Nanping Mountain

"Ye Ze."

No one answered.

"Ye Ze! Why are you so engrossed?" Li Yu walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.

Ye Ze staggered a step, and came back to his senses, "Li Yu, what's the matter?"

"What are you looking at so fascinated? I've called you several times?" Li Yu frowned, glanced at the broken sword in his hand, and jumped, "Whose sword is this?"

"Arrogance." Ye Ze didn't want to say more.

"Nonsense, it must be noble. Let me ask you who is noble?" Li Yu looked at the idiot expression, "The sword is broken, where is the person?"

"Run away." Ye Ze frowned, and casually stuffed the broken sword back into the scabbard.

"Fuck, there are still people under you who can escape, who is it?" Li Yu became interested, "The sword is broken, is that person injured?"

"...Bai Jing." Ye Ze glanced at Wuwang City, and suddenly said, "Call everyone, and evacuate Nanping immediately."

"She ran away from your hand, are you not hurt?" Li Yu looked him up and down, and couldn't help being stunned when he heard the second sentence, "Evacuate, why?"

"Bai Jing has run away, so he will definitely notify the mighty soldiers from the two cities of Cangshan and Baling to come." Ye Ze's eyes flickered when he heard this, his words were light, and he turned and left, "Although Nanping Mountain is ours, but if we occupy it now That's right, this position is being flanked by front and back, get out as soon as possible, don't lose your wife and lose your army again."

"Hey, no, wait a minute! Then why are you rushing to visit Nanping Mountain?" Li Yu stroked his chin and walked quickly to his side.

"Disturb the morale of the army, take away their base camp, and damage morale." Ye Ze was silent, and continued, "What's more, we have almost no losses this time. The next step is to formally attack Baling and Qutang Gorge."

"Tsk, why don't you say you're a military adviser." Li Yu nodded and said, "If you want me to say, your previous strategy was really good, and Bai Jing really got the trick. Hey, it's a pretty trick, a pretty trick."

"Li Yu, it's better to be serious when talking about business." Ye Ze's voice turned cold, and he got on his horse.

"Don't tell me, I was just joking." Li Yu tapped his forehead and rode his horse to follow, "I apologize to you, Grand Master, you are unparalleled in resourcefulness."

"There is no need to mention this matter in the future." Ye Ze closed his eyes and galloped away.

=========================

Two months later, Haoqi League lost Qutangxia Rapids Wharf, Wuliangshan Frost Gobi, and Jinshui Town Qingyunwu.The division of power between the two warring parties was maintained at risk. Because of the Nanping Mountain incident, the morale of the Haoqi League was low, and the routine meeting was also somewhat lifeless.

After the meeting, everyone got up and left one after another. Xie Yuan sat in his seat and pressed his forehead, with a worried look on his face.

"Leader." Bai Jing, who didn't say a word during the meeting, came forward from the corner and saluted the seated people.

Xie Yuan looked up at her, she looked very calm, so calm that she couldn't see any emotion, like a marionette, he paused and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The fall of Nanping Mountain is my responsibility." Bai Jing cut to the point, "People in the Valley of the Wicked know that our alliance is deploying defenses, so they are so powerful that they even destroyed Nanping Wuwang City."

"What do you mean?" Xie Yuan's face turned cold, "Be clear from the beginning to the end."

……

What Bai Jing said was simple and direct, Xie Yuan frowned more and more, but he never interrupted.

"Bai Jing knows that he has made a big mistake, and is willing to commit suicide and apologize." Bai Jing's expression was calm, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter.

"Self-judgment and apology?" Xie Yuan was silent for a long time, and then said for a while, "Bai Jing, you were also kept in the dark about this matter, and you didn't do it on purpose." Bar."

"I hope to follow Miss Keren and be her guard, please allow the leader." Bai Jing bowed and said firmly.

Xie Yuan glanced at her, and waved his hand tiredly, "Go if you want."

