Chapter 3: Moon, Are You Still Alive?

After kneeling, Shen Yanyu gently wiped the tombstone in front of him with his sleeve, as if he was rubbing some treasure. After the tombstone was wiped as if it was new, Shen Yanyu straightened his clothes and knelt in front of the tombstone. Shen Yanyu looked at the word "Moon Yin" on the tombstone with gentle eyes, and said softly:

"Back to the mountain and facing the river, the gentian flower is the quilt, the fragrant jade tree is the shed, and the four seasons are distinct. Yueyin, this place really meets your requirements. I think at the beginning, you once said: When we complete our big things, we must find such a place to live, plant a few green vegetables, and raise a few chickens. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Yanyu suddenly lowered his head, his fists clenched and eased his breath. After a while, Shen Yanyu continued in a low voice: "I never thought that our big matter has not yet been completed, but you first found such a place to live for a long time——! At first—that day, under the waterfall that circled the palace, I didn't—I didn't—I didn't find your body. I thought you'd be lucky to survive like you were before. But in the end, you still lie here and hide from Qingjing. ”

"It's ridiculous that I still have the hope that you are still alive in this world, and I have been waiting for you for three months. I-"

At this point, Shen Yanyu closed his eyes, but the trembling body, the clenched lips, and the tears in the corners of his eyes all showed his heartache at this time. After trying to calm down for a while, Shen Yanyu opened his eyes and smiled bitterly. Then, he knelt down and sat down, and pulled out a tattered wine bag from his waist. Groping for this wine bag that has been following him for many years, Shen Yanyu's eyes appeared in front of the scene of Yueyin giving him a wine bag.

------------------------------------------------------------- Dividing Line-------------------------------------------------------

That was what happened at the Dragon Boat Festival five or six years ago. At that time, Shen Yanyu was still the youngest son of General Zhenxi of Ji Yu Kingdom, and he took his elder to Xiajin Mansion, a key town in the southwest of Ji Yu Kingdom, to buy some exotic novelties to give to his aunt. In the West Market of Xiajin Mansion, Shen Yanyu once again met Yueyin, who was only fifteen years old at the time. At that time, Tsukiyin was wandering around the West Market of Natsu Mansion with her guards. Because of her illness, Yueyin is very slender, thin, and looks indistinguishable between male and female, looking like a twelve or thirteen-year-old rich boy with an innocent faction. However, Shen Yanyu was not confused by Yueyin's appearance. After all, he and his father had already seen Tsukiyin's wit, courage and decisiveness.

Since the last time they met, Shen Yanyu has been regretting that she couldn't exchange names with Yueyin. After seeing Yueyin this time, Shen Yanyu immediately changed her original intention of buying gifts for her aunt, and followed Yueyin's master and servant all the way. After seeing that Yueyin had fallen in love with this wine bag from the Western Regions, Shen Yanyu stepped forward and intervened horizontally, putting on a posture of wanting to grab this wine bag with Yueyin. The two argued, so they raised each other's prices. When the price of the wine bag doubled four times, Yueyin checked her money bag, and the whole person looked puffed. Shen Yanyu originally wanted to tease this little boy who was very childish on the outside but very mature and cunning on the inside, but when he saw Yueyin like a frustrated little lion who had defeated a fight, Shen Yanyu was a little unbearable, so he had the heart to give the wine bag to Yueyin.

Which Cheng thought, Yueyin was much more broad-minded than Shen Yanyu thought, and in a blink of an eye, he not only gave Shen Yanyu the wine bag he bought, but also invited Shen Yanyu to go to the Cang'er River to watch the dragon boat together. At that moment, Shen Yanyu decided to hand over this "little friend" who was much younger than himself no matter what.

---------------------------------------------------------- dividing line------------------------------------------------------------

This wine bag was given to him by Yueyin at that time, although the appearance was not as gorgeous as the wine bag he got later, but the affection carried during this period made Shen Yanyu unable to give it up. Pulling out the cork, Shen Yanyu raised his head and drank a sip of bitter wine: "Yueyin, people--after that, can you still hear what the living say?" ”

After Shen Yanyu finished speaking, it happened to be a breeze blowing across the earth. The gust of wind also swept across Shen Yanyu's cheeks, slightly smoothing out his messy hair.

"I knew you could hear me."

