A transaction can solve a fatal disaster, which sounds very cost-effective, but is it a bit inconsequential to use Zhuge Wanling's life to make this transaction?

Qin Ke didn't know, but Gao Changgong was obviously against it.

Although he also had to admit that at this moment, in addition to killing Luo Fengxiao, this may be the best solution, even if it can't cure the root cause, it can always put a disaster down for the time being.

"When that day comes, I won't give you to her. After a heated argument, Gao Changgong resolutely made a conclusion on this matter, "You can sell your life to anyone selfishly, but you must know that your current life is still Jingwu's, or the people's, or ...... Those of us. ”

After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "It's just a verbal oath, and if it is broken, it will be broken." ”

Zhuge Wanling looked at Gao Changgong with a smile and said, "I remember that you are not such an untrustworthy person. ”

"Soldiers don't get tired of cheating. Gao Changgong snorted and said sharply, "What's more, I also remember that you have never been a trustworthy person, otherwise why would you lie to this kid?"

Qin Ke actually stood next to him all the time and didn't speak, but he was mentioned by Gao Changgong coldly, and his heart jumped, but he could only stand quietly in place, looking down at his toes, clenching his fists.

Zhuge Wanling also looked at Qin Ke for a long time, and took a step as if he wanted to go up and touch his head, but just raised his foot, but put it back again, and sighed slightly: "But I do owe him a life, I just hope that there will be enough time to finish what needs to be done." ”

In the sound of rubbing leaves, the rain dripped down again, and the three of them returned to the old temple, only to find that there was no longer Luo Fengxiao.

Gao Changgong, who looked at Zhuge Wanling, noticed that he was not surprised at all, and couldn't help but sigh with sorrow: "It seems that my recovery speed is a little slower than her after all, if you don't come, and this kid refuses to be a killer, then I should die in this temple." ”

"No, you won't. Zhuge Wanling smiled gently, "I still want to watch you, the Jingwu God of War, dominate the battlefield in the future, how can you easily lose it here? What's more, don't you also hide a hand?"

Gao Changgong's body stiffened slightly, and he stared at Zhuge Wanling suspiciously: "You can also see this, it seems that I have to avoid you in the future, so as not to know everything." ”

The two watched, but they smiled at each other, and the estrangement caused by the quarrel melted like snowflakes in the spring rain, and as the bonfire lit in the old temple, it lit up a trace of warmth in this cold night.

Ten days later, the city of Ye was built.

Obviously, he hadn't been away for too long, but when Qin Ke returned to the high city walls, he suddenly began to feel that the city was very unfamiliar.

Even though the traffic is still busy, the guard in charge of the rank at the city gate is still so approachable, and when he laughs, he always narrows his eyes into a slit, but it is full of a sense of unreality.

It's like Zhuge Wanling next to him.

Along the way, Qin Ke didn't take the initiative to talk to Zhuge Wanling, and Zhuge Wanling never explained anything to him too much.

But because of this, Qin Ke's heart was like being stuffed into a piece of ice, cold, sharp, and painful.

I have already found you, but you can bear not to recognize me, you have deceived me for so long, but you don't even want to give me a single word of explanation? Even if it is another scam? Or is it really just a wild child that I met halfway and was about to starve to death, whether it was adopted or cared for, it was just a whim? It was just a fate of a meeting in the water......

Qin Ke didn't understand.

Just as Gao Changgong couldn't see this Zhuge Wanling clearly, he could no longer overlap this person with the master of the past.

Sometimes Qin Ke also wanted to yell at him, and wanted to pour out all the grievances in his heart, but in the end he could only endure it silently, and told himself, Ah Ke, you have grown up, you are no longer that child, you are no longer a ......

But he still couldn't help but recall the kind of care that Zhuge Wanling showed to him when he was crowned that day, as if the master had met him again after many years of absence.

