Listening to Chi Feng's statement, Ning Yue could be called dumbfounded. Ω Net.

What is hidden under the mask of this invincible Marshal of the Empire West, not only his real face, but also a cowardly heart?

Even if the other party said it himself, and heard the weak voice when he took off his mask just now, Ning Yue was still a little incredulous. But he also knew that Chi Feng wouldn't be joking. In my impression, he has always been very serious and unsmiling.

"I know that normal people would find it incredible to hear me say that. I still remember when I went back to my hometown for the first time after I became the Marshal of the West, my childhood companions came to see me curiously, and they wanted to know whether it was the same name, or if I had really become the Marshal of the Empire after I had been bullied. Of course, I also warned them not to say anything. ”

Chi Feng smiled casually, and in his palm, the tea in the cup was empty.

Ning Yue shrugged helplessly and said, "Then can you ask, when was the first time you put on a mask?" ”

"I'm afraid this has to start with the first time I joined the army, I don't know if you want to hear it."

"It's an honor to listen to the Imperial Marshal tell about his past, which is not something that anyone can have. Wait a minute, I'll go and bring another pot of tea. ”

After that, Ning Yue jumped off the eaves and walked into the room, many people inside were already drunk, laughing loudly and talking, very noisy. There may also be people who feel that the room is stuffy and need to go out to breathe, and some seats are empty.

When he took the pot of tea handed by the attendant, he noticed that Sima Haiwei was not in his seat. Moreover, Zhili was not there. But he didn't think much of it, and returned to the house with the teapot in his hand, and jumped next to Chi Feng to help him fill the teacup.

Taking a sip of tea, Chi Feng smiled: "You also know that the frontier of all nations has always been unpeaceful, and there have been many wars. Empires fight each other, either against the demon tribes in the north or the orc tribes in the west. In fact, in my father's generation, they were proud to join the army and wanted to protect their family and defend the country. However, my father was unsuccessful and had to go home to farm. So, he put his hope in me. Since I was a child, although I was a little cowardly, I was also infected by him, and I also wanted to join the army to defend my family and country. It just so happened that there were uncles and uncles of his generation who had retired from the army in the next few families, and I also practiced swords with other friends since I was a child. ”

Ning Yue nodded and replied, "Then you went to join the army together, and all of them were selected?" ”

"No, later, my father wouldn't let me go. Because several older brothers in the village went, half a year later, a pension was sent back to the village, along with a few bloody clothes, and they all died in battle. After that time, my father no longer mentioned joining the army, nor did he allow me to go to sword training with the rest of my friends, thinking only that I could inherit a dozen acres of land and two dilapidated farms in the family. ”

Chi Feng shook his head with a smile and muttered again.

"But I've been thinking about it for so long, how can I not go? My father didn't allow it, so I secretly got up in the middle of the night to practice my sword, and practiced various movements in the moonlight against a few dead trees at the head of the village. More than two years later, and I was almost sixteen years old, when I heard that the recruitment of soldiers had begun in the city more than ten miles away, so I got up early in the morning, and while my family was still asleep, I took my sword and hurried there. Although there is a shortage of recruits, they must also pass the screening, and at least a few tricks can be passed under the official soldiers to be qualified. ”

Hearing this, Ning Yue said casually: "Presumably you not only made a few moves, but also defeated the other party, right?" So he was looked at differently by a certain officer, and gradually rose to prominence. ”

As the words fell, he suddenly reacted to an important question that he had overlooked.

Masks, hidden cowardly minds.

Sure enough, Chi Feng shook his head and sighed: "Lost, lost badly." The swordsmanship that he is very familiar with practicing against the dead trees is used in actual combat, but he cowers and can't use it. In the first move, he was beaten back and almost fell off the stage, and the sword in his hand was knocked away in the second move. Of course, it was also a declaration that I was defeated. I was so depressed that I picked up my sword and fled to a corner not far away, crying with my head in my arms. At that time, I really couldn't believe that the efforts I had been working so hard were so vulnerable. ”

"And then?" Ning Yue's heart suddenly twitched, he also felt such loss and frustration. Obviously, he gave his best, but it backfired, and it was impossible for the immature heart to be relieved.

"Then, the greatest noble person in my life appeared. A middle-aged man in his fifties quietly came up to me, patted me on the shoulder, and handed me a handkerchief to wipe away my tears. What he said next is something I will never forget in my life. ”

Speaking of this, Chi Feng put down his teacup, looked up at the night sky, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.

"Child, it's sad, isn't it? Yes, very good, that's what you want. Remember this powerless remorse at this moment, because this is the evidence that you haven't given up yet, the evidence that you haven't given up on yourself. As long as you have this heart that will never give up, there is nothing you can't do. ”

Ning Yue nodded and said, "Didn't you give up your own evidence?" Hmph, tears of remorse are not only shed for past failures, but also for the sake of being able to avoid the same tragedy in the future. Presumably, when you heard these words at that time, they were more effective than any comfort, right? ”

Chifeng responded: "Yes, I stopped my tears at that time, and my heart began to throb again. When I looked back, I saw the palm of the other person's outstretched hand. He told me that he could give me another chance. But if I lose, then I will not be able to join the army again in my life. I agreed with him and followed him to the barracks, in a military tent. On the way, all the soldiers who saw him saluted. At that time, I realized that his identity was very unusual. ”

"Isn't it ...... He's the last Marshal of the West, right? Ning Yue blurted out.

