Allowing the people of the Wuling Kingdom to enter the territory of the Yu Kingdom, despite the cooperation of Lan Lingxiao and other nobles from the original Wuling Kingdom, this process took several days.

After all, among the small warlock countries outside the country, the Wuling Kingdom suffered the smallest losses, and there was still a large population. When they were preparing to move, they were all packed in big and small bags. They wanted to take everything they could with them.

I brought them all.

Among them, there are also some older people who are reluctant to leave their homeland and are reluctant to leave. Some people are even unwilling to leave even to death.

When the final evacuation was almost complete, Zou Heng and Lan Lingxiao went to check and found that there were still dozens of people in Wuling Kingdom who were not ready to leave.

They are basically all old people who are in their dying years. They have lived here all their lives and are unwilling to leave now. Moreover, they have no children to accompany them, so they don't need to worry about anything.

The entire city was empty. Lan Lingxiao and Zou Heng walked around the city, and finally counted thirty-four people who were unwilling to leave.

Zou Heng noticed that Lan Lingxiao, who was following him, remained silent all the way. Moreover, he did not take the initiative to persuade those people to leave. He just walked forward silently, but his eyes were on

The faces of each person who was unwilling to leave stayed for a long time, as if he wanted to remember their faces in his heart.

Finally, when several people walked to the city gate again, they stopped, because at the city gate, there was an old man with a staggering step, sweeping the street with a broom.

Because most people have left, the street is a mess, filled with all kinds of garbage. The old man standing there, silently cleaning the scene, looks particularly lonely.

After they stood still, the old man also noticed their somewhat cloudy eyes. When he saw Lan Lingxiao, his expression seemed to change slightly. Then, he dropped the broom in his hand and bowed slightly with some difficulty.

He stood up, put his left hand on his chest, and saluted Lan Lingxiao.

Seeing this scene, Lan Lingxiao, who had been silent all the way, finally couldn't help it anymore.

He walked forward step by step, came to the old man's side, grabbed his shoulders, straightened his body, and then said in a low voice.

"Come with us. Wuling Country is gone, but the former citizens are still there. When we get to a new place, life will be the same as before!"

When the old man heard Lan Lingxiao's words, he looked at Lan Lingxiao's face. His cloudy eyes made Lan Lingxiao afraid to look directly, so he could only lower his gaze.

"I don't have many days left to live, so I don't want to leave here. This is my home. I was born here and I will die here in the end. Our Lord, you lead the people to find a way to survive, and we will

Stay here and wait for you to come back one day!"

The old man's voice sounded, and his tone was a little low, which could make people feel the sadness in his heart, but he did not blame Lan Lingxiao, the leader of the country. After all, the decision made by Lan Lingxiao was for the majority of the people of Wuling Kingdom.

able to survive.

After hearing the old man's words, Lan Lingxiao, who lowered his head slightly, lowered his head even further. Zou Heng, who was standing not far from him, noticed that there were two spots of water stains suddenly appearing on the ground under Lan Lingxiao's feet.

The tears he shed.

"Come with me, I don't need you to guard here, I just want you to live!" Lan Lingxiao said with a hint of sobs in his tone.

"Master, we don't want to scatter the ashes on other lands, so let us stay here. We will clean this place and hold a celebration on Christmas Day as we did before, and we will hold a celebration in the spring.

When the time comes, I will sow food on the land outside the city, and I will take turns guarding the palace. I will wish you good health on days when the flowers are in full bloom, and look forward to your return!"

The old man noticed the choking in Lan Lingxiao's words, so he spoke in a very gentle tone.

As he spoke, he stretched out his somewhat rough hand, hesitated for a moment, then put it on Lan Lingxiao's shoulder, patting him gently to comfort him.

When Lan Lingxiao heard what the old man said, he raised his head, with two lines of hot tears on his face, and then turned his eyes to the side, looking at the city that was now in a mess, he opened his mouth, and then spoke in a low voice

The voice spoke.

"I am not worthy to be the leader of the Five Spirit Kingdom. From now on, I don't know if I can come back here. You...!"

Halfway through his words, Lan Lingxiao had no choice but to continue, because if he continued to persuade them at this time, it would be impossible for these old people to leave with him. Instead, it would be better to leave them a thought and let them spend the remaining time with them.

Most of the time, I have some hope of living.

"The king will always be the king of Wuling Kingdom. I believe that one day you will come back here. If you can't wait until that day, forget it!" The old man withdrew his hand and trembled.

He squatted down majestically, picked up the broom, bowed again and saluted Lan Lingxiao, then picked up the broom and continued to clean the street.

