If you just follow them away from here, away from Yudu, away from Qi Country, away from those times that have already passed.

Will you be able to start over?

Qi Su was silent for a long time, and the faces of Yi Qi, Qi Fei, and even Xiao Wei flashed in her mind one by one, but it was not what it was now, but the most peaceful and beautiful time she had ten years ago.

It's been ten years.

She had spent half her life in that glorious palace, and she had spent all her love and hate on that man.

Isn't that enough?

Maybe the real reason why she hated him was not that he killed Qi Fei at all, but that he not only didn't love her, but also ruined her only hope with his own hands.

Qi Fei once said that he would take her away from here and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, so that she no longer had to be at the mercy of others and be trapped in the high walls of the deep palace.

But he killed Qi Fei.

Maybe it's not Xiao Wei who can't forgive at all, but herself.

Because she didn't even dare to admit that she killed Qi Fei.

She didn't love him, but she couldn't refuse his tenderness.

She followed behind the man, covered in bruises and pain, but Qi Fei stayed by her side.

When the man said that he would marry her to Xiao Wei, she finally gave up completely.

Full of resentment, she took advantage of Qi Fei, and she will never forget the ecstasy on his face when she offered to go away with him.

But in the end, they didn't even leave Yingzhou, and their faces turned into dead ashes covered with blood.

She was angry with Xiao Wei all the time, but she never dared to admit that it all stemmed from her cowardice and selfishness.

"It's mine, no, I shouldn't be angry with Miss Yue, let alone insult her indiscriminately, and ask Miss Yue to raise her noble hand and stop worrying about me."

Qi Su's voice was very soft, but the people present still heard her words clearly.

Xing and Yue exchanged a slightly surprised look, he originally thought that this eldest lady who had grown up in the palace since he was a child, even if she was wronged there, but still called a pampered eldest lady, probably would not bow her head so easily.

Xiao Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, unable to tell whether it was relief or melancholy.

She has finally taken this step, and she has finally stopped clinging to the past.

Even a single thought is enough.

"Your Majesty, since Qi Su already knows that he is wrong, you see...

Xing didn't say anything for a while, Xiao Wei answered a little anxiously, but Xing didn't agree immediately, but turned to Yue.

"What do you think?"

"Since Miss Su already knows that she is wrong, and she is entrusted by the eldest brother, then please ask Miss Su to leave with us. It's just that this trip is long and eventful, I'm afraid it will be hard for Miss Su, I wonder if Miss Su has already thought about it? ”

Yue nodded slightly, and agreed, but this last sentence turned to Qi Su.

Xiao Wei thought that as long as Qi Su was willing to make amends, then it would naturally be equivalent to truly accepting his proposal, but when Yue asked Qi Su so bluntly, she was silent again.

He subconsciously wanted to answer for Qi Su, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them again.

Qi Su never really agreed.

So how could he not have asked her the same question many times before, and the answer to him was always a dead silence.

Even this time, what he said was nothing more than her noncommittal silence.

Not accepting or rejecting, perhaps that is the most desperate situation.

He wanted to answer for her, but when the words came to his lips, he realized that he didn't know how to answer, saying that she didn't object? Or was it just a decision he didn't make for her?

In the past few months, he has thought countless times, maybe he would rather Qi Su stab him again like before, at least that way he can clearly know that she is still alive.

Even if you don't love him, even if you still hate, it's good.

But Qi Su, who was beside him, didn't seem to even feel the breath of life.

It wasn't until she suddenly quarreled with Yue and made amends in person that he vaguely felt that Qi Su, who dared to love and hate in his memory, was gradually coming to life.

Xiao Wei couldn't help but suspect that she had just stepped out of one foot, and before she could stand firmly, she wanted to return to the cage of the past.

At this moment, he suddenly felt tired, but a very ordinary question was like a sharp blade, quickly and sharply piercing the little expectation that he had finally mustered up the courage to imagine.

He has always told himself that as long as he can make up for the damage he has caused her, even if it takes more time, he will do his best to take care of her.

However, it was not until this moment that he had to admit that he was not qualified to answer anything for her, let alone decide anything for her.

Such a deep and dead despair, sudden but as if premeditated, actually gave him a sense of relief.

He couldn't describe his mood at this moment, whether he hoped that Qi Su would agree, follow Yue away and try to start over, or stay here, indulging in the love and hate of the past and torturing each other.

Past, or future?

Or maybe she wouldn't answer at all.

That's fine, let her go to the battlefield with him, and he will do his best to protect her.

