[Sword Three] Sky Spear

Sister, General Geshu and General Yang.

Ever since Li Lingxuan died in battle at Wulaoguan, Shen Mo has always carried a wine bag with her senior sister's favorite burning knife.Mo Mo used to not drink at all, so he was laughed at by his senior sister countless times for this reason. It was not until the senior sister was gone that he finally tasted the burning knife for the first time, which choked him to tears.

After offering sacrifices to the heroes, the brothers and sisters sat opposite each other and drank wine under the moonlight.Xiao Yushu crouched secretly in the shadow not far away, staring straight at Xia Houfeng with both eyes.

Today's Xiaofeng is a fully grown young man, no longer the immature and tenderness of the past, but more and more beautiful and heroic.

Xiao Yushu scratched his head with a stomach ache, and wanted to get closer, but he was afraid of being kicked back by Xia Houfeng, so he had to shrink back and dig the dirt.He really didn't remember the military division saying that Xiaofeng would also come to the Four Towns of Anxi.He originally thought that he would probably never see him in this life.

Then he noticed that Xiaofeng suddenly looked back at him.

It was like sensing the scorching heat in his vision.

"Come here if you want." Xiaofeng's voice sounded cold, without much emotional ups and downs.

Xiao Yushu couldn't tell whether it was an invitation or a mockery for a moment, so he just stood up, still standing in the shadow under the eaves, staring blankly at Xia Houfeng.

Shen Mo also looked at the junior brother, although he didn't say anything, but he didn't hide the suspicion in his eyes.

Xia Houfeng turned back to look at her senior brother, took a sip of wine, and lowered her eyes in silence for a long time.

"Brother, actually... when Master left, this guy was also in the mansion."

Silence was taken aback.

When Xiaofeng's master, General Yang Ningyang, died heroically for the country, it was the time when Tiance Mansion was besieged by heavy troops from Anlu Mountain and finally couldn't support it and had to retreat to preserve its strength.

After Xiaofeng left the Valley of the Wicked, Xiao Yushu met another fellow student in the Valley of the Wicked.

This Tiance was captured by Evilman Valley, and his name is Li Mingyu.

Xiao Yushu knew that most Tiances no longer regarded him as a fellow student.Li Mingyu may have already been like this.But in Xiao Yushu's heart, Li Mingyu will always have a place.

Li Mingyu was Xiao Yushu's senior brother who led him to practice guns and race horses when he first entered Tiance Mansion.At that time, he was just a young man who was full of enthusiasm and wanted to contribute to his family and country, and he was not the sloppy and lazy look he is now.

Just like silence to Xia Houfeng, he also had such a senior brother who cared for him in every possible way.

Even when he was haunted by resentment and killed someone back then, Senior Brother Li still never gave up on him. On the contrary, he tried hard to persuade him and pleaded for him many times, but he did not listen to Senior Brother's advice, and instead committed even greater murders. In the end, he was expelled from the gate wall and could only survive in the Valley of the Evil.

Since his defection, he has never seen Senior Brother Li again, and he never wanted to meet again, but he saw Senior Brother Li was captured and thrown back to the Yinqueshi in the Valley of the Evil to test the human gu.

Those were the most torturous days that Xiao Yushu had experienced in his life.

Every day he watched Li Mingyu being tormented by the weird Silver Sparrow Envoy until he was neither human nor ghost. He tried to plead with the owner of the valley, but to no avail. He wanted to simply rescue Senior Brother Li, but he was afraid.

He didn't dare to appear in front of Li Mingyu, lest Senior Brother Li would spurn him and scold him angrily.

Those memories of being brothers in the old days are the few good things left in his heart, and he is reluctant to part with them.

So he hesitated and wandered around the dungeon where Li Mingyu was held every day.

Until he saw Li Mingyu being brought out by that Wanhua "Lengyue".

With just one glance from a distance, he knew that Li Mingyu would not live for half a day.

He no longer has any brothers.

It was only later that he heard that Li Mingyu endured all the pain to cause Yinqueshi to fail again in the human Gu trial, and Ren Yinqueshi never gave in to torture no matter how harshly he tortured him.

At that time, his heart suddenly went empty, and he wanted to say: "Ah, you are indeed Senior Brother Li... you are indeed the General of my Great Tiance Mansion!" But he couldn't say it at all.

He is not eligible.

Never was there a moment when I realized my own filth and depravity more clearly.

It was as if, he had already understood why Xiaofeng despised him, why Xiaofeng looked at him with that expression and said firmly that they were "different".

He was just afraid to admit it.

Because once he admits it, he has to admit the fact that he has avoided for many years - Tiance Mansion has never failed Xiao Yushu, it is Xiao Yushu who has failed Tiance Mansion.

He once owned the glory that belonged to Tiance, but he abandoned it with his own hands.

When the news of Fan Yang's rebellion in Anlu Mountain came, Xiao Yushu quietly left the Valley of the Evil without saying anything to anyone.

He returned to Luoyang, and once again stood at the gate of Tiance Mansion after a long absence.

