Chapter 11: Rebirth
The night gradually faded, and the sky was faintly glowing with a touch of fish white, outlining a pleasing picture to the eye. At this time, the fog has not yet dissipated, the world is hazy, the exquisite courtyard is like a sleeping girl in a light sara tent, and a powerful and mysterious warrior lurks around. You can't see them, but when you let your guard down when you think you're unguarded, they will strike you a fatal blow from behind.
Finally, the morning sun shyly peeked out in the morning glow, and at a glance it looked like a boiling iron furnace. Ten thousand golden rays of light broke through the clouds and sprinkled the earth, covering the eaves and trees in the courtyard with a layer of carmine, like a girl dressing up her makeup.
On the branch, a cicada chrysalis is slowly cracking, its head first breaking out of the cocoon, and then grabbing the branch with its forefoot and dragging its body upward. After a long time, the colorful wings finally dried and hardened, and with a flutter they left the branches and danced. It first showed its beautiful posture around the jujube tree, and at the same time thanked and said goodbye, and then flew towards the colorful glow.
............
Yunfeng's first feeling was pain. Cone-piercing colic. It was as if two armies had just fought fiercely within him, swords slashing bones, horses' hooves trampling their internal organs, and thousands of arrows weaving like knitted sweaters, leaving behind a ruined wall.
But Yunfeng felt good again. Pain is a good thing because it lets people know if they're alive or not. When you feel the pain clearly, you are conscious. Yunfeng opened his eyes, and his thick eyelashes blinked......
It seems that he has been in the dark for a long time, and he has been away from the light for many years, and the not so bright light actually makes Yun Feng feel a little dazzling. He couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and adjusted the focus of his pupils slightly, and the objects that were still blurry before gradually became clear, and two familiar faces fell into his eyes.
"It's good to be alive. ”
This is the second feeling of Yunfeng. Seeing the warm faces of my loved ones again diluted the pain in my body a lot. However, some will never be seen again. The man who talked and laughed and scrupulously abided by his duties, spent no less time with him than his parents, and the man who once said that he would not die easily died like this.
Maybe he will still live in the memories of many people, such as his father, such as his comrades-in-arms who were born and died with him, Yunfeng believes that they will definitely go all out to find the murderer and avenge him. But after all, he died for him, so revenge was naturally up to him. It can only be done by him.
"Wind. Su Rou saw that Aiko finally woke up, and her heart that was hanging on her line finally let go, and she held Yunfeng's hand tightly, tears burst out of her eyes like a torrent, and once again wet her makeup that she hadn't changed in days.
Yun Feng looked at his mother's haggard face, and the tears overflowing from her eyes full of love flowed through her heart like a warm current. Although his injuries were severe and his hearing had deteriorated, he had not completely lost it. He said with some guilt: "I worried you and your father." ”
"Silly boy, it's okay. Su Rou looked distressed.
"I don't die so easily. Yunfeng smiled brightly. At least it seems. This was originally what Uncle Jing often said during his lifetime, but now it seems that he can only carry it forward.
Sometimes Yun Feng thinks to himself, people are going to die sooner or later, maybe in a sense, the offspring is the continuation of their own lives, but after all, they are two different individuals, they have their own lives, even if they become great characters in the future, but the focus of people's attention will only be on them, and they should not be pinned on proving that they have existed in this world through them.
So if you want the world to know about you, you have to do something in this life, or leave something of value for this world. Some people may not have this thought or desire, they come with nothing, they don't care if they leave with nothing, they die without leaving a trace, they don't care if anyone knows they have come.
But Yunfeng felt that it was a kind of sadness. A man has no friends, no one who cares about him, he lives alone in the world, no one understands him, no one cares about him, no one erects a monument when he dies, and no one grieves for him...... So what's the point of living like this? Or is it a meaningless thing to live in the eyes of them.
Of course, this idea does not mean that Yun Feng expects him to be famous and famous, he just hopes that when he is alive, there will be at least one person in the world who knows him - his personality and his story.
