Xie Ci drew a knife and killed Lu Xinyi.

In the pitch-black tent, a snow-colored knife light flashed across Lu Xinyi's neck and disappeared in a flash. Scarlet blood spurted out from his neck, and Lu Xinyi sat stiff for a moment with his eyes wide open, and fell to the ground with a thud. He's dead.

Xie Ci held the knife in one hand, standing motionless in front of Lu Xinyi's corpse, blood splattered on his forehead, and the blade pointed obliquely to the ground ticked, but what was rolling in front of him was Lu Xinyi's hysterical appearance and words.

He gasped heavily, and his other hand clutched the blackened brass letterhead and the jade spring note. Gu Wan found that his hands were trembling. Lu Xinyi died, but everyone was not happy or happy, everyone was at a loss, and they couldn't believe it, and the room was as dark and quiet as if they were dead.

"Get out."

After a long time, Xie Ci said in a dumb voice: "Go out." His voice was hoarse as sand and gravel, and there was a feeling of congestion.

The people behind him retreated one after another, and a ray of cold moonlight penetrated through the crack in the tent, dividing the bloody tent

Two.

Xie Yu remained motionless and froze in the dark.

Until there was a sound of footsteps outside, he slowly raised his eyes, the curtain of the tent was raised, and a long figure with purple boots and black armor stood at the door of the tent against the light, it was Li Yi.

Li Yi is in charge of the caretaker of the main account, so he can give Xie resignation this convenience.

Xie Ci probably didn't know that his teeth were trembling at the moment, his eyes were bloodshot, and the moonlight reflected on the ground in an instant, illuminating his face miserably.

Li Yi slowly walked to his side, and in the dark, he stood quietly for a moment and whispered, "That's it." "This world can't tolerate these people."

Li Yi's father, Li Chun, the former king of Xiaoshan, is actually the person between Lu Jingzhao and Xie Xinxin.

After Lu Jingzhao died, Xie Xinxin was still young, and took Lu Xinyi back to the Northern Army to strive upward, and it was Li Yi's father Li Chun who succeeded Lu Jingzhao as the commander of the Northern Army at that time.

is also a person who is enthusiastic and loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and has the Li family in mind. But in the end, he also died.

In the end, Li Chun was robbed of military power, robbed his family and took away the prince, and flowed to the northwest, where Li Yi grew up. "It doesn't matter if you don't have a lord, a meritorious service, or a clan."

Li Yi pursed his lips, tilted his head, closed his eyes, and opened them again: "It's all the same anyway."

In a pitch-black tent.

Xie Ci's blood was flowing backwards, half of his heart was as indignant as fire, the raging flames almost burned everything, but the other side was like ice,

The cold ice clumped together, and it couldn't burn, and even his blood vessels froze all over his body.

His mind was buzzing, and the wind outside the eardrum tent was whirring, distant and clear, like a strange sound, whistling and covering the whole world.

Xie Ci never knew that his father and brother were facing so many things.

When he was whistling and beating horses across the streets, and spending a lot of money on it, his father was so mired.

Arrows from all directions, the emperor's suspicion, the minister's deliberation, Xie Xin's loyalty and perseverance all his life, but in the end he became a thorn in everyone's side.

He died from Lu Xinyi's backstabbing.

But he didn't die only from Lu Xinyi's backstabbing. This tragedy is not accidental, but inevitable.

The sky is vast, and there is no way for the Xie family father and son to live between heaven and earth.

For a long time, the heart of gratitude and loyalty has never changed, even if his father and brother died unjustly, he is still the iron-clad man of the Xie family. After he broke through in a bloody battle, facing Cheng Lizhang's bloodstained four fingers and face, he shouted: "The Great Wei Army is here, he is there!" Horizontal guns are immediately guarded to protect the country.

The dynasty is here, and his resignation is there.

Even Qin Xian's relaying of his father's admonition back then was the same - "Behind us is our home and country." Those who are ministers should be loyal; For the generals, both dressed in armor and green, when the horizontal knife is immediately swords, I will do my best to defend the country and Li Shu, and the horse leather shroud should not regret it. "

However, today everything has been overturned, and the truth is so cold and cruel, and the world is sinister from top to bottom. The Great Wei Dynasty doesn't need people like them, and it can't tolerate these people, loyalty can only end up with death!

Xie Ci was indignant, and cold, dazed as if standing on the vast prairie, encountering a hundred feet of ice, an indignation did not know where to vent out, and all beliefs were shattered in an instant.

At this moment, the world was spinning.

The rain stopped, the wind blew away the cumulus clouds, and a line of the moon hung over the eastern sky.

