Chapter Forty-Three: The Beacon Border City

Xia Xuehan and Liran walked through the jungle under Shaomu Mountain, Xiao Fan had been away for a while, but no matter how well the seven hundred people trained, it was impossible to pass through a dense forest without leaving traces, they followed the trail for more than ten miles, and still did not see the shadow of Xiao Fan and others.

Xia Xuehan leaned over and picked up a leaf, the leaf was cut in half, the incision was smooth, Xia Xuehan said lightly: "It was cut by a strong internal force, and the grass stems on the ground are facing north, which is caused by the strong wind brought by the placket, it should be a three-hundred-mile march a day, chase!"

After speaking, he got up and was about to chase forward, and Liran, who had been silent, said: "Childe, my subordinates know that Childe is unmatched in terms of strategy, but the opponent may not guess that we will catch up, will it be too risky to go so rashly?"

"Liran, guessing the opponent's mind is only half the win, if you want to completely defeat the opponent, you have to make him countless. Okay, let's go!" Xia Xuehan smiled slightly, raised his breath and chased after him.

Li Ran was convinced of Xia Xuehan from the bottom of his heart, and the young man in white clothes was like a snowy man, just like a round of red sun above the nine heavens, and nothing could hide its brilliance.

After chasing north for two days, I have arrived at the place where Daxia borders Da Liao, where no matter the city or the village or town, the wolf smoke is everywhere, the hunger is everywhere, hundreds of people are ruined, and they live a difficult life by selling their wives and children.

It was already dusk, and the red sun on the horizon had not yet set, and the setting sun had stained half of the sky red, and the endless side plugs were covered with a layer of red. The small village in front of him had turned into a sea of fire, and the tongue of fire jumped so high that the heavens seemed to ignite it, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be connected together by this sea of fire!

Looking around, a group of Liao cavalry wearing black armor galloped between the alleys on horseback, their blades and armor were dyed red, and there were more than a dozen bloody human heads hanging on the bridles of each horse.

The Liao cavalry slashed and killed the unarmed people, and the cry of children came from under the ruins, and the ground was full of people's corpses, and from time to time there were people who fell, and in the firelight, the ground was already red, it was bright red blood and ...... Dead people!

The cries of slaughter pierced the eardrums, and the thick smell of blood, the scorching stench of the fire that had destroyed everything, and the dusk wind permeated every corner of the village...... In the blazing red firelight, everything seemed to be jumping, everything seemed to be deformed and distorted, and the heaven and earth were no longer the same heaven and earth at this moment......

The sound of the horse's hooves became more and more urgent, and a Liao cavalry general carried a young girl on his horse, running all the way towards the entrance of the village, shouting wantonly, with a fierce smile on his face.

"Let go of me, let go of me, you ......" Before the woman could finish speaking, the Liao army general slapped her, and the girl's cheeks immediately swollen.

"Little Niangpi, let go of your master, who are you going to have fun tonight?" After the Liao army general finished speaking, he touched the girl's smooth face, and laughed insolently, and the Liao cavalry behind him also raised blood-stained knives and cheered loudly.

"Let go of me, you bastard......" The girl turned her head to avoid the filthy hand of the Liao general, and struggled desperately on horseback, but she couldn't break free from those strong hands.

"Phew!" the Liao army general suddenly stopped the horse, and the strong impact almost turned the people off the horse, and the group of people fell silent, and even the girl on the horse kept her mouth shut.

As a soldier who crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, he could feel the sharp aura rushing to his face in such a dark night! It was a thick murderous aura, like a sword sheath still not hiding its edge! As long as he stared at the front for a little longer, he felt as if thousands of troops were attacking, and they were about to be submerged in the blink of an eye!

Through the shining firelight, you can vaguely see two people standing in front of you, and the hair at the corners of your clothes is slightly raised under the blowing of the wind, revealing a trace of solemnity and coldness.

"Let her go!" A gust of wind blew the cold three words into the ears of every cavalryman in the Liao Kingdom, as well as the ears of the desperate girl on horseback.

"You...... Who are you?" his voice trembled, and the hand that grabbed the reins unconsciously moved to the saber at his waist, the man was so terrifying, like a huge mountain towering in front of him, making him feel as small as a speck of dust.

"I don't like to say the same sentence twice!" The cold words came again, like a cold arrow shooting through the skin of those Liao cavalry, and the chill penetrated through the cluster of arrows to the internal organs.

"Gollum!"

The Liao army general squirmed in his throat, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, slapped his horse, rushed forward with a knife, and shouted: "Brothers, slaughter them!"

The figure in front of him moved, but the general of the Liao army could feel that it was not the person who spoke, although it was unfathomable, but this person was a little weaker in momentum, a little less in the spirit of a king.

At dusk, the hunting robe rolled up the blood on the ground and sprinkled on the face of the Liao army general, which was still a little warm, but his heart became cold, because he saw a short knife cut over, he didn't want to dodge, but he couldn't give birth to the heart to dodge, too fast, the next moment, he saw that his body was still on the horse, but it didn't belong to him anymore.

The figure did not stop, and shot towards those Liao cavalry, only to see a purple shadow rushing towards them, only to hear a few sounds of weapons falling to the ground, six people have fallen under the horse, life and death are unknown.

