In the night sky, the stars are shining. Reflected in the vast sea, a bright starlight. The waves rise and fall, and so do the stars. Connecting with the starry sky in the distance, the sea and the sky are the same color.

On the deck, Lu Heng was wearing a thick coat, looking at the bright stars in the sky, his eyes were clear.

Beside him, Bai Suyan, who had changed into men's clothes, supported him tightly. Tag after.

"Let's sit down for a while!" Maybe it was because his health was still not good, but after walking for a while, Lu Heng, who was unable to speak, finally couldn't bear the exhaustion of his body and spoke.

Bai Gongzi hummed softly, nodded, and helped Lu Heng to sit down.

The two sat side by side, looking out at the sea at night in the distance.

On the surface of the sea, the stars shine like a dream.

There was silence for a while.

Only the soft sound of the waves crashing against the side of the ship, and the whirring of the Great Zhou flag on the mast.

"Why don't you speak?"

After a long silence, the two turned their heads in unison, looked at each other, and said so.

There was a feeling of refreshment, which made Lu Heng and Bai Gongzi smile slightly.

Lu Heng stretched out his arm and took Bai Gongzi into his arms. His fingers wrapped around the green silk under Bai Gongzi's hat, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Not angry?" ”

"Oops!" Bai Gongzi turned his head angrily and glared at Lu Heng. pouted: "Didn't you stop talking!" ”

"Something!" Lu Heng smiled, looked at the vast sea, and said softly: "There are some things that still need to be said!" I don't want to make my image in your heart a devil! ”

Turning his head, his fingers gently stirred Bai Gongzi's green silk. Seeing Bai Gongzi shyly lower his head, Lu Heng smiled and slammed into her smooth forehead.

"Nasty!" Bai Gongzi said shyly.

Lu Heng smiled slightly, and reached out to wrap his arms around Bai Gongzi's waist. Looking at the starlit sea, the gaze is profound and serene.

"Actually, no one likes war!" Lu Heng smiled faintly, as if talking to himself.

"Oh, I don't like it either!" Lu Heng smiled, shook his head and laughed at himself.

Looking at the quiet starry sky, Lu Heng's eyes were a little dazed. muttered: "Zeguo has entered the war map, and the people have a plan to be happy." Relying on the words of the king to seal the marquis, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither. ”

Holding Bai Suyan's hand, it tightened slightly. The corners of Lu Heng's mouth pulled up a wry smile, shook his head and said lightly: "Starting a war often means the death of countless people. Moreover, in the end, it was the common people who were injured the most! ”

"But, but since you know this, why do you still persuade the emperor to ......" Beside him, Bai Suyan looked at Lu Heng quietly, lowered his head and asked softly.

"Moreover, why did you give Duan Peng such an order?" Bai Suyan said as she spoke, tears falling from her eyes.

Two months ago, she had secretly made a trip to Goryeo.

When she went, she was excited. But after seeing Incheon and several other counties burned by the war, Bai Suyan's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

It can't be described as tragic anymore, and several county towns have become hell.

In the county, not a single house is intact. Once inside, it was a mess. A dilapidated city with fires burning everywhere. In the firelight, residual broken arms can be seen everywhere. On the potholed streets, rivers of blood flowed.

Bai Suyan's heart was cold, and he walked blankly. Unbeknownst to me, the shoes on his feet were already soaked with blood.

After walking several counties in a row, I found that one was more tragic than the other.

In the end, Bai Suyan didn't know how he came back.

After walking to the deck, her first reaction was to find Lu Heng, who was talking to General Wu at that time.

Then, in the stunned gaze of all. Bai Suyan picked up the hot tea on the table and poured Lu Heng's face.

Stared at Lu Heng indifferently in disappointment for a long time, and after dropping a word of devil, he turned around and left.

The misunderstanding between the two began from here.

In the next few days, Bai Suyan didn't take a single step, hiding in the room, crying and red-eyed. I remembered the tragic battlefield I saw. Her heart was in a mess.

When you close your eyes, you seem to be able to hear the cries of those unjust souls who died unjustly under the fire of the Great Zhou.

This feeling has been tormenting her. I'm going crazy.

And, in the midst of bitter tears. Bai Suyan had been waiting for Lu Heng to come and explain to him.

But there was no knock on the door, and it was coldly closed.

With the passage of time, Bai Suyan's heart became colder and colder. In the end, she was even skeptical. Was my decision wrong?

Until one night, there was a sudden knock on the door.

With a cold face, Bai Suyan, walked over and opened the door.

What appeared was not Lu Heng. It's Zhanxiong, who hasn't been seen for a long time.

Zhanxiong's gaze at that time was very unfamiliar, colder than the steel knife on the battlefield. He gave himself a cold look, and then his lips moved, and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant like magic iron.

"The military advisor is sick, very serious!"

After saying this, Zhan Xiong didn't look at her again, but turned to leave.

After hearing the news, Bai Suyan hesitated in the room for a long time.

Until I heard Wu Zheng yelling at his subordinates in anger outside: "Speed up, hurry back to Da Zhou!" After saying something like that, Bai Suyan felt that things might be really bad.

