The days of Fuyunguan are five days after a while. In the past five days, Zhaoyun has been in a state of half-madness and half-consciousness, except for Zongzheng's worry-free voice, she doesn't recognize anyone. When he wasn't there, she wouldn't eat, and it was useless for anyone to persuade her. She curled herself up in a small shell, and all she looked forward to every day was that it was time to eat, waiting for the crisp voice to light up her dark world.

It turns out that a dark world can also be full of hope and sunshine! She began to look forward to such days being longer, longer, even if she was blind all the time, as long as she was accompanied by her worry-free brother, she seemed to see the brilliance of the world.

By mid-March, the snow had melted in the valley, but the climate had not yet warmed up.

Outside the Breeze Pass, the land is empty and the weeds are dry. The early spring evening sun shines on it, and it looks slightly pale against the bleak and desolate scene, without a trace of warmth.

Standing alone on the city wall, looking at Zixiang Pass from afar, his eyes were empty, but his eyes were absolutely firm.

The cold wind swept across the towering walls, lifting her clothes and flying like snow and silver in the air. She has been here for five years. She once asked herself, why did she come into this world? She thought that she must have come here to meet a man named Zongzheng Wuwu, to rejoice for him, to shed tears for him, to be moved by him, and to be sad because of him.

After two years of love-hate entanglement, after several twists and turns, life and death share honor and disgrace, but why did the two people who obviously love each other try their best, but until now, they still can't be happy?

"Master."

She was so engrossed in her mind that she didn't know when there was another person behind her. You don't have to look back, you can hear the sound and know that it's Xiao Xu. She glanced slightly, gathered her thoughts, and said lightly, "When did you arrive?" ”

Xiao Xu replied: "Half an hour ago. ”

She nodded and asked, "Are you all ready?" ”

Xiao Xu said: "Ready." ”

"Yes, that's good." She looked ahead again, not moving, her voice inaudible with no joy or anger.

Xiao Xu looked at her thin and thin back, with a cold and lonely expression, frowned slightly, and comforted: "Master, the matter of the county lord", "You don't have to blame yourself, it's not your fault." ”

Hearing this, she slowly turned her head to look at him, her eyes were not the transparent and intelligent in the past, but a kind of dazed helplessness from the bottom of her heart. Xiao Xiao had never seen her with such an expression, so he couldn't help but be stunned, only to hear her speak softly and ask, "Whose fault is that?" ”

Xiao was stunned, whose fault was it? Naturally, it's the beast's fault! But he knew that she wasn't asking about that. Frowning slightly, he turned his gaze away and said, "You are pregnant, so you shouldn't be too sad." Now that the matter has come to this, no matter how much you blame yourself, it will not help, it is better to ...... Give the county lord some more compensation. ”

"Compensation?" Man Yao was slightly stunned, his eyes were shining, and the heavy bitterness spread wantonly in his heart, "How to compensate?" You know what is the best compensation for Zhaoyun! Perhaps, the only way to get her out of the haze and regain her happiness is one immortal, "But I can't do it." "She can do everything, but she can't. Without worry-free, what else is there to be nostalgic for her in this world? She smiled sadly, then turned back to see the barren land outside the city walls, filled with sand and dust.

"Xiao Sha, I" "Isn't it selfish? I only thought that with Zhaoyun's feelings for worry-free, he would definitely do his best to do this well, but I never thought that Zhaoyun would really pay a heavier price than his life. I don't have the capacity to bear the consequences. ”

Her voice was empty and desolate, and the tail note was long, reverberating in Xiao Xu's heart. Xiao Xu opened his mouth and wanted to say, you don't have to bear the consequences for this. But I still didn't say it, because I knew that it was useless to say it.

Dusk has passed, the sky is gradually darkening, Xiao Xu stands quietly behind her, accompany her to watch the sunset, the gray in the sky is dim and deep, the world is finally dark, only her long in the night under the light of the light, still like snow.

