return to peace

On the fourth day of fleeing, the remnant of Huwei was found in Wancheng, a neighboring city of Qucheng, and fled to Langya Mountain.Langya Mountain was originally a fairy mountain for cultivators. More than 100 years ago, when a lightning struck Langya, all living things on the mountain were extinct overnight.From then on, whenever pedestrians entered the mountain on rainy nights, there would be thunder and thunder on Langya Mountain, and no one in the world dared to go up Langya again.After many years of neglect, Langya Mountain was surrounded by trees and wild beasts, and finally became a barren mountain.

The remnants of Huwei had no choice but to be forced into Langya by Chen Jun, and they were already desperate.As a general, Hu Wei was shot in the chest by an arrow in order to protect Chu Ze, Xi and Chu Lingshang. Although he avoided the vital point, he was still in danger.Chu Zexi's calf was slashed with a knife, the flesh was opened, and the bone was visible deep, the situation was not optimistic.Chu Lingshang looked around. The rest of the soldiers were sick, injured, and their physical strength was almost exhausted. There was a sound of thunder rolling in the sky. He looked up at the dark clouds gradually drifting over. The mountains and rivers are exhausted.

Is it really going to end?

Because Chen Jun didn't catch up because of fear, they had a chance to breathe, but what was scary was not the present, but the darkness.The howling of distant beasts from time to time in the ears is frightening.

"Lingyu." It was Chu Zexi's weak voice.

Chu Lingshang turned his head, and hurriedly walked towards the bloodless Chu Zexi who was leaning against a big tree: "What's wrong? Does the wound hurt?" He looked at Chu Zexi's leg, which was covered with blood. Although bandaged, but on the way to escape, it was easier to deal with.

Chu Zexi shook his head, sighed softly, lowered his eyes, and said as if he had lost all his strength: "Ling Yu, are we going to lose?"

Chu Lingshang only felt panicked in his heart, but he still pretended to be relaxed and said: "What are you talking about? Ever since I was a child, have you ever seen me lose? My adoptive father is just outside Qucheng, and he must have started attacking the city by now." Now, we just need to persist until we meet him." As if words were not enough, he lightly stroked Chu Zexi's shoulder, and comforted him softly: "So don't worry, get a good sleep first, okay? "

After a long time, Chu Zexi hummed lightly, and obediently closed his eyes.

Chu Lingshang sat down next to him. He had just escaped from death, and he also needed to rest. The bigger difficulty was at night.

Chu Lingshang was woken up by the screams in the distance. He just opened his eyes and found that Chu Zexi was also awake. They glanced at each other, and no one knew what happened.Huwei was still in a coma, no matter what happened at this time, they were powerless to deal with it.There was a loud thunder in the sky, and dark clouds had completely covered Langya Mountain.

Huwei's deputy general walked to the top of the mountain, glanced down, and rushed over in surprise: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! It seems that the Chen army below has been wiped out by someone. Our reinforcements are here!"

Upon hearing this, many soldiers who had lowered their eyebrows before cheered. Chu Lingshang and Chu Zexi glanced at each other, and they both saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

Logically, Chu Huaimin's army should not have been able to find them so quickly.

They walked quickly to the top of the mountain and looked down. The Chen Guo camp with the bonfire burning was indeed captured.Under the reflection of the fire, the military flag with the big "Chen" written on it collapsed.

"Could it be that father's army is really here?" Chu Zexi turned her head and asked in disbelief.

Chu Lingshang pursed his lips, but did not answer. He suddenly had a very absurd guess, so absurd that even he could not believe it.His heart was beating like a drum, the sky was thundering loudly, and the rain was pouring down.He stared at the camp below the mountain with a good eye, letting the rain drenched his whole body.

Gradually, only the sound of rain and the occasional flash of lightning remained in my ears. Chu Zexi got close and saw the flash of thunder and lightning. His eyes were focused and motionless.

The remaining soldiers hastily set up the simple tent and carried General Huwei inside.When the deputy general invited them, Chu Zexi waved his hand lightly. He suddenly understood what Chu Lingshang was thinking, and turned his head to look at the camp below the mountain in surprise.At this time, Chen Guo's camp was completely silent.

Someone has gone up the mountain.

The night was too dark to see anything.After a while, Chu Zexi suddenly heard the lieutenant shout behind him: "Who is it?!"

He turned around to look, and at the same time, Chu Lingshang beside him turned around even faster than him.About thirty men in black, wearing black cloaks, stood quietly in front of the remnants of the Xiliang army, and there was still a little dark red blood on the sword in their hands.The leader lowered his head slightly, his wide bucket hat was soaked by rain, and was wetly placed on his forehead, making it difficult to see his face clearly.

Chu Lingshang could no longer tell whether what he heard was the sound of rain or the sound of heartbeat, he clenched his fist subconsciously, his slightly longer nails were deeply embedded in the palm of his hand, he pursed his lips tightly, without blinking Stare at the leader.Watching him gently pull back the brim of his hat, revealing a handsome face carved by a knife, but those eyes hide a thousand words of vicissitudes.

Chen Lingshang moved his lips, but he didn't say anything.The rain fell like a waterfall, and Chu Lingshang no longer knew whether it was tears or rain on his face.

"Ji Fan." Chu Zexi murmured, looking at the man in front of him in disbelief, except for a scar winding from the brow bone to the forehead, it was still the same face, handsome and almost perfect features, not to mention The corners of the mouth slightly raised while smiling were too cold, even through the heavy rain, he could still feel the chilling aura surrounding him.

Everyone was strangely silent on this weird rainy night. They watched this handsome man called "Ji Fan" walk towards their national teacher step by step until he hugged Chu Lingshang tightly in his arms.No one knows that the most beautiful words that Chu Lingshang has ever heard in his life are not vows, nor praises, but the words that Ji Fan hugged him tightly and whispered in his ear on that rainy night: "I'm back."

Just four words made him want to cry.
