The main camp of the Ice Plain Legion had retreated for dozens of miles, on a gentle slope, with an open valley in front of it, and an excellent line of sight, not far from the largest river in the northwest, the Mingta River. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The sky is getting brighter, the heavy rain is gradually stopping, Chiba looks at the direction of Tamu Castle from afar, the turbid waves of the Tahe River not far away are rolling, and the river surface of more than 20 zhang is a mist, and the situation on the opposite bank can not be seen at all. General Monton has sent the Wolf Rider close to Tamu City, and no news has yet arrived.

This anxious wait is undoubtedly the most strenuous of all, and Chiba is full of haggard face at the moment.

"County Lord, go and rest, your subordinates are waiting for news here-" The chief of the guard stood behind Chiba, coughing incessantly as he spoke.

Chiba glanced back, only to see that the other side was gray, and there was a black aura between his eyebrows, Chiba sighed: "It's me who has caused everyone's troubles - you are all my father's most trusted subordinates, but because of my impulse, your life hangs on here......"

The chief of the guard hurriedly bowed and said, "The county lord is serious! It is an honor for his subordinates to be able to serve the prince and the county lord! Actually, ...... The wounded brothers are ready, even if they are burned alive, they will never be the restless dead spirits!"

Chiba's lips moved slightly, but she couldn't say half a word. In the face of these subordinates who have died generously, any words of comfort are more like an insult to the warriors.

However, Chiba is more worried about the future of the empire than the misfortune of the people in front of him. The appearance of the undead made her understand that the eternal night is not just a legend, that ballad sings a very real history - the eternal night comes, the red land is thousands of miles, the death of Kyushu, and the achievement of light!

It is inconceivable that the Founding Ancestor led mankind to survive and achieve the ultimate supremacy of the continent with just one undead soul in Tamu City! Chiba suddenly wondered what had happened to that erased piece of history, and why did the Founding Ancestor avoid it so much -- could it be that even words could not bear the weight?

Chiba was thinking about it, when suddenly there was a burst of cheers not far away, and I saw dozens of horsemen galloping towards the camp. Chiba's eyes lit up, and she had already seen the familiar figure of the burrly head.

After a while, the cavalry rushed into the camp gate. Chiba couldn't care about the **** slope anymore, and rushed out of the camp directly and ran towards Guo Wu, all the fatigue of the night was dispelled by the joy of this moment.

Guo Wu tugged at the corners of his mouth, and he was extremely energetic, and he also felt out of strength, so he could only wave weakly to Chiba: "Come here, help me!"

Chiba's face flushed slightly, and she glanced at Guo Wu with disgust, this villain, in front of everyone's eyes, is not afraid of causing criticism! However, she still walked over quickly. When she walked to the side of the war horse, she realized that she had misunderstood Guo Wu, and saw that there was a fat man behind Guo Wu, who had passed out, and the rain and blood were mixed together, and she could no longer see the original color of the other party's clothes. And they were bound together with a strip of cloth.

Chiba has recognized the identity of the fat man, who is the most obscene of the three evils of Wolf City, and is also Guo Wu's best brother - Fu Tianlou. She immediately stepped forward and held Fu Tianlou's body, but found that the other party's body was extremely hot, like a furnace, and she was so shocked that she almost let go!

"Don't be afraid, this is Xiao Lou's body repairing itself. As long as you can get through it, your injuries will be almost recovered!" Guo Wu tore off the tied strips of cloth and jumped off the war horse, took Fu Tianlou in his arms and walked towards the camp tent. Chiba hurriedly followed!

On the other side, Ah Heng, Nalan Xiaoxue, and Xiao Jin had also dismounted, and the fierce battle and the pouring rain made them all embarrassed.

"Ah Heng, Xiao Lou will be fine, right?" Xiao Xue said with an uneasy expression.

"Don't worry, that palm won't kill him! Xiao Lou is naturally timid, and what he is best at is life-saving kung fu, and being beaten and running away are the best-" Ah Heng comforted. The dragon fox on his shoulder also snorted, as if echoing this statement.

"It's all my fault, if it weren't for my poor martial arts, Xiao Lou wouldn't have been so seriously injured......" Xiao Xue lowered her head sadly, and her hands were tightly twisted together.

Xiao Jin suddenly walked over, took Nalan Xiaoxue's hand and comforted: "Sister, don't blame yourself too much, Brahma is originally crazy, no one would have thought that she would hurt you even if she was injured." In fact, you are very powerful, if it weren't for your endless Gu techniques, we wouldn't have been able to delay the moment of escape!"

