you are my tomorrow

Chapter 33 When the flowers bloom, you can't see the leaves

"Your Highness!"

Zhao Rongzhen's modest call attracted the attention of the crowd, and Zhongyi also let go of his hands embracing Comet, and lowered his head.

Everything was in slow motion, Comet turned around, walked up to Zhao Rongzhen, looked at Zhao Rongzhen with a little emptiness in his eyes, "It's all right, let's go in."

Comet held Zhao Rongzhen's arm with one hand, lifted the curtain of the military tent with the other, and helped Zhao Rongzhen into the military tent, but Zhao Rongzhen could clearly feel the trembling of Comet's hand, until Comet helped him lie down on the bed, the trembling was gone It stopped, but it seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.

"Comet..." Zhao Rongzhen looked at Comet worriedly, but couldn't say a word of comfort. Zhao Rongzhen, who was used to seeing swords and swords on the battlefield, felt numb to killing, but remembered that he followed his father when he was 16 years old. On the battlefield, after killing the first person with his own hands, his state is similar to Comet's current state.

Uneasy, scared, trembling, cold.

The successive battles at that time left Zhao Rongzhen no time for self-pity and self-pity. He also knew that his whole life belonged to the battlefield—this is either you die, or I live in a cruel place. Soon, he "adapted" to the battlefield. Life.

But comet is different, he should not be a person on the battlefield.

Seeing that Comet couldn't untie his belt because of his trembling hands, Zhao Rongzhen couldn't bear to watch anymore, he got up and helped Comet take off his blood-spattered coat, Comet saw Zhao Rongzhen helping him, so he didn't do anything else, Zhao Rongzhen put The dirty clothes were thrown at the door, and when he turned around, Comet was still standing there, with his head down, looking at his feet.

Zhao Rongzhen walked slowly to the sink, wet the towel, walked to Comet, picked up his hands, wiped off the blood stains, and put the towel aside.Comet's hands were still shaking and a little cold, Zhao Rongzhen put those trembling hands into his arms, then gently hugged Comet into his arms, and patted Comet's back lightly, The hands up to the chest were still trembling a little, but the coolness was no longer there.

"...Rongzhen, I...killed someone." When Zhao Rongzhen thought that Comet was about to fall asleep, and he was about to lay Comet down on the bed, Comet's slightly trembling voice sounded muffled and nasal. .

"I promise you, this is the first time and it will be the last time."

Zhao Rongzhen's downcast eyes were full of hatred, until the hatred turned into biting cold, and his mind was full of Chen Yuan's face...

The next morning, Zhao Rongzhen got up while the comet was still asleep. Although he still felt unwell, he couldn't wait any longer. The weather at the end of August had gradually improved. The gauntlet will come sooner or later, and he doesn't want to be passive anymore.

After breakfast, Zhao Rongzhen was ready to enter the general's tent to discuss the war with other generals. Meng Qinghuan, who had just finished breakfast, happened to pass by the general's tent. Seeing Zhao Rongzhen standing at the door, he was so surprised that he said, "General Zhao... let's start now." In terms of war, it is still a bit reluctant for you..."

"My body is for fighting, not for recuperation..." Meng Qinghuan didn't expect Zhao Rongzhen to respond. This was the first sentence Zhao Rongzhen said to him since he entered the military doctor, so that Meng Qinghuan couldn't help it for a while. Realizing that Zhao Rong was really talking to him, "Have you heard about what happened last night, sir? Comet didn't sleep well at night, for a while...you can help him look."

"...Yes, you have to do what you can, and I'll see a doctor for you when you're done."

Meng Qinghuan was stunned for a moment before realizing that Zhao Rongzhen didn't say anything, just nodded, turned and walked into the general's tent.

