After the rebirth, I was picked up by the prince

Before General Qi Zizhen could recover from his daze, a soldier who came in couldn't help saying, "The tune played by Mr. Military Advisor is so touching."

One soldier opened his mouth, and then many soldiers started talking in a hurry.

"Master Military Adviser is also very gentle."

"Yes, it's like spring."

"Reminds me of my mother..."

"I think about my wife who has always supported me and helped me at home."

"..."

The soldiers spoke with sincerity, as if they were really moved by Qi Zizhen's short piece of music just now.

Qi Zizhen: "...Huh?"

He was still very dazed.

Although his piece of music does show the warmth of spring and the tenderness soaked in all aspects, it should not be to the point where the listener is sad and the listener is crying, right?

Seeing that Song Yaoxu also seemed to be deeply involved in some kind of emotion, Qi Zizhen, who was at a loss, forced himself to regain his composure, coughed lightly and briefly responded to the soldiers' appreciation, and then sent them back to do their own things.

Not long after the lively entrance of the tent, there was only a quiet night.

All that was left was the birthday star beside him who didn't know what he was feeling distressed about.

Qi Zizhen turned his head to look at Song Yaoxu, and saw that the distress in his clear eyes had grown a little more in the short time he spoke to the soldiers.

His throat was choked, and he couldn't hold back and asked, "Your Highness... I shouldn't have been diagnosed with any terminal illness just now, right?"

Song Yaoxu's mood originally drawn by that piece of music dissipated completely because of Qi Zizhen's nonsensical words.

He smiled helplessly, and responded: "That's not true, it's just that the music played by Zizhen is very infectious, and it reminds me of you in those days before."

At that time, Qi Zizhen was still lifeless and wanted to die, but now he can sit with him in the barracks and show his emotions. Whether it is joy or depression, it is because of the countless times he hoped to see from him in those days. vitality.

After breaking free from the despair of the previous life, the thriving vitality.

Song Yaoxu let out a breath, raised his hand and patted his head again, and praised him sincerely: "It's no loss that the young pagoda master can attract all birds to sing together, and he is really good at music."

However, when Qi Zizhen heard his words, he was even more at a loss: "What is the singing of all birds? When did I cause all the birds to sing together?"

"Don't Zizhen know?" Song Yaoxu also showed surprise, "On the first time you sacrificed, the people in the capital saw that scene."

Qi Zizhen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Isn't the bird chirping I heard at that time a fantasy produced by my concentration?"

Song Yaoxu laughed dumbly: "Of course not, there were several visions before that. For example, when you played on the stone bridge, it would snow, when you played at the father's birthday banquet, the sun was pouring down, and in the South Study Room. The last time you played it attracted a lot of butterflies and birds. Don't you feel all of these?"

Qi Zizhen was so shocked that he didn't even bother to answer.

When did he become so powerful, why didn't he know?

Seeing his reaction, Song Yaoxu almost understood his answer, and gently pinched his cheek: "In the future, don't play the complete piece of music lightly, especially some negative emotions. I'm afraid that someone will take the opportunity to spread rumors and hurt you."

According to Song Yaoxu's previous observation, the more complete the repertoire played by Qi Zizhen, the bigger the vision will be.

He only played a short part of this "birthday ceremony", but nothing happened except that it could arouse strong resonance, otherwise it would be very likely to be noticed by the enemy soldiers who are close at hand.

Qi Zizhen understood what he meant and nodded cautiously.

Inexplicably, there was a strange skill that he didn't know when it came, and he always felt that it wasn't necessarily a good thing.

Afterwards, the two of them didn't linger on this topic any longer. After giving Song Yaoxu a simple and plain birthday, where even the longevity noodles could only be made by the birthday star himself, Qi Zizhen was ready to do some serious business.

Song Yaoxu was worried that accidents might happen in the dark night, so he went with him.

They walked all the way to the forest where Qi Zizhen released the birds this morning.

Qi Zizhen was still holding a bamboo flute in his hand, and played the tune Qin Gong taught him. After a while, he saw a bird fluttering its wings and landed on his flute. There was a small note tied around the bird's feet. .

He stood still on the spot, Song Yaoxu tacitly took a step forward, took off the note from the bird's foot, spread it out, and handed it to him to read with him.

I saw eight big characters written messily on the small note——Tomorrow afternoon, the name is Flying Bird.

The inscription is a word "far" that is so flamboyant that it almost splashes out from the corner of the paper.

Qi Zizhen and Song Yaoxu looked at each other, and the hazy night slanted in front of them, faintly mixed with a bit of cold white moonlight.

