Zhan Jin thought that kneeling like this was not an option, so he wanted to get up and get an umbrella again. As a result, Wei Yueyan's hand that usually held a bow and a sword was now so soft that it seemed as if a bone had been pulled out. Slip into standing water.Zhan Jin had no choice but to stand beside her and the two of them squeezed together. After all, she herself is not strong, especially as they are martial arts practitioners with strong resistance. Usually, there are no minor illnesses and pains. The illness went away like a thread, and the two of them were sick and unconscious when they turned back, but they couldn't count on that guy Luchen to take care of them.

"Zhan Jin."

When Zhan Jin heard the words, he turned his head and looked, he really wanted to come here, just thinking about that girl Lu Chen came, not only did she come, but she also brought an umbrella.Zhan Jin suddenly felt that Lvchen had never been so pleasing to the eye today.She took the umbrella from Lvchen, propped it up for herself and Wei Yueyan, and then asked: "Take the food back and put it in my room. I took two bites at noon, and I haven't eaten a single grain of rice until now." .”

Lu Shen nodded in response, glanced at the general and hurried away again, turned a few corners until the hem of her emerald green dress embroidered with phoenix immortals completely disappeared in the rain, a figure stepped out from the darkness, looking thoughtfully He glanced at the direction she had come from.

One spring rain and one warm, but the spring is cold, and the root of the disease in the bones of the battlefield is completely vulnerable to the cold wind and rain in the evening.Zhan Jin's own calf bones are already a bit unbearable, and Wei Yueyan's lips, which are usually not a little red due to the vitality of Qi and blood, have been turned purple from the cold. It is normal to think about it. Who can cover the rain from the sky? But her knees were always soaked in the standing water on the ground, and if she knelt down like this, the general would soon fall ill in bed, and she would no longer have to face those people or things that disturbed her.

Thinking of this, Zhan Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at the general who was not too miserable at the moment. Could this be the general's bitter trick? ?Just when she began to figure out Wei Yueyan's true intentions, the person who was about to freeze into an ice corpse finally spoke, and a cloud of warm mist spit out from her trembling throat.

"Zhan Jin."

"Subordinates are here."

"We... have lived till now, why?" Wei Yueyan could not speak fluently, apart from the rapid blood flow in her skull to provide heat, half of her face from the eyebrows and eyes was almost unconscious.

Zhan Jin was not as cold as she was, and he spoke quite fluently: "Find out the bandits who abandoned the army in Southern Xinjiang and avenge the masters and young masters."

"Years of investigations have yielded nothing...but if...as long as you abandon...principles, falsely accuse Qu Quan in...the court, and retract the confession for the son-in-law...then you will know the whereabouts of that bastard...how do you choose?" Wei Yueyan's eye sockets were reddened by the rain, she looked up slowly, Zhan Jin only felt a punch in the chest, and he didn't know if the content of the words was too incredible, or because of Wei Yueyan at this time. Like a bloodthirsty demon spirit, its beauty is shocking.

"General, could it be that Princess Zhaoren...?"

"..." Wei Yueyan nodded slowly without saying a word.

Zhan Jin punched the palm of his hand, and the rainwater accumulated on the umbrella area trembled and rolled down in all directions. This was even more of a proposition than a proposition.She knows her general too well, if "sheng" and "righteousness" are placed at the two ends of the balance, there is no suspense about Wei Yueyan's answer.But now the weight on the "life" side has been replaced with "filial piety", and then it will fight against "righteousness", no matter which one you choose, it will make Wei Yueyan want to die.

She looked at Wei Yueyan with red eyes and pale face, thinking that this silly girl chose "righteousness".Zhan Jin suddenly wanted to look up to the sky and laugh out loud. I'm afraid everyone in Jinling would take this as a joke.Li Zi is a master of power, and the Twelve Guards General who was able to unjustly kill Zhongliang in order to clear the roadblocks for himself, actually imitated the ancient sages and began to become a saint.

"Zhan Jin..." Wei Yueyan's voice suddenly became weeping, "What do you think?"

At first, Zhan Jin thought she had heard it wrong, until Wei Yueyan swallowed and continued to say the following, she realized that this girl who has long been accustomed to life and death, even if gold and iron are indestructible, actually cried.

"Do you think... I'm a bad person?" Wei Yueyan's voice became lower and lower, so low that she could hardly hear it, but Zhan Jin heard it.

"General, you just chose your own path, how can you say you are a bad guy."

Not a bad guy, not a good guy either.

Zhan Jin sighed. Over the years, Wei Yueyan has indeed done many shady things in order to consolidate his power.Otherwise, there would not be such a deadly enemy as Qu Quan. When the two met each other, they had already held high positions in the temple and held great power. Similar tight.

In fact, Zhan Jin doesn't know either, since his hands are not clean, why is he so serious about this matter?She followed Wei Yueyan, and Wu Jun also knew about Huo Yuan's report.At that time, what Wei Yueyan learned was not as shocking as what was discovered in the dry well later, but it was all murder in essence, wasn't it?The ups and downs of the officialdom, the endless struggles, the blood of the victim mixed with the undercurrent and seeped into the invisible place underground, why did he oppose his goal and even give up his family hatred for a dead person who had never met before in a case? Woolen cloth?

Probably, because this crime has already covered the sky, it is impossible to ignore it...

Probably, because the blood of those who died in vain was too clean, they died so innocently...

Probably, because most of the dead were mothers who were pregnant with Liujia...

"Zhan Jin, do you think it's worth it for me to do this?" Wei Yueyan asked again, the warmth in her eyes kept rolling down, mixed with the cold rain on her face, the contradiction was very much like her state of mind at the moment .

