At dawn, cold fog piled up on the yellow sand.The embers of the road that illuminated the road outside the camp had already extinguished, and there was no trace of the haste of last night.

"Master, the time has come." Mo Yu led the horse over and reminded Xiao Beichen in a low voice when he saw Xiao Beichen standing outside the camp looking to the west.

Xiao Beichen nodded, turned around and bid farewell to the generals and said: "It is a great fortune to have all the generals guarding the western region. After returning to the palace, I will ask for a reward for you. The cold winter is approaching, and if you need anything from the garrison, you can report it. "

The war in the western region has always been highly valued, and the rations and weapons are the first to be delivered.But these days, there is an extravagance of material resources, and the horses are well-fed, so there are no gaps.

All the generals saluted awkwardly: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness."

Xiao Beichen nodded lightly, took the stiff rope and jumped on the horse, "Talk to General Ji, I will come to see him some other day." Afterwards, Xiao Beichen glanced at the billowing dust to the west before pinching the horse with his feet. Clamping the horse's belly, "Let's go, Wan Qing."

With a neighing sound, the green horse half-raised its front hooves, only took a few steps on the spot, then lowered its head and remained silent.

"Aren't you full?" Xiao Beichen looked sideways at Mo Yu.

Mo Yu broke out in a cold sweat, and signaled the accompanying guards to block their sight.The generals also knew what was going on, and silently lowered their heads.

"Master, ride on mine first." Mo Yu shook the reins for a long time before urging the horse to move forward, so he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said helplessly.

Seeing the horse's unwillingness to move forward, Xiao Beichen dismounted with a sigh.But before he took a few steps, Wan Qing suddenly turned his horse's head to block in front of him.

Mo Yu pulled it back forcefully, and warned: "If you miss the time, you can't afford it with your life."

Unexpectedly, Wan Qing's struggle made him have to let go, Mo Yu secretly sighed: This horse has become a spirit.

Xiao Beichen saw that Wan Qing had been surrounding him, not letting others approach him, and felt a little lucky in his heart.

So, he just stayed where he was.

But not long after, there was a long and rapid cry from a distance.A dazzling white foal galloped ahead, followed by several horses with people on them anxiously surrounding it.

Xiao Beichen thumped in his heart, it was Ji Muqing's "Sleeping Wind".

Something happened to him.

The people who had been chasing the horse turned to stop Xiao Beichen who rushed out of the crowd.

"His Royal Highness, you are the body of a thousand gold, you must not go to the front line."

"General Ji is really fine."

"Go away." Xiao Beichen said coldly.Then when he saw everyone got off their horses and knelt in front, he became more and more convinced that Ji Muqing was in danger, "Mo Yu!"

Mo Yu, who pulled everyone away, watched his master gallop away quickly, and persuaded him bitterly: "Your Highness, General Ji is the most important thing, and none of us guards dare to stop him." Then he saw the soldiers kneeling on the ground Everyone was trembling all over, feeling bad, and asked sharply, "What happened?"

The soldier opened his mouth for a long while, then knocked his forehead heavily on the ground, and replied: "The west city wall collapsed, and General Ji was buried under the wall."

Mo Yu's eyes widened, "Human life is at stake, how dare you stop me!"

"After the wall fell, the army of the Chijin Kingdom was overwhelming, and we were afraid that we would lose Momoyan Pass again."

"General Ji is too late to save."

After finishing speaking, there was a dead silence all around.

Mo Yu looked at Xiao Beichen, who was deeply trapped in the morning mist, and immediately sent a signal to the sky.A spark rose slowly into the sky.

He took a deep breath and said in a stern voice: "Moyanguan can be lost, but the crown prince must not be lost."

Then he quickly ordered one of his subordinates: "You wait here for the Nanya Forbidden Army." Then he turned to another person, "I saw a dog in the camp yesterday, bring the dog here."

"Yes!"

Xiao Beichen didn't know the situation ahead before, but when he drove out of the edge and saw the thick smoke billowing in the western sky, he knew that the war was starting.

Amidst bursts of exclamation, he rode his horse across the southern part of Moyan Pass at high speed.But as soon as they arrived at the main road of the boundary, they saw that the city wall had been broken, and the two armies were fighting outside the wall, and Ji Muqing was nowhere to be seen.

He was looking around looking for someone, when suddenly a child's scream sounded from the ruins under the collapsed wall: "There is someone here!"

A group of skinny children who were only in their teens gathered in a hurry.

Xiao Beichen froze in place.

"His Royal Highness, quickly withdraw!"

Most of the soldiers of the Western Territory Garrison stepped up to strengthen the fortifications on the south side of the main road.

"The army of the Chijin Kingdom is pressing down on the border, and the western city wall cannot be defended."

The people who pulled him back quickly came from both sides, but Xiao Beichen could only see the ruins at the moment.

"His Royal Highness, General Zhao in the north is also facing the enemy. We are facing the enemy on both sides. If we continue, we will only sacrifice more people for nothing."

"His Royal Highness, for righteousness!"

A bloody hand stretched out from the ruins, and A Ye, the boy squatting at the front, exclaimed, "It's the leader, brother Mu Qing is nearby!"

The leader's face was bloody and bloody, and after he heard the words clearly, he laughed with all his strength and said, "He's dead..." Before the end of the sentence stopped, his throat was cut by a sword.

Xiao Beichen looked at the huddled children coldly, and tried his best to keep his tone gentle, "Keep looking, don't be afraid."

