The General Soldier's Mansion was in dire straits, but Wu Wenyuan's wooden house was peaceful.

After Mrs. Wu served Wu Wenyuan to sleep, she sat at the end of the bed with Wuwu and confided in each other about their experiences over the years.

"Although our clan was wiped out back then, fortunately some people escaped, and it was thanks to their action that we were able to survive this sand city." Mrs. Wu's narration is plain, but Wu You knows that every step is terrifying. You must know that in addition to the steep road conditions, those errand soldiers are like wolves. "After coming here, the general soldier was very kind to us, but he worked harder, and everything else was fine, but unfortunately he was old, and the climate in Sand City was too bad, so he had to go, so he was replaced by that brute."

Wu You hugged her distressedly: "Mother, I've hurt you." ”

"You... There seems to be some adventure. Mrs. Wu clenched Wu You's left hand, rubbed the pattern on her wrist, and looked solemn: "This is a blessing and a curse for you." There were once three people in our clan who had this pattern, the first was the ancestor Su Fangquan, and later she cultivated with the help of the two husbands. The last person is your aunt. Mrs. Wu's tone was extremely melancholy: "She was also such an amazing and brilliant person... You'er, if God gives you the opportunity, it will give you a test, and if you succeed, you can jump out of the Three Realms and Five Elements, and no longer suffer from reincarnation. Correspondingly, failure is the destruction of the spirit, and the heaven and the earth are gone. ”

"I understand, mother." Wu You said.

Mrs. Wu said: "The women of our clan are different from ordinary people, and they are charming in their roots, which can be called one in a million. But a good horse must also be saddled to complement each other. A family with the same physique is in Suzhou, and our clan has been intermarrying with it before, but later... It's just old things. In short, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

"Mother, don't say it." Wu You's cheeks flushed.

Mrs. Wu said: "Who is the young man who saved us with a bow tonight, my mother sees that he treats you very differently. ”

Wu You said angrily: "Mother, don't think about it, he is the eldest brother I recognize in the academy, and I am now a man, what difference can he make." ”

Mrs. Wu patted her hand and said, "You'er, my mother experienced the pain of extermination when she was young, and the pain of separation of flesh and blood in middle age, each of which was enough to drive me crazy, but in the end I survived because of your father." He doesn't care about danger, he doesn't care about identity, he only cares about me. It's too tiring to carry everything alone, and you have to cherish it if you meet someone who is willing to help you do whatever it takes. ”

Wu You leaned on Mrs. Wu's shoulder, with mixed feelings. In modern times, she has never been in love because of physical problems, and after arriving in this world, she has never thought about it step by step. But now that Mrs. Wu has passed a little, there is a faint fluctuation in my heart.

"Mother, it's impossible for me to be with him, he is the son of Prince Rui, and the difference in our identities is too great." The experience of the original body has taught her that love without the right person is not long-lasting.

"I am the one who exterminated the clan, but your father was a hot Tanhualang at the time, there was a gap between us, but in the end we were not together, in this world, only you don't want to, you can't do it without you. You'er, our Su clan has inherited the bloodline of the gods, and your identity is more noble than anyone else. "Mrs. Wu exudes a solemn and sacred aura, which makes people want to bow and worship." The inheritance of the Su clan can only rely on you. In another year, you will be in time, and we still have time to carefully select. ”

The sand city seems to have changed the sky overnight, the raging fire is burning in the general military mansion, the billowing smoke fills the entire sand city, and when the morning sun rises, the general military mansion is only a piece of scorched earth, the house is full of ashes, and I don't know whether it is a burned object or a person's ashes, the smell of burning fills the air, pungent and unpleasant.

Some people say that the new commander-in-chief is too unscrupulous, which leads to hellfire. Some people also said that when they heard the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of blades connecting each other last night, it should be that the heavenly soldiers and generals came to crusade. The truth is buried in the night, and no one knows it again.

The morning light pierced through the mist, fresh and returned to the world, Wu You had a good night's sleep, she changed into men's clothes, and gathered in the house with her family, although it was a little narrow, but it was very warm.

"You'er, come and eat."

Aha did not have his own stove, so the women had to get up at midnight to cook at the camp, and the men had to go to the camp to eat and then distribute the labor tasks so that the women could share the rest of the food.

Last night, the fire in the general soldier's house, the flag guards went to eight or nine, and the armored men who were rampant on weekdays were not known to be deterred by something, and hid in the house and did not come out.

Wu You saw that there were three rice and wheat husks made of bran on the table, a small plate of salty pickles, and a bowl of porridge that was so thin that it was to the bottom.

