Nanchu, Imperial Palace.

"Won?" When Qi Zi heard the news of the Great Victory in Northern Xia, he didn't have too many expressions on his face, as if he was expecting it.

"Yes, Beixia completely drove the dog Rong away, and this battle can be said to be a very beautiful victory. A minister clenched his fists and said, "Although Northern Xia and Southern Chu have only fought, but at the same time, the people of the Central Plains, Northern Xia can drive the dog Rong away, and I still feel happy in my heart!"

Another minister said dissatisfiedly: "Northern Xia is just lucky, how can you grow the morale of others? Besides, this is also thanks to us, without us, would they be able to win so smoothly?"

"I'm not trying to make people angry, but I'm telling the truth. The minister said lightly, "We must recognize our enemies, we must point out their ugly places, and we must also see their excellent places!"

"Stop arguing. Qi Zi said lightly, "What's the situation over there now?"

"Nan Di has a lot of friction with us, and it seems that there is a big fight. A general stood up and spoke.

"What are the chances of winning if you start a war with Nandi?" asked in a cold voice as Qi Zi lightly tapped his fingers on the table.

"Because of the reason for returning from the defeat a year ago, the morale of the soldiers is very low at the moment, and with the long of Northern Xia, we have lost our troops and lost generals, and there are also problems with the supply of grain and grass. This wounded the enemy by 1,000 and self-inflicted 800, which was too much consumption for Southern Chu, so it was best to send envoys to negotiate peace. ”

"Really?" Qi Zi's eyebrows raised slightly, "What are the chances of letting a coalition soldier with Northern Xia fight against Nandi again?"

"Joining forces with Northern Xia?" As soon as Qi Zi's voice fell, several ministers below were stunned at the same time, not expecting that they would inevitably say such a thing as joining forces with Northern Xia, what was His Majesty thinking in his heart?

"If Northern Xia is willing to make a move, the odds of winning are still very high, and it is likely that they will be able to drive them out of Southern Xinjiang completely, just like the dog Rong!" the general said, "But will Northern Xia be willing?"

"Let's block Nan Di, Beixia owes us a favor, shouldn't we get this favor back?" Qi Zi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Xiushu Beixia, I want to have a good talk with their majesty, and also, call Mulan, the Three Kingdoms talks!"

"Yes. ”

Xuzhou.

Mo Ziyu was flipping through the herbs in the yard, and at this time, a clear shout came from behind: "Girl." ”

She turned around, only to see Qing Ling rushing towards her, she put down the herbs in her hand, and said with a smile: "Why are you here?"

Qing Ling blessed her body, and there were still some small beads of sweat on her forehead: "Your Majesty is gracious, let me come to visit the girl." ”

"Don't worry, I'm fine now. Mo Ziyu said, "It must have been hard along the way, let's go in and talk." ”

After entering, the servants served tea, and Mo Ziyu asked with a smile: "I heard Liu Xu say that the palace change in Nanchu was planned by you?"

"I just helped a little in the past, in fact, the chess pieces were buried by His Majesty a long time ago. Qing Ling smiled lightly.

"If it weren't for some changes in Nanchu, I'm afraid that Mulan would be in danger. Mo Ziyu said, "Qingling, I want to replace the people of Mulan, thank you." ”

"Qing Ling is just acting according to His Majesty's orders, I really can't afford it, if the girl wants to thank you, thank Your Majesty." Qingling said with a smile, "Seeing that everything is fine with the girl, I am also relieved in my heart, and now I see the girl's expression is very calm, presumably this kind of life is what the girl yearns for the most." ”

"I'm not the queen of Mulan now, I don't have any burden on my body, so I'm naturally the most relaxed. Mo Ziyu said, "By the way, is Changqing okay?"

"The prince is very good, he should be coming out of the pain, he is also thinking about the girl in his heart, if there is a chance, he will come to see the girl in person. Qing Ling said and took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Mo Ziyu, "This girl take a look." ”

Mo Ziyu took it and looked at it: "What kind of three-country talks? This is Qi Zi's initiative? What does he want to do?"

"Nan Di is restless now, he should want to unite with Northern Xia to attack Nan Di. Qing Ling said.