"General......" Although it was not the first time that the guards at the gate of the city had seen Gao Changgong enter and exit, they would be inexplicably excited every time, and they would speak a little unfavorably.

Gao Changgong just waved his hand to appease him, and then led the horse with Zhuge Wanling into the door and walked onto the street.

"Aren't you going to talk to him well?explain?" Seeing Qin Ke, who was leaving in a hurry as soon as he entered the city, Gao Changgong felt something and said to Zhuge Wanling.

Zhuge Wanling was also staring at the back, and he couldn't see the joy and sorrow: "I did lie to him, didn't I? I hope he really grows up, don't resent me too much." ”

"Sometimes, I think you're a bastard. Gao Changgong shook his head regretfully and scolded, "Actually, this kid is very stupid, so stupid that you don't need to lie to him at all, what's the harm in telling him his identity directly? Even as long as you say a word, he is still willing to go to the soup for you, and even die for you, isn't it?"

I have to say that Gao Changgong has a deep understanding of Qin Ke, so he also understands what kind of person Qin Ke is who values love and righteousness, although he will be a little weak and even cowardly on weekdays, but under these appearances, he attaches great importance to everyone who is related to him.

These include Abu, Loulou, Xiaoqian, Zhang Fu, and Cai Yan...... Even including Kuang Tie, who had only just met, and Luo Fengxiao, who had almost killed him repeatedly, as long as he could, he wanted to do his part to keep them out of harm's way.

But Zhuge Wanling has a different view on this.

"Herein lies the problem. Zhuge Wanling's gaze was far away, as if penetrating the street, looking into an unknowable distance, "If he always lives only for others, then he will never be able to get rid of the shadow behind him, and he will not be able to become a completely independent person, and if he goes down such a path, not to mention that he can't become a second self, perhaps, he will slowly become a martyr full of self-destruction." ”

After a pause, he suddenly closed his eyes and said in a serious tone, "Besides, I don't want him to be a ...... The second me, because he should have been able to do more, not just in the world that those of us had drawn for him, but ...... Like an eagle, it can spread its wings and fly high. ”

"But I've been to the prairie, and I've seen many young eagles fall into the abyss because they're chasing that sky. Gao Changgong hooked the corners of his lips, and seemed to have some mockery in his tone: "And in my opinion, you yourself are more like the one in your mouth, full of self-destructive ** martyrs, and even I doubt that one day if you lose your goal, will you immediately take a piece of white silk and hang yourself on the beam of the palace hall." ”

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" Just as the street was about to come galloping, a rider wearing armor and struck the horse in the abdomen with his legs.

The people were also angry, but when they heard the urgent report from the army, they fell silent again, and some began to mumble, and began to wonder why the official was so anxious, and whether something big was going to happen.

Gao Changgong stood in place, squinting slightly at the approaching riders, and did not make way to the side, and even put his feet on the stirrups without moving.

And the rider seemed to have spotted the two people in front of him in the process of galloping on the horse, although Gao Changgong's face was a little camouflaged, but how could the red fire war horse be recognized by the rider in the army at a glance.

Seeing that the rider was only ten steps away from Gao Changgong and Zhuge Wanling, I was afraid that he would collide head-on in a breath, but the rider's riding skills were far stronger than others thought, so he just raised his hand and pulled the reins suddenly, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and forcibly stopped the running war horse.

After dismounting, the rider almost did not hesitate to kneel on the ground and clench his fists, and in front of the two of them, he said in a soldier's thick and rigid voice: "General! ”

Gao Changgong took the letter that was supposed to be sent to Nanyang, and after a few glances, a flash of sharpness flashed in his eyes.

He turned to Zhuge Wanling beside him and said: "I said before that Sun Tong is a bastard, but it's a pity that Sun Ji'an has always refused to send Sun Tong to prison for the ridiculous face of the Sun family, and now it seems that it is all retribution." ”

"Go down and tell General Zhu that I will return to the camp as soon as possible. ”

"Yes!"
