Hua Yi's expression didn't change, he just stared at the small note without moving.
Everyone wondered how densely packed that note was, which was only a little bigger than a palm, and how many things were written on it, so much so that their King of the East China Sea took more than a stick of incense to see through it. Don't you mean to let go
Lu Quan couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, but he just looked at Hua Yi's appearance of lowering his head as if he couldn't read, and then looked down at the messenger who was lying dead on the ground. How to ask—Lu Quan really hated himself, when it was time for him to speak, he couldn't think of what to say, and when he thought about it, the day lily was cold.
It would be great if... Suo Laimu was here.
Hua Yi seemed to have lost his sense of time. When he felt that his hands were numb, and he had stood there for an unknown how long, he stuffed the note into his arms expressionlessly, and even wanted to show it to others. He didn't mean anything, then turned around and went back to the tent without saying a word, and closed the door behind him, leaving a group of people there looking at each other in confusion.
Until then, Hua Yi's mind was numb and blank.
Thinking about it carefully, his whole life was changed because of one person.
He was supposed to be a child of a noble family who was neither high nor low, but after he grew up carefree, he ate and waited to die every day. , Just like this until he grows old, he becomes a slippery old fox who can only pretend to be stupid.
It was Jing Chu who drove him to a desperate situation.
Jing Chu shattered the first half of his life, told him to leave his hometown, survive death, struggle in the cracks, and force him again and again to a place where he could not retreat, and then desperately survived. Like shedding its skin, it becomes stronger in all kinds of pain.
Jing Chu was the shadow that had weighed on his heart for a lifetime, pouring cold water on him when he was proud of the spring breeze, and stabbing him hard when he felt that he was about to be unable to go on.
Hua Yi always thinks that one day, he will become invincible in the world, then it is time to conquer the greatest enemy in his life. He thinks this day is still far away, just like his life is still very long, he thinks I still have a long time to plan, until the clothes are perfect, and I will never lose again when I face this person... But I didn't expect that Jing Chu would suddenly appear in front of him at such a moment when he was caught off guard.
The fear and hatred left over from his fledgling childhood are still deep in his bones, and sometimes Hua Yi himself can't tell which of the two is more deeply rooted.
These twenty years... really seem like floating clouds and a dream.
In a trance, Hua Yi took out the note that was like a bolt from the blue again. The nightmare that made him vomit a mouthful of blood that night seemed to be intertwined with the ominous note, causing his hands to tremble unconsciously.
But twenty years have passed, and every time that person appears, it gives him heartache.
Probably... In a person's life, there will always be such an old enemy like a thorn in the throat, a thorn in the eye, and a thorn in the eye. It's time to end it, Hua Yi thought, sooner or later he and Jing Chu will have a showdown, and sooner or later they will die.
Hua Yi's face faded to blood in one moment, and then turned from white to red in the next moment, until both eyes were filled with blood.
"Jingchu is not dead, I really would rather die than live." Hua Yi suddenly said this to himself in the empty tent, his fingers forcefully poked a hole in the hard leather with writing on it , the handwriting was quickly blurred by his rubbing, and the blood vessels throbbed violently. This time, without strong alcohol, his blood boiled by itself.
After the initial panic and confusion passed, he had completely cooled down at this time, and gradually retreated from his body. The hostility accumulated in his body little by little over the years surged uncontrollably, and Hua Yi's teeth were bitten and creaked without his noticing.
The lines of his cheeks were so tight that they were almost blue.
Lu Quan, who had been walking around like ants in a hot pot outside for countless times, was startled when he suddenly saw Hua Yi push open the door and show his face.
Hua Yi beckoned to him, and Lu Quan walked over in confusion.
"king?"
"Tonight, tell everyone to eat their fill. Prepare dry food and bring it with you. We'll set off tomorrow morning." Hua Yi said calmly, with his hands behind his back, as if he had already thought about it thoroughly.
Lu Quan glanced at him hesitantly: "... yes."
However, at the next moment, Lu Quan heard Hua Yi suddenly laughed lowly, and said softly in a barely audible voice: "This time I will take off his skin and make a human skin chair to put on the table." In the king's tent, I don't know if the human leather chair is soft or not."
Lu Quan: "..."
There was a smile on the corner of Hua Yi's mouth, but his eyes were cold. After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Quan. His eyes were made of stone, and there was no light in them. He turned and walked into the camp.
