Episode 184
The forward battalion of General Lao under the command of Pei Guokou Sima.
General Wu was marching, and a thin horse beside him was walking silently. His brow was slightly furrowed, his ugly face was dull and black, and it was obvious that he was in a very bad mood. Nearly half a year of companionship, during which there are many people who have helped everyone! However, at this point of crisis, everyone is afraid to avoid it, but they will force themselves to die! If the ugliness of human nature is not touching, he does not sigh:
"Alas, husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately in the end of the great disaster! ”
"Hey, boy, what do our generals ask you about!"
Insufficient seemed to be surprised:
"Oh, oh! I am afraid, please forgive the general. ”
"That's it, and tell General Ben about the night river carefully. ”
"Yes! At the time of the Night River incident, the people of our dart bureau had already crossed the Night River for several days! But the weather was suddenly as cold as winter, and we were so frightened that we did not dare to go any further, so we gathered around and stayed by the side of the road to take shelter for a while. After a few days, when the sky returns to normal, we will do it again. But I met a hundred and ten people, and one of them was an old man who forced us to accompany us. To the night river, not to mention the lives along the way, the empty alleys in the city, as silent as a dead city, that is, the old man has been sad until. We were terrified and frightened, but we followed the old man and burned the dead bodies out of the houses. After that, we went out of the city until we met the general. ”
It is said that it is not a day for the grandfather of that country and my family to fight for the court, and this time we should be very happy, but the general seems to feel that this matter is not small, and there are boundless doubts. ”
It is not enough to say:
"Cough cough cough! General, Xiao Ke has a word, I don't know if the general wants to hear it?"
"Please!"
"General, if there is a gap between Grandpa Guo and Kou Sima, then when the court still doesn't know about the Night River incident, it's better for the general not to be stationed in Night River!"
"What?"
"General, if the people in the center of the court spread rumors and slander, then Kou Sima is fine, is it true that the generals and others are also fine?"
"What do you mean?"
"General, if there is humanity, the Night River Incident was the result of a surprise attack and massacre of the city by his own family, I don't know who can be the scapegoat?"
"Stop, stop, stop, camp on the spot!"
General Nawu returned to his horse and went to the rear army. Half a day later, he returned, urging his subordinates to return to the army. No more looking into the events of the Night River.
I didn't want to say goodbye, but General Wu didn't allow it. The Tao is to wait for its peak General Lao to ask for the holy decree.
Another dozen days.
One day, when he was helping the groom to feed the horses, he suddenly saw a horse flying up, and the soldier on the horse said in a loud voice:
"Report! The general has an order, and the forward battalion will immediately fly and ride into the Night River, and there must be no mistake!"
So he got up and marched forward with General Wu and other officers and soldiers of the forward battalion. However, more than ten days have been in the night river. The outpost scout came to report that the night river was indeed an empty city.
When the army entered the city, the streets and alleys were empty, and the chill in the city did not retreat, just like the elite of the forward battalion, they were already shocked.
100,000 people!
100,000 people disappeared silently!
A day later, General Lao arrived in person.
His people carefully inspected the night river for three days, and then sent Pegasus to report the situation to the imperial court. Even though the people who came to the court were famous, they really had nothing to do with the shortcomings. It's just that they are not allowed to leave, which is really a big problem!
"Wu Na man, what is your surname?"
It was when he was bored, and suddenly General Nawu summoned him to ask questions.
"Xiao Ke Jinzu, the dart master of the Iron Lance Dart Bureau. ”
"Well, thank you for the reminder. Today, I was promoted to General Zuo by Kou Sima. ”
"Congratulations General. ”
Lack of laughter.
"It's just that General Lao doesn't seem to be in good color, I don't know why?"
"General Wu has no worries. General Lao was just not used to it, and soon his mood was smooth. ”
"Humph!"
General Nawu snorted coldly.
"General Wu, I don't know when Xiao Ke can leave?"
"Well, I'm afraid I'll have to wait a little longer. But from this day onwards, you will be free to enter and leave the barracks, and you may also go to the great city of Night River. ”
Insignificant:
"Thank you, General. ”
Then he walked out of the barracks and went to the inn where he had previously lived.
The stone carving of the cow on the street corner is still there, and only the lines of the magic circle called 'ant collapse' are still there, and when the magic circle was activated, the immortal materials of the array have been consumed. Therefore, its position has long been nowhere to be found. Then he turned the street and went to the "Night River University Hall".
In the first time, the people who followed the god forbidden door to protect the law and Wuyang, entered the school to carry the dead bodies of the students in the academy and burned them, and saw that there were many old classics left in the library, and they did not dare to take them at that time, but now the soldiers are on the side, although there are many classics, but everyone cares about nothing more than wealth and the like, who cares about the old classics?
Not enough to enter the Night River University Hall. Looking at it, its bookstore and hall are quiet and empty, and there are several hall-like houses on a stone floor side by side, built of earth and stone, and the first two large vats have been frozen and cracked. I don't know that this place is where the library is. The door is ajar, the books and classics are messy, and they are placed on the floor, on the table, and on the shelves. It is not enough to specifically select ancient books, scriptures, etc., astronomy, geography, medicinal herbs, and genera, and in addition, they are also interested in heresy and rumors. At that time, he was already able to reluctantly control the low-level magic bag. So he manipulated the law bag left by Chang'er, and included the books and classics here. Until the Dharma bag, there is no more space.
Walking out of the university hall, it is not enough to pat the law bag on his waist, full of smiles. He lowered his head like this and walked forward with a smile all the way. Suddenly, it was cut off by several soldiers.
"Hey, Wuna man, what about you. ”
"Ahh
Not enough to say.
"But it's not to summon you, don't we have nothing to do to find you for amusement?"
The leading soldier said angrily.
"I don't know if the military master is calling, what do you command?"
"General Lao, please. ”
Hearing this, he smiled slightly:
"How do you know that the general summoner must be under the order?"
"Hmph, where are there civilians in cloth clothes in this city besides you?"
"Less wordy, let's go!"
The other soldier said impatiently.
Seeing this, he had no choice but to go with him.
Night River City's 'Nightless Restaurant' was the most prosperous place in this place at first, and people came and went in Pingsuli, and it was very lively. However, at that time, it was not enough everywhere, and it was miserable, but dozens of soldiers guarded it, and there was no sound.
"Master Jun, the general is here?"
"Silence! Those who dare to make a noise will be served by military law!"
Not to hear it, silent, and followed a soldier at the door.
General Lao, middle-aged, slightly fat, with a high crown in brocade clothes, sat on a chair and glanced at the shortcomings:
"Are you the one who entered the city with General Wu?"
"Yes!"
"Where is the money in the city?"
"Back to the general's words, the money and goods in the city have long been stolen. That is, the last time we entered the city with an old man and a group of hundreds of people to burn the dead bodies in the city, we knew that there was no money or anything in this place. ”
"Who's that old man?"
"He said to himself that he was a practitioner. ”
"Oh, if there is anyone who remembers it, please tell me. ”
"Yes!"
Then he closed his eyes and was silent, so he bowed and retreated.
A few days later, he left the city and headed north.
