After arranging the accommodation for the two girls, Bai Feng immediately returned to his tent to rest. He sat in front of the earthen stove that had been dug, and a cool breeze blew across the tent curtain from time to time on his back. In front of him was a blazing fire steaming and roasting a pot of broth.
Bai Feng sat there, holding a bouquet of wild flowers in her arms, the same bouquet given by Murong Yan. He lowered his head and smelled the fragrance of wild flowers, thinking about something in his mind. His eyes were hazy and he was so absorbed that he didn't even notice that the boiling soup in front of him overflowed and splashed outside.
After a while, Murong Yan came over with a sense of relief. As soon as she entered the tent, she smelled that the broth in the stove had been evaporated, not a drop of soup was left in it, and the remaining pieces of meat were cooked to black. She quickly thought Fazi moved the stove away from the stove, then gently scolded Bai Feng and said.
"Brother Feng, have you forgotten to eat? This camp is full of burnt smell, can't you smell it at all?"
Bai Feng shyly raised the bouquet of flowers and replied, "I was smelling the fragrance of the flowers and didn't pay attention."
"Still thinking about what I told you?" Murong Yan bowed her head and took the flowers, and said with a smile: "Since you can't eat, let's take a rest early? Whether we can cross the front and return to Yuyi Town depends on Brother Feng, the 'General' can't be tired."
"General?" Bai Feng snickered one after another: "Hehehe, Yan'er, do you think I can be a general?"
Before she finished speaking, Murong Yan suddenly sat on the ground, gently hugged Bai Feng into her arms and comforted her, and said: "I am only a girl and I don't know how to fight. How can I know these things? However, I know that it is your time now. Rest now... don't worry, at least tonight, I will always be by your side."
After Bai Feng heard this, he realized that no matter how much he thought, it would be in vain, so he might as well continue to wait for the opportunity, then go back to bed and fall asleep. He slept soundly until late at night, and was only awakened by Murong Yan when the people who went out to inquire came back to report.
Two spies held a Rouran soldier hostage and knelt in front of Bai Feng's tent. They both paid tribute to Bai Feng.
"Mr. Bai, these are the Rouran soldiers we captured on the way."
"If you want to kill or release, please give Mr. Bai instructions."
After hearing this, the Rouran soldier immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Please, please let me go!" He spoke not very fluent Chinese, and his face was covered with blood and dirt.
Bai Feng said: "We are definitely not here to kill people. As long as you truthfully explain what I have asked about, it will be very easy to let you go."
"Okay, okay, okay... I will report it truthfully!" the soldier said.
"Why did you leave the army?"
"Our army made a surprise attack at night... but failed and was dispersed by the people of Yuyi Town."
"When is the next attack?"
"Sun...sunrise, before sunrise!"
Bai Feng thought for a moment and then immediately ordered: "Send the order to drop the baggage and move the whole army in a hurry. They must reach Yuyi Town before dawn! We have to tell them that Rouran's next attack is coming."
"Yes!" As soon as the herald officer bowed his hands in agreement, Bai Feng said to him again: "You can find fifteen people who are proficient in riding skills and come with me to explore the way forward."
"I obey!" said the herald, "I know that Mr. Bai will never sit idly by and do nothing!"
Bai Feng nodded, and those sharp eagle-like eyes seemed to sweep away the haze in an instant, returning to their usual perseverance. He looked at the captive Rouran and said, "Let him go and give him some food... Oh, remember to remove the weapons from him."
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"
As if Bai Feng didn't hear anything, she turned back to her account, packed her things, and got ready to go. At this time, Murong Yan found a pair of armor from somewhere and pretended to put it on for Bai Feng, saying, "Brother Feng, why don't you put on the armor first?"
"Throw it away quickly. Everyone else has discarded their armor. How can I wear it?" Bai Feng threw the randomly arranged baggage to Murong Yan, took the sword himself, and walked out of the tent holding Murong Yan's hand. , continued: "You quickly meet Miss Shen, A Jing will protect you on the road."
"You..." Murong Yan saw that the other party was going straight to the front line without any armor, and she was so anxious that she almost burst into tears. However, she quickly thought about the right and wrong, nodded and agreed: "Okay, remember , you must come back, come back alive... If you don’t come back, I will go find you.”
After speaking, Murong Yan untied the string of bells and tied them for Bai Feng, then turned to look for Shen Qiongzhi.
As time passed, Bai Feng led fifteen men and horses and drove straight in, and soon arrived at Gaixin. Among the corpses of Rouran soldiers and Yuyi soldiers everywhere, they discovered many Yuyi Town soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield.
Seeing this, Bai Feng rode his horse over and roared, "What are you doing? There are so many people holding torches here, are you afraid that the enemy can't see you?"
When a group of Yuyi soldiers saw this young boy making such a loud and unrestrained speech, they all mocked him.
"who are you?"
"never seen it."
"Hey, why are you yelling here all of a sudden?"
"Go back to the city quickly, the Rouran Army's next offensive is about to arrive!" Bai Feng said, and a sergeant walked out of the crowd holding a torch. He confirmed again and again before stepping forward to recognize Bai Feng.
"Mr. Bai?"
"Brother Tiger Eyes?"
Bai Feng continued: "What are you doing here? Even if you want to carry the corpses of your brothers back, you should wait until dawn before making any plans! It's foggy tonight. You are holding a torch here, the enemy is secretly hiding Chu can see through our army's formation at a glance."
"Mr. Bai, everyone understands such a simple truth, but..." Huyan choked suddenly, as if something big had happened: "General Zhen is dead. We were ordered to come out and retrieve his body to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Rouran Army. ...You also know that these barbarians will definitely desecrate the corpse. If the corpse gets into their hands, it will cause a major blow to the morale of our army!"
"Tiger Eyes, you can't tell what is light and what is serious. Does it matter if the dead can be alive?" Bai Feng immediately unsheathed his sword and shouted angrily: "Go back to the city quickly, don't stay here and do this. It’s useless!”
Huyan lowered his head and sighed, silently responding. The rest of the people ignored what Bai Feng said and continued to search for the corpse of the general.
However, after a while, the men and horses brought by Bai Feng arrived one after another. Suddenly, a soldier rushed towards Bai Feng and informed Bai Feng: "Mr. Bai, Madam and the others are entangled!"
After saying this, the sound of a messy fight began to come from a distance.
"What?" Bai Feng saw Xiang Huyan and the barbarian soldiers angrily, and then pointed his sword to the sky and ordered: "All Qingqi, follow me to rescue the siege! The rest of the infantry quickly retreated to the town for help. Anyone who disobeys the order , is to be my enemy."
These words made everyone marvel. How could such a bold declaration come from the mouth of a young man? But soon, those who came out to look for the body of the town general gradually came to their senses. Countless people dropped their torches and started running towards Yuyi Town, all trying to buy time for Bai Feng to help Murong Yan and others.
