Ye Gui

At dusk, the clouds are clouded, and the wind and snow will stop. In winter in the north, the snow will not melt when it falls. Layers will be covered, and the ground will be covered with thick silver. It will not melt until the next spring.

The sky was still gloomy, as if anger was brewing.In the dark world, corpses are scattered all over the field, and the corpses are covered with a layer of loose thin snow, like rocks one by one, saying that death is the eternal eternity.

The wind is surging, and the smoke is everywhere.

Lei Yan listened to Li Guangshan's report on the casualties. The remnants of Qin Yang's army followed several generals and ran away with about 1 people, captured 3000 people and brought them back to the prison.

The Shenyu Army killed and seriously injured more than [-] people, and nearly half of them were injured by raging monsters in order to save the people in the city.The common people gathered in the general's mansion and the school grounds, weeping softly, Xiao Yiniang hugged Xiao Yi, and was still waiting for her husband's return.

Everyone is exhausted physically and mentally, but the war has just begun.

Standing on the ruined city tower, Lei Yan watched Qin Yang's army gather on the southwest horizon. Lin Tong, Linshao and the other generals felt extremely heavy. No one spoke. The joy of winning just now was replaced by tense solemnity.They all knew one fact in their hearts: Qin Yang Kingdom and Shenyu Kingdom were about to go to war.

Yanming City is the gate of Shenyu Kingdom. If it is lost, Qin Yang will drive straight into the hinterland of Shenyu. In recent years, the king has been cowardly and inactive, deluding himself into believing that Qin Yang will really abide by the treaty between the two countries, and the military equipment is far worse than before. It wasn't Lei Ting's insistence. Every year when he returned to Tianlu City to return to his command, he would repeatedly urge the food and payment. Only the more than 5 soldiers stationed in Yanming City had enough food and grass to train and prepare for the war.But apart from the frontier army, Shenyu couldn't quickly assemble an army capable of resisting Qin Yang's invasion.If Yanming City falls and is occupied, then Shenyu Kingdom will be in jeopardy.

Lei Yan took a deep breath and ordered: "Lin Tong and Lu Li, you take 5000 people out from the south gate and ambush in the canyon. Lin Shao and Zhao Shunjie lead people to protect the people in the city and evacuate. Zhang Jiu leads people to reinforce the city gate..."

He made arrangements, and the generals left one after another. He held on to the edge of the city wall. No matter how strong Yanming City is, with such a huge disparity in numbers, it may still be difficult to resist. This will be a tough battle. There is no reply to the news yet, if there is no support, it is only a matter of time before Qin Yang's army breaks through Yanming City.

Bai Yin saw his worry, and put the cloak in his hand on him: "Ah Yan, what can I do for you?"

Lei Yan looked at him, he was his only softness and support in the icy and snowy wind and rain, the soldiers on the tower regrouped and lined up with their bows, he couldn't help approaching Bai Yin, rubbing his nose against the side of his face, and said softly: "Hakuin, I do have something I want you to help me with."

Bai Yin put his hands on his waist: "Say it, as long as you say it, I will definitely do it for you."

Lei Yan looked at him at the same level: "I need you to escort the people in the city to the south and take refuge in King Heng's fief."

"I won't go! I won't be separated from you!" Hakuin refused without thinking.

Lei Yan expected him to say this: "Heng Wang's fief is more than 500 miles away from Yanming City, and he will pass by the foot of Baijuan Mountain. I am worried that there will be demons... Bai Yin, I beg you, if the people don't evacuate , I can't deal with Qin Yang wholeheartedly, and...Qin Yang's entire army is dispatched this time, it is certain that he will win, and I am afraid it will be a tough battle."

Bai Yin said anxiously: "You also said that it was a tough battle, did you forget that your Heavenly Soul has not been found yet? I can't let you alone!"

Lei Yan took his hand: "Don't worry, I..."

He was interrupted by Hakuin before he finished speaking: "I don't worry? How many times did you tell me to reassure me? Every time I was worried, lest something happen to you, I don't want to care about other people, I just want to be with you!"

Lei Yan also knew that he had lost his trust in his heart, so he smiled helplessly: "I also want to be with you, but the battle is imminent, I am the commander, and I can't let the flames of war implicate innocent people! Bai Yin, I can't protect the people, What face do I have to live in this world?"

"Ayan, your soul is incomplete, and you will be scattered when you die!"

Lei Yan was a little anxious, and shook off his hand: "If you don't help me, I won't forgive you even if I lose my mind!"

Bai Yin was so angry with him that he didn't know what to say. How could it be a joke that his soul flew away, and he could no longer be reincarnated as a human being when he fell into the void.He was afraid of losing him.

The surrounding soldiers were waiting in full force, Lei Yan no longer looked at him, he wanted to hold his hand, but he avoided him, Bai Yin softly called his name: "Ah Yan..."

Lei Yan turned to look at him, his eyes filled with helplessness and sadness: "Bai Yin, what's the use of protecting me alone? I don't want to live in self-blame and guilt for the rest of my life..."

