Although the first snowfall of this year started in Shendu, in fact, as the days get closer and closer to the cold winter, the heavy snowfall in the northern counties of Daliang is much heavier than that in Shendu. In fact, just the snow disaster alone,
Before Daliang, no one knew how many people died every year.
The people's life is difficult. In many cases, it has nothing to do with whether there are monks oppressing people or whether monsters eat people. The quality of officials, natural and man-made disasters, can easily take away the people's hope of survival.
However, after the founding of Daliang, the situation improved. Emperor Taizu Gao paid attention to people's livelihood from the beginning. By the time of Emperor Lingzong, the number of people dying from snow disasters in the north was not high every year. Many officials died almost every winter.
As a result, the people's lives have become much easier.
Xuanling County is the largest county in the north. Its geographical location is very dangerous. It is between two high mountains. It has always been regarded by the Liang Dynasty as a fortress for the north. Every time the grain and grass baggage is transported to the north, almost all of it passes through here.
, if we don’t take this route, the distance will probably be increased three times, and for the Liang Dynasty, the gains outweigh the losses.
Therefore, in Xuanling County, the Liang Dynasty has 50,000 elite soldiers stationed all year round, with a number of monks accompanying the army, in order to guard against the monsters and outsiders who are scattered in the territory of the Liang Dynasty.
The general stationed here is named Wei Feng, and he is the favorite disciple of the great general in the north. He had served on that Great Wall for more than ten years, and then because he was severely injured by the demon clan in a big battle, he was injured.
When it reached the lungs, the root cause of the disease was established, and he could no longer adapt to the weather in the northern border. Therefore, he retired from the northern border army and came to this Xuanling County to serve as a general. In fact, there were rumors in the army that the general Wei Feng in front of him had earlier
Nian is one of the young men chosen by the Northern General. If nothing happens, if he spends a few years on the Great Wall of the North and waits until the day when this young warrior sets foot in the Wangyou Realm, he will very likely take over the Northern Territory.
Military defense and become the next Northern General.
It's a pity that after General Wei was seriously injured, he would stop at the other side in his life, and it would be impossible to climb up again. So when he left the Great Wall in the north, he didn't think too much about it.
Walked very freely.
It's just that he was free and easy at that time, so he didn't necessarily have any thoughts in his heart. This general has become more and more taciturn in recent years, probably for this reason.
Today, Wei Feng is in his barracks, with the stove shining on his dark face. His eyes, which were once extremely firm, are looking at the fire in the stove, but for some reason, he has become confused.
As a gust of wind blew up, a figure appeared behind the Xuanling County guard. The person who came was a tall and thin middle-aged man, wearing a loose Taoist robe, but there was not much feeling of immortality in his body. At this moment, he
Standing behind Wei Feng, he said with some emotion: "General Wei, haven't you thought about it yet?"
Wei Feng did not turn around, but stretched out his hand to fiddle with the charcoal in the stove. As a martial artist, even if he had not entered the realm of forgetfulness, Wei Feng was not afraid of the temperature of the charcoal. He just stretched out his hand to touch the red-hot charcoal.
The water vapor on his palms also evaporated, making a hissing sound.
Wei Feng was indifferent and just let go of the charcoal and then said: "There is nothing to talk about. Although I, Wei, am a martial artist, I still know in my heart what things should be done and what things should not be done."
The man smiled and said unconcernedly: "General Wei, you are really loyal to the Liang Dynasty, but has the Liang Dynasty ever cared about it?"
Wei Feng said nothing and Quan pretended not to hear.
The man continued: "The general in the north looks like he doesn't have much time to live. General Wei has been trapped in the border on the other side for a long time, right? General Wei also thinks who will the court let after the general dies?
Take over? Do you have anyone in mind?"
As the man's questions increased, Wei Feng couldn't help but frown.
But he still didn't speak.
How is the situation in the north and who will be the successor of the general? Of course he cares about these things, but that's all. Apart from that, he can't do anything else. With his old illness, he has no hope of forgetting his worries, even if he cares about them.
Wanting to guard the northern border for the people of Liang was simply not something he could do.
Since there is no hope, why think too much.
Facing Wei Feng's silence, the man didn't care. He just stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "General Wei, what if I can cure the general's old illness?"
These words seemed to be light and airy, just like the snow falling in the cold winter, but when Wei Feng heard these words, he suddenly turned around and stared at the man in front of him, "What did you say?
"
As he said these words, powerful energy also surged out of his body. He who had reached the other shore state many years ago would have already reached the state of Wangyou if he didn't have the old illness. Now he is like this.
