The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first work their minds, starve their bodies, empty their bodies, and do what they do, so they will be tempted to endure and gain what they cannot.

This is a road woven of blood and tears, and Kong Ming is fully involved in the whole process, and it is also on this road that Kong Ming has fully matured, and after a period of blood and fire, these have become the capital for him to stand at the top of this world in the future. Kong Ming walked in a large group of prisoners of war, and there were no people who knew each other on the left and right, because in order to prevent people from connecting in tandem and organizing prisoners of war to escape, the Harvey Empire disrupted the entire prisoner of war camp, so that all the officers were gathered together, these people were the focus of the Harvey Empire, and the other soldiers were gathered together, in this way, it didn't matter how many soldiers they ran, after all, the soldiers were recruited from all over the place, and most of them were farmers and herdsmen, ordinary people, there was not much meaning for the Harvey Empire, and bringing them together was nothing more than to make the ceremony look more spectacular, and the officers were differentMost of the officers were knighted, or high-level swordsmen, magicians, or others, and their value was far greater than that group of civilian-born soldiers.

"Hey! A man wearing regimental armor next to him said to Kong Ming. In order to make the ceremony more spectacular, and the fall of the Chu people, they did not even let them change into ordinary clothes in the process of walking to the capital of the Harvey Empire, Cruy City, but retained the clothes they wore during the battle, of course, they used special magic instruments to take away all the space rings on everyone's bodies, and the only thing left of the prisoners of war was the tattered armor on their bodies.

Kong Ming handed him the cigarette in his mouth, looked at the front with blank eyes and said, "Yang Li, I don't know how to save a little, this road is so long, when will it be finished?"

"Let's talk about it after pumping, and it is nearly 10,000 kilometers away from here to Cruy City, and it will take at least more than 200 days based on 50 kilometers per day, which is still relatively smooth, if it is not smooth, the time may be longer, you must know ......" Yang Li looked left and right, and found that the Harvey soldiers guarding did not notice them, so he whispered: "I heard that their perverted emperor wants us people to arrive at his broken ceremony on time, not a minute more, not a minute less, give." Yang Li returned Kong Ming's cigarette to Kong Ming, Kong Ming took the cigarette, took a puff and said, "Is there a way?"

"Don't think about it, don't you see all around us, they are all elites above the third level, you are looking over there. Yang Li said, "His brother's, if it weren't for this damn handcuff, I would have let them go alone." Yang Li muttered.

"Don't say these angry words, you and I both know in our hearts that they don't just dare to pull us to Cruj City with just a little bit of troops. Kong Ming also whispered. Indeed, this is just an ordinary common sense, there are tens of thousands of kilometers from Chu Capital to Cruy City, which has to pass through the Chu State, and the Yan State finally arrives at the Harvey Empire, without a certain strength, and has to go through such a long road, many complex terrains, weather, and then bring hundreds of thousands of captives who will flee and counterattack at any time, who will take it lightly?

"The most annoying thing is that those birds don't give us anything, everyone just brings us a bowl, and they don't even have the most basic things for life. His brother's, the captives are also human!"

In order to prevent the Chu prisoners from escaping, and in order to better manage these prisoners of war, the Harvey people just let each person bring a bowl, a change of clothes or two, and nothing else, and in order to make this prisoner of war team more spectacular, they let except for a few seriously wounded and dying wounded remain, the rest of the people were all pressed back. In this case, those who are fascinated like Kongming, or those who are not injured on the body, it is better to say, those who are injured are different, walking such a road, small injuries drag into big injuries, big injuries drag into serious injuries, serious injuries die directly on the road, plus all kinds of accidents on the way, more people die, hundreds of thousands of people finally except for a small part of the way to leave by various means, half of the people died on this long road, this road was later called "the way of death sacrifice" by prisoners of war.

Kong Ming looked at the prisoners of war who supported each other on the left and right, with a bleak look on their faces, failure, death, pain, wailing and so on, of course, there are many people like Kong Ming who look down on life and death, but there are not so many feelings, for them this is just the price they should pay for failure, and they are more concerned about what the future will look like.

"Yang Li, look at the people around you who look like dead people, why don't you have any sadness at all?" Kong Ming asked strangely. This really made Kong Ming unable to figure it out for a while.

"What's there to be sad about this. Yang Li said, with a trace of sadness, a trace of firmness, and a trace of hope in his eyes, "If it weren't for Harvey and these people to fight this battle, the Chu State would have perished within more than ten years." ”

Hearing this sentence, it made Kong Ming a little inexplicable, Kong Ming's days when he came to Chu were still relatively short, and he didn't know many things about Chu State, although he studied a lot of history and geography of Chu State before he came, as well as the current military situation, but he was not a Chu State after all, and he didn't really enter a Chu world, plus he has always been surrounded by nobles around Chu State, and he knows very little about the civilians of Chu State, this is the political zhì, the political zhì of Chu State.

