City of Champions.

Han Shao, dressed in a marquis brocade robe, stood at the head of the city, looking at the north from afar.

On the small map reflected by the spirit, those gray dots range from sparse to dense.

The further north you go, the thicker it becomes.

The dots are no longer all gray and white, and you can see the occasional green.

As for the red dot that represents danger, I haven't seen it yet.

But Han Shao knew that this was only temporary.

No one is going to fight a war that is bound to be lost.

He won't.

Surely the mad dog from the beginning will not be.

Last year's big war, from the beginning to the end, although the whole process seemed very sloppy.

Karasumabe also seems to be ill-prepared.

In the end, the seventh realm on the bright side is only Shibi.

But in fact, the chips in the hands of the initial end are not only like this.

Not to mention the internal and external collusion, as soon as the war started, it severely damaged most of the Zhenliao army in one fell swoop, and successfully besieged it in the former Dingbei City.

Just say that the seventh realm true immortal who can withstand the battle situation.

On the side of the Zhenliao army, there are Gongsun Du and Li Wenjing.

And on the first side, he himself is counted as one, and the black dragon who is fed on the luck of the entire Karasuma Department is also counted as one.

In the battle of true immortals, Shi Bi thought that not only would he not lose, but he also had a great chance of winning.

As for the Liaodong Gongsun behind the Zhenliao Army, he had the holy mountain that was coerced by Shi Bi at that time to deal with it.

As long as the beginning is in Dingbei City, the entire Zhenliao army will be wiped out.

In last year's battle, even if Shi Bi couldn't successfully swallow the entire Youzhou into his stomach, he could still bite off a large piece of flesh and blood.

Afterwards, as long as this bitten 'flesh' is digested for a few years, the whole Karasuma will surely become stronger and stronger.

When the time comes, he will plan slowly, and he may not be able to truly realize his ambition of swallowing whales with snakes.

It's just a pity that the whole calculation was beautiful, and even at first everything went well.

But I didn't expect that in this process, there would be a variable like Han Shao.

Not only did he kill the dragon soul clone of the dragon city dragon raising land, but he also broke an arm to deal with Gongsun Du.

also made the old immortal of the holy mountain and Karasuma part of the way by mistake, and cut it clean in one fell swoop.

In this way, Shibi seems to have become a big joke.

The original seamless plan was also a failure at the moment when it was about to be completed.

In the end, he could only exit like a lost dog.

Many of these details were only deduced by Han Shao when he reviewed them afterwards and combined with many sources.

Now that I think about it, even if they are enemies of each other, Han Shao can't help but sigh for the beginning.

How can this be described?

When heaven and earth are the same, the heroes are not free?

Han Shao didn't know if Shi Bi was a hero, but he was indeed a little bit less lucky.

Thinking of the proverb that is widely spread in the northern frontier, [There will be a black dragon in the north, and the water will overcome fire virtue and kill the red dragon to replace the world]!

Han Shao inexplicably felt a little funny.

As he smiled, he suddenly felt a familiar aura around him.

Turning his head to look, he saw Yu Xuanji, who had been changed into a white fox fur, stepping out of the void.

The cold wind blew, and the snow-white slender fluff on the fox's fur rippled slightly.

The natural beauty of the woman is less and less like a thing in the world.

Hearing the faint sound of swallowing coming from the city, Han Shao didn't take it to heart.

Everyone has a love for beauty.

Walking in the world with such a stunning appearance, let alone these soldiers around him, even if Han Shao is facing each other day and night, he will occasionally lose his mind for a moment.

It's human nature.

Seeing Yu Xuanjilian's steps moving lightly and coming, Han Shao smiled.

"Why are you here?"

Maybe it was the reflection of Han Shao's shadow, and the indifferent eyes that were used to being empty and godless gradually became a little smarter.

A gentle smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and Yu Xuanji said.

"The wind is cold in the city, so I boiled ginseng tea to warm your body."

Only then did Han Shao realize that Yu Xuanji's hands that had been held together in the fox fur were protecting a pot of tea.

In fact, with Han Shao's cultivation, he has long been invasive, so why do you need this thing?

But seeing her cautious look, she still took it easily.

In the hand, there is even a feeling of piping hot.

