Laughing at Chang'an

"Chu Hua is dead."

"Oh, how did you die?"

"Underestimated the enemy, and was cut in half with a single knife... The one who killed him was a young man, less than twenty."

Geng Yan looked forward when he said this, he was driving, Li Shen closed his eyes, Chu Hua was the captain of the stone man team, and also a young man brought out by him.The three teams that followed him back then were all young people. They had no choice but to look down on the Geng Army if they were a bit capable. Only these young people had cheap lives and hot blood.

At that time, he was also a young man.

People always die, and being a mercenary dies even faster.Li Shen didn't say anything, and what he said was meaningless.Geng Yan drove into the guild hall, and the two went down to the third basement floor one after the other. Zhang Pu begged to see Geng Yan, nodded, and led them to an unmanned research room.

"Take off your shirt and lie down." Geng Yan pointed to the experimental platform in the room and Li Shen gave him a surprised look. Of course Geng Yan was not joking, and Zhang Puqiu had already gone to the side to turn on the equipment.

This was much worse than the feeling of being checked by a doctor. Li Shen took off his coat, unbuttoned his shirt one by one, and lay down on the table, jokingly said: "Be merciful, Marshal, I am actually very afraid of pain. Do not lie to you."

Geng Yan grinned, spread his right arm flat, and slashed at it without saying a word.Li Shen blinked and blinked, but didn't make a sound—he wanted to scream, but the problem was that his arm was disabled, and he didn't feel how to pull it, so he couldn't scream.

"Yuanmai itself cannot be distinguished by the naked eye. If he really has energy similar to that crystal in his body, it should be revealed when he is stimulated." Zhang Puqiu walked over and looked at the wound on Li Shen's arm with a frown. Peel off the skin of this section."

Master Zhang, you are so inhuman... Li Shen groaned silently in his heart, seeing Geng Yan peeling off a layer of his skin very neatly with a sharp and small scalpel.

Then suddenly he felt it.

"Come out." Zhang Puqiu took the scalpel, picked a small piece of Li Shen's exposed flesh, and then raised the blade to the front of his eyes, then walked to the operating table beside him, and put the small piece of flesh on the isolation plate , gently peeled it off with a small hook and tweezers, and took out a golden particle smaller than sand dust.

"If you clean it up like this..."

"Impossible." Geng Yan was interrupted by Zhang Puqiu before he finished speaking. He shook his head, walked back to the laboratory table, and cut across Li Shen's arm from the edge to the inner arm bone. Use the blade to keep the wound open, and let Geng Yan see what's going on inside.

Visible to the naked eye, the entire cut surface is gradually covered with gold, without a single gap.

"Li Shen's source veins have already penetrated his whole body. These foreign substances are everywhere in his body, and it is meaningless to remove them locally. As long as there is a little bit left, these things will absorb his source energy and restore his strength. "

Geng Yan's face was ugly.

Li Shen understood it, and smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Master Zhang is right, I used rainbow chalcedony to wash my veins, and it did stop for a while after that, but with my source energy It recovers, and it also recovers, it's quite wrong..."

"Shut up." Geng Yan glared at him, took a bottle of repair fluid and applied it on his wound, but it had no effect.The source vein of Li Shen's right arm has been filled with the golden thing, and he can no longer use the source energy to repair himself, and the function of the repairing liquid is to stimulate the source energy, so naturally it has no effect on him.

Geng Yan looked at his bloody wound, and silently clenched his fingers holding the repair fluid. Li Shen turned over and sat up on the laboratory table, picked up the shirt thrown on the chair beside him and wanted to put it on. He just wore a sleeve. , and was held down by Geng Yan.

"I don't have trauma medicine here." Zhang Puqiu pushed his glasses and said.

"I'll go upstairs to pick it up." Geng Yan said, looking at Li Shen, "You wait here."

When Geng Yan came back with the gauze and potion for bandaging the wound, Zhang Puqiu had already gone to another laboratory to continue his research. Li Shen was wearing half a shirt, leaning on the chair with his eyes closed and rested.

Geng Yan half-kneeled by the chair, cleaned Li Shen's wound with alcohol, applied medicine to stop bleeding, and then gently wrapped the gauze on it.He did it very carefully, even though Li Shen's arm was unconscious, he was still cautious, as if he was afraid that it would make Li Shen feel pain.

This is completely different from when he simply cut the knife just now. Sometimes Li Shen can't understand it. He lowered his head and watched Geng Yan's focused eyebrows. After a long while, he suddenly laughed lowly.

"Master."

"Ok?"

"I don't hurt."

"Ah."

Li Shen clasped the back of Geng Yan's head with his left hand, pulled him over and put him into his arms, lowered his head, rested his chin on the top of Geng Yan's hair, and said with a low smile: "Seeing you are so careful, it hurts."

Geng Yan didn't respond for a while, probably because he was shocked by Li Shen's actions.Li Shen didn't want to say anything more, he stroked gently between Geng Yancan's golden hair with his fingers, until Geng Yan's head receded, he let go of his hand naturally.

"Is there anything else to do next?" Li Shen put his right glove into his shirt and buttoned it up, "If there's nothing else, I'm going to see Chu Hua."

Geng Yan looked as usual, nodded, and said you go.

Li Shen picked up his coat, put it on his shoulders, smiled at Geng Yan, and walked out of the room.As soon as the door was closed, the expressions on the faces of the two people inside and outside the room almost disappeared at the same time.

