Luoshui Dongliu

After nightfall, the arrangement of the battle suddenly changed, which was a bit abnormal; but the order was given by Zhao Shen's guards, who were holding the general's tiger talisman, although this order was not fake, but what was the key to it, everyone could not help but secretly speculate.However, under the military order, no one was hesitant or negligent. In the second half of the night, the attack on the earth mountain was successful.

But Xie Rang finally found it strange that Zhao Shen didn't show up that night, all because of the guards passing orders, this has never happened before.In fact, it is said that the generals should plan strategies, and there is no need to be in front of the battle from time to time, but with Zhao Shen's usual style, why did he seem to suddenly change his mind this night?For no reason, he just felt uneasy in his heart, and his feet went astray.It was only when the guard beside him asked him, "Where is the master going?" did he suddenly realize that he was walking in front of Zhao Shen's tent.

He thought to himself that since he came here, he simply said to the guard: "I'll go and discuss something with General Zhao."

Zhou Gan was guarding outside the tent, but he was surprised when he saw Xie Rang coming towards the tent door.In fact, he had made up his mind, he only said that Zhao Shen had already fallen asleep, so he could handle it.But what a sophisticated person Xie Rang is, he could see that Zhou Gan was flustered in a few words.He was even more worried, and suddenly asked: "What's wrong with General Zhao?"Xie Rang felt more uncomfortable, so he stepped into the tent.

He is now thin and torn apart, and he still shakes slightly when he moves, how dare Zhou Gan stretch out his hand to stop him, after a moment of hesitation, Xie Rang has already entered the inner tent.

Lu Youzhifang supported Zhao Shen to lie down, his arms were still on Zhao Shen's shoulders.Xie Rang suddenly lifted the curtain and came in, the three of them were startled.

Xie Rang saw Zhao Shen first, and then saw the person behind him, and there was a crash in his head.Zhao Shen sat up straight, Xie Rang saw his lips open and close but couldn't hear what he said.After a long while, he asked tremblingly, "Who is this one?"

There was silence in the tent for a while, Zhao Shen straightened his clothes.Seeing that he was shaking slightly when he got up, Lu Youzhi couldn't help but raised his hand to help, but was pushed back by Zhao Shen with a wave of his arm.

Zhao Shen stood up slowly, blocking Lu Youzhi behind him.He walked up to Xie Rang in the tent, bowed his head and said: "Master..."

Xie Rang never imagined that Zhao Shen met the enemy spy who was beheaded a few months ago.He just asked that question, but he still had illusions, maybe Zhao Shen could tell some of the reason.Now Zhao Shen didn't defend himself, he just couldn't say a word.He looked over Zhao Shen's shoulder and looked at Lu Youzhi. When he worked with this young man, he had never looked at his appearance in detail. Now he saw Lu Youzhi's pale face, his eyes seemed to be smeared with thick ink, his eyebrows were like black and white, and he was square. Suddenly feel its amazing.He recalled the kindness Zhao Shen had treated Lu Youzhi in the past, and then remembered that Zhao Shen seemed to have just got up from the couch when he entered the tent, his neckline was loose, and his middle coat was half on and off.There is no need to talk about the story below.

He was shocked in his heart, and then furious, tremblingly said to Lu Youzhi: "You have read the books of sages and sages, you should know etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame!"

Lu Youzhi had calmed down at this moment, stood up and said: "You don't need to say anything, Master, I know what to do at this time, and I don't..." He didn't say anything after that, only heard Zhao Shen sternly shouted at him: "I and our army The Central Registrar is speaking, why do you speak up!"

Although his voice was stern, but his intention of defending was too obvious, Xie Rang was speechless for a moment, he was stunned for a while, and suddenly sneered: "General, do you still remember that you are the leader of this army?"

After saying that, I couldn't help feeling a burst of sadness in my heart.In the five years since Zhao Jing passed away, Los Angeles has experienced many storms.He was always thinking hard, watching Zhao Shen day by day from then to now.During this siege, he had also thought that no matter what the outcome was, he would have a clear conscience and live up to Zhao Jing's entrustment, but who would have watched Zhao Shen do such a ridiculous and wrong thing.

