King's Landing GL

Chapter 65 Helping Souls Return

The weather is getting colder and colder every day.It stands to reason that after New Year's Eve, the capital will gradually get warmer, but this year is strange, it looks like it is going to snow.

On the day of the seventh day, Murong Bai went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Sure enough, Jian An said goodbye to her, saying that an old friend came to look for her, and left as promised.

She kowtowed three times to Jian An, and left the Hall of Mental Cultivation without looking back.She is probably a cold-blooded person, and she is always surprisingly calm when facing parting.I used to send it to the secretary, but now to the mother.She didn't shed a single tear, she was sad, but what can she do?

Those who should go should go, and those who can't stay can't stay.

Finally, she was the only one left in the huge Qin Palace.

But it doesn't matter... Soon, Li Ren will return, and by then, she will no longer be alone.

On the evening of the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Murong Bai came back from a walk outside, and just as he walked in front of the Hall of Eternal Life, snow suddenly fell from the sky.

She was startled, stopped in her tracks, looked up at the snowflakes dancing in the sky, and suddenly remembered what happened a long time ago.

One year, she set off fireworks for that person. She supported her and stood in the inner courtyard of the Hall of Eternal Life, looking up at the sky full of dazzling fireworks together with that person.

They wore the same black robes and stood side by side, melting into the darkness in the middle of the night.

There are only two of them in the world.

--"do you like it?"

——"Like it. It would be... even better if it could snow."

——"Snow? It rarely snows here in the capital, and even if it does, it's only a few patches."

——"Really? But I really want to see the snow falling."

——"If the king's capital is snowing heavily, I will accompany you to enjoy it."

It's snowing, a lot of snow.

Li Dequan held up an umbrella for her behind him.

"Aon."

"The old slave is here."

"Wang Du, it hasn't snowed in many years..." she said softly.

Li Dequan looked at the snow that was falling more and more, and smiled:

"Auspicious snow heralds a good year—it's a good thing."

"Is it?"

"Yes." Li Dequan nodded and smiled, "Your Majesty, it's cold outside, let's go in."

"Yeah." She looked back, stepped forward, and climbed up the stairs.

For some reason, her heart beat a little faster suddenly.

"Report-report-border emergency report-"

She paused in her stride, turned around, and watched the soldier with the emergency report running towards her, narrowing her eyes.

Why, there is a spirit on the arm?

why?She is so disturbed?

"Your Majesty! An emergency report from the border!" The soldier came to her, knelt down to her, and then handed her both hands.

She paused, feeling her voice trembling:

"Who are you... Dai Ling?"

As soon as the words were finished, she saw 24 soldiers in military uniform, with mournful faces, carrying the coffin in their hands, walking towards her with neat steps.

—that was the highest funeral in the army.

"I ask you, who are you—Dai Ling?!" She felt that her heart had almost stopped beating, and her body suddenly trembled from the cold.

"Our Army's National Guard General - Gu Congnan.

Leading more than a thousand people to defend Bincheng, bloody battle for six days - killed! "

"Boom—boom—boom—" she heard the sound of the 24 soldiers ringing the mourning bell.

Killed?

Array - death?

She still didn't understand what they were saying, and stood there numbly, motionless.At this moment, his smart and calm mind was completely blank, and he didn't know what he was going to do.

Until Li Dequan beside him cried out...

She turned her head and looked at Li Dequan blankly, her voice was clear and cold, but trembling:

"Aon...was crying—what?"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!" Li Dequan wiped his eyes with his sleeve, trying to wipe away the tears, but he couldn't do so, "Your Majesty...he..."

What's up with her?

Murong Bai was a little confused, what happened to Wang Jun?

She turned her head, looked at the soldier kneeling in front of her with a spirit on her arm, and said:

"You just said—who, died in battle?"

Before the soldiers could speak, she saw the 24 soldiers coming forward and knelt down in front of her.

