what a good man

hair, softly said, "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.

I am stubborn

water.

water.

water……

In all directions, there is water.

He wanted to open his eyes, open his mouth to breathe, he wanted to escape from all of this, but there was water all around him.

There was simply nowhere for him to escape.

"Xiaolong, Xiaolong, wake up—"

Long Xiu's anxious voice came from beside his ears, and Long Qie opened his eyes in a trance, just in time to meet Long Xiu's worried eyes.

"elder brother."

He let out a soft cry, then wiped his face, which was also covered with water—or tears.

"Xiaolong, don't fall asleep in the bathtub in the future, you will catch a cold."

Long Xiu exhorted with concern, then stretched out his hand and stroked his wet hair, with a little love in his eyes.

"Yes, I understand."

Long Qie took the handkerchief from Long Xiu and wiped off the water on his face.

"Today is Mother's Memorial Day, Dad went out alone... Xiaolong, don't think too much." Long Xiu patted him on the shoulder, then turned and walked out.

The steps are very light, but the heart is heavy.

Long Qi watched Long Xiu's straight and slender back disappear, and watched the black wooden door being gently closed, tears welled up in his eyes.

He folded his arms, buried his face in his knees, and bit the corners of his lips, trying not to cry out.

"Mother's memorial day... is also my sister's memorial day."

Excessive tears spilled between his fingers, and his shoulders shook with violent sobs.

...he couldn't forgive himself.

You can never forgive yourself.

When Long Qie was eight years old, his father Long Yuan and elder brother Long Xiu led the Tenglong Legion to go to other countries. When he was young, he accompanied his mother at home and waited for their triumphant return.

Soon it was his birthday, and that day he had been clamoring to go boating on the lake - his elder brother had promised him, but this time his elder brother broke his promise, because the military order was like a mountain.

In November, not long after the New Year, the weather was very cold. Although it was already winter, the sun was still shining brightly.

He turned his face sideways, and his mother's smile became brighter and brighter in the sunlight.

He looked forward with joy to the fact that he would soon have a sister.

Dragon who knew the news was happier than anyone else.

"She must be my sister." He firmly believed in this.

"But what if it's the younger brother?" Mother asked him with a smile, "You can't be so sure, can you?"

He frowned beautifully, and didn't say anything for a long time, and finally said sullenly: "Then raise him as a younger sister."

"Xiaolong, do you want your sister so much?"

"Yeah." He nodded, and seriously assured, "I will definitely be a good brother, even better than Brother Long Xiu."

He also promised Long Yuan and Long Xiu that he would take good care of his mother and his unborn younger sister.

——in the name of a man, speaking so loudly.

However, he missed the appointment.

When he was picked up from the river, when he saw his mother's face that was so cold that there was no blood, he knew that those beautiful eyes would never be opened.

If it wasn't because he insisted on going on a boat trip, if it wasn't because he fell into the river because of his fun, mother would not have fallen into the water because of saving him, and even lost her life.

He will never forget how cold the water is in winter.

He was drenched all over, lying beside his mother tremblingly, and tremblingly took out a comb from his arms.

It was a finely crafted comb, which he planned to give to his sister as a meeting gift.

Girls have to have long, long hair to look good, he thought.The comb was carved by himself, and he thought his sister would like it very much, very much.

It's just that we haven't met yet, but we have said goodbye.

The dragon became very afraid of water.

Being in the water, he felt that at any moment he would be swallowed by the water, lose consciousness and never wake up.

His best brother is his young master, Xiang Yu from the Xiang clan of Chu State.

Xiang Yu is afraid of heights, and dragons are afraid of water.

Long Qi often sat on a tall tree and watched Xiang Yu swim in the river.Two people would unceremoniously mock each other as cowards, but never fell for each other's accusations and provocations.

He jumped down from the tree and bathed himself in bright sunlight.

He lowered his head and saw a shadow under him, the corners of his upturned mouth suddenly stiffened, and his heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the valley.

Even if it is completely in the sun, there will be a shadow under the body, which is a place that even light cannot reach.

Until later, he met Ji Zhen, and he regarded her as his salvation.

