Following.

Under Zhao Ping's orders, the cavalry killed the horses and replenished supplies.

Night.

Around the campfire, the soldiers chewed the horse meat, with no expression on their faces, but they all knew in their hearts that tomorrow would be the most critical battle!

Win and they will be able to move all the way to reclaim Jiannan Dao.

If you lose, you will be slumped and trapped to death by dry people.

Therefore.

Everyone is mentally prepared for a bloody battle with the enemy tomorrow!

Minutes and seconds passed.

In the blink of an eye, it was the second day.

120,000 men came to the towering city wall, and under the leadership of the commander, they launched another charge.

On the city wall, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion saw this scene and immediately realized that this was the enemy's last counterattack, and as long as they held it, the victory would belong to them!

The low sound of a horn resounded in the sky.

The artillery constantly emitted a deafening sound, like a thunderous thunder.

Hideous faces, bloody swords, smoke and dust, and terrible horns.

The entire wall was enveloped in the fierce aura of fighting.

The banner that hunted in the wind was already broken, as if it would fall in an instant.

Above and below the city walls, dead bodies lay on the ground, bleeding profusely.

The rich smell of blood mixed with the pungent smell of gunpowder filled the air and was disgusting.

The war continues.

The fight continues.

I don't know how long it took.

The sun sets, sprinkling a blood-red sunset.

Zhao Ping's soldiers wiped their eyes that were covered in a lake of blood.

Looking at the corpses everywhere, the fear that had been eliminated once again came to my heart, and I couldn't help but have the idea of retreating.

The thunderous artillery continues.

Finally, they could no longer suppress the fear in their hearts and retreated.

The battle lasted from sunrise to sunset, and ended in the defeat of the besieging side.

This retreat means that Zhao Ping and the 200,000 troops under him have been completely reduced to fish and meat on the eucalyptus board, and can only be slaughtered!

Just two days later.

Zhao Ping sent people to Jing'an City to negotiate with Bai Qi and discuss matters after the surrender.

In his opinion, he still has seventy or eighty thousand men under his command, which is enough to use as capital for negotiations.

It's just that.

Bai Qi did not choose to negotiate with him, nor did he accept his surrender.

Jing'an City and Anren Mansion, the two sides formed a flanking attack, and it only took less than seven days to completely annihilate Zhao Ping and the remnants of his defeated generals, leaving no one alive!

The 200,000 troops of the Zhou State were all annihilated by Bai Qi!

Count the days.

From the time they left Jing'an City to the annihilation of the entire army, it was only a short twelve days!

When the news came back to Da Zhou, the whole country was shocked!

This moment.

Emperor Zhou finally realized that the Qianguo is not what it used to be, and if he does not go all out, the Great Zhou is very likely to be destroyed and destroyed!

............

The other side.

In the city of Chang'an.

The news of Bai Qi's total annihilation of 200,000 troops has not yet spread.

Night.

A silver moon hangs high in the sky, starry, and beautiful.

A gentle evening breeze blows through the Xiangguo Mansion.

A white shadow appeared outside Fang Xiu's house.

on the bed.

Yang Yuhuan, who was dressed in blue obscene clothes, curled up in Fang Xiu's arms, his watery peach blossom eyes, staring at the handsome face in front of him.

Although Fang Xiu had promised before, his wish would be fulfilled in a year.

But at the last moment, Fang Xiu still couldn't bear to do it, and only allowed her to sleep by his side occasionally.

After each Fang Xiu fell asleep.

Yang Yuhuan would open his eyes, take a good look at Fang Xiu for a while, and then fall asleep contentedly.

This time.

Yang Yuhuan looked at Fang Xiu as usual, stretched out his hand to wrap his arm, and shrunk into his arms, his pretty face was slightly red, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.

Time passed, her face showed a coquettish color, her pink lips touched Fang Xiu's face, and she returned to her place, ready to rest.

This time.

A casual glance made her eyes widen, her mouth opened slightly, and she subconsciously let out a sharp shout.

"Hell!"

Yang Yuhuan looked at the white shadow outside through the window, and his heart was pounding.

Side.

Fang Xiu woke up from his dream, opened his eyes, looked at Yang Yuhuan, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Yang Yuhuan's petite body threw himself into Fang Xiu's arms, his eyes fluttering with tears in fright, and his voice trembled.

"Xiang, Xiangye, there is a ghost ...... outside"

Fang Xiu frowned slightly, looked out the window, and through the window, he could see a white figure, looming.

At a glance, he recognized the person outside the door.

He pinched his eyebrows helplessly and said, "Come in." ”

The voice fell.

The door slowly opened.

A familiar figure stood at the door, wearing a white robe and holding a folding fan in his hand, dressed in a heroic posture and graceful manner.

