Chen Geguang was born in the "Nanhuai Chen family", a prominent family and a direct descendant of the Chen family. If he followed the original path safely and steadily, then he would have a smooth career as a Beijing official.
However, he has stayed in the great desert of Guazhou for more than ten years with the bitter westerly wind blowing.
It's just because he went to worship his friend with wine at that time.
How did he say to his father at that time, oh, "What is wrongdoing? Seeing this upside down, seeing a friend die in vain and then saving one's life, this is wrongdoing"—what a generous statement! What a man, what a sense of loyalty!
How funny! !
"Mr. Yan? Mr. Yan!"
Chen Geguang gritted his teeth in the dark, staring fixedly at the familiar face that was revealed after the mask fell off.
The young master of the Liu family on Yunshang, his close friend, Liu Yan.
The friend who died in the fire! That friend who is always handsome and full of worries!
what!
Why did he know that he went, even if his future was ruined, he still went? Wasn't it because he was angry at the unjust death of the Liu family, and because his innocent friend died at the right time for an unwarranted crime. He hated these messy so-called "trade-offs."
These bloody, disgusting, black and white things.
The results of it? The results of it
The result is that he thought that his dead friend was actually alive and well. In his memory, he walked across the stone bridge wearing a dark coat and held an umbrella, and saw the compassionate face of the refugees. What kind of bastard did the young master of the Liu family turn into? What kind of bastard did the Liu Yan he knew become
Wearing a shameful mask, he acted as a secret guard of the royal family, because a single word from an ordinary person could burn that person to ashes with black fire without blinking an eye.
Chen Geguang clearly remembered the night when he set out to Guazhou Ghost City, the soldier on the city wall only said two words "presumptuous", and black flames rose from his body, and he was burned to ashes in a blink of an eye.
The kind of violent guy who can kill ordinary people at will, Mr. Yan, the guy who can watch the thousands of cavalrymen of the First Army on the left side of Quanjie die in the yellow sand, and the guy with a calm expression—if he can, he can't wait to draw his sword The guy who died is actually his friend
When did his friend become such an asshole
"Mr. Yan? What a Mr. Yan!"
Chen Geguang clenched his fists tightly.
He cursed almost hysterically.
— It doesn't make sense anymore.
Everything is a joke.
His determination to carry wine to condolences is a joke, the ten years he spent in the yellow sands of Guazhou with no future in sight is a joke, and his insistence on justice is a fucking joke.
Because he couldn't see black and white being reversed, he resolutely went to the ruins of the Liu family where the fire was still burning, drank like an idiot, and drunk like an idiot.
As a result, the guy he fought for had become one of those people whose black and white were turned upside down.
Chen Geguang didn't know how Liu Yan survived. Obviously, the Liu family was in ruins, and Jin Tang's hidden guards tracked and killed all Liu family members like wolves. No matter how Liu Yan survived, or why he became the royal family's hidden guard, it will not change the fact.
Liu Yan became Mr. Yan.
He became a person Chen Geguang hated as much as Liu Yan did back then.
Killing an insignificant person casually, sacrificing many people without changing his face, just to achieve an unknown purpose—how much Liu Yan and he hated such a guy back then! But in the end, how did he become such a person
There is no so-called reunion after a long absence, the joy of friends not dying.
Only endless ridicule.
Chen Geguang only felt that he heard his father's sneer at the beginning. What was father laughing at? Laugh at his innocence or his ignorance? All are wise, only he is like a fool.
In the dark, Chen Geguang didn't know what he was cursing.
I just find it incomparably... ridiculous.
"Hahaha!"
He laughed out loud, which was worse than crying, he clenched his fists, his face twisted almost ferociously, angry or sad, or something else
"Go to hell!"
In the dark, ancient imperial city buried by history, the world seemed to let out its unkind laughter.
Chen Geguang wanted to draw out his knife.
Want to chop up all those disgusting things, want to chop up all the hypocrisy and disgusting things. But he can give up his own future and drink on the ruins after the fire, not knowing that his friend will become a jerk; , but cannot change the world.
He swung his knife at the whole world, but the knife fell into the air.
Whether it is justice or principle, it is a joke in front of the world.
And he couldn't do anything but yell.
Liu Yan held Ye Mingzhu without saying a word, and let Chen Geguang yell at her.
"You fucking talk! Didn't you win every time before?" Chen Geguang said hoarsely, he was almost roaring, but his voice was so low that he could barely hear it.
He was so angry, but his voice was so low.
talk! talk!
Refute him!
