The posture of the dragon and phoenix, the surface of the sun and the moon, the spirit rhino saw Liu Bei again, he seemed to be the posture of an emperor.

All of them are moving forward according to their own destiny, she is the only one who has experienced life and death, but in the end, in the eyes of others, she seems to have not experienced anything.

Two days before she came to Chengdu, she had heard whispers from people below, they were all guessing her identity, and they even thought that she would be Liu Bei's daughter who was separated many years ago.

They didn't know that when they were children, she had already had an inseparable connection with Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Zhuge Liang handed over the spirit rhino to Liu Bei, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but worry about Liu Bei.

These days, Liu Bei has always been unable to decide how to talk to Lingxi, how to make Lingxi agree to stay in peace. He had long been relieved, and no longer thought about plundering and possession, but Lingxi's every move still made him unable to ignore it.

As he said, the spirit rhino is the doom of his life.

And Cao Cao, how could he not be his own calamity, he actually left such a problem for himself.

"Rhino." Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang took a look at each other, and then walked towards Lingxi.

"You're here. Are you really busy? Lingxi had a stomach full of questions to ask, and now he finally met this person who had no reason to avoid it.

"It's been almost two years since I said goodbye to Hanzhong, time flies so fast, things are wrong, and I'm old again." Liu Bei entered the room and sat down by himself.

His words were steady and sad, and Lingxi listened to it, and there was no way to be anxious with him anymore.

"It's really not easy lately, second brother...... I decided to fight with Sun Quan and swore to avenge my second brother to the death, but I couldn't stand him. But do you know that they, including Kong Ming, are against me sending troops to Soochow. Liu Bei sighed and motioned for Lingxi to sit down.

Lingxi sat down beside him, didn't say anything, didn't know what to say, she looked at Liu Bei, as if she saw Cao Cao, and saw the helplessness of the kind of person who was on top.

"You stay, okay, I really don't want to see the people I care about leave one by one."

"You...... I still have two children in Yecheng, and I can't let go of His Majesty who was bullied by Cao Pi. You...... It's really him telling you about me, how is that possible? Lingxi still couldn't hold back and asked.

Liu Bei looked at Lingxi, and finally spoke. "A few months ago, I received a secret letter, and when I opened it, I found that it was Cao Cao's handwriting. I know his handwriting too well, but even I can't believe that he would tell me about you and Cao Pi. ”

"He said he didn't trust Cao Pi to treat you politely, and he knew that you would fall out with him, and he thought everything through, even where you came from."

"He wants me to take good care of you for him."

"He actually believed me, but he didn't believe Cao Pi, he actually understood me like that, and knew that I didn't mean anything to you."

Liu Bei said word by word, and Lingxi listened word by word, it turned out that he had already made plans for himself.

The corners of Lingxi's eyes were a little moist.

"Don't worry, he has already made arrangements for your child, you will stay here, no one will dare to bully you anymore, but if you go back to Cao Pi, he will use the child to blackmail you. As for Your Majesty, Cao Pi promised to send him to the fiefdom, he is now the lord of Wei, and it is impossible to go back on this matter. ”

Lingxi knew that she really only had this one chance, and if she went back, she would be afraid that it would be difficult to escape from Cao Pi in this life.

Back then, she wanted to leave more blood for Cao Cao, but she didn't expect to harm the two children and separate them from each other.

"Don't cry, I know it's very bitter, but this is the best way, you yearn for freedom, he understands, I understand."

Liu Bei stretched out his hand to wipe away Lingxi's tears, and looked at her who he had been hiding in his heart distressedly: "As long as I am in one day, I will definitely protect you." ”

"You don't want to send troops to Soochow, you don't go, if you don't go, I'll stay, okay?" After a long time, Lingxi spoke.

"Don't you want me to avenge my brother?" Liu Bei actually knew the stakes, he knew that he couldn't act in a hurry, but after all, it was his brother who lived and died together.

"Second Brother Guan and I also have a special friendship, but I am still the same as Kong Ming, persuade Your Majesty, now is not the time to ......"

A few days later, Lingxi heard that Liu Bei had adopted the advice of Kong Ming and Zhao Yun, suspended the march, and devoted himself to internal reform and stability, just waiting for the opportunity.

Slowly, she let her heart try to let go.

Liu Bei would come to visit Lingxi in his free time, and seal all his feelings, because as long as Lingxi was there, it would be enough for him.

