On the day Qi Niang gave birth to her child, it coincided with Yuwen Zhan's reign as the emperor, and the year name was changed to Shengqi, and the whole country celebrated. Unexpectedly, Qi Niang gave birth to a healthy boy for Jiang Qihan, and they named him Jiang Ning, hoping that he would be happy and quiet for the rest of his life.

After Yuwen Zhan ascended the throne, he vigorously rectified the dynasty, promoted Xuanyuan Chong to protect the country, eliminated external troubles, blessed the people, and stabilized the Central Plains. The only thing that worries Qi Niang is that the battle between White Night City and Dongwu has never stopped, and Qi Niang has written more than once to persuade Wei Zi'an to let the people recuperate, but Wei Zi'an has refused for various reasons. Qi Niang didn't expect Wei Zi'an to be so obsessed with force and war, and even Princess Lan had nothing to do about it.

This is the third letter that Qi Niang has received this month, and the payment is Princess Lan, seeing the content of the letter, Qi Niang is becoming more and more worried. Wei Zi'an was reluctant to reveal too much about the battle situation in the Northern Wilderness, for fear that Qi Niang would be worried, and Qi Niang could only learn the news of White Night City through the princess. This time, Dongwu changed a general, and broke the two cities of the Northern Wilderness in a row, and the White Night City was weak and the situation was critical. Qi Niang thought twice and made the next decision.

It is very difficult to gather the old department of Qianjilou to stay in the Central Plains, most of them are scattered all over the place, and their identities and statuses are different, these killers who are unwilling to go to Dongwu with Bian Che are Qi Niang's best helpers, and many of them have obeyed her. However, the matter of looking for these people could not be noticed by Jiang Qihan, and Qi Niang could only ask Yu Feng. Qi Niang was glad that she still had such a loyal person in the Red Lotus Castle.

The matter of finding the old ministry has been implemented in less than a month, and to Qi Niang's surprise, Jiang Qihan found out what she has done in the past month.

In order not to show traces, Qi Niang deliberately met with the old department of Qianjilou in a hidden location, but was still discovered by Jiang Qihan. Jiang Qihan followed him silently, but Qi Niang didn't even notice it. When she saw Jiang Qihan appear, surprise flashed in her eyes, and her hands clenched slightly, as if she had been knocked into some secret.

Those people were unremarkable, dressed in different ways, except for the swords shining on their waists. Jiang Qihan hadn't seen those people, but he had already guessed their identities. He swept over those people one by one without any expression, and finally fixed his gaze on Qi Niang's face, there was no fluctuation in his familiar eyebrows, he looked at Qi Niang quietly, wanting to wait for her to speak.

"Qi Han, why are you ......" Qi Niang stepped forward, a little surprised, and wanted to ask him why he came here, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly lost his voice.

"What are you still looking for them for so long?" Jiang Qihan couldn't understand.

Qi Niang said to the first man: "You go first." After that, he walked quickly to Jiang Qihan and said, "Qihan, didn't Fu Xin say that you just got sick and want to rest in the pavilion?" ”

Jiang Qihan's eyes flashed with doubt and incomprehension, and his voice faded from his usual gentleness, "So what do you want to do when you see these people?" ”

Qi Niang fell silent, she couldn't lie to Jiang Qihan.

Jiang Qihan held up a letter in front of Qi Niang's eyes, with a solemn expression, "I accidentally saw the letter that Princess Lan wrote to you. Mingming, don't go to the Northern Wilderness, don't leave Hanjiang Pavilion, the battlefield is not where you should go. ”

"Qi Han, I can't promise you about this matter. Zi'an is my own brother, and I can't watch him alone. I have to go this time. Qi Niang's face was firm and could not be changed.

Jiang Qihan's face showed a look of pain, "Then what about Ning'er?" What should I do? Jiang Qihan couldn't imagine life without Qi Niang by his side, those days of being separated from her, the days of living in thoughts every day, the days of worrying about her leaving him every day, he didn't want to spend a day. He didn't know how much time he would have to be with her, and every day he worried that he would never wake up after he fell asleep.

However, Qi Niang didn't understand.

"Ning'er has Hanjiang Pavilion with your protection, but Zi'an is desperate, now is the time when he needs people the most, I have been looking for him for so long, I don't want to see him in crisis. Qi Han, wait for me for a few months, and when the war in the Northern Wilderness is over, I will come back and never be separated from you again. ”

Jiang Qihan grabbed Qi Niang's hand tightly and said sadly: "A few months...... You don't know what a few months mean to me? Since your brother is in this position, it is indispensable for the two countries to be at war, and he deserves all the consequences that may occur, and you do not need to bear this responsibility for him. ”

Jiang Qihan would never interfere with her in doing anything, but this time she insisted on not letting her leave, Qi Niang thought that he was just reluctant to go so far by himself, so he softened his voice and said, "I promise that I will come back safe and sound, and try not to worry you." ”

Who knew that Jiang Qihan suddenly shouted: "How can I not worry!" The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, Wei Zi'an, is it really more important than me and Ning'er? ”

Qi Niang looked at him in surprise, she never felt that anyone was more important than whom, her brother, her husband, her son, no matter who she couldn't give up. She didn't understand why Jiang Qihan, who had always been in touch with her heart, would say such incomprehensible words, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Zi'an set foot on this road for me, how could I leave him." ”

Jiang Qihan's face was bitter, "Meng, men are ambitious, even if it is not for you, Wei Zi'an will embark on this road." Even if you go, you won't be able to change the tide of battle! ”

Qi Niang looked directly at Jiang Qihan without a trace of wavering, "I know, but I still have to go, I can't change the situation, but I can prevent him from falling into the hands of the enemy." Qi Niang broke free of Jiang Qihan's hand, with a resolute look on her face, "Qihan, I can't listen to you this time anyway, Ning'er will ask you." After that, she didn't care about Jiang Qihan's stopping, resolutely turned over the horse and walked away.

