Chapter 6 Departure

The green trees are thick and the summer days are long, the buildings are reflected in the pond, the water spirit curtain moves and the breeze rises, and the roses are full of incense.

Gao Yu's poem is very similar to the general's mansion in front of him.

The roses planted by my mother are now blooming brightly, adding a touch of color to the lifeless General's Mansion. I remembered that sentence, no one is good for a thousand days, and no flower is red for a hundred days.

A faint wry smile hooked up on his lips, now that things are wrong, how can I feel that the world is changeable.

Ziqian followed me silently, without saying a word, thinking that he felt that my current mood was extremely heavy, so he didn't want to disturb me.

I was thinking in my heart, since I was leaving, how to get rid of Ziqian who had been with me all the time. He has always been cautious, and it is not easy to slip out of his nose.

The wooden door of the main hall of the general's mansion in front of me was closed, and even I hadn't stepped into it for nearly ten years.

I looked back at Ziqian, who looked solemn, and said softly: "I remember that ten years ago, my family was destroyed overnight, from a noble lady to the daughter of a criminal minister, from the knees of my parents to an orphan without relatives, it only took one night. ”

He frowned slightly, and sighed for a long time, "Presumably that night was the most painful in your life!" ”

I chuckled a few times, then smiled, "That night naturally hurt me, and it hurt my heart." However, no matter how painful it is, it can't compare to the years in the palace, which is called pain. ”

Ziqian was saddened by my words, but he just smiled bitterly before he said, "I remember that year, I prevented you from entering the palace." Because I know that the emperor's love can only hurt, but you, love the emperor so deeply, even if my advice is reasonable, it still can't stop you. At the beginning, I should have sent you away from Anyang City, far away from the emperor. ”

I shook my head, "No, Ziqian, even if you send me far away, I'm sure I'll still come back." Because at that time, I had the feeling between me and the emperor in my heart, and I was so tenacious. But now, if I were given such a chance, I would have gone far and never come back. ”

His eyes suddenly lit up, but he was calm, "After going through so many things, it's not for you to get by." Zhen Luo, I have always regarded you as my sister, and I hope you can be happy. ”

"So, let me go!" There was a hint of pleading in my eyes, and it all fell on his face.

His body trembled, he was obviously stunned, and then raised a pair of brows, "Do you want to... Leave? ”

I bowed my head, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid of this palace." ”

But he didn't approve of my words, "You are not afraid of this palace, you are afraid of the emperor, and you are afraid of the love you are looking forward to, but you have become a sharp knife." ”

The originally calm heart turned into astonishment in an instant when he said this. Indeed, I am indeed afraid of Liuyun, he has failed our love, and he has also failed my deep love.

"I'm tired, I want to rest, I just want to be calm and live my life." Without any distractions, I spat out the words.

But he didn't answer again, in fact, I also know that if he lets me go today, Liuyun will definitely pursue it, even if they are like brothers, I can imagine how Liuyun will be furious when he learns that I am gone. Maybe he will be blamed again.

This is the emperor.

When angry, there is no trace of emotion.

I didn't have any hope for him to let me go, I just casually asked him if he was willing.

Turning around, I walked towards the dilapidated main hall. He just walked to the stone steps, but his heavy words sounded behind him, "If you really want to leave, I'll let you go!" ”

When I suddenly looked back at him, I was amazed, and I never thought that he would answer me.

He walked slowly towards me, because I was standing on the stone steps, and no longer raised my eyes to look at him, and my gaze was level, which made me uneasy, "What did you say?" ”

There was a slight smile on his lips, "I said, if you really want to leave, I'll let you go." Over the years, you have been in the palace, and I have watched my heart ache, watching you lose the very important person in your life, but there is nothing you can do. ”

As if touching the hurt feelings, I forcibly held back the tears in my eyes, and every time I thought of Haoxuan, Mu Ling, Xiyun and Yulan, I couldn't help but cry.

I laughed out loud, but it seemed like a relief, "Haoxuan's death, you also have a share." Today, we're even. ”

He lowered his eyebrows and was silent for a long time before raising a pair of eyes, "The death of the prince must have made you hate the emperor and me!" So, I don't want you to have anything to do with the emperor anymore. If you want to go, you should never come back. Green mountains and clear waters are your best destination. And as an older brother, I will bless you for a lifetime. ”

stared at him with a smile, and suddenly remembered the interesting things that happened when I first met him in Zichen Palace, and now I think about it, this can be regarded as a kind of fate! It's just that we are all bound by the palace, and no matter how much we resist, we can't get rid of the fate brought to us by the palace.

Now, I'm relieved, and I'm so happy.

"Thank you, brother!" It seemed to be a goodbye word, which made me a little reluctant to give up on him.

"Zhen Luo, can I hug you?" He spoke suddenly, not so much as asking me, but as a plea.

I was really shocked at that moment, because his request was so sudden, and for a moment, I didn't know how to respond.

