Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight

Liangzhou.

A majestic pass dominates on the east side of the big river leading to the main city. The city wall stretches for nearly two miles and is several meters high, guarding the main road to the Central Plains.

It was twilight when the city was full of smoke, and the guards on the tower yawned and took turns shifting their shifts. Suddenly they caught a glimpse of the dust on the western plains. A dozen horses galloped in the melting twilight, and immediately rushed to the observation deck. , Blow the horn.

In the sound of the horn, the gate of the outer city opened, and Du Wei Qin Fei, who had arrived in Liangzhou not long ago, greeted him and saw Li Xuanzhen dying on horseback, shouting, "What's the matter?"

The prince's soldier rolled off his horse: "We encountered an ambush on the way back to the city!"

Qin Fei was anxious, carrying the pale Li Xuanzhen on his back, and strode into the hall: "Who is the one who ambushed you?"

The soldier shook his head: "I don't see how they are, it may be the remnant of the He family."

The remaining forces in Liangzhou have not yet been wiped out. Although Yelu Khan killed the leader of the He clan, the He clan still lurked in secret, waiting for the opportunity.

The military doctor arrived quickly. Li Xuanzhen hit a few arrows in the back and galloped overnight. The wounds were terrible, but fortunately, the weather was cold and there was no ulceration, and the venom on the arrows was a very common poison, so it was not difficult to treat.

Qin Fei paused and said, "That's good, what is your Highness Ye Lu doing?"

The prince is usually strict, but he doesn't care when he is crazy. For example, he only brought a few soldiers to Yelu's department with Yelu Khan.

The soldier wiped his sweat and replied: "Ye Lu Khan’s son, Bie Mu Tie, kindly invited him to go to Ye Lu's tribe to observe the ceremony. He also said that he would be drunk with his Highness Fang Xiu, but his Highness pushed him to go. ."

Li Xuanzhen and Yelu Khan fought together. During the period, Bie Mutie mentioned several times that Khan was about to marry Princess Wen Zhao. At first Li Xuanzhen ignored it, but when Yelu Khan left for the tribe, he suddenly changed his mind, agreed to Bie Mu Tie's invitation, and followed.

Qin Fei frowned: Did the prince miss the marriage of Princess Wen Zhao, so he rushed to the ceremony?

Didn’t the prince always hate Princess Wen Zhao...

The military doctor put medicine on Li Xuanzhen. Qin Fei stayed beside Li Xuanzhen's bed for fear of accidents at night, and did not dare to close his eyes.

In the middle of the night, Li Xuanzhen had a fever and was full of nonsense.

Qin Fei twisted the veil and wiped Li Xuanzhen's face. Hearing the yelling in his mouth over and over again, he was dumbfounded, his face was full of horror, and the veil in his hand fell into the copper basin and splashed with water.

Li Xuanzhen on the bed suddenly straightened up and sat up, with disheveled heads, red eyes, and scars on the exposed back muscles, like a ghost.

Qin Fei was taken aback.

Li Xuanzhen turned over barefoot and stumbled out of the house.

"I don't regret it!" In the quiet night, his voice sounded like a desperate roar, "I don't regret it!"

Qin Fei returned to his senses, took up the clothes on the screen frame, and slammed down the stairs: "Your Highness!"

Li Xuanzhen was naked, with her long hair loose, wearing only a thin gauze trousers all over her body, stepped barefoot on the ankle-deep snow, pounced on a soldier on night patrol, pulled the man off the horse, and climbed on her own. Go up, kick the horse belly, and rush out in the snow!

Qin Fei stamped his feet in a hurry, snatching a horse to follow.

Li Xuanzhen rode out of the gatehouse and headed straight to the west.

The north wind was biting, and Qin Fei was trembling with the cold while riding on horseback. Li Xuanzhen didn't wear clothes, but galloped into the wind like an okay person. Her long hair was tangled by the wind, her skin and flesh turned blue with cold, and her expression was crazy.

