Chapter 229: I'm back
On both sides of the Zimu River, on one side is a dark and bottomless fog, and on the other side is a thick city wall that is built high.
The sky is falling apart, there are two scenes, there seems to be nothing, the occasional mournful sound resounded through the sky, the war drums did not disperse for a long time, and the souls of the dead were coiled around, attracting the heavens and pity. Villains are raging, wars are raging, and the people are struggling to survive.
Yin Ye and Bai Yuxi stood on the city wall like an iron shield with Xi Yuan and Shen Xiyan, looking into the distance.
The place was black, like a hell on earth, and now it no longer felt a little bit of life.
The north wind was howling, mixed with a hint of death and coldness. Looking around the barracks behind the city walls, there were no smiles on the faces of the soldiers defending the country. And after the million soldiers, there is no such joyful atmosphere as it should be in the middle of summer.
There was no light in their eyes, and perhaps everyone knew that if the wall fell, nothing would happen to anyone.
"The more I look at this world, the more aggrieved I feel!"
Shen Xiyan frowned, even though he was a seven-foot man, standing up to the sky and the earth, he was originally a chic person, but now looking at the inside and outside here, the broken scene was a little sad.
Xi Yuan sighed: "The beacon fires are everywhere, the people are not living, and they feel sad wherever they look. ”
"The grievance and grief is because the people behind us are powerless, and the soldiers standing side by side around us are killed and wounded, and we can only watch like this, except for helpless sympathy, but it cannot bring them the slightest hope."
Bai Yuxi's eyes were slightly red, looking at the soldiers resting in the barracks under the city wall, no matter how big or small the battles she had participated in now, she knew the cruelty and sadness on the battlefield.
The soldiers of the Three Realms can stand here together and defend their homeland together, but because they have a common belief in their hearts, they are the support of thousands of Li people behind them, and they are the last line of defense in this world!
A light rain fell from the sky, but it could not wash away the blood stains after the war, nor could it dissipate the wandering souls, but only made the already bad situation worse!
Yin Ye's expression froze: "The matter has come to this, don't talk about this, we can only do our best, do everything we can, let's go, discuss the strategy of waiting for a while, reducing casualties is now the top priority." ”
With that, the four of them turned their heads and left. The gale blew and whirred their robes. The war drums under the city are roaring, the war songs are rising, and the war drums are singing, as if they are seeing off every soldier who goes out on the expedition, and no one knows whether they can come back alive. They just want to sharpen the knife they hold in their hands and fight until the last drop of blood leaves their bodies!
"Yuxi, you can first talk about the attack on the plains yesterday."
Everyone looked at the military camp map, and they were very puzzled, the plains were the most impossible to ambush, and they didn't know how the demon clan did it!
Bai Yuxi stretched out his hand and pointed to the plain area with a serious face: "Right here, after I led my troops to break the enemy's army, I returned the same way back to the attack I encountered here." It is a desert, full of yellow sand, and you can see the end at a glance, and it is reasonable to say that it is the most difficult to hide. But... Those demon clans are like..."
When Bai Yuxi said this, even he couldn't believe it: "It's like... The yellow sand all over the ground was instantly condensed, and it suddenly got up from the ground, catching us off guard. Originally, there were eighty percent of the soldiers left behind in this battle, but they were suddenly attacked by the enemy, and only thirty percent survived in the end..."
"It's only thirty percent! That place actually depleted nearly fifty percent of the troops?! ”
When Lin Sushan heard this, his eyes widened like copper bells, and the people in the tent were only Lin Feng and the two generals who had been in the army all the year round, and they were the most heart-wrenching people.
As for Yin Ye, Xi Yuan and the others, they all looked embarrassed, and Yin Ye's eyes sank: "The strength of the demon clan is much more than we imagined, even if it breeds from generation to generation, recruits troops and horses, and does not stop for a moment, it is impossible to increase the Three Realms by hundreds of times... Now that I hear you say this, I'm afraid that this Sa Bisu must have thought of some way to reach the sky. Can... I still don't understand..."
When Yin Ye said this, he paused, as if he had encountered something that he couldn't think of.
"It is rumored that His Royal Highness the Demon Clan has the ability to reach the sky, and now the overall situation has been decided... Why not settle the battle quickly, but suddenly disappear completely and disappear without a trace... If the demon army has his command, how can we resist it. The emperor's body is dead, and Lan Zeyun is no longer within the Three Realms, so it stands to reason that this is a good opportunity to completely take over the Three Realms Territory..."
Xi Yuan followed Yin Ye's words and continued, it stands to reason that this is true, with his ability, how could he not know Lan Zeyun's whereabouts, but at this time, he was like evaporating from the world, watching the demon clan and the Three Realms fight each other, and he did not intervene... It's weird.
Half paid, and there was no one to speak in the tent, until the war song from under the city walls came in.
