[Jianwang III] Yellow sand is far above the sky

On the yellow sand, a large banner slowly stands on the ground, and the word "Anxi" on it is stretched out in the flying sand and dust.Feng Changqing, who was dressed in military uniform, frowned, and carefully looked at a group of cavalry standing in front of his army.

Feng Changqing held them together for a while, then asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

In the lead, a disgraced young man rode out slowly, holding a broken military flag.Although he looked a bit embarrassed, there was something faint about him that made him have to face it solemnly.

The young man looked at the big banner with the word "Anxi" embroidered on it, handed the military flag in his hand to the knight beside him, then got off his horse, walked slowly to Feng Changqing's horse and knelt down calmly: "Tiance Mansion Huben Camp General..." Then there was a slight pause in his voice, and he continued to say in a loud but somewhat hoarse voice: "... Kuangxiu, see the general."

Feng Changqing watched the young man's eyes soften a little, and muttered to himself: "Tiance Mansion?"

"The last general led 310 seven people from Tiance Huben Camp to go west to patrol the west. They encountered Spike Guards. They fought fiercely in 45 rounds and killed 230 five people. Today they came back from the encirclement and handed over their orders to the general."

Anxi Governor Gao Xianzhi rode his horse slowly, walked to Feng Changqing's side, and looked at the dozens of people who survived.There are only less than a hundred soldiers left in the first battalion of soldiers, and all of them returned with injuries.Even if it is so, everyone stands upright on the horse, even a seriously injured person rides on the horse with the help of his comrades.

The Wolf of the Eastern Capital deserves its reputation!

Gao Xianzhi's eyes drifted away, and he looked at the boy with a complicated expression: "Thank you for your hard work, let's go to the back camp to rest."

The young man who called himself Kuangxiu nodded and waved to the knights behind him.Although each body is still tense as if preparing for a battle, but all of them are full of joy after the catastrophe.The young man gave a military salute to Gao Xianzhi, then got on his horse, passed the banner with his companions, and galloped towards the rear camp.

Feng Changqing looked at the Dongdu knight who disappeared from sight, with a kind of sadness in his eyes, hesitated for a moment, then slowly looked at Gao Xianzhi: "Guardian, we..."

Gao Xianzhi turned his back to Feng Changqing, raised his hand to stop Feng Changqing's words, and looked at the dusty sky without saying a word.After a while, a strange sound came from my ear.There was a buzzing sound like the wings of a bee, and it seemed that something was vibrating rapidly in the air. That kind of sound, like the whispering of a secret demon, shook Gao Xianzhi's body, and his tall and straight back instantly hunched, as if The son is much older.

Feng Changqing lowered his head and sighed, urged his horse to approach Gao Xianzhi slowly, and was about to say something, when suddenly a burst of sharp laughter came from behind: "General Gao, Vice General Feng, you really know the general idea, thank you from our family."

With disgust written all over Feng Changqing's face, he frowned and looked back at the visitor.

The visitor was white-faced and beardless, wearing nondescript armor.It's not so much armor as it is a gorgeous robe inlaid with gold.The man walked slowly holding an embroidered umbrella, and wrapped himself under the embroidered umbrella, as if he was too weak to bear the sunshine of the desert.

Feng Changqing's expression was as if he had eaten a dead fly, and he said reluctantly: "Grandpa Yu."

"I've seen Vice General Feng." Eunuch Yu bowed, his gestures were a bit more charming than a woman's.He looked at Gao Xianzhi's back, and said slowly in a gentle voice: "General Gao, I have finished what Yang Xiangguo told me, and the five hundred crossbowmen are now returned to the general."

Gao Xianzhi turned his back to the crowd, and after a long time, he said softly, "Was it painful when they left?"

Eunuch Yu hid his mouth and laughed, and glanced at Feng Changqing with rolling eyes, which made the general who had been fighting for many years feel goosebumps all over his body: "Our family is kind-hearted, we don't want to see people suffer, and we will never forget the general's confession. Although They were shot like hedgehogs, but they still had smiles on their faces."

Feng Changqing's face suddenly changed, and he was about to speak, but suddenly his shoulders sank, and he realized that Gao Xianzhi patted his shoulder heavily.Feng Changqing took a deep breath and suppressed silence.

"Toil in the desert, since Eunuch Yu is done with business, why not go back earlier." Gao Xianzhi bowed his hands to Eunuch Yu.

