Lu Chongguang came early the next morning, saying that he had received news last night that a large number of ships had stopped in Quanzhou last night, and the ships were empty, but the fleet of dozens of ships stopped in Quanzhou and did not move for a long time.

As soon as Xing heard the news, his original hesitations and worries were swept away, and he strengthened his determination again.

However, although it is very likely that the appearance of that batch of ships will be prepared for the next batch of grain and grass, it is unknown whether they will continue to use this waterway to transport grain, or when the next batch of grain and grass will be transported.

On the other hand, the previous batch of goods has been transferred out one after another, and the ships in Quanzhou have not yet returned, so that almost all the more than 100 ships of the Salt Gang have gone out, and the entire wharf seems empty.

The soldiers and horses did not move, the grain and grass went first, and the batch of grain and grass just a few days ago was only enough for the army for a month at most. Now that the army has arrived at the front line, the follow-up grain and grass are bound to follow, and the character of the dead should not give up this convenient waterway, but it will never rely only on this waterway, the most afraid is that the water and land alternate when the time is true and false, after all, such an opportunity can only be once, once the failure to startle the grass, there will never be a chance again.

Although as long as you wait in Huaihe quietly, there will definitely be a chance to start, but what is most lacking in punishment at the moment is this kind of waiting time.

But there is no other way to do this except waiting, and I have wasted several days in vain, and I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd.

There was no progress in the matter of grain and grass, and there was no news of Yan.

Yue originally had tens of thousands of people in her heart who didn't want Yan to come back, but she and Haoyu already had old friends, and this time Haoyu helped the punishment regardless of the danger, how could she open that mouth.

Reluctant and unable to refuse, he could only listen or ask, pretending not to know about it.

Fortunately, since that night, Xing has never played the piano again, but just put Mo Yi in the room.

Although Yue didn't mention it, she couldn't help but be curious in her heart, Yan was obviously still alive, and she must have noticed the call of punishment, but she never responded.

Could it be that she has really let go completely, and even feels redundant to come back to see her?

Or did she simply close her consciousness completely, and she no longer wanted to be involved with the old people?

But in the dark, Yue always felt that she would definitely come, because it was not someone else who summoned her, but someone she had loved for thousands of years and even thought that she had been killed by her own hands, but she came back.

Even if the love and hate of the past have dissipated and she doesn't want to look back, is she really willing to come back and see with her own eyes if he really came back alive?

In the past two days, Xing just played chess and drank quietly, and even accompanied Yue and Qi Su to Huaihe City for a walk.

However, Yue could see that his mood was far from being as relaxed as it seemed, but was getting heavier and heavier day by day.

Since that day, no news has come, whether it is Qi or Beiguo, there is no movement of grain and grass, and there is no news from Hu Da, Hu Er, Xueyan and even Haoyu and Qi Zhen.

The Zhenbei Army has been stationed in Sangyu and has not moved, but Han Yi has disappeared again.

The last time he disappeared, Sang Yu defected and Hu Er was imprisoned, so what about this time?

Although Hu Da went back with his handwritten letter, as long as he didn't return to the north for a day, it was hard to guarantee that there would not be a second Sang Yu who would be provoked by Han Yi to regenerate his rebellion.

What's even more passive is that there is no one available at the torturer's side now, and he can't even find out which one Han Yi is still involved in.

The current situation, while not completely out of control, has become a clear disadvantage.

Although this disadvantage is not obvious at the moment, it is a master game, and every mistake is lost.

The beginning is already so passive and embarrassed, if you can't use the matter of food and grass to recover this half-step disadvantage, then this half-step disadvantage is very likely to multiply in the hands of the dead and it is difficult to recover.

Others may not be aware of the disadvantages of this half-move, but how can the chess player not see the benefits and disadvantages.

Xing desperately wanted to rely on the Huaihe incident to win back a game, but he must be calculating how to turn this half-step advantage into one step or even dozens of steps.

At present, the best chance to recover this half-step disadvantage is the grain and grass of the Huai River, but this matter is not going well, how can the punishment be easy. But no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't show half of his face. As a general, even if the soldiers are in the city, they must not have the slightest sense of cowardice and panic. Otherwise, the heart will be confused for five points, the army will be in chaos for ten points, the army will be in chaos, and the defeat will be determined by itself.

At the time of the big event, Yue really couldn't sleep well these days, and the great war thousands of years ago was always recalled in her mind repeatedly.

How long has it been since you dreamed of that big battle? Before she regained her memory, she often dreamed of vague and incomplete images, but after recovering her memory, she never dreamed of the great battle again, or she herself did not want to think of it again.

When she was awake, she didn't want to think about the great battle, and when she fell asleep, she couldn't help but dream about it, even more clearly and concretely than she remembered.

