Mo Chu walked alone in the endless desert, the scorching sun pierced his skin, his mouth was dry, his throat was smoky, and he felt that he was really about to turn into a grilled salted fish.

This line came to his mind, "If people don't have dreams, then what's the difference between them and stinky salted fish." "At this time, he is not much better than salted fish, he has no goal, no direction, and no idea where to go. But the harsh environment forced him to move forward, not stop, if he stopped, he would wait for death, he didn't want to die, he could only move forward aimlessly.

Mo Chu kept walking forward, and he didn't know how long it took, his numb feet could no longer support his tired body, and he finally collapsed. He looked up at the blue sky, the heat seemed to subside, and he began to crawl forward, moving his body little by little.

Suddenly, he noticed a body in front of him. He crawled faster, and finally reached his body. Where did he stay with wide eyes, the specific body was Liu Qian. Liu Qian still had a faint breath.

Mo Chu picked up Liu Qian and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Liu Qian, wake up!" But Liu Qian couldn't hear anything.

Mo Chu began to go berserk, crying loudly, but his dry throat could not make a sound. He raised his eyes and found several more bodies, he crawled over frantically, only to see that the people lying on the ground were Nangong Xin, Gongsun Qi, Ouyang Xue and Zhen Cheng. They are all like Liu Qian, dying.

At that moment, Mo Chu suddenly found the meaning of his existence: to take his relatives out of the desert and out of the predicament. He found a broken tent, placed several bodies on it, and pulled it forward with a rope. He used all his strength, but the broken tent was still motionless, and he cried out in a hurry, and moved forward desperately.

Mo Chu kept telling himself that he must live, and only by living can he help more people. He struggled with all his might.

Nangong Xin sat on the edge of the bed and saw Mo Chu's hands and feet waving, tears flowing. She exclaimed, "Brother Chu, what's wrong with you, wake up!"

She called and shook Mo Chu's body. Mo Chu opened his eyes and saw Nangong Xin looking at him anxiously, his face full of tears.

"I'm fine, I just had a nightmare. He then asked, "What time is it now?"

"It's midnight ugly. Nangong Xin replied, "Are you better now, I'm scared to death!"

Mo Chu didn't look back at her question, and asked rhetorically, "Has Brother Gongsun found it?"

Nangong Xin shook her head, and tears flowed down again.

Brother Mo's heart ached again, but a voice told him to hold on, to calm down!

"Senior sister, I'm a little hungry, can you give me something to eat?" Nangong Xin heard that he wanted to eat, and his heart was a little happy, "If you want to eat, it means that he still has the desire to live, and if people have desires, they can survive." She thought about it as she went out to get something to eat.

After Nangong Xin left, Mo Chu began to concentrate and go through the recent events in his mind. How did the people of the Yue Kingdom know that Gongsun Qi was managing the Wei River downstream, how could they control the time so well, how could Lin Tianjiao appear by the Wei River, and why did she hold on to Gongsun Qi tightly. Could it all be a conspiracy they have laid out. Now that the Great General is missing, what is their next plan. Thinking of the next step, Mo Chu was shocked in his heart, and immediately stood up, just as Nangong Xin and the others also walked into the room.

"Childe, you finally woke up, this is the porridge that the princess made for you herself. Qiu Cicada said as he fed Mo Chu.

"Little junior brother, you are so blessed, the princess has only woken up for more than an hour, regardless of her weak body, she insists on cooking herself and cooking porridge for you. Zhen Cheng looked at him with a smile.

"Thank you, princess, how can I bear it!" Mo Chu looked at Nangong Xin gratefully.

"You have saved my life many times, and now I have your blood flowing in my body, and I should make you a bowl of porridge. Nangong Xin looked at him affectionately.

After Mo Chu drank the porridge, he said to Qiu Cicada: "Please clean up." ”

Qiu Chan smiled, "Childe is polite, this is what I should do." With that, he walked out of the room.

Mo Chu beckoned to Zhen Cheng and said, "You immediately summon a few lieutenant generals." ”

Zhen Cheng understood and immediately went out to find someone.

After Nangong Xin saw them leaving, he asked softly: "You branch the autumn cicada, there must be something urgent to recruit a few generals in the middle of the night." ”

Mo Chu glanced at Nangong Xin, "If you are the commander of the Yue Kingdom, what will happen to you when you know that the general of the Chu State has an accident?"

"Then I will definitely send troops to attack!" As soon as Nangong Xin finished speaking, he immediately realized that Hanyu Pass was in danger.

It didn't take long for several lieutenants to arrive.

"I wonder what the princess is in a hurry to greet the last general late at night?" asked Deputy Commander Hu Jun.

"Now that the flood in Hanyuguan has not been solved, and the general has suddenly suffered misfortune, I invite the generals to come over late at night to discuss countermeasures. Nangong Xin continued, "At present, the life and death of the general is undecided, and the Yue people will take advantage of the chaos to sneak attack at any time. ”

After hearing this, Hu Jun hesitated for a moment, and said slowly, "Mo Shaoxia is the leader of the martial arts alliance, resourceful, and even General Gongsun admires him very much, how dare we disobey." ”

Mo Chu interrupted him, "I have never led troops, nor have I fought a war, the army is still under the command of General Hu, I just provide some of my thoughts for your reference." ”

Seeing this, Nangong Xin had no choice but to give up.

Mo Chu quickly told everyone what he thought. When several generals heard this, they were all shocked. Mo Chu then elaborated on the corresponding countermeasures, and the generals nodded again and again.