"Master, it's getting dark, let's go back to the camp."

Stunned, is it already dark? She didn't even notice it. Nodding, turning around, the two of them walked down the wall together.

At the corner of the entrance to the barracks, when it was time to change shifts, a soldier had a full meal, burped, and strode over to take the spear in the hand of the soldier standing guard, "It's my turn, you go.!"

"Oh, good. Eh, by the way, I heard that the city is going to be attacked tomorrow? ”

"Yes, the emperor ordered that the person who bullied the county lord of Zhaoyun be captured alive."

"Alas, the county lord of Zhaoyun is really pitiful, he was arrested by those bastards just to bring us food. I heard that the emperor has been kind to her in the past few days, do you think she will become the second lady of our Southern Dynasty? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, the emperor's feelings for the imperial concubine are different from ordinary people, unless the imperial concubine nods."

"Then do you think the princess will nod?"

"This ...... It's hard to say. The imperial concubine is righteous and reasonable, and in terms of reasonableness, the imperial concubine should take the initiative to persuade the emperor to accept the county lord of Zhaoyun as a concubine. This time, the task of sending grain and grass to the county lord of Zhaoyun is still sent by the imperial concubine" "Ah, the imperial concubine! Before the man could finish speaking, he saw the man who turned the corner, and his heart was startled, and he hurried. He fell to his knees.

The other person was also panicked, and his legs were shaking.

The two said in unison: "The villain is talkative, please forgive the mother!" ”

Manyao didn't look at them, just expressionless, and left directly. Xiao Xu glanced at them coldly, and then followed. "The Lord doesn't care what people say."

smiled lightly, but he felt a little irritable in his heart, and his voice was slightly cold: "If you don't care, what can you change?" "You can control their words and deeds, and you can't change the minds of others. In the eyes of the world, it is common sense for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone an emperor. And she, how is the reason, and what is the reason? If she pretends to be generous and really lets Zhaoyun accept Wuwu, will Zhaoyun be happy? I'm afraid not!

"Niangniang, Niangniang, you are finally back! The emperor is sending people around looking for you, so go back quickly. A girl who was waiting for her saw her and hurried to meet her.

Manyao asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

The girl replied respectfully: "The emperor is waiting for you to eat, and the food is about to be cold." ”

Isn't he all eating with Zhaoyun at this time these days? How could he wait for her in the big tent today? She frowned and nodded slightly, "Got it." ”

Seeing this, Xiao Xu hurriedly retired. She went back to the big tent by herself, and as soon as she opened the curtain, she saw Zong Zheng Wuwu pacing back and forth, he looked a little irritable, and when he saw her come back, he frowned and greeted her, took her cold hand, and his face sank, "Where have you been?" I'll be back now. ”

"Go out and walk around." She replied lightly, was pulled to the table and sat down, she pulled out a slight smile and asked, "Why are you here at this hour?" ”

Zong Zheng froze for a moment, turned his head to look at her, frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Shouldn't I be here?" So where should I be? "She actually made it a habit for him to go to Zhaoyun!

Manyao turned his head in his unpleasant gaze and asked softly: !! Zhaoyun hasn't eaten yet, has he? ”

Zong Zheng didn't answer immediately, picked up a bowl of soup and handed it to her, and said lightly: "She will naturally eat when she is hungry." ”

He was stunned for a moment, not expecting him to answer like this, looked at him again, didn't take the bowl in his hand, frowned, and asked, "What if she doesn't eat it?" ”

Zongzheng Wuwu seemed to be in a bad mood and a little impatient, "If you don't eat, you'll be hungry." Someday will eat. ”

What is this called? It was Zhaoyun, a woman who could give her life for him, and he was so indifferent, as if he had nothing to do with him. She looked at him in a daze, and without thinking too much, she had already blurted out: "Why are you so ruthless? She's what she is because of us, how can you say that about her? ”

The sentence "ruthless" made Zongzheng's face change without worry, and his hand movements froze, "Bang! He suddenly put down the bowl heavily, and the soup in the bowl could not withstand the violent shock, and almost half of it spilled, splashing all over the table. He didn't look at it, he locked his eyebrows, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and turned his eyes to look at her eyes fixedly, which seemed to look into her heart. His hands clenched unconsciously, and the green tendons on his hands slowly appeared one by one, as if he was trying his best to hide something.

