Chapter 13: The Finale (I)

In order to escort Qin Xi to Yancheng safely, Chu Hong ordered someone to add sleeping medicine powder to her meal, although Qin Xi only ate a little, it was enough to lose her senses, and the accompanying maid poured her ecstasy soup, because Qin Xi woke up with weak limbs and had already lived in Yancheng's house.

The feng shui of this house seems to be good, Qin Xi is standing by the lake and blowing the breeze, his head is still drowsy, but his heart is as bright as a mirror. Since coming to Yancheng, Chu Hong has not shown up, and even she has felt the tension of the situation. As Concubine Yao said, he was still hesitating, hesitating whether to hand her over to Li Xuan. She underestimated Chu Hong's paranoia, and if he was not forced to the last moment, he was afraid that he would not let go easily.

The two countries had been at war for a year, and it was a miracle that Yancheng was in the middle ground, and it was as if nothing had happened. She began to think of Li Xuan again. She said that Chu Hong was stubborn, but why wasn't Li Xuan? In the pouring rain that day, she cried and begged him to leave, begged him to break off his love, and he was so persistent that he wanted to start a war to force her to see him.

She didn't know whether a relationship with Li Xuan was fortunate or unfortunate. She knew that she still loved him in her heart, and it was difficult to continue the relationship, how could she not understand this truth? She Qin Xi has been a character since she was a child, and she has recognized a person, and she refuses to turn back until she dies. She should not have loved him any more, nor would she have loved anyone else.

When the wind rises on the flat ground, it should rain. The rain hit the lake densely, stirring up several large and small ripples, but Qin Xi's body was not wet by a drop of rain, she raised her eyes to look, there was an extra paper umbrella above her head, Chu Hong stood behind her, and couldn't see her expression clearly: "The world makes people, I will be separated from you in a few hours, Qin Xi, this may be the last few hours of my life with you, I really regret meeting you so late." ”

"If I had met you when I was a teenager, you would not have been so disappointed in me, when I was in high spirits, it was really the best years."

The two looked at each other without saying a word, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and the big drops of rain fell on the umbrella, and there was a sound of mourning.

"Chu Hong, be a good emperor, go up to the sky and the people on the ground, govern this country well, and have a prosperous and prosperous world. There are people in your harem who are devoted to you, and as long as you want, you will get the sincerity you ask for. ”

"I know. But they're not you. There is only one you in this world. I've done a lot of things, and I don't want to even do this one, and I'm still reluctant. ”

Chu Hong stood with her in the rain for a long time, and in the battle with Li Xuan, no matter whether it was this battle or her, he didn't want to admit defeat. Along the way, he won many people, killed many people, and he stepped on the corpses of many people to ascend to this throne, he himself can't remember.

He suffered so much and shed so much blood to become an emperor, but when he became an emperor and became the most powerful person in this country, his heart was still so empty. Above the court, the courtiers argued, he smiled and watched without saying a word, and threw his sleeves away when he was willful. In the middle of the night, he turned his head to look at the face of the person next to the pillow, and he couldn't even call her name.

Every now and then, he thought of Qin Xi, and remembered the empathetic look she threw when he was humiliated and performed in public. He was jealous of Li Xuan, and Li Xuan was the only one, which made him taste failure again and again.

"Li Xuan's army is camped outside the gate of Yancheng, I will take you to meet him, okay?" You only love him, and you should want to see him right away. ”

He gently took Qin Xi's hand and walked towards the city gate. This house is not far from the city gate, all the way to the rain splashed on the ground wet the corners of her skirt, she was led by him step on the steps, standing on the city wall, the field of vision is very broad, looking from afar, the camp of Daqi is stationed 100 meters away, neatly aligned, the momentum is like a rainbow, Li Xuan is strict in governing the army, she has heard people talk about it.