At this moment, Qiu Cicada pushed the door in, "It's so late, the generals are still deliberating." ”

Mo Chu hurriedly continued: "General Gongsun's life and death are unknown, and we are discussing how to find him." ”

"Now everyone is busy with the general's business, what if Yue Guo comes to sneak attack?" Qiu Cicada asked casually.

"It's raining heavily in Hanyu Pass, who will send troops to fight in this weather, and besides, the people of the Yue country don't know that our general is missing. Nangong Xin tried her best to cover it up.

Hu Jun's reaction was not slow, "It's important to find a general, and we will also step up our precautions externally." ”

"You're right, I'm overthinking. Qiu Chan continued, "The general is such a good person, it will be fine, childe, I will also go to find the general tomorrow." After saying that, the tears flowed again.

Mo Chu smiled faintly, "Okay, I'll trouble you to take me to meet someone later." Mo Chu turned to the others and said, "It's late at night, please go back and rest." The crowd retreated.

"Brother Chu, you just woke up, do you still want to go out so late?" Nangong Xin asked with concern.

"It's okay, I've slept for so long, going out to move my muscles. He then said to the autumn cicada, "Let's go." ”

Mo Chu and Qiu Cicada chatted while walking.

"Childe, please don't blame the princess, she shouldn't know about destroying the dam. Autumn Cicada said.

"Didn't General Gongsun ask you to tell Ouyang Xue that the two countries would build the Wei River together, and within a few days, Yue Guo would do such a crazy thing. Mo Chu was very angry.

"I haven't had time to tell the princess yet, so she doesn't know anything. Autumn Cicada was busy explaining.

"You didn't send the news back to Yueguo, how did they know?" Mo Chu asked again.

"It is estimated that it was the meticulous work of the Yue Kingdom, and they sent people to monitor our every move, so the general suffered this catastrophe. Qiu Cicada analyzed.

After more than an hour, they came to a small courtyard, and Qiu Cicada came up to knock on the door, and she tapped it twice, then hit it three times, and repeated it twice. After a while, the door opened, and a subordinate led them in.

Ouyang Xue sat in the inner room, and Mo Chu walked in and closed the door.

"What are you looking for me in the middle of the night?" Ouyang Xue saw him, her face full of surprise and curiosity.

"Gongsun Qi, the general of the Chu State, was washed away by the dam of the reservoir destroyed by the Yue State, do you know about this?" Mo Chu's eyes were aggressive.

"You just crawled out of the ghost gate and came to me in the middle of the night, just to blame me?" Ouyang Xue scolded angrily.

"The life and death of Gongsun Qi, the general of the Chu State, is unknown, should I find things clear?" Mo Chu asked rhetorically.

"Gongsun Qi really had an accident, Zhang Li, they won't be so stupid, destroy the reservoir dam, how will the people of Yue live in the future?" Ouyang Xue asked Lianzhu.

"This was what I asked you, but you asked me in turn?" Mo Chu said angrily.

"Even if there is such a thing, it is also a matter between Yue and Chu, what does it have to do with you, an outsider?" Ouyang Xue asked.

"It doesn't matter to me, Gongsun Qi is my friend, and I will definitely take care of how many innocent people you have destroyed the reservoir and dam. Mo Chu's face was full of righteousness.

"Don't pretend to be a big hero, you obviously want to please the princess of Chu State. Ouyang Xue said sarcastically.

"You're unreasonable. Mo Chu's face turned red with anger.

Ouyang Xue slowly calmed down, "I don't know what Gongsun Qi is doing, I don't know where he will be, and I won't do anything like destroying the dam that harms others and is not beneficial to myself." ”

"Then the autumn cicada didn't come to you?" Mo Chu asked again.

"We haven't seen each other since we last saw you. Ouyang Xue replied.

Mo Chu saw that her answer was so direct and crisp, not like she was telling a lie. Ouyang Xue's words are also consistent with Qiu Cicada's, so Ouyang Xue should not know about this matter.

Ouyang Xue saw him in a daze, anxious, "Don't you still believe me? If I really kill the general of the Chu State, do I dare to stay in Chu now?"

Mo Chu came back to his senses, "What would a person like you not dare." ”

"After talking for a long time, you still don't believe me. Ouyang Xue was really angry.

Mo Chu pretended not to see, "How did you know Qiu Cicada?"

"When I was eight or nine years old, she was sent into the palace to serve me. Ouyang Xue replied, "What, you suspect her?"

"Until things are figured out, anyone can be the object of suspicion. Mo Chu's expression was serious.

"She's been with me for almost ten years, how is it possible!" Ouyang Xue exclaimed.

"Anything can happen in this world. After the general's accident, Hanyuguan will definitely conduct a big search, you leave this place immediately, it is not advisable to stay for a long time. Mo Chu persuaded.

"I didn't think you would care about my safety. Ouyang Xue's voice was very soft, so light that it was almost inaudible.

"Now that Zhang Li is in power, you'd better not trust anyone. If you make a wrong judgment, you will lose your life. For the person in front of him who wanted to put himself to death repeatedly, Mo Chu didn't hate it for some reason, but had the urge to protect her.

"Thank you, I will. If you are recovering from a serious illness, you still have to take good care of your body. Ouyang Xue said with a smile.

Mo Chu didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and turned to leave. Ouyang Xue looked at his back, and her heart ached, "God, why don't you want him to be my friend, but let him be my enemy?"
