Snow Chihiro

==========================

The dawn is especially late in winter, and the darkness always makes people want to sleep for a while, but today no one is sleepy. The famous military generals in the Hami Acropolis gathered in a room, staring at the city defense map in the center with wide eyes.

Gu Changfeng drew out his sword and pointed at one place, and said to King Zhongshun, "This is the third line of defense. If the enemy breaks through the city, our army will only defend with the inner city and ambush with street fighting." He was talking , as soon as the door rang, a group of people stood up one after another. Gu Changfeng looked back and bowed down with the crowd: "His Royal Highness is a thousand years old."

Dongfang Xi stretched out his arms slightly to let Qingji take off his cloak for him, and walked towards the main seat while saying: "You don't need to be too polite, General Gu, please continue."

Seeing her coming, King Zhongshun hurriedly moved away from his honorable seat, and Dongfang Xi sat down without being polite.Before she came, Gu Changfeng was talking about the layout of the city defense, but at this time he was rude and started to deploy again.He wasn't very familiar with the Oach Warfare, but since he came here, he kept asking local officers and soldiers for advice, and he went to the grassland in person, which is not just talking on paper.After talking about the general strategy, he assigned tasks to the generals one by one, and everyone left one after another, leaving him alone in the room.

Dongfang Xi never interjected a word from the beginning to the end. At this time, he put down his teacup, raised his eyes and asked, "How about the ambush?" This ambush is the backhand, and also the secret weapon of the two. Mentioning this, he replied at this moment: "It is only fifty miles away from Hami. The cavalry can make a surprise attack at any time to pound its gunpowder. The infantry will be in ambush half an hour after the battle begins."

Dongfang Xi nodded, "Defense in this battle is not an important task. We must use Daming's power. Only in this way can we stop the invasion of the tiles and make Daming have no worries, so we can focus on dealing with the Mongolian Tatars."

"The humble post understands, and I will definitely live up to His Highness's high expectations." Gu Changfeng clasped his fists heavily, and said again: "It's just that the war is dangerous, and now the Hawuer tribe is not far from the city, and the troops will come to the city in about an hour. The humble post is not good anymore I advise His Highness to leave, and I have no time to protect His Highness, I hope His Highness will take good care of you."

Dongfang Xi smiled, "Don't worry, General Gu, I can take care of myself." She responded casually, and then said more casually: "General Gu must be thinking that this palace will not just come here early in the morning to ask questions. something."

Gu Changfeng also laughed, "If you really can't hide anything from Your Highness, please tell Your Highness clearly." Last night, His Royal Highness Princess Chang came to Hami at this critical moment, which really made him a little flustered, but Dongfang Xi didn't let Xue Qian go away. He blamed him for what he was looking for, but he entered his house early and searched secretly in Hami City.

Dongfang Xi glanced at him, and said leisurely: "I am here this time to return you the person General Gu lost." Seeing Gu Changfeng's face suddenly turned extremely ugly, she clapped her hands calmly, Outside the door, Xue Qianxun walked in calmly.

Gu Changfeng didn't look back, but his heart was beating fast, he opened his mouth and couldn't speak.

Dongfang Xi didn't care what he thought, waved her hand, "Hurry up and send her to where she should go."

Gu Changfeng clenched his fists tightly, and asked in a shy voice: "Your Highness, you and I have already prepared for this battle, why do you have to use her?" Qian Xun has never left, he can still grit his teeth like this, but she has clearly left, she has clearly...

Dongfang Xi raised his eyebrows and motioned for Qingji to step forward, "I've done the work for General Gu."

Gu Changfeng closed his eyes suddenly, and his fists were clenched tighter and tighter, without stopping.Dongfang Xi saw it in his eyes, then looked at Xue Qianxun with a bit of disdain at the corner of his mouth, smiled wryly, and watched her go away, and said softly: "This battle can be won but not lost. He knows more than you. His steadfastness of mind is rare in the world, and he is highly respected for his role as a hidden military adviser in Hawuer's department for more than ten years. To mess with Hawuer will definitely mess with Wei Jinyan, and to mess with Wei Jinyan will require Qianxun."

