Chapter 19: The Acropolis

"Sure enough...... Only in this way can I gain the strength to compete with the barbarians in a short period of time......" Tu Lintian looked at his two palms full of strength at this moment, and muttered to himself, but the voice of the voice was extremely small, and even Nanyue did not hear it clearly.

"Lord of the City, what did you just say?" asked Nan Yue.

"It's nothing ......" Tu Lintian shook his head, and instead noticed the mess around him, he sighed, there seemed to be reminiscence and reluctance in his eyes, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned his head to Nanyue and asked, "How is Zhirong now?"

"Don't worry, I and a few others have personally protected Mrs. these days, and I haven't let her be hurt in the slightest. Now we are looking for you, and we are also looking for a few more people to replace us, and there are still people to protect Madame at the moment. Nan Yue said.

"And there was turmoil here in the City Lord's Mansion just now, except for the collapse of the City Lord's Mansion, some other buildings in the city are almost no damage, so far, we have not found any casualties, they should be safe. Without waiting for Tu Lintian to open his mouth to ask, Nan Yue said.

Tu Lintian nodded, he was very relieved. Because these are extraordinary times, the barbarians may attack at any time, and they will do it in any way, such as tonight's assassination, which is still a little unexpected by Tu Lintian. So in the past few days, despite Su Zhirong's opposition, he has transferred out a few top cultivators and sent them to her side in case of accidents.

And South Vietnam now looked like he wanted to say something, and opened his mouth to say something.

"There's something, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Seeing him like this, he spoke.

"It's just that this afternoon, Madame will break us up anyway, saying that she wants to take a break in the city by herself, and she will not let us protect us secretly. Nan Yue said.

"Alas......" Tu Lintian is helpless, he can't understand Su Zhirong's temperament very well, what she wants to do is useless no matter how many people obstruct it, she has already made up her mind, she will definitely do it, many times, even he, who is a husband, can't stop him, helpless, let alone others who serve as guards.

It's just that what he doesn't understand is that Su Zhirong has always been relatively calm at all times, and she is more thoughtful and meticulous than him in some aspects, and she proposed it first that there would be barbarian people in the city to sneak in or assassinate, how could she really make such a move unusually at this time.

Shaking his head, Tu Lintian didn't think much about it, at this moment, everyone's importance is greater than that of the small family, he doesn't have time to care so much, as long as he knows that Su Zhirong is safe now and is still in the city, he can rest assured that he can implement his plan without scruples.

"How is the barbarian side, is there any change?" The current situation no longer allows him to be distracted, and he must be wary of the barbarian side that may attack at any time.

"Before I came here to look for you, I had already sent people to reconnoiter first, and I hadn't attacked yet, but I don't know if there was any movement from the barbarians at this time. Nan Yue said, he also knew in his heart that the barbarians no longer cared about startling the grass and snakes, and sent people to assassinate Tu Lintian, presumably now they were ready for the final battle, and I am afraid that the final general attack will be launched soon.

"Leader of South Vietnam, leader of South Vietnam......" At this time, not far away, one of the three people who had been looking for Tu Lintian separately rushed over in a hurry.

"Ah...... It's the city lord, the city lord, you're okay!" The man took a closer look, found the Tu Lintian beside Nanyue, and saw that his clothes were only torn, and even the skin injuries were not crooked, and his sad expression finally added a touch of joy.

Tu Lintian nodded, already guessing what was happening, Nan Yue next to him asked the monk, "What's the matter, so anxious, what's going on?"

"I just ....... When he was looking for the lord of the castle, he saw that the brothers guarding the city on the city wall were unusual, so he went up to see what was going on. Then they told me that the barbarians ...... The barbarian army is heading for this part of the city," he said hurriedly.

"I looked outside the city, I could only see a black oppression, such a posture, I am afraid that the barbarians have already dispatched everyone, it is estimated that there will be less than a stick of incense, and the army will be able to come to the city. ”

"When I saw this, I hurriedly reported it, but fortunately you are okay, Lord of the City, otherwise, I really don't know ......what to do," the monk said.

At this moment, Tu Lintian and Nanyue both nodded, but Nanyue was a little stunned, and said: "I didn't expect that the barbarians were moving so fast, I thought that they would wait until dawn to break before attacking, but now, it is nearly an hour early." ”

"If it were me, I would be like them, and I would go out as soon as possible, without giving us the slightest respite. Tu Lintian said, not feeling the slightest surprise. It's just that he still has regrets in his heart, he wanted to see Su Zhirong for the last time, but Na Tufu came to assassinate him, and stopped Tu Lintian, who was going to visit Su Zhirong, on the spot, and delayed a lot of time, so that Tu Lintian couldn't do it.

