dream

"Since we have descended to Yecheng, the next step is Dayu." Standing in front of the sand table, Jing Cheng was dressed in a military uniform, his facial features were stiff, and his eyes showed the aura of battle-tested killing. Two fingers point directly at the location of Dayu.

On the sand table, there are red flags all around, enclosing the only ink-colored land in the middle tightly.

"The last country is also the country with the largest territory and the strongest strength, but you don't have to be afraid. Today's Dayu is no longer the hegemony of the Central Plains in the past, and the Liang country is not the small vassal country of the past! As long as you wish Work together with me, and within four years, we will conquer the capital of Dayu!"

The last word fell with a loud voice.Jing Cheng looked around and saw that the competent subordinates who had followed him for more than ten years were all excited, their faces were excited, and they answered loudly, "Yes!"

With such loyal and brave soldiers, the teacher of tigers and wolves, and surrounded by think tanks, why can't they rule the world in their lifetime?Although Jing Cheng's face was calm, he couldn't restrain his joy in his heart.

Good news came from the front line frequently, but in just over ten years, the surrounding small countries have been placed under the rule, and now only the former behemoth of Dayu remains.He didn't expect this day to come so quickly, five years earlier than he expected, and all of this was due to the excellent strategy of the counselor beside him.

Jing Cheng looked towards the person on the right, "Yanzhi..."

Unexpectedly, the other party is rarely in a trance. Jing Cheng has been with him for many years, and he has always treated him differently. He can only call him not by his official position, but by his name.Seeing him like this, he could only patiently call out two more times, "Yanzhi?"

Xu Xingyuan lowered his eyes slightly. Under the sunlight, his light-colored eyes showed alienation, and his eyes stopped somewhere, thinking about something.He was dressed in ordinary literati's commoner clothes, clean and elegant, and he did not wear official clothes.He seemed out of place in this big tent full of dust and blood, whether it was his appearance or his transparent temperament, people could notice him at the first sight.

This person's temperament is so clear and transparent that some people always jokingly say that the prime minister is more suitable for seeking immortality and asking questions outside the world, rather than in this red-dusted imperial capital.

Hearing the emperor's call, Xu Xingyuan hurriedly recovered, "The minister is here, Your Majesty?"

Jing Cheng was helpless, but he didn't blame him. He waved his hands and said, "You stay, and the rest of you can retreat. Pass down the order to rest in place for three days, and reward the three armies tonight. You have worked hard these days, go and rest."

Xu Xingyuan got up when he heard the words, and watched everyone leave the tent. The bloody smell around his nose became more obvious. Looking back, it turned out that the emperor was approaching.

Even in private, Jing Cheng was not as serious as before, he just patted him on the shoulder, "What was Yanzhi thinking just now?"

Xu Xingyuan raised his face, his pale pupils stared at the emperor's face for a moment, his brows were furrowed, he hesitated to speak, he didn't answer Jing Cheng's question for a while.Xu Xingyuan has always been self-restraining and courteous, even if the emperor treats him kindly, he will never lose his sense of propriety, but at this time, his actions can be regarded as overstepping.

The emperor in military uniform looked a little embarrassed, but he didn't blame him. He just said patiently, "It's just you and me here. If you have something to say, you may as well speak up."

Thirteen years ago, Jing Cheng, who was still the prince, personally visited the famous scholar Xu Xingyuan and invited him to his side, and this counselor also condescended to Jing Cheng, and advised him to conquer the enemy country.Now everyone knows that anyone around the emperor can offend, except the prime minister.

Even the daughter of the emperor's Shen family, the current empress, was all over-the-top by the prime minister.

Xu Xingyuan hesitated again and again, as if he was in a dilemma, he finally asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, are you really going to conquer Dayu?"

Jing Cheng was very surprised, let the prime minister who looked at him, couldn't think that the always intelligent and transparent man could ask such a stupid question, shook his head and said with a smile, "Now that the 30 troops are suppressing the situation, if it is not for the unification of the Central Plains, Could it be that you came here to enjoy the scenery?"

"Your Majesty, I have been fighting for 13 years. I believe that until today, His Majesty has reached a level that the previous emperors of all dynasties can't hold a candle to. Going forward, I don't know how many years it will take to end... Your Majesty has been away for three years. Once the battle line is lengthy, the domestic situation I am afraid……"

Every time Jing Cheng heard a sentence, his complexion darkened. When he heard the last sentence, he finally interrupted him with a wave of his sleeve, "There is still a prince in the country. Now that the army is overwhelming, I don't want to hear you say this. I went to invite you back then and talked with you. At that time, I said that in my lifetime, I will see the world come and go, and the five continents will be unified, why did you hesitate at the last step?"

Although not explicitly stated, this sentence obviously has a bit of blame.Xu Xingyuan frowned slightly, his eyes were on the verge of leaving the emperor.He knew that he shouldn't have asked this question today, but facing a familiar face, he still couldn't help blurting it out.

Xu Xingyuan sighed slightly in his heart, bent over and said, "It's my fault, Your Majesty forgive me."

Jing Cheng waved his hand, originally intending to discuss the next step of combat deployment with him, but he didn't expect Xu Xingyuan to be like this, and suddenly lost interest.Thinking that it was the rest period, Xu Xingyuan, a scholar, was very tired these days following the bumpy battles with the army, otherwise he would not have been in a trance, let alone be in a trance to say such words.

The inconvenience at this moment is too embarrassing for him, so let's talk about it in two days.

