Born short-lived

On a clear night, the moon is always extraordinarily bright, and the moonlight is as clear as if washed by water. The sound of the sea tide is mixed with the wind, repeating regularly in the silent harbor.

There was a white crystal chip in front of Dong Sheng's left eye, and he hit it straight like a stake on the observation tower of the command headquarters with his hands behind his back. He had been stuck here for nearly an hour without saying a word, and his face was so stern. Like a bluestone slab, there is an indelible shadow under the brow bone with strong lines.

Yinfeng stood behind him cautiously waiting for his instructions, not even daring to fart, for fear that a fire at the city gate would harm the fish in the pond.

That's right, their Prince Beizhao went out to sea with the old man in Longyan's fury, dragging a crippled arm.

This person doesn't know whether he is relying on his relationship with Dong Sheng or he is really born with a fierce heart and a leopard courage. From before to now, as long as he has made up his mind, there is almost no room for maneuver. That attitude may seem lukewarm, but in fact, he has tried his best to make it impossible for you to refuse.

At times like this, he seemed out of tune with everyone, as if no one could hold him back.

Yin Feng looked at Dong Sheng's silent back, as if the darkness of the whole night had sunk on this thin back, gloomy and sharp.

The sea surface was terribly calm, and Dong Sheng hardly blinked his eyes, staring straight at the sea surface in the extreme distance, and the fine silver light swayed in his dark eyes.

Counting the time, Zhou Zirong should have almost left the border defense line by now.

However, at the same time, the Beizhao Prince's Mansion was full of chaos. Pan Shuning was so anxious that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. He was sweating profusely and ordered the servants to search for things in the yard. Every one of them became a spinning top. Pan Shuning whipped around with the whip.

——The blood-eyed eagle named "Ah Chime" disappeared.

Although Pan Shuning didn't know that her son had quietly touched the enemy's rear and died, she was always told that Zhou Zirong was "busy at war"—not to mention that it was given by the emperor when he was the prince, and Right now, when his son is going to fight, the domesticated eagle suddenly disappears by itself, which is not a good omen.

It's fine if it's chicken, duck, pig, or cow. The key point is that the blood-eyed eagle is a "one-eyed master" and extremely psychic, so it always makes people feel that the fate of this animal has something to do with Zhou Zirong.

Pan Shuning sat down on the stone steps with a pale face, and howled with a mournful face: "What kind of evil is this?"

It was unlucky enough for the servant who was busy next to him to tremble, but it seemed a little more unlucky for her to howl like mourning.

The old slave couldn't stand it any longer, so he quickly poured a cup of tea and passed it to her to calm down: "Old lady, don't worry, this old slave will take someone out to look for it."

When Pan Shuning heard this, she stopped drinking her tea, and shook her hands at the old house slave: "Then why are you still in a daze? Hurry up! Oh... my son... why is mother so stupid... even Even an eagle can't stand it..."

Dong Sheng, who was far away in the command headquarters, of course didn't know that the Southern Xinjiang blood-eyed eagle he had sent to Zhou Zirong had "freed itself", and now all his attention was on the white crystal lens in front of him.

The gray gull's transparent eyeballs reflected the moonlight in the sea, and it quietly passed through the thin clouds and light fog in the sky, silently looking down at the three small sea ships on the sea.

Zhou Zirong on the boat looked up at the gray gull hovering silently in the sky, and he could feel that pair of familiar eyes were watching him quietly from somewhere. When he looked up at the gray gull, he almost felt I am in that person's eyes.

It's amazing, as long as he thinks this way, his heart will be very peaceful.

There is almost nothing on the sea on all sides. Only by staring hard at the front can we vaguely see a blue-grey outline at the intersection of the sea and the night.

The top of Chi Yun's head was so bald that it was almost able to reflect light, and the few remaining strands of white hair were being blown up and down by the sea breeze. The old man cleared his hoarse voice to the wind, and said, "My lord, get ready, it's almost here."

