I owe the female honor system a billion

Chapter 158 39. The Battle of Lanshan
A thousand li to the south of the imperial capital, there is a river called Lan River, which is hundreds of feet wide. It is said that there is a dragon resting in it.

A thousand miles south of Lanhe River, there is a mountain called Lanshan, but the mountain is [-] meters high. It is said that there are immortals living in it, and whenever the world is in chaos, the immortals will come out to help the world.

Xia Qinglan drowsily listened to what the old woman next to her was muttering. She didn't know what she was talking about, so she stretched out her hand with a little misty eyes, and patted her old lady's Confucianism attire, telling her to shut up.

While patting, she turned her head and murmured in a low voice, "What kind of gods are there? Instead of believing in gods to save the world, you should pray that the sows in our hometown will climb the tree."

Beside him, a gentle voice seemed to be separated from Lanshan's story, and he turned his head to look at the young girl in military uniform who was sleeping on the ground, "There must be a reason for the existence of legends. The world is in such chaos today. , People have to find something to believe in, otherwise their hearts will die, and they will not know the meaning of life.”

Xia Qinglan was already very tired, and for several days and nights Li Chao's soldiers were about to go up the mountain, but she led the troops to repel them. Now a few of their troops are besieged in the mountain, and it has been a few days, and her mother still doesn't let her rest For a moment, read something that she didn't understand.Xia Qinglan frowned and sat up, looking at the old woman who was not too old, her fair face was covered in black and gray and looked dirty.

Xia Wuju also happened to be sitting where she was, turned her head to look in Xia Qinglan's direction, wondering if she remembered something, and then smiled warmly again.

"Don't talk about me. I just didn't rest last night. I finally had a short rest. If you have this time to talk about me, why don't you think about how to get tired." Looking at her mother's smiling face, Xia Qinglan couldn't help but stare. After glancing at her, he was about to lie down again.

But I didn't expect Xia Wuju to smile even more after seeing her like this, she said while reminiscing, "I always feel that your angry appearance is carved out like your father's."

When Xia Qinglan heard her old mother talking about her father, she glanced at Xia Wuju's direction, just in time to meet her gentle smile, and those eyes that were almost covered with black and gray, Xia Qinglan suddenly felt sleepy was broken After a while, he didn't lie down again, but sat on the spot and looked at his naturally optimistic mother with dead fish eyes.

Countless soldiers around were lying or resting. They were all soldiers who were on duty with Xia Qinglan yesterday. They had just returned from a change of defense, and they all fell to the ground a little tired, or wanted to go to the cauldron in the camp to find something to eat. But it was found that there were only boiled grass roots in it.

Xia Qinglan watched the soldiers with hungry faces fall powerlessly to the ground, and her stomach, which was not very hungry, began to make a "gurgling" sound.

Sure enough, I still have to sleep for a while.

she thought so.

But Xia Wuju watched another group of soldiers get up from their rest and prepare to switch defenses, but she didn't change immediately, but sat in the same place, looked at Xia Qinglan at the side, and asked, "There must be something to remember. In your heart, Qing Lan, what do you keep in mind?"

Xia Qinglan glanced at Xia Wuju, gave her a speechless white eye, she fell to the ground a little tired, and said, "Now is not the time for mother and daughter to talk, you should go and change your defense."

Xia Wuju still smiled, looked at Xia Qinglan who was lying down, and continued to ask, "What do you keep in mind, what do you believe in?"

Xia Qinglan was awakened from her drowsiness by her mother again, and then she stared angrily at the woman next to her, but she still saw her gentle smile.

Normally at this time, she should have erupted, and she didn't want to talk nonsense with this person.

But for some reason, it might be because she is in a desperate situation now, even seeing her expression like this, Xia Qinglan's anger still didn't burn out, instead she covered her face with a headache, and then turned her head away.

