Fei Ze ordered someone to light a fire in the yard, and he sat by the fire and read a book. It was not until midnight that Zeng Jian followed the special forces back to Tongze City and had not returned to his room to rest.
"Teacher, aren't you tired in the middle of the night?" Zeng Jian immediately came up to stir the firewood, increase the intensity of the fire, and raise the temperature around Fei Ze.
"Everyone will be tired. You will be tired when you climb over the wall and enter the city. You will be tired when the enemy is defeated and run away. Your companions who are chasing the enemy will be tired. I will be tired here monitoring the weather conditions. However, those who are really tired are those who cannot control their body and mind.
." Fei Ze closed the book and placed it on the small coffee table next to him.
"A person who can't control his body and mind?" Zeng Jian thought, trying to understand the meaning.
Fei Ze stood up, stretched his muscles by the fire, took a few breaths, and said: "You and I can act according to our own wishes. Whether we are tired or not is our own choice, and it is completely under our control. However, those deserters,
Their fate is in the hands of their pursuers, and their escape is forced and not controlled by their own will."
"Oh, I understand, teacher." Zeng Jian suddenly said.
"You don't fully understand!" Fei Ze looked into his disciple's eyes, "The knowledge here is very deep. Sometimes you feel that you control your body and mind, but in fact you are being controlled secretly and you don't know it. Just like a teacher sometimes has to
Acting against one’s own will.”
"Ah?" Zeng Jian was confused.
"Body and mind are everything in your life. Don't worry, you can spend your whole life realizing it." Fei Ze chuckled and sat down to read again.
"Why don't I just ask you if you are tired? As for bringing it into my life?" Zeng Jian muttered to himself.
Huh, a gust of cold wind blew by, causing the firelight to sway wildly. Zeng Jian had to summon his fighting spirit to resist, and Fei Ze raised his head.
"Xiaojian, look at the snowflakes above?" Fei Ze looked serious.
Zeng Jian hurriedly looked up. The stars with only faint light were blocked by clouds. The night sky was pitch black, but something seemed to be floating.
"It seems so." He thought of his hometown, Black Earth City, and would warm himself over the fire with his grandfather in the Knights Guild.
"Okay, you go to the City Lord's Mansion immediately to inform Master Zhong that you can start taking action." Fei Ze's eyes became sharp.
At the same time, Ding Kui walked out of the room and stretched toward the sky, "Come down, the earth will soon be covered in silver."
Before he finished speaking, a black shadow fell from above his head, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder.
"Damn it, Brother Yu, stop making trouble." Ding Kui quickly took a big step sideways.
The black shadow stopped strangely and suddenly at a height of more than one meter above the ground. Several soldiers rushed nearby. Only when they saw clearly that the black shadow was Ao Yu did they stop and return to their posts muttering something.
"I finally understand why humans are afraid of the cold." Ao Yu jumped to the ground lightly.
"Nonsense, human blood is hot, so of course it's afraid of cold." Ding Kui raised his head and looked at the sky, "Is this snow heavy?" He didn't care about Ao Yu's new discovery.
"You are wrong! The reason why humans are afraid of cold is because their defense is too low, allowing the cold to invade the body easily, which will affect their blood. Look," Ao Yu rolled up his sleeves, "My skin, Lin
Armor can insulate against cold."
"Okay, okay, you're right!" Ding Kui had to deal with Ao Yu, "I wonder if the snow will be heavy?"
"Snow," Ao Yu touched his nose, "How does it count as big?" He had no idea about this.
Ding Kui really wanted to punch Qinglong in the nose and said: "If it can cover the ankle when it falls to the ground, it is considered big, but if it can only cover the top of the foot, it is medium." He could only give Qinglong a standard.
"That's a big deal, is it what you want?" Qinglong is more accurate than the weather forecast, and their perception of the water system is very accurate.
"Oh, well, one thing I want to tell you is that according to you, humans are not afraid of the cold because they know how to wear clothes and armor to increase their defense." Ding Kui gave Ao Yu a small blow.
Ao Yu's eyes began to dull. Was his perception in the clouds that night wrong?
"Come here." Ding Kui picked up a torch from the brazier.
"Here." Lu Ying, wearing a cloak, ran over.
"Command the entire army to prepare to set off!" Ding Kui finished speaking and walked to the open space outside.
…
Yu Di warmly entertained Yan Ce and Kou Zimo in the military town. He did not hesitate to break military regulations and bring out fine wine, and even asked people to find beautiful women among the refugees to keep them company. His flattery was beyond words.
With these two masters, the safety of the army or him is guaranteed. The unbeatable names such as Ding Kui, Ao Yu, Xie Peng and others put too much pressure on him. Yan Ce and Kou Zimo's
Coming here helped relieve him of a lot of stress.
Yan Ce first asked about Xie Peng's situation in detail, because this forbidden magician had never fought against them before, and he would definitely fight against them in the future, so he wanted to find out first.
"You are a dual practitioner of both anger and fire. He is a difficult character. Zimo, if you have the chance, kill Xie Peng first. He is the fastest and the greatest threat!" Yan Ce gave Kou Zimo a look.
Kou Zimo understood. With Xie Peng here, it would be difficult for them to escape. If they lost this time, they would not be able to retreat as calmly as they did last time.
"This man is very cunning. I have studied his information and found that he, like Ding Kui, always likes to carry out sneak attacks and often attacks others behind their backs.
