Chapter 2 two

Ye Xingren walked into the room without a sound, tore off the black scarf and threw it on the table: "I went to the prison in Wuluo Mansion." "Ah?" Na Sheng was taken aback, saw his uneasy expression, and asked cautiously, "What... are you going to do?" "Visiting the prison." Yanxi answered briefly, as if extremely tired, "Mei Niang and many of her fellow clansmen were detained there." Na Sheng poured him a cup of tea, and offered it almost flatteringly: "How are they? Are they all right?" Yan Xi shook his head, did not speak, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and let out a long breath.Na Sheng had never seen him have such an expression, and felt uneasy for a while, and didn't know what to say, so he could only sit down beside him, look at him with his chin in his hands, his eyes rolled - Yan Xi didn't know what to say these days. Dali ignored her, as if he had something very serious on his mind, she watched from the sidelines anxiously, but there was nothing he could do to help.

"Are you hungry?" She managed to find the words, "I went out in the middle of the night and didn't eat anything." "I can't eat it." Yan Xi whispered. "So... do you want to rest first?" She accompanied carefully. Yan Xi shook his head: "Can't sleep—how ​​can I fall asleep?!" At the end of his speech, his voice suddenly increased, he punched the table, and suddenly raised his head.Na Sheng was taken aback by the bloodshot eyes in his eyes. "Hush..." Na Sheng was afraid that he would alarm the other people in the store, so he quickly pressed his mouth, "What happened?"

Yanxi fell silent, no longer speaking, just looking sideways at the dark night sky before dawn, her body trembling slightly. "Haihunchuan has been broken—the mermaid Lingyin betrayed her own clan, Xinghai Yunting was exposed. Mei Niang confessed because she couldn't stand the torture, and all the restoration troops in Yecheng were involved and buried for hundreds of years The entire Haihun River was exposed and almost completely destroyed.” After a long time, the Zuoquan envoy of the Restoration Army spoke with difficulty, “I originally wanted to go to the prison to rescue them...but the guards are so strict that I didn’t way to get them out."

He shook his head, looking pained. "Then... let's figure out a solution slowly?" Na Sheng whispered, holding his head in his hands, thinking hard, "Or go back and ask Su Mo and Zhen Lan—they are very capable, so they should have a solution." "No, we can't delay," Yan Xi whispered, "I can't bring them out, I have to kill them." "What?" Na Sheng was taken aback, and jumped up from his seat in an instant, almost knocking over the teacup. "Yes, I killed all the National Restoration Army locked in the death row... Only by killing them, so that they would not reveal more secrets under torture—that fellow Wu Luo, in terms of despicability, is even worse than Xin Zhui. Yanxi murmured, her shoulders trembling violently, "They also begged me to do it—because they didn't want to suffer more inhuman pain, and they didn't want to become a traitor like Mei Niang."

"There is no other choice." He turned his head to look at the night sky, and said in a low voice, "So, I fulfilled them." He unwrapped the package he brought back with him, and the smell of blood quickly permeated the room.Na Sheng glanced at it, couldn't help screaming, and took a step back in horror—a dozen newly dug out hearts were faintly shining with the luster of blood under the lamp. "Don't be afraid, this is the brave heart of a soldier - even at the moment of being killed, no one uttered a single cry," Yan Xi's hand gently brushed those soft hearts of Youzi, his voice was bottomless , "Don't worry, I will put your hearts into the sea... We will go back to our hometown together."

Na Sheng didn't know what to say, but felt extremely sad.She tried her best not to look at the horrible pile of flesh and blood, sat down timidly next to Yan Xi, and quietly grabbed the corner of his clothes: "..." Yan Xi didn't speak any more, she closed her eyes in the darkness before dawn, and remained silent for a long time.Na Sheng didn't know how to comfort him. After thinking for a long time, she carefully raised her hands to hug his shoulders from behind, and put her cheek on his shoulders.Yanxi's shoulders are cold, with the unique temperature of the mermaids. It was the first time she found out that he was so thin. Years of hard and bloody battles almost exhausted him--when will they be able to leave these wars and conflicts? Grief, how about staying together?

The two sat quietly in the room like this, until the daylight turned bright outside, and the sound of people and footsteps appeared on the street. "Yanxi," Na Sheng finally couldn't sit still, muffled, tugged at his sleeve, "I'm hungry." After sitting all night, Zuoquan envoy of the National Restoration Army finally came to his senses, forced a smile apologetically, "Okay, let's go have breakfast—after we finish breakfast, we should get down to business." "Business?" Na Sheng went to the door and told Xiao Er to bring it early, and turned around in surprise.

"I went to the prison last night and met Mei Niang. Before she died, she told me something..." Yan Xi frowned, but there was still pain in her eyes. I'm sorry about the National Restoration Army, and there is no atonement for a hundred deaths—but at any rate, I finally gritted my teeth and kept the last secret." Na Sheng was stunned: "Mei Niang confessed to the secret of the whole Haihunchuan, but she insisted on keeping this last secret. I think there must be a great relationship in it?" "Yes," Yanxi said slowly, "She hid all the Huotu people from Xiang and Xihuang in one place."

"Xiang? Huo Tubu?" Na Sheng was unfamiliar with these two terms, so he didn't know why.
