Zhe Yuelan sat by the pond, wearing a green shirt. Some half-green and half-yellow leaves in her hands were crushed to pieces, and debris floated out of her slightly rough hands. She sat quietly, looking at the empty school intently. Her heart was like a small pond next to her, with ripples rolling up and down.

She once wanted to gather all the orphans in Hebei, teach them personally, and make them a Yulin personal army in Hebei. But soon after, Hu Yangeng let various towns take over the more than a hundred orphans.

Hu Yangeng explained to Zhe Yuelan: "It will be more beneficial for them to let these children grow up as civilians. And I regard the world as my family and do not need the Hu family army."

Zhe Yuelan was a little confused about Hu Yangeng, generations of Zhe family generals, Yang family generals and Hu family generals, weren’t they all cultivated in this way? Qiu Muling Zhonglian, Pu Liuru Bosheng, Bu Lu Gu Leping, who was not the father who died in battle and became an orphan before being adopted by the Hu Yan family.

Lu Mei was like a little fox, curled up in the shade of the tree on one side, staring at the corner of her eyes with a smile on her name that she needed to protect, but in fact she was the Secretary Luan Pavilion who was protecting her.

She picked up a small piece of soil, glanced at Zhe Yuelan, but the piece of soil did not hit Zhe Yuelan like she thought, but fell to the ground beside her.

A ticking sound also woke Zhe Yuelan up from her daze. The years of training between life and death made her hold the sword beside her in her hand in a moment, and the melancholy on her face was swept away, and she listened carefully to the abnormal movements around her.

"Sister, it's me!" Lu Mei looked at Zhe Yuelan's alert look, lowered her head, and walked out of the shade of the tree with a smile on her face, "Sister is missing and comforting her again. It's only a few months since I saw you, and my sister is like three autumns."

Zhe Yuelan frowned and said, "Why are you talking about these things all day long? The refugees died in the wilderness and the people fill the ravines. Lu Mei, do you think about who Yan Geng married and whom he evil? How do you tease you? Don't you feel annoyed?"

When Zhe Yuelan looked at her, she always looked at her father before her death. She didn't know how many years ago, the 14 or 15-year-old girl dressed up in the mirror every day, hurriedly showing off herself in front of her father and brother, waiting for their praise.

But after Zhe Ke and his death in Yanmen Pass, everything changed the same way. Yang Juzhong, who had a marriage agreement with her, also heard bad news. She suddenly realized that there was no one in this world who could shelter her from the wind and rain, whether she was her father or her nominal husband, she would never come back. From then on, the rouge and the girlish feelings were no match for her.

Not only that, she also had to support the Daizhou Zhe family with her shoulders, and she could not lose her reputation as her father.

"Oh~" She sighed softly, put the sword back into the scabbard, sat down to the original place, looked at the pond, and asked the little girl who wanted to snuggle beside her: "Do you really want to do it?"

"What did my sister say?" Lu Mei seemed to not understand what Zhe Yuelan was saying, with a look of confusion. Zhe Yuelan turned her eyes to look at her. How could she hide such a little girl's trick? After all, she led a group of women and children to deal with the Jin soldiers for two or three years.

She didn't say a word, just stared at Lu Mei until she lowered her head.

Lu Mei knew that she couldn't hide it, so she put away the expression on her face and said hatefully: "How could I think about it? Without him, how could my father, mother and brother die?"

"Haha~" Zhe Yuelan chuckled, "Without him, your father and brother will die sooner or later. Don't forget, your mother and brother died at the hands of the Jin soldiers, and it has nothing to do with him. Look at Luo Qing from Luojiabao, the whole family was captured by the Jin soldiers for hard labor. No matter how beautiful you are, you are just a slave to the Jin thief. As long as the Jin thief is hungry, they will eat you."

She looked at Lu Mei, her tone was faint, as if everything was irrelevant. But Lu Mei heard a wave of chill. She shrank and said, "Even if my father is dead, is Hu Yangeng a good person? He has bad intentions towards his sister."

"You little girls don't have to worry about these adult affairs."

"Who said I was a little girl? At least... at least Hu Yangeng played with me... but my sister hasn't." Lu Mei found that he had said the wrong thing, and the voice behind him became smaller and smaller.

"You and him... have already had it?"

"I don't know if it counts. He said that he didn't count before he entered. He had to wait until his sister passed by before taking me..."

"I won't say these dirty words to you." Zhe Yuelan stood up and turned around and left.

Lu Mei followed up: "What are you worried about when my sister is worried every day?"

"I don't know what he is thinking. He promoted Ruiz on Hebei East Road. He was obviously the backbone of the private army, but he didn't let me teach orphans a lesson."

"He is afraid that his sister will train the Zhe family army secretly."

"With his demeanor, unlike Gao Lu, who married him, Gao Chong was the commander of the Beiwei Army, and the private troops of Gaojiazhuang were all integrated into the Beiwei Army. Taking this as an example, he would not be suspicious of me."