It is Fang Xiu's right-hand man, the owner of the first village, Shangguan Haitang.

"Xiangye, the slave family is so scared, woo woo woo ......"

Yang Yuhuan didn't seem to know Shangguan Haitang, he didn't look at her from beginning to end, just buried his head in Fang Xiu's arms, sobbing pitifully.

"Don't be afraid, it's Begonia."

Fang Xiu stretched out his hand to caress her back and comforted her softly.

Yang Yuhuan still looked frightened, his eyes were full of tears, his long eyelashes were constantly trembling, and his little head was tightly pressed against his chest, trembling.

When Shangguan Haitang saw this scene, although there was no expression on his face, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Before he could speak, he heard Yang Yuhuan sobbing pitifully:

"Phase...... Xiangye...... The slave family is really scared of ......"

"Today...... Can you hug the slave family tonight......"

The corners of Shangguan Haitang's mouth twitched again, and he said in his heart, it's almost enough, you can hear the abacus in your heart from so far away!

Fang Xiu didn't say anything, just hugged her, coaxed her, then looked at Shangguan Haitang and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Shangguan Haitang bowed and replied: "There is news from Jiannan Dao that the 200,000 people sent by the Zhou State have been wiped out by Bai Qi!" In a month at most, Bai Qi will be able to capture all the provinces of Jianbei Province! ”

In Fang Xiu's eyes, not to mention capturing the small Jianbei Dao, even if it was to capture the entire Great Zhou, it would not be difficult for Bai Qi.

Therefore, he didn't show too much surprise, just nodded and said, "Got it." ”

"Retire from your duties."

Shangguan Haitang saluted again, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait."

Fang Xiu called out to her, and said curiously, "What were you standing outside the door doing just now?" ”

Hearing this question, Shangguan Haitang looked at Yang Yuhuan with a somewhat strange expression.

At this moment, she wanted to say that she didn't knock on the door so as not to disturb someone's self-entertainment.

But seeing Yang Yuhuan's flushed face and slightly pleading eyes, he still hid what he saw just now in his heart, and replied: "I'm afraid of disturbing your rest......

Fang Xiu said: "In the future, as long as it is something that you think is important, you can report it to the prime minister at any time, don't worry too much." ”

"Yes! Master! ”

Shangguan Haitang responded.

Fang Xiu sat on the bed, thought for a while, and asked, "Li Yingyue has any abnormal behavior tonight?" ”

Tomorrow is Qingming, with Li Yinyue's personality after waking up, maybe something will be done.

Shangguan Haitang hesitated for a moment and replied truthfully: "She has been sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard tonight. ”

"What else?"

"It's gone."

When Fang Xiu heard this, he was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Got it, you go back and rest." ”

"Retire from your duties!"

After Shangguan Haitang saluted, he turned around and left.

Fang Xiu was lying on the bed, and for some reason, he remembered Li Yinyue's pitiful appearance and clear eyes when he first woke up.

There was silence for a while.

Fang Xiu got up from the bed.

On the side, seeing this, Yang Yuhuan seemed to have guessed Fang Xiu's thoughts, and then got up, and said in a crisp and pleasant voice: "Xiangye, the slave family serves you to change your clothes." ”

Fang Xiu stretched out his hand and stroked her little head, and said, "You rest, I'll go back as soon as I go." ”

Yang Yuhuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he still didn't open his mouth after all.

Just picked up the clothes, dressed Fang Xiu neatly, and said softly:

"Xiangye wants to come back early, Yunu is afraid ......"

Fang Xiu looked at her beautiful face, a warm current surged through his heart, he lowered his head and kissed her lightly on her white forehead, leaned over to her ear, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, come back and give you a massage to soothe your emotions......"

"Phase...... Xiangye ......"

Yang Yuhuan's good-looking peach blossom eyes looked at Fang Xiu, a little incredulous, and thought that he had heard it wrong.

Seeing Fang Xiu's soft eyes, he realized that he had heard correctly.

The white face turned red with a brush, his breathing couldn't help but become short, and his heartbeat was faster than when he saw Shangguan Haitang before.

Look at the handsome face in front of you.

Her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, she gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and asked in a trembling voice: "Is the massage that Xiangye said the kind of slave family thinks?" ”

Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "How do you massage yourself on weekdays, and how to massage you later." ”

It turns out that Xiangye knows it......

Yang Yuhuan's delicate face was red as if it was about to drip blood, and there was mist in the peach blossom eyes.

He lowered his head in shame and did not dare to speak.

After a while, he mustered up his courage and said in a trembling voice: "Xiangye will come back early......"

Fang Xiu touched her little head, didn't say anything more, pushed open the door and walked out.

