Huo Cheng was reluctant to speak, unwilling to admit this fact, he just put his hands behind his back, and then faced the distant green mountains.

Qu still glanced at Ji Sheng a little strangely, and said, "I'm going to pick it up and take a look?" ”

Ji Sheng nodded.

Qu Yi stepped forward and squatted down, picked up the piece of paper with bad news, opened it, and was shocked after just one glance, she opened her mouth slightly almost unaware, and her eyes immediately turned a little red, Ji Sheng didn't expect Qu Yi to be like this, so he walked over, held Qu Yi, and took the note in her hand.

To his surprise, the news of death on the paper.

His brows furrowed deeply, and his expression was extremely serious, and it took a long time before he spoke, "He..."

But he found that all the words were choked in his throat, and he only made one sound, and he could no longer speak. It turns out that death is so cruel and so close at hand.

Eventually, when Ji Sheng's mood calmed down a bit, he said, "He... Is it buried? ”

"Not yet." Huo Cheng shook his head slowly.

"Shall we go and see him off?" Ji Sheng said, "I also have to tell Tang Xi that Tang Xi and Qin Sang have been friends since childhood...... At this point, Ji Sheng was a little uncomfortable.

Huo Cheng shook his head: "If... A few of us have gone, so is this battle still fought? He reluctantly said this, in fact, why didn't he want to go back to Jianshun to give Qin Sang a grand funeral, but now the situation is special, he is the commander of an army, how can he do this?

Qu still held back his tears and asked, "Could it be that in your eyes, human life is so shallow..."

Huo Cheng asked rhetorically: "Do you think that I don't have heartache?" Qi Wanshan and I almost grew up watching Qin Sang, I thought I could exchange it for his success, but now in exchange for his death, am I not sad? However, he was not the only one who died on this battlefield? Is it not the life of those other soldiers who died in battle? If we give them all a beautiful funeral, and several of us go to see them off, I am afraid that this battle will end in failure on the first day... It's only been a few days, how many people have died, and if they are lucky, they can still be transported back to the corpses and buried indiscriminately in this blood-stained land, and if they are unlucky, there are no bones, and who will give them an explanation? ”

How could Qu still not understand this truth, but she was a girl, an emotional woman, she could only lower her head and hide the tears she shed silently.

Ji Sheng understood what Huo Cheng said, and also understood Qu Yi's thoughts, he touched Qu Yi's hair, took her into his arms, raised his head and said to Huo Cheng: "Then, you have to inform Tang Xi of them, right?" ”

"Tang Xi has a strong temperament, he attaches too much importance to love and righteousness, and the relationship between him and Qin Sang is not overnight, if he knows, he will definitely come..."Huo Cheng shook his head.

"Isn't he qualified to know about his best friend's death?" Ji Sheng asked.

“... You have to understand. Huo Cheng said.

"Is the so-called understanding so cruel?" Ji Sheng was also a little unbearable, and asked rhetorically.

"It's an order!" Huo Cheng accentuated his tone, with an irresistible majesty, "You must obey!" ”

Ji Sheng gritted his teeth, helped Qu Yi up, and said word by word: "I am not from your Wanjun Mansion, why should I listen to your orders from Wanjun Mansion?" Come when I want to, go when I want! ”

"You!" Huo Cheng pointed at Ji Sheng angrily and said, "You are Hu Lai!" ”

Ji Sheng still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Qu Zhen, Qu Zhen calmed down a little at the moment, and said: "Ji Sheng, let's go back first, he also has his difficulties." ”

Ji Sheng looked at Qu Yi in disbelief, and Qu Yi shook his head gently. What a tacit understanding they were, a look at them made them understand the meaning of Qu Yi. He pretended to be indignant and left.

Qu still pulled Ji Sheng to the side and said, "I know you think the same as I think, but what Huo Cheng said also has his considerations, and he is right." But Qin Sang's death, it is impossible for us not to tell Tang Xi, how about we first pretend to hide from Huo Cheng, and then secretly send a message to Tang Xi? ”

"That's all there is to it now. It's just Qin Sang..."Qu still sighed, "Qin Sang and we were born and died, before it was Shen Yanyi, and now it is Qin Sang......"

"We're going to be fine." Ji Sheng hugged and comforted her.

......

Tang Xi didn't know if he was sleepy, and when he woke up, he felt as if a century had passed, and the sky was a little blue, as if it was about to rain.

"Niantong..."Tang Xi shouted in a daze.

It seems that something is wrong.

Tang Xi immediately sobered up and hurriedly turned his head, but he didn't see Nian Tong's figure. He was a little flustered, but he was still reassuring himself that she might have gotten up early to wash up or go to sword practice. So he calmed himself down, got up first, and looked around.

