In the twenty-first year of Qinglong, the Jin Dynasty was already the most powerful empire in all lands, from Central Asia in the west, to the sea in the east, to the sea of grass and ice fields in the north, and across the tropical forests in the south.

The Western Expeditionary Army, the allied army of various ethnic groups that had accompanied the wolf king back from the west, had taken root in this vast grassland, and had their own pastures, time flies, and after the old group died, their children inherited the military positions of their fathers, although some of them did not join the army, but the number has doubled, most of them admired the teachings of the white wolf god, full of aggression and predation, which was expected by the old emperor ten years ago.

Gongsun Zhi is now seventy years old, sitting in the north, naturally able to suppress these wolf-like cavalry, once they die one day in the future, this group of people will be an unstable factor in the whole world. During the twelfth to twenty years of Qinglong, people who secretly went to the Western Regions went one after another, and even Li Ke and Dianman, who were always around, didn't know what the emperor was going to do.

But time never stood still.

In the twentieth year of Qinglong, in the middle of summer night, there was a slight chirping of cicadas in the twilight. On the ground, in the study room where the shelves were piled with scrolls, the lamp shone on what the emperor was writing behind the long case, and the old toothless eunuch Jian Shuo sat on the soft cushion in the corner with his eyes closed.

"Jian Shuo ......" The tip of the pen stopped, Gongsun stopped looking at the light on the desk, his eyes were a little cloudy, "Turn on the light a little, I can't see the words clearly." ”

The old eunuch opened his eyes in the shadow of the corner, and got up tremblingly, his back was a little hunched, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright in the dusk, he reached out and flicked the wick, and the room became brighter, "Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that all political affairs should be left to the prince, you can't afford to stay up all night, and if you continue like this......"

"I just want to survive, and if I live until now, I want to die a long time ago." Gongsun Zhi wrote a few words on the yellow silk, suddenly sighed, and rubbed his eyelids: "Tonight, my heart is beating for a while, and my eyelids are beating badly, and I always have a bad premonition." ”

Jian Shuo smiled flatteringly, and brought the emperor a warm soup on the small stove, "That's because Your Majesty is old and stays up late......" Subconsciously stopped his mouth again, and slapped his face a few times, "The old slave said the wrong thing, please don't blame Your Majesty." ”

"What do you blame, I am already old, I dominate this throne, and let Zheng'er sit for more than 20 years of the crown prince......" Gongsun Zhi scooped a spoonful of soup into his mouth, and then continued to write, just when it was quiet, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and the voice of Dianman sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty, there is an emergency." ”

"Come in!" The emperor called softly, still writing at his desk.

When the door was pushed open and the night breeze squeezed in, Dianman gently closed the door and said softly: "Your Majesty...... There was just news from Wenhou's Mansion outside the palace that Wenhou had died on horseback ...... ”

There was silence over there, but the pen and ink of writing stopped, and then, with a bang, the wide sleeves embroidered with scales and claws swept out the ink inkstone, pen holder, and bamboo scroll, crackling and falling to the ground, looking at the emperor with an all-white beard, the emperor was so frightened that the two of them didn't even dare to breathe, bowed their heads and stood in place for a while, before they heard Gongsun Zhi speak hoarsely.

"Bury the things used by Marquis Wen in his hometown of Jiuyuan together....... and secretly call the crown prince, as well as Zhuge Liang, Wang Lie, Wang Lang, Hua Xin, Zhong Xuan and others also recruited here, I have something to tell them."

More than a dozen fast horses galloped out of the imperial city, with the emperor's edict galloping to the streets, the lights that were originally extinguished were lit up in a house, and then took a carriage to the palace to converge, thinking that the emperor was seriously ill, walking between the palace roads, and even thinking about all kinds of words in his heart, but into the study, the emperor was standing in front of the screen with his hands, looking at the painting painted on it: a painting of a horse thief holding a woman in a red robe. Hearing the sound of everyone coming in to pay respects, Gongsun Zhi just raised his hand and asked them to sit down.

"I have summoned you here because I have something to tell you...... I decided to go west again. ”

He turned, his gaze swept over the crowd, and his son, "...... You don't need your consent, just do it. ”

………

Soon after, the Lingqi with the holy decree spread to the grassland and Shanggu County at a speed of 100 miles, and countless departments who received the news of the upcoming westward expedition were excited to put on their armor, and even those who did not have military positions took out their father's armor and weapons, after all, this time the emperor allowed it, and they also wanted to go to the west to see the hometown of their fathers.

