Chapter 13 Chapter 8 Reunion (1)

When dawn came, the fierce fighting all night finally subsided temporarily. Fei Lian came out of the lovebirds and jumped to the ground, feeling the smell of sweat and gunpowder smoke all over his body. The fierce battle all night made his mental and physical strength reach the limit, and he was almost in a trance of collapse when he landed.However, without stopping for a moment, he ran through the blackened urn city to the equally exhausted army in the outer city. ——It was this foreign surprise soldier that tore through the enemy's defense at a critical moment last night and reversed the situation.

"Major General Fei Lian." From a distance, he saw a half-blood middle-aged soldier who was being helped off his horse while staggering. —So it was him? I was a little surprised that it was this aristocratic general who had been stationed at the Chishui Gate for many years and had never fought a tough battle, but Fei Lian still had a grateful smile on his face, and went straight up: "Qi General Ling! So it was you? Yecheng was able to repel the invading army last night, thanks to you!" The middle-aged soldier showed an expression of excitement and embarrassment, but after all, he was honest and honest, and couldn't bear to take credit for it. He turned and pointed to a soldier sitting next to him resting in the corner, and whispered: "No... Fei Lian, last night As soon as I got to the outer city, I broke my arm—he was the one who led the troops afterwards."

It's him?Fei Lian was taken aback, and looked back at the young soldier who was panting against the corner of the wall, that man also raised his face blackened by the gunfire to look at him, his eyes were bloodshot. A completely strange face, strange eyes, never seen in the lecture hall or even the imperial capital. "My name is Lang Lang, the former captain of the empty camp of the Zhenye Army..." The man panted, and took out a token from his side.Fei Lian took a look, and his face changed—this person is actually a soldier directly under Marshal Wu Peng! "In Xialanglang, I was ordered by Marshal Wu Peng to go to Dongze to kill the traitors." Sure enough, the man wiped the blood from his face and whispered, "Unexpectedly, he came back after his success. Killed by the traitor Yun Huan."

Fei Lian fell silent—he visited the scene in person on the night Po Jun was born, and saw the scene when Marshal Wu Peng was killed.That bloody and cruel scene lingered in his mind like a nightmare, making him feel chills again. He couldn't forget Yun Huan's terrifying eyes, and he couldn't forget the scene of him tearing up the marshal's broken arm, drinking blood and laughing. "Yun Huan..." Fei Lian murmured almost like a groan, "It's a devil." The wolf raised his head eagerly, his eyes were almost bleeding: "I came here to kill this devil and avenge the marshal!"

Fei Lian nodded: "The marshal left his last words when he died in battle, entrusting us to contain the broken army, otherwise, the empire will perish--I escaped the catastrophe fortunately, and I will fight for the marshal's last order. I don't know what brother wolf wants?" "The marshal recreated me with kindness... If it wasn't for the marshal, I would have died on the street." Lang Lang's bronzed face showed a look of grief, and he punched the wall, leaving a bloody handprint, "For twenty years, I Live for the marshal—I am also willing to live for the marshal in the remaining decades!"

"That's good. We have the same hatred." Fei Lian sighed, but secretly wondered when Marshal Wu Peng had saved this person—most of the ten witches were scheming people, especially Wu Peng and his uncle , has been operating in the empire for a hundred years, and the forces are intertwined and spread all over the top and bottom.Unexpectedly, these lurking chess pieces have become life-saving soldiers today. "Major General Fei Lian," a soldier behind him suddenly stepped forward to report, "Master Wu Luo invites you to go back to the residence." "What?" He turned around.

"It is said that several spies from the National Restoration Army have been arrested," said the soldier, "Major General, please go back and interrogate them." "National Restoration Army?" Fei Lian smiled wryly, feeling that things were in a mess, "The National Restoration Army is still appearing at this time? Hasn't the station on the Xinghai Yunting side been uprooted?" He turned over and got on his horse in a hurry, when he suddenly remembered something, he turned to the soldier on the ground and said, "Lang Lang...you wait a while and go to the army camp. Let's discuss the next plan."

"Yes," Lang Lang stood up, straightening his shoulders, "but at the command of the major general!" - When the war suddenly broke out, everything was in power.Yecheng suddenly changed from a bustling commercial city to a wartime command office, Wu Luo's mansion was also borrowed, except for the back garden where the family members were housed was still closed, the front hall became a meeting hall, the garden became a horse farm, and there were troops from time to time Going in and out to report the situation of the battle, the place where you are usually drunk, dreamy, extravagant and extravagant, is now full of the smell of war.

Fei Lian got off his horse in front of the hall, threw the whip to the attendants, and walked all the way in. "Major General, these are the spies caught!" The soldier led him to the inner court, and pointed him to a series of men and women who were chained together in iron shackles, "Their leader is a woman in red, Lord Wu Luo is arraignment." Fei Lian only took one look and showed a surprised expression: "It's clearly a herdsman from the Western Wilderness, how can he be a spy of the National Restoration Army?" "Major General, this group of untouchables from the Western Wilderness tried to escape last night with a Merman Restoration Army, but they were discovered by the guards. They chased half the city before they were captured." The soldier replied respectfully, "Master Wu Luo interrogated him for half a day. , but was provoked by this group of untouchables, and ordered that except for the leader to continue to be tortured, the rest will be beheaded tomorrow."

