and dawn was coming.
Feng Zhanxiu stood there, motionless.
His gaze has been looking at the direction just now, without shifting.
The temperature was getting lower and lower, and the fog shrouded the whole body, and the black hair was wet.And Mingzhu was shivering from the cold, and her little face began to turn pale.It was so cold, she had to rub her hands from time to time, lower her head and take a breath, trying to resist the cold, but found it was useless.
"Huh!" Mingzhu let out another cloud of white gas.
Feng Zhanxiu shouted, "Go into the tent!"
"I'm not cold." Hearing his scolding, Mingzhu said bravely.
Feng Zhanxiu was silent, no longer speaking, but glanced at him vaguely out of the corner of his eye.He turned around and walked towards his tent.Seeing him turn around, she turned around naturally and followed him into the tent.At this moment, Mingzhu looked at his tall back, her thoughts turned, and she was suddenly taken aback.
Could it be that he was afraid that she would be cold?That's why...
She raised the corners of her mouth in joy, her heart warmed slightly.
Inside the tent, Mingzhu sat on one side obediently, covered her face with her hands, and covered her face from the cold.
Feng Zhanxiu threw the cloak at him casually, still silent.
"Thank you, my lord." Mingzhu hugged the cloak and thanked softly.
The cloak was too big, making him look even smaller when draped over him.He was originally a beautiful boy, and the soul residing in his body was a woman. In a trance, there was always a kind of weakness and softness.Mingzhu didn't notice her strangeness, but Feng Zhanxiu's sharp eyes burst out with a gleam of light.
After a while, it was too late to wait for January to lead the troops back.
Mingzhu turned her head to look at Feng Zhanxiu who was sitting in the middle, but seeing that he was acting calmly, she couldn't help asking softly, "My lord, will anything happen?"
Feng Zhanxiu ignored it, his sword eyebrows were sharp.
Mingzhu pursed her mouth in boredom and lowered her head.
In the next second, someone reached out and lifted the curtain and walked into the tent.
It's January.
Mingzhu looked at January in surprise, and was relieved to see that she was safe and sound.
The night clothes that January was wearing were torn and torn, and were covered with blood, and the smell of blood was faintly diffused, very thick.There were several long and narrow scars on her delicate cheeks, but they were slightly dry.The wound on the wrist was more serious, and it was forced to be bandaged with cloth strips torn from clothes indiscriminately, and the blood had already penetrated.
Holding something in her right hand, she knelt down on the ground and said respectfully, "Report to the lord! All the enemy troops were wiped out, leaving no one behind! Here are the heads of the enemy soldiers, please give me instructions."
"Give it to General Mo immediately, and tell General Mo that this is a gift from this king to meet him!" Feng Zhanxiu said in a deep voice, cruel and cold-blooded.
"Yes!" January clasped her fists and replied.
As soon as Mingzhu heard this, her little face that was bloody just now suddenly turned pale again.She looked at the thing in January's right hand, and thought that the thing wrapped in the clothes turned out to be a human head, and she felt nauseated in her stomach.She stood up abruptly, covered her little face and ran out of the tent.
The cloak slipped from his shoulders and fell to the ground.
※※※
The assault was successful, and the soldiers of the whole army were in high spirits.
"Ouch—" Mingzhu ran out of the tent, holding on to the corner and retching.
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, unable to accept such a cruel war, her body resisted instinctively, and her heart reflexively rejected it.If there were only killing and ruthlessness between people, then what would be left in this world.How many people will feel resentful after death and cannot rest in peace.
Suddenly, heavy footsteps sounded behind him, and someone approached quietly.
A clean handkerchief was handed to him.
Mingzhu stared blankly at the handkerchief, then turned to look at the person who came.
Perhaps because of the fog, Lian Ren's handsome face was a little hazy.He was wearing a navy blue robe, and he looked clean and clear.A beautiful young man with some childish facial features, but his expression was strangely calm, with a calmness and persistence that didn't match his age.
Lian Ren didn't ask much, but said softly, "Let's go. Clean up, it's time to start."
Mingzhu nodded and followed him to the tent not far away.
As soon as the two walked into the tent, they heard Ah Jin yelling excitedly, "The eldest sister is indeed the eldest sister, and led the soldiers to wipe out all the enemy troops overnight! Awesome!"
"And brought back the heads of the enemy soldiers!" Ah Guan said in a low voice.
"Head?" Ah Jin's scalp was numb, and the excitement just now stopped.
As Guan packed his luggage, he said, "The prince ordered someone to send the head. It is said that he wants to give the enemy general a blow! Everyone is very excited!"
"So that's how it is." Ah Jin replied, and began to pack his luggage.
A Guan looked up at Lian Ren and Ming Zhu, and said, "Hurry up, we're leaving soon!"
It was still dark, and the large army began to move forward again.
The atmosphere of the war became more and more stagnant.
Feng Zhanxiu and Yun Ni rode their horses and pattered forward, and the twelve cavalry were scattered in front of and behind the team for easy response.In the whole army, in the only carriage, four beautiful boys sat safely.Ah Jin and Ah Guan chatted without saying a word, while Lian Ren sat on the side with his eyes closed.
Mingzhu curled up and stopped talking from the beginning to the end.
At noon, the team rested along the road, and the fire fighters began to prepare the food for the whole army.
Mingzhu and the other three also started cooking as usual.Mingzhu stared blankly at the pot, but did not move for a long time.In her ears, the ruthless words were still circling.And in her mind, she could still picture a terrifying scene of killing.This is too cruel and too terrifying...
She didn't come back to herself until someone patted her on the shoulder.
"This is war. You can only go forward, and there is no way to retreat. Because if you retreat, there is only one end, and that is death." Lian Ren said in a deep voice with sharp green eyes.
Mingzhu was stunned for a while, and suddenly smiled again, "So, life can be as cheap as grass, as humble as dust?"
She laughed at herself, but also weakly.
"Unless someone unifies this continent, there will be no more wars." Looking at his vain smile, Lian Ren said in a deep voice, "Even if it is not the prince, someone will naturally fight!"
Mingzhu didn't understand at all, and asked, "Why?"
"Each has their own country, as long as the country is peaceful and the people are safe and the weather is good, isn't it all right? Why do we have to fight in all directions? It is laborious and costly! Have you ever thought about those parents who lost their children, wives who lost their husbands, lost What should I do if I have lost my father's child?"
"Because of power, because I want to dominate the world!" Lian Ren narrowed his eyes and pointed out sharply, "No king of a country will allow someone who is stronger than him, or that person is as powerful as him!"
Mingzhu was tongue-tied, and suddenly she had no rebuttal words, but she was also awakened by him.
She suddenly thought of Hongdi and Dong Xiaotian.
At that time, Emperor Hong married himself to Feng Zhanxiu precisely because he was afraid of Feng Zhanxiu's power.And Dong Xiaotian was frank with her once, it was indeed because he was not strong enough.Even in the end, he would suddenly renege on the agreement, even if he got the soldier talisman, he would kill them all because of this!
——The king of no country will allow someone to be stronger than himself, or that person to be as powerful as himself!
Feng Zhanxiu definitely belongs to the former, his strength is enough to make people tremble.
Mingzhu suddenly wakes up, but finds that she doesn't know what to do, she just feels lonely and desolate.
"The current war may be cruel, but it is for the prosperity and peace of the future. There should be such a king to unify the continent and stop the war completely." Lian Ren's eyes are particularly bright, with infinite yearning and expectations.
He bent his eyes and said firmly, "If it's the prince, it will definitely be possible."
Mingzhu looked at him, and murmured hesitantly, "I don't know..."
The unification of prosperity and peace should have tens of millions of lives sacrificed.
Whether it's worth it or not, she doesn't know.
Perhaps, no one has ever been able to give a definite answer.But she knew that his war was only because of hatred.
※※※
In the ninth month of the Xiao Year, the King of War surrendered to Prince Rui, and then raised his troops to attack the Daxing Dynasty in one fell swoop.After marching for several months, the army of the King of War and the army of the Daxing Dynasty officially launched a fierce battle.Daxing will be led by Mo Kang and General Mo to fight this time.The two armies fought, a slaughter, a catastrophe.
In the blink of an eye, it is already December.
In December, it was the time when the sky was cold and the ground was freezing, but it was full of flames.
In the city of Yicheng, Mo Kang and several generals and counselors are discussing the enemy's attack situation in the mansion.
