no soul

Lin Hong turned his head suddenly, the boy was still standing behind him and looking at him, without expression, just staring.

He forced himself to be calm, waved to the boy, and walked back into the room.

Until the moment the door closed, the boy was still looking at him.

"My God..." Lin Hong was depressed, and sat down at the table to drink water to calm down.

Duan Yu was so angry that he wrapped himself in a quilt and turned his face towards the wall. Hearing Lin Hong's exclamation, he turned to look at him slightly, and wanted to ask "what's the matter", but felt that he was angry and couldn't ask, so he continued to turn back to face the wall , to give Lin Hong a back view.

"Are you so? Didn't you just say that you are short?" Lin Hong bit his glass and looked at the "worm" on the bed.

Duan Yu: "Don't listen! Don't speak!"

"Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing, you are an 'indomitable' giant." Lin Hong thought it was funny.

Duan Yu: "Hmph!"

Lin Hong looked at the tea in the cup filled with white light.

What was that boy doing in their closet?What is the meaning of hide and seek?And the white shadow came to attack them the day he hid in the closet, is there any connection between the two?

Lin Hong couldn't figure it out.

Duan Yu was wrapped in a quilt and was angry, but fell asleep in a daze, with gentle breathing.

The three of them barely slept last night. After Lin Hong calmed down his fear of the little boy, he also started to feel sleepy. He lay on the bed with all his clothes on and fell into a dream after a few breaths.

When I woke up again, it was already dusk.

Duan Yu is still asleep.

Lin Hong woke up, and he was going to discuss the boy with Wan Guchuan.

He looked at the jar of unfinished spirits from the previous day - it was too boring to drink alone, he hardly drank much.

He decided to bring this wine, and drink some while discussing with Wan Guchuan, to relieve boredom.

Once you have decided, act immediately. Lin Hong is already standing in front of Wan Guchuan's gate, and he raised his hand and knocked twice.

"dong dong"

After waiting for a while, no one came to answer.

Knocked twice, still no response.

Is this... something wrong?

Lin Hong's heart tightened, and he pushed the door open and went in.

In front of the window, Wan Guchuan leaned on the easy chair with his back to him.

The breeze pours into the house, warm and soft, the window sash creaks and trembles slightly, the sun shines outside the window, the sky and the earth are orange, tired birds are singing, and the clouds are flat for thousands of miles (Note 1).

Lin Hong put the wine jar on the table, walked over, tilted his head to look at him—Yuan was leaning on the chair and fell asleep.

From above, his nose bridge is straight, his hair, eyebrows and thick eyelashes are all black, the warm sunlight outside the window reflects on his sharp-edged face, the lines soften and look a bit gentle.

Lin Hong looked away and looked at the open window directly opposite.

Sleeping against the window in such a strong wind is not afraid of catching a cold.

Lin Hong wanted to wake him up, but changed his mind after seeing him for a while, took off his thin coat and put it on him, hooked a stool with his feet and sat next to him, and looked out the window with his head on his hands.

The breeze is blowing, which is really pleasant.

Wan Guchuan had a dream.

That year, he was five years old.

That day, the scorching sun hung high in the sky, and the green grass was spread for thousands of miles, trying to reach the sky. Giant clouds piled up behind the mountain, turbulent, like a pure white iron wall and copper wall, which cut off Beidi's eagerness to see through.

He hugged the horse's neck and bumped up and down as the horse galloped. The breeze was blowing on his face, and he couldn't open his eyes.

A pair of iron arms that could turn the tide were firmly guarding his side.Little Wan Guchuan felt that even if the world turned upside down, he would never fall off his horse.

"My son." The man sitting behind him called him in a low voice, "What are your ambitions?"

Little Wan Guchuan struggled to open his eyes in the wind, looking ahead as if he could never reach the end.

The green hills are continuous and the world is vast.

He likes the freedom of riding a horse freely in the boundless world.

Putting his hand on the wooden sword behind his waist, he said: "I want to be a knight-errant, free and unrestrained, galloping around the world, and helping justice." The little child took his ideals seriously, and his The fundus of the eyes is yearning and firm.

The man behind was silent for a long time, and sighed softly:

"My son. A chivalrous man, you can be safe, but you can't save the world."

Little Wan Guchuan seemed to understand, but he knew that his father meant not to support him, and he didn't understand.

He turned his head to look, the tall man was against the light, so he couldn't see clearly, but he still saw the sadness in his father's eyes, which made him uncomfortable.

On the high cliff, Wan Yuting motioned him to look down.

The grassland is thousands of miles away, but the mighty army seems to be wider than this grassland, sweeping the world like a huge wave.

The continuous armor is shining under the scorching sun, the iron hat and red tassels are hotter than the scorching sun, and the sound of horseshoes is louder and more powerful than the drums of war!

