If you knew that the end of the road ahead would eventually be as sad as the withered cherry blossoms, would you still walk without hesitation?

Probably still will.

Because as long as the day doesn't come to an end, you can't let go of the luck and expectations in your heart after all.

Maybe I can change my fate?

Perhaps the foreknowledge of fate was just a deliberate trap set by God?

Maybe even fate itself is just a tricky joke?

As everyone knows, the reason why fate becomes destiny is not how God's hand moves, but the demon in everyone's heart has never died after all.

Yue never had the slightest expectation for this trip from the beginning, and even she has been involuntarily avoiding and resisting.

But when the torturer offered her the opportunity to escape, she refused again.

Maybe it's because she still remembers that gambling contract, maybe she just can't bear to look at the two people who have a deep blood feud and have worked hard for 20 years but are only one step away from revenge, because of her cowardice and abandoned her efforts.

She knew almost nothing about the two teenagers she had never met, but she couldn't do it if she wanted her to cut off their hard-won hope.

Twenty years have passed, and it is enough to bear the burden of humiliation, and it's time to get rid of it.

Wei Hu deserves to die, and so should his fellows who aided and abetted him, she never doubted that.

But Wei Hu's family, as well as the families of those guys, are innocent.

She is willing to avenge them. But in order to avenge them, she wanted to hurt many innocent people, but she resisted.

The pleasure and pain in her heart that were entangled and arguing with each other never gave in, even today when her hands were already stained with blood.

She still can't get past that hurdle.

But whether she wanted to or not, she finally embarked on this journey.

Even though she had a vague sense of foreboding, she didn't know if it was due to the transformation of death, or from the journey.

"The front is the border of Yingzhou, we will rest here for the night today, and set off early tomorrow morning."

They set out early in the morning, but it was not until the sun went down and it was twilight that they could reach a small town on the border of Yingzhou.

The fact that she couldn't ride a horse must have slowed them down, but the death didn't seem to show any expression along the way, neither resentment nor rushing.

However, his silence is really not bad news for Yue, at least he doesn't have to rack his brains to deal with him.

But she couldn't escape the embarrassment of riding the same horse, it was better than riding with his two entourage.

If she were to be self-reliant, she probably wouldn't even be able to survive this town.

That being said, when Death said that he was resting here, she couldn't wait to escape from his arms right away.

But she pushed hard, but she couldn't push away the two solid iron arms that surrounded her.

"What's the hurry?"

"Didn't you say you were going to rest here for the night? . . ."

Yu said in a low voice, but the two arms didn't mean to let go at all, Yue frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction.

"The town hasn't even entered yet, do you know where to rest?"

“。。。 It's either a post house or an inn. ”

Yue was subconsciously stunned, and then replied casually. But he only glanced at her faintly, and he had no intention of answering or letting go.

Now Yue muttered in his heart, he couldn't have said it casually. But where else can you go besides inns and inns? You can't just find an empty space and spend the night.

Yue wondered in her heart, but she didn't mean to explain at all, so she could only reluctantly stay on horseback.

Now that the sun is setting, the villagers have almost begun to clean up their stalls and prepare to go home to cook.

They looked at the visitors of the group of four curiously, but they did not show excessive concern.

This town is the only way between Yingzhou and Yizhou, and the villagers of the town have long been accustomed to these travelers who travel during the day and stay overnight.

Even if the dress and imposing of this group does not look like ordinary traders, but so what?

In such a crowded place, the first thing you need to do if you want to live a peaceful life is to learn not to ask and not to see.

Even if you see it, you have to pretend that you don't see it, and if you talk too much, it will be even more long.

But there is something interesting about these people today.

It's not uncommon to have a woman with you when you go out, but it's the only one who has to take a ride with a woman.

Moreover, the son with a cold face is dressed in extraordinary clothes and domineering, and his identity is not simple at first glance.

But looking at his posture, his hands around the girl's waist seemed to be holding the reins tightly, but the horse was just walking leisurely, and did he need to pull the reins so hard?

Seeing that both of his arms were almost straightened, he looked more afraid that the girl would run away than holding the reins.

What's even more interesting is that the girl not only did not appreciate it, but looked reluctant.