========================

months later

"Bai Jing, you're not in good health yet, don't come out to blow air." Keren put the cloak on her body, and said helplessly, "You have been seriously ill since you came back from Nanping Mountain, and you should take a good rest."

"I'm fine." Bai Jing closed his cloak, "For Nanping Mountain, I should have died to apologize, but after thinking about it, I should save my life to make up for it."

"Why do you have to take the responsibility on yourself?" Keren sighed, "That matter is not—"

"I believed it." Bai Jing cut off her words impolitely, "If I hadn't said the deployment of troops in the alliance, the Valley of the Wicked would definitely not be able to reap these benefits."

"They have all been buried." Ke Ren said, "Bai Jing, do you want to go back?"

"Where is it?" Bai Jing asked subconsciously.

"Nanping Mountain, those who died in the battle in Wuwang City have all been buried in the ground. Do you want to go back?" Keren looked at her worriedly.

"I have no face to face them, I am a sinner." Bai Jing turned away with a wry smile, "I am an accomplice."

"Do you want to live in guilt for the rest of your life?" Keren shook his head regretfully, "Bai Jing is not like the old you at all!"

"The old me, huh." Bai Jing closed his eyes, "The old me was already buried in Nanping Mountain, where the ground was covered in blood that day."

"You want to say goodbye to the past, or you want to torture yourself forever like this." Ke Ren said, "Go back to Nanping Mountain, start there, and make a choice there."

"……it is good."

===============================

"Uncle Lin, when I said goodbye that day, I thought that I would be back soon, but it was just a temporary farewell, and I didn't want it to be a farewell. The little girl who has been worrying you all the time has not fully grown up after all, and she has failed you. expectations, and even created..."

Bai Jing knelt in front of the tomb, closed his eyes, took the wine glass beside him and filled it up.

"This cup, I respect you and apologize to you, I came back late."

She raised her head and gulped it down. The hot liquid burned her throat, choking her almost to tears.She coughed a few times and filled another glass, "This one, please." She raised her hand and turned it over, and the wine dripped on the ground in front of the tomb, dripped on the grass, and would never fall, reflecting the colorful glass in the sunlight. Light traces, clear and exquisite, like the state of mind at this moment.

She has always known a truth.Her pain will only make loved ones hurt, and enemies will be quickened.Originally, she believed that she would not fall into this situation because she was transparent and open-minded, but she never thought that one day she would be deeply involved in it.It was only then that I realized that it was difficult to get out of such pain.On the one hand, she was persuading herself time and time again to let go of everything and stop torturing herself; on the other hand, the images of Nanping Mountain being covered in blood and the corpses of the mighty brothers were constantly recurring in her mind, telling her that she was a sinner and should not be tolerated. forgive.Wandering in the torn between these two nearly split thoughts all day long, she doesn't know what she should do.

Revenge?Not to mention that they have just experienced a fierce battle, and both sides are no longer able to use their swords.Even if revenge is avenged, those who died will never open their eyes again.What's the point of endless killing again and again?

He is an enemy.

At that time, she was full of grief and indignation, and she didn't care to think about it. Now that she thinks about the scene at that time, she can feel his pain and helplessness. She can't pretend to be indifferent.

He originally planned on her wholeheartedly, but he never thought that he would also fall into the trap.She was heartbroken when she knew the truth, but he was always aware of the final result, but he still insisted on keeping the memories. If he got it, he was doomed to lose it. Would it be better than never getting it?No one can know in advance what kind of choice is the most correct. They can only rely on themselves to explore, and every step is irreversible.

"Sometimes, don't have too many scruples, don't imagine the future that is too far away, don't fix yourself in certain constraints, don't have to be so vigilant all the time. Some things, if you don't try it, how will you know? "

"I don't want to be involved in the turmoil in the rivers and lakes. I don't like disputes, and I don't want to live a life of intrigue and intrigue forever. I think it's good to be able to live in a quiet corner in the Tibetan Sword Villa."

"Short-term letting go is not cowardice and evasion."

