One of the Eight Parts of Tianlong, Yuechen Fate

Pingxia City.

Ye Nian waited in the city for two days, and finally fell asleep in the afternoon of the third day due to exhaustion, but in the end, he was deeply concerned, tossing and turning in a shallow sleep, as if dreaming of many messy things, just when he was feeling uncomfortable, Suddenly someone pinched the tip of his nose lightly, smelled a familiar and refreshing breath, and opened his eyes immediately.

It was already dark at this time, candles were lit in the room, and in the warm yellow light, I saw a person standing by the bed, with a smile on his handsome face, and said, "I didn't want to wake you up, but I saw that you were not sleeping well." , what kind of nightmare is it?"

"Brother Xiao?" Ye Nian was surprised and delighted, and rushed towards him.

Xiao Feng quickly reached out to catch her, patted her on the back twice, seeing that she was unwilling to let go, he hugged her and sat down beside the bed, and said softly, "I've worried you for the past few days."

After he calmed down, Ye Nian backed away a little, and looked up to see that his black eyes were still bright and energetic, but his face was slightly tired. He couldn't help feeling distressed, and asked, "Brother Xiao, have you guys just come back?"

Xiao Feng: "I came back in the afternoon, but my whole body was stained with blood, I went to wash first before I came to see you."

Ye Nian's heart became tense, and she hurried to check on him, "What kind of injury did you get?"

"I'm fine." Xiao Feng smiled, "General Lin is fine, he's drinking and chatting with other people now, you can go and see him later."

Ye Nian felt relieved when he heard the words, and asked after a while, "Did the Xixia people really set a trap in that valley?"

"Not bad." Xiao Feng nodded.When he and Guo Cheng dealt with the Xia soldiers in the valley, Guo Cheng had already sent someone back to report the news, so there was not much time wasted. When Lin Yun arrived at Tiandu Mountain with two thousand cavalry, it was still three or four hours before dawn, and he was still asleep. The Xia army in the middle of the battle did not expect the Song army to kill them suddenly. Some soldiers even lost their lives before putting on their trousers and outer shirts.

In fact, as early as a year ago, the Song army had the intention to seize Tiandu Mountain, and there were rumors in the military camp.After escaping, Quan Guanqing hated Song Jun very much, so he exaggerated the incident, regarded it as important military intelligence and Xixia people, and conspired to set a trap halfway.Xixia people were dubious, and they were unwilling to use a lot of manpower for this. Quan Guanqing took advantage of the situation and took the beggar gang members into coolies, which was exactly a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

At the beginning, the Xia army was still on guard, but later saw that the Song army's troops crossed the border and only dared to attack shallowly, so they relaxed their vigilance, and withdrew most of the guard soldiers in the valley, and the Tiandushan main camp was even more unsuspecting.The resistance organized by Weiming Abu, the commander of the Sixth Route Army of Xixia, and Ledubu, the sister of the supervisor, was completely defeated in less than half an hour, and they had to be captured without a fight. Three thousand soldiers were killed and captured. occupied.It has to be said that although Zhang Yi was the main fighting faction in the Song court, he was not a brave and foolish man.If he hadn't acted cautiously and made many plans, I'm afraid he had already fallen into Xia Jun's trap, and he was not a person who didn't know how to adapt, otherwise there would be no victory in this surprise attack.

Xiao Feng and Ye Nian talked about the general situation, Ye Nian didn't care about the Song Xia battle, just thought that he and Lin Yun were fine.Leaning quietly in his arms for a while, listening to his steady heartbeat, feeling nothing to worry about, she raised her head and said to him, "Go and have a drink with them first, and I'll come out after packing up."

Seeing her docile appearance, Xiao Feng smiled slightly, "Then I'll wait for you outside."

Several piles of bonfires were lit in the open area of ​​the city, and the soldiers of the Song Dynasty sat in groups, drinking and eating meat, chatting and laughing happily.Ye Nian saw Xiao Feng drinking and talking with someone from a distance, so he didn't go there, and in a blink of an eye saw Lin Yun waving at her, paused, and changed direction.

The soldiers who were sitting next to Lin Yun saw her approaching and walked away one after another.Lin Yun beckoned her to sit down and said with a smile, "Third Sister, I would like to thank you all this time."

