Chapter 685: Death and Resurrection
Nangong Yu asked himself if he didn't like to be a hero, in addition to this inexplicable responsibility for his family and country, he also had an expectation in his heart, that is, to return to Jingzhou City and meet Su Jin as soon as possible.
However, the situation here is critical, and he really can't just go back. Tens of thousands of lives, no matter how ruthless he was, he couldn't abandon them, and watched them die under the swords of Luo Yuanguo's soldiers.
General Qi Wei pursed his lips, and when he wanted to persuade him again, Nangong Yu raised his hand and stopped what he was about to say.
"This time, we don't necessarily have to lose. General," he called, beckoning him forward. General Qi Wei was a little stunned, and then walked up. I saw Nangong Yu staring at the map in front of him, then pointed to a mountain range on the map, and said, "This is our last chance, if we lose here, we will really lose." ”
General Qi Wei looked over, then was stunned, and then looked up at Nangong Yu.
"General, can you trust me?"
General Qi Wei suddenly knelt down and hugged his fists, "The last general believes in himself, but the minister still has something to ask for." ”
"General, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
The silver hair on General Qi Wei's head has fallen a little, he has been fighting for many years, and he is only for the Chen Kingdom. Until now, he has not been afraid in the slightest.
A generation of loyal ministers has withered bones, and General Qi Wei would rather die than defend until the last moment. Correct......
He paused, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly, "The last general privately thinks that the emperor can indeed stay to do the last desperate fight, but at the last moment, if the Chen Kingdom is really defeated, the last general hopes that the emperor can evacuate here with someone first." The country can't be without a king for a day, as long as the emperor is still there, the end will think that there is still hope for the Chen country! ”
Nangong Yu looked at him silently, his face was indifferent and calm, and no one else could see what his mood was at the moment.
General Qi Wei and him are now monarchs and ministers, but in the past, they were also teachers and friends. At that time, he followed General Qi Wei's subordinates and received a lot of guidance from General Qi Wei. Until now, Nangong Yu is actually a little grateful to him.
For a while, the silence in the tent made the atmosphere inside a little strange. General Qi Wei knelt there with his fists clenched, his head stubbornly bowed all the time.
Nangong Yu pursed her lips, and then her eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly spit out a word, "Okay." ”
With just one word, General Qi Wei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
In his opinion, Nangong Yu is a rare imperial talent, and with him, Chen Guo will definitely not fall easily. That's why he knelt down like this, begging Nangong Yu to decisively evacuate here at a time of crisis. Otherwise, if there is no king in the kingdom of Chen, it will be a matter of time before the kingdom of Chenguo will perish.
General Qi Wei lowered his hand, and a smile slowly appeared on his wrinkled face. When he was trembling and about to get up, Nangong Yu stepped forward and helped him up directly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." He thanked him, and stepped forward with Nangong Yu, and when their eyes fell on the map again, they were solemn. Immediately afterward, the two buried their heads and began to discuss the battle plan together.
……
When the sky was getting dark, General Qi Wei came out of Nangong Yu's tent. Tianming personally sent General Qi Wei away, and after that, he turned around and entered the tent. He raised his eyelids, looked at Nangong Yu, who was still standing there contemplatively, and asked, "Your Majesty, this task will be completed by your subordinates, right?" ”
Nangong Yu's body stiffened slightly, raised his eyes, and looked at Tianyang. Because the sky was dark and the candles in the tent were not bright, Nangong Yu couldn't see what kind of expression Tianyang had on his face at this time.
But after thinking about it, from Jingzhou City to here, Tianyang seems to be much quieter than usual.
"Skyyang ......"
"Your Majesty, Tianyang has always been waiting for you, so Tianyang is also the most familiar with you. Now, if someone really needs to complete this, Tianyang thinks that it must be himself. He said calmly, a darkness beneath his eyes.
As early as when Nangong Yu and General Qi Wei discussed countermeasures, he had such an idea. After some deep thought, he finally made up his mind.
Nangong Yu's face changed slightly, and he bit his lip and said, "Since you know that you have always followed me, then you should understand that I have never regarded you as a subordinate all along, but you understand." ”
"Tianyang understands."
"So, if something happens to you, you want me to ......"
"But in the entire barracks, no one is more suitable than me, and no one knows the emperor better than me. At a critical moment, I am the only one who can take the lead in guessing the emperor's thoughts. If this matter is handed over to someone else to do, I am afraid that it will definitely lose, but if it is handed over to me, it has a fifty percent chance of winning. ”
"Tianyang!" Nangong Yu was displeased, and her voice suddenly raised.
In the shadows, Tianyang fell to his knees because of his voice. Nangong Yu was extremely angry, and when he had just taken a step, Tianyang said again, "Tianyang implores the emperor to let his subordinates complete this task!" As he spoke, he leaned down and immediately kowtowed to Nangong Yu a few times.
Nangong Yu's eyes were dark and she began to pace back and forth. By the faint light of the candle, I could vaguely see a hint of anger on his face.
Tianyang was personally selected by him at the beginning, and because he has grown up since he was a child, Nangong Yu's feelings for him naturally do not need to be said. Right now, if he is asked to take risks for himself, how can he be willing?!
Nangong Yu walked a few steps, stopped, looked at Tianyang, and saw that he was still kneeling there, opened his mouth, and then paced back and forth again.
Half-paid, he asked angrily, "Do you know the danger of this mission?" ”
"I know, but if I can do things for the emperor, Tianyang can not be afraid of life and death. Besides, this matter has been replaced by someone else, and it has failed, isn't it the same?! ”
"You, you're not like them!" Nangong Yu gritted her teeth and indirectly admitted her selfishness.
Yes, he also has mercy on the lives of others, but he still makes some distinctions between the lives of people in his selfish heart.
"However, subordinates do not necessarily fail." He said slowly, then raised his head and looked at Nangong Yu.
"Tianyang, trust the emperor ......"
Nangong Yu was stunned for a moment, looking at Tianyang a little dumbfounded. After a long time, he lowered his eyelids, sighed, and said, "Okay, then...... This mission is up to you. ”
As soon as the words fell, the corners of Tianyang's mouth hooked slightly, he leaned over again and kowtowed solemnly to Nangong Yu, "My subordinates will not dishonor the emperor's order, and in this mission, I will do my best to let my Chen Kingdom die and live later!" ”
