16. The darkness that cannot be faded
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The sky was gray, and the dark clouds were floating in the sky, trying their best to block out the industrious sun. From time to time, the strong winds that pass here bring the distant mud and dust here, soaking the originally clear sky, and at the same time casting an indelible dust on the hearts of the people living under the sky.
The qiΔ in front of him became lifeless, and everywhere he could see was the traces of the disaster, and the prosperity of the past was like a passing cloud, and it seemed that he could still hear the wail of death coming from his feet.
It's a dirty world, and it's a world of despair.
Those who once thought they controlled the whole world now have to prostrate at the feet of the playthings they once despised, to pray for the "mercy" of the former playthings, so that they can enjoy a little sunshine and rain from the cracks.
Then, having enjoyed a little sunshine, they seemed to be able to straighten up and continue to show their nobility and greatness in front of those who were still prostrate and alien, and play the music that smelled of decay.
"What a rotten city......
Despite the words of disgust in his mouth, his body still wandered leisurely around the land, completely ignoring the black-brown irregular lump of dirt that appeared next to his feet and the charred black carbon-like object in the shape of M not far away.
"Sue the fools of the Forward Battalion who have forgotten their duties, if they still linger on the beds of those village girls, I can guarantee that they will never see the sun the next day. Lord Xiangguo did indulge them at first, but that was after they had completed their tasks, not taking orders as if they were the wind in their ears! β
Although the words seem to reveal stern sΓΉ and anger. But as if he were still roaming the streets he hated, the ones who were supposed to be annoying were completely unable to make any fluctuations and ripples in his heart, or that he had experienced so many things in his previous life that his heart might have been numb by now.
After all, the pillar of faith that originally supported him to live in this world like a human has collapsed, and even now he can still be in a high position, and he can decide the life and death of others with one word, but without his own beliefs, he is just a walking corpse.
I don't know how the beautiful and ignorant girl who is far away is now?
That may have been the only concern and concern for the rest of his life.
It seems a little sorry for his knot wife. But I think the other party should be in the same mood as him at this time. has been married for decades, and he is still confident in this tacit understanding, even if the two people are slightly different in appearance.
"It's a good place, let's take a break."
Before I knew it, I came to a familiar place. It's just that the prosperity of customers in the original memory has turned into a depression in front of him - the owner has long been gone. The empty lobby was littered with dusty cases. The beams used to support the structure of the house have long since decayed, and if you look closely, you can see that various insects are "living and working in peace" on them, and the whole store smells of decay. It looks like it's been desolate for a long time.
But I don't think this was what it looked like half a year ago.
Is it the magic of time that is too amazing, or is there a qiΔ magic in the air here?
No one thinks about the answer to this question, and perhaps they don't want to think about it.
"My lord, do you need to clean up?"
"No, that's fine, so I can smell what I want to smell."
Saying the words that made the second monk completely confused, leaving the other party with a full head of question marks, it looked like pretending to be a clever master to be a dull servant, all boring tricks.
But what the truth is, perhaps only the master himself who suddenly has a stern face knows best.
"Will you let me find that answer?"
muttered to himself, his face was no longer as light as he had just now.
A little sadness, a little thought, and a little nostalgia and emotion, for a save zΓ i is a sudden realization, it seems that the qiΔ in front of him gave him interesting clues, but after all, he couldn't use these clues to find the truth hidden in the layers of fog.
But this feeling didn't last long, and it was interrupted by a distant commotion.
"What the hell is going on, let those stupid people who can't control their own ** be quiet, it's really getting more and more unruly."
It's just that in the face of criticism this time, the recruited guards showed a rare mixed expression of hesitation and grievance on their faces.
"What? Is there anything you can't say, compared to being reprimanded by me, you should know very well that you have delayed the end of the business. β
Although it still sounds unkind, it is like an amnesty for the soldiers who know the supervisor they serve very well.
"Good sleep, you know. Just now, the barbarian man of Amqi said that the city guards in the north of the city will now emit a cloud of black smoke in the mountains north of the city at night, tens of thousands of feet high, it seems that some powerful general has absorbed the resentment scattered in the city, and is preparing to come out to fight for his king again. We all thought the story was too outrageous, but the barbarian of Amzi seemed to believe it, because no one could convince anyone, and they quarreled. Please forgive me for disturbing adults. β
"What ...... the North"
seems to be in deep thought, his eyes have lost focus, it seems that the soul has flown to the place that he cares about, if it weren't for the fact that ** still has all the physiological reactions that a living person has, maybe the guards would have thought that the object of their allegiance had flown away in an instant.
So all they could do was to surround their masters, and at the same time, the quarrel that had been going on had to be put to an end for the time being.
Of course, there have been many people who have decided to go to the place where the legend was born when they have nothing to do.
