Chapter 1052: The song ends and people disperse
For Tang Zhan, he is a descendant of the Tang family, inheriting the mission of the family, not only shouldering the heavy responsibility of atoning for his father's sins, but also determined to expel the tyranny and save the common people, and at the same time not forgetting the oath and agreement with his brothers; Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, now these two feelings are like the fork in the road where the two of them are standing now, life can only determine one direction, and Tang Zhan must make a choice......
Tang Zhan thought for a long time and continued: "I'm sorry Jing'er, the family's mission is heavy, and I have to carry it, even if it is risking my life, I will not hesitate to ...... So, Jing'er ......"
"So you mean to leave me, don't you...... At the last moment, you only think about your own ambitions after all, are you willing to give up on me......" Lu Jing's expression was desperate to a low point.
"No, Jing'er, I ......" Tang Zhan subconsciously wanted to say something, but stopped abruptly.
"I said it, I don't care if you're a hero or not, and I don't care how heavy your family mission is......" Lu Jing showed a deep gaze and pleaded with tears, "I just want you to live well, this is my simplest wish...... Fool, I beg you, come with me, I don't want to watch you die......"
"I can't go-" Although he hesitated in his heart, Tang Zhan's tone was unwavering in his words, looking at Lu Jing's eyes full of tears, and he said with composure in his reluctance, "No matter what happens, no matter how much danger there is, I will not let go of my mission and responsibility-Jing'er, even you, can't stop me from ......"
This sentence was said resolutely, but it was also ruthless, Lu Jing saw it in her eyes, as if a trace of despair had passed from the corners of her eyes, she put away her choked crying, and left cold tears across her face...... As if she had decided something, Lu Jing's expression suddenly became serious, and she always looked at Tang Zhan with desperate eyes......
"No matter what I say, you don't want to listen to me, do you......?" Lu Jing, who no longer prayed, pinned her hopes on the last decision with sad eyes, and said coldly to Tang Zhan, "I will give you two choices, either choose to accompany me and go back with me to marry, or choose to give up on me and stay here and wait for ...... death."
The bitter choice is in front of him, and now that he is at a fork in the road, Tang Zhan seems to be facing a trade-off in his life, and he will never be decided......
In the northern desert hills and valleys, under the cold wind and slaughtering scenes, Tang Zhan was like a drifting dust, and after making a choice, he passed away with the wind, and could never return to the original point......
On the one hand, it is the mission of the family, and on the other hand, it is the retention of his lover, no matter which one it is, Tang Zhan is unwilling to let go ruthlessly. However, if I had not carried the mission of my family for three years, I would not have kept my firm beliefs all the way and fought all to protect the people I love...... The two complement each other, which helped Tang Zhan get to where he is today, but now he has to leave one by one, and Tang Zhan is extremely uncomfortable......
But the choice of fate, he couldn't escape after all, and after being silent for a long time, Tang Zhan finally gave the answer......
"I'm sorry, Jing'er......" Tang Zhan said bitterly in a sad tone, "I swore that I would carry the mission of the family......" Tang Zhan's final decision was to choose the mission.
"So, did you decide to give up on me......" Lu Jing's heart was already desperate to the bottom, and cold tears hung on her face, looking extremely sad.
"If Jing'er insists on leaving, I'm sorry, I can't go with you......" Tang Zhan said, and couldn't help shedding tears, saying the last words of despair, "If fate is really like this, I can only leave you ruthlessly......"
The last sentence was heartless, and when Lu Jing heard this, she was completely dead......
"Good, good...... I didn't expect you to be able to say such a thing in your mouth......" Lu Jing put away her tears, with a cold face, and took out two things from her waist.
"Jing'er ......" At that moment, Tang Zhan knew that he had said the wrong thing, but he couldn't turn back - the painful parting deeply hurt this girl who had loved him for three years, Tang Zhan knew that he couldn't get her forgiveness in his life, after all, ruining a girl's feelings was equivalent to ruining her life......
Lu Jing had a cold face, threw the things in his hand - two brocade bags to Tang Zhan, and threw them heavily on his face, as if venting the anger in his heart.
"Forehead ......" felt a hot pain on his face, but Tang Zhan kept enduring it, he knew that he had hurt Lu Jing, and Lu Jing would not forgive him in this life.
"Just think it's my kindness, and finally give you the advice of the descendants of the Tang family......" Lu Jing completely became cold-blooded, wiped her tears and said, "Two tips, the red one is for Zhu Yuanzhang, and the blue one is for Wu Xiao...... Please pass it on to them for me, and open it if you think it's time......"
