Her feet were on the ground, and her body was like a cliff.
Cui Xiaoxin's heart kept sinking, passing through the clouds and the cold wind. Then her heart was wrapped in the clouds, the cold wind solidified, and her whole body became cold.
The sky above her head was gray, but there was no sign of snow yet. Perhaps the winter snow that year was too heavy and too fast, resulting in a snow disaster that was rarely seen in a hundred years, resulting in a sharp decrease in the amount of snow for several years in a row.
The older generation of people in Tiandu said that the snow that year was over and the blood had flowed dry. Until now, whenever it was rainy, Tiandu would be filled with ghostly wails and wolf howls, and many people said they could hear the roars of the wronged dead.
Of course, after the City Patrol Division captured a group of people and beheaded them again, such rumors had been suppressed.
Cui Xiaoxin looked up at Yan Xiangma, her pupils filled with the shock of hearing the news and the worry of the possible consequences:
"Li Muyang — — Didn't he go to Jiangnan? He said he wanted to live in seclusion and never interfere in the affairs of the world again. How could he meet you on the battlefield? Is cousin deliberately bluffing me? This kind of thing can't happen at all, can it? "
Seeing the anxious look on Cui Xiaoxin's face, Yan Xiangma began to regret telling her the truth.
It was rare for peace to return, why drag her into the torrent of the world again?
What could a girl without the strength to even truss a chicken do in this chaotic world?
Yan Xiangma squinted his eyes and laughed, like a little fox that had stolen a chicken. "Yes, Li Muyang lives in seclusion in Jiangnan — — How could he meet me on the battlefield? I just said it casually, I just want to know in your heart, which is more important, me as your brother or that Li Muyang who ran to Jiangnan alone to live in seclusion. "
Cui Xiaoxin held Yan Xiangma's palm. Because of cultivation, Yan Xiangma's palm was warm. It was also because of this heat that he could clearly feel the coolness of Cui Xiaoxin's palm.
"Both of you are very important. I don't want anything to happen to either of you … If, and I'm just saying if, if you really meet each other on the battlefield, no matter what, don't point your swords at each other … You are friends …"
"Friends!" Yan Xiangma's mouth was full of bitterness. On the battlefield, there were only camps. How could there be friends?
It was a battle of life and death. This was fate.
At this moment, Yan Xiangma especially hated that old fellow … If he hadn't interfered, if he hadn't forced his way in, why would he have to go this far with Li Muyang?
No matter if it was Xu Da, Li Zhong, or any other general, what did it have to do with him if they fought to the death on the battlefield?
He just couldn't understand why this old thing was so cruel to his grandson.
Yan Xiangma knew that Li Muyang would definitely appear.
Who is the one fighting the Nine Nations now? It's the Peacock Emperor Ying Boyan.
Who is Ying Boyan? It's Ying Qiandu's father.
Who is Ying Qiandu? Who gave the Thousand Spirit Jade Seal in Ying Boyan's hand?
Rather than saying that the Peacock Imperial Court was fighting for him, it was better to say that they were fighting for Li Muyang … At least, this was what Ying Qiandu, who had met once in the Kunlun Divine Palace, thought?
He could see the deep affection for Li Muyang in her eyes, and from her unyielding attitude in the face of danger, he could see that she and Li Muyang would never leave each other's side …
"But, what about cousin? What about Xiaoxin? "Yan Xiangma was really annoyed. What's so good about that Li Muyang? He's not as handsome as me, not as intelligent as me, not as talented as me, and he's also a dragon … Can't you like me?
He really wanted to share some of the troubles for his good brother Li Muyang.
"Of course." Yan Xiangma nodded with a smile. "I, Yan Xiangma, have seen countless people, I didn't expect the most reliable friend to be a dragon — — are you being ironic?"
"Cousin — —"
"Alright, alright. I'm not a dragon, not a dragon. I'm a little dragon man … I have a horn on my head and a tail on my back. No one knows how many secrets I have … I'm a little black dragon, little black dragon, little black dragon. I have many little secrets, little secrets, little secrets …"
"Cousin — —"
"This is a children's song of the Empire, didn't you hear it when you were a child?"
"— —"
"Okay. I'm not joking with you anymore. I came to say goodbye to you, and to see if there's anything you need my help with — — If there's anything you want to do, quickly say it. If there's anyone you want to beat up, quickly say it. If I leave, you won't be able to find such good free labour. "
"I have nothing for you to do, and no one for you to beat up — — I just hope you come back safely." Cui Xiaoxin grabbed Yan Xiangma's hand and did not let go. Because of excessive force, the veins on the back of her thin hand were exposed. "No matter what, cousin must take care of yourself."
"Don't worry. As long as I don't meet Li Muyang, it's not that easy for other people to kill me — — "
"Even if you meet Li Muyang, cousin must — —"
"Kill him and come back?"
"You have to come back together." Cui Xiaoxin said in a firm voice. "I will eat vegetarian and chant Buddhist scriptures for you every day."
