"Shaoning"

"Ke Ran"

After a while of silence, the two spoke at the same time. Just shouting out each other's name seemed to exhaust all their courage, and what followed was the same silence as usual. The heavy friendship at Qingshan Academy and the various conflicts, misunderstandings, or confusions that they experienced later, got together at this time, made the two of them unable to say even one sentence.

"What are you two still standing there? If you don't leave, you plan to bury these Tang people with you!" Gu Hongxuan helped Yang Zhong and ran to the side of the ship while looking back at the deck. When he saw this, he found that these two living treasures were standing in place like fools, not talking or acting. He was so anxious that he could only shout loudly.

Before Gu Hongxuan's voice could completely land, the ship carrying gunpowder stone powder let out a wail, and then the fire that soared into the sky rushed towards the command ship. As soon as Gu Hongxuan and Yang Zhong jumped onto the ship next door, they were shocked to the ground by a violent vibration. Xuan Shaoning and Yan Keran, who were closer to the fire ship, were even worse. This time, countless sparks burst and rose up on the deck of the command ship.

Yan Keran had his back facing the fire ship, so he was even more shocked and fell to the deck. Xuan Shaoning, who also fell down, didn't care about embarrassment at this time. He stepped forward and helped Yan Keran up and ran towards Yang Zhong. While they were running, they heard crackling sounds behind them. When they jumped onto the temporarily safe ship, they turned back and saw that the command ship had been ignited, and the flames spread to the command ship at an extremely fast speed.

Xuan Shaoning caught a gray-white shadow jumping from the command ship to the ship where they were. It was just a glance of Xuan Shaoning that it was Shen Ming. Yan Keran also saw this scene. He suddenly remembered something that he wanted to jump up regardless of the fire on the command ship. Xuan Shaoning and Gu Hongxuan tried their best to hold him. Gu Hongxuan kept shouting: "Mr. Prince Concubine, what are you doing? Can you stop causing trouble?"

Yan Keran had already jumped onto the side of the ship, and as long as he rose again, he could return to the command ship, but in the end he was stopped by Xuan Shaoning and Gu Hongxuan. Yan Keran still wanted to struggle, but one person was not the opponent of the two, so he was pulled down forcibly.

"Snow ring! The snow ring is still on it! I can't ignore her!"

Hearing Yan Keran's crying, Xuan Shaoning recalled the times he saw Xue Huan. He still remembered that he was a well-behaved and aura woman. He had always been Yun Xuan's personal palace maid. He had had that past with Yun Xuan many times. But how could she appear here?

"Ke Ran, don't go, the whole ship is on fire, you are jumping into the fire pit!"

Yan Keran shook Xuan Shaoning's arm, stared at her blood-red eyes, and said, "I promised Xuehuan that she would definitely take her back to the palace. I broke my promise. You made me break my promise!"

"Snow Ring...

..She” Xuan Shaoning began to understand what Yan Keran meant. He turned his head in disbelief and looked at the angry ship. At this time, both the snow ring and the ship had become a sea of ​​fire.

Within this area of ​​ships, more than two ships were on fire. In fact, the ships around the outer periphery of the fleet began to catch fire. These ships were loaded with gunpowder stone powder. After Gu Hongxuan discovered the first one, he ordered people to look for the ships one by one and found that there was gunpowder stone powder and tried his best to ignite them.

Obviously, the soldiers of the Guangyuan Army did not disappoint Gu Hongxuan. Most of them succeeded. The entire circle of small ships outside the periphery began to catch fire. The only gap left was left. At this time, the wind began to blow in the river beside the capital. Moreover, the wind was northwest wind, which helped the fire. The strong wind blew the flames onto more ships, contaminating all the ships that were expected to escape the disaster.

When it was the hour of You, the wind became stronger and there was no sign of stopping or turning for a while. The sea of ​​fire in the sky engulfed all the fleets of Xia Tang. What a spectacular scene. Even the people in the city could see the fire outside the city as long as they stood high. The red flames could dye the sun red.

