The first favorite of rebirth

After saying this, the soldiers immediately drew out their long swords, and guarded Pei Jiqing, who was not good at martial arts, and the guide behind him. The strange bird made a loud noise and rushed towards the people with gray-black wings, almost covering the sky. Retreat, being forced straight to the edge of the cliff.It wasn't until the body of the strange bird fell to the ground that the rest of the birds gave up attacking and flew away along the valley.

Some soldiers were pecked, and they covered their wounds cursingly. Pei Jiqing took out some hemostatic bandages from the horse's back and pulled them off, and said to Lin He: "Give me some medicine first, and we will come along the flock of birds." direction to find."

Lin He immediately pulled out the dagger from the shaft of his boot, cut off the bandage in Pei Jiqing's hand, and helped him wrap up the soldier's wound. He asked, "Why do you follow the bird? Isn't that going to be the bird's way?"

"Since these birds eat meat, the place they came from must not be very desolate. Let's go in that direction and try." Pei Jiqing was too lazy to joke with him. He looked at the dagger in Lin He's hand and said curiously: "Your dagger The dagger, why does Biyeluhechu look so much simpler? Don’t you have a dagger as a token?”

"I also have the same dagger. General Xia suspected me before, so I gave it to Jueyun. This is an ordinary one." Lin He put away the dagger and said, "We Khitan people like to keep such a dagger with us. Weapons as keepsakes, I remember that in the Central Plains, there is also a saying about the Emperor’s Sword, saying that it is the Emperor’s Saber, which is equivalent to the Jade Seal of the Kingdom.”

Emperor Sword?

Pei Jiqing was taken aback for a moment, and he immediately pulled Lin He over and said, "You Liao Kingdom have also heard about the Tianzijian."

"We have been at war with you for many years, so we know something about you." Lin He asked doubtfully, "What's the matter, what's so strange?"

Pei Jiqing suddenly realized that Jue Yun's disappearance was definitely not murdered in a deserted place, but was taken away by someone.The Liao Kingdom has always had the habit of taking weapons as tokens, but no matter how exquisite their weapons are, they are not as good as the Son of Heaven Sword in Jue Yun's hand.

That night pearl has been handed down for thousands of years, but it has no wear and impurities, and it is as bright as a bright moon at night... Jue Yun rides a horse to fight, and uses a spear as a weapon like everyone else in the army, but when he encounters an enemy, he usually uses both a spear and a sword , Presumably, he met people who were a little careful in this valley, and found that the sword in Jueyun's hand was not ordinary, so he detained them.

Seeing that Pei Jiqing was silent, Lin He quickly pulled his arm and said, "What's wrong with you? But what did you think of?"

"Yes." Pei Jiqing nodded, and said: "You guys like to use expensive weapons as tokens, and Jue Yun's sword has a night pearl on it. I guess I must have met a very prestigious general of the Liao Kingdom here. Yun wields his sword, so he thinks he is a person of great status, so he detains Jue Yun."

Lin He had seen Jue Yun dancing his sword, and nodded thoughtfully. He took the horse and said, "Let's go."

The guide walked in front of them, and the group of people followed the direction from which the strange bird came. In a blink of an eye, they got into a deep and quiet path. Pale light.

Only then did Lin He realize that they had been walking for two hours. He didn't expect Pei Jiqing to be weak, but he kept following the guide, as if he didn't feel tired at all. He knew that Pei Jiqing was anxious, but at this moment The night was as black as ink, and he didn't know how long this road would take, so he tugged at Pei Jiqing's sleeve and said, "Let's sit down for a while."

Pei Jiqing followed and stopped, only to realize that they had been walking for a whole half a day, no matter if they didn't stop, once they stopped, their calves seemed to be filled with lead, and they couldn't move a step anymore, so Pei Jiqing nodded and signaled The soldiers didn't speak, just sat quietly and rested.

The soldier felt relieved, and sat down leaning against the stone wall. He stretched out his hand to take off his leather boots, only to find that his ankle was swollen, so he stretched out his hand and squeezed it a few times. Looking at his swollen and red ankle, he couldn't help but sighed. , biting his lower lip and looking up at the sky, neither joy nor sadness in his eyes, as if there was a pool of deep water.

When they were silent, Lin He suddenly put his face on the stone wall, he motioned Pei Jiqing to put on his shoes quickly, and then said in a low voice, "Stand up, everyone, someone is coming!"

