Chapter Forty-Four: Qin Nu Wins Yi
The sun is thin, the breeze is blowing, mixed with the smell of blood and burning corpses. Zhan Wuxian held a small white ape in his arms and stood silently in front of a grave, which was more than twice as large as the usual one, and the soil was new, which he had dug and covered with his own hands. There was Mo Wuya standing next to Zhan Wuxian, she was holding Zhan Chi in her arms, staring at the little white ape, and from time to time stretched out her hand to play with the little white ape, they obviously didn't know what was going on, they didn't understand the mood of the adults at this time, the two pairs of innocent eyes were extremely incommensurate with this oppressive and solemn atmosphere, and they didn't understand the cruelty and ruthlessness of war.
Gongzi Jizha and Bai Yu stood not far away, staring into the distance, flags were waving on the city wall, there were soldiers patrolling back and forth, and the halberd in their hands reflected the cold light from time to time, they didn't know if the war would come, and whether they would survive this life. Life is precious, and it's a blessing to be alive right now. Soldiers, live well, cherish the moment, cherish the relatives around you, and don't know if the next corpse lying on the battlefield is yourself.
Zhan Wuxian said sadly: "Brother Ape, sister-in-law, Zhan Wuxian is sorry for you!" You came to Caicheng thousands of miles away to help me show no mercy, but in half a day, you died under the clutches of Ao Xiong, and you left before you had time to drink with me. However, brother and sister-in-law, please rest assured, my husband and wife will definitely take care of the little white ape, not let him be wronged, not let anyone bully it, let it eat and dress well, and we will have what we have. I will also teach him martial arts, teach him everything, and let him be a white ape that stands up to the sky. You know my martial arts, it's okay to teach the little white ape, right? I think that when you and I raced on the top of the Great Snow Mountain, I wouldn't lose to you. If one day I can't teach him anymore, I'll ask my master and uncle to teach him, can you say okay? Speaking of emotion, everyone present couldn't help but burst into tears and empathize.
Zhan Wuxian got up and walked in front of Bai Yu, looking at the white feathers all over his body being dyed red, Zhan Wuxian was all moved in his heart: "Brother Bai Yu, thank you for coming to help." If it weren't for the feather people desperately trying to stop the tiger-eating beasts, the whole city of Caicheng would be ruined, and it was you who saved the people of the city. ”
Bai Yu's voice was a little hoarse, probably because the battle was too fierce, and there was no momentary rest, and his throat was dry. Mr. Zhan doesn't need to say that, it was the Nine Heavenly Gods who sent us. Lord Nine Heavenly Gods knew that Mr. Zhan was in urgent need of help, so he sent our soldiers of the Yuren clan to come day and night ten days ago, and finally did not make a mistake, did not embarrass Lord Jiutianshen, and also repaid Mr. Zhan for saving my Yuren clan. ”
What else to say, it is superfluous to say anything at this time.
Zhan Wuxian took a deep breath, he really didn't need to say more, Yuren traveled day and night, flying more than 10,000 miles, ten days and ten nights without stopping, just to practice the preface and repay the kindness of others. Zhan Wuxi's feelings at this time cannot be expressed in poor words such as gratitude.
"How many White Feather people have been killed or wounded?"
"Five hundred wounded, three hundred dead." Bai Yu said it seemed to be light, but it was actually heavy.
Zhan Wuxian was silent, and his heart was like a knife. "Now that the Tiger Eater has been wiped out, there are no more left, and the corpse beast pawn has also been defeated, leaving only the remnants to survive. It's just that the son's defeat has not been destroyed yet, and I don't know what else he has. Brother Yu, the white ape husband and wife have died for me, I can't bear to hurt you a little more, let's say goodbye, you can go back to the country of Yuren to recuperate. ”
Bai Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, if there is still a place to use my feather people, just ask, our feather people will arrive as soon as possible." ”
"In the future, Wuxian will definitely go to the Yuren Kingdom again to thank Jiutian Kunpeng in person, and when the time comes, I will drink with Brother Bai Yu again, and I will not return if I don't get drunk."
"Farewell, it's time for us to go back and report to Lord Nine Heavens." After Bai Yu finished speaking, he greeted the feather people and returned to the country of feathers with the sacrificed and injured white feather people.
