Chapter 109: Su Chang'an is Su Chang'an
Night gradually fell, and the city guards in Jiahan County began to operate in an orderly manner in Hua Fei's dispatch. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Although there have been several crushing defeats, the number of soldiers has also been shrinking.
But Su Chang'an's return has given this devastated army a booster.
It seems that with him, all difficulties have become less difficult, and all despair has suddenly come to life.
Although Mu Guiyun and the others still had a lot to say to Su Changan, under Su Changan's coercion and temptation, they obediently returned to their respective accommodations to rest. Su Changan knew very well that their bodies and minds must be extremely tired after the battle during the day, so he used the excuse of discussing tomorrow as an excuse to persuade everyone to go back to their rooms to rest.
But he took advantage of the night alone and walked to the head of the city of Jiahan County.
Along the way, the patrolling soldiers saluted Su Changan very respectfully, and Su Changan also nodded one by one, until he walked to the head of Jiahan County and raised his eyes to look into the distance.
There was a large camp with bright lights, and the dense soldiers in it walked back and forth like locusts, and the murderous tent stretched for dozens of miles, as if there was no end in sight.
It was Sima Xu's army, a million people.
And they only had less than 40,000 remnants of the army.
"Hey. Su Changan couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.
At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, and a figure wrapped in a red robe slowly walked over, standing side by side with Su Changan, and his eyes also looked at the camp outside the city.
"Uncle Shi still doesn't sleep?" asked Su Changan, but his eyes didn't look at the person beside him.
"The night was long, and I didn't want to sleep. Hua Fei heard this yesterday and said, his voice was low, as if there was something in his words.
Su Changan heard it, but he didn't break it. He smiled and said, "Yes, but the night is not pleasant, and it is boring to watch." β
Hua Fei's brows furrowed at that time, he put away his gaze at Sima Xu's big camp, turned his head to look at Su Changan, and after a short period of hesitation, he finally asked the question that had been held in his mind for a long time.
"What did Sima Xu say to you?"
Hua Fei's mind has always been calm, Sima Xu took so much trouble to leave Su Changan, in his opinion, there must be a plan, but so soon he put Su Changan back intact. This is extremely unbelievable no matter how you look at it.
It's not that he suspects that there is anything wrong with Su Changan, but he is worried about whether Su Changan has reached some kind of agreement with Sima Xu, and he is afraid that such an agreement will cause unnecessary harm to Su Changan. Although he didn't have much contact with Su Changan, he knew that although this young man looked a little wooden and even paranoid, he was extremely affectionate, if Sima Xu took the lives of all of them as a threat, he wouldn't be able to guarantee that Su Changan would really fall for him.
As Su Changan's uncle, Hua Feiyesterday couldn't accept this no matter what.
Su Changan was stunned when he heard this, he saw Hua Fei's worries yesterday, and he couldn't sigh in his heart that this uncle was so thoughtful.
But he didn't rush to answer Hua Fei's question, and after he looked deeply at the huge tent in the distance, he turned his head to meet Hua Fei's gaze and asked a question that seemed unrelated to the previous conversation.
"Uncle, if, I mean, if I hadn't met my master in the Northland, and my master hadn't met those divine servants who ambushed him, and the mantle of my ancestors fell on my master's head, would he have done better than me?"
This is a very abrupt question, at least before this, Hua Fei never thought that Su Changan would ask such a question.
So he was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses.
But he still didn't answer Su Changan's question for the first time, and he was silent for a long time before he said, "You mean listen to the rain." He was indeed a prodigy. β
Hua Fei's gaze became deeper at that time.
As if remembering something about Mo Tingyu, the corners of his mouth outlined a smile.
"He's the kind of person who holds a knife in his hand as if he holds the whole world. As long as there is a sword, no one in this world seems to be able to enter his eyes. β
He sighed like this, and the smile on his lips was even worse.
"So, if the master is here, he will definitely do better than me. Right?" This question seemed to be a very important matter for Su Changan, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Why do you ask?" but Hua Fei put away his voice at that time and turned his eyes to look directly at Su Changan.
This question was also extremely abrupt, so that Su Changan was stunned for a moment, and a rare trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
It's a look that rarely appears on his face.
At least since Xiliang, Hua Fei hadn't seen such a look on Su Changan's face yesterday.
"No... It's nothing. Su Changan lowered his head and said subconsciously, but such behavior undoubtedly aggravated Hua Fei's doubts yesterday.
