Chapter 73 Return journey
In the night, Alvin and his group were like a group of tireless animals, each with their own thoughts and running around in confusion.
In fact, there is a story in every tired and stiff face.
The most vivid ones should be Alvin and Onian.
Alvin felt despair and depression flowing around him, as if the bleak night would continue endlessly. He couldn't tell whether the night was like this, or whether he wanted it to be like this. He felt
His gums have been hurting for a long time, and he must be extremely tired. But he knows that he will not have a chance to rest now, and he does not believe that Resa will let his group go easily. So now he is in a sad mood.
Stop dead.
He didn't dare to think about his father at all. When people dare not face reality, they will start to selectively ignore it. But Lao Fei's body on the saddle reminds him all the time that what happened has happened
.Whether he thought about it or not, the figure that looked back at his father always remained in his mind. Reality was lashing and ridiculing him endlessly. He even wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, beg reality, and beg himself.
, but these two just refused to let him go.
But if it weren't for the support of these desperate moments, he would have collapsed long ago. Ever since "Two New Moons", he has been wanting to fall asleep. If it weren't for the tragic scenes in his mind that repeatedly stimulated his nerves
, he probably no longer cares about life or death.
Just when he wanted to scream into the endless night, he saw her empty eyes next to him. In the previously dazzling golden eyes, there was only a deep despair, bottomless.
At this moment of despair, he found someone beside him who was more desperate than him. This made him even more desperate. Suddenly he didn't even want to make a sound. Perhaps the most desperate thing in the world is when a person is deeply in despair.
When he was in despair, he had to hold up his face to comfort another person next to him who was more desperate than him. For some reason, he remembered what "skin philosopher" Lan Li said - life always pushes us forward.
, I never thought about it, and I didn’t have time to stop.
"How about burying them?" Alvin asked tentatively, looking at Onian.
Onian didn't seem to hear it and continued to drive the horse on her lap.
"I said, let's bury them." He took the reins from Onian's hand.
The mounts of the two men slowed down, and the entire queue also slowed down. Everyone took the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief. After all, they had to travel so much immediately after a big battle, and many people were already wandering on the edge of confusion.
.
Onian looked at Alvin blankly, as if she still didn't hear what he was saying.
"Let's go and bury them." Alvin said again.
Onian's eyes widened and she looked at Alvin in horror, as if the man in front of her was a devil who brought death.
Alvin looked at her quietly and sighed in his heart, knowing that she was also desperately resisting reality.
Maybe Alvin's words were too vague, who exactly did "they" refer to.
"Xia Ye, make some arrangements. Let's rest where we are and then hit the road later." Alvin ordered, "Oh, by the way, find two more mercenaries who are still strong enough to follow me up the mountain."
Xia Ye looked around and saw that everyone looked dumb. He thought to himself that he would just follow Alvin.
Alvin was too lazy to care about it at this time, and just lifted Lao Fei off the saddle. He glanced at Onian, and Xia Ye quickly wanted to step forward to help her, but the princess had already neatly lifted Piro
The master carried it on his shoulders.
At this time, Junyun behind Kaiba woke up leisurely. With the dim light from the firewood, she saw the two young men carrying people on their backs. At first, she looked confused, and then she couldn't help but feel sad.
Tears fell on Kaiba's back.
The two young men carried their teachers on their shoulders and trudged up the mountain. Xia Ye followed awkwardly behind.
In fact, using some magic can reduce a lot of work such as lifting people and digging holes, but these two people are useless. Xia Ye looked at the two young people digging holes with their staffs and felt a little confused for a moment.
At a loss.
"Old Fei, this place has a pleasant view of the mountains and the sea. Students can only do so much." Alvin said, looking at Fei Timo's pale face in the pit.
Onian, on the other hand, didn't say a word and stared at Master Piro without any expression.
In fact, both of them are extremely reserved people, and they will not be hypocritical. Only stupid people are good at lying to themselves, while truly honest people have already integrated the difficult-to-dissolve emotions in their lives into their lives.
In character.
Both of them knew in their hearts that this was no longer a simple funeral, but a farewell to the past. It can be said that after the battle of Mallord, both of them lost the protection of their fathers. What is the future, life or death?
It all depends on themselves.
"Let's go, we have to continue our journey." Alvin took off his coat and put it on Onian, turned around, and no longer looked at the two tombstones behind him.