Chu Hong pointed to the distance: "You see, in the camp tent in the center of there, Li Xuan may be strategizing, thinking about how to make me lose without a fight." Xi'er, you say, should I just admit defeat or break the axe? If I really admit defeat, I am afraid that I will spend the rest of my life unwillingly, so thinking about it, I specially prepared a big gift for Li Xuan, and it was not in vain that he and I had been an opponent for so long. ”

Qin Xi had a bad premonition in her heart, she had seen Chu Hong's almost crazy appearance.

"You must wonder why I didn't even bring a single retinue with me all the way to this wall. The geographical location of Yancheng is excellent, from the moment I entered the city, I ordered the soldiers to expel most of the people out of the city, and Li Xuan was forced to receive these people, indirectly consuming the supplies of the Qi army and shaking the morale of the army; Second, if these people have different intentions and betray me, I have a precaution. ”

"Li Xuan's life, I am going to decide." A hint of cruelty flashed in Chu Hong's eyes: "There are people who ambush me on the tower of this city, just wait for Li Xuan to approach the city gate, I will order the archers to fire ten thousand arrows at once, *shoot* kill Li Xuan, and the taste of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, Li Xuan has tasted it today." ”

Qin Xi felt a chill down her spine, she followed his words and looked to the left and right, and sure enough, she saw that the city tower was full of dense archers, everyone was ready to go, and waited solemnly, just waiting for Li Xuan to throw himself into the net. Chu Hong went crazy and unilaterally tore up the agreement to negotiate peace, if Li Xuan really died here, with Emperor Qi's toughness, I am afraid that the war between the two countries will really be protracted.

"Chu Hong, you think about it, you killed him in a fit of rage, can you bear the consequences? Can the southern country afford it? "For the emperor's selfishness, it is not worth it to make the people of the two countries suffer from the war.

"Are you worried about Li Xuan or are you worried about me? I know that you think I am too arbitrary, but I am the emperor, and with Li Xuan's talent, if I can't use it, it is better to ruin him and make him no longer able to serve Daqi. Daqi has been the overlord of the Kyushu Continent for too long, and it's time to move his seat. ”

The rain continued unabated, and the black-pressed archers stood by solemnly in the heavy rain, and the atmosphere was oppressive and solemn. Qin Xi knew that it would be useless to persuade him again: "From the moment you drove the people of Yancheng out of the city, Li Xuan saw through what you thought, you want to turn Yancheng into his place of death, with his caution, he will not leave you a chance." ”

Chu Hong smiled slightly, extremely gentle, and didn't care at all about her questioning: "It's true that if you weren't by my side, he would indeed not die on his own." ”

Qin Xi's heart sank: "What do you mean?" ”

"How does Li Xuan treat you, you know best, if I tell him that if he doesn't dare to come to Yancheng alone to pick you up, I will kill you, do you think he won't be stupid enough to enter the city alone?"

"Qin Xi, I only give him an hour, an hour is up, if he doesn't show up outside the city gate, I can only return your body to him. He can take you back to Daqi left and right, and I won't break my promise. Do you say yes or no? ”

Qin Xi said angrily: "You are crazy! ”

Now in her opinion, Chu Hong has simply become the devil of hell, he actually threatened Li Xuan with her life and forced Li Xuan to submit! How cunning and sinister! Li Xuan had already lost Lady Tilting Moon in a war, and she couldn't imagine what kind of irrational decision he would make when he had to face the loss of her again.

"He's not coming!" She shouted out loud, not knowing whether to refute Chu Hong or comfort herself.

"Whether it will come or not, we will know in an hour, and you will know if you stand here with me and wait."

She couldn't hold her breath anymore, and hurriedly looked in the direction of the Qi military camp, her eyes were full of tears, she only felt sad, and prayed over and over again in her heart that Li Xuan would not be tricked and not appear, she could no longer involve him, she was not worthy of him for her like that.

In that big camp, Li Xuan concisely explained the rest of the battle to several lieutenant generals, he took off his armor and put on an ordinary robe, his face was pale and his body was thin, and only a pair of deep eyes were surprisingly calm.

