Chapter 8 Autumn Rain in the Ancient Temple
Xiao Jiang was lucky, he rode a donkey slowly, and he couldn't catch up with the 130,000 army to besiege Zhiyang, which was enough to save his life; But at the same time, he is unlucky, when he comes to Zhiyang, there is a high probability that he can only see the dilapidated and empty city and the lonely Xu Sheng.
His wish to take his sister to need stability and shelter is about to fail.
No, Xiao Jiang should be able to see one other than Xu Sheng. The girl in Tsing Yi shook her head and kept following behind Xu Sheng, like a dog skin plaster, she couldn't shake it off.
"Squeak-squeak-"
In late summer, the cicadas on the trees seemed to know that the end was coming, and their cries were particularly poignant.
Speaking of which, these little guys are also interesting, a few days ago, the war was monstrous, and they also seemed to be bluffed, "without saying a word"; Now, just a few days after the crisis, they have regained their spirits and are screaming desperately, as if they want to shout back all the "debts" they had previously owed.
"When you call it like this, it seems that the city is not so lonely."
The girl in Tsing Yi lifted her hair, watched Xu Sheng send away the last group of leavers, and said lightly.
The transfer of Zhiyang was not achieved overnight, but was carried out in a long and batched manner.
As the overall leader, Captain Li naturally walked in the forefront, but the 42,400 people in the rear could only form a long line between the narrow mountain roads.
There are some people who really can't let go of their homeland, and they have to wait for all the neighbors to go before they leave.
Xu Sheng didn't urge him, thinking that when he left Linxi Village, he was also hesitant and reluctant.
It stands to reason that there was no food in the city, and it was summer, so people didn't need to bring anything. But in fact, no one is empty-handed.
Someone took a brick from the corner, someone broke off a branch of a willow tree, someone took some well water in a bottle, someone picked up a handful of soil......
No matter what it is, it is all concern, it is all thoughts, and it is all the bond with the hometown.
Where will these people, forty-two thousand, go?
Xu Sheng and Li Xiaowei had a long discussion, and finally chose Jiangzhou under the persuasion of the girl in Tsing Yi.
Jiangzhou is indeed the optimal solution under the current limited conditions.
First, Jiangzhou is fertile for thousands of miles, and it is comparable to Zhongzhou and Shenzhou. Second, Jiangzhou is not far from Lingzhou and Zhiyang.
It is also the most important point that the Ye and Tan families in Jiangzhou have always been known for their generosity, and in the face of more than 40,000 displaced people, there is no reason to refuse.
In this case, who should she choose?
"Xu Da fool, you are so pitiful, the whole city has abandoned you." The girl in Tsing Yi stuck out her tongue and said proudly: "But don't be too sad, and me." I will never leave you. Last time in Liaozhou, if it weren't for the old man Qin Lie, we would have stayed and flown long ago. β
"You..." Xu Sheng stared at him with a look of anger, and said viciously, "What are you talking nonsense? Haven't read a book? Or do you not care about shame at all? How can a woman's family be so shameless. β
"Huh"
The girl in Tsing Yi rolled her eyes, changed her face to anger, stroked her chest and said: "Since ancient times, things have been hot and cold, human feelings are weak, and life and death can also be seen and smoked, what is the difference between you and the Kyoto Tanhualang, the Quartet looking for willows?" β
"You..."
Xu Sheng was very helpless, and in a hurry, he lifted the "shocking" long sword on his waist and said angrily: "You want to taste this." β
"Don't don't, don't have to, big brother, you are busy first." The girl in Tsing Yi turned her head directly and was busy striding meteors.
"This crazy woman."
Xu Sheng looked at the distant back of the girl in Tsing Yi, shook his head helplessly, and then, the corners of his mouth unconsciously bent up slightly, revealing a smile...
"The surname Xu, there is really you, dare to threaten me with the sword, I must know the secret aunt and grandmother on your body." After walking for a long time, turning four or five streets, the girl in Tsing Yi puffed out her cheeks, clenched her fists and said...
On the long, narrow and rugged path, the man in the robe and Yan Yan took the lead. Behind them was a weary army of more than 50,000 despondent and languishing.
A war that should have been won completely knocked out the spirit of this group of people.
Even with it, the confidence of the man in the robe and Yan Yanzhi was also indeliblely hit.
The vast and magnificent "Haofang Chariot", the man in the Taoist robe no longer had the face to pose, and he chose to carefully store it in the mustard seed space he carried with him.
