176. Expectations

"Why did you bring me here?" Qin Nanxi shook the hand held by Situ Yi and looked around puzzled.

On the tower of the city gate, the soldiers who were fighting at night retreated with interest. The small two quadrangular watchtowers, one left and one right, look across the city tower. A pair of alert eyes that seem to be suspended in the night sky. Lonely and cold, guarding the tranquility inside and outside the city. Four pillars and one top, transparent on all sides, condescending, there is the cold of this high place, but also there is a lofty and superb vision. It's just that such a small watchtower is narrow and dim, and the two of them are standing in it, which is already slightly crowded.

The wind is light on this night, but in the end, it is a frosty wax moon. Qin Nanxi was still shivering from the cold. Seeing that Situ Yi was silent and didn't answer, he didn't ask any more questions, just because of his focused gaze, he looked down to the city.

The moonlight was dim, vaguely clear, and beside the narrow passage outside the city gate, there were a bunch of people huddled on the left and on the right, and there were some refugees returning from the north. During the day, the city greeted the triumphant division, and these rootless refugees were driven into the darkness to take refuge. Only when the true darkness comes, will they dare to shrink back and continue their days of suffering.

"Brother Yi~" Qin Nanxi looked at his eyebrows that were getting deeper and deeper, and called in a low voice.

Situ Yi did not expect to encounter the difficulty of meeting the refugees with his own eyes, and was stunned for a while. Hearing her soft call, he came back to his senses at will, turned his head and saw her trembling shoulders, he didn't feel distressed, smiled warmly, took her into his arms, and explained softly: "There are eyeliners everywhere in the city, it's quieter here." ”

"Eyeliner? Is it Prince Changping's man? ”

Situ Yi nodded, his warm palm slowly caressing her spine.

Qin Nanxi obediently crouched in the crook of his neck, rubbing his fingers against the fine zigzag on his neckline, and asked in a low voice: "Since you know that he has no tolerance for others, why do you take such a big risk?" ”

"Adventure?" Situ Yi sighed and shook his head, he did this for a reason that he had to do, but it was also something he felt he should do. He thought that his efforts could alleviate some of the hardships of his desperate suffering, but when the war ended, what he saw was that they were born more difficult.

Letting go of a hand and pointing at the refugees sleeping outside the city, Situ Yi said as if comforting himself: "Look at them, no matter how hard and bitter they are, as long as there is no war, they will still have a chance to survive after all." ”

Qin Nanxi glanced at the people under the city with pity, and comforted each other softly: "Fortunately, the war has subsided." If it weren't for you, I don't know when this war would end! ”

Situ Yi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Hey, this war, in the final analysis, is just a means for our people!" Whether it is to start a war, to take advantage of the war situation, or to quell the chaos and end the war, it is all based on disaster. As soon as the war ended, the world changed, the king worshiped the generals, the glory and wealth, and each was included in the bag as he wished. Who of us cares about their life and death and bitterness? ”

"Brother Yi, don't say that, you're different from them." Qin Nanxi held back the sourness of his nose and held his slightly trembling hand. Originally, he just wanted to find out if his adventure was related to his father, but he didn't want to arouse the deepest helplessness and anger in his heart.

"It's no different, they're all people in the field, how clean can I be?" Situ Yi laughed at himself, smiling with infinite sadness.

Qin Nanxi was sad and silent, speechless, what he said was right, who can be alone in the Lilu field?

"If I don't do it this time, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future. Fortunately, now that Helo is dead, Wuda is also old, Li Miao is still in the court, and he will attack the title of Count Guanglie in the future. At least, for seven or eight years, or even more than ten years, Beidi is powerless to invade. Situ Yi said lightly, and his long sigh exhausted his helplessness and sadness. This is the best result of his hard work, although there are regrets but also relief.

"Why won't there be a chance in the future?" Qin Nanxi asked in surprise, and the sudden fear in her heart made her back frozen straight when she leaned softly on his arms.

Situ Yi turned around and hid her in his arms, avoiding the occasional night breeze at the head of the city, and just let his eyes avoid the refugees huddled under the city. Taking her out of the garrison mansion was because he felt that it was boring, and he didn't want the sorrow in his heart to infect her.

