Pushui City at night has a special magnificence, the double-layer city defense wall is bright and bright, bright as day.

The bonfire mixed with fire oil and wood is blazing, the brazier is a hundred steps, the fire altar is a thousand meters, winding for dozens of miles, like two bright bands of light, entwined between the mountains.

The mountains through the city wall are surrounded by firelight, and the candles in the camp tent and the bonfire outside the camp tent are lined up one after another, reflecting each other, like a galaxy.

The vigil soldiers were handed over to replace shifts, and they were on duty in turns, without the slightest slack.

The light of the armor and the guns and halberds are shining between the shuttles and the firelight of the mountain, which is not so dignified.

The Swift Scout Bird Army, a team of five and a team of ten, flew close to the city walls and mountain peaks.

There are also nighthawks and birds hovering in the sky, which undoubtedly gives Pushui a quiet night and decorates the tension before the decisive battle.

Located on the main peak of the mountain where the city defense was interrupted, the lights are the most dense.

That was where Commander Xuanyuan Heng's Chinese army camp was located.

At the place where the four bonfires are burning on the top of the mountain, on the eight steps on all sides, among the quaint wooden pavilions, there is a rectangular wall clock cast in copper.

Due to the special structure of Pushui City and the mountain city, the longitudinal defense line is deep, and the horizontal defense line is long, it is difficult for ordinary drums and flags to transmit the main battalion military orders in time.

Only the crisp, loud, thick and distant bronze bell can play a role in such a vast defense system.

As the saying goes, the long bell falls into the blue sky, and the awakening world is full of the city.

Xuanyuan ordered people to cast a bronze bell overnight and hang it on the top of the mountain, which was used to issue military orders and dispatch people and horses in an emergency situation.

Not far from the bell tower is Xuanyuan Heng's commander's camp, at this time, Xuanyuan Heng and Gongsun Eying sat next to the three-dimensional model map built with sand and stone and wooden blocks.

The two of them looked solemn.

Especially Gongsun Eying, she tried her best to hide her inner worries.

But her beautiful eyes are clear and release clear sorrow.

"All the materials you need are ready?"

Xuanyuan Heng was the first to break the deadlock.

"According to what we have discussed, I will start preparing the next day when I arrive in Pushui, and the things should be enough, in addition, I have also selected a thousand people from each battalion, all of them are capable veterans, and we will leave tomorrow morning. ”

"A thousand!"

Xuanyuan frowned in contemplation, his eyes of pity always looked at Gongsun Eying, and after a while, he continued: "The number of people is still too small, so I will arrange a few groups of people and horses separately to go to meet you in batches in the name of exploring the terrain to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

"Brother Heng, are you doing this because you're worried that he will make a move?"

"I just don't want to give him a chance to make a move, and I don't want to put the entire Xuanyuan Kingdom in danger because of me. ”

"Brother Heng, I ......"

Gongsun Eying wanted to speak and stopped, her red lips trembled slightly, and her voice was slightly choked.

She adjusted slightly, and after a long sigh of relief, she continued: "Brother Heng, you know that he won't allow you, why are you persistent, we have done enough for Xuanyuan over the years, you know that I have always hated battlefield killing, and I only want to live a peaceful and ordinary life." In case of...... What should I do if something happens to you? And what will happen to Xing'er and the child in my womb? Brother Heng, have you ever thought that Xuanyuan can live without the God of War, but I can't live without my husband, and the two children can't live without their father!"

Gongsun Eying tried her best to control her emotions, trying to keep her tone calm, and her eyes were full of tears.

Xuanyuan Heng's face became more and more solemn, and he walked to his wife's side and hugged her tightly into his arms.

"Don't worry, I don't think he'll kill me, just for it. ”

Xuanyuan Heng took a jade square box from his belt and opened it.

A fist-sized bead floated out of the air, and the colorful light scattered from it was instantly released, reflecting the entire big tent brilliantly, shining with light and shadow, magnificent, like a dream.

The bead shape is like a pearl, the quality is like water milk, the light is like a glow, floating in the air and slowly turning, as if there is spirituality.

Xuanyuan Heng recalled the beads, quickly closed the jade cover, and handed it into the hands of Gongsun Eying.

