Chapter 108: This burial place is my hometown
"Chang'an?"
When they saw the face of the comer, they let out such an exclamation, and then hurried forward to meet him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The young man who came from the sky was Su Changan and the mourner who had buried the Taibai Daoist.
Naturally, it was Gu Xianjun and Su Cao who came to the forefront, and of course that Lu Ruyue also followed.
When Su Changan landed, the two were about to pounce into his arms, but they seemed to be aware of each other's existence, and the movements in their hands slowed down.
But the people behind him didn't notice this, and they continued to move forward to Su Changan.
"Great, Chang'an, are you okay!" Mu Guiyun walked over the crowd and patted his shoulders and said with a smile. His body was covered with dense scars, but the smile on his face at the moment was so real and unpretentious.
Jiahan County, although it is still less than three months old, but what happened here made Su Changan feel like a world away at this moment.
He first glanced apologetically at Gu Xianjun and Lu Ruyue, others couldn't see the strangeness of these two, but they couldn't hide it from his eyes, and everything that happened to Hongluan made him inevitably feel guilty, so after glancing at the two, he hurriedly withdrew his gaze.
"Then Sima Xu is embarrassed for you, what do you want to say to you?" Hua Fei was still calm and sophisticated yesterday after all, and after a short period of joy, he realized that something was wrong. That Sima Xu wanted to threaten Su Changan so hard, how could he let him out so easily, in his opinion, things must not be as simple as they seem on the surface.
And when everyone heard this, they also woke up, who is Sima Xu, and how has he ever made a loss-making transaction? If he wants to keep Su Changan, he must have asked for something, otherwise how could he be released so easily.
Su Changan smiled quietly when he heard this, and said: "This matter is a long story, we will explain it in detail in the future." ”
"But there is one thing that cannot be delayed. Then, he said again.
"Hmm, what's the matter?" Hua Fei looked puzzled yesterday.
"Where is the Xiliang Army, take me to meet them quickly. ”
At a hurried glance outside Jiahan County, Su Changan had already discovered the abnormality of the Xiliang Army, both cultivators of the Immortal Book Blood Age, Su Changan knew very well their state, it was a terrible thing for their minds to be devoured, even if they were alive now, it was actually no different from dead, and all of this was caused by his own hands. Although he had already explained the stakes to the people of the Xiliang Army before this, he still couldn't stay out of the matter, so the first thing he did was to check their situation.
Hua Fei quickly came to his senses when he heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you there!"
After that, he was about to lead Su Changan away, but Su Changan paused at that time, glanced at everyone again and said, "You have a good rest, we will discuss everything tomorrow." Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, his eyes fell on the faces of Gu Xianjun, Su Cao and Lu Ruyue, looking at the three of them with worried faces, he squeezed out a smile, and said softly: "Don't worry, everything has me." ”
After saying this, he stopped staying, and followed Hua Fei's stride towards the place where Xiliang Jun was being held.
......
It was a dungeon.
Dark, damp, and clear.
From time to time, the roar that came from the depths couldn't help but give people the illusion of being in the eighteenth layer of purgatory.
Su Changan and Hua Fei walked side by side in the dungeon yesterday, and Su Changan, who has the spirit of the Emperor River, can clearly see the situation in the dungeon through this thick darkness.
The figures were separated by the cold iron prison, as if they had fallen into some kind of unspeakable madness, their blood-red eyes, constantly hitting the iron prison, trying to break out of it, and from time to time their mouths let out bursts of beast-like roars.
But the iron prison was obviously made of some special material, and their collision did no good except to add some scars to their own bodies, but even so, the figures did not care about it, and they still roared angrily against the iron prison again and again, as if this was the only way to calm the pain that was constantly benefiting their bodies at this moment.
Su Changan's eyes wrinkled at that time, and his face was so gloomy that it was terrifying, as if it was about to drip water.
Hua Fei saw all this in his eyes yesterday, and he understood Su Changan's feelings at this moment.
