Chapter 969: Memories of the Dead (Part II)
The night is silent, and the cold wind kills ......
At the "old site" of the pioneer barracks, there is a mess of dead wood, and the camp that was broken by Sima Hanyi's army a few days ago is now only a few ruins, which is a pity. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The wreckage of the fire was burned, the stables were toppled, and the flags were empty in the middle of the school yard. Regardless of the Ming and Yuan armies, they could no longer look at their land, leaving a few surviving war horses, deserted and broken camps, neighing and wailing......
However, in the silence, suddenly a shadow flashed and came to the empty "ruins" camp......
"The barracks have been destroyed...... the person who inexplicably came to the "old site" was actually Su Jia - after leaving Anyin Village, he went straight back to the barracks, but Xiao Tian was not by his side, only Su Jia was alone.
"Sister Jing's guess is really right......" Su Jia, who seemed to know the truth, looked at the empty ruins in front of her, and whispered secretly, "Brother Qin, they were defeated in Xu Valley, Ah Tian and I unfortunately disappeared, and the military camp was really attacked...... If that's the case, Sister Jing and Big Brother Tang Zhan should also ......"
There is a hidden worry in the decision, and it seems that the "defeat" in front of us is expected, but there is no way.
"I hope that Sister Jing's strategy can really turn the crisis around......" Su Jia was secretly worried in her heart, and continued to whisper, "And Ah Tian, you must ...... Don't ...... anything."
The most worried thing in my heart was really Xiao Tian, but after leaving "Anyin Village", what decision did Xiao Su and the others make, it seems that it happened not long ago......
(in recall)......
Leaving the "Anyin Village", Xiao Tian and Su Jia walked to Xinggu to prepare for the next step. In front of Fang Yuan's tombstone, the two of them had already made up their minds to swear that they would raise troops to fight and take Tongguan, so that the people of "Anyin Village" would no longer be harassed by the imperial court.
After leaving the village, the two had no news of each other's army, and the only clue was the "clever plan" that Lu Jing left to Xiao Tian before Xu Gu separated......
"Sister Jing's plan is all written in the bag, isn't it......" Coming out of the village, after reading the content of the bag, Su Jia couldn't wait, pointed to the bag in Xiao Tian's hand and asked, "Sister Jing, she is so sure...... Predict what's going to happen in a few days?"
"Now I can only choose to believe her......" Xiao Tian nodded, secretly trusting the decision, and said with a calm expression, "I wanted to tell Jia'er earlier, but you were in a state of uncertainty a few days ago, so it's inconvenient to say...... It's still too late, and what we're going to do is already being told to us - although we have to admit that it's a risky ......"
"But if it is really carried out according to what is written, then Ah Tian, aren't you ......" Su Jia seemed to be particularly unable to let go of anything, and asked worriedly.
"It's not just me, Jia'er, Brother Tang Zhan, and Sister Jing, we will all face a dangerous bet......" Xiao Tian said with firm eyes and no fear, "And it just so happened that Sima Hanyi gave me a 'war letter', and I happened to go to the Qingying Valley to make a break with him!"
"Ah Tian, you have to be careful...... Thinking of Sima Hanyi, Su Jia said uneasily, "That old guy is scheming, and the disciples of the Spirit Shadow Sect under him are tricky and dangerous, counting the time on the cliff, you have already suffered him twice...... This time he let you go alone, and took Xiaoshuang and them hostage, I'm afraid ......"
"Don't worry, I will definitely defeat Sima Hanyi and save Xiaoshuang and them-" Xiao Tian solemnly swore in front of Su Jia, "Jia'er, believe me, I can do it!" After speaking, he cast a resolute and determined gaze at Su Jia.
"I believe you ......" Su Jia was silent for a while, and finally agreed. But to be honest, she still has no bottom in her own heart, Xiao Tian must be extremely dangerous when he goes to the Green Underworld Valley this time.
"There is also the task that Sister Jing gave you......" Xiao Tian turned his back and said secretly, "Maybe this is the best opportunity to break with Chen Shijin and settle the grievances that have entangled you for a long time...... In your current state......
"Ah, now that I am able to put my mind right and face up to my past...... Su Jia, who "woke up" from the confusion, clenched her fists and smiled firmly, "Facing Chen Shijin, I know how to deal with ......"
"That's good......" Xiao Tian made up his mind, not only for Su Jia, but also for himself, and walked to prepare to leave, "I'm going to save Xiaoshuang and them...... Jia'er, this time the grievance is over, I'm not around, it's really just you......"
"I know...... This time, I will definitely defeat the past and defeat fate!" Su Jia said resolutely, and she had already made up her mind.
Xiao Tian nodded, then turned to leave......
