Cannon fodder and the book-wearing hero's Shura field

Chapter 14

The sky was a dead gray, filled with gunpowder smoke, and blood stained the land under his feet.

Soldiers from both sides fought, the fallen corpses were trampled, and there were mutilated parts everywhere.

The 16-year-old boy in front of him had an immature face. Lu Manman watched the spear sink into his chest, his pupils dilated, looked at his chest in disbelief, and vomited a mouthful of blood.

Then, his body slid down feebly, half kneeling on the ground, the blood of his robe soaked into the soil.

The young man lowered his head with difficulty, and slowly unfolded his blood-stained hands. Lu Manman frowned and saw what was in his hand.

It was a sachet embroidered with mandarin ducks.

He squeezed the sachet tightly, opened his mouth, and muttered something in his mouth.

Lu Manman approached and recognized his mouth shape, and he said, "Ayan, I broke my promise,"

He took a quick breath, his face was full of unwillingness, "I want to go back and marry...you...but...my Ah...yan..."

Before he finished speaking, his head slowly drooped, and the sachet was soaked in blood, and fell silently to the ground.

Lu Manman looked at the sachet blankly for a while, then walked over to pick it up.

"It's useless," Chu Jingchuan's voice suddenly sounded, "Didn't you realize that the soldiers around couldn't see us?"

Lu Manman's outstretched hand stopped.

He laughed at himself a little: "Yes, I can't see it."

Chu Jingchuan frowned and looked at her.

Lu Manman moved his shoulders, and seemed to have returned to normal, "Let's go, brother."

"Senior brother, junior sister," Mu Yunjin, who hugged the tree tightly, felt as if she had been forgotten, and tried to attract the attention of the two with louder cries.

Chu Jingchuan was a little irritable at the moment. He stood under the tree with folded arms, looked at the tree and said, "What? You still want me to carry you down?"

Mu Yunjin glanced at Chu Jingchuan's face, and flinched.

"No need."

Compared with those people below, he found that the senior brother was more scary.

Chu Jingchuan didn't make it difficult for him, he took a step back and said, "Come down, these people can't see you."

"Can't see it?" Mu Yunjin was still skeptical with tears in her eyes, "Really?"

Chu Jingchuan squinted at him: "Otherwise, do you think you can live till now?"

Mu Yunjin: "..."

That's a bit of a personal attack.

Knowing that these people couldn't hurt him, Mu Yunjin finally let out a long breath, stepped on the tree trunk, and stood up proudly.

Pretending to be the one who was scared and crying just now is not him, "Brother, stay away, I'm coming!"

Chu Jingchuan: "..."

What kind of idiot is this.

Lu Manman laughed out loud, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Pastor, has he always been like this?"

Chu Jingchuan glanced at her, "Well, it's not easy to grow so big."

"Brother," the first thing Mu Yunjin jumped off the tree was to run towards Chu Jingchuan. Chu Jingchuan pressed his sword against his body and said indifferently, "Stand here and talk."

"Why are you here? Master asked you to come?"

"No, Master doesn't know," Mu Yunjin said aggrievedly, "I found you with great difficulty, and senior brother is so cold."

Chu Jingchuan pursed his lips, and lowered the corners of his mouth.

Lu Manman turned his head sideways, keenly feeling Chu Jingchuan's depression.

It's because of his master.

However, in just a moment, Chu Jingchuan returned to his usual cold face, "You came here by yourself?"

Why didn't he believe that Mu Yunjin dared to come to this deserted Daze Mountain by herself.

Mu Yunjin: "There is also Senior Brother Pei Ning."

Chu Jingchuan: "What about others?"

The little fool shook his head. Not long after he entered Daze Mountain, he was drawn into this ghostly place.

When he opened his eyes, he was alone, and just happened to see a bloody head rolling over, he almost peed in fright, and ran to the tree a few times.

After listening to his narration, Lu Manman glanced down subconsciously.

Mu Yunjin: "..."

Junior sister, don't play hooligans.

Just as he was about to say a few words, he saw Chu Jingchuan stepping forward, covering himself tightly.

Mu Yunjin was so moved that tears streamed down her face, thinking that her senior brother should treat him well.

The fighting on the battlefield was still going on, several people turned around a few times, Chu Jingchuan focused his eyes on the man on the horse.

He has a handsome appearance and a tall and straight figure. The weapon he uses is a knife. His martial arts are unpredictable and he is very hostile.

Lu Manman followed his gaze and looked over, "Do you suspect that this man is Headless?"

