Chapter 4 The general is willing to die for the people
Dingyuan Pass, the world's first Xiongguan.
Unlike most Guancheng, the reason why Dingyuan Pass is so famous is that it has truly kept all the Northern Plains alien races out of the Central Plains.
Because the place where Dingyuan Pass is located is the only passage for the north to go south, and there are steep mountains and forests on both sides of the city, the iron cavalry of the alien race in the north has no way to give full play to its advantages, and the central area is all blocked by the city wall of Dingyuan Pass, so that the iron cavalry of the north yuan can't even go around.
So the only way for the North Plains Iron Rider to go south,
It is to break through the Dingyuan Pass.
"However, since the founding martial saint Lu Xingzhou tied the horse to Lishi here in the past, Dingyuan Pass has not been broken by those barbarians, and it has been the case for a hundred years!"
Walking into Dingyuan Pass, the person responsible for receiving everyone was a young soldier who was strong and stubborn.
His cultivation is not high, only the body refining realm, but the armor on his body still has undried blood stains, and Sen Han's murderous aura makes people almost dare not look directly.
"You're all here in response to a hero's post, aren't you?"
"Come with me, I've got an hour to take care of you, and then there's a new shift coming, and I've got to go to the city defense."
"Oh, there's more."
The soldier paused when he said this, and then pointed to the city gate standing at Dingyuan Pass facing the Central Plains, and there, there was a huge brown rock, the rock itself was nothing special, but when he saw it, Chang Qing and other retired veterans immediately stood up straight.
As for Xuanyuan Hong and the others, who didn't know why, the soldier explained:
"A hundred years ago, the Northern Plains Iron Cavalry once wreaked havoc in the Central Plains, and was finally driven back by the Founding Martial Saint Lu Xingzhou, and at that time, the Founding Martial Saint rested here."
"It's his tethered stone."
"Dingyuan Pass stands here, and the tethered horse stone faces the Central Plains, which symbolizes the northwest of Yongzhen of Dingyuan Pass, which is of great significance to our Dingyuan Pass."
After the soldier finished explaining, everyone suddenly realized.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers had to take everyone into Dingyuan Pass, of course, during which the crowd was also classified, some people were like Xuanyuan Hong Changqing, who aimed at fighting in battle, and some people were used as caravans to Dingyuan Pass to transport food, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune.
But in any case, Dingyuanguan has made a unified distribution.
And at the same time-----
"Hey! Lao Lu, I'm going to follow Old Man Chang to the arsenal to get weapons. ”
I saw Xuanyuan Hong walking over with his miscellaneous thin horse, and with a wave of his big hand, he suddenly stuffed the reins of the thin horse into Lu Xingzhou's hand:
"I can't say anything before leaving, so I'll send Lao Bai to you to take care of!"
"Send me?"
"That's right." Xuanyuan Hong nodded, and then stepped forward and said: "I said Lao Lu, don't be stupid, you are different from Old Man Chang, you are not a master of the blood and qi realm, these are all sixty or seventy years old, isn't it good to enjoy the old age, Dingyuan Pass is so big, there is no shortage of you."
“.........”
Seeing that Lu Xingzhou didn't speak, Xuanyuan Hong thought that he had agreed, and immediately patted him on the shoulder: "The saddle should be regarded as Lao Lu, you gave me such a good idea of storytelling as a return gift, and gave it away for nothing, no money!" Wait until I kill a few barbarians and become famous, and then come back to you for a drink. ”
After speaking, Xuanyuan Hong left quickly, looking at the back, he was a little impatient.
And Lu Xingzhou watched the other party leave, and then looked at the thin horse beside him, and his eyes turned, but he fell on the reins of the saddle.
A moment later, Lu Xingzhou reached out to unbuckle the horse's reins, but took out a cloth bag from under the saddle.
The bag was full of copper coins.
“.... No wonder you run so fast. ”
Lu Xingzhou shook his head with a smile, tied the copper coin bag tightly and stuffed it into his arms, and then led the thin horse named "Lao Bai" and left the place.
Although Dingyuan Pass is very large, Lu Xingzhou is no stranger to it.
As the soldier said,
Dingyuanguan itself has a great connection with him, the year he was awarded the founding martial saint, he crisscrossed the east and west, north and south, and did not know how many things.
Indeed, the stone of the tether at the gate of the city was his.
And the reason for leaving that thing is actually the same as the reason for leaving the town boundary monument in Nanban, it's just that I wanted to pretend to be forced at that time. And so it did. So to be honest, when he heard the soldiers talk about the history of the tethered horse stone, Lu Xingzhou was even a little dark in his heart.
"Hurry up! The formation on the side of Jingyuan Tower needs to be repaired immediately! ”
"Don't mention it, there's a problem on Weiyun Tower."