Manyao's heart tugged suddenly, she frowned in annoyance, what the hell was she talking about?!

Looking at the sadness and pain buried in his eyes, so deep and heavy, she only felt a suffocating pain in her heart, her lips open, trembling and unable to speak.

The two phases were silent, and after half a sound, Zongzheng did not answer without worry...... He just stared at her face and her eyes fixedly, and didn't say a word.

Man Yao was suddenly a little frightened that he was silent as if he didn't exist, and she reached out to shake his hand, only to feel that his hand was cold and stiff. Her heart trembled, and those troubled restlessness receded, and she clearly realized that in this world, there was no one else who could hurt him so easily. And in this world, anyone can say that he is ruthless, but she is not qualified!

Her nose was sore, and she threw herself into his arms, clasping her hands tightly around his waist, and saying, 'I'm sorry! I'm sorry...... Don't worry, I said it wrong! ”

Zong Zheng Wuwu slowly lowered his eyes, covered all the emotions in his eyes, raised his hand to caress her thin back, and said in a low voice: "I...... What should I do with her? What do you want me to do? Have been with her like this, coaxing her, giving her hope? That's not helping her, that's hurting her! Do you understand? "These days, that's enough! If she wanted to use him to compensate for the harm Zhaoyun had suffered, then what had he become in her eyes?

Man Yao nodded vigorously in his arms, she understood, she understood. Raising her face slightly, she said softly: "But, we can't just leave her alone!" ”

Zong Zhengwu's face softened slightly, and he raised his hand to gently wipe away the tears hanging from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, and her white and almost transparent face seemed to be shattered at the touch of a button. He was distressed and helpless, and sighed: "Aman, I hope you are selfish. "Life is too short, while they are still together, they should cherish everything they have, he doesn't want other people to become an obstacle to his relationship. In this life, he would rather lose the world than her.

Her face, pressed against his palm, said quietly: "I'm already very selfish." ”

He shook his head, "It's not enough. Don't worry about Zhaoyun's affairs, leave it to me. What she suffers, those people will pay with their blood. I have ordered someone to draw up a decree to make her a princess, and treat her as a sister in the future. That's all I can do! ”

That's all there is to it. She nodded, and fell into his arms, her heart aching.

"Seventh brother, seventh brother...... the Nine Emperor Princes ran in with a shout, Zongzheng frowned, and reprimanded: "What's the matter?" Such a shouting and screaming. ”

The Nine Emperor Princes carried a face and cried out in distress: "Look, no matter how I persuade him, Zhaoyun just didn't listen, and the food and soup splashed me." He twisted his clothes with his hands to show them, and sure enough, there were large oil stains.

Zong Zheng squinted at it, and said without waves: "Go and persuade again." ”

"Huh? I'm still going? The Nine Emperors' whole face was about to wrinkle, and he almost pleaded: "Seventh brother, I can't persuade her, you can change someone." She didn't know me at all, she kicked and scratched me, and if you look at my hands, they were all scratched by her. He rolled up his sleeves, and sure enough, there were a few scratches on his arms.

Man Yao frowned and said, "I'll take a look." She got up as she spoke! But he was dragged by Zongzheng Wuwu, he kept a calm face, raised his eyebrows and looked at the Nine Emperor Princes, and said undoubtedly: "No matter what method you use, continue to persuade." If you can't persuade her, you're going to go back to the palace to guard the gate of the palace?! ”

"I ......" The Nine Emperor Princes were full of grievances, but they didn't dare to do it, so they had no choice but to quit.

