Capture

Like his whole life.

Did not leave, did not go out of the mountain.He said that he will not go back, he said that he is no longer the king of the underground palace, then he will not regret it.

The dispatched Wuzai returned to the mountains the second week after Linshui left, and when he heard about the Yanyan incident and his own decision, Xihua turned his head fiercely with his violent punch.

"coward."

The angry accusation did not make Xihua angry.He just calmly wiped away the blood from his lips, and then looked at Wu indifferently until the other party hurriedly left from his eyes.

He doesn't blame Wu, nor does he retort.In his eyes, Wu is also a poor person.The same emotion, different people, naturally express different emotions.

For Wu, the word "coward" contained too much.What's more, it's not cursing, it's just being unfair and sour towards myself.Strangely, he could understand Wu's mood.You can also know why Wu would say this sentence.

At the beginning, the underground palace without return was just a message.However, the content of the letter is not ignorant.The reason why he trusts is that Wu Qian went... to hand over the edict of abdication to Ji Fan.

Without knowing it, he indirectly became his own helper.Knowing the truth, Ji Fan and the Tai Tuo will certainly not make things easier for Wu.He only promised himself to keep it a secret, and promised himself to stay with Linshui together, so he tried every means, even went back to the mountain without telling the teacher he had always admired.But he didn't know that in his absence, Linshui had already left.

However, I believe Wu can understand that if I change places, Wu's decision must be the same as myself.

"Here's the reply."

Wu who turned back suddenly appeared in front of Xihua, and handed over the letterhead in his arms to Xihua.

"I don't know anything about Shiyan and Master. But Master asked me to give you this letter."

Is it a letter from the Taifu to himself?

As soon as Xihua took the letter, she disappeared again.

Opening the letter paper, there were only a few numbers inside, but Xihua's expression softened because of the letter.It seems to bring emotional fluctuations, no longer flat and indifferent.

That's right, if even the Grand Tutor knew about Linshui's departure, he told himself not to worry.Then the geese will surely keep their promises.

Also in the palace, although it was announced that the throne would be handed over to Ji Fan, but I believe that other than himself, other ministers, even Ji Fan himself would not agree.But as long as Master Zixuan is around, everything will go on.

Now, after this long wait, I can finally feel a little relieved.

Looking up at the twilight sky, in this remote and quiet mountain, the setting sun reflected the entire mountain red.On the cliff, it is the best place to watch the sunset.

Sighing silently, I only hope that the person who left will return soon, no matter the result... I will wait and wait.

It's useless to miss you straight

May it be melancholy is madness

Linshui, Linshui... I kept calling this name in my heart, as if it hurt my heart every time.However, I can't stop, I can't stop thinking about it, and I can't calm down the ups and downs.

lovesickness, no more than this

My heart ached like a sickness, and I still have no regrets...

No.70 Chapter [-] Finale

The sun rises and sets, and the stars are vast.

Day after day, my heart is also cold.

March, to everyone, is just a blink of an eye, but to Gong Xihua, who is waiting alone in the mountains, it is a long time that makes people look forward to and wait in solitude.

Even Wu was driven away by himself.For Xihua, he has no obligation to stay by his side.The person he wants to swear allegiance to is not himself.The person I want to be by my side has nothing but Linshui.So... no need for sympathy and pity.

Perhaps I was very lucky to get a clear answer, and the curtain ended before it even started.From the moment he became nothing, he had another path, a reason to stay by Linshui's side for the rest of his life with righteous words.

Stand against the wind and depend on each other by the water.

This inner lake in the mountains was found when Xihua was walking alone after Linshui left.The lakeside scenery blends with the mountain scenery, coupled with the oncoming cool wind, accompanied by the evening sun, the glow is infinitely good.

However, in the silent mountain forest, there are only occasional unknown birdsong, which makes those who stand silently feel a sense of desolation.

Today is the last day, the deadline for the March Covenant.However, the person he was waiting for still did not appear.

I don't know what it feels like in my heart, but at this moment, I am unexpectedly calm and self-sufficient.In the past days, I went to the mountain pass to look around, and I was used to looking at it from a high place.Unknowingly, the anxiety changed, and he chose to wait and listen quietly by the lake.

Linshui, Linshui... surrounded by mountains and rivers.And this scenery is just like the hidden meaning in his name.Only by waiting here can Gong Xihua's heart be at peace.

The afterglow of the setting sun illuminated the entire mountain, and the red light of the sunset dyed the clothes of the people by the lake red.He leaned close to the lake and squatted down slowly, looking at the calm lake surface, a blurry silhouette was reflected.

