The solemn and lonely city stands high on the Gobi Desert. In the night, the dark city wall isolates everything outside the city. The cold wind whips up snowflakes and slaps on the thick city gate, leaving subtle traces.

Crowds were crowded on the city wall, torches and lanterns were connected to form a fire dragon, and the beacon fires of the four turrets filled the sky with miasma, covering the gloomy sky.

Chi Muge was riding a war horse, standing alone in front of the closed gate of Cangyue City, behind him were thousands of troops from the enemy country who had just arrived.

The three parties were at a stalemate with each other, and no one took any action.

Even the howling north wind ended quietly, and huge snowflakes slowly fell, falling on his shoulders and melting slowly.The moonlight is suddenly as bright as new, pouring its own brilliance generously, every detail is vivid here.

All of a sudden, the shining fire dragon broke from the middle, and a sharp light suddenly pierced through the crowd, and the slender blade pierced through Chi Muge's chest.

He fell from his horse, knelt on the ground and struggled a few times, but remained motionless.

The horse circled around him, lowered his head and sniffed at his master, not knowing what to do, and waited there silently.

Seeing the solitary shadow falling in the distance, the crowd on both sides became agitated, but neither of them took any action.

The blood from Chi Muge's heart slowly flowed upstream along the veins of the blade, covering every fine line, making a chirping sound as if boiling, dyeing the blade a faint crimson red.

The army outside the city advanced 1.1 meters, and the thick shields smashed firmly on the ground, stirring up a piece of snow and ice.

The soldiers on the city wall bent their bows and set their arrows. The arrows were waiting for the target to come within range, and the straight shafts of the arrows were covered with thick snow.

The sound of snow falling can be heard quietly.

The two sides were at war with each other, a little bit of probing, and finally a horn tore apart the battlefield. On one side, thousands of arrows were fired, and the arrows ignited sparks all over the sky. With the howling cold wind, they rushed fearlessly into the armored fortress in front. On the other side, thousands of troops and horses , Among the chaotic army, the clashing sound of Changge and armor rushed forward along with the chaotic horseshoes, like two huge waves about to collide.

Suddenly, as if the fire that had been extinguished was rekindled miraculously, the towering Populus euphratica rose from the center of the battlefield, pointing directly at the sky.

The thick and strong branches blocked the arrow bushes all over the sky and overturned the charging army, just like two waves hitting the solid reef on the shore, instantly turning into foam.

The huge branches of Populus euphratica are like a solid wall, separating the two sides.

The dead bodies piled up outside Cangyue City turned into fireflies all over the sky in an instant, dancing in the quiet snow.

"The tree of life is the tree of life, God bless me Cangyue City, God bless me Cangyue City!"

The noise of cheers resounded on the city wall, and everyone let out a heavy sigh of relief.The enemy army was retreating, and the spirit blade disappeared. Cangyue City, an ancient city, ushered in her second life again this night.

The huge Populus euphratica split slowly from the middle, and a person came out stepping on the thick snow.

"Look, it's Chi Muge, it's General Chi!"

"General Chi is still alive!"

"Quick, open the door, open the city gate!"

With the slow pull of the iron chain, the heavy city gate slowly fell, and the heavy vermilion lacquer gate was slowly pushed open, and cheering people rushed out, rushing to the hero of tonight.

Chi Muge remained silent, watching the noisy crowd usher him into Cangyue City, watching the liberated people cry with excitement, watching the full moon in the distant sky slowly disappearing into the gradually clear sky.

The snow stopped and it was dawn.

The lord of Cangyue City was dead, and General Situ fell off his horse. Chi Muge took over all the affairs of Cangyue City as a matter of course, but he didn't show any special emotions, and it could even be said that he was too calm.

Most people's hearts are very relaxed, only a few people still have a huge rock hanging in their hearts.

When Xiao Rongzhi came back from General Situ's residence, he was full of worries along the way.

A few playful children on the side of the road were running and jumping, talking excitedly about what they saw and heard that night, almost deifying Chi Mu Ge.

