Mizumoto Ranch.

Since the start of the Northern Expedition, He Yuan has really made a lot of money by selling horses.

In addition to buying some foals, he went to the government district to apply for a gun license, and set up a special shooting range in the horse farm, and then opened the shooting range to the people of Chang'an City for 100 yuan at a time.

After hearing this, the people in Chang'an City were naturally overjoyed, and they came one after another, just wanting to try what it was like to ride a gun or even a horse.

As the crowd gradually gathered, He Yuan's wealth also increased day by day, and when he walked on the road, he looked like he was floating up anytime and anywhere.

However, today, as soon as he stepped into the racecourse, he saw that Cao Fu had been waiting at the shooting range for a long time.

"Red Phoenix Army's banquet, how did you eat?"

Cao Fu was holding a gun in his hand, and after he glanced at He Yuan, he saw the other party's shepherd full of spring light, and he only felt that his chest was filled with resentment, so he also spoke with some gunpowder smell.

He Yuan was obviously stunned for a moment, and after shaking his head slightly, he explained: "They all sent invitations, can I refuse? What's more, I am not a roundworm in Xiao Jingmao's stomach, if I don't contact him, how can I know what that guy is thinking?"

"Oh, can you tell me, do you have any news?" Cao Fu pursed his lips, and as he spoke, he aimed the gun at the target in the distance and began to aim.

He Yuan said: "One good news, one bad news. What do you want to hear?"

"Say it all!"

Cao Fu was a little impatient, he put the gun against his shoulder, his eyes narrowed slightly at the target in the distance, and his expression became focused.

He Yuan stopped his temptation and began to elaborate: "Okay. The good news is that after more than a year of the Northern Expedition, the food reserves of the Red Phoenix Army are about to run out, and if they continue, they are afraid that they will not be able to support it. ”

"Where's the bad news?"

Cao Fu was still aiming, his breathing had almost stopped, the gun had been aimed at the distant target, and the index finger of his right hand had been pulled on the trigger, just waiting to shoot.

He Yuan was a little nervous, carefully considered his words, and said: "That's that Xiao Jingmao made up such a thing as a national debt." Moreover, under his encouragement, the first three million yuan of national bonds have all been exhausted. With so much money, presumably the Red Phoenix Army can still support it for a while!" As he spoke, he peeked at Cao Fu's expression, thinking about how he should persuade next.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, Cao Fu stood indifferently and looked coldly at the target in the distance.

He didn't respond to this, just stood quietly, looking at the target in the distance.

He Yuan asked, "How many rings did you shoot?"

"Eight Rings!"

As soon as Cao Fu turned around, he didn't say goodbye to He Yuan, and after throwing the gun in his hand aside, he left the ranch directly.

"Eight rings?" He Yuan's two eyes fell on Cao Fu, and he left the racecourse with him until he couldn't see it anymore: "This result is a lot worse." You know, you're never below the Eight Rings. ”

Anding City.

It was late at night, but Wu Qingshi couldn't sleep.

By candlelight, he looked at the letter in his hand, his face was pale, obviously a little scared, and only after a long time did he put down the letter and sighed in a low voice: "Is it finally here?" Outside the window, the sky was already glowing red, and the newborn sun began to release its own light and heat, shining on the whole earth.

The morning light penetrated into the room through the window lattice, and also fell on Wu Qingshi.

Wu Qingshi's expression was gloomy, as if he was a little scared, and only after a long time did he put the letter on the candle and let the tongue of fire completely burn the entire letter.

"Hopefully, she didn't see it. Wu Qingshi muttered a sentence in his mouth, then stood up straight, pushed open the door and walked out.

At this time, at the gate in the distance, a person walked quickly, saw Wu Qingshi walking out of the house directly, and immediately knelt on the ground and begged: "General!"

"Lei Min, what's going on?" Wu Qingshi felt a little frightened when he saw Lei Min's hurried expression.

Lei Min was nervous for a moment, and then said, "General Qiyu, that Boyan has come to attack." ”

"Is him again?" Wu Qingshi was stunned for a while, the whole person couldn't control it, and he felt that from the inside of his bones to every cell, he was immersed in cold water.

Lei Min smiled bitterly: "That's right. It was indeed Boyan himself who went into battle. With this human strength, with our strength alone, we are afraid that it will be difficult to fight. "Although the Red Phoenix Army has sharp weapons such as the Broken God Crossbow, this kind of thing is expensive, so if Yuan Ye is not on a confidential mission, he will definitely not have as many as a thousand roses.

And now, after many battles in the 102nd Division, the god-breaking crossbow has long been exhausted, and even the ammunition has been cut off because the supply line has been cut off, and it has never been able to be replenished.

In this situation, Mo said that Boyan personally went into battle, even if ordinary people went into battle, they could still defeat them.

"What about Chief Xiao?"

At this time, Xiao Yue's figure flashed in Wu Qingshi's mind.

When he was a chef, it was Xiao Yue who stepped forward, which blocked the Mongol attacks in turn, but unfortunately since that day, he has searched the entire Anding City, but he has not found any trace of Xiao Yue.

This made Wu Qingshi feel bottomless.

Lei Min shook his head and replied helplessly: "I'm sorry general, I didn't find it!"

"This!" Wu Qingshi's expression was stunned, and he was even more annoyed, "Why did Master Xiao suddenly disappear at this critical time?"

"I don't know. Maybe she had something else to deal with. Lei Min was also a little worried, but he felt a little strange when he saw that Wu Qingshi did not leave Xiao in charge, but Wu Qingshi was his superior, so he didn't dare to speculate, so he had to reply in a low voice: "After all, in addition to us here, I heard that something has happened in Qingyang Mansion recently." Maybe Xiao is in charge and runs to that place. ”

And in his heart, Lei Min thought so.

"In the past, didn't we have Master Xiao, why is it that today, the general is so enthusiastic about Master Xiao?"

"Qingyang Mansion, where did Director Xiao go?" Wu Qingshi clenched his hands tightly, with a hint of annoyance in his eyes, and complained: "Doesn't she know that Na Boyan is eyeing the city and will attack anytime and anywhere?"

Lei Min sighed slightly in his heart, his impression of Wu Qingshi dropped a little, and he explained: "Maybe it's an emergency? What's more, didn't Master Xiao save us once before? This time, maybe she will save us from the sea of fire like last time." ”

Wu Qingshi was a little displeased, and shouted: "Then you go to defend the city, remember not to let them break into the city." You know what?"

"General, I see!" Turning around, Lei Min thought about Wu Qingshi's somewhat strange face, and suddenly smiled softly: "Are you going to die?

The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years.

Now that he has stepped into this battlefield, he is destined to one day be shrouded in horse leather.

And even if I die, no one cares!

All kinds of scenes suddenly appeared in Lei Min's mind, remembering that he had come all the way, sent away an unknown number of subordinates, and his relatives had died early, so he could be said to be alone.
