Chapter Eighty-Five: Life and Death Protect Each Other and See Affection
The weather was clear in the morning, but now it is full of dark clouds. On the way, the three of us were silent, and the atmosphere was gloomy and heavy, like a gloomy sky, so that the guards were silent, not daring to make the slightest noise. It wasn't until I entered the city that I finally had time to leave.
I was covered in blood, my hair was glued together with blood, and I didn't care about the doctor's explanation, I wiped my body vigorously, and washed it three or four times before I finally cleaned it up.
I sat silently at the dresser, looking at the pale and pale face in the mirror, and I couldn't feel at ease. I thought that after leaving the capital, I would say goodbye to Ling Haoxuan and be fine, but I didn't expect that I would still walk in front of him after going around and around. After experiencing the life and death protection just now, how could I deceive myself again, there will never be any intersection between us again......
The sword he had just tried to block for me in the mountains and forests came to my eyes, and at that moment, I could see in his eyes that he was resolute and unhesitating, and I had never questioned his feelings for me, just as I had carefully examined my feelings for him, but I had made a choice, and, after I had taken that step, I never wanted to return myself to that delicate cage.
I sighed faintly, and finally lowered my eyes......
Now that they had recognized me, I had no need to change my appearance, so I changed into a white dress and simply pulled my hair together, like an ordinary teenager.
When I arrived, the two of them were already sitting in the main hall, and there was an indescribable silence in the air that I did not want to break, but I had to step into it.
Ling Haoxuan saw me first, he was stunned for a moment, and wanted to say something, but a thousand words were condensed on his lips, and finally turned into an inaudible sigh. I looked at Hao Qian, he was looking up at me, with a bitter smile on his lips, as lonely as ice and snow, but it made me feel so distressed.
The table was full of delicacies, but neither of them moved their chopsticks, I took a look, only to find that there were three sets of utensils on the table, and I went to sit silently.
The meal was tasteless, Ling Haoxuan seemed to have finished asking all the questions he should have asked, and he didn't say a word, but his eyes looked at me quietly, leisurely like water, and his eyes seemed to penetrate the joys and sorrows of this watery year, and the past was like flying. I ate this meal like pins and needles, and I only ate a few bites before putting down my chopsticks.
I looked down at the sound of the "bell", but found that both of them had dishes and planned to put them on the plate in front of me, but the chopsticks touched together, and both of them were stunned and looked at each other awkwardly. I hurriedly said, "I'm full!" Let's go out for a walk first, and you can eat! ”
At this moment, the dark clouds had dispersed, the sky was high, and even the cold wind became warm.
I stood in the courtyard, suddenly became a little interested, and took out the purple jade flute I had brought with me.
"The wind and clouds are changing, and the turbulent times are turbulent
Fighting the stars and moving a battle of ten thousand bones
Beacon fire up to the West Building
The sun is twilight
The lonely city is long and the sunset is dark
The iron cavalry stomped on the Yanmen Pass
The border looked west at the war company
Bing Xin swears to break the long night
Guanshan swept the reversible sky
The country is picturesque
The scenery is in the past
Know
Wolf smoke is everywhere
Soldiers step on mountains and rivers
Murderous in the sky"
At the end of the song, I turned back gently, and Ling Haoxuan was standing at the door of the main hall looking straight at me. He is really an awkward and stubborn person, and his sharp eyes are covered by the eyelids, and his distinctive features are more and more prominent. I think he must have heard what I meant, his lips pursed slightly, and he looked over calmly, his gaze was so gentle, but there was a faint trace of sadness and helplessness that could not be concealed.
Hao Qian got up, didn't say a word, just walked out silently, he didn't even look at me, I think, he didn't want to put any pressure on me.
Ling Haoxuan silently walked out of the courtyard and stood with me on the stone bridge by the lake, the breeze blowing slowly and rustling the hem of my clothes. The sky was empty, the clouds were sparse, and the faint sunlight sprinkled on the ground, like a pool of clear water in the breaking of ice.
