Chapter 445 Like an Egg
Damba Urji rode his proud black-headed horse and rushed out of the barracks of Dafeichuan. As if taking a step slower, the golden pearl beauty in Lanzhou is about to fall into the hands of others.
Immediately after that, 30,000 of the 100,000 cavalry, Kunlun iron riders, roared out like dark clouds, and each knight raised the Tubo machete in his hand. It seems that the situation is not to go to war, but to get married.
Central Plains, in their opinion, is the paradise in their dreams, where gold is full of beautiful women!
Galqinling stood on the big truck with his hands behind his hand. He looked at Damba Urji leading the army to attack and spit out a long breath in his nose. He secretly said: Although Damba Urzi was a little reckless and stupid, he was indeed a first-class good man to charge into the battle to destroy the city and pull out the fortress. I should have sent troops to attack Yanzhou earlier. Even if you can't get the county seat of Xiazhou, you can besiege the city to help - my two younger brothers are still fighting hard at the second level of Yuyang. As long as the war here in Danzhou is together, the grain road of Yuyang Erguan will be completely isolated, and breaking the customs will only happen sooner or later... In this way, the Lanzhou defense line will definitely collapse!
"Ma Ta He Long Sword points to the Central Plains, and the day is just around the corner!" The Chalqinling slapped on the fence, and the light burst out in his eyes!
At the same time, Qin Mubai, a fake shepherd, threw down the sheep and the hair-haired black leather horse, fell on the back of the fire cloud colt, and galloped crazily!
"Fire cloud! It's all up to you! How fast you can run!" Qin Mubai lay on the horse's back and hugged the horse's neck tightly and said, "The propulsion speed of the Tubo army is at most two hundred miles a day. It's past noon now, and they have to camp and rest in the middle of the night, almost stopping fifty or sixty miles away from the Magic Moon Valley. We won't rest, and we have to rush to Zhuanzhou as soon as possible!"
Huoyun seemed to understand his words, and his muscles suddenly exploded all over his body, and he raised his hoofs and ran like lightning!
The north wind is like a knife, and it hurts to cut your face!
Qin Mubai felt that he had been frozen. Facing the wind, his eyes could not be opened, and his nostrils seemed to freeze.
Fire cloud, just think you can really play with your life! Carrying Qin Mubai all the way, he didn't seem to have the intention of stopping at half!
......
Late at night, in the Assassin's Mansion in Danzhou.
The news of Qin Mubai's death has been officially spread for a few days. A mourning hall was set up in the assassin's mansion, and the troops came to mourn Zuozhou County one after another. The people in the city are all sad. They gather around the assassin's mansion and cry every day, scrambling to enter the incense and worship...
At the same time, the city of Danzhou is also full of wind and swords. After all the Kansai troops retreated to the state city, they settled in the city and began to defend. Under the order of Li Daozong, he ordered Xiao Liang, the governor of Lanzhou, to transfer a total of 50,000 horses to the recently recruited 30,000 Lanzhou New Army and all the other left-behind soldiers who ruled the state and counties, all of which were transferred to Sanzhou to participate in the deployment. The people in the city of Shaanzhou also spontaneously organized some people to donate money and food or help build military houses, and formed a logging team to go out of the city to cut wood to help the army build the city defense.
In this way, all the troops under the governor's government of Lanzhou, except for those deployed in the second pass of Yuyang, are all gathered in the outpost city of Danzhou!
Li Daozong has reported to the court, telling the news of Qin Mubai's death, the fact of the defeat of Da Feichuan and the request for reinforcements.
The current situation is a great crisis. The gateway to Dafeichuan has been lost, and Yanzhou has become the throat of life and death. If this place is attacked by the enemy, Lanzhou will be naked under the iron-hoof machete of the Tubo people.
In the land of Helong, dozens of states and counties are thousands of miles away, like a base egg!
Li Daozong, the acting governor and temporary marshal, felt unprecedented depression and crisis. In the early years, when he started the National Bangnan Expedition to the North, he also took the lead, but at that time, regardless of success or failure, he could at most bear the gains and losses of the First World War. But at present, anyone can carry the heavy burden of Lanzhou.
In the early years, when the emperor Li Shimin was still the king of Qin, he fought hard against Xue Ju in the west, and then settled the Dinghe River. Now, decades have passed, will Lanzhou become an enemy again?
Li Daozong is so anxious that he can't sleep at night.
Here, it is half of the Tang Dynasty!
In this battle, no one really dares to lose. I can't afford to lose!
......
The men are busy doing some big things, as if they have forgotten several special women.