Many years later, Qi Niang will still recall that day, if she hadn't ignored Jiang Qihan's dissuasion and insisted on going to the Northern Wilderness to help Wei Zi'an repel the soldiers of Dongwu, maybe she, Jiang Qihan and Bian Che would not have come to this day.

Qi Niang came to a town in the Northern Wilderness, raised her eyes and saw corpses all over the field, dilapidated houses, everywhere there were traces of burning and looting, some homeless people did not have time to escape, stayed in the city, some ruffians took advantage of the chaos to break into private houses, blatantly robbed property. Although Qi Niang has killed countless people in her life, she also trembled when she saw such a scene. This is war, and in order to fight for land, successive kings do not hesitate to sacrifice the peaceful life of the people. She didn't want Wei Zi'an to be such a person.

The boy's cry for help was heard in the distance, and the ghost of Qi Niang rode to the sound of the sound, and saw a soldier coming out of a dilapidated house with his pants up, and a boy of eight or nine years old immediately rushed into the house, but was picked up by the soldier and was about to stab him with a sword.

As soon as Qi Niang raised her hand, two silver needles were launched from the hidden box on her wrist, one pierced into the soldier's hand holding the boy, and the other pierced into the soldier's head, and the soldier immediately fell to the ground.

Just as he was about to leave, the boy ran over crying and grabbed Qi Niang's feet and shouted, "Sister, please save my mother!" ”

Qi Niang sat on the back of the horse and looked down at him, her eyes were cold and matchless, and said, "I am not a savior, I saved you because you are young." ”

The boy grabbed her trouser leg and didn't let go, wiping tears while saying, "Sister, my mother is pregnant, but the soldier ......"

An unknown light crossed Qi Niang's eyes, she looked at the boy, jumped off the horse, and as soon as she walked into the house, she smelled blood. She frowned and walked to the inner room, stunned by the sight before her. As soon as the boy stepped out from behind her, she immediately covered the boy's eyes.

On the bed lay a woman with a large belly in uncovered clothes, and blood was pouring from her lower body. Qi Niang threw the boy to the people who accompanied her, and went up to probe the woman's snort, and then a light of pity flowed in her eyes. Qi Niang covered the woman's body and walked out with heavy steps.

The boy wanted to rush in, but was carried back by Qi Niang, and said coldly: "Your mother is dead." ”

The boy looked at her in disbelief, then kept glaring at her legs under her hands, crying, "I don't believe it! You lied to me! I'm going to see my mother! Let me go! ”

Qi Niang looked at him compassionately, handed it over to the entourage on the side, and sighed: "Find a place to bury his mother." ”

"And what about this boy?"

Qi Niang pondered for a moment and said, "It's not safe here, so I'll take him first, and then find a place to settle down in White Night City." ”

The main road leading from the town to White Night City has been blocked, and Qi Niang and her party have no choice but to climb over a mountain along the mountain road, but they didn't expect to be ambushed even up the mountain. Dongwu seems to want to intercept all the reinforcements in White Night City this time and trap Wei Zi'an in the city.

Although there are not many people in the group led by Qi Niang, they are all elites trained by Bian Che in the past, and they are still enough to deal with these stragglers who left behind to ambush. But the enemy is on top, they are below, and soon they lost a few people, seeing that the man carrying the boy on his back was hit by an arrow, before falling into the cliff, Qi Niang hurriedly reached out and grabbed the boy, threw the boy on his back, and shouted: "Hold on to me!" As soon as the words stopped, Qi Niang grabbed the vines on the edge of the cliff, and stepped on the steep slope all the way up, at the moment of jumping to the top of the mountain, Qi Niang raised her hand and pressed the hidden box on her wrist, and the silver needle shot out, hitting the head of an archer. Then, she drew her sword and swept it through the air, and a row of people on the top of the mountain fell one after another.

She looked behind her, everyone had already reached the top of the mountain, she frowned, and said, "Go!" Be sure to arrive in White Nights tomorrow. ”

When the white moon was in the sky, a group of people shuttled through the forest, like a night walker, and there were occasional sounds of fighting, adding a touch of slaughter to the bleak forest. Except for the fact that they were at a disadvantage when they went up the mountain, they did not suffer a single casualty in the enemy. Qi Niang couldn't help but thank Bian Che for the results of his training, they used to be murderous assassins, but now they are brave and fearless warriors.

Even though it was night, the sky of White Night City was as bright as the sun with heavy snow. The mountains are snowy, and the roads are white. Birds are gone, and people are gone. They arrived before dawn in the realm of daylight, a place called daylight because there was no night all year round. This is also the place where Qi Niang and Zi'an lived. Now, it's barren and desolate.

Here, not long ago, there was a terrible battle, this is no longer a war between the two countries, this is a slaughter of the city.

Who is it that makes the Daylight Realm look like this?
