It is said that Maitia flew back to the house and told the Xia Jun of Yizhi about sending Ye Li Yuqi and Ye Li Rongwan's head, and after hearing this, Yi Zhi didn't feel a chill down his spine, and said sadly: "I killed them...... It's horrible......"

Maitya sneered, held Yizhi's arm, and said: "Look at it, not to mention the battlefield, even in Bianjing City, that rich and prosperous place, many people die every day in open and secret battles. ”

Remembering the heart palpitated, smiled and nodded, unconsciously spread his hands again, looking at the palm of his hand in a daze. She stared at it for a long time, cheered up, and said, "Maitia, let's go to Zhongcheng to say goodbye, maybe we can ask for some reward, for you, I will add a new dress for spring." ”

Maitia smiled and nodded.

The two went to the government hall, and they were about to say hello with a happy face, but when they saw that everyone in the room was sad, they were forced to stop, and they were puzzled for a while, and asked: "It should be a happy time, what is going on?" ”

Zhong Shiheng was silent for a long time and said, "Master Yan, he ...... Fortunately, this time is still in Yanzhou, you hurry up, maybe you can see him for the last time. ”

Remembering as if there was a scorching thunder above his head, he didn't feel that he fell to his feet, Matia hurriedly hugged him, Memories was stunned for a long time, turned around and went out, Matia followed. Zhong Shiheng said to Zhong Yuhe: "You escort her, don't go wrong again!" ”

Zhong Yuhe hurriedly took the order and chased away.

Everyone rode their horses all the way to Yanzhou, and even when night fell, they rested in the forest for a while.

Zhong Yuhe didn't say a word when he saw Yiyi, but he was stunned, and he didn't feel very worried, so he glanced at Maitia, hoping that she could comfort one or two, Maitia understood, she stared at Yizhi, and was thinking about what she could say, but suddenly, she only heard the rustling of leaves, and everyone was on guard. I heard someone chirping and talking.

Zhong Yuhe leaned short and tiptoed to the place where he was still to listen.

When the memory was gone, he suddenly heard the word "vulture", and he was stunned, and he also went to Zhong Yuhe's side lightly, pushed aside the bushes, and saw that it was Zhang Yuan and his personal entourage, and only listened to his report: "Yesterday morning, Han Yuqi and the deputy envoys of the left and right compartments came to Rouyuan Village, which is seventy miles away from Baibao City, in the name of inspecting the border defense, and summoned the military leaders of the local villages, as well as the local Qiang tribal leaders. According to our secret report from the pile, he suddenly announced the news that Ye Li Yuqi, who was stationed in White Leopard City, had been beheaded during the banquet, and he was about to attack White Leopard City, and he had already made military arrangements to block the exit of Rouyuan Village to prevent leakage. When the vultures got the news, they immediately led their troops to help. ”

When I heard this, I didn't feel my heart tremble.

After Zhang Yuan heard this, he was speechless for a long time, and after a long time, he said, "Let's go." ”

The attendant asked, "Mr. Zhang, where are you going?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Yanzhou, the vultures asked me to negotiate peace, have you forgotten." ”

The entourage said: "But the battle of White Leopard City has not yet been ......."

Zhang Yuan said: "That's a matter of the vultures, I just do my best." The entourage didn't say anything, and only followed Zhang Yuan away.

After the two of them walked away, Yizhi said to Zhong Yuhe: "Zhong Dianzhi, please go to Yanzhou quickly, tell Fan Daguan the news, and ask for help." ”

Zhong Yuhe asked, "What about you?" ”

Memories of the way: "I'm going to save my second brother." "Then let's go and get on the horse.

