Chapter 31: The Fire Phoenix

Commander Qiu galloped forward with a thousand guards, he was not a fool, the military generals were born in a family and naturally knew the way of marching, before entering the valley, he specially went up the cliff to inspect, the cliff was empty and there was nothing, he was immediately relieved, he went all the way, waved his hand, and said: "Open the way!" ”

A thousand guards were ordered to gallop forward, and Commander Qiu sneered and looked at the Tiansheng team that had stopped standing still and retreated far away, thinking that he would have to laugh at the little white face when he waited for the past.

Suddenly, I heard a few "ouch" shouts, accompanied by the sound of dead branches breaking, and the team of guards running at the front suddenly disappeared.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then found that the flat ground in front of which seemed to be full of grass had already been dug a big pit, and the dry branches and broken grass were shallow on it.

This trap is not unusual, the common means of soldiers, just used here, quite a bit of the taste of the sword to go sideways, originally this kind of mountain, generally the cliff top ambush to the rolling stone attack, but the other party just found a unique way, the cliff top is nothing, the problem is underground, people who have seen the cliff top and lose their vigilance, it is easy to be fooled.

At this time, there were more than a dozen people and horses planted in the pit, but the pit was not deep, and there were no spikes and hidden piles to hurt people, and the guards who were planted in the pit were struggling to climb outward, and some of them were trying to pull out their own mounts. ”

As soon as his voice fell, someone somewhere on the cliff shouted coldly: "Release!" ”

This sound is neat and crisp, an end note is still vibrating in the air, and there is a whistling sound on all sides, in the whistling sound, a hidden vine on the top of the half cliff is lifted, it is actually a cave, several men stand at the entrance of the cave, draw the bow and shoot down, the long arrow on the bow ignites a raging fire, it is a rocket, and in an instant the fire flashes like a rain of crimson meteors falling from the sky, and it goes straight to the big pit that falls into the guards and horses!

This time is even more caught off guard, the rocket shot down, in an instant even the pit with the horses are on fire, people of course "whoop" a sound and galloped up, the guards on all sides have dispersed, the horses are even more frightened, neighing hooves, a rush on the trap that is not too high, with a body of fire crashed into the rear guard group, the animals are afraid of fire, more than a thousand guards of the horses were suddenly frightened, the commotion jumped, but the valley mouth was narrow, at this time they were all crowded together, the horses were splashed everywhere, all the horses fell into a state of madness, desperately jumping in all directions, Some of them threw their masters down, some trampled on each other, some turned around and ran around, the guards couldn't control their shouting again and again, and they were accidentally knocked down and trampled half to death.

Commander Qiu was so anxious that his eyes were on fire, and he jumped on the mountain and gave orders to order the whole team one after another, but at this time, everyone was too busy to take care of themselves, who could still listen to his orders? shouted out of his throat, but he was just drowning in the boiling noise.

Compared with his irritability, the other party seemed calm and well-trained, a group of mountain bandits, more like a regular army than the regular army, with another cold shout from the middle of the cliff: "Shoot!" "The rain of arrows rained again, this time it was no longer a rocket, but a short crossbow, a bow and five arrows, a powerful short crossbow, the arrows were like a storm, and the man on the cliff "Left front!" Right rear! Westward! The direction he commanded, or the most chaotic place for the guards, or the place where the horses had just rushed to, or the place where the guards were about to settle down, intercepted left and right, and used the rain of arrows under his command to shoot most of the scattered guards to death, and the remaining guards and horses were gradually forced to huddle together.

Commander Qiu also saw that something was wrong at this time, it was obvious that the other party was a powerful person, this was to force the remaining guards in one place, and then shoot them to death at one time, if a thousand elite guards were wiped out under the mountain bandits, they would have an unforeseen disaster!

At this time, he finally regretted in his heart - he originally knew that there were mountain bandits in Tengshan, and he knew that the mountain bandits here were particularly fierce and fierce, and their power was not small, they were deserters who were lost on the battlefield in the early years of Tiansheng, and it was said that they loved to rob the passing team of the Xiliang Mansion. I have the heart to give these people a little color to see, and I also want to revitalize the power of the Xiliang army in front of the Tiansheng envoy team, if you can let the Tiansheng envoy team escape in embarrassment after the mountain bandits, it would be better to rescue it by yourself, look at the famous little white face is still proud! I don't want that little white face to know what's going on, but he can foresee the danger and stop and force himself to suffer this catastrophe!