Then the leading soldier raised a black wooden box above his head:

"General, you are still here."

The snow fell so heavily that it seemed to drown everything.

"Who—killed?" she asked again.

"General - Gu Congnan." The soldier replied.

This time she finally understood what they were talking about, but she staggered and nearly fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty!" Li Dequan hurried forward to support her.

Gu Congnan was killed in battle.

She was supported by Li Dequan, paused, pointed to the black wooden box, and asked Li Dequan:

"Wang Jun?"

Li Dequan looked at Murong Bai with empty eyes, endured his grief, and nodded.

Seeing Li Dequan nodding, he confirmed it.But she became ruthless, pushed Li Dequan away, staggered, walked up to the soldier holding the wooden box, took the box with trembling hands, and held it in her arms.

Why is it not warm at all?When I hugged her before, wasn't her body very warm?Why is it not warm at all now?

She lowered her gaze, her voice trembling like a sieve:

"Ghost Valley?"

No one should answer.

"Wang Jun?"

"Nobody answered."

She finally shed tears, and her voice became hoarse:

"Thoughts..."

Still no answer.

She turned and shuffled up the steps.

It's so cold outside, and it's so cold to think about it, she wants to take her back to the Palace of Eternal Life to warm her up.

Li Dequan watched Murong Bai's depressed back walking slowly in the heavy snow, and said in a trembling voice:

"Kings......"

After waiting for six years, Li Ren returned in this way.Your Majesty, how can she bear it?

Murong Bai carried the black wooden box back to the Hall of Eternal Life, his distraught appearance frightened the palace people, but fortunately Li Dequan, who followed behind, withdrew the palace people in time.

Very big snow.

Murong Bai sat in the inner courtyard of the Hall of Eternal Life, looked up at the snowflakes in the sky, and murmured:

"Very big snow."

Finally, only she and Sisi were left in the entire Palace of Eternal Life. She once said that if the king's capital snowed heavily, she would accompany her to enjoy the snow.Now it's snowing in the capital, and it's snowing a lot... But where is she?

Killed?

How could he die in battle?

How could a good person, who had been with her for ten years, suddenly die in battle?

died?

How could it be dead?

She hugged the box containing the ashes tightly, but she couldn't figure it out, how could such a big person fit in this small box?

Tears fell one drop after another.

Guigu Zongheng, if you lie to me, I will definitely punish you——I will severely punish you!

How can you make a joke of this?

What is dead?

To die means that she will never see her again, never see her smile again, never hold her hand again, never hear her soft voice call her "Xinran" again.

She can't hold her anymore.I can no longer feel her body temperature, no longer be able to speak with her.

She obviously waited for so long and prepared for so long.When she comes back, how can she just die... die?

Guigu Zongheng, if you lie to me, you will end badly.Because I will trap you by my side, so that you can never escape again!

With trembling hands, she opened the box. Time suddenly stopped at this moment, and then her thin body in the snow began to tremble.

She saw it, saw the bloody bracelet on the white powder. —that she made for her with her own hands.

Red beans are born in the southern country,

How many branches will spring come?

May you pick more,

This thing is the most Acacia.

How could it be, with blood on it?

With trembling hands, she took it out, and the blood on it had dried.

It was the blood of her sweetheart!

It turned out to be true...

She tightly covered her eyes with her hands, and she told herself that she couldn't cry.Sisi loves her so much, she definitely doesn't want to see her cry, so she can't cry.

Do not cry in front of her.

But besides crying, what should she do to express her sadness?What to do to see her thinking again.

Give her back my thoughts...

Why take thinking away from her?Shouldn't her people stay by her side?

"I was wrong..." She tried hard to control the stability of her voice, trying to let Sisi hear, "How much do you blame me...for not coming back?"

Her tears were hanging on her eyelashes, and her voice was very soft:

"Before you asked me if I loved you... I lied to you, I love you. Thinking... I shouldn't have lied to you."

