"You are here."

Tang Xuan turned his head, and Chiyo, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, stood behind him.

The horses were tired from driving all night. Gu Jinian said that after a short rest before setting off, he would probably be able to meet Ji Yunqian at dawn.They stopped at a village, and there was a meadow in the distance, where they sat and rested.

This is a protracted battle, which may take five to ten years. If this battle is won, the Lingqiu Kingdom will definitely remember their great kindness, and the two countries can maintain harmony. At least when Gu Jinian is in power, the other party will obey.

"Well... have you eaten? I just heard that you are very hungry."

"Eat some..."

The men and women who used to quarrel before saying a few words felt that they were talking forcibly. Tang Xuan became very strange since Shishi knew the truth and left the palace.

"My brother . . . didn't write me back."

Chiyo didn't want to ask him what happened that day, the man didn't want others to know, so it was useless for her to ask.

"The Kazama family must not receive him now. He is very angry, so he ignored you."

Tang Xuan stared at the stream, and there were several fish swimming in the clear stream.

"No... In the past, no matter what, even if it was a few words of sarcasm, he would reply, but not this time."

"Oh? Then what did you tell him?"

Takizawa Keigo fled to the country of Wa, and Chiyo was afraid that he would cause trouble in other countries, so he asked the hospitable Kazama family to pay more attention to him, and also told the onmyoji what he did.

but.

"I told him that no matter what happens, the door of the house will always be open for him."

She misses him very much.

"You really love your brother."

Chiyo smiled.

"Although he always bullied me since he was a child, every time I was bullied by others, he would always beat those people up, and then said annoyingly, 'My sister is the only one who can bully me!', I have several times I was so moved that tears came out, and he would suddenly turn around and pinch my face and call me a stupid pig."

He obviously loved his sister that way when he was a child, but why did he become like this now?

"why?"

Chiyo muttered to himself and read out the words in his heart.

Tang Xuan looked sideways at her, and his soft voice was like the wind blowing across the stream.

"Maybe it's power. I always thought he would be the new leader of the Wugu clan."

Chiyo didn't answer, it was the default.

"Then..." Chiyo looked at Tang Xuan for a long time, the man was still staring at the stream, but he was obviously not looking for fish.

"Ok?"

"What about you, why haven't you come to see me recently?"

".....I am very busy."

"Liar."

Tang Xuan opened his mouth, but still didn't answer.

"What did His Majesty tell you?"

"It's nothing, you don't have to worry about it."

Tang Xuan turned his head, just in time to meet Qiandai's bright eyes.

——["Today in real history, the Yanzhu Kingdom has perished, and the Wugu Clan has also been destroyed. The new king is the prince of Lingqiu Kingdom, and your Tang family has also suffered."]

Gu Jinian's words crashed into his mind suddenly.

Yanzhu country is dead.

Chiyo is dead.

"Is it about the 'Butterfly Effect'? What do you know?"

The woman looked into his eyes and asked word by word.

They were very close, and the hot breath of the man's breath sprayed on her forehead.

"You'd better not know."

After a long time, the man said such a sentence.

He turned and left, heading towards the direction of Gu Jinian's army, when the woman behind him suddenly yelled, telling him to stand still.

"If being with me makes you unsure if it's within the scope of the 'butterfly effect', will you give up on me?"

He never replied.

The strong wind blew, and the woman's long hair covered her face.

The voice came from the wind and dissipated in the ear.

"meeting."

I only heard the man answer like this.

The sky was getting dark, and Ji Yunqian came to the barracks.

The gate of the city was opened early, if there were King Ling's spies at the gate, they probably already knew that reinforcements would come.

Quartz has been very quiet these two days. At first Ji Yungan was afraid that he would do something radical, but the boy was very obedient, and he could eat whatever he was given, without making any noise.

After that day, Ji Yunqian talked to him a lot, and he told him, Gu Jinian is not what you think, he may have something to hide, the boy didn't reply, Ji Yungan wondered if he was thinking about it, so he didn't Don't bother him anymore.

Ji Yungan, who was still thinking about the quartz, was reminded by the soldiers on the side and saw flickering flames in the distance. He realized that it was Gu Jinian who had arrived, and immediately organized his troops to greet him.

Not only did Gu Jinian come in person, he also brought along a voodoo master and Taoist master from Yanzhu Kingdom.

When he saw Takizawa Chiyo, Ji Yunqian's face was not very good. He now has a lot of opinions on the Wugu people.

"Marshal Ji, look forward to it for a long time."

Tang Xuan stretched out his hand as a friendly gesture, and Ji Yunqian shook it back.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you." Chiyo could see what was going on in the man's heart. She came here this time to wipe her brother's ass.

"... Please come inside, I've been tired for a few days, let's take a rest."