Zhong Yuhe held her arm and said, "You said the opposite, you should go to Yanzhou, and I will go to White Leopard City." ”

Yizhi was silent for a long time, his eyes were slightly red, and he looked directly at Zhong Yuhe, and said: "You go to White Leopard City just to send you to death, I go, maybe there is a glimmer of life." ”

Zhong Yuhe understood, and said: "Your father is waiting for you in Yanzhou, but he is terminally ill but refuses to leave, what is it for?" ”

The way of remembrance: "That's what you don't understand, we have been trained in my father's Qingming Courtyard since we were children, the country before the family, and others before ourselves." If he knew that I was going to ...... him one last time," she paused, and then said, "Don't say anything more, so leave it at that." Then he got on his horse, and Mattia followed, and got on his horse.

Zhong Yuhe persuaded him again, but he had already made up his mind to go, so he had to go with her.

It is said that Yuan Hao led a large army to aid the White Leopard City, and when he arrived, it was already full of scorched earth, and the forty-one party tents were broken one by one, and within 20 kilometers around the city, the fertile soil full of seedlings was burned out. He beat his horse and galloped, and he could see in the distance that the city he had built was in flames, and there was a sea of corpses and blood on the loess.

Suddenly, a feathered arrow flew in, and he swung his head, barely dodging, and said vigilantly: "Beware of an ambush!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the feather arrows shot over like a torrential rain.

In this vast yellow earth, the Western Xia army had nowhere to hide, the cavalry fell one after another, and the infantry fell in response. Yuan Hao ordered the shield to block, and immediately, the shield soldiers lined up. After the dark bow ambushed the crossbow, the Song army shouted in all directions to ambush them. The two armies fought under the White Leopard City, the flags circled, the battle clothes were flying, and the shouts were pushed to the sky.

Although the Western Xia army was ambushed, it was strong and numerous. The Song army lacked stamina and became more and more struggling.

Yuan Hao saw Han Yuqi fighting in the crowd at a glance, sneered, held a cone gun, rode his horse and galloped away, and went to fight him. Yuan Hao was fierce and fierce, Han Yuqi could only hold on, counterattack without gaps, and was shocked and injured, with blood in his mouth.

In the latter round of fighting, Han Yuqi was defeated and retreated, seeing that the Song army was defeated by the Xia army, he shouted and retreated, and the Song army retreated to the White Leopard City one after another. Han Yuqi staggered and barely got on the horse, but halfway through the ride, he fell off the horse.

Yuan Hao was full of fighting spirit, shouting and pursuing, and the Xia army fell off the horse of the Song army, and in an instant, the blood and qi surged, shouting and swarming up.

Suddenly, an arrow flickered, Yuan Hao heard the sound of the wind to identify the place, blocked it with a spear, and looked at it again, only to see that on the high slope, there was a person standing in the wind, he went to the bag with his left hand to take the bow, and his right hand pulled out the arrow in the hub. He mounted his arrows, dragged his bow, and looked at the figure on the high slope, but suddenly saw the man pull off the hairpin on his head, and throw off his long black and thick hair, which flew in the west wind.

Yuan Hao was surprised, and when he was about to look at it again, he only heard the man shouting Li Ping from afar, and he was shocked for a moment. He lowered his bow and arrows, and galloped his horse down the high slopes.

Seeing this, Sunur was suddenly startled and roared angrily: "Be careful of an ambush!" Before the words fell, Yuan Hao had already run away with only a black shadow left, and Sunur didn't feel angry, and hurriedly chased after the horse.

The two broke away from the attacking Western Xia army and ran towards the high slope.

The person on the high slope is Yi Zhi Ye, she faced the wind, endured the soreness of her heart up and down, she saw that the Song army was invincible, and wanted to attract Yuan Hao's attention and delay time. Seeing the slope again, Maitia rode a horse to save Han Yuqi, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Yuan Hao getting closer and closer, he was about to get on his horse, when there was a sudden bombardment, which was deafening, and he bowed his body unconsciously, covered his ears, and the rolling waves of air wrapped in yellow sand surged and pounced on him.

Just when he was stunned, Yuan Hao pressed Yizhi to the ground, and the stone and gravel raindrops generally hit his back.

The earth-shattering bombardment came one after another, and the attacking Western Xia army reveled wantonly.

