Chapter 256 Chapter 256: Half-brother? ? ? [Requesting monthly tickets]
"Who was the first to get in? Who?"
Gong Xi Qiu had to admit that he was a bit gloating about his misfortune.
The staff member didn’t seem to notice Gong Xiqiu’s expression, and just replied indifferently: “I don’t know yet. I just know that the person who took the national seal is not simple. Either he has the special ability to hide the national seal. There are special items. I could still feel the aura vaguely in the first two days, but then it became fainter and fainter, and there was no trace of it.”
The elites on this journey were originally heading for the national seal.
Since the national seal can no longer be obtained, it is useless to continue to stay. It is better to return troops to reinforce our own military and prevent Zheng Qiao from sending troops to suppress the border. Therefore, the possibility of withdrawing troops is extremely high, and it would be foolish to stay and entangle the Alliance forces.
Gongxi Qiuchu listened with great interest.
When he heard the last sentence, his expression twisted, and he almost gritted his teeth and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The staff member asked him what he meant with his eyes.
Asked again: "Didn't I tell you early enough?"
"You said you could still feel it vaguely in the past two days, but there has been no trace in the past two days -" Gongxi's teeth were grinding with hatred, and his back molars were itching, "If you had said it two or three days earlier, the soldiers fighting today would not have known it at all. Lost your life in vain! Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Not only did the staff member not become angry, but a very strange sneer appeared on his face for a moment, and he said: "You will feel sorry for people."
Gong Xiqiu: "Those are more than two thousand living lives. ”
It’s not that he feels distressed.
Human life is the most worthless thing in this world.
But no matter how worthless a human life is, it can be determined whether it is valuable or worthless. Even if they died, they could have died more valuable instead of being hastily buried here!
Even if these are actually the soldiers of King Pig...
Therefore, even if the staff messenger in front of him is the only clan member left in the world, Gong Xiqiu will not have the slightest affection for him. .
The staff members laughed at his naivety.
“Gong Xiqiu, do you know something?”
As soon as he started talking, he paused suspiciously and deliberately whetted Gong Xiqiu's appetite, but Gong Xiqiu could only do what he wanted.
asked: "What do you know?"
"Do you know what order King Shi gave me before he left? You and the soldiers and horses led by your foster father can do it if necessary. Sacrifice all, as long as you can get the national seal, no matter what the sacrifice!" The staff messenger looked at Gong Xiqiu mockingly, "If necessary, you can take your life."
Gong Xiqiu Hui. What kind of order do you think it is?
He said: "Isn't this normal?"
He has seen faces like this many times, let alone a strange creature like the Pig King? In fact, Gong Xiqiu was slightly surprised by the "mildness" of this order. Considering King Sheng's character, his instructions should not be so "normal"...
The staff messenger had an expression of "You are still too young."
He sneered and spat out words that were more sinister and sticky than the venom of poisonous snakes: "King She didn't mean what you understood. His original intention was that if the casualties in Xiaocheng were not enough to force Xin to leave the country, That national seal can give up those soldiers."
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
The staff messenger Bo Liang said: "So, you see clearly. Are you aware that more than two thousand lives in your eyes are nothing in the eyes of others? It doesn’t matter whether they died on the battlefield where they were loyal to you, or in other invisible places, whether they died in battle today or in the future. Difference. Gong Xiqiu, you really should have died on the day of the annihilation of your clan, instead of leaving your clan and wandering into this muddy world, fearing that you would die without a burial place!”
Gong Xiqiu looked at the staff messenger in shock and anger.
In his memory, every member of the Gongxi clan followed the guidance of the gods and worked hard to live. They are open-minded and optimistic, bold in nature, men, women and children, good at singing and dancing. Any unhappiness can be vented through loud singing and wild and changeable dance.
Live in seclusion and have nothing to do with the world.
Gong Xiqiu has never seen any clan member as sinister and creepy as the one in front of him, which is unpleasant and contrary to the style of the Gong Xi clan. What kind of thoughts does the other party have that would make him say this to him, the only survivor of the genocide?
His eyes were so understanding. The messenger said: "The Gongxi clan's emblem is the snake that everyone dislikes the most. Being cheerful, lively and loving life is against the ancestral precepts, right? I am used to being gloomy. , what can you do if you just can’t stand me?”
Gong Xiqiu: "You——"
The staff messenger said: "That's all." Gong Xiqiu wanted to curse a few more words, but the figure returned to the shadows and completely merged into the darkness. , and the next moment there was no sound. I left Gong Xichou alone and cursed in his heart, wishing he could dig up his ancestral graves...
Oh no, you can't dig up his ancestral graves.
Their ancestral graves are the same.
Gong Xiqiu frowned depressedly.
He was even more depressed than being beheaded by Shen Tang over and over again during the day. After sitting there with his arms crossed for a while, he suddenly stood up and rummaged through the suitcase that he carried with him wherever he went. Even though Gong Xiqiu's life was in a mess, with paperwork and official affairs thrown around, making it so messy that people had nowhere to go, the things inside the box were neatly packed and taken out and wiped regularly.
He found a thick volume of genealogy from the bottom of the box.
Every name on this genealogy has been crossed out with trembling calligraphy and ink. If you look carefully, there are still many tears and water stains on it. Only Gong Xiqiu's name is still there. Skip the names, scroll up and down, and compare them one by one.
"This is not..."
I had attended this man's funeral myself.
"This is not..."
Neither is the uncle next door.
“This...this...this...isn’t...”
Gong Xiqiu remembered that his staff messenger had said that he crossed out the names in the genealogy overnight, and his handwriting should match At that time, the patriarch in charge of the genealogy was different, so all he had to do was find the one with special handwriting.
Following this clue, I actually found two.
Gongxi Qiu seems to be the most likely target.
But——
His eyes widened in disbelief.
The hands holding the family tree were trembling.
"How, how is it possible - it could be him?"
Unlike the outside world, the children of the Gongxi clan only take their mother's surname. They are generally raised by their mother, uncles and other natal elders. In order to avoid birth problems caused by too close blood, women can choose to marry within the clan when they reach adulthood, or they can choose to leave the clan to look for men outside the clan, and then return to the clan with their children after a period of time.
Gong Xiqiu’s father is one of them.
No one knows who the dead father is except his dead mother.
Gong Xiqiu doesn’t know either.
There are many examples of half-brothers and sisters in the clan.
Gong Xiqiu is no exception.
He has a half-brother who is much older than him. He heard that his brother was selected by the clan leader at a young age and trained as the next clan leader, but Gong Xiqiu had never seen him. The mother said that her brother died in infancy, but her uncle leaked the news and said that her brother had made a big mistake and was executed by the clan elders. The mother was heartbroken. In order to get over the pain, she was encouraged by her uncle to have a second child, which is now Gongxi Qiu. ...
If this gloomy guy is the elder brother...
No wonder the clan elder always looks at Gong Xiqiu with complicated eyes.
Gong Xiqiu dug out a mirror from the pile.
Photo on the left, photo on the right.
He murmured in a daze: "If you don't look carefully, you won't notice it. There are indeed some similarities..."
Staff messenger: Who do you think I am? ? ?
Gong Xiqiu:)
