Chapter Seventy-One: Sacrifice

Gao Zhen and Zhixin came to the lobby of the inn, and the napping Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Zhixin said, "Give us a pot of wine, two glasses, and the rest don't need to be greeted."

"Gotcha."

Gao Zhen doesn't drink often, looking at the wine in the cup and hesitating, Zhixin saw that he didn't drink, and thought that Luo Qingzhi wouldn't let him drink, so he hurriedly said, "If you don't want to drink, don't drink, you watch me drink."

"It's not." Gao Zhen explained, "It's not that I don't want to drink, it's just that I remember that my mother said before that my wine is not good, so let me drink less in the future."

Zhixin jokingly said, "Wherever you can go, you can drink as much as you want."

Gao Zhen poured a sip violently, and the feeling was hot.

At the other end, Zhixin said, "When I first arrived in Yuzhou, many people were dissatisfied with Ah Luo, thinking that she was young and her daughter's family, so she didn't give her a lot of faces."

Zhixin took a sip and continued: "At that time, the most heartfelt were the soldiers of the Luo family's mansion, one by two, all with the meaning of giving Luo Qingzhi a long face, whether it was training or going to the battlefield, they were very brave."

Zhixin paused for a moment and sighed deeply, "In the battle of Pengcheng, Ah Luo brought them, but in the end, she was the only one who came back alive......

"After Arlo woke up, he learned the news, and he didn't have any grief, just like today, calmly dealt with it, and calmly arranged......

Zhixin turned her head to look at Gao Zhen, "At that time, I thought that Ah Luo was cold and didn't care about this, but later, gradually, I realized that she not only gave her money to their families, but also kept paying tribute to them...... That life is like a mountain, and it has always pressed her."

"But." Gao Zhen said, "As a soldier, it should be like this."

"More than one person has told Arlo about that." Zhixin said.

She took a sip of wine, a little helpless, "Perhaps, this is what Arlo often says, Ci is not in charge of the army, these things may have long passed for others, but for her, it is difficult, difficult to ......."

Seeing that Gao Zhen's glass was empty, Zhi Xin refilled it for him and asked, "Do you know now why Arlo is like this?"

Gao Zhen didn't answer, Zhixin thought he didn't understand, and explained, "Ah Luo, she can't bear it, others sacrificed for her, you have to remember."

Zhixin left, Gao Zhen sat in the lobby, and poured the remaining wine into his stomach one by one.

The jar of wine is empty, but the heart is full.

In Gao Zhen's heart, there was only one name, "Luo Qingzhi."

He trembled and came to the second floor, and by instinct, came to Luo Qingzhi's room.

Gao Zhen knocked on the door violently, Luo Qingzhi was not asleep, she got up and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Gao Zhen pounced on her.

Luo Qingzhi held on to the door frame and barely caught him, and a thick smell of wine instantly filled the room.

She protected him with both hands, raised her foot to close the door, changed her position, and helped Gao Zhen to the bed.

The drunk Gao Zhen was already unconscious, he couldn't recognize the person in front of him, but he knew that she was a woman.

Luo Qingzhi's original intention was to widen his coat for him so that he could sleep more comfortably.

Gao Zhen immediately pushed her away and said, "Don't, don't touch me."

Luo Qingzhi was a little helpless, and there was some unknown annoyance in her heart, but she could only coax him and said, "Okay, then I won't touch it, you take it off yourself, okay?"

Gao Zhen glared angrily, "You, you, this bad woman, I'm Ah Luo alone, what, how can I take off my clothes in front of others."

Luo Qingzhi understood that Gao Zhen was already drunk and couldn't recognize people, and the little emotion just now dissipated instantly.

She lowered her head, approached Gao Zhen, and said softly, "Take a good look, who am I?"

Gao Zhen grabbed his collar tightly and approached Luo Qingzhi little by little.

Luo Qingzhi watched Gao Zhen approach unconsciously, the distance between the two gradually shortened, she instinctively wanted to step back, but Gao Zhen held her cheeks to prevent her follow-up actions.

"Got you."

After Gao Zhen finished speaking, he printed his lips, and Luo Qingzhi took a step back and separated the connected lip flaps.

Gao Zhen seemed unhappy, grabbed her arm, and dragged her towards him, and the two fell on the bed in a woman's position.

"Arlo, it's really not good, why do you always want to run."

"I didn't want to run." Luo Qingzhi said.

Gao Zhen shook his head, "No, you're running."

Luo Qingzhi avoided his gaze and said lightly, "You are drunk, you sleep here, I'll go to your house to sleep."

Gao Zhen got up and opened the distance between the two, and Luo Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Run." Gao Zhen suddenly came to this sentence, and Luo Qingzhi was a little dazed.

Gao Zhen continued, "No matter where you run, I will catch up with you." He finished and grinned.

Luo Qingzhi was stunned, feeling that she shouldn't say something when the other party was drunk, she got out of bed, walked to the door, and put her hands on the latch, but heard the sound of tearing cloth from behind.

She turned her head uneasily, and saw Gao Zhen tearing her coat, "You, what are you doing?"

Gao Zhen tilted his head and said, "This dress is really difficult to take off, and it is still easy to tear it."

