Flower feast

?However, no one could have imagined that this continuous mountain rain has been falling for two days and two nights. From Sichuan to Yunnan to Guangxi, thousands of miles were shrouded in boundless storms.

With the continuous influx of rainwater, the water level of Yongjiang River, which is usually mild and quiet, suddenly soared, as if it was rising from the sky, and a hanging river rushed straight down, washing away the bustling and lively Nanning City in the past.The common people fled to higher-lying county towns to shelter from the rain. Although the situation was urgent, Guo Si had no choice but to lead his soldiers to block the flood first.

At this time, he stood in the wind and rain, looking at the accumulated water that had submerged his knees, and urged people to pile up sacks full of sand on the river bank. In the wind and rain, his gray beard was also stained. When the rain fell, he simply dropped his umbrella and followed the soldiers to lift the sandbags.

"General!" Seeing Guo Bang, a soldier at the side hurried forward to take the sandbag, frowned and said, "How can the general do such a dangerous thing, the general should go back and rest quickly!"

"What you can do, of course I can too. Could it be that you think I'm getting old?"

Guo Bang smiled, and picked up a sandbag again, his brows were stained with the rain that kept falling, and the rain ran across the corners of his eyes, like tears flowing out.

Guarding Nanning for a few days, there were already rumors and complaints everywhere, and now it was a natural disaster, Guo Bang knew that if he was still a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor would definitely send people to send relief food and soldiers, instead of defending like this. Waiting outside the city for him to surrender.

He thought that this heavy rain seemed to be a sign of God's will, and he couldn't turn back.

"General." While Guo Bang was meditating, Yunqin's voice came from behind. He was still wearing white clothes, but his trousers were rolled up high, and his two thin legs were struggling to wade in the water. He looked very embarrassed, unlike usual. The way he talks and laughs is completely different.

"What's the matter?" Guo Si turned his head and saw that Yun Qin was really struggling, so he walked towards him.

Yunqin's hair was soaked with water, and it slid down along his forehead and stuck to his face. He smiled embarrassedly, reached out to brush the drooping hair, and said, "My lord, please go."

"I'll come right away." Guo Si put the sandbag on his back on the ground, turned his head and said loudly: "Go ahead."

"General!" Just as Guo Bang was about to go back with Yunqin, an old soldier suddenly called out.The soldier is over fifty, his hair is already gray, but his legs and feet are still strong.

He stepped forward, grabbed Guo Si's hand, and knelt down in the water with a "plop".

"You are..."

"General, I also want to see my lord!"

The soldier raised his head, and a wrinkled face appeared in front of Guo Si. He was not tall, and it was very difficult for him to kneel in the water, as if he would be submerged by the muddy flood.

"What are you doing!"

Guo Si couldn't bear it, he helped the man, and persuaded: "Old Chen, you have been with me for many years, and this time we encountered difficulties, we still need to work hard together."

"So the general still remembers me..." Old Chen wiped away the rain, and said earnestly: "We were born and died with the general, and we could risk our lives for the general, but now it has become like this, and we still haven't seen the appearance of the lord! General! I, Old Chen, can work hard for him, why is he still refusing to come out to see him!"

"Yes!" This wailing cry caused countless soldiers around to respond. They put down their things and gathered around Guo Bang, their voices came and went. Feelings, it's just that Yue Jiuxian has been mysterious and never showed up, which makes them doubtful.

"My lord is a precious person, so why not see each other?" Yunqin replied from the side, persuading: "Everyone is in the army, you should know that military law is like a mountain, and General Guo is a courteous and virtuous corporal who is with you every day. The lord is a nobleman, how can he be like us!"

"It's not that he doesn't meet us, it's just that he wears a mask every time he sees us!" Behind Yunqin, an excited soldier came angrily, with an excited expression on his face, he shouted: "What does this lord look like! Are we restoring the country, or fighting the world for you!"

"Of course we are restoring the country! Are you questioning the identity of the lord!"

"Everyone, stop arguing." Seeing that the soldiers were very angry, and Yunqin couldn't explain it, and had no choice but to show a helpless expression on his face, he turned his head to look at everyone, and said slowly: "If you can trust me, you can Don't argue anymore, if you don't believe me, you can leave on your own, now that the military situation is urgent, I don't want to explain more, everyone has worked hard. I, Guo Bang, am sorry for everyone."

Having said this, Guo Si gently knelt on the ground, he lowered his head, and the heavy armor imprisoned his body like a shackle, pressing him until he couldn't breathe.

"General, we believe in you!"

The soldier surnamed Chen saw Guo Si kneeling in the rain, so he rushed over to help him, and the soldiers around him also couldn't bear it, and knelt down in the rain.

"General, hurry!" As if helpless, the soldier lowered his head slowly, and said in a trembling voice: "It's my fault, I shouldn't make things difficult for the general, general, go quickly."

"Okay." Guo Si turned to look at him, "You all get up too, let's continue, the rain will stop soon..."

However, his voice was so soft that even he himself couldn't hear it clearly. He turned his head, and the rain kept washing his vicissitudes of face. Those wrinkles seemed to be the traces carved by the weight of the years. , maybe he is old too.

Yunqin stood beside Guo Bang, gently held up an umbrella for him, and sighed silently in her heart.

Guo Si raised his head and looked into the distance, Yue Jiuxian was standing on a tall city tower in the distance looking at them, he was still wearing white clothes with wide sleeves, his hair was neatly tied in a high crown, his face was still full of Wearing that gorgeous mask, gold and jewels, cold as ice.

Like a fairy floating in the clouds, he doesn't eat fireworks in the world, just like his face that hasn't changed for many years.
