"Captain, I'm sorry, I will let this person go right away." The guard rushed over in a panic, but when he saw Jones Xiang's slightly trembling back, he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart. Could it be that the captain and this old man were old acquaintances?
?
"You go back first, this person has something to do with me." Jones Xiang said without looking back. She tried to keep her voice calm. Now Jones Xiang is no longer the innocent girl in the past. She naturally knows how to let her go at this time.
The outside world knows how much shock the news of Gu Nansheng's reappearance will cause.
"Oh..." The guard only saw the back of Jones Xiang, and did not know that Jones Xiang was already crying. Although he felt strange, he bowed and left without thinking too much.
Only Gu Nansheng and Jones Xiang were left under the maple tree. They were only a few feet away from each other and stood silently for a long time.
Jones Xiang stared at Gu Nansheng's hunched back, feeling extremely sad in his heart. Who would have thought that the hero who once slashed the Wings of Death and created legendary myths would only leave such a decayed and vicissitudes of life to the world when he was old!
Sadness! Loneliness! Like a candle in the wind!
Thirty-five years have passed like a lifetime ago. The ruthless knife of time has destroyed Gu Nansheng's face beyond recognition, but Jones Xiang is still as beautiful as a fairy born in the world. It's just that many years of waiting have erased her former innocence and liveliness, but in her
There is a bit of vicissitudes and loneliness left in his pupils.
The autumn wind blew by, and pieces of red maple flew down quietly like butterflies with broken wings. Gu Nansheng raised his head and sighed, his cloudy eyes sparkling, "How are you, Qiqi?"
Jones Xiang's body trembled, and Gu Nansheng finally admitted it. She wiped away her tears, raised her hand to create a soundproof barrier, and replied in a low voice: "He and Meimei both went to find you, and they left ten years ago.
"
"So, how is Akasha..."
"After you disappeared, Sister Akasha stayed in Twilight City for three years. After making sure that no one was lurking around, she also left to look for you and has not returned yet..."
"Really..." Gu Nansheng took a deep breath, "Xiaoxiang, just pretend that I have never come back. I did say that if I can come back, I will marry you, but I also said that if I can't die a good death, you will
Find someone you really like and marry. There are always ups and downs in life. Thirty-five years ago, I guided the world and was proud of the world. Thirty-five years later, my body has declined and I am in a state of desolation. I only want one.
A burial place."
"I have experienced everything in my life. I have seen too much, gained too much, and lost too much. In those years when I just lost my strength, I did hate the injustice of fate. But over the years, I have gone deep into the ordinary world.
In this world, after tasting all the aspects of life, my heart has long since become calm. Although I have been down and out, I have gained more spiritually in these years than in the past hundreds of years..."
"Xiaoxiang, forget me. I don't want to see anyone anymore. I am satisfied knowing that they are safe..." After Gu Nansheng said this, he walked weakly out of the city. His wish was over, and he no longer had any worries.
.
Jones Xiang had already burst into tears. She looked at Gu Nansheng's silently leaving figure, gritted her teeth and chased after him. She grabbed Gu Nansheng's hand and choked out: "Thirty-five years! I have been waiting for you for thirty-five years and never left.
Half a step into Twilight City, don’t you understand, I’m not waiting for the all-powerful Nan Yingge, I’m just waiting for you, Gu Nansheng!”
All I'm waiting for is you!
Just six words shocked Gu Nansheng's heart. He looked up at the sky, with waves rolling in his chest and tears welling up in his eyes.
A true confession, a silent touch, such a heavy love, what reason did he have to reject it? But he couldn't accept it if he was asked to accept it!
"Thirty-five years later, you are finally back. This time I will not let you go without saying anything. From today on, I will go wherever you go. I am determined to follow you!"….
Listening to Jones Xiang's childish words, a wry smile appeared on Gu Nansheng's old face, "Xiao Xiang, I'm afraid I won't live long."
Jones Xiang's heart shrank when she heard this. Although she had vaguely expected it, she was still so sad and almost suffocated when she really got a positive reply from Gu Nansheng. She really couldn't imagine that she had just met the person she loved and lost her in the blink of an eye.
The pain, "Why? What happened to you these years?"
Gu Nansheng sighed and gave an overview of his process of practicing "Nine Transcriptions" to burn his essence, "Xiaoxiang, if I just lost my strength, I wouldn't be afraid to face you, but now, I am already
You are about to die, do you have to follow me to add to your sorrow?"
Jones didn't answer. She was silent for a while, and then suddenly talked about the long past, "Brother Gu, do you still remember the scene when we first met?"
