The wind blew over the top of the mountain, the wildflowers on the mountain swayed, the water gurgled and the snow was slowly melted. The morning sun seemed to be lit up with snow, and at the jagged joints, there were small pieces of wet light.

It's another spring, and finally another spring is coming.

The lame veteran stood by the rocks, squinting his eyes, and spent year after year in his recollections, the joy of the past seemed to be the end of the water, and the future, like a stream rushing to the rocks, did not know where to run after all.

Xiao Cong came from behind him, holding a vegetable bag in his hand.

"Eat something, Uncle Liao."

Liao Bo stretched his legs, both legs used to be the same strong, but now there is only one left, which is no different from ordinary people, and the other has long been atrophied and paralyzed because of perennial abandonment.

He took the vegetable bag and smiled at Xiao Cong to show his gratitude: "Captain, there is no news yet?" ”

Hearing these two words, the only light in her eyes that pretended to be a little light was extinguished. She shook her head.

Liao Bo sighed: "Du Wei is a young general, proficient in the art of war, and good at skills, if you go to the side of the Moon Kingdom, you will be glorious and rich, and you will not be able to enjoy it." ”

At this point, he glanced at the vegetable bag in his hand and sighed: "It's a pity, Du Wei is loyal and patriotic, and he can't do such a betrayal." ”

Xiao Cong smiled, as if the person who should be comforted the most at this time was not herself, nor Du Wei, but Liao Bo in front of him:

"He was born to be such a man, and isn't that why we follow him?"

Liao Bo shook his head helplessly, and then pulled out a smile from his face: "There is no hope of recovering the country, in my lifetime, if I can see you and Du Wei get married, it will be a good thing." ”

Xiao Cong's face turned red: "Uncle Liao, this kind of thing, let's wait for them to get the lieutenant back!" ”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Cong went to distribute food to the rest of the soldiers, the supplies were already scarce, surrounded by Chushan Mountain, surrounded by one of the small tops, the mountains were rugged, the strange rocks were craggy, in recent years, the game on the mountain has been exhausted, and it is difficult to grow food, and the whole army belongs to the empty mountain. If it weren't for their livelihood, they would never agree to let the Captain take the risk and go to Moon City.

After handing out the last food in his hand, Xiao Cong touched his empty stomach and looked at the sky.

There is sunlight, clouds and mist, and strange rocks.

She had a little peace in her heart, and the anxiety of people in a desperate situation could be as calm as death.

She remembered that she had just come to Huanchu Mountain, because she had the same situation and experience, and out of admiration for Liuzhang, she stayed in Huanchu Mountain and waited for Xin Yi's whereabouts with everyone.

Master has educated her since she was a child, guarding the princess is where she learns martial arts in this life, if even the princess is lost, what kind of secret guard will she do?

But those who practice martial arts, who do not desire to go deep into the enemy camp with a horizontal sword.

Liuzhang gave her such a chance, to be precise, such a hope. She has nothing to look up to, but she can only repay it with a heart of ice.

In the distance, maybe where the sunset sinks, there will be news of Liuzhang. There was no news of the rebels being arrested or dying in the city, and she had a hunch that he was just temporarily trapped in one place.

——

But on this side, Lu Xinyi, Ling, and Tu Shansong, the three of them rode side by side, walking on the path out of the city.

Tu Shansong and Xin Yi involuntarily handed Ling a resentful look at the same time.

Ling was in high spirits, he had never been happier than today, as if it was not only the two around him who had escaped, but also him. It seems that if he leaves the city today, he can also have freedom from now on.

Ling was full of interest: "From this road, go all the way forward, it is the Huanchu Mountain where Liuzhang and they are hiding, as for the entanglement, I have prepared it for the two of you!" ”

Lu Xinyi nodded: "Ling, just send it here." I see that the sky is getting brighter, you can't tell when, it will change back to that Ling, I'm afraid ......"

"Don't be afraid!" Ling walked in the middle and waved his big hand, "As long as I don't sleep, that guy won't run out!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Xinyi felt a little steady, she couldn't hold it back, and leaned forward slightly: "Ling, you really ...... Was it the sick horse I saved earlier? Is your body really a shadow? ”

Hearing the word shadow, Song frowned slightly, thoughtful.

Ling was stunned at first, and then shook his horse for a long time before he said:

"Xin Yi, who told you that I am ...... A shadow, huh? ”

Xin Yi looked at him left and right: "Oh, you just said it's not it!" ”

Ling hesitated for a moment before saying, "It can be said that it can be said that it is not." If you really want to know who I am, I ...... I'll write to you when I get back, okay? ”

Lu Xinyi didn't relent: "No, when you go back, maybe that Ling will not let you come out in the same way?" ”

Ling looked at Song, and Song hurriedly said, "I'll go to the front to explore the way first, you two said." ”

When Song walked away, Ling held the reins tightly in his hand, and after a long time, he made up his mind and said:

"Xin Yi, maybe you have forgotten me a long time ago, but I can't forget you. Because I have a deep commitment and agreement to you.

Did you know that there is a spirit animal in this world, called the Fear Beast. It was born with a curse, and a prophet prophesied that the fear of the beast would lead to the destruction of the family and the country; Fear the death of the beast, and the family and the country prosper.

Therefore, this fearful beast, from childhood to adulthood, has experienced a game of life and death, and the exiles want to take it for themselves, in the hope of gaining supreme power in troubled times.

Those who are loyal to the monarch and patriotic are eager to kill them quickly, lest they be cut down and eradicated. ”

When he said these words, the wind in the moon blew the sideburns in his ears, Lu Xinyi was in a trance, such a snowy night seemed to be the same as yesterday, but it seemed that everything was wrong.

Ling said slowly: "No matter what, he will still be good after all." For there is also a prophecy that He will protect His Master a thousand times until he gives his life.

At first, he didn't know what these prophecies meant to him.

He was taken all the way to Jingguo from his hometown, from Chu State, and he was sold to Jingguo, and when he wanted to escape, he had a master in a daze.

Weird, right? If it were you, would you admit to a master you never met? And to pay for her life. ”

Lu Xinyi shook his head.

Ling also smiled, he smiled a little carelessly, and at this moment, the innocent face of a young man was reflected on his face.

He grabbed a reed and weed in his hand and played with it on his horse.

He didn't admit it, so he fled, fled. At that time, he felt that everything in the world had nothing to do with him, after all, he was just a spirit beast that survived by eating people's shadows, as long as people were not dead, what was the meaning of victory or defeat between countries? ”