Suddenly, a soldier bowed his head and rushed into the hall, "General! Hancheng is under attack!"
"I expected this a long time ago! There is a general guarding Hancheng, and it will not be captured for a while! Ziyang and Munan, you two immediately lead troops to outflank and attack from the left and right! This time, I will let Feng Zhan Xiu Ma stumbled and was in a dilemma!" Mo Kang stroked his beard and said in a deep voice.
The two immediately knelt down on the ground on one knee, took the soldier talisman and said, "Your subordinate obeys!"
"Go quickly!"
"Yes!" The two got up, turned and ran out of the hall.
"Wait!" Mo Kang thought of something and shouted again.The two soldiers turned their heads and waited quietly, and he then instructed, "Remember, don't hurt Feng Zhanxiu's life!"
The two soldiers finally left. Fei Zhong, the counselor at the side, turned his head to look at Mo Kang, and said in a low voice, "The general treats him kindly and cannot bear to kill him. I'm afraid he..."
"Fei Zhong!" Mo Kang shouted, and said with emotion, "Although Feng Zhanxiu's temperament is withdrawn and arrogant, he is indeed a rare general!"
Although Fei Zhong recognized Feng Zhanxiu's bravery, he also exhorted worriedly, "General, the emperor has issued a death order."
"Now, the bones of the first emperor and the princess are not cold, and Prime Minister Liu is ambitious, and he only interferes with the government affairs! The emperor needs generals!" Sitting on the chair, Mo Kang squinted his eyes and said, "If I can make him return to obedience, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? matter? As for the emperor, I will naturally strongly recommend it!"
"It's hard to be a general!" Fei Zhong said with a bow.
……
On the hills thousands of miles away from the city, the army of the King of War was scattered and stationed here for ten days.As the enemy has approached, the whole army is in a state of readiness at any time.At the end of the bush path, there are cavalry coming.The soldiers patrolling around saw the token in each other's hands, and then allowed the cavalry to dismount.
The cavalryman rushed into the tent covered in blood, and hurriedly replied, "My lord! The enemy flanks from left to right, and we are attacked from front and back! All the generals ask the lord for instructions!"
After the voice fell, the knight was overwhelmed and fell to the ground.
The soldiers carried the cavalry out and rushed to treat him.
Inside the tent, everyone looked at Feng Zhanxiu, waiting for him to speak.
Feng Zhanxiu looked straight ahead with his deep eyes, moved his lips suddenly, and said in a deep voice, "Kill him back!"
Everyone took a deep breath and roared, "Yes!"
Immediately, Zhanwang's army rushed to Hancheng to rescue Zhongli and his party.
After dozens of days of running around day and night, Zhan Wang's army arrived smoothly, joined forces with a group of soldiers led by Zhong Lisuo, and defeated a total of [-] soldiers led by Zi Yang and Mu Nan.As for Yicheng, General Mokang received the news and personally led his troops to follow behind, preparing for the praying mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole to follow behind.
The generals of the two armies met in person on the battlefield. At this critical moment, a decisive battle is coming.
The hillside in front of Hancheng is full of trees, which is good for soldiers to hide, but it is also easy to be ambushed.Fengzhan Xiuming's twelve cavalry led teams of ten each, carefully avoiding the enemy's prying and watching, and planted loose stone powder around them.Loose stone powder itself is low in toxicity, but once it is burned, it is extremely toxic.
In such a forested place, it is probably the only way to wipe out the enemy without hurting a single soldier.
It was night, and the lit torch was thrown down, and a flame was ignited, and a line of fire quickly sprang up, spreading and burning along the scattered loose stone powder.
The westerly wind came up again, and the westerly wind howled and blew violently. The fire intensified and could no longer be stopped.
Not long after, one mountain top after another was burned.
Against the backdrop of the fire, the sky was lit up.
"General! The enemy has sprinkled loose stone powder all around. Now the westerly wind is blowing again, and the fire is getting stronger and stronger! The loose stone powder is highly poisonous and deadly after being burned. Please, general, evacuate this place quickly!" The soldiers rushed into the tent, hurriedly Reported back.
Mo Kang's thick eyebrows were tightly frowned, his eyes were lowered in thought, but he was hesitant.
When the westerly wind blows, the loose stone powder is highly poisonous and blows towards Hancheng, so what should the people of Hancheng do?
"General! If you don't leave, I'm afraid the whole army will be annihilated!" The situation was too tense, Fei Zhong couldn't help turning his head and shouting.
Mo Kang was over fifty, he was wearing battle armor, with a silver beard, and he was even more upright.He picked up the helmet in front of him, put it on his head violently, and shouted in a deep voice, "You guys immediately lead the soldiers to evacuate from this place, leaving a thousand elite soldiers to follow the old man to Hancheng to evacuate the people!"
"General!" Everyone exclaimed when they heard him say that.
Mo Kang made a decision in his heart, glanced at everyone one by one, and said firmly, "Zi Yang, I appointed you as the deputy general to lead the sergeants to evacuate! Immediately! Immediately! Now! Withdraw!"
"General!" Everyone bowed to the ground, refusing to leave, "General, please think twice!"
Mo Kang stretched out his hand to pat the case, and shouted sharply, "This is a military order!"
When these four words came out, everyone was startled and had no choice but to keep quiet.
"Your subordinates obey!" Everyone stood up slowly, their brows were furrowed, and they turned around and ran out of the tent after all.
Outside the tent, the scene was chaotic.The soldiers quickly withdrew from the camp and rushed back to Yicheng.And this fiery sky, mixed with rumbling smoke, glowed with bursts of red light.The cold wind whizzed past, and the pungent loose stone powder smell gradually wafted in the air, making people feel more and more uncomfortable.
In the distance, it seems that someone's mourning can be heard, and it sounds continuously.
※※※
Although the situation was tense, the soldiers in the King of War's camp were cheering.
The king of war led his troops into Weng and killed the enemy by surprise.Afterwards, the soldiers led by Yun Ni killed the carbine again, and under the order of the King of War, they turned back to Yicheng on the way from Yicheng to Hancheng.The enemy has gathered all its forces in Hancheng, and the city is empty. This is the best time to capture it.
One side fights with the enemy general, General Mo, while the other side takes back the city.
The camp of the King of War has successfully retreated to the high hill in the east, and everyone stood on the edge of the cliff, watching the fire from afar.The flames shone on everyone's faces, and everyone felt happy in their hearts.
This battle lasted for several months, and at this very moment, the curtain will finally come to an end.
Feng Zhanxiu was wearing armor and stood at the forefront.The cold wind blew, blowing his black hair, and a few strands of hair swirled in the air.Under the firelight all over the sky, his evil and charming profile was resolute and resolute, but the temperature in his eyes was ice-cold.In an instant, a moment of melancholy and forbearance flashed by.
His eyes sank, he turned and walked towards his tent.
The twelve cavalry lined up one by one, bowing their heads respectfully.When Feng Zhanxiu's figure was gone, he turned his head and stared at the sea of flames again.
"The west wind keeps blowing. I'm afraid it won't be long before the poison will hit the whole of Hancheng. It's just that the people of Hancheng are pitiful, and they will not be spared."
I don't know who it is, and suddenly murmured something.
"The battlefield is like this, either you die or I die. If they don't die, we will die." The elder sister said in a cold voice, but there was some helplessness in her words.
Lian Ren, A Jin, and A Guan stood side by side. Hearing this, they suddenly felt the cruelty and danger of war.
Mingzhu has been silent all the time, but at this moment she couldn't help asking, "Is there no way to save it? What does the two armies have to do with ordinary people?"
"That's right!" Ah Jin echoed.
Although Lian Ren and A Guan didn't make a sound, their eyes lit up.
All the girls turned their heads in an instant, looking for their reputation, their eyes resting on the worried faces of the boys.They walked at the same time, walking towards the four beautiful boys tacitly.The slender figure pressed down on them with a sense of menace, the corners of their lips were drawn up, their hands crossed their chests, and they smiled a little weirdly.
June blinked mischievously, and said maliciously, "There is a way! Tong|zi urine can detoxify, should I give you to them?"
"Wait! They may not be boys anymore!" November bent over Ah Guan, looking him up and down.
"Hey? Are you guys right?"
The girls asked jokingly, clearly trying to tease them.
