The Book of Troubled Times

  Chapter 288 The General’s White-haired Husband’s Tears

   As soon as Sanniang led the crowd to leave, Yue Hongling came on horseback. I don't know if Sanniang had sensed the sound of horseshoes in the distance in advance, so she walked so well.

  Looking at the figures in the distance, Yue Hongling asked Zhao Changhe in surprise: "Who are those people? Did you kill Ubalu's helper?"

   "Yes." Zhao Changhe secretly thought that Sanniang probably didn't want Yue Hongling to know her strength, so he decided to leave, especially if the identity of Xuanwu really became known all over the world, Sanniang might run away violently.

  So he didn't go to expose her background, but said: "A group of like-minded people, and Han Wubing together."

  Yue Hongling thought about it: "No wonder it's so easy, so there is a large group of people, is it the knight camp?"

   "Hmm." Zhao Changhe asked, "How is your side? Are you not hurt?"

"No real fight." Yue Hongling looked a little serious: "Chili has broken the secret treasure, and his real strength at this moment is definitely more than sixty-six on the list. Next time you see him, don't underestimate the enemy. It's best to leave as soon as you see him. The farther the better. "

  Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "Isn't it because you are by my side?"

  Yue Hongling turned her head to look at him for a while, then suddenly said: "Hey, do you really want to be with me all the time?"

  Zhao Changhe was stunned: "How do you say this, do you still want to separate from me?"

   "I don't want to part with it." Yue Hongling sighed: "But from the perspective of martial arts, whether it is for you or me, it is actually beneficial to separate."

  Zhao Changhe pursed his lips, and he knew this truth in his heart.

  Especially Hong Ling is stronger than herself... If she is always by her side, once dependence is developed, it will be really difficult to make any progress.

  Yue Hongling said: "After this battle, where do you plan to go?"

  Zhao Changhe thought for a while, then asked: "What about you?"

   "I might go to the southwest, go to the Bashan Sword House for a while, and take a look at the Gu incident in Miaojiang. You have to pass through the world."

  It seems that Yue Hongling really has a very clear plan for her own path. Such a wandering heroine rarely stops her heart in one place.

  Strictly speaking, although I got her, it may not be considered "returning my heart", because her heart is in the end of the world.

   I don't know when she will feel tired and want a home.

   But it is obviously not the time yet, after all, her man is not a law-abiding master.

   Everyone has no home, so where can they stay?

In fact, Zhao Changhe felt that he could also go to the southwest. For example, he had always wanted to go to Wushan to find Master Xue. Yue Hongling beat Xue Jiaozhu again, it was very offensive to think about it.

But after thinking about it, beating Master Xue is not the first priority, and I do have more important plans. For example, the next step should be to find the blood ginseng that Jin Foil said, and to lay the foundation of the "Blood Asura Body", then I should go Where should I follow the clues of blood ginseng, there is no reason to decide where to go first, otherwise it will be a waste of time.

  I actually forgot to ask San Niang about this before, she might have a clue because she has a lot of experience.

   In addition, you should try to contact Ji Chengkong to see if there is any tradeable place on the Thief Saint, and learn about ingestion martial arts. It is very important to be able to use the storage ring!

  Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Okay, I have to find something by myself, maybe, you and I are so destined, I found it and found it by your side."

  Yue Hongling found it quite interesting: "The world is so big, if you didn't come to the southwest on purpose, and just looking for things by yourself can coincide with my path, then I..."

  Zhao Changhe blinked: "What?"

  Yue Hongling blushed slightly, bit her lower lip and turned her head: "Then play with you the pose you've always wanted."

  Zhao Changhe laughed: "I have confidence, just wait, my heroine."

  Yue Hongling said angrily, "This is all I can think of now."

  I don’t know who mentioned it first...Zhao Changhe didn’t expose her, and said with a smile: “Let’s go, at least for now, you and I are still riding horses side by side, giving Timur a little shock in the Central Plains.”

   Talking about clamping the belly of the horse, he ran forward like a crow riding on the snow: "See if your red rabbit is stronger, or is my crow stronger?"

  Seeing his free and easy appearance, the entanglement in Yue Hongling's heart dissipated, and he also became free and easy, waving his horsewhip: "Drive!"

  ...

