Ten days after the imperial decree was issued, the sky over the capital city was covered with red clouds and colorful mist. The gloomy sky looked like a piece of gray silk, which almost fell down completely and hung on the imperial city.An experienced old farmer stood in the field and looked at the sky, and said, "It's probably going to snow heavily."

But in the south of the city, there are mighty soldiers and horses lined up neatly at the gate of the city. At a glance, there are trembling red tassels everywhere.The horses raised their heads and neighed, and all the soldiers were heroic and full of murderous intent, and the sharp weapons in their hands faintly reflected a cold light, which was even more chilling than today's weather.

The leading young general was wearing a black armor and a dark cloak was waving behind him. Against the howling wind, he clasped his fists at the crowd: "Thank you all for seeing me off here. Liu is really grateful."

All the ministers knew that the person in front of him was the newly promoted Lord Protector, and because of his father's meritorious service in the past, he was quite sympathetic in front of Emperor Shenghe.Now that he is going to lead his troops to march south, who would be unwilling to come?After hearing this question, they all clapped their hands together and said with a smile: "My lord is going here to calm down the South China Sea and protect our land. We just wait for the good news to come!"

However, they are just talking about it, but they are really not optimistic about it in their hearts.Although Liu Hanyan was newly promoted as Duke Huguo and belonged to the four kings and nine princes, in the final analysis, he was just a civil servant.A civil servant, even if he is full of vigor and blood, goes to the battlefield where there is no mercy at all, he will definitely fall on the battlefield!

How can a body of flesh and blood withstand a sword piercing the heart?

What's more, even the king of Nan'an County, who has always been strong and good at fighting, and has been stationed in the South China Sea all year round, has been captured...

All the ministers were shaking in their hearts, but now that the holy will has been issued, it is hard for them to say anything.Moreover, both the First Prince and the Fourth Prince came to see the Duke Hugo off. Both of them had expressions of reluctance on their faces, and everyone had to put on a reluctant face. Some even braved the cold wind and wiped their hands with their sleeves. He wiped his moist eye sockets.

The eldest prince took the lead to take a step forward, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is going here, and you will cherish yourself. When you return in triumph someday, you will be alone to toast and drink with your Majesty to celebrate your great achievements together!"

These words meant that they were a little too intimate, and the civil servants on the side couldn't help but look sideways, secretly speculating in their hearts what the relationship between the Duke Protector and the First Prince was, and they turned all kinds of schemes in their hearts without mentioning it.

The general cupped his hands, but he just said in a somewhat indifferent manner: "Thank you, Your Highness."

He didn't even have the slightest hint of wanting to get close, and the eldest prince's expression became a little uneasy. He stood awkwardly on the spot and coughed lightly, straightening his loose sleeves.

The fourth prince just took a few steps forward, looked at Liu Hanyan's current appearance, sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "Since you have made up your mind...you must come back safely with him. "

His voice was so low that none of the officials heard it. They only saw that the frost on the face of the icy Lord Protector had melted a little, and there was a sincere smile on his lips. He nodded and said, "Thank you four Your Highness."

"Just wait," the fourth prince moved his lips slightly, barely audible, "Gu will definitely let you come back here with him in an open and honest way!"

Liu Hanyan laughed loudly, but quickly got on his horse.Since he practiced martial arts, he has become more and more heroic. Now he is sitting on the horse, raised the silver sword around his waist, looked around, and said loudly: "Let's go!" The purpose of Nanhai is to defend our land and protect our people! My land in Daqing must not be occupied by others; my people in Daqing must not be bullied in the slightest! If the Japanese pirates are not destroyed, I will definitely not return them!"

All the soldiers were more and more excited by these words, the wildness in the blood would overflow through this thin layer of skin, almost wishing they could go to battle to kill the enemy now, and give those Japanese pirates a good look!

They all raised their swords in unison, facing the sky with the handles, and said loudly: "If you don't break the Japanese pirates, you will definitely not return them!"

This wave of sound rolled out layer by layer, and finally merged into a soul-stirring river. It was deafening and deafening, and the sound touched people's hearts.There was a soft-hearted little lady who came to see him off. Hearing this, and looking at the group of soldiers who were about to leave their homes and never knew whether they were going to die or not, they couldn't hold back the tears in their eyelashes.

Only then did Liu Hanyan put away his sword, and formally bid farewell to everyone. With a flick of his whip, he was about to leave.

"Wait, who is the second master of the Zhang family?" Someone in the crowd asked suspiciously.

The status of the second master of the Zhang family in the hearts of the people is not much different from that of the Wenqu stars in the sky. When they heard that the second master of the Zhang family was here, everyone couldn't help showing joy on their faces, and hurriedly tiptoed to look.

"Where, where?"

They probed their heads for a long time, and finally saw a young man in Tsing Yi in a light fur suit approaching.His face was very handsome, and his back was straight all the time. At a glance, he looked like a strong bamboo growing from the ground.The clothes fluttered, and the indescribable elegance made the hearts of all the young daughters-in-law who came to see him off jumped wildly, and their minds were a little messy.

