Chapter Seventy-Four: The Trade-off
(Girls' Literature)
The air was cold and hard. The cold wind swept the leaves across his cheeks, and it hurt for a while.
I pursed my lips and rode my horse as fast as I could. The sound of horses' hooves behind him rang in my ears uninterruptedly. Far away but clear. It seems ethereal and yet unusually real. One after another. Hammer on the heart.
A silent cry in my heart. Let's go back. Go back quickly. Don't chase it.
But Jun Mochen couldn't hear the voice in my heart. He's still trying to catch up. And he was vaguely shouting behind him, and I couldn't hear him. Only bury himself in the horse and run.
What a drama life is. I tried so hard to get him to change his mind. Now goodbye, but I wish I wanted to be a stranger to him. Jun Mochen. Ling Tianyan's eyes couldn't rub the sand. You have chosen her. I will not be an eyesore in your presence.
But why are you chasing so hard now?
I've never worked so hard as I do today. I used all my strength to escape. Even Jun Mochen can't catch up with my horse. But the sound of his horse's hooves still kept up from afar. Never stop.
Seeing that there is Anyang City in front of me. One can even hear the roar of artillery explosions and scorching air waves. There was also an increasingly strong smell of blood.
Jun Mochen didn't pause or hesitate at all. Catch up regardless of the recklessness. I glanced back. I can't suppress the worry in my heart.
Now the two armies are at war. On the battlefield, the sword is not long-sighted. And the place where I walked was the place where Ling Jun was most concentrated. If they find out, it will be Jun Mochen who will follow. How can you give up? Then he would have to worry about his life.
In the end, I can't make up my mind. I sighed softly. He pulled the reins slightly. He was hesitant to persuade him to go back. Just then a horse rushed out horizontally. It's Limo. Stopped Jun Mochen deadly.
I was relieved for no apparent reason. Then he continued to ride his horse and went straight into the hinterland of Ling Jun without looking back.
I rode my horse all the way to the Great Tent. It hasn't stopped. Qin Qiao'er cried. From the initial silent crying to the suppressed choking to the final crying. She almost fell off her horse.
I reached out to help her. She was completely unconscious. Stumbling forward. The eyes are even more hollow. I was puzzled. I didn't tell her. News that her husband is no longer there. Why is she so sad?
Until she pounced on a body. I just reacted. She must have seen her husband just now.
She screamed and cried. Desperately shaking the bloody body in his arms. But where could he hear it? Such a scene is moving. How many eight-foot men around him quietly reddened their eyes.
Look at it. I didn't notice sore and swollen eyes. Life and death are never irresistible. Whether you want it or not. This day is always coming.
I looked back at the direction Jun Mochen was chasing. There was no trace of him there. Only black smoke filled the air. But his heart ached for no reason.
Qin Qiao'er said goodbye to life and death. Isn't that what I'm about to go through?
When another wave of attacks from the Chen army came up. Ling Jun was already exhausted. It's just the end of the crossbow. It's just hard to top.
The battlefield was chaotic. Qin Qiao'er is not suitable for this.
I stepped forward to try to separate them. didn't want Qin Qiao'er to hold her husband tightly. Blood stained her all over her body, and she still didn't know it.
Her voice was already hoarse. The eyes are swollen like walnuts. His cheeks and lips were already blue from the cold. There is still half a minute of agility when I was in Kyoto.
Someone stepped forward. Wants to pull his husband away. But she was like a frightened bird. Biting, kicking, and never letting go. But that's not the way to go. The weather is cold. It's been like this for a long time. I'm afraid that even she can't stand it.
At a time when I was at a loss. Yan Yi strode forward. Slash at the back of her neck with a palm knife. She shook twice and fainted. That's what separates them.
The soldiers on the side carried Qin Qiao'er into the tent. I'm in a hurry to follow. Passing by Yan Yi's side. But suddenly he took my hand. Lips lightly opened. But there was not a word for a long time.
I know what he's going to say. I just wanted to ask how the situation is in Kyoto. If it was once upon a time. He must be worried that my trip will go well. It looks like time is magical. It can turn one beyond recognition. It's just that I don't even feel half a point in my heart.
I pretended not to know. "The people of Kyoto are terrified. The people closed their doors. It seems that they are still very confident in General Yan. I'm sure you can get through it. ”
Yan Yi's expression darkened. A wry smile. "You don't have to worry about that. There are no women here. I will leave it to you to take care of Qin Qiao'er. ”
I smiled. "Okay."
When I turned around, I instantly burst into tears. It would be nice if time could be turned back. I'm still the unfavored princess. You are still the descendant of the military general who is not famous but has ambitions.
The sun set brightly that day. It's like a fire in the West. Is it destined from the moment you step into Changle Palace, "The sunset is infinitely better." Just near dusk".
All kinds of past. Hope is a dream. Nothing happened when I woke up.
