A gust of north wind came, and there were clusters of snow on the trees.

Bao Feng seemed to be a little absent-minded, and his face showed an inexplicable desolation.

Years of wishing have been fulfilled, or it should be said that years of unyieldingness and anger have disappeared. Once a person's wish is fulfilled, it is easy to fall into this state of confusion.

He suddenly looked at the firewood shed next to the hut. A long gun stood quietly beside the firewood pile. He subconsciously walked over and reached out to gently touch the long gun.

After a while, he murmured: "When I left home, I took a hatchet with me. I was going to fight like crazy on the battlefield and show off the heroic spirit of the East Palace Guards..."

"That hatchet represents my anger and unyielding. I spent five years sharpening it. Day by day, day by day. Every time I pick it up, I think of those batches from back then.

The voice, appearance, and smile of my colleagues.”

"So when Li Shimin's call for war came, I left home without hesitation with my hatchet. At that moment, I had no intention of coming back alive..."

"Because I know very well that a hatchet is not a weapon after all, and as for me, Bao Feng, I am no longer the former leader of the East Palace Guards. If I go to the battlefield with a hatchet, I will probably be killed somewhere.

Died in a war."

"Even so, I am still determined."

"But I didn't expect that my hatchet couldn't be used at all."

"When I arrived at Zhechong Mansion, I quickly set off with my comrades to break camp. Every day was a rush march, and every day I was rushing..."

"It was a special military competition. All the soldiers in the world participated together, hundreds of thousands of people, competing for that glory."

"That day, we arrived at a place called Gujiacun."

"My colleagues are all ordinary people. They don't understand what Gujia Village represents, but I am different. I was once a soldier of the Prince of the East Palace. So I knew a long time ago that a relative of the emperor came out of Gujia Village.

"

"That person, he married Princess Pingyang of the Tang Dynasty."

"That man, he is the brother-in-law that His Royal Highness admires most."

"I have always wanted to see what kind of person he is, and want to find out why he is worthy of His Highness the Crown Prince's appreciation... As a result, I actually met him."

"I still remember that it was very cold and windy that day. He and Li Shimin stood in the snow, with a smile on his face, looking at the soldiers who kept coming. And behind him and Li Shimin, there were people all over the ground.

Flashing cold light.

"Those cold lights are countless ordnance, covering the road for more than three miles..."

"Swords, guns, armor, everything you need."

"But when he handed me a spear, I solemnly shook my head at him to express my refusal. He was obviously startled at that time, and Li Shimin, who was standing aside, was also startled."

"He is such a shrewd person. He guessed everything in just a few breaths. He looked at my hatchet thoughtfully, then smiled slightly at me and asked me:

Is it because you don't want to use the weapons I issued because you are reluctant to give up your hatchet? Then please allow me, Gu Tianya, to guess, does your hatchet have a special meaning?"

"Yes, it has special meaning!"

"I answered loudly at that time, and then shouted loudly. I didn't care at all that Li Shimin was next to me, and I didn't care whether the emperor would become angry. I shouted loudly, with a face full of defiance, and almost roared: I was once a guard of the Eastern Palace of the Tang Dynasty.

Shui, I will only recognize His Highness as one person in my life. Although I only have a hatchet left today, I will use this hatchet to show the bravery of Donggong Wei Shui. I want everyone in the world to know that Donggong Wei Shui will never be weak.

In Tiance Mansion..."

"He burst out laughing, laughing back and forth. He was holding the silver gun in his hand, and he didn't show any intention of taking it back. Instead, he looked at me with a mysterious face, and said to me with great interest: So it turns out

That's right, no wonder you can't let go of the hatchet."

"I solemnly replied to him: Although the quality of the hatchet is poor, it represents my ambition."

"He nodded and smiled very gently, but he raised doubts and asked me: But do you think you can really defeat the bravery of the East Palace Guards with a hatchet?"

"His inquiry made me fall into silence..."

"Just when I was silent, he suddenly laughed again and said to me: Use my spear instead. Take it to the battlefield to fulfill your wish. Among the millions of troops, fight for yours.

prestige."

"At that time, I was about to refuse again, but he suddenly looked serious and said solemnly: Don't refuse in a hurry. Wait until I find someone to persuade you. If he can't let you switch to a long gun, then I, Gu Tianya, promise to do it again.

Nothing to say."

"I was slightly startled, not understanding what he meant..."

"But I soon understood."

"It's His Highness, it's actually His Highness the Crown Prince. That day when the cold wind was howling, I looked at His Highness walking towards me with a dull expression on my face. I fell into a daze, as if I was in a dream. I couldn't believe it.

His Highness, who has been dead for three years, is still alive..."

"I heard Mr. Gu laughing and joking, seemingly telling His Highness about my situation, but Your Highness didn't listen to him at all. His Highness walked quickly to me."