"Joining forces with Northern Xia, is it really fake? Will he really be willing to join forces with Northern Xia? Doesn't he hate Northern Xia? Will he put down his hatred? It won't be a Hongmen banquet, right? What does your majesty mean?" Mo Ziyu asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty means that he wants to temporarily settle the grievances with Mi Zi, and he is also willing to send troops to deal with Nan Di with Nan Chu. Qingling said, "This shouldn't be the Hongmen Banquet, Qi Zi pointed out in the letter, I hope you will also participate, I don't know what the girl means? Your Majesty said that if the girl is not willing to participate, it doesn't matter, he can deal with it." ”

"If this three-country meeting can truly usher in a peace between Northern Xia, Southern Chu and Mulan, no matter what, I will go to participate. Mo Ziyu said, "The scenery here is not bad, you can stay here for a few days, let's talk." ”

"I'm planning to do that too!" Qing Ling held Mo Ziyu's hand and smiled slightly, "There are still a few days left for the talks of the Three Kingdoms, and I will accompany the girl to participate in it then!"

"Jade girl, your master has found a very special patient, let you go over and have a look!" Situ picked up the stars and called inside, he glanced at the Qing Ling in the room, and said with a smile, "Yo, the little beauty is also here, we are fated, we meet again!"

Mo Ziyu said to Qing Ling: "You sit here, I'll go back, if the person in front of you is disrespectful, you just have to teach him a good lesson, you don't have to save face." ”

Qing Ling smiled and nodded.

Situ Juexing said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean, what do you mean by being disrespectful? I think you are prejudiced against me!"

Mo Ziyu trotted out, Situ Jiexing glanced at Qing Ling, rubbed his hands, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you here?"

Qing Ling rolled his eyes at him: "A dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth." ”

Situ Jiexing was not angry, and sat down with a smile: "Do you remember the first time we met? In the Yellow Crane Tower, I also hugged you! At that time, you were fierce, after all these years, you are still so fierce, not gentle at all, and I don't know that man will want you!"

"I don't need to be gentle, because I don't need a man!" Qing Ling said coldly, "And you, over the years, your flamboyant skills have become more and more sophisticated." I don't know what the girl thinks, but she will let you follow her?"

"Naturally, it's because I'm personable and strong in martial arts!" Situ Juexing said with a smile, "Think about it yourself, what did you girl do? What kind of thing didn't I do to help her by her side? Without me, you girl wouldn't be able to do anything! Also, this time on the battlefield of expelling dog Rong, haven't you heard of my heroic name? Mo Zijue, this guy promised me to spread my heroic deeds, so that all the girls in the capital will admire me, is this kid speechless?"

"Although you are a flamboyant person, every shape, but to tell the truth, your performance on the battlefield is still good!" Qing Ling raised his head slightly and praised reluctantly.

"Yes, I'll just say I'm very heroic!" Situ Xingxing said happily, "But it's rare to hear a word of praise from your mouth!"

The time for the trilateral talks was set for the Dragon Boat Festival.

Qingling stayed in Xuzhou for half a month, and then went with Mo Ziyu to attend the Three Kingdoms Talks, which took place at the junction of Southern Chu and Northern Xia.

Situ Jiexing and Qin Yi were not at ease, so they naturally followed together.

When Mo Ziyu arrived, Mi Zi, Liu Xu and Mi Qi had already arrived, and the three of them each sat on a chair, and the remaining chair was reserved for Mo Ziyu.

"I didn't expect you to be so punctual, it seems that I was late. Mo Ziyu stepped forward with a smile, "I didn't expect the three of you to talk, what did you ask me to do." ”

When she sat down, she asked, "Isn't it a meeting?" How are you talking? ”

Liu Xu looked at Mo Ziyu gently and said, "Just now we said that there is a peace covenant between Southern Chu and Northern Xia and Mulan, and there will be no war in the next thirty years. ”

"Really, this is a good thing!" Mo Ziyu said with a smile, she looked at Qi Zi and asked seriously, "Do you really forget those hatreds and are you really willing to usher in peace?"

There is no expression on Qi Zi's face, his expression is also very calm, and he no longer has the slightest youthful spirit on his body, he is now a mature and restrained emperor.