When it was close to noon, Meng Qinghuan felt that Comet should wake up, and stood outside the curtain and called Comet. The doctor's faint answer sounded from the tent, and Meng Qinghuan lifted the curtain and walked in. Comet was still lying on the bed, eyes glazed over. looking at the ceiling.Meng Qinghuan moved a stool and sat by the bed, touching Comet's forehead, it wasn't hot.

"The general said you didn't sleep well yesterday, so let me show you." Meng Qinghuan's words caught Comet's attention, and he slowly turned his head to the side, forcing himself to show a faint smile.

"He finally talked to you?"

Meng Qinghuan lowered her head in embarrassment and smiled.

"Is your Highness uncomfortable?"

"... Nothing wrong, just a headache... It seems that I have been having nightmares all night, but when I wake up, I don't remember what I dreamed, and it doesn't seem to be a nightmare..."

Meng Qinghuan moved Comet's head slightly outward, and then gently began to massage, Comet closed his eyes.

"It's better not to remember the nightmare."

"... I seem to have dreamed of Rong Zhen's parents. It was a bright day and the sun was shining. They stood outside the general's mansion and smiled kindly. They waved to me in red and let me pass. When I walked to them When I was in front of them, they looked at me resentfully again, and slowly fell down in front of me, and the surrounding became the day of the funeral again, and the heavy snow in the sky seemed to never end. I looked to the ground, but there was only yesterday The man I killed, he also looked at me with resentment... Then I walked in the endless darkness, with no end in sight, and no truth...Suddenly someone patted my shoulder, I turned my head, and Zhang Wei was standing next to me Behind him, looking at me sadly, as if there was something he wanted to say but couldn't say, he suddenly took out a knife and stabbed it into my chest, blood flowed out, but I didn't feel the pain, and then Zhang Wei also disappeared, Zhao Rongzhen is still following behind him, I want to call him, but I can't say anything..."

Comet recalled last night's dream, and with a little bit of narration, the dream seemed to become clear again. Meng Qinghuan patted him on the shoulder, signaling him not to talk any more. Such a dream is really not suitable for recalling.

"Your Highness, since you and the general have decided to go on together in the future, even if you want to betray some people, that is your choice, isn't it? If this is the case, you must live well, and those who have passed away must take good care of you in your heart." For storage and sacrifice, the living should also pray carefully in their hearts, and pray that they should live well and live freely in places where you can't see, okay?" Meng Qinghuan's words seem to make sense, but it doesn't seem to be the case, Comet Sitting up, he frowned slightly, and then calmed down in relief.

"You are also in a place where the emperor can't see, are you praying that he can live well and live as he pleases?"

Speaking of Han Qing, Meng Qinghuan was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Comet to mention Han Qing, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, Meng Qinghuan bit his lip, "...Yes, the emperor is the foundation of our country, all I can do is Pray for him." A distressed smile appeared on Meng Qinghuan's lips.

"Can't I go back to the palace again? Brother Huang has another headache, and only you can cure him..." Meng Qinghuan shook his head before Comet could finish speaking.

"I have already promised the abbot that I will stay in the temple forever. This time I have violated the abbot's intention. I will go back after the general recovers..."

Comet didn't want to look at Meng Qinghuan with a pitiful smile anymore, so he lay down again, closed his eyes, and Meng Qinghuan began to massage Comet's head again.

No matter who it is, this kind of love can see the beginning from the beginning, but can't see the end of the road, and no one knows what will be waiting at the end of the road.

Perhaps Han Qing and Meng Qinghuan's journey has come to an end, or there may be other possibilities.

Who knows?

Three days later, after dinner, Zhao Rongzhen, Zhongyi and other generals were discussing the matter of going to war the day after tomorrow. They had already issued a letter of war to Chen Yuan. The soldiers kept coming, and it was time for Comet to help with bandaging.

It was not until late at night that Zhao Rongzhen ended the battle meeting, which was also the last meeting before the battle. When he returned to Comet’s military tent, he saw Comet sitting on the couch, reading a book by a dim candle, and didn’t notice him coming in. Zhao Rongzhen walked lightly to Comet's side, the candlelight danced a few times, only then did he see that Zhao Rongzhen had returned.

