Hidden Blade Chapter 166: Chengtou Night Talk

() There is still one hour before the shift of Daocheng Gate.

Xu Han woke up early, and the sky was still dark.

Xu Han thought about it a little bit, then practiced the "Xura Jue", and then used the method of "Dayan Sword Art" to run the true energy in his body for a week, and then he left the camp.

His physical cultivation has reached the fourth stage of the Purple Clouds realm, and his internal strength cultivation has also reached the third realm of the three-dimensional realm. The combined power of the two is enough to rival most of the monks in the world.

At his age, it is a great thing to have such a cultivation base. In the world, I am afraid that evildoers such as Mengliang Chen Xuanji can overwhelm him.

But in the face of a battle at the level of Dahuangcheng, Xu Han's cultivation base can't do much.

He is still too weak after all.

Thinking about this, he walked slowly to the head of the city.

There, the elderly Lin Shouzheng and Chu Qiuli stood together and seemed to be talking about something. When Xu Han arrived, the two separated. Chu Qiuli said hello to Xu Han and left in a hurry.

"General Lin and Brother Chu know?" Xu Han stepped forward at that time and asked a little strangely.

"Knowing and knowing, I have had some dealings before." Lin Shou, who had always been serious, said haha, perfunctorily, Xu Han.

When Xu Han saw that he didn't want to go into details, he didn't follow up. He turned his eyes to the military camp in the distance, then turned the subject, and asked, "Is there anything going on in Muji?" /

"When Yuguo was on duty during the day, he saw frequent deployments of troops in the Muji camp, and it seems that more than a hundred thousand troops are stationed..." Talking about this, the old general's brow furrowed deeply.

Xu Han's heart was shocked when he heard the meaning of this statement.

Behind Mu Ji is supported by Cui Ting's 500,000 army. Such a large army...If Mu Ji is ruthless to attack, Dahuang City may not be able to defend it for five days.

"Hey..." The old general seemed to have thought of this too, and he let out a long sigh at that time.

The sadness in the tone, even Xu Han can hear a little bit.

Xu Han only noticed at this time that the man in front of him who was crowned the top guard in the world was so old.

So old that his face is full of dense folds like old trees, so old that his body is always slightly arched inadvertently, as if the rotten spine can no longer support his body.

It's just that he is Lin Shou.

The name of the No. 1 Guardian that day was added to him, so that people always inadvertently forget the fact that he is already very old.

Xu Han remembered some of the auras he had sensed in Lin Shou's body when he had just come to this big yellow city.

He hesitated slightly, and finally asked, "Is there any hidden disease on the general's body?"

This is already a very cryptic statement. The breath that Xu Han felt on Lin Shou that day, the tone said it was a hidden illness, it was more like...death!

He didn't know why he could feel this energy, but Hou Ling, Mr. Lu and others, whose cultivation bases were obviously higher than him, remained unchecked. This peculiar ability could only be attributed to the demon energy in his body, or the demon arm that Cang Hai Liu had planned for him.

Xu Han's problem obviously went beyond Lin Shou's expectation. The old man was stunned at that time, and then smiled bitterly: "I am older than when I was younger..."

This is the first time that Xu Han has felt lifeless in a living person. Obviously, Lin Shou’s problem will not be that his body is not as simple as he used to be when he grows older, but the old general obviously does not want to talk too much on this topic. Naturally, Xu Han is not easy to study.

"The general has hardly closed his eyes in the past few days, so he should take more rest. Some things in this city can also be handed over to the imperial general. I think he works calmly and has the demeanor of an old general." Xu Han said. . These words are somewhat transgressive. After all, how to distribute the power of Dahuangcheng is the family affair of Dahuangcheng after all, but it is a bit untimely for him to be an outsider to intervene.

However, Xu Han's remarks were from his heart, and he didn't read it. In addition, Lin Shou was really tired these few days. It was worrying and warfare to think about it. Seeing an 80-year-old man like this, Xu Han hit his heart. I feel a little intolerable.

But Xu Han's words hit Lin Shou's pain.

The old general sighed again then.

"If my imperial country has half of the master's ability, why does the old man come here?" Lin Shou said meaningfully.

