Wang Yao fell into a trough that he had never experienced before.

In this disturbing night, destined to be unable to sleep, he sat alone in the far corner of the square, his head hanging against the cold high wall, his eyes vacant, and he did not move like a cast terracotta army.

In the blur, Wang Yao suddenly remembered that he had watched a very famous movie a long time ago when he was on Earth, called This Killer is Not Too Cold, and there was a very famous dialogue in it.

The little girl asked the killer, "Is life always so painful?" Or is it only in childhood? ”

The killer was silent for a moment, and said with a blank face, "Always. ”

The first time he saw this short but profound dialogue, Wang Yao was completely amazed, and he only felt that the killer was extremely handsome, because even in the face of a painful life, he would still be indomitable and strong!

At that time, he was young and didn't understand the suffering, and after watching the movie, Wang Yao only arrogantly thought that if he encountered a setback one day, he would say it so boldly.

As a result, he didn't expect that when this "pain" really came to him, he couldn't say as freely as the protagonist in the movie: "Yes, it's so painful." ”

Reality unceremoniously gave him a very loud slap in the face!

It was only at this time that Wang Yao realized that he was unable to bear such pain.

The robes who got along day and night were all killed, but he couldn't turn the tide and avenge them, because his strength did not allow it.

As the only soldier who knows the "truth", he can't tell any soldier, even the only remaining old friend 2 Da, he can only deliberately hide it, because reality does not allow it!

All kinds of unspeakable encounters and scruples made hatred, helplessness, and grievances nowhere to vent, and also made Wang Yao completely fall into negativity and confusion.

Should the "truth" be made public? What does the future hold? Become a hero, and then, like Zhuge Liang and them, abandon emotions and continue to trick the soldiers into selling their lives to death? What else should I do? Leaving Shu? Stay away from strife?

Wang Yao kept thinking deeply, like a lost lamb, unable to find the right path.

Slowly, the ugly hour of midnight passed, and the time entered the early morning hour. I don't know when it started, the deserted Highland Square gradually became lively, and there seemed to be people cheering faintly.

"Wei has surrendered! Their front line has already begun to withdraw! ”

"Roar! Our Shu Kingdom has won! ”

"Great! It's finally time to go home!! ”

The soldiers shouted and cheered excitedly, like a celebration of the New Year's holidays, and the atmosphere of ecstasy was everywhere.

Wang Yao didn't care about these. At this point, the whole square was full of laughter, except for the corner where he was leaning, which was as undisturbed as stagnant water.

The early morning fog began to spread in the canyon, and the dense water vapor wet Wang Yao's hair and armor, but he was still unaware, as if he had settled down.

Finally, when the first rays of dawn broke through the long night and shone into the canyon, a tall and graceful figure appeared at the highland intersection in the middle direction.

It was Luna, returning from the front of the Midlane.

The jubilant square slowly fell silent.

Under the light of the soft early sun, I saw the girl walking into this high ground with graceful steps, and in the fluttering of the ends of her skirt and hair, it was like the most holy angel descending on earth, beautiful and undesecrated, and everyone who saw it retreated to both sides respectfully, bowing their heads in respect.

On the other side, when the familiar faint body fragrance began to fill the air around him, Wang Yao knew that it should be Luna who had returned, but even so, he didn't look up at her, even if it was just a glance.

And Luna, who walked straight and just wanted to say hello, was a little sad when she saw this scene. But she didn't fail to understand that Wang Yao not only experienced nine deaths this time, but also watched his subordinates and companions being wiped out and unable to do anything......

The subtle silence lasted for three minutes, and suddenly, a pair of white and clean slender hands, holding a piece of hot rice balls wrapped in lotus leaves, appeared in front of Wang Yao's lowered eyes.

Wang Yao slowly raised his head, but saw the girl's pretty face smiling.

"Hungry? Eat a little, right? The corners of the girl's mouth curled slightly, and she said with a charming smile.

Wang Yao, whose head was wrapped in a white veil, opened his godless right eye and looked at Luna attentively; Although the girl's smile seemed to be no different from usual, Wang Yao still saw the worry and overwhelm in her clear and gentle eyes......

Luna is a very kind girl, so kind that she is not like a hero, she does not dare to mention anything about what happened yesterday, because she does not know how to comfort people, and she is even more afraid of irritating Wang Yao, so she can only use the most clumsy way to care about him.

