The fourteen lakes above and below Sewyu Island merge into two rivers, stretching for three thousand miles, forming a vast alluvial plain.
The land on the plain is fertile, with lush vegetation and lush vegetation, and then a huge city rises.
Outside the east gate of the city is a flat grassland, which is used for raising horses, supplying food, setting up camps, training and raising troops.
Gu Que and others landed steadily on the grassland, and immediately attracted the attention of the troops stationed around them. One by one, they stopped and stared, but were scolded by the instructor and continued to practice.
Seeing the fighting in the camp and the troops on the battlefield, Gu Nanfeng couldn't help but get wet in his eyes.
After all, I have been away from home for more than two hundred years, things have changed and people have changed for a long time, but when I return, I have everything on my mind.
After a hundred years of solitude and being trapped in a canyon, he came back and experienced many vicissitudes of life, and finally returned to his peak. Coupled with the passage of time, his state of mind changed, and he completely broke the previous shackles. Although he has not yet reached the throne of God, he has already entered the palace.
Gu Que and the others understood how he felt, so they remained silent and observed quietly along the way. Even Wang Dingtian, Tianyanhu, and Tang Yiyong also kept their mouths shut, not destroying the emotion in Gui Ren's heart.
Guan Yunfei took a deep breath, stopped, turned back to look at Gu Nanfeng, and said in a deep voice: "My dear nephew, the road ahead is clear. If you don't cause trouble, it will be fine. I will leave for now."
Gu Nanfeng cupped his fists and bowed. Looking at Guan Yunfei's figure rushing away, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "My deputy general back then has now become a divine king. How old he is!"
He spoke, and then sighed: "Let's go! There is no card at the city gate, it is only for people to walk in!"
Everyone looked at each other and followed Gu Nanfeng forward.
Perhaps out of nostalgia, perhaps out of fear of being close to home, everyone did not leave quickly.
Stepping on the moist earth, smelling the fragrance of the surrounding soil, the fragrance of grass is mixed in the air, and the tall city stands tall in front of you.
The two sides stretch for dozens of miles, like a dragon lying on the ground, the back of the earth, across the plain, cutting off the line of sight, standing like a giant beast, as majestic as the Tianshan Mountains.
The city lives up to its name. As time goes by, the mottled marks on the walls are hard to hide. There are also carvings of swords, guns, swords and halberds, densely packed with totems, all of which have lost their sharpness under the wash of wind and rain.
Ancient and desolate, majestic and chilling, it also carries the sadness of aging.
As sad as Gu Nanfeng's heart.
His legs felt like lead, and every step he took seemed to be exhausted. The city gate in front of him was wide open, and eight veterans stood on both sides, seeming to be drowsy.
After all, there has been peace for a long time! So the responsibility of defending the city has become boring.
The gun is still a good gun and the weapon is still sharp, but it is a pity that the man is old, has gray hair, smells of alcohol in his mouth, and can't even open his eyes.
Gu Que frowned and couldn't help but sigh that the soldiers guarding the city had no fighting ability. Although they were very powerful and capable of life and death, they were unable to carry out such important tasks.
But Gu Nanfeng stared at one person for a long time, and suddenly said softly: "Boy Nie?"
The voice was so soft that even Gu Que couldn't hear it, but the figure of the soldier who was about to fall asleep while leaning on the spear suddenly shook, and his closed eyes opened instantly, and a cold light burst out in his eyes, sharp.
Like a knife.
In an instant, he changed from a sleepy veteran to a killer with his hands covered in blood!
The murderous intent came out, causing Gu Que and others to shrink their pupils.
As for this man, he frowned, glanced coldly at Gu Que and the others, and said in a deep voice: "Who is shouting?"
Gu Que said calmly: "No one shouted."
Upon hearing this, the man's face became stiff, he fell down again, his eyes became cloudy, and he slowly closed his eyes.
He returned to his previous appearance, while Gu Nanfeng had no expression on his face and just strode forward.
As he walked, his eyes were already red.