Han Shao's smile on his face was a little gentle, and he didn't wait for Yu Xuanji to hand over the teacup, he directly carried the teapot and poured half of the teapot.

The remaining half pot was directly thrown to the soldiers guarding the city.

"Mrs. Yu invites you to drink tea and warm your bodies."

As he spoke, Han Shao reminded again.

"One small sip per person, don't drink too much."

It's not that he's stingy.

It's just that this ginseng tea is boiled with Liaodong fire ginseng, which can improve cultivation, but its nature is very strong.

If you don't cultivate enough and drink too much, it's not a good thing.

Facing Han Shao's sudden movements, the faces of the soldiers in the city were first stunned, and then surprised.

In the end, it turned into an indescribable respect and closeness.

The Champion City Defense Battalion was formed by the soldiers of the Beacon Fort who were all over the grassland in the past.

I don't know much about this champion.

But this pot of ginseng tea, a simple word, made them instantly believe the rumor that 'the champion Hou loves soldiers like a son'.

For a while, the soldiers at the head of the city, whether they had drunk the ginseng tea or not, shouted loudly.

"Master Xie! Thank you, Mrs. Yu! ”

Most of the martial artists in the army are quite simple and simple.

With this half pot of ginseng tea alone, if someone mutters something 'demon woman' in front of them in the future, they will have to hit each other all over the ground to find teeth.

And Yu Xuanji, who had never encountered such a battle, had a reddish flush on her fair face.

I was a little ashamed.

From beginning to end, there was only Han Shao in her eyes.

In her heart, others are probably unimportant.

Just as Han Shaoma set foot on the Beigu Sect at the beginning, he slaughtered countless disciples of the Beigu Sect.

The layers of corpses, the blood shedding, stained most of Beigu Mountain red.

When she saw it, she just glanced at it, and there were not many waves in her heart.

Yu Xuanji didn't know if she was cold by nature, or if she was sick from being lonely in the secret realm for many years.

She always felt that she was separated from this world by a veil, hazy and alienated.

Everything seems to be difficult to leave a deep imprint on her heart.

On the contrary, every time she looks at the bright moon overhead, she will feel a little close.

Sometimes there is even an urge to go back with the wind.

And every time she felt this way, she could feel that her cultivation seemed to have climbed a lot strangely.

There seems to be something 'awakening' in the body.

In this regard, Yu Xuanji couldn't help but feel a little panicked in her heart.

She felt like she was probably sick.

It's just that Lang Jun has been very busy since this time.

Even if she didn't hear anything outside the window, she could feel the tension around her.

It was a sense of imminent war and a rainy and oppressive feeling.

So she didn't tell Lang Jun about her panic, so that Lang Jun, who was already working hard, was worried about his life.

Even the increasing cultivation was fooled by the effect of her Yin-Yang Dao dual cultivation secret method.

Seeing that Yu Xuanji's eyes were hollow again, as if he was thinking about something, Han Shao said.

"What? Got something on your mind? ”

Yu Xuanji, who retracted her mind, shook her head with a light smile.

"It's fine."

After speaking, Yu Xuanji thought about it and said.

"Let's go back and boil some ginseng tea."

She didn't care about the gratitude of the soldiers.

But just now the half pot of ginseng tea was given, and she could feel the morale of these soldiers, which seemed to have boosted a lot.

As long as she waits to help Lang Jun a little, she is willing.

When Han Shao heard this, he wanted to refuse.

After all, this Liaodong fire ginseng is already a treasure medicine, and it is laborious and troublesome to boil.

But it's good to think about finding something for her to do, so that she won't be idle all day and easy to think cranky.

So he nodded and agreed.

"It doesn't have to be too hard, just get the meaning."

The higher the status, the more hypocritical the person.

Han Shao wasn't sure if he could be like the big-eared thief and set up the memorial arch of benevolence and righteousness for a lifetime.

But there are some things that are true and false, and there is no need to distinguish them so clearly.

So after reminding Yu Xuanji, Han Shao diverted from the topic.

"You prepare for the next two days, and I will have someone send you back to Zhenliaocheng."

It's still the old saying of the instructors.

Strategically it is possible to defy the enemy, but tactically it is not.

So Han Shao never underestimated the mad dog of Shibi.

