Chapter 2: The Scarlet Clothes and Drums, the General's Northern Expedition (2)

The white robe and silver armor are the familiar figure. She exhaled heavily, suddenly becoming more relaxed. scolded in my heart, this guy always has to wait until the last moment to show up.

Hold your horse and wait quietly for him to come. The eyes of the four gradually changed from ecstasy to consternation, concern and worry.

How could he have gray hair, lose all his martial arts, and become so weak that he even had to help the woman behind him hold the spear wrapped in strips of cloth?

She was about to speak, but when she saw him raise her hand, she stopped asking. Under the banner of Jingzi, the order is forbidden, regardless of the reason, this is military discipline.

The other two were also silent, and without saying a word, they stepped forward to guard him in the center.

The North City Tower at the end of the long street is faintly visible, and the wind is blowing. The battle flag was hunting in the wind, and it finally attracted the attention of many people.

"It's the Great General." The people followed them.

The morning fog has not yet dissipated, and Yue Feng, the general in charge of defense on the upper floor of Beicheng, is already on patrol. He stared at the blackened crowd outside the city gates from the tower. There was chaos and no order below, and there was a scene of mourning, a scene of the coming end of the world, and they were poor people who had been expelled from the city, and they had nowhere to go but to gather outside the city gates, pleading and praying.

The hidden dark side of humanity is revealed in desperation, and once the abandoned crowds, burning, looting begins, it spreads wildly, and the riots cannot be stopped. Yue Feng turned around and couldn't bear to look at the absurd and bloody scenes under the city.

At this time, a black embroidered gold flag slowly broke through the morning fog and appeared downstairs in Beicheng.

"Who's coming?" He asked from the tower, and he recognized who was below the first sight of the flag.

"General Jiang Wushuang, on the order of the general, will go to the north to recover my rivers and mountains!" The red-armored ghost-faced warrior replied loudly.

As soon as the words fell, the people behind him suddenly boiled and cheered excitedly.

"The general is going north."

"Great!"

"The Great General will definitely destroy the Demon Clan."

......

Yue Feng's right arm was raised, and the soldiers on the battlements drew their arrows and opened their bows, aiming at the people below. He looked coldly at the few people below and the people, and said in an emotionless voice: "Your Majesty has ordered the city to be closed, and no one is allowed to open the city without a holy decree." And you are no longer a general, just a civilian, quickly retreat, or don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Seeing that the archers were aimed at them, the men drew their weapons, and held the thin white figure in the middle tighter, glaring at Yue Feng angrily.

Song Yun also raised his hand and pressed the piano box behind his back, this is a piano and a sword, the Phoenix Guqin Sword.

The surrounding people were in an uproar, and someone scolded loudly, "Yue Feng, you are really not a thing, you want to attack the general." ”

"You are cowering in this city, and you will not let the general march north."

......

After someone spoke, the swearing became more and more intense. Many people were familiar with him and watched him grow up, until he was later favored by the big men and became a respected general in the imperial court.

Yue Feng looked at the surging people below from the city tower, his eyes still firm. The demon clan invaded the south, he was in the middle of his blood, how could he not want to go north to fight, but he couldn't, let alone disobey the king's order to let them out of the city without permission, once the city gate was opened, these people would go out, and the poor people who were expelled would also pour in desperately.

The white-robed and silver-armored figure stared calmly ahead, not knowing what he was thinking. Yue Feng looked at the man's eyes, and his heart fluctuated inexplicably.

"If you don't retreat, I'll give the order to release the arrows." Yue Feng forcibly expelled the thoughts in his heart and announced again.

The figure was unmoved.

"Shoot the arrows." He gritted his teeth and ordered.

"You dare?" The crowd parted, and a gray-haired old woman in her seventies trembled and shouted with a cane.

"Stop, stop." Yue Feng's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly stopped his subordinates and ran down the city tower like a fly.

"Mother, why are you here?" He hurried to the old woman and helped her.

"How dare you?" When the old woman saw him come down, she threw away her crutches, slapped him with all her might, and scolded angrily: "Rebel, kneel down for me." ”

This is the first time she has beaten her son, and in the past, no matter how naughty he was or what kind of trouble he caused, she was reluctant to scold him.

Yue Feng was angry when he saw his mother for the first time, and he didn't dare to hesitate even in front of so many subordinates, and immediately fell to his knees on the ground. "Mother, don't be angry, hurt your body." He couldn't understand why his mother was angry, and he was very worried about her body.

He lost his father when he was a child, and it was his mother who pulled him up by digging and picking wild vegetables in exchange for a meager income, so that he could study and practice martial arts, and he didn't know how much he suffered. I have never enjoyed happiness in my life, because I went to the suburbs to dig up the root of the disease that fell from wild vegetables in the cold winter in the past, and now I am sick all the year round, bedridden, and I don't know where I got the strength to run here with a cane today.

Now, he has finally come out and can support his mother, he does not dare to leave Luoyang, he only hopes to serve her well in his mother's lifetime.