"Well, remember, at that time I was only two levels of warriors. We encountered a natural disaster team with an average level of ten. The battle was extremely fierce. In the end, only me, you and Luna survived."
"Yes, there was Sister Luna at that time. You saved me in that battle, but I didn't have any affection for you at that time. On the contrary, because of your smooth talk and lack of formality, I had a crush on you.
You don’t have a good impression at all.”
"I still remember that in the Canyon of Despair, you sneered and soiled my rice, and then we had a big fight. I was so angry that I really wanted to bite you, haha..." Jones smiled happily when he said this
, those trivial past events are so sweet when I recall them now.
"Later, when we were trapped in a canyon and on a deserted island, I realized that although you are not serious at ordinary times, you can still make a difference at critical moments, whether it is the battle with the Scourge Legion or later when there is no supply.
You are the backbone of our team during long journeys under difficult conditions. You are always optimistic and confident, with a bit of gray humor in your words. Although I was very angry with you, in such an atmosphere, I forgot about despair.
, and actually persisted without supplies for more than 20 consecutive days."
"Actually, I was really moved by the sight of your injured back holding your sword in front of me, and the care you took for me when we passed through that dark crack, the water bag you left for me on the isolated island, and all the subsequent...
…Anyway, I was still very naive and naive at the time and fell in love with you in a daze.”
"I have been thinking about you since I escaped from the isolated island. At that time, I never thought that you would become a big shot in the future. I just liked you as an ordinary person. I always had an idea when I was in Biluo City. Tell me to you
Don’t laugh, I belong to a side branch of the Jones family. No girl in the family can get married. I thought at the time that if the family didn’t agree with me marrying you, I would elope with you and go to a place where no one knows us.
I've already thought of a name for this restaurant, so I'll call it a mom-and-pop shop. Actually, I've never really liked the life of a gangster, and I just want to live the life of an ordinary person. I just don't know if you are willing."
"But later on, you kept pretending to be stupid and deliberately avoiding feelings when facing me. I was very sad at that time. Of course, I pretended to be carefree and indifferent on the surface. Of course, I was stupid at the time.
, your acting skills are terrible, you must have seen through it."
"Later, you became stronger and stronger, and I found that the gap between me and you was getting farther and farther. We were like people from two different worlds. You were a superior person who could control the world. Countless women were willing to work for you.
If you give me your ***, you can visit them at will, and I am just a very inconspicuous one among them."
"I was really unworthy of you at that time. There were so many people who were prettier than me, more noble than me, more powerful than me, and smarter than me. I thought you wouldn't remember me. In Yannan Mountain
I secretly cried many times when I was sleeping.”….
"But then, you came back, and I was so happy that night, really happy. Although we still didn't get married, for me, as long as you have me in your heart, it's enough."
"Then it was the time when you disappeared. It wasn't until then that I learned from Sister Akasha that you would come to face Deathwing from the Lich King's treasure chest to protect me. At that time, I really
I hate it so much. I hate that I am so incompetent. I really have no face to face Sister Akasha. She went out to find you, and all I can do is wait for you here. Thank God, I finally waited for you...
"
"I don't want to miss you anymore. No matter what happens to you, no matter what you become, no matter you are a king or a beggar, I still like you..."
Listening to Jones's ramble, Gu Nansheng's heart was trembling. He finally turned around and looked lovingly at the girl who had been waiting for him without any regrets, crying silently.
Jones Xiang is a woman who longs for the ordinary. She loves Gu Nansheng regardless of reward. With such a girl waiting for her infatuatedly, what reason does Gu Nansheng have to leave alone? "Xiaoxiang... are you really willing to live an ordinary life with me from now on?"
Life?"
"Well, I want to marry you." The tears on Jones Xiang's face had dried, and she spoke very calmly, but extremely firmly.
"Then... let's get married..."
Gu Nansheng did not expect that after repeatedly postponing this relationship, he would eventually marry Jones Xiang under such circumstances. Perhaps this marriage was just a compensation for this unfinished relationship, so that when he died, Xiaoxiang would also
No more regrets.
Thinking of this, Gu Nansheng can face his marriage to Jones Xiang calmly.
As for the new house, it naturally cannot be located in the Wind Chime Bird Mercenary Group. Although the possibility is very small, Gu Nansheng is still afraid that he will be recognized. After all, he has no resistance now.
Therefore, Jones Xiang left a letter that night, lying that she was going to the mainland for training, and briefly arranged the work of the regiment. After that, she accompanied Gu Nansheng and quietly left Twilight City. The carriage they took quickly
