Chapter 031: Alone in the Depths

The vast starry sky, the stars, the vast earth, the lonely mountains.

The faint starlight sprinkled on the vast grassland, the majestic mountains stood far ahead, and a lone army of a thousand and five people marched silently on the vast land, like a group of tiny ants that were throwing themselves into a net and walking towards the distant devouring beast.

Is this my destiny? The night breeze in late autumn was already cold, Qin Shen tightened his clothes, and an endless chill of fate surged from the bottom of his heart.

Inexplicable arrest, forced to join the army helplessly, the surging Huns, there seems to be a pair of invisible hands in the dark that forcibly pull him together with this era, half an hour ago, when he stood on the high platform, he had a trace of unreal hallucinations, as if he had seen all this in a dream.

He wished it was really just a dream, and when he woke up, time would fade everything until one day, the dream would become a vague memory in his life, but he also knew that it was not a dream, because there was no such real feeling in the dream.

A cool breeze hit, Qin Shen tightened his clothes tightly, but suddenly he was shocked and stopped his palm on his chest, and the tentacle was the jade pendant that might bring him here.

Through the clothes, he slowly curled his fingers to hold the jade pendant, he could feel the warmth and lubrication of the jade pendant, and he also seemed to feel that the jade pendant was transmitting infinite strength and faith to him, the feeling was quite shocking, as if his hand and the jade pendant were connected and integrated into one and no longer separated from each other.

He really didn't understand.

If there is Providence in this world, then what is the point of Heaven sending me here? In order for me to witness the ups and downs of this two Han Dynasty? Or is it to give me a taste of the right and wrong of this world? In confusion, he let go of his finger and looked into the distance again, and the majestic mountain shadow in the darkness seemed to transform into a protective god at this moment.

At this point, a trace of enlightenment was born in his heart in an instant.

All illusions come from the heart.

Whether it's true or false; Success or defeat. In the future and this life, as long as you face all difficulties head-on, forge ahead, and be worthy of your heart, success or failure, life and death, how important are the causes and consequences?

"You've changed!" Qu Han, who was riding his horse, happened to see this scene through the faint starlight, and whispered as he looked at it.

"Huh?" Qin Shenwei, who was intoxicated by the feeling in his heart, was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what the other party was referring to, turned his head to look at him a few times, and suddenly said, "You have also changed!" ”

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the deep friendship seemed to have become further with these simple but profound words.

"What are you two talking about? Why can't I understand at all? Xue Yu on the other side asked in a sullen voice, looking extremely distressed.

Qin Shen glanced at him, and laughed in a low voice, both true and false: "We are saying that you have also changed." ”

Xue Yu was speechless for a while, and for a while, he always had a feeling that his mind was no longer enough.

Letting go of his embrace, Qin Shen didn't care about him anymore, but since he left the customs, there has always been an indescribable agitation in his chest mixed with various emotions that is difficult to relieve, so that he wants to slowly dilute it by talking to others, but he couldn't find a suitable topic for a while, and after a moment of silence, he said softly: "I suddenly remembered a poem that is the most appropriate to describe this situation." ”

"Listen up." Qu Han's words revealed a bit of anticipation.

Qin Shi Mingyue Han Shi Guan,

The Long March has not yet been returned.

But to make the dragon city fly in,

Don't teach Humadu Yin Mountain.

"Color!" Just after he finished chanting slowly, Xue Yu, who had been distressed by not being able to speak, finally found an opportunity to take the lead in applauding.

Although Qiyan flourished in the Tang Dynasty, a similar format originated from an earlier pre-Qin folk song, because Qin Shen was not worried that the two would classify themselves as different because of this kind of poetry, but after hearing each other's applause, he asked with interest: "Where is Cai?" ”

"This ......" Xue Yu rolled his eyes and groaned, he was simply coloring for the sake of color, but he didn't think about anything else, now that the general asked him, how should he answer?

After thinking about it for a while, he thought that it would not be wrong to pat the horse, so he scratched his head and said happily: "The general's work is naturally colorful, just like your archery skills." ”

Qin Shen couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard this, and after a while, he clarified: "This poem was not written by me, and besides, the civil and military are different, who will tell you that martial arts are wonderful?" ”

"The world has the same end but different paths, the same and a hundred considerations." This time, Xue Yu replied very quickly, and when his voice landed, he immediately responded without thinking.

"Do you know divination?" Qin Shen was surprised and asked.

