[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 296 [English]
byChapter 282, Wolf Eagle
At dawn, the fighting in the city had ceased.Because it had just rained, there was no dust in the air.Most of the palace was burned down. Shen Zechuan stepped through the ruins and could only see broken walls.
“It was arson in the palace,” Fei Sheng said with emotion as he followed Shen Zechuan, “… Mingli Hall was burned to ashes.”
“The empress refused to surrender and died for her country,” Shen Zechuan said. “The title of Emperor Sheng Yin should be mentioned on the Great Zhou Dynasty post.”
Fei Sheng longed to return to Qudu, but now that he is back, the sights he sees are unfamiliar, so it would be better to have a good time in Zhongbo.He held the knife, pushed aside the gravel in front of Shen Zechuan, and said: “She is a fierce woman.”
“Tell You Jing, Min Shen, and Cheng Feng to wait for orders.” Shen Zechuan stopped, “Isn’t Song Yue back?”
Fei Sheng looked in the direction of Mingli Hall, hesitated for a moment, and said, “…I’m back.”

Qiao Tianya was washing his hands, and his fingers were soaked in the copper basin, spreading out strands of red.The sword was still at his waist, but the hilt was so red that the original color could no longer be seen.
“The scorpions everywhere have been killed, a total of one hundred and forty-seven, of which the eunuchs are the main ones.” Ge Qingqing looked at the eunuchs’ waist cards, “The leader is called Fengquan, who replaced Pan Rugui after eight years in Xiande.”
Zhou Gui said horrified: “So many.”
Seeing Zhou Gui’s change of expression, Ge Qingqing couldn’t help but comforted him: “Now that the capital is surrounded by us, you don’t have to worry.”
While they were talking, Qiao Tianya had already washed his hands.He raised the door curtain and went downstairs while the sky was still not bright.
“If Fengquan can be captured alive…”
Kong Ling waved his hands silently, and Yu Xiaozai did not continue.Kong Ling looked at the still shaking door curtain and whispered: “Report the truth to the Lord.”
Before Qiao Tianya reached the tent, he heard Yao Wenyu coughing.He stood at the door and raised his hand, but did not open the door curtain.
Yao Wenyu folded the handkerchief, put it back in his sleeve, and said slowly: “The Lord is not back yet, come in.”
Qiao Tianya bent down and went in.
The brazier was out and it was a little cold inside the tent.Yao Wenyu was wearing a cloak and sitting on the bed, still holding a pen in her hand. After Qiao Tianya came in, she pushed the table away.
Qiao Tianya took off his boots by the couch against the morning light.He fell down silently, trapped in the narrow gap between the bed and the bed, resting on Yao Wenyu’s knees.The smell of medicine on Yao Wenyu’s body enveloped Qiao Tianya, and he closed his eyes as if he had slept many years ago.
Yao Wenyu covered the hilt of the sword with one hand and Qiao Tianya with the other.He’s wide sleeves covered the bed. In the subtle morning light, he lowered his head and looked at Qiao Tianya.
The incense on the table covered up the smell of blood, including Yao Wenyu’s and Qiao Tianya’s.
“I am on Bodhi Mountain,” Yao Wenyu stroked Qiao Tianya’s hair. “There is a courtyard where you can see the morning glow. After sunset, you can see the stars of thousands of lights in Qudu.”
Qiao Tianya seemed to see it.
Yao Wenyu turned his head slightly, looked at the thin window paper, and said, “Snow is coming.”
The flowers outside the window are dancing lightly.

Amul had a stone bead tied on his forehead and a simple scimitar on his waist.He leaned down with his burly body and picked up the red silk flowers on the ground for Duoerlan.he opened his palms, the silk flowers looked very much like real flowers, which Hasen had brought back from the border of Qidong.
Amul said: “Good girl, follow your father and return to the oasis.”
Duo’erlan took the silk flower with both hands, shook her head, and said, “I am Hasen’s wife, and I want to guard his father for the eagle.”
