Chapter 814: Explore

slaughter

This is the word fluttering on the battle flag that has been replaced.

Ye Jinnan didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking about, so he simply withdrew his gaze from the battle flag and stopped looking, Tu was still standing on the city wall and looking at the distance and didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking, Ye Jinnan retreated first under the pretext of being unwell. When he went down to the city, he glanced back at the big flag fluttering in the wind, as if he saw that the slaughter character had turned into a human face and was still smiling with a bloody mouth.

In the past, when the big flag was Luo on it, Ye Jinnan didn't seem to be so blocked.

Although Luo Yao is dead, at least this flag can still evoke memories for many people. When people look at this flag, they think of the glory of the past. But now looking at this slaughtering banner, everyone feels so unfamiliar. It's as if he never belonged to this team, never spilled blood for this flag.

When he came down from the city wall, Ye Jinnan felt a little top-heavy. He told himself that maybe he was really caught in the wind, but he forgot that he hadn't been sick in years.

He lives in an inconspicuous mansion in Liuzhou City, and when Tu entered the city, he assigned him a large mansion but was rejected by him, I don't know what Lu Dao is, and now he dislikes Zhang Yang more and more. There is always the illusion that you will be pointed at when you appear in front of people, and there is always a chill down your spine for a while.

In the past, he wore iron armor and rode a tall horse in the crowd, and he always had a sense of pride that a soldier should have. Whether it is when the left-hand avant-garde banner is held or when the Luo character flag is raised, this sense of pride has never disappeared. Now Ye Jinnan tried his best to regain that pride, but failed again and again.

Walking on the strange street of this strange city, watching the passers-by look at him with fear and disgust, Ye Jinnan suddenly wanted to cry.

His residence is in an inconspicuous alley, this house was originally the home of a Liuzhou garrison captain from Liupin, coincidentally, this captain died in the hands of Ye Jinnan, but Ye Jinnan was destined not to know the details of the road. The defenders of Liuzhou are still holding the banner of the Great Sui, and the defenders of the soldiers resisted very strongly when the slaughter army attacked the city, but unfortunately, this city that was once marked as a strategic place on the map of the Great Sui has long been a matter of people, and the local wealthy families are unwilling to pay for the soldiers, and the Tonggu Academy has sent people several times to order the requisition of the Liuzhou defenders but has been refused.

Ye Jinnan thought of the dead bodies on the city wall, and suddenly felt that the soldiers who had not received their salaries for at least two or three years were much prouder than themselves. At the very least, those soldiers knew what they were fighting for and what they were dying, and Ye Jinnan had already lost his way at this time.

And not only him, but this army has also lost its way.

Perhaps, at this time, only the person named Tu knew what he was going to do.

When the courtyard door was opened, two disabled veterans hurriedly greeted him, one took the war horse away for him, and the other dusted off the floating soil on his body for him.

"General, why did you come back so early today?"

The veteran who had no right arm asked with a smile, he only cared about dusting off for Ye Jinnan and didn't notice the sadness in Ye Jinnan's eyes. Speaking of which, now only Ye Jinnan's subordinates still have some remnants in the entire Tu army, and when Jiangbei retreated, almost all the wounded soldiers were abandoned by Tu's order.

Even Luo Yao, no matter how cold-blooded he was, had never made such a decision.

"There's nothing going on in the camp either, so come back early."

Ye Jinnan replied absentmindedly, and then walked into the house.

"By the way, General, not long after you went to the camp early this morning, General Mu Li came once, and when I heard that you went to the camp, I went back again. Subordinates remember that last time you mentioned that Mu Li hadn't been recuperating from illness, but now he doesn't look like a patient, but the sadness between his eyebrows is too thick. ”

"I'm tired, go back to sleep first."

Ye Jinnan was in no mood to speak, and he didn't want to ask Mu Li what he was doing. Mu Li's thoughts, he understood a long time ago.

Of the original Luomen Ten Masters, there are only three left who are still alive now, and if you don't count Tu, there are only two people left, him and Mu Li.

The most eye-catching people who were once under Luo Yao were all killed in battle. Zhan Yao, the head of the Ten Masters of Luomen, died in Yongzhou, and Ye Jinnan still doesn't know how Zhan Yao died. Wen Xiaodao, Duan Bian Leopard, Duan Bian Xiong, Zhu Quan, Cui Lunhai, and the mysterious General Mo are all dead.

Ye Jinnan had dreamed many times at night that the ten of them were riding horses and following Luo Yao, even the Wen Xiaodao, whom he hated the most, seemed so kind in his dreams. The dream was so real that it was as clear as what had happened yesterday. Every dream has the same image, lingering.

On the day he set off from Yongzhou, Luo Yao pointed to the north when he rode his war horse and asked, "Do you know what are we going to the north for?" ”

Everyone didn't dare to speculate, so they waited for Luo Yao to say.

Luo Yao pointed in the direction of Chang'an City and said, "I am greedy for worldly power because if I am not greedy, I will not be able to give you benefits. Only when my rights are greater and greater can you get more and more. So what do I do to give you the most benefit? ”

"Be the emperor!"

The outspoken Duan Bian Xiong shouted at the top of his voice, and Luo Yaoha laughed: "You are all my soldiers, I don't give you benefits, who do I give it to?" ”

This is the picture.

