Chapter 868 Hopeless City (136)
He continued to move forward as if he hadn't heard anything. There was no way these people could stop him. No one dared to take action seriously, and they were no match for Jun Li. In this way, everyone could only watch as Jun Li rushed out on horseback.
Jun Tuwen stood in front of the door, his face livid and breathing heavily.
"Come here, prepare your horses!!"
The roads in the Imperial Capital are so spacious and clean that you won't feel any discomfort even if you run barefoot here.
Jun Li sat on the horse, clamped the horse's belly and ran all the way towards the outside of the city. A team of horses followed closely behind him. Jun Ke on the horse shouted to the cavalry following behind him.
"You all go back, I am enough."
The two of them arrived at the corner of the Hopeless City one after another. Looking at the oppressive and closed dead city in front of them, Jun Li remained silent. He just took two steps back and looked at the already mottled wall. The man raised his feet and rushed over.
Suddenly, an old voice sounded from behind.
"This is a dead city, there is nothing good in it."
Jun Li paused for a moment and looked back. He saw a stooped figure walking through the thin mist. He was like a dead tree standing in the cold wind. If the wind blows, it will break.
The old man walked in, raised his head, his weather-beaten face was criss-crossed with ravines, and there were always some tears hidden in his muddy, weathered eyes. With his trembling steps, he looked at the tall young man in front of him and suddenly smiled. As he laughed, his old body trembled, as if he would fall down at any time.
"Young man, what are you doing here?"
Jun Li looked at his face and asked.
"Who are you?"
"I'm just an old man who is about to die. I live under the corner here. When I saw someone coming, I came over to see if you have anything to ask."
"You are also a soldier, right? Are you... Zhou Ye's soldier?" Jun Li's tone was a little eager, and there was too much sadness in his purple eyes. The old man looked at him, and a flash of light flashed through his cloudy old eyes. Mixed emotions.
"Yes, that's my general... You've heard her story too, right?"
Jun Li didn't answer the question, his voice was urgent.
"Is there anyone else? Does she have other soldiers still alive?"
"No more, only me is left, everything is gone... How many years has it been? The general has been dead for almost thirty years, and I am about to die too. Young man, I have to tell you something, and you should just take it as a joke. Listen. The general Rongma has never done anything to disgrace the empire in his life, that one..."
He pointed to the top of his head, his tone suddenly becoming sad and serious.
"It was the one who deceived her and killed her. It's unfair. There are so many injustices in this world, but this is the only thing that even God can't stand... Hahaha, look, this city It used to be a place with warm weather all year round, but now it’s really cold and windy. Do you know why?”
The old man did not need to answer, as if he was just talking to himself, his hoarse old voice revealing too much powerlessness and sorrow.
"Because there are more than a thousand corpses of loyal souls buried in this city!"
Jun Li's heart was bleeding, and he gritted his teeth. A man who had never felt much sadness in his life was now in unbearable heartache.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he watched the old man continue to walk forward with his body bent, shouting loudly as he walked.
"Forgot it all, forgot it all!!"
The sound echoed under the hopeless city, with a breathless despair.