Their eyes were filled with slight smiles almost at the same time.

They had waited two and a half months for the moment, and it arrived.

The next day, August [-]th is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

According to the rule of three days a small fight and five days a big fight, Ling Chao's army should be going to fight with the Chongping County defenders again today.

But maybe it was Prince Renyi who gave the soldiers a short holiday for today's Mid-Autumn Festival, and the defenders of Chongping County could hear the sound of joy and harmony in the city from the morning.

Sounds like it's just here to have fun.

A soldier guarding the city reported the incident to General Hu Yanyangxia.

Huyan Yangxia has been fighting with Southwest General Sun Wushun for many years, and has seen a lot of various tactics. Hearing this, he has a general picture in his heart, but he doesn't really care about it on the surface. He just ordered more troops to go to the south gate where the main force of the Ling Dynasty is stationed , be alert at any time.

The soldier who reported said "Yes", and when he was about to retreat, Hu Yanyang Xia was stopped by him again: "Wait a minute."

The soldier hurriedly stopped in his tracks, with some fear in his eyes, fearing that what he had missed to report made the evil spirit unhappy.

Fortunately, Huyan Yangxia didn't intend to make things difficult for him. He rubbed the wine glass in his hand and said, "Take that group of untouchables to the south gate, and if they really start fighting, let them go out and lead the battle."

"...Yes." The soldier lowered his head and respectfully responded, and then retreated politely, averting the flash of anger and hatred in his eyes except fear.

Huyanyang Xia calmly drank the remaining half glass of wine in one gulp, with a haughty expression.

He didn't believe that the good-for-nothing prince could make trouble with so many untouchables.As long as they catch them all when they are afraid, isn't the task entrusted to him by the Southwest General within reach?

Huyan Yangxia's posture was casual, and he raised his hand and another celebrity brought a jar of good wine.

On the other side, after a while, Qi Zizhen also received the news from the insider, saying that the number of defenders at the south gate had increased.

The insider was also a friend of Wei Lingshen, who happened to live in Chongping County, and he was a little worried when he reported it: "Master Military Advisor, why did you deliberately behave so abnormally so that the enemy would notice?"

Qi Zizhen slightly curled his lips into a smile, and his dark eyes were filled with arrogance and cold frost: "What I want is for them to notice the change in the south gate."

Song Yaoxu on the side also smiled lightly, also with a confident look: "The Chongping County garrison is no more than a few thousand people. We just need to face the front without losing momentum."

The insider was just a quack, and he didn't understand these tactics, so he chose to resign dutifully in the end.

Everything is ready, and now we are waiting for the final signal.

And this time, they waited until Shenzheng time.

Standing in front of the tent, Qi Zizhen saw one or two sporadic birds flying over from Chongping County, turned around and stretched out his hand to Song Yaoxu, palm facing up.

Song Yaoxu had already carried the bow and arrow that Song Xingqiu had given him on his back. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth when he saw it, and he stepped forward and slapped him lightly. Then he clasped his five fingers together, pulled it a little and then let go: "Let's go."

Qi Zizhen lowered his hands and closed his palms, as if he wanted to hold the short-lived warmth tightly.

He nodded, and followed Song Yaoxu with a long gun in his hand.

It didn't take long for the soldiers, who were still having fun because of the festival, to gather quickly at Song Yaoxu's order, and almost immediately they were fully armed and stood aggressively under the city of Chongping County, ready to attack at any time.

The soldiers guarding the city in Chongping County had already been ordered to stand ready, and the ordinary people who took the lead were also pushed out from behind the city gate.

Those people didn't have military armor on them, they only wore their usual coarse linen clothes, and the weapons in their hands were even more crude and ugly.

Such a leading "soldier" was obviously not treated as a human life by the general guarding the city.

Song Yaoxu looked at the trembling people, his eyes darkened slightly, his hand holding the rein was clenched even tighter, he barely held back his anger and stood still.

It wasn't until he saw two more birds galloping past that he finally shouted angrily: "You wait until the north gate is broken, and your loved ones have been captured. Those who descend quickly will not be killed!"

The loud and gentle voice echoed in front of the city gate of Chongping County, and the originally tense atmosphere was suddenly broken.

After hearing Song Yaoxu's words clearly, the soldiers and common people showed some hesitation on their expressions.

Has the north gate of Chongping County really been breached?Are their relatives really saved?

Song Yaoxu didn't give them more time to struggle and react, and almost after he finished speaking, he ordered the vanguard troops to rush directly to the city gate!