Gu Que and the others frowned and followed, but Gu Nanfeng already said softly: "Nie Ping, the hero under my command back then was a general who could defeat a hundred people with one enemy. He was known as the hero who could make a million troops retreat with a spear in his hand."
, now reduced to a mere soldier guarding the city?"
When he said this, he suddenly laughed miserably, looking up to the sky and laughing, but tears were streaming down his face, and he couldn't even straighten his waist.
People around the street were watching, but he didn't care, but Gu Que and others stopped and didn't urge them.
At this moment, there is no rush.
But groups of soldiers suddenly came quickly from the end of the street, searching from house to house. All the major inns, without exception, were already in front of them.
Gu Que narrowed his eyes, his heart moved slightly, and suddenly said: "Suiyu Island has never been in conflict with the world. It has been at peace for many years, so it would never be so heavily guarded. Except for the city gate, there are three foot-long posts and ten-foot pavilions in the city. I'm afraid it's
Something happened."
Rukawazi looked calm and said slowly: "You might as well sit quietly in the inn, drink tea and observe the situation."
"Can."
Gu Que mentioned Gu Nanfeng and said in a deep voice: "It's not the time to feel sad and angry, let's control it for now."
After saying that, everyone sat firmly in the inn, enjoying wine and meat without stopping. Tianyanhu and others were in a hurry. However, the army entered the search, and the bustling hall seemed a bit depressing.
Only drinking.
Not only Gu Nanfeng, but also two or three tables of stubble-faced old men in the corner, holding pots instead of raising glasses, drinking and getting drunk without stopping.
Wang Dingtian couldn't help but said: "What a huge amount! In just a quarter of an hour, these people did two pots each?"
The Sky-Eyed Tiger pursed his lips and said: "Everyone is drunk like an idiot. This is not a huge amount. Is this just drinking it to yourself? I think you will drink yourself to death sooner or later."
Gu Que glanced over there and saw only two tables with about ten people, some were lying down, some were sleeping, and some were still drinking.
His pupils shrank slightly and suddenly said: "Seven reincarnations, eight life tribulations, and a god level, can you drink it to death?"
"Um?"
The Sky-Eyed Tiger's eyes suddenly widened, and he couldn't help but said: "That's okay! The strength of Suiyueyue Island is really strong, and there are masters wherever you go!"
Gu Que squinted his eyes and said: "It's not that there are masters wherever you go, it's just that you meet masters. There are more than ten people with thick calluses on the tiger's mouth, extremely thick forearms and legs. Although they drink alcohol, their waist and abdomen are strong, their backs are broad and their knuckles are thick.
I'm afraid he's a member of the military."
"Of course he is a soldier!"
Gu Nanfeng suddenly spoke up, drank the strong wine in the glass in one gulp, and gasped: "Did you see the bearded man lying on the table, holding a copper pot? This boy's name is Wei Liguo. Back then, a big sword was
He entered and exited the enemy's formation seven times, and the enemy soldiers were killed like fallen leaves by the strong wind, leaving corpses scattered all over the ground, making people frightened by the news. Now, he is a drunkard."
At this point, he started drinking again, pointed at another person and continued: "The man under the table is called Wu Qing, I usually call him Xiao Qingzi. He rides alone with a single gun, stands alone in the wilderness, confronts 30,000 enemy troops, and has no choice.
No one dares to come forward!"
Gu Que's heart sank, this person was the only god among those people.
And Gu Nanfeng said again: "The white-haired old man next to him is called Wei Duan, and he is known as Guijianchou. With three thousand troops, relying on the topography and landforms, he used a lot of clever tricks to hold back a hundred thousand troops for forty days, cut off the enemy's food and grass, and cut off the enemy.
Reinforcements...haha! But if they hear about fighting with Wei Duan, all the famous generals will not dare to go out."
Everyone looked at the figures that fell down one by one. Who would have thought that these people were once powerful heroes who shocked the six islands?
Why are they like this?
Of course it was because the leader, Gu Nanfeng, left.
The dominance of will left, and these people were gradually deposed and buried.
The legend of the hero drinking in the street is indeed a legend.
