When the morning mist rose, Cao Jin was awakened by the chirping of birds in the dense forest. He rubbed the back of his sore neck and sat up from the ground, looking confused.
The armor on his body is gone, and Xiao Xie is also gone. Where is he? What about Huyanzhi and the others? How can it be so quiet? Why did Xiao Xie make him dizzy?
With a series of doubts, he carefully poked his head out of the cave. Seeing that there was no one around, he took the sword and bow and arrow and ran towards the military camp.
I don't know what happened to Feng Yang and the general.
This mountain was not far from Liyang City, and Huyanzhi had already retreated from here, so Cao Jin did not encounter any obstacles along the way, and ran back to the city gate around noon.
When the soldiers guarding the city saw him, their eyes widened and they asked in disbelief: "Lieutenant General Cao? Do you, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"
"Ah?" Cao Jin didn't understand what he was talking about at all, only Said, "Lieutenant General Feng and they have returned to the city? Is the general okay?"
The guard opened the door for him, Cao Jin came in with a long knife, and listened to the guard: "Lieutenant General Feng brought the general back to the city yesterday, However, the general was in a coma, and the military doctor treated him, but the general had a fever again last night, alas!"
"What about Vice-General Xie?" Cao Jin asked with a frown.
The guard was inexplicable, "Which lieutenant is Xie?"
He directly rewarded him with a burst of chestnuts. Cao Jin said in a rough voice: "Lieutenant Xie Yan!" At the end, he added, "The one who looks very handsome."
His head hurt by the beating, the guard blinked, and suddenly realized, "So you jumped off the cliff and didn't die! Lieutenant General Cao deserves to be Lieutenant General Cao, but he is blessed! Haha."
Cao Jin kicked him directly, "I I ask you if Vice-General Xie is back? Also, what happened to jumping off the cliff? Who said I jumped off the cliff?"
Before the guard could answer, Feng Yang, who received the news, brought a group of people over quickly. His face was haggard, his eyes were blue and black, and his eyes were bloodshot. , "Old Cao, it's great that you didn't die! Xie Yan! Why didn't he come back with you?"
Feng Yang looked behind him, but he didn't see the young man, and he felt more and more uneasy.
Cao Jinzhen, who was questioned, was puzzled and said helplessly, "I don't know either. We hid in a cave last night, and Xiao Xie knocked me out." He scratched his head. , was a little embarrassed, "I also took off my armor. When I woke up in the morning, he was gone."
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Yang turned pale and took a step back. Yesterday, after they returned to the city without any danger, they dispatched scouts to inquire about the news. When they heard that "Silent" and his lieutenants were forced to jump off the cliff last night, they were suddenly in a state of unbearable pain.
"Silence" is Xie Yan, and the lieutenant is Cao Jin, and they were all forced to jump off the cliff by Huyanzhi! The more than 100 soldiers who followed them all burst into tears, knelt on the ground one after another, and kowtowed in the direction where the two jumped off the cliff.
Feng Yang planned to take people to the bottom of the cliff to search. He wanted to see people in life, and corpses in death. Even if he died, he couldn't expose the corpse to the wilderness and be taken by wild animals. Just when he ordered troops out of the city, he heard the news that Cao Jin was returning to the city, and immediately rushed over with joy, but heard another bad news.
With his smart mind, he can naturally come up with a plan for Xie Yan, but the boy is only sixteen years old! During the few days they spent together in the mountains, Feng Yang and the more than 100 soldiers had completely reversed their attitude towards Xie Yan. At this time, listening to Cao Jin state the truth, they all blushed and whimpered softly.
Cao Jin's heart skipped a beat. The burly and sturdy man was now like a restless child. His copper bell-like eyes were filled with disbelief, and he trembled, "Old Feng, what is going on?"
Feng Yang covered his face and said nothing, and the scout next to him blushed and told Cao Jin the news he had inquired.
