Chapter 14: No Enmity
"Ahh
Adjutant Cui's forehead was suddenly covered with cold sweat, and with a painful cry, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Cui Yu!!"
General Yang let out a low roar and watched Adjutant Cui pass out backwards, he quickly stretched out his arm and grabbed him.
Looking down, Cui Yu's pretty face, the heroic brows are frowned together, and in her left sleeve, the originally slender arm is bulging high at the moment, and on her palm, the blood vessels are protruding as if they are about to explode, like a small cyan snake, winding and twisting.
Just by looking at it, General Yang knew that Cui Yu's left hand could not be saved, and her proud marksmanship was useless.
"Adjutant Xia! You're going too far!! ”
General Yang's tiger eyes were cracking, his hand suddenly swiped to his waist, his fingers tapped on the holster, and he cleverly tapped the button, and with a flick of his finger, the cold pistol jumped into his hand.
Although he only relied on one hand, his speed was several times faster than that of ordinary people, and the speed between his fingers was not an exaggeration to describe it as fast as lightning.
But Xia Jie, faster than him!
"Huh!"
Suddenly, a sharp blade burst through the air.
General Yang's hair stood on end in an instant, and his hand was suddenly fixed on his waist, because a cold and piercing black long knife was quietly resting on his shoulder.
"Adjutant Choi pointed a gun at me regardless of his comrades' feelings, and I broke one of her arms as a lesson." Xia Jie held the black knife, and shook the handle of the knife in his hand with an indifferent expression: "General, I advise you to be wise!" ”
"You?!" General Yang's face was pale, looking at the black blade close at hand on his shoulder, he believed that if he insisted on raising his gun, then the other party would definitely not be soft, and he didn't have the heart to think about where Xia Jie's knife came from at this moment.
Moreover, at this moment, he finally knew the origin of the contradiction when he first met Xia Jie!
If everyone has the same goal, Xia Jie will be a good subordinate and partner, whether it is awakening the Dragon Emperor or capturing Lin before, he has done something that makes people unable to find fault.
But if he is angered or goes against his will, then he will be like a wolf, and he will be ferocious.
General Yang lowered his hand, he knew that in this case, he was far from being Xia Jie's opponent, whether it was Cui Yu who was unconscious in his arms, or the nerves that he couldn't keep up with, they were all dragged down one by one.
He lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms, even if she fainted, but her face was still frowning, you can imagine how painful she was.
And General Yang's eyes when he looked at Cui Yu were also filled with tears, and he said gloomily: "Do you know that this lesson you call ...... What was destroyed was her whole life!! ”
As a soldier and a female officer, Cui Yu is weaker than a man in terms of physical fitness. But under such a relatively disadvantaged condition, she has worked hard to develop a skill that surpasses ordinary people, which is what she is most proud of.
But now, Xia Jie's slap has made her more than ten years of bitter blood and tears dissipate in one fell swoop, and General Yang can't imagine what Cui Yu will look like when she wakes up.
When Xia Jie heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said disapprerovingly: "It's not that serious, when you find the Spring of Eternal Life, let her take a sip, no matter how serious the injury is, it will recover." ”
"Huh? What did you say? General Yang was taken aback, and then shook his head violently: "No! Fountain of Eternal Life...... That belongs to the state! ”
General Yang never thought of getting involved in the Fountain of Eternal Life in the past, he regarded the First Emperor as the hope for the future of China, and whether it was the Fountain of Eternal Life or the Eye of Shangri-La, they were both national things, and they did not belong to any one person or him.
Because he grew up in this country, the food, clothing, and even the authority in his hands were all given to him by the state, how could he have two hearts?
When Xia Jie heard this, he sneered and said again.
"It's timid, and that's why I say your plan is full of holes! You know, the Fountain of Eternal Life doesn't disappear just because we use one or two people. You and I are both working for Huaguo, what do you think will happen to the entire Huaguo battlefield if we gain immortality?! ”
"Huh? We...... What will happen to Immortal?! ”
General Yang frowned, not quite understanding what Xia Jie meant.
Xia Jie looked at General Yang's face, which had eased a lot, took a deep breath, and explained with great difficulty: "Immortality means that you have endless time to study every war, you will accumulate countless experiences, and use your long life to conquer all the enemies of Huaguo!" ”
Airplanes!
General Yang only felt that his mind was confused, and the words of summer seemed to open the door to a new world in front of his eyes.
After thinking about it, he thought about something again, and suddenly asked. "Did you ...... before? That's already going to happen?! ”
"In the face of immortality, who can not have ideas."
Xia Jie was noncommittal, but he immediately withdrew the black knife, deliberately alleviating the atmosphere of this rivalry, and explained: "Trust me, whether you want to live forever or not, I will not be your enemy." ”
General Yang suddenly laughed, looked at the woman in his arms and said, "Won't it be an enemy?!" But how do you make me trust you! ”
"With it!"