Li Shen scolded his mother in his heart.

The same is true for Geng Yan.

………………

After leaving the research room, Li Shen took the elevator to the seventeenth floor.

This floor is the exclusive office floor of the three elite combat teams of the Geng Army. Li Shen's office is upstairs. He used to come down to play cards and have a meal with his subordinates if he had nothing to do. But since he went there more than two years ago After leaving Hongdao, he never came to this floor again.

So when Tie Lian, who was smoking in the elevator, saw Li Shen, he was so surprised that he almost dropped his cigarette, and hurriedly called the boss respectfully.

"I'll take a look at Chu Hua." Li Shen said, leaning on crutches, he walked to the Hall of Heroes at the right corner of the floor.Chu Hua's body had just been transported back, and the mourning hall was being set up. Several old faces from the Stone Man Squad stood guard beside the coffin. As soon as Li Shen walked in, everyone stopped and said hello to him.

Tie Lian moved a chair beside the coffin, and Li Shen sat down with the back of the chair, quietly looking at Chu Hua lying in the coffin.Chu Hua was one year older than him, and had just turned [-] this year. His face didn't look old, but the scar on the right side of his face that crossed his eyes was a bit oozing.Li Shen stretched out his hand and touched the scar. At the beginning, Chu Hua got the knife because he underestimated the enemy. Li Shen told him to keep the scar and remind himself not to make such a mistake again every day when he looked in the mirror. I think he ended up in the same ditch.

The truth is that the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.

"How did Chu Hua die?" Li Shen asked.

Tie Lian, who was standing beside him, told the story one by one. A few days ago, the stone man team was temporarily assigned an urgent mission just after returning from the Northland.In this way, the Geng Army wantonly eradicated the power of Huiguang in the South China Sea, but the resistance they encountered was not small. This time, the stone man team was ordered to suppress a rebellious force of Huiguang. It is not a difficult task for the stone man team. Chu Hua himself is eight steps of the immortal road, and the team members are all masters of the six steps or above of the immortal road. The equipment is Zhang Puqiu's customized armor. Have done it, are you still afraid of such a small battle?

There were no surprises during the mission, the only surprise was Chu Hua's death.He died at the hands of a young man in his twenties. After he killed the Immortal Road Nine Steps, the other party took advantage of his exhaustion and made a violent attack. The young man died on the spot with his meridian split. Chu Hua It was split in half by the middle, and the gods could not save it.

"If he hadn't canceled the armor booster carelessly at that time, even if the young man exploded his meridians, he still wouldn't be able to break through his armor." Tie Lian said, with reproaches and regrets in his voice. He is the captain of Qingfeng, and Chu Hua It was the Geng Army who joined in the same period, and was selected by Li Shen at the same time, and put into the earliest elite team.The two had followed Li Shen in the South and North Wars for many years, and it was a fateful friendship. Just now when he saw Chu Hua's body, he couldn't bear it, so he ran out to smoke and bumped into Li Shen.

People are dead, and it's meaningless to talk about it.Li Shen took a deep breath, withdrew his hand, and asked, "Has his family been notified?"

Chu Hua didn't have a wife, only an old mother in his hometown, and hearing the pain of losing a child suddenly, he might not be able to bear it.Tie Lian nodded and replied, "Xiao Yu and Hua Ling went in person."

These two are both good-natured and sweet-faced. Li Shen knew that Geng Jun would not treat Chu Hua badly in terms of pensions, but money alone may not be useful. After he returned, he would naturally have to explain to his adjutant and settle the matter properly. .While frowning and thinking, he heard someone coming in cursing outside.

"I beep him, Geng Lian is a son of a bitch, this time it's not over! Last time Hua Ling was almost killed by him, this time it's Captain Chu's turn, I beep..."

The voice stopped abruptly. The person standing at the door looked at Li Shen who was sitting inside. He was stunned for a while, then lowered his voice embarrassingly, and lowered his head: "Boss."

Li Shen's only remaining eyeballs looked at him with pitch-black eyes, and his voice was very calm: "You just said, what did Geng Liancheng do?"

The faces of the people in the hall changed.

"Boss, don't listen to his nonsense." Tie Lian said, "It's all guesswork, there is no evidence, he is just in a bad mood and wants to find someone to scold... Shitou, is it like this, speak up! "

The person who stood at the door and spoke just now is called Shishi, and as his name suggests, he is a big smelly and hard rock.He looked at Tie Lian with some resentment, and was stared at fiercely by the other party, so he reluctantly lowered his head and said to Li Shen: "I guessed it, boss."

Li Shen beckoned at him, Shitou walked up to him and knelt down, raised his head, his eyes were filled with grievances, and he looked at Li Shen silently.

Li Shen was a little amused, and asked him, "Have you been bullied?"

He nodded.

Li Shen said again: "You don't want to tell me?"

Shi Shi hesitated to speak and turned his head to look at Tie Lian. The latter had a livid face. If eyes could kill, Shi Shi had already been slaughtered by him countless times.

"You weren't so mean before. If you have something to say, what are you hiding from me?" Li Shen smiled at him with a mouthful of white teeth. Shi Shi was still hesitating, so the smile on Li Shen's face disappeared instantly in the next second.

Holding Shi Shi by the collar, he pulled the man in front of him, and asked with a blank expression——

"If you don't listen to good words, you're looking for a beating, right?"
