Jing Er didn't seem to say anything?

No, he said everything.

Even when he explained his last words to Yun Zhonghe, he said everything.

But the echoes before his death and looking out the window before he died further confirmed Yun Zhonghe's guess.

………………………………

Yun Zhonghe withdrew from the last spiritual mark of Jing Er's corpse.

OK, everything has been read and can be cremated.

Yun Zhonghe took the torch, ignited the fire beside him, and then came to Jing Er's firewood pile.

"Lord Jinge City, Father-in-law, thank you for your good wishes." Yun Zhonghe looked at Jinge's old and sad face.

This man was once ambitious and ruthless. He killed all the members of the An family at the wedding and regained the position of the city lord.

But when he was dying, he never thought about any hegemony again. The only one who was worried was his family.

After a last look at Jing Er, Yun Zhonghe lit the pile of firewood.

Suddenly, the entire pile of firewood burned, and Jing Er's body was quickly swallowed by the flames.

Yun Zhonghe came to Wen Daofu's corpse again.

Yun Zhonghe didn't have so much emotion about this person. This is a scholar, a typical scholar-official, who was loyal to the Southern Zhou Empire from beginning to end, and dreamed of returning to the Southern Zhou Empire, gaining fame again, and becoming a county magistrate of the Southern Zhou Empire.

His life was a complete tragedy.

When he was in his twenties, he reached the peak of his life and passed the Jinshi. After that, he has been in hell and looking up at the light.

Yun Zhonghe also lit the pile of firewood under Wen Daofu.

The flames also devour Wen Daofu's body.

Yun Zhonghe returned to the tent, carefully drilled into the quilt, and hugged Jing Zhongyue's soft body.

Jing Zhongyue leaned back, as if she was about to get into Yun Zhonghe's arms.

……………………

The next day!

Yun Zhonghe first came to Chu Zhaoran's tent. He was seriously injured, with several broken ribs and a foot-long wound on his chest.

After this period of treatment, his wounds had begun to heal, but he was still lying on the bed.

When Yun Zhonghe entered, he opened his eyes wide and looked at the roof of the tent.

"Yunjun."

Seeing Yun Zhonghe coming in, Chu Zhaoran was about to struggle to get off the ground.

"Farewell." Yun Zhonghe said, and he found that Chu Zhaoran's eyes were red.

"I can't bear to leave?" Yun Zhonghe asked.

Chu Zhaoran said: "Mr. Yun, do you know? I have been studying with Mr. Wen Daofu since I was a child, so the Lord called me senior brother."

Yun Zhonghe said: "I know that you are not only a proud disciple of Wen Daofu, but in a sense you are also the adopted son of the Lord of Jing'e City. However, the term "adopted son in Liefeng City" is not very nice."

It really doesn't sound good, because Jing E was once the adopted son of the city lord An Daotian, and later became a son-in-law. As a result, Jing E killed An Daotian, killed the entire An clan, and regained the position of the city lord.

Chu Zhaoran said: "You said, why is this?"

Yun Zhonghe said, "Chu Zhaoran, have you ever left the Borderless Land?"

Chu Zhaoran said: "If I had left geographically, but if I had not left psychologically, I was born in a land without absolute land."

Yun Zhonghe said, "That's it. Lord Wen Daofu was a Jinshi of the Southern Zhou Empire. He had seen prosperity and received extremely high glory. Therefore, he could no longer tolerate a land without a border. Whether it is Lifeng City or a land without a border, it is not worthy of his loyalty. He is not a bad person, but he is a very proud and even upright scholar-official, but he is just loyal to the Southern Zhou Empire."

"I know, each one is his master." Chu Zhaoran said.

Yun Zhonghe said: "We have lost the Riven City. The moon will take you to an unknown place. Do you care?"

Chu Zhaoran looked at Yun Zhonghe for a long time and said, "Jun Yun, I am a person who has never seen the world. I don't want Teacher Wen Daofu to be as envious as the world. Have you ever seen a duck?"

Yun Zhonghe said: "I've seen it."

Chu Zhaoran said: "A duck just hatched and when he saw the animal he saw for the first time, he would think it was his mother. Then no matter where the other party went, it would follow wherever it saw it forever, and I was the sad duck."

Yun Zhonghe stepped forward, patted his shoulder gently, and said, "Recover well and everything will be fine."

……………………

Yun Zhonghe came to Leng Bi's tent. Her situation was better because she had only broken ribs at that time.

When she saw Yun Zhonghe, she seemed a little unnatural.

Because when Yun Zhonghe was healing her, she stripped her shirt naked.

"I'm a little scared of you now." Leng Bi said.

Yun Zhonghe said: "Why?"

