Chapter 1 Northwest Blue City (II)
In the middle of the night, a thunderclap woke her up, and the June rainstorm came very quickly. When she woke up, she stood in front of the window, and the raindrops the size of beans were falling densely from the sky. Dense dark clouds obscured the stars in the sky, and Shirakawa was stunned.
Unconsciously, it has been almost a month since she left the Far East, and she misses her comrades-in-arms who have been accompanying her in battle, and she is even more worried about the war situation in the Far East. Despite the warm hospitality and good food and drink she received in the Blue City, she still missed the humble battlefield food in the Far East and the rude orc soldiers. Thinking of this, she longed to fly back with her wings on her back.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of her bedroom, and someone politely asked outside the door: "Your Excellency Shirakawa, have you slept yet?" His Royal Highness the Marshal has just returned, would you like to go and see her now?"
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the thunder was booming and loud. Under the white light of lightning that swept across the sky, Shirakawa hurriedly dressed and followed the guards through the vast garden and winding corridors of the governor's palace to a pavilion in the garden.
Walking into the pavilion, Shirakawa saw a woman standing in front of the pavilion window with her back to him. The window was not closed, and she let the wind blow away her hair, and her slender and almost limble body, facing the dark clouds and lightning outside the window, motionless in the thrilling thunder, constituted an unforgettable freeze frame.
Bai Chuan looked at the guards who led the way, and the guards gave a sure look, so Bai Chuan affirmed and saluted loudly: "See His Royal Highness the Marshal!"
The girl turned from the window and looked at Shirakawa head-on.
"Ahh
She had long heard that Liufeng Shuang was a rare beauty, but she always thought that this was just an exaggeration by the officers and soldiers of the Liufeng family. For a woman with outstanding talents, as long as her appearance is slightly passable, men's requirements for appearance are much more tolerant.
Seeing the real person with her own eyes, she couldn't help but admit that only the four comments of "Alluring the country and the city" can describe the woman in front of her. With jade-like fair skin, faint eyebrows, autumn eyes, and a tall nose, even the most critical eyes of the same xìng could not find any flaws on this softly contoured melon seed face.
"General Shirakawa, you have traveled thousands of miles from the Far East, and you have worked hard all the way. Liu Fengshuang smiled movingly, and his smile was gentle and kind: "I'm sorry to disturb you so late." ”
It was strange that in this dense thunderbolt thunderbolt, Flowing Wind and Frost just spoke softly, but the soft voice miraculously penetrated the roar of thunder and lightning and clearly reached Shirakawa's ears.
"I'm sorry. Your Highness, you have all the opportunities, and your time is precious, but you have taken the liberty to come here and disturb you. ”
"Hehe," said Flowing Wind and Frost with a smile, "everyone thinks I'm busy, but it's a complete misunderstanding." Most of the work has been done by my subordinates, in fact, I am a very lazy person, and I am very happy that you came to chat with me. ”
Shirakawa also smiled, letting go of his nervousness a little. The two chatted casually. Flowing Wind and Frost did not immediately ask Shirakawa about his intentions, and like the generals, she asked Shirakawa about the war situation in the Far East and the interior, and Shirakawa replied simply.
When she spoke, Liufeng Shuang stared at her very intently, her dark eyes were motionless, and she seemed to attach great importance to Shirakawa's words, which made Shirakawa have an inexplicable sense of vanity: Look, even Liufeng Shuang is listening to me intently!
Immediately, Bai Chuan discovered his own naivety: as the master, he was very easy-going, but behind that courtesy, there was a condescending humility. This woman, her noble family background and strength are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. She didn't need to boast about herself, on the contrary, she was careful not to show her superiority, so as not to hurt the guests in front of her.
Involuntarily, Shirakawa compared her to Shirokawa Ning. Both of them are noble princesses, and they are both rare beauties, but the impression that Zi Chuan Ning gave to Bai Chuan is delicate. Weak and kind, she is trying to be strong, just like the rose that grows in a greenhouse, trying to stand tall in the sudden storm, trying not to be swallowed up by the madness of the times.
