Born of Worry

When Li Ye saw the letter, his mind went blank.

He swallowed the half-chewed dumplings with difficulty, and forced a smile from the corner of his mouth: "Xiao, Xiaoxian, it's a big Chinese New Year, this kind of joke can't be taken."

Li Xian looked at him silently.

He read the letter back and forth several times, and confirmed that Lin Ruxuan's handwriting was correct. He was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "How is this possible...Xiao Xian, what is going on?!"

"It's clearly written in the letter."

Li Xian couldn't bear to see him like this, so he went back to the bedroom alone, turned the screen, but smelled a faint fragrance, couldn't help being slightly startled, and saw the pot of epiphyllum on the ground that was about to bloom.

This epiphyllum...how could it bloom in this season?

He was stunned for a while, then slowly approached, his eyes fell on the blooming white petals, his expression was a little dazed.

Mo asked... is this your... birthday present to me this year...

Even if you are no longer by my side, you still have to think about my birthday...

Mo asked...

He endured the moisture in his eyes, stretched out his hand to lightly touch the petals of Epiphyllum, but suddenly retracted, clenched into a fist, and closed his eyes tightly.

Mo Wen, you wait for me, when I put this war to rest... I will come to you.

cold.quiet.

This is probably the only one in Jiuyuan Cold Pool.

The water temperature is estimated to have dropped below the freezing point, but for some reason it refuses to freeze.The black snake has long since hibernated—according to his own statement, he didn't dare to hibernate for 800 years, because he didn't want to be choked to death by water when he fell asleep.Mo Wen couldn't bear it, so he stirred the pool water, gathered the air bubbles, and turned into a big bubble.Although the water in this pool would not freeze, the place where the water came into contact with the air had condensed little by little, and the water bubbles turned into ice bubbles, so Mo Wen stuffed the snake into it.

Without that snake... it really does feel a little lonely.

Xu Shi was used to living in the warm palace, but it was difficult for him to adapt to the cold bottom for a while. He could only curl up his body, but he still couldn't stop the bone-piercing chill, especially the black iron nailing his tailbone. Unceremoniously lured the cold into his bone marrow.

He finally understood why once he entered the Nine Abyss Cold Pool, there was almost no possibility of escape.There is almost no aura in this place, but it is full of dead energy, and the environment is especially harsh.Without food, he had to use his cultivation to resist hunger; in winter, he had to use his cultivation to resist the cold; plus those piranha fish that appeared from time to time, he had to use his cultivation to resist their attacks.

The cultivation base has been depleted, but it cannot be replenished.

His consciousness is not very clear, he is very sleepy, but he can't sleep. He doesn't want to be frozen into an ice sculpture at all.

Li Xian... are you okay?

I gave you the epiphyllum... Maybe it's open...

Weiyang must be very cold too... remember to pack more clothes...

He was in a daze, he seemed to be asleep and he didn't seem to be, but he suddenly woke up after thinking of something, moved his body, and the biting cold swept over him, dispelling his drowsiness.He stretched out his claws and gently scratched the ice bubble—it was frozen solid—and could not help but scratch the word "Mo Chou" on the ice.

"Brother Mo Wen, can you give me a name?"

"Why do you want me to pick it up for you?"

"Because we don't remember our name."

Mo Wen stared at him, "Since you are so ugly, why not call yourself Mo Chou."

"...Brother Mo asked, is it not good for you to do this?"

"What's wrong?"

"Since we all took your surname, why don't you give us a famous name? This name is so ugly, it's embarrassing to your Mo family, isn't it?"

"Really? I don't think it's unpleasant."

Black Snake seemed to lose his temper, flicked his tail, and sighed, "Forget it, let it be ugly, at least it's easy to remember."

Mo Chou...

Man as his name suggests.

Mo Wen smiled lightly, as if he was afraid that his own body temperature would melt the ice, so he gently pushed it away and wrapped it around with water plants.

I don't know when I can leave here...

Of course, he would not stay for 500 years, not even for five years, five months, or five days.

What family rules, rules of heaven, fate... He just wanted to violate the rules of the family, the rules of heaven, and change his fate.

So what if he has been cut off for a thousand years, as long as he leaves here, he has his own way to practice and come back.

It's just Li Xian...

Human life is but a flick of a finger.

Dayin calendar 240, the second year of Shenlong, the first day of the first month.

Li Xian called back all the officials who were still in the capital.

