Chapter 504: May I Serve the Country with This Length (14)
"Ah Li, we are not going to enjoy the mountains and rivers, there are many dangers along the way, it is better for you to stay in this marshal's mansion." As Jiang Li expected, Liu Yijie refused.
Jiang Li thought for a while and had a new reason: "Uncle Liu, didn't you say that my brother did not die at the hands of the Huns, but very likely at the hands of this mysterious force?" I want to go and see who killed my brother. ”
Liu Yijie looked at Jiang Li, thought for a long time, his eyes were deep, and people couldn't see their emotions: "Okay, I can't refuse a sister's heart that wants to ask for truth and justice for her brother's death." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Liu." Jiang Li was very happy.
In fact, Lin Du knew that Jiang Li was not happy at all, and she didn't want to accompany Liu Yijie and Zhou Jinchen to go through this ghost gate.
Liu Yijie took the guards, and together with Zhou Jinchen and Jiang Li, he went to Liangzhou.
The person Liu Yijie captured earlier confessed that there was a contact point in the Tengger Desert outside Liangzhou City.
But the man didn't know what he said, he only said that the leader had taken him there, and he didn't know what the mechanism looked like along the way, and he didn't know how to get into the underground contact point.
Liu Yijie and his entourage walked around the Tengger Desert for three days like headless flies.
The desert night was very cold, and Jiang Li sat by the campfire to keep warm.
Zhou Jinchen walked over, took one of his clothes, and handed it to Jiang Li, "You girls are frail, don't suffer from the cold, the schedule is very tight these days, you pay more attention." ”
Jiang Li raised his eyebrows, deliberately playing a petty role and teasing Zhou Jinchen: "Are you afraid that I will delay your trip?" Or is General Zhou concerned about me? ”
Zhou Jinchen paused for a moment, not knowing how to answer, he thought for a long time: "Even if it is...... Even if it's a concern. ”
Zhou Jinchen is a very cute man, obviously he cares, but if he says it, it is often not like that.
Lin Du laughed wantonly, anyway, she is a wisp of wind now, even if she laughs presumptuously, it seems to outsiders that the wind is blowing harder.
Zhou Jinchen's personality has a lot to do with his growth environment, he served in Ganzhou Wei very early, worked hard step by step, and rolled out a peerless martial arts on the knife, but he has not been in contact with any women because of this, and he is not good at expressing his emotions.
He and Jiang Li sat by the bonfire together, Jiang Li looked at Zhou Jinchen's heroic eyebrows reflected by the bonfire, and there was a little gentleness in his eyes.
Suddenly, Jiang Li remembered the night they first met.
That night, the two of them faced each other with swords, both of them were embarrassed, and Zhou Jinchen's eyes were so thick that he couldn't dissolve the killing intent, but he didn't kill himself.
Why would he let go of a killer who wanted to kill him, and let go of a disciple of an underground organization who framed him for his life, this is a question that Jiang Li has never figured out so far.
"Jinchen, if I ......" Jiang Li wanted to ask him what he would do if she did something wrong, if she deceived him.
But when she saw Zhou Jinchen's eyes, she was suddenly speechless.
Any assumption is meaningless, because she has deceived him, she has done many wrong things, and she is deeply guilty.
She asked him what he would do, and what could he do, sooner or later, the Demon Gate and Zhou Jinchen would be dead or alive.
"Ah Li, I actually hope you can be happier." Zhou Jinchen picked up the firewood and fiddled with the bonfire, "You should live a happier life, don't always suppress so many emotions, you are only twenty years old." ”
Yes, Jiang Li often feels that she is only twenty years old, but she seems to be dying, living in a dark corner that cannot see the light all the year round, so that her youth that should be free and easy is blood and tears rolling down together.
She didn't want to talk to Zhou Jinchen about this topic in detail, she wasn't sure if her concentration was really that good, so she changed the topic stiffly: "Jinchen, my brother often said that your martial arts are amazing, and you are very neat and neat, who are you trained from?" ”
"My master, a ranger in the rivers and lakes." Zhou Jinchen was reluctant to reveal the name of the master, "My parents died when I was a child, and after the master taught me martial arts, he left me in Ganzhouwei." My sword skills are crisp and neat, except because my master doesn't like fancy, but because there is no need for showmanship on the battlefield, if I can't kill with one blow, then it is very likely that I will die, and war is so cruel. ”
Both parents died when he was a child, which is somewhat similar to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li thought that if a martial arts wizard like him was discovered by Xiao Hui at the beginning, he would definitely be brought back to the Demon Gate, but now the owner of an altar is not necessarily Xiao Yi, but Zhou Jinchen and her may be the same person......
She shook her head, how could she think so, a hero like Zhou Jinchen should not be associated with a dark place like the Demon Gate, he should face the sun, he should be his general who guards the safety of the people.
In this world, the killer with great sins, it is enough for her to do it, don't pull the next Zhou Jinchen to come.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Jinchen saw that Jiang Li had not spoken, so he asked.
"Nothing." Jiang Li looked at him sideways, "General Zhou, it's very tiring to practice martial arts." ”
"It's okay, I like martial arts." Zhou Jinchen recalled when he was young, "I was tired at the beginning, when I was young, layers of skin fell off, and scars climbed up. Fortunately, I am a man with rough skin and thick flesh, if it were a girl like you, your parents would have to die of distress. ”
Parents? Jiang Li lowered her head, where did she have parents? When she practiced martial arts, she was even more cruel than Zhou Jinchen, she practiced martial arts in order to survive in the sea of corpses and blood, if she was not strong enough, she would be killed. Yes, if her parents knew that she was crawling in the sea of learning, they would definitely feel distressed.
Zhou Jinchen thought that he had touched Jiang Li's sadness, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I forgot, your parents died early." ”
Jiang Li remembered that in the life story that Wen Lun made up, their parents died when Wen Li was very young, "It's okay." ”
"It's late at night, you go and rest in the tent." Zhou Jinchen thought that Jiang Li had not rested because she was not at ease with the unfamiliar environment here and the guards she didn't know, so she reassured Jiang Li: "I will stay in front of your tent, you can just sleep in peace, if something calls me, I will always be there." ”
"Okay." Jiang Li is not sleepy, but she just wants to go to the camp to rest, and she wants to know what it is like to be guarded.
In the past 20 years, she has never been protected, Xiao Hui will only throw her in danger, it is her ability to come back, and she can't complain about others if she can't come back.
Xiao Hui has always taught her that they killers can't be trusted and relied on anyone, they can only rely on themselves, and relying on others means handing over their lives to others, which is the most unsafe thing in the world.
