Chapter 4 The Bitterness of Hatred and the Beginning of the Great War
Sixteen years of Deqing
Three years have passed, and in the past three years, as long as Mu Zijin has a little time, he will go out to find Xia Qingchen, and the two of them practice martial arts and cultivation together, and the tacit understanding has long been different. Although Mu Changchuan was afraid that Mu Zijin would go out to mess around, but seeing that there was no bad situation several times, he simply didn't care about her, and only asked her to let her have time to accompany the Liu family and her little daughter, so he was busy running at both ends of the military camp and the border pass.
In the past three years, Beiwu has made small moves constantly, and after Xiaolin Army accepted the will, the two sides have been frequently engaged in small frictions at the border gates, but no one has been killed, and the war between the two sides has not yet started, but the situation on both sides is becoming more and more tense, and it is only a matter of time before the war breaks out.
Mu Xuyun inspected at the border pass, a total of five shifts of patrol Bai, he was in charge of two or three shifts, and he never had a rest, both father and son were busy in the camp, and they had not returned home for more than half a year. On this day, Mu Changchuan decided to go home for a day and return to the camp on the second day.
The two did not return for several months, and finally came back, and the family was very happy.
The Liu family was busy in the kitchen, and Mu Hanan pestered his eldest brother Mu Xuyun, who had not seen him for several months, and Mu Zijin took this opportunity to run to find Mu Changchuan, who was looking at the military book in the study.
Mu Zijin knocked on the door and entered the room, but saw that Mu Changchuan was still looking down at the book and ignored her at all, tiptoed behind his father, and began to help his father press the mo.
Mu Changchuan put down the scroll in his hand, "Why are you so well-behaved today?" Are you kid causing trouble again? ”
"Hey, hey." Mu Zijin laughed dryly, "Where can I be, I haven't done anything bad in the past few days." ”
"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief." Mu Changchuan turned his head to the side and looked at his daughter standing behind him, "Say, what do you kid want to do?" ”
Mu Zijin immediately approached, with a flattering face, "Dad, my brother entered the camp at the age of thirteen, you see that I am also thirteen now, and I will not lose my brother and you in kung fu, or..."
Mu Changchuan raised his eyebrows, "No!" This matter, no need to talk about it. ”
"Daddy... You're just going to let me go..."
"No way!" Mu Changchuan glared at her, "Everything else is up to you, this matter can't work!" ”
Mu Zijin went around the chair and squatted down, pouting, "Dad, you just agree." If I can't join the army, what's the use of me practicing this martial arts. ”
Mu Changchuan frowned, "No! Don't even think about it! Don't forget your real gender by wearing men's clothes every day, what is a daughter doing in a barracks full of big men! This matter is not to be discussed, and it will not be mentioned in the future! ”
"Dad..."Mu Zijin continued to pester her father.
As a result, Mu Changchuan knew his daughter's temperament, and after finishing speaking, he simply ignored her and continued to read the book. Mu Zijin didn't give up, and continued to help her father pound here and there, revealing a meaning of "if you don't agree, I'll be here for you".
So, when the voice of "Daddy, it's time to eat" sounded from the room, the two of them didn't notice it at all. When Mu Hanan ran into the study, he saw this scene, his eyes widened, and his face was incredible, "Two... Brother? ”
Mu Zijin stood up suddenly, and held his forehead with his hand: It's over, why did you run in at this time, and your face is gone...
Her father was very calm, glanced at her, and said lightly, "Let's go, don't let your mother wait for a long time." ”
Hearing this, Mu Zijin ran out like a gust of wind as if he had received amnesty. Mu Hanan looked puzzled, looked back at the back of the second brother, turned his head to look at the father who stood up, and finally decided to ignore his second brother first, and suddenly threw himself into her father's arms. Mu Changchuan picked up his little daughter and walked to the side hall with her talking and laughing.
There were two brothers, Mu Xuyun and Mu Zijin, standing in the side hall, and the two were chatting about the front-line battle report, when they saw Mu Changchuan coming in, they bowed together. Several people sat down in their seats, and Liu brought the last dish and sat down. The family hasn't gotten together for a good meal for a long time, but now it's finally reunited, and the family is happy.
"Report!" A sudden sound of retribution broke the laughter of the family.
"Boss, Beiwu launched a surprise attack, the Tianju Pass guards Captain Lin Ru and Xia Ze's whole family died on the battlefield, and the seven thousand soldiers defending the city spilled blood on the border pass, only the messenger Wu Wu Chang desperately escaped to deliver the message, and Tianju Pass fell!"
Mu Zijin's pupils shrank sharply: Xia Ze, die in battle!
There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the chopsticks in Mu Changchuan's hand were broken by force. Mu Xuyun stood up suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief, "What's the matter!" ”
The soldier who reported the news knelt on one knee on the ground and spoke rapidly, "Young Marshal, it was said that Beiwu killed a caravan and diverted it from elsewhere, because the customs clearance documents are true, and the soldiers defending the city can't distinguish the true from the fake, so Beiwu will open the gate from the inside." ”
Mu Changchuan's face was gloomy, his eyes were full of anger, and the murderous aura he had experienced on the battlefield overflowed, and the temperature in the entire room seemed to have dropped by a few degrees, "Go back to the camp!" Assemble the troops! Against! The six words seemed to come out between the teeth.
Before the heat of the table of dishes dissipated, Mu Changchuan, Mu Xuyun, father and son walked out of the house quickly and drove their horses to the camp.
Mu Zijin put down the chopsticks, and after calming his sister, he turned around and left the house, his eyes full of worry. In order to be in a hurry, Mu Zijin even performed light skills in the city, and arrived at Xia Qingchen's mansion in a short time.
