Chapter 158: Each Way Forward
"So this person is so interesting!" Wei Xiao's eyes flashed, and he high-fived: "Even Wei Xiao wants to see him!"
"We'll see. Bai Qianyu smiled slightly and looked at him: "Heroes and heroes, sooner or later, they can meet!"
"Okay!" Wei Xiao nodded with a smile, but suddenly his eyes moved, looking at Bai Qianyu: "But Qianyu, how do you know so many secrets, Dayue Murong Chui, Dugu Xin in the clouds ......?"
"What ...... we" Bai Qianyu couldn't bear to deceive him: "Everything has its own providence...... When the time comes, everything will be revealed," she looked into Wei Xiao's eyes: "But now, please don't ask me, okay, Wei Xiao?"
Wei Xiao looked at her, her dark blue eyes became deep, and after a long time, Fang said, "Okay, I won't ask." ”
Bai Qianyu breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really afraid that he would ask her, if Wei Xiao asked her, she might not be able to help but tell everything and everything, but no one knew what would happen at that time.
She walked over, took Wei Xiao's hand, and pulled him out of the tent, but saw a round of crescent moon, hanging alone in the sky, looming among the clouds.
"Wei Xiao, look, how good the moonlight is tonight," Bai Qianyu pointed to the bright moon above his head, and the two of them raised their heads at the same time to look at the distance, only to hear Bai Qianyu say faintly: "Even if we are separated and in two places, as long as we look up, we can see the same bright moon," she turned her head, her bright eyes glowed, and looked at Wei Xiao: "Did you say yes?"
Wei Xiao clenched her hand: "Qianyu, I only hope that in the future, I can enjoy this bright moon with you night and night, let it be cloudy and sunny, but we will never be separated." ”
His eyes were as clear as water, and he looked at her without blinking, like the moonlight in the sky.
Bai Qianyu's heart fluttered, and he hurriedly lowered his head, avoided his gaze, and said, "I want to ask you to teach me to play a flute, okay?"
Wei Xiao was stunned: "I haven't blown it for a long time, but I'm rusty." "Take out a nine-turn jasper flute from the spirit ruins, the color is like green bamboo, verdant and round, and the flute body exudes a warm green luster.
Wei Xiao first put the nine-turn jasper flute to her lips, played it, and then handed it to Bai Qianyu, taught her to press the flute with both hands, and said, "This way, this way...... Press this hole...... Pay attention to press your fingers tightly when pressing, and leave a damper between the upper and lower lips when blowing. ”
As he spoke, he grabbed Bai Qianyu's hand and pointed at her, the two of them were very close to each other, and they could almost feel each other's warm breathing.
Bai Qianyu was finally able to blow a tune completely, and turned back excitedly: "Am I right to do this?" She turned her face, almost touching Wei Xiao's face, and the two of them hurriedly separated as if they had been electrocuted.
After a long time, Wei Xiaofang coughed low and said, "Qianyu, when are you leaving?"
Bai Qianyu said "um" and said, "Without further ado, I'll set off tonight." ”
The two of them didn't look at each other, after Bai Qianyu said this, he quickly turned around, almost ran back to the camp tent as if he was running away, and dragged the clover out of the scroll in the corner, Shamrock was sleeping with a book, and his saliva was dripping onto the album of the book, and he was dragged awake by Bai Qianyu, and said in a daze: "Where are you going? ”
Its stems and leaves were still hanging lazily, and it didn't look like it was going to get up.
"Go to Chaisang, there is good food. Bai Qianyu said.
As soon as Shamrock heard the word "delicious", it was as if someone had poured a scoop of cold water on her head, and she immediately came to her senses: "Where is the delicious? Where is the delicious?"
Its eyes widened as it looked around the tent.
Bai Qianyu couldn't cry or laugh.
"In Chaisang," Bai Qianyu walked over and pulled it up: "There is a general there, every day brocade clothes and delicacies, silk and bamboo singing and dancing, we will definitely be generously entertained when we get there!"
"Really?" Clover believed it, and walked out with Bai Qianyu without saying a word: "Then can I ask to give me the clearest ice spring water on the mountain to drink every day?"
"Yes. ”
"Then can I ask to soak in the bath every day and have the beautiful woman bring me delicious food?"
"Yes. ”
"Then I can ......"
Without waiting for Shamrock to finish speaking, Wei Xiao had already walked over and called in a low voice: "Qianyu ......"
Bai Qianyu turned his head and saw that in front of the tent door, Wei Xiao's clothes were flickering, and there seemed to be a layer of frost on the iron armor, rustling, his eyes looked at her, as if he had a thousand words, but he didn't know where to speak.
