In the battle of Huangshan City, we were defeated, and the defeat was quite complete, not only lost a lot of troops, but also lost the city, in order to survive, we had to choose to abandon the city and flee. If it weren't for this masked soldier, I would have died there in a long time.

After leaving Huangshan City, he kept flying forward with me, not knowing where to take me. Because I had a serious injury, I didn't talk to him, but chose to heal myself quietly.

I closed my eyes, I don't know how long, until I heard the voice of the queen and the others. The first thing I saw was the Queen, who was safe and sound, then my daughter, and then my men.

Now we have only a few remnants left, probably tens of thousands of horses, but some of them are wounded. I don't know if there are anyone else but these people, and if they don't, it will not be easy for me to make a comeback.

For such an ending, I have an unshirkable responsibility, but now the responsibility is inevitably a little useless. After some healing, my injuries have been relieved and there is no major problem. As for how I ended up here, the answer is obvious, the masked soldier sent me.

"Emperor Ming, it's great that you're okay, you haven't come for so long, we thought something happened to you, it really made everyone worry about death." One of the generals said with relief.

At this time, I don't want to think about anything else, I just want to see the true face of the person who saved me. If he were my soldier, I would definitely use him again, and if he wasn't, I would thank him for saving his life. If I could, I would be willing to fight side by side with him and work together to advance and retreat. If there are more people like him around me, it will definitely be a tiger with wings.

What I didn't expect, however, was that when I looked back, I didn't see any sign of him.

"What are you looking for?" The Queen asked.

"I'm looking for the guy who sent me here." I replied.

The queen asked strangely, "The one who saved you?" ”

I said, "Yes, I was looking for him, and if it wasn't for him just now, I'm afraid I would never have come back." ”

At this time, Beacon took a step forward and said, "We didn't see anyone else, we only saw you standing here, motionless, we thought you were waiting for us." ”

Eh, I'm speechless, what does the masked soldier mean, is he going to do good deeds without leaving his name? Since everyone didn't see it, then he did it on purpose, and the reason why he did it is probably only known to him.

Since he has left, then I won't say anything, I said, "Since you're gone, forget it." I don't think it's getting early, why don't you find a place to rest for the night? ”

Bacchus stepped forward and said, "Now is not the time to rest, for the enemy may come after us at any moment, and we must continue on our way." It won't be long before we reach White City, where there are our people, and it's safer than here. ”

I nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, then let's continue on our way." ”

So, we continued on our way. In the process of hurrying, I kept thinking about the masked soldier, who was he? Why save me? After being saved, why didn't you want to see me?

"Emperor Ming, what's wrong with you? He looks preoccupied. General Fan asked.

I replied, "I'm fine, I just feel sorry for everyone." ”

General Fan said: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, this time we are defeated, it does not mean that we will always lose, I believe that under your leadership, we will kill back sooner or later, and then the emperor's position must be yours." ”

In fact, what I care about is not what position I care about, what I care about is the Nine Slashing Magic Lamp, what I care about is the people related to me, money and status are all empty for me, but there is no one, and I will not force it.

So I don't agree with General Fan's words. If there really is the day he said, then there is, and it is not worth rejoicing. Of course, I will never treat all my brothers who have been born and died with me, not a single one.

"Stop!" Just when I didn't know how to answer, a sudden voice broke the silence.

I looked forward and saw the old man who was looking for the injured sika deer, and I wondered how he could have met him here. And why is he blocking our way? Could it be that he is really our enemy? No, if it was, he shouldn't be here alone, looking at his demeanor and expression, and he doesn't want to kill us.

I took two steps forward, came to him, and said politely, "I don't know what the old man does?" ”

I pinched my waist with both hands and said angrily: "What can I do, of course I'm looking for that thing." ”

The thing he said was the sika deer that I hadn't seen before, but when he was in the City Lord's Mansion, he had already looked for it, but he didn't find it, so I don't know what kind of trouble he was going to make here. I wondered, was that deer really that important?

I said, "Old man, haven't you already looked for it?" And didn't find it. Now we're on our way......"

The old man unceremoniously interrupted me and said, "Nonsense, if I had found it, I wouldn't have come all the way here to intercept you." ”

"You look for your deer, then why do you want to stop us in our way, do you want to be our enemy?" Beacon said loudly.

"It's not against you, but I'm stopping you because what I'm looking for is right here with you." The old man is categorical.

His words made me speechless, it was a person who was in a hurry, he was looking for a deer, how could it be with us? Could it be that it has been following us all along? It can't be, if it were, I should have been able to detect it, even if others couldn't notice it, but in fact I didn't notice it.

When everyone heard this, they looked around to see if they could find any trace of the deer, but they only saw people here, not the so-called sika deer.

I wondered, "Old man, are you mistaken?" There's nothing you're looking for here. ”

He said confidently: "There is absolutely no mistake, it is here, but I can't find it for a while." I decided, in order to find it, I decided to run with you until I found it. ”

Eh, I'm speechless, for a sika deer, he's gone. But that's okay, when we officially employ people, he is a master, and if he encounters a strong enemy, he will definitely help.

So, we continued on our way.

In the middle of the night, I couldn't help but ask him, "Old man, can you tell me why you're looking for that deer?" ”

The old man said without thinking: "Some things are best if you don't know, but it's not good to know, so you don't have to ask, and I won't say if you ask." ”

I don't know now, maybe I don't know him well, but I'm sure I won't know the reason for it soon.

I then asked, "Who are you, old man?" Judging by your skills, it's not ordinary. ”

The old man said, "It's none of your business, and you don't have to ask." Don't ask me anything, it's not good for you to ask too much. ”

Seeing that he spoke very seriously, I didn't say anything, so as not to annoy him, as if he had a stubborn temper.

In this way, we were relatively speechless, and continued to hurry, and did not close our eyes all night, nor did the old man. I wondered, since he was looking for the sika deer, could he find it if he followed us like this?

In this way, we drove for a day and a night, until the next evening, the gate of the White City appeared in front of our eyes, this is our territory, and we can finally rest after entering.

"Hurry up, everyone, there's Baicheng ahead!" Beacon shouted to the crowd.

We were in a hurry, we didn't eat or drink, and we were tired, and when we heard the words of the beacon fire, everyone suddenly came to their senses. Because after entering, not only can you rest, but you can also have a full meal. So, everybody picked up the pace.

Soon after, we came to the city gate, and a soldier standing on the wall shouted to us, "Who is this?" Get your name now! ”

"Emperor Ming is here, and he dares to make a mistake?" Beacon shouted.

"Recently, there has been chaos inside and outside the city, and there are many people pretending to be Emperor Ming, so we have to keep our eyes open so as not to be fooled."
