Under the sunny Lishan Mountain, Daolin was riding a horse and walking leisurely.
When he arrived, he was lying half-dead in the carriage. Now he had the opportunity to take a good look at the northern scenery of the Shenwu Empire.
This place is located in the northernmost part of the Shenwu Empire, only a few hundred miles away from the northernmost backbone of the mainland.
The cold wind blows here, which is not strong but very penetrating. The people seen on the road are all wearing furs and mink hats.
"I wonder if they missed me?" Dorian murmured with a blade of grass in his mouth.
"Anyway, quitting drinking won't be able to defeat me!" All that flashed through Dolin's mind was the idea of how to educate him about quitting drinking when he went back.
The more he thought about it, the slower he felt, but the distance was indeed too far. Even if he walked non-stop, it would probably take him two months. If he stopped halfway, it would be enough to walk for three months.
Daolin looked back at the towering Lihuo Mountains and said in his heart, "Master, take care."
On the observation deck of the South Peak of Xie Zanghui, King Thunder Flash looked down the mountain with his hands behind his back. Wherever he looked, he saw the shadow of Daolin.
"Don't worry, I already tried it that night, and his concentration is also very firm. I didn't get lost in the temptation. This kid is good." The Ghost King slowly walked behind the Lightning King and said.
"You still have the nerve to say, what if he fails to control it?" King Thunderbolt said angrily.
"If you can't control it, then you can't control it. No one will suffer anyway!" The Ghost King covered his mouth and said with a smile.
The corner of King Thunderbolt's mouth twitched, and his heart was throbbing.
"Okay, let's go back and guard. We have to be on guard until the president comes out of seclusion." The Ghost King put away his joke and said.
Daolin walked and stopped for about half a month, and finally came to a big city. He rode to the city gate and saw three big characters carved on the top of the city gate - Wan'an City.
"I can finally have a good sleep." Dolin rode into the city and saw that the city was very desolate. Except for children and women, there was no man on the street.
And his appearance also attracted attention. Many passers-by pointed at him, which puzzled him. Is there something special about him?
With confusion, Dorian found a restaurant, and the person who received him was actually a woman, and the person behind the counter was also a woman.
"Is it possible that I have entered the daughter's country?" With doubts, Dolin followed the waiter and walked in.
After finding a seat by the window and cooking, Daolin ordered three pounds of beef and one pound of good wine.
"May I ask, why have I never seen a man?" Dorian asked aloud just as the waiter was about to leave.
The waitress turned and looked at Dorian.
"Why are so many people looking at me since I entered the city?" Dowling continued to ask.
"The reason why I'm looking at you is that all the men in their family are on the front line, but you, a man who looks quite strong, can wander around leisurely." The female waiter said in an unkind tone.
"Go to the front line? What front line?" Dolin asked doubtfully.
"The entire Shenwu Empire knows it, so you don't have to pretend to be dumbfounded. Is that interesting?" the female waiter said angrily.
Dolin was stunned for a moment. Is this woman sick? She started criticizing him for no reason?
The middle-aged woman behind the counter came over at this moment, pulled the waitress behind her, and then smiled apologetically at Dolin.
"Don't be angry, my daughter doesn't mean anything against you," the middle-aged woman said.
"I'm not angry, I just don't understand why?" Dolin shook his head and said.
The middle-aged woman looked Daolin up and down and saw that he was not particularly expensive in his clothes, but he was not from an ordinary family either. She thought that he should be a small official or a child of a certain family.
"What's wrong with me?" Dorian asked, touching his face.
"You really don't know?" the middle-aged woman asked.
"What do I know? I just came down from the mountain and have never been to a city or town. How can I know what happened?" Dolin said with a grimace.
"I see, sir, please stop eating and leave quickly. Don't stay in the city, otherwise it will be too late." The middle-aged woman said with an urgent look.
"Why? Is it possible that someone else is arresting me?" Dolin found it funny.
"Yes, someone is really going to arrest you!" the middle-aged woman nodded and said.
Daolin frowned when he heard this. In broad daylight, he didn't do anything bad, so who would arrest him?
"Hurry up and serve the meat and wine. Even if I leave, I have to eat before I leave." Dolin said with a smile.
Seeing that she could not persuade him, the middle-aged woman hurriedly went to serve wine and meat.
After a while, three kilograms of soy sauce beef and one kilogram of homemade white wine were served.
Dowling picked up a piece of sliced beef with soy sauce and ate it with relish. His knife skills were a bit poor. The beef was cut thin and thick at times. It was obvious that he was not a chef.
"Madam boss, please tell me what's going on. What did your daughter mean when she said going to the front line?" Dolin asked after taking a sip of liquor.
"About half a month ago, the two great empires of Lieyang and Chiyue had a complete war with us at the border. The frontline soldiers suffered numerous casualties."
"Especially in the Western Region. It is said that the Lieyang Empire sent one million troops, but we in the Western Region only have 480,000 soldiers. We relied on natural dangers to defend the country."
"But after the opponent's repeated consumption, our situation is also very bad. In addition, the supplies are not equipped in time. Several times, the Lieyang Empire rushed to the Hewu Mountain. It was only the soldiers who fought to the death that the mountain was restored.
Grab it and bring it back."
"This is how the entire empire was mobilized. All men over the age of sixteen but under the age of sixty must go to the front line. This is a national war, a battle of life and death."
"My daughter had a bad attitude just now because her newly married husband and father also went to the front line."
The middle-aged woman burst into tears as she spoke.
Dolin felt a tightness in his chest when he heard it. He picked up a glass and drank it down. The spicy wine entered his stomach along the esophagus, and then he took a long breath, and then he let out the breath he was holding in his chest.
"How long has it been since the fighting began?" Dorian asked eagerly.
"My husband and his friends have been away for more than ten days, and they are expected to arrive at the front line in more than half a month." My daughter also walked over with pear blossoms in the rain.
Dolin didn't know how to comfort him, because it wasn't until the middle-aged woman mentioned it that he thought that he had signed up, and if nothing happened to him, he should be fighting on the front line now.
"Madam boss, do you have any pen and paper?" Dolin asked.
"I'll get it for you." The middle-aged woman turned around and walked to the counter, taking all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Dolin started writing a letter, folded it and put it on the table. Then he reached into his arms and took out a hundred taels of silver and pressed it on the letter.
"I have something to ask of you. Send this letter to the Imperial Capital for me. I changed my mind temporarily and plan to go to the front line and kill a few bastards to enjoy myself."
"We will send the letter for you, but we don't want the money. I just ask that you go to the front line and see my husband and son-in-law and help me take care of them."