After a year of preparation, now that it is coming back, it will inevitably be black clouds crushing the city.

In the past six months, the intermittent news from the grassland has also confirmed this.

Therefore, Han Shao must deal with all this without distraction.

It's just that he didn't expect Yu Xuanji, who has always been obedient to him, to disobey himself surprisingly this time.

"The concubine doesn't leave......"

Since the beginning of autumn, the increasingly cold wind is howling, and even the soft voice of the woman is a little fluctuating.

But the firmness contained in this suppleness made Han Shao frown slightly.

As soon as he wanted to say something, he put the soft delicate body in his arms.

The slender fluff on the fox fur swept the back of Han Shao's hand.

The natural fragrance constantly stirred Han Shao's mind.

"Life and sleep together, and death should be the same hole."

Han Shao didn't know if the other world, the final battle of the Chu and Han hegemony, had another Yu Ji also said such unlucky words to Xiang Yu.

But when Wu Qi, Yu Ji, and these elements are full, Rao is Han Shao is not superstitious, and he still can't help but feel a little numb.

However, before thinking of Gongsun Xinyi, he had already planted a flag for himself.

Negative negative is positive.

The two are opposed, and it is good luck!

After comforting himself in his heart for a while, Han Shao didn't bother to think about it.

If you don't go, you won't go.

With Yu Xuanji's current cultivation in the Yuan Shen Realm about to be consummated, on the premise of not making a move to ban her cultivation, if she really doesn't want to leave, she really can't do anything about her.

What's more, the war is imminent, and he doesn't have the heart to entangle these children's affections.

Because that's what you have to worry about if you survive.

With his thoughts flickering, Han Shao looked in the direction of Langju City.

Compared with the strong walls and clear fields on the side of Champion City, making a posture of defending the city, that side is much more traditional.

And offense is tradition!

The tradition of the Zhenliao army!

If the Champions City side is just about to fight.

On the other side of Langju City, when those ranger scouts scattered to the grassland outside the city.

The war, in fact, has already begun.

And it's the most tragic scout battle!

……

The summer in northern Xinjiang has always been very short.

Autumn is shorter.

Often, just a cold wind blows, and it's already winter.

And this winter, it seems to be exceptionally cold.

Xiao Wu shrank his neck into the armor, and although the fur lining on his neck was a little prickly, it was better to keep warm.

Every time he makes this action, he can draw a bit of warmth from it, so he never gets tired of it.

In fact, he admired Wu Chang a lot, obviously his cultivation was not much higher than him.

But this guy doesn't seem to be afraid of the cold.

Stiffened his body all day, allowing the cold wind to pour into the cracks in his armor, and did not waver in the slightest.

Just like his figure, tall and strong, like a thick iron tower.

Steady as a mountain, but cold and hard.

To be honest, such a figure is actually not suitable for cavalry.

Not to mention their most elite ranger scouts.

But this guy is a good riding thief!

Every time I saw this guy with that strong body like a calf, flashing and moving on the horse like walking on the ground, not only Xiao Wu, but also all the robes around him couldn't help but smack their tongues in their hearts.

'What a monster!' ’

Xiao Wu snorted in his heart.

He stroked his frozen palm.

No way, the cultivation is too low.

The martial arts of the Blood Condensation Realm, although they can rely on boiling qi and blood to resist the cold.

But helplessness, this in itself is a kind of consumption.

These rangers themselves are on the verge of death, and once they consume too much, they suddenly encounter brute horsemen on the way.

When the time comes, if you can't swing the Zhenliao knife, you will really let those brute dogs chop off their heads, and they will die too wretched and aggrieved.

So even if it's cold, they can only hold on.

At this moment, Xiao Wu suddenly became a little envious of those brute dogs.

At least when those wild dogs go south, the wind is good.

The wind blows from behind, and at most your butt is frozen.

Like them, this road goes north, and the cold wind blows on the face, like a knife blowing.

It hurts, it hurts!

also poured all the way from the neck into the body, almost freezing Ji'er.

What a!

Xiao Wu cursed in his heart.

And perhaps sensing Xiao Wu's resentment, the sturdy figure that hit the head turned his head to look at him.

The big bull's eyes fell on Xiao Wu through the hideous black armor.

