ghost city

Fate is such a joke!

He intends to die, but the strong obsession in his heart prevents his soul from entering reincarnation.In a trance, he actually put his soul in the water and turned into a water ghost.

Later, he came to Youwang City and was reused.Soon, he was named a foreign general and held the highest military power.Later, he was assisted by Sima Shang.

The mysterious city lord attached great importance to him, and personally bestowed upon him the Tangxi Sword and the Kunshan Jade.The Tangxi sword is a sharp sword for killing ghosts, and it is invincible on the battlefield.And the jade from Kunshan was fused into his body, which can protect the soul and greatly increase the spiritual power.

It's just that he still doesn't know the appearance of the city lord, let alone know the identity of the city lord.However, none of this matters.

He finally had another chance to resist the tyranny of Qin and recover Wei.

He led the soldiers to fight everywhere, and the ghost armies of Han, Zhao, Yan, Qi and other places were subdued one by one.Every time a country is conquered, he will place a corner of the tiger talisman in the royal tomb according to the order of the city lord.

He couldn't help wondering, why did the city lord do this?Is it just to curb his military power?It seems not so simple.

The army of ghosts in Youwang City is growing day by day, and these wandering ghosts have no peace after death, and cannot enter reincarnation and reincarnate as human beings.He can only be imprisoned in Youwang City for him to drive away.You can only fight day and night, and if you are not careful, you will die on the battlefield and your soul will be scattered.They couldn't go back to their hometown, couldn't see their wives and children, so they could only bury the rest of their lives in Youwang City.As long as the Youwang City exists for a day, they will never be free.

What a terrifying force this is!How much resentment did these soldiers accumulate?The city lord restrained the fate of thousands of soldiers just for his own selfishness.If they get out of control, these wandering ghost troops will cause great disasters, and it will only be the common people who will suffer.Whenever he thought of this, he would shudder.And isn't he using these soldiers to help him restore the country?If the military power falls into Guo Kai's hands one day, he dare not predict what will happen.Although the old thief is cunning, he will definitely not be able to control the army of thousands of ghosts.I'm afraid...

He thought: Once he fulfills his long-cherished wish, he will definitely send the soldiers back to their hometown, into reincarnation, and get rid of the shackles completely!

*************************

But the city lord's assertion still made him unable to let go: you will eventually be burdened by women!

He was amused at first: when he was alive, he worried about Wei Guo day and night, but he never married a wife.Well, it won't happen again in the future.At least not until reunification.How could he be tired of women?He is not a person who cares about his children's personal feelings.

This idea has been rock-solid in my heart until the arrival of that girl.

In my memory, Zi You always had a pale complexion, and her appearance was considered exquisite, but she carried a kind of sickness.He thought Sima Shang just let her live here temporarily.Unexpectedly, she lived here for three years.

That frail girl was always taciturn. Having experienced childhood suffering, she no longer had the bright smile that a cardamom girl should have.He could hardly feel her presence.

Because of "Ten Essentials of Generals", his impression of that girl began to change.She is still young, but she can also talk about the art of war.Although she is a woman, she also has a strong obsession with revenge for the country.

She is no ordinary woman.

However, he also treated her like a younger sister.

The strange emotion surging in her eyes, even though it was implicit and unclear, was captured by him without any omission.But he still treats her like a younger sister, at least he thinks he is.

This emotion continued until that snowy night.

That night, she braved the heavy snow and severe cold to deliver the last volume of "Ten Essentials of Generals".Seeing her red and swollen face from the cold, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

That night, there was heavy snow, and the snow-covered lakeside was extremely beautiful.The girl's light singing seemed to still echo in her ears.

She faltered and said farewell, obviously full of sorrow, but forced a smile.

Looking at the clear eyes, I don't know why, and there is a dull pain in my heart.A sense of emptiness flooded my heart.It seemed that he was about to lose something, but he was helpless and powerless.

Just when his heart was about to loosen, the words of the city lord suddenly sounded in his mind: You will eventually be tired by women!

He suddenly woke up: can't do this!

But it's okay, anyway, she is about to leave Youxuan City, and this strange feeling will be wiped out before it germinates.Since then, the two have had nothing to do with each other.

However, he thought too simply.If that was the case then, fine.Even if we don't see each other again in this life, that's fine.

*************************

The reunion of the two came quickly, just a few days later.Not long after he rushed to Yingdu, he received an urgent order from the city lord.He left Sima Shang to sit in Chudi, and hurried back from the battlefield by himself.

Everything was too hasty, and he was actually wearing moon white silver armor and a sword on his waist, and was called into the Hall of Haunting Souls, the main hall of Youwang City where major events are decided.

He had a bad feeling in his heart.

The city guards put on their armor and held their swords, ready to fight. He and Meng Yao walked into the hall alone, and heard the voice of the city lord behind the heavy curtains.If it is not a major situation, the city lord will never appear, something must have happened!

"Wei Ling, what's the matter with this woman? Didn't you forget the rules of Youwang City?" The voice was casual, but it struck him like a lightning strike, and his brain went blank for an instant, as if being emptied.

He was still holding on to a sliver of luck, hoping it wasn't her!

The hand holding the sword actually leaked cold sweat. When the girl's pale and frightened face came into view, his heart sank into the abyss completely.

Guo Kai was not far away with a half-smile, mysterious, Han Cang in red held the girl's arms, his face was enchanting.