Zhan Wuxian kept looking up at the sky, until the figure of the feather man gradually disappeared, he turned back to Gongzi Jizha and said, "Why would Gongzi bring troops to help?" And he is also a world-famous soul pawn. ”
Gongzi Jizha smiled and said: "Gongzi defeated the enemy and led the corpse beast soldiers to besiege Caicheng, who would not know such a big movement." However, the king of Chu is now on the border of Chu, Wu, and Xu, and his son Ji Guang is leading the troops of Wu to fight against him. In the military camp of Wu State, the scouts came every day to report the battle of Caicheng, and if Cai Cheng wins, Xu Guo will be worry-free, and if Cai Cheng is defeated, Xu Guo will forget, Wu Guo will be in danger, and the princes will be afraid. Later, we learned that there were many corpse beasts and soldiers, and Cai Cheng was in danger, so I asked to rescue Cai Cheng, but I couldn't take away a single soldier of Wu State, so I went north to Qi State for help, but I didn't expect that Qi Gong was timid and afraid of things, and he didn't dare to provoke Chu State. Time was of the essence, and I thought I'd come alone if I couldn't find reinforcements. Unexpectedly, on the way, I met two disciples of the Immortal Saint, who were leading the Immortal Saint's Soul Refining Wooden Guards to come to help. Brother Zhan is a master disciple of the Sword Saint, and you are also familiar with the Immortal Saint, right? ”
Zhan Wuxian said: "The Immortal Saint is the second master of the lower one, but I haven't seen him as an old man." Just now I heard that two of his old man's high-ranking disciples are also here, I don't know where they are? ”
Gongzi Ji Zha said: "Tian Yong is the nephew of the Immortal Sage, because Tian Yong died in battle, the two disciples of the Immortal Saint escorted Tian Yong's body back to the mountain. ”
Zhan Wuxian said yes and didn't speak again.
"It's getting dark, let's go back to the city." Mo Wuya said.
The crowd got up and walked back silently.
"Gong Cai invites the two of you to the council room!" A soldier arrived and said to Zhan Wuxian and Gongzi Jiza. The soldier was sweating profusely, soaking wet and panting, apparently looking for the two of them for a long time.
"What do you want me to do?" Zhan Wuxian asked.
"This ...... The villain doesn't know. ”
"You go back first, and we'll be there."
"Whoa!" The soldier got up and went back.
"Brother Jiza, in your opinion, how about Xiong Qiji?" Zhan Wuxian asked Gongzi Jiza.
Gongzi Jizha pondered for a moment and said: "Smart and meticulous, scheming. But it is still much stronger than King Xiongwei of Chu. ”
"Then let's go check it out."
"You're going to help him one more time."
"I don't know. Even if it's for the sake of these children. Zhan Wuxian hugged the little white ape in his arms, and looked at Zhan Chi in Mo Wuya's arms.
Zhan Wuxian and Gongzi Ji Zha sent Mo Wuya back to his residence first. Since the start of the war, she has not rested, either accompanying Zhan Wuxian or taking care of Zhan Chi, and then appeasing the people of the city. Now, Mo Wuya has another little white ape by her side, and she will only work harder in the future. In times of war, women appear greater and lovelier.
The sky is ink-stained, the eyebrows and the moon rise into the sky, and the dark clouds still block the curved light from time to time.
Zhan Wuxian and Gongzi Ji Zha saw Fei Wuji leave the house from a distance on the road, and hurriedly ran towards the direction of Cai Gongfu. The place where Fei Wuji lived was specially arranged by Xiong Qiji, and it was only one street away from Cai Gong's Mansion. When Zhan Wuxian and Gongzi Jizha passed by the door of Fei Wuji's house, a man stood at the door and looked at Fei Wuji in the distance, his eyes full of love. This person is dressed in black, with a white shirt exposed at the neckline, pure and light, wrapped in skin like frost and jade, with a delicate face, a little powder, and his hair is pulled up, so he is a beautiful son. The moment Zhan Wuxian and Gongzi Jizha passed by, they could see at a glance that this beautiful son turned out to be a woman dressed as a man, and it was Kong Wan'er, the only daughter of Kong Xuanzi.
It turned out that Gongzi Xiong Jian followed Chang Xingjun and Baili Benlei to Qin to borrow troops, and when Chang Xingjun and Baili Benlei went to Qishan to borrow Jinshi, Gongzi Xiong Jian found an excuse to go to Yongcheng to see Yingyi, and by the way, he took Kong Wan'er back to Caicheng. And Ying Yi has never been to the Central Plains, he wants to come out to play, see the prosperity and excitement of the Central Plains, and the son Xiong Jian is also happy to take her with him, so the two will no longer love each other, and they can also just let their father-in-law see, so that they can ask Qin Guo to marry Ying Yi in the future. In order to facilitate travel, Gongzi Xiong Jian asked the two of them to dress up as men, and on the way to Caicheng, they met Chang Xingjun and Baili Benlei and rushed to Caicheng together.