The signs of the movement of the 300,000 troops could not be concealed at all, and on the second day after the news of the movement came out, it had begun to spread to all sides and spread back to Jinyang, and some of the generals of the Far West Expeditionary Army, such as Sun Ce, Zhang Ren, and Wei Yan, who were far away in Jiangdong, Central Plains, and Yizhou, were too old to walk, and some had passed away.

And in Jinyang, when the army was gathered, Pan Feng sat up from the bed and shouted to his eldest son Pan Yuan: "Help me up, I have to go to the Western Regions for my father, and bring the armor——"

In fact, which of these people is not a human spirit, and when they live to such an age, they can't see what Gongsun Zhi wants to do, in the mansion of General Zhengdong, the old man combed his silver hair neatly, put on the bright silver armor that had not been used for a long time with the help of his wife, and when he walked out of the room with Gentian Fengming, the two sons stood there looking at him, and they didn't dare to speak with red eyes.

"Fighting for my father, never stopping, Your Majesty is on an expedition, and I will follow the left and right as before, what is there to cry about, and you will do the same in the future, and assist the prince with all your heart."

After speaking, he strode out of the mansion gate, turned over and rode away. Not far away, I met two figures that came step by step, each with a double halberd and a tiger head knife, but it was also drooping old, and when I saw Zhao Yun who came on a horse and carrying a gun, I looked at each other for a moment and laughed, Dian Wei had a serious illness two years ago, and his body seemed weak, and he needed Xu Chu's support for every step, but at this time it was as heroic as he was at the beginning.

"Zilong, let's go together-"

Now those who can still move, all met in the city, a group of old men with weapons walked together, towards the imperial city, the others saw them shocked speechless, one after another to avoid these roads, the majestic city wall is already in front of them.

The continuous lights burned in the Golden Temple.

The emperor in armor still looks tall, and under the imperial steps, the civil and military forces of the entire court are kneeling here, begging the emperor to rest the idea of the western expedition, at this time, they quietly look at the figure on the throne.

"...... I am a good person to kill, although I was born in the Gongsun family, but I have a Hun stable, in addition to killing in this life, I still kill, and I actually killed a throne...... You were enemies of me in the past, and now you can consider the people here, which means that I still have some civil and martial arts, so I can help you with all your heart. ”

Gongsun Zhi raised his white head and walked down the imperial steps step by step with the sound of the friction of the nail leaves: "...... But this time, I will not be swayed by you, including my son. With his hands behind his back, his gaze stayed on Gongsun Zheng for a moment, and he walked towards the ministers, "I am old, and I don't have much time left, so I will do one last thing for the people of this land, as for what it is, I have written an edict and put it in Jian Shuo's hands for safekeeping, and he will hand it over to Zhuge Liang, Wang Lang and others to read in front of you after I leave." ”

“…... That day, when I heard Wen Hou leaving on horseback, I felt uncomfortable, and suddenly remembered, how could I die on the bed after I had been fighting all my life. The old emperor stretched out his hand and patted his son's shoulder, grabbed him and walked towards the palace gate together, "The mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, I have killed all of them, and I have killed enough, so that you have been the prince for so many years, have you ever been wronged?" ”

Gongsun Zheng is now over forty, compared to the murderous aura precipitated by his father, he is gentle and elegant, more like a benevolent and generous gentleman, looking at his father's old face, his voice is somewhat choked, "Father...... This battle can be left unfought. ”

"You won't understand." Gongsun Zhi put his arms around him, grabbed him around his neck and pulled him to his mouth and said softly: "In the future, you have to be a good emperor, remember, there are too many stains on your father, so let's write it in the history books in the future, don't let future generations look down on our Gongsun family." ”

The light shone in from outside, and several gray-haired old men in the distance came towards this side with weapons. Gongsun Zhi let go of his son, and the white beard on his face shook in laughter.

"Did you see that?! My generals are still there. ”

In everyone's sight, they saw Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, Xu Chu, Dian Wei ..... and other generals who had been in the years, standing on the stone steps, bowing down to him: "The last general, I am willing to follow Your Majesty to the west——"

The wind blew through the palace, the sound of heavy iron chopping in the wind, and the clouds rolled in the sky.

Gongsun Zhi lifted his cloak, tied the Heavenly Sword around his waist, and took this group of veterans to the outside of the city, the summer sun walked across the earth, the vision unfolded in front of him, the black oppressive army stretched out like no end, and countless war horses neighed excitedly under the knight's seat.