"If Bodhisattva thinks you're too greedy, things won't be easy — —" Yan Xiangma said with a smile. "I've asked someone to buy some books for you, you can read them when you're bored. Don't worry about other things, and don't ask. Just read and write in this little garden, and quietly wait for spring and autumn. "
Yan Xiangma stood up, looked deeply at Cui Xiaoxin, and asked: "Do you and Shinian keep in touch by letter?"
"No." Cui Xiaoxin said, shaking her head.
"This girl is fair — — since she doesn't write, then she might as well not write. I like it. "Yan Xiangma laughed, turned and strode out of the small courtyard.
"Cousin — —" Cui Xiaoxin chased after him.
Yan Xiangma waved his hand without turning his head, and with a desolate feeling of the bleak wind and cold general who will never return, he said: "I won't see you off, don't see me off — —"
"Take care!" Cui Xiaoxin shouted.
Yan Xiangma just waved his hand, and did not look back.
Cui Xiaoxin leaned against the door, until Yan Xiangma had gone far away and his back could not be seen, she still did not come back to her senses.
"Miss …" The blind maidservant Taohong called out from the side.
Cui Xiaoxin returned to the table, picked up the book from the table again, but found that she could no longer see the words clearly.
Her mind was in a mess!

After waking up in the early morning and washing up, Li Mi, the maid who served Qiandu, brought the meal for Li Muyang to enjoy.
A bowl of porridge, only the rice soup, not the rice grains. A dish of side dishes, three to five shredded radish, one chopstick could not even pick up enough.
Although the conditions in the army were simple, but the life of the senior generals was still taken care of. At least there must be rice and meat for three meals a day, otherwise how could they fight?
This little food was worse than ordinary soldiers, let alone Li Muyang — — the legendary man of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Li Muyang looked at Li Mi, who lowered her head, not daring to make eye contact with Li Muyang.
Li Muyang smiled, "I know, it's not your fault, did they do it?"
"Gongzi Muyang, I dare not say — —"
"They think they can drive me away like this?" Li Muyang disdained this method, his voice sonorous: "For Her Highness, let alone food, even if I have to eat — — I am willing to stay. I must stay. "
"Gongzi Muyang has wronged me."
"Not at all." Li Muyang waved his hand. "Remember to tell Her Highness what I just said — — not now, wait until she's conscious."
"— — Yes, Gongzi."
Li Muyang poured the side dishes into the rice soup, gulped it down, chewed a few mouthfuls, and asked, "Where is Her Highness?"
"Her Highness is at the camp, preparing to send troops to the Mirror Sea today."
"Send troops today?" Li Muyang pushed back the chair and rose to his feet. "Why didn't this woman say hello to me."
Remembering that there was a demon in the woman's body, he forgave her rude behaviour. "I'll go see."
"Gongzi Muyang — —"
"Don't stop me — — you know you can't stop me — —"
"The camp is in the east."
"— —"
When Li Muyang arrived at the camp, Qiandu was riding on the peacock, and beside her were the three thousand Peacock army that made all countries tremble in fear.
The Peacock cavalry passed through the camp gate like carps crossing the river, closely followed by the well-equipped infantry battalion armed with long spears. As each of them marched forward, they would look up at the Peacock Princess Ying Qiandu high up in the sky.
That was their pride, that was their belief.
They were willing to fight for her!
When all the troops had set off and the camp was empty, Li Muyang leapt to Qiandu's side, asking aloud: "Why didn't you say hello before you set off today? Have you forgotten the agreement between us? "
Qiandu was very displeased with Li Muyang's behaviour, did not want to keep such a close distance with him in front of others, and even more did not want people to see his existence.
However, since he had stayed behind, there was no need to leave.
"Aren't you here already?"
"Haha — —" Li Muyang could not really hold her responsible. After all, the current Qiandu was not the real Qiandu, if he angered the demon in her body, the one to suffer in the end would most likely be Qiandu, and he would also be expelled by her. "What can I do to attack the Mirror Sea today?"
Qiandu looked straight ahead, speaking in a hoarse and bloody voice that did not belong to her. "Since you don't want to tarnish my reputation, then help me break into the city — — anyway, the reputation of your Dragon clan has always been bad."
Li Muyang smiled and nodded. "I will do my best."
Qiandu patted the peacock's neck, and the peacock, as though responding, let out a long roar, flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
The three thousand coloured sparrows let out a long cry at the same time, flapping their huge wings and following closely behind.
Looking down at the ground from above, one could only see the cold armours and the banners covering the sky.
As Li Muyang watched the Peacock army leave, the smile on his face gradually faded, and his eyes were as cold as a knife.
"Are we really going to help him attack cities and take all the way to Chang 'an, the capital of the Zhou Kingdom?" Li Muyang thought to himself. "If so, I'm afraid he really will take over the world — — I hope it's not too late."
Li Muyang sighed softly. With a flick of his long sleeve, he sped off in the direction of the Peacock army.