At the same time, in addition to the ships, there were also the navy soldiers in the Tang Dynasty. They saw that the enemy was defeated by themselves, but before they could celebrate, they found that they were surrounded by a sea of ​​fire. At the critical moment of life and death, these navy soldiers finally understood that the enemies were not defeated by themselves but had calculated that the fire was about to spread and slipped away in advance. Is it too late to wake up? The entire ship was surrounded by fire, and their chances of escaping were getting weaker and weaker.

Xuan Shaoning followed Yang Zhong and others onto small boats and headed towards Huazhou City on the other side. This was the content in the previous plan. Yang Zhong had already arranged a batch of small boats to wait not far from the fleet. Originally, these small boats were very small and not easy to find, and with these huge fleets of small boats, it seemed even more unworthy. Once the fire began to spread, the soldiers waiting on the small boats would immediately go forward to pick them up.

Yang Zhong tried his best to prepare as many small boats as possible, but he was still worried that the small boats were not enough. After all, there were more than 10,000 soldiers in the Guangyuan Army. However, when all the small boats were in place, Yang Zhong, who was standing on the small boat, realized that he was too optimistic about the situation of the battle. Twenty small boats originally needed to ferry back and forth a lot, but now it seems that only one is enough.

Xuan Shaoning stood on a boat and looked around and found that there were not many martial arts guards who could come back alive. More people had already sacrificed in this battle. The feeling of indebtedness and uneasiness surged into my heart again. I had seen life and death too many times. Xuan Shaoning originally thought he could adapt, but in the end he really happened in front of me again, only when he realized that he really couldn't adapt, could not adapt, and could not adapt. These are all living lives.

, It disappeared suddenly in front of you. How could anyone care about it?

When looking at Yan Keran, Xuan Shaoning thought he would definitely experience it the same way he did, but what he saw was not what he imagined. Yan Keran was also sad, but his sadness was more about Xue Huan's departure. As for the soldiers' deaths in battle, he didn't seem to care too much about them. If you want to talk about how to make such a determination, you can see the clues when you look at the behavior of the two:

Xuan Shaoning did not agree to retreat hastily. He wanted to stay there and wait for more martial arts guards to come here. Yan Keran did not agree with Xuan Shaoning's approach. It was too dangerous to stay here at this time. First, it might be discovered by the Tang Navy and then more battles occurred, and second, it would also have to face the threat of fire.

"When we came, there were more than 10,000 people. Now there are only such people. There must be someone rushing towards us!"

"This is how the war is. The plan is implemented as agreed upon! They missed the time to arrive at their destination and they had to bear the consequences themselves!"

"Ke Ran, you have changed!"

"It's not that I have changed, it's that you are obsessed with it! You will only suffer more casualties if you stay!"

"I'll let you go first, I'll come to the palace, I'll wait for them!"

"Do you still want to continue to be heroic? Your personal heroism should also look at the occasion!"

"Don't argue!" Yang Zhong shouted: "Retreat quickly as planned!"

Yan Keran took a last look at Xuan Shaoning and jumped onto another small boat. The twenty small boats immediately rowed towards the opposite bank. Xuan Shaoning clenched his fists tightly, but he knew that he must not expose his emotions now. He never expected that one day he would stand on the opposite side with Yan Keran and then have an argument.

Did I really do this wrong? This was taught to me by the Master. At that time, the Master said that war is just a tool. Only by controlling the tools can the greatest effect be achieved by those who are determined and determined. However, there is another crucial point among them, that is, the final bottom line of respect for life.

One hand was held outside Xuan Shaoning's fist. When he turned around, he saw Ji Wenhan. The boy stared at Xuan Shaoning with his unique clear eyes. He said nothing, but stood beside Xuan Shaoning, and then made his own judgment with a firm look.

Xuan Shaoning understood. At this moment, he relaxed, let go of his fist, held Ji Wenhan's hand with his backhand, and then finally threw a glance at the sea of ​​fire.

Duan Lang was greeted in Huazhou City. He also saw the sea of ​​fire. He could see Xuan Shaoning and others back alive, and his heart was completely let go. Duan Lang was busy sending the people who came back into Huazhou City. He did not expect to see Yan Keran. After hesitating for a while, he finally decided to say hello, but what he responded was Yan Keran's cold face.
