The crystal clear ice turned into pure white for some reason. It was originally clear and clear, but now it has a faint halo like white jade. In the end, Dugu Baitian, who was frozen, could not even see a trace of his shadow.
The hot weather did not show any sign of melting the solid ice, but the stems and leaves of nearby flowers and plants were covered with frost.
"Drive", "Drive"...
A dozen fast horses came flying from a distance.
"My lord, the war horse is dying. If we keep running like this, our war horse will die of exhaustion."
"What's more important is the lives of the horses or the fact that we're in a hurry. If I can't see my adoptive father for the last time, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
Immediately there were several generals, and one of them was a general in his thirties. He had thick eyebrows, leopard eyes, a straight nose, a straight mouth, a square chin, and a steel beard. He was majestic and had the demeanor of a famous general. Although he was in a hurry, his face was not bright.
There was no look of panic. The horse, which was quite impressive when sitting down, now looked tired and running slowly.
The people behind him were all heroic and extraordinary people, all of them were very young and looked to be in their twenties or seventies. They all had solemn faces with sad expressions on their faces.
"Sir, if we continue like this, sooner or later the horse will fall down and die on the way, which will waste time even more. By then, we really won't be able to see the old general for the last time." He choked up as he spoke.
"Stop." The thirty-year-old general dismounted first. "You are right. If you fight the enemy with the mentality I just had, you will definitely lose miserably. This kind of reckless impulse is the worst thing you have done to me today."
Although I really want to see my adoptive father right away, it is not realistic. We rest where we are and let the horses go to the river to drink water."
All the officers dismounted immediately, and even in this situation, they were uniform and well-trained.
These people led the horses to the river to let them drink water, and then took out dry food and water bottles to start eating.
"General, why don't you eat?"
"Oh! I can't eat it."
"Then why are you always like this along the way? You've already lost a lot of weight. If you continue like this, you won't be able to hold on."
"Yes, General. We also want to see the old general right away. Without the old general, we would not have our Qingfeng Empire. The old general is the father of everyone in our Qingfeng Empire. But there is no point in being anxious. You should eat something first."
"Why is this happening? My foster father devoted his whole life to serving the country, but he ended up being alone all his life. As a son of a man, why can't I be filial to him when he is critically ill? How can I not be sad? How can I not be ashamed? I am really
It's so useless. Why is there no way to cure the adoptive father's condition?" As he said this, the iron-blooded man burst into tears.
"General, what they said to the old general is already like this. It is an unchangeable fact, but you can't just be depressed! Although the continent seems calm on the surface and all countries are living in peace, there are undercurrents and the possibility of war breaking out at any time. If you have
A Qingfeng Empire with three advantages and two disadvantages would be in danger."
"General, you must cheer up! We are about to lose the empire's god of war, the old general. If you do this again..."
"General, please cheer up! The Moon Worshiping Empire is still evil and has been eyeing our country..."
"General..."

The general stood up and said: "Don't worry, I, Li Fang, will never just complain about myself. The future empire will rely on you, me, and all of us to defend it. My tears will only be in front of my relatives and my friends."
In front of the enemy, either he bleeds or I bleed! Defend the empire to the death!"
"Defend the empire to the death!" More than a dozen people shouted in unison.
"Okay, let's get on our way."
"General, what do you see over there?"
I saw a huge white jade stone glowing faintly in a patch of grass by the river.
Li Fang suddenly looked very excited and ran over in a hurry.
I saw that the flowers and plants around the white jade stone had been frozen by frost, and even a few flowers and plants next to the white jade stone had turned into ice sculptures.
The scene where everyone looked at each other was so strange. How could there be such a big piece of white jade here? And why did the white jade exude such a strong cold air that it froze the flowers and plants around it. It looked like a big ice cube, but it was so hot in the summer.
How can there be such a big ice cube on the sun? Even if it is an ice cube, it is impossible not to melt. It is really strange.
Li Fang slowly stretched out his hand to the white jade and gently stroked it as if stroking his own child. He looked so excited. He murmured: "Is it really the legendary white jade ice?
Could it really be the white jade ice that can cure my adoptive father's illness? Oh my god, have you really appeared? It's so good, haha..." He laughed excitedly as he spoke.
"General, can this piece of jade save the old general from his critical illness?"
Li Fang calmed down and said: "Yes, if this is really the legendary White Jade Ice, my adoptive father will be saved. Let me try it." As he said this, he stretched out his palms and used all his strength to face Bai Yuhan.