Shen Yanyu firmly believed that the breeze just now was Yueyin's answer to her question. The whole person is like a child who has been encouraged, and his face is full of joy.

"I'm so embarrassed, I hope you will be considerate. I was in a hurry to see you, and I rode the horse for more than ten days in a row, but I barely arrived today, so I still have to care about what to dress and behave. It must have made you laugh. But, then again, I have to thank you for that. When I look back and go to see my father with this ghost, I will definitely be able to show my heartfelt and filial piety as soon as I want to dedicate the jade seal to his old man as soon as possible! ”

As soon as Shen Yanyu mentioned his father, his interest fell again.

"Yueyin, I have found that in the past three months, my father—oh, I should have been called Father Emperor now, but I am not used to it—Father Emperor has changed. Perhaps, as you said at the beginning, let me not trust my father too much, he was originally the person he is now, but he didn't have the opportunity to show his true face to the world earlier. What should I do if everything is fulfilled for you? ”

After pouring another sip of bitter wine, Shen Yanyu shook his head. "Look at me, it's all at this time, and it's so boring to say that there are some and no ones. Today's everything is caused by my failure to listen to your advice in the past, and I should face and solve it myself. You don't have to worry about these things over there. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Yanyu held the wine sac and poured a breath of alcohol on his head, until he choked and coughed due to poor breathing. The collar was wet from the alcohol that had accidentally spilled out. After wiping the corners of his mouth with his already dirty sleeves, Shen Yanyu looked at the tombstone with a somewhat confused look.

"Yueyin, there's one more thing I want to ask you - do you regret it? Regret meeting me, regretting supporting me – or regretting falling in love with me? ”

Shen Yanyu looked forward to enjoying the breezy reply as before. But the heavens are not beautiful, and long after he asked the question, there was no celestial phenomenon that could be imagined to be answered. In the end, Shen Yanyu no longer had expectations, just quietly looked into the distance.

"You and I are destined to be born as princesses of one country and sons of generals of another. After five years of acquaintance and acquaintance, in the end, they are still no match for the hatred of the country and the family. You and I are separated by yin and yang, and we are all born because of our identity. I killed your imperial brother, but it was really a helpless move for Ji Yu to unify the continent. You know that it is a trend for Ji Yu to dominate the world, but you can't let go of the hatred of killing your relatives, so that - in front of me - in front of me... We are destined to miss in this life, and in the next life, I will definitely take you to my side as soon as possible and love you with my heart. In the next life, I hope you can give me a-"

"Your Highness. Your Highness! Your Highness, there is a team of people approaching, the situation of the enemy is unknown, this is a place where the rebels are haunted, in order to ensure the safety of His Highness, please leave quickly! ”

Just as Shen Yanyu and Yueyin were talking about their wishes for the next life, Changlai hurriedly ran over from afar and interrupted Shen Yanyu's words with a loud voice. Although Shen Yanyu's speech was interrupted, the whole person was a little dazed, and after hearing the long invitation, he didn't react at all.

"Your Highness, Your Highness?" After calling for a long time, seeing that Shen Yanyu still had no reaction, he had no choice but to sue for a crime and bent down to carry Shen Yanyu up. After meeting with the rest of the guards, Changlai first helped Shen Yanyu to sit on the horse. When he saw Shen Yanyu crumbling, Changlai gritted his back teeth, turned over and sat behind Shen Yanyu, and then commanded his pair of men and horses to retreat in the direction they came.

Chang Lai and his men are already very alert, how can they be weak, and the exploration work that can be done is limited after all. When Changlai's spies returned, Shen Yanyu and his party had been surrounded by the "circumferential rebels" in Changlai's mouth in the distance. Before he could run out of the three-mile road with Shen Yanyu, he was blocked by the enemy. Not long after the long time to restrain the horse, the enemy also appeared in the rear and on both sides.

In the face of the front and rear attacks, left and right sieges, the guards brought by Changlai automatically guarded Changlai and Shen Yanyu in the center, and one by one they pointed outward, posing as if they were at home. A fierce battle was about to break out, and a gap suddenly opened in the ranks of the enemies surrounding them, and a man in black rode a white horse and slowly came out. When I saw someone coming, I was really shocked for a long time.