"Beheading?" Fei Lian frowned, slightly displeased, "Now that the situation in the city is already like this, why do you want to pursue the National Restoration Army? The enemy is now, and it's not too late to talk about these things later." "Major General," the soldier lowered his head, a little timidly, "Lord Wu Luo said that because of the chaotic situation, all signs of turmoil must be quelled as soon as possible - kill them early to avoid future troubles." "..." This kind of disregard for life and death made Fei Lian feel uncomfortable, but it was inconvenient to refute it in public at this moment.Seeing a young man in the crowd, he couldn't help but couldn't bear it: "What about this one?——He's still a child who doesn't understand anything. Even if an adult commits a crime, he won't be implicated in being beheaded."

"Who wants you, Bing Yi, to pretend to be merciful!" Before the words finished, the young man straightened his neck and cursed, "I am an upright man, you are a fucking child!" "Adu," a tall man next to him snapped in a low voice, "shut up!" "I don't!" The young man stared straight at Fei Lian, "Bingyi's lackey, you have the guts to bite me to death!" To be insulted by the untouchables like this is an extremely intolerable thing in the eyes of the Ice Tribe. Before the major general can express his opinion, the attendants around him drew their swords out of their sheaths with a "clang" sound, and wanted to cut off the head of this sand barbarian.However, Fei Lian was not provoked, he just stretched out his hand to hold down the attendant's hand, and shook his head: "Forget it." He turned his head and asked the left and right: "Where is the Merman Restoration Army?" "Major General, I will be detained in the side chamber," the soldier bowed, "Lord Wu Luo has finished one round of torture." "Why are you detained separately, not in the court?" He hurried to the side room. The soldier hesitated for a moment, then murmured: "That merman was injured too badly, I'm afraid he will die immediately if he is handcuffed in the open air." Already at the door, Fei Lian seemed to have sensed something suddenly, startled for a moment, and stopped in front of the door.After hesitating for a moment, he said to the soldiers beside him, "You should step back first." "Yes." The soldier withdrew. The door closed behind him, and the room fell into darkness again. He heard someone breathing lightly behind the curtain, the sound was rapid and messy, and the smell of blood permeated the room, accompanied by another smell that he was familiar with.Fei Lian's eyes changed rapidly in the darkness, he brushed aside the hanging curtain, walked over silently, but did not light the lamp. In the darkness, he felt someone move in the corner. "Don't be afraid," he bent down in the darkness, holding down the shadow that was trying to struggle, "It's me, Xiang." The black shadow shook instantly and stopped struggling.As if she also recognized who the Ice Tribe soldier who came to interrogate her was, her whole body began to tremble slightly, but it was not because of fear.The two of them remained silent in the dimly lit room, not saying a word. "Fei Lian?" After a long silence, the other party finally spoke, his voice hoarse and unpleasant. "It's me." He let out a long breath, straightened up, went to the table and lit the lamp.The light flickered on his face, and the major general of the Zhengtian Legion turned around and looked at his mermaid puppet with complicated eyes: "I never expected to meet you under such circumstances, Xiang." ——However, before the words fell, he was shocked on the spot. Is that Xiang?That merman couldn't see the original appearance at all, it was like being immersed in the flames of purgatory, not a single inch of skin was intact on the whole body, although those terrible festering marks had been healed, but they were densely covered all over her body, making the whole body Man looks like a writhing, howling ghost in the flames of hell. What's even more frightening is that on top of those old wounds, there are layers of new wounds, bloody and horrific.The whole person can no longer see his face, just like a blood man. The people on the ground laughed bitterly: "It's hard for you to recognize me." Fei Lian was startled by such a horrific appearance, and after a while he slowly smiled wryly: "The smell of moisturizing ointment...I didn't expect Yun Huan to actually give you that thing." "..." Xiang was shocked imperceptibly, remembering that a long time ago, when she and Yun Huan went to the country of sand together, the person in front of her threw a box of ointment to prevent skin cracking on Yun Huan's skirt. I asked my colleagues to take care of this merman puppet all the way.She sat beside Major General Po Jun, listening to each and every word, with a look of insane indifference on her face, but her heart was boiling with emotion. ——At that time, she already knew that after this trip to the Western Wilderness, she would never be able to return to his side. However, fate gave her a glimmer of life, allowing them to meet here again.At that moment, the stubborn and unyielding light in the eyes of the female soldiers of the Restoration Army dimmed, and they looked down at him no longer.In front of all the Ice Race, she can proudly despise him, but this person in front of her can't - she has no face to see him. "I thought you were dead," Fei Lian said in a low voice, backtracking, "Yun Huan reported everything when he returned to the imperial capital, saying that you were an undercover agent planted by the Fuguo Army, trying to steal Ruyi beads, but died in Chishui while fleeing. inside." "Heh," Xiang suddenly sneered, "he concealed a lot of things...how could it be so simple." "I know," Fei Lian shook his head, "then it was discovered that the Ruyi Pearl was a fake, and things took a turn for the worse." "Wishful