Regret Records of Cultivating a Tyrant

On the second day of the first month of the 84th year of the old calendar, a small courtyard in the west of Liangcheng.

There was only a little red on the coals in the indoor brazier, which had obviously been burning all night.

"Shi Qing..." Jiang Yu was lying on the bed, but his right hand was tightly clutching the quilt covering his body, apparently caught in a bad dream.

"Shi Qing!" Almost yelling the name, Jiang Yu opened his eyes suddenly, loosened his palms and squeezed out the wrinkled quilt, and sat up propped up. There are circles of clean cloth strips.

The scene in the dream left him with lingering fears. His forehead and temples were covered with cold sweat. Jiang Yu panted heavily, trying to suppress his uneasiness. He put on a padded jacket and opened the door to go outside. He met Han Jinfeng who had hurried back.

"General Han, have you seen Shi Qing?" When he went out, he realized that it was bright daylight. Obviously, he had been sleeping from night to dawn.

Han Jinfeng shook his head, but said: "Your Highness, the barbarians have retreated this morning!"

Jiang Yu was startled. It should have been good news, but it gave him a strong bad feeling.

"Why are they retreating?"

"Still under investigation!" Han Jinfeng said, "Yi Ming said that looking north from the city tower yesterday, it seemed that there was a skyrocketing fire in the direction of the barbarian camp. Afterwards, the barbarian camp was in chaos, and within a quarter of an hour they blew the horn to retreat. , This morning, they pulled out their camp and retreated, unexpectedly giving up this excellent opportunity to attack Zhige City!"

The ominous premonition in Jiang Yu's heart became stronger.

He asked, "Where's Shi Qing? Shouldn't Shi Qing come to Liangcheng with us?"

He remembered that he fell asleep suddenly after being warm with Shi Qing last night, and woke up today in Liangcheng, but the person who should have been by his side was gone.

Last night it was clearly agreed that we would come to Liangcheng together, why was he the only one left?

And he has always been a light sleeper, so how could he sleep until dawn? !

"Where's Shi Qing!" He grabbed Han Jinfeng's shoulders suddenly, and the padded jacket he was wearing fell to the ground. The biting cold enveloped his whole body, but he was no match for the fear that rose in Jiang Yu's heart at this moment.

"General Han, nothing else matters! Tell me where Shi Qing is?!"

Han Jinfeng was taken aback by his anxious expression, pressed his shoulders, and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, my younger brother said last night that his father told him to do some things in the northern border, and it probably took some time in Zhige City. Now The barbarians have retreated, and he should be safe."

Although Han Shiqing didn't come after him last night, Han Jinfeng wasn't too worried.

"No..." Jiang Yu let go of Han Jinfeng's hand. He stood there and frowned, muttering, "No, no, Shi Qing is lying, he is lying!"

He picked up the clothes on the ground, put them on hastily, went back to the room to change his shoes, and shouted to Han Jinfeng, "General Han, help me find a fast horse! I'm going to Zhige City now!"

Although Han Jinfeng was puzzled by Jiang Yu's attitude, he immediately ordered someone to find a horse for Jiang Yu. He originally wanted to go with Jiang Yu, but there were still [-] city soldiers and tens of thousands of people in Liangcheng who needed him to arrange adjustments. had to stay.

Jiang Yu didn't even have time to tie up his hair, and his clothes were sloppy, the buttons on the top were buttoned in the wrong place, and his hands were shaking all the time, until he grasped the reins tightly.

"drive!"

He drove the horse, exhaled clouds of white air, and galloped towards Zhige City in this cold first month.

It took an hour to rush to Zhige City. When Jiang Yu saw Han Yiming, he shouted, "General Han, can you see Shi Qing?!"

"Shi Qing?" Han Yiming was directing the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

Since the news of the retreat of the barbarians has been confirmed, the atmosphere in Zhige City is much more relaxed than yesterday.

Han Yiming walked up to Jiang Yuma and frowned, "Isn't my brother with you, Your Highness?"

Jiang Yu only felt a buzzing in his head, and he almost couldn't stand up.

"No..." He tried his best to restrain his emotions so as not to yell at Han Yiming, he repeated, "Shiqing was not with us! He disappeared! He didn't follow us! He lied! "

He grabbed his hair with one hand, inserted his five fingers into the hair, his eyes were bloodshot, "Why did he lie? Why did he lie to me..."

"Your Highness!" Seeing that he was not in the right state, Han Yiming hurriedly called him, "Your Highness, don't worry, Shi Qing is such a big man, he won't get lost, look for him, and he will definitely be found in a while!"

