Chapter 2 The snow is as drifting as the night today
In the air, the dark clouds in the sky had already been dispersed by the strong impact.
On the ground, the soldiers fought bloodily, and the blood had stained the land red, and they looked so cautious.
"In my opinion, you should not be stubborn. And I promise not to hurt the child's life, just to get his divine image. β
Chu Zelin was still the same heroic appearance at this time, but there were a few more traces on his armor.
"Impossible!" Gongsun Yumo spat out a mouthful of blood, which also contained a few broken teeth, but he didn't care, "That kid is everything to me, even if it is to fight for my life, I won't allow others to hurt him at all!"
"Then have you ever thought about the people under you?" Chu Zelin asked, "Aren't their lives their lives?"
Gongsun Yumo was silent, struggling in his heart. He knew how many people would die in this battleβall of them were fresh lives, and how could he bear it in his heart.
The two men in the sky stopped, quietly facing each other in the air, no collision of moves, and no verbal exchange. Gongsun Yumo looked at the soldiers who were injured, bleeding, and even killed for themselves, his fists were clenched, and his mouth was open and closed with his teeth, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Hold on! The archers will release their arrows to support the Imperial Guards in front of the city gate!
Gongsun Tuo stood on the city wall and shouted loudly, his voice becoming hoarse. But as if he didn't know how to get tired, he just bought one after anotherβhe didn't use any extra energy to care about other things, because, he knew that the real battle had not yet begun, and the cultivators who could decide the direction of a battle had not yet begun to collide head-onβhowever, the defenders were already in decline at this time.
"My lord, do you want to open the Great Array of City Defense?"
A young centurion knelt on one knee in front of Gongsun Tuo, the blood flowing from his face had formed a scab, mixed with the blood of unknown people.
"Wait. Gongsun Tuo was still staring at the enemy's unmobilized team, and the horses in front of the chariot were even pacing leisurely. Suddenly, his pupils tightened suddenly, and he shouted to the messenger behind him in a panic: "Quick, go and open the big array!"
I saw a long sword rise from the chariot and rush towards the defenders of Youxiong City.
"Sword Pavilion, Lu Qingchen!?"
Gongsun Tuo exclaimed in surprise, didn't care about other things, jumped on the wall, rushed into the air, his fist flashed with golden light, and shouted angrily: "Golden Wolf Breaking Mountain Fist!"
In an instant, the fist and the long sword collided together, making a piercing roar, which shocked the ears of the soldiers below with blood. Later, Gongsun Tuo fell back to the city wall, and the long sword also turned around and flew back to the chariot.
"Lu Qingchen, don't you Sword Pavilion don't care about mortal things, when did you get mixed up with the Chu State thousands of miles away?"
Gongsun Tuo shouted to the man in the chariot, holding his hands behind his back to block the blood marks on his hands from the collision just now.
"The matter of the Divine Map is a matter of the world, since you are the confidant of King Ji, you must know the purpose of our trip - after all, the Divine Map is not something that a small country like you can have. β
An old man volleyed up from the chariot and caught his sword in mid-air.
"We don't need to worry about the affairs of Ji Guo yet. β
There was only one sentence to answer him.
"Has he really reached the Open Heaven Realm? Gongsun Tuo muttered to himself in his heart, his brows furrowed, his hand held harder, and the wound he had been trying to cover was squeezed and more blood flowed out. Suddenly, he saw another figure rise into the air, and at the same time, a snowflake gently fell to the tip of his nose and quietly melted. Gongsun Tuo's body gradually became cold, and I don't know if it was because of the heavy snow that had fallen again.

"King Chu, I just want to ask you, have you ever felt like you want to protect a person - even if you die for him?"
Gongsun Yumo finally broke the silence and asked in a low voice to the dashing and uninhibited man in front of him, with indescribable emotion in his words.
"Hmph," Chu Zelin scoffed at Gongsun Yumo's appearance, "You have all reached our realm, you have all understood so much, and your love is still so narrow." β
Gongsun Yumo shook his head and said, "You haven't loved, so, you don't understand." He looked at the snowflakes falling from the higher sky, a little distracted.
"When I think about it, the snow that night was the same as it was today. His mind went back to that day a few years ago.

