She looked a little stunned and puzzled, "What? ”

He reached out and slowly placed the dagger in his arms into her hand, "Isn't this what you've always wanted?" Kill me immediately, and then go back to Beiliang. ”

Her hand gripped the cold knife tightly, the sharp edge of which went straight to his neck.

He said slowly, "Lian Zhi'er, after returning to Beiliang, you have to be the innocent and immaculate woman riding on the horse, so that I have no regrets in this life." ”

After saying that, he had slowly closed his eyes, just waiting for her to come down with a knife, and he would be able to get rid of a hundred and be freed from endless suffering.

Lian Zhi'er suddenly felt a burst of soreness in her throat, obviously she hated him very much, but her fingertips were still trembling, and the dagger that was obviously very light was unstable.

The frosty moonlight shone on the grass of Beiliang, and she forced herself to think about the scene she saw here that day, her brother was nailed to the city gate, and the blood of the Beiliang people was everywhere.

The dagger in her hand finally stabbed down, and in an instant it cut his neck, and the blood fell down his neck and spread to his brocade robe.

He had a faint smile on his face, so gentle, as if when he first met, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World who had not been in the courtyard for a lifetime.

Two people who have everything are only entangled together, but in the end, they are only left alone, and they end up desolate.

She gave up at the last moment, and she couldn't bear to stab any more.

He opened his eyes and looked at her, only to see that her fine white face was full of tears, and her watery eyes were full of pain.

The corners of his lips turned up. He seemed to want to laugh, but he pulled the wound on his neck, and the blood flowed even more.

"You've always been so kind-hearted, even if you're as heinous as me." He looked at her, then slowly took the dagger from her hand.

The dagger, stained with his scarlet blood, was quickly aimed at his throat again.

"I will end myself, end my sinful voice, and let my blood pay tribute to those Beiliang people who died in battle."

After saying that, he had closed his eyes, and the horizontal knife was about to kill himself.

Lian Zhi'er grabbed his arm in an instant. Because of his great strength, she used two hands to pull it tightly, and her forehead also leaned on his arm, and she reluctantly pulled it back.

Her voice choked, "Ruan Lu, I want you to live, I want you to live a long life of 100 years, I want you to die after all the suffering, I don't let you die with such peace of mind." ”

He slowly put away the dagger, and said slowly after a long time, "Okay, if this is what you want, I will fulfill you." ”

Lian Zhi'er just turned around and walked slowly, her thin back became more and more petite in the autumn breeze, and her shadow was stretched very long.

As he walked forward, she could feel a burning gaze on her back, and she knew he was watching her.

She walked step by step, and at this moment, she suddenly saw a familiar figure, the bow and arrow in the man's hand tightly pulled. Soon it's going to out.

That person was her cousin Lian Yan, but she saw that she was already thin and weak, and her eyes were full of hatred and looked behind Lian Zhi'er.

Soon, I heard the sound of "Zheng", and the cold arrow had already slashed through her body and went straight behind her.

She turned her head in astonishment, only to see that the cold arrow had pierced Ruan Lu's chest, and blood splattered out, splashing onto his pale face, while he was still looking at her, with endless affection in his eyes.

He moved his lips, he couldn't hear the slightest sound, but he could read his lips, and he said, "Take care." ”

At this time, the guards in the distance had already discovered that he was injured, so they hurriedly rushed over, and couldn't help shouting, "The prince is out of breath, catch the assassin quickly." ”

Lian Yan glanced at Lian Zhi'er, but there was hatred in her eyes, and then she took the bow and pulled the arrow again, only at Lian Zhi'er's neck.

Lian Zhi'er didn't run, didn't call for help, didn't even beg for mercy, just looked at her, and looked at her as if she were dead.

However, Lian Yan still didn't shoot the arrow in the end, and seeing that the people from the Central Plains had already chased after her, she only hurriedly rode away on horseback, and soon disappeared into the night of Beiliang.

