In the depths of the forest, two people walked side by side, one of them carried a bow and arrows on his back, this person was Mu Lin, who was known as the divine archer among the twenty-four people, and the person next to him was the Holy Hand Fang Ru, and the two of them and Han Ling and Su Ying were the main forces of this trip.

"You say, when the world is calm, can we still walk together and chat together like we do now?"

Mu Lin said with some sadness.

"It must be possible, when the time comes, we will call a few of them, we will walk together, chat together, drink the most beautiful wine in the world together, and see the most beautiful scenery in the world"

Fang Ru turned his head and smiled at him, then turned to look ahead

"Do you remember when I was a kid when I went looking for medicine, I accidentally slipped and fell into the valley?"

"Of course I remember, at that time, I climbed down the valley and walked with you on my back for two days and two nights, at that time you thought you were going to die, and told me that you must be buried in the valley after you died, and then set up a monument to remind others, just afraid that someone would fall down while collecting medicine like you."

Fang Ru looked at Mu Lin and said, "Yes, I still remember that you scolded me fiercely at that time, and said that if I died, you would go and raze that valley, by the way, do you remember what your expression was like at that time?" ”

"What kind?" Mulin asked

"Such!" Fang Ru performed Mu Lin's expression at that time to the fullest.

Mu Lin's whole face suddenly darkened, "Fang Ru! Immediately, Fang Ru was hung on the trunk of the tree, and only Mu Lin clapped his hands in satisfaction and walked forward.

Alexandra Campus!

"We have the grain and grass, and then we just wait for the vanguard of the four major forces to come" Xiao Dingshan looked ahead, as if he had returned to the past, "It's really nostalgic!" He muttered, and the scenes of the past came to mind

"General! Our army of 100,000 soldiers and horses will recover the lost territory of Yunzhou,"

"Okay, inform the brothers, have a good meal in the evening to celebrate"

"General! The lost territory has been regained by our army

"Okay, brothers have worked hard'

"General! Our army has regained the lost territory,"

"Good"

"General, the forward of our army fell into the trap of the enemy and lost thousands of brothers"

"Sending the bodies of our fallen brothers back to their hometowns for burial and giving them more subsidies to their families is the only thing we can do for them."

"Yes"

"General! The lost land has been fully recovered, our army has 100,000 soldiers and horses, and in the battle of the lost land regained, 10,000 brothers have been sacrificed, and only 90,000 remained."

"Good"

"General, the enemy army has retreated to the frontier, and there is a possibility of invasion at any time"

"Got it, everyone listens to the order, please come with me to go to the frontier and guard the border pass"

"General, our army has died because of the water and soil, and many brothers have died"

"Okay, let the notice go down, let everyone adapt to the border environment as soon as possible, let the military doctors work a little harder, and think of a way"

"General! The border barbarians launched the first wave of attacks, and our army lost 10,000 brothers because of the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, and although the battle was held, it lost 10,000 brothers of our army."

"Bury the brothers who died on the battlefield"

"General! In the past three years, our army has held nearly 100 attacks on the border, and although it has been held, our army has lost nearly 40,000 brothers"

"Okay, the brothers are holding on, waiting for the imperial court to send troops to help, and then you can go back when you see your brother"

"General! In two years, our army has defended the border barbarians dozens of attacks, and now, our army only has 10,000 brothers, when will the reinforcements from the imperial court arrive? ”

"Brothers, hold on, I believe that the reinforcements of the imperial court will come back"

"General, in three months, the brothers have blocked the four attacks of the border barbarians, and now we only have a thousand brothers, and the border barbarians are about to attack again, has the court forgotten us" The soldier asked a little desperately

"No, we are staying here, not only to fulfill the entrustment, but more importantly, we also have to protect our people, family, this is what we can do, and we must do, so please join me to do a little bit for the land behind us, the people."

"General, we have defended it, our brothers have been killed, 90,000 soldiers and horses, in six years, we have held 150 attacks on the border, and now, 100,000 soldiers and horses, only two of us are left"

The general's face was full of fighting spirit, and although he was wearing torn armor and shoes, he couldn't stop the heroic spirit on his body.

"A man, no matter how incompetent, must at least guard two things, the family behind him, and the ground under his feet"

On the tower of the frontier, a general, a soldier, facing tens of thousands of border barbarians, the last guard, the border barbarians retreated, the soldiers sacrificed, the general was seriously injured and was rescued by the caravan, returned to the Central Plains, then the general knew that his country, as early as a few years ago, the general was disheartened, fortunately accompanied by the daughter of the caravan captain, since then, the general and the caravan captain's daughter away from the world, seclusion in the mountains and forests.

"Commander! They're back," Zhang Xun said as he walked up to Xiao Dingshan.

