Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2489 Middle Age

The knight in green armor noticed Lou Da Lou's gaze, but his gaze passed over the corpses on the ground in front of the city wall and fell only on Li Mei Niang.

By the way, how is Li Mei Niang?

Lou Dalou suddenly woke up, looked back at the wall, and saw Li Meiniang leaning against the wall with her eyes closed, motionless, with a large pool of blood behind her.

Blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth, and the armor on her back was also covered in blood.

Lou Dadou’s heart almost stopped.

However, just when he was so sad that he could hardly breathe, Li Mei Niang slowly opened her eyes.

She is still alive.

Lou Dalou blinked several times before he made sure he was not seeing things.

Li Mei Niang is still alive.

No near misses.

He saw with his own eyes the Xirong soldier stabbing the sword into Li Meiniang's heart. It should be the moment before the sword was stabbed into Li Meiniang's heart that the Xirong soldier and his sword were shattered to pieces by the arrow of the Green Armor Knight. The sword shattered in Li Meiniang's body, which caused her to bleed so much. Fortunately, the sword did not stab into Li Meiniang's vital parts.

It was really a close call.

Lou Dalou took a deep breath, and the cold sweat on his forehead began to flow down.

I have to say that the arrow just now was a divine arrow.

If the arrow had not been shot so accurately and infused with true energy that instantly shattered the sword in the Western Rong soldier's hand, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Otherwise, even if the Xirong soldier was shot to death by one arrow, the sword would still pierce Li Meiniang's heart.

If someone else had come, it would have been impossible to save Li Mei Niang at that moment.

Lou Dalou looked at the knight in green armor again, his eyes filled with surprise and suspicion.

How many people on this continent can shoot such an arrow?

Li Meiniang took a strong breath and picked out the fragments from her chest. She then raised her sword and killed the Zen temple disciple who had plotted against her deputy general from a distance. She then held on to the city wall and barely stood up.

She raised her head and looked at the blue-armored knight on the hillside in the distance.

The Blue-Armored Knight has a pair of dark brown eyes behind his visor.

The two of them stared at each other quietly from hundreds of meters apart.

Louda held his breath and looked at the two people from afar who seemed to be able to only see each other even though the distance between them was so far.

The knight in blue armor did not come alone. It was only at this time that the people behind him caught up.

The sound of dense horse hooves hitting the ground was accompanied by the anxious shouts of a group of people.

"Your Majesty! You can't rush so fast!"

"Quick! Jinwu Guards, why don't you protect the emperor!"

His Majesty……

Lou Da Lou froze when he heard the sound.

In the Shanhai Continent, there are few people who can bear this title nowadays.

The knight in blue armor took off his visor, revealing his tough face. The man said nothing, but just looked at Li Mei Niang standing on the city wall.

Li Meiniang said nothing and just looked at him quietly.

The sandstorm from the border blew between the two of them. Both of their faces bore traces of time and wind and frost, and their eyes contained fatigue that could not be concealed.

Neither of them is young anymore.

He is no longer the high-spirited and reckless Crown Prince of Wu.

She was no longer the bold and brilliant female general.

Ten years just passed like that.

Zhao Muren once again returned to the border as the King of Eastern Wu.

Li Meiniang lowered her eyes and said nothing more. She just turned around and directed the deputy beside her to continue resisting the siege of the city by the Western Rong soldiers.

Zhao Muren looked away without saying anything else. He looked at the general who came to him breathlessly and said lightly, "Raise the flag."

A flag of the King of Eastern Wu embroidered with a blue dragon was hung high.

Following closely behind was a flag of the Northern Wei king, which indicated that Zhao Muren arrived here with the permission of the Northern Wei king and was a friend rather than an enemy.

A huge crowd of people and horses appeared behind Zhao Muren, and the Northern Wei soldiers and practitioners on the city wall stared at this scene in a daze. Then the entire city wall was boiling.

"It's the soldiers from Eastern Wu!"

"Oh my god, it's actually the reinforcements from Dongwu!"

