Since the invasion of the Turkic Manshina tribe, Dongchuan has begun to strengthen the city's defenses and strengthen its vigilance, after all, the current situation in Dongchuan is the easiest target for them.

Gu Feng had also been tired for many days because of the matter of strengthening his defenses.

On this day, after Gu Feng entered the palace as usual to report the recent situation outside the city to the king of Dongchuan, he left and met Du Qianzhi in the palace.

"Eldest Princess."

"General Gu."

Although they grew up together since childhood, they naturally had to pay attention to the manners of the palace in front of the attendants.

"You all go down first, you don't have to accompany me." Du Qianzhi commanded the maids behind him.

"Yes, Princess."

After the maids left, Du Qianzhicai opened his mouth again, "Brother Gu Feng, I have heard that the Turkic foreign tribes have occupied many corner countries, and I am worried about Dongchuan. ”

"As you feared, Higashikawa is likely to be their next target. Today, I entered the palace to report this matter to the king. Gu Feng said with a worried face.

"And what did Father plan?" Du Qianzhi already thought of his father's hesitant appearance at the moment, Dongchuan had been sad for only a month, and he had not even adjusted his vitality, and now he might be in danger again, thinking of this, Du Qian's heart was also fluctuating.

"The king said that for the time being, do a good job of defense, don't be careless, the Dongchuan border has been protected by soldiers and horses, and the city has been continuously strengthened recently, you don't have to worry too much, as long as I am here, I won't let Dongchuan have anything to do." Gu Feng's tone was very firm.

Du Qianzhi looked at Gu Feng and nodded reassuringly, of course she believed in Gu Feng, since she was a child, Gu Feng was like her and Ruosheng's eldest brother, and she had always protected the two sisters very well, at that time Gu Feng's father was still a general who protected the country, Uncle Gu was not only a loyal soldier of his father, but also a brother and sister of his father, but in the end he died on the battlefield, Gu Feng also took over the position of general at that time, and shouldered the heavy responsibility of defending Dongchuan for Uncle Gu.

"Brother Gu Feng, there's something I forgot to give to you, this." As he spoke, Du Qianzhi took out a topaz black silk sword spike from his arms and handed it to Gu Feng.

Gu Feng took it, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, "Where did this come from?" ”

"It's Ruosheng, at that time, she and her relatives did it for you before they arrived in the Wan Dynasty, but then they left before they could hand it over to you. I went to her palace two days ago to sort it out, and I found it by accident, so I brought it to you. ”

Hearing that Ruosheng did it, Gu Feng lost his mind a little, and his hand holding the sword spike tightened.

Du Qianzhi noticed his change and said softly, "Brother Gu Feng, quickly hang it on the sword." ”

Gu Feng pulled back his thoughts, picked up the saber beside him, and hung the sword spike on the hilt.

"She put a lot of effort into doing this, after all, you know that she has never been good at manual work, and if she is still here, I don't know how much trouble she will cause you." Du Qianzhi also looked at Jian Sui and sighed.

"It's a pity that now I can't hear her voice anymore, and I can't see her smiling face anymore." Gu Feng said sadly.

"Brother Gu Feng......"

Every time she thinks of Du Ruosheng, Du Qianzhi's heart is also endlessly sad, she looks at Gu Feng's appearance, and the words she wants to say come to her mouth but swallow it back, when she was rescuing the victims, she never told anyone about Ruosheng, she didn't understand why Ruosheng returned to Dongchuan, but she didn't recognize her, didn't go back to the palace, maybe she had something to do, she could only comfort herself like this.

"Qianzhi, I still have military treatment, so I won't talk to you more, take care of yourself." Gu Feng sorted out his emotions and then said.

"Okay, so is Brother Gu Feng."

……

After Gu Feng returned to the General's Mansion, he went back to the room and never left the room.

The little maid in the house didn't dare to bother, and Gu Feng in the room kept looking at the sword spike that Du Ruosheng made for him, he thought that Du Ruosheng was just saying it casually at that time, but he didn't expect her to really do it.