It's just that tonight's moonlight does not illuminate the road ahead, there is no road ahead, the messy battlefield is still scattered, in it, except for the smell of blood, the bright moonlight shines quietly, unchanged and incomparably cruel.

Soon after returning from his resignation, he developed a high fever.

His wound was not as light as he said, under such a nine-life fight, all the survivors were scarred, and Xie Ci was no exception, although his wound was not in a fatal place, but it was extremely deep, almost piercing the shoulder blade, not bandaged and fighting, and the blood was almost dry.

The people who came back that day had already been feverish, but there was only one thank-you speech, all on the basis of it

A willpower is supporting.

The breath suddenly poured out, and the high fever came in an instant.

The first half of the night.

After Gu Wan came back, he was very worried about his resignation, so he didn't sleep, picked a lamp, and sat on the edge of the bed.

Hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside, Qin Ying rushed into the tent, her expression changed in a hurry, "Yuan Niang! The little four has a fever and is high

grasp

Very high, very high, menacing, just one kung fu in and out, it has already burned to the point of delirium. Xie Yun even crawled and rolled out, so anxious that his voice changed.

Gu Guan's heart tightened!

She knew that this might be the biggest hurdle in her life. - His eye injury has not healed, and he groped his way for thousands of miles, but only touched a few cold tombstones.

He wanted to find out the truth of the year, but everything was already unusual, and it was difficult to find the traces of the ship, so he tried his best to find one or two, but he was the ruler of the dynasty. And the new emperor just tried his best to overturn the case for the Xie family. Grace and hatred, loyalty and righteousness, the country is in danger, all forces are mixed together, if he insists on going his own way, this crumbling edifice will collapse in an instant.

In the last life, Xie Ci can be said to have died on this. At this time, where can Gu Wan take care of anything else, and now everything else has to retreat to the place of a shot, she quickly stood up, and flew to the big tent of Xie Ci with Qin Ying as fast as possible.

At the same time, there were also military doctors, Xie Yun Xie Ping and others rushed back with the military doctors on their backs, everyone rushed in front and back, Xie Ci was already burned red, his body was like burning charcoal, there was no thermometer, but it must have exceeded forty degrees.

The armor and shirt on his body had been peeled off, the layers of gauze wrapped, the old and new scars all over his body, the center and edges of the gauze were glowing with a large patch of semi-dried red, and the whole person was burned hot and red, which was shocking.

The military doctor was shocked, hurriedly opened the medicine box, and the golden needles pierced the acupoints, so he hurriedly called someone to hurry to the wounded camp to bring a bowl of boiled antipyretics, check the pulse, and hurriedly revise the prescription, so that people picked it up and hurriedly boiled it.

But the resignation did not go away at all, and the soaring temperature continued all the time.

He even forced the military doctor to add a heavy medicine, but he pried his teeth again, but he couldn't pry them open at all, and the medicine poured into his throat could not come out, but flowed out again, and a large brown patch wet the pillow.

The other person was not awake, he was babbling, but he couldn't hear what he was saying, only faintly heard a few vague "father" and "brother", the whole person was like being fished out of water, the gauze was completely soaked, and the wound overflowed blood again.

There were a lot of people in the tent, Qin Guan was carrying Qin Xian, Chen Luo, Chen Yan, Su Zhen, He Yuan, Su Wei and others all heard the news, and everyone was anxious. The military doctor said urgently: "

If this fever can't go down, I'm afraid it's going to be bad!"

In the end, it was Gu Guan, Gu Wan was in a hurry, she clenched her hot hand tightly, "Thank you! Thank you! Hear me, you quick

Wake up! We're all waiting for you!"

"Didn't you say that you would take me back to Zhongdu in the future, how can you talk and not count?" Your mother is waiting for you! And Mingming them, they are all waiting to go home!" With one free hand, she slapped Xie Ci's face and shouted loudly in his ear.

Finally, Xie Ci seemed to hear something, and he paused, and his heavy, hot breath continued for a moment, and he finally barely opened his eyes a little.

Gu Wan was overjoyed, quickly took the medicine bowl, raised his head slightly, and fed the medicine little by little. After Xie Ci finished taking the medicine, he passed out.

Fortunately, the military doctor has excellent medical skills and is very good at treating post-traumatic high fever.

It dropped a little, and then slowly continued to drop, repeating it once, but the temperature was not so alarming, and by the time it was almost dawn, the fever finally subsided completely.

All night, thrilling.

The military doctor observed for another hour, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it should be fine, the wound is in good condition, be careful not to break it again, and the blood and qi will be recuperated later, and it will be fine."

