[Sword Three] Why do you want to cut milk if you can output?

Outside Yanmen Pass, there is heavy snow all year round.

The soldiers' blood mixed with the pure white snow, forming the most dazzling traces.

In the fourth year of Tianbao, in order to get rid of Yan Wangqing and Xue Zhi, the guards of the Yanmen Pass who were thorns in their eyes, An Lushan deliberately provoked a border war by killing two birds with one stone. The army made great contributions, and even swung the butcher knife at his comrades.

When Yanhe led his troops back to Yanmen Pass, what he saw was the scene of An's army betraying Cangyun's army.

"Shuai Xue!"

Before he had time to think about it, when he saw Xue Zhi being attacked, Yan He flew over with a light effort, and his heavy shield stood on the ground, blocking the knife for Xue Zhi.

Seeing him coming, Xue Zhi did not relax his vigilance. They first wiped out the rebel army, and then faced An Lushan's elite soldiers. They were already exhausted by now, but Xue Zhi still ordered Yan Wangqing to lead the remaining brothers to retreat, and stayed by himself Later, he even made a plan that if he died, Yan Wangqing would take over his position.

But I didn't expect that Yanhe, who led the troops to help the soldiers of Mobei Tiance, would come back at this critical moment.

Because of the arrival of Yanhe, Xue Zhi's pressure suddenly decreased, and he even had time to think about how to break the situation.

"Yanhe! Behind!" He didn't have time to say more, and immediately reminded the other party.

Yanhe didn't turn his head when he heard the voice, but picked up his shield knife and blocked it backwards. With the harsh sound of weapons touching the border, An Jun's sneak attack failed.

"Who are they?" Yanhe frowned when he saw how these people were dressed, thinking of what Wang Zhongsi and he guessed when he was in Mobei, "An Lushan's private army?!"

"good."

Xue Zhi coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, and frowned fiercely, "I thought he was helping us fight against the rebel army, but I didn't expect An Lushan to have such a wicked heart—"

He eased his breath, and then added, or explained, "I asked Wang Qing to take the brothers back to Yanmen Pass. I thought...but you came back."

"Yes, Xue Shuai, I'm back." Yanhe's complexion was not good, first he had to separate from his sister, and then when he returned to Cangyun, this kind of thing happened again, "Although there are not many people, I will definitely not let An The thief succeeded!"

Without Yanhe's special instructions, Cang Yunjun, who came back with him, saw the current scene, even if he didn't say anything, he knew what he needed to do.

An Lushan's private army wants to kill Xue Zhi, that is their enemy!Facing the enemy, you only need to kill the moment!

They organized their teams spontaneously and confronted the An army in various places.

The battle lasted longer than expected, and at the end of the fight, Yanhe couldn't help feeling numb.

Swing the knife, hit it, and then swing the knife again... Yanhe was inevitably injured at a young age, but he still stopped An Jun from further breaking through Yanmen Pass without stopping.

In the end, he couldn't tell whether the blood on his body was his own or that of many Anjun.

It seems that they didn't expect the thousands of people brought back by Yanhe to be so capable of fighting. At the end of the fight, the An army had the intention of retreating, and the battle line gradually stabilized.

"Hold it?" Wiping the blood off his face with the back of his hand, Yanhe's movements finally slowed down.

"They retreated..." Xue Zhi stood a little farther away, squinting his eyes to observe the gradually retreating An Jun.

His injury was much more serious than that of Yanhe, but before he got the result, he still stood with no abnormal appearance, "...hold it!"

"That's good."

Yanhe heaved a sigh of relief after hearing his words.

He moved the hand holding the shield and only belatedly noticed its trembling.Because he finally stopped maintaining a high degree of vigilance, Yanhe suddenly lost control of his opponent, and almost couldn't even hold his weapon.

"...If my sister finds out about this, she must be worried again."

After the battle was over, Yanhe even made a little joke.

"Oh? That righteous sister you always mentioned?" Xue Zhi also smiled.Naturally, he had heard Yanhe mention Chu Qiu, and he even knew that every New Year, she would send Yanhe a letter.

