Mo Lin sat at the top of the city, looking at the withered yellow grassland to the north, the cold wind blowing on his face, giving him a chill.
"Old Mo."
Wu Jian walked behind him and shook the wine in his hand.
Mo Lin shook his head slightly, and Wu Jian sat down next to him.
"In war, someone will always die."
Mo Lin was saddened by Gan Xin's death.
The two came from Wanjin Tower, and their friendship was much deeper than the others. Gan Xin's death in the ice field was a huge blow to Mo Lin.
"I know..."
Mo Lin sighed slightly: "Lao Gan died, I am very sad."
Wu Jian didn't know how to comfort him, so he silently raised the wine jar.
"Back then, I followed the old general and fought all the way to Bailang Mountain. One hundred thousand brothers died in the battle, and I was the only one left."
"I didn't know that the young general was still alive at the time. I was like a walking zombie and became a eunuch in the palace..."
Speaking of the past, Wu Jian felt as if he was in a dream.
"You have King Wu and you have made a comeback."
Mo Lin was a little frustrated and said: "I am old and I have reached the damn age..."
Wu Jian was silent...
Gan Xin's death had such a huge impact on Mo Lin.
"Old Wu, sir, we have found the antidote."
Han Ziping ran over happily.
Wu Jian said in surprise: "Really? The young general is back?"
Han Ziping shook his head and said: "No, but I sent a message back, saying that I have found a way to detoxify, and I found it with Zhao Ren."
Wu Jian said happily: "That's great, I guess the Major General will be back soon."
The soldiers in Yuncheng quickly got the news, and everyone was very happy.
...
Bamboo Valley.
Long Chen tied two large cans to the horse, Li Heiniu was preparing dry food and luggage, and Mao San and the others were saying goodbye to their young wives.
Ji Xianxian looked at Long Chen with reluctance in her eyes.
I don't know when I can come back from this trip.
Things were quickly prepared. Long Chen came over, hugged Ji Xianxian, and comforted him: "In the future, it will take at most a month, or even shorter, from the capital to come here. I can come here often."
Ji Xianxian said with red eyes: "Lie me, it would be nice if you can come here once every three years."
Long Chen smiled and said: "If everything goes well, I will build a road made of iron from the capital all the way to here, very quickly."
Long Chen has thought about industrialization very seriously. If industrialization is realized and the railway reaches the vicinity of Zhenna City, transportation will become very convenient.
"Humph, if the road is made of iron, you will drive a carriage made of gold to pick me up, right?"
Ji Xianxian wiped her tears.
"That's okay. I will drive a carriage made of gold when the time comes."
Long Chen hugged Ji Xianxian and smiled.
He wasn't that sad, because Long Chen would be better in the future, and it wasn't a farewell.
"It's getting late, I'm on my way."
Long Chen let go of Ji Xianxian.
"I send you."
Ji Xianxian got on the horse, Long Chen took the five Li Heiniu down the mountain, and Lin Menghan and the other five also followed to see them off.
Of course Ya'er and Xiaoqin followed, and Tian Liang was also waiting at the foot of the mountain.
The five family members of Li Heiniu are still in the Central Plains. They want to go back to pick up their parents and say goodbye to their relatives at the same time.
Of course, if you have relatives who are willing to follow you, you can also settle in Qielan Country.
The people seeing him off were all old acquaintances. Luoyao and Munro had already returned to their tribes.
After leaving Bamboo Valley and walking slowly for three days, the road began to become rough.
"Go back. I'll see you off a thousand miles away, and I'll have to say goodbye eventually. You are the queen of Qilan Kingdom, and you can't be away for too long."
Long Chen stopped, and Ji Xianxian's tears fell down.
"Don't be like this, my queen is very strong."
Long Chen hugged Ji Xianxian and kissed her.
"Must come back."
Ji Xianxian bit her red lips, feeling very sad.
"good."
Long Chen smiled, turned the horse's head and headed northeast.
Li Heiniu waved to Lin Menghan, and Mao San and others followed Long Chen, with the flower god following closely behind Long Chen.
