Chapter 17: Bonfire Night Talk

The door was opened, and with full of anger, the towering man of Angzang took the slender Pu knife, and in the surprised eyes of the civilians on the side of the road, he led the Tang cavalry under his command to sweep out of the city pass.

"Old friend, you must not have anything to do......"

Su Lie tightened the reins, at first he and Ashina were both enemies and friends, he was a noble son from a Tang Dynasty family, and the other party was also a royal family among the Beiyi people, both of them were burdened with the mission of Jingbian and had the best education in their respective cultural systems.

They were hostile to each other for more than a dozen times, and even fought in the grassland for three days and three nights in a row, starving their stomachs full of grass roots, with wolf blood in their mouths, and almost grabbed each other's throats to end them with their own hands.

Eventually, however, they stopped when they roared hoarsely, pinched each other's necks, and glared at each other's embarrassed faces with their fierce lips and teethβ€”there was no point in such a fight.

Since that day, the two have gradually reached a consensus, and in the past ten years, they have gradually found a path to peace.

It's just a pity that today, peace has been betrayed.

Su Lie had already sent troops for the first time, but by the time Su Lie returned to Guan City with his troops, the former bustling market had left ruins and gunsmoke, women who were slashed, men who were killed, broken shells, and cloth and grain that could not be taken away that were spilled on the ground......

As said before, there is no justice in any conquest.

Christians with muskets in one hand and the Bible in the other conquered the Indians, and there was not one in ten Indians after that.

The Crusaders, holding high the banner of a black cross on a white background and singing hymns, conquered Jerusalem and slaughtered 70,000 people in the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

That's hell.

And it's hell right now, too.

The rich bloody aura stimulated the war horse to let out an uneasy cry, Su Lie looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, hot tears rolled out of his eyes, and words could not even describe the shock and ...... in Su Lie's heart at this moment Sorrowful.

He knew that from today onwards, the peace had been broken again, the protracted war was about to start again, and life would become the dregs of the cheapest flesh millstone in the entire Western Regions.

The blood-covered survivor looked at Su Lie in fear, and he hesitated and let out a crazy roar: "Demon! Don't come here, demon!"

That's right, the Tang Army is a demon to them.

One of the Tang riders covered his eyes, and his tears couldn't be stopped: "This is hell. ”

Another Tang Qi couldn't stop crying, he had many friends here, they used to drink mare's milk wine, sing and dance, and struggle together, and every grass and tree in this Guan City was set up by both of them themselves.

"Why......" Su Lie's eyes were split, he strode into the ruins, and asked the Tang troops who hadn't left yet, "Are you crazy?"

Seeing that Su Lie was wearing the armor of the Commander of the Folded Chong, a soldier stopped his hand and said, "We are just acting on orders." ”

One of the squads' eyes was occupied by the golden brilliance, and when he heard this, he just waved his hand and said, "Lord Supervisor has an order, and he will take the spoils of the Guan City for himself." General Su, you came too late and didn't make a difference, so these spoils of war can't be distributed to you. ”

Some Tang Jun giggled: "These Western Regions sheep are so easy to slaughter, they don't have any defenses at all." ”

"Now I make a lot of money, even if I fold all the money and go home, I can buy dozens of acres of land. ”

Su Lie pushed away the soldiers who were happily counting the spoils in front of him, and strode onto his mount under their madman-like gaze: "Let's go!

"General, let's not remind .......," one of the Tang Riders asked.

Su Lie shook his head: "It's too late." ”

The Tang rider said excitedly: "As long as we are fast enough!"

"That's enough!" Su Lie roared, "No matter what, nothing can be changed. ”

"War is about to break out. Su Lie's eyes were full of pain, "Peace has ended, even if we arrive, will we be able to stop the other Tang troops? Since we can't, what's the use of us going? Fight them? betray the imperial court? betray the Tang Dynasty?"

Su Lie rode wildly, and for the first time, he found that he was so fragile that he had betrayed his friend...... Now he can't betray the country.

"Prepare for war!"

.......

Li Bai rode on the black mane, and a group of nearly fifty people entered the town built close to the first line of defense of the Great Wall, and crossed a tall tower, and the group climbed upward, and it was not long before they reached the dilapidated barracks.

"As many people as you live, you can pack up as many houses as you want. ”

"No one knows when those houses were left, but from the beginning, Captain Hua Du let us live there. ”

"Anyway, such a large piece of land can't be used up at all. ”

"We are poor here, we are almost close to the sea to the north, and there are no tribes living in them, and the six major customs markets have nothing to do with us, only a very small one, which will occasionally be open in the city, and it will be more lively then. ”

Li Bai was chatting with the guide sent by the Great Wall Guards, when suddenly a young man rushed to Li Bai's horse with a stab, so frightened that he suddenly pulled the reins and narrowly missed crushing it under the horse's hooves.

"Brother!"

Suddenly, a tall, slender boy jumped out behind him and pulled him back.

"I'm sorry for the surprise, my horse. The tall boy pulled the boy behind him a little crampedly.

"The man with long ears?" Li Bai frowned slightly, noticing a pair of beast ears hidden in the other party's long black hair.

He jumped off his horse, squatted down, and leaned down to pick up a wooden carving, which was very close to the image of the young man, and the craftsmanship was a little rough, but it was still a delicate gadget.

"You dropped it, take it, be careful next time. ”

"They're hybrids. Zhang Xi explained on the side, "Recently, because of the demon seeds released by the Khorezm people, adults should be cautious in the face of these people. ”

[So cute!]