Tang Xi walked to the river, but he didn't see Niantong's figure, and there was a faint voice in his heart telling him, but he didn't want to think about it. Suddenly, he saw some soldiers scooping water there, and he walked over, but his steps grew faster and faster, and at last he almost ran in front of them.

"Have you seen Niantong?" Tang Xi asked.

"Miss Niantong? No, Miss Niantong is practicing swords, right? She's always got up early. The man said.

Tang Xi frowned, and before he could answer him, he turned his head and ran towards the bamboo forest.

"Niantong!" Tang Xi shouted as he walked in the bamboo forest. He was getting more and more anxious, he was afraid that what he was thinking was really true, and she would really go to Xu Yungui.

"Niantong—" his voice gradually fell silent.

Why do you want to do these things without me, am I not giving you the security you want, or am I just an ordinary friend by my side, not to the point of sharing everything with you.

Step by step, he stepped on the ground covered with bamboo leaves, his head bowed, not knowing what to do.

The raindrops fell and fell on Tang Xi's forehead, Tang Xi felt a little confused, raised his face, let the rain fall on his face, and tried to sober himself up.

For two days, Lu Zuoke gave them two days, and Nian Tong must have used this opportunity to assassinate Xu Yungui. Who is he Tang Xi, he knows Niantong best, what she is thinking, he is almost clear. A few nights ago, he watched her fall asleep frowning every day, and knew that she must have something in mind, but he hadn't confirmed it at that time. He was afraid that when he woke up one morning, Nian Tong would be gone. It's just that he didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

wants to exchange Xu Yungui's life for the peace of this battle.

But Xu Yungui is her brother after all, Tang Xi knows her, although she doesn't say it, she still has different feelings for this man who is related to her by blood. Let her kill her brother with her own hands, she must be very sad in her heart, right?

And what about him?

Tang Xi only felt a splitting headache, he could know Nian Tong's thoughts, but he didn't know what to do. He was worried about Niantong, he was so worried, he couldn't wait to fly to her to protect her now. Does she know what her fate is? It's so daring... Although he kept saying that all this would not happen, he would not, but he was so afraid in his heart, he was afraid of losing Niantong.

However, if he leaves everything and rushes to her side, the army on the left will be unled, and the consequences will be unpredictable, which is by no means what Nian Tong wants to see, since she leaves alone, she must want to reduce casualties.

......

Tang Xi had never had so many concerns, if it was in the past, he would definitely run to protect her without saying anything, but Niantong has what he wants to protect, and what he can do is now to protect what she wants to protect.

He clenched his fists, and the rain slid down his cheeks, stinging his red eyes.

......

Tang Xi faced this group of soldiers who were a little flustered because Nian Tong was gone, and the complexity in his heart did not decrease by half. His body now bears all the worries of Niantong, he must do what he has to do, so that she has no worries.

But as soon as he convinced himself that he was adjusting his army, he saw a familiar figure hurrying from afar.

Tang Xi frowned, this figure, if he didn't guess wrong, should be Ji Sheng. But that face is distinct, and it's not Jisheng's... If that person is really Jisheng, then something big must have happened, otherwise he wouldn't have run like this regardless of the overall situation, after all, in the middle lane, there are more difficult battles and his beloved Qu Yi, and he won't leave at will.

Tang Xi stretched out his hand and waved his hand at the hundreds of people in front of him, signaling them to rest first, and then walked straight towards the figure that kept walking.

"Jisheng?" The more he walked in, the more certain he was that person was Ji Sheng, except for the different faces, the other ways he walked, including his height and body type, were exactly the same, and most importantly, Ji Sheng had a unique temperament that others did not have, which would not be found if he had not lived in seclusion for many years.

"It's me." Ji Sheng pointed to his face and did not speak, implying that he had changed his face, so his face changed.

Tang Xi pulled him over, frowned, and said, "Why are you here, it's... Did something happen? The song is still there? But after thinking about it, if something happened to Qu Zhen, he would definitely not be so relatively calm, not to mention that he didn't need to come to him.

"Tang Xi, where is Nian Tong?" Ji Sheng looked at it, "If she's here, let's talk about it together." I can't bear to say this twice..."

Tang Xi's eyes darkened, and he said, "Nian Tong is not here." ”

"Absent?" Ji Sheng was a little strange, but seeing Tang Xi's expression was very lonely, he had a bad premonition in his heart, "Could it be..."

"No, she went to do what she wanted to do." Tang Xi lowered his head and said expressionlessly.