Lian Zhi'er turned around and looked at Ruan Lu lying in a pool of blood, so quiet, as if he was asleep.

Finally, the soldiers of the Central Plains slowly closed the door in front of her, and it was not until the last crack disappeared that she withdrew her eyes at a loss.

She walked aimlessly on the grass in the north cool, the surroundings were so quiet, she couldn't hear anything, and even the cries of insects and ants seemed to fade.

She walked and walked, but she didn't know where she was going, and now that the royal court was gone, she didn't know where she was going, and she didn't even have a home.

After days of running around, and the fright at the city gate, she walked until she reached the eastern horizon, and there was a faint glimmer of light, and she fell to sleep on the cold grass.

She had a long, long dream, dreaming that she was still the simple county lord of Beiliang, and that day his father, King Beiliang, was wearing a suit of armor, and the beast head with the sound of armor was hideous.

She grabbed her father's reins and only said, "Daddy, you are not allowed to go, the Central Plains is very dangerous, and there are wild beasts everywhere." ”

King Beiliang smiled and put his arm around her shoulder, and laughed loudly, "Father went to Beiliang to quell the rebellion, which beast dares to hurt me?" ”

But she refused to let go, and she refused to die.

But her father still left without hesitation, she desperately wanted to catch up, but it got farther and farther, farther and farther, and even her back disappeared without a trace.

Wait until she wakes up. But in a tent, she looked up and saw a half-grown child playing by her bed, with a few shiny braids in her black hair.

Lian Zhi'er couldn't help but feel tightened, "Akong." ”

When the child heard the movement, he hurriedly raised his head, but when he saw Lian Zhi'er, who had already woken up, he hurriedly ran away, but he went out to look for someone.

Not her Akong, not her son.

At this moment, I saw a woman over half a hundred years old hurrying in, still holding a black medicine in her hand, steaming hot.

"Grandma, where is this?" Her voice was hoarse and dry, like a sharp knife in her throat, and every word was so hard to utter.

"This is Bei Liang, are you stupid? When my husband went hunting, he saw you lying on the grass and had been asleep, so he brought you back, and you fell asleep for three days and three nights, and now you are awake. ”

Only then did she feel that the bones in her body seemed to be falling apart, and the pain was unbearable, so she barely supported her body and slowly sat up.

She reluctantly drank the bowl of decoction, and then said slowly, "Mother-in-law, has anything happened these days, either the Central Plains or the Northern Liang." ”

The mother-in-law seemed to think about it, and then said. "I heard that the regent of the Central Plains was killed for plotting to kill the emperor, everyone applauded, and I don't know how many people died in his hands, and he is a wolf with ambition, I am afraid that it will be left for 10,000 years."

Lian Zhi'er was only faint, didn't say anything, and looked preoccupied.

The old woman only thought that she was seriously ill, so she hurriedly said, "Where is your home?" I asked my son to send a message to your family, and if you don't go back for a few days, I'm afraid they'll be worried. ”

She took a deep breath, "I don't have a home anymore. ”

The old woman only sighed helplessly, and only said, "I'm afraid that it was also the war that happened half a year ago, poor boy." ”

Lian Zhi'er didn't say anything, but she was still silent.

And at this moment, I saw the old woman put a letter and a pair of cloth tigers in front of her, and said, "I saw that your clothes were dirty, so I changed them and washed them, but I didn't know your identity, so I opened this letter. ”

Lian Zhi'er only picked up the letter, which was originally a letter of resignation given to her by Ruan Lu, and she didn't care.

However, when she opened it casually, she saw that there were two pieces of paper inside.

She only opened one of them, but it was Ruan Lu's letter of resignation, it was his handwriting, but his pen was always sharp. And in this letter of resignation, it seems stiff, as if every stroke is very difficult. Scholarly

When she frowned and slowly opened the second envelope, she couldn't see a few numbers, it was an unfamiliar address, but it was a tribe in Beiliang.

