Chapter 52 Lu Hai Kongs special

Another night that snow didnt rest.

The carbon in the fire pot slowly burned, making the room warm.

Lu Hai Kong frowned and slowly opened his eyes. The right eye is muddy, the left eye is clear. Theres always a side thats dark in his world.

He blinked to disperse the sleepiness. The first hangover in his life. It made the inexperienced him have a splitting headache.

Lu Hai Kong rubbed his forehead and sat up.

Woken up?

A womans gentle voice sounded in his ears. For a moment Lu Hai Kong was startled. In the past, only Yun Xiang will stay by his side at this time. Lu Hai Kong was lost in his thoughts. Before he looked up and saw who the person is, a pair of soft hands like they didnt have bones, pressed his temples. Gentle they massage him.

Next time dont drink so much. The one who will be suffering is still yourself.

Its not Yun XiangYun Xiang will only pat his head and scold him: Brat, the good things you dont learn. What, drink wine? You deserve to have a headache.

Moreover, now its impossible for Yun Xiang to be by his side

With one movement, he shoved away the womans hands. Lu Hai Kong looked coldly at her: Has nobody told you? Not allowed to just enter my room and also dont touch me.

The person is Lu Lans goddaughter named Lu Xin. She is a gentle woman.

The moment she heard those words from Lu Hai Kong, she froze. She retrieved her hands and with some helplessness and stood by the bed.

Im sorry, its godfather who lets me come. He said you got drunk last night and to let me take care of you here. Just now..I just wanted to make you feel more comfortable.

He didnt know how to answer.

Lu Hai Kong rubbed his forehead. In his head couldnt help but pop out a figure. It has a little anger on it and jumped next to his ear: Dont let to touch? Will you break if you get touched a little? Come, let me see if youll really break.

He said a sentence. Almost without thinking, in his mind, he will get the answer of that person. Its like maggots in his bones, making him unable to remove it.

Lu Hai Kong only feels defeated. He lost to the haunting person in his heart. Or maybe in front of her, he has never won.

Lu Hai Kong covered his face and sighed: You should get out. In the futuredont freely come in my room. No matter who say it, its still forbidden.

Lu Xin hung her head full of injustice. She was silent for a while before she whispered: Theres porridge on the table. I made it last night. It has been simmering on the fire. You should eat a little

If he eats it, Yun Xiang will probably get angry. Yun Xiang temper has always been bad, besides she gets jealous really easily.

Lu Hai Kong did as if he didnt hear her words and only coldly said: Get out.

Lu Xin bit her lips. In the end, she went out.

Lu Hai Kong got of his bed and wore his shoes. He washed simply, put on armor and went out.

Outside, the snow is flying all over the sky and sprinkled on the ground, making it silver.

Lu Hai Kong frowned invisibly. Yesterday, the snow also sprinkled like this. Last years yesterday, the snow also sprinkled like this. The snow took away Yun Xiang and also buried her.

Lu Hai Kongs footstep went to the training grounds. Its already been a year since Yun Xiang left the world. Theres emptiness in his heart. He learned to fill it with something else. He listened to Yun Xiang. He will live this lifetime well. He will use all his efforts to stay alive. He doesnt want to betray Yun Xiangs last wish.

Time passed away lightly. Three years passed away. Lu Hai Kong finished the hairpin rite. Lu Lan called him to the study: Hai Kong, you know I trust you, but now the fight with the court turned more intense. When you go to war, you like to take great risk

Lu Hai Kong said: If uncle has something to say, say it directly.

Lu Lan was silent for a moment and sighed: I, an old man, its not good to say too much. These few years, I also have urged it several times. Now, you already did the hairpin rite, but you dont even have a concubine. Its not that Im forcing you to get married, but you should at least leave a descendant for your parents and also to comfort their spirits.

Lu Hai Kong looked at the ground and didnt speak.

Can you not see that goddaughter of mine Lu Xins mind? She waited for you so many years. Shes nearly becoming and old maid!

Lu Lan sighed.

I know who you still miss in your heart, but Song Yun Xiang is already gone. So many years has passed, you should also put it down.

Uncle.

Lu Hai Kong looked at Lu Lan and laughed bitterly: The promise between Song Yun Xiang and Lu Hai Kong is not a thing to hold in the palms of the hands. She is wrapped in my bones. Now, uncle wants me to put it down. Does uncle want me cut out all of my bones and become a crippled person?

Lu Lan was slightly angry: You, this kid!

Lu Hai Kong has never picked up Song Yun Xiang and is more not qualified to put her down.

After saying that, he bowed deeply to Lu Lan.

Uncle, sorry. That Lu Xin lady, you should advise her to marry another.

After talking to Lu Lan, Lu Hai Kong didnt return to his room. He turned and went to the little yard where Yun Xiang used to live.

The furnishing here is the same as before. Not even a half point has been moved. Only the breath of that person has disappeared.

Lu Hai Kong quietly lay on the couch. He curled himself. Suddenly he remembered that time when they were on their way to the north; he had nightmares ever night. Yun Xiang patted his back then again and again to comfort him.