Qin Fei immediately urged Li Xuanzhen to catch up with Li Xuanzhen, stretched out his hand to control his rein, and when Li Xuanzhen's horse slowed down, he immediately flew forward and hugged Li Xuanzhen and rolled off the horse.

With a few puffs, Li Xuanzhen rolled off his horse.

He was lying on his back on the cold snow, looking at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, his crazy expression seemed to ease.

"Ayue..." He stretched out his hand and scratched at the cold air, blood spilling from the wound on his back, "Why are you a thankful daughter?"

…

In March of that year, Chunsun was angry, Liu Yanyingjiao, he was also seriously injured like he is now.

The military doctor told him that only the genius doctor of Chibi could heal his injury.

Li Xuanzhen disguised as a Nanchu person seeking medical treatment, and went to Chibi alone. When he arrived at the pier, the boat slowly drew ashore, and a **** the shore looked over with a smile.

The young girl is young, with pink makeup and jade, charming and charming, standing there facing the wind, smiling, her eyes are like a pair of bright crescents.

For an instant, Li Xuanzhen felt in a daze that the girl in front of him seemed to have known each other.

Obviously it was the first time I saw him, but in his heart he felt very close to the girl.

It's like seeing a swaying flame suddenly while walking alone on a snowy night, a pot of rumbling soup and porridge, and the warmth is full of cold and stiff limbs.

Li Xuanzhen had never felt that way before, feeling strange in her heart, but she didn't show her face, so she went to the doctor's house to ask for medicine.

The next day, there was a torrential rain in Chibi. His injuries worsened and he could not get up. He was lying on the outer porch of the genius doctor's house, soaked all over.

In a dizzy time, a pair of white hands stretched out, helped him to get up, dragged him into the corridor to shelter from the rain, took a bowl of hot medicine to his lips, and fed him down.

Li Xuanzhen was confused and didn't fully wake up until two days later.

The girl I saw on the dock kicked Cuju under the porch, and saw him wake up, a beautiful kick stepped on Cuju, a pair of sweet smiles on his cheeks, "Brother Tai, you are awake!"

She gave Li Xuanzhen medicine every day, seeing him alone and pitiful, and occasionally giving him some food.

It was not until a month later that Li Xuanzhen asked her: "What is your name?"

The girl chuckled: "My name is A Yue."

Li Xuanzhen said silently in her heart several times, and said in her heart, this name really suits her, Jiaojiao Ruo Mingyue.

Ah Yue asked Li Xuanzhen back: "What is Xiongtai's name?"

"My name is Yang." Li Xuanzhen thought for a while, "Yang Changsheng."

Yang is the last name in disguise.

The longevity slave was the name Tang Ying gave him.

He thought that his mother was gone, and no one would call him that again in the future, but when the girl smiled and called his Changsheng brother, he suddenly felt that perhaps he would not be alone in this life.

The years in Chibi are like a dream.

In his dream, he was Yang Changsheng. He met a girl named Ayue. He heard her tell that she had the best brother in the world, and the corners of his mouth curled.

If Ayue is his younger sister, he must be very fond of him, and he is reluctant to let her frown, let alone leave her alone in Chibi.

For the first time, he felt unconvinced, like an ordinary pretentious, high-spirited erlang, secretly thinking that he would be a more perfect and powerful brother if he was compared with A Yue's brother.

On the boat back to Wei County, he was surprised that they might be fellow villagers, and did not think deeply, until Ah Yue stood on the bow of the boat and pointed at the young man riding a horse on the shore in surprise.

"Brother Changsheng, the one who rides the dark horse is my brother!"

Before she finished her words, she saw Li Zhongqian's entourage who was not far away with the banner of the Tang family, and she stayed for a while.

Li Xuanzhen didn't know what Li Yaoying was thinking at that moment.

He only knew that when he recognized Li Zhongqian, there was a buzz in his mind, like countless thunders in his ears.

