Alliance of Glory: The Ballad of the Border Chapter 3: The Return
"Ahh Shen Mengxi yawned, looked at Baili Shouyu with a tired face, and said, "This cat······ I really don't understand, why do you want to change this cat to patrol at night······ This ······ The cat still has to rest, and the cat is just not used to working at night. "Why don't cats like the night anymore?" replied Baili Shou without looking back, his eyes fixed on the sight of the blind gun.
"I'm not saying I'm bad at night, I mean the cat isn't used to patrolling at night, but of course, the cat does see it very clearly at night. ”
"That's it. Baili Shouyu still kept his eyes on the scope with his right eye. Shen Mengxi looked at it and said unhappily: "Then why does that woman have to change with me when she comes? You and Dunshan are originally night patrols, why don't you change with you?"
"That's not easy?" Baili Shouyu finally changed his posture, twisted his sore neck and said: "People are girls, and it's always embarrassing to let people patrol the night." It's just that you're patrolling during the day, so I can only change with you. ”
"Oh?" Shen Mengxi said to himself, "So, you are also sexist and look down on that woman?"
Baili Shouyue was stunned and said: "How can you have such an idea? It's just that she seems to have the Great Wall Commander logo granted by the imperial court, and according to common sense, her official position is bigger than ours." We don't have the qualifications to command others, but they haven't mentioned it······ Let's take a look at it first. ”
"Hmph!" Shen Mengxi said with two small short hands: "I don't like that woman anyway." She used to say 'she wants to show high-end operations', 'this is a demonstration of masters', and 'who says women are inferior to men'. What is it? How dare you pretend to be in front of this cat? And she's causing me to keep vigil! No, I'm going to have to find a chance to fix her. ”
When Baili Shouyue heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "I don't think what you said earlier is the point, only the last thing is what makes you linger, right?" Mengxi, let the man let this little bit of the woman." And it's not a big deal at all. ”
"I don't listen. Shen Mengxi wanted to refute the other "crimes" of the woman, but Dunshan walked over with a "knock knock" and waved his thick iron arm at Shen Mengxi.
"Good. Got it. Shen Mengxi knew that he was going to go on a night patrol with Dunshan, so he walked out dejectedly, and said to Baili Shou, who continued to patrol the city tower with a gun: "Be careful yourself, don't be attacked by female ghosts from behind." And he departed with the shield mountain.
Baili Shouyue listened to Shen Mengxi say a lot, and he was also curious in his heart, and observed in the cold wind for a while, there was still only a bleak cold wind outside the Great Wall, and there was no other dangerous breath. Only then did he put away his gun, thought for a while, and then walked to the bottom of the Great Wall City.
"General Hua, don't you rest so late?" He didn't go far before he saw the neatly groomed pink hair, and immediately recognized Mulan, and asked.
Hua Mulan was leaning against the passage walls of the various defense platforms, closing her eyes and thinking about something, when she suddenly heard the voice of Baili keeping the promise, and also opened her eyes and said: "Keep the promise, just call me Mulan, it's strange to call General Hua." ”
"Okay, Sister Mulan. Baili Shouyu casually added the word "sister" at the end, and asked: "The task of the Great Wall is quite heavy, don't you rest at night? ”
"Rest assured, this is my mission. Mulan said, shaking the badge on her chest. Baili Shouyue recognized that it was the Great Wall Guardian Medal awarded by the imperial court, so he asked by the way: "Sister Mulan, since you are sent by the imperial court, why do you obey our orders instead of directly commanding us?"
"Conductor, I'm afraid I don't have your approval or the ability, right?" Mulan smiled self-deprecatingly, "I need to slowly integrate into the Great Wall collective. ”
"Okay, then be careful. Baili Shouyue nodded and said: "You have to be careful, there is a ghost outside the Great Wall, he comes and goes without a trace, and he has always been able to turn the Great Wall upside down by himself before." Although he hasn't been here much lately, we still have to be careful, especially if you're a woman. As he spoke, he planted an eye on the ground with his blind gun.