Pei Jiqing immediately followed the soldiers and got up. At this time, the footsteps from both sides of the stone wall gradually amplified. The footsteps were fast and chaotic, but it seemed that there was only one person. Pei Jiqing carefully held the horsewhip, and slowly moved towards the stone wall Before, the footsteps stopped, and there was another rushing sound of water. Lin He, who was walking in front, stretched out his hand to signal, with a dumbfounding expression on his face, and the people behind also understood that this person should be peeing.

The sound of the water quickly disappeared, and the footsteps sounded again. Pei Jiqing waved at Lin He. Lin He rushed up, locked the man by the throat, and dragged him directly into the stone wall. Without any resistance, Lin He dragged him away obediently.

The soldier lit the torch, and the man was indeed dressed as a Liao soldier. When he saw Lin He, his expression changed drastically, and his mouth grew bigger as if seeing a ghost. Lin He quickly pulled out the dagger and wiped it on his throat. On top of that, he choked his cry for help directly in his throat.

"From the way this man behaves, he seems to know you." Pei Jiqing frowned and said, "He just wanted to call for help, which means that the big army is not far away."

Lin He nodded, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he didn't feel tired for a moment. They extinguished the torches again, and moved forward by touching the stone wall. Sure enough, after bypassing an extremely narrow stone wall, what appeared in front of them was a piece of land The flat grassland, and on the grassland, there are many white tents close together, like a huge military camp.

At this time, it suddenly started to snow, and huge snowflakes fell from the sky, covering the withered yellow grassland in an instant.

"So they're hiding here." Pei Jiqing said in a low voice, "This Black Mountain is so precipitous, there's really a lot to be said for it."

His voice became more and more serious, and the low-lying figure suddenly stood up, Lin He immediately said: "What happened!"

"Yueyue!" There was a hint of crying in Pei Jiqing's voice, as if he was trying to suppress his emotions, "That's Jueyun's horse!"

His words made the soldiers behind him stand up, and Lin He was even more overjoyed.At this moment, a horn suddenly sounded in the silent sky, and a beam of fire rose into the sky from the white camp.Then, a group of people rushed out from the southeast of the camp. They were wearing the military adjutants of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They almost came out of nowhere on the grassland and rushed directly to the main gate of the barracks.

"Look!" A flag was raised in the wind and snow, like an eagle flying into the vast sky, Lin He clenched his hands and shouted: "Khitan king's flag!"

Pei Jiqing was so shocked by this momentary change that he had nothing to say. Behind him, a soldier raised his spear and shouted: "It's General Xiao! General Xiao found them!"

Before Pei Jiqing had time to react, the soldiers behind him had mounted their horses and galloped out one after another, mingling with the bloody soldiers, Xiao Wansheng was dressed in black and held a very heavy spear in his hand, riding his horse recklessly Charge into the crowd.Just like the night battle in Dingzhou, it seemed to be a surprise attack that had been waiting overnight. Pei Jiqing suddenly couldn't react. If it was planned, why did Xiao Wansheng keep it from him and send people over and over again? Looking for Jue Yun?

Pei Jiqing violently stretched out his hand and slammed it against the stone wall, almost gnashing his teeth, his temples were burning hot—Xiao Wansheng probably wouldn't hide it from him, then this was the signal sent by Jue Yun not long ago, it was actually his own plan!

"Decisive cloud!"

Just when Pei Jiqing was angry, Lin He suddenly got up and yelled, Jue Yun's figure was a little short, his long hair was disheveled, he only held a sword of heaven in his hand, and he was even a little disheveled.Under the cover of 50 people, Jueyun stepped on Yanyue's back, tightened the reins and rushed to the battlefield.The Son of Heaven sword was suddenly unsheathed, and the Ye Mingzhu was not fading in the shadow of the fire and sword. Its light was connected into a line following Jueyun's every move, just like the aurora on the plateau sky.

During this fight, the onlookers, Pei Jiqing, almost held their breath. It was the first time he saw Jueyun killing people on the battlefield. The child who had acted like a baby in his arms was covered in blood, with long hair scattered behind his head, under the moonlight His snow-white profile was tough and sharp.

"Little Xianggong." Lin He turned his head and said with a smile, "Tell me, who is Jue Yun?"