The rest of the man looked at the half-cut knife in his hand, his hands couldn't help but tremble, he had killed many people, whether on the battlefield or like today, but there was never a time when he was as desperate as this dusk, it turned out that the fear of death was this feeling.

"A true warrior dies either on the battlefield or on the way to the charge. From the first moment you slaughter the unarmed people, you are not qualified to be a warrior!, even if he is a citizen of an enemy country!" The man in white in the darkness spoke again.

As soon as the words fell, the last Liao cavalry was so frightened that he fell off his horse, he didn't care about the pain, he didn't care about the sticky and smelly blood on the ground, and crawled towards that person, at this moment, he only had one thought - to live! The person in front of him was too terrible, as if he had the power to dominate life and death in the world, and the cold breath made him unable to give birth to a trace of rebellion.

"You don't even have the dignity of being a warrior now!" Every word cut the flesh and blood of this Liao cavalry like a sharp blade, and he stopped, kneeling in a pool of blood, not daring to speak.

The man in the darkness stepped forward, and by the light of the fire, the Liao cavalry finally saw the man's handsome face, flowing white clothes, and his eyes showed compassion and helplessness. It was the first time he had seen such a handsome young man, but he did not dare to look at it again, for he was afraid that one more look would defile the holy young man.

"Which general of the Liao Kingdom are you a sergeant?" Xia Xuehan didn't look at him and asked coldly.

"I ...... I...... I am from the pioneer battalion under General Harchi, and I am ...... today I was ordered to come out today to fight the grass valley!" the Liao cavalry swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with a sigh of spit.

"This is the first village you've slaughtered?"

"Today and today are the first and third...... It's three!" He secretly raised his eyes to look at Xia Xuehan's extremely cold face, and at this moment he felt that he was no different from a corpse.

"Well, the two countries are fighting each other, and it's okay to have some killings, I admit that I also have soldiers in Daxia who treat you Liao people like this, but I am a native of Daxia, and I can't judge right or wrong in some things, maybe there is nothing right or wrong in this world at all!" Xia Xuehan slapped it lightly, only to hear a "poof", and the Liao cavalry fell to the ground in a pool of blood.

Li Ran stepped forward to help the frightened girl on horseback, the girl looked at the young man in white clothes like snow in front of her, and suspected that she had met the immortal, her knees were weak, and she knelt in front of Xia Xuehan, and she couldn't care about the blood stains all over the ground, and kowtowed vigorously, "Thank you for the grace of the fairy boy for saving your life, thank you for the grace of the fairy boy for saving your life......"

Liran helped her up, Xia Xuehan frowned, and said, "Do you have any relatives in the girl's family?"

"All dead, all dead, these brutes, when they enter the village, they kill when they see men, and rob women when they see them, they are all dead......" The girl's face was delicate, not outstanding, and the only thing that attracted attention was a pair of jewel-like crystal eyes, which were already full of tears at this time.

"The Han people scolded the Khitan people for being inferior to pigs and dogs, and killing people like hemp, but the Khitans also scolded the Han people for being treacherous and cunning, and they were brutes in human skin. What we see today is the cavalry of the Liao State slaughtering the people of the Central Plains, but how many of the cavalry of the Great Xia State slashed the civilians of the Liao State? This is the border, this is the war, and although the people of the Central Plains are bitter, they are also better than the people in the border with blood and tears. Xia Xuehan looked at the flames, corpses, and blood all over the village, and sighed.

The girl squatted on the ground and cried, Xia Xuehan stepped forward, took out a piece of silver and put it at her feet, and said: "I wanted to take you away, but there are still some important things to deal with, you go and find some way out by yourself, if you have nowhere to go, you can go to Chang'an Langya Palace, where you will be taken in!"

When the girl raised her head again, the young man in white had already walked away. That's right, only King Langya in this world will be so white as snow, peerless, and the back as majestic as Mount Tai seems to be able to hold up a blue sky.

"Childe, where are we going next?" asked Rizen.

"Look for Halchi. ”

"Aren't we going to track down Xiao Fan? What's the ......matter?" when Liran asked, she suddenly found that she had too many words, and she had to question what the master said.

"The Liao cavalry just now said that he was from the Harchi Pioneer Battalion, and Harchi was the general of the Liao State, how could he let the Pioneer Battalion come out to fight the Grass Valley, I think they were sent out to find out the news in the name of the Grass Valley. Xia Xuehan looked up, the moon was no longer full, and Qinghui sprinkled on the small village that was eroded by the war, looking extremely lonely and cold. I don't know how many such villages have been poisoned in the frontier, and if you want to save them, can you really save them?

"Childe is saying that Harchi sent the pioneer battalion out to inquire about Xiao Fan's news?"

"Maybe Xiao Fan has already joined him, and he sent someone to find out if I have followed. Xia Xue said coldly, his dusty face couldn't help but hang a touch of sadness, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival did not accompany his mother and concubine, this foreign month is not as bright as when he was a child and his mother when he watched it together!

"Then we ......" Liran's cold face has never had any expression, she only needs to follow her master's orders in this life, and there will never be feelings affecting her mind.

"Let's go! I'm not here to hunt down Xiao Fan, I want to find out something. Xia Xuehan disappeared into the darkness first, and her arrogant back was a little lonely and gloomy.