Thinking of the regent of the city, and remembering his instructions to himself before leaving, Commander Qiu shivered violently, and finally felt that some people and things were really not as simple as he thought. has lived at the feet of the Son of Heaven for a long time, and has been favored because of his good martial arts, but now he is really going to be wasted because of this mountain bandit.

As soon as he thought of the evil in his heart, he became desperate, shouted and went straight to the top of the cliff, and even went down and up to attack the enemy who was forbidden by the order.

Suddenly, I heard a very short voice, "Kill the horse!" ”

This sound is also forbidden, the sound just fell, the sharp arrow whistled through the air, but it came from behind, and even he was shrouded in that direction, Commander Qiu was shocked, and he could no longer care about his identity, a lazy donkey rolled dangerously to avoid, only to feel the sound of the wind passing over his head, and went straight to his guard, he stared at those arrows with wide eyes, and suddenly felt that his scalp was cold, and when he touched it, a few strands of bloody hair fell to the ground slowly.

The guards who were forced to crowd the valley at the mouth of the valley by the frightened horses and the rain of arrows above, found that there was a rain of arrows in the rear, and they were shocked to think that they would die, and they closed their eyes and did not dare to move, only to feel the wind whirring on their sides, and the cool air seeped into their bodies, and then they heard a miserable neighing of horses, and when they opened their eyes, they found that all the horses had been shot to death.

The frightened horses were all shot to death, and the originally crowded and chaotic valley mouth suddenly became empty, and the Xiliang guards were stunned there, and suddenly heard a low voice that couldn't help but question: "Go up the cliff!" ”

The guards were stunned, and some quick reactions came to their senses - the opponent's arrow shot down from the cliff, and the cliff itself was a dead end, as long as they stuck to the cliff, no one could shoot it, and suddenly scolded themselves for being so stupid, and at the same time quickly stepped on the horse corpse and rushed up the cliff, all of them played the best light skills in their lives.

As soon as the guards on this side stuck to the cliff, the archery stopped on the half-cliff, and the other party seemed to have discovered that the new enemy was not easy to mess with, and immediately issued a sharp whistle, probably meaning retreat.

Before the whistle was finished, the horse's hooves were trampling, and a horse galloped over, and the knight was dressed simply, and his eyes were as wet as autumn water, but Feng Zhiwei arrived.

She seemed to be very concerned about the damage on Xiliang's side, and even rode first, seeing the chaotic situation at Taniguchi, she stood on her horse, and turned her eyes towards Commander Qiu with a smile, and Commander Qiu suddenly died of shame.

He looked at Feng Zhiwei's back, his eyes swept backwards, just now Feng Zhiwei ordered someone to relieve him from the siege, and the shooters under her command made Commander Qiu couldn't help but be shocked - those people and horses were mixed together, and if they wanted to shoot horses, they only shot horses, and none of them were injured.

Seeing that Feng Zhiwei actually rode towards the valley mouth alone, he opened his mouth, and had the heart to tell her that the other party might have a master, pay attention to safety, but looking at Feng Zhiwei's leisurely back, there was a sudden wave of hatred in his heart - this Wei Zhi is so despicable! You can remind him but don't say it, Shengsheng watched him look foreign, and waited until he failed miserably and couldn't explain before he came to be a good person, so let him take risks by himself!

At this time, he couldn't remember, if Feng Zhiwei hadn't ordered someone to shoot the horse and give instructions just now, he was afraid that a thousand guards would be wiped out here, and he would inevitably commit a serious crime.

People who are despicable and selfish have always only remembered grudges, not gratitude.

Feng Zhiwei turned his horse forward, and smiled at the Xiliang guards who had survived the catastrophe: "Brothers are frightened-"

Before she finished speaking, suddenly the vines on the cliff wall beside her lifted up, and a figure pounced out, and the wind sounded, and the guards only felt that there was a flower in front of them, and they could vaguely hear Wei Hou's "ah", and when they opened their eyes again, there was no human figure.

