Lord of Nine Stars

In the dark years, time seems particularly long.

Even so, June has arrived quietly.

Standing on guard duty on time has become the antidote for the soldiers. At least it lets them know that another three days have passed.

"Whoosh~" A snow arrow appeared quietly. The arrow was wrapped with rich soul power, tearing through the wind and snow, and shot down from the towering city wall of Wan'an Pass. Like a meteor chasing the moon, it was extremely fast and nailed a snow ghost. in the head.

"Promotion! Proficient in bow and arrow, two stars, high level!"

A piece of news came from the inner vision soul map. Rong Taotao pursed his lips and put down the snow longbow in his hand.

At this time, he had just begun to get a glimpse of his bow and arrow skills. He could already use the soul of snow to make bows and arrows, which would make future battles much easier.

"It seems that I am indeed suitable for practicing bow and arrow skills." Rong Taotao murmured to himself, looking at the snow ghost's body under the city wall with the help of the velvet cat's vision.

What's interesting is that when this group of snow corpses and snow ghosts saw a companion being shot through the head with a bow and arrow, they actually swarmed up and ate their former companions.

They are really a cruel and violent clan.

Beside her, Gao Lingwei stood with her hands behind her hands and heard Rong Taotao's soft whisper.

Unfortunately, the two of them only had one elvet cat, and Gao Lingwei could not see the results of Rong Taotao's hard training.

But Gao Lingwei has been watching his daily training.

For three full months, Gao Lingwei watched as the long bow in Rong Taotao's hand turned into a long bow made of snow, and she also watched as he became more and more skillful in drawing the bow and setting the arrow.

In three months, Rong Taotao has indeed grown a lot. He trained with bows and arrows while standing guard. Standing at the head of the majestic Wan'an Pass, the environment outside the wall became Rong Taotao's natural shooting range.

During the break, Rong Taotao would occasionally visit Xiao Ziru, but more often, he would go to the training ground with Gao Lingwei to compete hard.

Rong Taotao's Fang Tianji mastery has reached the six-star intermediate level, and it's time to add potential points. After all, the upper limit of the potential value of this skill is currently only six stars.

And his proficiency in swordsmanship has reached the four-star advanced level, making great progress.

As his sparring partner, Gao Lingwei also gained a lot.

The environment will indeed change a person. In these dark and difficult years, the two of them studied martial arts with an almost perfect attitude.

To be honest, not everyone can endure such extremely bad weather as a polar night blizzard.

Being exposed to the sun every day, people don't think anything of it, but if they really don't see the sun for several months, it's common for people to have psychological problems.

In this environment, Gao Lingwei and Rong Taotao regarded hard work as a good medicine to survive. They were extremely focused and made rapid progress.

What is even more gratifying is that Gao Lingwei has a vague feeling of breaking through the confinement of soul power.

If she breaks through again, she will be at the peak of Soul Captain.

Even a first-rate soul martial student can only reach the peak of soul captainship after four years of college.

Gao Lingwei met Rong Taotao halfway through her freshman year. She was only in the first half of her sophomore year and was already in the late stage of being a Soul Captain, and was about to break through her confinement.

It's scary to think about such a growth rate.

Since New Year's Eve, the two of them have been stationed at Wan'an Pass for four months. It can be said that they have been guarding every day, but it is better to say that it has been four months of experience.

It is not only a test of personal strength, but also a test of spiritual will.

However, this polar night blizzard was different from the last one. That time, the spirit beast army started a three-city battle, and the human side suffered countless losses.

But this time, except for Rong Taotao and others who encountered an army of soul beasts in Bailing Shunv Village, there was no trace of the army of soul beasts in the following days.

The facts were as Rong Taotao had guessed. There was nothing wrong with China's Three Walls, but something happened with the Russian Federation. It was said that it was a big deal.

"Let's go, it's time to change the guard." Behind him, Cheng Jiangjie's voice came. He seemed to have remembered something and added, "There will be a surprise when I go back."

"Oh?" Rong Taotao raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at Cheng Jiangjie.

Words like "surprise" are not very common in Wan'an Pass.

Rong Taotao looked at the soldiers from the city wall guard who came to take over the post, nodded in a friendly manner, followed Cheng Jiangjie, and said, "Is my brother here to bring me snacks again?"

Ever since Rong Taotao exploded the soul bead on his forehead in front of the Bolingshu women's formation, the two brothers had a period of "cold war".

But then, after Rong Taotao brought Xiao Ziru back, Rong Yang took the opportunity to visit Sanqiang on a mission to visit Rong Taotao in person.

That meeting was pretty good.

My brother didn't get too angry, he just warned me a little more.