"You guessed it, he is the former Marshal of the Imperial West, and he is also my mentor." Chi Feng's nod shocked Ning Yue even more, he ignored the other party's surprised expression, and continued: "In his tent, he took off his helmet and mask from a pair of armor, handed them to me, and asked me to put them on. Tell me, put it on, forget about your original self, remember only the sword in your hand, and remember your goal. Then, he personally fought me. Of course, I couldn't have won, but I didn't lose. ”

Ning Yue came to his senses and said, "Since that time, you have been wearing a mask?" ”

Chi Feng smiled: "Almost, unless you sleep and take a bath, you won't take it off." It was also the old marshal who told me that on the battlefield, many strong armies will wear masks, one is to deter the enemy, the other is to prevent the blood from splashing on the face to cover the vision, and the third point, there are also examples like mine. Stage fright, but with a mask to separate the originally trembling heart, become a real warrior. What he didn't expect, however, was that I became dependent on the mask and could never take it off again. ”

"But even if you rely on a mask, you're still strong. Chi Feng, can you make a pact with me? ”

"Say it."

"How about if one day I can win you, take off your mask and let me see your face?"

"If you can do it, I agree."

The two fists collided together, and the eyes of each other were not only a consensus, but also sympathetic to each other.

"Hey, you two have been talking for so long, it's time to come down, right?"

Under the eaves, Sima Haiwei was beckoning upwards, Ning Yue and Chi Feng naturally couldn't refuse, so they jumped down together and returned to the house. After another half an hour, the dinner party was almost over, and people began to leave.

"Chifeng, I remember that there should be a vacant guest room in your house, right? Ning Yue and Zhili will be placed there first. In the past few days, find a time to help Ning Yue complete the admission procedures of the Imperial Academy and lead him over. It's time for you, the honorary Academy Elder, to show your face. ”

Sima Haiwei said that, Chi Feng took Ning Yue and Zhili and left the restaurant, it was not too deep, and there were still pedestrians on the street. Regarding Chi Feng's appearance in a red robe with a mask, from time to time there were passers-by quietly discussing in private, obviously thinking of something.

Seeing this scene, Ning Yue was secretly smiling in his heart, among the red wolves, probably Chi Feng's outfit was the easiest to reveal his original identity. However, the enemies who have seen him should not have been able to bring the words back.

For some reason, on the way back, Zhili seemed to have something on her mind, and she didn't say a word.

Chifeng's Marshal's Mansion was very spacious, but it was much inferior to Ning Yue's imagination. There was no imposing decoration, no guards on guard, and there were only five soldiers in the huge courtyard, except for an old butler, and all of them seemed to be disabled.

However, in this Silver Wing City, as long as there is a famous Marshal of the West in charge, it is natural that the mountains are not high, and if there are immortals, there is a name, and no young person dares to offend.

The guest rooms were quickly sorted out, very neat and simple, but naturally much better than the cell where the light of day had not seen light a few days ago.

However, Zhili seemed a little reluctant, tugged at Ning Yue's sleeve, and said softly: "Brother Ning Yue, can you let Zhili put a bed next to you to sleep like a few days ago?" ”

"This ...... Not quite right, right? Ning Yuehan laughed a few times.

"I think there's enough space, so be it."

Chi Feng also heard it, and without waiting for Ning Yue to refuse, he lifted a wooden bed in the next guest room with one hand, and quickly placed it in the room, leaning against the wall.

"The two of you can do it yourself, there should be some food and juice left in the kitchen, and the firewood room can boil water for bathing, and if necessary, do it yourself. The people in my house go to bed early. ”

With that, Chi Feng walked away quickly, seemingly deliberately leaving room for the two of them to be alone.

"That Brother Ning Yue...... If Zhili gives you ...... Zhili is saying if, I, I ......"

With her head down, her cheeks were slightly red, Zhili was hesitant, and she wanted to speak again. Finally, under Ning Yue's puzzled gaze, she shook her head vigorously and hurriedly stepped into the house.

"Zhili, what does she want to say?"

Ning Yue didn't know why, so he stood outside the house and said hello.

"Zhili, did you sleep? Don't take a shower first? ”

"After washing in the afternoon, Zhili was tired and wanted to sleep first. Brother Ning Yue, go wash it. ”

By the time Ning Yue returned to the house after taking a bath, it was already a little late, and he had been soaking for a long time. During this period, I couldn't help but think about the past that Chi Feng told me, and everything in the afterlife during this time.

Also, a new start is about to begin.

"Zhili, good night."

Looking at Zhili curled up on the opposite bed in the dark, Ning Yue whispered a thought and lay down on his bed.

He didn't hear a slight muttering in the silence.

"Brother Ning Yue, good night...... Goodbye......"
