In the military, it is always faster to deliver information.

When he was taken to the southern camp and was still training as a recruit, Lou Xiaolou heard that another battle broke out near the Great Wall of Eternal Night. Because the main forces were fighting on other fronts, the northern battalion even put in the new battalion.

Sure enough, only three out of ten recruits who have just entered the battlefield can survive on the battlefield.

Fifty percent of the recruits of the northern battalion died on the battlefield, and seventy percent died of serious injuries later.

When he heard the news, Lou Xiaolou was eating, and immediately vomited everything cleanly.

Seventy percent, not even a list of the dead remained.

At that time, he had lost all hope.

Just like his eldest brother's name, his brother's building was born taller than ordinary people. Although he is a southerner, he looks like a northerner.

Old military households all know that if they are too tall on the battlefield, if they are not generals, they are a target.

When the old military family in the village who crawled out of the pile of dead people saw his brother, he often pointed at him, saying that this child would definitely not survive if he was so tall and would go to the battlefield in the future.

These creeps are not qualified for healing. Under the circumstances at that time, even if he was slashed deep on the battlefield, he would be killed, and Lou Xiaolou knew very well that his eldest brother basically had no hope of survival.

Nor did he report any hope.

Before parting, he and his brother had agreed that after a major battle, they would exchange letters to each other at the end of each battle.

However, just as he was about to mourn and worship without hearing from his brother a month later, he received a letter from his family from the north.

When he received the letter, he could hardly believe his eyes, and he cried tears of joy when he saw his brother's crooked words on the envelope.

At the beginning, their mother used to pay a chicken for the old people in the tribe to teach them to read, and the two brothers could write more or less Braille, of course, it was not pretty, but in his eyes it was the most beautiful painting.

He hurriedly opened the envelope, and in the pile of crooked words, Lou Xiaolou saw the title for the first time.

Princess.

He never thought that his stupid big brother would actually have a relationship with the county lord. He originally thought that his brother had written it wrong or recognized the wrong person, but as long as the eldest brother was alive, nothing else mattered.

He held the letter for months, and then trained harder and harder, hoping to gain a position in the army so that he could transfer his eldest brother back to the south in the future.

But it is not easy to get ahead, and they are gradually changing from recruits to veterans, and more and more family letters are exchanged with each other.

His eldest brother's words are also getting better and better, and the only thing that remains the same.

It is the "county lord" who will definitely be mentioned in the letter.

With the passage of time, the county lord gradually became a captain, a general, a lieutenant general, and finally a "general" in the heart of his eldest brother. ”

And at that time, even though they were thousands of miles apart, the story of that woman spread from the northern camp to the southern camp.

Lou Xiaolou knew that the county lord was actually real.

He realized what a special team his eldest brother had entered.

That team, called the Silver Cicada Guard.

His eldest brother also went from a small soldier to a general under the county lord.

But Lou Xiaolou didn't feel jealous, because it was his eldest brother's death. He had learned through military intelligence that his eldest brother had been given the opportunity to return to the south after a meritorious service, but his brother had given up that opportunity.

At that time, the people in his hometown who came to the south with him to serve as a soldier could not understand, and everyone laughed at his eldest brother for being a fool, but only he knew.

His eldest brother wanted to stay by the side of the county lord.

Stay with his generals.

And then again......

Seven years ago, the north underwent drastic changes, the empire collapsed, and the entire Shanhai continent was turned upside down.

Lou Xiaolou closed his eyes.

He never received a letter from his eldest brother again.

When he received the order to escort the princess to Nanchu, he only regarded it as an ordinary task, and if he hadn't climbed to such a position in the army, he wouldn't have received such an order.

Seven years is enough for him to forget a lot of things. He is no longer the barefoot boy Lou Xiaolou in that small village, he is the captain of the Southern Battalion, he has obtained the title in his generation, he will always serve the former Qin court, just climb up, just save his life.

He thought he had forgotten a lot of things.

However, he didn't expect that looking at the back of the running girl, those crooked family letters appeared in front of his eyes little by little.

"The county lord gave me a knife today, and she said that only I can lift it."

"The arm was injured in this battle, and the county lord sewed it for me, and she said that she would not need a soldering iron in the future."

"The county lord's eyes are so good-looking."

"How did the county lord know that the Xijon people were ambushed in that mountain bag? Why is she so powerful? ”

"The county lord has become a general."

"I saw His Royal Highness the Great Prince, he came to the Great Wall to ask the county lord for marriage, and the county lord agreed to him."

"County Lord......"

The next moment, Lou Xiaolou quietly opened his eyes and looked at the girl sitting in front of the bed.

Who would have thought that a woman who he knew only through letters would appear in front of his eyes like this.

"Are you ......" he looked at Ying Baoyue and called softly, "County Lord?" ”

Ying Baoyue was slightly stunned.

"It's been a long time since I've heard anything like that," she smiled, her finger tapping her finger to her lips, "but no one else can hear you." This is not what the average person would call it. ”

"Who can you call it?" Lou Xiaolou looked deeply into the eyes of the girl in front of him.

"Normally, only my soldiers would call it that," Ying Baoyue said as she looked into his eyes.

Lou Xiaolou's eyes lit up, and the next moment he looked at her and asked seriously, "Then I, can I become your soldier?" ”

Ying Baoyue was stunned when she heard this, and did not answer immediately. She looked at the knife on the back of the man lying on the bed and whispered, "You were injured when you were exploring the path, right?" ”

Lou Xiaolou was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

"Six roads, all of them, right?" She asked quietly.

The man on the bed looked grim and nodded with heavy eyes.

At the beginning, Ying Baoyue drew six maps for him, three of which were official roads leading to Soochow, and three were mountain paths. But after his investigation, there were some people who were openly and secretly ambushing and checking passers-by, especially girls around fourteen or fifteen years old. He was even attacked for exposing his former Qin accent on the last road.

And the people who attacked him were more vicious, more unknown, and more unfathomable than the killers they encountered when they went to Nanchu.

Thinking of the number of the former Qin army, dress, weapons and eyes on those people's flags, Lou Xiaolou only felt a chill in his heart.

That's no ordinary killer.

"So you should already know," Ying Baoyue said as she looked into the eyes of the man on the bed, "My future path will become more and more dangerous." ”

Lou Xiaolou was stunned when he heard this, looking at the eyes of the girl in front of him, he realized something, and struggled violently to get up, "Your Highness, do you still want to ......?"

His only consciousness when he passed out was to persuade the girl to run away, but she ......

"That's right, I'm not going to run away." Ying Baoyue looked into his eyes, the girl's eyes were firm, and they did not shift like a rock.

"The path I am walking is a Shura path." She reached out and pressed him and asked, "Are you really going to follow me?" ”

She spoke softly.

"I'm going to Soochow."