"Why?" Kong Ming did not preach to this native of Chu, but it was very strange that he would have such an idea, you must know that no matter who has a feeling for his hometown, this kind of feeling is deep in the bone marrow, it is an emotion that deepens over time, and the same is true for the country, but Yang Li does not have this kind of emotion, so either the country makes him sad, what makes him say so?

"Do you think I'm speaking ruthlessly, as if I'm not from this country? Actually, you don't know this country, and if you knew this country, then you wouldn't be like this. Yang Li said calmly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with it. "In the past, the Chu State was a peace-loving country, a family for everyone, helping each other and supporting each other, so at that time, there were many people from various countries who came here, here, no one will ask where you are from, only know that everyone is from the Chu State, at that time, there were many saint-level powerhouses from all over the country, this is a free country. When he said this, Yang Li's face was yearning, and Kong Ming was thinking about what kind of era it was?

"At that time, no country would come to attack the Chu State, because there were too many strong people here, so many that they could form a hundred-person team composed of saint-level powerhouses, try to think about it, how could a team composed of so many strong people be afraid of other countries? The officials are no longer thinking about people, the country is slowly falling in turn, and the people's hearts have long been scattered, if it had been put in the past, even if Harvey's army entered the country, it would have fallen into boundless wars and struggles, where would it be like now, and ...... like now." Yang Li's face kept changing with his statement. Kong Ming listened to Yang Li's continuous statements, and began to build a desirable country in his heart, which was the former Chu State. Since leaving the small village in Kari, he rarely thinks of the small village that gave him a happy childhood, although there is no official name for that village until now, but no matter where Kong Ming is in the deepest part of his heart, it is Kong Ming's hometown, and every time Kong Ming thinks of his hometown, that expression always has some inexplicable expressions, if you have to explain it, it is longing, looking forward to returning there one day. And now Yang Li's expression reminded Kong Ming of that nameless little village from a certain Cheng dù.

"Smack!", Kong Ming felt a burst of heat on his face, and his head was unconsciously tilted to the side, Kong Ming subconsciously looked to that side, his eyes were full of fire, less than two steps away from Kong Ming, a small soldier of the Harvey Army, holding a leather whip in his hand, looked at Kong Ming proudly, and said in the words of Hua Tiantong with a thick Harvey tone: "You Chu dog, hurry up and let me go, don't get in the way!"

Kong Ming suddenly forgot his identity at this moment, when did a small soldier dare to yell at himself like this, and was about to rush up, but let Yang Li, who had just come back to his senses, hug him, and at the same time separated Kong Ming from the little soldier, and several Chu people next to him also came back to their senses, and together separated the Harvey soldiers from Kong Ming, and at the same time they also looked angry, after all, these are all officers, if it weren't for the handcuffs to seal their fighting spirit or magic, they could solve countless small soldiers like this with just a small fighting spirit or magic, but although their ability is gone, that kind of murderous aura can't be sealed, The murderous aura pressed on the soldier like a wall, making the soldier kick back several steps, just like a group of demonic beasts staring at him, scared him at a loss, and his little face was also pale and pale, and he leaned on a few Harvey sergeants, hurried over, and suddenly the two sides formed a confrontation situation, and the civilians of Chudu near here also came to watch the excitement, all of a sudden, a mess was formed in this small corner, maybe because this is Chudu, maybe because this is the first day of departure, so the Harvey people did not let this situation expand, but came over and a captain criticized the little soldier a few words, and let Kong Ming and them continue to move forward.

At this time, Kong Ming finally came back to his senses, maybe he had been away from Kari for too long, so long that he was a little carried away, forgetting that he was just a prisoner of war now, no longer the victorious swordsman, the admirable magician, nor the enviable regimental commander, now he was just a prisoner of war, worse than when he was a soldier in Kari, at least he still had a certain amount of freedom at that time, and now he is just a prisoner. And today is the first day, I don't know how many days to come, think about how long such days will pass, the future will definitely not be as good as today, the Harvey people may have a certain scruple in the future, the same situation may be a death in the future, and now these Harvey people are also the first day to escort prisoners of war, no experience, once these people realize that these prisoners of war are just a group of monsters in a cage, then the things that follow are not so simple, in other words, from today onwards, these prisoners of war are not soldiers, just a group of unarmed people。 Their glory, their things, including their lives, will not belong to them. At this moment, Kong Ming hated two people incomparably, one was Xiang Tiancheng who gave up his country, if he could be decisive, then now Kong Ming would not be a prisoner of war and become a person who lost his freedom, and the other was the traitor Jin Qiming, if it wasn't for him to play behind his back and let Kong Ming be captured by the Harvey, then he would not have fallen into this kind of "man is a sword, I am a fish and meat", although now he wants to think about it a little hindsight. And from this moment on, Kong Ming constantly thinks about the relationship between these people, the relationship between countries, and the thoughts and actions of those who have done many sabotage battles behind the scenes, and the actions of those who have been trapped in trouble and betrayed. This is just the first day, the first day of walking to Cruy City, the first day of walking on the path of death sacrifice, and this is also the first day of Kongming's path to rise, and from now on, this kind of reflection and action will accompany Kongming throughout his life.
