Chapter 227 Don't Hide from Me
Lin Changtian listened to General Chu's words, his throat was sour, and his heart was extremely complicated.
Night.
Most of the barracks went to rest, only the burning brazier accompanied the patrolling guards to make some noise in the dark night, but Lin Changtian was still neatly dressed and crouched in front of the table.
He stood motionless like a statue, staring down at the decree on the shore and letting out an indescribable sigh.
Soon, he finally moved, and walked out.
Tonight, there are stars in the sky, and the whole night sky is deep and ethereal.
Lin Changtian smiled and walked towards where Chu Ruojun was.
The light is dim, and a lamp is like a bean.
Lin Changtian walked to the bed, Chu Ruojun was already asleep, his body curled up slightly, and he was just sideways in his direction, sleeping sweetly.
The familiar breath penetrated into his nose, making the man's heart and eyes can't help but soften.
He remembered the days when he was captured in the Jin Kingdom, this woman stupidly drilled into his arms, dead or alive, Lin Changtian smiled, stretched out his hand, and subconsciously wanted to touch her face, but he couldn't hold back.
He closed his eyes.
Every word of the Emperor's decree was imprinted in his mind, and he knew very well what he would encounter if he disobeyed it.
For him, he was just as relieved about this woman, afraid that she would be full of grief and anger and want revenge, afraid that she would suddenly become lonely and lose all her support, and the grandmother at home would have to rely on her.
For a long time, Lin Changtian took a deep breath in a suppressed manner, and finally took his hand back.
His face was expressionless, and although his gaze was fixed on her, it seemed to fall into some void, without the slightest focus.
I don't know how long it took, but the woman in sight suddenly blinked.
Lin Changtian realized something, and looked at it fixedly, his pupils dilated.
"Lin Changtian" Chu Ruojun spoke softly, reached out and rubbed his eyes, then sat up from the bed and looked up at him: "Did you deliberately avoid me in the past two days?" ”
The man's Adam's apple rolled a few times and did not speak.
Chu Ruojun pulled his arm, "You are very abnormal, you weren't angry like this before, did something happen?" ”
The man laughed hoarsely, "Nothing happened, you think too much." ”
Chu Ruojun stared at him, "The more you say this, the more suspicious it becomes, if you have anything to say, just say it, why hide it, you still say that I don't discuss something with you, what about you, isn't it the same." ”
Lin Changtian said in his heart: This is different.
Chu Ruojun said softly: "If you don't want to say it, forget it, but don't avoid me"
Lin Changtian suddenly felt a buzz in his head, and all the efforts and restraint in the past few days had collapsed in her words.
"I'm not hiding from you." He laughed hoarsely and reached out to rub her hair, "I've been busy with military affairs lately, so I don't have time." ”
"Are you still angry?" Chu Ruojun asked with some hesitation.
The man's dark eyes met her and said softly: "There are two kinds of people in this world, one is that it is difficult to fall in love with another person after loving one, and the other is that even if you have loved and hated, you can continue to love the next person." ”
Chu Ruojun's eyes lit up, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"I'm the first, and you're the second." Lin Changtian looked at her seriously, "Ruojun, you are the best girl in the world, worthy of all the good, but I know very well that you don't love me, you don't have to spend your life on me, you will meet someone you like again." ”
Chu Ruojun was stunned by those deep eyes, and her fingertips clenched the corners of the quilt, but she didn't know what to say.
She always felt that this man was hiding something from her, but what could make him give up?
"I will still be your brother in the future, if anyone bullies you, I will never let him go." Lin Changtian laughed hoarsely, "Take care of your injuries and go to bed early." ”
Chu Ruojun met his eyes, suddenly got up from the bed, and blocked his lips with force!
Lin Changtian's body was shocked, and he looked at Chu Ruojun in disbelief.
I only felt that the string called reason in my mind snapped and broke.
This little goblin was not honest, and his arms were around his neck, almost hanging on him.
Lin Changtian was still afraid that she would fall off the bed, and he wanted to hold her with his hand but was afraid of touching the injury on her back, so he had to not move, just catering to her.
The woman's movements were stiff, but she lit a fire in his heart that made him want to stop.
Lin Changtian seemed to feel that it was not enough, and pressed the back of his head with his palm to himself.
Looking at her flushed little face, he suddenly felt that no matter what happened, as long as they were together now.
I don't know how long it took, Lin Changtian finally stopped with a muffled snort, panting heavily.
He reached out and clasped her chin, looked at her crimson lips, and sighed softly: "Ruojun, don't regret it." ”
Chu Ruojun shook her head and hugged him hard, "I said, I don't regret it." ”
He has taken the initiative so many times, and it is his turn to take the initiative.