Chen Geguang remembered that every time he argued with Liu Yan, Liu Yan always won. Liu Yan is a well-known talent in the capital, he is well-educated and talented, and he always hits the nail on the head, refusing him to the point of being speechless.
Such a person who speaks like a knife, why doesn't he speak
As before, refute him and let him know that he is wrong! That way, the ten years he stayed in the yellow sand would not look like a joke.
But Liu Yan didn't say a word, his face seemed to be stiff, and the knuckles of the hand holding Ye Mingzhu turned white.
Like dumb.
Chen Geguang let go of his hands and stopped cursing. He turned around and walked towards the darkness step by step.
This is the royal city of Namu, the royal city of the ancient emperor in the Chaos Era. There are tall cavalry here, and there is a fire that can burn people to the bone. The darkness in front is as dark as a viscous liquid. Countless killing opportunities. He is not a cultivator, holding a knife that is useless in front of this kind of power, he is just an ant here.
But so what? So what!
Fuck it, fuck it.
"Don't wander around."
Liu Yan finally spoke, his voice was very low.
"none of your business."
Chen Ge's bald head didn't turn back, and scolded.
Now he is not at all like a man from a famous family, no different from a soldier who lives in Guazhou with the desert all day long.
That's right, he's not the young master of the Chen family, he's not the queen of some damn famous family.
He was the commander of the first army of Quanjie left wing in Guazhou, and the general of those soldiers who had never read any books and didn't know what "the way of a saint" was.
Chen Geguang thought of the young soldier who was burned to ashes by the black fire.
Back then he saved the life of that little soldier in the desert, so even in the face of Mr. Yan who seemed to have the power of a ghost, he was willing to draw out his knife and scold him for being presumptuous. As for the cavalry in Guazhou, most of them are illiterate, but because he governs Guazhou with all his heart, even if he is afraid of the forbidden area called ghost town, he is willing to step in with him.
In the end, they were all buried in the yellow sand.
The death is unclear.
Chen Geguang grinned and laughed.
So he scolded Mr. Yan so angrily—oh no, Liu Yan—what was it? Wasn't he the one who led the soldiers who trusted him and led them to a dead end? Knowing that what the royal family's secret guards are performing must not be a safe task, isn't he still obeying the secret order
Even he himself lived a despicable life.
"I'd rather you were dead."
Before completely walking into the darkness, Chen Geguang stopped and said something suddenly.
His tone was no longer excited, no longer angry.
Calm as stagnant water.
Liu Yan didn't speak.
He lay on the ground, watching his friend who had always been unscrupulous and unscrupulous walked into the deep darkness with a knife.
"what."
He lowered his eyes and looked at the night pearl in his hand.
He also laughed.
"you're right."
Liu Yan spoke in a low voice, and he let go of Ye Mingzhu's hand. Ye Mingzhu fell and rolled on the ground, the sound was very crisp.
Chen Geguang's last sentence is true.
He, too, wished that he might as well be dead.
People are not as good as ghosts.
Liu Yan laughed hoarsely, lying on the cold ground, coughing up blood with a smile.
He wanted to stop Chen Geguang from leaving, but he couldn't stand up anymore. The knife that was thrown out just now and exploded in mid-air was his natal weapon.
What is a natal weapon
That is equivalent to his life.
"He's about to die like that."
Suddenly someone made a sound in the darkness.
The fire suddenly lit up, and a person stood not far from them.
Liu Yan recognized that it was Taishangzong's elder brother, Ye Qiusheng. He has encountered this person many times in some secret realms related to the era, and has fought many times.
He is a very dangerous person.
"It's a pity. I wanted to save you, but I didn't have the ability. If you have any last words, you can listen to them. One of the leaders of Jin Tang's hidden guards, the young master of the Liu family."
Ye Qiusheng came over.
"Don't let him die."
Liu Yan's expression returned to calm, and he looked like a son of a prominent family again, calm and unhurried. A bronze medal appeared in his hand. He will throw the bronze medal to Ye Qiusheng.
"I know you're looking for this thing. Here it is."
Ye Qiusheng didn't answer.
"Although I want to, I can't guarantee that this kind of ghost place can be done."
He is telling the truth.
"I know."
Liu Yan looked calm. He had sensed that someone was standing not far away, and the other party locked him, so he let Chen Geguang go out. When Ye Qiusheng walked out, he was relieved instead.
"So, if you can, save him."
Liu Yan's voice lowered little by little.
He threw things at Ye Qiusheng as if gambling.
Ye Qiusheng took the bronze medal, turned around and left.
Liu Yan raised his head and lay on the ground.
he died.
With many unknown secrets.
