An army of more than 100,000 people bypassed Taihua Mountain from the north of Zheng County, advanced to the boundary of Hongnong County, and advanced all the way to the east.

And riding at the front of the line were Guan Hai and Duan Xuan, each carrying a big knife. Guan Hai was on the left and Duan was simmering on the right, and the two of them walked slowly forward, while talking a few words from time to time.

Duan Xuan, who had witnessed Guan Hai's bravery, admired this black-faced general from a yellow turban very much, Guan Hai was also very rude, and he was a little familiar with people on weekdays, and the two talked very happily along the way.

Behind the two were 10,000 Luoyang Army cavalry wearing red robes and riding purebred northern war horses. All the cavalry of the Luoyang Army, with straight waists, carrying simple knives and round shields behind them, they lined up in formation, keeping a distance of three fists between the horses, and looking from the side of the queue, the array of this cavalry can even be comparable to the neatness of the infantry.

Behind the cavalry of the Luoyang Army, there was a black press and a Xiliang iron cavalry wearing the armor of the Xiliang Army. Although the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is also a cavalry division that can fight well, their queue is a little messy compared with the Luoyang Army cavalry in front, at least the horses and horses rarely go hand in hand, and they are somewhat uneven.

Trailing the Xiliang Iron Cavalry were 100,000 Xiliang Army infantry. All the infantry of the Xiliang Army were heavily armed soldiers armed with large shields and short spears, and those lightly armed infantry who used longbows in the past also changed the armor of the heavy infantry. Due to the ease of infantry formation, the Xiliang Army that joined Liu Wei was not much inferior to the infantry of the Luoyang Army in terms of formation.

Walking behind the team was the infantry of the Luoyang Army wearing red armor. The infantry of the Luoyang Army was divided into three teams, and the one who followed the Xiliang Army was the Pu Dao formation holding the Pu knife. Sandwiched between the Pu Dao Array and the Team Tail Mo Dao Array are crossbowmen armed with crossbow arrows.

In this long black and red team, there is a carriage that is particularly eye-catching.

The pitch-black carriage carriage has just been painted, and the smooth patent leather reflects a faint luster in the sun. Led by two dwarf horses, he was surrounded by a group of Luoyang Army infantry and slowly advanced with the team.

In the carriage, Tai Shici, who was wearing golden armor and a gilt crown, looked depressed, and lifted the curtain from time to time to look out.

Riding in the same car with Tai Shici was Pang Tong, who was wearing a deep cloth coat. Compared with Tai Shici, Pang Tong's expression was much more indifferent, his eyes were slightly closed, and his body shook slightly with the shaking of the carriage, as if he was about to fall asleep.

"Military ......" lifted the curtain and looked out for a while, Tai Shici whispered to Pang Tong: "The last general is dressed as His Royal Highness, and this armor is really ...... Especially sitting in the carriage, the ass is about to sit out of the cocoon, where is there a happy ride on horseback! ”

"I think it's happier to ride in a carriage than to ride a horse!" Pang Tong, who was leaning back on the carriage, opened his eyes, looked at Tai Shici and said unhurriedly: "The wind can't blow, the rain can't rain, if you ride a horse, it will be a lot more painful than riding a carriage." ”

"Alas!" Tai Shi Ci sighed helplessly, as if he disagreed with what Pang Tong said, he shook his head, and lifted the curtain to look out of the carriage, perhaps too eager to ride on horseback, and there was a trace of impatience on his face.

At the same time, on the top of Taihua Mountain, six people wearing the people's deep clothes were standing on the top of the mountain with war horses.

At the top of the mountain, the terrain is quite flat, and in order to facilitate the march on the mountain road, all the horses are blindfolded with black cloths, and they stand obediently next to the six people.

Liu Wei, who was standing at the front with a horse, looked at the misty mountains and forests, took a deep breath, and said to Guan Qing on the side: "Qing'er, can you see the sublime beauty here?" ”

"Your Highness seems to like this place very much!" Holding the horse and standing beside Liu Wei, Guan Qing's pretty face also had a little smile on his face, and he answered softly.

Without following the army and smelling the strong aura of conquest, Liu Wei and Guan Qing both felt a lot calmer in their hearts. At this moment, in front of them, there was no longer the cold sword light and shadow, and there was no more the neat footsteps of the army marching.

All that appeared in front of them was a peaceful mountain forest. From time to time, there were a few howls of old apes in the mountains and forests, which broke the silence of the mountains and forests, but also added a few different kinds of interest to this fairyland on earth.

"yes!" Looking around at the undulating mountains and the clouds and mist that swirled between the mountains in the distance, Liu Wei sighed softly, took Guan Qing's words and said, "How beautiful! If you can build a hut on this mountain, you can live there for three years and five years. Spread out a small field and farm mulberry hemp every day, what a pleasant day it should be! ”

Standing beside Liu Wei, Guan Qing did not answer his words. If Liu Wei has the heart to retreat at this time, hundreds of thousands of troops and hundreds of people will face a situation where no one leads them, and one day, they will be enslaved by others.

Guan Qing didn't reply, and Liu Wei didn't force her to respond. He slowly closed his eyes, opened his arms, and took a deep breath of the beautiful breath of heaven and earth contained in the mountains.

When his eyes opened again, the indifference in his eyes had completely faded, and in their place, they were filled with the essence of desire.

