System prompt: Your big assist [Bai Xiangying] is online.

Changming and Luojiang Hongzao set out from Wangcheng and headed north along the road to Xuanhukou between Xiangcheng and Liancheng, and stayed at an inn.

Luo Jianghong glanced at Chang Ming, who was drinking tea leisurely, and asked doubtfully, "Are we just waiting here?"

"Naturally." After drinking the hot tea, Chang Ming felt his hands and feet finally warmed up. He took off his cloak and moved the brazier to his feet. There is Xiangcheng, and there is Liancheng in the south, which is the only place to pass through from the northern border to the royal city. However, it is snowing and it is not suitable for a long journey. Therefore, people who pass by must rest here for a night, replenish food and grass, and then make plans. "

Luo Jianghong nodded clearly, and asked, "Have you seen Bai Xiangying?"

"I met her a long time ago, I don't know, but the commander gave me her portrait." After speaking, he took out the portrait from his arms and handed it to Luo Jianghong.

Seeing that she was sure of everything, Luo Jianghong smiled happily.

"According to the calculation, Bai Xiangying should be here in the next few days, and we should pay special attention to it. She may also disguise herself to avoid chasing and killing." Chang Ming warned Luo Jianghong.

"Then will Qiao Zhuang become an old man?" Luo Jianghong raised his eyebrows and looked down.

Chang Ming also bowed his head. An old woman with gray and disheveled hair in the inn hall was talking to the shopkeeper. Her voice was hoarse, her back was hunched, and she was leaning on crutches. She seemed to be a bit old. The general wrinkles are also fully revealed, Luo Jianghong doubted: "It looks like she is getting older, but she walks steadily..."

As he said that, he was about to get up and go downstairs, but Chang Ming stopped him.

"Don't startle the snake. How could Bai Xiangying be so stupid? She changed her face into an old man. Even if she could use a cane, the wrinkles on her face could not be faked. The skin on her hands would be exposed without wrinkles."

Luo Jianghong suddenly realized and nodded.

As the end of the new year was approaching, there were fewer visitors, and after that, several elegant and luxurious women and a woman with a picture scroll came to stay.

"Without her?" Luo Jianghong asked in a low voice.

"Bai Xiangying has been stationed at the border for many years. She doesn't have those crooked thoughts to groom herself to look beautiful. Instead, she is used to keeping everything simple, so it is impossible to do those fancy things. But have you paid attention to the woman carrying the picture scroll?"

Hearing Chang Ming's words, Luo Jianghong thought about the woman's appearance carefully - she was dressed plainly, her long hair was simply tied up, and she was carrying a bundle with two scrolls inserted in it.

Chang Ming explained: "There are two scrolls stuck in her bag, isn't that hard to carry? If you don't pay attention along the way, you don't know if some scrolls fall down. Besides, I took a look and found that her two scrolls are very heavy. , How can there be such a long scroll? And when I was eating just now, I saw her hands, the left and right palms are thick and callous."

"I still don't understand..." Luo Jianghong was puzzled.

"The commander of the army said that Bai Xiangying's long [] spear is quite special, it can be disassembled into two pieces..."

"You mean..." Luo Jianghong suddenly realized and exclaimed: "Hidden in those two scrolls is her long [] gun! Because of disguise, but there is no way not to carry weapons, even if you can disguise it In the painting scroll, the tip of the gun at the front is still difficult to dispose of, so I can only hide the scroll in the bag. In order to prevent the iron objects from colliding and making noise, I have to wrap it with a thick drawing paper... and the palms are callous because of her Use guns for a long time!"

Chang Ming didn't say a word, but nodded in agreement.

"Are you sure it's her?" Luo Jianghong sat back in her seat and asked eagerly, "She doesn't look very similar to the portrait, her appearance is plain...even her whole face is black and white.

"Then have you ever thought that she can't do without some rouge and gouache in disguise, but she doesn't know how to use it herself..." Chang Ming looked at him with raised eyebrows, and then said with a smile: "Forget it, try it tonight and you'll know."

The northern Xinjiang is very cold. When the moon is in the middle of the sky, there is no sound of falling snow, only the crisp sound of branches breaking due to overwhelmed weight. This should be a good time to rest on the bed. There were a few light noises from outside the corridor, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

However, with a few slight noises caused by the whirling of clothes, the old woman had already arrived at the door, her figure was erratic and her hands and feet were agile, she didn't seem to be old at all, and anyone who saw it would be stunned.

She squatted down and opened the door of her room a thin crack.

The noise in the corridor has disappeared without a trace, only one person looked around outside, and then retreated cautiously into the house.

She thought for a while, understood it, closed the door, and continued to lie on the couch as an old woman.

Luo Jianghong asked him in surprise: "How do you know she is Bai Xiangying?"

