Book 4. Chapter 21. A full moon night on the River Wu
Qin De’s 2 hands, which are holding the letter, slightly tremble. In an instant, his facial expression changes several times.
“Father, how is Yu’er? What does this letter actually say?” Qin Zheng asks Qin De hurriedly, his face full of urgency. Qin Zheng has been having a bad feeling as well, especially after seeing Qin De’s expression.
Qin De’s facial muscles are slightly twitching. His eyes redden in a moment. Qin De takes a deep breath, trying to suppress the feelings surging inside him. His whole chest takes in fresh air like a pair of bellows. He must refrains himself.
“Yu’er.”
Qin De, having become misty-eyed, passes the letter in his hands to Qin Zheng on one side.
“Yu’er, how am I going to have to treat you?” Qin De turns his face upwards, looking into the sky. His expression is totally unhappy. “I wronged you but you’ve helped me again and again. Last time, to save me you didn’t hesitate to die together with the enemy. Now, you again …”
He still remembers that sentence in the letter — ‘I can only guarantee that, in this battle, Xiang Yang will definitely die no matter what happens.’
Qin De knows his 3rd son very well — Once he promises to do something, he will definitely accomplish it, only that … in order to achieve his goal, he will disregard even his own life.
This is his son, Qin Yu!
