"Loulan Kingdom has a good relationship with the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and there is also the invincible Iron Cavalry of the Loulan in the desert. No matter which country it is, it has to think twice before taking Loulan. Even if he is lucky, it will hurt his muscles and bones. The desert is changing and there are tigers and wolves. From any aspect, starting a war with Loulan is a way of inferiority, and he will make wedding dresses for others." Dugu Jue analyzed, and then said, "This Jingjue Kingdom rose overnight, swept across all directions, and became a towering giant today. The king of the country is a hero and has great talent. Even if he has the strength to swallow Loulan, Loulan is adjacent to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. The prosperous Tang Dynasty will definitely not stand by. No matter how powerful Jingjue is, he will naturally be at a disadvantage compared to the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He will not understand this principle. Therefore, no matter how you look at a war, it is a bit inexplicable!"

"Isn't that true!" Feng Guitong shook her head and smiled bitterly, "If you can turn swords into jade and silk, why not do it? It's just that the army of Jingzuo is approaching, and I, Loulan, can't let the meat of mermaids!"

"Well!" Dugu Jue touched his nose, pondered for a moment, and asked, "The conditions for withdrawing troops from Jingjue Country are only given to hand over the queen?"

Feng Guitong turned around and looked at Jing Qiuhuang who was talking to Qin Xuan. Jing Qiuhuang felt something and turned around and looked at him. The two looked at each other and smiled. Feng Guitong turned around, sighed and said, "That's it!"

"Did Your Majesty know that the king of Jingjue Kingdom?" Dugu Jue asked.

"The rise of Jingjue Kingdom has only been more than twenty years since it was now, and three emperors have been replaced during this period. The emperors in power are extremely mysterious. Except for close ministers and close friends, few people have seen them, so there is little information, and even their age is not known." Feng Guitong shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I really feel guilty when I go to war with such a mysterious king!"

"Ha!" Dugu Jue smiled, "How much time is left?"

"This Jingjue Kingdom is patient and has given three months to consider, no more or less, just one month left!"

"One month!" Dugu Jue paced back and forth, "Today is August 13th. Is September 13th in one month? What's the special thing about that day?"

"So it's this time!" Feng Guitong suddenly realized, turned to look at Jing Qiuhuang, and said with a wry smile, "September thirteenth is not a special day, but September twelveth is Qiuhuang's birthday. This is to let Qiuhuang celebrate her last birthday in Loulan! It turns out that Jingjue really came to Qiuhuang! Haha!"

August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival.

There was no Mid-Autumn Festival in Loulan. Because it was adjacent to the prosperous Tang Dynasty and had traded, it learned some things from the prosperous Tang Dynasty. This Mid-Autumn Festival is one of them. There are also many eating moon cakes, drinking osmanthus wine, watching the moon, guessing riddles, and playing sky lanterns.

It was night, the full moon was in the sky, the lights were bright in Loulan City, and people came and went on the streets, which were very lively, without the tension of the overwhelming army.

Feng Guitong and Jing Qiuhuang put on masks and walked in front of him, while Dugu Jue and Qin Xuan followed him not far away.

"Dugu, look!" Qin Xuan put on a mask, in the fox style, which was given to her by Dugu Jue at the Lantern Festival that year.

"You actually brought this!" Dugu Jue said with a smile.

"Hehe, I like it more!" When she left home, she was rummaging through the boxes and punching the cabinet. She didn't know what to bring. She picked and chose, took it out and put it back. She was hesitant. Instead, she had to carry this mask with her, and she was even more afraid of being crushed and wrapped tightly.

"Let's follow up first!" Feng Guitong and Jing Qiuhuang had stopped, as if waiting for the two of them.

"Sir, please accompany you to beg Huang to wait here. I'll buy something!" Feng Guitong squeezed into the crowd. There was a group of people around him who seemed unintentional, but in fact they were following him quietly, and they were undoubtedly guarding him.

"What do you need to buy in person?" Dugu Jue asked.

"He!" Jing Qiuhuang smiled, "There is a cake shop nearby. His osmanthus mooncakes are very delicious. I like to eat them since I was a child, so he wrote them down. He would buy some for me every Mid-Autumn Festival. He said that only by choosing them myself can you know which ones are roasted today. Only freshly roasted have the best taste!"

"I'm interested!"

Feng Guitong is picky and chooses, and there is no place where an emperor should look like. She is just an ordinary person who deals with daily life and food, rice, oil and salt.

"Don't worry, you're all baked today, so you don't have to pick it up!" The owner of the cake shop twitched. Although the guest was wearing a mask, he was unstoppable. He looked like a person with status and status, and he was the one he dared not offend. He could only watch him toss and turn around and ruin a few from time to time, which really hurt him.

"Don't try to fool me. I discovered it last year or the year before yesterday. There are a few that taste bad. You will know that it was not roasted on the same day!" Feng Guitong didn't raise her head and continued to pick.

