Chapter 234 Jin丨Exclusive release from Jiang Literature
Two young swordsmen with powerful swords, wearing similar white clothes and with the same cold expression, Xue Chen was very jealous.
The system also saw it: [Why do I feel that they look more like twins.]
Xue Chen: [Shut up.]
System: [Do you regret not wearing the same clothes as Gong Jiu?]
Xue Chen sneered: [I regret it. What I regret most is not locking you in a small dark room at the beginning.]
System: [……]
After solving the system, Xue Chen looked at Ximen Chuxue, "Today's competition is over."
Ximen Chuxue: "Of course. I came here to discuss swordsmanship."
Before coming to the capital, he fasted and bathed for three days to prepare for the duel. But after coming here, he didn't find an opponent. After a few days of sword fighting with Xue Chen, Yu Luocha didn't look for him again, so he lost interest in a duel.
Hefangzhai is a place to rest, but it's not home after all. In this situation, he has to avoid the government when he goes out to buy something. It's inconvenient to do anything. Ximen Chuxue can't prepare for death at this time, so this sword fight with Xue Lian is just a sword fight, not a duel. When he made an appointment a few days ago, it was also a "fencing fight".
He didn't miss the fleeting disappointment on Gong Jiu's face, and couldn't help but apologize in his heart: "We should choose another day for the duel, and we shouldn't be so hasty. I'll write a letter to ask for a fight after I've dealt with the miscellaneous affairs in the manor."
"I don't agree." Xue Chen said.
"Brother!" Gong Jiu looked at him aggrievedly, not understanding why he was so on Ximen Chuxue's side.
Ximen Chuxue was also puzzled, "You are also a sword practitioner, you should know that the sword is a weapon for killing people. Sword practitioners should be aware of the possibility of dying at the hands of others. This is a foregone conclusion and will not change because of escaping. Why not face the challenge, put life and death aside, and comprehend the profound sword art." "
I can die, but he can't."
When he said this, he didn't look at anyone, only at the black-sheathed long sword in Ximen Chuxue's hand.
Gong Jiu and Ximen Chuxue both thought that "he" referred to each other.
Ximen Chuxue was silent.
Even if Xue Lian was not the prince of King Taiping, Xue Chen, as his elder brother, could understand what he said. But he felt that no one could be responsible for another's life. Even brothers should be two independent individuals. But this was not something he, an outsider, should say.
Gong Jiu asked in an almost questioning tone: "Why?"
[He's jealous.] Xue Chen said proudly, [Look, he and I are brothers.]
System: [...]
Indeed, Ximen Chuxue is different from you two.
He is not a pervert like you two!
Xue Chen ignored Gong Jiu's question. He said lightly: "I hope you two can abide by the agreement."
It was not easy to argue with his brother in front of outsiders. Gong Jiu did not refute, but his eyes became colder.
Ximen Chuxue: "My opponent is Xue..."
Gong Jiu didn't like to hear this. Ximen Chuxue didn't know how lucky he was to be regarded as a friend with whom his elder brother could discuss swords. He didn't allow Ximen Chuxue to say such things and hurt his brother's feelings. Without waiting for Ximen Chuxue
to finish, Gong Jiu said, "Yes, I will listen to my elder brother." Having
said this, Ximen Chuxue didn't need to say anything more.
Since it was not a life-and-death battle, the result of the competition was not that important. Xue Chen nodded to the two of them, "Then I won't bother you."
-
On the Xingjin battlefield, Yun Heyan, wearing a black armor, rode on a horse, lagging behind the chief officer, and stood in front of the formation together.
The chief officer of the suppression formation was Li Yanxian, who was about the same age as Yun Heyan.
