The Second Coming of the Myth: I have obtained the blood of the Candle Dragon

Chapter 91 What is Righteousness
Su Lin counted his merit points. Currently, his merit points have reached 20131 points, not only meeting the minimum requirements for side missions, but also exceeding the limit by more than [-] times.

The side quests can no longer give him any pressure, and now he only needs to consider the follow-up to the main quest and the talent awakening quest.

The content of the talent awakening mission requires you to kill ten rebel generals in the army. This mission was originally very simple, but because of the presence of enemy aliens, this mission became more difficult.

He observed the progress of the mission. The current progress was zero, and he should have killed generals during the strafing today, but it was not included in the calculation.

This means that this task must be broken into the army by oneself, and it is effective to kill the general within the army, and the long-range attack does not count.

"It's a little troublesome..."

Su Lin said silently in his heart, this is his true thought, and it is not a good thing for the other party to run away before he has done his best.

Because he still needs to complete his talent mission, from the perspective of alien development, because his side mission has been completed, he will not be obliterated even if he does not run away from the main mission now.

But he hasn't finished his talent mission. If he fails this mission, it's a trivial matter to be deducted Shanhai coins. The problem is that he will lose his talent awakening qualification.

This description is too vague. Is the book of talent awakening invalid this time, or is he permanently disqualified from awakening his talent?
And since the book of talent awakening has a first chapter, is there a follow-up? It is very likely that a foreigner can awaken multiple talents.

Now I must do a good job at this initial task, otherwise it will greatly affect my subsequent strengthening and development.

So at this time, even Su Lin was a little entangled for a while. He hoped that the rebel army would collapse, and he also hoped that the opponent would still have the strength to fight, so that he could finish the task of awakening his talent before kneeling.

Judging from the fact that he shot and killed generals from a long distance with the merciful Gatling, and the talent awakening task is not counted, I am afraid that once the army breaks up, he will not be counted if he chases up and kills them separately.

"Senior Brother Su, you are too strong. There is no chance for us to show off."

Xiao Tuan'er came over and said, her pretty face was puffy, like a child who hasn't been able to play interesting games.

"You will have a chance to perform. They will not be defeated so easily. This battle has just begun."

Su Lin said.

He had studied at Kunlun College, and his assessment of task difficulty in the Shanhai game was relatively accurate and reliable.

In other words, as a Shanhai game with a God's perspective, knowing what props and equipment he has on him, judging that their main mission is difficult and certain to death.

This means that there is a strong obstacle to their completion of the task, and even in some cases they will be a dead end.

After several fights, Su Lin could probably estimate that the three surviving aliens of the enemy were all powerful, and they were definitely not aliens who had just changed jobs.

In terms of comprehensive attributes, richness of means, and combat experience, they all beat the aliens on their side.

If it wasn't for the rare space ability of low-level aliens, he would not be a match for those three aliens at all.

The skill of Dimensional Exile, Su Lin didn't realize it was a stupid skill until he entered the academy to learn more about aliens.

In the case that the opponent has no countermeasures, he is equivalent to having a low-cost absolute control skill, which is immune to attacks for 20 seconds when used on himself.

His maneuvering ability is top-notch, coupled with various krypton gold props, it is enough to pose a threat to most aliens below level 15.

But it is difficult at higher levels, because the attributes are too different, the opponent's reaction and speed are very high, there are ways to dodge, or find a way to kill yourself.

The equipment in the Shanhai game has usage restrictions, so Su Lin can only use some rare equipment that meets his own usage requirements to improve himself. There are many props but there is no limit.

He exchanged a lot of human-level life-saving props, and some lethal props, which are mainly used to target powerful individuals, and they are all used when he is prepared to have to.

It would not be a loss if it was used on the three aliens of the enemy, but Su Lin is not a person who spends money willfully if he has money.

In the face of opponents who are hopeful to be resolved within the scope of his combat ability, he will give himself a chance to exercise, so as to prevent his lack of combat literacy when encountering stronger enemies.

Furthermore, the holders of human-level lethal props are mostly aliens in the 16-20 level range. The lethality of props at this stage may not be able to instantly kill lower-rank aliens.

