[Zuzhou] White clothes in the world

The setting sun was like blood, as if it was about to sprinkle the last brilliance of the day on the earth. In the east corner, the bright moon and silver light gradually replaced the golden light. The evening wind turned cooler, and the noble man standing by the clear water couldn't help but fold his shoulders.

The young man in commoner clothes raised his head high, and the stars were shining brightly in the purple-blue sky. He couldn't help stretching out his hand, and grasped it, wanting to grab all the stars in the sky.

Qing Yi stared blankly at Wu Xuan making this puzzling movement, he blinked, imitating Wu Xuan, stretched out his hand, and held it in the void, only feeling the coldness of the cold wind blowing over his hand.Qingyi withdrew his hand, crossed his arms again, and looked at the clear water surface projected by the starlight.Lanterns were lit on the five city defenses of Chilong County facing each other across the water, like five silent giants who opened their eyes, guarding against the threat from the other side.

"The wind of Xuanji is not manifested by Xinghan." Wu Xuan retracted his hand stretched out to the void, and said to himself.

Having been together with Wu Xuan for a long time, it is not surprising that Qing Yi has long been familiar with Wu Xuan's nagging.Wu Xuan put his hands in front of his chest, with his thumbs facing each other, and the rest of his fingers interlaced. In the void, a six-pointed star formation lit up. Wu Xuan lived in the formation, with his eyes closed, his hands constantly changing, making a dozen or so gestures in just an instant.Following Wu Xuan's gestures, the brilliance of the six-pointed star formation became more and more intense. After Wu Xuan made the last gesture, the six-pointed starlight illuminated half a mile around like daylight.In the extreme darkness, the hexagram formed by Wu Xuan is breathtaking.Compared with the six-pointed star formation formed by Wu Xuan, the five silent giants on the opposite side were much dimmer.

"Take it!" With Wu Xuan's low call, the brilliance of the hexagram disappeared instantly, and the world returned to the dead silence and darkness just now, as if nothing had happened.

"Wu Xuan, are you alright!" The moment the six-pointed star array disappeared, Qingyi saw Wu Xuan's face pale with the help of the last ray of light from the array.Shi Le Si Ming Yuan's commanding staff use formation and secret techniques as their way of practice, which requires practitioners to concentrate their energy and pick up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Wu Xuangang formed the highest level of spells in Si Ming Yuan, not only to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, It still needs to consume the skills of the formation form. Wu Xuan is still young and can only condense for a short moment.

Wu Xuan leaned on Qingyi's shoulder, gasped weakly, and asked, "Has the general returned?"

"When I left, I told Tang Xu that the general would immediately report on Leng Yan when he came back. It's not yet..." Before Qing Yi finished speaking, a bright light streaked across the city wall of Fufeng County a few miles away.Qingyi patted Wu Xuan's shoulder excitedly, pointing to the bright light: "The general is back!"

"Have you come riding?"

"Jiyue has been following us." Qingyi whistled, and in the moonlight, a silver-white horse galloped towards Qingyi and stopped in front of Qingyi.

Qing Yi got on the horse, pulled Wu Xuan to wrap around him, shook the rein with both hands, and galloped towards Fufeng County with the weak Si Ming Yuan Shao Si Ming.

The plump body of Fufeng County Sheriff blocked the door, keeping all the idlers out of the house.Gu Minglan looked around the people in the room, and finally set his eyes on Fufeng Sheriff, he frowned, and said to Fufeng Sheriff: "If the Sheriff is fine, how about going to rest first?"

The governor of Fufeng County knew that Gu Minglan was driving him away, and today he had made up his mind that he must know what Gu Minglan and Yankong Jingliehou talked about before he could let go.Now that the two countries have soldiers on both sides of Qingshui, once a war breaks out, Fufeng County will bear the brunt. As a family that has multiplied here for generations, Fufeng County Governor feels that he can no longer stand aside and watch this group of nobles who suddenly came from the imperial capital take his ancestors. The foundation strives for fame.The governor of Fufeng County smirked, and there was a hint of coldness in his voice: "General Gu left Qinglong King alone to meet with the generals of the enemy country. The official position is low, but this happened in my Fufeng County. As the governor of a county, the subordinate official must You have to find out what the general and Mo Jingzhi talked about, so you can explain to the king."

"Bastard!" A general sitting opposite the Fufeng Sheriff slammed the table, stood up, drew his sword, and glared angrily at the Fufeng Sheriff who looked up in horror but still raised his head.

The governor of Fufeng County swallowed nervously, trying to ease the fear in his heart. He made up his mind that if he couldn't find out what the conversation between Gu Minglan and Mo Jingzhi was in the afternoon today, he would not leave here, even if he was faced with a sword on his neck. Not one step back.The hand of the Fufeng county magistrate holding the handle of the chair broke out in cold sweat. Tonight he took out all the courage he had accumulated in his life.

"Tang Xu, step back!" Gu Minglan glanced at the Fufeng County Sheriff who was barely holding on, and waved the general to sit back.

Tang Xu was not reconciled, but because of Gu Minglan, he could only sit back on his chair and glared at the governor of Fufeng County.

The governor of Fufeng County panicked from being stared at by Tang Xu. He turned his head not to meet Tang Xu's eyes, but could only look at Gu Minglan who was sitting in the first seat with an indifferent expression.

"Then trouble the sheriff for a while." Gu Minglan lightly tapped her finger on the table next to her, and nodded to the sheriff of Fufeng.

