Chapter 57: Fate

A series of heavy muffled sounds landed one after another, and Hebei Liancheng finally removed the last shackles from his shoulders.

He heard a dull thud, and a sharp and shiny red-tasseled spear was already stuck diagonally into the ground in front of him.

The body of the spear still vibrated incessantly, but Hebei Liancheng had already stretched out his hand to hold the body of the spear, and the violent tremors on the spear had not stopped, as if it had spread through the palm of his hand all over his body, and even his soul trembled.

Die to fight, fight to die.

He knew it was a duel to the death, but he had to die on the battlefield.

He was a warrior first and a patriarch second.

As a patriarch, he can collaborate with the enemy and commit treason for his own selfish desires, but as a warrior, only dying in battle is his only destination and final dignity.

"Thank you, Lord!"

Hebei shouted loudly, and before the shout landed, the spear in his hand had already torn through the air, setting off a domineering momentum, breaking through all obstacles, and rushing towards the face of the punishment without hesitation.

The torture eyes flickered, and his mind suddenly became a little trance-like, as if he had returned to the days of those iron cavalry battles many years ago.

Hebei Liancheng was not the first person to follow him, but he was undoubtedly the sharpest gun under his command, otherwise he would not have handed over such an important place of Hebei to Hebei Liancheng.

Hebei Liancheng lived up to his trust.

However, the greatest sorrow of Hebei Liancheng's life is not that he was instigated by others to embark on the dead end of collaborating with the enemy and treason, but that he never really understood his trust and hard work, but regarded Hebei's hardships and harshness as contempt and exile.

Perhaps he was wrong, believing that a good warrior would be able to become a patriarch who could do his job.

But it turns out that galloping on the battlefield and taking on great responsibilities are two unrelated things, and Hebei Liancheng has proved this countless times over the years.

It proves that he is not a competent patriarch, that he has no ability to lead a side at all, and that he has been building up resentment and resentment for many years.

But he chose to ignore and tolerate again and again, and chose to let his old feelings blind him.

Until he went to the battlefield again today, he finally woke up to the fact that he could not escape the blame for the reason why Hebei Liancheng had today's fate.

But it was too late.

Only the dust and smoke flying in the sky magnificently lamented the fate of Hebei Liancheng.

When the swords and guns met and the earth was shaken, a crimson shadow suddenly stabbed his eyes, bringing up a blood line that splashed three feet, and the red tassel spear that was originally vigorous and powerful in all directions suddenly lost its follow-up power, only the crimson spear tassel was still floating with the wind without stopping.

"Hebei Liancheng is unforgivable for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and now he is dead and ambushed, and his head is hung outside the Yiri tent for three days to show the world. Three days later, his head was buried in his entirety, and his crime was not as good as that of others, and the matter was not reconsidered. ”

As soon as the words fell, the crimson robe had drifted away, leaving only the burly and tall but somewhat rickety figure in the field, standing still and silent.

"Lord, Hebei Liancheng's head has been hung out, but there has been no movement at the end of Sangyu."

"What do you want? Assemble an army and attack immediately? ”

"Of course not... But I thought ... ”

"Why?"

“。。。 Didn't the Lord choose to execute Hebei Liancheng at this time just to attack Sang Yu Yunhuan and revive the morale of our army? But there was silence on Sangyu's side, and there seemed to be no reaction. ”

"You're still too tender."

Xing raised his eyebrows, glanced at Hushan lightly, and dropped such a headless and brainless sentence, which made the second monk of Hushan puzzled.

"I'll explain to you later, go and tell Yi Rihui first, I'll give him an hour, and immediately gather the left wing and the center wing to converge on the side of the Youtu Realm, and the movements must not only be fast but also quiet, avoid all eyeliners, and never let the Zhenbei Army notice any movement."

Hu Shan's expression was grim, knowing that the punishment had already laid out the battle situation, and the war was about to start.

"Command!"

Hu Shan responded loudly, and couldn't wait to go out, but was stopped by torture.

"Wait."

Hu Shan paused and looked back questioningly, but for some reason he hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"Call Si Yan too."

You have to call that woman for such a big thing?!

Hu Shan almost shouted subconsciously, but before the words came out, he received the eyes of the torture to shut him up, and he had to reluctantly swallow back the resentment and bitterness in his stomach.

Fortunately, when he went to find Si Yan, Si Yan didn't say anything, just looked at him ignorantly, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Hu Shan himself sent it to the door to beg for something boring and had no intention of saying anything more, he wanted to get as far away from this woman as possible, but he couldn't rest assured.

The Lord and the woman disappeared silently for a night, and when they returned, they looked solemn, but said nothing about the experience of that night or the place they went.

Fortunately, in addition to this, Xing's attitude towards Si Yan didn't seem to have changed, perhaps because Xing no longer had any extra time and thoughts to entangle with that woman since that night.

