Among the mountains of mountains, hundreds of tents were built in a hidden valley. Looking around, you can see thousands of soldiers wearing black iron armor back and forth, hurrying to sort out various supplies.

The climate in the mountains and forests is humid and hot, and the weather is even more volatile. Most of the soldiers here come from the Middle Earth, so naturally they cannot withstand this strange climate change. Therefore, many people cannot afford to get sick within a few days after entering the forest.

"Damn it, this ghost weather." At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it seemed that it would rain rain at any time. In the middle of the many tents, a curse came from a Red and Black Army tent that looked much larger than other tents.

In the Red and Black Army tent, a burly soldier with dark skin looked up at the sky outside and couldn't help but curse. At the bottom of the tent, there was a bluestone, and a broken map was spread out on the bluestone. A man with a naked upper body was holding a candlelight in his right hand and carefully checking the direction where he could break through. His left shoulder was wrapped in a white bandage, and there were also bright red in the bandage, as if he had just suffered a lot of trauma. He was Gongzichu, the lord general of this southern expedition.

"Reported, our army participated in the breakout just now, 13,000 people were injured, 3,258 people were killed, and 635 people died. General Zhao was unfortunately killed during the breakout." A soldier entered the tent to report military information.

Gongzichu raised his head, and his face was covered with blood stains with a little heartache, but his eyes were still firm. This was his third time breaking through this week. In just one week, their number dropped sharply from 60,000 when he first entered the forest to less than 10,000 now. General Zhao was his left vanguard, which can be said to be his right-hand man. Now the continuous defeats have made the people in the army unstable. If this continues, the entire army will probably be wiped out in this forest.

Looking back three years ago, I led an army of 200,000 elites and set out from Yangcheng in a mighty manner. I was imposing along the way, overcoming all obstacles and vowed to complete the entrusted lords of the Prince's family, assist the young king, and pacify the Southern Barbarians. I originally thought that victory was in sight, and as long as I passed this forest, I could directly attack the barbarians' nests and achieve the final victory. However, the heavens were not as good as people's calculations. The important combat plan two months ago was leaked, and the entire army was severely damaged by the enemy. In a hurry, Prince Chucai led the remaining troops to hide in this forest.

"When will reinforcements arrive?" Young Master Chu looked at the big man who was cursing at the beginning. He was his right forward Tu Gang.

"The messenger has set out for five days, and there is no news in Yangcheng." Tu Gang replied. This is the third time they sent the ninth messenger out, and he is also like a mud bull entering the sea, with no news. He guessed that the messenger this time might have been blocked and died. His throat moved, and Tu Gang finally did not express his thoughts.

How could Gongzichu not know? He pondered for a moment, as if he was making a decision. Finally, he said to Tu Gang: "Send the order to let the remaining brothers rest as soon as possible, put on light clothes, throw away unnecessary armor on the spot, bring all the dry food, and make the final breakthrough the night after tomorrow."

Looking at Tu Gang's figure, the young master slowly walked to the stone bench to sit down. The arrow wound on his left shoulder made him gasp. He was much more serious than he looked. He carefully found a light red jade pendant from the soft armor on the stone table. He rubbed it carefully for a long time. Looking at the words Yun Yao on the jade pendant, he said with tears in his eyes: "Yun Yao, I'm sorry."

···

More than a month after Gongzi Chu was defeated and died, in an official residence with a mourning banner in Yangcheng, a young woman in plain clothes and pale face looked at the relics of Gongzi Chu who had just been sent, and her heart was like a knife cut.

The woman stroked the bronze sword that was still cold, picked up the broken armor covered with blood, carefully hugged it in her arms, and murmured softly: "Wait for me, Yun Yao will come here to accompany you now."

···

Han Ke woke up from the sofa first. He looked at the time and had been unconscious for about half an hour. Not only did he forget the dream he just had, but he was clearly imprinted in his mind, just like, as if he had experienced it himself. He finally figured out the secret of the jade pendant. This should be the love between the general and the woman in the dream. But, what does this have to do with him?

After waiting for about ten minutes, Alina woke up in a daze. She rubbed her head involuntarily. Han Ke, who was beside her, said, "You dream too?"

Alina was a little surprised, and calmed down and said, "I probably know the origin of these two children's jade pendants."

At night, Han Ke saw the bronze ancient sword again. Since he and Alina were unconscious and had both had that strange dream, they seemed to have become tacit understanding. Alina called Mike to send the ancient sword over. They now knew the origin of this ancient sword, which was the sword of the fallen general Gongzi Chu in the dream, and seemed to have a different emotion towards the ancient sword. Alina was even considering whether to buy the ancient sword.

Mike sent the sword and left. It seemed that Mike and Alina had a good relationship, at least they trusted her very much. Otherwise, it would be impossible to take out hundreds of millions of things casually.

Mao Xiaohong and Han Ke also asked him to follow Mike back to the hotel. This guy stood outside and was bored and wanted to leave early. However, when he left, he did wink at Han Ke secretly, with a slightly raised corner of his mouth, and a wicked smile appeared.

Only Han Ke, Alina, and the ancient sword were left in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

"Mickey said this sword is not good, it's weird." Alina said, approaching the ancient sword, while speaking, reaching out to touch the sword body.

"Don't touch it," Han Ke said in a panic.

"There are unclean things in this sword." Han Ke could only say this. He could not tell Alina that there were two soul powers sealed here. After that, Han Ke thought of a way, which might be useful.

"Give me your jade pendant," Han Ke took out his jade pendant with Yun Yao engraved and said.

Han Ke remembered the light red streaming light and the strange pattern when he combined the two jade pendants, so he guessed that he would use this piece of jade pendant to try out what the ancient sword would react.

Sure enough, when Han Ke approached the bronze ancient sword with the patchwork jade pendant, the ancient sword seemed to be stimulated. A light red light quickly emitted all over his body, flowing rapidly, and becoming more and more prosperous, and finally expanding until Han Ke and Alina's bodies included.

At the moment when the red light was at its peak, two rays of gray-white spiritual power penetrated into Han Ke and Alina, and both of them were shocked.

At this moment, Alina in Han Ke's eyes, Han Ke in Alina's eyes suddenly became the owner of the two half jade pendants, Yun Yao and Gongzi Chu. The lovers who had been separated for many years were able to meet again at this moment. Alina looked at Han Ke with beautiful eyes affectionately, and the green onion jade fingers slowly stroked Han Ke's cheek, and murmured: "Chulang, Yun Yao finally waited for you."

Han Ke was also full of affection. He held Alina's beautiful face with rain with trembling hands, and his soft lips kissed the crystal tears that were about to fall. Against the backdrop of the red light, the two bodies quickly merged into this warm atmosphere, releasing the passionate emotions that had been suppressed for thousands of years.