Hearing this, Eunuch Yu took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped away the nonexistent sweat on his forehead: "It's still General Gao who is considerate, how could our family have suffered such a crime, if Yang Xiangguo hadn't begged you again and again, we wouldn't have Come to this pickling place."

Feng Changqing snorted and was about to explode, when he heard Gao Xianzhi say unhurriedly: "Chang Qing, let's go see those soldiers off, after all, they will be wrapped in horse leather." Then Gao Xianzhi turned his head to look at the yin and yang fish Father-in-law: "Eunuch, go back early, there is a lot of evil spirit here, and the emperor's imperial spirit may not be able to completely protect you after a long time."

Eunuch Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, thinking about the corpses on the ground, he also felt a chill rise from his body.His face turned paler, and he hurriedly sang and left with his entourage.

Gao Xianzhi sent a few steps away, and waited for Eunuch Yu's appearance of a villain who was afraid of being haunted by resentment to disappear from sight, before he let out a mouthful of long-suppressed foul breath.He turned around and urged the horse, and when he turned the corner, he saw Feng Changqing half-kneeling on the ground, pulling out the arrow from his body for the boy he had just met.Feng Changqing supported the young man's body with one hand, and with the other hand he clenched his fist and hit the sand heavily, not realizing that the back of his hand was scratched by the gravel.

Gao Xianzhi sighed, and walked slowly to Feng Changqing's side: "Changqing, after hundreds of battles on the battlefield, this is not the first time you have seen a dead comrade, why bother..."

"My mother, I have never seen a comrade who killed himself." Feng Changqing cried, with red eyes, pointing at the young man in his arms: "This is still a child! Child! Leading a team to fight fiercely at such a young age Ten games, the scars on his body won't lie! If a few more years pass, who dares to say that this child is not the next me! The next you!"

Gao Xianzhi was stunned. Feng Changqing had been his deputy for more than ten years, and he had always been respectful and polite, rarely making such a gaffe.He looked at the young man with a reassuring smile under his dull eyes, and couldn't help but feel sad.He slowly squatted down and gently closed the young man's eyes, then patted Feng Changqing's shoulder: "He survived a hundred battles, but died at the hands of his own people. Although things are not what we want, but in the end it is our fault." Knife. Such a crime will be punished on our own body sooner or later."

Feng Changqing glanced at the arrow-covered corpses around him, weeping like a child: "I was jealous of the emperor by guarding the frontier, and I finally got out, and I'm going to sell my comrades for the trust of an adulterer. I've never been so stupid in my entire life."

"Shut up!" Gao Xianzhi suddenly stern, but then sighed softly: "Compared to the forbearance of His Highness the Crown Prince, what are you and I? How much effort did Mr. Li, Mr. Mo, get us out of the imperial capital safely? Even if the traitor comes out to interfere at this time, we can't..."

"You can't destroy the Tang Dynasty for the lives of dozens of people, right?" Feng Changqing rubbed his eyes, and gently put the young corpse in his hand on the sand: "I understand, once we have trouble, we can't guard the Western Regions , just relying on the tricks of the Tang Dynasty's frontiers...'Bear the humiliation and bear the burden, don't abandon the frontier', I will never forget Mr. Li's words, but do we just give the lives of these good men to the traitors like this? ?”

"Compared to all the common people in the Tang Dynasty, any sacrifice is worth it." Gao Xianzhi looked at Feng Changqing expressionlessly, then helped up another corpse, and carefully pulled out the feather arrow from the corpse: "Except for guarding the frontier Well, Mr. Mo secretly asked me another thing." Gao Xianzhi looked at Feng Changqing, and pulled out a folding fan from his bosom.

Feng Changqing took the fan solemnly, unfolded it slowly, and found a handsome young swordsman painted on it.Next to it was written a line of small script, the style of writing was gentle like a woman's writing: "To my younger brother Xiao Shi Yiqing as a teacher's gift." Feng Changqing took a look, and then turned the fan to the back.It was still the young man in the painting, but the green shirt had turned into a white coat with vivid flame patterns dancing on it.

Feng Changqing took a deep breath, looked at Gao Xianzhi, and slowly uttered two words:

"Mingjiao?"

Gao Xianzhi nodded, looked up at the sky full of yellow sand, and heard the whimpering sound of the wind passing by his ears, four parts of sadness, five parts of melancholy, and one part of fear of an unpredictable future arose in his heart.
