Nine thousand troops is not a small number. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At least in this world, it's an army.

After all, not everyone can join the army, and in this world where martial arts, Confucianism, and Taoism can all be channeled, the role of ordinary people on the battlefield is almost negligible. And unless it is absolutely necessary, few rulers will do such a thing as pulling ordinary people to the battlefield.

In any case, although this army of nearly 10,000 cannot influence the situation of the Xiliang War, it is also a rare new force.

If all goes well, this army will be able to hold the main road between Xiling and Yongning Pass -- Laiyun City!

And on this day, a white dove flapped its wings and came to the sky above Yongning Pass.

A slender man stood with his hands on the shut, his face handsome, his lips bloodstained, but his eyebrows furrowed.

The bird in the sky saw the man at this moment, and seemed to be very close to him, and its mouth let out a "cluck!" chirp at that time.

When the man heard this, he looked up, and the corners of his scarlet mouth appeared with a smile, and he stretched out his hand, and the white dove fluttered twice and landed firmly on his hand.

"Thank you, Liu'er. The man said, then reached out and stroked its feathers. The white dove squinted his eyes with great pleasure and pecked his palm lightly with his mouth. The smile on the man's face deepened, and he reached out to remove the letter wrapped around his feet. Gently twisted it with his hand and placed it in front of his eyes, until he could see the handwriting on it, his frown eased slightly.

"General, the spies ahead have replied. At this moment, a somewhat neutral voice came.

The man turned his head to look, and saw a figure in armor slowly approaching.

It was a woman, with sword eyebrows and watery eyes, red lips and white teeth, although there was not a trace of powder, but it was a thousand times better than those women with heavy makeup, and she was draped in a big red cloak on her back, floating as she walked, hunting like the wind, burning like fire. In a few moments, she came up to the man and handed him a sealed piece of letterhead. A pair of smart eyes stared straight at the man at that time, and never moved away for half a moment.

But the man took the letter unnoticed, opened it, and then carefully looked at the contents, and then frowned again.

The woman soon realized that the letter was not good news, and she couldn't help but ask, "What is written on it?"

The man didn't hide her meaning at all, he frowned and said: "The barbarian side has decided to send an army to bypass Langya Mountain, and the army will attack Laiyun by surprise, but the generals and numbers of the army are not yet known. ”

"Then are we—" The woman was also shocked.

The man shook his head and said, "If we send an army to support Laiyun, the barbarian army will definitely attack the city on a large scale, and the gains will outweigh the losses at that time." ”

"However, if Lai Yun is broken, will we not be attacked on our backs. The woman still had doubts.

"Guancanghai has ordered Zhenxiguan to lead 9,000 troops to Laiyun, and it will arrive in a few days. The man replied.

"But... Although Zhenxiguan is an upright person, he was canonized by the imperial court in a hurry, and he has no experience in marching and fighting, so I am worried about him..."The woman said worriedly.

The man shook his head again, interrupting the woman's next words.

"In times of crisis, don't use suspicious people, don't use people. ”

Hearing this, the woman finally nodded heavily, and then, her eyes suddenly rose again, and the brilliance inside flickered and was extremely dazzling. She looked at him, as if she had plucked up great courage, and said, "There is one more thing. ”

"What's the matter?" the man asked, his expression indifferent.

"Marry me. She said this, her cheeks tingling. It takes a lot of courage for a woman to say such things, even if she is the god general of Great Wei and the iron lady who once frightened the barbarians on the battlefield of Xiliang, but at this time, she still inevitably feels shy. But soon she put away the shame, she liked him, which he had determined after he had pulled her back from the brink of death several times.

She had wanted to follow him and wait for him. Until one day, he understood her intentions.

But, now, she doesn't have that much time.

He wants to guard Yongning Pass, and he will not hesitate to die for the sake of the world in his mouth.

Naturally, she had to accompany him.

It's just that she wants to die like this, at least until she dies, she hopes to be his wife.

So, after several nights of tossing and turning, she mustered up the courage to say this.

All she had to do was keep her eyebrows open, looking at him, waiting for his answer.

She felt that he should have no reason to refuse her.

She's beautiful. It's not much better than his lady who has been hiding in the gate. What's more, he has been fighting side by side with her for so long, even if he has been in love for a long time, and he should have reached this point.

Thinking like this, her cheeks became more and more crimson, but her eyes still looked at the man in front of her.

The man is very wooden, at least in this respect, compared to the invincible killing god on the battlefield, now he seems to be like two people.

She thought he was cute, but the next moment it all vanished.

Because he shook his head.

Slowly, but firmly, he shook his head.

The woman's body was stunned, as if she couldn't believe that she would receive such a response.

"Why? is it because of Madame?" the woman asked, and forced a smile on the corner of her mouth. "I don't mind...", of course, she minded, but they were dying, so why fight for anything.

"It's not because of her. The man glanced at the woman, and his eyes seemed to have some indescribable taste.

"What's the reason for that?" came to the woman's lips, but she finally didn't ask.

Since it wasn't because of his wife, the reason was himself.

At the end of the day, it's that he doesn't like himself at all. Thinking so, the woman swallowed back the humiliating words that would have brought shame on herself.

"I see. She tried to make herself look calm enough, calm enough, and even the smile on the corner of her mouth became brighter because of it, and then she bowed her head respectfully, arched her hand, and said, "Hongyu retires!"

When she had done this, she turned around, and the cloak behind her was raised in the wind, like her people, hunting like the wind and burning like fire.

The man looked at the back that gradually disappeared on the city wall, and his heart was like a stop to water.

He let out a sigh, walked to the wall, looked at the devastation outside the gate, and slowly pulled out a yellowed book from his arms. Then, in a voice that only he could hear, he said, "It's because of her." ”

It was a book given to him by a boy.

There was a very old-fashioned story written in that book.

And he owes someone such a story.

It's a pity that he never got a chance to return the story.

The name of that story is called.

"Nancui Song".