A stele reads "The pillar of the country, Haiyu
Grandmaster."
The other piece simply says "Good teacher, helpful friend."
The reason why Alvin left these four words was not because the relationship between Lao Fei and him was that of both teacher and friend, but that he had vaguely guessed the relationship between Lao Fei and his parents.
So he also began to have endless conjectures about the origin of the "Laws of Space and Time" and why it was handed over to him through Lao Fei.
After Onian said goodbye to his mentor, the three of them walked out of the forest.
Kaiba immediately pulled Alvin aside, obviously wanting to ask him something.
"What are you going to do?" Kaiba glanced at Onian.
"What can we do? Let's go back to Saryuxi first. As long as the princess is here, I believe there should still be a lot of people on our side. In addition, Saryuxi city is high and deep, even if Resa and the others want to come forcefully,
We may not be able to capture it in a short time. Once the war drags on for a long time, we will have a chance. For a traitor like Reza, if he cannot defeat it quickly, he will have to face those who are loyal to the royal family and come from all directions.
Come to King Qin’s army.” Alvin said.
"But, aren't there flying dragons on Resa's side? Are they really unable to attack Saluhi?" Kaiba asked worriedly.
"Lesa wouldn't be so mad as to use flying dragons to attack the city. After all, he still wants to be famous. If he really wants to burn down the century-old capital and turn the millions of people in Saluhi into barbecues, how can he, the throne of
Can you still sit still?" Alvin asked.
"I hope so." Kaiba said solemnly, "It's just that I think you are too optimistic. Not many people will stand by the princess."
"Is there anything you want to tell me?" Alvin turned his head and looked at Kaiba.
"No, no." Kaiba hesitated for a moment.
"Did you see your father when he was on the battlefield?" Alvin asked, staring at Kaiba.
"I don't think I saw him." Kaiba replied, avoiding Alvin's eyes.
"Have you not seen Chen Zhu's father?" Alvin asked next.
"Are you kidding? There are more than 200,000 people on both sides. It's such a huge crowd. How can I have time to identify each one?" Kaiba said angrily, "What exactly do you want to ask?"
"It's nothing, I just feel that you seem very calm and relaxed." Alvin said calmly.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Kaiba was a little annoyed.
"Nothing." Alvin waved his hand, "But no matter what, I want to thank you. Thank you for accompanying me on this damn battlefield."
When Kaiba heard what Alvin said, he was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a while.
But Alvin glanced at Miss Junyun, who was still heartbroken, intentionally or unintentionally.
"What should I do with this girl? Her father is Reza's mortal enemy." Alvin asked.
"I don't know, I haven't asked her yet. To be precise, she has been unconscious."
Alvin thought for a moment and patted Kaiba on the shoulder, "It's not easy for you too."
Kaiba looked at Alvin inexplicably when he heard this.
"Let's go, get to Xi Tuo City and have a good rest." Alvin said and walked towards his mount.
Kaiba looked at Alvin's back and felt that this guy seemed to have aged a lot overnight.
Thanks to the road construction they had done a few days ago, the road was quite smooth. However, most of those who built bridges and paved roads were killed in the battlefield. Is this another interpretation of "building bridges and paving roads leaves no corpses"?
--------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
It was dawn the next day, and the group had already arrived at the foot of Xituo City.
Looking from a distance, Xituo City looked the same as when they left. There were only two teams of people guarding the city gate, and the city gate was wide open. However, the road up the mountain was almost repaired. Ai
Erwin thought that no one had brought the news from the front line. After all, they were on their way non-stop, and the military report from Yiling Bernard might not be faster than them.
Even so, he still chose to leave everyone at the foot of the mountain and let Kaiba follow him into the city. After all, he had no way of knowing what these Maine generals were thinking, so he had to prepare for the worst. But Onian was uneasy and insisted on
Go with him. Alvin couldn't resist her, so he had to agree. He began to worry that if a fight broke out, they might not be able to escape unscathed. After all, none of them had a good rest after yesterday's battle. Especially him.
I feel that my magic power and physical strength have not recovered much.
As for why he had to come to Xituo City, it was because he always wanted to seek confirmation from the two brothers who had been with him for many years, even though he already knew the answer.
Of course, there is another reason, and that is the unconscious Miss Junyun.
After Miss Junyun woke up last night, she originally wanted to insist on riding a horse by herself, but there were not so many horses. In desperation
, or we can only ride with Kaiba.