The four of them were suddenly embarrassed, shyness appeared on their handsome faces, and they directly chose to run away.Mingzhu frowned, and was pulled back to the tent by Ah Jin's wrist.The four returned to the tent and finally breathed a sigh of relief.Ah Jin sat down on the ground, while Ah Guan poured a cup of tea and drank it.
"Can a boy's urine really detoxify?" Mingzhu asked softly.
Ah Guan drank water and looked at him, Ah Jin shook his head.
"It should be possible." Lian Ren lay down, closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "My family used to open a medical clinic, so I know something about it."
Mingzhu asked casually again, "Then how should I solve it?"
"If you cover your face with a wet towel, you can survive." Lian Ren answered truthfully. At the end, Fox asked, "You know what these things are for?"
Mingzhu immediately shook her head, and said in an embarrassing manner, "It's nothing, just ask."
"Okay, don't think about these things anymore. Everyone has their own destiny, and now we can only resign ourselves to it. It's late, go to bed." A Guan interrupted their conversation and gave a warning.
The four of them lifted the quilt and slept with their clothes on.
After a long time, the sound of breathing gradually calmed down.
Mingzhu cautiously opened her eyes, and glanced at the three of them, making sure they were asleep, before getting up lightly.She walked out of the tent alone, with a decision in her heart.
The night was dark and windy, and it was freezing cold.
Mingzhu led a horse and walked out of the camp slowly.
All the soldiers in the camp knew this black-haired boy, and even knew that he was the prince's personal attendant.So when he saw him leave the camp, he didn't stop him, but just followed the usual practice and asked him.Mingzhu found an excuse casually, she just said that she was going to pick some wild vegetables for the prince, and she passed the test smoothly.
"Drive—" the black-haired young man shouted, and rode his horse down the mountain.
Bypassing the raging mountain in front of him, he rushed to Hancheng.
It was not yet dawn, and the fire had not eased, and it was still raging.
Ah Jin woke up sleepily, got up and wanted to take a pee.After he came back from urinating, he became less sleepy.Looking around, Lian Ren and Ah Guan are sleeping on their sides, but Ming Zhu is gone.He rubbed his eyes, opened them suddenly and looked again, only then was he sure that he was really gone.
Ah Jin immediately walked out of the tent and walked around in a circle.
But still did not find the figure of Pearl.
For some reason, a bad premonition suddenly appeared in Ah Jin's heart.He immediately ran back to the tent, waking up Lian Ren and A Guan, "Lian Ren! A Guan! Wake up! Don't sleep anymore! Wake up!"
"What's wrong?" A Guan asked hoarsely with his eyes still closed.
Lian Ren snorted and narrowed his eyes to look at him.
"Mingzhu is gone!" Ah Jin roared anxiously, pointing at Mingzhu's bed, "Look, he's gone!"
When Ah Guan heard this, his eyes widened.He looked in the direction of Ah Jin's finger, but Mingzhu was nowhere to be seen. He asked suspiciously, "Could it be that I couldn't sleep and went out for a walk?"
Lian Ren stared at Ming Zhu's sleep, pursed his lips and said nothing.
"I've looked for it, but there isn't one!" Ah Jin replied.
Ah Guan straightened his clothes hastily, and said in a deep voice, "Go outside and ask the soldiers if you have seen the pearl!"
"Okay!" Ah Jin nodded in agreement, and ran out of the tent with Ah Guan.
After a while, the two turned back again.
"What's wrong with Mingzhu? At this moment, he actually rode out of the camp by himself, and said he went to pick wild vegetables for the prince?" A Jin scratched his hair angrily, really worried for him.
Ah Guan felt that things were not simple, but he didn't have a clue for a while.He turned his head to look at Lian Ren, and asked in a deep voice, "Lian Ren, do you know the reason?"
Lian Ren half-lyed up and said thoughtfully, "I'm afraid that kid has done something stupid."
"Stupid thing? What stupid thing?" Ah Jin asked in confusion.
"He went to save the people in Hancheng." Lian Ren's green eyes were deep and deep, and he spit out such a sentence.No wonder I asked about the method of detoxification so carefully, it turned out to be for this!This naive fool!
Ah Guan and Ah Jin were stunned at the same time, and shouted in disbelief, "What?"
"I'll go and tell the prince, you are waiting for me here." Lian Ren said with a frown, lifted the quilt and stood up.As he walked out of the tent, he sorted his clothes.
Looking at Lian Ren's leaving figure, Ah Jin asked uneasily, "Mingzhu...is it okay?"
"I hope." Ah Guan was really worried about Mingzhu, and murmured.
The sky is approaching dawn, but it seems to usher in another night.
In the tent of the King of War, Lian Ren stood respectfully in the center, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, Ming Zhu rode a horse alone and left the camp. He knew that the urine of a boy can detoxify him before, so I am afraid he is going to inform and save Hancheng. The common people. I implore the prince to send someone to stop Mingzhu back!"
"Why does this king want to save him?" Feng Zhanxiu's eyes were dark and bright, and his expression was even more fearless.
"Prince?" Lian Ren was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, only to see his unruly and careless face.what happened?The prince should be very different to Mingzhu!how so!
Feng Zhanxiu shouted, "Back off!"
"Is the prince really going to die?" Lian Ren bit the bullet and asked.
"This king told you to back down! Do you want to die?" He suddenly took a dark breath and uttered cold words.
Lian Ren was stunned for a moment, and after a long time of stalemate, he turned and walked out of the tent.
After a while, Zhongli walked into the tent.
Feng Zhanxiu closed his eyes and was resting his mind. He didn't look at the person who came, and said in a deep voice, "What? Even you came to intercede?" The hand under the sleeve tightly held a night pearl.
"It's chilly at night, my subordinates ordered people to cook ginger soup, and the prince drank a bowl to dispel the cold." Zhongli never mentioned the matter of saving people.
Feng Zhanxiu opened his eyes slowly, and sure enough, he saw a cup of soup in his hand.
"The subordinates don't know why the lord kept the boy by his side, nor what happened between the lord and the boy. But if the lord doesn't save him, I'm afraid the lord will regret it for the rest of his life." A bowl of ginger soup, and then walked up to him with the bowl.
Feng Zhanxiu remained silent, and took the bowl of ginger soup with one hand.
"The prince failed to save the princess. I already have one regret in my heart. Don't have another one." Zhong Lichao took a step back and said sincerely.
Feng Zhanxiu looked down at the bowl in his hand, saw his own faint reflection, and said quietly as if talking to himself, "Sometimes, this king feels that he is just her, and they seem to be one person."
※※※
The cold wind was howling, and there were several figures standing beside the bonfire built outside the tent.
"Isn't the lord planning to save Mingzhu? What should we do?" Ajin asked softly after taking a sip of ginger soup.Logically speaking, it is impossible for the prince to let Mingzhu ignore him!After all, after all, there seems to be some unknown secrets between Mingzhu and the prince.
It is said that it is related to the dead princess.
A Guan rubbed his hands, staring straight at the tent in front of him, "I don't know if General Zhongli succeeded in persuading him."
"Come out!" Lian Ren sharply saw two people coming out of the tent one after the other.
The three immediately greeted them.
Feng Zhan repaired a suit of armor and looked heroic.He looked at the burning red sky not far away, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, play by ear."
What?The prince wants to save Mingzhu himself?The three of them were bored for a moment.
Zhongli clasped his fists and said, "This subordinate obeys orders!"
"My lord!" Twelve cavalrymen approached without anyone noticing, and the whole group was arrogant.All the girls knelt down on one knee and said in unison, "I swear to follow my master to the death!"
Feng Zhanxiu glanced at the 12 of them, and said in a low voice, "Get on the horse!"
"Yes!"
Immediately, a group of people led the colt and jumped on the horse.
Zhongli and Lianren stayed in the camp, watching their disappearing figures, praying silently in their hearts.
The cold wind passed over the cheeks, like a knife cutting.
Feng Zhanxiu rode his horse at the forefront, galloped with a whip, and shuttled through the mountains, followed by twelve cavalrymen.Due to the accumulation of poisonous gas in front, they had to go around the back mountain.In this way, it will take some time to rush to Hancheng.When Mingzhu left, no matter how hard they chased, they would definitely be slower.
Dawn has lifted the curtain, and the air is filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke left over from war.
Although the Twelve Cavalrymen were worried about Mingzhu, they couldn't help but mutter to themselves.