Sitting on the horse, Yue naturally saw this curious eye, but he only saw it.

Neither curiosity nor pointless suspicion meant anything to her.

But when they passed through most of the town and stopped in front of a shop, Yue couldn't laugh or cry.

Tongbao Silver Trumpet, I really can't get rid of these four big characters anywhere.

They settled down in the silver horn, and Yue put down his burden and heart, poured a cup of tea and sat down for a while, but got up again and opened the door.

But as soon as she opened the door, she regretted it a little.

Because at the same time she opened the door, the door to the opposite room was opened from the inside almost at the same time.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Yue's face, he seemed to be stunned, but then he showed a shallow smile.

"Girl, are you going to go out?"

“。。。 It's my first time in this kind of place, and it looks fresh, so I want to go out and walk while the sky is still a little bright. ”

This shouldn't be a lie.

Although she had been to small towns like Xingli Village and Xingtao Village before, it was mostly at night, and she didn't have the heart to wander around at that time, so when she came to this ordinary and lively town, she was a little curious.

Because she seems to feel the breath of life that she has never seen before.

"That's what I mean, why don't you just ask the girl to walk with me?"

Yue thought that he had been with him all day long during the day, and now he even had to go out for a walk with him...

She felt her face stiffen for a moment, and even felt the urge to close the door as if she hadn't said she wanted to go out for a walk.

But after all, it's just a thought.

She nodded strangely after all, and then walked out of the silver horn behind her.

The sun had almost completely set the horizon in the distance, and only the last rays of light remained

Faint temperature.

On the street, which was still quite lively, only scattered pedestrians were hurrying home.

Almost every house on both sides of the street was covered with green smoke, and the faint aroma of food filled the town with the smoke that slowly drifted into the sky.

When she was surrounded by this series of breaths called 'life', her heart suddenly settled down a lot.

"The girl seems to like this place?"

"Although this kind of life of sunrise and sunset is uneventful, it does not seem to be bad."

"The girl thinks that plainness is a blessing, but the world is so big, and people's hearts are back, how can there be no strife forever? The so-called bland is bliss, isn't it an empty word? ”

"It is naturally impossible for the world to be peaceful and free of strife, but if it is only because of one person's ambition that the soul is destroyed and the earth is stained with blood, what is the meaning of the common people in the world except for adding to the evil?"

"Killing?"

He seemed to chuckle, but there was something like emotion and disdain between the words.

"Does the girl know that there are more people who died in the north than in the battle between me and Ye Shuoguang?"

As soon as the words fell, Yue's face changed suddenly.

She suddenly began to wonder if the dead already knew about the events of that night.

But he walked along the quiet country road with his head bowed, and did not look at her, nor showed any sign of words.

"Although I don't know which of the two is more, but in recent years, the Qi State and the Northern Kingdom have been facing each other on both sides of the Weishui, and although there have been occasional frictions, it seems that there has not been a large-scale war. In contrast, the prince and Ye Xiang have been fighting for so many years, and countless people have been implicated. ”

"Yes, I have been fighting with Ye Shuoguang for so many years, and there are so many people who have died because of this that I can't even remember myself. But no matter how much it is, it is not enough for one in a thousand who died under the war between the two countries. ”

"One in a thousand?! But... But that's all in the past, and now that there is no longer fighting between the two countries, why bother to finally get this rare peace... ”

Yue's face turned a little pale, and her tone and expression suddenly became a little eager, but she didn't hesitate to interrupt her.

"Can it be considered peace if we don't move? It is only natural that you were born late and do not know much about the situation in the Northland. ”

He paused, frowned slightly, and his expression became very serious.

"But you've probably heard of the history of the Northlands, right?"

"You mean the predecessor of the Northland?"

"Predecessor? The predecessor was nothing more than a group of stubborn and fierce barbarians, and their combat ability and unexpected unity had indeed blocked the iron hooves of Qi for a long time, but that plate was not enough to arouse my interest. ”

"But beyond that... Are you referring to the civil war ten years ago? ”

Yue's face changed suddenly, and she also remembered the civil war.

It was a war that was so tragic that it seemed to be oozing blood just in the books.

Ten years ago, the Northern Civil War was also a battle for the founding of the Northern Kingdom.
