Chapter XXIV: The Alliance Is Concluded
The grassland in the early morning is full of boundless green carpets. Facing the sudden light in the east, dozens of horses swept by like the wind, kicking up the sky full of dust.
"Ye Gucheng, there is the Panlong Collar ahead, I can only send you here, cherish it all the way. Zhang Yueli grabbed the reins, and her expression was a little complicated.
"There is Deputy Head Lao Zhang to send him all the way! Please go back and inform Head Zhang, so that he can prepare for the follow-up matters as soon as possible. Although Ye Gucheng is like an arrow, he still has to say polite words.
"Don't worry, from the day we set out, my father has already flown pigeons to spread the word to the defenders everywhere, and he is on his way at this moment. ”
"That's very good, Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang, I won't delay much, rush back to our clan as soon as possible to prepare for war, and say goodbye!" As the words fell, Ye Gucheng led Xuanyuan Xiu to continue to gallop.
Zhang Yueli slowly retracted his gaze, his face turned pale, and his escorted subordinates turned their horses and galloped towards the Xili clan, here, it will become a key area for breaking the pattern of heavy troops.
Coiling Dragon Collar, Heroic Soul Tomb!
Ye Gucheng once again rode his horse to this nightmare-like land, his mood was extremely heavy, here, there were countless Xuanyuan Iron Riders who sacrificed their lives for him! His eyes were even more red because of the large dark red grass, this was the camp that was attacked at the beginning, although it was no longer possible to see any corpses, judging from the traces of the scene, the original battle should have been very tragic! The original joy of the alliance's success is now gone!
He doesn't like this world, he hates the laws of this world very, very much, but he has to integrate into this world! He knows more clearly in his heart that the real war has not yet begun, and in the future, more people will die on the battlefield! And the purpose of the war itself is only to live better!
Xuanyuan Xiu seems to have lost the desire to chat, in fact, since she stepped into the Panlong Collar, the sadness has not stopped!
Witnessing this scene, Ye Gucheng was even more sad!
Believe me, I will give you a truly peaceful life!
"Drive!"
Ye Gucheng seemed to vent the depression in his heart, and suddenly galloped on his horse.
It's a pity that he doesn't know that in this era, in this land, there is no real peace at all!
Ye Gucheng is back!
When the villagers rushed to tell each other like an explosion, Xuanyuan Zhuo had already stood at the entrance of the village excitedly to greet him, and he had already received the news from the flying pigeon about Ye Gucheng's successful alliance with the barbarian tribe.
The high priest's prophecy has indeed come true, Ye Gucheng is really a Destiny, and there is hope for the revitalization of Xuanyuan's vein!
"See the patriarch!" the hundreds of iron horsemen who accompanied the Traces of Heaven dismounted and saluted.
Although Ye Gucheng did not pay homage on one knee like an iron horseman, he also hugged his fists and bowed deeply: "Fortunately, I am not dishonored!"
It is the result of the lives of 200 iron horsemen!
The night, deep and terrible, is like the open mouth of a giant beast, eerie and terrifying!
Back in the familiar village, Ye Gucheng felt very down-to-earth in his heart, he thought he could sleep peacefully, but he found that he had no intention of sleeping, there was no wind tonight, the angry sea was flowing quietly, and there was no cold in the past, which was also suitable for meditation.
I don't know what happened to my family! Maybe in their hearts, they are afraid that they are already dead!
"Lonely City, why don't you sleep?" Xuanyuan Xiu came to the beach at some point and sat down next to him.
It seems that the movement just got up was too big, which disturbed Xiu'er!
"I'm sorry! I've woken you up!" Ye Gucheng stared at the hazy pretty face, and his heart was at peace.
"I dreamed of Brother Yao!" Xuanyuan Xiu didn't look sideways, stared at the end of the angry sea, and whispered: "He stood in a pool of blood and kept telling me, run, run, escape from the village, escape from this continent!"
Ye Gucheng's heart ached, and he didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only hug his delicate body tightly, let the other party's head rest on his shoulder, and after a long time, he whispered: "Xiu'er, do you like to listen to songs?"
"Hmm!" Xuanyuan Xiu nodded, she had heard the military songs sung by Ye Gucheng's soldiers, and she liked it very much.
Never thought of standing on top of the clouds
I just want to be with you for the rest of my life
The fireworks on the horizon are gorgeous
I can't beat you and smile at me
Actually, I've been hiding in the clouds
If you are a spring breeze, my heart is fluttering
Not near, not far silently by your side
Accompany you in the twilight dynasty to protect you
。。。。。。
Ye Gucheng likes this song very much, because this song can fully express his thoughts! He never wants to be a great man, he just hopes that he can always protect his beloved woman!
Xuanyuanxiu couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was! She just felt very sweet and very happy! Although this song was not a military song she had heard before, it was really good, and it was the most beautiful song she had ever heard since she was a child! Although she couldn't understand some of the lyrics, she couldn't refuse the deep gaze that got closer and closer, and her heart was beating so hard that she could even feel the heavy breath passing over her red lips.
Oh!!
Whoa!
This is?
Ye Gucheng's face changed suddenly, staring at the depths of the Demon Beast Forest, and at the end of the dark and gloomy place, a wolf howl was sounding.
Soon, there was movement in the village, and the fire was burning in the darkness.
Xuanyuan Zhuozhuo's eyes were full of fear when he looked at the Demon Beast Forest, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.
"Patriarch, what's going on?" Ye Gucheng arrived quickly with Xuanyuan Xiu, but when he saw everyone's solemn expressions, his heart was nervous for no reason.
"Ye Gongzi, this is already the fourth day!" Xuanyuan Zhuo retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice: "Four days ago, wolf howls came from the Warcraft Forest one after another, and there were not so many at first, and the wolf howls gradually increased day by day, and the sound was getting closer and closer, the old man was really worried, but he couldn't let the clansmen venture into the forest to check!"
