Chapter 150 Bad news again and again
Huo Cheng was unwilling to speak or admit this fact. He just put his hands behind his back and faced the distant green mountains.
Qu Yiran looked at Jisheng with some strangeness and said, "I'll pick it up and take a look?"
Jisheng nodded.
Qu Yiran then squatted forward, picked up the piece of paper with bad news, opened it, and was shocked after just a glance. She opened her mouth slightly without realizing it, and her eyes immediately turned red. Jisheng didn't expect Qu Yiran to be like this, so he walked over, held Qu Yiran, and took the note in her hand.
What surprised him was the news of death on the paper.
His brows frowned deeply, and his expression was extremely serious. After a long time, he spoke: "He"
But he found that everything was choked in his throat, and with only one sound, he could no longer say it. It turned out that death was so cruel and so close.
Finally, when Jisheng's mood calmed down relatively, he said, "Has he buried it?"
"Not yet." Huo Cheng shook his head slowly.
"Let's go and see him off?" Jisheng said, "and you have to tell Tang Xi and the others that Tang Xi and Qin Sang have been friends since childhood." At this point, Jisheng felt a little uncomfortable.
Huo Cheng shook his head: "If all of us have gone, then will we still fight this battle?" He said this with pain. In fact, he also wanted to return to Jianshunfeng to give Qin Sang a grand funeral. However, the situation is special now. He is the commander of the army. How could he do this?
Qu Yiran held back her tears and asked, "Is it true that human life is so shallow in your eyes?"
Huo Cheng asked back, "Do you think I'm not heartbroken? Qi Wanshan and I almost watched Qin Sang grow up. I thought it could be exchanged for his success and fame, but now it's my fault for his death. But, he is not the only one who died in this battlefield? Isn't the lives of other soldiers who died in battle a life? If they were buried one by one, we all went to see off their farewell, the battle would probably end in failure on the first day. How many people have died? Fortunately, they can still be transported back to their bodies and buried randomly in this blood-stained land. Unlucky, the corpse is gone. Who can give them an explanation?"
How could Qu Yiran not understand this principle? But she is a girl and an emotional woman. She could only lower her head and hide her tears silently.
Jisheng understood what Huo Cheng said and understood Qu Yiran's thoughts. He touched Qu Yiran's head, took her into his arms, raised his head and said to Huo Cheng: "Then, I have to inform Tang Xi and the others?"
"Tang Xi is very kind and values love too much. His relationship with Qin Sang will not last a day or a night. If he knew about it, he would definitely come." Huo Cheng shook his head.
"Does he not have the right to know the news of his close friend's death?" Ji Sheng asked.
"You have to understand." Huo Cheng said.
"Is the so-called understanding so cruel?" Jisheng couldn't stand it and asked back.
"This is an order!" Huo Cheng emphasized his tone, with irresistible majesty, "You must obey!"
Jisheng gritted his teeth, helped Qu Yiran up, and said word by word: "I am not from your Wanjun Mansion, why should I obey your orders from your Wanjun Mansion? I will come if I want to come, and leave if I want to go!"
"You!" Huo Cheng pointed at Jisheng angrily and said, "You are doing it nonsense!"
Jisheng still wanted to speak, but was pulled by Qu Yiran. Qu Yiran calmed down at this moment and said, "Jisheng, let's go back first, he has his difficulties."
Jisheng looked at Qu Yiran in disbelief, Qu Yiran shook his head gently. How tacit they understood, Jisheng understood what Qu Yiran meant with just one look. He then pretended to be angry and left.
Qu Yiran pulled Jisheng to the side and said, "I know you are the same as I thought, but Huo Cheng said something he considered, and he was right. But we can't tell Tang Xi about Qin Sang's death. We should pretend to hide it from Huo Cheng first, and then secretly send a message to Tang Xi, how about it?"
"This is the only way now. It's just Qin Sang." Qu Yiran sighed, "Qin Sang and us were born and died. It was Shen Yanyi before, but now it is Qin Sang."
"We won't have anything to do." Jisheng hugged her and comforted her.
Tang Xi didn't know if he was stunned. When he woke up, he felt like a century had passed, and the sky was a little green, as if it was about to rain.
"Niantong" Tang Xi shouted in a daze.
It seems that something is wrong.
