There is still an hour before the time for the change of shifts at the Daocheng Gate.

Xu Han woke up early, and the sky was not yet dark.

Xu Han thought about it slightly, then cultivated the "Shura Jue", and then operated the true qi in his body for a week according to the method of the "Dayan Sword Jue", and then he got out of the camp.

His physical cultivation has reached the fourth realm of the Zixiao realm, and his internal cultivation has also reached the third realm of the three-element realm. Combined, the power of the two is comparable to that of most of the cultivators in this world.

At his age, it is already a great thing to have such a cultivation, and in the whole world, I am afraid that demons like Mengliang Chen Xuanji can overpower him.

But in the face of a big war of this level in Dahuangcheng, Xu Han's cultivation couldn't do anything.

He's still too weak after all.

With this in mind, he walked slowly to the top of the city.

There, the elderly Lin Shouzheng and Chu Qiuli stood together, as if they were saying something, seeing Xu Han coming, the two separated, Chu Qiuli said hello to Xu Han, and left in a hurry.

"General Lin and Brother Chu know each other?" Xu Han stepped forward at that time and asked a little strangely.

"I know each other, I've dealt with them before. Lin Shou, who has always been serious, rarely played haha, perfunctory Xu Han.

Seeing that he didn't want to elaborate, Xu Han didn't ask, he looked at the military camp in the distance with deep eyes, then turned the topic and asked, "Is there any movement over there?"

"When the Imperial Kingdom was on duty during the day, I saw that the troops in the Muji camp were frequently deployed, and it seemed that more than 100,000 troops were stationed there..."

Xu Han was shocked when he heard the meaning of this.

Behind Mu Ji is Cui Ting's 500,000 army support, such a large number of troops... If Mu Ji is ruthless and attacked, I am afraid that Dahuang City will not be able to hold it for five days.

"Alas—" The old general seemed to think of this, and he let out a long sigh at that moment.

The sadness in his tone could be heard by Xu Han even a little.

Xu Han only noticed at this time that the man in front of him, who was crowned as the number one defender in the world, was already so old.

He was so old that his face was full of dense folds like an old tree, and he was so old that his body was always slightly arched inadvertently, as if his rotten spine could no longer support his body.

It's just that he is Lin Shou.

The name of the world's number one guard was added to him, and people always inadvertently forgot the fact that he was already dying.

Xu Han remembered some of the qi he sensed on Lin Shou's body when he came to this Great Yellow City just now.

He hesitated slightly, and finally asked, "Is there any hidden disease on the general's body?"

This is already an extremely obscure statement, the breath that Xu Han sensed on Lin Shou's body that day, the tone said that it was a hidden disease, but it was more like... Dead air!

He didn't know why he could feel this qi, but Hou Ling, Mr. Lu and others, who were obviously more than a step above him, still hadn't checked. With such a strange ability, he can probably only attribute it to the demon qi in his body, or the demon arm that the sea current has obtained for him.

Xu Han's question was obviously beyond Lin Shou's expectations, the old man was stunned at that time, and then smiled bitterly: "I'm old, it's not as good as when I was young..."

It was the first time that Xu Han felt dead in a living person, and Lin Shou's problem was obviously not that his body was not as simple as before when he was older, but the old general obviously didn't want to talk too much about this topic, so Xu Han naturally didn't want to delve into it.

"The general has barely closed his eyes in the past few days, and he still has to rest. The affairs of this city can also be handed over to the imperial general, and I think he is calm and calm, and has the demeanor of an old general. Xu Han said. This is somewhat overstepping, after all, how to distribute the power of Da Huang Cheng is also a family matter of Da Huang Cheng in the final analysis, and it is a little inappropriate for him to intervene as an outsider.

However, Xu Han's words were out of his heart, and he had no other thoughts, and Lin Shou was really tired in the past few days, thinking that he was worried about the war, seeing an eighty-year-old man like this, Xu Han felt a little unbearable in his heart.

But Xu Han's words hit Lin Shou's pain.

The old general let out another long sigh at that moment.

"If my family has half the ability of the lord of the house, why is the old man like this?" Lin Shou said meaningfully.

