after rebirth

It is night, the night is dark, the bonfire is burning, and the wood makes a deathly crackling sound, crisp and short, releasing a flash of light, which disappears in the brilliant flame in an instant.The Pingye paddock is close to the vast Naqu Qilian grassland. On the edge of the paddock, several people took turns drinking soju around a small fire. cold.

"The hunting is over, and we brothers can rest, so we don't need to spend time here." One of the men said in a rough voice. The crackling sound was louder than the speaking voice.

"Wife and child are hot on the kang, who wouldn't want to. Oh, I have to come here once a year, it's really... Oh!" Another man agreed.

Among the people in the circle, there was one person sitting one person away from the fire, with his legs crossed, his head bowed, and he said nothing.Although this man has a higher position, he is different from the group of men who have been guarding the paddock for many years. He is new here and does not fit in well with many people. with.

A group of men chatted and laughed, and the difficult nights passed like this. The flames of the bonfire gradually dimmed due to the reduction of wood, and the voices of their companions gradually faded away. At the time when they most wanted to sleep, not many people still had energy. say.The man with a rough voice yawned and urged the young man beside him to get the dry firewood, but there was no response after pushing several times. He yawned and turned around with his mouth wide open, his eyes suddenly widened, and the head of the person beside him disappeared at some point. I wanted to scream, I wanted to run away, but I couldn't. As soon as my neck hurt, I saw my body getting farther and farther away from me, and then I didn't know anything.

The night was getting deeper, and the cold wind blew far, far away with the smell of blood, and the remaining sparks could not illuminate anything.Wait, there seems to be something in the dark night, it is getting closer, many green light spots are moving, they smell the bloody smell, they are not satisfied with eating the corpse, and there is a wheezing sound in the throat.Viscous saliva flowed from the wide-open mouth, the green eyes shone with excitement, the muscles trembled with excitement, and the shiny fur looked extraordinarily dark under the faint light of the stars, as if life was gradually passing away... The fragrance of blood came from everywhere, and they became extremely excited after being stimulated, spreading their four strong legs and running forward crazily.

near...

closer...

Hongzao, who was sleeping outside the main tent, raised his head vigilantly, stared at the darkness with his faint eyes for a while, then let out an "owwow" in his mouth, stood up and went to the inside of the main tent.On the couch, Zhao Hengxu hugged Du Jinrong, fell asleep with his big head resting on Du Jinrong's shoulder, and the red dates would stare at him every time he saw it. No wonder the master felt his arms were sore every day when he got up.On the inside, two children were sleeping. Zhao Ningyu was lying on his back with his limbs wide open, making a little whirring, and Zhao Ningzhang was lying on his side naturally, with a small bulge.

Hong Zao stepped forward a few steps, stretched out his right front paw and pulled it a few times, Zhao Hengxu opened his eyes vigilantly, let go of Du Jinrong cautiously, then sat up, frowned and looked straight at Hong Zao, his eyes didn't look like he was in a deep sleep .

Hongzao gritted his teeth and moved his head to the outside, signaling something.

"If you want to pee, go out by yourself." Zhao Hengxu lifted the quilt and sat up, took one side of the robe and draped it over his body.

At this moment, Du Jinrong also woke up, half supported her body and asked softly, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

"Oh, I'm going out for a glass of water, do you want Jinrong?" Zhao Hengxu raised his foot to touch Hongzao's soft stomach, letting it go out, Hongzao's bright eyes gave Zhao Hengxu a humane look, it didn't want to Go pee.

Du Jinrong covered her mouth and yawned, her loose hair fell on her white shoulders.Zhao Hengxu likes to sleep while holding Du Jinrong's shoulders. The underwear that he wore close to his body before going to bed has now slipped off, revealing his fair shoulders.A dim lamp was lit in the corner of the tent, and the dim light gave Du Jinrong a fluffy edge, making the charm that Du Jinrong inadvertently radiated dim and attractive.Especially seeing the delicate collarbone looming through the drooping hair, in Zhao Hengxu's eyes, is simply the deadliest temptation.

"I'm not thirsty. It's quite cold outside. Your Majesty should go to bed early after drinking." Du Jinrong rubbed his forehead, because he didn't sleep until he woke up naturally, his eyes were sore and uncomfortable.

Zhao Hengxu coughed unnaturally, "Ahem, go to sleep, I'll come as soon as I go."

Jujube yelled impatiently, "Wow--" Go out, something is approaching.Unfortunately, no one can understand what it is saying.

"What's wrong with the jujube?" Du Jinrong leaned forward and put his hands on the edge, and the jujube stuck out his pink tongue and licked it twice, the tongue with burrs scratched his fingers and itched, "don't make a fuss about the jujube."

"Aww." The master is in danger.

Du Jinrong patted Hongzao's big head, scratched its stamina and chin, "Xiao Zhang and Xiaoyu are sleeping, please don't make noise with Hongzao!"

Zhao Hengxu even grabbed Hongzao's hind paw and pulled it back, "Go out, if you want to pee, I'll take you out."

Hongzao turned his head and made a "gurgling" sound from his throat, kicked the dragged leg impatiently, and let go...

At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside the tent, "Your Majesty, the guards in front are reporting that a large number of wolves are approaching the camp, and there are estimated to be more than 100 wolves."

Zhao Hengxu stood up abruptly, and put down his hind legs in mid-air. Hongzao staggered, almost lying on the ground with his limbs sprawled as a carpet, shaking his head irritably. For a leopard, the blood in the air The smell is getting stronger and stronger.

