Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2369 Full Picture
Li Jinniang left.

The girl wearing Xirong clothes left without looking back, leaving only the smell of green grass where she stood.

Morning light illuminates the empty room.Qian Bofang and Wan Liuyun sat opposite each other at the tea table, holding up the cold tea cups.

"It's just the two of us left again."

Qian Bofang raised his eyes and glanced at the woman sitting opposite.

"You run the inn, I run the restaurant," Wan Liuyun took a sip of herbal tea, "The two of us are destined to be left behind. When the general made such arrangements, shouldn't you have known?"

"It's still a little uncomfortable to have to wait all the time," Qian Bofang looked into the distance with a tea cup in his hand.

"Is that why you came to Soochow in the first place?" Wan Liuyun chuckled, "Weren't you addicted to officialdom at that time?"

"I didn't want to be an official," Qian Bofang said calmly, "I wanted to go to meet my princess."

"Yours?" Wan Liuyun pursed his lips, but did not say anything sarcastic.After all, she has been with him for many years, and she is very aware of the suffering of her old friend.

"You don't have to worry about your ambition being unfulfilled. There will be times when we can use you in the future." Wan Liuyun clenched the teacup, feeling a little uneasy. "Have all the people sent to Xirong by Shanhaiju come back?"

"They're all back. The general didn't let them follow you all the time." Qian Bofang blew the tea leaves in his cup. "Where are you?"

"I've called them all back," Wan Liuyun also looked out the window, "I asked them to guard the spirit wall, and report to me if there is any movement."

The streets that have become silent do not mean that the city has become safe, but it is a harbinger of war.If the Evernight Great Wall is breached again, the two of them will no longer be at the rear, but on the front line where flesh and blood are everywhere.

"Can the Lingbi still hold up?" Qian Bofang asked.

Wan Liuyun nodded, "Thanks to the tortoise shell I brought before Baoyue."

The tortoise shell transformed by the lifelong skill of Xu Canghai, the Imperial Master of the Northern Wei Dynasty, made up for the cracks in the spiritual wall transformed by Lin Shubai's physical body.

The Evernight Great Wall is still strong, but the situation is not optimistic.

Even though the Great Wall is rock solid, there is a fatal weakness on one side of the Great Wall compared to before the war seven years ago.

That means insufficient troops.

There is no force in the Great Wall that can take the initiative to attack Xirong.

Seven years ago, facing the attack of the Xirong people, Lin Shubai and the Black Tiger Army were present in the Great Wall, as well as the well-trained Qin border troops.

Even if they didn't help much, Ji Mo and Xu Canghai were still alive at the time, and Hou Liaoshan Ghost was also in its heyday.

But now the Qin Empire has been wiped out, and the strength of the Northern Wei and Hou Liao has been greatly weakened.

"Now I finally understand why Yun Zhongjun attacked the Northern Wei Dynasty before," Wan Liuyun said with a bitter smile.

After the split of the Qin Dynasty, the Northern Wei army was the last barrier on the Xirong defense line.But this barrier has been disturbed by Yun Zhongjun, and it was almost destroyed.

The man worked step by step, first assassinating the monarch, and then plotting against the imperial advisor.The scary thing is, he almost succeeded.

The king of the Northern Wei Dynasty was almost killed, Xu Canghai became a useless man, and the originally stable Northern Wei border army was now in danger.

In particular, Xu Canghai was deposed, which caused huge troubles to the Northern Wei border.

At a critical moment, a second-level national master can play a big role in turning the tide.

But the Northern Wei Dynasty no longer had any national teachers.Beihan Pavilion also collapsed, and its disciples were scattered in exile.

When Wan Liuyun thought about this, his whole body became cold and he was filled with fear.

If it hadn't been for Ying Baoyue's rebirth and Yun Zhongjun's complete success, the entire Northern Wei Dynasty would have fallen into the hands of Yunzhongjun, and the Xirong army would have entered the pass unimpeded.

Only when we look back can we realize how far-reaching this person's conspiracy was.

Yun Zhongjun is like the most experienced chess player, very patient, completing his chess game bit by bit.