Although she is very gentle, polite, and easy-going, by chance, the flashing of Limang in her eyes, the confidence in her tone that is inadvertently revealed, the straight waist and the high small head - the woman in front of her, her inner temperament is arrogant and overbearing, she is strong and stubborn, and she will not succumb to anyone's will. Under the cover of the appearance of the country and the city, it is a high-spirited domineering!
If Zi Chuanning was struggling against the raging storm, the wind and frost itself would be the source of the storm!
After listening to Bai Chuan's introduction to the situation, Liu Fengshuang showed a thoughtful expression: "General Bai Chuan, according to what you said, the Far East is currently in a stalemate. The Far Eastern troops of the Zichuan family and the suppression army of the demon clan, no one could help anyone, and they failed to gain the advantage of deciding xìng. ”
"The situation is as you say, Your Highness. ”
"What position do you hold under Shirakawa Shu, General Shirakawa?"
"I would like to inform Your Highness, thanks to the mistaken love of my family, Xia Guan is the commander of the Second Army Corps in the Far East - please allow Xia Guan to explain that there are four army corps in the Far East, including the First Army, the Second Army, the Third Army and the base camp of the Far East, and our army is equivalent to the corps unit of the Northwest Frontier Army, with several to dozens of teams under its jurisdiction. ”
Hearing that Bai Chuan served as the commander of an army of nearly 100,000 people as a woman, Liu Fengshuang raised his eyebrows lightly, and looked at Bai Chuan with interest: "I only learned today that in addition to me, it turns out that the Zichuan family also has excellent female generals. ”
Bai Chuan humbly lowered his head: "Your Highness praises it, and the lower officials are very frightened. ”
Glancing at Bai Chuan, Liu Fengshuang seemed to ask casually, "How is Your Excellency Zichuan Xiu doing?"
"Adults are well and healthy. ”
Hearing that Zichuan Xiu was safe, he let go of his worries, and the whole person relaxed. She leaned back comfortably in her chair: "So, he sent you, why did he send you?"
"Your Highness, you should know that the current form of humanity is very critical. The demon clan is fierce, and at present, more than 500,000 demon troops have been assembled in front of dìdū alone. Once dìdū falls, half of the human race will be lost in the hands of the demon clan, if the Zichuan family is defeated, the demon army will be forced to the northwest, Your Highness will be in danger, the only way to do this today is to ......"
"Wait!" Liufeng Shuang suddenly interrupted, looking at Bai Chuan suspiciously: "Is this the original words of Commander Zichuan Xiu?"
"Ahh His Royal Highness the Marshal, this is the rhetoric that the lower officials think. ”
Flowing Wind and Frost smiled: "I think so." General Shirakawa, you may be a first-class military commander, but you are not a qualified lobbyist! ”
Shirakawa showed a look of embarrassment: "Your Highness, I'm afraid my family's words are a little rude......"
"I don't mind, please say it. ”
Bai Chuan took a deep breath and said in Zi Chuanxiu's tone: "Bai Chuan, you go back this time, take me to the Blue City in the northwest by the way, and go to see the wind and frost! The demons have all hit the city of dìdū, why is this woman so lazy, like a turtle, she doesn't even turn over her waist? The back of the turtle is moss! Sue sù that lazy woman, it's time to do it! If you don't make a move, Lao Tzu will be annoyed!"
Listening to Shirakawa's words, Flowing Wind and Frost was stunned at first, and then giggled, laughing so hard that she almost fell off her chair.
Bai Chuan was embarrassed, and his face flushed: "My family was born in the army, and I have always been rude. Sorry, it's rude, I hope you don't be surprised, Your Highness. ”
"I don't blame him. Liufeng Shuang laughed so much that tears came out, and he finally stopped laughing: "This person, who used to pretend to be so gentle, turned out to be a big old man in his bones!"
"Your Highness, ...... you?"