He is usually cautious and easy-going, but now his words are not only worried, but also impassioned.Zhao Shen was silent when he heard the words, he also understood the meaning of these words.That day he made a speech in front of the tent, expressing his determination to defend the city by beheading Lu You, but now if the lieutenant generals know that not only did he not kill him, but also hid in the tent, his authority and credibility would be a joke.The soldiers sacrificed their lives in front of the battle, but the main general obeyed his will, not to mention the subordinates from other places, even the old troops that the Zhao family had commanded in Luocheng for generations, they had nothing to say.At such a juncture, the Great Wall is almost self-destructed.

Xie Rang continued: "I don't want to know why the general kept him. Now I just ask the general to end this matter." Seeing that Zhao Shen just bowed his head and said nothing, he sneered sadly, "The general is sure that I will not do it for the sake of the morale of the army. Spread the word, but I am the one who smashed it today, and there will be others in the future, the general is deliberately keeping this hidden danger?"

In Xie Rang's eyes, Zhao Shen felt like a huge rock and mountain on his shoulders, he knew that what Xie Rang said was right, but he couldn't agree to "end it".Xie Rang was not tall in stature, now that he was thin and stooped, looking at him with a slightly raised face, Zhao Shen felt guilty and sad, and slowly knelt down, saying: "I don't want to bear the burden of a city full of soldiers."

Hearing this, Xie Rang couldn't help but take a half step back, and smiled sadly for a while: "I can't afford the general to be like this, and the general doesn't have to confess these things to me. No matter how much Los Angeles gains or loses, the general is not responsible for me." He said Seeing Zhao Shen's bushy eyebrows frowning under the light, he said in a trembling voice, "What you owe is the century-old reputation of the Zhao family, which was entrusted by your grandfather before he left."

Zhao Shen heard the last sentence like thunder in his ears, and just now his father's smiling eyes pierced his heart and lungs like a sharp sword in the nightmare, he only listened to Xie Rang and said, "Even if these generals don't care, the general will just Think about it, can you be worthy of yourself?"

The hot air in the copper stove was still steaming, but behind him, it was not hot and his back was cold.Zhao Shen closed his eyes, but he seemed to see a bloody battle ahead, under the bunker, in front of the giant cart.He just said that he didn't want to burden the city with soldiers, but since the siege of the city, it's not all the flesh and blood of his comrades who guard Luo City.Others don't want to be responsible for everything, but they have already been responsible for everything. In the current situation, I blame myself for being useless.What kind of expectations his father had for him before his death, he was also confident that he would never let this expectation fail.And if his father really knew, seeing him today... Zhao Shen didn't dare to think about it anymore.

He opened his eyes suddenly, turned around and saw the poker lying on the ground beside the copper stove.Seeing Zhou Gan standing at the tent door, he pointed his eyes at him and said, "Bring this here."

Zhou Gan didn't know why, but he didn't dare to ask, so he had to take it.Hearing Zhao Shen said in a deep voice: "I am responsible for this matter." He raised his head and said to Xie Rang, "I used to behave improperly, how my father punished me, today I invite the master..." He said here, Suddenly feeling a pain in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said, "Look out for him." Then he said to Zhou Qian, "Fight."

The few people in the tent were all stunned, Lu Youzhi couldn't help stepping over, but Zhao Shen said in a low voice: "If you want to make chaos in our army tonight..." Xie Rang might as well Zhao Shen would be like this, he was stunned for a moment , with a trembling voice: "Why should the general be acting?"

Zhao Shen also didn't speak, he has nothing to say at this moment, he has nothing to say, he is full of pain and self-blame, only the pain of his skin can calm him down.

Xie Rang only thought that Zhao Shen was threatening each other, his hands couldn't stop shaking, and said, "If the general is delusional and insists on doing this, I have nothing to say. I just don't understand how the general can be here Tonight, when the soldiers were fighting for their lives in front of the battle, they were still trapped in this tent, and now they are humiliating themselves like this? Could it be that the secret affairs of a spy and the general are more serious than this city of Los Angeles? I don’t say that if the soldiers in the camp I just want to ask the general to think about it, if the old general sees this scene, what will he do."