His strong momentum can also prove his strength.
Feeling Wei Feng's pressure, the man remained calm and said calmly: "Whether it's Tianyuyuan or the Ministry of Industry in the Liang Dynasty, in our opinion, they are just waste. You can do things like alchemy.
How could these warriors know the secret? The general has an old ailment. All he needs to do is find a good elixir and refine a pill, and the general's injuries will be completely restored. Depending on the general's qualifications, he may enter the state of forgetfulness and worry.
It's just a matter of time. As for the battle in the north, we can also help the general. I'm afraid the general has a great chance of becoming the general of the north."
Wei Feng didn't hear the words that followed. He was in a trance just after that pill. For so many years, he never thought about recovering from his injuries. He didn't know how much effort he spent on this.
, he has done many things, but things went against his expectations, and he still failed to make any improvement, so that in the end he no longer had any hope in this matter, but even so, the fire hidden in his heart actually had nothing to do with it.
It may be extinguished, but it only takes a little spark to burn it again.
"How does this general know that you are not deceiving me?"
Wei Feng stared at the man in front of him. If he didn't get the answer he wanted, Wei Feng might tear him into pieces without any hesitation.
At such a close distance, even if the opponent's level is similar to his, he may not be able to withstand Wei Feng's full blow.
The man didn't reply. He just took out a small medicine box, threw it directly to Wei Feng, and said with a smile: "The medicine is here. It has been prepared for General Wei. Would you like to try it, General Wei?"
Wei Feng caught the medicine box that was thrown in front of him. Before he opened it, the aroma of the medicine inside hit his face. Smelling the medicinal aroma, his internal organs felt extremely comfortable, especially his lungs.
It was so moisturizing that he didn't feel any discomfort at all.
"General, you can take it and see the effect."
The man reminded with a smile.
Wei Feng glanced at the man. Although he was still a little hesitant, he still couldn't hold back the throbbing in his heart. He opened the medicine box, took out the fragrant elixir and drank it.
The moment he ate it, Wei Feng thought about a lot of things. He even thought that the pill he was eating was poison. After eating it, the man would use it to threaten him. But if this was really the case, then Wei Feng would
I will completely ignore his request and go to death calmly.
However, after eating it, he felt no special sensation other than a coolness in his body. However, the dull pain in his lungs had now eased a lot.
This elixir is really useful for his injuries.
The man looked at Wei Feng and said: "There are three pills in total. After eating them, the general's injury will be healed. Now I will give one to the general. After finishing that big thing, there will be two pills left. I will naturally give them to you with both hands."
superior."
Wei Feng shook his head and said calmly: "Is it really possible to kill a king with his ministers?"
"There is no need for the general to take action personally. What the general has to do is actually very simple, which is to do nothing."
The man looked at Wei Feng and said softly: "The Liang Dynasty will not change without such an emperor. The Liang Dynasty is still the same Daliang Dynasty. The general did nothing and nothing happened. When the new emperor came to the throne, the general was still the same Daliang Dynasty."
That general may be able to take a step forward after returning to the northern border and become an indispensable figure in the Liang Dynasty. What's wrong with that?"
Wei Feng was silent. As a warrior with a military background, he had always had great respect for the Emperor of Liang. In the past ten years, the support of the Liang Dynasty for the northern border was visible to the naked eye, and all the people in the world were aware of it.
You can say something bad about the Emperor of Liang, but only the soldiers in the northern border cannot say anything bad about the Emperor of Liang.
Especially after Emperor Liang traveled thirty thousand miles to Mobei and returned again, Wei Feng's respect for him reached its peak.
But admiring Emperor Liang is one thing, and the current choice is another.
Wei Feng frowned slightly, feeling very confused. I'm afraid no one except him would understand the feeling of renewed hope.
Hope blooms in front of you again, and then you have to choose whether to erase hope and continue to sink into despair, or choose to do something for hope that you are not willing to do on weekdays.
This choice is not easy to make.
"General, once you miss something, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
…
…
At nightfall, the snow fell heavily.
In a house near the city gate in Xuanling County.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, there was only one solitary lamp lit in a house.
Several figures were looming.
One of them asked, "How did things go?"
Another person said calmly: "When people are in the world, they will naturally ask for something. Give them what they want, how can they refuse?"
"The so-called loyalty and faith are actually not worth mentioning. As long as you give him something that he can't refuse, naturally anything can be done."
A figure enveloped the lonely lamp and said indifferently: "There is still one day. For these people, it is New Year's Eve. After New Year's Eve, it will be a new year. In the new year, I don't want to see him anymore."
——
Ah, put it off for one more day