She knew that this tribe was an inconspicuous tribe that had never quarreled with the world, and the catastrophe half a year ago did not implicate them.

What did Ruan Lu give her these? She was a little puzzled.

When she had made herself well, she said goodbye to the woman, who, seeing her like this, and knowing that she had no money on her, gave her a great deal of food to eat, so that she would come back without a place to stay.

The woman's daughter-in-law was an extremely virtuous woman, and she just kept saying, "This sister looks like our Lianzhi'er county lord of Beiliang." ”

Before Lian Zhi'er could deny it, the woman couldn't help but glance at her and sighed, "Our county lord is already dead. What nonsense are you talking about, this girl is good-looking, and she will definitely be a blessed person in the future, and she will be with her lover for a lifetime. ”

After hearing this, Lian Zhi'er became more and more difficult.

Lian Zhi'er had no horses, and walked for two days to reach the address written on the letter.

Far away, she saw that her family was happy, and endless singing came out of the tent, which was the Beiliang in her heart.

What if she found here, she just walked along the curtains one by one in a daze.

By this time it was already dark, and the bonfires lit up most of the night sky, and even the stars in the sky were obscured by the bright light of the fire.

At this moment, I saw a child lying on the ground covering the grasshopper on the grass, and then kept laughing, and the cotton robe on his body was full of mud.

She walked over slowly, only picked up the child, patted the dirt on his body hard, and only sighed, "You make such a fuss, be careful to go back to your mother......"

She froze suddenly when she said this, but she saw Liankong's familiar and unfamiliar little face.

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, the child has grown up very quickly, even his eyebrows and eyes are a little strange, and his body is much stronger, like a calf.

It turned out that her Akong was here, and it turned out that he had been in Beiliang.

She hugged Ah Kong in her arms, and her voice was hoarse, "Ah Kong, do you know that Ah Niang has been looking for you, and when you grow up, Ah Niang will almost not recognize you." ”

Half a year. How can a child remember his mother's appearance and can't help but break free from her arms, "Are you A-Niang?" ”

She burst into tears, "Yes." ”

And at this moment, I saw Ah Kong slowly shake his head, "No, you are like those ugly women, in order to please my father, you said that it was my aunt." ”

After saying that, he turned to run.

Lian Zhi'er only covered her mouth, her voice choked. "Akong."

Seeing that she was still calling him, the child slowly turned his head, and then slowly walked in front of Lian Zhi'er, looking straight at her with a pair of dark eyes, and said slowly, "I seem to remember you, you are my aunt." ”

Lian Zhi'er couldn't bear it anymore, and hugged her tightly in her arms, tears covering her pale cheeks.

It was a long time before Akong came out of her arms. Then he used his little hand to nest her messy sideburns behind her ears, and said in a green voice, "A-Niang, don't cry." ”

Lian Zhi'er slowly put away her tears.

And at this moment, Ah Kong felt that Lian Zhi'er's chest was a little bulging, so he curiously pulled it out, but it was a pair of cute tigers, with long beards and round eyes wide open.

His face was full of joy, after all, the people in Beiliang were not good at embroidery, so they couldn't make these things at all.

"Can this tiger give it to Akong?" He asked timidly, his dark eyes full of anticipation, which made people unbearable to refuse.

Lian Zhi'er couldn't help but think of that person, Akong's eyes were very similar to him, especially when looking at people.

"It's for Akong, do you like it?" She said with a smile, her eyes boiling hot.

"Ah Niang bought it specifically for Ah Kong, right?" He hugged him tightly in his arms, and he couldn't put it down.

"It's your father...... she looked at Akong's clear eyes, but she just said slowly, "It's a person who likes Akong very much, you have to keep it alive and don't lose it." ”

Ah Kong nodded blankly, and then said with a smile, "I heard that a bad guy in the Central Plains died, and everyone set up a bonfire to celebrate, those women are afraid that they will be flattering in front of Daddy again, you go and stop their foxes." ”

Lian Zhi'er couldn't help but feel very funny when he heard such a young child say such a thing, but he knew very well who the bad guy in his mouth was.

