Chapter 138 Kill out of the bamboo sea
Don't touch my brothers, don't touch them! A hoarseness, Lin Maolin struggled under the hands of the giants, watching his brothers being slaughtered one by one, the brothers had no complaints, died peacefully under the enemy's butcher's knife, not a single tear fell, before dying, his eyes were still persistently looking at General Lin, General Lin's words came to their ears, they saw their generals suffer for the first time, in their eyes, their general is an invincible god of war, this is their belief, There is also an invisible power of the mind in front of the things they believe in, which is sometimes very strong and sometimes fragile, but in this strength and fragility, it is necessary for some kind of pioneer to show them the way forward, and only the pioneer can teach them and give them supreme strength.
There was more than one pioneer in this one, they were holding swords and rushed towards Lin Maolin and Dongyingren, they were fearless warriors, but, in the eyes of Shibasaki Sakurazawa, the lord of Dongying, they were a group of moths, a group of insects.
"Don't waste your efforts, it's impossible to break through the obstacles, I will show you the right way, as long as you take refuge in us to win, I can let you live." Shibasaki Sakurasawa stood on top of the altar and said with his hands behind his back.
Lin Maolin also wanted to know if this group of soldiers was really loyal to him, in the past, he was tall in their minds to attract so many people to come to take refuge, and now he was embarrassed by the enemy's infinite scenery, and it was natural to take refuge in the enemy.
The soldiers standing in place looked at each other, the soldiers who were cut by the bamboo leaves were struggling on the ground, they didn't know what to say, it's just that they have nothing to say now, whether it is anger or frustration, at the moment, there are thousands of twists and turns, is the face still the same?
The departure of brothers, the temptation of enemies, the collapse of backers, and this sea of bamboos full of dangers and traps, no one has the desire to survive? This is the struggle of survival and loyalty, although there is no flying sand and stones, no blood, no generosity, but this is also the most difficult, because the war without gunpowder is the most deadly, and it is the most critical, this is the power of thought, he is not like force, what is directly presented is killing, or death and slaughter, he is a kind of spiritual struggle, a soul contest. While they were still choosing, the soldiers on the ground who were not dead struggled to get up and said, "What are you that deserve us to surrender?" Pee and take care of yourself, a Dongying child, the Central Plains is not your territory, I am afraid that one day your fate will be the same as mine. ”
Shibasaki Sakurasawa laughed and said, "You said I would die a miserable death? You can be regarded as a man in such a situation, but it doesn't matter, you are not dead yet, then I will torture you to death in front of your brother, and let them see what happens to people like you who resist Dongying and the general trend! ”
"Hahaha, it's not going to end well, I... How can I stand it... You guys... ......" stammered, however, at this time he already had an extra war knife in his hand, and the war knife stretched out to his neck, and blood flowed out through the war knife, and the man died under the war knife.
Everyone looked at him, Lin Maolin struggled under the palm of the giant's hand, wailing, tears couldn't help but flow out, "Don't kill them, you are just a group of beasts, don't come over again, the power of the altar is not what you can suffer now, you are all my soldiers, you are all the people I guard, I want you to be happy and live happily, this is my greatest luxury." ”
The giant's palm was slightly stronger, and Lin Maolin just felt that his body was pressed heavily on the ground, his head, face was covered with dirt, and there was an altar paved with hard bluestone slabs.
"I told you, tell you not to move, talk nonsense, don't blame me for being ruthless if you do this again."
The giant's words were so firm and lifeless, Lin Maolin was like a lamb to the slaughter in his hands, and resistance was only exchanged for more painful torture.
"Don't hurt General Lin, we can do what you say, we just want General Lin to live well." The soldiers looked at the giant, his tall stature, and his strong strength, and as long as he exerted his strength, they believed that General Lin would be wiped out.
However, to their surprise, General Lin smiled.
