Heroes of the Fantasy World

(5)

It was an earth-shattering discovery. On the vast plains, a cavalry regiment of more than thousands people appeared out of thin air. They were well-equipped and well-trained, with bright flags and the word "Qi" written in red.

The gate of Weizhou City slowly opened, and the Beizhen spies who were lying in ambush around it had already seen it with their own eyes. They remembered what happened to the coalition forces of Zhou and Qi in their hearts, and then rushed back to resume their duties without stopping.

When the people of Beizhen learned of this, a full month had passed since the formal alliance between Zhou and Qi.

The soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty on the watchtower on the city wall saw these Beizhen spies panicking, beating drums and singing songs on the city wall, and tried their best to laugh at them.

The secret march was initially successful.

The commander of the garrison, Weizhou Prefect Shao Ziru, received a letter from Yu Wenxuan three days in advance. He learned that Gao Jiajun was coming, and specially organized a banquet to entertain him.

Shao Ziru had not been a frontline officer before, and it could even be said that he was not even a soldier.

As a Sogdian merchant from Taxkorgan in the Western Region, his father married a Turkic princess to the Zhou Kingdom as a servant to maintain ties with the Central Plains, and then married a Han woman in the Zhou Kingdom and started a business. Before Shao Ziru came to Weizhou, he had been staying in Liangzhou, which was far away from the war, and worked as a minor official under the governor of Liangzhou without any martial arts skills.

He is naturally kind and tactful, and even though he has a foreign face, he will not make people feel bad.

"I have admired the name of Gao Jiajun for a long time, and seeing him today is really eye-opening!"

Gao Gao held the battle helmet in his hand, followed by two generals, and asked freely: "Who are you, your Excellency?"

"I'm here with Shao Ziru, the prefect of Weizhou."

"I don't know him. Where did he come from? Are there no people in Zhou who are good at fighting?" Gao Gao said rudely: "I have been fighting with Zhou people for many years and I have never heard of this name."

Seeing Gao Gao's vulgar words, Yu Wenxuan immediately stepped forward and replied: "General Gao, we are the backup for this battle. In order to prevent the morale of the army from being unstable, we specially transferred a group of new soldiers and an official who has never been on the battlefield. Shao Ziru is not good at military strategy, but he is good at internal affairs."

Shao Ziru echoed: "Please calm down, General Gao. Your Majesty has no intention of being timid."

"Where is Yang Zhong?" Gao Gao continued to ask, "Where is your General Yang Zhong?"

Yu Wenxuan smiled helplessly and said: "General Gao still doubts us? Hahaha, general, please rest assured. General Yang is currently quelling the rebellion on the border of the Western Region and has no time to come here. We, the Great Zhou Dynasty, will not and cannot do the same thing as 'building plank roads openly and secretly destroying Chencang'" This is a trick, this war is related to the life and death of the people of the Central Plains and the world. I hope the generals will put aside their past grudges and fight against the barbarians together!"

"As expected of Mr. Yuwen, he is truly a man of great righteousness." Gao Gao handed the helmet to someone else and bowed his hands in respect: "It is Gao Gao who has the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman."

Yu Wenxuan also quickly raised his hands and replied: "How dare you?"

After that, all the soldiers camped and stayed outside the city, leaving only the officers of the Gao family army to enter the city to attend the banquet.

Shao Ziru warmly invited everyone to take a seat. Almost at the same time, Yu Wenxuan's follower Zhu Tian hurried over.

Seeing him whispering to his master, Yu Wenxuan immediately got angry and said: "We just ordered the troops, and the Gao family's army is missing two thousand people?! General Bai Feng is also missing. Can General Gao explain to us?"

Gao Gao pretended to be profound and said: "Master Yuwen, General Bai Feng is here to perform military duties. We don't have to wait for him to sit down. We just wait for the good news from the front. Come, drink!"

