New Chapter 42 Can you stay? 【Chapter Change】
Not only Yan Xiaoyi was attentive, but also Uesugi Tiger next to him.
Gathering the few soldiers around him, Uesugi Tiger glanced at the murderous Zhou Ji, Fan Xian and others with some resentment and helplessness.
If he was not injured and all the soldiers were there, he might still have a chance to get Sean back. But now, even Yan Xiaoyi, who was so arrogant, was frightened away by Zhou Ji's gaze. He was hit by an arrow in the shoulder.
Most of the soldiers under his command have been killed or injured, so there is no point in forcing them to stay.
It's better to leave for now and look for another opportunity when I go to Beijing.
........
Noticing Uesugi Tiger's retreat, Fan Xian breathed a sigh of relief.
After Yan Xiaoyi escaped, he was actually a little worried that Uesugi Tiger would take the opportunity to counterattack, so he kept a close eye on the movements of the Northern Qi cavalry and did not relax his vigilance.
Turning his eyes to Fan Ruoruo, who was not far away, Fan Xian pushed away Guo Baokun, who was noisy in front of him, and ran quickly, asking with concern: "Ruoruo, are you okay? Are you injured?"
"Brother~" Fan Ruoruo cried so hard that she glanced at Zhou Ji's indifferent back. She blamed herself and felt aggrieved and said, "I'm fine, but Zhou Ji's hand, his hand..."
Fan Xian followed Fan Ruoruo's gaze and couldn't help but freeze his eyes. He saw that Zhou Ji's palm hidden behind his back was bleeding, the skin and flesh on the inside were rolling, and the bones were faintly exposed deep in the wound.
"You go over there first and I'll talk to him for a while."
Fan Xian was originally a little angry at Zhou Ji's scolding words.
Even though there was nothing wrong with Ruoruo, when faced with a life-or-death crisis, her first reaction was to rush out and block Zhou Ji's arrow.
For this friendship alone, Zhou Ji shouldn't have said such words!
But now looking at Zhou Ji's slightly trembling right hand, what can he say?
Poisoners and doctors know no difference. Fan Xian knows how to use poisons as well as medical skills. He naturally knows that when the pain in the wound reaches a certain level, there will be physiological trembling. This is not Zhou Ji's original wish, but more like the wailing of flesh and blood.
"sorry."
"sorry."
Zhou Ji looked away from the direction in which Yan Xiaoyi escaped. When Uesugihu and Yan Xiaoyi retreated, it was not only Fan Xian who breathed a sigh of relief, but also him.
Turning to look at Fan Xian, the two of them were silent at the same time, and then spoke at the same time.
"I once said that I wouldn't let you and Ruoruo see each other again, but I didn't expect that she would chase you here and almost drag you down." Fan Xian knew why Zhou Ji apologized, so he couldn't help but sigh and said with a bitter smile: "Actually...
You don’t have to be so resistant.”
Zhou Ji shook his head. He grew up in the quarrels between his parents. Later, after the two parties divorced, they had their own new homes. He also started living alone in junior high school. When he grew up, he was used to being alone and enjoying loneliness. As a bystander,
Look at feelings from a different perspective and become one of the vast number of 'keyboard warriors' and 'reasonable guests'.
"I don't want to fall in love right now."
"She's a good person."
"I'm not good enough for her."
Rejection of the Three Links seems particularly appropriate here and now, or perhaps they are appropriate for any occasion and time, so much so that Zhou Ji wants to find other reasons to replace them.
"It is impossible to say that I am not moved." Zhou Ji said softly, "But what I need now is not a love that has a beginning and an end."
Rather, it is a way to find immortality while maintaining your youthfulness and vitality.
The road ahead is long, and Zhou Ji doesn’t know where the next world will be.
From the day he decided to leave the 'real world', he set a preliminary plan for himself: to find the elixir of immortality within five years as much as possible.
It's obvious....this world can't do it.
Fan Ruoruo asked for a first aid kit from Wang Qinian and looked at the two people walking towards them with a hesitant look on his face, as if hesitating whether to step forward to bandage Zhou Ji's wound.