Shibasaki Sakurasawa said: "It's really a brotherhood, I'm a little moved." Okay, if you are willing to die for General Lin, then are you willing to kill your closest brother for General Lin? You don't have to die, and your generals don't have to die. ”
The soldiers looked at each other, they didn't know what to do, now their generals were still in the hands of the enemy, it was almost impossible for them not to make any noise, looking at the five people on the field, thinking about it, the knives in their hands never moved, although they had to choose, but, these two choices were not what they wanted, of course they had to fight for themselves, looking at the soldiers on the ground, they were terrified and uneasy.
Lin Maolin laughed and said, "Okay, you and Shibasaki Sakurazawa, you want to use me to tease my soldiers to kill each other?" The idea is good, but your trick is unlikely to succeed. ”
Shibasaki Sakurasawa sneered: "Look at your current situation, what conspiracy do you still use to tease now?" Do you think you're going to survive? ”
Lin Maolin said: "This is also what I said, whether I can live or not is not a matter of your words, if you want to kill, kill it, anyway, my soldiers will not kill each other, everyone, dare to kill your brother." ”
Just as Lin Maolin spoke, one or two
The soldier flickered, then withdrew his knife.
Shibasaki Sakurazawa said: "You trust your general so much, then, I will kill your general first, I think you can endure it for how long?" The rule has been changed to just shoot at your brother to survive. ”
The giant said: "Command" and then his right hand was forced, only to see Lin Maolin under the impact of this huge force, only to feel pain all over his body, his head buzzed, just when the giant's arm stretched down, suddenly stopped in the air, Lin Maolin slowly opened his eyes, to his surprise, the giant was motionless, Lin Maolin gently moved the giant in front of him, and the giant fell to the ground with a bang.
The two guards retreated to the side of the Dongying County Lord, looking at all this in front of them, they showed surprise, I don't know why, they have lost the arrogance they had before, only to see a personable girl walk out, that's right, he is the Phantom Chime, just now, he heard the Phantom Chime teach him martial arts, and now he knows that it is not an illusion, this is true, the Phantom Chime is really beside him.
Just when the phantom spirit chime came over, another group of people also came out, led by the emperor Zhou Jingyang, who saw Zhou Jingyang with a kind face, and the one next to him was Kai Yin.
"Lin Maolin, long time no see, are you okay now? Nice to see you. Emperor Zhou spoke to Lin Maolin like a friend.
Seeing this, Shibasaki Sakurasawa ordered the two people next to him to make smoke, and then slipped away.
Kai Yin asked His Majesty, "Do you want to chase it?" ”
His Majesty replied: "No, this is their trap, we will still meet, it is estimated that they have escaped a hundred miles away now." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Cain said, standing motionless.
Lin Maolin said: "I'm sorry, I just forgot to reply to Your Majesty's words, I'm doing well, I don't know what Your Majesty is looking for me?" ”
Zhou Jingyang said: "Looking for you has other things, you are my general in the Central Plains, you have your own mission, and I have to find you here, the enemy has surrounded us to death, I was able to escape, all with the help of Phantom Chi and Kai Yin, I have gone through nine deaths, at this critical moment, I want you to escort me away." ”
Lin Maolin asked, "Where to go?" ”
Zhou Jingyang said: "Go to Luoyang, let's go to Luoyang." ”
Lin Maolin was puzzled and said, "What are you doing in Luoyang?" Didn't Luoyang fall? ”
Zhou Tianzi said: "The fall of Luoyang is the fall, but Luoyang is also the most deserving of the capture, their capture of Luoyang is the most stupid decision, as long as I can get to Luoyang, our army will be able to triumph." ”
Lin Maolin was puzzled and asked, "Is there anything important in Luoyang?" Why can we defeat the enemy? ”
Zhou Tianzi said: "General Lin doesn't know, this Luoyang is the root of the Central Plains, I do have a little selfishness in Chang'an, which has made me pay a heavy price, and now it's time to get it back." ”
Lin Maolin arched his hand and said: "I am willing to escort Your Majesty to Luoyang to ensure that Your Majesty is safe and sound." ”
Zhou Tianzi said: "The trip to Luoyang is full of dangers, General Lin must be prepared in his heart." ”
Lin Maolin said: "You can rest assured, although my army and I are not the strongest soldiers in the Central Plains, we will never let the enemy come in easily, we have no ability, only this kind of blood." ”
Phantom Spirit Chi nodded, obviously, they were able to save General Lin and the others just now, but they didn't do it, they didn't believe that this general and this group of soldiers, this can be regarded as a test. They passed the test, and they naturally had to believe them.
