Ji Ling and Zhu Yong finally escaped to the dense forest on the mountain, and in order to save their lives, they took off the dazzling general's armor and changed into two clothes of Wara soldiers at the same time.
It's a bit embarrassing, but if you are not in the current situation, you can't understand the helplessness when they make such a move, after all, life is more real than face when no one is around.
"Ji Ling, along this is the Wuding River, but now it should have been ......occupied by Wara" Zhu Yong, who was almost sixty years old, took off his glamorous armor at this time, and was no longer as majestic as before, even like a drooping old man, "But you can use it to judge the direction, and then return to the camp to report the news." ” "Cheng Guogong, aren't you going with me?"
Ji Ling couldn't help but chuckle in his heart when he heard Zhu Yong's tone, "The two of us can take care of each other......
"No......"
Zhu Yong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Tens of thousands of troops died at the hands of the enemy, I have no shirk responsibility, and I will be a laughing stock for others when I go back, I ......
I have no shame to say goodbye to the Holy One!
” "Chengguo Gong, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!"
Ji Ling was in a hurry, so he grabbed Zhu Yong's sleeve, "What's more, this time it's completely Liu Seng's bastard, I can testify!"
” "It's useless......"
Zhu Yong pushed Ji Ling's hand away, and then couldn't help but let out a few hot breaths, "I'm guilty anyway, after all, I'm the commander of the army......"
"This is retribution!"
Zhu Yong turned his back, and his voice suddenly choked a little, "I have been cautious for more than ten years, and I have been welcoming Wang Zhen's traitor from time to time, but I didn't expect it to ...... in the end."
"It's my fault, it's me who is too cowardly, it's me who is incompetent, I deserve to die!
I can't escape the blame for my death, but ......
Can ......"
"Chengguo Gong, the emperor will forgive you......"
Ji Ling heard the meaning of suicide in Zhu Yong's words, and couldn't help but feel anxious, "The battle is indeed lost......
But sin does not lead to death, such as Shi Heng, and the emperor only demoted his official position. ” "It's different."
Zhu Yong glanced at Ji Ling gratefully, but his eyes were full of loneliness, "I am fifty-nine years old this year, in fact, I don't care about my life when I live to my age, what I value more is actually some other things......
"The emperor may not execute me, but the civil officials in the court will definitely not let me go, after all, it is a major matter of dereliction of duty and defeat, and to some extent, it will also put the emperor's army in danger, you must know that most of the cavalry is in our hands."
"Even if I go back alive, I will definitely be deprived of my military power, and I will have to endure all kinds of white eyes and humiliation, maybe......
Maybe even Yi'er will not be able to raise her head with me, and our entire Zhu family will be finished. ” "But......
If I die on the battlefield, I will not be stripped of my title, and Yi'er will be able to take over the honor of the family from me and hold it in her own hands. ” It turned out that everything was for the sake of his children and grandchildren, and for the family, Ji Ling understood Zhu Yong's thoughts, but he also experienced infinite sadness from them.
"Cheng Guogong, all this is really ......
Is it really worth it?
I guess Zhu Yi doesn't want you to ...... like this."
"In the future, you and Zhu Yi will support each other well!"
Zhu Yong didn't answer Ji Ling's words, but patted Ji Ling's shoulder instead, "I can't protect you anymore!"
” "Chengguo Gong......"
Ji Ling's voice was a little choked unconsciously, "I can't explain to Zhu Yi." ” "You......
Oh, yes......
It's time to give him an explanation!
I should give Yi'er an explanation......"
Zhu Yong said, then ripped off a piece of cloth from the collar of his underwear, and then bit his finger and wrote: Dad has no regrets when he dies, and the honor of the Zhu family is tied to you.
"Here, give this to Yi'er for me......"
Zhu Yong rolled up the cloth and then stuffed it into Ji Ling's hand, "If he asks, you will tell him the facts, so that he must learn my lesson!"
” Ji Ling took the cloth, but his hand couldn't stop trembling a little, "Is this the only sentence?"
Is there anything else I need to explain to Zhu Yi?
” "That ......"
Zhu Yong thought for a while, then unfolded the cloth strip and added four words to it: Don't make mistakes.
The meaning is very clear, he doesn't want Zhu Yi to do wrong things because of himself.
"Okay, I'll give it to Zhu Yi."
Ji Ling said, and was about to reach out to pick up the strip of cloth, but Zhu Yong seemed to suddenly think of something, and pulled his hand back and said, "I'll add another sentence!"
” Zhu Yong did not shy away from Ji Ling at this time, and Ji Ling watched Zhu Yong solemnly add four words to it: live well.

"It's too late!
That's enough!
Zhu Yong said, then stuffed the cloth into Ji Ling's hand, and then pulled his arm and said, "Let's go, I'll escort you back to deliver the news immediately!"
” Ji Ling let Zhu Yong pull him at this time, and only the last four words written by Zhu Yong were left in his mind: Live well, is this a father's last expectation for his son?
When our parents were there, they would always urge us to do this and that, and teach us that we must be capable people, but we don't know that all of this is actually for one purpose: to let us live well.
"Ji Ling, after getting off this ridge, you will go to the southeast......
Zhu Yong said, and pointed out the way to Ji Ling, "Don't look at what we are going around, in fact, it is a road of dozens of miles, and if you go forward, you should be able to find Leijia Station." ” "It's not dark yet, you try to pick a small path to walk, and when it gets dark, you hurry to Leijia Station, it shouldn't be difficult to find a war horse on the road......"
Zhu Yong said, and he noticed a strange movement behind him, so he hurriedly pushed Ji Ling, "Hurry up, it seems that someone is catching up!"
” Zhu Yong said, and ran down with Ji Ling, the dry bushes scratched his body, rubbing his face, and the end of his nose was full of grassy smell, but Ji Ling couldn't feel the pain anymore.
"Remember, if there is danger for a while, you can run quickly, the old man's task now is to protect you!"
Zhu Yong said, then grabbed Ji Ling's wrist, "Do you see the river in front, let's run over there, and then find a path in that direction......"
Ji Ling listened to Zhu Yong's arrangement in such a daze, until he stumbled and didn't know how many distances he had walked out, and Zhu Yong suddenly attached to Ji Ling's ear and said, "Do you know how to swim?"
” "Will ......"
Ji Ling didn't think much about it, and nodded directly subconsciously, but was suddenly pushed by Zhu Yong, "Then go down!"
Swim to the south, and come out as soon as it gets dark!
” Zhu Yong said that, he turned around and ran in the other direction, and not far away were a few Warat soldiers, who were desperately pursuing this side.
"He's protecting himself, he's going to attract enemy soldiers for himself!"
Ji Ling's body was already half submerged in the river at this time, and tears flowed down uncontrollably, he wanted to turn back to save Zhu Yong, although this sounded heroic, it was actually stupid, because that would waste his sacrifice.
A fierce man plunged into the river, Ji Ling felt a coldness, he didn't expect that the first battle he participated in in his life only taught him how to escape, of course, it also made him understand the cruelty of war and the price of stupidity......