"No, that's not right!" Jiang Yu was in a state of confusion, and a flash of light flashed in his mind. He hurriedly asked Han Yiming, "General Han, have you found out why the barbarians retreated?"

The news from Han Jinfeng will be later, but Han Yiming has already completed the investigation here.

Han Yiming felt relieved when he mentioned this matter, he said, "The scouting team came to report that the barbarian camp caught fire and burned all the food and grass of the 20 army, and their khan Rasurong was also killed by unknown people." The Central Plains people were assassinated.

"Without the leader and food, they naturally have to retreat!"

"Food... Assassination..." Some details were connected into a clue in Jiang Yu's mind, and the truth was about to come out.

"Lieutenant Han!" At this moment, the messenger who sent orders to the soldiers of Zhige City came from outside the city on horseback. When he saw Jiang Yu, he handed him the letter in his hand, "I was looking for you, what a coincidence , and here it comes."

He said, "This is an urgent letter from Yong'an, the adults over there asked me to deliver it to you as soon as possible!"

Jiang Yu calmed down a little. He took the letter, opened it, and after reading the contents at a glance, his hands were already trembling badly, and even his whole body was trembling.

Then, without waiting for Han Yiming to ask him what the letter contained, he got on his horse and shouted to Han Yiming, "General Han, open the north city gate! I want to go out!"

"What?" Han Yiming couldn't call His Highness Jiang Yu in front of so many people, so he could only say, "What are you going to do?!"

"Open the city gate!" Jiang Yu rode his horse and ran towards the city gate. The voice of the order pierced the air, and it was a bit shrill. It seemed that he could only say this at this moment, shouting.

"Open the city gate quickly!!"

Han Yiming didn't dare to stop him, so he had to order the soldiers to open the city gate, and then he also found a fast horse and chased Jiang Yu away.

The heavy city gate opened a narrow gap, and the two men and horses rushed out of the gap and galloped towards the vast city of Zhige.

Han Yiming caught up with Jiang Yu and shouted against the wind, "Your Highness, what was written in that letter? Why are you rushing out of the city?!"

Jiang Yu only pursed his thin lips into a line, and ignored him. His messy long hair was flying behind his back, revealing a handsome face full of seriousness and fear and anxiety about to collapse.

That was a letter from Lin Shicheng.

Lin Shicheng gave all the assassins of Xuanjin Tower to Shi Qing.

He asked Shi Qing to help him.

He also said that Han Shan also followed Shi Qing.

But Shi Qing didn't mention this matter to him.

He didn't even tell Han Jinfeng and Han Yiming that Han Shan was coming too!

Why did he suddenly fall asleep last night?

Why didn't Shi Qing go to Liangcheng with them?

Why is he lying?

How did it happen that the Khan of the barbarians was killed and the food and grass were burned?

Who is that unidentified Central Plains man?

The more Jiang Yu thought about it, the more frightened he felt. The feeling of his entire heart being clenched by his palms made it difficult for him to even breathe. Every breath he inhaled was like a sharp knife stirring in his body, causing him unbearable pain.

Shi Qing...

Han Shiqing...

What the hell have you done?

The barbarians retreated quickly, and by the time Jiang Yu and Han Yiming arrived, all the barbarian camps had disappeared, leaving only the remains of burnt tents and the corpses of some barbarian soldiers spread out in concentrated or scattered places. on the ground.

Jiang Yu dismounted, ran over in a hurry, and looked at the faces of the corpses one by one, his heart was up and down, almost jumping out of his throat.

He was like a demon, Han Yiming didn't answer any questions he asked, he just walked back and forth quickly at the place where the barbarians camped before, bending over for a while, short for a while, his long hair became more messy with his hurried movements , part of it stuck to his face, the corner of his mouth.

"It's not him..." Jiang Yu didn't care. He checked the corpses one by one and whispered, "It wasn't him..."

"Without Shi Qing, I wouldn't..."

What he wanted to say stopped abruptly, his throat seemed to be tightly blocked by a hard bone, which made Jiang Yu lose his voice for a moment.

Following the direction pointed by the edge of the Qinglang sword, Jiang Yu saw the man lying on the ground on his side. His hands were still holding the man in black in front of him, only half of his face was exposed, but Jiang Yu still recognized him. over him.

That was Han Shiqing.

It was Han Shiqing who was still hugging him tenderly yesterday.

Jiang Yu could barely stand, he ran over staggeringly, knelt down on the ground, and carefully pulled Han Shiqing out of Han Shan's arms.