“He’s father is not old yet,” Amul straightened up and laughed heroically in the afterglow of the setting sun. “War is a man’s business. You let me have the bear warrior of Sukhba Beast. You have done a lot for the Viper Department. Good girl, silly girl, you are not only Hasen’s wife, but also the mother of his child. The pearl of the grassland should be riding by the Chiti Lake. The yellow sand here is not suitable for you, go back.”
Duo’erlan’s shoulders were trembling, and she was holding back tears, but her face was still wet.She held the silk flower and asked with sobs: “I heard the wolf king’s horn, I smelled his butcher knife…”
Amul lowered his big palm, covering Duo’erlan’s intentions, and said: “When Xiao Fangxu and I were born together in the embrace of Hongyan Mountain, it was destined that Viper and Libei would eventually have a winner. In decades of war, we lost our respective brothers and gave away our respective sons.”
The vicissitudes of his face are coated with golden light, and the afterglow is so dazzling that it seems to compete with the rising sun.
The news from Qudu has not come back, which means that Amul no longer has the advantage within the Great Zhou Dynasty.He missed too many opportunities. Without Hassen and without the Zhongbo supply line, the future of the Viper Division is obvious at a glance.
“My eagle flies over the snowy peaks of Libei, and his father will not give in before the sword of the new wolf king. We are the strongest among the twelve tribes, a strong tribe, with Russia, the Soviet Union and the sun. There are only heroes who die in battle, and no cowards who retreat.”
Outside the golden tent stood Bayin and the old wise man. The old wise man’s palms were full of wrinkles, he rubbed the withered yellow grass leaves and looked at the sunset in the distance.
Bayin held his precious book under his arm and asked, “Teacher, will we win?”
The old wise man didn’t answer.When Hazen left, he also knelt in the Tea Stone River and asked him, “Will I win?”The blades of grass in his palms were blown away by the wind and drifted into the distance.The snow-white beard and hair of the old wise man moved slightly in the wind, and he looked at the setting sun in silence until the sky darkened.
“The wolf is coming.”
So said the wise old man.
The strong wind swept across the rolling hills, and the yellow sand blew on the iron armor.The young wolf king held the knife in one hand and stood up slowly, firmly occupying everyone’s attention.The setting sun disappeared from behind him, replaced by countless iron cavalry.Standing fiercely on Xiao Chiye’s shoulder, his sharp eyes penetrated the strong wind, and he followed his master to the front.
Lang Tao Xuejin ran from behind and didn’t stop.Xiao Chiye got on his horse, flapped his wings fiercely, and followed Xiao Chiye.Xiao Chiye led the army with iron hooves, stepping on the yellow sand, like endless dark clouds, charging downwards in the dark night.

Bayin saw off Duo’erlan. He stood beside the carriage and gave Duo’erlan his treasured books.
Duo’erlan said: “I don’t know the character Da Zhou, so you can keep it.”
Bayin insisted on putting the book next to Duo’erlan’s knees and said, “Give it to Xiaoying.”
Duoerlan covered her belly, and the sheep behind the carriage kept bleating.She held the carriage, looked at the groups of tents, and said, “…the moon is too bright tonight.”
Bayin thought that Duo’erlan was worried about the difficulty of the return journey, so he smiled and said with relief: “Esu and Ri have greeted the tribes along the way. No one dares to hurt you if you bring warriors from the Bear Tribe with you.”
There was no smile on Duoerlan’s face, she looked like a withering flower.Bayin couldn’t guess what she was thinking. Even if he became a wise man, he would still be a stupid boy.
Bayin touched his withered pocket and found an old writing brush.He also put the pen on Duoerlan’s knees, maintaining a smile on his dark face, and said: “When you give birth to the eaglet safely next year, Ersuheri will take you back, and then you will be the most noble woman in the desert.”
Someone among the six tribes defected to Xiao Chiye, and the Viper Tribe’s status as the desert overlord was in name only. Bayin’s poor comfort could not cover up anything.
