Chapter 80: Cats Are Jealous
This shouting was full of boundless anxiety and anger, and the timbre made Shen Yuan feel very familiar, it was Ji Chigen who had been absent for many days!
Shen Yuan hesitated for a moment, but finally pressed his steps, turned around and looked in the direction where Ji Chigen came.
Ji Chigen got closer, and also saw Shen Yuan's appearance clearly, and after a little hesitation, his eyes fell to the small pavilion behind Shen Yuan.
Ji Zha's head was still upright on the wooden table, and the sticky blood flowed quietly down the four feet of the wooden table, shocking!
Ji Chigen froze in place, his lips trembled several times, and finally he couldn't say anything, and tears quickly blurred his eyes.
"Who's ......?"
After a long time, Ji Chigen asked such a sentence tremblingly.
“...... Huilin ...... There is also the Great Witch Youth. I'm sorry...... I...... I'm late......"
"If only I could have ...... earlier Maybe ......"
Shen Yuan replied in a low voice, his face extremely heavy.
Ji Chigen licked his lips.
He opened his mouth several times, but he didn't speak.
In the end, he reached out and patted Shen Yuan's shoulder, "Don't blame yourself." When my uncle left the Emperor's Palace and came here, he had foreseen his death a long time ago......"
"It's just Huilin...... It's too presumptuous. He insulted his uncle like this. ”
"Were you just going to chase them?"
Shen Yuan was silent for a moment, nodded and shook his head, "Cheng Ruan told me that if things change and you fail to stop Huilin, you should immediately return to the eastern front, where there will soon be a big battle......"
"I just ...... A little dizzy. ”
Ji Chigen nodded, sighed, stretched out his fingers to flick away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "Then go back quickly." Let me give my uncle one last ride. ”
Shen Yuan wanted to persuade Ji Chigen, but he felt that he couldn't speak, so he had to pat Ji Chigen on the shoulder as a comfort, and took advantage of the wind to rush back to Chimu City.
When Shen Yuan and Fenghua turned into a blue light and disappeared in the east, Ji Chigen's legs were weak, and he sat on the ground weakly, crying silently.
As the sorrow in his heart gradually vented out, Ji Chigen's tears finally stopped flowing.
Sitting like this until it was about to get dark, Ji Chigen stood up on the ground, led the last touch of the sunset on the horizon, condensed into a ball of blood-colored sun true fire, and smelted the small pavilion in front of him and the corpse of Ji Zha inside into a fist-sized ash.
He carefully tucked the ashes into his sleeves, collected the fragile color on his face, and his steps became firm and powerful again, turning back in the direction of Chijing City.
......
When Shen Yuan pushed open the door of the battle command room of the defenders of Chimu City, he happened to see the pair of bright eyes raised behind the round table.
"Doesn't go well?" Cheng Ruan frowned slightly. She only looked at the gloomy expression on Shen Yuan's face, and she already knew the general result.
"Ji Zha's dead......" Shen Yuan briefly explained what had happened.
Cheng Ruan closed his eyes and sighed, "Alas...... The world's style ended up like this......"
"It's okay now, Ji Zha's last bit of value has been erased by Huilin...... Ji Zha is the same, he only knows what the imperial throne is orthodox, hasn't he considered the matter of rushing to follow the power? If the throne is temporarily passed on to the old man of the Ji family, and then returned to Ji Chigen after the war, this matter will be easier to handle. ”
Shen Yuan pondered in his heart for a moment, and asked with some uncertainty
said: "Isn't this a violation of the ancestral teachings of the Ji family?"
"Phew. Cheng Ruan took a sip, "The family and the country are dying, and Zu Xun has a fart." ”
Cheng Ruan...... What exactly did you want Ji Za to do?"
"Sacrifice your life for the country. He has the heavy weapons of the Red Empire in his hands, coupled with the cultivation of his own supreme saints, and can form a great sun divine array with many saints of the Ji family, he is simply a perfect candidate to save the earth. With his death, Ji Chigen has not yet fully matured, and the Red Empire and even the earth are equivalent to losing an arm out of thin air. ”
Listening to Cheng Ruan's explanation, Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, hugged Cheng Ruan into his arms, and asked in a low voice, "You...... Preparations have already begun to be made for that time? This war...... Have you seen it all?"
With the current tense war situation in the Red Empire, it seems quite unwise to consider the overall gains and losses of the earth, if it weren't for Cheng Ruan, Shen Yuan would definitely sneer at it.
Now that the world alliance and the Red Empire are still in the stage of armed confrontation, the people of the Red Empire consider the general situation of the earth, and the coalition forces may not understand this situation, let alone advance and retreat with the Red Empire.
However, it was Cheng Ruan who said this, so Shen Yuan could only come up with one possibility: Cheng Ruan had basically seen through the ins and outs of this war and began to focus on a greater threat.
Cheng Ruan nodded lightly and shook his head again, "There are no absolutes in the world, if I could anticipate things like gods, I would have arranged them clearly a long time ago, and Ji Zha would not have died......
