After several days of cloudy skies, the sun is shining brightly, the sky is cloudless, and the sea is calm and peaceful.

Asuka Yukiliang stood on the pier, facing the sea with his scarred arms outstretched. Yamato is an island country, and most of the resources used by its citizens are given by the sea, and they are the children of the sea, and they are familiar with the sea, the sea, and the wind on the sea and everything about it.

The arms were slightly cool, and Xue Liang felt the sea breeze blowing from the southeast.

"It's a southwest wind, ready to go!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers replied loudly, and the veterans of the first row distributed apples to the soldiers after them, and these red apples were gathered by the people yesterday.

Xing Zeyuan also received an apple, but one person in the team had empty hands.

"One less?"

Asuka Yuryo walked up to the young warrior, looked at him and asked:

"Warrior, report the title of your unit!"

The young warrior paused for a moment, a little weak.

"Report!

"No?"

This time, the Horned Eagle team was only two hundred and ninety-nine people, and Xing Zeyuan had been standing beside him, but the fifteen rows of twenty people in each row were now full.

"Report!"

Beside the young soldier, a veteran said aloud:

"Report to the general, he is my son, I want to take him to the battlefield!"

"No, I can't. ”

Asuka Xueliang refused, and he whispered to the veteran:

"He's too young, he's not yet twenty years old, right?

"General, he can!"

The veteran patted his son on the shoulder, and said to Asuka Xueliang with shining eyes:

"He wants to glorify his ancestors and go to the battlefield with me, general, give him a chance!"

"General, although I am only nineteen years old today, I already have a large star cluster, and I can go to the battlefield! I can defend the country! I can protect the people! I can dedicate my strength to the royal family!"

The royal army only recruits healthy men over the age of twenty, and this young man obviously does not meet the requirements, but his full feelings make Asuka Xueliang silent for two seconds.

"It's a good thing to have such feelings, but military regulations are like mountains and can't be violated!"

Xue Liang said and waved his hand to let him go.

"General, give me a chance!"

Nineteen years old is just a child in Xue Liang's eyes, he kneels down on one knee with sincere eyes.

"General, it's been sixteen years, I've finally grown up, let me dedicate my own strength!

The veteran has a firm attitude and also wants his son to stay, and ordinary parents do not want their children to go to war, for fear that they will be injured or killed. But veterans are different, veterans want their sons to experience the baptism of war and become a real man with responsibility!

Xue Liang's eyes flickered and said:

"Come to the front row with your son!"

"Yes!"

An old man and a young man stepped forward, and the young man looked at Xing Zeyuan, who had been standing outside the team, and his instrument was extraordinary.

Handing his apple to the young man, Asuka Yukiliang said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a gift from the people of Hudu, eat it, and get ready to go!"

"Yes!"

The neat answer was followed by the gaping mouths of the warriors and the crisp sound of apples being bitten. Xing Zeyuan broke the apple in his hand in half and handed half to Asuka Xueliang.

Everyone cherishes the sweet apple, a fruit that represents "peace" at a high price, and they take one bite after another, and the juice glows in the bright sun. Xing Zeyuan and Asuka Xueliang stood together, and the three hundred soldiers didn't know who he was, only that he was the deputy captain of the Horned Eagle Squad, and his position was second only to Asuka Xueliang.

None of them understood why he was qualified for this position, but no one asked the general, and no one asked him.

The soldiers were in a heavy mood, and Yamato did not have a tradition of sending troops to the army, only the custom of welcoming soldiers back home. The pits were chewed and swallowed, they didn't want to waste any food, the morning was slightly cool, and the sweetness of the apples lifted their spirits to the peak.

"Board the ship!"

Three hundred warriors quickly walked onto the prepared warship, and two hundred entered the cabin, which housed fifty large wooden oars, each of which required four warriors to shake together.

The ship set off according to the planned route, and Xing Zeyuan and Asuka Xueliang stood at the bow of the boat, blowing the cool sea breeze. The ships were very fast, and after two hours, the ships changed direction slightly, and they began to move at full speed to the northwest in the north-east direction.