Everyone looked up in unison, and saw a meteor-like figure on the cliff disappear in a flash, as if he was still holding a person in his hand. At the same time, a strip of cloth was thrown down from the mountain, which read: "Take a thousand taels of gold and three carts of weapons, and come to exchange people!" ”

There was an uproar.

"The Tiansheng envoy was captured by the mountain bandits!"

==

Tiansheng envoy Wei Hou Ye was captured by the mountain bandits, causing Xiliang and Tiansheng's team to be shocked, headless flies gathered together to discuss the rescue of people, the disgraced Qiu commander reinvigorated his spirits, said that he was the only one who wanted to save Lord Wei, and haughtily pulled a group of Xiliang officials to discuss the "combat rescue plan", Tiansheng side of the two deputy envoys to listen, and said that they were not according to the mountain bandits' request to send a ransom to save the hostages, and was unceremoniously pushed out by Commander Qiu in the name of "military secrets should not be divulged to other countries", the two deputy envoys looked at each other, While sulking, I was also wondering - Master Gu, who had always been inseparable from Wei Hou and Meng Meng, why was he not by his side this time? With Lord Gu here, how could Wei Hou take people captive?

Master Gu also seemed to be a little anxious - just a little, when the news of Feng Zhiwei's abduction came, he let out an unflapping "ah", if everyone didn't know that this person had always spoken like this, they were afraid that they would suspect him from this tone The old man was not surprised at all, after Young Master Gu passed the "ah", he grabbed his little girl and put it on his shoulder, and said, "I'll save it." Then he disappeared, and everyone looked at his back from afar, opened their mouths wide, and thought to themselves, Master Gu, do you know where to save him?

Here they are disturbing their minds, over there Feng Zhiwei bent under someone's arm, the man blindfolded her with a sleeve, she didn't mind, intoxicated against the wind, the wind whirred leisurely, although this Xiliang is hot and humid, the top of the mountain is still very comfortable, this season is also very good, I haven't been on the mountain for a long time, and now I can enjoy it.

Her posture was too leisurely, her expression was too enjoyable, and the people who were running around the mountain with her looked down and were a little depressed.

Running farther and farther all the way, the mountain road twists and turns, this person doesn't seem to want Feng Zhiwei to recognize the road, and he doesn't want anyone to catch up, he turned around in the mountains for a while, and finally turned a few corners along a deep and tortuous road, Huo Ran's eyes lit up, and he saw that there was a rough and sturdy cottage gatehouse standing in the vast mountain col, and the tower lookout and arrow tower should be complete.

On the flat ground in front of the mountain col, there is a group of teenagers who are practicing martial arts, all of them are naked, punching and kicking in the early autumn wind, heha The sound is endless, seeing that the person is holding Feng Zhiwei over, no one stopped casually, but a man who led the group of teenagers to practice martial arts, closed his hand and said with a smile: "The owner of the village is back?" Who wants you to do it yourself? ”

The man holding Feng Zhiwei nodded casually, and did not speak, Feng Zhiwei turned his head curiously under the armpit of others, all the way through the crowd, looking at the group of teenagers who practiced martial arts with the eyes of an expert, and kept commenting: "...... Well, it's very methodical...... Well, the next game is quite solid...... Hey, why do you pay special attention to the next plate...... Oh, this kind of practice is good to be a cavalryman, and to be a mountain bandit...... Ahem......"

"Shut up!" With a cold drink, the owner of the village above finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the young man who was concentrating on practicing martial arts on all sides had never seen such a boring captive, and he forgot the rules and turned his head to look over, while eating and laughing, he was glared at by the owner of the village, and quickly turned back to practice again.

The owner of the village glanced down at Feng Zhiwei, a little upset, he originally just heard that a group of officers and soldiers would pass by today, and robbed it easily, and he didn't want the officers and soldiers to rob as usual, but the people who came to the rescue after the officers and soldiers were a little unexpected, and it was easy to have a big head who would ride into battle alone, thinking that he could catch a handful, and he didn't want to be wronged It didn't seem to be wronged, he was a little uneasy intuitively, he was afraid that the golden weapon was not fished, but don't lose the foundation he had laid with great difficulty.

