Cao Xianye stood on the city tower and looked at the snow in the distance, for some reason he always felt a little unsettled, as if a pair of invisible hands were choking his delay, but he was a little difficult to breathe.

Calculating the time, Cao Tianque and the others have been back for two days, and Lu Zhao is almost at the place where the general is, and soon all this will be over.

But the more this happened, the more intense the uneasy feeling in his heart became.

"General, what are you doing here?" Cao Tianque's voice interrupted Cao Xianye's thoughts, and he let out a slight breath and looked at the person in front of him.

As a descendant of the Cao family, Cao Tianque's growth has long surpassed that of his peers, but he always has nightmares in his heart, and Cao Tianlei's death was a lifetime of guilt for him after all.

As the descendants of the soldiers, they have to face countless lives and deaths, and their friends, comrades-in-arms, relatives and loved ones will fall in front of them.

Although Cao Tianque seems to have let go, this obsession still remains in the deepest part of his heart, and one day he will be unable to breathe.

"Tianque, how long have you been following here?"

Cao Tianque was stunned, he raised his head and didn't know why Cao Xianye would ask him such a question: "General Huiyu, it's been almost seven or eight years." ”

"Seven or eight years!" Cao Xianye sighed: "Yes, you see that my brain is confused, and I have been here for almost ten years, but what about ......?"

Cao Xianye's voice was full of helplessness and forbearance, which made Cao Tiango quite surprised, his grandfather in his impression has always been high-spirited, why is it today......

"Count the days, you have only put on this armor for seven or eight years, and it has been almost forty-seven or eight years since the old decay put on this armor, when I was young, I fought on the battlefield and took the head of the enemy's general like a bag, but now ......" Cao Xianye lowered his head helplessly, he no longer knew how to say the next words.

Since the invasion of the Huns, he has been guarding the Yumen Pass for more than ten years, and the Huns have repeatedly violated our territory for more than ten years.

And now the battle situation is even more severe, I am already at such an age, how long can I hold this pass?

At present, only Cao Tianque is the only one in the Cao family, but he has an obsession in his heart, which makes him feel at ease.

Seeing that Cao Tianque didn't answer for a long time, Cao Tianque couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart: "General, do you have anything to say to me?" ”

Cao Xianye sighed: "Forget it, it's nothing, I just feel a little tired after so many years." ”

"It is natural that the general has fought hard for many years, but we will definitely calm the foreign strife......"

"I guess I won't be able to wait for that day." Cao Xianye's hoarse voice interrupted Cao Tianque's words, the latter looked at the old man in front of him, after so many years, Cao Tianque did not notice that the omnipotent grandfather in his impression had become such an old appearance.

"General, you ......"

"Report!" Cao Tianque was about to say something but was interrupted, and he looked behind him, where a soldier was standing with his hands arched.

"Report to the general, the DPRK has sent a messenger and is waiting for the general in the camp."

Cao Xianye didn't seem too surprised, and he also understood where the source of his uneasiness came from.

"Got it, I'll go over here." Cao Xianye turned around, shook the remnant snow on his body, and looked at Cao Tianque, who was standing in place, and patted him on the shoulder.

For some reason, Cao Tianque had an unusual sense of loss, he looked at his grandfather who was walking down the steps step by step, and suddenly felt that it was not a step leading to the barracks, but a path to hell.

Lu Zhao slowly opened his eyes, the snow outside had stopped, and the wind had stagnated, he squinted his eyes and glanced at the side, Yu Zhan shrank there motionless and seemed to be still asleep.

Lu Zhao got up cautiously, rolled up the wolf skin and carried it on his shoulder, grabbed the bow and arrow, and was about to take the opportunity to leave, but Yu Zhan, who didn't want to be opposite, turned over suddenly, and stared at him with bronze bell-like eyes.

"What are you going to do?"

"I ......" For some reason, Lu Zhao's heart suddenly swelled with a trace of panic, and he stared at Yu Zhan and suddenly didn't know how to answer.

Yu Zhan raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "You want to slip away while I'm asleep, right?" ”

"I didn't mean that, I saw that the firewood was burned, and I went out to find some food by the way."

Yu Zhan's eyes were unusually cold, which made Lu Zhao feel a little chilled, and he uncovered the wolf skin on his body and rolled it up and carried it on his shoulders like Lu Zhao.

"I'll go with you!" Yu Zhan's tone was unquestionable, although Lu Zhao wanted to let him leave, but he knew Yu Zhan's temper, once he decided what he decided, he would not give up easily, and in desperation, he could only get out of the cave.

Outside the cave was already plain white, Lu Zhao looked at the map, although the heavy snow covered up a lot, but fortunately, it didn't let some iconic things lose the direction indicated, the two walked one after the other, they had also moved forward like this countless times, but now they had an indescribable strange feeling.

A feeling of being watched.

I don't know how long he walked, Lu Zhao began to feel a little tired, and his feet were already a little numb, and losing his horse was a very fatal thing for him, which meant that he needed to spend at least twice as long to reach his destination.

Just as Lu Zhao was hesitating whether to take a break, he suddenly heard a muffled sound. He hurriedly looked back vigilantly, but found that Yu Zhan didn't know when he actually fell in the snow, and his body was convulsing.

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Zhao was taken aback by such a scene, he had never seen Yu Zhan like this, could it be that something happened to him?

"Medicine, in the baggage!" Yu Zhan's lips were a little blue, and his body trembled even more.

This time, he was angry with Lu Zhao in his heart, and he forgot to count the days at all, and he didn't expect to catch up with this time. Moreover, the effect of this medicine is very violent, extremely fast, as if there are thousands of knives grinding bones and flesh on the body, which is unbearable.

Seeing him in such pain, Lu Zhao was a little messy for a while, and now that the temperature is cold, Lu Zhao's hands are slightly stiff, and he worked hard for a long time to relieve Yu Zhan of the burden.

Lu Zhao didn't know what the medicine Yu Zhan was talking about, but he still instinctively took out the bottle that looked a little different, poured out a pill from it and stuffed it into Yu Zhan's mouth.

He kept rubbing his hand behind Yu Zhan's back, the effect of this medicine came and went quickly, and it was only half a pillar of incense, Yu Zhan returned to his original appearance, but the person looked a lot haggard.

Seeing that he was no longer in trouble, Lu Zhao opened his mouth and just wanted to ask what the situation of this medicine was, but Yu Zhan quickly snatched back the medicine bottle he was holding in his hand and stuffed it into his arms like a baby.
