Twilight returned to Shiguan City and rested for a few days.

In the days when she was resting, there were frequent reports of border battles.

On October 22, Hu Yanhao killed eighteen warriors under the command of King Di and set up a new tribe of warriors called King Di.

On October 25, the Ledin army united with the Rong people, the Una and the Yue clan to attack the Di tribes, looking for the revenge that the Di people did not save the coalition army when the old Di king was seriously ill, resulting in the killing of 30,000 coalition troops. Hu Yanhao had already prepared, the three warriors led the Wang army to attack the Rong people, Una and Yueshi, the three heard the wind and returned to save the king's tent, the Ledan army and the Di army fought fiercely in the southern field of the grassland, Huyanhao killed the three warriors of Ledan, and on the way to the escape of the Ledan army, Lu Dahu led the northwest army to encircle and annihilate the remnants of Ledan. On the same day, the army of Rong Ren, Una and Yueshi who came back to save the king's tent, together with the Wang army, the warriors of Huyanhao, were also ambushed and injured by the Northwest Army.

On October 30, Yuan Xiuqin led the Northwest Army into the Urkule grassland, attacked the Di tribe, Ledan and other departments watched the fire from the other side, the two armies fought for five days, more than ten battles, and there were casualties among each other.

On November 3, the first snow fell outside the Guan, and the Qianli grassland was covered with silver overnight, and the cold winter killing people outside the Guanguan would be closed within three days. The army is difficult to be stationed again, Yuan Xiu ordered the camp to return to the pass, but at night it was attacked by the Di army, the army was in chaos, Yuan Xiu led the army to abandon the camp and gallop to the pass, the Di army chased all the way and was introduced into the desert. In the early hours of the morning, a loud noise shocked the desert, the underground palace was blown up, and most of the Di troops who were introduced into the vicinity of the underground palace fell into the underground palace, and nearly 10,000 people were martyred to bury the Siamese Emperor.

On November 6, Yuan Xiu led the Northwest Army back to Jialan Guancheng, rewarded the border army with joy, and feasted the generals in the Wuwei General's Mansion in Shiguancheng at noon.

The main hall of General Wuwei's mansion is two rooms wide, and a thick camel hair curtain hangs to block the cold wind in the courtyard.

Twilight stomped her foot on the steps before entering the room, and then opened the curtain and entered, and the brazier burned in the middle of the hall, and the curtain struck, and the snow and wind poured back into the hall, and the sun was cold and blind. The young man was covered in snow-white clothes, and snow was accumulated on his shoulders. The room was dim, the young man's face was unclear, only frost and snow, and the world was lonely.

She swept into the hall and saluted, "General, old general, generals." ”

Most of the generals in the army had arrived, and although Twilight Qing was in Shiguan City, she was late in reporting the news.

Before the holy car came, Yuan Xiu sat at the head of the left seat, wearing a fiery red robe, only untying the silver armor, wearing a silver fox fur, and his eyebrows were as bright as the sky. His gaze settled on Twilight's robe, and asked with a smile, "You didn't have a cold wind when you came, did you?" Can someone give you this coat to be warm? ”

"Warm."

With just a simple answer, Yuan Xiu's eyes were full of smiles, as fine as a galaxy, and his voice softened a little, and said, "Let's take a seat." ”

Twilight Qing shook at the door, the snow fell, she handed the coat to the person next to the door, the young man smiled and took it, and the breath was foggy white. Twilight went up to the empty seat and sat down next to a few lieutenant generals, catching a glimpse of the young man carrying her coat to the side hall. The moon kill also came, and the soldiers were in the side hall, thinking that they had sent their clothes over.

The saint feasted all the generals in the army today, and all the generals took off their armor and came only wearing winter robes. Twilight Qing was dressed in a snow robe and silver fur, and the cuffs were rolled with snow wolf hair, and she rubbed her hands against the brazier next to her, the sparks crackled, and the white charcoal burned red, reflecting the young man's eyebrows and eyes, adding warm color to the lonely Qing.

