The girl who danced by the campfire smiled at the crowd and withdrew to a burst of applause, and the Midsummer Night Party began, and the young men who had been preparing for it for a long time mustered up the courage to go to the campfire and sing and dance, and laughter was everywhere.

Looking at the young smiles, Li Ang also laughed, Xun Rizhao, who had been paying attention to him, was stunned, he didn't expect this young man who was so calm and a little vicissitudes of life to laugh so brightly, and then looked at Feng Siniang, who was always leaning on him beside him, with a happy face, Xun Rizhao's heart seemed to sink into the depths of the ancient pool, and it was cold.

Looking at the girl who came to invite him to dance, Murong Ke blushed, a real child of a big family like him, who has been extremely strict since he was a child, and the girls he comes into contact with are also from the same family, dignified and generous, how could he be so active, and he looked at Li Ang in hesitation.

"It's rare, let's go!" Li Ang nodded at Murong Ke, stood up and pressed the light he wanted to stop, and said in a deep voice, "Let him go, it's okay!" ”

Beside the bonfire, Murong Ke danced with the girl, and at first he was a little rusty, but soon he became familiar with the dance steps, and the more he danced, the better he did, which surprised the girl who danced with him.

"Aren't you going to dance, you've always danced beautifully?" Li Ang sat down and looked at Feng Siniang beside him, and asked with a smile.

"Well, I'd love to dance to a song. But there is no good music, and there is no interest. Feng Siniang looked at Li Ang and said, "But if you come to play a song, it will be different." ”

"That's good." Li Ang got up and walked to a few young people holding musical instruments in the distance, asked for one, tried a few notes, smiled at Feng Siniang, held it in his arms and plucked the strings.

Feng Siniang pulled up Lin Fengshuang. Floated like a cloud to the campfire and danced. Next to the bonfire that soared to the sky, Feng Siniang, who was dressed in red, smiled skillfully and gracefully, and Lin Fengshuang, who was dressed in white and plain clothes, had bright eyes and bright teeth, looking forward to shining.

Just when everyone was intoxicated with the dance posture of Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang, which can be called peerless. Leon's plucked the strings quickly, and a song suddenly began to sing from his mouth.

Passing by a desert wind and sand, the ancient road is thin and the horse is thin, and the sun is going westward. … Who's looking, that far away, is home! … I've put on my armor: Lookout. Howl the other side! … You pick up the lamp. On the bun, a few stacks of frost. Vast snow! … In the crowd: |

Even if you die, you want to be with us! Li Ang's singing voice was not beautiful, but Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang heard the feelings he wanted to express, looking at each other's expressions, the two laughed, this is the man they like, although they always can't speak like that, but they like him!

Xun Rizhao listened to the lyrics. I thought of the last few sentences: Turning the soul into a wolf and looking at my hometown. Howl the other side! … Li Ang, who sang low in the crowd, knew that he couldn't hate this person anymore, and there was the soul of a soldier in that song.

After Li Ang finished singing, he returned the pipa to the young man beside him, walked back, looked at Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang holding hands, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have sung like that, it's too bad." ”

"I love this song." Lin Fengshuang said suddenly, she stared at Li Ang's eyes, and said quietly, "But I don't want that person to die, I hope he will survive in the end and return to the person he loves." As she spoke, she looked at Feng Siniang beside her.

"Brother Li, your song is so good, just like the songs that those soldiers who are fighting in a distant country, knowing that they will face a mortal battle, and miss their hometown and lover." Murong Ke walked to the side of the three of them at some point, and his eyebrows were full of heroism, "Can you teach me how to sing this song?" ”

"Okay, I'll teach you." Looking at the same look in Lin Fengshuang's eyes as Feng Siniang, Li Ang suddenly felt a little flustered in his heart, he didn't know why, he always felt a feeling of being overwhelmed when facing Lin Fengshuang.

Looking at pulling Murong Ke into the distance, Lin Fengshuang's face darkened, she didn't know why Li Ang always avoided her a little, "It doesn't matter, you are so good-looking, he will like you sooner or later!" Feng Siniang suddenly whispered in Lin Fengshuang's ear.

