One person guards the lonely city, invincible in the world

Chapter 30 I'm not your hero, I'm a lunatic
Sunset and evening breeze.

The scarlet lonely city stands quietly in the desert. It is like a poisonous mandala, so coquettish and eye-catching but stings the sight.

Thousands of riders stirred up smoke and dust, without making any sound, they flocked to the isolated city like walking dead.

They are the knights of the gods cultivated by the abyss of the empire, and the combat power of one knight is equivalent to ten elites.

Celestial knights generally only execute internal orders and rarely participate in the battlefield, not because they are not good at fighting, but because they are not worthy of their presence.

20 years ago, the Western Byzantine Empire was captured, and only 15 Celestial Knights faced [-] Crusaders like pigs and dogs. The first battle established the reputation of the first iron army of the Barbarian Empire.

"His Majesty engraved words on the screen with his own blood—a national humiliation."

"This city is the disaster and shame suffered by the empire. It is the place where the sons and daughters of the empire are buried. We will fight bloody battles and vow to break through the city of Kucha."

The general held an ax and roared angrily like a lion, and his golden armor shone brightly in the sunset.

"kill!!"

The sound of a thousand knights shook the sky, forming a majestic wave faintly in the air.

"Flag up!"

The master waved his axe, and a purple banner depicting the Throne of the Abyss fluttered in the wind.

He looked at the distant outline of Blood City, his expression gradually became serious.

Bad luck!

How unlucky!
I was ordered to inspect the Western Regions. I knew that I would go back first and then pass the news back to the holy city, so that the gods would not let them wipe out the lonely city...

It is hard not to be cowardly and fearful in the face of such a monster who can kill thousands of troops by one person.

But for a general, no matter how timid a battle is, he has to pretend to be sure of winning in front of his subordinates.

suddenly.

A figure in a red robe appeared at the end of the yellow sand, with snow-white shawl and long hair standing out in the dim sky. He just jumped up and down dragging his sword.

"The Yue family said that he never stepped out of the territory!" The general's eyes froze, he was obviously a lunatic, but he felt an indescribable sense of oppression.

Why go out of town?
There are still more than 100 miles away from the isolated city.

The sudden and strange move has already disintegrated the strategy he arranged.

"Array!"

The general gritted his teeth and shouted angrily. The Celestial Knights were stationed with swords, crossbows on their backs, spears and shields. Everyone opened their eyes wide, forming a huge phalanx.

A living wall of flesh and blood!
The wind was howling, and the atmosphere on the battlefield was as stiff as iron, like a lake that had just frozen, and would drown if it collapsed.

The white-haired man hummed a nursery rhyme and jumped up and down in the yellow sand like a child, turning a blind eye to his surroundings.

He saw that as long as his home was not destroyed, it had nothing to do with him.

A thousand god knights suffered cardiac arrest, twisted their heads with difficulty, and watched the Hannu pass by.

What an absurd scene.

They have already brewed a hundred killing moves in their minds, praying silently to survive, and even muttering that they are sorry for their wives and daughters.

who knows……

Just walked over like nothing happened.

"General Allen, what should we do?" the knight carrying the flag asked in a low voice.

The general's face was numb, his emotions fluctuated from horrified to overwhelmed.

What's going on?
I'm ready for my last words.

At this time.

The white-haired man turned his head suddenly, looked around the army with clear eyes, and said with a smile:
"Turn around and don't leave, or I will kill you all and drink your blood."

"Do it!" Allen shouted suddenly, reined in the horse, and roared to the sky:
"Defend the glory of the knights of the gods, whoever can kill the Han slaves will be rewarded with a seat in the abyss!"

"Revenge for the empire, kill!!"

As expected of the No. [-] Iron Army, the knights charged forward bravely and fearlessly, each carrying a weapon, and the frontmost knight of the halberd array stood directly on the back of the horse.

"I'm sick!" Gu Changan flicked the scabbard with his finger, he just wanted to see the snow fall.

puff!
Before he drew his sword, the long halberd pierced through his arm, and the brand new red robe was bloody.

"Kill, kill!!" The charging knight waved his arms excitedly, but before he was excited for a moment, the halberd was broken directly, and the terrifying counter-shock force made him fall from the horse's back, and was crushed flat by the unstoppable horse's hooves.

"Very strong..." Gu Changan urged with a blank expression on his face:

"But I want to watch the snow, so don't waste time."

He let the halberd and arrows be nailed to his body, and pulled out the bloody sword in an instant. The rich killing aura enveloped the world, and the sinful and cruel sword net fell down in an instant.

