"War is finally on the verge of breaking out, and the urgent news from the border north has arrived. In the Shangyang Palace, Bor Jinmur held a letter in his hand and said to Duan Sixu, Qi Xing, and Qin Lingyun.

"What did the Hong Kong Economic Journal say?" Duan Si continued.

Bol Jinmur handed the letter to Duan Sixu, and after she took it, she opened it and read it carefully.

She thought for a while and then bowed: "Lord, the minister is willing to go to the north of the border to help General Qin." ”

"No!" shouted Borjinmur.

Duan Si was stunned for a moment, looked at Qi Xing and Qin Lingyun, and asked suspiciously, "Why not?"

Duan Qing didn't know that the strength and terrifyingness of the foreign barbarians was not because of how well-trained their army was. ”

"Rather, in fact, they are controlled by the Demon Wolf Clan behind their backs. Borjinmur said.

"Didn't the Demon Wolf Clan mysteriously disappear two hundred years ago?"

"Why do you want to show up again?" Duan Si continued.

Borjinmur shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's just that it's been since a year ago. ”

"Our Mondu army began to retreat one after another, and there were countless casualties, all of which were caused by spontaneous combustion of spirits. ”

Qin Lingyun suddenly said, "The Heavenly Scale Flame of the Demon Wolf Clan!"

"Well, it seems that yes, only their Celestial Scales will burn people's spirits. Duan Sixu nodded and said.

"That's right, Ben Jun won't let Duan Qing go. As he spoke, Borjinmur took Duan Sixu's hand and said with concern.

Duan Si continued to be startled, looked at Qi Xing, and saw that his brows were slightly frowned.

Quickly broke free of Bor's hand and bowed again: "Lord, the minister must go." ”

"You can't go anywhere. Borjinmur walked to the high seat and sat down, and said solemnly.

Duan Sixu bowed solemnly and said, "Lord, you also know that the mana of this demon wolf clan is really powerful. ”

"If I don't help General Qin, I'm afraid they will have to worry about their lives!"

Bor Jinmur was about to continue to dissuade, but was stopped by Qi Xing, and he said, "Lord, please agree to General Duan's request." ”

Seeing that Qi Xing knew herself so well, Duan Sixu felt a hint of comfort in her heart, and she hugged her fists and said: "Lord, even if Duan Sixu is shrouded in horse leather, he must defend the north!"

After discussing and arranging, Duan Sixu came to the side of the Yunhe River.

She wore only a dark red tunic and her silver hair tied up with a gray headband and scattered behind her back.

The cold of winter made the river a thick layer of ice.

At this moment, Qi walked over, and he had a dark brown coat on his arm.

"It's a little cooler, and you're wearing too thin. As he spoke, he put on a cloak for Duan Sixu.

Duan Si was stunned for a moment, and then smiled softly: "Thank you." ”

Qi Xing didn't speak, he looked down slightly at the fish under the glacier, still swimming freely.

They don't know that the outside world has long been lifeless.

"When will you leave for the north of the border?" Qi Xing asked.

"Afternoon. Duan Si continued.

Qi Xing said: "Although it is a meeting in Pingshui, after all, Miss Duan is also a generation of chivalrous women. ”

"There is nothing of value to give. ”

"Only this heart guard made of dragon scales is given to the girl, hoping to protect you for a lifetime. ”

As he spoke, he hung the white glowing heart shield around her neck.

Duan Sixu smiled helplessly, and she said, "I have to be thoughtful when I need you to protect me!"

Qi Xing didn't speak, just glanced at her deeply, turned around and was about to leave.

Duan Si grabbed Qi Xing's arm violently and said, "Don't go." ”

"Miss Duan, I'm not a dull and stupid person. ”

"I have long seen your heart for me, and I understand it very well. ”

Duan Si continued to be shocked in place, she almost cried with joy, she said: "Qi Xing, you are finally!"

