Chapter 244: Retirement


At the third watch, the three of them returned to the sky above Luzhou, looking at a few fires in Luzhou City, Mo Wen almost didn't have the courage to float to the ground, there were only more than 1,000 people left in the 20,000 army at this time, and he didn't know how to face the remaining people.

"There are no houses in the city, so you and Lao Wu should go back to the cave where Hei San lived before and rest for the night."

Mo Wen said to Ah Jiu.

"Okay, we'll pick you up at three o'clock tomorrow.

It's not your fault, and you don't blame yourself too much.

Ah Jiu guessed what he was thinking based on Mo Wen's expression.

Mo Wen nodded, jumped off the back of the bat, and the fifth took Ah Jiu and flew to the northwest.

"The real person is back" As soon as Mo Wen landed, a soldier spotted him and loudly informed his comrades and companions in the city.

The soldiers scattered all over the city gathered towards Mo Wen.

A lieutenant ran to Mo Wen and looked at him happily, then turned around and shouted happily to everyone, "I'll just say, the real person is immortal, and it will never be fine." ” The soldiers present cheered in unison when they heard the words, Mo Wen was their backbone, as long as Mo Wen was there, there was hope in their hearts.

"If it wasn't for the real person who led away Yan Jun last night, we would all die there, and we wouldn't kowtow to the real person."

The lieutenant who spoke turned around and knelt down and led the crowd to kowtow.

Seeing this, Mo Wen's heart warmed, and he took a few steps forward to help the captain, and then turned to everyone and said, "Everyone, please get up." ” Hearing this, everyone stood up straight, gathered around Mo Wen, and waited for him to speak.

"Poor Dao has forced Murong Hongjiao to withdraw from Xiongzhou, you guys pack up and go to the West Mountain of Xiongzhou early tomorrow morning to bury the bones of our soldiers and then set off to return to your hometown."

Mo Wen said to everyone.

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard this, but when they reacted, they let out an earth-shattering cheer again.

"What's your name" Mo asked the lieutenant, several generals did not appear here, they must have all died in the battle last night, this person should be the highest ranking among the survivors.

"Back to the real person, the last general Lin Sheng, is the captain of the Qipin Pavilion."

The lieutenant in his thirties bowed and replied.

"Lin Tingwei, take a step to speak."

Mo asked.

"Real person please."

Hearing this, Lin Tingwei raised his hand and pointed westward, Mo Wen stepped forward, Lin Tingwei followed behind, walked a few steps faster than Mo Wen after leaving the crowd, led the way from the front, and after a while, led Mo Wen to a dilapidated house, which was where the Huotou Army had previously cooked.

"Is there any news in Huzhou?"

Mo Wenchong asked Lin Tingwei, who was making a fire.

"I sent a scout to inquire about the news during the day today, and I drove him back and didn't let him into the city."

Lin Tingwei turned around and said.

Mo Wen saw that Lin Tingwei's flint had not been sparked, so he drew a fire talisman to ignite the firewood under the stove, "Find pen and ink for me, there should still be a letter bird in the eagle shed, and your Hai Dongqing brought it." ” The latter nodded in agreement and turned to run.

After a while, he brought a Hai Dongqing, "The last general is incompetent, and he has not found pen and ink." ” "It's okay."

Mo Wen waved his hand at him, turned to take a piece of purple rune paper, and wrote after a moment of silence, "The poor Dao Tianshuzi led the army to the east, which lasted three years, fought forty-one battles, and restored nineteen states. ” Writing that the rune paper was full here, Mo Wen groaned slightly, and after a while, he took the rune paper and added, "All the soldiers under his command are sent back." ” After writing, Mo Wen handed the two runes to Lin Tingwei, who took the rune paper and rolled it up and put it into the letterhead on Haidong Qing's legs, and went out to release it.

"Lin Tingwei, this Golden Seal of the Protector of the Country is bothering you to bring it back to Yecheng and send it to the Taiwei Mansion."

Mo Wen untied the cloth bag with the gold seal from his waist, raised his hand and handed it to Lin Tingwei.

"Real person, you are" Lin Tingwei didn't dare to take it in confusion.

Mo Wen put the golden seal of protecting the country in Lin Tingwei's hand, and then untied the green feather crane on his body, "This cloak is also bothering you to return Princess Yu's beggar wing Agu Zhen." ” "If the princess asks, how will she reply" Lin Tingwei held the golden seal and the crane as if holding two hot potatoes.

Mo Wen didn't speak, but after thinking about it for a long time, he took the talisman paper and wrote, "You, a vicious woman with a heart like a poisonous scorpion, if you don't have a poor way to say something first, you will definitely be skinned and broken." ” "Seal it with wax before handing it to her."

Mo Wen handed the folded rune paper to Lin Tingwei.

"Order."

Lin Tingwei took the talisman paper and bowed down to agree.

"Bury the corpses of the fallen soldiers, and immediately lead the people to leave here, with the Golden Seal of Protecting the Country, you are not under the control of Huzhou."

Mo Wen said that Murong Hongxiang's withdrawal from Xiongzhou was just an expedient measure, and he was bound to make a comeback after he left, the main force of the Yan army was still there, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Zhao army could not hold Xiongzhou at all.

"Yes," Lin Tingwei agreed again.

"Let's go down."

Mo Wen waved his hand at Lin Tingwei.

Lin Tingwei bowed and retreated, Mo Wen left the stove, lifted his breath and swept up the north city wall, and was stunned from the city tower, the words he wrote to Shi Zhen earlier were not what he thought in his heart, he didn't hate Shi Zhen in his heart, he also knew that he should hate, but he couldn't hate, no matter what mistakes Shi Zhen made, he couldn't erase the fact that Shi Zhen had been with him for three years.