Hua Mulan said: "Don't worry, I have also heard of that ghost. I was thinking about meeting him, but I kept my promise······ What is this. ”
Baili Shouyue smiled slightly and said, "This is called the Eye of Tranquility, which was placed by my blind gun, and it is a monitor." People who are within range of the monitor will be easily spotted. ”
"This ······ It's not like you're here to spy on whether you're lazy, are you?" said Mulan jokingly. When Baili Shou heard this, he hurriedly said: "How is this possible? It must be used to prevent an enemy from sneaking into the Great Wall." There are people outside the Great Wall who have the skill of stealth, and through this quiet eye, they can have nowhere to hide. ”
was originally a friendly conversation, but because of Mulan's unintentional display of the badge on her chest and an unintentional joke, it made Baili Shouyo's heart have a pimple. Whether he himself is prejudiced against women or not, perhaps he himself does not know.
In the dead of night, Mulan paced alone in the passage. The life of the Great Wall is far from her father's description and her own imagination, and the Great Wall has always had no shortage of capable but unruly and capable people, and she still has a long way to go to lead them.
She took out Di Renjie's letter of instruction to herself, and asked her to find Su Lie first, with this authoritative former chief, it is not difficult to reunite the originally scattered power of the Great Wall.
Seeing this, Mulan couldn't help but think: "Su Lie······ He should not be far from the Great Wall now, so I'll look for it tomorrow. Suddenly, her whole body trembled, and the air around her seemed to condense into ice, revealing a biting chill.
"What's going on?" Mulan couldn't help but pull out her heavy sword and look around cautiously. The torches hanging on the wall were still burning vigorously, but they couldn't feel the warmth they radiated.
Hua Mulan only felt that something was trembling slightly under her feet, and when she looked down, it turned out to be the quiet eye that Baili Shou had put down, and it couldn't stop flashing red and purple light.
"Enemies?" Mulan immediately determined what the Quiet Eye meant, and immediately looked around. Sure enough, he saw a strange man with only his eyes hidden by a mask that covered half of his face faintly moving towards him.
"Thanks to this quiet eye. Hua Mulan sighed secretly, suddenly picked up the heavy sword, and stabbed towards the Lanling King who was approaching because of curiosity.
The King of Lanling was prostrate on the ground, walking forward in the dim light, when he suddenly heard a sound, and hurriedly blocked it with his fist, and was immediately hit by Mulan with all his strength and flew out to the top of the back, hitting the wall behind him. Hua Mulan took advantage of the moment of his impact, and clearly saw all his body shapes and appearances, exactly the same as the description of the ghost by other soldiers of the Great Wall, although she was a little prepared in her heart, but she didn't expect him to really appear here and now, and she was inevitably a little surprised: "It's you, ghost!"
As soon as the King of Lanling appeared, he immediately disappeared again. She watched as Mulan was surrounded by a shield of gas, and she was nervously looking around, trying to find herself again. According to him in the past, he would not hesitate to surprise and turn the female general in front of him into a corpse, but this time, he actually hesitated.
"What does that feel like?" it was the first time he had seen such a handsome woman. In the Great Wall, except for Garo, who guarded the Thousand Caves City, it seems that no woman has ever been willing to stay in this chaotic place.
"It's hard to be fresh, so why stop it so soon?" he comforted himself like this, perhaps the only thing he was willing to admit was that handsome face and resolute expression, which made his hands soft.
Hua Mulan listened to the sound of footsteps gradually moving away, knowing that the King of Lanling had fled, she withdrew her heavy sword with some distress, and sighed: "This ghost is still a ghost, how can it be trapped by me so easily?"
She remembered Di Renjie's instructions to herself, to gather the elite warriors in the Great Wall and form a core front with her to face unknown risks. Her father, General Hua Lao, had a definition of this kind of front - alliance.
"Alliance, maybe some people's purpose is not to defend the country like us, but they all want to protect this last barrier - the Great Wall. They're all going to join in, right?"