Duan Yan and all the soldiers under Ji Muqing's command stood guard outside the city wall.When he was able to catch his breath, he shouted: "A Ye, tell the children to hurry up."

As soon as he finished speaking, an enemy soldier who swung a knife in front of him was killed by a sword.

"His Royal Highness!"

His sound made everyone stunned.Soon, the sound of drums came from the opposite side, and the two armies separated.

Mo Yu led his men to arrive at the same time, and brought the yellow dog named Da Zhong with him.The big clock quickly searched among the ruins, and after a while, it smelled a more exact location.

The enemy quickly adjusted their formation, and a young general riding a pony stepped out of it.

The young general covered the lower half of his face with a cotton cloth, and said in a proficient Donggan dialect: "It is rumored that the prince of the Dungan Kingdom is handsome, and I am lucky to see him today, and he is really extraordinary."

Xiao Beichen looked at him indifferently, and asked in a low voice, "Who?"

Duan Yan on his right faltered for a while before saying, "About...seems...really a little...unfamiliar."

Mo Yu, who came forward from the left, hesitated for a while, "I've never heard of it, but it looks like he's a tough guy to deal with."

The young general laughed twice, and said: "It is indeed time to introduce myself first." Afterwards, he heard the sound of surprise coming from the opposite side, and said regretfully: "It seems that it will be the next time, His Royal Highness, you must remember today's kindness. "

The lieutenant beside him asked in a low voice: "General, why don't you fight anymore, won't you win directly if you take down the crown prince of Dungan Kingdom?"

"Didn't you see that what we have been fighting with us is a group of dogs that protect the Lord. After fighting for so long, they would rather die than retreat half a step. And when the prince of the other side arrives, the Western Territory garrison will go up if they don't." The young general snorted coldly. With a sound, he turned his horse's head, "We are preparing for this battle in a hurry, and it is enough to beat the opponent out of the army."

The young general whipped his whip and galloped away, "Let's go, Moyan Pass is gone, it's just a wasteland anyway."

Duan Yan watched the troops on the other side retreat gradually, and spat out the dirty blood in his mouth, "Cut, fight again if you have the guts."

Mo Yu patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, we're here to stall for time, let's go when our goal is achieved."

Then they all looked behind them.

Ji Muqing has been found, his armor has been smashed and dented, and his body is covered in blood and gravel, but fortunately, he still has breath.Xiao Beichen picked him up and quickly moved to a newly built thatched hut nearby.

The day is fleeting, the night is deep, and there are still people coming and going in front of the thatched cottage.

Mo Yu brought a bowl of hot porridge, and slowly walked towards Xiao Beichen who was sitting alone, "Master, let's have something to eat."

Xiao Beichen came back to his senses, took the bowl and sipped it.He heard the noise not far away, frowned and said, "What are you talking about over there?"

Mo Yu turned around and took a look, "Oh, General Ji's personal soldiers are arguing with the western garrison, and the aborigines who survived are all condemning them for retreating."

"The garrison in the western region," Xiao Beichen lowered his eyelashes, "I have long been accustomed to defending rather than attacking. In the past few years when the Chijin Kingdom came to invade, they also strictly guarded it, and never took advantage of the victory to pursue."

Mo Yu nodded, "Nowadays, the generals stationed in the western region mostly adopt conservative tactics, and General Ji is much more aggressive."

"It's difficult to find out the real situation of the enemy's army by being conservative." Xiao Beichen sneered, "In today's battle, the opponent made a lot of pretentious actions."

"Master saw it?"

"If it's really a large army, I won't be able to arrive in time. There are very few generals in the western region, and the enemy has already figured out their temperament, so this time they control Lingjing, they dare to use the weak to attack the strong."

It was time for the imperial doctor to come out of the house and salute: "His Royal Highness, General Ji's wound has been bandaged, and he will probably have a high fever tonight."

Xiao Beichen stood up abruptly, "Is the injury serious?"

The imperial doctor hesitated for a while before saying: "Two ribs are broken, and he has serious internal injuries. He will be in a coma for a while. General Ji is very critical these days, and it will be difficult to recover well after a slight mistake in the treatment."

Xiao Beichen's breathing stagnated slightly, but he still managed to calm down, "Thank you, Imperial Doctor, and please do your best."

"Your Highness is serious, this is the job of a veteran." The imperial doctor paused, watching him try his best to suppress his emotions, and instructed: "Now General Ji needs to rest, and the veteran will go and watch the decoction first."

"Okay." Xiao Beichen made way sideways.

"The old minister retire."

After the imperial doctor left, Mo Yu probed into the house, "Master, I want my subordinates to arrange night watchmen..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Beichen had already entered the room and closed the door.

There is no furniture in the room, a table, a few chairs, and a bed.

"The camp is too far away, let's make do with it." Xiao Beichen walked slowly to the bed and sat down.

The person on the bed was pale, even his thin lips were bloodless, his body was covered with bandages, his thin arms looked distressing.

After watching for a long time, Xiao Beichen slowly stretched out his hand and tapped his forehead, and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that you missed it?"

The person on the bed didn't move, just lay quietly, breathing very lightly.Seeing that the clear eyebrows and eyes still looked fearless, he smiled twice with tears in his eyes.

"I'm afraid."

The author has something to say: the sweetness is over, the abuse is over, the author has to be careful.

Don't worry, it won't happen in the future, it will only be sweeter and sweeter, look at my sincere eyes, OVO.
