Day and night alternate, dawn breaks, the sun rises, and the warm sun shines on the walls of Liangshan City, shining brightly.

This should have been a scene full of vitality and grandeur, but under the situation of the barbarian attack in March, the blood-stained and broken city wall at the moment added a lot of loneliness and misery to this scene.

Liangshan City, the number of qi has been exhausted, and the hard support of the past three months has made this originally prosperous city become depressed, if there is no strong help to come, then the city is broken, I am afraid that it is less than half a month.

It's just that in the current situation, even if the Emperor of the People can send a strong hand to help, the road is far away, and I am afraid that there is no way to return to the sky.

Liangshan City, in the city, the city lord's pavilion.

In the brightly lit pavilion, the atmosphere is magnificent, the momentum is majestic, there are several places in the mansion where the lanterns are placed, and the everbright stone is burning, rolling up the curling green smoke, and it is swirling in the mansion.

The price of everstone is not low, and ordinary people cannot afford to use it, let alone use it as fuel for lighting. But all this, happening in the City Lord's Mansion, seems to be normal.

Another sleepless night.

The man in front of him, sitting in front of the desk, wearing a light gray robe, frowned slightly, although there was fatigue and uneasiness in his eyebrows, but it was still difficult to resist the majestic momentum. Around it, there is a faint momentum of rising, if it is released, it will be a shock to the four wilds, and no one dares to offend.

This man, who looked to be about forty years old, was the city lord of this Liangshan City, and he was in the sky.

Beside him, there is also a beautiful woman in palace costumes, slender and not weak, with a queen-like appearance and temperament, although it is covered by a pale face, but it still looks dusty, but the tiredness and uneasiness between her eyebrows are no less than the sky.

She is the wife of Tu Lintian, Su Zhirong.

At this moment, in the inner mansion of the city lord's mansion, there are only these two people, and there is not even an ordinary guard and maid.

"Lintian, you haven't slept all night. Su Zhirong spoke, her voice was beautiful and graceful, and with that beautiful face, no matter who she was at the moment, she would be fascinated by it.

"This is the medicinal porridge I made for you, you have been working too hard these days, replenish your body, take a break. Su Zhirong stepped forward, walked to Tu Lintian's side, and brought a bowl of warm medicinal porridge to his side.

Tu Lintian glanced at Su Zhirong, the restlessness in his eyes was less, and there was more pampering and gentleness, but it was only for a moment, he shook his head, sighed, and then retracted his gaze and looked at the chaotic letter on the desk again.

Seeing this, Su Zhirong was not reluctant, and his eyes were also on the table full of letters, and then he looked at Tu Lintian distressedly, and said, "Is the emperor still unwilling to send troops to us to help?"

Hearing this, Tu Lintian sighed helplessly again, "In the past three months, I have written to the Emperor of the People more than a dozen times, but every time, it is a stone sinking into the sea, and there is no response, if the Emperor is willing to help, will he wait until this time?" ”

"In the past few days, the messengers and spies I have sent out will lose contact with each other in a short time after they leave the city, presumably captured by the barbarians......" At this point, Tu Lintian paused, "and was completely killed." Tu Lintian closed his eyes and sighed.

"There are several cities in this area of the Yunhai Mountain Range, I'm afraid there are few tranquilitys, maybe in the near future, this Yunhai Mountain Range will also be handed over to the barbarians. ”

"In the past hundred years, the barbarian invasion is unstoppable, and there is no land where it passes, and it is a miracle to resist the last year and a half. Su Zhirong stepped forward and held Tu Lintian's shoulders and said.

"It's just that I can't figure it out, why the Emperor of the People has refused to send a single soldier to aid the cities in this area of the Yunhai Mountain Range, everyone knows how important the Yunhai Mountain Range is to the Dawu Dynasty. ”

But even so, the Emperor of the People still watched the city being broken and was indifferent, why. Su Zhirong said.

In the years before the barbarian invasion of the Yihuo realm, no matter where it was invaded, the human emperor would immediately mobilize manpower to help the local soldiers suppress the invasion of the barbarians, but with the defeat of each resistance, slowly, the human emperor sent fewer and fewer people, but the barbarian invasion became more and more fierce day by day, and it was not until a few years ago that the human emperor finally stopped helping the invaded place, so he proclaimed himself.

Perhaps from that day on, the Dawu Dynasty in the Yihuo Realm has existed in name only, and what remains is just the approach and encroachment of the barbarians.

"Now, half of the rivers and mountains in this Yihuo Realm have been plundered by the barbarians, and the Human Emperor is probably too busy to take care of himself. ”

"The Human Emperor may have already given up the Yihuo Realm, abandoned the Dawu Dynasty, and found a way to leave the Yihuo Realm and go to the Upper Realm. ”

"If it weren't for the barbarians who tortured and killed the captives, and the soldiers almost didn't survive, I'm afraid that this half of the country would have descended a long time ago, in that case, maybe a few years ago, the barbarians would have occupied the Yihuo realm. Tu Lintian laughed at himself and said, "I'm struggling to support here, but it's just to let the innocent people in the city evacuate this morning, and now that the barbarians have sealed the city, I'm afraid it's useless for us to do anything." ”

"To the Upper Realm...... That's just the way recorded in ancient history, no one has succeeded in 10,000 years, but the human emperor has already mastered the method. Su Zhirong wondered.

