Chapter 92 Four Shadows

The rising sun shines on the vibrant world, and the light dispels a little haze. The people who get up early to go to the market basked in the sun and showed a smile. However, this smile quickly disappeared because they were still concerned about the battlefield in the distance. Of course, just as national policies are not very close to them, they actually have no choice. But unfortunately, the most intuitive victim of war is them.

"Old man! I'm late today and the cucumbers have been sold out." A vegetable vendor squatted on the ground with his hands in his cuffs, looking at the old man who came every day and said curiously.

The old man's back was a little bent. Although he had been bent all the time, for some reason, it seemed particularly bent today. The old man raised his head gently, and the darkness in his eyes scared the vegetable vendor.

"What's wrong with you, uncle?" the vegetable vendor said in surprise.

"It's nothing, it's just that I want to go back to my hometown, and I probably won't come back in the future."

"Why? You used to say that there was no one in your hometown?" The vegetable vendor reached out and helped the old man sit on his chair.

The old man sat down slowly, as if he had put down something heavy, and he was piled on a chair. After a moment of silence, he seemed to remember something and smiled: "I didn't want to come to Tiandu City, but that brat said that Tiandu City is prosperous and there are many doctors, so I can get better medical treatment and care here. In order to allow me and the old woman to move here, he became the commander of the sergeant under General Elong's command. Huaguo has benefits for the soldiers, so we moved here. I originally thought that there would be no danger of being a commander in Daxing City. Who knew that this war would be chosen for him."

The vegetable vendor understood as soon as he heard it, and didn't know how to comfort him. He just sighed: "Your family is just a stubborn person, and that Zhou Hao is a playboy. Can the soldiers he chose be reliable? Besides, Chu Jianyi... Although he is behind the general, he has never led the army after all, and in the first battle it was to fight with the powerful army of Dalie Kingdom. There is really no chance of winning, so why bother! It would be great to find a reason to avoid it."

The old man put his hands on his knees, shook his head, and his face felt helpless, "It's true, but... he said... he wanted to fight this battle because no one in the court dared to fight, and he couldn't do such a shrunk..."

The vegetable vendor covered the old man's mouth and looked around nervously. Several vegetable farmers next to him also patrolled around. They nodded to each other when they found that no one eavesdropped. It turned out that they were all listening just now. In fact, it was not only them, but on this street, every topic about this war will attract everyone's attention.

"Old uncle, please be quiet. Those officials are cowardly but don't allow others to say they are cowardly. A few days ago, Aunt Li's son-in-law was caught and beaten to thirty boards. When she came back, her butt was rotten and she was still lying on the bed!"

The old man sighed, but there was a sense of inattention on his face. It seemed that there was no hope in life. The board? Even if he brought a guillotine, the old man could calmly put it on his neck. "Everyone in Tiandu City knew that before the front line had sent back the accurate war report, the emperor began to discuss compensation with the ministers. In the past, he often said that this was a prosperous era. The emperor was a good emperor that was rare in a thousand years. It was fine before. Although we didn't know what he was doing, at least his life was very comfortable. But now, he wanted me to taste the pain of losing his son! What good emperor is he? He is nothing!"

Hiss! The vendors around all gasped, "Old man, you are so desperate, we are still thinking about living, you should think about us too!"

The vegetable vendor was crying but didn't cry. He was really meddling in other people's business. Why did he have to pull him over?

Vegetable vendors looked at each other, why not find some remedies?

"That old man, this war was the Dali Kingdom that took the initiative to invade us. We can't blame the Lord for the blame, right?"

The old man snorted coldly and patted his knees, "If your country is strong, will the enemy dare to invade you? The emperor has been in power for decades, and has been a prosperous name in the past few decades. But even small island countries like Heguo dare to attack you. What qualifications do you have to be a good emperor? For decades, anyone who focuses on doing something will become a master, but the country is getting more and more..."

DuangDuangDuang!

The loud gong suddenly interrupted the old man's words. Everyone looked into the distance in surprise, thinking that the young man in red and black official costumes ran and shouted happily, "Border Pass! Border Pass! General Chu Yu's victory!"

"Border Victory!"

"Border Victory!"

More and more people shouted, more and more portraits were crowded at the palace gates. The simple words contained too many meanings, and the haze that originally shrouded in Tiandu City seemed to have dissipated in these shouts.

The vegetable vendors no longer cared about any stalls. The numbness on their faces gradually dissipated, and they rushed to the palace gate with ecstasy. There was the latest notice posted there, and they squeezed there with hope, their hope, the glory and dignity of a great country.

At this moment, whoever can protect their glory is their savior!

But... no one noticed that when he heard the good news, the old man's eyes were a little cold. After all the vegetable vendors around him left, he stood up and went in the opposite direction. His hunched body gradually straightened. When he turned a corner, he took off his dirty clothes. His beard and white hair were peeling off one by one. A desperate old man became a strong middle-aged man in the blink of an eye!

Squeak!

He pushed open a house and looked around when he entered the door, and closed the door again when he was sure that no one noticed it.

When you enter the yard, you will find that this house is very special. It is empty in its entirety. There is no house, only a huge open space. There is only a pavilion and a large pavilion in the center of the open space. There is only a stone table in the center of the pavilion, and a large round stone table. There are ten stone benches around the stone table.

At this time, three people were sitting around the round table, including men and women, and they were cold and quiet, and their heads were silent.

The middle-aged man entered the pavilion and sat down on any stool, and said, "Chu Yu... actually won!"

"The people of Dali Kingdom are really useless. With such strong troops and armor, they can't defeat the temporary patchwork army, hum!" One of the men cursed and hmmed with their hands on their chests.

Another man reached out and poured himself a cup of tea, "I like the tea in Huaguo very much. It would be better if I didn't make it in, at least the tea garden would not be destroyed."

The only woman smiled slightly but did not mean to be angry. She continued: "There are still some in the palace, I will bring them to you next time."

"Thank you."

The middle-aged man saw that the woman didn't seem to care much except for being surprised, and sighed: "The compatriots of Dali Kingdom once sent a message saying that they would help Hua Kingdom win this battle, and they would be sure to destroy Dali Kingdom."

The woman sighed, "Yes, we all felt it was difficult at that time. This was simply impossible to accomplish. I didn't expect that... Chu Yu could do it."

The middle-aged man looked at the woman deeply, looking confident, "Don't worry, Chu Yu is different from Chu Chan. He will not support the prince in any reforms. At best, he is a bystander who can fight. With him or not, Huaguo will not become strong!"

The woman nodded, "I hope so!"
