West Wilderness, Angun. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
At this time, it was already late at night, and in Andu, Anjun, the lights of thousands of homes were peaceful, the starry sky was bright, and a full moon hung in the sky, which was extremely eye-catching.
Anjun is located in the north of Qin County, and further north is the grassland, where the people are fierce, and in the imperial army, there are often some pioneers from Anjun, which can be called a strong military atmosphere.
At this moment, in the middle of the night, there are few pedestrians on the streets of Andu.
There was an old man, with a calm face, but with a bearing of his own, who wore a plain and clean white cloth coat with black trousers underneath. At the moment, he was walking slowly down the street with his hands behind his back.
At the corner of the street, a guy who was packing up his things saw this old man, his eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded and smiled: "Yo, Uncle Zhuge , it's a big night, you are wandering around again." β
The old man turned his head, squinted and looked at it for a while, it seemed that his eyes were not very good, and he recognized who this guy was after looking at it for a while, he said happily: "It turned out to be Xiao Li, yes, uncle, I walked down, and the people and horses in the city of Andu were noisy during the day, this person was old, and he liked to be clean, so he came out at night, and you see, this starry sky is not also very beautiful." β
The guy surnamed Li stretched out his thumb and exclaimed, "Hehe, it's still Uncle Zhuge that you are in a peaceful mood." β
However, as if he remembered something, the guy said distressedly: "You are old, unlike the old man of my family, he is always chattering, talking about what other people's children are doing, saying that Xiao Wang of that family has found a daughter-in-law, and saying how much silver money Xiao Zhao can make every month in this family, I am annoyed to death." β
The old man surnamed Zhuge walked over, patted the man's shoulder gently, and whispered a reprimand: "Xiao Li, how can children talk lightly about their parents' faults, this is not good, but don't worry, the next time I see your father, I will tell him." β
Hearing this, the young man smiled happily, "I knew that you were old, and you were the best." β
After speaking, the young man patted his head, he quickly turned around and entered the house, and quickly took out the fried dried tofu wrapped in oiled paper, and respectfully gave it to the old man, "Uncle Zhuge , this is for you." β
The old man was not polite, he was justified as a "lobbyist" salary, he picked up the fried dried tofu and sniffed it carefully, the old man immediately smiled, like a smiling Buddha, he praised: "Xiao Li, your craftsmanship is getting closer and closer to your father, a skill in hand, food and clothing are not worried, so live a peaceful life, isn't it also good?" β
As he said this, the old man seemed to sigh a little, and the trees nearby shook gently where the young man had not noticed.
The weird thing is that there is no wind.
The young guy is not interested in the preaching of such an old man, he is still young, how can he be willing to make fried dried tofu all day long, what he yearns for the most is Lu Xuanyu thirty years ago, the first person of the young generation in the empire at that time, can be called a "perfect" existence.
He often imagined that he was His Royal Highness in the North, and when he shouted, the 50,000 black-armored Xuanbei army orders forbidden, countless riding spears were like dense forests, countless riding knives were shining brightly, bright as the sun, and he himself was prancing his horse under the hills, and when he swung his sword, he bravely moved forward in the face of the cavalry of the Northern Barbarians.
That's his life.
Where the blood goes, there is no turning back.
Who can not have such a dream?
The young man suddenly became a little interested, and he suddenly asked: "Uncle Zhuge , I heard that you also went to the battlefield of the Northern Expedition back then, tell me about the situation at that time?" β
The old man nodded hehehe, "Definitely, definitely, but for now, you better go back quickly, it's too late, your dad has to talk about you again." β
When the young man thought of his father, he immediately deflated, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Okay, then Uncle Zhuge you be careful all the way, I'll go back first." β
The old man stood where he was, waving goodbye to the young man, and only after the other man was gone, did he walk slowly with his legs raised.
The bluestone slab under the feet has been replaced three times, and it is different every year, and the world is becoming more and more chaotic.
The old man continued to walk, on both sides of the street, it was getting darker and darker, and there were fewer and fewer people, but the old man knew that in the invisible corner, there were many beggars who were struggling to survive, and although the drought in the Western Wilderness had passed, the impact on the Western Wilderness had not been eliminated to this day.
The human heart is not ancient.
"Step, stepβ"
The clogs made a crisp sound as they stepped on the stone slabs.
The old man seemed to sense something, and he bent down with great difficulty, and placed the fried dried tofu on the ground with great care.