Yin Ye and the others collected their thoughts at this time, and the troops were ready to go, Yin Ye refreshed himself and said: "It's still the same as yesterday, but you have to be more cautious, by the way, each team has more soldiers and horses, divided into two teams, separated by ten zhang from each other, and pay attention to the movements around you at any time." In order not to be caught off guard by the sudden attack of the enemy, if there is really anything that cannot be resisted, immediately send a signal, and I will let the cavalry patrol around the city gate, in case of emergency, can be quickly rescued! ”
Yin Ye spoke, the three teams of men and horses have all received military orders, in the past three years, they have become familiar with this kind of life, the days of bloody resistance to the enemy are accompanied day by day, and they have almost forgotten the happy times in the past.
The gate was opened, and the army went out of the gate in order, and within a mile the troops were divided into three routes, each marching away.
And in the yellow spring, which had been silent for a long time, two figures suddenly came. Le Qi followed Lan Zeyun to Jiaoxi, where the original ten acres of delicate Manzhu Sawa are still in full bloom, incompatible with the decadent Tang everywhere.
The small wooden houses made of plane trees on the edge of Manju Sawa have now lost their former harmony and tranquility, and from a distance, they look like dilapidated old houses hidden in the darkness that have been uninhabited for a long time, and a thick layer of ashes has fallen.
Lan Zeyun looked at everything in front of him, his eyes sank, things are people, the past is like smoke, you can't chase it far away... Nowadays, all kinds of things always make people feel sad and sad.
Le Qi saw Lan Zeyun staring at that place motionless, and comforted him: "Although it is an old thing, it is not far away after all, when the war is over, you can regain the old mountains and rivers, they will come back, you are the same as me and me." ”
Le Qi said this, Lan Zeyun's mind finally settled down, and he turned around and said, "They call you Le Qi, but I definitely won't call it!" ”
With three points of possessiveness, Le Qi smiled: "They call me Le Qi, and the world calls me the emperor, but you are the only one who calls me down, okay?" ”
Lan Zeyun lowered his head and smiled, as if she was indeed the only one who called him like this, which was completely hers and unique.
"You... Don't you want to go to the peach garden in the back mountain? I have all your things for you, but I don't have the ability to regenerate the ruined peach blossom trees in that yard. ”
Du Luo looked at Lan Zeyun and asked, her eyes were full of pride.
Du Luo smiled: "That's it for today, even if the garden is full of spring, I don't think you are in the mood to appreciate it, it's better to wait for everything to be over, and you and I will repair it together." ”
Lan Zeyun nodded, as soon as she returned here, her heart was pounding, I don't know if those old friends are okay, she should have gone directly to meet them, but before that, she still has one more thing to do.
"Do you think they're looking for a good ending?"
Lan Zeyun and Du Luo crossed Jiaoxi and continued to walk forward.
Du Luo squinted his eyes, as if he had an idea in his heart: "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, what is it, we will know at a glance." ”
The two of them said and continued to walk forward, and after about half an hour, they finally appeared on the bank of the Lethe River.
Lan Zeyun looked at the Nai He Bridge on the Lechuan River with some doubts, no matter when he came in the past, even when the Yellow Spring was lifeless, this bridge was overcrowded. But now it is quiet, where are the souls who are ready to be reincarnated, and even Meng Po on the other side of the bridge is nowhere to be seen.
Lan Zeyun looked up at the sky and wondered: "It's still early, why didn't Meng Po's seniors come?" ”
Duluo's eyes sank, and he looked into the depths of the void, and then he respectfully waved towards that place: "There will be a time when we will gather and disperse, and the fate is exhausted, and it is cherished." ”
Seeing this, Lan Zeyun hurriedly learned to fall, and also bowed respectfully towards that place. The sun and the moon remain unchanged for eternity, and the morning and twilight are also. It seems that in a person's life, there are always some people who have only seen a few times and will never see each other again, obviously between each other, firmly connected by fate, but they go their separate ways, and even yin and yang are separated.
The water of Lethe River is still cold and biting, and it looks very gloomy. Lan Zeyun and Du Luo waited here for a long time, until the sun set, and they didn't wait for the person to wait.
Lan Zeyun looked at the deepest part of the Lechuan River, and suddenly sighed: "Okay, some things can't be forced after all, let's go, they are still waiting for us." ”
Hearing this, Du Luo raised his eyebrows: "Don't wait?" ”
"Don't wait, it's okay to do this, there are regrets, and there will be more hope and expectation."
Lan Zeyun spoke, and it was convenient to hold hands and walk away side by side.
The quiet bank of the Lethe River finally returned to its former dead silence, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, and a gray and white fog suddenly rose on the river, gradually covering the bridge.
"Squeak... Squeak..."
The sound of wood clashing sounded from the Lethe River, and through the mist, a dilapidated boat pushed the water from the Lethe River. The closer you look, the clearer it becomes.
The difference is that this small boat is actually walking slowly on the Lechuan River, and there is no one on the boat. If you look closely, you can only see two swarthy wine gourds, a bunch of dried acacia flowers, and a small bronze coin quietly placed in the center of the ship.
Year after year, morning and twilight, I only say that sometimes there must be in life!
