It's better to fall in love than seize the heir

The night was dark.

There are slight ripples on the broad and calm river, and the bright moon is covered by clouds so that a few beams of moonlight cannot fly.Only a few lanterns on the water village in front of Feiyujin were shaking, reflecting a faint light in the dark night.

The soldier on the water village yawned, leaned against the wall with his halberd in his hand, and fiddled with the lantern on the top with his hands bored.

"Don't be so boneless and lazy, be careful that Wang Laoliu will see you later, and I will give you a hard reprimand!" The soldier who was also guarding beside him laughed and beat him, and leaned on him lazily.

"What are you afraid of? Damn Xipi, at this point, the dogs are afraid that they have already rested. Besides us unlucky ones, who else would come out to blow the cold wind in the middle of the night?" The original soldier snorted. , simply put the weapon aside on the ground, leaned forward and stretched his muscles and bones, "If you want me to say, our brother's life is still hard. According to the bullshit virtue of the imperial court, I don't know that it will take years for the army to come. Now they say yes Watching the night at Feiyujin, but they are just being sent here to pass the time."

"Isn't it because you didn't know how to play cards a few days ago and offended Wang Laoliu? Otherwise, why would you be sent to look out at this hour... Hey, I think it will appear at this time, I'm afraid it's just something The mountain ghost is a monster!"

"Bah, don't talk nonsense, kid!" The soldier slapped the head of the person next to him cursingly, "Hurry up and go back to your side, I'll close my eyes and squint for a while, and call me when the time comes."

The other shrugged and could only respond casually.But the words should be answered, he looked at the dark and extremely calm river under the moonlight, but quickly turned his head away without interest.

In the middle of the night, he still has to work outside, and when it is daytime after these hours, he will have to sleep well to make up for it.

……

across the river.

"Have you brought everything?" Liang Yan stood tall and straight on the beach, his deep eyebrows and eyes outlined by the moonlight were more three-dimensional.At this time, he was holding the long sword by his side with one hand, and his sharp eyes scanned the surrounding people and horses.

There are several sailing boats moored here and there on the river, each with a boatman holding a long pole. There is no need to hang a lantern under the black canopy. The experienced old boatmen can take advantage of the moonlight to relax Identify each waterway that is already familiar.

The vanguards in the ship had already returned to their positions and were on standby. They all carried an airtight tarpaulin bag behind them, which was full of wrapped oil lumps and flint.All of these vanguards were carefully selected soldiers who were especially good at swimming. They moved neatly and quickly, and they could skillfully hide their figures in the dark.

"If you go back to the general, we are all ready!" The leading soldier clasped his fists and replied. After meeting the eyes of the surrounding people, he nodded firmly to Liang Yan, signaling that they were ready to leave at any time.

"Okay, then let me talk about the arrangements for tonight's night raid for the last time." Liang Yan turned around, pacing back and forth in front of Yan Yun, who was dark and silent behind him, "The boatmen will send the advance team to the boat later. To the center of the river, this is also the maximum that the water village can observe. When the boatmen return to the center of the river, the first team will swim across, and set fire to their water village when they reach the other side. When the fire is seen, it is time for the rest of us to act."

He paused, then continued, his deep eyes were as cold as solid ice obsidian, "I will personally lead the cavalry to float across the water and attack the water village and their camp. When the battle comes, we will attack in separate ways. The lieutenants led the troops to burn their warships, and then returned to the camp, attacking from both sides, they must be wiped out. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

What responded to him was a low-pitched but powerful and concise answer. Wherever he looked, every soldier's face was filled with indomitable bravery and absolute trust and obedience.During the decades of wind and snow in the northern region, they never flinched for a moment.Now the battlefield has been replaced by the hot and humid Southwest, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the heroic and firm fighting spirit of Yan Yunqi.

Looking at the tiger and wolf soldiers brought out by himself, Liang Yan couldn't help but feel relieved.They have fought side by side for many years, so there is no need to say much about the tacit understanding with Zi Tongpao.

"Okay, let's go!"

The moment the voice fell to the ground, the boat on the river swayed and rippled with the movement of the long pole and headed towards the opposite bank at a high speed.Except for the faint sound of water waves, there is no other sound in my ears.These ships seem to be covered with a layer of gray mist, and they shuttle across the vast river like ghosts in the night.

As the night grew darker, the soldiers above the water village yawned, unable to hide their tiredness, and their eyelids were fighting up and down, almost sticking together and difficult to separate.

The center of the river arrived soon, and after nodding with the boatmen, the soldiers hidden on the boat jumped into the water nimbly and vigorously, and continued to swim towards the opposite bank quickly like light fish swimming.The river water slapping against the shore conceals the approaching figure, and the occasional small black dots that rise and fall on the water surface are so inconspicuous because they quickly disappear into the water waves.

The drowsy soldiers still didn't know that a group of people who they thought were thousands of miles away were quietly approaching right under their noses.

