And his special relationship with the imperial family also led the emperor to be willing to marry the eldest princess of Shengjing City, the pearl of her palm, to this young general.

On the day of their wedding, the emperor had already built a huge palace outside the city, even comparable to the most central palace in the holy capital.

The whole country entered an extremely festive state at that moment, in the huge territory, the edict was promulgated, all the yamen in various places rested for a day, amnesty was granted to the world, and the prisoners who were originally sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn were all released, just because of the wedding of the eldest princess.

"Will you marry me? At the wedding, the general took off his battle robe, and at this moment, he was well-dressed, and his white clothes were constantly fluttering gently in the wind.

The princess wore a red hijab, and her red dress was as if stained red by the blood of the battlefield: "I do." ”

But the princess did not see that when her words fell, there was no smile on the general's face, and he was as calm as water, and he did not say anything more, but when night fell, the princess returned to her room after all ten thousand worships.

From this day on, they are husband and wife.

The general was still dressed in white, he looked at the princess in front of him, his eyebrows moved slightly, he stretched out his hand, his slender fingers were covered with heavy calluses because of the reason for holding weapons all year round, he was about to take off the red hijab, but he stayed in the air.

The princess looked at the fingers that stayed in mid-air through the gap, the corners of her eyes were slightly moist, but she didn't speak, she knew that the general in front of her childhood sweetheart didn't actually love herself.

At last, the general withdrew his hand, and he picked up the yellow saber that lay on the mahogany table beside him, and turned away, listening to the heavy footsteps in the room, and the princess stood up, her red hijab a little transparent.

"Why are you leaving? We're already husband and wife. The princess asked loudly.

The general's footsteps paused, and his hand holding the sword tightened even more: "So you will put my fiancée's entire family to Ling Chi to death?"

"I don't know what you're talking about?"

The general turned around suddenly, his face was full of hideousness, at this moment in his heart, if it wasn't for the person in front of him who was the eldest princess of the royal family, he might have been broken into pieces by himself.

His language was cold, and on his handsome face, he had long lost his majesty and calmness as a general in the past: "I led the army to fight, defeated the country of Jiaming, recovered the lost territory, and slaughtered the royal family of Jiaming, I made great achievements outside, and I thought that when I came back at this moment, I would be able to marry my wife, but what about you, you actually took advantage of me to privately convict her, and slaughtered her whole family and slaughtered the nine clans, do you think these things will have anything to do with your escape?"

The eldest princess's standing body trembled a little, and her voice was a little hoarse: "These are all instructed by me, but you are the general of this dynasty after all, only as the eldest princess, can I be worthy of you, and can make your family become an irreplaceable family in this dynasty forever." ”

"So you instructed the Criminal Department to do such a thing?" the general asked with a cold snort.

"Haven't you thought that if you marry the daughter of a prefect as your wife, their family will indeed climb the dragon and the phoenix, and what about your descendants?

"What do my descendants have to do with me? The general calmed his mind, "From now on, I am still my general, you are still your eldest princess, I respect you as a king, and you respect me as a minister." ”

With that, the general turned and walked out of the intricately carved wooden door, and he pinned his sword to his waist, and the rain continued to fall, and the servants were packing up the things that had been placed in the courtyard for the general's wedding.

"General, why did you come out?" the butler asked strangely as he ran to the general's side after a busy and tired day.

"From now on, the princess will live in this courtyard, take good care of her, and move all my things to the side courtyard. The general commanded in a deep voice.

The butler didn't have time to ask the general anything, but he saw the general walking towards the rain, and even though the rain was not very heavy, it still wet the general's hair.

"Hey-" The butler sighed helplessly, he kept watching the man in front of him from a boy to a general who is now fighting on the battlefield, there was too much helplessness during the period, he never got what he deserved, for so many years, what he had was just an illusory honor.

In the room, the eldest princess sat down on the bed, tears couldn't help falling from the corners of her eyes, she was holding a red cover, for a long time, she lifted the lid with her hand, and her eyes became clear again.

