It was overcast and seemed to be raining lightly.

Dijin Port is already under the gloomy sky, like a silky light rain, crowded with people, gloomy clouds and miserable fog.

Hundreds of thousands of people stood on the pier, their eyes on the sea, where a flotilla, the side of almost every ship, was now crowded with a fleet of crying children, ready to pull anchor and set sail.

"Mother, I'm not leaving...... I'm not naughty anymore, I'm not going to you off anymore. Please, don't send me away, okay...... I'm not leaving......"

On the passenger ship closest to the dock, a seven or eight-year-old child was lying on the railing at the stern of the ship, he couldn't stop wiping his tears, stretched out his hand to the shore, and was already crying.

……

On the shore, a middle-aged Chinese woman was already in tears.

"Hua'er, mother doesn't blame you, mother never blames you, you are my child...... It's the meat that fell from my belly...... How could I blame you......"

She looked at the crying children on the boat and wept silently and muttered.

"Hua'er, keep in mind Your Majesty's instructions, you represent the empire, China, civilization, and hope! Grow up and be a man like your father! Remember to grow up well, study hard, and don't be too playful. You can't be as skinny as you are at home, you have to learn to take care of yourself! ”

She screamed and cried.

"But, mother, you're here too, why don't you go—"

The child cried out, as he struggled to maintain order and stretched out his hand to her mother with the help of several disabled Imperial soldiers who feared that he would fall into the sea.

……

"Hua'er...... Have you forgotten what Your Majesty just said...... You haven't grown up yet, and your responsibility is to continue my Chinese bloodline and Chinese civilization. But the responsibility of the mother is in the empire...... Even if the front line is defeated, the empire will not fall...... The empire also needs every citizen to do their best to use our blood, our life and death to tell the barbarians - Huaxia. Never give in! ”

"Go, my son...... To grow into a strong man, an excellent descendant of China! Finally, and more importantly, never forget your yellow skin, black hair and black eyes, and the scorching yellow blood in your veins! Your fathers will watch you from heaven, your father will watch you from heaven, and your mother will pray for you day and night......"

The middle-aged woman stopped crying, and her face showed an extremely resolute look. She muttered.

"Go ahead...... Go ahead...... Aunties and uncles will take good care of your ......"

She looked with envy at the few randomly selected disabled Imperial soldiers and military women among the criing children on the ship, and she muttered in a low voice again.

……

"Go, boys, my ...... Our...... Imperial...... National...... Future. ”

On a high platform on the dock, in a small circle surrounded by the imperial guards, the emperor in formal clothes with a sickly face stood there stubbornly, looking at the crowd and crying one after another. He muttered, his pale face trembling.

"Your Majesty...... You're still sick, you're still weak, and you've been standing for so long. The body will not be able to hold on, it's time to rest......"

A royal guard walked up worriedly, but asked in a low voice.

"No, I'm going to stand and watch the kids leave. Even if it is death, I will die standing up. ”

The Emperor's voice, though weak, was also resolute.

……

"That'...... He ordered the fleet to lift anchor. Let's let the kids go...... It's been so long......"

The guard sighed softly, but suggested again.

"Let them stay a little longer...... Look at the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and their fathers and mothers, and say a few more words......"

The Emperor silently looked at the dock.

A man was crying, and suddenly he ran out of the dock like crazy, and he found a place where the dirt was exposed, tore off his shirt and wrapped it in a piece of soil, and then tied it heavily, and threw it at the boat, which attracted countless people to follow suit.

For a moment, the crowd at the dock was already waiting for the Emperor's order, and it was about to rain in mud on the anchor pulling fleet.

The children, however, also cried, took the dirt bag thrown by their father and mother, carefully hid one in their arms, and passed it back in a heavy way.

There was an irrepressible trace of pain and guilt in his eyes.

……

"I'm sorry for them......"

He muttered, his form already crumbling.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty! ”

"Your Majesty, your body is important, don't hold on! If you have anything...... Tell us to ......."

Several guards immediately surrounded him, and they held the emperor and cried.

……

"Your Majesty, please give the order, the time is much beyond the Cabinet's plan...... The fleet was large, but there were so many children that they had to be transported in countless batches - if we did this every time, we might not be able to evacuate them all before the barbarians invaded the land. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, please take care. The former enemy of the empire always refers to the fact that there has been no news since the magic report of being raided by the barbarian war emperor, and it is likely that the battle situation is fierce, a large number of soul waves are interfered with, or the barbarian battlefield is blocked again. But more likely to ......"

"So, Your Majesty, take care of your health, even if the empire does not have a million army, there are still hundreds of millions of people! We will not die, let alone give in! ”

"But if you fall with it, it will collapse that day......"

