Chapter 262: Bandits also have a way
Raven stood beside him and gestured to the wilderness beneath the walls.
Although it was nearly dark, his remaining eye was frighteningly bright.
"In the past, I used to follow the great generals, and I fought bloody battles in this territory, along with many brothers...... We rode horses, hummed songs, stepped on the wolf's head banner of the barbarians, laughed loudly, and returned triumphantly! Every inch of land here has our footprints, and every blade of grass has heard the legend of the Lin family......
"Speaking of which, when you were just born, the brothers were happy in their hearts, and most of the men who joined the army at that time were still some single men who had not yet started a family, you were such a small group, you could raise one hand, everyone rushed to look at you, hugged you, and made an appointment to go to the deep mountains of Silver Snake Pass to fight a wolf, and peeled the skin to make a gift for you......"
"Also, look at this saber," the raven handed the weapon in his hand to Zhu'an's eyes, and a faint light of fire jumped on the tip of the knife, as if rippling with infinite nostalgia and longing, "This is handed over to me by the general himself, and I have always carried it with me, and I have never left my body for a moment...... Look, its blade is still so bright!"
"There are too many things left on this land, whether it is life or death, the time at that time is really nostalgic!"
Zhu'an saw that the raven's eyes were faintly glowing with water.
Isn't that nostalgic?
They stood quietly side by side, looking down together, sharing the peace of the last moments before the war.

After a moment of silence, the raven asked, "Where did you go to great lengths to evacuate the people of Dock City?"
"When I came to the northwest, I passed by a neighboring city, which was vast and sparsely populated, much stronger than the war-torn northwest, and could accommodate the people temporarily. When the fighting has subsided, the people will still have to return to the northwest. ”
After all, if a piece of land is deprived of human reproduction, it will also have no soul and no original intention.
The raven laughed meaninglessly, with a touch of disgust that was difficult to get rid of, "It is said that poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, I have been here for a long time, and I really think that it is such a reason, how can it be worth your trouble...... It's just a thankless task. Of course, I'm also what people call a big scourge, and naturally it's not worth it. ”
Zhu An didn't accuse the raven of the malice in his words, but said lightly: "Not for anything else, just do what I have to do." ”
When he said this, the raven seemed to be able to see the shadow of the great general from him, and his attitude softened, "Okay, since it is your decision, I have nothing to say." So what are you going to do? You're not leaving?"
"Well, someone has to stay and guard." If I don't know, maybe I will help people in an unknown city at this time, and I don't have to worry about it, but I know, and if I know, how can I stand idly by. There are no eggs under the nest, the world is in danger, and the husband is responsible, although I am a meager strength, but I can hold for as long as I can, at least let the army have room to fight back. ”
The raven stroked his palms and laughed, and praised: "Benevolence is respectable, worthy of being the child of the great general! ”
He clasped his fingers to his lips, and a bright whistle sounded, cutting through the wilderness, as if it were some kind of summoning signal.
Soon, there was a rumbling sound on the plain outside the city, and a rapid sound of horses' hooves came to this side, and the momentum was huge, and several soldiers standing guard on the side looked at each other, worried that the enemy was suddenly attacking, and tightened their weapons in their hands.
In the dark night, with a torch in one hand and a tiger in the other, he waved his horsewhip vigorously, shouting and shouting indiscriminately in his mouth, making a noise, like a large group of ravens pressing the city.
If you count carefully, there are actually not many people, but this group of sand bandits is stunned to create a momentum of thousands of troops, and the posture looks like they are preparing to rob the house, burn and loot.
The soldiers were dumbfounded, and the ravens laughed.
This picture is really interesting, he used to raise this group of sand bandits, deliberately to punish the timid and ungrateful people, and he has always trained them with the specifications of the army, but it is still quite good, but he did not expect that one day, he will help the people he dislikes.
Zhu'an turned his head to look at the raven, puzzled.
Sensing his gaze, the raven quickly shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands to explain: " I told them that the enemy was going to kill in, but I couldn't take care of their lives, so they should flee for their lives, but no one was willing to go, so they had to follow me, saying that the bandits in this world had never robbed the Gentiles, and today I had to come to kill the majesty of the barbarians, rob the Huns, and do this, so as to set an example for the bandits and robbers in the world, how good the ambition is not, and I can't stop it. ”
As soon as he heard that the raven was talking nonsense, Zhu'an's eyes moved slightly, and he didn't know how to answer, and he knew that it was not something he could control, so he could only solemnly bend down and salute, "Thank you." ”
Although he is a bandit and has a bad record, he can bear this gift by thinking about the country and standing up at this time.
Raven was stunned for a moment and smiled, "Be polite to me, if you really want to thank me, can you...... Let me call you Xiao'er. ”

Probably no one would know how much courage it took for Raven to make such a small request.
He recently checked for a long time before he learned that he had forgotten his worries and was relieved.
If Mrs. Cheng's senior brother was saved by Forget Sorrow, everything would have been figured out, but fortunately, it was Mr. Forget Sorrow who protected General Lin's bloodline back then, so it's no wonder that no one talked about it after that, and no one pursued it anymore.
Quell this matter and cut off the source of the disaster, that medical immortal has the ability to do it, so changing Lin Xiao's name can also understand his good intentions.
Chase peace, chase peace, a lifetime, all you chase is peace and security.
He had already recognized Lin Xiao when he first saw him, but he didn't dare to recognize him, and he didn't have the face to recognize him.
He always thinks that he is guilty, just like the eye he plucked out by self-punishment, the wound will never heal, and his guilt will never be erased.
How dare the guilty man be delusional?
The war was approaching, and the people stationed in the northwest were evacuated one by one, except for the top and bottom of Wucheng, all the villages were also notified one by one, and even the sand bandit nest also received the news.
After all, even if the sand bandits do all the bad things on weekdays, in the final analysis, they are the people of the Chaoyue Kingdom, and they can't watch them being crushed by the enemy's iron cavalry.
Although he only sent someone to inform them to leave as soon as possible to avoid the fighting, and did not arrange for them to accompany the people, it was already a rare exhortation.
Perhaps, invest in it and repay it with a peach. The bandits chose to stay and help, but only to repay the kind reminder of Chai'an.
It is also because of this that Raven chooses to return to this war, which can be regarded as finally making up for a little guilt in his heart.
He had thought that he would die on the battlefield, like so many of his unrelated brethren, but he had been cowardly and had fled, and now he saw such an opportunity, and he would not run away anymore, he was going to look for his brethren.
Knowing the fate he was about to face, he no longer had any worries in this world, and he couldn't help but have a little delusional courage.
It's okay to be rejected, at least he's taken this step.
The general Jiuquanxia will also be very relieved to learn about it.
How do you want to chase An, but said: "When it comes to seniority, it is not an exaggeration for the younger generation to call me uncle, and it is natural to call me a milk name." ”
The raven trembled in his heart, restrained the trembling all over his body, and called tentatively and cautiously, "Lin Xiao...... Shaw. ”
"Well, it's me. ”
With a sigh, the raven only felt hazy tears, and his heart suddenly lightened.
It was a strange feeling, and the long-cherished wish of many years of heart disease was quietly gentle.
The red dust grievances, the sour center, have become a line of words written when I dream back at midnight, which can be kneaded into the long time of my life.
"When I first met the general, the war was flying, and it was difficult to dream back.
The staff and shoes were sacrificed from the glass of wine, and the tears flew into Cuiwei. ”
After patiently waiting for the raven to calm down, Chase An asked him a question.
"Can I know your name, then?"
"Raven?"
"You know I didn't mean that. ”
"Well...... It's been so long that I've forgotten it. ”
