[Zhili] stick to this one heart and never leave

A red triangular amulet was fastened to Xun Xiao's neck, and it was lifted a few inches away from his heart by the wind, and then twisted back by the onion-like fingertips, and then the white hand was held.

"You, let's go, go early and come back early." Yu Yuan raised her head and gave Xun Xiao a bright smile.

Xun Xiao felt very uncomfortable, and patted his head, "Protect yourself well.

"You are the one," Yuyuan paused, "I'm in the camp, but you...be careful."

When they first came to Tianquan, the two also separated.But at that time, he was a prince sent by another country, and no one would do anything to him if there was no major incident, and Xun Xiao followed the team far away, although he was not in the same place, he knew that the other party was safe.But now, it is clear that the place he is going to is full of dangers, and the killers along the way intercept... Forcibly suppressing the worries in her heart, Yuyuan still smiled like a spring breeze, hugged Xun Xiao's waist, and buried her head in his heart , After a long time like this, Yuyuan suddenly broke away from Xun Xiao's embrace, pushed him a step outside, and said with a smile, "Okay, sticky, let's go."

Xun Xiao silently took a deep look at him, then at Zhi Ming and Murong Li behind him, Zhi Ming nodded to him.Xun Xiao withdrew his gaze, glanced at Yu Yuan again, then turned around and got on the horse, pulled the rein, the horse neighed, and Yu Yuan clenched his sleeves tightly in an instant, until the clacking horse's hooves gradually went away and disappeared. There was a slight tremor in the wind, as if the horse's hoof had picked up the wind and hooked his soul to accompany that person.

"Yuyuan." A pair of hands rested on his shoulders.

Yuyuan turned her head, feeling blurred in front of her eyes. He subconsciously wiped away the water stains on his hand, and smiled with difficulty, "Oh, what's wrong with me, heh... Really... Brother Murong, don't laugh at me."

Seeing him like this, Murong Li felt so stuffy in his heart, he thought of the heart-piercing pain when he and Zhi Ming parted in the past.

Yuyuan wiped away her tears again, but she couldn't stop, she touched her several times, her hands were suddenly clenched, "Cry if you want to cry."

Yuyuan's lips trembled, and she swallowed, "I... I don't want to cry, I obviously don't want to cry, but I just can't stop... I believe him..."

Murong Li hesitated for a moment, but still hugged Yuyuan into his arms, and patted him on the back lightly, he is not good at coaxing people, this is the only thing he can do.

Yuyuan is a very caring child. After crying, she still does what she should do. She was still so focused on taking Zhiming's blood, for fear of hurting him.

Zhi Ming quietly watched his movements, and suddenly remembered the scene after Xun Xiao left, Murong Li hugged Yu Yuan, although there was no extra words, he was trying to comfort him.

His Ali is really different from before.

When Zhi Ming walked into the tent with the medicine, Murong Li was in a daze, seeing him in a daze, Zhi Ming suddenly felt distressed, put the medicine on the table quietly, stepped forward and put him in his arms, "The widow just left For a while, let Ah Li be so dreamy..."

Murongli came back to his senses, looked at the unscrupulous person, smiled faintly, the corners of his eyes dimmed instantly as he scanned the medicine on the table.It has been a long time since Zhiming saw the gloom between his brows, this kind of Murongli made him see the young man who just came to Tianquan many years ago.

"A Li..." Zhi Ming forced a smile and caressed his brow, "Xun Xiao's lightness skills are excellent, nothing will happen."

Murongli looked at the person in front of him quietly, he asked himself that he was a person who was good at hiding himself, when he got his thoughts, this person could guess exactly, and when it started, when he was happy and angry, in this person In front of him, he no longer has the slightest concealment.

"Zhi Ming," Murong Li leaned over and hugged his waist, resting his head on his belly, and asked softly, "Zhi Ming, will you be tired when you're with me?"

Murongli clearly knew that what Zhiming wanted was always a simple life, but now that the war was raging, and more and more people were involved in it, he felt deeply tired for the first time.He is like this, so what about Zhiming?Wouldn't he be tired after going through one storm after another with him?Won't you get tired?

He didn't believe it.

Zhi Ming didn't answer, just hugged him gently, he really wanted to tell this person in his arms that he would indeed be tired, but as long as he was hugged, only by hugging him, he would feel complete and he would have the courage To spend the rest of my unknown life.