He fell to his knees suddenly, weeping helplessly. In the past, he looked down on Xie Yan so much, bullied Xie Yan so much, and even suspected him of being an enemy's meticulous work, and beat him to the ground and tied him to a tree, but in the end, Xie Yan took his own life to save him, the rude life. Saved everyone's life!
It was unbelievable that the eight-foot-tall man fell to the ground and cried bitterly, but no one was there to comfort him, because they were all deeply infected and sobbed softly.
At this time, a tall, handsome young man with a soft temperament came over. He was wearing the same armor as Feng Yang, with a horizontal knife hanging from his waist. Seeing a group of people crying, he couldn't help asking: "Lieutenant General Feng, What happened?"
Feng Yang turned his back and wiped away his tears, Fang looked back and said, "Lieutenant General Xie sacrificed himself to save the big guy, everyone cried for him and gave him a good baby."
Lin Yi heard the words , also showed a heavy look on his face, and patted Feng Yang's shoulder, "Don't be too sad, everyone still needs to cheer up and defend the city together."
Cao Jin, who suddenly jumped up from the ground, wiped his face fiercely, and his eyes were red. : "Lao Feng, I want to take someone to the bottom of the cliff to find him and bring him back."
"That's what I mean," Feng Yang gradually calmed down, "Old Cao, stay in the city, I'll take someone to look for him." You can't let Xiao Xie die and be eaten by wild animals.
Lin Yi couldn't help frowning, "Lieutenant General Feng, Lieutenant General Cao, the situation is getting more and more tense now, the general is unconscious, Huyanzhi is likely to attack again, you better stay in the city." He is starting from the overall situation, after all, the generals Death in battle is extremely common, and the minds of two generals cannot be disturbed just because of one Xie Yan.
"Report—" A scout rushed over, seeing Feng Yang and the others, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "An enemy army is attacking five miles outside the city!"
Everyone was shocked.
Huyanzhi thought that after forcing "Silent" to jump off the cliff, Li Yangcheng had no generals to use now, so he wanted to take advantage of the illness to kill him. This raid really put a lot of pressure on Feng Yang and the others. Although the general wasn't really dead, it was true that he was unconscious and couldn't go to the battlefield.
In Liyang City, under the silence of the great general, it was Yuan Dong, the hussar general. Yuan Dong's martial arts are good, but he has always been a big man, and he has a good strategy, but in Feng Yang's eyes, he is a pediatrician, and it is not worth it at all. Now that there is a silent and lingering sickbed, Yuan Dong is the only one who can lead the battle.
Feng Yang was thinking about how to propose to Yuan Dong how to defend the city, but Yuan Dong had already ordered troops to open the city gate to fight. He has been suppressed by silence, and he has long been unhappy. Now that he has finally seized this opportunity, how could he not want to show it?
In his opinion, Huyanzhi was brave and unplanned, and he was nothing to worry about.
The mountains outside Liyang City are dense, Xie Yan hunted a pheasant and roasted it on the fire.
"Da, you scared me to death last night!" Xiao Ba leaned on his ear, patted his non-existent chest, and said with lingering fears.
"If it weren't for your map function, I wouldn't dare to jump off a cliff." Xie Yan took the roasted pheasant off, tore off the chicken legs and gnawed on it. He sighed in his heart, and began to miss Xiao Jiu again.
I don't know if Xiao Jiu is in this world or not.
The reason why he used the trick of jumping off the cliff last night was because Xiaoba's map showed that there was a big tree on the lower wall of the cliff. Looking down from the top of the cliff, because the line of sight was blocked, the concave wall could not be seen at all. Xie Yan used this trick to hide Huyanzhi and the others.
When he climbed up in the early morning, Cao Jin had already left the cave and should have returned to Liyang City.
Xie Yan is not in a hurry. Now the main general in Liyang City is in a coma, and only Yuan Dong can lead his troops into battle. Yuan Dong is more than willing, but his strength is really insufficient, Huyanzhi will definitely not take him in his eyes, Xie Yan decides to take advantage of his self-confidence and take his head!