"At a time like this, the grass and trees are all soldiers, and it is hard to sleep and eat. Who else can it be? Can it be said that everything today is a coincidence?"

"Then when shall we do it?"

"She wants to rush to the royal city as soon as possible. Not far from here is a forest path that is sparsely populated. Both places are hillsides. Even if she can't be killed, she will be crippled if she rolls down the hillside."

Bai Xiangying had experienced the battlefield for a long time and had a quick response. When Chang Ming drew a knife from behind her, she didn't know when she loaded the two spears and stepped forward to meet the enemy. Luo Jianghong, who was hiding behind the tree, hadn't recovered yet. The two are already fighting together.

When the white snow is flying, it is the earth and the sky.Silver spears and white knives intertwined in one place, the two of them were also dotted with cold stars, and the wind gusts dazzled the onlookers, but they couldn't bear to misjudge them.

Chang Ming slashed several times, but Bai Xiangying dexterously flashed past him. His eyes turned cold, he stepped back half a step, touched the ground with his toes, jumped up and fell down, and slashed straight down with the simplest saber technique. Bai Xiangying looked calm, Hold the long [] spear in both hands to block, then use the left hand to force and the right hand to lift up, □□walk half a circle along Tianxia Feishuang, apply force from the back of the knife from top to bottom, and easily suppress Chang Ming.

But the opponent didn't show any panic or reluctance, but the corner of his mouth was raised lightly. Bai Xiangying instinctively knew that something was wrong. In an instant, the man's left hand held the handle of the horizontal knife, and then flashed across the eyes, and the light outlined an arc. The halo of her body hadn't dissipated, and she felt the cold wind blowing past her ears. At this time, it was too late to close her gun to block, so she lowered herself, dodged Chang Ming's surprise attack, and took a step forward while his hands were outstretched. , hit his chest hard with his elbow, forcing him to take a few steps back, and the two stepped back for the time being.

It was only when he was gasping for breath that Bai Xiangying could see clearly that the light on the man's left hand was actually a shorter horizontal knife.

Chang Ming stood holding a long saber, and Bai Xiangying pointed the point of his spear to the ground. Just when the trigger was about to strike, both sides shot at the same time.

Spears and knives swept across the ground, falling snow rolled up like a curtain, collided and spread out, and fought to the death before the confrontation, at that moment Luo Jianghong thought that the ending of the two would be like this snowflake, both of them were crushed and their bones were broken, their hearts and lungs were entangled in one place.

The snow falls like a river, dense and fast, calm but turbulent. The blade of the flying frost in the world is like a white dragon coming out of the water, washing away the heavy lead, leaving time to condense. How many literati and inkmen can be left in love at a glance, and aftertaste for a hundred years.

In the snow, the two of them came and went each other, and the fight was inseparable. For a while, they were evenly matched. Chang Ming intended to attack, but was blocked by Bai Xiangying. On the scene, the two seemed to be on the same page, forgetting what they were doing, dancing like a frightened bird, amazed.

Bai Xiangying flipped her wrist, and the spear turned like a rainbow, stabbing straight at Chang Ming's right shoulder.Chang Ming was not in a hurry to dodge, he blocked the horizontal knife with his right hand at will, turned around with the gun barrel, and was waiting for the knife with his left hand, but Bai Xiangying reacted nimbly, and passed Li Changming with the force of the long spear leaning forward , the two walked steadily, sweeping up snowflakes and jumping for joy, each turned their backs and then turned around suddenly, before they could even see clearly, they clashed with swords and guns.

"Zheng!——"

Gold and iron intersect, Shuo Xue shakes off, the two of them seem to be in the prosperous pear blossoms, everything in front of them is like an illusion, the world is alone.

Bai Xiangying leaned on the ground, and swept across his feet in relay, directly hitting Chang Ming's neck, while Chang Ming landed on the tip of the gun and kicked his legs to meet them. The strength of each other was almost the same. Taking advantage of the gap, Bai Xiangying stabbed him in the waist and abdomen with a spear, but Chang Ming seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and his figure flashed to see the gun passing by, his waist was attached to the long [] gun, and after turning around a few times, he was only a few feet away from Bai Xiangying However, if Bai Xiangying is unable to guard against it in time, he can only be the victim of his sword.

But Bai Xiangying's expression never wavered in the slightest. With a movement of his arm, the gun barrel hit Chang Ming's waist painfully, breaking the strength of Chang Ming's whole body with one move, and staggered a few steps to one side. If the opponent was not the commander of the seventh battalion, Bai Xiangying would have The trick is not to break the tendons and fracture the bones, but to get palpitations and palpitations.

The good opportunity that Chang Ming had managed to snatch was another miss, he immediately used his body strength to hit the long knife, and the blade immediately circled all the way along the barrel of the gun. If Bai Xiangying was caught without a fight, he would be crushed into flesh in a short while.

