King's Landing GL

Chapter 64 No Return

In the early morning, I came to the city wall. Today is the sixth day after Li Yi and the others withdrew.On the day he withdrew, I told him, I will stick to the city for ten days, but we all know that it was just a joke, because when facing Chen Guo's [-] troops, the thousand or so guards in our army are nothing more than ants .

Not to mention the casualties of the past few days.

Today is a sunny day, and the snow that has fallen for several months has finally stopped today.

Yesterday when Chen Jun attacked the city, I was at the end of my rope.Come again today...

I looked at the [-] army led by Xuanyi under the city, smiled, turned sideways, and said to my subordinates:

"Get ready to go out of town!"

"promise!"

I turned around and went down the city wall, went back to the tent, put on my military uniform, picked up my spear, put on my helmet, and walked out of the tent.Ruyi was waiting for me at the door in military uniform. When she saw me coming out, she stepped forward and said:

"General."

I took a deep look at her, turned my face away, and said expressionlessly:

"My real name is Guigu Zongheng. I married someone on the tenth day of April in the seventh year of Qin Wangbai, and the whole country witnessed it."

"Don't...don't say..." She begged with a trembling voice after realizing what I was about to say.

"The person I called in my dream is my wife..." I turned my head and looked at Ruyi, thinking that things in this world are always so helpless.If possible, I hope she can forget me, because I can't give her what she wants, just as I wish I could forget Murong Bai... because she can't give me what I want.

"Her name is Murong Bai, and her name is Xinran. She is the king of Daqin, my wife."

Ruyi suddenly burst into tears, trembling, she came forward, stretched out her hand to hug me, I paused, but hugged her back, and whispered in her ear:

"I love her so much, I can't forget her. I'm sorry..."

"Ah..." Her pupils dilated slightly, and she passed out after a cry of surprise.

I put down the hand that stunned her, called two soldiers, and ordered them to send her away.

Ruyi loves me, I know, she is a good woman, and I know it too.

But I don't love her.

I walked out of the barracks, assembled the troops under the city wall, toasted a bowl of wine, and said:

"Qin Guoer Lang An is here?!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" the crowd shouted.

I raised my head and drank the wine in one gulp, dropped the bowl, and said loudly:

"This general will defend this city to the death, who is willing to fight with me?!"

"I'm willing to wait!!!" Everyone pulled out their long swords and said loudly.

I turned around, with a spear in my hand and a military uniform, behind me were more than a thousand Haoerlang from Qin.

"Open the city gate!" I raised my hand and said, "Kill!"

"kill!!!"

"kill!!!"

"kill!!!"

He led his army out of the city gate and met Chen Guo's [-] troops.

Blood, a lot of blood.

The sound of fighting is endless, echoing in my world.Warm blood splattered on my cheeks, turning red.I kept waving my spear and stabbing the enemy soldiers who came to me one after another. In a trance, I seemed to have forgotten the time and who I was.

On the Asura battlefield, people will forget pain.So when the rain of arrows fell from the sky, I only saw the blood-stained flowers by the river.In winter, it blooms so enchantingly.

Obviously it was the rain of arrows falling, but I saw the misty rain in March many years ago, and I devoted all my energy to it.

a...

two...

three...

When more and more arrows sank into my body, I finally heard my own heavy breathing.

dying?I asked myself.

The helmet has long been scattered, and my white hair is dyed an intoxicating red, blowing in the wind.

I have fought hundreds of times, and I am finally about to fall.

The Chen Guo soldiers who strangled me formed a big circle and approached me.I looked up at the sky, and it turned out that the sun was already hanging in the sky, and it was noon.

I coughed up a mouthful of blood, stuck a spear on the ground to support my falling body, looked at Xuan Yi who was riding a horse in the distance with a smile on his mouth, and chuckled lightly.

I saw him pull the longbow towards me and point the sharp arrow at me. The moment the arrow shot out, I wondered if my white would suddenly appear in front of my eyes...

"Hmm..." When the long arrow pierced the air and shot into my left chest, I finally couldn't bear the pain and hummed softly.

