Chapter 147: Don't Be Your Bond
The head of Dayang City.
Dressed in golden armor, Liu Wei stood on the city wall, looking at the vast mountains in the distance. Standing behind him was not the personal soldiers who had been following him in the past, but Tao Huanniang, who was wearing a moon-white skirt.
"Do you see the mountains in the distance?" Pointing to a continuous mountain in the northeast, Liu Wei said to Tao Huanniang who was standing behind him: "In a few days, it will become a battlefield full of blood and broken bodies, are you still willing to go with me?" ”
"The slave family has seen dead people!" Standing behind Liu Wei, Tao Huanniang lowered her head and said softly: "In Bishan that day, if it weren't for His Royal Highness, the slave family would have died in the hands of the thief army......"
"yes!" Looking at the mountains in the distance, Liu Wei nodded, sighed lightly, and said to Tao Huanniang: "But do you know that it was just a small battle. So small that in this troubled world, it is almost impossible for anyone to remember that there was such a battle in Bishan! ”
"In a few days, the battle that will take place will be a melee of tens of thousands, or even 100,000 people!" Liu Wei turned his head, put his hands on Tao Huanniang's shoulders, stared at her watery eyes without blinking, and said to her: "At that time, there will be corpses all over the field and rivers of blood!" I don't want you to go to a place like that, be obedient and let Tao Hu escort you to Woniu Mountain, okay? ”
"No!" Tao Huanniang shook her head stubbornly, looked up at Liu Wei, and said to him: "The slave family wants to follow His Highness, even if he wades through the river of blood, as long as His Highness thinks it is time to go, the slave family will never turn back!" ”
"I don't want you to get too close to blood!" Holding Tao Huanniang's fragrant shoulders with both hands, Liu Wei put his forehead against her head, and said softly: "You are the person I care about, and you are a weak woman!" How can I get the woman I care about to slip through the blood-soaked path? ”
Sighing lightly, Liu Wei let go of the hands that were holding Tao Huanniang's shoulders, put one arm around her fragrant shoulders, stood side by side with her on the city wall, and said to her leisurely: "The country is infinite, but it is watered with the blood of countless people. If I am not from the Han lineage, if Dong Zhuo is not bent on killing me and then quickly, if this world is not in troubled times, if I have a choice, I would rather there will never be war in the world, there will never be killing! Everyone can live and work in peace and contentment! ”
When he said this, the expression on Liu Wei's face was lonely. Tao Huanniang, who was standing beside him, looked up at him, and her eyes were also full of confusion.
Since she met Liu Bian, she had never seen such a lonely look on Liu Bian's face.
She suddenly had a feeling that the resolute, resolute and meticulous Liu Wei beside her in the past was just wearing a mask that others couldn't see through and didn't want others to see through. Standing in front of her at this time is the Liu Wei who really reveals his heart!
"Killing, what it brings to people is nothing more than the separation of wives and the separation of flesh and blood!" Holding Tao Huanniang's fragrant shoulder, Liu Wei's eyes looked straight at the mountains in the distance, and said softly: "Although the years will erase the pain, each of us is just a handful of smoke and dust that has come to the world!" But the pain of losing a loved one will still be deeply engraved in the hearts of our generation and will never be erased! ”
"Your Royal Highness......" looked up at Liu Bian, Tao Huanniang gently snuggled her head on Liu Bian's chest, and said softly: "In this life, the slave family is willing to follow His Highness, His Highness will go on the expedition, and the slave family will wait in the camp; His Royal Highness triumphed, and the slave family cooked hot food for His Highness and washed away the tired. ”
"You still don't understand!" After listening to Tao Huanniang's words, Liu Wei turned around, wrapped his arms around her, looked at her big watery eyes and said, "I want you to stay away from danger!" Get away from the battlefield! I am a royal bloodline, with an army of more than 20,000 people, and there will be more in the future! But I'm also a man, an ordinary man, just like the men in the world! ”
Grabbing Tao Huanniang's arm, Liu Wei's fingers unconsciously used more strength, and Tao Huanniang's arm was painful.
But Tao Huanniang didn't moan, nor did she struggle, she just silently raised her head and looked at Liu Wei.
"Men should stand up to the sky! But men are also vulnerable! Grabbing Tao Huanniang's arm, Liu Wei's eyes showed a look of concern, and said to her: "Many things may make me feel helpless, the battlefield is changing rapidly, in case you have three long and two short, how do I deal with it?" How can I bear my life without you? My shoulders are not very wide, and I can't carry a lot of heavy weights, and losing you is a weight I can't bear! ”
Liu Wei's words made Tao Huanniang's heart flood with an indescribable desolation, she lowered her head, closed her eyes tightly, two crystal tears slipped from the long eyelashes, under the sunlight, flashing with colorful luster, falling on the hard city wall at her feet.
"Hmm!" After a long time, Tao Huanniang nodded, and said to Liu Wei with a little choked up in her tone: "The slave family is not around, Your Highness must take care of your own family." His Royal Highness always likes to kick open the mattress every night, and when the slave family is not in the future, he will sleep at night and take care of the soldiers......"