The falcon mediates and spreads its giant wings to cut through the sky.

Thrilling.

"A man's belonging is the battlefield."

Little Wan Guchuan's eyes only reflected the surging white clouds in the distance.

He was 17 years old that year.

That day, the thick clouds were about to fall, and the sky and the earth were blood-colored.

The sound of weapons colliding intertwined with blood was sharp and cold, even if a glacier crashed in an extremely cold place, the sound would not be as loud as it shook the sky!

The oblivious Huben shouted hoarsely, blood spattered from his throat, all the people shouted in unison, so that all the ghosts in the fire of Abi did not dare to cry again.

The sword is like a hungry ghost.

Even heavy armor is brave.

In the raging sea and raging waves, there is no room for a moment's rest.

Howling and blood choked in his throat, and his teeth could crush iron blades.

There is a tiger in the heart, and even the gall is bland and tasteless.

The blood is endless, the long sword is not willing to lie down, the broken palm supports the blood-drinking black mud, and he can fight again when he stands up.

As long as the military flag is still fluttering in the wind, even if you break your arms and legs, you can still support the heavy armor on your body, and you can still support the sky above your head that is about to fall.

The blood is the alliance, and the nine days are the evidence.

The blood is thick and needs to nourish every inch of wasteland in this country.

With strong bones, every gap in the border wall must be filled.

Before Beidi landed, the heroic soul stayed in the sky and refused to leave.

There was a roar in Wan Guchuan's ears, and a fog of blood in front of his eyes. He suddenly swung the halberd in his hand, knocking down a row of enemy troops, and blood splashed!

Both arms have long since lost consciousness, and they are still waving mechanically. The edge of the halberd has long been curled, no different from a stick.

His hands and face were covered with blood, how much of it came from others, and how much from himself.

His nose was also soaked with blood, and even his sense of smell was numb, and the iron armor on his shoulders made him ache.

Swords and swords, limbs and arms are broken, and corpses are everywhere.

Wan Guchuan's eyes were dazzled, his arms were sore, his muscles were twitching uncontrollably, and he couldn't lift his hands down.

In the chaos, a long knife wrapped in blood slashed head-on! !

Wan Guchuan had no strength left.

The sound of the long knife tearing flesh pierced the roar in his ears.

A stream of blood splashed on his face, scorching him sorely.

Wan Guchuan opened his eyes wide, feeling that his surroundings were far away, and his head was covered with a cloth.

Wan Yuting put the heavy armor on his shoulder together, still spitting blood, "My son, I hope you will be a soldier and horse for a lifetime, and protect Chang'an for the first time of the Dazheng Dynasty."

He still had the strength to push Wan Guchuan away, and with a monstrous roar, he turned around and slashed fiercely on the top of the man's head.

There was also a long knife cut on his shoulder where the armor was avoided, and the three-inch wide blade almost completely penetrated into the flesh and blood, dripping with blood.

He rushed into the crowd again, the power of the big knife in his hand was still terrifying.

"Father..." Wan Guchuan didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost in front of him, his eyes were dazzled.

"father!"

"father!!"

……

("Back to the peak!")

Wan Guchuan was still standing in the fog of blood on the battlefield, he couldn't see anything clearly, he couldn't hear anything, he couldn't raise his hands...

("Wan Su Feng!")

He didn't know who ran over and dragged him away. In the dimness, he still stubbornly stared at a vague figure standing in the crowd, so tall that he stood out from the crowd...

He saw figures surrounding that figure...

He saw thousands of lights and swords piercing past...

"Eternal River!"

Wan Guchuan woke up suddenly, and looked into a pair of clear eyes. The contrast with the blood all over the sky just now was too strong, and he was suddenly dazed.

He looked at the handsome and clean face of the person in front of him, but he still couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality.

Lin Hong yelled several times, and was relieved when he saw him wake up, and sat back on his stool, "Have you had a nightmare?"

"Hmm." Wan Guchuan rubbed his eyebrows.

As soon as he raised his hand, the clothes covering his shoulders slid off, Wan Guchuan was slightly startled, he picked it up with his long hand and handed it to Lin Hong, "Thank you."

Lin Hong took it and asked him while wearing it, "What did you dream about?"

"The past." Wan Guchuan looked out the window, his mood calmed down a little.

Lin Hong straightened his collar.The heart said what has he experienced?The past is like a nightmare.

He didn't ask any more.

"Come on, drink some wine to calm the shock." Lin Hong lifted the wine jar and poured a bowl to him.

Wan Guchuan looked down at the wine in the bowl.

Alcohol is prohibited in the military.

He once got drunk behind his father's back, and the incident was exposed, and he received the most severe punishment in the army. After that, he never drank for many years.

"Don't you want to drink?" Lin Hong nodded at him, motioning for him to pick it up.