He got it, he got it!

Just how did they find out?He and Sima Shang have been working hard to conceal it, but why were they discovered in the end?

Could it be because she left the Red Thorn Courtyard with him that night?But they didn't encounter any ghost guards or guards along the way.how come......?

The girl's face was still full of panic, and after seeing him, she became even more worried.She just stood there silently, without struggling, wondering what she was thinking.

His mind went blank, and he didn't know how to answer.It turned out that he also had times when he was at a loss.

"My lord, you can give me an explanation." Guo Kai squinted his eyes, stroked his white beard, and said lightly, "What is your intention of hiding a girl in Youwang City? Could it be that this girl has a lot of background?"

He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, his body trembling slightly.The old thief Guo Kai was forcing him.But how would he protect Xiaoyou?In case something happened to her, how would he explain to Sima Shang?

After a long time, he slowly raised his head, looked at the heavy curtains, and said in a shy voice: "This is Ling's fault, I hope the city lord will forgive her. This girl is the daughter of an old friend. Ling was entrusted by others to let her live here temporarily. It is a helpless move. Ling Buri will send her out of the city, hope the city lord will forgive me, and Ling Yuan will bear all the punishments alone."

After speaking, he smiled at the girl, hoping that she would not be surprised.The girl just opened her eyes wide and shook her head anxiously, with a bitter and helpless expression on her face.

"Oh?" A faint voice came from behind the curtain again, "The daughter of the old man?" The city lord repeated, as if thinking, "The daughter of the old man is more important than Youwang City? Wei Ling, how do you make me believe that?" Your loyalty?"

As if a thunder had exploded in his ears, he was shocked: the matter was not a simple matter of violating city regulations.The city lord is testing his loyalty!He has never believed in him, if he does not act according to the will of the city lord, he will be suspected of supporting troops and making trouble!Guo Kai is so poisonous!This is the result he wants.

"My lord, this girl has lived in Youwang City for so long, so she must know something about the affairs of the city. How can she just let her go? If the secret is leaked, no one can afford the consequences. Besides, the city never leaves her. Strangers." The sweet voice of the man in red came, like a poisonous snake crawling through his heart.

"Han Cang!" He finally shouted out of control.My heart was in turmoil, they were threatening Xiaoyou's life and forcing him to rebel!

"My lord!" Looking at his angry face, the assistant general Meng Yao couldn't help worrying.

"How about this. Wei Ling, for the sake of your illustrious military exploits for Youwang City, I will give you a chance to prove your loyalty. If you take this girl's life with your own hands today, I will protect your military power. Nothing else is to blame. Otherwise..." The shabby voice cut down mercilessly like a poisoned blade.

"City Lord!" He felt his heart burst!How did things get to this point?Why did he have to make such a cruel choice?How could he do it?

But if not, he will be charged with treason.Not only will he lose his life, but he will also implicate all the soldiers under his tent.The dream of restoring the country and destroying Qin will come to naught.The old thief Guo Kai must take this opportunity to monopolize the power, and thousands of ghost troops will be enslaved by him. If he loses control...

He can't bear the consequences!

How would he choose! ?

His head was dizzy for a while, his body swayed a few times, and he stabilized himself so that he didn't faint.At that moment, he didn't dare to look at the girl's face.

Meng Yao stepped forward to support him, held his hand tightly, and whispered in his ear: "My lord, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, and focus on the overall situation!"

His heart suddenly shook!Even Meng Yao said so.Is Meng Yao also forcing himself to make a choice?

"Wei Ling, you don't have much time, what are you thinking?" The city lord issued a final reminder, his voice full of impatience.

Only then did he really understand that sentence: You will eventually be tired of women!

If he insists on going his own way, he may not be the only one who is troubled by the woman!

He must make a decision!Taking a deep breath, he clenched the Tangxi sword tightly.

Seeing his reaction, Han Cang pushed the girl forward, and the girl's clear eyes just met his slowly murderous face.

After all, we still have to face this tragic reality.

He finally dared to look into the girl's eyes.What made his heart palpitate was that the panic in those eyes had gradually disappeared, replaced by doubts, disappointment, sadness, and even a touch of irony.

She already understood his choice.

The girl stood in front of him frankly, raised her head proudly, a cold and arrogant smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, there was a touch of sarcasm, but also deep sadness.

He'll never forget that look.Since then, it has been lingering every night, an expression that cannot be forgotten.

Who could have predicted that fate would squeeze them into such a helpless situation?His promise, her expectation, all came to naught.

Without thinking too much, he closed his eyes, and the next step was a sword that was as fast as lightning.

Then, it's all over.

After Xiaoyou's death, according to the regulations of Youwang City, the soul will be thrown into the Necromancer Abyss.He wanted to secretly send someone to retrieve her soul, but he was the first to be snatched away by Sima Shang who learned the news.

After this incident, Sima Shang broke with him completely.After clearing away the remnants of Chu's army, Sima Shang returned to Dai, joined Wang Liao, the leader of Dai's ghost army, and fought against Youwang City without dying!

The girl's memory was suddenly interrupted.How could her soul leave Sima Shang?How did she turn into Yingmei and how did she change her appearance?He has no way of knowing.

Only after three years of nightmares and suffering, she reappeared in front of him.

How did he feel about her now?sorry?Regret?Or something else?

How would he face her?

However, no matter what, she came back after all.