Dreams often start with more or less vanity, and getting ahead is fame and profit. If Yunfeng used to aspire to become a walker because he wanted to shine like gold and smile proudly, then now he has more rebellion against reality. He is like a lamb, although his father is a general, but it still can't change the fact that he is a lamb, as long as he is out of the sheepfold, any butcher can slaughter him at will.
This feeling annoyed him.
Anger is a powerful force, and many times it is the driving force to move forward. There are no gods and saviors in this world, so the only one who can save you is yourself. Anger shows that you still have blood in your heart, which gives you the courage to resist, and what people are most afraid of is submission and numbness.
"Rest well. Although Su Rou's concern was a thousand words, she also knew that Yun Feng's injury was serious and it was not appropriate to say more, so she reluctantly left after two sentences, so that Yun Feng could save her strength and say a few more words to her father.
At this time, Yun Zhan stepped forward and said, "Feng'er, this is Senior Que, your life-saving benefactor." ”
At this time, Yun Feng noticed that in the corner of the room, there was a woman in a gray cloak, although the big hood covered most of her fair face, but Yun Feng still saw a pair of icy eyes hidden in the shadow of the brim. She is naturally a "senior" to Yun Feng, but Yun Feng does not seem to be more than twenty-five years old.
And what made Yun Feng puzzled was that there were only parents and her in the room, but he hadn't noticed her.
......
......
Last night.
"You have no teeth for the Yun family's great kindness, and you dare to ask the name of your benefactor. Yun Zhan said with great gratitude, although Yun Feng had not yet woken up at this time, his injuries had been effectively controlled under the woman's overnight treatment.
"Que. After a brief silence, Tsukihime gently spat out a word from her red lips. It's not that she can't believe Yun Zhan, it's just that the less people know her name, the better.
"I have basically repaired the key parts of his internal organs that are damaged, and it is estimated that he will wake up tomorrow, but it will take a long time for him to fully recover. Tsukihime looked at Yun Feng lying on the bed, and at this time the latter no longer had the painful expression he had before, and his face was calm.
"Thank you, Miss Que, if there is a need for Yun, just ask. Yun Zhan once again expressed his affection. However, he felt that since the other party could repair Feng'er's damaged internal organs in such a short time, he must have reached a realm beyond his reach, although he commanded an army of 100,000, but for a walker like her, it was unlikely that he could use himself.
"I just had a request. Unexpectedly, Tsukihime made a request to Yun Zhan.
"Miss Que, please speak. Although Yun Zhan was a little surprised by Yueji's answer, since he promised the other party, it could not be perfunctory. As long as it is not a matter of principle or harms the interests of the country, he is duty-bound.
Yueji pointed at Yun Feng, looked at Yun Zhan and said seriously: "I want him to die......"
Yun Zhan was stunned for a moment, bowed his head and thought slightly. Then he said, "Got it......"
......
......
When he first saw Yuehime, Yunfeng had an indescribable sense of intimacy, although he had never met, but he seemed familiar, perhaps because of the grace of saving his life: "Thanks to the great grace of his predecessors, Yunfeng will be remembered forever." ”
Tsukihime: "You don't need to remember, just follow me." ”
Yun Feng said dryly: "Okay." ”
This made Yueji a little surprised, she didn't expect Yun Feng to answer so without thinking, but this was also in line with her expectations, and she didn't have to spend time explaining why she wanted to go with her. However, Yueji's answer to Yunfeng can not be moved, and Yunzhan is not so calm, not that he is surprised by this result, on the contrary, Yueji's words he has known for a long time, but this short conversation falls into anyone's ears, it will make people feel that Yunfeng and Yueji have known each other for a long time. It's as if it's been discussed.
Of course, Yunfeng didn't discuss it with Tsukihime.