Ling Haoxuan was very calm, the sun shone on his body, and there was a bright brilliance. We looked at each other calmly, without a word, and the sand in the leak passed little by little, until a bird rose from the branches, disturbing a pool of spring water, and the ripples were faint, and we suddenly woke up.
"Is it decided?" He spoke suddenly, his eyes bright, and his smile free.
I've never seen him smile so sunny and pure, I suddenly let go of all the past, I smiled softly, reflecting that calm and beautiful: "It's decided!" ”
He smiled faintly: "I'm waiting for you in the capital!" For your triumphant return to catch the wind and wash the dust! ”
"Good!"
I smiled, at that time I didn't know why he agreed to let me go so simply, and later, I realized that when he saw me trapped in the capital and hurt myself again and again, after seeing me free and easy in military uniform, he finally decided to let go......
The moonlit night was cold, but the breeze was still warm, blowing in through the gap in the temple gate, rolling up the milky white cigarette in the incense burner, circling carefully, tossing and turning leisurely.
The night is quiet and reassuring, I sat behind the bookcase, the ink marks from the rice paper silk, suddenly saw a gust of wind blowing, raised a corner of the rice paper on the table, as if there was a ripple, the end of the pen suddenly slipped, a thick ink along the curve that did not belong to it was drawn out, I frowned slightly, a hand has reached over to the side, took a paperweight to press the corner of the roll.
I raised my eyes and looked over, it was Hao Qian. He had just showered and changed his clothes, and his body was calm and refreshing.
He was silent, his eyes fixed on my painting, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"What is this?" His face was strange and a little funny, as if he wanted to ask, but he was afraid that he would make me angry.
The painting as a whole is roughly sketched with a few strokes of ink, without any detail, and looks ethereal and vague. At first glance, it looks like a car, but not exactly like a car, but in all seriousness it is just a wheeled plank carrying a black tubular object on it.
I was a little discouraged, picked up the wolf's hair, dipped it on the inkstone a few times, and continued my masterpiece.
Seeing that I ignored him, he did not complain, and stood by my side silently, waiting for me to finish painting.
At the moment when I put the pen away, he finally couldn't help but speak again: "Ruo'er, what is this?" ”
I straightened up, looked at it for a moment, smiled with satisfaction, and raised an eyebrow at him: "This is the cannon I designed, how about it?" Looks domineering, right? ”
His eyes lit up, and his eyes were clear and transparent.
"Before, the stone throwers we used were all single-shot, and then I improved it, it can be fired continuously, but, after all, the lethality is limited, the gun I designed this time can make gunpowder into shells and put them in the artillery, as long as the latch is pulled, it can be fired, and its lethality is far better than that of the stone thrower." After speaking, I looked at him proudly, and the end of the pen swiped along the barrel of the cannon: "Look! This is the barrel, made of pure copper, which is used to give the projectile muzzle velocity and flight direction, the tail of the gun is used to install the bolt and connect the barrel with the anti-recoil device, and the bolt is used to lock the gun chamber, load, and fire the shell. I saw that he listened attentively, and his interest was a little higher: "This is a gun mount, which is mainly a device that forms an elastic link between the running body and the gun frame. ”
"Sounds good! Ruo'er, how can you have so many strange thoughts in your head! If it is really used on the battlefield, it can naturally get twice the result with half the effort, and the power is endless! The smile in his eyes grew, "It's just, how to make it, have you thought of it?" ”
I was a little discouraged, lying on the bookcase and complaining helplessly: "It would be nice if Chen Yunmo was here, I don't need to worry about these at all!" ”
He chuckled and stroked my long hair: "Just find a way to get Chen Yunmo here!" It also saves you from worrying about everything. ”
My eyes lit up and I exclaimed, "Really? If that were the case, it would be much easier to do a lot of things! ”
He smiled and nodded, looking at my face with satisfaction.
