Chapter 42 Drinking
The cool breeze at the gate of Zifeng Mountain seeps through the bones, and the dense clouds that are very heavy and the sky that is extremely dim all year round gives people a feeling of suffocation. At this moment, everyone present could feel endless sadness, but what could not breathe was the desolate laughter of the man.
Daning Tianzi stared at Jiang Huo's deeply sunken shoulders, armless empty sleeves, and weather-beaten half of his pale face, and his eyes showed guilt. His tone was slightly depressed, and he said, "No matter what you become, you are the Yunyan General of Daning. Even if you die, your soul will live forever with Daning's 400,000 Cloud Flame Iron Horse!" His tone was very resolute, as if he was telling an indisputable fact!
Jiang Huo's eyes showed a lot of worry. As if time had passed, the cloud flame soldiers on the battlefield were like gods of war fighting bravely to kill the enemy, hissing and shouting, and the picture of the blood-stained long placket resurfaced in my mind!
Jiang Huo silently chanted, "Cloud Flame Iron Rider ......"
"I have never abandoned those 400,000 Cloud Flame Iron Riders, never! They are friends with me in life and death, and they are brothers who share honor and disgrace. But twelve years ago, you listened to the traitor's lies, and all 113 people in my Jiang Mansion were buried in the fire overnight, and there were no bones left!"
Jiang Huo's old and weak eyes began to surge at this moment, and the long-extinguished fire of anger in his heart was rekindled in the darkness, boiling the blood veins of his body. He roared like a mad beast, "That night was the nightmare of a lifetime, and their burning bodies fell in front of me, releasing the smell of burning! Dense arrows rained down from the sky, each arrow pierced deep into my heart, and the fire engulfed half of my face, half of my body! I didn't hate you at the time, I just wondered, why...... Why did the country I have devoted my life to defend betray me, and why did my most beloved majesty abandon me? Although I did not die that day, what is the difference between this and death...... A man abandoned by his own country, a general abandoned by the king, what kind of general is ......" At the end of the sentence, Jiang Huo's anger turned to desolation and silence, as if he had lost his soul, and he was even more decadent and powerless.
Jiang Huo said that.
Daning Tianzi is listening, Xia Yao is listening, Bei Mingxuan is listening, and Aman is listening......
Aman's eyes staring at Jiang Huo seemed to be warm, and he said silently: "This ...... Is that your past...... Uncle Jiang. ”
Daning Tianzi's face was as hot as frost, he calmed down a little, and said sincerely: "I am the person who made you end up like this, and the person you should hate is also me." Do you know that since the news spread that you were burned by the fire, this tiger and wolf army that had been able to hold out for three days without rice and food in the vast snowy mountains began to decline! Today, the entire Yunyan Xiaoyong is gone, and even some third-rate guards guarding the city pass can't compare!"
Seeing Jiang Huo's bleak face, he was extremely sad, and the Son of Heaven of Daning said: "In recent years, the Yansha Country adjacent to the northern wilderness region of Daning has gradually become stronger. I even raided the northern city pass of Daning a month ago, and I sent a large number of troops north to regain the lost territory, but they all returned with heavy losses! The generals who returned to the north once admonished: "The fierceness of the Yansha soldiers and horses is not the enemy of the Yunyan Army of the year." In fact, I knew a few years ago that you did not die in the fire that burned down Jiangfu twelve years ago, and you went to the rivers and lakes. I don't want to bother you again for so many years, but now that the national crisis is at hand, I have to come to look for you!"
Jiang Huo listened to him quietly, was silent for a moment, as if he had made an important decision, and took a long breath, and his tense body instantly relaxed.
He didn't look at Daning Tianzi again, slowly turned around and walked towards the mountain gate.
Seeing this, the Son of Heaven of Daning was disappointed for a while, and an anxious and unwilling look appeared on his face. Gazing at the afterimage of Jiang Huo's slight bow, his eyes were mostly helpless and the repentance of the absurd behavior of twelve years ago. He still raised his voice and roared with begging:
"Jiang Huo, be a Cloud Flame General again, for your 400,000 Cloud Flame Iron Horsemen, for the tens of millions of Daning people!"
The breeze sent the voice of the Son of Heaven to Jiang Huo's ears, but it failed to make the man's footsteps stop in the slightest. Perhaps he had died twelve years ago, and it would have been impossible for him to have General Yunyan anymore......
