Seven Queens

, a huge bird with ten necks and nine heads.

The golden sunlight shines on the creek, reflecting more intense golden light, illuminating the ancient trees beside the creek. Down the stream, there is a banyan tree two miles away from Guhuo Bird. The tree is ten feet long and has a crown. The green is about to drip, and the breeze makes the rustling sound of the branches and leaves. Under the tree that has not seen the sun all year round, there are countless brown branches like a thick beard.

A human-faced bird stands on a thick branch. The blue feathers on the human-faced bird's head are like wearing a certain turban for a human-like face. A pair of eyes are rolling in the eye sockets. The feathers seemed to be covered with a feather coat, and a pair of black claws were harder than steel.

The wet ground was covered with slippery and soft mud and rotten trees mixed with white bones. An eight-foot-long hooked snake with two forks like two hooks crawled slowly, following the hooked snake The footsteps made a rustling sound, and the trees crisscrossed and broke wherever they passed.

In just an hour, the sun will set on the hillside, and now it is not suitable to enter the forest. Ji Huazhen has ordered camping outside the forest, and green tents have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

The silver moon hangs high, and the stars twinkle like broken gold. The soldiers are burying pots and cooking outside the camp, and the smoke is everywhere for a while. It is possible to assassinate the coach through numerous barracks.

The inside of the Chinese army's large tent is extremely simple, separated by a screen. Inside is Ji Huazhen's bed and a small dressing table. Download here.

The moonlight was cold outside the tent, candles as thick as a baby's arm were lit inside the tent, Ning Feng commanded the personal maid to open the tent with a table full of food and enter, Ji Huazhen and Yue Mingxi stood side by side, standing next to the table for borrowing By candlelight, examine rough topographic maps drawn on scrolls.

The topographic map of Jiuli Mountain is rough, just use charcoal to roughly outline the rivers in the forest and the places where the strange beasts gather. It takes about half a day to pass through the forest and reach the Jiuli Mountains. Birds are rampant, poisonous insects and miasma are everywhere, and it is impossible to get effective information from the topographic map.

The dishes and bowls on the case table were neatly arranged, and after serving Ji Huazhen and Yue Mingxi to wash their hands, the maids blessed Ji Huazhen and exited the tent. Ji Huazhen had already secretly ordered Ningfeng to use the A food table.

Ji Huazhen and Yue Mingxi were sitting opposite each other, and the distance was only a short distance away. Although there were storage jade pendants to carry food during the march, it was mostly flour, dried meat, naan, rice grains and other foods that were easy to store to satisfy hunger. The commander-in-chief took care of everything and ate like ordinary soldiers. On the table was a plate of boiled beef with a gleaming dagger inserted horizontally, a pot of white-faced steamed buns that were slightly hard in the mouth, and a pot of Wild vegetable soup.

Ji Huazhen naturally picked up the gleaming dagger, cut off the beef piece by piece, put them on the plate, and pushed it to Yue Mingxi, apologetically in his voice: "Xi'er should have been rich and well-clothed since she was a child, but now she is here with me I feel so guilty for eating rough tea and light food."

Hearing this, Yue Mingxi smiled, and looked at Ji Huazhen with gentle eyes: "If I can really do my best for His Highness, it will be a worthwhile trip for me, besides, I promised to be honest with you." , do your best to help, so why should your Highness be polite?"

Feeling her increasingly important position in Xi'er's heart, Ji Huazhen was overjoyed, and the smile on her beautiful face became more and more radiant: "Xi'er is so good, it makes me want to give him my body."

There was a joke in the words, which were the most sincere words, but they were just teasing in Yue Mingxi's ears. Yue Mingxi smiled, and her voice was as touching as ice and jade: "Your Highness was born with grace and beauty. As the saying goes, a man who wants to propose marriage to His Highness must have crossed the threshold of Zhennan Mansion."

Ji Huazhen glared at Yue Mingxi, she is really a heartless girl, I have never been half as kind to others as you are, but her voice is soft and sweet: "Weak water is three thousand, I will only take her a ladle in every lifetime." Promise from now on Ji Huazhen spoke in a serious and natural tone, Yue Mingxi raised her eyebrows, her black eyes shining like jewels were full of smiles: "Your Highness has a sweetheart?"

Ji Huazhen raised her head and looked at Yue Mingxi, she was the only one in her obsidian-like deep and cold eyes, Ji Huazhen nodded: "On the tip of my heart, since I was a child, she has been the only one."

Yue Mingxi smiled all over her face: "Childhood sweethearts are nothing like this. When Your Highness gets married next day, I will definitely prepare a generous gift and ask for a glass of wedding wine." Ji Huazhen also smiled: "A generous gift is not necessary. Wedding wine, Xi'er must I can drink it."

The two of them got along as cordially and harmoniously as friends, and the dinner ended amidst the blissful chatter and laughter. After the maid cleaned up the case, Ji Huazhen summoned the left and right generals, Long Xiao and Jiang Hu, who were known as dragon and tiger god generals, and their entourage. Ji Moyi came to Ning You, the leader of the Jiuli Mountain Range.

The military tent was lifted, and the generals on the left and right walked side by side. Due to the difference in status, the commander Ning You was one step behind the two of them. There was unwillingness in his eyes. They were all masters of the blue rank. It was obvious that he was extremely respectful and submissive to Ji Huazhen.