The blood flowed more and more, the eyelids became more and more heavy, and the sounds of fighting around gradually quieted down. In my mind, for the first time in three years, the appearance of Murong Bai clearly appeared.

I am pretty tired...

Murong Bai, I will die for your country... Do you feel sad?

I once heard someone say that when a person is dying, various deeds of his past life will emerge before his eyes.I think this is wrong.Because what I can see with my blurry eyes at this moment is only Murong Bai, all of them are Murong Bai.

All the pictures related to her unfolded in front of my eyes one by one, one by one became clearer and one by one blurred.Acquaintance, acquaintance, love-they are dangling in front of my eyes, dangling... as if laughing at how touching and sad the drama I acted in.

I really want to reach out and grab it, but I can't grab it... just like I never grabbed her.

I wondered if she would feel sorry for me if I died in battle.

I think, probably.

But when it really came to this moment, I didn't want her to feel sad at all.She is Murong Bai, the Murong Bai who is said to be heartless and ungrateful, so I would rather she not feel sorry for me.

And don't tell me how much she loves me.

I was entangled and struggling in panic, and the moment I fell to the ground and closed my eyes, it all disappeared with the wind.

For Murong Bai, I tried my best, threw away my helmet and armor, and stained the battlefield with blood.

If I win this beautiful country for her, that's the only thing I can do.

Then Murong Bai, I sincerely wish you:

King over the world

Now, I am tired, I am so tired that I no longer have the energy to love, and I have no energy to think.

Murong Bai, forgive me for breaking my promise.

I want to sleep well and never wake up again.

——In my generation, the mortals are full of joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hatred, and desire.From birth to death, the mission comes true.

Where you come from is where you come from, and where you come back is where you come from.

Reincarnation of life and death, in one thought.

Drunk lying on the battlefield, Lord Grim, how many people have fought in ancient times?

Since farewell, the ends of the earth miss you deeply, and you are beautiful and white-haired, please don't read it.

The grievances and grievances of the rivers and lakes, death becomes death.

The past is like a dream, so seal it up.

Chu King's Mausoleum

Changing out of his military uniform and putting down his sharp sword, Sylphy came here alone in the middle of the night, carried a jar of wine, and entered the Tomb of the King of Chu with a torch. Humming old tunes all the way.In the empty tomb, his singing voice was deep and sweet, but he no longer talked about the pain of being imprisoned for 15 years like he did for the first time.He simply lamented the impermanence of the world, and after so long, he finally wrote the ending for the oath he had made for many years.

He hummed the song and greeted the owner of the tomb.

On this day of reunion, he can finally say that he is his old friend.The song that Xiang Yan taught him when he was a child was sung again after many years. Is it time or memory that has been forgotten?

"I have learned a lot from my heart, so I can't let it go. There are also brothers, so I can't rely on it. If you talk lightly, you will be angry..."

He walked to the coffin, put down the torch, and opened the altar of wine that had been buried for 27 years.

"Brother, I finally took out this jar of wine." Liquid seemed to have slipped from his silver mask, his voice was as gentle as ink, and he smiled:

"I don't know if you will still remember."

I remember the oath of sworn brotherhood that year, and the altar of wine we brewed together that year.

After many years, he finally wrote the ending, and now he came to the grave of his deceased, but he couldn't bring up any hatred anymore.

"There are also brothers, you can't justify it. Thin words go to the scorpion, and the anger of the other party...speak quietly and think about it, and you can't fly.

Brother, long time no see. "

After hating for 27 years, it really came to the end, at the moment when he shot the arrow into Zongheng's heart with his own hands, he suddenly remembered the scene when Xiang Yan surrounded him and taught him archery a long time ago.

Years later, he killed his son with the archery he had taught him.Enmity and resentment, who is right and who is wrong?

He finished drinking the jar of wine, broke the jar, and said:

"Look, I really did. If I wanted to... what can't I do?"

But I really, never wanted to hurt you.

"Why...you want to force me..."

What answered him was silence.He would never wait for that answer, never see that person again.And at this moment, the seed of hatred gradually began to wither.

He finally achieved his goal, but he was not happy at all.