They know that loose stone powder can be detoxified with boy's urine, but don't the enemy soldiers know?
Most of the enemy's barracks are middle-aged men, and boys are a minority, so they will retreat.And in Hancheng, there are naturally boys.It's just that ordinary loose stone powder can indeed be used to detoxify with boy urine, but the loose stone powder they gave has been specially developed, and it needs to be added with a blind grass to detoxify.
If there is only boy's urine, it is completely useless and has no effect.On the contrary, it will also aggravate the poisoning.
Mingzhu is not going to save people, but to make it clear that she is going to die.
There is a long way ahead, and the situation is becoming more and more tense.
※※※
In the distance, the flames are raging.
The city of Hancheng is finally in sight.
After traveling all night, Mingzhu bypassed the mountain and arrived in Hancheng.It's just that there are many soldiers guarding outside Hancheng, and the guards are even stricter.He came in a white suit, and before entering the city, he was stopped by the guarding soldiers, "Who is coming? Get off your horse quickly!"
"Yu—" Mingzhu was out of breath, she let out a light drink, and had no choice but to dismount.
The soldiers rushed forward, pointing their knives and guns at the young man in white.Mingzhu stood alone on the spot, facing countless swords and swords, suddenly thought of Feng Zhanxiu.The Hall of Mental Cultivation also had the same scene that day, with so many swords pointed at him.Thinking about it now, it is so vivid and clear.
Mingzhu was not afraid, and said calmly, "I want to see your general! The poison of the loose stone powder will attack the people in the city, and I know the way to detoxify it!"
The soldiers suddenly gave way in front of them, and the soldiers defending the city walked out slowly with their swords in hand.
"How do you know?" the rough soldier shouted loudly.
Mingzhu straightened her back, "Don't worry about how I know, help is important!"
"Haha! Ridiculous! Loose stone powder is highly poisonous, and you can detoxify it with boy's urine. Do you think you don't know? Tell me! Where did you come from!" It is difficult to distinguish between men and women.Spit and slander, "You are so beautiful, is she a female spy?"
Mingzhu was stunned when she heard this, she was like an ant on a hot pot, lost her sense of proportion.
Yes, everyone knows that children's urine can be highly poisonous with loose stone powder.How could they not know?How could she rush out like an idiot without hesitation.What should I do now?She was in a dilemma, facing the enemy's siege, panicked and helpless.
"Say! Are you a spy! What are you here for! Arrest this kid!" The soldier raised his sword and pointed at the black-haired boy.
Mingzhu couldn't help but took a step back, she couldn't fly.
At this time, a group of people came running not far away, and there was a crowd of black crows.
The soldiers guarding the city fought cautiously, but they saw the big banner with the word "Mo".The tough soldier immediately recognized the person coming, clasped his fists and shouted, "General!"
"General!" The soldiers in Hancheng knelt down and shouted in unison.
Mingzhu turned her head to look, and saw the leader, General Mo Kang, in armor and with a gray beard.
She only met General Mo Kang once, and that was Dong Xiaotian's wedding day.
The team rushed towards Hancheng, and Mo Kang rode on the horse, glanced at the soldiers, and shouted at the soldiers, "General Xiang, the enemy has sprinkled loose stone powder, and the poison is coming, let the people in the city evacuate here quickly !"
"General! What is there to be afraid of loose stone powder, just a child's urine can detoxify!" The soldier raised his head and said.
Mo Kang raised his eyebrows, and shouted again, "Will Feng Zhanxiu allow us to detoxify easily? This loose stone powder must have been mixed with other things! I'm afraid the boy's urine will not be able to detoxify, but it will intensify the toxicity instead!"
"What?" The soldier's eyes widened, a little carelessly.He scanned the surroundings in a panic, his eyes resting on the black-haired boy.He strode forward, grabbed the skirt of his shirt, lifted the boy up, and shouted, "Say it quickly! You spy! How to detoxify!"
Mingzhu was lifted by him forcefully, breathing was difficult for a while, and he felt uncomfortable, "..."
"You say this boy is a spy?" Mo Kang looked at the black-haired boy in disbelief, staring at him with his old eyes, and looked him up and down.No matter how you look at it, he is just a weak boy, so how can he be a spy?Could it be that he has a unique skill and deliberately concealed his ability?
The soldiers immediately replied, "General! This young man came from nowhere, and he brazenly claimed that he knew the way to detoxify!"
Mingzhu blushed and couldn't even make a sound.
"Put this boy down first!" Mo Kang said thoughtfully.
Hearing the order, the soldiers loosened their grip, and the boy fell to the ground like a puppet.
"Cough—cough cough—" Mingzhu coughed continuously.
Mo Kang stared down at the young man, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you really know how to detoxify?"
"Now... I don't know." Mingzhu said intermittently, with a frustrated tone.If General Mo Kang said that boy's urine cannot completely detoxify, then she doesn't know how to detoxify.
The soldiers were annoyed for a while, and felt that they were being teased.He raised his foot and kicked the young man hard, and shouted in a rough voice, "See if I won't kill you!"
"Doesn't the general want to save the people in the whole city?" Mingzhu shouted anxiously.
"General Xiang! Wait a minute!" Mo Kang stopped the soldiers from hacking and killing, and Fox asked, "Do you have a way to detoxify?"
Mingzhu gritted her teeth and said, "I don't have it! But the prince does!"
"Feng Zhanxiu?" Mo Kang was even more surprised.
Mingzhu nodded resolutely, but she didn't believe in herself, but in him.
Feng Zhanxiu, I believe in you, as always.
(End of this chapter)
When Mingzhu heard this, Mu Nana looked at him, seemingly in disbelief.
In the world, how can there be a mother who doesn't love her child?But the expression on his face is by no means like a lie, and he is full of hatred, all caused by the tragic end of his parents, so he bears blood and blood.He loves them so much that he doesn't make fun of them.
Mingzhu turned to face him, and said in a trembling voice, "My lord heard wrong..."
"She said it herself, not only did I hear it correctly, but I also heard it clearly." Feng Zhanxiu said in a calm and clear tone with the corners of his lips fluttering.This pain also slowly precipitated with the tempering of time, became distant and could no longer be touched.
Mingzhu didn't know what to do for a while, and had mixed feelings in her heart.
What had his mother said to him?
How could this be?
Feng Zhanxiu looked at the bright moon and silently withdrew his gaze.He turned and strolled toward his tent.Under the light of the bonfire, the tall figure seemed to be flickering, a little unreal.His lonely figure gradually submerged, as if melting into this darkness.
Mingzhu stared at his receding figure, hesitating and hesitating.
Suddenly taking a step forward, she shouted, "My lord!"
He couldn't help but stop, but he didn't look back.Then he continued to walk forward and walked forward.
Seeing this, Mingzhu suddenly ran towards him.She ran so fast, so fast, that even her breathing became short of breath.And he was getting closer and closer to her, she stretched out her hand anxiously and reached out to him.She wanted to hug him, but in the end she let go of the thought, and just grabbed the hem of his clothes.
She could clearly hear her own heartbeat.Plop plop.
Feng Zhanxiu stood on the spot and straightened his back.He looked peaceful, but there was a glimmer of darkness in his eyes.
"In this world, every mother loves her child. Even if she said it herself, there must be a reason." Mingzhu lowered her head, her voice choked up, "She loves you very much, please believe me."
A young man's hoarse voice came to his ears from behind, but Feng Zhanxiu still responded silently.
It was just something that crashed into my heart all of a sudden, causing ripples that could no longer be calmed down.
It's been a long time.
Mingzhu let go of her hand in embarrassment, only then did she realize her gaffe.She clenched her hands into fists and murmured in panic, "I... that... this..."
She was at a loss and didn't know how to proceed.
"It's getting late, I'll go back and rest first." In the end, I had to say this.
Mingzhu took a step forward and ran past him quickly.
When she passed by him, Feng Zhanxiu suddenly grabbed the boy's wrist.Mingzhu looked back at him in astonishment, panic flickered in her eyes, "My lord..."
"I think you look like a person." He let go of his hand, looked at the young man tenderly, and said quietly.
The starlight from the entire night sky seemed to fall into his eyes, which immediately hurt Mingzhu's eyes and hurt her heart.
Mingzhu had no choice but to pretend to be curious, and Fox asked, "Who?"
"A person... whom you have never dreamed of again." Feng Zhanxiu's male voice was very deep and dissipated in the wind.
