Chapter 146: The Past (5)

When Wenle returned to the palace, he couldn't wait to open the brocade box that Su Lu gave her, and inside was a red jade bracelet. It is carved with two small fish with their tails intersecting. She happily carried it in her hand.

At that time, her hands were small, and the bracelet was about as thick as she had to be brought to her elbows, but fortunately her hands were chubby and could not fall off. The fair-skinned arms, accompanied by blood-red bracelets, are a little enchanting.

She was so overjoyed that she refused to take it off wherever she went.

The emperor really didn't pursue the matter of them sneaking out of the palace. Su Lu was right again, and Wen Le liked to run towards Ling Feng Hall more and more. It used to be once a day, now it's three or five times a day.

I don't know when it started, Wenle seems to have fallen in love with eating sugar paintings, and every day when he comes to Sulu's Ling Feng Palace, he will inevitably bring a sugar painting to him. He doesn't eat sweets, and he ends up in Bunraku's belly.

Su Lu remembered the words she had asked the vendor on the street that day, and suddenly understood where the sugar painting came from. Princess Beiqing is extraordinary, what she wants, the emperor must be able to give her.

He found that Bunraku seemed to be very able to eat, all day long, not idle, and every time he came to his Ling Feng Palace, there was always a lot of food. He reads, and she eats happily.

He had long been accustomed to it, and if there was suddenly no sound one day, he would feel a little lonely. He smiled wryly, is this the so-called masochistic tendency?

Jin Chenkang also came occasionally, but every time he brought Jin Shuiyue's little troublesome essence. Ling Fengdian's bustle for a while gave Su Lu a headache.

"Hey, little fat man, where did you get this bracelet? It's pretty good! Jin Chenkang knocked on the melon seeds and asked with raised eyebrows. He had never seen Bunraku wear any bracelets and earrings, so he was a little curious when he saw the blood-red bracelet. And the bracelet is not very good, how can she be like something.

"You care about me!" She took a shot and slammed back. Jin Shuiyue, the little dot on the side, snorted coldly, and muttered in a milky voice. Wenle didn't hear it clearly, but Jin Chenkang did.

She said, "The hot face sticks to the cold buttocks", which made Jin Chenkang's face black in an instant, is this his own sister-in-law? This is a pick-up, right? He grew up in the Marquis Mansion of Wu'an since he was a child, why has he never seen such a poisonous person? How could they have such a character in the Jin Mansion?

Jin Chenkang saw that he couldn't say that the two of them, so he had to eat melon seeds. Su Lu raised his head from the book and said, "In the past few days, you can teach you all the swordsmanship?" ”

Jin Chenkang said with a smile: "It will be a long time ago!" "A twelve-year-old boy has no pressure in front of a seventeen-year-old boy, even if Su Lu is a head taller than him.

"Hmm." Su Lu responded lightly.

Jin Chenkang saw that he had no follow-up, threw down the melon seeds in his hand, and said, "Why don't you have a competition?" ”

"Okay."

Wen Le heard the conversation between the two of them, and he had a headache, Jin Chenkang, a nerd, has never had a memory. Since the first time he competed with Brother Sulu, which time did he win? However, he just doesn't remember to eat. Defeated again and again, defeated again and again, the more frustrated and braver.

Jin Shuiyue said to the side again, "Don't lose too badly!" ”

Jin Chenkang collapsed again. Women are not only troublesome, but also annoying. Look at Bunraku's self-seeking eyes, as well as the contemptuous eyes of his own sister, he seems to have two knives stuck in his heart.

The two of them came to the courtyard. Su Lu has been here for more than five years, and he touched the sword in his hand, which was given to him by his father when he was brought to Beiqing.

I've been with him for five years, and in the past five years, he has taken it out and wiped it every day, and it still shines brightly. When he pulled out his sword, Jin Chenkang was flashed by that light.

He looked at the sword in his hand in a daze, and said with a smile: "This time, we also bet on the sword in your hand, this time, my bet is the golden double halberd given to me by the emperor, how about it?" ”

"Haha, then you're going to lose, nerd!" Bunraku gloated on the sidelines. The sword in Brother Su Lu's hand has been coveted by this commodity for a long time. Every time he bets on that sword, he doesn't know how much he loses!