"Right now, I don't care so much, success or failure is just one move. Tu Lintian sighed and muttered.

He looked at Nan Yue in front of him, then turned his head to look at the three monks who hurriedly came, was silent for a while, and said to Nan Yue, "Are you really unwilling to stay?"

"Lord City Lord," Nanyue smiled with relief when he heard this, and then he clasped his fists at Tu Lintian and said: "Lord City Lord, I, Nanyue, was born in Liangshan City, and for decades, I have witnessed everything in Liangshan City. ”

"It's just that my parents are ruthless, I still don't understand why they left me, treated me as an abandoned baby, abandoned in the city, left to my own devices, I didn't even have the opportunity to ask them why, I just didn't think I had parents......"

"As an orphan without father and mother, I have long regarded Liangshan City as my mother, and everyone in the city as my family. ”

"Over the past few decades, my family has been very good to me, especially you, the city lord, and everything in the army, I have no dissatisfaction......

"Now, it's also my Liangshan City...... It's time to do my last bit with my family, I don't care about my parents, I hate that they left me after giving birth to me, and now when Liangshan City is in danger, how can I abandon you. ”

"If I did, what would be the difference to my parents? ”

"So," Nan Yue's eyes moistened slightly, but he grinned and said, "Just let me stay, Lord Castle." ”

Tu Lintian looked at him and patted him on the shoulder, the expression on his face was complicated, but he just said, "Since that's the case, then ...... Do what I said before......"

"Yes!" Nan Yue's eyes were slightly red, and he hugged his fists at Tu Lintian again, looked at him, and said, "Your Excellency the City Lord...... Please take care. Then, with the three people behind him, he left the ruins without looking back.

In the past, Tu Lintian had only discussed with a small number of people about the next plan, but South Vietnam, without waiting for Tu Lintian's arrangement, took the initiative and was willing to sacrifice himself to fulfill Tu Lintian's plan, and in addition, there were many people who were ready to realize.

After Nan Yue left Tu Lintian's side, he came to the clearing again, only to see that there, counting the three people behind him, there were one hundred and ninety-one monks waiting for Nan Yue.

"You ......" When someone reported the number of people present, Nan Yue was shocked in his heart, because the 191 people present were already the number of all the remaining monks in the city, not many of them, but not many of them.

"You're all here...... None of them left......" Nan Yue said, he couldn't help it, and there were a few tears left. Because he knew very well what would happen to the one hundred and ninety-one people present, and these one hundred and ninety-one people also knew their fate very well.

Tu Lintian had revealed a small part of his own plan to South Vietnam, which required some people to wait until the Great Wilderness soldiers came to the city, and then they were willing to go out of the city to be sacrificed as bait to buy time for Tu Lintian. It doesn't have to be too much, just a few breaths.

If no one goes out of the city as bait and can't withstand a few breaths, the moment the Great Wilderness people pour into the city, the plan will fail.

In fact, the goal of Tu Lintian's plan is very big, if it is successfully completed, he can save the lives of the innocent people in the entire city! This is also one of the reasons that has supported Tu Lintian's battle until now, he wants everyone to live too much, and he also wants Su Zhirong to live too much, their children have no home and father, and they can't let him be without a mother anymore.

"The lord and the leader of the city have made such a great sacrifice, how can we not be enlightened?" said someone in the crowd.

"The day we chose to stay, we didn't think about leaving, so it was better to do our best to do our last bit for Liangshan City, and we would die without regrets. ”

"That's right, rather than staying in the city to be a coward and being humiliated and killed after becoming a prisoner, I also choose to fight and die, there is nothing to fear. ”

"That's right...... That's right......" In the crowd, the unified voice echoed, and they were all ready to die.

"Okay!" Nan Yue roared, as if the sun was dawning, and as if to sweep away the reluctance and sadness in his heart, he didn't care too much, and said, "I really didn't take you wrong in the first place." ”

"The barbarian army is about to overwhelm the border, and we should go out of the city....... Are you ready?" said Nan Yue, "the last battle to continue Liangshan City!"

"Swear to defend Liangshan City to the death!"

"Swear to defend Liangshan City to the death!"

"Swear to defend Liangshan City to the death!"

"Swear to defend Liangshan City to the death!"

The unified and loud slogan shouted in the crowd one after another, and the voice revealed the fearlessness of a warrior, whether it was sadness or fear, whether it was reluctance or regret, it was swept away, and there was no longer a trace of gloom.