"You'er, although this nest is rough, but very hungry, you will choke a little for the first time, just chew for a while and drink some porridge." Mrs. Wu said as usual.

Wu You nodded and said, "Has Dad eaten?" ”

"Don't worry, I just brought him breakfast, and Ayu is there to accompany him." Mrs. Wu said.

After breakfast, Wu You and Mrs. Wu went to visit Wu Wenyuan, and at the door, they heard Wu Wenyuan and the girl talking and laughing.

Mrs. Wu was afraid that Wu You would feel uncomfortable, so she lowered her voice and comforted her: "Over the years, Meilian has been by our side in your place, and we have told the outside world that you are a side branch of the Wu family, and you have recognized us as your father-in-law." Now that Meilian has the same name as you, I will call her Ayou, call you You'er. ”

"Ayu is a good boy, she is my sister." Wu You is very grateful to Meilian for her dedication to her parents, and her identity is nothing.

Mrs. Wu smiled and nodded, and the two entered the door together: "What are you two so happy about?" ”

Meilian reflexively called out to her mother, turned her head back and saw Wu You, and immediately lowered her head.

"Ah You was stunned for what to do, but I haven't seen anything strange for many years, so I'm called brother." Wu You stepped forward and patted Meilian's shoulder encouragingly.

"Brother... Brother..."Meilian's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Ayo, let's go out for a while and let your brother talk to your father." Mrs. Wu took Meilian's hand and went out.

"Dad, you seem to be in much better spirits today." Wu You stepped forward, gently lifted Wu Wenyuan's clothes, and checked his injuries.

"Kid, how did you get over all these years?" There have been more than three years of connivance, but the bloodline cannot be broken, Wu Wenyuan saw that his daughter, who should have been pampered, was wearing men's clothes, and his heart throbbed for a while.

Wu You took out the dagger, heated it with fire, and while telling Wu Wenyuan about his experience over the years, he helped him dispose of the necrotic flesh very quickly, and put needles, medicine, and bandaging in one go.

"You should insist on taking medicine for the injuries on your body, and you will be able to leprosy in about half a decade, keep your mood comfortable, and your body will soon be better." Fortunately, she came in time, otherwise Wu Wenyuan would not be able to survive this catastrophe. Wu You was extremely glad that he had space to store enough medicine.

"You'er, what are your plans for the future?" The exiles will not be able to leave the Sand City unless the emperor decrees it or the world grants amnesty.

"You can rest assured that the days here... It won't be long. Wu You said.

"Although Prince Rui's status is noble, he is far away from the court, unlike Qiu Xiang, who has been entrenched in the court for many years, and the intertwined roots are difficult to shake." Wu Wen said from afar.

"No matter how deep the roots are, they can't compete with the emperor's taboo." Wu You carefully wiped the needle with alcohol and put it back in the needle bag. "No matter how famous the Su family was back then, it wasn't just that the building collapsed and stopped."

"What do you mean..."The more she understated, the more frightened Wu Wenyuan became.

"The emperor's bed will not allow others to snore." Wu You said with deep eyes: "If he commits something that is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, who can protect him." ”

Wu Wenyuan looked at Wu You, relieved and sour, where he couldn't see, his child had grown to this extent...

"Dad, take care of your body, don't think too much, that day will come." Wu You put away the tools and smiled brightly, like clouds opening and raining.

"Yes, my biggest wish now is that you are all well." Wu Wenyuan also smiled with relief, and the uneasiness dissipated. His time has passed, Wu You has grown up, as long as his family is well, he has nothing else to ask for.

Near noon, Sima Kailang simply freshened up before rushing over.

"The great kindness of the prince is difficult to repay, please accept our worship." Wu Wenyuan led his family to bow his head and worship, but was supported by Sima Kailang who stepped forward.

"Uncle has seen the outside, I owe Wu You more than one life, since she risked her life to come to you, it means that you are the person she values the most, naturally, and the person I value." Sima Kailang glanced at Wu You deeply and helped Wu Wenyuan into the house.

Wu Wenyuan let go of the upper seat, but Sima Kailang did not accept it, and sat side by side with Wu You. Mrs. Wu closed the doors and windows, leaving space for the three of them.

"The fire in the General Soldier's Mansion burned more than 50 flag soldiers and more than 100 people in armor, most of whom died of some status, and the general soldiers also died, and now the sand city is a plate of scattered sand." Sima said cheerfully.