What I thought was a happy ending was just an illusion caused by years of unwillingness.

It was already dawn when Xuan Yi came out, he was a little drunk, stumbled down the mountain, but met Liu Rufeng at the intersection.

"Long time no see." Liu Rufeng looked at his slightly smoked face, still the youth he remembered, "Little brother."

Sylphy raised his head, and above that mask was deathly indifference.

"I don't intend to persuade you or blame you." Liu Rufeng took out half of the jade from his arms and handed it to Xuan Yi.

That was the physical evidence when they became sworn brothers.

"There is something I should tell you. Zongheng's original name was Xiang Yi." Putting the jade into Xuan Yi's palm, he quietly looked at the brightest young man back then, but because of hatred, he became what he is now.

He smiled faintly, then turned around, turned his back to Xuan Yi, and said calmly:

"What you pursued painstakingly has always been in your hands."

It's just that if you don't look down, you won't know that there is a person who has spent all his energy to protect you.

Now you got what you wanted, but will you really, be happy?

Sylphy looked at the back of Liu Rufeng leaving in a daze, and in a daze, he suddenly remembered that no matter what he did in the past 20 years, Liu Rufeng and Xiang Yan had never really faced him, never came to ask him in front of him.

Ask if he repents.

He finally lowered his head to look at the half jade in the palm of his hand. After a while, he opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice:

"Xiang...Yi..."

Xiang Yi.

His last name is his first name.

It turns out that he is still his most beloved junior brother, has he always been in his hands?

His handsome figure trembled fiercely, roaring like a cub giving birth, and the tears from the corners of his eyes fell to the ground one after another.

After 27 years, he was finally able to cry freely.

Xiang Yan, what exactly do you think of me?In your heart, who am I after all...

The grievances and grievances of the rivers and lakes are disturbing one after another, what is right and what is wrong?

Qin Palace

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Murong Bai got up early.She hasn't slept well in the past two days, maybe it's because a heavy stone that has been pressing on her heart for many years has finally loosened, maybe it's because the weather is getting colder... She has a lot of dreams at night, always dreaming about the past. Those years, those years when that person was still in the Hall of Eternal Life.

She washed up and dispersed the palace people who served her. Because of the New Year's Eve, she didn't have to go to court, and what happened on New Year's Eve. In the third day of junior high school, those who should be killed and those who should be demoted, this time a big change After that, the two days were much quieter.

I poured myself a cup of tea, then sat at the desk and took a book that recorded weird and strange things to read.In the past, she didn't have these books in her room, and she didn't like to read them...but someone did.

The book tells a story about a person and a ghost who fall in love at the same time. She wonders where the author can think of such weird things, but then she purses her lips and laughs lightly.Now, she had better write down this story. When the man came back, he talked to her at night to scare her.

I have to admit that whenever these stories are used to bluff people, the stiff expression on that person's face is really lovable.

In the past, she always deliberately didn't show her emotions, and always liked to tease that person to guess her mind. Although it was quite interesting, but now that they are older, and the two of them have experienced so many things, they can no longer tease each other. That person is gone.

Slender and white fingers turned over a page, gently rubbing the foot of the page with their fingertips, Murong Bai looked at the book in his hand indifferently, the tea in his hand was still steaming, and occasionally came from the stove in the corner of the room. There were a few crackling and burning sounds.

It was quiet in the house and cold outside.

It looks like it's going to snow here in the capital.

After watching for an unknown amount of time, she felt a little tired, so she fell asleep on the table with her arms propped up.

I slept very well this time, perhaps because I didn't get a good sleep last night.

She felt warm on her body, and there was always eyes on it from the back—someone was looking at her.

She knew, but she didn't want to open her eyes.

Until someone gently stroked her face with his hand, calling her gently:

"Happily..."

"Hmm..." She heard someone calling her, woke up from the dream, opened her dazed eyes, and saw the longing man bending over and standing in front of her.

"Thoughts?" She said pleasantly, sat up, took the hand that was caressing her face, and looked at the person close at hand, and she, who was always calm and calm, suddenly smiled.

Unbelievable joy.

