Chapter 1049: Painful and Difficult to Remember (I)
"That's right, I have wanted to be a hero since I was a child, expel tyranny and save the ......world," Xiao Tian responded slowly, and then said solemnly to Zhu Yuanzhang, "But if the so-called 'hero' is a plan to exchange for the interests of the overall situation regardless of the sacrifice of the subsections, I would rather be a flesh-and-blood 'hero' who cherishes emotions than a cold-blooded and ruthless 'hero' who kills people without blinking!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's ears echoed—especially Zhu Yuanzhang, who suddenly threw a surprised gaze at Xiao Tian. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xiao Tian looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with resolute eyes, as if telling the other party that no matter what the trend is, he will never change his beliefs......
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and looked at Xiao Tian, who was surrounded by all the troops, in front of him was the heroic glory of himself, and behind him was the unknown hazy distance, as if he was standing at the threshold of choice. Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down and slowly asked Xiao Tian: "It seems that no matter what I say, I can't change Qing's mind...... I won't say anything else, but just ask one thing - stay by my side and achieve heroic hegemony, or leave me and hide from the world......"
Xiao Tian knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's reluctance and retention of himself was the last choice for himself. But Xiao Tian's own heart will not waver, and no one can change the will that has been decided.
Surrounded by the sharp blades of the cold soldiers, Xiao Tian didn't say a word, but just conveyed his heart to Zhu Yuanzhang with his eyes. Finally, Xiao Tian, who was "iron", turned around without saying a word, took off his general's helmet, and walked slowly in the direction where Su Jia and the others left.
Zhu Yuanzhang understood that Xiao Tian's decision finally chose to leave him......
After Xiao Tian turned around, he never looked back, facing the anxious eyes of the crowd, and the sharp edges of thousands of faces, he slowly walked down the mountain until his back gradually disappeared into the distance.
"Brother Xiao ......" watched Xiao Tian leave all the way, Tang Zhan sighed with emotion behind him, and there was an indescribable pain in his heart, which pressed on his heart like a boulder.
Lu Jing is the same, but compared to Tang Zhan, she has more regrets in her heart.
And those many soldiers who had been born and died with Xiao Tian looked at Xiao Tian from afar, their expressions were inexplicably mixed with pain and sadness, obviously they did not disobey the military order, but there was an indescribable pain in their hearts.
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was even more dead, now that Tongguan was about to win, all the plans were successful, but he couldn't be happy. Especially at the moment when Xiao Tian left, for some reason, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, it seemed that it would be difficult to see each other again in this life - Xiao Tian was the real hero he had met in his life, but now the heroes did not cherish each other, but became separated......
"Your Majesty—" Finally, Xu Da squeaked on the side, pulled back Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts, and asked for an order, saying, "Now that the 'Tongguan Frontier Defense Map' is back in the hands of our army, and the battle of Tongguan is winning at present, please also ask the emperor to immediately transfer troops back to the camp and seek a final general offensive strategy! Although General Xiao and Imperial Envoy Su left the army, they should not miss the military aircraft because of personal considerations-"
There is no need for Xu Da to say this, Zhu Yuanzhang also knows - maybe he has already calculated this day, Xiao Tian has no conspiration with him and left him. And the most important task at the moment is to focus on the battle situation, and I need to take care of my feelings and turn the decision on the affairs of the army.
And now Zhu Yuanzhang's only scruples are Lu Jing, who knows the truth of all this - Xiao Tian, who has been retained in every possible way, is gone, but Lu Jing, who is riddled with tumors, is still there, and the battle of Tongguan has not completely eradicated his henchmen, and Zhu Yuanzhang does not seem to intend to let Lu Jing go like this.
And Lu Jing is the same, today's "piercing the skylight" will inevitably become a thorn in Zhu Yuanzhang's side, even if he clearly wants to put himself to death, Zhu Yuanzhang will do it.
For this reason, Lu Jing seemed to be ready to make a bold decision, and with a look in her eyes, she was ready to return to the camp with the army......
"Collect the troops-" Finally, the "Amber Hill Turmoil" was calmed, and Chang Yuchun gave an order, and the whole army withdrew from the valley and left this land of right and wrong.
Tang Zhan and Lu Jing were no exception, and they followed the troops back to the base camp first......
After dawn, at the foot of the mountain, Zhu Yuanzhang convened all the army commanders to prepare to discuss the general attack strategy. However, the generals of all subordinates were almost there, but Tang Zhan and Lu Jing were nowhere to be seen, and they didn't know where they were at this time......
At the camp of the vanguard military headquarters, Lu Jing was packing up her things in the tent alone, as if she was about to leave, her expression was a little hurried, and she was not even Tang Zhan by her side.
However, although she was in a hurry, Lu Jing was not flustered at all, it seemed that she had already decided to act early this morning......
