When Du Rong was dying, his adopted son Du Sheng cried very sadly, he knelt in front of his bed and asked him, "Father, in this life, do you have any regrets?" My son will definitely try his best to find a way to make amends. ”

Du Rong's gaze swept lightly from his tearful face, and he raised a hand to point to an extremely special box that had been quietly placed on the desk.

"When I die, don't bury it with me, just take good care of it."

Du Sheng looked at the box, turned to look at him again, and asked with some incomprehension, "Isn't that something that you have always been with?" ”

He looked at the box, his gaze softening for a moment.

In the blur, it seemed that the person who had been on the tip of his heart reappeared in front of him.

"One day, my remains will turn into a wisp of dust in the dust, but it is different, it is immortal ......"

It is a secret, a secret that cannot be told under thousands of peach branches.

And this secret will never fade with the passage of time.

His life is enough to go down in history.

It was he who saved thousands of people in Qizhou from war from Emperor Qin's eyes, it was he who protected the comfort of the Du family for thousands of years, and finally seized the world and stabilized the society, and it was he who became the foundation of an unprecedentedly powerful dynasty in the future.

Later generations will caress the history books and praise his unparalleled exploits, and will also surrender to his foresight and extraordinary means, but even if they look through the history books, they must not know that a long, long time ago, this character they admired was never pretending to be a family and a country.

He had seen her when he was very young.

It is also a peach forest, and it is also the season of falling flowers.

At that time, he thought how interesting it would be if such a strange girl could go to the academy with him.

Later, he actually met her at the academy.

Dressed like a jade man, with a pair of resolute and forbearant eyes, the fragility of her heart was exposed to his eyes almost instantly, but she dug up the ice like that, did not shrink, did not retreat, conquered everyone, and also messed up his heart.

He felt sorry for her, if she was really a man, she would definitely be able to achieve immortal feats, but gradually, he was secretly happy about it.

She is a daughter, really good, like the peach blossoms in March, blooming at this time, scorching into the eyes, and nothing else.

He began to try to get close to her.

When the students of Baihe Academy were studying, they all had to live in the academy, and she was no exception.

At first, she was very restrained and even defensive against him, and she was on guard day and night.

He looked at her cautious eyes, and actually wanted to laugh in his heart, but for some reason, he couldn't laugh.

Whether it was her who was trembling with peach branches that day, or she who was cautious now, he would feel inexplicably distressed.

He could see the sadness in her eyes.

Faint, flowing, can never be erased.

I don't know when his eyes began to follow her, and he wanted to do his best to heal all the pain in her heart and give her a happy future.

He thought he could, he would definitely be able to, until one day, the crown prince Cen Xi appeared in the White Crane Academy.

She went to see him almost immediately.

It's not heartbeat, it's not love, it's a bond, a bond that is difficult to break in this life.

She was such a smart and active girl, he should have thought that she couldn't just study in the academy like that, everything she did, every step she took, she had already thought about the purpose and result.

"Qingzhi, what do you think of me compared to Pei Ling?"

"You're better than him."

"What about Yang Huaishu?"

"You're better than him."

"Cai Yu, He ......"

"You're better than anyone else, you're the nicest person in the world...... I beg you, it's already midnight, just let me sleep, I'll see Lu Fuzi's iron-faced king tomorrow morning, my heart is still trembling. ”

"Okay, I can put you to sleep, but you'll have to answer my last question."

"What?"

"Is Cen Xi good-looking, or am I good-looking?"

“……”

"You're hesitating?"

"Du Rong, are you getting your head caught in the door today?"

“……”

"If you want to talk about the beautiful men in this world, I, Shen Qingzhi, dare to call the second, who dares to call the first? Are you as good-looking as I am? It's all too much. ”

“……”

Later, he made a move.

Long before Cen Xi, long before Gu Yuancheng, long before everyone.

He said he wanted to take her away, and she agreed without hesitation.

For many, many years to come, he always remembered that day, that moment of joy, even in the deepest and most desperate moments.

But she is not, so at dusk and sunset, the bright moon and stars are scarce, and he is the only one under the city gate. 89 Literature Network

Loneliness, waiting, seems to have become a curse for his life, and he can no longer unravel it.

He knows her skills best. When she was in the White Crane Academy, in fact, even He Qiongpei ordered them, they admired her, and it was almost logical for her to choose the master, calculate the plan, help the Son of Heaven to Kuang Sheji, and finally sit in the position of prime minister.

He knew where she wanted to fly, so he left, and watched her quietly in the remote Qizhou for so many years, and finally, she bloomed such a gorgeous peach blossom.

Swaying with the wind, scorching into the flowers, between heaven and earth, there is nothing that can compete with her.

No matter how beautiful a flower is, there will be a day when it will wither, and people are no exception.

