you are my tomorrow

"General... General, Chen Yuan has brought a team here."

"What?!" Zhao Rongzhen stood up abruptly, and Baoqin who was standing next to him was also shocked. Although the other party would send people to sneak attack at night, it was in broad daylight, and Chen Yuan never brought people here. appeared.

"Young master..." Baoqin looked at Zhao Rongzhen with a little fear, Zhao Rongzhen thought about it, stepped over to the side of the bookshelf, and took down the top row of books that had never been touched, Baoqin was surprised to find these things The book is a row of books from the outside, but after taking it off, the book box is empty, and there are a dozen large banknotes inside. Zhao Rongzhen took out the banknotes, kept two for himself, and stuffed the rest in the In Baoqin's arms, he took off the tiger skin that had been hanging on the wall and put it on Baoqin.

"Let's go from the back, don't come back." Zhao Rongzhen said in a low voice, then took up his saber and wanted to go out, but was held back by Baoqin.

"Eldest young master, why don't you drive me away? They might just come here to show off their might, so why do you..."

"If I tell you to go, go quickly, don't be a mother-in-law, if I come back and see you here, be careful, I will cut you off." Zhao Rongzhen raised the sword in his hand, Baoqin lowered his head and thought for a while, then knelt down in front of Zhao Rongzhen with a plop , Kowtowed to him, then left through the back door wearing a tiger skin.

Watching Baoqin leave, the hostility in Zhao Rongzhen's eyes just now disappeared, "Safe journey..."

Then Zhao Rongzhen took the sword and walked out of the general's tent.

As soon as he got out of the military tent, Zhao Rongzhen saw a guard standing outside with swords drawn, while Chen Yuan and a dozen masked attendants were sitting on horseback in the whole camp, looking like they had more than enough to spare, and they seemed to have no intention of coming down.

"What is General Chen Yuan doing? If you have something to do, just 'send' someone over to talk about it. Why did you come in person?" Zhao Rongzhen deliberately emphasized the word "in person", and Chen Yuan smiled, but seemed Can be cold to the bones.

"I didn't bring many people here, just a few of them, but your people seem to be going to fight at any time, why bother?" Chen Yuan pointed to his own people behind him, then jumped off his horse, and his followers dismounted one after another .

Zhao Rongzhen turned his head to look at the soldiers around him, the soldier said something in Zhao Rongzhen's ear, and then returned to his position, he said that Chen Yuan did bring these few people with him, and there was no one else, "Put down the swords , Is this the way to treat 'guests'? Everyone back down." Zhao Rongzhen desperately suppressed his anger, Zhao Rongzhen was already annoyed by Chen Yuan's visit like this, but Chen Yuan's laughing appearance made Zhao Rongzhen feel uncomfortable.The soldiers standing in front of Zhao Rongzhen all looked at him, but they didn't put down their weapons, "Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Zhao Rongzhen repeated it again, and then the soldiers put down their weapons and took a step back.

"I have nothing else to do here this time, I just want to give you something." Chen Yuan turned his head sideways, and an attendant standing behind stepped forward, handed over a pouch and something wrapped in silk, and listened to the words inside. The sound should be a sword. Chen Yuan took the purse and the sword and handed them to Zhao Rongzhen. Zhao Rongzhen looked down, looked up and looked at Chen Yuan. He didn't know what Chen Yuan was buying. take it.

Zhao Rongzhen opened the silk and satin, a sword appeared from inside, he looked at the scabbard, it looked familiar no matter how it looked, he suddenly remembered that it was the sword of loyalty, but how could the sword of loyalty be in Chen Yuan's hand?Zhao Rongzhen pulled out the sword, there was still blood stains on the sword, Zhao Rongzhen's expression suddenly changed, his hand seemed to be unable to hold something, the sword fell to the ground with a "bang", he opened the purse slightly tremblingly, and opened it from the inside. Taking out a piece of turquoise, his hands were instantly cold.

He will recognize this turquoise until he dies. How could he not recognize the turquoise that has been by his side for 18 years?