He is troubled here, and Feng Zhiwei is also pondering over there, the number of ways this group of people practice martial arts is really like the style of the Tiansheng army, but there are some differences, is it ......

She was sandwiched by the owner of the village all the way into the village, and countless people greeted the owner of the village along the way, but the person just nodded casually, and seemed to be very prestigious.

When the man entered the stockade, he threw Feng Zhiwei to a man who rushed over, and said, "Deal with the prisoners before, watch it tightly!" After thinking about it, he said, "The rice tube is full!" ”

He left after throwing people, and the next thing was replaced by his subordinates, and he never had to worry about it, while walking, he took a betel nut and chewed carelessly, walked a few steps, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the expressions of the people on all sides were very weird, and when he had something on his mind, he would chew betel nut, it seemed that there was nothing to be weird, and he was suddenly alert, and was about to turn around to look at the hostage, when he suddenly found that there was a person walking leisurely beside him, and asked seriously: "Is this a betel nut?" The first time I saw it, I heard that betel nut chewing too much teeth will turn black, how do you maintain this white tooth? Can you teach me? ”

The owner of the village glanced at this person, and suddenly threw the betel nut in his hand, and the betel nut drew a brown arc in mid-air, and he didn't know where to fall, and at the same time, the people who were originally stunned on all sides also moved, and they each drew their knives one after another, and their bodies flashed and surrounded Feng Zhiwei who was speaking.

Feng Zhiwei looked around and said with a smile: "That's how you treat visitors from afar?" ”

The owner of the village turned around, at this time Feng Zhiwei saw him clearly, he was actually a teenager, seventeen or eighteen years old, his handsome face was still a little green, and his eyebrows were extremely handsome.

It is hard to imagine that such a young person can build such a large-scale and magnanimous village, leading this group of fierce people to rob the officers and soldiers, listening to his voice, it was he who gave the order on the cliff to beat Commander Qiu to run away in embarrassment, Feng Zhiwei looked at the eyes of this young village owner, and already had a little appreciation.

She appreciated it, but people didn't buy it, this young man was obviously the kind of genius who was respected and had a proud personality and was dustless, looked at Feng Zhiwei coldly, and said: "There are two times, but let me tell you, my Tianfeng Village has always been able to come and go." ”

"Tianfeng Village?" Feng Zhiwei muttered about this somewhat feminine village name, there was a strange light floating in his eyes, and said with a smile: "As long as I come, I can do it, but I can't go if I can go...... Let's see. ”

The young village owner snorted coldly and was about to speak, when he suddenly reacted, "You deliberately wanted to be taken in by me?" ”

"The children can be taught." Feng Zhiwei nodded with satisfaction, raised his feet and walked to the main hall in front, "Come, let's take a look at Tianfeng Village." ”

She was so in the encirclement, talking to herself, walking to the people's land, the attitude was like the boss came to inspect the territory of her subordinates, the young village owner stared, was stunned by such a chic and domineering "hostage", stunned for a moment before reacting, Tie Qing's face was blue, and he drank coldly, "Stop!" Flashing his front arm, he had already grabbed Feng Zhiwei's shoulder like lightning!

When he grabbed it, he took a whirring palm wind, and it was obvious that he had moved his real anger, but Feng Zhiwei didn't even look back, he stepped sideways with his shoulders, his right hand crossed a semicircle in mid-air, and the other party's eagle claws collided with each other with a "snap", and after the muffled sound, Feng Zhiwei's shoulders shook, but the young man stepped back, and after taking a step back, he stood still, and the red tide on his face surged, and then faded, and was replaced by green qi in a flash.

He stared at Feng Zhiwei's back who never looked back, his face was ugly, and everyone looked at each other, not understanding what happened to the owner of the village who had always been invincible, as if he had suffered a loss? Also, why don't you keep doing it?