And this situation is approaching the final step.

Even Wan Liuyun couldn't predict what Yun Zhongjun was planning. Did he want to become the second Emperor Taizu?

The only thing she could know was that no matter what Yun Zhongjun planned, the first step was to break through the Evernight Great Wall. Only in this way could the Xirong forces enter the pass.

All the six nations within the Great Wall can do is guard the Evernight Great Wall.But how can they hold on?

Xu Canghai, the Imperial Guard of the Northern Wei Dynasty, has been disabled, the Southern Chu Imperial Guard has no skills, the Eastern Wu Imperial Guard has retreated, the Later Liao Imperial Guard cannot go down the mountain, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Guards of the Mid-Tang Dynasty and the Former Qin Dynasty is low...

However, in just seven years, the eight gods, who were once at their peak, had actually fallen apart.

Wait, the King of Nanchu and the Crown Prince died at this time. Wasn't it also Yun Zhongjun's conspiracy?All just to keep Ji Mo from getting away.

The more Wan Liuyun thought about it, the more terrifying he felt.

At this moment, the back of her cold hand suddenly felt warm.

"Yunniang."

Qian Bofang's hand crossed the coffee table and held Wan Liuyun's hand. He said warmly, "Don't be afraid."

"How could I not be afraid," Wan Liuyun smiled bitterly, "If you think about it carefully, none of the eight gods can help."

Without a human god or a son of god, how could they defend the menacing Xirong ghost army?
"Yunniang, do you still remember what the National Preceptor said?" Qian Bofang held Wan Liuyun's hand tightly, "Not only heroes can defend their homeland."

Wan Liuyun was taken aback.

This was indeed what Lin Shubai always said back then, but Wan Liuyun didn't understand it back then.

She also asked Lin Baoyue, but Lin Baoyue didn't understand either.

In Wan Liuyun's view, the ones who can guard the border are naturally heroes like Lin Shubai and Lin Baoyue.

Apart from such an important person, who else can turn the tide?
Just like Lin Shubai, she had blocked the gap in the Great Wall of Night by herself, thus preventing the tragedy from happening.

"It is indeed the Imperial Preceptor who blocked the gap, but if it weren't for the thousands of Black Tiger troops fighting bloody battles in front of the gap, the Imperial Preceptor would not have been able to transform into the Lingbi," Qian Bofang said.

"But we no longer have the Black Tiger Army!" Wan Liuyun trembled, "The Silver Changuard no longer exists."

"Even if there is no more Black Tiger Army, we will still have other armies," Qian Bofang said with firm eyes as he looked into the distance.

"As the National Preceptor said back then, it is an army that belongs to the people."

Li Meiniang disappeared, Ji Jiashu and others went to the Northern Wei Dynasty, Ying Baoyue and Li Ji disappeared...

Qian Bofang believed that they would definitely come back with their own strength.

"Army of the people?"

Wan Liuyun repeated in a murmur, she still didn't understand what it meant.

But her hands were no longer cold.

"Yunniang, we have to guard this place until Baoyue and Meiniang come back," Qian Bofang let go of her hand and said with a smile.

Wan Liuyun nodded, "Okay."

Now that the situation in all directions is unpredictable, they have to collect information from all directions and do what they should do at the critical moment.

Wan Liuyun took out a sheepskin map from under his pillow and drew a pansy flower on it, Danyang, the capital of Southern Chu.

Qian Bofang leaned over and stared at the map.

This is a complete map of the mountains and seas continent, including not only the inside of the Great Wall, but also the vast Xirong grassland outside the Great Wall.

This picture is filled with different pattern marks in different directions.

Some are a piece of jade, some are three pieces of wind, and some are a leaf.

Some are in Dingling, some in Jiankun, some in the Northern Wei Dynasty, some in the Xiling Snow Mountain, and some in the Epang Palace of the former Qin Dynasty.

……

……

"Speaking of which," Wan Liuyun picked up the pen and thought thoughtfully, "Jinniang said that Guichen took Guili away. Where did their brother and sister go?"
