King Qin wanted to hold back.

But when he approached the tower of the capital and saw the city wall that had been mottled for hundreds of years, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

In front of the vast and vast city tower, the infinite desolation and loneliness came like the wind, so violent that people were caught off guard.

"Lan Jun, Lan Jun ......"

When the king of Qin arrived at the city gate, he dismounted alone, and lay down on the hard bricks of the city wall, silently choking.

In the twilight of that winter, he couldn't even go home to see her, so he was escorted to the northwest by his trusted imperial brother, covered with scars and inexplicable stigma.

When he left, the remnant sun shone like blood, shining on the dilapidated city wall, just like his life—

Once so glorious, but in the end it was dilapidated.

Even if he comes back today with thousands of troops and horses, what's the use?!

They will never be able to go back to the way they were.

"Father. ”

Xiao Shaotang called softly, wanting to step forward, but stopped again.

This place, when he left, was still in swaddling clothes, he didn't remember anything, he didn't know.

But when my father left, it must have been heartbreaking.

And the life that has been ruined, no matter what is used to compensate for it, always seems pale and powerless.

Perhaps weeping in the place where you left at the beginning can completely bury the past.

Xiao Shaotang opened his eyes to look at the scorching sun in the sky, and someone next to him gently pulled the corner of his clothes.

He lowered his head, not seeing her face, but recognizing the comfort in her eyes.

He quietly reached over and grabbed her leather-gloved hand, which was hard to the touch, but it made his heart soft, and the sourness in his eyes instantly dissipated.

That's why she insisted on riding a war horse and following his side, right?

Where she is, he will not feel sad and desolate.

Inside and outside the city gate, it was already empty, and when the heavy gate of the capital was opened, the emperor led the civil and military officials to greet it in person.

"Uncle Qin, nephew, I'm here to greet you. ”

The emperor got off the imperial chariot, as if he didn't see the Qin army like a black cloud pressing down on the city, and he didn't see the grief of the King of Qin's public gaffe, and walked over briskly, even with a smile on his face, but deep in his eyes, there was deep malice.

King Qin straightened up and turned his head, but the sorrow and sorrow that the emperor expected did not appear.

King Qin had already regained his grim expression when he heard the dull sound of the city gate opening.

The emperor was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it, and then smiled:

"The spiritual position of the emperor's grandmother and father, I have already invited it, and we are all waiting for Uncle Qin in the palace. However, when the flesh and blood are reunited like this, why does Uncle Qin Wang not seem very happy, but he doesn't want to see his nephew?"

Grandmother of the Emperor, Father of the Emperor......

His mother and brother, the emperor really knows what to poke him in the heart.

King Qin sighed a little:

"Shaoyun, you look similar to your father, but you are far inferior to him. ”

At least, the moment before his imperial brother wanted to put him to death, he could still talk and smile and point in the direction of his Fuzhong Observation Deck and ask, Wushuang, will I treat you a little harshly?

He couldn't see the slightest clue.

And the young man in front of him, although he also tried his best to bury all the hatred and hatred in his heart, but the yin owl in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes could not be covered by that smile.

The smile on the emperor's face suddenly disappeared without a trace.

After a long time, he sneered and said:

"Yes, at least, I don't know how to look at people as well as my father, I thought that Uncle Qin would never rebel, but my father saw that Uncle Qin would one day take away everything from us. ”

The emperor looked at the black oppressive army in the distance, as if he had returned to the day when he was besieged by the rebels in his previous life, obviously he was still the emperor, but he had nothing.

He sighed:

"Uncle Qin, my father and my subjects, soldiers and horses, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, are all yours! Uncle Qin, now, are you satisfied?"

King Qin looked back at his thousands of troops and horses, looked at the faint mountains and rivers in the distance, and had a proud smile in his eyes:

"No, none of this is yours. ”

"These thousands of proud soldiers and fierce generals are all trained by me, and these great rivers and mountains are all defended by me to the death. ”

After speaking, he also looked at the emperor and laughed, and in his eyes, he could see the pride and glory of the past:

"I don't feel ashamed of all this today, what do you say, Shaoyun?"

The emperor's eyes were already on the heroic woman under the military flag waving in the wind.

He had never seen her wear a military uniform, and he had never thought she was a delicate phoenix bird perched beside him, noble, but he could only rely on him.

But today, seeing her standing side by side with the man, the two of them holding hands together, looking at him with a look in their eyes, it was completely unfamiliar.