"I wonder how the prince plans to arrange it?" Wu Wenyuan asked. The current situation in Sand City has been completely cleaned, and the person who shuffles the cards is Sima Kailang.

"Before the sand city, the status was clear, the flag soldiers belonged to the top level, the armored people were attached to the flag soldiers, and Aha was at the bottom and was enslaved by the first two. Now that the banner soldiers and the armored people are greatly injured, it is naturally the best time to form a three-legged stand. Sima said cheerfully.

"Even if their vitality is greatly damaged, but the banner soldiers are well-equipped, and the armored men are powerful, and they have enslaved Aha for many years, and they have long been ingrained. In terms of momentum, we are a little shorter. "Wu Wenyuan has served here for several years, although he has some prestige, he naturally knows the importance of morale, and the Aha people have not resisted, but they have been suppressed many times and have lost their morale.

"That's why I'm here to discuss countermeasures with you, the so-called momentum is nothing more than confidence. Now that the banner soldiers have no leader, the armored people are the soldiers of various tribes, let alone unity, as long as Aha elects a leader, the cohesion will rise. Sima Kailang smiled confidently: "And I am your confidence." ”

Looking at Sima Kailang in front of him, Wu Wenyuan sighed secretly, sure enough, the blue is better than the blue, he had heard that Prince Rui was invincible, but he didn't expect his son to be the best.

"You order a few cronies to come with me to the banquet tonight, as long as your blood is still there, I will facilitate this tonight." Sima Kailang's words were full of domineering.

"I will live up to the trust of the world!" Wu Wenyuan stood up and shook his head, with excitement on his face, if he could really make peace with the flag soldiers and the armored people tonight, Aha would no longer be at the bottom, and he would be a mermaid!

"You'er, you take Shizi to rest." Wu Wenyuan looked at Sima Kai's cheerful gaze and became more and more gentle.

"Yes, father-in-law." Wu You pulled Sima Kailang's sleeve and let Wu Wenyuan think about tonight's response in the room alone.

"Well, I'm doing okay." As soon as he went out, Sima Kailang returned to his grinning face, he proudly pulled his worry-free hand, although he hadn't slept all night, his eyes were shining, as if he was begging for praise.

Wu You smiled heartily, like a new moon fainting, really charming.

Sima Kailang looked at her blankly, his eyes couldn't move as if they were sucked, and he suddenly remembered that Wu You was wearing women's clothes last night, and muttered: "How nice it would be if you were a woman..."

Wu You bit his lip and tapped his forehead: "Stupid." ”

Sima Kailang was like waking up from a dream, and said busily: "I don't dislike you for being a man... Huh... No, it doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman... Oops, what am I talking about..."

Wu You took his hand and said, "I see that you are tired and confused, take a good rest, there is still a battle to fight at night." ”

"Uh-huh, listen to you." Sima Kailang only felt that the palm of his hand was like holding a piece of nephrite, which was incredibly smooth and soft, and he returned to the house with Wu You with light steps.

The moonlight shone through the clouds on the road, and the whole sand city seemed to fall into a deep sleep, without a single light, and it was incredibly quiet, and everyone stayed at home, waiting for the outcome that would determine the fate of the future.

Tonight, a banquet was held in the only tavern in Sand City, and the hall was spotlessly clean, and the two roads of soldiers and horses that had arrived were crowded.

After the death of the general soldier, with the highest status of General Chen, acting as the main officer, General Chen Shen is over forty years old, looks thin, and has a gentle personality, and the fire last night almost scared his soul away, he did not dare to sit in the main seat, only the lower left head.

"General Chen, please take a seat, no matter what the identity of the person who came, you are now the lord of Sand City, wouldn't sitting in the guest seat like this destroy your prestige!" A big man's voice was like thunder. I saw that he was wearing leopard skin, with scars on his face, deep eyes and a wide mouth, and it was the man in armor who was holding upright. The Armoured people surrendered troops along the border, with the Tatars and Jurchens being the majority. Among them, the strongest and most ferocious are the Tatars, and Tuozheng is their leader.

"Aha people are capable this time, they were able to find someone from the capital, and I don't know what the origin is, the shelf is really big." The armor-clad man Alxa is a Jurchen head, he is long and long, not as burly as the clansmen, but he has always won with outwitting and hating the hearts of the people.

"It doesn't matter what he comes from, when he comes to our land, he has to coil if it's a dragon, and he has to lie down if it's a tiger!" Tuo Zheng sneered. He didn't say much, the area of Sand City is special, just the miasma, even if 10,000 soldiers come, 8,000 can be blocked.
