In the middle of the night, Shen Yuexi went out to the lake where the black cavalry was defeated.

The Queen of Xiliang was afraid that she would not be safe alone, so she insisted on following.Shen Yuexi persuaded her that the enemy army was ready to move on the opposite side, and Mei Dai, as the commander, would easily cause the army's morale to be unstable if she left the camp, so she just asked Qiang Lin to lead a team of cavalry for protection.

Mei Dai felt that what she said was reasonable, so she stopped insisting.

Shen Yuexi came out of the camp, facing the sky full of stars, meandering towards the northeast, and came near the lake after a while.

This lake was not on the route of the battle between the two armies. Xiao Beiheng used a fake defeat to lure the black cavalry here before, so it was empty and there was no one guarding it.

"Qiang Lin, I'm going to pray for the fallen soldiers. This ceremony is very important. You stay here and don't go there." After speaking, Shen Yuexi patted Xiaobai's neck and walked towards the lake alone.

Qiang Lin and other Xirong cavalry originally believed in the gods. When Shen Yuexi mentioned the ceremony, they knew that they should not be disturbed, so they stood far away and waited.

The weather is cold, and a thin layer of ice has frozen on the surface of the lake. Compared with the snow around the lake, the ice surface reflects starlight, like a huge mirror.

Xiaobai stepped on the broken snow on the ground, came to the lake and stopped, Shen Yuexi jumped off the horse, walked to the edge of the lake and stood there, looking at the lake.

Just under this seemingly calm ice surface, thousands of soldiers and horses are sleeping.

"It takes ten months for a woman to give birth to a child." Shen Yuexi lowered her head and folded her hands together in front of her chest. "But only half a day of fighting can kill thousands of children and destroy thousands of families."

An inexplicable sadness passed through her heart, and she couldn't help asking: "Big bear, why do people like war?"

Big Bear's cheerful voice sounded in her mind: "Dear Master, Big Bear is here. May I ask what kind of things Master wants to make?"

Shen Yuexi smiled helplessly.The big bear is just a manufacturing machine, it is extremely powerful, but it has no emotions, and cannot understand the emotions of human beings.Even the voice of speaking is a perpetually cheerful tone.

She just kept talking to herself.

"Actually... the vast majority of people don't like war, but they have to sacrifice their lives for the few who like to kill. It is these few people who create wars and suffering for their own selfishness..."

Big Bear's cheerful voice sounded again: "Dear Master, the wars and sufferings you want to create are all abstract nouns, and Big Bear can't create them for you."

"To shut up."

Shen Yuexi interrupted Big Bear and knelt down on the ground.

This kneeling is to mourn for the soldiers who sank in the lake.

"There are [-] Xirong troops between us and Su Mo. If we don't defeat them, we can't save her. But if we want to kill those people, what's the difference between me and those who started the war."

She looked at the lake in silence, the night wind blowing on her cold face.Xiaobai also seemed to sense her mood, and rubbed his head on her back, as if to comfort her.

After a long time, Shen Yuexi said: "Big Bear, let's end this war. Those who should be punished are those who started the war, not these innocent people."

The Xirong cavalry in the distance saw Shen Yuexi kneeling on the edge of the lake, clasped hands as if praying, and were a little puzzled.

A cavalryman who had neither served as a secret guard nor experienced battle at Langya Pass couldn't understand, and said to Qiang Lin, "King Qiang Lin, before the war is over, Princess An came to worship on the battlefield, isn't it too early?" ?”

Qiang Lin said: "Concubine An is not an ordinary woman, she has reasons for everything she does. As long as we protect her well, we will go east with her when she goes east, and we will go west with her when she goes west."

At this time, a cavalryman pointed at Shen Yuexi and said, "Look, there is a wind blowing around Princess An."

Qiang Lin heard the sound and looked, and saw Shen Yuexi's hair and cloak flying violently.It was as if a strong wind surrounded her and swept away the snowflakes around her.Xiaobai's horse mane was blown to pieces, he ran away neighing for a distance, and raised his hooves to call at Shen Yuexi.

Everyone didn't know what happened, and they all looked dumbfounded.Qiang Lin wanted to go to help, but thought that this might be part of the ceremony, so he stopped again.

The strong wind blew a cup of tea before it stopped.Shen Yuexi stood up, called Xiaobai to get on the horse, galloped in front of everyone and said, "Let's go."

Qiang Lin said: "The ceremony is completed?" "It is completed." After Shen Yuexi finished speaking, he rode his horse first.

Since Shen Yuexi left first, everyone followed behind.Qiang Lin was dragged at the back, looking back at the lake while walking, and found that the huge mirror seemed to have disappeared.

He thought he was dazzled, so he squinted his eyes and took a closer look, then turned around and speeded up to catch up with Shen Yuexi and his party.

Back at the camp, Shen Yuexi found Mei Dai and Shen Lan.

"Two sisters, let's go to steal the camp. My sister has seen the sky, and the enemy's camp will encounter natural disasters tonight, which is suitable for us to attack."

Mei Dai was a little puzzled and asked, "Your sister can see the sky?"

Shen Lan said: "Queen, in the book of war, it is said that generals know astronomy first, and geography second. My sister thought that there would be thick fog when she was worshiping Xiushan before, so we escaped under the cover of thick fog."

Mei Dai was amazed, and immediately summoned the generals to arrange according to Shen Yuexi's plan.