The army arrived at the border of Yaoguang in the evening, and only two iron nails were set up in the camp. They rode Juechen with iron hooves, and suddenly broke the calm.

Geng Chen turned over and dismounted, with blood stains on his face, and a few cuts on his body, not very serious, and had already formed dark scabs.

He didn't slack off for a moment, and hurried into the big tent. Murongli had already left the throne after hearing the news. When he saw him coming in, he hurriedly supported him, his brows furrowed deeply, and before he could speak, he heard Geng Chen say, "My lord, General Xiao may be in danger !"

Just as Xiao Ran expected, the Yuheng army did change the battle formation, but what he didn't expect was that the change of the battle formation happened suddenly during the battle between the two armies.

In the battle before Geng Chen left Jingyang City, Yuheng appeared out of nowhere with a general wearing a ghost mask. Originally, the two armies faced each other in a dry formation, and the formation was shaped like Qian Gua, with heavy armored soldiers holding sharp shields in the first row Pushing forward, unexpectedly, the opponent's battle formation was suddenly divided into two columns, encircling Xiao Ran's army.

"It's the hexagram 'Pull'." Murongli's pupils were heavy.

"Where does this ghost-faced general come from?" Mo Lan asked, "Since General Xiao expected that the opponent would change formation, why didn't he guard against it?"

Xiaopang also looked at everyone with a puzzled expression.

"It's not that simple." Zhi Ming said, "The confrontation between the two armies is not a duel between two people, Xiao Ran is defeated in the battle and changed teams."

Seeing that Mo Lan was still in a daze, Zhi Ming asked back, "When two people fight, how does Mo Lan think they can win?"

Of course, Mo Lan doesn't like to study such inelegant things like fighting, but he still has common sense, "Left is just pulling up the sleeves, rolling up the trousers, trying to suppress the other party with all your strength."

Zhi Ming smiled, "That's right, if two people face off against each other, the outcome can be easily determined by strength, so what about two against three?"

Mo Lan thought for a while, "The one with the most people wins?" Seeing Zhi Ming, Murongli and Yu Yuan's faces were all unpredictable, he suddenly felt that his judgment was too easy, and hesitated, "You can't say that , um...Let’s see which side is stronger, otherwise how did so many battles come about in which the less wins the more?”

Yuyuan said, "That's it. A war may not be won with a large number of people. If you don't control it properly, it may hinder you."

Mo Lan was confused when he heard it, and suddenly a ray of light seemed to penetrate his mind, enlightening him, "It is true, if a person wants to win, then he only needs to control his fists and feet and fight with all his strength, and fighting side by side with others is enough." , in addition to controlling yourself, you also need to cooperate with others, so when the two armies confront each other, apart from yourself, there is also the dispatch and coordination of thousands of troops, so the more soldiers there are, the more the general's coordination and control will be tested."

"Xiao Ransu cultivated the military way, I believe him." Murongli said lightly, then turned to Geng Chen, "How many people does that ghost-faced general have under his command?"

Just as Geng Chen was about to speak, he coughed violently again, presumably due to an internal injury.Yuyuan hurriedly helped him to sit down, Xiaopang poured tea for him.Geng Chen drank a little, and replied in a hoarse voice after recovering from his breath, "Wang Shangying, the ghost-faced general did have a separate team, but some of his subordinates couldn't understand it, it seemed tens of thousands, but sometimes Again like thousands of people."

Everyone finds it inconceivable, what is "sometimes tens of thousands, sometimes thousands"?

"Could it be that the ghost-faced general is leading ghost soldiers?" Fatty couldn't figure it out.

Mo Lan frowned, and suddenly clapped her hands together and said, "It's a split formation."

"What formation is that?" Fatty asked.

Mo Lan smiled and said, "This is not a specific formation, but a flexible use of the formation. Isn't it because there are too many people and sometimes the mobility is not enough? Then when necessary, separate the unnecessary people and split them into small teams. This is a very common tactic, maybe it has been integrated into the changes of the 64 hexagram formation, and its power is different."

