Childe and I sat side by side on the arrow tower, countless stars hanging in the distant and cold night sky overhead. Gongzili looked at the thousands of miles of enemy tents and corpse-strewn plains by the Weishui, and his expression was gloomy: "Ah Shi, are you right or wrong when you say that I want to fight for that position?" Now for my ambition alone, so many people are dying for me. ”

"Does that prince think that the prince is right or wrong to exchange the land of Qin for the support of the Bashu coalition army?"

"Naturally, it's a big mistake!" Gongzi Li's eyebrows were frowned, and his eyes were unusually firm, "Back then, King Zhou Ping was invaded by the dog Rong and robbed the land of Qi and Feng, so he had no choice but to give the precarious old land of Haojing to the Qin people, and he moved the capital to Luoyi with the royal family. During the reign of Mu Gong, the Qin people forcibly drove Xirong and opened up thousands of miles of land, so that today's Qin State was born. Every inch of land under my feet is soaked in the blood of the Qin people, don't say that I will give up fifty miles of fertile fields, as long as I am alive, I will not cede even an inch to Bashu. ”

Therefore, the wrong person is the prince, and God has abandoned him because of his immorality. One day, if the prince ascends to the throne of the king, you must remember that only by practicing virtue and politics can you get the way of heaven. ”

"If Yongcheng can survive this difficulty, Li will definitely follow the way of heaven to implement moral governance. In my lifetime, I will definitely achieve something great like my ancestors, so that the countries of the Central Plains will no longer dare to underestimate my Qin State. ”

"Childe, look!" I pointed to a group of stars above my head and said slowly, "That's the 'Arc Arrow' of one of the Ghost Lord's Star Officials, and if the 'Arc Arrow' star moves, there will be a rebellion in the field under it, so I can predict the chaos of the Qin State today, and I will be ordered by Heaven to help you." Now, the 'arc arrow' is set to come out, which means that everything will take a good turn, and the prince only needs to wait quietly, and the prince will be defeated soon. ”

"Ah Shi, when did you learn the art of astrology?" Childe looked at me suspiciously.

"Tai Shi Mo is a witch who sacrificed to the heavens for King Zhou back then, he is proficient in yin and yang astrology, and can predict the affairs of the world for ten years, and I have only learned a little bit now." I shivered at the night wind, rubbed my arms and laughed.

"The wind is up, I'll take you down, and we'll talk about you later."

I climbed down the arrow tower with Gongzili, and there was a long dragon of people lining up on the steps of the castle tower not far away.

"Childe, what are they doing?" I asked.

"They're wearing breastplates. This is the reward set by General Wu before the war, and anyone who kills ten enemies can receive a leather armor to protect himself. ”

"There are hundreds of people here, where is there so much leather armor in Yongcheng?"

"The dead are picked up, there are Qin soldiers, and there are also Bashu soldiers. If they die in battle tomorrow, the leather armor will have to be taken off and replaced by someone else. ”

The soldiers passed before our eyes with the blood-stained leather armor in their arms, their faces filled with pride and joy, for the leather armor in their bosoms was a testament and reward for their bravery in today's slaughter. I looked at their smiling faces, but I couldn't help but feel a trace of sorrow in my heart, and among them, I don't know how many others will live until this time tomorrow.

"He's your friend?" Gongzi Li pointed to Zhao Wuxian in the distance and asked.

"He is the concubine of Jin Qing Zhao Ying."

"This person has excellent swordsmanship, he is not under General Wu, he is really a talent."

"He's hiding a lot of secrets, and he's a man who is too complicated for me to see. But I believe he's a good guy and a friend you can trust. I looked at Zhao Wuxian, who was holding a sword in the distance, and smiled.

"Childe—" A crowned guard came running from the west, whispering beside Childe.

"Ah Shi, I'm going back to Xicheng now, can you go with me?" Childe asked.

"I still have something to discuss with the general."

"Then you have to be very careful these days, and when the war is over, I will come back to you." After Gongzili finished speaking, he turned over and got on the horse brought by the guard, ran out a few steps and turned back, and said in a loud voice, "Ah Shi, I'm very happy that you can come back." ”

I smiled and waved, and he rode away.

"It seems that you really don't lack people to admire!" Shirtless walked up to me with a sword in his arms and looked at me with a sneering expression.

"You're not hurt, are you? What about Bo Ying and Candle Tree? ”

"Don't worry, there are not many people in the world who can hurt me!" The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and between his eyebrows was his natural arrogance, "The eldest sister is arguing with her future husband about the barn guards, and the candle tree saved a beautiful Qin girl from the assassin today, and now I am afraid that she has already gotten into the bed of other girls." ”

"They caught the Assassins?"

"Only one was caught, and the rest is said to have disappeared out of thin air."

"Candle Chu sent Qin Nu home, you and Bo Huan are here, isn't there no one guarding the barn?"

"Candlestick said he would rush back before the guards changed. It's just that I'm a little strange, didn't Wu Feng ban the people in the city today? ”

"A ban? It already rained last night! ”

"Oh, that's ...... so" Wuxian snorted and said to me: "Let's go, hurry up and ask the eldest sister with me where the Qin girl lives, I'm afraid that kid is going to get into trouble." ”

"Trouble?"