Ye Nian: "Second brother Lin, you don't need to thank me, this matter happened because of me."

Lin Yun had already heard Xiao Feng talk about Quan Guanqing, and secretly thought that people in the Jianghu really couldn't look down on him, so he asked, "Then Xiao Feng is your friend? I don't look like ordinary people in the Jianghu, I don't know what identity it is origin?"

Ye Nian looked at him and smiled faintly, "What do you want him to do?"

"This man is a rare talent." Lin Yun said this not because of Xiao Feng's great martial arts, but because he did not rely too much on his own abilities in group battles, he acted with the overall situation in mind and was flexible and sharp. The timing of the attack is very precise, and it is really a good talent for leading the army in battle.He smiled and said, "If you are familiar with him, you might as well try to persuade him to join the Northwest Army. Mr. Zhang cherishes talents. With his ability, his achievements in the future will definitely be better than mine."

Ye Nian: "Why don't you go talk to him yourself?"

"He came to you for help just because he didn't want to promise me." Lin Yun turned to look at her, with a sly smile in his long and narrow eyes, "If you can persuade him, I will deduct the annual membership fee of your chamber of commerce in the future. How about half a percent?"

Ye Nian blinked, and looked at him innocently, "Do I look like someone who betrayed his friends for profit?"

"Third sister's words are wrong." Lin Yun shook his head and said, "It's not a bad thing for him to join our army. How can we talk about the word 'betrayal'? I think he is straightforward and gets along well with his brothers in the army. I like it here, but I don’t know why I should say no.”

Ye Nian subconsciously looked at Xiao Feng when he heard the words, seeing him chatting and drinking with the people around him, he was very happy.Mei Feng subconsciously retracted, lowered his eyes slightly, and then smiled again, "Second brother Lin, I forgot to tell you something, I have given up the position of president of the Xiaofeng Chamber of Commerce, and my replacement is me." There is no problem with the person who is personally chosen, and all the rules of the meeting will remain the same, and there will be no impact."

Lin Yun: "Are you going to Dali?"

Ye Nian was startled, and smiled lightly, "So you have already met Lin Bo."

"I went home before the Battle of Pingxia City, and Dad...seemed not to be so angry anymore." Lin Yun sighed softly, "He is old, but I can't always serve him by his side."

Ye Nian once asked Lin Bo that he didn't want to go with her to Dali, so she naturally knew the reason. Seeing Lin Yun blamed herself, she said, "I've already made arrangements for Lin Bo, you don't need to worry too much." After a short pause, he asked again, "Second Brother Lin, do you intend to stay in the army forever?"

Lin Yun didn't answer, but just looked away.

Ye Nian: "Second brother Lin, I know that since the current emperor took office, he has restarted the new law and fought against Xia. There is a style of a wise king in the country's government and military affairs, but his tactics are tough and he is too eager for success. Intense, to some extent caused turmoil in the court..."

"Third Sister, you are not from the imperial court, so don't discuss state affairs indiscriminately!" Lin Yun interrupted her, thinking that she was always prudent and cautious, how could she say such words, and also thought that what she said had nothing to do with Zhang? The adults had the same concerns, secretly startled, and asked, "Why did you tell me this?"

"I just thought that you should be more careful in the future when you are doing things in the court." Ye Nian felt helpless, and what she really wanted to say was more than that.Song Zhezong was quite a good emperor, but unfortunately his life was short. A few years later, his eleventh younger brother, who is now King Duan, will be a complete fool when he ascends the throne. At that time, the Northwest Imperial Army and even the entire Song Dynasty will be ruined by him. hands.

Lin Yun didn't know what was going on in her heart, so she didn't care much, "I seldom walk in court, and most of the time I only fight on this border, it doesn't matter much."

"If..." Ye Nian said, "If there are any changes in the court in the future, or if you are tired of staying in the army, why not come to Dali with Lin Bo to find me. Although Dali is small, it has many good places. I think You will like it."

Lin Yun has no blood relationship with her, but has always regarded her as a family member. Although he felt a little strange when he heard the words, he didn't think too much about it. Knowing that she was thinking of herself, there was some warmth in his heart, and he smiled, "I remember gone."