The room was decorated with candles everywhere, and the yellow light of the candles illuminated the whole room, and the poor people could only face darkness after the sun set, but as an imperial princess, she never lacked light, and at this moment, she seemed to have completely lost the light that should have belonged to her.

She smiled and said helplessly: "I didn't expect it to be so long after all." ”

That night, all the servants in the courtyard did not rest, and they were all struggling to move the general's things from the main hall to the side courtyard, and the butler, always standing outside the princess's room, through the faint light, he could vaguely see that in the room, a figure was constantly wandering.

"Butler, the things have been moved, and they have all been settled, and the general said, it's okay. A servant walked up to the butler and whispered.

The housekeeper looked at the sky that had lit up slightly, and his eyes were full of complicated feelings: "Okay, it's almost dawn, go back and rest." ”

"Good. The servant said at once, and hurried to inform the other servants one by one.

The butler glanced at the princess's bedroom, where the figure was still moving, and he returned to the room with a sleepy face, and lay down, the light of the rising sun coming from the mountains to the east.

I don't know when, the noisy sound woke the butler from his sleep, the door was constantly banging, and the courtyard was full of footsteps.

"What's the matter?" said the butler, opening his troubled eyes, and exclaimed with some impatience.

"Butler, it's not good, it's out of the water. Outside the door, the sound of knocking on the door faintly reached the butler's ears.

"What did you say?" the butler hurriedly lifted the quilt, and he hurriedly put on his shoes in thin clothes.

Before the door was opened, the servant outside the door looked at the house that was burning not far away, and said in a panic: "Butler, the water has gone." ”

The housekeeper walked to the door of the house, and opened it, and in the courtyard, a house was surrounded by fire, and everyone else hurriedly took a bucket to fill it with water, and then poured it towards the fire, but in the end it was a drop in the bucket......

"No, that's the eldest princess's room!" shouted the butler, recovering from his senses.

"Butler, what should I do!" said the servant hurriedly, unexpectedly, before the eldest princess came to spend the night here, the bridal room was flooded, and smoke and dust continued to rise from that room, and the fire was not suppressed in any way, and there was a tendency to spread around.

Suddenly, the butler seemed to see the general, standing in the crowd, looking at the fire intensifying but without any demeanor.

He suddenly realized something, and then said to the servant standing in front of him with a hurried face, "Clean up, you can get out of here." ”

"But butler. Listening to the butler's words, the servant suddenly became a little confused, he didn't know what the butler's words meant.

"Let's go, pack up your things, and come to me later to take your hard-earned money. The butler shook his head silently, then reached out and closed the door, "By the way, inform the others, also pack up the things, and come to me to receive their hard-earned money." ”

Since that fire, the princess has died, the whole country mourns, the emperor is furious, ordered to behead this famous general, on the day of the guillotine, the general's face did not have any horror, but a look of relief, everyone thought that the brave and warlike general in front of him was crazy.

Around the execution ground, the soldiers who held weapons to stop the people's resistance were all the people who followed him in the past to fight on the battlefield and drank blood.

After all, he didn't see that the families of those soldiers were detained in the palace, and when the general's head fell to the ground, all the soldiers shed tears for him at that moment, and their voices sounded loudly on the execution ground: "General, go all the way! The soldiers you bring have never been ruthless and unrighteous people!"

Since the death of the general, the country's army has almost been decadent, morale has plummeted, and almost all the generals who could have supported the country's military power have also resigned from their hometowns, even at the risk of being killed, they have decided that they will not continue to contribute even a little bit of their strength to this dynasty.

The story of the general and the princess faded from people's memories, and the record of this dynasty was completely erased by the emperor who captured it later because it was destroyed.

But after all, the strange thing is that this ruin, when it was washed back into nothingness by nature, grew a red flower, which had no leaves, only a bright red flower, and no one knew what this flower was, only called it "the flower of the other side......
