The snow behind them made a crunching sound. They both turned around at the same time and saw Shen Zhongan walking in the deep snow, one foot shallow and the other foot.

"What are you two doing here?"

"We're sharing the buns to eat." Shen Yu said.

Shen Zhongan smiled knowingly, took out a steamed bun from his chest and handed it to her.

Food was in short supply, and one general only had a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun. Both her father and brother wanted to leave the good ones to her.

Shen Yu finally couldn't hold it in any longer and said with red eyes, "I just finished eating and I can't eat anymore."

The army has run out of food, so it would be nice to have something to eat, but not enough to eat.

Shen Zhongan kicked Shen Zhao, and Shen Zhao stepped aside. He sat down between the two of them, stuffed the steamed buns into Shen Yu's hands and said, "Eat, kill the horse tomorrow, and let all the soldiers have a full meal, so that they can cheer up." Fight again.”

Killing the horse is already the final decision with no way out.

That is the last meal of millions of sons and daughters.

No one spoke, and the cold wind howled over the hills and blew farther away.

Shen Zhongan put his arms around the two children and looked into the distance and said: "Beyond the Black Bird Mountain is the land within the pass. The Great Zhou Dynasty has stood here for hundreds of years. The land under our feet has buried the lives of many heroes. Dry bones.”

"I have thought about it before, what would your mother do if one day I was wrapped in horse leather and buried in a foreign land? Then she died so early, and she asked me to bury her on the flattest land in Heique Mountain. She said what if One day, I can meet her by walking down the river."

Shen Yu's eyes were sore.

In her previous life, she had never come to the border, nor had she heard such farewell words from her father. She rushed thousands of miles from Shengjing, buried the broken bones of her father and brother, and buried them in the ancestral grave of the Shen family.

She is not afraid of death, she just hates it.

A hero should die on the battlefield with dignity and dignity, instead of being trapped and trapped here in a cowardly manner by being attacked from both sides.

Shen Zhongan looked calm, patted them both on the shoulders, stood up and walked back.

Shen Yu: "Dad..."

Shen Zhongan knew what she was going to say, raised his hand and waved it, and his heavy voice was carried by the wind.

"We should die in admonishment, and we should die in battle. This should...should be the fate of a soldier."

The winter outside Guan is so cold.

Shen Zhongan looked up at the sky, he couldn't leave...

As soon as they leave, the Xijue people can take Yanliang Pass directly. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the pass, and they need to be blocked by a wall made of their corpses.

Therefore, we may lose this battle, but we must not retreat.

But his daughter was not a soldier, and she still had a long way to go. He could not let her young body be buried here, trampled into pulp by the Western horses.

The two watched Shen Zhongan leave, and Shen Zhao took off the bag from his waist and handed it to her.

Shen Yu took it, smelled it, and smiled, "It's a burning knife."

"Drink a little to warm yourself up, don't drink too much." Shen Zhao warned.

Shen Yu took a sip, and the strong alcohol burned her throat, and her whole body became warmer.

She handed it back to him. Shen Zhao shook his head, looked in the direction of the camp and said, "Send a message to her for me."

"Who?" Shen Yu turned her head.

Shen Zhao looked in the direction of Sheng Jing with gentle eyes, "Tell her not to wait for me."

Shen Yu understood who she was referring to, and her eyes turned red instantly, "I can't pass this on. You can go back and tell her yourself."

Shen Zhao smiled, "Forget it, don't say anything to her. It's best just like this. She will forget it as time goes by."

Shen Yu shook her head, how could she forget? How could someone who had been engraved in their bones forget easily? Miss Yu had never married until her death.

She turned her head and looked at Shen Zhao's face, her eyes gradually becoming difficult to focus.

She shook her head, her vision became more blurred, "You...you were in the wine..."

Shen Zhao didn't wait for her to finish her words, he pushed her head on his shoulder, "Auntie, don't take revenge for this. Just move forward and live your own life. My brother and parents are watching. And you."

After he finished speaking, he looked down at her. The girl had fallen asleep on his shoulder.

He carried her on his back and walked silently towards the south of the camp, just like the path he had taken with her on his back.

Cha Cha, Cha Cha...

Ayu, you will have to walk alone in the future.

Three miles south of the camp, a small group of soldiers lined up here.

