"Let him go, there's no need to get along with the senators. Zi Chuan Xiu spoke out to persuade Di Lin. He took a step forward, took off the hat on his head, and stood in front of Zi Chuanning.

"Ahh

Zi Chuan Xiu bowed deeply: "It's been a long time, Miss is okay?" Although he had been expelled from the Zichuan family, he still called Zichuan Ning as before, and although his tone was serene, his pale face had already revealed the agitation of his mood at the moment.

Compared with the time of parting, Zichuan Xiu is taller, his shoulders are wider, and the soft facial lines that were slightly childish back then have been carved like knives by the years, and now he has the sè of wind and frost. What hasn't changed is that his eyes are still so bright and clear, and his gaze is like electricity.

Calm, straight, thin, handsome, he stood there, and his whole person was like a tall poplar tree, heroic. Handsome appearance, weathered calm temperament, mature charm, chic demeanor, and free temperament, compared to the cynical teenager back then, today's Zichuan Xiu is already a mature man who makes women fall in love.

In an instant, Zi Chuanning's face was as pale as paper. She stared at him blankly, heartbroken. The sweetheart she longed for was finally back, how she wanted to throw herself into his broad arms and cry bitterly, telling the pain after parting, the nights of those longings, and the loneliness of watching the moon set at dusk. Leaning on his arms, breathing in his breath, feeling the pounding heartbeat in his chest, the warm body temperature, extremely reassuring.

She heard her trembling voice asking, "Brother Axiu...... Are you okay?"

"Miss To, it's all right. Zi Chuanxiu reached into his arms and took out a small box, and handed it over with both hands: "This is a little gift I brought back to Miss You, I hope you can like it, just be right--" He paused for a moment, and said quietly: "--Right, be a congratulatory gift." ”

"What congratulatory gift?" Zi Chuanning was stunned for a moment, and then understood: "Congratulatory gift for the wedding." She tried to defend herself, but she couldn't say a word. Silently took the small box, opened it, and a dazzling circle of light appeared in front of him: in the box, a hard blue diamond shone brilliantly. This is a very rare high-purity blue diamond and is very valuable. In the past, she would have jumped with joy when she received such a valuable gift from Zichuan Xiu, but now, in his eyes, that priceless diamond was no different from a small stone.

"For the calamity you just encountered, Miss, Xia Guan is also deeply saddened. Please allow the lower officials to express their most sincere condolences to you, and I hope that Miss will be happy and strong. ――――It's not early, the lower officials don't dare to disturb Miss more, and please rest as soon as possible. I wish you a speedy recovery. Shikawa Xiu bowed deeply again, turned around and walked out. Di Lin followed him out.

"Brother Xiu!" Zi Chuanning chased out, and Zi Chuanxiu's figure paused.

Zi Chuan Ning said hesitantly: "The matter ...... Things are not what you think...... I...... I ......"

Zi Chuanxiu turned around and smiled gently: "A-Ning, I wish you happiness." He turned and strode out the door.

Di Lin looked at Zi Chuanning's crying face coldly, lowered his head and spat viciously on the gorgeous carpet of bronzing thread, and followed him out of the door.

Standing at the door and watching Zi Chuanxiu's back gradually move away, Zi Chuanning was sad for a while, and tears fell down in big drops. Although she didn't want to admit it, inside, she knew that she had made a mistake that she shouldn't have made. Looking at the empty doorway, she felt a pang of sadness, regretting her momentary weakness and confusion, and her heart was filled with deep guilt and guilt. Sadness came from the heart, and she cried loudly.

"Miss Ning. ”

Stirling's heavy voice rang out in his ears. Zi Chuanning raised his head, his eyes were hazy with tears: "Brother Stirling, you ...... Are you going to ignore me, too? But what did I do wrong? I know you blame me...... But...... But at that time, Brother Ah Xiu was not there, and everyone said that he was dead!"