Of course, he also knew that Yanhe asked to lead troops to support Mobei, in order to meet his sister, "I finally met this time? Is Lingjie okay?"

"...she's fine." Yanhe thought of what he saw, and his words couldn't help but be sour, "I wrote a letter to me in a year, and I didn't even come to see me, but I ended up living in Mobei. Very happy."

Although he didn't know how she got to the Valley of the Wicked, and why she ended up in such a chaotic place in Mobei.

"Hahaha." Amused by his tone, Xue Zhi knew what was wrong with him, "But even if you are not together, she still does not forget to think about you."

"I know that too."

Yanhe didn't know that the letters he received were actually very precious, but he still understood how much Chu Qiu cared for him in a letter every year.

Even if there is only one letter, it must be written by her with all her heart.

"only……"

It's just that they used to stay together every day and were inseparable. Now that they know that they are separated and can still live happily together, I suddenly feel a little bit unwilling.

"When the situation stabilizes, you can bring Sister Ling to Yanmen."

"Shuai Xue?"

"The person you trust must be someone who is worth making friends with like you." Xue Zhi laughed a few times, "In that case, there is nothing wrong with coming to my Yanmen."

"Yes." Yanhe was silent for a while, and finally nodded, "My sister must be a woman that Xue Shuai can appreciate."

"That said, it makes me look forward to it."

After the two settled the remaining matters, they finally led their troops to join the retreating Yan Wangqing and others.

But just when they turned around and were about to leave the battlefield, the changes rose sharply.

As soon as the sound of arrow feathers piercing the air appeared, Yanhe subconsciously set off.

"Shuai Xue!"

Yanhe didn't have time to think, and when he caught sight of the hidden weapon in the corner of his eye, he pushed Xue Zhi away from him, and ran into the hidden weapon that was attacking Xue Zhi head-on.

bang - ding -

Hidden weapon—an arrow feather pierced through the armor and hit a place very close to the heart, causing Yanhe to stagger, and couldn't help but hold down the arrow to take a few steps back.

"Yanhe!?" Xue Zhi, who was pushed away, reacted quickly. He stood still and glanced around, and finally saw An Jun holding a bow and arrow not far away, "Damn——"

He just wanted to deal with that An Jun, but found that the other party fell to the ground without opening his eyes again - that An Jun used his last breath to attack Xue Zhi, but because of Yanhe's failure, he died with hatred.

"Don't move around, there are doctors in the army, you will be fine."

Xue Zhi didn't care too much, seeing that although Yanhe's consciousness was a little fuzzy, he was still subconsciously controlling the arrow in his chest. , take him to the physician as soon as possible.

"The whole army! Speed ​​up!"

Yanhe didn't know what happened afterwards, he only felt that the wind and snow around him became colder.

I hope my sister won't be too angry when she knows about this matter... Yanhe couldn't help but think so with a wry smile before his consciousness became blurred.

He didn't regret blocking Xue Zhi's arrow.

If Chu Qiu is the elder sister he wants to cherish, then Xue Zhi is his respected teacher.

Whether it is protection or training.Chu Qiu taught him self-defense skills, and Xue Zhi taught him how to behave, because of the teachings of these two people, he is what he is now.

They are all important people in his life who he protects with all his heart.

God still favors him.

When Yanhe regained consciousness, he felt a faint pain in his chest.

It was because of the pain that he clearly realized that he was still alive.

"Lieutenant Yan, are you awake?" The military doctor next to him held the disinfectant and showed a relieved expression when he saw him wake up.Seeming to know what he wanted to ask, the military doctor told him without him asking, "You have been in a coma for four days, Xue Shuai and the others are very worried."

"I've troubled you." Yanhe wanted to get up, but the pain in his chest made him give up, "...my injury?"

"Deputy Captain Yan is lucky." Hearing his question, the military doctor couldn't help feeling a little bit sad. "The arrow missed a bit, so it wouldn't be fatal immediately. Let Deputy Captain Yan wait until Xue Shuai brings you back."