It seemed that everyone was laughing at him.

Pain, anger, despair.

Hatred.

She lied to him!

She is the daughter of Xie Manyuan and the younger sister of Li Zhongqian!

What a big joke God made with him... After his mother died, for the first time he felt warmth, and he couldn't help but want to be close and take good care of the girl who was actually the daughter of an enemy.

In his life, he was destined to live for revenge.

The burnt face of his mother appeared in front of him, "Kill them all! Kill them all!"

At that moment, all the former goodwill turned into surging hatred, and a raging fire was burned in his heart. He felt resentment, shame, and humiliation.

His anger can't be relieved, he wants to kill her!

In this way, she would always be the A Yue he knew, and they could stay in those years forever.

Li Xuanzhen's eyes were blood-red and cold, and the blue veins on her forehead bulged, strangling Yaoying's throat and pinching tightly.

Yaoying stared at him blankly, trying to break his cold fingers.

He used his hands hard and mercilessly.

She looked at his blood-red Fengmu, "Big Brother Changsheng..."

…

The wind and snow were filled, and the silent night seemed to reverberate with the sigh of a few years ago: Brother Changsheng...

Li Xuanzhen lay on her back on the snow, trembling all over, her phoenix eyes red, and roaring like a sleepy beast: "Don't call me that! Don't call me that!"

Qin Fei stood on the side, and said helplessly: "His Royal Highness..."

No wonder the prince has been erratic in recent years. It turns out that there is such a past between him and the seventh princess.

Li Xuanzhen turned her head to look at Qin Fei, her eyes were straight, and she suddenly leaped forward and grabbed his sleeves: "When my mother died, Li Yaoying hadn't been born... She was not born, she didn't count, right?"

Qin Fei's throat choked and couldn't say a word.

Li Xuanzhen laughed, Qingjun's brows and eyes revealed a bit of hideousness, and he continued: "A-niang never mentioned A Yue's name, she is not counted, she is not counted, she is not counted as my enemy!"

He staggered to his feet.

"I was wrong, I'll pick her up, she doesn't count!"

Qin Fei stopped Li Xuanzhen who was laughing weirdly: "His Royal Highness... Yelu Khan will not let anyone go."

Li Xuanzhen's phoenix eyes widened, and two scorching lights burned in her black eyes: "Then I will grab her back."

Qin Fei sighed, "Can you grab it back?"

Li Xuanzhen stopped.

Yes, he couldn't get it back. He was invited to Ye Lu's department on the impulse. There were only a few soldiers around him, and he couldn't bring her back.

Even if she brought it back, Li De would send her out again.

Today's situation is caused by him.

If he hadn't asked Yelu Khan to meet her at the Buddha's Birthday Ceremony, Khan would not take the initiative to propose Liangzhou as the betrothal gift, and Li De would not have hit her.

If Li De had no decree to grant marriage first, when Li Zhongqian had an accident, she would not have to exchange it.

The flame in Li Xuanzhen's eyes went out little by little, returning to boundless silence.

He looked dull, and walked two steps forward, the wound on his back was aching, and his heart ached more severely, and he threw himself on the snow.

Qin Fei sighed, helped him back on his horse, and led him back to the room.

As soon as he returned to the gatehouse, the patrol soldier rushed up with a letter: "Your Highness, letter!"

Qin Fei glanced at Li Xuanzhen who was numb and said, "Send it to Chang Shi first."

The soldier said anxiously: "This letter is sent from the west! The nonsense said that Princess Wen Zhao asked him to deliver the letter! One hundred thousand in a hurry, no delay!"

Qin Fei was taken aback, before he could speak, Li Xuanzhen on horseback moved suddenly and stretched out his hand to grab the letter in the soldier's hand.

He kept shaking hands and tried several times before opening the letter.

The dim torch shrouded the light, and after reading the letter with the faint light, his face suddenly sank.