"Am I seeing right? That flag is the flag of the king of Wu, right? Is the king of Wu leading the army in person?"

"The King of Dongwu actually came to Northern Wei in person? Wait, His Majesty actually approved it?"

Some elderly veterans looked at the scene on the distant hillside and could hardly believe their eyes.

After the Qin Dynasty split, Northern Wei and Eastern Wu became independent countries. It was already outrageous that Eastern Wu would send troops to aid Northern Wei, not to mention that the monarch of one country personally led troops to set foot on the territory of another country.

This event can be regarded as the first major event in the entire Shanhai Continent since the division of the Qin Dynasty.

Under normal circumstances, this would undoubtedly be regarded as an act of Eastern Wu invading Northern Wei.

Whether it was Zhao Muren or Yelu Hua who agreed to Zhao Muren's entry into the Northern Wei Dynasty... it was enough to shock the world.

Moreover, the journey from Eastern Wu to Northern Wei was very long. If Zhao Muren did not pass through Former Qin, he would have to take the route through Central Tang.

This means that Zhao Muren passed through the territory of Central Tang with his troops fully armed.

The King of Zhong Tang actually agreed to this matter...

There had been no news leaking the whereabouts of the Eastern Wu army before. The army led by Zhao Muren came like a divine force descending from the sky, crossing almost half of the continent and appearing in front of the Great Wall of Eternal Night.

The Western Rong soldiers, who had originally launched a fierce attack, had never thought that under such circumstances, reinforcements would suddenly appear from the Northern Wei army. For a time, their morale was severely damaged and the attack became chaotic.

"Do it."

Zhao Muren brought 10,000 cavalrymen. Although they looked exhausted after a thousand-mile march, they had sufficient weapons and equipment. A general from the Northern Wei Dynasty also accompanied them.

With the help of the Northern Wei army, two thousand archers from the Eastern Wu climbed up the city wall and rained arrows on the Western Rong soldiers and Zen temple disciples under the Great Wall.

After less than an hour of fierce fighting, the Western Rong side could not withstand the pressure, gave up this wave of attack and chose to retreat.

The offensive under the city wall gradually weakened. Li Meiniang did not dare to relax. She ordered the soldiers to clean up the mess and block every gap in the city wall.

Zhao Muren led the Eastern Wu soldiers to disperse to various routes to ensure that the east and west also received sufficient support.

The wall of the Eternal Night Great Wall is very long.

It was not until the evening that Zhao Muren and his personal soldiers returned to the section of the city wall guarded by Li Meiniang.

Li Meiniang was still standing on the wall, directing the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and reinforce the city walls.

She knew very well that the Xirong people were only retreating temporarily this time and would definitely launch an attack again later.

Zhao Muren walked up to her without saying a word, and together with Li Meiniang, they stared at the vast desert to the north of the city wall.

The wall had fallen silent at some point, and the two lieutenants and guards quietly retreated into the distance.

The sky gradually darkened and a few stars twinkled in the night sky.

The two stood quietly for a while, and Zhao Muren glanced at Li Mei Niang, "How is the battle going?"

"The Northern Wei has lost more than half of its troops, and their combat power has not reached its limit," Li Mei Niang said succinctly. "If the people you brought with you don't leave, they can resist the next attack, but it will be difficult to repel it completely."

Zhao Muren was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Dongfang Yi is in Dongwu, so I won't leave for the time being."

Li Mei Niang's hand holding the sword moved and glanced at Zhao Mu Ren, "Why are you here?"

This was the first time she asked this question today.

Maybe this is the first time I ask this question in my life.

Zhao Muren was obviously a little surprised. He looked into the eyes of the woman beside him, then looked at the blood-stained city wall and the desert in the distance littered with broken weapons. The look that Li Meiniang showed before she died in battle today appeared in front of his eyes.

After a moment's silence, Zhao Muren spoke.

"I just want to tell you."

"You don't have to watch alone anymore."

……

……

The sentence that touched me the most was, "Neither of them is getting any younger anymore."