"Really." Yanhe bared his teeth, and sat up straight while holding back the pain, "This is indeed luck."

"Isn't it?" The military doctor seemed to feel that these were not enough, and fetched another brocade from the side, "But Lieutenant Yan, your real luck is still this."

"This is?"

"This is the jade you carried with you." The military doctor took out the jade in the kit, and said with a regretful but thankful expression, "This is also a top-notch product, no worse than the ones in the palace, just broken like this It's a pity...but because of this jade, the arrow didn't penetrate too deep."

"Fortunately, it blocked it, and the process of taking out the arrow for you went very smoothly, and it also allowed Lieutenant Yan to escape from danger as soon as possible."

"Ah..." Yanhe took the broken jade, not knowing what expression he was showing now, "That's right, I should thank it."

This was a gift Chu Qiu gave him in Daoxiang Village back then, and it was also an ornament that he kept hanging around his neck as a talisman.

Jade is fragile, so he would take it off and put it in his bag every time he went to the battlefield.Only this time, because he saw the flames of war from a distance, he didn't have time to take it off, so he casually moved the jade to the pocket close to his chest, and the next moment he took the weapon to support Xue Zhi.

Unexpectedly, because of this casual action, his life was saved.

"Really, when I didn't know it, I saved my life again."

"what did you say?"

"No, nothing."

Yanhe didn't answer the military doctor's question, but suddenly looked at Yu in a daze.

His name was originally engraved on the jade, but because it was broken, his name was also divided into two pieces.

Yanhe felt a little sorry, but what Yu Chuqiu gave him was broken now.

But he felt happy again, happy with the things she gave, and unintentionally protected himself again.

A month later, Yanhe's injury recovered, and after he recovered, he knew Xue Zhi's decision.

"Separate the Cangyun army from the court?" Yanhe heard Xue Zhi's plan, and didn't have much opinion, "You should discuss this matter with Vice-General Yan."

"I've already discussed it with her." Xue Zhi murmured, "My Majesty, I will recommend Wang Qing to take over on the grounds that I am injured and unable to be the commander-in-chief."

"Then what do you mean by leaving the court?"

"Nowadays, the imperial court is complicated and complicated. Our purpose of guarding Yanmen should not be changed because of those treacherous ministers." Xue Zhi said, as if seeing the confusion on Yanhe's face, he explained a few words, "Yes, You haven't healed from your injuries before, so no one told you about this... When you supported Mobei, did you see Li Zhen and General Li?"

"Naturally." He also knew that the relationship between him and his sister was complicated.

Yanhe swallowed the latter sentence, which was a bit sour, "Could it be, what happened to him?"

"He was put in a dungeon by the right minister on the charge of 'colluding with the rebellious army'."

"——What?!" Yanhe didn't expect such a thing to happen. Although he didn't have much contact with Li Zhen, whether he was appreciated by Wang Zhongsi or Chu Qiu, he knew that Li Zhen would never do it. Such a thing happened, "General Li Zhen would not do this, there is something strange about this matter."

"Many people know that this matter is strange, but this does not affect the opinion of the Holy Majesty." Xue Zhi sighed, "Wang Qing came to me after knowing about this matter, and said that he wanted to 'borrow' the surname of his eldest grandson...that was her I naturally agree to her surname. She wants to use the name of her eldest grandson, Wangqing, to establish the Jianghu sect 'Cangyun', and from now on, there will be no 'Xuanjia Cangyun Army'."

"But the Holy One, Xue Shuai is preparing to..."

"Your Majesty, you don't do everything yourself." Xue Zhi showed a pointed gaze, "Besides, it's no secret that Your Majesty is partial to Anlu Mountain. In order to appease the Cangyun Army, and also for the sake of someone from the imperial court who set foot in the management of the rivers and lakes." The Holy Majesty will not refuse an opportunity."

"Once Cangyun is established, if something happens in the future, it will no longer be a 'military order'. Whether you accept it or not...there will be more room for it."

"So that's how it is." Yanhe understood, "Everything is under Xue Shuai's order."

