Haiyan

On the snowy ground, a team of 20 light cavalry shuttled back and forth on the blank space that had been crushed by countless footprints. The herald stretched out his frozen five fingers to open and close the reins in his hand, and reported loudly: "Returning to the deputy general, there is no trace of the third prince in the grassland."

"Have you searched carefully?" Nan Xiang asked.

The herald nodded and said, "When my subordinate led people to sweep the king's tent just now, there were only a bunch of old, weak, sick, disabled and slaves left. According to inquiries, the third prince has disappeared since last night."

Nan Xiang frowned and said, "Last night? Could it be that he was sent out long ago?"

The herald shook his head, "My subordinates don't know very well, but some of the herdsmen who were captured by us said that they had seen the third prince of the grassland in those refugees last night. ...."

Nan Xiang paused, then suddenly pulled out the whip in his hand and slammed it on the ground, shouting: "If you know it, go after it!"

"Lieutenant General, I'm just suspicious now, I'm not sure yet. The number of those refugees is large, and we only brought twenty Qingqi over here. If they cause riots, I'm afraid..."

Nan Xiang sternly said: "What are you afraid of! It's just a pile of unarmed trash! If the Yin family is allowed to escape alive, do you think that person from the Palace of Eternal Life will let us go back alive! Chase! Send me someone to chase after him!"

"Yes, this subordinate will do it!"

"Remember, whenever you see a child under the age of ten, regardless of gender, kill them all, and don't let anyone live!"

The herald froze for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Deputy general, kill them all, will it..."

"It's better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go. They are just some untouchables from the Northland. There is nothing to regret."

"......Yes."

As the evening approached, the sky was slightly golden, and the sun peeked out from behind the clouds. From a distance, the ground was paved with gold, and the mountain was like iron.

The bloody air slowly surged from under the tip of his nose.

Leaning on the bronze sword in his hand with difficulty, Liang Guoying walked extremely slowly step by step. When he finally stood in front of the flaming corpse, his face was already wet.

His violently trembling hands were no longer enough to express the turmoil in his heart at this moment. He hugged Jing Ning from Yin Zhuo's arms. He was as careful and cautious as holding his own heart, for fear that if he exerted his strength, she would wake her up, and then he would wake her up again. Once let her escape from his hands into the arms of that man.

"Ah Ning...20 years..."

He sat down slowly while supporting his difficult arms, and hugged her tightly, the softness and residual warmth of his body still remained, making his cold body unable to help but want to press her even tighter.

The scene that seemed distant and familiar 20 years ago gradually appeared in front of my eyes——

The deep sound of the horse-mane qin echoed far away on the snow, and the young girl who was as clear as a lotus was dancing in front of his eyes, probably because he disliked his playing the qin, the girl pouted and complained: "Three Brother, I don’t like the sound of the horsemane qin, let’s blow the xun, and I’ll dance if you blow it, look, how beautiful the snow falls today.”

He thought she really wanted to dance with him, until the new king of Hokuriku appeared on the snow field in front of them, the young Jing Ning suddenly stopped with a blushing face, and hummed a gentle song Song.

He watched Yin Zhuo walk to her side with his own eyes, smiled and took her hand lightly, walking further and further away before his eyes.

The xun around his mouth is still singing, and the person who is willing to sing along with him has already left.

Vigorous and ancient ballads overflowed from the mouth of the middle-aged general leisurely, like a harp stirring up sad thoughts in the silent hall.

At that moment, the blue hair on the general's head was instantly white, and the headband on his head was cut off at this moment, and the silver hair was blown by the wind, which was very sad.

The soldiers all bowed their heads without saying a word, Yin Ping, who had already passed out, suddenly opened his eyes slowly.

He couldn't believe that he was still alive——

However, when he looked up at this scene again, it seemed that his throat was stuck by a boulder, and he couldn't make a sound for a long time.

Yan Jidao came down from his horse in the distance and walked to him, saying, "You haven't finished your work yet."

Liang Guoying didn't seem to hear it, he was still humming the tune on his lips.

No one spoke anymore, and no one dared to look up again. Yan Jidao turned his back and looked at the grassland full of wolf smoke, wondering what he was thinking.

There was a light "cluck" sound.

Yin Ping struggled to get up from the ground relying on the strength of the Zhan-saber, but he was seriously injured. Every time he raised his leg, he couldn't hold it anymore and fell hard to the ground. None of them stepped forward to stop him, and none dared to stab him to death with a sword for the last time...

"Let go of my mother..."

With a hoarse tearing sound, blood sprayed all over the ground, and with a 'bang' sound, he finally fell down heavily after finishing his sentence.

