[Sword Three] Sky Spear

After leaving the city, he took the way back to Hehe and returned to Datang for help.

On the eve of departure, it is customary to drink a glass of oath wine.Helpless, Xiao Yushu refused to let it go, saying it was unlucky.Shen Mo didn't like alcohol at first, so he went along with him.

Xiao Yushu yelled that he was used to sleeping lazily for so many years in the Valley of the Wicked, and silently set the breakout time at Yinshi. He was afraid that he would not be able to get up, so he crawled into the bed early, and at about Mozishi, he opened his eyes suddenly Roll down to the ground.

The moonlight outside the window was like a shadow, and everything was silent, except for the slight sound of a sharp weapon tearing the wind.

He saw Xia Houfeng practicing spears in the school grounds.

It's just the most common all the way to the thunder gun, but he made it into a thousand changes, like a secret.

Xiao Yushu stared at it for a long time, until Xia Houfeng stopped, and he barely caught his eye.

Xiao Yushu walked forward slowly, put both hands on Xiaofeng's shoulders, carefully looked at the pair of sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes that he loved so much, and said in a low voice: "Tomorrow you must keep going forward, don't look back, don't be like you again." Same as last time."

Xia Houfeng stared at his eyes, still expressionless on his face, only the flowing light in his eyes seemed to be reflected softly by the moonlight.He asked Xiao Yushu: "Back then, why did you leave Tiance Mansion?"

After so many years, Xia Houfeng finally asked Xiao Yushu this question.

Xiao Yushu stared blankly at Xiaofeng's eyes for a long time, then smiled wryly.

How much he wished he could explain, could open up the conversation and talk about what happened back then.

But he can't.

No grievances, no misunderstandings, no grievances.

It's just that the girl he married with his fingertips fell in love with a rich man in the city and wanted to break off the engagement with him.

He beat the rich man to death in a fit of anger.

The rich man was not originally good, and he also had a few evil deeds that could be brought out.

At that time, Tiance Mansion really wanted to protect him.Whether it was Senior Brother Li, Zhu Canjun, or even the Palace Master, they all advised him time and again, asking him to think of his own sins in the Palace and avoid the limelight.

But he didn't listen to the persuasion, he insisted on running away from the mansion, and ran to the girl to ask for an explanation, but was scolded by the girl severely.

The girl scolded him as a wimp, saying that although the rich man was not a good man, he gave her money to bury his father who died of illness and settle his mother for her, while Xiao Yushu was just a poor soldier with neither money nor family, what? He couldn't give her, not even a shoulder when she was the most lonely and helpless, so what right did she have to accuse her of disliking the poor and loving the rich.

He heard the girl bitterly say that she never had a crush on him, that if it wasn't for her parents' orders, she would never marry him, and even if she didn't marry that rich man, she would rather die than marry a man like him.

In a fit of rage, he killed the girl too.

He killed innocent people, but he was still a weak woman with no ability to resist. The Tiance Mansion could no longer protect her, so he had to order his arrest.

He didn't dare to go back to Tiance Mansion, so he simply fled to the Valley of the Wicked in order to survive.

Over the years, he never forgot the girl staring into his eyes before she died.

Those eyes were full of hatred.Not only hate him, but also hate the injustice of heaven.

He always knew that he didn't like that girl very much at the beginning, he was just poked at his humble self-esteem, and he was childish and ridiculously unable to control his emotions, so he connived himself to raise the butcher knife to vent the malice accumulated in his heart.

In fact, he regretted it at that time.However, it was too late to regret.

Ever since he set foot on the road to the Four Towns of Anxi, he began to dream frequently of the dead girl coming to ask him for her life.

Just now, he dreamed of her again, and woke up again with the suffocating feeling of being pinched by the throat.

Xiao Yushu thought this might be a sign.

Killing for life is justified.

On the day he returned to Tiance Mansion, he once told the mansion master and the military adviser that he would be willing to give an explanation for the sins he had committed when he retreated from the wolf teeth.But the army division sent him to Anxi.

Maybe this is his confession.

He wants to be here and pay the price he should pay.

Xiao Yushu pulled the corners of his lips bitterly, finally shook his head, and said to Xia Houfeng again: "Remember, don't turn back."

He refused to speak, and Xiaofeng didn't force her to ask, she just looked at him quietly for a long time, then suddenly she turned her head slightly and moved her lips close to his.

The beautifully shaped thin lips are so gentle and warm, so familiar to the touch, yet so strange.

Xiaofeng kissed him, and for the first time, kissed him on her own initiative.

Xiao Yushu shuddered all over, and the tears that he hadn't shed since he was ten years old poured out silently.

Yinshi is the time when the people are the most besieged and the defense is weak, but it does not mean how easy it is to break through the encirclement with a [-] army.

Fucheng originally had a small number of troops, and they didn't know when they would be supported by the imperial army, so they didn't dare to take risks easily, and they didn't know how many people would cover Tiance's breakout. The three Tiances and Ye Tan quietly sneaked out of the city from the north.

When the Tubo army realized that it was time for the east to attack the west, the four of them, like a sudden attack, cut a bloody path through the encircled army, seized the horses, and killed the generals.

