Chapter 31: Bloodstained Wind and Rain (Today's Two Watches)

Under the canopy, outside the Xuanwu Pass, the camp is brightly lit, and the four pillars are respectively placed with four bronze lamps in the shape of Rui beasts, the words of Yachen, and the mane "hair" is rolled up to the back tail, and the momentum is awe-inspiring.

Qi Han was dressed in silver-white "color" armor, sitting on the side of the low, with a solemn face on his forehead, and now he has fought two battles with the barbarians, although it is a small victory, but he has lost the lives of thousands of soldiers, and the battlefield battle can be described as tragic.

The number of troops assembled by the barbarians this time is several times that of the past, and the barbarians are brave and good at fighting, and their weapons are slightly better than those of the big one. This situation reminded Qi Han of Su Juan's words, Su Juan's words are not unreasonable, this barbarian invasion of the south must have made all preparations, and there will be reinforcements later.

Praying for the cold god condensed, picked up the wolf hair in his hand, drafted the recital, asked the emperor to increase the garrison and weapons, and with a wave, he picked up the seal letter from the side and stamped it on it.

Shouted outside the camp, "Shen Tu! Shen Tu Jun!"

Qi Han called twice and still no one answered, in the past, Shen Tujun would stay outside the camp tent and wait for him to wait at any time, his deep eyes were raised, could it be that what happened?

Faintly hearing the neighing of horses in the barracks, Qi Han realized that something was wrong and strode out.

The night was far-reaching, and the west side of the barracks could be seen in the distance, with fire rising to the sky and thick smoke billowing out. That direction is the direction of hoarding grain and grass, and troops have been sent to closely monitor and prevent the enemy from burning grain and grass, how can there still be a fire.

When the guards saw the commander personally coming out of the camp, they knelt on the ground one after another, "Boss!"

Qi Han thought about it, Shen Tu should have rescued the grain and grass, and Shen Tu should be fine, Qi Han picked up the hunting cold, turned around and returned to the camp, and sat on the seat.

After a long time, the barracks finally became quiet.

Shaoqing, Deputy General Shen Tujun, and General Gao Mingyuan came to the outside of the camp one after another, asking to see the commander!"

"Come in!" a condensed voice floated from the tent.

Both of them were wearing armor, strode into the camp, and when they saw the boss praying for cold, they knelt directly on the ground, "Boss!"

Qi Han Junjun was shrouded in a layer of haze, and his face was dark and gloomy, "How about the loss?" The voice was so cold that it could form frost.

Shen Tujun stepped forward directly and said, "Boss, due to sending people to guard in advance, three layers of grain and grass have been lost. ”

I heard that the loss of three layers of grain and grass, hundreds of thousands of troops, and three layers of grain and grass is not a small amount, and the cold between the eyebrows is like a layer.

"I've already taken precautions, how can I still let the enemy take advantage of it?"

Gao Mingyuan, a man in his thirties, has a burly figure, a square head and a wide face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a red and black face.

Gao Mingyuan took a step forward, and said with wide eyes: "Boss, the barbarians did not send people to attack, but built a high platform and used a huge crossbow to 'shoot' the flames towards the military camp. ”

These four words flashed in Qi Han's mind, and he couldn't help but be horrified in his heart, this matter was predicted by Su Juan earlier, as for the giant crossbow, it was obvious that they were still in the experimental stage and could not be widely used. If it were used to attack the barracks, wouldn't the barracks become a sea of fire, with countless casualties.

Worried in his heart, his brows were frozen, thinking about the corresponding plan, any weapon has his fatal weakness, and the strong crossbow will also have its "firing" range, in order to ensure safety, "Pass the order, tomorrow, retreat five miles, and set up camp!"

On the other side, Su Juan and his party arrived in Hanzhou, reluctantly said goodbye to Sikong Yun'er, and then the group continued to hurry.