Still thinking about it, he stretched out his arm, hugged me gently, leaned over my ear, and whispered: "Treasure! ”

Before I could react to his move, he had let go of me, and I looked at him, wanting to speak, but I didn't know where to start.

"Take good care of yourself, there is no Xiyun by your side." He whispered.

I bowed slightly, "It's naturally best to have Xiyun by your side, don't worry, Xiyun will always follow me, she once said that she would take care of me for a lifetime, how could she be willing to leave me!" ”

At that moment, what I saw in Ziqian's eyes was full of reluctance and reluctance, as well as extremely uneasy emotions.

But now, nothing is more important than my future happiness! That's why he's willing to let me go and pursue the life he longs for.

The taste of parting is always so uncomfortable, and once, at least there was a hope in my heart.

At that time, Liuyun had not yet become a prince, and my departure could help him succeed.

And now, there is no more concern in my heart, but I am extremely relieved.

Ziqian hired a carriage for me, saying that it was a good horse in the Flying Horse House in Anyang City, and the boss had a good relationship with him and would protect my safety all the way.

When he asked me where I wanted to go, I didn't answer him, and he didn't ask any more, but said, "Even if you don't want the emperor to know, at least let me know where you are." If I have the chance, I can go and see you. Even if it's far away, I can rest assured. ”

I looked up at the sky and muttered, "The peach is dying, scorching its bloom." ”

He frowned slightly, and thought thoughtfully for a while, in fact, he knew this place, and it was he and Xiyun who helped me pick up a life and send me to that place. It's just that after such a long time, he can't remember it for a while.

While he was still pondering, I snatched the whip from the groom's hand and swung it at the horse's body, and immediately the neighing of the horse was heard, and the forefoot leaped towards the sky, and hurried out of the city.

I looked back at Ziqian in amazement, waved my hand, and said, "Treasure!" ”

It wasn't until there was no longer a shadow of him in his eyes that he suddenly came back to his senses and burst into tears.

Thinking of going, thousands of miles of smoke waves, twilight is heavy and the sky is wide.

Summer rush is inevitably a little hot. When the scorching sun is headed, both horses and people are inevitably a little unbearable.

Lifting the curtain, the horseman who sent me away was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he looked very sophisticated, which made me very relieved, the person Ziqian was looking for must not be wrong, smiled, I said to him: "Have you seen the inn on the road?" ”

He nodded, not forgetting to look back at me, "I passed by a small town early in the morning, but I saw it." I've been walking for most of the morning now, and I haven't seen it. But don't worry, the girl doesn't worry, we often walk this way, and we will be able to get to Yangzhou City in two or three hours, and then we can find a good inn to rest. ”

I bowed slightly, "Look at your age, what's your name?" ”

"My surname is Zhuo, everyone calls me Xiao Zhuo, if the girl doesn't see it, she will call me like this." He smiled, revealing his white teeth.

I smiled back at him, "Okay, I'll call you Xiao Zhuo." After a pause, he raised his lips and said, "Are you familiar with Master Zhang?" ”

He was a little caught off guard by wielding a horsewhip in one hand and pulling a horse's rope in the other, and still having to deal with my questioning. But the moment I asked Mr. Zhang, his face shone brightly, "Mr. Zhang is a good person, he often comes to our stables to play, and he has a very good relationship with our leader." I adore him, he's a great general, he's a big man! ”

I couldn't help but laugh out loud at his words, and he looked back at me, a little puzzled, "Why is the girl laughing?" Am I not right? ”

Reaching out to brush the wind-blown hair on my forehead, I shook my head, "It's not that it's wrong, but I think it's just a little funny to hear someone praise him like this for the first time." Master Zhang is indeed a big man, but you worship him so much, why don't you join the army? But to be this groom? ”

He seemed to be stunned for a moment, his gaze changed from initial incomprehension to hot and thick, looked at me, and then said to himself: "Yes! How could I never have thought of that! Then he smiled happily, "The girl's words reminded me." After this trip back, we will definitely join the army. ”

I nodded slightly, lowered the curtain, and returned to the carriage to close my eyes. Thinking about that sentence is also my unintentional words.

It wasn't until dusk, when the sunset was red for most of the day, that we arrived at Yangzhou City, stayed in an inn in the city for the time being, and then hurried away tomorrow.

The journey to Taoyuan Village has been following Xiao Zhuo's route, but Ming'er, I have to change to a waterway, because after going through those things in the palace, I don't have much trust in anyone, and I am even more afraid that Ziqian will not be able to withstand Liuyun's anger and majesty, and will tell me where I will go.

Even though I know that such a situation is extremely difficult to happen, Yi Ziqian's character is as tenacious as he is on the battlefield!

That "peach is dying, scorching its bloom" is exactly what Taoyuan Village is talking about, but I don't plan to go there, since I want to go, I will go more decisively, I am not prepared to let anyone know where I am, the reason why I say this to Ziqian is completely to reduce the worry in his heart.

My departure should be regarded as a farewell, and I have no intention of seeing them again.

Because goodbye will only increase the sadness, it is better to not see it yet!
