Chapter VII

The afterglow of the waning sun shone on the snowfield, scattering patches of light, rendering the snowfield as red as blood. The sky was lit up by the setting sun, and a fiery red halo fell gently on their faces.

It was a scene that shocked the brain, heart, and even soul, as if countless hands stretched out from the abyss and held everyone's hearts, which was suffocating.

The ancient snowfields have seen countless wars, large and small, but this one is more intense than a war.

You can see the armies of humans and demons entangled together, like a couple in love and passionate like flames, hugging each other, you can see blood splattering in the air, these red liquids soaking the snow at a rapid speed, you can see those creatures that were originally alive in this world die in the next second, their bodies falling, and they are crossed by their companions......

"Do you think they'll approve of him rather than be pressured by your presence?" Ang Weizhi flashed out silently, looking at the departing students.

"Where did you come from?"

Ang Weizhi pointed behind him, "Conference room." ”

The conference room is different from the conference hall in that it is set up behind the oak wall facing the main door, and an extremely private door allows people to enter and exit. The only people who know about it are the upper echelons of the Academy. Its purpose is to hold some meetings that are inconvenient for people to know.

"You're eavesdropping on the meeting!" He Quan cried out nervously.

"What do you mean by eavesdropping? I just happened to hear it inside. As a vice-chancellor, I am also qualified to know what the meeting is about. ”

"Okay, but please please don't eavesdrop next time, it's rude. He Quan said, "You can obviously stand on it with me." ”

Ang Wei's gray beard twitched a few times, and he suppressed his impatience, "You haven't answered my previous question yet. ”

Fortunately, He Quan didn't continue to run the train with his mouth full, he probably realized that this sixtie-year-old man with a bad temper was about to go berserk.

"I don't think so. He Quan said, "But can you find a more suitable candidate than him?"

Ang Weizhi thought for a while and said, "Not really. Are you grinding him on purpose?"

"My instincts tell me he's going to be above the world. We can't be above the world, but we can create a man who is above the world. At that time, there will be more people who sign up for the school palace, and we will be able to receive soft hands when we collect money. He Quan walked to the door and turned around again, "I will be able to drink better flower tea too." Speaking of flower tea, would you like a few cups of shortbread or chestnut shortbread? They're good. ”

"Can a person with two Heavenly Grade Spiritual Roots still be a waste?" Ang Weizhi said loudly, "Also, I don't want to drink your flower tea, you can drink it slowly yourself." ”

The wind was raging, the temperature plummeted, and they entered the snowy field of the blizzard. This group of teenagers under twenty years old hooked their heads, with the wind and snow above their heads, struggled to move forward in knee-deep snow. They try to huddle together as much as possible and keep each other warm. Although this effect is minimal, it at least gives each other psychological comfort. Their mouths and noses were like yellowed mottled smoking guns in the hands of old men, spewing out thick mist, and the sound of heavy breathing was extinguished in the whistling wind and snow.

The 3,000-strong team must arrive at the Frost Fortress in two days and join the city's garrison to fight off the invaders.

Shao Xuechen walked at the forefront of the team, facing the overwhelming wind and snow. It's his job as a leader, and he has to be an example to others and take the lead. Even if he didn't want to.

"Don't be discouraged, young people should be like young people. You weren't like that when you were a kid, how lively you were back then. Xiao Yan said.

There were flying snowflakes in front of him, and the raging wind made Shao Xuechen a little unable to open his eyes. He moved forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The hair of the hat on his head swayed like a banner in the cold wind.

"You also said, it was when I was a child. ”

His voice was blown away by the wind the moment he exited, and he didn't know where it would be carried by the wind.

"You're not cute at all right now. Xiao Yan continued to talk, "Don't always wear clothes of only one color, it looks too monotonous......

"I just like it. Shao Xuechen stood up and opened his throat, he was afraid that others would not hear him. "Stop it all, stay here tonight. ”

The wind and snow are still there. Tents were erected and frozen, and iron pots were placed on clusters of bonfires, the aroma of broth emanating from them. The light of the fire reflected the haggard faces of the teenagers who sat around the flames, and they did not say a word.

"It's the perfect day for a bowl of hot soup on such a cold day. ”

Xiao Yan held a bowl of broth and chewed on the steamed bread moistened by the soup, looking interested.

"If that old guy from He Quan was here, he would definitely go around selling his flower tea. Xiao Yan imitated He Quan's tone, "Do you want a cup of hot flower tea?" ”

"I have to say, you learned quite vividly. Jian Ke touched his frozen nose and showed a sad expression, "This damn snowy region." How does this look make me hook up with those beautiful girls. ”

"I'm full. I slept. Shao Xuechen wrapped his clothes tightly, let it cling to his body, and fell asleep against the tent that was frozen like wood.