Shen Zhongan took the lead. When Shen Zhao approached, he got off his horse and picked up the sleeping Shen Yu.

The heavy snow had stopped a long time ago, and the snow reflected the moonlight and gave off a bright white light.

They said goodbye silently, no one spoke, except for the sound of footsteps and the scraping of armor, and the only sound left was the horse's panting.

After settling down Shen Yu, the two got on their horses.

Shen Zhao whipped his horse, pointed in one direction and said to Kong Qing: "If you keep walking in this direction, you can go to the fiefdom of King Beilin."

Kong Qing knelt on the ground, "General——"

"I handed her over to you." Shen Zhao said seriously: "Protect her. This is the last military order I give you."

Kong Qing's face was stern, his eyes were scarlet, "Yes! The last general takes the order!"

"Let's go." Shen Zhongan urged.

He turned the horse's head and walked very slowly, hearing the sound of the hoofbeats of the small team behind him rustling away.

He wanted to take another look at his daughter, but he couldn't bear to look back.

That's all, whether you watch it or not, the ending is the same. There will always be a time to gather and part ways, and there will also be a time to see each other again.

The sound of horse hooves rang in my ears, and my body gradually woke up from the jolts.

Shen Yu slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were completely dark, and her body was still semi-paralyzed.

She tried to move her arms, and the person in front of her seemed to notice that she had woken up, and lifted the cloak covering her head.

"girl."

She recognized Kong Qing's voice, and the dazzling light made her close her eyes instantly, "Where am I?"

Kong Qing looked ahead, "It's a hundred miles north. We can cross the river in half a day's running, and then we can go around..."

"Let me down!" Shen Yu said.

At this moment, she could see everything around her clearly. There were about ten people in two queues, and she and Kong Qing were riding together. Probably because he was afraid that she would fall in a coma, Kong Qing tied her to his back.

The horse was still heading north, but Kong Qing did not turn the horse's head.

Shen Yu tried to struggle, but found that all the muscles and veins in her body were restrained.

Realizing her intention, Kong Qing said: "Girl, I am escorting you back to Shengjing under the order of the general."

Shen Yu said sternly: "I won't go back to Beijing. My father and brother are still outside Yanliang Pass. Do you want me to leave them and escape on my own?"

Kong Qing said nothing.

"Kong Qing, are you going to be a deserter?"

"We are not deserters!"

"If you are not a deserter, then follow me and fight back."

Kong Qing suddenly reined in his horse, dismounted and stood to one side, "Girl, we can't go back. Liang Jianfang has sealed the city. Food from within the pass cannot be transported out, and soldiers outside the pass cannot go back. This is a dead situation."

"So what if it's a dead end?" Shen Yu said solemnly: "Would you rather live and live in guilt for the rest of your life, or kill a few Xijue people and then die gloriously?"

Kong Qing was speechless, but the unwillingness on his face betrayed his thoughts.

Shen Yu continued: "If you die for your country on the battlefield, why should you return your body wrapped in horse leather? This is the first line of poetry my father taught me. If I don't retreat, even if I am buried there, I will watch others attack the Xijue people." retreat."

Kong Qing's eyes were about to burst, he raised his head and said, "We will not retreat."

"Then untie the acupuncture points for me."

Kong Qing stared at her face, with a lot of struggle on his face. After a while, he shook his head and said, "As long as I am a soldier of the general, I will be ordered by him. After sending the girl back to Beijing, I will come to meet them." Get together.”

Shen Yu was furious, "Okay, you don't understand, right?"

Kong Qing looked at her in confusion. After a moment, he suddenly understood what she wanted to do, "No, girl!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the corners of Shen Yu's lips were already bleeding.

"Can you understand?" she threatened.

Mobilizing the inner energy to forcefully break through the acupuncture points is extremely harmful to the body. In serious cases, it may even cause the loss of martial arts.

Kong Qing felt as if an invisible knife was held to his neck, so he had to clean her acupuncture points neatly.

In the next moment, Shen Yu grabbed the reins and turned the horse's head, "I have to go back. This is a road of no return. You can choose to leave on your own, or you can choose to fight back with me."

The soldier held the reins tightly, "We will advance and retreat together with the girl."

"Me too!"

"At least kill a few Xijue people before we start!"

Kong Qing took a deep breath, grabbed the reins and climbed onto the back of another horse.
