Helian Ding learned that the Song army had been defeated, and that his capital Pingliang and a large area of Guanzhong had been lost. Under his anger, he was unwilling to accept his failure, and he was not willing to be trapped in the land of Tianshui projectiles. After resting for a few months, Helian Ding led his troops westward, intending to destroy the small states of Western Qin and Northern Liang in the west, and wanted to divide the Hexi region and continue to confront Tuoba Tao.

In the first month of the fourth year of Shengguang, Helianding raided the city of Nan'an in Western Qin, and the lord of Western Qin was not Helianding's opponent, and at the end of the road, he went out of the city with an empty coffin in a vehicle and surrendered. Soon, the lord of the Western Qin State was beheaded, and the Western Qin State was destroyed.

However, Helian Ding was afraid of Tuoba Tao's persecution, and kidnapped more than 100,000 people from Western Qin, intending to cross the Yellow River from Zhicheng, attack the Northern Liang Kingdom, and seize the land of Northern Liang.

The sky was clear, the pale golden sun was shining, and the tents that met the sky were lined up, and the flags were hunting in the wind.

Many ragged Western Qin people sat on the ground, their faces dusty and exhausted, their eyes flashing with numbness or resentment.

Helian was dressed in a dark robe, followed by two attendants, through the crowded crowd, and saw the wounded soldiers and Western Qin people scattered around the camp, he secretly sighed and quickened his pace.

Suddenly, his gaze was attracted by the tranquil and delicate figure. Qiyun sat on the mountain stone under the willow tree, with a book on her lap, she looked down and looked intently, her expression was as quiet as water, revealing the elegance of the jade neck and the beautiful lines.

Helianding's restless heart suddenly calmed down, and he slowed down his steps and walked slowly to her.

Qiyun was wearing only a thin single coat, and her silver hair scattered over her shoulders danced lightly in the wind. Seeing her full of silver threads, Helian Ding still had a pain in his eyes, and he was slightly reproachful in his spoiling: "Yue'er, your body is just right, you have been traveling long distances for days, and you are tired and resting." ”

Qiyun raised his head and saw that Helian Ding's face seemed to be covered with a haze, and there was also a hint of melancholy between his eyebrows, and he said with relief: "Your Majesty, the concubine's body is very good, so there is no need to worry about it." The king is invincible, and he thinks that the small country of Beiliang will not be the king's opponent. ”

Helian Ding listened, his long eyebrows were slightly relaxed, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he smiled forcefully: "I hope that as Yue'er said, as long as we take Beiliang, my Xia army will have a foothold." ”

Helian Ding took her hand in one hand and pointed to the front with the other, as if he had regained his former vigor, and said loudly: "The front is to govern the city, and my Xia army can avoid strong enemies when they cross the Yellow River." With the Yellow River natural insurance, we can ensure that the Great Xia Kingdom is worry-free, and it can also ensure the safety of Yue'er. ”

Qiyun smiled and nodded: "Wang Shangyingwu, he will definitely be able to get his wish." ”

On the second day, the clear sky turned dark, and the clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, varying in depth, like rendered ink to the endless surroundings.

Helian Ding led the Xia army, drove more than 100,000 people of the West Qin, crossed the Yellow River to the west in the city, the team was mighty, and the border could not be seen at a glance, the people of the West Qin were broken, they were full of wind and rain on the road, and the hunger and cold were unbearable, and no one could get up on the road.

Seeing that the march was extremely slow, Helian Ding's heart was anxious, and he was worried that the Wei army's iron cavalry would suddenly attack, and with his remaining Xia soldiers, he would be able to defeat Western Qin, but he would be powerless to resist the incomparable Wei army. Therefore, he looked at the team and decided to lead Qiyun and the others to cross the river first.

Qiyun held the one-year-old prince in his arms and followed Helianding to the west bank of the Yellow River. The Yellow River was windy and fast, and she was a little unwell and pale when she crossed the boat.