In fact Lu Hai Kong knows; every night she didnt sleep well. He hated the him who couldnt get out of the nightmare. He also felt sorry for Yun Xiang. After, he couldnt stop himself from being more dependent on her.

The feelings he has for Yun Xiang are feelings between a man and a woman. Theres also many things mixed beside the feelings of a man and a woman. In this life, theres no one who can replace those things.

A bunch of frantic footsteps came to the little lard. Lu Hai Kongs heart tightened. He sat up. His reminscing expression instantly disappeared.

With a zhi ya sound, the door was pushed open by someone. Lu Xin stood at the door and looked in the room for a while. Her feet were about to come in, Lu Hai Kong coldly stopped her: Dont move.

He got off the couch and walked to Lu Xin.

If you have something to say, say it outside.

He didnt want to let anything to destroy the quietness in this room.

Lu Xin stared at him with red eyes. The always docile her seemed to not have heard Lu Hai Kongs words. She hung her head and asked: Godfather sayyou let me to marry another.

Lu Hai Kong frowned: Talk outside.

His heels wanted to head out of the room, but his hand has been grabbed by Lu Xin who stood at the doorway.

I can not have a title. I just want to be by your side. Hai Kong, dont drive me away, alright?

Dont quarrel here, Yun Xiang will be angry.

This sentence is like opening the scar on Lu Xins chest. She looked at Lu Hai Kong.

Tears flowed to outside: Why is it Song Yun Xiang again?! Why up to now, are you still aboding to the rules she left?! Hai Kong, be a little more sober. Look carefully, theres no Song Yun Xiang by your side anymore. She goneshes already gone..

After her last words, Lu Xin couldnt make any sounds. Perhaps, she also knew that that speech simply cant shake the position of Yun Xiang in Lu Hai Kongs heart.

Lu Hai Kong shook away Lu Xins hand that was holding his hand. He said softly: Yun Xiang has never left me any rules. I also know she is gone.

Why do you have to preserve?!

Lu Xin wept: Its alright if you dont like me, but why do you want me to lose to a dead person? So not willing

Actually, there isnt only Lu Xin who is not willing. Lu Hai Kong dropped his eyes: In my world, there hasnt been anyone who has won her.

Including himself.

Spring comes late beyond the Great Wall. When the weed has turned green, the army is ready to go, intending to launch a full scale attack on the Heaven Dynasty.

Lu Hai Kong put on the generals armor. Before the time for the army to depart, first he alone went to a small hillside. There is a small courtyard there. No one is in the courtyard. Only solitary grave is there.

Lu Hai Kong took out the wine. He stood quietly for a while in front of the grave. Then he opened the jar of wine. He poured the wine down the grave.

Yun Xiang, Im going to war. This time, if I can come back, Ill definitely bring back that third princes head for you as a sacrifice.

Warm, soft spring air blew over. The loose hairs on Lu Hai Kongs shoulder have been raised by the wind. Black hair mixed with gray hair. His hair is a mottled gray.

Lu Hai Kongs mouth lifted. He seemed to have thought of some wonderful things.

Wait till I come back, Ill accompany you every day in this small courtyard. Watching the sunrise and sunset together, drinking wine together, talk about the sky and speak about the ground. See, Ive learned to drink.

No one answered him. Lu Hai Kong sadly dropped his eyes.

The citys horn sounded. Its Lu Lan calling the army together.

Lu Hai Kong touched the stone grave. Then he put down the jar and turned to leave.

This war lasted for two full years. In two years, the Heaven dynasty admitted defeat. The last battle, there was only guards sticking to the capital. What shocked people is that the one who led the troops to block the army of the north turned out to be the third prince, the one who everyone thought was a fool.

In the barrack, Lu Lan frowned while pondering. There is a man sitting on his left. His hair is white. That man is Lu Hai Kong who is actually only twenty two years old. Lu Lan looked up and asked: Hai Kong, is there a way to quickly capture the capital?

Lu Hai Kong smiled: This day, does uncle still have to worry? The army of the north has surrounded the capital. Its only a dead city now. After the army in the capital is exhausted, well naturally win without fighting.

No one is more eager for victory than Lu Hai Kong. No one is also more patient than him. The wish of so many years, today it can be settled. He would like to see more panic faces of the other party.

Suddenly, sound of drums came from outside the tent. Lu Hai Kong and Lu Lan exchanged a glance. They have suspicion in their hearts. A battle? With that capital? The third prince mustve gone crazy.

The third prince laughed: General Lu, long time no see? Do you still remember me? That time you took away my wife. I thought about it for some time. Now I can finally see my first wife. We should be like that time; waiting for general Lu together, alright?

See his first wife again

Lu Hai Kongs eyes turned darker.

Suddenly the third prince took something from the people behind him. The third prince grinned. He lifted the red cloth covering that thing. In it theres actually a set of bones! The joints of the bones have been nailed together. No movement can be done. It looked particularly stiff.

Lu Hai Kongs pupils tightened.

