Chapter 33 Section VII

Lanting post, next to the Tang army's heavy camp. "After watching Li Gong, I feel that I am still a child. A person like me is just material for being a shepherd in Beilu," Lu Guichen sat by Ji Ye's bed, staring blankly at the candle. "But I can't help it. Brothers still think I'm a threat, because I'm my father's child. I sometimes think that when we are born, we don't choose our own path. No matter how hard we work, we are still just one person." , but other people, many people, they push you to go on the road you don't want to take. Even if you want to escape, it's useless."

"I don't know, and I don't think about it. I just know that I don't want to be so unknown, to be looked down upon, to be bullied... No matter how many people want to push me, I will never walk the road I don't want to go. The general said that I would take off the head of a troubled overlord like Ying Wuyi, Asule, I believe it. I am better than Lei Yunzhengke, Qi Zhao Peng Lianyun, Chang Ye... I am better than all of them, Why shouldn't I be the last winner?" Ji Ye lay flat, looking at the ceiling of the military tent without blinking. "Actually, I also thought about it. I used to want to be like my father and become a man that everyone respects. However, when I went to the battlefield and saw those dead people, I suddenly felt very sad." Lu Guichen shook his head, "The general also As I said, once you succeed, you will die. Maybe one day you will become very strong, defeat countless enemies, even Li Gong will be killed by you, and you will be famous for thousands of miles like the general. But what's the point of that? ?”

He sighed lowly: "Sometimes when I look at the general, I feel that the general is also a very lonely person." Ji Ye looked at his friend silently, and after a long time, he asked in a low voice: "Asule, what do you think is an enemy?" Lu Guichen froze for a moment, then shook his head: "Who is the real enemy?" "Fang Qizhao, Peng Lianyun, do they count?" Lu Guichen was stunned again, not knowing how to answer.Fang Qizhao, Peng Lianyun, Lei Yunzhengke, and that Youyin who was forever buried as a secret in the underground palace floated in his heart like ghosts, but Lu Guichen didn't know if these people were him or not. Although these people are like their enemies in Nanhuai City, they may jump out at any moment to make trouble for them, but Lu Guichen still doesn't think they are the kind of enemies who will die. Let him kill Fang Qizhao who he hates the most, but he may still not be able to do it.But if these were not their enemies, then those who were killed by Ji Ye on the battlefield were not even enemies. They even met for the first time, and just because they met on the battlefield, they would fight to the death.

Ji Ye pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled, proud and cold.He turned his head to look at his friend with all his strength, raised his unbroken right hand and pointed to his face, and said each word very clearly: "I think they are my enemies, because I don't deal with them." They, they would step on my face." Facing those dark eyes, Lu Guichen shuddered all over his body.He remembered the second time he met Ji Ye, it was in an unknown alley in the East Palace, the moonlight was dim, the roar was suppressed in the throat, and the children slaughtered their opponents like wild beasts.Those people raised their feet and stomped hard on Ji Ye's face, one foot after another.But the black-eyed child didn't beg for mercy, he kept his eyes wide open, his gaze pierced through the crowd, burning with a temperatureless fire, which made Lu Guichen's heart feel terribly cold.

"I don't want to care so much," Ji Ye whispered, "Whether they deserve to die or not has nothing to do with me. I don't want people to step on my face, so they are my enemies. On the battlefield, that's it, Regardless of whether we are facing good people or bad people, if you can't bear it, they will rush up and kill you." Lu Guichen lowered his head, his heart was tangled with sadness.He could feel the anger and loneliness in his friend's heart, like a young wolf licking its festering wound alone in the darkness where the moonlight could not be seen, the wolf's fur was all over the place, and it vowed never to suffer such humiliation again and pain.This deep anger made Lu Guichen feel uneasy, but he couldn't admit that what Ji Ye said was right.If the fight in the East Palace that night hadn't ended with Himeno's victory, would Youyin and his brothers have broken Himeno's ribs, smashed his kneecaps, and even smashed his eyes?Lu Guichen could understand Fang Qizhao's ferocity towards Ji Ye, and Fang Qizhao and the others might not be able to do such a thing when others can't see it.Since they could obscenely ask Yuran to take Yuran away, it would not be inconceivable to abolish Ji Ye, whom they hated the most.

