Chapter 442: Hard-fought and Narrowly Won (Part II)

The breeze is like a girl's delicate fingers, and the touch of gliding over the skin is refreshing. Lan Ziyi closed his eyes slightly, he raised his face to experience this long-lost sense of timidity, for fear that he would let this wonderful feeling slip away if he was not careful.

It's been too long, too long since I've had the opportunity to enjoy this kind of leisure.

Lan Ziyi was sitting on the ground with his legs bent at this time, he put his two hands behind him to support his body, and the whole person looked very relaxed. At the same time, his war horse was leisurely spread around him, Lan Ziyi had already unloaded the horse, and the war horse that had been tired for a day was swaying around looking for tender grass to eat.

Lan Ziyi, who was blown by the wind, was almost about to fall asleep, but God didn't want Lan Ziyi to fall asleep, and a playful red glow jumped on Lan Ziyi's eyelids at this time, like a little girl who played tricks on people, making you want to stop.

Lan Ziyi was shaken by the red glow, so he opened his eyes, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he was stabbed by the sunset on the west mountain.

"It's evening." Lan Ziyi muttered like this, and then he subconsciously took a deep breath, but he regretted it as soon as he took half of this breath, before this he had been reminding himself that he couldn't take a deep breath, and a bloody smell mixed with the smell of earth poured into Lan Ziyi's lungs like a flood that broke the embankment, choking him and coughing.

"What? Chill attack? Coughing so badly. ”

Lan Ziyi looked back and saw that it was Zhang Yanwu leading the horse behind him to speak.

Lan Ziyi did not respond to Zhang Yanwu immediately, because his cough had not stopped, and Zhang Yanwu was not in a hurry, he held the reins and sat aside like Lan Ziyi, waiting for Lan Ziyi to reply.

After Lan Ziyi finally stopped coughing and wiped away the tears choking out of his eyes, he looked at Zhang Yanwu on the side, and then pointed to the corpse behind him that could not be seen at a glance and said:

"If the wind and cold are not good, you can take medicine, and no one will collect the corpses of the dead in this place, so I have chest tightness and cough."

After sitting down, Zhang Yanwu also saw the beautiful scenery of the sunset in the west, so he turned his attention into the distance. Looking at the sky like this can indeed make people relax, Zhang Yanwu only looked at it for a while and then whispered:

"Watch the ebb and flow of the rivers and lakes, and watch the clouds roll up and down in the sky.

It's been a long time since I've been so laid-back. β€œ

This time it was Lan Ziyi's turn not to speak, and waited for Zhang Yanwu silently. So after a while, when Lan Ziyi was about to forget what he had just said, Zhang Yanwu spoke:

"Since Wei Hou knows that there is a pool of blood behind him, how can he find this secluded place to enjoy Qingfu?"

Lan Ziyi shook his head with a smile when he heard this, he reached out to his waist and wanted to get a water bladder, but remembered that he had never been in the habit of carrying a water bladder, and it was usually several brothers who carried water for him.

Lan Ziyi was about to stop there, but Zhang Yanwu handed the water to him. Looking at Zhang Yanwu's expression of "you are satisfied", Lan Ziyi took the water with a smile, unscrewed it and drank it.

After drinking the water, Lan Ziyi wiped his mouth, he returned the water bladder to Zhang Yanwu, and then said:

"After all, the battle is over, people can't be resurrected after death, I haven't rested for a long time, and if the weather is so good today, if I don't enjoy the scenery, it will be a waste."

Zhang Yanwu joked:

"There will be opportunities to see in the future, not bad this time."

Lan Ziyi said:

"Marquis Zhang, just say a few words, didn't you look at the scenery just now?"

Zhang Yanwu said with a smile:

"I'm dying, can't I experience the joy of living?"

Lan Ziyi smiled disdainfully when he heard this:

"You are protected in the middle by the Eastern Army, and the town army outside will not only die, but you will not be able to take your turn, what are you talking about?"

Lan Ziyi's words stimulated the pain in Zhang Yanwu's heart, and his consciousness could no longer be cast on the scenery outside. Zhang Yanwu, who was mentally introspective, looked anxious and angry, to be precise, Zhang Yanwu's anger was the majority, and Lan Ziyi could clearly see the swollen green tendons on his head.

