"Achu, do you remember the days we spent in Chang'an? From not being hungry to having enough food at every meal, every day I will ask Ah Jing to prepare more dishes you like to eat, waiting for you to taste them with me. ”

He picked up his chopsticks, reached into the plate of braised pork, picked up a piece, and put it into Chu Qiao's bowl.

"This braised pork is your favorite food."

"Your Majesty." The serving slave put down her glass and silently exited the room.

Chu Qiao was silent, picked up the wine jar on the round table, opened the sealed paper, and a fragrance wafted in, and the aroma reminded Yan Xun of the moon-like wine buried under the tree in the garden with Chu Qiao in the Yingge courtyard.

She picked up the wine jar and poured it into the glasses of the two of them, the wine was full of aroma, and it was scattered in the room, and she picked up the wine glass and smelled it, drank it all, and then poured it again, and looked up at him, her eyes reflecting his somewhat lonely and sad look.

"Ah Chu, drink less" Yan Xun looked at Chu Qiao's cold gaze, and his heart was even more lost, looking at the wine glass and drinking.

"Yan Xun, I want to discuss something with you." She looked at Yan Xun and said lightly.

"What's the matter?" Yan Xun looked at Chu Qiao with puzzled eyes.

"Now the war ahead has nothing to do with me, after the New Year, I want to retreat to the inland of Yanbei and walk around to see this strange hometown."

Hearing Chu Qiao's sudden decision, Yan Xun was very upset in his heart, and Chu Qiao, who had previously guarded the front line rather than retreat, and stayed by his side, finally made the decision to leave him.

Recalling the original battle of Hongchuan City, she single-handedly led less than 10,000 garrisons to guard the north gate of Yanbei, and fought until the last moment, just to bet that he would come back.

He took advantage of the military rectification to cut down the flag of the Xiuli Army and exclude them, while she wanted to protect the traitors of the Xiuli Army.

Qianzhang Lake booby-trapped Yu Wenyue, she completely broke her heart, one thing after another surfaced, and her heart was mixed.

And Chu Qiao, who should have been full of loneliness, exhaustion, and sadness, was now sitting indifferently in front of him, except for a little drunkenness and indifference in his eyes, he couldn't see anything else, although it was close at hand, but it seemed to be so far away from him.

"Achu, why did you suddenly bring up this matter?" Yan Xun asked with a wry smile.

"I just think that you have always intended to keep me away from the front line, away from the center of the war, away from the military power, and now I think this seems to be a good thing, after so many things, I am also tired, and now I think your previous arrangement seems to be very good." She said indifferently.

Yan Xun looked at Chu Qiao like this, as if she wanted to find something in her eyes, words, and behavior.

"Achu" Yan Xun's hoarse voice called the name softly.

She drank the wine and continued: "You know that now the Great Wei Yuwen family hates me to the core, and they can't wait to drink my blood and eat my flesh, this time they retreat inland, I am afraid that no one will protect me, and I am also more than lucky, and other people, I am not used to it, I am not familiar with it, I want to let the remaining Xiuli army in the guard station go with me to protect my safety, I hope you can agree." ”

"Beauty Army! Beauty Army! What else do you have in your eyes besides the beautiful army, what are they good about!? Betraying your own country, betraying your own army, rebels, why do you want to work so hard to defend it, do you also want to betray me? The anger that Yan Xun had been holding back erupted at this moment, the jade wine glass in his hand was pinched in his hand, cracks were everywhere, and the blood in his palm flowed down his hand.

She looked up at Yan Xun who was angry, but just looked at it indifferently. lowered his head, drank the wine in the cup, slowly got up and walked to the inner room, and said indifferently: "Yan Xun, maybe the soldiers of the Xiuli Army have made unforgivable mistakes, but they have also repented of guilt all the time in the past three years. When Chu Qiao said this, he paused for a short time, sighed lightly, and then continued to say slowly: "If, I mean if, everything they did at the beginning was hidden in other ways, can you let them leave with me." ”

Chu Qiao's continued actions to relieve Xiu Lijun made Yan Xun in anger feel that she was even more inch-inch, relying on his love for her and tolerance for her, and made him back down again and again, but he really had no way to take her.

So he said in a hoarse and low voice: "Achu, I swore to give you the best life, and I endured humiliation and burdens, and lived in front of the enemy with low eyebrows, in addition to avenging my family, more I want to create a country like Yanbei without slavery and prosperous like Daliang."

However, these beautiful futures need to be achieved with more blood, and wars in troubled times have always been cruel and bloody, and I would rather have blood on my hands than let you take half a step.

