This sleeve is broken secretly

Liu Tan tremblingly hid in the woods until dawn, and Fang dragged his frozen feet back to the tent step by step.

However, to his surprise, their tent looked unexpectedly peaceful.The curtains were hanging down, it was quiet inside, and there were no onlookers outside, as if nothing had happened.

What's going on... Could it be that the prairie man didn't do anything?

Liu Tan was full of doubts, and cautiously walked to the door, gently raised a corner to poke his head in——

"Master Liu."

Liu Tan almost screamed, but was choked by his general again.But I saw that the tent was empty, so how could there be any Shen Yi and grassland people?And the only person inside was sitting on a table directly opposite him with his legs crossed, looking at him with a raised eyebrow and half a smile.

Xie Qin seemed to have been waiting for him, and when he saw him standing stiffly at the door, he sneered and changed to a more relaxed posture, which looked like he was sitting on a mountain of corpses.He was fiddling with a dagger in his hand, with a cold light shining between his slender fingers, as if he was about to cut off a piece of flesh in the next second.

Liu Tan was so frightened that his legs almost went limp, and he said weakly, "Xie, Mr. Xie, how could..."

"I should be the one who asked Mr. Liu the right thing." Xie Ling smiled lowly, "This is clearly Mr. Liu's camp, why didn't he come back last night?"

"I, I..." Liu Tan trembled, hesitating for a long time without expressing his words, "I lost my way, and I only found it now..."

"Really."

Xie Ling sneered, and slowly stood up from the table.He approached step by step, although his face was smiling, but he looked at Liu Tan as if he was looking at a dead person.Liu Tan was so frightened that he fought back and forth, turned around and tried to escape, but was grabbed by Xie Ling and dragged back like a chicken.

Liu Tan blurted out a scream, but Xie Qin covered it back with a palm.He leaned down, whispered to Liu Tan's ear very lightly and quietly, "My surname is Liu, let me ask you one last time: Why didn't you come back last night?"

He slightly moved his hand an inch, and Liu Tan stammered in horror: "I, I, I am the court order official! Even you, Xie Jin—"

Xie Jin's eyes flashed fiercely, and the snowy light in his hand flashed, Liu Tan's voice suddenly became louder—the dagger cut down against the root of his left thigh, and opened a big hole in the penis, Almost pouring cold wind into it.

"If you don't fucking tell the truth, I'll move the blade to the middle." Xie Qin chuckled in a low voice, "Breaking the root of your descendants is like crushing an ant to death, and I think it's dirty. hand……"

"I say! I, I, I say!" Liu Tan was so frightened that cold sweat dripped down his body like a waterfall, and he broke down and cried out, "I just heard two prairie people show off because they hated Shen Ting when I went out to pee last night. Ruin his innocence and then tell everyone, so that we people from the Central Plains will be slapped in the face—uh!"

The blade slashed against his right thigh again, causing him to scream.

"Don't move. My hands tend to shake when I'm excited. Don't blame me if you lose any of your parts."

Xie Ling's voice was so low that he could hardly hear it, but Xinzi, who was as cold as a poisonous snake, licked his ear.If Liu Tan had the courage to look up at Xie Qin's expression, he would definitely faint from fright.

"What's the name of both?"

"...The one who said he was coming to get him is called Ao Han! I don't know about the other one!"

"..."

"I really do not know!"

Xie Qin sneered, pinched his chin and lifted it violently, forcing him to make eye contact with her.Xie Ling swept across the face of the person in front of him who was dripping with cold sweat, trembling with puffiness, and bloodshot eyes, as if he was looking at some carrion covered with maggots, full of contempt and disgust.

"Humph."

He flicked his hand and let go of Liu Tan.Liu Tan staggered to the side and covered his throat, coughing wildly like the rest of his life.But he heard two low sneers from behind, and then the devilish person said coldly and meaningfully: "My lord fell asleep after coming back with Liangqing last night, and I never left the tent again, I slept well all night. "

Liu Tan trembled, nodded repeatedly, not daring to speak.

"It's dark at night. Find a bright place to pee in the future, so as not to dirty your shoes for nothing."

There was the sound of the curtain being lifted behind him, and Xie Qin finally left.

Liu Tan collapsed on the ground in relief, and stroked the two big holes in his trousers with trembling fingers, his face full of sweat showed an ugly expression of crying and laughing.

At this moment, he suddenly sniffed his nose as if he had discovered something, raised his head and looked around, becoming terrified again——

In this tent... why is there such a strong smell of blood?

----

When Xie Ling found Shen Bing, he was standing alone on the hill, quietly looking at the grassland with the rising sun.At this time, it is the most magnificent and vigorous moment here, the light of the morning sun is like thousands of miles of golden powder, swaying on the sky and the surrounding fields.From then on, wild beasts came out of their nests, birds contended, and all things stretched out. Even people woke up from the chaos and saw the path under their feet clearly.

