Shen Li kept repeating these three words, and he couldn't help recalling the news that he had encountered an accident on the way from the capital, but he never believed it, and the facts proved that he did not.What happened, this time...it should be the same, and he didn't think about that at all.

Shen Li stood a little distraught, Gui Yun and Ting Yu supported him on one side, both of them showed worried expressions on their faces.

"Master, let's go back first, this matter...is not sure yet, let's wait." Ting Yu persuaded from the side.

Shen Li stared at the endless battlefield, and did not say a word for a long time.

Just when they thought he had compromised and was about to go back, Shen Li said lightly, "Go back first, I want...to be alone for a while."

"master……"

"Go back!" Shen Li withdrew his arm indifferently, the meaning in his tone was beyond doubt.

Gui Yun winked at Ting Yu, signaling him not to say any more, the two took a step back, and led the others back to the city gate.

"Don't talk about the master, I always feel...General Cui won't get into trouble so easily. After all...With his ability, since he can turn defeat into victory, how can he not save his own life." Ting Yu said to Gui Yun who was beside him.

Gui Yun sighed and said: "easy to dodge the spear in the open, hard to avoid a stab in the dark, this matter... who can say for sure, but... I heard someone say that he was indeed so fatally injuredWith a knife, now the corpses are scattered all over the field, and he...doesn't know where it is."

As the two spoke, they turned their gazes to the outside of the city gate, only to see that the person who was standing there just now had disappeared at some point.

"Where's the master?" Ting Yu asked.

Gui Yun shook his head, "He definitely won't be able to accept it now, maybe he should go calm down alone, we'll wait here."

Shen Li endured the uneasiness in his heart, and walked step by step towards the battlefield full of corpses.

Live to see people, die to see corpses.

One day he did not see his body, one day he would not believe it.

On the smoky battlefield, the pungent smell of blood filled his nose. The smell was disgusting. He dragged his white clothes and walked forward step by step.From time to time, went to rummage through it.

He never stopped, and when Gui Yun and Ting Yu saw him, it was already late at night.

The original color of the white clothes could not be seen clearly, it was stained with all kinds of blood, and it was extremely dirty. In their hearts, the master was always noble and holy, how could they see him like this.

Seeing the dirt all over his body and rummaging through it, he guessed what he had just done.

Ting Yu looked at this scene in disbelief, that person...is it really worth it for the master to do this?

Gui Yun couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward anyway.

He walked for a long time before reaching Shen Li's side, and said with a deep breath, "Master, why are you doing this? If he is really in danger, he definitely doesn't want you to see him like that."

Shen Li's hand paused slightly, looked at him, and said in a cold tone: "What did you say?"

Gui Yun knew that he definitely didn't want to hear that kind of talk, so he quickly changed the subject: "I mean...the people under General Cui's subordinates are also looking for him, if they are still awake, they have already found him..."

Shen Li lowered his eyes, ignored him, and continued with the matter at hand.

"Are you really going to tire yourself out?"

Shen Li's black hair was scattered in front of his body and back in a disorderly manner, so there was no trace of his previous appearance.

Seeing that he turned a deaf ear, Gui Yun grabbed his wrist, pulled him up, and said in a serious tone, "Stop! There are so many corpses, when are you going to find them!"

Shen Li froze on the spot, looking at the sea of corpses with a blank expression, as if his strength had been drained in an instant, but he still refused to admit defeat and said: "One day I don't see his corpse, and I refuse to believe it for a day, Gui Yun, don't stop me, I have... nothing to do in my life, but there is only one... I can't give up."

It's not yet winter, but the cold wind blows in late at night, making Gui Yun shiver uncontrollably, but the hearts of the people beside him have gone to nowhere, and they can't feel it at all.

Looking at him like this, the only light in his eyes seemed to disappear in the next moment, what he said was neither light nor serious, but Gui Yun couldn't bear to stop him, and slowly let go of his hand.

After letting go of his hand, he continued to search just like before.

Ting Yu walked from behind to Gui Yun's side, sighed helplessly, and said, "I've never seen him be so attached to anyone before. Could it be... we really want to watch him collapse?"

Gui Yun was silent for a moment, then said, "Of course not."

After speaking, he strode forward, and before Shen Li had time to react, a sharp knife slashed at the back of his neck.

Shen Li couldn't support his body at all, so he fell down with almost no extra reaction.

Gui Yun caught his body just in time.

Seeing this, Ting Yu hurriedly stepped over, and was startled by his behavior from ear to ear, "You...what are you doing?"

"Grandfather is stubborn, you and I both know that if he continues to let things go like this, he doesn't know when he will stop. Right now... that's all he can do."

Ting Yu said: "Aren't you afraid that he will wake up and punish you?"

Gui Yun resigned himself to his fate and said, "That's what happened after he woke up, and the situation in front of him should be resolved."

"Then... General Cui... are you still looking for him?" Ting Yu asked after hesitating for a moment.

Gui Yun thought for a moment, and said: "Whether he is alive or dead, let people try their best to find it. For the sake of the master, I don't want to let him have any accidents. If something happens to him if he is unlucky, then... his body should be found too..”

Ting Yu said clearly: "Well, I thought so too. After all, General Cui is not a bad person. It's a pity to die like this. It's just for the sake of the master. I'll take someone to look for it. You... settle him well..”

Gui Yun nodded and said, "I know, you should be more careful."

When Shen Li woke up again, it had been several days later, looking at the familiar furnishings in the palace, he still hadn't reacted for a while.

Sitting up and leaning against the head of the bed, his eyes were dazed for a long time, until Xunfeng opened the door and came in, he regained his senses slightly.

"Master, you are awake."

Xunfeng put the water basin on the bedside cabinet, with a reassuring smile on his face.

Shen Li didn't reply, he watched Xun Feng wipe the back of his hands indifferently, and Xun Feng whispered in his ears.

"Every time you go out for a long trip, you must rest for several days when you come back. Fortunately, there is no major problem with your body."

Shen Li turned a deaf ear to his words, and after realizing the situation, he asked directly: "How many days have I slept?"

Xun Feng hesitated for a moment, then replied, "It's been... five days."

"What about the people from Xiaoqi Camp?"

"They are all returning to the court one after another. I heard that the reward should be tomorrow."

Early the next morning.

The generals of the main army who have won the battle are all going to the court to reward their merits and increase their ranks. Among these people, only one person is missing.

When Emperor Xuanhui heard the news about Jin Zhao, he sighed regretfully, "Hey, General Cui is resourceful, brave and good at fighting. He is a good general of the country, but he never thought that he would die for the country this time. He is really jealous of a talent....sadly."

"Since the man has already left, let him be named..."

"Your Majesty, it's too early to pursue the title now!"

Emperor Xuan Hui hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by an indifferent voice.

Everyone looked at the door, and saw that they went up to the hall in black clothes, walked straight to their original positions, stood there straight, with an expression of indifference on their faces.
