Dilemma2 Section II
The second section today is the day of stationing in Nanning City.
Wu Ming has been staying in the carriage for most of the past half a month and has hardly gone out. Of course, he didn't know about the situation outside, and he only found out when Tao Yu sent a message to him from a soldier of the Guards Battalion. The team staggered forward in the continuous winter rain, everyone didn't talk much, this way, life and death, all kinds of changes have sharpened everyone's nerves, and it seems that they are numb to return to Nanning.
Wu Ming sighed lightly, and then lifted the curtain. The sky was gloomy and dark, and the clouds were as black as ink, as if they were about to fall at any moment, and when the wind blew, the clouds rolled with them, as if there was a demon behind the clouds and spreading the clouds.
It's already close to Nanning, so the post road is much cleaner and tidier than other places. The entire post road is nearly five meters wide and is paved with bluestone. The post road exudes a strange brightness in the autumn rain, and the horses step on the bluestone slabs, making a "clucking" sound. Wu Ming patted the soldier who was driving the car and said, "How long will it take to get to Nanning?" ”
The soldier was startled, Wu Ming has always lived in a simple place recently, he almost forgot that there was someone in the car, this time he actually took the initiative to ask himself, it was really a rare thing, he turned his head, his face was happy, and replied: "It's here, my lord, look." As he spoke, he curled the whip in his hand and pointed ahead.
Through the drizzle, following the warrior's point, he looked up. In the distance, under the gray rain, a tall and majestic city appeared. Because there was a carport in front of him, he hadn't noticed it just now, and at this time, it seemed that the wall was like being born on the carport in front, and it was also shaking, and it was not very real.
"Everyone cheer up, stand up, and let the fathers and villagers in Jiangnan see our might!"
Wu Ming looked at it, felt bored, and was about to put down the curtain, in the distance, Tian Hong rode a horse, ran all the way with a loud voice, and when he arrived in front of Wu Ming's car, he restrained the horse, smiled unnaturally on his face, and said: "My lord, Niang Niang has specially explained, especially your lord, you must stand up, smile on your face, and wave to everyone, you are now the hero of our team, and you must not be sloppy." ”
Tao Yu and Wu Ming have not seen each other for more than half a month, and of course they have not spoken, she may know that this time she used He Yi in exchange for everyone's safety, even if Wu Ming didn't say it, he was definitely dissatisfied in his heart, so he didn't bother Wu Ming. Unexpectedly, when she contacted Wu Ming again, she gave such an absurd order, Wu Ming almost wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his mouth, he still swallowed back, and just said lazily: "Okay." ”
Tian Hong was probably really afraid that Wu Ming would pick on him when the time came, so he said a little uneasily: "My lord, Madame has gone, no matter how sad you are, it will be in vain, if you are like this, Madame will not be peaceful under Jiuquan." ”
Wu Ming was hurt by what he said, took a long breath, smiled reluctantly, and said: "Don't worry, go quickly, there are still many brothers behind you who want you to convey orders, when the time comes, the army will not be in order, don't lose the face of our Southern Expeditionary Army." Tian Hong glanced at Wu Ming a little worriedly, and finally gritted his teeth, shouted all the way, and walked towards the back of the team.
Wu Ming stood up, put his hands behind his back in front of the wheel, stood up straight, and looked ahead, in the distance, at the gate of Nanning City, it was already crowded with people. All kinds of oil-paper umbrellas bloom in the rain, shining like clusters of lotus leaves blooming in the rain. "Xiaoyi, I'm already home, where are you again?" He looked at the distant scenery and thought faintly. With He Yi's soft temperament on the outside and strong on the inside, I'm afraid that he can't bear the humiliation, so he will commit suicide a long time ago. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but clench his fists. In the distance, at the head of the city, there seemed to be a delicate girl holding a pipa, squatting in the rain, singing in a low voice:
I don't know when it will be.
The clouds are miserable, and the sun is miserable.
Climb the Chongyuan to look at it from afar, and there are few dreams of the green court.
Thousands of miles of the mound is Xiao Xiaoxi, and the voice of the voice is chirping.
