Bai Liyu looked down at the hand in his palm.

Dry, charred and covered with dark brown spots.

Luo Ji finally had the strength to withdraw his hand, turned around halfway, did not face Bailiyu, and said in an unkind tone: "If you can't find it, you don't have to come back?" When calamity comes, who gives you the right to send my son away? ”

Bai Liyu silently tugged at the corner of his lower lip, "Ah Yao, he is also my son." Our son. ”

Luo Jia stiffened and ignored it.

Bai Liyu said slowly: "I let him go because his wife once told me that the so-called way of husband and wife is to fight side by side in the most difficult times and become the most trusting support for each other." I couldn't figure this out before, but now that I understand it, I will never force a woman's husband in the name of filial piety. She came for him, regardless of life and death, and at this moment, she may be in danger, isolated, looking forward to his appearance, hoping for his support and help. Even if Ah Yao can't find her in the end, he has to keep walking on the road to find her, so as not to live up to it. ”

Luo Jia was still silent.

There was a violent tremor on the ground, shaking the hat on her head and shaking slightly, shaking the veil undulating and fluttering.

Fortunately, with the previous experience, both of them reacted quickly to stabilize their figures.

The commander of the Praetorian Guard, who led his subordinates to try to break through the barrier, sweated his sideburns, and knelt down with anxiety on his face, "Your Majesty, the last general is incompetent. This enchantment...... It seems unbreakable! ”

Luo Jian raised his hand and motioned for the man to get up, and then commanded in a calm voice: "If you can't break it, it's just fine." If there is a mount that can still be used, find a way to send my seal to the national teacher. ”

The Commander hesitated, then bowed and retreated.

Baili Yu took a step closer to Luo Jia, "Ah Jia......"

Luo Jia subconsciously took a step back and interrupted him drastically: "Don't call me!" ”

She raised her head slightly and turned sideways to face Bailiyu, "I know what you want to say." Just now, through Qing Ling's words, you just wanted to hint at your own thoughts. After so many years, you may have regretted it, or you may have felt sorry for me. So in the past, in front of Emperor Chaoyan, you tried your best to protect the interests of Jiuqiu. Yao helped me do things, and you never interfered. Even now Daze has taken out money to fill the gap in Jiuqiu's taxation and promote peace from the side, which is indispensable for your approval. But what about that? From the day I leave your Dazehou Mansion, you will no longer be anything to me! ”

Bai Liyu looked at the woman in front of him, and only felt full of pain.

Yes, she is no longer the girl from Jiuqiu with a sweet smile and a delicate demeanor in her memory......

Sharp words, tight body, the unique majesty of a king.

It was himself who pushed her to a lonely and helpless truth, and made her what she is today step by step.

This reunion was admittedly not premeditated. But how could such a reunion not be described and imagined repeatedly in countless sleepless nights?

Thinking about it, was it because Qing Ling's words touched a certain emotion hidden deep in his heart, which made him disobey the emperor's orders and personally send her to the south? Or is he actually always thinking about everything about Jiuqiu, lest the war spread, lest he ruin the peace between the two countries and hurt the interests of that person, so he couldn't help but follow?

Even he himself couldn't tell.

Perhaps, it was just that there was some force in the dark that made him appear again in front of his wife he hadn't seen for a long time in such a situation.

Bai Liyu lowered his head, his voice was still gentle, "Okay, I understand." ”

After that, he was silent.

The magic power of the Nine Turns Devouring God Killing rippled out again and again.

Three, four, five......

The two remained silent with each other.

Bai Liyu walked to the edge of the enchantment, tried to find the flaw in various methods, and even resisted with full strength, until his face turned pale, and he couldn't shake it in the slightest.

In fact, he also knew very well that the monster that had killed the son of the Emperor of Heaven could not be easily cracked?

He turned around tiredly, but saw Luo Jia standing quietly looking at him, and when he saw him turn around, he quickly turned his head sideways.

The entire North Park had begun to collapse and tilt, and the barrier above the head was constantly closing and pressing, as if to squeeze everything that was shrouded deep underground.

The guards came over several times to ask Luo Jia to ride on the mount, but she waved her hand back.

The sixth shock struck.

This time, it was significantly more powerful than the previous ones. All of them lost their balance and fell to their knees on the sloping ground.

Bai Liyu got up and helped Luo Li, and was pushed away by her.

Or because he understood that the end was approaching, Luo Jia's voice was no longer as calm as before, and he said to Bai Liyu with anger: "What are you staying here for?" No matter who set up this demon fight, the only person to deal with is me. What does it have to do with you? Go back where you came from! ”

Bai Liyu didn't answer, silently unsealed a long sword, vigorously penetrated the ground, and held on.

The bluestone floor in the garden below him had already been scattered into the hall, and even the dirt floor was tilted so badly that the outer side slowly rose up.

The guards who had not yet given up hope before, formed formations, joined forces, and tried their best to break through the enchantment, but they also gave up at this moment, and scattered and sat not far away, building a barrier with their bodies, blocking the middle of Luo Ji and the power of the demon fight.

Seventh turn.

A janissary close to the temple was swept in, and a panicked shout rang out in mid-air.

On the line between life and death, after all, instinct prevails.

Luo Xuan's body leaned slightly, and his hat was raised, revealing a pale and aging face.

Jiuqiu Luo's love spell left countless miserable wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and lips, and also dyed the hair on the top of her sideburns white.

Only those eyes are still as clear and charming as before.

She looked straight at Bailiyu, "Why don't you go?" The passage you used when you came here might still be able to open up with your water spirituality, so why don't you try it? ”

Bai Liyu stared at Luo Jia, as if he was not surprised by the drastic change in her appearance.

