Bright moon out of Tianshan

Gao Huai leaned down slowly, and lightly put a sticker on Xiao Jian's face: "Xiao Jian, do you still hate me?"

Xiao Jian said: "No." His answer was too fast, too crisp and decisive, making people suspicious.Gao Huai looked into his eyes intently, and said firmly: "You have, I know, especially here in Luzhou. But you have never told me that you hate me. Xiao Jian, I would rather you treat me like before. Same, if you are dissatisfied, make a noise, but you don't want to watch you get farther and farther away from me."

Xiao Jian closed his eyes again exhaustedly: "I have already forgotten the past, what are you still obsessed with? You should go back earlier, it will be too dangerous to wait until dawn."

Gao Huai said: "It's not yet four o'clock, it's early, you are urging me to leave every time. Don't push me away, let me hug you." Wrapping him in a brocade quilt and hugging him, Xiao Jian struggled slightly For a moment, she leaned against his arms and stopped moving.The room was quiet and silent, and outside the room there was the sound of wind passing through the treetops, and the slight footsteps of soldiers patrolling.Gao Huai lifted Xiao Jian's head and pressed it on his shoulder, feeling that his forehead was still hot, his hair was itchy and he was touching the roots of his ears, but he felt extremely sad and filled with emotion.When did his infatuated love for him turn out to be a thing of the past?It's been called for so long, but there is no turning back.

Xiao Jian leaned against him in a daze, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "How is Beiyan? I heard that the Eldest Prince's condition doesn't seem to be very good either?"

Gao Huai said: "That's right, Brother Dahuang had a smooth sailing at the beginning, but when he arrived near Youzhou, he was hit by two ambushes in a row, losing a lot of troops and stagnating. So I suspect that Wei Mingzhen did it on purpose. For this reason. His military strength and national strength are far from those of Eastern Qi, so he deliberately lured the enemy to go deep, resulting in a very long food and grass supply front, taking up a lot of troops, and just started to set up an ambush to meet the enemy. This person should not be underestimated."

Xiao Jian smiled and said: "He is the emperor, and he is not for nothing. I heard that although Beiyan is small, he manages it in an orderly manner. Unlike this Zhao country, except for being rich, everything else is a mess. But Wei Mingzhen It's not good to send troops to Luoyang to interfere."

Gao Huai said: "Why is it bad? If it weren't for me being incompatible with the big emperor, and relying on my father, I wouldn't do anything to me. If I change someone, dare to put people in like that? Maybe he didn't expect us to With such courage, he can't show the slightest bit of high moral integrity to take care of the overall situation."

Xiao Jian hummed lightly, and said: "I was thinking, I have a very strange idea, we can't attack Zhao Guo for a long time, and we can also rely on other people's strength."

Gao Huai said: "Who? Wei Mingzhen? Or my elder brother?"

Xiao Jian said: "It's all right. You go back and think about it carefully. It's best to discuss it with someone. General Yang and General Nie are both very good. Don't talk to the military supervisor. Wei Mingzhen was sent to the city by the eldest prince. I guess life will be difficult, but since you said he is a smart person, maybe you can cooperate with him. And the eldest prince, he wholeheartedly wants to win Taiyuan, he is the one who placed Bailirong and Xiumei here. Last time Xiumei took the opportunity to assassinate you, I think it was the eldest prince's idea."

Gao Huai said: "Your eldest brother is still over there. When I go back, let the second hall master summon him and ask about the situation." He looked at the sky outside, he couldn't do it if he didn't leave, so he tilted his head on Xiao Jian's lips. Jiao kissed lightly, but suddenly saw the faint wound on his lips, and was stunned for an instant as if he had been hit hard.

He was stunned for a moment, then stretched out a trembling finger, stroked Xiao Jian's lips lightly, and said in a low voice, "Does it still hurt?"

Xiao Jian said: "It doesn't hurt, I will be careful in the future." Gao Huai was silent and buried his face on his shoulder, Xiao Jian felt his tears streaming down his neck, so he stretched out his hand and gently pushed him After a while, he said: "What are you doing, I'm sleepy, you can go, no matter what happens in the future, you can't come again."

Gao Huai said: "You are so stubborn, you refuse to go back with me alive or dead, you are still angry with me." He paused, gritted his teeth and said: "Xiao Jian, just wait, even if I can't take Zhao Guo down in the future , wandering in the rivers and lakes, wandering around the world, Zhao Yuancai... but I must kill him!"

On the second day, Xiao Jian got better, but he still lay still on the bed. He planned to lie down for a few more days, so Xiao Xuefei reported to him every day the situation outside the battle: Dong Qi's soldiers and horses had skilled craftsmen, In the dark, all the institutions installed by Zhao Guo were completely destroyed.

Then the emperor of Zhao State became angry, and chased him out with his soldiers and horses, and fought with Dong Qi. He installed all kinds of tripping ropes here, and of course his own people had to mark when they passed by, so be careful.

Then Dong Qi persevered, and when the defense loosened in the second half of the night, a small group of people over there, led by A Jin, carefully bypassed the mechanism and launched a surprise attack.

Then Emperor Zhao became angry again...

Xiao Xuefei told him vividly, Xiao Jian leaned on the pillow and laughed, and said, "How long are you going to keep going? See how cold it is, if there is heavy snow, we will stay here."