Props are dead, but people are alive. The key depends on how to use them. If the props are not used well, it is possible for them to be avoided or not have the maximum effect.

Su Lin summed up and analyzed it now. The problem he focused on was that he was obviously very strong, including all kinds of krypton gold props. Why is the difficulty of the main task so difficult that he must die?
Isn't their biggest enemy the five aliens from the rebel camp?
"Still... the Buddhist magic weapon is so powerful that it scares those traitors and thieves from coming out. I don't know how many soldiers they will run away tonight."

Liu Gai came over and his tone was quite emotional. He originally wanted to say machine cannon, but he remembered Su Lin's words and followed Su Lin's instructions.

"It is Suiyang's good fortune and the Tang Dynasty's good fortune to have the help of a virtuous brother."

Zhang Xun also said with emotion that his eyes were really opened today. He didn't expect that there is such a magical weapon that can surrender the enemy from a distance of eight or nine miles.

"Brother, you are welcome. They should not attack the city again today. You can let the brothers continue to rest."

Su Lin replied, let alone today, if the opponent cannot find a way to restore morale, they will not even think about attacking the city in the next two days.

The rebel soldiers had been terrified by the merciful Gatling. Thinking differently, if he was the soldier on the opposite side, he would not charge now even if the warlord's knife was on his neck.

"I have been fighting for so many years, but I have never felt so satisfied with winning. Happy, happy!"

Nan Jiyun walked over and said with a big smile. It could be seen that this bold man was in a good mood.

He looked at Su Lin and cupped his hands, "As expected of the disciples of the Immortal Clan, their methods are extraordinary. If you beat them with that magic weapon for half a day, you will definitely wipe out the rebels!"

"Brother Nan, you are being polite. Bai is just relying on the treasure bestowed by his master, and he does not dare to take credit for it. And this magic weapon has a service life. It will take more than ten seconds at most, which is just a chance to shoot."

Su Lin explained that he kept some bullets for the next time to deter the enemy army, and it can be regarded as a kind of reserve insurance.

In fact, if the enemy is really frightened, it doesn't matter whether their machine guns can be used or not.

Everyone gathered on the east wall, and after some discussion, everyone was in a happy mood for today's battle, and those veterans looked at Su Lin with extreme admiration.

Su Lin glanced at his military reputation, and now it has reached a terrifying number, 4960 (respect).

However, this prestige is a bit false, because there is a special mark behind it.

[Every time the defenders of Suiyang City die in battle, the reputation will be deducted by 1]

It seemed unreasonable, but from the analysis of the prestige mechanism, he understood what was going on.

This reputation column refers to the reputation in the Tang Dynasty army, but if his deeds cannot be spread to the Tang army, then naturally there will be no way to talk about reputation.

If the defenders of Suiyang City die, naturally there will be no soldiers who can tell his deeds in the army, so he must win this battle, and try his best to ensure that the defenders are not dead, so that he can get the perfect reputation rewards.

The morale in Suiyang City was greatly boosted, the soldiers who had been tense and depressed all the year round finally vented their anger, and after eating enough, all the soldiers actually had the mood to chat with each other in the afternoon.

The people in the city were recovering after taking a rest. Many people walked out of their homes and started busy with their work in the city, preparing to help with the next defense of the city.

Everything seemed to be moving in the right direction, but Su Lin had an uneasy feeling in his heart because it was too simple.

It doesn't meet the difficulty of the mainline task to death, but this is not a dungeon that focuses on reasoning, but a dungeon of battlefield combat. What else did he ignore?
Isn't Yin Ziqi's army the most intuitive combat power?Aren't those five strangers the biggest threat?
Lacking clues, Su Lin felt that he couldn't be immersed in the joy of victory and rest comfortably. He decided to visit the rebel camp again tonight to prevent any accidents.

Even if there is an unexpected increase in the difficulty of the dungeon, he must first understand what is going on.

...............

In the rebel camp, there was a wail at this time, the wounded soldiers were bleeding all over the ground, and the troops in charge of medical treatment were also terrified. More than 9 people gathered together in a mess.

Da da da--

The sound of a submachine gun sounded, making the soldiers who were already frightened even more flustered. There were screams everywhere, and the soldiers near the source of the sound ran around.

