Chang Tai looked at Rouge suspiciously, but Rouge nodded and said: "Not only the old general can, but Zuo Tianyou can also do it, this is something that only the blood of the Zuo family can do, otherwise the general thinks that Zuo Tianyou, a child who has been oppressed and guarded by the imperial court for several years, how can he survive on the cruel battlefield." The imperial court took advantage of the Zuo family, but the imperial court wanted the secrets of the Zuo family more. Okay, Rouge has said enough to adults, this matter has nothing to do with adults, and adults don't need to ask more, just hand over the porcelain ** to the person behind the adult, and it's okay. ”

Chang Tai took the porcelain ** and did not open it, but looked at Rouge's eyes and asked: "Just now the Rouge girl said that the old general Zuo has a testament, and since him, the people of the Zuo family can't drive the deceased to do anything other than returning to his hometown?" ”

"Yes, I said that!"

"In that case, why does Zuo Tianyou still disobey the ancestral teachings?"

The cold light in Rouge's eyes flashed, and he looked at Chang Tai with a smile: "For adults, is it more important to follow the ancestral teachings than to save your own life?" When Zuo Tianyou was sent to the battlefield by the Holy Queen's grace, he was only a teenager, and he was powerless, he had no long things, and in the face of a fierce enemy who only wanted his life, in addition to being afraid and crying, all he could do was try his best to save his life. The ant is still stealing, and he is still a person. ”

Rouge glanced at the house: "Besides, anything that goes against the way of heaven will have to pay a certain price, and the same is true for the Zuo family." If Master Chang is not afraid, you can go and look at General Zuo's back, and you will know that driving the dead to fight is definitely not a good thing for the Zuo family. ”

Chang Tai hesitated, but still turned back into the house and asked the old man to turn Zuo Tianyou's body on his side slightly. With just one look, he almost closed his eyes in shock. Because Zuo Tianyou's back, in addition to those criss-crossing whip marks, there have also been other changes. His skin gradually became transparent, and under the transparent skin, there were black holes of all sizes, deep and visible bones, and shallow flesh could be exposed.

"Those big holes indicate the big battles that General Zuo has experienced, and as for the small ones, they are the small battles that he has fought over the years. Driving the dead corpse to his own use, the caster will also suffer a certain amount of backlash, and he will be in pain all day long, as if he is living in the eighteen layers of hell. In fact, even if those people don't do it, the general won't live long. ”

Rouge stepped forward and gently wiped Zuo Tianyou's back with his hand, and those black holes were hidden again: "These holes are from the inside out, for fear that others will see and panic, so the Zuo family will also use spells to cover up." Of course, this spell is limited to the time when the person is alive, and nothing can be covered when he is dead. The reason why the adults didn't find out all the way was because of that soul suppression talisman. ”

"So, you are also a member of the Zuo family, and you can also know those spells of the Zuo family?" Chang Tai asked a question in hindsight, but saw Rouge smile slightly and shook his head: "To be honest, Rouge doesn't know if he is a member of the Zuo family." ”

Chang Tai looked at Rouge, not knowing how to respond. Thinking of the secret letter given to him by the squire of the military department, his heart was even more chaotic. He is a fast catcher, whether he is captured or killed, they are all wicked people who should be caught and killed, but the girl in front of him is just a corpse chaser, who has been with her for several months, and has never seen her do anything bad, but as a subordinate, he can't ignore the orders of the military department.

The hand holding the sword, sweating, tangled heart, became more and more tangled in the moonlight. Finally, he made up his mind, held the sword, and walked out of the gate of the General's Mansion.

"Your Excellency just goes back like this, how can you explain to the owner of the secret letter?

"You know the secret letter!"

"Rouge not only knows that the adult has a secret letter in his hand, but also knows that the owner of the secret letter not only asks the adult to take away the things on General Zuo's body, but also wants the adult to pick the grass and eradicate the roots to avoid future troubles."

"Me"

"Adults don't have to be embarrassed, Rouge knows that adults are honest and good people, otherwise they wouldn't be so entangled just now."

"Rest assured, girl, I Chang Taiding will not be difficult for you. It's just that the capital is dangerous, and after the aftermath of General Zuo is dealt with, the girl and this old man should leave as soon as possible. If it is really like what you said, the Ministry of War and the imperial court covet the things of the Zuo family, and they will definitely not let go of you and this old man easily. ”

"Thank you for reminding me, it's just that there are a lot of eyeliners in the capital, and the adults just went back, and it's not easy to explain. Rouge, I don't want you to be embarrassed. Rouge said, and turned his hands into palms and pounced towards Chang Tai. Chang Tai was defenseless, he was slapped hard by Rouge, and staggered back several steps.

Here, Chang Tai had just barely stood firm, and over there Rouge had already attacked again, and the goal was to snatch the long sword from his hand. Chang Tai dodged twice, but found that Rouge seemed to be thin, but his body was extremely flexible, like a snake, tightly entangled around him. With the slightest negligence, the scabbard was removed. He was forced to fight back. Seeing a dark cyan shadow flickering in front of her, when she calmed down again, she realized that she was wearing rouge, and the long sword pierced Rouge's shoulder blade at some point, and blood oozed from her clothes one by one.

"Girl, what's the matter?"

