For generals such as Zhao Changyuan and Cao Rui who fought on the battlefield, they had already subconsciously developed the awareness that if they died in a foreign land, no one would be able to collect their bodies. They were used to seeing life and death without Zhao, and seeing corpses everywhere. So.
Compared to the people who were searching for Zhao, they took the events after their death very lightly. As the saying goes - "loyal bones are buried everywhere in the mountains, why return them wrapped in horse leather".
But after all, Lu Ranqing is still a commoner of Zhao, and she is an emotional woman: "But what do you think we should do? Just leave our ancestors here and let the Liao people trample on them? To tell you the truth, even if I am willing, those outside
Even the desperate believers won’t agree. If you don’t believe me, you can ask them. Buried underneath are their masters, masters’ masters, how can they be abandoned?”
Zhao Changyuan sighed deeply and said with regret: "I understand that if it were not sincere, no one would be so desperate."
Zhao Changyuan was speechless for a moment. As the highest military commander of the dynasty (Zhao Xiong and Yang Guodong belong to the highest military affairs minister), he did not have much military command authority. Wei Tingyue used to be able to compete with Zhao Changyuan in terms of military command authority, but was defeated by Pan Zhuqing.
He is by no means the kind of passionate young man who is easily impulsive. What's more, he still has his wife by his side, so he will not let himself get involved too deeply. But he knows that his master, Cao
Rui will definitely not stay out of the situation. When the enemy is in front of him, should he take his wife and companions to withdraw to the Central Plains to make plans, or stay and fight alongside his master? How should he choose?
The sun completely set within the horizon, and the human wall a few miles away replaced the resting believers in the tower. When they appeared in everyone's sight, they were covered with wounds and exhausted, and they fell on the sand one after another.
Fall asleep.
Gong Yueyue helped the female believers, walked to everyone, and replenished some life-saving water and food for them. Looking at the faces covered with blood, and even the facial features could not be clearly identified, she felt sad.
Whose sons, whose husbands, and whose hearts are these people? Thinking of this, she inadvertently turned her head to look at Zhao Changyuan, but she happened to meet his burning eyes.
Their eyes were locked in the air for a long time. He suddenly walked towards her and sat side by side on the floor in front of her. Then he held her cold hand, leaned into her ear and whispered softly: "I will never make concessions again."
That’s what you’re worried about.”
A cloud of confusion hangs over everyone's heads, especially for reinforcements such as Zhao Changyuan and Gong Yueyue who came from afar. The current situation is indeed better than they expected, but they all know that if it continues like this, things will become worse.
It will definitely develop to the worst ending. Even if you spend the last drop of blood, you will not be able to protect this gem in the desert.
Several people sat beside a bonfire and were silent for a long time. He Yong sighed repeatedly: "Oh, I didn't expect that we would encounter such an embarrassing situation."
The evil young man couldn't help but ask Zhao Changyuan: "Big White Goose, do you have any other ideas?"
"I have no idea." Zhao Changyuan said truthfully.
"If it doesn't work out, I'll find a way to steal the mechanism key. It's what I'm good at anyway." This was the only way the evil young man could think of.
But he was immediately rejected by Zhao Changyuan: "No, not to mention that going deep into the enemy's army means a narrow escape, and besides, that person named Gu is not an ordinary person. I am not his opponent in a single battle, and you must have no chance."
Leader Gu's kung fu is not superior to that of Zhao Changyuan and Bad Young Master, otherwise he would not have been defeated by Cao Rui. But there are many minions around this guy, all of whom use weird kung fu, such as hidden weapons as thin as hair, and incredible Gu
Poison, Zhao Changyuan had been harmed by it, and he was inevitably a little frightened during the battle.
The evil young man said disapprovingly: "But if I don't try my best, how do I know there is no chance?"
Gong Yueyue, who had been silent until now, looked at him sideways and said, "Don't even think about trying your best. Don't forget, you promised Ruotong that you would go back to see her alive. I will keep an eye on you."
, I will never let you make a fool of yourself."
The evil young man only regretted that he spoke too quickly. Once he spoke out his words, the white goose couple would definitely stare at him without any gaps.
He Yong suddenly put forward a more constructive suggestion: "How about we get some explosives and blow up the stone gate!"
The eyes of Bad Young Master and Gong Yueyue lit up, and they both seemed to agree. But Zhao Changyuan still shook his head and said, "I proposed it, but Aunt Qing didn't agree because she was afraid of hurting the bones of our ancestors."
The evil young man turned to Gong Yueyue and asked: "I remember that you seem to know how to use explosives, especially how to control the weight, right?"
She sighed and piled the sand in front of her into an ice cream shape: "Then I also need to know the structure of the inside and outside of the stone chamber. There were such detailed drawings last time, what do we have this time?"