He thought that this stability would not change too quickly, at least, but he was wrong.

One day, he received news from Zhang Fei's military camp that Zhang Fei had been killed by his generals, who had surrendered to Eastern Wu.

Zhang Fei has a straight temperament, and has always been strict with his subordinates, this time Guan Yu died, Zhang Fei was sad, he ordered his subordinates to set up a white flag and white armor to Guan Yu to hang filial piety and crusade against Eastern Wu, but the time limit he gave was too short, and he couldn't do it on military law, which made his subordinates have to rebel, and killed him while he was drunk.

Liu Bei's mood that had calmed down broke out again after learning such news.

This time, even the spirit rhino he cared about the most couldn't stop him.

……

Liu Bei captured several cities in a row, and approached Eastern Wu Jianye. However, in the second year of Zhang Wu, the battle of Yiling burned the company camp, and the strong Liu Bei's army was defeated by Lu Xun, and Liu Bei's vitality was greatly injured.

In the third year of Zhang Wu, Zhuge Liang hurried to the White Emperor City with Lingxi and Liu Bei's son Liu Chan.

Here, Liu Bei spent the last days of his life.

"Didn't you say you wanted to protect me?"

"Rhino, you have to live well."

Lingxi cried, Liu Bei said with a smile, he stretched out his trembling hand and put a delicate pebble into Lingxi's hand.

"It's a magnet that fits just above your ankle to open the clasp. I'm sorry that after all these years, I selfishly wanted you to remember me...... This magnet has always been with me, like you are still by my side. After I'm gone, you're truly free, and no one will force you to do things you don't like. ”

Lingxi was speechless, and leaned close to Liu Bei, once again feeling the pain of a fresh life about to disappear in front of her eyes.

"I don't blame you." The spirit rhinoceros choked.

"This is the second time you have taken the initiative to hug me, although the last time you were in Xuzhou, you lied to me. How can life go by so quickly......"

On April 24, Liu Bei died of illness in the White Emperor City.

At night, Lingxi sat opposite Kong Ming on the high platform of the palace.

"Lingxi, this is for you." Kong Ming took out a letter, the one written by Cao Cao to Liu Bei.

"When the lord left, he gave it to you, and he said that he didn't dare to give it to you, and he didn't dare to see you sad."

Lingxi took the letter, and as Liu Bei said, it was indeed Cao Cao's confession.

"Chong'er's death is inseparable from Cao Pi, I will not allow Cao Pi to occupy Lingxi, I am leaving, and I hope that my virtuous brother will treat Lingxi well, in the matter of Lingxi, I only believe in you, because you and I both love her and love deeply."

"He's so stupid, he's afraid that I'll be sad if I know the cause of Chong'er's death, and he doesn't know how to face me because of this, but I actually knew it a long time ago. He didn't know, and Meng De didn't know either......" Lingxi endured his sadness and smiled bitterly with Kong Ming.

"Kong Ming, I really don't have the strength, what should I do." I'm not that strong, I can't afford it on my own.

She looked at Zhuge Liang and was no longer the grace he once was, remembered Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's Northern Expedition, remembered the sentence "The sky is long, how thin is it to me", and she was very sorry: "Kong Ming, I'm sorry, I really don't want to cry anymore." ”

After that, she walked to the edge of the high platform, and her mind came to the former Xuzhou City Tower, Luoyang Palace, Prime Minister's Mansion, and the wedding night.

Kong Ming was sad, and when he looked up again, it was too late to hold the spirit rhino, he grabbed the ribbon on the hem of the spirit rhino skirt in his hand, and looked at the spirit rhino like a flower falling from a tree, getting farther and farther away from him......

The world is up and down.

In the seventh year of the early Huang dynasty, Cao Pi died at the age of forty.

The moment before he closed his eyes, he saw Lingxi and heard Cao Cao saying to him, how lonely the emperor was.

……

"Rhino, rhinoceros wake up!"

I don't know how long it took, Lingxi felt that someone was calling her, and the voice was so familiar.

She struggled to open her eyes and saw that it was none other than Cao Cao beside her.

"Huh?" Lingxi thought she was dreaming, she rubbed her eyes and saw clearly, it was indeed Cao Cao, and there were Liu Bei, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Xun Yu behind him.

"Ahh

"Lingxi, what did you say? You're a ghost yourself. Guo Jia smiled at her.