"What book are you reading?" Zhao Rongzhen moved the table and sat next to Comet. Comet closed the book and showed Zhao Rongzhen the cover of the book, "Why do you want to read "Sun Tzu's Art of War?" Zhao Rongzhen was surprised that Comet was reading a military book.

"Idle is idle, and I want to know more about the battlefield." Comet put the book on the table, stretched out his numb legs, yawned, rubbed his dry eyes, "sleep Let's go." Comet got off the couch, sucked on his shoes, and Zhao Rongzhen kept watching the series of actions without leaving Comet, when Comet stood up and looked at Zhao Rongzhen, he noticed Zhao Rongzhen's eyes looking at him, "What's the matter?" Is it?" Comet looked at himself, and there seemed to be nothing wrong.

Zhao Rongzhen just felt that such peace hadn't appeared on Comet's face for a long time, and Comet who couldn't feel at ease because of killing someone three days ago was gone.

Such a comet reminded Zhao Rongzhen of the time when he had just healed his leg injury in the palace. At that time, the two lived the most ordinary and happiest days. It would be great if such days could come again.

But Zhao Rongzhen knew clearly that neither of them could forget their parents and Zhang Wei. Even if such a day would come one day, it seemed that they would not be able to return to the original calmness and peace.

"...No, I just want to say that I will end this war as soon as possible, and then we will find a place where no one knows us and live together, just the two of us."

Comet lowered his eyebrows, with a faint smile on his lips, he didn't say anything, just nodded.

The day the war ends, both men are waiting.

When Comet and Zhao Rongzhen were just laying down to rest, Zhongyi's voice came from outside the military tent, "General Zhao, can you come out for a while?" Zhongyi's voice sounded deep and urgent, Zhao Rongzhen sat up and got out of bed, put on his clothes A coat came out of the military tent.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Rongzhen saw that Zhongyi hadn't even changed his clothes, and was still holding a one-foot-long cowhide scroll in his hand.

"The brother who was guarding the door just now said that there was a black shadow, so he left this and left." Zhongyi held up the scroll in front of Zhao Rongzhen, Zhao Rongzhen was stunned for a moment.

"Go and have a look."

Zhao Rongzhen and Zhongyi went back to the general tent, Zhongyi spread the scroll on the table, Zhao Rongzhen took two candlesticks and put them on both sides of the scroll, it turned out that there was a map drawn on the scroll, with their barracks on it, and another The military camp, connecting the two military camps is a slightly intricate road.

"The map to Jin Guo's barracks!" The two understood it almost at the same time. After looking at each other for a while, they said what they thought, and what they said was verbatim.

"Did no one see the face of the person coming?" Zhao Rong really felt that this was too strange.

Is this the "fat meat" offered, or is it Jin Guo's conspiracy?

"No one can see clearly, it's too dark, and that person is still wearing night clothes, covering his face." Zhongyi shook his head regretfully, "If this map is real and sent by the enemy, is there any conspiracy?" Zhongyi and Zhao Rongzhen thought of it together, Zhao Rongzhen shook his head without a clue.

Zhao Rongzhen carefully studied the map again. From the geographical point of view, [-]% of the places marked with the enemy barracks on the map are real. The road leading to the barracks is also feasible, but they are not big roads, they are all covered with woods and forests. If the small roads in the mountains are a conspiracy, it is very easy to arrange ambushes on these remote narrow roads. On the eve of the battle after the Jin Kingdom has sneaked twice, the sudden arrival of this map is a strange thing.

Just as Zhao Rongzhen was looking at the map and contemplating, he looked at the words "Golden Camp" and "Basic Camp" on the map more and more familiar, and finally, only two words came to Zhao Rongzhen's mind - Zhang Wei, and then more Puzzled.