The man walked alone in the alley, dressed in a black robe, with a loose footstep, and from time to time he looked up at the snow floating in the skyβit was so white, even in the dim night sky, there was a glimmer of light. But there was a sad look in his eyes, and every time he saw such a scene, a graceful figure would appear in his heart, and the endless sadness that followed.
He walked numbly, immersed in memories of the past, until he came to a humble courtyard, from which came a childish cry.
He gently pushed open the already rusty wooden door and headed towards the house. look in.
A woman sat at the bedside and whispered to the man lying on the bed, and in the cradle beside her, a baby was crying, but she ignored it.
The man understood what had happened here, and looked at the woman with a look of pity, but not the pity of a rich man for a beggar, but as if he were in the same sickness.
"Excuse me. β
He whispered, not wanting to scare the woman.
The woman didn't react, just looked down at the man on the bed.
The man sighed, stepped into the house with his front feet, and said in a loud voice to the woman in the house, "If necessary, I can help you deal with the aftermath for your husband." β
The woman finally reacted, stopped muttering, stood up and turned around. The man finally saw her face - she had the beauty of the country and the city, she was slightly pale at this time, her phoenix eyes were red, and there were two tear stains on her face, but it still did not destroy her beauty, and even everyone couldn't help but feel pity after seeing it. She raised her red lips lightly and replied to the man, "Thank you, sir, but the woman thinks it is better to bury her husband herself." β
She lowered her head and said in a deep voice, with indelible grief in her words. She turned her head to look at the baby in the cradle, and then there was a glimmer of brilliance in her eyes.
"If I can, can I ask an adult to take care of my child?"
The man was stunned for a moment, looked at the infant child, and his expression suddenly became a little flustered. But out of the principle of doing good deeds to the end, he still agreed.
"Okay, okay. β
When the woman saw the man's appearance, she unconsciously chuckled, picked up the child, who was still crying, and prepared to hand it to the man.
"This, this... β
The man became more and more disorganized, but the child was still thrust into his arms. A miraculous scene happened, and when he reached the man's arms, the child stopped crying, looked at the man with big eyes, and babbled happily.
"It seems that this child is really related to adults!" The woman was a little surprised at this time.
The man looked down at the child in his arms, looked at his big bony eyes, and felt indescribable joy in his heart.
"What's the child's name?" he asked.
"Not up yet. Originally, I wanted his father to give him a full moon.γγ But.. The woman replied, and her eyes drifted again.
"I'm sorry," the man panicked again, trying to say something to change the subject, but he couldn't think of anything.
Seeing the man's panicked self-blame, the woman covered her mouth and laughed again, and said to the man:
"Why don't you ask an adult to name your child? β
"Okay. The man dragged his chin with his hand and thought for a moment, "Why don't you call it a castle keeper - by the way, what's his father's last name?"
The man asked subconsciously, but suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing again, and hurriedly wanted to say something to make amends. However, this time the woman did not change anything, and just replied flatly, "Okay, let's call it Tenshu!" Gongsun Tenshu, that's a good name - by the way, I forgot to tell you that his father's surname is Gongsun." β
"Happens to have the same last name as me," the man scratched his head and looked down at the child. The child also looked at him at this time, smiling happily, waving his little hand to touch the man's face.
The man completely forgot the sadness in his heart, and said to himself, "Is this a gift from her spirit in the sky?" He touched the baby's ruddy little face, his eyes were a little moist, but at this time he said happily: "Little castle keeper, you will be my little castle keeper from now on!"
At the same time, he swore in his heart that as long as he had one breath left, he would do everything in his power to protect this child, his child.
γγγ
In Gongsun Yumo's body, a powerful force was condensing, and his gaze became firm.
"What, are you crazy?" Chu Zelin looked at him in surprise, as if he was looking at a madman, "You know that you can't defeat me, why do you still do this?
"'As long as there is one breath left, I will do everything in my power to protect Tian'er,' I made that vow that day. β
Gongsun Yumo said to the man in front of him, his tone was so firm. Then, he took a deep breath and yelled with all his might.
"My grandson Yumo is here. Send a 'Double King Battle' to Chu Zelin, the King of Chu!!"
Suddenly, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and an ancient ring slowly condensed in the air.