"Let me tell you, I was standing at the outermost part of the city wall that night, and the troops from outside were about to come in, and there was that... big... old Populus euphratica scurrying from the ground. When it came out, it overturned all the villains at once, and General Chi grew out of the tree!"

"Nonsense, my mother said that General Chi came out of the belly of a tree!"

"My grandpa said he was a tree!"

"I'm going to be General Chi in the future!"

"I want to be one too!"

"My daughter wants, my daughter wants, eat the general... cluck... time, eat, eat the general..."

"Hahaha, the little boy's teeth haven't grown yet! It's General Chi, not eating..."

After the boy finished speaking, he showed his missing front teeth and laughed loudly.

Mr. Xiao looked at this group of carefree children and smiled helplessly. The burden on him seemed to be a little heavier.

He thought about it, and went to the old mansion in Cangyue City.He knew that Chi Muge was there, perhaps, waiting for him.

Sure enough, after entering the mansion, all the way was smooth, and everyone seemed to guess that he would come. A beautiful woman led him all the way to a side hall, and finally retreated to:

"Sir, General Chi said that if you come, I will let you wait for him here. There are so many things going on in Cangyue City recently, I'm afraid I won't be able to get away for a while. Please forgive me, sir."

"Ah, thank you girl,"

He paused, and looked at the girl in front of him. She was only in her early twenties, and she was slim and well-mannered, like a lady from a great family.

"This girl is a stranger, may I take the liberty to ask where she is from?"

"Ah, I came from the capital with General Chi. I am new here, so please bear with me if I make mistakes."

"Where is it, the girl dares to come to this bitter cold place in the northern part of the Great Wall, and I admire you."

"Sir, I laughed. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Well, let's go, girl."

"Farewell."

Xiao Rongzhi waited in the side hall for an hour before seeing Chi Muge push the door in, and he immediately stepped forward.

"General Chi."

"Well, sir, you have been waiting for a long time."

"It's okay, this pile of mess, I'll trouble the general."

"Is Old General Situ better?"

"Ah, it's okay. I just used my muscles and bones. I'm afraid I won't be able to ride a fast horse in the future."

"The old general is very old, he should take a few more days of training. I have complicated affairs here. I hope that my husband will greet the old general on my behalf. I will visit another day."

"It's natural, or the affairs of Cangyue City are more important, I..."

"Sir, you don't need to ask too much. I just want to ask you, sir, how much you know about the Spirit Blade. Please tell me everything, sir."

"This……"

Xiao Rongzhi was hesitant, he didn't expect Chi Muge to ask such a direct question, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"It's okay, sir, it's about my lover, and I will consider it carefully."

It was even more difficult for Xiao Rongzhi to speak when he heard it, and he stood there hesitantly, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Chi Muge saw that there was no effect, so his tone became stiff:

"Sir, what are you doing? I, Chi Muge, have a clear conscience towards Cangyue City. Why, are you guys just lying to me like this?"

"Of course it's not..."

"Then why did the husband refuse to tell me the truth? I might as well tell the husband that I already know that my lover has passed away, but I don't want him to die in an unclear way. This is something I can't accept until the end of my life. If If I don’t get any news about him here, I will leave Cangyue City and look for it elsewhere, when the time comes, I must ask you to take care of Cangyue City!”

"This, this is absolutely impossible!"

"Please sir..."

"Let me see who is so stubborn, what are you going to do?

"General Situ!"

"General."

The two of them stopped talking as they watched the door open and entered Situ Yanfeng.

Situ Yanfeng looked at Xiao Rongzhi who was in trouble, and then at Chi Muge with stubborn eyes, sighed, and said to Xiao Rongzhi:

"Mr. Xiao, you go back first, I'll tell General Chi."

"This……"

"Let's go back."

"Okay then, I will take my leave."

Situ Yanfeng looked at Xiao Rongzhi's leaving figure, sighed briefly, and turned to meet Chi Muge's eyes.

"Okay, listen, my old man, I will tell you everything today, and you can decide for yourself."

"Ah."