Like a laugh, but there is no trace of expression in the empty eyes:

"You blame me for lying to you, don't you? Don't bother me...I was wrong."

"I will never lie to you again..."

"Come back, come back..."

The sky was full of snowflakes, and the endless snow fell on Murong Bai who was dressed in black. In the vast snow field, she seemed to be the only one left.

She said a lot of things, as if she had said everything she hadn't said in her life.

But she never heard anything, and someone was willing to answer her words.

She didn't remember how she sat in the Hall of Eternal Life all night holding that person's ashes, or how she survived such a cold night.

I just remember the heavy snow that day, it was so heavy, so beautiful, and so cold.

And years ago, the person who stood beside her and said, "If it can snow, that would be...better" is gone.

She will never, never see her again.

This year is undoubtedly the coldest year.

The capital of the kingdom, which has not seen snow in more than thirty years, has snowed heavily for three days in a row, and the world has turned white, covering up all the past.

——There is a record in the history books: Qin Wangjun Guigu Zongheng, at the age of seventeen, entered the state of Qin.He worshiped Shangqing and married the King of Qin in the same year.Politics in reform, military in the battlefield.He has a daughter named Wu with Murong Bai, king of Qin.With the concept of Zongheng Guigu family governing the country, the foundation of the Great Qin Empire has been laid for 400 years.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Qin Wangjun Guigu Zongheng and his pseudonym Gu Congnan died in battle.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, when the coffin returned to the capital, Qin Wang Murong Bai issued an edict to the world the next day to guard the coffin for seven days.

On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, King Qin's spirit was buried in the royal tomb.

A piece of the past, sealed up here.

After that night, Murong Bai seemed to have returned to the way he was many years ago, never having any joys or worries.

After that, things just let nature take its course.Whether she pays attention or not, it's already like that.

Can't change anything.

As Li Wu said, the Qin army would be victorious after the beginning of spring, but such a victory did not bring her joy.

——In March of the 17th year of Qin Wangbai, Chen Qinlijiang fought, Chen Jun's coach Xuan Yi died in battle, Qin Dasheng won, and Chen Juguo surrendered.

The next month, the Qin army returned in triumph.

Maybe it was Wang Jun's death on the battlefield that caused grief and anger to the soldiers on the frontier, maybe it was because Xuan Yi felt bored without Zongheng, in short... this battle is over.

It was a sunny day when I got the letter of surrender.Such a big sun made Murong Bai's eyes suddenly shed tears.

She raised her hand and wiped her eyes. She didn't cry, but this year's spring came too late and the wind was too strong.

When Li Wu returned with his army, it was already spring in the capital.After entering the palace to confer rewards, he left the Xuanzheng Palace.

The sun outside was very strong, and the snow that fell in the capital in winter has long since disappeared.

"General Li, congratulations..."

"Congratulations, General Lee..."

The colleagues beside him kept congratulating him, but for some reason, he still couldn't laugh.

Because only those who have been in the army and on the battlefield know how much blood is in this "congratulations".

How many people have fought in ancient times?

He suddenly let out a long sigh.

Xuanzheng Hall side hall

Li Yi faced Murong Bai silently, he was sorry for Gu Congnan, and even more sorry for the king.Now, although he has returned in triumph, there is one person who will never come back.

The person the king most wanted to come back could never come back again.

"Does she have anything to say to Gu?" After a long time, Murong Bai heard himself asking Li Yi softly.

"The general said...just ask the king to forgive her for breaking her promise."

"...Back off."

"promise."

After Li Yi left, Murong Bai sat down on the chair and was in a daze for a long time, until the back of her hand was stained with warm liquid, she felt herself crying.

She was used to crying silently.

Moving her body, she took out two letters from her bosom, one was written by the man many years ago, and the other was the last letter written by the man before going to the battlefield.

After a pause, he raised his hand and lit the fire, burning it clean.

