"Sancheng?" When Huang Tianba heard this, his thick black eyebrows suddenly twisted.

"What's wrong?"

He thought silently for a long time, his twisted eyebrows slowly loosened, a trace of indifference flashed on his face, and he smiled: "It's nothing." This is already rare. ”

"Huh?"

"Between the outside and the inside, this is the choice he has to make." Huang Tianba's eyes were clear, and he said: "If the people in the south make any trouble for him at this time, this battle will be even more difficult to fight." ”

More? When I heard that, my heart beat wildly.

"Huang Ye, will this battle be difficult to fight?"

Huang Tianba nodded without hesitation.

"Although the royal family also entered the customs from the north, if Shengjing's cavalry was just a raid, of course it would be easy to dismiss, but after the battle had been fought for so long, it was obvious that Shengjing's people did not only plan to attack on a single line. Once they break through the first line of the Wind Tomb in the clouds, the north will be in danger. When the time comes, the cavalry will drive straight into ......"

My heart tightened suddenly, and I subconsciously grabbed his sleeve: "It won't be so fast, right?" ”

"......" Huang Tianba's thick eyebrows tightened and he didn't speak.

My face slowly sank.

After a while, Huang Tianba said slowly: "If he can survive this winter, maybe the situation will be better." ”

"Why?"

"The cavalry of the steppe is very strong, but the victory is surprising, once the battle is long, it is not strategy but grain and grass. If Pei Yuanhao can carry through this period of time, once the autumn comes, the supply of grain and grass is insufficient, and Shengjing will naturally have to retreat. As long as he retreats once, he will have time to strengthen the northern front, so that it will not be so simple for Shengjing to go south again. ”

"However, the people of Shengjing are afraid that it will not be so easy to stop."

"Yes, I just hope that he can carry this winter first."

I looked at the vast night outside, and said softly, "He won't let himself lose." ”

Huang Tianba turned his head to look at me, I also looked at him, and said meaningfully: "He is such a person, as long as he is determined, no matter how much it costs, he must succeed." He's not going to lose. ”

"......" Huang Tianba didn't answer, but was silent for a long time, and asked, "What about you?" ”

"Me?"

I was stunned by his sudden question, but it seemed that I immediately understood, and before I could say anything, I heard the sound of the rushing water on the other side and Liu San'er's incessant pleading, and couldn't help laughing.

Said softly: "In this way, it is good." ”

Huang Tianba looked into my eyes, was silent, and after a long while, he said softly, "It's okay." ”

“……”

"In a lifetime, it is merit to make a person laugh; In my life, it is a blessing to meet someone who makes me laugh. ”

I smiled, and Huang Tianba looked at me and smiled too.

As soon as she found me, Liu San'er began to think about Aunt Liu in her heart, I was also worried about her condition, coupled with Mu Hua's enthusiastic urging, after a day of rest, we planned to go back to Jixiang Village.

Huang Tianba didn't say anything, and asked the servant to set a carriage for us, and after sending Empress Yin and Liu San'er into the car, I also stood next to me and said to the two couples: "Thank you for taking care of you." ”

"Why should a young girl say such kind words?"

I looked at Mu Hua with a smile, and then turned my head to look at Huang Tianba, his face was still very calm, and said, "If you have made up your mind, come with a letter." ”

"Hmm." I nodded, waved goodbye to them, and got into the carriage.

This section of the road is not difficult to walk, but there is a patient in the car, a pregnant woman, also staggered for two days, and on the afternoon of the third day, the carriage stopped in front of the dilapidated courtyard of the Liu family under the surprised and envious eyes of the villagers of Jixiang Village.

It was quiet when I left, but this time I came back and made waves throughout Jixiang Village, especially when everyone saw my lower abdomen slightly bulging, and when Liu San'er carefully pulled off the carriage, they were all stunned, and the most surprising thing was that we also brought back a somewhat insane woman.

This incident made the entire Jixiang Village in an uproar.

However, this is the way things are in the world, although outsiders are noisy, but what is really in it is just indifferent. Aunt Liu saw us come back, happy that the illness was half cured, and I heard that Liu San'er picked up a beggar mother-in-law on the road and came back to take care of her, although she complained twice, but after all, she was only distressed about the child's hard work, and did not say more.

After a short rest, Liu San'er went out to thank the neighbors who had taken care of his aunt for a few days, and by the way, he went to the river to touch some fish, planning to eat a good meal at night.

At home, only me and Aunt Liu remained.

I washed a plate of fruit brought back from Huang Tianba's house, gently lifted the blue curtain, Aunt Liu was sleeping on the bed, as soon as she saw me, she immediately smiled: "Light." ”

"Auntie."

I walked over and helped her lean against the head of the bed: "Is it better?" ”

She smiled and nodded, maybe because she saw that we were all back, and her spirits were much better, her face was red, and she looked more bloody. Instead, she looked at me, reached out and touched the back of my bulging hand, and said, "You've lost a lot of weight." Along the way, I have suffered a lot. ”

I bowed my head with some guilt.

"When you go, Auntie understands, but when you come back, Auntie is even happier." As she spoke, she looked at my belly again and sighed, "It's been more than four months, and ordinary people have grown up in their bellies this month, seeing that you are still so young." ”

I looked down and touched my stomach and smiled slightly: "He is a hard-working child, and he will survive the most difficult times." ”

Aunt Liu smiled: "San'er won't let him suffer." ”

I was stunned for a moment when I heard this, and suddenly understood, and my face turned red all of a sudden.