"It's Xue Qianxun who is really her daughter. If she is sincere and determined, how can she lose her mind?"

Dongfang Xi didn't want to say too much about this matter, although she personally uncovered the past, she hoped that it could be buried again with this war, but said: "They are not as simple as lost mothers and daughters. There are many origins. As for the safety of Xue Qianxun, you can rest assured, my palace has sent people to set up traps last night, and when the fire rages to cover the line of sight, Xue Qianxun can be replaced secretly."

Gu Changfeng was silent when he heard the words, and clasped his fists for a long while, "I still have military affairs in my humble position, so I'll leave first." He strode out without waiting for Dongfang Xi's response, and Dongfang Xi didn't call him back, silently staring at the dancing candle.Her thoughts drifted to other places, and it took a long time before she was called back by Qingji's call, "Is it done?"

Qingji should be, bent to support her, and said as she walked: "At the other end of the Su family, Miss Su hasn't left the house since last night."

Dongfang Xi smiled wryly, "Perhaps it's good to avoid this Palace, otherwise, if she finds out about Xue Qianxun, there will be trouble again."

Qingji's hands stiffened slightly, Dongfang Xi turned her head and glanced at her, Qingji stuck out her tongue, "It's too cold."

"It's very cold." The further to the west, the colder the night. "Someone secretly protects the house of the Su family. I don't want her to be affected in the slightest during this war."

Today's sun is like a girl waiting to be married, shy and reluctant to show her face, but Gu Changfeng doesn't feel comforted, but worried.People in the prairie are no different from the Central Plains. Before the war, they exchanged names and read a few articles eloquently to show that they are teachers of justice.When they come, they will fight, and they will launch an offensive as soon as the sky is bright, but now it is not yet dawn, the most excited mental state of the defenders has passed, and their morale may be affected.

The sun also gave him a bit of relief in his worries, the sky gradually became clearer, and the brilliance of the torches gradually faded. Gu Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief, raised his heart again, and ordered: "Order the whole army to concentrate on preparing for war!" , hang up the rebels in the city!"

General Pi received the order to leave, and Gu Changfeng finally couldn't help but look at the high shelf under the city. It was 300 meters away from the city, and at the place with the best range, there were 300 people around in full armor, all dead soldiers.He just swept it hastily, and settled on the woman in red in the middle. The white fox fur was left aside, and she stood there quietly in the snow and ice with her black hair flowing.Gu Changfeng gritted his teeth and raised his right hand, and the flag generals around him immediately raised three large flags, and the dead men under the city also moved, hanging Xue Qianxun on the shelf, bright red, like the fourth exhibition flag .His eyes were red, and the hand on his waist seemed to be crushing the hilt of the sword. A timely voice sounded from the side, "Beat the drum."

Gu Changfeng came back to his senses. Hearing the sound of the drums, the arrogance of a bloody battle was ignited in his heart again. He turned his head and glanced at Dongfang Xi beside him, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Dongfang Xi hooked the corners of his mouth, with a confident smile on his face, put down the diorama in his hand, pointed to the clusters to the west, and said, "Here we come."

Hawuer's troops arrived at the city last night, stationed two miles away from the city to rest, and now the former army is 500, and Wei Jinyan got up early, and after that, he and Zhuo Le led their own guards and rode side by side. . "The Ming army is well-armed. The first line of defense is known as ravines and arrow towers. They are all within the range, [-] meters away, echoing up and down. We will inevitably suffer some damage before we attack."

"It's a war, there is no one who can't die." Zhuo Le smiled boldly, and looked ambitiously at the majestic city. After a while, the former army reported that they had touched the line of defense. Wei Jinyan and Zhuo Le sped up their horses and followed closely.Even if the gully needs sand and corpses to fill it up, it is easier for people to lose their lives with the presence of a backbone at this time.

