Ding'an Star is located outside Hulao Pass and is under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Palace.
This place is not far from the battlefield, but Ding'an Prefecture has never sent troops to reinforce it.
The imperial court had reached a consensus with the Tang Dynasty, so the garrison troops in various places stood still and just watched quietly as the Qianlong Army and the Tang Army fought, without anyone helping.
The army still needed to be repaired, but Zhang Feng took the lead and arrived at Ding'an Star.
A familiar yet unfamiliar territory appeared in Zhang Feng's eyes, and he felt half excited and half desolate.
When they set out that year, Cao Bao and Zhang Feng were so high-spirited that they planned to leave their hometown and make a name for themselves.
Now that I have returned to my hometown again, there are only withered bones left and all my thoughts are gone.
The heavy coffin was carried behind Zhang Feng, making his body look extremely small. Zhang Feng was still wearing armor covered in blood at this moment, and pedestrians on the road were avoiding him and pointing.
But Zhang Feng doesn't care about any of this.
Looking for his memory, he came to Fancheng where the Cao family was located.
Broken and decaying city walls came into view, and the once prosperous Fancheng had been reduced to ruins.
The city seemed to have been bombarded by countless spiritual stone cannons. There were craters everywhere on the ground. It was pitch black all around, and the ruins of broken houses could be seen everywhere.
No living person could be seen in the entire Fancheng.
In fact, not even a single intact building can be seen.
Zhang Feng carried the coffin on his back and stumbled into the city wall, looking around in confusion.
For Zhang Feng, Fancheng left him wonderful memories.
Although he was a slave, as Cao Bao's playmate since childhood, his life was actually very rich. The bun shop in the east of Fancheng and the sideshows in the west of the city left deep memories for him.
However, everything in my mind is now invisible.
A terrible disaster occurred here, everyone disappeared, and a city was destroyed abruptly.
A wild wolf passed through the ruins. When it saw Zhang Feng, it suddenly sensed the oncoming killing intent and ran away with its tail between its legs.
Zhang Feng suddenly felt a sense of fear, and he stumbled towards the Cao family.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
As he walked, Zhang Feng roared, venting his emotions.
He was furious, depressed, aggrieved, depressed, and all kinds of emotions suddenly broke out at this moment.
Zhang Feng can return to his hometown in fine clothes, and he can take Cao Bao back to his hometown, but the once beautiful hometown can only exist in his memory and will never come back.
Zhang Feng's voice echoed everywhere, and it was empty, like a ghost land.
The Cao family compound was empty, with signs of damage everywhere.
"People! People! Come!" Zhang Feng's stuttering became more serious and he could only shout a few syllables.
No one responded to him.
Zhang Feng searched the main room, the side room, the front yard, and the back yard, carrying the coffin on his back, but no one responded to him.
Zhang Feng suddenly walked towards the main hall of the Cao family.
This is a place where only direct members of the Cao family come often.
Zhang Feng still remembers that every time he came here, he would be blocked because of his status as a slave, and he could only wait outside for Cao Bao to come out.
This time, no one could stop him.
There was chaos in the main hall, and Zhang Feng found a letter here.
"We held on for more than ten days, but the Xingfu was still unwilling to send troops to assist. I, the descendants of Fancheng, did not want to be imprisoned by the Tang people, but they were brutally massacred on the day the city was broken. My Cao family has been loyal for generations, and today is the time to die to serve the country!
"
This is the last word of the head of the Cao family.
Zhang Feng placed the coffin in the main hall and stammered: "Young Master, Young Master, let's go home."