"It is impossible for a person to have only one identity in his life. Before you inherit and shoulder your responsibilities, remember that you still have yourself."

"I, if—"

"I'll be with you from now on, okay?"

……

Was he comforting her, or was he trying to convince himself?

Don't want to participate in the turmoil in the rivers and lakes?Perhaps at that moment, he sincerely hoped that he was not from the Valley of the Wicked.Let go of your identity for a short time, and let yourself do what you want in the limited time.There is wine today, and she is drunk today, but she is unwilling to be such a person who is drunk for a short time.Sober people tend to suffer more, but are more likely to make fewer mistakes.

For half a day in the mountains, she tried the edge of the sword with her fingers, but he subconsciously stopped him, stretching out his hand and then retracting it.

Nothing can pretend to be perfect without a single flaw.There are some subconscious actions that have no time to think about the reaction at all, only sincerity.

sincere.His sincerity, his concerns, his feelings.

He hesitated to speak several times, but she didn't care much at that time, she only thought that his mind was the same as hers, wanting to be close and reserved, so he became twisted.Thinking about it, it was caused by many battles between heaven and man in his heart.Maybe he also felt guilty towards her, but after weighing it, he still chose his own responsibility.

Responsibility has always come before feelings.

As he is, so will she.

Not everything can be chosen, sometimes it has to be done.

It's just that she probably wouldn't choose this way, let alone let herself like someone she shouldn't like.

Maybe you shouldn't hate, but you will never forgive.

The Nanping Mountain battle had completely severed the bond between the two.

Bai Jing walked aimlessly, and unknowingly arrived at Dianjiangtai. Not far away, there was a new blue-clothed guard standing with a gun. His posture was straight, and he looked no different from before.There have been several torrential rains in the past two months, and the traces of blood left earlier have been washed away without a trace.

It was as if everything had passed and disappeared without a trace.She didn't seem to have any reason to suppress and torment herself any longer, maybe it would be a better result for her to forget about this matter.

The autumn wind was bleak, and there was no one on the stage.

She looked far and wide, and the distant mountains were like daisy. She unexpectedly remembered the night of Qixi Festival, when there was a huge crowd, they lit a lantern in a secluded corner of the West Lake and made a wish.At that time, his smile was gentle but subdued. Thinking about it, he had already arranged the overall situation at that time, and he just waited for the opportunity. Qixi Festival was just an excuse, but he wanted to leave memories.

"At the beginning of spring in the next year, the red plum blossoms are in full bloom, and the red plums are in the snow. It is a wonderful sight in the villa. On that day, I will accompany you to enjoy the scenery."

"When the affairs of the alliance are over, I will come back, enjoy the scenery with you, and then swim in the West Lake."

The words of expectations from that day are still in my ears, and Bai Jing smiled self-deprecatingly.

The red plums in the snow of Cangjian Villa, the green mountains and clear waters of Xiaoyao Peak in Kunlun, I am afraid I will never see them again.As for the rapeseed fields in Baling and the sunrise in Chunyang Palace, you probably will never see them again.

"Ah Jing, I'll wait for you."

wait for her.Waiting for a future that will not bear fruit, waiting for a promise that is doomed to be empty, waiting for her choice after knowing the truth, and finally waiting for her decisive sword after learning from the pain.

That night, his kiss was as light as a feather on her forehead, which was extremely cherished.At that time, she didn't know that what she was about to face was a breakup, she was still a girl's mind, her heart was beating like a drum, but thinking about it now, it suddenly seemed like a dream in the past.

Ye Ze, I only hope that your wishes come true.

When setting off the lanterns, the wish she made piously seemed to have come true.His wish was fulfilled, and he has nothing to do with her ever since.

She sighed, smiled, and turned back to the stronghold.

============================

Huashan is full of snow, and people walk on the snow with a series of deep and shallow footprints.

Huashan is precipitous, different from the small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River. It is not interesting, but the mood is already different.

