Zhou Yi had just finished playing the game when he suddenly noticed Suzuki Chinatsu standing quietly behind him with a thermos bucket in her hand: "Why are you here to bring me food? Where's Tang Xin?"
"Hey! The first time we meet you only mention Sister Tang Xin?" Qianxia deliberately put on a stern face and puffed out her cheeks.
Zhou Yi thought that there seemed to be some truth in that, so he opened his mouth but didn’t dare to say anything.
Fortunately, Qianxia seemed to be joking and unscrewed the thermos. This was a double-layered thermos, with the upper layer containing vegetables and the lower layer containing soup. The aroma of food immediately increased Zhou Yi's appetite.
While Zhou Yi was eating, Qianxia said timidly, "Well, H City is so big, and this is my first time here, how about you take me out for a walk?"
"Ah?" Zhou Yi was a little surprised: "Then we won't go to work?"
"Hey!" Qianxia suddenly straightened her chest and shouted confidently: "This is a foreign country! I am a girl who has never been out of the house since I was a child. I eloped with you from such a long distance to H City! I don't understand the ways of the world..."
"Wait! Stop! Who eloped with you? You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"
"She's a girl who left her family and came all the way here with you. How can you say such things..."
Seeing Zhou Yi's embarrassment, Qianxia softened her attitude again, and said gently and with a bit of disappointment: "Okay! Since Xiaoyi is busy, forget it!" After that, she showed a gentle look and sat down obediently beside Zhou Yi's bed.
Zhou Yi felt sorry for what was happening, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Well... OK! I'll take you to the city for a good stroll some other day!"
"That's great!" Qianxia immediately smiled and looked at Zhou Yi who was eating with a smile. The room was full of a warm atmosphere.
"Hmm, it tastes good." Zhou Yi said, and was about to say something else when he suddenly froze. His eyes were directed towards the door of the room.
At the door, a girl with long flowing hair stood quietly by the door. Her beautiful eyes were filled with a smile, and she looked at Zhou Yi with a hint of amusement. Although her delicate face was still smiling, the smile tasted a little sour.
Zhou Yi's expression froze for a moment. Then it turned into a look of surprise, but soon, he noticed the girl's strange look. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that it was Tang Xin!
It’s over!
Zhou Yi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and an inexplicable fear began to spread wildly in his heart.
... ... ... ... ... ... ...
In August, the autumn wind blew up the grass dust on the grassland. The whole primitive land was turbulent, and strange things were quietly brewing.
Since ancient times, the area beyond the Great Wall has been known as a land of four wars. In the past hundreds or even thousands of years, there have been wars here from time to time, which has also cultivated a tough folk custom. Tubo, Turks, Khitans, Jurchens, Mongols, Xiongnu... War and bloodshed have always been the eternal theme of this grassland.
And now, with the fall of the Khitans, the arrogant Turks, under the leadership of Fengyan City, are sweeping across this ancient land with boundless momentum like a hurricane.
In the wilderness outside the Qiyan tribe, Temujin and Zhou Yi stood side by side, looking at the vast and melodious land in the distance, speechless for a long time.
"Should I call you Azhe or Qianbeibuzui?" Temujin suddenly asked.
Zhou Yi was stunned when he heard this, then he chuckled and said, "You already knew? Please forgive me for hiding it from you before! I didn't mean to do that."
"It's okay! You have done a great favor to my Qiyan tribe, so how can I blame you?" Temujin turned his head and looked at Zhou Yi and said, "Do you remember I said that I have a way to solve your internal injuries?"
"Oh? Is that true?"
"When have I ever broken my promise?" After saying that, Temujin took out an ancient scroll from his bosom and handed it to Zhou Yi, saying, "This is the scroll of Ba Dao Yue Shan. The Sun-Changing Technique contained in it has the miraculous effect of completely transforming one's body. Back then, Ba Fenghan was able to recover his strength with this technique. I believe you can also reach a higher level."
Zhou Yi took the scroll, overjoyed, and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you very much."
"Hey! No need to thank me." Temujin waved his hand to stop Zhou Yi and said, "The war is imminent, and every bit of strength will be a great help to our Qiyan tribe! But I do have a question for you."
"But it's okay to talk."
"Do you really think we can defeat the Turks?"
"What?" Zhou Yi heard this and stared at Temujin's face in surprise. He said, "I can't believe you asked this question. Don't you have any confidence?"
"Of course." Temujin frowned and said, "People of the grassland never surrender, so it is not difficult to make the decision to fight. However, the Turks have millions of troops after all, and they have masters like Feng Yancheng and Youming... I have no idea what the chances of winning are!"
Zhou Yi pondered for a moment before asking, "So how are you going to fight this battle?"
"Ha!" Temujin suddenly laughed and said, "Of course it's the old way! I'm already working on the transfer. Once the war starts, I will lead the Mongolian tribes to hide in the Onon River and Burhan Mountain area. The terrain there is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Once it's delayed until the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, the enemy will have no choice but to retreat, but..."
"But there are no soldiers outside to save us, and no city inside to defend!" Zhou Yi looked at Temujin intently and said, "This time, the enemy has almost mobilized all the troops in the grassland to attack. This determination is different from any previous Mongolian enemy. Once the opponent is determined to hold on, you will be trapped and die in the mountains sooner or later!"
"This..." Temujin shook his head helplessly and said, "I know this, but what can I do? The difference in military strength is so great. If we attack head-on, we will be wiped out!"
“This... ..” Zhou Yi opened his lips slightly, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Indeed, what Temujin said was right. The situation was stronger than the person. What could he do
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Zhou Yi's mind. He grasped Temujin's shoulder tightly and said, "What if... what if... we send a small force from among us to attack the rear of the entire Turkic army? If we attack along the strategic depth of the Turkic army that stretches for thousands of miles, we can at least slightly suppress the opponent's front-line offensive... Moreover, once the situation changes, I believe the Tibetans will never let go of this good opportunity!"
"This..." Temujin's eyes froze for a moment, but then he burst out with an incomparable brilliance and said, "Good plan, but this detachment must not only be the best in the world, but its leader must also be an invincible super commander! With my status, I must be in charge of the Qiyan Central Army, so..."
"Please, even if you can't get drunk, are you willing to take my good man from Changshengtian and turn the world upside down on this grassland?" (To be continued)
