Chu Xunyu squatted by the stream to clean his bloody hands, rubbing away the blood stains bit by bit, and the feeling of fatigue surged in his heart. It was such a long time ago. This feeling called "tired" is so strange that it can make him feel exhausted both physically and mentally. The cultivator has long been with the world and does not need to sleep at night. The last time he felt this way, he was still in the war. He didn't expect that he could experience it again today. In fact, this is understandable. The military family is not good at medical treatment. He has to deal with the wounds of military, Gongshu and Shushan people. He is a little tired after relying on himself as a "doctor".

After washing his hands, Chu Xunyu stood up straight, turned around and wiped his hands clean. Sun Mengqing sat on the stone beside him, took out a water bag and two exquisite cups from the universe in his sleeve. After filling it up, he picked up a cup and drank it all. He closed his eyes and felt it for a long time before he let out a deep breath and sighed: "Don't you drink it? This is the 'Drunk Taibai' of Huanghelou."

Chu Xunyu looked up at her and responded with a sneer: "It is because you always pour this kind of thing into your stomach that your soul becomes more and more empty."

Sun Mengqing put down the cup without any expression on his face: "It's still so unforgivable. After so many years, it seems that it has not changed at all."

"You only know my identity?" Chu Xunyu said sarcastically.

"I know when you contradict me." Sun Mengqing narrowed his eyes and looked at the distant sky. "For so many years, only two people have dared to speak to me like this, and you are one of them."

"Remember, my name is 'Chu Xunyu' now." Chu Xunyu answered without raising his head. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. He turned his head and looked at Sun Mengqing carefully, then pointed at her and said strangely, "No, you are not just here to reminisce about the past with me."

"Oh?" Sun Mengqing was finally moved and turned to look at her with interest. A breeze blew, and a few strands of black hair walked around in front of him. He used his little hands to take back the naughty them, "What do you say?"

Chu Xunyu smiled meaningfully: "We have been dealing with each other for so many years, and have never talked so calmly as we are today. We have always spoken ill-heartedly. If you can change your personality in just ten years, then I won't believe it if you beat me to death. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Sun Mengqing nodded with a wry smile and said softly: "I need your help."

"That's how it is." Chu Xun sighed, sat next to Sun Mengqing, picked up another cup beside him, and took a sip. "The number of people in this team now reaches 40 or 50 people, and there are nearly 30% of the wounded. I have the responsibility to take care of them."

"I didn't say this, this is what you should have done." Sun Mengqing's face quickly fell silent, returned to his previous calm, and poured himself a cup, "What I need... is you and me fighting side by side."

"What?" Chu Xunyu was surprised, turned to look at her, and took a sip of wine thoughtfully, "Okay, I'm listening."

Sun Mengqing did not rush to say it, but picked up the cup and wanted to take another sip, but put it down again: "Do you know, our military strategists are probably the only one on this land of China that agreed to rescue that team."

"Then?"

"Then there is a restricted rescue." Sun Mengqing's tone began to show a faint sorrow, and he slowly told him, "The family disputes were very fierce. He originally did not agree to the rescue, but when I strongly advocated it, I reluctantly agreed. The price was to restrict me. I could only bring people who came here voluntarily, and I could not force or call other people based on my identity, because they were not willing to invest a large number of family elites here, so most of the people who came here are young people. Like the Gongshu, they are all little guys who have never experienced these things. Just because their relatives are trapped here, I need your help."

Chu Xunyu smiled angrily: "I can understand your invitation as a compliment to me. I didn't expect that I would be so proud of me. There are more people in the team who are more powerful than me, Wangchen, Gongshu Dengyun, Hounhuo, etc. Many of them have experienced wars between the two dynasties and are better than me."

"There is no one worthy of my trust except you." Sun Mengqing's tone was resolute, and the unquestionable general's tone appeared again. "Wangchen is a member of Tianji Pavilion. They rely on the way of heaven and calculate the world in the outside world. However, there is no way of heaven here. If the help of the way of heaven is lost, they are just a group of scholars holding books of sages. The people in Shushan may be reliable, but everyone in the world knows that they are passionate and bloody Taoist priests who have never considered doing things. For example, if you say there are evil things in front of you, they will not consider whether there are any traps and will rush over to fight for their lives. I will give them the word "public man" enough."