The sky gradually turned gray, and the soldiers stayed up all night to welcome the emperor of Yanzhu Kingdom. They couldn't believe that Yanzhu, who had been an enemy for many years, would come to the rescue.

The dead men had been waiting in front of the camp early on. It was a team of 50 people specially formed to protect the emperor. There was a flag on Gu Jinian's tent with the words "Gu" on it. The tent was very large and better than Ji Yun It's even more luxurious.

As for why Gu Jinian used the word 'luxury', it is true that at first glance, the appearance is much larger than the small tent on the side, and the soldiers of Lingqiu Kingdom stationed at the gate also stood straight and straight, without letting up for a moment .

But these tents...are all the characteristics of Lingqiu country. Living here, will Shishi remember all the bad memories.

Thinking of this, he became more impatient, but he dared not go to Quartz, he was afraid that his boy would run away.

"Quartz is still sleeping, you... are you going to see him?"

Ji Yunqian stood beside him, and when the leaders discussed tactics, there were only four people in the huge tent.

Gu Jinian, Ji Yunqian, Tang Xuan, and Takizawa Chiyo.

"I'm afraid he'll lose his temper when he wakes up."

"He can't see, you just don't need to speak." The marshal was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, so he hurriedly added: "But don't worry, he hasn't been harmed by me."

"Thank you."

Gu Jinian nodded. He wanted to meet Shishi very much, but Shishi hated him to the extreme now. I just heard that he didn’t go crazy even though he knew he would come these days. He was a little happy in his heart. Shout him out.

"Your Majesty, I will go with you."

Chiyo offers advice to the beleaguered emperor.

Gu Jinian was very happy, so he agreed.

Quartz's camp was very quiet, relatively central, and there were only three guards. They stopped Gu Jinian after they saw him.

After explaining their identities, they bowed to Gu Jinian, then continued to stand on their posts, and Gu Jinian and Takizawa Chiyo entered the camp.

The house is very warm, there are not many things, the structure is very simple, there is a bed in the back room, the bed is not high, but it is spacious enough.

The boy was curled up on the bed, hugging his quilt, frowning slightly, he didn't seem to be sleeping very well.

After a few days, he lost a lot of weight.

Chiyo put her palm on his forehead, she suddenly frowned, and Gu Jinian's heart tightened when she saw it.

"What's wrong?" he asked softly.

"I had some fever, but I didn't get sick for a long time. I guess no one noticed it, and he didn't say anything."

He came to the battlefield to support Lingqiu country in person, Ji Yunqian couldn't possibly neglect Quartz, and he definitely didn't know about Quartz's low fever.

The boy on the bed was a light sleeper, as if he felt a sudden warmth on his forehead, he blinked his eyelids twice, and then opened them.

He sat up in confusion, the sudden movement scared Chiyo, she stood up, but accidentally kicked the wooden chair beside the bed.

"Who?!"

The boy's body shook in shock, and he immediately hugged his legs and leaned inward.

"It's me Shishi, I'm Chiyo."

The woman sighed, then sat on the edge of his bed.

"Miss Chiyo..." The boy relaxed his vigilance.

The air became quiet for an instant, and the boy was still acting that way, and Gu Jinian's heart ached when he saw that kind of movement without a trace of security.

"Did he come too?!"

The boy yelled at the source of the sound as if he suddenly remembered something.

Chiyo realized that the 'he' he was referring to was Gu Jinian, and glanced at the man beside him, who shook his head at her.

"No...he is discussing tactics with Ji Yunqian..."

The boy didn't answer, his expression became a little serious.

After a while, he said firmly.

"No, he's there, I can feel it."

Since his blindness, his other senses have become extraordinarily acute, and he senses that there are other people in the room besides them.

He could hear his breathing.

Gu Jinian raised his eyes, his boy looked vigilant, his empty eyes rolled around uncontrollably, as if he would do something to him.

"Quartz, I'm here."

Looking at such a pair of eyes, such a pair of eyes that will no longer flow any brilliance, he whispered.

Surprisingly, the boy didn't tell him to get out.

A few days ago, Chiyo told him that it is possible for Quartz's eyes to recover, but insisting on drinking her medicine is not a surefire solution, detoxification with Gu worms is the most effective, but her Gu worms are difficult to do. at this point.

The implication - future Gu worms can do it.

Gu Jinian immediately wanted to take out the Hundred Poison Gu from his body, but was stopped by Tang Xuan.

"Your Majesty still has to fight Gu worms, this is His Majesty's life-saving talisman, let's keep it for now."

He was right when he thought about it. At that time, Ji Yunqian came to Yanzhu Country to ask for help. He didn't want to go on the expedition, but when he thought that those man-eating bugs might crawl to Yanzhu Country and hurt Quartz, he decided to go out for half a year. , and come back after relieving the fighting situation.