Asuka Zhixin said to Xing Zeyuan:

"At our speed, it's in three hours!"

"Pretty fast!"

"But I'm still a little worried!"

"It's okay, I'm here!"

Xing Zeyuan said confidently:

"You can let everyone rest and rest, you don't have to go full speed, there's no hurry. ”

"Okay!"

Xing Zeyuan was very calm when he commanded, and he seemed extremely mature, he used to be the head of the regiment, and this kind of thing came easily.

"Let's all come out and rest!"

The soldiers stood on the deck, and the curious young man stood by the railing looking at the photo in his hand, Xing Zeyuan noticed him and came over and said:

"Girlfriend?"

"Yes, Vice Captain!"

"Don't call me that, I'm a little older than you!"

The young man scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"What's your name?"

"Tsurufall. ”

"It's really a name full of literature and art, my name is Xing Zeyuan. ”

"Lord Xing Zeyuan, how old are you this year?"

"Twenty!"

"What about your strength?"

"One star god, two small star clusters. ”

"It's so strong!"

"With more practice, maybe you can surpass me in the future. ”

Tsuruku keeps his girlfriend's picture in his breast pocket, which he sewed himself and used to hold her photo.

"Thank you, Lord Xing Zeyuan!"

"If you don't mind, call me Brother Sheng, I don't like the call of adults, I'm no different from you!"

Xing Zeyuan felt that he was not as good as Heluo, because he couldn't protect the person he loved, and he didn't even know where her whereabouts were.

"Brother, you are really my idol, young and promising!"

Xing Zeyuan smiled bitterly, what a young man, just pretending to be deep.

"Xing Zeyuan, will it go on like this?"

Asuka Yukiliang ordered, and after a brief rest of ten minutes, the fighters lined up on the deck.

"Move slowly, don't make everyone too tired, you don't need to work so hard now!"

Asuka Xue Liang nodded silently, Xing Zeyuan always gave him a feeling that he was winning, maybe the strength he showed that day was too strong, so Xue Liang convinced himself in his heart, so he chose to believe in Xing Zeyuan!

Everyone was very nervous, and Heluo, who was holding the giant crossbow on the boat, looked at Xing Zeyuan from time to time, he was like a calm sea, alone for a long time, without saying a word, just looking ahead, he was not flustered without any weapons on his body.

"Crane falls!

"Yes, Father!"

"You just got distracted?"

"Yes, Father!"

"You hold a giant crossbow in your hand, protecting everyone's lives, if you let everyone suffer because of your negligence, it will be useless to regret it for the rest of your life!"

"Understood, Father!"

Heluo didn't want to embarrass his father, and always stared in one direction under his care. He stood firm, his fingers rubbing against the trigger. Only novices do this, veterans worry about misshooting and strive for precision, and novices worry about their slow reactions.

They sailed into the East China Sea at a slow pace, and the four hours that they could have arrived at full speed became ethereal.

Xing Zeyuan leaned against the mast, his eyes closed and seemed to be sleeping. He used to practice in the morning, but now he doesn't bother to do that, he doesn't have any energy at all, because they're not there.

"I've entered the Inland Sea Zone, cheer up!"

When Asuka Xue Liang spoke, Xing Zeyuan got up.

"General, let's speed up and get the boat to rush to the beach. ”

"Why?"

"That's the only way to stabilize the boat, and if it stops in the sea, there will be wind and waves. ”

"Good!"

There were so many of them that it was not difficult to push the stranded warship into the sea.

Fifty great oars swung faster, and with it the speed of a shuttle-shaped warship, the sails were full, and fifty great crossbows were ready to be shot at any time. Asuka Xueliang grabbed the "Blizzard" in his hand, and the two star gods in his chest slowly urged, they were all nervous, afraid that the unknown monster would stretch out the bloody thorny head.

"You can see the coast!"