It was as if a certain string in his heart had been plucked, but what was played was just a sad song, with all the happiness he had, passing with the passing years.

That's it, his Cheng Huan will never come back.

She has completely transformed into another person, beautiful, brave, resolute, no longer the Cheng Huan who can smile just when she sees her, nor the Cheng Huan who loved him deeply in his previous life, no matter what kind of suffering.

King Qin didn't know about the entanglement between them, and looked at the emperor's eyes, only to see his son and daughter-in-law standing together, like a pair of beautiful people.

King Qin smiled, and his eyes shone with a very different kindness from when he looked at the emperor:

"Does the emperor also think that they are very good together? The happiness that I was once taken away by the imperial brother, my son can get it, and I have no regrets in this life. ”

"Yes, I have no regrets in this life. ”

The Emperor nodded in agreement.

"It's not bad to get this result in this life. ”

You have worked hard, born and died, but everything you get in the end will still go to Cheng Huan's hands.

The emperor had a subtle pride in his heart.

He has lost so much, but the promise to the queen mother seems to have been fulfilled.

No one knew what the emperor and King Qin said together, but they only saw that the uncle and nephew, who were supposed to be enemies, talked for a while, and they actually talked happily with each other, and they were relieved.

The generals of the Qin army, who were originally full of vigilance, relaxed their vigilance slightly, and they were worried that if they followed the emperor out to welcome the King of Qin, in case of another fight, the ministers on the spot who would be splashed with blood also calmed down.

As the emperor sat back on his shoulders, the king of Qin finally led thousands of troops and horses to enter the capital openly.

The people inside and outside the city gate have long been cleaned up and driven away, but the people inside the city, who will miss such a bustle?

Young men and women have never seen the grand scene of King Qin's triumphant return to the dynasty, but those who are slightly older remember how the heroic King Qin was at that time, and when this King Qin returned, the legend of that year was mentioned over and over again.

For a while, whether it was the noble ladies or the common people, they all flocked to both sides of the main street of the capital, stretching their necks in anticipation.

When the royal chariot passed, a heavy collision sound sounded on the bluestone paved streets of the capital-

At that time, the sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the stone slab was the footsteps of countless people marching side by side, like a dull thunder, which shocked everyone's souls.

Such a sound set off distant memories for the elderly, and for the young man who had barely experienced the sword, it was both terrifying and faintly exhilarating.

Suddenly, on the street, where only the sound of Jin Ge's iron horse trembled remained, someone looked at the figure of King Qin and shouted:

"His Royal Highness King Qin!"

Countless people's eyes were focused on the past, only to see that on the horses that came slowly, they were still vaguely the majestic and heroic figures of the year, but with the vicissitudes of life after the erosion of the ruthless years.

"His Royal Highness King Qin's Chitose!

The shouts rang out one after another, and the King of Qin on horseback took off his helmet and smiled at the people he guarded under the dazzling light of the scorching sun, as he had done many years ago.

Many people burst into tears in an instant, not only for this scene like many years ago, but also for the past that disappeared in time-

At that time, they were also young and heroic, and they also had dreams, but now, whether it is His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who has almost become a monument in their memory, or themselves, they are no longer in their glory.

And more people set their eyes on the two people who followed King Qin.

The heroic warrior with the helmet in his arms and the peerless woman have become a new legend -

"That's His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin and the Princess of King Qin!"

"The princess has such a heroic appearance, she is really like the Dugu Queen of Taizu back then, and she is also a strange woman!"

The young men were yearning, the girls were shy, looking at those sturdy Qin Jun, and exclaimed in their hearts, this is the real hot-blooded man!

Mrs. Wei Beihou stood in front of the window on the second floor of the teahouse on the street, looking at her daughter who seemed to be faintly glowing in the center of ten thousand people, and her eyes couldn't help but be damp.

Her little daughter, who was as delicate as a flower and bones, was now a sonorous rose, and she was both happy and sad in her heart.

Seeing this, Duchess Liang Guo, who came with her, hurriedly pushed her:

"Let's talk about coming to see His Royal Highness King Qin, why are you shedding tears?"

Mrs. Wei Beihou sighed with emotion:

"His Royal Highness King Qin is back, let's go to the palace to pay homage in the future, and there will be many days to see each other, I am watching my Cheng Huan!"

Duchess Liang Guo was stunned, her Cheng Huan-

Mrs. Wei Beihou still can't go because of her heart disease, and she regards this righteous daughter as her own daughter, right?