Xun Rizhao walked in front of Feng Siniang, he thought about it a lot, and finally he decided to tell his heart to this woman he liked, "I don't know what to say, but I know that Brother Li is the big hero you said, I know that in your heart I can't compare to him, but I won't give up, before you and Brother Li get married, I will never give up liking you." ”

Looking at Xun Rizhao with a calm face, Feng Siniang smiled, lowered her head and said quietly, "You look like a man, but I already have a man I like, and I like him in this life, so..."

"I know." Xun Rizhao interrupted Feng Siniang, he looked at Feng Siniang who bowed his head and said, "But I won't give up, I will always like you until you change your mind or you marry Brother Li, only then will I die." ”

After Xun Rizhao finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the distance, he needed to be quiet now. The two people in Tsing Yi behind him looked at their young master and suddenly boldly expressed his heart, they were both surprised and delighted, their young master has always been resourceful and calm, but when facing the woman he likes, he is helpless, spitting, dodging and dodging, and there is no usual demeanor, which is like this time, straight into the knife and confessing his heart. There is a bit of the old lady's strong beam demeanor.

"This fool is serious, but it's actually not bad." Looking at Xun Rizhao's figure, Feng Siniang smiled and sighed.

"If Sister Feng had met him earlier, would she have liked him?"

"The descendants of the Eight Pillars Kingdom, although it is quite good, but..."Looking at the forest wind and frost beside him, Feng Siniang shook her head and said with a smile, "I just don't like men who are crepe, and I get tired when I look at it." ”

The night gradually deepened, and the boys and girls who had been making trouble all night began to disperse, and then there were fireworks in the sky again, Li Ang looked at the bright fireworks that were fleeting in the air, and walked to Lin Fengshuang, who was sitting alone and watching the fireworks, he wanted to understand what he felt about her.

In the sky, after the fireworks, there is a faint aftertaste. Fireworks bloom, brilliant and lonely. People always see the brilliant fireworks in the night sky, but they can't see the loneliness after the fireworks bloom.

Laughing at the red dust, wind and moon, it is as empty and lonely as fireworks. Leon thought of this sentence that he didn't know where he had seen it before, he

Xiang Lin Fengshuang beside him, only to feel that her eyes flashed the same as him when she watched the fireworks bloom.

"People in the world often say that the past is like smoke, and there is no trace of smoke, but after the smoke is gone, there is no trace, but it leaves a faint aftertaste, which contains the bits and pieces of a person's life, and how can it really be traceless." Lin Fengshuang looked at Li Ang beside him, thinking of the time he had been with him when he was the King of Qiling before, and suddenly said quietly.

"Fireworks are beautiful because they meet flowers, but after they bloom. What is left is endless loneliness. ”

Li Ang was stunned when he heard this, bowed his head and said: "Loneliness is just a person's sadness that has too much sorrow, and it will only arise." Smoke and flowers are two beautiful things in the world, how can one person have both? Therefore, when 'smoke' meets 'flower', it will appear truly bright. ”

"You have a point." Lin Fengshuang looked at Li Ang who bowed his head beside her, her eyes were full of pain and loneliness when she saw each other, she didn't know when her past 'smoke' would meet the 'flower' of the sun and bloom with the brilliance she wanted.

"It's late at night, go to bed early!" Li Ang stood up suddenly, looking at Lin Fengshuang Dao, he felt a throbbing in his heart, as if he had known the woman beside him for a long time.

Lin Fengshuang stood up and followed behind Li Ang, watching him beckon Feng Siniang and the others back to the inn together, the corners of her mouth smiled slightly, she believed that one day her fireworks would bloom.

Under the same night sky, Ashina Yunlie looked at the dark Jade Dragon Fort in the distance. The face is expressionless. He did not expect that on the night of the inn, the Uighur khan and the princess of Tiele would die, leaving the Turks in a dilemma of fighting on two fronts.

On the western front, the 100,000 allied forces of the Uighurs and Tiele had begun to advance slowly, but he was not worried, what he was really worried about was the 50,000 Great Qin Iron Cavalry in the Jade Dragon Fort not far in front of him, thirty years ago. Just 70,000 Great Qin Iron Cavalry swept and slaughtered the Rouran Khanate, Ashina Yunlie trembled in his heart, and he seemed to recall the roaring black cavalry and the mountain of human heads in that bloody winter.

