When Yan Liwu and Wen Moqing rushed to the north, the situation was similar to what they expected.

The northern border army was caught off guard by 60,000 elite soldiers of Qingyue State, and Yehaochuan relied on the familiarity of the terrain and reluctantly led the troops to maintain resistance with his soldiers like a god.

Wen Moqing claimed that he was not a carriage transporting grain and grass, and turned a blind eye to Ye Haochuan's eyes that exploded and then quickly turned into frustration, but behind Wen Moqing, the unblocked blood path that he and the Ranxue Pavilion killers fought out was enough to become the key to saving half of the border troops.

Yan Liwu did not directly participate in the battle, Wen Moqing refused to let her see such a tragic scene as soon as she came into contact with the war, even so, when Yan Liwu stepped on the blood-stained soil to reach the border barracks, he was still deeply shocked by the scene along the way.

Flesh, stumps, and the ubiquitous smell of fishy smell make it an exaggeration to call it hell.

Resisting the urge to vomit and coming to the camp, Yan Li's face turned faintly pale, and finally understood what Wen Moqing meant by "step by step" - for war and killing, she must have a process of adaptation, if she really faced the slashing scene for the first time, she might not be able to bear it with her ability to bear it.

Wen Moqing is often very careful in this kind of thing, because of this attitude, Yan Liwu is indeed free from a lot of suffering, and the same is cheaper Ye Haochuan and the entire border army - under the organization of Wen Moqing, more than 20 excellent killers in the Ranxue Pavilion opened a bloody road for the besieged border army within half a day, and through this narrow passage, Ye Haochuan was able to display his military talents, and soon transferred the remaining half of the border army of about 40,000 soldiers out of the encirclement, and minimized the loss.

After breaking out of the encirclement, the border army had to abandon the fertile military tun area and drive into the barren land, but fortunately, the Qingyue army was not familiar with the terrain of the north and did not dare to chase after it casually, but gave the border army a chance to recuperate.

"Nearly 10,000 loads of grain and grass will be transported from several surrounding cities, and this batch of grain and grass is very important, no matter what, it is necessary to ensure the safety along the road." In the temporary camp, Wen Moqing pointed to the winding mountains on the topographic map and frowned, "I don't know how to use soldiers, but I know that this kind of valley path is very suitable for sneak attacks. These 10,000 loads of grain and grass were purchased at a high price without thoughts, and it was also the limit that could be raised in a short period of time, and how to protect the last hope of the soldiers could only be handed over to General Ye. ”

Ye Haochuan was happy, and nodded again and again: "Naturally, only with grain and grass can there be combat power, this is the guarantee of the three armies, and I will arrange people to respond." The next time the prince sees Boss Jun, thank him for me, this 10,000 loads of grain and grass is really a charcoal in the snow, and it solves the urgent needs of the soldiers! ”

"Thank him for what?" Wen Mo was displeased, half of his eyebrows were raised, "This account is all on my head, and I will have to pay him back in the future." ”

Yan Liwu was studying the topographic map on the side, and when he heard Wen Moqing say this, he almost choked to death in one breath: "The debt of forty or fifty thousand taels of silver has been wiped out by you, can you still pay back so much money?" If I were the boss of Jun, I wouldn't have borrowed you, since I borrowed you, I would have been ready to fight the dog with meat buns, and you wouldn't cry poor here! ”

"What's wrong with your arm?" Wen Moqing did not refute the worries, but said in a worried voice.

Yan Liwu looked at his two arms, there was no problem, and looked back blankly, but found a flash of banter in Wen Moqing's serious face.

"Are you sure your arm is okay? Isn't it walking outward? Do I need to treat you? ”

Rolling his eyes vigorously, Yan Liwu, who had been very tired from being tossed in a hurry, gave up arguing with him - it was useless to argue, and it was a cruel fact that could not be changed in this life, and Yan Liwu had already resigned himself to fate and accepted the arrangement of fate.

This arrangement, apparently, is biased towards happiness more.

Three days later, all the grain and grass wagons arrived, and Ye Haochuan ordered the remnants of the border army to fight hard and eat a long-lost full meal. Early the next morning, the army was in a new spirit, and rushed to a small town seventy miles away, where they would meet an enemy outnumbered by 20,000 men, one desperately trying to make the way to the imperial capital, and the other to stop the enemy's invasion.

These, I won't see it when I talk about it, she has another trip with Wen Moqing.

Mountains and mountains are the best way to hide, but it takes a lot of effort to see the tents stationed on the grasslands.

"The fourth from the left, the one closest to the flag, do you see?" Wen Moqing stood on the branch of the tree, and under the tree were ten Ranxue Pavilion killers with neat hands and cold expressions. Jumping off the tree, Wen Moqing patted the dust on his palm: "Remember that camp, it is the general of the advance army of Qingyue Kingdom, killing him can delay the pace of the advance army's attack." The time is set for tonight, and they will probably set out tomorrow morning and march to the next town, so we must kill them in between. ”

"Yes." Compared with the humility and courtesy of the children of the Junzi Building, the killers of the Ranxue Pavilion are more straightforward and decisive, and they are not confined to the number of etiquette, which is very consistent with the shallow and cold style of the main pavilion.