Xia Jie glanced down at the chariot and picked up the blue crystal lotus that had fallen before, and at this moment it returned to the angular crystal style, as if the scene of the crystal flower blooming just now was just a dream.
"Shangri-La Eye?!"
General Yang snorted, if Xia Jie hadn't picked it up again, he would have almost forgotten about this treasure!
Legend has it that the Eye of Shangri-La is a key that can guide destined people to a mysterious place. There are innumerable treasures of gold and silver, and there are endless riches and riches. As long as there is something in the world, it can satisfy you, including eternal life.
Of course, these legends are just the fantasies of some ordinary people, and General Yang didn't believe it before, but when he came into contact with the confidential documents of the First Emperor and Changshengquan, he believed it!
"It can guide us to find the spring of eternal life in the vast Himalayan snow-capped mountains." Xia Jie pinched the gem with two fingers and handed it to General Yang: "Now, it's yours!" ”
This move made General Yang stunned suddenly, and he frowned: "What do you mean?" ”
"That's what I promise you, General." Xia Jie handed his hand forward again and continued: "Immortal Spring, whether you want it to be used by Huaguo or not is all in your thoughts. ”
"It can easily recover Adjutant Choi's injuries. It will give you endless time to defend our homeland. It can also allow the First Emperor to lead tens of millions of immortal Qin Warriors to counterattack the world! And now, you just have to choose to trust me, and it's all at your fingertips. ”
Xia Jie is like a demon who is tempting to evil, using Adjutant Cui's injury and a promising vision for the future to guide General Yang's thinking to change.
If he just wanted to complete the task, he could actually directly put General Yang aside and just hug Qin Shi Huang's thigh. However, this is not perfect, not the kind of perfection that the system requires, but the perfection that he decides for himself.
He learned from the united front room of General Yang and others that today's Huaguo is already in danger, and the slightest carelessness will fall into the abyss. Since they all put their hopes on Qin Shi Huang, who has been in the ancient world for thousands of years, it is conceivable that today's Huaguo has reached the point of exhaustion.
As for the Spring of Eternal Life, Xia Jie does not want to enjoy it exclusively, he hopes that General Yang can gain eternal life and use his blood to defend the territory of Huaguo.
Huaguo needs General Yang and a loyal and courageous person like him, compared to this, a slight misunderstanding is nothing.
That's why Xia Jie tried so hard to bring General Yang into Changsheng's camp, but Adjutant Cui was a good chess piece that he didn't expect, which happened to be used by him as an important weight to overwhelm General Yang.
"This ......"
Seeing Xia Jie's serious face, he handed the Eye of Shangri-La forward again and again, and General Yang didn't know what to answer.
His admiration for Xia Jie went from initial appreciation, to suspicion, to anger, and even to ease. After this series of complicated changes, he now doesn't know what attitude to use to face his titular adjutant.
"General!"
Xia Jie looked at General Yang's hesitant expression and knew that his heart had begun to waver, so he took another step forward and persuaded: "The dispute between you and me is just because I asked the First Emperor for a reward. In all fairness, if you make meritorious service to a soldier and the monarch rewards you, is there anything wrong with that? ? Even if the reward I ask for is precious, as long as my merit is worth the price, it is what I deserve! So, there's no need for you and me to fight to the death over this matter, right? ”
General Yang's emotions at this moment had already calmed down, and he carefully recalled Xia Jie's words, and after a while, he lowered his head and sighed: "I understand." ”
He was also anxious because he was in a hurry by Xia Jie's series of self-assertions, and he couldn't control his temper, so he grabbed the other party to ask for compensation.
But now that I think about it, the other party wants to take the head of the witch who sealed the first emperor, and he wants to obtain the head of a general of the Qin State who has long been turned into dust, how simple are these two conditions?
How many things you do, how many rewards you get. Xia Jie's words made General Yang unable to refute.
Xia Jie finally laughed loudly, changed his previous solemnity, and stuffed the Eye of Shangri-La into General Yang's hand: "General, take it, and when you find the Immortal Spring, you can recover Adjutant Cui's injuries." When the time comes, our country will launch a counteroffensive, and she will also be a great help to you. ”
“……”
General Yang once again felt that piercing sense of contradiction from Xia Jie's body, he looked up at Xia Jie's smiling face, and was speechless.
"Boom......" A woman's moan strangely inserted into the silence.
General Yang instantly looked down at his arms, thinking that Adjutant Cui had woken up, but he was surprised to find that Cui Yu's face was still tightly closed.
"Huh??"
Xia Jie suddenly looked back and looked at the ground next to the chariot, this voice, is Lin?
Sure enough, after his gaze looked over, the charred woman's body ...... Actually, I moved again!
"Click......"
The scorched skin on the surface of Lin's body cracked inch by inch, revealing the skin inside like clotted white jade, and on that dark face, a pair of translucent black and white eyes opened suddenly.
