Rebirth of a Star General

Smoke billowed from the canal, and it was caught in a sea of ​​fire.

The screams of the Uto people, the sounds of panic, and the sound of Marka's orders were mixed together, and finally all were silent in the sound of "crackling" tearing through the firewood on the ship.

This east wind came late, but came prosperously. He also seemed to know that he was late, and desperately refused to stop. Thousands of Uto soldiers were linked together by iron hooks. The fire came so fast that it was too late to escape, and they were all caught in the sea of ​​fire in the blink of an eye. The rare and ingenious Uto people, who were a little farther away, tried their best to cut off the attached iron hooks, but the smoke was billowing, and it was impossible to tell the direction. There were reefs everywhere. Crash carefully and the boat capsizes.

At this time, the small boats of the Jiyang City Army had the advantage. The boat is flexible and has access to the waterway. Even if the direction is unclear, it is from Jiyang. No one does not know the waterway and leaves easily. Even if it was implicated by the fire, everyone in Jiyang knew water, and they dived early and swam to the shore, mostly unscathed.

The Utto soldiers were not so lucky. In this fire attack, very few people could escape. Even if they escaped, the morale was in chaos, and the morale of the army was scattered.

Under the water, He Yan and Xiao Jue swam to the shore.

The moment the fire was lit, Xiao Jue grabbed her and jumped into the water, and the water in the spring was still cool. He Yan could swim, but when the water covered her eyes and nose, her whole body stiffened unconsciously.

She seemed to return to the moment when He Wanru's people drowned in the pond at Xu's house. The same is true, the sky is above the water, and she is getting farther and farther away from her. She is left underwater forever, and she can no longer see the light.

At first, I was able to support it with all my strength, but after a period of time, I became more and more unable to force it. Physical discomfort can always be dealt with quickly, and the fear in my heart, the shadow left by something, is not easy to forget. of.

She gradually fell behind Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue was in front of him, and seemed to be aware of it. Seeing He Yan behind him, his expression was a rare pain, and he couldn't help but be slightly startled.

He Yan didn't mention in front of Xiao Jue whether there would be water, but it definitely would, otherwise when he jumped off the boat just now, he wouldn't have been able to support it here, but right now, he is afraid of water?

It is also possible, for example, that someone who has been ignited by fire in the past will run away when he sees the fire. A person who fell off a horse and was injured would never mount a horse again, even if he had been a good horseman in the past. He Yan should know water, but he is afraid of water, probably just like those people.

As soon as he thought of this, he saw He Yan's eyes closed, and his expression was not quite right.

Xiao Jue frowned slightly, but she didn't even change her anger? She would be suffocated to death if she went on like this.

He turned back to He Yan, pressed He Yan's shoulder, and tried to wake He Yan, but He Yan seemed to have lost most of his consciousness and didn't respond to his movements.

She looked in pain. She didn't know what bad memories she had in mind. Even under the water, she was still nervous. Xiao Jue looked up, there was still some distance from the shore, and she would die if she continued.

The girl's face was close at hand, and when she was underwater, her long hair had already spread out, and the dirt on her face had been washed away, making her facial features look as transparent and fragile as glass, as if they were about to disappear underwater. . Xiao Jue took a deep breath, held her shoulders, leaned over and kissed her.

The breath continued to pass from her lips, and the suffocation was relieved a lot in an instant. He Yan felt that someone was supporting her. She opened her eyes in a daze, and seemed to see the handsome face of the young man in front of her.

Is it a dream? He Yan thought to herself, when life and death were at stake, why did she still have a spring dream? The object of this spring dream is very handsome, but the location is actually in the water, which is quite regrettable.

No matter how much, she can't remember.

The coolness slowly spread from his face, He Yan spit out a sip of water "cough cough cough", and sat up all of a sudden, with Mu Yi beside him, seeing her waking up, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss He, You are finally awake."

This is on the shore, on the water of the canal in the distance, still thick smoke billows, a sea of ​​fire. She still remembered that she and Xiao Jue jumped into the water, looked back and saw that there was no sign of Xiao Jue beside her, and asked, "Where's the Governor? Why am I here?"

"As soon as I got to the shore, I saw the Governor came out with you in his arms. Miss He, you looked like you fainted. The Governor asked me to take care of you and left by yourself." Mu Yi scratched his head: "There are a lot of black sheep on the shore. The trustee has come up, Jiyang city army is not enough, Miss He, you rest here, I will help first."

