Haiyan

The snow illuminated the entire northern capital city brightly, and black falcons could be clearly seen flapping their wings and circling in mid-air under the darkness of night.

The black eagle flag was flying on the mast by the night wind. When the flames shone, the golden goshawk spread its wings and soared in silence as if alive.

The footsteps of the patrolling warriors shattered the dull silence at the moment, and the moon was miserable like a drained paper sail hanging on the iron-gray sky, revealing a slightly chilling meaning.

In the Golden Tent Palace, the air pressure in the entire hall was suppressed to the lowest level, and everyone's ears were surrounded by their own cautious breathing and strong heartbeat. The soft leather armor outlines a strong and broad line. He looked at the carpet under his feet with his eyelids half down. After a long time, he raised his eyelids and said in a low voice to the people below: "Are you still insisting on your own views?"

Xu Yao shook his fists that were blue due to excessive anger, and said: "I think that if we continue to give in and seek peace, the other party will only make progress. Your Majesty, think twice. When the Emperor Gaozu of the Western Han Dynasty was in power, I just wanted to use the Canglan River as an excuse to send troops to plunder my Yebei. If King Qindahan hadn't used 30 Northland lions to force the Gaozu's soldiers to the Baidi Valley area, my Yebei would have become the boundary of the Western Han Dynasty 200 years ago. Although there were countless casualties in that battle, at least I saved my entire Yebei. Now the Emperor Zhao Che of the Western Han Dynasty is acting insidiously and wants to plant the grassland with the disappearance of his son. Liang Guoying will take 20 central troops to break through Xichuan and enter Mangshan, and if he wants to fight again, it will be too difficult!"

Qin Shuoming followed up and said: "The minister agrees with the words of the Eastern Khan King. The Western Han Dynasty has occupied the Eastern Continent for 700 years. In the early 20 years, it has wiped out the six neighboring counties one after another to expand the status of the world. When the alliance between our grassland and the Western Han Dynasty was revised, I sincerely sent my son to the Hall of Eternal Life, but the Western Han Dynasty had many excuses and finally only sent the sons of ministers. They did not really want to make friends with me Yebei from the beginning. Now that the son disappeared for no reason, we did not pursue Zhao Zhao. Completely lost the future monarch of my grassland, but now they have an army, this is clearly planned long ago, and the subordinates think that whether the son is missing or something else, there is a lot of hidden secrets in it."

The Maharaja gently brushed the soft sheepskin blanket with one hand. When he mentioned the disappearance of his son, he raised his eyebrows intuitively, but quickly covered it up. He glanced at the two Khan Kings With the three generals, his eagle-like eyes flickered, but he didn't speak.

Qin Shuoming buckled the big knife at his waist on the case table heavily, and there was a deafening roar in the silent hall, then he stood up, took a step forward, and said loudly: "My lord, I beg you!" Send troops to fight against the Western Han Dynasty as soon as possible!"

The hall was quiet for a while, and the majesty finally sat up straight, and said slowly: "It's not that I don't want to send troops..."

Qinghe stood up and said, "Majesty, although my army strength in Yebei is much different from that of the Western Han Dynasty, all the men on our grasslands are warriors who can stand up to ten. At the same time, countless battles have been created in which less wins more."

The majesty looked out through the thick sheepskin curtain, suddenly shook his head slowly, and said: "The grassland today is no longer the grand occasion when the two ancestors were alive, you and I should be very clear, if it is true To confront the army of the Western Han Dynasty head-on, I am afraid that the chances of winning are too small... It is not that I am cowardly, but I just don't want those sons to die in vain."

There was a hint of imperceptible weakness and struggle in his tone. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, the eyes that were always bright in the past became very dim at this moment. Xu Yao said: "What the majesty said is reasonable, now Even if you add the troops of the ministers and Yuan Qinghan King, it is only about 15. The central army brought by Liang Guoying has more than [-] soldiers and horses. People are jealous, but my ministers have a word, and I don't know whether to say it or not."

Gu Lingjun, who hadn't spoken all this time, suddenly said: "At this moment when the enemy army is about to move, what else does the Eastern Khan King need to hide?"

Xu Yao said: "Back then, King Tie Erqin personally trained the Tiefutu who dominated Beilu, and later it belonged to the Zhaoyang Department. That Tiefutu was originally a soldier of the Yin family in my grassland. Now that Yebei is in danger, it is better to let people go to Zhaoyang. Yang borrowed [-] soldiers, so..."

"Is the King of the Eastern Khan talking about having fun?" Yuan Qing interrupted him suddenly: "If that Muchen was willing to present the Iron Buddha, how could there be any talk of us revising the alliance with the Western Han Dynasty? Now Liang Guoying leads the army Going north, I'm afraid the first person who wants to see a joke is his Zhaoyang department!"

Xu Yao said: "At the beginning, the wolf king in the north just didn't bother to care about these disputes, but now that soldiers are approaching the city, if there is any danger in Yebei, does King Nanhan think that he, Muchen, is not worried about his own safety? His lips are dead and his teeth are cold. If he has the ability to establish another kingdom in the extreme north, isn't he afraid that he will be the second to be attacked by the Western Han Dynasty after the fall of Yebei?"

