"Ahem, cough, ahem—Wen Bin—"

"Did we win? or did we lose?"

Xu Pei's face was haggard and yellow, with a heavy cyan under his eyes, his eyes were covered with wisps of blood, and his forehead was tied with a gray foreheadband. Yang Si was so angry that he was angry, Xu Pei was a sensitive and thoughtful character, and after being in bed, not only did not get better, but deteriorated sharply.

The whole person seemed to be hollowed out, and it was difficult to even turn over and sit up at this time.

He grabbed Han Yu's hand with his thin hand, and turned sideways to face the other party with his strength, his wide eyes flashing with longing and urgency.

Xu Pei licked his dry and cracked lips, and said in a rough voice, "Wenbin, tell me!"

Han Yu was dressed in a dark cyan Confucian shirt, sitting upright and kneeling beside Xu Pei's bed, his calm eyes with a chilling heaviness.

I don't know if it's the indoor light or an illusion, Xu Pei found that Han Yu's long hair was not as black and silky as it used to be, but a little gray. Xu Pei involuntarily grabbed Han Yu's right hand and stared at his lips for a moment, expecting this mouth to tell good news.

Han Yu was silent for a long time, and the two were so silent for a long time.

Silence is better than sound.

Although Han Yu did not say the answer, Xu Pei already understood.

"Yes, is it defeated—I see—"

Xu Pei let go of his hand, his side body lost support, and he lay back on the bed weakly.

He stared blankly at the roof of his bedchamber, his already weak body even more tired, as if someone was pulling him down.

"I knew there would be today, the clinker came so quickly, after all, I underestimated Lan Ting-" Xu Pei's frowning eyebrows soothed, his expression was a little strangely calm, and he couldn't see any traces of hysteria a few days ago, he asked, "They're going to attack?"

Only then did Han Yu speak, "The enemy army has begun to attack the city, the troops in the city are empty, and the baggage is insufficient, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold the sunset." ”

Xu Pei turned his head to look at Han Yu, and such a simple action seemed a little laborious.

"Wen Bin, you and I have a minister, there is one thing...... Pei Houyan pleaded, and hoped that Wen Bin could think carefully......" Xu Pei took a breath, and said in a weak voice, "Zhejun has fallen into the hands of Lanting, but the whereabouts of the old and young in the mansion are still unknown, and Pei is worried about it...... If Wen Bin still has the strength to spare, please take care of them in the future and save their lives. In this way, Pei can also smile under Jiuquan. ”

Han Yu looked at Xu Pei with deep eyes, "Lord-"

"No need to persuade me, I know how to choose, if I surrender to Lanting and admit defeat, according to her temperament, most of them will trap me as an idler. As long as I don't make trouble, I will have no worries for the rest of my life, but this is not what I want-" Xu Pei coughed a few more times, his calm eyes flashed scarlet blood, as if there was a terrifying beast lurking, his eyes were firm and decisive, "Besides-hehe, Xu Lingwen has the courage to fight to death, how can I be greedy for life and afraid of death? If I steal my life at this time, I am afraid that I will be laughed to death by him!"

Han Yu pursed his lips, his expression became more and more pale, as if he had been brushed with a thick layer of white ash, revealing a dead silence.

"Whoa!"

Hearing Han Yu's promise, a faint flush appeared on Xu Pei's yellow cheeks, as if injecting a burst of vitality.

He made a gesture and got up, and Han Yu raised his hand to help him.

"Wen Bin, help me prepare the pen and ink, and I will have to trouble you to hand over the letter to the family at that time-"

Han Yu helped him get the pen and ink, Xu Pei's fingers trembled and lifted the pen, and the tip of the pen fell on the table with a clatter before it fell, and the ink splashed several ink-colored round stains. He gritted his teeth and picked up the pen again, and although it didn't fall this time, the words he wrote were vain and weak.

It is not so much a family letter, but a suicide note left by Xu Pei to his family.

The content of the letter is nothing special, telling his son to study seriously and become a pillar of talent who is beneficial to the people of the world and the country when he grows up, and telling his daughter not to forget the teachings of her parents and elders, and to respect her mother-in-law and grandmother after she gets married, and to tell her wife to take care of the family business, if there is a man who suits her heart in the future, she can take away half of the family wealth and remarry, and do not delay her years.

When Xu Pei made the last stroke, he almost used up all his strength.

Han Yu silently helped him dry the letter, add fire paint and then put it into the letter.

"You've worked hard all these years. ”

Xu Pei seemed to have lost his strength, sat hunched over the table, and watched Han Yu take the letter into his arms.

Han Yu said, "It's not bitter. ”

For Han Yu, the previous experience is to try again and again, whether it is victory or defeat, it is a rare experience.

Only by falling hard now and learning a lesson can he avoid the same pit in the future.

Xu Pei's lips moved, his dry eyes seemed to have tears, and he didn't say half a word for a long time.

The bright sun in the sky has begun to tilt to the west, Xu Pei said silently, "Wen Bin, you go down, I want to be alone and quiet." ”

Han Yu got up silently, walked to the door and paused.

"Xinzhao still remembers the first time we met in the Water Pavilion, when you and I talked about the general trend of the world and expressed our hearts directly, what did you promise?"

Xu Pei was stunned for a moment, and his sluggish brain did not react immediately.

He took a lot of effort to look through that memory, and said uncertainly, "Do you want to see the splendid mountains and rivers together?"

Han Yu didn't look back and said, "Xinzhao still remembers, but now he wants to break the promise?"

"Please Wen Bin take a second look for me. Xu Pei smiled bitterly, "If Lan Ting ascends the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, remember to come to my grave to inform you." ”

If he loses to such a person, he will die unjustly.

Although Xu Pei was born in a family, he also wants to be peaceful in the world, but now he is afraid that he will not see it.

Han Yu's eyes dimmed by two points.

"Good. ”

Not long after Han Yu left, he met Cheng Xun with blood.

"Where's the lord?"

Han Yu said, "Inside the house." ”

Cheng Xun looked Han Yu up and down, and suddenly understood everything.

"Why don't you persuade the lord to break through?" Cheng Xun clenched his back molars and said angrily, "Han Wenbin, I originally respected you, but now I am blind." As a courtier, you don't do your best to be loyal to the Lord, but you want to let go in times of crisis, where do you put the Lord?"

Han Yu said, "I've done my best. ”

The final hole card was also revealed, and in the end, Liu Xi was still not killed, and the defeat was decided.

Cheng Xun was furious, watching Han Yu's indifferent reaction become more and more angry, and scolded, "The lord humiliates the ministers to death, and the lord dies and the ministers also die, you Han Yu are greedy for life and afraid of death?

Han Yu's gaze turned coldly to Cheng Xun.

"The name is something outside the body, and I don't need to care what others say. You think I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, and I have nothing to say. ”

Cheng Xun was so angry that his fingers trembled.

"You have the trust of your lord!"

Han Yu said, "It's good to be worthy of my heart, I am worthy of my heart." ”
