When entering Shouchun, there was Su Tian's token in hand, and the two of them went all the way unimpeded.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, he could no longer ride a horse, and Mo Yu was first pulled by the palace maid to change into a light green dark coat before he could go to Fengyuan Palace. She couldn't wait for a long time, and she couldn't wait to see Su Tian. She wanted to tell him that she missed him so much, and every night outside, she counted the stars and missed him.

At first, she was able to move with small steps, walking decently. The closer she got to the Chengyuan Palace, the more anxious she became, and finally threw off the palace maid who led the way, and trotted all the way into the Chengyuan Palace.

Su Tian sat quietly at the table as she did before she left, still holding a book in her hand. In my memory, he has been like this for the past few years, clean and neat purple clothes, unhurried and unhurried, he has never been angry about anything, and he never seems to be in a hurry.

Seeing Mo Yu coming in, Su Tian smiled kindly like a spring breeze: "Mo Yu." ”

Two words were enough, and Mo Yu ran in quickly, plunged into his arms, and squeezed the stove and books on his table into a mess. Leaning on his chest, Mo Yu breathed rapidly, and if he thought about it on the way, he couldn't say a word, only four words left: "I'm back." ”

"Mo Yu, it's so urgent every time." Su Tian didn't ask her about her experience these days, rubbed her hair, pressed her to her chest with open arms, and hugged her tightly.

Han Chong coughed uncomfortably at the door: "Su Tian Gongzi, Han Chong is worthy of his mission." He knelt down on one knee in front of the door and placed Su Tian's token on the ground in front of the door.

"You told him to bring me back?" Mo Yu raised his face and asked Su Tian, without waiting for him to answer, he leaned on him again, "I knew it was you, you wouldn't want me." Forever and ever, you can't do without me. ”

"Well, I won't want you." Su replied in response to her words. He didn't know how long it would take to be forever, but his time was really limited. His gaze crossed the top of Mo Yu's head and fell on Han Chong, if one day he could no longer accompany Mo Yu and light her at night, who should he give Mo Yu to?

The civil strife in the Chu State did not last long, and the garrison of Hangu Pass was rushed by a flock of sheep, and the trip was a full day late. By the time Yan Xing rushed to Windy City with his people, the battle had already ended, and the men and horses of Lingxiao Pass had defeated Ping'anjun's men without any suspense.

In fact, Guo Shan and Ping'an Jun are about the same level, not as good as a generation of famous generals like Huang Qi, but they are still better than ordinary people who do nothing. The difference is that the garrison of Lingxiao Pass has been harassed by the Qin army for many years, with a small battle in three days and a big battle in five days, and its actual combat ability is much stronger than the soldiers brought by Ping An Jun.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Yan Xing took advantage of the situation to change his words, saying that he also brought troops to King Qin, but he was delayed on the road. Whether his words are true or false, the officials of the DPRK and China all know in their hearts. Yan Xing was also a little clever, and then said that he had been on the border for many years, and he was injured, and he really couldn't continue to lead the troops, so he asked to go home to recuperate and completely hand over the military power. To retreat as advance, at least to save his life.

This is not a weak army, and it has become a question of who should hand over the military power to. Su Tian's favorite candidate was originally Han Chong. Han Chong is a coarse and fine person, following Huang Qi, he has a lot of practical experience, and he has a relationship with Mo Yu, and his character is completely reliable.

This proposal was strongly opposed by the important ministers of the court, and his humble background and insolence became an excuse for others to attack Han Chong.

While the two sides were arguing, several assassinations took place in the palace. No important people were injured, but several palace maids and eunuchs died. The assassins were extremely fast, and each of the dead was choked with a sword. The incident inevitably caused panic in the people, and it happened that a few nights when the accident happened, it happened to be Han Chong's turn to inspect, and it was a serious dereliction of duty for such a thing to happen. At this time, Su Qian could no longer insist that Han Chong take over the military power.

After thinking about it, he put Yu Chu's name on the final edict. Although Yu Chu has no experience in leading troops, he has some insight when it comes to the art of war, and he has handled affairs very carefully recently, and he has not made any mistakes. Either way, at least solve the problem at hand.