Lu Quan opened his mouth, and the doubts and confusion in his mind crowded together, almost trampling on each other, the chaos was like a bush trampled by a thousand wild boars, and no one could say a word. After several failed attempts, he once again thought desperately, why isn't Suo Laimu here
How could a rough man like him do such a thing as a counselor
However, it is also said that anyone will come, just when Lu Quan's eyes were dark, a guard suddenly ran in, took out a dirty letter from his arms, raised his hands over his head and handed it to Lu Quan, panting and authentic : "Elder, this is a letter from the Great Elder from the north!"
Lu Quan seemed to have received instructions from the gods. He hurriedly said that he was lucky, and took it with both hands like a god. Impatiently, he cut off the cowhide band binding the letter with a knife, and then unfolded the leather of the bread.
After a long journey, the handwriting on it has been a little worn out, but it is not difficult to read. Suo Laimu wrote: "If the king comes to the battlefield in person, please be careful and keep him safe. In any case, wait for my second letter to be delivered." Only then can we start.”
There was no single word to tell him what to do, but instead he was given an impossible task.
Lu Quan's eyes almost turned black—this life-saver is not here to save lives, but to deceive people!
Regarding this matter, Lu Quan thought for a long time, and finally came up with a perfect solution—he walked into Huayi's tent, handed Suolaimu's note to Huayi, and then hung it up high as if he had nothing to do with himself. Standing aside without saying a word, waiting for the result of the distant conversation between the king and the great elder across the extreme north.
He didn't wait for a long time. Hua Yi was silent for only a moment after reading the scene, and put Suolaimu's letter on the flames and burned it clean.
"Send troops as usual." The corners of his mouth were tense, and he said crisply, "Suolaimu... he knows nothing!"
Lu Quan was about to distinguish, but Hua Yi interrupted him before he could speak.
Hua Yi said without looking at him: "Let me ask you, when a man is born in this world, should he carry red tape and plan all day long, or pick up your knife and gun, show your minions, and hack Break your enemy's neck?"
Lu Quan was choked by him at once, and after a while, Lu Quan bowed without saying a word: "Yes, I will call someone to prepare immediately!"
The bad nature of orcs cannot be tolerated.
Hua Yi looked at his back when he turned to go out, and suddenly remembered that when he was still young, his father took his eldest brother out and left him and his third brother to take care of his second brother, Jing Chu, who treated them very well at that time , gentle and patient, the third brother was soon lulled to sleep by the food he fed, only the little Hua Yi woke up and refused to close his eyes, quietly playing with a wooden chipped ball by himself.
Jing Chu saw that he had a gentle temper, so he sat on the side and lost his mind. Since he was a boy, he always thought about many things, a bit like Suo Laimu, until Xiao Huayi accidentally dropped the ball on his lap. on the legs.
Jing Chu picked up the ball and handed it to him gently. Hua Yi reached out to catch it, revealing the silver animal pattern on his hand.
At that time, his lovable but always strange elder brother looked at the silver streak with complicated complexion, and said these few words to him, until many years later, Hua Yi still remembers them with deep impression by chance.
He said: "You know, I heard from the old man that long ago, there were no orcs in the world. They were either humans or beasts, and no one would become the other. They can't become humans, they are not that smart, only humans can become beasts, so that they can forget the shame of being human, and who they are, and pretend that they are invincible, don't you think it's ridiculous? Orcs... It's an unbearable thing."
Orcs are a horrible thing, angry and impulsive, full of undisguised, dirty desires to defile or usurp good things, or bite each other for resources that make their lives better , or flirting on all fours for something you can't get.
Maybe Jing Chu is right, he really understands the hearts of these seemingly powerful orcs better than anyone else.
Like Luda's heart.
It wasn't until Lu Quan told the crowd to disperse that Lu Da returned to his single tent, and then he opened his sweaty palm, holding a small package. This is the thing that the messenger secretly stuffed into his hand before he died. It is the other party's person, why does he know himself? Why give yourself this
Could it be... Could it be that Ah Shu is really...
No, it's impossible, what can such a weak girl do? Who would let her run to the enemy's city alone as an internal response? Who would be so cruel to ask her to make such a senseless sacrifice
Luda's heart beat violently.
He sat for a long while, his mind was full of thoughts, and finally, he mustered up the courage to open the small package, and then he was suddenly stunned.
I saw a bead inside, with small claws on the bottom, the workmanship is exquisite, a woman can wear it on her head without hurting her hair, it is a rare East China Sea bead, Lu Da touched it with her own hands Come up, give it to Ah Shu with your own hands, and put it on her head.
The beads were stained with blood because there was something else in the bag—a bloodstained fingernail that looked as if it had been ripped from a living hand.
Lu Da turned the small package over and studied it for a long time, and finally found a line of small words in a hidden place on the inside of the package, which said: "Ah Shu is dead."
Lu Da was stunned as if struck by lightning.
