Chapter 861 The old people do not exist, the old scene is no longer
This was originally the capital of Shu Kingdom.
At first, Chen Zhiyun set foot in the capital and controlled the city. Later, Deng Yin's army moved in until now.
During this period, there was inevitably some turmoil in the capital of Shu Kingdom.
Some people try to retake the capital.
Some people try to preserve their power.
Some people have turmoil due to various things.
Some of them are because the soldiers of Liang State were too arrogant and domineering, which caused public anger.
Liang State annexed Shu State and took over its vast territory. Something similar to this is found everywhere.
But now, it has been a rest.
"Mr. Wen..." The guards beside him hesitated.
"Just follow me behind me, I'll walk around." Mr. Wen waved his hand, not caring much.
"This..." The guard smiled bitterly and did not dare to answer.
"This city is already a city in Liang State. If it is not the capital of Shu State, is it possible that I will walk in the territory of Liang State? What dangers are there?" Mr. Wen turned his head and said, "More than half of you are people who have cultivated internal strength. They are highly capable and can pounce on you and follow me three or five feet behind me."
More than a dozen guards looked at each other and looked at each other.
Mr. Wen turned his head and ignored it again, just moved forward.
More than ten guards dared not stay too far away, but were only within three feet and followed closely.
...
The noisy streets.
Lively atmosphere.
After the panic of Liang's army entering the city at the beginning, the city finally returned to its former grand occasion after being comforted by Liang's Kingdom.
Mr. Wen walked across the street, looked at the decorations on both sides, the pedestrians back and forth, and the walking cars and horses, and suddenly felt a sense of anxiety.
It's different.
The streets are different.
The pedestrians are different.
Carriages, horses, clothes, decorations, customs and customs have all changed a lot from that time.
This is almost a strange city.
He walked past the palace, and the inside was already vacant, and the treasures were being transported to the capital of Liang Kingdom, where various palace buildings about the symbol of the emperor were being demolished.
The symbol of the royal family of Shu is falling.
Mr. Wen's expression remained unchanged and walked along the capital.
He walked past Jiang Bojian's mansion and paused.
General Jiang's mansion has been taken over by the white army, and the door of the mansion is closed.
He took a deep look and a scene appeared in his heart.
There are generals practicing martial arts at home, there are wives cooking delicious food, and there are children jumping and playing.
The family of three is in a happy mood.
"Is this the life I lived in back then?"
Mr. Wen thought about this and couldn't help but sigh.
He knew that Jiang Bojian was dead and that Mrs. Jiang had committed suicide. As for the young master of the Jiang family, his nephew, he still disappeared.
When I think about it carefully, that nephew has never met him since he was born.
Even if you meet on the street, you can't recognize each other.
“It’s all like this.”
Mr. Wen raised his head slightly, walked through the former site of Ge's family, and passed through the ruins of the Wen family.
All are gone!
Everything in the past is buried in the dust!
Now, even the Shu Kingdom he fought for has collapsed.
"I left home and returned home for a young age, but my hometown accent has not changed."
Mr. Wen exhaled, with a self-deprecating look.
His old friend.
His relatives.
The people and things he is familiar with, everything he has seen, are gone.
Even the Shu Kingdom was destroyed.
In my hometown, there are no more familiar scenery in the past.
There is no longer a familiar person in my hometown.
This place was like a completely unfamiliar place to him.
This is where he once fought for.
For this, he did whatever he could do.
For this reason, he did not care about good or evil.
For this, he did everything.
But in the end, it ended up in vain.
On the day when Shu Kingdom was destroyed, he thought about why his plan was still defeated?
Is Chen Zhiyun's white-clothed army so powerful?
Is Jiang Bojian too unbearable?
Is it because of the consequences of Hu Hao's evil deeds that he underestimated?
Or is it because I ignored the fragility of the superior Shu Emperor? Due to my status, I dare not think about the emperor's supremeness, so Ignore the fact that this Shu Emperor is so useless?
"Wen's actions in his life were rarely made mistakes, and he was called "without any plans, and he could accept them calmly."
Mr. Wen said in a low voice: "Over the years, there have been countless things, but as long as Wen is determined to do it and make a plan, he will almost do it. But this time, after decades of layout, I have failed. After thinking about it carefully, I still made too many mistakes and ignored too many places, perhaps in the dark, or in the subtle places, but it seems inconspicuous, but it is actually a fatal key... If I hadn't been too conceited and ignored these, I would not have let Shu Kingdom perish so easily."
He raised his head slightly, showed a very strange look, and asked in his heart: "Is there anyone here on the side of Emperor Liang?"
At this time, there was a voice, and he said calmly: "I have entered the capital."
Mr. Wen whispered: "Then I'll wait."
When the voice fell, he suddenly smiled and said, "You won't save me this time?"
Qingyuan said slowly: "You and I cannot say that you have a deep friendship. I cannot go to save you under the pressure of all the immortals. What's more, you are an ordinary person, and you have birth, old age, sickness and death. Now that you are still half dead, you will die in a few years. Now that Shu has been destroyed, you are conscious of living in the world without any worries or uselessness. You believe that your mission has reached the end, and you have ambition to die and have no intention of survival. You can be considered as a place to die. Thinking about you and I have acquainted you. Tonight I will recite a scripture for you to silently give you a journey."
Mr. Wen was silent for a moment and said, "It's a pity that I can't beat you."
Qingyuan smiled, his voice faded.
Mr. Wen exhaled and said, "Actually, I want to know, you guy is hiding in the darkness, only listening to the sound and not seeing the true appearance. Who is he? What do you look like?"
Qingyuan was silent for a moment, and then said, "You will always meet after you die."
Mr. Wen was stunned for a while.
People die like lamps extinguishing.
Will you always meet after you die?
"You don't understand the situation of the monk, but you will be half of it in the future."
Qingyuan's voice gradually dissipated and he said leisurely: "Goodbye."
...
It became quiet here.
Mr. Wen stood there, standing with his hands behind his back.
But he saw that he was dressed in light white clothes, simple and elegant. Although he had passed his prime, he was still elegant and profound, and unfathomable.
Although he is a literati, he is also convinced.
"Time."
Mr. Wen stood among the ruins of the Wen family back then.
He recalled scenes from childhood.
He recalled his ambitions when he was young.
He remembered countless familiar characters, including parents, siblings, relatives, and so on.
But these people are no longer here.
And Shu Kingdom is no longer the Shu Kingdom he knew.
But he still struggled to support Liang State with all his efforts.
Now, Shu Kingdom has collapsed.
He couldn't help but wonder, if he had come to this strange Shu Kingdom earlier, would he have buried his past and become the prime minister of Liang Kingdom with peace of mind?