But he still calmed his voice and said faintly: "This is a prison specially set up for imprisoning some important criminals from other countries when Lu Lichen was in power, and it is fortunate that it is here, otherwise with the current strength of these Xiliang troops, it would be difficult for ordinary iron prisons to be imprisoned at all." ”
"Hmm. Su Changan nodded, his cold voice was as cold as the wind and snow in the north. "How many are left?"
Hearing this question, Hua Fei's body paused obviously. He opened his mouth and said a little dryly: "The Xiliang army is brave in battle, often reaching into the enemy's formation, coupled with today's battle, the anger in their bodies is out of control..."
He stopped suddenly when he said this, but it was not because he didn't know how to continue, but because Su Changan turned his head and looked straight at him.
In the dark, the young man's eyes were so clear, so clear that they were almost dust-free, so clear that even the sadness wrapped in them was so straightforward to convey Hua Fei's heart.
"Alas. He sighed, put away his thoughts around the bush, and said: "Of the 30,000 Xiliang troops, there are now less than 2,000 left, and the whereabouts of the commander Gu Yalang are unknown, and he should have died in battle." ”
"Yes. Su Changan retracted his gaze and responded.
There was a very suppressed emotion in his fluttering tone, Hua Fei knew very well what that emotion was, but he didn't want to delve into it.
As if to hide such emotions, Su Changan said after a short silence: "What about Wen Ziyu and Miao Yongshan, take me to meet them." ”
Hua Fei didn't say anything more this time yesterday, he turned around and silently led Su Changan towards the depths of the dungeon.
......
Compared with those ordinary Xiliang soldiers, Miao Yongshan and Wen Ziyu's cultivation is much higher, so their situation seems to be much better than those soldiers.
At the same time, such a good thing is only relative.
They were confined to two adjoining iron prisons, and they did not show the same aggressiveness as the soldiers, but they just sat on the floor of their cells, their bodies trembling incessantly, and the muscles around them bulging, as if they were suffering some kind of untold pain. Their eyes were sometimes clear, sometimes blood-red, as if they were fighting against a demon possessed within them.
"General Wen and General Miao were voluntarily imprisoned in an iron prison, otherwise with their cultivation, we may have to waste some hands and feet. Hua Fei looked at the two people in the room yesterday and said. His voice is low and his brow is furrowed.
Su Changan nodded, but his gaze stayed on the two of them.
And at this time, the two of them also seemed to hear the conversation between Su Changan and Hua Fei, their heads were raised suddenly, like beasts that had been awakened, and a certain balance in their bodies was broken at that time, and their eyes suddenly became blood-red, and they suddenly looked at Su Changan and the others.
And just when he saw Su Changan's appearance clearly, his blood-red eyes became clear again.
"General!" they let out such an exclamation, and their bodies suddenly walked up, looking at Su Changan through the cold iron prison, and tears appeared in their eyes.
"I've wronged the two. Su Changan looked at the two people who were covered in injuries and whispered.
His head, like his voice, drooped deeply, and he felt ashamed of them in his heart.
"Why did the general say this, it is our incompetence, only these remnants of the 30,000 Xiliang army have been defeated so far, even Lao Gu... Also..."Miao Yongshan hurriedly said when he saw Su Changan like this, but when he mentioned Gu Yalang, he, a rough man with five big and three thick, couldn't help choking. In fact, when Gu Yalang was there, his relationship with him was not very good, but now that Gu Yalang died in battle, Miao Yongshan felt unspeakable sorrow in his heart.
"Don't cry and cry, don't let the general laugh. Wen Ziyu scolded unhappily, he and Miao Yongshan and Gu Yalang are the three commanders of the Xiliang Army, but he is active, and there is a faint tendency to be headed by him among the three, even if Beitong Xuan has said when he was there, there are countless generals in the Xiliang Army, and only this Wen Ziyu is the only one who can be handsome.
After he finished scolding Miao Yongshan, he turned his head to look at Su Changan and asked, "When the general came, I thought that you had already seen the situation of your soldiers, but there was still a way to reverse it." ”
Su Changan was stunned when he heard this, he looked at Wen Ziyu and the others who were looking at him eagerly, his lips opened, but he couldn't speak for a while.