He has been losing all his life, first losing his parents and relatives, and almost losing the throne, then losing love, and then experiencing failure, experiencing the death of his lover, and these losses, the edges and corners of his body have been polished and smoothed little by little, those sunshines are gone, he stands on the lonely peak, the cold wind is cold, and no one can complain.

Mo Ziyu looked at the strong smell of loneliness emanating from Mi Zi's body, she was a little distressed, it was clear that everyone could have a better ending, why did it come to such a point?

Qi Zi swallowed his saliva and said, "For me now, revenge is no longer the most important thing. After the defeat, I returned to Nanchu with my subordinates, I saw a lot of things, Nanchu was strong under my governance, but the people did not become rich because of this, they were still ragged and hungry, they did not want the war to continue, after all, hatred is just my hatred, for them, just want to live well. The people's aspirations are so humble, they just want to be fed, clothed, and alive. ”

Sighing, Qi Zi said: "As an emperor, I don't want to trample on their humble wishes because of my own selfish desires, I only want to do one thing, to make the people rich and give them peace." I am the Emperor, and this is my responsibility. ”

"You can see the suffering of all living beings, and you will be a good emperor. Mo Ziyu said, "No more wars, no more people killed and injured because of wars, no one will leave their parents, wives and children, no families will be torn apart, this is a good thing for anyone." ”

Qi Zi put away the confusion in his eyes, glanced at Liu Xu, and continued: "Beixia owes Nan Chu a favor, so it should be repaid, right?"

"Do you want Northern Xia to send troops?" Liu Xu asked with one hand on his chin, "Can I trust you?"

"What do you think?" Qi Zi smiled faintly, "If you don't want to believe me, I don't care, it's not that Nan Chu can't deal with Nan Di!"

"But who are you right, Beixia does owe Nan Chu a favor. Liu Xu said, "Northern Xia will send troops to help." ”

"Thank you. ”

Qi Qi said: "Mulan is just a small country, if the two of you don't fight with immortals, Mulan will be good and won't suffer any hardships." If Nan Chu is really willing to live in peace forever, the grudge between Mulan and Nan Chu can be written off, for the sake of Mulan's future generations. However, in the last battle, Mulan's vitality was greatly damaged, and this time I am afraid that I will not have the strength to send troops to help again. ”

"It's enough to have Northern Xia willing to send troops. Qi Zi said lightly, "Mulan doesn't have to be mixed in anymore." ”

"Southern Chu, Northern Xia, and Mulan signed a peace covenant, but what about Western Wei?" Mo Ziyu asked, "Why don't you call Western Wei?"

"The great prince of Western Wei died at the hands of Northern Xia, do you think they will want to come and talk about it?" Qi Zi said lightly, "The grievances between Western Wei and Northern Xia will no longer have anything to do with Southern Chu in the future." ”

"The Western Wei Dynasty was greatly damaged, and it was not a climate within a few years, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Liu Xu said disdainfully, "If Xiwei still wants to hit a stone with an egg, I will naturally accompany him to the end!"

The talks between the three countries, there are only two things to talk about, one is to sign a peace covenant, and the other is that the Northern Xia sent troops to help Southern Chu expel the Southern Di, and the two things were negotiated very smoothly, but there are still many details that need to be discussed in detail, until the sky has darkened and has not yet been decided, so the three parties will camp nearby and settle down, and continue to negotiate tomorrow.

Inside the Mulan tent.

"I was also taken aback when I received Nan Chu's letter, I didn't expect him to be willing to put down his hatred first, I hesitated for a long time to participate, after all, Mulan and Nan Chu had just been at war, and there were still many people in the court who wanted to take revenge on Nan Chu, but then I still tried my best to come to this meeting. Qi Qi said, "Looking at it now, it is not in vain, the small border country of Mulan, if it can get the promise of Northern Xia and Southern Chu, there will be no more wars in the next thirty years, it is also a good thing." Qi Zi is right, there are always some things that are more important than revenge. ”

"yes. Mo Ziyu smiled slightly, "What's the point of fighting around! I have experienced a lot of battlefields, although I am only as a doctor, but I really don't want to see those mountains of corpses again, I don't want to see those stumps and broken arms, I don't want to hear the cries of pain anymore, although a long time has passed, but sometimes I still dream that I am on the battlefield, there are countless wounded people constantly transported, there are too many wounded, I can't be busy at all, I can only watch everyone die in pain. ”

After a pause, Mo Ziyu said again: "How are you now, how do you feel as the king of Mulan?"

