After Gu Mang had sobered, he stopped shouting. Yet for some reason, Mo Xi always got the feeling that although Gu Mang was smiling, there was something else behind that smile - something he couldn't clearly see.

Ah, to be honest, it was only because of Gu Mang that I enlisted. I once even drank with him around a fire. He didn't put on any airs, either. Back then...back then, as I watched him laugh, I thought - if one day I could die for him in battle, it would be a good way to go.

One could have said that he'd lived twenty-seven years without evr making a single major mistake. Except for Gu Mang. For Mo Xi, Gu Mang was like ink on a paper or mud in the snow, the suggestive smear of blood left upon the pristine white of a gentleman's bedsheets. He was the stain on Mo Xi's life.

The only circumstance under which Mo Xi could imagine amiably sharing a jug of wine with Gu Mang was in a cemetery, with Gu Mang buried in the earth, and himself standing upon it. Then he might talk to the man like he once had, and place a bouquet of red peonies shaped from spiritual energy on his grave.

Mo Xi. It's fine, don't be sad. No matter what, we'll always be together. No matter how hard things get, I'll pull this through. Come on, let's go home.β

He grew jealous of Gu Mang, doubted him, and stripped him off his authority. He even crossed a line Gu Mang couldn't possibly endure. Mo Xi watched Gu Mang fall into the abyss with his own eyes.

He thought of Gu Mang in their academy days, standing with his back to Mo Xi and sighing with exasperation. `Shidi, you work too hard. Can you still move your legs? Come here, get on my back. I'll take you home.

It was Gu Mang who had brought his brothers crawling back, who had returned the bodies of the dead. He'd seen hope, he'd seen the future, and so he had roared, enduring it all to say: βCome, everything's okay, You've named me General Gu, so I'll bring you home no matter what.

Gu Mang was a man of his word. He traded fur coats for wine and spirit jades for meat, and once he even took off all his military robes and armour and tossed them on the bar in exchange for nuerhong rice wine, at which point the army thugs started laughing and heckling him `General Gu, we want beef too. Do you have anything else you could take off?

Gu Mang didn't understand that some people's hearts shouldn't be touched. They never played around; rather, they were the solitary guardians of the pure affection they held cupped in their hands. They had only a little bit of romance in their hearts, just enough to lavish on a singular person in all their life.

That figure became smaller and smaller, more and more stooped. As if crazed, Mo Xi suddenly rushed towards him, with no care for anything else, shouting in griefβ
"Gu Mang!!"
Gu Mang.
I believe you..... I believe what you said, flowers will bloom, rain will stop, winter will end..... Will you turn back, will you stop going down that dark road?

Softly, Gu Mang spoke: 'We share in the robes of war, no victory, no return.....'
He mounted an ordinary warhorse the color of dates, the plumes on his helmet waving in the wind. The city gates opened, and the army moved north. In that moment, once more, he returned to the side of his old friends, his comrades, and his Northern Frontier Army, as an insignificant footsoldier.

I'm worthy of being called your shige, your brother. Get blood on me - I don't mind. Give me your hand. No matter how dirty you are, I will embrace you. No matter how much it hurts, I will stay with you. No matter how far it is, I will bring you home.
