General Zhang's face was not good. It could be said that he was very tired. There was a layer of black and blue under his eyes, which was just a sign that he had not had a good rest for many days.
He looked Arnold up and down first, then withdrew his gaze and said with a sigh: "Arnuo, Mr. Lu is really..." It was really difficult for him to say the second half of the sentence. He heard that Mr. Lu Xiufu was holding the emperor.
They threw themselves into the sea together, but after all, it was hearsay, and he didn't completely believe it, or maybe he didn't want to believe it.
Arnold knew what General Zhang wanted to ask, and he had already guessed it by looking at the hesitant look on his face. Perhaps it was precisely because there was no hope that he wanted to leave some thoughts for himself. She did
He went to General Zhang's bedside and gently squeezed his father's legs. Those legs must have been very uncomfortable after staying in bed for so many days.
"Forget it, you don't have to say it if you don't want to say it!" General Zhang sighed, but his eyes seemed to dim after this sentence.
"I jumped into the sea..." Arnold's voice was very soft, as if this sentence was too heavy, and she was a little weak when she said it. She glanced at General Zhang secretly, and saw the expression on her father's face.
A look of despair, as if he had aged many years after these words.
She hurriedly reached out to hold her father's hand. The fingertips of her hands that were always holding weapons were covered with thick calluses. "Dad, although it is said that he jumped into the sea, there were many shipwrecks around at the time. It should be...
..." Actually, she wanted to say that there should be a chance to escape, but she knew clearly that Lu Xiufu was determined to die for his country.
General Zhang showed fatigue on his face and raised his hand, "Arnold, please go out. Dad wants to be quiet for a while."
Arnold called out worriedly, "Dad..."
General Zhang looked at her and finally just sighed.
"Dad, this is..." Arnold felt very sad, and it was even more difficult to say this to persuade her father. "This is a change of dynasties, not a day when we, the Han people, are really extinct. Since ancient times, we, the Han people, have indeed become extinct.
He has always been the lord of Jiangnan and other places in the Central Plains, but I have to say that there are still other people who have been the emperors of our Han people. Now the Southern Song Dynasty has been destroyed, and the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty is the leader. But after a hundred years, maybe this country will return again.
In the hands of the Han people, in a few hundred years, another nation will replace the Han people." Arnold held his father's hand tightly, "This is inevitable, dad, it is inevitable."
"Pa" General Zhang suddenly slapped Arnold's hand down, his eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and his shining pupils were full of madness, "Those are ordinary people, your father and I are a general of the Southern Song Dynasty.
In order to protect the country of the Southern Song Dynasty, I will be the soul of the Southern Song Dynasty even if I die."
Arnold was stunned. She looked at her father stiffly. Tears flowed down uncontrollably. Her voice was choked but she couldn't utter a single syllable.
General Zhang suddenly sat up straight and held his hands tightly, "Arnold, I can't be a slave to the subjugation of my country. I don't want to live in this world, and I don't want to live like a dog in this Mongolian yard for the rest of my life."
.”
The words "subjugated slaves" penetrated Arnold's heart like three sharp knives, "No, we are not subjugated slaves, no..." She would never admit that she was Han, but she knew better that hundreds of years later
She knew that sooner or later, the world would still be a world of coexistence. The world in her previous life had been comfortable, and everyone could live in peace, no matter which ethnic group you were.
