The front line of Yinshan is full of ravines, digging earth and building walls, and the seven-foot-high earthen walls connect one mountain peak after another.

Among them, the valley with low terrain, where soldiers and horses come and go frequently, can see a wide city, the city walls are strong, and the number of enemy towers and beacon towers is very large.

This is a fortress built by the North on the Yinshan front, and a total of seven such fortresses were built for garrisoning troops and storing grain and horses.

"Drive!" A black-armored general rode towards the city, holding the reins in his left hand and an unkempt man in his right.

The black-armored general pulled out a bronze mirror from his waist, raised it above his head and shook it, and the closed city gate opened inward.

He carried the unkempt man to the city wall, and when he saw a general in golden armor, he knelt down on one knee and arched his hand: "Dashuai, I just caught it, and I want to use intelligence to save my life." ”

"Say, spare you from death." General Jin Jia turned his head, his face was neat, his eyebrows and eyes were heroic, it was Chen Kongkong.

The black-armored general punched the unkempt man in the abdomen and said coldly, "Tell me honestly." ”

The unkempt man curled up, foaming at the mouth, he looked at Chen Kongkong, his eyes recovered from the daze, "Great, my lord, King Nurhachi is training his troops, they are catching strong men in the small tribe and robbing us of salt and iron. Our tribe can't survive at all, and is willing to take refuge in the adults and beg the adults to take them in. ”

Chen Kongkong looked at the black armor general and said, "Let him live, send five hundred cattle and sheep to buy his life, and the matter of belonging will be discussed after the war is over." ”

"No." The Black Armor General replied.

Chen Kongkong stretched out his hand and ordered the two soldiers, "You two come out of the queue and escort him down." Zhang Heng, you stay for a while. ”

Two soldiers walked down the wall with the unkempt man's arm, and the black-armored general stood in place.

"What do you think?" Chen Kongkong asked.

Zhang Heng arched his hand and said: "The last general thinks that King Xirong's training must be preparing for war, and salt and iron are the rigid needs of the army. ”

King Nurhachi is a name among the barbarians, and most people in the Central Plains call him King Xirong.

"That's right, take off the black helmet, you stay in the city for a few days," Chen Kongkong walked to the battlement, looking at the north outside the mountains, "This year is a little strange, the barbarian movements are very big throughout the autumn, and the big battles have been fought two or three times, it stands to reason that the winter is the time for both sides to recuperate, but the rangers of the King of Xirong have frequently harassed the iron mines on the east side of the Yin Mountain, which has seriously affected the daily production. ”

Chen Kongkong's brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "You say, is it possible that King Xirong wants to launch a large-scale battle in winter?" ”

Zhang Heng took off his black helmet and said: "It shouldn't be, fighting in winter is a taboo for soldiers, the heavy snow closes the road, and it is difficult to march and transport food. ”

Chen Kong's head was empty, and he said in a deep voice: "It makes sense, that is, he really wants to fight, then this is the best time, there is no need to delay any longer." But why did he arrest people and train soldiers? ”

Zhang Heng guessed: "I heard that in recent years, there has been a lot of stalemate between several large tribes of the barbarians, and some tribes will send troops to attack in winter, could it be that the training is to defend against other tribes?" ”

"No, the decision wasn't that simple." Chen Kongkong's face was solemn, and she always had an ominous premonition in her heart.

"You know the language of the barbarians, I'll give you a matter, I organized a group of people, you take them to the grassland to investigate, focusing on the city built by those traders, where it is safer and can find out more information."

"No," Zhang Heng agreed, but there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, and he asked, "I remember that there is a saucer in charge of this matter in the bookstore?" The handsome can make them ......"

Zhang Heng's words stopped here, and Chen Kongkong's increasingly cold face made him so nervous that he couldn't speak.

Chen Kongkong said coldly: "Don't ask, go ahead." ”

Zhang Heng nodded heavily and hurriedly walked down the city wall.

Chen Kongkong looked at the direction of the grassland alone, the snow was flying, and the recent weather always fell for an hour or two of snow from time to time, she suddenly moved, and looked back at the southwest, which was the direction of Xuejin City.

She had a premonition in her heart that King Xirong was waiting for an opportunity, and at this moment, in the northern land, the most likely to be in chaos was Xuejin City, where the wind and clouds gathered.

……

Seojin City, a wide and beautiful courtyard, has a "Qin" character hanging on the door plaque.

A man in brocade is chased by a broom, the owner of which is a beautiful woman.

"Qin Wu! Who got you back? I got you back? Who let you into this house? Ning Hao waved his broom, with a gesture that he would not stop until he drove Qin Wu out of the house.

"Get out, you are not welcome in my house, if you want to stay forcibly, then I, I will move out!"

There was a "pop" sound, and this time Qin Wu didn't avoid it, and the broom hit him in the face.

"Hey, are you stupid? You'd better dodge, forget it, you don't like to dodge, anyway, you're rough and thick-skinned. Ning Hao gasped and threw the broom on the ground, looking at Qin Wu's eyes full of indignation.

