CHAPTER XXXIV

As the Qin-Zhao marriage continued, there was no possibility of armed conflict on the Qin-Zhao border for the time being. The Qin side expressed its sincerity and continued to withdraw the original 300,000 troops to 200,000, leaving 100,000 to garrison. Only 100,000 were left on the Zhao side, and the rest were sent to various border garrisons. And Li Mu rushed back to Jinyang with a small team of people.

When he stepped into the courtyard, the white color of the courtyard made it difficult for him to breathe. I used the last bit of spiritual strength to walk to the mourning hall arranged in the main hall. He couldn't see anyone, only the bright red coffin in the center, the coffin was so red that it made his eyes hurt.

He paused at the door for a moment before he approached the coffin, which had been covered. If a hand weighing thousands of pounds is placed on the coffin lid, and the force is pushed, the coffin lid falls heavily on the ground, making a loud noise.

King Zhao's family was all present, and even the crown prince Zhao Qian, who had been training in the military camp all the year round, rushed back from the army to give this aunt, who had only met once or twice when she was a child, for a ride.

No one in the room of grieving people spoke out to stop them, and even King Zhao and Empress Dowager Zhao couldn't bear to say anything. These two people finally came together after staying up, and seeing that happiness was within reach, they ended up in an eternal separation. What's even more sad is that it is unknown who killed the crane, and it turns out that the few assassins who were caught should have taken poison in advance before acting, and they all died not long after they were caught, and there is no way to find out if they want to take revenge.

Li Mu looked at the crane whose face was so pale that there was no life, and for a while, he told himself that she was just asleep. When they parted, she smiled so gracefully and sweetly. She said she would wait for him to come back and then share a happy secret with him. It's only been more than a month, why is she just lying down waiting for him to come back? She hasn't told him the secret of happiness yet, so can't she hear the secret of happiness she says again?

He bent down and picked up the stiff crane, and then gently sat down on the ground together. He hugged her so tightly, so tightly...

Granny Li, who was kneeling and weeping constantly, looked at Li Mu as if she was expressionless like an empty shell that had lost her life, and she was even more distressed. She has taken care of the crane all her life, and she has long treated her like a daughter.

Her poor princess, why didn't God take her life if he wanted to take her life, and it would not be so unjust to leave the princess for a few more years of decent life. Thinking that the crane was surrounded by happiness not long ago, she told her every day that when the general came back, she confessed to him that she no longer felt guilty about him, because she had already loved him with all her heart.

Granny Li knew that Li Mu had fallen into the abyss of grief and should not add more pain to him, but if she didn't tell the general about the princess's thoughts, he was afraid that he would never know, which was too unfair, and death at least let them know that they had already been in love with each other.

"General, the princess has gone, she is waiting for the time of the general, very happy, the princess said, she has fallen in love with the general as much as the general loves her, she is in love with the general with all her heart, the princess ......"

When Li Mu heard what she said, his expression finally changed a little, and his fingers kept touching the cold cheeks of the crossbow crane.

Granny Li cried so hard that she almost couldn't say the rest of her words, so she breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "The princess is happy not only because she understands that her affection for the general has already entered her heart and lungs, but also because of ...... Because she has broken the general's flesh and bones. ”

Such an unexpected outcome led everyone into an even heavier pain. Empress Dowager Zhao almost fainted in pain, and King Zhao had been holding back the tears that had not been shed, and the embankment broke instantly. The cries of others were even more desolate and mournful.

Li Mu trembled and put his hand on the belly of the crane, and the blood and tears hidden in his heart finally broke out: "Ah...... Crane, no, you can't leave my ...... like this. It turned out that the secret of happiness she said was that they had crystallization, but it was a baby who was born too late, so she just came and left without saying hello.

Li Mu's sorrow seemed to touch the dark clouds in the sky, thunder burst, lightning exploded, and an unprecedented rainstorm poured down, and the rain covered every corner of the entire Jinyang.

Li Mu's heart was closed, and after the wailing, as if there was no one beside him, he picked up the crane and got up and walked out of the outhouse. King Zhao stopped: "Li Mu, what are you doing here?" ”

"He'er is not suitable for the world, I want to take her back to the pear orchard, I shouldn't be greedy, I shouldn't marry her. If she lives well in the pear orchard, she will definitely be fine now, but I am too greedy. If I hadn't asked her to marry her in the pear orchard, she wouldn't have thought of marrying me. Our beginning is in the pear orchard, then I must take her back to continue our love, it is too filthy here, my crane does not like it in the first place. ”

Li Mu said something, Empress Dowager Zhao was heartbroken, shook her head in tears, and said to King Zhao: "Dan'er, don't stop it, let them go~ Let them go ......"

