Chapter 43: Heartbeat
Xie Ci did not disappoint Gu Wan.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the heavy rain hit the hard black iron armor with a crackling sound, splashing water.
The rain was so intense that we couldn't open our eyes, and the fierce battle at Malian Crossing had lasted for a day and a night.
From overcast skies to torrential rain, from twilight battles to full daybreak, the fierce Northern Rong cavalry once broke through Malian Pass and surged in from the river valley. Before parting ways with them, Kou Wenshao said, "Leave Malian Pass to me. You must hold off the Northern Rong soldiers and then find a way to return to Yizhou!"
Kou Wenshao led his troops to block the Malian Pass, but the danger behind him had just begun.
A large and powerful group of Northern Rong cavalry, as well as Liangzhou Governor Cao Zhao and Chenzhou Governor Yan Zongze.
Xizhou Governor Li Ping and Kou Wenshao went to the front together. Before leaving, Li Ping also sent an urgent message to Cao Zhao and Yan Zongze, "I leave this place to you!"
The former trusted general turned against him one day and his face became even more ferocious than Lu Xinyi and others.
Cao Zhao was responsible for covering the rear for Kou Wenshao and Li Ping, and attacking together with Yan Zongze, Qin Guan and others in the rear in an attempt to wipe out the large group of Northern Rong cavalry that broke through the pass.
The Northern Rong cavalry charged forward, using offense as defense. Their front lines swept across the enemy lines. Yan Zongze and Cao Zhaoze quickly adjusted their positions, fiercely sending the Lingzhou and Yunzhou troops, where Xie Ci was, to the front, facing the Northern Rong cavalry and firmly blocking their retreat.
But the "thank you" was Chen Huan. Qinguanwei Zhen Chen Lang was protecting him tightly. The Beirong cavalry were as fierce as wolves. After realizing that the Malian Road crossing was gradually blocked, they suddenly became crazy, and the rear was blocked tightly.
Chen Lang cursed: "You fucking bastard! I'll kill your whole family—"
The group led their troops to charge left and right with all their might, but were finally blocked in a fork on the east side of the Malian Road. They engaged in close combat with the Beirong soldiers, but their rear was still blocked. The heavy rain crackled, blood splattered, and the chaotic sound of horses' hooves mixed together.
"what to do?"
Seeing that Qin Guan and the others ahead were trapped in a corner, Chen Huang became very anxious. Xie Ci's mind raced: "We should make a feint to the east and attack in the west."
They led their troops to charge twice, but were both repelled by the Chenzhou army which was well prepared.
This can't go on!
The rain soaked the helmet and armor, and splashed on the scattered weeds on the ground and the branches and leaves of the trees on the foothills, making a deafening sound.
Such weather has greatly constrained them, but it has also provided convenience. Everything has its pros and cons.
Xie Ci came up with an idea in an instant. He immediately ordered his troops to split into two groups. The main force continued to charge, while another group of people and horses were sent to go around the mountain.
The entire battlefield was constantly changing, and during the sprint, it was pushed to the edge of the foothills. Taking advantage of the cover of heavy rain, Xie Ci, who had been prepared, personally led his troops into the foothills.
They could finally see Qin Guan and his men. In the melee, Qin Guan and his men had been pushed to the front of the Beirong cavalry. Qin Guan and his men were furious and gathered in a group. They were fighting in a stalemate in the form of a fish-scale formation. The brothers Qin Guan and Qin Yong were covered in blood, shouting angrily, and charging to the front!
It surged with anger and violence, and its lethality soared, but if the thanks were delayed for a moment, it would probably take a sharp turn for the worse after the peak.
In the melee, Chen Lang cursed loudly, "You fucking bastard! Northern Rong bandit, die--" He was killing and cursing in a panic while looking around. Suddenly, he saw the branches of a big tree on the top of the mountain on the left shook violently.
Chen Lang's heart moved.
Immediately afterwards, a fierce shout was heard, and a large group of Wei cavalry suddenly came down from the hillside!
