At the beginning of the 28th year of Ning Zhao, Tan Zihong, the son of Tan Lang, succeeded Cheng Xianhou, was named General Anbei, and went to Beidi to garrison.

In the 28th year of Ningzhao, Wang Zhenglin used his troops improperly, resulting in the loss of five cities in the northern border, and the troops in the northern border were shrunk to the pass.

At the end of the 28th year of Ningzhao, Anbei General Tan Zihong firmly defended Jiayang Pass, and repelled the [-] Oirat army, and was named the second-rank general who conquered the North.As the news spread, the military generals in the DPRK and China asked for a decisive battle with Oala.

At the beginning of the 29th year of Ningzhao, Tan Zihong, the general who conquered the north, wrote to Zhao Heng. In the letter, he mentioned that the northern border had suffered years of wars and the people's livelihood was in decline, and that there would be no progress in this war in the near future. He suggested that Zhao Heng negotiate a peace with Wala.

In March of the 29th year of Ning Zhao, Zhao Heng condemned the envoy to negotiate a peace with Oala. Oirat put forward various conditions, and the envoy of Song State agreed as appropriate. Only one was sent back to the capital by Kuai Ma.

Princess Xian, who was married into Wala six years ago, has died of illness for three years.It is too easy for people to forget the women in this world, and most of the history books record their lives in a few words.

Zhao Heng was silent for a long time, and the imperial pen replied: Zhao Wan, the fourth princess of mine, born of a good concubine, is virtuous and intelligent, has a good understanding of the general situation, and it is time to get married.If you can get married with the Great Khan, it will be the joy of the two countries.

When the decree was issued, there was another uproar.In just six years, Song Guo even sent two princesses to marry into Wala, which really made too many ambitious people sigh, but what they sighed was only the rise and fall of the country, and no one would still be powerless to fight against fate for the honorable title. woman sighs.

"Who is negotiating peace?" The woman who had been silent for a long time finally smiled wryly.

"General Zhengbei, Tan Zihong."

"Tan Zihong..." A tear rolled down the corner of his eye, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Okay, I'll marry you."

Ten days later, Shili Hongzhuang set off from the capital again.This time, there was no emperor accompanying him.The four princesses embarked on the road of marrying north alone.

The scenery in the northern border is the same as it was six years ago, as if nothing had happened.However, everything has changed.

Zhao Wan lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the scenery outside almost greedily. She had the most unforgettable time here.She never thought that she would come back, but now, she came back again in this way, and she will say goodbye to the past completely from here.

There is no end to the continuous grassland in the distance, but she still wants to see further, she knows that that person is nearby.The separation more than a year ago was too hasty, and she didn't have time to say too many things, but now she has thought thoroughly enough, she doesn't want to miss this last chance, she wants to be with that person explain.

But, will that person come to see me...

"Zihong is a woman, how can she get married?!"

"Princess, you are Zihong's best friend and confidant, Zihong can't hurt you!"

"Ajiao can't stand the princess doing this."

"Xi'er, none of us have enough reason to do this."

"Xi'er... If you have someone in your heart, that's Zicheng too. Where is Tan Zihong..."

Xi'er... She really likes it when she calls herself like that...

Thinking of Tan Zihong's resolute expression when they parted, Zhao Wan felt as if a knife was piercing his heart.This kind of pain is not unfamiliar at all. For more than a year, every time I think of this person and think of this separation, it is accompanied by such pain.

The pain was carved into the bone marrow.

Suddenly, a horse appeared at the end of the field of vision. The person on the horse was dressed in black armor, so he couldn't see clearly.Behind is the setting sun and the vast world. In the dim afterglow, the figure against the light is actually indescribably lonely.

Zhao Wan stared blankly at the figure. Although she couldn't see clearly, she felt that the man was very familiar until the convoy got closer.She was finally sure that that person was Tan Zihong!

Reckless, he got up and rushed out of the carriage. The soldier driving outside was startled, and hurriedly reined in the reins. He turned around and saw the princess in a wedding dress who was about to jump off the carriage, but he didn't react for a while.

"Princess! What are you going to do!"

Finally someone came to his senses, and the maid who was following hurriedly helped her up, "Princess, go back to the carriage!"

This loud shout startled Zhao Wan, she turned her head in a daze, only then did she notice that the soldiers around her looked at her with extremely surprised eyes.That's right, she is now a conjugal princess, and what she undertakes is the peaceful hope of a country, she can no longer be willful.When I looked forward again, the figure had disappeared, the sun was about to set, the sky was already dark, and the dark clouds were rolling in, presumably a storm was coming.The grassland in the distance was hidden in the darkness, like a sleeping beast, staring at her viciously.Feeling cold, she sat back in the car weakly.

A missed opportunity never comes back.

Unfortunately, she understood too late.

After entering Jiayang Pass, it will be her last city in the motherland.The general stationed here is Tan Zihong.

Zhao Wan never thought that she would have the opportunity to meet Tan Zihong again. She thought that this was probably because God wanted to give them a chance to say goodbye. The parting a year ago was too hasty. There should be more to their stories. A rigorous ending, after all, the first meeting was also hasty.