On this night, they will infiltrate the advance military camp of the Qingyue Kingdom and assassinate the general who is the commander. Whether it will be success or failure is unpredictable, she only feels that her heart is beating hard, bang, bang, bang, as if she can't wait to jump out of her heart.

"Two hours until sunset, what are we going to do in that time?" Nervously rolling up his cuffs, he asked softly.

Wen Moqing pointed to the depths of the mountains and forests, and said succinctly: "Eat, rest, and wait for the opportunity." ”

Mountain fruits, game, grilled fish...... Yan Liwu never thought that life in the wild could be so rich and luxurious, especially when all kinds of delicacies came from Wen Moqing's hands, even those few Ranxue Pavilion killers who were always expressionless couldn't help but admire.

"I really didn't expect Wen Shaoxia to have such skills, I think Mrs. Wen's skills are better, right?" The delicious food brought the relationship between each other a lot, and the Ranxue Pavilion killer holding the grilled fish looked at Wen Moqing enviously.

Wen Moqing chewed the bay leaves, and sneered disdainfully: "It's better to eat what she did, it's better to drink the northwest wind." ”

or disappointed or ridiculed sounded, and two clouds flew up on Yan Li's worried face, and he glanced at Wen Moqing fiercely: "Can't you stop your mouth when you eat?" Do you have to belittle me to be happy? ”

"Don't belittle you, do you want everyone to like you? I'm not interested in causing trouble for myself. Throwing away a well-roasted hare leg, Wen Moqing stretched out lazily against the handsome demeanor of the young man, leaning lazily on the trunk, "After eating, they will rest and gather here before sunset." By the way, did Qianhan tell you anything before coming? ”

The ten Ranxue Pavilion killers looked at each other a few times, and then someone nodded, "Yes." The landlord instructed that no matter what happened, the protection of Miss Yan should be given priority. ”

"Protect me first?" Yan Liwu was quite surprised.

Wen Moqing didn't seem to be surprised by this answer at all, and after waving his hand to signal the people to find a place to rest, he lazily closed his eyes, but his hand naturally stretched out to Yan Li's worries. Yan Liwu gently put his hand into Wen Moqing's palm, sat side by side, and gradually relaxed.

"Growing up, the person who knows my weaknesses best is Asakun, so I haven't been able to beat him once." Wen Moqing's voice was a little tired, but also a little serious, "It's the same now, he knows that I care about you too much, so he asked them to prioritize protecting you, so as to ensure that I don't get distracted and don't leak flaws and be attacked by others." ”

"In that case, wouldn't it be better if you didn't bring me here?"

"Even if I say I'll sneak with me if I don't take you, and I don't want you to hide in the protective circle and not know anything." With one hand around his neck and his shoulder around Yan Liwu's shoulder, and the other hand pointing to the tent that was faintly visible in the cracks of the dense forest, Wen Moqing narrowed his eyes slightly, "No one can stay out of this turbulent and chaotic world, and one day we will have to face reality." You have to understand that killing is wrong, but some things cannot be ended by compassion, and if we want to keep the world safe and protect important things and people, the only choice we can have at this time is to stop killing by killing. ”

Killing to stop killing, words that sound cold and ruthless, reveal endless desolation and helplessness.

No matter how boring and numb life was at that time, at the moment of death, she was afraid and regretful, so she cherished her life more than anyone else, and wanted to live more than anyone else.

The people you love, the things you like, the vast world that you haven't had time to see, so much, so much, so many that decades of life feel too short and not enough, how can you bear to watch the war take thousands of lives? The pain is indescribable.

Because of this, Yan Liwu began to learn to think about some things, about her, about the Qinglian King.

"Mo Qing, do you remember what Lord Hosdu said when we left Hosdu?" After leaving Hostus, Yan Liwu took the initiative to mention that experience for the first time.

Wen Moqing was silent for a moment, and then shook his head: "Which sentence do you mean?" ”

"I don't remember the original words, but it probably means that Helian Mingyan is the only remaining sister of King Qinglian." Leaning lightly on Wen Moqing's shoulder, Yan Liwu automatically changed the object of that sentence to King Qinglian, "I always feel that this sentence reveals a lot of information, such as Helian Mingyan and King Qinglian are sisters, and they are not the only sisters. This reminds me of the corpse we found in the dungeon, didn't we speculate at the time, maybe it was the twin sister of the Qinglian King? It seems that this guess is correct, and the Lord of Hothus knows that the man is dead. If we follow this conclusion backwards, we can draw another conjecture-"

"The corpse of the underground palace is not the Qinglian King." Without waiting for the words to finish, Wen Moqing interrupted.

Wen Moqing's calmness made Yan Liwu a little surprised, but it was reasonable to think about it, his cleverness was undeniable, and whatever she thought of, Wen Moqing would naturally think of it. However, Yan Liwu was still a little surprised, when all speculation led to unfavorable facts, and more and more vague evidence showed that she was most likely the real Qinglian King, Wen Moqing became more and more indifferent, and even more insipid than her reaction.

His acceptance of her was far beyond expectations.

Xu saw that he was slightly distracted, and his warm and generous palm fell on his wife's eyebrows, and his cool voice had a soothing and reassuring taste.

"From the time I washed the Qinglian Palace in blood and saw the Qinglian King take his last breath, there was no such person as the Qinglian King in the world. You are you, my wife, born for me in this life, unique words and sorrows. ”