Gravel and long grass were laid along the road in advance, and a temporary ditch was dug on the top of the hill to intercept and drain water. The war horses galloped down from above, barely avoiding slipping of their horseshoes. Finally, they pulled the reins and rushed down from the foot of the mountain first.
This cavalry rushed in between the Chenzhou soldiers and the Beirong soldiers. They were caught off guard and saw chaos. Wei Zhen was overjoyed: "It's the Fourth Young Master..."
"Yes!" Qin Guan's eyes lit up with joy, and he immediately shouted, "Quick, let's go!"
Chen Huang in the rear seized the opportunity and launched another sprint.
The three parties attacked at the same time in tacit understanding, fighting for nearly a quarter of an hour, and finally succeeded in reuniting.
Qin Guan, Chen Huan and others were successfully rescued.
"To the left!" Xie Ci said coldly: "Push it out——"
At this moment, he was strikingly similar to his father, with a deep and solemn voice and brows as gloomy as the abyss. The battle situation changed in an instant, and his orders were as swift as arrows.
To the left is where Yan Zongze is.
Yan Zongze was too impatient and personally commanded his troops to push the Northern Rong to intercept and kill "Xie Ci". The situation on the battlefield changed abruptly and his position was highlighted. Xie Ci coldly ordered to push him out.
Qin Guanwei Zhen and Chen Lang's voices suddenly rose: "Yes, Fourth Young Master——"
This damn dog!
The three parties worked together to kill and push forward continuously. Under the surging tide of battle, they soon pushed Yan Zongze's troops to the front!
By then, the Malian Crossing had finally been successfully blocked. Shouts and cries of battle rang out from the front, and the Northern Rong cavalry, having broken through the barrier, erupted in furious fighting. At the forefront was Hamuza, one of Huyan De's ten wolf generals and tiger division commanders. He fought furiously in the torrential rain. Yan Zongze, pushed forward, was immediately spotted by Hamuza. Hastily engaging, Yan Zongze fought back, and after about thirty rounds, was slashed in two by Hamuza's scimitar, a deep cut across his face and throat.
The guards screamed in pain, Yan Zongze's eyes were frozen with horror, blood gushing out, and he fell off his horse in despair.
"Okay, let's get going."
Amid the sounds of battle, Qin Guan said loudly to them, "If we take care of Malian Crossing, we will most likely head to the main battlefield."
Judging from the time, Qin Xian's army has almost taken their positions, and the battle of Qingshui River Valley is about to begin.
Guiyizhou is of vital importance!
“Hope everything goes well!”
After dealing with Yan Zongze, it would be difficult for the iron triangle of Li Ping and Cao Zhao to form again, and a pincer attack would be difficult to occur again. However, the Wei side could not be in chaos, and Qin Guan had to stay and quickly stabilize the position of the Chenzhou army.
This is the best time to thank them for rushing to Guiyi Prefecture.
Thank you and nod.
…
At this point, Xie Ci successfully resolved the crisis at Malian Road Crossing, and then rushed towards Guiyizhou at the fastest speed.
They first released a group of Beirong cavalry, then took advantage of the pursuit to escape, chased them all the way along the Malian Slope, killed the Beirong soldiers, and then sent one person to pretend to lead the team back and bring the infantry back by the way.
Chen Lang immediately said, "I'm not going back!"
Wei Zhen: "I'm not going either!"
The young generals were so excited that no one wanted to go back. Finally, Qin Guan and Chen Luo exchanged a glance, and Chen Luo said helplessly, "Okay, I'll go back then."
After Chen Luo returned with a small number of cavalry and infantry, the two sides separated, and Xie Ci immediately led his troops to march at full speed towards the northeast.
When the rain finally began to subside, they finally arrived near Guiyi Prefecture.
After walking another seventy or eighty miles along the hilly area at the foot of the mountain, you will reach Guiyi Prefecture.
At this time, everyone's nerves were tense. They stopped talking and sent out scouts to slow down.
Move forward with minimal speed and noise.
Xie Ci had been thinking about Gu Wan for a long time. There had been no news from her, and he was really worried about her.