After quietly getting out of the water, the soldiers wiped the river water on their faces, and spread out quickly. They took out oil lumps from their rucksacks and scattered them beside the water village. Hid in a nearby bush.

The sparks touched the slightly melting oil lumps, and immediately exploded with a "boom", spreading rapidly with lightning speed.The glare of the flames and the scorching heat mixed together, and soon the soldiers who were sleepy just now woke up in fright, trembling and wanting to run around.

"Come on! It's on fire!"

Trembling all over, they rolled and fell off the water stronghold. Before they could extinguish the flames on their bodies, they were wiped cleanly on the neck by the pioneers who had already been lurking aside.

"set off!"

Liang Yan had already floated to the center of the river with the rest of his soldiers and horses to wait, when he saw a sudden burst of flames on the other side, his eyes suddenly froze, and he raised his sword and shouted loudly.

"kill!"

The sky-shattering roar sounded, and the well-trained soldiers quickly arrived on the other side. Without the interference of water barriers and watchtowers, the operation of crossing the river was even easier than usual exercises.Those soldiers who were frightened by the sudden fire didn't even have time to save their lives, let alone have time to shoot arrows to stop them. The rapidly advancing army seemed to be in no one's land.

Flames unscrupulously devoured everything encountered on the road, and the gate of Feiyujin's camp was soon distorted and blurred by the oncoming heat, and the sound of crackling firelight with ominous signs woke up the still sleeping Numerous new security forces.

Yan Yunqi, who was as sharp as a blade, pierced straight into the heart of the enemy army. Wherever the horse's hooves stepped, there were endless wailing and winding bloodstains.The Xin'an army, who had just woken up from sleep, was almost helpless in the face of such a group of hungry wolf-like opponents.After struggling with all his strength, he could only squirt out strands of blood and be submerged in the raging torrent.

Liang Yan was dressed in black armor, and his sharp brows and eyes were so cold that there was hardly any warmth.He was like an evil god descending from the sky, rushing towards the middle of the enemy group with a swift and fierce murderous aura like wind and thunder.As soon as Zhan Liu's sword flower shining with silver light was pulled, the soldiers blocking the way fell backwards and fell heavily on the sand, causing a puff of dust and smoke.

"After cleaning up these tents, you go around to the main tent from the northwest corner." Liang Yan moved his neck, and looked straight at the main tent not far away with cold and emotionless eyes. His profile was reflected in vivid light and shadow, like Shura walking in the dark and silently taking people's lives.

"Yes!" The soldier behind him responded forcefully, licked his lips, and swung his sword towards the enemy with a bloodthirsty light in his eyes.

"General, general, wake up! Outside...outsiders are coming in!" The confidant rushed into the main tent, shaking Wang Qi's arm in horror.

Wang Qi was having a sweet dream. After being shaken awake, he pushed him to the ground impatiently, rubbed his eyes and shouted angrily, "What are you screaming for? It's the middle of the night, didn't you see that I was sleeping?"

"Wake up, General! The enemy army is coming in!" Seeing that he was still not fully awake and reacting, the confidant almost vomited a mouthful of old blood, and regretted in every possible way why he had to let his temper go blindly.It's all right now, not to mention that I didn't get the official position, I'm afraid that my own life will be confessed here today.

"What?" Wang Qi woke up suddenly. Looking back on what he meant, his face was pale and his eyes widened in disbelief. "What did you say? This, how is this possible...how could they be so Come to Wanzhou soon? Where is the water village? Are all the night watchmen on the water village blind!"

"General, please make up your mind! The enemy army has come to the front, should we fight or flee?" The confidant was so anxious that he almost cried out. He heard the outside of the tent getting closer and closer. There was a lot of shouting, beating, and killing, and my legs were shaking so much that I almost couldn't stand still.

"You, what are you panicking... There must be a way, there must be a way!" Wang Qi frantically circled around in the main tent, and suddenly his eyes lit up as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. He opened the curtain and wanted to go out, "There is our army all the way from Jinyang City to Feiyujin. As long as we take a few people out in a surprise attack and board the warship moored by the river, we can go back along the river... Hurry up! and--"

Before he could finish his sentence, the warm smile on his face that was almost distorted suddenly froze.

There was another deafening "boom", followed by strong explosions one after another.From the main tent, one can clearly see that the huge warship moored on the river in the distance is now burning and rising with fierce flames, making the river water red under the dark night, and the heat wave is spreading in the air. , rushing towards us.

"It's over, this time it's completely over..." Wang Qi stood still in the same place, suddenly trembling all over, and ran towards the horse not far away like crazy, "Run away, run away... As long as I escape from Feiyujin, as long as I escape! I can go back and ask Grandpa to send troops over..."

His footsteps came to a sudden stop, and before he had time to completely stop his body, he staggered and managed to avoid falling to the ground in embarrassment.