A string of lanterns on the flagpole of the camp was blown high by the wind, pulled by the thread, and fell back.
"Qianyu ......" Wei Xiao called again, took two steps closer, but didn't get too close, just said: "You...... Be careful along the way!"
"Hmm...... I know. Bai Qianyu turned around to look at him, the two armies clashed, and they had to go their separate ways, and the worries and worries in each other's hearts were blocked in their hearts for a while, making their chests congested.
After a long time, Bai Qianyu said: "The river is empty, beware of scouts." ”
Eight simple words seem to contain too much care!
Wei Xiao nodded and said, "Dugu believes that this person is unpredictable, if he can come, he will come, if he can't come, you don't stay for a long time, return quickly!"
"Hmm. Bai Qianyu also nodded.
It's all in plain sight!
Outside the tent, the general Xu Yanda had already prepared his horses and waited at the entrance of the camp.
Bai Qianyu took the clover, turned over on the horse, and took one last look at Wei Xiao, only to see his figure, together with the camp tent and the red lights flying in front of the tent, getting farther and farther away in the night.
Until his figure was no longer visible in the night, Bai Qianyu turned around, ruthlessly, drove the horse, urged the horse to gallop, and galloped towards the southeast with Xu Yanda.
After Bai Qianyu and Clover and Xu Yanda left, Wei Xiaofang turned back to the camp, and sent the generals Fu Huang and Bo Jian, so that he led the two of them to lead a team of 10,000 people, and planted the military flags of the Tiance Army behind Qingping Mountain, beating drums and shouting from time to time, practicing the army, and at the same time leading about 50,000 people, setting off at night, traveling three hundred miles east along the Wuding River, reaching the upper reaches of the Wuding River, coinciding with the dry season, the river is not too urgent, and there are already dozens of flat-bottomed boats rowed by the local soldiers of the Phantom Clan waiting there, carrying 50,000 horses across the river.
At dawn the next day, Wei Xiao took advantage of the cover of the water and grass on the river bank to go down the river, and saw that the army of Yechen on the north bank was spread along the river, lined for dozens of miles, the spears flashed, and the flag was hunting, which was very spectacular.
Over there, Yechen listened to the drums behind Qingping Mountain, and sneered: "Wei Xiao has crossed the river!"
Ye Yu exclaimed: "Our army scout Fang has been to investigate, and the camp of 50,000 troops there has not moved, and the generals Fu Huang and Bo Jian drill the soldiers and horses every day, beat drums and cheer, and the army is clearly still in Jiangbei!"
Ye Chen sneered: "If the army is in Jiangbei, they want to train soldiers and horses quietly, hide people's ears and ears, and secretly lay out the route, how can they let me and others know?
Ye Yu said: "Our army sent four teams of scouts every day, and they visited again and again in the morning, noon and evening, only Fu Huang and General Bo Jian came and went, and Wei Xiao never showed up, thinking that he was seriously injured and did not come out?"
"The army must have crossed the river. Ye Chen's eyes narrowed slightly: "Wei Xiao really pretended to be lying in the camp because he was seriously injured by an arrow, but in fact, he repaired the plank road and secretly crossed Chencang, this trick can deceive others, but it is difficult to deceive me!" His red blue eyes and demon light flowed, and he said slowly: "It seems that Wei Xiao still wants to take advantage of this Wuding River to fight across the river with my army!" The Phantom Army has lived in Jiangnan for a long time, is accustomed to water fighting, and is good at using boats, and its water army has the reputation of 'If the wind blows, it is difficult to follow', Wei Xiao wants to use the length of the water army to attack the shortcomings of my demon army!"
He groaned slightly: "Pass the order, demolish the houses near Tanyindu, use all the planks for shipbuilding, and you will personally supervise the construction of only 500 ships, each of which must be in the shape of a giant ship!"
"Yes!" Ye Yu quickly retreated, and immediately mobilized 100,000 troops to demolish civilian houses and supervise the construction of ships.
On the eighth day of the first month of December, the scouts found that Wei Xiao's 50,000 troops were stationed in Yulingji in the upper reaches of the south bank, and Yechen immediately sent troops, ordering Ye Yudu to march hundreds of newly-built giant ships from Fenglingdu to the south bank.
Wei Xiao left 10,000 soldiers to fight bravely by the river, and all the soldiers resisted desperately.
Wei Xiao also ordered the navy to rush the demon army fleet in a winged boat, and set off a thunderbolt to deceive the enemy's eyes, although the demon army was on a giant warship, but because they were not familiar with the water situation of the Wuding River, and the maneuverability of the warship was not as flexible as the wingboat, they were actually hit and sunk by the wingboat with a suicide attack.