In addition to being worried about the unclear situation in Guiyi Prefecture, he was also worried that Xun Xiao's extreme and inappropriate actions would implicate Gu Wan.
Thinking of Xun Xiao, the corners of his lips curled down.
At this time, they were already at a position almost the same distance between Malian Road Crossing and Qingshui River Valley. Looking south, they were heading towards the entrance of Qingshui River Valley.
They were passing along the foothills, the patter of rain making the loess road muddy. The Liangshui River flowed through the mountains, and the rainwater rushing down from the mountains rushed into the river, making it swollen and turbid.
At this moment, something unexpected happened!
Suddenly, the sentries hurried back. Before the cavalry could even reach them at full speed, Xie Ci and his men had already sensed the movement. Suddenly, looking up, they saw the rustling of leaves swaying in the trees ahead. Suddenly, from the quiet forest, a group of unarmored, mixed Han and Hu clothing, and armed with weapons, suddenly rushed out!
——These people, without a doubt, must be returning to Yizhou!
There were tens of thousands of them, rushing out from the riverside and the mountains. The ones at the front were the bravest and strongest young men in Guiyizhou. With a desperate and indomitable killing intention, they rushed straight to their own side to kill.
Both sides were actually caught off guard.
The people in Guiyizhou had been waiting silently for the opportunity to fight, but suddenly thousands of Wei cavalry appeared in front of them, with their horses' hooves trampling the mud. The Beirong people in Guiyizhou felt a sudden sinking of heart. Why did these Wei soldiers appear here?
But it doesn’t matter what the reason is, it must be resolved immediately!
The Beirong people were worried about the news leaking out, and they were even more anxious that it would affect the king's plan.
The leader Hu Yanhan's mind raced, and he immediately ordered He Yuan, the chief of Guiyizhou, to lead his troops to rush out and kill them immediately, and make sure to wipe them out completely!
——The dug river embankment is two miles away, and the hills beside the river have been dug to only a shallow line. However, this large-scale killing is aimed at the battlefield in the Qingshui River Valley. Not only is the location wrong, but even the Beirong people are unwilling to waste time here.
Chen Huang was very anxious: "Fourth Young Master, should we retreat?"
I never expected that Guiyizhou was already ready and waiting here.
This sudden change made everyone feel depressed.
Retreating further back, there is a wider area, which is convenient for cavalry charges.
Although Xie Ci now has only a few thousand people under his command, they are all elite cavalry who can fight ten enemies with one.
It's not impossible to fight hard after we set up our formation.
The sound of drizzling rain and the heavy atmosphere made things seem explosive.
But just as Chen Huang finished speaking, Xie Ci suddenly raised his hand to stop him: "No need!"
Xie Ci's mind raced: "Look, those Hu people are abnormally thin."
He had excellent eyesight and could quickly see the Hu people charging at the front. They were filled with indignant murderous intent and were willing to risk everything to find a way out for their people. However, these strongest men in Guiyizhou were all skinny.
Two years of starvation had made these men very thin, but it had not drained their bodies and fighting power. The Hu people inherited the fierce legacy of their ancestors and were extremely fierce and aggressive. As long as they were willing to fight, they would be a powerful fighting force. The timing carefully chosen by the Beirong was just right.
Xie Ci's eyes flickered, and his mind raced, "...slow down, we'll meet them."
Xie Ci was quick-witted and seemed to have figured out the reason for the rebellion in Guiyi Prefecture in a flash. He stared at Shao Qing intently and made a very bold decision. He sheathed his weapon, kicked his horse's belly, and instead of retreating, drove his horse forward.
Qin Guan, Chen Lang and others were stunned and hurriedly rode their horses to catch up.
The cavalry came slowly and did not retreat to an open area, but instead came forward to meet the enemy.
He Yuan was stunned.
But in a flash, from a distance, he saw a young face that seemed familiar.
With sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, he rode his horse straight and slowly. In an instant, the young general's face, especially his eyebrows and eyes, overlapped with that of the solemn and heroic general.
Blood ties are very strange.
And Xie Xinzhong is so unforgettable.
