Chapter 55: Seeing the Tall Buildings Collapse
From Wu Yao's nineteen years to the present, Xiao Di has never felt that it is difficult to 'only like Pei Yaowei alone', and even, during the time when he hated her, he tried desperately to change someone to like, but no matter how hard he tried, it was fruitless.
It wasn't until this year that Xiangyu appeared.
It wasn't the first day that he found out that his thoughts about her were extraordinary, but at the beginning, he still felt that it was probably because she was born too much like Pei Yao, and he missed Pei Yaowei too much, and it was understandable that such empathy occasionally happened, making him in a trance and giving him delusions.
At that time, he was still confident that he could distinguish between these two people, and he could also get along with each other well, but things developed little by little to this day, and he realized how simple he was.
Last night was his birthday, and it was also Pei Yao's taboo. He sat in the maple forest, looked at her favorite Danfeng, drank wine for her, and gave her remembrance, and at this time, Xiang Yu appeared.
For a moment, he mistook Xiang Yu for Pei Yao.
For a moment, he obviously came back to his senses and understood that she was not Pei Yaowei, but he still thought despicably, otherwise, he would treat Xiangyu as her.
Even, I don't need to tell her that in the long life in the future, I only need to love her - love her as Pei Yaowei, promise her a lifetime of glory and comfort, and be a loving couple with her for a lifetime, as long as you don't tell her the truth, why can't you?
For a moment, he had already finished the second half of his life with 'Pei Yaowei' in his mind.
If it weren't for Wei Chaoyang coming with the court's urgency, he didn't know what he would do and how far he would hurt the person in front of him.
The wine was gone, and the rationality returned, he hated himself for being inattentive and despicable, and he felt from the bottom of his heart that what he was thinking at that moment was not only sorry for Pei Yao, but also sorry for each other.
"I just want to like her alone." He said, "You also deserve a man who loves you wholeheartedly." β
"Don't talk about it......"
Pei Yao lowered her head in pain, in order to hide her wonderful face. After listening to him for a long time, she was red from her neck up. Shocked, confused, and a little embarrassed, she couldn't help but start to 'hate' Xiao Di-
Why do you have to say these things to yourself at this time? After you finished speaking, your heart was steady, and you turned to go to the battlefield, what should I do? With this mixed feelings, scratching your heart and scratching your liver alone in the house?
Xiao Di only became angry when she was silent, and when she spoke again, she became more and more apologetic: "I'm sorry, I overestimated myself." It's all my fault that you're involved in such an embarrassing situation now. After a pause, he said, "So I have to change." β
"How do you change it?" Pei Yaowei raised her head suddenly, and asked in a daze, "Do you want to divorce me?" β
He shook his head.
"I was going to say these things to you when I came back, but I was afraid to take them to the battlefield...... It is also useless in war. In addition, now that you know what kind of virtue I am, you will be able to avoid the trouble of worrying about me day and night. β
Oh, she sneered in her heart, you think so beautifully.
He continued: "I will not give a wife. Marrying you is already the most damaging thing to your reputation, and I will not humiliate you and the Xiang family like this. But when I came back, the two of us could no longer live under the same roof and see each other day and night. β
"When I'm away, think about what you want, and when I come back, I'll do my best to fulfill you."
"Take care, each other."
With that, he gave her a deep look and turned away.
This time, he's really gone.
All right. As his back disappeared, she thought: When you come back, I still have something to ask you, something I want to tell you.
Chengyang Palace, Shangrou Palace.
Pan Ruohui leaned on the bed, in front of her was a small case with pen and ink, she supported her lazy and heavy body, laboriously wrote a letter, and when she was stuffing it into the envelope, Cui Xuan hurriedly came in.
"Niangniang, the Dark Guard Division just delivered the news and came in, the letter you sent to the Tong clan a few days ago has been intercepted by the people of Guan County!"
"Heh, the timing ......is just right" Pan Ruohui smiled coldly, carefully sealed the envelope, and handed it to Cui Xuan, "Send this letter to the head of the Tong family." Remember to be fast. β
"Yes!"
Cui Xuan received the order and came and went in a hurry. Yan Wei watched her leave with worried eyes, came in and took away the small case in front of Pan Ruohui, frowned and persuaded: "Niangniang has not been in good spirits for the past two days, and she has been busy all the time, lie down and rest!" β
Pan Ruohui's face was not good, with his head in one hand and his stomach in the other, the sorrow between his eyebrows was like a dark cloud, which was difficult to disperse for a long time.
"That's it," she said, "I can't sleep, it's been a few days, and when I give birth to this child, I'll be fine." β
Rou Wei was relieved: "Your delivery date is just these two days, the imperial doctor and the midwife are already waiting there, everything will be safe and smooth." β
Pan Ruohui smiled inadvertently, his eyes straightened, and he nodded numbly, "I hope so......"
North of Wing River, Fallen Kurabara.
When Xiao Di set off from Beijing and hurried to the north tent of Qinli, it was already four days later.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu." Qin Libei came out of the tent to greet him, and when he saw him, his face was not ugly, but it was definitely not good-looking, "It's been a long time." β
Xiao Di bowed his head and also called: "General Qin." β
Qin Libei met Sun Zhifang again, and then led everyone into the tent to speak.