Su Jia firmly believes in herself, but she still cares about Xiao Tian - she knows that this time forward, Xiao Tian will face Sima Hanyi alone, and the most dangerous hurdle in her life......
(In reality)......
"Ah Tian, you must be careful......" Thinking of the instructions before the separation, Su Jia was at peace in her heart......
Back in front of her, Su Jia still had her own task, rushing back to the "old site" of the military camp overnight, rearmament and pre-dispatch, it seems that the secret affairs are currently at the moment.
Walking to a ruined horse shed, looking at the war horse that could still be controlled, Su Jia untied the leash and rode up.
Yulin lion armor, cold sword Lingmang, Su Jia's hair is tightly tied to the helmet, and the spirit of women reappears, and the majesty of it will come again.
"Driving-" shouted the order, galloped on the horse, Su Jia flew away, and disappeared into the dark night mountain forest......
At this moment, on the top of Qigu Mountain, the duel between Tang Zhan and Tong Chen is not over......
The duel between the two was deadlocked, but in the two rounds of "reckless impact" just now, Tong Chen was impatient and fell to the ground injured, suffering a small loss......
Tong Chen stood up again, staring at Tang Zhan, as if he wanted to make the next round of charge, "Come again......"
But this time, Lu Jing once again "blocked" the duel......
"Stop-" Lu Jing suddenly ran between Tang Zhan and Tong Chen to stop the two from continuing to fight.
"Jing'er ......" Seeing that Lu Jing came in danger again, Tang Zhan said with a little worry.
"What do you want to do......" Tong Chen couldn't help but ask when he saw Lu Jing "obstructing" again.
"Don't fight again......" Lu Jing began to worry about Tong Chen this time, "I know, you can't let go of the past in your heart, and you can't let go of your dead fiancée...... You're not a cold-blooded person, and you don't really care about your friends, but now you're betraying yourself and fighting fools to the death, and there will be no good endings......"
"I don't have any friends...... I said it, I didn't!-" Tong Chen was gradually enraged by his emotions, and waved his gun at Lu Jing and said, "You get out of the way, and if you stand in front of me again, I will kill you together!"
"You really ...... Can you do it?" Lu Jing seemed to have made a bet on his mind, and said calmly, "If you really let go, just do it and see if you can really do it......"
"Jing'er ......" Seeing that Lu Jing actually said such dangerous words, Tang Zhan was shocked and worried behind him......
"Forehead......" Tong Chen stopped for a while, seeing Lu Jing's resolute gaze in front of him, the cold gun in his hand trembled faintly.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, Lu Jing stood in front of Tang Zhan, but Tang Zhan was disturbed, and Tong Chen was worried in front of the gun, and he couldn't move his hand for a long time - this also proved what Lu Jing said, Tong Chen couldn't let go of the past, and seeing himself was like seeing a dead lover......
Cold sweat dripped down, hanging down his wrist, Tong Chen's hand trembled unconsciously, the spear trembled more and more, and the confusion in his heart was like a lingering shadow, separated by a gap.
Between the two eyes, his expression gradually declined, and the pain was accompanied by the blood pain all over his body, Tong Chen seemed to be in purgatory at this moment - what he was tormenting was not the physical pain, but the inner strangulation, in the face of the sinister enemy, Tong Chen never gave in, but today in the face of the defenseless Lu Jing, he began to "chill"......
"You really still can't get started...... Lu Jing's expression gradually calmed down, and she said in a low voice, "You have a knot in your heart that you can't let go, someone you can't forget, although you say that you don't have friends, it's not that you don't care about the people who are important to you......"
"I don't have any friends...... I don't have any friends......" Tong Chen still stubbornly looked at him, clenched the cold gun and said, "For me, there was only pain in the past...... I don't have anyone I miss, and I don't need to talk to anyone about anything-" said this, but it could be seen that Tong Chen was deliberately concealing and concealing that seemingly unbearable memory.
"You still don't dare to face ......" Seeing this, Lu Jing couldn't help but be slightly disappointed.
"Jing'er ......" However, Tang Zhan patted Lu Jing's shoulder at this time, and said slowly, "Let me come......"
"Stupid?" Lu Jing looked back, looking at Tang Zhan's established eyes, and his heart was inexplicable.
"You always stand up suddenly, he will be distracted......" Tang Zhan smiled at Lu Jing, then looked directly at Tong Chen and said, "His opponent tonight is me, whether it is said or done, only I can make him lift his spirits-"
Seeing that Tang Zhan suddenly spoke inexplicably, Tong Chen's eyes were slightly certain.
