Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

Chapter 138 Baicheng Frost (7)

Baichengshuang opened his eyes, with tears still hanging from the corners of them.

Ye Ziqi was still standing not far away, with his head bowed, half sleepy and half awake, when he heard some movement here, he cheered up: "General——"

"Yes." Baichengshuang responded, "Ye Shichang, thank you for your hard work."

"Ah? This is what subordinates should do." Ye Ziqi replied hastily.In this dark and treacherous underground palace, Ye Ziqi was afraid that there would be another sneak attack by monsters, so he didn't dare both of them to sleep to death, so he didn't fall asleep much in the past two days, and he was very sleepy at the moment.Baichengshuang first expressed his condolences.

Seeing the same tired look on Baichengshuang's face, Ye Ziqi couldn't bear to tell her that it was almost the end of the day, and Baichengshuang had slept for six hours in this sleep. The signs of weakness showed that she was also tormented by continuous pain.

If things go on like this, the situation will definitely get worse and worse, but not all the darkness hides a turning point, and there is nothing to do right now.

"Ye Shichang," Bai Chengshuang said again, she didn't rush to stand up, she just leaned on the stone wall, raised her head to Ye Ziqi and asked, "If you can get out from here, what are you going to do?"

"Naturally follow the general and fight the horse thief again." Ye Ziqi said without hesitation.

But Baichengshuang shook his head: "I'm not talking about that, I'm asking, besides fighting, have you given up your military position, is there anything else you want to do, or is there anyone you want to meet?"

Someone you want to meet?
Ye Ziqi thought to himself, if he had a chance, he would of course want to confirm Gu Feng's safety.Then, the person who gave him the giant leaf also... But, now is not the time to think about this, thinking about this problem should not be useful for breaking the barrier.

"The subordinate didn't think about it, I don't know why the general would ask this?" Ye Ziqi asked.

"I had a dream." Baichengshuang said softly, "I dreamed of some people, and then I couldn't help but think that there is no one, and I went out to meet them."

Ye Ziqi frowned upon hearing this——

Baichengshuang didn't wake up!
Even if there are only two people here, Baichengshuang is also a general, and he is also a soldier. The two people have different identities, and they are far from the point where they can talk heart-to-heart, and now is not the time to chat.

Baichengshuang's words now, in his opinion, can only mean that Baichengshuang has been tortured to the point where he is not so clear-headed, so that he wants to say something from his heart regardless of the occasion, and he can only deal with it.

"The general was joking." Ye Ziqi replied: "The lord is still concerned about the general's safety in Hanye City. Father and daughter love each other very much. The general should go back and report that he is safe, so that the lord can feel at ease."

"Father... indeed." Bai Chengshuang laughed at himself, and said, "But it's not me that Father misses."

"The general's words, the subordinates can't understand." Ye Ziqi frowned even tighter, let's forget about mental weakness, could it be that his mind is sleepy and confused?

"Father is not a person who loves sons and daughters, father...sees very far." Baichengshuang said quietly: "Father thinks that the barbarians are fighting more and more every year, and it will be a matter of time before they threaten the country. Defending the enemy wholeheartedly is not a long-term strategy.

My father hopes that I can marry a prince in the Central Plains, learn more about how to please men, and let the Baicheng family have a refuge for the whole family in the future. When the barbarians are weak, I can rely on my father-in-law to restore the country. "

"General!" Ye Ziqi interrupted, feeling that it would be treasonous to ask Bai Chengshuang to continue.

Baichengshuang smiled: "I am the king's pawn, so I don't really want to see him."

"Then..." Ye Ziqi said again: "The general once said that Mr. Qi treats you very well. I think that Mr. Qi was able to let me go out of the camp with a soldier talisman, and it was because of the general's face. Such a big event, he always shields the general. , should be someone who is concerned about the safety of the general."

"Even if we meet, I can't do anything for Elder Qi." Baichengshuang sighed, "And, Elder Qi...has me."

Ye Ziqi grinned slightly.

What the hell is this?

The old man hated the princess?Then why didn't he slap himself to death when he knew that he was working for Baichengshuang that night?Even when he was mad and venting his anger, he shot away the captain of the guard who was in charge of Baichenghou's safety, but he let himself go on purpose?
"Then there's your master, maybe he hasn't—" Ye Ziqi couldn't continue talking when he said this, Lian Hongye couldn't possibly be alive no matter what he thought, this kind of comforting words even made him feel uncomfortable Can't be fooled.It's just that, for a while, he really can't think of anyone else who is on good terms with General Shuang.

Seeing the sadness on Baichengshuang's face, Ye Ziqi said, "This subordinate made a mistake."

Baichengshuang didn't mean to blame, but just added a frown, and said softly: "Teacher...Actually, General Lian hasn't recognized me as an apprentice yet."

Ye Ziqi began to suspect that it was him who hadn't woken up yet.