Pei Jiqing was thinking whether to tell the truth, when a tall figure came out from the chaos, wearing a bright red cloak behind him, almost coming towards Jue Yun, Jue Yun galloped past, stretched out his hand and pulled the ground The flagpole broke out from the siege of hundreds of people, stabbed the tip of the flagpole fiercely at the man's belly, the black horse let out a scream, twitched and collapsed on the ground, Jue Yun turned the horse's head and rushed forward, piercing the man's chest with his sword, The man's eyes were shattered, and he raised his head and let out a scream.

At this moment, a group of elite soldiers came from behind the camp and tried their best to drag the man to the horse. Although Jueyun fought with them for a while, the Liao soldiers were obviously powerless to fight back, so they had to protect the general while fighting. retreat, and gradually fled to the depths of the desert.

"Yeluhetu..."

"That's Yeluhetu!" Lin He, who had been silent all this time, suddenly yelled. He reached out and patted Pei Jiqing on the shoulder and yelled, "Jeyun seriously injured the First Prince!"

Jue Yun raised the pole high with his left hand, and cut off the flagpole with his sword in his right hand. The Khitan king's flag painted with complex patterns fell in the dark night, circling back and forth like autumn leaves, and finally fell into the snow splattered with black blood.The local general had already fled, and the others were naturally in chaos. Xiao Wansheng led his troops and quickly swept across the entire camp. Lin He suddenly pulled his horse and rushed into the crowd, shouting loudly: "Yelu Hetu has escaped, everyone surrender! "

Pei Jiqing knew that the only person Lin He wanted to kill was Yeluhetu, and he didn't want to see the Liao soldiers killed, but at this time, most of the Liao army had been killed and injured, and they had no ability to resist.

Even if Pei Jiqing wanted Fu Congjin to step down, he would never use the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, let alone directly sacrifice the border cities. What about the tyrannical general?Does a prince like Lin He not care about millions of dead bodies and thousands of miles of blood?

The battlefield gradually quieted down, Xiao Wansheng stopped Jueyun, and he sent another team to chase the seriously injured Yeluhetu, but Jueyun didn't rush to go, he stopped slowly on his white horse, but there was no expression on his face. The color of joy, the long hair is covered with black and red blood scabs, and the hands are also full of blood.

Pei Jiqing also didn't care about Lin He, he rushed to Jueyun, slapped him hard, and almost cried angrily: "You set up an ambush, why didn't you tell me?! You Do you want me to die?!"

His roar came from the heart, and the blow was very hard. Jue Yun turned his head in surprise, stared at Pei Jiqing in a daze, he reached out to wipe the snowflakes off Pei Jiqing's head, slowly exposed two canine teeth, and then smiled and said : "Uncle Pei, am I dreaming?"

"No." Pei Jiqing slapped him again, "It hurts! You brat!"

"Then I have done meritorious service, have you seen it?" Jue Yun's voice was very soft, as if he had tried his best, "I hurt the eldest prince, Uncle Pei, I am going to be a great general, I know you all don't like my help Lin He, don't regret it now."

"I don't dislike you. I've said it all. I just want you to plan it out." Pei Jiqing sternly said, but with a strong nasal voice, "Don't pretend to be pitiful to me, who is Yeluhetu? Did he kill you? A lone army chasing the poor bandits, and even daring to lurk into other people's barracks, Mr. Lang, how powerful you really think you are, if something happens to you, I'll just follow you and die..."

"Don't say that!" Jue Yun hurriedly covered his mouth, "I didn't sneak up in ambush! Actually..."

"Let's go back and talk about it."

Jue Yun's voice became lower and lower, Pei Jiqing rubbed the child firmly in his arms, at this time, Xiao Wansheng had already started to count the enemy's food and grass, Pei Jiqing pushed Jue Yun's shoulder, and said softly: "Okay , we are about to retreat, go and get the horses.”

Pei Jiqing only pushed slightly, but Jueyun fell straight backwards, Pei Jiqing was startled, and quickly caught it with his hands, and the whole person fell down with Jueyun, hitting the thick snow hard .

Yanyue lowered her horse's head, and slammed Jueyun with her head, but Jueyun was still lying motionless on the icy snow.

"Jueyun...?"

Pei Jiqing's voice was trembling, and he held Jue Yun in his arms in disbelief. Only then did he notice that the child's face was covered with blood and scars, and even the soft armor on his chest was cut open by a sharp weapon. Pei Jiqing stretched out his hand to probe Jue Yun. Forehead, I wish I could slap myself directly.

Jue Yun was already in a coma, his forehead was hot, melting the huge snowflakes that kept falling.
