she won't live to twenty

Another place Wuming saw.

A bald barbarian with scars all over his face drew his bow again, staring fiercely at Wuming from a distance of nearly two miles, his facial expression was so ferocious that it was almost deformed.

Wuming chuckled, and raised his middle finger towards the man from afar.

Wuming met him in Weibei four years ago. At that time, he and his younger brother's brute force was close to the first rank, and he was the patriarch of a tribe.Relying on their superior force, the two brothers led hundreds of barbarians to harass Weibei border continuously, causing Weibei to lose many soldiers every time.Once the Weibei Army dispatched a large number of them to round up them, he immediately led the team to hide in the depths of the desert, causing the Weibei Army a headache for a long time.

Until the nameless appeared.

Four years ago, Wuming had just broken through to the first rank. Before leaving for Weibei, the second master gave her the red moon scimitar as a gift.Wuming held the treasured sword that had not yet been stained with blood in her hand, and her martial arts realm just happened to break through, and it was the moment when the fighting spirit was strong.

So when the bald barbarians harassed Weibei again, Wuming led a hundred Qingqi into the wilderness without hesitation. She entangled the bald brothers, Qingqi blocked the way for the rest of the barbarians to escape into the wilderness, and killed them all at once.

In that battle, Wuming killed the bald barbarian's younger brother and severely injured him.The bald barbarian has been domineering at the Weibei border countless times. For the first time, he fled back to the desert in embarrassment, his back like a poor dog.

After that, Wuming never saw him again, but after all, it was his first battle after arriving in Weibei, so he would never forget it.Furthermore, regardless of whether it is the Central Plains or the barbarians, there are very few masters who can reach the strength of the first rank. Now that the barbarians are fighting Weibei on a large scale, the bald barbarians will definitely play as the main force in the army.Last night's night search of Wuming failed to find where he was, so today he deliberately jumped to the highest point of the tower to lure him into the bait.

The enemy's masters are naturally one less if they can.

Wuming himself is not sure whether he will remember himself after four full years.Unexpectedly, not only did he remember, but he couldn't help but attack her even at the expense of exposing his position. Hatred really turned people into idiots.

Wuming smiled at him from a distance, and before he could shoot the second arrow, he jumped down the tower briskly and reported the coordinates to Tang Chiyu.

With Tang Chiyu's order, several cannon fodders were aimed at that side, and another round of burning arrows flew away.The bald barbarian looked up at the sky for a while, and then his expression became ferocious, as if he was scolding his mother.

Ordinary artillery fire and arrows can't do much damage to a first-rank master, but they can trap him there and buy time for the Weibei Army on the front line.

Wuming ignored the bald man. She and Tang Chiyu stood behind the city wall and observed the situation on the battlefield.

Now is not the time to lead troops to charge.

The sky was getting dark gradually, and the strong wind in Weibei was getting colder and colder, with ice slag in the wind, which caused pain on the face.

The battlefield was still shouting and killing, the flames illuminated the entire desert, and the soldiers on both sides were bloodshot, but this war still showed no sign of stopping.

Wuming and Tang Chiyu still watched quietly.

The night passed very long, and until the early morning, the barbarians were still attacking frantically.Boxes of gunfire and arrows were constantly being transported to the city wall in Weibei City, and wounded soldiers were being brought back from the hole in the wall. The whole Weibei City was in a mess, but no one complained. North's second victory.

After early morning, it was noon again.The temperature was very cold, but the scorching sun in the sky was so fierce that there were no clouds to cover it, burning the cheeks of everyone on the battlefield.In just one hour, someone's skin was burned, and the moment they stopped moving, they were immediately sore from the cold.

Until the evening, the barbarians finally had a tendency to retreat.

The Weibei city gate was wide open, and countless cavalry rushed out of it, chasing into the wilderness irresistibly.

Tang Chiyu led the charge and took the head of a profuse Khan, with Si Lian always protecting her.Wuming walked to the other side and stopped the bald barbarian who was exhausted by the artillery fire.This time Wuming didn't let him run away, he cut off his neck gracefully and swiftly, and the light cavalry behind him intercepted hundreds of barbarians.