"But Miss Duan, Qi Xing has promised a true heart to the Buddha and the world in this life. ”

"Even if I have affection for the girl, I can't make any promises and vows. ”

Duan Sixu trembled, and she choked up: "Qi Xing, I don't want to make promises and oaths." "Ranwen

"As long as I can be with you, it doesn't matter if I die. ”

"Do you remember what you said to me when you were in the underground river?"

"You say, "Then we will die together." ”

Qi Xing turned around and held Duan Sixu's hand tightly, pushed it hard, and said, "The origin and extinction are all because of my heart." ”

"If there is an afterlife!"

Duan Sixu hung her arms and froze in place, her heart ached, but she still didn't keep Qi Xing.

However, Duan Sixu didn't hear what Qi Xing said: "If there is an afterlife, life and death will not be worth it!"

The next day, the team sent off by the imperial city was large and magnificent, but Duan Sixu could not find the figure of Qi Xing.

She knew that yesterday by the Yunhe River was the parting words of Qi Xing.

Duan Si continued to tighten the reins and rode off into the distance, the mighty procession behind him drifting away.

Qi Xingcai appeared in the middle of the piece, and he said in a low voice: "In the end, I can't see through, and I live up to it, but I lose it." ”

In the far north of the border, on the tower of Yayun City, Duan Sixu stood in the cold north wind wearing a black armor.

Her long silver hair stood up behind her, as if she was unspeakably unwilling.

The gray hairband wrapped around her wrist was held tightly by her, unwilling to let go.

Duan Sixu knew that even if she couldn't evoke the memory of Qi Xing in this life, she would have to do something with him for this world.

Even if you go to Hongmeng together, you will have no regrets.

At this time, Deputy General Li Feng ran over and reported: "Commander Duan, someone has reported the case!"

"What's the matter?" Duan Si continued to put away the gray headband and asked Zhengse.

"Donglin found a corpse. Li Feng reported.

Duan Si thought for a while and said, "Let's go, follow me to have a look." ”

"Yes!" After Li Feng finished speaking, he followed Duan Sixu out of the city gate and walked towards the winter forest in the distance to the north of Yayun City.

The remote northern part of the country is located in a dangerous place, and surrounded by dense forests and high mountains, and the climate is treacherous and changeable.

It was a rare downpour of rain on this winter day, as if to wash away all the sins.

But the rain came and went quickly, and when the snow fell again in the sky, the winter forest seemed to be frozen.

The towering winter trees are covered with a layer of frost, crystal clear, like gray-white stone pillars.

They stand on the ground covered with rotting leaves, swearing sovereignty, dense and endless.

Duan Sixu and Li Feng wore thick winter coats and walked carefully in this winter forest step by step.

Li Feng looked up at the few demon vultures hovering above, and there was nothing else in the forest except the sound of their giant wings waving.

However, it is more appropriate to say that they are actually the Grim Reaper than that they are beasts.

Because, this vulture likes to suck the brains of dying people for food, but it is afraid of the yang energy of the living.

They keep circling just waiting for the people below to die!

Li Feng felt that these things were particularly unlucky, and followed Duan Sixu's footsteps and said, "I have been stationed in the northern region here for several years, and this is the first time that the last general has entered this winter forest. ”

"Commander, it's better to be careful, this is a territory that the Demon Wolf Clan often invades. ”

"Thank you. Duan Sixu nodded, thanked him, didn't say a word more, and continued to walk forward.

Speaking of which, although I had already met Duan Sixu some time ago, it was also because I had important things to do, so I didn't talk to her much.

Two days ago, when she was ordered to come to Yayun City to help General Qin, Li Feng found that the appearance of this period had not changed at all.

And this temperament is much more mature and stable than before, and it is a little closer to the living.

Li Feng was in a trance for a while, has she experienced too much over the years?

When he was about to walk to the clearing in the forest, Duan Sixu saw a person sitting under a tree not far in front of him.

But rather, it should be a corpse, a mutilated corpse.

"General Li, come and have a look. Duan Si continued.

Li Feng was stunned in place, and Duan Sixu called again: "General Li!"

"Ah! ”

"The last general is coming!" Li Feng heard Duan Sixu's shout, came back to his senses, and hurriedly ran up.
