Chapter 122: Before That Day (Part I)
After all, he had been in Yanmen for a while, and that period of time was the low point of his life, and it was one of the most unforgettable times, so when he saw Yanmen Pass again, he had a lot of thoughts.
Under the Yanmen Pass, there have been countless enemies in different eras flocking here, and there are also many dynasties of soldiers who shed blood here, until today, the Yanmen is still there, but it has been constantly repaired and changed.
It was getting darker and darker, and it was not a very wise decision to run away from Wangshan and rush over there, Wang Du's decision was to camp and rest now to prepare for the next day's physical strength.
Here, Wang Du's qualifications are the oldest, and his words are orders, no matter how subtle.
In these cold nights, Guan Kuo is undoubtedly a little lonely, Lin Hai and they are all brothers in life and death, and they are also generals with ranks, they talk and laugh with each other, but he is the only one who is not familiar with others, and even the opposite, and he is just an ordinary soldier of the Northern Tang Dynasty.
Along the way, he was destined to be speechless.
It's just that in the evening, looking at the faint sunset on the horizon, he still smiles.
The most important thing for a person is not that he is always happy about what he has experienced, but that he is always happy in his heart.
Thinking of this, he entered his tent alone, ready to rest early.
The winter nights outside the gate were really cold, and the strong wind blew through the tents, making a creepy sound.
Outside of the wind, Siye was very quiet, probably because of the vigilance of his military career, which kept those in high positions silent at night.
Wuji and many other horses were close to each other to protect themselves from the cold wind, and although there was nothing to shelter them, they were not afraid of these as they were accustomed to sleeping in the open.
Other than that, there are no human beings.
It wasn't until the darkness of the night that a deeper shadow appeared, and there were subtle, imperceptible footsteps.
In the hands of the black shadow, something shimmered with a cold glow.
He looked up at the invisible night in the distance, and thought: Tomorrow will enter the Yanmen, and tonight, it will be the last time outside the gate, after tomorrow, it will be more difficult to do something, and that is also the last chance.
In fact, he was a little dismissive of what he wanted to do, but he had to carry it out, because it was an order, and the reason why he still had to be so vigilant and careful about what he disdained was because after that thing happened, there would be a big wave.
He silently approached a tent without being noticed by any creature, and then, softly, lifted the tent door and lifted the thing in his hand in a certain direction.
It was a Taipei-Tang crossbow, and it was pitch black in the tent, and no one knew how he determined his target.
He pulled the crossbow machine.
……
……
Let's turn back the clock and see what happened a few days ago.
It was the same night, but it was not quiet, it was in the camp of the Northern Tang Dynasty, there were stars and fires everywhere, looking down in the air, like a starry sky.
It's a piece of brilliance, just like that splendid Tang Dynasty.
The tent was large, but it was simply furnished, because the old man liked simplicity.
Although there was no one else in the tent, the old man kept smiling, as if he had seen something that made him feel warm.
In fact, many times, a smile represents a bright heart, but it is smiling all the time, and that person's heart may be darker, which is a smiling tiger.
A tall and mighty figure appeared outside the tent door and strode in.
"I've seen General Guanying." The stout young general clenched his fists and saluted.
"Huang Haitian, we have only met once, but that time, we have talked for a long time, and I also know that you have always been my protégé, although I have never admitted it, because I think that such an excellent young man as you will definitely not be taught by an old man in a few words." General Guan Ying had a smile on his face.
"The influence of some important words can extend a person's life."
The sturdy young man known as Huang Haitian bowed his head, expressing his full respect for General Guanying.
General Guanying groaned slightly, looking at the firelight in the big tent, a little distracted.
Although this period of time was very short, Huang Haitian was still a little surprised, he had never thought that anything would make such a patriarch of the two dynasties have such a distracted expression.
"Can you guess what the old man is doing when he asked you to come over?" Just when Huang Haitian was a little cranky, General Guanying suddenly asked again.
Huang Haitian shook his head.
"Guess what."
"Want to talk to Haitian? But even if it were, it should be more than that. ”
"That's not right."
"You want me to convey some information to His Royal Highness the King of Jin that is inconvenient for the old general to convey?"
"Not really."
Huang Haitian smiled and shook his head.
"The old general's heart is about the Tang Dynasty, it is too vast, Haitian may not be able to guess it."
General Guan Ying restrained his smile, raised his eyes, and gestured to the tent door.
When Huang Haitian saw the other party's expression, his heart instantly froze, and he turned around a few steps and closed the door of the tent.
He knew that what General Guanying was going to talk about next would not only be to himself, but also extremely important and not to be known.
"Haitian, you say, why would the old man want to believe a young man like you who has only met once?"
The wrinkles on General Guanying's face flickered in light and shadow, and the outline was slightly blurred.
"Could it be that I'm getting older, so I'm going to be old and confused?" He asked again.
Huang Haitian thought about it and was deeply shocked by General Guanying's sudden words, but he still said with a firm expression: "Trust doesn't need a reason, Haitian is willing to repay the old general's trust with his life." ”
General Guan Ying paused for a short time and his smile bloomed again, this time it was completely different from the previous smile, but a very hearty smile.
"With your words, I am relieved, in this army, there are many young people who get along with me day and night, and there are also many children and nephews of old friends, but I chose you, probably because the old man thinks that he has seen you clearly, and you will be worthy of my trust."
Huang Haitian waited silently, did not interject, today General Guanying said so much to him, he was very moved, and at the same time deeply impressed by the temperament of the old general, he is willing to do everything for this old man who has paid too much for Datang, even if it is life, because he is ready to die on this battlefield and serve Datang, in this case, General Guanying asked him to do something because of Datang, why not?