However, this chase is not a one-sided massacre.

Although he captured a master barbarian and the head of the sweaty man, the Weibei army who went to pursue him also suffered a lot of casualties.The barbarians who fought back from the Jedi were more crazy and brutal than usual, fighting back desperately.

When it was dark, the second battle between the barbarians and the Weibei Army finally ended. The Weibei Army won again, but the morale in the barracks was no longer high.

Wuming didn't close his eyes all day and night on the battlefield, and Nanyue was always helping out in the logistics battalion under the city wall, looking up from time to time to stare at Wuming's back.After the two returned to the room from the battlefield, they hugged each other and fell asleep. It was not until the next night that they were woken up by the "meowing" of Xiao Huangsha, who was so hungry.

Wuming dragged his tired body to heat up goat milk for Xiao Huangsha, Nanyue sat up from the bed in a daze, and when Xiao Huangsha drank to his heart's content, they also went out to look for food.

The houses of Tang Chiyu and Si Lian are near here. Wuming thought they lived separately, but when he opened the door, he saw the two of them coming out of the same house.Tang Chiyu was the most tired one in this battle. She fell asleep without taking off her military armor. At this time, her face had several red marks and her hair was messed up.

Si Lian followed Tang Chiyu and was helping her comb her hair.Tang Chiyu yawned sleepily, and instinctively leaned his head on Si Lian's shoulder. Si Lian's movements did not stop, but his expression became much softer.

Their relationship seems to be one step closer.

Wuming smiled at Si Lian and didn't bother them.

After a while, when Tang Chiyu walked into the dining hall, he had regained his energy, discussing the next move with the soldiers while eating.

Although the barbarians were defeated again, no one in Weibei City dared to relax.The scouts were spying on the enemy in the depths of the wilderness, and the other soldiers were always on alert as usual, in case the barbarians attacked next time.

After this battle, it will soon be the Mid-Autumn Festival.

A few days ago, Tang Chiyu ordered someone to buy a batch of mooncakes near Weibei City. She rode a horse early in the morning and walked along the Weibei City Wall to personally deliver the mooncakes to the soldiers.

At night, the full moon hangs high in the sky, and the silver moonlight fills the entire desert.The soldiers sat around the fire, leaving a small open space in the middle.From time to time, people came to the center to sing, dance and even talk about cross talk. The barracks, which had been low for several days, finally regained some vitality.

When Tang Chiyu rode his horse back, there was laughter in the barracks.

"Your Highness!" Li Daxiao immediately got up and pulled her into the open space when he saw her, "Your Highness, tell me, can we win this battle?"

Tang Chiyu said without hesitation, "Yes!"

"Not only can we win, but we can also drive those barbarians back to the depths of the desert, so that we don't dare to invade our Great Qin border again!" Tang Chiyu's voice was loud and full of aura.

"it is good!"

"Your Highness is right!"

Applause erupted immediately around the open space, and the barracks was full of fighting spirit again.

"Your Highness, come and perform for us too." Someone booed.

"Show what?"

"Sing, dance, play the piano, whatever."

Tang Chiyu scratched her head and muttered, "How the hell can I do this? How about dancing a sword for you?"

Li Daxiao said aggrievedly: "Your Highness, I watched you dance tens of thousands of times during practice, we are already tired of watching it, why don't you think about something else?"

"Your Highness, I can dance..." Before Si Lian finished speaking, Tang Chiyu interrupted: "You...you can't!"

Si Lian buried her head in a chuckle, took Tang Chiyu's hand lightly, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Okay, okay, from now on I'll only dance for His Majesty, how about it?"

Tang Chiyu didn't answer, but his cheeks were completely red.

The surrounding soldiers clapped their hands and booed loudly, and the performance was over.Tang Chiyu exchanged a few words with the soldiers, and before leaving, he asked, "Where are Wuming and Xiao Nanyue? Did any of you see them?"

"It seems to be on the top of the tower." Li Daxiao replied.

Tang Chiyu rode to the bottom of the city tower, and when he looked up, he saw the backs of the two embracing each other, cuddling each other and looking up at the moon.

