The night was as dark as ink, the starlight faint.
Deep night should have been silent.
However, Dongping Pass was plunged into chaos, with shouts of battle, the sound of war drums, and the clash of weapons intermingling.
“The Jin forces are coming on strong, tonight will probably be a bitter fight.”
“The soldiers defending the city during the day suffered heavy casualties. There are too few soldiers who can put on armor and go into battle at this time. Dongping Pass is probably…”
“Hold it to the death!”
The man at the head was eight feet tall, wearing armor, holding a long spear, his handsome face filled with determination and resolve:
“Dongping Pass must not be lost! Think of the people in the city, think of your families! Have you forgotten the people of Shuoguan who were slaughtered to the last person!”
How could the soldiers stationed on the border not know the insidious methods of the Jin Kingdom?
Hearing this, everyone’s faces showed a bit of determination, and they fought fiercely with the enemy troops regardless of their own safety.
“We swear to follow the General and defend Dongping Pass!”
However…
Because the court’s reinforcements and supplies had not arrived, the soldiers of Dongping Pass had not had a full meal for more than a month. Everyone was sallow and emaciated and injured, and their strength was far from that of the Jin Kingdom’s elite.
Therefore, even if they risked their lives, they were still increasingly at a disadvantage.
Si Hongjing waved his spear, and the enemy’s blood splattered everywhere, like a god of slaughter, but the people around him fell one by one, and he himself was stabbed by a blade and fell to the ground due to exhaustion.
Could it be…
Is he really going to die here today?
But Dongping Pass is the last line of defense of the Great Qian Dynasty. If it falls, the Jin Kingdom may soon be able to march straight to the imperial city and slaughter the people of the Great Qian. He… is not willing!
Just then—
A beam of strong light shot straight out from the city gate behind him.
The night instantly became as bright as day.
The Jin Kingdom’s elite were instantly exposed to everyone’s eyes as if they were naked.
Everyone was stunned.
Si Hongjing was the first to react and shouted:
“It’s a miracle!”
“God bless my Great Qian! Bless my Great Qian soldiers!”
He didn’t believe in gods or Buddhas.
But now Dongping Pass needs it to be a savior god or Buddha.
All the torches on the city wall paled in comparison to the strong light.
Like a blazing sun falling to the ground, dazzling and carrying absolute encouragement to the Great Qian soldiers, everyone shouted excitedly.
But the Jin Kingdom’s elite were like deflated balls.
At midnight, the tower of Dongping Pass was as bright as day. What else could it be but a miracle? They were going to be punished by God!
“Withdraw!”
“Withdraw quickly!”
“It’s a divine descent, run!”
The Jin Kingdom’s elite, who had originally wanted to severely damage the Great Qian army, fled in panic like stray dogs, and were in a state of panic for the next period of time.
Si Hongjing stopped a few soldiers who wanted to pursue.
The others had already knelt on the ground, looking at the beam of light that had saved them from the fire, devout and solemn:
“Thank you, immortal, for saving our lives!”
“Thank you, immortal, for blessing my Great Qian soldiers!”
Si Hongjing also bowed respectfully to the source of light:
“May I ask…”
Just as he opened his mouth, the entire Dongping Pass suddenly plunged into darkness.
The god just disappeared.
Everyone looked at the place blankly, feeling lost.
Only Si Hongjing still stared at that place, inexplicably feeling that someone was manipulating everything behind the scenes, but he didn’t know what the person’s intention was.
He held up the torch next to him and cautiously stepped to the place where the ‘god’ had just appeared.
Sure enough, he saw a pair of slightly smaller footprints.
It was a person.
But Si Hongjing silently erased the traces, and didn’t mention a word about the truth.
As he said, the current Dongping Pass needs the existence of ‘god’.
As for whether it is a person or a god, it doesn’t matter.
Because of the appearance of ‘god’ tonight, the Jin Kingdom should be somewhat afraid, and it should be able to give Dongping Pass a little breathing space in a short time.
Si Hongjing simply treated his wounds, and then discussed tactics with the battalion and generals overnight, redeployed defenses, and dealt with affairs in the camp.
Tonight, a scout reported that the Jin Kingdom had decided to attack Dongping Pass strongly in five days.
How to break the predicament is imminent.
…
On the other side.
Yuan Ying rushed into the living room, frantically locked the doors and windows, and then hid in her room, cowering in the corner, her chest heaving violently, and her eyes dizzy.
Did… did she just see a ghost?
But if it was a ghost, it was too real!
The magnificent and tragic war scene was more real than the ancient costume dramas she had filmed.
She was just carrying a strong flashlight given by her best friend to walk the night road in the village to go home, and she saw the scene just now when she opened the courtyard door.
Could those people see her? They also knelt down to her and called her an immortal?
So they shouldn’t be ghosts?
Then… did she transmigrate!?
Yuan Ying trembled and picked up her mobile phone to search for countless topics related to time travel, but found nothing.
Until the sky was hazy and about to dawn, and the sound of roosters crowing, she was still cowering in the corner without any sleepiness.
Click.
The sound of the door lock turning.
Yuan Ying trembled instantly, clenched the electric baton in the female defense gift bag sent by her best friend, and looked fearful.
In the next instant, she met a pair of eyes that were equally full of vigilance and tension.
The person who came was wearing armor, which was stained with blood, as if he had just gone through a fight.
“It’s you?”
Yuan Ying remembered this person.
Because his armor style was different from others, she was so scared that she stood still and only saw him at the time.
“Where is this? Do you know me?” Si Hongjing looked around at this completely unfamiliar place, his eyes full of vigilance, and his slender fingers clenched a dagger.
The woman in front of him was too strange.
She had a beautiful appearance, skin as white as snow, and red, seductive lips, wearing… a small shirt that exposed a lot of skin, definitely not the dress of a Great Qian woman.
When Yuan Ying saw his movements, she wanted to retreat, but behind her was the wall, and the person was in front of her. It seemed useless to call the police.
She could only pick up the flashlight by the bed and shake it, reminding him in a low voice:
“We just met.”
Seeing the person showing hesitation, Yuan Ying silently turned on the flashlight.
The strong light almost blinded Si Hongjing’s eyes, and also instantly made him know Yuan Ying’s identity.
Unexpectedly, the strong light came from this device.
His guard slowly faded, he re-inserted the dagger into its sheath, and bowed to Yuan Ying again, his tone solemn:
“Thank you, girl, for saving my life.”
Yuan Ying turned off the flashlight and continued to observe the man while maintaining a safe distance.
He has a handsome face, regular features, and his eyes are like eagles with a fierce aura, definitely not an ordinary person.
“Who are you? Where did you come from?” she asked.
“My name is Si Hongjing. Just now, I returned to the mansion and pushed open the door of my bedroom, and suddenly came here.” Si Hongjing lowered his eyes, avoiding Yuan Ying’s gaze.
Door?
Yuan Ying instantly captured the keyword.
She also pushed the door and traveled to the battlefield just now.
But when will the door become a medium for time travel?
Yuan Ying suppressed her doubts and continued to question Si Hongjing.
Perhaps because she helped them out of trouble, Si Hongjing was very cooperative.
He is from Daqian.
A dynasty more than a thousand years ago.
Is a general guarding the border.
“Why did you kneel down and thank me?”
“…”
What answered her was silence.
She raised her head in confusion, but saw the man’s mountain-like body suddenly fell down, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