The owner of the cake shop was furious and dared not speak out, so he had to instruct his subordinates to do some more.

"Can you help me pick up a few of them? I have always bought them and eaten them. I don't want to have such a trick!"

Feng Guitong turned around and saw a handsome man in black clothes. His eyes were particularly beautiful and he was looking at him with a smile. Next to him, there was a pale but always smiling man sitting on a wooden wheelchair with a thick blanket on his knees, as if he was extremely afraid of the cold. The two were Jing Qingluan and Yuanhe, but they didn't expect that they would actually come to Loulan City.

"Okay! I'll choose it, I'll help you!" Feng Guitong continued to pick and talk to Jing Qingluan. "I didn't expect that Brother Tai is also a person who knows the goods. His osmanthus mooncakes are soft in the mouth, sweet but not greasy, and have a fragrant mouth and a great taste. If I hadn't told me, I would have almost missed the delicious food in this world! I wonder if Brother Tai was eating it myself or buying it to give gifts?"

"Eat it yourself!" Jing Qingluan said with a smile, "I was a child and my sister who would come here to buy some every Mid-Autumn Festival. I would go back with my grandmother, enjoying the moon while eating osmanthus mooncakes. At that time, I thought that this was the best thing in the world!"

"At that time?" Feng Guitong was puzzled, "Brother, have you been away from home for many years?"

"It's been more than ten years, and things will change when you come back!" Jing Qingluan said.

"Well, sorry!" Feng Guitong had already selected it for him and handed the mooncake to the boss to weigh it.

"It's okay!" Jing Qingluan said with a smile.

"Meeting is fate, I'll treat you this!" Feng Guitong put down a silver ingot, the amount far exceeding two bags of osmanthus mooncakes. "Boss, count it together, and take the rest as compensation!" Then Feng Guitong turned around and said goodbye to Jing Qingluan and Yuanhe, turned around and left.

"Ha! I've saved money!" Yuanhe smiled.

"This brother is too domineering, and he doesn't even give me the chance to refuse!" Jing Qingluan smiled helplessly.

Jing Qingluan kept watching Feng Guitong leave, and saw him giving osmanthus mooncakes to everyone like he offered treasures. One of them was a woman wearing a mask like him, showing her delicate lips and seductive lips, red lips and white teeth, and a charming smile. In a trance, there was a girl in her memory who would smile like this.

After taking the osmanthus mooncake handed over by the boss, Jing Qingluan stuffed it directly into Yuanhe's arms, then pushed the wheelchair and walked in the opposite direction from Feng Guitong and his group.

"Don't you want to see your sister?" Yuanhe asked.

"How can I not think about it? This Loulan City seems to be unprepared, but in fact it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and it is even more of a mechanism. Once it is activated, it is hard to escape. This is even more so in the palace. There are many masters, one whistle on three steps and one stairs for five steps, and it is difficult to find gaps. I have tried to sneak into the palace several times in the past two months, but I have never been able to do anything. Even if I have obtained the true teachings of a monk, I am several times stronger than ordinary warriors, but I am still a mortal fetus, for fear of being shocked by the enemy, and I can't help it. Besides, even if I see it, I am afraid that my sister will not recognize me. After all, I am a dead person, alas!" Jing Qingluan sighed.

"It's okay, when the Jingjue army breaks through the city wall of Loulan, it's when your brothers and sisters gather together!" Yuanhe said with a smile. Although she was still so weak, the emperor's natural aura was soaring into the sky.

Dugu Jue felt something and turned around and looked around, but the breath flashed by and the two of them had already left.

Jing Qiuhuang placed a plate with osmanthus mooncakes in front of two spirit cards, one was the mother of Qiuhuang, and the other was written with the words "Ming Qingluan's Spiritual Position".

"Mom, Qingluan, I bought you my favorite osmanthus mooncake!"

Countless sky lanterns slowly rise to the sky, carrying people's beautiful hopes, drifting further and further away, and it looks very beautiful.

Above the sand dunes, a black-clothed green phoenix stood in the wind, watching the sky lanterns rising in Loulan City, with a lot of thoughts, and took a bite of the osmanthus mooncake, the taste had not changed, but there was no more feeling.

"Sister! As soon as the birthday is over, I will take you away and never come back!"

Jing Qiuhuang served Feng Guitong, helped him put on golden armor, and transformed from a handsome young man into a majestic God of War. Jing Qiuhuang's hand was a little trembling, and he could not tie the strap no matter what, and even his vision was blurred. Feng Guitong held her hand and helped her tie the last strap. After the armor was dressed up, he hung the Yuehua sword representing the identity of King Loulan, and he was about to go to the killing field and lead thousands of Loulan Iron Cavalry to rush to the enemy formation.

"Gui Tong, why don't you give me over!" Jing Qiuhuang lowered her head and reached out to touch the cold armor, with a sound like thin silk.

