It can be said that they are all disabled or old.

Those who are not crippled will be enlisted in the army of the four holy beast generals, or in the Mo Dao team directly under the King of Chu.

"Dangdangdang......."

To the north of Chuhe Village, in the quiet night, a crisp hammer sounded.

It was a veteran who was beating an unfinished house on the edge of Chuhe Village.

Not far behind him, sat a young man with his right hand trembling.

The young man couldn't help but speak: "Old fellow, there is going to be a war, and you are still building a house." ”

When the veteran heard this, he broke him: "You young man, so rude? Shouting seniors know? ”

The young man rolled his eyes: "It's just a title, what's the difference?" ”

"What a difference! For example, if you call me an old guy, I'm angry right now, and if you call me senior, then maybe I'll help you block the knife. ”

The young man burst out laughing: "Poof, don't do it! You still take care of yourself, so old, don't retreat with General Suzaku and them, but stay in Chuhe Village after the break, what do you think? Suspicious of life? ”

The veteran's forehead and eyebrows furrowed: "You young man, your mouth is really stinky, this should be put aside and assigned to the mouth to be crooked." ”

"Young man, before you want to ask a question, let's talk about yourself, what's the matter with that hand? Pick up the sword? ”

Hand.......

At the mention of his hand, the young man could not help but sigh.

He had battlefield syndrome.

In the past, when he was training in Chuhe Village, he was infected by the charm of General Xuanwu and was proud to join the Xuanwu battalion.

And he is also very powerful, with the first place in the same period, he joined the Xuanwu Battalion without controversy and became the youngest soldier in the Xuanwu Battalion.

Very proud! I was really proud of myself then!

But in the first war, he was scared stupid, training is different wars, war is an interweaving machine of blood and flesh, and the small fights with training are very different!

His legs were weak with fright, and after desperately blocking an arrow fired by the enemy with his sword, he played dead on the spot.

I don't know how long it was, maybe he was unconscious at that time, and when he woke up, the war was over, and there were corpses lying all around.

There are comrades in the Xuanwu battalion, but more of them are enemy troops!

But at that time, in his eyes, including now, he always only had those dead comrades.

looked at those girls who were still talking and laughing yesterday, saying what they would marry in the future, saying that they could drink a few catties of wine, and bragging about their comrades-in-arms, who fell in front of their eyes one by one and turned into cold corpses.

Their desperate and empty eyes kept him in a nightmare!

"Why are you pretending to be dead, if you hadn't pretended to be dead, our squad would have one more combat power, and I wouldn't have died."

"The youngest soldier in the Xuanwu Sect? I think he is the most cowardly soldier in the history of the Xuanwu Battalion! ”

", you're not worthy of being a soldier of our Xuanwu Battalion! Not even worthy of being a soldier of His Royal Highness the King of Chu! ”

"You give me my life! Give me back my life! ”

“…….”

A sentence, as if those cold corpses spoke, and since then, he has suffered from battlefield syndrome, and his right hand will tremble all the time,

And the nightmare has always haunted him, it is the corpses of those comrades who accuse him in emotionless language, all the time entangled, all the time entangled......

He withdrew from the Xuanwu camp and returned to Chuhe Village to work as a logistics and food carrier.

The environment is safe.

But even so.

Those nightmares haunt me forever.

Years passed, and he couldn't recover.

Shaking his head, the young man didn't think much about it.

He looked at the Xuanwu Sword in his hand: "If you pick up the sword, you may not be able to hold it, who knows." ”

"Anyway, I've been a waste all these years, and I actually always think sometimes that I deserved to die back then, more than those comrades."

"I've always wanted to die, but I can't kill myself, tonight may be my chance."

The veteran looked at him deeply and said with a smile: "Today's young people are really useless, unlike our generation, who followed the King of Chu from the south to Chang'an, without a single word of fear." ”

The young man sighed, "Perhaps, my existence has discredited the Xuanwu Battalion. ”

As he spoke, his right hand pressed the Xuanwu armor number on his right shoulder.

