The old man stretched out his hand and opened the car curtain, letting the rain hit the palm of his hand.
"It's also such a rainy night... the fire burned all day. If my great-granddaughter is still alive, it should be so old, but I don't know if she can be as interesting as her."
Then he lowered his head and looked at the young man on the side, and said solemnly: "You have been following me for 13 years, have you ever been calm in your heart?"
The little servant bowed his head and said, "As the Jinghu Lake stops the water."
The old man sighed and said, "Then... Pick up the discarded name again."
The young man was infinitely excited, and his expression changed rapidly, as if he experienced countless springs and autumns in a flash, but then suddenly calmed down, and said with a soft smile: "I am a young man in the lord's mansion, this life is enough."
The old man was taken aback for a moment, then he smiled, and sighed to the sky: "This rain, maybe it can really wash away everything and make everything transparent."
…
The next day, a large and mysterious caravan composed of military officers kept coming in and out of the southern city gate, piling up trucks of cargo in the backyard of the Lu family, and sending special personnel to protect it. No one knew what it was.
On the same day, a seemingly ordinary small garden in Linjiang City suddenly hung up a plaque that no one knew about the entire Great Jade Country.
'Wu, the Palace of Sindhi'!
The King of Sindh, the only king with a different surname in the Great Jade Kingdom, has no one in the past, but... I am afraid that there will be no newcomers.
Wu is his surname and his first name. He is called'Wu' alone. People say the word'Wu', so they just refer to him. It was strange, but no one didn't understand the meaning of his name.
Wu, not only his name, but also the name of a country.
Once in the East, there was a country with the same status and power as the Great Jade Kingdom-the country of Wu. With its vast land, it will take another year for it to be fast! The wealth of the country, Mithril is the palace spar. The prosperous situation was that the great jade country at the beginning could only claim to be a subject country, and offered salaries year after year.
It is such a big country, but because of the mistake of one general and the loss of the first battle, he lost most of the country at Nanyang Pass. Since then, the "War of Nanyang", which has been recorded in the historical annals of the mainland, kicked off the prelude to the cruel and cruel term called the "War of Extinguishing Guo" for six decades.
The result of this war was the destruction and complete demise of a powerful empire. From then on, no one can know the State of Wu, and no one dares to call Wu Min.
Also remembered by history is the name of the general who lost the world, Shangguan Haoyue.
Twenty years after Wu Mieguo, a 60-year-old veteran with only three thousand soldiers, claiming to be the youngest son of Shangguan Haoyue, went to the great jade country for thousands of miles, and he was called Shangguanqi.
In the same year, Nanming dispatched an army of one million to raid the southern county of Dayu Kingdom. One is a huge country that has doubled its territory in twenty years, and the other is a pampered and rich country. From the beginning of the war, it has been a one-sided situation. The Great Jade Kingdom is in a precarious state in a precarious state.
But at this time, Shangguan Qiu still only took these three thousand soldiers, but he suddenly emerged, went straight into the army of Nanming, tore a rift from the encirclement and suppression of millions of troops, and escorted the master of the Great Jade Kingdom, who was conquered by the imperial commander, to escape. In a place now named as the'Guardian Cliff', the troops were divided into two groups, and hundreds of thousands of troops were chased away with only 1,300 soldiers.
At the end of the road, Shangguan Qiu led the last eight hundred soldiers to smash the cauldron and sink the boat, rushing out and rushing into the hinterland of Nanming...
For two full years, when Shangguan Chou returned to the Great Jade Kingdom again, he groaned with his horse from his hips and fell to the ground and died. He fell under the horse, covered in blood, and was in a coma for seven days and seven nights.
After waking up, no one asked him what he had done in the past two years, no one asked where the eight hundred soldiers were now, and no one asked why he just ran back alone. Because... Everyone's attention is attracted by a tattered cloth bag around his waist, or more precisely, by the things inside.
That was... the head of the head of the Nanming Kingdom-Shen Nantian's Xiangshang!
Until this time, the people of the Great Jade Kingdom knew that Nanming’s retreat was not because the country’s lord was seriously ill, and the second prince of Nanming, who personally led the army to conquer, did not go back immediately because of his filial piety.
From then on, Nanming State fell into civil strife and gave Dayu State peace for decades. In this tranquility, the Great Jade Nation has finally become a powerful nation that can deter neighboring countries with force.
