Chapter 54: The Expedition
The tallest tower in the north city of the wolf city is the commanding height of the entire wolf city, and standing on it can take a glimpse of the bleak scene of dozens of miles of the ice field uninhabited area. Just like the absurd background of this unchanging millennium in this no-man's land, www.biquge.info tragic farce is always staged here. For thousands of years, this vast stage in no man's land has long been filled with the dry bones of countless fallen soldiers, and it has been soaked in the tears of countless ladies day after day. If we can bring together the blood and tears, I believe that we will be able to annihilate all the ugliness and darkness in the world.
At this time, there were two quiet figures lying on the head of the city, they were Guo Wu and Fu Tianlou. For some reason, the two who had always jumped out were unusually silent, and they looked motionlessly at the backs of the towering North City Gate, these were the soldiers of the wolf cavalry battalion, and they were ordered to enter the ice field to fight against the orc guard brigade.
On both sides of the city gate, fathers, elders, women and children were neatly lined up to see them off, and although there were many of them, they were still very quiet. They just silently bid farewell to these heroes of the empire. They stared carefully at these already familiar faces, as if to engrave them in their hearts. They believe that as long as they keep everyone in mind, then no matter where they are, whether they live or die, these soldiers will come back one day, because they were born and grew up in Sri Lanka, and there are people who miss them.
Born as people from the north of Xinjiang, farewell and conquest are the eternal themes of generations, from children, to adults, to old age, they can clearly count every expedition, every farewell. However, they can't tell you when or where the next time will be. Because every farewell and expedition may be the last.
Under the city gate, as a bearded knight passed by, a petite woman in the crowd walked out and handed over a beautiful purse, and suddenly there was a good-natured laugh from the crowd.
"I'll wait for you to come back!" the woman suddenly said loudly.
The bearded man took the purse, put it in his arms indifferently, and said loudly: "Rou Niang, don't worry, when a certain family has saved enough assets, I will welcome you into the door immediately."
"Bearded, you said this half a year ago, the money is not enough, brother will help you make it up! A knight next to him teased.
"Get out of you calf" The bearded man scolded, not daring to look at the woman's resentful eyes, and said loudly: "Don't worry, when I finish beating the orc cubs, I will marry you in a sedan chair." “
"Okay, you have to talk the talk. Rou Niang's eyes are firm, and most of the women in northern Xinjiang dare to love and hate.
"Don't worry, if he dares not to marry you, I will break his legs!" a majestic voice came, but it was the governor of Northern Xinjiang.
"Lord Governor!" Rou Niang, who dared to love and hate, suddenly saw the Lord Governor coming, and immediately became shy, and hurriedly retreated into the crowd shyly. Guo Zizhong smiled slightly, and hammered the bearded chest: "Take good care of the 'Zigui' given to you by the girl, and come back alive." ”
"Yes, Lord Governor!" Facing the invincible god of war in his mind, the bearded man hurriedly said.
......
At the head of the city, Fu Tianlou suddenly turned his head and asked, "What is 'Zigui'?"
"It's the purse that the girl gave to the bearded, it's a little tradition in the army, and it contains the soil of our wolf city, and maybe a wisp of her green silk. In northern Xinjiang, every soldier who goes out has such a small purse, no matter where they are fighting, as long as the soil is there, even if they die outside, their soul can come back! Therefore, as long as the purse is there, even if the bearded man dies in battle, Rou Niang will one day be able to wait for his soul. Alas, as a woman, she wants to tell the bearded man that he will not marry in this life. Guo Wu explained seriously.
"Do you believe it?" Fu Tianlou asked with a pursed lip.
"Of course, why don't you believe it?" replied Guo Wu without thinking, he took it out in his arms, and actually took out a purse, just to see that the fabric had long since lost its color, and it was obviously treasured for a long time.
"Wow, Brother Wu, which woman gave it to you, you haven't told me. Fu Tianlou said with a look of surprise.
"It was my mother, and she knew that I was going to go to war one day, so she prepared it for me very early. Ten years ago, when she was dying, she put this 'Zigui' in my hands-" Guo Wu's eyes were deep, and his voice was so flat that he couldn't see any emotion. However, Fu Tianlou, who knows him well, knows that his grief has gone deep into his bone marrow, and as long as he is alive one day, this pain will always accompany him.