Jin Chenkang glared at her dissatisfiedly, and before he started, he poured oil on him! Su Lu nodded and said with a smile: "If you win, I will give it to you!" ”

In the past, if Jin Chenkang was so provocative, Su Lu mostly said lightly, "You can get it and talk about it", but today he met his conditions. This made Jin Chenkang even happier.

To be honest, he trusted most of what Su Lu said. But what Su Lu didn't agree to was impossible. For example, the sword he gambled on today, if Su Lu didn't promise his bet, even if he won, he wouldn't be able to take it.

But now with Su Lu's consent, he felt that he was full of energy. Wenle and Jin Shuiyue both moved to the front row of Xiao Mazha to watch. Especially Wenle, holding melon seeds in his hand, watching a good show, his face was full of excitement.

Su Lu held a long sword in his hand, and Jin Chenkang also held a halberd in his hand. This scene seems to go back to five years ago, when the snow covered the courtyard, and two small figures competed here with their bare hands.

Jin Chenkang struck first, and the halberd reached Su Lu's faΓ§ade, but Su Lu didn't move, and when the halberd was about to touch Su Lu, it suddenly turned around and rushed under his leg.

Hearing only the sound of "cymbal", Su Lu smiled and blocked it with his sword, he was already familiar with Jin Chenkang's routine. And Jin Chenkang's trick was just to let him make a move.

After all, if Su Lu stood there without moving, he would not know Su Lu's routine, and it would be difficult to predict his next move. The two of you come and go, and it's hard to separate.

Although the two of them have not been able to describe it with the words "blood and strength", they are both men, and it is inevitable that they will have the taste of competitiveness in them. One move from you, one move from me, as if they were all ruthless.

Wen Le had never seen the two of them fight so fiercely, and several times, Jin Chenkang's halberd could be stabbed into Su Lu's throat, but Su Lu was lightly blocked by his sword. There were also a few times, Su Lu's long sword pointed at Jin Chenkang's chest, Jin Chenkang's long halberd propped up the ground, and a heel flashed.

She threw down the melon seeds in her hand, stood up, and shouted next to the two: "Brother Sulu, be careful, hey, idiot, look at the sword, be careful!" ”

Su Lu was in a trance, this scene was really like five years ago, what a similar scene, but at that time, the chubby and unwitty Wenle was already much taller, and Jin Chenkang had also changed from a shy child to what he is now.

The world is unpredictable, they have been together for five years, and they can still be like a kite with a broken string, carefree, and not controlled by others, so what about after that? Their positions are different, and when they meet again, it will be a confrontation between the two armies, and it will no longer be such a child's play!

When Su Lu lost his mind, the halberd in Jin Chenkang's hand picked his sword away, pointed at his heart proudly, and said, "You lost!" ”

Su Lu turned his head to see the sword, which was picked up by Jin Chenkang and fell to the ground, he smiled slightly, the sun shone on his smile, and he shook someone's eyes: "You won!" ”

Jin Chenkang wiped the sweat from his forehead, he never thought that one day he would be able to win against Su Lu, and asked blankly, "Brother Su Lu, have you released the water?" ”

Su Lu shook his head, picked up the sword on the ground, and inserted it into the scabbard. Throwing it to Jin Chenkang, he said with a smile: "This sword has been with me for five years, it was given to me by my father, I am very precious, how can I deliberately release water?" ”

Jin Chenkang held the sword, happy, his heart was so beautiful, he forgot when he took a fancy to Su Lu's cold iron sword. Just hearing his words, he said embarrassedly: "A gentleman doesn't take people's love, I, I still don't want it!" ”

Wenle handed the two of them a towel, Su Lu took it, wiped his sweat, and smiled brightly, "What was given to you was given to you, how could you go back." ”

Wenle forgot that this was the first time he saw Su Lu smiling today, as if the last time he saw Su Lu smiling was when they left the palace, and when he came back, Su Lu still had a cold face every day.