The military doctor didn't know about Lu Xinyi, but he said that it was a high fever caused by deep trauma, and he finally survived.

The military doctor, together with Xie Yun and Xie Ping, worked together to help Xie Ci up, changed his sweaty clothes and bandages again, and Gu Wan twisted the handkerchief outside the tent.

After getting it done, the military doctor told a few words, and let the rest of the people disperse, don't gather so much, the trauma is the most taboo wind and evil obstacles, let add one

Set up a screen, then lift the tent door, ventilate it for a while, and leave one or two people to take care of it.

So Qin Xian and the others went back.

Qin Xian's condition is not good, half of his body is paralyzed after being poisoned and he can't move much, and he is still in the slow recovery period, and he doesn't know when he will get better.

Gu Wan listened to the footsteps outside the tent and the voice of the military doctor chattering angrily to Qin Xian, and gradually faded away. Outside, it was already getting dark.

After a thrilling night, it was finally quiet and settled, Xie Ci lay on the marching bed with a pale face, Gu Wan touched his forehead, and finally let out a long breath.

After lifting the curtain and ventilating for half an hour, and feeding Xie Ci porridge and decoction again, his situation finally settled down completely. Gu Wan whispered and ordered, let Xie Yun

They arranged to take turns to rest. Xie Yun retreated lightly with the empty medicine bowl.

The huge tent was very quiet, only the mugwort incense ordered by the military doctor to sterilize was burning, Gu Wan also drank some porridge, ran around and stayed up all night, her eyelids were very heavy, and finally fell asleep on the camphor wood box next to the bed.

After sleeping until mid-afternoon, Gu Wan vaguely felt that someone had covered her with something, she fell asleep again, and when she woke up again, she quickly opened her eyes, and the black cloak on her body slid down to the ground.

She looked back at Xie Ci, only to find that Xie Ci had woken up early.

His face was very pale, without a trace of blood, Xie Ci lost a lot of blood, and even the wound burned and bleed very slowly, and the muscles faintly saw a slight paleness of blood loss.

There was no light in the room, he sat quietly on the bed with his knees crossed, staring at the screen and not knowing what to think.

It was as if someone had sucked away his indomitable will, and there was a faint light in his eyes, a shocking death. "Am I stupid and naïve?"

Xie Ci noticed that Gu Wan woke up, his watery eyes turned to look at her, and in the dark, Gu Wan's eyebrows were soft, and he looked at him with concern.

Xie Ci was stunned, he didn't know until today that loyalty had long been out of date, and the Xie family had unknowingly become a stumbling block for everyone.

To this day, when he recalls it, he realizes that Gu Wan's occasional points have stopped, and what he said at the time sounds like a double meaning, but now when he recalls it, he realizes that there can be a deeper meaning.

Gu Wan was not surprised at all by what Lu Xinyi said.

She had seen through this absurd and desolate world early on, but she was kind and gentle and unwilling to break his belief that only existed at that time.

Says who?

Gu Wan shook her head: "You are a hero," she also sat on the side of the marching bed, putting her feet on the edge of the bed and sitting on her knees, she said, "I have known you a long time ago, and I adore you.

It's like today's battle, you have saved so many northern troops and generals, which is very powerful.

Beirong was finally expelled, and the Beikou and Malian Daokou were heavily garrisoned overnight to repair the pass and gate, but Beirong will make a comeback one day, which is certain.

These are all tinder.

Her eyebrows are sincere, and what she says is sincere.

Hero?

Xie Ci smiled bitterly a word of the highest honor in the past but now it is indescribably bitter he stared at the black

After a long pause, he muttered, "I dreamed of my father and my brother."

He choked a little, his heart twitched as he spoke, and the pain was suffocating.

He felt miserable and unworthy for his father and brother.

No wonder, no wonder, no wonder so many people betrayed his father. Except for Su Zhen and the three of them, there is also Yan Zongze, and the three of them are really betrayed, they are all the henchmen who have been in the wind and rain for many years in the past.

The father and son of the Xie family were unjustly beheaded, and during the whole process, so many people in the Northern Army remained silent. It turned out that it had violated everyone's interests.

Now that Qin Xian and others are still willing to follow him to the death, it is really too rare. Xie Ci lowered his head and rubbed the small copper letterbox, and the secret letter written on Yuquan imperial paper in it had been read many times.

Guan Niang, you said this, is it true or false?

The people are still feeling the afterglow of prosperity, but they don't know that the court of the monarchs and ministers above their heads has been rotten, from top to bottom, from the middle to the border army, and the blood is cold, I don't know if there is too much blood loss, he suddenly feels so cold.