Feng Zhiwei had already turned his head, glanced at the other party, and said gently: "It's good for young people to have sharp energy, but don't be too reckless, look at you, you should have taken three steps back, and you refused to retreat, this internal injury, right?" ”

She is only eighteen or nineteen years old, but she is old-fashioned when she teaches people, the young man is so angry that he laughs, he opened his mouth and was about to refute, his mouth was open, Feng Zhiwei suddenly flicked his fingers, and a touch of black light flashed into his mouth, the young man was caught off guard, it was too late to shut up, he only felt a bitter in his mouth, the pill had gone down his throat, and it dissolved instantly, he was shocked and wanted to induce vomiting, and suddenly felt that under the breath, a hot flow rose in his body, walking through the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, where the heat flow passed, just now he refused to retreat and caused the internal breath to backsurge, The nasty and vomiting organs are much more comfortable.

He was stunned, only then did he know that the other party gave excellent medicine for the injury, not only cured the internal injury just now, but also improved his internal strength, according to which he should be thanked, but looking at the embarrassing confrontation at this time, he really didn't know what to say, he had always been smart and changeable, but now he was rubbing a teenager of the same age over and over again, and he didn't know what medicine the other party sold in the gourd.

Feng Zhiwei had already turned around freely, looked at the people around him, and said with a smile: "Your family's martial arts foundation is extremely solid, but the lack of change is not in order, although it is enough to protect itself now, but if there is a first-class master, I am afraid that it will be easy to wipe out the whole army." ”

He also pointed to the group of teenagers practicing martial arts outside, and said, "Those teenagers are uneven, why do they want to practice martial arts together?" Some people are already ripe, but some people can't keep up, the rotten ones are wasting time, and the ones who can't keep up are in vain. ”

He also pointed to the cottage and said: "Although this mountain col is hidden, it is by no means a place to live, although there is a cliff above it, but it is not impossible to climb, once people are aware of the terrain from the mountain wall, with archers on all sides to suppress, are you not trapped in the middle and beaten?" ”

She said a few words, from the layout of the entire village, personnel arrangements, martial arts learning, and even the arrangement of people's open and dark whistles, everyone listened quietly, some people seemed to understand, but some people had a light in their eyes, and gradually put down the weapons in their hands.

The young owner of the village also listened to it, but his proud nature still made him can't help but argue, "What do you know, this is our ......"

"Jun'er, shut up!"

A deep shout suddenly came, and the people on all sides looked back and bowed down, and said loudly: "Old village master! ”

Feng Zhiwei looked back, and saw a yellow-faced middle-aged man standing in front of the main hall at some point, supported by two men, looking at her seriously, and then heard the young man protest and say, "Dad, you-"

"Shut up." The man waved his hand resolutely, turned to Feng Zhiwei, and had already changed his kind expression, and said, "This is the dog Shaojun, making the guests laugh." ”

Feng Zhi smiled and looked at him with his hands, and said indifferently: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Her attitude of trusting made the young man named Shaojun so angry that he had green tendons on his neck, but he didn't dare to intervene anymore because of his father's majesty.

"In Xia Qiwei, I don't know that the guests are coming from afar, and they are not welcomed," the man's eyes are very special, with a little coolness, a little sadness and a little vigilance, looking at Feng Zhiwei with a heavy gaze, and letting his hand go, "Please also serve tea in the hall." ”

"Please." Feng Zhiwei was not polite, he didn't look at Qi Shaojun, and walked into the main hall with the man, Qi Shaojun was stunned for a long time, stomped his feet, and followed.

"I haven't thanked Mr. for showing mercy to the dog's subordinates and giving medicine just now." The host sat down, and the man thanked him.

Feng Zhi smiled, and his eyes were full of moisture, "It should be." ”

The man didn't ask her why she was called the one she should be, he held the tea bowl and pondered, as if he wanted to ask something but couldn't ask, Feng Zhiwei looked at him, but found that he should not be very old, at most more than forty years old, his face was very similar to Qi Shaojun, but he seemed to have an old disease, his face was golden, his expression was haggard, and he looked much older.

She thought about it, took out a bottle from her arms and handed it over, and said sincerely: "It seems that Uncle Qi has a long-standing illness?" I have some medicine here, or I can try it. ”

Qi Wei looked at her in surprise, thanked her, put the bottle away, and did not eat it immediately.

