"Chun'er," the young prince no longer had the sunshine and freedom he had at the beginning, he was like an old man, holding his sister's hand tightly, and said in a low voice, "Brother can't stand you." [Full text reading. 】”
Zhao Chun'er didn't speak, just shook her head desperately, and the tears that she had endured all the way finally fell at this moment, and she threw them to the sides messily with her movements.
Chu Qiao stood up slowly, no one looked at her, and no one paid attention to her. In this environment, her shadow seems so redundant. She has an unshirkable responsibility for everything today, and she is an indirect executioner, which is undeniable.
The girl turned, picked up the sword on the ground, carried a tattered mat, opened the door and walked out.
The door creaked shut, the rain poured down outside, and the cold wind howled like a mad beast on a rampage.
With the mat on her head, she ran quickly to the stable, and when the black war horse saw her approaching, he suddenly snorted happily and shook his head excitedly.
Chu Qiao shook off the rain on his body, stepped forward with a smile, patted the horse's neck, smiled faintly, and said, "You still welcome me, right?" ”
The horse didn't know if he could understand her, and when he saw that his master was friendly, he only shook his head happily.
"I'll have to come to you tonight."
Chu Qiao smiled and sat down against the horse, which was clinging to her, rubbing her arms up and down with her neck very affectionately.
In the bag on the horse's back, something fell out with a thud. Chu Qiao picked it up and saw that it was a small pot of spirits.
She hadn't drunk for many years, but when she was separated from the Southwest Town Envoy that day, she actually took a pot of wine from He Xiao by mistake.
The wind and rain outside are getting stronger and stronger, and the sky and the earth are gray, and the rising sun can hardly be seen. The room was warm, the fire was still burning, shining on the figures of the two people inside, projected on the window paper, and the shadows were full of shadows.
The maiden sat in the stable, bent one leg, leaning on the horse, holding the sword in one hand, and the jug in the other, and drank it with her head up.
The liquor was as spicy as fire in her throat, and she suddenly began to cough violently, as if to cough out her lungs. The steed was alarmed and looked at her in a panic. She coughed and patted its neck comfortingly, coughing and laughing, "It's okay...... Ahem...... I'm fine......"
She laughed, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes, like a meandering stream, falling on her cheeks one by one, shaking as she coughed violently.
Heaven and earth were connected by heavy rain, there was no meaning of sunshine, everything was like a stick figure, on the dark ruins, the figure of the girl was thin and thin, it was so desolate.
In the early morning, the heavy rain finally stopped, and the sun emerged from the fog and quickly hid again. After feeding the horse, Chu Qiao came to the door, knocked gently, his voice was a little hoarse, and called softly: "Are you awake?" It's time to hit the road. ”
There was a rustling sound inside, and Chu Qiao stepped aside and stood quietly. After a while, the chai door creaked open, and Zhao Chun'er stood at the door, her face cold, but her tone was very calm, "Brother Thirteen told you to go in." ”
Chu Qiao nodded, followed Zhao Chun'er and entered the house.
Zhao Song sat in the straw, his hair was combed neatly by Zhao Chun'er, and even his beard was shaved, and the whole person looked much refreshed. If it weren't for the empty sleeves, Chu Qiao almost thought that everything was just a nightmare.
"Let's go." Zhao Song looked at him coldly, his voice was calm, but with an indifference that rejected people thousands of miles away, "I don't want to see you again." ”
I had long thought that this would happen, Chu Qiao was not panicked, but replied calmly: "I want to send you back, this is a long way to go to Zhenhuang, I don't worry about you going by yourself." ”
Zhao Song raised his eyebrows, and his eyes slashed across Chu Qiao's body like a knife, "Are we living or dying, what do we have to do with you?" ”
Suddenly having a piece of flesh in his heart ripped off, Chu Qiao took a deep breath and continued: "After the war here in Sichuan, there are homeless people and robbers everywhere, the major clans and vassal kings are all watching, and the armed forces in various places are rapidly expanding. At this time, the Zhao family's imperial power could no longer deter them. Until you return to Zhenhuang, you will not be able to identify yourself. The bandits at the mouth of the west of Sichuan gathered in large numbers and wandered around the Hetao, you ......"
"That's enough," Zhao Song frowned impatiently and said in a deep voice, "I said, we live or die, what do we have to do with you?" ”
It was as if someone had pressed a huge stone in his heart, Chu Qiao took a deep breath for a long time before he said in a dumb voice: "Zhao Song, I know that you hate me, and I also know that I am far from being able to atone for my sins by doing this, but I can't watch you go to death." ”
Zhao Song smiled coldly, raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Qiao, and said in a cold voice: "Ah Chu, do you know what I liked you the most before?" ”
Chu Qiao was stunned for a moment, suddenly raised his head, and only listened to Zhao Song say slowly word by word: "What I liked you most in the past is that you are the way you are now, always so confident, no matter what status, what status, or what situation you are in, you will not look down on yourself, you will not be arrogant, you will not lose hope, you will always be so firm, and you will firmly believe in your own ability." But," Zhao Song's eyes suddenly darkened, and the corners of his mouth were cold, "I really hate you like this now, arrogant, self-righteous, and always with a savior face." Who do you think you are, what do you think you're doing right now? Alms? Expiation? Or do you want to do something about it before you can go back to that brute and live your life in peace? ”
Chu Qiao shook his head, biting his lower lip, wanting to explain: "Zhao Song, I ......"