In this way, Li Mu walked into the rain alone with the body of the crane. And the rain in the sky fell more violently, probably because he wanted to wash away a little grief for Li Mu......

Perxi, who had been kneeling on the ground, had not shed a single tear from beginning to end, she didn't know why she couldn't shed tears, could it be that she had already shed a dream in her dreams?

Ah, but she felt something else, her heart, which had barely hurt since waking up, seemed to hurt again. Yes, it hurt more and more, and then she seemed to vomit another mouthful of blood, and then she fell into a coma again.

Liu Chang has been guarding Poxi's side, holding the soft Poxi, Baili Chou is afraid of this situation, so when Poxi insisted on coming to see her mother for the last time after she woke up, she also followed and guarded every inch.

Liu Chang carried Poxi to her own room and put it on the couch, and Baili Chouzhi, who followed behind, hurriedly stepped forward to check the pulse. King Zhao helped the Empress Dowager Zhao to follow.

Everyone held their breath and nervously waited for Baili Chouzhi's diagnosis, and after a while, Baili Chou withdrew his hand to take the pulse. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's no big deal, she vomited the dirty blood that had been suppressed before, and it was good to spit it out." As for the coma, it was just a blow, and not long after I woke up, I was already weak and prone to collapse. ”

After everyone listened, the beating of the heart slowly returned to normal. For King Zhao and Empress Dowager Zhao, nothing can happen to Poxi now, her life and death are related to the entire Zhao Kingdom, and they are reluctant to let her have an accident.

And what Liu Chang thought of was of course Win Zheng, in case something happened to the little fairy again, Win Zheng was afraid that there would be half a less, no, it was the whole life, the two of them had long been one You have me, I have you and I have your community.

After Empress Dowager Zhao and King Zhao returned to the palace, because Poxi was resting in the other courtyard, Liu Chang simply discussed with Meng Tian and Gongsun Teng to directly move the escort team to the other courtyard, anyway, except for Meng Tian, Liu Chang and Gongsun Teng, the others had already returned to Qin first, and they stayed here with the two hundred escorts to protect Perxi.

The guards quickly secured the courtyard layer by layer. After a long time, Perxi woke up again and saw that he was in a familiar bedroom, and the wedding dress hanging on the wooden frame in front of the window was still so eye-catching. Not long ago, she looked at this exquisite wedding dress, and she was still so full of happiness. Now, a big chunk of that fullness is missing. Because she carries too much life weight.

No wonder her mother would tell her that day not to believe others who say that she is a disaster star, so it seems that she is really a bit like a disaster star, there is nothing wrong with her, in just one day, several good lives have been lost for her. The cruelty of this indirect demand weighed down every tentacle of her.

She slowly got up and got off the couch and walked to the wedding dress. When her fingers touched the phoenix, she cried, and this phoenix was not something she could substitute for for the time being.

She knew that her brother Zheng only recognized her, but she naively thought that as long as Brother Zheng said to follow him and believe him, she could be the phoenix next to Brother Zheng. It turns out that no, her political brother can do anything for her, so what can she do for her political brother?

If one day she encounters such a thing again, will she have to sacrifice someone to fulfill her? Who else could she sacrifice? She is left with a political brother, just like Brother Zheng said, he can lay down the world for her, and she is the same. I can't let go of anything, and I coexist with Brother Zheng.

She can bear all the tolerance and sacrifice that Brother Zheng has given her, but she can't bear to accept it without giving anything back. Even if Brother Zheng tries his best to protect her, there may be a day when his protection still can't protect her. If she is destroyed, Brother Zheng will also be destroyed.

Only she can protect herself by her own strength, and when she stands side by side with Brother Zheng in the future, she can realize that you have me, and I have you and rely on each other.

If Brother Zheng is a tyrannosaurus swimming in the sky, then she can't just be a phoenix in his greenhouse, she must be a phoenix who can overlook the earth with him and live and die together, only in this way can Brother Zheng take her to achieve the world's ambition of a win-win situation in Kyushu.

