The enemy's array is spread across the northern wilderness, and the stars of the Hu people shine brightly. The feather book is fast and the lightning is fast. The beacon fire shines brightly during the day. Tiger bamboo rescue border emergency, Rong car forest has set out. A wise ruler is uneasy at his seat, and his sword heart is flying. He pushed the wheel to send out the fierce general, even the flag boarded the battlefield. The might of the army rushed to the desert, and the killing intent soared to the sky. At the foot of the Red Mountain, the soldiers set up camp beside the Purple Fortress. On the way, the wind was strong, and the flags rustled and withered. Painted horn sad sea moon, levy clothes roll day frost. Loulan Slash swung his sword and shot at the Virtuous King. As soon as Chanyu was pacified, the tribes fled. He collected his achievements and reported them to the emperor, singing and returning to Xianyang.
On the vast ancient road, as far as the eye could see, thick smoke rose everywhere. Most of the houses had collapsed and were in ruins. From time to time, he could see some tired commoners carrying their bags, dragging their children with them as they moved their families north. Not far away, an army was slowly approaching. It seemed to be endless for several miles, and there were actually tens of thousands of them. Their momentum was shocking.
After about two hours, the army slowly passed by. A wrinkled old man who had obviously experienced many vicissitudes of life leaned on a walking stick and hunched over. He hugged his only family member, and a childish girl spat at the back of the army with hatred on her face.
A gust of wind blew, and a person suddenly appeared in front of the old man. The old man was shocked and looked at the person who had appeared out of nowhere. The person was tall and dressed strangely. She had long black hair and seemed to be a woman, but he couldn't be sure because she was wearing a silver-white mask. The silver mask and the silver armor on her body reflected each other and emitted a scorching white light under the sun.
The mask was also very strange. It looked like it was made in a very strange way. It just happened to surround the person's face, revealing only two eyes and a tall nose. What was even stranger was that the entire right side of the mask was carved with a blue phoenix. The phoenix was surrounded by ice, but its body was stretched out as if it was alive.
The old man looked over and was speechless. However, the little girl in his arms kept staring at the man. The man looked at the two people in front of him and slowly said,"Old man, where are you going?”
When the old man heard this cold voice, his heart trembled again. However, when the old man saw that the person who had come did not seem to have any ill intentions and that the voice was indeed a woman, he immediately mustered his courage and asked,
"Miss, you, who are you?”
The woman shook her head and did not speak. The old man looked at her and then at his granddaughter in his arms. He could not help but complain,"Young Lady, you might not know this, but we and those people in front of us are going to find a safer place to escape! The war between North Far Nation and East Mo Nation has caused us commoners to suffer. Sigh, who knows how many families have been destroyed by them!”
As he spoke, a line of thunder flowed down his eyes. He pointed at the girl in his arms and continued in a trembling voice,"Her father was killed on the battlefield. Her mother was so sad that she hanged herself.”As she spoke, she couldn't help but shake her head. The woman looked at the little girl who had been looking at her with a hint of sympathy in her eyes.
She glanced at the army in the distance and turned around, wanting to leave. Suddenly, with a few whooshing sounds, a few arrows flew towards her with white light. The woman was shocked. The person who had ambushed her was clearly prepared. He had targeted the moment she stood up and attacked her. The woman smiled coldly and activated her internal energy. Her body suddenly rose in the air and dodged a few arrows flying towards her. At the same time, she unsheathed the sword on her back. Suddenly, a chill surged. An ice arrow-shaped object flew towards the attacker. The ice arrow in the air changed again. With a few cracking sounds, it split into a few smaller ice arrows and flew towards the grass. Immediately, a few miserable cries could be heard.
The woman couldn't be bothered to check if the enemy was dead or alive. She twisted her body and landed beside the old man and the little girl. As expected, she did not mishear that the scream came from the old man in front of her. She was in the air just now, but it was too late to save the old man. There was a long arrow stuck in the old man's chest, and it looked like he was going to die. At this moment, she stood between the dying old man and the little girl who was crying like a baby. She didn't know what to say.
As the old man was in pain, he suddenly thought of something. He forced his eyes open and said to the woman,"Miss, I can't take it anymore. Can you help me take care of my granddaughter?”
As she spoke, she coughed violently again. The woman silently looked at the little girl who was crying miserably and nodded."Don't worry, I'll take good care of this child.”
The old man received the woman's promise and his eyes lit up with relief. He wanted to say something more, but after struggling for a while, he couldn't move anymore. He was dead.
The woman waited for the little girl to cry for a while before sighing,"Alright, don't be sad anymore. Let's go!”
The little girl was about eleven or twelve years old and looked very obedient. Although she was sad at this moment, she understood her situation. She immediately nodded with tears in her eyes and looked at her grandfather again. She followed the woman and disappeared in a short while.
Never in her wildest dreams would the woman have thought that the old man who was already dead would actually stand up from the ground at this moment. Looking at the arrow stabbed into her body, she could not help but laugh out loud. Looking again, this old man's eyes were sparkling, but did he look like the old man who was about to die?!!!
