Chapter 177: Traces

Lu Wei looked at Yang Yun's body silently. He actually found out his life experience and the reasons for his betrayal. In this world, it is not a good thing to value friendship too much.

No matter what he chose in his choice of family and country, he even instinctively did what he thought was right at the last moment of his life.

"Come on, pick up Yang Yun's body, I will take him back to the Tang Dynasty." Lu Wei squatted down and gently stroked Yang Yun's wide eyes. When he saw him, he had closed his eyes peacefully.

Lu Wei picked up Yang Yun's sword from the ground and handed it to the soldiers who came up to pick up the corpse. "I'm safe and bury it when I'm buried in the future." The soldier lowered his head and took the long sword from him respectfully.

Now two city gates have returned to their hands, and the remaining two southwest gates will be opened for them soon.

Lu Wei raised his head and accidentally found thick smoke and fire coming from the northwest of Nanling City. "Yan Tong, stay here and guard the city gate to prevent the Wuluo army from counterattacking. I'll go into the city to see what's going on?" Lu Wei found a very experienced general and issued an order.

"I will obey the order."

"It's just that the marshal, do you need to send some people to follow you?" Yan Tong asked with some concern.

"It's okay, go find me a set of clothes for the people of Nanling City and an ordinary horse. I will disguise myself and then sneak into the city."

"I will understand." Yan Tong knew that nothing he said would not work, so he had to quickly instruct the soldiers to do the matter as soon as possible.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Yan Tong found a dark gray cloth dress with two eye-catching black patches on it. Lu Wei took it with satisfaction and gestured on her body, and found that the clothes were very consistent with her body shape.

"Not bad." He quickly changed his clothes, and before leaving, he deliberately wiped a few handfuls of dust on the ground, making himself look a little embarrassed. Then he turned over and chased the direction of the fire.

Yan Tong watched the man and horse disappear quickly before his eyes. Out of caution, he wrote a letter in his personal information and ordered people to send it back to the camp at the top of the mountain to inform King Wei of the current situation of the battle and Lu Wei's whereabouts.

"Miss Cheng, have you really decided?"

"I'm sure I'm going to burn the Sifang Tower?" Qingyue turned her eyes to the scene and objects in the building again. She stayed here for four years. Every place here witnessed her rebirth. Now she has a lot of reluctance to destroy all the glorious past that has personally destroyed her.

"Little girl, I know you, like Murong Qing, are reluctant to destroy these Sifanglou, but now the form is unknown. As the people of the Tang Dynasty, we have the ability to do something for the army in the Tang Dynasty. Why should we give up this great opportunity because of our own selfish thoughts?"

"You have to understand that only a strong country can have rich people."

"So, first of all, you have to have a country to have a family." Cheng Yue rarely spoke in such a long and long manner.

Qingyue was frightened and nodded in a daze yesterday.

Cheng Yue looked back at the three-story restaurant. The three words "Sifeng Tower" flickered under the red light and shadow. Yesterday's crowds were crowded, as if they were nostalgic in their ears. In a blink of an eye, she would turn it into ruins with her own hands.

Qingyue stood behind Cheng Yue with a torch in her hand, silent, and tears of bitterness surged onto her eyes. The anxious moment of the previous moment stopped in this second. In four years, more than a thousand homes guarded day and night were about to collapse.

The thin figure not far away bowed and coughed lightly. The summer night wind was covered with the smell of thick smoke, and the stuffy air blocked the chest, making people breathless.

"Let's start." The decisive and determined female voice seemed even more gentle and desolate in this chaotic night.

Qingyue and Cheng Yue began to move out the wine jars one by one in the wine cellar. They spent a lot of effort. Soon the last jar of strong liquor was thrown heavily on the ground. In an instant, the jar broke. The white liquid rolled out, and the fragrant smell instantly spread around.

The last destination of many heroes, rich gentry, and Hu people, who were hard to find in the past, made a grand final destination.

The torches went down to the ground, and the flames burned, rushed from the hall to the stairs, from the private room on the second floor to the attic on the third floor. The fire snake swallowed the wood and hissed, spreading rapidly with the momentum of thunder. In a blink of an eye, the white walls were gray and black.

"Let's go..." The plain tone of voice was filled with some reluctance and loneliness.

Seeing that the work was completed, Cheng Yue and Qingyue used the mud and dust on the ground to cover their true faces, and they deliberately made their clothes ragged.

Because a raging fire suddenly ignited on Sifang Tower, the fire undoubtedly added more terrifying shadows to those who were still hiding in Nanling City. People around them escaped overnight, and there were immediately many figures on the street carrying large and small bags of escape.

Cheng Yue and Qingyue were naturally fleeing crowds, burning the past and old relationships again. They embarked on a long journey, and the road ahead was vast, where was the old friend...

Lu Yilu galloped on horseback, and the sound of horse hooves traveled through the empty alleys, with clothes fluttering and dust splashing all the way.

