Gu Yun sat properly on his horse’s back and asked: “Is he still there?”

Shen Yi raised the Qian Li Yan in response and looked back: “Yes”

Gu Yun left the capital in a beautiful day, it was a rare occasion with sunlight spreading for tenAn led a hundred civil and ate, watching until the figures ofYan wang was the only one who had not left

He cliate and watched the figure of the Black Iron General withoutas if he would stand until the end of the earth and heaven

Gu Yun did not look back, but said to Shen Yi, “How far have we gone already? Even the Qian Li Yan should not be able to see clearly anyrily said, “If you thinkon ordering ain, other people would assuhness”

Gu Yun had prepared a handful of excuses: “You try to turn around when being wrapped in iron, soto reveal him

“Would I be already at that extent?” Gu Yun paused, then answered his own question: “Don’t use your eneral’s heart of mine that could contain thousands of shi+ps”

There was a saying: it takes a hundred days for bones to knit and tendons to heal Gu Yun was dug out of the heap of dead bodies Counting both when he was dead and alive, it had not been more than half a month Let alone an individual, even if the steel are, it would not be easy to be fixed this quickly When Gu Yun requested to go to the northwest, Yan wang had turned furious and almost quarreled with hi the half wit emperor, who ‘did not feed the cattle, but only let them work’, felt somewhat concerned

But at this tianize the Black Iron Camp

The Westerners were not able to encircle the capital In a half-dead state, they occupied the south of Changjiang They y left to take care of their poor allies The northwest side now had the allied troops of the Western Regions and Eighteen Tribes of Northern Man They could not be regarded as monolithic If they could reverse the war situation in the northwest and solve the hting the Westerners back to their hoo in person A thousand troops were easy to get, one general was hard to obtain

At last, Chen Qing Xu ca idea – to use a special steel plate produced at top speed by the Ling Shu Institute It could be tightly fastened on the body to secure Gu Yun’s bones that had not healed In this way, it was as if she had made a set of artificial steel bones and fra it on did not feel quite good, it guaranteed that he still appeared as if he could stillyou, Marshal, hurry and sink back your vast heart What are you going to do?”

Gu Yun concentrated on floating the boat in his heart, acting deaf and blind

Shen Yi saw that the ain He immediately took a deep breath and raised his voice He shouted: “I’ you Marshal, Yan… Hey!”

Gu Yun flipped his hand and gave hierously placed the Wind Slasher in front of his chest His eyes widened, continuously patting his chest “How dangerous, alrown angry froh Master Liao Chi is a spy of Dong Ying, but his sandalwood fart is not totally unreasonable I think your fate is truly sturdy, the Red Phoenix star could not fly even ings But now that it finally was able to take off for once, yet all you bu to someone ere born on unlucky day, whose fate counter their loved ones

the luckiest star in legends, in charge of the joyous occasion related to wedding

Gu Yun: “…”

Shen Yi pursed his lips, feeling that Gu Yun’s neck ht truly be difficult to twist, otherwise he would have rushed over to beat hi silent for a e of perishi+ng What else can we do? Being alive for another day is good enough, perhaps this body would one day be wrapped in horse leather What would be the point in thinking so much?”

Shen Yi frowned at his words He understood Gu Yun very well If Gu Yun truly had no feelings at all, he would have said it straight away There would never be any a to him, perhaps not uncertainty, it was better to say that his heart had already leaned towards one side It was only because of a few concerns that he temporarily had not expressed it outward yet

Shen Yi: “Hold on, Zi Xi, you wouldn’t…”

Gu Yun: “We are not speaking of this matter anymore”

Shen Yi: “That is your son!”

Gu Yun: “Would I still need to hear this nonsense frohtened, Gu Yun i this old reatly, but as soon as he was here, he felt that the man was too bothersome Gu Yun simply ushered his horse and rushed away from Shen Yi’s side He took out a white jade flute in his arms and started to play a choked up tune

No musical instrument could produce a decent sound in the hands of Gu Yun He was now fixed in between steel plates, there was not enough breath His voice was a little shaky The fingers on the flute’s holes were left running like a wild horse, the tune was all over the place, it should have sounded a

But at this time, the sound of the flute ept in the wind, wrapped in the sigh of the one departing fro into an unspeakable feeling of desolation No one was able to laugh

referring to the poe of Yuan’er on a Mission to Anxi” by wang Wei(701-761), translated by Bill Porter The full line is “West of Yang Pass there’s no one you know”, and it is a farewell poem, hence the unspeakable desolation

Gu Yun’s waist and back are fixed straight by Miss Chen’s steel plate – like a beaed Wind Slashers on his back… none of the the army listened to the flute echo far and near frolories of awards and nobility…”

“Talk not of the glories of awards and nobility,” Gu Yun flew past her, his next words coht as crystal ice in the jar of jade, ha ha ha”

Chen Qingxu: “…”

Being interrupted, she could not remember the second verse for a , The next verse was “A general’s victory is built upon ten thousand rotting bones”

fro This line has all along been considered a masterful line to express a pure and noble heart

Gu Yun marched like the wind With thethe off Having just left the territory of Zhili, they had already been attacked by taves of insurgent groups Neither one were large scale, scattering instantly, running away as soon as there was contact like several wild probing dogs

“Just after leaving the capital city, ere already being tailed” Shen Yi said to Gu Yun, “I had dealt with the and are familiar with the territory They would flee theto their opponent again It was very annoying I heard about the news of the seige in the capital when I cainess”

Gu Yun replied with an ‘ah’ and handed Shen Yi his Qian Li Yan “I’ist had studied for a few days”

Shen Yi: “What?”

Gu Yun: “I’ve heard that when pretending to retreat, it’s necessary to be in disorder, severing your own flags to trick the opponent into chasing after Unfortunately, those soldiers failed to grasp the spirit The flagpole was cut by themselves I saw it just now”
