Tomorrow's Ark, raised by children

She couldn't see the breath of reunion after a long absence.On the contrary, all this seems to have happened more than ten years ago, and they may have never been separated for such a long time.

"Uh.....we...we..."

Zhang Yubai swallowed.

"Sister Nian, how did you negotiate with Lin Shanbao? Did you cause any damage to yourself?"

He took a deep breath, and then said the words while exhaling.

"..."

Nian's smile froze on his face.

"Lin Shanbao is definitely not a good person, and Si Suitai has also become troubled because of my 'betrayal'... The people in the Ministry of Rites should not let me go, no matter from which angle you negotiate, the situation is different. Extremely unfavorable.....What did I pay to save my life? What does the so-called disaster prevention by the 'I' drawn by Xi mean? "

"......"

Years of silence.

"You have changed, little Qilin."

"People have to change." Hearing this, Zhang Yubai sighed, and most of the embarrassment he had just now disappeared.

The way they talked changed in an instant.

Yes, that has changed.Zhang Yubai has changed, he is no longer the little unicorn he used to be.

"Overall.....not a big deal. It was nothing more than a...discussion about your availability? Eventually...they decided to explore your value in another way .”

"Another way? What do they want me to do?"

Zhang Yubai was taken aback.

"Border guard." Nian replied simply, "They're going to send you to Yumen."

"Phew... I thought they were stealing my eggs."

Nian laughed again.

What Zhang Yubai said was a joke, Nian understood.

"When are we leaving?"

"We'll be leaving later."

Zhang Yubai suddenly realized.

"No wonder you want to see me! So it's for this..."

"Not all." Nian stuck out his tongue, "Take out everything I gave you!"

Facing the sudden turning point, Zhang Yubai did not hesitate, and immediately placed the folding fan and the parting dagger in front of Nian.

Take a closer look at these things.

"It hasn't changed . . . nothing has changed."

She nodded with satisfaction.

"Actually, you haven't changed."

"How do you say this?"

"No matter which path you take, you will have the same virtue as that river god... After all, the same goal will be achieved by different routes."

Zhang Yubai didn't understand what Nian wanted to express.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just a sudden emotion."

Nian smiled lightly.

"Let me ask you, do you still remember when we parted more than ten years ago?"

"Remember, always remember!"

"What did I say then?"

"You said... as long as I stick to my way, we will meet again."

"Yeah, you still haven't changed."

Nian nodded happily.

"Still so unbelievable."

Zhang Yubai also laughed.

"Yeah...stubborn, isn't it?"

"Ha ha......."

They laughed together so that they didn't notice Xi who walked in.

"We still have a lot to say..."

The two bodies fit together, the lines almost overlapping.

Volume Two: Different Routes to the Same Goal: Chapter 118 Chapter 110 Chapter Two: Different Routes to the Same Goal

[-] miles of yellow sand go west, and [-] miles of Changjiang River flows east.

The silver moon forms a hook, and the galaxy is full.

There is no one on the wild crossing, and the water is sparkling.

Let's look at the places that no one knows, and startled the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty.

........

"Let's go! Let's go!"

The boatman's voice was so hoarse, like a blacksmith's broken bellows, as if a thousand-year-old phlegm was stuck in his throat.

The night is deep, and the stars and lights lit by people on the other side create a quiet atmosphere. Fireflies are flashing in the lush grass. They are the elves of the night, coming from the supreme sky of distant insects.

"Go to the border! A real man! The so-called real man is someone like you... called... mighty and unyielding!"

"Old man, mighty is not what you mean by mighty."

Zhang Yubai couldn't help laughing, "I'm not a real man anymore. There are already tens of thousands of people like me who went to guard the border. Countless soldiers of the Yan Kingdom were like this in the past. I'm very ordinary."

"That's a lot of big men!"

The boatman's words were a bit vulgar, but his feelings were still very sincere.

"Young man, are you afraid of death!"

"Afraid of death? Ha, how could I be afraid of death. In this land, those who are afraid of death are always the first to die." Zhang Yubai shook his head.

"Great man!" The boatman exclaimed loudly, "I ask you, young man, are you married?"

"Never."

"Big man!"