Zhou Zirong gave a soft "hmm", almost habitually wanting to press his hand on the handle of the knife, but he "thought" this way for a long time, and when he looked down, the bloodless arm was still motionless. He didn't feel the sea breeze blowing on the pale skin of his hands.

It seems to have been completely out of control.

Zhou Zirong smiled wryly, the situation was even worse than he expected, and even if he brought his knife now, it was just a decoration, just for comfort.

Of the three ships brought this time, most of the people were on two of them, and the other was painted black, with the pattern of Panyang nine-headed bird painted on the ship's wall, and only one soldier at the helm was on it. .

The outline of the isolated island in the distance became clearer and clearer.

Panyang is not a big place, and the people of Panyang didn’t want Da Ling to stockpile their armaments on the mainland, so they simply built Huomuliao on an unknown isolated island next to Panyang. It was Chi Yun who chose it at the beginning. The place is regarded as an important place for military aircraft, even in the Panyang court, few people know about it.

So what Dong Sheng was most worried about before was that Chi Yun was not that kind.

The past life pulled Zhou Zirong aside, took off the white crystal lens in front of him, and said to him in a low voice: "The gray gull has visited, and the island is very strictly guarded, I am afraid it will not be so easy."

There are two gray gulls, one above them is responsible for "reporting safety" to Dongsheng, and the other is responsible for investigating the enemy's situation.While talking, Wang Sheng deliberately glanced at Chi Yun not far behind Zhou Zirong, and then looked at him solemnly, meaning: I think there is something wrong with that old man.

Zhou Zirong followed his gaze and looked back, only smiled, and didn't say anything.

But under his seemingly calm appearance, he quietly clenched his left fist tightly, and a thin layer of sweat was already breaking out in his palm.

This trip, Jiazi and Past Life came together, according to their Majesty's intention - once that old boy Chi Yun had any crooked thoughts, he would be done.

But that was a last resort, and Chi Yun also expected this, so he insisted on bringing Zhou Zirong. Being forced to die with them, he is sure that he can bring Zhou Zirong to the gate of hell.

This is on the sea, and there are no signs of decline in all directions. If something happens, Zhou Zirong's life may not be saved even by the past life and Jiazi.

"It's almost time," Chi Yun said suddenly, then turned his head and smiled at Zhou Zirong, "Your Majesty can send troops now."

Zhou Zirong took a deep look at him, didn't say a word, but nodded slowly towards the past life.

After getting his opinion in the reincarnation, he lightly raised his hand and tapped a few times on the white crystal lens in front of him.

The gray gull above his head immediately started spinning around in place.

Dong Sheng frowned, and said decisively: "Send troops!"

Yinfeng was about to doze off, but he was so frightened by his thunderous sound that he almost jumped up, and quickly answered "obedience", and ran down the lookout tower without looking back.

Dong Sheng's hand gripping the railing gradually tightened, silently staring at the coastal defense line.

During the time of a cup of tea, the silent Great Wall in the dark is like a sleeping dragon suddenly awakened, the horn is like a deep and low hum, echoing vigorously on the coastal land, the towering and majestic Great Wall whimpers and slowly breaks through the thick sea water, The white waves rose from the bottom of the sea, and the dark smoke rolled up into the clear night sky.

Groups of warships sailed out of the customs, and sailed to the sea in silver armor made of moonlight.

The Panyang Daling Navy garrison, which was resting at first, suddenly had horns soaring into the sky. Starting from the observation tower, the noise quickly started to burn like wildfire. Sleepy eyes rushed to assemble—none of them would have thought that Hua Xu Donghai, who was battered with holes, would take the initiative to send troops.

What's going on here?Too long?

The Daling people mobilized their troops everywhere, planning to let the Huaxu people suffer enough this time, and they might take advantage of the situation to attack Yanhaiguan in one fell swoop.

