Dianxia Qingcheng

Standing on the Drum Tower, you can see the flames galloping from far to near, forming a whole piece along the borderline, sweeping with great momentum.

But looking at the city, the celebrating crowd has not dispersed yet.

The little man in Pei Zheng's arms closed his eyes at some point, fell into his arms, and fell asleep breathing evenly.

The red light of the fire trees all over the city reflected the little man's cheek, Pei Zheng just looked at his sleeping face, lowered his head and kissed him on the lips.

This is a kind of incense made of a special material. After smelling it for a long time, one will lose consciousness and pass out, but it is absolutely harmless to the body.

If he is not allowed to fall asleep peacefully, he will not cooperate obediently.

Over the past few days, Pei Zheng has been tortured by himself to the point of going crazy.

Ever since the emperor abolished Qi Hanlian's position as the crown prince, Pei Zheng had a vague premonition that the emperor seemed to intend to make Qi Changyi the crown prince, and wanted him to help him by his side.

If it was a peaceful and prosperous world, Pei Zheng would readily agree and would not hesitate to die.

But it was a time of war, and the whole country fell into a dangerous situation that had never been seen before.

At that time, Pei Zheng knew that this great country that had existed for hundreds of years had come to an end.

The frontlines of the war were defeated one after another, and the soldiers of the whole country were not brave enough. The land of Anle could not raise soldiers who could fight the enemy bravely, except for Zhao Litang.

But even Zhao Litang disappeared for several months without any news.

This prince is very likely to become the king of subjugation, and Pei Zheng will not let the villain take this risk.

But the reason couldn't be explained clearly, Pei Zheng only told the fourth prince Qi Changfeng what his intention was, and Qi Changfeng immediately understood it.

Later, Qi Changfeng agreed, he was willing to be the prince, and he was willing to do his best to protect this country.

In the end, Qi Changfeng was able to succeed.

During those days, the little people in the house were immersed in sadness all day long, and Pei Zheng was overwhelmed, but he refused to say anything.

In fact, Pei Zheng has been secretly contacting a country north of the Celestial Dynasty, the Northern Territory Country. He knew that it was only a matter of time before the barbarian army invaded the imperial capital, and he had to pave the way for the little man.

Not only because he promised the emperor to protect the little man's safety, but also because it was his heart, his breath, his life, and the rest of his life.

It wasn't until one time that Pei Zheng was dealing with political affairs in the palace and returned to the mansion very late, only to find that the little man hadn't slept yet, and had been waiting for him, and he had to be hugged and coaxed before he would fall asleep.

Pei Zheng looked at the little man sleeping obediently in his arms, and was suddenly startled by a thought.

If it's always been like this, if it's always been like this

How can I be willing to let go, how can I be willing to let him go, and how can the little man learn to live independently.

Pei Zheng didn't close his eyes that night, just silently looking at the sleeping little man.

Later, Pei Zheng intentionally didn't go back home often, and even though he missed him unbearably, he forced himself not to watch or listen, if his heart was always soft, then one day he would be too hard to let him go.

But that little man didn't know anything, he thought it was because he didn't do a good job, which made Pei Zheng angry, his eyes were full of tears and he looked so pitiful, Pei Zheng felt pain in his heart and lowered his voice involuntarily , went to hug him uncontrollably, stroked his hair and softly coaxed him, and then sent him back coldly as if thinking of something.

It was intentional to neglect him, but the tender love and tenderness revealed in the invisible was not controlled by the heart.

That night, the little man asked hopefully if he could marry him.

Pei Zheng's hands holding his small body were trembling uncontrollably, clamoring wildly in his heart, wanting him, marrying him, holding him and never letting go.

But how can

After Pei Zheng sent the little man back to the small building, he sat in the study for a long time all night, his whole body was cold to the bone, and he didn't read a copy of the memorial.

This seemed to be a kind of silent torture, not only the cruelty to the little man, but also the cruel torture to Pei Zheng himself.

The little light that was obtained with great difficulty, can finally live by the light, but now he has to push the light far away with his own hands, let him go to other places, so that he can keep shining, and staying by his side will only slow down. Turn off slowly.

But love itself is unspeakable, the more you endure and suppress it, the more it will eat blood and flesh and grow wildly in your heart.

After knowing that the little black cat that had been with him for more than three years had died, Pei Zhengming became drunk.

After returning to the mansion, he walked out of the small building unconsciously, but heard that the little man went to Huachi to take a bath.

Perhaps it was because of the drunkenness that he finally dared to walk in regardless of the consequences, regardless of gains or losses.

The little man fell asleep beside the Huachi, his fair little face was flushed red, his red lips were half-opened and half-closed, murmuring uneasily.

Standing quietly beside him for a while, Pei Zheng came back to his senses a little bit, and wanted to turn around and leave as soon as possible. Looking at it like this, he felt that he was about to lose control of himself.

