Su Duhan's bones were fragmented, the flushing on his cheeks had not yet receded, and his cheekbones were even more bulging.

Seeing that the master's belt was getting wider, how could Ugin be willing to leave? He said, "When the master is older, is it better for the slave to go again?" Leaving you here alone, the minion is really not at ease. ”

"It's okay", Su Duhan smiled lightly, signaling him to rest assured, and beckoned him again, signaling him to come closer.

Gently covering his lips to Ugin's ear, Su Duhan whispered in a low voice: "It is true that the customs are unable to make ends meet, and it is still uncertain whether they can survive this winter." Everything is cut off from food and grass, and it can be imagined that these 30,000 people are such a bloody scene, and those war horses will bear the brunt of the disaster. Rather than wait until then, plan ahead. ”

Su Duhan wants to take advantage of these days to run out of the pass and send Ugin and Moli out of Jingtang Pass forever. Fighting the war horse that had been with him since he was young, from the imperial city to the border city together, and experiencing the tragic scene of the avalanche at the Black Mountain Pass together, he could not bear to wait until the last moment to send it on the road helplessly.

I once heard my father tell me that in the past, when the first emperor was fighting the country, there was a time when the troops he led were surrounded by the enemy. At that time, the grain and grass were exhausted, and at first the soldiers gnawed on the bark of grass roots, and then they had no choice but to kill the war horses that got along day and night to continue their lives, but fortunately they waited for reinforcements.

Su Rui said at the time that he always remembered the scene when the war horses were dying with tears but were unusually quiet. The parting between life and death is not purely between people.

Facing Su Duhan's description, Ugin was shocked to hear it, his lips trembled, and he couldn't even speak: "Fruit... If so, my lord... Why don't you come with us? ”

"The world is so big, where is there a place for me?" Su Duhan laughed self-deprecatingly, and threw his purse into Ugin's arms: "I don't need you to be foolish here, help me raise the snow well, it is your reward for me." ”

Ugin gritted his teeth and remained silent, but tears fell in his eyes, and his shoulders shook.

Su Duhan slapped him on the shoulder: "After following me for a long time, don't be such a little family." Your master and I have seven tricks in my heart, and I don't die so easily, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to protect you when the time comes. You take Mo Li to find a safe place to settle down, so that I don't have to tie my hands and feet. ”

Ugin tearfully agreed, reluctantly looked at Su Duhan and said, "Young master, I will settle near the border city, you must come to find us." ”

Su Duhan smiled lightly: "Don't worry, I will never break my word." ”

The sky was bright, and Su Duhan didn't have much appetite. He had a plate of pickles, and only used a bowl of millet porridge simmered in the stove by Ugin on the stove, then put down his chopsticks and ordered Ugin to pull Mo Li out.

I said hello to Su Guangfu, only saying that Guanzhong was bored and wanted to take a walk around. Su Guangfu was speechless to dissuade, so he had to suppress the worry in his heart and said earnestly: "You haven't recovered yet, don't run too far, just take Ugin around the grove outside the pass." ”

"Twilight Han knows, Ugin and I will go to the forest for a walk, and rush back to Guanzhong before lunch, Mr. don't worry", Su Duhan and Su Guangfu talked, it was rare to be calm today, and there was a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth.

Su Guangfu's heart warmed, and he straightened his cloak for Su Duhan, looking at the somewhat haggard face of the young man in front of him, sad and helpless, mixed with thousands of emotions surging like a tide.

He suppressed the pain in his heart and waved his hand to Su Duhan gently: "Go early and come back early, I'll wait for you to have lunch together." ”

Su Duhan nodded with a smile, took the order arrow from Tong Dahai, and watched the suspension bridge hanging high in front of the city gate fall heavily.

On the city wall, Su Guangfu has been standing with his hands covered. Looking at the two people who were drifting apart, he was worried for a while, and there was a trace of loss in his heart.

The idea of keeping Su Duhan and not allowing him to leave the customs turned around for thousands of times, but he could never exit, so he could only watch his figure gradually disappear from sight. If Su Duhan really chooses to say goodbye in this way, he actually has no confidence to find Su Duhan back in the past, let alone talk about the great cause of Kuang Fuzhou.

The red sun is rising, and after a night of autumn rain, the sky is extraordinarily high. In the blue sky, a group of geese lined up in the clouds, flapped their wings and flew south. The autumn light was brilliant and bright, sprinkled on the high city gate tower, Su Guangfu was wrapped in a thick cloak, but he felt a tremble on his body.

He stroked the bluestone battlements on the city wall, his eyes drifted into the distance, his ears seemed to hear the gentle flow of the hourglass, the time passed minute by minute, and the cold sweat gradually wet his clothes.

The breeze came slowly, Su Guangfu was silent, and suddenly came back to his senses. Stunned, he asked the soldiers guarding the city walls, "What time is it?" ”

The soldier saluted respectfully and replied, "Mr. Hui Guangfu, it is the end of the hour, and it will be noon in a quarter of an hour." Su Guangfu nodded slowly, still standing on the city wall, looking at the empty land in front of the pass without blinking.

Since the two horses of Su Duhan and Ugin were dusted away in the morning, there is now silence in front of the pass, and there is no more than half a figure, quiet as if suffocating.

The shadow of the sun gradually shifted eastward, almost hanging in the sky. In Su Guangfu's more and more frequent interrogations, the time quietly moved from the end of the hour to the noon, and then from the o'clock to the noon, and still did not see the return of the two running horses.

Su Guangfu's heart sank inch by inch, and the feeling of helplessness spread throughout his body again.

He shifted his stiff steps and tried to step down the wall, but at this moment he heard the faint sound of horses' hooves coming from far and near, and the long neighing of Moli sounded like a heavenly sound. Su Guangfu suddenly turned around, and the land outside was already a piece of flying dust, and the two horses were chasing one after the other, running towards the pass.

As if a drowning man grabbed a straw, and it seemed that a person walking in the desert suddenly saw the oasis, Su Guangfu's strength that had just been taken away returned to his body in an instant, he waved his hand, and loudly ordered the soldiers guarding the city: "Quickly release the drawbridge and welcome the master back to the city." ”

Mo Li rose lightly from the suspension bridge, carrying Su Duhan into the city gate steadily, and Ugin followed closely behind, the horse's hooves swaying all the way to the smoke. The two did not slow down, but went straight to the barracks.

Su Guangfu's lips grinned slightly, and he didn't know what kind of smile he was showing. He felt a cold back, and quietly wiped his hand, his clothes were already warm.

This half day is like a year, and I was already sure that Su Duhan would say goodbye without saying goodbye, but I didn't expect this stubborn young man to return to the city. Just like a dream, Su Guangfu felt that he was a soldier again.

has betrayed his relatives and left, even if this young man is determined to abandon him, with the world's greatness, where is his place?
