Leaving behind a letter of resignation and a seal in the prime minister's house, I rode out of the city overnight, bypassing my watchers.

I went to the border gate.

It's a place where war is raging, and it's where I should be.

Yang Jie hadn't seen me for a long time, he was very surprised, but compared to this, he felt even happier, after all, the situation between Qin and Qi is tense now, and frictions have occurred many times.

I handed him half of the talismans on my body, and brought the other half to Jiang Hewei of Wolf Xu Pass, and then stayed here for three months.

Three months later, I received a letter from home, which was handed over to me by Yang Jie.

He told me that under the pretext of speaking to my father alone, my mother had committed suicide at my father's grave by discharging the maids who had accompanied her, which she had left to me before she died.

I laughed and laughed at the time.

It turned out that in my mother's heart, I was never as good as my father, and she would rather leave me with this great sadness and loneliness than live with me.

Staggering into the jungle, I didn't even dare to glance at the "letter from home" that had been specially given to me.

I don't know how long I ran, but when I was exhausted, I finally fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

In this world, I have lost even the last relative, I once sarcastically said that Cen Xi is already a lonely person, and he still regrets himself, and now I am the same as him.

Ha ha...... This is retribution, my mother is right, I am a person who will go to eighteen layers of hell.

"Qingzhi ......" Yang Jie gasped, and finally found me in the depths of the jungle when the moon was bright, he wanted to take a step closer to me, but he was afraid of startling me, and he could only call my name softly when he hesitated.

I buried my head between my knees, silently, without speaking.

"Lord Shen Xiang, go back, there are the last generals guarding here, it's enough." Yang Jie hesitated, but still said this sentence.

Silence, I can only be silent, here, heaven and earth, should be the same as me, pitch black.

Yang Jie never seems to have encountered this situation, he doesn't know how to comfort me, he is not even sure whether to comfort me, you know, Shen Qingzhi, the prime minister of Qinguo, has always been high in the clouds, she is the strongest barrier in Qinguo, and she is where everyone in Qinguo looks up, how can she have a vulnerable side?

I'm afraid she won't even allow it herself.

"Ling Ci's Letter...... I still have to ...... after all" Yang Jie paused and handed the "family letter" to my hand.

I was shocked, my fingertips rubbed against the thin piece of paper, and my eyes suddenly turned red again, but this time I held back.

"Hey, Yang Jie," I looked up at a bush in front of me, "What does your mother look like, do you remember?" ”

Yang Jie was stunned, simply put down his saber, and sat next to me.

"I guess I still have some memories."

His mother died of an illness when he was three years old, what can a three-year-old remember?

"Isn't she beautiful?"

Yang Jie thought hard, shook his head and said, "No, she is just an ordinary woman, but my father said that in this world, there is no more beautiful woman than my mother, maybe this is in the eyes of a lover, my mother...... She has always given me a gentle feeling, gentle to the bone. ”

I smiled lightly and lowered my eyes lonely, "They all say that rich idlers are flowers, but my mother has never been like this, I have never seen anyone stronger than her, once you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, you must not know how a good woman with no power to restrain her chickens survives in such a place, the betrayal of her husband, the alienation of her children, and the difficulties of her elders...... For the sake of love words, it turns out that women can do this. ”

"I remember one time when I accidentally broke into the ancestral hall and kicked over the incense and candles offered inside, my grandmother was furious when she found out and ordered someone to beat me to death, but my mother protected me...... On that day, I have never forgotten that pale and weak face. ”

"Actually," I clenched my sleeves, my voice quivering slightly, "I have never resented her, she has given me everything she can give, but I, not only have I failed to give her the glory she deserves, but even because of me, she suffers so much." ”

"I haven't even had time to ......"

I thought that after leaving this time, my mother and I could calm down, forget the pain given by each other, and go down together, but ......

She was so ruthless.

A cold night breeze blew through the light in front of me, there was no rain or snow, only the swaying branches and leaves were still scattered with fragmented shadows.

I tried to shrink back, but the warmth never seemed to be far away from me.

"Read the letter." Countless words passed between his lips and teeth, and in the end, Yang Jie only said this one sentence.

I can only say this one sentence.

Stiffening, I took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to open the envelope.

No matter how much hatred I have, I should be good and write it down word by word.

Qingzhi, I love: Weiniang is going to see your father, don't blame Weiniang for being too selfish, you flew so high, far away to the place where Weiniang can't see, Weiniang can't catch up with your footsteps, you can only silently hope that there is a scenery you want to see in such a high place.