Guo Baokun fell to the ground with a dazed look on his face, looking at everyone with a complicated expression.
Perhaps care leads to chaos. He was only thinking about how to save his father along the way. It wasn't until he was pushed away by Fan Xian that he suddenly realized a problem he had never considered.
If Fan wants to pursue the mission, does Fan Xian know? Does Fan's family agree?
Did I do something wrong again?
He followed Sean back to the mission in a daze. Just watching Sean being shackled layer by layer and put into a prison van, Guo Baokun suddenly had an idea and a new hope in his heart.
This trip to the Northern Qi Dynasty as an envoy is extremely dangerous. If I accompany you all the way, I might be able to make some achievements and go back to exonerate my father!
Guo Baokun patted his thigh and nodded: "I am really a genius!"
Wang Qinian was startled by the startled Guo Baokun. Although he didn't know what stupidity this guy was committing, his optimistic and innocent character was indeed enviable.
In the tent, Fan Xian carefully sutured Zhou Ji's wound, while Fan Ruoruo stood beside him with his head lowered, not daring to look at the wound.
"Ruoruo, I will find some personal guards to send you and Guo Baokun back early tomorrow morning. You can explain yourself to Dad and Aunt Liu." Fan Xian is quite skilled in suturing. He has been digging graves and dissecting corpses with Fei Jie since he was a child, and reluctantly
It can also be regarded as "Nanqing Corpse Sewer"...
"When you go back, stay in Kyoto and don't run around again." Fan Xian said while sewing stitches, not forgetting to tie a bow at the end.
"I don't!" Fan Ruoruo said stubbornly, "I want to go to Northern Qi with you."
Fan Xian frowned slightly, raised his eyes and said, "Don't be willful! This mission is very dangerous. Just stay at home. We will be back before spring."
He had never said harsh words to Fan Ruoruo, and his tone at this time already contained impatience, and even Zhou Ji, who was silent by the side, could hear it.
"Come back? You will come back, but what about him!" Fan Ruoruo is not the kind of unreasonable woman. She is usually considerate, smart and cute, but at this time she reveals another kind of personality buried deep in her bones. She dares to love.
Dare to hate, paranoid and stubborn.
"If you leave and never come back, does this side mean goodbye forever?"
Fan Ruoruo took a step forward, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a stubborn light flashed in her eyes, "Zhou Ji, let me ask you one last question, do you really want to leave?"
Zhou Ji looked at Fan Ruoruo with some surprise, then turned his eyes towards Fan Xian, as if he was questioning Fan Xian's secret leak.
Fan Xian returned an innocent look, indicating that he didn't know anything about it either.
"You don't have to look at my brother, I figured it out from the scattered maps in your room." Fan Ruoruo noticed the eye contact between the two and said in a deep voice, "I just want to ask you a question...can you
Can’t you leave?”
Zhou Ji closed her eyes slightly, suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her heart, and pretended to be calm: "I don't belong here, and I will leave sooner or later."
Fan Ruoruo turned to look at Fan Xian, as if she wanted Fan Xian to help persuade her, with tears in her eyes filled with prayers.
Fan Xian shook his head and sighed, with a wry smile on his face.
Some things cannot be persuaded by others. Once you have a decision in your heart, it is useless even if you are a friend.
Fan Ruoruo's eyes were a little disappointed, the light dimmed, as if her heart had died.
"Brother...send someone to take me back tomorrow."
Looking up, a hint of determination flashed from the depths of his eyes. Fan Ruoruo wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a straight face: "Zhou Ji, it doesn't matter if you don't like me. A man as cringy and timid as you is not worthy of my liking.
!”
"This meeting is our last farewell. From now on, we will say goodbye and never see each other again!"
One farewell and two widths, never see each other again.
Zhou Ji closed her eyes slightly to hide the turmoil in her heart, and finally sighed softly, nodded and said: "One farewell, two wide, we will never meet again."
After saying that, he picked up the sword box next to him with his left hand and limped out of the tent with his hunched body.