The moonlight was bright, and the backs of the two were also covered with a hazy veil.

"Your Highness, let's not bother?" Si Lian said softly.

Si Lian didn't ride a horse just now, but was riding the same horse as Tang Chiyu at this moment. Taking advantage of the opportunity to speak, she gently wrapped her hands around Tang Chiyu's waist.

Tang Chiyu nodded, turned his gaze to Si Lian's fingers clasped around his waist, frowned, but didn't say much.Seeing that she didn't respond, Si Lian exhaled softly, "Your Highness hasn't answered my previous question yet."

"What?" Tang Chiyu was startled, and then realized that Si Lian was referring to the sentence he asked in front of the soldiers just now.

How about just showing her the dance alone?

Tang Chi's ear tingled suddenly, and her fingers could hardly hold the rein steadily. She said sharply, "Si Lian, don't push yourself too hard!"

Si Lian was not frightened by her, but chuckled lightly: "Your Highness agrees?"

Tang Chiyu: "..."

She swung her horsewhip and galloped on the deserted street, but the cold wind couldn't blow away the heat on her face.

……

The top of the tower.

Nanyue huddled in Wuming's arms, Xiao Huangsha huddled in Nanyue's arms, one person and one cat showed their heads outside, looking up at the moon together.

It's like the years when I returned to the wasteland of the capital of Shu.

At this time last year, none of them thought that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival would be spent with each other on the Weibei battlefield.

"No name." Nanyue turned her head and smiled softly, "Today is the first Mid-Autumn Festival I have spent in these 11 years."

Because only the Mid-Autumn Festival spent with the family can be regarded as the Mid-Autumn Festival night.

Only nameless is her family.

"It's also my first Mid-Autumn Festival." Wuming hugged her tightly, and said with a light smile, "We will spend every Mid-Autumn Festival together in the future."

Little Huangsha raised her head: "Meow."

Wuming and Nanyue lowered their heads, teasing Xiao Huangsha and laughing softly.

……

A few days later, the barbarians carried out a surprise attack, and were retreated by the Weibei army again. The barbarians near the desert suddenly disappeared, and the Weibei border gate was quiet for nearly half a month.

One afternoon, Tang Chiyu sat on the edge of the city wall, his legs dangling outside, his hands on his chin, staring at the empty desert in a daze.

In the past half a month, even if the scouts went deep into the wilderness, they couldn't find any trace of the barbarians.Many people wondered if the barbarians had already been frightened by the beating, and they retreated completely into the desert, not daring to take Daqin's idea again.Some people in the Weibei Army even started to cheer for victory, so they relaxed.

However, Tang Chiyu did not relax his vigilance for a long time. He not only rode a horse to inspect the city wall every day, but also asked the generals to rectify their military discipline.

"Your Highness, why do you think the barbarians will come back?" Si Lian asked softly as he put on a thick fluffy cloak for her.

"Intuition." Tang Chiyu said distressedly, "I always feel a little uneasy. Those barbarians have obviously put in a lot of effort to invade the Great Qin. Now there are only three battles, so how can they give up? And Wuming also said that those barbarians temporarily evacuated , probably just to confuse us, once we relax at this time, we will fall into the trap of the barbarians, and the consequences will be disastrous."

"Your Highness is right." Si Lian's tone suddenly turned sour, "Your Highness trusts Wuming so much?"

The word reliance refers to trust and dependence.

No matter the big or small things, Tang Chiyu obviously trusted Wuming.Si Lian didn't mean to alienate her by asking this question at this time, but because...she really felt a little jealous.

In the past few days in Weibei, the relationship between Si Lian and Tang Chiyu has improved by leaps and bounds.After the barbarian's second attack, Si Lian even moved into Tang Chiyu's room just like that. Although nothing crossed the line after that, hugging was always inevitable.

Does Tang Chiyu like Si Lian?

She thinks she should like it.

But does Tang Chiyu trust her?

Not at all.

Si Lian knew that he deserved it, but he still couldn't help feeling sour.She hugged Tang Chiyu's shoulders from behind, letting her rest on her soft heart.