Only then did he realize that the thunderbolt cannons had already been buried in the soil, and dozens of seven-tip cannons had been ambushed, shooting flint bombs and throwing them at the Western Xia army. She didn't know what to do, and she was stunned.

When Yuan Hao shouted at Sunur to retreat, Sunur was staring at Yizhi, he listened to the cheers, suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly turned his horse's head, and commanded the remnants of the cavalry, the infantry to retreat, and the artillery carriages and shield soldiers to counterattack in formation.

Yuan Hao wanted to pull Yi Yi away with him, but Yi Zhiqing grabbed his arm, held it still, looked at him with both eyes, his thoughts were confused for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

Yuan Hao trembled slightly, his eyes full of disbelief, and asked, "Are you still alive?" Why are you still alive? ”

Yizhi stayed for a long time, rode a donkey downhill, and said: "I don't know, an unborn monk saved me, in short, I survived...... I went to see him the other day, but I heard that he was imprisoned by you. ”

Yuan Hao was stunned for a moment, thinking of the fat monk who was wailing in the dry well and forgetting to recite, and became more and more depressed.

I heard another explosion that shook the heavens and the earth.

Yuan Hao fell down according to Yizhi, the sand and stones splashed, Yuan Hao pulled Yizhi again, and said, "Leave this place first." ”

Yi Zhi grabbed his hand and said: "Unless Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty negotiate peace." She paused and said, "Otherwise, you and I will be enemies." ”

Yuan Hao pointed to the battlefield and scolded: "Then why do you want to save me again!" If it weren't for you, I would have died in this yellow earth! That's it, you Song people have a matter on their minds. ”

I didn't want to save you...... But for a while, looking at Yuan Hao, I was glad again. She stared at him for a long time, thinking that she hadn't seen him for a month or two, that he was unkempt, his beard was unkempt, and he became more and more wild and rough, which unconsciously caused deep thought, and shook his head in a moment, came back to his senses, and said, "Because I'm stupid...... Not only stupid, but also self-righteous. ”

Her words, in Yuan Hao's ears, understood another deep meaning, and he smiled: "Interesting." He stepped back and said, "Okay, I see." With that, he got into the saddle, took a deep look at his memory, rode his horse back to the battlefield, and led the Western Xia army to retreat.

Although this battle failed to annihilate Yuan Hao, it severely damaged Yuan Hao's personal guards, and the Song army won a complete victory, and they all rejoiced.

Yizhi pulled up his long hair, returned to White Leopard City in the saddle, and rushed all the way into the city.

Maitia was already waiting in the doorway, answering her to go in to see Han Yuqi.

Seeing Han Yuqi sitting on a high seat, it was clearly not the rout he had just now, and he was pretending to be pretending to lead Xia Jun into the urn, and he didn't feel angry.

Han Yuqi recognized Yizhi at a glance, his eyes lit up, he got up to greet him, Yizhi rushed over, slapped him on the left chest head-on, and scolded: "Lure the enemy with your body, in order to kill the famous Yuanhao, you are very fearless!" ”

Han Yuqi and Yuan Hao fought head-on, both of them were injured, and they slammed their fists, and suddenly let out a violent cough, coughing straight to the ground with swollen muscles and muscles, searching the liver and digging out the lungs, and his face was red and messy.

Yi was shocked, and hurriedly went to help him. She caught a glimpse of Shi Jie beside him, and felt even more fueled, and scolded him again: "Since you are by his side, he is doing stupid things, why don't you persuade him?" ”

When Shi Jie saw Yizhi, his whole body trembled slightly, and when his eyes were full of tears, he first saw Yizhi punch Han Yuqi, and then turned to scold himself, his shape was fierce, and he didn't have the appearance of a delicate lady in Bianjing's house, he had no idea for a while, and said: "Where did I not persuade him, what kind of temperament is he, don't you know, if he makes up his mind, who will listen?" ”

I have to say more, I was held by Han Yuqi for a while, and I only heard him say: "In the first battle of White Leopard City, we killed seven leaders of the Xia army and more than 250 soldiers, and the rest of the troops broke through 41 party tents, burned crops within 20 kilometers around the city, and collected more than 7,000 heads of livestock.