"The last person in the Zuo family is gone, and the rouge is still there, what's the point? Besides, Rouge's wish has been fulfilled, and he can help the adult once before he dies, which can be regarded as worthy of the adult's care for several months. ”

"You" Chang Tai was a little inexplicably flustered in his heart, and the hand holding the sword didn't know whether to go backwards or forward. In a moment of hesitation, Rouge had already taken a step forward, the blade of the sword digging deep into the shoulder blade, and the blood flowed profusely.

Chang Tai was taken aback, and hurriedly sent the hand holding the sword, "You wait, I'll go find the doctor!" ”

"Lord Chang!" Rouge shouted, covered his chest with his right hand, and pulled out the sword little by little with his left hand: "No need! The things that you have explained to you in the secret letter have been completed. The General's Mansion is not a place for adults to stay for a long time, please put away your sword, and the rouge will not be sent! ”

After Rouge finished speaking, Chang Tai's sword returned to his own hand, followed by a gust of wind, and when he looked again, Chang Tai had been swept outside the General's Mansion, and the lacquered door of the General's Mansion was quickly closed.

Chang Tai was uneasy and wanted to go over and knock on the door, but he heard a familiar cry from behind him, and the voice was vaguely Xingruyi.

He turned around suspiciously, and sure enough, he saw Xing Ruyi dressed in civilian clothes and wearing a cloak on his body, standing low in the night, looking at him with bright eyes.

"Brother Chang!"

"Ruyi?" Chang Tai walked over quickly, "Why are you here?" ”

"Come and see Brother Chang, and send a friend by the way." Xing Ruyi said, walked to the door of the general's mansion, and gently pushed it with his hand, and the door opened.

Chang Tai followed closely, and the person was stunned for a moment. The courtyard that had just been clean was now full of devastation, the flowers and weeds in the yard were entangled, and on the eaves in front of the house, several huge spiders were busy in the moonlight.

The only thing that hasn't changed is the mourning hall, where Zuo Tianyou lies quietly, as if he is just asleep.

"Brother Chang, shhhhhhh

Xing Ruyi made a gesture for Chang Tai not to speak, and then took her and quietly stood on the side of the mourning hall.

The silver-white moonlight shone into the courtyard and fell on Zuo Tianyou's body, and his originally closed eyes slowly opened. Then he got up, looked at the side door opposite, and smiled quietly.

The side door also opened, and a rouge dressed as a bride slowly came out, and in her hand, she also held a red hijab embroidered with a mandarin duck playing in the water. At this time, there was no Xing Ruyi in her eyes, and there was no Chang Tai, only Zuo Tianyou, who was sitting on the spiritual bed, looking at her and smiling.

Rouge finally walked to Zuo Tianyou, she shyly handed the red hijab in her hand to the other party, Zuo Tianyou looked at it, and picked up the red hijab with a slightly stiff movement.

"Wait, I'm going to help you touch up your makeup too!" Rouge said, temporarily stopping Zuo Tianyou's action of wanting to help her put on a red hijab, but from the cuffs, he took out the box of rouge Mei that he bought from the Ruyi Rouge shop a few months ago, dipped it lightly with his hand, and slowly and evenly applied it to Zuo Tianyou's blue and white face: "Tianyou, do you know? The name of this box of rouge is Rouge Mei, and you see, my name is included in it. Is this also a kind of fate? ”

Zuo Tianyou nodded stiffly, and a soft light seemed to rise in his eyes.

"I still remember that winter a year ago, the imperial court sent you to quell the rebellion, but only gave you less than fifty old and weak soldiers. You can't bear it, but you can't refuse, because disobeying military orders is only a dead end, you know, the Holy Queen will not let you go. So, I could only grit my teeth and take those people on the road. You charge all the way, just hoping to do your best to keep them, for you always say, the dead may be stronger in combat, but only alive can they go home and be reunited with their families. You are the hell general Zuo Tianyou, but in your heart, what you hate the most is this hell-like battlefield.

But the news that the imperial court gave you was fake, the map was fake, and even the route was fake, but they gave the enemy the most authentic information. You and your team, unsurprisingly, fall under their surrounds.

It's cold, the cold people's teeth are chattering, the sky suddenly snows, the snowflakes flying all over the sky are also stained red by the constant splashing of blood, you watch them fall one by one, you know, you have no choice. Even if you barely break through, you are the only one alive, and you will face harsh criticism from the court when you go back.

You brought back eight people, but they still charged you with collaborating with the enemy and treason, and even the eight people you desperately protected were all executed by them on the charge of treason. I know that at that time, you already had the heart of death, because I knew that if you didn't die, the court would let more people bury you. You have found the remains of the old general, and you have also deciphered the secrets of the past, but so what, you, like your grandfather, are irresistible and powerless.

You always say that if there is a next life, you would rather not be a member of the Zuo family, and would rather take me with you, alone in the world, and the four seas as your home. But God bless, we all have no next life, so what we can do, we have to do it in this life. I know you don't like these things, and I don't like them, but your face is so pale and so uninspired, I don't like to look at it. ”

Rouge said, his fingers gently wiped over Zuo Tianyou's face, the blue-white dead air faded little by little, and Zuo Tianyou in front of him seemed to come to life. He is not handsome, but the toughness between his eyebrows and eyes is tempered from the battlefield.