After all, in this chaotic and boring city, it is not easy to find such an interesting thing, even if it is likely to lose your life because of it, but even if it is broken, no one will feel sorry for it.
In this decaying city, it seems that all of them are rotting and sinking with it.
"War...... That's right. Uncle Huang, you once fought side by side with that Cao Cao, what kind of person is that. β
Compared to the city that has been ruled by chaos, sin, hatred and depravity, it is like the most beautiful countryside in the world, with a warm breeze blowing a green and clear stream flowing slowly, carrying the source of life and washing the dust from the human heart. The warbler flies and the grass grows, laughing and singing, and she catharsis in this sunshine to her heart's content.
And in line with this beautiful picture. It's a teenager with a sunny face. While wiping his beloved spear, he looked at the middle-aged man wiping his body with anticipation, and looked at the number of scars left on the middle-aged man's body even according to the laws of this world, representing the countless bitter battles that the middle-aged man had experienced.
"Cao Mengde? I have to admit it. That's an amazing guy. Although in martial arts there is more than one level of tolerance with the master. But he is also a bloody man who can be called a hero. The old lord once said that in the entire coalition army, there are only two heroes worthy of his admiration. One of them is this Cao Mengde. β
"Huh? Since there are two, who is the other person whom my father admires? Could it be the ...... who seems to be honest?"
"No, no, no, although Liu Xuande is also very strong, and his general Zhang Yide is even more courageous, and his martial arts are also far from virtuous, but the lord doesn't like some things in that person. At that time, the lord told me that if Liu Xuande didn't change something about him, maybe he would be swallowed up by this chaotic era sooner or later, even if he was a capable and ambitious and trustworthy subordinate, he could only make wedding dresses for others. β
"This is strange, when my father and I talked about the coalition army, we only mentioned these two people that impressed him, but I don't know that there is a third person who impresses my father so much, could it be Yuan Highway and Yuan Benchu?"
"Hahaha, little lord, you are right, with the temper of the old lord, he really won't like the noble sons of a family like Yuan Highway and Yuan Benchu, so the second person he admires should also be able to think of it, which is Sun Bogui, the Taishou Gong of Beiping."
"It's understandable that some of Gongsun Zhan's practices seem to be very similar to his father's."
"This is the way it is in this era, and a person's destiny is often set from the moment of birth. People with bad backgrounds often can't succeed no matter how hard they work later, or they have to sycophernate some bastards who know that they are villains, if there is no such troubled times, maybe what two thousand stones will be feuded to the marquis, with the temper of the old lord, it will be difficult to get it until death. And even so, it was only by relying on the activities of the great man of Zhu Gong and some actions of the subordinates of the old lord's faction in secret. β
"So leave this era to me to end?"
"Haha, the little lord can have such ambitions, and he will be happy if he wants to come to the old lord to know about it. It's just that this kind of ambition is good to put in the bottom of my heart first, our current strength is insufficient, and the little lord still needs to be patient and hibernating. β
"But when will it take to be a head, I feel like I'm going to vomit at the thought of that bastard!"
"Then the little lord may be able to find something to do at this time to solve it. For example, contact those generals and officials who are also not very satisfied with Yuan Highway, such as Pingchun Li Wenda, Xiyang Lu Ziheng, Chengde Liu Ziyang ......"
"Okay, okay, Uncle Huang, except for Lu Ziheng, it is very difficult for Yuan Highway to conquer these people you mentioned, even if Yuan Highway wants to conquer it, they are obedient to Yuan Highway on the surface, but in fact, only God knows what they are thinking. Not to mention that I'm a hairy boy, in addition to being good at fighting with people, my appeal seems to be even less than Yuan Highway. β
"Hahaha, this doesn't look like the little lord I'm familiar with, why don't you give it a try."
"Because it's more attractive to me than to go to the awkward Corporal Lixian, or the upcoming war!"
"I still like to fight so much, it's really ...... However, it is not impossible to improve fame, I heard that Yuan Highway plans to marry his concubine to you, but I heard that it is a very beautiful young lady~ You should have seen it. β
"Ahh......h This, that, maybe, probably, almost, that one has been seen......"
Even if it is a young and brave tiger cub, it is finally an age when it has entered a hazy feeling for the opposite sex. At first glance, when I heard such a topic that was really nothing for adults, I was not surprised to blush, and my expression was a little twisted.
"If you've seen it, you've seen it, if you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it, and it's not like my little lord. By the way, what does that young lady look like, is she really as beautiful as rumored, and is the little lord tempted by her? β
"Ah, this is not the time to talk about that kind of thing. My father's revenge has not been avenged, how can I be in the mood to talk about my children's private affairs? β
The rare expression quickly faded from his face, replaced by a sense of longing for war that had been restored before.
