Jun Jiuling - Chapter 798

[Chapter 80 Afterwards]

In winter night, the whole earth is covered with a layer of white light.

It was snowing a few days ago.

Against the backdrop of the vast white earth, the stars in the night sky are brighter and clearer.

Seems like you can pick one off with a hand.

One hand was raised high, a void grip.

He retracted his hand and put it in front of him, released it, and there were no bright stars, only a cloud of white air floating around.

This is the hot air exhaled between the nose and mouth. When it is cold, it turns into a white mist. The white mist rises and condenses on the eyebrows and beards for a moment, and the starlight mountain is broken and bright.

“This starry sky is so beautiful.”

Said in a hoarse voice, the outstretched hand resting on the back of his head, and the snow creaked under him.

Under the starlight, this person was wearing a white jacket, lying in the snow and blending with the earth. If it weren’t for those bright eyes like stars, he would not have noticed it for a while.

“yes.”

There were voices beside him, and the snow rolled up and down, showing a figure of sevens and eights.

“It’s rare to see such a starry sky.”

“It turns out that the stars are so beautiful.”

“It’s time to recite a poem.”

“You are naughty.”

“If only there was wine.”

“One more barbecue.”

The chatter and laughter sounded chaotically, making this freezing cold night a bit more vivid, just like watching the snow in the spring, taking advantage of the winter night to appreciate the starry sky is also an elegant thing.

Suddenly Shicai’s hand was raised again, and with this movement, the voice came suddenly, and the world fell into a dead silence in an instant.

There was a loud sound in this dead silence, as if it appeared out of thin air and approached in an instant.

The horse’s hooves lifted the snow, revealing the hide wrapped around it.

It was this hide that eliminated the sound of the horse’s hooves, which could not be detected until closer.

This is a group of more than a dozen soldiers and horses, armored and helmets under the starlight, swords, spears, swords, halberds, bows and crossbows flashing cold light on the back. Even in the snowy night, the speed of the horses did not weaken at all. A straight long knife cut off the horse’s front hoof.

The horse neighed and fell, and the man on it rolled down. Before the man could get up, a long knife had already cut off his head in two places.

Blood spurted out, instantly dyeing the snow red.

The whole procession became chaotic, as people jumped up one after another on the snow, slashing at the cavalry with swords and axes.

The nonsense shouts, the painful roars, the neighing of the horses, the originally cold land became noisy, but the noise was flying with flesh and blood.

A long spear pierced a cavalryman and pulled him off the horse. The spear was thrown away with the cavalry. The attacking man had instantly picked up a broad sword that had fallen from the side, and with a clanging sound, he swung the attacking man behind him. The scythe knocked away.

But in the end, because his foot slipped slightly, he was hit in the neck by a flying axe thrown by a cavalryman on the other side. integrated.

The battle was brutal and short. Everything seemed to happen in an instant, and then ended in a tragic instant. The horses were either killed or fled. As a long knife pierced the wounded’s chest without hesitation, the mourning disappeared instantly. The world was quiet again.

The starlight remained the same, but the ground was no longer as white as before, but bloody corpses were everywhere.

There are golden soldiers and men in white robes.

The bearded man squatted in front of a man in a white robe and reached out to caress his open eyes.

“Boss.”

A reminder sounded from behind.

The bearded man turned his head.

“Am I getting more sentimental now?” he asked.

The men behind him ignored him, or ripped off the weapons, robes and boots from the corpse of the golden soldiers, or lay down on the dead horses and gulps blood.

“Boss, hurry up, take a few sips and go.” Someone said vaguely.

The bearded man shook his head.

“The meaning of life is not just about eating and drinking.” He said, with a wave of the knife in his hand, he cut off a piece of horse meat, and stuffed it into his robe with blood. “There is also poetry and distance.

”

When he said this, he tilted his head and thought for a while.

“She should have said this, it’s been too long, I’ll forget it.”

The other men had already stood up and casually wiped the blood from the corners of their mouths.

“Boss, are you sentimental and don’t say anything, you talk more than before,” a man said.

“Are you saying that I’m a talker?” the bearded man said displeasedly, “How can I be a talker? We are getting farther and farther north, and we can’t even see a person’s hair. Hu Yu, I’m afraid I won’t be able to speak our words after a long time.”

The men all laughed.

“You’re very foresight, boss,” they said.

The bearded man’s eyes overflowed with a smile, with a smug look on his face.

“That’s it,” he said, and then waved his hand, “I saw a handful of good firewood and had a full meal tonight, let’s go.”

The group of people did not stop, rushing northward in the snow under the starlight, and slowly their figures merged with the earth and disappeared.

When the sun lit up the earth, it became noisy again as more troops and horses came.

Their dark hats and helmets, bright red broken tassels, and mercury armor similar to snow, all of them were full of arrogance and arrogance, and they were the most elite cavalry in the imperial city.

They roared in anger when they saw the corpses scattered with the snow.