It's just that although he was born well, it seemed that he had been distracted by something, and he was faintly disheartened.All the ministers had seen the scene of him whipping the prince in the court. At first sight of his current appearance, they couldn't help exchanging some meaningful glances secretly.

The eldest prince clenched his teeth for an instant, and seeing Zhang Yiran walking forward, he could not help but snort softly.The attendants beside him were instantly alert, staring closely at Mr. Zhang, always on guard against him pulling out a whip from his sleeve.

However, the purpose of Zhang Family's second master's trip was not him, but went straight to the Duke Protector who was still on his horse.He raised his head and looked at Liu Hanyan who was motionless for a while, his eyes were full of complicated and difficult emotions. After a while, Fang said in a low voice: "I'll leave it to you."

"Naturally," Duke Protector replied with a cold face, "Only me."

No one else could understand the witty fight between these two people.Seeing that it was going to be late, he hurriedly urged: "Master Guo, it's time to set off."

Only then did Liu Hanyan lift the reins, his black hair fluttered from the back of his head with the rustling of the cloak, he cupped his hands at the crowd and said, "There will be a time later!"

Tens of thousands of troops were galloping away with him all the way, and when he looked into the distance, he gradually couldn't distinguish the traces of the actions of the troops and horses, and could only faintly see the red tassels shaking everywhere.

On this day, Daqing ushered in the youngest and most promising general in history, while Baoyu, who was trapped along the South China Sea, was about to wait for the person who left the most colorful traces in his life.

----------

It was raining cats and dogs in the South China Sea.

When Baoyu left the camp, there were still 500 people around him; now there are only 60 people left.These five or sixty people were all drenched in their robes, no matter how tough they were, they gradually showed signs of fatigue, and even the blood stains all over their bodies were diluted by the heavy rain. Slightly reddish.

Baoyu was right. After that, the Japanese pirates obviously had the idea of ​​eradicating the weeds—no, maybe there were not only the Japanese pirates, but also the people sent by colleagues who followed the holy will. Come down and sweep this area several times in succession.

No matter how vigilant the people were, they couldn't help the other party's search, but in a few days, there were already several battles, and many people were lost.On the one hand, Li Zhen and the others were thinking about General Feng's kindness in knowing him, and on the other hand, they really appreciated Baoyu's character. After fighting side by side for so many days, they gradually developed some feelings.Therefore, when he was in a dangerous situation, everyone raised their knives to protect him without hesitation, and stood in front of him in unison: "Jia Huben, hurry up!"

The men and horses in front of him were all aiming at the not strong figures in the team, Baoyu knew that the other party was going to end her, how could he make them die for her?So he gritted his teeth, not only did not retreat at all, but swished the two steel knives, and rushed straight at one of the men in black, piercing his throat with one knife.

After several hard fights, he finally had a breather.They also searched for many fishermen by the sea these days, and the more they asked, the more terrified they became - in recent years, they have rarely seen Japanese pirates, only the imperial boats drove back a few times at sea from time to time. A ship of unknown origin, but in fact, except for this year, no Japanese pirates have ever landed.

Baoyu memorized all these scattered information in his heart, and when he found a temporary shelter, he squatted on the ground and wrote and drew with a branch for half a day.

Seeing his action, Li Zhen couldn't help leaning over curiously: "Jia Huben, what is this painting about?"

"The map of the South China Sea." Baoyu did not lift his head, but focused on pinching the branches with his white fingers, adding another line on the ground.

Li Zhen was shocked: "Hu Ben has the ability to draw pictures?"

It's no wonder he asked this question. In ancient times, for drawing, you need to walk step by step and measure it yourself before you can draw the approximate direction.These people are often highly valued talents, especially when using soldiers to fight wars, they are very precious and indispensable.What's more, the terrain of the South China Sea is very complicated, and there are many states and counties. Even with a map, you may not be able to see it clearly.

But now, Baoyu has only learned a little from the second master of the Zhang family, and it was an accident to be able to point out the small path that day, but now, can he actually silence the entire South China Sea map? !

Li Zhen opened his mouth wide, and looked at Baoyu with a little more admiration for a moment: "Miss Xiaohua has great brains!"

The branch under Baoyu's hand paused, and looked back at him in surprise: "...what did you call me?"

When the soldiers resting not far away heard this question, they all raised their hearts and silently pricked up their ears.

Only then did Li Zhen suddenly realize that he was overwhelmed by Baoyu's sudden attack, and for a moment he spoke out what they usually call Baoyu, and immediately stretched out his hand to pat his mouth, so that Baoyu would ask again. He had to force a smile and said, "I mean, Lord Xiaohua..."

Baoyu's eyes were even more surprised, and he said seriously: "There is no one surnamed Hua here."

"Hu Ben doesn't know something," Li Zhen closed his eyes, and simply started to make up things, "I have admired Hua Tuo since I was a child. I just mentioned the map. For some reason, I suddenly remembered Hua Tuo's battles in the North and South, The appearance of strategizing, so I couldn't help but praise—"

Baoyu: "...Hua Tuo seems to be a miracle doctor?"