But this time Duoerlan tried hard to bend her eyes, as if she believed what Bayin said, and said: “If it is a boy, I will leave it to you to teach. I will return this book to you at that time.”
Bayin scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said, “If he is a boy, he must be as outstanding as an eagle. He is the best son in the desert, so he should ask his teacher and Ersuheri to teach him.” He smiled again, “Duo’erlan, let’s go, your father is still waiting for you.”
The people of the Hulu tribe were driving the sheep, which were their only remaining sheep, and wanted to return them to the oasis before the weather got worse.There are not many warriors with bears, but their bears and horses stand out among the ponies. Because they wear swords, they look extremely powerful.
Hu Lubu was familiar with the sand road. The leading man drove his horse forward, and the copper bell hung high on the flag sounded.Duo’erlan waved to Bayin as the carriage swayed.
Bayin chased a few steps and summoned up the courage to shout: “Duo’erlan!”
Duoerlan opened the car curtain and looked at him.
Bayin stopped, stood there, waved his hand again, and said nothing.
The dark sky enveloped the desert, and the falcon in the wind hovered over the rainbow eagle flag. The flag made a “whirring” sound, and the copper bell went farther and farther.Bayin took a few steps back, clenching his empty hands into fists, silently chanting victory, without looking back.
The moonlight is very thin and spreads under your feet, as if it will break if you step on it.The horse’s hoof sank and then suddenly left.
The old wise man threw the dead branches used for divination on his knees, folded his palms, lowered his head, and silently chanted to the god Chiti.
Bayin finally turned around and ran towards the old wise man, shouting: “Old…”
The falcon above the rainbow eagle flag was suddenly torn apart by Hai Dongqing who was rushing down at extremely fast speeds before he could react.He grabbed the remains of the falcon fiercely, flapped his wings in mid-air, and tore off the falcon’s feathers.
The incident happened so quickly that Bayin could not recover, and the noise of drinking and dining in the tents had not stopped yet.
“Wolf!” The viper cavalry on night patrol galloped on the sand, shouting at the top of their lungs in Biansha dialect, “raid——!”
The long knife slid out with a swipe, and the heavy armor knocked over the cavalryman from behind.The pony was helpless in front of the steel wave and was submerged in the blink of an eye.
Bayin froze on the spot.
The Libei Iron Cavalry should have just passed through Mosanchuan. It was reported that Xiao Chiye intended to block the exit of Mosanchuan, and the army had not arrived here yet.But the sudden change in front of him showed that Xiao Chiye not only came, but also chose to do it in the most direct way.
“Xiao, Xiao Chiye…” Bayin turned around suddenly and shouted, “The cavalry is attacking!”
The edge of the fence was knocked over by iron hoofs. The Biansha warriors who emerged from the tent had no time to mount their horses and ran into the iron cavalry with their machetes.
Xiao Chiye’s Wolf Saber was sturdy and strong, making it difficult for him to meet his opponent when chopping.Lang Tao Xuejin was the first to rush into the tent of the Snake Department, taking away several splatters of blood between his swords.
The head rolled down at Bayin’s feet. Bayin’s throat was blocked and he was already filled with panic.He saw a pair of hungry wolf eyes in the shadow of the sword.
Tooth for tooth.
Bayin backed away hastily, almost falling.
Xiao Chiye gasped lightly, raised the arm holding the knife, and wiped the blood from his cheek with the back of his hand.The smile he gradually revealed was extremely dangerous. After months of traveling long distances, he finally reached his destination.
“Amul——” Xiao Chiye raised his neck amidst the splashing blood and jumping firelight, his voice was like ice, “Where is he?”
The curtain of the golden tent was opened, the old scimitar slid out with a cold light in the moonlight, and Amul bent down and got out of the golden tent.He’s equally tall figure covered the sand and dust under his feet, as if he were the sea-fixing needle of the Viper.
Alone and circling, he was suddenly surrounded by hunting falcons. Xiao Chiye shook off the blood on the blade and heard the sound of war drums.