"Anping Building is out of order! Hurry up, hurry up! ”
Leading the horse, Lu Xingzhou walked silently on the streets of Dingyuan Pass, surrounded by soldiers coming and going, each with solemnity and nervousness on his face.
Walk through the crowd.
Walk through the streets.
Soon, a huge mansion appeared in front of Lu Xingzhou, and the plaque with the word "Dingyuan" on it made Lu Xingzhou even more inexplicably emotional.
There is no other reason.
He wrote it.
Lu Xingzhou stood outside the mansion for a moment, and then led the horse and strode into the mansion, while the sentry at the door seemed to have no idea of him at all.
................
"General, the formation of three buildings on the twelfth floor has completely failed, and if it continues like this, I'm afraid that tomorrow the Beiyuan side will really attack."
"I understand."
In the Dingyuan General's Mansion, as a veteran stationed in Dingyuan Pass for more than 70 years, Wang Qingyun, who is already a hundred-year-old governor of the Dingyuan Army, sighed deeply: "Pass the order, kill the cattle and sacrifice the army, let everyone eat a good meal, from tomorrow, it will be a real battle to the death." ”
"Yes."
After his subordinates left, Wang Qingyun buried his body in the Taishi chair, and when he turned his eyes, he looked at the far corner of the room, and there, he saw a snow silver battle ge lying horizontally on the table, and at the end of the battle ge, an ancient seal character could be faintly seen.
Bang! The sound of the door opening suddenly sounded.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Qingyun turned around when he heard the sound and said subconsciously, but what stunned him was that it was not any deputy general he knew who walked into the room.
Rather, it was an old man in a gray robe.
“.....!!!”
In the next moment, Wang Qingyun shook his body violently, and the qi and blood in his whole body were like a volcanic eruption at this moment, as if he was about to directly explode the entire study.
However-----
"Although I know you admire me very much, you don't have to put my things in the study, as if I am already an old man."
“........”
A hazy haze drifted along the old man's voice, and everything was quiet everywhere he passed, even suppressing the qi and blood in Wang Qingyun's body. However, at this time, Wang Qingyun couldn't care so much, he just looked at the familiar and unfamiliar face of the old man with a dull expression.
After a long moment, he hesitated to speak:
"General?"
"Hmm."
Looking at Wang Qingyun, who was already too old compared to more than 90 years, Lu Xingzhou smiled slightly: "I didn't expect you to really become a general." ”
In a trance, Lu Xingzhou seemed to have returned to the past.
It was a scene he had seen in the illusion of the Eternal City. At that time, he had just repelled the Northern Plains, but when the class returned to the court, he encountered a group of refugees, so he temporarily changed the route of the march, and personally led the troops to send the group of refugees to the nearest city.
During this time, he met a child.
He was only six or seven years old.
His father was killed by the aliens of the Northern Plains, and he became a refugee with his mother, and at that time, the child swore to the original body:
"I want to be the same person as you in the future!"
"I'm going to be a general, too!"
"Beat all those brutes away!"
At that time, the original body encouraged the child a little, and said that if he really became a general, he would definitely give him a big gift at that time.
After that, it's clear at a glance.
The original body was trapped in Fuyun Mountain, even if he learned that the former child really became a general, but he couldn't go in person, after careful consideration, he used the most convenient and frequent weapon as a gift in those three years of warfare, and then sent it to Dingyuan Pass.
This is the regret of the original body.
It's not an obsession.
But it's cause and effect.
Looking at Wang Qingyun's constantly and violently changing face in front of him, so much so that it even looked a little distorted, like orange peel, Lu Xingzhou couldn't help laughing:
"You don't have to be so excited, do you? And now I'm not a general, I'm just a puppet. Rather, you're the general now. ”
“.........”
Wang Qingyun is not the child of the year after all, after a short period of excitement, he finally calmed down, but the title of Lu Xingzhou is the same as always: "For me, the general will always be the general, but I thought that the general's health in recent years was not very good...."
"Hahaha."
Lu Xingzhou smiled even happier when he heard this.
Sure enough, as he expected, Wang Qingyun probably didn't know anything about what was happening in the Central Plains, and his eyes were only on the north from beginning to end.
As it has always been for decades.
"Congratulations."
Lu Xingzhou said with a smile, the original body has never been married in a hundred years, and after a hundred years, he is even more alone, except for everyone who is looking against the sky, only Wang Qingyun and him have cause and effect in Fuyun Mountain. And after meeting this time, he officially ended this cause and effect for the original body.
So then, it's his own personal will.
"I read your hero post." Lu Xingzhou walked to the side of the room, looked at the snow silver Zhange he had used, and suddenly reached out and lifted it up.
"Mind adding me one?"
This northward trip is for a period of cause and effect, and by the way, I will revisit the old place.
Where is it?
