"You're here. A dull baritone voice suddenly sounded in the dark barracks, and the faint candlelight was shaken by the sound as if it were about to be blown out. The young man with red fluffy hair who had just come in couldn't help but keep his body when he heard the voice.

"Will ······ General ······" Pei Baohu trembled and carried the crumpled paper one by one, slowly put it on the table, and said miserably: "Sheng······ He escaped from prison······"

Su Lie glanced at the wanted Sheng with his eyes, he was no longer as energetic as when they first met, his purple hair was already messy, and he was unkempt like an outlaw at any cost.

"He should have escaped from prison a long time ago. Su Lie said, "Maybe ······ I really mistrusted him. "The general has fallen to this point, and he has been killed after all. Pei Baohu sat down in front of Su Lie and said, "It's just that he escaped from prison like this, he must have been really traumatized." I don't know whether to be happy or unhappy. ”

"I've always wanted to go to Sheng to confirm whether the battle of Sekishi has anything to do with him. I admit it on the surface, but in my heart it's not. Su Lie sighed: "Jade City is subordinate to Jinting City, but it is not valued by Jinting City, so it has been in decay for a long time. Sheng Nai is the inheritor of Jade City, and if he wants to make Jade City prosperous again, trading with Heluo is the best way, rather than cultivating some demon seed to snatch it. I believe······ Sheng is by no means such a short-sighted person who focuses on short-term interests and gives up long-term development. ”

"After listening to the general's description, I ······ I think so, too. Pei Baohu said: "But if he escapes like this, the charge of traitor and traitor will definitely not be washed away." ”

"Even if he doesn't escape, will this charge be washed away?" Su Lie shook his head meaningfully and said, "He needs to be responsible, and so do I." It's a pity that our original vision has come to naught, and we are really unwilling!"

"General!" Pei Baohu said suddenly: "We ······ We should find out the truth from the beginning, right?" "The truth?" Su Lie shook his head and said, "I wasn't a general a year ago, so I didn't have any chance to investigate the truth. Moreover, after such a long time, can we still find anything? Ahu, you have to remember that the so-called 'truth' is what those in power want people to see, not the 'truth' that we say. ”

"This ······ It's so unfair. Pei Baohu said: "I ······ I don't believe that the people in power would really do this. "At first I didn't believe it. Su Lie said: "When I came to the Great Wall from Chang'an, I had to believe it. This is why I insisted on staying on the Great Wall, because in the entire Tang Dynasty, except for the northern frontier, only the Great Wall guards still fought against the demon seed and the enemy country here in order to protect the land and the peace of the people in order to protect the land and the peace of the people. ”

"Sheng! At the beginning, you and I made an oath to change the situation of the Great Wall and the Jade City, but I didn't expect that everything would change in just a few days. The so-called Hutongguan City has become a springboard for the demons to attack the people, and we have all been convicted because of the attack of the demon species. Since then, I've been a junior soldier fighting on the front lines, and you've been put in prison with nothing to hear from. And the scale of the demon's attack is getting bigger and bigger, I don't know ······ How long can it last. For you, I can only wish that you will be able to get the destiny you deserve. ”

Thinking of this, Su Lie whistled a little dejectedly, and immediately a white dove flapped its wings and landed outside the barracks. Pei Baohu looked at the letter in Su Lie's hand, and said with some curiosity: "Does the general like to send letters to his family?"

"At home?" Su Lie smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Since I chose to put pen to paper, my generation of literati families have not paid much attention to me, and only one of my cousins and my father are left. But they don't support me, it's good if I don't give them too much trouble, how dare I write to annoy them? But when you say this, Ah Hu, I also remember, and I haven't written to my family for many years. ”

"General. Pei Baohu said: "I have always believed that my family will always support and understand you." The general has been in such a difficult situation now, it is really better to write a letter to his family to inform him, and they will definitely support the general. ”

"You're right, perhaps······ I really should have written a letter back. My dad ······ My body has been bad, I don't know ······ How is he now. Recalling the life between him and his family in the past, there was no pain or tears in Su Lie's eyes, just looking at the direction of the setting sun like a man, and after recalling, he was more determined.