She was very emotional in her heart, the princess of King Qin is really a good life, as soon as she enters the capital, she has to meet nobles, and now she sees flying on the branches, which is unspeakably expensive.

Thinking about it, she turned her head to look at her daughter, but saw that most of Liang Sixian's body was leaning out of the window, and he was desperately waving the handkerchief in his hand at Qin Jun without any image at all:

"Cheng Huan!

Bai Chenghuan faintly heard a familiar voice calling her, and when she followed the voice, she happened to see Liang Sixian who was so excited that she almost fell downstairs.

"Sixian!"

Bai Chenghuan suddenly laughed the moment he met Liang Sixian's eyes, and under the bright sun, his delicate eyebrows and eyes seemed to converge the color of the world around him.

Behind the window of a bookstore not far away, a man in brocade robe withdrew his gaze for a long time and knocked on the bookcase in front of him.

"Bai Chenghuan, it's a pity. ”

If you want to say what it means to meet late in life, the king of Rongping County really knows at this moment.

But for the woman who smiled enough to lose the world, such a shocking glance had nothing to do with her.

She was waving at Liang Sixian: "Go back, go back!

But I didn't know if Liang Sixian could hear it, so I had to turn around and muttered to Xiao Shaotang beside me:

"Why doesn't Sixian look like he's going to marry at all, when is the day when my brother marries Sixian?"

Xiao Shaotang couldn't cry or laugh:

"You don't know, I don't know, but listening to Xu Shizi's meaning, it's probably in February after the year. ”

Bai Chenghuan nodded:

"That's fine, February is a good time to be. ”

Although Liang Sixian didn't really hear it here, he understood what she meant, and shrank back with a smile, but he still chased her figure with his eyes, until she completely disappeared from her sight, and then excitedly turned back to her mother, Duchess Liang Guo:

"Mother, I think today's Cheng Huan is very good-looking, a woman can look so good in a military uniform! She is really a person who was born to wear this armor!"

Duchess Liang Guo glanced at Mrs. Wei Beihou, who was laughing and moaning on the side, and was so embarrassed that she couldn't slap her daughter to calm down immediately-

My daughter's mother-in-law is here, do you want to behave!

"Calm me down, see the funny jokes!"

Duchess Liang completely forgot that she was also a runaway little girl when she was young, and reprimanded her daughter.

Liang Sixian then remembered that Mrs. Wei Beihou was also there, and turned around suddenly, panicking in her heart and not knowing what to do, it's too bad, Mrs. Xu is here, she will definitely feel that she doesn't have the demure demeanor of a woman, what can I do?

Mrs. Wei Beihou always knew that Liang Sixian was a straightforward character, so she didn't care, but smiled:

"Sixian is still a child, what are you doing with her? I like her lively temperament, as long as she doesn't dislike Cheng Lin for being too dull. ”

In Mrs. Weibeihou's heart, her son Xu Chenglin didn't like to talk much since he was a child, and he was a dull character, but now she can have such a happy daughter-in-law and get along very well with her daughter, she is very satisfied.

The embarrassment of the Duchess of Liang Guo passed, and the two of them concentrated on looking at the well-groomed Qin army.

"Under the rule of King Qin, it is really extraordinary. ”

Duchess Liang Guo sighed.

She knew very well in her heart that now that King Qin has entered the capital, in the future, Weibei Houfu will be even more different from the past with Bai Chenghuan, a righteous daughter.

Mrs. Wei Beihou smiled and did not speak.

Her Cheng Huan is becoming more and more noble, but the closer she is to wealth, the greater the price she has to pay.

She doesn't care about the few things that happened in the Qin army, but there are many people who have the same thoughts as the Zhenguo Mansion.

The Zhenguo Mansion has fallen, but it is not known how many people are going to stand up.

Can her Cheng Huan stand up to those with ill intentions?

Bai Chenghuan didn't see Mrs. Weibei Hou just now, thinking that she stayed in Weibei Houfu and didn't come, and when she settled down in Qinwangfu, she ordered someone to send a letter to Mrs. Weibei Hou, telling her that she would visit her the next day.

The person who delivered the letter took the order, and Bai Chenghuan said to Xiao Shaotang again:

"When my father came, he said that my father and mother would also come to the capital later, when will this arrive?"

She also misses the Bai family's father and mother.

Xiao Shaotang comforted her:

"If you're in a hurry, I'll send someone to meet them on the way, how about it?"