This person is none other than Princess Yueyin's personal bodyguard, Yu Ning. Legend has it that this man is like a ghost, and he is extremely fast. Exploring the enemy camp at night and taking people's heads, as if entering a no-man's land. Although he has known Youning for many years, he has never had the opportunity to see Youning's true ability, and when he competes with Youning, even if he tries his best, he is suppressed and cannot escape, so Changlai is very jealous of Youning. When I met You Ning today, I couldn't help but curse in my heart, "Thief God!" ”

As if seeing through Changlai's thoughts, Yu Ning said: "Changlai, today is only for Yueyin's revenge." Thinking that you and I have cherished each other for several years, leaving the people in front of you, I can spare the lives of you and your subordinates. ”

The cold but not sharp voice, with its unique magic, spread from Yu Ning's side. After hearing Yu Ning's words, the people present were so frightened by the murderous aura in the words that they trembled one after another. However, Chang Lai and his subordinates were the most loyal to Shen Yanyu, and although they heard You Ning's demagogic words, they did not show any wavering. Yu Ning also knew that his words could not shake Nagalai and his men. After seeing that there was no surrender on the Changlai side, he raised his hand and signaled to the "rebels around the circle" on all sides. At the moment when Youning let go, the rebels from all directions instantly swarmed up and pounced on these people.

Although they do not have sophisticated weapons or supernatural skills, they are superior to the number of people and ferocity. Under the tactics of the sea of people, the group will eventually be defeated. He also knew this for a long time, so he led his men to try to gather all their forces to break through in one direction.

Thirty highly trained Deadpools, surrounded by nearly 1,000 people, disregarded their personal safety, only hoping to briefly break through the enemy's encirclement so that Shen Yanyu could be sent back to the capital. Needless to say, you can feel the tragedy in this scene. Just as they were about to succeed, Youning, who had been sitting on the horse, suddenly rode his horse and galloped. Under a few vertical and horizontal shut-ups, Youning easily crossed in front of Changlai, who was protruding from the encirclement.

"In the long run, I want to take his life for Yue'er, you can't stop it."

After You Ning finished speaking, the whole person flew out of his white horse like a sword out of the sheath. The swift figure makes it difficult to capture with the naked eye. Chang Lai had to subconsciously swing his sword and dance a few times in the air. After the depression of death passed, he saw that Yu Ning had sat back on his white horse, and Shen Yanyu seemed to have fallen to the ground.

After Shen Yanyu fell off the horse, he wanted to reach out to fish, but he reacted half a beat slower and failed to catch Shen Yanyu. After hearing that Shen Yanyu vomited after landing on the ground, he came to see that his Royal Highness could still vomit, thinking that Shen Yanyu was not hit by Youning, so he kept sitting on the horse to guard against Youning's second wave of attacks, and did not dare to turn over and dismount. It wasn't until Youning rode a horse dozens of steps away that he dared to look down at His Highness for a long time. It doesn't matter if you look at it, Your Royal Highness is holding her chest and spitting out a mouthful of blood with a "wow", and then falls backwards. Chang Lai knew that it was bad, so he quickly turned over and dismounted and quickly checked Shen Yanyu's injuries.

At this time, Yu Ning, who had already walked out, quietly turned his head to look in the direction of Shen Yanyu after hearing Changlai's exclamation. Coincidentally, Shen Yanyu, who had some blurred vision due to excessive blood loss, happened to collide with You Ning's line of sight. Shen Yanyu was frightened by the killing intent in You Ning's cold eyes, and he woke up for a short time.

After Shen Yanyu looked at You Ning, he instantly recognized Yu Ning's face. Three months ago, this face was still in and out with the same month. As long as there is a moon moaning, there must be this face within three feet. He had lamented Youning's company for Yueyin countless times, and sometimes he would even be jealous of Youning. With such a face, Shen Yanyu would never admit his mistake. Seeing You Ning Fu turn around and leave again, a crazy look appeared on Shen Yanyu's face, he wanted to stop You Ning, he still had a lot to ask You Ning. Shen Yanyu, who had lost too much blood, no longer had the strength to shout, and even if he could say it, he was now drowned in the exclamations of the guards beside him.

Desperately trying his last strength, Shen Yanyu raised his right hand with difficulty, as if he wanted to grab the corner of the clothes of the distant figure. However, he didn't get his wish, and Yunin eventually disappeared from his vision. At the moment when he closed his eyes, Shen Yanyu still asked in his heart: "You Ning, is she still alive?" ”
