Ranger 2: Eye of the Storm Chapter 8: Self-Knowledge

Baili Xuance finally walked back with a bag of wild fruits, only to see King Lanling sitting at the entrance of the cave, his face seemed to have no emotional fluctuations, only to see his left hand tightly grasp a sharp stone, just a little force, the stone was crushed. Baili Xuance knew that King Lanling usually hid his facial emotions in the deepest part of his heart when he was alone, but he didn't like to hide his actions. Seeing him behave like this, he felt an inexplicable trembling, and said, "Master······ Master······ You can take your breath away······"

King Lanling snatched the wild fruit angrily, took a bite hard, and scolded: "I don't know the things that people are good at! I was injured by ants, and I spoke for the ants!" Baili Xuance cautiously tentatively said: "The poisonous ······ in Sister Mulan"

"She can handle it herself, don't you believe her?Hey Xuance, tell me, how did you endure this mother-in-law for so long?" King Lanling was a little angry and pulled Baili Xuance with curiosity and said, "Tell me, is there any special method?"

"Ouch······" Baili Xuance said speechlessly: "Master, Sister Mulan is very good, you guys······ There must be something wrong with this. I think there must have been some misunderstanding between you······ Sister Mulan would never be so angry with us. It's you······ Your words must have violated her principles. ”

"She's a good-tempered person?" said King Lanling in disbelief, "But in this case, she is not a grumpy mother-in-law, but she certainly has no eyesight. Yes, the vision is extremely poor! I still haven't seen that Jin Ting is hopeless. ”

"Master, since the Golden Court is hopeless, what are you still doing here?" Baili Xuance was very curious.

"I grew up here and naturally have a deep affection for it. King Lanling said, his fists clenched unconsciously: "Who made this place what it is now, I know very well in my heart." They've been here long enough, and I'm sure they'll make them pay the price for the one who plunged the Golden Court into the bottomless abyss!"

"That's right. Baili Xuance took the opportunity to say: "Master, you and Sister Mulan are really surprisingly consistent. You should work together to deal with Yang Guang and Yu Wenhua together. "She's not from here, so why take the risk for the sake of the here?" King Lanling shook his head and said, "It's already good that she can leave unharmed." Jinting was not the place she should be. ”

"By the way, how is Sister Mulan's situation? I have to go in and see. Thinking of this, Baili Xuance got up and walked quickly into the cave. King Lanling didn't stop him but continued to eat the fruit, and suddenly heard Baili Xuance exclaim: "Sister Mulan, wake up!" King Lanling was taken aback, threw the fruit on the ground, turned over and ran into the cave.

"What's going on?" said King Lanling. Baili Xuance shook Hua Mulan, who was unconscious in front of the stone wall, and said, "Sister Mulan is feverish and unconscious. ”

"What a fool! I don't know how to govern myself, I have to force it!" King Lanling scolded secretly and said, "You help her up and sit down, bear with it, and I will use the cold field to cool down." Baili Xuance said "um", and then sat behind Mulan and held her body up straight. King Lanling stretched out his hand and tapped a few times on Mulan's left leg, and said to himself: "Actually, you only need to suck out all the poisonous blood, and there won't be any big problems." ”

"Do you want to suck it with your mouth?" Baili Xuance's eyes widened, and he volunteered without much hesitation: "Master let me come!

"You do it for me!" King Lanling said in an unquestionable tone: "I can handle this trivial matter, you just need to help her." So he really knelt down, lowered his head, sucked blood from the wound on Mulan's leg, and vomited aside. Baili Xuance didn't dare to look at it at all, and he could only hear the sound when he turned his head. To his surprise, King Lanling was engrossed in sucking poisonous blood, and there was no superfluous sound other than that, only the temperature in the cave that was gradually lowered by the Heavenly Cold Realm made him tremble slightly.

"Okay!" I don't know how long it took, Baili Xuance's body was about to stiffen, and then King Lanling got up tiredly, stretched and said, "She's out of danger." Baili Xuance wanted to get up, but his legs were numb. I finally got up, looked at the blood on the ground and saw that the blood on the ground had appeared a little bright red, and then saw that Hua Mulan's body had recovered as before, and the wound on her left leg was no longer the oozing black and purple, and I was pleasantly surprised to protect the Lanling King and said, "Master, thank you so much!"