Han Shiqing's face, back, arms, waist and legs were pierced with dozens of feathered arrows, each of which penetrated into the flesh and blood, and even penetrated into the bone marrow.

The barbarians didn't hold back, and shot three or four waves of arrows at Han Shiqing and Han Shan as if venting their anger. From this point of view, Han Shiqing's body was almost intact except for his chest.

"Shiqing..." Jiang Yu didn't even dare to touch the arrow stuck on Han Shiqing's mountain, so he knelt on the ground, lying in Han Shiqing's ear and calling him, "Shiqing wake up, don't sleep, Shiqing..."

Shouting like this, his eye circles were already red, and the huge stimulation made him lose his ability to think. His pupils seemed to have no focus, and only Han Shiqing's face was reflected in them. The teardrops, the size of peas, rolled out Part of the eye socket fell to the ground, and the other part rubbed against Han Shiqing's pale face.

"Shi Qing, look at me, Shi Qing, I'm here to find you." He said, "Shi Qing, I found you, didn't you say to come back to Liangcheng with me? Why did you miss the appointment? I haven't seen you for a long time, how scared are you?"

He spoke incoherently, as if Han Shiqing was still alive.

"Your Highness?" Han Yiming had already walked over from a distance, and when he saw the corpses of Han Shan and Han Shiqing, he paused and was completely stunned on the spot.

He looked around and saw many corpses of people from the Central Plains who were wearing the same clothes as those two lying on the ground, their heads seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and he understood everything instantly.

"How could this be..." Han Yiming couldn't stand firmly, and sat down on the ground. He almost crawled in front of Han Shan and Han Shiqing, his throat was choked, and tears flowed out.

He wanted to touch Han Shiqing's face but Jiang Yu waved his hand away.

"Don't touch him!" Jiang Yu finally hugged Han Shiqing into his arms. He stepped back to distance himself from Han Yiming. He murmured, "Don't touch him. He fell asleep. It's too cold here. He goes back..."

He really looked like a lunatic this time, the hair that grew below his shoulders hung down on Han Shiqing's bloodless face, stained with blood, forming strips, dangling with his body trembling and moving .

He held Han Shiqing like a wild wolf protecting a cub, staring at Han Yiming with fierce and empty eyes, chilling to the bone, but panic and fear were revealed deep inside.

"Your Highness, little brother, he already..."

"No!" Jiang Yu yelled, the sharp voice did not seem to come from him, "Shi Qing is not dead!! Han Shiqing is not dead!! He is not dead!!"

His voice was almost hoarse, and his brain was in pain. Jiang Yu was furious, and blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth. This time, he hugged the person in his arms tightly, and said to him against his cold face: "Shi Qing, Your second brother is talking nonsense, he said you are dead, you open your eyes and look at me, you tell him that you are alive and well, don’t sleep, you wake up quickly, I will tell you good news.”

"The barbarians retreated, and Zhige City was saved. This is all thanks to you. You have made such a great contribution, so you have to see it? Let me tell you, this time your elder brother and second brother are both alive and well." Yes, they are not dead, and the people of Zhige City are not injured, you have to wake up to see them."

"Shiqing, didn't you promise me last night? I asked you if the wish I made on my 14th birthday could come true. You said yes. Do you know how happy I am? In this life, you said let me let you go." General’s Mansion, I promise you, you told me not to lie to you again, I promised you too, now your family is fine, I can promise you anything you want, but you have to be by my side to supervise me , you have to watch me fulfill my promise one by one, right?"

He bent his legs, raised Han Shiqing's back, and prevented the arrow from piercing deeper into his flesh. He pressed Han Shiqing's profile against his chest, rubbed his chin against the other's forehead, and passed through the arrow lightly with trembling fingers. Gently pressing Han Shiqing's head into his arms.

Tears ran across his cheeks and dripped on Han Shiqing's face. Jiang Yu sucked his nose and sobbed with sobs. His face was messed up by hair, tears, and blood.

In the end, this kind of discussion tone turned into an endless pleading.

He said: "Shi Qing, please, please see if I can do it?"

"Please! Please look at me! Look at me..." After calling several times to no avail, he began to cry like a child. Call.

"what----"

"what----"

No one can imagine how painful he is now.

Under the boundless world, he hugged the person in his arms tightly, and the whole body was shaking from crying, and the breath was short and urgent, like a drowning man who lost his last driftwood, and the river was too high The top of his head was submerged, but no one could hold him back.

One night in heaven, one night in hell.

He was born again for Han Shiqing, but he completely lost this person after receiving his forgiveness in this life.
