Chapter 23: Quan Love
I poured a small amount of ecstasy juice into the wine I served to Zhuangzi, and let him sleep peacefully for the night, and guarded him in the military tent until dawn, when he gradually began to wake up.
He woke up staring at me for a long time, and the anger in his eyes never subsided, and at this point, I was ready to be punished by him.
He sat up slowly, rubbed his hands on the edge of the bed and lowered his head for a long time before he said softly: "Song Liu, for him, you don't hesitate to stop me." That person is Emperor Min Rong Chenxuan! ”
I was startled, a pair of eyes were very round, Siyu her? She... Did you betray me after all?
I shouldn't be surprised, because I already knew that Siyu had love for Zhuangzi, and for Zhuangzi's sake, she would definitely tell me who the person I cared about was. In this world, how can there be Xiyun.
"That's why you brought me with me unexpectedly, and you have a purpose, right?" I've always wondered why he took me on the expedition, even if he took me to see my former husband, how could he be sure that my husband would appear in the army of the Min army. Siyu, I'm afraid I've already told my story to Zhuangzi!
There was a faint sadness in his eyes, but he grabbed my hand suddenly, and my first reaction was to withdraw it immediately, but because his strength was too great, he couldn't do it, and a pain slowly came from his palm, and I frowned and said, "You scratched me." ”
Zhuangzi's expression froze, "Song Liu... No, Zhen Luo, your name is Zhen Luo, the daughter of the Chu family, the former general of Minguo. Rong Chenxuan's Concubine Chen, my Concubine Liu..."After a pause, his voice gradually disappeared between his lips and tongue.
I didn't let myself have too many expressions, just calm, "Now that you know everything, what are you going to do?" ”
His hand strained slightly, and there was another pain in his palm, and I frowned, trying not to make a sound.
He slowly let go of my hand, "I want to prove how important you really are to him." ”
"What do you want to do?" We stood up with a hint of horror.
A sneer rose on his lips, and his voice turned cold, "I remember that a few years ago, because Concubine Chen left, he became angry in the court and sent people around to find his Concubine Chen, I expected that this Concubine Chen's position in her heart was naturally very important. Now that four years later, I don't know if he still counts you as important, but I can test him. ”
My eyes gradually lit up with hatred, and I asked him tremblingly, "You want to use me to blackmail him, right?" ”
He was very annoyed by my question, and immediately stood up, "I would never use a woman as a bargaining chip for power, let alone a woman I love. You've been used and hurt by him again and again, and now you're still helping him, isn't it, from the day you knew I was going to attack Minguo, you had already figured out how to help him, didn't you? With the last three words, he added weight to his tone.
My eyes suddenly soured, and I couldn't hold back the tears overflowing like a tide, "Yes, I stayed for him, even if he used to treat me like that, I still can't let him go." It's me who is stupid, I'm stupid, stupid enough to be used by the people I love, stupid enough to be hurt by the people I love. ”
Zhuangzi was obviously stunned by my sudden change, and I didn't speak for a long time, but I continued: "I poisoned your wine yesterday, and my purpose is to prevent your sneak attack from succeeding. I'm going to make amends to the soldiers now, so that they can all know what kind of person I am and how I can sabotage your plan..."As I spoke, I ran out of the tent, but he grabbed my arm alive, "I was unwell last night, what do you have to do with it!" "I know that he is still worried about me, and once this matter is known to the soldiers, my life will be in danger for the great crime of sabotaging the military situation.
Slowly, he let go again, "Ten days later, I will have a duel with him, and I will take you with me, not to use you to contain him, but I want to know how heavy your position is in his heart." I will never let go of you. ”
Looking at him suddenly, Zhuangzi's expression made me a little unable to understand his thoughts, his words, did they come from the heart, or did they have ulterior motives?
Naturally, on that day, everything will be known.
The dragon roared and the sword roared in the air, and the prancing horse galloped.
The wind is strong, the bow is vigorous, and the mountains are shaking.
Ten days later, when I followed Zhuangzi's army to the endless plain at the foot of Liupan Mountain, the army led by Liuyun was already not far from us. On the wasteland, I finally met the man I had always seen but dared not see, he was very conspicuous in the army in a silver battle robe, his awe-inspiring color had not changed, sitting arrogantly on a black horse, and the domineering spirit of the king exuded from his body made him look terrifying.
It's been four years, nothing has changed, the only thing that has changed is our feelings.
I no longer choose to run away, and I can't run away. Although Zhuangzi said that he would not take advantage of me, in fact, bringing me here was already a kind of use. At this moment, I still hope that Liuyun's feelings for me are not as good as before, and my appearance will no longer have any impact on him.
When Zhuangzi gave the order, the white horse I was riding slowly stepped forward. When I appeared next to Zhuangzi, Liuyun's eyes were fixed on me. Time is really better, it's been four years.
For four years, we have been worn by time.
Just let us look at each other, and my horse was led back to the back line by the soldiers. At that moment, I saw uneasiness and anxiety in Liuyun's eyes. And my heart was also unbearably uneasy because of the uneasiness in his eyes.