Zhao Hengxu immediately put on his clothes, walked outside, and halfway turned around and said to Du Jinrong, "Look at the two children, I'll go out."

"Together, ask Liang Weiting to bring more people to take care of the two children and Xiao Jing." Du Jinrong woke up completely when he heard the wolves attacking, picked up the clothes on one side and began to put them on, and when he walked to Zhao Hengxu's side, he was fully dressed , the hair full of blue hair is simply tied up, which is very different from the meticulous dress during the day, and it looks very casual and natural.

Zhao Hengxu looked at Du Jinrong, then the corners of his mouth turned up, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded, "Okay."

Different from the calm inside the main tent, the outside is already in chaos. Not only women are timid, but also a large number of men are standing with their legs crossed. Everyone is disheveled and standing in the wind, at a loss for what to do. For a while, the camp was completely silent. , everyone was at a loss as to what to do.Suddenly a man with blood all over his head and face rushed over, his left hand was gone, and the ragged sleeves from the severed arm fluttered in the wind, a piece of flesh and blood the size of a copper coin disappeared on his cheek, revealing the teeth inside. The whole person seemed to have walked out of the Shura Field, extremely terrifying.The man rushed over, then fell limply on the ground, Liang Weiting grabbed his good right hand.

"Little Four." Liang Weiting called hastily.

The man called Xiao Si was still very young, he looked about [-] years old, with blood on his face, he said to Liang Weiting with difficulty: "My lord, wolf, cough cough, it's getting close, the wolf is crazy, crazy It's..." Accompanied by a violent cough, Xiaosi passed out.

"Little Four, Little Four."

When Zhao Hengxu and Du Jinrong came out of the camp, they saw such a scene. They were horrified. They were wolves and crazy wolves, but there was no expression on their faces, and they were still calm and majestic. The rest of the people waited to go back and stay in the tent. They were not allowed to go out, and those who came out to wander around had ten sticks. All the imperial physicians were ready, and someone came to take Xiaosi down for treatment. Liang Weiting arranged manpower, leaving enough people to guard the safety of the camp, and the rest Let's hunt wolves together, and arrange the relevant dispatches by yourself. Zhao Yi and Wu Shan finally lead people to guard the main tent, and no one is allowed to approach, and those who approach without reason will stick ten sticks."

Instead of agreeing in unison like usual, many people screamed when they saw Xiao Si covered in blood, knocking their teeth in the cold wind, trembling uncontrollably, a few people hugging each other or a few slaves guarding Looking at a master, the noble ladies who are usually aloof and domineering, and the princes of the aristocratic families looked very embarrassed at this time, and the faint smell of urine wafted from the cold night air.Hearing His Majesty's order, the frightened and frozen people didn't move much. Many people looked at the person who could make decisions for themselves in a daze, and more people looked at His Majesty.

But there are also some people who are not afraid, but are eager to try, go out to salute, promise loudly, and then drag their family members into the tent, then make up their minds and set off, gradually disappearing in front, vaguely heard the howling of wolves in the distance, fighting The sound got louder and louder.

Marquis Nan'an is very tall, standing in the crowd, one can see it at a glance, because the husband and wife are taking care of their son, even if they hurried out to see what happened, they are not in such a mess as others.The ancestors of Nan'an Hou were also born in the army, and he was also a general in Dongdaying. He is usually not eye-catching, and his literary talent and military virtues are very mediocre. Perhaps the most annoying thing is how much Nan'an Hou and his wife dote on their son.At this time, Nan'anhou and his wife looked at each other, and Nan'anhou came out to salute, "I am willing to kill the wolf." Mrs. Nan'anhou followed behind her husband and saluted respectfully.

"Okay, I will reward all wolf hunters tonight. The one who kills the most wolves will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold, and he will be called a warrior of Daqi. I will personally give him the medal of a warrior." The action will become a good story for future generations. Zhao Hengxu bestowed ten titles of Great Qi Warriors in his life, and each of these ten people became famous generals who will be talked about by future generations and will last for thousands of years.In the hundreds of years of Daqi's history, all those who have won the title of Daqi Warrior are capable people and good generals, and all those who practice martial arts and have revenge all take this honor as their lifelong wish.

I won't go into details here. After Zhao Hengxu arranged everything, Du Jinrong also settled Zhao Hengze, Xiao Jing and the two children. Zhao Hengze was eager to play in person. He also liked the title of Daqi Warrior.But Du Jinrong disagreed. Although Zhao Hengze's martial arts were good, they basically didn't do much harm to animals such as roe deer and sika deer. But this time the wolves were different, and something was wrong. Zhao Hengze couldn't use his not so good martial arts. go on an adventure.

"Xiao Ze, stay here and take care of your three nephews. This is what you should do most." Du Jinrong pressed Zhao Hengze's shoulder and said seriously, looking straight into Zhao Hengze's eyes.

Zhao Hengze was a little upset when he was rejected, but what Du Jinrong said was not unreasonable. It would be a burden for others to go to the battlefield with his skills, and there would be chaos if there were no high-status people in the main account, so he nodded, " I understand, Brother Huang and Brother Du, you come back after hunting more wolves, and I will take good care of Xiaojing and the three of them."

"Okay." Du Jinrong patted Zhao Hengze's shoulder twice, expressing his relief.
