The night in Yizhou was quieter than ever.

Although the autumn is crisp and the moon is hanging high, everyone's heart is shrouded in the shadow of black clouds crushing the city.

On the moonlit night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, which should be lively, no one dared to come out in the streets and alleys, leaving only the city empty.

No one knows when the two sides will go to war, and no one knows whether the war will make those of them in troubled times cannon fodder.

So when Mr. Zhang Qian led someone to sneak into the quiet Bai family, he didn't feel that anything was wrong.

It wasn't until he saw the soldiers patrolling back and forth in the Bai family's house that he jumped to his feet angrily!

"No wonder the Bai family is so big-hearted, and there is no movement at this point, it turns out that they know that someone is protecting them!"

The soldier's uniform color is obviously under the command of King Jin!

The people who came with him also saw it, and their faces were not good.

"What does King Jin mean by this? The traitors have all been beaten out of the door, but he is still protecting the family of the traitors!"

"This stupid fork still doesn't have enough brains at this time!"

Zhang Qian was so angry that he scolded, but he didn't dare to step forward to alarm, so as not to be known by King Jin.

He turned around and came out quietly, and sent someone to check the situation at the Bai family's old mansion:

"If you can't catch his wife and son, then arrest his old lady, brother, sister-in-law, nephews and nieces! Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it, and then Bai Huanniang dares to watch her elders killed by her!"

What happened to Bai Bingxiong's family and his eccentric old lady, Zhang Qian didn't know.

But when he thought about it, he didn't believe it when he arrested all those people, in front of tens of thousands of people, the princess of the King of Qin dared to turn her face and deny people, and the six relatives did not recognize her!

The people who went to the Bai family's old mansion came back quickly, and Zhang Qian always looked at the men and women they brought back, and finally had a happy feeling in his heart!

He and Bai Bingxiong can also be regarded as brothers who have died, but now that the situation has become like this, either you die or I die, then it's no wonder that he is!

The moon and stars are scarce, and the king of Jin stands on the high tower of Hangu Pass, looking in the direction of Tongguan.

The rolling mountains are hazy under the moonlight, but the past is clearly in my mind.

The last time he saw Sister Cheng Huan, he once asked her which side she would stand on if she came this far.

There is no doubt that now she is on the side of the Qin Palace.

Once upon a time, he had a complete heart, and the young man was ignorant, pretending to be his beloved royal brother and sister, but now they were on one side, and finally tore his heart in half.

His thoughts that the world's peaceful soldiers are bloodless are just extravagant hopes after all.

"Lord, it's cold at night, go back!"

Zhang Delu worked hard to climb the high city tower and put a cloak on the king of Jin.

"Grandpa Lu, you really shouldn't have come here with me. ”

The sword has no eyes, this old man has followed him all his life, this battle is unpredictable, why should he bother him?

Zhang Delu smiled very open-mindedly:

"Look at what the prince said, the old slave has been with you all his life, naturally where the prince is, the old slave must be there, so that he can be entrusted by the concubine. ”

Hearing him suddenly mention his mother, King Jin's heart was at a loss.

The mother concubine is long gone, and his memory has long been blurred.

He can remember the earliest women's care, all from Sister Cheng Huan.

King Jin held back the sourness at the end of his nose and said quietly:

"Father-in-law Lu, there is nothing in this world that is for a lifetime...... But I still want to meet Sister Cheng Huan. ”

Late at night, guests came quietly in the Tongguan barracks.

Hearing that someone asked to see him, Bai Chenghuan, who had already rested, got down from the collapse and dressed again, and when he went out, he happened to see Xiao Shaotang, who was going to patrol the night, walk in with a solemn expression.

"Huanhuan, King Jin is here. ”

Bai Chenghuan was stunned for a moment, suddenly lifted the curtain and ran out quickly.

In the cold light outside the tent, a tall figure in a cloak stood quietly.

"Little Ten ......"

Bai Chenghuan stopped, her skirt swaying in the night breeze, but her eager steps couldn't take a step.

The man under the moonlight raised his hand to remove the hood and smiled at her:

"Sister Cheng Huan, I'm here. ”

The smile is still vaguely the appearance of a teenager back then, but the face that has gradually taken off its childishness has taken on mature edges and corners.

As the saying goes, things are people, and tears flow first.

But at this time, the night was sad, but the old man was relative, and he didn't know what to say.

Bai Chenghuan suddenly didn't know what to say to him.

looked him up and down for a long time before he said dryly:

"Little Ten, you've grown a little taller......"

