Chapter 17: War Again

For the rest of the day, I didn't go out, not for anything else, because I wanted to be alone when I knew the truth. Fortunately, Qiu Qinying is still a director, and she saw my strangeness, and she didn't dare to do anything to disturb me. Only when I was eating, she thought that I had a dish with chopsticks. I know she's learning from me about Midnight.

I didn't say anything, because I didn't want to make any more misunderstandings, so I didn't go back to Qiu Qinying, but just thanked her out of courtesy. This alone made Qiu Qinying embarrassed to accept it, and nodded slightly.

The longer I spent with Qiu Qinying, the more I discovered the misunderstanding I had about her. She is not a deep boudoir like a big lady, she still knows a lot. Even if she doesn't have much contact with me, she can help me answer the difficult points in the copywriting I usually read or the books I read. It seems that there is more than one woman who reads poetry and books in midnight.

On the day of my departure, I said goodbye to Qiu Qinying, instructed Lao Hong's house, and went out. Before leaving, Qiu Qinying said something like paying attention to safety, but it was inevitable that something would happen in the war, so I didn't say it in order not to hurt her heart. Because I was afraid that Qiu Qinying would always think about me, I had to talk to her much, hoping that she could use more than a month to forget about my godliness.

The first thing to do was not to go to the empty building, but to go to Midnight's house, and I knew that Midnight must be at home at this time.

Following my memory, when I arrived at the door of my house at midnight, the first thing I saw was Mingxue. Mingxue's appearance hasn't changed at all, and of course, her attitude towards me hasn't changed either.

"Our general is bathing, General Yan, please go back. ”

I took a step forward and asked, "Can I go inside and wait?"

"Is there anything urgent about General Yan?"

"Nope. ”

Ming Xue bowed slightly and said, "I'm sorry, you know the rules." ”

I didn't show weakness, nor did I show the slightest sign of leaving. Mingxue won't chase me, she still knows the rules.

"It's okay, let him in. "I heard the sound of midnight.

Because of the words of midnight, Mingxue couldn't say anything, so she had to retreat to the side, although there was no expression on her face, I still felt her helpless look. There was a relaxed and happy look on my face in an instant, not because of Mingxue's retreat, but because I would soon be able to see midnight. Because of Qiu Qinying before, I was cautious and cautious in the house, and I could only be presumptuous in front of midnight.

"You're here. ”

Midnight just whispered, and there was no hint of complaint in my rash tone.

She was wiping her hair with a light blue cotton cloth, and because it was hot water, and the house had been shady all the time, so a little heat could be seen in the closest part of her hair to the air, but it would then disappear. This hazy feeling is like the feeling of midnight towards me, never uncertain and unable to grasp.

Midnight was wearing a light purple yukata embroidered with a small red flower that could not be named. It was the first time Midnight hadn't worn black. Although she had just come out of the bath, Midnight's body was not much exposed to my eyes, and she was tightly wrapped by herself. But even so, this kind of midnight still makes people feel hot.

"Isn't it weird?" Seeing that I had been staring, Midnight looked at myself with an embarrassed look.

I came back to my senses and said, "No, it's pretty." It's rare to see that you don't wear black, this look is still good-looking, and it will be the best in the future. Also, it's better to have this red flower, so I said that red is the best match for you, and it happens that your skin is white. ”

Midnight lowered his head shyly, and after a while, he asked with a wicked smile: "You know how women dress?"

"No, I grew up with my sister, so I naturally know something. "At this point, I suddenly became gloomy, and I remembered the old days.

"Do you remember the past?"

"Yes. ”

I pondered for a long time, and felt that this matter should not be hidden from Midnight, and said, "I used the spirit detective to know something very important. ”

Unexpectedly, Midnight's expression was very nervous, and the expression on her face all receded, leaving only a panicked look. She asked, "What did you see?"

"About me and the domain territory. I didn't expect to misunderstand him. He didn't collude with the Que Demon Clan at all, let alone take advantage of me. Everything he did was for me, and I relied on my own ideas to talk back to him. However, the domain leader can't say anything, which is why the misunderstanding between us is getting worse and worse. Everything he did was for me and for me. But I don't, I really shouldn't. ”

I felt my head being touched, and I knew it was Midnight's hand. Her hands were never warm, and although they felt cold, I still felt the affection of midnight, and she wanted to help me free myself from my own guilt.

"It's already like this, it's useless to be sad, time and action are the best way to repay it. This line, everything is over. ”

Midnight's low tone reminded me of her previous situation, she understood, but she hid it in her heart. She was right, time and action are the best way to repay.

"Then let's go. I stood up straight and said to Midnight.

Midnight looked at me and smiled. She turned to the house to change her clothes, and when she came out, she was already in black silk armor, and her hair was slightly curly because it had not dried. I picked up the comb, knotted her, smoothed her hair, and used the cotton towel to dry Midnight's hair. Midnight didn't stop me, relying on me to help her tidy up. I followed the instructions of the middle night and helped her with a simple combing of her hair.

