Bringing love across time and space

Over there, on the city wall filled with flames and smoke, Xiao Yan and his soldiers stood on a mountain peak.

Looking at those former comrades standing on the crumbling walls of Pingyao County,

The fierce battles over the past few days have sharpened their wills to be as hard as rock.

However, it was difficult to resist the enemy's overwhelming offensive.

The cracks in the city wall are like scars of time, foreshadowing its imminent collapse.

And the city gate, the once sturdy protective gate, is now like a candle in the wind, in danger.

Seeing the soldiers who fought side by side with me on weekdays and whose uniforms were stained with blood,

There was determination and reluctance in their eyes, but more importantly, they wanted Xiao Yan to evacuate safely.

Several deputy generals stood up, their voices seemed particularly firm in the roar of the war drums over there:

"Sir, you retreat first. We are willing to die to cover your retreat!" This scene was very moving to Xiao Yan.

It was as if a tragic plot jumped out of a book, but I never thought it would happen to me so dramatically.

He knew that this battle would not go smoothly, but he did not expect it to be like this.

Before the real fight even started, he was defeated.

It was truly the biggest failure in his life!

However, reality does not allow for any hesitation. Xiao Yan knows very well that

An individual's stay or departure is no longer a simple matter of choice, but concerns the life and death of thousands of soldiers.

Although he was extremely unwilling, he also understood that even if he wanted to sacrifice his life for the city,

He must also consider the brothers who have followed him through life and death.

Thus, the hero's helplessness and determination intertwined together.

It turned into a brief and powerful command from his mouth: "Everyone evacuate!"

Most of the people in the city had been safely evacuated in the previous emergency evacuation, which made Xiao Yan feel a little relieved.

He knew very well that as the commander of a city, protecting the people from the suffering of war was his primary responsibility.

If due to my negligence, innocent people suffer disaster again,

Even if he managed to survive, he would not be able to face his fellow citizens in Kyoto.

Following Xiao Yan's order, the army began to retreat in an orderly manner. Their backs lengthened in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Every step was heavy and reluctant. The warhorse Xiao Yan rode seemed to sense his master's mood.

The sound of horse hooves echoed in the empty grassland, carrying a hint of tragedy and determination.

Their destination was Liangzhou City, a more majestic and solid fortress.

After that there were Yuezhou City, Qiongzhou City, Jinzhou City, Quzhou, Liangzhou, and all the way to the distant and glorious Kyoto.

This journey is not only a road of escape, but also a way to regroup and build up strength for resistance.

Xiao Yan turned around and took one last look at this small town - Pingyao County.

Its outline gradually blurred in the smoke, like a piece of history that was about to be forgotten.

His heart was filled with an indescribable emotion, a mixture of grief for loss,

There is also anxiety about the unknown future.

He didn't know if he would have the chance to set foot on this land again and regain the regret and responsibility that belonged to him.

On the other side of the city gate, the sky was filled with artillery fire, shouts, screams, and curses intertwined into a tragic war song.

That is the music composed by the warriors with their lives.

Xiao Yan hardened his heart, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and the whip in his hand drew a sharp arc in the air.

It landed heavily on the horse's back, accompanied by a crisp crack of the whip.

He and his horse rushed out of the encirclement like an arrow, and behind him were the soldiers who followed closely and vowed to follow him to the death.

In the gentle moment of the first light of dawn, Lin Qingya was ready to go.

She wanted to perform surgery on Rouer today, and she was extremely cautious and expectant about the operation.

Today, her goal is to remove the blood clot from Rouer's brain.

Let Rouer remember everything that happened in the past so that she can find out Rouer's true identity.

However, fate always seems to sway us gently at the most critical moment.

Last night, Lin Qingya was upset because of the trouble caused by those people from the Ghost Gate, and she couldn't sleep peacefully.

The night was as dark as ink, and only the stars accompanied her through most of the night. Later, she was so tired that she slept for less than two hours.

In order to make up for the lack of rest, Lin Qingya had to use the spiritual spring water.

In order to restore physical and mental strength in a short time.

This spiritual spring contains the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Drinking it every day can not only strengthen your body, but also clear your mind and eyes.

It is one of the indispensable practices in Lin Qingya and Gu Yuchen’s daily life.

On weekdays, the two of them always like to bathe in the spiritual spring water together in the space.

Then they each drank three cups of spiritual spring water, as if this could wash away the fatigue of the world.

Allow your soul to have a moment of tranquility and sublimation.

But today, Lin Qingya's steps were a little heavier, and there was a barely perceptible fatigue in her eyes.

Perhaps it was because of the frequent intrusions from the Ghost Gate these days.

Like a ghost in the dark night, it made her mind uneasy and even her dreams were filled with disturbing thoughts.

Even so, she still walked towards Rouer's room firmly, silently repeating her faith in medical skills and awe of life in her heart.

In the past, with Gu Yuchen's company, they followed the daily rituals.

Soak in the spiritual spring,

Drink the spiritual water,

Just today,

Lin Qingya drank an extra cup.

It was a challenge to my own limits.

It is also a solemn commitment to the upcoming surgery.

And Rou'er also drank two cups of spiritual spring water under Lin Qingya's arrangement.

I hope it will give her some extra help with her surgery and make her road to recovery smoother.

Afterwards, Lin Qingya issued strict orders to An Yi.

Ensure the quietness and safety outside the operating room and do not allow anyone to disturb her while she is doing surgery inside.

As for Ye Rongcheng, the man who was concerned about Rouer's safety, Lin Qingya let him stay on the mountain out of consideration.

Although it is far away from the hustle and bustle, it is also a different world:

The shower facilities are modern and convenient, hot water is available at all times, and the lights at night are as bright as day, illuminating every corner.

What is even more amazing is that the food there is simple but delicious. Even the simple meals in the military camp are delicious.

It is even better than the delicacies carefully prepared by his chef, and it makes people sigh that the beauty of the world is often hidden among the people.

Although Ye Rongcheng was in such an environment, he couldn't calm down.

Since he met Rou'er, he had never seen her smile. The deep melancholy on her face,

Just like the last fallen leaf in autumn, you can feel its coolness and heaviness with just a light touch.

He was always concerned about Rouer's safety. This worry was like a trickle of water, silent but long-lasting.

However, during the days he spent with Lin Qingya, he gradually understood the other party's kindness.

Although he didn't understand why Lin Qingya did this, he felt relieved since Lin Qingya had no ill intentions.

Therefore, even though he was extremely anxious, he chose to believe that Lin Qingya would do her best to treat Rouer.
