Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Past Is Traceless

Writing a summary of the pain is just as painful as writing this chapter......

------------------------ this is the dividing line of pain-----------

When Su Zhe first appeared in the capital, many people once asked "Who is this person", and the answer to the question was quickly found out, it turned out that Su Zhe was Mei Changsu, the suzerain of the Jiangzuo League, the largest gang in the world. This answer was very satisfying to everyone, and it seemed to explain a lot of things, so no one continued to ask: "That Mei Changsu...... Who is he? ”

Mei Changsu didn't expect that the first person to ask such a question would be the Nihuang County Lord. At this time, her gaze was like a sword that could pierce through the human body, firing on his face, not letting go of the slightest change in his expression, insisting on waiting for an answer from her own mouth.

Whether to stay silent or to deceive more deeply is a difficult choice.

Mei Changsu's eyebrows were a little tired, and even more vicissitudes, he slowly turned his head to the side, as if he wanted to avoid the county lord's inquiry, and said in a low voice: "Old man." Like Nie Duo, they are all old people who have survived the catastrophe. ”

Nihuang's crystal eyes were like water, still staring at him without relaxation, "If it's the old department of Red Flame, why don't I recognize you?" ”

"There are countless men in the Red Flame Army, how can you remember them all?"

"But now that you are the sect master, even Nie Duo is willing to be under you and listen to your orders. If you were an unknown person, I don't believe you. ”

"Maybe it's because ...... What we're doing now has nothing to do with the battlefield......" A self-deprecating smile appeared on Mei Changsu's lips, "Nie Duo is not good at doing this, not to mention that there are many people who know him, so it's not very convenient." ”

Nihuang looked at him fixedly for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Do you know Lin Shu?" ”

Mei Changsu lowered his eyes. Since he is an old man of Chiyan, how could he not know Lin Shu, so the answer can only be: "I know." ”

"Is he really dead?"

"Yes."

"Where did he die?"

"Meiling."

"Where are the bones?"

"Seventy thousand men, heaven and earth are tombs."

"Didn't anyone even take his bones?" Nihuang closed his eyes tightly, and his fingers grabbed the placket of the clothes in front of him, "Can't you even find a piece of remain?" ”

"The battle is fierce, the bones are like mountains, who can recognize which one is Lin Shu?"

"yes......" Nihuang nodded blankly, "I know what a tragic battlefield looks like. In the ancient battlefield, there are a few people who can wrap their bodies and return ......"

Mei Changsu's gaze fell softly on her, "If the county lord wants to sacrifice him, where is Qingshan not a heroic soul?" ”

"You're right, he doesn't care about this," Nihuang muttered to himself, and suddenly raised his eyes again, his eyes were as fierce as a knife in an instant, "But if you are an old man of Red Flame, you should be called a young marshal, why do you call Lin Shu by his name?" ”

Mei Changsu's expression shook slightly, and his originally pale lips became even more bloodless. I don't know if it was because he couldn't hide it, or because he couldn't bear to continue to hide it in the first place, he didn't answer this question, but turned his face to the side.

"When Nie Duo talks about his sect master, his love is evident, and it is not just a different division of labor as you said," Ni Huang stubbornly turned to his front again, insisting on staring into his eyes, "I have never understood why Nie Duo's pain is so deep, even if I was once the fiancée of his comrade who died in battle, there is no need for him to struggle and escape like now, unless...... Unless he knows ......"

"Nihuang," Mei Changsu interrupted her lightly, "Nie Duo is just a little bit of a bull's horn. He'll be fine slowly, don't be careful. ”

Nihuang looked at him in a daze, her face was very sad, and the white breath exhaled from the cold wind seemed to blur her vision one by one. After taking a deep breath, she suddenly grabbed Mei Changsu's right arm, tore the sleeve on his wrist with force, and pushed the thick fur sleeve up to her elbow.

Mei Changsu was at her mercy, did not resist, did not cover up, but those eyes that were as deep as a pool were covered with a faint layer of desolation.

Nihuang clenched his arm and looked at it several times, but the entire exposed part was polished, and there was no trace of what could be called a mark.

Letting go of his hand in a daze, he was stunned for a while, but Nihuang still unwillingly reached out and ripped open Mei Changsu's neckline again, carefully inspecting the part of his shoulder blade.

…… It is still smooth and clean, without marks and marks.

The young girl's tears finally burst out of her eyes, dripping down her cheeks and down continuously, giving the illusion that the teardrops would immediately be frozen into pearls of the mermaid in the bitter cold wind.

Mei Changsu looked at her gently, unable to step forward or comfort. The bitter cold of midwinter pierced deep into the skin along the unpulled cuffs and loosened collar, cold to the bone, as if ready to strike the heart and force it to stop.

"Are you afraid of the cold?" Nihuang asked softly as he tightened his cloak.

"Yes...... I'm afraid of cold ......."

"He has never been afraid of the cold before, everyone says that he is a little fire man," Ni Huang's face was pale, and his eyes were full of moisture, "What kind of cruel thing is it to erase all traces on a person's body, to make a fire man so afraid of cold ......"

"Nihuang ......" Mei Changsu's expression was still quiet, and his tone was still low, "It's enough to see, don't imagine it anymore." There is a lot of pain, all because you can't control your imagination, you don't have to face it, let alone bear it. Lin Shu is dead, you just have to believe this......"