"I've worked hard for most of my life to raise such an unfaithful and unfilial son as you?" The old woman said sharply, and before she finished her sentence, she burst into tears, trembling violently and wiping away her tears.

Yue Feng saw his mother crying, and his heart was even more panicked, and he fell to the ground and didn't dare to raise his head, "The child has lost his loyalty and filial piety somewhere, and he asked his mother to make it clear." ”

"As a general of Great Qin, why don't you lead the army to defend your home and the country and recover the rivers and mountains? Greedy for life and afraid of death, he only knows how to shrink in this Luoyang City, where can he be considered loyal. I also dare to obstruct the general's northern expedition and bring shame to my family, where is filial piety? The old woman asked with red eyes.

"Mother, child, I am not greedy for life and afraid of death. But when I'm gone, who will provide for and serve my mother? Blocking the general is because of His Majesty's will, if he disobeys, he will be connected to the nine clans, wouldn't it hurt his mother? Yue Feng lay on the ground and cried bitterly and explained.

"How can you, child, be so ignorant of righteousness, have no country, where is your home? In the past, the First Emperor led countless heroes of the human race to fight to the death to have the Great Qin State, and you have the opportunity to live until now, and there are no eggs under the nest? I'm just a dying old woman, so why worry so much about me. The old woman said.

"But, mother, you've worked hard for most of your life, and I haven't had time to be filial to you..."Yue Feng choked up, not knowing how to continue.

"Feng'er, listen, born in this troubled world, if you really want to die, I only hope that you can die on the battlefield and die under this banner." With tears in her eyes, the old woman stroked every inch of Yue Feng's face with her rough palm, pointed to the black embroidered gold flag and said.

Then, out of nowhere, she suddenly pulled out Yue Feng's saber and put it on her neck. "Good boy, go with confidence."

When Yue Feng saw his mother's move, his eyes were split, and he yelled, "No..."

"Yun'er." The white-robed man was moved and called softly.

There was no need for him to remind him, Song Yun had already made a move, and the saber was close to the old woman's neck, and she couldn't move the slightest. She flashed and appeared beside the old woman, took her sword, and supported her.

Yue Feng saw that his mother was about to kill herself in front of him, but he was powerless to stop it, and his heart was like a knife. At this moment, seeing that his mother was safe, he hurriedly went up to hug his mother, and cried in a panic, "The child will open the city gate and follow the general to the north, just ask the mother to take good care of herself, don't have the idea of suicide again, the child knows that it is wrong." ”

"I'll take care of my aunt." Song Yun said.

"Open the gates." Yue Feng ordered, he didn't dare to delay at all, for fear that his mother would have the idea of desperation again.

"Please forgive the general, and General Xu will follow him." Yue Feng knelt on one knee and saluted.

Some of the defenders of the city also bowed to the ground, but there were only a thousand of them, and they petitioned to follow.

After Jiang Wushuang saw the white-robed figure and nodded, Le immediately stepped forward and said, "Line up, order troops." The skillful commander rearranged the array, and quickly recounted the military discipline.

"Auntie, you stand firm, I'll beat the drum for them to see them off." Song Yun let go of the old woman. Walk up to the white-robed man and hand him the spear.

Song Yun glanced at the spear wrapped in strips of cloth in her hand, with a silk thread wrapped around it and tied with a delicate bow. At first glance, you can tell that it is from the woman's hand, but this bow is not tied by her.

He took it, pulled the bow open, and the strips of cloth fell in the wind. Revealing the spear that flowed with pale yellow stars and lingered like a firefly, he held it in his hand, and looked at Song Yun in crimson clothes in front of him dotingly, with a gentle smile on his face.

Song Yun had a thousand words in her heart, but she couldn't say them.

"You owe so much love and you haven't paid it, but you must come back." In the end, she only said this sentence with red eyes, not daring to blink, for fear that tears would overflow in her eyes for him to see.

"Got it, I'll be back." The gates opened, and he replied with a smile. Riding horses and spears, stepping on the snow.

Song Yun climbed the city tower, picked up the drumstick, and beat the cowhide war drum. The white horse marched out of the city to the rhythm of the drums. The poor people outside the city gate surged into the city gate like a huge wave, and saw the oncoming white-robed figure. In vain it fell silent.

Quietly, they retreated like a tide, making way for an army of less than a thousand men.

The snow stopped and the sun rose. His robes fluttered in the breeze.

Song Yun stood on the city tower, looking at the figure that was fading away under the first rays of dawn, and tears fell silently.

Did you see the ending where I wrote "Luo Shui Fu"?

The white-robed and silver-armored general in the book.

Before he left, he said goodbye to me,

I put on his armor,

Wipe the tassel gun for him.

A jar of toast was buried.

He took up his spear and jumped on the glacier,

Raise your hand to destroy a million enemies.

When he returned, his eyebrows were still the same,

Listen to me play the harp,

Drink a jar of laughter and talk about the wartime situation.

......

In the winter of the second year of the late Qin emperor, there were women in scarlet clothes dancing drums, and the general marched north, and the first battle dawned.