"It's not safe here, it's better to stay awake," Wan Guchuan said.

Lin Hong persuaded him to drink: "It's not a problem to drink less."

Then indulge once.Wan Guchuan reached out and caught it.

Lin Hong felt emotionally in his heart, and felt that everyone had their own troubles, and life was not easy. For example, he had a batch of goods in the hands of the army, and the owner of the goods was still his father, a giant in the business world. Great Lord.

There are only two roads before him, either to confess to his father that the escort agency belongs to him, or to fight with the army.

This...both are dead end...so sad...

"Hey..." Lin Hong sighed.

Wan Guchuan took a sip of the wine, and the sweetness scalded his throat, which was the taste he hadn't seen for a long time.Hearing Lin Hong sigh, and seeing his frowning, asked him, "What are you sighing for?"

"Tsk, what did you say about the military?" Lin Hong said.

Wan Guchuan looked at him.

"Are you in a hurry?"

Wan Guchuan smiled lightly.

"Enough support?"

Wan Guchuan continued to laugh.

"What's the point of competing with ordinary people's goods?"

"What?" Wan Guchuan put down his wine bowl.

"It's like this, let me tell you." Lin Hong also put down the wine jar, and said without blushing, "I have a friend."

Wan Guchuan: "Yes."

"His father always wants him to take the examination for fame and become an official, but he doesn't want to because he doesn't like officialdom very much." Lin Hong said.

Wan Guchuan listened.

"He wants to be a businessman freely. His family was also in business. After he learned something, he opened an escort agency behind his father's back." Lin Hong said.

Wan Guchuan looked at him.

"It's so hard to die, this time he actually picked up his father's goods. If you say yes, you can take it. If something happened to the goods, it was detained by the military." Lin Hong folded his arms.

"His father is someone who can't afford to be offended in the business world. This is related to the future development of the Escort Bureau."

Lin Hong analyzed, "Everyone knows how difficult it is to get things back from the military, and maybe understandable, but no matter what, the goods that can't be delivered to his father will have more or less influence."

"If he confesses to his father that this is his bodyguard agency, maybe his father will hold his hand high, but he is running the bodyguard agency behind his father's back, and he doesn't want his father to know," Lin Hong looked at Wan Guchuan, "You say what to do?"

Wan Guchuan looked at him and was silent for a while, "Your friend is you, right?"

Lin Hong: "..."

"not me……"

"It's you."

"no……"

"Yes."

"Okay! It's me!" Lin Hong admitted, anyway, Wan Guchuan wouldn't tell his father... would he?This...will it?

Just in case, he added: "Don't tell my dad."

Wan Guchuan smiled, "How should I tell him?"

"That's good." Lin Hong also poured himself a bowl of wine.

"You are also amazing. He wants you to be an official, but you go into business. Aren't you afraid that he will be disappointed?" Wan Guchuan looked out the window.

"Afraid, why not." Lin Hong thought for a while, "Ah no, I'm actually afraid that he will hit me."

Wan Guchuan: "..."

"I'm afraid you still did it." Wan Guchuan closed his eyes halfway, feeling the wind blowing on his face.

"That's right. I said that if I don't become an official, I don't want to be an official. I have to decide for myself, right?"

"You're right." Wan Guchuan opened his eyes and looked sideways at him.I didn't dare to disobey my father's order, but Lin Hong dared - this really should be a matter of my own decision.

Lin Hong had a headache, "No matter what I said, I lost track of it, I have to find a way."

Wan Guchuan looked at the wine in his hand, and the sun was rippling in it, "Just open the box and check it, if there is no problem, I won't make things difficult for you."

"However, the goods are sealed. If you tear them apart, the person opposite will not accept the goods." If the goods were rejected, Lin Hong could not take them back and let his father sell them...

Wan Guchuan thought for a while, and he had the impression that a batch of goods had indeed been withheld, because the person who pledged the goods was very stubborn and refused to let him inspect it.

Now there is movement in Nanban, and the goods of unknown origin are not allowed to be released.

"What are you pretending to be?" Wan Guchuan looked sideways at him.

Lin Hong recalled, "Most of the things my father sent to the auction were porcelain."

"understood."

Lin Hong:?

"You know there's a fart for that."

"Then you should confess to your father."

Lin Hong: "..." Help!

Dezhi 17 years.

General Zhenyuan Wan Yuting died in battle, and his son Wan Guchuan took command, gritting his teeth to guard the dignity of the northernmost part of the country.

With the least military pay, guard the most difficult city until the southern soldiers come to help, turning defeat into victory.

After this victory, Wan Guchuan's army marched northward like a broken bamboo. It took three years to collect the twelve Beidi tribes.

This battle was fierce and unprecedented. It was fought in Ulan in the extreme north, and it was called the Battle of Ulan in history.
