At this moment of silence, a burst of cheers suddenly erupted, Yue Lin was startled, and looked at the people around him for some reason, but only Qing Yuan's complaining voice and cheers were heard in his ears, and there was no superfluous explanation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Bai Ling happily shook her wings and landed, rubbing at Wu Chen and turning her head to rub more and more, it seemed that she had really not seen her for a long time, and she missed it very much.
That intimate appearance made Yue Lin feel that this snobbish bird had changed sex, and he was really in love with himself!
"Goo!" The little bald fur is back, and there is meat to eat! οΈΏ(οΏ£οΈΆοΏ£)οΈΏ
"Goo!" Never missed the little bald so much!
Qinghui landed on the ground, paced seriously in front of Yue Lin, rubbed his head against Yue Lin, and cooed twice, expressing his happiness and welcoming Yue Lin home.
Avoiding the cheering crowd, several people finally came to the hall of the City Lord's Mansion after a lot of hard work, the brazier in the hall had been lit, and familiar faces such as Wuyang Wugu appeared here one by one.
Wuyang smiled in his eyes, and Wugu Ze's face was swollen and tall, obviously he had just been taught a lesson by his father.
It only takes one look to understand each other's hearts.
Wuyang stepped forward to give his son a hug, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I have grown up, how is Carthage?" What does it look like? β
"It's beautiful, but I prefer Yanbei." Wu Chen didn't want to mention the unpleasant experiences there, he omitted those unpleasant things and said.
"Hahaha, I want to go once when I have the chance."
Wuyang laughed, grinning a lot, and a little bit of old naughty fun.
"There will be opportunities in the future." Yue Lin said with a smile.
Qingyuan coughed twice, blocking the middle between Wuyang and Wuchen.
"You're finally back, do you know how busy I am? And Lord Wuyang doesn't care about things at all, and that Red War is even more excessive! Qing Yuan chattered about what happened for a while, and glared at Yue Lin and Wu Chen after speaking.
Wuyang on the side looked embarrassed, touched his face, and turned his head not to look at Qingyuan.
Red Zhan looked indifferent, and his justification was even more reasonable.
Yue Lin and Wu Chen also spread their hands, and Yue Lin immediately looked so tired that he fainted, and said: "I just came back, I'm almost tired, I'll go back first!" β
After Yue Lin finished speaking, he raised his feet and left, leaving a back, Qing Yuan's face darkened, he had never seen such a brazen person.
Qing Yuan took a step forward, and just as he wanted to shout to stop Yue Lin, who was leaving, he saw Wu Chen, who was standing on the side, staring at him with a pair of eyes, like a knife, and immediately closed his mouth.
"Tell me if there's something I need to deal with, I'll do it."
Although Wu Chen was tired, he was in good spirits, and when he returned to his own place, he felt much more relaxed, and when he saw Qing Yuan's haggard face, he could only smile and say.
In fact, it is understandable, after all, not everyone has managed a city, not to mention that there may not be anyone in Yanbei City who knows more about the management procedures of this city than Qingyuan.
"Now there are many tribes joining Yanbei, there are other tribes in Jiuli, and of course there are some escaped slaves, which is why the number of you in Yanbei skyrockets as soon as you come back."
Wu Chen frowned, and asked incredulously, "Why did these people all come to Yanbei?" β
Qing Yuan sighed and said: "It's not because of the system of Yue Linwu, Yanbei is the only city in Zhongzhou that does not have slaves, except for Yanbei, whether it is a tribe, a city, or even the ancient country of Carthage, there are a huge number of slaves. β
"There are a lot of people, although I have temporarily arranged for them to live in the west, but it is not a way to go on like this, and you are not here, I dare not let them join Yanbei City without authorization."
"Personally, I think you can let them join Yanbei, you know that Yanbei is still too small as a city."
Qingyuan explained, Wu Chen's brows finally relaxed, and he said after a moment's silence: "Then let them join Yanbei." β
Only when the population base increases, can the city become strong.
