The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting.

Although the winter in Bozhou is covered with snow, it is now late spring, and the Taibai Mountains, which are covered with snow all year round, are stingy and do not even show a trace of spring to the world.

On a narrow snow trail that was not a road, the White Raccoon Dog Battalion and the Hirata Army marched slowly like a thin line.

Liu Yi and Xia Xiao, after laughing, continued the topic of Fang Cai.

Xia Xiao continued the topic of Fang Cai and continued, "In the eyes of the people of the world, the border armies of the Quartet, especially the border army in the north, have the strongest fronts and the strongest combat power; The western and southern border armies followed. ”

Speaking of this, Xia Xiao paused, and said helplessly, "And the Fifth Army of the Eastern Territory, because of the weakness of the Goguryeo Kingdom, has no soldiers to fight all the year round, in the eyes of the world, our Fifth Army of the Eastern Border is a group of grass soldiers and reckless men, and they cannot climb the hall of elegance!" ”

Liu Yi is extremely smart, Xia Xiao only pointed three points in his words, but he already has insight into the overall situation, the young man raised his lips and said with a smile, "So, Captain Xia, you staged a ten-sided ambush to show the military might of the Taibai Army?" ”

Xia Xiao was expressionless and let out a 'hmm'.

Liu Yi looked at the mountains from afar and said softly, "Captain Xia, do you know that freezing three feet is not a day's cold!" If you want to truly justify the name of the Five Armies in the East, you still need to build meritorious deeds on the battlefield! ”

Xia Xiao's face was expressionless, and he said softly 'um' again.

Seeing that Xia Xiao was not very interested, Liu Yi only thought that he was tired by the eyes of the world, so he looked at Xia Xiao with a smile and said, "Captain Xia, is this because of this?" ”

Xia Xiao's eyes flickered, and he said categorically, "That's it!" ”

Liu Yi didn't care about Xia Xiao's hesitation, and laughed, "Then my Pingtian Army and I are going to slaughter Captain Xia for a big meal!" ”

Xia Xiao also smiled and said, "It is my honor to invite Liu Quansheng's son to a banquet." To be able to invite the soldiers of the Hirata Army to drink bitterly, that is the honor of my raccoon dog camp. ”

After hearing this, Liu Yi immediately retorted with a smile, "Captain Xia, what you invited is Liu Yi, the pillar of the future country!" ”

After that, Liu Yi slapped Sai Chitu's buttocks and rode away.

Xia Xiao looked at the thin back and exclaimed, "In this world, only young people can't be bullied!" ”

......

The white raccoon dog military camp is built in a hidden halfway up the mountainside, surrounded by layers of cedars, which is very hidden. Xia Xiao borrowed snow to melt ice and formed a natural wall. The tents are covered with snow, and they are scattered and difficult to find during the day, and if the barracks do not catch fire at night, they will become one with the snow-capped mountains.

According to Xia Xiao's introduction, the white raccoon dog battalion reorganizes its armament in the mountains on weekdays, and there are no open fires, and the soldiers are fed and clothed, all in underground tunnels.

After everyone came to the white raccoon dog barracks, Liu Yi couldn't help but be surprised, and begged Xia Xiao to lead him to visit the secret passage, Xia Xiao happily agreed, next to an extremely ordinary old pine next to the barracks, through a special technique to beat the snow, a series of sounds of machine brackets came from under the snow, and then magically bounced open a piece of wood buried deep in the snow, under the wooden board there is a hole with a long and wide board, and under the closer look, there seems to be a glimmer of light.

Under the leadership of Xia Xiao, Liu Yi and Qiao Miaoqing went down the ladder, and at first glance, they couldn't help but amaze Liu Yi.

The dark passage under the white raccoon dog barracks, the whole presents a ring-shaped, can accommodate two people walking side by side, in the dark passage, five steps set up a torch, twenty steps set up a charcoal stove, thirty steps set up a storage room, fifty steps there is a barracks.

Twenty steps alongside the charcoal stove, two soldiers took turns on duty; In the storage room set up every thirty steps, there are complete grain, grass and weapons, and even horse troughs, war horses and some medium-sized siege ordnance; Each barracks can accommodate 40 people to rest, and the beds and bedding in the barracks are complete, and there are charcoal fires to accompany the warmth.