Xing Zeyuan smiled slightly, and he knew that it would be fine. No matter how strong that monster was, it was impossible to ignore the existence of the Ten Songs.

The ship slammed onto the beach, its hull swaying, and the warriors staggered and fell to the deck.

"I said, it's going to be fine. ”

Asuka Yukiliang was overjoyed, and for the past six hours he had been worried that there would be an accident, and if they were attacked by monsters in the inland waters of Nara Island, their plans would be disrupted, and neither the elite soldiers nor himself would be able to go back.

Nara Island and Asuka Island are separated by only one large strait, and if they are traumatized, they can go back with reinforcements from the team. But not now, because they are making a detour, and they are now located in the vast East China Sea, and without reinforcements, they cannot swim back at all.

Fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen, at the moment when the ship docked, a stone fell in Asuka Xueliang's heart, it seems that what Xing Zeyuan said is right!

"Ashore?"

Xue Liang now trusted Xing Zeyuan very much, and the latter shook his head and said:

"No, let's cook here! Eat well and rest. ”

"Good!"

Asuka Xue Liang waved his hand, and someone immediately began to prepare lunch.

The ship was a war ship, the kitchen was small, and it was a little difficult to serve lunch for three hundred people, but the beach was large, and they brought all kinds of materials.

"General, come ashore with me. ”

"Good!"

"The family I told you about before is here, and the Ten Songs are also here!"

Pointing to a small house in the field, Xue Liang had a whim.

"Can we get Ten Songs to join us?"

"I don't know, but I can fight for it!"

Looking around, the fields here are much barren, and in the distance are mountains and forests and roads.

"Will anyone spy on us? This is the coast after all!"

"No! The murderous reputation of the Ten Heads of Ji Meng has already spread, and many undefeated soldiers have died at his hands. ”

"That's good!"

Seeing people walking up the ridge, Yunyi and Gu Yu both moved their eyes, although they didn't know Xue Liang, they didn't worry when they saw Xing Zeyuan.

"Big brother!"

Gu Yu, whose hands were full of mud, ran towards Xing Zeyuan, she stopped in front of Xing Zeyuan and raised her little hand, Xing Zeyuan squatted down and hugged her, Gu Yu squinted and smiled, so as not to touch Xing Zeyuan's clothes, so she stretched out her hands.

"Is Gu Yu helping her mother work?"

"Yes, yes. ”

"What an obedient man. ”

The lovely Gu Yu smiled, but it made Xue Liang's heart stuffed, men were arrested to be soldiers, not only women have to bear heavy housework, but also children?

"Hello uncle, are you a friend of the big brother?"

"Yes!"

Yun Yi stood behind Gu Yu and took her little hand, he first smiled at Xing Zeyuan, and then bowed slightly politely to Flying Bird Xueliang.

"Please in the house!"

Xing Zeyuan said to Yun Yi that he didn't have to.

"We were on the beach under the ridge and came up to have a look. What about Ji Meng?"

"Let's go fetch water!"

Gu Yu jumped up and down and ran to Xiaohe to help Ji Meng.

"Have you had lunch?"

"Nope!"

Yunyi is a little shy, which perfectly interprets the humility of the peasant girl.

"I'll go and ask them to do more, so I can share it with everyone!"

When Xue Liang left, Yun Yi looked at his back and asked:

"Commander, is he?"

"The Great General of the Royal Army, we are here to end this war. ”

The kimono Yunyi was wearing had a lot of patches, she stayed in place, a little incredulous, she looked at Asuka Xueliang's back again, this war, is it really going to end? Is her husband still alive? Has her hard life finally come to an end?

Xing Zeyuan helped Yunyi with farm work, and half an hour later, a soldier came over with a meal for four people.

"Vice, the meal is ready!"

"Okay, you can go to dinner too. ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers did not have much rations, but there were two bags of white rice, which were boiled into a pot of fragrant salty porridge with dried meat and wild grass. In addition to Yunyi's family, her neighbors can also enjoy a big bowl of thick porridge. They rejoiced in their timidity that the royal army was coming?