“It’s these woodcutters again.”

“Why let them succeed again!”

“Are our warriors so useless?”

“My lord, they don’t have many people anymore. The mountains are covered by heavy snow, and they don’t even have any fire pits. They will die without a doubt.”

“It’s too cheap for them to die like that. They must die at our hands, skin and bones, and avenge the emperor.”

“Warriors, kill a woodcutter and make an official and a noble.”

Accompanied by this shout, the golden soldiers roared forward, and the ground was covered with snow.

……..

………

It seems that everything between heaven and earth is covered with snow, even the rocks and trees are no exception, the whole world is frozen.

But in this frozen place, a snow-white lotus flower bloomed, as if it was a lake.

But in fact, it’s a steep cliff.

A hand reached out and plucked the snow lotus.

Against the background of snow lotus, this hand became more and more red and swollen, and frostbite all over it, which was unbearable to see.

The act of picking snow lotuses is tough for such frostbitten hands, let alone clawing at snow-covered stones.

The man was leaning against the smooth cliff, with a taut body and a relaxed expression. He slowly put the snow lotus under his nose and mouth and sniffed, and his increasingly haggard expression appeared somewhat comfortable.

“It’s delicious,” he said.

After saying this, the whole person slammed down, as if he could no longer support the fall, but in fact he dexterously clambered on the cliff and finally slipped safely to the bottom of the cliff.

“Look.” He held up the snow lotus and shouted to the five men who were sitting around, “It’s beautiful.”

The five men looked over, and although they all looked haggard and had chapped lips, they all smiled.

“Boss, why are you interested in flowers and plants again? Are you really going to become a little girl?” They laughed.

“What do you know, this is a medicinal herb.” The bearded man said, carefully putting the snow lotus in his belt, “There is a guy who needs this, and when I go back and give it to her, the debt I owe can be paid for. It’s paid off.”

He murmured about debts or something, others didn’t care, just heard the word “go back”, and there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Also, can you go back?

Although they all came here with a mortal heart, they still want to go back.

The eyes of several people looked at the bearded man, watching him carefully and joyfully examining the leather pocket with the snow lotus in it. In fact, there was no need to pick the flowers on the cliff. It wasted a lot of physical strength, but because of the snow lotus. Remembering the missing person can bring comfort to the soul.

I think about it all the time, as if this person is by my side.

Their smiles became a little sour, but the next moment their expressions became solemn.

“The golden thief is chasing,” they said, and people jumped up from the ground.

There was no knife or axe in his hand, only sticks made of broken branches.

But there was no fear in their expressions, as if they were holding sophisticated weapons.

“Then pull up a few more back pads.” The bearded man said with a bit of idleness, moved his hands and feet, and made a creaking sound, “Let’s work.”

Following his words, the five of them hid behind the rocks.

The bearded man stood alone, his expression flashed with a hint of disappointment, and he looked down at the leather pocket at his waist.

“It’s a pity, you unlucky woman, you can’t get such a good thing.” He whispered, and the next moment he raised his head and his expression returned to his unruly. He threw the long stick in his hand and waited for the Yamaguchi cavalry to charge. .

The noise from the outside was getting louder and louder, but there were no soldiers and horses rushing in for a long time, which made the expressions of the people who were waiting for the ambush a little puzzled.

“Could it be that you don’t plan to fight again, just waiting to trap us?” a man said.

“These grandchildren are so timid?” another frowned.

The bearded man listened, his expression suddenly changed.

“No, it seems that there is Zhou Yu.” He said.

However, it is not surprising that there is Zhou Yu, these golden soldiers have also used Zhou Yu to tempt them.

“No, this time, it’s true, and there are many people.” The bearded man said, his voice trembling slightly.

The trembling was not from fear, but from some guesswork.

Some impossible guesses.

Others’ expressions also became complicated, and they seemed to want to be excited but were afraid that their minds would be ruined because of this excitement.

They never give themselves hope, because once there is hope, when the hope is dashed, they completely lose their will and are hopeless.

They kept their guard and hid behind the stone until there was a sudden bang in their ears, and then the ground shook.

“My day, this is not from the Qingshan Army…” the bearded man shouted.

But just as he was about to jump up, he heard a rattling sound above his head, followed by heavy snow and rocks rolling down.

The other people hiding behind the rocks didn’t even have time to move, and the falling snow instantly buried them.

The valley fell silent.

Outside the valley, the clamor and slaughter were louder. I don’t know how long it took, and everything was calm. Then the sound of horses’ hooves from far to near filled the entire valley little by little.

“No one.” A male voice said, with a bit of surprise, “Is it impossible to hold back?”

But the next moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from under the snow, and then a head slammed out of the snow.

“I go!”

The hoarse and angry voice drowned out the hoofs and resounded through the valley.

“We didn’t die in the hands of the golden man, but we were crushed to death by the heavy snow. This really became a big joke!”