"What is this?"

Gongsun Eying had also seen a lot of heaven and earth treasures in the medicine clan, but when she saw such a strange pearl, she still couldn't hide the surprise in her heart.

"This is the 'Yuan Ling Lizhu', it is a holy relic inherited from generation to generation of the Xuanyuan royal family, its energy is huge, enough to shake the heavens and the earth, my father has spent his whole life and failed to understand the mystery, I have also tried to use the power in it, but it has always been unlawful, difficult to control, even if I have been using Yuan Force to seal it, it can not be isolated from the outside world. The legacy of the ancestors of Xuanyuan, the Yuan Ling Lizhu and the Xuanyuan family are connected by blood, and if they are passed on to the good, the world will be safe, and if they are passed on to the evil, they will be devastated. ”

After Xuanyuan Heng sighed deeply, he tightly took his wife's hand, closed it on the jade box, and continued to explain: "My father handed it over to me before he died, and instructed me to spend my life guarding Lizhu and Xuanyuan. The decisive battle is imminent, you will keep it on your behalf, as long as he does not get this pearl, I will definitely not worry about my life. ”

Gongsun Eying clutched the box tightly, and the light that penetrated from the beads reflected the teardrops that inadvertently slipped from the corners of her eyes.

Her husband's exhortations did not ease her worries, but rather aggravated her grief.

In Gongsun Eying's view, no matter what kind of treasure she holds in her hand, it is not as reliable and reassuring as holding her husband's warm arm firmly.

What's more, she knows her husband so well.

If he was really absolutely sure, he would not easily say what he just said, and what her husband said about "keeping it on your behalf" may mean "keeping it forever".

A sense of foreboding spread in Gongsun Eying's heart, she knew that all persuasion might be in vain, but she couldn't help but speak.

Even if it's just a bit of luck, even if everything is a foregone conclusion, this may be a little bit of "selfishness" as a woman, as a wife, and as a mother.

"You know that he wants more than this, you can see it clearly over the years, why don't I understand, even if you haven't come that far, the 600,000 army of the coalition army is several times the enemy, if you bring tens of thousands of horses into Quancheng, it is ten times the enemy, Yang Minghao of the Eight Great Pillars of Chiyan and Qi Sect is by no means an ordinary person, and now with the addition of Lanling's 'Ying Long Army', you also know that Ying Long Commander Gao Shili entered the pure gold qi realm as early as ten years ago, not to mention ......"

Gongsun Eying gazed at Xuanyuan Heng affectionately, containing infinite tenderness and sentimentality.

"Moreover, the wounds you have suffered are extraordinary. At first, I thought it was only a matter of time before I wanted to clear a few strands of Yuan Force from your body, but after applying the needle for several days, I found that these Yuan Forces not only did not decrease, but increased day by day, and at present, I still haven't found a way to crack it. Brother Heng, when you fight with a strong man on the battlefield, if you use all your strength to urge the Yuan force, you will inevitably be counterattacked, and the more Yuan you use, the greater the backlash, and if you are a little careless...... Brother Heng, do you know? For more than ten years, we have been fighting together on the battlefield, in fact, I am worried and worried every day, but I have never been so scared as now!"

Gongsun Eying put the jade box into the storage bracelet, clasped Xuanyuan's hand, leaned on his broad shoulder, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Xuanyuan Heng was very aware of his injuries, but he didn't want his family to worry, so he blindly covered them up.

The remaining Yuan Force of the Octagonal Exquisite Array was indeed not to be underestimated, and he thought that with the powerful fire attribute Yuan Force in his body, it was enough to dissolve or internalize it.

As everyone knows, the five kinds of mixed yuan power are extremely smoothly attached to his body, and gradually penetrate all the meridians, every time he cultivates the yuan, Xuanyuan Heng can sense that the mixed yuan force is constantly increasing.

In this way, in addition to the more frequent coughing every day, the pain of multiple Yuan forces impacting the eight veins of the Qi Meridian also made him miserable.

What's even more worrying is that, as Gongsun Eying said, even if you don't fall under the opponent's sword when fighting a strong enemy, you may die from the Yuan Force in your body.

Xuanyuan Heng sighed deeply and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his wife's eyes.