When he came, he tried the previous method on the body of a soldier to suck out the anger in their bodies, but this method was effective because at that time, these Xiliang troops were only trapped by the anger and did not hurt the spirits, but now their souls have been completely eroded by the anger theory, and even Su Changan, who has Ruomu in his body, is difficult to cure the damage to the soul.
Su Changan's silence undoubtedly gave Wen Ziyu and the others the best answer.
"The subordinate understood. The two of them were stunned, and their faces suddenly turned pale.
Although they can still maintain temporary sobriety, but in the final analysis, they are only relying on their own cultivation to support themselves, and their souls have already been corrupted by that anger, at this time, it is okay, if they ask for half a point of blood, they will not be able to control it, and they will completely fall into madness.
"Don't worry, you two have some time with me, maybe it will..."Su Changan saw them like this, and the guilt in his heart was even worse, and he hurriedly said.
"The general should not deceive me, Sima Xu's army is coming to the city, if the general wants to avoid the edge for a while, how can he take us and others and be dragged down by us, how can I wait for myself? If I want to fight Sima Xu, will the general be completely sure? I will fall into madness sooner or later, and whether this cage can be locked up at that time is another matter, so adding variables is not the work of the soldiers!" Wen Ziyu revealed the truth of the matter at that time.
Su Changan's body was stunned again, he knew that Wen Ziyu's words were true, but how could he abandon these soldiers who accompanied him all the way from birth to death?
"The general doesn't have to mind, Brother Miao and I will share the general's worries in this matter. Wen Ziyu laughed at that time, he glanced at Miao Yongshan on the side, and said this, as if he had figured out something, and his voice became relaxed at that time.
Although Miao Yongshan was stupid, seeing Wen Ziyu's expression, he naturally guessed how the so-called worries were divided, and after a little silence, he nodded heavily.
Han looked at Su Changan with a smile, and said in his rough voice: "Don't worry, general, my old Miao will never cause trouble to the general." ”
The coldness that Su Changan had been pretending to be was finally broken by Miao Yongshan's words at that time, his body trembled, and he raised his head to look at the two of them and was about to say something, but Wen Ziyu took over the conversation and said: "The general doesn't want me to be humiliated by that old thief again, right?
Su Changan's words were deeply stuffed back by Wen Ziyu's words, he looked at the two people in front of him silently, there seemed to be something surging in his eyes, but he forcibly held back.
Although he didn't want to admit it, what Wen Ziyu said was very right.
No matter whether his next step is to fight or flee, it will not be half beneficial for him to leave behind such a group of evil beasts that have already annihilated human nature.
Even though these beasts were created by his own hands.
He had to bear the sin until one day, when he had done what he had to do, he would pay for it one by one.
"Uncle, there are spirits. And after a long silence, he suddenly spoke.
Hua Fei on the side was stunned for a moment, but quickly became aware of her reaction and went to the dungeon to find some drinks for the two.
His speed was extremely fast, and he only had half a pillar of incense back and forth, but during this period, Su Changan and Wen Ziyu talked about their daily routines as if nothing had happened. Talking and laughing happily, as if the previous sorrows and sorrows had never existed.
It wasn't until Hua Fei returned yesterday with a few jars of wine that the atmosphere between the three of them became dull again.
Miao Yongshan was the first to break the silence, he reached out and took the wine jar in Hua Fei's hand yesterday, opened the seal, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and his face suddenly showed a look of satisfaction.
"Good wine!" he exclaimed.
"Really?" Wen Ziyu also took a jar of wine when he heard this, opened the seal on it like Miao Yongshan, and put it on the tip of his nose.
"Good wine indeed. He then spoke.
Then he raised the wine jar high, looked at Su Chang'an and said, "General, please! This is the first time to drink with a general." As he spoke, a light smile appeared on Wen Ziyu's face, as if this was a very happy thing.
For the first time.
