Half a month later, except for the soldiers on duty, the rest of the people had already fallen asleep early.

Tomorrow's battle is about everyone's life and death, and the honor and disgrace of this life. No one dares to take it lightly, and they all take orders to go to bed early to recharge their batteries for tomorrow's final battle.

But Lin Yan, the commander of the first army, felt sleepless, got out of the big tent, walked aimlessly, and walked out of the place where the army was camped, and came to the gate of Jinling City without knowing it.

Looking at the dark brown city gate, after years of vicissitudes, it has already been mottled from the original appearance, and a burst of sadness suddenly surged in my heart.

Looking back suddenly, I found that things are not, and people are not, and I can't even see myself clearly.

The saddest thing in life is nothing more than this.

The cold wind blew across the cheeks, and the seemingly unsharp blade slashed across the cheeks forcefully. Although no blood was seen, the pain was worse than worse.

The hands hanging by the sides began to tremble unconsciously.

Everything in front of my eyes gradually began to become blurred, I couldn't see the way ahead, and I forgot the way I came.

"How come Commander Lin hasn't rested yet?" Jin Da's voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Could it be that you are worried about tomorrow's battle?".

After a while, Lin Yan just heard that Lin Yan asked calmly, "Dare to ask General Jin, how many years have you been fighting on the battlefield?"

Jin Da took two steps forward, stood side by side with Lin Yan, slightly raised his head to look at the towering city wall, "It's been nearly twenty years, the first Pingnan King and the old Pingnan King, this general has fought against both of them."

"Then General Jin has calculated, in the past twenty years, how many soldiers have been killed by you?"

Jin Da frowned and turned his head, suspiciously glanced at the side face of the man beside him who was too feminine for ordinary men, "Not at all. When I went to the battlefield, I only thought about killing a few more enemy soldiers, and didn't care about other things."

"So..." Lin Yan lowered his eyes slightly, and after a long while, he said quietly again, "General Jin will definitely not have the experience of sitting up in a dream in the middle of the night."

"..."

Jin Da didn't speak, but his thick dark eyebrows couldn't help frowning more and more. He didn't understand how the people who were still on the battlefield in silver robes and whizzing around a few days ago suddenly became like, like, Mother started chattering, what a strange thing!

"It's getting late, General Jin, please go back, I want to be alone for a while"

"..."

At a quarter of an hour on the second day, Lin Yan had already lined up his army, and Chen Bing was half a mile outside the south gate of Jinling.

Standing on the city wall and looking over, I saw a huge area of ​​black and white, so large that those who had never been on the battlefield couldn't help their legs trembling.

Lin Yan took the lead, and saw that the first horse was dark in color, bright in color, with piercing eyes, and it looked like a good horse.

And Lin Yan's back is straight, with a heroic posture, under the star eyebrows, his eyes are slightly dark, and the thick black and blue color around his eyes is also a little abrupt.

Although Lin Yan didn't order anyone to go forward to urge him, his posture made people panic even more.

The soldiers on the tower looked at the army not far away, and looked back at the city from time to time, hoping that the person who should appear would appear sooner.

Unknowingly, a long time has passed.

Here, the impatient Jinda finally couldn't bear it any longer, and pointed at the tower with the Yanyue knife in his hand.

"Damn, don't send people out quickly, otherwise don't blame your grandpa for being rude!"

Everyone above the city tower could hear this loud roar, and some timid ones couldn't help shivering.

Fortunately, Shen Chong, the commander of the forbidden army, had seen big scenes before. He squinted his eyes slightly, and Qiyun Dantian replied.

"It's still more than half an hour before the appointed time, just wait quietly!"

"Damn!"

Jin Da spat, pulled the reins and wanted to move forward, but was blocked by Lin Yan raising his hand.

"When the hell do you have to wait, just rush in and snatch the person out!"

"..."

Lin Yan still didn't say anything, just staring at the avenue leading straight into the city.

Half an hour later, Tang King Yu Shen finally appeared on the city wall.

Today, he is wearing a golden armor, standing on the top of the city overlooking the army below the city.

"Shuai Lin, I've been waiting for a long time!"

Lin Yan looked up at him slightly, his dark eyes moved slightly.

Yu Shen then turned his head to look behind him, and saw a pair of gorgeous carriages slowly approaching on the wide street.

