Chapter 327: Return to the Great Wall
"Hey, brothers, look, what's going on in the eastern sky? That's the direction of the Great Wall! ”
To the east of the Great Wall, in the 10,000-foot-high Rabbit Fur Mountain, a hunter in a short suit of animal skin stepped on a boulder and used the feather arrow in his hand to reach the sky.
A dozen or so companions who had come with him to hunt looked up at the sky together, and were shocked to see a puff of white wolf smoke rising from that side, as if blown by the wind into a huge hand with outstretched arms, constantly making a "come" gesture to them.
"Is it because of the fighting at the head of the Great Wall, or is it because the Great Wall Guards have sounded the clarion call to regroup?"
The hunters had forgotten the purpose of entering the Rabbit Mountain, and no longer cared about the beasts walking not far away, and they all talked about this unusual signal from the Great Wall.
They are all retired soldiers from the Great Wall Guards, more than ten years have passed, they have grown from teenagers to strong men in their thirties and forties, their hands are more powerful, and they are more fearless in the face of the enemy, but they are in the prime of serving the country loyally, but they have nowhere to serve the country anymore.
These people could not show their ambitions in their chests, and they could not bear to be separated from the brothers who had fought together on the battlefield and were born and died, so they gathered together after the disbandment of the army and found a beautiful mountain and wild place to live an ordinary life.
The team is scattered, these brave warriors have never regarded themselves as ordinary people, they will be the day of being an Orion as a repair, is dormant, although the time is a bit long, but firmly believe that one day they will put on the armor again, re-enter the war horse, and walk on the Great Wall to continue the career of the golden iron horse.
Some people are also thinking that maybe their generation will not be able to wait for the day when the army will assemble again, but this idea is not pessimistic at all, they will keep the armor they have worn and the blades they have used, and intend to pass them on to future generations as ancestral heirlooms, and leave ancestral teachings, no matter which generation the family has multiplied, but all men in the family have the responsibility to take over the relics of their ancestors, respond to the call to enlist in the army, become a member of the Great Wall Guards, and shout together: The Great Wall is here, and the hometown is there!
In the days when the wolf smoke was high, not only the Rabbit Furry Mountain, but also the King Continent from west to east, from south to north, all the places that could look at Guancheng from afar, the same story was happening.
The soldiers of the old guards raised their arms and shouted the assembly order when they saw the wolf smoke like a summoning giant hand, and although there were only tens of thousands of people, they responded to the call with the momentum of a million heroes. And not only Su Lie's old department, but even many ambitious men who have just grown up are not far behind their predecessors, and they have packed their bags to say goodbye to their families and rushed to the Great Wall to defend themselves.
The Guardians of the Great Wall have been resurrected!
======
"It's been almost twenty years since you left here, right? After so many years, why didn't you even think to come back and take a look......"
On the cyan stone road, a tall and strong man walked up. He was wearing the shining general's armor with goggles on his chest, holding the sword at his waist in his left hand and the high-burning Songming torch in his right hand, and every step was so steady and firm.
That general was none other than Su Lie, and as he walked forward, he looked left and right at the scenery on both sides of the Great Wall.
The scenery is as old as ever, and the mountains are green and timeless, always maintaining a youthful color. At this time, the sky was covered with drizzle, and the rain washed the mountains, and that layer of haze broadened people's horizons.
Yes, it rained on the Great Wall, but the rain could not extinguish the burning flame in Su Lie's hands. The wolf dung heaps on the beacon tower everywhere have been lit by Huang Zhao leading the brothers who came first, and at this time he is walking to the last beacon tower, located in Jiayuguan Guancheng, he told Huang Zhao and others that he must personally light the wolf smoke, not only to summon the former soldiers, but also to announce to the sky that he Su Lie is back!
The Great Wall is here, and the hometown is here! Su Lie is here, and the Great Wall will always stand!
After many years, the road has become extremely long, Su Lie knows that in fact, the length of the road has not changed, what has become longer is his heart road, this road in his heart, from the truth-seeking school in the west of Chang'an City to Jiayuguan, he has walked for too long and too long, and once sadly thought that he would not be able to go to the end in this life, and he would not be able to return to his general's mansion.
The wolf smoke on the city of Jiayuguan also floated up, the golden red flames, and the shaking smoke, were so quiet in the whispering, but they represented Su Lie's scream that erupted from his chest, a silent shout!
……
The General's Mansion had been cleaned up by Huang Zhao, who arrived first. Huang Zhao also looked forward to this day for more than ten years, when Su Lie ordered him to climb the Great Wall first, although he didn't know the reason, he was a little disappointed at first, but when he walked back to the place where he had fought with his baggage, and then climbed the rough stone steps one by one, the feeling of hope in his heart was so strong, he thought that the first bonfire on the Great Wall was not ignited by the fire, but by his hope.
However, when the wolf smoke floated everywhere, Huang Zhao still couldn't help but worry. He feared that this hope would eventually turn into an illusion, and that there would never be such a valiant army as the Great Wall Guardians in this world.
Huang Zhao's worries are not unreasonable, now in a peaceful and prosperous era, the emperor has just ascended the throne, singing and dancing in the four seas, a peaceful and prosperous scene, where is the war? Without war, how could the imperial court have the foresight to prepare for the next frontier first?
The former comrades-in-arms came one after another, and soon the Great Wall was bustling with activity. People cheered and celebrated for several days in a row, taking out the fine wine hidden in the ground more than ten years ago and drinking it freely, the slogan "The Great Wall is in the hometown" can be heard everywhere, although Huang Zhao is happy with everyone, his heart is getting heavier and heavier, and he has unspeakable worries.
In the dead of night, he waited at the end of the Great Wall leading to Chang'an City, waiting for the arrival of General Su Lie like a stubborn stone that could never be removed. He believed that he would definitely appear, and he believed that the pen inserted at the head of the Great Wall would always have a sharp nib.
……
Su Lie walked into the general's mansion, and then walked into the main hall for the generals to gather for deliberations, and sat down in the position of the chief general.
Huang Zhao kept following him, keeping his distance step by step. He knew that at this moment, the general's heart was surging, and no one could disturb him.
When he handed over the talisman to the imperial court, the general certainly did not have the feeling of this time, and at that time he probably felt that his heart was dead, and his expectations for the imperial court were also dead, so the silence at that time was really quiet, and the silence of the heart was like stopping water.
But today, the general's heart was resurrected, and soon it would soon rise from the silence, and he would soon order himself to beat the drums of war at the gate of the camp and summon the generals at all levels to come quickly to discuss the matter, so at this critical moment, he must follow the general firmly, and not a single step away.
"General Huang, please come in and speak." Sure enough, it didn't take long for Su Lie's deep voice to break the silence inside and outside the mansion.
"Yes!" Huang Zhao agreed with his head held high, and when he strode in, there was no longer the casualness of being a "chef" in the Zhenxiang Restaurant.