Lu Guichen shuddered viciously at the thought of this, he suddenly felt restless, he couldn't stand his best friend being broken ribs smashed knees and eyes smashed, he could imagine that if he saw Ji Ye lying on his back like this In front of him, he would also rush out angrily, eager to take revenge.In just an instant, the uneasiness in his heart disappeared, and a wave of determination overwhelmed everything. "I don't want to die," Lu Guichen said slowly, "but we are good friends, as long as Lu Guichen? Asule? Pasur is still alive, I won't let them step on your face!"

Seeing Lu Guichen's serious expression, Ji Ye was stunned for a moment, and suddenly wanted to laugh.This weak but kind friend would also say such sweeping words, he couldn't even keep his position as Qingyang heir, and was sent to a place far away from his hometown, becoming a hostage beyond his control.Even if Lu Guichen really wanted to, how much could he help himself? But Ji Ye didn't smile, he nodded and said, "That's a deal!" Lu Guichen got up from the bunk, walked silently to the door of the tent, facing the blue-gray felt curtain of the military tent.The sound of the hell killing field in the distance still hasn't stopped. After listening to it for a long time, I have an illusion that it is not five miles away, but far, far away in the sky.The sounds of metal and iron clashing on the battlefield, the neighing of horses, and screams were carried up to the sky by the wind, and then brought to my ears by the wind.

He didn't dare to think how many people would die in this battle, and he didn't want to raise the door curtain. The thick felt curtain seemed to be his only remaining layer of protection.Lu Guichen raised his hand, his fingers trembling.He lightly touched the inside of the curtain, as if he could feel the tangible chill, sorrow and despair on the opposite battlefield. The sound of horseshoes from far to near, the speed is extremely fast.Lu Guichen was stunned for a moment. At this time, there were only pack horses left in the supply camp, which could not be used for battle, but this hoofbeat was like thunder, and it was an extremely handsome and fierce horse.

Before he had time to do anything, the gray felt curtain fell off in one piece, like a collapsed wall, pressing on top of his head, almost at the same time Lu Guichen raised his head and saw the iron blue sword. The iron-blue knife light was wrapped in the door curtain, and it slammed down on Lu Guichen's top door with all its strength. A scarlet war horse stepped on the hanging door curtain with both hooves. The red armored warrior on its back was covered in blood, as if suddenly Transformed from the void into a real evil spirit. "It's Thunder Knight!" Ji Ye's roar hadn't ended yet, and the mournful wailing of the soldiers of the supply battalion had already sounded outside.

"Thunder Cavalry! Thunder Cavalry!" No one was shouting outside, but the shout was suddenly strangled in the throat. Lu Guichen was completely unprepared, he twisted his body with all his strength, and the knife that was supposed to split him in half just passed his shoulder.He didn't wear heavy armor, and the shoulder pads of the soft fur armor that he carried were peeled off with a piece of flesh and blood.The severe pain caused the strange force in his blood vessels to burst out instantly, and he punched the side of the horse's neck.Pei Mo Nengyu's strength was even unbearable to the thunder cavalry's crazy horse. After being pushed a foot away by his fist, the horse hissed wildly, foaming at the mouth and fell to the ground.Lu Guichen followed up with a knee blow, which immediately stunned the weakened Thunder Cavalry.