Tang Zhan held the two bags in his hands, but there was a faint pain in his heart.
"This is my last alms to you......" Lu Jing stood at the fork in the road and said the most painful sentence, "From now on, we will break off our righteousness ......"
As soon as the words fell, cold tears flashed, Lu Jing turned around and left without looking back, disappearing into the mist of the fork in the road......
It stands to reason that Tang Zhan should catch up immediately, whether it is to admit his mistake or to keep it. But for some reason, today's Tang Zhan was extremely "indifferent", his feet seemed to be nailed, and he watched Lu Jing's back gradually disappear with sad eyes, but his body didn't obey anything, and he didn't move.
And Lu Jing's words are serious, today's farewell may be a break of affection - just now, Tang Zhan personally buried his relationship with Lu Jing for three years, and he can't go back......
At the foot of Amber Hill, in the barracks......
Zhu Yuanzhang and all the generals gathered in the camp to discuss the final general attack, but only Tang Zhan and Lu Jing were not present, and everyone was waiting.
Xu Da, who couldn't get used to Lu Jing, couldn't stand his arbitrariness, and reported with a dissatisfied face: "Your Majesty, General Tang and the Army Division were late for the meeting, flouted military regulations, and because of their arbitrary and free military exploits in the past, they also asked the emperor to punish them!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked indifferent, holding something similar to a bag in his hand, opened the letter inside, and calmly responded: "Don't worry, the vanguard military merits of the First World War in Tongguan are the head, they must be late for a reason, forgive and understand......"
said that he didn't care, but in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was very tight. Now the thing he is holding in his hand is what he searched out in Xiao Tian's old camp - this is the trick that Lu Jing handed Xiao Tian and Su Jia after Xu Gu died in the first battle of the Qin family, and now the plan has been completed, after Xiao Su and the two left, they should have thrown it away at will and did not take it away, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who had always respected Xiao Tian, searched this thing from the camp after he left, saw the contents inside, and couldn't help but be secretly impressed by Lu Jing's resourcefulness.
The letter said four schemes -- first, he was deliberately captured by Tong Chen, so as to lure Tong Chen and Tang Zhan into a battle of independence, but in fact isolated him from the main force of the enemy; second, the news of Xiao Tian and Su Jia's disappearance lured Sima Hanyi to leave the army and find his subordinates to pick up the general; third, Su Jia went deep alone, and his whereabouts were to assassinate Chen Shijin; fourth, the main force of the army feinted defeat and fell, and Lu Ling led the army to secretly Chen Cang, skillfully seizing the two dangerous passes of Mast City and Dingcheng.
This is Lu Jing's strategy of "attacking Tongguan in ten days", because each strategy is not fully grasped and takes great risks, so Lu Jing thinks that this is the most dangerous plan in her life. But facts have proved that all the strategies were successful, and just before Zhu Yuanzhang took back the "Tongguan Border Defense Map" from Chen Shijin's hands -- Lu Jing still took the lead and was counted in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw it in his eyes, and secretly shocked in his heart: "Lu Jing, the world calls the "talent of military ghosts", who are you ...... sacred?"
However, at the moment of shock, there was a movement outside the camp - it was Tang Zhan who had returned......
Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head to look, but saw Tang Zhan coming with a sad look on his face, and he was the only one, and Lu Jing was not around.
Xu Da looked unhappy in his heart and wanted to scold a few words, but Zhu Yuanzhang preemptively asked, "General Tang is here...... Why is there only Qing alone, the army division?" Zhu Yuanzhang cared about, and sure enough, it was Lu Jing.
Tang Zhan's face was expressionless, and he said lightly in a hoarse voice: "She's gone......"
"What did you say?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't believe his ears and continued to ask.
"She left, followed by General Xiao and Imperial Envoy Su......" Tang Zhan still had a sad tone, then took out the bag in his hand, slowly stepped forward and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Before leaving, she asked me to give this bag to the emperor, saying that it was a critical moment or remembered her, open it to see ......"
Zhu Yuanzhang slowly took the bag in Tang Zhan's hand, and suddenly felt an inexplicable heaviness pressing on his heart......
"Hmph, who does she think she is? she doesn't even pay attention to the emperor......" Xu Da heard this, and said angrily, "This kind of exclusive woman shouldn't have stayed in the army in the first place, it's best to go-"
However, Zhu Yuanzhang had a premonition of an indescribable oppression - Lu Jing's clever calculation, Zhu Yuanzhang had always been calculated, but now that Lu Jing is gone, he can have the last chance to see this...... The trick handed over to himself is Lu Jing's last plan......