"Alert everywhere! Send out sentry!" Li Xuanzhen straightened her back, ignoring the wound on her back, and quickly issued an order, "Warn all the outposts and lock them immediately! Close the city gates! No matter who calls the door, nothing reason!"

"Pass the order on, all ministries stick to it!"

"There are cowardly people, cut!"

After giving these instructions, Li Xuanzhen called his soldiers: "You go to the Yelu Department and pick up Princess Wen Zhao back!"

The soldiers in the gatehouse were stunned for a moment, and they responded in unison, and then proceeded to execute the orders separately.

The low sound of the horn blew up, pierced through the vast wind and snow, and signaled from the pass to the north and south. Every pass immediately responded, and the sound of the horn resounded across the sky.

The atmosphere is deadly.

Qin Fei followed Li Xuanzhen and rushed to the observation deck.

Li Xuanzhen's face was solemn, unlike the madness she had just now, she hurriedly put on her clothes and a random bunch of long hair, standing on the high tower at the corner of the city wall, looking out over the endless snowy fields to the west and north.

Biemutie is actually Haidu Aling.

…

Haidu Aling, the most trusted and respected nephew of the leader of Beirong.

Legend has it that he was born in a tribe on the grassland that made a living by shepherding. Later, his tribe was slaughtered. All men and women in the tribe died under the knife of bandits. The she-wolf was adopted and miraculously survived.

When he was eleven years old, he killed the she-wolf who fed him and went to the Beirong tribe. Relying on his extraordinary riding and shooting skills, he was appreciated by the tribe leader. He was adopted under the leader's knee and followed the leader to fight in the north and south.

That leader is Wakhan Khan of Beirong.

Li Xuanzhen had never confronted Aling Haidu head-on, but last year when Aling Haidu led the tribe to looting, the two passed by many times, and they had heard each other's name.

In the past few years, Wakhan Khan concentrated his troops to conquer the Western Regions.

Li De and Li Xuanzhen once discussed the deployment of the north with the ministers of the DPRK and China.

They agreed that Bei Rong would not send troops to the south in recent years, and that Bei Rong’s current goal is to unify the entire Western Regions.

Therefore, the Wei Dynasty was eager to regain Liangzhou, lest the Northern Rong army would go south in the future, and the Wei Dynasty could not resist.

…

Unexpectedly, Haidu Aling is Bie Mu Tie.

Li Xuanzhen gritted his teeth, and a fishy smell came from the roots of the teeth.

The Prince Beirong, whom he and Li De were deeply jealous of, was always under their noses, and even tried martial arts with him.

In the past six months, Haidu Aling has fought side by side with the Wei army as a member of the Yelu tribe. Has he figured out the deployment of the Wei army?

I was invited to Yelu's department and encountered an ambush on the way back. It can't be a coincidence. Haidu Aling must be the one who started the attack!

If he stayed in Yelu's Department that day, or came back later, wouldn't he have been poisoned by Haidu Aling long ago?

All this is the strategy of Haidu Aling, and Haidu Aling was in the layout a few months ago.

Zhu Luyun had close contacts with the Hu people, and the Yelu tribe, uncharacteristically, demanded that Wei Chao give the marriage...

Zhu Luyun!

She has said that she wants to restore the country.

Who gave her the promise of restoration?

If Zhu Luyun really married Ye Lu's tribe, would Haidu Aling plan to attack Chang'an under the banner of the Zhu family and restore Zhu Luyun to the country?

What happened in the past six months quickly went through my mind.

Li Xuanzhen was frightened, dripping with cold sweat, and hit the wall with a fist.

He was hit, and all of them were played by Haidu Aling!

Now that the Bei Rong soldiers are coming, he is far away in Liangzhou. It is impossible to rush back to Chang'an immediately. I don't know what happened in Chang'an. Will Bei Rong directly bypass Liangzhou?

The footsteps were mixed, and the generals rushed to the tower one after another.

Li Xuanzhen asked in a deep voice, "How many guards do we have?"