"Alright, alright. King Lanling hurriedly dragged him away and said, "I'm good at repaying grievances with virtue, don't you understand? "Uh-huh. Baili Xuance nodded again and again.

As the night deepened, King Lanling leaned on the other side of the cave and gradually dozed off. He was in the golden court, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he simply turned on his stealth. Just as he was about to fall asleep, Baili Xuance exclaimed again: "Master, where are you, Master?"

"What are you doing?" King Lanling yawned, and then he appeared: "How can she ······?" saw that Mulan's whole face was blue and there was no trace of blood, and she couldn't stop trembling, and said strangely: "Is this cold again?"

"Cold ······ Cold ······" I saw Mulan's eyes closed, as if tears were flowing out, and she couldn't stop sobbing.

"How······ What should I do?" it was the first time for Baili Xuance to see Mulan like this, and he panicked for a while.

"Interesting. King Lanling muttered: "Her appearance and inner appearance are not at all like a person, maybe she is really not a crazy woman, she is still a little woman at heart." He stepped forward and said, "Since she's cold, why don't you just give her some warmth?" and loosened his clothes.

"Master, you ······ What are you going to do?" Baili Xuance was dumbfounded when he saw him like this: "It won't be ······"

"What do you want?" King Lanling patted him on the head: "Do you have any other way? A little impatiently hugged Mulan into his arms, Mulan's cold body suddenly completely dispelled his sleepiness, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, unable to say a word.

"Master······ Are you okay?" Baili Xuance looked at the unspeakable appearance of King Lanling, and felt very funny, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud. King Lanling covered Mulan's body with his coat, stretched out his hand to grab her, and said, "Okay! You sleep, I'll do it here······ Get it done······" But I couldn't stop shaking.

"Good. Baili Xuance turned his head, but he was snickering all the time, how could he be a little sleepy.

The next day, dawn rose.

Hua Mulan slowly opened her eyes, only to see that she was lying completely on the ground, but she was covered with half of the battle robe of King Lanling, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised: "This is ······"

"Hey!" King Lanling suddenly appeared, grabbed his battle robe and put it on his body, and said, "The sleeping position is really ugly, and I like to lie down in extraordinary times." He shook his head and walked straight out of the cave.

"Hey!" Mulan wanted to say something, but King Lanling ignored it. At this time, Baili Xuance stepped forward and said, "Sister Mulan, don't pay attention to the master, he is just warm in his heart and cold on the surface, and he will never admit it." ”

"What do you mean?" Mulan said, "I'······ What's wrong with me? I remember······ I felt like I had fainted. And then what happened?"

"This thing ······" Baili Xuance pretended to be mysterious and said, "Actually, it was the master who saved you." "Oh?" Mulan was not very surprised, and said, "He······ How did he do it?" Baili Xuance said what happened last night, and talked nonsense about the situation that the king of Lanling was embarrassed and Hua Mulan suddenly hugged the king of Lanling.

The more Mulan listened, the redder her face became, and she couldn't believe it at all: "He'······ He slept with me in his arms? Why? Just to ······"" You're chilling. Baili Xuance smiled: "Sister Mulan doesn't have to care about this, I know you must be at a loss, but the situation was urgent last night, so it can only be like this." ”

"Alas······ Or am I······ The attitude towards him is not very good. Mulan got up and said, "But the grace of saving lives······ After all, it has to be reported. As he spoke, he walked out slowly, leaving Baili Xuance behind and secretly happy.

King Lanling was leaning against the mouth of the cave and watching the sun gradually rise, and Mulan walked out, staring at him directly without speaking. King Lanling was stared at very uncomfortable, and said, "What are you doing here, do you have anything to say?"