A meteor-like silver light flashed before his eyes, followed by his beloved war horse falling heavily to the ground with a whine, and the dark red blood splashed on the sand with a "swipe" sound.

A tall and straight figure walked out of the darkness without haste, and the cold moonlight could only half illuminate his face, making him seem to be surrounded by a sprite-like mystery.He walked slowly step by step, every step made Wang Qi's heart stop beating suddenly.

"Long time no see, Mr. Wang... No, I should call you General Wang now?"

Liang Yan flicked Xia Zhanliu's sword with his fingers, and spoke in a low voice.The few remaining blood beads immediately jumped out with the buzzing of the silver blade, and splashed straight on Wang Qi's face impartially. Even the warm temperature could not save his gradually cooling heart.

Wang Qi's face was pale, and a short, shrill and vague cry came from his throat.His calf was throbbing like a cramp, as if he could no longer support his body, his whole body fell limply and slipped to the ground.

Yes, it was him... The person sent by the court turned out to be him.

In his mind, he recalled the bitter ridicule he and Shen Jinghe had made when he was in Taixue, and countless times of malicious exclusion.Thinking of his arrogant and sarcastic smiling face at that time, Wang Qi felt that he would almost faint in the next second, and trembled from his hair to his fingertips due to the great fear that clenched his entire heart and lungs.

"I, I don't want to die...Liang Yan, please spare me! Please forgive me..."

Wang Qi spoke with a dry voice, his words trembling out of tune.He seemed to be in a purgatory, surrounded by the tragic scene of his soldiers being slaughtered mercilessly, the screams and wailing sounded from time to time, accompanied by the burning flames and the pungent smell of blood , so that Feiyujin, which was still picturesque in the daytime, just wanted people to escape regardless, to escape from this boundless sea of ​​fire and blood.

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have treated you that way before! I was wrong! Please forgive me...I can give you all the soldiers and horses under my command!"

Liang Yan half-closed his eyes, looked down at the panic-stricken Wang Qi, and snorted coldly, "Your soldiers and horses? I'm afraid there will be none left after tonight. As for those things before—"

He took a step closer, with an inexplicable expression on his face in the darkness of night, "I have never paid attention to your clumsy schemes that are not on the table."

Wang Qi raised his head in fear, not knowing what expression to put on his face, "Then you..."

Liang Yan's temperament suddenly changed suddenly at the next moment.He leaned down slightly, a storm of anger was brewing in those dark eyes at the moment, the dangerous and gloomy aura seemed to tear people into pieces, and let the roaring storm tear people apart mercilessly.

"But you shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't have put your dirty tricks on him." Liang Yan's eyes deepened, and his raging anger burst out unabashedly, "You have no right to touch him ...I swore a long time ago that sooner or later, I will make all of you regret it."

Wang Qi's whole body seemed to be nailed in place, his limbs were cold and stiff, he subconsciously opened his mouth wide, but he was too scared to utter a word.

"And today, it's time for you to regret it."

No more nonsense, the sharp and eye-catching sword light flashed, like a silver dragon's claws tearing apart the night sky with lightning.When Guijian was put into its sheath, the person in front of him also spit blood and twitched, and he no longer had any breath.

Liang Yan didn't say a word, just stood up straight again, closed his eyes deeply, and barely suppressed the overflowing anger just now.

He will always remember how difficult that person was at that time, and the mud full of filth was eyeing to drag him down together.However, there always seemed to be such a beam of light that would never go out on his body, not only illuminating every step he stepped on, but also suddenly lighting up a place in his life that had never been touched by anyone. The dazzling light dazzled and fascinated him, and he couldn't help being attracted, wanting to get closer.

Once he had this warmth, he never wanted to let it go.

Glancing at Wang Qi's body lying on the ground for the last time, Liang Yan turned his head and left expressionlessly, walking towards the battle that was gradually coming to an end, following the winding road of blood and scattered weapons.

And for all the people who coveted to destroy this warmth, he would search for the past one by one, and make them regret having such an idea.

"General, Feiyujin has almost been cleaned up!" The lieutenant trotted forward to meet him, his face was scorched by the heat of the flames, but his eyes were shining brightly, "The troops guarding Feiyujin also It is almost half of the main force of the vanguard of the Xin'an Army. Although their number is still not to be underestimated further south, the loss of this army here will definitely hurt their vitality! At least they can imagine what they did in the past It is absolutely impossible to go on a rampage in Wanzhou."

"Very good, all the soldiers have worked hard." Liang Yan nodded, and ordered the soldiers to clean up the battle situation and collect available military supplies. "Rest well tonight, and we will continue to head south tomorrow!"

"Yes!" The lieutenant replied decisively.

Liang Yan didn't speak again, but just looked into the distance with deep and distant eyes.The night is like water, the river tide beats against the rocks on the shore, and the silvery moonlight dances on the undulating river.

When everything is over, I can hug you again.