"...Why do you have these two things?" Zhao Rong really didn't dare to speculate, he was afraid that the result of his conjecture would make him unbelievable, and there was still a smile on Chen Yuan's face that was more than adequate.

"Yeah, why do I have these two things? It's too strange, isn't it?" As if he had expected Zhao Rongzhen to have such a reaction, Chen Yuan seemed to be chatting with a friend, "What a coincidence, five days ago, A few brothers and I wanted to go out for a 'walking', and happened to meet your fifth prince and his entourage, and we were recognized by them by 'unfortunately', although they said 'meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins', but they can only say yes The brave, but they didn't win. My brothers haven't made any moves yet, and they can't do it. Although we are two opposing sides, we still have a minimum of respect for the prince of the other side. I'll pick up their relics. I will return it to you, and I hope that you will be able to express your condolences..."

"The comet has never seen you before, so how could he recognize you? Zhongyi has only seen you from a distance, and never seen your face clearly. How can he know you?! What did you do to them?!" Zhao Rongzhen couldn't suppress the anger in his chest. He pulled up Chen Yuan's collar and looked at him fiercely. Zhao Rongzhen couldn't believe that what Chen Yuan said was true. Chen Yuan's followers saw that their master was being threatened. So he drew out his sword, but Chen Yuan raised his hand to stop them from coming, but Zhao Rongzhen didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes looking at him sadly at the back of those followers.

Chen Yuan looked impatient, but still looked like he had enough, thought about something "seriously", and then "suddenly realized", "Oh, I was so busy getting things that I forgot to tell my subordinates to bring the corpse back, Now... I'm afraid it has become the dinner of the wolf in the mountains."

"You..." There was a rush of rage, and the palpitations broke out untimely. He was unable to pull Chen Yuan's collar anymore, and knelt on the ground, holding the turquoise to his chest and panting heavily. Comet's death, what is this little pain of my own?

Chen Yuan looked at Zhao Rongzhen condescendingly, the smile on his face just now disappeared, and the soldiers who had just retreated back gathered around Zhao Rongzhen again, raising the weapons in their hands, but Chen Yuan didn't seem to see it, he turned his face sideways, " Zhang Wei, didn't you say you would be loyal to me in the future? Now is the time to show your loyalty, and I want you to kill Zhao Rongzhen."

Hearing Zhang Wei's name, Zhao Rongzhen raised his head abruptly, and a masked person walked out from among the attendants behind Chen Yuan. The person slowly took off the mask, and the face of the long-lost person slowly Appearing in front of his eyes, the man was looking down at him with compassion. The soldiers couldn't believe that it was their deputy general in front of them, and they all looked at each other.

"Brother...why didn't you come to save me...why...?" Zhang Wei knelt down, weeping weakly, his eyes were red, but the tears didn't fall for a long time, he looked at Zhao Rongzhen puzzled , but Zhao Rongzhen looked at him complicatedly.

"Save you? Why should I save you? How could I save a traitor? Even if I have done something wrong to you and my parents, even if you will betray me, you shouldn't betray our country... Besides, you don't He didn't ask me to save you either." Thinking of Zhang Wei's betrayal, Zhao Rongzhen felt his teeth itch with hatred, he never dreamed that his younger brother would betray his country.

"Didn't you read that map? I started drawing that map shortly after entering the Golden Camp..."

"Of course I read it, but on the day I got the map, I burned it because I didn't want to be as despicable as him." Zhao Rongzhen pointed at Chen Yuan, and Chen Yuan recalled what happened after Zhang Wei entered the Golden Camp. But he never asked him to draw any map for Zhao Rongzhen, he just wanted to know the location of the court army barracks, which was also one of the important reasons why Zhang Wei left him when he took refuge in him.

"What map did you draw for him?" Chen Yuan grabbed Zhang Wei by the collar, lifted him up, and looked at him fiercely, but Zhang Wei didn't seem to hear it, and just looked at Zhao Rongzhen in disappointment.