There were only 1000 people, but the battle lasted for most of the day. Near the night, the full moon hung high, and the battle on the battlefield was only wailing, with corpses strewn all over the field and blood gurgling.

Under the moonlight, there were less than seventy remnants of the honored Celestial Knights. The arm of the main general, Allen, was cut off, and one eye was burned and bleeding.

Their fighting spirit was completely crushed, and they rode their horses to escape from the cruel slaughterhouse with hisses and roars.

At the beginning, he laughed at the fierce soldiers of the Yue family as silver-like pewter guns, but now he fought with his own hands, and only then did he deeply understand why an isolated city can hold on for 63 years.

That's the monster! !
His heart was broken, and he was still swinging the sword like a normal person. If his head hadn't been crushed, he wouldn't have died no matter what.

Gu Chang'an's blood gushed out like a spring and his body was covered with cuts and bruises. He was a little regretful, the kind of regret that let the prey run away in the moment before the bow was fired.

As long as he wasn't at home, he didn't bother to chase after him, not to mention the heavy snow falling immediately.

The premonition is definitely not wrong.

Boom! !

All of a sudden, the sky was dark and cloudy, and heavy snow fell all over the sky, and it stopped within a radius of ten miles.

Gu Changan didn't know what breaking the scene was, he felt that he could enjoy the snow again, so he wanted to go to the place where he saw the snow last time, and never thought that the snow would come halfway.

All of a sudden, the sky and the earth burst apart, thunder and thunder rolled in the sky, and a white blizzard poured down the sky. A giant dragon with condensed energy was swimming in the white sky.

"It's so beautiful~" Gu Changan opened his arms, the blood on his body was washed away by the heavy snow, and the ground was covered with snow again.

He built a few snowmen, and waited for the ice and snow to melt before leaving reluctantly.

……

The strong stench of corpses rushed head-on in the howling north wind, almost suffocating the silver-threaded old woman.

Her wrinkled face was full of shock.

All barbarian corpses!

Celestial Knight!

"Is it you?" Li Lian murmured to herself. She met dozens of fled disabled knights on the road, and it took an hour to kill them with difficulty.

And here, there are thousands of them!
"Where's Anxi?"

She looked at the vast desert, and the pervasive blood color covered her sight.

Six thousand miles away, she has actually lost her way. The map of Anxi from decades ago has long been invalid, and the area is unpredictable.

But in the main throat that everyone must pass, the Qin seal script is engraved on the stone tablet in the Gobi Desert, which is still the rarest stone drum script.

If it weren't for the Central Plains people who have studied the culture of fonts, they would not be able to identify them at all.

She was born in the royal family, and she was taught by a grand master when she was young, so she happened to know.

The engraver said that his name was Liu Shang, and he wondered if he would die in the Wanli Desert. Please, fellow villagers, go to Kucha City to see the heroic soul of Anxi in the city. The location is like this...

Li Lian instantly understood everything.

Guoyun, Gao Chaoen, and portrait people.

Turning her thoughts, the silver-haired old woman continued to walk in the air along the direction.

In the middle of the night, she felt desolate and sad, and she didn't dare to take a half step forward while standing in the yellow sand.

The long-faded "Tang" flag was curled up lazily and lonely. In fact, the Tang flag had been replaced dozens of times, but tears filled her eyes instantly.

In 64, during the expedition ceremony of the Anxi Eighth Regiment, she was still a girl at that time, standing in the crowd admiring the heroic appearance of the Tang Tiejun.

This is the flag!
is it...

The old woman's heart convulsed, and the pain filled her whole body, as if the years had not passed, just like 64 years ago, she quietly looked up at the banner.

She was laughing then, but now she was in tears.

In the vicissitudes of life decades ago, everything has been subverted, but the only thing that remains unchanged is that this flag is still fluttering in the wind.

"Go away, don't come any closer."

An emotionless voice came from far away, drifting far away along the night wind.

Li Lian wiped away the tears, and walked into the flag in the air, but the scene in front of her completely shocked her.

She has never seen such a miserable city, the walls are covered with a thick burst of blood, the bloody abyss lies outside the city, and there is a rotten atmosphere everywhere. skull.

This isn't some horrible graveyard from hell.

This is the heroism that shakes the world and weeps ghosts and gods!
On the top of the city, a red figure stands, vaguely a stone figurine statue.

Just all alone.

