The sunset is extremely beautiful, but it is almost dusk...

Fenglang City at dusk no longer has the bustling vitality of the past, and it still exudes a stream of sadness and loneliness that is invisible to the past.

In the empty school ground in the city, there were no familiar figures of the Meng family army again.

Once there was laughter and joy, and there was once the war songs unique to the northwest border resounding here.

It used to be not too far...

Every time the war songs rise at dusk, the men who are far away from their hometowns are shining their youthful blood, protecting the territory, and protecting the peace of the country of Chiang.

They used to gather by the campfire in the schoolyard, drinking strong wine and watching the rays of the sky, fantasizing about their bright future...

Success and fame, return to their hometown. As they think about it, they will be immersed in their hometown in their dreams.

...

The west sky gradually became dark, and Sima Mao, the highest commander of the 100,000 wolf cavalry in the Dalu Empire, quietly left the central army's tent at this moment.

Sima Mao quickly left the west gate of Fenglang City with only two guards.

What is amazing is that these two personal guards did not carry weapons.

However, these two personal guards, who had always held a knife in the past, were twisting a huge food box.

They followed Sima Mao carefully, and did not dare to be too fast or too slow. They must always maintain the same pace as Sima Mao.

Sima Mao was carrying his hands on his back, but at this moment he seemed to be worried. His steps were sometimes faster and sometimes slower, which made the two guards following him hard.

The night is approaching, and the lights around are gradually lit up, and Sima Mao is still walking forward.

"Well...it should be here."

Next to a dead tree affected by the war, Sima Mao suddenly stopped, his tone was extremely slow and heavy.

The two guards suddenly stopped their steps, and they stood side by side behind Sima Mao, with their waists straight.

Although the two guards were very confused, their young faces seemed particularly calm.

...

Before leaving the city, Sima Mao ordered them to take the food box and go to the same place with him. As for where to go? What to do? Sima Mao didn't say that, and as a guard, he naturally didn't dare to ask more questions.

After a moment of silence, one of the two guards, who was standing on the right seemed to guess the purpose of Sima Mao's trip.

Driven by the young man's curiosity, the guard finally couldn't help but whisper tentatively and trembled: "Report to the Grand Sima Mao, this is the place where the Meng family army buried its bones."

His tone was extremely slow, as if there was a fish bone stuck in his throat, a fish bone that could kill him at any time.

When Sima Mao heard this, he was obviously stunned for a while. He then slowly turned around and stared at the guard who had already kneeled down to the ground. Sima Mao suddenly had a faint smile on his serious cheek.

"A pretty smart kid, get up! You didn't make any big mistakes. Wouldn't it be cold when you kneel on the ground? At night, the cold air in the cold snowy area will seep through."

Sima Mao's face suddenly showed the kindness and kindness that an old man should have.

"Thank you, Sima, for not blaming you for your kindness."

The guard immediately stood up, straightened his back and said loudly.

"You kid... have said that you didn't make any mistakes. Why did I blame you for no reason? Haha... I'm not confused."

Sima Mao smiled and shook his head and sighed bitterly. His eyes immediately glanced at the two guards, and suddenly continued, "You two children have been here to be guards for two or three years, right?"

The two guards nodded together and said in unison: "Report to Grand Sima, we have been serving Grand Sima for three years and five months."

"Oh? You two children actually came to me on the same day?"

Sima Mao looked at the two guards carefully again, with a hint of surprise in his eyes and a tone of excitement.

The two guards nodded to Sima Mao again. They paused for a moment. The guard who had spoken before suddenly said: "We grew up together and joined the army together. We have always admired the Grand Sima, so after joining the army, we applied to be assigned to the Grand Sima to serve them together."

"Oh? You two children have been here to serve me for more than three years. I still don't know what your surname is? Haha, I am really confused." Sima Mao stared at the two guards and smiled.

"Report to the Grand Sima, the youngest surname is Zhang and his name is Jimmy." The guard who spoke earlier replied.