"Princess, this building is called Guanxing Building. Jiayang Pass is small, and you can see almost all the scenery in the city from here."

Tan Zihong was wearing a long black robe, holding a quilt in his hand, which looked like a piano.

Zhao Wan stared at the person in front of her without blinking. After more than a year, this person became even thinner, and the not-so-big robe covered her body but couldn't support her figure.Only then did she realize that when she had spent more than a year concentrating on figuring out the complicated emotions in her heart, how could she understand the pressure and pain this person was carrying.

In the blink of an eye, Zicheng has been there for more than a year, and in this place full of memories, the woman in front of her has survived this period of time.There are constant wars and disasters in the northern border, and she has wandered on the edge of life and death several times before she can stand in front of her today.

Suddenly, she felt grateful for this desperate marriage.If she married herself, this person would be safe, so it was a good result, and besides, this peace was what she hoped for.

"Ajiao, how are you doing?"

Tan Zihong put down the things in his arms, and carefully unfolded the wrapped cloth. Sure enough, it was a pipa.

"This is made of nanmu, which is unique to the Northland. The luthier said that this pipa is a rare masterpiece. If I hadn't guarded the Jiayang Pass, he would not have sold it to me. Since you are good at the rhythm, princess, you should It's a sword with a hero, and it's also my wedding gift to the princess."

Tan Zihong's soft tone and eyes were like thorns, deeply piercing into Zhao Wan's heart.Zhao Wan lowered her head, looked at the pipa, and all kinds of chaotic memories flooded up again. For a moment, she wanted to laugh, laughing at herself and Tan Zihong.

"Ajiao, did you give me a wedding present?" She laughed again as she spoke, and finally laughed hard, clutching her stomach and falling down on the chair.It's really strange, I'm obviously smiling, but the tears roll down without knowing when.

"Princess..." Tan Zihong frowned, but still stood there without moving.

"Tan Zihong, you are so determined!" Zhao Wan suddenly withdrew her smile, and looked at Tan Zihong with despair and brokenness in her eyes, as well as resentment, "I thought you would be with me after that separation." The same reluctance and confusion, so it is really a farewell to you! Tan Zihong, are you so happy if I don't marry you!"

Tan Zihong still didn't say a word, but his eyes darkened, and the finger bones holding the pipa turned white.

"Tan Zihong, Ajiao, are you serious in your heart that you only wish me well!" Zhao Wan gritted her teeth, stood up and walked in front of Tan Zihong, staring fiercely into her eyes.

"Princess... the marriage is a sacrifice made for the sake of the country. I know that what you don't want... is that I will write a letter to your Majesty, and your majesty will..." Tan Zihong's voice fell hoarse, trembling uncontrollably .

"Tan Jiao!" Zhao Wan couldn't hold it anymore, she reached out and raised Tan Zihong's lowering head, forcing her to look at herself, "Yes, I don't want to make a kiss, but the last thing I want, It's marrying someone else!"

"Didn't you ask me who lives in my heart? You are wrong, that person is not Tan Zicheng. But you are also right, the person in my heart is indeed not Tan Zihong, but the girl named Ajiao!" Zhao Wan approached It's not that she has no scruples when she yelled out these words, but she is very clear that if she doesn't say these words, she will never have the chance to say them again.

Tan Zihong's expression froze for a moment, and he looked at Zhao Wan dumbly, with an unprecedented confusion on his face.

What is Zhao Wan talking about? She said that the person in her heart is Ajiao?Ah Jiao?That girl named Ajiao?How is it possible, how is this possible?No, of course it's impossible. Didn't I realize that the so-called intentional marriage back then was just a way to win her over.

"Princess, I know you don't want to get married, but why do you bother to say such inexplicable words, I am a woman, don't princesses think these words are too absurd!" Tan Zihong broke away from Zhao Wan's hand, and his tone became cold.

"Absurd... Oh, isn't it absurd? Obviously I hated you so much at the beginning, hated your arrogance, hated your indifference. Compared with Zicheng, Tan Zihong is really a nuisance!" Zhao Wan said while stepping back Tan Zihong's words just now tore her heart apart, and she now understood what heart-piercing pain is. The previous pain was her own entanglement, but this time, it was the most direct injury from that person. , a person who lives in the heart can tear the heart easily.

"But the person I hate is called Tan Zihong! Later, the person I met and fell in love with was Ajiao! It was Ajiao who exchanged secrets with me, it was Ajiao who broke his leg trying to save me, and it was Ajiao who broke his leg to save me. The Ajiao who told me she didn’t regret it was the one who rejected me and wanted to go back to the north alone! Why do you call me absurd, I put Ajiao in my heart, why is it absurd!”

At the end of Zhao Wan's speech, her voice became a little hoarse, and she stared at Tan Zihong fiercely, like a little beast on the verge of extinction, but still stubbornly guarding her own things.

Tan Zihong had never seen such a Zhao Wan before, and all the pretended indifference instantly collapsed. Facing such a Zhao Wan, she could not deceive anyone, neither Zhao Wan nor herself.
