After the news spread that Taichu and Dongxia were about to go to war, all the people in the border cities of the two dynasties fled. Only some old, weak, sick and disabled people were left in the several border cities of Dongxia. Lin Chuhe organized the army rigorously and captured The people behind the city did not embarrass the people in the city, but only investigated suspicious people.
Jinguan City in Eastern Xia.
In the meeting hall of the city lord's palace, two people stood in front of an old man sitting on a chair. One of them was Bai Lingshuang, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Xia Army who had just retreated to Jinguan City. The other one looked similar to Bai Lingshuang and looked even more... The rebellious one is none other than Bai Guhan, the second son of Dongxia.
With their identities, the two of them could only stand respectfully in front of the old man. The identity of the old man was soon revealed. King Bai Xuanhui of Eastern Xia actually came to Jinguan City in person!
Bai Xuanhui's ordinary gown could not hide his noble temperament. Although he was nearly sixty years old, he was still in good spirits.
At this time, a somewhat embarrassed Bai Lingshuang was narrating the battle to her father. Her expression was very solemn, and her words contained a lot of self-blame.
"Father, our Dongxia suffered heavy losses in this battle, and as the commander-in-chief, I cannot absolve myself of the blame." Bai Lingshuang said sadly.
Bai Guhan hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Father, Lin Chuhe is really old and tough. If anyone else does it, he may not be able to do better than Brother Wang. Please don't punish Brother Wang."
You must know that Dongxia is famous for its strict military laws. Even the prince will face unbearable punishment for such a failure. Bai Guhan's defense of Bai Lingshuang shows that the two princes of Dongxia have a very good relationship. It seems that Bai Guyan is not competing for the throne. thought.
Bai Xuanhui waved his hand and said with a flash of light in his eyes: "Shuang'er, you have done a good job. It's just a loss of some soldiers. It's not a bad thing."
Bai Lingshuang asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Father, now four of the five Eastern Xia Passes have been lost, and the situation is quite unfavorable to us. Do you have any backup plans?"
Bai Xuanhui showed an unpredictable expression and said: "My purpose in this battle is to give these cities to Lin Chuhe."
Bai Lingshuang and Bai Guhan were both shocked when they heard this, but did not interrupt, waiting for Bai Xuanhui's next words.
Bai Xuanhui continued: "If the Taichu Army gets these cities easily, and Dongxia has no losses, Lin Chuhe will definitely notice it, and it will be counterproductive. Only Dongxia's heavy losses after the war can dispel his doubts and let him Take over these cities with peace of mind.”
"However, this Lin Chuhe is indeed a military genius. The losses of our army were unexpected by me, but it doesn't matter. Let him be as proud as he is today. Soon, I will make him understand what it means to regret too late!" Bai Xuanhui's eyes flashed. With a hint of sternness, he sneered.
Bai Xuanhui closed his eyes, tapped his fingers leisurely on the wooden table and muttered to himself: "Taichu, Taichu, after surviving for so many years, it's time for this so-called dynasty to exit."
Although the two princes still didn't know Bai Xuanhui's plan, they were reassured when they saw their father's appearance.
Xinghe Sect Seven Killing Camp.
Gu Xifeng received the good news of the victory in Taichu's first battle, but did not receive the news of the death of his friends, and his tense heart relaxed a little.
Ever since Gu Xifeng declared war at the beginning of time, the Seven Kills Battalion had deployed a large number of spies on the border of Eastern Xia. The business of the camp was much more than before, and the busy Gu Xifeng was a little overwhelmed.
Now that the war has officially begun, Monkey is fully responsible for the affairs in Dongxia, and Gu Xifeng can finally take a breath.
Although there were fewer things, Gu Xifeng still felt very heavy. Friends such as Hou Hou, Jiang Huaishi, and Tang Jinge were all involved in the war. He was really worried. He wished he could go to the battlefield and fight alongside them.
But now that Huang Xin has handed over the affairs of the Seven Kills Camp into his hands, he cannot leave the sect for a long time.
