The Doctor of the City goes down the mountain

Chapter 2553: The test is passed, family, country and the world, sacrifice one’s life for the cause!

Time flies, and another half a year has passed.

Lin Dong stood on the city wall at the border, looking at the endless mountains in the distance and the clouds intertwined in the sky. His heart was filled with both great ambition and some subtle worries.

Since leaving the Taoist temple half a year ago, he has embarked on this iron and bloody road with deep affection for his country and courage to face the unknown.

From an ordinary soldier to a general under ten thousand command.

Every battle witnessed his growth and transformation, and his name, like a beacon fire on the frontier, quickly spread to all directions.

However, behind all this glory and achievement, Lin Dong always had a concern in his heart - Princess Haoyue who was far away in the capital.

"I wonder if she is doing well now." Lin Dong clenched his fist. He now wanted to become a general and lead the soldiers to resist foreign invaders.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed and it is time for countries to pay tribute.

In the capital city, undercurrents surged. The Yellow Emperor was old and weak, and the government was controlled by a group of treacherous villains. They actually intended to send Princess Haoyue as a chess piece for marriage to an unknown place in exchange for a brief peace.

When the news reached the border, Lin Dong's heart seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer. He could not imagine how the gentle and tough princess would face such a cruel fate.

Finally, that day came, and the princess's carriage slowly drove into the border, but as everyone expected, it did not go directly to the place of marriage.

Princess Haoyue, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a frosty face and an unyielding light in her eyes. Under the gaze of the soldiers and civilians on the frontier, she made a shocking decision - to commit suicide with a golden hairpin, to defend the dignity and glory of the country with her life.

"I don't believe that millions of soldiers in our country will take off their armor together, and not a single one of them is a man!"

Her voice, clear and firm, penetrated the noisy wind and echoed in every inch of land in the frontier. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and everyone's heart was shocked like never before.

"If I don't have passion, I am willing to burn my blood, inject it into my soil, and nourish the fighting spirit of my army!" This was her last words to this world, and it was also the deepest encouragement to all soldiers.

As the words fell, Princess Haoyue's body slowly fell down, like a withered lotus, but she planted an eternal fire in everyone's heart.

When Lin Dong arrived here, Princess Haoyue had already died, and he did not see her for the last time.

Lin Dong walked with heavy steps through the sea of ​​flowers, but his heart was desolate.

When he learned the news that Princess Haoyue had sacrificed her life for her country, his whole world seemed to collapse, and pain and anger overwhelmed him like a tide.

He vowed to avenge Princess Haoyue with his own hands and bring true peace to this land.

From then on, Lin Dong immersed himself completely in the practice of military tactics and martial arts, day and night.

He knows very well that passion alone is not enough. Only by becoming stronger can he protect the people he loves and protect this land from the flames of war.

Three years passed like a flash, and Lin Dong grew from a fledgling soldier to a wise and brave general.

In the end, with his outstanding talents and unremitting efforts, he won the respect of the entire army and became the commander-in-chief of the army.

However, just as Lin Dong was preparing to lead his army into battle, a shocking piece of news came from the capital—the old emperor had passed away and the new emperor had ascended the throne.

The new emperor was Princess Haoyue’s elder brother, the second prince.

After he ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to declare himself a pro-war faction, vowing to drive out foreign threats and avenge his sister, while also fully supporting Lin Dong's military operations.

Lin Dong felt unprecedented strength and support.

The wind howled through the battlefield, blowing up yellow sand all over the sky, covering the sky.

The final battle has finally arrived.

Lin Dong, wearing heavy armor, stood in front of the army, his eyes were firm and cold, as if he could penetrate the dust and look directly at the distant enemy formation. There was no fear in his heart, only the desire for victory and the promise to Princess Haoyue.

As a deafening horn sounded, Lin Dong led the imperial army and rushed towards the foreign coalition forces like a flood breaking through a dam.

The war drums thundered, the battle flags fluttered, and every soldier was determined to die, vowing to fight for his country and for peace in this battle.

The battle was extremely brutal, with soldiers from both sides fighting back and forth like the tide, swords clashing and blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Lin Dong held a spear and shuttled through the enemy formations. Every time he swung his spear, an enemy fell. He was agile and had superb fighting skills. He was truly a match for thousands of enemies on the battlefield.

However, the enemy Khan was also a master. The two fought a final battle, and Lin Dong finally won, but he also lost an arm.

Severe pain instantly swept through his body, and a trace of pain and anger flashed in Lin Dong's eyes.

But he did not fall down. Instead, he waved his only remaining arm even more frantically and continued to fight.

The blood dyed his armor red, and also dyed the battlefield red.

He seemed to have transformed into an indomitable god of war, using his flesh and blood to open up a path to victory for the army.

Finally, at the moment when the foreign coalition's defense line was completely defeated, Lin Dong also fell in a pool of blood.

His eyes were still bright and determined, with a faint smile on his lips.

He knew that although he lost an arm, he gained victory in the war and brought peace and tranquility to the land.

The soldiers gathered around and lifted Lin Dong up, their eyes filled with respect and grief.

"Haoyue, I finally did it." Lin Dong muttered to himself before he fell into coma.

And beside them, all the soldiers shouted:

"General Lin, strengthen our military power!"

……

When the army returned to the capital, Lin Dong did not go with them to receive the reward.

And I went back to the Taoist temple first.

He met his master Luo Xue, whom he had not seen for many years, and knelt at her feet again, saying, "Master, I am back."

Luo Xue sighed and said, "I know everything you did outside. Do you remember the test I told you about before?"

Lin Dong nodded, "Disciple remembers, but I'm afraid I don't have a chance to pass that test."

Luo Xue was stunned and asked, "Why?"

"Because I want to tell Princess Haoyue that her wish has come true. This land has ushered in a peaceful and prosperous era as she wished."

"And I am going to accompany her too."

"You...you want to commit suicide?" Luo Xue was stunned. If Lin Dong really wanted to commit suicide, wouldn't that mean that they had failed the test in their second life?

Lin Dong nodded and said, "After years of fighting on the battlefield, I have too many hidden diseases. I don't have much time left to live, so I might as well go find Haoyue as soon as possible."

In the end, Lin Dong chose to be a martyr.

Back then, Princess Haoyue chose to be a martyr in order to awaken the passion in the hearts of the soldiers and to awaken the dignity of the people on this land.

After Lin Dong fulfilled his promise to Princess Haoyue, he also chose to be a martyr.

'Lin Dong' committed suicide, just like Princess Haoyue did back then.

After Lin Dong died, Luo Xue buried "his body" together with Princess Haoyue.

At this moment, the world in this illusion space distorted again.

Luo Xue was stunned and murmured, "Is this...passing the test?"

"It turns out that the test for Lin Dong in this second life is not the test of his peach blossom calamity. It is a test of his love for his country and the world, and a test of his boundless love and his willingness to sacrifice his life for the cause..."