Dense flags of various colors are waving in the wind, half-human and half-horse, black stars on a red background, two intertwined double dragons, etc., black skin, white skin, and copper are not pure people, seeing the Jin character banner coming out of the city in the distance, countless figures raised their weapons and roared.

The vigorous war horse sighed and stopped, and the wind blew Gongsun Zhi's cloak in the air, pulled out the Yitian sword at his waist, raised it above his head, and galloped up in countless fields of vision, and his voice sounded like thunder at this moment.

"Do you know who I am?!"

The dense figure raised his arm: "Wolf King-"

"Do you know what I'm going to take you to do today?!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Ahead, Gongsun Zhile stopped his horse, "I will take you to see the West, your fathers came from there, today I will take you back, go there to see, if anyone dares to resist under our blade, there are also countless treasures, waiting for you to get them in a dignified manner." ”

There was a fierce light in his cloudy eyes, as if he had returned to the wolf king who had been staring at him at the beginning, his silver-white beard was shaking, and his high-pitched voice roared: "Let the lambs of heaven and earth, see how invincible the 300,000 wolf riders are, and set out with me——"

The clouds rolled up, countless banners gradually extended westward in the startled dust and smoke, and dense horses' hooves whistled across the lush grassland, crushing out a huge bare ravine.

Gongsun was looking at his father's back, his eyes were moist and hot, and he knew that he would never see each other again in the future. On horseback, Gongsun Zhi looked back at his son, laughed, and handed the Heavenly Sword in his hand to the other party.

"In the future, you will treat Concubine Fu as your mother, and you will also treat your child well. You hold this sword, this country is good to take care of, and you are greedy for glory, and don't trust ministers and families. ”

Without waiting for his son to speak, he waved his hand, "That's it, you have to go the rest of the way." ”

The smoke and dust rose up, and the old body dragged a long cloak on the road to the west, and when he passed by the White Wolf Plain, which had left countless memories, he stayed there for a while, looked at the dense hills, and waved his hand: "Sour Confucian, don't pass it away." ”

The black cavalry roared, like a swarm of migrating locusts spreading across the vast and endless grassland, and the scattered and scattered tribes of Xianbei who refused to belong were swallowed up in the blink of an eye, and soon after, they stepped into the realm of the Western Regions, heading towards a desert that was even more terrible than the grassland.

In Central Asia, the city of Palamo, once one of the cities of the Parthian Empire, was re-established in a ruined ruin, the headquarters of the Mowenist Cult, and the gray-haired woman had already packed her bags and was ready to leave, and she looked at the child who was also about to leave far away, and her eyes were somewhat wet.

"Aren't you going to leave with your mother? Back to the Kingdom of Jin, where there are your brothers and sisters, everything can be done again. ”

Dimat, who was full of beard, shook his head, and he patted a copy of the Moyun Sect doctrine in his hand, "Mother wants to go back to my father, but I don't have the face to go back, Clark City is lost in my hands, and I have to take it back by myself." ”

After the death of his uncle Gerard, a rebellion broke out in the city, allowing the Romans to take advantage of the situation, and in one fell swoop they had destroyed everything they had been doing for twenty years, so they could only throw themselves to their mothers and stay for a while.

"My father can rely on more than 100 people to build such a big country, and I can't embarrass him." He raised the doctrine and scimitar in his hand, and there was still a confident smile on his face, "There are still many nomadic tribes in the north, and there may be opportunities there, even if I can't finish it, let my son, my son's son, keep doing it, teaching the scriptures with one hand and the blade with the other, until Rome kneels before me and lets them know what a murderer (Huns) is." ”

"Since you think so, then you go for it, and don't forget that the East is also your home."

The woman tidied up his clothes, and after seeing the stepson leave, she left to leave, as early as last year, she had received a letter from her husband, but unfortunately the elixir of life was not refined, so many years of time were lost, sometimes thinking about it, I feel that I am too naïve.

Soon, she left with a team that traveled far away, and handed over the Moyun Sect to the Holy Maiden in the sect, perhaps, she would return to her roots, accompany her husband, and never set foot here again.

……

In the Western Regions, the yellow sand is thousands of miles, and the golden sand sea ripples and pushes into the distance.

