At night, An Xiaoxiao's room.

The candles on the celadon candlesticks are half burned, and the candles flicker and dance in the breeze.

It was a particularly quiet night, and there was a sound of beating outside the wall, and it was already daytime. At this time, An Xiaoxiao has already rested, and today she specially sent away the servants and waited patiently.

After another moment, there was a knock on the door. Ao Xue and Xia Qing are finally here.

Their eyes were still a little red and swollen, and their faces were pale, but their emotions were much calmer.

"Xiaoxiao, did it scare you during the day today?" Aoxue asked.

An Xiaoxiao nodded her little head, looked honest, and replied: "That's right, I'm stupid!" ”

Xia Qing stretched out his jade finger and poked her forehead: "I still don't know about you, I'm afraid that when I see King Yama, my face won't change, how can I be stupid?" ”

Xia Qing practiced martial arts, and he was very energetic. An Xiaoxiao touched the poked forehead, thinking of the first time she saw the Hades, she couldn't help but smile, and did not refute Xia Qing.

Xia Qing finished poking An Xiaoxiao, but there was no banter on her face, she glanced at Ao Xue, and said again: "Xiaoxiao, Sister and I have something to tell you." ”

An Xiaoxiao beckoned them to sit down, and lit the requiem incense she made in the incense burner, which added a lot of rejuvenating materials to help people calm their emotions and calm their minds.

Ao Xue smelled the light fragrance coming in her nose, smoothed out the last wave in her heart, and asked, "Xiaoxiao, do you know the Battle of Feijian Gorge?" ”

An Xiaoxiao nodded solemnly: "This battle is so famous, how can Xiaoxiao not know?" ”

Ten years ago, the Hanyu tribe in the north invaded the territory on a large scale, and the emperor Baili Jin at that time sent the general Mu Feiyang to lead troops to resist. The Mu family is a military genius, and Mu Feiyang also lived up to expectations, pressing the Hanyu army outside the Feijian Gorge Pass, and was not allowed to enter the country again.

Mu Feiyang wanted to force Hanyu's army back to the north and regain the lost territory, so he rushed to repair a letter and asked the emperor for his life, hoping to get the support of the army. Unexpectedly, at this time, the treasury was empty, and there was not enough material guarantee, so Baili Jin ordered him to stay at the Feijian Gorge Pass and not act rashly. As a result, the initiative was lost, resulting in a confrontation between the two armies, which lasted for half a year in a stalemate outside the Guanli Guan.

When winter came, our army was short of supplies, but rear support was delayed. Hanyu has been planning for a long time, and there is no shortage of supplies at all, not to mention, the Hanyu clan has lived in the north for a long time and is very adaptable to the cold weather. The situation at the border is gradually tilting towards Hanyu.

At this time, Baili Jin finally raised enough food and sent a general from the Mu family's army who stayed in the capital to escort him. Who would have expected that something went wrong during the escort, hundreds of escort troops died mysteriously, and the material vehicles were burned in place, but the general was nowhere to be found. The capital received a tip-off, and the emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. Later, someone reported that the general was treason and revealed the path of escorting military funds to the enemy. Baili Jin was angry and ordered dozens of members of the general's family to be executed.

However, Bailijin's anger obviously did not help the situation at the border pass. Han Yu learned that Mu Feiyang lacked material assistance, so he sent additional troops to forcibly capture Feijian Gorge with an army of 100,000. Our military strength is no more than 10,000 people, and there is a huge disparity between us and the enemy.

The tragedy of that battle, An Xiaoxiao has no way of knowing. She only knew that the Mu family army suffered heavy casualties in this battle and was almost wiped out. In the end, in order to protect the border pass, Mu Feiyang took an elite army of 300 people to cross the Feijian Gorge in the dark, and made a desperate bet to assassinate a prince who led the army of Hanyu in the enemy camp. Mu Feiyang deserves to be the first general of the Sitong Country, and he let him succeed with one blow. But on the way back to Sitongguo, they were frantically intercepted and killed by the enemy, and the team of 300 people died tragically in the Flying Sword Gorge. Mu Feiyang also killed himself after trying his best.

They sacrificed their lives to buy time for the Sitong Kingdom, Mu Yige's father Mu Chengxiu arrived with the army, and the other party was forced back to the north because of the loss of the general.

It can be said that it was those 300 people who exchanged their deaths for ten years of stability in the country of Sitong.

"That's all I know!" After An Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she opened her round eyes and waited to hear what Ao Xue said.

Ao Xuemei's eyes were filled with tears again, her appearance was originally feminine, and at this time I was even more pitiful.

"Xiaoxiao-" Ao Xue and Xia Qing clasped each other's hands, and finally said their background: "I never told you our surname." Our surname is Ruan, and we are the daughter of the rebel general in the Mu family's army. ”

An Xiaoxiao's face changed slightly, and she quickly recovered, pursed her lips, and asked, "How did you escape punishment?" ”

Ao Xue couldn't stop crying, and Xia Qing replied, "It's not thanks to those traffickers. After my father set out to transport grain, the two of us stayed with my mother at my grandfather's house. Once, when he went out on the street, he was abducted by human traffickers. Only then did he escape. ”

Their sisters, who are twins, are naturally the favorite targets of human traffickers. After being caught, they were sold several times, and their value became higher and higher, until they met three-year-old An Xiaoxiao and rescued them from the hands of the old bustard......

While they were being sold, they learned of the tragic news of their family. My father became a traitor to the people of the whole country, and the whole family was tortured, and they were trapped in a dark cage. God knows how desperate and helpless these two young children should be. No wonder, Aoxue was so frightened that she lost her voice.
