Chu Xianzhao walked into the bamboo forest and saw a girl napping in the shadow of the corner of the wall with a sword, she didn't see her for a few days, she seemed to be a lot haggard.

Seeing Chu Xuan summoning in, she opened her eyes and said, "She doesn't want to see you." ”

"Yes. Chu Xianzhao said.

"yes. I know you're still here?" said the girl's voice helplessly and sadly.

Chu Xianzhao was silent, such an ending is good for everyone, but not good for everyone.

"You finally killed him and avenged your grandfather, which is good, and the blood debt is repaid. ”

Chu Xianzhao's lips squirmed, but he couldn't make any sound. "He wanted to die, and this was the ending he chose. Chu Xianzhao said.

"He made his choice, and so did you, but what about her?

Chu Xianzhao was silent for a while: I just want to see her, even if she hates me, even if she points at my nose and scolds, even if she stabs me with a knife, she has the right to hate me, I don't blame her. ”

Guan Ju was silent: "Actually, you can completely change the method. ”

"What do you think I can do to break his limbs and imprison him forever in the country of Yin, like a beast that is better than dead?"

Guan Ju gradually walked out of the shadow of the corner with his back on his back, and then stood in the sunlight beside Chu Xianzhao: "Actually, you can do this." ”

"You don't understand, Xiao Ju, a person as proud as Su Changqing would rather die than bow to us, he is like a firework. Chu Xianzhao's eyes were foggy.

"Fireworks?"

"Yes, he would rather explode the most brilliant sparks in the night sky like fireworks and then fall like a meteor than do nothing and spend his life under the fence, and I respected his pride at the end and made him accept a fireworks-like ending. ”

"You're always so smart, you know what is going on in everyone's mind. Guan Ju laughed at herself, in the blink of an eye, the girl's mind was full of thoughts, Chu Xianzhao was the smartest, most bottom-line, and most righteous person she had ever seen, wasn't he the same as Su Changqing?

"Now the people of Yinguo call you a hero...... Guan Ju said. "The people of the west call you butcher and executioner, which one do you prefer?"

Chu Xianzhao pondered for a while: "They are all wrong. ”

“——”

This answer was unexpected, but Guan Ju had to accept it.

Guan Ju was silent again, and suddenly pointed at Chu Xianzhao and scolded with a smile: "You, you...... Go see her, she'll forgive you. ”

Chu instantly turned around and went, gently pushed open the door, and subconsciously closed the door.

The shadow of the dresser is cold and gray, she is like a female ghost without **, she cares about herself in the mirror, she looks at herself in the mirror in a daze, and occasionally hums two tunes.

Chu Xianzhao didn't speak, sitting on the edge of her bed, these two repeated tunes were very familiar to him, before he was ten years old, the most intimate moment between the two was none other than those nights when Chu Xianzhao couldn't sleep, the girl held the child's head in her arms, and the two talked softly and skillfully, most of them were those who the palace maid sister liked, and the eunuch stepped on the shit and fell into the water tank when he went out, meaningless, but extremely comfortable. In the end of the conversation, Chu Xuanzhao would listen to these two songs and fall asleep, and the girl was like his sister.

Among them, in Chu Xianzhao's heart, Su Younu was the first person to enter his heart, and the two of them were too sensitive and unfamiliar with their feelings, so that no one dared to take that step. Later, Su Nianyu was asked to occupy his heart first, and Su Younu gritted his teeth to no avail.

Now that he killed his brother, he can't love him as much as before, so he doesn't have to feel distressed, and he doesn't have to worry about it, how good.

I just feel like a big hole has been drilled in my heart that doesn't bleed, and I can't feel anything but emptiness.

The two were silent with each other until dusk fell, when he gently poured a glass of water and handed it to the girl, who drank it obediently, and the next moment she immediately spit it out: "The tea is cold." ”

Chu Xianzhao personally went to boil water to make tea for her, but in the face of the steaming hot tea, she said it was too hot.

In the following days, Chu Xuan summoned her to personally deliver food, but most of the time she was rejected. He didn't move with the food box, Su Younu also sat in front of the mirror and didn't move, after a long time, she still didn't say a word to herself, Chu Xianzhao sat until late at night and never left, until the next morning she found herself asleep in her bed, and the girl still groomed in the mirror, as if that was where she belonged.

One day, two days, three days, nearly half a month passed, Chu Xianzhao repeatedly excused the celebration banquet of the palace and the thank-you gifts of the ministers, his uncle, and now the new monarch of the Golden Horde asked him to go to the Golden Horde, and the family members of those who died under Su Changqing's sword knelt in front of the palace and said that they wanted to see the third prince of Chu, but he did not go.

Chu Xianzhao has been staying in the Eagle Wing during this time, and he is also by Su Younu's side.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it's now mid-May.

Today, Chu Xianzhao came to Su Younu's room again with the food box, and he was surprised to find that the other party was actually eating the food he forgot to take away last night, chewing gently, it still seemed that he still had no appetite, even so, Chu Xianzhao was still excited in his heart.

Chu instantly summoned great joy, sat beside Su Younu and gently untied today's food box, picked up a piece of fat paste and sent it to her mouth, but the other party shook his head: "No need, I'm full." ”

The boy hung his head a little dejectedly, Su Younu looked at him, blinked his eyes, and said loudly: "Take me out, I want to go out for a walk." ”

When Chu Xianzhao heard this, he hurriedly grabbed her arm: "You don't have to be like this. Su Nianyu said.

