After about half a month, I finally arrived at the border town. I counted with my fingers, and I have been separated from Lord Wumin for more than two months. The beacon fire is urgent, and he can't write a letter back, and I can't write a letter in the past. After all, he is also a role model. If he shows the emotion of missing the capital, it will definitely affect all the soldiers.
I don't want to say it, but I do miss Lord Wumin a little bit.
We have a team of only 10,000 people, and it has little impact on the whole war. After we came, we didn't even see Lord Wumin's face. He Qin came out and helped us to allocate. Qin winked, but his eyesight was really bad, so he didn't see me from the beginning to the end.
The current situation is generally good. The Nanwen Kingdom is the offensive side, but their soldiers have become war-weary, and the successive failures of the siege have made them lose all confidence. And Nanwen and Xiyang are partly connected. Mr. Wumin, a lunatic, sometimes leads a small group of soldiers after attacking and pushing the enemy, and chases the opponent all the way to Nanwen country, just like the one that everyone is talking about recently. One thing seems to be the last time Mr. Wumin ran into Jincheng of Nanwen Kingdom and set fire to it... Jincheng, the name sounds like a good place, but it was so hot that day, the fire was out of control, and the entire Jincheng was almost destroyed. It was destroyed, the morale of the Nanwen Kingdom was in a slump, it lost a shelter, and it was slapped hard.
Lord Wumin is like this, I can't say that I agree with his actions, but I have no position to criticize anything. He is fighting a war, although his tactics are a bit harsh, but... I glanced at Liuliang next to him, they Nanwen Kingdom is not so kind. What's more, Mr. Wumin is a real fighter, while Nanwen Kingdom is bullying me, a... uh, weak woman, with such low-level methods.
Since it was He Qin who came to receive us, Lord Wumin must be in his tent, so I settled down with the others first, took a few mouthfuls of food, then took off my heavy armor to get some fresh air.
Hey, it's been a long time since I came here...
I silently figured in my heart that I could sneak into Mr. Wumin's tent later in the day and tell him about Liu Liang.
But it seems that there is nothing abnormal about Mr. Wumin, he probably didn't believe the words of the dark servant who was controlled.
It was getting late, and I waited for the others to fall asleep, while I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep. The captain knew my identity, and probably could guess what I was going to do, so I encouraged everyone to go to bed early and get enough energy. I feel that the captain is really insightful and happy physically and mentally.
I pretended to sleep for a while, I was really tired, I couldn't help closing my eyes, and fell asleep a little bit...
Suddenly, there were waves of heart-piercing shouts from outside, mixed with scorching heat, and rushed towards us. I woke up suddenly, and quickly put on my armor with the people around me, put my own weapons, and left the camp.
As soon as he got out of the tent, he saw the orange flames reaching the sky outside, bright and stinging to people's eyes.
I was a little taken aback, and casually turned my head to the person next to me and asked, "What's wrong?"
The man ran and said, "It's on fire!"
I:"… "
It's up to you to say...
Me: "What was burned?"
He said: "I don't know! According to common sense, it should be food!"
I:"… "
What kind of common sense is this...
I was also a little anxious, and ran towards the burning place, but when I got to a certain place, I was stopped by someone, and then a man who looked like a soldier shouted: "The emperor's trick is to invite you into the urn! Don't worry, everyone, what is burning is not food! "
We waited outside for a while, and saw a group of people who were dressed completely differently from us being escorted out, and then the captain called up his own soldiers, and everyone was ready to fight, but the flames did not disappear, but burned more and more. Bigger trend.
The captain shouted: "Don't worry, everyone! The firewood we cut down from the mountain was burned. Now the enemy is ambushing on the opposite bank. They will attack only after the people they send give a signal. We will go around from behind and catch them by surprise!"
Everyone excitedly agreed, and then the strangest thing happened. The captain actually asked each of us to take a large pile of oily wood or hay, and said that we would put down the grass when we reached the other side, preferably to the south. Throw hard over Wen.