The general looked at each other and said in embarrassment: "His Royal Highness, in a hurry, only about two thousand people can be gathered."

Li Xuanzhen closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the killing intent was tumbling in her eyes.

"Two thousand guards are enough."

Haidu Aling has often clashed with Wakhan's other sons in recent years, and Beirong's internal disputes are endless. It is impossible to send all the main forces to attack Dawei. He only needs to hold on until reinforcements arrive.

On the battlefield, no matter how great the disparity between the enemy and us is, he has never been afraid.

The generals were anxious, but seeing Li Xuanzhen's calm face and the domineering attitude of a man who was a man who was a man, he slowly settled down, returned to his own post, and separately counted the number of people.

Half an hour later, the sentry rushed back to report: "Your Majesty, there really is a movement ten miles north of the other side of the river!"

Empress Qin Fei was terrified. In just half an hour after Li Xuanzhen finished reading the letter, the enemy had already arrived. If the letter was delivered later, would they still have a chance to prepare to fight?

He was terrified, and clutched the hilt tightly: "How could Princess Wen Zhao know about Haidu Aling's plan?"

Li Xuanzhen trembled.

He didn't know either.

She was far away in Yelu, lonely and in a bleak situation. She realized that Biemutie was Prince Bei Rong, and sent him a letter to remind him that Haidu Aling was ready to split the army to attack Dawei, so that he was ready to fight. .

He wakes up in time and locks in time, how about her?

What happened to her?

In the snowy night, trumpets were chanted one after another.

The enemy is coming.

Li Xuanzhen drew his sword and stood still, calmly, looking at the slowly approaching battle formation in the dark sky.

He has to hold Liangzhou.

Only by winning this battle can he lead his troops to rescue her back.

…

The battle between Beirong and Guanai guards lasted more than half a month.

No matter how the Northern Rong cavalry launched their charges again and again, the defenders of the city always stayed on the ground without retreating.

Whenever the morale of the defending army was low, the big prince Wei always took the lead and fought bravely, which boosted the morale of the defending army.

On the eighteenth day, Haidu Aling came from Jincheng, rode up the hillside on the other side of the river, looked at the majestic pass still standing proudly on the other side, and asked the counselor behind him: "Did you say that Prince Wei has been seriously injured? Yet?"

Can a dying person carry his subordinates for so many days?

The counselor lowered his head and said, "He was seriously injured, but the person who set up the ambush didn't expect that he would return to Liangzhou so soon. He didn't have time to prepare poison arrows, but only the arrows that he usually used for hunting."

Prince Wei's luck is too good.

Haidu Aling curled her lips, her pale golden eyes slanted: "Since you want to set up an ambush, you should kill them all! Don't leave alive!"

The counselor did not say anything.

Haidu Aling sneered: "Fortune telling him a lot."

He once wanted to assassinate Li De and Li Xuanzhen, but later found out that the risk was too great. Instead, he planned to kill Li Xuanzhen in Ye Lu's tribe, and then plant the spoils directly on Ye Lu's tribe. Unexpectedly, Li Xuanzhen left that night.

Speaking of it, he was careless.

But how could Li Xuanzhen detect Bei Rong's attack in advance?

Haidu Aling frowned.

Not only Li Xuanzhen, but also Jincheng, Xiaoguan, and Shanzhou... the major towns he was about to attack seemed to have received warnings in advance.

He sent hundreds of people to pretend to be members of Yelu's tribe and mixed into Jincheng in the name of Princess Wen Zhao, intending to attack Jincheng by surprise, inside and outside. A man named Du Sinan in the city ordered the beheading.

In addition, Nan Chu and Shu, which were supposed to send troops to attack Wei Wei, suddenly changed their minds. They did not move. Only Bei Qi, who was sitting in Fengzhou, sent troops.

Haidu Aling touched his chin.

Which link went wrong in the end?

Only by first figuring out what was wrong can you avoid making the same mistake again.