A few years ago, in the palace of Dongchuan Wang.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy is admiring the garden, wielding the long sword in his hand, full of strength, skilled in swordsmanship, still young, but the spirit is high, and the spirit is high.

Not far away, a girl dressed as a princess a few years younger than him ran towards him, and when he saw her, the young man took away his sword and saluted, "Second princess." ”

"Brother Gu Feng, are you practicing swords again?" The daughter is innocent, elegant and beautiful, and her voice is smart.

"Yes, my father said that those who set up great things in ancient times not only have supernatural talents, but also have perseverance, Gu Feng did not have the former, he must do the latter." Gu Feng said solemnly.

"Brother Gu Feng has great ambitions, Uncle Gu must be relieved to know it." Although Du Ruosheng couldn't understand what Gu Feng said too much, he still praised it.

"What is the second princess looking for me?" Gu Feng smiled lightly, and then asked.

"I almost forgot, Brother Gu Feng's birthday is coming, I want to ask Brother Gu Feng what he wants when he arrives, Ruosheng is good to prepare." Du Ruosheng looked at Gu Feng with a pair of clear black eyes, with an expectant look.

"How can Gu Feng work the princess? Gu Feng didn't have anything he wanted. Gu Feng said respectfully.

"Oh, don't you have to call me the old princess, we grew up together, so use these mundane etiquette, let's say, what do you want?" Du Ruosheng approached Gu Feng again and asked, she really didn't understand why Gu Feng always paid so much attention to etiquette, obviously she didn't care.

Gu Feng stepped back, "Really not, Gu Feng won't deceive the second princess." Polite voice.

Although they grew up together, their father said that a courtier should look like a courtier, and they must not make a leap, so although Gu Feng and Ruosheng sisters have been together for a long time, they have always paid great attention to etiquette.

"Forget it, since you don't say it, then I'll make my own decisions, Uncle Gu is a general, you will definitely take Uncle Gu's position in the future, and you like to practice swords so much, why don't I make you a sword spike, so that when you see it in the future, it's like seeing me, so that I can follow Brother Gu Feng through the battlefield to kill the enemy, how about it?"

Seeing Du Ruosheng's happy appearance, Gu Feng naturally followed suit, nodded, and responded, "It's good that the princess decides." ”

Now recalling, Gu Feng still remembers Du Ruosheng's pleasant appearance at that time, but he didn't receive the sword spike on his birthday, he thought it was Ruosheng's whim, and then forgot it and put it aside, now that I think about it, I don't know how many times I did it in secret, but I didn't have the opportunity to hand it over to him personally.

"Ruosheng, let's protect Dongchuan together and protect it from suffering, okay?" Gu Feng rubbed his sword spike and whispered to himself.

The sky is getting dark, and this night in Dongchuan is destined to be unpeaceful.

In the middle of the night, there was a stir in the general's mansion.

A guard broke into Gu Feng's room and said with a panicked expression: "The general is not good, the Manshina clan has secretly attacked the Dongchuan border, and now it is coming in the direction of the city!" ”

"What, go to the city gate quickly, and let everyone prepare for defense." Gu Feng didn't expect Manshina's speed to be so fast, so he didn't have time to hesitate, and went out in the black wind.

The guards just now followed closely behind him, and the two of them left the general's mansion, got on their horses, and went straight to the city gate.

When he arrived at the city gate, Gu Feng quickly climbed the high platform of the city wall, and the general of Manshina, Lati Khan, was waiting outside the city with his soldiers and horses.

Seeing Gu Feng on the city wall, he shouted loudly: "Your border defense is too vulnerable!" Ben Khan said that he will give you a chance to think about it tonight and one night, and if you open the city gates and surrender tomorrow, the Great Khan will let you live, and if not, then the Great Khan will attack the city and enter directly. ”

Gu Feng replied coldly: "Sushman's tone is very loud, go back and tell him that it is impossible for Dongchuan to surrender without the time of the hour, if you want to enter the city, step on my corpse first!" ”

Lati Khan opened his mouth and smiled: "I see that you Dongchuan don't cry when you don't see the coffin, let's go!" ”

Then, he left with his soldiers and horses.