"It's just that this battle has basically ended so far. Soon, we should be able to usher in a situation of unity. When the time comes, it's the real problem. ”
"If the Dragon Soul World is destined to fall on our heads, how can we survive?"
Cheng Ruan deftly avoided Shen Yuan's next question about why the war would end, and blocked Shen Yuan's train of thought with another, more serious topic, preventing him from thinking about the obvious answer.
Shen Yuan's heart tightened, thinking of the void shuttle totem that his teacher Zuer gave him, and his eyes couldn't help but have a thick sadness, and he was covered by Shen Yuan in just a moment.
If he leaves again, he may never come back.
He fully believed that Cheng Ruan had the ability to create an ideal living environment for her and the child in her womb alone, but as long as he thought that he couldn't even see the unborn child, Shen Yuan's heart was extremely uncomfortable.
"You...... Is there a way?" Shen Yuan found that Cheng Ruan was looking up at him, and quickly smiled, pretending to be heartless.
Cheng Ruan shook his head slightly, "No way." But those bastards in Chijing City should have thought of a lot of ways to get out. After all, this requires the mobilization of countless resources, and I am limited by information and have no room for layout. I can only choose to believe them. ”
"This ...... It's already the seventh time......" Shen Yuan pursed his lips, and finally talked about the topic that Cheng Ruan didn't want to talk about the most.
"By the way, isn't okra in a bad situation? Show me, I should be able to help her. ”
Looking at Cheng Ruan's sudden appearance that he had just remembered, Shen Yuan couldn't help but feel worried in his heart.
He hurriedly took out the aqua blue ball from his ear and handed it to Cheng Ruan.
Cheng Ruan is a genuine Longde at this time, and his affinity for okra, a natural artifact, is far beyond the previous one, he only glanced at it twice, touched it, and then smiled and said with relief: "Xiao Nizi is fine, she is a little out of strength, just take a good rest." I really have to thank her, otherwise you would have done it this time
It's hard to survive. ”
Shen Yuan smiled bitterly: "I survived for the time being, but all eight holy weapons were destroyed...... I...... I really don't know what to say. ”
"Don't be dissatisfied. Cheng Ruan stretched out a green onion white jade and pointed at Shen Yuan's eyebrows, "In this troubled world, struggling to survive is the greatest success." ”
Shen Yuan shook his head, didn't answer, and subconsciously reached out to pick up the blue ball in Cheng Ruan's palm.
Cheng Ruan's face was pale, he took two steps back with the blue ball, and said, "I'll help you take the okra first, she can rest better with me." It won't help you until she recovers. ”
"I'm a priest, so it's better to be with me, right?"
"Hmph. Cheng Ruan snorted coldly, shook his palm lightly, and forced Shen Yuan to slowly approach.
"Is okra pretty?" she asked suddenly.
Shen Yuan was stunned for a moment, and only after blinking did he realize what Cheng Ruan was asking.
He replied with a dry smile, "It's a little worse than you." ”
"Phew!" Cheng Ruan took another sip, pulled Shen Yuan's waistband with his palm, and the five-point cold claws quietly poked out, "I warn you." If you have any ideas for the blessing of all people, I will cut it down for you to make wine and drink!"
Shen Yuan was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again: "What's the matter! I have always regarded okra as my sister...... No, daughter!"
"Really?" Cheng Ruan's eyes had turned into a pair of bewitching vertical pupils, staring at Shen Yuan condescendingly, like a queen with a leather whip.
"Really, you've been watching!" Shen Yuan nodded repeatedly, not daring to show the slightest hesitation.
Cheng Ruan had a smile on his face, and asked again: "Then I will help you take care of your daughter for a while, do you have any opinions?"
"No, you're so good, you know to share my worries!" Shen Yuan hurriedly hugged Cheng Ruan's delicate body, and even coaxed and deceived, for fear that this girl would have some dangerous thoughts.
"Hmph. Cheng Ruan snorted coldly again, his eyes slashed at Shen Yuan's face like knives, and put okra in his pocket.
"By the way, soft, the ...... of the coalition forces on the eastern side"
Shen Yuan's eyes fluttered, and he unconsciously lowered his voice before continuing: "How is the counterattack plan?"
"Fortunately, you remembered my words and didn't chase after that big Wu Qing and Hui Lin. Otherwise, you probably won't see the fall of the coalition forces on the eastern side. ”
Shen Yuan secretly pinched a cold sweat when he heard this, and said in his heart If it weren't for Ji Chigen's sudden appearance, he would probably have fought several times with Da Wu Qing in the Void Spirit Realm by now.
"When are you going to attack them? Shen Yuan asked excitedly.
"Just tomorrow. Cheng Ruan didn't think about it, so he said this time.
Shen Yuan was shocked, "Are you in such a hurry? ”
"The wait-and-see is over. Time is running out, and we must end the fighting here as soon as possible. This would be the last straw that broke the will of the coalition forces. Don't you want to ask when the war will end?"
"As long as the coalition forces on the eastern flank collapse, there is a more than eighty percent chance that the coalition forces will surrender within three days. ”
Shen Yuan was shocked, "Eighty percent, is the eastern front so important?"
