Chapter 22: The Realm of Death

What's written in this?

Wouldn't it be okay to take a look? Tang Shu thought, what military secrets will there be in the family letter? Even if you have one, you won't say it, right? When she thought about it, Tang Shu had already opened the letter.

"Huh? It's a pretty good word. The letter was folded, Tang Shu only looked at the upper part of the folded front, and sure enough, it was full of words to keep him safe. Unexpectedly, although Gu Jianmo is a prince, he has no quarrel with the palace servants and maids who raised him, if this kind of person becomes the emperor, there should be no tyranny, right? But it's really annoying, he actually lied to himself for so long...... Hey, no, it seems that he did tell himself that his name was Gu Jianmo...... It's just that he doesn't know that the surname Gu is a royal form.

He didn't lie to himself.

But why did he deceive so many people, but not himself?

Tang Shu didn't want to think deeply, how could this be possible? He wanted to kill himself.

When I looked down again, the word Tang Shu came into view. Even mentioned yourself? Who is not sensitive to the presence of their name in someone else's letter? Tang Shu opened the second half of the letter.

"Tang Shu must keep the general's accident secret. You can't reveal the slightest bit of news to her...... "The letter is broken here, and the two words take care seem to be engraved, cutting off all Tang Shu's doubts. The word dragon and phoenix dance, there is the potential of the pen to walk the dragon. Tang Shu had no intention of appreciating it.

The general's words should refer to Shi Xu. But why keep it a secret from yourself? Could it be that something happened to the general? Panic welled up in her heart, and her hands trembled a little.

No wonder Gu Jian Mo left in such a hurry that day.

The shopkeeper seemed to be hiding something from herself.

Tang Shu was a little confused for a while. What the hell happened to the general? The shopkeeper will not tell me if they hide it from me, what should I do......

"By the way, look for Xu Shuda! He must know! Tang Shu, who had a flash of inspiration in his mind, pulled out his legs and went out to chase him. But there was no one in the attic or in the courtyard.

"Have you seen Xu Shuda?" He asked the shopkeeper who was sitting drinking tea.

"Who? The drunkard? His shrill voice reminded Tang Shu that he was actually a eunuch, and he couldn't help but dare not look at him directly, afraid that his eyes might make him feel blasphemous.

She bowed her head and said, "It's him!" ”

"I just left, said hello to us and left."

"Where?" Tang Shu asked eagerly.

"I don't know, I didn't pay attention." The shopkeeper's voice was slightly apologetic.

Tang Shu ran to the door, her misty blue skirt swaying, like ocean waves. A woman running down the street is always eye-catching. The people around looked at her loose hairpin, her long hair scattered, and her slightly depressed appearance.

"Which girl is this? How crazy is it? "Someone said.

Tang Shu couldn't hear or see anything. She just shouted loudly, "Xu Shuda! I have something to ask you, Xu Shuda, where are you...... Where are you? She slapped the sides of her skirt eagerly and angrily, and with each punch, it was a darker, darker projection.

In the midst of the crowd. Outside the attic. On the purple moss wall, the man was dressed in a black cloud-edged casual dress, his black hair was too lazy to tie up, the wine jug hanging between his fingers was rubbed by his fingers, and the gaze in his cute cat-like eyes could not be more indifferent. The index finger of his other hand was bent, and a snow-white red-billed pigeon rested on the fingertip.

The pigeon's same leg has a text message tied with red thread around the wrist.

He stretched out a finger and touched the pigeon more gently, his eyes were very dissatisfied, but he sighed, "How can you like anyone other than him?" ”

The voice dissipated with the smell of wine.

Tang Shu looked up at the blue sky, and a snow-white pigeon was flapping its wings and flying by.

"Tang Shu?" A voice came from behind, a little probing and uncertain, but it made Tang Shu shake.

She turned around almost sluggishly, like an old machine, the clockwork was worn out, and her voice was a little difficult, "Deputy Wu...... You ......"

How to be here.

When he first came here, he was the one who took care of himself, like an older brother. Even if he is thin and his legs are useless because of the war, he can rush out to protect himself at the first time. Tang Shu had a sour nose, her chest was stuffy, and tears fell.

Deputy Wu walked over step by step, he was wearing a gray linen coat, dressed like a laborer, his face was dirty, and a slight smile made his eyes shine, "I found you." ”

"Hey, don't cry, you weren't so pretentious when you were wearing a military uniform before."

"Did you see the letter I left you?" Tang Shu looked at him with tears in her eyes. As soon as she said goodbye to him that day, Tang Shu always felt very guilty, and she thought she would never see him again.

"What letter?" Deputy Wu was a little surprised, he returned to the tent but she couldn't find anywhere, he thought something had happened to her. Of course, he didn't see the letter, and the ugly letter left the tent with his people after being ridiculed by Gu Jianmo.

