Chapter 64: The Xiongnu Invasion

・Shangdang County, the Great Wall Pass.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the entire Shangdang is covered with a heavy earthy yellow, and the fiery red sunset at the turn of the sky reflects each other, compared to the coast of the East China Sea, but it is a different scenery, on the majestic Great Wall, the huge winch that can accommodate eight horses in parallel is carved with delicate dragon patterns, and the giant rope with thick arms winds down, pulling the huge jack copper gate.

On the winding peaks, there are more Qin troops stationed in groups of ten and among the beacon towers, surrounded by two pairs of Qin soldiers who are meticulously ordinary by the daughter wall that is rammed with loess, and the Qin crossbow in their hands flashes with a little cold light.

The night is swallowing up the sunset little by little, beyond the Great Wall is an endless grassland, in late autumn, the original green wilderness turns into layers of withered glory and shakes gently in the wind, the herdsmen outside the city are driving their cattle and sheep through the pass back to the inner city, and soon the city gate will be closed, for the herdsmen of the border of Qin, they have long been accustomed to such days.

Since the old Qin people migrated here, they have landed here deep roots, generation after six hundred years and unchanged, they use the spear in their hands, the vicious Hu people again and again blocked back, the sunset, a man in a gray robe, slowly patrolling the Great Wall, a simple shape of the long sword quietly hung on his Yang Jian, the scabbard on the pattern is extremely exquisite, every time you walk past a sentry this young general will pat the shoulder of the soldiers defending the city, and the soldiers' eyes are also extremely respectful, There is even a hint of fanaticism, he is Meng Tian's sibling Meng Yi!

Compared with Meng Tian's might, fortitude, Meng Yi is more elegant and handsome, he was transferred to the front line from the imperial study of His Majesty the First Emperor, originally the internal history, Meng Tian went east to Songhai and then Meng Yi was transferred to the border pass Shangdang County.

Just facing the sunset, leaning against the battlement wall, watching the last group of herdsmen enter the pass safely, Meng Yi habitually smiled slightly, another peaceful day, this feeling is really good.

There is no war, no turmoil, the people abide by the law, live and work in peace and contentment, read and practice calligraphy in their spare time, and they are relatively fond of Meng Tian who is fighting horses, but Meng Yi likes this kind of life.

Although the Mengshi family is a martial arts family, it has been passed down to this day that there are two major generals, Meng Tian and Meng Yi, and His Majesty the First Emperor can be described as respecting the Mengshi family.

Slowly walking down the city tower, the soldiers also changed their guards one after another, and in this seemingly calm dusk, no one noticed that dozens of black shadows had come to the foot of the Great Wall.

……………………

Xianyang, Yingzheng Dormitory.

The time has passed, and Yingzheng, who has been busy for a day, is preparing to rest, but the bell suddenly rings in the forbidden palace, which is the bell of the early warning.

Since the Great Qin Shang Dynasty changed the law, whenever there is a major military event, the border is urgent, this alarm bell will be remembered, after the memory of Ying Zheng, the last time I heard such a bell was indeed when the Qin State destroyed Chu Li Xin was defeated!

Suddenly, Yingzheng was completely sleepy, and he didn't even have time to put on his shoes and socks, so he ran out of the door and shouted, "Someone-!" ”

"Your Majesty, there is military intelligence delivered at the border pass."

An attendant bowed down and knelt beside Ying Zheng, presenting an urgent report to the border.

"Transcribe it into the Red Dragon Scroll, quickly spread the message to Songhai, and the Golden Fire Cavalry will return at full speed without mistake!"

After reading the report at a glance and ten lines, Ying Zheng rewrote the red dragon scroll and sent it to Songhai, and Ying Zheng felt a hint of coolness in the late autumn night.

With a movement of his eyes, he felt that his shoulders sank slightly, and a fur coat fell lightly on his shoulder, "Your Majesty is cool in late autumn, let's go into the house." ”

The voice was extremely soft, but there was a hint of indelible flattery, and Ying Zheng's brows unconsciously relaxed, "Hu Ji (Hu Hai's mother), you go in, I still have urgent military affairs to deal with, you don't have to wait." ”

When a sentence fell, his own personal attendant stepped forward to change clothes for Yingzheng, "Fax the will to announce, and the ministers will enter the main hall of Xianyang Palace to discuss matters!" ”

In an instant, the palace guards rushed to the ministers' homes to deliver the decree, none of them had read the military report, but the border pass was urgent, for the Great Qin people, they thought it was war, the Qin State was knighted with military merits, and the old Qin people would never be afraid of war!