He didn't want anything to happen to her, so he secretly left Qizhou and went to find her again.

It was always cold in the depths of winter, but when he saw her in the icy air, everything suddenly became warmer.

Soft, warm, like falling snowflakes.

He has been with her through many life and death difficulties, openly, secretly, what she knows, what she doesn't know, and there are many years of time.

He wasn't afraid to spend time on her, because that's what he wanted, he was just afraid that one day, the person who should be with her would no longer be himself.

Yet that crisis arose.

Gu Yuancheng, a name that he will never forget for the rest of his life.

It was he who snatched a peach blossom from the tip of his heart, and let the falling flowers bury him in despair.

He has worked harder, in Qizhou City, he has been waiting for her to come, but in the end, the bright moon is wrong, and the stars are difficult to shine.

His father had forbidden him to associate with her again.

In her father's eyes, she has always been a good apprentice, but she is also the supreme prime minister of Qinguo, the nemesis of Qizhou, and his calamity.

He is burdened with the fate of the entire family and the expectations of his father, and he should not be entangled in these insignificant children's relationships.

It didn't work well to convince himself like this, and he finally sneaked out to meet her.

When she looked at him with a feeling, his breathing almost stopped.

It turns out that for her, he is also a special existence, indelible and deep into the soul.

Is that enough?

That's not enough.

But he no longer had the capital to follow in her footsteps.

His time has come.

The time of farewell had already crept between him and her.

After finally accompanying her and settling the matter of the Blood Alliance, he finally took that last step.

In fact, when he was in prison, he kept thinking about what Bai Wuxin said when he came to him when he was in Qi Guo.

Bai Wuxin said, the past and the present, the past and the past, dissipated like a cloud of smoke, the grievances between the two races should be the same, just like what he thought in his heart, even if the life and the world will never fade, it will not be able to withstand the law of heaven and earth where flowers bloom and fall, it is better to take a step back, and both races can take a breath and share prosperity.

Meet someone halfway...... Bai Wuxin was right, whether it was him, Gu Yuancheng and Cen Xi, they all pushed her too hard, she was so tired every day, she was not free, and she was not happy.

He didn't want her to live like that, and he was afraid of her living like that.

After all, someone has to take that step, and since the time has chosen him, he may have to obey the destiny of heaven.

He had thought that she would break into the prison to save him.

But when she carried him on his back and broke out of the prison with a sword and one by one, he suddenly had an impulse - he regretted it, and he wanted to try again.

However, when he asked her tentatively, looking into her eyes, he suddenly understood that the cause of fate and the end of the day will come and go.

Their fate has come to an end.

Indulgent nostalgia, indulgent, he should still go.

He didn't give himself a chance to regret it from the beginning, so he walked so decisively that he didn't even dare to look at her again.

For many, many years to come, he could remember the pain and sorrow in her eyes when he left, and the faint sunset on the horizon as red as blood

In fact, he has always had the opportunity to make her fall in love with himself.

As early as when he was in Jiangnan, he could take her away, stay away from all the rights and wrongs of this officialdom, tie her to his side, and never be separated for the rest of his life.

If there is a righteous person who says that the twisted melon is not sweet, in fact, it will not, a girl like her, although her mind is meticulous, but in the face of feelings is very simple, her heart is like a stone wrapped in ice, as long as she spends a lifetime to cover it, warm, she will naturally fall in love with him, and gradually give rise to residual warmth.

It would be ridiculous to say that there would be other people to stop him, Cen Xi was not in power at that time, and Gu Yuancheng was also from Qi State, so they couldn't move him, he was completely sure that he could be with her, and he would grow old with him.

In fact, his heart is the most cold and hard, even in the face of her, he will not change his decision, but that day in the light rain in Jiangnan, in the dim tavern, he looked at her sad and sad expression, listening to her painful murmur, he suddenly couldn't do it, no matter what, even if he had already laid out the bureau in Jiangnan for her.

He has never made any bets in his life, only her, and he has used almost all the courage in this life to gamble on an impossible future.

But he lost in the end.

Lost to the Emperor's family, lost to the Du family, lost to the Mandate of Heaven, and lost to her.

If someone asks him if he regrets it, he will tell that person with certainty that he regrets it, and if there is a second chance, he will not hesitate to take her away, but there is no chance to start over in life, he can only hope for the next life.

Raising his eyes again to look at the quaint box, he smiled softly and slowly closed his eyes.

He had a dream, the dream was the peach forest in the mountain behind Yong'an Temple, a large area of peach blossoms fluttering, a little girl in pink clothes and streamers stood on the stone steps paved with falling flowers, while blinking her bright eyes, while nibbling on the green peaches that she found out of nowhere.

Little Peach is obviously very sour, but she has a smile in her eyes, lonely, lonely, which makes people feel distressed.

Later, this dream was left with a large blank space.