Shangguan Qiu, a name that both Da Yu Country and Nan Ming Country will not forget, but was abandoned by him. He personally asked the Lord of the Great Jade Kingdom to change his name, using only the word'Wu'.
He said that this was an atonement for his father.
The father's debt is paid back, and the word "letter" is accounted for. The national hatred family report, accounted for a "de" character.
With a stroke of a pen, the first king of the Great Jade Kingdom gave him the only king with a different surname, the King of Xinde, but his signature will always have the word'Wu' written in the front.
Wu, King of Sindh.
But it was this prince who suddenly quit his old man thirteen years ago, and moved his family to the banks of the Han River, in the city of Linjiang, and never left the house ever since. And the so-called "family", there are only two people, one himself, one servant, nothing more.
Nowadays, the plaque of the Royal Palace of Xindah is finally hung up, as if it heralds a certain change, which makes some people happy and shocked some people, but no matter what, everyone knows that this rainy sky is constantly raining. It's not like it used to be.
…
Seven days later, the rain stopped.
But people are still coming.
The victims, vast and mighty, spread out from the horizon like a torrent, covering the entire world.
The new prefect of Linjiang City, Guo Qilin, was just a dazed effort. The streets and alleys were already full of refugees and beggars, so when he ordered the city gates to be closed, the victims who had been hungry for an unknown number of days actually gave birth to infinite strength, almost Pushing the city gate open, in the end, a knife and a gun were used to bleed the whole street and dye the whole street bright red, before extinguishing the violence of the victims, and finally sealing the city.
The business of the various grain shops in the city suddenly became better, but these merchants chose to close the shops at this time, and even sealed the doors and windows with wooden nails to prevent anyone from entering.
Some kind-hearted homes were still building sheds and porridge at the beginning, but after only two days, they gave up at the same time, and rushed home to also seal the gates.
The lively Linjiang City suddenly became lifeless, because there were dead people on the street. The scrawny victims walked between the rice shops with the last hope, but they were disappointed again and again when they accidentally fell. Falling down, or being knocked down by other victims, will never get up again.
Linjiang City is a dead city, but outside Linjiang City is purgatory.
The child with dry arms sat next to his dead mother, rubbing his eyes and crying, but he couldn't shed tears, and his chapped lips were full of blood.
The cauldron on the side of the road is cooking the last meal of the victims, and the pot is full of neighbors’ children or their own wives and daughters. Every morning, a mother secretly feeds her child a piece of fat meat, then walks out of the shack, takes the initiative to take off her clothes, stands next to the wooden pier, waits for the eldest brother who helped her during the journey, and uses a blunt hatchet Divide into several sections and throw them into the boiling water.
If there really is a hell of no room, I want to come here.
"why?!"
Lu Qian carried a heavy bag of rice with a thin body, looked at Lu Gaofeng who was guarding the door, and asked loudly.
"People are dead outside! Our family has food, why don't we save them?!"
Lu Gaofeng's eyes were painful, but his expression was determined. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Linjiang City has more than 200,000 residents and 7,000 soldiers. It is a big city. But at this time, there are millions of victims outside the city! This is not a flood, this is... a besieged city!"
In the small courtyard, Xiao Ruan gently rubbed Lu Yu's forehead, she bit her lip, and then slowly said, "Really... How many days will you have to wait?"
Lu Yu held her hand and held it in his arms with some force.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Maybe coming to this world makes my heart soft, maybe it's the warmth now that makes my heart cold anymore... To be honest, I can't wait for those days, even... hey,"
Lu Yu raised his head and looked at the sky. The cyan looked so clear, but Lu Yu knew clearly that a bigger storm was coming.
"Hey, the four-year plan may be defeated today..."
Xiao Ruan smiled happily, then hugged him, and whispered: "Even if you lose everything... the young master still has his wife, and the eldest lady, and... the slave and maidservant."
Lu Yu was taken aback, turned his head and looked at Xiao Ruan's face that was not beautiful, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt happy. Suddenly a piece of hard ice shattered in his heart and turned into a smile on his mouth. , With these... wouldn’t it be enough?"
Xiao Ruan looked at his young master, tilted his head and said cutely: "Young master smiles best today."
