"So, you were also abandoned by that traitor? Hahahaha." Duan Tong seemed to have heard the funniest thing, laughing so hard on the horse.
Xu Mo glanced at him sideways: "I'm afraid Taishi Li doesn't even have a small person like me in his eyes. I just wanted to protect myself and exposed everything Kong Bao did. How can I talk about abandoning him?"
"You're still speaking for him so loyally even though he's dead. That thief didn't reuse you, but he was negligent." Duan Tong glanced at Xu Mogao.
Xu Mo sighed: "I was also involved in the robbery of your Duan family. I saved your life today, which can be regarded as repayment..."
Duan Tong narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Mo: "I said, are you still going to work for that dog emperor?"
Xu Mo looked at him without changing his expression and asked, "What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean. You were just following orders, and there was nothing wrong with you. The Dog Emperor doesn't distinguish between black and white, and has no idea of loyalty or traitor. He sent you to a place where birds can't poop. How can you tolerate this? "
"My father couldn't fight against that Li Changwen and his house was ransacked. You participated but you followed orders. We know right from wrong. I don't blame you. But think about it, does that dog emperor know right from wrong? My father is loyal to the country. But you ended up being executed. You were also sent to the frontier fortress after being ordered to do so..." Duan Tong stopped in time and stared at Xu Mo's reaction.
Xu Mo looked at Duan Tong seriously and said, "You...do you know what you are doing?"
"I won't hide it from you. I am now one of the four mastiffs in Beiyi. It is not an exaggeration to say that one person is inferior to ten thousand people. It's just that I have no intention of showing off to Beiyi. What I want is to kill Go back to the Central Plains, step into the capital, tear the dog emperor off the dragon throne, step on it under your feet, and ask my father and Li Changwen who is loyal and who is traitor!" Duan Tong's eyes showed a fierce light.
"Since you were once under Li Changwen's sect, you have had enough of Kong Bao's anger, and now you are sent here. Is that Daqi... fair to you?" Duan Tongxun said kindly: "Think about Kong Bao's daily life. That arrogant look...Brother, don't say I didn't remind you..."
Xu Mo didn't answer in silence.
"You are also an ambitious person. You won't be willing to be a veteran stationed at the border all your life, right? Think about it for yourself. Okay. Anyway, thank you for saving my life today. Let's go." Duan Tong stopped. If you say too much, you will turn your horse and head north.
Xu Mo, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed his reins. Duan Tong turned to look at Xu Mo: "You want me to take the merit?"
"Do you have any idea? A way for me to be better than ten thousand people..." Xu Mo's eyes shot out with a burning light...
…
On the northern wall of An City, there was a section without a single guard, only two people standing leaning against each other.
"Xiao Dao, it's getting late..." He Yue'er nestled in Yi Xiao Dao's arms, looked at the sky, and reminded him.
Under the rays of the setting sun, looking towards the north, his face looked much colder than usual: "Yes, I know."
"Do you want to go?" He Yue'er understood Yi Xiaodao's thoughts.
Yi Xiaodao hugged He Yue'er tighter in his arms: "I want to..."
"Go if you want! If you don't think about eating and drinking here every day, I wonder if you had a sweetheart before you came to this north!" He Yue'er broke away from Yi Xiaodao's arms and stared at him.
Yi Xiaodao looked at her in shock: "You..."
"What am I? Don't you like me like this?" He Yue'er knew what Yi Xiaodao was thinking. She usually looked calm, but when had she ever spoken in such a tone as today?
Yi Xiaodao smiled: "I like you no matter what you look like. I just..."
"Can't let me go?" He Yue'er said bluntly.
Yi Xiaodao said nothing and nodded gently.
He Yue'er reached out and hugged Yi Xiaodao: "I know you are good to me. I knew it from the first time I saw you, with that silly look on your face. Since I have decided to follow you, I should live together through thick and thin, right? ?Rather than being a canary in a cage, it’s good that you always worry about me, but I still hope you can do what you want to do.”
"But, I have lost you several times..." Yi Xiaodao lowered his eyes and looked at He Yue'er's beautiful face.
"But I'm not like this now? What's more, there are Xiang Lian'er, Li Dingxing, and so many people with strong martial arts over there. Are you afraid that they can't protect me? Besides, I won't always be a burden. I will definitely It can come in handy!" He Yue'er puffed up her mouth and said.
Yi Xiaodao grinned: "Yes, it can definitely be done!"
"Then have you decided?" He Yuer asked.
"Well, it's decided! Let's go tomorrow!" Yi Xiaodao nodded heavily.
He Yue'er laughed happily: "Okay, then I'll go get ready now." After saying that, she ran to the bottom of the city wall happily.
As soon as He Yue'er left, a figure walked towards Yi Xiaodao and stood still behind him.
Yi Xiaodao didn't look back and knew who was coming: "Why did I have to let you stay in the first place? Do you understand now?"
"Ahem... Mr. Yi, Madam will be unhappy... Ahem..." Chen Guang's voice indicated that the injury he had suffered in Sichuan and Shu had not fully healed yet.