Ji Zhen's appearance was more like a farce, but it woke him up from a nightmare, a nightmare he thought he would never wake up from.

"I'm not an assassin, I just passed by here and was hunted down here by people from your house, but I can't unlock your acupoints for the time being." She hesitated and explained, with sincerity and helplessness in her eyes but no fear.

He didn't care about her words, but he was thinking, how could this guy even click the acupuncture points crookedly?

She climbed out of the tub, and the rising water splashed on his face, he was a little helpless - he was completely naked, and he didn't know how much she had seen - girl, this is the responsibility of him = =

With her back to him, she took off her soaked clothes.He has always pursued fairness, and he never prides himself on being a gentleman. Then he turned around with great interest, and watched the whole process of her changing clothes intently—even though his back was only facing her, he still felt that this wave was not bad.

"...I caught you." She didn't even fasten her belt, and was fixed by his acupuncture points.

Seeing that she was obviously nervous, he pretended to be calm and asked, "How did you unlock the acupuncture points?"

He laughed and said, "Maybe you were too nervous, so you didn't hit the spot at all."

"Then why didn't you hand me over to those people just now?" Ji Zhen sighed angrily, "In vain I always claimed to be invincible in acupuncture and archery, but today I fell into the hands of a red-haired boy like you."

"I just think that if I hand you over to them, I won't have anything to play with." He said slowly, "I can interrogate you slowly and torture you slowly."

"...You put on your clothes first." Her eyes moved down slowly, and she calmed down when she saw that he was wearing a bath towel around his lower body.

"That's right, you'll catch a cold if you don't wear clothes, that's not good." He accepted her suggestion and said thoughtfully, "But my clothes are on you now." His fingers gradually moved down, All the way to her waist.

"Hey, what are you going to do?" She yelled, with only anger on her face, not shyness.

"What to do?...Of course, take my clothes back and put them on." He said seriously, "Use the same way, and give it back to him."

Her puffy look was very interesting to him.

He turned his fingers, and then carefully tied the belt of her coat.

"What? Are you expecting me to strip you naked?"

Seeing her surprised expression, he pulled her hair with a half-smile.

"No..." Before she finished speaking, he had already taken a soft bath towel, wrapped her head in it, and carefully wiped off the water on it.

Many years ago, his mother wiped his hair in the same way, with gentle and careful movements.

"You go."

He let go of her hair, wrapped her in a red coat, and then sat at the table and poured herself a drink.

The wine is very light, and it is not easy to get drunk if you drink too much.

He is still young, but already has melancholy.

"Why don't you leave?...Could it be that I'm so handsome that I'm reluctant to leave?" Seeing her complex expression, he blinked and smiled triumphantly.

"I was thinking, why don't you doubt me? Why do you let me go so easily?"

"Qin would not send such an assassin." This is too stupid.

"Oh?"

"And you didn't hurt the young master." He thought of the young master who was so loud but still a yellow-haired boy, and he became emotional all of a sudden, "If you hurt the young master, I will definitely tear you to pieces Wan Duan."

"... Oh." She nodded thoughtfully.

"Wait a minute." Seeing that she was about to leave, he stopped her again, "What's your name?"

"...Ji Zhen, you can call me Ah Zhen."

"You're very interesting." He closed his eyes and said softly, "Before I regret it, you should leave."

"……it is good."

In fact, as soon as she left, he regretted it.

He fell asleep in the tub again.

The water was already cold, but this time no one came to wake him up again.

Lying in the icy water, he thought of the comb next to his pillow.He thought maybe he should give the comb to the girl named Ji Zhen, because she also has long hair—just like the sister he expected.

He needed a playmate, and he thought he would need a lover later on.

The next day, he searched for her for a long time, but he didn't find any news about her.He was a little disappointed, but quickly forgot about it.

The crowd is vast, and he is the son of a general, so he always has a lot of things to do.

In the subsequent war, Chu State lost to Qin State.The war was extremely cruel. After the Tenglong Legion was in charge, Long Qi had to cut Xiang Yu's reins with his own hands to protect him from evacuating safely.

He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that he will not die well.

Because of the courage of the coach and the
