Peony Overlord [Rebirth]

Xing Yanhong saw that Chu Xinle was fast asleep before leaving, Lin Hao was left by him in Jiuyuan for emergency needs, Chi Xiao had slept enough, A Fei followed Chi Xiao, and it was still dark when they came back through the grain and horse road At dawn, the smell of gunpowder smoke mixed with firecrackers permeates the entire Central Plains. The new year has arrived, and spring has begun, but Jiuyuan, when everything is recovering, still looks sluggish.

Xing Yanhong wanted to come back quietly, but he saw a figure standing in the dark night, he merged with the Chiyan Mountain behind him, and in Xing Yanhong's eyes, his originally tall body was unusually hunched. Once I realized that my father was really old.

Seeing someone approaching, Xing Yanping walked up, didn't look at Xing Yanhong, but turned to stroke Chi Xiao's head, stroked his frozen hair, and said, "It's been a long time since I raced with Hong'er."

Xing Yanhong pulled the rein, his fingers stiffened when he heard this, and said, "Yes, the last time was three years ago."

"Come on, let Dad see if Hong'er's equestrian skills have improved." Xing Yanping raised his finger to the Tongtian Tower in the southeast, and there is a stone tablet under it, which is the logo of Tongtian Tower: "Let's see who will go first Go to Tongtian Tower!"

After Xing Yanping finished speaking, he raised his hand and whistled, Chi Yan heard the sound and came galloping. Xing Yanping immediately got on his horse, and the movement was done in one go, and he rushed out in front of Xing Yanhong. When Xing Yanhong reacted, Xing Yanping had already rushed away , Xing Yanhong immediately returned to his senses and got on his horse, chasing after Xing Yanping.

Not long after, the distance was shortened again. Xing Yanping was in front, and Xing Yanhong followed closely behind. The two eagles in Jiuyuan were chasing and soaring. The eagle spread its wings and wanted to soar into the sky. Different ambitions, his desire to win was all written on his face, the reins in his hands were squeezed tightly, Xing Yanhong pinched the horse's belly fiercely, Chi Xiao took a sudden step with his head up to the sky and roaring.

When approaching the stele, Xing Yanhong surpassed Xing Yanping. His explosive power was much higher than that of Xing Yanping, not just explosive power. Due to inertia, Chi Xiao did not stop the moment he touched the stele, but he clasped it tightly. Clinging to the stele, he jumped off Chi Xiao's back, turned over and fell on the barren grass.

He lay on his back and looked at the starry sky, panting heavily regardless of the pain in his back. It had been a long time since he had such a hearty horse race. At this moment, Xing Yanhong's bound heart opened. Ling Yun's ambition is slowly being wiped out, and it is slowly growing again. This is the relaxation under the tension.

Xing Yanping jumped off the horse, sat down next to Xing Yanhong, looked up at the vast starry sky, and breathed out a long breath: "Your mother loved watching the stars before."

After Xing Yanhong heard this, his memory of his mother was too scarce, even close to zero. When his mother gave birth to him, she left before the full moon. He hated his mother for being so cruel for a long time. And for a long time hated himself for not being born at all.

The three children of the Xing family have their own concerns. To put it bluntly, Xing Yanping is a martial artist. He is no more delicate than his wife, and cannot bear the balance of the scale. Xing Qingzhang's misunderstanding of himself began after his wife died, and he But he couldn't explain a word, so that his eldest son didn't contact him now.

Although Xing Lingjun is as good at fighting as a man, she is a woman after all, with the delicate thoughts unique to a daughter's family, so she resolutely shoulders the burden of maintaining Jiuyuan. Turn around and fight on the battlefield.

As for the knot between himself and Hong'er, Xing Yanping knew that he had to untie it by himself.

"I've never looked down on your elder brother, Hong'er. The three of you are my pride, a gift from your mother, and her most sincere blessing for staying in Jiuyuan."

Xing Yanhong kept clenching his hand under his head, and he heard a completely different state of mind from Xing Yanping's words. He thought it was helpless for his father to drive his elder brother away, but now he knew that it was a deliberate act. Of.

"Zhang'er shouldn't stick to Jiuyuan, what he wants to do is better things, and you, Hong'er, sent you to Runan..." The Eagle King of Jiuyuan was invincible in all battles , at this moment, facing his youngest son, he actually had the belief that he wanted to back down, and the words he wanted to say became hot.

"Father... I know all about it." Xing Yanhong, who was originally silent, took Xing Yanping's words: "At that time, I would not be able to..."

"You get angry with Hong'er too easily, and you have a flamboyant and arrogant personality. I'm old, and we have to be fair to your second sister. Women shouldn't fight on the battlefield. They want to be husband and wife." Xing Yanping spoke cryptically, but It made Xing Yanhong's nose sore.

"We were born in Jiuyuan and grew up on the vast grasslands. We are the most free eagles. No matter men, women, or children, we are all made of iron bones exposed to the scorching sun. Tongtian Tower and Chiyan Mountain have given us the best defense. , the barbarians can't attack from the east, we can't waste God's reward, we want to keep the Central Plains peaceful." Xing Yanping's arms were sore, he simply stopped exerting himself, and lay down side by side with Xing Yanhong for a long time Only then said: "It is indeed Dad's idea to let you transport food."

Xing Yanhong nodded, but he didn't ask the purpose of doing this, and Xing Yanping didn't answer either. They looked up at the starry sky tacitly, and kept silent for a moment.

"That Chu Xinle..." Xing Yanping felt the relaxed nerves of the youngest son beside him tense up again.

"What's wrong?" Xing Yanhong asked.