He was very accomplished in the use of troops and fighting, had a quick mind, got along well with his subordinates, and knew how to use people. The troops he managed had strong cohesion, and they fought with all their might every time. His original name was Li Xiaozhong, and all his family members died at the hands of the Jin people. Afterwards, he recruited soldiers to serve the country, established merits, and was awarded the official title of Chengjielang by the court. Later, he wrote a memorial to impeach Li Gang for not caring about his soldiers. He didn't know who was going to take the opportunity to harm him, and he was directly imprisoned for this matter. Li Xiaozhong got the news and fled overnight, changed his name to Li Yanxian, and rejoined the army.
He devised a clever plan to defeat the Jin army, and then launched a series of attacks. In less than a month, he captured more than 50 camps of the Jin army, which earned him the recognition of King Taiping. He was promoted step by step to his current position.
King Taiping was very kind to Li Yanxian and treated the people he sent very well. When he learned what they had sent, Li Yanxian became even more excited.
He looked at the soldiers below and said loudly: "I believe you have all heard about the chaos in the capital. With a powerful enemy at the doorstep, the government has been instigated by traitors and has not made up its mind to resist the foreign enemy, missing many good opportunities. If it were not for the prince in charge of the army, the country would not have been able to hold on until today. This battle is related to the foundation of the country. We must do our best to live up to the trust of the prince!"
The soldiers shouted in unison: "Yes!"
Li Yanxian: "This is Master Yunhe Yanyun, a confidant of the prince. This time he specially brought the newly developed firearms. With strong soldiers in hand, if I lose the battle, I will have no face to live anymore."
"We must win! We must win!"
"Okay! Rest for a while, and follow me to the battle after an incense stick!"
Yun Heyan watched the soldiers disband and went to the back to clean up the stove.
Li Yanxian rode his horse and walked side by side with Yun Heyan: "Civil officials all say, 'People can be made to follow, but not to know.' I always think that my brothers are fighting side by side and can be entrusted with life and death, so no matter what happens in the court, they are never hidden."
Yun Heyan: "It's good as long as the goal can be achieved."
Li Yanxian was stunned for a moment, and smiled: "Mr. Yun is really straightforward."
Yun Heyan did not respond, and there was a bit of silence for a while.
Fortunately, because of what he said just now, Li Yanxian could more or less guess his temperament, and did not insist on these warm-up social interactions. While there was still some time, he detailed the battle plan with him, and then led the army to fight.
Yun Heyan went with him to see the effect of the new product in actual application, and to find an opportunity to steal something to drink.
Xie Heng and Liu Yixuan would not go to the battlefield for the time being. The government arranged a place for them to live. The two vests had a room each, and they had not had any communication from the way here until now.
Hu Sheng felt something was wrong: "Young Master, does Young Master Liu have any misunderstandings about you?"
The two vests had no intersections on the surface, so what misunderstandings could there be?
Liu Yixuan is dumb, and it is normal for her to be a little introverted. Xie Heng said, "Do you mean that I am too cold to Liu Yixuan?"
This is what Hu Sheng meant. He had long felt that the young master did not like Liu Yixuan, and Liu Yixuan did not seem to like the young master very much either. If the two met by chance, they would not even look at each other, as if the other did not exist at all.
He did not understand Liu Yixuan's character, but he knew what kind of person Xie Heng was. Liu Yixuan must have done something disgusting to make Xie Heng treat her like this.
System: [I told you to be perfunctory, now you are done.]
Xue Chen: [Do you think I have not considered the current situation? I don't care at all. Whatever others think, it's none of my business. I don't want to compromise myself for the sake of other people's opinions. 】
System: [Is Mr. Hu considered another person? 】
Xue Chen: [Of course not, wait until I play him and make him clear. 】
System: [......]
Xie Heng's expression changed, and he said a little sadly, "I just don't know how to get along with him. My leg... People like us, although our experiences are different, our general situations are similar. He should also... treat me with a similar attitude. Do you understand?"
System: [What do you understand? Why don't you explain it clearly. Mr.
Hu: "I am meddling in other people's business."