Wei Xiao ordered the archers on the wing boat to fire a volley, and the demon soldiers fell into the water one after another.
In this battle, the two sides attacked and defended each other, suffered heavy casualties, fought fiercely until the sky was dark, the waves on the Wuding River splashed everywhere, the slurry drifted, the blood stained half of the river red, and the floating corpses were piled up.
When the battle reached sunset, Yechen saw that he couldn't please him, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
The number of people counted, the demon clan with an army of 400,000, sniping 50,000 Phantom Clan sailors on the water, and even lost more than 80,000 people.
On this day, Yechen kept a calm face and didn't say a word.
Bai Qianyu and Xu Yanda galloped for three days, fortunately there were no chasing soldiers along the way, but in the troubled times, the people were displaced, hunger was everywhere, the dead trees and dry wells, the room was empty, and the village occasionally heard dogs barking, but there was no cooking smoke, and the eyes were full of desolation, and they couldn't help but feel very emotional.
When you go out, you can't see anything, and the white bones cover the plains,
There are a few people in the ten rooms, and there are many empty mountains.
Bleeding and smearing grass, when the jackal haunts,
The universe is devastated, and I am worried about when it will be over.
On this day, the two horses galloped to the city of Chaisang County, Xu Yanda reported his name, and the soldiers defending the city saw that they were also colleagues under General Duguxin in the past, and immediately opened the city gate to let the two of them enter the city.
Bai Qianyu followed Xu Yandama behind, but saw that the houses along the way in the city were lined up one after another, in an orderly manner, regardless of the soldiers and soldiers, they were all civilized and courteous, the people were rich, and they lived and worked in peace and contentment, so he couldn't help nodding and praised: "This Duguxin general guards one side and is diligent in government affairs, and he can save Chaisang from war, which is also a merit!"
Xu Yanda was worried: "Keeping the peace of one side is a small section, if General Dugu is willing to fight for the Phantom Country, and keeping the peace of the country is the great festival of being a minister and general!"
Bai Qianyu nodded yes, but asked rhetorically: "General Xu said so, isn't it possible that even General Xu is not sure that he can move Dugu Xin out of the mountain?"
Xu Yanda said with a wry smile: "General Dugu Xin is famous, known as 'Yun Zhonglang', everyone in the world knows his beauty and temperament, but he doesn't know that his subordinates and General Dugu are fighting in the north and south, getting along day and night, his temperament is actually stubborn!"
The two of them talked, and unconsciously arrived at the general's mansion, the head of the Dugu family heard that the two were coming, and hurriedly greeted them, arranged a side room for the two, and treated each other with fine wine and tea every day, so that the clover lived a very moist life, but every time Bai Qianyu and Xu Yanda asked when General Duguxin would be able to meet, the manager told them that General Duguxin is now diligent in political affairs, and he goes out early and returns late every day, and sometimes he sleeps in the mansion, and he doesn't know when he can go back.
After two days in a row, on the third day, Xu Yanda couldn't stay, and discussed with Bai Qianyu: "With my understanding of General Dugu and our intentions, I'm afraid that he will already know it, so avoidance, I'm afraid that he won't go out of the mountain, and if it goes on like this, it will be useless in the end, so it's better to go back to Qingping Mountain as soon as possible and make another plan with General Wei!"
Bai Qianyu thought about it for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay! Dugu believes in this person, he is very smart, he is proud of his achievements, if he doesn't provoke him, he is afraid that he will not come out." ”
The two of them packed their bags and said goodbye to the steward.
The chief steward said seriously: "I have sent someone to the government to report to General Dugu, the general is known, you two wait a little longer, the general will be back in a few days!"
The two of them only thought that he was polite again, and they were about to leave, but the chief manager couldn't keep it, so he had to send it and stay, and pulled it all the way to the door.
I only heard the chief steward persuade hard: "General Xu is an old friend of Sanxiang, this white prince is polite and polite, and it is the first time to come to the door, if I can't keep the two, the general will know and will be punished!"
Bai Qianyu said secretly in his stomach: "I'm afraid that you have colluded with your general to play this one, and I will give full marks for this performance." "Still leaving.
The three of them were pulling, suddenly heard the sound of the car door outside the door, one of them jumped out of the carriage, before he could land, he had already thrown the sword to the little servant, hurriedly walked towards them, and said: "Oh, I'm late, you forgive me!"
Bai Qianyu and Xu Yanda looked back, and saw a person, wearing a fierce gold armor, a white robe, and a Babao Mingguang helmet, the white tassel on the helmet was three feet long, moving with them, his eyebrows flew like a sword, his eyes were like stars, and he was extraordinary in appearance, and he was amazing.
