Chapter Twenty-Nine: Looking Back at Chang'an
(Today I begged for a salary, and I went for my hard-earned money in Africa, so there was only one more, well, brazenly begging for a monthly ticket.) Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info)
The loud noise at the head of the city came very suddenly.
Linsha City, which had been sleeping peacefully, was awakened by such a strange noise.
The dark Linsha City lit up, and people walked out of the door in twos and threes to look at the city, which was filled with dust and smoke. Roars, wails, exclamations mingled.
The people of Linsha City quickly came to their senses, and something was fighting with the defenders.
Is it a brute?
Is it the Shu army?
These ordinary people naturally can't figure it out, but the more unknown they are, the more frightening they become.
Of course, there are also some people who suddenly raised their eyebrows at this moment, realizing that this is a great opportunity.
The war in the Central Plains is getting stronger and stronger, and no matter who wins or loses, it is not a good thing for ordinary people, so fleeing has naturally become the best and only choice for these ordinary people.
And the destination, of course, is the only pure land in the Great Wei Dynasty at present, Jiangdong, which has the natural danger of the Li River.
Therefore, these days, there is no shortage of people from all over the world flocking to Linsha City to try to cross the river.
It is true that there are some people who have successfully made it to Koto.
No matter what happens to them over there, in most people's minds, avoiding the scourge of war is the best thing to do.
But this kind of thing, about half a month ago, became extremely difficult.
The imperial court brought in 100,000 troops and blockaded the river.
It is said that it is to resist the rebels in Jiangdong, but at the same time, no one is allowed to cross the river without permission, and at this moment, Linsha City not only gathers ordinary residents, but also many refugees who have come from afar to try to cross the river.
Now that the defenders are fighting with which forces, it is dangerous but also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cross their front.
As a result, many people dragged their families and led their families at that time, and began to cautiously flock to the mouth of the Li River.
And among these people, there is a group of people who seem to have many more worries than the reckless actions of others.
The leader was a middle-aged man carrying a spear, and beside him was an old man with white hair. Perhaps to hide their identities, both of them were wearing sackcloth, but their walking demeanor and posture were faintly imposing. At that time, a certain temperament formed by those who had been in power for a long time was difficult to imitate, and it was equally difficult to hide.
They were followed by several young men, one of whom was armed with an exaggerated heavy sword, and the beard on his face seemed to have not been taken care of for a long time, and he looked extremely sloppy.
One with gray hair is extremely piercing, but on his back is in charge of two short spears in the shape of a diagonal cross.
And in the middle of the two is a young man, sixteen or seventeen years old, handsome, but weak, not like those who look like those who are skilled.
It can be seen that the demeanor of all the people has a faint posture of protecting them in it.
Obviously, the identity of this teenager should be extremely special.
At this moment, a man dressed in black and carrying a scarlet spear came from a distance, and his speed was extremely fast, a hundred feet away, and he arrived in an instant.
He stood still in front of his master, slightly panting, it seemed that he was in a hurry, he used about two breaths to calm his breath, and then said to the middle-aged man who was also carrying a spear: "Dad, the child has already gone to the front to investigate the situation, it seems that there is really an army fighting with the defenders of Zhong'an Yiyang Prefecture." The court suffered heavy losses, and it should not be Sima Xu's plan to lure the snake out of the hole. ”
"Hmm. The man nodded slightly, but the expression on his face was still extremely solemn. "Who could that be?"
Linsha City is located in the middle of nowhere, except for the border with Jiangdong, there is nothing special, obviously it will not be the Shu army or the barbarian army, the only possibility...
"Could it be Chang'an...?" the man in black asked with some hesitation.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he nodded, and shook his head again, he really didn't really want to.
Because in his opinion, at this moment, the situation in the Central Plains, Su Changan should seize the chaos of the heroes to recuperate and consolidate his strength, if he participated in the war in the Central Plains so early, it would not be a wise move. Although it seems that Jiangdong's chances of making a move are better now, he is still not sure.
"Lord Taiwei, don't think about it, this is a rare opportunity, if it drags on any longer, when Sima Xu's reinforcements arrive, it will be even more difficult for us to get out. The frail young man behind them suddenly spoke.
Everyone was stunned, and they all looked sideways at the young man beside them at that time.
Since this young man left Chang'an, he has been wandering all the way, and he has been hunted down by the imperial court, and he is very silent, so silent that everyone has gradually ignored his existence.
The sudden voice at this moment naturally surprised them greatly.
And looking at the look on the young man's face, there was an undoubted majesty.
It was only then that everyone remembered that this young man was the emperor of Great Wei.
That innate kingly spirit is many times stronger than his whimsical father.
The middle-aged man was stunned, he also figured out this truth, no matter who fought with the defenders of the imperial court at this moment, but it was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them, otherwise, if it dragged on, Sima Xu's reinforcements were already on the way, and it would be even more difficult to leave at that time.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man said with a calm face: "Your Majesty is reasonable, then let's rush through the pass now!" After that, he seemed to remember something and turned his head to look at the old man beside him, and said with a respectful expression: "I still bother Taibai Zhenren to cover up the heavens for us." ”
The old man beside him nodded when he heard this, but his face turned a little pale.
Although he is a Taoist of the stargazing platform, the way of cause and effect numerology is far inferior to Sima Xu, and he has gone forward many times to cover up the heavens, which has made his body gradually unable to make ends meet.
But at this moment, it is the last and most critical step of the matter, which is to fight for this old life, and he must also persevere.
Thinking like this, the old man's face became more and more pale, but the majestic but vague spiritual power poured out of his body at that time, enveloping everyone.
"Let's go. He said this, a flush welling up across his face, trying to hide his tiredness.
This kind of behavior can be hidden from those young people who are traveling with him, but he can't hide it from the middle-aged man who is also a star. He glanced at the old man deeply, but he didn't break it, and then he gestured slightly to the people, and led them to walk quickly towards the city gate with the flow of people.
And no one noticed that at that time, the young man in the crowd, he looked back and looked deeply into the distance.
It was far, far away.
It was so far away that his line of sight couldn't reach it.
But he watched it anyway, at least he felt he could feel it.
Feeling the huge city in the distance, the city that should have belonged to him.
"Sima Xu, one day, I will come back. ”
He said this to himself in his heart, and then resolutely turned his head and followed the pace of the others, walking into the distance.