………………

Songhai City, General's Mansion.

"Childe, Xianyang urgent!"

The people who were sitting in Fusu's study quietly waiting for the news did not wait for the news of the star soul, but waited for the urgent report of Xianyang, and it was the Red Dragon Scroll!

"Immediately recall General Meng, and the Golden Fire Cavalry hurried back to Xianyang."

When the words fell, their own soldiers went to find tomorrow.

"Two gentlemen, in addition to the Red Dragon Scroll, my father has another letter coming, in which he said that he wants Mr. Dongjun to march to the border with General Meng, and Mr. Night Emperor is to return to Xianyang to wait for his father's will!"

Fusu's words made Dongjun and Yan Hong stunned, the Hu people violated the border pass, and they actually wanted to recall the two of them, the two of them who had always had a grudge against each other, but at this moment they tacitly looked at each other, and they tasted a trace of unusual taste from each other's eyes.

"In that case, please let me wait for a little preparation." Dongjun bowed his hand and said.

"Hmm...... This is also reasonable, so tomorrow at sunrise, the two will return with General Meng. ”

"Yes, obey Childe's orders."

Immediately, the two walked out of Fusu's study side by side, and when their eyes met again, Dongjun finally spoke.

"What do you think?"

"The mirage is about to set sail, no coincidence, the Huns are also invading at this time, if there is no one behind it, I'm afraid you don't believe it." Yan Hong slowly said his guess.

"It seems that the Mo family should not die...... You go and find the star soul, if you are in a hurry tonight, I am afraid that there will be some errands. Dongjun is still a little uneasy about his number one horse boy, "The Mo family consciousness trapped beast fight, with the strength of the star soul, will something happen?" Yan Hong began to change the topic, and he wished that the star soul would have braids.

"I'm afraid I'm afraid that he will go his own way!" As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Hong suddenly frowned, because he saw that Dongjun's gaze seemed to have changed at this moment, with a hint of imperceptible scrutiny, 'Could it be that he found something?' ’

Yan Hong muttered in his heart, but he didn't want to excuse himself, and turned around and walked towards the gate of the General's Mansion.

Walking through the layers of doorways, Yan Hong kept his face strained, which was normal in the eyes of the disciples of the Yin and Yang Family.

It is not a secret that the Night Emperor and Dongjun are at odds in the Yin and Yang family, and now they are forced to get together under the pressure of the empire, and some friction is inevitable.

Dongjun has been paying attention to Yan Hong's expression, and seeing that he really has an ice cube face, he is very concerned, "Maybe it's really me who is too careful, how can the personal disciple of His Excellency Donghuang be ......?"

Yan Hong walked between the mountain roads, not hurrying or slow, for the person of the star soul, if he can use it, he will use it, if he can't use it for himself, then ...... Thinking of this, Yan Hong's eyes unconsciously crossed a trace of ruthlessness.

In the forest, a bewitching woman in red was waiting for him with a smile, it was Chi Lian, "Why did you come, everyone is freezing to death here!" The voice was soft and glutinous, and the soft body that stepped forward had already been pasted.

Yan Hong couldn't help but feel a flash in his heart, and looked at the gorgeous fur on Chilian's shoulder, "Isn't this thing cold from the cold?" ”

"Then you mean that people are doing it on purpose......" With a pretty face and a pout, you can hang a soy sauce bottle.

Yan Hong slapped his forehead, he is also a master of the subtle realm, and with the addition of fur, your coquettish and stupid methods are also a little more advanced.

"Stop playing, are you ready for what I want?" Holding the red lotus's arm, Yan Hong returned to the topic.

"I've been here for a long time, and I was in the city yesterday." The red lotus let go of Yan Hong's hand, and the small steps were extremely elegant, until a formation from the depths of the world came into Yan Hong's eyes.
