44. Farewell(1/2)
The dusk in Yanjing City is very lively.
Many things that will end tonight have begun. The first thing to appear is the battle between warriors and warriors. At the moment when Shen Qiu and Zhang Chu fought, a vanguard army was preparing to march towards Yanjing more than ten miles outside the city.
In the front military camp, Qingqing was wearing a set of Tiance light armor on her outer garment.
She didn't need to fight, so the symbolic significance of this set of armor was far greater than the actual significance. The bird was beside her, holding the three-day moon knife for her sister. Outside the camp, Yaoguangwei was making final preparations.
The people and horses were neighing, and the advance camp was filled with a sense of expectation, the fusion of excitement and anxiety was like a rolling tide, which would eventually include everyone here.
"How is it? Are you okay?"
Qingqing, who was wearing her armor, had a bit of heroic spirit. She shook her long braid, adjusted her armor slightly, took the knife from Feiniao's hand, and leaned it in her hand.
She turned around and asked Fei Niu, who nodded vigorously, gave her sister a thumbs up and said:
"It's very majestic."
"It's just a formality."
Qingqing laughed and reached out to grab Feibird's head. She looked at the knife in her hand and said:
"Earlier, I really hoped that I could have a famous thing like the knife in my senior brother's hand, but now that I have this knife, I have no chance to be unsheathed.
Just like they guarded me, it was as if I had no power to tie a chicken.
But I was also a female hero who wanted to avenge her.
Under my knife, there is also the blood of the damn person."
Speaking of this, Qingqing's eyes moved outward and landed on the silent You Wuming. The more powerful one-armed boy seemed to have adapted to his new identity.
He is guarding Qingqing's side every day and changes shifts with several other masters on time. He never talks much at work. He is very silent and calm. He also has a reassuring temperament.
Qingqing seemed to remember something, she shook the knife in her hand and said:
"Wu Ming, don't you go and see him off?"
This sentence has no beginning or end. If others listen, they will definitely not understand who "he" is in Qingqing's words, but You Wuming knows what Qingqing means.
He leaned on the crazy sand knife with a scabbard with one arm, raised his head and looked at Qingqing.
The melancholy in the blue eyes was even more serious.
He has difficulty answering this question.
Finally, under Qingqing's gaze with inquiry, You Wuming shook his head with a complicated expression and whispered:
"Uncle Beihan, no, I'll go."
"Um?"
Qingqing frowned and she asked:
"What's wrong with that old man?
Senior brother said that he had the same thoughts as elders towards Zhang Chu and you, that is, elders, so why did Zhang Chu still act so ruthless when he was facing a desperate situation.
wrong!
That old man is not a ruthless person. He is in Chang'an and begged me to tell my senior brother that Zhang Chu would be the only one to let him go.
Oh, I understand, he doesn't want you to be involved in things related to Zhang Chu anymore, right?"
The princess's eyes fell on You Wuming's broken arm. She pursed her lips and said:
"Indeed, the old man has considered it very well. You have done enough for that person, so you don't have to get into any cause and effect."
"No."
As soon as Qingqing finished speaking, You Wuming shook his head.
This young man with a unique mindset said seriously:
"Why, you always say, is it enough?
I don't think I owe Brother Zhang Chu, or Zhang Chu, owed me, I just wanted to help him. I didn't ask for anything, and I had received a reward.
I just thought that I would protect you, and I would not ask for anything in return. This is what my friend should do.
Just like Chen Qiu, when he helps you, you will also consider gains and losses?
Brother Zhang Chu and I, we both, think more about each other and do more.
I just didn't want to make Uncle Beihan angry.
His health is getting worse."
"My senior brother and I are different from you and Zhang Chu."
When she heard You Wuming talking about her senior brother, Qingqing instinctively retorted, but the next moment, she heard You Wuming, who had always been silent, and then she asked excitedly:
Insert, [app] is really good, it is worth installing, and it actually supports both Android and Apple phones!
"Yes, what, different?"
"Zhang Chu is using you."
Qingqing curled her lips and said:
"You know that he left you in Lin'an. When you have no value, that person will kick you away."
"no!"
You Wuming shook his head stubbornly.
He said:
"Brother Zhang Chu, I don't know, if he knows, he won't."
"It's so hard to hear you speak, lifeless."
Qingqing was still listening, but Feiniao complained first:
"Why do you always speak intermittently? There is no problem with your throat."
This made You Wuming silent for a while.
After a few breaths, he said helplessly:
"I've developed it, got used to it, and I've been feeling uncomfortable. Brother Zhang Chu and Uncle Bei Han have tried to help me, but he has no choice."
"Don't interrupt."
Qingqing said to Feiniao with dissatisfaction:
"I didn't believe it after hearing him say it. I couldn't help but make him so stupid. What's the point of Zhang Chu? It's not enough to break an arm for him?
Do you have to pay your life?
I think you have been bewitched for half your life and trapped yourself in, but you end up not being able to get out.”
"This statement is unfair, sister."
Feiniao was not silent. He glanced at You Wuming, then looked at Qingqing, and said in a very neutral way:
"Except for you and your master standing together, I can understand what Wuming said, in my opinion, there is really not much difference between him and Zhang Chu and you and your master.
My sister doesn’t have to always say that Zhang Chu is useless.
If you really use it, Wuming would not be able to survive until now. Anything that Zhang Chu asked him to do was to be related to his sister or master, but would end up with a crushing defeat.
If I were Zhang Chu, I would also feel that lifelessness is a burden.
But not only did Zhang Chu not dislike him, he did not change his attitude towards him. I also heard Zhang Lan occasionally say that Zhang Chu and Wuming are more like brothers than between him and Zhang Chu."
Speaking of this, Fei Bi shrugged and said to Qingqing:
"So if you look at it like this, sister, you are now like the one who is trying to get disagreement between Wuming and Zhang Chu."
"Which side are you standing?"
Qingqing was speechless, she frowned, stared at the bird, and said:
"Now I'm asking you to help me persuade him, not to help him speak, Zhang Chu is going to die tonight. He can't be the opponent of his senior brother no matter what."
The princess blinked, and said to the two people in front of her as if she was revealing a secret:
"The senior brother you see is already very powerful, but I want to tell you that the senior brother's true strength is at least three times stronger than what you see!
Zhang Chu can't survive tonight.
If Wuming cannot untie the knot in his heart, after hearing the news of Zhang Chu's death tonight, I am afraid that my mind will be damaged and may be in a slump."
Qingqing shook her head. When she heard footsteps outside the tent, she knew that it was the Li brothers who came to invite her to set off. She took the last moment to say to the worry in front of her:
"I have heard some truth from what Feiniao said. During these days, I have repeatedly told you this, but you don't listen or believe it. The trust in that person in my heart is already deeply rooted.
Forget it, I don't have much trouble.
I won’t need you to protect me tonight. I’ll give you a vacation and do what you want to do.”
Qingqing shook her long braid, and she took the bird out of the tent, waved her hand to You Wuming without looking back, saying:
"Whether to see him off or wait for news here, it's up to you.
To be continued...