Luo Qingzhi returned to the bedside and stopped him from further action, "I'll take it off, don't tear it again, I'm in a hurry to go out this time, and the money is almost used, but I don't have the money to buy you clothes."

"Don't." Gao Zhen shook his head, "I don't want you to buy it for me, I have my own money."

Luo Qingzhi didn't want to have money or no money with a drunk, she said, "Raise your hand, I'll help you take off your clothes."

Gao Zhen raised her hands obediently, Luo Qingzhi was concentrating on helping him take off his clothes, but when she arrived at the middle coat, she suddenly felt a little annoyed, "How did you get in."

"No, did you take it off?" Gao Zhen asked.

Luo Qingzhi swallowed her saliva and coughed lightly, "Take off the rest yourself."

"Okay."

Gao Zhen agreed very happily, and began to untie his middle clothes, and then his underwear, which had already exposed his white chest, Luo Qingzhi hurriedly stopped, "It's okay, it's okay."

Luo Qingzhi turned around and said, "Okay, so you can sleep too."

Gao Zhen nodded obediently, "Okay."

He was lying on the bed, Luo Qingzhi covered him with a futon, Gao Zhen breathed steadily, and finally fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Luo Qingzhi wrote to Jinling, informing Fan Li that Gao Zhen was in Ningzhou and asked him to rest assured.

She finished writing the letter, and the wind came in from the south.

Luo Yuzhi was still thinking about how Feng Zinan knew that he was in Gao Zhen's room, and when he looked at Gao Zhen, who came in slowly, he understood that Feng Zinan should have been to his room.

"Just in time, send this letter back to Jinling."

Feng Zinan took the letter with both hands and said, "Okay."

Gao Zhen looked like he had woken up, but he looked like he wanted to say something.

"You go first." Luo Qingzhi branch from the south.

Gao Zhen walked up to Luo Qingzhi and said apologetically, "I was drunk last night and robbed your room."

"I've taken your room, too." Luo Qingzhi quipped.

"Sister Zhixin told me about Pengcheng." Gao Zhen didn't want to avoid the topic, and continued, "I do, I don't like Qingshan, and of course, I don't like the other men around you."

Luo Qingzhi listened carefully.

Gao Zhen said, "However, I will not regret that I saved you yesterday and abandoned Qingshan. Even if I had to do it all over again, I'd still do it. You are more important to me than anyone else."

Luo Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief, and said calmly: "Although I hope that you have the world in mind, but I also understand such pain, I don't blame you."

"I hope you don't blame yourself, too." Gao Zhen said.

Luo Qingzhi lowered her eyes and did not speak.

Gao Zhen continued, "When I was in Pengcheng, those soldiers were voluntary, and Qingshan ...... Maybe I hope you're okay."

"When people are dead, how can we know that they do not complain?" Luo Qingzhi said.

Gao Zhen took her hand and placed her palm on his heart.

Luo Qingzhi felt the sound of Gao Zhen's vigorous heartbeat.

"I'm in the same state of mind as them, so I'm sure they did it voluntarily."

Luo Qingzhi's nose was sour, her eyes were moist, but she didn't shed tears.

Gao Zhen saw her forbearance and said, "Ah Luo, you are worth it, you are worth it, you are worth it, you are worth it, you are worth it, give everything, even if it is ......."

Luo Qingzhi covered his mouth, "Remember, everything, life is the greatest, I can't control them, but you have to remember, I don't want you to protect me with your life, understand?"

Gao Zhen nodded, blinking, just like the drunk last night.

Luo Qingzhi thought of what happened last night, relaxed her hand, and blushed.

Gao Zhen touched her forehead, "Why is it so hot, was it cold last night?"

Luo Qingzhi glanced at her face and said, "No."

Gao Zhen held her cheeks with both hands, just like last night, Luo Qingzhi's face was a little redder.

"I'm going to find Sister Zhixin."

Luo Qingzhi took his hand, "No."

Gao Zhen looked at the flush on Luo Qingzhi's face, remembering that when he woke up this morning, the torn clothes on the ground, a kind of doubt came to his heart.

"What did I do when I got drunk last night?"

Luo Qingzhi said lightly, "It's nothing."

Gao Zhen naturally didn't believe it, he took her hand and asked, "Did I hold your hand?"

"Nope." Luo Qingzhi said, pulling out her hand.

"So, I kissed you?" Gao Zhen continued to ask.

Luo Qingzhi got up, returned to the dresser, and pretended to fix her hair in a bun.

"I kissed you." Gao Zhen said affirmatively.

Luo Qingzhi looked at Gao Zhen in the mirror, she began to think about Qingshanjun's matter, she was guilty at first, but in the back, she was a little lucky, fortunately Gao Zhen chose to take her away, otherwise, how could Gao Zhen beat that group of well-trained guards, and even, would he himself ......

Gao Zhen looked at Luo Qingzhi in a daze, and suddenly had the idea of teasing, he leaned down and gradually approached her cheek, and when the warm lips kissed the still hot cheek, Luo Qingzhi came back to his senses.

"Is it a kiss's face?" Gao Zhen asked.

Luo Qingzhi looked at Gao Zhen with hot eyes, and did not deny or admit it.

"It doesn't look like a face."

Gao Zhen said, closed his eyes, and kissed her softly on the lips.

"This is it."