It is like ascetic believers who have given up their practice in the desert suddenly seeing the golden dome where they once lived.
These are honest men. If they hadn't been unable to live, and were not angry and sad, they would not have taken this path.
But in an instant, it struck their hearts.
"General, it's General Xie! General Xie——"
Suddenly, He Yuan and the others stopped in their tracks. The rain was drizzling and their eyes were suddenly filled with tears. They recognized Xie Xinzhong's son at once. For a moment, they were at a loss and tears streamed down their cheeks.
Qin Guan, Wei Zhen and the others exchanged a glance and rushed forward. They could see clearly that many of the people were obviously thin and almost skin and bones. They could not help but be stunned.
…
The matter of Guiyizhou was finally resolved on the spot.
The men of Guiyizhou were already suffering, and they left some survival supplies for the women and children with the determination to die.
After they rebelled, the women and children would leave Guiyi Prefecture and flee into the mountains. If all else failed, they would cross the Yin Mountains and trek back to the grasslands to survive.
Even if this process is probably only one in ten.
But they really had no other choice. They couldn't survive any longer. Many old people and children died in Guiyizhou last winter. All their hopes were placed on spring, but today was still like this!
They really have no other choice!
The men of Guiyizhou took risks, but that doesn't mean they weren't sad or suffering. This was the place where they had raised two or three generations of their family, and it was their hometown. If there was even a slight possibility, they would not take this path.
It can be said that Xie Ci's appearance immediately broke their inside line at a certain point. He burst into tears and knelt on the ground crying.
Xie Ci's forehead was stained with blood and his eyes were sharp. He immediately spotted the Beirong people among He Yuan and his group. The latter's face changed drastically and he immediately turned around and headed towards the river.
With a "swish", the slender knife was unsheathed, and Xie Ci killed the two Beirong people like lightning.
When He Yuan and his men saw this, they were stunned for a moment, then sat on the ground in a daze. After a while, He Yuan rolled over and got up, picked up his long knife and turned back with his men, and killed the remaining Beirong people at lightning speed.
This is to prevent them from revealing Xie Ci's identity secret.
He Yuan gripped the knife tightly, his fist tightening and unclenching. He didn't know how to explain that they didn't intend to rebel, they really didn't. But when he thought of his tribe, he...
This wave of finishing blows confirmed Xie Ci's guess. Everyone looked at each other and loosened their hands that had been tightly gripping their weapons and reins.
Xie Ci dismounted and helped He Yuan up: "Why are you doing this?"
He Yuan burst into tears, "We don't want to do this either! But the harvest has been bad these past few years, and we haven't had any harvest in two years! Since General Xie passed away, the state hasn't sent us any disaster relief food. The prey in the mountains is getting scarcer and scarcer, and our people can't even afford a single meal a day!"
Guiyi Prefecture is a mixed population of Qiang, Di, and Li Te, as well as mixed-race people of Hu, Han, and other ethnic groups. In fact, there were frictions in the past. Xie Xinzhong helped them eliminate barriers and engage in healthy competition, but the hard life in the past two years has truly brought them together as one.
Xie Ci clenched his fists, anger rising to his head.
The former Protector General of Shuofang was Zhao Heng, the same Zhao Heng who, like Qin Xian, was Xie Xinzhong's right-hand man. After Xie Xinzhong's death, Zhao Heng was filled with indignation and desperately wanted to overturn the Xie family's verdict. In the end... he followed Xie Xinzhong.
After Zhao Heng was deposed, Shuofang was divided into two. The protector of Gui and Bei states was Wang Quan, a close confidant of Zheng Shoufang, while the governor of Ningshuo state, Si Xin, was the brother-in-law of Lu Xinyi.
From then on, Guiyi Prefecture never received any relief grain. He Yuan sent people to the prefecture several times to ask for relief grain, but each time they were beaten and returned. The last time, someone was beaten to death. Only then did He Yuan give up the idea of asking for relief grain and take the risk.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you..."
He Yuan, a man in his forties, knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. He was too ashamed to face the apology, but he was also very sad. It was really too difficult to return to Yizhou.