Three days later β
Satisfied, the Wind Witch left Carthage, and through the demonstration method, the Wind Witch finally learned how to deliver the baby and stitch up the wound.
"I'm leaving." The Gale Witch nodded, and turned to leave accompanied by the Gale Warrior, but he didn't take a few steps......
Yue Lin looked at the Great Wind Witch who turned around and came back with a smile, and said, "Don't you want to leave again?" β
The Great Wind Witch shook his head, gritted his teeth and stared at Yue Lin, pulled Yue Lin to the corner, and said solemnly: "Be careful Wan Yi." β
"Why?" Yue Lin looked at the Great Wind Witch in surprise, and at this time, the Great Wind Witch had a serious expression on his face, and it was no joke.
"You have to believe me, he has a problem."
The chubby figure disappeared at one end of the horizon, without a trace.
Wan Yi? Yue Lin shook his head, he would rather believe that the young man, for whatever reason, the other party had saved his life, otherwise in Carthage, he and Wu Chen would have died.
The sky is blue, the wind is clear, and in the winding hills, there are high mountains, lush, birds and beasts in the woods, and from time to time one or two white rabbits run out of their nests in search of food.
The house is gorgeous and full of people.
Yue Lin and Wu Chen sat at the table, and a high voice sounded in their ears.
"The Carthaginian Civil War has begun, and I am afraid that this battle will continue for a long time, and I think you, like me, have already received the conscription of the ancient kingdom." Gouba's voice faded, but anyone could hear the worry in the man's words.
No one wants to join someone else's battle, but who dares to disobey the conscription of the ancient country?
If you don't obey, you will die.
There was silence in this hall, and Yue Lin didn't even know what to say, Carthage asked everyone to join the battle and recruit soldiers from the cities of Zhongzhou, not only because of the return of Wu Chan, but also because of the riots, under the tyranny of Carthage, riots broke out, and the three forces were arguing, but it was a tacit understanding between the Carthaginian nobles to recruit troops from Zhongzhou, and suppressing the rebellion was the first thing that Carthage needed to solve now.
"What are you going to do?"
Countless city lords all smiled bitterly and said, "What else can I do, who dares to disobey Carthage's call?" β
Yue Lin felt a headache, and Wu Chen on the side also closed his eyes in a little distress.
Back to Yanbei Cityββ
"Has it already been decided?" Yue Lin stared at Wu Chen.
Wu Chen shook his head with a smile, his heart was full of bitterness, but he couldn't speak: "Yue Lin, you know that we must participate, otherwise Carthage will turn its head and attack Yanbei." β
"When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow morning."
"Sleep."
Three months later β
It was a plain in the territory of Carthage, and the ground was full of corpses, full of vastness, and red in the midst of the snow.
The man covered in blood was fighting bloodily, he waved the bronze knife in his hand, the blood on his head spilled down his forehead, and there were two enemies on the opposite side, in the fight, the man seemed to have endless strength to fight.
There are thirteen people on the other side, and only by defeating these people can he be safe, he and his two comrades-in-arms meet back to back, he looks at these thirteen people with a deep groan, but at this time he is exhausted, there is no doubt that if he continues like this, he will die.
The sound of fighting, blood staining the snow-covered grass red.
"The fire of Yanyi is endless, burning the prairie in all directions." The man prays reverently, waving a weapon in his hand.
β¦β¦
With the howl of the vultures, the battle finally came to an end.
The rain was sliding down the cheeks of the three men, their eyes were red, maybe crying, maybe not.
"Wuchen, let's go home......"
Hei Yan stared at the silent plain, choked up and said to the man kneeling on the ground.
Mountains of corpses are piled up here, and flags stand in the air, standing in the cold wind, with the words - Carthage.
In the pile of corpses, there are many familiar appearances, which are used by Carthage as cannon fodder to resist the rebels - this is the role of the Zhongzhou soldiers.