Xu Han was stunned for a moment, thinking of his relationship with that Lin Yuguo in the past few days, he was calm and serious, but he acted less decisively and assertively, thinking that there was such a grandfather on his head and sheltering him from the wind and rain, and he really didn't have to be as cautious as Xu Han.

Seeing that Xu Han was silent, and the old general didn't delve into this matter, he smiled slightly, and then said: "There is nothing to do at night, how about the mansion master and the old man go together?"

Although Lin Shou's invitation came a little suddenly, Xu Han did not refuse, and began to wander around the head of this big yellow city with Lin Shou.

......

The corpses under the city tower have been piled up in tens of thousands, densely placed together, looking like a hell on earth.

After a few days, many corpses gradually emitted a smell of decay, but the Mu Ji side had no intention of collecting the corpses for these corpses, and the Dahuangcheng side naturally had no such possibility. At this time of the day, it is a feast of wolves and vultures chasing carrion, and the sound of rustling accompanied by bursts of wolf howls comes from outside the city from time to time, and it seems quite permeable in the night.

"General, do you think the Great Yellow City can be defended?" asked Xu Han, who was walking side by side with Lin Shou at the head of the city, in a deep voice.

When Lin Shouyan heard this, he glanced sideways at the young man in front of him with a frown, and smiled slightly: "The mansion master already has an answer in his heart, why do you still want to ask me?"

Xu Han was stunned, and couldn't help but ask again: "Since you can't do anything, why does the general still have..."

Having said this, Xu Han hesitated.

Lin Shou, Xu Han has seen a lot, such as the sea current, such as Zhong Changhate, such as Song Yueming.

But he couldn't figure out what drove them to give up their lives to complete those so-called missions.

Xu Han, who has been a beggar for 12 years, understands very well that living is a very difficult thing.

If it's so difficult to live, why die?

"Why do you want to stay here and wait for death?" Although Xu Han's later words were not spoken, with Lin Shou's experience, he could naturally see through his thoughts at a glance.

Xu Han was silent for a moment, he didn't know if his question would anger this world-famous god general. But he really wanted to know the answer to this question, obviously there were many roads in front of Lin Shou, whether he escaped or surrendered, it seemed that it was better than waiting here to die. But why do you have to do something that doesn't have the slightest chance of winning even if you pay with your life?

However, it was obvious that his worries were a little redundant, and Lin Shou stopped his steps at that time and looked at Xu Han with heavy eyes.

"Does the lord of the mansion believe that there are ghosts after death?" he asked.

The question is a bit blunt and a little abrupt. At least Xu Han couldn't find any connection between this question and their previous topic.

"It's too mysterious, I don't believe it. But Xu Han still replied truthfully after a slight hesitation.

Lin Shou didn't care, "But the old man believes that the soldiers who followed me back then, there were hairy boys the size of the mansion master, and there were also old guys like Meng Tong. Many of them died, in different places, some were buried together, and some could not even be found. ”

"But sometimes I feel like they're still there, right next to me. ”

"It's like..."

At that moment, Lin Shou suddenly seemed to be a little older, and he looked up at the night sky.

The stars are shining brightly there.

"It's like stars in the sky, they're looking at me all the time. ”

"If I surrender the enemies they fought with their lives, when I die, when I get to the Yellow Spring Road, how will I have the face to meet them?"

When Xu Han heard this, he immediately fell silent, he didn't know what kind of expression to use, and what kind of words to use to comfort the old man in front of him.

"As for escaping...", but Lin Shou didn't wait for Xu Han to speak, so he opened his mouth again.

"The world seems big, but sometimes it's pitifully small. ”

"We fled, not to mention that no one came to defend this big yellow city, even if there were, how would they defend it, and whether they could defend it? ”

"Once the city is broken, the Great Xia Iron rode into the Central Plains, and the life of the slaves in the country is not easy. ”

"People live in this world, whether it is a good life or a bad life. ”

"But the old man thinks that only the life in his own hands is his own life, so why should he leave his life to others?"

Lin Shou said, the smile on his face became a little heavier, he looked straight at Xu Han and asked.

"Lord Xu, you say, is this reasonable?"