Li Xueyan, who was originally sick and in a trance, saw Qin Mubai's coffin and mourning hall with her own eyes, and her condition became worse and worse. He had a high fever and was unconscious all day long. Occasionally, he opened his mouth and spit out a few words, which were all words such as "the antidote", "Mubai" and "wait for me".
Chen Yan and Hantai Shuang, who has recovered more than half of them and can get out of bed, accompany her every day and worry. From the time Su Lianqing saw the appearance of Chen Yan, a natural nemesis, it seemed that the world had evaporated, and he hid from far away.
After a few days of strong decoction, Li Xueyan's high fever finally subsided, and she was much more sober. Chen Yan and Shuang Shuang sighed secretly.
Early this morning, Li Xueyan just opened her eyes and suddenly said to Chen Yan, "Sister, can you do me a favor?"
Chen Yan was accepted as a righteous daughter by Li Daozong. Li Xueyan has no sister on it, so she regards Chen Yan as a sister and has always had a very good relationship.
"Okay, you say it." Chen Yan replied.
"Go and prepare a wedding dress for me, okay?" Li Xueyan said.
"Wedding clothes?" Chen Yan blinked puzzled, "What are you going to do?"
"I want to hold a marriage ceremony with Mu Bai."
"!!" Chen Yan was shocked and looked at Li Xueyan with wide eyes. She was speechless for a moment.
"Sister, help me, okay?" Li Xueyan turned her head, looked at Chen Yan and begged.
Chen Yan sighed and nodded, "Wait a minute."
"Thank you, Sister Yan." Li Xueyan smiled palely and said, "I knew that you would definitely agree!"
"Why?" Chen Yan smiled, reached out and stroked Li Xueyan's pale face, and said pitifully.
"Because at this moment, only you can understand my mood. Even his father, he doesn't understand..." Li Xueyan whispered.
Chen Yan suddenly felt a pain in her heart and nodded gently, "Have a good rest. I'll come as soon as I go."
An hour later, Chen Yan went and returned, bringing Feng Guanxia and gouache.
Li Xueyan got out of bed, took a bath and changed her clothes. She sat in front of the bronze mirror. Chen Yan dressed her up.
Li Xueyan looked at herself in the bronze mirror and kept smiling.
"Sister Yan, have you held a wedding ceremony with Mu Bai?"
"No." Chen Yan combed Li Xueyan's long hair and replied, "I never care about this."
"Woman, how can she not care if it's only once in her life?" Li Xueyan raised the corners of her lips, showing a sweet and sad smile, and said, "From today on, I am also a wife, no longer a child."
Chen Yan's hand suddenly paused, frowned and said, "You don't want to do something stupid, do you?"
"Don't worry, I won't." Li Xueyan smiled and said, "Although Mu Bai has gone, he also has his mother, brother and sister, children, as well as you and Gaoyang Royal Sister and Wu Mei Niang. With you, I'm not lonely. I can live."
Chen Yan was speechless and shook her head with a silent sigh.
"Sister Yan, do you think I'm stupid?"
"No." Chen Yan said, "There are many infatuated women like you in the world, but more of them are like iron."
"Sister, I don't regret it." Li Xueyan paused and suddenly looked up at Chen Yan. She said seriously, "Really, I don't regret it!"
"I know..." Chen Yan nodded gently, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Before, I had seen a woman who was intoxicated and crazy about love. I thought that was the ultimate of a woman. Now I understand that the depth of love is only more infatuated, not the extreme.
"Is the woman who is 'intoxicated and crazy about love' mentioned by Sister Yan my sister Gaoyang?" Li Xueyan said.
"That's right, it's her." Chen Yan sighed and said, "She is really persistent and crazy."
"I envy my royal sister..." Li Xueyan bit her lips gently and said, "I'm not envious of what she finally got and gained, but her courage and persistence. Compared with her, I am a poor coward. I live carefully and fearfully. I dare not ask for what I like, and I dare not say what I want. When I dare to say I want it, I don't have a chance... Why can Sister Gaoyang be so frank and persistent, but I'm so entangled?"
"People have their own nature, how can they be the same as others? You don't have to underestimate yourself. Your kindness and sincerity are unmatched by others. Chen Yan stroked the hair in her ear, looked at the smile in the bronze mirror and said, "Xue Yan, you are really beautiful today."
"Is that right?" Chen Yan raised her hand, gently stroked Chen Yan's face with cold fingers, and said leisurely, "Sister Yan, you are the wisest and most frank woman I have ever seen. When I'm with you, I really don't feel depressed at all, and I don't have to worry about anything. Also, you are very good at taking care of people. Mu Bai must be very relaxed and happy when he is with you, right?
"..." Chen Yan was speechless. The scene in the past in the small building in the countryside of Xiangyang came to my mind again.