They quickly caught up, the ravine was already filled with a layer of corpses, and a few sporadic arrows with long range hit them, and they were lightly picked up and fell to the ground.

Excitedly, Zhuo Le was about to go to beat the drums in person, and just wanted to talk to Wei Jinyan, but saw her suddenly rein in the horse and stare blankly at Hami's direction.Zhuo Le followed her gaze, and was naturally attracted by the bright red ball. He couldn't see the person's face clearly, but felt that her red dress fluttering in the wind was like a heart, beating. "who is she?"

Wei Jinyan ignored him, her face turned pale, she gritted her teeth and said, "Li Wei, give me the diorama." She wanted to see more clearly, but after seeing clearly, she kept holding it up, wanting to see more carefully some.

It was her, it was Xue Qianxun, and she was also the daughter of herself and Xue Zhongbai.This appearance is a combination of the two, with her father's tough outline, Xue Zhongbai has been dead for 20 years, no one can fake it so realistically.Wei Jinyan felt a heart suddenly full and warm, but also felt a heart suddenly hollow, sinking to the bottom.

Seeing Wei Jinyan's ugly expression, Zhuo Le guessed that the woman in red was a member of the Kuangyun Gang, and scolded: "People from the Central Plains are really despicable, Mr. Li, who is she?"

Li Wei glanced at Wei Jinyan with some hesitation, but didn't get the slightest hint, so he could only perfunctorily say, "That's the most powerful spy in my gang." He deliberately pretended to be more real, and also intentionally reminded Wei Jinyan, and said: "There are still a few members of the gang on the top of the city, all of whom have made great contributions to the gang, and the head of the family is very sad because of this."

Zhuo Le was stunned, and comforted: "Don't be sad, I will lead the army to bloodbath Hami City to avenge the heroes!"

Wei Jinyan silently put down the diorama in her hand and ignored him, her pale knuckles showed her inner struggle.Zhuo Le was a little restless and anxious, and said displeasedly, "What exactly do you want?"

"To save her."

"What?" Zhuo Le was taken aback, unable to believe that Wei Jinyan made such a mindless decision, "You know the Central Plains people better than I do, you are optimistic about her position and there are hundreds of elite soldiers nearby, all in armor waiting for work I don't know how many people will be killed or injured if I shoot them with arrows, let alone put my head under someone's bow and arrow to be slaughtered!"

"You can't shoot arrows." Wei Jinyan pursed her lips and said, "After a while the gully will be filled, and I will attack with a master, and you will order a group of soldiers to cover it, and when I rescue her, she will retreat out of range, and we will reorganize our soldiers and horses to attack again. "

Zhuo Le sneered angrily, "You want me to fill in at least a thousand soldiers just for one person? Master Wei! What are you thinking?"

Wei Jinyan opened her mouth, didn't answer him, and put the diorama in front of her eyes again. This time she just skipped Qianxun Xue and saw the top of the city. There were her brothers and...a person who was also holding a diorama.That person was also a woman, and she looked familiar, young but imposing. Wei Jinyan felt that she was also looking at him, and knew who she was and whose descendant she was.Never thought of such a gentle woman, but her son is so ruthless, Wei Jinyan sighed in her heart and stopped looking, and glanced at the back of Zhuo Le leaving angrily, and said: "Choose 100 people with the best kung fu and walk with me later .”

At this time, there were no outsiders, and Li Wei couldn't help but said, "The head of the family! If the brothers die, she can't die?"

Wei Jinyan glanced at him, this glance was obviously very cold and flat, but Li Wei clearly felt the sadness and unwillingness in it, and even pleaded. "Li Wei, she didn't die in the massacre more than 20 years ago, she didn't die in the fire 20 years ago, she didn't die in the humiliation and suffering of 20 years, I can't let her die here, I can't let her die in front of my eyes. "

"I want her to live!"

However, unlike 20 years ago, whether Xue Qianxun can survive at this moment is not up to her.