Unexpectedly, that soft little hand grabbed the corner of his clothes, and the drunkenness in Pei Zheng's mind exploded.

Everything that happened later was just following the heart and instinct, buried in the soft and hot body, and was deeply branded, telling the indescribable struggle and helplessness one after another.

Yes, Pei Zheng felt helpless.

Being cold-hearted and doing whatever he wants, this used to be what he was best at.

If it was Pei Zheng in the past, he wouldn't care about whether the people in the world were dead or alive, and wouldn't care about the brutal war and the displacement of the people at dawn. At that time, he didn't seem to care much. Even if the country was broken and the gods fell, it had nothing to do with him.

But now he has burdened too much, thought too much, his blood has been covered with heat, and if he wants to cool down, his heart will feel pain.

It took a lot of effort to arrange for the people who met in the Northern Territory country.

Jiang Yubai and Chengfeng returned to Jiang's house, and they should have been back a long time ago, but Pei Zheng issued an order to deceive them into the Northern Territory Kingdom, and they would never return to the imperial capital.

And the little man will also be secretly escorted out of the imperial capital on the night of the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, and go to the Northern Territory to join Chengfeng and others.

Although there are still several Chinese cities in the north of the imperial capital, once the capital is lost, the other cities will no longer be meaningful, so it is only safe to arrange them in another country.

If there is no victory in the sky, then don't come back for a day.

If the Celestial Dynasty is defeated, then, never come back.

Moreover, Pei Zheng continued to send people to look for Zhao Litang's whereabouts, and told him that if he could come back alive, he would also go all the way north to the Northern Territory Kingdom.

Pei Zheng had arranged all their retreats, but he didn't arrange his own, because he had no intention of leaving from the beginning.

The people of the entire imperial capital, the entire palace of the Celestial Dynasty, all the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty, all the military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and the new emperor who had just ascended the throne not long ago, none of them planned to leave.

Pei Zheng thought that he always lived for himself, but this time, he wanted to live as the prime minister of the celestial dynasty.

This last time, he wanted to be worthy of Liming common people, the heroic souls of many soldiers who died in battle, the former emperor, and the entire kingdom of heaven.

However, I have to feel sorry for that little man, and I am sorry for himself.

Fortunately, the little man already has a goal, even without himself, he can live a good life, so Pei Zheng can feel at ease.

On the last day of the celebration, Pei Zheng didn't want to go back to the mansion, but when the time came, someone would go to the mansion to take the little man away directly.

Since parting is too bitter, don't see each other at all.

Pei Zheng thought that he could bear the bone-destroying lovesickness and reluctance, and if he sent him away with his own hands, that would be the cruelest punishment.

But in the end, he still couldn't bear it, and by the time he realized it, he had already returned to the small building, and was gently stroking the sleeping face with his fingers.

Just stay a little longer, Pei Zheng told himself, if you selfishly look at him a few more times, hug him a little longer, then allow yourself one last time not to push him away.

But the city is full, the streets are full, and their memories are everywhere.

With excuses, Pei Zheng apologized to the little man, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault"

What he didn't say was, "I'm the one who wronged you, it's me who made you sad, it's my selfishness that wants you to live well, it's me

I deliberately pushed you away again and again, it's me, I can't promise to marry you, and I can't promise not to leave you."

With faint nostrils, he stroked the little man's hair as before, and asked, "Can you forgive me?"

That's why he prepared lanterns all over the city, and set off the most beautiful fireworks. He hoped that the last impression left by the imperial city on the little people's hearts would be beautiful.

But he was also afraid that something too beautiful would make it difficult for people to forget it.

He hoped that the little man could continue to live in peace and joy in that northern country. He heard that there would be a lot of snow there, so the little man would like it very much.

The flames outside the city were still rapidly spreading towards this side. Thousands of soldiers were guarding outside the imperial capital, staring closely at the rushing enemy army.

The barbarian army was still tens of miles away from the imperial capital yesterday, and they did not expect to attack so quickly.

Pei Zheng jumped down from the Drum Tower with the little man in his arms, and quickly moved towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

A carriage had already parked at the back door of the Xiangfu, and several secret guards with the most powerful martial arts in the mansion followed the carriage.

"My lord" Li Yu started to cry as soon as he saw Pei Zheng. He just found out about all this, and found out that your lord is going to send them off tonight

Those who left, before, they did not get any news.

Pei Zheng stepped forward, gently placed the little man in his arms on the carriage, then reached out to caress the little man's cheek, and kissed him on the lips.

"My lord, I'm not leaving, I'll stay with you"

"You have more important tasks." Pei Zheng got up, patted Li Yu's shoulder, looked at him and said, "If you want, help me take care of him."

"Okay! I see!" Li Yu nodded heavily, wiping away tears.

Pei Zheng turned his head and took a deep look inside the carriage.

"Not just tonight, but for the rest of my life."
