The woman turned around and looked at the old man in surprise, "You still have a daughter?" ”

The old man looked at the woman kindly, and said softly: "Yes, if my daughter is still alive, she should be the age of the little master." ”

The woman turned back, sat down again, and asked the old man to comb her hair for herself, and said softly, "If you don't want to talk about the rest of the matter, don't talk about it." ”

The old man smiled and shook his head, "These things, sooner or later, you have to let the little master know, since you mentioned it today, you still have to say it happily." ”

The woman whispered "oh", and then said no more, and quietly listened to the old man continue.

"At that time, the old slave was still half a Jianghu person, once I went out to travel for some days in order to avoid the disputes in the rivers and lakes, and when I came back, I learned that all the old and young in the family had been poisoned by the enemy. I went to the enemy's door at the time, and in the end, I let the brute escape. With the tragic death of my relatives and the invincibility of revenge, I have been depressed ever since, living with alcohol every day. It was raining heavily that day, and I got drunk and walked alone down the street, slipping and falling into a mud puddle. A man who hadn't taken a shower for months, smelling of alcohol, was still lying in a mud pit, and you can imagine how unbearable it was. Then a carriage stopped beside me, and I lay down in the mud and squinted, and a man stepped out of the carriage, but the rain was so heavy that I could not see her clearly, until she came to my side, bent down, took a handkerchief from her bosom, and handed it to me. I will never forget it, she said to me at the time, people live in the world, there will always be unsatisfactory things, gritted their teeth, and survived. ”

"The person you're talking about is my mother?" The woman asked softly.

The old man nodded thoughtfully, "From that day on, the old slave knew that he had found hope for life again. In order to repay your mother's kindness, the old slave entered the palace by himself and came to Changtai Palace, which is eighteen years in a blink of an eye. ”

The woman hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "If you like my mother, why do you ......?"

The old man took a few steps back and fell to his knees, "Don't misunderstand, princess, the old slave has always worshiped the imperial concubine like a god, and never dared to blaspheme in the slightest. ”

The woman stood up, walked to the old man's side, helped the old man up, and said softly: "I misunderstood you, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, no one would have believed that there is a person in this world like you who repays the grace of a drop of water." ”

The old man's face eased slightly, and he said softly: "The princess should sit down and let the old slave dress up for you." ”

The woman sat down in front of the bronze mirror again, and asked the old man to comb her long hair carefully, and after a while, the old man said softly: "In the princess's heart, I still can't let go of that person." Don't blame the old slave for being talkative, it's just that the old slave looks at you like this, and his heart is really uncomfortable. ”

The woman was silent for a long time, until the old man combed her hair, then she stood up, walked to the door, looked at a towering tree in the courtyard and said: "Before I left the palace, I never thought that in this life and this life, someone could enter my heart like him, I always thought that I was like a leaf on the tree, I would never be able to leave that tree, even if I fell from the branches, I would eventually fall back to my roots, and I would never be able to escape for the rest of my life." But when he came, he was like a gust of wind, blowing in front of me, as if telling me that he could carry me and fly higher and farther, to where he wanted to go. ”

The woman suddenly lowered her head and said gloomily: "But I forgot, when the wind rises, there is a time when the wind stops, and one day, he will disappear in front of me out of thin air like the wind, leaving no trace, even as if he never came." And I'm still the leaves that can only fall on the ground, those extravagant hopes about the wind, about him, are just my momentary obsession. ”

The old man listened quietly to the woman's statement, but smiled faintly, "Princess, do you remember what the old slave said to you when he first taught you to practice swords?" ”

The woman raised her head and looked at the old man with a kind face, and gradually, as if she remembered something, she also smiled sweetly, "You said that when I practice martial arts, no one in the entire palace will be able to stop our Princess Wannian." ”

"Yes, no one can stop our Wannian Princess!" The old man with a relieved face suddenly looked like a torch, "Even the palace wall of this Xuchang Palace can't stop it!" ”

The woman's eyes widened and she looked at the old man in disbelief, only to see the old man smiling and closing his eyes and pricking up his ears, as if listening to something.

Outside Changtai Palace, there was a commotion, and the woman couldn't help but look in the direction where the voice came from.

"When the wind goes, it will return." The old man smiled serenely, took the woman's hand, and strode towards the gate of Changtai Palace.

"...... are you" The woman was startled by the sudden actions of the old man who had been cautious for eighteen years, and she was already a little flustered.

But the old man stretched out a finger, put it in front of his mouth, and made a gesture to close his voice, "Listen, princess, the wind is coming!" ”

The closer she got to the gate of Changtai Palace, the clearer the noise became, and the woman finally heard that it was the sound of weapons colliding, the neighing of war horses, and the roar of soldiers.

The woman's mind suddenly went blank, and she let the great eunuch of Huangmenlang, who was dressed in a big red official robe, take her hand and walk forward.

Until the figure she couldn't think about or dare to think about it came into view again, until the sound that often appeared in dreams lingered in her ears again.

beauty beaded blind,

Sitting deep on the eyebrows of the moth,

But when I saw the tears wet,

I don't know who I hate.

He wiped the blood from his face and looked at her with a wicked smile, she wanted to give him a sweet smile in return, but her eyes involuntarily reddened.

Behind him, 100,000 forbidden troops of the Imperial City were killed with halberds.

He turned his head, squinted at the forbidden troops of the Imperial City who had already killed the red-eyed, and said with an arrogant face: "In front of the princess of ten thousand years, who dares to make a mistake!" ”

Xu Chu, the head of the 100,000 forbidden army and the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, opened his eyes and glared angrily at this arrogant man who trespassed into the forbidden palace, "The surname Liu, you dare to come to Xuchang to spread the wild, this account must be settled clearly today!" ”

"Settle accounts with me? You deserve it too! Liu He's expression was sharp, "Go and call your master, I have an account and want to settle it with him!" ”

Xu Chu was about to have a seizure, but he heard Cao Cao's voice behind him, "Mr. Tianji is here, what kind of account do you want to settle with Cao?" ”

Seeing Cao Cao appear, Xu Chu hurriedly bowed down to salute, but his eyes were still staring at Liu He, as if he was about to breathe fire.

Liu He ignored the angry Xu Chu, but said to Cao Cao with a relaxed face: "Have you forgotten that when you were in Huarong Dao, you personally promised me that one day when I fall into your hands, you can't hurt my life." Do you recognize this account? ”