Phantom Chime said: "General Lin, you come with me, I have something to tell you." ”
Lin Maolin followed the phantom chime to a place where no one was around.
Phantom Chime said: "Do you know why I left you, originally I didn't want to, but I watched the stars at night and saw a meteor crumbling, which was very bad, and it happened that I just caught up, and this time it was an unexpected thing." It's just that Your Majesty is not so easy to save, and now many people should be concerned about Your Majesty's life and death, Dongying, Beidi, and many people with wolf ambitions, are you really willing? ”
Lin Maolin said: "Since you are here, then I can't say no, I am willing, but, what about General Leng?" ”
Phantom Spirit Qi said: "General Leng is resisting the enemy in the rear, we came over one step ahead, and we happened to meet you, which can be regarded as fate." I would like to ask you one more question, why are you here? ”
Lin Maolin said: "I came here because of the lord of Dongying County, Shibasaki Sakurazawa, he told me that His Majesty the Emperor asked me to come, if I don't come, Your Majesty will be in a different place, as a courtier, how can I ignore Your Majesty's life and death?" ”
Phantom Chime thought for a moment and said, "Is there something missing from you?" ”
Lin Maolin said: "Yes, it is a box, found on the bandit mountain, originally I saw that it was exquisite workmanship, so I collected it, now I can't think of it, there are thieves sneaking into my room to steal it, at first I also cared, but later, more and more people came, I felt strange, simply investigated, this box seems to be a little related to the secret of this bandit mountain, the enemy wants to get it in every possible way, maybe there is really a secret in the box." ”
Phantom Spirit Qi said: "It's not good, you came out this time, it is estimated that the bandit mountain is in danger." ”
Lin Maolin asked, "What is the danger?" When I came out, I had already told General Wu Cheng to let him manage the bandit mountain well, and
The little county lord is here, maybe your worries are unnecessary? ”
Phantom Chime nodded lightly and said, "Maybe, not the best." ”
"Why are you still here? The enemy has already been killed, hurry up and get out of here, this place can't stay for long. "A general came on a high-headed horse, Lin Maolin saw it very clearly, this person was Leng Yue chasing the wind, Leng Yue chasing the wind kneeling beside the emperor and said.
Lin Maolin and Phantom Spirit Chi walked out and said loudly, "Brothers, are you ready?" We're going to have a bad battle to fight, are you afraid? ””
The soldiers said in unison: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, kill the enemy to serve the country, kill the enemy to serve the country." ”
When Lin Maolin heard the soldiers say this, he was also happy in his heart, and said: "Brothers have worked hard, this time our purpose is not to kill the enemy and serve the country, our mission is to protect Your Majesty." Everyone obeyed the order, brought the quartermaster, and protected His Majesty and rushed back to Luoyang. ”
"Yes." The soldiers said in unison.
Lin Maolin came to General Leng and said, "Long time no see, are you okay?" ”
Leng Yue chased the wind and said: "I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm very happy to see you, and the important task of protecting Your Majesty has to be carried out by the general himself." ”
Lin Maolin and Leng Yue chased the wind and came to an affectionate hug, which was like an affectionate dialogue between brothers, and it also wanted to be a mutual blessing between comrades-in-arms. Lin Maolin felt a trace of regret and reluctance from this hug of Leng Yue chasing the wind, it seems that they have really experienced a lot this time, why did the phantom chime choose Leng Yue to accompany him, he didn't know this, but he could vaguely guess a thing or two.
