A lonely city



An isolated city

Two days later, Luo Jin followed Chai Heng to the military camp in Qingjiangyuan.

This is the border between the two countries. Unlike the Sand City, this is an endless plain with a broad view. When Luo Jin came here, he heard that many battles had been fought here, and it was not an empty talk that loyal bones were buried everywhere in Qingjiangyuan.

The general guarding here was named Qiu Xue. Luo Jin had seen this name in novels. Although she had no sense of existence, it was when she saw this name that she realized that this world was different from the ancient world she lived in. This was not an ancient worldview of male superiority and female inferiority. There was no strict difference between women and men, and women could also join the army and become generals.

The subsequent plot also mentions the empress of a foreign country. The status of men and women here mainly depends on personal strength and family status.

Qiu Xue's father is also a general. She has loved martial arts since she was a child. She has a high level of martial arts. She became a general with her own ability and was deeply loved by the soldiers.

That night Qiu Xue arranged for Chai Heng and He Xiao to live in the men's camp, and let Luo Jin live with her in the women's camp.

"Are you... the lover of the second prince?" Qiu Xue asked.

Luo Jin, who was drinking tea, sneered, "Why can't I stay by his side with my own strength?"

Qiu Xue smiled and said, "If you really have personal strength, you will still be a palace maid? At least you will be a female official, right?"

Luo Jin: "What you said... makes sense, but I am indeed not anyone's lover, I am a mascot!"

Qiu Xue laughed, "Okay, a mascot is a mascot, it is also useful. Do you need someone to serve you as a mascot? Do you want me to find someone to get you hot water?"

"No, I can do it myself."

Luo Jin went to the barracks to get hot water to wash, and then went to sleep in the room Qiu Xue arranged for her.

Early the next morning, Luo Jin was awakened by the sound of military training in the barracks. Before daybreak, Qiu Xue was already practicing swordplay with her soldiers. She was dressed in armor, majestic and valiant, and her momentum was not inferior to He Xiao.

It was the first time for Luo Jin to see a real female general. She was not as delicate as those in TV dramas. Qiu Xue gave her the feeling of a strong person who could kill the enemy with one sword on the battlefield.

While Qiu Xue was resting, Luo Jin ran over and handed her a cup of tea, "Sister, have some tea, you've worked hard!"

Qiu Xue took the tea and raised the corners of her lips, "You don't have to please me. You and I won't see each other again after today. I'm just taking care of you as ordered."

Luo Jin sat down next to her and smiled, "I'm not trying to please you, I just feel very close to you, like your real sister. I don't have a sister, and I'm always envious of people who have sisters."

Qiu Xue picked up the tea and drank it all, then stood up and smiled, "You are really likable."

"Let's go!" Qiu Xue pointed in the direction of the stable, "I'll take you to see the horses."

"I... I can't ride a horse." Luo Jin stood up.

"It's okay. This is the second prince's favorite horse. It has a very gentle temperament. Even if you don't know how to ride a horse, you don't have to worry as long as you sit on it." Qiu Xue brought Luo Jin to the stable. After turning a few corners, there was a pure white horse at the back. The groom was carefully checking the saddle.

Qiu Xue patted the white horse's head gently. The white horse lowered its head gently, looking very well-behaved.

"The second prince never lets anyone touch his horse," Qiu Xue led the white horse over, "He is very good to you. Ride it and try it."

"I..." Luo Jin still didn't dare.

Qiu Xue came over and held Luo Jin's arm, "Don't worry, I'm here."

Luo Jin was more confident. He held Qiu Xue's arm and stepped on the stirrup to climb onto the horse.

Qiu Xue couldn't help laughing, "Your posture... haha..."

"Sister, stop laughing..."

"Hahahaha..."

Qiu Xue also climbed onto a black horse and turned to Luo Jin and said, "Just follow me, let's go! It's time."

Luo Jin lightly touched the reins, and the white horse moved forward obediently, which was more convenient than riding a bike.

Qiu Xue's army had already assembled. Tens of thousands of soldiers were wearing armor. The silver light reflected a huge light curtain under the sun. Luo Jin was dazzled at a glance.

The direction of the army was the border area five miles away. Chai Heng and He Xiao had already led people there waiting. Next to He Xiao stood Jiang Ge, who was dejected.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Jiang Ge looked much more haggard, with untidy beard and looked very decadent.

The army stopped a hundred meters away from the border, and the army of Dongyuan Kingdom gathered on the other side of the border at almost the same time.

Luo Jin followed He Xiao's gaze and recognized He Wenqian at a glance.

He Wenqian looked to be in his fifties, with all his hair turned white. He was dressed in cloth and his face was pale, but he was in good spirits.

Xia Wenxian stood next to He Wenqian, and Jiang Mo was arranged to a farther place. It was obvious that he did not want Jiang Mo to interfere in this matter.

Jiang Mo was wearing armor today, and he still had that expressionless look, as if he didn't care about anything around him, and he didn't even look at Jiang Ge.

Luo Jin was some distance away from Chai Heng and He Xiao. She saw He Xiao and Jiang Ge walking towards the middle of the two armies. Xia Wenxian also had someone lead He Wenqian towards them.

