ghost city

The bronze chariot rumbled across the wilderness, all the way south.This chariot is driven by ghost power, and it travels thousands of miles a day like waiting for leisure, and it arrives in Daliang in a short time.

Shimmering its splendor, bright beams.

Now the country has changed, the king has changed, and the old Liang is gone forever.The land in front of me has become a small county of the Qin Empire - Junyi County.

The dream has long been shattered, but some people are still unwilling to wake up.

With a sneer on the corner of Azi's mouth, he glanced at Wei Ling, and said in his heart: "The beam you've been thinking about is now the land of the Qin Dynasty. Are you still so unwilling?"

Wei Ling didn't notice the girl's strange gaze, but just drove into the city.

The two found an inn to park their carriages and horses, and then went out to the street.

The long streets are long, the cars and horses are rattling, the flow of people is endless, and the merchants are gathering. Daliang City seems to have regained its former prosperity, but it has always lost some taste.The Great Qin rejuvenated the country with the law, and the law system was very strict. Although the current Daliang is also prosperous, but under the strict law and strict control, after all, it lacks the intoxicating charm of elegance.

After Wei Ling entered the city, he didn't say a word.He silently walked through the crowds, his eyes swept across the long street, passed by the shops, and looked at the vendors, but he didn't stop there.Those blue eyes lacked the usual coldness and sharpness, the eyes were scattered, and the pupils seemed to have no focus, a little bit empty, as if everything was contained, and everything seemed to be out of sight.

Seeing his expression, Ah Zi couldn't help being a little annoyed, the man remained silent, as if he thought she didn't exist.He was in the mood to visit the old capital, but he didn't have the mood.

An icy and clear object flashed into her eyes, and she couldn't help but stop.

"The girl is born with snow skin and beautiful appearance, this hairpin is just right for you." The peddler beside the stall greeted warmly.

It was a long and slender jade hairpin, the head of which was carved into the pattern of a phoenix.She held the hairpin and stared at it. At that moment, memories surged into her heart.

That year, she was fifteen.

She still remembered the snow jade ice hairpin that Wei Ling gave her. The head of the hairpin was an elegant plum blossom. The whole hairpin was carved out of ice, so transparent that it didn't contain any impurities. Even wearing it on the head could feel the coolness, which made people suddenly Jue Lingtai is cleared, and the five aggregates are clear.

She has always treasured it, even after becoming Yingmei, she still keeps it with her.

It's just that he didn't expect that the ice hairpin would be destroyed by Wei Ling in the end.

Although the hairpin in front of me looks a bit like it, it is not the original after all.Once some things are lost, they can never be held in hand again, and there is nothing that can replace them.

"I said girl, after looking at it for a long time, do you want to buy it or not?" The peddler's voice suddenly sounded, showing a little impatient.

Her consciousness was recalled all of a sudden, she was embarrassed, she searched all over her body, but she couldn't find a copper coin.

"I bought it for her." A cold voice sounded beside her ears, and Wei Ling was already standing by her side at some point.

He handed a copper coin to the peddler, picked up the ice hairpin and handed it to the girl, and said lightly, "Do you like it?"

The girl raised her head and caught a glimpse of the faint smile on the corner of his mouth, for some reason, she felt restless for some reason.

"No more." She prevaricated a word, didn't pick up the hairpin, and walked away as if fleeing.

"Hey, I said this girl..." The peddler looked at the back of the one who left in a hurry, with a helpless expression on his face.

"Sorry, I won't buy this hairpin, but you can keep the money." Wei Ling apologized, left some money, and turned to look for the girl.

The peddler was stunned for a long time, and when he looked down at the copper coin in his hand, he couldn't help being startled, and exclaimed: "My mother, it's a hell of a day!" The one lying on the palm was not Daqin's copper coin with a square hole, but a banned one. Coins of the State of Wei - square foot cloth.

Hearing the yelling far away into his ears, Wei Ling smiled helplessly, and quickly caught up with the girl.

A Zi barely suppressed the irritability and confusion that was rising in her heart, left Wei Ling behind, and hurried forward.

Wei Ling went up to hold her shoulder, and said lightly: "Okay, don't wander around. Follow me to a place."

************************

The dilapidated house and the collapsed stone walls have long lost sight of the style of the former Prince's Mansion.After becoming a water ghost, he used his power to protect this courtyard, so that the Young Master's Mansion could survive.Ordinary people can't see it at all.

The remaining house is actually just a corner of the Prince's Mansion, and even the garden is half a ruined garden.But upon careful observation, the layout of this courtyard is somewhat similar to that of the Red Thorn Court.

Wei Ling groped the dusty courtyard wall, wondering what he was thinking.The stains from the flooding in those years can be vaguely seen on the wall, as if scars have been deeply burned on people's hearts.

A Zi leaned against an arch with arms folded, and looked at him coldly.I felt that he touched all the remaining pavilions, grass and stones in the courtyard, but he didn't say a word.

"Wei Ling," the girl's slightly sarcastic voice came to mind again, she stared at him with the corners of her mouth upturned, "Wei State has been dead for nearly ten years, haven't you woke up from your dream?"

Her eyes swept behind him, with a bit of malice, a bit of sarcasm, and even a bit of gloating.

The slender figure just trembled slightly, and there was no further reaction.

The girl didn't care, she changed her posture, and said again: "Actually, I'm also curious sometimes. You endured humiliation in Youwang City, succumbed to others, fought for years, and wandered, just to revive the Wei Kingdom and become a king?"

"But you, a water ghost, even if you regain your country and become a king, what can you do? You don't have a human body, so how can you pass on the family and continue the country?"

"A prince who is despised and stigmatized, whose family is ruined and his relatives and friends are scattered, even if he regains his country, who will recognize it? Who can you share your glory and joy with?"

The girl's words came to his ears one after another, those painful memories seemed to be stirred up again, he clutched his chest tightly, as if he wanted to suppress it.

After a long silence, Wei Ling slowly turned around and looked directly at the girl.He stood with his hands behind his back, the cold wind blowing across his cheeks, raising his hair, his eyes were as calm as clear water.His eyes were sparse, with a sense of indifference that rejected people thousands of miles away.

"What I do has nothing to do with others, and I don't ask for anything in return." His tone was alienated and indifferent, "In fact, sometimes I don't know what I'm obsessed with." His eyes darkened, his eyelashes drooped slightly, and he turned his head away, "Maybe it's just for the obsession in my heart."

"Xiaoyou, in fact, you don't have to ask the reason for everything. It's just that you are in that position, so you do it. There are many people who have worked hard to pursue it all their lives, and have gone through hardships, but in the end they have nothing. But I don't think it's a pity. Do your best first, then leave to God's will, no matter what the result is, at least I don't regret it."

"If it weren't for this obsession, I don't seem to have any need to exist. So, do you understand?" He looked at the girl again, his expression softened a little, "I think you understand, otherwise, you are so If you despise your current status, why do you still have to sacrifice your life for Qin?"

Those words were like a needle, provoking her pain one by one.She wanted to ridicule him, but he pointed out her pain, and her heart was in a trance.

It turned out that he had already seen clearly, and it was himself who couldn't let go.

Wei Ling walked past her and said, "Let's go. I just want to see this place. After seeing it, I don't have much to miss it. What's in the past is also in the past."