Aunt Liu still held my hand, patted it gently, and said, "San'er can find you back this time, but I'm glad." But he said, "You still have to ask me, and you will not agree to him until I open my mouth." What are you asking me, Light Girl? The old woman is looking forward to you being a daughter-in-law, what can't you agree. Don't worry, I won't let him bully you. ”

Speaking of this, my mood sank slightly.

I thought about it for a while, and said solemnly: "Auntie, you once told me that San'er was entrusted to you by a scholar, so do you have anything on you to prove his identity." ”

When Aunt Liu heard this, she was stunned, and after a while she said, "You ask this, what are you doing?" ”

I said solemnly, "Please sue me." ”

This incident is fatal to me and to Liu San'er.

Although Pei Yuanhao has returned to Beijing now, I don't know whether he has completely given up and admitted the fact that I am dead, or just temporarily given up and needs to find me. I hope it is the former, as long as he gives up, as long as he accepts the fact that "I am already dead", then I will be reborn, I can love again, I can be loved, I can marry Liu San'er with confidence, be his wife, and spend the rest of my life with him.

But-

Every time I think of Pei Yuanhao, who once stubbornly kept me by his side, and even told me that even if I die, the body belongs to him, that kind of obsession that is almost crazy makes my heart dare not relax for a moment.

If, he didn't give up......

What if, he finds us......

If, he knows, that I have married someone else—

I don't dare to think about it, I don't dare to think about the consequences of that.

In fact, over the years, prison, torture, cold palace, torture, what women should experience and what they shouldn't experience, I have tasted them all one by one, in the end, the moment I jumped off the boat, I don't care, but I can't let Liu San'er be hurt a little, if I can't guarantee his safety, I must not marry him.

So, I had to find something that would prove his identity.

Liu Shizhou and Liu Yi have both made great contributions to Pei Yuanhao's recovery of the south, and Liu Li is also one of the few intimate concubines around him, if he can prove Liu San'er's identity, no matter how he treats me in the future, he will definitely look at his father, brother and sister, and will not embarrass Liu San'er.

Looking at my solemn appearance, Aunt Liu was silent for a while, and finally got up slowly, took out a small cloth bag from under the pillow, and handed it to me.

"Is this—?"

I hesitated for a moment, then slowly untied it, and saw that there was half a silk handkerchief inside.

It was torn, and it was a long time, the handkerchief was also a little yellow, but it was still very clean, and the face of the handkerchief was embroidered with black silk threads.

Aunt Liu said softly: "This is what was left by the scholar when he gave us the child." He was also poor and had nothing, so he took a handkerchief from his daughter's hand and tore it in half, half of which he gave to us and half of which he kept for himself. ”

It was a handkerchief taken from Liu Li's body.

I looked down and secretly understood in my heart that what should be embroidered on this handkerchief is Liu Li's "Li", and Liu San'er got three points of water, so the other half of Liu Li's hand should have a "Li".

The word "separation", the flesh and blood are separated, and they don't know each other.

I was holding the handkerchief, my nose was slightly sore, and my eyes were a little blurry.

Aunt Liu looked at me and said softly, "Light, what are you asking for?" San'er also knew about this thing, but he kept saying that he was not in a hurry to find it, so he never asked me. ”

I sniffed and said with a forced smile: "It's nothing, auntie, you take this, don't drop it." ”

"You're—"

Auntie looked at me suspiciously, but quickly put it away, and was about to say something, when she heard Liu San'er's cheerful footsteps and voice outside, and said as she walked: "Oh, auntie, don't pull me, I'll make soup for you when I go back." Lightness, lightness, look—"

I looked at Aunt Liu, I couldn't help laughing, I hurriedly got up and opened the curtain and walked out, and I saw Liu San'er pushing the door in, carrying a few boss fish in his hand, which were fluttering.

He came over with a smile: "Look, we weren't allowed to go down to the river to fish before, the fish in the river are so fat, let's have a whole fish feast tonight!" ”

I looked at his eyes with a smile crooked, as if he was infected, and my heart was sweet.

However, instead of laughing, I looked at the fish and deliberately shook my head, "It's too little." ”

"Huh?" He was stunned for a moment, looked at the fish, and then at me: "Less? There are only four of us, and there are three big fish here. ”

I brought the fish over, looked at him confidently and said, "It's only three fish, and you want to set up wine and marry a wife?" ”

“……”

He was completely stupid, standing there looking at me dumbfounded, even Queen Yin thought it was funny, poked his face with his hand, for a long time, I sneered, he woke up all of a sudden, his face was red with excitement, and he stammered: "Light, you-you mean-"

I blushed and smiled at him silently.

"You-you promised, promised to marry me?"

I originally wanted to tease him, but when I saw that he was so excited that he was about to finish his words, and I was also affected by such ecstasy, I trembled slightly, and only nodded solemnly.

The next moment, I was hugged into a warm embrace.

"Great! That's great! ”

His voice of surprise sounded above his head, and gradually, his nasal voice became heavier.

I was held in his arms, and those powerful arms wrapped around me tightly, obviously so powerful, but I felt a trace of irrepressible trembling; My face was pressed against his chest, and through the thin clothes, I felt his rock-like aura lingering around me, as if I could always rely on him and always feel at ease.

I stretched out my hands, wrapped my arms around his thin waist, and hugged him tightly.

I choose a new life for myself.

I choose you!