Xiao Ba silently praised his plan! If Da Da really took Huyanzhi's life, he would definitely be respected by all the soldiers. Even if Xie Yan's meticulous identity was revealed in the future, Da Da would definitely not be as miserable as the original.
Of course, this is only Xiao Ba's own conjecture. Xie Yan didn't think so much at all. He just didn't like Huyanzhi.
Who told him to conspire with Xie Yan's biggest enemy? Isn't this waiting for you to kill yourself?
After eating the roast chicken, Xie Yan went to the stream to wash his hands again, took off his heavy armor, tied his back with straw ropes, and took a long knife and bow and arrows to the perfect spot that Little Eight had found. .
There is a high place outside Liyang City. The high place is about 500 meters away from the city gate. If an ordinary archer stands on the high ground, it is difficult to shoot the bow and arrow to the city gate, let alone shoot through the human body. But Xie Yan is different. He has practiced his inner strength these days, and now he has an inner strength bonus, and the distance of 500 meters is not too far.
He quietly sneaked into the high ground, and under the shade of vegetation, he observed Huyanzhi's position.
At this time, outside Liyang City, the two armies were facing each other. Huyanzhi was full of pride and laughed: "Yuan Dong! Silence is dead, will your Wei country send you this coward to fight? Don't be cut by my grandfather. I have to cry and call my mother!"
When the two armies confront each other, there will always be a scolding battle between the two sides, in order to stimulate each other's gains and losses and calm down, so that it is easy to seize the opportunity.
Yuan Dong has always been jealous of Shen Jingxin, and Huyanzhi's words directly stabbed his lung tube, which made him very annoyed. He sat on the back of the horse, swung the long knife, and pointed at Huyanzhi: "Don't talk nonsense, motherfucker! You only dare to spray some spit stars, dare you to fight with grandpa! "
Wait for your words!" Huyanzhi let out a long roar, and came on horseback with a knife in hand. In an instant, the dust flew up, the wind and sand blinded his eyes, and the blade of the knife glowed with cold light, just waiting to be baptized with blood!"
Yuan Dong was not timid, Feng Yang and others couldn't stop him, they could only see his majestic back and the flying ponytail running.
The knives collided, and the crisp sound of the attack was heard in the ears of the two soldiers, making people dizzy and heart stagnant. The screaming and the neighing of the horses were all wrapped up in the shadows of swords, lights, and swords, causing chills down one's back, and the two were fighting.
Xirong people have always been taller and more powerful than Wei people, especially Huyanzhi, who is as majestic as a black bear, making Yuan Dong, who was still mighty, quite thin. In terms of stamina, Yuan Dong is far from Huyanzhi, and in terms of endurance, Yuan Dong can't compare with Huyanzhi, but after 50 rounds, he was exhausted, and he was completely holding on.
The Xirong army was elated and proud, waiting for the general to carry Yuan Dong's head to victory. On the other hand, the Wei army became more and more dejected, frowning nervously, for fear that Yuan Dong would lose and affect the morale of the whole army.
Huyanzhi raised his head and laughed loudly, and slashed at Yuan Dong's neck with a knife. At the critical moment, Yuan Dong used all his strength to dodge, and the long knife only slashed down his left shoulder, slashing the flesh and blood. This knife almost cut off the bone!
With a miserable cry, Yuan Dong couldn't bear it any longer, he wanted to abandon the battle and flee!
The Xi Rong army laughed at the cowards, and the Wei army on the opposite side blushed and had thick necks.
Huyanzhi pointed his sword to the sky, and ordered loudly: "Crush! Break Liyang City!"
For a time, the long lance swung, the knife almost formed a shadow, the strings shook like electricity, the arrows clustered like rain, blood splattered on the battlefield, the limbs flew across, and screamed again and again.
Excited, Huyanzhi rushed into the Wei army alone, killing people with swords and knives. He never survived. Seeing that the Wei army was about to collapse, he suddenly felt a chill on his back and instinctively turned away, only to see a sharpened wooden arrow plunged straight into it. There was a soldier next to him on his chest, and the soldier fell down before he could even shout.
who is it!