To be honest, Su Lu still looks very good when he laughs. Bunraku couldn't help but look at it a few more times, satisfied. Jin Chenkang on the side always felt that Su Lu was a little strange today.

At the beginning, when he first met Su Lu, he was not convinced, after all, Su Lu was just a proton. But later, when they competed in martial arts, Su Lu defeated him, and he was in awe of Su Lu.

Following Su Lu all day long, he knows what kind of temper Su Lu is, and naturally knows that Su Lu is also a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. usually has a cold face, but if the truth is up, he also takes care of him.

He once mentioned this matter to his father, and his father said that there are many princes of Nanyue, but the most capable of inheriting the throne of the emperor is still this Su Lu, and you will meet in the future.

He was the enemy, he couldn't imagine it. But now he's his big brother. He is the eldest in the Jin Mansion, with four younger brothers below him and a troublesome sister.

In his heart, Su Lu is the image of an older brother, and sometimes, Su Lu will let him do some drudgery, but he doesn't tell him when there is a better way. So, as soon as something happened, he buried his head in thinking if there was any other easy way.

In the past five years, although he has been very arrogant, his mind has also become extremely meticulous. This is all due to Sulu. Sometimes, Su Lu would tell him a lot of truth.

He had seen his cold face, he had seen him frowning, but he had not seen him laughing. At this time, he and Wenle finally had a heart-to-heart connection, and Brother Su Lu laughed, which was really good-looking.

A few people who had been making a fuss for a day finally left from Ling Feng Palace. In the dead of night, the lights were on, but Ling Feng Hall was still a lonely lamp. Everything is the same as it was five years ago.

Tomorrow morning, when they came again, how would they feel about the empty Ling Feng Hall they saw? Will they remember him a year from now? Will they remember him five years from now? Ten years from now? Twenty years from now?

When we meet again, is it the same wanton fight as always, or is it a Jin Ge soldier on the battlefield? He smiled bitterly, his drooping hair blocking his eyes, but his slightly trembling shoulders betrayed him.

A tear fell on the table, and was instantly sucked dry by the rough wood, and there were no more tears for a long time, as if someone had been dazzled just now.

It's already April, and the morning is still a little cool, and the morning light is faint, shining on the morning glow in the east. Su Lu stood in this palace, looking at the sky in the distance, and a man in black fell in front of him: "Master, it's time to go!" ”

yes, it's time to go. He came back to his senses and was confronted by Beiqing's emperor Chang Tianyang, who was staring at him with sharp eyes, but he was not frightened, and arched his body forward, which was considered a salute.

The emperor personally brought the Imperial Forest Army to see him off, to be honest, over the years, Su Lu has lived in this palace, although he has lived a little differently, but since Wenle told him about the situation, his food and clothing have not been deducted.

When Su Lu left with the army, he silently turned his head to look in the direction of the palace, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. After so many years, I finally want to return to South Vietnam, and I always feel that something has been left behind in North Vietnam.

"Brother Sulu! Brother Sulu! Su Lu couldn't really hear any sounds from far and near, he thought he must be hallucinating.

But the voice was real, and he turned his head to see a small horse, a small figure, galloping towards him. He was stunned, how could she come?

Bunraku rode up to him, his face flushed. "Brother Sulu, wait for me!" Her voice was full of crying, which made Su Lu, who had already turned around and was about to leave, stopped.

The emperor just sent it to the gate of the palace and went back, but Beiqing's imperial forest army was sent all the way out of the city, and when they saw the princess at this time, they all saluted immediately, and the crowd parted a road.

Su Lu and Wen Le looked at each other from a distance, her eyes were red, as if she had cried, and seeing that the little figure was about to approach, she suddenly broke through the air and kept a long arrow, shooting straight into the horse's legs, and the horse rushed forward.

"Ahh Save me! The sudden change startled Bunraku and flew off his horse.

Su Lu rode his horse and rushed up, the speed was thunderous, and between the lightning and flint, Wenle was wrapped around his waist by a strong arm, and sat firmly in front of Su Lu.

"There are assassins!" Su Lu was the first to react, and the Imperial Forest Army and the South Vietnamese Ghost Soldier Division Secret Guard, who were kneeling on the ground, surrounded the two one after another, and the protection was not leaky.

