Unparalleled Concubine - v2 Chapter 1018

   Chapter 1018 Cold Wind Night Watch

   The meeting between Li Xin and Yu Wenzhao this time was an unhappy parting.

In fact, before Li Xin came, he didn’t really want to negotiate with Yu Wenzhao. There is no room for negotiation between the two now. The reason why he came here is to try to delay as much as possible, even if only for half a day. Yuwentao’s reinforcements may come to help, and his subordinates will not have to forcefully rush to the defense line of the Qigui Department, and many people can be killed.

After    Yu Wenzhao left, Li Xin also left the grass hut and returned to his camp. To Li Xin’s expectations, he did not encounter any assassins sent by Yu Wenzhao along the way, which surprised him.

After    successfully returned to the camp, Li Xin called Ye Mao. After knowing that his subordinates were ready to break through, he hesitated for a while and said, “Wait for another day.”

   “Breakout tomorrow night.”

   At this time, Yuwenzhao’s clan was already chasing after him, and waiting for one more day would be an extra day’s risk, but forcibly breaking through the encirclement would inevitably lead to heavy casualties. Now that he knew that Yuwentao had successfully become the new head of the Helan clan, it was worth waiting for another day.

   Ye Mao also understood what Li Xin was thinking. He didn’t say much, just nodded and said, “Got it.”

It was already afternoon. After the order was given, Li Xin did not go back to the tent. He found a cotton coat and put it on himself. Then, on a high **** near the tent, he found a large rock. Sitting on it, he occasionally took out the telescopic mirror from his arms and looked in the direction of the Helan Department.

   For the next few hours, Li Xin sat here until late at night.

   At this moment, it was the first month of the sixth year of Yuanzhao, and it was the cold time in the north. At night, the cold wind was howling. Li Xin sat here and watched the direction of the Helan Department against the cold wind of the northern country.

   Around the time of Xu, Ye Mao, who was still wearing armor, sat next to Li Xin. He looked up at Li Xin, whose face was already a little unsightly, and reached out to pass a hot cake.

   “My uncle has a problem with being afraid of the cold, so go back and rest. I will have a brazier lighted in the uncle’s tent.”

   At this moment, their positions have been exposed, so there is no need to be afraid of exposing the target by making fire. Since yesterday, there has been hot food to eat.

  Li Xin took this cake and took a few bites in his mouth. He felt a little hot, and he felt better, but because of the cold, he still trembled slightly when he spoke.

   “Wait here for one more day, they will lose a bit of life. This decision is made by me, and I can’t sleep when I go back.”

At this moment, it is extremely risky to wait here. At this time, breaking through the defense line of the beggars at night, they only have to face the beggars. If Yuwenzhao’s team catches up and is attacked by the enemy, it is almost impossible. Ten dead.

Li Xin has been leading troops since he was sixteen or seventeen years old, and before he was twenty years old, he led troops westward with Ye Ming. Over the years, he has seen tens of thousands of dead people with his own eyes, and his will is already very strong. It was decided that the pressure in his heart was still enormous.

   Ye Mao said softly: “Didn’t the uncle say that these people are from the court, even if all of us die, can the two of us escape?”

  Li Xin swallowed a piece of cake in two mouthfuls, then looked at the direction of Helan’s department with a telescopic mirror, and sighed slightly: “The people of the forbidden army are also human lives. If they don’t die, I will definitely not let them die.”

  Ye Mao looked at Li Xin again, and then sighed softly: “My grandfather taught me since I was a child that I was not compassionate and did not command soldiers. It is hard to imagine that a compassionate and compassionate person like you is actually a great general with great military achievements.”

   “I’m not very suitable to lead soldiers.”

Li Xin turned his head to look at Ye Mao, and said slowly: “I’m not afraid of your jokes. In the early years, I was the captain of Yulinwei, working under your fourth uncle. I was ordered to **** a batch of supplies to Yunzhou City. I met him in Xiaochenji. Xianbei barbarians, at that time we had 400 school captains and more than 600 barbarians.”

   “The captain’s battalion I brought along with Xiao Chen Jifengsui’s officers and soldiers killed all the more than 600 barbarians.”

   Having said this, Li Xin closed his eyes a little tired and said with emotion: “That battle was the first time in my life that I killed someone on the battlefield, and it is still vivid in my mind, like yesterday.”

   “In the battle of Xiao Chenji, thirty-nine brothers died in the school lieutenant camp I brought.”

   Having said this, Li Xin laughed at himself: “To this day, I still think of this incident from time to time. Sometimes when I close my eyes, I see more than 30 corpses in front of me.”

   At that time, Li Xin was only seventeen years old. The battle of Xiao Chenji was his first time to kill someone with a knife on the battlefield, and the arrangement behind the battle of Xiao Chenji also made him deeply feel the rules of this world.

   This incident had a great impact on his three views, and now more than ten years later, he still remembers it clearly.

   “I heard about this from my father.”

Ye Mao got up, found some dead grass nearby, picked up some stalks, and set it on fire in front of Li Xin, giving Li Xin a little chill. After the battle of Chen Ji, more than 30 people of Shishu’s men were killed in battle, and for more than ten years, Shishu has been supporting the families of these people, and he will send things over during the festivals.”

  Li Xin squinted his eyes and didn’t say much. He threw the dead branches under his feet into the fire in front of him, and then habitually took out his telescopic mirror and looked in the direction of Helan’s department.

   It was almost midnight at this time, and the surroundings were all silent, but in the direction of the Helan Department, there seemed to be a few light spots beating faintly.

  Li Xin stood up immediately, he raised the telescopic mirror, and after reading it several times, he turned his head to look at Ye Mao, and said slowly, “There seems to be someone coming from the Helan Department.”

   Although his tone was calm, he could still hear some vibrato, and he didn’t know whether it was because the weather was too cold or he was too emotional.

  Ye Mao immediately took out his telescopic mirror and looked in the direction of the Helan Department. The firelights in the distance were getting closer, and it could be seen that some torches were jumping up and down.

   Ye Mao’s expression was greatly lifted, and he immediately turned his head and said to Li Xin: “Uncle, it is indeed from the Helan Department. It seems that there should be more than ten horses, and it is estimated that they will be able to come to us soon.”

After seeing the people coming, Li Xin, who was still waiting here just now, was suddenly not in a hurry. He stood up from the fire, stretched a lot, and said indifferently: “Since there are people over there, I don’t need to guard here, you bring a few people to greet them, and I’ll go back to the tent to sleep for a while.”

   Speaking, General Li yawned a lot, rubbed his waist again, and said lazily, “I’ve been here all night, I’m sleepy.”

   After saying this, he walked away.

   Ye Mao looked at Li Xin’s back as he rubbed his waist away, and shook his head helplessly.

   Suddenly, he remembered something, and said loudly to Li Xin’s back: “Master, what is our attitude towards the Helan Department?”

   At this time, Li Xin hadn’t gone far, he stretched again and said with a yawn.

   “If it is the messenger of the Helan department, you can let them send troops to help me and so on.”

   “If Yuwentao comes in person, you can bring him to see me.”