"I'm sorry. Mulan laughed self-deprecatingly: "Because now I don't think you are a person who ignores life, and if you think about it, you are not a person who only likes blood." Otherwise······ You won't save Xuan Ce in the past, and you won't save me this time. Our bloodline is the most ordinary people. ”

"It's not easy. King Lanling pretended to be surprised and said, "Since you admit your mistake, I will tell you the truth." Why are you so determined to save the people in this golden court who are actually not saved, I think I may have an answer. ”

"Have an answer?" Hua Mulan did not refute the question of "whether the people of Jinting were saved", and said with some curiosity: "What kind of answer? ”

"I'll have to ask you first. King Lanling frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Who is Zhongqing?

When Mulan heard this, her face changed suddenly, and she said, "How did you know this? King Lanling shook his head and said: "I heard it last night, I heard you shouting 'Zhongqing' and 'Laneige' in my ear very painfully, you should have a very close relationship, but your tone is very sad, you should be ······"

"Not bad. Hua Mulan fell back a little weakly, leaned against the stone wall at the entrance of the cave and said: "Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi, they used to be my closest partners, and we are like relatives." As she spoke, her tears flowed down unconsciously.

"The counterattack of the Northern Xinjiang Guards was won, but I was the only one who survived among the soldiers of the new barracks. Hua Mulan covered her face in pain, and finally continued: "I can't even protect my closest comrades, I have failed too many people." So when I came to the Great Wall and saw the more tragic scenes of the Great Wall, I made up my mind that I would never give up any life in front of me. No matter how great the sacrifice is, we must bring them back. ”

"I'm afraid the rest of the Glory Alliance doesn't know about your past. King Lanling said: "The leader of the Glory Alliance and the Great Wall Guards, it is not easy to have such an experience. But the truth is so cruel, the people in the Golden Court are different from the people of the Great Wall, they are really not worth saving. What you have to think about now is how to save yourself. ”

"I'm going to save myself······" Mulan nodded and muttered, "Then do you still want to save yourself?"

"I've been saving myself. King Lanling sighed: "The Golden Court was harmed by Yang Guang and Yu's culture, and the policy was changed by them, which caused the Golden Court to become the current miasma. The eye of the storm ravages the desert and they are inseparable, and I will leave here, but until then, I must kill them and pay tribute to all those who have been killed by them. ”

"I'll help you. Hua Mulan nodded firmly again and said, "That Yuwen Chengdu has very high skills, I will deal with him." "I think you should deal with your demons first. King Lanling said: "You go to the fourth and fifth rings to see if those people are worth saving." When you really understand when you need to give up, you really get rid of your demons. I'm sure your departed friends don't want you to be bound by this past forever. ”

"Good. Hua Mulan unexpectedly agreed with King Lanling, nodded and said, "I will go and take a good look at this Golden Court, whether it is saved or not, and whether the people here still have a trace of humanity." "Xuan Ce!" King Lanling summoned out Baili Xuan Ce and said, "I'm going to see Yu Juluo, only by cooperating with him can I quickly deal with Yu Wenhua." Xuan Ce, you go to Yuwen Chengdu, try your best to lure him away, and get as far away from the ring as possible. We don't have to think too much, after Yu Juluo and I killed Yu Wenhua and others, Yuwen Chengdu will inevitably clash head-on with Yang Guangqi, and when the time comes, it won't be too difficult for us to improvise and clean them all up. ”

"Understood. Baili Xuance said: "I'll do it." Hua Mulan glanced at him and instructed: "Xuan Ce, Yuwen Chengdu is very skilled, you must be careful in everything." Baili Xuance nodded and turned to leave.

"You can keep this. King Lanling took a few swarthy pills from nowhere and said, "Pinch and rub your wounds, you can remove the scars, otherwise it won't look good." ”

Hua Mulan smiled bitterly and said, "People who go to the battlefield, do they still care about what scars are good-looking or not?" But still took the pill.

King Lanling's body disappeared silently: "The scar is a medal after the soldier's hard work, and I have taken it as an honor since I was a child. But you are a woman, and you will marry someone in the future, and it is always bad to leave these behind. But in the end, the decision is still up to you. Then there was no sound.

"Man······ Women's ······ What's the difference?" Mulan never wanted to admit this statement in her heart, and with a squeeze of her left hand, she pinched the pill into powder, wiped it on the wound on her left leg and thigh, took a deep breath, and jumped down the hill and fell back into the village below.
