Sui Jiu Dan blue half-pin

ten days later.

Zhou Yuran decided to leave tomorrow and return to Jincheng to report to Emperor Yuren.

The night before his departure, he came to look for Wu Zhige.

The cold wind blows through the promenade, and the lanterns under the eaves are indistinct.Wu Zhige was walking in the corridor, and saw a handsome figure standing in front of him.

The figure heard footsteps and turned around.

It's Zhou Yuran.

Tonight, his eyes are like bright stars, and his lips are like the moon.He is dressed in a black robe, with a belt inlaid with jade and silver rings around his waist, and his black hair is tied in a hosta. During his movements, he can be seen wearing a pair of soft boots with black background and white patterns on his feet, which makes him exude a different elegance and elegance than usual Gentle.

"Master Zhou."

"Wu Zhige, I've been waiting for you."

"Master Zhou is waiting for Mr. Wu?" Wu Zhige was surprised at first, and then he said as if he understood something, "I heard Mr. Zhou is leaving tomorrow, so have you thought about how to deal with Mr. Wu?"

Zhou Yuran walked up to him and said solemnly: "Yes, it's time to deal with you."

Wu Zhige wasn't surprised. On the contrary, he was ready to be beheaded, so he said calmly, "No matter what Mr. Zhou wants to do with Wu, Wu will gladly accept it."

"Oh? Accept it no matter what?"

Wu Zhige nodded.

Zhou Yuran sized him up: "A bandit leader like you should be sent to the execution ground."

Wu Zhige thought to himself, his fate was indeed like this, but he only made those captured brothers suffer, and they would be beheaded together with him.

"I was right in thinking so at first." Zhou Yuran smiled gently, "But now, I have changed my mind. Maybe there is something more worthwhile for me to do."

Wu Zhige asked suspiciously, "Master Zhou, what does this mean?"

"Wu Zhige."

Wu Zhige frowned, and looked at Zhou Yuran quietly, puzzled.

Zhou Yuran's eyes were full of firmness, and he said clearly: "I want to include you in my Mohist army."

Hearing this, Wu Zhige's eyes widened bit by bit, and he couldn't even believe his ears.

Zhou Yuran explained: "After getting along for this period of time, I found that you are not really heinous, at least in some respects, you are superior. Instead of sending you to the guillotine, how about defending your home and country with me? "

"What you said...but is it true?"

Zhou Yuran nodded solemnly: "Not only you, but even your captured brothers can join the Mohist army and become my subordinates."

"Why? Don't you care about our identities?" Wu Zhige still couldn't believe it.

"Since I think so, I naturally don't care about your past." Zhou Yuran asked, "I don't have any worries anymore, why are you still timid? Wouldn't it be good to follow me to achieve a great cause? Or are you unwilling?"

Wu Zhige hastily denied: "No, it's not, I just can't believe it."

Zhou Yuran hummed lightly: "The country's major affairs are the most important, and you should weigh them clearly."

Wu Zhige no longer refused, and agreed: "Wu has decided that from now on, he will march and fight with Mr. Zhou to protect his family and the country."

"Then it's settled. You can follow me back to the imperial capital tomorrow morning."

Wu Zhige clenched his fists and bowed, respectfully said: "Thank you Lord Zhou, this kindness, Wu will never forget it."

"You don't have to thank me, go back and clean up, I'm going back too."

"Master Zhou, go slowly."

Zhou Yuran turned around, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He believes that he can't misjudge people, Wu Zhige's future is limitless, and he will definitely achieve a career in the future, become his right-hand man, and even surpass himself.

As soon as Zhou Yuran returned to the residence, Su Shiqing came back.

"elder brother."

Zhou Yuran asked in surprise, "Yuke? Haven't you rested yet?"

Su Shiqing put the package in her hand on the table, and said: "You are going back to Jincheng tomorrow, and I have nothing to give away, so I made some pastries myself, and you take them with you to eat slowly on the way."

While breathing, Zhou Yuran smelled a hint of sweetness in the air, and asked curiously: "It smells so good, what kind of cake?"

Su Shiqing smiled: "Guess."

"It smells like sweet-scented osmanthus, is it sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

"The nose is really good." Su Shiqing opened the package, took out a piece and handed it to Zhou Yuran, "It's yam honey bean osmanthus cake, try it."

Zhou Yuran took a bite, the taste was soft, glutinous and sweet, and the taste permeated between his lips and teeth, it was simply delicious in the world.

“Delicious! So delicious!”

"nice! You love it."

The shadow of the lamp swayed invisible, reflecting on Su Shiqing's face, there seemed to be a sad expression.

Zhou Yuran joked, "What's the matter? You are frowning, are you reluctant to let me go?"

Su Shiqing sighed: "Of course I can't bear it."

"Hahahaha!" Zhou Yuran laughed loudly, "Do you want to go back to Jincheng with me? You haven't been back for a long time, mother misses you very much."

Su Shiqing frowned and shook her head.

Zhou Yuran seemed to have read his mind, put down the pastry, and asked: "You came so late, you didn't come here just to bring me pastries, did you? Say, what's the matter?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you." Su Shiqing hesitated, and then said: "It's about Wu Zhige."

"Wu Zhige?"

"Yes, I want to make a suggestion to you."

Zhou Yuran lowered his eyes and smiled, and said softly like a spring breeze: "I know what you want to say, do you want to let Wu Zhige join my army?"

Su Shiqing looked surprised: "How do you know?"