Liu Chang and Baili Chou came into the room and saw her in tears and pondering on the wedding dress. Liu Chang walked over and comforted softly: "Little fairy, don't worry, you're fine, tomorrow we will go back to the cliff cave with the old man to recuperate for a while, and then we can go back to the Qin Kingdom, and then you can return to the king with a beautiful marriage." ”

"Uncle, I won't marry for the time being."

"Uh... Why? Are you angry because the king left you to go back to Qin first? ”

"No, I'll never be angry with Brother Zheng, even if he doesn't want me anymore, I won't be angry with him."

"Then why don't you get married? If you don't get married, it's going to be a big deal. ”

Po Xi didn't speak again, just took off his belt and went to the desk, picked up the embroidered scissors and swiped it on his index finger, Liu Chang wanted to stop it, but Bai Li Chou grabbed him and shook his head.

After writing the words "wait for me" on the white belt with bleeding fingers, Po Xi got up and walked up to Liu Chang and handed the belt to him: "Uncle, please bring this belt and wedding dress back to Qin State intact and hand them over to Brother Zheng, and tell him that one day, I will definitely go to Qin State to find him in person, put on this wedding dress for him, and be with him for the rest of my life." ”

"......" Liu Chang suddenly felt that Poxi had changed a person, and she was still so beautiful, but her innocence seemed to have been faded clean, leaving only a certain power that was breaking out of her shell. He suddenly understood why Ying Zheng loved her so much. The two of them are basically the same kind of people, and they can make themselves truly worthy of love for the sake of their loved ones. When it is critical, you can also be fearless and pour your heart into the other party......

Seeing Liu Chang take the belt wordlessly, she knelt down to Baili Chou and said, "Master, Poxi has something to ask for." ”

"Hurry up, you know you don't need to ask, if I don't care about you, old man, I won't come out of the cliff cave to save you."

"Please take the master back to the cliff cave, I not only have to take care of my body, but I also have to learn from the master, I can learn anything, I need strength. I need to find out who killed my mother, and I need to find out all the secrets of my body thoroughly, otherwise I will never be complete for the rest of my life, and then I will not be worthy of standing by my brother's side. ”

"You ......"

"I've heard it all, and I've seen it, I'm the Liyang Phoenix Girl, a symbol of the destruction of the country."

"Girl, you are not a symbol of the destruction of the country...... "Baili Chou anxiously wanted to explain.

"I know, because my mother said that I am not me, and Brother Zheng said that I am not, I am even more not, so, for my mother, for Brother Zheng, and all the people who sacrificed for me, I have to rely on my own strength to prove that I am not a disaster, otherwise, even if Brother Zheng is willing to fight against the people of the world for me, it will only make Brother Zheng fall into the title of a confused king who is confused by me, he can't take such a title to lead the Great Qin Empire, I want to let Brother Zheng face the whole world with a clear conscience from the inside out, Otherwise, even if he is strong, it will be difficult to block the mouths of the people, in the eyes of others, he is a king who insists on commanding the world, only when the hearts of the people are one, can Brother Zheng stand more firmly at the top. ”

"Yes, yes!! Hahaha... So you are now one in the true sense of the word. ”

Baili Sorrow is unexpected, a girl who only has a simple and beautiful mind, did not give up on herself after experiencing the ordeal, but became transparent overnight. He looked deeply at Perxi, which had become more tenacious, and his heart was also clear.

He is the last descendant of the ancient bloodline of the Baili clan, and the phoenix of the Baili clan and the ancient bloodline is the physical luck of living and dying together. Therefore, the fate of Perxi is also destined for her to be the last phoenix girl. More than two hundred years ago, the Baili clan withdrew from the duty of guarding the phoenix girl, and went around and around, this fate turned out to be unavoidable.

Although Liu Chang heard it in a fog, he didn't continue to ask more, he only knew that protecting the little fairy was what he should do. What the little fairy wants to do, he is as obedient as he is to win the government.

As a result, the marriage between Qin and Zhao remained unchanged, but it became a time to be determined. Soon after Poxi followed Baili Chou to the cliff cave, the news of the death of the Empress Dowager Zhao came. Poxi didn't go to see off Empress Dowager Zhao for the last time, because she didn't have the face to face Empress Dowager Zhao.

Since then, she has practiced herself in the cliff cave with the life of Baili Sorrow. The hardships of the future are still waiting for her, waiting for everyone to face them......
