Seventy-seven meeting GL

After the rainstorm ended, a layer of mist like a veil floated on the entire river.

The two sides of the strait are depressed, and the branches and leaves are falling.Ganjiang is still magnificent, but at the moment it looks extraordinarily lonely and desolate.The sky was already bright, the river was flowing calmly, and the violent wind and rain a few hours ago seemed like a bizarre dream.

The soldiers hid in the sheds on the bank and set up a bonfire, sitting together, warming up and roasting the wet clothes.The cooks built the stove as usual, and the soldiers silently wiped the knives and guns on their hands.Even though they all saw the ship sinking on the river, they still maintained an excellent order, revealing a decisive and fearless strength in their calmness.Perhaps it was because the figure on the bank of the river gave each of them a lot of courage.

The exhaled white mist spread in front of his eyes, like a spider web, gradually dissipating and fading away.Lang Yinshi silently stared at the hazy river surface, lost in deep thought.He seemed to have returned to his previous lonely state, always thinking alone.Lan Xi behind him felt sore for this familiar scene.

"My lord, you haven't rested for several days, drink some hot soup and go to sleep for a while." Lan Xi took the simple ginger soup made by the cook and sent it to Lang Yinshi, "You are not well yet, and it rained again , You will fall ill if you continue like this!" Lan Xi persuaded, with gentle concern.

"You have worked so hard for everyone for so long, and you have tried your best, how can you be more demanding on yourself?"

"What's more, didn't you say that you can't lose confidence until the last moment? Maybe the waves extinguished the torches and the boats crossed the river safely? No one can see clearly in the dark. As long as a boat reaches the other side, we will still There is a chance!"

Lang Yinshi didn't make a sound, he really hoped so, but he knew it was just his own wishful thinking.He can wait, but if no ships come back from the river, it will not only mean that the lives of Hu Han, Cai Ting and others are unpredictable, but also mean that they can only fight to the death with Zhongzhou soldiers, which will be the last thing he wants to see.There was no way to retreat along the Ganjiang River. The more than 5000 Yinzi Army and the tens of thousands of Zhongzhou Army confronted each other head-on. With one enemy, the tragedy of this battle can be imagined.And he is also very likely to become a prisoner in Tianlang's power struggle from a general and a prince.

Knowing this, Lang Yinshi's expression was dignified and gloomy, sorrow appeared in his jade-like eyes, and an indescribable sense of heaviness filled his heart.

"Lanxi," after a while, he took a deep breath, facing the empty river, as if he was talking to himself, or telling. "...Sometimes I feel that my life is a bit bitter. It's like a long, never-ending night, like a boat sailing against the current. No matter which direction I work hard, there seems to be no end. Constantly Groping in the dark, I was often afraid and felt scared, but I could only move forward desperately, without giving myself any reason to back down."

"I don't know how long I can hold on, but what I can't let go of the most is this declining Tianlang, those soldiers who are not afraid of hardships and dangers, and the people who still have expectations for this country. I think Rescue them from turmoil, poverty and hardship, and want to give them a peaceful life. However, maybe my personal strength is too weak to support such a grand idea."

Lang Yinshi said thoughtfully, "People lived thousands of years ago, and people will continue to multiply and multiply after thousands of years. What is my life to this vast and long history? It is nothing but There is a lackluster passage in the history books. Should my wish be fulfilled by God’s permission? But even if I understand this, I don’t want to give up. I still want to persist until the last moment, until my hope is shattered The last moment." Lang Yinshi said from the bottom of her heart, her tone was very flat, but she revealed fiery feelings.

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Lanxi.

"Early tomorrow morning, if there are still no returning ships on the river, you and I have already understood the rest of the results. The Zhongzhou Army will arrive soon. At that time, I will send a letter of surrender to Li Sitong. I hope you will be patient." Inform the soldiers and ask for their forgiveness for me."

"My lord!" Hearing Lang Yinshi's request to surrender, Lan Xi was impatient for a moment and couldn't help calling out, "You can't be discouraged! Maybe you can't be perfect even if you try your best, but there is no such thing as Perfect? ​​You said you were walking in the dark, but you lit up the light in Lanxi's heart. Your warmth illuminated the dark night for us people! You have always been the reassurance stone in the hearts of soldiers , is the pride of countless people in Tianlang! My lord, we can think of a way, and there will be a way! We have gone through so many ups and downs, how can we give up at this time?" Lan Xi hated that he did not have Lan Yize's eloquence, and could not Say something more comforting to the prince.

Lang Yinshi smiled wryly and did not explain.Of course he has thought of all the ways, no one knows better than him how difficult it is to choose to give up.

"I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me any more."

Lang Yinshi looked very calm, as if he had accepted the worst fate.After marching for many years, the word "surrender" was far away from him, and it seemed to be a word worthy of resentment, but he made such a choice today, but he was extremely calm.

