Changbei Longevity Song

With concerns in their hearts, the three of them were speechless on the way back.Xiaobei felt relieved.Finally, there is a way to save Changsheng, and I don't have to worry about it.If Changsheng recovers, that Tsing Yi must not be worn again, right?Well, after returning home, I should go to the capital... Xiaobei thought, and seemed to see himself welcoming Changsheng back, but it was destined to be impossible.

Longevity, if there is an afterlife, continue the frontier.I'm afraid I can't accompany you.

A tear dripped from the corner of his eye, was blown away by the wind, and scattered in the air.

"21, you and Tianxie go back, I'll go to the capital." Finally returned to the army, Xiaobei walked to the stable to lead the horse, and said to 21.

21 Before he could answer anything, Xiaobei pulled out the horse with a happy face, mounted it and galloped away. He didn't look like a person who knew he was about to give his life.If he hadn't known the situation, 21 would have thought that Changsheng would return safely, and Xiaobei just had to wait.

There are always people coming and going in the capital.Unlike the last time I came here, what the people on the street are talking about now is that their army defeated the foreigners in one fell swoop and won a sigh of relief for the country.Xiaobei felt a little emotional, at least before he left, he managed to convince the people that even though the ruler of this country was corrupt and incompetent, and only cared about drinking and having fun, there was still an army desperately guarding him.This country is not completely finished.

Xiaobei touched the silver taels all over his body, there was still a lot, anyway, he would not use it anymore, besides buying a Tsing Yi for Changsheng, he might have some money.When he turned his head, he suddenly saw a ragged old man curled up in a corner and fell asleep. The old man's teeth were about to fall out, and the pale hair on his head had not been taken care of for a long time, almost tangled together.Xiaobei couldn't bear it, walked over lightly, picked out the money that could buy a piece of clothing, and gently put the rest into the old man's arms.

The old man opened his eyes, and he could only see Xiaobei's back, as if it had been gilded.

Xiaobei led the horse and searched the street, and finally stopped in front of a small stall.The salesman immediately greeted him courteously, and said, "Sir, do you want to buy clothes? Who do you want to buy them for?"

Xiao Bei was stunned for a moment, then slowly said: "My brother." But Changsheng is not his brother, it is clearly his lover.

"The young master, how about this black robe? My brother must be as handsome as the young master, and the black color is the most striking!" The salesman enthusiastically recommended it, but Xiaobei shook his head.Only Tsing Yi is the most suitable for longevity, and only that kind of longevity is the unique longevity in his memory.

His eyes suddenly stopped on the clothes in the farthest corner.For some reason, seeing that Tsing Yi, Xiao Bei almost burst into tears.Tsing Yi is light, but it burns eyes for thousands of years.

"I want that one." Xiaobei said.

"Hey? Why don't I have any impression of this dress? Could it be that it sneaked in at some time..." The salesman helped him get the Tsing Yi while muttering to himself.

The wind passed by, gently rolling up the corners of the Tsing Yi.

After paying the silver taels, Xiaobei hugged Tsing Yi in his arms.Changsheng, I'm afraid I won't be able to hand this Tsing Yi into your hands.

Riding on the horse, Xiaobei left the capital.He will never come back here, nor the Changfu, which he has not returned to for a long time.

When they returned to the army, the afterglow had just dyed the sky red, and the setting sun was like blood.

Xiao Bei, who had always been unwilling to cut off any hair, picked up a strand of long hair with a sword and cut it off.

"What are you going to do?" Zhou Bi asked.Xiaobei smiled without saying a word, tied a strand of long hair that he had cut off, and took out the Tsing Yi to tidy up.After a long time, he smiled and said, "Eternal Life is coming back."

Zhou Bi didn't know the price involved, just shook his head and walked away.

The plan has been decided, and Xiaobei will set off on the road tomorrow.

When having dinner, Xiao Bei deliberately got everyone together.The meals that are usually plain to him are surprisingly delicious today.

