750: C750 In a Teahouse on the Side of the Street

C750 In a Teahouse on the Side of the Street

Tuoba Tian'er believed Xiao Yun's judgment.

After that, she carefully thought about the comparison between Great Yan City and the capital city of Qin Country.

Her expression became worse and worse.

He even swayed his body and nearly fainted.

She gritted her teeth and turned to whisper to the general who was looking at them. She was very curious, but she did not dare to go forward to ask. She even took a few steps back to avoid the general under Gua Tian.

"What was the mission assigned to you before?"

"Oh, it was to bypass Great Yan City and snipe them from behind. It was to intercept the army of Qin Country at all costs."

"So... there are already people above who think that Great Yan City won't be able to stop them?"

"I... I think so."

"Even Great Yan City, the strongest army of our Northern Wei, and the strongest city can't stop them. What's the point of you going up there to stop them?"

The general said with a bitter face, "Naturally... I will use my life to pile it up and waste my time."

"Is it just courting death?"

"Yes"

"「 Then are you willing? 」"

"Protecting the country is our responsibility."

"Not to mention responsibility, I'm talking about you, what you think in your heart"

"This..."

The general was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said seriously: "If the North Wei really is defeated, the people might be able to live. Although it is hard, but if they can live, those big families can live. Although it is a serious matter, it cannot take their lives. As for us small clans, they will definitely be destroyed, and then my family, my family, and my family... We will all die in this chaos. I don't want to see this. "

"So... you choose to die generously, even if the North Wei fails in the end. You will die first, and you have done everything you can. You don't need to be sad about the death of your loved ones. If the North Wei wins in the end... You'll be using your own life to protect your family. Are you satisfied? "

"Yes!"

Tuoba Tian'er sneered, then walked back to Xiao Yun's side and whispered, "Look, this is the tendons and bones of our North Wei people!"

Xiao Yun also smiled bitterly and nodded. "I saw it."

Then he got into the carriage.

Tuoba Tian'er also followed him and sat in the corner without saying anything.

Sahu blankly looked at this kind of situation that he did not understand and softly asked, "That... Where are we going now?"

Xiao Yun sighed and said, "I thought I could rest in Sishui City for a while. It seems that there is no need for that. Let's go to the Great Royal Court of North Wei."

" Ah? You want to go now?"

"Do you know the way?"

" Yes, I do... "

"[Then let's go.]"

Xiao Yun did not ask why Sahu knew the way to the Great Royal Court of the North Wei. He just laid on the bed and closed his eyes. He let out a sigh and sighed at the injustice of fate.

From time to time, he would think, if Tuoba Tian'er could give up her family, wouldn't his country be pretty good? Everything was perfect.

But if she really was like that, would she still be her?

She was stunning, the Northern Wei was expensive, the Literary Sect's saintess.

How could she possibly be an unfaithful and unfilial person?

For the so-called love, for the sake of a man, he betrayed everything about himself?

What kind of joke was this?

It was just like how Xiao Yun would never abandon the entire Qin Country, the Xiao family, and all his friends and family to accommodate her.

Why should a woman betray her country for a man, and a man abandoning his country for a woman, be considered a great sinner?

This wasn't fair.

The most fair thing was that Xiao Yun was a Saint Grade while Tuoba Tian'er was saintess. Both of them had done their best in their own domains and had done their best.

He smiled bitterly. He wanted to fall asleep, but found that he couldn't.

He could only close his eyes and pretend to be asleep.

After all, he didn't have the right to comfort the sound of weeping coming from the corner.

...

Along the way, they saw many troops heading south. There were many mixed troops and even many civilians. Some people were willing, but most people were unwilling.

No one wanted to die.

Because any smarter person would realize that even if the North Wei lost and their country was taken over, they might not die. There were very few things that were harder to accept than death.

Especially when they heard that the civilians who were occupied had a good life, they did not want to rush over and lose their lives for no reason.

Therefore, those armies were all lifeless.

They were filled with despair.