"Hey, you have paid too much for Xuanyuan and me over the years, and I wish I could let go of everything, don't care about anything, and don't care about anything, but as the heir of Xuanyuan Wang, as the Xuanyuan God of War, I have an unshirkable responsibility on my shoulders. E-Ying ......"

Xuanyuan lifted his wife's cheek and stroked her silky sideburns with a faint smile.

"Eying, don't worry, I made up my mind half a year ago in this battle, if everything goes well, I can be guaranteed Xuanyuan for ten years after this battle. I promise you, after the decisive battle, I will take you and Xing'er to leave Xuanyuan, go to the mountains and forests to live in seclusion, or return to your medicine clan, I will only accompany you to watch the mountains and seas, refine medicine and ask for consultations, and no longer care about military and political affairs, and no longer ask about the situation ......in Jiuzhou."

Gongsun Eying nodded silently, and the couple looked at each other affectionately.

"Mother, Daddy!"

Xuanyuan Xing hurriedly ran in from outside the tent, and Gongsun Eying and Xuanyuan Heng immediately cleaned up their mood and cheered up, not wanting the child to find out and worry.

"Mother, father, I just saw the golden light in the tent, what kind of fun thing, show it to Xing'er. ”

"Uh...... Belch...... Xing'er, it was my mother who was healing your father's wounds just now, what good things are there! Don't dig around here and ruin your father's map. ”

Gongsun Eying grabbed Xuanyuan Xing, who was running around looking for it, and covered it up unnaturally.

"Maps?"

Xuanyuan Xing was immediately attracted by the three-dimensional map of Pushui built with sand and soil behind him, and his eyes were amazed.

"Oh...... Daddy, you have taken me to ride a unicorn on a unicorn in the past few days, and I have been walking around Pushui City, it turns out that this is for it! This should be the hill where Daddy's main camp is located, and the three camps of the coalition army are outside, and this should be the mountain range behind Pushui, on the corner over there...... Oh, it must be Quancheng dozens of miles away, isn't it?

Xuanyuan Xing pointed at the map with great interest, that seriousness, really cute.

"Accurate, accurate, it seems that you have followed me in the past few days, and you are not all wandering around, and you still remember the terrain everywhere. ”

Xuanyuan Heng was relieved to see that the child was so aura.

"Xing'er, know yourself and know your opponent, invincible, pre-war planning, better than the battlefield fighting, only by knowing all possible situations in the chest, we can be in the battlefield in the initiative, undefeated, and familiar with the terrain is the most basic part of grasping the battle situation. ”

"Ahem, as the so-called good fighters are, invincible, and not defeated by the enemy......"

Xuanyuan Xing lowered her throat and learned her father's tone to supplement, which made Gongsun Eying snicker for a while, and also relieved her once sad mood.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Heng also kept shaking his head and chuckling.

"Daddy, you have to heal your injuries quickly, let the coalition know how powerful Daddy is, and beat them to the ground! My mother is about to return to Yingcheng, but she has prepared a few carts of good wine, and when the time comes, you and your uncles will have a good drink!"

"Xing'er, my mother is pregnant with my sister, and there are many inconveniences on the battlefield, so I have to go back, and I will leave early tomorrow morning, you really don't plan to go back to Yingdu with me?"

"No, Xing'er won't go back, Xing'er has said many times, I want to stay in Pushui City and watch my father defeat the Three Kingdoms Alliance. Daddy, can't you drive the stars away!"

Xuanyuan Xing hugged his father's wrist tightly, for fear that Gongsun Eying would pull him away.

How did he know that his parents had already discussed it first?

"Don't go back, don't go back, to defeat the coalition army, Daddy still needs the help of our little military division!"

"Really, Daddy!"

"That's still false. ”

"Mother, my father has said it, if you want me to help, Xing'er can't go back to China with you. ”

"Okay, okay, if you don't go back, you won't come back, watch your father and son sing and harmonize. It's not early, I want to rest early, your father and son, if you continue to make trouble, I won't accompany you!"

After Gongsun Eying finished speaking, she slowly walked out of the camp tent and went straight to the place where she stayed down the mountain, looking back at the light in the commander's camp from time to time.
