Can Drink A Cup of Nothing

They had only just left the imperial city for three days, and almost half of them were resting in place. Baicheng is on the border between Dayuan and Weiguo, and it takes at least five or six days to get there. Emperor Yuan's letter.

So next, the only time to rest is to rest in Baicheng for a day and a half.

Anyway, I have to wait for so many days, and I just wanted to tell him something after hearing what Pei Qianxue meant. Zong Luo didn't even think in a strange direction, and simply agreed.

At night, when he slept in the tent, he stayed silent.

The bed on the opposite side was still cold and empty, and there was no abnormal sound inside or outside the tent.

too.

Zongluo turned over in the darkness.

He had already threw the Tiger Talisman of the Heavenly Secret Army that Yu Beizhou had placed under the table. According to Emperor Yuan's orders, Yu Beizhou should have gone to pick up the Heavenly Secret Army who had also taken another route to Wei.

The Tianji Army set off earlier than them, and the distance from Xuanqi should not be far away now. If they can't meet in Baicheng, they may have to meet at the front line.

Thinking of his own thoughts about piercing Yu Beizhou, this person is still a dead duck, Zong Luo just wanted to sneer. I didn't want to look at him at all.

It's okay to be apart for a while. For the generals, avoid being emotional.

By that time, calm down completely, and there will be no more moths.

The next day, when it was still bright, they packed their bags and got ready to go.

Xuanqi was a team of cavalry, and when they accelerated with all their strength, the speed was naturally speechless. In just one day, he traveled hundreds of miles, and when the sky was covered with twilight, he simply found a slightly flatter wasteland to set up camp, simply ate some hot food and then fell asleep.

At first, Zong Luo was a little worried that Pei Qianxue's physical fitness would not be able to withstand such a hurry. In the end, I didn't expect Pei Qianxue to endure it. When I asked, he said that he trained with Mu Yuanlong when he went back to the north for disaster relief.

Mu Yuanlong laughed extra loudly: "When Pei Tong was on our way, he was almost exhausted. Later, he managed to endure it, which is really amazing."

"Mu's words are wrong. After all, when he was in the legal school, he also learned the legal school's precepts."

Pei Qianxue sat on the horse, although his face was pale due to the high-intensity journey for several days in a row, but as Mu Yuanlong said, he had not reached the point where he could not march.

Zong Luo watched horseback riding before reading the book, and always thought it was easy. In fact, only after reading the book did I realize that riding a horse is a physical activity, not to mention that the horse's back is very upside down, and the body has to follow the horse's back to make waves. In particular, the horse's physical strength is still limited, and a person and a horse have to coax like an uncle.

For example, Zhao Yebai looks very good, but in fact is not very skinny.

After so many days of working overtime, they finally arrived at Baicheng.

After a few days of cold wind blowing on horseback, Zongluo calmed down enough to adjust to the wartime state, and no longer worry about other things that should not be bothered.

The only coincidence is that when they entered the city, they happened to collide with another army.

From a distance, Mu Yuanlong saw the red figure on the horse on the opposite side, and said in surprise: "It turns out that the King of Beining disappeared, and he went directly to receive the Heavenly Secret Army."

This is also quite in line with the style of this prince, Mu Yuanlong thought.

After all, His Majesty personally ordered it, and he was His Highness's mortal enemy. How could he be willing to hand over military power obediently, so he naturally had to go to his own base camp.

This time, they were all assigned to the center-line theater. Although there would be no accident on the battlefield, I just hope that nothing will happen on the road. For example... the two armies meet on a narrow road, and it looks like they are going to enter the city, and there is no reason for one to let the other.

Just when Mu Yuanlong thought that His Highness would have to fight the King of Beining again to see who would enter the city first, the black horse in front of the Tianji Army paused for a while, scratched its hooves on the spot, and stopped in front of the city gate.

Does this mean... let Xuanqi enter the city first?

Mu Yuanlong was a little confused as a monk of 20 feet. Just as he was about to speak, he saw his Highness looking straight ahead and said lightly, "What are you still doing."

After entering the city without any danger, Mu Yuanlong was in a trance.

The entire Xuanqi team entered the city under the silent gaze of the Tianji Army, and when they were placed in the past, it was as terrifying as the sun came out from the west.

The military law of the Tianji Army is strict, even to the point of being harsh. Along the way, Mu Yuanlong couldn't find out why the King of Beining was suddenly willing to take a step back. It was obvious that His Royal Highness had left the King of Beining without saying goodbye a few days ago. His Royal Highness, the King of Beining, who has been tit-for-tat for so many years, knows how to be soft.

"The whole army rests and leaves on time the next morning."

However, Zongluo also didn't want to explain too much, and after ordering the soldiers, he was busy meeting with the county governor.

The county governor of Baicheng is also an old military general. The most important thing in Dayuan is the military general. After retirement, he can rely on military achievements to slack off and clear his post. If he is a general, he can directly become the governor of a party. In addition, Baicheng is located on the border of Dayuan, and the military generals are the county guards. In case of any change, the reaction is more timely and swift. Just like Wu Anjun, he can still play and fight again while wearing armor.

