Chapter 2: The Moon is Quiet

"On the road to the capital tomorrow, I will have to step on layers of snow again. Su Mi turned his head and looked in the direction of the capital, from here, he only saw a dark and heavy sky, but wasn't the city wall of the capital also the same color?

I don't know if the Great Qi Jingshi, who has experienced a lot of blood and fire torture, is still as graceful and elegant as in the past?

"Winter is coming, the weather is a lot colder," Ni Tingxuan smiled and said, "You stand like this, be careful of typhoid fever." ”

Such considerate and ordinary words were no longer natural during that time on the prairie of Liao, but seeing that they were about to arrive in the capital, the two became alienated.

The closer they get to the capital, the more distant the distance between the two seems to become.

Ni Tingxuan felt an inexplicable anxiety, but he couldn't find a way to break this status quo, and the most painful thing for him was that he couldn't even find a reason to act.

"I'm not so sick anymore. Su Mi said. Although Ni Tingxuan has always taken good care of her, the hardships and tribulations on the battlefield are definitely not comparable to the comfortable and rich life in the palace, and it is not imaginable for the warm and happy days in the mountains and forests.

After such a long time, I didn't even feel how hard it was. Recalling, the hard work on the grassland is like a dream, bittersweet and bitter. Mixed tastes.

Thinking of that busy time, the corners of Su Mi's mouth unconsciously raised a faint smile.

The moonlight reflected by the snow light was extremely cold, but this sudden smile made the originally cold eyes like ice and snow have a more gentle and restrained feeling, and even the moonlight became softer.

Ni Tingxuan looked at the woman in front of him, unable to take his eyes off, she seemed to be much thinner, he once thought that life on the battlefield was not suitable for her after all. But she survived stronger than anyone else. Now that I think about it, maybe the days of being trapped in the palace have wronged her.

Su Mi was also looking at him. For more than a year, the two got along almost day and night, facing each other all the time, but perhaps because they were too close and too familiar, Su Mi never paid attention to his face. He had lost a lot of weight than he had ever seen him for the first time. The taciturn commander of the guard was gone, and his face had the profundity and sharpness of a man who had been tested by the fire, and a kind of maturity and restraint that was commanding.

It turned out that they had all changed, and all of them were slowly changing in this war that swept the whole world and wiped out countless cities.

How is he doing now? Suddenly I remembered those amber eyes. Su Mi's heart was still flooded with a slight wave. Did he get his wish? Is he satisfied with such a result?

Presumably he would not be satisfied, the ripeest fruit easily fell into the hands of others, and he planned it for so long. In the end, Mr. Ge is a step ahead.

Su Mi chuckled, in this world, things are always in the hands of people. It's up to the sky.

What about him? Su Mi's gaze returned to his eyes.

A long time ago after experiencing the test of this war, she and he used to look at each other through layers of snow and fog, but the background at that time was not the simplicity of the earthen wall of the post station, but the extravagance of the Tianxiang Garden of Bibo Pond.

It was just a few years ago, and now that I look back, it seems as far away as the previous life.

At that time, it was still in the court of Daqi, within the palace walls that were almost endless. At that time, he still looked bright and rusty. And she is cold and indifferent. How could they have thought that one day like this, they would be like ordinary friends. In this way, they naturally stand against each other, and talk about various affairs with a peaceful attitude.

In the vast prairie, it seems that the mind is also broadened with the endless grassland under the feet, as if those hatreds are also ethereal and distant, in the continuous war, in the pursuit of life and death, in the light of the clouds and the light breeze and the moonlight, gradually hidden to a hidden place, so that people either unintentionally, or deliberately, do not pay attention to it.

But when approaching the capital, all this was re-examined, just like a weed in spring, under the light of the sun, the ice and snow on it quickly melted, revealing a strong vitality, making people suddenly find that it has not disappeared, nor has it weakened, it is only temporarily covered by the wind that blows through the grassland, and by the moon that shines on the battlefield. The closer it got to the capital, the closer it got to the place where everything was tangled, the more it invented, and began to gnaw at her heart again.

Neither of them spoke, and the snowflakes kept fluttering, circling, and falling around them.

"We're going into town early tomorrow morning?" Ni Tingxuan's gaze lowered, and he finally spoke. Then he looked up at Su Mi, as if waiting for some important decision.

Su Mi had already understood his worries.

Looking out from the half-hidden threshold of the inn, the long road outside can be faintly seen, stretching endlessly under the moonlight......

The front is the capital, vaguely, a thought rose in my heart, I hope this road will go on forever, although along the way, the weather is so cold.

"How is it arranged about me?" She still asked, her sparkling eyes couldn't help but look at the person in front of her with a little flicker, she was a little curious, how he would choose.

"The entry document that was just passed on didn't mention you. Ni Tingxuan returned to the Dao, his expression was a little uncertain, avoiding her gaze, and he finally asked softly, "Are you ready to go back to the palace?" ”

The moment he said this, he thought his heart was beating.

These days, the car accompanied by the two has driven from the distant Xijing, walked through the rolling mountains, walked through the majestic Juyu Pass, and finally walked to the nearest post station from the capital of Daqi.

There are countless opportunities along the way for him to ask questions and plan his next move. But he didn't dare to ask, he didn't dare to listen to the answer that made him irreversible, he didn't dare to face the moment of the final choice, because he knew better than ever that the power to choose was not in his hands.

He didn't ask, and she didn't say.

The two of them finished the road in an unusual tacit understanding and in a strange silence.

But no matter how long the road is, there will come a time when it will come to an end.

Tomorrow, just tomorrow, they will step into the capital of Daqi, the place where they first met, and the place that gave them the most profound barrier.

Su Mi looked up at the continuous snowflakes falling from the sky, the dark and dreary sky was like a bottomless abyss, sucking all the love and hate, all the affection and hesitation, and all the light of this world into this invisible abyss.

The estrangement between them is nothing more than the deep city walls, the extended palace gates, and the unfamiliar name,......

What separates her from him is the hatred that is deeply imprinted in her bones, and the coldness buried in the depths of her blood.

How can the artistic conception of children's love be compared to the blood of relatives who are connected by blood?

She knew everything about him, but he didn't know everything about her.

If, he knew his secrets, knew his deepest hatred, and knew everything he had done up to now. What would he think, and would he still look at himself with such pure and sincere eyes?

Thinking of this question, Su Mi's heart skipped a beat in an instant.

She had no choice.

"If I don't go back to the palace, where can I go?" She finally shook her head, and said in a tone that she tried to keep flat, "Do I have any other choice now?" ”

Ni Tingxuan raised his head, something rushed to his lips, and he was about to say it, but was interrupted by Su Mi: "You don't have to worry," she lowered her head, "I naturally have my own way." ”

As a palace concubine, it is still reasonable for her to escape from the palace when the Liao people enter the palace, but it is too unbelievable to walk with courtiers and generals without authorization, and even run to the battlefield. Fortunately, now that Mr. Ge and Chen Yan are already in the capital, they have already helped her take care of everything for this matter, and she just needs to enter the city with peace of mind.

Then she turned her head away, no longer looking, no longer listening, and whether it was disappointment or gloom in his eyes had nothing to do with her.

Looking at her indifferent and refusal posture, Ni Tingxuan finally lowered his head and didn't say anything.

For a moment, there seemed to be only this layer of snow left between heaven and earth, shrouded in layers of fog......

She didn't know how long it took for her to hear his departing footsteps fade away.
