Zhang Liang ...... Mulan ...... "The man sat on the throne with the gilded dragon seal, stroked the slender purple and silver hair on his forehead with his hand, and repeated the two names in his mouth.

There was silence in the main palace of Xianyang, Arthur and Zhong Wuyan stood in front of the hall and personally reported to Yingzheng all the situations encountered in the mausoleum. After hearing about the matter of Lingcheng, Ying Zheng fell into contemplation, and repeated the names of Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan with serious eyes.

Indeed, Mulan's strength even exceeded his expectations, this first female swordsman from Tang Cao almost killed the three masters he sent three times, but compared to Mulan, what made Ying Zheng's heart palpitate even more was actually the Zhang Liang who had never heard of it......

"This Zhang Liang ...... Who the hell is it? Ying Zheng gently traced his finger on the lines of the throne, and asked again with a solemn gaze.

"Your Majesty, the ministers really don't know where this person came from, but they just know that he is Qin Chu's person, and his demonic Dao strength is very strong, and his comprehension of Demon Blue is quite deep." Arthur thought about it again and again, but he could only say, "Also, the magic path he practiced is very special, and he once completely controlled Daji in an instant, and blocked all of Daji's actions. ”

At this time, Daji had already turned back into a petite and cute fox, lying quietly beside Ying Zheng, wrapping his gorgeous and supple tail around Ying Zheng's feet, and sleeping affectionately at Ying Zheng's feet.

"Demon Mage............ Complete control ............" Ying Zheng's fingers suddenly pressed into the groove of the throne, and then his voice was low, "In the territory of Qin Chu, there are really many masters buried, but it's a pity...... It's all an obstacle to the Emperor's diagram. ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan, they are very likely to join forces with Xiang Yu and Liu Bang......" Arthur said to Yingzheng. Well...... It's bound to be so......" "And ...... Now that Xiang Yu has occupied Lingcheng - Lingcheng is the focus of the war on the territory of Qin and Chu, should we take advantage of their unstable foothold and immediately send heavy troops to recapture Lingcheng? Arthur continued, his eyes flickering faintly as he spoke.

"Yes, I also think that we should take the mausoleum back as soon as possible......" Zhong Wuyan on the side heard Arthur's words, thought about it and immediately seconded it. The military importance of the Mausoleum City is naturally extraordinary, but there are still some things that they can't let go of - the defenders of the Mausoleum City that they have to abandon in order to escape from the battlefield!

"Let's talk about it...... After Xiang Yu got the news, he immediately sent troops to seize Lingcheng, and the speed was indeed beyond my expectations-" Ying Zheng said in deep thought, "But we can't move lightly now, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu's strength cannot be underestimated after all...... I have already sent Bai Qi to Qianjiangling with an imperial order to mobilize all the troops, and I will talk about it when he returns. ”

"All right, go down...... In a short period of time, presumably Xiang Yu and the others will not make any big moves...... When Bai Qi comes back, we will discuss it comprehensively......" Ying Zheng sighed lightly and said. He thought to himself, I'm afraid he has to call Bian Que back as well......

"Obey the order, and the ministers will leave." Arthur and Zhong Wuyan slowly retreated. Before turning around, Arthur took a deep look at the man standing in the shadow of the palace - in fact, this was the first time since Arthur joined Yingzheng that he knew of the existence of Miyamoto Musashi in this Xianyang Palace......

"Do you have something to say?" Ying Zheng's eyes were slightly sideways, looking at the palace that was still standing in the shadow of the temple pillars, and the palace "Mulan-" The low and somewhat hoarse voice sounded quietly, and Miyamoto's eyes showed a sword-like sharpness, "This Tang Cao's first female swordsman-"

"Leave it to me...... Ying Zheng quietly looked at Miyamoto in the shadows, at the sword marks on his left eye that I don't know how many years had passed, at the two ghostly swords on his waist, and at his will that had never changed through wind, frost, rain and snow.

This man was born to be the first in the world. Ying Zheng knew, Ying Zheng had long known ............ - Lingcheng, the camp of the coalition army. Smoke from the smoke of the cooking stove rose in the camp, bringing a long-lost sense of human life to the half-ruined city.

"It's time to eat! It's time to eat! Ji Bu, the leader of the Black Rhino Regiment, stood by the stove and shouted to the soldiers in the camp. Everyone queues up to pick up food, don't cut the line and crowd. "The previous defenders of Lingcheng have joined our camp, everyone get along well! The previous fighting and hatred are all over, and from now on, we will all be brothers in the same army, treat each other, and do not separate. Long He, the leader of the Kuiwolf Regiment, stood aside, and saw that the Hundred Beast Army and the defenders of the original Tomb City who came to get food were obviously standing in two groups, so he said in a harmonious voice.

