Chapter 261: Goodbye Raven
The remnant sun is like blood, and the jackdaw weeps tears.
The people who had withdrawn from the city of Dock hurried silently and cooperatively with the help of the soldiers, their shadows dragging diagonally on the ground, their footsteps echoing across the icy wasteland, no one speaking or protesting.
Naturally, not everyone was willing to leave at first, and many old people who had lived here all their lives were reluctant to leave Dock City just like that.
They told the soldiers that they were all dying anyway, and if they died, they would die, and they would have to die in their own homes.
However, a group of men in armor made a solemn promise to them that soon you would be back again, but only to ask them to leave home for a while.
Therefore, the mother protects the child, the children support the elderly, and they are in groups, and Lu Lu is far away, worried.
It was nostalgia for the homeland, worry about the homeland.
When will I be able to come back?
Probably this was the only question they wanted to ask after receiving the order to abandon the city and evacuate.
Although the materials in the northwest are scarce and the conditions are harsh, which is not as rich and lush as the Central Plains, the people living in this land still have a deep love for it.
The huge dock city was empty after the last group of evacuated teams left, and the soldiers who stayed behind were also stationed in the dock city in time.
The city was clearly uninhabited, and the lights were still lit up in the evening.
Du Luobin searched for a long time, only to find that Mu Feibai and Shuhua were following at the end of the line.
They rode side by side, looking in the direction of the Dock City and whispering something to each other, and their faces were heavy, when they saw him driving their horses over, they stopped talking.
Du Luobin's mind has always been straightforward, there are no twists and turns, and he won't think much about it when he encounters such a situation in the past, however, at that moment, Du Luobin suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility in his heart.
Is it his heart?
He hurriedly leaned over and opened his mouth to ask, "Mu Gongzi, can you tell me the truth, how Gongzi plans to defend the city?"
Mu Feibai asked rhetorically, "Why does the general ask like this?"
I don't know if I was scared by myself, Du Luobin explained incoherently: "Gongzi didn't say anything to me, he only said that he believed him, I naturally believed in Gongzi, but I feel like it now...... Childe seems to be hiding something from everyone! He told me to take care of myself when he planned to abandon the city, and there was ...... At that time, he didn't want to stay with one of his brothers, so he asked us all to leave, and we all left the northwest camp, and said that there was no guarantee that there would be no worries about our lives, so what should we do...... I'm not suspicious of Childe, I'm just wondering if it's what I guessed, Childe is going to ...... Mu Gongzi, can you tell me, Miss Liu?"
Shuhua glanced at him lightly and looked away, unwilling to respond to Du Luobin's question.
Mu Feibai sighed and didn't answer directly, "General, since you chose to believe in him before, it's good to continue to believe in him now, if it's him, even if he fights alone, he will definitely be able to do it." I've always believed in him. ”
His words undoubtedly confirmed Du Luobin's conjecture, and he chuckled in his heart and regretted it suddenly.
How could he be so stupid!
It was clear that he had been appointed by Zhu'an's side during this period, and Zhu'an had also hinted at him, but he was so busy that he didn't even think about anything.
Du Luobin got up in a hurry, grabbed the reins and was about to turn back, "No! How can this work? I have to go and get my son back!"
Dream Weaver Girl has ...... Nothing can happen to Cha'an!
"General Du......" Mu Feibai took a deep breath, sat on the horseback and closed his eyes, "If you are not helpless, who wants to do that?"
“...... But ......" Du Luobin's face was solemn and he subconsciously wanted to defend, but he couldn't say anything.
It's sad to say that.
The current morning moon has fallen to this point, from prosperity to decay, and even the city guarding one side has to be pressed on the shoulders of one person.
He clenched his fists, he had fought for so many years, he had never seen anything life and death, and he often felt that he was not afraid of heaven and earth, and he was fearless, but during this time, he began to feel powerless again and again.
In the face of the chaos of the world, can a person only be so small?
Seeing his appearance, a heavy smile climbed on Mu Feibai's face, and he raised his hand and patted Du Luobin's shoulder armor, "Don't live up to his efforts, let's go, I will definitely come back!"
