Early in the morning, a letter from an urgent delivery was placed on Luo Feng's desk, and Yan Beifeng was sitting in the hall looking at Luo Feng.

Well...... After a deep groan, Luo Feng walked to Beifeng with the letter and handed it to him.

"Menghu's main force arrived in Xia Cheng in a few days, and Xia Cheng's attitude was unclear, but it seemed that there was a intention to resist, and it was uncertain. Wangfu Marshal made preparations in advance to prevent accidents. "The north wind reads while watching.

"Divine Strategy...... Envoy of the North! Beifeng was also taken aback when he saw the letter signed. It turned out to be a Divine Commander of the North...... Na Luofeng also said that Xia Cheng was remote and could not find out the situation......

"What do you think? Yan Sima? Luo Feng asked.

"The subordinates thought that Chang Long should be informed." The north wind said leisurely.

"Hahaha, what you see is slightly the same, then you go and tell Master Chang and let him get ready." Luo Feng smiled, and couldn't help but feel glad that he had such a subordinate.

"Yes." Beifeng put down the secret letter in his hand and got up to take his leave.

…………

Chang Long, who was checking the military newspaper at the door of the study, saw that the north wind was coming.

"Yan Sima, this is ......" Chang Long was puzzled, why did he come over.

"Oh, I'm sorry to disturb Lord Chang, the matter is urgent, it's too late for the guards to report, don't blame me." Beifeng pretended to be anxious.

"Inside, please." Chang Long saw that there was something important, and hurriedly led the north wind into the study.

"What's so urgent?" Chang Long hurriedly asked.

"We just received news that the main force of Menghu is about to arrive in Xia City, Xia Cheng's attitude is unclear, I am afraid that he has the intention of surrendering to the enemy, and the stakes are very high. Beifeng said.

"So fast...... The old man has just received a military report, and now there are 20,000 troops mobilized from various counties, 50,000 Chang'an troops, and 20,000 Luoyang troops, a total of 90,000 troops...... If Xia Cheng defects, with Xia Cheng's current strength, I am afraid that he can mobilize at least 80,000 soldiers and horses, so that the enemy army can reach 130,000...... So Chang'an is in danger! Chang Long muttered to himself, and after some analysis, he suddenly felt exhausted and miserable. For a while, sighing again and again.

"Why is Chang like this? The first sword in the world, Chixiao in hand, when he despises the heroes, why is he so arrogant? Yan Beifeng was helpless when he saw Chang Long's reaction.

"Yan Sima, you and I are destined, look at it, when you and I first met, how was my hair, and then look at ...... now" Chang Long pulled a strand of white hair and said to Yan Beifeng.

Yan Beifeng didn't expect Chang Long to say such a thing, but it was very surprising, looking back, when he first met, he still had mottled hair, and now, it is already white, alas, the years are urging people to grow old, even if Chang Long is a hegemon, it is impossible to escape......

"Lord Chang, things are still unclear, don't worry too much, if Xia Cheng defects, my marshal will naturally be the first and will not let them go. I, Yan Beifeng, will definitely not let them go, even if it is to repay the life-saving grace of the year. Yan Beifeng said very solemnly.

Chang Long looked at Yan Beifeng seriously, paused slightly, his eyes moved, and the corners of his mouth were lightly raised.

"Thank you both." Chang Long was polite.

"Now that Master Chang is ready, I'll leave now." Yan Beifeng said goodbye and left quickly.

Looking at the departing Yanbei wind, Chang Long sighed in his heart, the rise of the younger generations is like spring after the rain, and its momentum is so fierce that he can only deeply feel that the past is gone, and he is old. Even a kid like him will make a move, and he won't let them go if he says anything about Xia Cheng's defection, I'm afraid, if he doesn't defect, he won't let them go. Defection can justifiably borrow Yingqiong and his own hand to kill them, and if he does not defect, he can use Menghu's hand to kill them...... Wonderful, what a good move!

Thinking of this, Chang Long hurriedly sat down on the chair, took the letterhead, and wrote hard.

"Come on, send this letter to Xiping as soon as possible and hand it over to Gongzi. Make no mistake! Chang Long took the letter and said to the guards at the door.

"Yes, Marshal!" The guards took the order and galloped away.

After explaining, Chang Long also set off to the military camp outside the city, ready to check the preparation of grain and grass.

"Master?!" Qinglian happened to be in the courtyard, and when she saw Chang Long coming, she called softly.

"Hey......" Chang Long smiled, nodded, and agreed.

Qinglian was stunned for a moment, and a drum beat in her heart, when did he be so gentle...... One word was spoken, but the smile, the voice......

"Master, I'll go with you......" Qinglian said slowly.

"Okay, let's go, let's go." Chang Long didn't think about it, but happily agreed.

Qinglian looked at Chang Long magically, wanting to see if this was the Chang Long he knew, and how it was like a different person.

"What? Do you want to say that you don't know the old man? Qinglian's expression naturally couldn't escape Chang Long's eyes, he smiled bitterly and asked.

"yes...... Ever since I followed the master, I have never seen the master look like this. Qinglian actually had a trace of joy in her heart, and smiled softly.

On the street of Chang'an City, Chang Long walked forward with his head held high, and his eyes that looked at everything made the people on the road give way one after another.

Qinglian walked closely beside him, and for a while, she couldn't keep up with his pace. Just about to lift his skirt and trot two steps...... Suddenly......

It's like the clouds in the sky covering the moon, just like the green on the ground reflecting red.

A big rough hand tightly wrapped the Qianqian jade hand, vigorous and powerful!

In an instant, the wind swung the lotus leaves, the smoke cage Jianghuai, Qinglian turned her head to look at Chang Long in horror, her whole body was soft, and her heart surged. In those bright eyes, his wrinkled face gradually blurred.

"After so many years, it is the first time that I have dragged you to visit the street market in Chang'an, and I think that the years are not forgiving, and now I am full of gray hair, I hope it is not too late to regret it." Chang Long's deep voice trembled Qinglian, word by word, embedded in his heart.

"yes, who knows who you're leading." Qinglian said stupidly.

Chang Long was silent for a while,

The wind on the long street blew Qinglian's long hair, one tall and one short, one old and one young, holding hands.

The gates are right in front of you.

"I ......," Chang Long finally spoke.

"Huh?" Qinglian looked at Chang Long, as if she was expecting an answer.

"Goddaughter." Chang Long looked up at the sky and said in a distraction.

Two lines of clear tears, pouring down, rolled down on the placket, like dew drops sliding on lotus leaves.

The delicate cry seemed to be a gust of cold wind, which made Chang Long can't help but tremble.

"In my life, I owe her too much, I don't want to owe anyone else, old man...... I can't afford to pay it back. I have raised you for so many years, I have always regarded you as a daughter, and I have never had any other thoughts, whether you are happy or unhappy, just look at the friendship of so many years, after I die, treat Dan'er well, like a brother, when I am clear, I can come to see me, and I will be content for the rest of my life. Chang Long whispered, let go of his hand, and walked forward.

Qinglian was like losing her soul by what she said, how could it be? How could he say such a thing?

Just as he was about to catch up, Chang Long had already walked out of the city gate.

Qinglian looked up at the West City Gate.