But despite this, the situation did not improve much, and the people of the Hundred Beast Legion and the defenders of the original Tomb City still stood vaguely on both sides to eat...... This is also inevitable, after all, a day ago they were still fighting to the death like enemies, among which their respective brothers died at the hands of each other, life and death hatred or something, there are countless people.

But all this has to be dissolved by everyone, because they are no longer enemies, they are now standing on a line, there is a common enemy, there is a common purpose - Xiang Yu, who was standing outside the tent, watched the lunch situation of the soldiers from afar, and just sighed lightly The situation is urgent now, and he can only hope that these soldiers can dissolve the hatred and estrangement as soon as possible, because only a united and cohesive army can have a chance of winning on the battlefield.

One after another, all the soldiers had lunch. Ji Bu went to the beast pen to deal with the food problem of the mounts, these wolves, bears and beasts that were like bamboos on the battlefield were also swept in terms of food! After Ji Bu left, Long Ji also turned around and walked into the cooking room, found the commander of the cooking soldiers, and asked, "Is the ginseng soup ordered by the King of Han boiled?" ”

"It's alright, Captain Dragon. I boiled it for three hours, and the medicinal power of the ancient ginseng had already seeped into the soup. The captain of the cooking soldiers brought the porcelain cup containing the ginseng soup to Long Ji and said to Long Ji with certainty.

"Well, give it to me." Long He took the ginseng soup and turned to leave. Long He carried the ginseng soup all the way to the north corner of the camp and came to Mulan's tent. "Miss Mulan, are you there?" Long He stood outside the tent and asked politely. "I'm here." In the tent, Mulan said. "King Han said that you have been weak recently, so I asked the cooks to cook you a bowl of ginseng soup, and I brought it to you."

"Thank you, thank you for me, King Han." Mulan was startled for a moment, and then thanked him back. It was hard to refuse, so she held out her hand from the tent. Long He gently put the ginseng soup on Mulan's hand, and when he saw her take the ginseng soup in, he silently turned around and walked away. To be honest, he is also a little jealous of this rumored Tang Cao's first female swordsman.

It was when he turned around and left that Long Ji met Zhang Liang who came out of the camp tent next to him. "Hello, Brother Zhang Liang." Long He smiled and greeted Zhang Liang. "Hello, Captain Dragon." Zhang Liang also said to Long Weiwei, "You don't need to call me the head of the regiment, just call me by my name." Long He said with a smile, "I heard, you are Han Xin's brother-in-law, Han Xin and we are both brothers, if Zhang Liang doesn't dislike it, we will be called brothers in the future." ”

"Okay." Zhang Liang smiled, thought for a while and said, "By the way, Brother Xin, he is now recuperating from his injuries in the border city, is his injury okay?" "Hmm...... Ashin's injury this time is quite serious, but now it's much better, and it shouldn't be a big deal. Long Ji paused and said, "Actually, Han Xin is the strongest among us, and he also has the power of awakening...... But, helplessly faced with Bai Qi. ”

"Hmm...... As long as it's okay, I'll be relieved......" Zhang Liang's eyes condensed slightly, and he said softly.

"By the way, Brother Zhang Liang, you haven't eaten yet. Let's go to dinner together. Long He said to Zhang Liang. Oh, I'm not hungry, so I'm not going, and you're eating well. Zhang Liang rejected Long He with a smile, and Long He waved his hand at Zhang Liang and walked alone. Then Zhang Liang turned his head and moved his gaze to Mulan's tent. - Qinchu border city, Longshun city.

The calm night wind was blowing slowly on the forbidden boundary of the border city, which was actually just a very ordinary night wind, but for the defenders of the border city, the wind was extremely cold at this time. After Xiang Yu led the Hundred Beast Legion and most of the army into the inner country, the defending army of the border city naturally fell into an abnormal state of emptiness, and even the laziest soldiers on weekdays would now be unnaturally nervous. After all, what is directly facing outside this city is a desolate ancient place where countless wild monsters and monsters are breeding.

Zhong Liwu, the leader of the Storm Bear Regiment, held a battle axe in his hand, and his face was solemn. He stood on the wall of Longshun City facing the Ancient Land, glanced at the soldiers who were guarding it, and said sharply. "Everyone, listen up! We must monitor all kinds of abnormalities in the ancient land, and there must not be a trace of "obey orders, Commander Zhongli!" The soldiers on duty responded in unison.