Liang Guoying didn't bother with him, his eyes looked blankly at the land ahead, and the humming song stopped.

Suddenly a sound of horseshoes broke the silence at this time. The soldiers looked in the direction of the sound. One of them was carrying a sword on his back, with high black hair and a soft black shirt. He came slowly with his back facing the setting sun.

"It's finally here..."

Yan Jidao spoke softly, and the originally imperceptibly tense face gradually relaxed. He stepped back a few steps until the man reined in his horse and walked in front of him, saying, "I have been waiting for the general here for a long time."

The person called the general was Zhang Daochang who had been missing for a month.

Perhaps, he has a better name——

The No.1 General of Southern Chu, Zhang Zongyi.

Shaved off the long beard that he had in the past, took off his pretentious Taoist robe, his black long gown was covered with silver shiny soft leather armor, and the mahogany sword that never left his body was without the outer shell, Cheng Ying The whole body of the sword was glowing with a light blue light, even if it was not out of the sheath, it looked cold.

Completely without the cowardly look of the usual hippie smile, Zhang Zongyi's seemingly thin body was now tall and burly. He nodded at Yan Jidao and said, "I'll take my students away."

Yan Jidao said with a smile: "It's useless for the general to tell me. I originally just wanted to delay the time for the general, but I didn't expect that in the end, it didn't help me at all."

Zhang Zongyi said: "I saw General Liang trying to kill my student just now. You wanted to stop him with an arrow. I will remember your kindness."

Yan Jidao waved his hand, "No need, I just accepted Mr. Kuang's kindness."

He walked towards his horse, and after getting on the horse, he was not in a hurry to leave, he just said: "Whether you can take him away depends on the general's luck today."

Zhang Zongyi walked to Yin Ping's side under the vigilant eyes of the surrounding soldiers. The young man raised his head with difficulty, feeling that the figure in front of him was familiar yet unfamiliar.

He lifted Yin Ping lightly and threw it on his back. The latter didn't have time to think about it, and after lying on Zhang Zongyi's back, he passed out instantly.

Looking at Liang Guoying, Zhang Zongyi said: "I will take away the second prince of Beilu today. If your subordinates are sensible, I will not kill more, but I will definitely kill anyone who obstructs me!"

Liang Guoying didn't respond, but the soldiers surrounding Zhang Zongyi slashed at him with long swords.

The sound of the refrigerator connecting quickly sounded and then stopped.

Zhang Zongyi didn't even look at the corpses under his feet, he held the bloody sword, and asked expressionlessly: "Who else? Let's go together?"

The marshal did not give an order, and the soldiers were a little timid for a while, afraid to move any more.

After being still for a long time, until the last trace of warmth from the person in his arms finally disappeared, Liang Guoying gently put Jingning down.

At that moment, he seemed to have returned to his old iron blood, grasped the bronze Xia Yu sword that was left aside, and strode towards Zhang Zong in front of him.

·

On the white ground in the distance, Chang Sheng struggled desperately to run forward, but was held tightly by Xiao Wu beside him, his face was already full of tears at this moment, his whole body was trembling and he could hardly speak.

"Changsheng, you can't go, if you go, you will die too!"

Xiao Wu is single-handed and weak, so it is difficult to hold Chang Sheng, even so, he has no choice but to pinch Chang Sheng's flesh and pull him back.

"The majesty is dead, everyone is dead, Changsheng, you can't go, you still have to live!"

He didn't know where he came from, and he stretched out his fist and hit Chang Sheng on the head. The latter was knocked down to the ground, and his whole body curled up.

Biting his lips with sharp teeth, he wrapped his hands tightly around his shoulders, shaking uncontrollably.

"Changsheng..."

With tears streaming down his face, Xiao Wu softly called him.

There was cold and heavy snow on the ground, which soon soaked Chang Sheng's clothes.

Xiao Wu said: "Changsheng, I can't go back...you will die if you go back."

You will die if you go back...

Chang Sheng closed his eyes.

Although it was far away from the king's account, he seemed to be standing there.

He clearly saw his father's body full of black arrows, his mother crashed to death on the broken mast of the Goshawk flag, and he watched his elder brother being cut inch by inch by the marshal of the empire... ....

All the prairie warriors who resisted angrily fell down.

Even if the pieces of corpses were covered by a new round of snow, he seemed to be able to hear the mournful wailing in the distance.

There is nothing left, everything is over...

The surroundings were eerily quiet, and it took an unknown amount of time before they were torn apart by a burst of chaos.

Xiao Wu's originally sluggish expression suddenly became tense, he suddenly pulled Chang Sheng up from the ground, and shouted: "Quick, run!"