While Gu Xifeng was sitting cross-legged and meditating, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
"Here we come." He shouted and went to open the door. Ever since he took over the affairs of the Seven Kills Camp, people had often knocked on the door, so Gu Xifeng was not surprised.
After Gu Xifeng opened the door and saw the person outside, he was stunned and stared stupidly at the pretty figure in front of him.
Outside the door was a young girl with long, silky hair, skin as fair as gelatin, eyebrows as thin as willows, a pair of big, lively eyes, a straight bridge of nose, and a small mouth and nose. Although she was not absolutely beautiful, she was still very pretty.
The girl blinked at Gu Xifeng with a smile on her face.
Gu Xifeng felt his heartbeat speeding up. He was completely at a loss when facing the girl in front of him, and stammered: "Tao...Taozi, you...you are back."
The girl in front of him was Tao Muyao, whom Gu Xifeng had not seen for more than five years. In five years, Taozi had grown from a little girl to a big girl.
Seeing Gu Xifeng's dumbfounded look, Taozi covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Idiot!"
Hearing this, Gu Xifeng scratched his head in embarrassment. His movements were exactly the same as when he was a child. He calmed down and asked, "Taozi, when did you come back? Where have you been in the past five years? Why is there no news about you at all? I I’ve looked for you many times but to no avail.”
Gu Xifeng seemed to have turned into a chatty person, asking questions that had been in his mind for many years.
Tao Zi smiled softly and said: "Actually, I didn't go anywhere. I just stayed in seclusion in a secret place in the sect. This retreat lasted five years."
Gu Xifeng's heart moved when he heard this. Although Taozi didn't say anything specifically, Gu Xifeng is now in charge of the Seven Kills Camp. With his knowledge and understanding of the sect, Taozi's so-called retreat must be an extremely important thing to the Galaxy Sect. Otherwise, it would be impossible to completely restrict Taozi's freedom.
Gu Xifeng frowned and said, "The Xinghe Sect has not made it difficult for you, right? If you tell me, I will go and get an explanation for you."
Taozi smiled and said: "How could it be? The sect treats me well, and the retreat was done with my consent."
Gu Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief, and then he said firmly: "That's good, Taozi, remember, you must tell me if you have been wronged!"
Taozi smiled and nodded and said, "I know, I came to see you as soon as I came out of seclusion. Isn't that interesting?"
Gu Xifeng blushed a little when he heard this and felt happy.
Taozi stretched out a finger and tapped Gu Xifeng's forehead and said, "Why are you so silly? Let's get down to business. I came to you because I want you to accompany me down the mountain."
Gu Xifeng came back to his senses and asked, "What's going on? Where are you going?"
Taozi suddenly looked a little lonely and said, "I haven't been home since I went up the mountain for ten years. I want to visit my parents and our small village."
Gu Xifeng suddenly realized that he had gone back many times because he was out on missions. Since Uncle Lu and Uncle Sun had already left, he only went to the village to find Er Zhuang and also visited Taozi's parents. However, Taozi basically disappeared after going up the mountain. How to get down the mountain, let alone go home.
When Taozi's mood fluctuated, she exuded an aura that was somewhat familiar to Gu Xifeng. Gu Xifeng was confused and looked at Taozi intently, trying to see what that aura was.
Taozi didn't wait for Gu Xifeng's answer, feeling a little confused. She found that Gu Xifeng's eyes were staring at a certain part of her body.
The direction that Gu Xifeng's eyes were looking at was Taozi's chest. Now Taozi had completed the transformation from a girl to a woman. Although her chest was not billowy, it was still very impressive.
Taozi suddenly crossed her arms in front of her chest and screamed in shock: "Gu Xifeng! What are you looking at?!"
Gu Xifeng was also interrupted by the sudden cry. He did not grasp the familiar feeling in his heart. He looked at Taozi who suddenly ran away with some doubts, and said blankly: "What are you looking at? I'm looking at you."
Taozi was even more shocked when she heard this, pointed at Gu Xifeng and said, "You stinking gangster!"