For a moment, even Chen Lang was silent. The young man with peach blossom eyes lowered his head in silence, blinking hard. Damn! He said he didn't want to join the army anymore.
Qin Guan pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and whispered to Xie Ci, "There's still some food in Lingzhou's granaries, which can help Guiyizhou tide over the difficulties."
"good!"
Xie Ci took a deep breath and quickly helped He Yuan up. "Qin Guan will immediately send someone back to Lingzhou to arrange for the transportation of grain."
He said to He Yuan, "Go back immediately and wipe out the Northern Rong!"
He Yuan had originally planned to go back and get rid of the remaining Beirong people. Upon hearing this, he was overjoyed and fell to his knees like a candle stuck upside down. A large group of people cried with joy. He Yuan was extremely excited. With a "pop", he knelt on one knee and clasped his fists, with a solemn expression: "I am willing to return to Yizhou and obey the general's orders. I will not refuse even if it means death!"
"As long as I have an order, I will not refuse even if it means death—"
Everyone was extremely excited and spoke in unison.
They had no choice but to kill the Beirong people as soon as possible when they had no other choice. Rebellion was a once in a lifetime thing, so they decided to follow Xie Ci without hesitation.
Following their General Xie's son, they believed that this young general, who was indeed as decisive as his father, would be just like the unparalleled hero General Xie in their hearts.
This time, even if the road ahead ends in death, they are not afraid!
They don't want to experience those desperate things again.
They would rather follow Xie Ci to death!
…
Qin Guan, Chen Luo and others looked at each other and let out a long sigh.
The issue of returning to Yizhou was successfully resolved.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and finally smiled.
Qin Guan immediately turned around and told someone to go back and tell Dou Wu the message.
He Yuan also quickly arranged for people to fill in the excavated hills and rocks.
Then they went directly to Guiyizhou.
Xie Ci and his men had been fighting and marching for such a long time, and not only the soldiers but also the horses needed to rest.
There were also He Yuan and his friends who had been digging the dike continuously in the rain and had only eaten half full. Many young women had their lips turned blue from the cold.
Now that they are with Xie Ci, there is no need for the women to go out. There are also children hiding in the state. He Yuan and the others must first have a good meal and then rearrange everyone.
So, the two merged into one and quickly headed towards Guiyizhou.
He Yuan was talking about the location and whole story of the Beirong people. Xie Ci was listening, but he was multitasking. Once the tense atmosphere passed, he immediately thought of Gu Wan.
Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and raised his head!
In the wet jungle mountain path, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves, and two fast horses rushed out. Under the brown straw raincoat and straw hat, the first one was a female rider, with a tall figure and a pair of long, slender and straight legs.
Gu Guan and Xun Xiao rushed out of the mountain stream, and the waterfall rushed down. The two of them just happened to overlook the Wei cavalry and the combined forces of Guiyizhou walking along the slope.
Gu Wan laughed out loud: "I'll tell you!"
She raised her eyebrows proudly and glanced at Xun Xiao.
Xun Xiao snorted.
At the front center surrounded by the generals and Gui Yizhou, a young and heroic figure in black armor suddenly raised his head as if he had sensed something.
From a distance, the two looked into each other's eyes.
Xie Ci was overjoyed and immediately rode his horse forward. His red cape was soaked by the rain, so dazzling that it fluttered in the wind. He looked so heroic and handsome that he was unparalleled in the world.
Gu Guan also rode down happily to meet him, his tall figure rustling like the wind.
The two finally met in victory.
Xie Ci was overjoyed and shouted, "Wan Wan——"
Gu Wan was in such a good mood that she didn't notice at all. She laughed loudly into the wind and said, "Thank you! I guessed that you will be fine."
Isn't that as expected?
…
The rain gradually subsided and finally stopped.
Returning to Yizhou, the dark clouds were blown by the wind, rolling and surging continuously, and a piece of light from the clear sky was sprinkled on the distant mountains and nearby hills in front of the lush green.
The war horses were taken away to wash and rest, and the front and rear ends of Guiyizhou were roughly dealt with. He Yuan was busy deploying the remaining troops within Guiyizhou.
