Chapter 76: War (6)
After everyone left the tent, Zhou Yan turned around again and looked at the bloodstains on the ground. He felt annoyed and angry. With anger, he drew his sword again...
“This is…”
Feeling the chaotic sword energy coming from the tent where Zhou Yan was the only one, Gao Jin couldn't help but stop. Zuo Yu and Zhu Ji also stopped. For the three of them who were the last to leave the tent, although Zhu Ji was a civil servant, he also felt the strangeness coming from Zhou Yan's tent!
Zuo Yu, who had already lost an arm, still felt guilty about venting his almost crazy sword energy. As the person who had been with Zhou Yan for the longest time, Zuo Yu knew Zhou Yan's mood at the moment very well. Most of Zhou Yan's madness was caused by him. How could Zuo Yu feel without guilt?
"...Zaoyu, you don't need to blame yourself too much."
Holding the severed left arm for Zuo Yu, Zhu Ji tried to comfort him when he saw that Zuo Yu felt guilty. He knew what kind of person Zuo Yu was, so he knew how much guilt Zuo Yu felt, so he could only comfort him with words.
"If possible, I would rather die than see the prince so angry."
"It's not your fault. You have tried your best. Besides, you did it out of consideration for the prince who was in Weicheng at the time, so no one will blame you."
As subordinates themselves, Zhu Ji and Gao Jin could both understand Zuo Yu's approach. Although Zuo Yu's concern for Zhou Yan was unacceptable to Zhou Yan due to the change and severity of the situation, Zhou Yan might be able to understand and understand other things, but when it came to Yin Yin's matters, Zhou Yan would not consider them with his usual mentality.
"...Where is the princess now?"
"Weicheng!"
"Yeah!"
"What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing, that's all."
Zuo Yu suddenly mentioned Yin Yin's matter and then remained silent. Gao Jin and Zhu Ji were puzzled by this, and Zuo Yu's pale face showed that he was worried.
Afterwards, Zhou Cheng also received news that Zuo Yu's arm was chopped off by Zhou Yan...
"Oh, even Zuo Yu is not spared?"
"In this case, Your Majesty, I'm afraid the prince will not back down."
"I know this without you telling me. It seems that he is determined to go against me."
"Your subordinates deserve to die!"
"Forget it, you go out first."
"yes!"
Zhou Cheng was not the kind of person who would casually discuss political affairs with his subordinates, especially Zhou Yan's matter. In fact, it was Yin Yin's matter. If he was not an insider, he would not have needed to speak up. Moreover, it would not be good to let more people know. After dismissing his subordinates, Zhou Cheng began to think about his next plan alone...
After a while.
"Royal brother!"
"Well!"
Xinxin's voice came, Zhou Cheng raised his eyes slightly and looked over. Xinxin had already entered the tent. With Xinxin's arrival, the air was filled with a faint fragrance, a fragrance that was completely inconsistent made people feel relaxed and happy. Zhou Cheng, who had just frowned, relaxed his expression a little, from indifference to gentleness. Of course, this was due to the object of his gaze...
"What's wrong? Didn't I tell you to go to bed early? You have to leave for the palace early tomorrow morning."
There was a hint of affection in Zhou Cheng's reproachful tone, but it was not noticeable at all. In addition, the look and attitude he showed when looking at Xin Xin did not seem like he was reproaching someone.
"I couldn't sleep, and I saw that my brother was still awake, so I came to check on him."
"Why can't you sleep?"
Xinxin slowly walked towards Zhou Cheng and came to his side.
"Of course it's because of you and my second brother. How can I sleep peacefully seeing the two of you become like this ?"
"Don't worry about this, just take a good rest."
After hearing Zhou Cheng's words, Xinxin walked around Zhou Cheng's side without saying a word, and then gently hugged Zhou Cheng with her arms. This action surprised Zhou Cheng greatly, but the warmth he felt from Xinxin gradually calmed Zhou Cheng's heart...
"Royal brother, you guys are not really going to fight, are you?"
From behind, Zhou Cheng felt Xinxin trembling. The three of them, including Zhou Yan, were close relatives by blood, so Zhou Cheng could understand Xinxin's feelings at the moment. Both he and Zhou Yan were trying to avoid Xinxin being involved in the war. Xinxin was their most beloved sister. To both of them, Xinxin was the purest and flawless existence, so no matter what happened, she would not be involved. This time was a complete exception and completely unexpected.
"Xinxin!"
Xinxin's uneasiness was shaking Zhou Cheng's heart. If possible, why would he want to go to war with Zhou Yan? After all, maybe it was not an exaggeration to say that this matter was caused by him. He was the one who abandoned Yin Yin at first, and then he hurt her deeply, and even almost killed Yin Yin. Compared with Zhou Yan, who loved Yin Yin from beginning to end, he was not as qualified as Zhou Yan to get Yin Yin. So he had thought that if it was Zhou Yan, he might give up. But since Zhou Yan hurt Yin Yin so badly, Zhou Cheng no longer hesitated. They had both hurt Yin Yin and were in a completely equal position. At this time, no matter who it was, whoever gave up first would lose forever, so they were so deadlocked, not hesitating to turn against each other, and not hesitating to confront each other head-on and ignite the war!