After being silent for only a moment, he suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped the lake surface violently, disturbing the calm lake surface.The wet hands clenched vigorously until the water surface was full of blood.

All the superficial calmness collapsed at this moment.

"Ziyan...I'm going to kill you!"

He lied to himself, Linshui didn't come back, didn't come back!His Linshui!

Standing up suddenly, the killing intent spread wantonly in this peaceful place, scaring away a group of birds resting on the tree.

He wants to leave here, he wants to find Yanyan, and he wants to kill the man who lied to him.

I remember that when I found this place half a year ago, it took more than a day for the town closest to this distant mountain.However, Xihua actually only took half a day to get there from the mountain to the town.

He wanted to inquire about some news, so he stepped into the wine shop.Ignoring the strange gazes around her, she ordered a jug of sake, drank quietly and listened.

Gradually, some drinkers began to chat among themselves.It seemed that the disturbance caused by the man wearing the bamboo hat just now was fleeting.

"If you want to talk about the biggest thing right now, it's none other than Zhenwu Xinjun's marriage."

"Not bad, not bad. Speaking of the marriage between Zhenwu and the underground palace, it is really amazing. I heard that Zhenwu Xinjun and the underground palace are quite related."

One person said this, lowering his voice pretending to be mysterious.

"Oh? What's the origin? Brother Lin, can you tell me about it?"

"It is said that the new emperor of Zhenwu looks quite similar to the first general of the underground palace in the past. It turns out that he is the brother of General Shen Yanfeng. After the death of General Shen, Zhenwu Kingdom suddenly had a coup. Changed the atmosphere of corruption in Zhenwu’s internal affairs, eliminated many corrupt officials, and won the support, trust and loyalty of the people and a group of courtiers.”

"Then it seems that Zhenwu Xinjun is really capable."

"That's natural. This time, the marriage with the underground palace was also planned by him alone, and Yanyan went to discuss it. If this is successful, then the merger of the two great powers, Zhenwu and the underground palace, will definitely join forces to consolidate the country. I am afraid that we are so attached to the two. The small country of the country does not need to worry about the disaster of war."

"Exactly. However, although this marriage between a man and a man is not unprecedented, it is the first time for an emperor to marry in public. The King of Zhenwu really does not avoid suspicion, and the new national teacher of the underground palace is no different."

"Hahaha, isn't that right. The national teacher is also a weird person. When he first succeeded, he went to fight for the border between the two countries in the Zhenwu Digong, but disappeared afterwards. I didn't expect to appear again a month ago, and the news came out not long after."

"Hehe, the matter of the superior is never to be blamed. Look at the sudden change of position of the monarch of the underground palace, isn't it just another thing?"

"It's true..."

"Touch." One sound.The increasingly noisy conversation of the crowd disappeared suddenly, and the restaurant suddenly fell into silence.They followed the sound and saw that the table in the corner was already empty, only the overturned wine jug, the broken porcelain cup and the liquor spilled all over the floor.

It turned out that it wasn't breaking the agreement, it wasn't that the geese were lying to each other... It's just that there was only one person in that person's heart from beginning to end.

My waiting seemed to be the biggest joke in the world, but what made me feel even more ridiculous was that even at that moment just now, I still didn't have the heart to hate.

Why can the word love change people to this point? Is she really still the same Gong Xihua?Giving up power, status, and ambition, but now what he got in return is such abjection.

But how could he regret it, and he had no intention of regretting it.This is what really made Gong Xihua feel desperate.

Just let it go?Said not to let go, said to be together.But what if he chased him by himself?I am no longer the monarch of the underground palace, no longer the monarch of a country who holds the world in his hands, no longer rich, and perhaps no longer able to give that person everything he wants...

No, what was I thinking...Isn't he the clearest about what that person wants?All he wanted was to be with Shen Yanfeng.

After closing her eyes heavily, and then opening them again, Gong Xihua's eyes had her own decision.

Resolutely turned around, thinking about the way back when I came.

He once thought that one day he would be able to share the world with Linshui, but he found that Linshui only wanted peace.

He once used his power to rob and plunder in every possible way, but in the end he forced himself into a dilemma.

He once tried to save a piece of his own feelings, but only now did he realize that all the turning backs have been lost.

That being the case, the last thing the current self can do... It seems that there is no other choice but to quit.

Not reconciled, so unwilling... But I can only remain like this... Silently waiting, in that silent mountain forest.

As the sun and the moon change, he will stay there, waiting for maybe one day... that person will come back here, and he will remember that in his life, there was another
