The sky is clear and the sun is shining.

On the square outside the Taiji Palace, Gao Heng was dressed in a domineering and mighty Xuanxi armor, holding the Lingxiao Sword at the head of the army, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his momentum was awe-inspiring.

Just standing there quietly is enough to shock the Quartet.

If it were normal times, it would inevitably make Cheng Jinzhi put on a salivating expression.

But now, her eyes are full of sorrow and parting, that heavy reluctance and sadness.

And Princess Yuanxi is also wearing a heroic uniform today, and her whole body is full of a woman's special heroic spirit.

I saw her standing behind Gao Heng in high spirits, but there was no sadness of parting on her face, but a little bright and open cheerfulness, which formed a sharp contrast with Cheng Jinzhi, who was not far away.

This time to replace Cheng Jinzhi and go on the expedition with Gao Heng, for Princess Yuanxi, who has always succumbed to her rival in love, it is like a rare victory, a hard-won opportunity.

She even naively imagined that she would use the experience of this war to work together with Gao Heng and share weal and woe.

Maybe when he returns triumphantly, his status in Gao Heng's mind will never be a single bit of Cheng Jinzhi.

This sudden, with a hint of fantasy side happiness, made her forget for a moment that she was about to set foot on the battlefield where thousands of troops and horses met each other.

also did not expect the danger of this vicious battle, and the ulterior motives of those who were hiding in the shadows.

As far as the eye can see, behind him are the military flags swaying in the wind, and the Praetorian Guards, all of which are stretching and ready to go.

Emperor Zhou was dressed in a black gold dragon crown suit, and Empress Zhao stood on the high platform with the royal family and ministers to greet him, but in the eyes of Cheng Jinzhi, he was in a high-minded posture of pointing the country.

Especially the sinister smile that loomed at the corner of Empress Zhao's mouth made her spine chill and frightened.

The sense of foreboding that had already made her uneasy quietly permeated her heart.

Emperor Zhou's loud and powerful voice sounded in his ears, but Cheng Jinzhi didn't bother to listen to what he was saying, but unconsciously tugged at the corners of his mouth, only feeling that every word was so high-sounding, and finally there was a sneer.

In Emperor Zhou's mind, the weight of Gao Heng's son has always been inferior to the prince he has loved for many years.

She stood beside Concubine Hui with a stoic expression, but her eyes were always locked on Gao Heng's body, even if it was just one more look, it was a comfort in her heart.

Recalling last night, I reluctantly snuggled in Gao Heng's arms, and thought that whether it was the refreshing magnolia fragrance or the warmth that was originally at my fingertips, it would be cut off for several months, and I could only send lovesickness from afar.

In addition to regretting it in my heart, I only hope that time can pass more slowly, more slowly.

But when I suddenly raised my eyes, it was already dawn at the end of the night.

"Your Majesty, the hour has come, and it is time for the soldiers to set off. ”

As the celebrant sounded, Gao Heng was slightly stunned, and his originally cold and deep eyes suddenly became more and more scorching.

He raised his eyes and stared at Cheng Jinzhi deeply, moved his lips to stop talking, a thousand words, and finally turned into a reassuring and warm smile on his lips.

And Cheng Jinzhi clenched his fists and stood in place, although he repeatedly persuaded himself not to cry in front of others, his eyes were still full of tears.

The wind rose on the flat ground, the drums thundered, and the pace of the departure of the thousand troops was urged.

After saluting Emperor Zhou and Concubine Hui, Gao Heng raised his hand, and the army behind him turned around and walked towards Zhengyangmen.

"Wait!"

Seeing that Gao Heng was about to fly on the horse, when he thought of saying goodbye today, and he didn't know when he would say goodbye, Cheng Jinzhi didn't know where he got the courage, and shouted in front of everyone.

Then he lifted the hem of his skirt desperately, rushed down the high platform in full view of everyone, and hugged him tightly without hesitation.

Looking at Cheng Jinzhi, who was as stubborn as a child in his arms and refused to let go, Gao Heng felt a sudden sharp pain in his chest.

But in order not to make this parting feeling even more sad, he finally chose to restrain his emotions, raised his hand and gently stroked her hair, and his eyes were full of hidden pampering and sadness.

He thought about it a lot, and at this moment, he took her hand without scruples, even if he was about to face a sea of swords and fires, it was better than being so cruelly separated from the two places.

One lovesickness, two sorrows.

"Take care of yourself, I promise you, you will come back victoriously soon, wait for me. ”

"A manly man, if a person who does great things is too childlike, it may not be a good thing. ”

On the high platform, Emperor Zhou squinted his eyes and looked at the infatuated pair of inseparable infatuated people in front of him with a confused expression, and gathered his eyebrows thoughtfully.

"No matter what happens, come back safe and sound!"

Cheng Jinzhi said word by word extremely seriously, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Empress Zhao not far away, and Cheng Yan, who was standing among the ministers, and then leaned close to his ear and lowered his voice.

"Also, it's easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against hidden arrows, so be careful of those traitorous villains. ”

After speaking, after taking a deep breath, she reluctantly broke free of Gao Heng's embrace, but saw Princess Yuanxi come forward and said in a solemn tone: "Sister, don't worry, I will take care of Your Highness for my sister." ”

Now Cheng Jinzhi has no intention of caring whether the woman in front of him is sincere or just a smug provocation.

Instead, his eyes fell on her, and he said in a deep voice with gratitude and trust.

"Okay, please, you have to take care too. ”

Looking at Cheng Jinzhi's sincere and unintentional gaze, Princess Yuanxi was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to suddenly feel relieved, and nodded at her with a kind smile.

If it weren't for falling in love with the same man, maybe she and the two of them could become good friends, right?

Before leaving, under the brilliant sun, the tall figure of Gao Heng's horse gradually drifted away against the light, and finally became a blurred point, disappearing into Cheng Jinzhi's trembling eyebrows, the eyes full of attachment.

"Jin Zhi, what the third brother said, he will never break his word, you can rest assured. ”

Seeing that Cheng Jinzhi was still standing in place for a long time and was reluctant to leave, Gao Xun stepped forward and comforted him,

And Cheng Jinzhi smiled at him when he heard this, and his eyes flickered, but when his eyes came into contact with Cheng Yan, who was also looking at him, his pupils suddenly tightened.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke with a sharp look in his eyes.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, like me, you desperately hope that your third brother can return safely, but you must also hope that some people will never come back, right?"

Listening to Cheng Jinzhi's low but meaningful words, Gao Xun's eyes flashed with puzzlement, and then his eyes quickly widened in understanding.

"Golden Branch, what you said... Could it be ......?"
