Once the Zichuan Kingdom finds a suitable excuse to completely annex the Fenglan Kingdom, their captives will be distributed as spoils of war, and their wives and children will become slaves. The men will either lose their lives or be sent to the slave yard for auction.
There is no other second way out.
Not only Lin Ruhai, but many people imprisoned here are aware of this, but there is nothing they can do about it.
Now they can only place their hope in the hope that someone can come to the rescue, or that the Fenglan Kingdom's army can come to the rescue after receiving the news. Otherwise, they can only wait for their miserable fate in the rest of their lives.
But...will anyone come? Most people have doubts and are extremely depressed.
The rescuers have not come, but quite a few people have been escorted over in the past two days. If this continues, everything will be a foregone conclusion.
...!
At night, Su Junbao had a long dream. In the dream, he returned to the magnificent palace and saw his parents in the image.
When Su Junbao saw the images at ordinary times, he was not much moved except for sadness. But in his dream, he could truly feel the joy, anger, sorrow and joy of everyone in it. He heard his father's unwilling roar, sadness and anger, and also felt
There is that beautiful woman who is selfish, cold and heartless.
In his sleep, Su Junbao shed tears. He only felt inexplicable sadness. The sadness was so real. Why did he hate and want to kill his two closest relatives?
In addition to them, Su Junbao also saw the crystal clear Nine Spirits Ice Coffin.
When he was very young, Su Junbao often had the same dream, but there was nothing in that dream. He could not feel anything, only a void, countless emptiness and coldness. Su Junbao spent time in that emptiness and silence.
Countless years have passed, three hundred years since he was born, and he has been hibernating in that ice coffin for a long time.
His body was asleep, but his young soul was always awake. During those three hundred years, he was only accompanied by endless loneliness and coldness.
Every time at this time, Su Junbao would wake up from his dream, gasping for air and wiping the sweat on his head. It took him a long time to completely distinguish what was reality and what was a dream. The dream was too real.
Because those are things he has experienced, so they are real!
Su Junbao looked around. Yanzhi and the others were still sleeping soundly. Only Li Ya was keeping watch for them. Just in case, she and Su Junbao each slept in the middle of the night and took turns keeping watch.
Now that midnight had passed, Li Ya hadn't woken up Su Junbao, but she saw that he was dreaming. Li Ya stared at him blankly, knowing this boy for so long, this was the first time she had seen him look like this.
Sad, lost, and lonely, he was not at all like his usual calm self.
"Did you... have a nightmare?"
Seeing Su Junbao wake up, Li Ya asked with concern. Su Junbao nodded and said nothing. He had not yet recovered from the loneliness and sadness in his dream.
Looking at the empty wilderness around him at night, Su Junbao suddenly felt an extreme sense of loneliness. He tried hard to calm down his emotions, but he could not suppress the loneliness that surged up.
"Did you...dream about your family's past?" Li Ya thought for a while and asked. What made the boy so disappointed must be the sad past that he didn't want to recall.
Su Junbao nodded again!
"Don't be afraid! We are all here!" Li Ya said softly.
Yes, they are all here. When Li Ya said this, she actually didn't have much ability to protect herself. She was just a member of the lower class. Her humble status gave her no right to speak in the world, and she was almost auctioned off as a slave.
She lost, but she tried her best, tried her best, never gave up, and lived hard.
Su Junbao looked at her and suddenly smiled.
This was the first time, except for Qing Lao, that he woke up from a nightmare and had someone comfort him. This feeling... Su Junbao felt very good.
Whether it is the distant memories or the parents he has never met, they are too far away from Su Junbao's real life. All he really has are these people around him, and this is all his real life.
"Liya, what do you want to do most after you get out?" Su Junbao asked after calming down.
"What do you want to do most...?"
Li Ya thought about it for a long time, but she still hadn't come up with a reason. Suddenly she asked this question. Li Ya really didn't have much idea at the moment.
"I have been bought. Of course, wherever the owner goes, Li Ya will follow him!" She finally said playfully.
Su Junbao laughed again. His mother's betrayal made him taste the warmth and coldness of human feelings and the darkness of human nature prematurely. People like Xiaodie and Li Ya allowed him to see the beautiful and warm side of life without losing his appreciation for the beauty of human nature.
One side of yearning.
...!
The next day, Su Junbao and others found a hidden place and observed the military camp from a distance. Until evening, they still found no movement.
"Those people probably won't come!" Wu Lanxin concluded in a low voice.
"wrong!"
Li Ya also lowered her voice: "You didn't look carefully. At the end of the day, although there was no movement around, did you notice that Zichuan Kingdom sent more and more people, but there were not many people coming back. I guess inside the military camp
At least half of it is empty now!"
"Then what?" Su Junbao asked with a smile.
"So I guess this is Fenglan Kingdom's trick to lure the enemy. Some of them used a strategy to lure most of the people in the Zichuan Kingdom's military camp away first, so that they can make a sneak attack. If they want to make a sneak attack, they must be in
At night!" Li Ya analyzed logically.
Wu Lanxin moved her mouth but did not speak. She was not very good at thinking about overly complicated things, let alone arguing with others. However, Li Ya had been in a mercenary group since she was a child, so she had rich experience and a smart mind.
"Then we have to keep waiting?"
She then turned to Su Junbao, who was the leader here, and Wu Lanxin was used to obeying the other party's arrangements.
"Of course, but first let our little one get some sleep!"
Su Junbao patted the little one nestled in his arms and said, if they really came in the middle of the night, they wouldn't need to sleep, but that's not necessarily the case for the little one. She is really good at eating and sleeping. If she doesn't wake up by then,
, that would be troublesome, and you would have to rely on her then.
After Rouge had eaten and drank enough, she actually fell asleep under Su Junbao's gentle patting.
Su Junbao took advantage of his free time and happened to start meditating while adjusting his breath and closing his eyes to rest his mind. Yan Guiyi was reading a book of swordsmanship and martial arts beside him. He had not been practicing for a long time and without Su Junbao's guidance, he looked left and right.
It was cloudy and foggy, but I was still very fascinated by what I saw!
Generally, in order to lay a solid foundation, children from wealthy families are trained by their elders from the age of five or six. This is conducive to cultivating good seedlings for practicing martial arts. If it is delayed for a few more years and the golden period is missed, it will be costly in the future.
The price will be much higher than others. Yan Guiyi is seven years old this year. It is not too late. With the guidance of his elder brother, he has already begun to plan his own cultivation path!
Time passed very quickly, and soon it was midnight. Just as Li Ya said, there were sudden shouts of killing coming from the direction of Heisonglin.
