After breakfast, except for Liusu who stayed behind in Zhuolangbao, the rest of the group returned to our own assignment. The twenty-eight Sus under Wan Qixu all had their own strengths, either in business or being the leader of a martial arts sect.
, or making a living in a restaurant, they can all stand out on their own. Wanqixun is indifferent in nature, and has never forced them to work at any time. Instead, they are allowed to do the industry they like according to their abilities.
In this way, Zhuolang Fort will not only occupy a place in various fields, but also increase the overall strength. It is reasonable for Zhuolang Fort to become the number one fort in the world. In short, as long as there is an emergency in Zhuolang Fort, regardless of where they are.
Wherever you are, we will arrive as soon as possible.
After the last incident of Mai Mai being kidnapped, Wan Qixun had strictly prohibited her from leaving the fort. Unless he was with her, Mai Mai's range of activities could only be Zhuolang Fort. To this, Mai Mai shouted in protest.
. She is not a cat or a dog, so how can she be banned just because she is banned? She knows very well that this will be the critical moment for the full-scale confrontation between Yanbei and Qisa, and no mistakes are allowed to happen. After the protest is ineffective, she will be old.
Stay in the fort honestly.
At noon, Lousu received news that Qisa's 800,000-strong army had marched northward at 9 o'clock this morning. Wan Qiqing was leading the expedition in person, and Wan Qiyan was temporarily acting as government official in Jiangcheng.
Wan Qiqing led an army of 800,000, which can be said to be the majority of Qisa's troops, and Ancheng was definitely in emptiness. After learning about the promise of King Yan to Mai Mai in disguise, he cleverly ordered King Yan to garrison. God of War Yan
The king is by no means a wasted name. With him guarding Jiangcheng, it will be difficult for others to take advantage of it and attack it in one fell swoop. This also allows Wan Qiqing to have no worries and can lead the army with all his strength.
On the contrary, since the grassland is so large and mostly populated by nomads, he will not rashly send troops to attack and occupy it.
This battle between Yan and Qi will definitely begin with a head-on confrontation.
The Yanbei army was ready to go, waiting for Wanqiu's order. The military strength of the Yanbei Kingdom was comparable to that of the Qisa Dynasty. Although it was a country that had grown up rapidly in just five years, it had a strong army and horses that should not be underestimated. But now Qisa Dynasty
Tiandu has been taken over and as a vassal state, Tiandu will provide troops, material and financial resources unconditionally. In this battlefield, the balance has already tilted.
For the horseback people who are brave and good at fighting, they know it is inevitable and do it. War brings challenges and honors to these warriors. There is nothing more meaningful than defending their homeland in the name of men.
Wan Qixun used the military map he drew when he was possessed as a blueprint. Based on this, he made some minor changes based on the actual situation. The troops were scheduled to be dispatched at Yinshi the next day.
Judging from the marching speed and direction of the Qisa Army, it can be inferred that they will meet at Anxia Valley in the future. For the Qisa Army, they must be in urgent need of rest and recuperation as they rush forward day and night. Therefore, they can take this opportunity to launch an attack first.
Wan Qixun sent Kang Su to lead 3,000 men and horses, and first rushed to Anxia Valley to ambush. Then he would lead an army of 600,000 to meet them.
He and Mai Mai had been separated from each other and could not spend a few days at ease. This time, they had to be separated again just one day after returning to the fort. After Wan Qihuang arranged everything, he returned to Zhuolang Fort. This time he too
He had to lead the army himself. Even though he didn't like fighting, he and his fourth brother would face this outcome sooner or later. As the monarchs of two countries, this battle was inevitable for the fourth brother who wanted to pacify the world.
Perhaps, there is another most important reason, but they are unwilling to mention it.
Mai Mai stayed in Zhuolang Castle and spent the day with the saints in white. After hearing that Wan Qihuan had returned to the castle, she immediately ran to the front hall happily. When she walked in, she saw him giving instructions to Yi Su.
Everyone's expressions were very serious. She was attentive and did not come forward to disturb them, but just stayed aside quietly.
When Yi Su and others saw her, they all wisely exited.
Wan Qixun smiled and stretched out his hand to take her, "You've been in the castle all day, do you want to ride a horse?"
"Yeah," Mai Mai's eyes were bright and she nodded quickly, "I think so."
The grassland in March is not as warm and humid as in the south, nor is it as lively as the grass grows and the orioles fly. Looking at it, it is all withered and yellow, and the occasional gust of wind and sand looks violent and manic, making people unable to open their eyes. But the wind
After stopping, the sky here is still blue, and the floating clouds are so white that they are spotless, until the blue is replaced by the red sky, and the grassland under the sunset becomes charming again.
Two fast horses, one black and one white, galloped past, leaving traces of flying horses on the beautiful and peaceful scene in front of them.
The white horse is very competitive, and it leads the woman on the horse to run excitedly in front. The black horse always follows closely behind it, not far, not close, keeping a certain distance. The woman smiles happily
The sound carries the warmth of late spring and March, echoing on the grassland waiting to wake up.
That is what he cherishes most and is most precious.
Tired, they stopped. The two horses enjoyed the vastness comfortably. As they ran, the manes on their necks jumped gracefully and happily.
