Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

While Liu Xu was busy building a greenhouse here, the northern border was once again plunged into the smoke of war.

The northern border is bitterly cold all year round, with the biting cold wind blowing across the vast wilderness like a sharp blade. Snow is flying all over the sky, and the earth seems to be covered by a layer of icy gauze.

This time, Beihan's attack was fierce and completely different from the previous small-scale fighting. The dark mass of enemy troops came like a surging tide, the sound of horse hooves shook the earth, and the shouts of killing reached the sky.

Outside Lingyun Pass, the Marquis of Zhenguo, Mu Jingfeng, was wearing heavy armor. The golden armor plates sparkled in the morning light, and the cold light was overflowing. The red tassel on the helmet swayed in the wind, just like a blazing flame.

He stood straight, like a towering peak, emitting an unshakable, rock-hard majesty. His eyes were firm and sharp, staring at the enemy troops approaching from afar. With both hands tightly grasping the battle-hardened red tasseled spear, the spear head was extremely bright, and against the backdrop of the white snow, it looked even colder and more frightening.

Beside him, Mu Lingxuan was wearing silver armor and holding a halberd of the same color, looking majestic. The father and son had the same look in their eyes, fixed on the Beihan army thousands of meters away, full of determination.

Behind him, the soldiers were on full alert, their armor colliding with each other, making crisp and loud sounds.

Mu Jingfeng slowly raised the sword in his hand, and shouted loudly with a thunderous voice: "Soldiers, today's battle is for our homeland and for our loved ones behind us. We must fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!" "Fight to the death!" The shouts of the soldiers resounded through the sky, and their momentum was like a rainbow, as if it would break through the sky.

At Mu Jingfeng's command, the army surged forward like a surging tide. The sound of horse hooves and shouts of killing intertwined in an instant, shaking the heavens and the earth.

The Beihan army was not to be outdone and pounced on them like vicious wolves. The two sides engaged in close combat, with swords flashing and sabers interlaced, and blood bloomed into sad flowers in the snow.

Mu Jingfeng led the way, wielding his red tasseled spear with great vigor, and wherever he went, the enemy fell one after another. Mu Lingxuan followed closely behind, sweeping his long halberd with great courage.

On the battlefield, an enemy general rushed towards Mu Jingfeng. A hint of coldness flashed in Mu Jingfeng's eyes. He shouted loudly and rushed forward with his spear. The two of them immediately fought in a group, with their spears and halberds intersecting and sparks flying. After a few rounds, Mu Jingfeng seized the opportunity and stabbed the opponent in the throat with a spear. The enemy general screamed and fell off his horse.

Mu Lingxuan was also caught in a tough fight, as several enemy soldiers surrounded him. But he showed no fear, charging left and right, and the enemies fell off their horses one after another with his long halberd.

The battle became increasingly fierce, with both sides suffering heavy casualties.

At the same time, Liu Donglai led his troops and targeted an extremely brave young vanguard of Beihan.

Coincidentally, this young general was none other than Helian Muchuan, the third son of the main general Helian Yue. Although he was extremely brave, he lacked wisdom.

Liu Donglai saw this and gave a secret signal to his confidants. Then, he personally went forward to fight Helian Muchuan. Liu Donglai had been hunting for a long time and was already quite skilled. Later, when he arrived at the military camp and received guidance from his superiors, his strength was naturally not weak. The two fought for several rounds and both were injured. This time, Helian Muchuan's anger was completely aroused. At this time, Liu Donglai pretended to be unable to do it and retreated while fighting.

At the same time, those confidants also created some commotion not far away, delaying Helian Muchuan's personal guards.

Helian Muchuan was stabbed in the arm by Liu Donglai again. He was furious at this moment and was determined to cut the man in front of him into pieces. So he didn't care whether there were other people around him, and chased Liu Donglai directly with the mace in his hand.

Liu Donglai retreated and looked back, and saw that the enemy had finally entered their encirclement and gradually slowed down. Seeing this, Helian Muchuan thought that he was exhausted, so he rode his horse to catch up with him, shouting, "Dongsheng coward, give me your life!" and attacked Liu Donglai with the mace in his hand.