"I regret agreeing to you to be this king, the pressure is even greater, and the responsibility on my shoulders is more. Qi Qi smiled bitterly, "It's clear that I was just a marquis of Nanchu at the beginning, relying on the shade on my mouth, I can eat and drink all my life without worrying, how did I slowly become a king, I am now busy every day, and there are endless pieces of music on the table." ”

"There's one thing I've thought about for a while, and I'm going to tell you about it. Mo Ziyu said, "My eldest brother has found it, but he doesn't want to go back to the palace, he just wants to live a secluded life without being disturbed, I hope you can understand and don't have to disturb his current life." ”

In fact, the matchmaker hurriedly explained what she was responsible for, and then after saying goodbye, I guessed what happened. Qi Qi said, "I also know what you are worried about, you can rest assured, I will not bother him, if he wants to return to this throne, I will not have any nostalgia." ”

After talking to Mi Qi, Mo Ziyu felt much more comfortable, she walked out of the tent and wanted to go to the lake to relax, but she didn't expect Mi Zi to be by the lake, he stood by the lake, looking at the direction of the center of the lake with his hands in contemplation.

The moonlight is slightly cool, the lake is sparkling, and the mountains are hazy in the distance.

Mo Ziyu wanted to avoid it, but she bit her lip and thought about it, but she still stepped forward.

"I'm sorry. Mo Ziyu said.

Mi Zi didn't look back, still looking at the inky lake, and said lightly: "It's all now, who is sorry for whom, and who can still tell the difference?"

"Yes, I've known each other for so many years, you save me, I save you, you help me, I help you, love or hatred, how can it be separated?" Mo Ziyu sighed slightly, " When I first met, you were still a carefree son, at that time I was just a concubine in the Qi Palace, who would have thought that a few years later, you would become the emperor of Southern Chu, and I have experienced so many things, and I became the queen of Mulan by mistake, in a trance, it was almost ten years ago, ten years, how many decades are there in life?"

"My life has changed dramatically over the years, and I still remember the last time I went to Mulan alone to find you. Qi Zi turned his head and glanced at Mo Ziyu, "At that time, you warned me not to wait until I lost it to know what I cared about the most, I didn't understand it at that time, and it wasn't until Ping Ling left that I found out that I had fallen in love with her for a long time, but I was too used to it, and I just kept chasing your back and ignored her." Maybe others have already seen through it, but I'm a fan of the authorities and can't see through it. I'm not going to chase your shadow anymore, I already know what is most important to me. ”

"I'm sorry about the peace of mind. It's just that you can now understand what you really want, which is a good thing. Mo Ziyu said, "We have a love of mutual support, and there is a river of blood, we are still friends, but we will not see each other again in the future, so it is best for us, right?"

Mi Zi nodded: "Forget about each other in the rivers and lakes." ”

Mo Ziyu patted his arm and smiled slightly: "Friend, take care." ”

"You too. Qi Zi said, "Although I won't bless you and Liu Xu, I still hope that you can be happy." ”

Mo Ziyu paused slightly and smiled bitterly and left.

After Mo Ziyu left, Mi Zi was still standing by the lake, looking at the calm lake, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, there were footsteps behind him again, he turned his head slightly to look at it, and smiled slightly: "Long time no see." ”

Situ Jiexing clasped his hands behind his head, looked at the moon, and said seemingly unintentionally: "Today's moonlight is so beautiful!"

"yes, it's beautiful. ”

Both of them were silent, and no one knew why the two brothers, who had once spoken to everything, had gradually drifted apart to the embarrassing point they are today.

"You have the majesty of an emperor now, and I don't even dare to look at you directly. Situ Juexing said, "Are you happy?"