But if you really can't protect it, then let's go to Huangquan together.

It's better than leaving her alone in this world, lonely and helpless, and life is better than death.

Yue looked at Qi Su silently, neither urging nor persecuting, this question must be answered by herself, Xiao Wei can't replace her, no one can replace her.

Qi Su's expression looked struggling and dazed, but Yue saw the imperceptible loosening in her eyes.

It was as if a stone had been dropped on the frozen water, which at first was only a small crack, but slowly centered on this crack, spread out and expanded into one crack after another, until it spread to the entire surface of the ice.

"I'll go."

Qi Su's voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was very firm, far more clear than Fang Cai's sentence.

Yue couldn't help but show a relieved smile, it seems that this stone has finally worked, although this crack is still too small to shake the entire ice surface, but the ice with the crack is naturally far from being as indestructible as it has always been.

On the contrary, Xiao Wei's expression seemed to be relieved, painful, and relieved, which made people feel sour and unspeakable for no reason.

It was undeniable that he finally smiled at her, and that smile was bright and easy to appreciate.

At that moment, Yue seemed to have returned to the time when he was unhindered and chatting happily when he first met. Xiao Wei, who is as white and handsome as a girl and always blushes, is a young general who is heroic and extraordinary.

When you come, you walk side by side, and when you go, you are alone.

In the past, he was a heroic young man, but now he is a down-and-out worlder.

Xiao Wei left, but Qi Su stayed.

When Xiao didn't leave, he was already drunk, but his eyes were always clear.

Yue could see that he had finally unloaded the heaviest burden in his heart, and since he was much more relaxed, it was a good thing that he could get drunk.

It's just that after Qi Su said those two words, he returned to the unmoving appearance when he came, Xiao Wei was happy, but he didn't look at Qi Su since then, and naturally he didn't say a word.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Wei insisted on returning to the barracks, saying that this time was different from the past, and he couldn't act as recklessly as before.

Yue remembered that at the funeral of Emperor Jing that day, the young general who stood in front of the army in battle armor became an almost inaudible sigh.

She personally sent Xiao Wei out of a cow, and Xiao Wei turned over on the horse crookedly.

There were no fingers to be seen in the darkness all around, except for the two glowing lanterns under the sign of a cow.

Yue originally wanted to send Xiao Wei to the city gate, but Xiao Wei resolutely refused.

Yue couldn't, so he had to tell him to be more careful, Xiao Wei agreed repeatedly, and never said a word about Qi Su again.

He had just taken a few steps forward and stopped again.

Suddenly glanced back at Qi Su's direction, Qi Su, who was sitting silently, seemed to suddenly notice something, and suddenly turned his head and looked in Xiao Wei's direction.

Xiao Wei met Qi Su's gaze without dodging, and suddenly opened the corners of his mouth and laughed.

Red peach face, delicate young man.

The smile was so charming and beautiful, but with a flamboyant and brilliant heroic spirit, it made the punishment on the side look overshadowed.

But before Yue came back to his senses, Xiao Wei turned around and ran away, never looking back.

Qi Su kept looking at Xiao Wei, and when Xiao Wei turned to leave, a tear crossed her cheek, and the indifferent and cold expression instantly fell apart, but she quickly lowered her head, and when she looked up again, it was still the indifferent and ruthless Qi Su.

The next day, as soon as dawn broke, the three of them got up and dressed up, but in addition to their suits, there was a long strip of black cloth wrapped in it.

Yue recognized the thing at a glance, and with such a familiar feeling, she finally understood why Xing took the risk of returning to Yudu, and why he hid it from her.

Sure enough, it's a reason that is hard to refuse, and it's really something that you know you shouldn't refuse but still can't accept it.

She sneered and threw the burden of punishment and the thing out along with him, without saying a word, and the group silently mixed in the crowd and left Yudu according to the plan.

Not far outside the city, You Tuyong had already ordered someone to prepare horses and pack up in advance and wait there.

A few people simply cleaned up, then each got on their horses and ran all the way to the north, and finally escaped from Yingzhou on the same day, and did not rest on the town on the other side of Huaihe City until nightfall.

This town and Huaihe City are only separated by a Huaihe River, the opposite bank is brightly lit, people come and go, there is faint music, laughter, singing and singing drifting with the wind, even the air is full of sweet and greasy fragrance, it is worthy of being the most prosperous city in Qi country. However, the town across the river has long been silent, and only the night returnees are walking in a hurry on the country road.

And this night was a little different from usual.