In the light of the fire, she saw their first meeting at the foot of Guigu Mountain, so beautiful and so hurtful.

She couldn't stand it anymore, couldn't stand this going on.

He didn't bring her any words, but asked her to forgive her.

forgive?

Why forgive?

——"Don't read."

There are only these two words in her last letter, do you really hate her so much?Do you want to deprive her of the chance to read her?

He clearly promised to come back and stay with her until the end... Now that he has broken his promise, let her never see her again, and ask her to forgive...

— can’t do it.

Never, ever.

After that, it's history.

On the 17th day of April in the [-]th year of King Bai of Qin Dynasty, King Qin sealed off the sergeants of the town and exempted them from tax for one year.

On the first day of the first month of the 18th year of Qin Wangbai, it took seven years for Qin to rule the world and the Great Qin Empire was established.

The lingering person in his heart finally returns, and his long-cherished wish is fulfilled.

On this day when the whole country was jubilant, Murong Bai, who had already ruled the world, sat alone in the Hall of Eternal Life, and took out the altar of wine that was brewed for her many years ago.

Got very drunk.

She sat in the hall all night, probably because of her longing madness or the reappearance of strange things.She saw Guigu robes trimmed with white cloud brocade, her hair tied up, her face delicate and gentle thinking came to her, bent down, looked at her with clear eyes, and asked:

- go back?

She smiled and wanted to reach out to hug her, as if returning to her birthday that year in a trance, she said:

"Are you carrying me? - If you carry me, I will go back."

But she couldn't hug her. She saw the person who was close at hand, very close to her, but she couldn't hug her no matter what.

The person who once tolerated her everything, now doesn't want to hug her anymore.

Suddenly, she burst into tears.

She regrets it.

I really regret it.

Before that, she thought selfishly that liking could not last long, so she let Sisi hate her.She is not afraid to think about hating her.

Love is as long as hate is.

Maybe... hate outlasts love.

She's sorry for her many times, and she also knows that forgiveness is not something that can be said casually, so if she has to choose between hating her and forgetting her, she would rather think about hating her.

...If Sisi hated her when they were separated, it also means that she can remember her in the years to come.

But when she was at this moment, drunk and dreaming, and she couldn't hug her no matter what, she regretted it.

In the middle of the night when the soul of the old man returned, all her self-confidence was finally crushed.

She regretted it, really regretted it.

In the following years, Murong Bai often had the same dream.I dreamed that one winter, it snowed heavily in the capital.

On the tall moon-watching tower in Qin Palace, under the cold moonlight, the person she was waiting for finally returned.

She climbed up the stairs, walked towards the person she was thinking of step by step, stood behind her, and held her breath.

"Thoughts..." She called out to the person whose back was facing her with a trembling voice.

The man turned around with a smile. He was still as handsome as he was when he was 17 years old. He was too beautiful.

He raised his hand to stroke the snowflakes that fell on her clothes when she came.whispered to her:

"Gladly, I'm back."

At that moment, she knew.It turned out that Rong Hua's King's Landing after Xie's death was not worth what the old man said when he returned.

In the dream, she finally hugged her, leaned on her shoulder and said "I regret it".

But after waking up from the dream, she could only hug herself and tell herself that that person would never come back.

never come back.

She clearly knew that the dream of waiting for her lover to return had long been swaying in the wind, scattered in the ancient time, and could never be found again.

When my hair reaches my waist, how about the return of the general?This body is a gentleman's intention to be free and unrestrained, how could the mountains and rivers be desolate.When the sky breaks down, Mu Xue grows old.Han Jian silently listens to the rushing thunder, □□ guarding the empty trench alone.Jun Mo laughed drunk on the battlefield, blowing through the corners of the painting overnight.A late visitor from the south of the Yangtze River, with a red rope knotted in his hair.

One will succeed, ten thousand bones will wither.

A few people rejoice, a few people worry.