※※※
The sun rises, the shade is green, and there is a fork in front of it.
"My lord! Let's go!" Zhongli pulled up the reins and shouted at Feng Zhanxiu.
Feng Zhanxiu raised his forehead silently, his brows were awe-inspiring.
Zhongli immediately took orders and led [-] elite soldiers towards Hancheng.And Feng Zhanxiu led other soldiers to attack Shu City. The closer to Shu City, the more severe the temperature difference between day and night.During the day, it was still a bit stuffy, but at night, it was so cold that my teeth chattered.The perennial fog made the march even more difficult.
Just after nightfall, the eldest sister of the Twelve Cavalry led one hundred brave soldiers to form a sniper squad, and the target was the enemy camp ten miles away.
According to the reports of the soldiers during the day, the camp was set up by the enemy to observe our actions, and there were a thousand soldiers in the camp.
The night was dark and the wind was high, and a group of people headed towards the enemy camp.
Inside the tent, Mingzhu, Lianren, Ajin and Aguan waited quietly.The atmosphere tonight feels particularly different and solemn.Perhaps because this was the beginning of the war, Feng Zhanxiu provoked the fuse.After tonight, they will face a bloody scene.
It was the fourth watch, and no one was in the mood to sleep.
Lian Ren sat on the side wiping his dagger, his eyes lowered.
"Big sister will be fine, right?" Ah Jin couldn't help asking.
Ah Guan nodded and gave an affirmative answer, "Of course."
Although they had only followed Feng Zhanxiu for a few months, they had an unusual feeling for this brave and invincible prince.Men were on the battlefield, and now they are on the battlefield.It's just that they are too young to become a member of the sergeant, which is really annoying.
"I'm going out for a walk." Mingzhu was fidgeting, and simply stood up and walked out of the tent.
Outside the tent, soldiers patrolled cautiously back and forth, always on alert.
Mingzhu stopped suddenly, and involuntarily turned her head to look at Feng Zhanxiu's tent.After a while, she looked away.Just when he turned around, there was a tall figure standing in front of him.Mingzhu didn't expect it and was taken aback.She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw who was coming.
"My lord." She called softly.
Feng Zhanxiu glanced at her, and said casually, "You are restlessly staying in the tent, what are you doing out there?"
"Come out for a walk." She answered in a general way.
Feng Zhanxiu only looked at a certain place in the distance, and said in a deep voice, "Go back to sleep."
"Can't sleep." Mingzhu confessed honestly, without continuing to be vague, "I'm worried, so I can't sleep. Isn't the prince worried about them? That's why I haven't slept yet!"
Feng Zhanxiu chuckled and said in a low voice, "I'm not worried."
Mingzhu looked at him suspiciously, but saw that he drew the corners of his lips, showing an arc of absolute confidence.
She immediately understood that he was waiting for the news of victory in this battle!
It was almost five o'clock, the sky was slightly brighter, and dawn was coming.
Feng Zhanxiu stood there, motionless.
His gaze has been looking at the direction just now, without shifting.
The temperature was getting lower and lower, and the fog shrouded the whole body, and the black hair was wet.And Mingzhu was shivering from the cold, and her little face began to turn pale.It was so cold, she had to rub her hands from time to time, lower her head and take a breath, trying to resist the cold, but found it was useless.
"Huh!" Mingzhu let out another cloud of white gas.
Feng Zhanxiu shouted, "Go into the tent!"
"I'm not cold." Hearing his scolding, Mingzhu said bravely.
Feng Zhanxiu was silent, no longer speaking, but glanced at him vaguely out of the corner of his eye.He turned around and walked towards his tent.Seeing him turn around, she turned around naturally and followed him into the tent.At this moment, Mingzhu looked at his tall back, her thoughts turned, and she was suddenly taken aback.
Could it be that he was afraid that she would be cold?That's why...
She raised the corners of her mouth in joy, her heart warmed slightly.
Inside the tent, Mingzhu sat on one side obediently, covered her face with her hands, and covered her face from the cold.
Feng Zhanxiu threw the cloak at him casually, still silent.
"Thank you, my lord." Mingzhu hugged the cloak and thanked softly.
The cloak was too big, making him look even smaller when draped over him.He was originally a beautiful boy, and the soul residing in his body was a woman. In a trance, there was always a kind of weakness and softness.Mingzhu didn't notice her strangeness, but Feng Zhanxiu's sharp eyes burst out with a gleam of light.
After a while, it was too late to wait for January to lead the troops back.
Mingzhu turned her head to look at Feng Zhanxiu who was sitting in the middle, but seeing that he was acting calmly, she couldn't help asking softly, "My lord, will anything happen?"
Feng Zhanxiu ignored it, his sword eyebrows were sharp.
Mingzhu pursed her mouth in boredom and lowered her head.
In the next second, someone reached out and lifted the curtain and walked into the tent.
It's January.
Mingzhu looked at January in surprise, and was relieved to see that she was safe and sound.
The night clothes that January was wearing were torn and torn, and were covered with blood, and the smell of blood was faintly diffused, very thick.There were several long and narrow scars on her delicate cheeks, but they were slightly dry.The wound on the wrist was more serious, and it was forced to be bandaged with cloth strips torn from clothes indiscriminately, and the blood had already penetrated.
Holding something in her right hand, she knelt down on the ground and said respectfully, "Report to the lord! All the enemy troops were wiped out, leaving no one behind! Here are the heads of the enemy soldiers, please give me instructions."
"Give it to General Mo immediately, and tell General Mo that this is a gift from this king to meet him!" Feng Zhanxiu said in a deep voice, cruel and cold-blooded.
"Yes!" January clasped her fists and replied.
As soon as Mingzhu heard this, her little face that was bloody just now suddenly turned pale again.She looked at the thing in January's right hand, and thought that the thing wrapped in the clothes turned out to be a human head, and she felt nauseated in her stomach.She stood up abruptly, covered her little face and ran out of the tent.
The cloak slipped from his shoulders and fell to the ground.
※※※
The assault was successful, and the soldiers of the whole army were in high spirits.
"Ouch—" Mingzhu ran out of the tent, holding on to the corner and retching.
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, unable to accept such a cruel war, her body resisted instinctively, and her heart reflexively rejected it.If there were only killing and ruthlessness between people, then what would be left in this world.How many people will feel resentful after death and cannot rest in peace.
Suddenly, heavy footsteps sounded behind him, and someone approached quietly.
A clean handkerchief was handed to him.
Mingzhu stared blankly at the handkerchief, then turned to look at the person who came.
Perhaps because of the fog, Lian Ren's handsome face was a little hazy.He was wearing a navy blue robe, and he looked clean and clear.A beautiful young man with some childish facial features, but his expression was strangely calm, with a calmness and persistence that didn't match his age.
Lian Ren didn't ask much, but said softly, "Let's go. Clean up, it's time to start."
Mingzhu nodded and followed him to the tent not far away.
As soon as the two walked into the tent, they heard Ah Jin yelling excitedly, "The eldest sister is indeed the eldest sister, and led the soldiers to wipe out all the enemy troops overnight! Awesome!"
"And brought back the heads of the enemy soldiers!" Ah Guan said in a low voice.
"Head?" Ah Jin's scalp was numb, and the excitement just now stopped.
As Guan packed his luggage, he said, "The prince ordered someone to send the head. It is said that he wants to give the enemy general a blow! Everyone is very excited!"
"So that's how it is." Ah Jin replied, and began to pack his luggage.
A Guan looked up at Lian Ren and Ming Zhu, and said, "Hurry up, we're leaving soon!"
It was still dark, and the large army began to move forward again.
The atmosphere of the war became more and more stagnant.
Feng Zhanxiu and Yun Ni rode their horses and pattered forward, and the twelve cavalry were scattered in front of and behind the team for easy response.In the whole army, in the only carriage, four beautiful boys sat safely.Ah Jin and Ah Guan chatted without saying a word, while Lian Ren sat on the side with his eyes closed.
Mingzhu curled up and stopped talking from the beginning to the end.
At noon, the team rested along the road, and the fire fighters began to prepare the food for the whole army.
Mingzhu and the other three also started cooking as usual.Mingzhu stared blankly at the pot, but did not move for a long time.In her ears, the ruthless words were still circling.And in her mind, she could still picture a terrifying scene of killing.This is too cruel and too terrifying...
