In June 921 of the Xia calendar, Jiang Duan and Wei Zhang, and their troops attacked Nangong Sui in two ways, but they all ended in failure.

Jiang Duan was trapped in a small town outside the city of Yangyang, and Wei Zhang marched from the northern slope of Huayin Mountain, and his plan to smuggle in water was discovered by Nangong Sui. Wei Zhang was ambushed, and had no choice but to retreat to the northern slope.

Nangong Sui also ordered Zhang Ge and Yu Mao to guard the north and south slopes of Huayin Mountain respectively, so that Wei Zhang could not go down the mountain.

Subsequently, the 20,000 Lin Wei who disappeared in the East China Sea surrendered to Nangong Sui, and Feng Luping was the general of the expedition to the sea, leading 25,000 people to guard the Huayin Mountain Gorge.

The news spread to the East China Sea, causing an uproar, I didn't expect Nangong Sui to be such a difficult bone!

His Royal Highness, the eldest prince of the East China Sea, and the little prince of the Marquis of Minzhou were besieged by Nangong Sui's army, Jiang Zhen and Wei Ping couldn't sit still, after discussion, Wei Ping mobilized 50,000 Minzhou elites from Minzhou, and went to Huayin Mountain to rescue in the starry night.

never thought that Lu Ping held the Huayin Mountain Canyon, which can be described as a one-man pass, and ten thousand people can't open it.

Wei Ping attacked for more than ten days, after seven major battles and more than ten small battles, he failed to break through Luping's defensive line.

And at the time of the stalemate, news came from Minzhou, the army of the Northern Mongolian in Chu bypassed the south and left the city, and raided the city of Minzhou, Wei Ping Sanziqiao Wuwei General Wei Xiao died under the chaotic arrows of Northern Mongolia, and the whole line of Minzhou was in an emergency, forcing Wei Ping to withdraw his troops and return to Minzhou.

The news soon spread all over the world, and everyone in the East China Sea was in danger.

At this time, it was already the middle of July, in a small town called Ping'an at the junction of Zhongshan and the East China Sea.

It was already nightfall, a round moon hung in the sky, and a girl in cloth clothes sat on a tree with a big crooked neck in the courtyard of the thatched house, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and her thoughts wandered to nine heavens away.

Out of the hut came a man in a short gray robe, still holding a steaming dish in his hand.

He put the dishes on the stone table in the courtyard, looked up and shouted to the girl, "Shen Yu, come down for dinner." ”

These two people are Jiang Shenyu and Xu Xiang, who escaped from the East China Sea before.

After the two left the East China Sea, I don't know what the reason was, Jiang Shenyu suddenly fell ill and couldn't afford to get sick.

They originally planned to go to Ningdu, but they could only stay in Ping'an Town, and after a few days of recuperation, Jiang Shenyu finally got better.

Jiang Shenyu jumped lightly from the tree and fell, and Xu Xiang saw a tear from the corner of her eye.

"What's wrong, Shenyu?" Xu Xiang asked softly.

Jiang Shenyu sat down without saying a word, picked up the rice bowl, sandwiched a small piece of rice, and put it in his mouth, but he felt dull and tasteless, and the whole person was stunned.

Xu Xiang looked at her appearance and sighed, "If you want to go back to the East China Sea, I will accompany you back." ”

Originally, after a few days of recuperation, Jiang Shenyu's body was almost better, and he could still bounce, and he could almost leave for Ningdu.

So early this morning, after breakfast, the two went to the town to buy some things and prepare to leave.

But when he was in the town, he heard the news of the accident in the East China Sea, and Jiang Shenyu's whole person suddenly became depressed again.

After I came back, I stayed on the crooked neck tree, not knowing what I was thinking.

But Xu Xiang knew that Jiang Duan was besieged, and she must be very anxious in her heart, and she was also worried about the East China Sea.

"No...... No need. I...... For Donghai, he is already a dead man, even if he goes back, he will ...... Can't do anything. Jiang Shenyu looked at Xu Xiang's gentle gaze, and there was a hint of dodge, with a deep sadness in his words.

He naturally knew the worries in Jiang Shenyu's heart, and at the same time, he also knew that even if they returned to the East China Sea, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything, only to add to Jiang Shenyu's troubles.

Xu Xiang didn't say anything more, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "Let's eat first, I made your favorite braised fish today, try it quickly." ”

With that, he picked up a piece of fish and put it in her bowl.

Tears flowed down her eyes as she picked up the fish and put it in her mouth, which was fresh and sweet.