King Jin nodded:

"I'm only seventeen this year, and Grandpa Lu said, can I grow taller...... Sister Cheng Huan, won't you invite me in and sit down?"

The tent was dim, and the lights were shining.

Bai Chenghuan sat opposite King Jin, and Xiao Shaotang sat on the side.

In the stagnant atmosphere, the three of them sat for a long time, until the tea in front of them was completely cool, and King Jin took the lead in breaking the silence.

"Sister Cheng Huan, can you let him out?"

Xiao Shaotang immediately felt the strong hostility in his words.

He glanced at Bai Chenghuan, and saw that she seemed to have acquiescence, and a thousand tastes came to his heart, so he said coldly:

"Could it be that His Royal Highness King Jin has come down to my territory and wants to drive my master out?"

"This Great Qi Jiangshan is originally the emperor's brother, when will it be your turn to call the shots?"

King Huo Ran of Jin stood up and scolded angrily, looking angry and aggrieved:

"If it weren't for you, Sister Cheng Huan and I wouldn't have reached this point......!

"Little Ten!"

Bai Chenghuan finally couldn't help but drink it.

"How did we get to this point, don't you really understand?!"

Although he did not name names, King Jin understood that the word "we" meant Sister Cheng Huan and Brother Huang.

What really happened between them...... Maybe he didn't understand, or maybe he didn't want to believe it.

But the grievances in King Jin's heart can no longer be suppressed:

"But Sister Cheng Huan, it's a fact that you chose him! You scolded me for him!"

He glared at Xiao Shaotang hatefully:

"Don't tell me what kind of master you are, you're just a traitor! I didn't come to see you, you go away!"

Xiao Shaotang clasped his hands to his chest and sneered:

"It is better to be a thief than to be a mermaid!"

"Look at your own appearance, live like a foolish child! How can you be worthy of being the commander of the three armies? Or give up Yuzhou and Hedong earlier, so as not to embarrass Huanhuan by becoming my subordinate in the future!"

King Jin's face turned pale, his hands were clenched tightly, and the green tendons on the back of his hands jumped!

"Enough!"

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Bai Chenghuan let out a low cry and stood between the two, facing Xiao Shaotang with a little pleading in his eyes.

"Can you wait outside for me first?" I'll just say a few words to him. ”

What Xiao Shaotang couldn't stand the most was Bai Chenghuan's eyes.

He suddenly realized that staying here could only embarrass her.

He tried his best to soften his face, pinning the broken hair from her sideburns behind her ears:

"Okay, I'll wait for you outside. ”

After Xiao Shaotang left, there was a dead silence in the tent.

Bai Chenghuan poured a new cup of tea and put it in front of King Jin.

"It's a risk for you to come late at night. Don't you have a plan in mind?"

"Since you feel that you are no longer a child, you are in command of thousands of troops, don't do such dangerous things, don't you understand?"

In fact, the moment Bai Chenghuan knew that King Jin was coming, he was more worried in his heart.

Now that the two sides are facing each other, smoke may be ignited at any time, and the commander of one side has run into the enemy's military camp.

was questioned by Bai Chenghuan like this, and King Jin just hung his head and didn't speak.

Perhaps, he has been reprimanded like this by Sister Cheng Huan for many years, and he has long been used to this, right?

Even, such a tone felt more familiar to him than politeness.

And he was able to run to Tongguan without any scruples, relying on nothing more than knowing that she would never do anything to him.

She will never know that in his heart, she will always be the gentle and kind Sister Cheng Huan, and no matter what happens, she will not change.

King Jin sighed faintly:

"Of course I know the danger...... But Sister Cheng Huan, why do we have to come to this point? Why do you have to take revenge on the imperial brother and torture the imperial brother like this?"

"Because your royal brother owes me a life! I can't get my life back, but I can take everything from him!"

"Sister Cheng Huan, how could the imperial brother take your life, didn't he fall to such a point today, wasn't it all for you? How could he kill you?!"

To this day, King Jin still doesn't want to believe this fact.

Bai Chenghuan no longer had the patience to argue with him about this matter.

He chose to believe in his royal brother instead of her, so what else was there to say?

"Then you will ask him for yourself at a later date. ”

Bai Chenghuan's tone suddenly became resolute:

"In fact, you yourself know in your heart that at this point, it is impossible for me to retreat. If you have come to persuade me today, then please come back!"