She didn't come back to herself until someone patted her on the shoulder.
"This is war. You can only go forward, and there is no way to retreat. Because if you retreat, there is only one end, and that is death." Lian Ren said in a deep voice with sharp green eyes.
Mingzhu was stunned for a while, and suddenly smiled again, "So, life can be as cheap as grass, as humble as dust?"
She laughed at herself, but also weakly.
"Unless someone unifies this continent, there will be no more wars." Looking at his vain smile, Lian Ren said in a deep voice, "Even if it is not the prince, someone will naturally fight!"
Mingzhu didn't understand at all, and asked, "Why?"
"Each has their own country, as long as the country is peaceful and the people are safe and the weather is good, isn't it all right? Why do we have to fight in all directions? It is laborious and costly! Have you ever thought about those parents who lost their children, wives who lost their husbands, lost What should I do if I have lost my father's child?"
"Because of power, because I want to dominate the world!" Lian Ren narrowed his eyes and pointed out sharply, "No king of a country will allow someone who is stronger than him, or that person is as powerful as him!"
Mingzhu was tongue-tied, and suddenly she had no rebuttal words, but she was also awakened by him.
She suddenly thought of Hongdi and Dong Xiaotian.
At that time, Emperor Hong married himself to Feng Zhanxiu precisely because he was afraid of Feng Zhanxiu's power.And Dong Xiaotian was frank with her once, it was indeed because he was not strong enough.Even in the end, he would suddenly renege on the agreement, even if he got the soldier talisman, he would kill them all because of this!
——The king of no country will allow someone to be stronger than himself, or that person to be as powerful as himself!
Feng Zhanxiu definitely belongs to the former, his strength is enough to make people tremble.
Mingzhu suddenly wakes up, but finds that she doesn't know what to do, she just feels lonely and desolate.
"The current war may be cruel, but it is for the prosperity and peace of the future. There should be such a king to unify the continent and stop the war completely." Lian Ren's eyes are particularly bright, with infinite yearning and expectations.
He bent his eyes and said firmly, "If it's the prince, it will definitely be possible."
Mingzhu looked at him, and murmured hesitantly, "I don't know..."
The unification of prosperity and peace should have tens of millions of lives sacrificed.
Whether it's worth it or not, she doesn't know.
Perhaps, no one has ever been able to give a definite answer.But she knew that his war was only because of hatred.
※※※
In the ninth month of the Xiao Year, the King of War surrendered to Prince Rui, and then raised his troops to attack the Daxing Dynasty in one fell swoop.After marching for several months, the army of the King of War and the army of the Daxing Dynasty officially launched a fierce battle.Daxing will be led by Mo Kang and General Mo to fight this time.The two armies fought, a slaughter, a catastrophe.
In the blink of an eye, it is already December.
In December, it was the time when the sky was cold and the ground was freezing, but it was full of flames.
In the city of Yicheng, Mo Kang and several generals and counselors are discussing the enemy's attack situation in the mansion.
Suddenly, a soldier bowed his head and rushed into the hall, "General! Hancheng is under attack!"
"I expected this a long time ago! There is a general guarding Hancheng, and it will not be captured for a while! Ziyang and Munan, you two immediately lead troops to outflank and attack from the left and right! This time, I will let Feng Zhan Xiu Ma stumbled and was in a dilemma!" Mo Kang stroked his beard and said in a deep voice.
The two immediately knelt down on the ground on one knee, took the soldier talisman and said, "Your subordinate obeys!"
"Go quickly!"
"Yes!" The two got up, turned and ran out of the hall.
"Wait!" Mo Kang thought of something and shouted again.The two soldiers turned their heads and waited quietly, and he then instructed, "Remember, don't hurt Feng Zhanxiu's life!"
The two soldiers finally left. Fei Zhong, the counselor at the side, turned his head to look at Mo Kang, and said in a low voice, "The general treats him kindly and cannot bear to kill him. I'm afraid he..."
"Fei Zhong!" Mo Kang shouted, and said with emotion, "Although Feng Zhanxiu's temperament is withdrawn and arrogant, he is indeed a rare general!"
Although Fei Zhong recognized Feng Zhanxiu's bravery, he also exhorted worriedly, "General, the emperor has issued a death order."
"Now, the bones of the first emperor and the princess are not cold, and Prime Minister Liu is ambitious, and he only interferes with the government affairs! The emperor needs generals!" Sitting on the chair, Mo Kang squinted his eyes and said, "If I can make him return to obedience, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? matter? As for the emperor, I will naturally strongly recommend it!"
"It's hard to be a general!" Fei Zhong said with a bow.
……
On the hills thousands of miles away from the city, the army of the King of War was scattered and stationed here for ten days.As the enemy has approached, the whole army is in a state of readiness at any time.At the end of the bush path, there are cavalry coming.The soldiers patrolling around saw the token in each other's hands, and then allowed the cavalry to dismount.
The cavalryman rushed into the tent covered in blood, and hurriedly replied, "My lord! The enemy flanks from left to right, and we are attacked from front and back! All the generals ask the lord for instructions!"
After the voice fell, the knight was overwhelmed and fell to the ground.
The soldiers carried the cavalry out and rushed to treat him.
Inside the tent, everyone looked at Feng Zhanxiu, waiting for him to speak.
Feng Zhanxiu looked straight ahead with his deep eyes, moved his lips suddenly, and said in a deep voice, "Kill him back!"
Everyone took a deep breath and roared, "Yes!"
Immediately, Zhanwang's army rushed to Hancheng to rescue Zhongli and his party.
After dozens of days of running around day and night, Zhan Wang's army arrived smoothly, joined forces with a group of soldiers led by Zhong Lisuo, and defeated a total of [-] soldiers led by Zi Yang and Mu Nan.As for Yicheng, General Mokang received the news and personally led his troops to follow behind, preparing for the praying mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole to follow behind.
The generals of the two armies met in person on the battlefield. At this critical moment, a decisive battle is coming.
The hillside in front of Hancheng is full of trees, which is good for soldiers to hide, but it is also easy to be ambushed.Fengzhan Xiuming's twelve cavalry led teams of ten each, carefully avoiding the enemy's prying and watching, and planted loose stone powder around them.Loose stone powder itself is low in toxicity, but once it is burned, it is extremely toxic.
In such a forested place, it is probably the only way to wipe out the enemy without hurting a single soldier.
It was night, and the lit torch was thrown down, and a flame was ignited, and a line of fire quickly sprang up, spreading and burning along the scattered loose stone powder.
The westerly wind came up again, and the westerly wind howled and blew violently. The fire intensified and could no longer be stopped.
Not long after, one mountain top after another was burned.
Against the backdrop of the fire, the sky was lit up.
"General! The enemy has sprinkled loose stone powder all around. Now the westerly wind is blowing again, and the fire is getting stronger and stronger! The loose stone powder is highly poisonous and deadly after being burned. Please, general, evacuate this place quickly!" The soldiers rushed into the tent, hurriedly Reported back.
Mo Kang's thick eyebrows were tightly frowned, his eyes were lowered in thought, but he was hesitant.
When the westerly wind blows, the loose stone powder is highly poisonous and blows towards Hancheng, so what should the people of Hancheng do?
"General! If you don't leave, I'm afraid the whole army will be annihilated!" The situation was too tense, Fei Zhong couldn't help turning his head and shouting.
Mo Kang was over fifty, he was wearing battle armor, with a silver beard, and he was even more upright.He picked up the helmet in front of him, put it on his head violently, and shouted in a deep voice, "You guys immediately lead the soldiers to evacuate from this place, leaving a thousand elite soldiers to follow the old man to Hancheng to evacuate the people!"
"General!" Everyone exclaimed when they heard him say that.
Mo Kang made a decision in his heart, glanced at everyone one by one, and said firmly, "Zi Yang, I appointed you as the deputy general to lead the sergeants to evacuate! Immediately! Immediately! Now! Withdraw!"
"General!" Everyone bowed to the ground, refusing to leave, "General, please think twice!"
Mo Kang stretched out his hand to pat the case, and shouted sharply, "This is a military order!"
When these four words came out, everyone was startled and had no choice but to keep quiet.
"Your subordinates obey!" Everyone stood up slowly, their brows were furrowed, and they turned around and ran out of the tent after all.
