C43 Only for the dead (2)

Everything was going on in silence, and no one wanted to talk. Their hands were light, as if they were afraid of hurting their brothers and comrades.

Even though many soldiers had their bones broken due to the explosion, the soldiers who were responsible for keeping their bodies in check continued to patiently search for the remains, joining them together bit by bit.

There were more and more reinforcements coming. They were shocked at first, and then they became incomparably respectful. Finally, they silently joined the converging mission.

The battlefield was too chaotic. Some of the soldiers were being suppressed by five or six enemies, but before they died, they were still biting the throat of the enemy. Several soldiers had spent a lot of effort to get him out, but his hands were still holding onto the enemy and he had no intention of letting go.

They did not know what was happening, but just by looking at the battlefield, they could tell that their three hundred opponents were enemies of at least twenty thousand people. Almost every time one of these three hundred people fell, there would be more than ten, if not more, enemies surrounding them. What kind of terrible war was this? Did they not want to live? I'm afraid not, but where did they get the courage to die?

"General, I think it's Deputy General Cheng that's alive!" A loud and clear voice shook the entire audience, but the content of the words was very inspiring.

Situ Qingyun dismounted from his horse and ran towards the source of the voice.

"Old, Old, wake up, wake up, don't pretend to be asleep!" Situ Qingyun frantically shook Cheng Qinglong's body. He wanted to use all the strength in his body to wake him up.

After they shook intensely, the Deputy General Cheng slowly opened his eyes. Seeing that the person shaking him was Situ Qingyun, Cheng Qinglong heaved a sigh of relief and said with a weak voice: "Great General, you're here. It's really good to see you.

Speaking up to here, the tears flowed down from the corners of Deputy General Cheng's eyes.

"Great General, we didn't lose any face for you. We'll reimburse all 100,000 people." Deputy General Cheng continued to speak. Although tears were flowing down his face, he was smiling. He was proud.

However, when they saw him laughing, the people gathered around him started to cry. They couldn't suppress their emotions. After all, they were a hundred thousand strong enemy. Let alone three hundred people, they even had three thousand people. How long could thirty thousand people hold on for? But these three hundred people had accomplished it. They had wiped out an entire hundred thousand enemies, but the result was that those three hundred people had also fallen into eternal slumber.

"Where's Little Three?" What exactly happened? " Situ Qingyun tried his best to calm down as he asked Deputy General Cheng in a low voice.

"Young General ?" He is the most powerful person I have ever seen, he has brought us all on a killing spree, even though he was severely injured, he did not retreat a single step. My Old originally thought that he was just some young master from a rich family, but it seems like my Old was blinded by a pair of dog eyes, my Old ? " The sadness on Deputy General Cheng's face grew deeper and deeper as he spoke. He did not answer Situ Qingyun's question, but started to cry with his weak voice.

Seeing his grief, no one continued to ask. They seemed to have thought of something, but no one dared to think it through.

"Old, where's the young master? Where's my young master?" The little girl's voice sounded like she was sobbing. She was not a soldier, she was just a woman, or more accurately, a girl. She only wanted to find her young master, and that was her only, God.

"We fought with our lives on the line with the and killed a lot of people, but there are more and more enemies, too many, and they kept charging forward, our weapons were broken, rolled, we used our fists, rocks, and teeth, and the warriors beside us fell one after another, but no one retreated, because the Young General was always at the front of the line, he was still there, he was not retreating, he was always fighting, we can't retreat, we can still fight." The Old spoke on his own, as if he was deeply immersed in the memories of that battle.

We only know that there are enemies, but only the Young General and I are left on the battlefield. I can't stand anymore and the Young General is supporting me, but he's not much better off. Hearing Old's words, the little girl covered her mouth with both hands, but her heartfelt cries and screams were transmitted out through her hands.

Looking at the heavily scarred body of Old, one could imagine the miserable state of that young general, the General Gongsun Ze Tian, who was always creating miracles.

"One of them was the leader of the enemies, everyone called him Prince. The young general tricked him over, and then he detonated those dark things, but ? But... At the moment of the explosion, the young general kicked me away. He cursed and kicked me away. You don't fucking mean what you say! " After finishing his sentence, the Old seemed to be looking at Gongsun Zaitian.

Although Cheng Qinglong had said those words word by word, these words caused many people to be shocked. They could imagine how tragic that scene was, and how General Gongsun had died. When Old was at the end of his speech, the surrounding soldiers all took a step back and knelt down once again. They could only use this method to express their admiration and respect for him.

"Ah... Young Master... You said that you would come back, and you said that you would come back to find Lan Er. " The little girl was in extreme sorrow. Her head tilted to the side as she fainted.

