The night was shrouded and the stars were dim.
On the bank of the Mi River, a bonfire burned alone.
The Qin Wolf Fang Flag had been hit by the rain and could no longer be raised in the evening wind. The number of people in the tents had been reduced because of the battle during the day. A low groan of pain came from it.
General Qi's death cast a mournful atmosphere over the quiet night.
Everyone had different thoughts as they mourned silently.
Qin Feng stood between the white tents and looked at the low morale of the people around him. He couldn't express his frustration, so he sang an ancient war song.
As he sang, countless soldiers followed suit. A low, desolate voice slowly drifted out from the camp.“
... beat the drums and beat the drums. Tuguo built Cao Cao City, and I went south alone.
He followed Sun Tzu Zhong to pacify Chen and Song. If you don't let me go home, I'm worried.
Where to live? Why did he lose his horse? What do you want? Under the forest.
Life and death are inseparable, and Zicheng is happy. I'll hold your hand and grow old with you.
I'm so sad that I can't live. I don't believe you…"
Fan Bei silently walked to his side. She had never heard such a song before. She only felt that this ancient song was able to harmonize the atmosphere and make people feel heartbroken.
Qin Feng looked at the heavy red flag and told Fan Bei,"This song was taught to me by General Qi. I didn't expect that the first time I sang it, it would be for him.”
Legend has it that after a person dies, they will become stars in the sky. Qi Wuwei, could you be one of them?
Fan Bai raised his head and looked at the few lonely stars in the sky. For the first time, he tasted the pain of death.
It turned out that after a person left forever, the remaining people would use this method to remember him. The songs that were sung, the flags that were raised…Everything related to him became heavy and they did not dare to touch it.
At this moment, she felt that she had returned to her original Sanskrit. Her heart was warm and she would feel sad for the departure of a person who she was not usually close to.
There were also those who had died along the way. Their families would probably remember them in various ways.
Fan Bei's eyes were a little moist. A year later, if he couldn't get the antidote, would he die too? If he died, would someone sing such a sad song for him?
She retracted her head and slowly returned to her tent. She had to make a detailed plan for tomorrow's battle.
This time, she didn't want a third person to know. " Yuan Hao…" Liu Tan lifted a corner of the tent and walked in.
In the tent, Yuan Hao was still kneeling in front of Qi Wuwei's bed. "I brought you some food. Even if you're keeping watch for the general, you should at least eat something.”Liu Tan moved his gaze away from Qi Wuwei and placed the plate in his hand in front of Yuan Hao. There was a bowl of noodles, a side dish, a pot of wine, and two rough porcelain bowls.
Yuan Hao didn't move and remained silent.
Liu Tan sighed and advised," I know that you have treated the general as your benefactor since you were young. Now that he is gone, you must feel bad. However, we still have to fight tomorrow. If you don't eat, how can we avenge the general?”
Yuan Hao slowly moved his body and looked straight at Liu Tan." I'm not hungry."”" Even if you're not hungry, you should at least eat some…" Seeing that there was movement, Liu Tan handed him a bowl of noodles and continued to persuade him.
Without thinking, he slapped it away and the noodles spilled all over the ground.
Liu Tan looked at the noodle sauce on his hand. The good-tempered him only wiped it on his clothes and lowered his head to say," If you really don't want to eat, I've prepared some wine here. Do you want to drink a few bowls with me?"”
As she filled the two bowls with wine, she picked up one bowl for herself and another for him.
Yuan Hao took it over. Liu Tan had just brought the bowl to his mouth and wanted to drink with him. Yuan Hao slowly poured the wine in front of the bed. This was a memorial ceremony for Qi Wuwei. Thus, Liu Tan put down the wine that was about to reach his mouth.
Yuan Hao finished pouring the wine and put the bowl back on the plate. Then he looked up at Liu Tan carefully and said word by word," I don't have the time to eat and drink like you do.”
Even the honest Liu Tan couldn't keep his face when he heard this. "Then what do you want? Even if you want to avenge the general, you have to wait until tomorrow!”"Did you hear what I said to Qin Qi?”Yuan Hao ignored his anger and asked directly. "What words?" Liu Tan was stunned and thought for a while." Are you talking about the General and His Majesty's views on the ambush before they died? Oh, I know, you're making this up. His Majesty didn't tell the general about this at all..."”Yuan Hao asked.
Liu Tan shook his head." I don't know." "I suspect that the ambush this time was because someone leaked our plan. I guess that person is Qin Qi.”Yuan Hao said without hesitation,
Liu Tan was shocked." Why did you suddenly think of this?”
Yuan Hao shook his head. He kneeled in front of Qi Wuwei's bed." Can't you tell? He wanted to drag His Majesty down with him, so he said those words to push the suspicion to His Majesty…"
Liu Tan opened his mouth wide and could not close it for a long time." Then..."" We will naturally follow the general's wishes to do these things and protect the Emperor. The general has already sent me an order to break away from the Empress Dowager's faction and support the Emperor to regain power.”