She was injured to begin with, and even though Jiu Zhan's sword was not powerful, it still stabbed her through. After running around all night, the injury was probably aggravated, and now the girl was hugging her with a bloodless face.
She fell asleep while holding the horse's neck. If Kaiba hadn't held her waist behind her, she would have fallen off the horse long ago.
Alvin looked at Kaiba's frowning expression and was glad that he had done nothing wrong. If he continued to take this girl on the road, he would probably die within a day or two. If he abandoned her in this tin
When Tuocheng was treating her, she had to hide her identity, otherwise she would be in danger of losing her life.
"I'm going to see if Kui Qing has left in a while. If she hasn't left yet, let her take Juan Yun back to Saluhi." Alvin said to Kaiba. If he hadn't been in a hurry right now,
When he returned to Saluhi, he himself wanted to take the airship back. God knows how much he wanted to sleep at this time, but he also knew in his heart that he was already too exhausted now, and his brain began to work extremely excitedly. Even if he was sleepy, he would still be tired.
Can't sleep.
Just as the three of them arrived at the city gate, they heard a familiar voice.
"Your Highness!"
It turned out to be the city guard Feng Yu. He jumped down from the top of the city, and his eyes were a little moist under his enthusiastic face. He didn't expect that the princess could come back alive. Just now he was doubting whether his eyes were seeing.
Wrong, he looked at the dozen riders running in the distance, looked at the figure with swaying snow hair, and was about to cry several times. He originally thought that Onian and others would turn directly to New York City, but they didn't.
I thought she would come to Xituo City again.
Onian was unmoved. She was obviously wary of this officer under Reza.
When Feng Yu looked at Onian's expression, he became even more convinced of the prince's role in this battle.
The city guard looked at Onian sincerely and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, I will never have other thoughts in my humble position."
Onian didn't respond.
Alvin asked directly to Feng Yuan: "Master City Guard, where are the two Dukes Jisu and Nanton? Are they still in the city?"
"The two Dukes left for New York City the day after you left." Feng Yuan said in a calm tone, but it was clear that he did not have any respect for the two old guys.
"My two brothers also followed?" Alvin asked.
"Yes, let's go together." Feng Yu nodded.
Alvin pondered for a moment and couldn't help but want to laugh, and sighed in a low voice: "Everyone is in a hurry to celebrate."
Onian looked at the expression on his face calmly.
"What about our airship? Is it still in the city?" Alvin then asked.
"It's still there. It seems that I have been modifying something in the past two days." Feng Yu thought for a moment and replied.
"Then let the city guard take us to the airship." Alvin said, "Oh, by the way, we have to ask the city guard to prepare some dry food and horse grass for us, and just drag the things to the foot of the mountain."
"Why don't we go into the city together? Do you think you can't trust me?" Feng Yuan said helplessly, and then turned to look at O'Nian.
"Prince Reza has openly rebelled. There are so many Maine elites in this city. To be honest, I am still afraid that you will kill us all in exchange for rewards." Alvin said with a bitter smile.
, "Of course, the princess's head should be the most valuable."
"Your Highness, no matter what others say, Feng Yuan will always remember your kindness in rescuing Xituo City that day." Feng Yuan immediately knelt down on one knee, burst into tears, and swore an oath to O'Nian.
Alvin and Kaiba were dumbfounded at this moment.
"Get up, it's my duty to rescue Xi Tuo City." Onian said calmly.
Feng Yu saw Onian's cold expression and knew that it would be useless to talk more. After sighing bitterly, he had no choice but to lead a few people to the camp where the airship was located.
"You guys, hurry up and stop dawdling here. Is it possible that you don't want today's wages?" Before entering the camp, Kui Qing's clear voice was heard.
I saw this little girl holding one hand on her waist and directing seven or eight craftsmen four or five times her age with the other to dismantle the armor on the airship.
"Little sister Kui Qing." Alvin waved towards the airship.
The little girl could hardly believe her ears. When she turned around, she already had an expression on the verge of tears. She looked at the sunrise shining down on the man on the horse, who was covered with dust. After not seeing him for a few days, he had become so thin.
Duo. Although there was a smile on his lips, his face was very pale. She had never seen the tiredness in his brows. She was keenly aware that it was not just tiredness, but a kind of depression.
A hopeless look. In her impression, Brother Alvin always had that bad look with raised eyebrows and teasing. Why did he suddenly become like this?