If this map was drawn by Zhang Wei, why would he know the location of Jin Ying?Reminiscing about the surprise attack on his military camp, Zhao Rongzhen couldn't believe his speculation that Zhang Wei had become a traitor to the country.

Is it Zhang Wei who came to deliver the map?Or was he the one who drew the map, and someone else sent it?

However, it doesn't matter who sent the map, but one thing is certain—the map should be drawn by Zhang Wei.

Looking at Zhao Rongzhen's sudden change of expression, Zhongyi thought that Zhao Rongzhen was really uncomfortable, so he moved a stool to make him sit down, but Zhao Rongzhen pushed the map to the ground, and then threw a candlestick on the map, "General!" Zhongyi wanted to put the map on the ground. He picked it up, but was stopped by Zhao Rongzhen, Zhongyi could only watch the map turn into ashes, "General, why? This map may be real..."

"You also want to follow their sneak attack?" Zhao Rongzhen looked at Zhongyi coldly, Zhongyi looked at Zhao Rongzhen with a little fear, and shook his head.

"We can at least study the offensive line..."

"This map is real, but I don't know how to use it. If I fight it openly, I don't believe I can't win! There may be some conspiracy here!"

Zhao Rongzhen snorted coldly. The doctor was about to walk out of the military tent, and stopped when he reached the door, "Don't mention this map to anyone, even the comet... and tell the brother who picked up the map to keep quiet, if you are worried , just give him a sum of money to let him go home, and pretend that this incident never happened..."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Rongzhen left the military tent, Zhongyi could only sigh helplessly at the map that had turned into ashes on the ground, it was probably Zhao Rongzhen who erupted because the enemy army underestimated his strength.

Zhao Rongzhen, who walked out of the military tent, had inexplicable palpitations, and he held his chest for a while before he recovered. In order not to let others see, Zhao Rongzhen walked to Comet's military tent as soon as possible, and he felt at ease when he lay on the bed.

Comet has fallen asleep due to sleepiness, Zhao Rongzhen gradually sees Comet’s peaceful sleeping face clearly through the silver moonlight, the frown that would occasionally frown will soon return to calm, and the not-so-thick lips will slightly curl up, Zhao Rongzhen can’t help but smile.

But thinking about Zhang Wei's treason, Zhao Rongzhen couldn't let it go, even if it was because of the death of his parents, and the unacceptable relationship between himself and Comet, Zhang Wei would not be decapitated for committing treason. It is even a matter of punishing the nine clans for a serious crime.

Zhao Rong really couldn't figure it out, so much so that he couldn't figure it out all night. When it was dawn, he felt a little sleepy. There was already the sound of people walking outside the military tent. Zhao Rong really didn't sleep anymore. He got up lightly, put on his clothes and walked out Army account.

When Comet woke up, there was no Zhao Rongzhen in the barracks, and he found out after asking Zhongyi. After breakfast, Zhao Rongzhen left the barracks with Baoqin and did not say what he was going to do. Comet was a little worried. It's better not to leave the barracks casually.

As a result, Zhao Rongzhen and Baoqin didn't come back until before dinner.

"What are you doing? I haven't seen anyone all day." During dinner, Comet asked.

"After dinner, pack up your things and leave here with me, Zhongyi too." Zhao Rongzhen paused for a moment, then continued to eat with his head down, Comet and Zhongyi were taken aback, and looked at each other.

"Is there no more war?" Zhongyi asked tentatively, but the answer was immediately denied by himself.

"Fight, but you leave here. I found a house for you in a relatively secluded place in the mountains. The conditions are a bit rough, but it can accommodate people. You make it for a while, and I will send someone to go there after the wind of the war is over. Pick you up...Mr. Meng can also leave here tomorrow, I will have a military doctor for my injury, and I will send someone to escort you back tomorrow." Zhao Rongzhen finished the last bit of food, put the bowl on the table, and looked at his colleagues calmly. The other three people who were surprised at the table finally stopped their eyes on Comet.

