Chapter 21 Taiping

Sun Ruoyu asked, "Where are you going to take me?"

"There is a sycamore tree on Wutong Mountain that has lived for five hundred years. I heard that it is very effective, so I want to go and have a look."

Sun Ruoyu suddenly remembered the words of the third brother in the earthen house at that time. There was a sacred tree on Wutong Mountain, and many people were praying.

Sun Ruoyu couldn't help but laugh and said in a hilarious way: "Do you want to pray?"

Li Yan nodded slightly, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Sun Ruoyu seemed to be so, and said Lei Ran: "So, is it effective?"

Hearing Sun Ruoyu's words, Li Yan was silent for a while before whispering: "General, I am just a little man."

Sun Ruoyu was silent, yes, little people, what power does the little people have to change? All they can do is pray.

He couldn't help asking, "What do you want to pray for?"

"I'll know when the general arrives."

The two of them walked quietly on the winding mountain road.

...

...

Sun Ruoyu and the giant tiger were fighting by the river. Sun Ruocheng, who was riding on the war horse, looked at the scene in front of him thoughtfully. The collapsed trees were full of scary claws and scratches. The surrounding trees broke a large area, almost clearing out a bare open space.

Sun Ruocheng asked, "Is this the power of that ferocious beast, the tiger?"

General Yan's expression did not change at all when he saw this scene, and replied: "The mountain tiger can only be called a third-rate ferocious beast. He has no extraordinary power except for the breathing knife, Feiteng for a distance."

Deputy General Yi squatted down from the side at this time, stretched out his hand to wipe the blood mud on the ground and put it under his nose to smell it, and said, "This is the blood of the ferocious beast. The amount of bleeding is not enough to kill the mountain tiger. It should be that he injured the mountain tiger after fighting with the mountain tiger, and then took the initiative to evacuate it."

"This ferocious beast should not pose a life threat to him, right?" Sun Ruocheng asked.

General Yan shook his head slightly, "With his strength, this ferocious beast is just going to die."

General Yan, who said this, suddenly remembered the scene where Sun Ruoyu did not catch the sword, his eyes twitched slightly, and added: "But maybe."

Sun Ruocheng said: "Then where did he go?"

After a while, Deputy General Yi came back to report: "Young Master, General, there are no signs of him evacuation around him."

General Yan slowly walked to the river and stared at the turbulent river for a while, "Maybe it was from the river."

...

...

Four hours later, Sun Ruoyu looked at the top of the mountain in front and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He climbed up the mountain for about four hours. Li Yan didn't even have a rest in the middle. This weak woman was really amazing.

Sun Ruoyu, who was leaning on a stick, opened his mouth and said, "You are in good health."

Li Yan glanced at Sun Ruoyu, "The general is not bad. He has so many injuries on his body, but he can still do this."

Sun Ruoyu grinned. He could say that he had not stopped even when he saw Li Yan. If he was a big man, he would not be too embarrassed if he was not as good as this weak woman. He had been holding on along the way, and the wounds on his body were so painful.

He looked light and calm, "It is common for marching and fighting, physical injuries, and he is used to it."

"Oh?" Li Yan said curiously: "Then general, why are you sweating so much on your face?"

This is all painful!

Sun Ruoyu said without changing his expression: "I have depression in my body, so I moved my body a little while walking, and then I sweated."

Li Yan didn't say much. When the two of them arrived at the top of the mountain, the sun had already set. The dim afterglow shone on Sun Ruoyu, dyeing him a layer of golden color. The unfiery sunlight made him warm all over, and even his wounds felt numb.

He looked at the towering tree growing on the edge of the cliff in front of him. The studs were extremely thick. He saw about four adults hugging such a thick and thin. The dense branches were covered with wooden signs tied with red ropes. When the wind blew, the wooden signs could hear the crisp sound of collisions.

Sun Ruoyu sighed that this sycamore tree stood on the top of the mountain for hundreds of years, and was still tenacious after being exposed to wind and sun. It is really commendable.

He asked, "Is this the sacred tree on Wutong Mountain?"

Li Yan stared at the sycamore tree in a daze. After a while, he took out a wooden sign from his arms. Sun Ruoyu looked carefully. Although the words on it were not simplified, he understood the meaning.

Taiping!

Sun Ruoyu's heart was silent for a moment. Seeing Li Yan interspersing the red rope, she hung the wooden sign on the branches with a little effort. After tied it firmly, Li Yan took a few steps back and looked at the wooden sign shaking in the wind. She slowly stretched her figure, danced an unknown dance, and opened her lips lightly.

"Bar bamboo poles and fish for Qi. Wouldn't you think? Don't you think about it far away. The source of the spring is on the left, the water on the right. A woman has a journey, and her brothers and parents are far away. The Qi water is on the right, and the water is on the left. A clever smile is on the turtle, a Nuo wearing jade. A cypress oar, a pine boat. A driving word goes out to express my worries."

Sun Ruoyu looked and listened silently.

Li Yan's singing slowly spread from here, as if the entire Wutong Mountain could be heard. Sun Ruoyu was so upset that he listened to the songs in the Book of Songs.

War is too cruel.

Li Yan, who had repeated the words several times, stopped dancing, and was already in tears at this moment. She turned her head and looked at Sun Ruoyu, and smiled, "General, will the world be peaceful?"

Sun Ruoyu opened his mouth, but found that he could not speak any words he wanted to comfort. After a while, he whispered: "The world's general trend will be divided after a long time of unity, and long time of division will be combined, which is nothing more than this."

Li Yan smiled bitterly on his face, "Then general, can you end such a war?"

How dare Sun Ruoyu make such a promise? He shook his head slightly, "This is not something I can do alone. If you want peace, it will take a long way to go."

After a pause, Sun Ruoyu whispered: "Strictly speaking, I am just a little person, so how can I disturb the world?"

Li Yan was surprised to hear Sun Ruoyu's words, "You are a general, so how can you be impossible?"

Sun Ruoyu was helpless, "Even if he became the king, he would have no choice but to do so."

The two of them looked at the sacred tree silently for a while, then slowly went down the mountain. Looking at Li Yan who was still five meters ahead, Sun Ruoyu was already used to it, and he said, "Where are you going next?"

Li Yan led the horse and walked forward slowly. After a while of silence, she said a little confused: "Whatever you go?"

Sun Ruoyu said: "Zhongwu's country is quite peaceful."

"As long as it is a strong country, the country is peaceful. General, I was born in a small country, and I have never seen peace."

Although Li Yan's words were calm, how could Sun Ruoyu not hear the infinite sadness in it? After a while, he said, "This is your king who is too selfish."

"Selfish?"

"Yes." Sun Ruoyu nodded, "It is better to join a strong country to build a weak country for the sake of his own selfish desires."

Li Yan showed a hint of sarcasm on her face, "Do you think it's possible?"

Sun Ruoyu shook his head slightly, "Power makes people lose their minds."
