Ten thousand people suspect that cannon fodder does not want to save themselves

Gu Chiyuan was not surprised by the appearance of Lord Chongning, obviously this was also a situation he had set up long ago.

Khan did guess right, Gu Chiyuan would use his tricks, and when the prairie people put down their guard, they would come and wipe them out in one fell swoop.But Khan guessed a little wrongly. The pawn that Gu Chiyuan buried was not the army thirty miles away at all, but the troops led by Duke Chongning on the other side.

Even Shen Rongci didn't know that Lord Chongning's men had followed them and quietly left the capital.

He thought he knew Shen Rongci like the back of his hand and was familiar with all their arrangements, so he thought he was sure of winning, but he never thought that Gu Chiyuan could even deceive Shen Rongci.

Gu Chiyuan covered his broken right hand with a calm expression, and while making a simple bandage for himself, he raised his chin lightly to signal Lord Chongning to stand up: "Khan's body will be handed over to you."

"Yes."

When Chongning Gong walked towards Khan's body, Shen Rongci suddenly realized something.

"and many more……"

Gu Chiyuan came over, stood in front of him calmly, wiped the oil off his face with his intact left hand, and asked softly and innocently, "Rong Ci, what's wrong?"

But after such a short delay, Lord Chongning had already walked to the side of Khan's corpse, and he could clearly see the face of death in the firelight.

"Puff".

At that moment, the battle-tested veteran fell to his knees with a loud bang. His usually firm and broad back trembled slightly as if he couldn't bear some kind of strong impact. A gust of wind engulfed the sand, and the fine sand rolled and slipped off his longbow. Duke Chongning fell powerlessly to the ground, and let out a howling like a trapped animal.

Shen Rongci wanted to go forward to help him, but was grabbed by Gu Chiyuan.

Gu Chiyuan looked at Duke Chong Ning who was lying on the ground crying bitterly, his eyes were full of coldness: "It's all his own fault, let Rongci ignore him."

Only then did Shen Rongci realize something belatedly, and looked at Gu Chiyuan with astonishment on his face.

"What do you know?"

Gu Chiyuan blinked slowly, showed him an innocent expression, and raised his severed hand: "Rong Ci, I'm in so much pain...can you take me to bandage first?"

Shen Rongci looked at Gu Chiyuan's wound.Although Duke Chongning is his father in name, he has never fulfilled his duties and responsibilities as a father after all. To Shen Rongci, Duke Chongning is more like a boss with a less good relationship than his father , the concern for him is limited to the surface.

Maybe Shen Rongci would kindly remind Chongning Gong before he saw Khan's face to prevent Chongning Gong from facing something that might cause him pain; but since this matter has already happened, Shen Rongci will not Will deliberately go to comfort Chong Ning Gong.Their relationship didn't go that well.

The most urgent thing is to deal with Gu Chiyuan's injury...

Too many things happened in a short period of time, Shen Rongci didn't know what kind of expression he should use to face Gu Chiyuan, and he couldn't even think about what Gu Chiyuan knew, and how he was hugging himself at this moment. What kind of thoughts do you have.

Gu Chiyuan couldn't have understood what Khan said...

Shen Rongci put aside his chaotic thoughts and focused on Gu Chiyuan's wound.

The scimitars of the grassland tribes are long, heavy, and extremely sharp. If you look at them with enough strength, the skulls of adult men can easily be broken.Gu Chiyuan's right hand bone has been completely broken, leaving only a piece of flesh barely attached to the severed hand.

A bloody piece, soon dyed the sleeves of both of them red.

Shen Rongci has been in and out of the battlefield so many times, and he has seen no matter how terrible the injury is, he should have been numb long ago, but when he thought that it was Gu Chiyuan's hand, his heart ached so badly that he couldn't breathe.

He poured out all the panacea obtained from the system and fed it to Gu Chiyuan, or spread it on his wound. When pouring the powder, his hands shook too much and spilled most of it.

Gu Chiyuan held him with his left hand, took the medicine bottle and put it on the table beside him.As if trying to divert his attention, he said, "Don't you want to ask me what I know? Let me tell you everything, okay?"

Shen Rongci shook his head.He didn't want to know anymore, he just wanted Gu Chiyuan's hand to heal.

I don't know if it's his illusion, but the medicines given to him by the system are all effective immediately, even broken bones can immediately grow new ones.

But Gu Chiyuan's wound didn't respond, no matter how much medicine he applied on it, there was no response.

This made him feel uneasy.

Gu Chiyuan didn't know the fear in his heart, so he continued on his own: "Mr. Chong Ning had such a deep relationship with his deceased wife that after his deceased wife died of dystocia, he regarded his own son as an ominous existence that killed his wife. Be cold and alienated to your son-in-law. Does Rong Ci think so?"

Shen Rongci vaguely felt that there was something strange about Gu Chiyuan's words, but he couldn't tell the specific reason, so he could only nod along with his words.

This is also the original plot that the system told him.

Gu Chiyuan was noncommittal: "Perhaps there are these reasons. However, in the year when I was crowned prince, I accidentally learned of another reason—in fact, Duke Chongning always wanted to resurrect his dead wife."

Shen Rongci frowned: "Resurrection?"

Gu Chiyuan nodded, and put his index finger on his lips, jokingly said: "This is a secret, you can't tell it to others."

Shen Rongci vaguely had a guess in his mind, then opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and looked at Gu Chiyuan.

Gu Chiyuan looked at him appreciatively: "My little fox is really smart."

Gu Chiyuan calmly told Shen Rongci all the secrets he had found out about Chongning Gong.

It is roughly consistent with Shen Rongci's conjecture.In order to revive his dead wife, Duke Chongning learned of a kind of magic from nowhere, and he had already started preparations in the second year after his dead wife passed away.

