Chapter 825
As expected of a veteran.
Even though he had never been to the southeast border, he still knew the terrain here in a short period of time, and guessed the direction of his escape based on experience.
Eyes met, no one moved.
Only the horse is unreasonable, and the sound of hooves is still soft.
In the dark night, behind Qin Xiao, there was a faint figure, and there was a chill.
"My lord, have you ever thought about today's situation?" Qin Xiao asked lightly on the horse.
"Never." Feng Qingbai raised his lips, "This king thought about competing with the general in the court, but never thought that one day, he would be blocked by the general on the border of other countries."
Patting the horse's back, Qin Xiao looked up at the sky above his head, there was no starlight, "I will be in power for more than 40 years, and I never thought that one day, I will block the prince at the border. For many years, the prince has always regarded the old man as an opponent , today, let’s make a break.”
"The general spent his entire life as a soldier, guarding the territory of Nanling. This king thought that even though the general's thoughts were unpredictable, he was always loyal to the country and the court. Did the general's actions today bring turmoil to the court?" Feng Qingbai's eyes looked bright. Calmly, with a light voice, "Is this really what the general wants?"
"If the lord dies today, I will use my death to apologize to the people of Nanling. I have already done everything I can do for the country." Give it to Guochao, let me live for myself."
With a shock of the huge sword, Qin Xiao shouted, "In this battle, you must fight alone, and you will die! All the generals obey the order and retreat!"
"General!"
"Back!"
Feng Qingbai didn't move, his eyes swept across the army horses behind Qin Xiao, even in the dim light, he could still clearly see the shock and pain on the faces of those soldiers, as well as their admiration and conviction for Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao is the only one who can make the soldiers of the country and court only obey the orders of the generals in the entire Nanling.
The loyalty and love of the soldiers and generals to him is higher than that of the imperial court.
This is Qin Xiao's exchange for decades of sharing joys and sorrows with these soldiers.
Feng Qingbai didn't say any more.
For a moment, he couldn't figure out what Qin Xiao meant by living for himself once, and what connection it had with killing him.
But at this moment, the only way to challenge is to respect this veteran.
Just the fact that Qin Xiao ordered all the generals to retreat and fight him alone is enough for him to respect.
Qin Xiao is different from Concubine Liu, Prime Minister Zuo and others.
With one hand on his back and one hand holding a sword, Feng Qingbai's eyes were burning with fighting intent and murderous intent.
Respect is one thing, he has to live.
Sheng Sheng was still waiting for him in the capital.
There was a dull pain in his left shoulder. At this time, he was completely unsure about facing Qin Xiao. The only thing he could do was to give his best.
On the horse's back, internal energy poured into the blade of the sword, making a buzzing sound.
Qin Xiao shouted sharply, and rushed straight from the horseback.
The confidant generals he brought around all looked solemn, staring at the two fighting, and everyone's hearts were raised at this moment.
The king of Nanling, and their general, are both important ministers of Nanling today, and it would be a great loss for Nanling to lose anyone.
But none of them can stop it.
Qin Xiao has experienced hundreds of battles on the battlefield, and he is excellent in martial arts. He uses his skills to win with his strength.
Feng Qingbai's soft sword is light, with a strange figure, and he puts cunning first.
But he was hurt.
And this is his second tough battle in turn.
Failure to eat normally for many days is also a great loss to his physical strength.
The passage of time seemed to have become extremely slow, the duration of the fight was stretched extremely long, and the sky began to reveal light.
Dim light fades to gray.
Sweat soaked his clothes, and the sound of swords clashing filled the space.
In addition, there is panting from exhaustion on both sides.
Waist! The weapons were handed over again, and Feng Qingbai's arm was numb with the extremely fierce force through the soft sword, and the wound on his left shoulder also burst due to the force, overflowing with blood.
Feng Qingbai's movements were slightly sluggish.
If a master fights, even the slightest mistake will be fatal.
His soft sword was knocked down, and the Wufeng epee rushed towards him. Behind the epee were Qin Xiao's eyes with fierce killing intent.
Feng Qingbai's pupils shrank sharply!
He can't avoid this sword!
He could even feel that the tip of the sword had touched his heart, and it would pierce through in the next moment!
"Zhi-bang!" In the distance, something exploded in the sky with a sharp sound like a phoenix chirping.
When the heavy sword was about to pierce the flesh, it stopped.
Qin Xiao raised his head and looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky in the distance. It was Yu Fei, the phoenix.
It was the only gift he gave her, the only gift she accepted.
"Hahahaha——" Qin Xiao laughed suddenly, the end of his eyes turned red quietly, and looked at Feng Qingbai, "The criminal Qin Xiao intercepted and killed the King of Nanling. My soldiers and generals have nothing to do with them, they are all here to help the border! I also ask the lord to be lenient to them. When it comes to state affairs, the lord has always been clear about rewards and punishments, and puts the overall situation first. Can the lord accept this request from the old man?"
Staring quietly at Qin Xiao for a moment, Feng Qingbai nodded, "I agree."
"My lord, thank you very much, my lord!" Qin Xiao laughed again, looking up at the world, "In my life, Qin Xiao, I have deserved the heaven and the earth, my family and my parents, and I have deserved my death!"
The epee retracted and wiped away at the neck, resolutely.
In this life, he is worthy of no one, only one person.
Now she wants him to stop, he has only one death.
"General!" In the rear, the eyes of all the soldiers were tearing apart.
Bang, the epee fell to the ground, and the surroundings were silent.
Qin Xiao clutched his wrist, his eyes were deeply focused on Feng Qingbai.
"The general has made illustrious military exploits for our court, and he is not afraid of life and death on the battlefield. Why are you afraid of surviving to stand trial?"
"I, Qin Xiao, have nothing to fear!"
"This time, the king is trapped, and the armies of the two dynasties have already started fighting. The general's talents should be used on the battlefield to help us defend the border in Nanling. Regarding the interception and killing, the general will return to the court triumphantly, and the king will be convicted again. Does the general have any objections?" Picking up the epee from the ground, he returned it to Qin Xiao, "Whether the people of Nanling can live and work in peace and contentment, the border guards will be guarded. Even if the general is going to die, he should die on the battlefield. That is the real death."
Holding the sword hilt firmly, Qin Xiao stared at the wind and green cypresses for a long time, lowering his eyes, "I'm determined to be the only one who dies for the people of Nanling!"
"The final general will be after the death of our people in Nanling!" Behind them, a group of soldiers bowed their hands in unison, and their voices shook the sky.
The corners of Feng Qingbai's lips slightly raised, "I am waiting for your good news."
Seeing the signal flares from Yigu City, Wei Zi and his men have been fighting with others within the East-Vietnamese border for several days. Seeing the purple fireworks blooming in the daytime sky, his whole body relaxes, and a smile appears on his rigid face all year round. "Back! Back to the city!"
The sound of horns, the beating of drums, and the reinforcements pouring in from the battlefield greatly boosted the morale of Nanling soldiers.
In one go, the momentum is like a broken bamboo.
When Cheng Sheng saw the invincible figure in front of the army, he grinned for a long time and laughed freely.
He, Cheng Sheng, respected the capable people the most in his life, and among them, General Qin Xiao, who had only been known by his name, was the most.
To be able to fight side by side with the great general is worth dying in this life!
The sword pointed at Dongyue, "Kill!"