"You kid, why haven't you seen you grow meat after resting these days?" Lu Da looked diagonally opposite.

Yuan Xiu looked at Twilight's thin chin and frowned, thinking that after a few days, she would be able to be rounder, but it was still like this. It seems that the march is too tossy all the way, and the dungeon is tired again, and it will be difficult to raise it back in a few days.

She is a Jiangnan woman, and I am afraid that this northwest winter will be difficult.

Twilight Qing and Lu Da hadn't seen each other for a few days, so she looked up at him and said, "General Lu has grown a beard." ”

Lu Da subconsciously touched the beard that had grown up on his cheeks again, and scolded with a smile: "What's wrong with Lao Tzu's beard?" Like them, do you think Lao Tzu doesn't look good with a beard? ”

"It's not pretty." Twilight took her hand back when it was warm, and her cold attitude was so angry that she glared at her.

The generals laughed, the men in the army were informal, and everyone didn't care about growing beards, but Lu Da felt that growing beards was more manly, and he came to pick them up if he didn't succeed, and the generals in the army were all picked up by him. The junior generals in the army did not dare to disobey him, and for a while they grew beards, they were originally young men, but they were old and old-fashioned, and they looked funny. Later, the general couldn't stand it anymore, and issued a military order not to let Lu Da mess around, and those young generals dared to shave their beards.

"You don't care if Lao Tzu looks good or not! Lao Tzu can kill the enemy on the battlefield, what's wrong with the beard? You all laugh at Lao Tzu! "Lu Avenue.

"General Lu doesn't care if I grow flesh, I can kill the enemy on the battlefield, what if I don't grow meat?" Twilight rebelled against the first army.

Lu Da was choked speechless, and the laughter in the hall gradually fell silent. In the past few days, Meng San woke up, and the general sent a few personal soldiers to the medical tent to take care of him, and asked about the things in the underground palace. I heard that she also treated the arrow wound for the general, and even Wu Lao said that the arrow wound was handled quite properly, if it was not dealt with at that time, let the general stay up until he got out of the underground palace, I am afraid that the leg will fall lame, and it is difficult to say whether the arm can hold the divine arm bow again.

When she saved the general, she saved the Northwest Army and the people of the Northwest.

Although this young man looks thin, since the new army, no one has made more contributions to the Northwest Army than her.

"Since last year's Wuhu knock, it has been nearly a year now, the Wuhu coalition army has been dispersed, and the three divisions of Rongren, Una, and Yueshi were already weak, and now they have suffered a lot of damage, so there is nothing to fear. In the early years, the general killed the eldest prince of Ledan, Tuda, and now the second prince Tuha is also dead, and the king of Ledin has also lost an arm, and Ledan is also seriously injured. The same is true for the Di people, Hu Yanhao killed the royal family, leaving only a three-year-old little prince grandson of the old Di Wang, although he was called the king, but the new policy was established, and it was still unstable. Bianguan and Wuhu have been fighting for many years, and this time is the most fruitful one. Old General Gu said.

The generals nodded, and one of the generals said: "It's a pity that it's winter, the heavy snow is closed, and the war has to be stopped, otherwise we will take advantage of the victory to pursue, maybe we can destroy Wuhu this time!" ”

"Isn't it? Give them rest this winter, and the next year will be troublesome. ”

"Wuhu's vitality is greatly injured this time, and he can't rest for a winter."

"I think so too, when the snow melts in spring, the general will lead us out of the customs to kill Hu Lu, and he will definitely be able to destroy these jackal cubs!"

The generals expressed their opinions, and Zhao Liangyi said: "You didn't find anything wrong?" ”

Everyone was stunned, and Lu Da asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Hu Yanhao!" Zhao Liangyi said, "Hu Yanhao killed the Di royal family in one night, why did he spare the life of that little Wang Sun?" ”

This said, the generals are really a little puzzled, the big guys want to go to the overall situation of the war, no one cares about such a trivial matter, but when it comes to it, no one really guesses Hu Yanhao's thoughts.

"What do you think?" Yuan Xiu asked Twilight.