She half-squatted down, grabbed Akong's shoulders, and then said slowly, "Akong, you remember, he is a hero, a big hero who has been wronged, and you are not allowed to talk about him like this in the future." ”

Ah Kong saw that Ah Niang was angry, so he had to nod.

This was the last trace of mercy she gave to Ruan Lu, he must not want his son to be so disgusted with himself.

Soon Akong took her hand and came to the bonfire, but saw countless women dressed up around the bonfire dancing happily, and the man in the middle was surrounded by her. The flattery of these women was ignored at all, and his face was full of indifference, as if he was outside the world.

Lian Zhi'er couldn't help laughing, Shi Dye will always be like this, it will only take away people's minds, but he can withdraw from the world.

And at this moment, he saw a very beautiful woman standing in front of him, dancing to the sound of cheerful drums, and holding a wild goose with bound feet in her hand.

In Beiliang, if you propose marriage, you have to use wild geese.

Ah Kong stomped his feet in a hurry, dragging Lian Zhi'er deadly, "Auntie, you go and teach them a lesson, they come to bother Daddy every day." ”

Lian Zhi'er couldn't help but smile, but in a blink of an eye, she saw that the woman next to her was also carrying a wild goose in her hand, so she dragged it over casually and squeezed into the crowd without saying anything.

"Hey, that's my wild goose." The woman cried out anxiously.

Soon she was standing in front of Ruan Lu. With a smile in her voice, Ruyuehua's eyes fell on Shi Ran's face, and then slowly handed the wild goose up.

The woman who was dancing at the right time was full of chagrin on her face, and she only said angrily, "Where did you come from, I gave it today, why do you want to spoil my good deeds?" If you want to send it, just queue up. ”

Shi Ran's gaze fell on Lian Zhi'er's face, with a little surprise, and then endless joy, his pale eyes bloomed with endless brilliance.

However, he slowly took the wild goose in Lian Zhi'er's hand.

The people around suddenly took a breath of cool air, and some of them shouted in surprise, "Shi Gongzi has accepted the wild goose, didn't he say that he already has a family?" ”

Someone else shouted, "Where did this woman come from?" ”

Shi Ran looked at the hand that stretched out his hand to hold Lian Zhi'er in his arms, his chest was so cold, but Lian Zhi'er was so hot, he looked up and said to everyone, "This is my wife." ”

At this time, Ah Kong also ran over happily, holding Lian Zhi'er's thigh, and said angrily to everyone, "This is my mother, you bad women don't have to be delusional, my father is my mother's." ”

The women dressed up scattered with distressed faces, far away, only to sing and dance, and a man from Beiliang came over with a wild goose, wanting to give it to his sweetheart.

At this moment, he saw Lian Zhi'er slowly coming out of his arms, "Why are you here?" ”

"It was Ruan Lu who asked me to come, and he said let me wait for you here." Shi Ran's voice was a little dim, presumably he already knew about Ruan Lu's death, "Just when I was about to take you away in Jingzhong, he found me that day and said that one day he would return you to me. ”

Lian Zhi'er tugged at the corners of her lips, as if she wanted to laugh, but she couldn't even do it reluctantly, "He knew at that time that I was going to stay and kill him, a person like him counted everyone into it, but he never left a way out for himself." ”

Shi Ran looked at the roaring bonfire and roasted their bodies hot, "Now that we have experienced so much wind and rain, we are finally together, I will stay by your side for the rest of my life, stay in Beiliang, we will grow old together, and we don't ask about the world." ”

Lian Zhi'er suddenly laughed, "Then what if you want to be in the Central Plains?" ”

"No, without you in the Central Plains, I wouldn't think about it."