Bai Yin took a deep breath, his lover had integrated the responsibility towards the people of his family into his blood, he was born to bear heavy burdens, his life was not only his own, he was the protective shield of the entire Shenyu Kingdom.

Bai Yin took his hand, and the spiritual power of the right palm merged into a transparent jade, which was very similar to Pei Zheng's snow jade, but it was completely transparent. He put the jade into Lei Yan's palm, and the jade immediately turned into white light and flowed into him in vivo.

Lei Yan only felt a warmth flowing from his palm to his heart.

Hakuin sighed: "I will give you half of my spiritual power, it will connect you and me, if you are injured, I will share half of it for you."

Lei Yan instinctively refused: "No!"

Bai Yin pressed his hand, and said word by word: "Ah Yan, I will bear the burden on your shoulders for you, and I will bear your pain for you from now on. Wherever you go, I will be there." His attitude was firm. There is no doubt, but there is only deep love in the eyes.

I don't know if it was because the wind was too strong or the weather was too cold. Lei Yan's nose was sore and his eyes were red. He looked down at the hands they held and suddenly smiled. He has always been the one to protect others. He has long been used to being alone. Alone, for the first time he felt protected.

Then he leaned forward under the shocked eyes of the surrounding soldiers, and kissed Bai Yin on the lips: "Thank you, Bai Yin..."

His heart was sore and soft, he suppressed the untimely rising numbness in his body, and stuck it to his ears, blushing, and said seriously in a voice that only two people could hear: "When I win, I will give everything to you." you."

Zhao Shunjie organized the people to go out through the tunnel in the east of the city, and the tunnel led to the dense forest thirty miles outside the city. Xiao Yiniang hugged Xiao Yi, saw Bai Yin in the crowd, and shouted: "Mr. Bai! Mr. Bai!"

Bai Yin walked over, and Xiao Yiniang asked, "Master Bai, have you seen my husband?"

Bai Yin learned from Lin Shao that Xiao Yi's father had been killed by Kang Mu. He knew that death would mean eternal separation for the family, so he didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to tell the truth.

Xiao Yiniang had already had a premonition in her heart, but she still couldn't help crying, Xiao Yi also burst into tears, struggling and writhing in her arms, holding the child at a loss and crying: "Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi! according to!"

Lao Li came over, hugged the girl, and said, "Xiaoyi, stop crying. Grandpa gave you the lamb. Can you take good care of it?"

"This is your brother Ah Yan's sheep, and now I'll give it to you." He brought Xiao Hei over. The originally lively white lamb was bitten by the mouse demon, frightened, and hung its head listlessly. After all, he is only a five-year-old child who still can't understand the severity of life and death. He hugged Xiao Hei's neck with his little hands, and said in a very serious tone: "Grandpa, I will protect it, just like my father protected me."

Looking at Xiaoyi's immature face, Bai Yin suddenly understood what Lei Yan said that death will not erase the meaning and traces of a person's existence. Although the separation of life and death cannot be controlled by others, feelings and memories can settle in the world, never obliterate.

Lao Li sent all the people in the mansion out, and said to Bai Yin: "Mr. Bai, thank you, I know you want to stay in Yanming City...to stay with the little general, we are the ones who drag you down..."

Bai Yin smiled wryly and said: "Uncle Li, I will send you to Hengwang's fiefdom so that Ah Yan can focus on fighting against Qin Yang's army. How can it be said that it is a drag? Let's go, I have to come back quickly, lest Ah Yan won't want you me."

Snowflakes began to fall again, connecting the sky and the earth one after another.Before entering the tunnel, Bai Yin glanced back at the city tower. Across the entire Yanming City, his eyes passed over the houses and streets, and he could only see the white snow on the top of the double eaves of the city tower.

Li Ze first marched in person, and Li Jingzhu followed behind him, and glanced at Bai Ran who was wearing a hood.

"Yanming City is as solid as gold, but after all these troubles, I'm afraid it's exhausted. Now is the right time for us to attack." The white horse under Bai Ran's crotch felt the master's agitation and restlessness.

Li Ze first smiled and said: "Now there is only that kid Lei Yan in Yanming City, so there is nothing to be afraid of, Jing Zhu!"

"Brother Huang."

"I don't want to pursue the matter of you letting go of the junior brother of the country without permission. You are the vanguard and lead the army to attack the city. You must capture Yanming City before dawn!"

"My brother complies with the order!" Li Jingzhu hesitated and said, "Brother Huang, I have something to ask for your grace."

Li Zexian was in a good mood, and loved this cousin in every possible way: "Haha, do you want to ask for rewards before you have made military achievements? Tell me!"

"My brother wants to save Lei Yan's life."

Li Ze frowned first: "Why save his life?"

Li Jingzhu weighed his words and said: "The younger brother appreciates the talent of the little general..."

Bai Ran sneered in his heart, Li Ze Xianquan regarded it as the sympathy between their generals, so he said: "It's up to you, but don't lose everything, I believe you can distinguish between the important and the important."

Li Jingzhu saluted with his horsewhip in his hand, "Thank you, Brother Huang!"

He raised the flying snake, pointed his sword at the sky and shouted clangingly: "Soldiers! Follow me through Yanming City!!"