"Your Majesty! Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Stop talking!" Li Xian waved his sleeves and got off the dragon chair, "I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore!"

"His Majesty!"

Mo Wen, I won't be indecisive anymore, this time, I want to fight in person.

When I'm done with this war, I'll come to you.

"During the time I'm away, all affairs in the capital will be handled by the Shang Shuling with full authority, and it will be easy to do things. Please cooperate with the six ministers! Do your best!"

"Sir, obey the order!"

"General Ji." Li Xian walked in front of Ji Ying, "I will take all the Tenglin Army and Guangming Army away, and I will have to work hard on your Chiying Army. You continue to garrison. If there is any change, I will promptly Inform you, please be on standby at any time."

Ji Ying lowered her head slightly and clasped her fists, but there was an unknown sadness in her eyes, "I obey the order."

When Li Xian came out of the hall, he immediately saw Li Ye hovering at the door.Li Ye came up to meet him: "Xiao Xian, do you really... want to conscript yourself?"

"Well. You don't need to persuade me."

"I... didn't want to persuade you, I mean... you take me with you!"

Li Xian was startled: "What?"

"You take me with you, I'm going to find Lin Ruxuan!"

"Third brother, have you thought about it? That's a battlefield, not the backyard."

Li Ye's tone was extremely firm: "So what about the battlefield? You can go, why can't I go? Besides, the battle report didn't say that Lin Ruxuan was dead. Even if there was a glimmer of life, I couldn't leave him alone! If you want to see people, you want to die. See the corpse!"

Li Xian was silent.

"Xiao Xian," he almost begged, "just take me with you, and I promise not to cause you any trouble!"

Li Xian sighed softly, thought for a moment and said: "Alright then, but... you must listen to me."

"No problem. When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow. Today I will let the infantry and food go first, and you go back to pack your bags, and gather at the east gate of the city tomorrow morning."

"it is good!"

Lin Ruxuan... I hope you don't let my third brother down.

This year, the emperor's family was not doing well, the court ministers were not doing well, and the people of Daizhou and the soldiers who fought in Daizhou were doing even worse.

If you stick to Daizhou, you must never let Daizhou fall into the hands of the Hu people again.

The Guangming Army and Lin Jiajun led by Yang Qingping are really defending Daizhou with their lives.

From the 28th of the twelfth lunar month to the arrival of reinforcements on the 15th of the first lunar month, the [-]-day period was really longer than [-] years for Daizhou.

The thirteenth day of the first lunar month, night.

Forty miles outside Daizhou City, the army rested temporarily.

"I know you are very tired," Li Xian paced slowly among the resting soldiers, "I am also very tired, but we don't have time to rest. Tahan must have known that we sent troops, and would step up to attack Daizhou. Now we The only thing we can do is to be quick, save Daizhou before they capture Daizhou, and catch them off guard!"

Fast break, this is currently the only countermeasure Li Xian can come up with.

Two quarters ago.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to do this?"

"That's the only way. Everyone is too tired after traveling for several days. If I don't rush to the front, how can I boost morale? Without morale, how can I win the battle? And what I want is absolute victory. Even a little bit now Mistakes, Daizhou can't afford it."

The man in black is hidden in the dark, unable to see clearly.

"It's just... I have to work hard for you, Qin Gong."

"Your Majesty is serious. No matter what Your Majesty wants to do, Qin Gong will definitely do everything in his power!"

Li Xian got on his horse and patted Feichen's back—he didn't choose any war horse, but chose Feichen who had no combat experience. I'm afraid he couldn't explain the reason for this, but no matter what How, he believed in Feichen.

Feichen has already grown into a tall horse, so handsome that anyone who sees him will unconsciously give a sigh of admiration.

"drive!"

Li Xian rode in the lead, and in his hand was the three-foot green spear presented by his elder brother.Following closely behind him were [-] fine cavalry, galloping towards Daizhou City, the ground trembled, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

He brought a total of [-] troops this time, and the [-] infantry hadn't arrived yet, but there was no time to wait any longer.After ten days of rapid travel, both men and horses are exhausted. After this battle, I am afraid that they will reach their limit.

This battle had already awakened the defenders of Daizhou, almost thinking that Tahan had come to attack the city at night.Yang Qingping didn't even have time to put on his clothes, climbed up the city wall, and asked, "Who is attacking?!"

"The ones coming from the east should not be enemy attacks, but reinforcements!"