Mo Lan is worthy of being the queen of the generals. Although he never likes this kind of fighting and killing, he still has a little bit of it.Geng Chen sighed a little after hearing this, and was about to ask Murongli again, when he saw him lowering his head, thinking about something, and Zhiming didn't seem to be listening to everyone's discussion, just staring at him closely.

Seeing Geng Chen suddenly stop talking, everyone looked at Zhi Ming and Murong Li together, Murong Li noticed something different, paused for a moment, raised his head and said, "In that case, let's hurry up."

"Then let's... let's get ready, let's all get ready." Mo Lan greeted everyone, and helped Geng Chen back out of the tent.

Murongli got up and walked to the map, Zhiming looked at the silent back, also silent.

"General Xiao!"

Xiao Ran opened his eyes, his eyes were blood red and his nasal cavity was filled with a fishy smell. He was only stunned for a moment before being awakened by the deafening shouts and the sound of war drums.

"General!"

Hearing the sound, Xiao Ran raised his head, the person who called him was one of his lieutenants named Lian An, who was still very young, because he was brave in killing the enemy and had some skills, so he made an exception and brought him up.This kid is quite handsome, Xiao Ran remembers being a little surprised when he saw him kill the enemy for the first time, but now this guy's head and face are covered in blood, but his eyes are still energetic, shining brightly in the filth Shining brightly, but he couldn't bear it.

"It's coming again." Xiao Ran smiled coldly. He tried his best to bring the army back to the city in the last battle. When the city gate was closed, he finally couldn't hold it anymore. Then he opened his eyes. The other party was yelling outside the city again. It is clear that they are not only attacking the city, but also the people in the city.Taking a deep breath, he supported Lian An's shoulders, and stood up slowly. Seeing him calmly, he seemed to be fine, and the soldiers around him breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Ran lowered his head to look at the wound on his heart that had been wrapped several times, he paused for a moment, and then looked back.He was right on the top of the tower, and he could have a clear view of the whole city. Behind the row upon row of pavilions, in the royal city behind the city after city, there are still people waiting for him...

They all agreed to go back.

With a slight twitch of the corners of his lips, Xiao Ran suddenly showed a smile that was very inconsistent with the current situation, warm, soft, and filled with endless nostalgia.He stepped over the crowd to the side of the horse, summoned the generals around him, spoke in a low voice for a while, and then jumped on the horse...

The heavy city gate opened slowly, and the sound of fighting resounded throughout the sky. Jingyang City is not suitable for defense, this point is very clear to Xiao Ran, he can't let siege equipment approach this city, so he must fight.He can't be the one who triumphs, but he can wait for Murong Li to come.He knew that Murongli must be on the way here, the person who can apply all the changes in the 64 hexagrams to the extreme, if there is such a person in the world, it must be his King Yaoguang!

and so……

"Soldiers of Yaoguang! I swear to protect my country with my soul! Wrapped in horse leather, even if I die, I will have no regrets!"

This time, Xiao Ran tightened his reins, jumped over the heavy armored soldiers in the front row of the "Dry Formation", rode his horse in front, and rushed towards the enemy at an almost crazy speed.As he expected, the Yuheng army still fought in a "dry formation". Xiao Ran fixed his eyes on the sharp edges, his eyes glowed with a cold light, and at the moment when he was about to approach, he suddenly pulled the reins, and then The heavy-armored soldiers in the first row of the "Dry Formation" encircled and went up. The Yuheng Army seized the opportunity to surround the Yaoguang Army on the outside. Xiao Ran smiled coldly, raised his hand and made a fist in the air. The regiment, holding a shield to cover, although it was extremely difficult to passively resist, it was also in a stalemate with Yuheng's army.

A whistle suddenly sounded in Yuheng's army.

coming!Xiao Ran's eyes froze, and a murderous aura swept across his pupils.Sure enough, Yuheng's army split out a team, and the leader was the masked man.He held his breath and concentrated, suddenly clamped the horse's belly, and rode away to the side...

On the observation deck in the distance, Zhong Kunyi took a leisurely sip of tea and sighed approvingly, "It's a bit of a skill to break the shackles and not stick to the rules." He put down the tea cup, stroked the edge of the tea cup with his fingers, and tapped On the side of the drumstick, he only paused for a moment, then picked it up neatly, his eyes were cold, and he smiled half-smile, "It's a pity, it's still almost ready."

Boom...boom...boom...