An indifferent voice came from in front of the old man, "Don't worry, wait until you finish eating." β
The old man nodded, as if he knew that the other party was a man of his word, and if he said that he would do it after eating, he would never sneak attack.
The old man bent down again and picked up the fried dried tofu, he took it out of the oiled paper, carefully tore off a corner, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
The old man chewed very slowly, and while eating, he chatted casually, "Your teacher asked you to come?" β
"Yes."
"After Wu Jing died, he left Cangnan, why?"
"The promise is over."
"This doesn't make sense, although you are a person who does what you say, but your teacher is not a kind person as far as I know."
"All beings, there are sentient beings, my teacher is profound, how can there be only one appearance?"
The old man Zhuge showed a mocking smile, "What's the trouble, he has assumed the name of Du Wanli, he has been the forest capital of Cangnan for thirty years, there is no tiger in the mountains, and the monkey is the king, since you want to fight, then come, I have been watching the mountains and listening to the rain in this Andu for twenty years, and it is time to fulfill my duties." β
"Western Prison" Zhuge Ting, who has guarded the Western Wilderness for the empire for 20 years, has been living in Andu, Anjun, preventing the grassland from going south, and at this moment, he began to go all out.
And on the opposite side of Zhuge Ting, the previous high priest of the grassland, stretched out his hand coldly and said indifferently: "I know your whereabouts, you have spent twenty years here in nothingness, and I, practicing in an extremely cold place, fighting in the ice and snow, how can you win?" β
"Squeak-"
The wooden door on the side of the street suddenly opened automatically, and it seemed that an invisible force was controlling the place.
Zhuge Ting suddenly asked, "Ke Dugen, can you go outside the city?" β
"Whew-"
The original invisible wind quietly dissipated.
"Step, stepβ"
The sound of clogs sounded again, and the person in front of Zhuge Ting took a few steps forward, and the moonlight scattered down, illuminating the person's face.
Bitter and hateful, his face was full of sorrow, like the poorest herdsman, but his eyes were clearly full of confidence.
It seems that with a single stretch of your hand, you can control this world.
Kodugen took a few steps out and nodded coldly, "It's up to you." β
Only then did a smile appear on Zhuge Ting's face, but he still frowned, because the confidence in Ke Dugen's eyes was very unreasonable.
That is already a biased and arrogant conceit, and as a state of unity, the state of mind should naturally be peaceful, and it should not be so easy to show love and hatred.
However, when the battle was approaching, Zhuge Ting didn't care too much, but he walked and chattered: "I was born in the water town of Jiangnan, even if I stepped into the realm of unity, what I wanted to wait for the most was still how many buildings in the Jiangnan in the smoke and rain, but unfortunately the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, and was assigned to the Western Wilderness by the empire to do the "Western Prison", at the beginning, I was very restless, because after all, the Western Wilderness is adjacent to your grassland, maybe there will be a strong man from the grassland to sneak attack, but unfortunately, this peace has been peaceful for thirty years. β
The old man raised his head, looked at the bright starry sky, looked at a full moon, and said with a smile: "In the past thirty years, I have been in this city, eating fried dried tofu, at first I ate what Lao Li did, and after Lao Li died, I ate what Da Li did, and now, I eat what Xiao Li did. The desert scenery here, the tenderness of the mountains and rivers, the coexistence of the two, I like it very much, and it is good to live a life like this. β
Kodugan, silently walking at the rear.
Zhuge Ting didn't care about someone's silence, he looked at the city gate, and said peacefully: "It's like before, when I looked at the night sky, I only had this full moon in my eyes, but now, in my heart, I praise the bright stars, these countless humble and small existences, gathered together, can be compared with the bright moon, this kind of united power is the great road of the world." β
The city gate suddenly opened with a bang.
Above the city, there were great torches, and many of the soldiers guarding the city did not know what was happening, and shouted: "I'll fuck it, who opened the door and looked for death." β
"Day, what about the dog things below, it's a big night, and people can't sleep?"
β¦β¦
The chaotic sound kept coming.
Zhuge Ting glanced at the soldiers who had passed out beside him, and made a gesture: "Please!" β
Kodugan snorted and strode forward.
Zhuge Ting immediately followed him, and behind the two of them, the city gate slowly closed again.
In Angun, the lights are still peaceful. (To be continued.) )
