I don't want to return

It seemed that the patrolling soldiers had spotted someone, and the sound of footsteps and shouts resounded, making Mu Chongyu's heart sink.

Ever since he entered this city, he had doubts in his heart, seeing such a scene now, he was both apprehensive and half expectant.

—Perhaps his lost companions also came to this city.When he was at the gate of the city, he saw the portraits of Shen Qing and the others, and wondered if they might have come here too, but the current scene seems to vaguely confirm his guess.

It's just that when he looked up, he saw these patrolling soldiers holding torches and searching around, but he couldn't see his familiar figure.

This is also a good thing.At least it proved that they were not arrested.

Mu Chongyu suppressed his eagerness and patiently waited for the soldiers to go far away, and the place was calm again. Fang and Xue Jinghong jumped off the eaves and looked around cautiously.

Just as he was touching a courtyard, he faintly felt that the side door of the courtyard seemed to have been opened, so he had a lot of guesses in his mind, hurriedly opened the door and went in, and groped to the bottom of the wall of the inner room bit by bit.

While hesitating, he suddenly heard a very low voice calling from inside, it was a familiar voice calling: "Third Lord?"

Mu Chongyu was overjoyed.The next moment, the person inside opened the door and welcomed the two of them in.

It turned out that Shen Qing, Chen Kangsi and others crossed the river early in the morning and found that they were washed away. They searched along the river for a while but could not find other people, so they had to find a nearby town to settle down. I didn't expect that this place had already been interrogated and controlled by Mu Yuan, so I had no choice but to avoid it temporarily and go out of the city when I found an opportunity.

That's why they hid in someone's backyard, avoiding the pursuit of the soldiers just now.

This is luck among misfortunes.But it is a pity that only less than [-]% of the original people were able to confirm their whereabouts and converge here.

Some of the remaining people were injured by Mu Yuan's cold arrows before crossing the river, and some of them must have been drowned in the rolling waves.

When Mu Chongyu heard this, he was silent for a long time.It was as if his chest was pressed by a stone, which made him breathless. After a while, he let out a long sigh, but the sorrowful emotion became more and more entangled in his heart, and never let go.

"Your Majesty, sacrifices and damages are common in wars." Seeing Mu Chongyu's appearance, Xue Jinghong felt even more sour. He walked over and couldn't help persuading him softly.

But Mu Chongyu didn't seem to have heard of it, he seemed to be in deep thought, and he didn't seem to think about anything, just kept silent for a long time.I don't know how long it took before he said in a deep voice: "Let's go."

Leaving this place of right and wrong, leaving the place where he failed, and then regrouping, marching towards the unknown future.

In the early morning of the second day, when the rooster had just crowed for the first time, Mu Chongyu and his group set off.Although the soldiers interrogated them strictly, but this time everyone tacitly acted separately, disguised themselves, and left the city one after another at different times of the day.Most of them cheated the interrogation.

After all, the soldiers who defended the city did not hold portraits of everyone.

It's just that something happened when it was Shen Qing's turn. He was almost recognized, and he was about to be taken away. He didn't care about the disguise, so he knocked out a soldier, grabbed the sword and fought for a while, and ran Fortunately, I got rid of those people when I went out of the city.

It's just that if you do this, you will startle the snake.I'm afraid it won't be long before the news will reach Mu Yuan's ears.

So, the way to go after this becomes a problem.

It was noon at this time, and the scorched white sunlight shone on the vast barren fields in the suburbs, making people confused.

To the south, across the river is Lin'an, to the east is the town they just escaped from, to the west is the return route, up the river until Jingchu, and to the north... is Jinling, the former capital of Nanyan. where.

Since the capital of the country was destroyed, Jinling was garrisoned by heavy troops from Beiyu, and it has become an important military town. All civil unrest and uprisings were immediately suppressed by heavy troops, and it was difficult to survive.

Therefore, since he escaped from Beiyu, he never went to Jinling.

However, on the other hand, Jinling, as the capital of Nanyan, is also the place where the activities of the old Yan Zhishi are most concentrated.Most of the uprisings and rebellions began in Jinling.

Right now they have no one to go to, no one to win over, but they can take a risk, go north to Jinling, and call those who are interested in restoring Nanyan to one place.

At this stage of the field, Mu Chongyu can no longer trust other people.The courtiers of his Dayan had already defected to Beiyu, and the former Uncle Wang would also push him to a desperate situation.He can only accumulate strength by himself little by little, and then condense it into a knife in his hand, cutting down the thorns in his way.

Only in this way can we live up to the heroic spirits of those victims.

After Mu Chongyu discussed with Shen Qing and the others, they were about to set off for Jinling, not wanting to waste any more time.A group of people walked to the fork in the barren field, and it was time to say goodbye.

The strong afterglow of the setting sun pours down, and at the end of the farmland, you can see the intertwined clouds of night and day, extending to the sky.

Occasionally, a few sparrows chirped past, breaking the tranquility of the suburb.

There were no outsiders here, so Mu Chongyu didn't try to hide it. He stopped, turned around, glanced at Xue Jinghong, and finally turned away his eyes lightly, saying: "Your Majesty, the road ahead is boundless, and the future is uncertain. We will It is to gamble all the lives and lives of the family, and to complete the great cause. On the way to the north this time, there are many major military towns in Dayu, or Beiyu chasing soldiers who come to arrest us. We have no other choice but soldiers to block the water. If we are lucky enough to expand our troops, we will fight hard against the Chongqing soldiers and take back my Nanyan city that has been swallowed up. Your Majesty, do you still want to follow us at this point?"

After Mu Chongyu finished speaking, he paused for a long time, Fang seemed to sigh softly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty's kindness to Chongyu in saving his life, Chongyu will never forget it."

A deep pain and helplessness flashed in Xue Jinghong's eyes, but he could only keep this emotion in his eyes, unable to show it at all.So, he just looked at the person in front of him silently and with glued eyes.

It seems to want to melt the parting years that will come in the future into this dense glance.

Mu Chongyu felt the other party's gaze, and his lips squirmed twice, hesitant to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything, and he refused to utter a word.

Mu Chongyu turned around and left decisively.

The afterglow of the setting sun lay down in large swaths, sprinkled on his slender but straight back, on his black hair like ink, and on his plain white robe.

Xue Jinghong only felt that the red-gold sunlight was so dazzling that he unconsciously squinted his eyes.He stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, but touched the wet corners of his eyes.

There seemed to be a drop of clear tears flowing down his cheeks to his chin, and dripping into his open neckline.

Very cold.