Wu Chen, who was kneeling on the ground, was like a madman, he rushed to the flag, grabbed it fiercely, threw it on the ground, trampled on it, his eyes were red, his lips were white, and he was so angry that he could no longer speak.
"Let's go back, to his Carthage, to his ancient kingdom."
"Let them die!"
Chi Zhan could no longer hold back the grief in his heart, he roared and hissed......
"Let's go back!" Wu Chen let out a final roar in anger, and he walked without looking back, but because of the loss of his body, he was held by the two men beside him the moment he lost his balance.
Chi Zhan's dirty face was still mixed with mud and blood, he grabbed his old friend and asked with concern, "Wu Chen, are you okay?" β
Wu Chen shook his head tiredly, gritted his teeth but couldn't speak, he couldn't stand at all, he could only open his eyes and look straight at the sky.
Black Flame shook his head at Red Zhan.
How many days and nights has Wu Chen not slept in a row? Hei Yan smiled bitterly.
They charged for Carthage, but what did Carthage do to them? The Carthaginian soldiers lived in tents, but they kept warm by the fire in the snow and ice, the Carthaginians ate delicious food, and they ate rotten food that smelled like animals did not want to look at it, and the Carthaginians shot arrows in the rear while they charged in front.
Every trench was full of corpses of Zhongzhou people.
This war because of Carthage plunged Zhongzhou into mourning, and Zhongzhou people died in this war every moment.
The three of them seemed to be connected as one, and on this green and white land, facing the rain and snow in the sky, they walked forward.
The night is hazy, and in the snap of a finger, this land seems to be cut out of a ravine by a sharp blade, cutting through mountains and rivers, forcibly leaving a scar between this picturesque landscape, in the wolf-smoked Zhongzhou, Carthage, panic all day long.
In Yanbei City, lonely, the starry sky is twinkling with stars, the night is like thick silk, and the snow is falling, this city is lit with vast fireworks, and it is silent at the moment.
I had forgotten how many days and nights it was, but it was still as usual, and he came to the castle tower, looked at it, and looked forward to it, if he could see the person he wanted to see in this night.
Yue Lin stood on the city wall, staring into the distance, there was only endless darkness outside the city, and the silence in the city could occasionally hear the voices of patrol soldiers, everything seemed to be calm, but Yue Lin did not have a relaxed look on his face at this moment, even despair, blame this - damn war.
Someone?
The more Lin looked into the distance, under the quiet and peaceful night, the more Lin found the shadow of the torch outside the city, the more Lin frowned, but there were not many torches, not many people came, and the soldiers around him had raised their bows and arrows in their hands to shoot at any time, and the more Lin raised his hand and said: "Stop, wait for the other party to come over." β
"Wu Chen, we're here." Chi Zhan's voice was low, and he hurried back to Yanbei for several days, the three of them were already exhausted, and Chi Zhan looked at the city gate that had become taller and stronger, showing a heartfelt smile, and his face was much more relaxed.
"Let's go inside."
A voice sounded, Wu Chen looked at the familiar city, showed a long-lost smile, and said.
The three of them walked out of the grass and walked to the city gate, tilting their heads, and Chi Zhan hurriedly shouted: "Open the door quickly, I am Chi Zhan, we are back." β
Hearing this call, the people on the city tower were stunned, looking down, where are the three people below? can only be distinguished from the sound, it is indeed a red war.
The huge gate was lowered, and the iron gate slowly fell with the rope, and with a bang, the huge iron gate touched the opposite side of the moat, and the three of them supported each other into the gate.
Although Wu Chen was so dirty that he couldn't see his face clearly, Yue Lin still recognized Wu Chen at a glance, the tall man.
Yue Lin's hurried appearance looked at Wu Chen's eyes, he showed a smile, and wanted to reach out to hug the person in front of him, but his hand stopped in mid-air.
"Why did it stop? Shouldn't we hug when we meet? Yue Lin stared at the black and dirty man in front of him, who was worse than a beggar, and said teasingly.
Wu Chen was slightly stunned, "I'm afraid of soiling your clothes." β
"Wu Chen, do you know what I want to do now?"