With the sound of a few drums, the ghost-faced general who followed Xiao Ran took up the reins, slightly curled his lips, and looked at Xiao Ran indifferently.

Xiao Ran stopped instinctively, and the moment he turned his head, a heart-piercing cry came from a distance, pulling his heart to the bottom almost instantly.Xiao Ran stared blankly at the Yuheng Army who appeared from nowhere in the distance, the soldiers under him were so surrounded that they could not be seen, only fighting and desperate cries could be heard.

Xiao Ran's mind went blank for a moment. He understood the opponent's little trick of splitting the formation, and also grasped the only weakness of this trick - the dispersion of troops. far surpassed the soldiers he led...

Fang Ye, if I promise you, I probably won't be able to do it. A man who doesn't keep his promise is not worth entrusting at all, so don't worry about me too much...

Xiao Ran held the sword in one hand and the rein in the other, "The army of Yaoguang, swear to protect our homeland with the soul and body! Wrapped in horse leather, even if you die, you will have no regrets!"

With Zhentian's cry, the ghost-faced man was slightly sluggish, but it was only for a moment before he came into close contact with the oncoming Xiao Ran.

"Overestimating one's abilities!" The ghost-masked man snorted coldly.

Xiao Ran smiled contemptuously, "That's not necessarily the case."

"General!" There was a heavenly shout from the Yuheng army in the distance, it was Lian An's voice.

Xiao Ran knew that he had already broken through, and at this point, all formations were scattered, but he still refused to take a step back. He believed in Geng Chen, his brothers, and his king!

Just hold Yuhengjun's footsteps, just hold on a little longer, that's all.

I don't know how many wounds were stabbed and cut on his body. It's strange to say that when there was only one wound, it was so painful that it was difficult to lift his hand, but when the whole body was wounded, he didn't feel the pain anymore. How cheap it is, I still have the mood to smile...

General Ghost Face was protected by the Yuheng army, and he was much more energetic than him. Seeing that Xiao Ran's eyes were red, he seemed to be planning to retreat behind the scenes.Xiao Ran suddenly felt bad, if the leader of the army was allowed to be free, then there was no guarantee that the large number of Yuheng Army would not send out another team to attack the city.

It was said that the poor should not chase after him, but Xiao Ran had no choice but to chase after him. He wanted to entangle the ghost-faced general, entangled him like a ghost.

Zhong Kunyi has been watching the battle situation closely, a hint of impatience gradually appeared on his face, "What the hell are you doing!"

He swung the drumsticks and beat the war drum again, the sound was urgent like a talisman, the Yuheng army was forced to turn to fight, but was restrained by the Yaoguang army...

What Murongli saw when he climbed the tower was such a scene. There was already a sea of ​​blood in front of Jingyang City, and the two sides fought into a pot of porridge.Mo Lan stood aside in a daze. In the past, he went out to sea when there was not much melee in Nakagaki, and he had never witnessed the cruelty of war with his own eyes. Now, the scene in front of him made him repeat only two words in his mind - "Purgatory" .

It's really purgatory, even the generals around Zhiming were shocked for a moment.Zhi Ming looked at Murongli, the man just turned his back to him and looked at the scene below the city, the wind above the city tower tossed his sleeve robe and black hair, the man was only silent for a moment, then he covered his ears with lightning speed. Grab the hammer of the war drum and beat the drum.

The horns and drums blared loudly, and the Yaoguang army howled suddenly. Zhong Kunyi hummed bitterly, but he caught up with him.But... Zhong Kunyi smiled lightly, "If we catch up, we can only clean up the battlefield."

The Jingyang city gate was opened again, and the Tianquan army rushed out of the city like a mountain torrent, and the sound of killing resounded through the sky.

Murongli beat the drum three times, the Tianquan army was divided into two teams, and the drum was beat again three times, the army formed into three teams, the middle and the left, all the way to rescue the Yaoguang army who had broken through, and the whole way as defense and support, while the right army Luo Heng personally led the army towards Xiao Ran.

Zhong Kunyi lightly tapped the drumstick with her fingers, originally she didn't intend to kill Xiao Ran, but since Murongli is here, so one less person who understands the formation plan, wouldn't it just be a place for Lord Murong to show his skills?

