Messages are always delivered faster in the military.

When he was brought to the southern camp and was still practicing as a recruit, Lou Xiaolou heard that another battle broke out near the Great Wall of Eternal Night.Because the main force was fighting on other fronts, the northern battalion and even the recruit battalion were invested.

Sure enough, among the recruits who had just entered the battlefield, at most three out of ten could survive the battlefield.

Fifty percent of the recruits from the northern battalion died on the battlefield, and [-]% died of serious injuries afterwards.

When Lou Xiaolou was eating when he heard the news, he immediately vomited everything up.

Seventy percent, not even a list of the dead.

By then he had lost all hope.

Just like his elder brother's name, his elder brother Lou Lou was born with a taller than ordinary figure.Although he is a southerner, he looks like a northerner.

All veteran military households know that if you are too tall on the battlefield, if you are not a general, you are a target.

When the old military household who crawled out of the dead in the village saw his brother, he would often point and point, saying that the boy would not be able to survive the battlefield if he grew up so tall.

These little soldiers are not eligible for medical treatment.Under the circumstances at that time, even if he was cut deep on the battlefield, he would be killed. Lou Xiaolou knew very well that his elder brother basically had no hope of surviving.

Nor did he report any hope.

Before they separated, he and his elder brother had agreed that after a major battle, they would exchange family letters to report safety after each battle.

However, just when he was about to mourn and worship without hearing from his brother a month later, he received a letter from his family from the north.

When he received the letter from home, he couldn't believe his eyes. Looking at his brother's crooked words on the envelope, he wept with joy.

At the beginning, their mother used a chicken as a price, and the old man in the family taught them how to read. The two brothers could write some characters. Of course, it is not very beautiful, but in his eyes, this is the most beautiful painting.

He anxiously opened the envelope, and in the crooked pile of words, Lou Xiaolou saw that title for the first time.

Princess.

It never occurred to him that his stupid big brother would actually have something to do with the princess.He originally thought that his elder brother made a mistake or recognized the wrong person, but as long as the eldest brother is alive, nothing else matters.

He held the letter happily for several months, and then trained harder and harder, hoping to make meritorious service and gain a position in the army, so that he could transfer his eldest brother back to the south in the future.

But it is not easy to get ahead. They have changed from recruits to veterans little by little, and there are more and more family letters between them.

His eldest brother's handwriting has also become better and better, the only thing that remains the same.

It is the "princess master" who will definitely be mentioned in the letter.

As time went by, the princess gradually became a lieutenant, a general, and a lieutenant, and finally became the "general" that his elder brother always misses.

At that time, the story of that woman spread from the northern camp to the southern camp even though they were thousands of miles away.

Only then did Lou Xiaolou know that the princess actually existed.

Only then did he realize what a special team his elder brother had entered.

That team is called Yinchanwei.

His eldest brother also changed from a soldier to a general under the princess.

But Lou Xiaolou didn't feel jealous, because it was the result of his elder brother's narrow escape.He once learned through military intelligence that his elder brother had the opportunity to return to the south after a meritorious service, but his elder brother gave up that opportunity.

At that time, the people from his hometown who came to the South with him to serve as soldiers could not understand. Everyone laughed at his elder brother as a fool, but only he knew.

His elder brother wanted to stay with the princess.

Stay with his general.

But then...

Seven years ago, the north underwent drastic changes, the empire collapsed, and the entire mountain, sea and continent were turned upside down.

Lou Xiaolou closed his eyes.

So far, he has never received a letter from his elder brother.

When he received the order to escort the princess to Southern Chu, he only regarded it as an ordinary task. If he hadn't climbed to such a position in the army, he would not have received such an order.

Seven years was enough for him to forget many things.He is no longer the barefoot boy Lou Xiaolou in that small village, he is Lou Xiaolou of the Southern Daying Camp, he won the title in his generation, and he will always serve the former Qin court, just climb up and keep it own life.

He thought he had forgotten a lot of things.

However, he didn't expect that, looking at the running girl's back, those crooked home letters appeared in front of his eyes little by little.

"The princess gave me a knife today, and she said that only I can lift it."

"I injured my arm in this battle, and the princess sewed it up for me. She said that I won't need a soldering iron in the future."

"The princess's eyes are so beautiful."

"How did the princess know that the Xirong people were ambush in that hill? Why is she so powerful?"

"The princess has become a general."

"I saw His Royal Highness the First Prince. He came to the Great Wall to propose to the princess, and the princess agreed to him."

"The county master..."

The next moment Lou Xiaolou quietly opened his eyes, looking at the girl sitting in front of the bed.

Who would have thought that a woman whom he only knew through letters would appear in front of his eyes like this.

"You are..." He looked at Ying Baoyue and called softly, "Princess?"

Ying Baoyue was slightly taken aback.

"It's been a long time since I've heard such a title," she said with a smile, and put her finger on her upper lip lightly, "You can't let others hear it. This is not what ordinary people would call."

"Then who can be called?" Lou Xiaolou looked deeply into the eyes of the girl in front of him.

"Usually only my soldiers would call that," Ying Baoyue said, also looking into his eyes.

Lou Xiaolou's eyes paused, and the next moment he looked at her and asked seriously, "Then, can I be your soldier?"

Ying Baoyue was taken aback when she heard the words, but did not answer immediately.She looked at the knife edge on the back of the man lying on the bed and said softly, "You got this injury while exploring the way, right?"

Lou Xiaolou was startled, then nodded.

"The six roads don't work, do they?" She asked quietly.

The man on the bed looked serious and nodded heavily.

At the beginning, Ying Baoyue drew six maps for him, three of which were official roads leading to Soochow, and three were small roads in the mountains.But after his investigation, some people were ambushing and checking passers-by, especially girls around fourteen or fifteen years old.He was even attacked for exposing his former Qin accent on the last road.

And the people who attacked him were more vicious, more unknown, and more unfathomable than the killers they encountered when they went to Nanchu.

Thinking of the number, clothing, weapons and eyes of the former Qin army on those people's flags, Lou Xiaolou felt chills in his heart.

That was no ordinary killer.

"So you should already know," Ying Baoyue looked into the eyes of the man on the bed and said, "The road ahead for me will become more and more dangerous."

Lou Xiaolou was taken aback when he heard the words, looking into the eyes of the girl in front of him, he realized something and suddenly struggled to get up, "Your Highness, do you still want to..."

His only consciousness after he passed out was to persuade the girl to run away, but she...

"That's right, I won't run away." Ying Baoyue looked into his eyes, the girl's eyes were firm, unmoving like a rock.

"The path I'm walking on is an Asura path." She stretched out her hand and pressed him down and asked, "Do you really want to follow me?"

She spoke softly.

"I'm going to Soochow."
