In fact, these warriors worked very hard day and night, and the barbarians had been in such commotion lately that they had to be vigilant against the enemy's attack.

Mu Li found a soldier under the city wall, the soldier's armor was already a little tattered, and his face was covered with wind and frost and vicissitudes.

He said to the soldiers, "I want to join the army, how do I get in?" ”

The soldier was busy with other things, and when he turned his head to see a young man shouting to himself that he wanted to join the army, he asked in some surprise, "What did you say?" ”

"I said I was going to join the army, I was going to defend this city with you, how could I join in?" Mu Li looked into the soldier's eyes and said.

"I can't be the master of this matter, you go find someone else, you look over there." The soldier waved his hand and said with some tiredness.

Mu Li went to find other soldiers, but the faces of these people were full of exhaustion and indifference, and some even looked at him with some pity.

He didn't understand why others looked at him like this, he didn't know why he wanted to come to the army to join the army, he felt that he had no feelings for the city, and he had no obligation to sacrifice himself to defend the city, but he felt that if the city was captured, he didn't know where to go, and he was used to it here, and the owners of those restaurants and steamed bun shops had helped him, and he didn't want those people to die.

At this moment, a cold voice came from behind him: "You're going to enter the army, aren't you?" ”

Mu Li turned his head and saw a pair of eyes that were as bright as cold stars, these eyes should have been tender like water, and they should be full of wind and snow, but at this time, they were full of killing decisiveness and Jin Ge Iron Horse.

These eyes seemed to have seen them before, but they were very unfamiliar, and this person's voice sounded familiar and unfamiliar, as if he had heard such a voice and seen such a pair of eyes when he dreamed back at midnight.

"You ......" Mu Li listened to himself spit out a whisper-like sentence, these familiar and unfamiliar eyes made his heart beat faster, just a second ago he didn't know what the meaning of joining the army was, but now he had a firm goal, that is, for these eyes.

"Why did you want to join the army?" The cold voice continued.

Mu Li calmed down, he felt that his throat was a little dry, and he didn't even know how to answer the woman's question, the woman in front of him had a pair of beautiful eyes, but her voice was very cold, her body was a little thin and thin, but she was covered with heavy and strong armor, and she was followed by several soldiers whose faces were covered with vicissitudes.

Although the woman didn't say it, Mu Lizhong also knew that this was probably the female general Lin Han who had been scolding on the street all day long.

The ordinary people in the city were running and fleeing, and those panicked remarks made everyone panic, but the eyes and voice of this female general gave people an inexplicable reassuring power, as if as long as she was here, the city would definitely be able to be defended.

Mu Li looked into the eyes of the female general and said softly, "I want to guard this city with you." ”

For the first time, he clearly realized that he wanted to do something for a person, because this person wanted to defend the city, so he also wanted, not to prevent himself from being displaced, nor to repay those who helped him, but just to be with this person.

Lin Han looked at him quietly, her eyes were as sharp as a sword, as if she could make all the thoughts in people's hearts have nothing to hide, Mu Xuan suddenly gave birth to an extremely ashamed and extremely complicated feeling, he was thinking about why he didn't come to join the army earlier, and didn't guard the city with this female general earlier.

Mu Li successfully joined the army, he is only seventeen years old this year, but in a special period, now the barbarians wander outside the city all day long, and harass the city from time to time, there are many small soldiers like him who are not very old, and after he successfully joined the army, Lin Han did not treat him differently, he was just a small one among thousands of soldiers.

Soon it was winter, and newcomers like Mu Li had to go through hard training, but he was not afraid of these hardships at all, wearing the somewhat worn armor left by those veterans, thinking of those bright eyes, there was no fear in his heart, he wanted to try to do better, better, just to be closer to that person, instead of always looking at that person from a distance among thousands of soldiers looking up at her.

Mu Li really wanted to get close to the female general and talk to her again, he wanted to tell the female general that when he first saw her, he felt that he was very familiar, as if he had already known each other in his previous life, her eyes and her voice seemed to be engraved in his mind, lingering and unforgettable.

This winter, the barbarians attacked very fiercely, and the crops in the area where the barbarians were located were not easy to cultivate, and they could only rely on cattle, sheep and horses to survive, but winter came, and this year's winter was extremely cold, and their days were also extremely sad, so if they did not attack this small city, many of them would starve to death.