He just looked at her quietly, the smile on the corner of his mouth was handsome and gentle, "I have already abandoned you once." Once, it's already too much. ”

Luo Jia's gaze was momentary, staring straight at him, as if he wanted to use this to show that he didn't care.

However, tears, unconsciously, have flowed.

"You are not abandoning me. You've just chosen the latter between me and your family. ”

Luo Jia bit his lip, "I didn't understand before, I complained about you, I hated you, but then I ......" paused, "Later, I took over Ah Ling's position and became the monarch of Jiuqiu, and my every move is related to the lives of all the people, how can I not understand...... What did you have to do that day? ”

Bai Liyu's eyes were full of emotion, and he called out "Ah Xuan" and slowly stretched out his hand to her.

This time, Luo Jia didn't dodge, and let Bai Liyu hold the sword in one hand and hug himself with the other.

She hung her head slightly, her forehead lightly touched his collar, and said in a low voice, "So many years...... I have no grudge or hatred for you, in fact...... But I ......."

He paused and didn't continue.

Bai Liyu took her unfinished words indifferently, "But you can't love me anymore." ”

Luo Jian looked up.

Bailiyu's gaze fell elsewhere.

He smiled effortlessly and said, "I understand, there are some mistakes, once they are cast, they are irreparable. The heart that has been wounded cannot be healed to leave no trace. You can stop complaining about me, I have no regrets in this life. ”

He was silent for a moment, lowered his head, and looked at Luo Jia, "But I still love you, I've always loved you, and I've only loved you all my life." ”

It's not that I haven't tried to forget, persuading myself to accept that everything is just a mistake, but in the end, there is no way at all.

"At that time, I was too proud and didn't know how to back down, and I just blindly thought that it was not easy for you to accommodate me, but I forgot to take into account your difficulties and your difficulties. I blame fate for the ending of you and me, complaining about the imprisonment of identity, the madness of Luo Heng, the ruthlessness of Emperor Hao, and even the responsibility given to me by the family. But in fact, in the final analysis, I am just cowardly, so cowardly that I only dare to compromise and protect myself, but I never dare to think, let alone try, to find the best of both worlds and truly solve the contradiction. ”

After a pause, "Over the years, I have watched Ah Yao and Qingling get along from the sidelines, and I have seen them little by little bring Chaoyan and Jiuqiu closer, resolve disputes, and even rebuild the political situation in the entire Eastern Continent, which not only makes me surprised, but also makes me feel ashamed of myself. These two children, from the very beginning, were bound together by politics, and even I never believed that one day they would be able to deliver their sincerity to each other, and now they are so united, never abandoned, and life and death together. Behind them are countless conflicts of interest and family blood feuds, which are a hundred times more complicated and difficult than we were back then? Speaking of which, I have boasted of being shrewd all my life, but I am really inferior to my son, and even less than Ah Luo's daughter. ”

Bai Liyu tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a slightly self-deprecating smile, "So now, God wants to punish me, punish me to death, and I can only love it." ”

Luo Jia's tears kept flowing, and he closed his lips several times, but he was still speechless.

If she wants to say that she has done nothing, why not?

only thought about the danger of Jiuqiu and the survival of Luo's, and blindly blamed her husband's helplessness and choice on betrayal.

Over the years, a heart has indeed grown a hard and cold shell, but how have those hidden remorse and self-blame really disappeared?

After a while, she raised her head and asked him tremblingly, "So...... Do you regret it? I regret that I met in the first place......"

"How so?"

Bai Liyu's arms tightened slightly, and he looked at her with a smile, "In the days when we were together in the past, a pair of children who were envied by the world, according to the algorithm of our businessmen, even if in the end, what I wanted was still not obtained, but after collecting the interest for many years, I have earned it." ”

When Luo Jian heard this, he seemed to want to laugh too, but the tears became more and more turbulent, and the curvature of his lips was even more ugly and miserable than crying.

The eighth earthquake struck.

The heavens and the earth shook, and the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked.

The guards surrounding Luo Jia were all swept into the huge whirlpool of streamers and dark gravel, and the sky was dark and chaotic all around.

Bai Liyu held the hilt of the sword tightly, stabilized the figures of the two, and exerted the last divine power to fight against the demon, but he still couldn't stop being pulled into the darkness a little bit.

The wind ruffled the long hair that had been blown in front of his forehead, and the flickering streamer reflected on his well-defined features, just like the boy he had met many years ago.

Luo Jian looked up at him, and suddenly, he felt more peaceful and calm than ever.

In my life, I have seen too many bloody storms, wars and killings, joys and sorrows, love and responsibility, family and country power, everything, in the end, what is the point?

If you could choose again, would you still be willing to be in the same place on that day?

Wandering thoughts entwined with old memories, and unconsciously spoke—

"Do you remember what I said to you that night at Windy City's New Year's celebrations, when I stood on the bow of a ship full of bluebells?"

"Of course I do."

That night, she wore braids, huddled with a few Daze boat girls, leaned over to water the water, and her fair skin showed at a glance that she was not a local.

Her lotus lamp knocked over his wishing lamp.

Everyone else recognized him as the son of the Baili family, and urged her to apologize in a low voice, but she didn't know him, so she got up and pulled her braids and said generously: "Isn't it just a wish?" Whatever you ask for, I'll pay you! ”

He looked at her quietly in the light of the lights, and his shallow smile made her blush inexplicably......

A long, long time later, when the children had already given birth to two, she accidentally learned that his wishing lamp, which was knocked over that night, was originally a marriage lamp that was forced into it by a friend.

A good fate for a lifetime