"quiet!"

The horse hunter holding a submachine gun shouted loudly, and he fired intermittently into the air, which made some soldiers realize that it was not the disaster that slaughtered them before, but that their own family members were holding similar magic weapons.

Yin Ziqi was quite surprised when he saw this scene. The fear in his heart was dispelled by curiosity, and he hurriedly rode his horse to the horse hunter, "Who is this strong man?"

"This thing is just a magic weapon. Su Bai has it, and we also have it. You just need to know that this is not an invincible magic weapon, nor is it a verdict from a god. It’s just the magic weapon you got.”

The horse hunter said loudly, not only explaining to Yin Ziqi, but also explaining to the soldiers.

His voice was heard by the soldiers in the camp. The nearby soldiers saw him firing just now, and now they looked at the horse hunter curiously and in awe.

"Is this thing of the immortal master capable of hurting people from ten miles away?"

Yin Ziqi observed the submachine gun in the horse hunter's hand, and saw that it was also a black tube that could breathe fire and made a sound, so he asked excitedly.

The horse hunter's expression froze, this thing was obtained when they were engaged in criminal activities in the world, and he was also assigned one as a long-range profession, but because of the short range and low precision of long-range strikes, he usually used his own Extraordinary repeating crossbow.

As an ordinary submachine gun, how could this thing have a range comparable to that of a machine gun?
"This object is a middle-level magic weapon. The handle Su Bai got is a high-grade magic weapon, and the range is naturally longer. I took out this thing and explained it to you, just to prevent everyone from falling into the tricks of Su Bai's monster." , he is definitely not a child of the fairy family, let alone a drafter of the destiny, he just happened to get such a powerful magic weapon."

The horse hunter explained and looked at many soldiers, "You are all brave people. It is normal to feel afraid when you first see the means of the monster, but I want to say that the number of times this magic weapon can be used is limited. , then Su Bai stopped the operation of the magic weapon before, and must have reached the upper limit of use, or is about to reach the limit."

He pulled the safety of the submachine gun in his hand and handed it to Yin Ziqi, "General, don't be afraid. If you hire excellent craftsmen, even a mortal can make this magical weapon."

What he said is nonsense. With the productivity and technology of this era, it is impossible to make firearms.

But he still wants to say this, just to pull the guns, such hot weapons, off the altar, and tell everyone that this is not a punishment from the gods, but a magic weapon with limited use, and even ordinary people can make it.

"Everyone, this kind of magic weapon has a long range and great power. It is really a big killer in the battle. Then Su Bai should have used it in a critical moment, but he used it as soon as he came up. He just wanted to scare us. In fact, It's just a sign of his guilty conscience, Suiyang City only has a hundred defenders, if we really get to the bottom of the city and climb to the top of the city, it will take only a moment to break the city!"

Sun Erlang also stood up and said, holding the ax high in his hand, "If we attack the city again, I am willing to be the vanguard!"

The horse hunter also said loudly, "Commander please order, I am also willing to be the pioneer!"

Murong Xin, who had been by Yin Ziqi's side all this time, knew it was time when he saw this, and used the divine power to act on Yin Ziqi, making him glow with a faint golden mist, like a fairy descending to earth.

He pretended to exclaim in surprise: "Suddenly, the general is a man of destiny!"

Several aliens gave the rebels 'popular science' hot weapons, and helped Yin Ziqi put on a show, which really had a little effect.

At least the soldiers in the camp were not as flustered as they were at the beginning, just looking at their expressions, it didn't seem like they had fully believed the aliens' explanations.

The main reason was that the battle in the afternoon was too terrifying, which left a psychological shadow on them.

Even if there is a limit to the use of the magic weapon, but didn't you just say it, maybe it hasn't reached the limit yet?
Doesn't this mean that if the vanguard is sent to attack the city again, the people in the vanguard may still die?

The three of Sun Erlang looked at each other, and they all saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

They knew that despite their efforts to restore the decline, the morale could never be raised again.

"Although the two immortal masters are brave, they suffered a lot of casualties today, so we should recuperate and fight again tomorrow."