Zou Heng stepped forward at this time and looked at Lan Lingxiao who was crying. Zou Heng didn't know how to comfort him. Fortunately, Lan Lingxiao didn't seem to need his comfort at this time.

He turned his head and glanced at Zou Heng, then gritted his teeth and walked out of the city. Zou Heng and the people who came with him also quickly followed. After everyone left the city, Lan Lingxiao, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around, and then his hands

He bent his legs, kowtowed deeply to the city behind him, and did not get up for a long time.

Zou Heng and the people who came with him also looked back at the city behind them. Through the city gate, Zou Heng could clearly see the figure of the old man who was cleaning. Not only him, but also other old people who stayed in the city and were unwilling to leave.

At this time, they also came to the city gate one after another and tidied up together with the old man who was cleaning.

Zou Heng looked up at the top of the city again. He saw an old man with almost all his hair falling out. He was wearing an old armor. He tried his best to straighten his waist and looked down at them.

After a long time, Lan Lingxiao raised his head and stood up quickly. The tears on his face had disappeared. He took one last look at the city in front of him, then turned around and left without looking back.

Zou Heng and others also left, but on the way back, everyone was very silent. The scene in the city just now touched the hearts of the group.

After Zou Heng returned to the border of Yu State, he still thought about those old people who were unwilling to leave. In a once small country, there were now only a few dozen old people left, guarding an isolated city, waiting for death to come.

As for those people from the Wuling Kingdom who have left, Zou Heng believes that most of them are actually not particularly willing to become members of the Yu Kingdom. The reason why they choose to do so is because they did not survive the danger when it came.

It’s just his ability, that’s why he made this choice.

Their choice is just for survival. After all, there is only one life. Most people will instinctively choose to survive when faced with life and death.

If those old people were younger, or even lived another twenty or thirty years, their choices might be different from today!

Dark night fell again. Outside Wuling Kingdom, where Zou Heng had previously placed several large mountains, he stood on the top of the mountain and continued to look forward. What he saw was a piece of scorched earth. This was Zou Heng's previous masterpiece.

But now, there are some evil things coming along this scorched earth to the front of these mountains.

Zou Heng had previously deployed some means to block the evil spirits here. Now as these evil spirits approach, these means are being broken down. Even the mountain peaks are shaking again because of these evil spirits.

Not long after, all the means that Zou Heng had deployed to block the evil spirits were eliminated, leaving only a few mountain peaks standing there, exuding a suppressive mood, resisting the approach of these evil spirits.

, but the existence of these mountain peaks themselves has become precarious, and the repressive artistic conception they exude is naturally unable to resist the evil.

Amidst a rumble, a mountain peak collapsed, and then, from the bottom of the mountain, climbed out a giant made entirely of boulders. His body was a hundred meters high, and his body was entirely made of rocks.

Many places were covered with a layer of moss, and the body exuded a green-black evil aura!

After the rock giant climbed out, he punched a nearby peak with one punch, smashing half of the peak with one punch. Then he turned and smashed another peak next to him, and then smashed another peak.

Beat it to pieces.

After the rock giant smashed two mountain peaks, before it could continue to hit other peaks, another peak began to slowly disappear from top to bottom.

If you look carefully, you will find that there is a group of dark clouds floating in the sky above this mountain peak. The dark clouds are floating there quietly, as if they are not doing anything, but the mountain peak seems to be constantly being swallowed up.

It disappeared little by little.

After these mountain peaks disappeared, the originally weak space leaked out again. At this time, a body was only the size of a palm, and the evil aura exuded from his body had just reached the level of resentment.

Appeared here.

The evil appearance looks like a black eye, showing a greedy emotion. Around the eye, there are dozens of tiny tentacles, which are constantly dancing.

That weak spot in the space suddenly lit up with a ball of golden light. It was the seal arranged by Zou Heng. These evil spirits were breaking Zou Heng's seal, and they didn't use much effort. The golden light there

It begins to dim and then disappears completely.

After the golden light disappeared, a mirror whose surface was covered with cracks and looked very broken appeared there. The mirror reflected a picture of that space, but due to the division of the cracks on the surface, the picture reflected looked fragmented.

However, after the mirror reflected the picture, the space there also began to change. It was like going back in time, and the space incision that had disappeared reappeared there again.

At this time, the evil creature with only the resentment level jumped up in an instant and stuck tightly to the space incision. The greedy eyes revealed a touch of satisfaction, and then there was a trace of contentment in the eyes.