The third prince continued to say: Bringing Yun Xiang back from beyond the Great Wall is really not easy. The flesh on her body is gone; only leaving such a thing. All these years, she didnt live well at your north. Ahthats right, see her bones are hurt. When my subordinate came back with her, we found this needle in her bones. This silver needle is something I gave her when she went with you. A needle through the bone and took her life.

Clenched fists are dead tight. Lu Hai Kong glared at the third prince and faced the malevolent words. That bastard daredhe dared!

Seeing Lu Hai Kong like that, the third prince seemed happy. He lifted the hand of the bones and smiled: General Lu, do you still want to see the look of Yun Xiang greeting you? Is it like this or like this?

He pulled her hand back and forth. How can the nail that is penetrated in the bones put up with such action? A ka sound can be heard. The arm has been snapped down by the third prince.

Aiyasorry, I went overboard, the third prince smiled unapologetically.

Lu Hai Kong couldnt contain the anger in his heart anymore. He jumped up. He actually intended to rush to them alone.

General, dont!

The soldier behind him wanted to stop him, but Lu Hai Kong is already so angry that he cant listen to anything.

The third prince grinned: Launch the arrows.

The archers at his side has already prepared arrows with poison on them. Hearing the command, arrows poured down on Lu Hai Kong. Even if the martial art of Lu Hai Kong is really good, he also couldnt avoid receiving two arrows. But he didnt stop his footsteps. It looked like the injuries on him arent painful. The poison spread in his blood. Lu Hai Kong suppressed the smell of fish in his throat.

What does all of these matter.compared to the dismay when seeing Yun Xiangs bones, what do all of these matter?

He didnt protect Yun Xiang. Even her bones, he couldnt protect..

Ah, Lu Hai Kong shouted loudly. He used his internal energy and leaped on the wall of the capital. Everyone was shocked. The third prince also didnt expect that this persons martial art is so sturdy. He took two steps back.

Lu Hai Kong snatched a sword from a soldier behind him. His murderous aura is stirring. The anger and pain in his heart can only be settled with blood.

The north army under the wall has some commotion. Lu Lan armored a horse and shouted: Attack the capital.

The battle began.

At this time, half of the soldiers on the wall have already been cleaned by Lu Hai Kong. His whole body was covered in blood, making it difficult to tell if its his or someone elses. He is just peering at the third prince. Anyone who came to block his path have been gotten rid of like cutting melon without feelings.

Give Yun Xiang back to me.

Without emotion he attacked the ones protecting the third prince.

From the publics eyes, seeing this person covered in poisonous arrows and also marching forward with firm steps, hes like a monster who doesnt know pain and who isnt afraid of death. Even with only the murderous aura on his body, he is able to scare people.

Actually, its just that Lu Hai Kong couldnt see anything else. He only had one eye and that one eye is filled with Song Yun Xiang. Nothing can be filled in it anymore.

The third prince looked at Lu Hai Kong. Suddenly he smiled strangely: You want her? Alright, Ill give her to you.

After saying that, he flung Yun Xiangs bones like a rag and threw it under the wall. And there, there are millions of soldiers fighting. The bones being stamped among soldiers has been turned into dust.

Lu Hai Kong was startled and looked lost for a moment. The moment he looked up, his chill eyes cause people to tremble.

The last battle, Lu Hai Kong cut off the third princes head. He killed on the wall and made it a murderous field.

The last battle, Lu Hai Kong received twenty nine arrows. Poison went in the heart. After he has been rescued, he lied in bed for a whole month before he woke up. When he woke up, he saw Lu Lans face. He only said one sentence: What meaning does it have to save me

All the things in this world seemed to have no relation with him. He has taken revenge. His enemy is gone. Yun Xiang is gone. What he is facing, is a life with nightmares every night. Again and again, he saw Yun Xiang disappear from his sight.

What meaning does it have to save him

Lu Lan became the new emperor. The owner of the country. Lu Hai Kong went back alone to the north. He didnt bring back the third princes head, because there, Yun Xiang is already gone.

Five years later.

On a small courtyard outside the city, Lu Hai Kongs spirit is suddenly good today. He shook a cup of wine and walked to the front of the grave. He fell on the grave. His hair is like snow, making his face appear pale.

He knows that Yun Xiang is no longer here. Five years ago when he returned here, this grave has been dug and was a mess, leaving only a large pit. Lu Hai Kong filled it back as a remembrance.

Yun Xiang is not here, where should he go?

Lu Hai Kong dropped his head. His expression unreadable.

He went back to the house and quietly lay down. Suddenly Lu Hai Kong remembered a long time ago. That time Yun Xiang and he are still little. One of them is the lady of Xiangfu. One of them is the generals son. Yun Xiang did something wrong and was punished by kneeling in the hall. He went to accompany her and slept the whole night on her knees. The next day, when he woke up, he saw Yun Xiangs saliva dripping out of her mouth above his head.

While she touched her mouth, she said: Lu Hai Kongstupid..

She saw him in her dream. So good.

Lu Hai Kong closed his eyes and seemed to hear Yun Xiang scolding him softly above his head again: Lu Hai Kong, stupid.

At that time, the sunlight was warm and soft; their childhood sweetness