Meng Qinghuan and Zhongyi also held their breaths looking at Comet who put down the bowls and chopsticks and lowered his eyes. Zhao Rongzhen was about to explain something, but Comet stood up, "Come out." After leaving only three short words calmly, Comet turned and left Zhao Rongzhen had no choice but to go out with him.

The two returned to Comet's military tent, Comet who went in first sat on the couch, still lowered his eyes, not looking at Zhao Rongzhen standing in front of him.

"Reason." Comet's voice was still calm, without any waves.

"...It's not that you are not allowed to come back, but I want you to hide in the mountains for a while, and then come back when it is safer..." Zhao Rongzhen explained again that he didn't want Comet to leave completely.

"Why should I hide? Could it be that they can still come to the barracks?" Comet finally raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Rongzhen questioningly, "Even if they will come to the barracks, I have even killed people, I will still be afraid What?" Comet didn't like that Zhao Rongzhen put him in a protected position, and instead, Comet lost again, "No... I have something to be afraid of... I have..." I'm afraid that even if I die, I won't be able to follow him you together.

Zhao Rongzhen looked sadly at Comet who lowered his eyes again due to loss. He walked slowly to Comet, squatted down, and looked up at the person in front of him slightly. He was not afraid that Chen Yuan's army would rush into the barracks, but that If Zhang Wei came back suddenly, everyone in the barracks would not defend Zhang Wei, including Comet. Zhao Rongzhen was just afraid that Zhang Wei would be unfavorable to Comet.

Zhao Rong really thought that if Zhang Wei could do treasonous things, there was nothing he couldn't do.

For this, Zhao Rongzhen felt more sorry and distressed for Zhang Wei. He admitted that since he was with Comet again, he did ignore Zhang Wei's thoughts intentionally or unintentionally, even though Zhang Wei said that if Comet didn't leave, he would Zhao Rongzhen didn't take it too seriously because he didn't think Zhang Wei would really leave.

He is taking advantage of Zhang Wei's soft heart towards him...

Zhao Rong really didn't want Comet to know about Zhang Wei's betrayal, and there were many elements that wanted to "protect" Zhang Wei. He just wanted to end this war as soon as possible. With him, this issue will be discussed further.

At present, Zhao Rongzhen just doesn't want Comet to know Zhang Wei's current state.

Let Comet leave temporarily, in addition to protecting him, there is also a motive to let Zhang Wei and Comet not meet for the time being.

But Zhao Rongzhen didn't expect Comet to raise his head and give him a smile, "Don't be afraid, although I can't fight with you on the battlefield, I will wait for you and Zhongyi to come back in the barracks, you don't need my bandage Master'? Besides, you don't need the lieutenant general Zhongyi? Although his experience on the battlefield is not as rich as that of you and Zhang Wei, he is already improving, isn't he?" Comet said this, Zhao Rongzhen was suddenly speechless, unable to let Comet Then leave, "As for the house you were looking for in the mountains...let's keep it for now. After this battle is over, we will go there to live in seclusion and spend the rest of our lives there, okay?"

Zhao Rongzhen didn't nod or shake his head, but the final result of the two people's discussion was that Hui Xing and Zhongyi both stayed, but Meng Qinghuan, who had nothing to do with this place, wanted to leave.

After all, Meng Qinghuan was invited by Comet to help Zhao Rongzhen heal his illness, and had nothing to do with this war.

Although Meng Qinghuan didn't want to leave for the time being because Zhao Rongzhen's injury hadn't completely healed yet, the attitude of Zhao Rongzhen and Comet forced Meng Qinghuan to leave. He knew that they wanted to protect his own safety.