Guo Cheng and Xiao Feng were drinking, suddenly took out his sword and handed it in front of Xiao Feng, "Brother Xiao, do you recognize this sword?" The two chatted over the wine, they were already brothers.

Xiao Feng saw that it was just an ordinary green steel sword, but when he looked closely, he found some small cracks on the blade, as if he had cut something extremely hard, so he shook his head, "I don't have any impression, what's wrong?"

Guo Cheng laughed, "You used this sword to kill many Xixia cavalry five years ago, have you forgotten?"

Hearing what he said, Xiao Feng remembered something.Xixia Iron Harrier's men and horses are all equipped with fine iron protective gear, covering all the vital parts of the body, except that the active part of the neck cannot be fixed, so there is a gap to find, and the sword is thin and sharp, which is the most convenient weapon for killing Iron Harrier Seeking to be killed by one blow and achieve a deterrent effect, he borrowed a Song Jun's sword nearby, but he didn't remember that the person who borrowed the sword was Guo Cheng.Thinking about it being predestined, he couldn't help laughing, "Brother Guo, you have kept this sword all this time, you don't mean you want to seek compensation from me?"

"Brother was joking." Guo Cheng laughed, putting the sword back into its sheath.Five years ago he admired Xiao Feng's skill very much, this time fighting with him, he found that he not only has courage but also strategy, he admired him even more.Fill his bowl with wine and ask, "Brother Xiao, what do you think of our Northwest Army?"

"I heard that the Northwest Army is good at fighting, and it really lives up to its name." Xiao Feng: "It's just..."

"It's just that the military discipline is a bit poor, isn't it?" Guo Cheng took the words and smiled helplessly. The Northwest Army is notorious for its poor military discipline, and this is not the first time he has heard this.

During this battle, Xiao Feng found that the military discipline of the Northwest Army was not even as strict as that of the previous beggar gangs. He just thought that this army has been stationed in the border area where the folk customs are tough for a long time. When talking about this question, I didn't expect Guo Cheng to be so honest and bring it up by himself.He smiled and said, "I want to say that the Western Army is hardy and good at fighting, but it is more suitable for field warfare in the mountains, and it is slightly inferior to fighting in the plains. It would be great if we can train a special unit as strong as the Xixia iron kite."

"Brother Xiao is right." Guo Cheng sighed. Among the three routes of Hebei, Northwest, and Central Forbidden Army, the Northwest Forbidden Army is the most powerful, but it is still helpless against the iron kite cavalry in the Western Xia Dynasty. It can only retreat. The Song Dynasty really It is necessary to cultivate a strong army for plain combat, but this is not easy.Just about to talk to Xiao Feng again, but saw the other party glanced in a certain direction, suddenly put down the wine bowl and said, "I'm sorry Brother Guo, I have something to leave, you should drink first."

Guo Cheng glanced over and saw a person, it was the woman who came with Xiao Feng, he understood, "Brother Xiao, please do as you please."

Ye Nian heard footsteps, and when she looked up, Xiao Feng had already sat down beside her.

"Why are you sitting here alone?"

"I was talking to Second Brother Lin earlier, so he was called away." Ye Nian knew that he could not persuade Lin Yun to leave the barracks, and when he thought about the situation in the Northern Song Dynasty, he felt a little depressed. Seeing Xiao Feng made him feel better, " Brother Xiao, the matter here is over, let's leave early tomorrow morning, shall we?"

Xiao Feng thought it would be inconvenient for her to stay in the barracks as a woman, so he replied, "Okay." Seeing that her face was a little pale, he stretched out his hand to touch her cold cheek, and said worriedly, "It's hard for you to rush around all day long when you are in better health." Can you live?"

"I'm fine." Ye Nian smiled lightly, and talked to him for a while, and a soldier came over to say that Mr. Zhang is welcome.

The two followed the messengers into the hall, and saw that there was a banquet in the hall, with some military officers sitting on both sides, but the first seat in the middle was empty.Lin Yun came over with a smile and said, "Master Zhang is busy with military affairs, so he can't get away for the time being, tell me to treat you well, please sit down." When he turned around and went back, he whispered two words in Xiao Feng's ear: "Be careful."