Zhang Yanwu clutched the dirt on the ground, and the horses he was leading were terrified. I only heard Zhang Yanwu gritting his teeth and scolding:

"I was blocked in the middle because I didn't have to worry about my death, but I pity that group of town soldiers, so a group of good men died so much because of Qi Rongxun's stupid blind command.

Weihou, do you know? He came with 80,000 elites, and at least half of them died in the first battle today! β€œ

Lan Ziyi looked at Zhang Yanwu when he heard this, and Zhang Yanwu stared at Lan Ziyi angrily. Lan Ziyi knew that Zhang Yanwu's fire was not coming at him, Zhang Yanwu was just angry.

Lan Ziyi thought about it and did not respond directly to Zhang Yanwu. In Lan Ziyi's opinion, Qi Rongxun made mistakes today in two places, one was to listen to King De's arrangement without thinking about it before the war, and the other was that after his subordinates broke and fled, he led his team to go out recklessly to die. In addition to these two points, Qi Rongxun's performance today is quite good, as far as he is surrounded by his subordinates, no one who commands in the past will be better than him. Now Zhang Yanwu is complaining here, most of it is because of the unpleasantness of cooperating with Qi Rongxun.

However, although Zhang Yanwu said with emotion, he was right, today's battle of the Eastern Army can be described as heavy casualties, right now, on the battlefield behind them that has just been fiercely fought, a small half of the headless mountain of corpses and sea of blood are the corpses of Dongzhen soldiers.

Lan Ziyi didn't want to provoke Zhang Yanwu's anger, so he asked lightly:

"Why didn't Marquis Zhang let go of the reins in his hand? If you lead the horse like this, you will not be tired of the horse. β€œ

Zhang Yanwu was dried by Lan Ziyi for a long time, and the fire was extinguished a lot, and he said:

"If I let go of the horse, won't the horse run away? If there's a place around here where I can tie the horse, I'll have to lead it. ”

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"There are no more demon thieves around here, let the horse run if he wants to run, are you afraid that it will not be lost?"

Then Zhang Yanwu looked at the war horse that was grazing leisurely near Lan Ziyi, shook his head and smiled, and then let go of the reins. At first he was let go, the horse immediately fled to the other side, but after running a few steps, the horse found that there was no demonic threat around, so he jumped back with small steps.

Seeing that his horse ran back again, Zhang Yanwu was completely relieved, and he said to Lan Ziyi:

"Wei Hou really grew up in the border pass and knows so much about horses."

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"I just know that there is a virtue in heaven."

The smile on Zhang Yanwu's face disappeared again when he heard this, and he snorted coldly and said:

"Since Wei Hou has the virtue of a good life, why did he lead the team to retreat after the Dongji Tiger Battalion came just now, and I sent signals many times in a row that you didn't come to support? You are not saved. ”

Lan Ziyi was accused by Zhang Yanwu and did not get angry or worried, he just looked at Zhang Yanwu and said angrily:

"You know why, and you know it's not my fault. Blame that one, don't sit next to me and nag. ”

Saying that, Lan Ziyi glanced at the distance behind him, Zhang Yanwu glanced over and saw that Yu Gongcheng was leading the team to inspect the battlefield.

Zhang Yanwu sighed, shook his head and took his eyes back. After taking it back this time, he didn't speak for a long time, and after a while he asked Lan Ziyi:

"Why did Wei Hou keep calling me Hou Ye since just now? I didn't take the title. ”

兰子义 says:

"Today, we will exterminate the demon thieves and go back to discuss the rewards for meritorious deeds, why are you all made a marquis, what's the problem with calling you a marquis?"

Zhang Yanwu sighed again when he heard this, he looked back at the corpses everywhere behind him, and said:

"If this is called a great victory, then there is no defeat in this world. If I were to get a knighthood from the corpses of these soldiers, I would never be able to sleep again. ”

When Lan Ziyi heard this, his heart moved, and an ancient saying immediately came to mind. Lan Ziyi smiled bitterly:

"One will make ten thousand bones wither."