Tang Xi immediately woke up and turned around quickly, but did not see Nian Tong. He was a little panicked, but he was still comforting himself that she might have gotten up early to wash or practice swordsmanship. So he calmed himself down, got up first, and looked around.
Tang Xi walked to the river but did not see Nian Tong. There was a faint voice in his heart telling him, but he was unwilling to think about it carefully. Suddenly he saw a few soldiers scooping water there, and he walked over, but his steps were getting faster and faster, and finally he almost ran to the front of those people.
"Did you see Niantong?" Tang Xi asked.
"Miss Niantong? No, maybe Miss Niantong is practicing swordsmanship? She always got up early." The man said.
Tang Xi frowned and before he could answer him, he turned around and ran towards the bamboo forest.
"Niantong!" Tang Xi shouted while walking in the bamboo forest. He was getting more and more anxious. He was afraid that what he was thinking was really true. She would really go to Xu Yungui.
"Niantong" his voice gradually became lonely.
Why do you do these things without hiding them? Is it because I didn’t give you the sense of security you want, or I am just an ordinary friend around me, and I can’t share everything with you.
He stepped on the ground covered with bamboo leaves step by step, lowering his head, not knowing what he should do.
The raindrops fell down and dripped on Tang Xi's forehead. Tang Xi felt a little confused. He raised his face and let the rain fall on his face, trying to make himself more awake.
Two days, Lu Zuke gave them two days. Niantong must have taken this opportunity to assassinate Xu Yungui. He knew Niantong best, and he almost knew exactly what she was thinking. A few nights ago, he looked at her frowning and fell asleep every day, and knew that she must have something in her mind, but he had not confirmed it at that time. He was afraid that Niantong would disappear one morning when he woke up. But he didn't expect that the day would come so quickly.
I want to exchange Xu Yungui's life for peace in this battle.
But Xu Yungui is her brother after all, Tang Xi knows her. Although she doesn't say it, she still has a different feeling for this man who is related to her. She must be very sad if she asks her to kill her brother with her, right?
What about him?
Tang Xi only felt a split headache. He could know Niantong's mind, but he didn't know what he should do. He was worried about Niantong, and he was so worried that he could fly to her to protect her now. Does she know what fate he has? He is so bold that he kept saying that all this would be impossible, but he was so afraid of losing Niantong.
However, if he left everything and rushed to her, the left army would be left unsupported. The consequences were unpredictable. This was definitely not what Niantong wanted to see. Since she left alone, she would definitely want to reduce casualties.
Tang Xi never had so many concerns. If he had been in the past, he would have gone to protect her without saying anything, but Niantong had what he wanted to protect, and what he could do now is to protect what she wanted to protect.
He clenched his fists, and the rain slid down his cheeks, stinging his red eyes.
Tang Xi was facing this group of soldiers who were a little nervous because Nian Tong disappeared, and his complexity was not reduced to half. Now he had to bear all Nian Tong's concerns. He had to do what he had to do so that she had no worries.
But just as he convinced himself that when he was adjusting his army, he saw a familiar figure rushing from afar.
Tang Xi frowned. If this figure was not mistaken, it should be Jisheng. But his face was clearly not Jisheng. If that person was Jisheng, it must have happened. Otherwise, he would not have come here regardless of the overall situation. After all, in the middle, there was a more difficult battle and his beloved Qu Yuan, and he would not leave at will.
Tang Xi reached out and waved his hand to the hundreds of people in front of him, signaling them to take a break first, and then he walked straight towards the figure that kept walking in.
"Jisheng?" The more he walked in, the more he was almost sure that the person was Jisheng. Except for his different face, the other walking looks, including height and shape, were exactly the same. The most important thing was that Jisheng had a unique temperament that others did not have, which was something that he would not have lived in seclusion for many years.
"It's me." Jisheng pointed to his face, said nothing, and suggested that he had disguised himself, so his face changed.
Tang Xi pulled him over, frowned, and said, "Why are you here? What's wrong with Qu Yiran?" But then he thought, if it were Qu Yiran, he would definitely not be so calm, let alone he didn't need to come to him.
"Tang Xi, where is Nian Tong?" Ji Sheng looked at it, "If she is here, let's talk about it together. I can't bear to say this twice."
Tang Xi's eyes darkened and she said, "Niantong is not here."
"Not here?" Ji Sheng was a little strange, but when he saw Tang Xi's expression was very lonely, he felt a bad premonition in his heart, "Is it?"