Hearing the voice, he returned to his thoughts and looked at Zhang Xun, "Got it, call them in!" ”

"Okay, come in!" Zhang Xun looked out the door and said.

Immediately, four people came in from outside the door, and the four of them came to Xiao Dingshan, knelt down on one knee and said, "Commander!" We've completed our mission, so I'm here to report."

"Arise, I am glad you are sorry"

"Commander Xie!" The four of them said in unison, and then got up together,

"You have fought with the soldiers of the four major forces, so now you can tell me, what do you say about the four major forces?" Xiao Dingshan asked

The four of them looked at each other, and finally Han Ling stood up first and replied, "Commander Qiqi!" I think their soldiers are very cautious, and if it weren't for our unique methods, we might not even be able to enter their doors and be discovered, so I think they should not be underestimated."

"Han Ling's words are reasonable" Zhang Xun walked out, looked at Xiao Dingshan and arched his hand and said, "The four major forces and the five empires belong to the same period of power, and they must not be underestimated, as can be seen from the five empires jointly attacking the four major forces back then, they will never be so simple, and according to age, they are about the same as the five emperors, and even the five emperors can't survive time, but they have survived"

He paused, and then said, "It can be seen from here alone that they are by no means simple, although we caught them off guard by surprise this time, but that's all, and in the future, it will only be more difficult for us to deal with them,"

"But I don't understand, why do we steal grain and grass, didn't the five countries give us grain and grass?" Shadow asked, looking at the crowd

"Yes, Zixuan said that at the beginning, but no one could see his helplessness at that time," Han Ling said

At this time, Zhang Xun looked at Xiao Dingshan, and after the two glanced at each other, Zhang Xun explained

"Don't think about it so much, just do your part"

"Okay, you've worked hard these days, go down and rest!" Xiao Dingshan said

"Yes!" The four of them walked out,

After they all went out, Zhang Xun looked at Xiao Dingshan, and the two of them looked at each other helplessly and smiled.

Chang'an City, Xuan Ge!

Liu Yiyi poured tea and left the room.

Zhou Ji picked up the tea and took a sip, then put down the teacup, looked at Lin Zixuan and asked

"Why did you stop me that day, don't you know their intentions?"

"Your Majesty, this matter is not as simple as you think, they are all foxes, and they want to get rid of their henchmen, and they don't want to waste their resources" Zixuan looked at Zhou Ji and continued

"Your Majesty, you think, if you were against them at that time, it would inevitably make them suspicious of you, and Your Majesty, you should focus more on the future than now."

Zhou Ji looked at Zixuan, "However, if there is no food and grass, how can the soldiers fight against the four major forces,"

When Zi Xuan heard this, he chuckled and said, "Hmph, there is no grain and grass, can we borrow it?" ”

"To borrow?" Zhou Ji wondered

Zixuan glanced outside, "Count it, because it should be these two days"

A pigeon flew from a distance and landed on a pavilion in the Xuan Pavilion, and a man walked up to the pigeon, removed the creed from the pigeon's feet, and walked towards a room

"It's a letter," the man handed the letter in his hand to Liu Yiyi, who was guarding the door.

"Good! You're busy," took the creed, Liu Yiyi turned around and knocked on the door

Knock knock!

"Come in!" Zixuan's voice came.

Liu Yiyi looked at Zixuan and said, "Lishan has sent a letter."

took the creed and opened it to see, Zixuan showed an expected look, and handed the creed in his hand to Zhou Ji, "Your Majesty, please take a look!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Ji took the creed and opened it, "Really! Zhou Ji asked in surprise.

"Of course" Zixuan looked at Zhou Ji and nodded.

"Haha, now, they're going to slap their faces" Zhou Ji stood up happily.

Seeing him like this, Zixuan knew what he was thinking, and said randomly

"Your Majesty, I know what you think, but Your Majesty must not ridicule the lords of the four countries on this matter."

"Why not?" Zhou Ji wondered

"One,

If you mock them about it, they will wonder why you know it, and they will wonder about us.

At such times, we should try to keep a low profile, in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles.

If they know our strength, they may come up with some way, or they are secretly jealous in their hearts, which will be very unfavorable to us in the future.

Our military strength is only one-fifth of the four major forces, and they themselves have an overwhelming advantage in terms of strength, and besides, even if we are not weak, the four major forces are not short of strong people, and if we arouse the suspicion of the four lords in the future, we will be attacked by the enemy at that time, and the situation will be even worse."

"What Mr. said is, I was impulsive," Zhou Ji showed a look of shame.

Zixuan arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the four lords of the country, please leave it to you"

"Okay, don't worry, sir!" After saying that, Zhou Ji left.

"How can an emperor talk to his subordinates in such a tone, Brother Zixuan, your vision is really not comparable to ordinary people," Liu Yiyi said

Zixuan looked out the window and didn't speak.