Yuan Hao said lightly.
Liu Tan hurried forward." Why haven't I heard the general say these things to me? Are we going to fall out with the Empress Dowager?" " There are many things that are beyond our imagination." Yuan Hao went to search Qi Wuwei's body. Liu Tan was shocked. This was an extremely disrespectful action. He was about to stop him when he saw Yuan Hao take out a letter from his bosom. He handed it to Liu Tan without even looking at it, saying," This was what the general wanted to give you. I didn't expect that I would have to do it for you. Take a look for yourself."”
Liu Tan hesitantly took it and opened it. The letter inside was Qi Wuwei's handwriting, and the content was exactly the same as what Yuan Hao had said.
" But how did you know that the letter was with the general…"
Yuan Hao smiled, but his eyes turned to Qi Wuwei. His tone was filled with endless regret and sadness." General treats me like his own son. How could I not know what he thinks?”
As he spoke, he took out a talisman from his body and showed it to him.”Liu Tan was shocked." The general has already given you the commander's seal?"”
Yuan Hao nodded." The general said a few years ago that if anything happened to him, I would take over his position.”
Liu Tan felt quite upset when he heard this. He had always been the person the General valued the most. His military rank was higher than Yuan Hao's. Moreover, Yuan Hao had always been unknown and did not seem to be the most outstanding…Now, with the General's death, he had such a different treatment. " You don't have to think too much about it…The general also said that I'll keep this thing with me, but he wants you to take over the army. One of us will be in the open, and the other in the dark. We'll protect the power that the general has gained over the years and use it where it's most needed…"
Yuan Hao seemed to have guessed his thoughts and said this.
Only then did Liu Tan realize what was going on. He smiled embarrassedly." Look at me, a man of dozens of years old. I can't believe I'm still doing this because of this…Cough, then should we tell the Emperor about this and tell him that we've decided to support him…"”Yuan Hao interrupted him. Liu Tan was puzzled." What the general needs to do is not to tell His Majesty about this. He needs to think that he is still isolated and helpless. He needs to train his mind and wait until he has no other choice or when he is forced to abdicate. Only then will he take out the commander's seal."”Yuan Hao explained.
Liu Tan nodded." That makes sense. Let His Majesty figure it out on his own. Let's not tell him about this yet…"
After explaining everything, Liu Tan and Yuan Hao made an alliance agreement with the person they respected the most. They wanted to complete what he had not done and help Qin Feng return to the throne.
Yuan Hao then poured another cup of wine and smiled. He and Liu Tan drank it in one gulp.
Heroes make an appointment, drink wine in the cup.
That night, Yuan Hao and Liu Tan were having a chat in the tent where Qi Wuwei's body was placed. Fan Bei studied the map and discussed with Qin Feng to make a plan for the next day.
As for Qin Qi, facing the dim light in the tent, he remained silent for the entire night.
He was still wearing the wet clothes, and his shadow was reflected in the tent, silent.
He was expressionless, but his heart was not calm.
He repeatedly thought of the scene that had appeared in front of him earlier, the two of them hugging each other.
It wasn't hard to guess Qin Feng's thoughts. Ordinary people had already determined his relationship with Fan Bei.
A rumor had already spread throughout the Nine Kingdoms that the King of Qin had brought a stunning woman with him. He doted on her deeply and was unwilling to leave her for a moment.
Various versions circulated among the people. Some said that Fan Bei was an extremely intelligent woman who gave him advice, some said that Fan Bei was a bewitching fox, and some said that she was the daughter of a god who came to the world to help him unify the mountains and rivers.
These guesses were also the information that his secret agents had gathered. They were all meaningless and were for those bored people to chat and laugh after dinner.
The truth was naturally different from the rumors. Qin Feng's love for Fan Bei was true. To him, Fan Bei was indeed someone sent by the gods to change his fate. No matter how you looked at it, this relationship was very precious. He didn't say anything because he didn't dare to tell her.
But who was the one who took the initiative today? Qin Feng wouldn't reveal his feelings to Fan Bei, but Fan Bei, could she…
Qin Qi suddenly smiled. What was he thinking? What was the point of pondering over this?
He massaged his temples, trying to clear these thoughts.
According to Fan Bei's true identity, they would have to…
If it was in the past, it might be possible, but the current situation…
Qin Qi shook his head vigorously. He didn't want to think about it anymore. He didn't want to think about these things anymore.
What he wanted to do was to become the King of Qin. As long as he became the King of Qin…
Qin Qi took a deep look at the candlelight and burst out laughing.
A woman whom he had just met, a woman who was going against him, how could it be…
Thinking of this, Qin Qi opened another piece of paper. There were four words written on it.
It was the brush and ink left behind by his father, who died early in Xianye County. Destiny.
After Qin Qi finished reading it, he closed it carefully. Destiny was his destiny. Wasn't it his destiny to sit in that position?
He finally got up and changed out of his clothes that were almost dried by his body temperature.