Outside the tent, the scene was chaotic.The soldiers quickly withdrew from the camp and rushed back to Yicheng.And this fiery sky, mixed with rumbling smoke, glowed with bursts of red light.The cold wind whizzed past, and the pungent loose stone powder smell gradually wafted in the air, making people feel more and more uncomfortable.
In the distance, it seems that someone's mourning can be heard, and it sounds continuously.
※※※
Although the situation was tense, the soldiers in the King of War's camp were cheering.
The king of war led his troops into Weng and killed the enemy by surprise.Afterwards, the soldiers led by Yun Ni killed the carbine again, and under the order of the King of War, they turned back to Yicheng on the way from Yicheng to Hancheng.The enemy has gathered all its forces in Hancheng, and the city is empty. This is the best time to capture it.
One side fights with the enemy general, General Mo, while the other side takes back the city.
The camp of the King of War has successfully retreated to the high hill in the east, and everyone stood on the edge of the cliff, watching the fire from afar.The flames shone on everyone's faces, and everyone felt happy in their hearts.
This battle lasted for several months, and at this very moment, the curtain will finally come to an end.
Feng Zhanxiu was wearing armor and stood at the forefront.The cold wind blew, blowing his black hair, and a few strands of hair swirled in the air.Under the firelight all over the sky, his evil and charming profile was resolute and resolute, but the temperature in his eyes was ice-cold.In an instant, a moment of melancholy and forbearance flashed by.
His eyes sank, he turned and walked towards his tent.
The twelve cavalry lined up one by one, bowing their heads respectfully.When Feng Zhanxiu's figure was gone, he turned his head and stared at the sea of flames again.
"The west wind keeps blowing. I'm afraid it won't be long before the poison will hit the whole of Hancheng. It's just that the people of Hancheng are pitiful, and they will not be spared."
I don't know who it is, and suddenly murmured something.
"The battlefield is like this, either you die or I die. If they don't die, we will die." The elder sister said in a cold voice, but there was some helplessness in her words.
Lian Ren, A Jin, and A Guan stood side by side. Hearing this, they suddenly felt the cruelty and danger of war.
Mingzhu has been silent all the time, but at this moment she couldn't help asking, "Is there no way to save it? What does the two armies have to do with ordinary people?"
"That's right!" Ah Jin echoed.
Although Lian Ren and A Guan didn't make a sound, their eyes lit up.
All the girls turned their heads in an instant, looking for their reputation, their eyes resting on the worried faces of the boys.They walked at the same time, walking towards the four beautiful boys tacitly.The slender figure pressed down on them with a sense of menace, the corners of their lips were drawn up, their hands crossed their chests, and they smiled a little weirdly.
June blinked mischievously, and said maliciously, "There is a way! Tong|zi urine can detoxify, should I give you to them?"
"Wait! They may not be boys anymore!" November bent over Ah Guan, looking him up and down.
"Hey? Are you guys right?"
The girls asked jokingly, clearly trying to tease them.
The four of them were suddenly embarrassed, shyness appeared on their handsome faces, and they directly chose to run away.Mingzhu frowned, and was pulled back to the tent by Ah Jin's wrist.The four returned to the tent and finally breathed a sigh of relief.Ah Jin sat down on the ground, while Ah Guan poured a cup of tea and drank it.
"Can a boy's urine really detoxify?" Mingzhu asked softly.
Ah Guan drank water and looked at him, Ah Jin shook his head.
"It should be possible." Lian Ren lay down, closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "My family used to open a medical clinic, so I know something about it."
Mingzhu asked casually again, "Then how should I solve it?"
"If you cover your face with a wet towel, you can survive." Lian Ren answered truthfully. At the end, Fox asked, "You know what these things are for?"
Mingzhu immediately shook her head, and said in an embarrassing manner, "It's nothing, just ask."
"Okay, don't think about these things anymore. Everyone has their own destiny, and now we can only resign ourselves to it. It's late, go to bed." A Guan interrupted their conversation and gave a warning.
The four of them lifted the quilt and slept with their clothes on.
After a long time, the sound of breathing gradually calmed down.
Mingzhu cautiously opened her eyes, and glanced at the three of them, making sure they were asleep, before getting up lightly.She walked out of the tent alone, with a decision in her heart.
The night was dark and windy, and it was freezing cold.
Mingzhu led a horse and walked out of the camp slowly.
All the soldiers in the camp knew this black-haired boy, and even knew that he was the prince's personal attendant.So when he saw him leave the camp, he didn't stop him, but just followed the usual practice and asked him.Mingzhu found an excuse casually, she just said that she was going to pick some wild vegetables for the prince, and she passed the test smoothly.
"Drive—" the black-haired young man shouted, and rode his horse down the mountain.
Bypassing the raging mountain in front of him, he rushed to Hancheng.
It was not yet dawn, and the fire had not eased, and it was still raging.
Ah Jin woke up sleepily, got up and wanted to take a pee.After he came back from urinating, he became less sleepy.Looking around, Lian Ren and Ah Guan are sleeping on their sides, but Ming Zhu is gone.He rubbed his eyes, opened them suddenly and looked again, only then was he sure that he was really gone.
Ah Jin immediately walked out of the tent and walked around in a circle.
But still did not find the figure of Pearl.
For some reason, a bad premonition suddenly appeared in Ah Jin's heart.He immediately ran back to the tent, waking up Lian Ren and A Guan, "Lian Ren! A Guan! Wake up! Don't sleep anymore! Wake up!"
"What's wrong?" A Guan asked hoarsely with his eyes still closed.
Lian Ren snorted and narrowed his eyes to look at him.
"Mingzhu is gone!" Ah Jin roared anxiously, pointing at Mingzhu's bed, "Look, he's gone!"
When Ah Guan heard this, his eyes widened.He looked in the direction of Ah Jin's finger, but Mingzhu was nowhere to be seen. He asked suspiciously, "Could it be that I couldn't sleep and went out for a walk?"
Lian Ren stared at Ming Zhu's sleep, pursed his lips and said nothing.
"I've looked for it, but there isn't one!" Ah Jin replied.
Ah Guan straightened his clothes hastily, and said in a deep voice, "Go outside and ask the soldiers if you have seen the pearl!"
"Okay!" Ah Jin nodded in agreement, and ran out of the tent with Ah Guan.
After a while, the two turned back again.
"What's wrong with Mingzhu? At this moment, he actually rode out of the camp by himself, and said he went to pick wild vegetables for the prince?" A Jin scratched his hair angrily, really worried for him.
Ah Guan felt that things were not simple, but he didn't have a clue for a while.He turned his head to look at Lian Ren, and asked in a deep voice, "Lian Ren, do you know the reason?"
Lian Ren half-lyed up and said thoughtfully, "I'm afraid that kid has done something stupid."
"Stupid thing? What stupid thing?" Ah Jin asked in confusion.
"He went to save the people in Hancheng." Lian Ren's green eyes were deep and deep, and he spit out such a sentence.No wonder I asked about the method of detoxification so carefully, it turned out to be for this!This naive fool!
Ah Guan and Ah Jin were stunned at the same time, and shouted in disbelief, "What?"
"I'll go and tell the prince, you are waiting for me here." Lian Ren said with a frown, lifted the quilt and stood up.As he walked out of the tent, he sorted his clothes.
Looking at Lian Ren's leaving figure, Ah Jin asked uneasily, "Mingzhu...is it okay?"
"I hope." Ah Guan was really worried about Mingzhu, and murmured.
The sky is approaching dawn, but it seems to usher in another night.
In the tent of the King of War, Lian Ren stood respectfully in the center, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, Ming Zhu rode a horse alone and left the camp. He knew that the urine of a boy can detoxify him before, so I am afraid he is going to inform and save Hancheng. The common people. I implore the prince to send someone to stop Mingzhu back!"
"Why does this king want to save him?" Feng Zhanxiu's eyes were dark and bright, and his expression was even more fearless.
"Prince?" Lian Ren was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, only to see his unruly and careless face.what happened?The prince should be very different to Mingzhu!how so!
Feng Zhanxiu shouted, "Back off!"
"Is the prince really going to die?" Lian Ren bit the bullet and asked.
"This king told you to back down! Do you want to die?" He suddenly took a dark breath and uttered cold words.
Lian Ren was stunned for a moment, and after a long time of stalemate, he turned and walked out of the tent.
After a while, Zhongli walked into the tent.