What kind of character is Bai Xiangying, Chang Ming can know what he wants by flipping his wrist a few times, he uses his arm to hold the palm of his hand and exert force, let go of the spear and rotate it in the opposite direction, when the sword and gun meet, he can hear the sound of gold and iron horses, Liu Guang reflected the snow, so dazzling that you couldn't look directly at it, the long knife was beaten back by this force, and almost fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of this flash, Chang Ming threw the short knife in his hand at the moment when the long knife stopped, and took the long knife as a cover, making it difficult for Bai Xiangying to see his eyes and ears, and severely injured his right shoulder with one move.

He had indeed lost his weapon at this time, and Bai Xiangying's right shoulder was pierced, and his arm was hard to move. He saw that the figure in front of him was flickering, and he had already arrived in front of him. ] Gun, the fist of his right hand is only a few inches away from her.

"who!"

Suddenly there was someone shouting from behind, Chang Ming turned his head and saw a few figures dressed as hunters looking around. He turned around and pulled Luo Jianghong, who was still in a daze, to escape.

"The timing is not good, I don't want to be interrupted, but that hillside is extremely steep, I watched Bai Xiangying fall down with my own eyes, and was severely injured by me again, there is no way out." Li Changming comforted the restless Luo Jiang Hong said.

"Is she really dead?"

"Do you think I'm showing mercy to her?!" Chang Ming put down the Tianxia Feishuang that he was wiping, and asked sharply, "Not to mention that I will lose a lot of blood after drawing the knife, and I can kick people's internal organs with one kick." It’s bad, it’s freezing cold now, and the hillside never returns, so it won’t be long before I’m going to be frozen to death!”

Seeing that he was so angry, Luo Jianghong quickly comforted him, apologizing and apologizing, which made it easy for him to calm down.

"I'll pour you tea, drink a cup of tea, don't be angry." Luo Jianghong held the teacup in front of him courteously, Chang Ming took it with a cold snort, and when he was about to drink it, he saw the anticipation in Luo Jianghong's eyes , I suddenly felt nauseated, put the teacup on the table, excused that I needed to sleep, and left first.

When Chang Ming returned in a hurry, Bai Xiangying was still awake.

"How is the general?"

Lu Qiu Eryang was checking Bai Xiangying's pulse, Gu Liang Yiqing and Chu Guangliang were brewing medicine, and Helian Qingxian in the distance helped his sister wash off the lines on her face, and tore off the camouflage gloves on her hands. The old woman turned into this astonishing woman again in the blink of an eye.

"Everything went well. The officer caught General Bai who fell down the hill in time, and Ah Liang came just in time, so he sent the general here. Fortunately, the battalion commander stopped him at the inn that day, otherwise Luo Jianghong would come forward , I'm afraid the lower officials won't be able to hide it anymore." He Lianxian thought of this lightly, and still felt lingering fear.

"After a busy day, it's considered stable. We'll just wait for the general to wake up." Chu Guangliang replied, "Yiqing has prepared the carriage and will leave tomorrow to take her to the royal city... But has everything been taken care of by the battalion commander? "

"I have already sent Luo Jianghong back to Wangcheng, but I lied about returning to Jianhe Valley, and rushed here halfway... I am afraid that the general will not be able to wake up if the attack is insignificant."

"Battalion Commander, don't worry." Lu Qiu Eryang twisted the quilt for Bai Xiangying on the bed, and turned to Chang Ming, "None of them are fatal injuries. Everything is properly arranged. The rescue is timely, and there is no serious problem."

In the evening, Gu Liang reported that it was sunny, Bai Xiangying had already woken up, and Chang Ming got up to pay a visit.

The general took off his disguise and sat upright on his seat. He wore a simple white military shirt and a purple gold crown on his head. The color is white.Chang Ming has seen many women, either fresh and refined, or well-mannered, but none of them are like this, with steep cliffs and steep ancient manners, they are naturally majestic.Her complexion was stained by the river of war, her temples were covered with wind and frost, her battle armor condensed into iron, better than silk and satin, and her spear dripped blood into a river, forgetting spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Chang Ming remembered that this was the No. 20 three-year period when Bai Xiangying defended northern Xinjiang.

At the beginning of this chapter, Luo Jianghong saw something, and suspected an old woman, but was stopped by Chang Ming, saying that it was impossible--that old woman was actually He Lianxian pretending to be light, in order to be able to find her in time. Passing the news to Chu Guangliang and the others, Chang Ming stopped him just to prevent Luo Jianghong from approaching the old woman to notice anything.The lines on He Lianxian's face are caused by makeup, and there are gloves on the wrinkled skin on his hands, but you can find it when you look closely!
