Chapter 398: Ten Miles to Deliver
And the person Xun Yu was staring at was also the person Liu He was looking at at at this time.
This moment of silence made the others aware of something, and they followed the gaze of the two, but they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
In the shocked eyes of everyone, Qin Shuang slowly stepped forward.
"Ministers welcome Princess Wannian back to the palace!"
One is Wang Zuozhicai, who has never been out of Xuchang City, but can always win thousands of miles away, and the other is a battlefield warrior who has always followed Cao Cao every step of the way, but today he appeared in this small silent city at the same time, in full view of everyone, the two knelt on the ground and performed the great gift that only between monarchs and ministers.
"Welcome Princess Wannian back to the palace!"
The 300,000 troops behind the two fell to their knees at the same time.
"You talk nonsense!" Chen Mo suddenly rushed out, "My eldest brother Qin is a man, how can he be the princess of ten thousand years that you are talking about!" β
Xun Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, raised her head slightly, and said softly: "The long sword in her hand, inscribed as Bafu, is the sword of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty back then, and this sword can only be held by the royal family, even the ordinary Liu clan cannot touch it." β
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then ran to Qin Shuang's side, and after looking down at the hilt of the sword carefully, he sat down on the ground and couldn't say a word for a long time.
The words "Eight Suits" engraved on the hilt of the sword are exceptionally clear.
"Stand down, I have a few words to say to them." For the first time, Qin Shuang said to Xun Yu and Xu Chu in a woman's voice in front of these brothers in the Tianji Camp.
"Yes." Xun Yu and Xu Chu stood up, retreated dozens of steps away, and waited respectfully in place.
Qin Shuang turned around, looked at Chen Mo who was sitting on the ground with slightly apologetic eyes, and said softly: "Little Chen Mo, I am what they call the princess of ten thousand years." β
Chen Mo raised his head, suddenly his eyes turned red, he bit his lip and said, "I don't care if you are a princess or not, I just want to know whether you are Brother Qin Shuang or Sister Qin Shuang!" β
Qin Shuang was silent for a long time, and said softly: "I have been hiding it from you for so long...... Sorry ......"
Chen Mo's eyes were glazed, and he lowered his head as if talking to himself: "Go to Xuchang with them, and you won't come back......
"So, she can't go!" Liu He, who had never said a word, suddenly had hot eyes.
Qin Shuang glanced at the emotional Liu He, and then turned to the others and said, "I want to talk to him alone, okay?" β
The others nodded silently, and Wang Tie and Li Qin picked up Chen Mo on the ground and retreated to the city gate.
"You don't have to say anything!" Without waiting for Qin Shuang to speak, Liu He waved his hand, "300,000 troops, don't try to take you away from me!" β
Qin Shuang walked up to Liu He, and said in a trembling voice: "Why don't you understand, what can take me away is not the 300,000 army in front of me, but my younger brother who is far away in the Xuchang Palace!" β
When Liu He heard this, his face softened, but he had a more desolate look.
He and Liu He would not accept any other reason, but only for this reason, Liu He could no longer stubbornly leave Qin Shuang behind.
"You said that you would join the army for your brother, but I only thought that you served in the military for your brother, but you never thought about ......it," Liu He said, but he couldn't say any more.
Qin Shuang said softly: "At that time, I only thought that Liu Bei could help the Han family and help my brother regain power, but now it seems that I am still too naΓ―ve, as long as Cao Cao is here, my brother will not be able to escape from that Xuchang City, and even if I can escape, I will eventually return there." β
"Actually, I know it's impossible, but there is one thing, I still want to ask you again." Liu He said softly.
Qin Shuang nodded, "You ask." β
"Can you not go?"
Looking at Liu He's childlike reluctant expression, Qin Shuang's eyes instantly turned red.
But she still adjusted her emotions and said softly: "If I don't go back, they will definitely attack my brother, and if you take your brothers to resist, you will never be the opponent of the 300,000 army, this matter itself is caused by me, do you still want to make me feel guilty for this for the rest of my life?" β
Liu He nodded lightly and said in a very small voice, "Then let me give you a ride at the end, okay?" β
Qin Shuang was silent for a while, then turned around and walked towards Xun Yu and Xu Chu.
"You take someone to wait for me ten miles away." Qin Shuang ordered in a non-negotiable tone.
"This ......" Xu Chu seemed to be very embarrassed, and peeked at Xun Yu, but saw that Xun Yu also had the same expression on his face.
"Don't worry, I will definitely go back with you, don't forget, my brother is still in the hands of your master." After Qin Shuang threw down this sentence fiercely, he turned around and returned to Liu He's side.
The ten-mile road is very long, but it is so short to walk.
The first five miles of the road were completed by the people of the Tianji Camp accompanied Qin Shuang, and when they reached the last five miles, the others stopped very tacitly and watched the two leave.
There seemed to be a thousand words in my heart, but in this last time alone, the two of them had nothing to say all the way.
Finally came to the end of this road, and the carriage prepared by Xun Yu was already waiting not far away.
"Take care." In the end, it was he who spoke first.
"Take care, too." She no longer has to be afraid that the people around her will know that she is a daughter, and she doesn't have to be afraid of red eyes in front of everyone.
He suddenly looked at her with a bright smile, "Promise me one thing, don't look back." β
She had tears in her eyes, but she also smiled and nodded, "Then you also promise me one thing, don't cry." β
He smiled and nodded, and watched her get into the carriage and head in the opposite direction to Chengdu.
She sat in the most noble carriage, but her heart was empty, and she wanted to lift the curtain and look back, but she was afraid that he would see that she had broken the agreement.
He never seemed to have broken his word to himself, she thought about the past, and a smile rose on the corner of her mouth, but for some reason, tears also slipped down at the same time at this moment.
The carriage moved slowly, but she felt that the farther away she was from him, the more painful her heart became.
Her smile faded away, but the tears could no longer be stopped, and all she could think about was looking back at him again, even if it was just a glance.
She could no longer suppress the desire in her heart, and finally made up her mind, but before that, she must wipe the tears from her face, she knew that he must be watching her, she thought that this last glance must leave him with the most beautiful self.
She tried to make the sweetest smile possible, lifted the curtain and looked back, but the next moment, tears broke down again.
He wasn't looking at himself, the man who had never had a trace of fear for himself even a 300,000-strong army was squatting on the ground tremblingly, biting the back of his hand fiercely, just afraid that he would hear his cry.