But the disparity in numbers is too great after all.

The Tubo people intended to isolate the Tang army in Anxi, and when they woke up, they knew that they must be the troops sent by the Tang army for help, so they immediately gathered an elite cavalry to chase them up, roaring and shouting, and wanted to intercept and kill them at the foot of Tianshan Mountain.He also urgently sent a letter to the Huihe people stationed in Tianshan Mountain to cooperate with the encirclement.

Because once these Tang troops are allowed to cross the Tianshan Mountains and disappear, it will be difficult to find them.

Silence is also very clear in my heart.

Huihe is now joining hands with Tubo to invade the Tang Dynasty, but its strength is much weaker than that of Tubo. Taking the way to Huihe is only a bad idea, and the key to success or failure lies in the Tianshan Mountains.

As long as they can successfully rush out of the Tianshan Mountains, they can throw off their pursuers and completely hide their whereabouts, sneak into the Western Turkic territory, and then return to Tang soil.

The sound of killing behind him shook the sky, and from time to time, Liu Ya would chase after him, brushing his ears and temples.But no one was in the mood to look back, they all ran towards Tianshan without stopping.

Except Xiao Yushu.

Xiao Yushu looked back three times in total.

The first time chasing soldiers could only hear shouts, but by the third time, the pioneer army wielding scimitars could be seen screaming and rushing forward.

Although the Tiance Mansion is also an elite cavalry force, they broke out of the city with the horses temporarily taken from the Tubo people, and they are far less familiar with the terrain of the western region than the Tubo people.

If this continues, it will be a matter of time before he is caught up. Even if he can rush into Tianshan Mountain, he may not be able to get out.

The pass into the mountain can already be seen in front of my eyes. The left and right mountain walls are soaring into the clouds and rocky, and the road in the middle is narrow, only allowing one person and one rider to pass through.

Sure enough, it's a good place for one man to guard against ten thousand men!

Xiao Yushu is a lazy person, and he has never been a general for a day, and he has never studied any military strategy.

Only on the day before departure, he "accidentally" glanced at the mark circled by Shen Mo on the map.

This is a path running through the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, which is extremely dangerous.

He could guess why the endless silence of the Tianshan Mountains chose this pass as the place to enter the mountain.

Mo Mo probably didn't intend to go back with them, this guy wanted to guard the pass alone, blocking the way for the pursuers.He planned to keep silent and not say anything to anyone. He must have been afraid that they would not be able to agree if it was too early, so he wanted to wait until the arrow was on the string and had to fire, press them, and force them to submit.

Don't look at Lieutenant General Shen's usual humble and forbearing appearance, but he really doesn't leave any room for retreat when he starts to be ruthless, which catches people off guard.

But if Mo Mo doesn't leave, then the young master will definitely not leave either.

Their newly rebuilt Anxi Tiance Battalion only had four people including the young master, so losing two of them at once would be too much of a loss, even if they were incompetent as the chief general, it would still be a pain in the ass.

What's more, if Shen Mo died here, Xiaofeng must be sad again... The child has lost his master and senior sister, what if he lost his senior brother now?

Xiao Yushu felt that he suddenly understood why the military commander had chosen him, a scum with no special skills, to be the chief general of the Anxi Camp.

Because he has nothing to worry about, and he deserves to die, he can die at any time.

He, Xiao Yushu, as the most unreliable general in Tiance Mansion since its founding, the only meaning of existence is to force those who are more valuable than him to live, to live at this time.

So how could he keep silent about such a handsome thing.

At the first moment of rushing into the mountain pass, Xiao Yushu opened his mouth before Shen Mo could speak.

"You go, I'm dead!"

"What kind of hero are you—"

Shen Mo's eyes were shocked, and he wanted to refute, but Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows and yelled.

"I am the chief general, do you want to defy the general?"

It was the first time in General Xiao's life that he, as a chief strategist, issued a military order to his subordinates.

He immediately guarded the pass with his spear horizontally, facing the chasing soldiers not far away alone, and never looked back at his brothers in the same robe.

He just yelled at them one last time: "Let's go!"

With a roar of a tiger, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and the stones on both sides of the mountain walls were shattered and fell down, blocking the narrow and long mountain road in the blink of an eye.

Xia Houfeng looked at the back that had been covered by rocks, and urged Shen Mo in a low voice: "Brother, let's go!"

Mo Mo was speechless, so he had no choice but to turn the horse's head and gallop towards the north of the mountain.

Along the way, they broke through the blockade of the Huihe defenders twice.

Just as he was about to rush out of the mountains, Xia Houfeng, who had been leading the way, suddenly reined in the horse's reins.

"Brother, let's go."

He looked silently, there seemed to be a little smile in his eyes, but he turned around resolutely.

"Xiaofeng, you—" Mo Mo finally couldn't help reaching out and grabbing the arm of the younger brother.

So silly...can't go back!Even if the marksmanship is as good as Xiaofeng, there are tens of thousands of tigers and wolves on the way back, how much life can there be? !

But Xiaofeng calmly pushed his hand away.