Xie Ci and Gu Guan walked side by side on the pebbled road beside the stream.
Not far from the warehouse, follow the main road to the end, and you'll reach the edge of the mountain. A stream meanders through it, and a group of children have been let out. The youngest, carefree and unconcerned, are happily playing in the water. The older, more sensible ones are watching their younger siblings hurriedly doing laundry, looking up from time to time, a bit like frightened birds.
Xie Ci stared at it for a moment, then he let out a long breath from his chest.
"Why are they doing this?" He thought about it and still couldn't figure it out. Destroying his father's hard work was one thing, but if he did that, Si Xin and the others would not benefit at all.
"If this continues, even if this incident didn't happen, Guiyi Prefecture would be in chaos sooner or later."
Si Xin and even Lu Xinyi will have to eat the leftovers.
Gu Guan shrugged and said, "This is how it is at the end of a dynasty."
In fact, she was not surprised at all. The original book ended up like that, and it was definitely not just Beirong who was the main reason.
She looked up at Xie Ci. He did not take off his armor, but only took off his helmet and held it in his hand. The rain had washed away his disguise, and his black hair, soaked with moisture, was particularly black and shiny. His skin had lost the light wheat color he had deliberately tanned, and was extremely white. There was a kind of gorgeousness like a frosted rose between his handsome eyebrows, and the black armor was solemn, dazzling and stunning, presenting a sense of iron and blood.
This young man will grow up to be a peerless hero in the future, but he doesn't know this yet. He frowns and looks angry and confused.
Gu Guan couldn't help but think of the skinny boy who was blocking the door with a silver gun, and who was in prison with a high fever and covered with scars but still struggled to crawl over and muttered "My family has never colluded with the enemy."
She sighed softly, feeling sympathetic, "Okay, don't worry about them, as long as the matter is resolved."
She took the initiative to change the subject.
Xie Ci nodded immediately after hearing this, "Yes, you are right."
He turned his head and met Gu Wan's exceptionally soft almond-shaped eyes. Her face and hair were wet, and her eyes were gentle, like a pool of misty beautiful mountains and rivers after the rain.
She feels sorry for herself.
This realization made Xie Ci feel like he was being fed with honey, and sweetness welled up in his heart. He was so happy that he almost couldn't control the upturned corners of his lips.
Xie Ci coughed twice and glanced at her secretly. Gu Wan had already turned around and was walking along the stream, looking up at the mountains and rivers after the rain.
Xie Ci immediately followed, "Wan Niang, are you tired?"
Today, he was still happy because of the hard-earned reunion and this little bit of leisure time alone.
Xie Ci smiled at her.
Xie Ci, walking with his helmet in his arms and smiling, was so handsome that it was breathtaking.
——No matter how Xie Ci changes, in front of her, he is still the innocent boy who looks up at her and walks thousands of miles hand in hand with her.
He was happy only when he was with her, especially after he figured out his own feelings.
"Tired, how can I not be tired!"
Are you so tired that you can hardly walk anymore? Gu Guan simply picked up a dry big rock and sat on it, stretching her muscles. Her bones made a "crackling" sound, and she grimaced in pain and collapsed directly on the rock.
"Xiao Si, you look so handsome today."
She looked up at Xie Ci, tilting her head to admire him for a long time, and couldn't help laughing: "Some other time, I have to tell my second sister-in-law that Xiao Si has grown up."
Xie Ci's face flushed when he was suddenly praised. Although he knew that she didn't mean it that way, he was still very happy.
"Really?"
He couldn't help but look down at himself, then looked up at her, pursed his lips and smiled: "You are dressed very beautifully today."
He also sat down and asked, "Can I massage it for you?"
His reaction was so cute that Gu Wan was amused by him and quickly leaned forward to shoulder him. She looked down at her red clothes and green pants that had just been dried. They were covered in dirt. She was speechless: "Fuck, how bad are your eyes!"
She was overjoyed, and Xie Ci also raised the corners of his lips. In fact, he wanted to say, "You are very beautiful today too."
