Chapter 177: Cogears
The head of the Sky Wolf King City.
After Ye 13 left, the sun fell, and the afterglow of dusk stretched the shadow of the spear that was broken in two very long, Yi Xiao sat on the edge of the city, the lotus clothes were blown around by the wind, and his eyes flashed with indescribable things.
He looked at the land of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the distance, in the darkness that gradually fell, the lights outlined the outline of the mountain, the iron horsemen under the city handled the corpses, and the fire in the sky carried a bloody breath.
The evening breeze blew the smell of bones.
Some men came up to the top of the city, and sat down beside them, silent.
"Qi Shu's injury is not serious, but Wang Luo was seriously injured and is now recuperating in the Great Banyan Temple, and the matter on the front line is ...... If you break through the Sky Wolf King City, you don't need to take action again for the rest, so as not to cause more trouble. ”
Xiao Buyi raised his hands and put them behind his head, and said, "After Ye Shisan goes back, I don't know what the attitude of the South China Sea is, if you insist on interfering, let the Holy Island intervene in the checks and balances...... What are you thinking?"
From Yi Xiao's arrival on the battlefield to the end of the siege of the Heavenly Wolf King City, the meeting time between the two did not exceed ten breaths, just a glance of contact between the distance, Yi Xiao rode away, attacked the city alone, and there was no more communication after that.
At this point, there is an opportunity to sit down and have a serious talk.
"I'm thinking...... There are things that we know are destined to happen, but when they happen, we still can't accept them. ”
Yi Xiao paused lightly and said, "For example...... War. ”
"War is inevitable, we have a sword in our hands, defeat the enemy in front of us, in order to make the people behind us live better, if we don't do this, we are the dead side, and no one will mourn the loser. ”
The expression of the Second Highness sitting at the head of the city was quite calm, "If Luoyang does not fall for a day, Lanling City will not stop." ”
Yi Xiao hummed softly: "I know." Murder is unavoidable, and the success or failure of a country should not be stopped by any factor. ”
He thought about it for a long time, as if he was organizing the language, and he was able to express himself correctly.
"I want to say...... I thought it wouldn't be our turn. ”
Xiao Buyi was stunned, turned his head to look at Yi Xiao, His Royal Highness also put his hands behind his head, fell towards the city, looked up at the starry sky, and blinked: "I thought that Xiao Wang and the teacher would settle all this for us, and it was not our turn to worry about ......."
Yi Xiao closed her eyes, and the wind in her ears was swirling, and it seemed that the bloody breath was not so heavy.
It's like many years ago, at the head of Lanling City.
The two of them seem to have returned to their childhood.
"It's like it happened yesterday...... The fire under the city does not look like a cremation of corpses, like a bonfire of celebration, at this hour, I should go back to Jingtao Hall to study, maybe in a short time, I will get in a carriage, leave from Lanling City, all the way across the river to the Northern Wei Dynasty to make a living. ”
"I thought that in my life, I only needed to study. ”
"Xiao Wang and his iron cavalry will break through the Qijiang River and bulldoze the army of Luoyang. The teacher will become Qi Liang's strongest backing, but this is ...... What's the point?" The young man with his eyes closed, his heart beating slowly and steadily, softly spat out a few words: "In that case, I will die at the age of sixteen." ”
Xiao Buyi pressed his hands on his knees, looking down at the firelight under the city, crowded and dense, sparse and scattered black and white spots, busy soldiers, dead white bones, these are all blurred.
The scene he saw under the city that year, if it weren't for the pungent bloody smell on his face, would actually be not much different from now.
Sometimes there's a fine line between death and rebirth.
There is no joy in being killed or killed.
Only by ending this war and making people forget about death can we forget the pain for a short time.
His Royal Highness said: "We have come this far and put in a lot of effort, which is not easy. ”
"Try to survive and change the world. ”
Xiao Buyi said softly and firmly: "Pay the price for this...... No excuses. ”
Yi Xiao opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Buyi, he smiled: "You are really a person who is naturally suitable to sit in that seat, I remember when you were in Thunder City, you were not such a stubborn person, when did you start to become so determined?"
Xiao Buyi scolded with a smile, then restrained his smile, and said seriously and seriously: "When you die." ”
The atmosphere at the head of the city fell silent.
His Royal Highness, who pressed his hands on his knees, exhaled a breath of turbid air with his fingertips slightly, and said with a smile: "When Xiao Chongding died, I didn't realize what it meant, the death of my relatives made me feel painful, but after you died, I realized it...... Pain doesn't change anything, I want to live well. ”
Yi Xiao quipped lightly: "The degree of a person's enlightenment is exactly equal to the depth of his suffering...... I'm dead, and you're finally starting to spare your life?"
Xiao Buyi said: "Live...... in order to have a future. ”
"There are too many things I have to do, destroying Wei is just the beginning...... Second Highness looked at Yi Xiao and said in a solemn tone: "Xiao Wang's health is not good, before he falls, I want him to see that Luoyang fell first, and the royal court of Mobei fell." I want to destroy Wei, I want to destroy demons, I want to close the two sides of the Qi River, and complete the ...... of the confluence of the north and the south."