The combined forces of both sides numbered nearly 100,000 people, but the entire scene was silent, without even a cough.

Qiu Xue's expression was solemn. Her hand was on the sword, staring in the direction of He Xiao, as if ready to fight at any time. Although there was a high probability that they would not really fight, she was still prepared.

Luo Jin was concentrating on watching the exchange in the middle of the field. Suddenly, the white horse she was riding suddenly rushed forward and rushed towards the Dongyuan Army's camp like crazy.

Luo Jin was caught off guard and subconsciously grabbed the reins. She was led by the white horse to rush towards the East Abyss Army's formation.

The two armies were only two hundred meters apart, which was only a few seconds at the speed of the white horse.

The East Abyss Army was already on full alert. When they saw the enemy suddenly rushing towards them, they immediately raised their shields and raised their spears to meet the galloping white horses.

Luo Jin was completely unable to control the white horse. Seeing the spear getting closer and closer, she closed her eyes in fear. She

only thought in her heart that even if she was not the protagonist, she would not be... so unlucky! How come all the bad things happened to her?

The moment she approached the West Abyss Army, her waist suddenly tightened and her whole body flew up.

When she finally landed on the ground, she opened her eyes and found herself standing in front of the Xiyuan Army. She looked back and saw that the white horse had been pierced by countless spears and fell to the ground with blood all over the place.

Jiang Mo released his arm from her waist and frowned slightly, "What's wrong with you?"

"The horse...suddenly..." Luo Jin pointed at the white horse nervously and stammered, "I can't ride a horse...it...it..."

When Chai Heng saw the change, he immediately rode his horse and rushed over. He jumped off the horse and looked at Luo Jin nervously, "Are you...ok?"

"I...seem...still alive." Luo Jin lowered his head to look at his body and was indeed not injured.

"How could my horse..." Chai Heng's face still had a bit of panic that was hard to conceal, "Did you do anything? Did you pull its reins, or..."

"No, I didn't move at all." Luo Jin said, "I was just sitting there, my hands didn't even touch the reins, and it suddenly ran away, and I couldn't stop it."

"Then how could it be..."

Jiang Mo walked to the body of the white horse and took a look, then walked back and said, "Someone tampered with the horse. If it wasn't for this... mascot girl riding it and rushing in front of me, I'm afraid..."

Chai Heng's face changed color.

If he was riding this horse, then he was the one who rushed into the enemy camp unexpectedly just now!

The Xiyuan Army had been trained to raise their spears and fight in such a situation. The incident happened suddenly, and even if the commander saw it, it would be too late to stop it. He might have suffered the same fate as the white horse.

Jiang Mo's voice was cold, "If that were the case, the two armies would have gone to war right now, right?"

Chai Heng lowered his head and said nothing. He felt complicated.

As fate would have it, Luo Jin saved him again.

Qiu Xue also followed. She was just paying attention to what He Xiao was doing, and by the time she found out, it was too late.

She jumped off the horse and knelt down to plead guilty: "Your Highness, it is my fault. I am willing to accept the punishment!"

Chai Heng frowned and said: "Go back and check the groom... and everyone who has touched my horse. There must be spies in the barracks."

"Yes, sir!"

Jiang Mo shook his head and said: "I'm afraid he has already run away."

Qiu Xue gritted her teeth: "Even if he ran away, I will chase him to the ends of the earth and catch him back. Don't bother your Highness!"

"Let's go! This is not a place to stay for long." Chai Heng said.

Besides, this is in front of the Xiyuan army. It is not easy for a prince of the Dongyuan Kingdom and a general of the Dongyuan Kingdom to stay for long.

Jiang Mo didn't say anything and watched them leave.

[Just now... was it Jiang Mo who saved me? ]

[He seems to be quite strong, although I didn't see clearly. 】

【Jiang Ge's strength has greatly decreased now. Jiang Mo should... not have died in the decisive battle on New Year's Eve, right? 】

【I hope he can survive. 】

Jiang Mo's pupils suddenly contracted.

This voice...

...

The exchange ceremony was not affected. He Xiao took back He Wenqian and handed Jiang Ge to Xia Wenxian. Both sides retreated, returned to their own ranks, and withdrew their troops.

He Xiao sent He Wenqian back to the barracks and came to visit Luo Jin. He also saw what happened just now, but he was too busy to check it out.

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Luo Jin stretched out his arms, "Look, there's no injury."

Qiu Xue came in at this time, and when she saw He Xiao, she lowered her head and said, "I failed in my duty and let the groom run away. I have sent people to chase him."

She turned to Luo Jin again, "I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you."

Luo Jin waved his hands, "I'm fine, you don't have to be surprised. Isn't this good? No one was hurt, and the camp was found. "It's a good thing that you have done a good job!"

Qiu Xue shook her head, "It was my fault after all. I almost made a big mistake."

Luo Jin crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows and said, "You have apologized eight hundred times. Why don't you ask me to comfort you? That would be too miserable for me, right? If you have the time, why don't you... treat me to something delicious?"

Qiu Xue was startled, then smiled, "Okay!"
