Dongyin

?Five days later, Duan Yu led his army to the outside of Liangcheng.Duan Hong issued a letter of battle, ready to attack the city.From time to time, counselors who are good at watching the sky come to advise, thinking that the situation is changing and there will be heavy rain in the near future.Duan Hong ordered the army to camp outside Liangcheng for preparation.

Within two days, the weather really changed.The sun is still the best when you get up early, but by noon the light has already faded.When Duan Hong was having lunch, the barracks was roaring with the wind, and the cool wind rushed in, almost blowing grass dregs into the rice bowl.Look at this momentum, there is indeed a heavy rain.

Duan Hong lost his appetite, so he ordered people to remove the food and prepare to take a nap.Unexpectedly, she just lay down on the mat, and someone said that she had come to see her.Duan Hong guessed that it was the envoy sent by Wei Ming to sue for peace, he was very impatient, before he finished listening, he threw the quilt over his head and fell asleep.

After this sleep, he slept until half the afternoon. Duan Hong woke up and drank two cups of herbal tea, sobering up a lot.It wasn't raining outside at that time, and there was still some sunshine, but the wind was much stronger. She was changing into a thicker robe when a gust of wind came in and blew the curtains away.

Duan Hong looked out of the camp subconsciously, and just saw a familiar figure, she was startled, and was about to take a closer look, but the tent rolled over and rested.

Duan Hong hurriedly pulled up the tent and went out, and sure enough, he saw Bai Yan standing beside a carriage in a light yellow dress, staring at her side with an unclear expression.Duan Hong felt pleasantly surprised, and flew over, only to see that she was looking at him with a smile on her face, "Yan'er, why are you here?"

"...the princess is waiting here at noon"

Only then did Duan Hong see that Bai Yan's temples were blown to pieces by the wind, but she didn't care much about it.He just fixed his eyes on her unbuttoned buttons, took a step forward, and said in a slightly doting tone, "Look at you, you came out without even putting on your clothes."

"Yan'er..." Duan Hong looked at her gentle appearance of lowering her head to tidy up her clothes, his heart felt hot, but he suddenly remembered what happened at noon, could it be that Bai Yan was the one here?He couldn't help changing his tone and said, "Yan'er, if you're interceding for your brother, then don't bother."

Bai Yan paused, her expression intact, but she replied Ruyi, "The princess is here to bring clothes to His Majesty."

Duan Hong still didn't believe it, she looked around and saw that apart from Ruyi, Bai Yan only brought a guard to drive the horse, so she didn't say anything else.

Seeing her doubts, Bai Yan was not angry, she just said to her, "Those clothes were made earlier, but I just didn't have a chance to give them to you. Now that we're starting a fight, there will be even fewer chances to see each other in the future."

This sentence hit the heart of the two of them, Duan Hong was rendered speechless, and Bai Yan felt powerless.The two stood like that for a while, Duan Hong held her hand, feeling extremely cold, and said, "It's windy here, we'll talk about it when we go back to camp."

"I'm bored in the room all day." Bai Yan met her eyes, forced a smile and said, "Take me outside for a walk."

The smile didn't reach his eyes, Duan Hong stared at her for a few seconds, his heart suddenly became so moist.She turned her head away and tried to keep her voice steady, "Okay."

At that time, it was windy and it looked like it was going to rain. Duan Hong couldn't think of any good place for a while.She just seemed to remember that there was a cypress forest behind the barracks, so she took Bai Yan there.

Along the way, both of them were quiet.Duan Hongji was very cautious, while controlling his emotions, he pricked up his ears to listen to Bai Yan's movements, guessing in his heart what her expression was like, but he didn't dare to look at it.She always felt that Bai Yan must be unhappy at that time, and she would be even more sad when she saw it.

In this way, Duan Hong walked on the road that was obviously not ordinary, but his heart seemed to be hanging outside.At some point, the wind stopped suddenly, and then she heard Bai Yan say thoughtfully, "I seem to have been to this place before."

Duan Hong turned his head, only to see that her face was not as sad as he imagined, on the contrary, there was a trace of tranquility.While Duan Hongda heaved a sigh of relief, she still felt as if she had passed away. She stared blankly at Bai Yan without saying a word.

Bai Yan noticed her strangeness, understood the reason, her heart felt astringent, she moved her fingers subconsciously, but was surprised that Duan Hong's palms were wet with sweat, she raised her head in surprise.

The four eyes met, and Duan Hong's dazed eyes finally changed. She slowly let go of her hand, turned and walked into the depths of the woods, and said nonchalantly, "The forests are all the same under the sky. It doesn't matter if you've been here or not."

Seeing her like this, Bai Yan became even more embarrassed, and said, "I heard that you and Miss Chu family swam all the way from Wanxiang Temple to Jiulong Mountain last month, and the scenery along the way is also the same?"

She was pretending to be joking, but Duan Hong stopped, turned around, looked at her seriously for a while, and then said, "Yes."

Bai Yan seemed to be stung hard by someone suddenly. Before the pain came, her heart was pounding like a drum, and she could hardly find her own voice. sad."