"Queen Huang!" Feng Guitong held Jing Qiuhuang's hand, and there was a hint of displeasure between her eyebrows, but it was soon replaced by the tenderness that was so thick that it could not be melted. This is unknown how many times they have argued about this issue in the past few months, but today is definitely the last time, "I, Feng Guitong, love the country and love beauty more. Take one of the two, and look down on the country and value beauty!"

"Gui Tong!" Jing Qiuhuang hurriedly covered Feng Gui Tong's mouth, a little angry, "How can the two armies say this in front of the formation!"

"Ha! Isn't this a shame to the soldiers, so I personally took the lead in charge!" Feng Guitong said with a smile.

"When are you still talking like this? You..." Before Jing Qiuhuang could talk about playing, her lips were blocked, pouring all his tenderness into her, trying to get all her love, so fierce and so hot, like burning all the world-destroying fire.

Jing Qiuhuang was confused and wanted to respond wildly with his neck, but Feng Guitong gently pushed her away, took the sword, clamped her helmet, and walked out of the military tent without looking back. Two rows of warriors wearing heavy black armor followed one after another, heading towards the Loulan Iron Cavalry Formation, which was waiting for the battle.

"You must return safely! If you are not here...If you are not here..."

"Dong!Dong!" The war drums thundered.

"Woo——" the rhinoceros horn blew up.

Jing Qiuhuang collapsed to the ground and cried in tears. Looking back for more than ten years, this seemed to be the farthest time between the two, so far that they could never reach.

Qin Xuan looked inside outside the tent, wanting to go in, but not daring to go in, wanting to comfort her, but not knowing how to comfort her, so she had to hold Dugu Jue's hand, as if only in this way could she be at ease.

Feng Guitong rode a sweat-blooded horse covered with golden armor, walking in front of the formation, and looked at the army of hundreds of thousands of elite troops in the distance, as if there was a fierce tiger with eyes entrenched above it, staring at it. She thought to herself, no wonder she rose overnight and swept across the world in just a few years. The soldiers brought by fighting are really terrible.

"Ha!" Feng Guitong smiled, "But that's all!"

The most taboo is to fight protracted wars. The Jingjue Kingdom does not play according to the routine, but waits for three months. Not only does it consume food and grass, it has a great impact on the morale of the army. I don’t know what the Jingjue King sells in the gourd. However, now the arrow is on the string and has to be fired, and there is no need to care about so many. The soldiers come to block the water and soil. When you come, you kneel down and submit to the Iron Cavalry of Loulan.

Feng Guitong swept over the Loulan Iron Cavalry, neatly and uniformly, and still motionless; the black armor was thick and solid, like a black city wall, indestructible; the spear was inserted straight into the ground, the spear tip was sharp and unstoppable; the war horse under his crotch kept stepping on his hooves, breathing heavily, and then he wanted to gallop, but he was several times more anxious than a person.

"The army of Jingjue Kingdom is thousands of troops, are you afraid!" Feng Guitong suddenly asked loudly.

"Don't be afraid!" Without hesitation, the Loulan army replied in unison, shaking the fields, raising strong winds and flags.

"Ha!" Feng Guitong smiled and said, "It's right if you don't be afraid. It's for cowards and dead people. My children of Loulan have no word for fear in their bones!"

"Woo——" The horn of the army of Jingjue Kingdom suddenly remembered that the army set out and came towards Loulan.

"Ha! They were impatient to wait!" Feng Guitong sneered, Yuehua's sword was unsheathed, and pointed directly at the sky, "Loulan's children obeyed the order!"

"exist!"

"One day, Loulan's moat will be stepped by the enemy's iron hooves, but not today!

One day, the people of Loulan will fight to the last one, but not today!

One day, a huge fire in Loulan City will ignite for a long time, but not today!

Today, I, Feng Guitong, the second generation of monarch of Loulan,

Yuehua's sword was unsheathed, and the soldiers of Loulan,

For the sake of the people, for Loulan, and for glory!

We waved our long swords and fought against the enemy side by side!

The horn of Loulan will resound throughout the desert!

"Loulan Epic" will write a new chapter of the Loulan Iron Cavalry,

Wherever the iron hooves pass, no grass grows,

Wherever the iron hooves pass, they are invincible,

Wherever the iron hooves pass, all nations surrender,

The killing begins, let us drink all the blood of our souls, and let us fight to the end in the name of anger and destruction! Kill!"

"Kill!" The Iron Cavalry of Loulan pulled out his spear and raised it high, and the sound of killing shocked the sky.

The dragon's energy soared into the sky, a black dragon spiraled and winded, the wind and clouds changed color, and the sky was filled with thunder. The black dragon's eyes were red, and a long roar rushed towards the hung-eyed tiger.

Feng Guitong's war horse suddenly stood up and neighed. As soon as it landed, it rushed out, like an arrow from the string, unstoppable. The black iron cavalry spear behind her moved forward, following closely behind, like a black torrent, rushing away, raising yellow sand in the sky and thick dust rolling.
