"Sir, did we win..."

"Yeah, I win."

The remaining yang is as hot as fire, like a deep red bloodshot.

Peace reflects the earth.

Illuminating the sadness of the tragic elegy and the numerous weapons stuck upside down in the snow.

The corpses formed a path for the living to move forward, occupy the tower, collect the remaining soldiers, and seize the pass.

The battle is now over.

"That's great..." The dragon-patterned spear pierced through the earth, like the roots of a tenacious plant, taking root in the bloody battlefield.

Wu Yingxue just sat there, paralyzed, leaning against the gun.

Her face was covered in blood. There was a wound on her forehead, from which bright red blood kept flowing, dyeing her hair and her pale lips red.

She lowered her head and smiled, but more blood flowed out of her mouth, drop by drop, soaking her clothes.

It hurts a lot.

Very weak.

Girls are the innate nature of the new.

Due to lack of experience and skills, he could only rely on the quality of Qinglong Gangqi to suppress his opponent and win.

This is already outstanding enough, after all, the opponent is an innate general who has fought for many years.

For this, the girl really tried her best.

Even now that the battle is over.

She could only sit there powerlessly, watching the sun set and the night fall, unable to move at all.

“Pah—”

“Pah—”

There were sounds of footsteps, the snow and mud were being trampled at the same time. Wu Yingxue forced herself to open her eyes and gave a forced smile to the person coming.

"Sir, I win."

she said.

"I saw it, Yingxue, you did a great job."

Xu Xi said in a gentle voice.

Squat down.

He stretched out his hand to wipe the blood off the girl's face, then supported the girl so that she could stand up again.

“Wait, wait!”

The girl's eyes suddenly widened.

At this moment, she was still thinking about being stubborn.

"Sir, you don't need to help me. I can stand up by myself!"

Wu Yingxue's voice was so confident.

He pushed away Xu Xi's hand, stepped forward, and then -

"Gulp gulp."

"Gulp gulp."

The fiery red figure's legs went weak and he fell to the ground. He rolled several times in the snow before finally coming to a stop.

Ahhh…

Her delicate face was full of confusion.

The red and white formal robe now looked even dirtier after rolling in the snow.

There was snow flying.

It floated down from the air and landed right on the tip of the girl's nose.

"pain."

The girl, lying in a spread-eagle position on the snow, finally uttered these words, her expression much more honest.

Xu Xi was quite helpless and reached out his hand to the girl again, but this time, he did not choose to support the girl, but chose to carry her on his back.

"Lie down and don't move."

"Yes, sir."

In Wu Yingxue's response.

Xu Xi carried the girl on his back, picked up the dragon-patterned spear on the ground, and walked towards the inside of the pass.

Behind him, there were many refugees and hungry people who followed him into the pass and into a future where they could survive.

The sunset is broken.

Cracked by pairs of cloth shoes covered with loess and mud.

The cold wind is scattered.

Blocked by a series of ragged figures.

The setting sun was like molten gold pouring down upon the earth, quickly fading away its last rays of light and transforming into numerous stars, twinkling in the night sky.

"gentlemen."

Xu Xi was walking when he heard a girl's voice from behind.

She lay quietly, with her arms around Xu's neck, fixing herself on Xu's back.

The voice was curious: "What rating can I get today?"

Xu Xi hesitated for a moment and gave an answer: "B grade."

"B grade? That's an improvement from last time."

Wu Yingxue chuckled a few times.

Seems very happy.

But her body was so weak that she suddenly started coughing while laughing. Then she closed her mouth obediently and buried her head in Xu Xi's shoulder.

I always feel that it is very down-to-earth...

This thought popped into Wu Yingxue's mind.

She listens to Xu Xi very much.

I never thought of disobeying.

He always lay obediently on Xu Xi's back to avoid disturbing his walking.

But that doesn't mean girls can't do other things.

"..." She narrowed her eyes into a slit and stared at Xu Xi's neck in a very cute manner.

Then he cast a curious look towards Xu Xi's ears.

Look at the black hair swaying in the cold wind.

Then she also blew gently into Xu Xi's hair like a child, and smiled as she watched her hair swaying in the wind.

"The stars are so beautiful tonight..."

As Wu Yingxue, who was lying on Xu Xi's back, laughed, she suddenly realized that the starry sky was exceptionally bright tonight.

There was no heavy snowfall to obstruct the view.

There were no dark clouds covering the sky.

The vast galaxy shines in the girl's eyes, so bright and eye-catching.

Much brighter than the night when I made origami flowers.

Delicate, like a calm river flowing in the night sky.

They flickered like little suns shining.

"Sir, I remember you said there are tens of thousands of stars in the sky?"

"Yeah, I told you, what's wrong?"

"It's OK."

The girl was carried on Xu Xi's back and laughed, "I just wanted to try and count them one by one to see if there are really that many."

There are endless stars to count.

The stars are endless, and the human eye is bound to make mistakes.

But inexplicably, the young princess who had lost everything wanted to try it again.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!

So.

She begged Xu Xi to help her remember it.

I started counting stars foolishly.

"One, two, two, three, four."

"Pfft, that's not right."

"One, two, three, four, five..."

The sky is full of dazzling stars, the Milky Way shines with endless brilliance, and the stars open up a bright future for this dark world.

Xu Xi carried the girl on his back and walked into the pass, heading towards the Thirteen States of Daqian deeper in the city.

The sound of counting stars.

Weakens over time.

It became slower and slower, more and more tired, until it turned completely into light snoring.

Wu Yingxue counted the stars until she fell asleep.

Xu Xi paused for a moment, then took even smaller steps forward, murmuring a number: "One thousand three hundred and thirty-five."

This is the number the girl counts before going to bed.

To be honest.

There is no point in remembering this number.

When the next night came, the girl could not remember which stars she had counted, so she had to start counting from the beginning.

But since she asked Xu Xi so much, Xu Xi just took note of it.

"Strange, is this an illusion?"

"I always feel that there are two stars that are particularly bright tonight."

Xu Xi raised his head.

He discovered that in the vast starry sky, there were two stars that were very close to each other and very bright, illuminating the dark road ahead for him and the girl.

…

[The battle is over]

You have won.

[This is an incredible feat, a victory that shattered everyone’s worldview]

[You led a group of peasants who knew nothing and knew nothing, and successfully broke through a barrier of Daqian and entered the interior of Daqian]

[On the road ahead, there are shining stars]

[Lighting up the thorny path ahead for you]

[You think, maybe this is the good luck brought to you by the silly star-counting girl]

[It would be better if the girl could be gentler. You carried her on your back all night and sighed deeply.]