Leng Bi said: "Because you are too ruthless about things you don't value. The Jing City Lord's Mansion for hundreds of years, you will burn it if you say it's burning. There is also the Riven City, you will burn it even if you say it's burning. Of course, you may say that everything is worth it for victory. Not to mention sacrificing a Riven City, even ten or one hundred are worth it. I understand these principles, but I still feel very uncomfortable."

"This is right." Yun Zhonghe said.

Leng Bi said: "I have no intention of arguing with you. I can't argue with you. You are half of my lord now."

Yun Zhonghe said: "No, you are right. When someone tells you to sacrifice yourself for a great goal, maybe this person is really great and amazing. But usually, it is better to stay away from this person."

Then Yun Zhonghe said, "Recover well."

Leng Bi said: "Chi in the Yunzhonghe, can we still go back to Lifeng City?"

Yun Zhonghe thought for a while and said, "As long as you want, you should be able to go back in the future."

Then, he walked out of Leng Bi's tent.

At this moment, Leng Bi suddenly said, "Yun Zhonghe, are you saying goodbye to me? What the hell are you doing?"

Yun Zhonghe smiled and said, "You're thinking too much."

……………………………………

Yun Zhonghe walked into the tent in Huamanlou. He was seriously injured and his entire back was split open. Even his internal organs could be seen at that time.

But he recovered well at this time, his wounds had begun to heal, and he was lying on the ground and sleeping soundly.

Yun Zhonghe stepped forward and squatted down.

"Master..." Hua Manlou opened his eyes and was about to sit up.

"Lying down, lying down..." Yun Zhonghe said: "You are so wet on the ground, you are hurt again, why don't you lie on the bed?"

Hua Manlou said, "I told you that you can't sleep without lying on the ground or being down-to-earth."

Yun Zhonghe said: "Don't you care where we are going?"

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "For me, there is no difference wherever I am, right? No matter where I am, it is much better than being an orphan or a beggar when I was a child, and it is much better than catching mice in a stinky ditch."

Yun Zhonghe said: "A lot of Riven City has been burned down, and the city lord's mansion has been completely burned down. Is it heartbreaking?"

"It's okay." Hua Manlou said: "Master, I have something to tell you."

Yun Zhonghe said, "Look at me with your ears."

Hua Manlou said: "Don't own it, you won't lose it."

Yun Zhonghe said: "It makes sense, but it's too negative. It's because of this reason that even if you get promoted, you won't buy a house or ask for a wife. You can go to get a half tael of silver every day?"

Hua Manlou said, "When I was a beggar, I had nothing. After eating the whole meal, the sky was the quilt and the ground was the bed. But at the same time, I seemed to have everything. There were too many things outside of me, so it was not easy to be happy."

Yun Zhonghe said: "It's not easy to be happy if you see it so openly."

Hua Manlou said, "Happiness comes from comparison and from the heart. Desire is endless, and pursuit is endless. And I am more than a hundred times better every day than when I was a beggar, so I am very happy."

Then, Hua Manlou said, "No, Lord, are you here to say goodbye to me? Never do not, Never do it! You are a smart person, but sometimes you really don't think too much. If you are a little more submissive, your life will be much better."

"You're thinking too much." Yun Zhonghe said: "You, since the first time I met you, you have been giving me poisonous chicken soup every day. You can't stay with people like you for too long, otherwise you will become unpromising."

It's true. At that time, Hua Manlou had set his sights on Yun Zhonghe and kept advising him not to tell fortunes and be a beggar with him. Wouldn't it be a pleasure?

"Let's go, you can recover from your injuries." Yun Zhonghe said.

…………………………………………

The seventh day of the 10th month!

Birds fly in thousands of mountains!

It's not because of snow or cold winter.

Instead, an unprecedented army approached Lifeng City and scared away all the birds and beasts.

A total of 210,000 troops.

Besides, it is completely meaningless to say that it is vast and boundless.

In short, the army stretched for dozens of miles, and even the original color of the ground could not be seen clearly wherever it passed.

Dan Tai Mieming originally felt that his army was already elite enough, but when he was placed with the Southern Zhou Empire's army, he knew how big the gap was.

He sighed deeply, it turns out that he can really look at the sky by huddling in a small place.

When it was very close to Lifeng City, the army was not in a hurry at all, because the open space on the south side of the city wall collapsed on a large scale and there was a lot of water accumulation, which was not suitable for the army to pass by.

The coach ordered that the pit be picked and leveled.

More than 100,000 people took action, and this big pit that was several miles across was completely leveled in just two days.

When Dan Tai Mieming saw the ground flat, he felt mixed feelings because there were 80,000 people buried below, of which 30,000 were the main army of his Dan Tai family, and he also completely buried his Dan Tai Mieming's dream of the king.

Looking at the Riven City, it was dead silent and empty.