The lieutenant surrounded him, Huyanzhi looked far into the distance, looking in the direction of the arrow, and saw a dan-colored figure approaching quickly on the high ground a mile away.
Xie Yanmo raised his sword high, and without hesitation, killed a Xirong cavalry, seized the horses, and rushed into the battlefield like cutting vegetables!
This Huyanzhi was really brave, and he was so alert that he avoided his precise arrow. Now that it has been exposed, he will have a head-to-head confrontation with Huyanzhi.
The young man dressed in a scarlet shirt and single-handedly fought a bloody path in the ant colony of the Xirong army, just like a ghost who stepped on the blood. , specifically to harvest human lives.
He is clearly a thin and thin boy, why is he so imposing? To the Xi Rong army, this young god general who suddenly appeared was like a devil descended into the world, but in the eyes of the Wei army, he was nothing less than a divine soldier from heaven!
In the Wei army, a scout with excellent eyesight suddenly had a look of ecstasy. The scout had always disliked Xie Yan before, but in the few days of hiding in the mountains, Xie Yan's various behaviors had long convinced him. In his heart, the current deputy general Xie was no worse than the general!
Unexpectedly, Vice Admiral Xie was so brave and invincible!
Xie Yan had never experienced the battlefield, but he had killed countless people. The Xirong soldiers in front of him were incompetent in his eyes. With his inner strength and the cooperation of Xiaoba, he flexibly opened a bloody path in the Xirong army and went straight to the Wei army. .
Seeing this, Huyanzhi hurriedly asked the archers to shoot at Xie Yan, Feng Yang naturally wanted to protect Xie Yan, lined up in formation, and also used arrow rain to cover him.
Xie Yan finally rushed into the Wei army, and in the eyes of Feng Yang and the others who were concerned, admiring and extremely happy, he moved in the direction of the Xirong army, poured his inner strength into his voice, and clearly transmitted it to everyone's ears.
"Huyanzhi! Grandpa, I am sixteen this year, and I am more than a year younger than you. How dare you come forward to fight me!"
In normal times, Huyanzhi would definitely make a fuss about Xie Yan's appearance, but he was almost shot to death by Xie Yan just now, and he saw with his own eyes that the Xi Rong army was helpless against him, so he had to hold back his words and didn't want to take this one.
However, what this young man said was really too irritating! If he didn't fight, he would be afraid of a junior, wouldn't he make his subordinates and Wei Jun laugh? Not only will he lose face, but the momentum of the Xirong army will also drop again and again. The young man just now had already killed his soldiers to the point of fear, how could he hold back any longer?
This is a fight without a fight!
Huyanzhi stared at Xie Yan with bloodthirsty eyes, and drove his horse forward, sneering: "Wei country has no one? It's really funny to send a slutty bunny to fight!" Choose to use Xie Yan's appearance to ridicule him, in order to provoke Xie Yan's anger.
In his opinion, a sixteen-year-old boy can't hold his breath. But he didn't know that the shell in front of him was indeed sixteen years old, but the soul inside had lived much longer than him.
Feng Yang, Cao Jin, and the others were trembling with popularity, and the horses under them couldn't help neighing, but Xie Yan was holding the Mo Dao, and the old god was there.
"Huyanzhi, since you said that I am Lord Tu'er, then today, you will die under the knife of Lord Tu'er, let everyone laugh at it!" Mr. Xie obviously didn't take this insult to heart. He pretended to be furious and waved The knife rushed forward.
Huyanzhi gave a gloomy smile and fought again!
One was extremely strong and the other was tall and thin. In the eyes of others, Xie Yanding was far inferior to Huyanzhi in terms of strength and endurance, but after the real fight, Huyanzhifang realized the horror of the young man in front of him.
The dozens of kilograms of Mo Dao were like playthings in Xie Yan's hands. Huyanzhi blocked him. He only felt pain in the tiger's mouth, and the sword in his hand almost fell. But the young man in front of him is too brave, sharp and ruthless, and his strength is infinite, and he can't hold it anymore! If he goes on, the only person who will fall to the ground is himself!