"...What does this have to do with a man?"

"I didn't get married because I was worried about hurting my relatives...Dear man! Presumably, you are so talented and handsome, you must have had a relationship long ago, but it's just that you are suffering from border guards and will be separated! Such a resolute decision, but also sad, big man Ah man."

"...Old man, you are thinking too much. I just can't find a partner."

Zhang Yubai blushed slightly.

Probably in the heart of the boatman, all the men who go to the frontier are top-notch men.

Zhang Yubai was also a little emotional.

It is not that he has never been to Yumen, and everything there is indeed worthy of such praise.

Thinking that he was about to become a part of Yumen, Zhang Yubai was also very emotional.

But all of this is not absolutely voluntary, so can I really be considered a man?I just acted bravely when I learned that I was going to Yumen, that's all.

Eight or nine of the ten men who went to Yumen to guard the border will never come back.

Zhang Yubai thought about it and decided to chat with the boatman.

"Old man, have you met anyone who used to guard the border?"

"My own son is!"

The boatman said, "I have a relative in Shangshu, and his son has also gone. I heard that he is doing well... that is my son, who died on the weapons of the enemies outside the territory! I heard that those thieves are very Difficult to deal with, one is worth ten! But we Yan people are not bad."

Talking about the death of his son, the boatman showed no trace of sadness on his face.Perhaps in the long years, he has been relieved.

"Oh......."

Under such circumstances, Zhang Yubai didn't want to ask any more questions.He just nodded his head faintly, staring at the hazy night casually, thinking about something.

Sister Nian also went to Yumen back then... How was her life there?However, I remember that Sister Nian went there as a master at that time, so she must be definitely not an ordinary soldier.

Going by yourself should start with soldiers.

The Ministry of Rituals was not too harsh, and the stipulated time limit for border guards was ten years.

ten years......

Another decade.

Zhang Yubai smiled wryly.

How many decades can I have?

Although he heard that his lifespan would be longer than that of ordinary people, Zhang Yubai did not have the relief faced by those real longevity species.

But there is always a force in his heart that makes him forget these troubles.

Is it because we reunited with Nian?

That's probably right...

He still remembered that morning more than ten years ago, outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the sky was full of green grass.The warm wind blows the willows, the sound of the flute remains, the scorching sun, the mountains beyond the mountains.Together with his master Long Shuwen, he embarked on the road of traveling through Yan Kingdom.

The ups and downs of the past ten years have turned him into another person. In Nian's terms, he is no longer the little unicorn he used to be.

I still remember that fortune teller said that he had some kind of power or something... I don't know if it is true or not.Anyway, the lone star of Tiansha is the real lone star of Tiansha.If everything he said was right, maybe he could really be a part-time official in Yumen.

Not bad, isn't it?

On a winter night, the moonlight is dim, as if separated by a layer of mist, the ground is deserted.The pale moonlight makes people feel desolate. Looking at the moonlight that is no longer like water, the gentleness of thoughts passing through the mood spreads like fog, lingering for a long time, and finally drifting away with an impatient sigh.

Zhang Yubai paused.

Different routes lead to the same goal...

As soon as people calm down, they will think about it, so he thought about Qin Siyi.

It is true that I and Qin Siyi have reached the same goal by different routes.They are all running for some irreplaceable things, even putting their own lives in it.

Do you regret it?

He has no regrets.

When facing Lin Shanbao, he really wanted to save the person who was willing to give everything for the victims from the bottom of his heart.She's funny, pathetic even, and has her share of hate, but is generally a "good guy."

Of course, this is undoubtedly very subjective.

Zhang Yubai himself couldn't say that he was a good person, let alone Qin Siyi's.

Running so far in the orange cloud of treacherous waves, Zhang Yubai, a well-known rookie at Si Sui Tai, is going to defend the border now!

"Come back from the border...you might get a better chance."

This is what Nian told himself.

This is probably not a word of consolation, but a fact.

Zhang Yubai had indeed met many people who were promoted after returning from the border guards.

Will I do the same?

What he wants is actually no honor, what he wants is a chance for revenge!If you want revenge, you must be infinitely close to the enemy's position, and now the gap between them is too far.

Ah yes!