Du Luobin gritted his teeth, nodded vigorously, and looked back with a pair of red eyes, on the vast wasteland, the black and swarthy walls of Wucheng shrank into a withered shadow, like the end of a sad song.
○
After midnight, it was the tenth day.
When the sun rises at dawn, the Huns' iron cavalry will invade the land and bring war.
When Zhu'an climbed the wall of Wucheng alone, he seemed to be able to see the wolf-headed flag of the Hun barracks hunting and flying in the strong wind from a distance.
He looked back in the direction of the Central Plains, the torches were shining, and the crowd of people who had gone to take refuge was like a winding fire snake, jumping more and more in the night, moving forward, becoming more and more blurred.
Many times, he doesn't think about things as a general, he is just glad to have such an opportunity, fortunately, he can protect the lives of so many people before the war burns.
But the girl he loved was no longer here.
When Weaving Dreams disappeared, Rong Lian, who had been in the northwest for too long, left a letter saying that he had an urgent matter to go back to Qingcheng, and he could only pray secretly, and at that time, Rong Lian helped Weaving Dreams.
At least then, Rong Lian will definitely be able to protect the weaving dream.
At least, in that case, Dream Weaver would still be alive.
He looked forward to it over and over again, praying, and he was afraid that even such an illusion would be in vain.
At this moment, someone was making a noise about coming up to the city wall, interrupting Zhu'an's mourning, and he turned to look.
I saw that the person who came was dressed in a black robe, and he was still carrying a sharp and shiny long saber in his hand, and his right eye was blindfolded, and the only left eye was slender and cold, like a pit viper in the desert, looking straight in his direction.
The soldiers who stayed with Zhu'an had been in the northwest for a long time, and naturally they quickly recognized the man as the notorious sand bandit raven, and they were afraid and afraid, as if they were facing a great enemy, and vigilantly surrounded the raven with weapons, trying to drive the raven out of the city.
Who knows what kind of heart this raven has in An, this head sneaked into the dock city.
However, in the face of the small soldiers' obstruction, the raven just impatiently rounded the saber in his hand and waved, the soldiers could not stand the force of the force at all, and they could not stop his castration.
The soldiers also surrounded the raven, looking at Zhu'an with a bitter and vengeful expression.
Seeing that Zhu'an looked at him, the raven didn't force his way closer, and stood still with his saber on his shoulder, his eyes still fixed on Zhu'an.
Zhu'an opened his mouth to stop the little soldier's obstruction, and reassured: "It's okay, let him come over." ”
The raven then dusted off the non-existent dust on the hem of his coat, glanced at the soldiers, and snorted ruffianly, "Just say don't stop me, I'm not here to look for you." ”
After finishing speaking, he slowly shook over, but his eyes were closely looking at Zhu'an who was wearing light armor, and he felt a sense of relief in his heart.
This is the general's child.
In the past, it was the general who joined the barracks, and now, his children have also come here, standing in the same position, perhaps, following them, this is his fate.
“...... What do you come to do. ”
Instead of answering directly, Raven asked, "Do you know who I am?"
Chase An fell silent.
Originally, he pinned his hopes on the raven, and wanted to hear from him about the secrets of the past, perhaps, at that time, it would be better to learn the truth from the raven's mouth than now, and he could resolutely leave the northwest and go to Luoyang to meet Wei Feng and take his life.
There is no need to face the current difficult predicament, there is no need to choose between the lives of the people in the northwest and the recovery of the weaving dream, let alone lose the weaving dream, and personally understand the cruelty of the war...... Of course, that sounds like an excuse to escape.
In the circle, he and the raven missed, and Wei Feng came to the northwest again by accident, and they met directly and unabashedly exposed all kinds of scars in the past.
Well, it doesn't matter who the raven is, even if you guess it.
Seeing that Zhu'an didn't answer, the raven didn't say anything, just lowered his head and smiled, without the cold and angry atmosphere when they met for the first time, and the whole person was gentle.
It is always said that heart disease is difficult to treat, so to be able to see the general's child again in the rest of his life has fulfilled his long-cherished wish in his heart for many years.
Just for the sake of meeting again at this moment, he has no regrets in his death.