The evil young man fell back in despair, resting his head on his hands, looking at the sky in confusion: "But this won't work, and that won't work either. I can only watch them all die together."
"I'm afraid that the jade is burned, but the smelly stones are still there..." He Yong is known as "Little Yang Jinyi" in the army. It's not that they look alike, but like Yang Erlang, he has a slightly irritable temper and speaks a bit straight. Now.
Now in this harsh place, faced with such an embarrassing situation, he naturally couldn't say anything nice. "You think this woman is so difficult to take care of when she gets offended?"
After hearing what he said, Gong Yueyue immediately stopped: "Tsk, it sounds like you men are easy to take care of." No matter when and where, we must not slack off in safeguarding the dignity of women.
He Yong also immediately retorted with a smile: "Hey, you are wrong. No matter how stupid we men are, no matter how bad-tempered we are, there will always be someone who can control us. Look at your second brother, how fierce he is on the surface.
It seems that as soon as his wife cried, he immediately surrendered. Look at General Cao, then look at our ready-made one..." At the end of the sentence, he pursed his lips with a playful smile and looked at Zhao Changyuan.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gong Yueyue and Zhao Changyuan both turned to look at him, making him immediately dumbfounded and hesitantly explaining: "Uh... I just said that casually, as an analogy, as a joke.
, you don’t have to stare at me like that..."
"We have a solution!" "We have an idea!" the Big White Goose couple shouted in unison, so scared that the bad boy jumped up from the sand.
Half an hour later, Gong Yueyue and Zhao Changyuan were huddled in a dilapidated and small tent.
She put the pieces together on his face, breathing between them. Seeing her rare and meticulous serious expression, he felt happy, pouted his lips and kissed her... half of the beard he had just put on fell off.
"Don't move around." She couldn't laugh or cry when she saw that his beard was hanging from his lips. "You look like this, I really want to..."
"What do you want?" He brought his face close to hers until their noses touched. "Do you like it very much?"
"I really want to beat you up." She said with a smile.
"Why?" he asked puzzled.
"Because you look like those little Japs in many TV series."
She immediately grabbed his hand and said, "Don't move. If it doesn't stick for a while, it will be embarrassing if it falls off."
After struggling for a while, Zhao Changyuan finally got free. There were no bronze mirrors around, but he was curious about what he looked like now. "How is it? Does it look like it?"
Gong Yueyue looked him up and down carefully. Finally, she put her hands on his shoulders and said firmly and gently: "To be honest, let me see, you are a man in his early twenties and a man in his forties."
Compared with a ten-year-old man, there is definitely a big difference. His eyes, skin condition, temperament... But fortunately, the image of your father that left the most profound impression on Aunt Qing was also around twenty years old.
Even if they met briefly last time, the intense emotions of meeting again after a long absence will greatly reduce her cognitive ability. So, you have to have confidence that you are now your father, and you are Aunt Qing's first love Zhao Xiong."
Zhao Changyuan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy: "But do you think you can really convince her? This is not an easy matter after all. Even if I talk to the master, I can't shake her in the slightest." Poor Cao Rui almost burst into tears when he said it.
There is nothing he can do about his savage girlfriend.
Gong Yueyue dusted her hands and looked determined to win: "But your father's status in her mind is by no means an easy one."
"How do you know?" he asked puzzledly.
"It's obvious. Don't you know, dad stood at the door for a few seconds that day, and Aunt Qing even forgot how to breathe. And the way she looked at you when she was helping you heal your wounds, this is really hard to deceive.
Could it be that she has a crush on you?" She remembered that in her impression, Lu Ranqing had never looked at Cao Rui with the same look.
Zhao Changyuan sighed deeply, with a sad expression on his face: "My master is so pitiful, and it is in vain that he is so infatuated with Aunt Qing." It makes me sad just thinking about it.
Gong Yueyue also suppressed her smile at this time, and felt a slight chill in her heart. "How many people in this world can get to the end with the person they love most? Most of them are with the person they love second, and the person they love the most.
People forget each other in the rivers and lakes."
She casually muttered to herself, but Zhao Changyuan heard it very harshly. He immediately glared and retorted coldly: "What are you talking about? People are not flowers and trees. How can people who love each other forget each other?"
Seeing that he was so serious, Gong Yueyue knew that she had touched his back again. She quickly smiled and hugged his neck, coaxing softly: "I just said this, don't get excited, at least we two are still very good.
Lucky, isn't it?"
The stiff expression on his face softened, and he hugged her waist and touched her forehead. "Well, you're right. I don't care about others, at least I'm with the person I love most, and that's enough.
."
"Me too."
The evil young man smiled even more proudly: "I am originally a thief, and you don't know it. We have always been together, and we have forgotten each other in the world? What do you think of that person named Jiang? It makes me sad just thinking about it." (To be continued)