He looked back to the outside of the tent, and the sporadic thunder cavalry came from a distance, stepped into the unguarded supply camp, and then the density became more and more dense.The fiery red horses under the crotch of these capable thunder cavalry were bloodstained all over their bodies, and most of them were wounded by arrows, but they still hit the horse's buttocks with the back of their sabers, roaring and galloping, and met the fleeing Xia Tang sergeant. With a knife all over his body, he stepped across the barracks and fled towards the south without looking back. The thunder cavalry with the order galloped over without looking aside, blowing the horn horn vigorously on the horseback. "Our army... was defeated?!" Lu Guichen trembled all over. He thought that Shangyang Pass had been completely defeated, Bai Yi Xiyan's lore-killing formation failed to stop the Li army, and now the Li army's battle line has broken through to the Lanting Station five miles away. But time did not allow him to tremble, several Lei Qi had already discovered the tent where he was, and his attire was different from all the Tang soldiers, which immediately attracted Lei Qi's attention.Those riders turned their horses together and rushed towards Lu Guichen's direction. He didn't have the calmness and sharpness of Gu Yueyi when he faced Lei Qi, and he didn't have the chance to turn around and escape. The few Lei Qi who rushed close blocked all the possibilities of his escape in a nearly semicircular formation.Lu Guichen took a few steps back, almost desperate, and at the last moment, a flash of light flashed in his mind.He jumped up suddenly, grabbed the canopy of the military tent, and pulled it hard.The entire military tent completely collapsed, and the falling canopy was like a huge blue curtain, covering Lu Guichen's figure. The Thunder Riders lifted the reins fiercely, the horses jumped up, leaped over the collapsed tents, and their sabers slashed at the tents under their feet.The light of the knife almost hit Lu Guichen's nose, splitting the tent.The cold air from the knife seemed to stay on the tip of his nose, and Lu Guichen huddled under the tent, not daring to move, but his hand shook violently. He felt something in his hand, which happened to be a weapon—the ominous long knife "Shadow Moon"--it was said that it only shone like a full moon at the moment of killing.The palm of the hand holding the knife was full of cold sweat. The sound of horseshoes was chaotic, and the few war horses that had rushed past seemed to have turned around and came back again.Lei Qi was not prepared to easily let go of this young man with a distinctive identity. When he turned around, as long as the horse's hoof trampled on it, it would not be difficult to trample to death the person hiding below. The iron-clad hooves trampled crazily around, and if they stepped on any part of the body, the bones would break immediately.Lu Guichen felt that his heart was beating so fast that it was going to protrude from his chest. He held onto the dirt tightly and pressed his body close to the ground, fearing that if he couldn't help but jump up, he would give away his position. "Kill it!" Lei Qizhong's leader suddenly gave an order. "Killed?" Lu Guichen was stunned, he thought he had been discovered. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood the meaning of that long name. He had been forgetting one thing—there was another person in this tent! Himeno who cannot move. Lu Guichen shivered for a moment, and the cold sweat that was pent up in his body seemed to have opened the gate, and it was drained out in an instant.He jumped up and stood under the moonlight, just when he saw a red horse raised its front hooves and was about to step on it.And the face under the iron hoof was that boy with pitch-black pupils! Such a similarity, it's like that time they met in the narrow alley of the Eastern Palace, and that scene was replayed.Ji Ye's eyes were burning with cold fire, and Lu Guichen felt that he was frozen. "Is this the enemy?" Lu Guichen asked himself. "This is the enemy!" He heard a voice in his heart roaring. He still remembered his promise just a moment ago, that promise seemed to be recited aloud by someone in his heart, the voice was like a torrent of bells: "But we are good friends, as long as Lu Guichen? I won't let them step on your face!" He felt the heavy heartbeat in his chest suddenly lighten up, and at the same time, blood rushed into his head from his back with a dark sweetness. He rushed forward involuntarily. He charges!Draw the knife!roar!But he himself could not even hear his own deafening whistling! Chief Lei Qi was first startled by a "buzz", he keenly felt that it was a weapon being unsheathed, and then a terrible roar came from the back of his head.He was about to watch the enemy's brains splatter, but the war horse was startled by the roar, and it flicked its hooves in the air without stepping on it.Shi Chang turned his head in shock, looked up to the sky, and saw a bright moon in the sky. In the almost full moon, a shadow fell down like a big eagle. The weapon in the man's hand was glowing faintly, as bright as the full moon! "How can people jump so high?" This thought only flashed in Shi Chang's mind, and his human head was separated from his body, and the huge horse head was attached. The horse and human corpses fell heavily beside Ji Ye, spattering his body with blood.When he looked up, he could just see Lu Guichen standing with a knife in his hand, his brown eyes were blank. The hot blood stuck to his hands, as if his whole body was sticky.The human head was still under his feet, and the eyes were not closed.Lu Guichen shuddered fiercely, and slowly looked at the long knife in his hand, covered with a layer of hot blood, it seemed that this evil weapon really shone with a terrifying moonlight. "It's so simple...just kill a person..." He stumbled back a few steps. It wasn't fear or joy, he just felt that he was unable to think anymore, and fell down the dark abyss, never reaching the bottom. "Asule, back!" Ji Ye yelled. Lu Guichen woke up suddenly.After five years of practice, Qingyang's big sword, Xiyan's two-handed sword technique, the teacher behind the curtain's cutting jade power, and the fierce killing technique have long been deeply planted in his heart, as if a gradually growing demon, once broken Once this barrier is removed, nothing can stop them.Lu Guichen swung his saber around, and with a flat slash, the long saber ruthlessly sank into the belly of the cavalry behind him.Lu Guichen didn't stop, he was depressed, he pressed the handle of the knife with both hands and pushed it with all his strength!The war horse was completely disemboweled, and one of the Thunder Cavalry's calves fell off. "Asule!" Ji Ye shouted, Lu Guichen flew up again like a shadow moon eagle, and slashed at the next enemy in the air. He rushed out and never looked back.