"Hey, listen, they are talking." Mai Mai raised his head and closed his eyes, with an intoxicating smile on his lips, standing on the grassland and listening.
"What are they talking about?" He looked at her childish behavior with smiling eyes.
"They said that this will always be our home. Everyone who lives here must defend it. Even if we are separated because of this, it will only be temporary, because it will bless these kind people." Open your eyes.
, looked at him softly, "Some things are unavoidable. If tranquility is what you need to strive for, then go all out."
She looked gentle and quiet under the setting sun, and her pair of quiet eyes could see into every corner of him. Her long hair dancing in the wind set off graceful arcs, and each strand of hair was like pampas grass, entangled in his heart,
Slim but tough.
He lowered his eyes and softened his cheeks. Sometimes she was so strong that it made him feel sad. She could throw herself into his arms, shouting that she couldn't bear to leave, and she didn't want to be separated. That was also a wife's right. But Hui Zhilan's heart-warming girl stood there.
Think about it and see it from his perspective. Sometimes, he really wishes that she was a delicate woman. At least, he would not abuse his heart so much.
"Stay at Zhuolang Fort with peace of mind. This battle may take some time. Promise me, no matter what happens in the battle ahead, you are not allowed to participate."
Mai Mai stared at him and took a step forward, her eyes full of temptation, "Are you sure you don't need me, a handsome woman who once defeated many with less and was famous all over the world, to take action?"
"Haha," Wan Qixun was amused by her and laughed, "If you still need your wife to fight in battle, then what's the use of me as a husband?"
"That's right." Mai Mai nodded matter-of-factly. The somewhat sad atmosphere before was diluted a lot. She believed that he would return triumphantly and there would be no need for him to be separated for life or death.
Looking at his smile that could enchant all living beings, Mai Mai lost her mind for a moment without restraint. It is undeniable that her husband, the king of Yanbei, is indeed very handsome, but the star who ordered the massacre of three thousand soldiers was like a
The messenger from hell is terrifying.
In the end, which one is the real him?
Mai Mai's gaze made Wan Qixun a little funny, and the undisguised surprise in his eyes made him question his identity as a man.
"Why do you keep staring at me?"
Mai Mai's eyes were a little obsessed, and she asked in a low voice, "狁, I've always wanted to ask, do you know that you are beautiful?" (Bio, after writing for so long, Shadow is extremely curious about this question.)
Wan Qi was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled and put his arms around Mai Mai, "So what, it's just a pile of dust in a few decades."
If this can be considered dust, it is definitely a high-quality one.
"However," Wan Qixun changed the subject, a hint of enchantment escaped from his eyebrows, "If it makes you like it, I would be grateful."
Does this amount to indirect admission?
Before it got dark, the two returned to Zhuolangbao. Everyone was very considerate and ordered dinner to be delivered to Cuixiao Residence so that the couple could spend more time alone together, while they set up a table in the front yard.
There was an open-air banquet. On the wine table, whether they were drinking and guessing, making drinks, singing and dancing, everyone was enjoying the last warmth before the war.
Wan Qixu handed over Zhuolang Fort to the steady Yi Su, and assigned another 30,000 soldiers to him just in case. He also ordered Ah Shang to lead the white-clothed saints to protect Mai Mai at all times, and the rest of the Four Sus should follow him.
Soldiers set out for battle.
Gui Su was still shouting with the saints in white, and listened to Zhen Su's murmurings from time to time. Lou Su choreographed another impromptu dance, which tortured the guards to the point of moaning. Yi Su tasted a few drinks and told them not to do it at any time.
He was too greedy to drink and missed the business. After three rounds of drinking, Yi Sufang urged everyone to disperse quickly and have a good rest to prepare for the expedition tomorrow morning.
Gui Su spotted Xin Ye walking in front of him, and regardless of the threatening glances of the people next to him, he pulled her over and said, "Come with me."
"Hey, where are you going?" Xin Ye's cheeks turned red and she glared at him displeasedly, but did not take out her arm. As Gui Su walked around to the quiet east courtyard, she struggled slightly and said, "Something's wrong
?"
Gui Su smiled "hehe", took out something wrapped in red cloth from his arms, and stuffed it into her coolly, "Hey, this is for you."
"Tch, why should I collect your things?" Although Xinye was disdainful, he still curiously opened the red cloth. When he saw what was inside, Xinye froze for a moment, raised his head and looked at it as if asking.
He said, "This is..."
"Is it touched? Is it unexpected?" Gui Su raised his eyebrows proudly, "This is the one I carved best. How about it? Does it look like you? It has sharp teeth and a sharp and sarcastic charm. Is it penetrating?
?”
In Xinye's hand was a statue of a woman carved from wood, and he was carving none other than her.
"You think this is the best one? How many have you carved?" Xinye asked keenly.
"A few dozen," Guisu waved his hand, "Oh, who still remembers those? Tell me, do you like them?"
Looking at his proud and expectant expression, Xinye felt that his chest was filled with something. Holding the wood carving in his hand, Xinye nodded, "It's not a bad job."
"What, isn't it terrible?!" Guisu shouted dissatisfied, "I showed it to Kang and the others, and they knew it was you at a glance. It looks so similar, so you should say it's very good."
Xin Ye stroked her forehead with a headache. She finally knew why they covered their mouths and snickered when they saw her.