He remembered that the idiom of different paths and the same return came from "Zhou Yi", and in ancient times, he could read whatever book he wanted on a whim like in later generations, and always looked for the books he wanted with a purpose, and after getting them, he would also regard them as treasures, and study hard to fulfill his long-cherished wishes, so Xue Yu was able to blurt out this sentence, I am afraid that he is also deeply involved in the way of divination.

It was rare to see the coach look so surprised, Xue Yu couldn't help but be quite complacent when he saw this: "Of course! I ......"

"Ahem." Qu Han interrupted it with a light cough, and after giving him a stern look, he turned to Qin Shen and said, "Brother Qin Hugh wants to listen to his nonsense, he just had the honor to observe it for a moment because I borrowed this book before, and I am afraid that he has not understood it, so what can he talk about?" Moreover, most of the words of the scriptures are all tricks, and I hope that Brother Qin will not be obsessed with them. ”

Qin Shen smiled noncommittally at first with his attitude like a great enemy, and then said: "If you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it, I am just curious, and I really can't talk about being obsessed with this way." ”

"That's good." Qu Han said lightly as always, and turned to change the topic: "Listening to Brother Qin's poem, although there is no lack of heroism, it is not without gloom, the Long March has not been returned, and the ...... is thousands of miles."

He whispered this sentence several times, and then turned his head and said in a difficult way: "Brother Qin is not sure of victory in this expedition?" ”

"In the face of a rapidly changing war, how many people dare to say that they will win?" Qin Shen shook his head and sighed slightly, thought for a moment and said: "But it's not completely uncertain, it's just that whenever I think that I want to lead this prosperous Qianwu to contain tens of thousands of Huns, I will inevitably have a tragic feeling that the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone, and this is not for my own ......."

As he spoke, he looked back at the many soldiers hidden behind him who could only see a vague figure behind him, and sighed deeply, not without sentimentality: "It's for them!" ”

Qu Han lowered his head and silently savored the tragedy and helplessness of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin for a moment, and then looked ahead and said, "In that case, why didn't Brother Qin refuse it at that time?" Although Brother Qin did not say it explicitly after his return, I believe that Du Wei did not order you, but consulted you. ”

Facing Qu Han's slightly questioning words, Qin Shen sighed silently and said no more.

"You're too amorous!" Qu Han looked directly at him and said slowly with three points of emotion and seven points of helplessness, his eyes returned to the deep dark night, and said in a deep voice: "I am not accusing you when I say this, for ordinary people, affection may be a rare advantage, but for those who are fighting on the battlefield, this may make you fall into a place of no return!" ”

Qin Shen didn't immediately deny or make any answer to this, but he was silent for a moment without knowing what to think, and said calmly and lightly: "Brother Qu, has you forgotten about Augustus?" ”

But in the end, you still let everyone go! Qu Han opened his mouth and almost blurted out, but what was the point? If this is true to him, will he change because of his words? Even so, everything he said was just to cause trouble to the other party.

A person's mind will only be as firm as iron after a thousand tempers! Qu Han sighed helplessly and stopped talking.

The army silently continued to march through the grassland that seemed to have no end in the darkness, and a meteor flew through the night sky overhead and disappeared into the distant mountains, as if pointing out the direction of the lamp moth to the fire for the people who were not afraid of death, and as if sending the last journey for the people who were brave enough to move forward.

Silently feeling this depressing atmosphere, Qu Han's heart felt extremely heavy, and he casually opened the conversation box and said: "Listening to the meaning of the last two sentences of Fang Cai's poem, Brother Qin seems to be intentionally referring to himself as General Li Guangli, but although Brother Qin's courage is comparable to General Li, it is a pity that he ......."

At this point, I was slightly stunned and woke up, and secretly said Am I also upset? But he had to continue to speak bluntly on the topic just now: "But it's a pity that General Li didn't end very well." ”

"I just feel something in my heart, how dare I compare myself to General Li!" Qin Shen laughed at himself, as if he was unaware of the unintentional but somewhat cursed meaning contained in his words, until a moment later, he sighed unwillingly as if he had confessed his heart: "Besides, even if I really have the ability and merit of General Li, I am afraid that there will not be a second Emperor Wu of Han in this world who will let me end up like this!" ”

Listening to his proud and confident words, Qu Han looked at him deeply through the faint light, lest he say more and be wrong, so he didn't say a word.