"No need." He Yan casually pulled a piece of fabric from the hem of his jacket, tied up his long hair that was scattered in the water, and stood up, "I'll go with you."

...

In the mouth of the gourd, there is also a fierce battle at this moment.

Previously, Liu Buwang used the formation method to trap a group of Uto people. After the Uto people broke the formation, they fought fiercely with Liu Buwang. In the end, they damaged their morale and greedily advanced. Impatient, never found the crisis lurking in the dark. Cui Yuezhi's archer who was in ambush in the dark released his arrows and attacked a Uto man by surprise. At this moment, there are not many Uto people left, and they are fighting with the five thousand Jiyang City army arranged by Cui Yuezhi.

"I don't know what's going on on the river." Cui Yuezhi was thinking about it when he suddenly saw someone approaching, and said loudly: "Master Zhongqi, the east wind is blowing, and Dudu Xiao has already attacked the Utuo army boat, and the Utuo people are in chaos at the moment. Regiment, it's broken!"

"Really?" Cui Yuezhi was overjoyed, "God bless me Jiyang!"

Hearing the words, the Uto man on the other end was in a panic. While telling the soldiers around him not to believe the enemy's tricks to disturb the military's heart, he couldn't help but think wildly. It was originally arranged for them to go ashore first, and then the army would arrive later, but they had just come ashore and encountered the swordsman in white, and they had been entangled for a while just walking out of the formation. It should have arrived a long time ago, why is there no movement now?

One boost, then two declines, and three exhaustions. On this side of Cui Yuezhi, he became more and more brave in battle, and the Utto soldiers were retreating.

"Children!" Cui Yuezhi shouted, "Fight with me!"

...

On the bank of the canal, the Utto soldiers who escaped from the sea of ​​fire and the Jiyang city army fought fiercely.

When He Yan rushed over, there were sounds of swords facing each other all around. There is no Cui Yuezhi here, and the dozens of people who set fire to the boat with He Yan before spontaneously headed by He Yan.

"The advantage of the number of Utto soldiers is gone, at least now the difference is not too big." He Yan said. That fire buried most of the Uto people in it, and although there are more people left than Jiyang City, they are not so disparate.

"Besides, they are definitely disillusioned at the moment, so they can take this opportunity to kill them all." He Yan clenched the whip in his hand, "Go!"

On the side of the ship, she saw Xiao Jue being surrounded by Uto people. These are Mark's cronies. It seems that when the fire was just set, Mark was unable to escape from it. Seeing that the master was gone, the rest of the cronies turned their attention to Xiao Jue, and one who could drag one back would be counted as one. If he can kill Xiao Jue, Xu Neng will make up for it.

The Uto people were extremely dense, and they took turns rushing to attack Xiao Jue. He Yan charged at the crowd with his whip, knocked down one person with one whip, kicked the person in front of him with one foot, and retreated to Xiao Jue's side.

Xiao Jue was a little surprised and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Of course I'm coming," He Yan said. "It's agreed that we will advance and retreat together. I also hope that this time I will make a contribution, and the governor will list me on the court and give me an official position or something."

Xiao Jue sneered: "Think beautifully."

He Yan slowly put the whip in front of him, "Isn't it a great loss if you don't dream of being beautiful?" He rushed into the crowd.

This group of utopians were extremely cunning and ferocious. They only desperately attacked Xiao Jue and He Yan. The rest of the Jiyang City Army and the rest of the Uto people were in the same place, unable to approach at all.

He Yan was slightly annoyed, the number of Jiyang City Army was too small. And now these Uto people are not fighting, they are just gathering people to kill Xiao Jue and her.

"We have to deal with the leaders of these people first." She secretly said.

She was thinking about it, but saw the group of Uto people suddenly speed up their attack. It stands to reason that since they are killing people, she has caused them to suffer such a big loss. She should not be ignored, but this momentum is Go towards Xiao Jue alone.

What are they going to do? He Yan became vigilant. He stepped back subconsciously, wanting to remind Xiao Jue, but when he turned around, he heard a "boom".

The small boat of the Jiyang City Army that docked, along with Xiao Jue and the Uto people, exploded with a loud noise, just like the fire boat in the middle of the river just now. He Yan was also bombed and flew to the shore. She immediately got up, looked into the distance, and suddenly "buzzed" in her mind, and shouted, "Xiao Jue!"