"Oh, I just can't let go of her in my heart. Just lead these 30,000 soldiers and horses to guard Ancheng. If we can't stop us at the front, you can quickly take her back to the capital. What happens after that... I'll leave it to fate..." Yi Xiaodao sighed. said.
"It's good to just leave it to fate." He Yue'er's voice sounded from behind Yi Xiaodao.
Yi Xiaodao was startled and quickly looked back. Chen Guang was nowhere to be found. He Yue'er was the only one standing behind him. He just left and came back.
Yi Xiaodao panicked: "How did you..."
"How could it be me, right? You didn't take what I told you just now into your heart at all, right?" There was a little tear in the corner of He Yue'er's eyes: "If Chen Guang hadn't told me, I would have left me I don’t even know! What did you tell me in the capital!”
Yi Xiaodao lowered his head and said nothing.
He Yue'er stepped forward and grabbed Yi Xiaodao's hand, and said with tears in her eyes: "Xiaodao, please don't leave me again, okay? I'm so scared..."
Yi Xiaodao suddenly shouted: "Chen Guang!"
"Cough...cough...the end is here." Chen Guang emerged from nowhere. When he saw the scene between the two of them, he didn't even look at it or avoid it.
"I'll give you 30,000 soldiers and horses. You can defend Ancheng. If we are defeated, you can immediately send people back to the court to ask for reinforcements!" Yi Xiaodao ordered.
Chen Guang responded quickly: "Ahem...I will obey your order! That lady..."
"Come with me."
The breeze blew gently across the city, He Yue'er was crying and laughing, so unhappy...
…
Return to the city.
The King of the North sat in the main hall of the palace, rubbing his chin: "This Beiyi has already suffered a defeat in Anxi, why are they still fighting against Anxi?"
"Your Majesty, this is intentional no matter how you look at it." Wang Xianben, the former coach of Juyi City, said quietly from the side: "I know that Anxi is the hardest to beat, but I still go to beat Anxi..."
The King of the North frowned: "I know it was intentional, but why are they still trying to fight against Anxi? Is it possible..."
Wang Xianben said from the side: "My lord, is it possible that they haven't received the news that Xigui has been pacified by the court, and they still want to get through Anxi and join forces with Xigui?"
King Xigui sent troops to attack Sichuan and Shu without any reason, and his intentions were already obvious.
"Yeah! It's very possible!" The King of Northland looked at him and nodded repeatedly.
Wang Xianben also said happily: "Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity!"
The North King was a little confused: "What good opportunity?"
Wang Xianben said: "Your Majesty, the city of Anxi is tall and strong. Moreover, both Wu Dinggong and Zhongyi Gong are in Anxi, and they have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. If there is really something wrong in Anxi, they will never sit idly by and watch!"
"What do you mean..." The North King vaguely guessed.
Wang Xianben then said: "Why don't we take this opportunity to join forces with King Ding of Liao to send troops to the north and recover all the sand cities outside the border! Then we will join forces from the two places and form an encirclement against the Northern Yi from east to west. , when the Northern Yi retreats, Shacheng will be in our hands again!"
The King of the North's eyes flickered, and it was obvious that he was moved by this idea.
After thinking for a while, the King of the North Land immediately made a decision: "Send people to Ding Liao quickly and agree with the King of Liao to raise troops together to recover the sand city outside the country!"
Wang Xianben said quickly: "Wait a minute, my lord, we have to send some troops over to Anxi, and we have to show it to Bei Yi at least, otherwise, Bei Yi will notice it! The last general is willing to lead 10,000 elite soldiers. , rush to Anxi’s aid!”
"It makes sense! It makes sense!" The King of the North Land stood up and couldn't help being happy: "Thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of this! I have 20,000 elite troops with you, and you go to Fengcheng to help us in this battle! From now on, regardless of victory or defeat, it will be considered a great achievement of yours!”
Wang Xianben suppressed the joy in his heart: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty!"
"Oh, don't be the last to be the last. There are no outsiders in your own family!" The King of Beidi patted Wang Xianben on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Go and win more glory for your aunt!"
The King of the North was very fond of nepotism, and both the civil servants and the military officials were close relatives of his own. Originally there were so many relatives, there was a risk of being left out. But thanks to the large number of relatives who check and balance each other, no one dares to covet the royal power of the King of the North. Even those who serve as officials or generals are afraid of losing face in front of their relatives, and those who are upright, loyal and brave often compare themselves to each other.
Not long after, a scout team of several people left the palace and headed east. In the west of the city, an army of ten thousand people marched out of Guicheng and headed towards Fengcheng.
In the team, Xu Mo was riding a black horse in the middle of the team, looking around intentionally or unintentionally.
Among the infantry, there was a thin man wearing a large armor, looking a bit nondescript. The huge helmet was placed on his head, covering much of his face, making it difficult for people to see clearly.
Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Xu Mo. The two looked at each other and smiled.