When they led the Spirits to Caicheng, they were just in time for the battle between the corpse beast pawns and the Divine Fire Soldiers. Chang Xingjun knew in his heart that Gongzi Xiong Jian was not the material for war, and he brought two more women, and one was also a princess of Qin, so he didn't dare to be careless, so he first sent someone to secretly send these three people into the city and place them in the Cai Gongfu. After the three armies repelled the corpse beasts, Fei Wuji also came back to recuperate, and Kong Wan'er followed him to Fei Wuji's residence.
Kong Wan'er has endured many hardships and dangers in the past year, but fortunately she met Ying Yi in the Qin State and survived. Kong Wan'er went from the first time she saw Fei Wuji's love, to the deep love, and then to the family disaster, living alone in a foreign country, poor and lonely, not knowing the life and death of her relatives, always hoping that her beloved could come to pick her up, but she didn't expect that the person who came was Gongzi Xiong Jian. Now, finally seeing her lover again, and the two of them are alone in the same room, Kong Wan'er couldn't help but let out a "wow" anymore, and threw herself into Fei Wuji's arms, her tears falling down in a stream. Kong Wan'er was about to talk about her grievances in the past year, and Fei Wuji received an order from Xiong Qiji, and went to the Cai Mansion to discuss important matters.
After Fei Wuji and the others entered the Cai Mansion one after another, Kong Wan'er was reluctant to close the door, only to hear a hoarse voice say, "Son, slow down!" ”
"Who is it?" Kong Wan'er was a little shocked.
"It's me, Wei Chong to see Gongzi."
Kong Wan'er felt in her heart for a while, and suddenly opened the door, and the depressed stone in her heart suddenly hung again. Kong Wan'er saw a person standing at the foot of the steps, ragged and dirty, bending down and bowing his head, but holding a big sword in his hand, which looked particularly bright in the night.
"Are you really Wei Chong?"
"The villain is Wei Chong, and this sword is used as evidence." As he spoke, he placed the big sword in his hand horizontally on top of his hands and handed it to Kong Wan'er.
Kong Wan'er glanced at it and didn't answer. "You're not dead."
"Wei Chong is not dead."
"Your voice ......?"
"My voice became like this, all to avenge my lordship."
"What's wrong with my dad?" Kong Wan'er had a sense of foreboding.
"My lord was killed by someone, and he died tragically under the man's sword, and even his body can not be found."
Thunderbolt on a sunny day, thunder on a cold night.
Kong Wan'er rushed down the steps, grabbed Wei Chong's shoulder, and felt that Wei Chong's body was uneven and pimpled, like a stump full of thistles.
"How did Daddy die, and who killed my Daddy?"
"It's that person." Wei Chong still lowered his head, I don't know if he was ashamed because he didn't protect Kong Xuan, or because he didn't dare to raise his head because of the difference between master and servant in front of Kong Wan'er.
"You and he got up and looked at me, who was that person?"
Wei Chong slowly raised his head, only to see that his face was covered with burn marks, and he was completely unpresented, which frightened Kong Wan'er and took two steps back.
"That person is Fei Wuji, and it's all because of him that I became like this."
"Don't say it." Kong Wan'er was shocked, her heart swayed, and she was at a loss for a while: "That's not true, that's not true." Kong Wan'er couldn't believe that she had gone through all the hardships and finally found her beloved, hoping to be able to stay with him for the rest of her life and never be separated again. Now I heard that the person entrusted with my life was actually my father's killer, such a sudden blow, who can admit it, who wants to believe it.
I became like this just to kill Fei Wuji. Wei Chong was a little depressed: "But my martial arts skills are low, and I am not Fei Wuji's opponent, and I have been defeated by him several times or three times." I came to Childe this time to get Childe to join forces with me to kill Lord Fei Wuji to take revenge. ”
"You're talking nonsense, you're lying. You, you're not Wei Chong. Kong Wan'er shouted hoarsely: "My father was never killed by Brother Fei, Brother Fei is not that kind of person." You go, you go, I don't believe you. ”
Wei Chong wanted to fight harder, but when he saw Kong Wan'er getting emotional and losing herself, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "It doesn't matter if the world doesn't believe me, even you don't believe me." When will the revenge of the adults be avenged? ”
Wei Chong turned around and left gloomily, and said to Kong Wan'er before leaving: "Childe, it's better for you to leave Fei Wuji as soon as possible, this person is narrow-minded, and he will hurt you if you are with him." Also, I will definitely avenge the revenge of adults. After speaking, Wei Chong's figure gradually faded away, he bent over, his figure was slender, miserable and desolate, and slowly disappeared into the night.