There must be no mistakes. Zhong Liwu repeatedly said to himself in his heart, the king of Chu went out to fight this time, led the strongest army to attack the inner country, and entrusted all the affairs of the border city to him, and told him to stabilize the situation in the border city before they resolved the civil strife in Qin and Chu. This is the great trust of the King of Chu, and Zhong Liwu naturally has to do his best to complete it.

After explaining some important things to the guards, Zhong Liwu turned around and went down the city wall. Xiang Yu entrusted him with not only Qin Chu's affairs, but also Han Xin's physical condition. After the battle between Han Xin and Bai Qi, his body was seriously injured, and after being treated by the best doctors in the border city, he still needed a lot of time to recuperate.

And Han Xin's injuries were all in order to send the inner country back to the border city of information blockade regardless of life and death, from the perspective of the overall situation, the significance of Han Xin's move is extremely significant, so no matter what, he must be healed as before. Besides, Han Xin is also their brother-in-arms, and of course Zhong Liwu and them are also very concerned.

Therefore, in order to determine Han Xin's health condition, Zhong Liwu would come to Han Xin's room to visit after monitoring the city wall every day. After walking for about two quarters of an hour, Zhong Liwu came to the door of Han Xin's room where the lights had been turned off. "Have you slept already......" Zhong Liwu paused, thinking to himself, "Then don't disturb him." ”

Thinking like this, Zhong Liwu turned around and prepared to return to his room. It was at this moment that a soldier on night patrol happened to be walking through the cloister. "Captain Zhongli." The night patrol soldier bowed to Zhong Liwu and said. "Hmm......" Zhong Li replied, and then asked intentionally or unintentionally, "Has General Han turned off the lights and rested so early tonight?" ”

"Oh...... The light in the room was the last half of the night, and it went out by itself in half an hour...... I asked General Han if he wanted to change the lamp for him, but he didn't reply, and I guessed that he was probably asleep, so I didn't dare to disturb. ”

"Sleep ......" Zhong Li stared and pondered, in his impression, Han Xin had never slept so early, even if he was injured during this time, he had never slept so early...... Wrong...... The more Zhong Liwu thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he raised his hand and knocked on the door, shouting, "Han Xin...... Han Shin ...... "did not respond.

"Han Xin, did you sleep? It's me, Zhongli! Still no response. In a trance, Zhong Liwu noticed something unusual, so he subconsciously slammed into the door and directly slammed the door. As soon as the door opened, I saw that the gray room was silent and peaceful, and Han Xin's bed was empty. "Oops!" Zhong Liwu scolded secretly and reprimanded loudly, "What about Han Xinren? ”

"This, this, this............ I don't know, General Han was still ...... before" The night patrol soldiers were shocked when they saw Zhong Li, and they also became frightened. "This ......" In a trance, Zhong Liwu suddenly saw that the spear that had been placed at the head of the bed was gone.

Suddenly, Zhong Li's expression changed greatly, and Han Xin left by himself. It was at this moment that a soldier came rushing from outside the house, looking very frightened, and only heard him run and shout. "Report to the head of the group, head Zhongli, it's not good! General Han Xin rode a galloping horse, rushed straight out of Longshun City, and grew a touch of new green in the direction of the inner country, and the flowers bloomed a few sections of red makeup. She stood under the tsubaki tree, her blue eyes and soft waves, accompanied by the flute sound played from under her mouth, through the ancient forest, pointing into the distance.

It wasn't until the drop of dew on the new leaves of Gu Chun slid down and fell on her white and tender fragrant shoulders that the cold feeling made Yu Ji come back to her senses and stop singing in her mouth. Isn't it a little distracted...... Yu Ji shook her head, for some reason, she couldn't feel the person who listened to her flute outside the ancient world, for more than ten days in a row, her flute sound was like a clear breeze, fluttering out, but no one listened. Perhaps the man had gone far away and could no longer hear her flute, or perhaps the man was tired of hearing her flute and did not want to waste his spare time every afternoon listening to the ethereal flute of the hollow valley...... Thinking of this, Yu Ji couldn't help but feel a little melancholy......

Still, she wanted to believe that the person had gone far away for something important and couldn't listen to her flute. And she just needs to stay quietly under the Tsubaki tree in the Araguri, wait for him, and that's it.

Yu Ji thought so, so, every day, even though she knew that the man was not waiting, she would still come to this Tsubaki wood every day and play the flute. She thought that if the man came back one day, she would be able to hear her flute for the first time.