Yin Ziqi said, disappointing several strangers.

However, Yin Ziqi's decision was also expected by them. After this stop, Yin Ziqi was also frightened, and he obviously hadn't recovered yet.

Letting him try to attack the city for the second time now is undoubtedly too much for his psychological endurance.

What's more, the soldiers are still in shock at this time, and it is estimated that they will not be able to organize a siege team.

Yin Ziqi assigned the generals to arrange for the soldiers to bury pots and make rice in preparation for an early rest today, while the three strangers found a camp to gather together.

"Fuck, how do you play this? It's the same as whether there is an army or not. Is it possible that we really have to rely on the three of us to attack?"

With anger on his face, Sun Erlang sat down on the pier.

"Now we can't count on the army too much. Although we managed to stabilize the situation today, the soldiers' morale has been lost. They are like frightened birds and have no fighting power at all. We may have to change our thinking to break the city."

Murong Xin said that they were also strange people from the Immortal Family in Yin Ziqi's eyes. He said that he would go to his brothers to discuss countermeasures. Yin Ziqi was not suspicious and only said that he would report to him in the evening after discussing the countermeasures.

"The three of us attacked at night?"

The horse hunter frowned.

"I don't think it's impossible. If we hadn't been so cautious on the first day, and the five of us would have joined forces to attack, we might have won it. I have observed the aliens in the city, and they are not as strong as we imagined."

Sun Erlang said, "Including that kid Su Bai, I'm afraid there isn't even a job changer. I don't know why he has space ability and so many props and equipment, but as long as you can stop him, I can do it alone." Slaughter Suiyang City!"

He wasn't talking big, he didn't gain nothing in the daytime battle today, at least he saw the opponent's strength clearly, and used his investigative skills to scan. Su Bai was basically just a foreigner with a physical attribute of 10 points, and several other strange persons were also Not bad at all.

Considering Su Bai's spatial ability, he decided for the time being that the other party has changed his job, but the other aliens probably haven't changed their job yet, and their attributes are so weak.

Among other things, he is a job changer at level 14, and his profession is a barbarian.

As long as he faced the enemy head-on, he believed that he could tear apart all the aliens facing him with his bare hands.

As for the defenders of Suiyang City, only Nan Jiyun has some skills, but that attribute is just a matter of one punch, if he goes down with an axe from his main weapon, the whole body will not be left for the opponent.

"Brother Sun, don't be impatient. The attribute of the alien on the other side is indeed not that high. We must have a crushing advantage when facing the enemy head-on. But the problem is that Su Bai's space ability is too controllable, and that kind of cutting ability ignores defense. , even if your body is hit to a vital point, you will die instantly."

Murong Xin is relatively calm, he is a think tank alien of the new generation of Tianxiahui, and he feels that Su Bai looks like an old Yinbi at first glance, so he is not so easy to deal with.

Fighting against this kind of space powerhouse with a good brain, I am most afraid of the top. Once impulsive, it is easy to be manipulated and fall into a trap.

He continued: "Besides, Brother Sun, your spirit is not high, so you didn't pay attention. I checked, and Su Lin's mental strength is very high. He must have changed his job, and he also balanced his physical development, so from the level As far as he is concerned, he may not be much different from us, so don't take it lightly."

Generally speaking, in the Shanhai game, Yiren strengthens the three main attributes of the physical body more in the early stage, and the spirit is usually not lowered, just like Sun Erlang's strength is as high as 15 points, and the spirit attribute is only 7 points.

Su Lin's body has 10 main attributes, but his spirit has 12 points. In his opinion, it is definitely an attribute that only job-changers can have.

As a legal professional, he currently only has 13 points in spirit, and 11 points in the main attribute of body, so he judges that Su Bai may be one or two levels lower than himself, about 12 points.

"Then what do you say?"

Sun Erlang said a little impatiently, from last night to now, he has no power at all, but he hasn't been touched by the enemy once, so it can be said that he is full of anger.

"Night attacks are not advisable. Even if Brother Hunter and I go together to stop Su Bai, Brother Sun, you may not be able to clear the place."

Murong Xin said thoughtfully.

"Ah Xin, you still don't trust me?"