Looking down at her, Situ Yi's smile gradually relaxed: "Didn't someone say that what you want in this life is only to hold hands and rely on each other, mountains and rivers?" Think about it, if you learn from Fan Li, you can sail in the red dust with your beloved beauty, and it is not bad to be a pair of fairy couples! ”

After hearing this, Qin Nanxi didn't care about his shyness, and looked up in surprise and said, "You mean, you really want to retire?" ”

Situ Yi stared down at her and said with a smile: "A dead end, a retreat." Am I not going to die? ”

Qin Nanxi said with a slight annoyance: "Since you already understood that it was a dead end, why did you do this? Still changing the definite strategy? ”

Situ Yi smiled even deeper, and teased her: "It was Nanxi girl who worried about the country and the people, and asked me to 'follow the trend'!" How dare I disobey Madame? ”

Qin Nanxi's eyes were filled with shock, and he said in a trembling voice: "Is it really because of me, what I said?" After a pause, he hurriedly explained: "When my father ordered me to take Asouf to look for you, he didn't have any extra explanations except for asking me to take good care of you. Brother Yi, why are you so confused? Take my words for Daddy? ”

Situ Yi listened, but his eyebrows were slightly twisted, and even his voice seemed to be soaked in the cold of the night: "When did I take your words as the meaning of Mr.?" ”

"Mr. Liu said that you originally only planned to relieve the siege of Tongguan, but you suddenly summoned several major jiedu envoys, and chased Kou to the north of Yunze. Sir, it was all because you received a secret letter before the war. He, he doubted the letter......"

"I suspect that the letter was delivered by the gentleman?" Situ Yi's face was expressionless, his slender but rough fingers were absentmindedly caressing the hair that was blowing on the side of Qin Nanxi's cheeks, and he took a long time before he continued: "Outside, the monarch's order is still acceptable, not to mention that it is just a strategy agreed in advance." There are many changes before the array, and it is normal for the camera to change. Ruoqing may just be worried that my move is too risky, and he is a little more angry. ”

Situ Yi did not explain to Liu Qi as he had done on previous occasions that he had no intention of targeting her father. His innocuous words sounded more perfunctory, however, looking at his eyes full of cold moonlight, Qin Nanxi had no choice but to be suspicious, slowly leaned his face back to his heart, and pleaded in a low voice: "Brother Yi, take me away, as you said, boating in the red dust, happy and happy." The world is magnificent, why bother with this rich cage? ”

After being silent for a moment, Situ Yi suddenly smiled and said, "Nan Xi wants me to hang up the seal and seal the gold and leave the account to resign?" ”

Qin Nanxi raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Yi is unwilling? ”

"Yes, how could you not want to! Seal the gold and hang the seal, and go away, it sounds suave! It's just that we're really in a hurry! ”

"Why?" Qin Nanxi blinked, wondering why he said he didn't leave.

Situ Yi couldn't hold back a laugh, bowed her head and whispered something in her ear. Qin Nanxi's delicate little face burned red. She has long regarded him as the most precious and only one in her heart, and even forgot that they have not really married, forgetting that her father is looking forward to the return of the two in pairs.

"When the gentleman is relieved, we will leave." Situ Yi said with a smile, "It's just that boating in the rivers and lakes, I'm afraid it won't work!" ”

Qin Nanxi bit the corner of his lip and said strangely: "Why can't you go boating in the rivers and lakes?" ”

Situ Yi looked at the serious fear in her eyes, and said happily, "I don't know how to fish at all!" Why don't you come with me to Mount Amiri? I'm a first-class hunter! ”

Qin Nanxi was stunned, couldn't cry or laugh, paused for a moment, and deliberately got up: "Don't, I can't eat those fishy meat!" I'd rather go back to Yunxiu Valley and eat pears to satisfy my stomach! It doesn't matter if you catch fish and shrimp, or plough the fields and hunt! ”

"Yunxiu Valley? It's a great place to listen to the name! Where is it? ”

"Youzhou Cuiwei Mountain! There are pear trees all over the mountain, and every spring, the mountain is white and fragrant. Qiong crumbs fluttering, get up early every day, under the steps in front of the door, a place of snow. Often, even the mountain streams are stained with the fragrance of pear blossoms, revealing sweetness. In mid-autumn, the pears are ripe and the col is full of fruity fragrance...... "Qin Nanxi is intoxicated with the memories of his childhood and his beautiful expectations for the future." didn't notice it at all, but Situ Yi's eyes were like the gradually weak stars in the morning lan, and they dimmed a little.

Staring at the yearning light in her eyes, Situ Yi didn't seem to dare to look at it anymore, raised his head to avoid her, his cold chin rested against her soft eyebrows, with hesitation, and even a trace of imperceptible fear, and said in a low voice: "Nanxi, if, one day ......"

Qin Nanxi was immersed in lightness, and her voice was full of happiness: "What is one day? ”

Situ Yi looked at the smile in her eyes and suppressed the question in her heart: If one day, you find that your brother Xu is still alive, are you still willing to stay by my side?

"Someday what?" Qin Nanxi didn't give up, grabbed his collar and shook it softly to ask.

Situ Yi reached out and gently stroked the ends of the hair scattered on the side of her face, and sighed with a slight smile, "If one day, I can really accompany you in such a beautiful place, how good!" ”