At this moment, Li Lian could no longer control her emotions. Standing on this piece of land, her grief instantly swept her away.

The Anxi Army has persisted for a full 63 years!
"If you enter my house, you will die a miserable death."

With the blood sword facing the sky, the red-robed man descended along the city wall, the sword moved forward layer by layer, and the killing aura shot out instantly.

The old woman pushed out her palm and could resist it, but she still took a few steps back. Without any hesitation, she knelt down and bowed to Gucheng.

"Chang'an, Chang'an!!!" There was a hysterical roar in the city, and Carpenter Qin almost lost his voice.

He and Xiao Luoyang rotated their shifts every day, so they were afraid that Chang'an would accidentally hurt the customer from Zhongyuan.

How can it be a barbaric act for visitors to kneel and worship before moving forward.

The familiar voice made Gu Changan turn his head to look, but he didn't put away the blood sword.

Carpenter Qin ran down the stairs from a tall building, and accidentally fell due to his lame leg. He got up with difficulty and rang the small bell. The child sleeping next door woke up startled, and came out to help his grandfather and ran to the city gate.

"Quickly...quickly dig out the peach blossoms." Carpenter Qin still remembered Chang'an's repeated reminders before he fell mad.

Peach blossoms that are not nourished by the power of heaven and earth are easily pulled out by children, and there are only a few clusters of bright red petals on them.

"Chang'an, look at this!" Carpenter Qin shouted loudly.

The red-robed man looked at the peach blossoms that were getting closer and closer, as if he saw the sustenance of his soul, his head burst into pain, and he regained a brief clarity.

He looked at the sad old woman, was silent for a long time, and said softly:

"Stop kneeling."

The world was silent, Li Lian remained indifferent, and continued to walk slowly to the city gate on his knees. In fact, she saw the inscription left by Liu Shang, and guessed that the territory of the Tang Dynasty was still there.

At that time, she had no thought of kneeling, but seeing the devastated city wall with her own eyes, and seeing Anxi martyrs dying for their country with smiles, she had to kneel!

The city gate was wide open, Carpenter Qin and Xiao Luoyang forcibly helped Li Lian up.

"Where are you from?" Xiao Luoyang asked anxiously.

Looking at the light in the eyes of the thin and childish child, the old woman choked up and said:

"The Li family of the Tang Dynasty..."

"Why did you come here alone again?" Xiao Luoyang suddenly sat on the ground and cried.

Li Lian let out the colorful pigeons in his sleeve, and the colorful pigeons flapped their wings and landed on the railing of the watchtower.

Gu Chang'an's temple was in pain, and the severe pain seemed to cut his soul. He forcibly endured it, and while he was awake, he asked loudly:

"The mountains and rivers are safe?"

The old woman raised her head and wriggled her lips with difficulty. She saw a lonely man with white hair and a red robe. He was also the only man in the world who created his own aura.

"The mountains and rivers are safe." She trembled.

"How are the people doing?"

"Cathay peace and prosperity!"

Gu Changan smiled and said in a low voice:

"You lied to me, but thank you for lying to me, otherwise I would be really sad."

"I hope that the Central Plains will sing songs of joy instead of lamentation, and health instead of pain."

After he finished speaking, he kept staring at the peach petals in Grandpa Qin's arms.

"His name is Gu Chang'an. Without this poor boy, the city would have been lost long ago. More than 1 wild dogs attacked the city, and there was no end to it. Guess what, Chang'an raised his sword and killed them all!"

"Here, you passed the banner, he helped Datang expand the territory for twenty miles."

"Also, many wild dogs that can fly come over, all of them are dead, and the fire can't be finished."

Carpenter Qin babbled on, as if he wanted to finish in one breath, but the story about Anxi Army and Chang'an was too long.

The old woman burst into tears, why did the fortune of the country soar, because there are people who are in a desperate situation surrounded by thousands of armies, and they can help Datang expand its territory! !
With a steady stream of troops, countless masters and even enlightened ones, how could he continue to hold the lamp.

"I'll write it down." She cried in an extremely hoarse voice, and took out a pen and paper from her sleeve.

"Okay..." Carpenter Qin didn't tell the story of the [-] Anxi army, but only started with the children who like to wear white robes. Chang'an alone is the whole of Anxi.

"I wear a white robe every day, and I have to cut it to fit. The six-year-old kid often wanders around the city to brag."

"He is very attractive. He has never read a book and knows how to recite poems. When he was seven years old, he took a machete to kill barbarians, and he couldn't reach it by jumping..."