After all, he joined Cang Yun at the beginning just to have the power to protect Chu Qiu, whether he is loyal to the emperor or not, it doesn't make any difference to him.

Not long after, Yan Wangqing—who should be called Changsun Wangqing now—gathered all the Cangyun brothers to come to Yanmen Pass.

"We have experienced betrayal and the death of our brothers."

As the deputy general of the broken camp as a woman, Changsun Wangqing is naturally not a weak person, not to mention that her popularity in the Cangyun army is only slightly lower than that of Xue Zhi.

At this moment, when she stood on the city gate and said the oath in a serious tone, it made the Cang Yun brothers below look serious.

"Now, we have retreated outside our majestic pass, and we have dishonored the army flag. Here, I set up the Cangyun Army, which was born to destroy the enemy. When the Cangyun banner sweeps across, the light that penetrates the dark sky will eventually Come!" The face covered by Tianluo's face is magnificent, but Changsun Wangqing doesn't care about this skin.

She planted the Cangyun flag on the city gate, and looked at the brothers below, "All those who betray Cangyun and the unrighteous will die. And my light eyebrow knife is still only in front of the army."

"You, are you willing to accompany me, to live and die, to take back the glory that is due to our warriors?"

After she finished speaking every word, Yanhe could only hear her own voice mixed with the voices of her brothers.

They have only one answer.

"I (we) do!"

"A country with treacherous officials may not really be worthy of loyalty." Changsun Wangqing finally understood this after experiencing this betrayal.At this moment, she also vibrated and told her brothers, "The Xuanjia Cangyun army has been buried in dust and their pay has been cut off. The brothers decided to clear up the wrongs of the dead soldiers by themselves and kill their enemies with their own hands."

"At this moment, we reunite under the banner of the battle, and make the Cangyun blood oath to live up to the heroic souls of the brothers who died in battle."

When Cangyun's banner swept across, those who betrayed Cangyun must die!

From then on, there is no Xuanjia Cangyun Army anymore, only the sect Cangyun who takes revenge on the Spike Army and the unjust!

The battle a month ago made Cang Yun almost lose their commander in chief, and Feng Yebei, who was a military adviser, lost his eyesight.

"Even if Xue Shuai didn't die because of this, and you don't care about your blindness, I still can't let it go." Changsun Wangqing looked sideways at Feng Yebei who was standing beside her, "I can't remember how many people died that day. Brother...just remember the karmic fire and blood that was exchanged for the sacrifices of the soldiers."

"Xue Shuai was rescued by Deputy Lieutenant Yan. Although I was blind, my heart became clearer." Feng Yebei was blind, but the atmosphere around him was even calmer. "The Xuanjia Cangyun Army belonging to the emperor has disappeared. Now Standing here is Cang Yun, established to protect the brothers."

He was silent for a while, as if he was listening to the reactions of the soldiers at the city gate, "Forget about feelings, Cang Yun will be fine."

"Yes," Changsun Wangqing took a deep breath, the blood in his mind lingering, "it will be fine."

As they said, Cang Yun gradually got on the right track after leaving the imperial court, and half a year later, Cang Yun also had a place in the arena that belonged to Cang Yun.

"Lieutenant Yan, your letter!"

The messenger handed the letter in his hand to Yanhe, and then hurriedly delivered the letter to other soldiers.

Yanhe opened the letter, and found that the paper of this letter was not the same as before... should it be more ordinary?Or did he not have the sense of disobedience he had when he received the letter?

But such little doubts did not make Yanhe think too much, he opened the letter directly, and immediately saw Chu Qiu's concern for him as always.

"I have an idea about Lieutenant General Li, but I still need to think about it."

In addition to the routine care, Chu Qiu also talked about the imprisoned Li Zhen.

Yanhe suddenly thought that Li Zhen had been imprisoned for half a year, but no one dared to release him casually, and even because of layers of guards, no one visited Li Zhen these months.

——He originally wanted to ask Li Zhen about Chu Qiu's situation.

After reading the letter quickly, Yanhe carefully put it away, and put it in the special place for Chuqiu's letters.