In this life, there are only two things that I don't regret as a mother, one is to meet your father, and the other is to have you. Forgive Wei Niang for saying such things that hurt you, I just hope that when I leave, you can be less sad. Hundred Flowers Literature

Live well, there will always be sunshine and rain after the thorns, which is also the last expectation of your mother.

Smack.

Tears rolled down my cheeks and fell on the ink, and from then on, there would never be anyone in this world who was so gentle with me.

I still haven't been able to go back to see my mother for the last time, Gu Yuancheng has also come to the Qi army, and the situation on the border has become more tense, almost to the point where I can't relax at all, Cen Xi ordered me to be the overseer and supervise the army.

The aftermath of the mother's death was personally ordered by Cen Xi, and He Qiong and Huaishu also helped a lot in it, it was very beautiful and decent, and the funeral of the first-class lady was naturally to mourn the city.

I carved my mother's spirit card with my own hands, during the mourning period, I had to come to my mother's spirit card almost every day to talk to her, and then the war became more and more frequent, and I gradually went less, but no matter how busy I was, I would always find time to see my mother.

Spring goes to autumn, time flies, in the blink of an eye I stayed at the border for three years, and the war between Qin and Qi also fought for three years, in three years, countless soldiers spilled blood on the battlefield, hundreds of people were displaced, the world was in turmoil, and the lamentation of life and death was sung almost to every corner of the mainland.

No one knows how many unjust ghosts and wild ghosts there are, and no one cares, and on the road to being called the king and the emperor, he is stepping on the corpse step by step.

"It's already the limit." At the top of the mountain, I watched the soldiers fighting below, and let out a deep breath.

Whether it is Qin or Qi, they have reached their limits.

"Have you already figured out how to end this war?" Yang Jie looked at me.

I paused, looking away from the battlefield down the hill.

"Wait, at most tonight, he will deliver the letter of engagement to your tent."

Yang Jie didn't understand what I meant, but when he asked again, I had already walked away.

In the evening, the sky was full of clouds.

I was lying on the treetops staring at the sky in a daze, and Yang Jie suddenly ran to the bottom of the tree with something in his hand to find me.

"Lord Shen Xiang, the envoy sent by the Qi State has arrived, and he said that at the moment of the day, the dense forest is at the extreme cliff, and he will fight to the death."

With a slight blink of an eye, I just said "um" and said nothing more.

Yang Jie waited under the tree for a long time, but never heard me speak, although he hesitated in his heart, he still decided to turn around and go back to the camp, but he had only taken a step when a voice came from the treetops.

"Tomorrow, I will lead the whole army, and you can sit in the rear."

Shocked, Yang Jie immediately leaned down and knelt in front of me, "By all means, the dense forest is already dangerous, and it is not suitable to bring a large number of soldiers, how can the last general shirk his responsibility and let you go?" ”

"Needless to say, the matter has been decided, and there will be no changes."

"But......" Yang Jie had to persuade again, but I had already flown up and drifted away.

The next day, in the dense forest, the sun was just right.

The wind is light and the clouds are light, and there are no waves.

I have been to the dense forest no less than three times, although I am not familiar with it, but I am not unfamiliar with it, I took hundreds of people around the corner, and soon arrived at the place where the envoy of the Qi State said.

This is the rear of the Blood Alliance's main pavilion, and it is also the place where Shaohong and I fell off the cliff at the beginning, I am not surprised that Gu Yuancheng would choose here.

The final competition is coming after all, whether it is Qin or Qi, no one wants this last battle to be in the homeland that the other party is familiar with.

What's more, in the past three years, there have been too many dead and wounded, and in the end, some people can be sacrificed, perhaps...... It can be regarded as the remaining selfishness between me and him.

"After three years of fighting, this time, we finally met." I slowly drew the long sword in my hand, my eyes were piercing and my expression was indifferent.

"Yes," Gu Yuancheng looked at me fixedly, as if he wanted to laugh, but he seemed to be sad, "It's been three years, and we've only seen this side." ”

Three years, how many days and nights has he been thinking about her?

I don't know.

Maybe not even thought about it for a moment.

"Don't talk nonsense," I looked away and tried to calm my mind, "Today, either you die or I die." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, my figure flashed out in an instant, and the sharp sword stabbed at his vital point.

Seeing the commander dispatched, the Qin army also rushed forward one after another, and fought with the Qi army.

"Last time, I did it first, but this time it's your turn." Gu Yuancheng smiled bitterly, raised his hand and blocked my attack with his sword.

I gritted my teeth and used my internal force to jerk him back.

"If you talk nonsense, don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword."