There is only one reason why he agreed so readily - that is, Tsukihime is very strong. Yun Feng somewhat knew that his injuries had been bad, and the strength of the person who could pull him out of the ghost gate was undoubted. He was now desperate to make himself strong and return Uncle Jing's silver spear to the man in white who was neither male nor female. This alone is worth going with Yunfeng over all obstacles......
This is Yunfeng's decision, and it is also Yunzhan's decision. When Yueji said last night that Yunfeng would die, Yun Zhan only thought for a moment and understood Yueji's intentions - of course she didn't really want Yunfeng to die, but to "disappear", that is, to make people in the outside world think that Yunfeng was actually dead.
Yun Zhan finally made this decision because he had a premonition that he had no control over the future. It has been a few days since Yun Feng was attacked, but the investigation of the incident has made no progress, not only has no useful information been excavated from the corpse of the old man with thick eyebrows, but he also has no clue about the mastermind behind the assassination or the purpose of Yun Zhan.
Judging by the situation at the scene, there were at least two assassins. The wounds on Uncle Jing's body clearly showed that the person who killed him had an extremely high cultivation, and his body shape and technique were even more unpredictable, even though Chu Lao was well-informed and experienced, he had never seen such a move. Such a master should not be unknown in the kingdom of the Shire.
Yun Zhan commands the army, and there is no shortage of masters around him, and the best protection for his son should be to let him stay by his side, which is undoubtedly the best choice from the perspective of conventional logic. However, in the face of a powerful enemy hidden in the darkness, Yun Zhan smelled a danger beyond his ability, which could not be countered by a large number of people.
Moreover, he knows his son's character very well - Yunfeng is not the kind of man who hides behind his parents and seeks refuge, he has his own dreams. As a father, he can devote his heart and soul to protecting Yunfeng for the rest of his life, and even arrange everything for Yunfeng before he dies. But this kind of life is definitely not what Yunfeng wants. It is better to move forward bravely than to survive like this.
Moreover, the front line sent back an urgent military situation, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Kingdom secretly continued to increase troops to the border, and the army was ready to move, I am afraid that there will be some attempts. The decree had been issued a few days before, and His Majesty had ordered him to be ready to lead his army westward, and to march to the city at any time to take over the defense.
To the west of Elbis is the endless Rocky Mountains, which are also the border between the Shire Kingdom and the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts. The mountain range stretches for thousands of kilometers, the peaks are steep and magnificent, and the vegetation is mostly deciduous broad-leaved forest. There are many horizontal valleys in the mountains, which is the southwest traffic artery, and Luocheng is located in one of the horizontal valleys, which is a place where soldiers must fight, and the strategic location is particularly important.
According to Yun Zhan's previous plan, he is now in command of the city, and Yun Feng is arranged by him to study at the Lostant Academy. Located in Lostant, the capital of the Shire Kingdom, Lostant College is the best college in the Shire Kingdom, and it is also one of the few colleges in the entire kingdom that has a branch of Xingqi.
However, Yun Zhan didn't expect that Yunfeng would be attacked at this juncture, but fortunately he was saved by Yueji. But Yun Zhan also knew very well - as long as the assassin learned that Yun Feng was still alive, he would inevitably strike again. Maybe he could lure the snake out of the hole and have a chance to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, but he couldn't afford to take the risk. Therefore, the safest way for Yunfeng is to make the enemy think that he is dead.
In fact, from the moment Tsukihime appeared, Yun Zhan had already understood that this war was beyond his ability.
Whether handing over Yunfeng to Tsukihime is the best choice, Yun Zhan doesn't know. He only knew that if there was anyone in this world who could use his life to protect Yunfeng, apart from him and Uncle Jing, there was only the unfazed woman in front of him.
Sixty-ninth year of the era, autumn. The son of General Yun Zhan was attacked in the alley of Albes, seriously wounded, and died four days later. In the autumn of the same year, Yun Zhan led his army into Luocheng to strictly prevent the invasion of foreign enemies......
