Hongdi

The sun is like a burning fireball, casting a dazzling gold on the dry and cracked earth.The air kept shaking, making it difficult for people to see the distant scenery clearly.The scalding wind blows away the kind cloud and brings the world into madness again.

The high wall built of bricks and stones blocked the cries in the city, but it couldn't stop the hope that sprouted in the hearts of the people of Yiliang.Sitting on the top of the city tower, looking at the city that was surrendering in the distance, the man with silver hair and white clothes looked up to the sky and sighed, tears wet his cheeks inadvertently.

A shadow suddenly covered him from the scorching sun from behind, his big rough hands gently stroked away the heart-wrenching tears, and the visitor gently took him into his arms.

"For me, is it worth it?"

The visitor didn't speak, but hugged him even harder.

"Wansan, they are all brothers who were born and died with you. If you say no, you don't want it?"

The visitor still didn't speak, but his slightly trembling hands and tightly knit eyebrows were all telling his unwillingness and pain at this time.

"I'm a cripple, how can I defeat the lives of [-] soldiers? Are you out of your mind?" Without hesitation, he slapped the visitor hard on the face, and the person remained silent, let alone let go of his embrace. holding his hand.

"Hua Mengze, you are dumb! Talk!"

"I want you to be fine."

"Huh? Hahaha..." Bi Mou turned slightly, and the tears were no longer controlled by the eye sockets, and slipped quietly.

Hua Mengze wiped away her lover's tears again in distress, but found that she couldn't wipe them clean, "Don't, don't cry..., I will lead the soldiers to rescue him. Don't cry..."

"It's obviously a trick, you go, don't you die?"

"Then I have to go too. Brothers are waiting."

"I don't understand. The whole thing is obviously instigated by someone. Why does the emperor insist on sending troops? Not to mention the waste of people and money, people will die."

"Don't worry, I won't die." Hua Mengze hugged her lover in her arms and said softly, "Go back and rest, you can't bask in your wounds here."

"When are you going?"

"A while."

"How many people will you bring?"

"Five thousand."

"so little?"

"And the 3 people they caught."

"What if they rob you first? There are too few."

"It's more convenient to be less. Do you want me to take a large team to attack?"

"But……"

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

"Hey, you must be careful."

"Hmm." Looking at her lover's wrinkled light brown beauty, Hua Mengze smiled contentedly.

"What about the rest of us?"

"Leave it to Ming Yi."

"What? To him? That villain with ulterior motives? He always wanted to replace you, aren't you..."

"I know, but it cannot be denied that he is a handsome talent. I can rest assured that the army will be entrusted to him."

"Can……"

"Yun'er, what I can't let go of the most is you."

"I'm such an adult, I can take care of myself."

"Then promise me, don't run around if you have nothing to do, and wait for the injury to heal before moving around."

"Got it. Mengze, you... don't you regret it?"

"what?"

"Choose me, this useless orphan of the Meng family?"

"Hehe, you are my dream, even if I overturn the whole world for you, I will not hesitate!"

"Dream?" The green eyes were slightly closed, and he couldn't help but think of the forest with the fragrance of banyan flowers, and a flute song that he had come up with on a whim, which broke the tranquility of his life, and also ruined the iron-like fortitude of a young general. "Sorry, I hurt you."

"What?" Hua Mengze asked seriously without hearing her lover's low whisper.

"Nothing. It's just not worth it for you."

"Hehe, what's not worth it? From the first moment I saw you, I knew that I would never be able to live without you. Without you, I would not be able to stand alone in the vortex of power in the imperial city, let alone become a member of the Yue Kingdom. Famous general. You not only helped me realize my childhood dream, but also gave me a warm home. How could it be worthless?"

Looking at Hua Mengze's bright childlike smile, the silver-haired man's blue eyes flashed slightly, and he sighed helplessly, "Hey, a warm home? Hehe, if you didn't choose me, you can now be married to Miss Ming, and you will be full of children and grandchildren; if you didn't choose me , with the power of your Hua family, it is not difficult to become a famous general of the Moon Kingdom. You do the math, is it worth it for a man?"

Not wanting to listen to her lover's self-pitying nagging, Hua Mengze quickly returned to her tent, put her on the couch, and kissed her lover's dry lips.

