Suya

The sun is about to rise, the morning is waiting to dry, the sky is full of smoke,

Although it was late spring and early summer at this time, it was still quite cold in the early morning.

The large group of people gathered at the gate of the city, and the mighty dragon stretched along the wide street all the way to the barracks at the North Gate.

Standing by the city gate, Xun Linyue breathed out, and a small cloud of white mist immediately rose in front of his lips.

The city gate opened slowly.

"Prompt jump."

Xun Linyue turned his head when he heard the sound, with a gentle and warm smile on his face: "Master, you are here too."

"Well, I'm here to see you off." Li Xiruo looked at Xun Linyue and sighed softly; "I shouldn't have let you go."

"What are you talking about?" Xun Linyue laughed: "Most of the Fengguo's army is drunk and can't tell the north from the south, let alone go on an expedition, let alone the Xun army is already ready to go, so there is no reason for them not to leave all of a sudden. , and..." He looked at Li Xiruo, and smiled gently and elegantly: "No matter what the reason for Feng Chen to call me, he is right about one thing, I need military merit, whether it is for me or for seeking the country , I need to be famous, instead of being a mediocre child of the royal family."

Li Xiruo looked at him for a while, as if she didn't know what to say.

Xun Linyue patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm not an inexperienced child, I have to worry about you wherever I go."

"The sword has no eyes, and the army of the feudal kingdom is known for its brutality and violence. It is really worrying that you have to face them when you first enter the battlefield."

Xun Linyue laughed a few times: "With you thinking about me so much and worrying about me, how could anything happen to me." He raised his chin: "Don't worry about me, go and see Feng Chen, if you don't go, I will I'm afraid that before I was cut to death by the sword, I would have been burned to death by his anger."

Li Xiruo followed Xun Linyue's gaze and looked behind her.

Not far away, in front of a group of Feng Guo army horses, Feng Chen was standing in front of him holding a red date. Although he was talking to the bearded man, his eyes would glance over from time to time, and he would glance at Li Xi Ruo and Xun Linyue. stop.

Li Xiruo glanced at him and shook his head lightly: "He is too stubborn, he shouldn't have interfered in this matter from the beginning, now he is getting deeper and deeper, and has reached the point where he can't get out, it's really not my choice willing."

"Don't blame him, he is also for you. If your situation is reversed this time, you will probably only do more than him, and you will never do less than him."

Li Xiruo pursed her lips and looked at him with a complicated expression.

Xun Linyue waited for him to speak, but Li Xi Ruo didn't say anything in the end.

He shook his head: "Let's not talk about this anymore. The battlefield is dangerous and unpredictable, you must be careful everywhere, plan everything before you act, and don't act impulsively. Although Feng Chen has a bad temper, he is indeed outstanding in leading the battle , There are many generals around him, you must let go of your prejudices and past grievances, and learn from them with an open mind."

Xun Linyue nodded with a smile.

After Li Xiruo instructed some trivial matters, he bid farewell to Xun Linyue.

In addition to the 3 people who were looking for the country, Feng Chen brought another [-] national troops. At this time, the two armies were ready and stood in front of the city gate.

The bearded man and Mu Linghan were standing in the army, while Yan Nuo and Le Yi were wearing ordinary clothes and standing opposite Feng Chen.

Out of the corner of Feng Chen's eyes, he saw Li Xi Ruo walking towards him, so he stopped talking too much, and patted the shoulders of those two: "You must take good care of the national teacher."

Le Yi: "The final general will definitely do his best."

He stopped at a place ten steps away from Xi Ruo, and when they finished speaking, Feng Chen said goodbye to Yan Nuo and Le Yi, walked over and grabbed him: "Come here."

The two walked into a secluded alley.

Feng Chen looked down at him, stretched out his hand to stroke his hair, then bent down and leaned into Li Xiruo's ear, lowered his voice and said: "I thought about it for a long time last night, there is something I have to tell you, please take care of me." Listen to me. If, I mean 'if', if I fail, you immediately let the army in the city escort you to Jiulan Kingdom for asylum, don't stay in Fengguo, let alone go back to Liguo, you know ?"

Li Xiruo blinked.

Feng Chen: "Did you hear that?"

"I heard that, don't you just let me leave you alone and run away alone."

"..." Feng Chen: "You must do as I tell you, do you understand?"

Li Xiruo looked at him and said nothing.

Feng Chen sighed: "Be obedient."

Li Xiruo squeezed out a few very blunt words: "Got it."

Feng Chen looked at him for a while, then leaned down and put his arms around him: "Li Guo needs you, as long as you are here, everything will turn around, it's for Li Guo's good, you must protect yourself well."

Li Xiruo buried her face in his chest and hugged him silently.

"Xi Ruo, even if you are alone in the end, even if everyone can't understand you, don't be afraid. Since you have chosen this path, just keep going. No matter what happens in the future, don't hesitate, don't be afraid, you know ?"

Li Xiruo grabbed the clothes on his back, her hands gradually tightened.

"I've always been by your side."

The final summoning horn sounded from the city gate, Feng Chen gave Li Xiruo a hug, and then let him go.

Li Xiruo looked up at him, her eyes were already red.

Feng Chen felt unspeakably uncomfortable, he lowered his head and kissed the corner of Li Xi Ruo's eyes, turned around and quickly walked out of the alleyway.

When the horn sounded, Feng Chen rode on the horse with arrogance and awe, and his fine iron armor was icy cold under the first ray of morning light.

The mighty army followed behind him like a dragon and a snake, slowly swimming out of the huge body of Guyu City.

Li Xiruo stood behind the army and watched him until his back was completely covered by the morning light and disappeared from sight.

Further north of Guyu City, there are Yangzhou City, Qianlong City, and Wujiu City in turn, and 270 miles further north, after Hanzhang Pass is Beiling.

All the way to the north, the terrain becomes more and more steep and rugged. After passing Jianming Mountain between Yangzhou City and Qianlong City, there are endless mountains in front of you. The area to the north of Jianming Mountain has only two seasons, summer and winter. Winter begins in October and lasts for six months. It is not until March that there are faint signs of ice melt and snow melting. Rebirth will have to wait until June.

Now it is the end of April, which is the coldest period after the ice and snow have melted. As soon as you leave Yangzhou City, you can already feel the bone-chilling chill before stepping into Qianlong City.

As soon as the Mao hour passed, the temperature began to drop. After the Si hour passed, the sun disappeared completely, the remaining heat on the ground dissipated, and the chill swept in like waves of torrential waves.

You Baiyan was wrapped in a thick wool felt and huddled by the campfire. After a while, he sneezed violently. He sniffed, and pulled the wool blanket tighter with a sad face.

"Here." Feng Xiao handed over a cup of steaming hot water.