The subversion of the Chamber, the north of Hess.
The geese are returning to the group, and the gentleman's period is slim.
Feel the hesitation of the gentleman, and the shaking of the heart.
The thunder was gusting and the wind was fierce.
Walking on the chariot of the speeding car, wading through the snow.
There is no trace of a gentleman, and my heart is broken.
Tonight, the sunset, the river is forgotten.
Holding hands and sighing, weeping ripples and staining clothes.
……
He wiped his face, only to feel that it was hot and cold, and he didn't know how much it was rain and how much it was tears.
Just thinking about it, in front of me, a burst of cheers suddenly erupted like a roar of the sea. Half of Li Yuan's 3,000 iron horsemen opened the way in front, waving their hands all the way, majestically and proudly, amid the cheers of the people, slowly moving forward, and then hugging into the city. The one who followed was Wu Ming's guard battalion.
I don't know if it was Zhu Huai's intention, or if the Guards Battalion was really more popular than the Black Armor Army, and when the Guards Battalion reached the crowd, the shouts of these people seemed to be a little louder, and their ears hurt. Wu Ming was in the car, and he didn't speak, just stood in a daze, and his ears were full of "Niang Niang Hongfu Qitian." "Lord Wu is invincible." "Long live ......" and so on, together it sounded even more weird, and Wu Ming couldn't help but want to laugh a little.
They probably don't know how much suffering the remnants of the army have endured along the way, and even the prince's ashes have been left in a foreign land. They didn't even know that Lord Wu, who was invincible in the world, almost died in the hands of his own people in the end, and he was able to escape by relying on the protection of his wife. Even escaping from the Persians had an element of luck. However, they didn't know that what they heard might be how they took thousands of people, ran thousands of miles, captured the Southern Barbarian King alive, and then planned to get rid of the Persian army and leave calmly. Political propaganda can blind people's eyes, but it can never blind the facts, and Xiaoyi will never come back.
Wu Ming only felt that his face was wooden, and he really couldn't arouse the slightest interest, and the soldier of the Guards Battalion who was driving was interested at this time, sat on the side of the carriage, puffed up his chest and waved around, as if it was a great honor to be able to stand next to Wu Ming. He suddenly said excitedly: "Lord Wu, the city wall of Nanning is really high and thick, you see, some sedan chairs of rich and noble families have stopped on the city wall." ”
Nanning City is one of the several big cities in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there is even a saying in the Eastern Han Dynasty, "Nanning poured in copper, Kyoto cast in iron" This soldier also stayed in Kyoto, but he didn't expect to arrive in Nanning City for the first time, and it was still a fuss. He raised his head a little bored, and was about to perfunctory the other party, but as far as his eyes could reach, his body was shocked.
I saw that on the city wall, a small cyan sedan chair looked even more elegant and extraordinary in the winter rain, and a woman in light yellow clothes was lifting the sedan curtain, lazily looking down. That trace of tiredness, it seems that even the rain in the sky has been transformed into melancholy rain. Seeing Wu Ming looking over, the other party seemed to be taken aback, and closed the sedan curtain in a little panic, and then retracted a mantis head.
Xiaoyi?!
Wu Ming stumbled and almost fell off the carriage. He couldn't help but exclaim softly. The warrior seemed to be taken aback, raised his head, put his hand on the pergola and looked at it, then turned his head and said, "My lord, you are dazzled." Madame, how could Madame be here. Alas......" Speaking of this, he seemed to lose interest, and sat back in the driver's seat, with a depressed face.
Wu Ming was so distressed by what he said that he suddenly woke up. Yes, it's impossible for Xiaoyi to come back, maybe I'm really dazzled. "Thinking about the day, dreaming at night" is nothing more than that, thinking, he smiled bitterly and looked up again.
The cyan sedan chair was carried by two family members like a frightened rabbit, and it had disappeared into the rain curtain, Wu Ming looked at it blankly, couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, and sighed. Maybe he was mistaken, he thought, listening to the cheers in his ears, but his eyes were wet with tears.