But even so, there was still a rain of arrows coming, and Su Lu protected Wenle in his arms, and Wenle was trembling with fright. Since she was a child, she has lived in the palace, and she doesn't know the bloody wind and rain outside, and naturally she doesn't know the deception in the palace.

Su Lu pressed her head into her arms, "Wen'er, don't be afraid, I'm here!" ”

As soon as the rain of arrows stopped, I heard the sound of someone attacking, the sound of swords slashing.

Su Lu sat on the horse, covered Bunraku's eyes with his slender fingers, pulled out the sword of a guard next to him, and also fought with the people who came, although they were protected in the center, but those people were clearly coming for Su Lu.

He frowned, it seemed that there was some trouble in this. First, these people are definitely not from South Vietnam, if they are from South Vietnam, they can kill him in the Beiqing Palace; Secondly, these people are not from Beiqing, and Beiqing will not be stupid enough to do it on their own territory.

So who are these people? His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he knew who had sent these people.

Bunraku listened to the tinkling sound in her ears and clutched Su Lu's shirt tightly, and she saw through Su Lu's fingertips a long sword coming straight at him.

"Be careful!" She reflexively raised her hand to block it.

"Snap" Something shattered her wrist, Su Lu came back to her senses, and before the man could attack again, a sword was plunged into the man's heart.

Looking down at Bunraku in his arms, his voice trembling, "Are you okay?" Bunraku looked up, his eyes were hazy with tears, his lips were gray, and his body trembled unconsciously.

He jerked her hand up, the little white hand was bloody, he was stunned, anger flashed on his cold face, "Go!" ”

He took the secret guards of South Vietnam and ran into the woods on the outskirts. He didn't know if his guess was right, but now he definitely couldn't go back to the Imperial City!

There were still a lot of pursuers behind him, and a few secret guards died in the middle of the way for protecting Su Lu. He doesn't care, even if he dies, it doesn't matter, as long as the person in his arms is okay!

I don't know how long he ran, but finally no one was chasing behind him, so he slowed down, pulled out Wenle in his arms, and asked in a low voice, "Wen'er, can you still hold on?" ”

Bunraku raised his eyes and nodded. Su Lu's distress was clearly visible on his face, and he said coldly to the secret guard next to him: "Bring the golden sore medicine to this king!" ”

His voice was cold like never before, and the strangeness made Bunraku shiver. The first time she heard the words "this king" from his mouth, she finally knew that the person in front of her was no longer her brother Su Lu, she was leaving, and she was going back to Nanyue to be his prince!

"Woo......" Her tears seemed to be unstoppable.

Su Lu heard her crying louder and louder, took the medicine from the secret guard's hand, was at a loss, and asked softly: "Wen'er, are you injured somewhere, tell your brother where you hurt, okay?" Would you like to ask my brother to give you medicine? ”

Su Lu whispered, he gently turned the clothes on her arm, and his eyes were blood-red, at this time, he held back his anger and distress, and said softly, "I'll give you medicine, you can bear it if it doesn't hurt." ”

The sword pierced her arm just now, the wound must have been very large, he wiped the blood away, but saw that there was no scar on her white arm, so where did this blood come from?

He finally realized that blood was coming from her palm. Her little hand clenched tightly, and he said softly: "Wen'er, open the palm of your hand, I'll treat the wound for you, okay?" ”

Wenle cried more and more when he heard it, Su Lu was sweating profusely in a hurry, he really didn't know why she was crying.

He didn't know, but she knew exactly what she was crying about, Brother Su Lu was leaving, and the only gift he gave was cut off by the bad guy's sword. In her panic, she only grabbed half of it, but the other half didn't know where it landed.

Su Lu reached out and patted her on the back, and broke her palm with her hand, she knew what Su Lu wanted to do, she could spread out her hand, the blood-red jade bracelet, mixed with blood, exuded blood.

Su Lu frowned and picked up the jade bracelet in her hand, so it turned out that the assassin slashed on the bracelet with a sword, and it didn't hurt Wenle. What about the wound on this hand......

