Journey to the Rose

In winter in the north, the days are short and the nights are long.

They have been rushing around during the day, stopping and resting, and now looking at the sky, the sun is about to set.

The setting sun is getting closer and closer to the horizon, and the flying snow in the upper city is gone, replaced by the fire clouds scattered in clusters.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, two sturdy men, Lu Zhenghe and Bo Yang, were walking one after the other. They had broad shoulders and long legs, and their waists were armed. The belts outlined a nice line around their waists, and the military boots on their feet reflected the golden light. .Obviously just going to talk, but there is an aura of never returning.

Ruan Xi suddenly felt that war should not exist.

Such a person should ride a horse and drink in the wilderness or in the snow, and should be happy and free and unrestrained, instead of only existing in conquering and being conquered.

Before leaving, Lu Zhenghe pulled Ruan Xi into his arms and asked if he could adjust my neckline, as if I was about to go to the battlefield.

Ruan Xi was speechless, saying you wouldn't care about it yourself!

Lu Zhenghe replied very seriously, that was before, but now it is different, and now I have someone to accompany me.

Ruan Xi could only compromise, and obediently smoothed out the wrinkled neckline of the training uniform for him, then closed it up again, and said, in case there is a big wind and sand at night...

Lu Zhenghe said, I'll block it for you.

Although hearing this sentence made Ruan Xi's heart warm, but he still insisted, saying that I can do it myself!

Now, Lu Zhenghe turned his head from time to time, looked towards Ruan Xi, and then at Wen Kai. When he stopped, Bo Yang behind him also stopped.He stared at Ruan Xi for a while, then turned around and continued walking.

"The young master has already looked down on me..."

Wen Kai rubbed his nose and sighed again and again, "Leaving you to me made him so worried!"

"What is Li Shen looking for from him?" Ruan Xi still wanted to know.

"I didn't ask Li Shen," Wen Kai said frankly, as if he really didn't know anything, "It should be about their airborne team."

"Okay." When he touched an area that Ruan Xi didn't understand, he didn't ask any more questions, and he didn't become suspicious.

Wen Kai said that Lu Zhenghe asked him to take Ruan Xi around the station and drive there, not to go too far.So Wen Kai asked his soldiers to drive over in an off-road vehicle with a raised chassis.

After setting off, the sky was still dark, and the setting sun refused to say goodbye.

Mist shrouded everything, rocks were exposed, and car tires rolled over gravel and kicked up dust.

Seeing such a magnificent and spacious sky, Ruan Xi recalled the Bo Yang he saw just now.

When she opened the curtain of the tent, the distance between herself and Bo Yang was too close. At the first sight, Ruan Xi's eyes fell on Bo Yang's face, and finally locked on Bo Yang's eyes...

Ruan Xi didn't pay attention to whether this person was good-looking or not, and she didn't feel familiar, but saw the eye-catching eyes of the other person, as if quietly emitting a faint light in the dark.

"Of course, many scouts in our northern alliance come from dawn."

"For example, the alpha he likes."

"Do you still remember the alpha that Wen Kai likes?"

"As I said, his night vision is very good."

Wow.

Ruan Xi suddenly thought of what Li Shen had said along the way.

Because Bo Yang doesn't seem to like talking very much, Ruan Xi thinks of Li Shen's "stone incident" again, and feels that all the characteristics are connected.

It's rare to gossip, and Ruan Xi is still a little embarrassed, but after the heart-to-heart talk with Wen Kai last time, the relationship between the two of them has become much closer.

Ruan Xi raised her arm, put it on Wen Kai's shoulder like a good buddy, thought about how to speak, and said in a low voice: "Wen Kai, that Bo Yang just now..."

Smart as Wen Kai, you can understand what's going on just by looking at Ruan Xi's eyes.

He replied very simply: "That's him."

Ruan Xi choked on a mouthful of gossip, "Then..."

Wen Kai really likes people like Ruan Xi who have everything written on their faces, so they don't have to try hard to guess, and said bluntly: "Because alphas generally like omega."

Ruan Xi said: "General, it doesn't mean certain."

"For Boyang and me, performing our duties in the army is more important than being in love..." Wen Kai sighed heavily, and the story was drawn out by the ending, "Our task is to escort you and the young master Go to the top of the snow mountain."

Ruan Xi was silent for a few seconds before replying, "You have to go too."

"Of course," Wen Kai smiled, "I also want to survive."

The gentle wind blows, and the plain comes into view like a still lake.

Ruan Xi stuck her head out of the car and looked out, her eyes full of longing.He was thinking that it would be nice if the days were as calm as they are now.

"I heard that you have a control tower, what about the planes?" Ruan Xi looked around curiously, after all, there is no complete military organization in the south, nor such advanced equipment.

On the entire vast plain in front of you, there are only many wheeled military armored vehicles and some simple tents parked.According to visual estimation, about half a battalion is equipped, and the total number of people does not exceed 300.

Wen Kai pointed to the north direction and said, "The airport and control tower are all over the snow mountain."

Ruan Xi said: "That's right, the swamp here is inconvenient for takeoff and landing."

"Yes."

Wen Kai nodded, and said while driving, "Quaggy City used to be a lake. After years of abnormally heavy rains in the north, the water flow brought here the sediment from the mountains in the north. The sediment deposited in the lake formed a mudflat, and the aquatic plants They began to breed, and over time, swamps were formed. In spring and summer, the swamps are prone to fog and it is not convenient for training. We retreated to Zenith City to defend the city. When the weather turned cold, we brought the army over. .”

"It means that every year you have to travel between the two farthest cities in the north?"

"Yes, but we generally call this 'migration' process 'training'. In the past two years, the young master has personally come to worry about these things. It is these things that make us feel that the power is slowly coming to the young master's hands."