Kong Wan'er sat silently on the stone steps alone, desperate and grief-stricken in her heart, and her mind was blank.
A gust of wind blew, and a mulberry tree leaf in front of the door squirmed, falling a few pieces, covered with holes, and kept spinning at Kong Wan'er's feet, just refusing to leave. Kong Wan'er raised her head, and unconsciously her eyes were blurred, as if she had been separated by a veil, and she couldn't see anything clearly. Gradually, the veil became heavier, and Kong Wan'er suddenly felt that her surroundings had become a desert, and everything was black sand, lonely black. Kong Wan'er felt that she had never been so lonely, although she had been alone in a foreign country, and she had never had such an empty heart now, at that time she still had hope and concern in her heart. Now that she heard that the person closest to him was dead, and he was killed by the person he loved the most, how could she accept it, how could she believe it. She would rather believe that Wei Chong was fake, that he was here to deceive, that he was doing it for his own selfish gain, that what he said was false, and that none of this had ever happened.
How Kong Wan'er wished that Fei Wuji could appear in front of her at this moment, hug herself, comfort herself, and say that all this was fake. She raised her head and saw a figure at the end of the black desert, it was Fei Wuji. Kong Wan'er stood up happily, wiped away her tears and ran towards Fei Wuji. She ran and ran, even if her feet got into the bunker. But she ran for a long time, but Fei Wuji was still standing far away in the sky, and no matter how much she ran, she couldn't get close.
Kong Wan'er looked at Fei Wuji, who was close at hand and far away in the sky, and she shouted: "Brother Fei, I'm here, don't go!" But, no matter how much she shouted, the figure remained indifferent, looming in the distance.
Kong Wan'er kept running desperately, her feet were empty, she fell to the ground, and she couldn't catch up anymore. He was so anxious that he cried out with a "wow".
"Wan'er, Wan'er." A voice was calling itself. "Is it Brother Fei?" Kong Wan'er opened her eyes.
"Why is my sister sitting on the ground alone?" A crisp silver bell-like voice came: "My eyes are red, are I reluctant to leave just after seeing my lover." ”
Kong Wan'er looked at herself, she was already a few feet away from her door, so she smiled faintly and replied with a strong spirit: "It's Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
"I told you not to call me a princess, but to call me a sister." The person who came was Ying Yi, the princess of Qin, who was also wearing a black men's dress, looking more sassy and heroic, handsome and handsome, and unparalleled. She got along with Kong Wan'er for a long time in the Qin State, and she was called a sister. Sometimes Kong Wan'er is not used to it, and she calls her a princess, but she is always corrected by Ying Yi.
"Okay, sister, don't make fun of me, how can I have a lover."
"That Fei Wuji ...... just now"
"You're making fun of me again."
"How can I make fun of you, I am connected to you." Ying Yi sighed.
"Are you also ......" Kong Wan'er didn't say the second half of the sentence: Your father was also killed? But when I thought about it, Ying Yi's father was Qin Gong, how could he be killed, I thought too much. Because Kong Wan'er was sad that she had just heard Wei Chong say that her father had been killed, although she didn't believe it, she still had a lot of mustard in her heart. Ying Yi said that their fates were linked, and Kong Wan'er thought that Ying Yi's father had also been killed.
"Yes, Xiong Jian's kid ran away without saying a few words to me, saying that his father had something important to do with him, and I think he was distracted when he arrived in the Central Plains." Win Yi said matter-of-factly.
"Don't speculate, he is in that mood in this chaos. What's more, he is the son of Cai Gong and has the responsibility of defending Cai Cheng. ”
"Alas! I know that too. Did your Fei Wuji also go to the council chamber? ”
"yes, what's wrong?"
"Anyway, we don't have anything to do, let's go check it out."
"Okay? They all talk about fighting wars against the enemy, and we women have nothing to do with it. ”
"What's wrong with women, women can also go into battle to kill the enemy. Besides, your and my martial arts are no worse than those men, but those secular people are prejudiced, and we don't have these rules in the Qin State. We just peeked outside the door. ”
Kong Wan'er said in her heart: Wei Chong said that Brother Fei was my father-killing enemy, although it was not credible, so I accompanied Ying Yi to the council hall to have a look, and I just happened to find out if Brother Fei was the treacherous person Wei Chong said. So he agreed, "Okay, let's go and have a look." It's just that this dress ......"
"This dress is just right, even if someone finds out, they won't guess that we are women dressed as men." After Ying Yi finished speaking, he pulled Kong Wan'er and left.