On this day, in the afternoon, the caravan was on the way to Xuanwu Pass, and the closer it was to Xuanwu Pass, the more uneasy Su Juan's heart became.

In recent days, Su Juan has been unable to eat, and her body is thinner than before. Su Juan sat in the sedan chair and felt suffocated, so she came out of it and rode a horse with her brother.

Su Jin sat on the horse, and saw that her sister had been depressed for the past few days, always worried, and her body was getting thinner and thinner, and she was very worried.

"Ah Juan, you don't have to worry, we will go to Xuanwu Pass tomorrow, and Ah Wan will be able to see King Lang. ”

Su Juan didn't settle down because of her brother's relief, Su Juan had a premonition, the kind of restlessness that she couldn't speak, and there seemed to be a sense of imminent danger.

Suddenly, the originally cool weather suddenly became overcast and cold, thick clouds mixed with cold winds made people unable to open their eyes, Su Jin covered his eyes with his hands, and a storm suddenly came without warning.

The wind was four, rolling up the dark clouds, the ink clouds rolled from the sky, and in an instant, the clouds were dense, the day was dark, and the "fog" was like being in the night.

Su Jin kicked his legs tightly and clamped the chasing wind under him, tightened the reins of the horse, worried about the safety of his sister Su Juan, and called against the wind: "Ah Juan, go back to the carriage quickly." ”

Su Juan was riding under the snow, and the wind blew so that she couldn't open her eyes, and at this time, the wind swept down the violent raindrops, hitting her body and soaking her clothes.

Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning, and a thunderbolt slashed down, and the thunder seemed to sound in Xuemang's ears, and the always docile blood was frightened, manic, and screamed, and his hooves were panicked.

Su Juan couldn't open his eyes, and couldn't control the frightened Xue Mang for a while, his hands were slippery and he didn't have the strength to hold the reins of the horse, the reins slipped out of his hands, and his body leaned back directly.

Su Juan felt that the things around her seemed to be still, how could such a situation be similar, when she fell off the horse as a child, there would always be a strong hand of Brother Qi Han to protect her in his arms, and the gentle breath seemed to be next to his ears and temples, calling Qi Han's name in his heart, I really wanted to see him, but his weak body was powerless to stop his body from falling.

Thunder slashed down one after another, and without warning, a storm struck, and the sky was dark.

With a glimmer of light, Su Jin sensed her sister's danger, and regardless of her own danger, she directly rushed over and hugged her sister.

Su Juan suddenly felt a strong hand take off her, and the two of them were soaked in rain, but fortunately there was soft grass under them, and Su Jin only suffered some flesh wounds.

Su Jin hurriedly got up from the ground, and wanted to send her sister to the carriage by the light, feeling that the younger sister in her arms was weak and boneless, and her body sank without any strength, as if something was wrong.

"How are you?"

When Su Juan fell off the horse, he hit the stirrups, and the red blood soaked his clothes in an instant, like a bewitching red lotus spreading

Su Juan felt a slight pain in the back of her head, and Xiuya's brows furrowed slightly. The rain made her breathless, her whole body was biting cold, her whole body was weak, she felt so tired, she wanted to sleep like this.

But he has gone through a lot of hardships and hasn't seen him yet, so he must not fall asleep like this, raise his stagnant eyelids, and use his only remaining strength to say: "Brother, take Ah Juan to see Qi Han, Ah Juan really wants to see him." ”

Su Juan was no longer able to open her eyes, her head was turned to one side, and she fainted in the arms of her brother Su Jin.

The torrential rain on the grassland was rapid and fast, and gradually a light appeared on the horizon, and the rain gradually thinned.

Su Jin hugged her sister tightly, protected Su Juan's head with one hand, and saw that Yin Hong's blood was dyed in white like Qixia, and her face was as pale as snow.

The pain in my heart was extreme, tears rolled down the corners of my eyes, and I couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears, and my voice whimpered: "Ah Juan, my brother promised you, and my brother took you to see him." ”
