Chapter 873 Hopeless City (141)
"I'll be back."
The man who had been silent suddenly said something. When he raised his head, he looked at the sky in the imperial capital. It was as clear as water and as blue as the sea. A gentle breeze was blowing. Even though winter was about to enter, it was still slightly cool and mostly comfortable. Rarely cold.
His words made Jun Ke's face change slightly, but he soon regained his composure as if relieved.
"I finally understand. You are going to be at odds with Longka, aren't you?"
Jun Li was silent again, but Jun Ke was used to it.
"Okay, take good care of yourself when you get there. I'm in the city and will help you find out her whereabouts."
When he talked about her, Jun Ke was keenly aware that his brother's aura was becoming lower and lonely.
"Hey..."
There was no way, the two of them were wrong from the beginning. She tried to dissuade them, but it was of no use.
They were originally separated by heaven and earth, but they still managed to meet in this way. So what if Jun Li helped her clear her name now? The dead person is not here, and she cannot be resurrected when the truth comes out.
If Jun Li continues to persist, he will suffer a lot in his life.
The carriage was sent outside the city, and the sinner had to dismount and walk forward on his own.
The person who escorted him to the border was a military colonel. After the colonel said goodbye to Jun Ke, he followed Jun Li and the whole team set off north.
The colonel did not regard Jun Li as a sinner, but remained as respectful as ever. The food and drink expenses on the way to the border were all admiral-standard. A month later, the team reached the border.
"Here is the third line of defense on the border thirty years ago, but it has been abandoned long ago, and the first line of defense on the border will continue to be twenty miles deep. The emperor ordered that the general only needs to stay at the third line of defense. Yes.”
The border is still cold and windy, and those with weak bodies cannot reach here safely. Everyone has put on winter clothes, but they still feel the biting cold all over their bodies. The weapons in their hands are getting cold quickly. When they are held in their hands, the coldness that invades the bone marrow is first felt in the palms of their hands. , but soon became unconscious again.
Jun Li stood on the border, looking at the endless desert ice fields. Suddenly, he lowered his eyes and looked at the ground he stepped on. This was the place she had walked before.
"General, please rest first."
This is a barren land on the border. Staying here is no different from being in jail. The colonel has been prepared to endure it for a year or two. Now it is better to settle down quickly and make a fire to keep warm.
For the next whole year, Jun Li stayed in this wasteland. His footprints covered the entire thirteen defense lines of the border, and he would even continue to go deeper, exploring deeper into the ice and snow plain.
No one knew what he was going to do. The team that came with him went from being uncomfortable at the beginning to having fun in the end, and a year passed quickly.
The originally stern general, perhaps because of some setbacks, would either go out for a day and not come back, or hide in his tent for three days. There would often be a slight smell of gunpowder in his tent. Everyone knows that. , the general is making gunpowder weapons.
Everyone in the military camp knew that the general was very familiar with these hot weapons. The new gunpowder developed by Jun Li was indispensable to the fact that Longka could still maintain its position as the largest country.
He was brave, resourceful and good at developing weapons, so the emperor naturally valued him. Otherwise, how could he let a young man in his early twenties take the position of general.
Perhaps, he wanted to use these weapons to regain the emperor's trust.