Xu Xingyuan bowed his hands and withdrew from the big tent.

The night was full of stars, Xu Xingyuan smelled the slightly moist air mixed with the smell of blood in the night sky, and looked up at the sky full of stars.

The central emperor star is getting brighter day by day, the surrounding stars are dim, and his destiny has long been determined. What he is doing now is just one of the many dim stars, guarding the emperor star and looking up at it silently among thousands of glory. Just brilliant.

In the end, he couldn't escape the last step... Xu Xingyuan silently walked up to the top of the mountain. Looking from here, he could see the lights of thousands of families in the territory of Dayu, which was peaceful.

"This used to be... the land you swore to defend to the death in the southern border." His slender fingers brushed against the old tree trunk, and the last words were almost inaudible, "Now I help you and let you lead Iron cavalry came to flatten your homeland, am I doing something wrong again?"

After reliving his first life, Xu Xingyuan made up his mind long ago that in this life he will only be by his side silently and will not interfere with his fate, and only hope to make up for the mistakes of the previous life.Whatever Jing Cheng asks for, he will work tirelessly to fulfill his wish.But what if his wish was to destroy Dayu?

How should he choose?

He has already done one thing wrong, ruining the national destiny of Dayu, and causing his best friend Yunshao to stay away from the imperial capital and never return, causing Jing Chengyi to die for the country and the frontier. This time, he can't do the wrong thing again.

There was silence all around.

No matter how transparent a person lives, when it comes to himself, there will always be things that cannot be imagined and knots that cannot be untied.

"My friend..." A clear voice came from behind, with a helpless chuckle, the voice was very familiar, upon hearing this, the normally calm prime minister was overjoyed, and turned around quickly.

Sure enough, under the moonlight, the two stood side by side for an unknown how long, and there was a beautiful bird standing on each shoulder.Seeing him, the bird flew over with a happy cry, and stood intimately on Xu Xingyuan's shoulder.

The one who spoke just now had a high crown in a humane robe, held a whisk in his hand, had a handsome and gentle face, and looked at him with a smile; the other person was taller, with a handsome face, but a slightly gloomy face, obviously he was not worried about being dragged here .

"At first, I thought that Minghui is like you, and you don't care about everything, and you live extremely transparently. I didn't expect to see you when you are confused. This is the benefit of living for a long time." Yun Shao chuckled, "It can be seen that the authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear. It is not unreasonable."

Bai Yin gave Xu Xingyuan a squinting look impatiently, apparently he didn't even bother to speak a word to him.Mr. Mangchuan, after three lifetimes, really lived and returned.If it hadn't been for what he said to Yun Shao on the Naihe Bridge back then, it would have been considered a help for him, Bai Yin would never have wanted to accompany Yun Shao on this trip.

Xu Xingyuan shook his head mockingly, "I'm not a bright-minded person, so I made you laugh."

The Taoist priest in Daiqing Taoist robe took a few steps forward, shook his head with a smile, and looked at the stars with him, "I really didn't expect the fate of the overlord. In this life, Jing Chengyi has indeed possessed the power of a generation of enlightened masters." qualifications and fate."

"What are you struggling with?" Yun Shao said gently, "In terms of intimacy, Da Yu is connected by my blood, and I can still watch it indifferently, let alone him?

Today's him is no longer the general who vowed to defend the country to the death, and today's you are no longer the drinker who plays games in the world.You are different people, so why bother to be persistent, it is you who have the appearance.

What was your original intention when you came, and your current purpose will not change.Whether you are fulfilling his wish in the previous life or in this life, don't forget..." Yun Shao sighed, "What's more, even if you get to this point, no matter how much you block it, you won't be able to change anything, instead it will only make him hate you.Other than that, it doesn't help.This is no longer something you can control, so whether you help or not is not so important. "

Yun Shao's eyes fell on Bai Yin, and he gestured slightly.Bai Yin used to be in charge of cause and effect, only when Bai Yin nodded, could Xu Xingyuan truly be convinced.

Bai Yin was a little impatient, but still nodded, "Indeed."

Mang Chuanjun and Jing Chengyi's regretful past, the two of them are very clear.A Sea God Temple who voluntarily closed the sky for the rest of his life, and a person who willingly fell into Wangchuan and searched for many years, but in the end he could only sigh that good fortune made people fool.Back then, although Bai Yin's face was as cold as iron, because of Yun Shao, there was still a softness in his heart. When he faced Mang Chuan again, he let Mang Chuan be reincarnated by Jing Chengyi's side for selfishness.

Unexpectedly, in this life, Mangchuan really has nothing to ask for, loves so much, as long as he sees the other party safe and happy, he can see the emperor marrying a wife and having children, and he is still willing to follow him around, no matter what.Such a person, Bai Yin disdains, but understands.

Xu Xingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, the choked knot in his heart seemed to dissipate in an instant, he nodded to Yun Shao with a smile, and then bowed respectfully to Bai Yin, "Thank you."

Bai Yin turned sideways, not accepting his courtesy, held Yun Shao's hand, and disappeared in place in an instant.

"The emperor is waiting for you." The person had already left, but the cold voice was still floating in the night sky.

Xu Xingyuan was slightly moved, and turned to look back at the big tent. Sure enough, in the middle of the night, the military tent in the middle was still lit.He knew that someone was still waiting for him.Even if she interrupted his dissuasion with anger, she still cared about his thoughts.

In life, there are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things.

Even if we can no longer join hands, if you are like this, what more can you ask for.

In this life, that's all.