In the blink of an eye, it was another half a year, and Yanhe heard that many major events had happened in the court during the past six months, but they had little to do with him, so he didn't pay too much attention until he heard the news that Li Zhen was acquitted.

Yanhe replied after Chu Qiu sent the letter, but this time he did not receive the expected reply.Maybe it was just overthinking, Yanhe suddenly had a premonition that he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

"If you're not at ease, go and see for yourself." Xue Zhi, who was recovering from his wounds in name but actually retired to the second line to assist his eldest grandson Wangqing, saw Yanhe's disturbed appearance, so he offered advice.

"It just so happens that the New Year is approaching, and you will hand in the report to the capital this year."

"Thank you Shuai Xue for your kindness." Yanhe did not refuse.

So he went to Beijing alone for the first time, and after meeting the emperor's envoys and handing in his annual report, Yanhe went to Tiance Mansion.

When he saw Li Zhen again, he found that the other person's appearance was not good—of course, he couldn't say it was bad either.

"...Lieutenant Yan." Li Zhen was surprised when he saw him, but he still pursed his lips and said hello, and asked the soldiers under him to form a team to practice first.

Yanhe noticed that his surprise was mixed with hidden pain and guilt.He didn't know if it was because of his prison life or some other bad reason.

"General Li." Yanhe brushed past his politeness and asked directly, "A year ago, my sister left Mobei with the general and returned to Chang'an. After that, I received a letter from my sister, but for some reason there was no answer." Echo. Although many things happened later...but General, do you know about my sister?"

When he heard that he had received Chu Qiu's letter, Li Zhen's expression was a little surprised and disbelieving, but when Yanhe finished speaking, Li Zhen fell silent again.

He was silent for a long time, but Yanhe didn't urge him, probably because he suddenly knew something from his attitude.

"...Does Lieutenant Yan know about life and death Gu?"

When Li Zhen said this, his face paled a little, and his voice unconsciously lowered, as if he had imprisoned some emotion in his throat.

Life and death Gu?Yanhe knows.

After knowing that Chu Qiu was born in Miaojiang, Yanhe ruthlessly made up the news about Miaojiang and the Five Poison Sect.

He naturally knew about the special existence of life and death Gu.

"...What does General Li mean?"

Yanhe guessed something, but he didn't want to confirm it.

"When we returned to Chang'an, Tiance's army was attacked by the rebel army, and most of them were killed or injured." Li Zhen turned his head away, not looking at Yanhe's expression, "And I was also seriously injured in that attack—the heart was pierced by an arrow. "

boom--

It was the sound of Yanhe's shield knife hitting the ground.

The knife was only less than one centimeter away from Li Zhen, and a terrifying murderous aura poured out from Yanhe's body, even the shield, which was not a murder weapon, was tinged with sharpness.

"To shut up."

Yanhe didn't need him to go on, he already understood what Li Zhen meant.

Chu Qiu planted life and death Gu on him, and during that attack, Chu Qiu's life and death Gu transferred Li Zhen's serious injuries to himself, so Li Zhen survived, and Chu Qiu...

"I..." Li Zhen showed guilt and seemed to want to say something, but his voice was stopped by Yanhe.

"I said, shut up!"

Yan He closed his eyes, and the hand holding the knife was trembling—it was not fear, but that he was restraining himself with all his strength at the moment, not to end the person in front of him with a single blow.

——This is the person his sister wants to save.

Heavy breathing.

Yanhe didn't know what expression he was going to show now, nor how he should face Li Zhen, but in the end he withdrew his knife and turned his back.

"roll."

He didn't dare to turn his head, because he was afraid that seeing Li Zhen, he would be unable to restrain himself from venting his anger.

The people behind hesitated, but did not leave.

"If Lieutenant Yan is not happy, I, Li Zhen, order you to take it. It doesn't matter."

"I'll let you go!"

Yanhe couldn't restrain his words at this moment. He couldn't face Li Zhen with his original attitude at all. Not being able to attack him was his greatest restraint.