After Mu Li joined the army, he found those soldiers when he wanted to join the army, their eyes were all blank and painful, deep in the border town, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and some information was relatively closed.

It was only later that he heard from the occasional exchanges between those veterans and knew that the female general's father, General Lin, was a great performer back then, and had a discord with the emperor, and after he died in battle, Lin Han inherited his father's will and wanted to become a female general, although the emperor agreed, but he put her in this small border city and didn't ask, and the material and military salary were also very short.

However, this year was particularly difficult, on the one hand, the imperial court did not give enough military salaries and rations, and on the other hand, it was the invasion of foreign enemies, which made these soldiers feel extremely bitter.

But after a difficult winter, the city was still defended, and Mu Li became an experienced young soldier, many veterans in the army were wounded to death, and a young and healthy soldier like him became the mainstay.

Mu Li saw Lin Han again, many times this winter, he looked at Lin Han from afar, but this time he saw her up close.

Lin Han looked at Mu Li's eyes and said, "I remember that you are the soldier who wants to defend the city with me, right?" You're not dead, it's good, and now I've given you a very big task, can you do it? ”

Mu Li puffed up his chest and tried his best to straighten his back, he also looked straight into Lin Han's eyes and said loudly, "I can!" ”

Lin Han said: "You go and guard the city gate, guard this city gate, except for my order, no one should open it at will, this city gate is guarded, this city will be guarded, can you do it?" ”

Guarding the city gate seems to be a very easy job, you don't have to go to the battlefield to charge, and you don't have to be born or die on weekdays, just stand there and guard the city gate, and open the city gate with the order of the general.

But it is also a very boring thing to guard the city gate, standing there for decades, and this city gate has not been opened for several years because of the barbarians, and even if it is opened, some rangers go out to find out the news.

Mu Li wanted to go to the battlefield with the female general to fight together, instead of standing there guarding the city gate very miserably, but he looked at the female general's somewhat tired and compassionate eyes, and still swallowed the words in his heart, he nodded solemnly and said, "I can." ”

Lin Han nodded slightly, there seemed to be a few more scars on her armor, you can imagine how difficult it was to survive this winter.

Mu Li's words that he had hidden in his heart for a long time still didn't come out, he had a deep inferiority complex in his heart, he was just a small soldier, how could he say such disrespectful words to the female general, he didn't know why, but when he saw these cold eyes at that moment, he felt that his mission was to protect this woman.

It's not for the so-called country, it's not for the so-called city, it's not for the people in the city and for yourself, it's just to protect this woman.

How many times he dreamed back at midnight, he often wondered where he had seen this woman and these eyes, but he couldn't think of anything if he wanted to break his head.

Time passed in a hurry, and he defended the city here for five years, and in these five years, it seemed that a lot of things had happened, and it seemed that everything remained the same, and the city still stood here, and those barbarians did not fall in.

Mu Li occasionally listened to the gossip of some people in the city, who said that the female general was in her thirties and had not yet married, and I was afraid that she would not be able to marry in this life.

When he first heard such words, he was very angry in his heart, but then he laughed it off, who could have such a blessing and be able to marry her with such an excellent woman like Lin Han?

In the winter of the fifth year, the barbarians made a comeback again, wanting to capture this small border city, this winter was the coldest winter in ten years, Mu Li's hands and feet were tightly shrunk in his armor, but the cold armor was still very piercing.

He guarded the city gate, and never shouted a bitterness and a tiredness in the past five years, in the past five years, Lin Han came several times, each time he passed by in a hurry, and occasionally said a word or two to him, the tired look in her eyes became deeper and deeper, and people couldn't help but feel a little distressed when they looked at it.

But this winter it has been a little shaken, because the offensive of those barbarians has never been more fierce than ever, and what is even more terrible is that the country is now in internal and external troubles.

Mu Li remembered that when he was defending the city, one day a man who looked like an ordinary man came to him and said to him: "Three days later, when the night is fighting, if you can open the city gate here, and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future, I will give you a day to think about it, if you don't agree, then someone will come to take your life tomorrow night." ”

This person just said softly and left, but Mu Li felt that there was something heavy in his hand inexplicably, he opened his palm and looked at it, this is a yellow gold bar, the money he got from guarding the city for five years does not add up to this gold bar, but that person can give him one casually.