Gu Lingjun frowned and said, "The King of the Eastern Khan is right. Your Majesty, there are so many troops in the Western Han Dynasty. We have no absolute chance of winning. But if we can borrow troops from the far north, we can directly fight against the enemy with only one hundred thousand iron pagodas." Liang Guoying contended, but..."

"It's just that it's hard to say whether he is willing to borrow it, isn't it?" The maharaja smiled self-deprecatingly, with a hint of difficulty in his smile: "I didn't think that something that belonged to my Yin family would have to be entrusted in the end." begging in the hands of others..."

He stood up, the moon-white wide robe fluttering slightly under the light, the bronze lion head on the throne was cold and imposing, I saw him suddenly turn around and raised his hand to stroke the sharp fangs gently, said in a low voice : "Go, in the name of my Yin family, I will borrow one hundred thousand soldiers from the king of the northern border. No matter what he asks, I will agree..."

There was silence in the hall for a while, everyone glanced at each other, their brows were furrowed, the majesty turned around and said, "Everyone must think that I am useless...but what can I do? "

He started to walk outside, and said at the last moment before the figure disappeared: "If he doesn't borrow, I will resist the Han army together with you until the last moment."

Yin Ping called back all the last warriors. The blue-black beard on his face looked more mature, and the thick black and blue eyes seemed to be unable to cover up the night. He looked at the distant man after the avalanche again Fenglan Mountain, the boy said in a hoarse voice, "Go back."

The warriors turned the entire grassland upside down for seven or eight days without sleep, but they couldn't find the third prince and the proton. Everyone knew in their hearts that the two might not be able to survive, but they never dared to speak out. , Now that Yin Ping finally gave up on the compromise, everyone couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief and follow the team to the northern capital.

However, as soon as he went back, someone came to report: "Prince, it's not good, Daoist Zhang is missing!"

Tears slapped on the messy floor like broken beads.

Li Su's lips were livid, and his whole body was limp in Chang Sheng's arms, surrounded by the corpses of severed snakes. Sheng brushed his face away, and hurriedly comforted him: "Don't be afraid of Chang Sheng, don't be afraid...I, I'm fine, don't cry, be good, don't be afraid..."

Chang Sheng spat out the black blood bitten by the snake on his ankle one mouthful, a faint dark red oozes out of his eyes urgently, and eye-catching blood hangs on the corner of his mouth.

Even though he had experienced life and death, he didn't take it too seriously, but seeing Li Su lying in his arms now, he felt extremely sad and terrified.

With sharp eyes and hands, Chang Sheng tied his legs tightly with cloth strips to prevent the blood below from rushing upwards, while choking up, he said, "Don't die Li Su, don't die..."

Li Su chuckled lightly, the hand on Chang Sheng's face finally dropped with difficulty, and said, "Chang Sheng, I, I won't die, no, I said I would take you out... ..just, definitely, definitely take you...ahem..."

"Li Su, what's wrong with you!"

The person in his arms suddenly coughed up a pool of black and purple blood, which flowed all over his body along the corner of his mouth. For a while, Chang Sheng became even more flustered. He could only hug him tightly, and said inarticulately: "Woooo... Li Su, hold on, I'll take you out, don't die, I really, really will take you out."

As he spoke, he was about to pick up Li Su and carry him on his back, but the latter held him down and said, "Chang...Chang Sheng, first, don't move...I , I still have something to tell you..."

Chang Sheng cried: "Stop talking, you should rest well, I must let you live."

Li Surao is extremely weak, the blood on his face has faded, but the hand holding Chang Sheng is very tight at this moment: "This poison is very powerful, Chang Sheng...cough cough... I have a secret, I must, I must tell you, otherwise, I am afraid that I will lose my chance... Changsheng, do you know that I like you very much..."

Chang Sheng was almost unable to utter the words of crying, but still nodded desperately.

Li Su smiled and said: "I like it...so, you don't have to be the child who is obedient to get gifts, even if you cheat and lose your temper, no matter how much you bully me, I will prefer you. ...All the good things, I will give you, give you all..."

Changsheng nodded indiscriminately, with blood and tears all over his face, "Stop talking, I know, I know, I like you too... I've never had a friend like you, wait Let's go out, I will never bully you again, Li Su, I will never bully you again..."

Li Su shook his head, showing a difficult smile: "Changsheng, you are still too young, ahem, too young, you don't understand what I mean... But, it doesn't matter, you will understand later. …”

Chang Sheng stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and carried Li Su, whose voice gradually became silent, onto his body with difficulty. Although the wound on his back was struggling with blood, the child seemed not to be able to feel it. Feeling dizzy from the strong stench, he tore the robe on his body into strands, then tied it around Li Su's waist and tied it tightly around his body.

The strong light blurred the thin sweat on his face, Chang Sheng panted heavily, and finally stood up staggeringly after making great efforts.

After groping against the wall for a long while, an extremely small voice suddenly came over. Chang Sheng was overjoyed, and with a slight effort in his hands, the loose stone door slowly opened—the fiery red light engulfed him in a heat wave. The pores of Bang's whole body seemed to be opened wide. He gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand to support Li Su on his back, and walked over cautiously facing the blazing flame.