Suddenly, when he saw a bright fire rising from the road ahead, illuminating half of the sky in the southwest city, Lu Wei suddenly felt a pain in his chest. He whipped his whip and accelerated, and panic for no reason occupied his entire mind...

The once famous Sifeng Tower is left with only a dark dust and dust, broken branches and walls, and you can no longer see the hustle and bustle of the past.

Lu Wei stopped his horse and stopped. Although the fire in the Sifeng Tower had become a ruin, the fire had already become prosperous and continued to spread around the surrounding areas. The thick fire light in front of him seemed to be about to rush into the night sky, blooming with gorgeous sparks. The whole piece of strange fiery red seemed to be getting closer and closer with the breath of death...

Lu Wei squatted down and found a corner of golden streaming light among the pile of black and gray. He carefully pushed away the ashes on it, and the gold-plated plaque cooked by the fire turned out to be as bright as new.

At this time, he found something very familiar in the pile of ashes. The jade pendant that should have been hanging on someone's waist fell here. Lu Wei didn't know whether to laugh to the sky or cry without tears.

Cheng Yue, who has been missing for many days, must have appeared here, but now her life and death and whereabouts are becoming more and more foggy.

Lu Wei picked up the black and gray jade pendant and gently wiped the worn clothes on his body repeatedly until the jade pendant fell out of its original appearance.

Lu Wei held it tightly in his hand, and the fear in his heart spread infinitely. Could it be that meeting again would be the separation of yin and yang in front of this ruin?

Will God be too cruel to him and let him send away one person he cared about?

He carefully put the jade pendant back into his chest pocket and let it fit as close as possible to his heart, so that he could feel her heartbeat.

Lu Wei sighed to the sky and found that he had forgotten something. As expected, once he touched Cheng Yue, his unparalleled head would turn into a pot of paste.

He planted a worm in her body at the same time. The male and female had a strong sense of perception. When she was anxious, she forgot about this. Although she did not sense the information with great fluctuations along the way, Lu Wei still decided to search in the ruins. Since Cheng Yue's objects appeared here, she must have appeared in this place or near.

This Sifang Tower was once the most famous restaurant in Nanling City. Although it is now baptized by war, who knows how many people are hidden inside when it was set on fire?

Lu Wei looked for a wooden stick burned by fire in the corner of the wall and searched around hard. His mood was a little complicated at this moment.

"This is already a ruin. What are you looking for?" Murong Qingfeng appeared in front of the ruins of Sifang Tower after Lu Wei was busy for half an hour.

"What are you looking for?" Lu Wei raised his head in front of a pile of ruins and turned to look at the person who came: "I hope I can find nothing most." Lu Wei smiled bitterly, with many helplessness hidden in his eyes.

"What can be found by the commander of the first army out of the war is extremely precious?" Murong Qingfeng looked at him calmly, as if he was pointing something.

After hearing this, Lu Wei only smiled softly and said, "I don't know who you are?"

"The master is not right, but Marshal Lu is looking for something, but he is clear about what he is looking for." Murong Qingfeng asked the servant to push the wheelchair closer to Lu Wei.

"Yeah?"

"Young Master, please give me some more questions first, let me see if you really know?"

Murong Qingfeng also smiled, smiling confidently and calmly: "Marantor Lu is looking for a woman who is very important to you."

"I said, "Young Master, why didn't I look for the missing gold, silver and treasures?" Lu Wei wiped his forehead with the back of his hand, jumped out of the ruins with a smile, and landed lightly beside Murong Qingfeng.

Murong Qingfeng's servant suddenly became alert, and Lu Wei shook the dust on his sleeves, "There is no eyebrow, I advise the young master to go home earlier."

"It's better not to pay attention to other people's affairs." After Lu Wei said that, he turned around and prepared to untie the horses on the branch.

"Now it is the time to meet in war, and Marshal Lu has reserved me, Murong Qingfeng, understands."

"I have heard of the marshal's style for a long time. It's a bit disappointing to see him today."

Lu Wei did not stop the action because of Murong Qingfeng's deliberate belittled him.

"The world is the most important thing or the love between children and their children?"

"A dignified marshal of the first army actually left his army and ran here to find his sweetheart?"

"I wonder if the Lu family's family tradition is so lazy?"

Finally, only when it comes to the Lu family's affairs, Lu Wei turned around, "This young master, the achievements of the Lu family have been praised by the current emperor. What is the Lu family's family tradition?"

"This young man has the opportunity to visit Chang'an in the future, so he can take a good look."

"Is it a bit too much for slandering the Lu family's reputation?" Lu Wei's eyes were already warned.

"Okay, I'll take back what I said just now." Murong Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, "But, no matter whether you admit that you are Marshal Lu or not, there is one thing I can tell you very clearly that the girl you are looking for is safe."