Qin Wupestle was in place, and said with a wry smile: "There will be a big change in Xuejin City, I am worried about you and want to come and pick you up." With the strength of my mountaintop martial arts, no one in Seokjin City can stop me now, and neither can the Pavilion Elders. ”

Ning Hao frowned and shouted, "Ahh Coming with you? I don't want to suffer the grievances of the upheaval and displacement, I live well in Xuejin City, it's your business if you want to leave, I won't go with you. Don't think that you're a mountaintop warrior and you're not a wreck, and you're not a wreck who can't protect anything. ”

"Can you please stop making trouble!" Qin Wu was angry, suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Ning Hao's arm, and said fiercely: "I'm not joking with you, something big will definitely happen in Xuejin City, you are my wife, how many people you stay in Xuejin City will hit your body, I will definitely take you away." ”

"Am I making trouble? You say I'm making trouble? Ning Hao shook off Qin Wu's hand and said angrily: "If you have the ability, you will leave me, what kind of tongue power do you have with me, if you don't leave, you won't leave, what do you like!" ”

"You ......" Qin Wu was silent and did not step forward to touch Ning Hao.

Ning Hao's face was angry, looking sideways at the white sky, standing under a bare peach tree, and he didn't care about the snowflakes falling on his shoulders.

Qin Wu also stood with him, this stop was a quarter of an hour, Qin Wu finally couldn't hold it back, and she found that Ning Hao's face became more and more pale.

He said anxiously: "How are your body bones?" Do you want me to let a few famous doctors be thick in the house? ”

"No, I'm fine." Ning Hao snorted, not giving Qin Wu a good look.

But her body could not bear it anymore, and as soon as her legs and feet were weak, she was about to fall into the snow. Qin Wu's hands were quick, he stepped forward and hugged Ning Hao in his arms, and hurriedly said, "My fault, it's all my fault, let's go back to the house first." ”

"Hey, wait," Ning Hao suddenly stretched out his hand and tugged Qin Wu's shoulder, his voice softened a lot, "You shouldn't come back, I can't leave, it was Lord Wuxian's decision to stay in Xuejin City, the saucers in the study house are staring around the courtyard every day, I stay in Xuejin City, you and I can be safe." ”

Qin Wu's face was solemn, and after listening to Ning Hao's words solemnly, his ears were erected high, as if he was afraid of missing a word.

"Also, don't tell me that Martial Immortal is dead or something, if something really happens to her, the barbarian army will definitely go south, and then you won't be able to come back," Ning Hao showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, reached out and touched Qin Wu's ear, and pinched his earlobe with two emerald fingers, "Did you hear clearly?" You will go back after today, and you and I will have something to say in the letter. No matter how bad it is, when the martial immortal returns, I will go and beg her to let you resign from the position of commander of the Great Pond Warrior. ”

"Okay, don't say a word, you're not in good health." Qin Wu didn't care whether Ning Hao agreed or not, he picked her up by the waist and sent her all the way to the bed in the back room.

The windows in the house were opened, and the wind could be heard outside.

Ning Hao's face turned a lot ruddy, put his hands behind his head, and said: "I heard that Xiaoxing is back, and that kid doesn't know to come to see me, it's really a virtue with you, Bo Qinglang." ”

"I've been to see Lu Xing." Qin Wu said.

"Oh? So what did you tell him? Ning Hao's eyes were quite curious, and he asked.

Qin Wu said in a deep voice: "I told him, 'The Great Zhou Dynasty is the biggest disaster, and persuaded him to give up part of the northern land and raise troops to capture Youzhou and Kyoto', but it's a pity that his character is too good, which is very different from the domineering I thought." ”

"Gurgle, cluck," Ning Gao looked at Qin Wu's face, his eyes were full of interest, and said, "Do you remember what happened back then?" What's the matter, besides, the Wang family is not something we can afford to provoke, so don't take it to heart. ”

"How can you forget? The Wang family deceives people too much, those children of the capital are really bold, I shouldn't have let you go to the street to play alone, and I shouldn't have participated in any hunting, it's all my fault, it's all my fault. ”

Ning Hao listened to Qin Wu's words, his face became more and more pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Qin Wu, do you want me to count the death of the fetus on your head?" Back then, I was playful and had to go to the sky lantern, if you mention it again, I have to make you look good! ”

Qin Wu fell into silence, he had hatred in his heart, he hated Kyoto, he didn't like the glory there, and he hated those noble faces, Xiao Hao was pregnant back then, but he was forced to flee in a hurry by those children of the capital, which would cause a miscarriage, and it would be the root cause of Ning Hao's body.

"You take care of your body, I'll listen to you, and I'm back in the snow." Qin Wu stood up, his back a little lonely.

Ning Hao hurriedly sat up from the bed, she pursed her lips, her eyes were reluctant, she looked at Qin Wu's broad back, and merged all her words into one sentence, "I have been taking the medicine given by Jiang Yazhi, and I will be able to have another child when it is spring next year." ”

"Really, really......" Qin Wu turned around abruptly and fell in front of the couch with a pop, his eyes were full of joy, and he held Ning Hao's arm with both hands.

"Okay, that's good, I'll definitely come next spring. No, I must have resigned as the commander of the Oike Warriors, and I will accompany you and protect you and the children from now on. ”

"Hmm." Ning Hao smiled, his cheeks flushed.