Zhu Shoufu and Meng Gu, who had been silently gazing at the crowd with him behind the emperor, also stepped forward and persuaded in a low voice.

……

"I know, I know...... No, the body can't do it...... I'd love to see them again......"

The Emperor muttered.

"Order, the fleet lifts anchor."

He struggled to spit out a few words, closing his eyes in pain.

Dozens of seconds later, the whistle sounded, and the cries of the crowd suddenly became louder, echoing everywhere with the sorrow of life and death and the miserable cries of children.

The Emperor closed his eyes tightly at the sound of such a cry, and large tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes, and he was already in tears.

～～～～～～～～～

I don't know how long it took, and the fleet had long since disappeared from the sea level without a trace.

Some people have been nostalgic on the docks, mourning and crying.

Most of the people's faces were already with a kind of determination and solemnity, and they looked at the high platform and closed their eyes tightly. But it is a few glances at the emperor who has always insisted on standing.

They silently wiped their tears and bowed deeply to the figure on the high platform, but gradually began to disperse from the dock.

On the high platform, two guards tightly supported the emperor with his eyes closed, silently crying, everyone stood behind them, their eyes flowing with irrepressible sadness, but no one spoke.

Gradually, the dock fell silent, except for a few sporadic cries. The high platform also fell silent, and only the mournful whimper of the icy sea breeze remained.

……

"Your Majesty, the front line is urgent!"

A voice rang out on the high platform, breaking its dead silence.

The emperor's face turned pale suddenly, he opened his eyes, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and in an instant, a mobile phone was handed to him.

"I'm Xia Zhengze."

The Emperor said in a deep voice.

"It's time for the final verdict...... I only hope that they can withdraw a lot. Always refer to the ...... Annihilated. ”

Meng Gu looked at the emperor nervously, and he thought silently.

The crowd looked at him even more nervously, watching the Emperor's face begin to change suddenly.

"What!"

He exclaimed, trembling in disproportions.

……

The faces of the crowd suddenly turned white, and they looked at the Emperor in silence. I hoped that he would say something, but when I saw the emperor, I fell into a long silence.

"Your Majesty, that's the case......"

Yang Qi said with a wry smile on his face, he felt that his mouth was a little dry.

"What about others? Tell him to answer the devil's words! Tell him to tell me personally! I want to hear his voice! ”

The Emperor's voice was already extremely excited. The crowd around them was already extremely worried and began to wonder - what was going on? How much has it been withdrawn? Was there a big defeat?

"Who is 'he'? Isn't it Lao Yang's magic words to His Majesty? Isn't that old Yang ......?"

Meng Gu was taken aback, his face was already extremely miserable.

……

"I knew it was going to happen...... It's a long story, it's hard to tell......"

Yang Qi sighed inaudibly on the other end of the magic talk. He had already taken a sip from his teacup.

"That's right, Your Majesty............"

The Emperor listened quietly to Yang Qi's narration, and his face began to change wildly, sometimes worried, sometimes joyful, sometimes pale, sometimes excited, but gradually getting more and more ...... Eccentric.

"Too ...... That's an exaggeration......"

Eventually, he was already crying and laughing under the nervous gaze of the people, he muttered.

The crowd's hearts tightened suddenly—it's over...... Your Majesty said that it was too exaggerated...... Nine times out of ten, the situation is either very good or very bad, but it is good...... How can it be!

……

"Yes, Your Majesty, but not at all."

Yang Qi poured another sip of water over there, and he smiled bitterly.

"The three of them are now because of this, not only do they always refer to the blatant performance of the deep palace emotional magic drama, but they also seem to be getting more and more intense, and they are all walking sideways - now they always mean that everyone is cautious, for fear of touching the mold of the three of them."

"The staff department was uncertain about something and wanted to ask Chief of Staff Lin, so Chief of Staff Lin scolded the staff for 'asking me about this little thing'. Our Commander Xie, who seemed to have hit a wall again at His Highness's and was full of frustration and shook to the staff headquarters, was furious at the staff headquarters, "Don't ask Chief of Staff Lin for such a big thing", regardless of the fact that Sanqi Twenty-one scolded them again, several staff officers cried and asked me to be transferred to raise pigs. ”

……

"Her Royal Highness is also very powerful, she didn't see anyone, and I was bombed when I went. I had just spoken a few words of persuasion at the time, and His Highness just glared at me - I finally knew what it was like for the barbarians to eat the extreme cold gaze...... Not to mention anything else, it really doesn't have a great impact on a magic war of my level, but it seems to ignore the sudden drop in the temperature of the magic armor...... Hiss, cold to the bone. ”

"Now I always mean that they have been made miserable - if the battle is not decided, I may have been by the three of them."

Yang Qi shook his head with a wry smile. (To be continued......)