An hour later, it was already dusk. In the mourning hall on the side of the Assassin's Mansion, there are fewer and fewer people. Only Yuwen Hongtai was still sitting in the mourning hall, holding the golden gun used by Qin Mubai in his arms, holding a piece of silk in his hand, and wiping the spearhead with a cold face.
"Third brother, if the Tubo barbarian is killed another day, I will mention your big gun and kill people!" Yuwen Hongtai said to himself, "If I can't come back, when I get to Huangquan, I will take this gun to see you. At that time, I will tell you how many Tubo barbarians I killed with this gun! You will be happy to hear it!"
There were only a few sergeants in the mourning hall who served the incense case and paper money. Hearing what he said, they clenched their teeth and clenched their fists.
At this time, Chen Yan and Tang Tai both supported Li Xueyan, who was wearing Feng Guanxia, and walked into the mourning hall through the side door.
Everyone was surprised. Yuwen Hongtai stood up and stared and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?"
"Today, Her Royal Highness Princess Wencheng is going to marry the young commander." Chen Yan said.
"Ah?" Everyone was stunned.
"Sister Yan, don't disturb too many people. Let's have a wedding!" Li Xueyan smiled and said, "All of you present are the guests."
"This, this, this..." Yuwen Hongtai was dumbfounded and shivered.
"Wow--"
With a sound, a big red groom's robe was wrapped in Qin Mubai's coffin. Li Xueyan looked at Yuwen Hongtai and said, "General Yuwen, what you have in your hand is the young commander's family weapon, a tiger-headed golden gun?"
"Ah? Yes...yes." Yuwen Hongtai replied in a sdictation.
"Please bring it over and stand by my side." Li Xueyan smiled.
Yuwen Hongtai walked over suspiciously and stood beside Li Xueyan with a golden gun.
Li Xueyan raised her wrist and took the bride and groom's hands into the happy hall to show the red silk of the white-headed hand, and tied it to the tiger-headed golden gun.
"Sister, please change the red wax. Mu Bai and I... It's time to worship!"
......
At this time, in the large tent of the military camp in the city.
Li Daozong, Hou Junji, Xue Wanjun and the generals of the army, as well as the large and small officials of Shanzhou County, all gathered together to worry about the city's defense against the enemy.
After the army withdrew from Dafeichuan and returned to Danzhou, even Hou Junji was not clear about the next situation. At this moment, while listening to Li Daozong's orders for big and small matters, Hou Junji was secretly anxious in his heart: Qin Mubai, Qin Mubai, are you pretending to die or really dead? Now it's burning, and there is no next move. Do you want to be in a hurry?
After the meeting, the generals were busy with their errands. Li Daozong, who was tired and tired, took a deep breath and collapsed in the handsome chair, dizzy. Hou Junji stayed and prepared to talk to him about military affairs.
At this time, a small school student came in to ask for a meeting and sent a paper.
Li Daozong lazily opened the letter and looked at it. He snorted coldly and threw it on the table. "Get out of here, let him go!"
Hou Junji picked up the book and wrote it curiously and immediately laughed, "Haha, what a second son of the Changsun family! Seeing the army under pressure, he actually fled back to the capital!"
Li Daozong glanced at him and said, "I know you have a deep grudge against the eldest grandson family. But you don't have to worry about this kind of thing."
"Why don't you care?" Hou Junji sneered and said, "I'm Sima, specializing in military discipline and regulations. Changsun said that his mother was sick and went home without asking for orders, so she fled in the army. This is a big precept of ten beheading orders!"
"What do you want?" Li Daozong said casually, "Catch him back and cut him with a knife?"
"Your Majesty, I'm going to do this." Hou Junji answered solemnly and then shouted, "Come on! Issue a sea arrest order and arrest the fugitive general - Changsun Xun!"
"You're crazy!" Li Daozong slapped the table and said, "The enemy is in the present, don't make any branches!"
"Your Majesty, you don't have to ask about such a trivial matter." Hou Junji smiled coldly and bowed to Li Daozong, "The last general, I'm leaving."
Li Daozong tightened his face and looked at Hou Junji withdrawing from the big account, and his heart pounded. He secretly said: Originally, Changsun Fu came to do some military industry and showed his goodwill to Qin Mubai. I didn't expect that after half a year, I didn't even see Qin Mubai's face a few times, not to mention the mixed military industry and flattery. Now that Qin Mubai is dead, coupled with the critical situation, he actually slipped away with oil on the soles of his feet! ... Such a villain should indeed be killed! - Forget it, it's up to Hou Junji to take revenge! If Changsun is really caught back, he should be here!