Gu Xifeng was even more confused, his eyebrows furrowed, and he couldn't understand Taozi's behavior at all.
Taozi pouted and sulked, while Gu Xifeng was at a loss. After talking for a long time, he didn't know where he was, and the two were in a stalemate for a long time.
Finally, Taozi seemed to have figured something out, her face softened a lot, but she still said angrily: "Master is indeed right, men in the world are all the same, Xiaofeng! Even if I forgive you this time, I won't do it next time! "
Although Gu Xifeng still didn't know what was going on, now that Taozi had relented, he immediately admitted his mistake and promised to be as cooperative as possible.
Taozi then said angrily: "I heard that you are now the deputy commander of the Seven Kills Battalion? How about it, Mr. Gu, do you have time to accompany the little girl?"
Gu Xifeng smiled awkwardly and said, "Taozi, I have already admitted my mistake. Just calm down. No matter how busy I am, nothing is as important as yours, Taozi. Shall we set off now?"
Tao Zi rolled her eyes at Gu Xifeng and said, "Your attitude is pretty good, let's leave now."
Gu Xifeng made an invitation gesture and said, "You go inside and rest for a while. I'll tell Xingxiu Wei and I'll take you to meet an old friend later."
Not long after, Gu Xifeng took Taozi to an open space outside. Taozi was a little confused about who this so-called old friend was. Although Taozi was in seclusion, the sect attached great importance to him. It was easy to know what was going on outside. She naturally knew Jiang Huaishi and others have already rushed to the border of Eastern Xia.
Gu Xifeng took out a short whistle, put it in his mouth and blew a strange rhythm. Soon after, a huge thing fell from the sky. Taozi looked at the giant eagle in front of him in shock.
The eagle's wings were shiny black and looked very smooth, and its huge body was covered with a layer of weird armor that looked very powerful.
After a brief absence of consciousness, a small and cute figure flashed in Taozi's mind, and she exclaimed: "Is this night?"
As if he understood her words, Ye lowered his huge eagle head and rubbed Taozi's arm, looking very friendly. Obviously, Ye had recognized Taozi, whose appearance had changed a lot, and Taozi reached out and touched Ye. Ye also let her play with the feathers on her neck.
Gu Xifeng smiled and said: "It seems that Ye has not forgotten you. I have never seen him be so close to anyone except me."
Taozi was not polite and jumped onto Ye's back. The strange and exquisite looking armor on Ye's body caught Taozi's attention.
Gu Xifeng saw that Taozi had all gone up, so he didn't have to wait any longer and came to Ye's back.
Taozi asked curiously: "Xiao Feng, where does this weird armor on Ye come from, and does it have any purpose?"
Gu Xifeng's face changed slightly unnoticeably, and he said in a slight panic: "You will know the function of this armor in a moment."
After saying that, Gu Xifeng stepped on the groove in front of Ye's back armor, and his feet were immediately wrapped. Then he said something to Ye, who let out a loud eagle roar, spread out his huge wings and flew into the sky.
Taozi frowned slightly and remained silent. Obviously, based on her understanding of Gu Xifeng, the slight changes in Gu Xifeng's expression and tone could not escape her eyes. She was a little dissatisfied with Gu Xifeng's deliberate ignoring of his questions.
Soon Taozi couldn't care less about her mood. After taking off, Ye's speed was very fast, still within the normal range. However, when Taozi noticed that Ye's armor had undergone subtle changes, Ye's flying speed suddenly increased, reaching an incredible speed. To the point where the journey that originally took half a day's flight was completed in an hour, communication was impossible because of the speed.
Ye Pingping landed outside a small mountain village, where Gu Xifeng and Taozi had lived since childhood. Taozi looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar sights in the small village, and Wuxia asked Gu Xifeng about Ye again.
Tears flashed in Taozi's eyes, she had been gone for too long.
After she was taken to the Xinghe Sect, the sect never let her go home because of her special status. She could only see this small mountain village in her dreams, but now it is right in front of her, and her parents are also there. here.
