Chapter 677: Back to the Old Place

There were more than 50,000 defenders in Thang Long City, and after the death of the commander Chen Pingzhong, the king of Baoyi, Emperor Chen Huang was advised by Chen Guojun to take Chen Rilian, the king of Zhaowen, as the defender, to be responsible for the defense of Thang Long City and block the Song army after the break, preventing the Song army from pursuing the fleeing Dayue royal family. Chen Rilian thought that the lonely city was difficult to defend, and after discussing with Chen Guojun, he decided to transport all the grain and grass materials in the city, but the soldiers and civilians defending the city heard that the emperor was going to abandon the city and flee, and they were already in chaos without a fight, and no one obeyed orders.

But a strange thing happened, when the soldiers of the Cochin Army took the things that started the fire and piled them outside the granary, and threw the lit torches on the fire, a sudden heavy rain fell in the sky and extinguished the fire.

The soldiers who set the fire tried several times in a row, and the results were the same, but what made them feel terrible was that it only rained when they lit the fire!

The same thing happened in other warehouses.

After learning the news, Chen Rixian finally understood what kind of power was doing such a thing, and he also knew why the 200,000 Jiaozhi army would be wiped out in an instant.

Sun Hui.

Chen Rixian originally had the intention of withdrawing all the soldiers and civilians in Thang Long City and burning the city to the ground with a single fire in order to completely implement Chen Guojun's strategy of "fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness", but now he completely dispelled this idea, because he was afraid that Sun Hui would give him a punishment unimaginable to mortals.

After Chen Guojun led an army of 10,000 to escort Chen Huang and the members of the Dayue royal family away, Chen Rixian also led an army of 10,000 to abandon the city, and the capital of Dayue was lost to the enemy.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the light cavalry of the Song army caught up so quickly and launched an attack on the fleeing Jiaozhi people.

As a royal princess, Alan was almost caught by Song Jun. If it weren't for her martial arts, superb riding skills, and Xu Qingyan's protection, she would have become a prisoner of the Song Army now, like many members of the royal family.

Although she escaped from her pursuers, she did not want to go to Hai Duong.

She was going to find Chen Jinghao.

Although there was already news that he was dead, she did not believe it.

"Let's pick up the dragon." Alan turned his head and glanced at Xu Qingyan meaningfully and said.

"Okay." Xu Qingyan seemed to know why she was doing this, so she didn't object, but nodded happily, then turned around and strode in the direction of Shenglong City.

Alan looked at his back gratefully, and his heart flew to Chen Jinghao again.

Where will Chen Jinghao be now? What is he doing?

At this moment, she would not have thought that Chen Jinghao was not only rescued, but also escaped.

There is a stone tablet several meters high in the outermost part of Wanjiao Mountain, which is engraved with three big characters of "Wanjiao Mountain". The stele can be seen from a long distance, and the reason why it was built so high and so big is to remind people who come here that the Ten Thousand Tribulation Mountain is in front, and those who don't want to die still take a detour.

With the stele as the boundary, after passing the stele, even if you really enter the scope of the Ten Thousand Tribulation Mountain, but in fact, the first few miles of this stele is already deserted, and no one will choose to live near the Ten Thousand Tribulation Mountain.

There were no makeshift tea sheds for people to drink, only an official road, but it was also deserted, with only two wheel prints on it, and grass growing in the middle and on both sides, and it was obvious that no caravans had passed by for a long time.

Standing on the official road, the official road divides the forest into two halves, half of which is the land of life and half of the land of death.

Noon has passed, the sun has finally converged a little hot, perhaps because of the deep mountain forest, birds, beasts and insects have increased, there are birds in the jungle, I can't tell what kind of bird it is, but the call is very good. From time to time, grasshoppers have to jump under their feet, jumping from one side of the official road to the other, these little guys are much more daring than humans, they don't care what is the mountain of ten thousand tribulations or not, jumping around, unrestrained.

Chen Jinghao smiled, walked to the side, and touched the huge stone stele, he couldn't touch the top, he could only barely touch the mountain character below, the stele was still the same, but the carvings on it seemed to be deeper.

There are many kinds of roads in this world, roads paved with bluestone slabs, roads paved with jade, roads paved with gravel, and clean loess roads. There is also a looming road overgrown with weeds hidden behind the stone monument, which was when he was a child and wanted to see the outside world.

Roads are used for walking, but different roads will have different feelings when walking on them, some are stable, some are awkward, some roads are walkable by all, some roads others dare not walk, and some roads cannot be walked.

Walking on the path he carved out by himself, his heart had a sense of belonging.

The road is very difficult to walk, potholes, gravel and weeds everywhere, and in some places it is blocked by the torso of rotten trees, it is really not a wonderful thing to walk on such a road, you need to watch out for the big potholes under your feet from time to time, and you also need to pay attention to the thorns and branches sticking out on both sides, if you are not careful, you will be scraped on your clothes, or leave a clear scratch on your body.

Where is the road, it is clearly a curve that does not know where it extends.

He lifted up the branch in front of him and lowered himself to drill through, but instead of landing on his feet, he took a big step forward, as if he couldn't step on where he should have been stepping. He pushed away the dead grass under his feet, and there was a big hole underneath, not deep, but it would definitely allow the careless person to plant a big heel.

This hole has been here for a long time, when he was a child, he ran around, it was because of this hole, he fell many times, so he wrote down this position in particular, and now after so long, this hole is still there, in combination with the dense weeds that grow on this road, it seems that no one has walked this road for a long time.

The steps are much lighter, and the mood is much better.

Before returning to Xingding Palace, this was his only home, at that time, he didn't know what the world was difficult, he didn't know what grief was, and he didn't have the worry that he would die at any time.

It's just that he is rarely seen now, since the moment he left the Ten Thousand Tribulation Mountain, he is destined to never go back to the past, if he is given the opportunity to choose again, he thinks, he will never follow the uncle who can fly like a bird to leave the Ten Thousand Tribulation Mountain.

He would rather be a wild child who doesn't know anything, and sometimes, people only understand how rare it is to be simple until they have experienced complexity.