Instantly made Xiao Wu excited.

There was a sneer under the face armor, thinking that it would usher in the other party's scolding.

I didn't expect that deep voice, but it was the way.

"Is it hard?"

asked like this, without waiting for Xiao Wu to answer, he listened to the other party continue.

"If you feel hard, just think about our champion Hou ......"

"Counting nine cold winters, it's not much colder than we are now! But our Han Hou rode all the way north with only three hundred horses, sweeping across the grassland! ”

"How tenacious! How majestic! ”

Maybe it's the ordinary urn tone of Wu Chang's urn, which is rare with a bit of excitement and intensity.

Several people behind him were also attracted to their hearts.

"Naturally, we can't compare to Han Hou, and we can't do Han Hou's great achievements."

"But what do you think, do you want to be the best?"

Martial artists in the army, even if they behave well on weekdays, they have their own pride inside.

Cowardice and cowardice will be despised and despised.

Hearing Wu Chang's words, his mood, which was originally blown by the cold wind, suddenly became a little excited.

Only Xiao Wu, who fell last, was a little disappreciative in his heart.

Strictly speaking, he's just a new pawn.

Last year's battle was too tragic.

The Zhenliao army suffered heavy losses, and naturally needed fresh blood to replenish it.

It was at this time that Xiao Wu enlisted in the army.

When he saw the coffins of the dead soldiers, pulled into the city from the city gate, the blood of the man in his chest swelled up, and he made this decision.

To be honest, he regrets it a little now.

Since he has been in the army for so long, he has not been as enthusiastic as he imagined.

Some of them are just hard training that lasts for half a year, which can be called tormenting.

Even if he was pulled into the most elite scout ranger by Jane because of his outstanding marksmanship, this is true.

The only thing that made him feel a little interesting was the scene where the previous champion Hou ordered the army.

It was also the first time he had seen the champion Hou who was rumored to be a god.

It's just different from the blood boiling in the robe around him.

He has been watching from the sidelines, and he has seen many things that ordinary soldiers can't see.

For example, those Zhenliao generals who were clustered behind that champion Hou.

Another example is the champion Hou and the eldest lady, who spread the ambiguous private relationship through ups and downs.

Combining the two, he even guessed that the future Zhenliao Army might really have the surname Han.

……

Riding, in this word 'swimming'.

They are the eyes and ears that stretched out before the two armies went to war.

It is also the sharpest knife that kills blind and obscures the other party's vision.

After some cruise, a few people found a shelter to rest for a while, and by the way, they filled up some food.

It's a pity that because I can't make a fire, I can only nibble on some dry food.

This is a great torment for Xiao Wu, who has been clothed and fed since he was a child.

For this, he doesn't know how many times he has been scolded.

It's just a habit that has been cultivated for many years, and how can it be changed in one day.

Seeing Xiao Wu's sad face and difficult to swallow, Wu Chang's iron-clad man couldn't help frowning.

But his mouth opened, but he took out a package from his bosom that was stored close to his body.

When I opened it, it turned out to be some pastries that were not very delicate.

Facing Xiao Wu's puzzled gaze, the tall man sighed.

"I don't ask you where you come from, I just say that you are my subordinate."

As he spoke, he pushed those pastries in front of Xiao Wu.

"Before the expedition, my mother-in-law forced it to me."

"Let's eat, although it doesn't look good, it tastes good."

When Xiao Wu heard this, he took the pastry suspiciously and stuffed one into his mouth.

Well, the taste is actually average.

It can't be compared with the pastries in the north building of the town.

is also mixed with the strong body odor of Wu Chang's body.

Just looking at this guy's cold and hard face, there seemed to be a flash of pain, and Xiao Wu, who was a little narrow, gave birth to a little narrowness in his heart, and immediately stuffed two more into his mouth.

It wasn't until his mouth was stuffed that he smiled and said to Wu Chang.

"Thank you, Chief Wu, for the pastries, I'll use the pastries in the north building of the town to return the pastries when I turn around."

When the cold tough guy heard this, he couldn't help but glance at him.

Only if he is bragging.

I was about to say something, but I saw the soldier who was on guard on a high place, and suddenly turned around.

"Meet the enemy!"