And along with his movements, people from other places broke out, pooh pooh spit snow and shook their heads, but their expressions were full of unbelievable ecstasy.

However, the previous bearded man still looked angrily at the surrounding people.

“Who did I say to you? Why are you so stupid?”

He raised his head, shook off the snow on his face, and saw the people in front of him, and then his voice stopped abruptly.

The people in front of him dispersed, and a woman appeared in sight.

She was not wearing armor, but was wrapped in a thick red cloak, and the white fluffy hat almost covered her small face.

She was also looking at the bearded man who was still half buried in the snow. She looked at it very seriously, swiping his head and face bit by bit, and then frowned slightly.

“Zhu Zan,” she said, “how did you become so ugly?”

Zhu Zan was furious and jumped out of the snow.

“You have something wrong with your woman’s eyes,” he shouted. “There is no one more beautiful than me in this world.”

He jumped out, reached out and slapped the snow on his body, and wiped his face indiscriminately.

“Come on, take a good look, I am like a jade tree facing the wind…”

Before he could finish his words, Miss Jun had already jumped off the horse and rushed over, and hugged his neck with open arms.

Her movements were so sudden that Zhu Zan was staggered and almost fell.

“Hey, don’t think you’re like this, forget what you just said.” He shouted, “Get up and take a good look, where am I ugly?”

Although he said this, he didn’t push the person in front of him away at all, but reached out and hugged him.

“Take a good look,” he said again.

Miss Jun hugged his neck tightly and nodded heavily on his shoulder.

“I’ll take a good look at it,” she said.

Zhu Zan didn’t speak any more, just hugged her tightly, not knowing whether it was because his body was frozen stiff or he was unskilled, and his movements were still a little stiff.

He should have practiced a few more hugs, he thought to himself.

…………

…………

When the spring flowers bloom, the valley becomes more beautiful, but the atmosphere is a little tense at this time.

A group of men looked at the girl in front of them with sad and worried expressions.

The girl was being led by a woman to a tomb.

The girl seemed startled and stood motionless.

“History.” Aunt Xiao stroked her shoulder and softened her voice, “I told Jiuling to hide from you about your father, you…”

Zhao Hanqing raised his hand to hold Aunt Xiao’s hand.

“Mother, I want to be here alone for a while.”

Aunt Xiao hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement.

She turned around and waved for everyone to leave.

“Sister-in-law, is this all right?” Xia Yong whispered worriedly, “Niuniu waited to see Big Brother happily all the way, but…”

Aunt Xiao sighed lightly.

“I’m sure she understands,” she said.

Suddenly, Sister Xia let out a low cry.

“Oh, Niuniu picked up the knife,” she said.

These words startled everyone, everyone stopped to look over, and sure enough, Zhao Hanqing raised a long knife in front of the tomb.

Before everyone could react, they saw her wielding a long knife and dancing a blade of light.

Everyone was stunned for a while, this… It doesn’t seem to be self-inflicted, but…

Zhao Hanqing quickly put away the long knife, picked up the crossbow from the side, and fired ten arrows without a word on the big tree trunk not far away.

This is not over yet, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com Under the stares of everyone, she took turns showing the spear and sickle.

“It turned out that she wanted to show her father how powerful she was.” Aunt Xiao had tears in her eyes.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhao Hanqing in front of the tomb also sighed, throwing his shield and spear aside, half-squatting in front of the tomb, looking at the three words Zhao Zhiyi on the tombstone.

“Hey, Dad, did you see that I didn’t lose your face?” she said, raising her eyebrows with a bit of interest, where there was no trace of sadness, “Am I good enough? Is it better than blue? ?”

The words on the tombstone could not answer her, she watched it quietly for a moment, and then took out three incense-like things wrapped in paper from her arms.

“This is what Sister Jiuling asked me to bring to you.” She looked at the thing in her hand and lit it with a fire.

A puff of smoke came out, and the fragrance dissipated.

Zhao Hanqing looked at the three short incense sticks in his hand with a strange look, and she was obviously curious too.

“Sister Jiuling said, this is what kind of cigarette you mentioned in your handbook.” She said, “She said you didn’t write too much detail, she tried it, I don’t know if it’s right.”

The more she smelled it, the more curious she became, so she put it to her mouth tentatively, sucked it hard, and suddenly coughed repeatedly, squatted on the ground, sticking out her tongue and tears came out.

“It’s terrifying,” she said. “No wonder you said you could take another puff and you’d die.”

She said that she placed the three short incense sticks in front of the tomb and watched it quietly for a moment.

“Father, you are very powerful, but Sister Jiuling is more powerful than you.” She said suddenly.

When he said this, he jumped up and stepped back as if he was afraid of being hit by the person in front of him.

With a little pride in her eyes, she slowly retreated step by step, and finally turned around and ran towards Aunt Xiao with a smile on her face.

Behind her, the three short incense sticks in front of the tombstone were billowing smoke and dancing in the wind.
