Liang Meng's eyes widened, and she felt a little uneasy about Mu Ying's trust. She didn't know what to do with her hands and feet. She just looked at Mu Ying and asked stupidly.
"Why?"
She looked so stupid that it seemed like it was a very shortsighted thing for others to believe her.
Mu Ying raised the corners of his lips slightly, and his heroic eyes and eyebrows showed a hint of smile.
He did not answer Liang Meng's question, but said something completely irrelevant.
"I want to take the girl to see someone. Maybe after meeting her, the girl will understand."
"Who are you meeting?"
"Please follow me, girl."
Mu Ying stood up, threw his cloak behind him, and made a gesture of invitation to Liang Meng.
Liang Meng looked at her, and the unrealistic feeling she had just had came back. She felt that Mu Ying's actions still revealed a sense of respect.
He shook his head vigorously and didn't dare to say anything else. Liang Meng nodded and followed Mu Ying obediently.
Walking into the house on the east side of the backyard, Mu Ying stood in front of the wall facing the door, raised his hand and pressed hard at a place, and with a bang, a corner of the wall opened.
This... secret passage? ?
Before Liang Meng had time to think, Mu Ying had already walked in. Liang Meng hurried to follow.
After entering the secret passage, the wall closed again with a bang.
The passage was very narrow, barely enough for one person to pass through, but the candlelight was bright, so it didn't seem dark.
Looking at the straight figure in golden armor in front of him, apart from the sound of footsteps, the only sound was the sword at Mu Ying's waist hitting the armor from time to time.
Liang Meng unconsciously thought of something wrong again: This... is actually a good place to kill someone.
We walked a long way in this narrow passage before turning left. This time it was a little wider and we could stretch our arms out.
In addition to the candlelight, there were also several portraits of soldiers hanging on the wall. What puzzled Liang Meng was that these were all portraits of female soldiers.
Moreover, apart from their appearance, their clothes and actions were all the same, they were all wearing armor and holding cold swords.
This time, after walking a short distance, I turned right again. The passage suddenly became several times wider.
Seeing what was on the wall, Liang Meng's pace suddenly slowed down. He stared at the wall carefully without blinking.
I saw that on the two walls, there was a recessed and polished square groove corresponding to each other, just like a modern closet built into the wall.
And in that trough, there were soldiers, both men and women, kneeling on one knee, with respectful and resolute expressions.
The sharp sword sank into the loess. The soldier placed one hand on his chest and gripped the hilt with the other.
Although the figures were carved, one could easily see the determination in their eyes, as if they were guarding something more important than their own lives.
“This…what is this?”
Liang Meng looked at the soldiers on the wall one by one. At the end of the passage stood Mu Ying with a solemn expression.
Liang Meng pointed at the wall and spoke in confusion.
Mu Ying looked at Liang Meng, her eyes moving slightly. Maybe it was because the candlelight flickered, but she seemed to see tears in Mu Ying's eyes.
"This is the greatest warrior of our Tomb City."
"The greatest... warrior?"
"yes."
"them......"
"They have been guarding here for ten thousand years."
"Ten thousand years? What... are they guarding?"
"Protect our Lord."
"Lord?"
"yes."
Mu Ying looked at Liang Meng, her eyes burning, as if something was about to erupt. But she didn't say anything else.
Seeing that Mu Ying didn't seem to want to talk too much about the master she mentioned, Liang Meng wisely stopped talking.
"So they...are dead?"
Liang Meng regretted asking the question and wanted to bite off her tongue. What a stupid question, Liang Meng, Liang Meng, where is your brain?
Fortunately, Mu Ying didn't care. He stared at the portrait with a determined and proud expression.
"No! One day, they will come back to life."
Perhaps it was the proud tone in Mu Ying's voice that influenced her. When she looked at it again, Liang Meng felt a sense of pride in her heart for no reason.
She looked at the figures quietly again. Through them, she seemed to see a battlefield full of fighting, with corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowing like rivers everywhere.
There were also dense drumbeats, and warriors in armor, holding swords and charging with roars.
Liang Meng clenched her fists and her body trembled slightly. She felt her blood burning and boiling in her veins.
She suddenly had an unrealistic feeling: she, too, seemed to have once been on a battlefield, and had once protected something with her life.
A dull sound brought Liang Meng back to his senses and he turned to look. It was Mu Ying who had opened the heavy stone door.
"please."
Mu Ying gestured to Liang Meng again.
The closer Liang Meng got to the door, the faster her heart beat. It seemed as if something very important was waiting for her inside.
But after walking in, Liang Meng found that it was just an ordinary stone room. The room was very cold, as if cold air was coming out from the cracks in the wall.
There was a candle burning in each corner of the wall, so the room was not very bright.
There were neither portraits nor stone statues of soldiers on the dim but smooth walls, only some ancient weapons that Liang Meng could not name.
And... there is also a set of golden armor that looks extremely majestic. The armor is spotless and shines with golden light under the candlelight.
A dark red cloak draped quietly behind the armor.
Liang Meng stared at the armor in a trance. Although the room was so quiet, she could hear the sounds of killing and the neighing of war horses.
Whose cloak flutters in the angry wind, whose warhorse's front hooves are raised, stepping over mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.