The county governor had originally received the news that the King of Beining brought the Xuanqi cavalry and might join the Tianji Army in Baicheng. However, he never imagined that when he packed up and put on his official uniform, he saw Zong Luo, who was covered in frost and white, immediately stunned, and hurriedly saluted.

"Old minister sees His Royal Highness Prince!"

Zong Luo hurriedly helped him up: "Elder Lu, don't be too polite."

Coincidentally, the county governor admired Zongluo very much.

After learning that Zong Luo concealed his identity and came to the front line, Lu Anfu sighed: "Your Majesty will let you come, the old minister is really unexpected. But no matter what, today is different from the past, you must take care of your health."

A general cannot say this, but in front of a general, Zongluo is still the Prince of Dayuan, and nothing is more important than his life.

"I know." Zongluo nodded solemnly.

Lu Anfu had always admired the third prince, but now he became more and more satisfied.

In the past, he was a figure of Wu Anjun's generation, and he was often pressed and rubbed on the ground by the Yu Kingdom God of War. Now that I hear Wu Anjun's ending, I can't help but sigh.

After finally chatting with this veteran Lu, Zong Luo was finally able to rest in the mansion where he settled down.

They are still about eight days away from the front line. Baicheng is the last stop on the way, and they will have to wait until the next time they are stationed.

The military newspapers from the front were also sent one after another, and now many places know that Pei Qianxue was escorted by Xuanqi to Dayuan to sit in the rear of Wei.

Now that the news has been released, it is very likely that he will encounter a steady stream of assassinations after entering the border of Wei.

Zongluo had to do a good job of disguising in Baicheng, at least he couldn't wear such flamboyant white hair and Zhao Yebai, otherwise he would simply not be attacking himself.

Just after finishing everything, he suddenly remembered what Pei Qianxue said a few days ago, so he paced out of the dormitory where he temporarily settled down.

It happened that Pei Qianxue was not far away, so Zong Luo asked, "Axue, don't you have something to tell me?"

The Prime Minister in Tsing Yi hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Jin Yu, I haven't asked you before, you and the King of Beining..."

Zongluo interrupted him: "The war is urgent, and these personal affairs should be put aside. Even if I have a personal grudge with the King of Beining, I should not follow it until the righteousness of the family."

This can be regarded as a positive answer to the confusion with Yu Beizhou.

Unexpectedly, Pei Qianxue was silent for a long time, gave him a deep look, and replied, "You are right, there is no personal relationship in front of the family and the country. Now it's a decisive battle against Weiguo, and you can't be affected by these chores. "

Having said that, the Prime Minister in Tsing Yi, who seems to have been on his mind for the past few days, seems to have a deeper mind.

Zong Luo glanced at Pei Qianxue suspiciously, but he could only give up because he didn't see anything on the latter's face that was used to hiding his thoughts.

By the time the meeting was over, it was already dark.

It was pattering outside, and it seemed that it was raining again and again, pattering on the eaves, making a splashing sound.

"crunch-"

Zong Luo lit the candlestick and closed the window lattice.

The damp and cold room was already warmed by the brazier.

He took off his boots and socks, lay down on the bed, put Zhan Lu within reach of the pillow, and closed his eyes slightly.

Baicheng is not big, but it is a small border town. The food at night is the beef and mutton offered by the people enthusiastically. It is roasted on the bonfire and eaten with salt. It is delicious.

Apart from the permanent army, there are not many people here. The night was quiet and quiet, except for the sound of rain through the window.

With the sound of rain, Zong Luo fell asleep in a trance.

The sound of breathing in the house finally fell into a long and lingering sound.

The candle on the bronze candlestick burns shorter and shorter, and drops of melted white wax drip from the end of the flame, falling to the bottom of the candle like tears, and finally solidified on the surface.

The rain is getting heavier.

On the windowsill, a falling shadow slowly began to wander.

After blocking the light, it spilled out onto the table and gradually converged into a human shape.

Behind the dark clouds, a little moonlight shines down skillfully and skillfully.

The place blurred by the rain lit up a little ghostly red.

Yu Beizhou stood in the rain, his lips pursed. His hair and back were wet, and the black hair was stuck to the red shirt, like a decadent and coquettish mural.

The things in his arms were still dry, and the rain was not wet at all.

He has been standing for a long time, and he even used the Turtle Breathing Technique he learned from Guigu, so he didn't dare to get close to the roof. Because there was no movement, and the sound of rain covered it, the people in the house could not hear it.

The window lattice was silently pushed open a gap.

Perhaps sensing the cold wind, the candles in the house flickered a few times, on and off.

The outstretched hand paused for a while, perhaps because the wind would disturb the rest of the people in the house, or perhaps it was for other deeper reasons, and it stopped forever.

After a long time, a long time, until the candles were burnt out, the dark shadow on the table finally disappeared.

When Zong Luo faintly noticed and opened his eyes in confusion, there was only a wisp of smoke left on the table after the white candle went out.

The moonlight, accompanied by the refracted rainwater, fell to the window, where the seams were tightly and tightly closed, without any extra gaps.

He stared at the corner of the window, not sure if it was a dream.