[Fluffy so I want to touch it.] 】

[Isn't this Nima a Baili brother?]

[God especially popped out of a passer-by is the Baili brothers, and you are not people who have never seen long ears on the road. 】

[But it's really similar, but the hair color is different, it's all black.] 】

[Baili Shoujo is white-haired, and his younger brother is red-haired, it shouldn't be them. 】

"Thank you, Master Jun. The tall boy took the wood carving and hurriedly pulled his brother away, and as he walked, he could hear the doting and worried voice of his brother reprimanding him.

"Don't worry, Zhang Xi. Li Bai smiled, this scene made him very warm. "Take the brothers to settle down, I'll go to Zhichong Mansion and meet our top boss. ”

As he spoke, he threw the reins of his horse to the guide and walked towards the Zhichong Mansion, and before he could get close, he saw a heroic female general carrying a giant sword striding into the Zhichong Mansion one step ahead of him.

"General!" Li Bai clenched his fists and saluted.

"Who are you?" the female general looked back at Li Bai, the long black hair curled slightly on her forehead was lifted by her, and she scooped up a bowl of water from the water tank and poured it down, "New here?"

[Wow, the flowers are so beautiful!]

[Which actor is this, I don't know. 】

[I feel...... I seem to be in love. 】

[No, let me breathe for three minutes.] 】

Li Bai nodded, feeling his body unconsciously stiffened, and said, "This has the token of the town guard." ”

The female general took the token and looked at it for a moment, nodded, and casually threw it back into Li Bai's hand: "Sister is the commander of Zhichong here, I heard that you also volunteered to guard the Great Wall?"

Li Bai nodded, the other party's aura was very strong, and he was overwhelmed from the beginning.

Of course, this is also a home advantage, and if you were in your own home, you must be so casual.

Hua Mulan leaned against a dilapidated wooden table and looked at it carefully: "It looks pretty good, I just hope you can be better, otherwise it will be a mess." ”

"The war has broken out, and our ten-year peace with Beiyi has been broken, and it's all down to that idiot's own assertions!"

She sighed, hugged her helmet in her arms, brushed the blue cloak behind her, and strode into the Folding Mansion.

The so-called "fool", Li Bai guessed that it might be the supervisor of the Yushitai.

"The demon seeds released by the Khorezm people use the Beiyi people as food, and the Tang army sent by the prison army regards the city as a treasure trove for what is needed. The people of Beiyi can't live anymore, so they have to go back to their old jobs. ”

"Be careful in the days ahead, and may you live long enough to become a true Wall Guard. As for the people you brought, don't worry, from today onwards, they will all go to repair the Great Wall for my sister......"

The female general's wanton voice floated back from the front, looking lazy, it was an entrustment, but it had its own domineering side exposure, and it could not be changed resolutely.

At the same time, in Li Bai's ears, the second main mission was officially released: successfully resisted all enemy attacks in the next three days, and successfully survived until the dusk of the third day.

Li Bai was slightly stunned and muttered to himself: "The real test is coming......"

The sky was getting darker, piles of bonfires were burning in the camp, and the soldiers and ruffians in Li Bai's team were arranged together and could not move around at will. Only he and the two teams were not restricted.

In the darkness, the girl with the big sword on her back proudly raised one foot on the city gate tower, and the other hand pointed to the shadow in the darkness, on the distant hillside, the figure that seemed to never appear, but had been sneaking here.

"Assassins of Assasin?"

"If you fight head-on, a person like you, my sister can split you in half with a knife. ”

Countless encounters with the other party have proven this, and he never dares to fight her head-on, but after that, like a cold ghost, he can kill at any moment, and this feeling of not being able to catch it at all is really unpleasant.

Mulan turned her head, her gaze silently touched the other party in the air for a moment, followed by the ghost lurking in the distance and disappeared.

Hua Mulan smiled coldly, pulled out a sharp double-edged stroke, and carved it on the city bricks one by one......

Suddenly, Hua Mulan frowned, silently lifted her battle robe, covered the city brick, and said, "Why did you come up? You arrived on the first day tonight, so you don't have to be on duty." ”

In the darkness, a white-clothed figure gradually walked up to the city, holding a wine gourd, with an inexplicable smile on his face: "The war has broken out, starting today." ”

"Oh, that's fun?" asked Mulan.

Li Bai smiled: "It's not worth being happy, but it's worth being vigilant." ”

"Then you can still laugh. Mulan shook her head.

Li Bai said: "If you have wine today and get drunk today, even if you have to die tomorrow, you have to live with a smile today." ”

"You are free and easy, bring wine. Mulan stretched out her hand and sat cross-legged on the ground with a pleasant expression, she poured the wine into her mouth without pretentiousness, and the aroma was suddenly full.

"Hmmβ€”the wine is good. The female general let out a moan of pleasure and leaned wearily against the wall behind her.

Li Bai spread his hands: "In the future, you will have to rely on the captain." ”

Hua Mulan patted her chest, and her cheeks flushed with a hint of intoxication: "Wrapped in my sister." ”

Li Bai smiled: "Then I'll go down first." ”

Mulan waved her hand: "Go, go, go." As long as you are my sister's person, you can live with my sister, as long as you don't betray and don't be a deserter, you can rely on your sister for anything in the future. ”

"You're arrogant. Li Bai smiled bitterly and shook his head, starting from today, he has finally taken root in the Great Wall.

It's a pity that at present, although he has a big thick leg to hold, he still feels like he is in danger in the face of the upcoming situation.