"Guan Niang, I'm a little cold." It's cold, it's cold.

There is no road ahead.

Lu Xinyi's words are vivid, and Xie Ci has realized for the first time that he is loyal to the country and the dynasty, and the king is loyal to the monarch, and there is really no way to live.

If he continued on the path of his father and brother, it would be a dead end in the end. It doesn't even take long.

"But, but I can't die, I still have Qin Xian and He Yuan, and I also promised the soldiers who died in battle to take care of their homes......"

But there is no way forward!

Xie Ci was ruthless, and threw the little brass pipe on the ground, and he hated it so much that he stared at it.

Thank you!

His brain was buzzing, but at this moment, there was a clear cheer! Gu Wan straightened up, she solemnly stretched out her hand to pull Xie Ci over.

Gu Wan waited for a long, long time, and Xie Ci said this, the two faced each other, and she said to him slowly and seriously: "There is nothing wrong with loyalty!

She affirmed him in a word.

But personally, I don't think that the loyalty you know today is not a great loyalty. The sages are not cloudy, the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the king is light.

Gu Wan lowered her voice and said word by word, of course she was not denying the Xie family's father and son, but the wise monarch was gone, the dynasty had gone downhill, and she couldn't see it in her life

, is as tragic as Yue Fei.

Gu Wan is a modern person, she can naturally see through the changes of these dynasties, in her eyes, the Qin, Han, Tang and Song dynasties are all the same.

Great loyalty, loyalty to the people, loyalty to the society; Xiao Zhong is loyal to the king of the dynasty. And the country is not this country, and the country is not the DPRK. In the night, she held his shoulders, half-knelt up, and told him every word seriously.

On such a painful night, if someone else said this, Xie Ci might think that the other party was stinging him and satirizing his dead father and brother.

But the person in front of him was Gu Guan.

He didn't resist at all.

It's just that he was stunned when he heard it, loyal to the people, loyal to the community? Xiao Zhong is loyal to the king of the country?

This, can this still be separated?

Thank you for this unprecedented first time, I heard that loyalty and righteousness can be divided in this way, and the country and the people can still be separated? How can this be separated? This is completely different from the concept he has known and accepted since childhood.

He was in a mess in his heart, and he was very uncomfortable, that Xiaozhong Xiaoyi suddenly replaced his father, his heart seemed to have been hit hard, the pain was unbearable, and his eyes and nose were hot all of a sudden.

He covered his face and tried his best to endure it.

"I suddenly miss my father and brother very much today!"

Unprecedentedly thought, knowing that they were struggling against the wind, and persevering in the quagmire, they suffered a cruel backstab. "When they died, they must have been very sad and sad in their hearts, very desperate and indignant."

Xie Ci bent down to pick it up twice, but failed to pick it up, Gu Wan leaned down, picked it up and stuffed it into his hand, pulled his fingers and held it, and let him hold it tightly.

Xie Ci looked up at her, in the dimness, her hair was slightly messy, and her face still had a little haggard and tired, but her eyes were as warm as spring water, just like her palms, softly wrapping him.

Xie Ci muttered: Guan Niang, will you always accompany me?

On this night when his faith was shattered and withered, he lamented the death of his father and brother, the pain of dazedness, and the cold coldness of excessive blood loss swept over his body.

Looking around, he was alone, and he was a little scared.

Hearing this question, Gu Wan exhaled silently, she knew that once this question was answered, there would be no less trouble in the follow-up, but at this moment, facing his pale face, he didn't know how weak he was now, like a drowning person with a pair of eyes that only had hope, she immediately clenched his hands and said without hesitation: Yes, no matter what

Ho, I'll be with you!

In this way, Fang lived up to the resoluteness he had come with at the beginning.

For a moment, Xie Ci's tears could not be held back, and he burst the embankment in an instant, and he closed his eyes, choking and unable to speak for a while.

He threw himself forward and fell on her shoulder, all the tears and pain bursting out with the tears, and in an instant, he soaked a large part of Gu Wan's clothes.

It's good to cry, it's good to cry. It's going to be fine.

Gu Wan was also a little uncomfortable, she took a deep breath and patted him lightly on the shoulder, Cry, just cry, it's okay, it'll be fine. Xie Ci's heart felt like he had been poked by something, it was sour and soft, and his tears surged even more in an instant.

In her warm embrace, in her gentle words and comfort, he could cry to his heart's content.

Xie Ci cried bitterly to the end, hugging her tightly.

He thought that he would never be able to let go of his hand in this life, and he couldn't give her the book.
