Vanguards of the War of Resistance! Let's travel back in time together, classmates!

077 Yao Ji

"Ooh ooh ooh..."

The rooster crows at dawn, and the snow has stopped and the sky is clear.

The universe is bright and clear, a gift from nature.

The vast land is covered in a blanket of silver.

A thousand miles of ice, yet it seems as if a rainbow is soaring through the sky.

Watching the smoke curling from the chimneys, magpies perched on branches, dancing in the wind, it truly resembles a fairyland on earth... As Director Rui's poem says:

The scenery at the foot of Longnan Mountain is beautiful.

The Five Dragon Ridge is unparalleled in the world.

It is not seen in spring, summer, autumn, or winter.

A paradise on earth is located in Liaoning.

"Hey... what are you doing, not again... um..."

A spring breeze stirred inside, and soon the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, leaving the house as quiet as ever.

"Um, I heard from my brother that you went to him for fortune telling, and there was something about it. What's going on...?" Shangguan Yun couldn't help but ask.

"Ugh... Your older brother is even uglier, he tricked me... I won't tell you, hmph..." Song Xiaoyun was still angry with Qi Chunlin.

"Um...what is it? Tell me, I'll keep it a secret...ah..." Shangguan Yun grinned lewdly, then shouted.

"Hmph...you bad person," Song Xiaoyun said softly, biting Shangguan Yun's shoulder hard.

"It was like this: this year on the Dragon Boat Festival, when I went to the Dragon King Temple at the foot of the mountain to offer incense, I obtained a ladle of divine water from the ancient well in the backyard. I saw it bathed in a seven-colored glow, and after drinking it, its clear and sweet taste reached my very core. That night, when I returned to the village, I dreamt of someone who... and I spent the night together..."

"Haha...so you had a wet dream, huh..." Shangguan Yun laughed.

"Ugh, I'm not talking to you anymore. You always make fun of me..." Song Xiaoyun rolled her eyes at Shangguan Yun and turned her head away.

"No way... Tell me, does that person look like me?" Shangguan Yun said shamelessly.

"Hmm... Although I can't see its true face, I've had this dream several times, and from behind, it looks exactly like you..."

"Really...did that person say his name...?"

"He said his name was Song Yu, but he called me by another name I'd never heard before..."

"What's your name..."

"Yao Ji..."

"boom..."

Upon hearing this name, Shangguan Yun's mind resounded as if a long-sealed door had been suddenly opened, and a flood of information rushed into his memory. Images, names, and fragmented stories flashed through his mind.

"You are Yao Ji, Yun Hua Nu, a disciple of the Queen Mother of the West, ah... hurry up and run... ah..."

Suddenly, Shangguan Yun clutched his head with both hands, his head throbbing with pain. His body convulsed, and he fainted...

It was past noon when Shangguan Yun finally woke up. During this time, he tried to find out the cause of the whole incident through the system, but the system could not answer because the system seal had not been broken and the query could not be performed.

Shangguan Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly to himself. It seemed that he really was a person with a story, and that Song Xiaoyun must have some inexplicable connection with him in the dark.

When Shangguan Yun woke up, Song Xiaoyun was by his bedside, with a basin next to him. She was wringing out a wet towel and wiping Shangguan Yun's sweat from time to time. Outside, a group of generals were waiting anxiously.

"Did I sleep for a long time...?" Shangguan Yun asked.

"Not long after, only half a day, I kept talking in my dream, calling me... no... Yao Ji's name, and I was sweating a lot..." Song Xiaoyun replied slowly.

"Ah?...Oh...It's alright, just ask the people outside to wait a moment, I'll be right back..."

With Song Xiaoyun's help, Shangguan Yun washed his face, ate something simple, changed into clean clothes, and went outside.

It was past noon, and after a night of recovery, everyone was full of energy, and the soldiers were all in high spirits.

Everyone was relieved to see that Shangguan Yun was safe and sound, because many people had seen him survive being shot more than a dozen times yesterday, and that he was able to fight his way to Wulongkou and then return to the stronghold.

Most people were completely baffled. When they heard that Shangguan Yun had fallen into a coma this morning, they all assumed it was due to a relapse of his injuries and were very worried.

Seeing Shangguan Yun now, full of energy and showing no signs of illness, everyone was immediately astonished. They looked at each other in disbelief, wondering how the commander's injuries had healed. Only a few people knew the secret.

"What are you all looking at? Haven't you ever seen this before?" Shangguan Yun rolled her eyes at everyone.

"Ah...haha...no...no..." Everyone felt awkward.

"Hehe... Commander, are you really alright? You took more than a dozen shots, didn't you?" Zhao Peng asked with a silly grin.

"Stop talking nonsense, everyone can see it...Alright...Pass the word that a post-battle debriefing meeting will be held in the command hall in 20 minutes. All officers of platoon rank and above must attend...Go ahead..."

Immediately, everyone went to notify their respective groups, leaving only Qi Chunlin and a few others at the scene.

"Brother, I heard that Xu Wengang is now at his base in Xiaodiantun. Do you know the situation there...?"

“That’s right, I arranged for people to meet them yesterday, they should be arriving soon,” Shangguan Yun said with a smile.

Just then, someone rushed in from outside, "Reporting... Commander, the men from Daheishan have arrived at the north gate of the stronghold and are about to enter..."

"Oh? Speak of the devil and he appears... Ah... Hehe... Sister, Brother, officers, let's go out of the camp together to greet him."

As they talked, they all left the hall and strode toward the village gate.

Just outside the inner gate, a group of people arrived, the very team sent to greet them. Yu Chaofeng followed behind, returning to report on his duties.

At this moment, Li Xia, who was the first to arrive, was holding Xu Wengang and sobbing uncontrollably.

Shangguan Yun strode forward and saw Xu Wengang, his clothes stained with blood, and Chen Jinshan, lying on a stretcher gazing at the sky. He sighed, thinking...

Yesterday's heroes were full of vigor, but today they've fallen to such a state. It's truly unpredictable how things turn out. I feel quite ashamed and can't help but quicken my pace.

"Xiaogang, you've finally arrived! I was so worried about you. How is Chief Chen..." Shangguan Yun said as he approached the stretcher.

Upon seeing Shangguan Yun arrive, Chen Jinshan struggled to his feet, his face completely pale, his hair disheveled, his clothes stained with blood, and he looked extremely haggard.

"Brother Shangguan, I...sigh..." Chen Jinshan looked at the dozen or so soldiers who remained beside him, his eyes reddened, and he turned away, tears streaming down his face.

Shangguan Yun also felt a pang of sorrow, but quickly recovered:

"Haha... Brother Chen, why bother? As the saying goes, victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. As long as you're alive, you can always make a comeback. If you're still alive today, you might as well rise again someday."

The defeat of Daheishan today is not your fault, but the result of the treacherous people's schemes. Chief Chen is a chivalrous and upright man, how could he possibly guard against such a wicked villain?

Today's events are most closely related to my Song Family Village. If it weren't for Chief Chen's help to my Song Family Village, we wouldn't have been taken advantage of by these treacherous people.

"But rest assured, Chief Chen, I, Shangguan Yun, hereby swear that as long as I have a breath left, I will assist you in eliminating the treacherous officials and reclaiming Daheishan. Heaven and earth can bear witness to this..."