"It's just that sometimes I wonder if I'm doing the right thing?" his voice lowered as his head. "In order to protect the people of Xiliang, I ignored the old and weak women and children, and forcibly drove them into the customs, so that nearly half of the people of Xiliang died that night. β
But they didn't survive after all, the barbarians still entered the pass, and their life and death are probably difficult to evaluate. β
"In Jiangdong, in order to keep the last pure land, I recruited soldiers and horses by any means, and even let the Xiliang army cultivate the cult book "The Book of Blood". I thought that if I took these sins, the world would be different because of this, and at least we could keep Koto. But in the end, millions of civilians in Jianye City were slaughtered, and the Jiangdong Army that crossed the river with me is still not one out of ten, and even the Xiliang Army that followed me all the way was turned into a monster who only knew how to kill because of the cult. β
"I thought what I was doing should have a meaning, at least to stop some of the killings that were coming! On the contrary, his hands have long been stained with senseless blood.... So I thought if someone else had done it, maybe he would have done better than me, and he wouldn't have to have so many people die. β
Saying this, Su Changan's head lowered even deeper.
And Hua Fei didn't say anything to comfort Su Changan yesterday, he just looked at him quietly.
watched as the young man tore off the mask that had been wrapped around his face since Xiliang, revealing his true appearance.
He knew that this was the real Su Chang'an.
There is his confusion, there is his sadness, and there is his anger.
That's not a perfect Su Chang'an, and it can even be said to be a little bad. But it's the real him, the living him.
And Hua Fei liked that kind of Su Changan from the bottom of his heart.
"No, what I'm trying to say is that even if Tingyu is alive, he may not do better than you. Hua Fei stretched out and patted Su Changan's shoulder yesterday.
"Huh?" Su Changan was stunned for a moment, raised his head, but found that the corners of Hua Fei's mouth were clearly smiling at this moment.
"No one is born a hero, and no one is never wrong. Didn't even the masters and uncles make some mistakes? After all, we are moving forward, stumbling, but we never give up. There is no if in this world, you can't turn back if you make a choice, it is you Su Changan who brought us here, not Mo Tingyu, nor anyone, just you Su Changan!"
Hua Fei said this yesterday, and his tone became extremely resolute.
"However, even if Shizun is dead, there may still be someone who can replace me, he can do better, and he can protect more people, at least you..."
Su Changan's words were not finished, and he was interrupted by Hua Fei yesterday.
"At least we don't die, can we live?" he asked.
"......" Su Changan was stunned, Hua Fei said what he wanted to say yesterday, and he had nothing to say, so he could only nod silently, which was considered to agree with Hua Fei's words yesterday.
Hua Fei saw Su Changan like this yesterday, and he probably guessed what Sima Xu and Su Changan had said in his heart, so he paused and softened his tone.
"Chang'an. Each of us is an individual, we have our own ideas, our own goals. We don't just fight to survive, if that were the case, everything wouldn't be so difficult, we are for our own beliefs, our own ways. It is not because you are strong enough or anything else that follows you, but because we share the same beliefs, you identify with us, and we identify with you as well. β
"Like-minded people can agree, there is only one Su Changan in the world, and no one can do Su Changan better than you. β
"We have come all the way to the present, whether there is an abyss in front of us, or a splendid and magnificent rivers and mountains, but at this point, let's go and see it together. β
Hua Fei said yesterday, and a bright color gradually appeared in his eyes.
"Well said!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, and the two looked up, only to see a white figure slowly falling in the air.
The figure was dressed in a white shirt, his clothes were fluttering, like a fairy descending to earth, although the breath around his body was not the magnificent and sharp edge of the mountains and tsunamis, but it vaguely seemed to affect the qi of the entire heaven and earth, which was particularly unfathomable.
After a while, he landed in front of Su Changan and Hua Fei, looking at the two with a smile on the corner of his mouth. It's like an old friend who has been reunited for a long time, and I'm very happy.
Su Changan and Hua Fei also saw the faces of the visitors clearly at this time yesterday.
Their bodies froze, and a look of horror crept up on their faces, as if they had seen the most incredible scene in the world.
And then, the astonishment dissipated, and it was replaced by a touch of joy that was so solemn that it could hardly be dissolved.
The two of them stepped forward almost at the same time, and came to the white figure, exclaiming.
"Uncle Guo!"
"Senior Brother Guo!"
