Chapter 135 Chang'an Sandstorm

The desert is vast and slim and undulating. People suddenly appear so small when they are in it. From a glance, they are full of thick yellow. The wind twitches in the long sand and dances upwards. All things are hazy. The ancient banyan trees that look from a distance are dead branches.

In this vast and crowded place far away from the hustle and bustle, the desert chasm stands like a magical craft of a god, running through the entire empire and dividing the east and west. In the center of the chasm is an ancient city. No matter how wind and sand blow, the tall city walls still guard here like guards. Its body is full of ancient aura. The vicissitudes of time, and the walls that have been destroyed by war are vaguely emitting a terrifying light, like an ancient beast crawling here, which is deterring.

Chang'an, the once-bright and prosperous old capital of the empire, is now an insurmountable heavenly prison.

On the west side of the desert chasm, a unit of dozens of people rode desert horses to approach Chang'an City. When they reached the bottom of the city wall, the leader released a signal flare into the air.

The duty captain of the Immortal Army who was responsible for guarding the city wall looked out, waved his hand back and forth in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Take off the veil."

The cavalry in the front took off the veil that blocked the wind and sand, revealing a face that was still there. When the duty officer saw it, he winked at his companion and said, "It's Hongying, put the person in."

The city gate opened and turned into the only passage across the desert chasm. The gate closed after the cavalry team came in, and Chang'an turned back to the heavenly prison as usual.

The cavalry team was scattered in the city, and they should have their own duties. Hongying went straight to the military camp in the city. After dismounting, she took the honey water handed over by the guards and drank it in big gulps, which finally relieved the throat discomfort caused by dryness.

Chu Fan, who had a vicissitudes of face, walked over with a cane. Under the destruction of time, his spine became even worse. At the age of sixty, he had become older than the ninety-year-old man, and he looked very poor. He coughed and wheezed from time to time. He glanced at the blood-stained cloak on Hongying's body and asked, "Why are there so much blood?"

Hongying drank water on her own and said coldly: "I killed a few bastards who refused to work."

Chu Fan laughed briefly and said slowly: "The Eagle Banner General has become a labor reform rebel. This gap is not something that ordinary people can bear... Cough... Cough cough... Cough cough!!"

Hongying looked sideways at Chu Fan who was coughing in pain, his eyes fell on the red spots of his handkerchief, and frowned and asked, "I see your health getting worse in recent years."

Chu Fan wiped off the bloody phlegm on the corner of his mouth, shook his head with a smile, and said calmly: "I had gastritis in the dungeon for years. Drinking dirty water caused liver cancer. After coming here, the climate was too dry and the lungs were interstitial fibrosis. Anyway, my whole body was full of diseases, and I didn't have a few years to survive."

Hongying always looked down on Chu Fan, thinking that this was a dog following Luo You. Later, when the Undead Army was still alive, Hongying's impression of Chu Fan changed a little. In addition, Chu Fan had known her for more than 30 years, so she asked more: "Can it be cured? The cube should have many special medicines."

"Ha, it can be cured. Who can change the medicine? The cubes of the empire are gone, and the general cannot leave Chang'an for half a step." Chu Fan coughed a few more times, trembling hands and put away his handkerchief. Feng Qingyun said calmly, "Besides, evil diseases are easy to treat, and time is hard to cure. I am almost over the age of time. I have experienced ups and downs, strong winds and waves. The last days should be quieter."