Seeing that he was gradually approaching the city gate, Yu Shen immediately raised his right hand, and then heard Shen Chong roar, "Open the city gate!".

The city gate, which has carried the ups and downs of many years, was slowly opened, and the creaking sound came to the ears, which made people feel like they didn't know what year it was.

As early as when the city gate was only slightly opened a slit, Lin Yan subconsciously reined in the reins and gently clamped the horse's belly to meet him slowly.

Seeing that the gate of the city is being opened more and more, first the head of a brown horse is exposed, then two, then three, and gradually the whole carriage comes into view, the hand holding the rein is unconsciously exerting force, and a heart seems to be at any time. It is about to break free from the shackles of the chest and jump out.

Unanimously, when they were three feet away, they both stopped.

Lin Yan's hand holding the reins moved unconsciously, his eyes fixed on the curtain in front of the carriage, as if he wanted to penetrate the barrier and look straight into the carriage.

The curtain was finally lifted from the inside slowly, and it was Princess Yong'an Yu Sheng who came out.

Today's Yu Sheng is wearing a light purple palace attire, which is a bit more luxurious than before, and also has a hint of coldness.

The moment their eyes met, Yu Sheng looked at the man on horseback with a glint in his eyes, and his thin lips moved, but he didn't say a word.

Just as Yu Sheng's feet landed on the ground, the curtain of the car was slowly opened again. Lin Yan lifted his body almost subconsciously, and saw the man in white leaning over from the car, and got into it so easily. her eyes.

His brows and eyes were still gentle, his lips were smiling, and his tenderness was shallow. Suddenly, Lin Yan's eyes were sore, and he hurriedly turned over and got off the horse in a panic.

Standing facing each other, looking at each other across the air, the corners of their lips have similar arcs, and the same deep and shallow tenderness is engraved in their eyes.

"How is Sister Lan?"

"Well, Yan'er has lost weight again, she's become a bolt of lightning"

"Sister Lan is too"

Look at each other and smile, the past is picturesque, you never forget it, and I will engrave it in my heart.

The soldiers approached the city, but there was no sense of swords being drawn, solemn and slaying, and some were just soft voices and tender feelings.

Then, under the astonished eyes of everyone, Lin Yan raised his hand and took off the armor on his body, and then the black robe.

"Sister Lan, did you bring a needle and thread?"

"But the clothes are torn again?"

"Well, Sister Lan also knows that I am so clumsy that I really can't do such delicate work, so I can only sew for me by Sister Lao Lan."

As Lin Yan spoke, he stepped forward and handed Xia Lan the robe he took off.

Xia Lan always had a slight smile on her face. She reached out to take it and looked at it carefully, then raised her head and gave the person in front of her a helpless and reproachful look.

"How can such a good place be broken?"

Lin Yan smiled shyly, "It's not by accident."

Xia Lan pursed her lips and smiled lightly, but didn't say any more, she lowered her head and began to thread the needle.

The rest of the people all had dumbfounded expressions, and even Yu Sheng who was at the side couldn't understand what the two of them were trying to do.

So, in front of the formation of the two armies, one lowered his eyebrows and his fingertips fluttered, while the other stared quietly and waited silently.

After a cup of tea, Xia Lan twirled her needle lightly with her fingertips, and then stepped forward to carefully put on the outer shirt for Lin Yan.

Yu Shen on the top of the city tower looked at the two people who were in love with each other under the eyes of everyone, and said loudly

"Shuai Lin, now that he has been sent back intact, you can believe what this king said."

Lin Yan and Xia Lan didn't seem to notice, one smoothed the cuffs and skirts carefully, and the other stared at the person in front of them without blinking.

"Mrs. Leng came to Beijing this time because she was summoned by the emperor's grandmother. The emperor's grandmother heard that although Mrs. Leng is a female, she has inherited the loyalty and arrogance of the palace and the Xia family very well. She is very grateful. Just before the king came , the imperial grandmother has recognized Mrs. Leng as her goddaughter."

"..."

Xia Lan raised her head slightly, and gently smoothed the skirt of the neckline. Lin Yan couldn't help but took another step forward, and raised her hand to gently wrap her in her arms.