Suddenly, hearing the sound of footsteps, Qi Shaojun broke in, pointed at Feng Zhiwei, and said loudly: "Daddy, don't take this person's things!" He must be uneasy and kind-hearted for some reason, don't be a spy of the official army! ”

"You get out!" Qi Wei glared and scolded the kid again.

Feng Zhi smiled slightly, thinking that although this child is proud, he can see that he is very filial, otherwise his sick and crooked old father will fall down as soon as he pushes it, where can he override him?

"Looking at Mr.'s accent and demeanor, it doesn't seem like my Xiliangren?" Qi Wei hesitated for a long time, and finally began the first sentence.

Feng Zhi smiled slightly, and replied casually and shockingly.

"I'm Xiliang? General Qi is really joking, how did you become a native of Xiliang? ”

"Bang!"

The tea cup fell to the ground and exploded to pieces, Qi Wei Huoran stood up, Qi Shaojun took a probe to come in and take a look, and was dragged out again.

Feng Zhiwei stood still on the seat, and he didn't even change the action of drinking tea.

"You...... You ......" Qi Wei's voice had become hoarse, and he couldn't squeeze out a complete sentence after saying the word "you" more than a dozen times, his face was flushed, his chest was undulating, and his breath was unsteady, so he had to hold on to the table.

"Help the old village owner sit down and give him a smooth air." Feng Zhi lightly ordered the two male servants, and the two male servants looked at each other, unwilling to listen, but felt that there was a prestige in this person's casual attitude that could not be disobeyed, and stepped forward to support Qi Wei.

Qi Wei brushed away his subordinates, stared at Feng Zhiwei, and struggled to hiss: "Your Excellency must have an explanation today, otherwise my Tianfeng Village, even if I do my best, I will not allow Your Excellency to come and go freely!" ”

"Yes!" Qi Shaojun probed in again and said loudly, "Kill you madman!" "Dragged away again.

Feng Zhiwei put down the tea bowl, looked at Qi Wei, and smiled faintly, "Tianfeng Village, Tianfeng Village...... But the sky of prosperity, the phoenix of the fire phoenix? ”

When this sentence came out, Qi Wei's body shook again, but Feng Zhiwei had already sighed slightly, got up and looked around, and said leisurely: "I didn't expect to see the only male general in the Fire Phoenix Army back then, one of Qiu Shuai's left and right arms, General Qi." The general disappeared in the battle of Tengshan that year, Qiu Shuai searched for it in many ways but to no avail, and later received news that General Qi and a team under his command died in a battle at the southern foot of Tengshan, and the bones were burned after death...... I don't want the general to be alive! ”

The "Qiu Shuai" that she spit out lightly in her mouth made Qi Wei feel like he was struck by lightning, his eyes widened, and in an instant, those battlefield careers of artillery fire and gunpowder flew from the end of the years to the bottom of his eyes, the years and months of blood-stained yellow sand and white bones and poems, the fiery red phoenix banner flying in the rain of arrows and saltpeter, and the girl general who pointed to his black-haired hunting halberd in front of him, returned in an instant, but it made people feel like a world away.

He looked at the young man in front of him in shock, he suspected that he was the rumored Tiansheng envoy young minister Wei Zhi, but now although he looked like him, what he said made him shocked.

Feng Zhiwei was already silent, drinking tea slowly, Qi Wei realized something, waved away everyone around him, and even Qi Shaojun was driven out of the distance, before he stretched out his hand to Feng Zhiwei, "There is a lookout behind this hall, you can see the scenery of the valley ahead, I don't know if Mr. is interested in going to have a look?" ”

Feng Zhi glanced at him with satisfaction and nodded, this glance shocked Qi Wei's heart againβ€”a calm and stubborn look...... How much like that person!

He suddenly felt a faint throbbing pain in his heart.

The two of them walked into the backroom lookout, which was a wide platform of all wood, built extremely high, and people stood in it and were washed by the wind, and they were free and open.