The next day, Meng Qinghuan got up early and got some extra ointment for Zhao Rongzhen to apply on his back. If he didn't get hurt again, it would be enough for the injury to heal.In the afternoon, Meng Qinghuan was ready to leave. Zhao Rongzhen asked Zhongyi to escort Meng Qinghuan out of the war zone, but he didn't let Comet follow him. The battle was imminent, and what "actions" the enemy would have if they couldn't keep them together. If Zhang Wei would show up, I don't know it was a good omen. Still a bad omen.

The wheels of the carriage bumped and moved forward at a constant speed on the uneven mountain road. In order to prevent the enemy from acting rashly, Zhongyi chose a small road.Meng Qinghuan, who was originally sitting in the carriage, felt a little bored, so she got out of the carriage and sat with Zhongyi, who was driving the carriage.

"Why don't you sit in the car, sir?"

"It's a bit boring."

Looking at the fallen woods, the way home was approaching, but Meng Qinghuan didn't want to go back to the temple. On the contrary, after hearing what Comet said about Han Qing's situation, he went back to the palace again. Consider again.

"Can't sir go back to the palace to help the emperor see a doctor?" After a moment of silence, Zhongyi saw that Meng Qinghuan was thoughtful, but he didn't seem to think about anything, so he asked tentatively, but Meng Qinghuan let out a "chuck" in return. laugh.

"Sure enough, as long as there is a master, there will be a follower." Zhongyi looked at Meng Qinghuan incomprehensibly, "His Royal Highness once said the same thing to me... The emperor's illness can be cured by himself. I don't need to treat it. I can also heal it." No, if I go back again, I should still leave again, and the emperor's illness will still recur, do you understand?" Meng Qinghuan looked at Zhongyi with a different meaning, although he was speaking to Zhongyi, it was also to his heart Said in a shaking heart.

Zhongyi smiled helplessly, looked away, and kept looking at the road ahead.

Zhongyi didn't stop until it was in the war zone. It was already dark, "I'm entering the town not far ahead. Sir, I can stay overnight and then go on my way. Zhongyi can only send you here. Take care, and thank you for coming."

Meng Qinghuan smiled shyly, "Although I didn't bring you any trouble, it is my wish to do something for His Highness and the general within my power. After all..." Meng Qinghuan grinned sadly, "Young master, go back Go ahead, help me tell His Highness and the general to take care of themselves, and the young master too, swords are ruthless and people are merciful, and I hope His Highness and the general can walk on the path they want to go."

Meng Qinghuan and Zhongyi leaned towards each other, and Meng Qinghuan turned and left. Zhongyi looked at Meng Qinghuan's receding back, and felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart. From now on, no matter how much pain any of them had, this person He can't be invited back anymore. He was dragged into his own life by them for no reason, and then faded out of their life after his whole body was full of pain. Maybe they still have a chance to heal each other, but this person can only Hide in your own world and die alone...

Meng Qinghuan took the three-day journey home a long way, and finally stood in front of the temple gate five days later. In fact, during the five days, Meng Qinghuan struggled whether to go back to the temple, because this time, it might not be possible. Will come out again, although I have warned myself that my life should not be involved in Han Qing's world, but Meng Qinghuan is still in conflict along the way, and life in the palace is flashing before his eyes.

Happiness, pain, there are.

It was only when standing in front of the temple gate that Meng Qinghuan felt that he had returned to the real world. Looking at the closed gate, Meng Qinghuan raised his hand in midair, hesitating whether to knock on it.

After what seemed like a century, the hand held up in mid-air finally moved, and that hand finally knocked on the temple door, making a "dong dong dong" sound. The future beckoned, someone inside answered the door, the door opened, Meng Qinghuan looked down at the threshold, hesitated for a moment, finally raised one foot and stepped in, followed by the other, Meng Qinghuan who walked into the door turned around and slowly closed it. door to door.

When Meng Qinghuan closed that door, he also shut out his past and future...

From then on, the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys outside that door, calm and ups and downs, have nothing to do with him anymore.
