Chapter Nine Hundred and Seventy IX One Person's Rivers and Lakes

Although Fang Geque's family repeatedly invited us to stay for dinner, my sister and I decided to refuse, because there were too many people, and there was no need to bother the two old people. In the end, we decided to find a restaurant nearby. I ate a meal in the name of team building, the restaurant tasted good, and it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon after eating.

Return to Suzhou.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the studio, the sky was getting darker and the snow seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.

I rested in the hall for a while, had dinner at six o'clock, and cruised online.

...

"Shua!"

The character appeared in Fanshu City, but he didn't really want to level up, his heart was heavy, as if he could see the appearance of Shiratori's body being pierced by a spear when he closed his eyes, and every time he thought of it, he couldn't help but feel heartache , at the moment when Shiratori became a Valkyrie again, I could no longer treat her as a puppet, it seems... Shiratori has life.

Teleportation, Yanmen Pass.

The place closest to the north is also the most dangerous place in the human territory. It should be closer to Shiratori, right?

I walked up the city wall alone, and sat on a crenellation at the highest point, resting my lazy hands behind my head, listening to the cold wind from the north, and feeling the tranquility of this moment in the game.

Not long after, snowflakes fell in the sky, and it also snowed at Yanmen Pass, and it snowed heavily.

"grown ups!"

Not far from the side, Zhang Lingyue led a group of guards over, knelt down on one knee with fists folded, and said, "My lord, why don't you go to the tent? It's too cold outside, and the wind is chilly."

"fine."

I smiled slightly: "Go and take shelter from the wind and cold, I want to be alone here for a while."

"oh……"

Zhang Lingyue stood up, rubbed his hands that were about to freeze, his mouth was full of heat, and said, "My lord, I hunted some deer in the mountains outside the pass in the afternoon, and Qin Tongzhi is leading people to cook venison soup in the big tent. And the new big pancakes in the kitchen camp are about to be baked, and the Chinese New Year is almost here, my lord...how about a bowl of venison soup?"

"It's New Year's Eve?"

I looked at the snowy scenery outside the Great Wall, and I was a little lost.

"um, yes."

Zhang Lingyue said: "It's about half a month away. During the New Year of the Empire, every household is decorated with lanterns, couplets, and firecrackers. Although we are in the military camp, the gentry from Yanmen County have sent us a lot. Children's goods, couplets, firecrackers, etc., maybe we can also enjoy a little New Year's celebration along with it."

"good."

I nodded and smiled, and asked, "Zhang Lingyue, I want to ask you, in the empire's military system, is there such a thing as a soldier going home to visit relatives on vacation?"

"ah?"

Zhang Lingyue was startled, and couldn't help but wryly smiled and said: "How could there be? The north and south borders of the empire are tens of thousands of miles apart. Take our Liuhuo Legion as an example. We are a frontier army, but the brothers in the team come from all over the world. If we really want them to go home to visit relatives in batches, I'm afraid some of them won't come back until half a year later, and as frontier soldiers, it's simply impossible for us."

I frowned, looked up at the snow falling all over the sky, and said, "It sounds quite desolate."

"My lord, this is nothing."

Zhang Lingyue said with a smile: "From the first day we entered the army, we have already understood our destiny. We either die in the battlefield or live with us for life. Most of us have already bid farewell to our hometown after entering the barracks. It's tight, in the army that fought against the strange demon army, it would be good if three out of ten people can go back. Once they step into the barracks, they will be soldiers of the empire for the rest of their lives. Returning to their hometowns may happen in a dream. "

"Will not."

I shook my head and smiled, and said: "Zhang Lingyue, and everyone on the list, I will do my best so that you can return to your hometown one day. Our Liuhuo Legion will only win every battle, and there will never be a day when you die on the battlefield. If so, I would be the first to die."

"grown ups……"

A group of guards all had red eyes, and they knelt down together with Zhang Lingyue again: "Thank you, my lord!"

"Go and drink your venison soup."

I waved my hand: "I want to be alone for a while, put some more chili in my bowl, and bring me a flatbread, just bring it over."

"Yes, my lord!"

...

It was snowing all over the sky, and in the distance, when I opened the eyes of the ten-direction fire wheel, I could see the demonic energy and demonic energy lingering. In the world belonging to the territory of strange demons, there were strands of blood-red demonic luck rising continuously. Expansion, which shows that the Northern Strange Demon Territory is unlikely to suffer any disastrous defeat in a short period of time. The war between the human race and the Strange Demon Legion must be a protracted dispute.

He sat up, bent his legs and put them on the city bricks, hugged his knees with both hands, and looked at the north with a lonely cloak behind him. After stepping into the Immortal Realm, I began to look at the world in front of me with the eyes of the Immortal Realm, and finally saw the so-called general trend and aura. Although the human race is prosperous, the strange demon territory in the north is also the same. Under the leadership of Zhiying Linhai, the Strange Demon Legion has been attacking cities and territories in the northern border, annihilating those groups that do not obey the rule of the Strange Demon Legion. This process has been going on for a long time.

Between prosperity and decline, it is very likely that the position will be reversed.

