The night by the Great Wall of Eternal Night always seems to be darker and longer than the night in other places.

It's silent.

The dividing line between the middle of night and dawn is the time when both humans and beasts sleep deepest. The fires for the vigil on the Great Wall of Eternal Night had been extinguished, and it wasn't long before dawn was coming before all the soldiers dozed off. In the midst of the snoring, among the slumped soldiers, no one noticed that a thin soldier quietly opened his eyes.

His body was motionless, and if it weren't for his black and white eyes, it would have looked like a corpse. And he opened his eyes, stared at the few sparks that were flashing brightly or secretly in the extinguishing pile not far away, and after watching quietly for a long time, the man quietly withdrew the hand that was suppressed by the other companions beside him, and slowly stood up.

The thin soldier was clad in armor that was not light, but he slowly straightened up, but there was not a trace of armor rubbing.

The next moment, he grasped the hilt of the knife at his waist and walked towards the fire with the same slow speed, then walked through.

The Great Wall of Eternal Night is called the Great Wall, but in fact the Great Wall is not just a separate city wall as ordinary people think, but is composed of the city wall, the gate, the enemy tower, the dungeon, the camp city, the guard post, and the beacon tower of the town city.

The place where the skinny soldier kept vigil was the beacon tower.

Because the structure of the Great Wall is complex, the beacon tower is a place that is vulnerable to cavalry impact and needs to be repaired from time to time, so in addition to the soldiers who defend the city, the most people who repair the city wall are the people who repair the city wall.

Most of these men were generations of slaves, commoners in forced labor, and sinners, and they worked harder than soldiers, not only to fill in the ravines when there was a shortage of manpower at the beginning of the war, but also to work day and night on weekdays.

It was once because Qin treated the people so badly to build the Great Wall of Eternal Night, and was reprimanded as a violent Qin. However, after the Qin Empire was shattered, the Northern Wei Dynasty took the Great Wall of Eternal Night as its own, and the Great Wall was taken over by the Northern Wei Dynasty, but the lives of the people under the Great Wall did not change at all.

At the foot of the Great Wall, groups of men dressed in coarse clothes, dusty faces and numb expressions, carried stones in the faint light of the torches.

Here the people have no names, and no one remembers their faces, just as one does not remember the weeds on the side of the road.

After all, no one knows if the people they will see tomorrow or if they will not be today.

The thin soldiers staggered down from the castle tower, as if trying to find a convenient place, and at this time, when the people were changing shifts, the exhausted soldiers also slowly dispersed, and many fell asleep directly on the side of the road.

Seeing the thin soldiers, the still sober people avoided in fear. The thin soldier walked forward with a cold expression until he reached the end of the wall, where there was a sparse pine forest, and the corners of the pine forest were sparsely leaning against a few sleeping people.

It was very quiet, with only a few stars in the sky.

The thin soldier walked slowly into the pine forest, which was deserted, and as he walked in, a man leaning against the base of the innermost wall suddenly opened his eyes quietly.

"What, you came here suddenly tonight, did something happen?"

It was a man with a full beard, a face full of dust, and he couldn't even tell his age. But when he slowly straightened up, he realized that he was taller than ordinary men. But because they are usually moving bricks, they are lying on their bodies, so people can't see it.

"Nothing." As if not at all surprised that someone would suddenly speak, the thin lieutenant stood quietly beside the man leaning against the wall, "It's just that I just had a nightmare." ”

"Nightmares?" Minfu spoke hoarsely, "What did you dream about?" ”

The thin soldier looked up at the moon in the sky, "I dreamed of her." ”

The man leaning against the base of the wall was stunned, and the eyes that came out of his thick hair also looked at the waning moon in the sky, "So she is a nightmare for you?" ”

"No," said the thin soldier, clenching the hilt of his sword at his waist, "but it was a nightmare for me to only see her in a dream. ”

It can only be seen in a dream, it is a complete nightmare.

"Really?" The man sitting on the ground was silent for a long time and then slowly spoke, "Then this is indeed a nightmare. ”

I don't know how long the nightmare will last.

"I've dreamed like this many times," said the soldier who was standing up straight, "and when I woke up today, my heart was beating hard. ”

"Really?" The man on the ground was stunned when he heard this.

"Recently...... Is there something happening on the continent? The soldier asked, looking down.

"What's going on...... the people on the ground were silent for a while, "The biggest thing in the Great Wall recently is only the beginner's ceremony of Southern Chu. ”

"Beginner Grand Canon," the soldier nodded knowingly, "it's time again." ”

"But this year shouldn't be much to look forward to."

"It's supposed to be so, but it's just ......" The people on the ground were silent for a moment when they heard this, "Today, when I was moving stones, I saw that several officers received letters from the red feather pigeon, and they were so angry on the spot that they smoked several people. ”

"What happened?" The soldier was stunned.

"I heard that in this year's primary ceremony, in the second round of the battle, the Northern Wei Dynasty actually lost." Minfu said with a frown.

"The Northern Wei Dynasty lost? Lost on polo? The thin soldier was stunned when he heard this, "Hou Liao should be no longer good, who defeated the Northern Wei Dynasty, could it be ......" He groaned and opened his eyes wide, "Could it be Southern Chu?" ”

"It's not ......" The expressions of the people on the ground became more and more complicated, "You will never think of a candidate." ”

He paused and said, "It's Qianqin." ”

"Qin?" For the first time, the thin soldier's originally expressionless face showed a shocked expression, "How is it possible?" ”

"I also think it's impossible, I've sent a message for the third brother to investigate." The man on the ground said quietly.

"Third brother......" The soldier's expression was complicated when he heard this, "Is his business in Yanmen Pass okay?" ”

"Fortunately, there have been a lot of people coming to the shop recently, but he has taken care of a few guys and never shows up in person," explained the man on the ground, looking at the worried eyes of the thin soldier.

"So the specific news, the third brother should be able to find out," the man said, "But I only heard rumors, there seemed to be a lot of accidents in the Nanchu Beginner Ceremony this time, and everyone only fought two rounds, and there were many situations." ”

"The first round of the battle is the victory of Qianqin."

"Two wins in a row......" the thin soldier muttered in disbelief.

"That's not all," the man on the ground suddenly looked up at him, "There's a piece of news that I didn't intend to tell you before the third brother verified it." ”

"What is it?" The skinny soldier asked, frowning.

"The polo battle in which the former Qin defeated the Northern Wei Dynasty ......" The man on the ground stared at his calloused hands with a complicated expression, closed his eyes and spoke quietly.

"In that game, it is said that it was a young girl who led the former Qin Polo Team to victory."

"Girl?" The thin soldier was stunned when he heard this, and the sword in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"There are actually women who participated in the beginner ceremony?" The next moment, he scooped up his sword and stared at the eyes of the man on the ground

"Who is she?"

"It is said to be the former Qin eldest princess, the fiancée of Chunhua Jun Ji Jiashu." The man quietly said the name, "The name is Ying Baoyue." ”

"That princess Heqin who was sent to Nanchu by Qianqin? Ying Hanri's sister? The thin soldier looked even more stunned, "This can't be, right?" She ......"

However, the next moment, his voice suddenly stopped, and he just quietly looked at the face of the man next to him full of vicissitudes.

"We can only wait for the news of the third brother," the man said quietly, "What we can do is wait and see what happens." ”

"There is also outrageous gossip that Qianqin intends to win all three battles in the battle this year."

"Victory?" The thin soldier's eyes narrowed.

"It's impossible," he said slowly, "after all, the third round of the battle is beyond the reach of manpower, after all, it takes ......"

Providence.
