If there really is a heaven, then a pair of eyes overlooking the world will look at the stars and moonlight, and you will find that on the vast earth, tonight will be extraordinarily unpeaceful. Look south and north, the big war will start!

Just when Murong Licheng and Li Mu in the north were working together on their first crucial battle and began to march into Bauhinia Pass, thousands of miles away, under the same night sky, someone was leisurely looking up at the stars hanging in the sky, humming a little song softly in their mouths.

"What are you singing about? Weird! ”

The woman who had been listening quietly to the side for a long time pursed her lips, but she couldn't hear the tone of her voice. There were special musicians in the court of Qi State, and she also studied with them in her spare time. In addition to the ancient music of the qin, the musicians occasionally chanted aloud words and phrases that were difficult to understand. She didn't like it.

However, why does this little song I just listened to in my ears feel so comfortable in my heart? She had never heard anything so nice before. However, there is still the necessary reserve. casually looked at the guy who was lying on the bluestone slab on the side, her eyes were full of joy, but her tone was not friendly.

The grunt stopped. No one noticed that there seemed to be some deep melancholy in the eyes of King Zhao Chujiang Mian, who were as bright as stars, like the vast sky without end. He smiled faintly and replied casually.

"It's a tune I forgot I heard a long time ago...... It's already difficult to get into the hall of elegance, so don't be surprised by the princess. ”

"Who, who's to blame you? It seems to be telling a story...... I've just never heard a tune like this, just ask. ”

Princess Sanssouci felt a fever in her cheeks. Fortunately, no one will see it in the night. After a moment of silence, she finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart, and leaned close to him and asked softly.

"So where did you hear that? Can...... Teach me when you have time! ”

Chu Jiangmian turned his head sideways and looked at the face that was close at hand. Under the moonlight, those soft eyes were full of the innocence of a girl. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have been able to associate this princess at this moment with the image of wielding a sword to kill the enemy on the battlefield.

"Are you sure the princess will like it? The lyrics and songs are a sad story. ”

Chu Jiangmian narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the twinkling stars in the distant night sky. They are so brilliant and so lofty. If it is true, as the legend in the world, that each of the brightest stars represents those great heroes in the long river of history, he does not know if he will have the opportunity to occupy one of them in the future.

"I don't care! Anyway, you're going to teach me the whole thing...... It's still early, can you sing it to me again? ”

The woman wearing armor and holding a sword in one hand suddenly became extremely feminine, with a vague coquettish tone. Although her voice was very low, many of the soldiers around her who were ready to fight could still hear it. However, at this time, no one would be stupid enough to show anything, everyone pretended not to hear, and twisted their heads away as if nothing happened.

Not far away, Lan Lingjun, who had been closely watching the movement in the distance, couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart. Under the noble and generous appearance of Princess Sanssouci, there is already a brutal side, if she stays by Chu Jiangmian's side in the future, I believe that there will be times when this King Zhao has a headache.

However, it was not his expectation. Chu Jiangmian, who looked calm before the big war, nodded and agreed without the slightest hesitation in the face of the childlike request of Princess Sanssouciac. Then, with a somewhat sad voice in the desolation, it gently lingered around it.

“…… I embarked on a journey that stretched for thousands of miles, listening to the songs, sinking like a spring breeze. Obsession in exchange for perseverance, don't ask about the past...... For the front line of confusion and longing, I will go my own way. Who hasn't been so willful? When you meet, you miss the providence, and time lives up to your affection. Love and hate can be seen clearly, but they are left ...... in a hurry. ”

The long grass undulates with the wind, and the valley goes up and down, and it is unusually quiet. A strange feeling arose in the hearts of many of the people who lurked here. They didn't understand what this young King Zhao had gone through, and why there was such a deep understanding in his voice? Especially Princess Sanssouci, she stared intently at the silhouette of that face, like a knife-like outline, sharp and angular, and there was an indescribable charm in the moonlight. She felt the fawn in her heart bumping into each other, and only one voice kept asking herself.

"Has such a man ever been sad? Who failed him, and who made him melancholy and unforgettable......? ”

After a long time, the singing stopped, and spies from afar who heard the news came in a hurry. Chu Jiangmian sat up and took a deep breath. Just as he was about to reach for his cloak, someone had already gently draped it on his body. The carefree princess, who had never served anyone else, had no twisted posture at all, so she naturally tied him with a chest bond.