The old woman wrote vigorously, thinking of the funny scene of the child jumping up and hacking people, she dilutes her sadness.

But gradually, when there are more and more children in the story, they don't sing poems anymore, and they are not as cheerful as usual. They just like to drink with their grandpas at the top of the city.

Li Lian's fingers froze, she didn't dare to write, she pursed her lips with difficulty, and continued writing.

"He was only 11 years old, and the barbarians began to persuade him to surrender. I remember that day when he quietly hid in the alley and cried. The old man asked him what was wrong, and he said it hurt."

"Rolling up his sleeves, his arms were pierced, and his bones were shattered into pieces. He just said it hurts."

"At the age of 13, he had already started to face hundreds of barbarians by himself. No, it was the corner of the city wall. He was covered by the corpses of barbarians. The old men turned pale with fright. Come up, Chang'an laughed out loud, he must have tricked you."

Li Lian's heart twitched violently, leaning against the city gate, motionless, unable to write any more.

This is just the story before the age of 13, and there will be another ten years.

She pierced her shoulder with internal force, the pain made her maintain her emotions, picked up a pen and paper and wrote desperately.

Only listening and writing, not in mind,

It was dawn, and Li Lian was lying under the city gate as if his bones had been broken, his eyes were empty and lifeless.

What kind of cruel and desperate 23 years had she heard! ! !

It's too desperate and miserable, and he's living like a ghost. Why should such an astonishing genius sink into hell.

When this letter is sent back to Chang'an, it will completely infect the entire land of Shenzhou, and even the hard-hearted wicked will shed tears.

After living Gu Chang'an's life for a day, he might go crazy and commit suicide, but this man has repeated it for 23 years, eight thousand days and nights!
"Let's go."

There were giggling sounds from the top of the city, and the older child with clear eyes urged.

Li Lian called out to the colorful pigeon, folded the rice paper and tied it to the pigeon's legs, and the colored pigeon rushed into the sky and flew towards the east at an incredible speed.

My responsibility has been fulfilled, and the story of Gu Chang'an will surely spread throughout the Central Plains of China.

"I want to stay here!" She said loudly with red eyes.

Carpenter Qin shook his head and waved his hands freely:
"Let's go, or Chang'an will kill you."

Li Lian was so sad that she didn't want to live, she stared at Wanglou in a daze.

"I didn't run around, and I kept my house obediently. I just ran out once because of watching the snow." Gu Changan explained like a child who made a mistake.

Li Lian turned her head away, her face trembling because of these words, she resolutely stepped out of the isolated city.

She shouldn't be the one who took Gu Changan back to the Central Plains, and she couldn't be the one who took the ashes of Anxi's heroic soul.

People of insight in Shenzhou should muster up the courage to step into the Western Regions, and take this miserable child back to the Central Plains in an earth-shattering way!
This day is not far away!

"Don't come to my house again, or I'll kill you."

Gu Changan jumped down from the watchtower, as if watching, afraid that Li Lian would linger at the door of the house.

After making sure she stayed away, Gu Changan walked back contentedly.

Li Lian turned back with tears in her eyes, watching the lonely back, looking at the relaxed and cheerful pace, as if she was silently telling her with the back:
I'm fine.

……

At noon, everything in Datang looked the same as before.

The sun is still bright and brilliant, and the sky is still clear and blue.

A group of dozens of people stood under the city of Chang'an, looking up at this rich and graceful imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Liu Shang gently stroked a brick wall on the edge of the city with a pilgrimage.

He looked at the rows of blooming peonies, as well as the pagoda and elm trees planted in the four streets and eight avenues. The trees were shady, elegant and quiet.

"How?" asked the elegant-looking young man in his thirties beside him in a soft voice.

He is the descendant of Sun Simiao, king of medicine. Facing the collapsed land of Shenzhou, medical skills could not save the descendants of Yan and Huang, so he was disheartened and lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain.

But when he received the news from His Majesty Beiliang, he decided to leave the mountain without hesitation.

Wanli Desert climbed out of Yumen Pass just to complete the mission. This man has a kind of spiritual belief that Shenzhou urgently needs!
Liu Shang looked at the faces of every man, woman, old and young in the city, sighed heavily, and tears flowed silently from his eyes.

It's not the Chang'an he imagined, but the Chang'an in his dream, the people's faces are full of pride, with the pride and reserve of coming to court from all nations.

But now...

Seeming to know what he was thinking, Xu Ting was silent for a moment:

"Into the city."