"No, it's not that you can't be as despicable as he is, and it's not that you can't save me. You only need to take a good look at the map, and you will know that I am asking for help. It's just that you can't see anything in your eyes, and you can't hold anything in your heart. , only His Royal Highness Comet is left..."

After listening to Zhang Wei's words, Zhao Rongzhen thought about the map carefully, and then suddenly realized that a part of the winding path in the middle of the map was drawn as the pronunciation of the first syllable of "Save me". Camp Road, and revealed the author's request.

However, it was too late for Zhao Rongzhen to apologize, because Zhang Wei had already pushed away Chen Yuan's hand, drew out the sword at his waist and stabbed at him, but the speed was not fast, Zhao Rongzhen easily dodged, he picked up the sword of loyalty beside him, the treasured sword Unsheathed, followed Zhang Wei's moves one by one.

During the fight between the two, Zhao Rongzhen felt that Zhang Wei's every sword was stabbing at his dead point, each move was getting closer and faster, as if he was desperate, but he started from Zhang Wei's attack again. Seeing unprecedented sadness and reluctance in his eyes, Zhao Rong really couldn't figure out what Zhang Wei was thinking.

He betrayed his country and defected to the enemy army, but gave them the map, and wanted to save him by himself, but now every move is a deadly trick, as if he has been forcing himself who has been unwilling to make a trick.

What happened to Zhang Wei?

Is there any reason why he can't say it?

Zhao Rongzhen was thinking about this, and lost his mind for a moment, Zhang Wei rushed towards him with his sword in hand, Zhao Rongzhen instinctively flashed, then turned around and stabbed Zhang Wei's left chest, which was only half an arm away from him, he thought Zhang Wei would take care of it He dodged as he should, but to his surprise, Zhang Wei did not dodge. Instead, he dropped the sword in his hand and faced Zhao Rongzhen's stabbing sword. When Zhao Rongzhen reacted, it was impossible to stop. It directly penetrated Zhang Wei's chest, and everyone who saw this scene seemed to gasp, including Chen Yuan.

But Zhao Rongzhen saw the innocent smile on Zhang Wei's face.

Seeing Zhang Wei spitting blood and slowly falling down in front of him, Zhao Rongzhen was stunned. He stood in place for a while, and his body froze instantly. He forgot to draw the sword that was still stabbing Zhang Wei's chest.Zhang Wei, who fell on the ground, seemed to be a little conscious. He pulled out the sword in front of his chest with all his strength, then pulled Zhao Rongzhen's trousers, breathing hard, and then Zhao Rongzhen knelt down beside Zhang Wei, raised his Holding his upper body in his arms, he desperately pressed the bleeding wound on his chest, but he couldn't stop the warm liquid from flowing out.

They passed through the palm of Zhao Rongzhen, turned into red lotus flowers, bloomed in Zhao Rongzhen's hands, and then withered immediately, they burned Zhao Rongzhen's hands like fire, making him feel so painful that he could only let his tears flow freely.

Zhang Wei moved his lips, Zhao Rongzhen put his ear close to Zhang Wei's lips, and his voice came to his ears in a breathless manner.

"Brother... I just... didn't want to get out of here alive... I know... I know that even if you don't kill me... they will kill me... I don't want to die by their hands... They will... ...would think...that I could even betray you...and definitely...will betray them..." Zhang Wei spat out a big mouthful of blood, and he held Zhang Wei's upper body lovingly, letting his blood get wet Zhang Wei took out a piece of blood-stained paper from his bosom tremblingly, and stuffed it quietly into Zhao Rongzhen's bosom, Zhao Rongzhen looked down calmly, "Brother...if... If there is a next life, you...you just stay with me, okay? Okay...just stay with me...just...the two of us..." Zhang Wei looked at Zhao Rongzhen with a smile, and slowly lost his breath, and Zhao Rongzhen responded After a while, it seemed that only now did he understand the meaning of Zhang Wei's last sentence.

Just stay with me, just the two of us.