"I like this kind of northern Xinjiang. Guo Wu looked at the soldiers who were traveling far away and the crowd of people who saw them off, and suddenly said softly. He stood up straight and said word by word: "One day, I want to make there no more wars, no more partings, and no more tears in northern Xinjiang, this is my Guo Wu's oath." He waved his hand vigorously, as if to engrave the vow in his mind.
"Brother Wu, I will definitely support you!" Fu Tianlou grabbed Guo Wu's shoulder and said, "Ah Heng will definitely support you too."
Thinking of the brother who was still unknown to him in the ice field, the eyes of the two dimmed. They have been grounded and are not allowed to take half a step out of the wolf city, which is an order directly issued by Master Yue Wuying. The two looked at the wolf cavalry camp on the expedition, and had to beat it on the city wall with hatred.
Suddenly, an old voice came: "All good children"
The two of them looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw an old general in a dark blue uniform walking up.
"Grandpa Boru," Guo Wu immediately straightened up.
"Hello General Bolu," Fu Tianlou also said respectfully.
The old man in front of him was very old, his gray hair had already turned into snow, the corners of his eyes were lowered, and his mouth was leaking when he spoke, but no one dared to underestimate this old man, almost all the generals of the empire were from his disciples, and the governor of Northern Xinjiang, Prince Wen and other imperial nobles, and even the current Emperor of Light were his personal disciples. The so-called good fighters may not be able to achieve great results, and the existence of this old man is of extraordinary importance to stabilizing the situation in the Empire.
"Ho-ho, boys, why don't you look like you're going to die, I'm not as good as an old man!" Bruch opened his mouth and laughed, and the cool breeze from the ice field poured into the old man's mouth through his sparse teeth, causing a cough, but he didn't care, and seemed very happy.
Guo Wu and Fu Tianlou's old faces turned red, for some reason, they felt like children in front of this old man, for fear of making a joke by saying the wrong half a sentence.
Admiral Berlu laughed and said, "What? The famous three heroes of Wolf City are like this? How can they look like a little lady? Could it be that they can't play without one of them? Don't worry, that one will definitely come back, he is not an ordinary person." Beru patted the two of them on the shoulder vigorously, he actually knew the name of the three of them in the wolf city, Beru paused and said, "However, this time my old man came, and there is a little friend who wants to introduce you to you." Admiral Beru suddenly waved his hand into the distance at the head of the city, and saw a slightly shy boy in a white silk dress walking up in the distance, about twelve or thirteen years old, with a round face, white and pure. That appearance is comparable to Fu Tianlou before going to the ice field, and at a glance, he knows that he is used to being pampered, but the graceful and luxurious temperament on this child is incomparable to Fu Fatzi.
The two looked at each other, wondering what Admiral Berlu had brought this kid for?
Bo Lu saw their doubts and introduced directly: "This is His Royal Highness Ye Yuan, the second son of His Majesty today, and he is also the future prince of the empire, and His Majesty will take the opportunity to announce this matter in the autumn." You don't have to be too formal, Your Highness has admired the scenery of Northern Xinjiang for a long time, and this time Your Majesty meant to let me take Your Highness to see the customs here. In order to prevent accidents, this matter has been kept secret. ”
Seeing that Ye Yuan had already arrived, Bo Lu pointed to Guo Wu and Fu Tianlou and said: "Your Highness, these two are the most outstanding heroic teenagers of the young generation in Northern Xinjiang, come, let me introduce you to you, this is Guo Wu, the son of the invincible famous general Guo Governor of Northern Xinjiang." “
"Brother Guo Wu is good", this chubby young man His Royal Highness is extremely polite.
"Hello, Your Highness!" Guo Wu also bowed slightly.
"This is the son of Fu Liye, the famous chaebol of the empire - Fu Tianlou"
"Brother Tianlou is good!" the young man also saluted.
Fu Tianlou also bowed slightly: "Hello, Your Highness!"
"In the past few days, you have been in and out of contact with each other a lot, and it is not appropriate for Your Highness to follow me, an old man, and I have lost my vitality. Okay, let's go play together, and remember not to let people know the identity of His Highness. ”
The two of them immediately made a bitter face when they heard this, and they had been doing it for a long time, asking them to be nannies for His Royal Highness the young man!