I looked at Qin Qiao'er who was lying on the couch in embarrassment. Still muttering to himself in his sleep. "Didn't you say you were going to be nice to me for the rest of your life. How can you be willing to make me so sad. ”
Lifetime. I chuckled inwardly. A lifetime is too long and too heavy. Who can really accompany someone for a lifetime.
I gently wiped the blood from her face with a handkerchief. and he changed her clothes cleanly. I held the blood-stained garment in my hand for a long time, but I still folded it and put it next to her pillow.
It was the blood of his loving husband. Since then, yin and yang have been separated. They will never see each other again. Only when ...... Just keep a thought about it.
But I don't want to be at night. She began to burn in a heavy heart. In my dreams, I still kept talking nonsense. One will say. "Don't leave me behind, okay. You said you were going to stay with me for the rest of your life......"
After a while, he chuckled out again. "If you want to eat, I won't give it to you. I'm hungry for you. ”
Such a little daughter's infatuation and anger. I was so envious and distressed when I saw it.
Bring a hot-water soaked towel to wipe her cheeks and arms. She held me tightly with her backhand. Look flustered. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead. I was trembling all over. I don't know what happened to her in my dreams. I can only comfort in my ears in a soft voice.
A woman who is so lively and cheerful on weekdays. In his sleep, his hands are so strong. The back of the hand she was holding had been pinched out by her fingernails for months. I bit my lip and let her go. Until she finally relaxed and fell asleep.
Only then did he withdraw the back of his hand, and when he saw it, it was bruised. And the culprit slept soundly. I was stunned and chuckled. If this pain can be exchanged, she will have a stable and good dream. It's also quite worthwhile.
"You're the only one who's so stupid. My hands hurt like this, and I laughed. Yan Yi's voice sounded behind him. It was only when she fell asleep. The pitch was deliberately lowed. But I can still hear the banter.
When I turned around, I saw Yan Yi standing at the door. There were even multiple scratches. The clothes were in tatters. There was exhaustion between the eyebrows and eyes.
I was taken aback. I couldn't help but stand up and walk towards him.
It's just that I was sitting on my knees. was pulled by Qin Qiao'er for most of the time. The legs were already sore. So suddenly together. The darkness in front of him fell straight to one side.
Yan Yi came over to help me quickly. Just the palm of my hand took me into my arms at the same time. I don't know if it's because I've been heavy lately or if he hasn't stood firm. Unexpectedly, one of them hugged the ground.
His face was right in front of him. Within reach, breath meet. There was so quiet that there was not a single sound. Suddenly, it was as if I had returned to the time when I was in Changle Palace.
As soon as he had the opportunity to enter the palace, he would secretly come to Changle Palace to see me. At that time, we were like thieves who were afraid of being discovered. Cautious but extremely excited. I was always sad. Why do you always feel that my relationship with Yilang is so dark?
But now that I think about it. I miss it very much. Never again, carefree days. Sure enough, only when you lose it is precious.
Yan Yi's face moved closer to me little by little. His intentions were so obvious and so clear. I didn't move, my body stiffened. Jun Mochen's face rushed into his mind unexpectedly. Today he rode his horse and pursued me with all his might. The look of surprise on my face when I saw me......
I tilted my head slightly. Yan Yi's lips fell on my cheek.
Yan Yi's expression changed. His eyes darkened. I'm a little embarrassed.
At this time. Qin Qiao'er suddenly let out an uncomfortable **. Only then did I realize that Yan Yi and I were still lying on the ground in such an extremely intimate and ambiguous position. Hurriedly pushed him away and stood up.
In a panic, he patted the dirt off his body. Walked up to check on Qin Qiao'er. She only frowned slightly. Didn't wake up. I was relieved for no apparent reason. Turned his head to look at Yan Yi. He simply didn't get up. Lie directly on the ground in the shape of a "big" figure.
I was shocked. This spring day is the most likely to hurt the body. How did he just lie on the ground. Then they were going to pull him up. He just pressed my hand. I didn't get up and just held it tightly.
Long. Only then did he choke up. "Tilt your face. How do you feel like I'm getting farther and farther away from you? It's right around. But why can't I reach you? ”
My throat choked. It's like eating fish as a child, and getting stuck in a tiny fish bone. It's very uncomfortable, but you can't get it out.
"Tilt your face. Tomorrow. I'm probably going to lose again. Why is it always me who loses? The last defeat has made me lose the most precious treasure of this life. This time. There's only one life......"
His eyes burned in the night. It seems to contain a little tear in it. I can't see the emotions in it. I reached out to wipe away the tears. But suddenly he took my hand. Solemn. "This time. I won't let you leave me again. Even if it's death. ”
That's when I found out. Where are the tears. It was clearly reflected by the candle flame next to the couch. I heard myself say. "Good. I'm not leaving. Even if we die, we'll all be together. ”
Yan Yi smiled contentedly. The hand he was holding hurt. But it's warm.
