C21 (2/2)

Kong Sheng didn't care about the surprise at all. He bent down on his horse and extended his hand towards the girl. ”Get on the horse, let's go!”

The young lady extended her arm out towards Kong Sheng, the two palms came into contact and firmly grabbed onto each other. Then, with Kong Sheng's sudden increase in strength, the young lady used her strength and jumped onto Kong Sheng's horse. Just before she landed on the warhorse, she threw out something that she had been holding in her hand.

It wasn't until that thing crashed onto the ground some distance away that the riders finally reacted. Another wave of cold sweat broke out from the back of the riders' back. Just how much strength did this girl have? Ignoring the fact that it was impossible for an ordinary person to throw such a huge object and the stones that had rained down, just to throw it at such a distance was something that ordinary people definitely couldn't do.

The moment he forcefully pulled Xiu'er onto the horse, he had completely ripped open the wound on his right shoulder. His overworked body and the large amount of blood loss made it impossible for him to endure any longer.

Three whole days later, Kong Sheng woke up. He stretched a little, but his right shoulder was still aching. Kong Sheng casually grabbed a cloak and put it on before slowly walking out of the room. He wanted to go up the city wall to have a look.

Just as he walked out of the door, Kong Sheng was stopped by Zhao Handong who hastily rushed over. Zhao Handong pushed him back into the chair: ”Old Kong, before your injuries have fully healed, you are not allowed to go anywhere!”

Kong Sheng laughed bitterly: ”Aren't I alright ~ ~ ~ about that, there's no movement from Mo Qiu's side, right?”

Zhao Handong rolled her eyes at him, then casually lit up the smoke bag as he took a smoke, and said: ”There are no movements, we are both watching day and night, don't worry.”

Kong Sheng asked again: ”About that, are the grains that we got enough to eat?”

Zhao Handong rolled his eyes at him again, ”Haven't you counted if you didn't have enough to eat? More than a hundred people brought back two to three thousand jin of grain. It should not be a problem to stay here for three to five days. ”

Kong Sheng nodded his head, and said with embarrassment: ”Oh oh, that's good, that's good, hmm.”

Zhao Handong tilted his head and looked at Kong Sheng, then said: ”The city walls are fine, there's enough food, it's my turn to ask you.”

Kong Sheng smiled along. ”I'm fine too, I'm really fine.”

Zhao Handong rolled his eyes for the third time. The power was so strong that when Kong Sheng was worried about whether his eyeballs would fall out, he was surprised to see a swear word from the whites of his eyes.

After rolling his eyes, Zhao Handong cleared his throat and asked, ”Let's delay the matters with Lady Xiu’er for a while. Let me ask you first, why are you trying so hard this time? I've asked around and understood everything. Your subordinate said that you're going to risk your life and you don't want to come back alive. Is that what you mean? ”

Kong Sheng curled his lips: ”When have I not been in the front ~ ~”

Zhao Handong glared at him. ”Old Kong! We're all from the martial arts world, so it's fine to lie to others like this, but do you want to lie to me, Old Zhao? No way! I don't care whether or not you are a surrogate commander, but you are my brother! I can't just watch you throw your life away! Furthermore, you said earlier that you would tell me the reason when you returned. Now that you're back, and you're still alive, can you tell me? ”As a man, are you not going to keep your promise when you're ready to speak?”

Hearing such intense words, Kong Sheng lowered his head in silence. Zhao Handong did not rush him, and instead sat by his side, puffing on his pipe.

When he almost finished all the cigarettes in the bag, Kong Sheng sighed and said, ”You said that it has something to do with the Lady Xiu’er, right? It doesn't matter, nor does it. If you really want to hear it, I'm afraid you have to start from the day I went to the Imperial Military Academy. ”

Zhao Handong snorted, he stood up and walked to the door and shouted, ”Bring me a pot of tea! Say it to the kitchen, and bring me and Lord Kong's food over as well. I'll eat here today! ”

Zhao Handong casually turned around and sat back down on his chair, then he smiled at Kong Sheng, ”There's food to eat, water to drink, and no demon lackeys attacking the city. I have plenty of time to waste with you! ”

Kong Sheng laughed bitterly and shook his head. When the guards brought the tea over, he poured a cup of tea into his mouth. The bitter aroma of the tea and the boiling hot tea stimulated his throat and stomach. After a long while, he opened his mouth and gently said, ”Lady Xiu’er is really very similar to Ye Qing.”