Sun Erlang said with some dissatisfaction.

Murong Xin shook his head and said: "Of course I can trust Brother Sun's strength, but our task is very difficult, Su Bai is very strong, and his ability is also very troublesome, but judging from his failure to kill us that night, His abilities are also very limited, and he is not really invincible. As for the many props and equipment, I think he may be the key training object of a large guild."

He analyzed, "So, I think that Su Bai may not be the whole factor in the difficulty of the task. The remaining four aliens on the other side haven't made any moves yet."

The horse hunter's expression turned ugly when he heard this, "Could they be all perverts like Su Bai?"

They are now equivalent to being beaten by leapfrogging. If they are really pushed horizontally by a few low-level aliens, they will really die hard.

You must know that they are not ordinary strangers, each of them has received a high evaluation, and their attributes are considered strong among strangers of the same level.

"That shouldn't be the case, but I always feel like there's still a pitfall..."

Murong Xin looked serious, "Do you still remember the little six we got in the queue? He is also a job changer, level 13. As an assassin class job changer, he is not a fool. Since he chooses to make a move, it means that Zhang Xun either has no guards, or It's just that there is only one other person by Zhang Xun's side, but it turned out that Xiao Liu didn't come back."

"You mean... there are experts on the other side?"

Sun Erlang also understood, if Su Bai made a fuss in their camp that day, then the person who killed Xiao Liu couldn't have been Su Bai.

Murong Xin nodded, "On the other side there are experts who look normal on the surface but have outrageous actual combat power, at least at our level, otherwise Xiao Liu wouldn't be unable to run away."

After hearing Murong Xin's analysis, both Sun Erlang and the horse hunter felt a little heavy.

Originally, he knew that there was a perverted Su Bai with a storage space like Doraemon's pocket, but now he knew that there might be a master of hard power hiding on the opposite side, and suddenly felt that the future of this dungeon was bleak.

"Murong, what do you think we should do next? The army is not reliable, and we can't do it alone. Should we just wait to die?"

asked the horse hunter.

Murong Xin smiled, "Don't worry, it's not the first time I've lined up this type of dungeon, and this kind of dungeon has a hidden feature that may help us turn the tables."

"What hidden feature?"

Sun Erlang asked curiously.

"The converging power of the world line, the correcting power of history."

Murong Xin said with a serious expression.

…………

The wind blew through the yellow sand, taking away the smell of blood on the battlefield.

The setting sun is like blood, especially desolate.

Seeing that there was no more fighting today, the city of Suiyang was also lit up with smoke.

Su Lin walked down the city wall and looked at the place where the rice was made. Jiang Shuiliu was helping several soldiers distribute cooked rice to the people.

Su Lin saw that Er Ma, who was leading him today, had finished his work, squatted under the eaves with a bowl of rice and started eating. There was no food, but the food was delicious.

Su Lin walked over and knelt down beside him, not caring about the dirty old house behind him.

Er Ma thought it was some comrade in arms who came over, and didn't pay much attention, but after picking up two mouthfuls of rice, she saw Su Lin from the corner of her eye, and shivered suddenly.

He stood up and said, "Immortal, Immortal Master!"

He still had rice in his mouth, and he almost spat it out in surprise, but out of love for food, he blocked it with his hand, and then pressed it back.

Su Lin smiled and raised his hand, "Brother, sit down, you eat yours, I just wander around. Besides, my surname is Su, and I may be a few years younger than my brother, so I can't be called a fairy teacher."

But Er Ma sat down a bit cautiously, swallowed the rice in his mouth, and still called Su Lin an immortal master when he spoke.

"Immortal, Immortal Teacher, Nun...Nen can afford it! In my eyes, Nen is a fairy."

Er Ma was a little excited, with adoration in his eyes.

He has been living a hellish life for more than half a year, but after he discovered the fire burning in the rebel camp last night, the world seemed to gradually brighten up.

The handsome immortal teacher in front of them brought them not only food, but also hope.

"Brother Erma, eat first, and then we'll talk when we're full."

Su Lin pointed to the other party's bowl, and no longer corrected the other party's address.

Er Ma seemed to have received an order, so he ate up the bowl of rice without a single grain left, and then asked in a daze, "Have you eaten, Master Immortal?"

