Water doesn't make waves for no reason

Chapter 64 Iron Horse Glacier

That night, Xuan Ling just put down the vermilion pen and hurried to the Bieyuan. After talking with Gu Yuexi, he was exhausted, and fell asleep after hugging and kissing her for a while.

Gu Yuexi found that the people around her were still, and only when she heard a long and even breath, did she know that this person had fallen asleep.

Is there any big event going to happen recently?It's rare to see Xuan Ling so tired, one day he won't be alive and well, how can he sleep if he doesn't torment himself enough?

Gu Yuexi's pretty brows frowned, then she got up and put on a dress, found Anshenxiang and lighted it, then went back to the bed and put her in her arms, ready to fall asleep.

In a daze, I heard Eunuch Li's voice outside the door, "Your Majesty, this old slave has something important to report."

Xuan Ling was still in a deep sleep, but Gu Yuexi woke up immediately, put on her clothes and went outside the door to ask in a low voice, "Is the father-in-law in a hurry? Looking for him so late?"

Eunuch Li was respectful but anxious, "My lord, there is an urgent battle report ahead, so I can only come here to invite the emperor."

Apart from Xuan Ling himself, the only ones who could go to the Bieyuan were Su Leng, Eunuch Li and a few special ones.

"Then I'll go and wake him up." Just as he was about to go back to the room, he turned around again and looked at Eunuch Li fixedly, "Eunuch, is there something important going to happen recently? Tired, I'm worried about his body..."

Eunuch Li just lowered his eyebrows, "I don't dare to talk about political affairs, I'm sorry, my lord."

Gu Yuexi nodded and went back to the house.

He extinguished the Anshenxiang, and went to shake the sleeping person lightly. Xuan Ling turned over and wanted to hug him, but in vain, he opened his eyes in a hurry, and found Gu Yuexi standing beside the bed, He immediately sat up, a strand of hair was still hanging on that handsome face, and he was about to pull someone out, like a child who wakes up and wants to find his mother.

Gu Yuexi smiled and sat down, "Get up quickly, Eunuch Li is here to invite you."

Xuan Ling didn't get enough sleep, and his whole body was numb. He lay down in Gu Yuexi's arms, feeling lazy, "What's the matter, woke me up in the middle of the night?"

"Your Majesty, get up quickly, and say that there is an urgent report from the front." Hearing this, Xuan Ling immediately sat up, putting away those childish emotions just now.

"You go to bed first, I'll go take a look." In the blink of an eye, it was the killing and decisive emperor again.

He got up and put on his clothes neatly, and didn't need anyone to wait on him. He just took a step and then turned back, holding someone in his arms and kissing him before turning around.

"Xuan Ling, did something happen?" Gu Yuexi finally asked.

Xuan Ling's hand that was about to open the door paused, then turned around and said, "It's nothing, I'll go back as soon as I go."

Gu Yuexi waited all night, but Xuan Ling didn't come back.

On the northwest border, wild sand is everywhere, pedestrians in the small town are in a hurry, all wrapped in scarves, two people stand facing each other, only seeing each other's eyes.

This seems to be a peaceful afternoon, people are used to the wind and sand all over the sky.

Without warning, a group of men in black appeared in the small town with machetes, and began to slaughter everyone they saw.

All of a sudden, crying and screaming spread, those who didn't have time to react, those who couldn't run, were all dead on the street in an instant. They were all unarmed ordinary people. Before they had time to think why or who they were, they were already confused 's dead.

The streets where people could be seen at first disappeared after a while, leaving only the corpses lying in a mess.

The evil deeds did not stop, and soon there was even more heart-piercing screams, and the flames shot up into the sky.

It seems that the end is coming, and it is full of devastation.

Finally, the neighing of a horse broke the bleakness.

The eyeballs of the immediate man were about to burst, and he yelled, "Take down those traitors for me, and kill them if you see them!"

A group of soldiers behind them responded in unison, and then started the second killing, but the target was the pedestrian holding the scimitar.

The last man in black, his face was covered with blood, and his beard kept agitating as he gritted his teeth, but his eyes were vicious, "You Han dogs! Sooner or later we will kill you all, hahaha... our people I have already sharpened my knife, and I am waiting to eat your flesh and drink your blood! Your death is approaching." After speaking, he picked up the scimitar and cut his own throat, blood splashing everywhere.

The person immediately sneered, and spat at the corpse, "Bah! Where did Shanmoye come from..."

"It's bad! General! We found the enemy [-] miles away from the city gate, and the sentinel on the defensive tower has already been shot and killed! It's only now that we found the enemy!!"

"how many people?!"

"Visual estimation... tens of thousands."

"It's unreasonable! Quickly mobilize troops and prepare horses, and fight!"

The enemy's speed was very fast, and it took only a cup of tea to reach the city gate. The ground trembled under the pressure of the chariot wheels, and the sound of horseshoes and shouts resounded through the sky.

"Dog Han people, Han people dogs!" The voice shook the sky.

At the city gate, get ready, draw your bow, and shoot.

The arrows swooped down, pouring down like a torrential rain, but they were all blocked by the solid shield, and the enemy was constantly approaching.

The enemy came prepared this time, with strong soldiers and strong horses. The people on the city gate panicked instantly, and the general yelled, "What the hell! Are you afraid of death?! Are you afraid?!"

"Not afraid!"

"Die your life for the country and never give up!" "Prepare—let go!"

Another huge boulder rolled down, covered with oil, and small sparks from the friction instantly turned into a big fireball, rolling towards the enemy.

For a while, it was like purgatory on earth.

The commander holding the scimitar had a smile on his lips, and whispered something to the guard beside him. The guard nodded, and their entire team changed. A huge cannonball was pushed out from behind, with a dozen people fighting each other.

In less than a day, the general died and the city gate fell.

The enemy's iron cavalry stepped into the city gate. This is only a small city, but it gave the enemy a lot of encouragement. Unexpectedly, the defense is so poor that it is almost vulnerable.

So far, the war that ended a few years ago has awakened the people of this dynasty again.

One after another, urgent reports were passed to Xuan Ling.

In just three days, three cities have been lost. The enemy is good at riding, and most of them are dead soldiers.

Xuan Ling was sitting in the imperial study at the moment, frowning as he looked at the map, and the few urgent reports were thrown in front of him.

The three lost cities were originally snatched by him in the early years, and they did not belong to his own country. At that time, he was young and energetic, expanded the territory, expanded the border, and won the three cities, and the people who lived there moved away , re-lived in the Han people.

Those people naturally hold grudges, and objectively speaking, they belong to their own country.

It's just that the city can't be lost anymore, and the next is an important hurdle. If this hurdle is broken, then the flames of war will really be ruined.

Xuan Ling pinched the center of his eyebrows, and finally couldn't help cursing in a low voice, "I've raised a bunch of idiots for you!"

Back then, he was the commander in charge and commanded from the town. Although he didn't go directly to the battlefield to fight, he also gave the soldiers great reliance.

The soldiers who fought side by side with him back then, those who survived, are basically in high positions now, from the general to the commander, and they are guarding that important checkpoint.

Xuan Ling signed several military orders in a row, and the messengers left overnight, non-stop.

With them guarding him, he could feel more at ease. It was late at night, and Xuan Ling's face was still full of fatigue, and he was still not as young as he was a few years ago.

State affairs are constantly consuming him, and he is in a high position, and there is no moment when he can truly relax.

Except when you're with that person.

The author has something to say:

I can't bear to be smashed by these dogs.Anyway, we have to watch them complete their mission, right?