She has a delicate and gentle face, she is a qualified wife, a wife who is waiting for her husband to return:

"You're back?"

Sisi smiled gently at her, but did not speak.

"I have a lot to say to you. When you left last time, tell me and let me tell you when you come back, so I waited until now."

She took Sisi's hand and asked her to sit down beside her, and then, like a well-behaved cat, she shrank into her sweetheart's arms and hugged her.

Hold tight.

She just came back from Sisi, and her body was still cool from the outside, she rested her head on Sisi's shoulder, closed her eyes, feeling very stable. ——She never knew that she would express her affection to her lover so boldly and directly, but she was really, really happy.

After waiting for a long time, she finally came back.

"I like you, the same as you." She whispered in her thinking arms, "That year I went to Guigu Mountain to pick you up, and you came behind me and called me softly. When I turned around, I saw a smile on your face. Yi, you with clear eyes... My heart skipped a beat, and I was thinking at that time, how could someone smile so beautifully?"

She felt the hands holding her body tightened, so she continued:

"On horseback, I wasn't upset that you accidentally slighted me. Well... You must be wondering when I knew you were a woman, that's when. Because I think, the world Probably no man's lips are so soft... so sweet.

But you really don't have a good character, and you like to visit brothels, which is really annoying, but I just fell in love with you, it's really... a little puzzling...

The misty rain in March in the south of the Yangtze River was very beautiful, and I liked it very much.When you hugged me and said you wanted to send me picturesque, I was thinking, maybe I was emotional. "

Her voice was soft and waxy. In the arms of her beloved, she remembered what happened many years ago.

When she was alone before, she didn't dare to think about it for fear of hurting others.Now when the two are together, looking back on the past, there are really joys and sorrows.

"We got married and I told you on our wedding night that I would fall in love with you...but I knew in my heart that I couldn't. That was the first time I lied to you. At first I was very Uneasy, but later when I discovered the existence of Su Yu, the anxiety in my heart subsided a little... She likes you, I knew it when I first saw her. I thought I could let you and Su Yu If you don't get involved clearly, then you won't like me too much, and I won't be too guilty. So I used you time and time again to send you to Chu to see off your relatives, and let you promulgate reforms in your name... ...This is very good, everything is going on as expected, according to the plan you designed in the future Qin State. But I am getting more and more restless and suffering. You are very good and treat me too Okay. Cook for me, sew for me, and wait for me to come back... I can't bear you being so kind. As a king, I can't let things exceed my expectations. So I made up my mind... Poison you, then I have a reason to do something. But when I really... saw you lying on the bed, pale, I was afraid.

Really scared.I am afraid that I will live alone in this huge hall of longevity, and no one will accompany me anymore.

I asked Pi Sen to save you, but he said that if you get rid of the poison, then the unfeeling Gu in your body will also be released... You will think of Su Yu who once married you.

...I'm selfish, you know.So I choose not to save you, there is probably no one more selfish than me in the world.I think, if you are really dead... then at least you still love me as always, but if you are saved, you will not love me anymore. ......I am used to you loving me and being nice to me, so if God wants to deprive you of all this, I would rather you die. "

She smiled wryly, clutching her thoughtful sleeves, and said in a low voice:

"You spoil me so much, you spoil me. You spoil me so much that I thought... you wouldn't be angry with me no matter what I did. I didn't know until I touched Su Yu, you Likes will also be disappointed.

I took the harem, and you and I have had trouble for nearly a year.It was not easy to reconcile...but he made peace with Chen Guo again. "

I don't know why, but she talked a lot today.In a rambling manner, I said happily today what I had no time to say:

"I've only ever liked you, be it Xie Changjun or Murong Wen, to me, they are just others. I know you are annoyed that I married Xie Changjun... and gave birth to Murong Wu with him. But I... .There is no way... When the queen mother threatened me with you, I had no chance to resist at all.

Thinking...you have already become my Achilles' heel.