"Is that Qin Guoming coming?"

"If that's right, it's probably him...... We're going to get ready for war! ”

The faces of the two people were only a few inches apart, and Chu Jiangmian could clearly see the small flames flickering in her eyes. However, to his surprise, Princess Sanssouci didn't ask more about the war. She only asked with an inexplicable smile at the end.

"I think, before Murong Qiancheng, you must have loved another woman deeply, right?"

Chu Jiangmian didn't avoid her gaze, he nodded calmly. Only one "yes" word was answered. Princess Sanssouci seemed to have guessed it a long time ago, and the little stars in her eyes became brighter, and she immediately asked another question with a gossip on her face.

"How long ago was that? Which prince's girl is it? ”

This time, Chu Jiangmian did not give her an affirmative answer. He held the Fengyun Sword, and at the same time pressed the love of children that had just sprung up deep into his heart.

"She's not in this world...... I've forgotten those things for a long time. ”

His words were prosaic. However, Princess Sanssouci felt her angina. Because she saw a flash of pain in this man's face. At this moment, she very much hoped to be able to use her soft hand to heal the invisible wound on his body. However, now is clearly not the time. Because, the armies of Qi and Zhao who are quietly ambushed here, the war they have been waiting for for a long time is finally about to begin!

The small affection between the young King Zhao and the princess of the Qi Kingdom, who was both rigid and soft, was noticed by no one other than the henchmen who were protecting nearby. Ever since all the soldiers had secretly ambushed here in the evening, until now, all of them had been in a state of high spirits. Aside from nervously observing and waiting for news, there was no time for anything else.

It's exciting to think about! Because the person who is about to fight them is a real celebrity. If King Zhao's plan can really succeed, Mu Xueqing, who attacked overnight, will fall into the encirclement they set up in advance.

Even the cavalry of the Zhao State, who had great confidence in the king of Zhao, most of them were skeptical of the success of this operation. Not to mention the defeated troops led by Tian Feng, the general of the Qi State.

After being rescued by the cavalry of the Zhao State, the soldiers and horses of the Qi State under Tian Feng's command who escaped with their lives were not killed, except for the seriously injured, there were about 10,000 capable warriors gathered together. Originally, according to Chu Jiangmian's meaning, it was to let them take a good rest and watch the battle from a high place.

However, Tian Feng and his soldiers, who had already died once, fought desperately and won the opportunity to participate in this battle with the most resolute attitude. The blood of more than 20,000 comrades has let the people of Qi know what it means to be shameful and courageous. Since you are not even afraid of death, are you still afraid of going into battle with a knife? What's more, if they can't even seize this best opportunity for revenge, then each of them will lose the courage to fight forever in the future.

Chu Jiangmian finally agreed to their request to wash away their shame with his own blood. In accordance with the unified combat deployment, in this place called Logging Road, Tian Feng led 10,000 horses and was responsible for blocking the front road.

The logging road has complex terrain, and the main section is a wide valley, which is more than ten miles long. This place is an important passage of communication between the north and the south, and recently due to the war, it has been rarely traveled.

Tian Feng and his men were ambushed at the end of the valley. Not far behind them was the large camp where the armies of Qi and Zhao were stationed together. However, although there are lights all over the place now, it seems that the whole army has been camped from a distance. But in fact, there was no one inside, and everything was an illusion of arrangement.

It's been lying in ambush here for almost two hours. Many people are a little anxious. It's about to be the time to go on the shift, but there is no movement in the distance. The confidant lieutenant around him had already quietly asked the general several times, and they were very suspicious that the army was likely to wait here for the night, and the people of the Qin State would not be fooled at all.

Tian Feng's heart was more anxious than theirs. He wanted to get up several times, and went to the high place of the mountain to ask the king of Zhao again, is there any latest news from Linzi City? But he finally held back.

"Pass my orders, and before dawn, no one in the whole army should slack off, and be ready for the arrival of the enemy army at any time!"

"General...... What if the people of Qin don't come? Are we just going to wait here all night? ”

"Whether they come or not, King Zhao's orders must be strictly followed!"

Tian Feng's face was grim. He glanced again at the urgently made barbed wooden fences, tripping ropes, and the like, and there was nothing missing. And a large number of archers were always ready, and as for the traps and trenches that he personally led the men to dig, they were also guaranteed to be foolproof. Now, I just hope that the enemy will really come.
