40. Rout

I have been alone for half my life, with no one to rely on, no worries, no desires and no desires.

The world is black and white, so I am black and white.

......

/Volume 2/Interpretation of the World

When Ru Sanshui regained consciousness, he found himself in a barren ridge, and he didn't know where it was.

Under the heavy gauze on her left arm, there was a dull pain, and she covered her left arm, shaking it step by step, moving slowly. She felt her flesh and bones like mud, extremely soft, and the Soul Separation Technique still uncontrollably pulled at her soul body, and from time to time it shrouded her body in a black mist. She took a few steps before she had to stop and take a steady break.

There was a meaningful and chaotic murmur in her ears, and she looked around, and saw a few grave bags hidden on the gentle slope behind the forest, and those chaotic words came from the underground, and she involuntarily walked towards the grave. Uncontrolled, the soul turned into smoke and invaded the ground, and the cold feeling spread through the soul to her body, giving her a chill.

The small words turned into screams of struggle, and then fell silent.

After returning to her body, she felt much better, and her left arm was no longer painful, and she could move at will. Without time to think about whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, she heard the footsteps of a living person.

So she went around the forest to look for it, and saw an old woman at the foot of the mountain from a distance, and the distance was so clear that Ru Sanshui could clearly hear the sound and distinguish the details.

She was shocked in her heart, and turned her eyes to see other things, the veins of the leaves on the top of the tree, the wings of the flying child, and the trickle of the wind, all of which were extremely clear.

Looking at it from a distance, about seven or eight hundred meters away can be discerned is the Luzhou City Tower, and a golden flag is slowly rising. She could also see the different expressions on the faces of the flag-raising soldiers. This is the outer outskirts of Luzhou City, barren mountains, inaccessible, and there is no available strategic terrain, Jin Bing did not pay much attention to this place.

Ru Sanshui went down the mountain and went to intercept the old woman. The old woman staggered, thinly dressed, and looked sorrowful, but she had a basket of flowers between her arms.

"Girl, do you want to spend it? When the old woman saw her, she seemed to perk up, and asked her with a smile. Ru Sanshui saw that although she was down, she still had some grace and grace in her words and deeds, which showed that she was also a wealthy family before the war.

"The war is chaotic, how can my mother-in-law sell flowers in this suburb, let's go. Sanshui had no money on him, and he still had three thin bamboo hairpins on his head, so he pulled one and handed it to her.

"From childhood to old age, they have settled here, where are they going? The family is gone, and the body and bones are failing day by day, and I can't think of living tomorrow. Do you know that selling flowers in this life and being beautiful in the next life, I just want my little daughter who died early to be reincarnated better in the next day, and she can be healthy and worry-free. ”

Still smiling, the old woman picked out a handful of sprinkled wildflowers from the basket and handed it to her.

Ru Sanshui took the bouquet of flowers, thought for a while, and asked, "Mother-in-law, I don't have a family, I buy your flowers, can I also have a good baby in the next life?"

The old woman's eyes were vaguely moist, and she stretched out her rough and thin hand and touched Sanshui's hair: "This is also a hard-working girl...... Take it, take it, it's beautiful in the next life......"

Ru Sanshui raised his knees and saluted the old woman: "There is a new road in the south of Mennan, which was opened a few days ago, and it is very hidden. ”

Hearing her words, the old woman closed her eyes and shook her hand: "Where can I go that long way, I know that I may have sorrows, joys and angers, or regrets and grievances, all of which are things that have been exhausted in this life, and I have nothing to worry about." If the girl was still able to escape, she went and left the old woman alone. ”

The old woman had already walked away, and Ru Sanshui looked at the thin vine and white flowers that were still hanging with water droplets in her hand, and her nails were twisted down, and she was behind her head.

The annals of history will record that the banner on the city is raised in the northwest, and the corpses are scattered in blood, but it will be recorded that the lonely graves in the wild mountains are overgrown with weeds, and the widows and widows are crying. A few dewy thorns and snow in this hair, only she remembers.

