After hearing this, Mo Yu finally came to his senses. That's right, Hong Yu and he hadn't been together for long, so it was really him who was overthinking it, thinking this woman was interested in him. "Hahahaha, that's my overthinking. In that case, I'll have to leave it to you, young lady."
Listening to Mo Yu's somewhat wanton and refreshing smile, Hong Yu could only say stiffly: "...You're welcome."
Speaking of the somewhat serious topic of collecting corpses, Mo Yu actually felt that it was indeed worth considering his afterlife. Although everything was still uncertain, who knew if a disaster would strike in the next second? "However, if something really happened to me, please give my remains to Tang Chen."
As expected, just as Hong Yu expected, Mo Yu couldn't stop talking about this woman. Although he had a friend's last words, she felt that Mo Yu's concern for Tang Chen had a different meaning in her eyes: "Forgive me for asking one more question out of curiosity, but from what I see in what you've done to her, is it..."
Mo Yu replied: "No, I promised someone that I would protect her within my ability. This hope is simply because she knows where my home is better than you do."
Before Mo Yu and Hong Yu could exchange a few more heartfelt words, Chen Xin came back without knowing when, and floated slowly behind them, reminding them: "...It's almost time, it's time to set off."
Mo Yu was startled by the sudden appearance of Chen Xin: "When did you come back?"
"Just now," he said, then Chen Xin looked at Hong Yu and then at Mo Yu, and asked again: "Are you ready?"
"nature."
The warm breeze of early spring awakens the spirits of the Cool Valley, which have been dormant for the entire winter. As hundreds of flowers bloom, the mountain cherry blossoms that fill the mountains and fields of the Cool Valley dance above the earth in the gentle breeze.
Wherever the mountain cherry blossoms fell, the flames of war and the hooves of horses trampled the delicate and fragile petals harshly into the soil mixed with blood and sweat.
The sound of artillery fire outside Qingliang Valley continued incessantly throughout the entire day. Tang Chen and Liang Shuyi stood atop the highest corner tower of the palace, gazing in silence at the source of the artillery fire.
In the evening, the sound of artillery fire had stopped for a while. Instead, the sound of secret guards running from the direction of the military camp delivered a message: "Madam, we have won, we have won!"
Hearing this, Tang Chen's heart, which had been in his throat for a long time, finally relaxed a little: "That's great, that's great. What about Chen Xin and Mo Yu? How are they?"
"The Second Master is leading his men to clean up the battlefield, Mr. Mo..." After hearing the secret guard's words, Liang Shuyi staggered and half-leaned on the wall of the corner tower, lowered his head, and tears of joy overflowed from the corners of his eyes.
Tang Chen, while feeling happy for Liang Shuyi, lifted up her skirt and quickly rushed down the corner tower: "Madam, please slow down!"
After Xie Zhuangshui fled in panic with the Nanyue soldiers, the slightly injured Chen Xin and his men began to clean up everything on the battlefield. Among the corpses on the ground, Mo Yu was the only one missing.
Hong Yu, dressed in red, stood amidst the corpses of South Vietnamese soldiers. He looked at one of them, half-kneeling on the ground with a longsword in hand, his body riddled with arrows, and said, "You fought like hell. Just now, it was the first time I've seen such passionate resonance between bloodthirsty insects."
"......" The only person still standing among the corpses, at this moment, had his eyes wrapped in red flames, and even the sweat that had flowed from his body was the bright red from hell.
Hong Yu squatted down, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the blood off Mo Yu's face while speaking to himself, "The agreement between you and your father has been fulfilled. But in the end, you still didn't remember the agreement you made with me. You should be thankful that I am still a soft-hearted person."
When the soldiers who had been searching for Mo Yu found Hong Yu wiping Mo Yu's face among a group of South Vietnamese soldiers' corpses, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; fortunately, it looked like Mo Yu was not in any serious trouble.
After confirming once again that the woman in red was Hong Yu, the people who came to look for Mo Yu happily shouted to the crowd: "Second Master, we found it, we found it!"
However, when Chen Xin rushed to Mo Yu and wanted to say something to him, the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't open his mouth anymore. Mo Yu's wounds and arrows all over his body, as well as the South Vietnamese soldiers lying on the ground around him, shocked him so much that he didn't dare to speak: "......!"
While everyone was waiting patiently and quietly, Hong Yu gently wiped Mo Yu's face clean and cleaned off the "unsightly" arrow feathers on his body one by one.
After everything was ready, Mo Yu, wearing a blood-stained armor, quietly closed his eyes and fell asleep in the afterglow of the sunset: "Let's go, everything is clean now, take him home."
...Tang Chen was anxious to know Mo Yu's current situation, and the secret guard was hesitant and couldn't explain clearly. Tang Chen had just rushed down from the corner tower when he was blocked by Princess Fenglai and her two maids.
Seeing that he was about to hit someone, Tang Chen quickly braked and stopped. The road was already narrow, and Tang Chen was too lazy to deal with these three people. He simply lowered his head and stood aside, thinking that he would wait for them to pass before running over. It wouldn't waste much time.
Who knew Yingchun would be so furious? Before Princess Fenglai could say anything, she pointed at Tang Chen and started lecturing him: "What kind of person are you? You're so impulsive and have no eyes. If anything happens to the princess's precious body, how can a mere servant like you be responsible?"
Tang Chen knew that he had almost bumped into someone, so he bowed to Princess Fenglai and said, "...I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't see you. Let me apologize to you first."
The secret guard who was taking care of Liang Shuyi on the corner tower saw that Tang Chen and Princess Fenglai seemed to be arguing under the corner tower and thought to himself, "Oh no! Second Madam, please rest here for a while. I'll go see Madam!"
Liang Shuyi had been worried about Chen Xin all day, so she hadn't eaten or rested, waiting for news. She was a little exhausted, and Princess Fenglai was just downstairs. She really didn't want to have any direct contact with that person, so she ordered, "My legs are weak and I can't walk. Go quickly and don't let them get into a fight!"
"I understand."
The sound of artillery fire outside the valley had been blasting for a whole day, and Princess Fenglai had been listening to it all day in the garden. Seeing the person in front of her acting like she was about to go out to help, she said, "Yingchun, she looks like she's in a hurry. Besides, she's already acknowledged her mistake and apologized. Don't make things difficult for her. Let her go back to her own business."