When did you change your career to be a general?

"Is it...?" Li Zhen scratched his head embarrassingly, and said with a dry smile, "It's almost the same, almost, haha."

It's much worse!All the soldiers who were secretly listening to the movement could not help but raise their foreheads.

Fortunately, Baoyu was completely focused on the picture he had drawn, and he didn't have the heart to cling to Li Zhen's mistakes.He kept a close eye on the invasion route of the Japanese pirates, and then looked at the place where the army was defeated. He was defeated by the Japanese pirates in a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack...

The more he looked at it, the more strange he felt, and when he thought about what he had seen and heard these days, he suddenly stood up as if enlightened.

Li Zhen asked in surprise, "Jia Huben?"

Baoyu was trembling all over, and he couldn't tell whether it was anger or something more.He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "This is a trap."

All the soldiers were puzzled.

"The king of Nan'an County used the people of the South China Sea as a cover..." Baoyu's eyes were blazing with fire, "What kind of Japanese pirates invaded, it was just a way of saying that he ordered the imperial court to send reinforcements! If you are defeated and captured, when the imperial army arrives, you will swallow them all, so as to strengthen your own forces and support yourself!"

It was only later that Nan'an County King himself might have recruited the hungry wolves, and the conditions with the Japanese pirates had not been negotiated, so the fake capture turned into a real capture.He just counterattacked the Japanese pirates symbolically before, how did he know that he was really a hostage in the hands of the other party?

What's the next step for self-respect?

It is the emperor!

So before they set off from the camp, the Japanese pirate camp was already ready, waiting for them to enter the net; so along the way, apart from the Japanese pirates and those ordered by the emperor, many local officials sent people to intercept and kill them——

What for?

It's just because they are afraid of being spotted by them, and they want to strike first!

Going deeper, maybe there is also the idea of ​​​​exchanging the imperial army for the king of Nan'an County, but it is a pity that Baoyu only brought 500 people, which is not enough to fill the gaps between the hungry wolf's teeth.The local officials had no choice but to choose a road to Hei, desperately planning to have Baoyu buried here.

Baoyu finally saw through it, and immediately became furious, wishing to question the king of Nan'an County, what he really thought of the people in this world - but after he got angry, he felt disheartened for a while.Now that he can't protect himself, even if he sees through this situation, what's the use?

Emperor Shenghe would not believe it, and all the ministers would not believe it. The king of Nan'an might bite back, saying that Baoyu himself had the heart of disobedience and tried to plant him.His status is already so embarrassing, and now he is facing three parties to kill him, it is impossible to survive ten days, even if it is because of the injustice of the people in the South China Sea, so what?

Today, for the first time, Baoyu knows how powerless he is.The mournful cries of the father in the village were still in his ears. He even promised to avenge the other party, but he had already fallen into such a situation, precarious, and even surviving has become a luxury.

He felt desperate for the first time, staring blankly at the dark sky and pouring rain outside, and asked softly, "When will the rain stop?"

Li Zhen remained silent, obviously already thinking of the previous layer.He silently sat down beside Baoyu, and together they looked out of the vision blurred by the heavy rain.

The raindrops were pounding, and the clothes on their bodies were wet against the skin. Everyone was starving and cold, shivering under the eaves of this dilapidated temple.Baoyu unconsciously looked at the rain curtain in the distance, and suddenly saw a few bright colors gradually approaching in the dark world.

It was the beating red tassel that was approaching.

The enemy has already chased here?Li Zhen was startled, and stood up suddenly: "Hurry up and hide for a while!"

But Baoyu still stared into the distance with his eyes wide open, and murmured in disbelief for a while: "No, that's not the flag of the Japanese pirates or the soldiers..."

The flag was fluttering in the rain, surrounded by red auspicious cloud patterns, and inside the big silver characters flying like dragons and phoenixes formed the character "Willow".

The soldiers and horses were getting closer and closer amidst the sound of rain.The leading general looked very unfamiliar, with black hair sticking wetly to the side of his face, but his whole body remained undiminished. When the horse came, every step of the horse's hoof made people tremble.

When they were not far away, the young general got off his horse and walked towards them step by step through the water stains everywhere.

Li Zhen was startled by the opponent's momentum, and turned his head to ask Baoyu if he knew who the opponent was.But he turned his head, only to find that Mrs. Xiao Hua's eyes were faintly glowing, and said in a low voice, "Han Yan?"

The general walked a little closer, picked up Baoyu from the ground, and hugged Baoyu fiercely into his arms.

"Fortunately... you are fine."

Li Zhen: ...

What's the situation!

Soldiers:  …

Wait, let go of our little flower!

The author has something to say: Soldiers: Wait, wait, who allowed you to get close to Mrs. Xiao Hua?We haven't hugged yet! ! !

Han Yan: Oh, then I guess you will never have a chance in your life.