After the Strange Demon Legion has wiped out the alien races and dynasties in the north one by one, they can turn around and concentrate on dealing with the Xuanyuan Empire. At that time, I am afraid that our national server players will face even greater pressure. In the previous version of the event At most, we can deal with an army commanded by 2-3 different demon kings, but if 5-8 or even 9 different demon kings are dispatched together to suppress the territory of the Xuanyuan Empire, we can still withstand this kind of army. Horrible stress?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help sighing, full of powerlessness, I glanced back at Yanmen Pass, there was already a little bit of festive atmosphere in the pass, and in the snow curtain, a group of soldiers were busy steaming The steamed buns were sent to the barracks, and there were also people who gathered in twos and threes to chat, talking about the famous generals who made great achievements in battle, and the girls in their hometown who were pretty, aura, and tall. Their words were full of expectations and yearning.

I looked at them indifferently, and my whole body entered into a state of ears and eyes, as if a god was listening to the prayers and blessings of mortals.

"grown ups!"

Not long after, three guards came over, one of them was holding boiling hot broth covered with a food box, the other was holding a few hot pancakes respectfully, and the other was holding a silver coin in both hands. Holding the bottom of the jug with one hand and the ear with the other, he said respectfully: "My lord, the venison soup and noodles are here, and this is a jug of imperial wine brought by Feng Xiang last time. Your Majesty rewarded the warriors of the Liuhuo Legion who fought bravely, and Lord Zhang Lingyue asked me to bring you a pot."

"Understood, thank you!"

I patted the crenellation next to it lightly: "Just put it here!"

"yes!"

After putting it down, the three of them said in unison: "Eat it while it's hot, don't let it get cold."

"Okay, thanks."

After I waved my hand and let the three of them go, I picked up the hot food box. There was indeed a large bowl of venison soup in the soup bowl. A wrist-thick deer leg bone, with pieces of delicious-looking meat attached to it, seems to be a "special offering" given to me by Zhang Lingyue's order. Ordinary soldiers can't eat this part of the meat.

Can't help but smile, the imperial army pays attention to the generals and soldiers sharing the same joys and sorrows. In many legions, the generals and soldiers eat the same food. For example, in the Silver Frost Legion back then, Wang Shuang ate big cakes and drank vegetable soup every day. The Blazing Legion, I have seen with my own eyes the food of Zhenyang Gongguan Yang, which is no different from that of ordinary soldiers.

I was eating here, and I was seen by a large group of fire corps, and I naturally knew that I, the Marquis of Beiliang, was by no means the kind of dandy with rich clothes and good food, and the whole corps would feel at ease.

Looking at the hunger value, it is 22%. No wonder there is a feeling of empty stomach. In the game, it is indeed time for me to eat. What is rare is that today’s food is good, and I don’t need to eat the rough bread sold by the grocery store anymore .

Picking up the venison soup and taking a big sip, I felt warm all over.

Picking up the venison leg, imitating the rough and famous generals described in some military novels, one bite is a big mouthful of meat, chewing big mouthfuls, then holding the big bone stick in one hand, lifting the silver jug ​​on the side with the other hand, opening the spout, and going straight to it. I took a big sip of wine in my mouth, and suddenly a mellow breath spread out in my mouth, it was so refreshing.

Looking at the northern border and feeling the ups and downs of luck in the northern border, I am now very clear. Long, long ago, I was no longer an ordinary player. I played in "Magic Moon" The rivers and lakes in this game are completely different from those of ordinary players, and it is already equivalent to two worlds.

Taking a bite of the broth, and then biting into the noodle cake that has just been baked, it feels like a very enjoyable meal.

Not long after, the broth was finished, the flatbread was gone, and even the silver jug ​​was empty. I patted my stomach, feeling an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. After ordering a servant to clean it up, I sat alone again On the top of Jiecheng, there is such a lonely person looking at the north, looking at this piece of rivers and lakes that belong to me.

...

I don't know how long it took, but when I took a nap, the shoulder armor and hair were covered with a layer of snow, and at this moment, suddenly a spiritual light exploded in my heart, and I instantly sensed a The extremely strong and familiar atmosphere stirred up layers of ripples in the heart lake, and this feeling did not come from the game, but from outside the game!

Outside, there is a situation!

I hurriedly got off the assembly line, took off my helmet and rushed downstairs. Just as I was stepping out of the villa, I looked up and saw a pale golden light with a gorgeous trajectory in the snowy night, like a golden meteorite falling from the sky, straight It fell towards the direction across the street from me!

"Wow!"

Yang Yan flames shot out all over my body, and in the next second, I rushed out like a bolt of lightning.

On the street in the middle of the night, there was only flying snow, no one, and the golden brilliance fell straight down.

"Peng—"

After a loud noise, the paving stones on the ground bloomed and cracked, and then a familiar figure rolled out slowly, and the broken golden armor pieces withered in the heavy snow one after another. She rolled under the violent impact. After tens of meters away, he was just kneeling on the ground, holding a long silver sword in one hand, with long hair hanging in front of his face, his body was crumbling and annihilated inch by inch, and there was a very eye-catching wound on his shoulder , devouring her body.

"Land from……"

She looked up at me, with tears in her beautiful eyes: "I finally found you."