"Sister Gao is different. He has already taken over the house. Sister Zhe, do you want to compete with Sister Gao? Then when will you marry him?"

"I told you not to say this." Zhe Yuelan was angry and roared, then his voice turned dull, "I will not get married until someone in the Zhe family in Daizhou holds up the door."

"But, sister, didn't you say that General Zhe is the only daughter of you?"

"I can't say that I can only adopt one person from the Zhe family in the Prefecture."

"I don't know how Daizhou is now. There is only one horse guard in Daizhou, hanging behind the enemy..." Lu Mei murmured.

Daizhou, Wutai, Feng.

A big banner with the word "horse" floated over a dock that had not been built. A few miles away from the dock, thousands of golden soldiers were reeling horses and waiting for orders, and several powerful men from Hedong were standing behind with their chaotic army.

While they were waiting for the Jin soldiers' orders with a nervous expression, they looked at the vaguely visible flag of "horse". They didn't know if the messenger who informed him had arrived.

"Is there any news from Hebei coming?" Ma Kuo, who was walking on the construction site, asked his staff, who were composed of locals in Daizhou.

These days, several nearby powerful people reported that the Jin soldiers in the brigade seemed to be going through Daizhou and back to Datong District. It is said that these Jin soldiers were the sons of Wanyan Nianhan and returned from the Great Win of Huaixi. Then there should be more accurate news in Hebei.

"There is no news, but I heard the rumors that Wanyan Aguda's sons compete for profit, and most of them will go south to pursue the emperor."

"If you seek profit for a hundred miles, you will definitely be the general!" Ma Kuo smiled, coughed twice, and said, "Hebei has a chance to rest."

But in the distance, a knight in red quickly passed by the fortress, and then heard the long shouts of soldiers on the tower: "Enemy attack~"

The whole camp started moving.

"Woo~" The horn of the attack of the Jin soldiers sounded, and five thousand Jin soldiers poured down.

"Om~" As the sky darkened, thousands of arrows fell on the unbuilt fort. Three or four nearby soldiers expanded their horses and hid to the ground. The soldiers hid behind the half-man-high earth wall with shields, waiting for the Jin soldiers to attack.

The Jin soldiers shouted and rode their horses into the trench that had not been dug. The soldiers hiding behind the earth wall shouted and rushed forward, and their spears met the Jin soldiers' swords.

"Fight to the death!" Yi Du's head shouted, and the long robbery had already cut into two pieces. He abandoned his gun and drew his sword, and slashed on the leg of a Jin soldier who was about to jump into the trench. The Jin soldier screamed, and the two long slashed at Du's head at the same time.

His head was covered in blood, he opened his mouth and rushed to the right. The long sword of the Jin soldier on the left immediately fell to nothing, but the long sword on the right slashed his left arm, and the left arm flew out. The captain was not aware of it, and the long sword looked fiercely on the horse's neck.

"Puuu~" The dying horse penetrated the Jin soldier heavily on the ground.

A touch of blood. He pressed his right hand on his broken arm and shouted loudly.

"Fight to the death——, protect the family——”

A Jin soldier's war horse stepped on him, and the voice "protected the family" gradually disappeared under the war horse.

Ma Kuo's eyes were full of tears. Bao's family, his family was not here, his family was in the northwest.

"Cabin, cavalry preparation."

The horse widened and ordered his subordinates. He pushed away the soldiers around him with one hand. There were cavalrymen in Daizhou, but only a few hundred people. He walked up to the center of the fort with a high platform hanging from a war drum, stood on the platform, watching the local farmers who followed him to guard the hometown of Daizhou, bravely fighting with the Jin soldiers on the edge of the trench.

His hair and beard were all open, and he pushed away the soldiers standing there, snatched the drum hammer, and knocked them hard, with passion, youth and ambitions flying. Just like the time when crossing the sea and forming alliances to destroy Liao, the familiar drum sound made the soldiers behind the earthen walls excitedly.

The heroic voice of "fight to death, protect the family" erupted from his vast chest and was passed on to those who did not surrender with the sound of drums.

"Fight to the death! Protect the family!" A shrill voice came one after another in the fortress. They used their bodies to resist the Jin soldiers on the edge of the trench. They leaned against the low wall and fired long arrows at the Jin soldiers. They leaned against their robes and were trapped in the horses of the Jin soldiers, fighting to the death.

Because they knew that every time a Jin soldier was eliminated, Wutai County, which was covered by this fort, would be safer.

"Hiss~" A sharp arrow suddenly came.

The soldiers beside him fitted up, and the sharp arrows passed through the shield and the chest. Blood rushed out of his body in the direction of the sharp arrows, and spread on Ma Kuo's body, stained on the war drum. Ma Kuo suddenly felt it, and the blood was flying in the sky with the drum hammer.

The soldiers stood upright with the spear, and their lives gradually faded away with blood, and their bodies were still firmly guarding the generals behind them. The sound of drums changed and became more and more rapid. Then the loud sound shocked the fort and the cavalry suddenly came out.