Like last time in Nanqiu County of Shaodian Kingdom, when Master Ban led the troops to attack the city, he ran to the back camp and set fire to it, refusing to confront Master Ban head-on." Yudi specifically investigated Xie Peng.
"Why do Shaodian Kingdom always produce such masters who don't care about face?" Kou Zimo said angrily, as if he would not attack others secretly.
"Stinky ditches bring out stinky mud," Yan Ce said as a proverb from his country, "Ding Kui and Xie Peng really have the same odors, and it would be fitting for them to be friends."
They were teasing their opponents without scruples, and a staff officer quietly walked into the hall, came to Yudi's side, and said: "Yushuai, it's snowing."
Yan Ce smiled even more when he heard this, "It's better to attack in sunny weather and to defend in snowy weather. It just so happens that the commander-in-chief's order is to prevent you from leaving. Congratulations." Those malicious eyes looked at the woman beside him.
Yudi smiled and said: "Master Yan's words are right, God help me. Go and inform the people below, don't let up, and be careful to prevent the enemy from making a sneak attack in the snow."
He did not let down his guard, knowing that Ding Kui could do anything, and the snow could not stop a man who was keen on sneak attacks.
Snowflakes bigger than goose feathers danced in the air with the wind, wandering around trying to hug their companions, but their naughty companions always flashed past, making the sky full of white shadows.
The heavy snow fell as expected, bringing an even colder winter night. Ordinary people closed their doors and hid in their homes to keep warm. No one wanted to come out to endure the cold. However, some people walked out of the wild at this time. They came out.
Changing of sentries.
They came to a small forest.
"Password!" someone shouted in the woods.
"Pull out the nails." "Tear down the shed."
A group of soldiers shivering from the cold walked out of the woods, and the two groups of Chinese sentries completed the handover and changing of guard.
Not far away, hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at the woods. One of them, a tall man, spat, "How childish! Pull out nails (D)? Demolish sheds (Peng)? Aren't you trying to mess with Brother Xie and me?
.”
This person is none other than Ding Kui! He really led an army to attack Yu Di’s military town at night!
He said to the people around him: "Do you hear me clearly?"
"Don't worry, sir, I won't let those scouts die happily." Ding Cai led his men as an advance team, responsible for pulling out his own sentry posts.
Ding Kui still used the old tactics, relying on his strong mental power to pull out the enemy's outposts, and after approaching the enemy's camp, launched a strong attack. He first tore a hole in the defense line, and then penetrated directly into the enemy's command center.
"Enemy, enemy!" Before the gate guard could shout the next word, a crossbow arrow was inserted into his throat, and he would never be able to shout the word "attack".
A large number of black shadows suddenly appeared in front of the gate of the military town. Accurate crossbow arrows kept naming the defending soldiers, and a red light flew in. Then there was a deafening cry of killing.
"Fuck!" Yan Ce stopped shaking his lower body, quickly stood up, jumped out of bed, and looked for his clothes.
There was a woman huddled in the quilt on the bed, her eyes bloodshot and lifeless.
At this time, Yudi ran out of the barracks. His clothes and armor were a little messy. He grabbed a soldier and asked, "What happened?"
The soldier pointed to the east and said: "I don't know what I am doing, but there are killing sounds coming from the town."
Kou Zimo jumped out from the darkness, holding a long bow in his hand, and said to Yudi: "I'm going to take a look, you guys just stay here and don't move."
"Kill! Capture Yudi alive, he will be promoted and make a fortune!" Suddenly, the sound of killing came from the west.
Yudi turned his head and stared in the direction of Matu City, and said in his mouth: "Have the defenders in the city come out too?"
The snowflakes in the sky are getting denser and denser, the outdoor temperature has plummeted, and the cold wind blowing in through the crack of the door is like a knife shaving his face. The soldier who has just put on his armor is hesitant to open the door or go back and add more clothes.
The defenders on the west side of the military town were even more miserable. The wind and snow seemed to have eyes, blowing on them, and from time to time they were mixed with wind blade storms.
That's right, "Xie Peng" is here, wearing an aqua cape, a wizard's hat, and a crystal staff.
Under his command, the infantry regiment stormed the north gate of the military town.
The special operations group returned to the city to take over the defense. Zhong Wei personally led two infantry regiments and two crossbow regiments out of the city, and with the assistance of "Xie Peng" made a sneak attack on Yudi's camp.
"Xie Peng's" fighting style is in the same vein as Ding Kui's. All the overt and covert sentinels set up by his army were killed before they could react, and they didn't know how they died.
Zhong Wei felt a little strange in his heart: Master Xie is angry today? He has always been stern, indifferent to everyone, and very indifferent. Could it be that one of us has offended him?
If Lei Feixiang followed him out, he would definitely be able to tell at a glance that this "Xie Peng" was fake, and he might even recognize him as Ruan Xingzhu.
However, it doesn't matter whether "Xie Peng" speaks or not. The infantry regiment will charge wherever his magic hits, and the crossbowmen will shoot when they find the target. The mixed 1st division still fights in an orderly manner.
Xie Peng's true form has already entered the east gate of the military town, followed by the mixed 5th division, rushing unstoppably towards the center of the town.
Whoosh whoosh, Ding Kui's ears twitched and he heard it clearly. He grabbed an enemy soldier and blocked it in front of him. He looked up at a roof and said, "That arrow is so familiar. Is that Kou Zimo who specializes in demolishing human ancestral halls? Is that there?"
