Chapter VII: Successors (Supplements)

In Liaodong in July, there is still a little dew in the early morning, like a crystal diamond, hanging on the tip of the tender grass, as soon as people walk over, they will wet the trousers and shoes, wet, as if they have just stepped on it and stood out of the stagnant water.

Last night, Zhao Chen camped on the top of the mountain, obviously underestimating the weather in Liaodong, the sun was still shining during the day, and the scalp of people exposed to the sun was hot.

However, at night, especially on the top of the mountain, it was windy and air-conditioning, and Zhao Chen had something in his heart, so he was tossing and turning all night, and he didn't close his eyes very much.

The bureaucrats always get up earlier than Zhao Chen, and by the time Zhao Chen gets up, the bureaucrats have already gotten up, and they are busy, preparing breakfast, and the whole camp is in a miasma.

On the other hand, when I looked at the village below the mountain, it seemed deserted, and occasionally one or two people could be seen, and they also glanced at the top of the mountain in a hurry, and then disappeared into a certain courtyard.

"Do you think they'll come along?" The heartless old eunuch, holding a toothbrush and toothpaste in his hand, with a towel around his neck, wiped his mouth with a towel, and looked at the village under the mountain like Zhao Chen, and asked a little suspiciously.

"Maybe, maybe not!" When Zhao Chen heard the words of the unintentional old eunuch, he couldn't help but turn around, glanced at the old eunuch holding a toothbrush, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, turned around and entered the tent.

He didn't know if the people in the village would agree to come, but he was very sure of one thing, that is, at this time, those women in the village must have hated him to the core!

She lives a good life, guarding her husband and children every day. But because of his sudden arrival, the husband was about to leave the village. Follow him on an adventure to Goguryeo, whether he can come back alive. It's still unknown!

When he couldn't sleep last night, Zhao Chen's mind was full of the women he met along the way when he entered the village yesterday, to be precise, the hatred in the eyes of those women when they looked at them.

I feel like I'm a strong man, which makes Zhao Chen feel very uncomfortable!

Breakfast for the wingmen. It was done very quickly, and after Zhao Chen simply washed up, breakfast was ready.

And just as Zhao Chen was sitting there and eating breakfast, Xu Yi, who had lived in the village last night, returned from the village to the top of the mountain with a look of disappointment.

"It's okay!" Zhao Chen looked at Xu Yi, who had a disappointed look on his face, and couldn't help but chuckle and said, "When you go back and wait for Goguryeo, just grab a few tongues!" ”

"I'm sorry Lord Hou!" Xu Yi heard Zhao Chen's words. The look of disappointment on his face suddenly turned into a look of guilt, and when he stood in front of Zhao Chen, he seemed to have done something wrong. lowered his head and said, "Xia Guan didn't know that it would become like this in the end!" ”

"You can't be blamed for that!" Zhao Chen saw Xu Yi's guilty look, and immediately smiled indifferently. And then, when he said this. looked at Xu Yi and said, "If you haven't eaten, hurry up and eat." In that case, let's go right away! ”

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Xu Yi hesitated slightly, and then, he sighed vigorously at Zhao Chen, turned around and left Zhao Chen's tent!

"It's a trip for nothing!" Seeing Xu Yi leave, the unintentional old eunuch who had been sitting in the tent in silence, at this time, smiled bitterly at Zhao Chen and said, "If you knew this, you should have gone to the government and asked them to help find it!" ”

It's just that when the heartless old eunuch said this, Zhao Chen didn't seem to hear it at all, and pulled the rice in the bowl hard!

The sun had gradually risen, and the village was still quiet, even if even the children I had seen yesterday were nowhere to be seen.

Bai ran away, just as the old eunuch said, Zhao Chen frowned slightly, stood on the top of the mountain, silently looked at the village below, his eyes showed a complicated color, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Behind Zhao Chen, at this time, the wingmen were busy, dismantling all the tents in the camp, carefully folding them, and waiting for Zhao Chen to put them away again.

"This village was built by Grandpa Zhang and a few of them at the beginning!" Xu Yi didn't know when he came behind Zhao Chen, and with Zhao Chen's gaze, he looked at the village below together, and said in a quiet tone.

"Came back from the battlefield of Goguryeo?" Hearing Xu Yi's words behind him, Zhao Chen still looked at the bottom of the mountain, and asked without looking back.

Regarding the situation here, Xu Yi has always been reluctant to mention it, and it was not until this time that Xu Yi Zhao Chen talked about the matter of this village.