Come to the courtyard next door.

Sure enough, I saw Li Yinyue, who was wearing an ink-colored long dress, sitting on a stone bench, with her face slightly raised, looking at the night sky.

Fang Xiu followed her line of sight and raised his eyes.

The night sky is like an endless sea.

The moon hangs high.

Starry-studded.

Look at it.

Fang Xiu's eyes showed a hint of flickering.

It's been more than a year since he came to this world, and it's the first time he's admired the night sky.

It felt like the world he was living in.

It's just that there are more stars, and the night sky is even more gorgeous.

This time.

Li Yinyue, who was sitting on the stone bench, had already noticed that someone had appeared.

When I turned my head to look, I saw a tall figure standing in the doorway, just like her just now, looking up at the night sky.

I don't know why.

From Fang Xiu's eyes.

She read emotions similar to her own.

"Does he also have a place to miss, a person to miss?"

Li Yinyue looked at Fang Xiu, her long eyelashes fluttered, she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to speak.

That's when it happened.

A magnetic voice broke the silence.

"The Avatar is here just to tell you that you don't have to please the Avatar."

When Li Yingyue heard this, she was slightly stunned, and after realizing the meaning of his words, she was silent for a moment, and replied in a cold voice: "I didn't want to please you." ”

YY

Fang Xiu glanced at her and didn't refute, just said: "I should let you go, the original appearance will let you go, it shouldn't let you go, no matter what you do, the original appearance will not let you go." ”

Li Yingyue really wanted to say, what is called "I should let you go", I am a free person, it is you who are unreasonable and imprison me here!

On second thought, people are under the eaves, and there is no point in dwelling on this.

There was silence for a moment, and a mum was given in response.

Fang Xiu looked at her, wanting to say something, but felt that it was unnecessary, so he just said, "Rest early, and strive to live until the day you leave Xiangguo Mansion." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving her with only a cold back.

Li Yingyue sat on the stone bench, looking at his back, feeling a little inexplicable.

At this time, he should have fallen asleep, why did he run to himself and say if he had it.

"Could it be...... He knew that I was sitting here, and he was afraid that I would not be able to think about it and do something to hurt himself, so he deliberately came here to take a look around and take a look at me? ”

That's it.

Li Yingyue's good-looking phoenix eyes lit up slightly, and she felt that her efforts during this period of time had paid off.

Although he didn't eat the pastries that were given to him, they also made some changes in him.

After all.

If it had been put in the past, even if he had stood in the courtyard all night without clothes, he would not have paid attention.

Li Yingyue thought of this, a touch of joy appeared between her eyebrows, and she secretly encouraged herself:

"If you work harder, you will be one step closer to leaving Xiangguo Mansion!"

The breeze is blowing.

A heart gradually calmed down.

She raised her eyes and glanced at the night, and her original thoughts and sorrows were inexplicably washed away.

Tomorrow Qingming, although I can't see my father, mother and brother, but I sent a letter, which can be regarded as leaving them with thoughts.

"Father, mother, next year, I will definitely be by your side!"

With such a belief.

Li Yinyue's eyes became more and more determined, thinking about how to further attack Fang Xiu's defense.

The other side.

As soon as Fang Xiu returned to the house, he saw Yang Yuhuan lying on the bed, his big watery eyes blinking, and his crimson little face showing anticipation, so he almost said: Xiangye, come quickly......

“......”

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he felt a little funny, and he felt a little cute.

Although Yang Yuhuan does something on weekdays, he is wholeheartedly devoted to his kindness, without the slightest distraction, and does not ask for the slightest return.

In the eyes of others, this is a refreshing little green tea, but here in Fang Xiu, she is a good sister who is empathetic.

Although I still can't bear to do it, it's nothing to give her a little sweetness.

Fang Xiu thought so, lay down on the bed, hugged the petite Yang Yuhuan in his arms, and whispered something softly in her ear.

Yang Yuhuan's pretty face was crimson, and he only felt like an electric current was surging in his heart, and he was numb for a while.

Fang Xiu pinched her small and delicate jade feet and massaged them for a while.

Yang Yuhuan felt that the strength of his whole body was drained, and he shrank into Fang Xiu's arms, unable to make a sound.

"Okay......"

After a while, Yang Yuhuan pressed Fang Xiu's hands, withdrew his jade feet, and said with a red face: "Thank you, Xiangye......"

Fang Xiu chuckled, touched her little head, and said comfortingly, "Sleep." ”

"Hmm."

Yang Yuhuan nodded, his little face was full of happiness, he shrank into Fang Xiu's arms, and fell asleep after a while.

Fang Xiu reclined on the bed, looking at the moonlight outside the window, but he couldn't sleep for a long time.
