Have space to challenge your heart

Border town garrison, Xining.

Different from Jiangnan where the apricot blossoms are misty and rainy, Xining in September has an extra-terrestrial style of autumn wind and horses. As the sunset falls, the barracks with a murderous atmosphere rise one after another, making the barracks with a heavy atmosphere a little more Fireworks in the world, except for the officers and soldiers stationed in the barracks on duty, the other sergeants have removed their heavy armor, gathered together in groups of three or four, gorging on food, talking nonsense from all over the world, with rough voices from time to time It caused bursts of laughter.

Many of these soldiers smelled of blood, some had wounds on their bodies, and some had the bloody aura accumulated from killing the enemy all the year round, but none of these could reduce their agitated emotions. The years of fighting made them used to seeing life. With death, the comrades who were fighting the enemy side by side at one moment may fall forever in the next moment, so they know how to enjoy the present.

The night breeze brought a bit of coolness from the distant mountains, and the candles in a large tent were flickering and crackling. In front of the desk was a middle-aged man in a navy blue dark-patterned robe with the same color double-breasted waistcoat. Staring at the map on the table, he frowned and thought deeply. He was the commander of the expeditionary army, General Erlente of Xi'an. He was the former governor of Huguang. At that time, the look of frowning in deep thought made the big tent low and depressing.

Just at this time, the guard Selen came in, knelt on one knee and said, "General, the food and grass delivered by the imperial court have been accepted. Remember to update the latest text version as soon as possible."

"Oh" Erente looked up at Selen, he is from the Eighth Master's faction, but the fourth master is in charge of the food and grass supervision. He is naturally worried about the grain and grass sent by the escort officer... He even hopes that he can get it from this grain and grass Find some questions, look at Selen and ask: "How?"

"The humble staff have checked carefully, whether it is food, military uniforms or weapons, there is nothing wrong with it." Selen has been with Erente for nearly ten years, so he naturally knows what Erente means, but there is nothing wrong with the food and grass , even compared to previous years, the food and grass they received was better and sufficient, and the weapons were tougher and sharper. Therefore, after several battles, the soldiers in the army were very grateful to Prince Yong, who supervised the food and grass... You know, a good weapon on the battlefield The weapon is very important, which greatly reduces the casualties of our own side, "General, along with the food and grass this time, there is also a large amount of knife wound medicine sent by Prince Yong, among which the finished medicine powder for hemostasis and pain relief is the most, and the humble officer has sent People have tried it, and the effect is very good." Speaking of this, Se Leng's face could not contain joy, even though he knew that his general's position was the opposite of Prince Yong's... he couldn't help admiring Yin's actions for.

Hearing this, a strange color flashed in Erente's eyes, Prince Yong?Knowing that Erente is a member of the Eighth Master, not only did he never restrain him in terms of food and grass, he even raised enough food and grass, elite weapons, and gifted medicine for knife wounds. Isn't he afraid that his military exploits will make the Eighth Master's reputation far surpass him? ?Or is he trying to win over him through these means?It's a pity that he, Erente, had been greatly favored by the Eighth Master, so it was impossible to switch to his command.

Erente sighed secretly, leaned on the back of the chair... rubbed his temples, "Is there anything unusual about Master Fourteen recently?"

"The Fourteenth Lord is still the same as usual. If there is no war... except for occasionally patrolling the barracks, he will stay in his big tent. When there is a war, he will wear a battle armor and personally supervise the battle on the battlefield."

"Get back!" Erente waved his hand at Selen, then closed his eyes and meditated. He really didn't understand what this master meant. He has never had any contact with the soldiers in the battalion in private... It seems that he is really just here to supervise the army... But he always feels that there is something wrong with this master, every time he sees this master... He has a feeling of trembling all over, but he observes It's been so long... Combined with the information he got, this master is obviously just a prince who has been pampered and raised. Although he is good at riding and shooting, but in his opinion, it is just an embroidered pillow, which is not useful, so how could it make him feel palpitations? Woolen cloth?Once or twice, it might be a hallucination, but every time he gets close to the Fourteenth Master, the hairs on his body will tremble, and his back will be unconsciously dripping with cold sweat.

No

Erente, who had struggled for a long time and still had no clue, could only shake his head and smile wryly, and wrote down the current battle situation, the situation in the army, and Yinzhen's recent situation on the note to Kangxi, and sent it to the capital in eight hundred miles, and then sent it to the capital again. I wrote a secret letter to Yin, writing down the specific situation of the grain, grass, weapons and medicinal materials that Yin escorted, the progress of the war and my doubts about some abnormalities of Yin Zhen, and wrote them down one by one in detail. To Yin.

The starry sky on the plateau is particularly beautiful, the vast sky seems to be dotted with countless broken diamonds, shining brightly, as if you can pick the stars all over the sky, countless fine silver brilliance is projected on the green grass fluttering in the wind, quiet and beautiful.

If it weren't for the clearly visible trample marks and bloodstains on the grass, it would be hard to imagine that fighting and killing took place here during the day.

Yinzhen, no, it's Heifeng, just standing quietly on the open grass, gazing in the direction of the capital, with a strong unresolved affection in her bewitching pupils, and evil charm in her thin lips His smile reveals a certain confidence and a touch of madness.

It was a long time before he reluctantly retracted his gaze, scanning the wandering souls in the sky, with impatience and dissatisfaction on his face, the impatience was because his majestic young master of the Nether clan had fallen to such a state that he needed to rely on the souls of these ordinary people to restore his cultivation, What is dissatisfied is that there are too few of these souls, but in order not to startle the snake and let the king find him, he has no choice but to resist his bloodthirsty impulse and rely on collecting war dead souls to meet his needs. You can return to Beijing.

Heifeng chooses a place at random, sits cross-legged, and then forms a black mist that is visible to the naked eye around Heifeng as the center, as if being torn apart by a pair of invisible hands, the wandering souls around fly to Heifeng one after another, and the black mist grows more and more as time goes by. Thick, and finally formed a big black cocoon to wrap the black phoenix.

This place is tens of miles away from the military camp, not to mention that there may be wild wolves at night, this place can be said to be inaccessible at this time, even the military regulations of the military camp do not allow soldiers to leave the military camp at night, so Heifeng is not worried about being discovered at all. Even if someone finds out, then just stay. Although he doesn't want to take the initiative to kill people, he will not be polite to those who come to his door.

At the same time, according to Yinzhen's order, he quietly hid outside Yinzhen's tent, and the two secret guards who watched Yinzhen's every move all the time did not know that the object they were watching was no longer there. The sky above where the black phoenix was located, with doubts in their eyes, the two of them looked at each other with a tacit understanding, and then one of them quickly flew in that direction, while the other hidden guard hid again.