Chu Xuanzhao doesn't care, as long as she can turn herself out, she will let him go to Su again

Changqing fought to the death once, and he was willing to do it once.

The two walked out of the house and into the bamboo forest, the sunlight through the bamboo leaves formed small spots of light on them, and Su Younu stopped.

"I thought about it for a long time, and I thought it would be better to die. ”

Chu Xianzhao's heart sank suddenly, and the arm holding the girl tightened even more.

"Chu Xianzhao, why did you kill him, you could break his limbs, put him in prison forever, and let him live like a dog, it's better than dead...... Why are you-" Su Younu looked directly at Chu Xianzhao and said, "You can do this, we have been a dog and slave for your Chu family for almost ten years, you can let him continue to do it, but why did you want to kill him-"

"......" Chu Xianzhao was in a heavy mood, but he didn't know how to explain it.

"If I don't kill him, he'll kill me, and then kill more people, I don't have a choice. Chu Xianzhao squeezed out the halberd between his teeth word by word.

She knows the answer, even if this answer is not what she wants, she is just forcing him, forcing Chu Xuanzhao to tell her the truth, but at the same time she hopes that this so-called truth is just a beautiful lie.

"Why did you kill him, why didn't it be someone else, so many master warriors in your Yin Kingdom, your father, General Meng Yu, so many people could easily kill him, why it must be you, but you killed him—why?" she bit the back of her hand with tears on her face.

No matter what Su Changqing did, no matter what the reason was, it was her brother, her own brother.

"I've been a slave for you for so many years, and for my sake, can't you spare him his life? Su Younu couldn't cry.

"It is precisely because of you and I that we want to kill him, Su Changqing will not die for a day, and you will live in his shackles for a day. Chu Xianzhao tilted his face, and tears slipped down from the corners of his eyes.

He cries a lot, but he doesn't think crying is a form of cowardice, but rather a kind of honesty.

But he will not cry in a desperate situation, he will not cry in front of the enemy, and to cry in front of them is to give up and put himself to death.

"Shackles? Who is alive in this world without shackles?"

"I'll take it off for you myself. Chu Xianzhao patted his chest and said, "You should be free, do you want to live in the shadow of your brother for the rest of your life?"

"...... for a lifetime," the girl said softly.

She was silent for a while: "Sometimes I often think, what is the restoration of the country, what is the sword arsenal in the west, those things have nothing to do with me, since His Majesty the Emperor brought me to you, I think you may be my life." I don't care about Xilin, but my brother is different, I just believe in him, and no matter what he does, I can't hate him. ”

"Now that you've killed my brother, I'm more relaxed, at least not for me to feel

I owe you much, much - now, it's time for me to die. With that, she flashed a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed her neck!

The tip of the knife stopped less than an inch away from the artery, and Chu Xianzhao grabbed her wrist to death: "I already owe you, so I don't want to deceive you anymore." Chu Xianzhao looked directly at Su Younu's teary eyes when he raised his head: "Your brother can die, but you can't die, unless you want to face a situation where you will never recover! You are the last parasitism of the Qi of the Xilin Zhenguo, once you die, your country will be shattered, just like the corpses of the Northern Barbarian Empire." You don't really want to know why your father didn't kill you back then, that's the real reason!

"Would you rather fulfill him than fulfill me?"

"Not only can't you die, the Qi of Xilin Zhenguo has been exhausted by your brother, Xilin must have a new emperor to replenish his luck, and you are the best emperor in this one!"

"I don't care. ”

"I care!" Chu instantly shook off her dagger.

Chu Xianzhao leaned on the bamboo with his arms crossed and said: "You only have two choices now, one is to go back to Xilin to be the emperor, and Guan Changye will teach you how to do it, unless you want to marry into the palace of the Great Yin Palace, and combine the spirit of your town and country in the west with the entanglement of the Great Yin, otherwise there is absolutely no room for mediation in this matter." ”

Su Younu was struck by lightning, his face was pale, and some words were not said thoroughly, he deceived himself, and he could spend his life in confusion and gags.

In fact, he already knew.

"Do you mean you're going to marry me?" said Su Younu.

"No, because I'm already engaged, my brother, you might as well consider it. Chu Xianzhao pretended to be relaxed.

"Are you playing with me, or are you playing with yourself. Su Younu said expressionlessly.

"I just want you to live. ”

", I don't want to see you again. ”

Half a column of incense after the time.

Walking out of the bamboo forest, he stood on the edge of the pool and gasped heavily, when he suddenly felt a big stone pressing down on his heart, making him breathless

"You do this, so how much will I love you in the future. These were the last words the maiden said to him.

Chu Xianzhao's eyes were also red: "You don't have to love me anymore." ”

At this time, the feeling between him and Su Younu seemed to be able to never get closer, but the result that Chu Xianzhao was facing now was so helpless.

Su Changqing was already fighting with himself with a mortal heart at that time, what if he spared his life, the two sides fell into an endless battle again, and then they were divided into life and death again? If he changed the way and broke Su Changqing's limbs and imprisoned him in Lin'an, would everyone be able to accept such a result?

He also loved her, all he was unwilling to deceive her.