It is worth noting that each barracks has a small partition, and according to Xia Xiao, opening the partition can lead to all directions of the Taibai Mountains.

What amazed Liu Yi the most was that in all the storage rooms in the entire dark passage, there were flax, fire oil, saltpeter and other fire-causing things, Xia Xiao explained to Liu Yi flatly, "If one day, the war resumes, if the white raccoon dog camp is defeated, it will fire up the tunnel, and die with the enemy in the dark tunnel!" ”

Liu Yi was silent, and after a long time, he came to his senses, looked directly at Xia Xiao, and bowed deeply, "The righteousness of the white raccoon dog camp is beyond the reach of the younger generations!" ”

Xia Xiao accepted the salute calmly, with a rich expression on his face, and finally showed a sad expression.

......

Trisong County was very poor, which can be seen from the food of the border army.

However, although the daily dishes of the white raccoon dog camp are poor, they can be blessed by the Taibai Mountains, but the meat is extremely rich, and after Liu Yi visited the secret road, Xia Xiao invited everyone to the middle tent, and the moment the tent was opened, an impala, which had been roasted on the outside and tender on the inside, was placed in front of the hungry people.

Liu Yi was very surprised in his heart, it seemed that Xia Xiao seemed to be prepared for the arrival of everyone.

The panic in Liu Yi's eyes flashed away, and he forced himself to cheer himself up: Whatever, he is now strong and strong, he is a strong dragon, so I don't believe that he Xia Xiao dares to do anything.

After the ceremony, sit down, make tea, and share food.

The atmosphere of joy and harmony gradually rises in the sake and delicacies.

At this moment, he understood with a smile on his face, "The mountains do not envy the green quinoa, only the wine and meat should be cherished." Everyone, please drink! ”

Liu Yi sat in the second place, forcing a smile.

Just now, thinking of Xia Xiao's series of abnormal behaviors and changes in expression, Liu Yi noticed that Xia Xiao seemed to have a secret buried deep in his heart, a secret about himself, and this secret could even affect his life and death.

For coming here rashly, Liu Yi was annoyed in his heart at the moment, and began to sit on pins and needles.

Liu Yi didn't want to be a grasshopper on a hot pot, and the matter had come to this point, Liu Yi's heart was crossed, and he decided to cut the mess quickly.

So, when Liu Yi took advantage of Xia Xiao's persuasion to drink, he got up with the bowl, stood with his hands in his hands, and grinned, "I said Captain Xia, a meal of kindness, you Ying Guiyan knows it, and I Pingtian Jun naturally knows it." However, we waited for the life of Captain Xia, who first trapped me with a big net, surrounded me with a group of soldiers, and then tested me with martial arts, and then treated me with hospitality. ”

Then, Liu Yi brought the wine bowl to Xia Xiao, did not squint, looked directly at Xia Xiao, and said slowly, "Captain Xia, what do you want, but it doesn't hurt to say it at this moment!" ”

"Haha! Liu Pingtian and I are eight or nine years apart, but our minds are young and old, far beyond my reach, and I deserve to be Liu Quansheng's son. I hid it a lot, but Liu Pingtian still saw the flaw. ”

When Xia Xiao said this, Liu Yi's heart sank, and a bad premonition spread in his heart.

Thinking about it, Liu Yi glanced at Qiao Miaoqing diagonally opposite, and Xiao Jiaoniang understood and secretly held down the knife soldier.

Xia Xiao took a sip of sake, his eyes were like blades, and said, "Someone offered five thousand taels of gold to sell your head." ”

"Oh?" After knowing the truth, Liu Yi settled down and asked calmly, "Then why didn't you kill suddenly?" Is it because the knife in the snow is not fast enough? Or do you want to hide people's eyes and ears, and you must bring us here to kill you? ”

Xia Xiao was silent, as if he was weighing the pros and cons, and the atmosphere in the tent had dropped to freezing point.