"The reason why I don't want to participate in government affairs is not because I don't understand the pleasure of standing on the top and overlooking all living beings, but because I understand that the struggle for imperial power will inevitably lead to a life-and-death situation. Since ancient times, how many people who seek imperial power have died? It's The cruelty determines that it will not have the best of both worlds.”

"All along, I don't want to see my close relatives, tearing faces for the sake of interests, fighting each other; I don't want my life to be a victim of the imperial power struggle, so I always try to avoid this whirlpool, tread on thin ice, work conscientiously, and try my best to stay in the Outside of things..." Lang Yinshi clenched her fists tightly, her deep eyes were like flames flickering, her chest heaved violently, as if holding the forbearance of these years in her hands, preventing them from escaping. "But, I still can't escape!"

"Lanxi, if this is my fate, if I am destined to lose, I don't want to make more sacrifices. Winning or losing is between me and Lang Kangzhe, let it be a matter between two people. I I hope you can respect my choice."

Lan Xi listened quietly, her gentle and elegant face was both sad and moved. She didn't understand why the prince was so desperate, and she didn't know whether the sail of hope would appear on the river tomorrow, but she was worried for the prince. Proud and honored to have known such a man.Even if they go to die together, it doesn't matter, along the way, their sisters have been taken care of by the prince, and they are lucky for three lives.

The next day, Ganjiang was calm and shy like a bride about to get married. The sun was shining brightly, the river was empty, and the river was flowing slowly.It was noon, and the ship that had agreed to come back was still nowhere to be seen.Crossing the river seems to have become a mirror image.

The cry of crows on the shore awakened Lang Yinshi's slightly numb senses, and the cold weather stung her forehead, making her fully understand that they really had nowhere to go.

"If General Hu and the others successfully cross the river, there will be ships returning tomorrow morning. If no ships return tomorrow, what should we do?" A young soldier asked her this way the night before.

Lang Yinshi couldn't answer this question, she couldn't even look directly into the eyes of the soldier expecting the answer.How could she have the heart to tell these soldiers who lived and died with her that she could no longer lead them to dominate the world?

"Report--!" At this moment, an orderly jumped off the galloping horse and came to report panting.

"General, the Zhongzhou Army entered the blocking zone last night. General Lu led his troops to defend the fortress. They fought for several hours and suffered heavy casualties. They are almost overwhelmed!"

"Where is he now?" Lang Yinshi frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"General Lu said that he will try his best to hold the stronghold to ensure the general's safety across the river, so he still insists on guarding!"

"Nonsense!" Lang Yinshi scolded, "What's the value of this desperate effort? Is this the art of war he learned?! Order Lu Yuan to come back immediately!"

"Yes!" The orderly retreated in response, and galloped away on horseback.

Lang Yinshi stroked his forehead that was suffering from headache, took a deep breath, turned around and returned to the tent.

Now that the Zhongzhou soldiers have fought with Lu Yuan, they will soon reach the river bank.If it is fast, maybe they can be intercepted at Cangshan Ferry tonight.

He took out his black scale armor from his carry-on luggage. The armor carved with the black bird pattern was chilling to the bones, with a hidden dim light, which was only after the blood was infected, and there was nothing to say. The cold and murderous look.

He hadn't worn this familiar armor for two years, and unexpectedly, after going around, he returned to the original starting point.Lang Yinshi took out the various parts of the black scale armor one by one, and slowly put them on for himself, tightening each belt as he had done countless times.

"General?!" Lan Xi saw it from the side, and hurried forward to help tidy it up while dissuading her.

"What are you doing? Your injury has not healed, how can you put on this blunt armor? I'm afraid it will be more difficult for you to move if you wear it!" Lan Xi said anxiously, but he could not, under Lang Yinshi's request, Obediently hand over the helmet hidden behind him.

"Lanxi," Lang Yinshi looked calm and smiled at her, "I am a general, no matter whether the battle is successful or not, I can face it with the best face. What's more, I was going to negotiate with Li Sitong, but I was rejected If you are captured, you have to look good!" Lang Yinshi half-jokingly said.

Lan Xi was taken aback when she heard the words, her eyes turned red instantly, "This joke is not funny at all." Her face darkened, revealing a rare sullen expression. "Like Lan Yize, you are bothersome!" She said, and got out of the tent with a dull head.

This is the first time that Lan Xi has spoken to herself so unceremoniously, but Lang Yinshi couldn't get angry at all. She looked at the helmet in her hand, sighed, and gently stroked the clear line on the helmet. scratches.

——That was left by Mo Ziyou.

"Will you say the same thing as me, You'er?" Lang Yinshi asked in awe.

She shook her head, smiled wryly, and shook off her love for children from the bottom of her heart.As soon as she raised her hand, the cold helmet covered her young and handsome face.

The author has something to say:

Who can tell me, has the painting style of this chapter changed?

... The author thinks that if there is a slight change, it is a good thing.Without despair, how can there be hope?

After the next chapter is finished, the timeline will change rapidly, and the plot will come to the official final part. I hope it will be easier to write by then.

After all, these chapters are really tangled.