Chang Sheng didn't know how he got up.

Two thin and young figures were running wildly. Behind them, more than a dozen fast horses came galloping, and soon surrounded the two children.

The surroundings seemed so quiet that there were only the turbulent horseshoes and his own breathing.

"The third prince of the grassland?"

Nanxiang's slightly shrill voice sounded abruptly.

The naughty children of the past seem to be different in an instant.

Chang Sheng suppressed the great sadness in his heart, gasped heavily, his face was flushed, his chest heaved violently, and he stared at the silver armored general without fear, and said, "So what?"

Nan Xiang laughed out loud, and said, "Sure enough, it's a cub of a lion...do you know who I am?"

Chang Sheng was not frightened by the embattled enemies, but said calmly, "A general of the Western Han Dynasty, right?"

"What a smart and bold kid..."

Nanxiang fiddled with the horsewhip wantonly in his hand, sighed: "I've been looking for you for a long time, do you know what I want to do?"

Chang Sheng: "Naturally do what you want."

Nan Xiang said: "You might as well guess, if you guess right, I can give you a condition, how about it?"

"Any conditions?" Chang Sheng asked him.

Nan Xiang smiled and said, "Not really... But you can guess first, as long as you guess correctly, I will tell you what the conditions are."

Xiao Wu stood behind Chang Sheng and grabbed his shoulder nervously, not daring to speak for a while.

Chang Sheng said: "I guess this general is either here to capture me, or to execute me on the spot... I don't know if I'm right?"

"Hahaha—good! Really smart."

Nan Xiang said, moved the horse forward a few steps, then bent down and said to Chang Sheng: "You guessed it right, I came here to kill you on the spot, little prince."

Chang Sheng said: "Since I guessed it right, why don't you let me talk about my conditions... General, don't be nervous, I'm a dying person, I won't ask too much, as long as the general is willing Let him go, and I will leave him to the general's disposal."

Nan Xiang glanced at Xiao Wu thankfully from the corner of his eyes, and said disdainfully, "Just such a request? I thought you would beg me to keep your whole body or something."

Chang Sheng said: "Since the general has agreed, don't go back on your word."

The soldiers next to Nan Xiangchong winked, everyone moved out of the way, Chang Sheng hurriedly pushed Xiao Wu away, and said, "Go!"

Although Xiao Wu was timid, he pulled Chang Sheng very loyally and cried, "Chang Sheng, if we want to go, let's go together!"

Chang Sheng became anxious, and said: "Whoever wants to be with you, get out, get out, get away, I don't want to see you, get out!"

Xiao Wu wiped his nose and cried: "I won't leave, once I leave, you will die, I can't let you die, I will take you with me!"

Changsheng said: "Xiao Wu, your grandpa is still waiting for you in Mangshan. If you stay here again, how will you live without your grandpa? Don't follow me, you are a burden, you know bad things all day long, I don't want it." You follow, you get out!"

Xiao Wu almost couldn't say the sad words, but only knew that he was desperately holding on to Chang Sheng.

The two stalemate for a long time, Nan Xiang finally lost his patience, and sighed: "The relationship between the children is indeed pure... However, such simplicity, I am afraid it will be difficult to see it again in the future."

"Hurry up and send Yin's child on the road!"

The soldier couldn't bear to attack a nine-year-old child, so why not: "Lieutenant General, why don't we take them back and wait for General Liang to deal with them..."

"Did you forget the order from above?" Nanxiang said sharply.

Order - whenever you meet the Yin family alive, no matter where, kill him on the spot.

The soldier had no choice but to move forward on his horse, and gradually approached Chang Sheng standing on the snowy ground. With one hand, he drew out the long sword at his waist, slowly raised it above his head, and then dropped it violently.

Seeing the long sword slipping from above his head, Xiao Wu screamed in fright.

Chang Sheng's eyes were wide open, his mouth was slightly opened because of fear, and a pair of round black pupils reflected silver light, getting closer and closer.

A gust of strong wind came over the face, carrying a sense of coldness.

At that moment, Chang Sheng felt as if he saw the red holy light in the north of Shuo, and heard the moving singing of that soft shepherd's song.

Everything will turn into dust and follow the wind with the heavy snow in Yebei.

From then on, the Yin family will no longer have a living, and will be forever annihilated on this vast land.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly a piercing sound came from a distance, the black spear pierced the silver sword with sparks, and hit it on the snow not far away, which shows the strength of the archer , very surprising.

Everyone subconsciously looked towards the way they had come.

Li Su was wearing a black cloak, and was running fast from far to near with his sword.
