266. Not an option
Chapter 264 is not an option
On the dusty official road, a man is riding a horse and galloping, his clothes are covered with dust, but it can still be seen that he is from a noble background.
His mouth was full of stubble, and his eyes were blood-red, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had ridden a horse for a long, long time—chapped lips that proved that he had not eaten for many days.
People who do business on this official road are no strangers to this situation, because more than half a year ago, there was also a girl who also went west in the dust and non-stop......
"Longevity, the children ...... now" wanted to beckon the people on the horse to come down and drink saliva, and when he saw that the people on the horse did not look back, he rode away from the last inn, and the innkeeper shook his head: "I'm not afraid that people will come to the next ...... before they get to the place."
"Isn't it?" The proprietress on the side was busy hanging a large bunch of chili peppers at the door of the house, and sighed: "You haven't noticed, that young man's foot is still bleeding, it seems to be injured, I really don't know what is going on, it's worth his desperate journey!" ”
……
On the official road in early autumn, the wind in the northwest is already very cold, and a young man gallops on a horse - Qiyun, wait for me, you must wait for me!
Northwest Battalion. Boss Tent
The first time I came here, I was under house arrest, and I almost paid the price of illness in order to escape......
The second time I came here was after I woke up from a coma - I was still under house arrest, and the big tent was empty, except for me. Only the junior officers brought me food every day, but they were like deaf people, and they didn't care about everything I said.
"Excuse me, your general......" My voice stopped as if an egg had suddenly been stuffed in my mouth, because the person I was asking was like I couldn't see the air, just put down the food and turned to leave.
"Hey, you answer!" I have a lot of things to ask – why am I unscathed? How did I get back? What about the fourteenth elder brother and Yue Zhongqi? "I'm on a hunger strike, believe it or not, I'll kill you?"
In a hurry, I grabbed the soldier's clothes regardless of my image, you tell me clearly, what is going on?
The soldier turned around, and I was startled—from his open mouth, I could clearly see that he had no tongue, and his throat was black and terrifying.
"Are you a soldier?" I looked at his slightly darker and rougher complexion than our Central Plains people, and I couldn't believe that the ancients would treat a soldier like this: "Can you write?" ”
My eyes fell on his hand, and I almost fainted—the wound on his hand had just crusted over, and he had only two fingers left on each hand—the thumb and the pinky......
"I'm dizzy, the prevention is really thorough!" I let go of that poor alien soldier - although their people outside Tusi City almost killed me, I was promoted to a modern man with absolutely no prejudices. Such unfair treatment, if I ask him any more information, maybe he will be treated more cruelly, how can I bear it?
The afterglow of the sun came through the crack in the door curtain, and gradually disappeared, I sighed helplessly, and carved a heavy horizontal on the table with a hairpin—seven days, seven days have passed, and my memory of that night is still stuck in the moment when I fell into a coma.
I was already a dead man at that time, but I wasn't dead. But I was trapped here like a living dead - fortunately, my conditions in prison were not bad, not to mention eating well, and people brought me braziers every sunset, for fear that I would freeze me.
Such a good treatment should have been ordered by the fourteenth elder brother, right?
What the hell is going on? Why are you putting me under house arrest again?
I sat next to the brazier, bored with the fire, and still remembered the two cries when I landed, one was real, and the other was illusory—Brother Seventeen, if you are by the side of the morning light, will you still have a heart for me?
"Qiyun!" In the firelight, the door of the tent was opened, and Brother Seventeen suddenly stood in front of me—his face full of stubble, his blood-red eyes, his dirty and tattered clothes, so haggard, and indeed so real......
"Seventeenth Elder Brother ......" In this northwest camp, I didn't have time to take a good look at him when I parted twice in life and death, but today he really stood in front of me, but it seemed to be a phantom of water red: "Is it really you?" Seventeen......"
The picture in my mind is forever fixed on that day, the sun is setting, the sky is full of sunset, he is leading his horse, and he walks with the morning sun by the river in the setting sun......
"Qiyun, are you alright? Qiyun! "A tight hug pulled me back from the image that tormented me for I don't know how long — now that he was holding me, I could feel his breathing, I could feel his heartbeat, I could even smell the smell of blood mixed with the smell of earth on his body.
"Seventeen, where are you hurt?" How did you get here? How can it hurt?
"Qiyun, it's okay if you're fine, I thought I'd never see you again!" Brother Seventeen didn't react to my question, just hugged me like this, as if I would disappear as soon as he let go.