"General, could it be that my subordinates heard it wrong?" Ye Ziqi asked suspiciously: "Everyone in the barracks knows that you and General Lian are masters and apprentices."

"Well, but this is what I called 'teacher'."

When Baichengshuang said this, she lowered her cheeks, and her eyes fell on the knee with one leg curled up, but her eyes were a little absent-minded, her face was gentle as if she was recalling the past.

"General Lian has always refused to accept me as an apprentice, but he couldn't stop me from calling him 'teacher'. Because General Lian taught me a lot in martial arts and leading soldiers, I wanted to call him that. When he objected , I said, the courtier dares to restrain the princess? He will have nothing to do with me."

"But, the teacher is right. What's the use of accepting the apprentice who can't save the teacher?"

Baichengshuang lowered his chest, clasped his slender hands on his legs and knees, and rested his forehead on the back of his hands.The light no longer illuminates her face.

But the silence did not end in this tomb.

"General, my subordinates don't think so."

Bai Chengshuang was slightly startled, raised his eyes, Ye Ziqi was standing in front of her, and said in a firm tone: "I heard from the veterans of our second guard that every time General Lian talked about the princess, he thought very much that Ju Guo could have such a horse." The princess who fought is proud. General Lian must have been very happy when he heard the princess called 'Teacher'."

"Is that what your second guard soldiers said?" Baichengshuang asked.She had served as an officer in both the first and third guards, but she had little contact with the soldiers of the second guard.

Ye Ziqi nodded affirmatively: "This subordinate thinks that General Lian didn't want to accept the princess as his apprentice openly because he didn't want to get too involved with the royal family to avoid suspicion; , speak for the princess, otherwise it will make people feel that they are following an affair."

Baichengshuang murmured, "Then why didn't he tell me?"

"This subordinate thinks that General Lian must also be thinking about the princess."

Baichengshuang's eyes trembled, his face sank, and he buried himself in the crook of his arms.

How could she not think about such a thing?
But even so, so what!
She doesn't care about other things, even if it's emotional, she just hopes that person can admit that she is a "disciple".

She has always been a tool for her mother to maintain her status, and a pawn for her father to seek a way out.

She can accept all of these.

However, apart from "tools" and "chess pieces", she still hopes that she can have other identities to others.

I want to clarify my position and confirm the meaning of my existence by establishing relationships with others.

Even for such a small wish... it's too late.

Baichengshuang curled up, tears dripping silently on the ground, then raised his head, and said to Ye Ziqi:

"You still think of me as a general."

Ye Ziqi was startled when he heard the words, and after a few turns of his brain, he finally understood what Baichengshuang meant—this time, Baichengshuang came in disobedience to the lord's order, and lost half of the three guards, not only at the moment With no soldiers to fight, even if he returned to Hanye City safely, he would be severely punished, and he would no longer be the head of the three guards.

But there was a stubborn energy that prevented Ye Ziqi from thinking about such things, and replied: "General, he is a general in the first place."

After hearing this, Baichengshuang didn't respond, and stared at Ye Ziqi motionlessly. After a while, she stood up expressionlessly and said:
"Just now, the general seemed to have a dream."

Ye Ziqi was completely dumbfounded this time.

No, it's not that you had a dream, it must be that I haven't woken up yet!
Fortunately, the old demon reminded him loudly that Baichengshuang was looking for a way out for himself, so he suddenly realized, and replied:

"The subordinate also just woke up."

Baichengshuang nodded approvingly, and said: "You have worked hard at the night watch for the past two days, now go to sleep for a while, if you still don't feel at ease here, I will wake you up when I arrive."

"No, this subordinate is fine." Ye Ziqi shouted immediately, insisting on working with Baichengshuang.

Baichengshuang had no choice but to agree.So, the two went from house to house to check whether there was a hidden door in the underground palace.

The giant cauldron with will-o'-the-wisps in the main hall, every knife and gun on the weapon rack in the south room, the graphic pattern on every medicine box in the pharmacy, the smashed alchemy furnace in the east hut and the pills that fell out of it. They checked the medicine residue, the gluttonous patterns on the gate, and even the roofs of the houses carefully with the lamps, but still found nothing.

In the past two hours, Ye Ziqi was finally unbearably sleepy, so he lay down at the door of the pharmacy to catch up on sleep.Before going to sleep, he repeatedly asked Baichengshuang to wake himself up before midnight, and he would continue to keep watch.

Baichengshuang readily agreed.

In the dark underground palace, Baicheng Shuanggu held up a candle to look for life.

Returning to the two weapon racks, he carefully looked at each monster's collection of weapons.

Two or three hours later, she felt hot and burning, and she stumbled back to the room where the medicine boxes were piled up.

When she passed the door, she didn't wake Ye Ziqi up.

no need.

She grabbed the wall and sat leaning on the ground. Although her body was trembling with pain, she clenched her teeth, and the karma between her pupils was burning.

This night, she will not sleep deeply.