"Power..." Ruan Xi repeated the key words Wen Kai said, frowning: "Who is the army in the first place?"

"At first it was the young master's father, but we all call him 'Mr. Wei'."

In Wen Kai's memory, the man's face was already blurred. "He directed and contributed behind the scenes all year round, and he didn't show up very often. Later, he handed over some power to Wei Hong, who is the young master's elder brother."

"I know, I've seen it."

As Ruan Xi said, thinking of the blazing night in Huocheng, the smell of burnt trees seemed to float on the tip of her nose.

"Four years ago, Wei Hong broke his leg during a skydiving training with Li Shen and the others," Wen Kai said slowly, "So, Mr. Wei gave the power to the young master again. But in Wei Hong's hands There are also some troubles that have not been fully recovered."

Ruan Xi recalled Wei Hong's hoarse voice, and asked, "Where is Wei Hong now? Do you have any news?"

"The helicopter he was on crashed in the city of leg-pull, but he escaped by chance. There were not many remaining subordinates, so he took him for a while. They didn't rest much, and the progress was faster than us. Then, Wei Mister sent a new plane from Zenith to pick him up."

"That……"

Then why didn't you come to pick up Lu Zhenghe?

Seeing through Ruan Xi's doubts, Wen Kai sighed, and continued: "Wei Hong is always the eldest son...and, as you know, the young master was picked up. Although it is said to be his own, after all, we have not been together since childhood. .”

Then it is obvious that what Wen Kai said, Lu Zhenghe's so-called "father", is deliberately targeting Lu Zhenghe in the difference between the treatment of the two sons.

"Before we set off, Li Shen and I simulated what would happen on the road and the possible dangers... The young master has taken care of everything, except that the elders will intervene." Wen Kai became worried.

Moreover, this "intervention" is still partial to the enemy.

Ruan Xi looked at the darkening sky outside the window, the water plants in the swamp were messed up, and her heart was also in a mess.

He thought that Lu Zhenghe had no parents to raise him since he was a child, and he has been raised in a public welfare organization in Ablaze City.He may not have thought about who his parents would favor or intervene in the affairs between the two brothers.It's not that he didn't think carefully enough, it's that he didn't have this cognition in his subconscious.

The marriage is what Mr. Wei pointed out, there is nothing wrong with it.

But he doesn't object to the eldest son's robbing power and people, so the purpose is also obvious, he may just want to keep one son.

What kind of person can sit idly by to this point?Just sit back and do nothing, and still make up for the knife in secret?

Ruan Xi collected herself and realized that everything she said was futile.

"Wei Hong has already arrived at Zenith City ahead of schedule. If he hasn't given up, he might attack us from the northernmost point. At that time, we will be attacked from the front and back, and the situation will become very passive." Wen Kai said, seeing that he was almost done shopping, and turned around. Steering wheel, ready to go back.

Looking forward to the gradually falling night ahead, Ruan said softly, "Are you confident?"

"Yes," Wen Kai put his wrist on the steering wheel, "He is Wei Zheng."

When Ruan Xi heard the name "Wei Zheng", Ruan Xi was still a little unresponsive.

However, he felt that the level of acceptance was much stronger than before.For him now, it doesn't matter whether he is called Lu Zhenghe or Wei Zheng, the important thing is that this person is him.

enough.

·

The night spread slowly between the swamp and the plain.

Li Shen's tent was brightly lit.

"..."

"..."

Lu Zhenghe and Li Shen sat opposite each other by the sand table, looking at each other, neither of them spoke.

After 1 minute, Li Shen inserted the little red flag in his hand heavily into the northernmost hill of Quaggy City on the sand table, shook his head and said, "No, I don't agree."

Lu Zhenghe ignored his little red flag, and clamped another one between his fingers, hovering over the sand table with his fingertips towards the south, decisively placed his little red flag on the border of Peace City.

Afterwards, with a blank face, he got up directly and said, "It's useless if you don't agree, I'll go by myself."

"You can't do this..."

Li Shen regretted it to death.

If he had known that the curse city prophet was going to say such a thing, he would have asked someone to give him some food to send him away!

In the evening, Lu Zhenghe came over, but the long-awaited prophet of curse city didn't say anything, and told Lu Zhenghe very directly that what you were looking for was in the "Dead Sea Scrolls".

"What I'm looking for" is very simple, how to decipher the prophecy that omega will die first.

The "Dead Sea Scrolls" are scrolls that have been spread on land——

It was written in the Prophecy of 26 Cities.

But for thousands of years, the north and the south have been looking for its fragments intermittently, some are useful, some are useless, it is a relatively tasteless legend.

The prophet said that beside the border of Peace City and Quaggy City, there is a dry river bank, and there are ten stone caves on the river bank, and the part that belongs to you is inside.

Lu Zhenghe was overjoyed, but Li Shen's head hurt from hearing it. He really wanted to pick up the prophet's collar and ask, why the fuck didn't you say it earlier? !Everyone has gone to the north, but they are going to the south again?

Lu Zhenghe was arranging his clothes, raised his head slightly, zipped his coat to the top, buttoned it, and said, "I'm just doing what I should do."

Li Shen couldn't help retorting: "Young master, are you going to die? Now everyone in the whole land is going north, but you are good, you want to go south?!"

"I do not know what to do."

Lu Zhenghe suddenly turned around and stared at him seriously, "I can't pretend that this didn't happen."

With a severe headache, suppressing his anger, he gritted his teeth and said, "What if the old man was sent by your brother?"

Lu Zhenghe was silent for a moment, and said calmly: "Then, I can only say that my brother is very good at picking my weaknesses."

The young master of Quaggy·86 is still a lover.