King Jin blinked his somewhat moist eyes, shook his head and said:

"No...... I knew it was useless to say anything, it was too late...... I just wanted to see you. ”

"Sister Cheng Huan, after tonight, we will face each other in life and death, swear to be enemies, you, take care, your family, I will also take care of it, and I will not let them suffer innocently." ”

A warmth surged in Bai Chenghuan's heart, but in the end, she could only thank him dryly:

"Thank you for taking care of them...... I'll take care of myself, and so will you. ”

Jerkily said these polite and detached words, Bai Chenghuan didn't know how he sent King Jin out of the camp.

But looking at his back as he faded away, she couldn't help crying alone.

Who can be blamed? Who made her lose it all?

Xiao Shaotang stepped forward silently and hugged her who was crying uncontrollably.

"Don't cry, Huanhuan, and me. ”

Bai Chenghuan lay on his shoulder and cried, but there was a commotion in the distance.

Before the king of Jin left the camp of the Qin army, he was intercepted by Zhao Wensong and others.

"His Royal Highness, Concubine Shizi, this person is suspicious, and he must not be let go!"

Zhao Wensong said anxiously:

"There has been news from Yuzhou that the family of the princess has been arrested by the King of Jin!

After that, Zhao Wensong pointed to the King of Jin, who was already surrounded by people:

"Let's also have a good trial, if this person is from King Jin's side, we can also use him as a hostage in exchange for the family of the princess!"

Bai Chenghuan looked at King Jin in astonishment - this is what he said?

The King of Jin, who was surrounded by a group, was also stunned and inexplicable on horseback, and as soon as he looked at Bai Chenghuan disappointedly, he immediately defended loudly:

"No! King Jin has never ordered anyone to arrest Sister Cheng Huan's family!"

"The scout has already inquired clearly, how could it not be?"

Zhao Wensong didn't know King Jin, but he also heard some clues from King Jin's words, and even shouted:

"This person must stay, and must not be let go!"

Bai Chenghuan ignored Zhao Wensong, only struggled out of Xiao Shaotang's arms, and looked straight at King Jin:

"Is there any? I'll just ask you!"

King Jin didn't know what went wrong, but he really didn't, he raised his head and said:

"Sister Cheng Huan, no is no! You know I never lie to you!"

The wind came in and dried Bai Chenghuan's tears.

"Well, I believe you!"

She stared at King Jin for a moment, resolutely stepped forward, turned her back to him, pulled out the long sword she carried with her, and faced Zhao Wensong and the others.

"No matter who he is, tonight, he is just my brother, please raise your noble hands!"

This posture ...... If they don't raise their noble hands, will it be possible that the princess will turn against them?

Who is this for, princess?

Everyone's eyes looked at Xiao Shaotang.

Xiao Shaotang looked at his wife like an old hen protecting a chicken, and waved his hand weakly.

"Let him go!"

"His Royal Highness!"

Zhao Wensong was unwilling.

Xiao Shaotang's face sank:

"This prince has said a long time ago that the words of the princess are equivalent to my words, have you all forgotten?!"

With a roar of anger echoing over the barracks, Zhao Wensong could only retreat with hatred no matter how unwilling he was.

Bai Chenghuan personally sent the King of Jin out of the Qin army's barracks.

Under the moonlight, she said solemnly:

"Tonight is the last time I will allow you to be willful, and if there is a next time, I will not send you away again as I did today. ”

King Jin looked back at Xiao Shaotang, who was standing in the distance, and said wistfully:

"He treats you sincerely. Sister Cheng Huan, I'm leaving, I'll see you again in the future, you must be careful!"

There was already a secret threat in his voice, Bai Chenghuan raised his head and smiled, and did not speak again.

The struggle for life and death finally completely separated them.

Galloping all the way, King Jin finally returned to Hangu Pass before dawn.

In the gate, Zhang Qian has been waiting for him for a long time.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates have arrested all the people of the Bai clan, how to do it, please show it to the prince!"

Before King Jin took a sip of tea, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground in shock!

"You guys, you really went to arrest the Bai family?!"

"Lord, at this time, it is not the time for a woman's kindness, please forgive your subordinates for the crime of making their own claims!"

"Bastard! bastard!"

King Jin jumped up angrily, and all thoughts were discouraged - he had become a villain in Sister Cheng Huan's heart!

The next day, when Xiao Shaotang and Bai Chenghuan galloped all the way to the outside of Hongnong County, they were greeted by the "Bai family" lined up on the city wall!