I can no longer see everything on the front line, nor can I see the clouds, I can only hear their conversations.
"My concubine, how can I be with you?" The sound of flowing clouds first sounded over the open field.
"She is your concubine and my concubine." Zhuangzi replied to him steadily.
After that, the sound of the flowing clouds stopped ringing out.
At this moment, he must think that I betrayed our love, and he must think that I am the real concubine of Zhuangzi. In fact, Zhuangzi and I have always gotten along like friends, and I have never turned my back on my feelings for Liuyun.
I could only hear the sound of horses' hooves, and there was a sense of imminent tension when I stepped on the field.
"Give her back to me!" Liuyun's voice was a little heavy, mixed with the domineering spirit that a king should have.
"If I want her back to you, then you will come and take her away yourself." Zhuangzi's words made me stunned. In a moment, the voices of the soldiers of the Min army sounded in the air, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" You must not pass, this is a conspiracy that will kill you..."
These words finally made me unable to suppress the worry about Liuyun in my heart, he couldn't come, and he must not let him come. Holding on tightly to the reins of the restrained horse, I ran all the way to the front line, silently muttering in my heart: "Liuyun, don't come!" ”
It was as if it had been planned in advance, and no one stepped forward to stop me, nor did anyone catch up. When I stopped at the front line of the Azurium Army, Liuyun had already approached the Arcane Army three feet away alone, his eyes always staring at me, and at that moment, he completely forgot everything around him.
"Whoosh..."I heard a powerful sound of a broken bow in the air, and the sharp arrow flew straight to Liuyun's chest, and he always kept looking at me, and he didn't even dodge.
I yelled at him, "Drifting clouds, dodge!" But my cry distracted him, and perhaps too late, the arrow went straight into his chest.
Blood flowed down the straight arrows.
"The Emperor's !!" The soldiers of the Min army screamed heartbreakingly, and they all rushed forward. The two armies were on the verge of breaking out, and the soldiers rushed forward like a torrent, and all that sounded in their ears were the sound of murderous anger and the sound of swords and halberds. The trumpets were in the sky, the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere, a life-and-death battle began, and the smell of blood washed away the entire plain.
The cold breath and the pain of sorrow spread through me, and my heart felt like it had been stabbed by something, and the colic made me very uncomfortable. Watching Liuyun retreat to the rear surrounded by the soldiers, his mind suddenly went blank, and his eyes were covered with tears that he couldn't stop.
I only felt a weakness all over my body, and my body swayed on the horse's back, and finally, I collapsed.
When I regained consciousness, I was back in the tent. He sat up suddenly, and what appeared in front of him was the bow and arrow, which shot straight into Liuyun's chest, and the bright red blood.
"Flowing clouds... I'm going to see him..."I stood up from the edge of the bed, my body was a little weak and I couldn't stand on my feet, Zhuangzi held me tightly, and said to me over and over again: "You lie down first, don't be so anxious. ”
"He was shot, it was you, it was you who killed him..."I yelled at him, tears welling up in my eyes again, "I now know that you deliberately arranged all this in order to distract Liuyun, arranged for me to appear in front of Liuyun's eyes, and arranged those meaningless words. If he dies, the Min army will definitely be in chaos, so you can be sure that you will end this war early and achieve a brilliant victory, right? Whoever said that you would not take advantage of the woman you love, you are lying..."
"Song Liu...," he called out to me in a low voice, his tone very subdued, "I just wanted to prove how important your place in his heart is, and in fact I got the answer." It also confirmed my suspicions that he could be absent-minded in such a situation. I'm scared of losing you, I'm scared of our three-year covenant coming to an end... I'm afraid..."
Looking at him with teary eyes, I shook my head firmly at him, "I want to see him, I want to return to him, no one can stop me!" "For the first time, I behaved so strongly in front of Zhuangzi.
I must return to Liuyun, I want to know if he is still alive and well.
Zhuangzi's body stiffened, his hands fell vertically, he looked very weak, and his voice was a little painful, "I won't let you leave me half a step, the time for us to meet has not yet come!" ”
"You've taken advantage of me, and Liuyun has been injured, what else do you want?" I raised my eyes and asked him, unable to hide the grief and indignation in my heart.
He deliberately avoided my gaze, "But, he's not dead!" ”
"Haha~~~" I laughed sadly twice, "If he dies, your plan will be successful, Zhuang Jing, I won't let you hurt him, never!" "For the first time, I no longer called him Zhuangzi, but called him by his first name, Zhuang Jing.
I didn't expect to say this to Zhuangzi, but it also confirmed my own eagerness to return to Liuyun. Zhuangzi looked at me in obscurity, as if our relationship and friendship over the years had vanished in an instant.
"I'm not going to let you go." After we were all silent for a long time, he spoke first. Perhaps he didn't want to face me, but as soon as he finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left, leaving me alone in the military tent and unable to recover for a long time.
