As the name suggests, the first line of gorge is a canyon between two cliffs, from where the rolling Yuncang River rushes through and falls straight to the plain below, nourishing hundreds of millions of living beings.Standing on the plain not far from the first-line gorge, looking at the spectacular waterfall formed by the river falling straight down from the cliff hundreds of meters high, Li Mufan was full of thoughts for a while."
Your Majesty, the fallen have all been buried."
Fan Qingyue's whisper came from his ears, and he retracted his chaotic thoughts and asked, "How is it?"
”Fan Qingyue said in a low voice: "Fortunately, thanks to the medicine brought by Brother Ah Qiang, many brothers are already fine, and only eighteen people have no time to treat ......"
"Got it, you go and inform everyone to gather here with me." ”"Yes, Your Majesty ......"
After half a pillar of incense, looking at the more than 200 soldiers standing in front of him, Li Mufan was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "I have a thousand brothers in the Sequoia Guard's Battalion, since the chaos in the palace, there are only two hundred and thirty-seven left, ten to seven or eight, how can this king let you sacrifice your lives to protect each other?"
”When Liu Long heard this, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty does not need to blame yourself, it is our mission to protect you, and it is the glory of the brothers to be able to sacrifice for you!"
”Looking at Liu Long and the soldiers of the personal guard battalion, he sighed lightly and said: "I understand the intentions of your brothers, you are all the best warriors in the kingdom, but I am no longer the king......"
"Your Majesty......"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they all knelt down.Zhang Tie shouted loudly: "Your Majesty don't be discouraged, I will kill you back to the royal city even if we die, and help you regain the throne!"
”Everyone shouted at the same time: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
”Looking at the soldiers kneeling below, Li Mufan only felt his heart surging, and his eyes were faintly moist.Seeing that Li Mufan had not expressed his position, Liu Long was in a hurry, and shouted loudly: "If Your Majesty removes the throne, we will not be able to kneel here!"
”Hearing this, the soldiers of the Guards Battalion shouted again: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
”Silence, long silence.After a long time, Li Mufan said slowly: "I am grateful to you for your love, but the identity of the king has passed, and I will not mention it again in the future, from now on, if you don't dislike it, you can call me a young master, and there is no need to bow to me." ”"This ......"
Everyone was obviously hesitant, Liu Long and Zhang Tie wanted to say something, but Li Mufan waved his hand and said: "This matter is so decided, we don't need to mention our previous identities, let's get up." ”Seeing that the soldiers did not move, Li Mufan glared at Liu Long fiercely.Seeing this, Liu Long reacted immediately, and said loudly: "Your Majesty Xie......"
Everyone shouted in unison: "Your Majesty Xie......"
"You ......"
Li Mufan smiled bitterly when he saw that everyone still called himself His Majesty.It's not that he doesn't want to be the king anymore, but this identity is too sensitive, if it is publicized, the Sun and Moon Kingdom will definitely not give up, that is, the Yun Qin Empire, which has already tacitly acquiesced that he is a dead man, will not let him go, since this is the case, it is better to keep a low profile first, and when he has the strength, is it not easy to claim the king?
After shaking his head with a wry smile, his face changed, and he said with a straight face: "Liu Long, take the soldiers to say goodbye to the eighteen brothers!"
”"Yes!"
Liu Long turned around and shouted loudly: "Line up!"
”When everyone heard this, they immediately put away their faint sadness, and lined up into four teams according to the order of previous training."
March salute!""
Whew!"
Everyone raised their swords in unison and looked at the eighteen graves by the river in front of them.In my ears, someone blew the majestic trumpet unique to the barracks, but this was not a charge trumpet, but a lamentation, a lament to bid farewell to comrades......
The sad sound of the horn echoed in the sky above the first line of the gorge, the eyes of the soldiers were already slightly moist, Li Mufan walked to the front of the team step by step, he stared at the tombs of the eighteen heroic spirits, and said in a deep voice: "I, Li Mufan, can't take you to be a victorious minister in my life, and I won't let you be a ghost in another country when I die." ”Taking the bouquet of blooming white flowers handed over by Fan Qingyue, he slowly walked to the front of the grave and put the flowers in front of the grave one by one.()