Because of this, he showed a sunny smile.
I just saw that this smile was exactly the same as just now. Huang Gai couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Why. There will be a feeling of uneasiness in my heart.
Why, I feel that there is resentment and resentment hidden under this smile.
Why, I feel that this sunny smile is so similar to the smile of the old man before the accident.
"Then the little lord should step up his preparations, whether it is the Xiahou brothers or Cao Ren in the enemy formation. They are all well-known brave generals. Moreover, those yellow turban thieves in Hebei are afraid that they will not be able to hold back Yuan Shao's army. Maybe you can still see fierce generals like Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Don't be embarrassed by saying big things when the time comes~"
"Haha, Uncle Huang, in other aspects, my Sun Bofu doesn't dare to boast. But this is the only fight, whether it is a big war or a small brawl, I have never lost, so let's think about what good wine should I get to celebrate. β
"Young people are really confident, but at least your Uncle Huang and your Uncle Cheng are indeed not your little hairy opponents, maybe you can really surprise them on the battlefield. Maybe it's a comparison with that Lu Fengxian. Speaking of which, if you can defeat him, you can give your father a shame, how about it, are you interested? β
"How could it not be, but my father has always been haunted by that failure. It's just that this time there is probably no chance, but there will always be a time to fight in the future, and at that time, let me weigh the man's pounds with the spear in my hand. β
"It's nice to be young......"
Shaking his head with a smile on his face, Huang Gai left here, looking from a distance as if the elders were proud and worried about the determined juniors, and even Sun Ce, who was looking at his back, only felt the melancholy of the former heroes being obsolete by the determined young people, as well as the joy and sentimentality of the successors of the Sun family.
But only Huang Gai knew in his heart that his mood at the moment was far from so simple.
After all, even if it was not explicitly stated, as the three subordinates who followed Sun Jian for the longest time, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and Han Dang have always felt extremely strange about Sun Jian's death under the secret arrow of Lu Gong.
Maybe Sun Jian didn't mention the danger he felt like a few people, but as an old subordinate who had followed Sun Jian for a long time and was already very familiar with his behavior and habits, all kinds of strange actions that Sun Jian had in the period before his death and now recalled them were all reminding them that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
However, as Sun Jian's successor and the young master Sun Ce, who accompanied Sun Jian on his last journey that day, he never mentioned the qiΔ born that day, as if he had some big secret that could not be told to anyone.
Curiosity can kill cats, but if you can satisfy your curiosity, you can die without regrets.
Not to mention, according to their instincts as warriors, the later they find out the secrets hidden behind them, the more dangerous it becomes. They were powerless to do anything about the death of the old lord Sun Jian, so they had to protect Sun Ce, who was the heir, from harm no matter what.
This is the duty of a loyal courtier, and it is also a kind of responsibility and love from the ancestors to the younger generations.
"Do you love the feeling of fighting...... I always feel that if this continues, the young master seems to have embarked on the same path as the old master. β
In front of Cheng Pu and Han Dang, it was the only time when Huang Gai didn't need to take care of it.
"I'm afraid this matter is very difficult to do, and we can only wait and see what happens, after all, he is our young master."
can't be forced, can't threaten, such a result is still a headache for several old generals who are not good at strategy.
"May God bless the children and grandchildren of the Sun family."
The strong sense of powerlessness made these generals can't help but make such a powerless voice, which is diametrically opposed to the majestic appearance on the battlefield, but the uneasiness that has always hung over their heads and haunted their hearts has tormented them with an indiscernible future.
"Perhaps, we can write to the one in the state to consult. Although we don't have a very close relationship with each other, but I have also heard about some of his miracles at the beginning, for the safety of the young master, even if I give up my old face, I have to ask the other party for an understanding. β
Perhaps oppressed to the extreme by this oppressive atmosphere, Han Dang made such a declaration with a decadent face.
However, even he himself knows very well that the other party is not a person on his side, even if there is still a little friendship with the robe at the beginning, but with the arrival of this troubled world, I am afraid that it has already been cut off, even if they are not smart and wise men, they also know very well what kind of prestige Sun Jian left in this land of the Han Dynasty, and his successor has also shown great potential, if they can eliminate this potential threat without using their own hands, it will be a happy thing for most princes. Perhaps only a guy with too much self-confidence like Yuan Shu would think that he could tame the Sun family's fierce horse with his own wrists.
It seemed that the heavens could sense their feelings, and at some point a dark cloud as black as ink drifted over.
The storm seems to be about to befall this chaotic big 6.
Pan Sen: I have a severe cold, and the whole person feels light and fluttering for a whole day, and my throat is even more swollen and painful, so everyone should pay more attention to their bodies, but don't be like us. (To be continued......)