After a long while, Xia Xiao got up, unloaded his armor and said, "Whether this money is collected or not, in me, whether this person is killed or not, it is you!" ”

Liu Yi's eyebrows stirred, "I want to hear about it!" ”

The quiet needle drop in the field can be heard, at this moment Qiao Miaoqing, Wang Dali, Mu Xiao, and Su Daoyun have all held down the sword soldiers, and the four of them are equivalent to Xia Xiao's realm, if Xia Xiao has evil intentions, the four of them are completely sure to kill Xia Xiao on the spot, and at the same time escort Liu Yi, Xia Qing, and Li Erniu to escape safely.

There was also a small sound outside the tent, and it seemed that the soldiers of the white raccoon dog camp had secretly ambushed around the big tent.

Xia Xiao was unmoved by the changes around him, and there was even a hint of contempt in his eyes, and he said with a smile, "You don't have to be so guarded, if you want to kill you, it's not too late!" ”

The little lady lost her temper, "Do you really think that our realm is useless?" ”

Xia Xiao laughed angrily, "Do you really think that the thousand soldiers of my white raccoon dog camp are incompetent?" ”

At swords' points!

It is already the realm of pushing the monument, and Su Daoyun, who has the potential to break the city, is the closest to Xia Xiao. I saw his tiger fist clenched, his eyes squinted, for Xia Xiao, who was one realm lower than him, he was still very sure that he would kill with one blow.

Sensing this murderous aura, Xia Xiao smiled and shook the wine bowl in his hand, "There is poison in the tea, but there is no wine, just now, all you drink is tea, and only me, I drink wine!" ”

Xia Qing glanced at Liu Yi, a little complaining about his rashness, but he didn't take any action, and there was even an inexplicable light in his eyes, it seemed that only he really understood all of Xia Xiao's thoughts at this moment.

Xia Xiao saw the detail of removing his armor just now, and Xia Qing saw it clearly, which is also the reason why he had no fear, let me ask: How could a general who had removed his armor pull out his sword again?

With Liu Yi's cleverness, he shouldn't have been unaware, but being in this mountain, it's just ugly to see things in the mountains!

In the tent, Wang Dali listened to what Xia Xiao said, and said a northeastern dialect to Liu Yi, "My lord, let's finish our calves!" Ask someone to serve a pot! ”

Liu Yi asked horizontally, "In today's situation, people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, Captain Xia, what should you do?" It doesn't hurt to be straight! ”

Xia Xiao didn't answer Liu Yi's question, but asked, "You avenged the revenge of the Ram Village?" ”

Liu Yi's brows furrowed, and he said categorically, "Yes!" And how? ”

Xia Xiao raised his eyebrows, "I heard that the bloody case of Ram Village was done by the guards sent by the Jiangzhou Pastoral Office in Quzhou." Do you dare to kill too? ”

Liu Yi angrily fought the bull and asked rhetorically, "He is a human being, and I am also a human being, why can't I kill him?" He did something wrong, I didn't do anything wrong, why not kill? If I don't stand up for others today, who will stand up for me when I will be in trouble tomorrow? ”

"Oh! I see! ”

Xia Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief, shook the wine bowl in his hand, waved his hand, and said to Liu Yi meaningfully, "If the sun is about to rise today, the light seems to be unseen, I don't want to be a hero, I don't want to be a sinner, there is no poison in the wine, let's go!" The road ahead, you can do it yourself. ”

Liu Yi panicked that Xia Xiao changed his mind, and did not ask Xia Xiao for the reason, the young man did not dare to hesitate for a moment, and immediately said goodbye and left.

The horse galloped for half a mile, and when he saw his own Pingtian sergeants stationed at the foot of the mountain, Liu Yi's mind was a little calm.

He turned his horse's head and looked at the white raccoon dog barracks that he couldn't see anymore, his mind quickly became active, and he always felt that something was wrong, so he called Qiao Miaoqing and Su Daoyun, intending to explore the white raccoon dog barracks again.

Xia Qing followed silently and said with a smile, "Boy, just out of the tiger's den, and you want to go back?" ”

"Some things, it's better to explain them clearly and ask them clearly! Otherwise, my heart will always be terrified. ”

Liu Yi replied, Xia Qing nodded in agreement, and followed all the way.