After being slightly startled, Xia Lan also raised her hands to hug the thin back of the person in front of her, her chin lightly rested on the thin right shoulder, and her picturesque eyebrows and eyes also bent into a deep arc.

The faint fragrance lingering in his nose made Lin Yan couldn't help taking a deep breath, tilting his head slightly, his hot lips brushed the delicate and smooth side of his neck as if nothing, causing the person in his arms to tremble slightly .

But Yu Shen's voice rang in his ears again, "Everyone knows that the Pingnan Palace and the Xia family have been loyal for generations, and the emperor now knows that Lin Shuai just missed the enemy's tricks this time, and now the truth is revealed. But don’t make the same mistakes again and again…”

Lin Yan lowered his eyelids slightly, and suddenly slid his right hand on his back along the slender left arm of the person in his arms, and quickly put the cool and hard thing into his sleeve, at the same time, he jumped back , and brought the person behind Mo Yimoer who had been waiting ten feet away.

"Yan'er!"

Xia Lan, who was unable to move, frowned and looked at the person in front of her, but Lin Yan only smiled gently, "Sister Lan, wait here for a while."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yan jumped back to the carriage again, looked at Yu Sheng who was still standing silently beside the carriage, and smiled slightly.

"The princess has fulfilled her promise, thank you"

"..."

Yu Sheng's eyes flashed, but before he could speak, the person in front of him turned his back to her.

"I, Lin Yan, thanks to His Majesty's great love and the trust of the previous king, took charge of this day's strategy army, but I didn't want to be instigated by traitors to commit this unforgivable crime. There are also all the officers and men who were born and died with me, Lin Yan knows that he is ashamed of His Majesty, of the late king, and of all the officers and men, and today, he will apologise with death!"

"Yan'er, no, don't!"

The sword at the waist was unsheathed, and there was a dazzling cold light in the sun, and the next moment, it was raining blood all over the sky.

Yu Sheng, who was half a zhang away, was a step late at last, his outstretched hand was stained red with dripping blood, but he only had time to catch the slender figure that was slowly falling.

"Yan'er! You guys, let me go!"

Mo recovered from the shock and was about to step forward as soon as he raised his foot. Suddenly, he thought of something, and hurriedly turned around to undo the acupoints of the man in white behind him.

Yu Sheng watched the bright red blood gurgling from the neck of the man in his arms with slack eyes, and only held down the long gash with trembling hands.

"Why, why?"

"..."

But Lin Yan just stared at the man in white who was staggering towards him, with apology, distress, and deep nostalgia in his eyes with a faint smile.

Finally falling into the tender embrace that was so familiar and unforgettable, Lin Yan couldn't help grinning, like a child.

But Xia Lan's tears fell on Lin Yan's increasingly pale face like broken beads.

"Sister Lan, the green plum wine we brewed last year, should, should be drinkable."

"Well, when we go back this time, we can take it out and drink it. At that time, I will make some of your favorite side dishes for Yan'er."

"Okay, Sister Lan's craftsmanship, Xiang, has always been the best in the world"

"As long as Yaner likes it"

"Lan, Sister Lan, we agreed that we will pick the freshest and most beautiful green plums to make wine every year, and drink it next year. You, you must not forget it in the future."

"……it is good"

"That, that's good"

Lin Yan felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and his whole body began to float up and down, as if floating in mid-air.

Until a piece of softness, coolness, and fragrance suddenly hit the lips, which was actually more beautiful than a dream.

Lin Yan couldn't help but slowly opened his eyes, looking at the face that had always been smiling tenderly, he raised his hand with great effort, and gently wiped away the out of place crystal drop on his cheek with his fingertips.

"Sister Lan, I'm so happy..."

The silvery white on the ring finger of the right hand that is slowly hanging down is glowing with a charming blood color in the morning light, reflecting the red string and silver ring on the jade neck.

The jade finger gently caressed the delicate eyebrows and eyes, the high nose bridge and the thin lips tightly, every inch was described in his heart.

Finally, he came to the blood-stained left hand of the person in his arms, and gently took out the thing hidden in the sleeve, with a slightly transparent smile on the slightly raised corners of his lips.

"Sister Lan, I'm so happy..."

"Shut up!"

The front hooves hung high, and after a long cry, a burst of dust was startled.

"No, it won't! Ah!!!"