"Reinforcement?" Yang Qingping looked eastward, and in the darkness, he could only see countless torches approaching rapidly, feeling uneasy for a moment.Not long after, someone shouted from far away: "Open the city gate——"

"It's reinforcements! General, it's reinforcements!"

Yang Qingping vaguely saw the "Li" army flag, and frowned, "It's His Majesty's own conquest?! Open the city gate!"

Li Xian led his army through the city, went out from the west gate, and directly attacked Tahan's barracks at the bottom of the city. Although Tahan's soldiers also heard the movement, they did not expect that the reinforcements would fight directly without stopping. confusion.

The Daizhou garrison also came out of the city. When they saw that the emperor was on his own, no matter how tired they were during the day, their spirits rose instantly, and their emotions rose a hundred times. Under the leadership of Yang Qingping, they took up their weapons and went out of the city to fight.

Flesh and blood flew.

Yanmen Pass.

"Khan! Khan is not good! The Daizhou battle report came, and Yin's reinforcements arrived, and they are attacking our barracks at night!"

Khan turned pale with shock: "What?!"

"What's going on?" A young man wearing a coat opened the curtain and entered, "Why are you so panicked?"

The young general was very anxious, "Military division! Think of a way! Our Daizhou military camp is being attacked by Yin's reinforcements, and we are about to be overwhelmed!"

"Night attack?" The military commander frowned, "According to the time, the reinforcements should arrive, but they are marching in such a hurry, they come to fight without rest? Which army is it?"

"It seems...it seems to be Emperor Yin's personal conquest!"

When the military master heard the word "personal conquest", he couldn't help being taken aback, "Personal conquest? You mean Emperor Yin's personal conquest? Could it be that he is very good at martial arts and dare to personally conscript?"

"He doesn't understand martial arts at all, but... I heard that he has an expert by his side, and we brothers can't get close to him at all!"

"A master..."

"What's the use of talking about it now!" Khan interrupted them and said angrily, "Send troops to support quickly!"

"Wait!" The military adviser quickly stopped, "No way! Since they dared to attack at night, they must be absolutely sure. Now we estimate that the general situation is over, and it will be too late to support them, which will only increase casualties."

"Then what?! Could it be that we don't want this generation state again?!"

"Unfortunately, let them retreat!"

When Khan heard his words, he was furious immediately, his eyes widened, and he shouted: "Thank you, military advisor! Are you my Tahan military advisor?!"

"...What did Khan say?"

"Before we won Daizhou, I said that we would go directly to the south to raid, but you refused, and then reinforcements came, and you let us abandon Daizhou! What do we get in exchange for abandoning Daizhou? But in exchange for them, what kind of bullshit general Now it’s good, Daizhou can’t take it anymore! After months of hard work, so many soldiers were lost, and only one Yanmen pass?!”

The military adviser was also a little impatient, and said angrily: "Khan! As I said, at that time we could not gather a large number of troops, let alone whether we could capture Jinyang in Xinzhou, even if we captured it, we might not be able to defend it." Hold! Since you can’t defend, why waste your troops to attack! Besides, that general is an important minister of Dayin, and if he dies, it will definitely benefit us without any harm! Dayin’s national power is too strong, so it’s not that good We fought, if not for the help of General Cao, we would not be able to conquer Yanmen Pass now! We must take a long-term view, and fighting is definitely not a matter of a day and a half!"

"You say I'm short-sighted?!"

"Khan! You know I don't mean that! Well, now is not the time to talk about this," he waved his hand, and called the young general who came to deliver the message, "Go and tell them to retreat! Don't love to fight!"

"Yes!"

Khan was still unrelenting, and snorted coldly: "Mr. Xie, should you give me an explanation?!"

"I admit that I miscalculated this time," Army Master Xie sighed, "I didn't expect that they would send troops at night. One day later, they would almost be able to capture Daizhou City, but now... oh." He took a few steps and said to himself, "How many reinforcements did they come? We have a hundred thousand soldiers approaching the city, but they can't resist their blow?"

However, this time he guessed completely wrong. Li Xian really only brought 6 troops, and even including the Daizhou garrison, it would not exceed [-]. If they were willing to support, they might not be able to beat the big Yin.

"Personal conquest... personal conquest, how dare he personally conscript..." For some reason, he gritted his teeth, "Since you're here, then... don't go back, Li Xian."