"I'll talk to you later!" Wuxian rushed all the way into Wu Feng's room with me, but happened to bump into Bo Huan with a red face and was held in Wu Feng's arms.

"Ahem." Without a slight cough, Wu Feng looked up and saw us, and hurriedly beckoned: "Come over and help me help the swordsman out." ”

"Xiaoying, what's wrong with you?" I walked over and took one of Bo Huan's arms.

"He twisted his foot while chasing the Assassin today, and he almost fell again. Go to the door and find a soldier, and carry him back to rest. ”

"Don't bother the general's guards, I'll come!" Wuxian walked over and picked up Bo Ying.

Bo Huan reluctantly lay on his shirtless back, turned his head to Wu Feng and said, "General, what about the barn?" ”

"Swordsmen, don't worry, I'll arrange it."

"What did Xiao Ying find?" After Bo Huan left, I asked Wu Feng.

"He felt that the guards in the barn were too loose, and there was a gap in the rotation, and he asked me to send more people over."

"She must have been staying up all night these nights, so she accidentally twisted her foot today."

"Well, I'm relieved to know that you have such a group of friends in the Jin Kingdom. Have you seen Childe Li today? ”

"I've seen it."

"Did he embarrass you?"

"No, I said that I am a witch chosen by God, and I must not marry in this life, otherwise I will die. So, he won't force me anymore. ”

"Not married? But you're ......."

"General, I used to say that I wouldn't marry in order to stay in the General's Mansion and be with you. Now I say I don't marry because I don't want to be trapped in a yard. The country of Qilu, the land of Zheng Wei, I want to see it when I have the opportunity. I smiled casually, stretched out my hand and rubbed Wu Feng's frowning brow, "Besides, when the general gets married this year, someone will be able to take care of the house, and then I will have no worries, wouldn't it be nice to be a ranger who walks the world with a sword?" ”

Wu Feng's face was silent, but the hand on the desk was tightly clenched into a fist, and there was no trace of blood on the knuckles of his ten knuckles. I gently put my hand over his hand and murmured, "It's okay, I'm okay......"

"Newspaper—" A soldier suddenly burst into the door, he fell to his knees, and said in a panic, "General, the barn is on fire!" ”

As soon as we heard that the barn was on fire, Wu Feng and I immediately stood up. I tried to withdraw from the encirclement, and walked out of the wooden building quickly, only to see the flames in the direction of the barn, and the night wind carrying the charred ashes of the grass and trees. At this time, all the citizens who were forbidden to leave their homes ran out into the streets. For a time, the screams and cries in the entire Yongcheng were endless.

"Red Cloud!" Shirtless rode past me, and I quickly yelled.

Hearing my voice, Wuxian turned his horse's head and walked up to me, and shouted, "What are you doing standing outside!" Get back to the house! ”

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to find the candle!"

"I'll go too, I'm more familiar with the roads in this city than you!" I reached out to Zhao Wuxian, who glanced at the fire in the distance and reluctantly pulled me onto my horse.

"Have you already discovered that Qin Nu is the missing assassin? She must have learned about the time of the guard rotation from the candlestick. ”

"That kid will be planted in the hands of a woman one day!" With a loud shout, Wuxian led me towards the West Market.

When we arrived at the house we were looking for, Wuxian drew his sword and kicked the door open, and I rushed in after me, only to see a red-faced scene. The men's and women's underwear was scattered all over the floor, and the candlesticks were lying naked on their backs on the bed, with no covering on them. I pinched a robe on the ground with my fingers and handed it to the shirtless: "Cover him quickly!" ”

Shirtless sneered, walked over, threw his clothes on Candle Chun, pointed his sword at his throat, and shouted, "Get up! ”

Unexpectedly, the candle did not react. I was stunned, and hurriedly walked over: "He may have been drugged!" ”

Shirtless put his sword away and walked around the house.

I opened the candle's eyelids and looked at it, then pressed my thumb hard above his lips. He was in pain and finally slowly opened his eyes.

"Are you awake?" I was pleasantly surprised.

"I'm so happy......" He grabbed my arm and jerked me underneath.

I'm anxious for him, he's good, and he's still intoxicated in the gentle township!

"Red Cloud—" I shouted, ripping my throat open.

Shirtless's reaction was so quick that I was shocked, and it really only took a blink of an eye from the time he rushed in to the moment he kicked the candlestick away from me. And what happened next made me even more shocked, shirtless with a gloomy face, facing the chest of the candle, the sword in his hand fell, and a long blood mark was drawn.

"You're crazy!" I hurriedly took my clothes and pressed the wound on Candle's chest, "Brother Candle, how are you?" ”

"Shirtless!" Candlestick clutched her chest and sat up suddenly.

"The barn is burning!" After saying that, Wuxian kicked the door and went out.

Candle Chu glanced at the wound on his chest and said with a wry smile: "He is really angry, but fortunately he didn't miss his head." After speaking, he tore a strip of cloth on his clothes and tied it casually, "It's just a little bit of skin, it's okay, you go out quickly, I'm going to get dressed!" ”

I hurriedly collected the clothes on the ground and threw them to him: "It's okay, you hurry up!" ”