Chu Xunyu smiled bitterly: "The one who leads the team is called Tunhuo. You should have heard of him. I know Shushan people better. He is still normal and he is a bit rational in doing things."

"But I have never dealt with him, and it is strange to me. After all, I am from Shushan. I have been instilled with honest thoughts since I was a child. Maybe I will cause trouble for me at any time. As for the Gongshu Dengyun, forget it. I have heard rumors about him. There are dangerous factors lurking in him. It's too risky. After thinking about it, only you and I can trust it. Although I don't have the temper, I really need your help this time." Sun Mengqing said sincerely.

Chu Xunyu was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Can I ask, why do you have to try your best to promote this rescue trip?"

"Because Zhaoran's younger brother is inside." Sun Mengqing replied without raising his head, staring at the cup in his hand.

Chu Xunyu immediately understood the reason. Zhaoran, whose original name was Chen Zhaoran, was another descendant of the military strategist. More importantly, he was Sun Mengqing's fiancé back then. He was originally scheduled to get married after the end of the war, but something went wrong. If anyone else in this world except Chu Xunyu dared to contradict Sun Mengqing, then it must be this person.

During the war, Chen Zhaoran first helped Fang Shicheng, but unexpectedly, Fang Shicheng surrendered to the Yuan army in Xuzhou by chance. This was an unexpected change, so Chen Zhaoran left angrily and joined Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming army camp under Sun Mengqing's persuasion. At that time, he was appointed as the captain under Sun Mengqing's command.

During the Western Expedition, a small group of Yuan army escorted more than 60 Han people to flee south of Shaanxi. After being discovered, Chen Zhaoran wanted to take people to rescue them, but unexpectedly, Sun Mengqing was opposed by Sun Mengqing. Sun Mengqing keenly realized that something was strange. Logically speaking, the Yuan army should flee north and head towards his hometown in the grassland, how could it go south? And he also brought so many useless elderly, weak women and children, which is very unreasonable. More importantly, there are many mountains south of Shaanxi, where the terrain is extremely dangerous and easy to take risks. So he told Chen Zhaoran to be patient and wait, and send light cavalry to investigate clearly.

However, Chen Zhaoran disagreed because the Yuan and Meng army were cruel and delayed, it would inevitably lead to casualties in the innocent people. So he insisted on saving them. Sun Mengqing naturally refused. The two had a fierce quarrel in the tent. As a result, the next day, Sun Mengqing gave in and agreed that Chen Zhaoran would take 400 fast horse whistle cavalry and more than 30 cultivators from the headquarters to inquire and make a decision depending on the specific situation.

As a result, Chen Zhaoran never came back when he left. There was indeed an ambush in the valley. Chen Zhaoran led more than a dozen cultivators to guard the entrance of the valley and asked the others to retreat to report the news. In the end, all of these people were killed. When Sun Mengqing led the army to arrive, he only saw sixteen hard crossbows and long arrows in Chen Zhaoran's body and more than 60 injured corpses standing at the entrance of the valley, with his eyes wide open, piles of corpses under his feet, and his hands were still holding the necks of two Yuanmeng soldiers.

Seeing all this immediately, Sun Mengqing unexpectedly did not cry, scream, and did not faint. He just watched calmly as usual, just staring quietly, keeping looking...

Three days later, Sun Mengqing led his army to leave there, and behind him, only the bodies of more than 30,000 Yuanmeng soldiers were left...

Chen Zhaoran has a younger brother who had heard of Chu Xunyu. He couldn't remember the name clearly and didn't know such a person. He didn't expect that he was trapped here too. No wonder Sun Mengqing came here to rescue them.

"Do you know why I like drinking?" Sun Mengqing suddenly asked, looking at the wine glass in his hand, and asked and answered, "Because drinking this kind of thing can erase my feelings. You once said that I am a lunatic without feelings, so I have to tell you that sometimes, feelings can only affect my judgment. I have made a mistake once and will not make it again. So, I need your help." Sun Mengqing turned to look at Chu Xunyu and slowly stretched out his three fingers, "This is the third time I have invited you."