"Old, let's not talk about that. Rest well. We will arrange for people to treat your injuries." Situ Qingyun also felt the same way. He forcefully endured it as the myriad of soldiers around him all looked at him.

"Great General, there's no need to trouble yourself, I know about the injuries of my Old, I don't have anything good to live on, and I don't have anything to worry about, just that I can't stay with the great general any longer, I want to go find the young general, he is missing the Old, I am afraid of him being bored, the young general doesn't like it, with the Old accompanying him to make fun of me, he can be happy too." Young General, don't go too fast, wait for Old! "

Hearing Cheng Qinglong's words, Situ Qingyun had a bad premonition, and hurriedly said: "Old, don't!"

But it was too late. Old used his last bit of strength and stabbed his dagger into his heart. The last tear fell from his eyes, but the corner of his mouth was still smiling. It could be seen that he was very happy to leave, as if he had not seen his old friend for many years.

News of what had happened in the north quickly reached the imperial capital.

"This Situ Qingyun, he really gave me a huge trouble, the imperial court had long impeached him and his imperial report is about to turn into a flower of blood." A person wearing a dragon robe sat upright in the study room and said.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. After all, the north has won a great battle this time." An old eunuch dressed as a eunuch spoke.

I also heard that the one who contributed the most in this battle is still that nephew of his. Many of his plans and arrangements came from the hands of that man. Haha, heaven bless Hong Long. But, Situ Qingyun can't just turn around and give us a big call, can you? This has caused the entire northern lands to be in a state of panic. "

"I think that the Great General Situ must have some reason and difficulties. Besides, the Great General Situ has control over the northern military and it is not considered too overbearing. The old ministers in the imperial court are making too much of a fuss, I'm afraid that someone behind the scenes is fanning the flames, and they are even a little jealous of the contributions they have made this time."

"Sigh, but on the surface, this bunch of old ministers still stand up straight. I can't help you even if I wanted to! What a headache! "

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the north!" A sudden announcement sounded from outside the imperial study.

The eunuch walked out of the room and returned quickly with the report in both hands. He then handed the report to the emperor with both hands.

"Let's see what Situ Qingyun is trying to do, haha!" The emperor happily flipped open the secret report from the north.

However, as the content went deeper, the emperor's face became more and more solemn. In the end, his face darkened to the point that water was about to drip out.

"Pa!"

The emperor spouted fire from his eyes as he shouted, "You are all full of guts to dare to do such a thing. Do you think that I don't dare to kill, or do you think I don't know how to?"

"Calm down, your Imperial Majesty. Calm down, your Imperial Majesty." The old eunuch immediately knelt down and said.

"They are really bold. He has misunderstood the nation!" The Emperor spoke with a dejected tone. His heart was filled with heartache.

"Your Majesty..." The old eunuch was not sure what had happened, but he cautiously opened his mouth and asked.

"It has nothing to do with Situ Qingyun." The Emperor didn't want to hide it from his trusted aide who had followed him for so many years, so he continued, "Ninth Brother brought some men to the north. One hundred thousand cavalry, one hundred thousand!"

Pausing for a moment, he calmed himself down and continued: "Ol'ninth wanted to kill Situ Qingyun, and even wanted to snatch the Situ Family's treasure, but Situ Qingyun escaped. He was lured to the Dragon Canyon by Situ Qingyun's nephew, and died together with Situ Wuchi in the Dragon Canyon. "A good seedling has been nurtured. For the next few decades, the Empire will no longer have any worries. But now ?"

"Situ Qingyun transferred troops to save his nephew?" The old eunuch immediately thought of the impeachment incident from before.

"That's right, Honglong Empire has lost all their heroes and spread the word. Aside from the imperial flag, all flags have been lowered. Within the next three months, all celebrations will be cancelled to show their condolences!"

"Yes, but Your Majesty, we've already started preparations to celebrate the great victory of the North ?"

"Cancel it!" I don't have the mood to accompany those people! " The Emperor was resolute and decisive.

The news also reached the old mansion of the Situ Family. At this moment, the old mansion of the Situ Family seemed to have been baptized in the flames of war. Broken walls were everywhere, and the family servants were currently carrying the injured and burying the corpses.

After receiving the news, the Great Clan Elder of the Situ Family could no longer suppress her injuries, and spat out blood. Situ Wuchi's father, Situ Qingtian, had turned white all night, and her mother fainted on the spot.

The nation was not immersed in the joy of the great victory in the north, but in mourning and grief. It was not because of the sudden 'death' of the royal family's Ninth Prince, but because of a person called Situ Wuchi. However, everyone liked to call him Gongsun Zephyr, because he was a great general that everyone admired.

As for our hero, Gongsun Zaitian, he was cursing loudly.