"General, the Daling people must dispatch all available troops." A deputy general of Panyang rushed to An Gong Shouyi panting, "What should we do? If he makes such a transfer, our rear will be empty. gone."

Logically speaking, the Huaxu people should not have the extra energy to outflank their rear. After all, Huaxu's troops are insufficient. If they allocate enough troops for a sneak attack, it will be difficult for Yanguan to defend.

An Gong Shouyi asked: "Did the Huaxu people have any reinforcements during this time?"

The lieutenant thought about it carefully: "No way... Where are the reinforcements coming from? The people in southern Xinjiang can't help."

After An Gong Shouyi heard it, he still felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it out: "Is there any news about the inside line of Hua Xu?"

The lieutenant shook his head.

At this juncture, if there is no news, it is very likely that Hua Xu was killed. Moreover, during the preparation period of Hua Xu, the frontier was completely locked. was beaten down mercilessly.

He had an ominous premonition, and told him he couldn't let Daling's barbarians come here, so he pressed the lieutenant general's sight and pulled him aside, and said in a low voice, "You can't let them transfer people from the mainland and arrange a team." The fleet is on guard, let me know immediately if there is any situation."

"I understand." The deputy general was about to leave after speaking, but was stopped by An Gong again.

An Gong Shouyi stared at him and paused for a while, then instructed worriedly: "Arrange people to go to Huomuliao and tell them to be careful."

"Huomuliao?" The lieutenant general was a little puzzled, "Isn't that a forbidden place? No one below the lieutenant knows that this place exists..."

An Gong is a little hairy: "If you let me go!"

The lieutenant quickly shut up and ran away.

Half an hour later, a large number of naval ships sailed out from the station, heading towards Huaxu East Sea without looking back.

Looking at Huomuliao in the distance, Chi Yun guessed that everyone had almost left, so he waved to the young man beside him, and said in Panyang's language, "Let him go."

The young man nodded and signaled to the ship disguised as a Panyang ship.

The person who drove the boat was the person brought by Chi Yun, a young man from Panyang. After receiving the order, he turned the rudder, and then pulled a few hemp ropes to slowly raise the flag embroidered with the nine-headed bird pattern. Sailing to the bay of burning eyes.

Zhou Zirong silently watched the ship going away, his face was covered with frost, and there was no expression on his face. The ship was like a black ghost, running towards the rugged island without looking back. Going away, it formed a continuous and lifeless black shadow with the gloomy island in the distance. He still remembered that the young man at the helm just looked back at them for the last time, and then never turned his head again.

Zhou Zirong looked at Chi Yun with some puzzlement.

What is this all for?

The centurion in charge of patrolling at the wharf of Huomuliao Bay saw a solitary ship heading in this direction from a distance, and Panyang's nine-headed bird flag fluttered and fluttered under the moonlight.

Why come to the ship at this time?

The centurion couldn't help thinking suspiciously.

The little soldier next to him said: Just now, the news from the superior said that he was worried, and he wanted to send someone over, maybe it was this.

The centurion nodded dubiously: Then... okay.

But he always felt that this direction was not right.

The ship gradually entered the dock, and the huge hull was getting closer and closer, casting a large shadow on the dock.

And at this moment, there was also a small dark ship heading towards them in another direction—this was the one assigned to defend from the batch that was transferred out before.

The helmsman on the ship saw another ship parked at the pier from a distance, and faintly felt that something was wrong.

The centurion on the pier looked up at the ship. There was no movement on the tall ship. The huge nine-headed bird pattern on the ship's wall was right in front of him, grinning at him like a gloomy monster.

The helmsman on the ship took a deep look at the large black and low houses behind the pier where the armaments were stored, and then slowly closed his eyes.

The real helmsman on the Panyang sea ship finally realized that something was wrong, and shouted "enemy attack!".

A sky-swapping monkey exploded into the sky, but at the same time, the sea ship moored at the dock instantly exploded into a huge fireball.