In the middle of the night, Shen Yuexi rode out of the camp first, Qiang Lin, Geng Hong and other generals led their soldiers out of the camp, and went to the opposite camp of the Xirong Army.

The camp of King Doma's army was set up in a depression. Shen Yuexi rode his horse to the edge of the depression, looking at the overwhelming tents and bonfires dotted below.

"Bear, keep collecting."

"Dear master, the raw materials needed for the rainstorm are being collected...the progress is 99.9%, 100%."

The next moment, dark clouds emerged above Shen Yuexi's head, and the clouds and mist rolled and rushed, and they rose into the sky with their teeth and claws.After a while, it enveloped the entire camp.Lightning flashed in the seething black clouds, and thunder rumbled.

The entire Xirong army camp was awakened by this vision, and the soldiers went out of their tents to look at the sky and point their fingers.Many people's faces are full of surprise and disbelief.

The heavy rain poured down, like a whole lake suddenly fell from the sky.

Xiao Beiheng rushed out of the tent in a panic, and looked up at the dark cloud-rolling sky.

The cold rain curtain hurt his face.He couldn't believe what he saw for a moment, and stretched out his hand to confirm again.

Both the face and the hands were covered with bitingly cold rain.The bean-sized raindrops extinguished the bonfire one after another, until the fire was smashed to nothing but smoke.It hit the tent with a crackling sound.It hit the soldiers, making them soaked and cold.

In the severe winter that is coming to an end in December, there will be torrential rain.

"Could this be... God's punishment?" He turned his head to the sky, "Can't even God see it?"

The heavy rain fell from the third watch to the fourth watch, and all the bonfires for heating were extinguished.In the end, the heavy rain turned into hail again, smashing down on the entire camp.All the soldiers in the camp huddled in their tents and dared not come out.However, the accumulated water caused by the heavy rain poured into the tents, and the soldiers had to stand on a high place where everything could hide from the water.

In such a cold weather, all the bonfires for heating were extinguished. If they were soaked in ice water again, it would take less than half an hour for people to freeze to death.

Qiang Lin and Geng Hong didn't even need to lead their soldiers into the enemy camp.All they had to do was stand in a dry place and wait for the Western soldiers to come out knee-deep in water and surrender.

By noon the next day, nearly [-] Xirong troops had surrendered.In order to accept these prisoners, the Xiliang army prepared the most thing is a bonfire, in case someone freezes to death.

Everyone searched carefully in the stroke, but no one has found Xiao Beiheng's trace, so he must have escaped.

Mei Dai was very happy and immediately set up a big banquet to entertain the generals.Shen Yuexi looked at the sky at night and saw that there would be heavy rain, which was the first achievement.But she was pregnant and couldn't drink too much wine, she only drank half a glass.

Celebrate until the sun sets, and the rear army arrives with tigers squatting and cannons.Mei Dai took Shen Yuexi with one hand and Shen Lan with the other, and went to the back tent to discuss matters.

Taking advantage of the inattention of the surrounding people, a soldier of the Xiliang Army went around to the tent where Mei Dai and the three were, stepped on the edge of the box next to the tent, and climbed to the top of the tent.

He drew out his dagger and made a small opening on the top of the tent. The voices of the three women came out from the opening along with the light.

He looked in through the gap and found that Mei Dai, Shen Yuexi, and Shen Lan were all inside, so he slowly pulled out the Yan Que Sword from his waist.

As long as he jumped into the tent, he was sure to kill these three people in an instant, and they couldn't even yell.

Just as they were about to act, a group of Xiliang soldiers on patrol came over.He hurriedly leaned on the top of the tent, inserted the Yan Que sword back into the scabbard, and covered the light-transmitting gap with his palm.

The patrolling soldiers didn't notice him at the top of the tent, and gradually walked away.

He got up again and pulled out the Yan Que sword.The cold light of the blade shone in his eyes, which were burning with unwillingness and anger, reflecting a cold light.

Shen Yuexi's voice sounded: "Sister Mei, when are we going to chase after King Doma, I'm afraid he will run away."

Mei Dai said: "Sister, King Doma's cavalry has been lent to Xiao Beiheng. He only has infantry and cannot outrun ours. We will soon catch up with him and rescue Su Mo."

Shen Lan followed: "Sister, I know you are in a hurry to rescue Su Mo. It's just that we have too few people here, and it takes too much time to arrange so many prisoners. Qiang Lin and Geng Hong have been busy all day today."

The man on the top of the tent listened like a wooden sculpture, and slowly inserted the sword back into its sheath.

Shen Yuexi and the others were talking, when they suddenly heard a sound from the top of the tent, and they all looked up.

"Is it the wind?" Shen Yuexi asked.

Mei Dai saw the opening at the top of the tent, the cold wind was blowing in through the opening, her complexion changed, she walked out of the tent quickly, first looked at the top of the tent, there was no one there.Mei Dai looked around again, only to see groups of soldiers chatting and laughing as usual around the fire.

While she was thinking, Shen Yuexi and Shen Lan chased after her. Shen Lan asked, "Queen, what's the matter?"

"It's okay," Mei Dai said calmly, "The tent is damaged, I want to ask someone to repair it."

After finishing speaking, Mei Dai looked into the darkness and said in her heart: "Xiao Beiheng, you also want us to rescue Su Mo, right?"