It was also after that meeting that Rong Yang became Rong Taotao's logistics supply soldier. Rong Yang often traveled to and from Three Walls. Every time he settled in Wan'an Pass, he would bring a bag of snacks to Rong Taotao.

I remember one time, Rong Yang came with Fu Tiance. Fu Tiance glared at Rong Taotao and said: "I am leading a special team. They are all soldiers among soldiers, not logistics." , delivery person!”

At that time, Rong Taotao responded obediently with "Yeah, yeah". After Fu Tiance felt relieved, Rong Yang didn't waste time sending him off.

What to do!

My younger brother is howling with hunger. As an older brother, I can't just watch like this, right?

It is worth mentioning that Rong Taotao regained the forehead soul bead, and after acquiring Songxue's silent soul skill, he was spiritually connected to Rong Yang again.

However, the situation has completely changed by this time.

It is no longer Rong Yang who protects Rong Taotao unilaterally, but the two brothers protect each other.

For Rong Yang, who is in Team 12, the never-ending polar night blizzard has indeed made the danger level of his mission infinitely higher.

Rong Taotao is different. After all, there are a bunch of brothers standing on the wall, all of them are good players, and the army of soul beasts has moved to the territory of the Russian Federation, so he has become the relatively safe one.

"Brother, you brought me food again~" Rong Taotao communicated in his mind.

Rong Yang's gentle voice appeared in Rong Taotao's mind: "No, I'm on a mission, so don't disturb me."

Rong Taotao: "."

Good guy, my brother Yangyang talks like he was chatting on QQ in ancient times, right?

What's the surprise?

With random guesses in his mind, Rong Taotao also returned to the stone hut, but saw an incredible figure in the bedroom.

She has long shawl hair, a beige windbreaker, dark jeans, and dark boots.

Rong Taotao was very familiar with the urban beauty's back, especially the tips of her long hair, which were carefully curled.

"Sister-in-law is here?"

Rong Taotao spoke, with a smile on his face.

Visiting relatives or something like that is the happiest thing!

Eh? Where are the snacks she brought? Hidden?

Gao Lingwei also walked in, said hello, and found Yang Chunxi sitting at the only desk in the room. There were two certificates and two small red square boxes on the table.

"Have you received military honors again?" Yang Chunxi turned sideways, with a pair of beautiful eyes full of tenderness and admiration. He looked at the young man and woman at the door. The more he looked at them, the more he felt they were a perfect match.

The Qingshan Army's costumes are naturally exactly the same.

But in Yang Chunxi's eyes, the dark half-face mask and snow camouflage looked like a couple's costume.

"Military merit?" Rong Taotao pulled off half of his mask, stepped forward curiously, opened the small red square box, and saw a familiar badge.

"Obtained the Snow Burning Army's first-class Astrolabe Snowflake Medal, with a potential value of +10."

Rong Taotao:! ! !

At the desk, Yang Chunxi opened the certificate and muttered something: "Comrade Rong Taotao, for his bravery and tenacity in battle, for taking the initiative to protect his comrades, for completing combat missions with outstanding achievements, and for making major contributions, he will be recorded as a first-class astrolabe snowflake."

Rong Taotao looked happy, ah ~ I feel comfortable!

Cheng Jiangjie stood at the door of the dormitory, looking at Rong Taotao's happy appearance in the room, and said: "In special times, all rituals are simplified. This was a few months ago, when we and the Twelve Team escorted thousands of cypress tree girls back to Wanwan. Anguan, for his contribution in repelling the spirit beast army in that mission."

First-class · Astrolabe Snowflake Merit.

There's nothing wrong with that, everyone really had a narrow escape that time, and Rong Taotao really regarded death as if he were going home, and rushed towards the enemy's formation to bloom.

People always say that it is rare to see a living first-order snowflake in the astrolabe, and this is indeed the case.

In that war, if unplanned people had not come to support, I am afraid that all the Qingshan Army and the 12th Squadron, including Rong Taotao, would have died in the snow on that side, and their corpses would have been buried thirty kilometers away from Wan'an Pass. .

Cheng Jiangjie looked at Rong Taotao, his eyes full of gratitude. He knew in his heart who saved everyone.

Cheng Jiangjie continued: "I have already reported the mission of our Qingshan Army and Songhun teacher team to search and rescue Xiao Ziru. It will take some time to find out the specific situation."

"Yeah." Rong Taotao nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Captain Cheng."

"No, we should thank you." Cheng Jiangjie said with emotion, "You guys can chat without interrupting."

With that said, Cheng Jiangjie closed the bedroom door.

At the desk, Rong Taotao opened another certificate and saw Gao Lingwei's name. However, Gao Lingwei's medal was not the first-class Astrolabe Snowflake Medal, but the second-class Pine Needle Snowflake Medal.