Achu, anyone can leave me, you can't! Anyone can betray me, but you can't! I don't know what I'm going to be like if I lose you. ”

Yan Xun dropped the bloody wine glass, turned around and dragged his tired steps, and slowly walked out of the door. The back is so lonely and sad.

It was late at night, and the two of them were lying on the bed, with their eyes open and their minds were troubled, and they were about to fall asleep in a daze.

The second day of the New Year

Early in the morning, the sun had just shone into the bedroom, and there was a frequent sound of Suo Suo outside the door, and Chu Qiao, who was lying on the bed, was woken up by the noise, and he didn't want to get up in the bed.

Shiso knocked on the door, stepped in, put her fresheners on the dresser, and turned her head to look into the inner room.

"Miss Chu, are you awake? Your Majesty has asked me to come in and serve you to freshen up. ”

"Well, what are you doing when it's so noisy outside?"

Chu Qiao got up from the bed, combed his loose hair, straightened his underwear, and walked towards the dressing table.

"Isn't this the New Year, Your Majesty ordered a New Year's banquet in the house, and invited the generals and local officials who followed, to have an auspicious and festive celebration, to make a good start to the new year, and specially prepared a set of gorgeous clothes for the girl, saying that you must attend." Shisu held a set of lotus pink clothes, put it on the round table and said.

"New Year's Banquet? Let me participate too. Chu Qiao looked at the clothes on the table, it seemed that the long-awaited opportunity had finally come.

"Yes, and the slave maid brought me new clothes, which look very beautiful." Zi Su picked up the new clothes and showed them in front of Chu Qiao.

"Go and get my gown." Chu Qiao looked at the lotus pink new clothes, which reminded her of the fragrant encounter with Yu Wenyue in Wupengcheng, and her face couldn't help but dye a little crimson.

"Girl, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, Your Majesty held a New Year's banquet, and made new clothes for you, you don't wear them, doesn't this make Your Majesty sad! What's more, Your Majesty also wants to see the beauty of the girl, when you wear women's clothes. Shisu reassured.

Chu Qiao didn't look at the new clothes, turned around and walked to the general clothes, and took them off.

"You're done, let's go down first."

"No, the kitchen will bring breakfast in a moment, and the girl will wait a while." After speaking, Shisu bowed and retreated.

Chu Qiao put on his clothes, tied up his scattered hair, tied it into a ponytail with a rope belt, looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and smiled lightly, today will be the beginning of the departure plan, I hope everything goes well.

She looked at the Remnant Rainbow Sword on the knife stand on the side again, and she was in a good mood just now, but she was a little depressed for a moment.

She took off the crimson sword, stroked the scabbard with her hand, pulled out the sword, picked up the handkerchief and wiped it slowly, her thoughts flowing.

Yu Wenyue, when you gave Xing'er the Remnant Rainbow Sword, did you think that this life belonged to me?

Yu Wenyue, that day in Zuo Baocang's underground tunnel, when Zuo Baocang debunked your careful thoughts, did you feel extremely embarrassed at that time, did you want to seal Zuo Baocang's mouth.

Yu Wenyue, after that unexpected encounter in the Taishou Mansion in Wupeng City, did you deliberately trick me, let me massage you, and took away my first kiss, is there a kitten scratching in your heart.

Yu Wenyue, during the period in that hot spring cabin, you said the deep words: "You have to go, you can." It doesn't matter where you were caught, cut down, or where you died, but you don't let me know, where I can't see or touch, where I can't help you, or I can't stand it. "At that time, did you want to tie me firmly to the place where you could see?

Yu Wenyue, when you found that I was missing when you returned to Xiao Ce's courtyard, Xiao Ce told you that I was gone. I suddenly appeared in front of you, the panicked look on your face suddenly relaxed, and when you walked up quickly and hugged me, did you feel like you were reborn after the catastrophe?

Yu Wenyue, and that time in the room, you suddenly turned around and kissed me, and then told me: I need you too, you can feel it. I didn't respond to you, do you feel very sad and sad.

Yu Wenyue, do you know that on the Hongchuan city wall, when I smelled the familiar smell in a trance, I knew that I couldn't help myself again, but fortunately you came, and at the most critical moment, you saved my life again.

Yu Wenyue, but how can you see and touch it, and want to keep your place, leave me, and let me live in my thoughts, guilt and remorse for you for the rest of my life.

I don't know when, tears have moistened Chu Qiao's face, silently.