And for the last time.
Su Changan thought like this, took the last jar of wine, and wanted to lift it, but he felt that the small jar of wine was like a thousand pounds at this moment, and he couldn't lift it.
"Don't be like this, let Lao Miao look down on you, I still remember the heroism of the general who led 3,000 swordsmen alone to block the 800,000 army of Tuoba Yuanwu in Xiliang. When Miao Yongshan saw Su Changan's situation, he quipped.
Su Changan knew that he was doing it deliberately, and this kind of behavior not only did not make Su Changan feel better, but his heart became heavier and heavier.
"I have one last question, can you answer me truthfully? I don't know for what reason, Su Changan asked suddenly.
"The general, but it doesn't hurt to say it. The two were stunned, but then laughed.
"The two of you are in such a situation, can it be said that I caused it single-handedly, but have I ever complained about Su in my heart?" Su Changan's lowered head suddenly raised and looked straight at the two.
The two of them were stunned again, but then Wen Ziyu said: "There are thousands of roads in the world, I will do one of them, what is the result, all of them are my own choice, how can others be persecuted?"
"In the past, I followed General Bei to defend my homeland, and now I follow General Su to avenge my blood! If you complain about others now, wouldn't you be a woman, and the general should not despise us. ”
"Even a puppet is not impossible to have a family and a country. ”
"Even Lao Suo is not unavoidably chivalrous. ”
"The general has the way of the general, and we also have the way of us, walking in the way, guarding the way, and dying in the way. Feel happy, why complain?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Miao Yongshan on the side heard Wen Ziyu's words, and felt that he had broken his mind in one word, but he didn't have any ink in his chest, so he couldn't say such bold words, so he could only respond again and again.
Hearing this, Su Changan was stunned, then raised the wine jar in his hand, and said with a straight face.
"Chang'an is reckless and despises the two generals, please don't blame it. ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Seeing this, Miao Yongshan had a smile on his face, and hurriedly raised the wine jar in his hand.
"General, please!" Wen Ziyu also put away the look on his face at that time, and also raised the wine jar in his hand.
The three of them looked at each other, looked up and drank the wine from the jar.
The spilled wine poured down the corners of the trio's mouths, soaking through their clothes.
Then, when the wine in the altar ran out, the three of them looked at each other again.
Su Changan felt that his Adam's apple trembled, but he didn't know what to say.
"Happy!"
That Wen Ziyu said loudly, and the wine jar in his hand was thrown to the ground by him, making a bang, and then the wine jar shattered. Seeing this, Miao Yongshan also said so, and the wine jar in his hand was also broken.
"General, please go back! I will leave the matter here to wait for the cooking, and I just ask that I and my brothers be buried together in the future, and that they can saddle their horses and horses on the Huangquan Road, so that they can make amends!"
Wen Ziyu looked at Su Chang'an, and the look on his face suddenly turned cold.
"There are two generals!" Su Changan arched his hand, trying his best to suppress the tremor in his voice.
Then he stood up and looked at them deeply, as if he wanted to keep their appearance in mind.
Then, he turned sharply and left the dungeon with Hua Fei without looking back.
And as he left, there was a fluctuation of this turbulent spiritual power in the dungeon behind him, accompanied by a cry of pain.
Su Changan knew very well that every cry of pain meant the death of a Xiliang soldier, his body trembled more and more obviously, and the pace under his feet immediately accelerated.
By the time he reached the door of the dungeon, the contents of his eyes still lingered down his face.
At this moment, a burst of singing suddenly sounded in the dungeon.
Su Changan remembered that the military song of the Xiliang Army at that time.
And so the song sang.
March is long, and the pear blossoms are prosperous.
The plough oxen are busy, and the farmer is busy.
Once the iron hooves came, once the golden gold rang.
Enlist in the army and be a general.
Three years to recruit the husband to die, ten years to the general.
My comrade asked, where is the hometown?
Don't cry, don't panic.
Let's drink a glass of wine and get an inch in the gun.
You should answer him.
This burial place is the hometown.