Feng Zhanxiu closed his eyes and was resting his mind. He didn't look at the person who came, and said in a deep voice, "What? Even you came to intercede?" The hand under the sleeve tightly held a night pearl.
"It's chilly at night, my subordinates ordered people to cook ginger soup, and the prince drank a bowl to dispel the cold." Zhongli never mentioned the matter of saving people.
Feng Zhanxiu opened his eyes slowly, and sure enough, he saw a cup of soup in his hand.
"The subordinates don't know why the lord kept the boy by his side, nor what happened between the lord and the boy. But if the lord doesn't save him, I'm afraid the lord will regret it for the rest of his life." A bowl of ginger soup, and then walked up to him with the bowl.
Feng Zhanxiu remained silent, and took the bowl of ginger soup with one hand.
"The prince failed to save the princess. I already have one regret in my heart. Don't have another one." Zhong Lichao took a step back and said sincerely.
Feng Zhanxiu looked down at the bowl in his hand, saw his own faint reflection, and said quietly as if talking to himself, "Sometimes, this king feels that he is just her, and they seem to be one person."
※※※
The cold wind was howling, and there were several figures standing beside the bonfire built outside the tent.
"Isn't the lord planning to save Mingzhu? What should we do?" Ajin asked softly after taking a sip of ginger soup.Logically speaking, it is impossible for the prince to let Mingzhu ignore him!After all, after all, there seems to be some unknown secrets between Mingzhu and the prince.
It is said that it is related to the dead princess.
A Guan rubbed his hands, staring straight at the tent in front of him, "I don't know if General Zhongli succeeded in persuading him."
"Come out!" Lian Ren sharply saw two people coming out of the tent one after the other.
The three immediately greeted them.
Feng Zhan repaired a suit of armor and looked heroic.He looked at the burning red sky not far away, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, play by ear."
What?The prince wants to save Mingzhu himself?The three of them were bored for a moment.
Zhongli clasped his fists and said, "This subordinate obeys orders!"
"My lord!" Twelve cavalrymen approached without anyone noticing, and the whole group was arrogant.All the girls knelt down on one knee and said in unison, "I swear to follow my master to the death!"
Feng Zhanxiu glanced at the 12 of them, and said in a low voice, "Get on the horse!"
"Yes!"
Immediately, a group of people led the colt and jumped on the horse.
Zhongli and Lianren stayed in the camp, watching their disappearing figures, praying silently in their hearts.
The cold wind passed over the cheeks, like a knife cutting.
Feng Zhanxiu rode his horse at the forefront, galloped with a whip, and shuttled through the mountains, followed by twelve cavalrymen.Due to the accumulation of poisonous gas in front, they had to go around the back mountain.In this way, it will take some time to rush to Hancheng.When Mingzhu left, no matter how hard they chased, they would definitely be slower.
Dawn has lifted the curtain, and the air is filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke left over from war.
Although the Twelve Cavalrymen were worried about Mingzhu, they couldn't help but mutter to themselves.
They know that loose stone powder can be detoxified with boy's urine, but don't the enemy soldiers know?
Most of the enemy's barracks are middle-aged men, and boys are a minority, so they will retreat.And in Hancheng, there are naturally boys.It's just that ordinary loose stone powder can indeed be used to detoxify with boy urine, but the loose stone powder they gave has been specially developed, and it needs to be added with a blind grass to detoxify.
If there is only boy's urine, it is completely useless and has no effect.On the contrary, it will also aggravate the poisoning.
Mingzhu is not going to save people, but to make it clear that she is going to die.
There is a long way ahead, and the situation is becoming more and more tense.
※※※
In the distance, the flames are raging.
The city of Hancheng is finally in sight.
After traveling all night, Mingzhu bypassed the mountain and arrived in Hancheng.It's just that there are many soldiers guarding outside Hancheng, and the guards are even stricter.He came in a white suit, and before entering the city, he was stopped by the guarding soldiers, "Who is coming? Get off your horse quickly!"
"Yu—" Mingzhu was out of breath, she let out a light drink, and had no choice but to dismount.
The soldiers rushed forward, pointing their knives and guns at the young man in white.Mingzhu stood alone on the spot, facing countless swords and swords, suddenly thought of Feng Zhanxiu.The Hall of Mental Cultivation also had the same scene that day, with so many swords pointed at him.Thinking about it now, it is so vivid and clear.
Mingzhu was not afraid, and said calmly, "I want to see your general! The poison of the loose stone powder will attack the people in the city, and I know the way to detoxify it!"
The soldiers suddenly gave way in front of them, and the soldiers defending the city walked out slowly with their swords in hand.
"How do you know?" the rough soldier shouted loudly.
Mingzhu straightened her back, "Don't worry about how I know, help is important!"
"Haha! Ridiculous! Loose stone powder is highly poisonous, and you can detoxify it with boy's urine. Do you think you don't know? Tell me! Where did you come from!" It is difficult to distinguish between men and women.Spit and slander, "You are so beautiful, is she a female spy?"
Mingzhu was stunned when she heard this, she was like an ant on a hot pot, lost her sense of proportion.
Yes, everyone knows that children's urine can be highly poisonous with loose stone powder.How could they not know?How could she rush out like an idiot without hesitation.What should I do now?She was in a dilemma, facing the enemy's siege, panicked and helpless.
"Say! Are you a spy! What are you here for! Arrest this kid!" The soldier raised his sword and pointed at the black-haired boy.
Mingzhu couldn't help but took a step back, she couldn't fly.
At this time, a group of people came running not far away, and there was a crowd of black crows.
The soldiers guarding the city fought cautiously, but they saw the big banner with the word "Mo".The tough soldier immediately recognized the person coming, clasped his fists and shouted, "General!"
"General!" The soldiers in Hancheng knelt down and shouted in unison.
Mingzhu turned her head to look, and saw the leader, General Mo Kang, in armor and with a gray beard.
She only met General Mo Kang once, and that was Dong Xiaotian's wedding day.
The team rushed towards Hancheng, and Mo Kang rode on the horse, glanced at the soldiers, and shouted at the soldiers, "General Xiang, the enemy has sprinkled loose stone powder, and the poison is coming, let the people in the city evacuate here quickly !"
"General! What is there to be afraid of loose stone powder, just a child's urine can detoxify!" The soldier raised his head and said.
Mo Kang raised his eyebrows, and shouted again, "Will Feng Zhanxiu allow us to detoxify easily? This loose stone powder must have been mixed with other things! I'm afraid the boy's urine will not be able to detoxify, but it will intensify the toxicity instead!"
"What?" The soldier's eyes widened, a little carelessly.He scanned the surroundings in a panic, his eyes resting on the black-haired boy.He strode forward, grabbed the skirt of his shirt, lifted the boy up, and shouted, "Say it quickly! You spy! How to detoxify!"
Mingzhu was lifted by him forcefully, breathing was difficult for a while, and he felt uncomfortable, "..."
"You say this boy is a spy?" Mo Kang looked at the black-haired boy in disbelief, staring at him with his old eyes, and looked him up and down.No matter how you look at it, he is just a weak boy, so how can he be a spy?Could it be that he has a unique skill and deliberately concealed his ability?
The soldiers immediately replied, "General! This young man came from nowhere, and he brazenly claimed that he knew the way to detoxify!"
Mingzhu blushed and couldn't even make a sound.
"Put this boy down first!" Mo Kang said thoughtfully.
Hearing the order, the soldiers loosened their grip, and the boy fell to the ground like a puppet.
"Cough—cough cough—" Mingzhu coughed continuously.
Mo Kang stared down at the young man, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you really know how to detoxify?"
"Now... I don't know." Mingzhu said intermittently, with a frustrated tone.If General Mo Kang said that boy's urine cannot completely detoxify, then she doesn't know how to detoxify.
The soldiers were annoyed for a while, and felt that they were being teased.He raised his foot and kicked the young man hard, and shouted in a rough voice, "See if I won't kill you!"
"Doesn't the general want to save the people in the whole city?" Mingzhu shouted anxiously.
"General Xiang! Wait a minute!" Mo Kang stopped the soldiers from hacking and killing, and Fox asked, "Do you have a way to detoxify?"
Mingzhu gritted her teeth and said, "I don't have it! But the prince does!"
"Feng Zhanxiu?" Mo Kang was even more surprised.
Mingzhu nodded resolutely, but she didn't believe in herself, but in him.
Feng Zhanxiu, I believe in you, as always.