No. 3257.

This is to say that he is the 3257th Xuanwu to join the Xuanwu Battalion.

Even if he quits the Xuanwu camp, the battle armor is always his own.

According to the words of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the armor and weapons are your brothers from the day they are issued to you, and we have no right to interfere with your relationship with your own brothers, and they will always be with you until the end.

This set of Xuanwu armor, Xuanwu shield and Xuanwu sword has been sealed in dust for several years, and there is still heavy dust when it is taken out tonight, and the young man doesn't know if he can still wield the Xuanwu sword.

"Old guy, what about you, I see that you are the number 42 of the Mo Sword Guard, your Mo Sword Armor is still alive if it is broken like that, it seems that you Mo Sword Guard is safer, then the previous number can also be alive."

The young man's voice was full of mockery.

He didn't really mean to laugh, just his own way of speaking, the way he spoke.

When the veteran heard this, he temporarily put down the action of beating the house.

His Mo sword armor is all scars, dozens of places? Hundreds? He himself didn't know.

"They're all dead."

The veteran's voice was calm.

These words made the young man slightly flustered.

The veteran didn't look at him, his eyes became melancholy, and even a little tearful, as if he was caught in the memory of that period of blood and tears.

"I am the first batch of Mo Dao Guards, following His Royal Highness the King of Chu to fight in the south and north, sometimes comrades die, but usually new brothers will join soon, and Mo Dao Guards have always been the most powerful protection of the troops, and the losses are very few."

"But one time, we were tricked."

"The eldest grandson Wuji gave His Highness the wrong information, our 100 Mo Dao Guards and His Highness were surrounded by five thousand enemy troops, and it was still a glimmer of heaven in the canyon, and in the end, only 11 brothers came back."

"And I'm the only person with a two-digit number left in Mo Daojia's numbers 1-99."

The voice fell, and the air was quiet.

After a while, the young man spoke: "I'm sorry, I didn't know your ......."

"It's fine." The veteran laughed: "It's been so long, and I'm retired." ”

"I remember, before my old brothers died, we watched the next step of the Chu Palace, and we knew that he had an ambition to build Chuhe Village into Chuhe City!"

"If it weren't for His Highness, I would have died a long time ago, and there was a brother who had the best relationship with me, who took my hand before he died, told me, let me take his share! Continue to follow behind His Highness to the ends of the earth. ”

"I agreed, hehe, this is burying a hole for myself."

"After retiring, I have to remember his promise before leaving! After retiring, I couldn't help His Highness on the battlefield, so I could only continue to build Chuhe Village. ”

"Young man, do you know, in the past few years, I have watched Little Chuhe Village, and little by little it has grown into Chuhe Town! From scratch! From a fence to a land of 10,000 people! It's like a child, and I'm watching it grow up. ”

"Growing up slowly, but now, His Highness has been taken away by the Turks, and it doesn't seem to be able to grow anymore, even so, I want to do my best to the last of my ability."

After the veteran finished speaking, he continued to bang on the house.

But halfway through the knock, suddenly tears fell uncontrollably: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" How could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was taken away! ”

"He clearly promised me back then that he would avenge my 99 brothers in the same batch, kill the eldest grandson Wuji, and build Chuhe Village into Chuhe City, he promised, promised ......."

This veteran of a hundred battles, the death of his former teammates did not make him cry, and the death of his wife in childbirth did not make him cry, but the departure of the king of Chu made him cry.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

Faith, that's his faith!

The departure of faith made him almost collapse.

He didn't really want the King of Chu to help him avenge him, he just thought that His Royal Highness shouldn't end up like this, His Royal Highness obviously had a lot to do, and he wanted to continue to follow that man, behind him, even if it was a transport soldier and a citizen, he was willing.

But he's gone.......

was plotted by the villain to leave Datang.

