Chapter 54: Laughing in Purgatory
readx;? Ah Fei d unsealer
The old man stretched out his hand to open the sedan curtain and let the rain hit his palm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's also a rainy night...... The fire burned red all over the sky. If my great-granddaughter were still alive, she would be so old, but I don't know if she could be as interesting. ”
Then he lowered his head and looked at the little guy on the side, and said in a deep voice: "You have followed me for thirteen years, have you ever been at peace in your heart?"
The little guy bowed his head and said, "It's like a mirror lake to stop the water." ”
The old man sighed and said, "Then ...... Let's pick up the discarded name again. ”
The little guy was infinitely excited in his heart, his expression changed rapidly, as if he had experienced countless spring and autumn in an instant, and then he suddenly calmed down and laughed softly: "I am a little guy in the old man's mansion, and this life is enough." ”
The old man was slightly stunned, then smiled wistfully, and sighed to the sky: "This rain may really be able to wash everything away and make everything transparent." ”
......
The next day, a large and mysterious caravan composed of officers kept entering and exiting the South City Gate, piling up truckloads of goods in the backyard of the Lu family, sending special personnel to protect them, and no one knew what they were.
On the same day, a seemingly most ordinary small garden in Linjiang City suddenly hung a plaque that everyone in the entire Great Jade Country knew.
'Wu, Sindh Palace'!
King Xinde, the only king with a different surname in the Great Jade Kingdom, has no ancients before, and ...... I'm afraid there will be no latecomers.
Wu is his surname, and it is also his name, he is called 'Wu' alone, and people only say him when they say the word 'Wu'. It's strange, but there is no one who doesn't understand the meaning of his name.
Wu, not only his name, but also the name of a country.
Once in the east, there was a country with the same status and strength as the Great Jade Kingdom -- the Kingdom of Wu, whose land was so vast that it would take a year for the fast horses to cross the country! The prosperity of its momentum is that the original Great Jade Kingdom can only claim to be a vassal country, and it has been dedicated year after year.
It is such a big country, but because of the mistake of a general, the loss of a war, lost most of the country in the battle of Nanyang Pass. Since then, the 'Battle of Nanyang', which has been recorded in the annals of the mainland, opened the prelude to the 60-year cruel and ruthless 'Battle of Annihilation' that was later called.
The result of this war was the destruction of a powerful empire, its complete demise. Since then, no one can know the country of Wu, and no one dares to call it Wu Min.
is also remembered by history is the name of the general who lost the world, Shangguan Haoyue.
Twenty years after Wu destroyed the country, a sixty-year-old veteran with only 3,000 soldiers and armor, claiming to be the youngest son of Shangguan Haoyue, went thousands of miles to the Great Jade Kingdom, and he was called Shangguan Qiu.
In the same year, Nanming dispatched a million-strong army to raid the southern county of the Great Jade Kingdom. One is a behemoth that has doubled its territory in twenty years, and the other is a rich and noble country that has been pampered and pampered, and from the very beginning of the war, it has been a one-sided situation, and the Great Jade Kingdom is in a precarious situation.
But at this time, Shangguan Qiu still only brought these 3,000 soldiers, but he suddenly rose up, directly inserted into the army of the Southern Ming, tore a rift from the encirclement and suppression of millions of troops, escorted the lord of the Great Jade Kingdom who was personally conquered by the imperial driver, and divided his troops into two roads in a place now named 'Guardian Cliff', and led hundreds of thousands of troops to pursue with the only remaining 1,300 armor.
At the end of the road, Shangguan Qiu led the last 800 soldiers to break through the cauldron and sink the boat, and rushed out of the hinterland of Nanming with an indomitable counterattack......
For two whole years, when Shangguan Qiu returned to the Great Jade Kingdom again, he cried out of sorrow on his crotch, fell to the ground and died, he fell under the horse, covered in blood, and was in a coma for seven days and seven nights.
When he woke up, no one asked him what he had done in the past two years, no one asked where the 800 soldiers were, and no one asked why he had just run back alone. Because...... Everyone's attention was drawn to a tattered cloth bag around his waist, or rather, to what's inside.
Is that...... The head of the lord of the Nanming Kingdom - Shen Nantian!
It was not until this time that the people of the Great Jade Kingdom knew that Nanming's retreat a few days ago was not because the lord of the country was seriously ill, and the second prince of Nanming, who Nanming personally led the troops to recruit, did not want to fulfill his filial piety and go back immediately.