"Today is my last night in the army, and I will leave tomorrow to go to another place." Xiaobei said calmly.He did not explain the fact that he was going to die. 21 looked up at him, then lowered his head again.To be honest, he was also very reluctant to leave Xiao Bei.

Zhou Bi heard the words with a look of disbelief.Didn't Xiaobei still say to himself at that time, did Changsheng come back?Since Changsheng is coming back, why is Xiaobei willing to leave?Is it possible...

"Where are you going?" He heard something strange and hurriedly asked.

Xiaobei reassured him, saying that he was just transferred to another place.

"For this reason, the position of general will be handed over to Zhou Bi. I am very lucky to have met you once." Xiao Bei said, standing up and bowing deeply to them.Farewell.

Hearing this, they were a little bit reluctant, but some people hoped that he would leave as soon as possible.Xiao Bei smiled wryly, saying that no matter what, they would never see each other again.

Zhou Wei sat there in a daze, looking at Xiaobei who looked dazzling under the light, he always had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

After dinner, Xiaobei sat at the stone table outside, looking up at the sky by himself, holding Tsing Yi in his hands.

21 came over with a jug of wine, sat down on the stone bench, and placed the two wine cups on the table.Hearing the crisp knocking sound, Xiaobei turned his head, temporarily put the Tsing Yi on his lap, and filled two wine cups without saying a word.

"Come and drink with me?" Xiao Bei didn't drink well, but this time he took the initiative to raise his glass and said to 21. "Naturally." He also picked up the wine cup.

The cup was brought to his lips, and Xiaobei subconsciously poured it in a big gulp.The impact of the strong alcohol made him burst into tears, and his mouth was a little numb, but his heart was even more bitter than this.

"You said, he's coming back, but I can't see him again." Xiaobei turned his head away, facing the moonlight, and 21 happened to see him out of the corner of his eye.I don't know if there is any reluctance to live forever.

Xiaobei took out the prepared cloth, spread it out on the table, and folded the green clothes neatly and put them in.Just as he was about to wrap it up, he adjusted the neckline of the Tsing Yi worriedly, when he suddenly thought of something, he put the knotted hair on it, then wrapped it carefully and tied a knot.

"In this case, please give this clothes to Changsheng tomorrow." Xiaobei said to himself, and handed the cloth bag to 21: "I wanted to embroider some more, but I didn't have time. His original Some parts of the clothes were torn, and I didn't have a chance to mend him, so I bought a more similar one. I hope he will like it. I told you, and I must ask him to wear it. And he has been carrying The sachet I held, I saw it was still there today, and I told Changsheng to change the spices in it when I had time, it should be changed after so many years..."

Xiaobei spoke intermittently, trying to hold back tears. 21 I can't help feeling sorry for them, they are destined to be full of setbacks and scars.

Another glass of wine was filled, Xiao Bei shook the glass, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

The next day.

The sun was shining brightly and the sky was blue and pure.Xiaobei deliberately got up early in the morning, and changed into a piece of clothing that he wore less frequently.The clothes are specially chosen to be black, because when the blood stains the whole body, the black color is the least obvious.

As usual, he carried the sword on his back, drew out the sword in a smooth manner, and used several sword techniques.Just as he was about to put the sword back, Xiao Bei suddenly remembered that he would not need it anymore, so he took off the scabbard and handed it to Tian Xie who just came over, saying: "Tian Xie, please help me return Qing Yi Sword to Chang Sheng .”

Tian Xie has always been indifferent, but at this time he was also a little moved.He took the cold sword and said: "Go all the way."

Xiaobei said silently in his heart, Changsheng, you have to take care of yourself when I am not around.

Before breakfast, Zhou Bi happened to meet Xiao Bei in the courtyard. "Chang Bei, are you leaving?"

"Well, there will be a period later. I'm leaving now." Having said that, Xiao Bei turned and left.Probably never again.

21 and Tianxie rode with him to the deep mountains outside the barracks.Along the way, birdsong twittered, as if to see him off.