"The big pervert is gone..."
Ya'er cried sadly.
Now that I'm gone, I really don't know when I'll see you again.
Finally, until Ji Xianxian was out of sight, she was still staring blankly at the same spot.
"Madam, go back."
Lin Menghan advised sadly.
"Your man will come back, my man..."
Ji Xianxian sighed and turned back to Qielan City on horseback.
...
Riding his horse, Long Chen looked back to the southwest, only a stretch of ink-colored rolling mountains and rivers remained.
"Pedestrians on the mountain road go in a hurry, but they feel sad at the parting place."
With a slight sigh, Long Chen continued to ride his horse forward.
Mao San said: "Your Excellency, you still can't bear to part with the Queen."
Long Chen smiled and sighed: "I'm not as free and easy as you, I have to go back."
Li Heiniu said: "Yes, the queen here is hard to leave. There are four princesses in Dazhou, as well as General Zhang, General Dugu, and General Bai..."
Long Chen smiled bitterly and said: "Don't imitate me, always be merciful and caring."
Song Yu smiled and said, "We can't learn even if we want to."
Wei Yingju agreed: "That's right, we all want to imitate adults and be merciful, but we don't have the ability."
Long Chen shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be like this."
Several horses drove forward slowly.
In autumn, it rained continuously and the mountain roads were slippery and difficult to walk. It took almost a month of walking before we walked out of the mountains and arrived at Xicheng.
At this time, there were only more than 2,000 people left in Xicheng. Ji Xianxian deliberately stayed here to serve as a transit point for trade with Nanliang.
The person in charge of Xicheng saw Long Chen and hurriedly came out to greet him.
"He Mu, the governor of Xicheng, pays homage to King Wu."
"You're so polite, Xicheng suddenly became a lot quieter."
"Yes, most of them have moved to Qielan City, and the younger one was ordered to stay behind."
Long Chen dismounted, He Mu sent someone to lead the horse, but Li Heiniu stopped him: "Don't touch this, we will do it ourselves."
He Mu immediately asked people to leave.
After arranging accommodation and delivering meals, Long Chen rested in Xicheng.
This journey has been too hard.
Long Chen's room was where Ji Xianxian lived, it was very spacious and luxurious.
Flower God and Long Chen live in the same room.
"You go take a shower. After walking all the way, your clothes are dirty. I'll ask them to make another set for you."
Flora nodded, got up, walked to the tub, and took off her old clothes.
Long Chen turned around to look, and saw that the flower god's skin was as pink as a peach blossom, just like a peach blossom.
The Goddess of Flowers is the God of Flowers...
Long Chen put away his things, got into the bathtub, and hugged the Flower Goddess...
After bathing.
Sitting under the eaves, the food was served and laid out, and the aroma was fragrant.
After picking up a piece of roast duck, Long Chen took a bite and said with emotion: "I haven't tasted such delicious food in many years."
After turning into a half-ghost body, it is difficult to swallow normal food, and he almost only eats dried meat.
The chefs in Zhugu are too poor to make delicious food.
When we arrived at Xicheng, we finally tasted the delicious food.
In fact, the chefs in Xicheng are also mediocre, and Long Chen hasn't been late for a long time.
"Try it, it's good stuff."
Long Chen took a piece of fish and gave it to the Flower God.
After taking a sip, the Flower Goddess showed a hint of joy on his face.
It seems that she likes the food here.
After eating, Long Chen stayed in Xicheng for three days before continuing his journey.
The newly made clothes were delivered, and the Flower Goddess changed into plain clothes and put on a bamboo hat.
The appearance of the flower god is too confusing for all living beings. If it is seen, it will definitely be troublesome.
Of course, Long Chen is not afraid of any trouble. Anyone who dares to covet will be killed.
After leaving Xicheng, He Mu traveled ten miles before returning.
Zhennan City had been abandoned, and Long Chen took a detour back to Heling County. Gongsun Ming and Li Xiannan got the news and rushed out of the city to greet him.
