Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1250 Wish
Commander-in-Chief, Lin Shubai.

Eight years ago, just this name was enough to calm the people in the whole city.

Meng Shi remembers staring blankly at the woman standing at the highest point, the distance was too far, she couldn't see the woman's face at all, she could only see a vague voice, but she couldn't look away.

This is, that person's master.

"My lord..."

"Master Guoshi is here to save us! It's all right!"

The crowd cheered, but many people who had just lost their family members were frightened and murmured.

"Why did Master Guoshi come only now?"

"What the hell were the defenders of the Great Wall of Eternal Night doing before!"

There were many people crying bitterly in the crowd, but they were ruthlessly driven away by the arriving soldiers.

"Go to the city quickly, everyone go back, don't all gather here, go to the city."

"Quick, the three teams are here to put out the fire!"

"Come here to drag away the corpses of the Xirong people. The National Teacher said that she will check later."

Meng Shi looked at the soldiers who maintained order and rearranged the people into the city. Each of them exuded a chilling aura, and their pitch-black armor seemed to be soaked in blood. When facing Xirong soldiers, it is reassuring.

She raised her head, and saw a black flag fluttering above the city, with a ferocious tiger's head painted on it.

She has heard.

This is a team that is more famous than the Silver Cicada Guard on the border.

The chief commander ordered Lin Shubai's personal guard, the Black Tiger Army.

Meng Shi gritted her teeth.

It was not the defenders at the border that saved Shanhaiguan at the critical moment, but Da Si Ming and the Black Tiger Army she brought.

And only this person can make up for the city wall and kill foreign enemies at the same time.

Just when most of the people returned to the city, the defenders outside the Guancheng came late.

But Meng Shi no longer has the mind to pay attention to those soldiers and practitioners.

She stood in front of the charred house in a daze, and the wooden stick in her arms fell down.

Just before she left, she still remembered her adoptive parents sitting at the table lovingly arranging the clay puppets given to her and Meng Ge, and Meng Ge, who was full, slumped on the mat and waved to her when she went out.

"Sister, I'm too tired to accompany you. I want to sleep for a while."

In just a short moment, everything turned into scorched black.

This is war.

Meng Shi stood in front of the ruins, crying and howling sounded one after another behind her, and many people desperately dragged their relatives who wanted to rush into the fire.

But no one will pull her.

The next moment, she frantically rushed towards the house that was still burning.

"Wait, there's a kid over there who's going to die..."

"Wait, she doesn't seem to be afraid of fire? What's going on?"

Meng Shi rushed into the fire, desperately searching for the wreckage of the house. The fiery red charcoal scalded her flesh, but she felt no pain at all.

"Age! Dad, Mom!"

Some neighbors looked at her in astonishment as she was rummaging through the fire, and they were a little afraid to see that she was not afraid of fire, but they still approached the road.

"Xiaoshi, no one can survive such a big fire, you better give up..."

Meng Shi felt so hopeless that she was numb, but at this moment, she suddenly heard a faint cry under the burning beam.

"A song!"

Meng Shi pushed away the scorched beams with all her strength, and saw her sister curled up under the beams.

All the neighbors watched this scene in astonishment, and at this moment, Meng Shi felt a familiar aura emanating from Meng Ge.

"This is……"

In an instant she understood what had happened.

At the most critical moment when the beams collapsed, Meng Ge awakened to the level of practitioners, and only then did he save his life.

"A song!"

Meng Shi hugged her lost sister tightly, but her eyes widened when she saw the two hugging skeletons beside her.

"I'm sorry, sister," Meng Ge choked on crying, "I...I couldn't save..."

"It's not your fault." Meng Shi hugged her sister and knelt down beside the two skeletons.

Eight years ago, the city of Shanhaiguan was broken.

She and Meng Ge lost their parents again.

At the same time, she also lost the most important person to her.

……

……

Everything that happened next happened very quickly, Meng Shi remembered that she almost dealt with everything in a state of numbness.

She buried her adoptive parents, and led Meng Ge out of Shanhaiguan City under the strange eyes of the neighbors.

From that day when both of them exposed themselves as practitioners in front of everyone, the neighbors looked at their sisters with strange eyes.

Because at this time, the turmoil that occurred at the border and the court finally reached the ears of ordinary people.

His Majesty the Emperor is dead.

What's even more frightening is that the eldest son Yingsu, the heir appointed by the Emperor Taizu, had passed away a year ago. In order to avoid panic among the people, Afang Palace had blocked the news of the death of the eldest son, and at the same time, Zhaoyang County The news that the Lord was deprived of military power and driven into the cloud forest.

But when Emperor Taizu passed away, all news could not be blocked.

The second emperor only wanted to succeed to the throne quickly, and just a week after the death of Emperor Taizu, he planned to hold the enthronement ceremony in Afang Palace, but at this juncture, the chief minister Lin Shubai fell ill.

Holding her sister's hand, Meng Shi stood on the scorched earth swept by the flames of war, looking from a distance at the camp that originally belonged to Yinchanwei, which had been occupied by the Black Tiger Army.

She just kept echoing the news she heard before.

Three days after Emperor Taizu passed away, the soul lamp originally kept in the Afang Palace belonged to Shao Siming Lin Baoyue.

went out.

For practitioners, when the soul lamp goes out, it means death.

The body dies and the soul disappears.

Only this one is possible.

All this happened three months before the wall of the Great Wall of Eternal Night was broken.

And just two months ago, although the enthronement ceremony had not yet been held, the second emperor ascended the throne as the only remaining parent and son of Emperor Taizu. Taking advantage of the serious illness of the chief minister, he immediately replaced the guard at the border .

Da Si Ming fell ill, and Xi Rong wanted to take advantage of the fire to loot. Although he didn't know what happened to the damage to the city wall, the new border guard who was replaced by Emperor II actually let the Xi Rong cavalry into the border.

In the end, the crisis was resolved because of Da Si Ming's timely arrival, but in this small-scale war, she lost everything.

Meng Shi stood in front of the unrecognizable barracks, but couldn't shed a single tear.

After being adopted by the old couple four years ago, both she and Meng Ge changed their adoptive father's surname, but after burying their adoptive parents, she changed back to Meng's surname.

The surname that belonged to her abysmal biological father.

She is not qualified to face the kindness that woman once bestowed on her.

She, who failed to protect her parents and sister, is not qualified to have the same surname as that loving couple.

Meng Shi took out a piece of candy wrapper with blackened corners from her bosom.

That agreement turned out to be farewell.

She hugged the candy paper in her arms and bent down, but her voice was so dry that she couldn't make a sound.

"Sister..." Meng Ge looked at her worriedly, but screamed the next moment.

Meng Shi turned her head suddenly, and found that there was a black-armored soldier standing quietly behind them, her eyes widened in shock.

"Are you the twin sisters?" the black armored soldier looked at them and asked.

"Master National Teacher wants to see you."
