"Mr. Li, look, how about this, isn't it more heroic?"

Standing in front of Li Si, Ying Zheng opened his hands, wearing a black robe and a long sword hanging from his waist. Vertex Novel Updates Fastest

Pulling the neckline from time to time, and trimming the waistband again and again, he is a handsome young man, but he still frowns, always feeling that he is inappropriate.

Li Si sat on his couch, looked at Ying Zheng silently, and smiled wryly: "Master, you don't have to be so formal, right?"

The battle report came from South Korea, Xingyang Chenggao had been captured, Meng Ao was stationed, and the trapped army returned to Xianyang to return.

According to King Qin's meaning, there should be another important matter for Gu Nan to take care of, but this does not prevent her from going back to Xianyang City.

If nothing else, it should arrive today.

Gong Zizheng, who had known the news early, didn't have the mind to go to class at all, which made Li Si helpless. He was just a book teacher, not a real teacher, but he couldn't control King Qin. Um, even if he is Mr. Da, he might not be able to control it.

"Why not?" Ying Zheng didn't find any problems, patted his clothes with satisfaction and said, "Mr. Gu has returned from a big victory. As a student, I naturally can't lose my style."

As he spoke, he raised his head, as if he was the one who returned home with a big victory.

Youthful mind.

Li Si smiled helplessly and shook his head.

Looking down at the bamboo slips in his hand, he picked up the pen and changed a few pictures, the tip of the pen landed on a spot and stopped, frowning.

Immediately, his brows loosened and circled.

Well, these points can be discussed with Mr. Gu at that time.

Li Si had very few acquaintances in Xianyang City, let alone friends and confidants. When he was studying in the past, he was mostly alone. But since working with Gu Nan, he often discusses with Gu Nan.

It's a lot less boring than being alone.

The stragglers arrived outside the city after noon.

When Ying Zheng received the news, he and Li Si happily rode towards the city gate. When they walked up the city wall, they happened to see the fallen army.

The gate of Xianyang City opened slowly, and the trapped army, led by a white-robed general, walked into the city.

There was no appearance of the army returning from a great victory as expected, and there were no cheering and envious people on both sides of the street, let alone greet each other.

Some were just people fleeing one after another, and there was a gloomy and depressing atmosphere.

Pedestrians on the road buried their heads and left immediately when they saw the army. Occasionally, a few people stopped to watch, and their eyes were nothing but uneasiness and fear.

That thousand-man team looked like a ghost army, with a heavy evil spirit and a bloody smell that could be smelled from afar.

The spears and daggers in their hands and the armor and clothes were stained with dried brown blood, and the visors carved with beast-like patterns on their faces made them look even more ferocious. The same is true for the white-robed general leading the battle, the blood on the white robe is very glaring.

The crowd seemed to pay attention to the fear of the people around them, lowered their heads slightly, tried their best to suppress the ferocity of fighting outside, and walked in silence.

But wherever they go, people still avoid them like tigers.

The originally joyful smile on Ying Zheng's face, who was standing at the top of the wall, gradually faded away.

Gently resting his hands on the edge of the city, he watched the passers-by and the common people look like they were avoiding the plague god.

Look at those soldiers who are afraid to walk with their heads up, for fear of scaring others.

Looking at the figure in the white robe who was leading the front, it looked a little thin.

The sergeants who returned from great victories, but no one praised their achievements, and no one admired their magnificence.

All he got was fearful looks from everyone, and even disgusted treatment.

When the ordinary army returns, it is still possible to see relatives coming to watch. But the soldiers who fell into the army were different. Their family members only thought that they were still on death row and had died before they had served their service and were discharged.

When Li Si saw Ying Zheng's appearance, he just stood beside him. He had seen such things too many times, and he felt helpless in his heart.

"It's not fair."

As Ying Zheng said, he slowly clenched his hands on the city wall.

"It's not fair." Li Si nodded.

"But this is your choice, Mr. Gu."

"It's also the choice of the fallen army."

"Your Majesty, return from the battle, the general is already waiting outside."

Ying Zichu stood by the pond in the palace, watching the slow-moving fish holding some bait in their hands.

A eunuch came in and stood bent over beside him.

"Huh?" Ying Zichu heard that it was Gu Nan, and smiled casually: "Let her in."

Grabbed some bait and threw it into the pond.

The slow-moving fish rushed over to fight for the bait.

The eunuch retreated.

"Tap Tat Tat." Some dull footsteps sounded in the corridor.

Gu Nan walked up wearing a helmet.

"I have seen the king."

Ying Zichu glanced at Gu Nan who was wrapped in armor and helmet, shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "My General Gu, there is no need to be so fully dressed in the palace, right?"

Gu Nan shook his head at the words, untied the armor on his head, took it off and hugged it to the side.

"Your Majesty laughed."

"Farewell." Ying Zichu put the bait aside, leaned against the railing, covered his mouth, and coughed.

"Maybe you're scolding me in your heart. There's no one else here. Let's just talk in a simple way. It's very tiring to act like a king."

Gu Nan pursed her lips and relaxed her stiff shoulders.

He also leaned on the railing, looked down at the fish fighting for food in the pond, and heard Ying Zichu cough hard.

"Is your cough still okay?"

"Don't talk about it, you're sick of work." Ying Zichu smiled, took the bait box back, and sprinkled some fish food into the pond.

"If possible, I really don't want to be King Qin."

After speaking, he looked Gu Nan up and down.

"I said, you don't change your clothes when you come to the palace?"

Gu Nan lowered his head and looked at himself, the mourning white robe was mixed with reddish-brown bloodstains, there was nothing he could do about it, and there was no place to wash clothes in the army, if it didn't stink, Gu Nan paid attention to cleaning and often used clean water Wipe it down for a reason.

Spreading his hands: "Isn't this the one you rushed to call me into the palace?"

"And dressed like this, I feel more powerful as a general."

Ying Zichu grinned: "Indeed, with your own appearance, you should not be able to scare even the enemy on the battlefield."

"Hey"

Being exposed face to face, Gu Nan's face turned dark, and he muttered: "It's impossible to chat like this."

Ying Zichu laughed and turned to look at Gu Nan.

"Do you know Hangu Pass?"

Cough cough, the oral English test is due, and I have to review it, so there is only one update. Speaking of which, it's almost the end of the term, and I don't feel it at all.