Ah Heng echoed: "Yes, that's a madman!" He looked at Xiaoxue's soft long hair against his cheeks, and water droplets continued to slide down his face, and sighed in his heart, only he understood the purpose of Brahma's heart - the other party must have seen the second spiritual origin in his body, and knew that the second origin was the cage of the dark strange bird. The other party tried to eliminate the Love Flower Gu in his body by killing Xiao Xue and unleashing the Dark Strange Bird - but only a few people knew about the Love Flower Gu, and it was puzzling where the other party knew about it.

However, it is inconvenient to say all this, it is a secret that he can manipulate the Gu of Love Flowers, if Nalan Xiaoxue knows that the so-called love has always been a lie and deceit, this Gu girl who insists on believing in love is only afraid that she will isolate herself in front of him!

At this time, Xiao Lei had already rushed over with his own soldiers.

Ah Heng immediately said: "Brother Xiao, you ordered someone to take Xiaoxue and Wuqi to change their clothes and rest! I'll wait here for General Mengton!"

Xiao Lei nodded, and immediately ordered several personal soldiers to lead Xiao Jin and Nalan Xiaoxue away.

Not long after, Monton returned with hundreds of cavalry, he jumped off his horse and said: "Ah Heng, the last bridge has been destroyed, the scouts will closely monitor the other side of the Mingta River, as long as there is a dead spirit, they will immediately warn!

Ah Heng breathed a sigh of relief and bowed: "It's hard work, Lord Mengton!"

Meng Dun smiled slightly: "This is a matter of duty!" He suddenly glanced at Xiao Lei, and when he saw Xiao Lei shaking his head, he stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Ah Heng, you come with me!" After speaking, he straightened up again and said loudly: "Let's go to Daying to discuss first!"

Ah Heng was stunned, not understanding what the other party wanted to hide, and seeing that Xiao Lei also nodded, he responded: "It's okay, I also want to communicate the situation in Tamu City with you, the general!"

After speaking, the three of them walked quickly towards the camp tent of the Chinese army!

Not far away, Chiba frowned as she looked at the backs of the three of them, she vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't think of anything wrong!

In the Chinese military tent, Xiao Lei opened the tent door, Ah Heng immediately walked in, and Meng Dun and Xiao Lei followed. There were already two people waiting in the account, and Ah Heng was pleasantly surprised when he saw the first person: "Bearded, why are you!"

The bearded man also jumped up: "Ah Heng, you're finally back!" and then said with a look of resentment, "I thought you forgot about your brothers when you became a duke!"

Ah Heng punched the other party and said with a smile: "Forget no one, you can't forget Big Brother Beard! How is it? Rou Niang is okay? You are not sorry for others!"

The bearded man grinned and said: "Hey, don't mention how majestic people are, the governor used to support her, and now a group of brothers from the wolf riding camp have lifted her to the sky, what's the matter, is it possible that Ah Heng has to make decisions for her - then my life can't go on!"

Ah Heng smiled, the two had already been a lifelong friendship, and if he hadn't deliberately released water with a beard, he would have died in the hands of Furong a long time ago.

The bearded man saluted Meng Dun and Xiao Lei again, and then said to Ah Heng: "Ah Heng, this time, there is an extremely important matter that you need to decide!"

Seeing that the other party's expression was extremely solemn, Ah Heng couldn't help but panic in his heart. The bearded man had pulled a small man with his head bowed next to him.

Ah Heng was strange in his heart, and was about to ask, but he saw that this little man fell to his knees with a puff, raised his head and said, "Please save me, Lord Duke!"

Ah Heng was taken aback, only to see that the other party was a little shy little fat man, the skin on his face had cracked several times, and he had the color of dust and frost at a young age. Ah Heng was sure that he had never met the other party, but it was obviously extraordinary that this person was able to make the bearded man so solemn. Ah Heng immediately looked at the bearded man, but saw that the bearded man had already skimmed his face, and Meng Dun and Xiao Lei also looked up at the sky, looking indifferent.

Ah Heng looked at the dodging appearance of the three of them and felt even more troubled, and he said softly: "Little brother, don't worry, there is something to say slowly! Also, you must at least tell me, who are you, what is your name?"

The little fat man pursed his lips, looked at the handsome man with the ugly dragon and fox in front of him, seemed to have made up some kind of determination, and said slowly: "Lord Duke, the bearded general said that you are a hero who stands up to the sky, and as long as you promise something, you will never go back-"

Ah Heng waved his hand with a headache: "Little brother, don't make a fool of yourself first-you better introduce yourself first!"

The little fat man stared at Ah Heng's unfocused eyes and said, "Lord Duke, my name is Ye Yuan, and I ......" He suddenly couldn't speak, as if he didn't know how to introduce himself!

Ye Yuan? Ah Heng muttered in his mouth, and suddenly his face changed drastically: "Ah-you are the Prince of Ye Yuan?" He finally knew why those three guys didn't dare to look at him squarely, the Imperial Prince knelt down to him, which did require some courage for the subjects of the Bright Dynasty to accept such a picture!

