Early morning.

Windy City.

Bustling streets.

A young man drove a carriage, but he did not have the vigor of a young man, but was a little pathetic.

Blind to the hustle and bustle around you!

"Beidi is destroyed!"

Someone in the crowd shouted

After a while, shouts came one after another.

The crowd began to stir, chatter, cheer!

The young man driving the carriage couldn't help but be shocked, and muttered to himself, "Extinguished?"

Then he quickly squeezed into the crowd, pulled a shouting man and asked, "What does it mean that Beidi is extinguished?"

"Perished, a notice was posted in the city," the man rejoiced, and was not in the slightest displeasure at the young man's unreasonableness.

The young man was obviously Zhang Ling, who came out with the old man with wine.

Zhang Ling still didn't believe it, he took the old man with wine and hurried overnight, and Beidi was wiped out in two or three days?

He placed the carriage next to an old man selling candy, asked to take care of it, and then ran quickly towards the city.

The side of the notice was crowded with people, and an old Xiucai inside was reading vividly, and some people in the crowd laughed and talked about it from time to time!

Zhang Ling quickly squeezed in, looked at the notice twice, and carefully confirmed the city lord's seal before believing that Beidi had really perished.

An old Xiucai next to him said: "Emperor Luan is eloquent, it seems that I will destroy a city in my Daluan, but in fact it is just a bait, uniting the hunting country in the west, the Yan country in the south, and the Shangyang country in the east, and the four-way coalition army will break through the capital of Beidi, and there will be no king of Beidi again, hahaha...... Happy, happy."

"Yes, Emperor Luan's majestic talent is my great luck."

"Uh-huh, yes"

Zhang Ling in the crowd, looking at this notice, there was no excitement and praise in his eyes, only pathos and resentment.

Squeezed out of the crowd, Zhang Ling, who was like a walking corpse, walked down the street.

In my mind, I kept recalling the tragic scene of the bloody battle of the soldiers of Lingyun City. The oath of the Lingyun City Lord to live and die with the city echoed in his ears over and over again.

At the head of the city, the soldiers are coming to the city, and the slogan of defending the family and defending the country is so harsh when I think about it now. Like a child. So funny!

Zhang Ling laughed self-deprecatingly, laughing a little inexplicably, like a fool.

It turned out that Lingyun City was just a decoy! All this was destined to be sacrificed.

Those who die will never know that all this is a chess game!

Walking to the river in the city, Zhang Ling looked at his reflection, unkempt!

Pull down the sergeant's badge hanging around his neck. Throw it into the river next to it and watch it drift away.

Then turn your back to the sky and take a deep breath.

Turning around, he walked towards the old man's carriage, and his steps were much lighter.

Back in the carriage, there was nothing in the carriage except the futon and a wine gourd that the old man never left his hand.

"Man?"

The old man of the wine regarded the wine gourd as more important than his own life, why didn't he bring it.

Zhang Ling had an ominous premonition, turned to the old man who sold the candy and asked, "Old man, ...... the people in my carriage?"

"Not long after you left, he came out and left". The candy seller's business was bleak, so remember it well.

"Awake? In which direction did he go?"

The old man who sold the candy pointed to the other side of the street, "Over there"

"Thank you," Zhang Ling walked quickly in the direction he pointed.

When I walked to the end of the street, I didn't find anyone.

Zhang Ling was a little anxious, standing on the street and looking back and forth.

"Auntie, have you ever seen an old man in black?"

"Boss, have you ever seen an old man in black?"

"The old man in black, did you pay attention just now?"

"Thin old man"

I asked around, but no one noticed.

......

"Hey, I don't have the money to eat Lao Tzu's wine for nothing, call me"

With a pop, a man was thrown out of a tavern.

A boss with a big waist and a round waist crossed his waist and scolded.

A group of small servants kept kicking and beating, and the man on the ground kept rolling, causing many people to stop for a while.

The street, which was not very spacious, was suddenly congested.

"Hmph, don't inquire, my Liu Ba's tavern also dares to eat overlord meals, call me"

The boss pointed to the man on the ground

The crowd is mostly a few spectators who like to be lively, pointing and pointing unexpectedly.

......

"Hey, someone ate the overlord meal, and they actually ate it to Liu Ba"

"Heh, who is so bold, Liu Ba also dares to eat white food"

"No, it must be an outsider."

"The last guy who dared to eat the overlord meal in Liu Ba's tavern, now he has to carry a crutch when he goes out, hey!"

"It's been a year now."

"That guy deserves to be unlucky, Liu Ba drank too much that day, and he was really ruthless."

"That guy won't be better today, he was still holding a wine jug and drinking when he was beaten"

The three of them were chatting at a street tea stall. The foaming stars are flying, and the conversation is energetic.

"A few big brothers, where is Liu Ba's tavern?" Zhang Ling was also tired after looking for more than half an hour, and was buying tea to drink, and heard a few people talking.

At first, Zhang Ling didn't care, but when he heard the man talk about being beaten, he was still holding the wine jug, and he was a little worried.

"Walk straight along the street, and the first one at the intersection of the west of the city is it," one person replied with a glance at Zhang Ling

One of the men chuckled and said, "Hey, young man, let's see the excitement, that's quick, it's too late."

Zhang Ling hurriedly paid for the tea and rushed to the west of the city.

One person smiled: "I like to watch the excitement, and I'm in a hurry"

The three of them laughed as they spoke.

Zhang Ling didn't have the heart to listen to them talk about it anymore, he was just anxious to find the old man with wine, and secretly prayed in his heart: "It won't be the old man with wine, but besides him, who can see wine as more important than life, the old man with wine has such a high level of kung fu, it won't be him, it must not be"

But obviously thinking that it wasn't him, his steps unconsciously spontaneously faster.

Run to the corner of the west of the city and see that the lively crowd has dispersed and the bustling street has returned to its original appearance.

Zhang Ling saw from a distance that a group of beggars were squatting in the corner at the mouth of the alley not far away, resting and avoiding the sun.

An old man in black clothes also squatted in it, not who was the old man who was drinking, but his dirty appearance at the moment was more like a beggar than a beggar, and he blended into it perfectly.

Zhang Ling walked over quickly, and saw that the old man was injured, and Zhang Ling had anger on his face: "Old man, what's the matter, you were the one the tavern owner beat just now?"

The old man grinned at Zhang Ling, smiled and didn't answer, just raised the broken wine jug above his head and raised his head to drink to the spout.

The wine jug was already empty, and he couldn't pour half a drop, and the old man patted the jug anxiously, and his eyes looked into the jug according to the spout, and shook it in his ears. muttered in his mouth:

"No, no, empty, empty"

Saliva from the mouth flowed onto the placket.

"Don't ask, crazy"

A person named Hanako next to him couldn't stand it and reminded.

Zhang Ling was stunned, the old man couldn't be really crazy.

Did you suffer a lot of internal injuries before, and you finally woke up and went crazy? Or did the group of people beat me just now? No!

He should have gone crazy when he woke up, otherwise who could hurt him.

Hurriedly put it on the pulse of the old man, the pulse was stable, but he couldn't feel a trace of true qi.

Zhang Ling was shocked: "All the true qi is lost?"
