Luo Xie was stunned when he heard the old man's question.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

But I couldn't spit out half a word for a long time.

In the end, Rochelle could only slowly close his mouth.

While closing your mouth, close your eyes.

Bury your head low.

I don't want to see the armed business group led by the elderly... No, to be exact, I don't dare to see the armed business group led by the elderly.

His shoulders drooped, and his original great body seemed to be a circle smaller at this time.

……

……

The old man looked at Luo Xie silently.

For Rochelle's silence, the old man seemed to have been psychologically prepared.

The original look of expectation and tension on his face disappeared at this time.

Instead, there was a faint, gentle smile like the calm water.

It's just -- there's some relief in this soft smile.

And some... Unspeakable helpless color

The old man turned his head and winked at several subordinates beside him.

The men beside him immediately understood and untied several leather bags and gunny bags hanging on their saddles and threw them at the feet of Rocher and barrister.

"This is a little water and food."

The old man said loudly.

"Although I don't know where you're going, it's right to bring more water and food."

"Take it as a gift from me."

"Keep it well."

"Then - I'll see you later."

Then the old man pulled the reins and turned the horse's head.

And the old man's subordinates turned their horses one after another, ready to follow their leader to leave here.

After turning the horse's head, the old man seemed to suddenly think of something, turned his head and cast his eyes on Rocher and barrister again.

Then he said word by word:

"May the stars guide your way."

After leaving this sentence, the old man didn't stay any longer, led his subordinates to roll up gusts of wind and sand and rode away.

Only the bags of water and food given to Rocher and barrister

......

......

That night——

Barrister clearly felt it - Rocher was in a rather bad mood now.

Rocher has been silent since the armed merchant group left.

It's the same now. At this time, Rochelle looked at the burning campfire without expression. He didn't say a word. He just looked at the fire quietly and didn't know what he was thinking.

Rocher has been so silent that barrest can't help feeling a little pressure and uncomfortable.

In order to get rid of the awkward and dull atmosphere, barrest summoned up the courage and asked Rocher the easiest topic to talk about in detail:

"Well... Sir, what do you mean -- 'may the stars guide your way'?"

This is the last sentence the old man left them.

Barrister had no idea what that meant.

I just think this sentence seems cool

Barrister was worried that Rocher would ignore him or scold him not to quarrel.

But his worries are obviously over worried.

As soon as barrest's question fell, Rochelle whispered:

"This is a very old farewell word."

"Long ago, this sentence was often used when we wanted to separate from soldiers who were about to participate in important military operations."

"According to our ancient legend of Luolin people, after the hero dies, his spirit will rise into the sky and turn into stars in the night sky."

"Heroes always die, and the number of stars keeps increasing."

"May the stars guide your way" - it actually means' may you be protected by the spirits of the past '. "

Rocher explained the meaning of this sentence to barrest concisely and comprehensively.

Barrister, who listened attentively to the short story that Rocher had just told, nodded his head

"So it is... After knowing what the specific meaning of this sentence is, I feel that this sentence has become more handsome... May the stars guide your way..."

Barrister kept muttering this sentence, as if he were exploring the tone of this sentence, which was the most powerful.

"Handsome is handsome."

Rochelle smiled bitterly.

"But this is also a very old-fashioned saying. Few people say it now."

"But somehow, I can always hear this sentence from others these days..."

"How wonderful..."

After sighing, Luo Xie picked up several branches at his feet, broke them into several pieces, and then threw them into the bonfire in front of him.

......

......

Barrister continued to look straight at Rochelle.

Rochelle, who was looked uneasy by barrister, said angrily:

"What? If you have something to say, don't keep looking at me like this! Your eyes will remind me of the eyes of those veterans who have been in the barracks for a long time when they look at those beautiful and handsome soldiers! "

"I'm not that sick!"

After closing his eyes and sighing, barrister reopened his eyes.

At the moment, his pupils were a little more confused and confused than just now.

"I don't understand..."

"Don't understand what?"

"Lord Rocher... Why do you work so hard for this country?"

"It's not easy for you to escape from Orleans surrounded by the British army. In fact, you don't have to risk going to Turin."

"You can fly away and escape back to your hometown or other safe places."

"Or you can surrender to the British Army directly. You are a senior general in the army. If you surrender to the British army, the generals of the British army will welcome you very much."

"But you didn't..."

"Even if there are no horses, you should walk to Tuli with your own legs and feet..."

"And I guess when you arrive in Turin and send the news that Orleans is still holding on to Turin and invite reinforcements, you will certainly join the reinforcements and return to Orleans. Am I right?"

"Why do you work so hard for this country?"

"What... Gives you strong motivation...?"

......

......

After quietly listening to barrest's question, Rochelle did not answer immediately.

After being silent for a long time, he picked up a long wooden branch next to him and said softly while fiddling with the flame in the campfire:

"That's right..."

"Why should I work so hard for this country...?"

Rochelle's tone seemed to ask barrister.

It's like asking yourself.

"Is it to repay huangen?"

Rocher asked and answered himself.

"It doesn't seem to be... Her Majesty didn't favor me at all, and I hate the current emperor of our country most. I also participated in the uprising determined to take her majesty down from the throne a few years ago."