She pressed her head tightly to his bosom and added, "My father has always felt that I am stubborn and willful, and that I am not worthy of you, so you should not regret it." ”
Lin Changtian sighed helplessly, feeling that what he said before was completely invalid, and it was simply a waste of his previous efforts.
As long as he gets in touch with this woman, he can't calm down at all.
But when he thought of the future, he only felt a tightness in his chest, and he couldn't breathe, and after saying a few words, he turned to leave.
Chu Ruojun watched Lin Changtian's back disappear outside the door, then he blinked, and suddenly understood that maybe this would make him more difficult to let go of and make him more uncomfortable.
She pursed her lips, quietly got out of bed, and touched Lin Changtian's residence, the guards saw that it was her, and they didn't stop her, and looked away after looking at her.
Lin Changtian hadn't slept yet, and as soon as he lay down, he saw a flexible figure rushing straight to the desk, he was startled and jumped off the bed, but the woman had already seen every word on the holy decree.
She raised her head and looked at Lin Changtian in some surprise, feeling faintly uneasy in her heart.
"Kill the gold soldiers?" Chu Ruojun's tone was full of incredulity, "It's not that the soldiers are not tired of cheating, but a betrayal of the contract between the two countries, if you really do such a treacherous thing, no country will join forces with Chen Guo in the future." ”
"That's right." Lin Changtian took the holy decree from her hand, threw it aside, and said with a normal expression: "But the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and disobeying the holy decree is a capital crime of killing the head." ”
"Then you intend to"
"Disobey the Holy Decree." Lin Changtian pursed his lips, and his voice was resolute, "Even if it is death, it can't let Chen Guo fall into such a reputation, the peace that the previous emperor finally bought must not be destroyed, not to mention that the Jin people already like to slaughter the city, and they may do it again under the rage, I am afraid that there will be more than men to kill, and it is already a nightmare to have a killing general, I dare not imagine what the second one will be like." ”
Chu Ruojun closed her eyes, thinking of the scene on the day of the slaughter, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on her back.
Only those who are there will know what kind of nightmare it is, the dream will wake up, but the reality that is more terrible than the dream will not be interrupted.
How many people fell in the fire, how many people died under the cold spear, and what kind of terrible insults would the young man suffer She only felt pain in her heart, and she couldn't believe that Shen Li, who had experienced hell, would be so cold-blooded.
Or maybe it's a twist.
She remembered what Empress Dowager Shao said, because he knew that he couldn't compare to Shen Yi, so he was eager to prove himself and overturn everything Shen Yi had done.
Is this the case, so he doesn't care about the lives of the front-line soldiers?
Chu Ruojun only felt ridiculous.
She smiled bitterly, looked at Lin Changtian's eyes, and shook her head: "No, Lin Changtian, the emperor's fault should not be borne by you, and his country should not be guarded by you, it should be up to him, you help him regain power, how many times have you protected his life in times of danger, but he wants you to die." ”
Lin Changtian smiled and asked, "If you were me, what would you do?" ”
Chu Ruojun pondered for a moment, thinking extremely seriously, but she didn't dare to say her answer.
If it was her, she chose to mutiny.
She will never protect a monarch who is not worthy of protection, she will never pour her blood on cold ice, and she will never take out a pure heart and be trampled on by others.
How could a person like her, who didn't care about any gossip, take to heart such an eternal infamy as betraying the enemy and recognizing a thief as her father.
Chu Ruojun suddenly smiled, once again convinced that she was right to walk the rivers and lakes, fortunately she was not a general, if so, the righteousness of the family and the country and life and death were put together, she might choose the wrong one.
The most chilling thing is that the person you should trust the most will push you into the fire pit with their own hands.
You should have treated you with all your sincerity, but he treated you as well as the enemy, after all, no one thought that the enemy would show mercy, after all, no one thought that their relatives would fall with knives.
She suddenly understood a sentence, even if she is in a high position, even if she is deeply loved, and her appearance is unstoppable, she is actually just a lackey.
"You're not going to kill yourself." Lin Changtian knew what she was thinking, and his expression was as usual with a smile.
Chu Ruojun pursed her lips and spit out two words: "That's right." ”
"You" Lin Changtian laughed, rubbing her hair helplessly and dotingly.
"I'm going back." Chu Ruojun smiled and stood up from the front of the desk.
With that, she walked straight away.
She gritted her teeth in the night wind and said secretly: I don't want you to kill yourself!
As soon as she returned to her residence, Chu Ruojun couldn't help but fall on the bed, as if all her strength had been drained.
She looked at the flickering lights, without any expression on her face, and even the smile she showed to Lin Changtian just now still remained.
I don't know how long it took for her to feel a pain in her back, and she hurriedly turned around, to the side, her mind was troubled, and she had no sleep all night.
It wasn't until dawn that he fell asleep, but he still frowned in his dreams.
