Chapter 118: Cold as numbness
People always feel weak when they make mistakes, let alone killing. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Even if you kill someone who deserves to be killed, no matter who you are, there will be some touch in your heart.
But Mu Chen killed someone at the moment, but he didn't feel anything.
He himself gradually realized that after more experience, he didn't care about certain things, because he was numb.
Since the day he entered the rivers and lakes, he was destined to kill non-stop in this life, because he knew that only killing could he protect the people he wanted to protect.
Originally, he thought that with affection, he could reduce the killing, but because of affection, he committed more killing, and he didn't know what he was for.
Whether it was the unknown senior master who asked him to compete with Huiqing, or won the championship in Wutai Mountain, until he later went to save Xiao Wenhe and broke into the Five Poisons Sect alone, these things were all done for the sake of others.
He almost never did anything for himself except to eat and sleep.
The rain was pouring down, and the sword light was gone.
Mu Chen looked at the two corpses in front of him, his eyes were full of numbness, and he said slowly, "Twenty-three"
Mu Chen killed twenty-three people in one night, he didn't know why these people came to kill him, but he knew that if he wanted to survive, he had to kill the other party, because he clearly knew that he was living for others now, even if it was for love, he must not die.
It was already dawn, but the rain had not stopped, and Mu Chen sat in the inn, drinking wine and listening to the words of others.
"More than 20 people died last night, you know?"
"How can you not know that it's so scary"
Listening to these remarks, Mu Chen's heart was not touched at all, and his eyes were full of gloom.
At this time, a child ran into the inn, walked up to Mu Chen, and said, "Big brother, this is a sister for you"
After speaking, he handed Mu Chen a letter.
Mu Chen took the letter and said, "Okay, thank you"
I opened the letter and it read "Friend, thank you for helping me kill twenty-three relatives, I will repay you"
Mu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "It turned out to be him, no wonder he was called a sister" After speaking, he took a sip of wine, put the money on the table, and walked out of the inn.
What Mu Chen has to do now is to find a way to take Gu Ming City back, so that he can explain to the emperor, but now that the city is full of Dali's army, he doesn't know how to start at the moment.
The clouds were thick, the whole world seemed very dark, and there were not many people on the streets, so Mu Chen jumped up, jumped on the roof, and walked into the distance.
After walking for half an hour, Mu Chen arrived at the barracks, the barracks of the Dali army.
Mu Chen looked at the thousands of people in the barracks, as if he was looking at a corpse again, his eyes were full of killing intent.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the barracks, Muchen felt very strange, and was about to take a look, but heard the barracks full of screams.
Ordinary people will always be touched in their hearts no matter what, but Mu Chen's heart doesn't feel it at all, because he knows that he doesn't need to have mercy for the enemy.
The screaming continued for two hours before finally stopping.
Mu Chen jumped off the roof of the house and walked into the barracks, and as expected, all he saw were corpses.
Thousands of people died in two hours, which made Mu Chen a little staggered.
Mu Chen walked among the corpses, and suddenly saw a sentence written on the camp tent of General Dali, "Friend, I said that I wanted to repay you, and now Guming City is yours"
Mu Chen looked at it, and was a little surprised, and said, "It's only twenty-three minions, why use a thousand people to report, not to mention that those twenty-three people will kill you sooner or later if I don't kill them."
Mu Chen was sighing, but he heard the voices of the remnants of the soldiers in the distance, who were monitoring and patrolling the city, and only then did they survive being killed.
When these soldiers returned to the barracks, they were shocked to see such a tragic situation, and at the same time, they were also frightened to see Mu Chen standing among the corpses, and their legs and feet were a little weak.
Mu Chen looked at them, put his hand on the sword, and asked, "You guys, are you going to kill me too?"
Each of the soldiers shook their bodies, threw their weapons on the ground, and said "no, no"
Mu Chen said, "Very good, let's go" After speaking, he let go of his hand and let go of the sword.
The soldiers fled in confusion, and Mu Chen also walked out of the barracks.
He didn't expect that he needed to make a big move, but he exchanged twenty-three lives for the entire Gu Ming City, and he didn't expect that his friend Shangguan Wuyi would have such a great ability.
Three days later, the army of the Western Dynasty came to Guming City, and none of these soldiers and officers dared to believe that Mu Chen had recaptured Guming City alone.
General Wu walked up to Mu Chen and said, "Mu Shaoxia, I really admire you, you can take Gu Ming City so easily"
Mu Chen smiled, "General Wu is polite"
General Wu said, "Now Mu Shaoxia can go to the capital to marry the princess"
Mu Chen's heart suddenly shocked, he knew that he couldn't marry Shen Yueying, at least not now, because although the Northern Dynasty and the Western Dynasty are allies now, they will definitely inevitably fight a war, and the Central Plains will be unified sooner or later, if he marries Shen Yueying, it means that he will inevitably meet Sima Yunxuan, which is the last thing he wants to see, but he doesn't want to see Shen Yueying sad for him.
Mu Chen clearly knew that he might have to go back to his previous life, he met people he shouldn't have met in a place where he shouldn't be, and there would have been no good results, which he should have expected a long time ago.
Mu Chen smiled, "I can't go back now, because my business is not finished yet"
General Wu smiled: "Then you are willing to let the princess wait for you all the time?"
Mu Chen smiled, "When I'm done, I'll definitely go to the princess."
General Wu said, "Okay, although I am the emperor's courtier, I also want to say that the eldest husband must work hard for his ambitions, and don't be tied up by his children's affection."
Mu Chen smiled and said, "I must keep in mind General Wu's words, but there is something I need to ask you to help with."
General Wu said, "You helped me take the entire Guming City, don't say one thing, I will also help you with ten things"
Mu Chen said, "You don't need ten pieces, you just need to wait for my two righteous brothers to come, and tell them to go to the old locust tree to find me in three months."
General Wu nodded, and Mu Chen said, "Okay, then I'll go first."
Time flies, winter strikes quietly, and before you know it, more than three years have passed, Mu Chen is sitting alone in the tavern drinking, he has been waiting, waiting for his two righteous brothers to come to him.
The snow fell outside the door, Mu Chen looked at the flying snowflakes, took a sip of wine, and said, "Little Er"
The shopkeeper heard Mu Chen's voice, and quickly ran over and said, "What's the matter with the guest officer?"
Mu Chen said, "How much time have I been drinking with you?"
The shopkeeper said, "You've been here for three years and two months."
Mu Chen said, "It's been three years, it should be here" After speaking, he said, "You go and clean my room, and then put a few more braziers in the room"
The shopkeeper said "yes" and left, going to clean Muchen's room.
Mu Chen picked up the velvet coat on the table, draped it on his body, walked out of the inn, and disappeared into the vast snow.