How could Wang Yao not know what this stupid girl thought? So, despite not having any appetite, he took the food from Luna's hand, but still didn't speak.

And Luna didn't care at all, so she squatted in front of Wang Yao with her knees in her hands, watched Wang Yao eat a little bit, and stretched out a plain hand from time to time to gently wipe the dew from his forehead and hair for him.

At this moment, there is the warmth of affectionate paragraphs.

The flow of people was in a hurry, and the soldiers of Shu Kingdom in the past were stunned and stunned when they saw the intimate scene in the corner, but no one dared to stop and watch.

When Wang Yao finished eating, Luna took out another water bag and asked softly, "Do you want to drink water?" ”

Wang Yao shook his head.

Even though his lips were chapped from not drinking for a long time, he just didn't have the desire to drink.

Seeing Wang Yao's disheartened and depressed appearance, Luna's eyes became more worried, and she couldn't help but beg in a low voice, "You can just drink a little, okay?" ”

In the end, Wang Yao still drank a little water, but he was still silent.

Luna was anxious in her eyes, but she didn't know what to do. Just when he was at a loss, a small soldier also ran over at an inopportune time.

"Lord Luna, Master Strategist, please go over and open the teleportation matrix." The soldier stood in a military posture and said respectfully.

Luna was stunned for a moment, then bit her lip slightly, seemingly helpless about this coincidence.

Having said that, Luna has no reason to refuse, the portal of the canyon needs the joint efforts of multiple heroes to open, and she can't trap the entire legion's minions in the canyon battlefield just because she is alone, right?

In desperation, Luna could only say to Wang Yao: "That...... Yao, I'm going to open the teleportation matrix first? ”

This time, Wang Yao finally gave a response, but he only said two words: "Go ahead." ”

"Don't run around, as soon as the portal opens, go home first." After a few words of uneasy advice, Luna stood up and walked away step by step.

......

A quarter of an hour later, with a loud roar, a brilliant blue light covered half of the sky, and a grand miracle suddenly arose!

No less than 20,000 soldiers gathered in the Highland Square immediately cheered collectively when they saw that the teleportation matrix was opened. As victorious soldiers, they are always eager to return home, eager to share the joy in their hearts with their families and the people they want to protect.

"I didn't expect us to win the powerful Wei State again!"

"Brothers, the captain said, go back and ask him to drink!"

"Haha, then we're welcome!"

"Xiao Yun, back to Jingzhou, I'll take you to meet my parents, right?"

"Yo yo, what's the situation, you two are in a certain relationship?"

Everyone is eagerly discussing and playing with their partners, and they are extremely jubilant.

Only Wang Yao stood alone in the noisy sea of people, expressionless.

Wang Yao didn't know when he followed the flow of people through the teleportation matrix, and when he came back to his senses, the huge city had already appeared in front of him.

In Jingzhou City, there were even more enthusiastic cheers. People are shouting, singing and dancing for the return of the victorious army.

Only Wang Yao's face was expressionless, there was no joy or sadness.

"Excuse me, are you the commander of the seventh main force of the Upper Road Legion, Lord Wang Yao?"

In the midst of the noise and noise, someone suddenly walked to Wang Yao's side and asked him very respectfully.

It was a middle-aged man in his early 50s, with a face that had been exposed to the wind and sun, with good facial features, and a hunter's special animal skin jacket, probably because he had been drinking mountain spring water for a long time.

But Wang Yao didn't pay attention to him, and just walked forward on his own.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man followed, probably due to Wang Yao's cold attitude, his appearance became a little nervous, but even so, he still introduced himself to Wang Yao with a forced smile: "I'm really sorry that you came to disturb you just after returning from victory." Is it so, my daughter Mao, a centurion in your troops? ”

Wang Yao suddenly stopped, turned his head as if he had been shocked, and stared at the middle-aged man in front of him in disbelief. Take a closer look, the middle-aged man in front of him is really a little similar to Mao Mao!

"Really? So, you are really Lord Wang Yao, right? The middle-aged man quickly determined from Wang Yao's reaction that he was not looking for the wrong person.

However, before he could speak again, Wang Yao had a gloomy face and walked forward again.