This feeling makes me nostalgic, but it also makes me worry - Brother Seventeen, don't care about me like this, my life is stormy, and I really don't know how sure I can be in the hurdle six years later. Duel with one of the greatest kings of all time, is it possible for me to give you a future?
"Seventeen, seventeen, why did you come here all of a sudden? Also, why are you so embarrassed? "I want to have this happiness forever, why be so smart, why guess the ending? "What's wrong, still hurt?" When did you come out of the capital? ”
"Seven days ago, Qiyun, what happened to you seven days ago? Don't lie to me, I know something must have happened! "Until now, Brother Seventeen's voice trembled, and I could feel his despair almost as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.
Seven days ago, I thought I would never see you again; Seven days ago, I fought against the tide and finally understood what it meant to be heroic: "I'm fine, I'm fine now, you don't have to worry about ......"
"Come with me, Qiyun." Seventeenth elder brother, grabbed me: "Please, come with me, I can't stand not seeing you anymore, I can't stand the kind of worry all the time, that night, the sudden heartache, I feel like I'm about to die!" ”
The moment I was dying, I regretted it, I regretted not dying by Seventeen's side. But now, we are all alive, I am withdrawn, I am afraid of the inevitable separation in the future, I want to be selfish, but: "I ......"
"Come with me, Qiyun, if something really happens to you and I'm not with you, I won't forgive myself even if I go to hell!" A haggard face, fiery eyes, an embarrassed dress, a resolute voice—my body trembled, my hands trembled, my heart trembled......
There is a voice in my heart that keeps telling me, be selfish once, be selfish this time! "Let's go!" I can have at least six years to be happy - no, only five years and seven months left, but at least I can have this time to cherish and ......
Rushing to the door, as soon as I lifted the curtain, I actually saw Yue Zhongqi standing outside the door - he hadn't seen him for seven days, his face was still pale, his fists were clenched, and his lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Don't say it, please don't say it!" Intuitively, I felt that what he wanted to say must be something to stop my decision, I finally made up my mind, I don't want to regret it, I only have more than 5 years of happiness left, I don't want to lose even this!
"Fu Jin, I have always admired your courage and determination since that day, I know that you are not allowed to shave your eyebrows, but ......"
"No but!" I grabbed the seventeenth elder brother and motioned for him to carry me on the horse: "I'm leaving, you've seen me do it, you know what to do if you stop me!" ”
"Fu Jin, this sentence should be said for the husband, I am a man." Brother Seventeen hugged me from behind, reflecting the light of the fire outside the camp, and I looked down at the projection of the two of us embracing each other—so beautiful, like a beautiful dream that will never work.
It turns out that happiness is as simple as that......
"Qiyun, let's go." Hold me, even though it is night, but I still feel that all the light is gathered on me—I am selfish, I know that the morning light is pitiful, but Seventeen, I am so happy that you have left me behind!
"Stop!" Just as we were about to ride our horses away, Yue Zhongqi rushed over: "Fence me all up, and no one is allowed to leave!" ”
"Xiaoyue!" I can't believe it's him who stopped me?
What about the fourteenth elder brother?
Could it be that he is the one who has put me under house arrest for so long?
"Bold, you're the opposite, aren't you? You dare to stop me! "Brother Seventeen shouted angrily, and I laughed - finally a little bit of a royal brother, wow, what a spirit! It's a pity that I'm not fit to rejoice on this occasion.
"Fujin, if you have a little conscience, don't leave!" Yue Zhongqi was almost crying.
"What if I have to go!" My voice couldn't have been colder.
"Fu Jin, it's for the sake of the general that he is unconscious until now in order to save you!" Yue Zhongqi knelt down, his voice desolate: "I know this request is excessive, but the general needs you now, he really needs you!" ”
To save me?
Unconscious?
My memories go back to that night......
My sword came out of my hand, and I fell to the ground with a heavy fall, desperately waiting for myself to be swallowed up by darkness while the furious hungry wolves pounced on me......
I'm supposed to die! I tried to remember, and in my memory, it was as if something had pounced on me, holding me tightly in my arms......
"Fourteenth elder brother!" I screamed, and even Seventeen behind me felt my abnormality—that night's bloody battle, life and death, and the feeling that our lives were all tightly connected—he saved me, and saved me again, and I could act as if nothing had happened, could I be so desperate?
"Fu Jin, I admire you, so I respect your decision, will you really leave at this time?"