Since then, the Southern Ming Kingdom has fallen into civil strife, giving the Great Jade Kingdom decades of tranquility. In this tranquility, the Great Jade Kingdom has finally become a powerful country that can intimidate the surrounding countries with force.
Shangguan Qiu, a name that neither the Great Jade Kingdom nor the Southern Ming Kingdom would forget, but was abandoned by himself. He personally asked the lord of the Great Jade Kingdom to change his name, using only the word 'Wu'.
He said it was atonement for his father's sins.
The father's debt is repaid by the son, accounting for the word 'faith'. The revenge of the country is a word of 'virtue'.
With a stroke of his pen, the first king of the Great Jade Kingdom gave the only king with a different surname, King Xinde, and his signature always wrote the word 'Wu' in front.
Wu, King Sindh.
But it was this prince who suddenly died of old age thirteen years ago, and his family moved to the bank of the Han River, near the river, and never left home. And the so-called 'whole family' turned out to be only two people, one himself and one servant, nothing more.
Now, the plaque of the Sindh Palace has finally been hung, as if to herald some kind of change, to the delight of some people, to the horror of others, but no matter what, everyone knows that this sky that is constantly raining is not what it used to be.
......
Seven days later, the rain stopped.

But people are still coming.
The victims, mighty, spread out of the horizon like a torrent, covering the whole heaven and earth.
Guo Qilin, the new Taishou of Linjiang City, was just a stunned kung fu, and the streets and alleys were already full of homeless beggars, so when he ordered the city gate to be closed, the victims who had been hungry for many days had infinite strength and almost pushed the city gate open, and finally used knives and guns, bleeding, and dyed the entire street in bright red, so as to extinguish the violence of the victims and finally seal the city.
All of a sudden, the city's grain stores, large and small, were doing a good job, but they chose to close their shops at this time, and even sealed their doors and windows with wooden planks and nails to prevent anyone from entering.
At the beginning, some of the good homes were still building sheds and soup kitchens, but after only two days, they gave up at the same time, and hurriedly ran home to seal the door of the house.
The originally lively Linjiang City suddenly became lifeless, because there were really dead people on the streets, and the scrawny victims walked among the rice shops with the last glimmer of hope, but they were disappointed again and again, and when they accidentally fell, or were knocked down by other victims, they could not get up again.
Inside Linjiang City is a dead city, but outside Linjiang City, it is purgatory.
The child sat beside his dead mother, rubbing his eyes and crying, but he could not shed tears, and his chapped lips were covered with blood.
A large pot by the side of the road is cooking what may be the last meal of the victims, filled with the children of the neighbors, or their wives and daughters. Every morning, a mother would secretly feed her child a piece of fatty meat, and then walk out of the shack, take the initiative to strip naked, stand next to the wooden pier, wait for the eldest brother who had helped her during the journey, cut herself into several pieces with a rough and blunt wood knife, and throw it into the boiling water.
If there really is an infernal hell, this is it.
"Why?!"
Lu Qian carried a heavy bag of rice with her thin body, looked at Lu Gaofeng who was guarding the door, and asked loudly.
"There are dead people out there!Our family has food, why don't we save them?!"
Lu Gaofeng's eyes were painful, but his face was resolute, he took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Linjiang City has more than 200,000 residents and 7,000 soldiers, which can be regarded as a big city. But at this time, there are millions of people outside the city! This is not a flood, this is ...... Siege!"
In the small courtyard, Xiao Ruan gently rubbed Lu Yu's forehead, she bit her lip, and then said slowly: "Really...... How many days will we have to wait?"
Lu Yu held her hand and held it in his arms, a little hard.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe coming to this world has softened my heart, maybe it's the warmth that makes my heart cold anymore...... To be honest, I can't wait for those days, even if ...... Hey,"
Lu Yu raised his head and looked at the sky, the cyan looked so clear, but Lu Yu clearly knew that a bigger storm was coming.
"Hey, four years of planning may be a failure today......"
Xiao Ruan smiled with relief, hugged him from behind, and said softly: "Even if you lose everything...... The young master also has a wife, a young lady, and a ...... Slaves. ”
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Xiao Ruan's face that was not beautiful, but felt happy no matter how he looked at it, and suddenly a piece of ice in his heart shattered, turning into a smile on his lips, and said loudly: "Yes, there are these...... Wasn't it enough?"
Xiao Ruan looked at his young master, tilted his head and said cutely, "Young master looks best when he laughs today." ”