Su Lin smiled and said: "I have eaten, but when I came here I saw that Brother Erma had not returned to the city to eat with the soldiers. I was a little confused. Come and have a look."

Erma explained in a flustered manner, "I'm not being lazy, Master Zhang asked me to come down to help, I'm thinking that the brothers probably have enough to eat at the moment, so I'll deal with it here."

Su Lin raised his hand, "I know, Brother Erma is Mr. Zhang's confidant, how could he be lazy, who can be lazy among the soldiers who have been able to stand firm in Suiyang City until now?"

Erma felt a little embarrassed when he was praised, but he was a rough person, and he really didn't know how to thank him, let alone how to greet the immortal master.

There was a silence between the two of them, and they both watched the people who came and went to get food in the city in a daze, until the sun sank further and the light gradually disappeared.

"Master Immortal...I have a question I want to ask you."

Erma still couldn't help but speak, it was the doubt in his heart all along.

"Brother Erma, please tell me."

Su Lin looked at the unextinguished fire in the cooking place not far away, and said slowly.

"I... I have no education, and I have never read a book, but I also know... eating and eating people is the behavior of animals. Mr. Zhang said that if Suiyang City cannot be guarded, the people in the Jianghuai area will be devastated, and our country will be ruined." It's not far from perishing, I... I felt it made sense, and I was really hungry, so I ate it."

Erma's voice became smaller and smaller, and she didn't dare to look at the immortal teacher at all, "Actually, I don't have such high ideals and ambitions, and I don't understand the righteousness of the family and the country, but I just got my wife a few years ago. I also gave birth to a big fat boy, just in the south, I was just thinking that if the thieves pass through Suiyang, they might hit my house..."

He lowered his head, and no one could see the young soldier's expression clearly under the dim light, "I insist on defending the city, but I'm actually just afraid of thieves coming to my house. I don't have the selfless character of Mr. Zhang. People like me... eat If you eat human flesh, you are just extremely hungry, follow the crowd, and do it for your own selfishness...will you go to hell?"

His narration was messy and didn't have much logic, but Su Lin still understood what Er Ma wanted to express.

This young soldier undoubtedly believed in the theory of reincarnation of ghosts and gods. He thought that he had done something against human ethics, and he felt guilty and afraid in his heart, but he was always tense and had no time to think about it. It also made him forget about it when we were together.

But now that he's relieved, he's thinking about what he's done, and he's afraid he's going to hell.

There's nothing funny about it. Just because Erma dares to defend the city fearlessly doesn't mean that he's not afraid of going to hell or 'retribution'

"Brother Zhang ordered the defenders to eat people to satisfy their hunger for the common people, to repay the monarch, and to survive the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He is selfless and does not seek fame or fortune. Do you think he deserves to go to hell?"

Su Lin asked back.

Er Ma said without hesitation: "If Master Zhang is such a hero who is loyal to the emperor, patriotism, and righteous in his heart, he will go to hell, that's really unreasonable."

"Then why do you ask me?"

Su Lin said.

Er Ma looked down, "I... I am different from Mr. Zhang. I was very hungry at the time, and I worked hard to defend the city because I was afraid that thieves would attack my house."

"Brother Zhang defends the city as the country, and Erma, you guard the city as your home. These are all righteousness. Others can distinguish between big and small, but in your own mind, how do you distinguish between big and small?"

Su Lin patted Erma's shoulder, "People's hearts are different in size. Some people can pretend to be the world, but some people can only pretend to be their own home, and keep the land in their hearts. It's my own righteousness."

He stood up and patted the dust, "Let's talk about deeds regardless of your heart, in Bai's heart, you are all heroes who defend Suiyang City, if you call me a fairy teacher, then I will promise you as a fairy teacher, Erma, you won't go to hell."

Erma's shoulders trembled a little, she lowered her head and said nothing, as if she was sobbing.

But Su Lin had gone far away, and just left a last sentence, "Go home and see your wife and children alive."

Back on the top of the city, Su Lin looked at the bright moon and some stars in the sky, and took out a bottle of wine from the storage space. This is a restorative item. Drinking a certain amount can increase the natural recovery rate of soul energy.