Everyone took the wood and hay, leaned against the overwhelming fire behind them and walked silently to the other side, while the other teams went around from the other side. Slowly, we all saw the soldiers of Nanwen, because it was a surprise attack , there are not many people, about 5,000 people, and we have fewer people. My team has only a few hundred people, and with other teams, it is estimated that there are only two to three thousand people.
There is a knee-deep and one-meter-wide stream between the camps of Nanwen Kingdom and Xiyang Kingdom. We walked across the water and slowly approached the Nanwen soldiers.
Suddenly I heard a familiar voice, facing the wind and calmly shouted: "Xiyang soldiers, throw grass and attack!"
It is Lord Wumin.
Everyone was encouraged to get up, threw the wood and hay as far as possible towards Nanwen, and then rushed towards the group of Nanwen soldiers who were in ambush but were ambushed. Of course, I was among them.
My martial arts are strong, so it is not a problem to save my life in a melee, but after all, fighting is different from ordinary fighting. It is not just one-on-one. , I was a little hesitant to start, but later I found out that if I hesitated, it would be bad for Xi Yang. After all, if I killed them earlier, they would have no chance to kill others.
All the way into the charge, my right hand holding the weapon was a little numb. Next to me, a young man who looked about my age had been following me to kill the enemy.
After finishing off one piece, I took a breath, and the young man still had strength, walked over and said with a smile: "Look at your delicate skin and tender flesh, I didn't expect to be so good at it!"
I:"… "
After a closer look, I realized that he was the one who started saying "on fire" to me...
I forced a smile at him, and couldn't help but glanced at Mr. Wumin who was killing the enemy on horseback. He was wearing the armor that I had cleaned for him, holding a silver gun, twitching and stabbing, casually Get rid of the person who rushed over immediately.
He is much stronger than I imagined. Although we are on the same level in terms of martial arts alone, when it comes to fighting, he is indeed much stronger. But I don't feel unconvinced, but a little happy.
And what surprised me was that there were only 5,000 people, and I thought he wouldn't go out in person.
But it does not seem to be the case, and although the soldiers were excited, they were not too surprised. It seems that when Lord Wumin was fighting, most of the time he did it with his own hands... It is no wonder that Xiyang soldiers are so good at fighting, and the emperor is rushing into the battle How can you not work hard to defend your home and country
Seeing me looking at Lord Wumin, the young man said: "You also admire the emperor, right? Hey... the emperor is really the most heroic and mighty man I have ever seen, and he has no airs at all."
It's okay to be brave and mighty... no airs? That's too unreasonable... If Lord Wumin hadn't become an emperor, he could have become an actor, he must be a popular niche.

I thought there were only 5,000 people, but who knew that Nanwen's backup troops would also come slowly, but fortunately, Xiyang's soldiers also came one after another, and the border between these two countries became a bigger and bigger border battlefield.
The young man and I both took advantage of the chaos to rest for a while, took a good breath, recovered some of our strength, and rushed to kill the enemy without thinking about our own safety, but this time I glanced towards Lord Wumin from time to time, because the people on both sides There are too many of them, and there are relatively few people on the horse. I am quite afraid that Lord Wumin might have something wrong.
Suddenly, Lord Wumin roared: "Retreat!"
Eh, just retreat
Everyone was a little puzzled, but what Lord Wumin said was both a military order and an imperial decree, no one dared to disobey.
Followed Lord Wumin to the other side, the Nanwen soldiers thought we were scared, and happily taunted and chased after us, as if they completely forgot that their ambush was not successful at all, and they lost their wife and lost their soldiers.
After almost everyone waded through the water, countless rockets were fired from our camp and flew straight to the camp of the opposite Nanwen country. Even if the range was not enough, it was enough to hurt many Nanwen soldiers.
I understood this move, probably because the firewood was burning, Lord Wumin prepared the archer in advance and shot with the help of the fire.