"Click!"
The sound was extremely subtle, like a night bird stepping on a broken branch and leaf, his pupils shrank slightly, and his body shot backwards like a long arrow.
Immediately after that, the sound of the fight came, the move was as fast as lightning, bringing gusts of wind, I rushed out, in the face of Hao Qian's aggressive attack, the man in black had already shown defeat, and his body was becoming more and more reluctant. It's just that my doubts haven't gone at all, although the man in black is wrapped all over, I vaguely feel that this figure has been seen before, and sure enough, Hao Qian also noticed it, stretched out his hand and hooked, and the black face towel fell to the ground......
"It's you?!" Exclamations came out of his mouth in unison.
In front of him, it was Yue Peining! Her always delicate and delicate face was tired, her eyes were red and misty, and the dark circles under her eyes from days of running around were faintly emerging, and her cheekbones were becoming more and more pale......
"Why are you here?" Haoqian frowned at her, her face was solemn.
However, in response to him, she rushed towards my figure almost in a frenzy.
"Why? Why are you here? "She shot wildly, out of order.
I signaled Hao Qian not to stop her, to put it mildly, not to attack, just to maneuver, within a moment, she was out of breath, and finally found that she couldn't speak with me, for a while, desperate she suddenly withdrew her hand, squatted on the ground and cried.
I was used to seeing her arrogance, and suddenly I saw her showing weakness, somewhat uncomfortable, standing awkwardly on one side, not knowing what to do.
The courtyard was already full of guards, and Hao Qian didn't want to alarm others, so he waved his hand, and the courtyard returned to calm.
He looked at me, frowned and walked up to her, and waited until the end of her crying gradually calmed down, and then said coldly, "Why are you here?" ”
"Why?" She stood up suddenly, her tone as cold as ice: "Why am I here?" She repeated Hao Qian's words, and her voice suddenly rose: "Don't you know why I'm here?!" ”
Hao Qian sneered and asked, "Why should I know?" Did I invite you here?! ”
Hao Qian has always been gentle, I have never seen him like this, my heart was raised, and I couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the woman in front of me.
"And what about her?" Yue Peining pointed at me: 'Why is she here?' Did you invite her? ”
She clearly knew my identity but was so aggressive, and sure enough, Ling Haoqian's face turned a little colder: "You don't need to know this!" ”
She couldn't get the answer she wanted, so she turned to look at me in a terrible voice: "Why are you pestering Brother Haoqian?" Why don't you let him go anywhere? Don't you know who you are? Do you want to kill him? ”
I have to say that her questions touched my pain points, and I was speechless, indeed, no matter what, as the queen, I went out of Beijing to Hao Qian's side without permission, no matter how I argued, it was a big crime to punish the nine clans. I felt a pain in my heart, if it weren't for Ling Haoxuan not being investigated, I'm afraid that Hao Qian and I would not be able to escape responsibility. I deeply reflected on myself, when I left Beijing in anger, I didn't think about what kind of trouble I would bring to Hao Qian's side if I came willfully......
I obviously didn't say a word, but Hao Qian seemed to see my thoughts, his face became even more ugly, and he stared at Yue Peining coldly: "Shut up!" Instead, he spoke: "Zhuo Zhan! ”
"In!"
Obviously, he had just left, but he appeared in front of us for the first time.
"Immediately send Yue Peining back to Beijing!"
"Yes!" Zhuo Zhan waved his hand competently, and two people appeared beside him, neatly holding down Yue Peining's arms and pulling her out of the door.
"Brother Haoqian! Brother Haoqian! I'm not going! I don't want to go! Don't drive me away! Yue Peining's mournful cry came: "Brother Haoqian, she will kill you!" It's going to kill you! ”
The epilogue came from outside the courtyard, and I stood there silently, looking in the direction of the courtyard gate, for the first time, for my own willfulness and selfishness......