Seeing Jiang Huo's back disappear into the darkness, Daning Tianzi's clenched fist finally loosened.
He never looked back.
Daning Tianzi, who looked at him, shook his head and sighed heavily, with the word helplessness written on his face.
After a while, Bei Mingxuan said casually: "Since Brother Jiang has made his choice and does not want to enter the court as a general, please go back quickly!"
Bei Mingxuan's sentence attracted everyone's surprised eyes. Yu Qianqian was even more dissatisfied, and secretly glanced at Bei Mingxuan. Even if Bei Mingxuan is not afraid of heaven and earth, and can go out of the triple realm, but if he offends the monarch, even if Bei Gufeng is capable, he will not dare to compete with the Daning Dynasty!
Bei Gu Feng immediately reprimanded: "Xuan'er, don't be rude to today's saints!"
Bei Mingxuan also knew that he shouldn't be in the limelight at this time, so he immediately let out an "oh" and didn't dare to say anything more. Yu Qianqian had already leaned to her side, pinching twice with little force, but a pair of delicate eyes looked at Bei Mingxuan like a copper bell, as if to say: "You don't want to die, the saint dares to rush today!"
On the other hand, the Son of Daning did not seem to be dissatisfied with Bei Mingxuan's reckless words. A handsome face was sullen and unhappy, naturally because of Jiang Huo, who had just left.
Bei Gu Feng raised his hand slightly, and was about to say something, but was preempted by the Son of Daning, "Sect Master Bei, since Jiang Huo is no longer willing to be General Daning, I won't force it, I hope he can lighten those pains in the rivers and lakes in Tianmo......" At the end of the words, he showed great regret and sadness, but it also seemed to be a relief.
Bei Gu Feng said slowly and helplessly: "If Jiang Huo has a heart, still thinks of those brotherhoods, and cares about the people of Daning, he will go back." ”
"That's the case, Northern Sect Master, there are many disturbances today, so don't leave it at that!" said Daning Tianzi.
Bei Gu Feng also returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Holy ...... It's just ...... down the hill."
Although Bei Gu Feng's words were subtle, Daning Tianzi was also a smart person who understood a little bit, and instantly understood what Bei Gu Feng meant, "Don't worry, Bei Sect Master, I will go down the mountain and let Uncle Huang dismiss the soldiers and horses!"
Bei Gu Feng smiled and bowed, "It's hard work." ”
On this day, the emperor's uncle withdrew his troops, and the emperor of Daning left......
......
Bei Gu Feng greeted Yu Wanshan with a few words and walked to his residence, Yu Qianqian's "big revenge" was not reported, and Bei Mingxuan was naturally not happy, so he had no time to entertain Ah Ying and Ah Man.
Following Xia Yao, after Ah Ying traveled for a distance, Ah Man finally couldn't hold back the worries in his heart, he said eagerly: "Brother Yao, sister, Uncle Jiang is definitely not feeling well now, I'll go over and accompany him!" For this man who brought himself out of the Broken Cloud Pavilion, the man who single-handedly blocked the jackals and beasts in Cangjie Mountain to win life for himself, and the man who was tormented physically and mentally by the tragic fate, it was impossible for Ah Man to ignore it, what he wanted to do, all he could do was some insignificant comfort, as long as he could feel a little warmth, it was enough!
Ah Man walked to Jiang Huo's residence, but Ah Ying did not return to the room, and her calm eyes stared at the cliff that had made her chest nauseous and her brain ach for a long time.
In the hellish darkness, in the silence filled with purple light, a thin figure slowly walked in the distance.
Although she wasn't sure if this Demon Sect giant sect was related to her, she could vaguely feel that there was something of her own in the cliff where the purple light was most intense on the purple peak of Wushan Mountain!
At the cliff stands a withered pine several feet high. This is a perennial pine tree, and the grass that Panasonic has been with for many years has lost its vitality during this season. Except for some loose gravel, there is nothing else.
Under the cliff, it should only belong to the place where the birds fly, and there should only be a stone platform that is not big or small on the cliff that should only be touched by clouds and smoke.
This stone platform is more than a zhang, and the location is not too far from the top of the cliff, as long as there is a little bit of qi vein, you can go down.
Ah Ying, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, took a deep look at the stone platform with faint purple light, and could really feel that there was indeed something waiting for him under the cliff, waiting for him to have it!
Recklessly, Ah Ying didn't think much about it, and flew down with his qi veins......