Tang Chiyu's cheeks were flushed, but he didn't avoid it.

"Well... I do trust Wuming very much." Tang Chiyu replied earnestly, "I trust Wuming, just like I trust my elder brother. Although Wuming is younger than me, she knows a lot of things and principles, and she is always very helpful. Take care of me and protect me, like a sister. She...is different from you, don't eat, eat her jealousy."

Tang Chiyu took the initiative to hold Si Lian's hand, held it in his palm and stroked it carefully.

The jealousy in Si Lian's heart immediately dissipated completely: "Your Highness, can you tell me something about you and Wuming before?"

"Before?" Tang Chiyu recalled for a while, and smiled, "I saw Wuming for the first time when I was a child, and seeing that my elder brother liked her so much, I was actually very unconvinced in my heart, and even took the initiative to provoke her."

Si Lian asked curiously, "Then...?"

"Then I was beaten up by her, and she scolded me several times." Tang Chiyu scratched his head, "I have been domineering in the capital for so many years, and this is the first time someone dared to beat me and scold me. It's terrible."

"I didn't expect His Highness and Wuming girl to be like this when they were young." Si Lian covered her mouth and chuckled.

Tang Chiyu continued: "But even though I was crying at that time, I admired her martial arts skills, and after thinking about it carefully, what she scolded was quite reasonable, so I took the initiative to apologize to her the next day."

"Your Highness had such a pure and straightforward temperament when he was a child." Si Lian boasted softly.

Tang Chiyu's cheeks were slightly red: "Actually, thinking about it now, during the seven years when my elder brother left Beijing, the emperor pampered me without a bottom line. Brother Six is ​​only one year older than me. He seems to spoil me, but he never treats me like elder brother. I disciplined me. During the seven years, I actually learned a lot. It was not until my elder brother brought Wuming back to Beijing that he broke me back. Wuming helped me a lot and taught me many things. Before I wanted to come to Weibei to join the army, she begged my father to ask him to agree. Sometimes I couldn’t help thinking, if there was no nameless, would I not be where I am now. Forget it, let’s not talk about this, Lest you get jealous again, anyway, I never had that kind of meaning towards Wuming."

"Your Highness, I'm not jealous." Si Lian said softly.

Si Lian traveled behind Tang Chiyu and the others for three months, but he still hasn't seen through what kind of person Wuming is.

To Nanyue, Wuming was gentle to the bottom of her heart.To outsiders, Wuming's attitude can be regarded as indifferent and ruthless, but occasionally there will be a little blood hidden in his heart.To Tang Chiyu, Wuming is more like an elder who guides her to grow up.To Si Lian herself, Wuming was kind to her.

Si Lian's attitude towards Wuming in the past was more suspicion and fear. Although she still can't see through her now, since Tang Chiyu trusts her so much... then let's consider her a friend.

Tang Chiyu gave a soft "um", she was still holding Si Lian's hand, her eyes were once again focused on the vast desert, and her brows were frowned again.

"Your Highness is thinking about barbarians again?" Si Lian asked.

"Yes." Tang Chiyu sighed, "I'm a little scared."

Si Lian hugged her tightly from behind: "Afraid of barbarians?"

"We don't know anything about the barbarians." Tang Chiyu said slowly, "Although scouts have gone deep into the wasteland these days, they either found nothing or never returned. Although I always feel that the barbarians will definitely attack again, but now We don't even know their location, let alone sneak into the barracks again to find out the situation. It would be great if our Daqin national power could be stronger, and if the Weibei Army could have more numbers, equipment, and logistical supplies, then we We have the capital to go deep into the wilderness to explore, instead of sitting on the city wall and doing nothing but worry and fear like now."

Si Lian lowered her head silently, she didn't know what to say, so she could only comfort Tang Chiyu silently.

"Xiaoqi, what are you talking about?"

Coincidentally, a familiar voice came from behind him.Wuming led Nanyue over, and the two sat on the wall next to them, bringing a kitten with them.

Wuming patted Tang Chiyu on the shoulder, raised his chin and said with a smile, "Xiao Qi, why do you distrust yourself so much?"

Tang Chiyu was startled.