"Changsha, I'm really embarrassed for you. You are a dignified seven-foot man, and you are willing to cook for the little woman who sinks fish. I'm afraid that it will make people laugh, so I'll learn to cook in the future, right? ”

"Little fool, you are my wife, what is it to cook for you? Whoever loves to laugh will laugh at it! Xu Xiang said softly, and then shouted into the house, "Old Yang, do you dare to laugh at me?" ”

Yang Dianfeng heard Xu Xiang call his name, walked out of the room with a big bowl full of food, still chewing in his mouth, and said, "Your Highness, how dare your subordinates laugh at you!" Your cooking is so delicious, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it! ”

"Poof!" Jiang Shenyu suddenly laughed, and the smile under this moon actually stunned Xu Xiang.

"Uh...... Your Royal Highness, Princess, you eat slowly, Lao Yang, I won't bother. When Lao Yang saw this scene, he felt a little embarrassed, and went into the house again.

Originally, along the way, Xu Xiang wanted Yang Dianfeng to eat with them, Jiang Shenyu was not there before, Yang Dianfeng was still a little casual, but there was Jiang Shenyu along the way, so he didn't dare to be so casual anymore.

After eating, Yang Dianfeng took the initiative to wash the dishes, and the two of them climbed the crooked neck tree together to admire the moon.

The summer wind was very cool, and Jiang Shenyu leaned on Xu Xiang's arms, which was quiet.

"My mother died early, and when I was a child, I was alone in the palace, helpless! Even my father didn't like me very much, thinking that I had killed my mother. Only the eldest brother, he cares about me everywhere and protects me all the time. ”

Xu Xiang listened quietly to her recollections, this was the first time he listened carefully to a person's story.

"When I was six years old, my eldest brother went to Mount Tai to practice martial arts, and I was very lonely in the palace, and I washed my face with tears all day long. Fortunately, my eldest brother often writes to me and tells me interesting things outside to make me happy. ”

Later, when he came back, he was already a heroic and beautiful young man. At that time, I pestered him to teach me martial arts, and when I first started learning, I was still very serious, but then I started to slack off. My eldest brother told me, it doesn't matter, as long as he is there, no one will dare to bully me! ”

"Until you show up......"

"Big brother doesn't like you very much, and naturally, like my father, he doesn't want me to marry you. At that time, I was forced to die, but my eldest brother relented and promised to help me find a way. ”

"I remember that day, he knelt outside the Zhengyang Hall all night, just to get his father to agree to this marriage."

"I owe too much to my eldest brother."

"Changsha, in this world, there is only the eldest brother and you, who are the people I can't abandon in this life. Do you understand the pain in my heart? ”

Xu Xiang felt very uncomfortable in his heart, this world has always been so strange to him. Even if it was a girl lying in his arms, he was very entangled, how could he be virtuous, and he could still live a life and meet such a woman.

He secretly swore in his heart: "Sinking fish...... I, Xu Xiang, swear that I will live up to you in this life! ”

"Let's go back to the East China Sea!"

"Changsha, let's leave tomorrow and go to Ningdu."

The two spoke almost at the same time, looking at each other with doubts on their faces.

The two of them are saying the opposite, right?

"Actually, I thought about it, I want to take you to Huayin Mountain to save your eldest brother." Xu Xiang said.

In fact, last night, Yang Dianfeng received the news of the Xinghuo Hidden Guard and knew that Jiang Fu was trapped.

Before he could make a decision, whether to tell Jiang Shenyu about it, he learned about the situation in the East China Sea from the town.

After coming back, he also thought about it all day, what to do if Jiang Shenyu insisted on going back to the East China Sea.

Looking at her sullen appearance, Xu Xiang knew that even if she arrived in Ningdu, she would not be happy.

So Xu Xiang decided that he would go to the East China Sea to see if he could find a way to save this eldest brother.

In his previous life, he was a battle-hardened Chinese Dragon Guard, and he experienced countless large battles and small battles, although he didn't know much about ancient wars, but war was nothing more than a few characteristics, one was the strategy and strategy of the commander, the second was the control and use of the terrain, the third was the analysis and analysis of the enemy army, and finally the blood of weapons and soldiers.

"No, the battlefield is so dangerous, I don't want you to risk it." Jiang Shenyu shook his head.

She is a smart woman, even if they return to the East China Sea, it is estimated that they will not be able to save Jiang Xiang, and it will put Xu Xiang in crisis, so she can only hope that Jiang Xiang will come up with a rescue method as soon as possible.

"Shen Yu, do you believe me?" Xu Xiang lifted her up from his arms, put his hands on her wrists, and looked at her sincerely.

Jiang Shenyu nodded.

"Then let's go to Huayin Mountain! Trust me, I'll definitely rescue your big brother! Even if we fail, we die on the battlefield, and we are worthy of it! ”

"But ......" Before she could say anything, Xu Xiang's right hand was placed on her lips, interrupting and said, "Listen to me." ”