"When I went back and saw your family, I said that I knew, and I would immediately send troops to rescue the Zichuan family. ”
"Ahh She couldn't believe it, and shouted in disregard of etiquette: "Your Highness, are you serious?"
Flowing Wind and Frost smiled: "Of course it's true." You Zichuan show is so fierce, he is still annoyed, how dare I not agree?" Speaking of this, she couldn't help but smile and sway, the moving beauty, together with Bai Chuan, who was a woman, couldn't help but be moved.
"Actually, I'm not really worried about the demons. "The barbarian tribes, who are known for their pure violence, can have a great upper hand in the early stages of the war, but as they penetrate deeper into the human world, their shortcomings in insufficient strength will be fully manifested until the human race can withstand them on a certain front and turn into a stalemate." Human beings have vast depth and a large population, and have great potential, on the contrary, the demon soldiers are one less dead. As long as we persevere, the final victory will definitely belong to humanity. ”
"Your Royal Highness the Marshal, you are far-sighted, and the development of the battle situation will definitely be as you expected. Your Highness, if you go out early, we will be a little more sure of defeating the Demon Clan!" "I'm not worried about the Demon Clan, but I'm worried about the Heqiu Lin Clan. ”
"The Lin family of Heqiu?" Bai Chuan's tone was full of surprise: "Your Highness is worried about them? They are just a group of merchants, a group of soft-footed shrimp who dare not fight, with their highness's divine martial arts, why do they attach so much importance to them?"
"Heqiu is a soft-footed shrimp? Do you know how strong Heqiu's defense is, how big is the army, what kind of weapons it has, how well it is trained, and how much reserve army it can muster?"
Shirakawa couldn't answer a single question.
Flowing Wind Frost sighed and said no more.
Many people in the world say that Heqiu is weak and powerless, but how many people really understand Heqiu's strength? She has seen with her own eyes that Heqiu has the most terrifying strongbow army in the world, and its archers are unparalleled in the world. After more than 200 years of recuperation, Heqiu's material reserves can be called rich in the world, and its military equipment does not hesitate to work, all of which are first-class jīng products.
The soldiers are full of food and the national strength is strong, which is the basis for the struggle for hegemony.
Although the demon army is fierce and strong, it is a clear enemy after all, real swords and guns are fighting, and the wind and frost are not afraid of anyone, she is only worried about the dark arrows and daggers thrown from the darkness behind her.
The distress in the territory of Zichuan's house two years ago is still haunted by the wind and frost. A well-informed grasp of his own actions, a clever trap, a thorough ambush, and an invulnerable, he believes that none of his three elder brothers have such organizational and intelligence capabilities.
If it weren't for an unexpected master, Zichuan Xiu, who happened to pass by, there was no possibility of escape at that time.
After more than two years of investigation, Liufeng Shuang increasingly turned his suspicious eyes to the southwest.
Hiring gangsters to assassinate him with a lot of money is more like the businessman style of Heqiu, cautious and vicious, no matter whether it works out or not, the matter will never implicate him.
More and more clues made Liu Fengshuang suspect that the Lin family was not as upright as they appeared.
Under the cover of the profit-oriented and enlightened merchant style, Riverhill hides a lot of shady scenes, and this seemingly enlightened family of descendants of the Guangming Dynasty exudes a mysterious flavor everywhere.
The Lin clan and Zichuan have always had a good relationship, and Heqiu has also proclaimed himself the legitimate heir of the Guangming Dynasty, and has always regarded himself as a righteous person. But the demons invaded on a large scale, and even they were worried that their lips were dead and their teeth were cold, so Heqiu could stand still so peacefully?
Lin Fan has no fear, is it because Heqiu's hidden strength is strong and he is not afraid of the demons, or has he already had a private tacit understanding with the demons? Or is it because Heqiu is preserving his strength and preparing to fish in troubled waters in the chaotic situation after repelling the demons?
If he sends troops to support the Zichuan family, when the demons retreat, the Jīng Rui troops of the Zichuan family and the Liufeng family have been exhausted, if Heqiu attacks at this time, how will he deal with it?
