Zi Nu rode his horse and walked slowly and leisurely towards the city gate.
Her posture was brisk and she even had a slight smile on her face.
Knowing what she should do, even if she is about to pay the price of her life, is a happy thing for her.
Wei Tuo was still standing in the dark alley, watching Zi Nu drift away. His expression was still confused, as if he was still digesting the changes that Zi Nu had brought to him.
Revenge and restoration of the country is not a matter for Zi Nu alone. All the survivors of Loulan Country regard it as their lifelong goal and do not hesitate to do so at any cost.
But today, as the only royal princess of Loulan Kingdom and the leader of all the remnants, she let go of everything easily and can freely move between heaven and earth.
But what about him? What about all the survivors? What should they do? Do they still have the motivation to continue on that road with no dawn in sight?
Wei Tuo, who was slightly stout and a seven-foot-tall man, suddenly had tears in his eyes and choked with sobs.
Zi Nu's soul was clean and free, but Yu Tuo's soul seemed to be emptied out in an instant.
The only belief that supported him collapsed. From now on, who will he live for? Who will he fight for?
After standing still in the dark alley for a long time, Wei Tuo suddenly ran forward like crazy.
Zinu is chasing light, he is chasing Zinu, or in other words, he is chasing a trace of faith that refuses to give up.
Zi Nu, who was riding a horse, had already walked out of the city gate. Outside the city was a vast wasteland. Zi Nu took a deep breath, identified the direction, and was about to ride his horse towards the Tubo camp when Wei Tuo's shout came from came from behind.
"How can your Highness abandon me!" Yutuo ran quickly, shouting at the top of his lungs.
Zi Nu glanced behind him and sighed sadly, but the horse underneath him continued to move forward and never stopped for him.
She is not heartless, she just wants to make a clean break with the past.
Yu Tuo was still running tirelessly, but suddenly he tripped over a stone. Yu Tuo's body immediately flew up and fell heavily to the ground. He ignored the yellow sand on his face and mouth, and endured the severe pain as he continued to chase.
Zi Nu suddenly tightened the reins, and the horse stopped helplessly.
Wei Tuo, who was rolling and crawling in a state of embarrassment, finally ran in front of Zi Nu's horse, gasping hard with his mouth wide open. His face and body were covered with yellow sand, and his cheek was also scratched.
Zi Nu sighed: "Weituo, why are you doing this? From the day Loulan destroyed the country, there is no hope of restoring the country. We cannot waste our lives on this hopeless thing from generation to generation, so give up. "
Wei Tuo gasped for a long time and then said: "Give up. Your Highness said to give up, so we will give up."
"Then why are you following me?"
"Wherever Your Highness wishes to go, I am willing to accompany Your Highness there."
Zi Nu shook his head: "What I want to do is my personal matter, and it is very dangerous. I can't involve you."
Wei Tuo lowered his head and was silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled: "Your Highness, you should involve me..."
With his eyes red again, Yutuo choked up and said: "Otherwise, I don't know what to do in this life. The country is ruined and the family is ruined. I...have nowhere to go."
Squatting on the ground, Wei Tuo simply cried like a helpless child.
Zi Nu also shed tears. People without a country and a family are like duckweeds in troubled times, with no place to rely on. They are just a group of orphans in the world. The sky does not support them and the earth does not harvest them. Anyone who leaves midway is a loser.
A skin-cutting pain that won't heal for a long time.
"Your Highness, let me follow you. No matter what you do, I will risk my life for you." Yutuo cried.
Zi Nu silently wiped away her tears and whispered: "I am going to save a person. He is supposed to be our enemy. Are you willing too?"
"Yes! Your Highness must have your reasons for whatever you do."
Zi Nu sniffed, a smile bursting from his tears: "Then, come with me."
Wei Tuo breathed a sigh of relief, got up and jumped a few times with joy, and said: "Your Highness, the rest of the brothers..."
Zi Nu hesitated for a moment and sighed: "Go and ask them. I'll wait for them here. If you want to go with me, then come out of the city to meet them."
Wei Tuo nodded vigorously and was about to turn around and return to the city, but he looked at Zi Nu hesitantly.
Zi Nu saw what he was thinking and smiled sweetly: "I won't leave. I will wait for you here. I won't lie to you."
Wei Tuo said deeply: "Your Highness, we are a family, and we can no longer be separated."
"Go, we will never be separated in this life."

After leaving Qinghai Lake, Li Qinzai and his party continued westward.
Two days later, when I arrived at Dafeichuan, I saw that the war was still going on. There were countless corpses scattered along the way. They were in different forms of death. Some were wearing leather armor, while others were only wearing simple sheepskins. They had different weapons in their hands, including knives and others.
Spears, even farm tools and bare sticks.
Vultures kept circling in the sky, and the corpses everywhere had been eaten by vultures until they were beyond recognition. They looked terrifying and frightening, as if they had fallen into purgatory.
Witnessing the most brutal scene of this war with his own eyes, Li Qinzai frowned more and more, and his expression became more and more uncomfortable.
It's not that he has never experienced war. When the Japanese were destroyed, he was still the commander-in-chief of the army. What kind of death has he not seen?
However, the scene in front of him was much more tragic than when he conquered Japan. No matter how strong his mental quality was, Li Qinzai could not help but turn blue at this moment.
"Fifth Young Master, stop looking, let's hurry up and leave." Liu Asi persuaded in a low voice.
Li Qinzai took a deep breath, and his nose was filled with the smell of death.
"Where did Sun Congdong's troops go?" Li Qinzai asked.
"In the morning, a scout came to report that Sun Congdong led a thousand forbidden troops, less than 200 miles behind us, waiting for orders from the Fifth Young Master at any time."
Li Qinzai hummed and said: "Let them stay far away, not too close, not too far away from us, and display the flags and flags of the envoys of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Even if they are discovered by the Tubo army, it doesn't matter, just say they are the envoys of the Tang Dynasty."
Anyone who dares to stop the ceremonial guard will be shot at randomly."
"yes."
Then Liu Asi said worriedly: "Fifth Young Master, we have now entered the hinterland of Tuyuhun, and this area has been occupied by Tibet. Is it true that they are not following the rules and harming you?"
Li Qinzai snorted and said: "When I didn't follow the rules, they were just fish under my knife. Now it's changed. What's supposed to come will always come. What are you afraid of?"
"I'm not afraid, I'm afraid. What I'm afraid of is that Fifth Young Master is in danger. If something happens to you, the descendants of this villain will never be able to see me."
Li Qinzai smiled and was about to tease him a few words when he suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from ahead.
Liu Asi was stunned. Even as he drew his sword, Old Wei and all his troops also drew their swords one after another, turned their horses' heads to protect Li Qinzai in the middle, and stared at the soldiers and horses in front of them warily.
"Fifth Young Master, the sound of horses' hooves is coming quickly, as if they are charging. I'm afraid the attackers are not good-natured. If there is a conflict after a moment's pause, Fifth Young Master, hurry up and break out from behind, and we will seal their way for you!" Old Wei