After half a month of frenzied tossing outside, here Xiao Jian laughs and laughs with Xiao Xuefei every day in the room, not only his complexion has improved a lot, but his body seems to have more flesh.The two were working happily together when suddenly the door opened and Zhao Yuancai came in with a gloomy face and a gust of cold wind.

Xiao Jian hurriedly shrank into a ball under the quilt and muttered, "It's so cold."

Zhao Yuancai said: "Are you cold? Xiaoxiao, you are so heartless! You have been sick for more than half a month and you can't tell. You don't even ask what crimes you suffered outside! Hee hee ha ha, sir, I heard it from outside the room, you are pretending! Get up for me, and go out with me to let the horses go!"

Xiao Jian said pitifully: "Your Majesty, I really haven't recovered yet."

Zhao Yuancai didn't care, came over and lifted the quilt, picked him up, and said: "Linglong, bring his clothes!" Xiao Xuefei hurriedly agreed, and went to get Xiao Jian's coat, Xiao Jian had to let the two of them Put on the clothes for yourself, and said with a low eyebrow: "Your Majesty, on the one hand, the villain is indeed ill, and on the other hand, you always suspect that the villain and Dong Qi are not inseparable, and there is something not embarrassing. So the two armies fought , it’s better for the villain to stay on the sidelines, so the victory or defeat has nothing to do with the villain.”

Zhao Yuancai sneered and said: "It has nothing to do with you, tsk! Don't even think about it, as long as it has something to do with you, it has something to do with you! After stalemate with them for so long, I am already very impatient, and the generals are also impatient. Today I want to Launch a full-scale attack! I'm going to kill Gao Huai on the spot, and you can watch for me!"

Xiao Jian tremblingly said: "I don't want to watch it, I... don't want to watch it."

Zhao Yuancai said: "No, I have to see it!" It made him stagger out of the room.

The guarding soldiers of Zhao State are already ready to go. Xiemei led the soldiers and horses that once belonged to Xiao Jian, and the rows of cavalry trained by the Jianyun Ranch in the back have now become light cavalry, with battle flags and distinctive armor. , one by one majestic and heroic, waiting for them respectfully.No matter what the fight is for, in the eyes of those who love war, this kind of scene is beautiful and inspiring.Zhao Yuancai saw it and smiled triumphantly.Xiao Jian lifted his spirits, put on the bronze mask, followed him, and went out of the city to meet the enemy.

Everyone rushed to the front of the formation of the two armies, far to the south of Luyi Mountain, the soldiers and horses of Dongqi were waiting in formation, separated by an open space, scattered with some low bushes.Zhao Yuancai rode his horse up to a high ground, and Qi Jia followed with a group of guards and Xiao Jianxiumei.Zhao Yuancai took the whip, gave two slashes in the air, pointed to the empty tunnel and said, "Xiaoxiao, the ambush you set up is right there, blocking the enemy's soldiers and horses from getting through. But they really have the perseverance to dismantle and destroy it." Seven or eight times, hehehe. It was set up just the day before yesterday, and yesterday their team who led the team to dismantle the mechanism brought people over to fiddle with it, and it was destroyed again. Hmph! Our Zhao army is strong and strong, but we don’t use these heretical things. I can still win them! I will kill the enemy myself this time, and have a good time! You play your flute and let the cavalry charge forward!"

Xiao Jian said: "Abiding by the order." He took out the flute, put it to his lips and blew it lightly, hearing the familiar sound of the flute flowing out like a spring, the horses of the light cavalry began to stir, and then they lined up and rushed out in unison. .Zhao Yuancai yelled wildly, and surrounded by Qi Jia and his bodyguards, rolled down like a dark cloud. There were many generals and ministers around him, but no one dared to stop him to persuade him, so he had to let him go.

Xiumei saw that the horse was going to follow, Xiao Jian was startled, suddenly stopped playing, and threw out a set of ropes with his backhand, pulling back the horse's head that had caught Xiumei. Xiumei turned back and asked in a daze: "Brother, what are you doing?"

Xiao Jian narrowed his eyes, pulled him towards him with force, and said in a low voice: "Don't go, stay with me, be obedient." Then he blew the flute.Seeing Zhao Guo's soldiers and horses roaring away, the sound of the flute became cheerful and joyful.Xiumei looked at him suspiciously, and then looked at the soldiers and horses on the ground, Zhao soldiers rushed over, and Dong Qi's soldiers and horses came up to meet him.When they reached the ambush place, the situation changed suddenly. All the bridle ropes, horse traps, and animal traps placed everywhere were suddenly activated, and the situation suddenly became chaotic.

Zhao Yuancai was startled for a moment, and suddenly understood that Dong Qi came over to harass a circle according to the usual practice yesterday, but it was just a cover-up, all the organs were not dismantled, only the signs were changed.When he realized that he had fallen into the ambush he had set up, it was too late to back out. Seeing the cavalry rushing forward under the command of Xiao Jian's flute, there was a series of miserable cries, causing countless casualties.

Taking advantage of the turmoil, Dong Qi's soldiers and horses, led by generals from all walks of life, swarmed forward, intending to add to the icing on the cake for Zhao's soldiers and horses.