Appeared in Ye Jinnan's dreams countless times.

He kicked his boots off and lay on the bed looking at them without sleeping.

"General, General Mu Li is here again......"

Someone outside the door whispered, and then waited for his answer. Ye Jinnan frowned, not wanting to see Mu Li, but finally sat up and ordered: "Please go to the living room, I'll be there later." ”

……

……

"This is my second time here today."

Mu Li glanced at Ye Jinnan, and then lowered his head to look at the water vapor coming from the hot tea in his hand. Only then did Ye Jinnan realize that Mu Li looked so much older. You must know that Lu Dao Muli is a famous beautiful man among the left avant-garde generals, and he is also a well-known Confucian general. This person was originally a scholar, and his gestures were bookish, but when he arrived on the battlefield, he was cold and direct, Luo Yao once said that he had the style of Li Xiao.

But now, Mu Li's temples are actually full of white hair.

"I know that I can't persuade you."

Mu Li lowered his head, and his tone was a little desolate: "You have an obsession in your heart, and you have been forcing yourself to look at the current team of the original general, you are afraid that once you deny the obsession that you are carefully guarding, you will never be able to go back to the past, but ...... In fact, it has long been impossible to go back to the past. ”

Mu Li took a sip of tea: "I wanted to persuade you before, because I haven't given up on this team, and I still want to go back to the past." I'm not here to persuade you today, it's because I'm dead. ”

He glanced at Ye Jinnan: "I'm here to say goodbye to you, I'm leaving." ”

"Let's go?!"

Ye Jinnan turned his head to look at Mu Li violently: "Where are you going?" ”

"It doesn't matter where I go, the important thing is that I don't have the heart to stay here anymore."

The water vapor wet Mu Li's eyes, and his head drooped lower: "Actually, since the day Duan Bian Leopard was calculated to die, I have been thinking about leaving. He was bent on avenging Duan Bian Xiong, but he was sent to the grave like a fool, and his death was really not worth the fuck...... It's just that I haven't been able to let go, I've always felt that this is still the general's team, if I leave, how can I be worthy of the general's cultivation and trust for so many years? ”

"Now, the Luo characters on the banner are gone."

Mu Li paused, shook his head and smiled: "Do you remember when the ten of us followed the general out of Yongzhou?" I've dreamed about that scene countless times......"

Ye Jinnan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

"It's going to get better, if you leave like this, what will happen to your subordinates? Among them, there are many old brothers who have followed you from birth to death for many years, and you just left, who cares about them? ”

"That's why I'm here today."

Mu Li raised his head, looked at Ye Jinnan and said solemnly: "If you still recognize me as a brother, do me a favor...... Tomorrow is your subordinates on duty, and I plan to take them with me under the pretext of going out of the city to train, as long as you help me delay for an hour, just an hour. ”

"I ......"

Ye Jinnan wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed silently.

"Things are not people."

Mu Li got up and prepared to leave: "Actually, I thought before I came, if I told you the truth, then it was possible that tomorrow morning it would be the death of me and my subordinate veterans. I understand you, but I still don't want to lie to you. In fact, if I don't say it, no one will doubt it when I go out of the city to train tomorrow. I just wanted to tell you...... Near the South, this team, this team with the banner of slaughter, is it still worth your defense? ”

Ye Jinnan shook his head: "You go, I'll treat you as if you haven't come." ”

Mu Li smiled bitterly, turned around and walked out the door.

"Go west, if you're lucky enough to bypass the battlefield between Yang Jian and Tonggu Academy, go back to the southwest. Although I don't know Fang Xie very well, I believe that he is the one who can take you in, and you can go home at the worst of all...... I heard that Fang Xie distributed the fields to the people in the southwest, and the people lived a good life. If you don't want to hold a knife anymore when you get back, you should be able to change to a hoe......"

Ye Jinnan looked at Mu Li's back and said.

"Home?"

Mu Li smiled sadly: "The home is long gone......"

……

……

Outside the city of Liuzhou

A few people lying on their stomachs in the grass looked at the flags on the city wall, and the eyes of the leader flickered for a moment, and then they became relieved: "After following for so long, I finally know who the firearms have fallen into......

He rolled over and lay down, his clothes covered in dust.

"Tuan rate, we have followed Mu Ping all the way here, and we finally know who is trading with foreigners. I thought it was someone from Mufu who was ready to enter the game, but it turned out that it had nothing to do with the people of Mufu. ”

A young man said.

"Not necessarily."

The person known as Tuan Shuo rubbed the corners of his wrinkled eyes and said, "With this, our business is basically done, and what we need to do now is to send the news back as soon as possible and let the Lord know about it." The good thing is that we are not too far from the southwest, and most of the distance has come over unconsciously. Xiao Duzi, you and Da Lei rush back, and I will leave someone behind. ”

The young man called Xiao Duzi was puzzled: "It's all been investigated, why don't you go together?" ”

"I can't go."

The man known as the group rate shook his head: "I always feel that there will be more gains from staying, the value of the existence of our Xiao Riding School is to find out the news for the lord, and now if I encounter such a big thing, if I withdraw it hastily, I am not reconciled." You go now, and if you can contact our people along the way, let them support me. ”

He turned over and looked at Liuzhou: "This place, I want to explore!" ”