Manyao worried: ! It's too embarrassing for Lao Jiu to treat him like this. “

Zong Zheng said lightly: "When I am not there, as the supreme commander of the army, he can't rescue Zhaoyun in time, isn't he responsible?" Well, regardless of others, eat.! ”

The Nine Emperors came out of the big tent, and they were depressed and didn't know what to do. He hung his head, sighed, and in desperation, he called someone to prepare a meal, and walked to the camp where Zhaoyun was

tiptoed, walked behind Xiao Ke, and reached out to slap her shoulder hard. shouted, "Stinky girl."

Xiao Ke was distracted by thinking about things, but she was almost frightened by his beat, she screamed "ah", bounced away, stared at her big watery eyes, and said angrily: "You want to scare people to death!" ”

"Ke'er, what's wrong?" Xiao Xu, who happened to be passing by outside the tent, heard the shout, and immediately rushed into the light with his sword

When the Nine Emperor Princes saw his posture, they intuitively shrunk their necks and laughed dryly, "It's okay, it's okay."

Xiao Xu walked over, pulled Xiao Ke over, separated them, looked at the Nine Emperor Princes coldly, and questioned what he said. "It's so late, the prince has nothing to do and came to my sister's tent, it seems that there is a ** share! Please also ask the prince to leave, and don't do this kind of thing in the future. ”

"You!" The Nine Emperors' faces twitched, a little angry. Thinking that he is a dignified prince, he was blocked by a guard commander and couldn't speak, it's too wretched! Ever since he had touched Xiao Ke's face a year ago, Xiao Ke had not looked good every time he saw him, and if it weren't for Liyue's face, he would have had to treat him well. The Nine Emperor Princes snorted coldly, raised their heads disdainfully, and told him about their identity? Ha, don't look at who he is, when does he care about those rules?

"In this barracks, wherever the king wants, he can go, and who can stop me? Today, I will say this to you, this king is not leaving, see what you can do to me? "His kung fu is absolutely first-class, and as he spoke, he walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, crossed his legs, leaned against the bed rail, and looked like he would sleep here tonight. glared at him fiercely, "Don't think that you are the prince, you can do nonsense!" Tell you, don't think about hitting my sister.

The Nine Emperors were not angry at all, but looked up and smiled: "Hey, I still beat her up, what's wrong with you?" When this battle is over, I will go and ask the seventh brother and seventh sister-in-law to marry, and then marry the stinky girl home in a beautiful way, and see if you can manage it in the future. ”

Xiao Ke was stunned for a moment, something exploded in her heart, and two red shocks flew on her face unconsciously, she stepped forward and half annoyed, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Who is going to marry you? ”

The Nine Emperors were also stunned, he just came casually, and he didn't realize what he was talking about. At this moment, when Xiao Ke asked him like this, his face suddenly froze, and he looked at Xiao Ke with some incredulity. I always avoid it when it comes to marrying a wife, even if it's a joke, I don't talk about it. But today I said it like this, so smooth. As if I had thought about it countless times in my heart, I didn't feel awkward at all, and I didn't even ......

He raised his hand and touched his chest, and he jumped so fast. He pushed Xiao Sha away, stood up with an unnatural face, and straightened his crumpled clothes.

Xiao Xu looked at his stiff expression, and then looked back at Xiao Ke's look that was more embarrassed than annoyed, and couldn't help but be stunned, the alarm bell in his heart was loud, and he frowned: "Ke'er, you ......"

Xiao Ke hurriedly interrupted: "We're fine. Brother, don't listen to his nonsense. If you have something to do, go and get busy. I still need to dispense medicine here. As he spoke, he pushed Xiao Xiao to the door.

Xiao Xu looked at her with very suspicious eyes, as if she didn't believe it, she actually kept the Nine Emperor Princes and drove his brother away! What makes sense?