"That's right!" When Xu Yi heard this, his face showed a trace of pain, and then, looking at the village under the mountain, he sighed softly and said: "Back then, Grandpa Zhang and a few of them, together with the grandfather of the lower officials, were all under the hands of Laihu'er, but unfortunately, in the final crossing of the river, they were all scattered!" ”

When Xu Yi said this, he couldn't help but pause slightly, and a look of pain flashed in his eyes, and then he continued: "Later, Grandpa Zhang and the others retreated with Laihu'er, but the grandfather of the lower officials was left in Goguryeo!" ”

"Later, Grandpa Zhang and a few of them secretly became deserters during the second Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo!" When Xu Yi said this, he suddenly retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at Zhao Chen, chuckled, and said, "It wasn't until seven years ago that Xiaguan's father learned of Grandpa Zhang's whereabouts!" ”

"Actually, Ben Hou has never asked about Ling Zun!" Hearing Xu Yi mention his father again, Zhao Chen, who was originally looking down the mountain, suddenly withdrew his gaze, looked at Xu Yi beside him and asked.

“… In Goguryeo! Hearing Zhao Chen's words, the corners of Xu Yi's mouth suddenly rose slightly, and then, with a chuckle, he looked at Zhao Chen and said, "When I was secretly approaching Jingguan, I was discovered by the Goguryeo people, and then ,... Ha! ”

After Zhao Chen first heard Xu Yi say that his father was in Goguryeo, he thought that his father was doing something in Goguryeo, but as a result, when he heard Xu Yi's words, the whole person was stunned for a moment.

"Master Hou, 300,000 people!" Seeing Zhao Chen's stunned expression, Xu Yi said with a painful look on his face: "Since Goguryeo built the Jingguan, in fact, it has never been broken..."

When he said this, Xu Yi couldn't help it, took a light breath, and continued: "There will always be people like Xiaguan's father, either dressed as a businessman or a hunter, waiting for an opportunity to approach Jingguan, but unfortunately, they have never succeeded!" ”

"Then presumably, these people in the village under the mountain are part of it?" Hearing Xu Yi's words, Zhao Chen imagined in his mind that Xu Yi said the scene, his scalp couldn't help but numb, and he looked at Xu Yi and asked.

"yes!" When Xu Yi heard this, his eyes looked down the mountain again, and a mocking smile suddenly appeared on his face, and said: "It's a pity that they have almost forgotten the purpose of coming to Liaodong in the village all these years!" ”

"They also have a last resort!" Hearing Xu Yi's obviously resentful words, Zhao Chen suddenly turned around, patted Xu Yi's shoulder, and said, "Let's go, we have no reason to coerce anyone's will!" ”

After these words fell, Zhao Chen immediately walked to the tent that the wingmen had already packed up, and in an extremely natural way, pointed the mobile phone in his sleeve robe at a large pile of tent materials in front of him.

"Master Hou, they haven't forgotten, do they still remember..."And at the moment when Zhao Chen pressed the recycle, Xu Yi, who was originally standing there and still looking at the bottom of the mountain, suddenly shouted excitedly at this time.

It's just that the next moment, when Xu Yi turned around excitedly and shouted at Zhao Chen, the whole person looked at the slightly fluctuating water lines on the pile of materials behind him, and suddenly, as if he had seen a ghost, his mouth opened wide in shock.

However, what surprised him even more was that the fluctuating water ripples only lasted for a few breaths, and the large pile of materials that he saw just now disappeared in front of him out of thin air.

"What?" Xu Yi's voice was very loud just now, and when he heard Xu Yi's words, the expression on Zhao Chen's face couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then, as he spoke, he rushed to Xu Yi's side in a few steps and looked down the mountain.

"Just get used to it!" The unintentional old eunuch, who had just left the top of the mountain with Zhao Chen, couldn't help but follow Zhao Chen when he heard Xu Yi's excited words.

It's just that when he passed by Xu Yi's side and saw Xu Yi's obviously shocked expression, he couldn't help but pouted and chuckled, patted Xu Yi's shoulder with schadenfreude, and said.

And when these words fell, the footsteps followed Zhao Chen to the top of the mountain and looked down the mountain.

At this time, in the village, several men with bows, crossbows, steel knives, and battle robes and armor were striding towards the top of the mountain, and behind these men were a group of crying women.

And when he looked at the innermost part of the village, at the door of the old man's house, he saw the old man, who was standing at the door of his house, looking at this side from afar.

It seems that he also noticed that Zhao Chen was looking at him at this time, the old man who was originally standing there with a crutch, at this moment, suddenly threw away the crutches, and unexpectedly, under Zhao Chen's shocked gaze, he bent down tremblingly towards Zhao Chen.

It's a trust to him!

Seeing the moment the old man suddenly bent down to him, Zhao Chen immediately understood what the old man meant, and the old man hoped that these people would walk out of the village today, and he would still be alive one day and continue to return to the village.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chen suddenly took a light breath, and then stood facing the old man, learning from the old man's appearance, and bowing solemnly to the old man.

"Let's go!" The camp had been cleared, and the people who were waiting had arrived, and after bowing to the old man, Zhao Chen didn't stop any longer, shouted an order at everyone, and then took the lead and walked down the mountain on the other side. (To be continued.) )