"Tell me." Xia Wuju poked Xia Qinglan's back in armor with a smile, so that Xia Qinglan could feel her movement, and then retracted her hand with a smile, hugging her knees and looking at her.

Xia Qinglan closed her eyes speechlessly, not wanting to talk to her, but the moment her eyes went dark, countless faces appeared in her mind.

Is it the soldiers who are so hungry?
Is it those children whose faces are like yellow paper?

Is it the miserable poor?

Xia Qinglan was thinking, but her eyes opened a little involuntarily.

She knew that the woman behind her was still looking at her.

So she sighed helplessly, and looked up at the sky feebly, so she said,
"If you really want to believe in something, then I will believe in this world and the people who have lived in this country for generations."

Xia Wuju looked at her without any surprise, and then her smile became thicker, and then she also stood up,
"That's it, it's like me. If you want to say something to believe in, it seems a bit petty."

Xia Qinglan turned her head to look at her again, seeing that she was wearing a Confucian outfit, but slowly put on the armor and picked up the weapon next to her.

Xia Wuju went on to say,
"If I believe in something, I'll believe in it all my life, it's just that your father and you are there."

Seeing her gentle smile, Xia Qinglan frowned. The barrier between her and her mother for many years seemed to disintegrate a little at this moment, as if all of a sudden, she had a lot of things to say to this woman .

It's a pity that they are now in a desperate situation. If they have something to say, they may go to the underworld to tell more, right?

Xia Qinglan thought of this, but turned her head away again, ready to rest for a while, and waved her hand at Xia Wuju grotesquely, and said, "The soldiers of Li Chao were beaten by us last night, and now they should be more of a siege Instead of going up hard, besides patrolling on duty, you can see if there is any passage to go out of the mountain secretly."

Xia Wuju put on the helmet with a smile, and quietly looked at the girl lying on the ground, as if in her body, she saw an era, a future, and the tomorrow of a country
"Then, when the patrol is over, come back earlier."

Xia Qinglan hesitated for a while, but still said to Xia Wuju.

Xia Wuju turned his head and gestured to the surrounding soldiers. The soldiers all looked at the lying Xia Qinglan, as if they were planning something at the same time, with a hint of determination in their eyes, and then gave Xia Qinglan a slight salute. , but quietly left from the forest, leaving only a few soldiers behind, looking sadly at the soldiers who were about to leave and Xia Wuju.

Xia Wuju packed up her things, only then did she hear Xia Qinglan's whispered words, she raised her head, took out her sword, and said to Xia Qinglan,
"Hmph, it's not a good mother's way to let her daughter charge forward all the time."

"Let's forget it, a weak civil servant should just stay behind and settle the score."

"Ah, sure enough, you are more suitable to be an emperor in the future."

"Forget it, if things come to fruition in the future, you can give me the position of a concubine and let me maintain my health in the East Palace. I also want to try digging the ground with a golden hoe." Xia Qinglan closed her eyes, pretending to be joking with her own mother.

Xia Wuju smiled even more, and shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him, "Go, little ones, let our coach Qinglan dig the ground with a golden hoe in the future!"

"Hahahaha"

The resolute smiles of the soldiers resounded through the forest, startling the birds that lived in the forest,
But the only thing that didn't wake up Xia Qinglan who was lying on the spot resting.

Li He 11 years,
At that time, there was a traitor in Xia Wuju's team, and he told Li Chao's army about the Lanshan where Xia Wuju and Xia Qinglan's cronies were hiding.

At that time, Xun Li led the main force to Lanshan to reunite with Xia Wuju and Xia Qinglan.

At that time, there were only less than 1000 people on the mountain.

At that time, Li Chao led an army of [-] to encircle and suppress Lanshan.

At that time, Xia Wuju used herself as a bait to break through to the north, making the enemy think that the leader was here, while Xia Qinglan led only 100 people, and unexpectedly broke through from the south to join Xun Li.

At that time, Xia Qinglan lost her mother.