Several lieutenants in the spacious tent knelt down on one knee and pleaded loudly for the leader: "The Southern Emperor has sinister intentions and has set up such a trap, which is clearly ignoring the diplomatic relations between the two countries. ”

Several people were solemn, the Southern Emperor ordered the messenger to send a message, and he threatened the life of the princess, anyone can see that this is a trap, they have followed the general for many years, and killing the enemy on the battlefield is a fateful friendship, and they can't watch the general go to death.

"The last general knows that the general's husband and wife are deeply affectionate, but if the general loses his life, even if the princess lives alone, she will definitely be in pain, and she will feel guilty for the rest of her life, and I hope the general will think twice!"

Everyone shouted in unison: "I hope the general thinks twice!" ”

Li Xuan concentrated on writing the main points of the battle on the paper, and the back of the paper was vigorous and powerful, and when he stopped writing it, he said to the deputy generals: "It is true that I am the King of Xuan of Daqi, the general of Daqi, I have done enough for Daqi, and you can win this battle without me." You have fought side by side with me for many years and have a wealth of experience in the battlefield, so don't be presumptuous. ”

"She is my wife, I have to go this time, you don't have to persuade her again."

Everyone sighed, and some people wanted to persuade them, but they were stopped, they knew that no one could change the decision made by the general, how important was that woman in the general's heart, how could they not know? It's just that I am unwilling and hate that Nandi is ruthless.

Li Xuan walked out of the camp, the rain was light, turned into a drizzle, the cow's hair was dense, the sky was gloomy, it was not a good sign, maybe this time there was really no return, he resolutely turned over and got on the horse, and even the clothes were not approved, God had given him a lot of extra time, he was very content. He has lived coldly and coldly for many years, and meeting Qin Xi is the best time in his life, she is the only color in his life, and he lives like a flesh-and-blood person in front of her.

Even if there are thousands of troops in front of him, he will still go, he loves her, she gave him the most innocent time, he lives up to the world, the only one who loses is her.

Between the wilderness and the world, a man and a horse are lonely together, embarking on a road of no return, Qin Xi looked at the man and the horse from far and near, his thin figure became clearer and clearer, she burst into tears, and her eyes were blurred.

She remembered that when she was in King Xuan's mansion, one day she said to him with a serious look: "If I am in danger one day and the situation is extremely critical, are you willing to exchange your life for mine?" "Women are sometimes so cranky, she may have read too much of Miss Chivalry's playbooks, and she became sentimental for no reason.

Li Xuan poured a cup of tea for her, and in the tea mist, he said: "Even if there are tens of millions of people, I will go." ”

She heard it then, but she didn't believe it all. He is a genius like him, young and ambitious, and he is already under one person, how can he be willing to give up his glorious status for her? Now that the saying goes, he's really here.

Thousands of thoughts flew in her mind, and their past flashed through her mind like paintings, as if it were just yesterday. Under the peach blossom tree, next to the Bishui Lake, in the octagonal pavilion, between the streets and alleys, in the palace of King Xuan, beside the willow embankment, on the lake by boating, in the past few years, she felt as if her life was so long, Li Xuan had already carved into her blood and became a part of her body. She loved him, really loved him, loved him as much as he loved her.

Qin Xi's tears fell in Chu Hong's eyes, Chu Hong only felt heartache, and instinctively wanted to raise his hand to help her wipe her tears, but he held back, if he hadn't designed to take Li Xuan's life, maybe she wouldn't remember him in the future. It's ridiculous that he is a ninety-five respect, and he actually wants to use such a despicable means to make a woman remember him.

"Li Xuan is really an infatuated species, I only threatened him, he didn't even have a fifty percent certainty, and he dared to come over alone——"

Before he finished speaking, a cold dagger sank into his abdomen without warning, and at the other end of the dagger was Qin Xi's green hand, he never dreamed that he was as weak as Qin Xi and had the courage to kill him. He was too confident, forced her to take the soft muscles and did not watch out for her again, sure enough, the women in the world were ruthless, he treated her with all his heart, and she actually wanted to kill him in turn.

Qin Xi looked at him coldly: "I won't let you hurt him again." ”