"I left you a letter when I left, when the military doctor found my daughter, I just wanted to leave there, I didn't dare to tell you face to face, and I was also worried that the general would know that I would be killed because I disguised myself as a woman and entered the barracks without permission."

Deputy Wu's eyes suddenly became a little sad, and his appearance made Tang Shu more and more uneasy. He sighed, "I only learned that you were a woman not long ago, but ......," he looked sad, "the general himself told me." ”

"General, how would he know?" Tang Shu was a little incredible. She always thought that she was just a gang leader in Shi Xu's eyes, she was a little surprised, but more than happy.

Deputy Wu replied, "The general seems to have known about it a long time ago—"

Tang Shu interrupted him, "A long time ago? ”

"I think it should have been when you were still in the barracks, because when the general told me about it, I had already asked me that it wasn't the military doctor who said it, and how could he like you when you were a man." He thought for a moment and said seriously.

These words made Tang Shu's brain turn for a while, "Like me? Who? ”

Only then did Deputy Wu turn his head and say word by word, "General Shi likes you." He sighed and continued, "That's what I'm here to tell you about. ”

A trace of joy in Tang Shu's heart disappeared in an instant, and the thing she had a premonition was now clear and spread out in front of her.

"The general is dead, I don't know if it's true or not, but it looks like it's like this. Because no one will survive there. His shoulders trembled slightly as he said this.

Although Tang Shu had already guessed some clues, it was not so terrible, for the first time in her life, she felt the feeling of wanting to cry but couldn't cry, she looked at Deputy Wu blankly, and seemed to look at the wall behind him, moss, damp and dark.

All she could hear was the sound in her ears, which became bipolar in the still-stuffy air of the night, amplified by the subtle vibrations of her eardrums.

It was Deputy Wu's voice that said, "Si Yue Country is ruled by the Liang family, and Liang Yuyan, the second prince of Liang State, is the famous god of war in Si Yue Country, invincible and invincible. But that's only for the surrounding small countries, more than half a year ago, Si Yueguo began to invade our Taiguan country. But he was stuck in the frontier by our general, there was General Shi in front of him, and he couldn't advance, and he couldn't retreat with military orders and honors. Half a year ago, there was a soldier named Gu Jian in the barracks, and his martial arts were all above ordinary people, and he helped the general defeat the enemy army one after another. ”

When Tang Shu heard this, the scarlet in his eyes became deeper, "Liang Yuyan, do you have a pair of eagle eyes and golden armor?" ”

Vice Wu was surprised, "How do you know?" ”

She exhaled softly, "You continue." ”

"Taiguan Kingdom, Siyue Kingdom, and Puhe Country, the three kingdoms converge in a Gelug Desert. The desert is the largest in the world, but it is generally safe, except for a part of the southeast, known as the Deadland. ”

Tang Shu remembered the black magnet-like stele in his dream, and the vast desert, which turned out to be the Gelug Desert. There is also Si Yueguo's iron hooves, and the man in silver armor.

"There are old black stone monuments around it, some say it's to prevent people from straying there, some say it's even more magical. The Dead Realm is a quicksand area, but its quicksand is inextricable, because everyone who walks into the Dead Realm will turn into sand sculptures, blend into the quicksand area, and become an inseparable part of it."

"That day, he was originally going to introduce the enemy army into the desert, but the general lured the enemy with his body, but Liang Yuyan countered the army, fell into the Gelug Desert alone, and was forced to die. That's what I heard, but that day, everyone in our army who saw the truth died. ”

Tang Shu was a little incredulous, "Then how can you say that he is dead?" ”

Vice President Wu said firmly, undeniably, "No one can live." ”

Tang Shu looked at him in disbelief, and slowly disbelief in her eyes.

Deputy Wu said, "There's still something about you." ”

"The general came to me the night before, and for the first time I smelled alcohol on him. He told me to go into the tent, but there was no light in it, and I thought I had gone in the wrong way. He said he didn't know why he was upset, so he called me to talk. In fact, it has always been the general who is talking about you, and it is all about you. ”

Tang Shu's eyelids jumped, motionless, and a drop of glow fell on her cheek.

"He told me you were a woman, and he said he found himself liking you. I thought he was joking, drunk and confused. But he really, his eyes were too serious. And I believed. He always knew you were alive. The medic confessed to him. He said that he had a sense of foreboding, you know, life and death on the battlefield are always inevitable, but he is not afraid of death, he said that he only thought that he would not see you in the future, so he called me, saying that if something happened to him, he would call me to come to you to show his heart for you. I thought it was just a joke, but I didn't expect it...... People's hunches are sometimes quite accurate. ”

He smiled wryly, "That's it, although I don't want to believe it, but there is no other possibility." ”

"I don't believe it!" Tang Shu's eyes flashed.

"I'm going to the Gru Desert and see for myself!" She said firmly.