Rong Taotao frowned slightly, for such a near-death mission, doesn't Dawei deserve an Astrolabe Snowflake Medal?

Is my personal performance too outstanding?

Dawei is also not afraid of life and death, not to mention that the velvet cat is still hers. Of course, this kind of "technical support" must also be counted on her head.

Rong Taotao was thinking secretly, but Gao Lingwei didn't have any other thoughts. She picked up the pine needle and snowflake medal, and her eyes showed joy.

She has a role model,

That was her father, Gao Qingchen, the old commander-in-chief of the Qingshan Army.

Growing up, she had seen her father's snow camouflage uniform covered with merit medals many times.

There is no doubt that she is one step closer to chasing her father at this time.

Her long fingers brushed over the delicate little pine needles. Rong Taotao looked at Gao Lingwei's admiring look and held back the words in his heart.

Rong Taotao held the small square box, turned to look at Yang Chunxi, and said: "During the changing of the guard, Captain Cheng told me that there would be a surprise when he came back, so..."

Rong Taotao looked at the inner soul map, and there was another snowflake medal in the upper right corner. He smiled and gestured to the small square box in his hand, and said: "Is it the surprise, or you?"

Yang Chunxi's eyes were bright and a smile bloomed on her face. She couldn't help but stretched out her palm and patted Rong Taotao's face gently: "The little mouth is so sweet."

Rong Taotao: "."

Yang Chunxi tilted his head and looked at Gao Lingwei and said, "In the past few months, have you been fooled by his sweet words?"

Gao Lingwei turned around and glared at Rong Taotao with a smile.

Rong Taotao scratched his head, smiled, and changed the subject: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing here? It's so dark, how dangerous is it to come here?"

Yang Chunxi: "I came with Jiao Li to take you back."

Rong Taotao: "Ah?"

Yang Chunxi nodded lightly: "Jiao Li is now at the Soldiers Medical Center to find Xia Fangran and Xiao Ziru. Principal Mei has already communicated with Xue Ranjun."

"This" Rong Taotao looked a little embarrassed. Xiao Ziru's condition has indeed improved a lot. Although he still speaks very little, he can at least communicate normally, and his "autism" is becoming less and less.

According to Dr. Cheng Qing, at this stage, Xiao Ziru should return to a familiar living environment and live with familiar friends and family, which will help him fully recover.

Yang Chunxi continued: "Songbai Town has taken Xiao Ziru's lover to the school and is waiting for his return, and you two"

Rong Taotao and Gao Lingwei looked at each other without saying anything.

Yang Chunxi: "It's already June, and the World Cup will start next month. You should also make some preparations and adjust your living conditions."

Rong Taotao endured it again and again, and said softly: "It's still dark now, and our comrades from the Qingshan Army are still guarding here. Let's just leave like this."

"I'm just afraid that I can't convince you, so Principal Mei asked me to come by name." Yang Chunxi sighed and said softly, "It's precisely because it's still dark here and the soldiers are still guarding, so you two have to go Participate.

Not only as a student, but also as a soldier guarding the Three Walls-Wan'an Pass, I participated in this World Cup.

Taotao, this world is not just this land. "

Rong Taotao pursed his lips but still did not speak.

Yang Chunxi's face became serious and he said in a deep voice: "Beyond the snow, there is China, where the sun still rises, the streets are bustling, and the wild birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

The Chinese people are also looking at our snowland, paying attention to our news every day, looking forward to daily peace, and also hoping that the land of snowland can one day survive this polar night blizzard. "

Yang Chunxi looked at the young man and woman in front of him and continued: "Under such a premise, two people with special status walked out of the snow to represent Songjiang Hunwu and Xueran Army to stand on the World Cup field. This That’s a powerful signal.”

Rong Taotao: "What?"

Yang Chunxi: "The snow is fine and the border is fine."

Rong Taotao opened his mouth slightly, never expecting that Yang Chunxi would say such a sentence.

Yang Chunxi said softly: "Not everyone has a special dual identity like you two, and not everyone is qualified to participate in the World Cup. You must cherish everything and make good use of it.

You two soldiers and students can show a spiritual outlook.

I can tell everyone in the world,

We are confident that we can overcome this long polar night snowstorm,

Just like we will stand in the center of the world stage and win the crown that symbolizes the highest honor. "

"Believe me, Taotao." After saying that, Yang Chunxi stood up, put a hand on Rong Taotao's head, and rubbed it gently, "Although you have left the snow realm, you can pass it on to China and the world. The information can inspire the Snow Realm soldiers far more than if you stay here."

Behind him, Gao Lingwei suddenly said: "It seems that there is another reason not to lose."

Thanks to Left Eye’s disaster-causing cuteness for the 50,000 reward! The boss is very generous, thank you for your support! Happy Lantern Festival~