Fragments of the boat were all over the place, and the water surface was violently tossing. Someone came to pull her hand back, and it was Mu Yi, Mu Yi said: "This is a firearm! I heard people say that among the Uto people's craftsmen , Some people can make firearms, but they are extremely rare. I didn't expect them to bring one with them today... It must be for Dudu Xiao!"

He Yan has also heard of it, but firearms are difficult to make and cost a lot of money. Even if they make ten, they may not be able to use them. The Fuyue Army had limited salaries back then, so they finally gave up. Uto people should not have many firearms, otherwise they could throw dozens of them at the beginning. Thinking about it, seeing that Maka was gone, following the idea of ​​losing both sides, Xiao Jue was pulled down together.

"Damn." She gritted her teeth and turned to run in the direction where the boat exploded.

"Miss He!" Mu Yi grabbed her and said anxiously: "There are still firearm fragments around, which may explode again. It is very dangerous for you to go now."

He Yan shook off his hand, and Mu Yi had to persuade him again. When he saw her expression clearly, he suddenly stopped and let go.

He Yan turned and ran into the water.

There were more and more Uto people around, and they stopped in front of He Yan. She simply threw the whip, sneered, turned over and jumped up, and snatched the long knives from the two Uto people. Without any hesitation, the enemy fell between the swords.

She was tied up and couldn't expose herself with a sword, but at least she could use a knife. But what's the use of that? If only she could have been earlier... a little earlier... He Yan's heart suddenly choked up.

There was nothing on the water, only the fragments of the ship floating, and Xiao Jue could not be seen. That person... the one who pulled her up from the desperate situation, will remember her birthday, make her longevity noodles, show her fireflies, and laugh at her in spring but indulge her, why? will disappear here?

She wants to get to the water quickly and find Xiao Jue quickly. Lin Shuanghe is still in Jiyang. If he is found sooner, there may be help. There are not many people in this world who treat her well, and the one who treats her best must never die.

The Uto people were too obstructive, He Yan's brows and eyes were stern, and the long knife in his hand fluttered, making people dazzled. Her pace is also non-stop, only desperately rushing to the place where the explosion was just now.

Mu Yi looked at the girl's figure, and only felt that there was nothing in the universe that could stop her pace. She stretched out her hand as agile as an eagle and as sharp as a knife. He didn't know that a woman could do this too.

The Utuo man rushed up and was swept away by He Yan one by one. She kept going like this, with the corpses of Utuo soldiers behind her, and finally reached the surface of the water.

"Xiao Jue—" she shouted.

No one answered.

"Xiao Jue—"

He Yan bent down and tried to fish out something on the water, but when he lifted his hand from the water, only the water flowed away from his fingers, and nothing remained.

Empty.

She was a little dazed, so dazed that she couldn't tell what the uncontrollable sadness in her heart was. It felt like the day she was suddenly blinded, the day she was held in the water by He Wanru's people, and she was about to lose something very important, so sad.

"Xiao Jue..." she muttered.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind: "What are you shouting?"

She turned around suddenly, and saw the young man in black armor striding forward, there seemed to be a hint of mockery in the cool eyes like autumn water.

From the shore to the shallow water, there are all the Uto people who she just killed in anger. The corpse fell to the side, and it can be seen that the swordsmanship is exquisite and ferocious, and it is all killed by one sword.

The young man raised his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on the long knife in her hand that was dripping blood. After a while, he looked at her with a half-smile, "So fierce?"

The next moment, the girl suddenly rushed over, threw herself into his arms, wrapped her arms around his waist tightly, and buried her face in his arms.

The Jiyang City Army behind him on the shore was stunned.

Xiao Jue's body froze, her eyes slightly annoyed: "You..."

The next moment, he closed his mouth, just because he felt that the body in his arms was shaking violently. She jumped into the water before, and almost suffocated herself in the water. The undershirt was soaked through, and the armor was heavy. It was extremely cold on the girl, making her extremely vulnerable.

Xiao Jue endured and endured, and finally couldn't bear it, and forcefully pulled her face out of his arms.

"What are you doing, I'm not dead yet." He scoffed.

He Yan stared at him in a daze, this man was standing in front of him, fresh and vivid, right in front of him.

Suddenly she burst into tears.