He squinted his eyes, and then looked at her aggrieved and sad little face, as if something hit the tip of his heart, how could there be such a stupid woman in the world? Is she reluctant to hold on to this bracelet, so she holds it tightly? So the wound on this hand was because she was holding the shard and cut it?

He pressed her to his chest and whispered, "Silly girl, why are you so stupid! ”

Su Lu bandaged her and found a safe place to stay. He sent someone to inquire about the situation in the palace, and he sat on the grass and coaxed Bunraku, who was still sobbing.

She raised her head and asked with teary eyes, "Brother Sulu, who wants to harm you?" ”

Su Lu pursed his lips, with an indescribable expression on his face, and after a while, he said, "I'm not sure either, I'll know who it is when the dark guard comes back to report the news." Are you hungry, eat something! ”

Wen Le listened to his words, and lowered his head to eat the small snack that Su Lu gave her just now. She still gave those snacks to Su Lu before, but she didn't expect him to eat them.

He touched her head, who could be such an open-minded person in Beiqing who wanted to assassinate him Su Lu, except for Chang Tiansheng, the prince of Beiqing, who was the main battle, there was no one else.

It's just that I don't know if there has been any change in the palace, if Beiqing has changed...... He looked down at Wen Le, who was immersed in eating, if Beiqing changed the sky, he would take this little girl back to Nanyue and help her recapture Beiqing.

It's just that it turns out that he really thinks too much, because Chang Tiansheng made a small wave in the public palace, and he was suppressed by Chang Tianyang in less than half a day.

Chang Tianyang knew that his baby daughter was in that war, so he had already sent someone to pick her up. When Su Lu returned to the palace with Wen Le, it was getting late, Wen Le was frightened, and he had already fallen asleep, but his little hand was still pulling Su Lu's shirt and refused to put it down.

Changle Palace was brightly lit, and the little people on the bed did not sleep peacefully. Occasionally, he would dream a few words, pulling Su Lu's clothes and refusing to let go. He reached out and touched her face, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

His voice was low, faint, seemingly inadvertent, and said very solemnly: "Wen'er, wait for me to be okay, one day, I will ride a wind-chasing horse and take you to see the beautiful scenery of the world." ”

The little man seemed to hear it, and the corners of his lips rose slightly. Su Lu gently pulled out the corner of her clothes in her hand, lowered her head and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

Goodbye, my sweet little princess.

He turned and walked away.

There were rows of secret guards standing at the gate of Changle Palace, which were the few remaining secret guards in South Vietnam. He said coldly: "Day and night, go back to South Vietnam!" ”

"Yes!" The Dark Guards were all at his command.

"Are you leaving?" Su Lu remembered a crisp voice behind him. He turned his head and saw Jin Chenkang, who was standing not far away with his sword.

"Are you leaving?" He asked again, how much he hoped he would say no, but when he heard Su Lu, he responded with a sullen "um".

Jin Chenkang's eyes were red, his father said that they would see each other in the future, if they met again in the future, wouldn't they be able to speak so calmly?

The cruelty and inhumanity of the battlefield he had seen today. The whole palace was like a bloody wash, and his father was seriously injured, and it was his good brother when he was a child who injured him, and it was the emperor's own brother who injured him.

Brothers can still turn against each other, so what about them? Will you say a word so calmly in the future?

Su Lu smiled again, Jin Chenkang is finally tomorrow now, why does he feel strange when he sees Su Lu's smile in recent days, because it is just the last beautiful look he wants to leave to everyone!

Su Lu stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "The sword that was given to you is remembered to protect our princess!" ”

With that, he left with a group of people. Only Jin Chenkang was left standing in place. He's really leaving, and the big brother who knows him best is leaving......

He held the sword in his hand tightly, and in the future, he would really protect his princess at all times as Su Lu said, so when Su Lu hurt Bunraku, he did not hesitate to use the sword until Su Lu.

Time flies like a white horse, and the beauty of the three of them is forever frozen in that year, and after that, they have never been so carefree again, and all that remains is the endless troubles, confusion and heartbreak of growing up.