Xia Qingchen was eating in the courtyard, and he didn't know anything about the front line, when he saw Mu Zijin rushing over the wall, he quipped, "Didn't Dashuai come back today?" Isn't it Ah Jin, you have committed something again, and you want to avoid your father? ”
Mu Zijin didn't answer, and walked straight to the table, with a serious face, "Qingchen, I have something to tell you, don't eat it first." ”
Xia Qingchen raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, and he was surprised to find that there was a trace of struggle in Mu Zijin's eyes today... And grief?
"What's wrong today? What's crazy, don't eat at noon, run to me here? ”
Mu Zijin took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "Just now, the front-line battle report is from Tianju Pass." ”
Xia Qingchen stood up, "Beiwu attacked Tianju Pass?" ”
Mu Zijin nodded, shook his head again, closed his eyes, and his gaze was gloomy, "It's not to attack Tianju Pass, but... Conquered the Heavenly Residence Pass... Captain Lin and your father, as well as their relatives, 7,000 soldiers, all..."
Needless to say, Xia Qingchen already understood everything, he stood there in a daze, so Mu Ran thought he was stupid. Until, she saw drops of tears slipping from the corners of Xia Qingchen's eyes, and drops of blood dripping from his palms.
Mu Zijin called in a low voice: "Light dust..."
Hearing these two words, Xia Qingchen raised his eyes, and suddenly rushed out like a demon, Mu Zijin quickly stopped him, "Qingchen, where are you going?" ”
Xia Qingchen struggled like crazy, but Mu Zijin hugged him and didn't let him go, "You let go of me!" Mu Zijin, let go of me! I'm going back to Tianju Pass and kill those bastards! ”
Mu Zijin didn't let go, pulled him and threw him back, "What's wrong with you?" You're alone? Will you take revenge or send you to death? Are you missing your brains? What's crazy? ”
Xia Qingchen got up and was about to rush again, but Mu Zijin unceremoniously went up and kicked him to the ground again. Xia Qingchen had red eyes and glared at the young man who was still dressed in red, "Mu Zijin, of course you can say this if your father is not dead!" ”
When Mu Zijin heard this, his eyes changed slightly, but after all, he sighed, and his tone was cold, "Xia Qingchen, I know your thoughts, but you can't go like this!" If you want revenge, you must listen to me, I can take you revenge, but you alone, impossible! ”
Xia Qingchen's eyes were bleak, and his face was extremely decadent, "You help me?" How can you help me? You're not from Xiaolin Army, how can you help me?! In the last sentence, Xia Qingchen almost roared.
"Huh." Mu Zijin chuckled, "I said I could help you, Qingchen, have I ever lied to you in the past three years?" ”
Xia Qingchen collapsed on the ground and raised his face to look at Mu Zijin, he saw the sadness, anger, and fierceness in Mu Zijin's eyes. He finally calmed down, and fell to the ground and stopped talking.
"Qingchen, we have been preparing for three years, and I have been waiting for this day, waiting for this day when I can embark on my career... But I never thought that this day would be like this... I took you on the road of revenge, calmed the resentment in your heart, and brought you the dream in your heart. I promised you that I would always take you with me, and I will take everything about you to heart. ”
Xia Qingchen raised his eyes and met Mu Zijin's glass-colored eyes, looking at those eyes, he saw Mu Zijin's firmness, and finally nodded, looked up at the sky, and closed his eyes.
Mu Zijin stretched out his hand to pull Xia Qingchen up, and pulled him back into the chair and sat down.
"I asked the messenger, and I probably found out something. The commander of Beiwu is their second highness, the king, and this time he devised a plan, and broke the gate of Tianju Pass. There were more than 7,000 soldiers stationed at Tianju Pass, and there was no advantage in numbers, which led to the slaughter of Tianju Pass. The old and young women and children, as well as the 7,000 soldiers in the pass, were all slaughtered after the pass was broken. And the first person to set foot on the gate of Tianju Pass was Yihe, the pioneer of Beiwu, and it was also he who cut down... The heads of Captain Lin and Deputy Lieutenant Xia hung above the city gate. ”
Speaking of this, Mu Zijin found that the hand held in the palm of his hand was clenched a little tighter. Xia Qingchen clenched his hands into a fist and slammed the table top, the table top made of marble was torn apart in an instant, and all the food on it was knocked to the ground, Mu Zijin frowned, and moved his body slightly to avoid the splashing soup.
"If you want to take revenge, first of all, you have to kill Yihe. But Yihe, as a pioneer, has 20,000 pioneers under him, and if he rashly seeks revenge, he will only put yourself in it. ”
Xia Qingchen shook off her hand violently, "So you still persuade me not to take revenge?" ”
Mu Zijin helped his forehead, "It doesn't work to seek revenge rashly, but it is not necessarily impossible to use tactics." ”
Xia Qingchen stared at the person in front of him with red eyes, "Do you have a way?" ”
"I have a preliminary idea, but I don't know if it will work." Mu Zijin clasped his hands, "Moreover, it may not be as I expected." ”
Xia Qingchen clenched his teeth, "It's all now, but whenever there is a little possibility, I have to fight." Let's go! ”
"Out of your size, you haven't eaten yet, what enemies will you kill if you don't eat enough? Let's go, go out to eat with me, and after eating, I'll go somewhere to get something and we'll set off again. After speaking, Mu Zijin clapped his hands, and Shi Shiran walked outside the house.
"Eh, no, slow down, didn't you say..."Xia Qingchen chased after him.
"Then you have to eat first, hurry up, if you don't keep up, I won't take you, you can send yourself to death." Mu Zijin ignored Xia Qingchen's refusal, and dragged Xia Qingchen's wrist out of the house.
Xia Qingchen pulled a stumbling one, and then dragged it to others, and dragged it away, "Hey, Mu Zijin, you let go, you..."