"Because I think the same as you."

Zhou Yuran roughly told him the content and thoughts of the conversation with Wu Zhige just now.

Su Shiqing felt that Zhou Yuran's handling was fairly fair, so she thanked him for Wu Zhige, and went back satisfied.

The next morning.

The sky was just bright, and it was turquoise, and the wind quietly floated on the treetops, raising layers of golden waves.

Zhou Yuran walked along the official road with a large group of people, followed by Su Shiqing and other people who came to see him off.

Arrived at Chengguan.

Zhou Yuran pulled the reins to stop the horse, looked at Su Shiqing and the others, bowed and said, "Everyone has worked hard, so let's send it here."

Everyone bid farewell: "Master Zhou, please take care on the way."

Wu Zhige was by Zhou Yuran's side, seeing Su Shiqing and Shao Erxue hand in hand, he couldn't help but feel sore, he pulled the horse back a step, and simply turned his head away from them.

Su Shiqing called him to stop: "Wu Zhige!"

Wu Zhige's body froze, he turned his head to look at him.

Su Shiqing walked up to him with a scroll and handed it to him: "This is for you."

Wu Zhige took the scroll and asked doubtfully, "This is...?"

"portrait."

Wu Zhige couldn't help but clenched the scroll. From now on, they might not have the chance to meet again, so Su Shiqing sent him his own portrait because he was afraid that he would miss it.

Thinking of this, his heart was overwhelmed, but he didn't dare to show it, he just smiled reluctantly: "Thank you, I accept it."

Su Shiqing nodded solemnly: "Take care of yourself!"

"You too, take care of yourself, I'm leaving."

Wu Zhige pulled the reins and forced himself to walk forward, his movements seemed chic and relaxed, but in reality he was choked up and unable to speak.He looked at the gradually fading sky, his deep eyes were full of loneliness and loneliness.

My thoughts went back to when I first met Su Shiqing, and I was deeply shocked by his belief when I heard those words he said for the first time.

He thought he had already succumbed to reality and chose a cruel way with no retreat. This was the choice he made after losing everything, but Su Shiqing did not give up on him, but persuaded him again and again, and even wanted to To wake him up.

Su Shiqing's words were like wild weeds, gradually shaking his desolate heart for many years, which made him feel uneasy and disgusted.

until that night.

He saw Su Shiqing and Shao Erxue together, and Su Shiqing looked at Shao Erxue so tenderly and affectionately... His reason finally collapsed at that moment.

Because he had never received such a gaze from anyone, his feeling was even stronger.

It was only when he lost his stronghold and his brother that he deeply realized that the choice he had made was wrong, but all the cruel things were overwhelmed and could no longer be recovered.

At this moment, Su Shiqing appeared beside him again.The dead heart revived again, he didn't want Su Shiqing to see his decadent appearance again, and he didn't want to continue living a life that violated his heart, so he proposed to join the army.It seems that only in this way can it prove to Su Shiqing that he can change for him.

However, he also knew that there was no possibility between himself and Su Shiqing.

After passing the city gate, we walked forward for a while.

Zhou Yuran suddenly drove his horse back and came to Wu Zhige's side, walking with him.

He said: "Actually, I can see that you care about Meisheng."

"Really?" Wu Zhige sighed, "But he... doesn't belong to me after all."

Zhou Yuran didn't quite understand the relationship between them, but he could feel Wu Zhige's sadness.

"Do people have to belong to someone? It doesn't have to be together to be called love. I think the most important thing is to love someone and gain strength from them. No matter what, you have to live for yourself, otherwise life How lonely and boring it must be."

Wu Zhige thought over these words carefully, and smiled, feeling relieved.

Zhou Yuran looked at the scroll in his hand and asked, "What is the painting? Open it and have a look."

Wu Zhige slowly opened the scroll, gradually revealing the true face of the portrait...

In the painting, a vigorous and elegant young man leans on a lonely pine tree, standing tall and graceful.The wide skirt is slightly open, the posture is flamboyant, the soft black hair dances with the wind, the sharp lines of the corners of the mouth are drawn all the way to the bridge of the nose, as if carved out by seals, under the thick sword eyebrows are amber-like light brown pupils, like the morning glow , with a warm smile.

The young man in the painting, the corners of the eyes and the brows of the young man are obviously full of aloofness and unruly, but he is inexplicably full of vigor, making people feel that the mood is flying, flowing and free, clear without any impurities, like the clouds in the sky, and like the wind. Fascinating.This kind of yearning, with hope for the future, makes people forget those obscure and difficult days that run counter to ideals.

The boy in the portrait is Wu Zhige when he was young.

At that time, he had the temperament of refusing arrangements and the courage to fight against injustice, all of which were brought back to life under the brush of Su Shiqing.

"It is important to know that taking Yun Zhi in a few days was once the best in the world." (Wu Qingdi's "Thirty Strategies for Little Elephants")

Wu Xingge was already in tears as he read the verses on the inscription.

Zhou Yuran restrained his expression, and said solemnly: "The farewell is long and never revealed, Meisheng is really well-intentioned!"

Wu Zhige raised his head, stared at the clouds floating in the sky, and swore secretly in his heart.

In the days to come, he will keep Su Shiqing in his heart and cherish it most.What's more, I must continue to walk with the young man in my heart, plan strategies with Zhou Yuran, protect my family and the country, and protect everyone around me with all my heart.Only in this way can she live up to Su Shiqing and herself.