Yanhe thought of Li Zhen's state when he first saw him, and the anger in his heart just subsided, but he became even more angry.

"You were saved by my sister," he said without looking back, "put away your lost dog."

"—Don't make me feel that it's an insult to my sister for saving you!"

This is the general my sister will save even if it takes her own life.

Yanhe repeated in his heart.

So, so—

He will save Li Zhen's life, not to let her wish be in vain, not to let Li Zhen die alive.

"Don't let me see you again." Li Zhen didn't want to leave, but Yanhe couldn't wait, "I don't guarantee that my knife will cut off your head the next time I see you!"

After saying these words, he strode away from Tiance Mansion, the expression on his face made the Tiance Army guarding the gate shudder.

After Yanhe left Tiance Mansion, the expression on his face eased, but his heart became even more confused.

This is not the first time Yanhe knows what "powerlessness" is, but it is the first time that Yanhe understands what it means to die.

As if in order to get rid of this emotion, Yanhe didn't even sit in the carriage, and walked back to Cangyun with light work.

"Yanhe? Why do you—"

After returning to Yanmen Pass, the cold wind gave Yanhe a sense of sobriety, but the pain in his heart could not be relieved.

He heard Xue Zhi's concerned voice, but he couldn't answer.

Yanhe locked himself in the door for a whole week.

It wasn't until the new year came and the letter signed by Chu Qiu was handed to him through the crack of the door that he recovered numbly and unfolded the letter.

It is a familiar letter paper with a special texture.

"I heard that Cang Yun set up his own family, until now I have no time to ask..."

"... How is Xiaoyan recently? I am fine now, but it is not convenient to disclose the exact location. Let me tell Xiaoyan when the time is right? Don't worry. By the way, recently..."

"...The above, your dear sister."

Yanhe finished watching it intermittently, knowing that she had... but still finished it with the mentality of being lucky, or deceiving himself.

He carefully folded the letter back and put it with the other letters.

"Sister, don't worry about me."

He replied to Chao Xin, then patted his face and stepped out of the room.

Several generals who had befriended him stood outside the door, and they all showed expressions of relief when they saw him come out.

"Yanhe, are you okay?"

Are you okay?

"Well, I'm fine."

Yanhe replied.

Since my sister expected so much, he must have a good life.

The author has something to say:

The two main stalks of Cang Yun are the stalk of "amulet for help" and the stalk of "sending letters regularly after death to pretend not to die".Don't worry about the specific feasibility and logic, anyway, it's just for writing!

In the year since Li Zhen was arrested, the heroine didn't send Yanhe a letter about pigeon props, why?Because the one-time quota for this year has already been used (I will not say where it is used for the time being), the letter he received saying "help Li Zhen" was written and sent by the heroine in the normal process (that is, the heroine came back from vacation. ), but Yanhe didn’t believe it (female lead: I’m helpless too).

The first part said that the phoenix Gu/death triggers resurrection, and the target's favorability is at 80%, and the return time is the time of death. Here, the heroine returned to the time when Li Zhen was shot to death by an arrow.

[small theater]

Chu Qiu: I'm back!Let me tell you, I'm fine and can even continue to surf!

Yanhe: Needless to say, I know, my sister just didn’t want me to worry, so I wrote the letter, right?Otherwise, why did I write back without answering.

Li Zhen: (guilt face) Sorry.

Chu Qiu: ... No, that's purely because I didn't receive it, because it's not a system item and I'm not at the location you sent it to!

(I received it in the second year and sent a letter back)

Yanhe: (received the letter in the second year) Huh, my sister really knows me, and even knows what I will say, so in order to prevent me from revealing, she also hired a ghostwriter?

Li Zhen: (more guilty) Ms. Chu has worked so hard, you... oh (sad).

Chu Qiu: No... Didn't I say in the letter that I'm not dead?Li Zhen's wound was transferred to me and I didn't die.

Yanhe: ...Forget it, I'll just pretend that my sister is still alive. Since my sister has arranged it like this, I can't waste her painstaking efforts.

Chu Qiu: What about me? ? ?