Zhang Wei's smile wanted the blood spat out from his mouth to slowly expand into a bright red flower, carved into a scar in Zhao Rongzhen's heart, which would never heal until death...

"Xiaowei...Xiaowei..." Zhao Rongzhen whispered his name in Zhang Wei's ear, his voice trembling, but the person in his arms could never respond to him.

He lost Comet and Zhang Wei forever.

The person in his arms couldn't respond to Zhao Rongzhen, Zhao Rongzhen didn't call anymore, he put Zhang Weiping on the ground, gently stroked Zhang Wei's slightly opened eyes with the palm of his hand, after the hand left, Zhang Wei's eyes closed, Zhao Rongzhen ignored him again Li Zhangwei's slightly messy forehead hair, wiped off the blood stains at the corners of Zhang Wei's mouth with his own skirt, tidied up Zhang Wei's blood-soaked skirt, and finally put his hands on both sides of his body.

Everyone looked at Zhao Rongzhen, but they all felt that he was terribly calm.

And after this series of actions, Zhao Rongzhen's face was ashen, and his eyes were still a pool of stagnant water. Only when he looked at Zhang Wei for the last time, did he reveal the love and reluctance only for his relatives.

Zhao Rongzhen stood up, picked up the sword of loyalty, took out the bag that Comet gave him in his arms, put the turquoise in it well, put it back in his arms, and then came to Chen Yuan who was still surprised .

"...I have nothing left. There are only a few soldiers left. I just hope that you can let them go. I can go with you. If you want to kill or cut, I will do whatever you want. I just let my brother stay Here, this is his final destination, if you want to kill me, throw my body in the same place as Comet, don't let him be too lonely..."

"General! You can't go! If you go, you will die!" A general who has followed Zhao Rongzhen since he started training recruits passed through the crowd, came to Zhao Rongzhen, pulled his sleeve, and motioned him not to leave, but Zhao Rongzhen said lightly. Laughed.

Zhao Rongzhen took out the two banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them into the general's hands, "Here are 2000 taels of banknotes. After cashing them out, I'll share them with my brothers, and then they'll be scattered, but I'd still trouble you to take the banknotes." Wei was settled, and then left a note in the general's tent, telling me where he was buried. If I can come back, I will go to him... Also, tell the emperor, I have no face to see him, let He just pretended he didn't know me...thank you."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Rongzhen smiled brightly, as if he had let go of everything, that smile was like Zhao Rongzhen's proud and confident smile when he just arrived at the boot camp.

However, after that, the general never saw Zhao Rongzhen again.

After Zhao Rongzhen was taken away by Chen Yuan, Baoqin walked out of the general's tent with red eyes and wearing a tiger skin, but he never left. If Zhao Rongzhen didn't let Zhao Rongzhen watch him leave, Zhao Rongzhen would keep pushing him away.

Baoqin knelt beside Zhang Wei, covered Zhang Wei with the tiger skin, and then kowtowed three times to Zhang Wei, tears streaming down his face, and kept saying "Second Young Master" in his mouth. After kowtowing, Baoqin stood up, and he drew a sketch for the general. The sketch was found by Zhao Rongzhen and him before. It was originally a house for Comet to live in. He said that Zhang Wei could be buried nearby, and then he gave it to him from Zhao Rongzhen. He pulled out two of the bank notes to give to the general, he was just afraid that Zhao Rongzhen didn't give enough money.

Afterwards, Baoqin rode on his horse and went after Zhao Rongzhen, who was still not far away. He said that he was Zhao Rongzhen's follower, and as long as Zhao Rongzhen was still alive, he would follow wherever he went.

Baoqin watched Chen Yuan and the others walk eastward after leaving the barracks. Baoqin also walked eastward along the mountain road. , Baoqin got off his horse, and followed him evasively.

When they got closer, Baoqin could see clearly that Chen Yuan and his followers were all riding on horseback. Only Zhao Rongzhen was tied with a rope and followed in the middle of the team, and the rope stretched all the way to Chen Yuan's reins. When the team walked slowly, Zhao Rongzhen could still follow slowly; if the team walked faster, Zhao Rongzhen had to trot to follow.