——The past events in the rivers and lakes, looking at the sea for thousands of years, the sea has been reduced to mulberry fields.

Ghost Valley Mountain Tongtian Peak

The room was full of medicinal fragrance, a woman in Taoist uniform stood by the barrel, and whispered to a man with white hair and eyes closed who was soaked in medicinal herbs in the barrel:

"You didn't listen to telling you to leave there a few years ago, but this is good, you deserve so many holes in your body. It's ugly. You slept well, and I had to dig through more than 2000 corpses to find you, if it wasn't for you I set up a Taoist talisman for you in the early years, and you are dead."

She propped her chin, looking bored:

"I made you a dead body disguised as you, so you don't have to go back. Well, thank me when you wake up..."

"Time..." While speaking, the door was pushed open, and a cold and pleasant, but somewhat hoarse and deep voice came into Shiguang's ears. Suddenly, the woman named Shiguang was sad. The expression immediately changed into a happy one:

"Annual ring annual ring..."

She happily ran forward and hugged the woman named Annual Ring, saying:

"Why did you come back..."

Annual Ring sighed, rubbed her head, and laughed:

"I've only been out for a few hours."

"But I just miss you very much." Shi Guang smiled, and stepped forward to kiss the other party's cheek again.

"..." This made 71 and Hengyi, who saw this scene just after entering the room, almost want to poke their eyes.

"Ahem..." Everyone coughed lightly.

Time lay on the shoulders of the annual rings, looking at everyone strangely:

"Do you all have typhoid fever?"

"..."

"Okay, let's get down to business." Year Ring patted her on the shoulder and said.

"Oh..." Shi Shi's voice was a little muffled, he pouted his lips, walked to the barrel, pointed at the person soaked in the barrel, and said to everyone, "Hey, isn't he dead. "

71: "..."

"You have to believe in my medical skills. Except for the dead, there is no one who can't be saved by a Destiny Master."

He bowed to the woman named Annual Ring and said:

"Senior, I don't know my senior brother..."

"No problem." Year Ring smiled, very gentle, "Sometimes there is time, nothing can happen. However, the vertical and horizontal injuries are too serious, and the treatment may take a long time. A year or so is not uncommon."

71 happily said:

"It's okay, it's fine, as long as it can be saved."

"..." Time looked at him speechlessly, and said, "You are doubting me!"

"I'm not particularly suspicious..."

"..."

"My teacher is far away, the hospitality is not good, please forgive me. Dare to ask the senior's name, such a great kindness, Guigushan is very grateful." Heng Yi stepped forward and bowed to the tree rings, said.

"Name taboo?" Year Ring was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled again, "I haven't remembered my name for many years. Speaking of which, Zongheng Guigu's lineage has some connections with the Destiny Master. Besides, Zongheng has been kind to me, you guys You're welcome."

"But..." Hengyi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shi Guang:

"Why do you ask her her name? She is so proud, she can't say her last name."

She was so angry that the annual ring refused to tell her her name.

The annual ring sighed, a little helpless, and said:

"Surname is Feng, Suiren's family. Name is Yanxin."

Time pouted aside and said:

"It's good to call her romantic. These days, what's the point of talking?"

Everyone: "..."

Year Ring looked at the person soaked in the barrel, and said softly:

"Saving her this time is to forcefully change her fate. Even if she is saved, she may not enjoy a long life."

71 Road:

"How long will that last?"

"It should be fine for more than 50 years." Shi Guang scratched his head beside him, "Oh, it's good to be alive. What to choose?!"

"...More than 50 years is also possible." After a big salute to Time, he said, "Thank you, girl."

"Thank you. What if she wakes up and see you again... Mu... Mu why?"

"Murong Bai." 71 reminded.

"Yes, go see that Murong Bai again, and get hurt again...I guarantee that she won't live for five months."

Everyone suddenly fell silent.

See, it's an injury.

No, isn't it hurt?