Zhong Kunyi discarded the drumsticks and took out a short whistle. The sharp and piercing voice pierced through the shouts of killing. The ghost-masked man's footsteps that were about to leave suddenly stopped, and after a moment of silence, he stabbed at Xiao Ran with his sword. Xiao Ran was gone. He was exhausted and was beheading a Yuheng soldier who rushed forward, but he didn't expect that there was a dark sword behind him...

Bark!It was the sound of the sword piercing through the flesh and then being pulled out mercilessly...

"General Xiao!" Luo Heng called out in a trembling voice, drawing his bow and answering the arrow...

With a strong wind, Bai Ling drew an arc in the air, General Guimian dodged, fell off his horse, and retreated under the protection of Yuheng Army.

"Lian An!" Xiao Ran fell under the horse, the dust scooped up by the horse's hooves blinded him, making him unable to see clearly the person who pushed him away at the very moment.

It seemed that the spear of the enemy pierced the man's back, and the figure of the man seemed to be submerged by the messy hooves of the horse.

Xiao Ran's eyes flickered, and at the last moment before he lost consciousness, he thought of the gratitude and fighting spirit in his eyes on the day that child was promoted to lieutenant general by him, and he thought of him telling him, "The kindness of a drop of water, should be repaid by a spring." .”

In Jingyang City, the retreating Yaoguang Army suffered heavy casualties, wailing everywhere, and the bloody smell filled every corner, making it impossible to hide.

"How is Xiao Ran?" Murong Li asked.

Yuyuan and Imperial Physician Ling looked at each other, not wanting to embarrass him, so she replied for him, "The weapon is poisoned... It depends on his good fortune."

Murongli's hand tightened his shirt in an instant, Zhi Ming raised his hand to caress his shoulder, "Go in and have a look..."

Before Zhi Ming could finish speaking, Murong Li suddenly lifted Zhi Ming's hand, turned and left.

Zhi Ming was stunned for a moment, quickly chased after him, and stopped Murongli in an empty room.

"A Li..." Zhi Ming called him, feeling helpless.

Murongli turned around, with indescribable sadness in his pale eyes, he stretched out his hand to Zhiming, "Give me back the Yan Zhi."

He knew that Zhi Ming had been carrying Yan Zhi all along, and he was in the accompanying salute.Eight strange swords, this man doesn't care about any of them, he only wants his swallow branch.

"I won't let you go." Zhi Ming shook his head slowly.

The two were deadlocked like this, Zhi Ming never disobeyed Murong Li's wishes, but this time he will not compromise.

Murongli shifted his gaze to the star inscription on Zhi Ming's waist, and suddenly said, "Do you think I can take the star inscription?"

Zhiming's heart ached, he untied the sword, handed it to Murongli, and said with a wry smile, "Ah Li, do you want to try?"

With four eyes fixed, Murong Li slowly raised his hand to caress the Xing Ming Sword, the moment he grasped the sword, Zhi Ming pulled the sword back and held Murong Li into his arms.

"A Li...it's not your fault." Zhiming said distressedly, "You are obviously not such an impulsive person, you know that Zhong Kunyi is waiting for you, why do you want to throw yourself into a trap?"

Murongli closed his eyes in pain, and flung Zhiming away, "Yes, he hurt Xiao Ran just to lead me to face the enemy. You also know that he wanted my life, but I hurt Xiao Ran and the whole Yaoguang. !"

Zhiming's lips parted slightly, but he couldn't speak a single word. This kind of Murongli reminded him of Murongli on the night many years ago when the soldiers came to the city.

That was the first time he got angry at him, said the most heartless words in the world, and pushed him out of his world, the world he couldn't keep safe.He was too young then to understand his insecurity, but this time he won't be intimidated by him again.

Zhi Ming took a step forward and took his hand, "Ah Li...don't do this, don't punish yourself."

Murong Li laughed at himself, "Don't I deserve it?"

"Ah Li..." Zhi Ming's eyes were sour, he stared at Murong Li for a moment, and said awkwardly, "Then do you think you are punishing yourself, or punishing me?"

Murong Li was stunned for a moment before he realized that the bright and cynical eyes of the man in front of him were covered with a layer of dust, like a haze covering the sky, making people breathless.

Zhi Ming, Xiao Ran... and...