"General, how is this good? They got here so quickly, and we won't be able to hold out much longer with the way we are now. Gu Feng's subordinate said.

How could Gu Feng not know, now that they have broken with the Wan Dynasty, they can only fight alone, even if they hold on, he has to defend Dongchuan.

"Prepare for defense, prepare for battle." Gu Feng's voice was resolute and irresistible.

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

The guards who followed Gu Feng all knew that their general was a loyal general, and he was also a brave and resolute general, since the general said war, then they would also fight side by side with the general without hesitation.

Gu Feng got off the city wall, got on his horse and rushed to the palace.

"Hurry up and report to the king, the Turkic Manshina tribe has invaded the territory of Dongchuan." When Gu Feng entered the palace, he asked the attendant to go and report it.

Soon, King Dongchuan came to Qinzheng Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Manshina tribe has invaded the territory of Dongchuan, and their soldiers and horses are already outside the city gate."

"They've already stormed the gates!?" King Dongchuan obviously didn't expect their speed to be so fast.

"Yes, their Great Khan sent a general to shout, saying that if we do not open the gates and surrender at the hour of the day, we will attack the city directly."

King Dongchuan frowned, his face was solemn, and he said sharply: "The inferior horseman, his tone is very arrogant, what am I Dongchuan!" ”

"Your Majesty, the situation is sudden, and the minister suggests that the people in the city be evacuated as soon as possible, and the king and queen should evacuate to a safe place with the princess."

"As the king of Dongchuan, how can I abandon Dongchuan, how can I let you defend it alone!?" Hearing Gu Feng's words, King Dongchuan naturally wouldn't agree.

"This king will fight with you together, you quickly take the princess and queen out of the palace through the secret passage, and let a team of soldiers and the people of the city withdraw from the secret passage."

"Your Majesty! The ministers will defend Dongchuan, but Dongchuan cannot be without a king! ”

"If Dongchuan doesn't have it, what's the use of wanting the king, don't say it again, this king has decided, go quickly!" After that, the king of Dongchuan left the Qinzheng Palace.

Gu Feng knew that King Dongchuan had made up his mind, so he didn't continue to persuade him, and King Dongchuan went to find Du Qianzhi and the queen.

When they met Du Qianzhi and the queen, the two of them already knew.

"Princess, queen, the king said to let the ministers escort you out of the city."

"What about my father, does my father want to stay?" Du Qian's heart asked anxiously.

"The minister and the king will stay to defend the city, so the two of you can't hesitate any longer, and you have to leave as soon as possible with the minister."

"If my father doesn't leave, my mother and I won't leave, Dongchuan is here, we are here, Dongchuan is dead, we are dead." Du Qianzhi made a decisive decision.

"Eldest princess, now is not the time to be willful!" Gu Feng's tone was full of anxiety.

"Gu Feng, what Qianzhi said is right, since the king doesn't leave, we won't leave either, we will stay in the palace, wait for you, wait for you to repel the Turks." Gu Feng looked at the queen, and the queen was the same, with the same resolute eyes in her eyes.

Gu Feng knew that no matter what he said, they would not leave with him.

"Okay, then our family will be together, guarding Dongchuan, and living and dying with Dongchuan." Before Gu Feng could speak again, the voice of King Dongchuan sounded from behind him, at this time he had already put on his battle armor, although it was nearly half a hundred years old, he was still heroic.

After the queen and Du Qianzhi were safe, the two went out of the palace together and went to the city with soldiers and horses.

Along the way, the people in the city have been almost evacuated, and some young and strong men have volunteered to stay behind to guard Dongchuan with them.

"Well, as the son of Dongchuan, I am very pleased to have such a grand ambition! Then we will defend Dongchuan and our families together! ”

"Guard Dongchuan with the king, guard the Dongchuan with the king!" The crowd shouted in unison.

This night, long and difficult, Gu Feng secretly swore in his heart, "Defend Dongchuan to the death, never leave", he picked up the sword again and saw the sword spike made for him by Ruosheng, and his heart was suddenly calm, Ruosheng, let's guard Dongchuan together.