In the next battle, he ambushed Wei Mingyuan's personal guards, at least he damaged nearly half of his troops! The Western Xia Army is nothing more than that, we can win, we will definitely win! ”

clenched Yizhi's arm again and said, "From now on, you don't have to be wronged!" He glanced at Shi Jie again, and said firmly: "We have the ability to protect you!" ”

Seeing Maitia nodding at herself, she guessed that she had been reporting her news to the two of them, and she was ashamed and ashamed for a while, and her face was hot and stinging. When I heard the words of the two to protect myself, I was moved and grateful, and my eyes were red and full of emotions, but I didn't know what to say.

After a long time, I suddenly thought of it and said, "Come back to Yanzhou, father ......" She paused with red eyes and said, "I heard that Yan Daguan is seriously ill and dying......

Han Yuqi and Shi Jie were suddenly startled, and suddenly their eyes opened, and the three of them hurriedly set off, and rushed to Yanzhou day and night.

Even in Yanzhou, Yizhi changed into the boy's cloth clothes, followed behind Han Yuqi and Shi Jie, and went to Yan Shu's temporary residence.

Officials of all sizes in Yanzhou and even nearby heard the news, and rushed to the small courtyard to welcome wave after wave of officials, and occasionally saw one or two adults who had a relationship, Yizhi buried his head, and hid behind Shi Jie and Han Yuqi, not daring to publicize it.

In Yan Shu's hall, there were two wings of medical officers, some old and some young, surrounded by an old lady, he said a word, and everyone echoed a word. Yi Zhi became more and more anxious, and when he entered the bedroom again, on the pestle next to the bed on Fan Zhongyan's left, Fan Chunren stood at the bottom, and there were several adults who had never seen before.

When everyone saw Han Yuqi and Shi Jie, they hurriedly greeted them.

Yizhi wanted to go in but didn't dare to go in, so he could only stay under the eaves of the porch and wait. Suddenly, I saw Mrs. Fan and Wan Niang, who were waiting for a treat to be treated with tea and snacks, so they shrank to the back of the crowd and lowered their faces.

When it arrived, the people were scattered, and only a few people were left on duty at night, so Shi Jie found an excuse and called Yizhi into the house.

Yi Yi saw Yan Shu on the couch, and suddenly shed two lines of tears, and called Daddy a few times, Yan Shu opened his eyes slightly, he looked at Yi Zhi for a long time, and his eyelids and lips moved slightly. Remembering that he wanted to speak, the words were in his throat, but he was choked and couldn't stop crying.

Shi Jie couldn't bear to look directly with red eyes, so he turned his face sideways.

Han Yuqi accompanied Yizhi and told Yan Shu how the battle of White Leopard City was a great victory, but when he saw his eyes drifting away, just hanging in one breath, he didn't feel like a thousand arrows in his heart, he choked up, and said: "Master, Yizhi is back, you don't have to go again, don't worry, she is our own sister, we must cherish her, protect her, and take good care of her!" ”

Yan Shu's fingers trembled slightly, and the three of them didn't understand what he meant, so they all came to him.

Yan Shu whimpered softly, the three of them became more and more puzzled, Yan Shu's lips moved again, Yi Zhi hurriedly stopped crying, leaned forward to listen, listened quietly for a long time, and only identified a gray word.

Puzzled, he asked, "What does the father mean by this, the daughter doesn't understand......"

Yan Shu looked at Yizhi with both eyes, his palms trembled slightly, and Yizhi hurriedly held his hand, only to feel that he touched a piece of dead wood.

When Fan Zhongyan came to visit the house again, Yizhi hurriedly got up to avoid it, Fan Zhongyan stopped: "I recognized you in the afternoon, but I didn't say it, your father has only worked hard for the past two days, and I will take care of things outside, you just have to guard in front of you." ”