Facing Ji Huazhen, the three of them knelt down in unison, and said in a subdued tone, "My subordinate greets Your Highness!" Ji Huazhen sat behind the desk, with a touch of domineering gestures: "Get up!" Yue Mingxi stood Beside Ji Huazhen, he cupped his hands and saluted, "Your Highness has something important to discuss, so I will take my leave first."

Ji Huazhen's eyes were full of tenderness, and she told Yue Mingxi, "The Jiuli barbarians must know that the Qingchuan army came to exterminate the clan. Xi'er should not stay too far away from the central army tent." Yue Mingxi felt warm in her heart. Flowing, with a soft smile: "I see."

Seeing Yue Mingxi's figure covered by the hanging military tent, Ji Huazhen turned around, and his obsidian-like deep and cold eyes scanned the three generals who bowed their heads, as if closing their eyes and listening. Hua Zhen nodded in satisfaction, coughed lightly and said, "Tomorrow Maoshi will bury the pot for cooking, and Chenshi will enter the forest, Commander Ning."

Hearing Ji Huazhen's roll call, Ning You hurriedly took a step forward, cupped his hands and saluted, "Your Highness." Ji Huazhen's eyes were as cold as ever: "Can Commander Ning describe the situation in the forest in detail?" Ning You Nodding respectfully, he said: "There are lush trees in the forest. Although there are many exotic beasts, they are not enough. The subordinates are worried that the Jiuli people will set up an ambush in the forest. After entering the forest, Your Highness must be very careful."

Ning You was eloquent and eloquent. After Ji Huazhen made a preliminary decision on tomorrow's strategy, the candles in the military tent had been changed twice, and the important matters for tomorrow were basically discussed. Yue Mingxi's eyes were full of sternness, and he couldn't wait to see her. A smile flashed in his black eyes. Looking at the three generals standing upright and respectful, he returned to the coldness of the past: "This attack on Jiuli Mountain range, I have three generals."

The three generals clasped their hands together and said, "This subordinate swears to be loyal to Your Highness to the death!" Ji Huazhen nodded, and tapped his finger on the table: "Night defense must not be relaxed, the three generals should step down." The generals bowed their hands again and retreated After three steps, he turned and left.

Ji Huazhen stood up and quickly walked out of the military tent. Outside the tent, a gust of wind blew away Ji Huazhen's black hair. Seeing Ji Huazhen going out, the personal soldiers immediately followed Ji Huazhen around, so that they could see the moon every now and then. Mingxi, also because the Chinese military tent is the safest place, the military tent where Yue Mingxi lives is closely adjacent to the Chinese military tent.

Except for the noble and incomparable His Royal Highness Qingchuan and Yue Mingxi who treats His Highness Qingchuan differently, the rest of the soldiers are all dozens of people living in a military tent. Yue Mingxi originally intended to live in a tent with Dongxue, who knows As soon as he brought it up, Ji Huazhen changed the topic, and finally decided to let Dongxue and Ningfeng live in another military tent.

Ji Huazhen opened the military tent, the candles in the military tent were about to burn out, the tent was empty, a smile froze on his lips, he turned to look at Kunya who was guarding outside the military tent, his tone was cold: "You Where did the owner go?"

Kunya cupped his hands and saluted, pointing to a small hill surrounded by military tents: "His Royal Highness Qingchuan, the lord has nothing to do, so I should have gone to that small hill." Following the direction of Kunya's finger, Not far from the main camp of the Chinese army, Ji Huazhen finally let go of his hanging heart, and strode towards the small hill with big strides.

Jiuli Mountains

The night is cool and windy, Yue Mingxi is lying on the grass, with a piece of grass in his lips, there is a touch of wind in the ice and snow posture, outside the forest where few people have set foot, the cold moon like a silver hook in the night sky seems to be special So close, you can pick them with your hands.

Familiar footsteps sounded in his ears. Yue Mingxi picked the grass roots and was about to get up. Ji Huazhen said with a smile, "Don't be too polite, Xi'er." Ji Huazhen squatted down and lay beside Yue Mingxi. The unique cold fragrance came to the nostrils, and my heart felt numb. I naturally put my left hand on Yue Mingxi's open right palm, and clasped my fingers together: "Xi'er is easy for me to find."

Ji Huazhen's words were full of air, Yue Mingxi didn't dislike Ji Huazhen's intimate handshake, she just regarded it as an intimacy between girls, Yue Mingxi didn't have the confidence to be loved by everyone, besides, Ji Huazhen had already Having personally admitted her childhood sweetheart, it is even more impossible for Yue Mingxi to guess that the person Ji Huazhen loves is her.

Seeing Yue Mingxi looking at the night sky in a daze, Ji Huazhen frowned slightly, and his words were already displeased: "Xi'er is thinking about her sweetheart?" Yue Mingxi didn't notice the change in Ji Huazhen, and shook her head and said: " No, it was a girl who grew up with me, I don’t know if she betrayed me, and I don’t know if she is still alive today, but I just recall seeing the same night sky with her back then.”

Seeing that Yue Mingxi didn't miss the woman named Luo Li, Ji Huazhen felt happy
