bright sheath

The autumn wind is rustling, and everything is withered. The streets and alleys of Quang Ninh are covered with golden leaves, which creak and creak when they step on them. There are even children who gather the leaves into a pile and burn them at night. When a gust of wind blows, their noses are full of autumn. smell.

Like being nostalgic for the world, the leaves on the sycamore tree in the Wangfu are endlessly falling, but there are always a few leaves that stick to it and refuse to leave, and the yellow one is even more desolate.It was even more rare that it rained in the past few days, and the rain hit the plantain with a sense of sadness, but Ling Yanchi came back in the coolness of this evening.

Chen Yunyu was teaching Ning Zhi how to practice martial arts in the front yard. The elder and the younger each held a wooden sword in their hands, and they did exactly the movements of flying cranes spreading their wings.

"It looks like you haven't practiced for a long time, and your movements are rusty. You obviously haven't lifted your right hand properly."

As soon as he heard his voice, Chen Yunyu couldn't stand still, and hurried to the door, but Ling Yanchi was one step ahead of him, holding his waist, stabilizing his figure, and raising his right hand until After standard movements, he touched Wang Ningzhi's head and said, "Did you see it? That's right."

"Brother Ling! You're back!" Seeing that he stopped practicing Wang Ning's sword, he threw down the little wooden sword and rushed towards him. Ling Yanchi directly lifted him up and circled in the sky twice, teasing the little guy giggling.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance when I came back, I was thinking about going to the barracks tomorrow." Chen Yunyu looked at him, reluctant to blink.

Ling Yanchi put the little guy on the ground and said with a smile: "If I tell you in advance, there will be no surprises. Don't you understand?"

"...Then have you eaten yet? I'll ask my servant to prepare some for you..." After finishing speaking, he was about to go to the backyard.

"Hey..." Ling Yanchi grabbed his arm and said with a smile, "Why, are you still afraid of me? What do you mean by wanting to run away as soon as I come?"

"I didn't..." Chen Yunyu lowered her eyes.

"Okay, if you say no, you don't have it. I'm not hungry. Ning Zhi, brother is tired today. How about teaching you a set of powerful kung fu tomorrow after you have rested?"

"Okay! Big brother counts on what he says!"

"Naturally, when did my brother lie to you?" He winked at Ningzhi while speaking.

After the servant took Ning Zhi away, Ling Yanchi put his head on Ning Zhi's body in a shapeless manner, and said weakly, "You have to comfort me, really, those people I don't know why, no matter what kind of training, they have to drag me, making my body sour that it's almost rotten..."

He was indeed dark and thin, and his eyes became more lively. Chen Yunyu didn't dare to look at him, but felt very nervous.

"You're not the only one like this, everyone is treated equally, so why are you exaggerating here?" He turned around slightly, and after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel that his words were sloppy.

Ling Yanchi sighed immediately, and complained: "You have changed, you don't care about me anymore."

His tone was lost, Chen Yunyu panicked when he heard it, turned around and said hurriedly: "I didn't..."

Ling Yanchi smiled immediately, put his arms around his waist and said with a smile: "I'm lying to you, why don't you behave well, huh?"

"Who would say all these unpleasant things as soon as they come back." He turned his eyes slightly and didn't look at him.

Ling Yanchi seemed to find him interesting, and wanted to run after his eyes, his whole body was crooked, and he said with a flat mouth: "You don't even look at me when I come back, so I'm naturally not happy, my son, take a look its me."

"... When did I not see you?"

"You're dishonest. You're clearly saying that you miss me very much, but you don't dare to look at me..." He put his hand on Shizi's heart, and his tone was soft and soft, but every word seemed to hit me. on his mind.

Chen Yunyu finally looked at him, and touched his eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth... Ling Yanchi put his hand on his hand gently, closed his eyes and said: "Sometimes I really want to be a woman, In this way, you can pass on the family line for you, and you can watch you every day at home, so there is no need to travel around like this every day, when I look at you, I feel that you have lost weight after waiting for me."

Chen Yunyu wanted to cry at what he said, and smiled helplessly: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about, why don't you go to the military camp and warm my bed every day, winter is coming soon."

Ling Yanchi opened his eyes, and flatly refused: "This is not possible, I want to protect you, these soldiers are your backing, if they fail, I will worry about it."

"Well, I see. If you don't want to eat, you should go to bed earlier. Haven't you asked how many days General Yi gave you?"

Ling Yanchi hooked his neck, and lazily said: "Three days, today is one day, oh, to be honest, sometimes I really want to beat him up, how can he be so rigid?"

"...Don't do this, General Yi was chosen by my father."

"That's it... forget it, bear with it, don't fight."

The two returned to Chen Yunyu's room shoulder to shoulder. After a long absence, they were newlyweds. Naturally, they had a good meal. After taking a bath again, the sky would be full moon. Ling Yanchi hugged Chen Yunyu, and nodded with his fingers. Looking at the bright moon outside the window with his smooth back, he said lightly: "You really remember everything I said..."