The veteran wiped his tears, he promised his dead brothers that he would live and die with His Royal Highness, and he would fight his best to protect His Royal Highness the King of Chu!

Now that His Highness is gone, he will protect the land that His Highness loves so much, and he will not rest until death!

The young man was infected by the spirit of the veteran, he pursed his lips, and he became serious: "Old guy, survive, how about you be my senior?" ”

The veteran was stunned, he looked at the young man and smiled: "Okay, I'm waiting for your sentence!" ”

The appearance of a smile after crying, coupled with the wrinkled old face of the veteran, can be said to be extremely ugly.

But in the eyes of young people, this face is better than thousands of purples and thousands of reds, and it is more beautiful than anything else.

…….…….

West of Chuhe Village.

Someone is grilling skewers.

A retired White Tiger soldier passed by, and one of them couldn't help but say: "No, why are you still grilling skewers, you are going to fight!" ”

The man smiled and said, "Isn't there no war yet, and you have to eat when you fight!" Come, you two too! ”

He smiled and took out two skewers.

"Don't! I'll have to check other local defenses, but I don't have time to eat here. ”

"It's you, I remember you, you have been grilling skewers before, why are you still grilling skewers now, and you don't evacuate with General Suzaku and them."

The White Tiger was a little surprised.

If he remembers correctly, this kebab merchant has no force.

Hearing this, the kebab merchant sighed and looked at the sky: "The skewers I grill are only eaten by people from our Chuhe Village." ”

"My skewers have no oil and no meat, I used to grill skewers in Yangzhou, I knew it was not delicious, but those bullies smashed my stall three times and several times, and I was still very uncomfortable."

"It wasn't until His Highness's people pulled me to Chuhe Village that I knew that there were people eating my skewers, and many people eating them! And although they don't like it and make less money, they will never smash my stall. ”

"I love it here, I'm not leaving here."

The White Tiger opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he stopped talking.

Half a day.

Only then did he say: "Follow General Suzaku and them to leave, return to the Jiangdong base camp, you can also make skewers and eat." ”

The kebab man shook his head: "I've run all my life, and I've been chased by the bullies in those areas for a lifetime, I don't want to run, and although I like the villagers of Chuhe Village, I like this land even more." ”

"It's such a beautiful land, I grew up watching it."

The kebab man knelt down as he spoke, pressing his right ear against the ground.

His gaze was hot, as if the ground under his feet was his child.

He loved the land dearly, more than anyone else!

"Okay, okay, I know, I know! Don't get mad and get on your knees, get me a skewer!" ”

"Hey, okay!"

Bai Hushi took the skewer and took a bite, and his originally good-looking eyebrows instantly wrinkled: "No, I said that your broken craft should really be changed, you haven't grown at all for so many years, what's wrong with you adding some oil and meat, can't you?" ”

The kebab man smiled: "The capital will become more expensive, then you won't be able to earn a few dollars." ”

White Tiger: .......

"Crazy! Regardless of you, you will remember to find a place to hide later!! ”

The White Tiger Warrior hurriedly finished eating the skewers in his hand, and then left here to check the defenses.

And the skewer walked slowly, continuing to lean on his skewers, grilling ....... may be the last skewer of his life.

There is always a group of people who love the land under their feet very much, and love them deeply, even if they know that they will die if they stay, they will choose to stay without hesitation, and they are willing to live and die with their hometown.

….…….….

In addition to these two places, there are also various dialogues taking place in other places.

Some of them stayed because they loved this land, some stayed because of the hard work of guarding His Royal Highness, and some didn't know how to write the words.

The reasons for leaving are varied.

But the only definite common goal.

That's it.

Kill the enemy! Protect my territory!

Not to mention that the terrifying Admiral Tiance came, even if God came, they wouldn't let half a point!

Here is His Royal Highness the King of Chu! It's the territory of His Highness! It's their territory! The only way to occupy it is to step on their corpses!