Xie Yan had clearly seen his retreat, and sneered in his heart, deliberately revealing a not-so-obvious flaw, showing that he was about to lose his strength.
Huyanzhi really had a look of joy in his eyes, he waved his knife to bully him forward, and stabbed Xie Yan at the next plate, Xie Yan said in his heart! He tapped his toes, dodged the opponent's blade, jumped to the horse's back, and the next moment, the Mo Dao swept across, and the hot blood suddenly splashed on the ground!
Huyanzhi only felt a pain in his neck, and then, he seemed to see his line of sight getting farther and farther from his body, and he floated straight into the air, and his body fell down from the horse.
All around are quiet.
Xie Yan's expression was the same as usual, the long knife raised Huyanzhi's head, raised it high, and called out loudly: "Soldiers! Follow me to pacify Xirong! Defend the homeland!"
Wei Jun suddenly burst into applause one after another, Feng Yang, Cao Jin Taking the lead in rushing over, the morale soared, and the leaderless Xirong army was so frightened that they threw away their armor, abandoned their armor, and uttered shit. They chased after the victory, captured thousands of people and captured countless armaments.
The Wei army won a big victory and killed the Xirong general Huyanzhi, and morale was high for a while. And Xie Yan's unparalleled heroism on the battlefield completely changed his image in the hearts of most soldiers. When he returned to the city, he was carried in by many excited soldiers. Feng Yang and Cao Jin only laughed along with him, while the young and handsome Lin Yi secretly looked at Xie with a strange look from time to time. Tired.
Back in the camp, Xie Yan asked his soldiers to put him down. As soon as his feet landed, Cao Jin suddenly knelt down in front of him. This reckless tall man looked at Xie Yan with a very complicated look, showing gratitude, admiration, and respect, he bowed his head deeply, and said loudly: "Lieutenant General Xie saved my life yesterday; I ordered, my old Cao will go up the mountain of swords and go down to the sea of fire, and I will do anything! Please all my colleagues be a witness for me!"
"Okay!" Feng Yang took the lead in applauding and applauding, and many soldiers behind him echoed.
Facing so many sincere eyes, Xie Yan smiled heartily, helped Cao Jin up, and said loudly, "We are comrades! We are comrades in arms! We are good brothers who ate in the same pot and slept in the same bed! I am in danger, Brother Cao, will you sacrifice your life to protect me?"
Cao Jin burst into tears, and he hissed, "Yes! I will!"
The robe boy, although blood stained, can hardly hide his demeanor and appearance, his every move, every word and every word, all show his clear mind and unrestrained personality.
Such a person should make people happy, and should make people admire.
Xie Yan reached out and patted Cao Jin's generous shoulder, and said seriously, "If that's the case, it's right for me to save you. You don't have to take it to heart."
The man who had always been reckless felt a warm feeling in his heart at this moment . However, Cao Jin ruthlessly wiped the tears that were about to roll down with the back of his dirty hands and nodded, "You're right!"
Although he said so, he had already made up his mind in his heart that Vice-General Xie would be him in the future. The most respected person, even the general has to rank second!
Huyanzhi was dead, and the Xi Rong army was seriously injured, so he would not commit any more crimes in the near future. The camp wanted to celebrate, but now the silence is serious, and it was a bit inappropriate to hold a banquet to celebrate, so it was avoided.
Xie Yan washed off the dirt, changed into a clean robe, put on soft armor, and followed Feng Yang to the silent room.
It stands to reason that the medicine he put on Silent should have an effect. After the military doctor's diagnosis and treatment, it will only heal faster, but now Silent has been having a high fever, which is very strange. Xie Yan decided to take a look for him in person.
There are already two people in the house, one is Lin Yi and the other is Cao Jin. When Cao Jin saw Xie Yan, he was naturally close, with a naive smile on his face, while Lin Yi looked at Xie Yan several times,
Then he asked, "I haven't seen Lieutenant General Xie for a few days, Lieutenant General Xie seems to be even more brave, today's victory, Lieutenant General Xie can be described as He is the greatest hero."