"Get out! Don't let me see you again! Zhao Song said angrily, "I told you a long time ago, you and I have already broken off, and when we meet again, you will either die or I will die, betray the empire, slaughter the people, you will not be able to atone for your sins!" ”
"Zhao Song......"
"Get out!"
Zhao Song was furious. Chu Qiao froze in place, his hands and feet shaking involuntarily. She straightened her back and continued to say in a deep voice: "Zhao Song, I will leave when I see you enter Zhenhuang, even if you don't need me, there is also a princess." It's been a long journey, and you shouldn't want the same thing to happen to her again. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Chun'er's body suddenly stiffened. Zhao Song glanced back at Zhao Chun'er, and then said stubbornly: "I will protect my sister, it's not your turn to care." ”
"Thirteen Brothers......
"Have you become cowardly enough to rely on your enemies for protection?" Zhao Chun'er was just about to speak, but Zhao Song suddenly shouted. Zhao Chun'er glanced at Chu Qiao with a complicated look, then bit her lower lip lightly and stopped talking.
Half an hour later, Chu Qiao watched Zhao Song and Zhao Chun'er's carriage gradually disappear on the distant ancient road, and fatigue suddenly came over him. The cold rain of the night made her so hot that she could barely stand on her feet, but when the morning sun finally pierced the thick fog, she gritted her teeth and climbed on her horse and chased forward.
Since that day, she has been carefully wandering in front of and behind Zhao Song's carriage. Because she could not make a route for them, she could only go to the front at night to clear the road for them, and when she encountered scattered robbers and rebels, she would break them up, and when she encountered a large group of bandits, she would deliberately expose her hiding to lure the enemy away, and during the day she would follow from a distance behind and secretly protect. Because of her fast legs, she has never been discovered.
But after four days of this, she finally fell ill out of control because of extreme fatigue and sleeping all day long.
When she woke up, it was still raining heavily, she was lying in a dilapidated small thatched pavilion, Zhao Chun'er was wearing a smock robe, holding a missing bowl in her hand, and two pieces of dry food were placed in it.
"Eat, if you die, who will escort us back?"
The princess of the Zhao royal family looked at her condescendingly, said calmly, put the bowl on the ground, and then turned to leave.
Chu Qiao's pale face was splashed with muddy water, winding like a shocking scar. She watched Zhao Chun'er's figure gradually disappear into the rain, and for some reason, there was suddenly an inexplicable warmth in her eyes.
Seven days later, the majestic ancient capital of Zhenhuang finally loomed in the morning mist. This first capital city in the north of the Simon Continent, which has experienced the baptism of war for 300 years, is like a sleeping lion lying on the undulating land of the Red River. Looking at the city where he had lived for eight years, Chu Qiao suddenly felt tired and full of emotion.
She turned her horse's head and faced northwest, and was about to leave, when the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded behind her. Chu Qiao calmly turned his head and looked at the person in front of him, silently.
"You're leaving?"
"Yes."
"Do you want to go back to him?"
"Yes."
"Do you want to come back?"
"I don't know, maybe I'll come back, maybe not."
"Haha," Zhao Song suddenly laughed, his one-armed sleeves fluttering in the wind, and the picture was so weird that it looked like a kite with half of its wings missing, "Look, I'm really a cowardly man!" ”
"Thirteen," Chu Qiao said in a deep voice, "Thank you for coming to see me one last time." ”
Zhao Song smiled bitterly, "You can travel thousands of miles to escort me, is it possible that my heart is so narrow that I can't come to see you?" ”
Yellow sand is piled up everywhere, the wind blows, and the sky is scattered. Zhao Song was wearing an ordinary brown coarse coat, but it did not damage the royal nobility on his body at all. The man's hair was blown by the wind, and he said slowly in a cold tone: "But this time, it is really the last time, he will see each other every day, you don't need to show mercy to me anymore, and I will not show mercy to your subordinates." ”
Chu Qiao shook his head slowly, "I won't kill you." ”
"That's your business," Zhao Song said coldly, "Anyone who betrays the empire is a dead end." ”
When Chu Qiao heard this, he raised his head with frowns, and said in a deep voice word by word: "Zhao Song, what is the empire?" ”
Just look at the refreshing one