"The first words His Highness said made me burst into tears."

"Bao Feng, my soldier brother, I didn't expect that after three years, you are still willing to fight for me, Li Jiancheng! I, Li Jiancheng, have a bunch of old brothers like you, I really deserve to be on this earth in this life..."

"Ahhhhh!"

"At that moment I burst into tears."

"I knelt down on one knee and held His Highness's thigh with both hands. I had countless things in my heart that I wanted to talk to His Highness."

"His Highness gently stroked the top of my head with his hand, his gentle movements were the same as before. Suddenly a spear appeared in front of my eyes, and then I heard His Highness' solemn voice...

"I just heard His Highness say: Bao Feng, my brother, please accept this spear and make it your weapon. Brother-in-law Gu told me that there is a soldier who is very strange and unwilling to accept the weapons he distributes to everyone.

, only willing to use his own hatchet, so Brother-in-law Gu asked me to persuade you, this strange soldier... Bao Feng, my good brother Li Jiancheng, can you tell my brother-in-law now whether you are willing to

Are you willing to accept this spear?"

"Accept, why not accept!"

"At that moment, I no longer refused, but took the spear with a solemn face. I still knelt on one knee, but I looked up to the sky and shouted: Your Highness personally gave the soldiers, Bao Feng will not move forward until the time comes.

When the Liaodong War begins, the final general will inevitably fall to the bloody bravery led by the East Palace Guards."

Amid the shouts, I stood with a gun in hand. At that moment, business was booming. I felt like I was exhaling and raising my eyebrows after three years of suffocation... One cannot live without a backbone, and my Bao Feng's backbone is back again. Your Highness, you are still alive!

I saw Mr. Gu walking up to His Highness, teasing His Highness with his unique warm laughter, and said, "Brother, you are so enviable. How many such loyal soldiers have there been in the past and present?"

I saw Li Shimin also walking up to His Highness. The Emperor was staring at me with a smile. Suddenly, the Emperor laughed and pointed at me and said: "You actually want to win my Tiance Mansion. That depends on whether you are really capable."

.Bao Feng, right? I will pay attention to you in the future. If you lose someone on the battlefield in Liaodong, then don’t blame me for pursuing your crime of rebellion today."

As the emperor spoke, he suddenly turned around, looked in the direction of a certain soldier camp, and suddenly shouted: "Cheng Shiqi, you are a soldier who came out of my Tiance Mansion, and the Bao Fengyishi in front of him was just a soldier at the beginning.

Bing, although he is just a small soldier, he challenged my Tiance Mansion..."

The emperor stopped talking, then shouted again, saying: "I am the emperor and I don't take advantage of others, so I will not send a general to compete with him. Instead, I will find a warrior of the same level as him. Cheng Shi

Seven, it’s up to you, I’m going to ask you now if you dare to compete with this Bao Feng.”

Amidst the emperor's loud shouts, I saw a general striding up to me.

He pointed at himself and solemnly introduced: "Three years ago, I was a soldier of Tiance Mansion."

Then he stretched out his hand and pointed at me again, and said with a solemn expression: "And you, Bao Feng, were soldiers led by the East Palace Guards three years ago."

I understand what he means.

So I smiled proudly and reached out to give him a high-five without fear.

The agreement for the competition was just established.

…

Time passed by half a month, and we, 300,000 soldiers from the government, gathered at the border.

One step forward is Liaodong, and not far behind you are the dark clouds.

The military camp was so big that it stretched for twenty miles. We practiced every day and worked hard with each other. At that time, everyone was thinking in their hearts that the war might not start until spring...

However, no one expected that the war would come so suddenly.

Nineteen scouts were trapped in Goguryeo. Following Cheng Shiqi's battalion of Jeju soldiers, they also set out to rescue people and fell in Goguryeo. Then, Chen Luo from Ganliang Road, and then the entire

The 72 battalions of the Tang West Road Fubing.

What a shame, Goguryeo took advantage of the large number of people to bully its comrades.

It's tolerable, but it's intolerable.

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin personally mounted a war horse and led the army to conquer the country.

As the eldest brother of the royal family, His Highness personally ascended the high platform to beat the expedition drum.

The cold wind was howling that day, but all we heard was the sound of drums filling the sky. I stood among the millions of coalition troops and looked towards the high platform, and vaguely saw His Highness, who was already in his forties, beating the drums hard...

Then, my blood was ignited.

…

"kill!"

What does it mean to be passionate and heroic, what does it mean to kill a general and capture the flag? It was me, the Bao Feng me at that moment.

It was snowing and cold, and the walls of the Goguryeo Imperial City were very slippery. Since this was already the last city, the enemy was aroused to a desperate spirit. They defended the city and fired arrows all over the sky. Our soldiers suffered heavy casualties, including countless