"I believe that I have made the right choice, no matter what the outcome God gives me. ”

"The general, who are you writing this letter to?" Listening to Pei Baohu's question, Su Lie unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Confidant." I can call him 'Qinglian Virtuous Brother', or I can call him 'Lao Li'. Whenever I meet him, he likes to do the things I hate the most. ”

"The most annoying thing?" Pei Baohu blinked and said, "Do you drink?" "Not bad." Su Lie smiled: "I don't know why, I am such a poor drinker, as soon as I drink with him, I have the illusion that a thousand glasses will not be poured." As a result, drinking was the happiest thing for me in that short period of time, and by the way, we liked to sing poetry together the most. ”

"Maybe this is a confidant. Pei Baohu said: "It's really enviable that the general can still have such a partner." ”

"Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other in a long time, and we don't know what he's doing. Su Lie sighed: "He's a person, he's used to being free, but no one can control him." A long time ago, the only time he went to Chang'an, he engraved the famous sentence 'I want to go to the blue sky and catch the bright moon' on the Vermilion Bird Gate. After the empress found out, she didn't care about him because of love. He didn't indulge, knowing that Chang'an was not free and not suitable for him, so he never went again. ”

"Then I seem to know, it's a very famous poet. Pei Baohu understood and said, "General, I can't imagine that you are friends with such a famous person." ”

"In life, it is the greatest luck to have people who know each other and stay together. Su Lie stuffed the letter into the carrier pigeon's letterhead, then let the carrier pigeon fly away, and then turned to Pei Baohu and said, "Ah Hu, I believe you will definitely meet such a person in the future." ”

Pei Baohu's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, and he said with a smile: "General, why are you the guards of the Great Wall, how can you have time to find any confidants and friends? "People who know each other are not friends. Su Lie said: "The Great Wall Guards didn't say that they must stay here for the rest of their lives. Originally, I thought that the Great Wall guards guarded the frontier for the sake of righteousness, and they were not forced to come to the border by the imperial court. But the reality is very cruel, there are generals in the imperial court, and the soldiers who come to guard the Great Wall can always be treated preferentially. This is why many soldiers would rather die than leave the Great Wall, because they have their families to protect. Ah Hu, didn't you say that you don't have a family, then you can leave at any time, maybe a little money or military merit can do it. ”

"General, maybe I'll have to stay here for the rest of my life. Pei Baohu said: "I think it's good to stay here, at least worthy of my heart." How proud it is to be the Great Wall Guard?"

"yes. Su Lie said: "In the King Continent, the deepest contradiction is the war between humans and demons, and the worst thing is the demon race hybrid like you. Datang's policy never discriminates against mixed races, but the only place that can really make pure humans and mixed races coexist peacefully is the Great Wall. There will be more or less unequal rules and conditions in other places, and the Great Wall ······ What a wonderful place. And for me, my original intention of coming to the Great Wall has not changed······"

"The Great Wall is here, and the hometown is there. ”

"General, you still have a family, do you really want to stay here for the rest of your life?" Pei Baohu said: "Doesn't the general plan to return to Chang'an in the future?" Su Lie shook his head and said, "My fault is too deep. There are countless innocent civilians who have died because of my fault, and I want to atone for their sins······"

"How long will it take for the general to atone for his sins like this?" Pei Baohu said: "It's been more than a year, does the general plan to go on like this endless atonement?" "I don't know. Su Lie shook his head and said, "I'm a person who can't control my own destiny, maybe······ I'm really going to atone for my sins······"

"General, I don't think your words are right. Pei Baohu said: "Our lives should not be bound by one thing. The general used to be a literati, maybe he went to other places to be a teacher, to educate more people, not to be a thief, to protect more places, maybe in the future can benefit far more than just being a low-level soldier like now. ”

"Makes some sense······" Su Lie lowered his head and said: "But now that the attack of the demon seed is getting stronger and stronger, how can I leave like this? Let's watch it first, after the battle of Guanshi, the attack of the demon seed has become more and more frequent in a year, I think there must be a conspiracy behind this! Ah Hu, we will hold on, right?"

"It will definitely be!" Pei Baohu used his "Liuhe Tiger Fist" to "brush and brush" to split out several strong punch winds. He has always trusted Su Lie, and he is determined to fight with his most respected "general" (in fact, he is only a low-level soldier) until the last moment.

Su Lie and Sheng, because of the two sinners of the Guanshi Change, the two of them embarked on different paths from the Guanshi Change, and their fates also changed. Although Su Lie was demoted, he could fight as the Great Wall Guard after all to uphold his original intention. And Sheng, but as a prisoner suffered a lot of humiliation, he is not a Tang Dynasty, but the future heir of Yucheng, this year, his elders are no longer there, Yucheng is more dilapidated than in the past, and has even been abandoned by Jinting City, the Tang army also went to Yucheng, to mine the jade for a living, to help the surrounding people. Sheng watched the loss of everything he once had, and recalled the injustice he had suffered, and finally embarked on a terrible path. He is a traitor and a prisoner, but none of this matters, a person who has no relatives in the world, a person who has no scruples, is the most terrible.