Wuming smiled wildly: "No matter what, I believe in you, and I believe that your Weibei Army will definitely win."

The astonishment in Tang Chiyu's eyes gradually turned into raging flames, she nodded vigorously: "Definitely!"

Si Lian curled up his fingers quickly.

She knew why Tang Chiyu didn't trust her enough, not because she was not as good as Wuming, but because...

She didn't trust Tang Chiyu enough.

Also hearing Tang Chiyu's unconfident words, Si Lian only thought of comforting her. At that time, she was even thinking about how to take Tang Chiyu away after Weibei was occupied by barbarians.But Wuming firmly believed that Tang Chiyu would definitely lead the Weibei Army to victory.

Only enough trust can be exchanged for equal feelings.

Si Lian thought a lot at once.

……

Another half a month passed, and in mid-September, fluffy white snow fell in the desert of Weibei.Just when most people thought that the barbarians would never come back again, the barbarians attacked Weibei again without warning.

The scouts didn't even find out where their camp was, but saw overwhelming barbarians frantically rushing towards the Weibei city wall like locusts crossing the border.The tens of miles of city walls, no matter where you look at them, are all covered in darkness.

Fortunately, Tang Chiyu has always asked the Weibei Army not to relax, and has always maintained a state of combat readiness.The horn was blown in time, and the beacon was ignited immediately, and countless Weibei troops quickly threw themselves into the battle.

When he heard the news that the army was crushing the city, Wuming and Nanyue were huddling under the blanket and teasing the cat.

Little Huangsha has grown up quite a bit, so he no longer needs to drink goat milk, and can feed himself with just a little meat every day.At this time, the kitten was at an active age, and would pester the two of them to play with it every day.

At this time, Xiao Huangsha was grinning at Wuming, and rushed towards Wuming with a "meow", then was gently bounced away by Wuming, rolled on the bed a few times, then stood up and rushed towards Wuming again.Nanyue covered her mouth and laughed lightly, watching Wuming bullying Xiaohuangsha, the two of them never tired of it.

"Boss! The barbarians are coming again!" The orderly only gave a notice, and immediately ran deeper into the barracks, and the voices outside the room immediately became chaotic.

Wuming picked up the back of Xiao Huangsha's neck, handed it to Nanyue's arms, and immediately got up: "I'll go and have a look."

"I'll wait for you under the city wall too." Nanyue also stood up and gently grabbed Wuming's cuff.

In the previous two wars, Nanyue stayed in the logistics camp under the city wall waiting for Wuming, and did not go back to her room to rest until the end of the war.Wuming felt distressed, but Little Moon had grown up and was an independent adult, she was not qualified to make decisions for her.So Wuming only hesitated for a moment, then followed Nanyue's wish and took her hand.

"Well, let's go together." Wuming said softly.

However, when they arrived at the city wall, the sounds of fighting that were more terrifying than the previous two wars reached their ears, and the stench bypassed the towering city wall and floated in from the other side of the desert.The Weibei City Gate opened the side gate, and cavalrymen continued to pour out of it, rushing to the battlefield in an orderly manner.

Not right.

Wuming frowned, and did not let go of Nanyue's hand immediately, but pulled her into his arms: "Hold me tight."

Nanyue retracted obediently into her cloak, as she did many times before.

Wuming tiptoed to the ground and swept up the top of the city.

On the other side of the city wall, the army of barbarians continued to pour in, and there was almost no end in sight, no matter whether you looked to the left or to the right.

10 people? 20?Or more...?

Wuming had no doubt that the barbarians had dispatched all their troops this time.

No wonder the Weibei Army just stayed near the city wall the last two times when the barbarians attacked the city, until the barbarians retreated before catching up.But this time the Weibei army had to take the initiative to attack to prevent the barbarians from approaching the city wall, otherwise, once these locust-like barbarians swarmed under the city wall, the consequences would be disastrous.

If it wasn't for Tang Chiyu...I'm afraid Weibei City at this time has been breached as in the original text. At that time, the Central Plains will be in chaos, the people will live in dire straits, and the people of Daqin will live in a real hell on earth.