Ice shot away.
"Pong"
The white jade was not damaged at all and still had a faint halo. The strong wind from the palm destroyed the nearby flowers and plants.
Everyone was shocked. Li Fang was always known for his strong palm power in the army. How could it not be surprising that now he could not even break a piece of jade? At the same time, they understood that this piece of jade was definitely extraordinary.
Li Fang said excitedly: "It's really possible that it's the legendary White Jade Ice. Please hurry up and bring your war horses! I hope it comes in time."
Everyone led the horses over. Li Fang picked up Bai Yushi with all his strength, flew on the horse and said, "You only come here with three people and lead all the horses in order to replace the rest of the people on foot."
As he spoke, he took the lead in beating the horses and whipping them away. Behind them, the three young generals led all the horses together and followed closely, causing countless smoke and dust to rise on the road.
The war horse that Li Fang sat on was extremely fast even though it was carrying the weight of nearly three people. As if it understood the anxiety in its owner's heart, it galloped forward like lightning. The war horse ran for nearly forty miles and finally persisted.
Blood continued to pour out from his ears and nose, but the intensity did not decrease. Li Fang was in great pain and hurriedly stopped his mount and turned over to dismount. The magnificent horse looked at him for the last time, closed its eyes, and fell to the ground dead.
Tears rolled down Li Da's sad eyes.
The divine horse psychic completely overspent his life for his master. Even at the last moment before his death, he kept running forward without losing any speed and finally died of exhaustion.
Li Fang's heart twitched as he watched the horse fall. After running for days and nights, his speechless companion finally lost his last breath. He was full of guilt for the horse and turned to face the three young generals behind him.
The official said: "One of the three of you left behind to bury this horse for me. After saying that, he hugged the white jade and got on another horse and flew away.
The three young generals also felt a sense of sadness in their hearts. As soldiers, their feelings for horses are like friends. How can they not be sad now that they are watching the divine horse dying of exhaustion?
Li Fang galloped all the way, countless horses fell down from fatigue along the way, and finally saw the gate of Kaiyuan City. When the last horse fell to the ground, he hugged the white jade ice and started running wildly on the street. Pedestrians on the road
He looked at him in amazement. Who had seen such a big white jade stone and running wildly while being held by a man? Finally, he attracted the attention of the city guards, and several cavalrymen rushed towards him.
"People in front of you, stop here. We have something to ask you."
Li Fang stopped and waited for several cavalrymen to come to him. He suddenly stood up and kicked one of the cavalrymen off his horse. He flew up and ran wildly. There was chaos in the street. No one dared to cause trouble in Kaiyuan City, the first city of the Qingfeng Empire. Because
The lord of the city here is General Li Lin, the hero of the empire. Everyone in the empire respects him as a god. Who would run wild in his city? This man not only beat the guard but also shot his horse, which immediately caused a commotion.
Li Fang ignored the commotion behind him and galloped all the way to the city lord's mansion. When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he dismounted from his horse and hugged the white jade ice. He ran wildly inside and shouted: "No one can stop me. It's Li Fang, I'm here to save you."
My adoptive father is here."
Although Li Fang has been away from home for many years, most people still know him and help him lead the way. No one stopped him along the way and he went straight to the backyard. I saw that the courtyard was full of people with official hats on their heads.
Princes and nobles; city lords from various places wearing armor; presidents of famous guilds and heads of aristocratic families; and people from all kinds of martial arts circles. Almost all people from all walks of life were present.
Among these people, there were some whom Li Fang knew and some who he didn't even bother to say hello to them and went straight to the closed door. When he was still some distance away from the door, he suddenly heard a sad and beautiful sound coming from inside.
Sing softly:
"The rose that withers every day
The bright moon leaves, green, fresh and bright
Like a crazy queen in the birch forest...
I smiled slightly and she leaned over and kissed me.
And take my heart away and roll it in the blue sky!
Put a crown of stars on it and sway it in your arms
Guarding it on the clouds and reflecting its image on the water...
Place it among the rose bushes to imbue it with rose scent
Place it without emotion into the boundless emptiness!
Give it mild, transparent and golden color
When dawn brings it back to my bleeding chest
My heart is like a sad baby
As moist and fragrant as the sleepy stars..."
Li Fang burst into tears. Isn't this one of his adoptive father's favorite songs? Whenever his adoptive father misses his adoptive mother, he will hum these songs. Who is humming sadly here?