The sun shines away from the original place, and the clouds give birth to the nine heavens.

This is the most indescribable moment of the day.

Xie Ling stood at the bottom of the slope, looking up at the fiery morning sun, which dyed the sleeves of his robe inch by inch, and wrapped his thin and straight back in a mass of thick gold and crimson red like a fire.Xie Qin suddenly felt a cracking pain in his chest, and he seemed to be back to last night in a trance. At that time, he took a glimpse under the miserable moonlight and saw the sleeve shirt that was worn down by blood and violence.

He closed his eyes and inhaled the long wind in his face deeply until his chest swelled and ached.When he opened his eyes again, he resolutely jumped up the hill and strode to Shen Bing's side.

"Don't worry about Liu Tan, he won't talk nonsense." Xie Ling's voice was not loud, but it was instantly shattered by the wind.

Shen Yan raised his jaw slightly, and a calm smile appeared on his lips: "He didn't see anything, so what else can he say?"

Xie Ling pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "I just don't know the name of the other prairie man, otherwise—"

"You don't have to know."

Xie Ling was startled, and turned to look at him.But she saw that Shen Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking directly at Chaoyang, the corners of his eyes were a little wet, but he still didn't look away.His straight eyebrows and eyes were completely immersed in the golden glow, and his blushed cheeks were half like red flowers, half like blood jade.

Amidst the wind and hunting, he sneered silently.

"When they saw that I was talented, they ridiculed me for being weak and unfit for the army; when they saw that I was beautiful, they insulted me for being a girl and a prodigal disposition. I was peaceful, but they said I was pretending to be noble; I was smooth, and they called me It seems that this world is not worthy of Ganoderma lucidum. Only thousands of miles of grass is good."

Shen Yan smiled lowly.

At this time, the red sun finally broke through the ground, burst out suddenly, and completely painted the ends of his hair and temples that were blown in the wind with blood.

"But I don't."

……

"I'm tired of them always looking at me in the same way, and then turning around and slandering me as the same person."

……

"What are you talking about Jingzhou Tinglan, Xie Rangzhi, I've long been tired of being that clear and delicate fairy grass that grows in the water island."

……

Xie Ling finally laughed.His brows and eyes were originally ostentatious, but the smile at this time made his expression even brighter, and his eyes were like burning fire.

"Then make Populus euphratica in the dry desert, or Venus flyweed in the deep forest." He stared at the face of the person in front of him inch by inch, and said word by word, "Those who insult you, slander you, slander you, and despise you People who love you will regret it in the end, because one day, you will defeat him, frighten him, subdue him, and control him. Since then, no one has been able to raise the word "Shen Liangqing" high but put it down gently. .”

Shen Bing laughed.He turned his head and pointed to the grassland further north, at the end of which is the desert: "So you don't have to ask the name of the grassland man. Soon the flames of our Central Plains will burn all over this grassland, and he will surely die in Ye Fire ants don't need a name."

Xie Ling laughed.

The two stood on the mound, watching the rising sun.In front of their feet, there is a slightly protruding lump of soil, on which there are still traces of new soil, as if it has just been turned over by someone.However, they are all looking into the distance, and no one is looking at the dust under their feet.

"Let it go." Amidst the red clouds, Shen Yan suddenly asked, "In your heart, how do you see me?"

This question was nonsensical, but Xie Qin was not at all confused. He smiled and said: "Tinglan Langyu, Populus euphratica, Ganoderma lucidum—"

He looked at Shen Bing, his eyes were bright and flamboyant: "——Liangqing let him."

Shen Bing was shocked all over, and couldn't look away at that moment.

The rare view of the sun, which is rare in this life, is being born in the dark pupils of the young man at this moment.

The world is in turmoil, the sun rises and the moon sets, thousands of people go, and thousands of people come.And they stared at each other, as if they had a strong bond, and they could stand side by side despite the turbulent crowd.

----

No one knew what happened that night.As usual, Shen Bing accompanied Emperor Hongwu in a low-key manner, and when he met the provocations of the prairie people, he could still calmly smile and deal with them calmly.

It was as if no one had ever brutally invaded his dreams and was rewarded with blood and pain.

Since that night, Liu Tan never dared to look directly into Shen Bing's eyes anymore. Every day, he huddled in a corner of the camp tremblingly, and no longer dared to think about gaining the limelight in front of Emperor Hongwu.Fortunately, Xie Ling never appeared in their camp after threatening him that day, otherwise Liu Tan would not have dared to come back even if he slept in the wild.