Lin Maolin asked, "Leng Yue, you tell me honestly, what did the Phantom Chime bring you here?" ”
Leng Yue Chasing the Wind thought for a while, and said: "General Lin, you don't know, the Phantom Scholar brought me here, we have experienced a lot, after this time, I also know that I am not strong enough, I want to be as strong as him, protect the person I want to protect." ”
Lin Maolin seemed to feel something, he didn't say it explicitly, and after patting Leng Yue Chasing Wind on the shoulder, he came to the army and ordered: "Have you sorted out the military supplies, and set off when you are ready." ”
A soldier came to report and said, "General Lin, there are still some brothers' bodies that need to be buried, just wait for the things here to be done." ”
Lin Maolin said: "Where are they buried? Take me there. ”
"Yes, General." As he spoke, the soldier walked forward with Lin Maolin.
Coming to the depths of the bamboo forest, there was a clearing, on the open space a small earthen bag, a small plaque on the earthen bag, the plaque was written a soldier's name, Lin Maolin pulled a soldier and asked: "Why do you have to carve so carefully?" Isn't it good that the dead live forever in the hearts of those who live in the world? ”
I saw the soldier say: "General, do you know, I have been doing this for more than ten years, these soldiers have died, this is the only thing they have left in this world, I can't, I can't do it, I don't dare to care about their tombstones, little by little portrayal is the awe and remembrance of the living for the dead, this is what I can do, and it is also my duty." ”
Lin Maolin was moved, he came to these tombstones and knelt down, wailing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you, I took you out but didn't bring you back safely, I apologize to you, your relatives and brothers I will take care of them for you, as long as it is within my ability, I promise you, I will do it, I will ......"
When Lin Maolin spoke, his voice was a little hoarse, at this moment he was like a crying child, kneeling on the ground, tears couldn't stop flowing, playing together, accompaniing, every day spent together unconsciously appeared in front of him, every picture, every scene was vivid, he didn't know what to do, and he didn't know how to say, at this time, the most silent is the most common confession.
"Brothers, you are gone, but you will always live in my heart, and I love you as much as you love me."
"General Lin, what you said is a bit numb, I can't listen to it anymore." A man in the prime of life walked out, walking lightly, and acting with a righteous appearance.
Lin Maolin looked back and said: "Who do I think it is, it turned out to be Your Majesty, why did His Highness come over suddenly, and now I see it, this appearance to meet the Holy Lord, it is unseemly, I hope to forgive me, look at Haihan." ”
Zhou Jingyang smiled slightly and said: "General Lin is not polite, this is not a court, only the two of us know what to say, I came to pay silent tribute to my brothers just like you." ”
Lin Maolin wiped his tears and said, "Then I will thank Your Majesty for my brothers, they know that Your Majesty has come to see them, they will be very happy." ”
Zhou Jingyang knelt down and said: "You are all soldiers of the Central Plains, as the emperor of the Central Plains, it is my fault that I can't protect you, my people, my soldiers, the war has made you haggard, the war has hurt too many people, I can't give you peace, but I will work with you to help the Central Plains together, save the Central Plains court together, and restore unification." ”
Lin Maolin heard his words and comforted: "Your Majesty don't be sad, the situation in the Central Plains will definitely improve, and everyone and everything will return to the peace and prosperity of the past, I believe this is the truth, what about you?" ”
Emperor Zhou said: "I also believe it." ”
The two of them knelt for half an hour, and no one dared to disturb them.
Shibasaki Sakurazawa, who had escaped, ordered the soldiers on the side: "The emperor of the Zhou Dynasty is in the bamboo sea, you follow them and find an opportunity to act." ”
"Yes, County Lord!"