"Well," Chu Jingchuan nodded, "I can't find another person with such a hostile spirit on this battlefield."

Lu Manman said, "Did he die on the battlefield?"

"No," Chu Jingchuan stared at the man, "If he died in battle, he wouldn't have such a strong aura."

The setting sun was like blood, and the corpses piled up into mountains. The man on the horse chopped off the head of the last enemy and collapsed powerlessly on the ground.

His face seemed to be washed with blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was the enemy's or his own.

Chu Jingchuan stood not far away.

The last ray of afterglow fell, the shadows of the trees moved in the distance, and a few birds landed on the treetops, singing a few long and lonely sounds.

The man was breathing heavily, looked at the sky in the distance, and smiled suddenly.

Suddenly, the scene in front of him changed, the blood on the battlefield faded, and houses rose from the ground.

The three of Chu Jingchuan appeared in front of a mansion, and the sign said General's Mansion.

The servants climbed up the room, stepped on the ladder, hung lanterns on the eaves, and decorated them everywhere.

Mu Yunjin: "Hey? Are you going to get married?"

Chu Jingchuan looked at the lantern, and Lu Manman looked at each other, and said, "Go, go in and have a look."

The environment in the courtyard is elegant and not particularly grand. The man riding a horse is sitting on a toffee chair, and on the other side is a swordsman in red.

The swordsman tilted his head and said suddenly: "Yibai, this time we have won the battle, let's go home."

The man understood what he meant, took a sip of tea, put his fingers on the tea cover, sighed and said, "Wei Hang, I have spent half my life fighting in battles. Goryeo has been destroyed in the north, and the Huns in the west have been pacified. Now only Southern Xinjiang is still about to move. The country has not been unified, how can I be reconciled?"

The three of Chu Jingchuan stood under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree beside them.

As they got closer, Chu Jingchuan felt that the person's name was a little familiar when listening to the conversation between the two. He pondered for a while, and said suddenly: "It's him."

Lu Manman looked up at him: "Who?"

Chu Jie said: "That Shen Yibai who was rumored to have died in battle—General Shen."

He Weihang frowned when he heard the words, "But now... don't you understand the master of meritorious deeds? The more so, the more worried the man in the palace is about you. When you regain the southern border, have you thought about your end? ? Have you... ever thought about me?"

Shen Yibai was stunned for a moment, he took off his battle robe, his whole demeanor changed, and now he had the elegance of a son of aristocratic family.

"Weihang..."

He Weihang didn't know the ambition in his chest. He lowered his head and swallowed a sip of tea, stretched out a finger and shook it, "Forget it, this is the last time."

"Well, for the last time," Shen Yibai smiled, "After the southern border is recovered, I will go home with you."

Neither of them expected that the emperor never gave Shen Yibai the chance to recover the southern border.

On the second day, the eunuch, the emperor's running dog, came with an imperial decree.

Shen Yibai half-kneeled on the ground, the eunuch looked down at him, and said arrogantly: "Shen Yibai, the guilty minister, plays tricks, deceives the people, intends to plot rebellion..."

Shen Yibai didn't hear the words clearly, he watched the eunuch open and close his mouth in disbelief, his anger became more and more intense, and he stood up abruptly.

"I don't admit to this crime!"

After speaking, he drew his knife and split the imperial decree in two.

The chief eunuch's face was pale, he took a step back, pointed at him with his fingers and said, "Bold! Shen Yibai, the emperor is right, you really want to rebel, come here..."

Jin Yiwei filed in one file at a time, pointing at Shen Yibai with Xiuchun knives neatly aligned.

Shen Yibai raised his head and laughed a few times: "It turns out that the emperor has long wanted to kill Shen..." He paused, then suddenly raised his head, and tapped the machete on the ground, "Today, Shen will learn how powerful the Xiuchun knife is."

The eunuch hid behind Jin Yiwei, "General Shen, I think it's better to say goodbye, after all..." He squeezed a jade pendant in his hand and shook it a few times, "After all, your father and mother are both in the imperial city."

Shen Yibai was stunned.

He raised his eyes and saw Jin Yiwei standing in a row holding a knife, stomping on the sweet-scented osmanthus that had fallen in the yard.

The old housekeeper stood aside, two streams of muddy tears flowed from his cloudy eyes, the parrot under the eaves flapped its wings restlessly, and the lanterns stained by the setting sun on the eaves were like blood.

His machete fell to the ground.

Wei Hang.

I can not go back……