But Murong Wu, she is not my child.Mr. Xie and I are also innocent.I set up a bureau for six years, just to stop wanting to be restricted by others. "

She raised her head from her thoughtful embrace, stepped forward and gently kissed the corner of her lover's mouth, and murmured softly:

"Do you believe me?——Believe that I only like you alone, and you have not betrayed me."

"I believe it." Sisi smiled, hugged her, and said softly, "Of course I believe everything you say. It's just that you should have told me earlier."

If she had known earlier, perhaps, she would not have waited so long.

Hearing his lover's words, Murong Bai frowned with a smile, and shrank back into Sisi's arms again, like a disobedient little girl who committed a crime but relied on the other party's pampering to be confident and said:

"It's not too late to tell you now."

She came back, came back to her.

It's not too late.

They still have many, many years to spend together.

Although it took a long time, it was not too late.

If the lover can return, it is never too late.

"Okay, let's go back to sleep. I'll call you when the time comes?" The sweetheart's soft voice echoed softly in her ears, and for some reason, she suddenly blushed.

"Okay, call me later."

"it is good."

She fell asleep again, ignoring the day and night, not knowing when.

She couldn't remember how long she slept.

She only remembered that she slept very well this time, and she had never had such a good sleep in many years.

When I woke up, it was already noon.

The cup of tea that was poured at the table at that time was already cold.

She stretched her waist and stood up from her seat. When she passed the screen, she smiled and stretched out her hand to straighten the dress that had been there for a long time.After a pause, she turned around and walked to the window, opened the window, and the chill hit her face, making her awake.

It seems that just now, I had a very good dream.

The corners of her mouth curled into a smile, she didn't know what to think of, she stretched out her hand and took out a piece of jade from her bosom, and stroked it gently, after a long while, her body trembled violently, suddenly trembling:

Broken...

The piece of jade she gave her was broken from the middle.

She felt a pain in her heart, and the severe pain made her almost out of breath. She leaned on the window sill, tightly holding the piece of jade that was broken in two, and her mind was in a mess.

"Your Majesty, it's time for lunch... Ah, what's wrong with you, Your Majesty?!" Xiao Taozi came in from the outside, intending to call Murong Bai for lunch, but saw Murong Bai leaning against the window with a pale face. She was so frightened that she trembled all over, and hurried forward to support Murong Bai.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you? Imperial Physician, Xuan Imperial Physician! Xiao Taozi will find you an imperial physician right away!" Xiao Taozi spoke incoherently, Fang wanted to turn around, but Murong Bai grabbed his arm.

Xiao Taozi looked intently, Murong Bai tremblingly stretched out his left hand, spread it out, and saw a piece of high-quality warm jade in the palm of his hand broken into two halves.

"This is..." Xiao Taozi was a little puzzled.

"Broken..." Murong Bai's eyes were blank, his body was still trembling, "The jade she gave me suddenly shattered."

When Xiao Taozi was about to ask who "she" was, she suddenly understood what Murong Bai was talking about.

"Your Majesty, don't worry!" Xiao Taozi turned her head around a few times, and comforted Murong Bai, "During the Chinese New Year, things are broken, and it will be safe, and you will be safe every year."

"Safe every year?" Murong Bai was taken aback for a moment, looked at the jade in his hand blankly, and repeated Xiao Taozi's words, "Safe every year?"

"Yes, your Majesty, you don't know the customs of Chinese New Year. During this Chinese New Year, if something is broken, it means peace every year."

Murong Bai heaved a sigh of relief, and the pain in her heart suddenly improved a lot. She thought that she was probably too weak, why couldn't she stay calm when she met that person?

"Every year is good, every year is good." She smiled and said to Xiao Taozi, "It's good to be safe."

Xiao Taozi also smiled at her, but her heart sank.

"By the way, why are you here looking for an orphan?" She collected her expression and asked Xiao Taozi, while carefully putting the jade away next to her body.

She thought that after the new year, she would find a good craftsman to carve the broken jade into two pieces.

One person, one piece.

"It's time for lunch. The queen mother sent a letter earlier, saying that she wants to have lunch with the king."

"Oh, I forgot." She said lightly, "Then let's go."

"promise."

She knew why Jian An was looking for her, but she didn't expect that this day would come so early.