bead?" Xiang suddenly sneered, her voice hoarse and terrifying, "Do you know, the wishful bead you got is actually this!" She raised her hand abruptly, pointing to her empty eye sockets, with a proud and desperate look on her face. decision. Fei Lian was stunned, looking at the hollow, deep-set eyes, which showed a mixture of shock, awe and pity. "Why... Xiang, why bother," he murmured, "I trust you so much, but you make yourself so inhuman." "You won't understand," Xiang looked at him with a sarcastic smile in his one-eyed eyes, "Major General Fei Lian, son of the Wulang clan, you won't understand—for us, whether we are humans or ghosts, we must Better than being your slaves!" Fei Lian suddenly turned around: "So, can you unscrupulously betray and use the person who loves you?" Xiang was stunned by his unusual tone, and was slightly taken aback—she had never seen such an expression on the gentle and refined Fei Lian after working together for so many years.There was a heart-piercing look in his eyes, which deeply hurt her heart for an instant. "Bi's matter...you know?" After a long time, she asked softly. Fei Lian gave a brief low laugh and stopped answering. Xiang tightened her fingers in the dark, lowered her head, and felt her fingers tremble slightly—the brave and fearless female soldiers of the Restoration Army, for the first time, did not dare to look directly into other people's eyes, and just kept silent in the dark. "Kill me." She finally said, "I won't confess anything." Fei Lian didn't speak, and turned his head to look at the horribly eroded person by the toxin—it was obvious that Wu Luo had been interrogated again just now, and new bloody wounds had opened all over the old wounds, which was unbearable to look at. He took a deep breath: "Wuluo couldn't make you speak, so what can I do to you?" Such a helpless and gentle tone made Xiang tremble.Fei Lian turned around, looked at the sky covered with battle clouds above Yecheng, and said in a low voice, "Xiang, what makes me sad is not that you ever betrayed me—a nation can be forgiven no matter what means it uses to rebel against another nation. only……" Fei Lian looked at the faint golden light over the imperial capital in the distance, and sighed: "It's just that I didn't expect that I would send a spy to my best friend with my own hands, thus ruining his life - and ruining the whole country." .” Entire country?Xiang was startled.During these days, she has been confined in the Haihunchuan secret room in Xinghai Yunting, isolated from the outside, and has no idea what happened outside in these short few months. "Yun Huan... isn't he dead?" She asked hesitantly, "Should the empire execute him?" Fei Lian was slightly taken aback, then turned to look at her: "So you don't know yet." He smiled wryly, and then the smile became deeper and deeper, and finally turned into a sad and gloomy sigh: "Xiang, you opened the seal with one hand and released the monster, but you still don't know the consequences?" He looked at her: "You don't know what a terrible person Yun Huan has become now, and you don't know what the situation in the imperial capital is now—if you know, the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ice Race people are probably also You only feel joy and hatred? But, did you know that in the massacre in the imperial capital, not only the Ice Tribe died? "Did you know that Yun Huan also issued an order to massacre all the mermaids in the imperial capital!" Xiang gradually trembled in his voice, and the remaining eyes showed a fierce light.She stretched out her skinny hand, as if wanting to pull his collar, and murmured: "You... What did you say? What did you say?" "I said, contrary to your plan, Yun Huan was not executed." Fei Lian lowered his body, stared into her eyes, and there was a certain kind of anger in his voice, "He survived! He endured more than you imagined survived the suffering!" "He lived for revenge, do you understand?—revenge for you, me, the country that betrayed him, and the nation that betrayed him!" Fei Lian's voice gradually became sharper, and he stretched out his hand to hold Xiang's frail body. Shoulder, "Do you understand? Have you ever imagined what kind of monster he has become today!" Xiang's breathing became rapid, but he couldn't say a word. "Xiang, things have turned into such a situation, the entire Yunhuang will be involved in the flames of war and killing," Fei Lian felt the mutilated limb trembling in the palm of his hand, and his voice couldn't help but sigh, "I believe that your original intention , I don’t want to see the situation today.” "Do you know how many relatives and friends I lost in this massacre in the imperial capital? For me now, my determination to restrain Yun Huan is as firm as your determination to restore the country!" Fei Lian stared quietly The female soldier of the Restoration Army said calmly, "Xiang, I only ask you to do one thing that will not harm your clan and the country. Please help me." Xiang trembled slightly, the iron-like defense line in his heart was loosened, and finally he said hoarsely: "What's the matter?" "Tell me, what happened in the country of sand in the West Wilderness?" Fei Lian's voice was gloomy, "Why did Yun Huan change completely after he came back from there? What is it, since then, To start destroying him? I want to know everything about him—including his weaknesses." "And among the existing people, no one knows him better than you." Xiang opened his mouth with a complicated expression.As if recalling all the events in Xihuang, tears suddenly appeared in her remaining eye. For the first time, this strong female warrior showed remorse and weakness, and murmured: "It's because of her ……because of her." She raised her hands, covered her face, and choked up: "Fei Lian... I, I may have killed the wrong person." ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