Xie Ling's performance is still as usual.He rode a horse and galloped on the pastures of the camp. The Xiujin figure in white riding clothes was almost transformed into two black and white wind power like a black and white scorpion, and he was full of vigor and recklessness to the extreme.After the banquet that day, even the prairie people will be quite jealous when they see him. That kind of vigilance and precaution is the highest courtesy they can give a Central Plains person.

However, Xie Ling didn't pay attention to the group of fierce tigers and leopards who were waiting around.He came with a bow and a horse, and galloped away with a knife behind his back. With his raised jaw and haughty eyes, it seemed that there was no one on the vast pasture worthy of his attention.

No, maybe only one person.

Shen Yu and Xie Ling belonged to different positions, and they could only be seen in front of Emperor Hongwu's imperial court.It was written by Shen Yi, who accompanied Emperor Hongwu, and Xie Ling, the heir of the capital who dismounted from his horse.One of them is dressed in official clothes with dignified demeanor; the other is dressed in riding clothes, with his bow undrawn and his sword unsheathed, and his body is still stained with the bloody smell of animals and wild animals.

They are in different places, and they will only look at each other when their bodies are wrong.

That's the peace and courage they can find in each other.

The days of Xingwei passed quickly, and the wolfish ambitions of a few tribes in the north gradually surfaced.After the banquet that day, many grassland people became more and more arrogant. As courtiers, they no longer even maintained the most basic obedience and courtesy when hunting, but began to blatantly snatch prey with the Central Plains Imperial Army. The two sides even had several disagreements. Big and small shoving and disputes.Until two days before the end of the siege, the leader of Tumozhong even took his own tribe to set off early and left without saying goodbye.

Everyone knows that after Qiuya this time, there will be real wind and rain.

Sure enough, in November, shortly after Emperor Hongwu returned to Beijing from the Mulan paddock, an urgent military report came from eight hundred miles from the north—the Zhagan tribe of the grassland tribe tore up the surrender contract, and led a thousand-man cavalry to bloodbath a town called Huixian County. town.They pitted and killed all the men, took away the women, plundered food and iron, and finally set fire to the Central Plains army flag.

Although the Zhagan tribe is not one of the largest tribes in the grassland, they are good at taming horses, and they have a good relationship with Tumo, the first tribe in the grassland. Therefore, the Zhagan's invasion this time made the court feel like a big enemy.

What's even more frightening is that these nomads, who used to grab things before leaving, did not leave this time, but settled down in Hui County.

It is self-evident what their intentions are.

Although Hui County is small, it used to be one of the important towns in Hushi. Now that Zhagan has occupied Hui County, he can connect with the grassland and attack Neijing.Facing Hui County far away was Xinping Fort, one of the important passes on the northern border. If Zhagan occupied this place again, the fertile soil of the Central Plains would be completely exposed to the menacing grassland barbarians.

After Xinpingbao, the first to bear the brunt is Yingzhou.Although there are frontier troops in Xinpingbao and guard troops stationed in Yingzhou, if Zhagan joins hands with other tribes to attack in the future, the strength of the border troops and guard troops may not be enough to resist.So Zhu Jian, the governor of Yingzhou, went to the evacuation overnight. On the one hand, he begged the imperial court to transfer the army of Yingzhou Weisuo to increase Xinpingbao.

The imperial court urgently approved the reinforcement of Yingzhou by the Monan Guard.However, what happened next left everyone dumbfounded.

As expected, Zha Ganguo united three other grassland tribes to attack Xinpingbao.However, after only three days of defending Xinping Fort, the army was defeated. Afterwards, this group of prairie warriors marched straight in, taking down three or four cities in Yingzhou one after another.

At this point, the fact that China's armaments are disarmed and its military strength is weak has been completely exposed to everyone.

The ruling and opposition parties panicked.It has been a long time since the first emperor, the country was prosperous and the people were safe, and the four directions came to court.But even so, there are still daily drills and patrols by the Guards Army and the Frontier Army, so why are they so vulnerable?

However, with the development of the situation, there is no chance for people to think about this kind of thing carefully. If they continue to waste time, maybe the whole Yingzhou will fall into the hands of grassland people.

Emperor Hongwu was furious in the court, and all the officials were shocked, but this did not help the raging war.

In the end, Father Lou, an eighty-year-old veteran, took command and went to the border to preside over the war.Before he left, he brought a very important thing - firecrackers.

Under the influence of firearms and Lou's father, the war in the north finally turned around a little. The grassland army trying to go south was pinned down on the center line of Yingzhou. However, if the Central Plains army wanted to drive them back to the grassland But it is even more difficult.

In the stalemate between the two sides, the 26th year of Hongwu finally ushered in the new year.