  It was the setting sun again, the sun was setting in the west, the wind was long, and the ground was covered with clear frost.

   Wild geese flew over the mountains, crossed the pass, returned south, and went straight to Hengyang.

  It's winter...

  But the people here have not returned home for an unknown period of time, and they will never return home.

  Huangfu Yongxian stood at the head of the city, looking at the continuous corpses that were closed and closed, he could no longer tell which ones belonged to the enemy and which ones belonged to his own people.

  A section of the city wall has half collapsed, and the soldiers are trying their best to repair it, but Huangfu Yongxian’s experience clearly tells him that it cannot be repaired tonight, and the barbarians will attack this gap tomorrow morning. Whether they can hold it is at hand.

  The soldiers on the left and right were exhausted, and the blood stains on their faces hadn't been washed for an unknown amount of time.

  Not to mention cleaning, everyone doesn't even have much time to sleep.

  Affected by Herley’s death before, the War Lion tribe was in chaos and did not participate in the research. Without this huge clan, Timur’s offensive also slowed down a little. The main point of tension between the two sides was still food.

  Winter is coming soon, and there is not enough food in the grasslands. This is also the biggest factor that prompted them to tackle this problem.

  But Huangfu Yongxian found out feebly that the other party's food was no less than his own.

  There is a shortage of food and salaries here, and there are not enough tens of thousands of troops and horses to support Yanmen after passing through layers.

   On the contrary, a large amount of food came out of the customs from nowhere, and was scattered to the major tribes behind the grassland.

  Huangfu Yongxian sent people to pretend to be horse bandits, intercepted from outside the pass to inside the pass, and directly borrowed this extra money to fill the shortage of his own army and horses, which was barely enough. But it doesn't make sense in the overall situation. If the barbarians have enough food for the army, they won't be able to drag them down, but their own side is about to collapse.

  Because the number of people is not an order of magnitude.

  Hu people can take turns to attack, but I can't take turns to take turns. Everyone is exhausted.

  In the past, the Jianghu people in the Knight Camp rarely participated in the war directly, and they all went to the rear to make troubles. Since the six people were rescued by Zhao Changhe last time, there are very few people running out now, and they all honestly come to the army to help. For example, a strong player like Cui Yuanyong, Situ Xiao, is even more powerful than a hundred. As a team arrow, he is unstoppable. It has boosted a lot of morale, but it is still useless.

  In an offensive and defensive battle of hundreds of thousands of scales, their role is too small.

   Right now, they can still support it with all their strength, but it is said that the war lion tribe has returned to their souls. Once they charge over again, it will be a big deal.

  Daughter often said, turn the other way, this kind of stupid king, this kind of court, what is there to work hard for? Does it matter how many people in our family have died?

  Huangfu Yong first turned his head and looked around. Seeing the old general looking at him, the surrounding soldiers all tried their best to raise their heads and chest up, so that the general could see that they still hadn't lost their fighting spirit.

  Huangfu Yong smiled first.

  Whether it is surrender or rebellion, the soul of this army is gone, and so is the soul of his Huangfu Yongxian.

  It would be better to die.

   "General." Finally a lieutenant general said: "It's late at night, you are old, why don't you go back and rest. Let's keep an eye on the repairs here."

  The old general smiled casually: "My strength is the highest among you, there is no reason for me to go to bed first."

   "General..."

   "Don't worry, as long as I don't die for a day, Yanmen will be there."

  The old general held his helmet in his arms, and the north wind blew, bringing up the general's white hair, like frost on this winter night.

  The soldiers are willing to believe the encouraging words of the old general.

  But he is not yet sixty, and his hair is already full of gray hair. If he is so exhausted, is there any general in Yanmen?

  Unknowingly, the stars and the moon fade away.

  Rooster crowing sounded in Guannei County, the east gradually turned white, and a few rays of morning glow reflected the sky, which was very beautiful.

   "Woo~woo~"

  The horn sounded, the ground trembled slightly, and the overwhelming torrent approached from far away, approaching Guancheng.

  The torrent stretches and stretches as far as the eye can see, and just looking at it from a distance gives people a suffocating pressure.

  Huangfu Yong first looked at the collapsed part of the city wall, and there was basically no point in repairing it.

  ——
