Tang Chen had heard everything about Mo Yu from Li Xinzhai. Because Mo Yu often sneaked into the capital, she'd questioned him out of curiosity. Of course, after Li Xinzhai couldn't stand Tang Chen's gossip and repeated assurances, she finally revealed Mo Yu's life story to her.
Although Tang Chen regretted it when he found out, it was too late to regret it then: "...I'm sorry, I asked Xinzhai about your affairs before."
Mo Yu said indifferently: "It's nothing, just don't spread it."
The two of them sat quietly on the edge of the cliff, enjoying the cold wind. It seemed that apart from Li Xinzhai, they couldn't find any other topics to talk about for a while.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Mo Yu handed the now transparent jade cicada that Li Xinzhai had given him to Tang Chen and instructed him, "If I can't return, bury this jade pendant under the peach tree on the top of the mountain. I promised them that I would go back to enjoy the flowers with them."
"......" Tang Chen just lowered his eyes and looked at the jade cicada in his hand, with no intention of taking it.
Seeing that Tang Chen didn't move, Mo Yu simply threw Yu Chan into her arms. After drinking a gulp of cold wine, he said nothing more.
Tang Chen lowered his head and sighed, then slowly said: "I know that life may only have a few meanings for you right now. But no matter what, I still hope you can remember that your friends would rather you live a mediocre life than not do anything. As long as you live, you will definitely find what you hope to protect again."
Mo Yu knew that Tang Chen was afraid that he would lose faith in life because the people around him left one after another, so he volunteered to go to the battlefield and die. "I understand what you mean. Don't worry, if it's not God's will, I will come back alive."
Tang Chen knew that he was a man who kept his promises, so after Mo Yu said this, he took Yu Chan into his arms and said, "Then I would like to wish you success in advance."
"Thank you very much."
That night, Chen Xin also took time to return to the palace, thinking of visiting the two most important women in his life before leaving. After Liang Shuyi knew that Chen Xin would set out early the next morning to face Xie Zhuangshui head-on, she hugged him tightly and refused to let go.
Liang Shuyi knew that Chen Xin's going to the battlefield was inevitable, but she also knew how difficult and important this battle was. He could have sent someone else, so why did he take the initiative? "Chen Xin, can't you just not go, or go not so soon?"
Chen Xin patted Liang Shuyi's back and said soothingly, "Shuyi, don't worry, I will definitely come back. Besides, we are well prepared this time and we have the help of Shu Kingdom, so we will be fine."
"But!"
But this time, what Chen Xin and his men had to face was not only the South Vietnamese army that was equally well prepared, but also the three terrifyingly powerful cannons in their hands.
Chen Xin said half-jokingly: "Don't worry, even if I have to desert, I will come back."
Liang Shuyi didn't care about Xiao Shuang'er crying after she woke up, she just buried her head deeply in his arms: "We agreed that you will never abandon me and the child!"
Chen Xin immediately expressed his opinion: "My wife is so considerate, so gentle and lovely, unparalleled in the world. To be honest, not only now, but in this life, or even in the next, I don't want to let her go."
Chen Xin's words were still full of confidence and affection, but this time Liang Shuyi was a little unwilling to buy it: "These are empty words, I don't want to listen to them at all now."
Chen Xin watched the sky slowly rise, but Liang Shuyi showed no sign of letting him go. Since praising her was useless, he could only look to the future: "Yes, yes, yes, then let's talk about the future. As long as this battle can destroy the three cannons in Xie Zhuangshui's hands, then within six months, the South Vietnamese army will definitely withdraw from Daliang. By then, our little Shuang'er will be able to travel far away, and the three of us can go out and have some fun together, okay?"
Although she was very reluctant, Shen Xin had said so much, even talking about being a deserter. If she didn't let him go and delayed the military opportunity, she would really become a sinner: "Don't forget what you said."
...The time to set off was almost up, and Chen Xin hadn't returned yet. After Mo Yu had organized the team, he immediately spotted Hong Yu who had suddenly mixed into the crowd.
Mo Yu dismounted and slowly walked up to Hong Yu. He ripped off the helmet he had stolen from her head and said, "If you want to sneak in, you should dress formally. Your red outfit is really eye-catching."
Hong Yu said calmly and seriously, "I had no intention of hiding."
Mo Yu pulled Hong Yu out of the team and took her aside to teach her a lesson: "Defending the country is a man's duty. Besides, you really don't have to fight in this battle..."
Hong Yu had heard these things countless times, and Mo Yu didn't need to repeat them. She was too lazy to listen. "I said, I don't represent any position. I came here only to fulfill the promise I made with others."
Mo Yu turned Hong Yu's body back and pushed her out of the team: "I may disappoint you this time. There is a high probability that I should come back alive."
Hong Yu had suddenly returned to Daliang to find Mo Yu because she had a strong premonition that this man would soon walk alone into the underworld. If her guess was correct, this battle, if nothing unexpected happened, might be his last.
It wasn't that she possessed some cosmic ability to predict the future, but rather that everything happening now could be predicted. Although she had fused with the bloodthirsty Gu, it was still a Gu, and it was destined to prevent her from dying a natural death like an ordinary person. Furthermore, the trigger that activated the bloodthirsty Gu and accelerated its backlash was killing.
War, by its very nature, is a place filled with bloodshed. Hong Yu was now 90% certain that this man would die. "I knew you had a bad memory, so I lied to you back then."
Mo Yu sighed helplessly and said, "...Miss Hong Yu, you really don't need to do this for me."
Hong Yu shook his head slightly and said, "No, I'm doing this for myself. You gave me a tooth and told me it was a part of you. If anything happens to you or you completely lose your mind, you hope I can take you home. I accepted your things and I will definitely fulfill the promise. I won't participate in the war between you. I'm just someone waiting to collect your body."
