Chapter 20 The Road

According to outside rumors, the dying King Li was sitting on the bed at this time, looking at the black long sword in his hand and meditating.

On the day Lu Qian left, they took the opportunity to put on a good show, in order to reassure those who stayed behind the scenes.To Meng Changting's surprise, that night, his bodyguard walked into his bedroom with a long sword in his hand.

At that time, the moonlight outside the window was just right, so that even if the lights were not turned on indoors, they could see each other's faces clearly.Lu Qian stood by the bed and brought the sword in his hand to Meng Changting's eyes.

"What's the meaning of this?" Meng Changting sat up hugging the quilt, looking at the burden behind the man, feeling a little strange in his heart.He wants to let him stay, but he clearly knows that letting this person go in matters of military power is the best choice.

Lu Qian seemed to be smiling, but there was a look of nostalgia in his eyes.Seeing that Meng Changting didn't answer it for a long time, he directly put the sword in front of his knee: "This is yours, I will return it to you."

Meng Changting looked down at the sword and did not refuse.Strange to say, when he saw this sword, he felt a little familiar, as if it really belonged to him.But Meng Changting can be sure that he has never seen the same sword since he was a child.

"Its name?" Meng Changting rubbed his fingers on the scabbard, as if he could feel the joyful tremor of the sword, but when he calmed down, there was nothing.Could it be that it was an illusion just now...

Lu Qian was silent for a moment, then said softly, "You can name it." From the moment he handed the Hanzhang to Ah Liu, the sword had already belonged to Ah Liu.

However, the answer Meng Changting gave surprised and delighted Lu Qian.

"Han Zhang. The name of this sword is Han Zhang."

He raised his head and asked Lu Qian with his eyes, but suddenly froze.This was the first time since he saw this man, he saw such obvious joy on that face.

It has been two months now, and the man's smile can still be clearly recalled in his mind.Meng Changting sighed softly, put away the seal in his hand, and looked out the window.The weather is still fine, and the crescent moon in the night sky is as clear as that day.I don't know where that person is now...

A gust of evening wind blew past the tree shadows outside Meng Changting's window, carrying the warmth of spring away, but gradually picked up the cold air on the way, and before reaching the northwest, it was enough to blow through the cotton clothes.

On the desolate Gobi, a long dragon-like team is advancing against the wind and snow, leaving a distorted footprint on the ground.Soldiers in armor followed around the team, pointing their sharp guns at the walking people to prevent anyone from escaping midway.

Silence enveloped the team, and no one spoke.Not just to save energy, but also to cover up the panic in my heart.

Among this group of people, only a few were ordinary people who did not know the truth, and the rest were from military families.Knowing that he was going to die, but had to go to that kind of place because of his status, no one was happy.

But they couldn't escape, because...the people who escaped before were all dead!Those soldiers with weapons seemed to have no emotion, and they would kill anyone who saw them fleeing.As for the vacant quota, someone from the family who escaped from the military household must be found to fill it up.

Countless pressures gathered on these military children, including resentment for their own fate, fear of losing their lives, and worries about their relatives in the clan.

Walking on this road leading to the West Wolf Barracks, only by earning enough military merits can one hope to escape such a tragic fate.

Surrounded by this oppressive atmosphere, the few applicants also saw that something was wrong. There was even a teenager who wet his pants in fright after seeing someone being killed mercilessly.

Someone tried to leave, holding on to the luck of having a different identity, but the moment he turned around, his heart was pierced by a ****.The blood spurted from the hollow filled the pale earth with beauty, and it also represented the passing of a life.

No one collected the body, and the team was still moving forward.And that corpse, which was still steaming, was just thrown away on the snow, and soon it would become food for wild beasts, leaving only bones.

Zhao Quan wrapped himself tightly in the thin cotton coat. Although his body was already sore, he didn't dare to slow down at all, and he didn't even dare to make any big movements.

There was a flood in his hometown three months ago, many people died, and the fields and houses were completely destroyed by the flood.All his family members died in that natural disaster, and he really couldn't survive.When he was in poverty, he heard that he could get a lot of money after serving as a soldier, so he was moved.I have no family, and I am not afraid that becoming a military household will drag down the tribe, so I went to the conscription place to register.

Where he was before, he didn't know the twists and turns of the four major military camps. He just heard from the official who registered that Xilang paid the most money, and the top didn't deduct much, so he agreed immediately.

Wherever you go, you are earning your life, but you can't find a good price for yourself?

In the end, who would have thought that it would be such a terrible place.Not to mention killing the barbarians, it is a question of whether they can survive to go to the West Wolf Barracks.

They have been walking for two months. I heard from the leading official earlier that the journey will take at least three months, and they will go to other places to collect people on the way. The time is really fast.

Shivering again, Zhao Quan took a few breaths of air into his already cold hands.

At that time, he was still thinking about why the official's expression was so strange, and his eyes were as cold as looking at a group of dead people.Now he knows it, but he can't run away.

No one would want to go to such a ghostly place!Thinking of this angrily, Zhao Quan suddenly paused, silently looking at the handsome man in Tsing Yi beside him.

Don't tell me, there are people who really want to go.

Looking at the man's not-so-shabby clothes, Zhao Quan wondered, could this man be tricked into coming here.No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you can't go on.

Lu Qian felt that someone was watching him, but he didn't intend to pay attention to it. He just thought about it, and didn't know whether the food cooked by the cook in the palace would suit Ah Liu's appetite.Although I gave it to Chef Liu, I still feel a little worried.

He will be away for a few years, and Ah Liu must have grown up a lot by then...

At this time, Lu Qian could no longer feel the fluctuation of spiritual energy at all, and he was really like an ordinary mortal, unable to fly into the air, use spells, or shrink forward.

It seems to be back to the time when I was in Jinling Village.

After walking for a long time in the wind and snow, I came across a group of rocks.The leading soldiers finally issued an order to rest, which made these reserve soldiers breathe a sigh of relief.The soldiers quickly set up tents in the windy place, and lit several fires.Added a bit of heat to this cold environment.

These prepared soldiers were also in groups of a few, and they pulled up the tents with good hands and feet, took the pots and stoves that had been divided, scooped up clean snow water, boiled them on the fire, and waited for a while to cook the things in.

Lu Qian sat aside and ate something symbolically.Although the cultivation base is sealed, it is still the body of the Nascent Soul.This place is also different from the special place in the Forbidden Jedi, so Lu Qian doesn't really have to eat three meals a day like ordinary people.

But you still have to look like you should, so as not to arouse suspicion from others.

After everyone around him fell asleep, Lu Qian took out the book in the bag and read it.

"Soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival must be investigated. Therefore, the scriptures use five things..."
