Chapter 434 (1/2)
Town desolate city, drizzle.
At the time of lunch, a large number of people working outside should go home to rest. But at this time, most of the people out of the city occupied the majority, because they all rushed to the bulletin board to check the latest Nanman war report.
There are even people holding a bowl in one hand and an umbrella in the other hand. They communicate with each other and rush outward from the gate of the city.
In fact, for the people of zhenhuangcheng and Leizhou, the significance of Zhao Yu's expedition to Nanman was far greater than that of the other 35 states, because it was always the children of Leizhou who were fighting against the famine people at the forefront.
The Nanman army has never asked for a soldier from the imperial court of Daxia. All of them are the children of Leizhou. Therefore, once Zhao Yuyong takes charge of Nanman, the young men in Leizhou will have a totally different life. As Zhao Yuyong said, they can pursue, take risks and appreciate the great mountains and rivers of Daxia.
I don't know when, a middle-aged Taoist priest came slowly and leisurely from the gate of the city. He was wearing a very worn-out Taoist shirt and tied it randomly at his waist. A large open neckline revealed some worn-out and broken short shirts inside. He casually made a Taoist bun with a hairpin behind his head, but there was still some mess Bad broken hair with the wind everywhere, extremely depressed, but with a faint sense of dust.
The middle-aged Taoist priest, who was interrogated by the soldiers guarding the city, replied to each other as usual. He did not take an umbrella and stepped directly on the flat rock ground in the city.
As soon as I stepped into the deserted town, I don't know whether it was an illusion. The monks of the zongmen, who were highly cultivated in the city, faintly felt that the whole city had changed a little, and it was hard to explain in a flash.
The drizzling rain in the sky instantly dampened the middle-aged Taoist priest's Taoist clothes, and his hair was also stained with some raindrops. Then the Taoist priest walked a distance into the city, then stopped at the same place, turned around, squinted at the southwest, and seemed to have a picture flash in his eyes.
The broken earth, the vast black fallen trees, the mouth of the canyon erupted fierce cold again, and on such a desolate ground, there lies a huge body wrapped in ice by a blue and black dragon.
It's the valley of giants deep in the jungles of Nanman.
All of a sudden, a gentle call sounded from a distance. The middle-aged Taoist priest's eyes returned to normal in an instant. Then he looked to the direction of the voice. He saw an old lady sitting under the eaves near the gate of the city, waving to him and beckoning him.
With a smile, the middle-aged Taoist priest walked towards the house.
As soon as she walked under the eaves of the house, the old lady's voice of some old reproaches rang out:
”you people who come to town from outside don't inquire first, so you don't even bring an umbrella. It's rainy all the year round in Leizhou. Taoist priest, please wait a moment, and I'll get you an umbrella.”
The old lady got up and walked into the room. However, the middle-aged Taoist priest did not refuse. She raised her hands and saluted:
”thank you so much.”
After a while, the old lady walked out of the house again, holding a large black umbrella in her hand, and handed it to the middle-aged Taoist priest. At the same time, she said:
”in Leizhou, this umbrella is a must-have thing. It has been sunny for several days, but because your Majesty's expedition to Nanman, even heaven is making way.”
After the old lady finished, she opened her mouth and began to laugh, revealing half of her teeth and wrinkles on her face. However, she was very happy. Some time ago, the three young men in black told her that his Majesty was going to fight Nanman forever. She didn't expect that the young emperor's method was so vigorous and direct that he led his troops to kill the jungle.