"Qing'er once said to this king before that everyone in the world can retreat to the mountains and forests, but this king can't!" Looking at the mountains in the distance, Liu Wei said with a solemn expression: "How majestic is this mountain, how steep is the mountain, and in the end, it has not been conquered several times for my army?" Since the general trend of the world forces this king to conquer the battlefield, fate has destined this king to no longer be mediocre in this life! This king will not have the slightest hesitation, one day, this king will lead a million male soldiers, set foot on countless steep mountains, conquer all the rebels who are in trouble in the world, and hold this infinite country tightly in his hands! ”

After saying the most words, Liu Wei clenched his fists and pulled his arms towards his waist and ribs.

Liu Wei expressed this emotion, including Guan Qing, several people standing on the side all hugged their fists and bowed, and responded in unison: "Your Highness is mighty!" ”

"Let's go! Down! Standing on the top of the mountain for a while, Liu Wei waved to Guan Qing and the others, led the horse, and took the lead towards the path down the mountain.

Ascending Taihua Mountain again, the majestic mountains and mountains, washed Liu Bian's heart of the only remaining yearning for comfort and leisure. In his heart, all that was left was the ambition to conquer the world, and it was from this moment that he was destined to have an invincible iron army, crisscrossing the north and south, using their swords and blood to conquer countless powerful enemies in front of them.

The group went down the mountain along the path until it was dusk, and then marched to the foot of the mountain on the east side of Taihua Mountain.

After getting off Taihua Mountain, Liu Wei raised his head and glanced at the gorgeous remnants of the sky, and said to Guan Qing and the four soldiers behind him: "I'm afraid I'll have to sleep in the wilderness tonight!" ”

"Your Highness, we can see things at night, ...... in this barren mountain range" Turning his head to look around at the mountains, Guan Qing said with a little hesitation in his expression: "There are many wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, if there are only one or two fierce tigers, we are not afraid, but in case ......"

"If the wolves come, it's really annoying!" Without waiting for Guan Qing to finish speaking, Liu Wei nodded, turned over and stepped on horseback, and said to everyone: "But the road here is difficult, and it is not suitable to rush at night." While the sky is not completely dark, I will wait for some more eastward to see the villages I may encounter! ”

"No!" Everyone responded, turned over on the horse's back, held the horse's belly between their legs, followed Liu Wei, and galloped towards the east.

The farther you go east, the farther away from Mount Taihua, and the smoother the road becomes. But the sky was getting darker and darker, and Liu Wei and the others galloped for only ten miles, and the remnants of the sky had completely subsided, and another dark night quietly came.

Reining in his mount, Liu Wei looked around. Before his eyes, it was pitch black, and there was no sign of the village's existence.

"I'll stay here tonight!" It was dark ahead, and it was estimated that it was impossible to find the village, Liu Wei turned over and got off the horse, and said to Guan Qing and the others: "Everyone is riding a war horse, the wind is cold at night, don't catch the wind cold!" ”

"No!" Everyone first responded with their fists, and then they also turned over and dismounted, each found a flat place, and tied the horses, while several soldiers found an open space, built a marching stove, and set up an iron pot to cook food.

The orange-red flames flickered, and the tongue of fire licked the bottom of the black pot, but after a short while, the iron pot where the food was cooking came out of steaming white steam, and the rich aroma of corn suddenly spread around.

The soldiers were cooking, while Liu Wei and Guan Qing stood side by side not far from them, admiring the stars in the sky.

The night sky is as pure as being washed by water, and the bright stars seem to have been scrubbed, bright and clear, bright and bright.

With her cheeks resting on Liu Wei's shoulders, her beautiful eyes staring at the stars in the night sky, wearing a linen coat and holding the man's hair in a bun, Guan Qing was actually a little more charming than usual.

In the past, Liu Wei and Guan Qing snuggled up to each other, they were often wearing heavy armor, and the solid armor formed a thick barrier between them. At this moment, the thin deep clothes can make them really feel the softness and warm heat of each other's skin.

Hugging Guan Qing's shoulders, Liu Wei tilted his face and stared at the stars in the night with Guan Qing.

"Qing'er has heard that every star in the sky is a departed person!" Looking up at the stars in the vast night, Guan Qing said leisurely: "I don't know if they can see us at this moment." ”

"Of course you can see it!" Holding Guan Qing and looking at the stars in the sky, Liu Wei felt a trace of emotion in his heart that he had rarely had since he traveled to this era.

He thought of the night sky two thousand years later, of the time of haze, of the not-so-clear night and of the starlight shrouded in a layer of gray mist.

It was his hometown, although the sky there was not as pure as the sky in front of him, and the air there was not as refreshing as the air in the late Han Dynasty, but it was the place where he was born and raised.

Thinking of the era in which he lived in the past, Liu Wei still has some fascination in his heart. But he would never tell anyone where he came from. He knew very well that even if he said his true identity, no one would understand, even if it was Guan Qing, he would probably look at him with a look at monsters. After all, this skin is no longer the same as in the past, but Liu Wei of the Han clan.

"Huh?" The two were hugging each other and staring at the night sky, Guan Qing's small brows frowned slightly, and his snow-white neck twisted, wanting to look to the side.

Feeling her movements, Liu Wei, who was hugging her fragrant shoulder, gently used some strength on the palm of his hand and hugged her tighter.

Xiang Bian's shoulders were hugged a little tighter, and Guan Qing, who noticed something strange nearby, turned his face, his eyes were full of doubts, and he stared at Liu Bian.

Liu Wei didn't give Guan Qing any explanation, he still looked up at the stars in the sky, and the obsession on his face became a little thicker.