"It's worth it." Zhan Jin gave her an affirmative answer, "The general's heart will not let the general do things that are not worth it. It's just—"

"It's just... what?" Wei Yueyan swallowed with difficulty. She looked at the closed door in the rain, wondering if the person behind the door had woken up long ago, but she didn't want to face the gaze of her asking for help. He refused to speak out for a long time.

Zhan Jin sighed, "In the eyes of the world, the general will always be just a hero with great achievements. How many people will know the sacrifice like today?"

Wei Yueyan was silent for a moment, let out a long breath of relief, and shook his head indifferently.

Who can know?

Nobody needs to know.

The heavy rain was pouring, and the bamboo and cypresses planted in the courtyard were all rustled by the rain. Under the dark and gloomy sky, they could no longer distinguish their original green appearance.With the help of Zhan Jin, Wei Yueyan got up very slowly, but the blood stagnated in the legs that had been kneeling for a long time, and the numbness was unbearable. In the stagnant water, there was a splash of water.From a distance, only two white-faced bamboo bone umbrellas can be seen twirling helplessly in the rain.

For as long as they struggled to stand up, Ling Qiufan at the corner outside the courtyard watched for so long.

The rain was pouring down all over the sky, Ling Qiufan stood there motionless, the autumn water in his eyes couldn't be seen clearly under the rain curtain, there seemed to be a few crystals in the haze, no one knew whether it was an illusion rendered by the mole at the corner of his eye , or the tacit understanding fermented in the hidden and invisible bottom of my heart.

--------------

In order not to let Ling Qiufan find out, Wei Yueyan had no choice but to take a bath in Zhanjin's room, then change into quick clothes, dragged her hair that was even more black and lustrous after being soaked in water, and walked slowly to the door of her room with a sword in her hand Before, as soon as he raised his hand, the door opened in response.

Ling Qiufan was dressed in a frost-colored dark dress, covered with a water-blue shirt, with half-dried black hair tied in a few buns casually on the top of his head, and he looked like he had just finished taking a bath.On weekdays, Ling Qiufan is well-dressed both inside and outside, Wei Yueyan is the first time to see Ling Qiufan dressed so homely, with Ling Qiufan's rosy cheeks showing a coquettish attitude.

"The general is drenched in the rain? Why don't you come in." Ling Qiufan went into the room without looking at her after finishing speaking. Wei Yueyan quickly closed his eyes and closed the door, and followed Ling Qiufan slowly. Into the green yarn cabinet.

Early summer is about to usher in, the pillow mat has already been covered with jade mats, Wei Yueyan's bedroom is outside the green gauze cabinet, and Ling Qiufan's bedroom is in the green gauze cabinet, usually there is nothing wrong with Wei Yueyan into the back room.Although the husband and wife could not be called offending, Wei Yueyan was afraid of provoking Ling Qiufan's displeasure, so she kept doing so.That's why when Wei Yueyan stepped into the inner room and saw the familiar hanging ornaments between the bed curtains, he suddenly woke up, but his body seemed to still have the numbness from the rain, and he seemed to be at a loss as he retreated clumsily.

"General." Ling Qiufan hurriedly stepped forward to support her, shaking his head, "You might as well stay and have dinner together."

While talking, a smell of food spread into Wei Yueyan's nose, seeing that she was still a little dazed, Ling Qiufan couldn't say much more, "I made all these dishes." He pressed Wei Yueyan on the chair while speaking. , scooped up a bowl of ginseng dumpling soup for her with his own hands, "There has been a lot of rain recently, and it is inevitable that the damp and cold will enter the body. Drinking more ginger is good for the body."

Wei Yueyan took the bowl from Ling Qiufan, looked at the round and white rounds and other brightly colored food in it, felt a pang of soreness in his heart for no reason, and radiated to the whole body along the blood vessels all over the limbs and bones. Warmth welled up in the eye sockets.

"Ma'am..." Wei Yueyan stared down at the Yuanzitang, but did not touch the spoon for a long time.

"Huh?" Afraid of her embarrassment, Ling Qiufan deliberately avoided her losing her composure at the moment, and picked up some fish on her own, the chopsticks turned a corner halfway and fell into the plate in front of Wei Yueyan.

"If..." Wei Yueyan hesitated for a while, as if she had made up her mind, the words finally jumped out of her throat, but she blocked the doorway hesitantly: "Nothing." She faced the bowl with difficulty Squeeze out a smile, "Let's eat, this is the first time I eat the dishes cooked by my wife."

Ling Qiu glanced at her, his long and narrow eyes were filled with a thin red that was about to weep, as if they had been dyed with a layer of natural rouge, instead of the fierce color of the past, it was overflowing with the affection that was once carefully feared to be perceived by others. .

Wei Yueyan didn't use a spoon, just drank it all from a bowl, and was searching for words to compliment her wife, when a long-handled spoon filled with a few white and exquisite balls was handed over to her eyes, and Ling Qiufan was at the top Eliminate ice and snow, Hengbo's gentle eyebrows and eyes.

"I trust the general."

"No matter what the general does, there is a reason for the general."

"One's own path, as long as it is worthy of one's own heart, does not need anyone's understanding."

"Besides—" She scooped those exquisite round balls into a bowl that was glowing with crystal clear water. When the white porcelain collided together, they made a crisp sound, like a star shining brightly after the clouds collected and the rain cleared like a mirror. night firmament.

"Even if no one in the world can understand, I am willing to understand. Even if no one in the world will know, I know."

There was a slap, the sound of water dripping into the soup.

Wei Yueyan finally couldn't hold back, and shed tears in front of his wife.