It turns out that everything is not irretrievable, although he is extremely talented and scheming, but if he does not blindly connive and soft-hearted, how can he fall deeper and deeper into an irretrievable situation.

At the end of the dream, there was an overwhelming amount of blood and a fishy smell rushing to the face. Yue suddenly woke up from the nightmare and lay on the bed unable to recover his senses. I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly felt chills all over my body, only to realize that I was in a deep nightmare, and I broke out in a cold sweat and soaked my clothes and bedding. Looking up at the window, I felt that the night was dark, and I didn't know what time it was.

Yue was completely sleepless, and his body was sticky and uncomfortable, so he got up and changed into clean clothes. I wanted to go out to breathe, but when I opened the door, I saw the torturer sitting in the courtyard pouring himself a drink.

"Awake?"

"What time is it?"

"It's almost dawn."

"Haven't slept all night?"

Xing didn't speak, just poured a full wine glass and placed it opposite him.

"But what's wrong?"

"It's no big deal, this is the wine left by Mr. Yong?"

"There are only a few jars left, and I won't be able to drink them anymore."

There were two empty altars on the table crookedly, and the last altar was already poured by the torture party, and he was full of alcohol, it stands to reason that he should have been drunk, but his eyes were still clear. Yue sat down, took a sip of the wine placed in front of her, and was silent for a moment before speaking.

"I dreamed of that great battle again, and it had never been so clear, in fact, there were many signs before it, but I never took it to heart."

"It's his own choice, it's none of your business."

"I've always treated him as a younger brother, and I'm used to pampering him and giving him whatever he wants. Until one day he asked for something I couldn't afford, but I still didn't want to refuse him ruthlessly, for fear of hurting him, but in the end it caused irreparable consequences. ”

"It's come to this, it's possible to solve it except to face it, it's not helpful to be stuck in the past, you can't be a deserter in front of me."

"Well, that's what I persuaded Qi Su to do. The past is irretrievable, but there is still a long way to go. I keep persuading others, but I can't do it myself, isn't that a big joke. ”

"You..."

"When the day comes, you will go back to the northland. I'll do it for you. ”

“。。。 The battle of Yudu can still be regarded as you had to break with him in order to save me, but if you interfere in the affairs of the Huai River, it is equivalent to completely standing on the opposite side of him, and there is no room between you, can you really think about it? ”

"There's never room between us, it's because I've always wanted both, and no one wants to let it down. But in the end, it hurts others and hurts oneself, and no one can do it. After this trip to life and death, and then looking at Qi Su's matter, I finally figured it out. The evil consequences that I have sown must be cut off by myself, and I can no longer escape them. ”

"Actually, I...

"You're going to clean up for me, and you've always been the one you've been cleaning up for me, but I don't want to hide behind you all the time, and I want to fight with you again, just like I did a thousand years ago."

Xing was silent for a long time, in fact, he was not surprised that Yue would make such a decision, after all, this is the only woman in the world who can fight side by side with him, and no one knows her intelligence better than him.

Even in the dark, he had long thought that she would make such a decision sooner or later, and now it seemed as if everything was just settled.

She finally made a decision, and he was very pleased, but more of an indescribable reluctance and melancholy. He seemed to have a lot of words in his heart, but in the end he didn't say anything, just silently drank the last pot of wine left by You Tuyong.

The flask was empty, and a glimmer of light tore through the deepest darkness before dawn.

Xing Yi raised his head and drank the last glass of wine, then put down the wine glass heavily, stood up and walked to the opposite side and hugged Yue tightly.

"I'll wait for you in the Northland."

"Be careful."

"Lu Chongguang is credible, let him help you, just say that you believe in you as me, he won't disobey."

Xing hugged Yue tightly, and did not let go until the light on the horizon completely cleared the darkness.

"There will be no one else but you. So it was, so it is, and so it will be. We said okay, we'll get married when it's over, and don't let me down again this time. ”

"Yes!"

Yue nodded heavily, and Xing took one last look at her, and finally walked out of the courtyard.

Yue kept looking at his back, gradually blurring his vision, until he could no longer see, and then Yue sat back at the stone table.

The wine glass on the opposite side was empty, but there was still most of it in front of him.

In fact, she didn't drink alcohol before, especially the wine that she loved to drink, it was always spicy and strong, where is the wine that girls should drink.

However, after following him for thousands of years, I unknowingly fell in love with such wine.

Intense, flamboyant, just like his people.

Someone once said that how did he, the master, be a master, and how could he give such a drink to a half-old girl, but he just laughed wantonly and never cared about her.

She is used to dying without principle, and the punishment is no different for her, but in the end she falls in love with the person who is used to her.