Looking at Bai Chuan in front of him, Liu Fengshuang suddenly had an impulse: "Bai Chuan, when the demon clan is repelled, the Zichuan family has been greatly injured, and it is no longer powerless to shock the world, and a new era of chaos will begin." Shirakawa, your lord is in the Far East, and he has a large number of soldiers and horses under his command, does he have any plans?"
Shirakawa pondered for a moment and said, "I think he should continue to be the commander of the Far East." He had promised the orcs of the Far East that the Far East would become a happy land. For the sake of the former Far East Commander Lord Ge Yingxing, for the sake of the Temple Elder Boudin, and for the sake of the warriors of all races who died under the banner of the King of Light, my family will definitely do my best to protect the Far East from the invasion of the demons. ”
"General Shirakawa, the great husband should take the world as his ambition! The world is turbulent, and at that moment, the great husband is making meritorious contributions! With Zichuan Xiu's eloquence, how can he be confined to a mere place in the Far East!"
Hearing the meaning of Liufeng Shuang's words, Bai Chuan's face gradually changed: "Your Royal Highness, your words, the lower officials don't understand very well. ”
Quietly staring at Bai Chuan, he said word by word: "If he has the ambition of the world, I am willing to help!"
Shirakawa stood up, motionless. The two looked at each other silently, and there seemed to be electric sparks in the air and looked at each other silently for a moment, Shirakawa sat back in place, her cherry lips opened lightly, and she asked softly, "Why?"
Liu Fengshuang lowered his eyes, slightly shy: "Didn't Zichuan Xiu tell you at all?"
"He said to me: 'The wind and frost are her own people, and you don't have to hide anything from her. For the rest, he didn't say anything. ”
"My own people!" Flowing Wind and Frost muttered the word, only to feel a wave of sweetness welling up in his heart.
The Bai Chuan in front of him was sent by him to see him, so she must be Zi Chuanxiu's trusted confidant, so Liu Fengshuang also boldly said bluntly without any scruples: "Zi Chuanxiu saved my life twice, and his kindness will be unforgettable for my life." On the banks of the Lancang River, he and I made an appointment to resist the invasion of the demon clan together, and we are friends of life and death!"
Speaking of Zi Chuanxiu's name, Liufeng Shuang became very gentle, and his eyes were hazy and crystalline, flashing with longing and sweetness. Shirakawa saw that it was the eyes of the female xìng who fell in love. The relationship between Zichuan Xiu and the wind and frost is by no means as simple as saving lives.
She looked at the wind and frost curiously, and her eyes were full of incredible surprise. Under her piercing gaze, the frosty pink face gradually turned crimson, and then reddened. In the end, she couldn't help but bow her head and tease the corners of her clothes.
As women, they don't have to say a lot, they know each other. At this time, there is no longer the number one general in the Megatron Continent, and there is just an ordinary woman who is full of her daughter's heart. Like the ordinary girl next door, she will cry, laugh, be sad, worry and be sad for her lover, and jealous.
The ghost sent the gods, and Bai Chuan suddenly had a thought: Only such an excellent woman is worthy of Zichuan Xiu, if the two of them are really combined, if the advice of the wind and frost becomes a fact...... Shirakawa had a terrifying scene in his mind: orc infantry and Crusader cavalry marching side by side across the mountains, attacking and destroying the city along the way. Under their powerful iron hooves, Zichuan, Liufeng, and Lin will all become historical terms, and on their ruins, a new continental empire is about to be established - if Zichuan Xiu and Liufeng Frost join forces, the best combination of famous generals in the world, it is not impossible to achieve this.
At this moment, the voice of the wind and frost sounded: "Bai Chuan, with the strength of your family, take advantage of the situation to seize the Zichuan family, it is the right time! Even if he doesn't do it, there will be other people who will do it at that time, for example, Di Lin will never let go of this opportunity!"
Pulling his mind back to normal, Shirakawa said seriously: "I will convey your words to the adults, as for how to decide, it depends on the decisions of the adults." But according to Xiaguan's understanding of adults, he would not agree. ”
"Why?"