It's not that Xing Yanping has never been to Qinchuan. He checked after the Chu family was wiped out. No one survived in the whole house. Burned to death, he calculated, the number is just right, so if the person Hong'er likes is Chu Xinle, who will be burned to death in the Chu Mansion?If it was Chu Xinle who was burned to death in the Chu Mansion, then who is this person who calls himself Chu Xinle?

"Can you tell that he is the Great Ghost King three years ago?" Xing Yanping asked.

Xing Yanhong thought for a long time, and said: "His behavior is exactly the same as three years ago, and Yi An will definitely not lie to me, Dad, what's the matter?" Xing Yanhong noticed something was wrong, and asked again.

Xing Yanping sat up and said, "He—"

"It's not good!!! Master!! The barbarians attacked our headquarters in the west, and the east where the general is located was also attacked. Hurry up, we can't hold it any longer!"

Hearing this, Xing Yanping immediately got up, turned on Chi Yan and rushed back, Xing Yanhong pulled Chi Xiao over and followed Xing Yanping.

The armor on Xing Yanping's body was put on again before it was cold. Xing Yanhong was behind him, just about to open his mouth to go with him, but he stopped him: "You guard the city! Xingchang and I will go!"

Xing Lingjun went back to the headquarters after having dinner with Xing Yanping. He thought that the first day of the new year would be safe no matter what, but who knew that Hu Ge would attack when everyone's defenses were lowered!

Xing Yanhong wanted to say a few more words to follow, but Xing Yanping was firm. He didn't give Xing Yanhong the slightest hesitation, and led the Xing Ying army out of the city on horseback. Lin Hao followed Xing Yanhong, and he could clearly see his master standing upright. Xing Yanhong was nervous.

The frontline was fighting in full swing, but their defenders did not let go of their hearts. They waited anxiously, the sky gradually dawned, and the first snow of the new year fell. It was heavy and urgent, and it didn't take long.

When the city gate opened, Xing Yanhong immediately got up and looked over, but saw Xing Lingjun returning on horseback intact, with a group of Xing Yingjun behind him.

"You..." Xing Yanhong's right eyelid twitched a few times for no reason, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Xing Lingjun ask, "Where's daddy?"

Xing Yanhong said: "Someone came to report that you were ambushed in the east, and my father led people to help."

Xing Yanhong's eyes were blurred by heavy snow, but he could still clearly see Xing Lingjun's frown and his increasingly icy face: "I received news that Dad couldn't defend in the west, but when I rushed over, I didn't see Dad figure."

Her words seemed to have finally found the reason for the twitching eyelids, Xing Yanhong immediately got on the horse, and Xing Lingjun also noticed it, but she didn't stop her, only to see Xing Yanhong rode Juechen out of the city gate and headed east.

It has been nearly three hours since the father left, and none of the soldiers rushed back to report. What does this mean, Xing Yanhong dare not think about it, heavy snow rubbed into Xing Yanhong's eyes, melted again, mixed with hot water, slid down Xing Yanhong's morning There is no sense of face.

He didn't wear much, and he didn't wear any armor, but the heavy snow blocked the road, and the road became muddy and slippery. He used to pull hundreds of stones, grain and grass, and never thought it was so long. When he arrived, he had already covered himself. He had no time to care about the layer of snow, he was already frozen by the scene in front of him, and he didn't even know how he got off the horse.

The command battalion to the east was turned into ruins, heavy snow covered the corpses all over the place, except for the still misty gunpowder smoke, it seemed peaceful and quiet as if nothing had happened here.

Xing Yanhong stooped through the thick snow, those were all Xing Yingjun, they were drowned by the heavy snow mixed with blood, and none of them survived.Xing Yanhong didn't believe it, he couldn't feel his fingers, and turned over the corpses to check.

No... no... still no!

For the first time, the eagle cub soaring and galloping on Jiuyuan felt helpless. His tears could not be controlled and fell from his eyes. Every face was familiar, but none of them were the faces Xing Yanhong wanted to see. The coldness was almost cold. Devouring his bones, his lips turned white, and his thick black eyebrows were stained with snow, as if his head had turned white in an instant.

He pawed from the back to the front, despair and pain appeared on his ferocious face, the white snow covered his path, he knelt in the snow, thousands of miles of silence, he still pawed without resignation, Xing Ling who came from behind saw Wang immediately went up to pull him up.

Xing Yanhong shook off her hand, still leaning over in the snow.

"Xing Yanhong!" Xing Lingjun shouted hoarsely, her eyes were red, but she didn't cry: "Get up, get up!"

"Let me go!" Xing Yanhong's roar pierced the sky, he pushed aside the thick snow with trembling arms, and turned over a person again, only to find that it was Xingchang.

Xingchang was not seriously injured, he was beaten unconscious by Xing Yanhong and buried in the body, but when he woke up, he was already buried in heavy snow, and he had no strength to move.

"Where's my father?" Xing Yanhong asked him with wide eyes regardless of his injury.

Seeing that the person opened his mouth and made no sound, he yelled again: "Where is my father!!!"

Xingchang swallowed her saliva, looked at Xing Lingjun, her eyes turned red for a moment, and said weakly: "We are in an ambush, Hut has a poison in his hand like smoke, after lighting it, we will be powerless, fundamental, fundamental Can't resist, master, master him, he was taken away by Huth."

Xing Yanhong let go of Xingchang and stood up, blew the whistle to call Chi Xiao over and was about to get on the horse, but was stopped by Xing Lingjun: "Calm down, this is obviously a trap."

"How can I calm down! Dad is in their hands!" Xing Yanhong shouted.

Xingchang fell into the snow, unable to wipe away the tears on his face, he burst into tears, and the mature and patient commander who followed Xing Lingjun could only cry at this moment.

"I saw... I saw... Huth wiped the commander's neck before taking him away."