He squatted beside a big rock, and in front of him was the person he liked.
The air was moist after the rain, the distant mountains were rolling, and the sky seemed very high and far away. He thought of every day and night he had spent with Gu Wan.
At that time, it was just the two of them, holding hands and running across the snow. She led him through mountains and rivers, from winter to summer, from east to northwest, as the sun rose and the moon moved, and the world changed.
After the rain, the sunlight shone on the green hills and white rocks. Xie Ci smiled slightly, and his beautiful eyes lost their sharpness and became as bright as starlight.
——She doesn’t like me now, but I like her. Sooner or later, she will fall in love with me too!
Xie Ci thought confidently.
As for the divorce papers, never mind, he's going to cheat!
The villain in his heart rolled over violently.
…
In fact, from the past to the present, the two of them often massage each other. After all, sometimes the intensity of physical exercise is too great, especially for Gu Guan. When she first started to chase the Xie family on foot, if she did not relax her muscles and bones in time, she would definitely not be able to walk the next day.
But today, Xie Ci got excited and hit her harder, causing Gu Wan to scream. She rolled over and looked over, "Hey, be gentle..."
Bumped into Xie Ci's star-filled eyes.
——Xie Ci's eyes are like stars, the starlight is bright and soft. He used to be as unrestrained and dazzling as the wind. Later, his forehead was full and his brows were like frost. His temperament was like a cold pine on the top of a mountain, standing alone and proud. Now he is stunning on the battlefield, iron-blooded and murderous like a sword or a spear.
But now it has all faded.
He looked at her with some surprise, half squatting beside the big rock. He was still the sincere boy who handed her buns under the eaves on a rainy day.
The only difference is that his eyes are bright and shining, as if filled with brilliance.
He said, "What's wrong?"
Gu Guan blinked and their eyes met. For a moment, she seemed to vaguely feel that something was wrong, as if a gear was missing a corner, it bumped slightly and then rolled over quickly. It was also like a drop of water. When she touched it inadvertently, she faintly sensed the traces of the sea.
She was stunned for a moment.
However, before Gu Wan could react, he heard the fluttering of clothes and a gray figure suddenly landed beside the boulder: "You still have the leisure to sit here?"
"We've tortured this group of Northern Rong people to find out where they came from. They're from the Tuo'edun tribe."
Under the grey hood, Xun Xiao spoke hoarsely, his voice much faster than usual: "We seem to have a shortcut. If all goes well, we can quickly find out who this person behind the scenes is."
"Also, I'm afraid Qin Xian is in great danger!"
What? !
And why did you only mention Qin Xian? What about Su Zhen, Chen Yan, and the others?
The two of them were startled and looked up, only to see Xun Xiao, wearing a gray cotton robe, standing silently by the stream beside them.
Gu Guan exclaimed, "Fuck!" This time, not to mention any inexplicable feeling, even his sense of touch, smell and taste were instantly thrown to Java.
Xie Ci was not very happy at first, and he stood up suddenly. He and Gu Wan looked at each other and said, "What did you say?!"
Xun Xiao said coldly: "Let's go to the back mountain. Let's walk around Guzang Mountain first."
He left quickly.
Xie Ci and Gu Wan didn't bother to talk nonsense and followed immediately.
The author has something to say:
Xun Xiao: If I'm not happy, no one else can be happy. (→_→)
Gu Wan: Holy shit, Xun Xiao, why are you only talking about Wenxuan's dad?!
Haha, just kidding, Xun Xiao didn't mean to interrupt on purpose. Of course, he's been through it and he understands. He looked at the two of them coldly and was happy to interrupt.
Wanwan knew that Xie Ci’s feelings wouldn’t last long. After all, when love is truly passionate, it cannot be concealed.
Ah Xiu, please do it as soon as possible, but now let’s make our kid stronger first, the first wave of humanoid plug-ins is about to be released.
This chapter is so long, it might be shorter tomorrow, Axiu needs to sort out the outline haha
(A Xiu will come back to catch bugs later, I’ve been very busy with work recently)