The strange thing is that Si Yan has never taken the initiative to find a punishment or cause any commotion, but she is stuffed in the tent with Haoyu and Qi Zhen every day, and she really has a bit of a posture of helping.

Although Si Yan didn't agree, when he and Xing rushed to the Youtu Realm together, Si Yan was already waiting there, but Yi Rihui was not as calm as Hu Shan.

"The war is about to start and it is such a big event, dare to ask why the Lord brought this woman here?"

Yi Rihui glanced at Si Yan, who was silent on the side, with an unkind face, but Si Yan replied with a cold and contemptuous gaze.

"If he hadn't invited me to come, do you think I'd be willing to come?"

"In that case, let the girl be light! My Yi Ribu temple is small, and I can't accommodate the big Buddha of the girl, so I asked the girl to go back where she came, and I won't send it! ”

Yi Rihui waved his hand, and couldn't wait to put on a posture of sending off the guest, and glanced at him angrily, knowing that he still remembered the big trouble when Si Yan came that day.

"She stays, you go."

“。。。 What the?! ”

"She stays, you go."

"How's that going to work?!"

As soon as the sentence came out, Yi Rihui was stunned for a long time, and thought that he was deaf for a while and heard something wrong, so he had to repeat it again, and Yi Rihui reacted and immediately screamed in shock.

"What's your idea?"

Si Yan sneered, but Yi Rihui shouted angrily.

"Lord, what do you mean by that? Could it be that he dislikes me Yi Rihui is incompetent and wants to help this woman? ”

"It's been a long time! You still have those trivial things in mind, I let you go first because there are other arrangements, and it is natural for me to let her stay. ”

The torture tone stopped Yi Rihui's question, Yi Rihui held back his throat in one breath, and had to glance at Si Yan angrily, and with a flick of his long sleeves, he turned over and stepped on the horse and walked away.

"Keep up with him, don't let him make any trouble."

Xing looked at Yi Rihui's back as he left angrily, and had a headache for a while, but he didn't have time to explain more to him, so he had to turn his head and tell Hu Da to follow first.

"You left your right-hand man in anger, but left me here, don't you want me to lead troops to fight for you?"

Si Yan looked at everything in front of her coldly, and didn't ask until Yi Rihui and Hu Da's backs disappeared one after another.

"Exactly."

Si Yan's question was originally just a slightly sarcastic casual question, but the punishment answer was a little unexpected.

"What?"

"Hushan is a general, leading the left wing and the middle wing of the two armies to guard the two divisions of Ganqi and Tuoba, and the two divisions of Ganqi and Tuoba are related to the lifeline of our northern country, and they must not be lost."

"What does that have to do with me? I distinctly remember that you asked me to come back just to help Di Hao. ”

"I know, so I now make a solemn plea with you, that you will go with him and help him."

"Why?"

"Lord, if you think that the real purpose of the Zhenbei Army is to dry Qi and Tuoba, then I can lead the left and middle wings to defend the town, why do you have to ask Miss Si Yan to go with me?"

Si Yan and Hu Shan both looked at Xing with questioning eyes, and they really couldn't figure out why he made such an arrangement, so Xing was silent for a long time before replying in a low voice.

"If my guess is correct, I am afraid that the one who led the army to attack Ganqi and Tuoba this time is an old man. With your ability, you can't fight against this old man at all, only Si Yan... ”

The words of torture paused at this point, Si Yan didn't understand it for a while, and subconsciously thought that the old man in his mouth should be the emperor's death, but after thinking about it, if it was really the emperor's death, how different could it be between letting her go and letting Amber Mountain go, she couldn't stop the emperor's death.

“。。。 The person you want me to fight against is the law? ”

Si Yan thought about it for a long time, and finally reacted, and when she really spit out the name, her tone was astringent.

The old people who have been with each other for thousands of years but have not seen each other for many years have become enemies fighting their own battles when they meet again.

It's really a mixture of feelings.

Xing heard the hesitation and emotion in her words, and stopped saying more for a while, only as a tacit acquiescence.

Si Yan was silent for a long time, but when she spoke again, even she was suddenly stunned and dull.

"Why should I help you? It's just that you want me to help Di Hao, after all, it's about the survival of the emperor's vein, but now you want me to meet with the law field, don't you think it's too much? ”

"I have already said a long time ago, this is my request, if you insist on refusing, I can't force it, but now that he has stood on the side of the emperor, if the emperor succeeds this time, then don't say it is the emperor, it is you and me, and even the entire god realm will face what kind of catastrophe?"

Xing's tone was smooth and firm, but it seemed to hide great sorrow and disappointment, Si Yanliang was speechless for a long time, and the layered and lightly dancing black veil was particularly conspicuous in the yellow sand, but this time, even Xing couldn't see any emotion in her lowered eyes.

The three people who used to play and drink against each other in the past have come to the point where they are now, and what is the situation he wants to see.

However, everyone has obsessions, and the fate born of obsessions is like a cage from which no one can be freed.