The governor of Fufeng tried his best to force a smile, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I am waiting for you."

Mo Jingzhi led a skinny horse that he bought from no one knew where, draped in moonlight, and walked slowly on the path of Gudaoting. It had been nearly an hour since he and Gu Minglan had separated, and Gu Minglan had already returned to Fufeng County , he was still wandering back and forth on this trail. "Hey..." Mo Jingzhi raised his head and glanced at the moon in the sky. The moon is bright and clear tonight, and the stars are shining brightly. It is a good day for a night out in the wind.It's a pity that Gu Minglan rejected Mo Jingzhi's proposal, got on the horse, and left just like that.

"It's been a long time since I played music against the wind." Mo Jingzhi took out the flute tied to the saddle, and put it to his mouth to try out the sound.Mo Jingzhi turned over and rode on the horseback, with the flute at his mouth, pressed his finger on the hole of the flute, closed his eyes, and the clear sound of the flute flew out from his fingertips. The sound became pleasant.

The red maple trees on both sides of the path overlap and cover each other, and the moonlight casts mottled shadows on the ground, some of which fall on the body of the piper. The handsome face of the lonely piper is faintly visible. It's a pity that no one can play the flute with him.

At the end of the song, the path came to an end.The city defenses connected by the five battlements of Chilong County appeared in front of Mo Jingzhi's eyes. Mo Jingzhi gently stroked the body of the flute, with the corners of his mouth curled up, and with both hands, the body of the flute broke in two.Mo Jingzhi threw the broken flute back casually, and rode his horse into Chilong County.This was the last night that he could sleep peacefully. The man on the skinny horse touched his lips, and the cold chill seemed to linger on his lips, passed through his fingers, and swam straight into his heart.

"It's really cold." Mo Jingzhi shuddered and said to the subordinates who came up to him.

Yuan Jin was stunned for a moment, took the reins from Mo Jingzhi, smiled and said, "Master Hou, Yuan Jin is a rough man, but it's getting colder and colder today, next time you go out, change your clothes."

Mo Jingzhi nodded, spread his hands, and looked at the belt of his toga. It was indeed a little thin. Wearing it on an autumn night, he couldn't suppress the cold wind that penetrated into the bone marrow.

"Tell the soldiers, it's cool in the evening, and you should put on more quilts when you sleep at night." Mo Jingzhi said seriously.

Yuan Jin was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Thank you, Lord Hou, for being considerate of the soldiers. Before leaving, the soldiers knew that this battle might be fought next year, so they all prepared winter clothes."

"Oh?" Mo Jingzhi blinked with interest, and then said with a smile, "It seems that I'm the only one who is so lazy."

Yuan Jin smiled: "Master Hou is joking. You don't even know when this battle will end."

"I can't figure it out," Mo Jingzhi shook his head, "However, I can almost guess what he wants to do."

"Ah?" Yuan Jin was puzzled.

"It's okay, let's go, go into the house and eat something warm, I'm freezing to death!" Mo Jingzhi rubbed his hands, and walked into the sheriff's mansion first.

Yankong Chilong County is an important military town in Yankong. There is no county guard, only a general for defense, who directly obeys the general who is appointed by the king during the war.

As soon as Mo Jingzhi came back, General Chilong Sifang immediately presented the battle report he got in the afternoon to Mo Jingzhi. "Master Hou, this is the news that the scouts just sent."

Mo Jingzhi glanced at the young general approvingly, took the battle report sealed with wax paint, and opened it.After a quick glance, Mo Jingzhi put the battle report on the candle and burned it, and said to the young subordinate in front of him, "Please write a letter to the lord for me, please send [-] troops to Suiyang and Wu." city ​​border."

"The last general obeys orders!" General Chilong Sifang led the order and left.

Mo Jingzhi looked at the young general's straight back, and said to Yuan Jin, "He is a rare general."

Yuan Jin nodded: "Yes, I heard that before he joined the army, he was the son of an ordinary family. Three years ago, the Chilong Army met with a team of high cavalry from Beimo. General Fang defeated nearly a thousand high cavalry with 300 men and horses. He was brave and courageous. After the former General Si Fang retired, he recommended this person to the king. Chilong was under his jurisdiction for three years, and Beimo Gaoqi did not dare to cross the border to plunder. If Shi Le's Imperial General hadn't personally led the army today, the king would have assured Chilong to be guarded by him."

Mo Jingzhi nodded, then chuckled again, waved his hands and said, "He is still capable of fighting Gu Minglan, just because he doesn't have many soldiers."

"Shile Chen has [-] soldiers at the edge of Qingshui, and the lord sent me [-] ink cavalry. Chilong originally had [-] city defense forces, [-] versus [-]. General, this battle is not easy to fight." Yuan Jin said worriedly.

Mo Jingzhi didn't blame Yuan Jin for losing morale before the battle. If the person leading the army this time was not Gu Minglan, Mo Jingzhi was [-]% sure that he would be able to defend Chilong. When he met General Shi Leyu, Marquis Jinglie of Yankong was only [-]% sure .

"Soldiers come to block you." Mo Jingzhi sighed softly, "Now I can only pray that the ruler of Dongxun Country is not so ridiculous that he doesn't even save the people who guard his country."

Yuan Jin raised his eyes suddenly, he suddenly understood what Mo Jingzhi was referring to, and asked in shock: "Does Shi Le want to provoke a war in the whole Zuzhou?"

"Although they changed their surname to Yun, after all, they flow the blood of Emperor Yuanshi."