Ye Yuan forced a smile, revealing the vicissitudes of life that did not match his age at all: "Lord Duke, you are wrong, Ye Yuan is no longer the crown prince, I just want to be an ordinary commoner, but even such a request to survive is a kind of extravagant hope - Prince Wen, he wants to kill me!"

Ah Heng patted the other party's shoulder comfortingly, he knew that he was in a big trouble! If Chiba or Prince Wen knew that he was protecting Ye Yuan, he was afraid that he would be inseparable! But let him hand over Ye Yuan, he would never be able to do such a thing, his childhood experience made him empathize with Ye Yuan's situation at the moment.

Ah Heng suddenly remembered something again, in the imperial capital city, Guo Wu had asked Shi Qian to inquire about the whereabouts of Ye Yuan's biological mother, but that night the palace fired, and the dead did not know how many, either turned into ashes or changed beyond recognition, and they didn't know the whereabouts of the harem concubine at all, most of them had already been burned with the harem!

As one of the culprits of this matter, Ah Heng didn't know what Ye Yuan would think of himself! He coughed and said to Ye Yuan: "Your Highness, you can stay here with peace of mind, this matter is not trivial, let me think about it carefully!"

Ye Yuan showed a look of disappointment, in his opinion, the other party obviously intended to shirk!

The bearded man smiled and said, "Your Highness, you can rest assured now, since Ah Heng said so, he will definitely not sit idly by!"

Ye Yuan looked at the bearded man suspiciously, and then looked at Ah Heng, only to see the other party nodding, and suddenly showed joy.

Ah Heng said to Xiao Lei: "Brother Xiao, you first arrange for His Highness to live in the camp, and then pretend to be an attendant in my personal barracks!" He said to Ye Yuan again: "Your Highness, I can only wronged you first!"

Ye Yuan bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Lord Duke!"

Ah Heng looked at Ye Yuan, who was leaving with Xiao Lei, and sighed: "You can make me miserable! If Prince Wen ascends to the throne, I will definitely die!"

The bearded man smiled awkwardly and did not answer.

Monton said lightly: "There is no more if, at dusk yesterday, Tamu City received a message from the Flying Eagle. Three days ago, Prince Wen led his army to break through Yongnan Town. On the same day, Admiral Bolu was assassinated in the imperial capital and was seriously wounded! The southwestern army corps attacking the southeast also encountered a dilemma, and the southeastern provinces carried out a strong wall to clear the wilderness, relying on the mountain guerrillas, and Huo Qing was already mired in a quagmire! In the southwest, Huo Qing's eldest son was killed by a concubine, and Yabu City was controlled by the other party, and that concubine had already declared his allegiance to Ye Chong. The Northern Xinjiang Army, which is preparing to be mobilized in Xining Province, is marching towards Jianmen, preparing to block the return of the Southwest Army......"

Ah Heng's mind was blank, he traveled all the way to Tamu City, and couldn't help but be smug, how did he know that Ye Chong had changed the world! This kind of gap is really desperate!

Monton continued: "Therefore, no one has been able to stop Prince Wen from entering the imperial capital, and the final battle for the imperial throne may have begun - I believe that at this time, Prince Wen definitely does not want to be disturbed by the scourge of death in Tamu City......"

Ah Heng smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Mengton, do you mean to let me help Ye Chong resist the necromancy here, and then use this as a condition for Ye Yuan to survive?"

Meng Dun nodded: "Instead of hiding His Royal Highness Ye Yuan, it is better to say it clearly! Of course, you can also put forward more conditions, I believe that Prince Wen will definitely not refuse!"

Ah Heng sighed: "Actually, this is a bad idea! Ye Chong must think that I am ambitious......

Meng Dun said: "Even if there is no such thing, your impression in Prince Wen's heart cannot be changed. The key is whether your ambition is in the empire or in the ice field? If it is the latter, I believe that Prince Wen will be happy to see it come to fruition! The ice field is already chaotic enough, and a little more chaos will only be beneficial to the empire! Moreover, the northern frontier will eventually be in charge of your good brother Guo Wu, can you be ruthless and make enemies of your own brother?"

Ah Heng exclaimed: "Sure enough, it's a last resort! Lord Mengton, I don't know who gave you this bad idea? Could it be His Royal Highness Ye Yuan?"

Monton laughed, "Why do you ask?"

Ah Heng pouted and said: "I grew up in Wolf City, you and the bearded man know my temper, even if you don't persuade me, I won't let the dead cause trouble in the northern frontier, let alone lead troops to invade the northern frontier." Therefore, His Royal Highness Ye Yuan can do whatever he wants! There is only one thing, don't hide anything from me!"

Monton smiled silently.