"You don't have to put yourself down so much. When we were on the Nameless Island, I worked for Gong Jiu just like you, but I was physically disabled, so Gong Jiu asked you to take care of me. You have never been my servant, and I have never regarded you as a servant, but I had to rely on you because of my physical disability. The Nameless Island is gone, and you are older than me. If you don't mind a cripple like me, you and I can call each other brothers."
Mr. Hu was a little dizzy from the sudden closeness, and stammered, "I...I..."
Xie Heng thought for a while, "I was inconsiderate. It is not reasonable for an elder brother to serve his younger brother personally. We will get along as usual in the future, and you don't have to serve me anymore."
"Sir! When you are out and about, you are unfamiliar with the place. Even if you buy a few servants now, they will not be convenient to use. Please let me stay with you!" Hu Sheng knelt in front of Xie Heng for some unknown reason.
"Get up." Xie Heng saw that he did not move and touched the armrest of the wheelchair. "Do you still want me to help you up?"
Hu Sheng stood up, lowered his head, looked like a stone, and had a wooden expression.
Xie Heng could see that he was at a loss at the moment.
The young man in the wheelchair sighed, "In fact, I have wanted to do this for a long time, but I was worried that you would misunderstand me, so I didn't know how to say it. Now that I have said it, I will make it clear once and for all to avoid any resentment in the future. Gong Jiu sent you to my side not only to take care of my daily life. Now you don't have to monitor me anymore, and I also have a wheelchair for transportation, so I can take care of myself. I want to live like a normal person, do you agree?"
"But can you really take care of yourself?"
"It's nothing more than moving slower and taking more time, what's the problem." Xie Heng lost his patience, put away his gentle expression, and returned to his usual sluggish indifference. He didn't want to explain any more, "Just think of me as someone who has been paralyzed for many years, with a crooked mind and weird behavior."
Hu Sheng was stunned, "I disappoint you."
"You did disappoint me." Xie Heng leaned back in his chair, not looking at him, "but you also have the ability to keep me hopeful. Go out, I don't want to see you now."
Hu Sheng bowed silently and retreated.
The room was extremely quiet, with only the shallow breathing of Xie Heng.
System: [What is the character of Xiao Xie?]
Xue Chen: [Cold, gloomy, extreme, sad, hypocritical.]
System: [...] A little familiar in the strangeness.
System: [Why do I remember that you only acted like this at the beginning, did your character collapse later?]
Xue Chen: [Do you have any misunderstandings about human beings? All human beings have joys, anger, sorrows and joys. The best example is Ximen Chuxue. Don't look at his coldness, it's easy to make him angry.
[Of course Xie Heng has his good moods sometimes. Moreover, Xie Heng became like this after being injured. He was not born with this personality. Some time ago, I took some time out of my busy schedule to act depressed. Mr. Hu even suspected that I didn’t want to live anymore, and you still said that my character was ruined! ]
[I’m sorry! ] The system saw that his original body called Xiao He over and asked about Ximen Chuxue’s whereabouts. [You don’t really want to provoke Ximen Chuxue, do you? ]
It has been several days since Gong Jiu and Ximen Chuxue had a sword fight. He hasn’t appeared in Hefangzhai for a long time. It seems that he has left.
Xue Chen: [You are not worth my fuss. 】
He said to Xiao He gently: "Tell Lian'er to send someone to keep an eye on the outside. If there is anything unusual, notify me immediately."
Xiao He: "Yes."
The sunlight was slanting, and Xue Chen was sitting on a low couch, half of his face hidden in the shadows. His cold expression added a bit of gloom, and he didn't look like a good person.
【The hostages ran away, and Yu Luosha no longer had to worry about it. It's almost time to take action. 】
System: 【Are you going to catch Ximen Chuxue back? 】
Xue Chen: 【Killing is so boring. If you want to do something, do it thoroughly. 】
System: 【Be more normal, I'm scared. 】
Xue Chen was thoughtful and quiet for a while, and suddenly said in a clear voice: 【Hehehehe. 】
System: 【……】
