Winter has arrived, and thousands of miles outside the pass are frozen.
The barbarian cavalry broke through the ice and occupied the highest boundary outside the pass.
"Tatar, most of Mu Huaicheng's soldiers came from the south of the Yangtze River. The original Mu family army guards have been wiped out long ago. People who grew up in these warm places have little ability to withstand the cold. This is the best opportunity."
Brother Shu Zheyu sat on the horse, his tall body staring at the city gate. "Wait a moment."
Now is not the best time.
"Our little eyeliner has just been put in."
His subordinates did not trust Murong Ling. "Talda trusts that woman?"
Brother Shu Zheyu raised his lips. "Of course I don't believe it, but..."
He was really looking forward to what kind of surprise this little slave could bring him. "Winter has arrived, and the wizard said there will be a snowstorm tonight. After tonight, their soldiers will not dare to stretch out their fingers."
wait.
…
Within the pass.
Mu Huaicheng stood on the city wall, the whimpering cold wind was like a sharp blade, scratching his cheeks painfully.
"General, the weather is getting colder and colder, which is not good for our soldiers."
Mu Huaicheng frowned, there was no better way to resist the cold.
"General Xie Yulan's troops were attacked in Daze. Fortunately, General Xie had experienced hundreds of battles and did not lose any food, grass, or winter clothes."
Mu Huaicheng nodded, he trusted Xie Yulan's ability.
"Madam..." the subordinate spoke again. "Madam followed General Xie Yulan to the border to help you with disaster relief and appease the people at the border."
Mu Huaicheng was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes and said nothing.
On the wedding night, he left Kyoto without stopping for a moment. He was actually on the run...
To put it bluntly, this is very unfair to Atua.
The woman in Kyoto is rude, and her husband leaves his wife on the battlefield on their wedding night. I wonder... if Atua will care.
Fortunately, she is still a little fool.
"The madam is conscious."
Mu Huaicheng rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little irritated.
Then he must make it clear to Atua.
Marrying her was just to protect her, it was a last resort.
…
Daze Mountain.
Countless corpses were piled on top of each other, including some snake and insect corpses.
Xie Yulan's breathing was rapid and there were injuries on his body.
I almost lost my food and fodder.
This is her life.
"Damn it..." If Fuyao hadn't helped her, she would have died today.
"These are not ordinary robbers." Fuyao's eyes darkened, he walked to a corpse, kicked it away, and looked at the totem on his body.
"In recent years, not only the Anmei Tower, the Poppy Organization, but also the Jianghu have unknown forces. This force should not be underestimated."
Xie Yulan looked up at Fuyao. "Are they going to interfere in Fengtian's affairs?"
Fuyao's face darkened and he shook his head. "What they want to interfere with is not just Fengtian, but the whole world..."
The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind. Anmeilou thinks he is behind everyone, but in fact... there is still a driving force behind it.
Someone is controlling everything invisibly.
"There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the world. People who are smarter and more powerful than you and me are everywhere." Fuyao's words were full of meaning, but also full of exhaustion.
When can we break out of this impetuous conspiracy circle?
Fuyao thought that what attracted him most to Chaoyang was probably his persistence in freedom.
That's not what he wants.
Escape from the secular world, choose a place to live in a different place, and be with a true person.
"Your Majesty... thank you very much." Xie Yulan stood up and bowed respectfully.
Fuyao glanced at Xie Yulan, and just now... Xie Yulan obviously had the ability to escape unharmed, but he almost lost his life trying to protect him.
Although the emperor's orders cannot be violated, this was the first time he had seen such a desperate person.
"General Xie, you owe me twice..." The frost on Fuyao's face disappeared in an instant, and the imperial aura around him was covered up again, and he looked carefree and bohemian again.
Xie Yulan was stunned for a moment, this person's face changed so quickly.
But for some reason, Xie Yulan felt that Fuyao like this made people feel distressed.
He seems to be disguising himself this way.
"You... only saved your subordinate once, why twice." Xie Yulan also wanted to argue for himself.
"Don't you think... that time when you drunkenly molested me?" Fuyao approached Xie Yulan with a resentful look on his face and spoke in a low voice, as if his little daughter-in-law had been wronged.
Xie Yulan's cheeks suddenly turned red, this...
"Do you need me to help the general recall it?" Fuyao obviously didn't want to let Xie Yulan go just like that, not to mention... Seeing Xie Yulan's blushing face, he felt inexplicably happy.
"The general is drunk, insists on sleeping with me, and treats me disrespectfully... I have no power to restrain the chicken. I can't push him away from his opponent, so I can only... obey the general."
Xie Yulan's head felt like it was on fire. "Your Majesty!"
Panicked and helpless, she raised her hand to cover Fuyao's mouth. Then she felt it was inappropriate and wanted to take it away, but Fuyao bit Xie Yulan's palm teasingly.
bass!
Xie Yulan felt that her head must now look like a braised lion's head.
"Your Majesty! After passing Daze Mountain, we will leave the land south of the Yangtze River. It is cold in the north of the Great Wall. Your Majesty, please put on your cotton clothes as soon as possible..." Xie Yulan ran away hand in hand and did not forget his instructions.
Fuyao looked at Xie Yulan thoughtfully. He was originally a martial arts prodigy, but unfortunately he was poisoned by Ning He and could only become a useless person from then on.
And Xie Yulan, as a woman, has martial arts and strength that are enviable to men.
After all, he is interested in Xie Yulan...
What to do, this is Xiao Junze's person, he has to find a way to get him away.
The corners of his mouth raised and Fuyao narrowed his eyes. He gave Southern Border to Xiao Junze for nothing, and he did not hesitate to bow down and ask for Xie Yulan... Isn't it an exaggeration?
…
Fengtian, bamboo house outside the imperial city.
Mu Jingyan was still cooking wine and stayed up all night. Until dawn, no one from the emperor came to surround the bamboo house.
Qi Shaocheng knelt on the ground all night, somewhat unable to kneel any longer.
Mu Jingyan glanced at Qi Shaocheng. "If you had left last night, you would have been released from seclusion by now."
"Hmph, that emperor has many tricks up his sleeve, and he might have someone ambush him outside the city!" Qi Shaocheng refused to believe Xiao Junze no matter what he said.
"Get up, stop kneeling, do you kneel to me or to the sky?" Mu Jingyan sighed.
"I kneel down to the two hundred thousand dead souls of the Mu family army!"
Mu Jingyan's fingers froze and his heart felt sour.
"Ahem..." Xu Shi felt depressed, Mu Jingyan coughed a few times, and his palms were stained with scarlet blood.
Mu Jiajun is not the pain in Mu Jingyan's heart.
With the death of Mu Di, 30,000 Mu family elites died tragically in Huaihe... "If you want revenge, go outside the pass. The barbarians are coming back. Huaicheng is guarding the border. If you have no place to use your strength, go and serve the country with your life!"
"General!" Qi Shaocheng was worried about Mu Jingyan's body and bones, but... "Whose country is this? If it belongs to the Xiao family, I won't go!"
"Click!" The door was pushed open, and Ning He walked in with a pale face, carrying breakfast.
His eyes were a little complicated, and Ning He looked at Mu Jingyan distressedly.
Qi Shaocheng came, how could she not know his intention?
"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Mu Jingyan stood up and covered Ning He's hands distressedly. Her fingers were cold and she was afraid of the cold winter.
"Mu Jingyan... I know the inside story of the Huaihe massacre that year."
Mu Jingyan and Qi Shaocheng's eyes froze at the same time, staring closely at Ning He.