"Am I wrong?" Ashina Yunlie muttered to himself, the expression on his face changed back and forth, and finally fell silent. The voice was as cold as ice, "I'm not wrong, thirty years ago, the prairie was hit by a snow disaster, so it would be defeated like that, Great Qin is not martial, but now it is different, I don't need to be afraid of them, they are only 50,000 people." ”

Footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance behind him, and Ashina Yunlie stopped talking to himself. Quietly, "Is it riding you?" ”

"Your Excellency. The nobles of the royal court have become increasingly dissatisfied with the Khan's support for you, and they say that we should surrender to Great Qin. Hand you over in exchange for Great Qin's forgiveness. Yu Shot Shi Tu rode up behind Ashina Yunlie and said quietly.

"Those idiots who don't know anything, don't pay attention to them, by the way, how is the preparation of Zhishi Sili?" Ashina Yunlie thought of those nobles who were angry because their wealth was confiscated by Great Qin, and said with disdain.

"It's ready, as long as you give the order. You can kill all those who are noisy at any time. Yu Shot Shi Tuqi thought of the secret letter sent by Shi Sili and replied.

"Good. Prepare to retreat, and we will return to the royal court. Ashina Yunlie frowned and said.

"My lord, just like this, with you, we may not lose." Yu Shotshi looked at Ashina Yunlie in confusion.

"It's not time to fight hard, the prairie is so big, I don't believe that the logistics suddenly mobilized by Daqin Cang can last, and their logistics line is elongated, so we have a chance, and if there is no city, they can't hold it if they come in." Ashina Yunlie's eyes flashed with confidence.

"Yes!" After listening to his words, Yu Shot Shi Tuqi turned around and walked towards the camp behind him, he had always known the identity of Ashina Yunlie, and he had never seen him miscalculate, so he had always believed him.

Ashina Yunlie chuckled lowly, although the Uighur and Tiele armies were unexpected, but he still thought that everything was still under his control, and he did not know that in the battle documents that Li Ang submitted to the military hall, he had no intention of fighting a tough battle with him and the Turks.

A few days later, in the Jade Dragon Castle, Murong Longcheng listened to the scout's return, and the Turkic camp hundreds of miles away had become an empty camp, he laughed, "Sure enough, he is a self-righteous fool, if he stays to fight, maybe there is still a chance." In his own voice, he looked at the adjutant beside him, "The whole army is out of camp." ”

The army under the command of Murong Longcheng is claimed to be 50,000, but in fact, only 15,000 tiger and leopard cavalry and 10,000 border troops are the real troops, and the remaining 25,000 people are all craftsmen and men in charge of logistics and baggage summoned by the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate.

The army and baggage of Murong Longcheng slowly advanced on the territory of the Turkic land, and only the light cavalry of the hundred-man team rushed straight forward, announcing the edict of Great Qin to those small tribes who had not had time to evacuate, and Great Qin would build a city on the territory of the original Turks, establish Xiangzhichong Prefecture, and all the tribes who were willing to submit were the people of Great Qin.

This news spread almost like a whirlwind all over the grassland, when Ashina Yunlie, who returned to the royal court, knew the news, his face turned pale, at this time he wanted to return to the army to fight again, the western front, Tiele and the Uighurs' offensive was unexpectedly fierce, and inside the royal court, those old nobles were also shouting, most of all, he had already made arrangements, but he had no time to crack the tricks of Daqin to build a city.

When Ashina Yunlie suppressed all the nobles who fought against him in the royal court, Murong Longcheng's army had already laid the foundation of Dingxiang City somewhere in the original Turkic territory for three hundred miles, and began to build the city.

At this time, the real terrifying strength of Great Qin was revealed, and the chambers of commerce of the three northern states began a large-scale grain transportation under the organization of the imperial dynasty, and in just three months, the grain that could feed 600,000 people for a year was transported to the territory of the original Turks, appeasing the small tribes who came to defect.

Because there was no need to worry about filling their stomachs, the strength of those small tribes was all absorbed by Murong Longcheng and put into the construction of the city, and in the end, in just two months, a fortress city was built in the territory of the original Turks. During this period, Ashina Yunlie was too busy to suppress the outpouring tribes in the Turkic territory and deal with the Uighur Tieler coalition forces on the western front.

On the day of the completion of Dingxiang City, Li Ang finally returned to Chang'an, where he had been absent for three years, and he did not know that the battle strategy he had offered to the military hall had not only been adopted, but had already received miraculous results.