This kind of sorcery is very cruel. It is to sacrifice the soul of the blood relative of the person to be resurrected as the price for calling the dead soul back, and Shen Rongci, who is his own flesh and blood, is the best candidate.

It is also because Lord Chongning has long regarded Shen Rongci as a "prop" for resurrecting his dead wife, so he has been ignoring his own son...or in other words, subconsciously avoiding contact with his son, so as not to cause unnecessary troubles. The affection of his wife has become a burden on the road to revive his dead wife.

So after careful preparations by Lord Chongning, finally on a certain day nine years ago, Lord Chongning started the magic technique of resurrecting his dead wife.If the spell went smoothly, Shen Rongci died suddenly and his dead wife was resurrected; but in fact, it may be that the magic cheats that Duke Chong Ning obtained back then were incomplete, or there was a mistake in a certain link, and his wife did not He was able to be resurrected as he wished, and his son... also did not die.

Having said that, Gu Chiyuan paused, and looked at Shen Rongci.Seeing that Shen Rongci was lost in thought, he suddenly leaned over and rubbed his straight nose affectionately on his cheek.

He suddenly said: "Rong Ci, in fact, you are not the real Shen Rongci, are you?"

Shen Rongci was taken aback.

Seeing that he was silent, Gu Chiyuan did not make things difficult for him, and continued: "Duke Chong Ning actually noticed it. Although the spell failed due to a certain mistake, it is absolutely impossible for his son to survive. Or , the soul of his son-in-law was transported to a certain place by magic, and the body of his son-in-law should only be a shell. Then, who is the soul that survived in this body instead of his son-in-law?"

Shen Rongci stood up abruptly and wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Gu Chiyuan.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. You are my lover, no matter who you are, I will trust you unconditionally and stand by your side."

Shen Rongci looked at Gu Chiyuan with complicated eyes.In those phoenix eyes, he saw full sincerity and firmness, without the slightest deceit.

What Gu Chiyuan said was true.

"Since when did you..." Know that he is not the real Shen Rongci?

"Hmm." Gu Chiyuan thought for a while, "Actually, I had doubts when I learned that Mr. Chong Ning secretly used sorcery. When I was really sure that you were not an ordinary person, it was actually when you were attacking bandits in Nancheng. , When I saw the servant who should have died nine years ago appear in front of me again safe and sound, I was sure that my appearance was not ordinary."

It turned out to be the case.

In other words, in fact, Gu Chiyuan already knew that he was not the real Shen Rongci.

But even so, Gu Chiyuan still didn't loathe him or fear him, but was willing to get close to him, understand him, and be gentle with him.

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Why are you afraid?" Gu Chiyuan chuckled, turned his head to kiss him, but was dodged by Shen Rongci, he immediately showed a hurt expression, knowing that he couldn't get away with it, so he continued, "I never I don’t believe in ghosts and gods. What I see is only the person in front of me from the beginning to the end. I only believe in what I see with my own eyes, what I touch with my own hands, and what I really feel in my heart. What’s more, even if You are really a ghost who came to seek my life, and I am willing to die in your hands."

The more he spoke, the more insincere he became, but judging by his expression, he was so serious, so unquestionable.

Looking at him, Shen Rongci felt that this was a bottomless quagmire, and he was getting deeper and deeper, but it was difficult to get out, and he could only watch himself drowning in Gu Chiyuan's tenderness.

Gu Chiyuan gave him an extremely deep wet kiss, and Shen Rongci was imprisoned in place by some force, unable to move, and could only bear Gu Chiyuan's kiss silently.

It took a long time for Gu Chiyuan to let him go. Hearing his messy panting, Gu Chiyuan chuckled lightly, seeming very happy.

"Actually, you don't have to feel sorry for occupying his body, or feel guilty about Khan. Khan is just Khan. Even if he has Shen Rongci's soul and memory, he will never be Shen Rongci The only legitimate son of Lord Chongning was killed by Lord Chongning himself when he was paranoid about resurrecting his dead wife nine years ago."

Shen Rongci was silent for a while, even though Khan had said something similar to him himself, he still thought that Gu Chiyuan was comforting himself: "How can you be sure that he is not?"

"Because when he mentioned Duke Chongning, he was so calm. If he was the real Shen Rongci, how could he not hate Duke Chongning who killed him? And how could he have no reaction to Duke Chongning at all?" ? It can only be explained that although he has your memories, he is only a bystander, and he has not substituted his own feelings, let alone understand your emotions."

Shen Rongci was silent and did not speak.

Is it really as Gu Chiyuan said?

But now, no matter how entangled he is, it won't help.The Khan is dead, and these facts can no longer be verified.

Shen Rongci wanted to check again whether Gu Chiyuan's wound had healed, but he heard someone shouting outside the tent:

"Duke Chongning...Duke Chongning killed himself!"

The two looked at each other and hurried to the scene.

Next to Khan's undisturbed corpse, Duke Chong Ning, wearing the black iron armor that can command the three armies and represents absolute majesty, knelt down on his knees facing Khan upright.

He is over fifty years old, his resolute face has been blown by the wind and sand all year round, there are fine lines around the corners of his eyes and mouth, and there are some gray hairs hidden on his temples.

At this time, his eyes were tightly closed, and there were still tears in the corners of his eyes that he would not wipe away in the future, and a lot of yellow sand blown by the wind had already stained his face.

And in his abdomen, there is a sword hilt, which is the Mira sword he used to kill enemies in battle.

The long sword pierced from his abdomen and ran through his whole body, and the blood-stained snow-white blade pierced from his back, dripping with blood.

There was no sound.