"Today is a great victory. The bright moon is high in the sky. How can I, my dear brother, drink wine alone?"

Zhang Xun passed by here and saw Su Lin sitting on the wall drinking, he asked with a smile.

It can be seen that this serious ancient loyal minister is in a rare good mood today.

Su Lin took out another wine glass, filled it and handed it to Zhang Xun.

"You don't drink alcohol in the army, brother Yu can only replace wine with tea, and chat with brother virtuous."

Zhang Xun picked up a kettle and said it was tea, but it was just boiled water.

"This wine is not intoxicating, but it is given by the teacher. Drinking it can strengthen the body, nourish the soul, and refresh the mind."

Su Lin explained and handed it forward again.

What he said is true. As a recovery tool, if it can make people intoxicated, it has certain negative effects. This wine is specially made, it tastes good, and it also tastes like alcohol, but it will not be intoxicating.

"Oh? Xunsheng has been alive for 48 years, but he doesn't want to have the opportunity to taste the immortal wine. It's really an honor."

Zhang Xun didn't refuse any more when he heard the words, he believed that Su Lin would not lie to him.

After the two clinked glasses and drank, Xun Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and his spirit seemed to be relieved. He looked at the bright moon in the sky with a somewhat melancholy expression.

"My virtuous brother once said that brother Yu is worthy of his family and his majesty, as if he has no guilt in his heart, but this is wrong, Xun has too much guilt in his heart, but he is unable to think about it in these tense days."

Zhang Xun sighed. He looked in the direction of the rebel camp, and his hand holding the wine glass was a little hard.

"But to the people of Suiyang City?"

Su Lin helped Zhang Xun add wine. The effect of this wine was to restore soul energy, which was indeed beneficial to relieve Zhang Xun's mental fatigue.

Zhang Xun nodded, then shook his head, "Brother Yu is naturally ashamed of the people of Suiyang City. Xun has already imagined how the historian would evaluate the battle of Suiyang City. If Xun surrendered early, the people in Suiyang City would not be safe. , and will never end up with corpses lying on the roadside, hungry enough to eat people.”

He sighed and said: "Xun has fully served the heart of the monarch of the family and the country, and has protected tens of millions of people in Jianghuai. How unfair is this to the people of the city? Xun has thought about these things."

"But brother, he didn't hesitate to do it. That's why you can defend this city forever."

Su Lin's tone was flat, neither admiring nor belittling.

"No hesitation..."

Zhang Xun shook his head, "I am also a human being, and I read the books of sages. How can I not know how shocking these actions are? Everything is difficult at the beginning. Xun is ashamed of the people of Suiyang City, and of the soldiers who died defending the city. I am even more ashamed of the person who helped me start.”

"Who?"

Su Lin asked knowingly, because Suiyang City was under siege and the details would definitely not be spread.

Holding a wine glass in his left hand and a stone in his right hand, Zhang Xun is painting on the top of the city.

The moonlight fell on this middle-aged man with white beard and hair, and the time seemed to flow backwards on him in an instant. Su Lin seemed to see a romantic celebrity drinking and painting.

Thinking about it, Zhang Xun was also a famous scholar when he was young. He was born as a Jinshi, and he is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It's just that after he became an official, he focused more on how to be a good official.

Just depicting it with stones, a woman appeared on the 'paper' in a short time, and the ancients painted with freehand brushwork.

The person in the painting is a woman dancing. Although it is only a static painting, it seems that she can be seen dancing.

Zhang Xun's painting skills are not considered to be at the level of a master, but he is definitely considered a generation of famous artists, but he no longer touches these things that can't contribute to the country on weekdays.

"But Madam?"

Su Lin asked curiously.

Zhang Xun shook his head, "Qing Wan is my concubine, she met in Jiangnan."

"I don't think that a serious person like elder brother will take concubines. It must be a romantic past."

Su Lin looked like he was gossiping, but in fact he was indeed interested because he felt that there were some hidden Easter eggs that might not be in the dungeon, but would be found outside the dungeon.

In ancient times, romantic was not a derogatory term and was mostly used for famous officials, so his choice of words was not inappropriate.