"Good night, child, and have a good night's sleep. Xiao Yan said softly.

"Boss, you seem to know him well?"

"I grew up watching him. You didn't come before he was punished. He was rescued by Director Lin by accident and brought to the school palace. He was very naughty and often teased us old guys with the little girl Yunzhu. Xiao Yan's eyes revealed a glimmer of light, "He is very talented and hardworking, and he is the most potential little guy in the entire school palace." We are all very proud of him. After that he made a big mistake. When he was judged, he looked at us helplessly, his watery eyes full of grievances...... We all think of him as a grandson...... But rules are rules, no one can break them, and no one is qualified to arbitrarily deprive others of their right to live, even if those people make mistakes, there will be due punishment on them. So, he must be punished. Maybe the reason he doesn't want to talk to us too much now is because he still holds a grudge against us. ”

"You've never had that look like that before. Jian Ke said.

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What expression?"

"Let me think about how to describe it. Jian Ke pondered for a while, "It's like a grandfather who watches his beloved grandson fall asleep in the cradle." ”

"Really? That's normal. Xiao Yan drank the broth in the bowl, "This soup is a little cold." Well, it's time to sleep. Old people can't stay up late. ”

"Good night, chief. Jian Ke stood up, "I'm going to stand guard, with such a heavy snowfall, those little guys can't stand this kind of suffering, they must have run to stay in the tent a long time ago." ”

Xiao Yan moved his body back, made way for Jian Ke, and said, "Don't freeze your nose." ”

"You can do it with a little bit of power. Jian Ke broke the hard tent and walked out, and then poked his head in, "It's really cold outside. And, sir, you're not old. At least that's what I think. ”

The night is the second costume of the sky, like a curtain on the stage, which makes the sky deep and mysterious. The faint starlight is barely visible, and they may be afraid of the cold. Only the bright moon is not afraid of the cold, and the boundless snow is silvery white in the moonlight, so white that people can't open their eyes. The wind and snow are still howling......

Night is coming, and the day is not far away.

The first light came on the horizon, and in the dim space, the faint fire was licked back into a handful of dry wood and rekindled the flame. The most quaint and ***** fragrance that is enough to arouse people is then meandering and spreading.

The stiff tent was torn open, and light poured in from the sky, and the flames were blown bright and dark by the intruding wind and snow.

The wind and snow that blew unsteadily, and the plain white snow was like a road to heaven that stretched to the horizon and stretched to the end of the horizon.

The old man's sleep quality was not very good, before dawn, when the wind and snow were still howling, Xiao Yan had already woken up from sleep. But he didn't get up until dawn. It's a painful thing to do, and there's nothing to kill time.

Xiao Yan stepped on the snow, and the soft snow made a "rustling" sound.

"Wake up so early, don't sleep more?"

Jian Ke kept watch outside all night, and a lot of snow fell on his body, almost turning into a snowman. He shook the snow off his body, and in the wind, the tiny snow flew like catkins on a spring day.

"The quality of sleep in the elderly is not very good. Xiao Yan looked at the snow that blended into the sky.

"I told you last night, you're still young. Jian Ke took off his gold-rimmed glasses and rubbed his sour eyes, "The snow is a lot smaller, it's quite suitable for traveling." At yesterday's pace, it is expected to arrive this evening. ”

"Look at the snow, how beautiful it is. There is not a trace of dirt. Xiao Yan said, "Only when the world calms down will it show its gentle side, and we can only appreciate its gentleness when we stop like now." ”

When Shao Xuejin woke up, the cold air made him feel like his chest was stuffed into a ball of snow, stinging. He got up and pounded his sore body with his fists, allowing the blood to flow faster. Then he took a long breath and exhaled the turbid breath held in his lungs, and suddenly felt a lot refreshed.

He could already smell the aroma, and the broth in the pot was bubbling, but it would take a while to taste it.

He stepped out of the tent, and the morning light on the horizon was getting brighter. The clearer the firmament is in this kind of inaccessible place, which can soothe all the restlessness and restlessness in the world, and make people involuntarily calm down.

There were several black dots flying high above the sky, and they whistled loudly.

That's the Snow Eagle, the symbol of the snowy region. They are the high-altitude overlords of the snowy region, and they are also a powerful spirit beast. They are born with wind and snow, they are the darlings of this world, and they are also the elves of the snowy region.

This seemingly unconditional heaven and earth is actually pregnant with countless lives.

The day was completely lit up, and the camp was left in a mess. But the snow will hide the traces of their coming, and it will become calm again, and it will become holy. And they set out, toward the city of steel, in order to keep it holy. Some of them will be able to go back, and some will stay forever in this holiness.