Ye Ze found a big rock near the Sword Discourse Arena and sat down, holding a long sword in his hand, the scabbard had delicate patterns, and a delicate plum blossom was engraved on the hilt.He drew the sword out of its sheath, brushed the blade with his fingers, gently and gently, as if treating a supreme treasure, his expression was so focused that he didn't seem to be looking at the sword, but just in a trance.

The entourage who followed him looked at all this, quite puzzled.Ordinarily, I have traveled thousands of miles to Huashan to enjoy the scenery, but this way, the young master doesn't seem to be looking at the scenery at all, but like remembering, but who would miss a place that has never been before?And the sword, the sword was originally broken in two, and I don't know what evil the young master had, so he was locked in the sword hut all day, just to repair a broken sword.Although the material of this sword is high-grade, it is not necessary to put so much effort into pretending to be someone else. There are many swordsmiths in the villa, but he insists on repairing the sword by himself, and then brings it with him every day. It's not surprising that you don't use it.

Ye Ze's fingers paused at the joint of the broken sword, traced along the trace carefully, with a melancholy and gentle smile on his lips.

The sword has been broken, no matter how carefully it is repaired, it will eventually leave scratches.Once some things happen, no matter how hard it is to undo, even if the wounds are healed, they cannot be as good as before.

"This sword has been broken. From now on, between you and me, there will be no relationship between you and me, and there will be no relationship between you and me!"

On that day, he saw her in pain, angry and disappointed, and finally turned into determination, cutting off everything.

As always, crisp and neat, never muddled.For example, she once said frankly that day that once Haoqimeng is driven, she will definitely go there.

He has long understood that in her heart, the Haoqi League is irreplaceable and more important than anything else, even her life.

From the beginning, I knew that I shouldn't be careful and emotional, but I didn't expect that I would lose in the end, and I lost to myself.

He didn't know when he started to care about her, when he started to keep her in his heart, when he would suddenly fantasize about the scene when the truth was revealed in the future, he didn't dare to think about what kind of decision it would be... ...I don't know when he started to let himself like her, not thinking about the final result, just obeying his heart.

"I need someone who will accompany me to watch the sunrise and sunset, drink wine and enjoy the snow."

The first joke, he said it without any worries, just to dispel her doubts and relax her vigilance, it was just a small step in the strategy, and he didn't even mind when he said it himself.But he was really moved, but he didn't dare to promise lightly, and the jokes that he could come up with at the beginning were all buried in his heart.That day, when she sat on the horseback and asked him condescendingly when he would come back, he was really in a daze, thinking that she was like a wife waiting for her husband to come home, complaining very delicately.

Knowing that using his heart and emotion, what he got in exchange was nothing more than a dream, but he still refused to look back. He has never regretted this result.

There are many things that are never judged whether they are worthwhile or not, but whether they are willing or not.

On the night of Qixi Festival, he made a wish just like her, wishing her a safe and smooth life, and there will be no wind and rain in the future.

He was the one who made her happy, and it seemed that he was the one who hurt her the most.

Gave her hope, and gave her the most painful knife.

As early as the confrontation at Nanping Mountain, they were already separated by blood and life.

Seeing her sincere joy, he once thought about stopping this plan and telling all of this, but after all he didn't, and he shouldn't.He can't make any decisions easily, and he can't be at a loss, and he can't let his freedom go.

Reason and responsibility should always come before feelings.

Maybe one day, she will think about it, maybe when she stands in such a position, she will think about it, but she will never be able to forgive.If he were to change places, he would also be unforgivable.

The more sober you are, the more painful you will be. Reason has never allowed people to indulge.

He can't wait for that person, can't wait for that person to drink with him and enjoy the snow.

He took out a small jade gourd, raised his head and took a sip.The wine tastes mellow and strong, and it has a sweet taste when it rolls down the throat, but it is extremely hot when it enters the abdomen.

He smiled, still looking cheerful and open-minded, but the posture of sitting alone revealed a bit of loneliness and loneliness.