Mi Zi looked at Situ Zhuxing, smiled bitterly and said: "They only tell me about the responsibility and prestige of being the emperor, and no one has asked me if the emperor is happy! ”

"I've traveled a lot of places over the years, all of them are good places, if you don't want to be this emperor that day, we can still walk together, and that day will be very lively!" Situ Jiexing grabbed his hair, "Although you will have some stinky virtues after becoming an emperor, don't worry, I won't dislike you." ”

Qi Zi pursed her lips and smiled, and her mood relaxed a lot: "I have heard a lot of things about you, and you have been living a prosperous life over the years." ”

"It's okay, I'm a person, I can live a prosperous life anywhere!" Situ Jiexing stretched his waist, "I have to go back to sleep, I'm older, but I can't fool around casually than when I was young, you can rest early! I will go to Nanchu when I have time to see my eldest nephew." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you. ”

The moonlight was still very bright, and Qi Zi looked at the moon, and there was a hint of softness in her resolute gaze.

As soon as Mo Ziyu returned to her tent, she felt that her arm was dragged hard, and then she turned around and was pressed to the bed.

"Liu Xu?" Mo Ziyu frowned, "What are you doing?"

"Why do you want to have a private meeting with Mi Zi?" Liu Xu pressed Mo Ziyu on the bed and said sourly.

"I didn't!" Mo Ziyu thought of breaking away from him, but asked him to hold her hands and wrists and press them on top of her head, "I went out to breathe and met him." ”

"Then why did you talk for so long?"

"It's been a long time?" Mo Ziyu frowned, "But what does it matter to you!"

"You don't care about me?" Liu Xu stared at Mo Ziyu hatefully, and kissed her red lips.

Mo Ziyu's lips were ravaged by her, and then turned to the side: "Don't go too far." ”

Liu Xu was still afraid that Mo Ziyu would be angry and stay measured, so he asked angrily, "You haven't answered my question yet." ”

Mo Ziyu sighed and said, "I'm just saying goodbye to him, but I just said a few words, you have eaten too much vinegar! Get out of the way, or I'm welcome!"

"Farewell?" Liu Xu hurriedly let go of Mo Ziyu, "Is it just a farewell?"

Mo Ziyu glared at him, then walked to the edge of the tent and lifted the curtain: "Go out, otherwise I will call someone, don't be ashamed when the time comes!"

"You have the ability, you are called!" Liu Xu said cheekily, "When the time comes, we will lose face together!"

He saw that Mo Ziyu's face changed, as if there were signs of anger, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, and said with a flattering smile: "Don't be angry, I was wrong, I shouldn't suspect you and Mi Zi, and I shouldn't have done anything to you!

"Who kissed you secretly!" Mo Ziyu glared at Liu Xu angrily, "Don't talk nonsense." ”

"Yu'er, I'm scared. Liu Xu took a step closer to Mo Ziyu, looked into her eyes and said, "I was afraid that you would have mercy on Mi Zi, and followed him again." ”

"Liu Xu, I've said goodbye to Mi Zi, let's say goodbye here!" Mo Ziyu said.

"What do you mean?" asked Liu Xu with a straight face.

"There is no possibility between us. Mo Ziyu said, "I promised Qi Muxuan, I won't be with the emperor of Northern Xia, Liu Xu, you let go, let's say goodbye here with dignity." It's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes, maybe we can all remember our best appearance. ”

"I'm not going to let go. Liu Xu looked at Mo Ziyu and said seriously, "One day, you will see my heart." ”

After the words fell, Liu Xu opened the curtain and left quickly.

Qin Yi then entered, holding his sword, looked at Mo Ziyu and asked, "Are you okay?"

Mo Ziyu shook his head lightly and said, "I'm fine." ”

"Are you crying, but he bullied you?" Qin Yi asked with a frown.

Mo Ziyu touched her face, and sure enough, there were tears, she wiped them away and squeezed out a smile: "No, I don't know why I cried." ”

Early the next morning, the three parties continued to negotiate on some detailed issues until noon, when the general direction was determined, and the remaining details were left to the ministers to continue the discussions.

Now that the direction has been set, the meeting can be regarded as officially over, and the three parties have left separately.

Mo Ziyu was the last to leave, she looked at the place where the meeting was held, and she didn't know how the history books would record this meeting, but for the people, thirty years of peace would be such a precious thing! And this place will definitely be remembered forever by the people of the Three Kingdoms.

"Let's go too. Mo Ziyu said to Situ Zhuxing and Qin Yi, "It's time for us to continue our journey!"

The three rode away.

With birds circling, lakes reflecting, fog and fog, the place is as calm as ever.