Murongli suddenly discovered that in this life he had stepped through so much blood, every step he took had broken the peaceful lives of so many people.

"Zhiming, it's my fault. I planted hatred and strife on the land of Zhongyuan." Murong Li said in a daze, "I led the rest to destroy Tianshu, it was me who committed the crime."

"It wasn't you," Zhi Ming had never seen Murongli like this before, he hugged him knowingly, full of pity but he didn't know how to make him feel it, "it was Tianxuan who destroyed Yaoguang first, not Ah Li wrong."

"If I want revenge, it's fine if I fight against Tianxuan, but I'm not..." Murongli was held in Zhi Ming's arms, and he closed his eyes in pain, "Zhongyuan was originally peaceful, but it was me who deliberately planned to disrupt the world... Zhi Ming, I'm not as good as you think." He stood up, cupped Zhi Ming's face, and smiled sadly, "What did you think of me at that time? Restoring the country? Heh..." Murong Li laughed at himself , the smile became more and more determined, "You don't know how difficult it is to restore a country. I didn't have such delusions at the time. What I want is that the countries in the Central Plains kill each other, and I want the whole world to be buried for me! Why are you all fine when the Yaoguang is gone? Why!"

"A Li..."

"There is also Tianquan in the Zhongyuan kingdoms... and you... Zhiming, and you, do you know?" Murongli caressed his cheek, his brows and eyes turned red with a smile, "Don't you think I'm very cute?" Is it scary?"

"..."

"I'm just a ghost with blood on my hands, wandering around the world looking for revenge."

After quietly listening to the person in front of him, Zhi Ming stroked Murongli's side face, and suddenly smiled softly, "That widow is specialized in catching ghosts."

Murong Li frowned, he didn't understand how this person could still smile at him after hearing all this, "Aren't you afraid of me?" Murong Li shook his head, looking deeply into those eyes that were as deep as the deep sea, " Don't you think it's scary that there is a man with a deep city who sleeps next to your pillow and plots against you all the time?"

"A Li..." Zhi Ming leaned down and gently kissed the eyes that were staring at him, and said with a smile, "Do you think I like you because you are an exile?" Before Murong Li could answer, Zhi Ming Then he said, "I never believed in ghosts and gods, and I don't like Tianji asking God to ask divination for everything. If you want to do it, just let it go and don't regret it. I always feel that I was born into an emperor's family by mistake, so I want to pamper you. I'll give you things I can't get in this life, but when you insisted on going to sleep, I knew you couldn't let go of too many things. Since you can't let go, I'll take care of it for you."

Murongli listened quietly, looked at the man in front of him quietly, a feeling of fear filled his heart, he rested his head on Zhi Ming's heart, and said wearily, "Zhi Ming...I have killed many people. But there is one person , He shouldn't have died, he was young and promising, he was upright and upright, he regarded me as a confidant...he... never doubted me until his death."

That man was Tianxuan's deputy prime minister, he killed him because he said "Yaoguang is nothing but a scenery on the road my king walks", he killed him, but because he was Lingguang's right-hand man and the pillar of Tianxuan's kingdom.

National enmity, interests, and the good he gave him, he chose the second of the three, and he didn't leave any room for Gongsun.

He is such a ruthless person.

"Zhiming, I owe the whole world a debt, even if I die, I will never be able to repay it."

Zhi Ming closed his eyes and sighed, Murong Li had never said these words to him, and he had never seen such a fragile Murong Li.Over the past few days, he has seen him become more and more silent, and he knows that he has been enduring those knots that have been accumulated in his heart for many years, and he is willing to tell him that he is both relieved and distressed so much that he doesn't know what to do.

"A Li must feel that he owes the whole world, so I will bear all the debts with A Li. If you want to be punished by God, I will start from me!"

Zhi Ming hugged Murong Li tightly in his arms, and each word was as important as a thousand weights, "The emperor is above, and the thick earth is below, as evidenced by the heaven and the earth, I Zhi Ming and Murong Li have entered into a marriage contract, and they have been married for a hundred years. We are in the same boat through thick and thin, we share weal and woe, we live together in life, and we die together in death.”

"Murong Li, I won't leave you, and you don't leave me either."

Murong Li sighed lightly, "Zhi Ming..."

The author has something to say:

I love you just because of you.