Feng Zhiwei leaned on the railing of the platform, met Qi Wei's excited and expectant gaze, and slowly took out a cloth in his arms.

The cloth is old, revealing some dark traces, like blood stains, although the texture is sparse due to age, but you can still feel the thick and noble texture of the year.

Qi Wei looked at the small stack that had been carefully folded, and suddenly began to tremble.

Feng Zhiwei picked up the stack of cloth with both hands and handed it to him.

Zivi suddenly took a step back.

Feng Zhiwei was stunned.

Qi Wei had already knelt down, kowtowed first, and then raised his hands high and took the small stack.

Feng Zhi looked at him with a slight smile, watching him tremble his fingers, slowly opening the folded cloth, and when the cloth was all unfolded, he suddenly shook his whole body, and the whole person froze there.

He froze, and the ice sculpture seemed to forget his movements.

The four sides were silent as death, only the mountain wind roared in the hollow, Feng Zhi smiled faintly, but there was a glimmer of light under his eyes.

It was a long time before he slowly lay down, crouching on the blood-colored banner that had long been soaked by time and war, and did not move.

His shoulders trembled slightly, and for a while, a faint trace of water slowly spread from under his x, and on the crimson cloth surface, a dark red trace, continued to expand slowly.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, just because he hasn't reached the sad place.

Lonely soldiers who have been in a foreign country for nearly 20 years, a lonely wanderer who has a home in another country and can't go back, today, 20 years later, finally see the banner that recorded all his glory and pride, and in an instant, 20 years of surging years have passed, and the bright young man in a trance is still yesterday, and then look back at the old man is not there, and the temples have frosted.

Leaving a wisp of space that was cut by fate, it couldn't cross the old moonlight of Guanshan.

After a long time, Qi Wei collected his tears, folded the flag carefully again, returned his hands, and said in a dumb voice: "Thank you, sir...... I never thought that after 20 years of separation, there would be a day when I would see it again in my lifetime...... The old man has no regrets when he dies......"

"The general is depressed!" Feng Zhiwei interrupted him, "I thought that when the general saw this flag, he would cheer and dance!" ”

Qi Wei looked at her in a daze, showed a wry smile, and muttered for a while: "What else can I do?" The world is peaceful, the four seas are peaceful, the fire phoenix banner is sinking, and the fire phoenix army has also been annihilated...... What else? ”

Feng Zhi smiled and said nothing, Qi Wei said softly: "Qiu Shuai...... How are you now? Although she has no military power, if she wants to come to Emperor Tiansheng to read her merits, she must be very kind to her, right? ”

"She's dead." Feng Zhiwei replied most directly and cruelly, even with a little indifference.

Qi Wei was shocked, staggered back, looked up at Feng Zhiwei, and exclaimed: "You lie to me, it's impossible-"

"Back then, the Huofeng Army was disbanded, and the handsome woman returned to Beijing." Feng Zhiwei stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the vast mountains and seas lightly, "At first, the emperor was good to her, but then there was news that the palace wanted to accept the handsome woman as a concubine, she didn't want to, so she went away to the end of the world, and came back a few years later, her husband had passed away, with a pair of children, and in desperation, she protected her brother and sister-in-law, and under the fence of the Qiudu Governor's Mansion, she suffered from the white eyes because of her unmarried childbirth, and it was easy to pull a pair of children to adulthood, but because she was involved in an old case of the Dacheng crown prince, the emperor suspected that she harbored the orphans of the Dacheng royal family, and a cup of poisoned wine gave death to the Dacheng crown prince, and the handsome woman was a sign of heart…… Touched the pillar and died. ”

A bloody and bloody ending, to her mouth to understate, only because of the understatement and can feel the coldness and loneliness of the forest, Qi Wei listened in a daze, trembling all over, his face was pale and not like a human color, and he hissed for a while: "Impossible...... No way...... What a credit she has to Tiansheng...... Emperor...... The emperor can't be so cold! ”

He said that it was impossible, but he had already seen from Feng Zhiwei's eyes that this most terrible word was the truth, and people like Feng Zhiwei would never joke about this kind of thing.

