In the late spring of the thirty-seventh year of Emperor Zongming's reign, General Zhang sent hundreds of thousands of troops to the Yuzhou border to fight with the Daqing army.
At the beginning of the great victory, Daqing's commander Liu Xuanqi almost abandoned his helmet and armor and fled. General Zhang led his troops to pursue and kill more than 10,000 of the enemy.
Later Daqing commanded Liu Xuanqi to gather the remaining defeated generals in the Hengjie Mountains. After receiving the news from the scouts, General Zhang made an immediate decision and decided to fight to decide the outcome.
However, when the army entered the Hengjie Mountains, they were besieged by the Dayong, Dayue, and Dayi armies!
The exhausted soldiers of Dayue were naturally no match for the coalition forces who were waiting for work. Under the desperate escort of a group of personal guards, General Zhang was hit by several arrows and was seriously injured and dying. He barely managed to escape.
But out of Oyue's one hundred thousand soldiers, only a few thousand finally broke out of the encirclement.
Gong Shangguo glanced at the letter.
again and again.
The palms of his hands were pinched together at some point, and the ferocious force seemed to dig the nails into the flesh. The veins were pulsing, and a feeling that even he couldn't explain suddenly hit his heart.
He was clearly standing on the ground, but his whole body seemed to be sliding down and down... as if he was going to fall into the bottomless abyss.
"Dayong, Dayue, Daqi...and Daqing."
Gong Shangguo's eyes were blank, "The four countries will join forces to conquer together?"
"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
The shopkeeper had not read the letter and did not understand what kind of news would make this young master, who had always been calm, calm, calm and indifferent, show such a confused expression.
Gong Shangguo ignored it, or in other words, he seemed to be unable to hear any sound for a moment.
Somehow I got to the street. It was clearly in the imperial capital, but the flow of people on the street was very sparse.
Occasionally, people who walked by walked on both sides of the road, and walked away quickly with their heads lowered, not even daring to raise their heads.
Gong Shangguo looked around, and beside him were thousands of houses used to shelter from wind and rain.
Tears fell unconsciously from the corners of his eyes, rolling in his throat, but he couldn't say a word. Even breathing seemed extremely difficult. A big invisible hand grabbed his neck, making it impossible for him to breathe.
The sky and the earth are long, and the shape is a single shadow.
I shed tears of sadness and couldn't help myself.
Unknowingly or somehow, Gong Shangguo walked to the door of a small courtyard.
It seemed that his consciousness had just returned to his physical body at this time. Gong Shangguo paused and stared at the familiar gate of the small courtyard.
Of course, he was very familiar with this place.
Mohist martial arts gym.
The place where he first met Mo Qiu and Gu Dan.
At that time, he had just arrived in the imperial capital from Yuzhou, and he had great pride in his heart. If he wanted to make a career, it would be best to clarify Yuyu, overthrow the alchemist, and directly restore order to the world.
It wasn't until I competed with Mo Qiu that I realized that there are people outside the world and there is a world outside the world.
It has been fifteen years now!
In fifteen years, everything has changed a lot.
The alchemist ran away without taking action; Mo Qiu founded the Mohist school and became famous in the world; the situation in Dayue was turbulent and dangerous...
But only this small courtyard still stands there quietly, and the people inside have never changed. They even look like they are in their twenties or thirties. Times have changed, but the people inside have always stayed. There, it seems that time has been retained and the marks have been worn away, making people calm down unconsciously.
Gong Shangguo stood there, as if he had traveled through time and returned to the way he looked when he first came here.
No wonder Brother Mo always likes to come here to sit and sit. Here, not only the people are left behind, but also the ambitions of the past.
His true heart when he was young was hidden in this courtyard.
After a pause, Gong Shangguo straightened up his appearance. After a while, Gong Shangguo cupped his hands and chanted as before: "My dear Gong Shangguo, I heard that this place is very good, so I came here to pay you a visit!"
In the courtyard, Gu Dan, who was coaxing Cang, was startled when he heard a familiar voice.
For a moment, time seemed to have traveled back to that ordinary afternoon in Zongming's 22nd year.
How do the golden wind and jade dew meet? The heroes of the world are among them!
When he raised his head, he saw a person standing in front of the door.
The man had sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and a dignified appearance, with a look of compassion as his eyes opened and closed. He was dressed in a white robe, with a little bit of mud staining it and making it look hazy and yellow. Needless to say, he was stuck in the dust. At this moment, he stood there with a troubled expression, like a stranger in the world.
Gu Dan had seen this look before on another person who looked exactly like Gong Shangguo.
Like, so similar.
Passing the Cang in his arms to Xun Ke and winking at Qin Lisheng, Gu Dan stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
"My Lord Shangguo, I heard that there is a miracle doctor in the Mohist martial arts school who has wonderful rejuvenation skills and the ability to hang a pot to save the world. I came here to pay my respects." Gong Shangguo said.
Xun Ke on the side was stunned.
What are these two people doing?
Qin Lisheng looked left and right, suddenly enlightened, and instantly understood the meaning of Gu Dan's eyes.
These two people have a problem with their thinking, and they must go to Master Mo!
He immediately sneaked away quickly.
"ha......"
Gu Dan laughed and said, "You have some insight."
He stood up, walked towards Gong Shangguo, and gave him a hug generously, "Welcome back."
A smile finally appeared on Gong Shangguo's face, and the compassion and hardship subsided, and he said, "Long time no see."
At the touch of a button, Gong Shangguo looked at Gu Dan, suppressed all the troublesome thoughts, and started chatting like a casual conversation, "It seems that Brother Mo was right to give Cang to you to take care of. I haven't seen you for a few months, and you have a lot of... It’s becoming more and more ‘human’.”
"If there is a little guy making trouble next to you every day, you will be very humane." Gu Dan shrugged, with a look of helplessness on his face.
The two looked at each other and suddenly laughed.
Fifteen years, it’s just a few words, after all, it’s not static.
"It seems...I came at the wrong time?"
In front of the small courtyard, Mo Qiu stood there, staring at the two of them with a worried look on his face.
"No, you came just in time!"
Gu Dan stroked his hand and said, "There's not much else here, we always have enough food and wine!"
With that said, he returned to the house and took out the Duanhunshao which was already an old wine.
Even a martial arts master cannot handle this wine after drinking too much.
He took out a few more side dishes and placed them on the stone table in the courtyard.
The three of them sat together, no longer talking about the general trend of the world, and no longer thinking about the future.
Old friends reunited, laughing and scolding.
After three rounds of drinking, my face turned red and my ears turned red.
Gong Shangguo stretched his feet on the table without any trace of image, and chanted: "Guanshan blocks the two hearts, talking about ambition to bring the galaxy together. I have no blood in my heart, but I lament the danger of the hero's life and death."
Mo Qiu pushed away the empty wine barrel in front of him and continued: "Full of anger, I ask the sky! Ask the sky, when will Wanli Guanshan return? Ask the sky, when will the moonless children be reunited again? Ask the sky, when will the moon come back again? Three-foot sword!"
Gu Dan stood up and chanted unsteadily: "The temple is wide when all the traitors are executed, and the strong breasts are stretched, and the thieves are sacrificed to Longquan, but why is the sky full of sorrow and resentment? Oh my God, are you also afraid of powerful traitors? It’s hard to speak!”
The three of them said in unison: "When the wind and snow break the roof and cut off the sky, why do you show off your majesty to the common people! It's hard to bury the blame of a hero. Where can I go to temporarily escape the wind and cold with my loneliness and anger!"
The drunkenness is getting stronger, and I have a dream of yellow rice.