"Two possibilities. First, something special happened to Hu Yanhao when he was three years old, which left a deep emotional impression in his heart, the three-year-old Xiao Wang Sun's family was ruined, and in his eyes, he seemed to see himself back then, so he didn't kill the child. The second is that Hu Yanhao's hatred for the royal family is too deep, and he keeps the child, intending to let him taste all the qiē he suffered when he was a child. Let the spies find out how Xiao Wangsun is doing in the tribe and know what the reason is. "Twilight said.

Although she had known that Twilight Qing was wise, Fang Cai's question was solved in an instant, and the generals were still a little surprised, but Yuan Xiu smiled, and sure enough, Hu Yanhao's mind was invisible in her eyes.

While everyone was talking, several other generals entered the hall one after another, and after seeing the ceremony, several people entered the table, and after everyone arrived, they were about a cup of tea, and heard a report from the palace outside: "The saint has arrived-"

The hall was quiet, Yuan Xiu led the generals to get up, bowed their heads solemnly, the door creaked open, and everyone knelt down and said: "Welcome to the holy driver, long live my emperor!" ”

The north wind swept into the hall with snow foam, and the green brick floor slowly blew away, and the lake rippled. A person strolling in the lake, the footsteps knocking on the green bricks, the sound of the sound falling slowly, carelessly. The generals saw bright red clothes like clouds, walking in front of them, and went to the top casually, and a lazy voice came: "Everyone, Aiqing, flat." ”

"Thank you." Yuan Xiu led the crowd to get up, but did not sit down.

"Let's all sit down, today is a banquet for all of you, and the monarchs and ministers will enjoy together, so you don't have to be restrained."

"Thank you." The generals sat down.

There were no women in the army, naturally there were no singers and dancers, and there was no drum music, and the palace people came to eat, and everyone was restrained and uncomfortable, but Dusk Qing was not affected, and they ate as usual.

Bu Xi glanced at her with a smile, then turned his gaze away, looked at the generals, and said: "I have been on the throne for eighteen years, and I am very relieved that I have to guard the northwest border pass. Now that the New Year Festival is approaching, there is a custom of hunting in Shengjing Palace in previous years, in order to test the skills of riding and archery for the children of the royal scholars. Now that I am in the northwest, the heavy snow is closed, it is difficult to hunt, I am determined to choose a horse farm, and compete with the Aiqing in a cavalry shooting, first, the two armies are in a truce, the martial arts of the Aiqing cannot be abolished, and the second is also a monarch and ministers, what do the Aiqing think? ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent.

Some people are worried, some people are angry, some people are mocking, and all the generals bow their heads and hide their expressions.

Those who are worried about the northwest horse are fierce, and the saint rides and shoots on a snowy day, in case of falling from the horse, the northwest army will not be able to escape the blame.

The angry Northwest Army guarded the border pass, this war lasted for nearly a year, tens of thousands of soldiers stained the battlefield with blood, and the saint came up, and only one sentence was pulled to the monarch and the minister.

The mocker ridiculed the words of riding and shooting, the saint acted absurdly, and he had been obsessed with men for many years, it would be good if this body could be on horseback, how could he have the ability to compete with the tiger generals in the army? They have been on the battlefield and killed the enemy and seen blood, which is different from Shengjing's gang of gentlemen.

Only Twilight Qing looked still, looked at the top, saw Bu Xihuan lazily supporting his cheeks, smiling at the generals of the Northwest Army, the dishes on the table only moved a few chopsticks, as if he was not interested in eating, only about the horse farm riding and shooting.

Twilight's gaze settled on the erect finger that Bu Xihuan was holding on to her cheek, knowing that he meant something deep, and it was not as simple as riding and shooting for fun.

At this time, Yuan Xiu put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and said, "The minister's decree." ”

The generals looked at each other, and since the general agreed, they could only comply.

"That's good." Bu Xi laughed and said, "Tomorrow, the generals above the lieutenant level of the army will test the riding and shooting, and they will be in this Shiguancheng Horse Farm!" ”