These words were so serious that Zhou Gan's face changed in shock.After Xie Rang finished speaking, he was already out of breath, and when he regained his breath, he lowered his head and saw Zhao Shensu kneeling on the ground in thin single clothes, his heart was full of sadness again.The scene in front of him, not to mention the murderous Shura, is still the boy who made a mistake and was taught by his father in a trance.However, the young man of that day is now a city lord, commanding troops in formation, fighting for life and death; the world only envies Zhao Shen for being young and in a high position, how successful he is at a young age, but few people know the hardships and bitterness behind this angry horse in fresh clothes.It is also because of this that Xie Rang can't see that his previous efforts were wasted because of doing whatever he wanted for a while.The high spirits in the eyes of others, in fact, every step is like walking on thin ice.Since he has to bear the life and death of the people in the city, he can no longer be like when he was leaning on his father's knee, crying and laughing when he was in pain, and doing things willfully.Xie Rang lost his mind for a while, sighed and persuaded: "The general must make a decision at this time. Life and death of a person are all fate. If you enforce disobedience, you will have great trouble. General, don't be stubborn anymore."

Zhao Shen was just silent.How it should be, he knew early on.But what he never did in the past, now he finally has to do it?In the dark, where will they be pushed by that invisible giant hand?How could this so-called doomed fate not be changed because of his reluctance?If he obeyed his destiny to kill Lu Youzhi at this time, then he defended Los Angeles regardless of the cost, but in terms of destiny, was he obeyed or disobeyed?

Suddenly this thought flashed, Zhao Shenru was suddenly struck by lightning.After defending the city for several months, he was actually shaken now.The shock was like a flooding river crashing against the waves on the embankment, surging through his mind, and his mind seemed to be submerged for a moment, and he suddenly didn't want to think about how today's events would end.Hearing only a sound of breaking through the air, there was a sharp stabbing pain coming from behind, Zhao Shen couldn't help gritting his teeth, as if a gap was suddenly ripped open in his heart.The indescribable emotions that have been accumulated for many days gushed out at this moment, enveloping him together with bursts of pain.

The boatman whose heart was like a boat trapped in a whirlpool, gritted his teeth and almost cried.Naturally, he didn't know why Zhao Shen felt the pain in his heart. Looking at the scene, he only thought that Zhao Shen didn't want to kill Lu Youzhi because he wanted to make Xie Rang change his mind.It was also because of this that he was willing to bite the bullet and strike, but the arm holding the stick was still trembling.

The poker was thin and hard, the sound of hitting the flesh was muffled, but it was also extremely painful.But just now, the thought in Zhao Shen's mind was like the aquatic weeds at the bottom of the river entwining the ankles of a drowning person, cold and slippery like a poisonous snake, at this moment only pain can turn his mind away, which made him look forward to the pain that was already like a knife cutting more. Stronger.

Zhou Gan's subordinates didn't know where to hit them, and they were flustered, and they didn't know where they were hit. They saw Zhao Shen's plain shirt gradually stained with dark red blood.Zhou Qian followed Zhao Shen for several years, although the general scolded him when he was impatient, he treated him with care and sincerity like a brother; at this moment, he saw that the blood color was like a living thing, only slowly fading away along the warp and weft lines of the fabric, Feeling that he couldn't do anything anymore, he couldn't help calling out: "General..."

Zhao Shen only felt that the pain was getting worse, even the linen jacket scratched his skin unbearably, bursts of fine sweat dripped down from his head, face to back.He had just had a fever, but his whole body was still sore and weak, under the profuse sweat, he felt dizzy and tinnitus.Hearing Zhou Gan's trembling voice at this moment, he felt disturbed, forced himself to stand on his back, and said with all his strength: "You are out of your mind, what are you doing stupidly." Startled, he subconsciously shook his hand, the blow was slightly on Zhao Shen's waist.The skin on the waist and crotch was thin, and the iron rod hit the bone with a sharp pain, and when it was slashed down, it even tore the jacket, and a large piece of oily skin was lifted, and blood gushed out immediately.Zhao Shen was suddenly shocked by the sharp pain, his eyes turned black, and he groaned but was forced back into his throat.I only felt hot air hitting my chest violently, half of my body leaned forward, and my consciousness was suddenly in a trance.