So many years have passed, things have changed, people have changed, and the sea has changed. Few people still recognize his face that has already been described as a great change.On the way, he casually touched the token of a drunken Tang army, lied that there was an emergency military report, and sneaked into the mansion to meet the mansion master and the military adviser.

He said that he knew he was wrong and wanted to come back to help in the battle, and begged the palace master to allow him to stay. When the bandits were gone, he would be willing to make an explanation for the sins he committed back then.

So the palace master and the military adviser kept him, gave him a new armor, and a pseudonym.

When he walked out of the King Qin Palace, he saw Xiaofeng standing beside Yang Ning.

Xiaofeng also saw him and recognized him, but did not expose him.

He finally returned to Tiance Mansion, put on the iron armor again, held the silver gun again, fought a hearty battle for this hot land he could never forget, and for the never-extinguished ray of Tiance Soul in his heart, and suffered a lot. Injured, fell on the road after the evacuation.

He originally thought that he could die an honorable death without regrets.

So when he woke up at the campsite and found Xiaofeng looking down at him, for a moment, he thought he had arrived in the Land of Ultimate Bliss.

It was Xiaofeng who rushed back single-handedly and picked him up on the horse's back.

He pillowed on Xiaofeng's lap, felt the unprecedented warmth of this body and this embrace, and heard Xiaofeng ask him in a low voice: "Why did you come back?"

Those extremely beautiful phoenix eyes were drooping, and there were too many colors that he didn't understand but was very addicted to.

So he immediately got carried away, and grinned hoarsely, "Hehe" amused twice, "Because I can't bear you."

Then he was slapped by Xiaofeng who was frowning again and slapped him to a tree with crooked neck next to him.

But Xiao Yushu was still happy in his heart.

Anyway, Xiaofeng turned around and rescued him, can you explain that he is no longer the scum of the teacher who everyone wants to kill and wishes for him to die sooner?At least, Xiaofeng still cared about him, and didn't let him die quietly.

But Xiaofeng's master died in battle, the "Sky Spear" General Yang who was always talked about by young people with infinite pride.

Even Li Lingxuan died in Luoyang Wulao Pass.

Xiao Yu has no way of knowing whether Xiaofeng witnessed the heroism of the blood-stained mountains and rivers at the moment of the death of his mentor, all he saw in his eyes was a taciturn and grieving figure.

Xiaofeng didn't say anything, just raised her head and stared at the pale moon all night, watching it appear and disappear in the clouds, from circle to disappear.

Only once, Xiao Yushu saw Xiaofeng open her mouth soundlessly.

The young Tiance didn't cry, but called to the boundless darkness over and over again: Master, Senior Sister... But no one answered him anymore.

There was a sudden and unbearable pain in my heart, as if a wound had burst. When I regained my senses, Xiao Yushu had already rushed forward and hugged him tightly into his arms.

That was the first time Xiaofeng didn't push away his active touch.

Soon after, a military order came to transfer Xiao Yushu to Chang'an, and Xiaofeng followed General Cao.

The army is in chaos, and the smoke of war is raging. No one knows whether they will be able to survive tomorrow, or when they will be lucky enough to see each other again.

On the eve of his departure, Xiaofeng came to find Xiao Yushu, directly pushed him to the ground, and when he tore each other's armor, he almost tore open the wound that hadn't fully healed.

Xiao Yushu forgetfully hugged the person he had missed for several years, as if he wanted to drain each other for the rest of his life, he just wanted to explain all the unpredictable tomorrows at this moment.

When embracing each other indulgently, he couldn't help kissing Xiaofeng.

Then he froze suddenly.Xiaofeng was also obviously stunned for a moment.

He has never been able to kiss Xiaofeng.Every time he pretended to be careless and lazily approached, Xiaofeng would avoid or forcefully push him away.

But this time, Xiaofeng did not refuse him.

Xiao Yushu didn't know what this unexpected kiss meant.Maybe it's just a little fragility unconsciously revealed under sadness.But it doesn't matter, he can remember this kiss for a lifetime.

Xiao Yushu was drunk.

When I woke up the next day, it was in the silent calling.

"Old Xiao, get up, it's time to go." Lieutenant Shen frowned and shook him, almost kicking his head.

Xiao Yushu rubbed his head that was so painful that it was about to split, and hummed: "Didn't you say yesterday that it doesn't matter if I go or not—"

Before he finished speaking, he was picked up by Shen Mo and carried aside.

Lieutenant Shen's face was as deep as water, and he lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I still feel the same way now. But Xiaofeng is watching you. Whether you want to maintain your dignity and decency as a general is up to you."

Xiao Yushu's heart was shaken, and he looked up to see Xia Houfeng who had already led the horse not far away. He quickly stood up and straightened his crooked military robe and armor.

The three of them went straight to the Protectorate's Mansion in the prefectural city of Qiuci, and handed over the appointment order of the mansion master to the four towns to stay behind.

Staying behind was extremely amazed, and repeatedly marveled at how the three of them broke through the blockade of the Tubo people and entered the city without anyone noticing.

Silence feared that they would offend Mr. Left Behind by intruding without permission, so he apologized repeatedly, expressing that he didn't intend to be disrespectful at all, but it was really forced by the situation, so I implore Haihan.