The Yihuo Realm is just one of the three thousand realms, and these three thousand realms are only collectively named, not as precise as only the three thousand realms.

The ancient history of the Yihuo realm records that tens of thousands of years ago, there were ancestors who did not know how to break through the barrier between the Yihuo realm and the upper realm, so as to break through, until the ancestor fell, the codex was left from the upper realm, so that the creatures of the Yihuo realm knew the existence of the upper realm and the three thousand realms.

According to the Codex, the Flame Realm is just a small world among the three thousand realms, which the ancestors called the lower realm, even if it is slightly inferior to the other lower realms in the three thousand realms, let alone the upper realm.

Because of this, some people speculate that the barbarians are from some Nether, and more likely from some powerful Upper Realm, and only in this way will they break the barrier and show such a crushing situation in the battle between the two races.

It's just that this speculation has not been announced from the mouth of the Dawu Dynasty, and if it is announced, it will cause turmoil, not to mention, it will make people despair even more, so they will give up resistance.

"If the Human Emperor had found a way, I'm afraid he would have left long ago, and it wouldn't have been delayed for that long, or ......" Tu Lintian paused and said, "The method of going from the Nether Realm to the Upper Realm is very harsh, so harsh that the Human Emperor can't complete it for decades with the power of the Great Martial Dynasty,"

It has been tens of thousands of years since the fall of the ancestors of the Yihuo realm, and for these 10,000 years, the ancestral codex has been in the hands of the dynasty, regardless of the change of dynasties, it has never been lost, and the secret of going to the upper realm, although most people do not know, but within the dynasty, it can be regarded as word of mouth, but even so, for 10,000 years, no one has succeeded, which shows the accident and harshness of the ancestors going to the upper realm.

"And it is precisely because of this that we need to constantly resist the barbarians and buy time for them. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he was speechless, but he scattered the letter in front of him with a palm, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Therefore, the human emperor also transmits the news to you every few days, asking you to live up to the emperor's orders and resist stubbornly to the end......" Su Zhirong bit her red lips lightly, and her eyes were already covered with layers of mist.

"Lintian ......" Su Zhirong wanted to say something, but she didn't say it.

Tu Lintian stood up, held Su Zhirong's hands, and swept away the haze of tiredness and anxiety in his eyes, replaced by pampering and sadness, "Zhirong, these months, you have worked hard......"

Su Zhirong was born in a family, she was originally the identity of the eldest lady, because of her talent, she had never practiced, but she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and after marrying Tu Lintian, she took care of many matters in the city, so that he could practice and deal with government affairs with peace of mind.

"If then, you will listen to me, go with them......"

"Lintian," Su Zhirong already knew what Tu Lintian wanted to say, "At that time, if you wanted me to go, I didn't agree, and today, I won't agree." Su Zhirong's jade hand was clenched by Tu Lintian, and his eyes were facing each other, but he was speechless.

How could Tu Lintian forget that he had almost driven Su Zhirong away that day, because he knew what would happen if Su Zhirong didn't leave. But Su Zhirong disagreed in every way, and let Tu Lintian persuade or even expel him in every way, and in the end, he was forced to die, so he was able to stay by Tu Lintian's side.

Since then, Su Zhirong has been seriously ill, even if he was still struggling for help and even going into battle in person from time to time, he insisted on accompanying Su Zhirong every night to take care of her, but Su Zhirong's face was pale, and she never returned to the ruddy and angry as before.

"It's just that I've suffered you, in my life, I have devoted myself to cultivation, and I have never been with you well, and in the past three months, I have never been by your side all the time. Tu Lintian took Su Zhirong into his arms, even the seven-foot man in front of him with a majestic atmosphere between his eyebrows, couldn't help but cry sadly at this time.

Because, the person he loves most in this life is by his side, but he is powerless to protect, so he can only slowly wait for the day of parting, this sense of powerlessness is desperate.

"It's a pity that our child has experienced such suffering, and we can no longer take care of him......" Speaking of this, Su Zhirong finally couldn't help it, buried in Tu Lintian's arms, and couldn't cry.

At this time, the hearts of the people in the sky were in full swing, and their children ...... Fortunately, he had been sent out of the city three months ago, and he was protected by someone he trusted very much, so he must have arrived in a safe place now.

"Rest assured, Zhirong ......"

"Our children will definitely be able to inherit our wishes and survive in this troubled world. ”

Do you hear me, my child?

He meditated in his heart.

In the heart of the father, there is still a luxury for you.

If you can grow up healthy, you will surpass your father.

Become the world's mighty and banish the barbarians from this world.