The shouts of killing soaring to the sky resounded under the city gate, and the hesitant people and soldiers had no generals to lead them, and they didn't know how to act for a while.

Especially the ordinary people under the city gate, they waved the broken copper and iron in their hands in fear, not knowing whether they should surrender obediently or desperately for their families.

But the ferocious soldiers didn't give them time to think, they galloped on their horses almost instantly!

After the common people came the soldiers defending the city. Most of the soldiers decided to rush forward to fight because of Huyan Yangxia's brutality.

The poor people were caught between countless iron cavalry, and the powerful momentum made them breathless. The sound of huge horseshoes and iron swords colliding violently echoed in their ears, almost shattering their eardrums.

Those who are most likely to be injured in the chaos are these unarmored civilians. Even if Song Yaoxu had ordered in advance not to hurt ordinary people, it is inevitable that some soldiers will inadvertently injure them by swinging their swords.

A young man in his teens was standing among the chaotic horses, his expression was extremely flustered, and he was holding a rusty dagger tightly in his hands.He watched a coldly shining sword blade slashing straight at him, and was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he couldn't even move his feet to hide.

At the same time that the blade was slashing down, his eyes were wide open, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

But before he was split by the huge pain, he heard a sound of piercing through the horse's hooves, and knocked down the long sword in front of him with a "clang", followed by a "swish" sound from an arrow that knocked down the long sword. Digged into the soil at his feet.

After that, countless arrows cut through the iron hooves and screams, and shot down the long swords that were slashing at the people with a cold light—these long swords were all in the hands of Chongping County Guards.

The young man unconsciously raised his head, walked through thousands of troops, and fixed his gaze on the figure holding a bow and arrow under the handsome banner not far away.

The hard armor was dazzled by the west slanting sun, and a longbow was held straight up by the slender and powerful arms.He sat firmly on the horse, like a proud and tall pine and cypress, firmly guarding the originally weak life with the arrow in his hand.

In a trance, the boy could almost hear the hunting sound of Shuai Qi in the wind.

——That is the commander of the Ling Dynasty army, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of their Ling Dynasty!

But no matter how fast His Highness the Crown Prince's arrow is, it is impossible to keep the lives of ordinary people like them in the midst of thousands of troops.

The young man who had lost his strength and fell was in a trance for a moment, and suddenly stood up with all his strength and screamed: "I surrender! I surrender——!"

The hoarse and trembling voice could only be regarded as a small stone in the battle of the army, but this stone fell into the blood sea pond, causing a circle of ripples.

Before he had time to yell a third time, a horse came towards him at a high speed, and the soldiers who came quickly picked him up on the horse without saying a word, and then led him to gallop all the way back to Ling Chao's camp .

——That was the soldier His Royal Highness specially arranged to rescue them among the soldiers!

Ripples of pebbles hit the edge of the pond, and soon new, countless ripples appeared.

Surrender came out one after another, and people were rescued from the battlefield.

Qi Zizhen stood by Song Yaoxu's side all the time, watching the last innocent civilian being put on a horse and brought back to their army.

He turned his head to look at the focused and stern young man beside him, and called softly, "Your Highness."

Song Yaoxu also turned his head to meet his gaze, with a firm and trusting smile in his eyes.

Qi Zizhen smiled back for a moment, and then he suppressed all the emotions he shouldn't have, raised his long gun and shouted loudly: "The main force obeys the order! Come with me into Chongping County!"

"Dong dong——!"

"kill--!"

The sound of heavy drumming and the scream of killing once again swept through the large open space in front of the city gate of Chongping County like a storm. Qi Zizhen rushed to the front of the army on horseback, smashing bamboo with only a long gun. The momentum rushed straight to the gate of Chongping County!

"puff!"

"call out--"

Just when Qi Zizhen's long spear sank into the chest of the enemy army in front of him again, a sharp arrow pierced through the throat of a soldier who swung a sword on his right side.

Warm blood splashed on his body, but it was not as hot as before.

He casually glanced at the arrow blade in the throat of the soldier on the right, hooked his lips into a smile, and continued to charge forward without stopping.

He knew that his only task this time was to move forward, keep rushing forward, and wipe out the enemies in front of him.

And beside him and behind him, the proud and upright figure of the commander-in-chief was always watching over him.

Song Yaoxu entrusted him with the task of charging, and he completely entrusted his surroundings to Song Yaoxu.

This is the most loyal trust he can dedicate to Song Yaoxu.

——A trust that puts one's life on the line without reservation.
