Chapter 5: Laughing and scolding
"Don't make any noise!" Zhuo Hua raised his hand to stop the surging doubts.
Everyone fell silent and looked at Zhuo Hua with blinking eyes.
"It's all come to this point, and I'm still looking ahead and looking backwards, suffering from gains and losses. If that's the case, let me go alone!, and then disperse, and find a way out!" Zhuo Hua waved his hand after speaking, and turned his back to the Star Monarch.
The crowd below blew up again, and Doumu Hedgehog took the lead in kneeling on the ground, shouting loudly: "Yuan Jun is angry, we are waiting to be convicted!" Yuan Jun is angry, I am willing to follow Yuan Jun forward!"
Seeing that more and more people were kneeling down, the few people who had just questioned Lanling's second heart were embarrassed to insist on their opinions, although you were still reluctant in your heart, but you still joined them.
Zhuo Hua saw that the public opinion had been unanimous, so he slowly turned around, walked a few steps quickly, bent down and reached out to support the Dou Mu Hedgehog and Kui Mu Wolf.
"Have the two palace masters thought about it, if you decide to go with me to the tiger's den, then there will be no more doubts in the future!" Zhuo Hua said as he picked up the two of them.
Doumu Hedgehog and Kui Wood Wolf glanced at each other, bowed down and said, "Follow Yuanjun in this life, and we have no regrets." ”
Zhuo Hua patted the hands of the two of them, sighed and said, "Now the situation is different from the past, Qin Ying and Lin Bai are no longer there, and the affairs of the other two palaces still have to worry about the two of them." As for the details of the operation, the two of you will discuss it first and draw up a summary for me. ”
Kui Mu Wolf bowed down and asked, "When does Yuan Jun want it?"
Zhuo Hua pondered for a while, then turned his head and asked Lan Ling, "How long are we still from the border of the Dark Empire?"
Lan Ling thought for a moment and said, "At this rate, it will take about ten days to arrive." ”
Zhuo Hua nodded, and then said to Kui Mu Wolf: "Three days later, give me the plan in three days." ”
Kui Timber Wolf nodded, and then led the crowd out of the hall.
After the crowd left, Yuqing, who was sitting on the side, looked at Zhuo Hua and Lanling with interest, and said with a smile in his eyes: "I see that you two may not have seen each other for a long time, there should be a lot to say." I'm not going to bother you here!
After saying that, he flicked the sleeves of his robe and left. Lanling and Zhuo Hua held the junior salute and bowed down to send Yuqing Shu away.
The night was as cold as water, and the hall, which had just been full of people, suddenly became extremely desolate at this moment, and the air froze.
"You... Is there anything you want to say to me?" Lan Ling suddenly spoke, like a lightning bolt in a summer night, breaking the silence of the night.
"I misunderstood you. Zhuo Hua said: "What you have experienced is too bizarre, although you have repeatedly advised me not to interfere, but I..."
Lan Ling reached out and covered Zhuo Hua's mouth, wanting to interrupt Zhuo Hua's words, but when his fingers just touched Zhuo Hua's lips, Zhuo Hua retreated as if he had been pierced by a spike.
His retreat stunned both of them. 61
"I... I just don't want to... I don't want you to blame yourself too much... Nothing else. Lan Ling quickly turned his face away, and the tears in his eyes were already uncontrollably welling up.
As soon as he saw Lanling crying, Zhuo Hua couldn't help but want to step forward to comfort him, but the hand that had just been stretched out stopped in mid-air, and his palm grabbed the air awkwardly, and then retracted.
"I just... Not intentionally. You know, Qin Ying and I... I'm already married to her, so..."Zhuo Hua stumbled to explain.
Lan Ling raised his hand and waved, shook his head and said, "I know, and I can understand. She has been silently by your side, and she is the right choice for you when you are in trouble. ”
She lowered her head, the green silk of the waterfall drooped down, blocking her masked face, and the starlight outside the porthole was sprinkled coldly on her shoulders that were shaking with sobbing.
Zhuo Hua didn't know how to answer her words, so he could only stand in place, quietly waiting for Lanling's mood to calm down.
"I know that the things I did caused you to misunderstand, and even hate. But I'm also very helpless, how I want to be by your side like Qin Ying, quietly waiting for the end to come, not to be afraid all day long, and not to bear the notoriety of a traitor, to be a good wife and mother in peace, to have many children with you, and to meet the slaughter of the dark army in a burst of laughter. But I don't want to be like this, I don't want to see the Xuanhuang blood line cut off, and I don't want to see you just like that, drunk and dreaming of death in the gentle country. ”
The more Lan Ling cried, the louder he became, and he poured out the grievances and pain that had been hidden in his heart for so many years towards Zhuo Hua with tears in his eyes.
"When I went deep into the heart of darkness, no matter how scared I was, I didn't cry. I didn't cry when I went to the battlefield to fight and kill my enemies, no matter how bad and dangerous the environment was. Even when everyone thinks that I am a traitor who deceived my teachers and destroyed my ancestors and was spurned by others, I can cry when I am full of grievances. However, every time I see you, when I see the anger on your face pouring out on me, I can't help but cry down. That's when I realized that I wasn't shedding tears, but blood in my heart. Why can't you understand me? Why? Why?"
The more Lan Ling spoke, the more excited he became, and he beat Zhuo Hua's chest desperately with both hands, and in the end, his fists were already weak and he couldn't cry.
Zhuo Hua saw that her hands stopped moving, so he pulled her hands up and slowly put them down.
Just with this move, Lan Ling stopped crying, raised his eyes full of tears, looked at Zhuo Hua and asked, "Is it because my face is ruined?"
Zhuo Hua shook his head apologetically.
"Then we can't go back?" Lan Ling continued to ask.
Zhuo Hua thought for a moment, then raised his head, his eyes lowered but nodded resolutely.
Lan Ling suddenly laughed, like a bright glow in the rain with pear blossoms, she laughed crookedly, the flowers trembled, and finally smiled and lay on the chair where Yu Qingshu had just sat down.
"It's all a lie! The words I told me before were all lies. Saying that no matter what I become, no matter what I do, your love for me will never change, these are all lies! And I am a fool to believe what you say, to take those risks for you, and to bear those infamy! I am a fool, a fool!"
Lan Ling removed the mask and smashed it to pieces, and the sinuous centipede lay on Lan Ling's smile, looking very weird.
"Lanling, it's my fault for all this, I was too conservative before, thinking that temporary peace is permanent peace. You have taught me a vivid lesson, and I thank you, and if you are unhappy, come to me and ask me to do something to make amends. It's just..."
Zhuo Hua raised his eyes, looked at Lan Ling squarely, and said, "It's just that the two of us really can't go back!"