After a long time, he got up and looked directly at the panting person on the bed, and sighed: "Who would you choose? Ever since I met you, I have seen your shadow in my dreams. When I couldn't see you for a while, I It's going crazy. How could I not choose you?" After a pause, he said seriously: "I don't care what others say or think, the person I Hua Mengze loves is you, for you, I don't want anything. Let those benevolence and morality go to hell, I only want you to be safe, and I only want you to be happy!"

"Hey..." With a soft sigh, Ren'er stretched out his arms helplessly, hooked the iron-like man, and kissed him.

"Report! General, 5000 troops are ready, please give instructions."

The loud report broke the warm and ambiguous atmosphere in the tent in an instant, Hua Mengze raised his head reluctantly, looked at his lover who turned his head away, and said softly: "Wait for me to come back."

After finishing speaking, he picked up his helmet and long sword, and stepped out of the big tent.

Hua Mengze took five thousand elite soldiers and rushed lightly, and arrived at Xiaoyi Valley in less than half a day.The spies got accurate news that Sha Hua, the leader of Hongguo's third army, was digging a sinkhole in Xiaoyi Valley, and the prisoners of the [-] Moon Army were placed in the dense forest.Hua Mengze immediately ordered to save people.

Finally seeing the 3000 soldiers who had been abandoned by him, Hua Mengze couldn't help feeling embarrassed.Without thinking about it, he allocated 2000 people to rescue the tied soldiers according to the original plan, and took [-] people to copy to the rear of Shahua.Guessing that the time was almost up, he waved his hand, and two thousand soldiers rushed into battle.

Sha Hua smiled coldly, loosened his right hand, and the flying hammer of the chain slipped off, and the next moment he hit Hua Mengze's face like a rabbit.Hua Mengze flicked his sword, and the black iron chain was immediately entangled. Sha Hua swung his left hand again, and another flying hammer hit Hua Mengze's temple.Hua Mengze leaned back, dodged the fierce attack, swayed the sword in his hand, cleverly escaped from the control of the chain, and brought the horse and raised the sword to Shahua's chest...

After Hua Mengze's 5000 troops entered Xiaoyi Valley, Juan waited for a while before he led people to quietly seal off the enemy's retreat. He never thought that Hua Mengze only brought so few people.And the few of them ambushed no less than 10 people here. Only Shahua's team, excluding the 3 people who pretended to be prisoners of the Moon Army, there were also [-] soldiers who were responsible for digging pits.Hu Anxin said: "While fighting in this battle, each person can drown Hua Mengze by spitting directly."

Seeing that the fight inside was in full swing, Ju An, Shi Shanrong, Xia Dehai, and Duan Feipeng had a tacit understanding of not moving, but firmly guarding their respective positions.

Soon, Hua Mengze discovered something was wrong.The 2000 elite soldiers he sent out to rescue [-] captives, together with the captives who were supposed to join the battle, all disappeared, and the [-] men under his command died, and those who were arrested were caught in less than a cup of tea. , I was the only one left to fight...

Knowing in his heart that he had been tricked, Hua Mengze made a false move, turned his horse's head angrily, and ran towards the west, where Shi Shanrong was stationed.

Xiaoyi Valley is located in the low mountains in the south of Yigu County. It is surrounded by dense locust tree forests on the east, south and north sides, and only the loose oak forest grows on the west side.Hua Mengze hurried on, trying to escape from Shahua's pursuit, but was frightened into a cold sweat by the sudden sound of thundering gongs and drums.

The tall oak trees cast shadows, and along the hillside, outline a magnificent picture.In the middle of the painting, the sunlight shining through the gaps in the leaves seems to have found a confidant, shining dazzling light on the golden armor.

The general in golden helmet and armor is like a god, riding on a maroon lion colt, and a huge ax that is also golden is quietly leaning on the general's shoulder, but people dare not underestimate its power.

Shi Shanrong looked at Hua Mengze condescendingly, without ridicule, without complacency, but with respect for a courageous general.Behind him, the contiguous soldiers formed an invisible arc, the banners were unfurled, and the sound of killing was loud.

Hua Mengze sighed in frustration, and said to himself: "My life is over!"

He put the sword on his shoulder with some reluctance, he had no choice...

The mountain wind suddenly blew, and the purple flower spikes on the hilt of the sword suddenly danced a gorgeous dance. Hua Mengze looked at the somewhat old sword spikes obsessively, and his heart gradually calmed down. Restraints hit my mind directly: "Hua Mengze, you can't die! Yun'er is still waiting for you, how can you abandon him! Live! For him, everything is worth it!"
