Sikong Chen recalled, and it was difficult to hide the tenderness on his old face.

"She is called Huazhu, and she has been well protected since she was a child, like a pure and flawless glass orb. She lowered her body and marched with me until we occupied Guanzhong.

"I still remember the day I killed Zhizhou and Yushi, it rained heavily in Guanzhong after three years of drought, and I hugged her and laughed wildly in the rain, and kissed her because I was happy and forgetful...... And she, did not refuse. How many lifetimes of luck does a person need to accumulate in order to be with the person who fell in love at first sight?

"Meeting her has spent, all the luck I have saved. Now, in order to bring her back from the dead, I am willing to give all the blessings of this life and the next. ”

The old man talked eloquently, and his old face was calm and calm.

He looked in the direction of Jinling City, his eyes passed through the flames of war, and he was infatuated like a promise, like staring at a lover.

Xiao Tingchen fiddled with the jade wrench, and his lowered eyelashes covered the emotions in his pupils.

He didn't know what happened later, which led to the complete destruction of the Great Sui.

I don't know why the girl named Huazhu died at a young age under Sikong Chen's protection.

I don't know why Sikong Chen was able to span three generations of dynasties and go through hundreds of years like a demon.

But......

He slowly put the jade wrench on his finger.

The emerald jade wrench fingers reflect the color of the cold jade-like skin, and there is a kind of ascetic and elegant beauty.

He raised his eyes seriously, "The love that protects each other in troubled times should be beautiful and pure." But you hurt innocent people for her, and your love has long been deformed. If the teacher is too obsessed, he will eventually kill himself. ”

"Kill yourself?"

Sikong Chen laughed out loud as if he had heard some joke.

Finally laughed enough, and the corners of his eyes flickered faintly with tears, "Xiao Tingchen, do you think the old man is afraid of death?!" The old man is not afraid of death, he is afraid that he will not meet her in the next life, and he is afraid that he will not remember her in the next life! I'm afraid that I won't have a chance to tell her in person...... I'm sorry! ”

The old man's voice was heavy and hoarse.

Tears rolled down quietly, and the old hands tightly held the armrests of the circle chair.

Because of the emotion, there were even countless micro-cracks on the sandalwood carved armrests.

The snow-white wide-sleeved Confucian robe danced without wind, and he stared at Jinling City, the emotions in his eyes were complex that Xiao Tingchen couldn't decipher.

Xiao Tingchen frowned.

What really happened back then?

Why did Sikong Chen say sorry to Huazhu?

He looked at the old man, who was a little out of control, and didn't dare to ask any further.

After all, this bad old man's love has nothing to do with him, he just needs to recuperate and wait for a counterattack.

At this time, Jinling City.

The people's homes were closed.

Su Runmo had already withdrawn from the south city gate and sat firmly behind, he asked Xiao Weihua to lead the army to resist the army of Xia Qi a little, and then pretended to be unable to defeat and fled from the city with his armor thrown away.

The army of Qi easily occupied Jinling and replaced the flag in the city tower.

Fortunately, Sikong Chen managed the army well, the army did not commit any crimes, and did not clash with the people in the city, so the casualties in this siege battle were almost negligible.

Xiao Weihua retreated with his army into an open valley, and countless camp tents were already arranged.

He stepped off his horse, limped to Su Runmo's big tent, opened the curtain and stepped in.

Su Runmo stood in front of a huge map, looking at it carefully.

Xiao Weihua glanced at it, it was a map of Jinling City, which was described in great detail, and even every street and alley was marked.

He said in a deep voice: "According to the military order of the national division, the last general led the army to deliberately defeat, and now the imperial division should enter Jinling City." It's just that the general doesn't know, what is the use of us deliberately giving up such an important city? ”

Su Runmo smiled.

He turned around and stepped into the screen, combing his hair and changing his clothes slowly, "From Liangzhou to Beiliang, and now to occupy the southern part of Qi State, we have fought countless battles in the past two years. These battles were fought for the people of the world, for the great unification, and for the construction of a stronger and more prosperous homeland. But there has never been a battle that was really fought for myself. ”

His voice was clear, and it sounded like a spring sunset.

Xiao Weihua clenched the saber, unable to comprehend the meaning of Su Runmo's words.

Su Runmo changed into an inky blue suit.

He looked at the mirror and tightened his cuffs one by one, "Tonight, you and Wu Song will firmly guard the barracks." There are some things that I have to do myself. ”

"Where is the national teacher going?"

"Jinling City."

"You're going to save the emperor? I'm with you! ”

Su Runmo lowered his head and wrapped his cuffs tightly, "It's to deal with a person." ”

They didn't tell Xiao Weihua about their plan, but Xiao Weihua was not stupid, he already felt it in his heart.

Tonight's life-and-death battle has nothing to do with the country and power.

Tonight, it's just a game between teachers and students, just a duel between betrayal and killing, he, Xiao Weihua, is just an outsider, and he has no qualifications to meddle at all.

Xiao Weihua stood in the tent and saw Su Runmo walking out from behind the screen.

The man who always likes to wear Taoist robes on weekdays is now dressed in a neat and energetic suit, stepping on cowhide boots, fading his warmth, and the sword he wears at his waist makes him feel more solemn.

Xiao Weihua has never seen such a national teacher.

He watched Su Runmo step out of the tent, and couldn't help but remind: "No matter what, the most important thing is to return safely with the emperor." The emperor taught me in the past to stay in the green mountains, and I am not afraid of running out of firewood. ”

Su Runmo turned his head, a smile on the corner of his lips, "Don't worry." ”

He rode out of the barracks, and after galloping along the mountain road, he saw a little girl holding a red foal by the side of the mountain road.

Roadside wildflowers.

The little girl had wheat-colored skin and a deep and beautiful face.

She looked up at Su Runmo, who walked in front of her, and her voice was crisp: "I want to go with you." ”

Su Runmo chuckled, "I'm going to fight, what are you going to do?" ”

Ju'er pursed her lips, "Of course it's to see you fight." ”

"Do you know how dangerous it is for us to fight?"

"Danger is good! Anyway, you and Xiao Tingchen are my enemies, if I can see you two die with my own eyes, I don't know how happy I am! Ju'er unnaturally pinned his little face to the side, "Anyway, I'm going to follow you, I have to watch you die......"

As he spoke, his voice grew quieter and quieter.

And Su Runmo's eyes are too hot.

Her head was getting lower and lower, and her fingertips were tracing the wildflowers on the roadside, as if she was weak-hearted.

The breeze blew, and Su Runmo suddenly laughed twice.

He jumped off his horse and picked a sprig of wildflowers from the side of the road.

He folded off the branches and leaves, and carefully put the wild flower hairpin on the girl's sideburns.

Ju'er was stunned.

She raised her little face a little, and the man withdrew his smile, his handsome face was cold and deep, and he looked very different from usual.