Yu Wenxuan drank the bitter wine half-heartedly: "Dadian, is Murong Yan in the camp?" He covered his mouth and whispered.

"Murong Yan is not here either, but the boy named 'A Ke' is still in the camp." Zhu Dian replied.

Yu Wenxuan said: "Find her and try to find out something about her."

After Zhu Dian heard this, he resigned.

The moon is coming, and the shadows are alone.

Yu Ke was still cleaning up the camp tent, trying to set up a warm bed for Murong Yan who had not returned yet. All kinds of worries and concerns never stopped flooding her heart, but she could only believe in him. Suddenly, a huge figure appeared at the door.

"who is it?!"

Yu Ke's sensitive mind immediately became frightened. She rushed to the place where the sword was stored and unsheathed it.

"Don't come here, or I'll be rude to you!"

The man stood in front of Yu Ke like a mountain. He couldn't see his appearance clearly. He asked emotionlessly: "Master Yuwen sent me to say hello. If you need help, just ask."

"Master Yuwen?" Yu Ke continued to point at the opponent before putting down his sword: "What's your name?"

"Zhu Tian, ​​I'm just a servant like you." Zhu Tian stooped and walked into the camp. His face was illuminated by the lights. He showed a simple and honest image with small eyes and thick lips. However, he was too tall.

Yu Ke is like a chick facing a coyote in front of the other party. As long as the coyote is not full of food and drink, he can swallow the chick in one bite. Therefore, she has not put down her weapon for a long time, even though she can't hide her nervousness at all.

"Who...who is like you." She said.

Zhu Dian said: "Isn't Miss Ake the slave of General Bai Feng?"

Yu Ke replied decisively: "Sister Murong said that I am their family member."

"Family... hum." Zhu Dian thought thoughtfully, and then squatted down in front of Yu Ke in a friendly manner, so that she did not have to raise her head to continue the confrontation: "I dare to ask Miss A Ke, do you know why Bai Feng and Murong Yan left Beizhen? ?"

Seeing his smiling face, Yu Ke slowly lowered his guard: "Leaving... Beizhen? I don't know much about what happened in the past."

"You don't even know their past, what kind of 'family' are you?" Zhu Dian moved his fingers and easily moved Yu Ke's sword from in front of him to the side, and continued: "Miss A Ke, you really don't need me. help?"

Yu Ke dropped his sword feebly, lowered his head and did not answer.

"Oh, it seems you really don't know anything." Zhu Dian picked up the sword for her, stood up and prepared to go out: "If you need help, don't show off alone."

Yu Ke spoke quickly at this time: "I don't know about sister Murong and adopted brother, but the most meaningful time I have spent in my life is when I am with them. Can't this be considered family? ?”

"Hello?" Zhu Dian looked at her dejectedly, shrugged in tears, and said to himself: "Are you scared by me?"

He went back and squatted in front of Yu Ke again, looking at her sad look and feeling startled.

——I will be the kind of person my mother talks about, protecting the family and the people so that no one will be bullied like my mother.

At that time, the young master also cried and said such words, he thought to himself.

"The most meaningful day?" Zhu Tian smiled naively: "I'm sorry, I thought about it carefully, maybe we are really the same person, I just said it wrong."

After a moment, a loud trumpet sound came from outside the tent, but it was not an enemy attack, but a triumphal victory.

Zhu Dian and Yu Ke both ran out to greet Gao Jiajun.

"General Hakuho is back! General Hakuho is back!"

"General Bai Feng tracked the fleeing Beizhen spies and ran for hundreds of miles! He swept through the enemy's three forward battalions, totaling no less than 3,000 men and horses, and even beheaded the enemy generals under their horses with his own hands."

"He is truly the proud son of heaven..."

Zhu Dian and Yu Ke were crowded in the crowd, surrounded by soldiers who had just returned from the battle. Bai Feng, under the spontaneous welcome of the soldiers, rode into the city carrying the enemy general's head and reported Results.