"Report to the Grand Sima, the youngest person is Zhang and Zhang Xi is the youngest person's cousin." Another guard said.

"Zhang Huai? Zhang Han? Yes! Not bad, you brothers have really gotten the names of these. Where is your hometown?"

Sima Mao looked at the two guards in front of him with great interest, smiling.

"Report to the Grand Sima, my little one and my cousin all came to Yuecheng, northwest of my Dalu Empire." Zhang Ying replied with a bright look and aloud.

"Yuecheng? Haha... My hometown is also in Yuecheng. I haven't returned to my hometown for many years to take a look."

Sima Mao's face was still full of smiles. Looking at the two young people in front of him, Sima Mao suddenly felt a sense of intimacy with them.

"The Grand Sima is also from Yuecheng?"

Zhang Jian looked at the old man who had always been stern in front of him in surprise. At this moment, seeing Sima Mao's kind face, he couldn't help but feel joy in his heart and blurted out a word.

Sima Mao nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, fellow villager. Look at your age, you shouldn't be much younger than my nephew, Sima Yun. Alas! That child hasn't had many playmates since he was a child, so I'll allocate you to Yun'er in the future?"

"In the younger generation of young people, Major General Sima is the most popular among the people. The eldest Sima asked the younger brothers to serve Major General Sima. The younger brothers were flattered, and even if they were heartbroken, they would do whatever they could." Zhang Xizhang said excitedly and bowed to Sima Mao.

"Well, it's good, it's very good. Two young fellow villagers took out the wine and food in the food box and worshiped the Meng family army with the old man."

Sima Mao suddenly turned his head and slowly walked to a pile of new soil beside the dead trees. Staring at the pile of new soil, Sima Mao stood silently.

Zhang Xi quickly took out five plates from the food box, and then placed them neatly next to the new mound in front of Sima Mao, and then took out tributes such as fruits and vegetables, desserts and other tributes from the food box, and placed them carefully in the tribute plate.

At this time, Zhang Dan also opened the food box in his hand, and there were three jars of fine wine. He took out a jar of fine wine, skillfully opened the wine seal, and immediately handed it to Sima Mao.

Sima Mao smiled slightly, looked at Zhang Xi and Zhang Han and said loudly: "You two brothers took a jar of fine wine and gave the Meng family army a bowl of wine together."

The two brothers Zhang Xi and Zhang Chiang received the order, each taking a jar of wine, and stood side by side behind Sima Mao.

Sima Mao raised the wine jar and said loudly: "The heroic souls of the Meng family army, the great Sima of the Dalu Empire, have always admired you all your passion and passion. Here I would like to pay a bowl of wine for you all, and I wish you all your heroic souls to rest in peace."

After saying this, Sima Mao immediately raised the wine jar to his mouth, and took a generous sip of wine first. Then he slowly and evenly sprinkled the wine in the wine jar next to the new soil.

Zhang Xi and Zhang Hang followed Sima Mao’s imitation and sprinkled the wine beside the new soil with a devout expression.

Suddenly, a brilliant and brilliant light shone in the sky not far from the southeast direction.

The area within a radius of dozens of miles was instantly illuminated by this dazzling brilliance like daylight.

The gorgeous brilliance is sometimes like a huge butterfly, dancing in the night sky.

Sometimes it turns into a terrifying beast, spreading its teeth and claws in the sky.

"Sima, look, the vision finally appears."

Zhang Dan was very excited at this moment. He pointed to the sky in the southeast and was stunned by the strange phenomenon in the night sky for a moment.

Sima Mao and Zhang Xi were staring at the sudden scene in the southeast direction at this moment. Sima Mao stroked his beard and sighed: "The magical axe and magnificent, magnificent."

The next second, the gorgeous light disappeared instantly, and the earth was once again shrouded in the night.

"Let's go back quickly." Sima Mao's eyes remained in the southeast sky, but darkness had returned to it.