The reason why he wanted to write those cruel words was actually out of kindness, if Shi Zhen knew that he didn't hate her, Shi Zhen would feel guilty and regret, and guilt and regret would last for a long time, although Shi Zhen hurt him, he didn't want Shi Zhen to suffer, so he would write those cruel words, Shi Zhen saw those words, he would think that he had no bearing, he would look down on him, and his heart would not be too sad.

In addition to this reason, there is a deeper reason, that is, women want to maintain a perfect image in front of the man they like, if the dark side is discovered by a man, most women will choose to escape, will look for the man's subtle shortcomings and expand them infinitely, in order to persuade themselves to give up this man who sees through her true face, to find a man who does not understand her to continue to maintain a perfect image, driven by this mentality, Shi Zhen will soon forget him.

His previous letter was to give Shi Zhen a reason to hate him, so that Shi Zhen could convince himself to give up and forget.

What Taoists value the most, what they have been seeking all their lives is a degree, a degree between yin and yang, heaven and earth, right and wrong, Mo Wen knows very well that his message to Shi Zhen is a mistaken move, if Ah Jiu knows that he has done this, he will inevitably be dissatisfied with him, Ah Jiu understands him, knows that he wrote that letter not out of hatred, Ah Jiu is very smart, and he can understand his intention to do this in a flash, so he is not ready to tell Ah Jiu about this matter, husband and wife need sincerity, but this sincerity is not unreserved, As long as it is not a matter of principle, there is no need to take the initiative to say some inconsequential things without the other party asking.

People have a subconscious of self-protection and self-exculpation, and Mo Wen is no exception, but he did not deceive himself and blamed himself for his soft-heartedness for the previous letter, deep reflection, the reason for his soft-hearted heart is because he has feelings for Shi Zhen, Shi Zhen's method of obtaining his feelings is very simple and difficult, she has paid three years, and time constitutes a person's life, so giving time for a person is the best way to express sincerity second only to giving his life for him.

Although he has feelings for Shi Zhen, Mo Wen didn't feel that it was a betrayal of Ah Jiu, because Shi Zhen didn't move him, what really moved him was the three years, if there was another woman by his side in the past three years, he would still have feelings for him, but this kind of long-term affection is not the same as the feelings given by the gods, the former can be calculated and measured, and the latter does not care about gains and losses at all, his feelings for Ah Jiu are the latter.

The courage to face one's shortcomings and reflect deeply can keep people awake, not confused, peaceful, and know what they really want.

On the fourth watch of the next day, the north and south gates of Xiongzhou City were opened, and the Yan army in the city could be seen from a distance was withdrawing, Murong Hongxiang made a smart choice, if she stuck to Xiongzhou, 50,000 war horses would be the first to be scared to death by Lao Wu, and then the Yan army would suffer a catastrophe.

At the fifth watch, there was movement in Huzhou, and the cavalry went out of the city to Xiongzhou.

The soldiers in Luzhou City also began to leave the city to the north, they did not go to enter Xiongzhou, they went to bury the corpses.

The soldiers left, Luzhou became an empty city again, Mo Wen stood in the east of the city tower and looked at the rising sun, and the recovery of the three counties weighed on him like a thousand catties of burden, and today he can finally unload the burden.

At three o'clock, Lao Wu lost Ah Jiu and flew quickly from the northwest mountains, and hovered at a low altitude in front of him, and Mo Wen jumped on the back of the bat lightly.

"Things are taken care of," Ah Jiu asked.

"Let's take a look at Bear State."

Mo Wen nodded and said.

When the fifth heard the words, he fluttered his wings and flew north, hovering over Xiongzhou, Mo Wen looked down, and saw that the Zhao army in Huzhou was wantonly cleaning up the "remnants" in the city, but in fact, at this time, the Yan army had all withdrawn from Xiongzhou, how could there be any remnants for them to clean up, and what they did at this time was just a livelihood of robbing houses.

"Go to Shanbei."

Mo Wen looked down for a moment, and said to Lao Wu again.

Lao Wu vibrated his wings and flew over the mountain beam, only to see that a large number of Yan troops had already set up camp in the north of the mountain, and he had no intention of leaving at all, and he would attack the city again in a few days.

Mo Wen let out a long sigh when he saw this, the battle of the past three years was almost in vain, and without him in charge, Yan Guo would soon be able to fight back.

"In recent years, Zhao Guo has sold his wife and children a lot, and he has rarely seen starvation on the roadside."

Ah Jiu guessed the reason for Mo Wen's sigh and spoke comfortingly.

"Let's go."

Mo Wen nodded and said.

Lao Wu wanted to turn his head when he heard this, but the neck of the giant bat he changed was too short to turn back.

"Where are you going?"

asked Ah Jiu.

Mo Wen didn't answer immediately, at this time, Xiao Yulan and Huang Yilang should be on their way to Wulongling, but they can't meet them immediately, because they need to prepare some things for entering the tomb.

Besides, he hadn't been back to Middle-earth for a long time, and he wanted to go back and see it.

"Let's go back to Nameless Mountain first, you've never been there before."

Ah Jiu suggested.

"Okay, go to Nameless Mountain."

Mo Wen smiled and nodded.

Hearing this, the fifth child fluttered his wings and flew westward.

As soon as he left the boundary of Xiongzhou, an auspicious cloud suddenly appeared in the sky, and above the auspicious cloud stood an elderly heavenly official wearing a yellow soap coat, "Tianshuzi, stay and listen to the edict":