"Teng-Teng-"
The horses' hooves beat the loess and splashed smoke and dust.
The heart of the man in the Taoist robe was more than a thousand times more impatient than the sound of horses' hooves.
"Phewβ"
The faster he ran, the better the horse suddenly stopped, and the man in the robe tightened the reins of the horse, staring intently.
"How?"
Yan Yanzhi, who was chasing closely behind, asked, but after three breaths, he stood side by side with the man in the Taoist robe, with a shocked expression.
"This...!"
Ahead, the road came to an end and was blocked!
"It's so tightly blocked, no wonder the army can't get through." The man in the robe muttered softly, his brows furrowed.
"Brother Chen, what do you think..."Yan Yanyi pointed to the "road ahead" and asked in a deep voice, "Natural disaster or man-made disaster?" β
"What do you think?"
The man in the Taoist robe didn't answer the question, but his eyes wandered around. After a long time, he narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "The mountain is a hard black rock, the surrounding ledge structure is stable, and the mountains are rich enough to stabilize the water and soil. β
"There's a change ahead!"
Yan Yanzhi's heart tightened suddenly, and worries and fears all came to his heart.
For the "Kamui General", he had no confidence for the first time.
"Click!"
High in the sky, the clouds suddenly cracked, and a thunderbolt crashed down.
This thunder came without any warning, and it scared Yan Yanzhi, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and was known for his stability!
"Don't panic"
The man in the Taoist robe grabbed Yan Yanzhi's cuffs, pulled them gently, and said in an unquestionable tone: "The artifact is easier, when the time comes, the general's fortune, and the depth of the Haihe River, besides... My teacher said that I will be one hundred and fourteen years old, and I will advance and retreat with you. β
"Thank you"
Yan Yanzhi glanced at the man in the Taoist robe gratefully, and then saluted with his palms. He tried to put on a calm appearance, but there was a hint of trembling in his tone.
"Click!"
There was another sound, but the broken clouds became more and more agglomerate, overlapping everything, and becoming a thick black.
"It's going to rain." The man in the robe looked up to the sky and said.
"It's a rush." Yan Yanzhi bit his lip, looked back at the back, and whispered to himself: "The road ahead has been broken, the heavens are not beautiful, and the plan will not be able to go." β
"Drive!"
He turned his horse's head and shouted as he galloped: "Set up camp, make a fire and make food, and choose the gentle slope of the mountain in order." β
"It's going to rain."
Xu Sheng walked to a ruined temple and suddenly looked up to the sky and said.
Finally got rid of the noise of the girl in Tsing Yi, he wanted to walk around and be quiet for a while.
"Click!"
The thunder "roared" terrifyingly, Xu Sheng stopped to look at the sky, and finally could only shake his head helplessly and pushed open the half-hidden temple door.
"Squeak!"
I don't know how many years have passed, and this abandoned temple has welcomed new guests...
"Whoa, whoa, whoa"
The rain was viscous and dense, and it was even more slanted and unsightly under the agitation of the gusty wind.
"It's raining weirdly."
The girl in Tsing Yi hugged her knees and shrunk her head under the eaves alone.
She has always liked rainy days, but the current scene makes it difficult for her to give birth to too much affection; And the thunder is what she has always been tired of, when she was a child, she would curl up into the arms of her master every time there was thunder. Occasionally, when the master was not there, she would snuggle up to her brother.
Although she has a noble status and is associated with many secrets, in the final analysis, she is just a girl who has not reached the double ten.
"Click!"
"Click!"
"Click!"
The thunder was even more manic, and it sounded three times in a row, as if it was declaring the power of heaven.
"Whew-"
The girl in Tsing Yi stuck out her tongue, buried her head directly in her knees, and cursed while shrinking her body: "That dead Xu Sheng, the biggest fool, run, run far, it's better to be drenched in the rain." β
"Nope"
As soon as the words came out, the girl in Tsing Yi repented, and she said viciously: "If he dies, it will be a pity, will the treasures and secrets of that body be completely blind?" There is also the Shocking Sword, I can't deal with it without his moderation, no, no, he can't die. β
"Click!"
This time the thunder was louder than ever, and a twisted white arc of light illuminated the entire canopy.
"Oops!"
The girl in Tsing Yi was really scared, got up in a hurry, slipped into the house with a "swoop", and closed the door with a "bang".
"Dead Xu Sheng, what are you running, lightning and thunder, can't you accompany me?"