Helian gave her a pitiful look and ordered the soldiers to pull his horses. War horse Xuefeng followed him to fight in the north and south, and seemed to have spirituality. Helian Ding stroked Xue Feng's mane, whispered a few words in its ear, helped Qiyun get on the horse, and put the little prince into her arms.

"What about you, Your Majesty?" Qiyun's eyes were confused, and a touch of complicated emotions flashed.

Helian Ding retracted his cold and exquisite gaze, and stared at her silently.

He marched in the morning, his eyebrows and eyes kept beating, and his heart was inexplicably uneasy. Before leaving, on the mountain near the barracks, a group of foxes appeared out of nowhere, and there were hundreds of them. Their cries come and go, and they are disturbing. Helian ordered them to be shot, but found nothing. Helian felt disgusted in his heart, and sighed to the attendants beside him: "This is a sign of great bad luck. The way of heaven is like this, what else can I say! ”

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Qiyun's heart jumped, and Mu Ran raised his eyes to look at him. The color of his pupils deepened, and he was as dizzy as an ancient deep pool.

Helian Ding came back to his senses, patted her hand, and comforted: "It's okay, Xue Feng is very obedient." Wait a while, you follow my side closely, don't stay away, you will be safe. ”

Qiyun smiled and nodded, hugging the child in her arms tightly. He was one year old and was the age of activity, and his bright and clear eyes watched curiously as his father boarded another war horse.

Helian Ding smiled at the two of them, held the sword in his right hand, and said loudly to the soldiers behind him: "Let's go!" ”

As soon as his words fell, countless black shadows suddenly appeared in front of them, all wearing narrow sleeves and hakama, wearing hoods on their heads, and covering their faces with Luo Mi. There are more than 10,000 people, densely packed. Their horsemanship was exquisite, and their hooves kicked up a cloud of sand and dust, like a black storm coming, sweeping the sky.

The head of the person was tied with a golden crown, burly, with two beards, and there was a woman in a white shirt riding a horse beside him, wearing a light veil on her face, Qiyun recognized her figure and knew that she was the Hanbi who took the Yuyan card.

The leader looked at Helian Ding, raised his head and laughed: "Your Majesty Helian, Murong Shiqian, who is assassinating Shi Murong in Hunning Prefecture in Xiatugu, has been waiting for you here for a long time on the orders of my Khan. ”

When Helian Ding saw him, his face changed greatly, he bowed his hand on the horse, and responded loudly: "Murong Thorn History, I and Tugu Hun have always entered the river without violating the river, I led my troops to attack Beiliang, passing through your land, please let me go." When I attack and destroy Beiliang, I will definitely send treasures to your Khan as a reward. ”

Murong Shiqian rode on the horse, pointed to Qiyun on Helian Ding's side, and said arrogantly: "My Khan said that it is okay to let go, but the world-famous Yuehua Qing Concubine and the prince in her arms by Your Majesty's side must stay as hostages." Otherwise, how do we know that after Your Majesty conquers Beiliang, will he meet me on the return trip? ”

When Helian Ding heard this, his eyes were as cold as ice. He clenched his sword, the green tendons on the back of his hand bulging, and said word by word, "I want them to stay, unless, step over my Helianding's body!" ”

With that, he jumped on his horse and galloped, pulled out the imperial sword, and a sky-high sword light pierced through Changhong, pointing directly at Murong Shiqian. Murong Shiqian saw that he was coming like a tiger, and he suppressed the fear in his heart and blocked it with a horizontal gun. With a clang, it pierced the sky, piercing and deafening, and the two blades struck each other, grazing from the body of the spear to the place where the hilt of the sword met, and sparks flew in all directions.

Murong Shiqian almost couldn't hold the silver spear, and the brilliance with the aura of death frightened him, and he didn't love to fight when he heard of Helian Ding's name of killing gods. Murong Shiqian took a few steps back and waved his hand, and the Tuyuhun soldiers behind him rushed forward like a tide, surrounding Helian Ding, Qiyun and the others.