Gu Nanfeng's whole body was trembling, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth and said: "These are all good men who are brave, good at fighting, and loyal. After all, it's my fault. I was too damn willful, too arrogant, and didn't take the world seriously."
.So they were trapped in the canyon, so they were harmed."
"I'm sorry for them!"
While he was talking, he lay on the table and cried bitterly.
It's just that his appearance has changed, but his voice has changed. Even if someone looks at him sideways, who can recognize him?
The Sky-Eyed Tigers and others also shook their heads and sighed, after all, everything has changed in two hundred years.
"Get away! You don't have eyes for walking!"
A loud shout broke the silence, and a child of sixteen or seventeen years old was kicked several feet away, smashing several tables and chairs, and fell heavily to the ground, with blood pouring from his mouth.
But he gritted his teeth and cheeks, and struggled to stand up without even a hum. His eyes were firm and wolf-like, as if he wanted to eat this man.
Who is this man? He is a soldier who is about to leave. The boiling water on his feet has been soaked in and white smoke is rising.
"Qingshan! Qingshan, are you okay?"
The shopkeeper rushed out and supported the child, with panic and fear in his eyes.
The child's mouth was still bleeding, and Gu Que could tell at a glance that his ribs were broken. He had no martial arts skills or any vitality, but he remained silent.
His back is as straight as a sword!
Gu Que narrowed his eyes and suddenly said softly: "It's a good seedling!"
The arrogant soldier looked at the child coldly and said in a cold voice: "You dare to rush into the uncle at such a young age. Are you afraid that you don't want to live? Looking at you like this, don't you accept it?"
The child was silent, but his eyes became sharper, like an eagle, staring at this person.
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Master Jun! Master Jun, please have mercy. The child is still young and not sensible yet. I'm really sorry for bumping into Master Jun!"
The soldier snorted and couldn't help but said: "I don't think he looks sorry! I remember this store!"
As he spoke, a group of people strode away immediately.
The shopkeeper quickly closed the door, looked at the child when he came back, and gritted his teeth and said: "You, why are you arguing with these beasts!"
The child finally spoke: "A true man, when you stand between heaven and earth, you should be like a pine or a bamboo, unyielding, and would rather break than bend. You should be like dew and lightning, leaving no trace. These are the words left by my grandfather, and I just follow them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sneer came out: "What a beast! What a beast who would rather break than bend!"
The door was suddenly kicked open, and the soldier from before turned back and rushed in with more than a dozen people.
The shopkeeper suddenly changed his color, and just as he was about to speak, the soldier was already furious and said: "Two beasts, one old and one young, I think your words are stronger than my sword!"
The child said loudly: "If my grandfather were alive, how could it be your turn to fart!"
The soldier was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "Your grandfather? Xue Dingjun? That old bastard has been dead for more than two hundred years, and his bones are rotten. Why are you taking it out?"
Gu Nanfeng suddenly crushed the wine glass in his hand. The broken porcelain cut his skin, and blood trickled down. There was no expression on his face.
He just murmured: "Xue Dingjun, during the battle on Taichu Island, I was in the realm of fate, and he was in the realm of reincarnation. Faced with more than ten masters who surrounded and killed him, he helped me block fourteen swords and thirty-three palms, and finally defeated him.
I bailed out. In the end we won, but not even his bones were found."
Tears flowed from his eyes, his voice was extremely hoarse, and he said in a trembling voice: "I, Gu Nanfeng, am worthy of others, but I owe so much to these old comrades, and I can't even protect their descendants."
His body was shaking.
Gu Que looked at the dozen strong men drinking in the corner and saw that although they were drunk, there was already murderous intent in their eyes.
So what if you just have murderous intentions? If you are bullied to such an extent that you don’t dare to take action, what’s the point of living?
Life is like a journey against the odds, and those who are passive will remain passive!
Gu Que slowly picked up the wine glass and took a sip of strong wine. There seemed to be light in his eyes, and suddenly said: "Rather than just wait and see what happens, it's better to say sit back and wait for death."
He smiled softly and said: "I, Gu Que, have never been one to sit back and wait for death. It's time for us to take the initiative regarding the six suspended islands." (To be continued)