Seeing this scene, Baoqin couldn't help blushing.

His proud master followed behind his opponent like a dog, but Zhao Rongzhen followed silently as if he didn't want to resist.

Perhaps, that person's heart is already dead, and what follows is only his body.

In the evening, Chen Yuan and his entourage arrived at the base camp of the Kingdom of Jin. It was already dark, and some torches had been lit in the barracks. When the gatekeeper saw Chen Yuan coming back, he hurried over. The gatekeeper ordered a few words, then pointed to the back

Zhao Rongzhen, the gatekeeper looked at Zhao Rongzhen, then nodded, untied Zhao Rongzhen's rope from the rein, tied up Zhao Rongzhen with that rope, and led him into the barracks.

Chen Yuan looked at Zhao Rongzhen's leaving back for a long time before he walked into the barracks with other followers. There was no joy after victory on his face, but a dignified one.

Baoqin hid behind a bush outside the barracks, watching the changes in the barracks.

When it was completely dark, the barracks were completely lit with torches. The people inside surrounded the tables and placed them in the open space in the middle of the barracks. They brought out food and wine, and everyone had triumphant smiles on their faces. , Some people took out musical instruments and beat gongs and drums in the open space.

What a celebratory atmosphere!

Not long after the celebration banquet started, Zhao Rongzhen, who was still tied up, was pushed into the middle of the open space. He lowered his head and stood there motionless. Then some people came up to push and jostle, and he staggered along with the push At this moment, Chen Yuan was pushed out by the crowd and "placed" on the highest chair, but he was not like those smiling people, his face was always expressionless.

Seeing Chen Yuan coming out, those who pushed Zhao Rongzhen stopped pushing and rushed towards Chen Yuan. Because of the unstable center of gravity, Zhao Rongzhen fell to the ground. Instead of standing up, he lay on the ground in the fallen position. , curled up his legs, and turned his back to Chen Yuan.

Someone brought Chen Yuan a bowl of wine, and before anyone could offer him a respect, he took up the bowl and drank it down in one gulp. After drinking a bowl like this, he kept staring at Zhao Rongzhen, as if he was going to make a hole in him. Several people around Zhao Rongzhen saw that Chen Yuan had been looking at Zhao Rongzhen, and after drinking some wine, He raised his foot and kicked Zhao Rongzhen. Zhao Rongzhen didn't struggle, but because his hands were tied, he could only try his best to bury them in front of his chest.

Baoqin, who had been in the bushes, saw what was going on inside, and wanted to go in and jump on Zhao Rongzhen to help him block those punches, but he also knew that the purpose of following him was to rescue Zhao Rongzhen, and now was not the time. So Baoqin could only hold his hands tightly and endure.

Seeing someone beating Zhao Rongzhen, Chen Yuan immediately threw the bowl in his hand at the people around Zhao Rongzhen, and the bowl finally hit a person's head. Immediately, the people who kicked Zhao Rongzhen stopped immediately, and the people who beat gongs and drums also stopped. Stopped, the people who were celebrating were also quiet, the only sound in the barracks was the wind and the wind blowing torches.

Zhao Rongzhen still fell to the ground in a curled up position, motionless, with some scars on his face, his eyes half-opened, looking at the ground without focus.

"Who told you to do it?" Chen Yuan's low voice sounded, and the soldiers below lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound. He slowly stood up from the chair, walked down the steps, and stopped when passing by a soldier beside him , the soldier buried his face even lower, but Chen Yuan didn't look at him, he just pulled out the sword from the soldier's waist, and then slowly walked towards Zhao Rongzhen whose back was facing him, Bao Qinxin in the bush raised his throat , looked at Chen Yuan nervously.

Walking behind Zhao Rongzhen, Chen Yuan lowered his head and looked at Zhao Rongzhen quietly.