After that, Quartz escaped.

"Is there anything, if not, please go out."

The boy still issued an order to evict the guest.

"...I will come to see you again."

Gu Jinian was pushed out by Chiyo, she said that she brought some medicine, and she would take care of Quartz.

Gu Jinian is naturally relieved, the next step is how to win this battle and bring the quartz back.

King Ling fell drunk on the wine glass on the table, and the soldiers who came to report looked at King Ling's face with some fear, but the princess was not intimidated by his sudden rage, she calmly knelt down to clean up the debris on the ground .

The coalition of Gu Jinian and Ji Yunqian was a great threat to him. He didn't understand why Gu Jinian, who could reap the benefits of a fisherman, sent troops.

He said, grab it if you can't get it, and destroy it if you can't get it. He also helped Gu Jinian get the world. Is that man's brain flooded? He even sent elite troops to the front line to support him.

"Give him some color. Let's send out some soldiers to attack Yanzhu country."

"My lord, absolutely not, the enemy Marshal Hu and other generals are still stationed in Yanzhu country, and we have less than [-] troops to fight!"

After listening to the soldiers' words, King Ling rapped on the table again, and a small crack appeared on the high-quality wooden table.

"What the hell is he thinking?!"

"My lord, my subordinates have obtained some information. I don't know whether it is true or not, but I think it can be used."

The humble attitude of his subordinates restrained King Ling's temper.

"Say."

"I heard that Ji Yunqian brought back a boy named Quartz from Yanzhu Country."

The fragment Shi Lan picked up cut her finger suddenly, and blood splashed on the ground. This news also shocked King Ling, and he quickly knelt down to check the wife's wound.

"Come on! Take the princess down to bandage up!"

But the concubine, who has always had no opinions and few words on weekdays, instead grabbed King Ling's sleeve.

"Is it my brother?!"

"Maybe it's a fake, it's used to trick us out, don't be nervous." He hastily comforted his wife, and asked someone to take her down again.

"No! Quartz is my brother!"

"How is it possible that your brother is still alive? It's been so many years, and you still haven't let go!"

King Ling shook off the woman's hand. This was the reason he was least willing to face. He could use everything to keep her by his side, but her younger brother was something he couldn't control.

"Where did you get the news?!" He turned his anger to the soldiers beside him.

"My lord, do you know that Gu Jinian, the emperor of Yanzhu Kingdom, likes men?"

"Oh? Heard about it."

"Shishi is his male favourite, I heard that he still intends to make him his concubine."

Shi Lan, who was sitting on the ground, listened to this quietly, as long as there was news about her brother, she wanted to know. At this time, she didn't say a word, for fear that King Ling would find her annoying and drive her out.

"Oh, it's ridiculous." Shi Lan gritted her teeth at King Ling's mocking words.

"Shi Lan, do you accept that your brother is like this?" The man knelt down and grabbed the woman's chin. Once, the woman in his arms swore that even if the whole world betrayed him, she would stand by him. Behind him, he betrayed everyone in the world, but now, just because he humiliated his own brother whom she hadn't seen for more than ten years, his woman showed such a disgusted expression on him.

"As long as my brother lives happily, he doesn't care what he does, and it's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks!"

The concubine got angry, and King Ling pinched her chin with more force, until the woman cried out in pain, and then he let go.

He still let his servants take her down.

The soldier kept his head down, waiting for the prince to order him to continue speaking.

King Ling adjusted his mood and walked towards the wooden chair. The soldiers followed and knelt on the ground.

"Tell me about your plan."

After the soldiers took the order, they explained the main point of the matter, roughly that they borrowed the quartz and wanted to see Shi Lan urgently, and asked Ling Wang to send a letter to ask Gu Jinian to bring the quartz to the designated place to meet, as a show of sincerity, that place must be It should be far away from the activity point of Gu insects, but not too far away.

"what do you mean?"

"Man-eating Gu is very sensitive to sound. We pretended to reunite their siblings, but actually prepared something that could make a loud volume."

King Ling was a little puzzled.

"My lord, we only need to bring 100 people on this trip, 80 people are used to play the trumpets, and 20 people are used to meet Gu Jinian. This is where our 'sincerity' lies!"

After a while, a smile appeared on the corner of Ling Wang's mouth.

"That's a great move."

They are currently short of troops, and there are too many injured people. The soldiers brought by Gu Jinian can crush them in one fell swoop. In this case, it is most appropriate to let the man-eating Gu reduce their number.

"But how can you guarantee that those man-eating Gu will come over, they crawl very slowly, what if when they come over, Gu Jinian has already left?"

"So, we have to lure the man-eating Gu over earlier."