He told the counselor: "You personally tortured the guard of the Jincheng prisoner, I want to know, who is the sacred person who informs you!"

The counselor should be.

At this time, there was a faint sound of thunderous horseshoes from the east, flags fluttered, dust rolled, and a group of dense black spots appeared on the endless plain.

Haidu Aling squinted his eyes and smiled: "Their reinforcements are here, so let them go."

Li Xuanzhen is one of the top warriors in the Central Plains, if you can't kill him in one go, it's best not to fall in love with it.

Haidu Aling turned his head and galloped down the hillside.

One day, he will personally lead the army and bring the most brave warrior of the clan to conquer this rich land.

This fertile fertile field is destined to become his pasture in Haidu Aling.

He will conquer wherever Bei Rong's hoof goes.

"Return to Yelu Department."

The corner of Haidu Aling's mouth hooked.

This time, although he failed to provoke the disputes among the Central Plains countries as planned and plunged the Central Plains into the turmoil again, he robbed a lot of things, eliminated several small countries, and captured the entire Helong area except Liangzhou. Also got a stunning beauty.

Thinking of the delicate and invincible state of the beauty leaning on the old Khan's bed and sobbing, he moved his fingers.

He likes to watch beautiful women cry.

The beauty of the Central Plains, with delicate skin and tender flesh, skin like mutton, from head to toe, everything is just right, docile, tame, and delicate. When he sees him, he trembles slightly, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Swallow into the abdomen.

It must be the most ecstasy.

Haidu Aling smiled.

That night, they climbed over the snow-capped mountains and just hit the knight sent by Yelu's head head-on.

The knight flew off the horse immediately and reported: "The prince was killed by the clan loyal to the old Khan!"

Haidu Aling was furious: "Did you not stop it?"

He expected that the idiot of the prince would not be able to control the tribe, leaving a few entourages to react accordingly. Why was the prince still killed?

The knight said ashamedly, "It happened suddenly, and the subordinates didn't expect that the punishment would be imposed suddenly!"

Haidu Aling was taken aback: "God's punishment?"

The knight told the story of the night: "Princess Wei Wenzhao avenged the old Khan and summoned God's punishment. The people of the tribe were terrified. The clansmen and other princes took advantage of the chaos and killed the prince, Wen Zhao. The princess is gone."

Haidu Aling's complexion was gloomy, and the eagle-like sharp cold light passed through the pale golden eyes.

He was fooled.

Princess Wen Zhao can speak nonsense!

How could a princess who marries in a hurry and can still learn Hu Yu without any sensuality, crying at every turn, complaining to the maid over and over again that her brother sent her to be married?

In the same way, a princess who only cries and complains that her brother sent her to his wife, how could she have the courage to pretend to be a ghost, use the god's punishment to disturb the entire Ye Lu tribe, and take the opportunity to escape?

Those states of horror, those cowardly actions, all in disguise, made him think she was just a delicate and cowardly ordinary woman.

When he left, she immediately showed her true colors.

What a gentle and gentle one!

Haidu Aling sneered.

"Which way did she escape?"

He wants to catch the Han girl back himself!

The knight replied in a loud voice: "The princess is walking eastward, and several of her subordinates should rush to get ahead of her!"

He took out a few **** letters from his arms.

"Subordinates waited to intercept and kill several princesses' companions on the road, and each of them had a letter with them! The subordinates waited for a total of 18 people to be intercepted and killed, and twelve letters were robbed!"

Haidu Aling's thick eyebrows were twisted lightly, and he received the letter. After reading the ten lines, he showed a slightly surprised look on his face.

The whistleblower was actually a woman.

His overall plan was actually defeated by this woman.

Haidu Aling's slender eagle eyes narrowed, and with a whistle, the eagle slave was called to release the eagle he had raised.

The eagle spreads its wings and flies high in the wind.

This eagle is his eye, and it will hover in the nine heavens to find him the trace of the princess Wei.

She is his prey.

She can't escape with her wings.
