Chapter 183: Worthy of Guilt
The matter of the Xu family ended in a way that no one expected, everyone present was given a gag order, and only a few words came out, but it was enough to shock the whole city.
On March 30, the flow of people on the banks of the Spiegel River peaked.
Tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle, and this much-anticipated battle has finally come to an end.
The most authoritative data shows that the flow of people in Spiegel Lake skyrocketed, surging sharply for six consecutive days, and finally broke through the 600,000 mark on the eve of the decisive battle.
600,000 people.
No matter what the purpose is, they are all here for the Dragon King.
"The First World War caused hundreds of thousands of onlookers, which is why the Dragon King has such a great influence."
"The husband should be like this, when can we have such a day, it's really worth dying."
“……”
Mingjing Lake was named 800 years ago, it was only a small lake at the beginning, and then after several dynasties to expand the territory, years after years of conquest, and finally forced out this vast river and mountain.
Inheriting the baptism of wind and frost over the years, there is no way to refer to the specific size of today's Mingjing Lake.
Get on the boat from the west bank, go all the way to the east, the mountains surrounded on three sides, there are enough thousands of people, every rainy season, the fog in the mountains is boundless, the air outside the mountains is fresh, picturesque, like a fairyland.
Over time, Lake Spiegel has become one of the most iconic places of interest.
Over the past hundred years, there have been countless celebrities and celebrities, and they have mentioned popular poems here.
There are also countless sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, who climb high and look far away here, drink and talk happily and are full of ambition, and swear by Mingjing Lake that they will surely rise steadily for the rest of their lives, and rise rapidly in this world-famous national capital, until they become kings and hegemons.
Drunk and dreaming of death, children are long.
In the end, how many rangers in the rivers and lakes had a mess, and finally ended miserably, and since then the long sword has been returned to the sheath, and the words 'breaking through the rivers and lakes' are never mentioned again.
The world is full of people from my generation, and there are always only a few real romantic figures.
When you see the facts, you can only look up at those peerless beings who don't see the end of the dragon, and imagine that they are the ones you once were.
The reason why this covenant war attracted so many ordinary beings is that they have been more or less awakened to the dreams of the rivers and lakes that were once buried in the bottom of their hearts, unspeakable, and gradually rotten with the cruel time.
In front of Spiegel Lake, rain and rain are endless.
A kilometer-long causeway that stretches into the center of the lake is surrounded by undulating waves.
Today's wind was a bit strong, and the waves washed over and over the old splints that covered the causeway.
The sun swept down, and the Ye Ye shining.
At the end of the causeway, in the center of the lake, an old man with gray hair was sitting under a pavilion with ventilation on all sides, holding a bunch of fishing rods, silent in thought.
The old man's body is unusually tall, even if he sits there quietly, he still gives people a majestic momentum that swallows mountains and rivers like a tiger.
is not angry and self-assured, just like Vajra manifestation.
On the left hand side, a dark wooden box, about two meters long, has been leaning there since Cao Tianwen arrived at Mingjing Lake, it is like a wooden dumb servant, has been with the old man for decades of life.
On the right-hand side, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, instead of wearing modern light clothes, is wearing a retro green robe, with a delicate appearance and a little immature.
Because she was worried about disturbing her grandfather fishing, the girl who was in her prime turned to face Cao Tianwen, and then buried her legs in Mingjing Lake, the water was murmuring and the breeze was blowing.
The girl smiled, stretched out her arms, and embraced the sun in the sky.
"Yunrui." The old man raised his wrist and suddenly called out.
"Huh?" The girl suddenly turned her head and smiled even more.
The girl, whose real name is Cao Yunrui, quickly picked up her legs, and then approached Cao Tianwen barefoot, leaned over and smiled: "What's the matter?" ”
Cao Tian asked and smiled: "You don't have to come over to accompany grandpa tomorrow." ”
Cao Yunrui pursed her lips, she didn't seem to be very happy, she squatted silently in front of the old man, with a pair of smart eyes, looking at the fishing line on the lake from afar, she had been fishing for more than half a month, but not a single fish was hooked.
I don't know if it's because my grandfather's skills are too poor, or because there are no fish in Spiegel Lake.
"In the future, when grandpa is away, you have to learn to be strong, independent, and most importantly, you are not allowed to cry at every turn, you know?"
After a lot of talking, there were signs of explaining what was going on.
The girl's face suddenly lost color, her pink cheeks gradually turned white, and then her hands tightly wrapped around Cao Tianwen's arms, and in the depths of her pupils, tears flashed.
"Grandpa." Cao Yunrui called in a low voice, and her mood fell to the bottom.
Cao Tianwen stretched out his hand and stroked Cao Yunrui's little head, and said with emotion, "The old man raised ten sons in his life, and he didn't have your father until he was sixty years old, and then twenty years until you were born, and you accompanied the old man for the rest of his life, it's worth it." ”
"Grandpa is old, it's time to settle down."
People are dying, like falling leaves returning to their roots, and this time Cao Tianwen didn't plan to go back alive.
Because, the world said that he had gone out of the ordinary.
But in fact, he is still one step away from being outdone.
is just such a trace, doomed his body to death.
But for the sake of the family, there is no way, anyway, it is estimated that there is no hope of breaking through, and in the end, it is a well-deserved death to make some contributions to the family with a crippled body.
In the last battle in his later years, he was able to fight head-on with the Dragon King, and he didn't lose.
"Bring a word to your father, after I die, I must not take revenge." This sentence contains a commanding tone.
The fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl finally realized that her amiable grandfather was really going to leave her, and she burst into tears in the blink of an eye, and she was pitiful.
This peak decisive battle, which has been rare for decades, is very important in the eyes of ordinary beings.
In the hearts of countless warriors, it was a battle that would go down in history.
Whether it succeeds or fails, it is destined to be of great significance.
But as far as the girl is concerned, she doesn't care, she just takes this opportunity to go out on a long trip with her grandfather, and take a look at the fireworks in this world by the way.
A fight to the death? Jianghu war? Where does the girl know this?
"Yunrui." The old man called again.
The girl wiped away her tears and whispered, "I'm here." ”
"When you grow up and be sensible in the future, you will understand how great and admirable the person who is about to fight me."
At this point, Cao Tianwen paused and said with emotion: "He knows the meaning of the words family and country better than your grandfather and me, and he has taken action for it." ”
"Knowing that he is dying for a lifetime, he still doesn't look back."
Cao Yunrui let out a sobbing sound and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, why don't we fight him?" Why are we fighting him? ”
The spring waves are rippling, and the tide is gradually disappearing.
Cao Tianwen smiled bitterly: "The rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes, the people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves." That's why I admire that kid, who is strong in blood, not afraid of wind and rain, not afraid of ghosts and gods, only for this life, with a clear conscience. ”
It is worthy of the magnificent mountains and rivers, worthy of the Taiping family and country, worthy of all living beings, and worthy of the heart.
At the end, Cao Tianwen seemed to be emotional, and seemed to be envious: "It's so good to be young......"
