Chapter 54: The Heroic Twilight General Grows Old
Outside the city of Handan, the left and the road meet.
Jiang Taiyi looked at the old general in front of him, and couldn't help but think that he and Lu Buwei also met on the road to Handan, and then lived in this Handan city for more than 20 years.
Now, more than 20 years later, I am about to leave this city, and I don't want to be alone on the road, and I have seen an old man again.
Jiang Taiyi sighed softly: "Old general, I didn't expect you to leave Handan too." ”
Lian Po looked at the man with a wine gourd hanging on his waist coming, and he was also in a trance, and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Guigu, who has not been seen for more than 20 years." ”
Jiang Taiyi took the wine gourd, nodded and said, "Yes, it's been more than twenty years." ”
More than 20 years ago, the veteran in front of him was already an old man in his sixties, and now, in his eighties, he is even older, his hair is all snow-white, and there are a lot of age spots on his face, just like a lion on the verge of death, all of which are twilight.
Lian Po smiled abruptly, and his voice was old: "It turns out that Mr. Guigu has never left Handan." ”
Jiang Taiyi handed over the wine in the gourd and said: "I'm going to leave today, I thought I was walking alone, but I didn't expect that there were old people on the road, where is the old general going, perhaps, we can walk together for a while, the end of the world is far away, and we won't be lonely." ”
Lian Po looked at the wine handed over by Jiang Taiyi, his nose moved, and he could already smell that it was the best wine in the world, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The old man is now a lost dog, and he can't afford to drink this wine from Mr. ”
Jiang Taiyi poured himself a glass with a gourd lid and said, "This wine was not sold more than ten years ago, but you can invite others to drink it." ”
Lian Po smiled, laughed old, and said: "Dao Zuo meets, there is indeed fate, then thank you Mr. for this glass of wine." ”
took the gourd, raised his head and poured a big sip, and drank it heroically, and the wine flowed down his beard a lot.
Take a big sip.
Lian Po let out a long roar and said, "This wine is still so domineering and refreshing." ”
Jiang Taiyi also raised the lid of the gourd and drank it lightly, and he also felt it.
He used to never drink alcohol in the immortal cultivation world, but now, after more than 20 years of turning into a fan, after making wine by himself, this wine is inseparable.
After the two clink glasses.
Jiang Taiyi said: "The old general has served the country all his life, and before leaving, he only has an old horse, which is embarrassing and sad." ”
Lian Po stroked his white beard, and his old voice was complicated: "The old man came to Zhao at the age of sixteen, and he was alone at that time. ”
Look down at the wine.
recalled that he had fought for Zhao for most of his life, the high-spirited Congrong years, and the battlefield soldiers who commanded Ruoding, until now, only an old horse took him back.
Jiang Taiyi didn't ask much about why Lian Po was abandoned by Zhao, but just listened to his words and said, "It sounds like the old general is going back to his own home." ”
Lian Po, Wei people.
Lian Po raised his head and breathed a long sigh of relief, blowing his beard: "Fallen leaves return to their roots, and they will be buried in their homeland after all." ”
Jiang Taiyi raised his eyes and looked at the gray-haired veteran in front of him.
Be able to see clearly.
Lian Po probably only has more than half a year to live, even if he was a martial arts master, he is still a mortal after all, and he can't resist the passing years.
Nearly eighty people are considered to have lived a long life in this era.
Lian Po looked at Jiang Taiyi with dizzy eyes and said, "Where is Mr. Guigu going?" ”
Jiang Taiyi: "Traveling the world, there is no fixed place for the time being." ”
Lian Po smiled, took the horse and said, "Then you can indeed walk with Mr. all the way." ”
Raise a glass to a glass clink.
After a big bite.
The two of them walked slowly forward.
Three days later.
came to the border of Wei and Zhao.
"Ahead is the State of Wei."
Lian Po tied the old horse to the side of a tea house next to the official road, sat down with Jiang Taiyi, asked for a bowl of water, rested temporarily, and after drinking the water, he looked at Jiang Taiyi:
"Mr. Guiya, haven't you decided where to go yet?"
Jiang Taiyi picked up the water bowl and did not answer.
Looking for the next place to continue to transform into mortals, or to travel the world and sow the rest of the demon seeds, he was considering.
This time.
The conversation between a member of a team of horses at the next table caught his and Lian Po's attention.
"The State of Qin is going to send troops to attack Zhao!"
"It is said that the leader of the troops is still the younger brother of King Yingzheng of Qin, Cheng Jiao, which is inevitable for the Zhao State."
"Especially after the new King Zhao ascended the throne, he actually drove Lian Po away, what a faint monarch, I think it won't be long before this Zhao Kingdom will end."
When Jiang Taiyi heard this, she looked at Lian Po.
But seeing that Lian Po just looked gloomy, he didn't pick up.
And the other people at the table said something again, which made Jiang Taiyi can't help but be interested.
"It's not just Zhao, it's the same in South Korea, it hasn't rained for more than a year, there is a big drought, and a lot of people have died, South Korea is the smallest country among the seven countries, if Qin attacks it, it will be impossible to resist."
"The drought is a wrath of heaven, and it can't be stopped by manpower, and the Koreans are also pitiful."
"However, I heard a news that it is said that General Ji Wuye, who is favored by King Han, called on a group of monks, saying that he can pray for rain for Korea, and even make King Han immortal."
"Fangshi? Can you pray for rain? Isn't that a fairy, really fake? ”
"Of course it's true, I heard that that group of Fang Shi returned from Penglai not long ago, and they did find an immortal from Penglai on the sea."
"It is said that he was born in the same family as Dr. Le Yi back then, and he was all lit by the Zhangren on the Fangxian Dao River."
"Even the 'horizontal sword' of the previous generation of Zongheng family, Kui Che, has great respect for that immortal and follows him."
Jiang Taiyi's heart moved when he heard this.
The last generation is a succession.
That is, the younger brother of Guiguzi Zhao Yi.
At that time, Guiguzi regarded himself as the successor of this junior brother, and it turned out to be called Kuaiche.
And what interests him even more is.
Immortals?
Is the immortal they are talking about the immortal they understand?
Listened for a while.
When the group had rested enough, they rode away.
Lian Po also got up.
Seeing that Jiang Taiyi didn't move, he looked at Lian Po and said with a smile: "Perhaps, this is our place of separation." ”
He was interested in the alchemists and immortals that the group of people had said, and he already had the intention of going to take a look.
Lian Po also understood, the old general clasped his fists, was silent for a moment, and said: "Sir, take care, the old man has taken a step first, or if there is a chance, ......"
The second half of the sentence was not spoken, as if he knew bitterly that at his age, it was almost impossible to meet anyone again.
He closed his eyes and smiled, adding a bit of open-mindedness.
Nodding at Jiang Taiyi, he untied the rope that tied the horse, and after straddle the horse with difficulty, he hugged his fists and slapped the horse towards the homeland of Wei.
watched Lian Po leave.
Jiang Taiyi sat in place for a moment, then slowly got up and looked back in the direction of Zhao Guo.
Qin State Chang An Jun Chengjiao led a large army to attack Zhao State, I don't know if Zhao State is up and down, will he miss Lian Po at this time?