Facing himself in this mirror, Midnight looked at it repeatedly, and touched his hair with his left hand from time to time. I grabbed Midnight's hand from behind, coldly.

Out of stress, Midnight pulled her hand back, but it didn't pull out, and my hand was held tightly by me until Midnight stopped making any more moves. As my hand gradually touched the black stripe of midnight, we withdrew our hands at the same time. It's because I feel the uneasiness of midnight, and it's hard for me to know what midnight is for.

"Let's go. Midnight stood up.

"But your hair hasn't dried yet. ”

"It doesn't matter, maybe a blow of the wind would be better. ”

I stood up and walked out the door with Midnight. Because going out is a common thing for midnight, she didn't say anything to Mingxue. Mingxue just sent us out, and didn't do anything else, and didn't say anything as instructed.

"The Soul Breaking Realm has always been so unpeaceful?" because I just came back and left, which made me very uncomfortable.

"You don't understand?"

"Guan Yunyu is isolated from the world, and I don't know anything about the outside world. ”

As we walked down the street, we were saluted from time to time, so much so that it was difficult to answer my questions right away in the middle of the night. When I got to a place where there were few people, I said it in the middle of the night.

"Not before, I used to stay in empty buildings or forbidden areas to train soldiers and improve my abilities, and the so-called wars were too small to talk about. I've only encountered such a thing once as a riot. However, after you came, it was different, you could receive unusual information in two or three days, and you also knew that this was the second major battle. ”

"My fault?" I just think Midnight compared me to a scourge.

"That's not it, it's a coincidence. It is precisely because of the unusualness that I have the order to take you. Maybe it's providence. ”

I nodded thoughtfully, in conjunction with midnight. But Midnight still saw that I couldn't accept her answer, and gave me a blank look, but I didn't feel anything, and according to the handshake I had with Midnight just now, I couldn't detect her disgust in any reaction to Midnight, it didn't mean anything. Presumably the same is true of Midnight.

"The two of you are so laid-back. ”

Not from the voice, but from the tone, you know that the person who is close to this is Jun Youxiao. I turned around and saw that it was him, so I put on a helpless look.

"What, you're not welcome?" said him, and he stepped in between me and Midnight.

"No, Chen Chi may be so unhappy because we were interrupted by you while we were chatting. ”

Jun Youxiao was interested and asked, "What topic?"

"Nothing unusual, it's about this departure. ”

Jun Youxiao's expression suddenly became serious again, he stopped talking, and lowered his head to think about something. After thinking for a long time, he said, "I'm afraid that the rest of life will not be easy." ”

"What do you mean by that?" I asked.

"Recently, not only the Xiuze Realm, but also the Que Demon Clan have been moving, and they are all coming for us Lan Yun. I'm afraid this incident is not just a legend, it should be true. I think you all know about it, so I said it, and you think about it, right?"

I nodded, and midnight was silent. Usually at this time, midnight is the default.

"So, there is a piece of Lan Yun in our Broken Spirit Realm, and a spy came to report it before, saying that the Que Demon Clan had noticed that Guan Yun's breath was in Guan Yun's domain and would destroy the entire Guan Yun domain. This time, Jingshan is even more targeted, because of the special origin of this place, so there is a great chance of Lan Yun's existence. ”

After listening to Jun Youxiao's words, I also thought about it carefully, thinking that this is not false, at the beginning of Guan Yunyu, the mouths of the Que Demon Clan were all Lan Yun. The moment Sha Hai pressed me against the tree, it was because he was aware of Lan Yun's presence. At that time, it was because I didn't know that Lan Yun was my necklace, so I escaped. Now that I think about it, all of this is for Lan Yun.

Thinking about it, I touched Lan Yun through my clothes, but I didn't want to find out my little movements in the middle of the night.

The group of us was thinking about our own thoughts, and no one said anything anymore, and this atmosphere was really strange for the three of us together. But the silence didn't last long, as we were soon in the forbidden realm. Waiting for us is an army that is already ready.

Back in our respective rooms, the three of us hurried back after changing our battle robes, and after converging, we led the army away.

"The whole army marches forward. ”

Before leaving, I saw that the mouth of the realm lord who had come to see him off was open, and he still didn't say what he wanted to say. I knew what he was trying to say, just what he was told. I didn't hear it, but for me, he opened his mouth, and that was enough.

We must feel it quickly, because we all feel that what awaits us is a battle of life and death. Its tragedy is indescribable, but the more it is like this, the more it has to move forward. For the innocent people behind me, for Qiu Qinying who is waiting at home, for the realm lord who hasn't spoken yet, and finally for the domain leader who has always had high hopes for me. We must move forward, even if we die on the battlefield, we cannot let the enemy take a step forward.
