After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

Standing at the door of the Chinese army's tent, Li Xiujing sighed deeply. He thought that maybe he should confess everything to her, but he also felt that she wouldn't believe him.

The lights in the tent finally went out, and the wind around them became silent.

Looking back at the tent under the moonlight, Li Xiujing sighed several times. Finally, he walked towards the camp gate with his hands behind his hands. Under the surprised gaze of the sentry, he walked to the stream and sat down cross-legged.

The night in the deep valley is very cold. Although the corpses of both sides had been buried, the wind still carried the smell of blood. Li Xiujing frowned.

When he left the camp, he brought a horizontal knife with him, and now he felt depressed. He simply drew his knife and danced to express his feelings. The knife holds the sparse moon over it, bit by bit breaking up the frost all over the sky. Randomly, without any rules. The moonlight above his head was clear and reflected on the blade, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch it. But this scene is an illusion. If you touch it, it will break. If you don't touch it, you will feel unwilling.

After wielding the sword until all his strength was exhausted, Li Xiujing sheathed the sword. Walked back to the camp and entered He Liang's tent. After a quick wash, he lay down on his back.

He Liang, who was awakened, looked at him, "General?"

"Sleep." Li Xiujing closed her eyes and said.

He thought it would be better to wait. There will always be a chance to confess everything later.

At Tianyang, the restlessness and anger in my heart have subsided.

After Li Xiujing washed up, he walked to the Chinese army tent. The curtain was lifted, and it was empty inside. After asking the sentry, he walked towards the creek not far away.

Dressed in blue, she sat by the water, with her head thrown aside and her long hair disheveled.

Pei Jiaoran turned her head when she heard the footsteps. A ray of skylight quietly fell on her face, and her black hair danced lightly in the morning breeze.

"The governor is in good spirits." Pei Jiaoran splashed water on his face, half-smiling, "I heard from the camp guard that the governor was dancing with his sword outside for a long time yesterday."

Li Xiujing smiled and said, "If you have abdominal distension after eating too much, you will move your muscles and bones to relieve the pain."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran curled his lips, took off his boots and socks and put them aside. White feet slowly dipped in the stream. The stream was extremely shallow and could not reach Xi Lian's ankles, but she stirred up fine lines. I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but my toes like jade bamboo shoots flickered in the cold stream.

Li Xiujing watched quietly, feeling that the world seemed to be dimming at this moment. The people in front of him were like snow gathering in the moon, and what he looked at was like falling into the sea of ​​smoke.

When he was distracted, Pei Jiaoran had already put on his boots. Her hair was tied up casually, and she looked at him with a smile.

"How long do you plan to stand here, the governor?"

After saying coolly, Pei Jiaoran moved to leave before Li Xiujing.

She has no interest in blowing cold air here.

After returning to camp, the two of them had a hasty meal. Li Xiujing ordered the entire army to sacrifice the soldiers of the Wei army who died here.

He Liang gathered the remaining 600 people and stood in front of the tombs.

According to the Wei system, if any soldiers died in battle, their companions had to collect their bodies. As for the ceremony of burying the dead soldiers, there was no need to prepare an animal prison for the sacrifice, and there was no need to prepare a coffin for the burial. The order must be expedient and a compromise between severity and severity. If a soldier died in the realm of thieves, he not only had to drink a single cup of wine to offer sacrifices, but also had to dig the grave to a depth of four feet, and the general would lead the rest of his troops to mourn and offer sacrifices to the deceased.

If a person died in battle in this territory, the state government must return his remains to his hometown. If he died in enemy territory, he must bury him and leave a mark so that when the war situation permits, the Ministry of War can send someone to worship or collect the remains. Return home.

When the military bugle sounded, everyone, led by Li Xiujing, raised their glasses and bowed three times, and then sprinkled the wine on the ground. The wailing in the army grew louder.

Seemingly feeling something, Pei Jiaoran's eyes were filled with sadness, "I hope their souls can follow the wind back to their homeland and return to their families."

Hearing Pei Jiaoran's voice, Li Xiujing turned his head, "I believe that one day the imperial court will visit this land again. Bring their remains back to their homeland."

"I will definitely do it." Pei Jiaoran said warmly.

As the words fell, snow began to fall from the sky.

Pei Jiaoran stretched out his hand and watched the snow melt in his palm, letting out a light chuckle.

"Let's go, it's time for us to break camp and go back." Li Xiujing glanced at her, "This road may not be smooth, so be careful."

Pei Jiaoran nodded when he heard this and followed Li Xiujing back to pack his bags. Half an hour later, the remaining 600 people were ready to go.

"Let's go!" Li Xiujing said loudly, brandishing his sword.

The army marched out, and Pei Jiaoran rode on his horse. As she passed the hundreds of tombs, she cleared her throat and opened her red lips. A piece of "Nine Songs: Calling the Soul" composed by Qu Lingjun flowed out from her lips and teeth.

