How he wished that she could take the initiative to tell about the year's separation, about the rumored marriage, but he didn't have the courage to take the initiative to ask, even if it was just the corner of the story, he was too afraid of her vacillation, too afraid that the man would occupy the slightest place in her heart, so he kept silent and did not touch this sensitive time.

However, Zhen Yue didn't mention a word, she just felt that yesterday's past, after a glance, there was no need to mention it, if Ah Qiu asked in person, she would definitely know everything and say everything, but he didn't ask anything, there was a faint loss in his heart, but there was a lightness, or the complicated time of this year was not as calm as she thought.

Sometimes unscrupulous honesty may be able to dissolve some stasis, but once there are scruples, the speculation that breeds in the heart will become a tumor, and finally sprout and grow wildly until it rots and loses its original beauty.

On the eighth day of the first month of February, the battle of Xining spread throughout the southwest, the 100,000 horses of Xitan suffered heavy losses, and the prisoners of war were as large as 20,000, and the precarious Xining was at the end of the defeat of the war, and the force was raging, and the horn of victory was sounded with the momentum of the besieging army, and the 30,000 Yunchuan army that suddenly surrendered was lured by the ambush and hid in the deep forest of Xining, only 10,000 horses went to the rescue of Lixia, and Lixia was also captured by Dongtan at the same time, and the other 20,000 horses were the Tiexiao army that came from Yongdu.

After the poor mountains and bad waters, the land is barren, Xitan spent tens of thousands of troops to capture such a broken land, become the laughing stock of the world, more serious domestic situation, turmoil intensified, tens of thousands of Xitan people in the war upside down, but they did not dare to migrate to Dongtan.

Dongtan victory, the power of crazy growth, but fell insincerely, the curtain of the past, has long been out of the slogan for the people, although the internal officials of Dongtan tried their best to explain, it is Xitan cunning and evil, so that the Yunchuan army that went to the rescue was trapped in the trap, and in the Xining crisis, only to resist the king's order to return to Xining, it is really a helpless move.

After all, the people did not have the courage to pursue it, so they could only hang their heads, mourn the chaos of the times, and swallow their grievances under the strength, still holding on to the hope emanating from the commander.

When Zhen Yue knew the ins and outs of the matter, it was already noon the next day.

Last night, she and Ah Qiu stayed on the roof for a whole night, talking to each other, talking about the past when you were a child, and it was not until dawn that Zhen Yue fell asleep on Ah Qiu's shoulder, and when Ah Qiu carried her back to the house, for a moment, she didn't know where she was, and when she smelled the incense of agarwood on the tip of her nose, she suddenly realized that she had really left Beiying.

All night, Zhen Yue didn't sleep well, always dreaming one dream after another, covered in cold sweat, and when she woke up, she had already forgotten the qiē in her dream.

Zhen Yue was eating and changing clothes under the service of the maid, and it was already noon when she went out.

Xining opened the city gate, lured the enemy to go deeper, a fire burned the city tower and the street, it was early in the morning, the county guard took his subordinates and the people to rebuild their homes and repair the city tower.

In the short distance from the county shou Beppu to the training ground, news from all sides came one after another, Zhen Yue listened to the guards' private discussions, and also figured out the joints encountered in these days.

Her eyebrows frowned slightly, after thinking about it, she couldn't resist the stubbornness in her heart, and when she arrived at the training ground, on the high attic, the man was dressed in a military uniform, with a picturesque eyebrow.

The wide training ground, the sound of uniform drills, the soldiers' expressions were strict, and under the training of the generals, the movements were rigorous and solemn.

The soldiers in Xitan all witnessed the scene of the gathering between the prince and Zhen Yue yesterday, so they did not stop Zhen Yue when they saw it, and they would secretly look at Zhen Yue in private, but they didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

"Girl, why did you come here, here are all rough men who don't know how to be polite, lest the sword hurt the girl."

A voice that was neither humble nor arrogant sounded beside him, and Zhen Yue withdrew her gaze on the high platform and looked at it with her eyebrows furrowed.

The man was dressed in armor, his body was exceptionally tall, his facial features were delicate, but his eyebrows were stiff, Zhen Yue recognized this person at a glance, it was Chen Heng, the deputy general of the Yunchuan Army who had just been promoted.

"It turned out to be Vice General Chen, and I also came in the shadow of the sword and sword, so I am not afraid."

Chen Heng was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had said the wrong thing, the woman in front of him was not an ordinary lady, but a female killer with a name for unicorn, or a talented woman with a growing reputation.

Chen Heng pointed to the pavilion not far away and said: "The training is about to end, the girl will wait here first, I will pass it on, the prince is usually strict, and his subordinates dare not disturb him." ”

Zhen Yue squinted at the familiar figure on the high platform, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait here." ”

After speaking, he walked straight towards the pavilion, Chen Heng slowly raised his eyebrows, looked at the woman's thin figure like a sword scabbard, and the corners of his mouth hooked, a little ignoring and mocking.

Zhen Yue waited for half an hour, and she didn't see Ah Qiu coming, so she heard a commotion sound, she looked for prestige, and saw the volunteers surrounding the weapons rope, everyone looked envious, and when she saw the patrol team in Xitan, she was even more yearning.

Ji Jianxuan also made a little trouble with them, but repeatedly told him not to mess up military discipline, and when he saw the girl in the pavilion, he was slightly stunned, and then walked towards the pavilion.

"Why don't you rest well, I've been nervous these days, and now I should recuperate more at home." Ji Jianxuan sat opposite Zhen Yue and poured himself a cup of tea.

Zhen Yue didn't answer, but just looked at the neat and majestic Xitan soldiers in the distance, and her heart became more and more firm and clear about the direction of the future, and she said quietly: "Thank you, Ji Jianxuan." ”

Ji Jianxuan smiled slightly, naturally understood what she meant, and said slowly: "I have already repaid your kindness, so you don't have to thank me anymore." ”

The corners of Zhen Yue's mouth raised: "I remember a year ago, you said that when our kindness is over, you will take my life, back then, you escorted Ah Qiu back to Dongtan, you don't owe me a long time ago, and my life is still kept for you." ”

"Haha." Ji Jianxuan smiled loudly, and his voice sighed in vain, and his eyes were far away: "You can't help yourself, even if you don't kill Fan Si, someone else will kill him, and it is a matter of time before General Lu is killed, from the collapse of the country to the loss of the river, this year, I understand a truth, the chaotic times are fighting for hegemony, changing rapidly, how can there be thousands of generations, the death of Shu is the defeat of the foundation has been rotten, I just feel guilty about General Lu's high hopes for us, even at the last moment of the country's destruction, I can't go to the battlefield, you say, what is the use of wanting your life." ”

Zhen Yue listened quietly, and was surprised that Ji Jianxuan had changed so much, and there was no trace of the recklessness and resentment in him, she smiled lightly: "There are no thousands of generations, but there is an eternal heart, love the country and the people, and fight for the future, I believe that General Lu can feel your fiery heart, and will not be disappointed, as long as the sun still rises, we have no reason to retreat, the country is dead, the heart cannot die, Shu Kingdom, Tan Kingdom, Beiying, Tudan, Xirong, Nanban, you think their borders are obvious, but in my opinion, Everyone is a citizen of China, and it is only by submitting to the overlords of all parties that there is a division of these regions. “