Since Feng Yang changed his mind on Xie Yan, he has sorted out the front and back and found some strange things.
Xie Yan has been gloomy and unkind since he entered the barracks, and he hardly talked to others. Some people once commented that he had a rebellious bone, and that he would have bad things in the future. But on the battlefield, Xie Yan showed heroism and made a lot of credits. The general didn't know why, but he valued him and specially transferred him to be a lieutenant.
For three whole years, Xie Yan did not do a single evil thing, and did not cause any trouble at all. Even if others took the initiative to provoke him, he did not take it to heart. It seemed that there was nothing in the world that could move him.
The people in the barracks didn't like him, and even hated him. Even Feng Yang himself was unwilling to maintain his usual peace and never had a good look on him.
Lin Yi is an outlier. Lin Yi often took the initiative to look for Xie Yan to speak, and every time he finished speaking, Lin Yi frowned and looked unhappy. When others asked, he began to speak for Xie Yan again. What, no one knows at all.
Thinking of this, Feng Yang only felt that he was too one-sided in looking at people. Xie Yan enlisted in the army three years ago, and he was only a thirteen-year-old child. Although he had a gloomy personality, if he was nurtured well, he would definitely be more courageous. The first time a thirteen-year-old child goes on the battlefield to kill an enemy, he will definitely be very scared. If he kills someone, he will probably have nightmares at night, but no one will comfort him, so he can only bear it silently.
In his eyes, these comrades are not people to rely on at all. In this way, it makes some sense for his character to become more gloomy.
I don't know what Feng Yang was thinking, Xie Yan just glanced at Lin Yi lightly, "I'm here to see the general. If Lieutenant General Lin has anything to say, you might as well talk about it later."
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled, meaning unclearly: "Xie Yan, you are quite kind, you are not afraid..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yan suddenly put his hands on his chest, his face turned pale, as if he was enduring extreme s pain.
"Xiao Xie, what's the matter with you?" Feng Yang thought he was injured, and was about to call the military doctor, but Xie Yan grabbed his wrist and listened to him squeeze a few words out of his throat: "No, in a moment. That's good."
This is the poison that Xie Yan's adoptive father used to control him, and if he didn't complete the task and couldn't get the antidote, the result would be a dead end.
One antidote per month, this month's deadline is approaching, Xie Yan did not complete the task, and even saved Shen Jing and killed Huyanzhi. Such betrayal is simply self-defeating, so Lin Yi will say that Xie Yan has a kind.
Xie Yan had long anticipated this problem, but for this chronic poison, as long as there was herbal medicine, he could dispense an antidote.
Cao Jin stared at Xie Yan nervously, at a loss, not knowing what to do to help, sweat oozing from his forehead, looking rather silly and cute.
After Xie Yan felt the pain, he waved his hand and walked to the side of Silent's bed and sat down, covering his hand with his body and feeling the pulse for Silent.
Lin Yi didn't see his movements, and was still standing there wondering Xie Yan's change. It happened that someone came to look for Lin Yi for something, and Lin Yi had to say goodbye to the three and leave the house.
Feng Yang and Cao Jin knew that he knew medical theory, so they asked, "What do you see?"
After thinking for a moment, Xie Yan raised his eyes and asked, "Is there any medicine left by the military doctor?"
"No, military doctor. The medicine that was brought was given to the general to drink, and the bowl was taken away." Feng Yang seemed to notice something and frowned, "Could it be that there is something wrong with the medicine?"
"Just guessing," Xie Yan got up and replied, "I I just had angina just now, and I want to go to the military doctor to see, brother Feng, why don't you accompany me?"
Feng Yang naturally agreed, and when he heard his angina, he looked rather worried.
Cao Jin was anxious, "Then what am I doing?"
Xie Yan looked back and smiled, "You are here guarding the general."
The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was full of red clouds.
The rude man smiled, feeling his cheeks inexplicably hot and his heart beating like a drum.