The singing is clearer and more melodious, and Wu's soft voice is quite moving, but there is no sadness in the tone, but it makes people feel passionate. All the sergeants were attracted by this and sang "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Formation". This is a military song composed by Emperor Taizongwen.

"The head of state accepted the law and resigned, and the ministers and generals attacked the rebellious ministers. Xian sang "The Music of Breaking the Formation" to reward the people of peace." Note 1

Listening to the elite cavalry behind him singing the formation-breaking music, Pei Jiaoran turned his head and looked at Li Xiujing, who was riding a horse beside him. Realizing that the other party was also watching, the two looked at each other and smiled.

The army returned along the original route.

Although Tubo had withdrawn its troops, Li Xiujing still did not dare to take it lightly. Zhizhi and Pei Jiaoran first went to explore the road ahead to confirm whether Tubo had set up an ambush ahead.

After all, Shang Qinling led 5,000 people out of the camp to trace his whereabouts, but they met Pei Jiaoran first, and were finally defeated by the two of them in a deep valley. The rest of Lun Kere was frightened and would probably send someone to find out the situation again, otherwise he would not be able to explain it to Tubo Zanpu after he returned.

Li Xiujing ordered the remaining 600 cavalry to ambush here temporarily. He only took Pei Jiaoran, He Liang and three others to explore the formation.

Caressing the army horse under her, Li Xiujing looked at Pei Jiaoran, "Jiaoran, are you afraid?"

"The governor is not afraid, so what am I afraid of?" Pei Jiaoran tightened the reins and smiled proudly, "Before Emperor Taizong Wen ascended the throne, he attacked Luoyang. When he and his general Egong Jingde spied on the Xia King's camp, he also said boldly, 'I I hold bows and arrows, and the prince follows me with horses and spears. Although there are millions of people, they can do nothing to me. 'I dare not compare myself to E Gong's respect for virtue, let alone Emperor Taizong Wen, but I should be able to join hands with the governor to defend against the enemy. "

When he stopped talking, Li Xiujing smiled, and he and Pei Jiaoran galloped forward together. Four others followed closely behind.

Just as Li Xiujing thought, Lun Kere sent more than a hundred riders in the forest to search for the whereabouts of Shang Qinling.

The six of them hid in the forest, looking at the more than a hundred Tubo cavalry advancing slowly in the forest.

At this moment, Li Xiujing suddenly galloped out on horseback, drew his bow and shot at the enemy's cavalry, shouting, "I am Li Xiujing, the governor of Guazhou."

Looking at Li Xiujing's back with a frown, Pei Jiaoran shook his head, reined in his reins and ran out, hunched over his waist, drew his bow and set an arrow to shoot at the Tubo cavalry.

"General, this..." Seeing that Tubo was trying to surround them, He Liang said in a deep voice.

"You go first. Jiaoran and I are good at riding and shooting. Let's come to the rear."

He Liang heard this and led the three men to go ahead.

Pei Jiaoran and Li Xiujing, one holding their bows and the other holding their horses' bridles, moved forward slowly, waving to the Tibetan pursuers behind them from time to time.

"The governor is so bored." Pei Jiaoran muttered as he bent down to avoid the incoming arrow.

Li Xiujing raised his eyebrows, "Why not kill them to avenge the fallen soldiers?"

Seeing the Tibetan pursuers getting closer and closer, Li Xiujing suddenly unsheathed his horse and held a spear, turned his head and rushed into the Tibetan formation, knocking him off his horse.

Seeing Li Xiujing's appearance, Pei Jiaoran took a deep breath and seemed to feel helpless. Panning their horses and bending their bows, they shot down one of them with one arrow.

The Tubo troops were chasing after them, and General Pi, who was taking the lead, was shocked when he saw Pei Jiaoran's face and shouted that he must be captured alive and brought back to the camp.

"Bah, the Tibetan thieves should not be so rampant!" Pei Jiaoran raised his bow and rebuked coldly.

With the military order from General Pi, the Tibetan cavalry behind them chased after them with whips raised. Although he was also afraid of the two of them, he was willing to let the two pieces of fat slip away like this and pursue them closely. But without exception, those who catch up to the front will be killed by the two of them.

The moment Tubo ran out of the dense forest, Li Xiujing suddenly blew a loud whistle. The sharp and piercing whistle fell, and the six hundred elite cavalry who were ambushing here jumped out and rushed towards the Tibetan cavalry with Mo Dao in hand.

The Tubo soldiers, who had already lost many people in the process of chasing them, were suddenly charged into the formation by 600 fine cavalry. In an instant, the morale of the army was in chaos, and they were all killed by Mo Dao.

The ambush was a good one. All the Tubo cavalry were wiped out here, and only about 30 of the 600 fine cavalry were injured.
