Born short-lived

Dong Sheng sent Yun Xiao away, and went straight to Zhuo Yiming's room with the Sword of Rebirth.

It was quite hot at night in this season, and knowing that there were enemy troops watching from outside the pass, naturally no one could sleep peacefully and soundly.So even in the middle of the night, Zhuo Yiming's window paper was still lit.

Dong Sheng is used to being an uncle, and he has never had the habit of knocking on the door when he enters the room of the younger generation. In the past, he was scolded unforgivingly by his mouth. He was not upright and his lower beam was crooked. The moment he pushed the door open, the disgusted face of the past life suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. The hand that pushed the door curled up, and knocked lightly on the door instead.

A childish voice came from inside, and it could be heard that the owner of the voice deliberately lowered his voice in order to appear mature and stable, and asked, "Who is it?"

Dong Sheng said, "Lonely."

Immediately there was a "clang" sound of something being knocked down inside, followed by a rush of footsteps, and the door was pulled open from the inside in a blink of an eye.

Zhuo Yiming's eyes widened, and he said in amazement: "Your Highness?!... Yiming pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Dong Sheng raised his eyebrows, habitually narrowed his good-looking eyes, and asked, "So unexpected?"

Before Zhuo Yiming could answer, he suddenly turned his body away from Zhuo Yiming in a very "disrespectful" way, stretched his neck and poked inside, with a bit of teasing in his tone: "Whatever, what are you doing?" What is something unseen?"

Then, while Zhuo Yiming was still in a daze, he raised his leg and stepped in without saying a word.

Zhuo Yiming blushed, turned around and said urgently: "Your Highness...Your Highness!"

The furnishings in the house are very simple, except for the basic necessities of life, there is almost nothing superfluous, except for a not-so-bright white crystal psychic lamp on the table.

Dong Sheng was curious for a moment, and went straight to the table, only to see that there were pens and ink on the table, and a very familiar deployment plan - it was also densely covered with cinnabar annotations.

He couldn't be more familiar with this cinnabar handwriting - it was the handwriting of past lives.

Dong Sheng: "This is..."

Zhuo Yiming quickly explained: "The last time His Highness asked the villain to make a deployment plan, the past master pointed out a few areas for improvement for the villain. The villain dare not neglect, so I should study and analyze it carefully."

The annotations on the deployment diagram crowded the entire drawing to the brim, not only writing what was wrong, but also thoroughly analyzing the improvement method.

Dong Sheng was speechless for a while, although he knew that the past life was always hard-spoken and soft-hearted, but he never thought that the fellow would be relentless all day long, but he was willing to work so hard for Zhuo Yiming in private.

There was an unspeakable sourness in Dong Sheng's heart, and the hand holding the Sword of Rebirth couldn't help but tighten a bit.He lowered his eyes and looked at the sword in his hand calmly. After a while, he nodded and said: "The past life taught you, you have to study hard."

Zhuo Yiming's black eyes were shining brightly, and he said with burning eyes: "Yiming, remember."

Dong Sheng glanced back at him, in the young man's eyes, he seemed to see a familiar enthusiasm, seeing this enthusiasm, Dong Sheng couldn't say how happy he was, but he was also slightly relieved.

"You take the Sword of Rebirth, you must protect him, and don't go out of the city," Dong Sheng put the Sword of Rebirth on the table gently, and took out a talisman from his arms, "If the gate of Zijingguan is broken, you will take it with you." If you go to the south, someone will escort you to the East China Sea to find King Beizhao. If he is not there, take this talisman to find a man named Yuanjin in a building called Cangzhu Pavilion on the East China Sea, and then tell him, You have to bring the Sword of Rebirth to meet the Jiang Clan."

Zhuo Yiming didn't realize it for a while. He didn't know where Dong Sheng was singing, but he felt that this sentence made him very uncomfortable, and he retorted almost instinctively: "But Your Highness, why..."

Dong Sheng said seriously: "I was injured in the past life, can't you just repay his teacher's kindness?"

These words silenced Zhuo Yiming.

Dong Sheng didn't have much to say, and he didn't intend to stay. Turning around and walking out, he said: "Remember, you will be the general in the future, but before you learn to give orders, you must first learn to obey orders." So, next time, don't ask Gu why."

He asked Zhuo Yiming to take him away, not just for the sake of rebirth.

Dong Sheng himself is the coach, so he can't leave, and this time he can't figure out how large the reinforcements will be if the Sha'an people really have reinforcements, so he can't guarantee the outcome of this battle—— But at least the Zhuo family cannot be left behind.

Zhuo Yiming was always confused about Dong Sheng's temper. Seeing his back resolutely leaving, Zhuo Yiming hesitated for a long time before murmuring: "Yiming...obey."

After a sleepless night, at the dawn of the next day, the string that was so tense was finally broken, and the last moment of peace suddenly broke down. This morning, accompanied by the crowing of cocks, from the valley north of Pianguan There was a deafening bombing sound.

"Report—"

Dong Sheng saw a light cavalry soldier with Huaxu's Xuantian Rising Sun Flag tied to his arm, riding his horse quickly towards the city gate from the smoky gray mist in the morning.

The man came to the bottom of the city tower, his face was still covered with thick black ash, he opened his voice and shouted: "Report to Your Highness, the enemy army was found on the mountain road five miles northwest of Yanmen Pass! Your Highness, please show me!"

Dong Sheng glanced at the mountain forest in the northwest in the distance, the thick shadows where the mountains overlapped were still vaguely in the sky, and said: "Don't be in a hurry to fight, take them into the valley."

Ruoshui beside him watched the messenger turn away and said in a low voice, "Don't worry about Jiazi, don't you need to send more troops?"

Women are rarely seen in the barracks, and Dong Sheng has never summoned Ruoshui before, and suddenly there is such a woman standing there with a little red in the green bushes, so that the soldiers passing by can't help but linger a little longer. on her.

Dong Sheng sighed, for some reason, maybe he felt that a dead horse was treated as a living horse doctor, but he seemed much calmer than the previous month, and said very calmly: "Don't be in a hurry, let someone go to the east to explore first. "

"East?" Ruoshui frowned a pair of willow leaf-like eyebrows, "You mean..."

Dong Sheng said solemnly: "Luo Che has suffered so much in the valley to the west, how could he send a large team over for the last fight this time... It's just a bluff."

Ruoshui followed Dong Sheng's gaze to the east, was slightly taken aback, then quickly pulled his gaze back, nodded and said, "Ruoshui understands, I'll help you find out."

Dong Sheng said, "Thank you."

It happened to be a cloudy day this day, and soon after dawn, the sky was covered with thick clouds, and it was completely white, so the few gray pigeons hovering over the border between Huaxu and Sha'an did not seem to be going away. unexpected.

By the harbor of a small island thousands of miles away, Yuan Li was wearing a local embroidered robe, with a white crystal lens in front of his eyes, and several people in common clothes came to the big ships that brought them to the island.

One of the men in a blue-gray coarse cloth found the old man guarding the boat by the port, whispered something to him in the local dialect, then stuffed something into the old man's hand, and then walked back quickly.

"Master Yuan, it's alright."

Yuan Li nodded.

Last night, I saw the signal sent by Zhou Zirong through the gray pigeon who stayed in the East China Sea. If he didn't act again, the master in the East China Sea would probably get impatient.