"And!" Without waiting for Liu Wei to answer, Tao Huanniang raised her head, stared at Liu Wei's eyes with a pair of tearful eyes, and said to him softly: "Your Highness is always busy with military affairs, and you still have to eat every day. Remember not to eat cold rice, often eat cold rice, it is not good for the body......"
"I've written it all down!" Tao Huanniang's words made Liu Bian's heart feel like he had knocked over a five-flavor bottle, mixed with sweet and sour, and he couldn't tell what it was like, he hugged Tao Huanniang tightly in his arms, and said to her softly: "I will live well, and I still want to eat the minced meat you cooked for me." ”
"When His Highness triumphs, the slave family cooks minced meat for His Highness all day long......" snuggled in Liu Bian's arms, but Tao Huanniang was already choked up and couldn't say any more, she buried her head in Liu Bian's chest, whimpering and sobbing in a low voice, tears stained on the scales of Liu Bian's golden armor, refracting dazzling golden light.
The two stood on the head of the city embracing, the wind stirred the ends of their hair, tears blinded Tao Huanniang's eyes, and also wet Liu Wei's strong heart on the outside but deep but full of tenderness.
As the sun sets, the orange afterglow spreads across the land. Liu Wei put one hand around Tao Huanniang's fragrant shoulder, and the other hand was on the cold battlements, looking at the blood-colored remnant sun in the sky.
"I love twilight!" Looking at the red sun hanging in the sky, Liu Wei said to Tao Huanniang beside him leisurely: "The sun sets, and night falls!" Although the night will bring endless darkness, a new round of sun will eventually rise from the end of the horizon, and we will finally usher in new sunshine! ”
"Why doesn't Your Highness like the rising sun?" Snuggled in Liu Wei's arms, Tao Huanniang said softly: "Your Highness likes the new sun, isn't the rising sun new?" ”
"Without darkness, how can we appreciate the benefits of light!" Looking down at Tao Huanniang, whose head was nestled in his chest, Liu Wei said softly: "Just like now, if it weren't for Dong Zhuo's chaotic government, if it weren't for the rise of a group of heroes, how would we know how precious it is to live a peaceful and quiet life?" ”
Snuggled up to Liu Wei's chest, looking at the remnant sun in the sky, Tao Huanniang's heart was filled with a trace of sadness.
She is about to separate from Liu Wei, escorted by Tao Hu, to Woniu Mountain. She knew that Liu Wei wanted her to leave because he didn't want her to get too close to the battlefield full of killings, and he didn't want to be distracted by her presence.
But the blood-colored afterglow of the setting sun made her vaguely smell the strong smell of blood. That's the smell of the battlefield, the smell of bloody killings.
After leaving Liu Wei, she will no longer be able to stay by his side. The only thing she can do is to silently pray for Liu Wei every day, praying that God can let Liu Wei return to her intact.
Night fell quietly, and Liu Wei and Tao Huanniang, who had stood on the head of the city for a long time, embraced each other and stepped on the street to return to the official mansion.
When night falls, the noisy streets during the day become deserted.
A small whirlwind rolled and rampaged through the streets. Holding Tao Huanniang in her arms, whenever a whirlwind rolls in her face, Liu Wei will stand up in front of her.
Behind the two were five pro-soldiers, including Tao Hu.
Looking at Tao Huanniang's intimate appearance with Liu Wei, Tao Hu's heart was also filled with indescribable feelings.
Since Liu Wei first entered Taojiazhuang, Tao Hu found that his sister had secretly promised Liu Wei her heart.
Later, he reunited with Liu Wei in Bishan, and Tao Hu was even more mixed. He is happy that he can see the "gentleman" who he admires in his heart, but he is worried that Tao Huanniang can't let go of the fetters in his heart, and still loves this Hongnong King who they can't climb!
Tao Hu has the same inferiority complex as Tao Huanniang, in his heart, he and Tao Huanniang are just commoners, born in the lowest family, while Liu Wei is the king of Hongnong who is high and rich to the extreme.
What he didn't expect was that Tao Huanniang did not let go of her love for Liu Bian, but in the days when he was away, she successfully broke into Liu Bian's life and became the woman Liu Bian's heart cared about!
Liu Wei hugged Tao Huanniang, entered the official mansion, and walked straight towards the backyard.
Several soldiers standing at the door of the room saw him and Tao Huanniang hugging each other back, and one of them hurriedly opened the door and stood on one side, watching the two enter the room, and then closed the door again.
"Tao Hu, tonight you kid is probably going to become His Royal Highness's brother-in-law!" Closing the door, a pro-soldier winked at Tao Hu twice, and joked in a narrow voice.
Tao Hu smiled bitterly, but his eyes stayed on the door that had been tightly closed, and there was an indescribable taste in his heart.
At this time, Tao Huanniang, who had entered the house, had already lit the candle, and the soft candlelight spread all over the room, and the pale golden light was projected on her and Liu Wei's bodies, dragging out two long black shadows on the ground and the wall.