Asked by Su Lin, Zhang Xun had an expression of nostalgia on his face, "Xun is also a mortal, and his heart will be moved. He will marry a wife in his official career, be an official in a different place, and meet a beautiful woman by chance..."

The story was narrated in the jug of wine under the moon, and Su Lin finally understood the eternal mystery.

Under the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the small bridges and flowing water people in the south of the Yangtze River were full of prosperity.

Zhang Xun traveled with his friends, cruised along the river, and got acquainted with Qingwan.

Qing Wan has a slim figure, beautiful appearance, and the most rare thing is that she dances very well. She can be called a master of a generation, and even attracted Zhang Xun's mind.

Zhang Xun was in his prime at that time, he was handsome, upright and full of talent, so naturally he collided with Qing Wan.

They knew each other and met until Zhang Xun redeemed him, and joined hands to conquer the mountains and rivers.

When Zhang Xun was tired and tired, she would sing a heart-stirring song.

If Zhang Xun's first wife was arranged by his family and required by his career, then Qingwan could be considered his soul mate.

Such good days lasted for several years, until the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and Zhang Xun's boss defected to the rebels. He would rather die than surrender, and led his servants, concubines, and followers to break out of the siege, and severely injured the rebels many times.

However, the rebel army was so strong that they finally retreated to Suiyang City. Xu Yuan, the prefect of Suiyang City, admired his loyalty and ability, and asked Zhang Xun to lead the city.

The rebel army besieged the city, and food had been out for a long time, and the phenomenon of Yizi cannibalism had already occurred in the city.

On that night, Zhang Xun returned to his residence tiredly, looking at his emaciated concubine in silence for a long time.

In the end, it was the thin and haggard but graceful woman who spoke first.

She turned around as lightly as when she first met, but instead of the elegant long skirt, she was wearing tattered clothes.

They first met in Jiangnan in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and parted in the devastated and chaotic times, just like the changes in the clothes on their bodies.

She stopped, and smiled sadly, "Seeing that my husband is tired, I wanted to perform a dance, but I thought my husband would not allow me to come."

The soldiers of Suiyang City fought bravely to kill the enemy, struggling on the edge of death day and night. As a general, how could Zhang Xun go home and watch his concubine dance by himself?

She stepped forward and said, "I know my husband's will, and I am willing to follow my husband's heart. I will leave without hatred. Once I hate it...the last dance."

After finishing speaking, she pulled out the saber from Zhang Xun's waist and slashed across his neck.

The beauty disappeared, the sharp sword fell to the ground, and the sound seemed to last for a long time.

After hearing this story, Su Lin sighed with emotion, "My sister-in-law sacrificed her life for justice. She is truly a heroine."

Zhang Xun drank all the wine in his glass, everyone was drunk, and there was some water in his eyes, "But now that I think about it, it would be great if Xun spoke first, and I could watch her dance again, which fulfilled her wish."

Having said that, he shook his head mockingly, "Maybe it's Xun's wish."

Su Lin looked at the portrait of a woman carved by Zhang Xun with stones on the city wall in silence, and was speechless for a while.

"The first meeting is good. If we stop at the first meeting, I'm afraid it would be best."

Zhang Xun said with emotion that if he hadn't taken a concubine, Qingwan might have met a more loving talent in Jiangnan and lived a happier life instead of wandering with him and finally dying under his own sword and falling into the pot Cooking, the fate of being shared.

Su Lin looked at the bright moon in the sky, his eyes seemed to have penetrated for more than 1000 years, "I don't think sister-in-law has any regrets."

Zhang Xun froze for a moment, then looked at Su Lin.

Su Lin smiled, "Perhaps, Bai came here precisely because of the guidance of his sister-in-law's heroic spirit."

He drank all the wine in the glass, and the night wind picked up, blowing his gown and making his hair fly.

The bright moon hangs high, and there are black clothes flying in the sky, "Brother, stay here, I will go back when I go."

It was late at night, and he was going to visit the rebel camp again.

He had already made a decision in his heart, even if he wanted to turn this copy of history upside down, he would bring some thoughts back to the millennium later, and put away those unsaid words.

Exhausted!