The pace of the Jin soldiers' southern invasion was in full swing, and after the loss of Luzhou City, all the remnants of the army retreated to Zhenzhou City. And the so-called "reinforcements" have retreated to nowhere.

At this time, Liang Qian, who was in Zhenzhou, was in a hurry, and heard that Xue Jinyu died in Guxi because of sword training.

Because of the deterioration of his injuries, he still has some count of her death, but it is difficult to accept this statement, how can swordsmanship make people go crazy? Although he was extremely confused, he did not have the heart to investigate it carefully because of the tension of the war.

Zhenzhou had enough troops, and he originally thought that he would be able to hold a new defense line this time, but Zhenzhou City was lost again. No matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to accept such a reality, retreat again, and enter Yangzhou City.

As everyone knows, Yangzhou is a beautiful and rich place, and now the Jin Dynasty's Wanyan Liang in this cold autumn and winter, but also want to feel a "fireworks March down Yangzhou" of the beautiful thing.

The successive defeats made the Great Song army unstable, and the discussion was boiling. In other words, these young people, who have been accustomed to living in peace for decades, have already lost their ambition to survive in the troubled times. The curse of defeat without a fight seems to be imprinted into everyone's heart, and the civilians in the market talk about golden changes, and there are new deserters in the barracks every day.

Before Yangzhou City was about to go to the army, there was bad news from Gu Xiao, and Liang Lao had passed away due to illness half a month ago. For Liang Qian, who lost his relatives one after another, this is another big stone pressing on his heart. Liang Qian, who originally had the last layer of psychological defense, seemed to have accepted the ending.

He sealed the White Deer Sword and handed over the precious land to Liang Yi'an.

After a glass of bitter wine, Liang Qian pointed to the bridge of Liang Yi'an's nose: "Go, go back to Guyi, bring my White Deer Sword back, take it with you, and inherit the Liang family's family business." Don't you don't believe that the Liang family's qi is exhausted? I will look at the Liang family on this sword for the rest of my life. ”

The city wall was windy, and Liang Qian wrapped himself in a robe and stood in the undulating shadows of the female wall. He looked at the calluses formed by the accumulation of his palms and drew his bow and sword, and then looked at the group of returning chariots and horses.

He whispered, "Dad, I can't go back." ”

On the day he sent off the White Deer Sword, Liang Qian finally let go of his obsession and gave up his courage to fight against fate.

After a long night of drunkenness, he was in a trance, and he suspected that he had seen the return of his old man. The Danyi Luo skirt, misty water sleeves, curved eyebrows and eyes, and a clever smile.

With tears in his eyes, he reached for it, but only found a thin wisp of smoke.

The beacon fire festival, the sound of war drums is like a tide. On this night, arrows with flames, like meteors of the end of the world, destroyed a century-old Yangzhou.

The battle was fierce, and after the loss of Yangzhou, within a few days, the city of Guazhou was lost. The Lianghuai garrison retreated all the way to the south bank of the Yangtze River......

In October of the 31st year of Shaoxing, a fire broke out in the backyard of the Jin Dynasty, and Wan Yan Yong suddenly announced his ascension to the throne in Liaoyang, Tokyo, and Wan Yan Liang intended to quickly establish his prestige. Rectify the grain and grass warships, the army forced to quarry, prepared to cross the river from Cuiluo Mountain, and continued to invade the south.

At the west foot of Cuiluo Mountain, the cliff that bursts into the river is the quarry rock. At this time, the royal power was nested in quarrying, and Liang Yi'an finally countered this model of desertion and took the lead in the army.

He assisted General Binfu, who was transferred, and held the pass. With 18,000 men and 150,000 gold soldiers, he generously swore that "he should be Lin'anyue and not follow the path of Jingkang".

The Liang family's lost fortune in Cuiluo Mountain, he wants to recapture it in Cuiluo Mountain.