Tang Zhan waved his hand, motioned for Lu Jing to stand back to the side, and then smiled at Tong Chen: "Hmph, they are also the queen of the family, tonight's fateful duel, I thought that the person who was my opponent was really a hero...... 'One of the three masters of the Western Regions', but he didn't even dare to face his past, it really disappointed me......" In his tone, Tang Zhan deliberately showed a few "contempt".
"What did you say?" Hearing the taunt of his opponent, Tong Chen's expression was slightly displeased, and he asked in a raised voice.
"Am I wrong?" Tang Zhan had no intention of stopping, and continued to chuckle, "I am really disappointed to keep saying that I have been crisscrossing the Western Regions for more than ten years, and I have won countless masters, and I have such a world-shattering history, but I can't even talk about my past......"
"You say it's hard for me to talk about the past?" Tong Chen listened, his heart became more and more painful, and at the same time, he also felt angry.
"Isn't it? I have experienced strong winds and waves, but I don't dare to face my past, how can I be a hero-" Tang Zhan put the pear flower spear aside, and said righteously, "Tell you, my Tang family's life experience is shocking, but I never run away!"
Tang Zhan seemed to be talking about his past, and Tong Chen couldn't help but mention a little spirit. And Lu Jing also knew what Tang Zhan wanted to say, and couldn't help but cast a slightly complicated gaze.
Tang Zhan looked calm, and said seriously: "My father is Tang Tianhui, in order to seek glory and wealth, he colluded with the Mengyuan court to deceive teachers and destroy ancestors, and everyone in the world spurned him...... After my father died, Uncle Xiaofeng raised me as an adult, and after I left my uncle to enter the world, I was often asked about my father's life experience...... Indeed, at first, I was afraid to face my fate and the past, and concealed my life experience in front of the world, but now I have experienced several times and endured countless hardships, and I have even waved the rebel army to crusade against Meng Yuan, not only to redeem the sins of my father, but also to save the people of the world from danger——"
Tong Chen listened word by word, and his heart was faintly moved.
"Brother Zichuan told me before his death, no matter what my father did, what the fate of the past was, I am myself now, I don't need to escape the darkness of the past, I have the ability to change my fate and change everything!" Tang Zhan said excitedly, and gradually clenched his fists and said, "Even if I endure the vulgar eyes of the world, I will unswervingly go on and fight against fate to the end until I can change and defeat it!"
Speaking of the deceased Zhao Zichuan, Lu Jing's eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of sad nostalgia......
And Tong Chen listened to Tang Zhan's "strong words", and his heart suddenly boiled with blood......
"But tonight's fateful battle really disappointed me......" Tang Zhan continued to return the topic to Tong Chen, deliberately sneering, "I didn't expect the descendants of the Tong family to encounter difficulties, but they didn't dare to speak as bluntly as me...... Wasting my expectations for tonight's duel, let's let this end soon-" After speaking, Tang Zhan picked up the pear flower spear again, and seemed to be about to attack first.
The Dao power shook wildly, and he struck a blow - the "Soul Seeking Spear" slashed out, and Tang Zhan was sure that the attack power of his whole body was rushing towards Tong Chen.
And Tong Chen was still immersed in Tang Zhan's "words" and did not come back to his senses, and when he reacted, it was too late to fight back with a gun......
The "Soul Scattering Gun" had not yet gathered enough internal strength, and the "Soul Seeking Gun" in the middle of the blow was categorical, Tong Chen's protective force could not resist it, and he was knocked away by Tang Zhan's "Divine Spear".
"Uhhh
After Tang Zhan made a move to defeat the enemy, he did not kill them all. And Tong Chen did not completely lose his fighting spirit, but he fell to the ground and looked up, as if he had a faint pain in his heart, and at that moment he seemed to think of something, and his expression seemed a little hesitant and confused......
Under the Qi Valley, the fire that was burned by the Tang Zhan camp before was still burning. The firelight mapped, illuminating the peak, Tong Chen lay on the ground, feeling the rolling heat wave around him, and a vague but familiar picture flashed in his mind.
This scene seems very familiar - he is lying on the ground, surrounded by firelight, confused and lost, and his heart is extremely desperate and painful......
"The same ......" Suddenly, the corner of Tong Chen's mouth faintly said.
"Huh?" Tang Zhan and Lu Jing heard it and said suspiciously.
"It's the same ......as that day," Tong Chen showed a dull gaze and continued to say sadly, "There was a sea of fire in the city that day, and I couldn't protect the Tong family and save Yi'er...... The rebels attacked the city, and the fire burned for two days and two nights, and I fell in the ruins, but I could only helplessly look at the remnants of the city......"
Hearing "Yi'er", Lu Jing knew that Tong Chen was talking about his past lover - Tong Chen was finally willing to speak, Lu Jing glanced at Tang Zhan, and the two quietly listened to Tong Chen's sad past......