"If you want to do it, I should do it..." Ren Qiang's dying appearance appeared in front of Chen Yuan's eyes again. How much perseverance did he use to hold on until he came? When he came, he handed that piece of jade into his hands Shangcai was relieved to "go on the road", "I will not let Ren Qiang go so simply like you, I will send you 'on the road' a little bit, a little bit..." Chen Yuan just finished speaking, the sword in his hand Just moved to the top of Zhao Rongzhen's right foot, and seemed to lift it lightly, Zhao Rongzhen's body twitched heavily, blood gushed from the ankle of his right foot, Zhao Rongzhen curled up even more, and covered the ankle with his right hand, but even though he was heartbroken The ground pain, Zhao Rongzhen didn't groan, just held his breath and endured it desperately, until the pain was numb, and his forehead was sweating profusely.

Baoqin gasped, and wanted to cry out in surprise, but he covered his mouth in time and suppressed his voice, but his hands gradually became cold, so cold that he couldn't help shaking.

Chen Yuan threw the sword aside, turned around and walked towards the largest military tent behind him, "Pull it down." He stopped at the entrance of the military tent, gave an order, and then walked into the military tent.

A few soldiers hurriedly lifted Zhao Rongzhen, who had a painful expression on his face, and carried him to an unknown place.The others naturally lost the mood to celebrate, so they packed up and left.

The barracks, which had been bustling just now, suddenly became deserted, leaving only the torches lit up all over the courtyard.

I don't know if it's because of the coolness of the night, or because of something else, but Baoqin just feels his whole body trembling. After losing everything, will his master lose his only remaining life in the torture of the enemy?

After Chen Yuan returned to his military tent, he didn't feel that Zhao Rongzhen's surrender today and being able to catch Zhao Rongzhen brought him much happiness, but he felt even more lost. He is not a person who likes that kind of bloodthirsty happiness.

The belief that has always supported him and made him win this battle is just to catch Zhao Rongzhen and avenge Ren Qiang.

Now, he has caught Zhao Rongzhen, and he can also end Zhao Rongzhen's life with a single knife, but when he walked to Zhao Rongzhen with the sword, suddenly comet came to his mind to get the piece of turquoise look.

Perhaps, that piece of turquoise has some special meaning to the comet, just like the piece of jade they both had.

Chen Yuan took out Ren Qiang's piece of jade from his bosom, looked at it carefully before his eyes, and then fell into deep thought...

Zhao Rongzhen was sent to a simple prison built after the military camp. In the dark space, only the torch at the door was weakly burning. When he arrived at the real prison, a musty smell penetrated his nostrils, and humid air surrounded every room. An inch of exposed skin.

After being thrown heavily on the ground, the two soldiers who carried him and another soldier who came in with a torch walked out of the prison. The world was completely dark, and the wound on his ankle seemed to be still bleeding. He curled up his legs and touched A handful, excruciating pain, and warm liquid on the hand.

There was no quilt on the ground, only a thin layer of hay. As the night deepened, the temperature of the air dropped sharply, and the temperature in his body seemed to freeze as the blood from the wound coagulated. Zhao Rongzhen barely supported his body, In the dark, he drew some hay from the surrounding ground and gathered it under his body, then slowly lay down on his side, curling up his body, so as to preserve the little heat left in his body.

But Zhao Rong really didn't dare to close his eyes. When he closed them, he saw Zhang Wei's face before he died, and He Xixing had been looking at him from the car window before he left, so he could only open his eyes, but when he opened them, tears flowed I couldn't help but cry, not because of the wound that was still in pain, but because of the life of Zhang Wei, who ended with my own hands, and the life of Comet, who was sent away by myself.

As the tears flowed more and more, the small whimper at the beginning turned into a heart-wrenching cry. Zhao Rongzhen clutched his chest tightly. There was the turquoise left by the comet and the last letter left by Zhang Wei to him, crying As if there was no tomorrow.

But no matter how tight he was, the last two people in the world who made him feel sorry for him had already been sent away by himself.

Without them, Zhao Rongzhen really has no tomorrow.
