kingly way

Chapter 175 Chapter 175

night, already dark;

A waning moon hangs in the sky, the earth looks hazy, and the cool breeze makes people feel even more desolate.

In a barren cemetery, there were occasional wailing crows, which added a bit of horror to the cemetery.

Two horses walk side by side on a path in a cemetery.

A boy is sitting on the horse on the left, and a girl is sitting on the horse on the right. The boy is about 21 years old, and the girl is about [-] years old.

Perhaps after a long journey, both of them had tired looks on their faces.

"Swan geese are flying, wailing and wailing. Along the way, there are displaced victims everywhere, and these victims cry out in mourning like mourning birds."

The boy said with emotion.

Along the way, the boy saw that everywhere was devastated by the flames of war, the ruined cities were destroyed by the flames of war, corpses were scattered all over the city and villages, and bones abandoned on the roadside could be seen at any time. These bones should be soldiers who died in battle or Refugees who fled, they can't even care about their own lives, how can they care about their relatives who died on the side of the road, how can they care about their comrades who died on the battlefield?

War is so cruel.

Not to mention the roadside, even in the village, the grass was overgrown and the trees were barren. The boy couldn't help feeling extremely sad, and he sighed heavily.

"In every war, the people will be in dire straits. Those who are robbed and killed are ordinary people. They are the ones who die, and they are the ones who suffer. They are the most miserable people."

The girl said heartbroken.

"Tattoo..."

Just as the girl finished speaking, there was a rush of hooves behind her...

Two horses came rushing from far to near...

The boy and the girl drove their horses to the side of the road, letting the fast horses behind them pass.

"Tattoo..."

There was a loud sound of horseshoes, and the fast horse behind them passed by them.

The horse was so fast that it disappeared in an instant...

"Dakini yakshas and ground yakshas?"

The boy looked in the direction of the disappearing horse and blurted out...

"Brother Ying, are you talking about the killers Dakini Yasha and Dixing Yasha of Yan Luodian?"

the girl asked in surprise.

"It's them. There must be some hurry in their haste."

The boy nodded.

The boy is Yingluo, the girl is Tao Yilan, and they are rushing to Dan Country.

"Brother Ying, there seems to be a village there. There seems to be someone's voice. There should be someone in the village."

Tao Yilan suddenly pointed to a village in front of her and shouted happily.

Along the way, there are sparsely populated places and mournful people everywhere. The villages are desolate because of the war, the relocation of the relocation, and the fleeing of refugees.

"Taoyang Village? This is the triangle area between Beiwan, Kyushu Empire and Dan Kingdom. It belongs to indisputable land and will not be affected by the war, so the villagers can farm here safely."

When they approached the village, they saw the words "Taoyang Village" written at the intersection of the village and the village, and people's voices came from the village.

"Brother Ying, let's go to the village to ask for a bowl of water, and we can rest our feet by the way."

Tao Yilan looked at Yingluo, and then at the village.

"Ah."

Ying Luo nodded, he knew that Tao Yilan was tired after walking with him for so long.

Yingluo and Tao Yilan walked into Taoyang Village side by side. The villagers had returned from farming, some were cooking, some were busy with housework, and a scene of ease and happiness greeted their eyes.

The villagers saw Ying Luo and Tao Yilan and greeted them friendly.

"Brother Ying, look, what a wonderful life without war." Tao Yilan said with emotion.

Tao Yilan saw an old woman choosing vegetables by the side of the road, she stepped forward.

"You two young men, are you from afar?"

The mother-in-law seemed to have discovered them, and before Tao Yilan could speak, she asked questions first.

"Yes, mother-in-law, we are tired from walking and thirsty. I want to ask you for a bowl of water, so I can rest my feet?"

Tao Yilan couldn't help admiring her mother-in-law's physical condition: at such an age, her eyesight and hearing are still so good.

"Oh, young man, come into the house with me."

Grandma stood up after speaking and led them into the house.

Although the room was simple, it was very tidy, and there were two children, a man and a woman, inside; they saw Tao Yilan and the others coming in, they timidly hid aside, and looked at Tao Yilan and the others curiously.

Grandma asked them to sit on the stools and poured them two bowls of water.

Tao Yilan and Ying Luo took the water, and Ying Luo drank it up in one gulp.Start teasing the two children to play.

Ying Luo picked up a small pebble, put it on the table, and covered it with a bowl that had been drained of water. He asked the two children to blow into the bowl respectively, and then asked them to lift the bowl, and the pebble disappeared. The two children were stunned by the miraculous scene; then they laughed happily.

Yingluo picked up another piece of thread. He pinched the thread with his left hand, and slowly rolled up the thread with his right hand. Then they each pulled a small section, and kept the rest in their palms. He took a breath, and when he opened his palm, the thread disappeared again;
The two children thought it was amazing again and laughed happily.

The mother-in-law looked at the two children smiling so happily. There was a smile on her face, but there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Mother-in-law, where are their parents?"

The careful Tao Yilan noticed the change in her mother-in-law's face, she couldn't help asking.

"Cough, let's go..."

The mother-in-law sighed softly;

"Gone? Go there?"

Tao Yilan asked curiously.

"I went to a place far, far away."

"How is this going?"

Tao Yilan heard her mother-in-law's implication, so she asked.

"Yellow Lan..."

Ying Luo wanted to stop Tao Yilan, but was interrupted by her mother-in-law.

"It doesn't matter." The mother-in-law interrupted Ying Luo and continued: "A few months ago, a group of defeated soldiers came to our village. Some younger villagers organized to fight against the defeated army in order to protect the villagers. Although the defeated army was repelled, many young people were killed by the defeated army. His father was one of these heroes. Father, also injured, died not long after."

The old woman was already in tears after she finished speaking, and she couldn't make a sound.

"It's all caused by the war. Those defeated troops are even more ferocious than the bandits. How can such an army be a good army?" Tao Yilan sighed.

Ying Luo took out a handful of copper coins from his bag.

"Mother-in-law, these copper coins have the right to add a little to your household."

After Ying Luo finished speaking, he put the copper coins in the old woman's hand.

"This, this...how can I do it?" After finishing speaking, the old lady handed the copper coins back to Yingluo.

"Grandma, just accept it." Tao Yilan also persuaded.

They were saying goodbye to each other, when suddenly there was a shout from outside the village, and the mother-in-law's expression changed drastically.

"Hurry up and hide, these robbers are here again." The mother-in-law said in a trembling voice.

"Hmph, these scum, am I about to meet them?"

After Ying Luo finished speaking, he stuffed the copper coins into her mother-in-law's hand and walked out, and Tao Yilan followed suit.

"Young...young..."

The mother-in-law chased out while shouting.

Ying Luo walked out of her mother-in-law's house and saw that the villagers were already holding all kinds of weapons, ready to fight. They saw Ying Luo and Tao Yilan approaching, saw that they were unfamiliar faces, thought they were robbers, and immediately surrounded them stand up.

"They are not robbers, they are our guests...they are our guests..."

The mother-in-law shouted after them.

When the villagers heard their mother-in-law's shouts, they turned around and walked out of the village, ready to face the intruders.

Ying Luo and Tao Yilan followed them to the outside of the village, and found a group of people dressed as soldiers running towards the village; Ying Luo saw that there were about dozens of them, and the leader looked like an officer.

The villagers showed their weapons and confronted the soldiers at the gate of the village.

"You are soldiers, you don't defend your home and country, but you come here to rob villagers, are you still soldiers?"

Ying Luo walked out of the crowd and shouted to the army on the opposite side.