Xiao Yun had seen too many such situations in the past month. He was even somewhat numb to it.

When the army saw Xiao Yun's carriage, they also seemed somewhat numb.

No one came up to question him, no one paid attention, and no one came up to rob him.

Just like that, they safely and peacefully arrived at the Great Royal Court of the Northern Wei.

This was a city without city walls.

It was very similar to the towns in Xiao Yun's previous life.

In the beginning, villages could be seen. Green smoke curled up, and the fields were densely packed.

Then there was the town. It was a very small town, and it was mainly a market.

Then there was a main road, which would lead them to the center of the city.

Xiao Yun immediately understood why this place was called Great Royal Court, and not a capital city.

This place was more like a huge landmark building. It radiated countless buildings, vast and flat, and then formed a thriving city.

Yes, this was originally the most prosperous place in the Northern Wei.

Even in the internal strife of the royal family, even in the disputes of the imperial court, the civilians and nobles living here were extremely happy.

Everyone had things to do, and every industry had its own development.

For example, in front of a town, they saw a child happily walking home with a piece of meat in his hand.

It wasn't New Year's Day, and there were no other children around to snatch it.

This was normal.

As long as it was a place where meat could be eaten, it was a good place for this world.

Compared to the lifeless atmosphere of the army along the way, although Great Royal Court was no longer as prosperous as it was in the past, however, it was still like a paradise, as if it did not know the situation outside at all. People were just living their normal lives, and they were very lively.

Xiao Yun put down the curtain of the carriage and blinked.

"Sahu, stop at the teahouse in front."

A place similar to a relay station was a teahouse by the roadside. There were a few ancient trees. A well, a well that had been hanging there for countless years. The tea flags that had been exposed to the wind and sun, the chairs that had been wrapped in plasticine, the mottled table that had been wiped clean, and the waiter's chair that had been used for an unknown number of years... However, the cloth was still flat on his shoulder.

It was often possible to see the face of a city from such a small place.

The carriage stopped next to him.

The waiter did not immediately greet him. Instead, he stood there respectfully and smiled in the direction of the carriage.

On the other side, the shopkeeper poked at the dim fire, causing the water that was already boiling to boil again.

He even hurriedly took out a few tea bowls to wipe and wipe.

This could be considered a form of greeting.

If he directly came out to call for people, in the eyes of the people in the North Wei, that was something only brothels would do.

In the North Wei, receiving guests was considered to be inferior.

However, when Sahu went forward to greet them, he responded.

The waiter immediately took out a small stool from beside the pillar and rushed to the side of the carriage. He placed it near the front of the carriage so that the guests could get off.

Xiao Yun got off the carriage and stepped on the stool. He was very stable.

He stood on the ground and stretched.

Then he smiled and said, "Get some good water and tea. If you have time to order fruits, bring some up. Fill some sharp fruits with some."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and a golden melon seed fell into the tea bowl beside him with a ding sound. It spun two rounds and quietly stopped in the middle of the bowl.

The shopkeeper curiously went over to take a look. Then, he immediately became excited and hurriedly called the waiter to prepare.

This kind of teahouse by the roadside mainly sold tea that could not be tasted clearly. It was enough to quench one's thirst.

But it was not only for sale.

There is still good tea. It is placed in the deepest part of the cabinet in the inner room. The jar is covered with dust but it does not affect the fragrance of the tea.2

There was also freshly slaughtered lamb meat in the kitchen.

Afraid that the customers would wait too long, he cut it into thin slices and threw it into the pot of bone soup.

In just a moment, the meat was rolled up by the heat and directly filled a big bowl. He rubbed his dark fingers on the grayish-brown cloth and pinched some salt. He crushed it with his fingers and sprinkled it on the mutton as evenly as possible.

He took another bowl and poured a bowl of meat soup. Then, he sprinkled some appetizing dishes on the table.

It was easy to make and did not look good. However, it was the most memorable thing in the street teahouse.

Who could have imagined that the pot of bone would be cooked for 50 years after it was replaced with bone water?