"Sister Su and Brother Xiao are gone, and I can't continue to stay here with the fool......" Lu Jing said secretly in her heart while packing her package, "After the battle in Tongguan, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely not let me and the fool go, and sooner or later he will find opportunities and excuses to wipe me and the fool to death...... I'm sorry fool for not being able to fully fulfill your wishes, because I don't want you to die. Although you have always cherished the ideals and ambitions of saving the people, the reality is often dark and unforgiving...... The merit is high, the dictatorship is different, and the political struggle is always much more sinister than the rivers and lakes, this is not something I can change, and it is not a fool you can change it......"
Saying that, Lu Jing's expression revealed despair and contradiction, never thought that in the past, he was full of blood, but now he fell apart and fled the wilderness, and he couldn't say whose fault it was.
Packing up the package, Lu Jing touched the ornaments on her waist to see if there was anything missing in the end. However, inadvertently, Lu Jing touched something inexplicably, and when she picked it up, it was a red embroidery.
Lu Jing suddenly felt hurt, because this piece of embroidery was nothing else, it was the talisman that Linglong gave to herself to keep her safe before her death. And this piece of weaving and embroidery, Lu Jing was also divided into four parts, which were given to Tang Zhan, Xiao Tian and Su Jia, indicating that in the troubled times, the four of them took care of each other and shared difficulties.
On the night Su Jia woke up, Lu Jing still remembered the oath in front of Weaving and Embroidery......
(in recall)......
"I didn't expect that Zheng Yuhua to be so powerful, even Sister Su, you are not an opponent......" Lu Jing remembered the cause and effect of the matter, and said slowly in a low voice, "Originally, as the envoy of our army, we jointly crusaded against Chen Shijin, but now we have become our enemy......"
"Well......" Speaking of Zheng Yuhua, Su Jia's heart hurt again, frowning on the side, and her heart was desperate.
"Still, don't mention this again......" Xiao Tian looked sad from the side, and said sadly.
"But no matter what, at least Sister Su, you don't have to worry about your life, and it can be regarded as a catastrophe that won't die......" Lu Jing thought about it, then took out a red brocade from her waist and split it into four parts, as if she had other intentions.
"Jing'er, what are you doing here?" Tang Zhan looked at the embroidery in Lu Jing's hand and couldn't help asking.
Lu Jing seemed to remember the sad past, and said in a sad tone: "This piece of weaving and embroidery was hand-sewn and given to me by Linglong before her death, and I wish me peace in foreign affairs...... Linglong is no longer alive, but I still carry this embroidery with me......"
Listening to Lu Jing talk about her deceased sisters, everyone's hearts were sad.
"Although the deceased is gone, but the hearts are safe, I believe that the exquisite spirit in the sky will always pin their thoughts on this embroidery, ......pray for me," Lu Jing touched the scene and said, "The war is devastated, nine deaths and one life, I don't know which day, the people around us will leave us one by one...... We have also experienced it personally - Zhao Zichuan, Yuru sister-in-law, Nangong Jun, Murong Fei, they passed away one by one in front of our eyes, but we regretted it......"
When it comes to the dead Zhao Zichuan and others, everyone's eyes are sad for a moment - the wounded relatives and relatives caused by the war, and the battle of Bianliang are unforgettable grief for everyone in this life......
"Don't talk about the fool...... Sister Su, Brother Xiao, you two are my best friends in this life, I don't want to look at you anymore, like Brother Zichuan and Linglong, leaving in front of my eyes......" Lu Jing was full of affection, distributed the four pieces of embroidery in her hand to everyone, and said slowly, "I divided the embroidery that Linglong gave me into four parts, and the four of us each took one copy - this embroidery represents peace, I hope that no matter how many ups and downs in the future, or fate is separated and separated, the four of us can be safe and secure and get through every difficulty together......"
Lu Jing, who likes to joke on weekdays, today is a rare concern for her true feelings in her life. Maybe seeing Su Jia's situation and thinking of the deceased Zhao Zichuan and Linglong and others, Lu Jing felt silently in her heart.
The three of them took the embroidery in their hands, and together with Lu Jing, silently made an oath and concern in their hearts.
After Xiao Tian took over the embroidery, he smiled calmly and said: "Ah, don't worry, Sister Jing, no matter how many ups and downs there are in this life, how many twists and turns we encounter, we can get through every level safely, and use this fabric as proof!"
Tang Zhan even pinned the embroidery to his waist and used the amulet he carried with him......
(In reality)......
No matter how many ups and downs there are in the future, or the separation and reunion of fate, the four of them can be safe and secure and get through every difficulty together - the unforgettable vow is unforgettable, but now that I think about it, it only adds a layer of sadness.
Su Jia is gone, Xiao Tian is also gone, and now he and Tang Zhan are also leaving, this oath is like a sad joke, blowing to the edge of nowhere with the wind of fate. Lu Jing didn't know if even if she still adhered to this belief, would she still have a chance to reunite the four of them safely in the future......