Liu Donglai dodged quickly and chopped off the horse's leg with his backhand. Helian Muchuan stumbled and fell to the ground. Liu Donglai took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, with the flash of his knife, and chopped towards Helian Muchuan. After all, he was born in a military family, so Helian Muchuan quickly raised his stick to block and rolled to avoid it. Liu Donglai did not give up and stepped forward with his knife again. The two of them fought back and forth, and the battle was extremely fierce. In addition, Helian Muchuan was already in an ambush circle, and Liu Donglai's men harassed him from time to time, and soon he was exhausted.

In order to strike him dead while he was sick, Liu Donglai, despite being seriously injured, slashed at him several times and finally killed him with one blow and cut off his head.

At this time, Helian Muchuan's guards finally arrived. Seeing their master being killed and his head cut off, their eyes instantly turned red. They shouted "Young General!" and rushed over on horseback. However, Liu Donglai was seriously injured in the waist and abdomen and was unable to fight. Fortunately, several of his confidants were extremely loyal. One of them carried him on his back, and another protected him by his side. They quickly took him back, and the rest of them led their team to delay the pursuers.

After a day and night of bloody fighting, the Mu family army, with their fearless will, saved 80,000 Beihan soldiers at the cost of 50,000 casualties and killed several enemy generals. The most valuable of them was Helian Muchuan, who was killed by Liu Donglai.

In the morning light, they finally repelled the ferocious Tatars, and the battlefield was in chaos.

Mu Jingfeng stood on the city wall and looked into the distance, his face heavy and sad. Although they won this battle, it was an extremely difficult victory. Outside the city wall, countless bodies of soldiers were carried out and piled up like a hill. The blood dyed the white snow red. The scene was shocking.

On the other side, in the main tent of Beihan, Helian Yue was extremely angry when he learned that his third son had been killed. He stared with bloodshot eyes and gnashed his teeth and shouted, "Investigate, find out who killed Chuan'er, I will cut him into pieces!" The soldier who reported back quickly retreated.

However, faced with the tenacious resistance of the Mu family army and the heavy losses suffered by his own side, even though Helian Yue was extremely angry, he had to temporarily withdraw his troops.

At this time, in the military medical tent of the Mu family army, although Liu Donglai had been treated overnight, his injuries were too serious. Not only was he unconscious, but he also had a high fever. His condition was extremely dangerous.

Liu Donglai's confidant and also his cousin Liu Mancang, stood by his side anxiously, wiping his body to cool him down while choking with sobs, "Brother, wake up, don't sleep anymore. Didn't you say that your sister-in-law gave birth to twin sons for you? You haven't seen them yet?"

"And Xu girl, don't you love her the most? If you can't wake up, what will you do if she is bullied again in the future?"

Xu Ruolan, who was far away in Liujia Village, was so panicked for some reason today that she stabbed herself several times.

Seeing this, Zi Ling couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Ruolan frowned, suppressed the panic in her heart, and shook her head: "It's okay, probably because the two children kept crying last night and didn't get enough rest."

In the military camp, Liu Mancang kept trying to wake Liu Donglai up, but no matter how he called, the man on the bed still didn't open his eyes. He couldn't help but turn to the military doctor and ask, "Uncle Kong, please, think of another way. My brother can't die!"

Uncle Kong sighed, shook his head and said: "He is too badly injured. Unless we have a hundred-year-old ginseng, maybe we can save his life...but we are in the military camp now...ah"

When Mu Lingxuan heard the news and rushed over, he heard this. He pursed his lips and immediately turned to the main tent. He remembered that his father's old ginseng had not been used up.

In the main account, Mu Jingfeng listened to his son's words and without saying anything, he asked someone to bring over the remaining ginseng. He also invited his old military doctor, patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Go!" Then he looked at the old military doctor and said, "Mr. Shen, please be sure to save him!"

He had already heard from his subordinates how Liu Donglai had lured Helian Muchuan to his death. Although he was born in poverty, he was a rare military talent. It was said that none of his fellow villagers who had been conscripted with him had died in battle so far. Moreover, his daughter had indirectly saved his life, and now the soldiers were eating the mushrooms supplied by his family. For both public and private reasons, he had to protect this man.

No one knew that Liu Xu woke up from a dream last night. In the dream, her cheap father was covered in blood. She was so scared that she didn't sleep for half the night, but she didn't dare to tell anyone, especially not to let her mother notice anything...