"General Chen Bing faced the rebels across the river for several days, but he did not move his troops for a long time...... I don't know if I already have a clever plan to destroy the rebels without bloodshed? β
As soon as he entered the tent, Xiao Di went straight to the scene with a single knife, and without the slightest greeting, he asked about the military situation on the front line. His words were polite, but the tone of this rhetorical question made Qin Libei hear sarcasm and accusations
"Your Highness, do you know how many people are on the other side?" As he spoke, Qin Libei suddenly became in a trance, and slapped his head, "Hmm...... Look at my memory, the military power of the 100,000-strong army of Yongchuan is not exactly what His Royal Highness Yucheng gave to the Pan family! β
Xiao Di lowered his eyes and smiled, calmly accepted the embarrassment he gave, and then said: "The Pan clan dares to rebel, and one of the biggest reliance is that the Tao Tong clan and the Yongchuan army will form a line and take the southern capital directly. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Sun Zhifang: "When I left Beijing, I heard that Your Majesty has a way to deal with the Tao Miao Tong clan, Sun Gonggong, I don't know what the current situation is?" β
Sun Zhi smiled, waved at each of them, and said: "Your Highness, the general, please rest assured, the old slave has received news from Beijing a moment ago, Tong's side, everything is going well, please rest assured." β
Xiao Di smiled and looked really relieved, but Qin Libei on the side frowned.
He took advantage of his gaze to look at Xiao Di for a long time, and suddenly said, "I was about to go to the camp to inspect, would Your Highness be willing to go with me?" β
Xiao Di raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
He said: "Battles always have to be fought, and if Your Highness wants to lead the troops, you must first familiarize yourself with the soldiers under you?" β
Xiao Di nodded approvingly, made a gesture, and asked him to lead the way. Qin Libei arranged for his subordinates to help Sun Jianjun settle down, and he went out of the big tent with His Royal Highness the King of Chu.
"Do you really think that Tong is a confidant?" Walking in the tent camp, Qin Libei held a sword in one hand, his eyebrows were heavy, "You and I both know that the real reliance of the Pan clan is the Yuanyan Kui clan with whom they are the inside and outside. As far as I know, the people sent by the emperor to Fanjing to deliver the letter have been gone for a long time, but the Zhou State has not taken action against the Kui family. β
As he spoke, he walked steadily, turned around and looked at Xiao Di seriously: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, please tell me that you have other plans." β
Xiao Di looked south.
"Since it's useless to tell Princess Zhen'an, it's better to talk about it with someone else." He smiled faintly, retracted his gaze, and looked at Qin Libei: "What does the general think?" β
"For whom?"
Xiao Di looked to the south again.
He said: "Whoever takes the Kui family as the confidence will be replaced." β
Half a month later, the sound of smashing things first sounded in the Pan camp, followed by the roar of Pan Shizi.
"Bastard ββ!"
"The son of the world is angry!" Chen Xun looked at Pan Quan, whose eyes were red, and knelt down to persuade him: "Now is not the time to settle accounts with Zhou Guo, we have to think about it, without the Kui family, this battle will ...... later."
His voice became smaller and smaller, and in contrast, the expression on his face became more and more panicked. He wanted to persuade Pan to cheer up, but halfway through his words, he was already out of words.
A few days ago, the spies of the Pan clan lurking on the border of the Zhou State reported that they were the head of the Kui family and secretly had dealings with Princess Zhen'an. Although this news can't prove anything, it is enough to make Pan Shizi, who was not very comfortable with his father's alliance with the Kui family, take his heart to it, and after a few days of sending additional people to secretly investigate, just a moment ago, the evidence that can prove that the Kui family has no intention of opposing Zhou at all has been sent to Pan Quan.
Chen Xun has been by his side for so many years, and for the first time, he has experienced that there is nothing to say.
"Heh, isn't it the time to settle accounts with Zhou Guo?" Pan Quan violently pushed down the bookcase in front of him and shouted: "How can I, Pan, still have the ability to settle accounts with her Yuwen Zhijun!" I-Iββ! β
The fire attacked his heart, and his feet were weak, his eyes were black, and his body shook and he was about to fall backwardsβ
"Shizi!" Chen Xun strode forward and supported him in time.
Pan Cheng held him with one hand, and he pressed so hard that his knuckles turned white. He closed his eyes with a bitter look on his face, relieved himself fiercely, and then pushed Chen Xun away again.
Chen Xun was worried about him, and his already frightened face became worse and worse.
After a while, Pan Cheng suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Chen Xun's collar, his eyes were red, and he said forbearantly: "Chen Xun, Kui's - Kui's and Yongchuan's army, my Pan's dare to raise this anti-flag!" Can anyone come and tell me what else I can do to fight the Shaw at the moment! β
Even if it was before the Pan family raised the flag, let him know the true face of the Kui family?
Now, the arrow is off the string, and it's too late.
"Defeat the king, defeat the kingββ!"
He knew that this victory or defeat was unpredictable, but he never imagined that this victory or defeat would come so quickly.