Bai Yan's voice became smaller and smaller, until finally there was only a sigh left.Duan Hong naturally knew what she wanted to say, but he couldn't answer. He paused for a few seconds before stepping forward to hold Bai Yan's hand and walking inside again.

In the forest, there are cypress trees in all directions, closely and orderly together, it really looks the same in the blink of an eye.The two walked aimlessly in the woods, and their mood gradually calmed down.Duan Hong suddenly opened his mouth, not to explain, but to say in a declarative tone, "Cousin is smart and gentle, and I feel at ease and comfortable with her. After staying for a long time, I always feel reluctant to leave. But if we really want to separate, I won't leave." How could I miss it."

……

"I used to think that you should be the same as the women in the world. In your heart, I am the most important. After going through so many things, I finally realized that you are the princess of the previous dynasty, and you have your own responsibilities. and ideas, so I don’t know what to do now. I don’t know, when the war is over, will you hate me and ignore me from now on.”

Bai Yan listened quietly, Duan Hong was able to say these words, which she did not expect, she was gratified and at the same time felt helplessly sad "Hong'er, until now, I don't resent anyone. It is fate, and no one can change it. If there is such a day, you and I should be grateful, thank God for giving us the opportunity to be together."

"Really?" Duan Hong stopped and turned to look at her. She thought that Bai Yan came this time to see her for the last time.

"Then...then those words and choices you said on the tower that day, do they still count?"

Bai Yan didn't expect that she would ask such a question, she was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Expected the answer would be like this, Duan Hong was disappointed but still a little unwilling, "Then in your private heart, do you really hope who will win this war?"

Bai Yan didn't want to answer, but Duan Hong looked at her without blinking, so she could only sigh, "Hong'er, you have been half-hearted and emotional since you were a child, so you can't be a good emperor."

"Who said I can't do it well!"

Compared to Duan Hong's gnashing of teeth, Bai Yan was extraordinarily calm, "Then tell me, which book have you read carefully, or which set of swordsmanship have you thoroughly learned?" The hardship of being an emperor, Duan Hiro couldn't eat it.

One sentence made Duan Hong speechless, and she said sullenly, "I didn't say who is the emperor, I only asked you about the two countries of Qi and Wei."

Hearing this, Bai Yan smiled and looked at her, "Then if you ask like this, isn't it for nothing?"

The atmosphere eased a lot, but Duan Hong was angry, she walked in without looking back, but the forest came to an end.There was a thin sound of water flowing. It turned out that there was a small ditch over there. The narrow part of the river was only one meter, and the water was exceptionally clear.The moment Duan Hong stepped out of the forest, the sun happened to break through the dark clouds, shining on the river, dazzlingly bright.Duan Hong turned around suddenly, and shouted at Bai Yan, quite excited, "Yan'er, I found a way to break through Liangcheng quickly."

Bai Yan was slightly surprised, and was dragged to the river bank by Duan Hong just after she left the forest.

"Look, this river is the moat leading to Liangcheng. I can poison the water."

"..." Bai Yan was speechless, and after a while, she said to Duan Hong solemnly, "I also thought of a way to quickly repel the Qi army."

"what?"

Bai Yan smiled mysteriously and said, "I won't tell you."

These were just jokes, Duan Hong didn't care too much, she sat on the ground, suddenly a fish with the width of a palm jumped out of the water.

Duan Hong was startled, only to notice that there were groups of herrings in the river.Immediately she became interested, stepped across to the opposite bank, rolled up her sleeves and insisted on catching one.

But the body of the fish is smooth, and Duan Hong has never had any experience in catching fish, so he has been tinkering there for a long time but found nothing.Bai Yan squatted on the bank to watch her, the grass on the river bank was as high as a foot, and Duan Hong's figure could not be seen clearly.As she watched, her vision gradually blurred, and Wei Ming's face appeared on her face.

"Imperial Sister, Zhou Yezhen will be eliminated no matter what. The rebels recruited that time were only more than ten thousand people. There is really no way, so I have no choice but to kill a thousand by mistake rather than let one go."

Duan Hong finally caught one, but when she got up, she saw Bai Yan's face was pale and she was still in shock, and hurriedly asked, "Yan'er, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Yan just shook her head feebly and asked, "Did you catch it?"

Duan Hong raised his eyebrows, and then sat next to her. Bai Yan looked at her for a while before she asked, "Is General Zhou the one who rescued you that night?"

Duan Hong nodded and said, "Yan'er, you must have never imagined that the Prime Minister didn't kill him at all. Now that he has shaved his beard, even I almost can't recognize him."

"Did General Zhou tell you how to communicate?" Bai Yan said, "I have something I want to ask him."

"He..." Duan Hong thought about it carefully, "He said that if he had something to do, he would ask someone to hang a green body and red mouth wine gourd on his body... What do you want to ask him?"

"You'll know then"

……

That day, Bai Yan didn't go back until dark. When Duan Hong sent her into the carriage, he took her by the hand and said, "Yan'er, if you can keep doing this, I will feel at ease and comfortable with you. It will be fun and happy."

"Really?" Bai Yan smiled slightly, threw herself into her arms, hugged her tightly, and murmured after a long time, "If one day I am not Princess Wei, I will also feel that, in fact, you can be a good emperor." .”
