Chapter 494 Death
These words seemed to have consumed all his strength, and finally, he said it softly.
"Okay, I'm going to get some sleep."
Mao Zixiao nodded quickly, helped Guan Zhixin cover herself with the quilt, and walked out.
Guan Zhixin slept for a long time.
In his dream, he saw the gentle former crown prince Li Wenci again, and the beautiful and extraordinary woman Fu Shiyu.
There is also a blurry figure of a man.
He was carrying a child, wearing armor, with a strong face and wounds on his body.
It was he who handed the child over to him.
"Your name is Guan Zhixin, right?"
He said, "Shiyu said that you are very smart and loyal, and you are the prince's man."
Guan Zhixin nodded slightly in surprise, because the prince was happy with this sentence.
But the general handed the child to him.
"I'm injured and won't live long. This child is the prince's only child in this world. I... will hand her over to you. You must raise her."
"Remember, her name is Jingchun."
"The spring breeze is gentle and the rain is gentle. This is her mother's blessing to her."
Mao Zixiao nodded in confusion. The grief brought by the prince's suicide was swept away the moment he saw the child.
He looked at the child's eyes and a strong willpower burst out from the depths of his heart, inspiring him to come to where he is today, step by step.
After the general handed the child to him, he turned around.
However, the little boy he was leading kept looking at Jingchun and was unwilling to leave.
The general squatted down.
"Ershi, let's go. I'm taking you with me today just to let you remember this scene.
You are my disciple, and she is the one I want to protect. She is also the one you will protect in the future. When you grow up, remember to protect her, okay? "
Gu Erli nodded firmly, then glanced at Jingchun again, and then followed the general away.
And after so many years, he seemed to see the child again.
He grew up and became a general, and he really was protecting that child.
In that case, he felt relieved.
late at night.
Guan Zhixin slowly opened his eyes.
Mao Zixiao, who was dozing off, woke up immediately and rushed over when he heard the noise.
"Master, how are you?"
Guan Zhixin shook his head.
"I'm fine. I'm much better now."
"You, go get me some paper and pen."
Mao Zixiao nodded quickly.
Guan Zhixin wrote for a long time and then handed the two sheets of paper to Mao Zixiao.
"This is what was in the young master's bag."
"This is something that Master Fu Shiyu gave to you for self-defense. I've studied it for so many years and finally figured out its use. Today I'm giving it to Chen Hechuan, and that can also be considered as giving it to the young master."
"Give this to Shen Hechuan and tell him that as long as he makes this and puts it inside this, he can fight against that large crossbow and even force Da Qi to retreat."
"With it here, Chen Hechuan won't embarrass you."
Mao Zixiao looked at the two pieces of paper in his hand and nodded slowly.
"Okay, Master, wait for me, I'll give it to him now."
But Guan Zhixin held him back.
"No hurry, just listen to me first."
“Although our current people have dispersed, our secret lines are still there.
In the future, if I go, you will go find the young master and tell her that you will be hers from now on. Everyone in Guiyuan Sect will obey her orders, understand?"
Mao Zixiao nodded, but tears flowed from his eyes.
"Master, why are you telling me all this? I don't want to hear it. I don't want to follow the young master. I only want to follow you.
You are just too tired now, you will be fine, I will find a doctor for you, he will definitely cure you."
Guan Zhixin shook his head.
“It’s useless, I know my body.
I have survived this long, and that is enough."
"For so many years, I always thought I was doing the right thing."
"But it was the young master who woke me up."
"Young Master is right. If the former Crown Prince saw that the people are now prosperous and the country is peaceful, he would definitely not think of rebellion again."
“Over the years, these things have become my obsession, not the late crown prince’s.
Fortunately, everything is gone now. It’s not too late for me to understand now. But, before…”
Guan Zhixin's voice trembled.
"It was me... who harmed the young master. I'm sorry for her..."
"Child, if... you truly want to do this for Master's own good, then guard her and protect her on Master's behalf. Consider it... atonement for my sins..."
After Guan Zhixin finished speaking, she had no more strength left. Her hands dropped weakly and she slowly closed her eyes.
“Master, Master…”
Mao Zixiao stared blankly at his falling hand and shook him gently.
However, he closed his eyes and was no longer breathing.
the next day.
The craftsmen in the military camp found Shen Hechuan with the blueprints.
"Your Majesty, this blueprint shows the shortcomings of the crossbow.
But, we are so far away, we can't get through, and there is no way to destroy it!"
Shen Hechuan frowned.
"You mean to say that this blueprint is useless."
The craftsman nodded.
"You could say that."
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan became angry again.
"This guy, even at this time, still dares to play tricks, I will go and kill him right now."
As he said that, he picked up his sword and rushed forward aggressively.
However, when he brought his men to Guan Zhixin's tent, he found that Guan Zhixin was no longer alive.
Mao Zixiao huddled beside Guan Zhixin's bed, staring blankly ahead, as if he had lost all his strength.
Shen Hechuan looked at this scene and frowned slightly.
"Dead?"
Chen Hechuan was filled with anger. "Letting him die like this is too easy for him."
He looked at Mao Zixiao.
"If he dies, I will kill you!"
Mao Zixiao then seemed to see Chen Hechuan and slowly raised his head.
"I have something for you."
He looked at Chen Hechuan and spoke word by word.
"Master said that as long as we have this thing, we will definitely be able to defeat Da Qi, and it will be the fastest method, ensuring that Da Qi will not commit the same offense again."
"But I want to see the Queen."
Shen Hechuan sneered and pointed his sword directly at his neck.
"It's come to this, and you still refuse to give up and are trying to play tricks."
Mao Zixiao, however, raised his head, showing no expression of resistance or fear at all.
Even when the sword pierced his skin, he did not change at all.
This appearance also made Shen Hechuan somewhat interested.
So he retracted his sword.
"Okay, I can let you see the Queen, but when that happens, don't blame the Queen for killing you."
Mao Zixiao nodded.
"Then I'll gladly accept it."
As he spoke, he handed the two pieces of paper in his hand to Shen Hechuan.