"...Well, remember, you don't have many wishes, so I can't fulfill them one by one." Chen Yunyu was weak, eyes closed, and she responded casually.

"very nice……"

"What's so good?"

"You...the palace...the barracks...everything."

"It will always be like this. Didn't I promise you that it will make you happy all the time."

"Well... go to sleep."

That night, he had a dream. He dreamed of Li Si. He hadn't had a dream for a long time.

He dreamed that Li Si was smiling at him with a happy face. There was neither blood nor tears on his body, and he was still dressed in gray. He stood at the gate of the former Qingping Hall and said to him: "General, seeing that you are doing well, I also feel sorry for you." You can go away at ease... Don't think about revenge, you won't go far with hatred, general, you have to be good, don't think about me, live a good life..."

In the dark gray night, he woke up quietly, only to find that Chen Yunyu's eyes were open. He thought that his unconscious behavior in the dream had startled him, and was trying to find an excuse, but he heard Chen Yunyu lower his eyes and say, "Why did you wake up suddenly? I thought you were asleep..."

Ling Yanchi was stunned, so this person stared at him all night?

He hugged the shy man, patted him on the back and said, "Why don't you sleep in the middle of the night and look at me like this, I can't fly again."

In the dark night, his voice was empty, and Shizi said: "Just now, I suddenly felt that you were going to go far away, and I couldn't find you anymore, so I really wanted to wake you up, but The next moment you open your eyes, I feel that you are back and by my side again, isn't it strange?"

"...What are you thinking about all day long? I'm not here. If I'm not here, I'm in the barracks. If you want to find me, you can always find me. There's nothing to worry about."

"I don't believe you've never had this feeling of worrying about gains and losses..."

"So, son, you stay up most of the night because you want to discuss this profound truth with me?"

"Don't call me Shizi..." He turned his back after saying that.

"Okay, I was wrong, I will call you Yunyu from now on, Yunyu, Yunyu..." He said while rubbing his shoulder.

Sure enough, Chen Yunyu turned around, leaned closer to hug him, put her head on his chest lightly and said: "I finally understand why so many sentimental feelings happen at night, the night is the best way to hide people's emotions, but people can't see clearly. All anxiety and fear are magnified..."

Ling Yanchi asked him softly: "So are you afraid?"

"Well, I'm afraid...I've always been afraid, the enmity between Li Si and Wang Wei, in fact, you haven't forgotten it for a moment, right? No one understands you better than me, understands your love and righteousness...then what's in your heart What is the plan, can you tell me about it?"

This time, Ling Yanchi was silent for a long time... It turned out that this person knew that he knew he couldn't let go, but he still decided to let him enter the barracks. Is it possible that he knew his plan, but still handed over the sword to him? In his hands?

"Why did you let me into the barracks?" he determined to ask.

"I know you won't hurt me, and I believe you can make the impossible possible..."

"Nonsense... If you believe me, then what are you afraid of now?"

"Do you know that the master who taught me how to practice swords once asked me a question when I was young. He said: 'My lord, why do you hold a sword?' Do you know how I answered?"

"How did you answer?"

"I said it was because I want to become stronger. Only when I become stronger can I not be bullied... Master just laughed at that time. I always thought that his smile meant that I got the answer right, but I didn't know it was me until I met you." Wrong. A gentleman holds a sword for protection. Being strong has never been the goal, but the way. Only when you are strong can you protect the person you want to protect...

"A long time ago, when my mother died, I thought it was because my father was not strong enough. Later, when General Zhou died, I felt that the court was too shameless... But until I knew that you went to Qifeng Mountain alone, and saw that you were covered in blood. , I realized that I am not strong enough... If I am strong, why would I let you take risks alone?"

"...Fool, don't put all the blame on yourself. There are so many powerless people in this world. If you think like you, you will die of exhaustion."

"Don't tell me these nonsense, just say whether you want to avenge them, if you want to, even if it turns this big Chen upside down, I will accompany you..."

His distraction has already been regarded as a lesson from the sun and the moon, but how could Ling Yanchi be willing to do so.He stroked Shizi's back up and down, and said softly: "Do you know who I dreamed about just now? I dreamed about Li Si. He said let me live a good life and let me not take revenge. He said that hatred can't go long. ...but you know what I think?

"In the first few days when I returned to the palace, I did think about taking revenge. I dreamed about it day and night when I was awake, and when I closed my eyes, it was Li Si's face when he died... But I can't... Do you still remember Master Liu? And those common people, if I rise rashly, where should they hide?

"Sometimes I really feel like I'm going to be torn in half. I'm clearly dreaming of being with you, and suddenly I see Li Si staring at you curiously... When I see this, I feel pain It's outrageous...I want to take revenge, but I can't take revenge...I don't want anyone to suffer like me, but I can't get relief...I'm sorry for those soldiers who died alive, but I have to let go of the hatred..." Important Yes, he couldn't bring Chen Yunyu into this vortex of pain, he couldn't bear to...

"okay, I get it."