Zhou Gan didn't know where he was hit, but seeing blood pouring out, he hurriedly shouted: "General... General?" The poker also fell to the ground.

Xie Rangben stood aside, suddenly hearing Zhou Gan's words, the tone had changed at the end, so he couldn't help turning his head.At first glance, I saw this bright red and dazzling, and hurriedly stepped over.Looking up, he saw Lu Youzhi standing in front of him, bowed his head, and said in a low voice: "Master, I already know how to settle this matter."

Lu Youzhi's complexion was pale and transparent, like cicada's wings under the sun, these words were so soft that only the two of them could hear them.Xie Rangben was annoyed at him, and was about to refute, but he caught a glimpse of the unusually calm expression under the light, like a dead soldier sharpening his armor before a battle.

Xie Rang was shocked in his heart, calmed down and gasped, and said for a long time: "How can I trust you?"

Lu Youzhi smiled faintly, he had already thought through all this matter in just a moment.At this moment, there is no longer any entanglement in my heart, I just said, "One thousand gold promises, one promise will never be broken."

Zhao Shen seemed to be in a daze for a long time, until he heard Zhou Gan's crying, at some point he fell on the ground, half of his waist still seemed to be scorched.He heard Zhou Gan sobbing and saying: "General, if you feel pain, make a sound...", but he just shook his head.At this moment, he was not trying to endure it, but although the pain was extremely painful, it seemed that he didn't even have the strength to call out the pain.After calming down for a while, he said: "What are you doing, shut up and go back."

Zhou Gan still said: "There is no one else here, the general can't bear it anymore..."

Zhao Shen heard the words "no one else", he didn't care to touch the wound, he just stood up and asked blankly: "Where is the master?"

But someone helped him by the shoulder and said: "Are you still going to the city in the morning? Then don't worry about anything at this moment."

Zhao Shen followed the sound and saw that Lu Youzhi was in front of him. Zhao Shen met his warm gaze, his heart suddenly relaxed, and his arms lost strength in an instant.

Zhou Qian had already retreated, Zhao Shen felt that Lu Youzhi gently took off his clothes.With just a slight movement, his whole body tensed up due to the pain, and he couldn't help saying in a muffled voice: "The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain, you just need to peel it off."

The blood was almost dry, and the shirt had already stuck to the flesh.If you really want to tear it down, I'm afraid you will tear off a piece of flesh, Lu Youzhi persuaded: "It won't work. I just want to be lighter."

He dipped in water to wipe away the scab, but Zhao Shen whispered, "It hurts so much..."

After all, he was still a little confused at this moment, the voice sounded half anxious and angry, and half moaned and begged.Lu Youzhi had never seen Zhao Shen so tired and weak, and he felt as if he had been severely grasped.Xin Dao was so tired tonight, and it was also because of himself.

He paused for a while, then suddenly said: "If you don't hesitate in your heart from now on, you should also take care of yourself. Why are you suffering so much tonight?"

Zhao Shen's shoulders trembled, and he looked sideways at Lu Youzhi with surprise on his face.Lu Youzhi smiled wryly and said, "I used to say that you and I are people who refuse to forgive ourselves." Then he said, "I used to persuade you to surrender, but at that time I only wanted to fulfill your safety and death; now I I understand that what you really want is to have no regrets and no regrets. Although what you wish is not easy, but no matter how difficult it is, you just do it according to your heart and don’t care about other things. What happens in the future, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to help you; but as long as you are determined to stick to this city, I will help you." Seeing that Zhao Shen couldn't help standing up, he got up and sat down in front of him, and said seriously: "I just ask you , Do you think so at this moment?"

These few words are like spring thunder shaking awake the long night, every word seems to be spoken in Zhao Shen's heart.The expression in Zhao Shen's eyes gradually became clear, and he said in a deep voice after a while, "Yes."

The author has something to say:

Well, this paragraph is a typical kind of self-abuse to relieve the masochistic mentality of being abused. OTL

In fact, Xiao Zhao's journey is not as determined as he seems, he has been encountering various psychological problems... well, this is actually a story of blx pretending to be an iron man...
