C9 To hell (2/2)

”Grab here.”

”You have to give me tools!” Wei Yutian said with a sullen face, feeling wronged.

”Give you the tools? Beautiful, brothers, he won't let us fight. ”

”Don't, don't …”

Wei Yutian knelt on the ground and began to gently dig. He looked like he did not use much strength, but the pain was already unbearable. How could someone as delicate as him be able to endure the pain of his skin rubbing against the ground? The soldier was not satisfied with the outcome and directly slapped Wei Yutian in the face. The burning pain made him feel as if he was placed on fire.

Although they loathed and hated him, if they wanted to be as inhumane as Wei Yutian, these soldiers would probably never be able to do it. After that slap, Wei Yutian's movements clearly sped up a bit. Being forced into this situation, no matter how proud he was, he had no choice but to follow the instructions. After all, preserving his life was more important. His hand was quickly torn, and the pain made him grit his teeth and tear his lungs apart. By the time he was numb to it, his hands were badly mutilated.

It was unknown what Tong Shibai was thinking in his heart. He stood at the side of the canyon, and listened to the sound of the flowing water.

”What are you thinking about?”

At this time, Hu Xiong had already recovered from his stunned state. He was, after all, a Great General of the Jinnan, so his mental state should not be so battered that he would lose all signs of recovery. He came to Tong Shibai's side and faced him with an extremely calm expression. This might be the last time they would speak as allies. Perhaps the next time they would meet, it would be as an enemy.

Although Tong Shibai was not a good person, he still feared the chaos in the world. It was said that times were turning into heroes, and he had to face the chaotic times of war, with worry and excitement mixed in. This was the first time he had experienced such a feeling.

”squire brother, what do you think about all this chaos?” Tong Shibai asked.

Hu Xiong did not think too much, no matter what the world was like, he only cared about fighting. Regarding his future, he was the Great General of the Jinnan. As such, he already held a high position, so it didn't matter anymore.

”I don't have any thoughts. Whether or not the world is in chaos, the only thing that matters to me is whether or not I stand on the battlefield. He was a soldier anyway, so what if he didn't want to fight? At most, he would just die on the battlefield. ”In the end, they even set up the Jinnan's tombstone. Even if it means that it's not a wasted trip to this world, there's no such thing as a regret.” Hu Xiong said calmly. This was his most genuine thought, the purest thought of a soldier.

Tong Shibai didn't know much about Hu Xiong, but towards the other party's words, he felt an additional tinge of admiration in his heart.

”I never thought that squire brother would be so simple and straightforward. He actually established an immortal achievement, allowing it to be passed on through eternity. Have you not thought about it?” Tong Shibai questioned.

”Hahaha …” So what if he had obtained those things? In the end, it was just a pile of dirt. General Guo and General Zhu that made the world tremble, after many years, would anyone still remember their names? As for those who have already died, even if there was the Road to River Styx, they would not have anything in their hands. After crossing the Bridge of Helplessness, all the memories from their past lives would also vanish. ” Hu Xiong looked big and tall, but he had seen through the gains and losses in people's lives, but not everyone was as pure as him.

Tong Shibai no longer spoke, and only stood quietly in place. He was not Hu Xiong, and he had a lot of desires in his heart. Even though he was already in the position of Great General, he still hoped to lead the invincible Steel Cavalry of Yanyun to sweep across the Central Plains. This kind of feeling of accomplishment was something that Hu Xiong would never be able to understand.

After a moment of silence, Tong Shibai said softly: ”Can squire brother hand Wei Gou over to us? After all, it was us who caught them. ”

Hu Xiong did not have much desire to bring Wei Yutian back to the capital. If not for the Emperor's request, by the time he had killed the Chu and Tang Dynasties's soldiers, he would have already returned to the capital.

”Take him away!” When I go back, I'll just say that you guys beat me to it. ” Hu Xiong said straightforwardly.

Just as the Great General of the two countries were discussing endlessly, Wei Yutian had already dug a small hole with his bare hands, but unfortunately, he could not bury a single person at all. Although the pain was already numbed, blood continued to flow out, staining the ground red. His hands trembled non-stop and gradually lost strength. His speed became slower and slower.

Wei Yutian continued bleeding and finally fainted when his body couldn't take it anymore. Until he fainted, he could not personally bury any of the generals who desperately protected him. This would be one of the things that he would never be able to let go of after experiencing all the suffering in the world and coming to terms with it.