To Su Tian's surprise, the implementation of this candidate was extremely smooth, and even Lou Zhao nodded in agreement, and even praised Yu Chu for his great general's demeanor.

Somehow, Mo Yu always felt uneasy about this matter. She had seen Yu Chu when he was unwilling in the past, when he looked like an ordinary peasant family, he was said to have been arrested when he went to be a soldier, and he was obedient to Qingzhu, and almost all the neighbors had seen him being scolded by Qingzhu. How could such a person have so many tactics in his heart?

Or should it be the other way around, how could a person so brave and resourceful behave like such a wretch? Maybe there is only one possibility, and that look is also pretended at all.

She also told Su to listen to this doubt, and Su Tian just touched the top of her head: "There is no other more suitable candidate now, at least this person, I can be sure that he will not collaborate with the enemy, and that is enough." ”

"Ink rumors," Su sighed, "you have to learn to compromise, not everything can have a satisfactory outcome for you, if you can't get the most perfect, you have to learn to accept imperfection, you know?" ”

"Know, know," Murmur grimaced at him, "don't educate me." ”

Su Qian smiled helplessly, he was afraid that he would not be able to teach everything he knew to Mo Yu. He put Mo Yu back on the bed and pulled the quilt for her: "Then rest early, you have to sleep more, your old injuries will heal faster." ”

He took out a small rectangular box and brought it to Mo Yu. Mo Yu cheered: "For me?" That's great! It seems like you're giving me a formal gift for the first time. ”

"It's not a gift, it's something for you." Su Tian opened the box, and there was a short sword lying quietly inside, the blade of which was extremely sharp. Mo Yu took it in his hand in amazement, and tried it on the wooden pillar at the head of the bed, leaving a deep mark with a slight stroke.

"That's a good thing," she smiled, her eyes narrowed, "I don't care, I'll just take it as a gift from you." I'm so happy that you've finally given me a gift. She rubbed into Su's arms, her soft hair dangling under the tip of his nose.

Suddenly, Mo Yu remembered something, sat up and stared at Su Tian: "Didn't you say that to cast such a good sword, you have to use a living sacrifice sword to forge it?" This sword...... Didn't use the living, did you? "A sword made of a living person is so terrifying, she doesn't want to carry such a terrible thing on her body every day.

Su Tian couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, no." Nails and hair are the essence of a person's body, and the same is true of sacrificing a sword with these parts. ”

He raised his hand to touch Mo Yu's hair, but the palm of his hand was suddenly grabbed by Mo Yu. On the slender right hand, the nails were uprooted, revealing the bare fingers.

Mo Yu's eyes were hot, and tears hit the tips of his fingers: "You...... Did you give this sword to the furnace? ”

"No ......" Su tried to withdraw his hand, but she grabbed it tightly, and the heat on his fingers unnerved him, "Okay, it's me." You know I'm not used to forcing people, just nails, and they will grow back soon......"

Mo Yu couldn't listen to a word, she pulled up Su Tian's left hand, and the five fingers on it also had no nails. No wonder Su Tian didn't write these days...... Ten fingers are connected to the heart, and you have to be ruthless to pull out the nails on the ten fingers alive.

"Why...... To ...... like this" Mo Yu didn't want to cry, she wanted to happily receive the gift, this was the first gift Su poured to her, but the tears just couldn't stop.

Warm tears fell on the palms of his hands, rolling slowly along his fingerprints. Su Tian's heart trembled slightly, and a violent cough rushed out of his mouth. He wanted to forge a good sword for Mo Yu, and when he had to leave her alone in this vast and chaotic world, at least he would have this sword to accompany her. When he can't go against the destiny of heaven and has to leave, part of him can still accompany her in another way.

"Mo Yu, don't cry," he wiped away her tears with his bare fingers, "this is a gift, shouldn't you be happy to receive it?" If you do this, I will be very frustrated and make me feel that you don't like my gift. ”

"I ......" Mo Yu's words were interrupted by the palace maid who suddenly broke in.

The palace maid said breathlessly: "Big, great...... Urgent military intelligence, just delivered. ”