Xu Han was taken aback for a moment, thinking about how he got along with that Lin Yuguo these few days, he was calm and decisive, but he acted a little less decisively and assertively. He wanted to have such a grandfather on his head to stand up to the wind. To cover the rain, he really doesn't have to be as cautious as Xu Han.

Seeing Xu Han's silence, the old general didn't delve into this matter any more, he smiled slightly, and then said: "There is nothing wrong at night, how about the palace lord and the old man?"

Although Lin Shou's invitation came a little bit suddenly, Xu Han did not refuse, and followed Lin Shou to start wandering around the town of Dahuang.

......

The corpses under the tower have been piled up in tens of thousands, densely placed together, looking like a horrible scene of purgatory on earth.

A few days later, many corpse capitals gradually smelled of rotting, but the Muji party did not intend to collect the corpses, and the Dahuangcheng party naturally had no such possibility. At this time of the day, it was a feast for wolves and vultures chasing carrion. The rustling sound accompanied by howling wolves came from outside the city from time to time, which seemed quite infiltrating in the night.

"General, do you think Dahuang City can be defended?" Xu Hanhu, who walked side by side with Lin Shou, asked in a deep voice.

Lin Shou heard that at that time, he glanced sideways at the frowning young man in front of him, and smiled slightly: "Palace Master already has the answer in his heart, why do you even ask me?"

Xu Han was stunned, and couldn't help asking again: "Since things can't be done, why does the general have to..."

Speaking of which, Xu Han hesitated.

Xu Han has seen many people like Lin Shou, such as Canghailiu, Zhong Changhen, and Song Yueming.

But after all, he couldn't understand what it was that drove them to give up their lives and to complete those so-called missions.

Xu Han, who has been a beggar for twelve years, understands that it is very difficult to live.

Then since it is so difficult to live, why bother to die?

"Why stay here and wait for death, right?" Although Xu Han didn't say anything afterwards, with Lin Shou's experience, he could naturally see through his mind at a glance.

Xu Han was silent for a moment. He didn't know whether his question would anger the world-renowned **** general. But he really wanted to know the answer to this question. Lin Shou clearly had many ways in front of him. Either fleeing or descending seemed better than waiting to die here. But why do you have to do something that has no chance of winning even if you sacrifice your life?

But apparently his worries are a bit redundant. Lin Shou stopped his footsteps at that time and looked at Xu Han with deep eyes.

"Does the palace master believe that there will be ghosts after death?" he asked like this.

This question is a bit blunt and abrupt. At least Xu Han couldn't find any connection between this question and their previous topic.

"It's too mysterious, I don't believe it." But Xu Han answered truthfully after hesitating slightly.

Lin Shou didn’t take it seriously, “But the old man believes, the soldiers who followed me back then, among them, there are boys the size of the palace lord, and the old guys as old as Meng Tong. Many of them are Died, died in different places, some were buried together, and some were not even found in the capital."

"But sometimes I feel that they are still there, right by my side."

"It's like..."

At that moment, Lin Shouhu seemed to be a little old, he raised his head and looked at the night sky.

The stars are dazzling and dazzling.

"It's like the stars in the sky, they have been looking at me."

"The enemies they fought with their lives back then, if I surrender them and wait until the day I die, when I reach Huangquan Road, how can I have the face to meet them?"

When Xu Han heard these words~IndoMTL.com~, he fell silent. He didn't know what expression and words he should use to soothe the old man in front of him.

"As for fleeing..." But Lin Shou didn't wait for Xu Han to speak, so he opened his mouth again.

"The world seems big, but sometimes it is pitifully small."

"We ran away, not to mention that no one came to guard this big yellow city, that is, there is, how do they guard and whether they can guard it? All unknown."

"Once the city is broken, Daxia Tieqi enters the Central Plains, and the life of subjugated slaves is not easy."

"People live in this world, whether they are good or bad."

"But the old man thinks that only the life he holds in his hands is his own life. If this is the case, why should he leave his life to someone else?"

Lin Shou said, the smile on his face heavier, he looked straight at Xu Han and asked.

"Palace Master Xu, do you think this is the reason?"
