Shang Xingwen was shocked and said, "You...what did you say!"

Slowly putting the crown on his waist, Ma Dian raised his head and said, "You all get up."

The soldiers then slowly stood up, but their eyes were still full of awe, and they did not dare to approach the six people at all.

"Captain Shang, how long have we been down there?" Ma Dian said.

Shang Xingwen subconsciously bent down and said respectfully: "As of today, it's a total of sixteen days."

"Sixteen days?"

Including the time it took for a few people to get here from the border, it was less than a month, which means they still had two months left. In general, the time was quite abundant.

Looking at Shang Xingwen calmly, Ma Dian said, "Captain Shang, do you know why you kneel down when you see this crown?"

Shang Xingwen shook his head blankly.

"That's because your Yuantuo Empire and the Song Shi Empire have always been brothers who are brothers!"

"What did you say!"

...

When Ma Dian told Shang Xingwen the truth about that year, Shang Xingwen was shocked. He could not believe that this was the truth of the matter. However, when he saw the crown in Ma Dian's hand, Shang Xingwen had to believe it.

The former brothers and sisters are now rebelling against each other. Why is this?

Shang Xingwen couldn't figure it out, so he could only sigh: What is the meaning of this war? Is it a traitor or a slap?

Shang Xingwen is now feeling exhausted physically and mentally. This truth is too heavy for him, so heavy that he doesn't know how to face this war and how to face the people of the Song Dynasty Empire.

"What you said is true?" Shang Xingwen said.

Ma Dian nodded.

Shang Xingwen took two steps back, his body trembled, his eyes full of self-blame, "Why, why do you tell me this?"

Looking at Shang Xingwen calmly, Xin'er walked to him and said, "You don't have to blame yourself too much. After all, you are not a witness to history, but a realist who is blinded by history."

Shang Xingwen smiled bitterly and said, "I would rather be a realist so that the guilt in my heart can be relieved a little."

"At least you still have room for atonement now!" Ma Dian said.

“How to do it?”

"With us, stop this war shouldn't have happened!"

Shang Xingwen glanced at the six people and shook his head, "Forget it, now I have no energy to care about these things. My hands are already full of blood from my compatriots. I can't face my compatriots on the battlefield."

"What are you going to do now?"

Shang Xingwen was silent for a long time, and finally made a decision that shocked everyone. This decision changed the situation on the entire battlefield.

"I decided... to withdraw from this war, find a place where no one is, and live alone."

Everyone was stunned at first, thinking that they had been galloping on the battlefield for many years and had experienced countless bloody storms, but they made such an unexpected decision, which shows how disappointed they were with this war.

At this moment, the soldiers behind Shang Xingwen knelt down and said to Shang Xingwen: "We are willing to live in seclusion with the regiment commander!"

Shang Xingwen looked at his subordinates behind him, shook his head, and showed a meaningful expression, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

Looking at Shang Xingwen, Ma Dian said seriously: "Shang Xingwen, you are escaping. You are neither willing to accept the truth nor facing reality. You choose to use escape methods to conceal the truth and escape from reality."

After hearing this, Shang Xingwen did not deny it, but nodded and said with a smile: "I know, but sometimes, escaping may not be the right choice."

His smile was very plain, very charitable, and even kind, without the domineering and fierce momentum of a general. He was even more a normal old man who lived in seclusion in the countryside, lived under the eastern fence of picking chrysanthemums and leisurely saw the southern mountain.

Looking at Shang Xingwen's smile, Ma Dian nodded, "You said it well. Sometimes escaping is indeed a good choice. I hope you can have a happy life in the future."

"Thanks."

Shang Xingwen was about to take the soldiers away, but Xin'er called him.

"Captain Shang, wait!"

Shang Xingwen stopped and smiled and said, "Just call me Xiao Shang, I wonder what Miss Xin'er's instructions?"

Seeing Shang Xingwen suddenly being so polite, Xin'er was a little uncomfortable, "Uh... Shang... Brother, can I ask you one last question?"

"But it's okay?"

"Do you know where Lu Qiuhao is?"

Shang Xingwen was stunned at first. He actually didn't want to answer this question, because once he told the six people, it would be equivalent to betraying Huayan, betraying the country, and promising his oath.

"Since I'm no longer a soldier, why talk about betrayal?"

Shang Xingwen thought so, and then said to Xiner: "Lu Qiuhao is currently in Xizhu City, guarding the western border."

Xin'er nodded, bowed to Shang Xingwen and said, "Thank you."

Shang Xingwen waved his hand and left Chunshan with a group of soldiers from the Wuwei Legion.

Watching the soldiers leave, Guo Zixu couldn't help but say, "I said, why are we so anxious to find Lu Bald Head? Just take the crown and return to the battlefield and tell everyone the truth. It's not too late to find Lu Bald Head in the future."

Ma Dian shook his head and said, "No, we must not let the crown appear on the battlefield again!"

"Why?" Guo Zixu said inconsolably.

"Because the variables in this crown are too great! Although we convinced Shang Xingwen with it, we may not be able to convince others. The most important thing is that we cannot convince Hua Yan! Although I don't know why he, an outsider, was born in this struggle, as long as Hua Yan does not fall, the war will not end!"

"So, we must let the people of the Yuantuo Empire know the truth and drive Hua Yan away from the national teacher. Only in this way can we stop this war."

"Then we should go to the library of the Yuantuo Empire. Why do we have to go to the west to find Bully Lu?" Guo Zixu said.

"Because Lu Guangtou is the key to letting the Yuantuo Empire know the truth!" Ma Dian said.

"But……"

Before Guo Zixu finished speaking, Ma Dian slapped his head: "Okay, don't be there, just leave quickly. If you don't leave, we won't care about you."

Before he finished speaking, Ma Dian had already floated to the distance, while the others had already rushed to the bottom of the mountain.

"Hey, wait for me! Hey!"

Three days pass by in a flash.
