"Dusk is approaching, General. The night is cold and windy. You should go back." The guard in black light armor put a cloak on the commander-in-chief who was standing in the wind, and then stood shoulder to shoulder with him, looking at the setting sun in the distance in silence.

"The setting sun, look at the color of the horizon, it's really beautiful." The general who took the guard's cloak looked at the clouds above the distant mountains dyed red by the setting sun, red as fire, "like the rouge applied by the ladies in Zhongting."

"General, do you want to go home?" The guard felt that he was not clear enough and could not hear the general's intention of suddenly mentioning rouge while looking at the sunset. He just thought that the general had eaten too much dust in this bitter and cold place and wanted to return to the rich and prosperous Zhongzhou to enjoy life. "Rouge is beautiful, but it can't compare to the general's color."

What he meant was that, although the ladies in Zhongting were beautiful, they were not as heroic as his generals.

"Aha." The general smiled heartily, turned around and patted the guard's shoulder. The blood-red skirt of his military uniform rustled in the cold wind at the frontier. The bright red color was truly a hundred times brighter than the setting sun in the sky. "The setting sun is like fire, celebrating our victory of surviving another day. Do you think I am talking about romance with you?"

"It's bitterly cold on the border, and we don't know when the war in Dongshan will end. Why don't we enjoy the romance while we are still alive? Do we have to wait until we die to talk about love?" The guard turned his head and looked at the general in front of him seriously. His tone of voice was not like that of a subordinate, but more like that of an ordinary man confessing to the person he loves. "General, is it true or not?"

"That makes sense." The general smiled. She waved her hand like a tolerant elder, and gently touched the young guard's head with her armored hand. "It's a pity that I'm married, and my eldest son is older than you. I'm afraid I'll let you down."

She was the commander-in-chief of the Dongshan battlefield, so naturally she would not care about a man younger than her son. As for his admiration for her, Yu Zhao believed in the affection and the sincerity of a young man, but as she said, she was married and destined to not be able to respond to his feelings.

But at the same time, she would never act too concerned or coy, and after today, they still get along the same as before.

"I have no intention of offending or overstepping my bounds. What I have expressed today is only a wish for a satisfactory outcome, General. You do not need to take it to heart." The guard retreated and became the respectful subordinate again. He already knew that Yu Zhao's marriage was just one-sided love and he did not demand a response.

He had no intention of interfering with Yu Zhao and Ye Yunzhou's childhood friendship. It was just that he didn't know where the feelings came from, and once they were spoken out, they were over. That was all.

"You Rong, you are not an ordinary person who would be trapped by love." Yu Zhao's high bun fluttered in the wind, and the strands of hair on her temples fluttered, adding a touch of tenderness to the female general who defended the entire Rong city with a long sword. But after a moment, it seemed like an illusion. The expression of the female general, who was as brave as a man, was firm, as if she would never retreat and would not fall down.

"I am not trapped by love, it's just that I can't get it." You Rong said calmly. Because he couldn't get it and because he loved her so deeply, he didn't want to force it. He smiled at Yu Zhao with the vigor of a young man and a little bit of youthful sorrow. "There is a tall building where the fragrant clouds are low, but it's a pity that the tall building is not close to the Mulan boat."

"You are a young boy, but you are sentimental." Yu Zhao held the Zhaoyang Sword and casually swung it in a sword flower. The sun was setting in the distance, and the cold evening wind whistled over, making the flags on the city wall flutter. "Go back, drink, chat, and do whatever you want."

Life on the frontier battlefield is always one day less than another.

Let's go back to the story of Lu Zhouxue and Xiao Fengzhuo who were trapped in the secret realm of the sexy ghost. Although the illusion had faded away, the secret realm still stretched outward without an unknown boundary. Xiao Fengzhuo used his spiritual power to relieve some of the pain in Lu Zhouxue's body, then carried the person back on his back and continued to move forward.

Because they originally appeared on the battlefield, although the two were in a mess, Lu Zhouxue was dressed in the clothes of a Westerner, and Xiao Fengzhuo was dressed like a prostitute in a brothel, and his charm was even more exposed.

The two of them looked out of place on a battlefield filled with swords and spears, so they quickly attracted the attention of patrolling monks. They did not look like evil spirits or demons, but their behavior was suspicious. Now was a turbulent time, and based on the principle of better catching someone by mistake than letting them go, the two of them were "invited" to the commander-in-chief's tent in Rong City.

"General, we have captured two suspicious persons." The patrolling monks tied up Xiao Fengzhuo and Lu Zhouxue with the Immortal Binding Rope and sent them to Yu Zhao's tent. At that time, she was discussing the deployment of the formation with her subordinates. When she heard the report from her subordinates, she immediately put down what she was doing and looked at the so-called "suspicious persons."

The moment she looked up, Lu Zhouxue also saw the woman's face clearly. His pupils dilated slightly, and there was a brief moment of surprise on his face. This fleeting expression was keenly captured by Yu Zhao. She also had doubts in her heart, narrowed her eyes, looked at Lu Zhouxue and said, "Do you recognize me?"

Lu Zhouxue lost her composure for only a moment, and he quickly recovered. He shook his head with an indifferent look on his face and said, "I don't recognize her." He just found that she looked very similar to a female priestess in Buzhou Mountain.

"You're lying. You were obviously surprised when you saw me just now." Yu Zhao came out from behind the desk. She was born with Phoenix blood and was heroic and tall. Lu Zhouxue, now a teenager, was much shorter than her. He only reached her chin and looked like a doll in front of her.

"Little thing, tell me the truth. I won't make things difficult for you." Everyone will be more tolerant when seeing beautiful things, and Yu Zhao was the same. She looked at Lu Zhouxue and smiled, then reached out to pinch his white cheeks.

"What does he know as a kid?" Xiao Fengzhuo stepped forward and protected Lu Zhouxue behind him. He smiled at Yu Zhao's seemingly kind but actually sharp eyes and said, "Sister, why don't you ask me? I will tell you everything I know."

"Oh, asking you?" Yu Zhao looked at Xiao Fengzhuo with an inquiring look. The latter looked at her calmly, his attitude very casual.

Yu Zhao was amused as she watched. She raised her hand to signal everyone else in the tent to leave. She reached out and lifted a strand of hair that Xiao Fengzhuo had blown onto her chest. She looked at him with interest and said, "You don't look like someone who does a legitimate business, the way you talk."

"The top pick of Chunfeng Tower, what do you think, sister?" Yu Zhao provoked him with words, but Xiao Fengzhuo accepted it without blushing or beating his heart. He was not ashamed, but proud to be named the top pick. This was not enough, he also wanted to drag Lu Zhouxue to ruin his reputation, "This is my younger brother, he hasn't been listed yet."

Lu Zhouxue: “…”

Yu Zhao pursed her lips, as if she was holding back something. She paused, still trying to explain Xiao Fengzhuo's trick, and said with a stern face: "I don't care whether you are from Chunfeng Tower or some other place, why did you come to the battlefield? Tell me the truth, what do you do?"

"My brother is still young, but he is being sold." Xiao Fengzhuo wiped his tears in a miserable manner, looking like a pitiful man who had no choice but to do something. "I really couldn't bear to see him fall into prostitution, so I took him away, but I didn't know the way, and somehow I ended up here."

Lu Zhouxue: “…” His fists hardened. Even though Xiao Fengzhuo had helped him many times, at this moment he really wanted to beat this unreasonable guy up.