And we threw a lot of oily vegetation at the beginning, now the fire is about to start, it's very easy, after finishing off the small group of Nanwen soldiers chasing after us, we sat here to rest, and watched the other side burn up and burn the sky The fire, everyone can feel the scorching heat across the river, and the crackling sound can be heard endlessly.
Then there were countless screams, which were more shocking than those crackling fires. I couldn't bear to hear it. I turned my head to look at Lord Wumin, and saw him sitting on his horse with an expressionless face, neither joyful of victory nor confrontation. The sympathy of the enemy.
This time we had very few casualties, and I can basically imagine the extent of the enemy's damage, so everyone was very happy. No one cared about the enemy's endless screams, because they knew that if they didn't scream, they would scream. Maybe it's me.
A few soldiers and lieutenants surrounded Mr. Wumin together with He Qin. I found that Mr. Wumin, who only knows how to smile and laugh cheaply, actually showed the same smile that Wu Yong wore when he first appeared on the stage. ... how to describe it? Yes, gentle and refined...
And also kind...
I:"… "
It's too fake...
I think, Mr. Wumin might be thinking in his heart, "Hahahaha, I am so tough, so smart, so unpredictable, how about it, admire or not, happy or not, worship or not—huh?"
I was so suffocated by my own imagination that I wanted to laugh, and after a while, I couldn't help but sigh again.
The red fire on the other side was like a bursting sunset glow, spreading from the sky all the way to the ground, burning everything between the sky and the earth.
This is war, and it is a completely different concept from when I assassinated Lord Wumin.
It was also the first time I had fully joined a war.
My impression is, fortunately, I am on Lord Wumin's side.
The young man sitting next to me lay on the grass and pushed me: "Hey, why are you upset?"
Me: "I'm not unhappy."
He: "Then you don't laugh?"
Me: "..." The pipe is really wide...
"Hehe." I smiled.
He: "It feels fake."
Me: "Hey."
Him: "It's weird."
Me: "Hahahahaha, if you talk again, I will kill you."
he:"… "
"Hey, what's your name?" He sat up.
I was too lazy to think about it, so I casually said, "Tianwei."
He froze for a moment, and said, "There are still people with the surname Tian, this is the first time I've heard of it. My surname is Zhen, and my name is Zhen Er."
"Zhen Er...?" I couldn't laugh or cry, it really lived up to its name.
Zhen Er cried and said: "No, because my surname is Zhen, and I am the second child in my family."
I said, "Okay, I didn't mean to laugh at you."
I'm actually not in the mood to talk to him, because I suddenly thought of something. When I went out to fight, Liu Liang was still in the camp. Although he was tied up by me, I don't know if he has regained his strength now.
Glancing at Lord Wumin, I stood up and planned to go back to my tent, Zhen Er also stood up and said, "Hey, why don't you stay and see the Emperor?"
I:"… … "
"What do you mean..." I was a little speechless.
Zhen Er showed considerate eyes: "I understand, don't worry, I don't think it's okay to have a broken sleeve. What's more, it's normal for a man like the emperor to like him."
"..." I looked at him for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Finally I said, "Thank you... oh..."
Zhen Er said to me heartily: "It's all right!"
Then he said again: "But I heard that the relationship between the emperor and the queen is very good, you probably have no chance."
Me: "... thank you... oh."
Zhen Er obviously didn't know what I was thanking him for, so he looked at me a little suspiciously, then patted my shoulder and said, "It's okay!"
Being made dumbfounded by Zhen Er, I got up and wanted to go back to the tent, but finally took a look at Mr. Wumin, only to find that two men in black appeared beside him at some point, and they were reporting something to Mr. Wumin. Min Jun frowned, his face was not very good-looking.
Those two men in black are my shadow servants!
In a moment of excitement, I yelled in the direction of Lord Wumin: "Mr. Wumin, don't trust them, they are under control, and I have nothing to do!"
In an instant, the world was silent.