Finally, there was a long pause.
Xiao Buyi stared at Yi Xiao's eyes, word by word, extremely serious, extremely heavy.
"I'm going to ...... Kill the teacher. ”
......
......
"Kill the teacher...... I'm going to do this after Luoyang falls. ”
It was not Xiao Buyi who said this, but Yi Xiao.
Yi Xiao sat up straight, he stared at the eyes of the Second Highness, "You...... When did you find out?"
"There is a survivor in Lujia Town called 'Rouge'. ”
Xiao Buyi's words were concise and to the point, trying to calm his voice: "This woman is now 'protected', and she has not used Tianque, but the power of the Seven Families, and she is imprisoned in Lanling City...... After the teacher left Lanling City, he still had a very high degree of control over Tianque, whether he gave up worldly power or not, I need to figure out what he is trying to do. ”
"The blind man is still alive, and he shot an arrow over the town of Lujia...... This arrow shattered Gu Shengcheng's patience and also shattered the idea of peace in the Western Regions. ”
When Yi Xiao heard the news, she stopped talking, and finally remained silent.
"A lot of things are a mystery, and it won't take long to solve this mystery, but I don't have more mental strength right now......" Xiao Buyi shook his head: "If you all die, then I don't know how much chance I have to win." ”
"The good thing is...... You're alive. ”
Xiao Buyi suddenly grinned and said, "And he lives so well." ”
The head of the Heavenly Wolf King City, raised its head to the starry sky, lowered its head to the fire to linger.
The dead people, the corpses are incinerated in the firelight, the souls rise into the sky, and it is said that they will become stars in the sky, but Yi Xiao knows that there is nothing in the sky, and the number of those stars does not change depending on how many people die.
Surviving is a simple thing, but surviving a war is a hard thing.
Not just hard, but painful.
The two people at the head of the city, sitting under the starry sky and above the firelight, are like ferrymen wandering on the boundary between life and death.
A person suddenly said: "Leave this matter to me, don't be distracted before Luoyang breaks through." ”
The other person smiled and said, "Okay." ”
......
......
"This city is called Liangjia City. ”
Misty drizzle.
The young man in the white robe stood in the snow and said softly: "The Heavenly Wolf King City is broken, Xuan Shangyu will try to persuade Jiang Qingyi to fight against Qi Liang with the Northern Wei Dynasty and repel the southerners...... So soon, Liangjia City will usher in a very important negotiation. ”
Yi Xiaoan stood beside Yuan Tiangang, her black robe was covered with a layer of miserable white snow, her eyes looked at Liangjia City, she listened to the teacher beside her speak, and walked through the Heavenly Wolf King City along the way.
"Ning Fengsleeve will die at the head of Sky Wolf City, and he will be pierced through the heart and lungs by a sword. Mrs. Ning hanged herself in the palace, the two maids in the palace threw themselves into the well, and the general Zhang Wenyuan committed suicide and gave up the idea of leading the troops to resist, so Qi Liang was able to slaughter the Heavenly Wolf King City so easily. ”
"There is a survivor in the Heavenly Wolf King City who has escaped, he is the scout of the sixteenth group of Senluo Dao, he will bypass Fengting City and arrive in Luoyang, and pass the battle report to Cao Zhixuan. ”
"The Western Defense Line will withdraw the Zhong family's men, but the cultivator surnamed Duan will stay...... He was the only hope of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and soon he would arrive at Liangjia City and be the protagonist of this negotiation. ”
After a pause.
Yuan Tiangang said with a smile: "One." ”
Yi Xiaoan was silent for a long time.
Yuan Tiangang said softly: "If Cao Zhixuan is willing to apologize to Jiang Qingyi and really pay enough sincerity, then Xiguan may really be willing to join forces with Luoyang to fight against a strong enemy...... Everyone understands the truth of cold lips and teeth, and for Ethereal Po, there is no point in seeing the future of hatred. ”
Yi Xiaoan only felt that the teacher standing next to him had a smiling appearance that made people shudder.
Bai Rong flew, the boy seemed to stand at the commanding heights of the river of time, looking at the river flowing back and forth, whether it was the future or the present, saying it in his mouth was like a history that was set to happen.
Cao Zhixuan apologized to Jiang Qingyi, and Luoyang and Xilian joined forces......
Yi Xiaoan repeated the word in confusion.
"......What if?"
Yuan Tiangang knew she would say that.
The boy smiled.
"It's just a pity that there is no if. ”
"Cao Zhixuan is a person who will not change, he will not apologize, let alone admit that he was wrong, he came to Liangjia City to kill Jiang Qingyi and close Xiguan with more iron-blooded means. ”
Yi Xiaoan pursed her lips, and she exhaled a breath of hot air.
"So we're here, what are we going to do?"
Yuan Tiangang closed his eyes and said with a smile.
"Don't do anything, just quietly...... Just look at it. ”
Heavy snow fell in Liangjia City.
Two figures stood between heaven and earth.
Between heaven and earth, after the heavy snowfall, it is as if huge gears emerge, bite each other, and then slowly rotate.