Otherwise, Zhanxiong, who has a hippie smile in Ping, would not be so cruel to him.

"Is he really sick?" Bai Suyan was restless and walked back and forth in the room. Said secretly.

Such a night was spent in hesitation and worry.

It wasn't until the next day that she walked out of the cabin and found that the flagship was hundreds of miles away from Goryeo, and she was shocked. Refusing to hesitate any longer, he rushed towards the heavily guarded cabin.

"I want to see him!" Facing the soldiers of the Snow Wolf Battalion who were blocking him, Bai Suyan bit his lip and lowered his head and said.

Wu Zheng's eyes erupted, looking at this woman, he snorted coldly, and was about to step forward to question.

However, as soon as he took a step, he was pulled by Zhanxiong.

Zhan Xiong glanced at him and shook his head slightly. Then he turned around and waved his hand. Let the soldier guarding the door open the room.

With a creak, the hatch opened. A dim light reflected from the room.

Inside, there is a strong smell of medicine.

On the bed, the scholar was lying on his back, covered with a thin quilt. Pale and unconscious.

On the side of the bed, a young general, who was still old, was looking at the doctor on the ship with an eager face.

And after the doctor touched the scholar's wrist, his brows suddenly tightened. After a long time, he withdrew his hand, turned his head, and looked at the little general. His eyes were gloomy, and he shook his head silently.

In the room, the candle flame flickered, like the hearts of everyone present, unsettled.

And the scholar lying on the boat, with a deep apology on his pale face. His eyebrows loosened, his lips moved, and he said nonsense: "One will be a success, I'm sorry!" ”

Seeing this scene, Bai Suyan's heart was broken.

The pride and indifference she had always insisted on were completely shattered at this moment.

It turned out that he didn't come to himself. It's that the heart is not enough.

He was so surnamed, and when he was seriously ill, he was still playing with his temper.

It doesn't matter what kind of murder or what kind of devil it is. At this moment, the most important thing is to be able to wake him up.

Bai Suyan rushed over crying, shaking Lu Heng's arm vigorously. I want to wake up the scholar.

On the side, Wang Gongye's eyes were cold, looking at this woman, his eyes flashed.

And Zhanxiong and Duan Peng, who followed up, saw that this kid seemed to have a tendency to go berserk. Without saying a word, he was directly pulled out.

In the quiet room, there was only the choked crying of Bai Suyan who almost fainted, and his heart was broken when he heard it.

The candle flame is faint, flickering on and off.

The tired Bai Suyan, looking at the pale face of the scholar, felt pain in his heart.

Regret and self-blame all came to mind at this moment.

However, Bai Suyan is not an ordinary woman after all. The perennial wandering of the rivers and lakes has cultivated her calmness and calmness.

After crying, she began to think about ways to treat Lu Heng.

Suddenly, the appearance of a small porcelain vase that Lu Heng gave to herself in Chengdu broke into her mind.

I remember that at that time, when Lu Heng stuffed the small porcelain bottle into his hand, he seemed to be half-joking, hoping that he would never need this thing.

And the name of that small porcelain vase is Heaven One!

After thinking of this, Bai Suyan raised her hand to wipe away her tears, hurriedly turned around and rushed out of the room.

Without stopping for a moment, when he returned to his room, he took out the small porcelain vase from the drawer.

After that, return again. Hang your heart and uncork the bottle.

Drops of golden liquid fell into the scholar's chapped lips.

…… The night breeze blows, and the waves are slightly undulating.

The big ship rode the wind and waves and continued to move forward.

On the deck, the two of them snuggled up to each other.

Lu Heng hesitated for a long time, with a touch of helplessness and regret in his eyes, and sighed: "That's because, because of the 100,000 Great Zhou soldiers and civilians who died unjustly!" ”

Bai Suyan, who was nestled in Lu Heng's arms, raised his head with a hint of shock and dismayness in his eyes, and looked at Lu Heng with an uneasy expression: "What are you talking about, what 100,000 unjust souls??" ”

Regarding the massacre in Liaodong, Lu Heng did not tell her.

At the beginning, Bai Gongzi was dressed in a white shirt and stood at the bow of the boat in a dusty manner. That scene made Lu Heng secretly say in his heart that her white color should not be stained with blood.

So, this matter was put on hold.

Now, the smoke has cleared and the war is over. As Lu Heng thought before, in the entire war, Bai Suyan did not make a sword.

It's still the same dream, like a fairy out of the dust.

Now, looking at Bai Suyan's stunned gaze, Lu Heng hesitated for a long time, and finally said it.

The war is over, and the dust has fallen. At this time, it doesn't matter if you say it.

"The coalition forces of Goryeo Dongying, after contributing to the defense line of the Yalu River, slaughtered more than 100,000 unarmed people in the three counties of our Great Zhou!" Lu Heng's eyes were cold, and he said lightly.

Turning his head, he looked at Bai Suyan with a shocked face. Lu Heng took a deep breath and said firmly: "Now, the grievances are over. May the dead rest in peace! ”
