Qingqiu is difficult

At one time, like you, I thought she took pleasure in killing, and that she was entirely to blame for her death. But as I followed her step by step, I realized that in her heart, there was a loneliness that was at a loss. A forced indifference, hiding an indescribable vulnerability.

Tu Shansong looked at Liu Zhang quietly in front of him. He slumped on the ground. His eyes were hard to focus for a while. He just looked at everything around him in such a vain way. After a long while, he cried and laughed:

"You lied to me. She is really happy. If not, wouldn't I be driving her into the abyss step by step by killing so many people for her?"

Tu Shansong took out a small wooden sign from his arms and threw it to Liu Zhang. His bloody hands trembled as he picked up the wooden sign. Through the firelight on the wall, he could vaguely see several crooked and knife-carved figures on it. Character.

"The Grave of Puppies"

Liuzhang touched the words on it, was stunned for a while, and then said with a smile: "Yes, I gave this puppy to her. At that time, she said that the puppy was annoying and clingy. I thought she didn't like it, so I gave it to her. The dog was thrown to the wild wolf. The puppy was just one month old, and she named it Dadai. We watched together. The puppy ran and ran, but it couldn't escape and was bitten to death by the wild wolf."

"She didn't want the puppy to die. She just had no friends, and she was afraid that her cowardice would lead to more bullying."

Liu Zhang was stunned for a while. He stared at the wooden board in his hand and rubbed his thumb back and forth on it.

Song continued: "The country of Jing is unruly. The princes and nobles from top to bottom take pleasure in killing and torturing people. There are countless people who care about human life and cover the sky with their hands. It's like this around. She lost her mother because of her small number. She has too much divine favor. If it weren't for If you are more vicious than others, how can you make people fear you and how can you stay content in the palace?"

Liu Zhang turned his head slightly, looked at Song's clothes, and looked up from below to see that he was spotless, that he was aloof and self-proclaimed, that he was a orchid tree, and that he was as gentle as jade.

He smiled bitterly: "Why, I don't know this, but how do you know it?"

Song did not answer this question. He just asked Liu Zhang: "Your crimes, Jingguo's crimes, have long been washed away by the disaster of annihilation of the country. But you made one mistake and one step after another. Now you want to restore the country, which is really wishful thinking. Now I only ask Just tell me, would you be willing to trade your life for Xinyi's?"

A heart-pounding pain came from his chest. The faith that once supported a person's survival has now collapsed. The bloody and cruel scenes in the past have become bloody scenes at the moment, and the scenes have crossed his mind. In front of my eyes, in my mind.

This kind of pain is like beating a person's mind under a jack, leaving people helpless but with nowhere to escape.

He looked up at Song and said with a smile: "Master Song, what are you saying? It's my fault alone. What does it have to do with the princess?"

Song was speechless and looked at the shadow on the side, indicating that he could release the person.

Shadow's eyes were bloodshot, how could he do it? But his identity required him to obey the prince's orders. He clenched his fists tightly, and veins appeared on the back of his hands.

Liu Zhang crawled out of the prison, and Shadow noticed that his legs had already exposed bones at the knees due to long-term crawling, and there were still broken bones at the broken places.

Not only that, even his back and abdomen were swollen with huge bulges.

He asked: "Why... are you releasing me? Since I have committed such a heinous crime, why not just kill me."

Song looked at him with a cold light in his eyes: "Kill you, the people of Jingguo will think that you died in serving the country, and they will respect you as the God of War, and Xinyi will bear a lifetime of infamy. Let you go, you live, and you will suffer for her. For that infamy."

Loneliness flowed from Liu Zhang's eyes, but soon, tears flowed out, but the tears were not sad, let alone despair. There might be a trace of regret, but more of a kind of redemption. He shed tears and said, "Thank you for telling me that she is still alive. As long as she is alive, if I can do something, it will be my last atonement."

As he spoke, he crawled forward a few more times, but in the end the pain was unbearable, and he said to the two people behind him:

"You two, please forgive me for being rude. If you are willing to give me the last bit of dignity, please leave first and let me climb out of this cave alone."

Shadow wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Song. The two immediately turned and left. When they reached the exit of the corner, a voice suddenly came from behind:

"When it came to the Xie Zhi incident, the person who came to present the beast secretly revealed that it was the sacred beast presented by Tu Shanyong of Qingqiu."

As soon as he finished speaking, the rain in the sky began to fall, as if being cared for. Tu Shansong clenched his fists and walked out with the two shadows one behind the other.

It's raining from the sky, and the spring rain is as precious as oil. Finally, we have survived this winter.

When he walked out of the cave, Shadow handed him an umbrella, but he didn't take it. Instead, he walked straight into the rain alone.

Shadow held an umbrella and hurriedly followed: "Sir, if we let him go like this, won't he seek death if he is so ill?"

Tu Shansong's eyes were blank, and he looked at the short grass sprouts on the ground: "No, only if he lives can he prove her innocence. Only if he lives can she live."

Shadow was puzzled: "Master, why should you let him live? He has killed so many people. Shouldn't he be executed in a hurry?"

Song added: "There are many pains in this world that are more difficult to endure than death."

Shadow forcefully suppressed the anger in his chest. Just a moment ago, he was still thinking that once he sent the young master away, he would turn back and kill Liu Zhang to rid the world of evil. But now he hesitated. He was a little confused, but he believed in the young master. He decided to raise Liu Zhang first. He wanted to see what kind of pain in this world could beat death.

But he ignored Song. The next second, raindrops fell on the tip of Shadow's nose, and he was stunned in place like a thunderbolt.

"The Haechi is a gift from the clan leader!"

But in the blink of an eye, where is the figure of the young master in front of me? He has long since disappeared, letting the raindrops rustle and knock down the rocks.

Shadow remained silent. He jumped up the rock and sat down quietly in one of the caves, facing the exit of the water prison.

After a long time, an ugly body finally crawled out of the hole. Every move was almost difficult, and there were traces of blood on the road he crawled on.

The rain is getting heavier. Liu Zhang climbed out of the hole, raised his head, and used the rain to wash away the blood on his face.

He climbed to a path and found a piece of wood to use as a walking stick. Shadow's teeth were itching with hatred. Why was he still looking for a stick? Why didn't he hit him to death!

But Liu Zhang didn't. He relied on his years of experience of being injured on the battlefield and immediately made braces for his legs. With the brace, he was able to stand up even though he was staggering. (End of chapter)