"Patriarch, hasn't this kind of thing happened before?"
"Ye Gongzi, to be honest, this is the first time it has appeared in more than ten years, just in case, we have already closed the mountain!"
No wonder you see so many obstacles piled up on the forest passage during the day, it seems that this place is really not suitable to stay for a long time!
Thinking of this, Ye Gucheng proposed: "Patriarch, it's better to let the clansmen pack up tomorrow morning, let's set off to the Trace of Heaven as soon as possible, the barbarian tribe is also waiting for us to cooperate, and choose the time to join forces and go to the Strange Stone Forest together." ”
"It seems that this can only be the case!" Xuanyuan Zhuo sighed and looked around at everyone: "Everyone hurry back to rest, and leave to move to the village tomorrow morning, Xuanyuan Bu and Xuanyuan Dongteng, the two of you stay behind and pay attention to the movement in the forest." ”
"Yes!"
After this trouble, Ye Gucheng was also in no mood, and led Xuanyuan Xiu back to the house to recuperate.
In the early morning, when the first light was scattered to the earth, the relocation of the village began! In fact, the villagers had nothing to tidy up, except for some daily necessities made of animal skins, only a bunch of finished or semi-finished bows, arrows and spears, fortunately there were enough horses, but nothing was left behind, the obstacles were too big to be removed, and they were simply piled up at the exit of the Warcraft Forest.
The Warcraft Forest during the day was completely different from the night, there was no wolf howl, there was no gloomy darkness, and it looked unusually calm! It's just that Ye Gucheng always felt that behind this calm, it was a harbinger of a storm.
Finally got out of here!
Looking around at the place where he had lived for more than two months, Ye Gucheng's heart rarely showed a trace of reluctance.
"Let's go!"
With Xuanyuan's outstanding order, hundreds of iron horsemen took the lead in opening the way, followed by the entire villagers. At this moment, the clansmen knew that they were at peace, and they went away from now on, and the battle officially began!
Rectify Xuanyuan, restore my rivers and mountains!
Blood will not be shed, death will not be truce!
Rectify Xuanyuan, restore my rivers and mountains!
Horse leather shroud, fight to the death!
This is a ballad adapted by Ye Gucheng based on a TV series, and this song, he sang it only once and was accepted by the soldiers of the whole clan, becoming the first war song of the Xuanyuan clan!
As if infected by the emotions of the soldiers, the whole villagers, regardless of men, women and children, echoed in unison with sad faces!
It's a pity that the Xuanyuan people who went away didn't notice it, and not long after they left, a pair of scarlet bloody eyes appeared in the Warcraft Forest. Perhaps the peeping man used too much force, and a thick branch cracked in response.
Traces of the sky
"Report!" a herald quickly stepped into the tent, clenched his fists on one knee and said, "Report to the young patriarch, the patriarch and the villagers." ”
It's finally here, although the trip is much slower than expected!
"Tell the soldiers, prepare the food tents, the tribesmen are tired, let them rest. Xuanyuan Wuji said as he walked, at this moment, what he wanted to see most was his father, thinking of Xuanyuan Xiu, his eyes showed a trace of anger.
"Yes!"
The living conditions of the Traces of Heaven are much worse than those of the villages, and the meat is only the fish in the angry sea, of course, now that the cold winter is coming, they can't go to sea, even if they go out to sea to fish, they can't supply the food of the eight thousand soldiers, so in addition to relying on the meat transported by the village, most of them rely on the wild grasses and tree bark all over the mountains to feed their stomachs, and of course, when you are lucky, you can also get some game, such as snakes, rats and insects!
Ye Gucheng has eaten weeds and eaten tree bark here, of course, he has never seen snakes and rats or anything, but even if he does, he doesn't dare to swallow it! As a modern person, it is indeed very uncomfortable to eat these foods after tasting delicious food, he almost always swallows them forcibly, and such a poor day, these people actually endure it for more than ten years!
Whenever he thought of this, Ye Gucheng was particularly envious of those people who lived in a modern society where food and clothing were worry-free, there was no famine, no war! Unfortunately, he could no longer have such a day!
"Father, I want to know, why do you want to give Xiu'er to Ye Gucheng?" This question has always been held in Xuanyuan Wuji's heart, he is very uncomfortable, every time he sees Ye Gucheng and Xuanyuan Xiu flirting, he has an urge to go berserk.
"Is there any problem?" Xuanyuan Zhuo was calm, because he knew that Ye Gucheng and Xuanyuan Xiu went up the mountain to collect food, but he didn't deliberately lower his voice.
"Didn't you promise me that you would let me marry Xiu'er in two years?Why did you give her to others in a blink of an eye?" Xuanyuan Wuji's heart was like a fire burning, as if it was not the patriarch and father standing in front of him, he really wanted to slap it down.
"The prosperity of the family and the woman, if you can only choose the same, what will you choose?" Although Xuanyuan Zhuo was asking, his eyes had gradually jumped with a trace of anger.
"As a warrior, it is a duty to protect the family and the family, and as a man, it is also a responsibility to protect women, and the prosperity of the family depends on the bloody battles of the soldiers, not at the expense of the women of our clan. Xuanyuan Wuji couldn't accept this, he was ashamed!
The so-called knowing son Mo Ruo's father, Xuanyuan Zhuo is too aware of Xuanyuan Wuji's temperament, so he gave Xuanyuan Yao a strict order at the beginning, in the name of the Xuanyuan clan patriarch, ordered Xuanyuan Wuji not to block or interfere with all of Ye Gucheng's instructions, let alone hurt Ye Gucheng at all.