The middle-aged man persevered and followed, because he was so nervous that he unconsciously began to rub his calloused hands back and forth: "My daughter has been taken care of by you, may I ask...... What happened to your left eye? Is the injury serious? And why didn't you see the rest of your men? ”

Seeing that Wang Yao had been saying with a cold face, the middle-aged man was embarrassed, so he could only continue to sing a one-man show with a smile: "Actually, I came to Jingzhou from our hometown this time on purpose, and I wanted to surprise my family's Maomao." Alas, that girl really made my father too uneasy, and I didn't know what was going on at the beginning, and suddenly I desperately clamored to come to Jingzhou with a few of her friends to join the army, and I couldn't stop that girl. You also know, the canyon battlefield is so dangerous, where can she come to a girl's house? Alas, it's all because I spoiled her since I was a child, and in the army, that girl didn't cause you any trouble, right? ”

Although the middle-aged man's tone was a little complaining and helpless, it was not difficult to find out that he was actually very proud and proud of his daughter.

And in the end, the middle-aged man's expression seemed to be a little more embarrassed: "This time I came all the way to meet our family, I don't just want to see our family, but most importantly, I still want to meet you." A month ago, Mao Mao's child suddenly sent a letter home, and his mood seemed to be very low, saying something like falling out of love, and saying anything, even so, I want to follow you and serve you for the rest of my life, haha, this stupid child, regardless of his parents' worries, is completely immersed in his own love......"

Wang Yao didn't answer the whole time, but with the words of the middle-aged man, his face became more and more gloomy!

And the middle-aged man is also so embarrassed that he can't be more embarrassed, and the young commander in front of him is really incompatible with the "approachable" image described in his daughter's letter.

How can you be so indifferent and unkind at a young age?

But even so, the old father still put down his body again and again, cautiously, and almost asked: "That's it, I don't know what you think?" Although my daughter is a little rude, a little willful, and a little arrogant, but in our hometown, this child is also a well-known little beauty, growing up so big, I haven't looked at other young people with my eyes, so it's a bit of a yellow woman selling melons, but I still believe that with my daughter's appearance, it should still be very popular in the army, right? ”

After a pause, seeing that Wang Yao had never been amissible, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, as if he had made some major decision, and forced himself with a wry smile: "Of course, I have also heard my daughter say, do you already have a lover?" Also, a good person like you became a commander at a young age, and there is no shortage of people to follow everywhere. But if you want, my daughter can make you a little ....... I'm getting older, I don't have too many wishes, and I just hope that my daughter can marry a good family she likes and live a good life......"

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world.

It's just that......

Facing this sincere and helpless simple man, as if to escape something, Wang Yao slowly quickened his pace, and soon, he left the middle-aged man far behind.

Wang Yao's feet are wearing the feet of the shadow ninja with a movement speed of +60 points, if he really wants to get rid of it, ordinary soldiers can't catch up at all, let alone a middle-aged man who is over half a hundred years old.

The piercing words grew farther and farther away until they disappeared into obscurity. However, at that moment, Wang Yao felt that his heart was dripping blood silently......

......

In a trance, I returned to the pavilion in Jingzhou.

When he opened the door, he sat down on the table and chair, holding his forehead and falling into silence......

And when the time began to approach noon, there was a noise at the door.

But the person who came was not Luna, nor Huang Zhong, but a strange soldier.

"First time we met, Commander Yao, I am a discipline inspector who is responsible for the internal attendance of the seventh main force on weekdays." The little soldier didn't salute, and even his eyes were a little cold: "I'm here to convey the latest instructions from the high-level." ”

Wang Yao raised his head and looked at this discipline inspector he had never seen before, but he was closely related to him.

"Wang Yao, the commander of the seventh main force of the original Shanglu Army, did not abide by military discipline and left his post without permission during the war against Wei, resulting in the death of thousands of soldiers under his subordinates due to improper command, causing immeasurable losses to the legion, and the crime is unforgivable! According to the laws and regulations of military discipline, he should be sentenced to death to correct military discipline, but in view of his outstanding performance and repeated miraculous achievements, he was pardoned for capital crimes, and only exploited his position as a commander of a thousand commanders, demoted to an ordinary soldier, and made meritorious service for his crimes! ”