Then they stopped in front of the huge army, and countless people stood in the desert so hot that they wanted to peel off their leather armor and skin, and many people did not understand why the wolf king chose to camp here and stay for days. However, in their cognition, the wolf king is invincible, and there should be other purposes for camping here, or waiting for the appearance of prey.

In the simple tent, Gongsun Zhi sat panting on a low stool, his eyes closed and opened again with tiredness, surrounded by his generals, who were now also old, sitting on the sand covered with blankets, unable to even speak, just quietly listening to the emperor's words.

"Actually, you should stay at home and recuperate, why come out with me again. On the way here, I really wanted to send you all back, you have fought with me for a lifetime, and it is not enough to rest for twenty years. ”

Pan Feng, who was lying on the ground, raised his gray head and laughed: "Your Majesty can't do without Lao Pan, besides, we are all people who are about to enter the ground, what does it matter if you live one more year or one less year." In the end, when he died, he was not alone, and it was better to be buried with his brothers who were born and died. ”

"Pan Wushuang is getting better and better at sycophancy." Dian Wei sat paralyzed on the ground, his feet were no longer numerous, but he didn't care, unscrewed the wine bag and poured a big mouthful: "However, what he said is also right, the juniors in the family have grown up, and they have a pillar, and the old wife is also dead, there is nothing to be nostalgic for, it is better to protect Your Majesty, even if it is to the Yin Cao, we have generals and soldiers, and continue to occupy the land as the king." Continue to let the lord be the emperor. ”

Hua Xiong snatched the wine bag from his hand: "The good words were robbed by you, and the wine belongs to me." ”

"Save a little, that's it."

At this moment, the scorching sky outside gradually became gloomy, and the tent began to agitate violently, and the whimpering wind turned into a roar and flew the tent off the ground directly.

"Your Majesty, this is ......" Zhao Yunzhu stood up with a gentian, looking at the sky in the distance, and something was cloudy, like a gauze covering the sky.

Gongsun Zhi listened to the panicked people around him shouting and neighing, and then saw the herald running towards him: "Your Majesty, there is a sandstorm, move quickly." ”

"Let everyone stand by and not move."

The herald hesitated, and was kicked out by Xu Chu, who opened his throat and roared: "Your Majesty has an order, stay in place, and don't move-" However, his voice still couldn't travel far after all, Gongsun Zhi looked at the sandstorm that was getting closer and closer, let him come back, and said with a smile: "I have been sending people to the Western Regions for many years, just to find a way to do it once and for all, and also save the money for building the mausoleum, don't worry about someone holding a grudge in the future and digging up my tomb." This sandstorm has been waiting for many years, and it finally came. ”

The 'gauze tent' was getting closer and thicker, like waves covering the sky, and the violent wind made it difficult for people to stand still, even if anyone could escape, it was not many, and in a moment, Gongsun Zhi stood up, untied the wine bag from his waist and raised it towards the generals.

"It is the greatest honor for me to be able to fight on the battlefield with you in this life, side by side!"

Dian Wei, Hua Xiong, Zhao Yun, Pan Feng, Xu Chu...... One by one stood up, dressed in solemn uniforms, and the moment the sandstorm rolled over, he showed a generous and heroic smile, "To be able to meet and get acquainted with Your Majesty is also an honor in the life of the last general and others——"

A sandstorm swept in and drowned everything.

....

To the west, where no one noticed, when a team of people who had crossed the Green Mountains learned what had happened in a nearby town, the tired woman silently changed into a brand-new hanfu and walked barefoot alone in the desert, never to return.

"The concubine said that she would come back to accompany you to the end."

The night of the desert was cold and frozen, the soles of the feet stepping on the sand were bruised, and the woman in the long skirt stood under the dense stars and moon, and rolled up her long sleeves: "Let the concubine dance for her husband again......."

The cold moonlight reflected the light whirling dance longer and longer, when the east was white, the sun pushed away the darkness, in that desert, only the cuffs embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks remained outside the sand, and soon, the wind pushed the ripples over, burying the last color.

************

Heaven and earth have no trace, like a white horse crossing a stream.

Xiao Pao survived from the desert and returned to Jinyang with the news that the emperor and 300,000 troops had destroyed the desert, and soon after, Gongsun Zheng received the edict from Jian Shuo's hands, and ascended the throne with the support of a group of civil and military people. The late queen is the queen mother of filial piety, the queen mother of Zun Fushou, and the sister is the princess of Gongsun Liananguo.

Immediately, it was announced to the states that there would be amnesty for the world.

History has turned the page.