"But a woman's feelings are always unreasonable," Nihuang stared at his face, tears falling quickly and quickly, "even if there is no trace, we can know...... Maybe the more there is nothing, the more I know...... Brother Lin Shu, I'm sorry, I'm not leaving you anymore, I'll never leave you again......"

"Silly boy," Mei Changsu only felt that his eyes were hot for a while, and he reached out and hugged his little girl into his arms, "I know you are thinking of Brother Lin Shu, but that's different...... The years that have been missed, and the hearts that have been moved, are like rivers that have passed, which can never be turned back. I've been tired for twelve years and don't want to see the important people around me suffer because of my presence anymore, so I can also be a lot easier, don't you say? ”

Nihuang hugged his waist tightly, tears soaking the hem of his chest. In the past ten years, she has been the support of others, the pillar of others, facing the younger brother and old generals, the military and civilians in the south, her soft waist cannot bend down for a moment, even Nie Duo, it is impossible for her to relax completely.

But only this person, only this embrace, can make her return to her delicate and soft years, indulging in tears, coquettish without scruples, without passionate passion, without the lovesickness of morning and twilight, and some, just a warm and lazy trust like the winter sun, as if she could close her eyes and turn back into the little girl who was always carefree and let him run around on his back......

Putting aside each other's identities, putting aside the marriage contract made by the adults, Brother Lin Shu is still Brother Lin Shu, no matter how many years have passed, no matter how things have changed, even if one day each finds their own love, each has their own good couple, even if their children will be successful in the future, and their temples are white, Brother Lin Shu is still her Brother Lin Shu.

"Nihuang, listen to me," Mei Changsu hugged her quietly, gently stroking her long hair, "Don't ask what happened back then, one day I will let Nie Duo tell you the original, but now...... Can you listen to me and go back to King Mu's mansion obediently, don't tell anyone about our meeting today, not even Xia Dong and King Jing. If we meet again in the future, I will still be Su Zhe, and you will still be the county lord, don't let others see the difference, have you done it? ”

Nihuang wiped the water on his face with his sleeve, cheered up, and nodded, "I know, what you have to do now is difficult, and I won't trouble you." ”

Mei Changsu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to straighten the messy hair in her ears, and said softly: "After Qingming, you can go back to Yunnan, I will let Nie Duo go over too, you wait quietly for my news there, okay?" ”

"No," the Nihuang County Lord raised his eyebrows lightly, "You are weak in the capital, at least I want to stay and help you......"

"There are also things to do in Yunnan." Mei Changsu gently persuaded, "When I need your help, I will definitely call you, because you are not an outsider, we have to work together." ”

Nihuang's eyes moved slightly, and he muttered for a moment, then nodded slowly, "That's good...... I can contain some of the situation when I go back to Yunnan, and perhaps it is indeed more useful than staying in the capital. After I leave, all the forces of King Mu's Mansion in the capital can be deployed at will. ”

Mei Changsu showed a smile in his eyes and praised: "You have really experienced these years, you are decisive and wise, your thinking is clear, and you have a very accurate grasp of the context of the situation. With you to stabilize the south, I also have a lot of worries in the capital. ”

Nihuang looked at his plain white face and quiet smile, and suddenly felt very sour in his heart, and he didn't want to make him sad anymore, so he barely endured it, and said in a slightly trembling tone: "Brother Lin Shu, you have to be careful......"

Mei Changsu patted the back of her hand comfortingly, took out a plain towel from her arms, brushed off a layer of snow on the ground next to her, grabbed a few handfuls of clean snow below and held it into ice cubes, wrapped it in a plain towel and put it on Nihuang's eyes, and said softly, "You are the female general of the three armies of Weizhen, you can't go back with swollen eyes......"

Nihuang smiled, took the ice pack and pressed it lightly and took turns to cold compress his eyes, Fang Cai's depression and sadness were slightly evacuated, and he saw Mei Changsu retracting the fingers that had grabbed the snow back into his sleeves and simmering, his lips were also slightly blue and white, and he couldn't help but say worriedly: "Brother Lin Shu, you are so cold, let's take your carriage back to the city first." I'll wait here for a while, and when Xiaoqing comes back after sending Mr. Zhou back, my eyes will be almost better. Don't worry, you won't let that kid find out. ”

"If even Mu Qing can find out, then it's worth it." Mei Changsu deliberately joked lightly, and indeed couldn't resist the increasingly heavy chill on his body, so he casually told Nihuang a few words, turned around and walked downhill.

The guard, who had been standing far away in the sloping depression, immediately met him, and when he saw his gesture, he ran to the coachman to drive the carriage that was parked on the side of the road farther away, put down the footstool, and helped him into the carriage.

Mei Changsu leaned on the wheel, turned around and glanced in the direction of the slope, and saw Nihuang raise the ice bag in his hand and wave it at him, and he hurriedly raised his hand in response.

The carriage then shook slightly, and began to start moving forward, and the heavy curtain was lowered, blocking the wind in the valley outside, and also blocking the sight of the county lord of Huang.

Mei Changsu only felt a tingling sensation like ice needles in his chest, and it was difficult to suppress it strongly, he raised his sleeve to cover his mouth and coughed, and when it finally calmed down, the snow-white silver fur cuffs were already stained with a touch of crimson.

"Sect Master!" The guard exclaimed in surprise and came over to hold his body.

"It's okay," Mei Changsu smiled faintly, "It's too cold, go back and boil me some hot water, just warm up......"