"Let's go, let's go, how to say that we have also made great achievements for our army to conquer Meng Yuan, we should respect it, not complain more......" Zhu Yuanzhang still "praised" Lu Jing in front of the generals, then turned to the front and said calmly, "Okay, let's start the meeting now!"
In fact, when Lu Jing left, Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief in her heart - before she got rid of Lu Jing with her own hands, she took the initiative to leave first, and for herself, how could it not be a relief?
But I don't know why, after Lu Jing left the barracks, Zhu Yuanzhang always felt that something was missing......
The "General Offensive Meeting" was held for a long time, from morning to afternoon, and although Tang Zhan was in a depressed mood, he still conscientiously completed the whole process as a general and a general of the First Army......
Returning to the pioneer camp, according to Lu Jing's last "order", he handed over the remaining bag to Lu Ling, Tang Zhan walked back to the camp tent with his back to the sunset alone.
He was full of sorrow, and he always felt that something was missing, which was different from usual, and a feeling of loneliness and loneliness gradually came to his heart.
Regardless of whether there was a war or not, every time she returned to the camp, Lu Jing would always talk to herself. Usually I think it's nothing, but now that Lu Jing left, Tang Zhan suddenly found himself extremely lonely and lonely.
In the past three years, Lu Jing has been by his side, whether he is happy or sad, Tang Zhan has never felt empty. But now, Lu Jing has left, as if she has returned to three years ago, when she was young, confused and had no fun, and was alone with the family mission.
The momentary "impulse" during the day, but he didn't expect it to be a lifelong parting, and he threw away this sincere feeling with his own hands, Tang Zhan suddenly felt a trace of secret regret - he paid a heavy price for his "stupidity", which may be an irreparable pain.
The more I thought about it, the more sad I felt, the more sad I became, along with Lu Jing's lingering "shadow", Tang Zhan couldn't help but think of what Tong Chen said to him before he died......
(in recall)......
In the last stop between Tang Zhan and Tong Chen, the winner was separated by a heavy punch......
Tong Chen closed his eyes slightly, and then said earnestly to Tang Zhan, "Brother Tang, I Tong Chen suffered today's defeat, I failed to overcome the fate of the past like you, and I was convinced...... But you have to promise me that no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, you will protect your beloved-" As he spoke, Tong Chen cast an "affectionate" look at Lu Jing.
"Brother Tong......" Lu Jing was in tears and sentimental on the side, speechless for a while.
"I'm sorry, Miss Lu, coerced you into being a hostage...... Tong Chen smiled and said slowly, "I failed to protect Yi'er back then, but I don't want to watch you and Brother Tang repeat the tragedy of the year......
"Woo woo......" Lu Jing was only secretly sobbing, as if she had something to say in her heart.
"Brother Tang, you have to promise me to protect your beloved and protect Miss Lu in this life and this life......" Tong Chen, who was covered in injuries, raised his last strength, sat up from the ground and said.
Tang Zhan nodded, and said in response to his firm gaze: "I promise you, as a brother's promise, I will protect Jing'er for the rest of my life!"
Tong Chen saw this, and nodded indifferently with satisfaction......
(In reality)......
"I'm sorry, Brother Tong......" The memory flashed through his heart for a moment, Tang Zhan couldn't help but slowly cry, "I failed to promise you, I failed to protect ...... Keep your beloved ......"
Thinking of the depths, Tang Zhan's dignified seven-foot man was crying secretly in the camp alone......
However, looking at the flag of the vanguard army in the battalion, he once followed the troops, commanding the mighty battlefield and winning a hundred battles. The vanguard army at its peak - Zhao Zichuan, Nangong Jun, Murong Fei, Qin Yu and himself, the "five tigers" in the army in the past will be brave and invincible, and there are more Xiao Tian, Su Jia, Hu Yidi and other martial arts heroes, plus Lu Jing, Lu Ling and others have unparalleled wisdom, from Shandong all the way to Tongguan, the prestige of the vanguard army can be seen, especially the undefeated army of bears and tigers, and the Central Plains.
But now, several catastrophes of life and death, there are very few in the army, the "prosperous age" of the former vanguard army is no more, leaving only a broken military flag to stand on the pole, can not help but add a few times of sadness, sigh that the years are like a shuttle, fate is ruthless......
"The vanguard army has come to this day, and it has finished ......" Tang Zhan wiped away his unwilling tears, said in despair and desolation, walked to the front of the case, and took down the once "brilliant" military flag.
The vanguard army was disbanded, and the "glory" of the past was forever buried in the dust of history......