"Sister Su...... Brother Xiao ......" Lu Jing said a few words in sadness, then picked up the package in his hand, and prepared to leave the camp tent to find Tang Zhan......
And at this moment, on another barren hill on the border of Tongguan, under the endless wind and dust, Su Jia and his fellow disciples buried Chen Shijin's body here. In the middle of the barren hill, there is a dead tree standing in it, devastated by the wind and sand, like an old man who is about to die, and it seems to slowly tell the endless sorrow under the vicissitudes of life, adding a little sorrow and sigh......
The tomb stands in front, as long as the five big characters of "Chen Shijin's tomb" are on the stone tablet, Su Jia and Xu Shuang and others are full of sadness and mourning in front of the tomb, but they can't see Xiao Tian's figure, and they don't know where they are at the moment......
"Senior Brother Chen...... Woo woo...... "Xu Shuang has been crying, from Huqiu to here, to burying Chen Shijin's body, and has never stopped, "You have always hoped that I can become like Senior Sister Yiyao...... Practicing the 'Nine Swords of Chasing the Wind'...... I'm successful now, but you're gone...... I didn't even have time to look at it...... Woohoo......"
The endless grief is cold, invading the hearts of everyone, but the pain is unbearable and lingering. Not only Xu Shuang, but also Wu Xian and Lu Tao after learning the truth, also showed sad faces in front of the tomb.
"Senior Brother Chen, for the sake of the people of the world, you have been ruined and endured for three years, but in the end you ended up like this...... It's so unfair, why is fate so unfair, why?—" Wu Xian was even emotional, with a tone of indignation in his sadness.
"It's all my ......" However, Su Jia had a loveless expression on her face, and said tremblingly, "It was I who killed Senior Brother Chen with my own hands, and I killed him...... I once killed Sister Xiaohong, and now I have killed Senior Brother Chen...... What the hell have I done, what have I done......" As she spoke, Su Jia's pupils trembled as she looked at her hands—her own hands, which she thought were stained with innocent blood.
Mentioning Hongyun's death again, Zheng Yuhua on the side felt heartache again, but he knew that behind the root of all this pain, it was not Su Jia's fault. Zheng Yuhua patted Su Jia's shoulder and slowly comforted: "Little junior sister, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault...... Before knowing the truth, whoever else wants to kill him with his own hands......"
"Woo woo......" Su Jia didn't speak again, after all, she was tormented by fate and lies, and couldn't bear the blows one after another - especially Chen Shijin's death, her determination to take revenge for three years, but in the end it was a sad joke, like being tortured and teased by fate, it was like a great cruelty to life.
"In short, after returning to the Wind Chasing Sect, we will summon the world, Chen Shijin's true identity ......" Zheng Yuhua tried to change the topic, comforting and firm, "Chen Shijin is a hero, we can't let him die on the charge of misunderstanding-"
"Sister Yiyao, don't be too sad......" Lu Tao was on the side, and also comforted his senior sister, "Senior Brother Zheng is right, all this is not your fault......
Su Jia eased for a long time before calming down her emotions a little, looking at the grave with red eyes, and the endless pain hit her heart, making herself suffocated but unable to vent. In the end, all that remains in my heart is sadness and decline, and the shackles of fate that cannot be shaken off no matter what......
"The battle in Tongguan is over, our task has been completed, although the ending is sad, but we also have to go back......" Zheng Yuhua, as a senior brother, was still responsible for the affairs of the division, calmed down and said to Su Jia, "Little junior sister, we can't stay with you, and you naturally can't go back with us, how you go next depends on your own ......"
Su Jia, who gradually calmed down, also responded coldly with an expressionless face: "I know, on the way back, you have to be careful yourself...... If we have the chance, I hope we can see each other again, but it will probably be when Mo Tianxing and I settle our grievances......"
"Senior Sister Yi Yao......" Seeing that Chen Shijin's fate was over, Su Jia was still thinking about her grievances with Mo Tianxing, afraid that the same tragedy might happen again, Xu Shuang couldn't help but tremble.
"I will take care of the little shuang, little sister, don't worry......" Zheng Yuhua said in agreement.
"And-" Su Jia seemed to emphasize something, and reminded him in particular, "Senior Brother Zheng, the grievances between you and Mo Tianxing are better to let go for the time being...... Tongguan and my entourage fought to the death with you and Senior Brother Chen several times with Senior Brother Zheng, and I think the eyeliner sent by Mo Tianxing to follow should also be clear about our every move - I am afraid that Senior Brother Zheng you are too revealing and may expose your true life experience, if Mo Tianxing knows that you are the orphan of Xiangyang back then, I am afraid it will ......"
"I know, I know this ......in my heart," mentioned Mo Tianxing's matter, Zheng Yuhua responded cautiously......
