The snow in October is small and dense, and the ground is already covered with a layer of glitter.

It is already winter.

I think of Songhai in October, where there is a faintly discernible green.When I close my eyes, I can still think of that lush forest.

"Ah Zhen, what are you thinking?"

Long Qi stood beside me with his arms folded, the corners of his lips raised, and his long red hair became more and more conspicuous in the pale sunlight.

"...Song Hai."

Some kind of profound loneliness flashed across his expression, and it was only for a moment before he returned to his former calm.

"Don't think too much about the past."

He turned his back and his voice faded away.

In winter, his back is tall and straight like a proud poplar.I was always by his side, but sadly missed his growth.

In November, Xiang Yu sent Long Qie to lead his troops to rescue them all, and I mixed with the accompanying troops and followed.Only Jinse knows about this matter.She didn't stop me, but when I left, she said: "Madam, take care."

No doubt sleeping, when he wakes up he won't see me and will make a fuss, yes, he will definitely make a fuss.

But I still had to go.

I want to go to Qilu Land again.

I would love to take another look at Sanghae.

"Sure enough, you still followed."

In the tent, Long Qi shook the wine in his glass, but there was no wave in his eyes.

He was not surprised at all.

"I promise you, when this battle is over, I will take you to Songhai." Long Qi raised his hand, drank the wine, and then said slowly, "From now on, don't leave my side, not even a step Can."

"Could it be that Hush can't take a step away?" I winked and teased.

"Ah Zhen." Long Qi stared into my eyes, and said after a long time, "...you no longer have the ability to protect yourself."

The cold wind outside the camp was whistling, and only the sound of the wind remained in my ears.

I lowered my head without saying a word, and my whole body gradually became stiff. It wasn't until he got up and put the coat on me that I came back to my senses.

"Hey... I forgot."

"What did you forget?"

"Forget, I'm already useless."

For a moment, Zhengzhong, time seemed to fly between us, going round and round, and we returned to the day when we first met.

Although they were extremely embarrassed, each other did not experience too much unforgettable pain.

"Ah Zhen, I'm sorry—"

I waved my hand and interrupted him: "It's not your fault, it's my fault."

"I failed to protect you."

"What you need to protect is your king and the people of Chu." I turned my head and stared at the long-spear in his camp—the long-spear that accompanied him in the decisive battle on the battlefield, also It was on my neck coldly.

"...Ah Zhen, the war will end soon."

This sentence was said very reluctantly, and I replied blankly: "I have heard you say this sentence many times over the years."

Long Qi wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He bit his lip, his eyes stubborn, just like before.

He thought he could do it, and he never forgot his promise.

These, I have always known.

But what I didn't know was that this was our last peaceful conversation.

The allied forces of Chu and Qi confronted the Han army on both sides of the Weishui River. The main generals of the Han army were Han Xin and Guan Ying.

There were counselors in the army who offered advice, and the Han army left their hometown to participate in this battle, and had to fight desperately, so the situation was like a broken bamboo, and the edge was unstoppable.However, the Qi-Chu coalition forces were fighting at their own gates, and the soldiers tended to flee, and the morale of the army was unstable.

Instead of confronting it head-on, it is better to build deep ditches and high fortifications to defend the city, and then let the king of Qi send his confidants to appease the lost city, incite the surrendered Qi army to rebel, and make the Han army have nowhere to get food and grass. Fei Yibing won the battle with one soldier.

Long Qie disagreed.

He was once defeated by Guan Ying, and this war was particularly important to him, and it was a great opportunity to avenge his shame.

Therefore, he couldn't listen to a word of the counselor's good words and tricks.

He looked at the rolling Weishui with burning eyes, and said firmly: "I will take the head of that Han Xin, and smash that Guanying's bones into ashes."

"...Han Xin was once your brother." I reminded him coldly.

Long Qi was slightly stunned, and then resumed his usual expression: "The way is different, so we don't conspire with each other."

"General Long is really ruthless." I pouted, "...can it really be done?"

"Ah Zhen." Long Qi stretched out his hand to rub my hair, and said softly, "He is the same..."

The words came to an abrupt end.Thick melancholy, deeply sad.

War has cost us so much, but it still doesn't stop.

Later, when the cold Weishui submerged me, I didn't feel any sense of despair.

That day, Long Qie fell into Han Xin's trick, and we all fell into the water while crossing the river.And he never let go of my hand.

This world is impermanent, and those who dare to love are destined to be hurt all their lives.
