Quick Wear: The Beautiful, Strong and Tragic Path of a Swordsman

He turned around and saw a kind and smiling face. He said in a trembling voice, "Grandpa Xu..."

"I couldn't rush to the door to stop you from coming in, but now you can't turn back."

Mayor Xu had completely lost his human form, only his face still looked human. His eyes, which had returned to their normal color, were filled with care and love for the younger generation. "Before Grandpa left, you were only as tall as Grandpa's waist. Now you've grown so tall."

Tang Ze opened his mouth, but his lips trembled and he couldn't speak.

"Grandpa doesn't have time to talk to you anymore. Please listen carefully to everything Grandpa says." Mayor Xu's eyes were gradually turning red again, and his voice became hurried. "I can't tell you the truth directly, but please believe Xiaoyan, okay? He is a good boy, always has been."

"He and you are both grandpa's pride."

......

Xu Yan, who entered the plot line again, immediately looked for that person, but he couldn't find him. For a moment, he was a little confused. Wasn't this plot line prepared for Tang Ze? How come he arrived first when the protagonist hadn't arrived yet?

With a bang, the office door was violently pushed open. Shandao rushed into the office indignantly, slammed his hands on his desk in frustration, and roared, "Do you really dare to write a letter of denunciation and go back to complain?!"

Xu Yan tilted his head slightly with a puzzled look on his face and said, "I told you, it's just you who didn't take it seriously."

Shandao grabbed Xu Yan's collar, pulled him up from his chair, raised his fist and was about to hit him in the face, but was stopped by a delicate shout.

"Yamashima-kun! What are you doing?!"

Shandao became flustered instantly when he heard the voice. He awkwardly put down his raised fist and turned to look at the girl at the door.

The girl was wearing a white long dress with a cinched waist and a small round collar with lace edges. A press card was tucked into her neck. The name on the card was: Maeda Kaori.

Tang Ze never expected that this time he would not play the adjutant named Aikawa again, but entered the perspective of Maeda Kaori.

That's right, it's the perspective. He can only watch and can't do anything else.

"Ms. Kaori, don't get me wrong. I was just joking with Mizuki-kun." A very lame excuse.

But Xu Yan could understand it. After all, one would always speak without thinking because of nervousness in front of the person he liked.

If the person you like happens to like you, she will think you are cute, but if she doesn't like you, she will just think you are stupid and annoying.

Just like now.

Maeda Kaori glared at Shandao angrily, then quickly walked to Xu Yan's side and asked softly with concern, "Yanjun, I heard that you were injured. Is the wound safe? Does it still hurt?"

Xu Yan shook his head to show that he was fine, and then asked, "Why are you here? Although this is considered the rear, it is still very dangerous."

After saying that, he pointed at himself and teased, "Even someone as strong as me got hurt, and you dare to come here."

Hearing this, Maeda Kaori turned around and glared at the hesitant Shandao, even showing her little fangs, "Yamashima-kun, I didn't expect you to be such a person, I misjudged you!"

Shandao didn't expect Xu Yan to be so high-ranking. He glared at Xu Yan fiercely, but immediately became gentle when he looked at Maeda Kaori. "Ms. Kaori, that was a necessary sacrifice. All of this was for the Yingfu and the overall situation. Besides, as soldiers, sacrificing our lives for the Fu is our most glorious destiny."

Maeda Kaori still bared her teeth and spoke sharply, "Yamashima-kun, don't change the concept. If you really have this kind of awareness, why don't you be the bait yourself, but let others sacrifice at their expense."

Shandao was speechless, but he still didn't think he had done anything wrong. Moreover, although this man was now registered as a member of their Yingfu, it did not change the fact that he was a member of Longfu, and no one from Longfu could be trusted.

Shandao was driven away by Maeda Kaori, but before leaving, he looked at Xu Yan with such vicious eyes that it seemed as if he was saying: I won't let you die easily.

Xu Yan just smiled at him, and that contemptuous smile made Shandao almost bite his teeth off.

Kaori walked over and closed the office door, leaving only the two of them in the room. The room was well soundproofed, and the moment the door was closed, even the footsteps coming and going in the corridor could no longer be heard.

And everyone knew that it was Maeda-kun's fiancée, Ms. Maeda Kaori, who was visiting, so no one would be so tactless as to disturb them.

Tang Ze didn't want to continue watching, but he couldn't control this body, so he could only prepare himself mentally and be ready to watch his former lover fall in love with someone else.

However, the scene was completely different from what he expected.

He heard the worry in the girl's voice grow stronger, as if she no longer had any concerns when there was no one else talking. "Yanjun, your current situation is already very dangerous, why do you always go and provoke Shandaojun?"

Xu Yan did not answer the question, but covered the wound on his collarbone and said weakly, "Kaori, please help me get some painkillers. They are in the cabinet next to the clock."

Upon hearing this, Kaori immediately rushed to get him some medicine, her tone full of disapproval and heartache, "That bullet broke your collarbone directly, and you almost bled too much to be saved. Do you understand how serious your injury is?"

Xu Yan twisted the bottle of painkillers with great effort. The injury to his left clavicle made it impossible for him to use his entire left hand. According to the doctor, he would need to be hospitalized and rest in bed for a long time, but he couldn't.

Not only was he unable to rest, he also had to hide the severity of his injuries and return to work, relying entirely on painkillers to keep going.

Tang Ze was stunned when Kaori told him about Xu Yan's injury. Last time when he played Xiangchuan, he didn't realize that this person was injured so badly. How painful it must be, but this person could still chat and laugh with him without changing his expression...

However, before Tang Ze could come to his senses, Xu Yan's next words were like a sharp blade that pierced deeply into his soul, causing him to feel a pain as if he was being torn apart alive.

"You know, I have no way to retreat. My compatriots are behind me." Xu Yan was obviously injured by the mountain island. At this moment, the pain made his hair wet with cold sweat. His cold eyes were a little unfocused. His voice was so soft that he seemed to be mumbling to himself, "I must participate in the operation tomorrow. Now the news can't be spread at all. Only tomorrow will I have a chance. I will save as many people as I can."

Kaori's voice was filled with tears, and her voice was very soft, "What if your current state is exposed? You have lost almost everything to get to this point, and those people want to kill you."

Xu Yan just smiled indifferently, the faith in his eyes did not waver at all, "When I first embarked on this road, I was prepared to face all of this. Besides, I have no intention of losing everything. I still have countless comrades, as well as you and your father. Believe me, I will not do anything without confidence, and I will be fine."

When he said the last sentence, Xu Yan looked straight at Kaori.

Looking at him through Kaori's eyes, Tang Ze had an absurd idea in his mind - Xu Yan was not looking at Kaori, but at him, and before that, he was not looking at Aikawa, but at him.