"Because he's lazy! Your Highness the Marshal, I know too well the xìng character of my family. If someone came to him with a throne, he might have gone to sit down. But if he were to start a war and kill rivers of blood, he would say, 'It's too hard, I'm not going to do it!'
As he spoke, Bai Chuan laughed out loud first, and he couldn't help but laugh.
After laughing, Shirakawa said, "Your Royal Highness, my family seems to be cynical, but in fact he values loyalty and righteousness very seriously. He has made countless meritorious contributions, but he has been wronged repeatedly, and he can't even look down on us as subordinates, but he endures it silently. There is no other reason, just because the family has been kind to him, and he is a very emotional person. In the Zichuan family, there are his benefactors, confidants, friends, and brothers, from Ge Yingxing and Zichuan Yuanxing to Sterling and Dilin, inextricably linked, countless worries and attachments, not to say that a break can be done. Just to play against Sterling or Dilling is enough to break my family, his will is not strong enough. A year ago, we expelled the demons and recovered the entire Far East, which was supposed to be a great time to break away from the Zichuan family, but the adult has always been hesitant, and I can see that he has never been able to give up his feelings for the family. Now, the family is in a difficult situation, and adults can't bear to abandon it. ”
Listening to Bai Chuan's analysis, Liu Fengshuang nodded silently, and a warm warmth came to his heart: "Yes! He is such a person, who cares about life and death, and is strong and fragile. He has extraordinary talent and strength, but he has no ambition to match it, and he is at peace with what happens. He is like the gentle breeze in the chūn day, the warm sun in the snow in winter, gently blowing on his face, gentle and comfortable. With him, I have a sense of peace of mind, feeling comfortable and comfortable, without the slightest restraint and uneasiness. If he were an ambitious man, would he still fall in love with him?
At the third watch, the sudden rainstorm stopped silently, and the meeting was nearing the end.
Before taking his leave, Shirakawa asked, "Your Highness the Marshal, do you have any letters or words that you would like me to bring to him?"
Liu Fengshuang nodded and spread out the white plain paper. There are thousands of words in my mind, but I can't pick out a single sentence.
Looking up at the sky outside the pavilion, after the rainstorm, the dark clouds dispersed, the sky was as blue as a wash, and thousands of stars bloomed again.
Looking at the stars, the wind and frost came to mind: that beautiful night, the night on the riverside of the Lancang River, the starlight was just as brilliant, and the same stars also shone on him in the Far East.
She raised her slender hand and raised her pen to write down several lines of slender handwriting:
"The wolf is in the west, the galaxy is splendid, the king looks at the far east, I look at the northwest, the contract of death and life, never abandon, I hope that the king will return early, and join hands with the son!"
Solemnly handed the letter to Bai Chuan, and said to you, "Please tell your family that the appointment of the Lancang River will not be forgotten." Please also ask him not to forget his promise to come back to see me safely!"
Shirakawa solemnly promised: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will tell you." ”
"Thank you, but I have one more thing to ask you for. Liu Fengshuang whispered to Bai Chuan: "He is responsible for the safety of the Far East alone, and the demon clan will definitely do everything possible to kill him." The Far East is too far away for me to do anything. There is no other way but to ask you. ”
Facing Bai Chuan, Liu Fengshuang bowed deeply: "Bai Chuan, I beg you, please protect him, please!"
Raising his head, he looked at Shirakawa pleadingly, with tears in his eyes. At this moment, she looks so weak, so pitiful and sad. At this time, where does she have the demeanor of the world's number one general, she is just a weak woman who is worried about her lover.
Flowing Wind and Frost gave such a heavy salute to himself, and Shirakawa was shocked.
Her nose was sore, and she wanted to cry a little, so she bowed deeply and saluted back: "Your Royal Highness, if you do this, how dare you be an official? As a subordinate, it is my duty to protect my lordship." Please rest assured, even if I am crushed to pieces, the demons will never be able to hurt the adults in the slightest!"