Several people returned to the white raccoon dog barracks, just close to the big tent of the Chinese army, they listened to the undulating wails in the tent, Liu Yi hurriedly entered the tent, the people who saw the tent and the tent, all covered their faces and wept, on the top of the position, Xia Xiao sat upright, the blood flowed in his mouth, and there was no one to rest.

Liu Yi hurriedly pulled up the deputy general with a painful expression and asked the reason.

The adjutant general was sad and sentimental, and thought to himself, "A month ago, someone promised gold Houlu, saying that Liu Pingtian would not come soon, and asked his brother to kill him, but the brother did not allow it, and the person threatened the families of the soldiers of the whole battalion of the white raccoon dog battalion. ”

Xia Xiao's secret was gradually revealed layer by layer.

The deputy general of the white raccoon dog battalion cried bitterly, "Who knows, who knows that General Mo's reply has not waited, you are here with the Hirata Army, my brother can't afford to offend that big man, and he can't bear to kill Zhongliang, let alone involve General Mo." Therefore, so Fang just fought happily, just waited with you at the banquet, and committed suicide by taking poisoned wine. ”

Liu Yi's brain was like being struck by a thunderbolt, and he was stunned on the spot.

It turns out that what is poisonous is not tea, but wine!

"Lord Liu, Captain Xia, is also from Ram Village!"

The adjutant general's words were really deafening.

"It turns out that what is not poisonous is tea, and what is poisonous is wine. Tea is a tribute to others, and wine is given to oneself. Liu Yi sat paralyzed on the ground, as if crying, grinning, "In this line, there are too many people who have died in vain!" ”

"Slap", Xia Qing slapped Liu Yi on the forehead, very heavy, very heavy!

This slap directly recalled Liu Yi, who was still confused.

Xia Qing's voice was like a bell, and he reprimanded, "Liu Yi, don't forget, why did you walk out of Wangnan Tower in the first place!" Now that you have come out, you must have the ruthlessness of killing and the consciousness of being killed, and you must have the courage of sacrificing and being sacrificed, hurry up and wake up! ”

Liu Yi's mind was still blank, he stared at Xia Qing with empty eyes, and asked helplessly, "Xia, Boss Xia, now, what should I do?" ”

"Could it be that I'm Rei Hirata?" Xia Qing glanced at Liu Yi, "What should I do, you think about it yourself, if you don't understand, go back to Wangnan Tower!" ”

Liu Yi's lips moved slightly, and then he crawled to Xia Xiao's side, and saw Xia Xiao's last words on the table, with a few numbers written in square italics: I would like to be lonely and change the light candle.

Subsequently, the young Liu Yi cried bitterly, "Sad! Captain Xia is a soldier who is worth his life, and he sacrifices his life for the kid, and now the king goes west, the world is sad, the grass and trees are desolate, and the snow is too white and moving, which is really a big bad thing for the red pine! ”

The words are sincere, the expressions are full of grief, and everyone who watches them sighs!

The entire barracks were moved by Liu Yi's sincerity!

......

After some comfort, Liu Yi and others left the camp.

On the way back, Xia Qing asked with a smile, "Boy, you were crying Xia Xiao just now, is it true or false?" ”

Liu Yi breathed a long sigh of relief, "Half-truth!" ”

Xia Qing nodded and said, "Fang Cai, in the big tent of the Chinese army in the white raccoon dog camp, you have indeed taken the most appropriate solution to the situation. The children can be taught! ”

Liu Yi was depressed and said with a wry smile, "Boss Xia, don't make fun of me!" ”

While the two were chatting, in the white raccoon dog barracks in the middle of the mountain, loud shouts came out in unison, "Liu Pingtian, once he is useful, if he asks for something in the future, the white raccoon dog camp will never give up!" ”

Liu Yi's eyes were full of crystal light in an instant.

Look down at the school, the snow has not disappeared, and the sky is full of spring!

Looking at spring on the side, spring has not arrived, and the sad snow is full of rivers!

Some people died, but not completely......