"Huh?"
"I want to do that!" After Yue Lin finished speaking, he couldn't wait to hug the man in front of him who was dirty in every shape, put the whole person on each other's body, and then kissed the other party's chapped thin lips without mind, in this bleak cold wind, let the voice carry his thoughts with the wind, and told the man: "I miss you very much, are you okay in Carthage?" β
"It's not good, I watch my clansmen die every day, when we fight, we are always sent to the front to charge, and the five thousand people I brought with me, now only the three of us are back......"
Wu Chen hugged Yue Lin back, his voice was full of exhaustion, he didn't care about what he looked like now, he just wanted to hug Yue Lin, just like Yue Lin hugged himself.
Yue Lin had tears in his eyes, and when he saw the three of them return, he already knew that the others would probably never come back.
But when he heard the man say it with his own ears, his eyes were still red.
"I don't want to fight anymore." Wu Chen looked up at Yue Lin, and his serious appearance was in Yue Lin's eyes.
"I don't want to."
Yue Lin helped Wu Chen and walked in the direction of home, his thoughts covered him full, and he comforted the physically and mentally exhausted man to sleep, "Sleep, I'll accompany you." β
"I wish I could wake up in the morning and see you."
"I'll be there."
The two clasped their hands together, and Yue Lin showed a relieved smile, stroked the man's cheek, closed Wu Chen's eyes with his hand, and said, "Sleep well, I promise to stay by your side." β
The two people who snuggled together were like two trapped beasts, leaning on each other for warmth, and the snow outside the window fell, wrapping the earth in silver, and it was white, only snow-covered and a few footprints.
Ancient Carthage β
"My lord, in the last few battles, there have been too many casualties, and there are less than 10,000 soldiers in those Zhongzhou." The tall, yellow-haired and blue-eyed man knelt on one knee and reported the situation in the army to several nobles.
The Carthaginian rebellion continued to rise, and this rebellion intensified under the pressure, and the fire of the prairie was like a spring breeze, burning every corner of the entire ancient kingdom in a moment.
Bo Jilie narrowed his eyes and said, "Let the Zhongzhou people increase their troops." β
"Your Excellency's order has been given, but...... But there was one city that refused to send troops. β
"Who is so daring?"
"Yanbei City."
"Oh, that's the city." Bo Jilie sneered, he hadn't forgotten how he was reprimanded by Wan Yi when he was about to kill Yanbei Wu and Yanbei City Lord that day.
Wan Yi?
At the beginning of the Carthaginian War, it was nowhere to be seen.
Bo Jilie cursed in a low voice.
Yanbei β
In the midst of the commotion, the man representing Carthage walked into the city of Yanbei.
"Marshal Bo Jilie orders you to send troops to Hangu immediately." His voice was cold, and he still looked proud of his appearance.
"Get out of here! We won't have anyone going to Yanbei City! β
"Get out, get out! We don't go to war! β
Wu Chen stepped forward, stretched out his palm, and motioned for the people to stop their noise.
"Quiet."
"Why do you ask us to do this?" Wu Chen stared at the other party and asked coldly.
As an old acquaintance of Yue Lin and Wu Chen, Quint laughed and said: "I'm not here to ask you what to do, I'm just here to convey orders, if you don't obey, Carthage will come with an army, and what awaits you will be destruction." β
"No, I refuse, I don't want to continue the war that has nothing to do with us, and I don't want to see my people die in Carthage again, and all this is just to quell the rebellion under your tyranny!"
"Why did you involve us Zhongzhou people in your war?"
Quint just shook his head in the face of Wu Chen's questioning and said, "Don't try to reason with Carthage, you must know that Carthage is the truth." β
Under the snow, Yue Lin looked at the confrontation between the two, his body was cold, his heart was also cold, and the cold wind was blowing slowly.
I really can't fight anymore, too many people have died in Yanbei.
Wuyang craned his neck and said, "We will not join your war. β
"You're going to regret it."