He was stunned in a cold sweat, leaning against the railing of the platform, sliding down softly, sliding on the ground, and he didn't get up, so let himself fall into the dust.

I thought that the dissolution of Huofeng was also a good thing for her, a woman, or should return to the family husband and children, that is the destiny of life, I thought that she must have married and had children in Dijing over the years, and lived a happy and rich life, every time she was born these years, he would climb high and wish her peace and happiness, and a worry-free life, at that time he was in the cool and humid wind in the west, missing the dry snow of Tiansheng Dijing, missing the woman with black eyes in the snow, because of the long and satisfied thoughts, with a light and desolate smile.

She and the homeland, is his distant dream, but also all the lives of the old Tiansheng in Xiliang, not no one tried to go back, but after she expelled Yin Zhiliang, he was urgently recalled to Beijing to relieve the military power, the new commander in the south was jealous of the ability, and the old Qiu Shuai father and daughter have been jealous for a long time, they have been in the hands of Qiu Shuai's father and daughter, the old generals who were scattered, once they go back, they will be beheaded and abandoned the city according to the charge of Xiliang and desertion, and he was seriously injured and left in Xiliang, and was rescued by the local people's daughters, When the injury healed all the way back to Tiansheng, the city tower of Tianshui Pass has been hung with countless "fine" heads, all of which are his brothers and comrades, looking at him sadly in the wind, so far he has no idea of coming back, year after year, until now.

He has always thought that although the mountains and seas are far away, it is difficult to see them in his life, but as long as she lives well somewhere in this world, he has no regrets.

He has always thought that he must not live long because of this disease, and when he is about to die, he will desperately find a way to go back to the imperial capital once, not to disturb her, pretend to be a beggar, sneak a look at her in a corner, and see that she is really fine, and then, die near her, die in the land of Tiansheng, and smile and look at her.

He imagined the snowy Imperial Palace, and she stopped at the corner of the alley for him, a beggar, and crouched down beside him, giving him the last and fullest pity in his life, and smiled intoxicated at that imagination.

However.

Dreams shattered so brutally.

He was still planning the dream for a long time, and the person who wanted to die beside her had already turned into dry bones, and disappeared without a trace in the howling wind of the four seas.

He fell to the ground, only to feel that his heart was empty, like old window paper, blown by the wind of fate, cracked countless holes, which could never be repaired.

In the emptiness, he heard Feng Zhiwei's voice, which seemed to be real and illusory, ringing in his ears.

"The birds are good and the bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey is cooked, how wide the world is, how cold and thin the emperor is, she died in the Tiansheng Palace Ning'an Palace, when she died, the snow was flying, and after her death, a thin coffin, this is the Tiansheng Dynasty, this is the final fate of the meritorious heroine...... My General Qi...... She was the most reliable general back then, when you were ignorant, no one blamed you for being silent, and now that you know, what should you do? ”

Qi Wei slowly raised his head, and for a moment, his handsome face was wrinkled and furrowed, as if he had aged ten years.

After a while, he said in a low voice: "Over the years, I have never forgotten my homeland, I have never forgotten the fire phoenix, I have collected the old departments scattered in Xiliang back then, first developed under me, and then sent them to various mountains to earn a living, Xiliang has been chaotic all these years and has no time to take care of us, our forces have developed very well, my family is Shaojun, and now I am the leader of the Green Forest Alliance in the entire Xiliang West......"

Feng Zhiwei laughed softly.

She turned around, propped her hands on the platform, raised her head slightly, and listened to the sound of birds crossing quickly in the vast sea of clouds in the vast mountains, and the white clouds in the sky were like flocculent, like the light feathers that the flying phoenix inadvertently shook off.

Vaguely, I seem to see the smiling faces of the deceased, looking down at the clouds with a smile, and the eyes are wide and expectant.

She closed her eyes, the moist wind was like a cold kiss, touching her cheeks, she was in that kiss of the ice sea, let her mind go far away, far away from the four seas, but some slight pain, sinking deep in the atrium.

Hearing Qi Wei behind him, he asked, "I want to reorganize the old department...... In what name? ”

The corners of her lips curled, not a smile, just a cold arc.

She said:

"Fire Phoenix."