Sterling listened quietly, his heart churning. She is neither Zi Chuanning's elder nor her boyfriend, so she is not qualified to teach her a lesson, and, strictly speaking, what has she done wrong? As she said, a nineteen-year-old girl, since her boyfriend has been missing for more than two years, is either treason or defection to the enemy, then what is wrong with her finding another partner? She has been waiting for two years, does she really want a girl in her prime to be widowed for the rest of her life?

He thought of Shikawa Shu again: a young warrior who fought alone in the face of a powerful and cruel enemy in a place far from his hometown and loved ones in order to defend his homeland. When he returned with brilliant achievements, he saw that the girl he loved had already thrown into the arms of others. Fate, how cruel you are to Zichuan Xiu!

Whose fault is this? It seems that no one is at fault, but the result is that the infatuated person suffers the greatest suffering in the world. Sterling felt a deep pain, and he remembered his reunion, love, and parting with Cardin. It is as if there is a god of fate, he is like a naughty child, always fond of playing tricks on those who love each other.

"Miss Ning," Sterling said slowly, "maybe you didn't do anything wrong. But, do you remember what happened on the night of February 15, a masked man, in order to protect you from falling into the hands of the Assassins, fought to the death with the Assassins, forgot his life, and resisted valiantly--do you remember?

Zi Chuan Ning looked at him with wide eyes, his eyes full of curiosity and puzzlement. She couldn't understand why Sterling was saying these things that seemed to have nothing to do with the present.

"That person is Ah Xiu. Sterling frowned in annoyance and turned to walk out. He didn't know how to say it, let alone how to face Zi Chuanning's tearful eyes. Behind him, Zi Chuanning's desolate cry sounded in the room.

"Those rìzi, you make a wish, and you will see each other in the future...... It has been many years since I held hands, and the vicissitudes of life ......"

Shikawa Xiu walked slowly through the streets of Dìdū, softly singing a song he had learned as a child. The sun after the snow was warm on his body, and the bustling flow of people passed by, and no one took a second look at this lost young fellow. He stood in the street, quietly watching this scene of qiē peace, at this vibrant man and woman, as if looking at people and things from another world.

Feeling that someone was walking behind him, Zichuan Xiu didn't look back: "Big brother?"

"It's me. Dilin walked up to him and looked at him quietly.

Zichuan Xiu's smile was bleak: "You let me go because you already knew about it7"

Di Lin Shen was calm and couldn't see any expression: "I've heard some rumors. ”

As early as half a year ago, the undercover agent arranged by the Supervision Department at Zi Chuan Ning's house had already reported to Di Lin: "Several well-known playboys are desperately pursuing Miss Zi Chuan Ning. ”

As soon as he received that report, Di Lin immediately knew that something was wrong. Because of the special status of the heir of the Zichuan Ning family, and the rare beauty, even an idiot knows: Whoever can marry this girl will definitely have great benefits. Those careerists will go to great lengths to flatter her and curry favor with her. Although Zi Chuan Ning inherited the blood and wisdom of Zi Chuan Yuanxing, she was well educated and formed her excellent character. But after all, she is still a woman, and Di Lin knows very well that the woman is born out of the vanity of love and weak-willedness. Compared with men, they think about problems with reason, while women think about problems by relying on feelings. They are easily attracted by something dazzling but worthless and meaningless: endless flowers, balls, gorgeous clothes, beautiful diamonds, gorgeous fireworks displays, endless sweet words, words of praise...... A girl who is not deeply involved in the world, where can she withstand the rhetoric of those veterans of the party?

Dilin knew about the crisis, but there was nothing he could do. Shikawa has been missing for more than two years, and everyone thinks he is dead or has defected. In the case that the lover is no longer there, Zi Chuan Ning, who has just entered the age of nineteen, is a girl's feelings, how can she endure this loneliness? After Zi Chuan Xiu appeared, Di Lin realized that the two of them must meet immediately. Even if they can't be together for the time being, as long as they know that Zi Chuan Xiu is still alive, Zi Chuan Ning will immediately throw those playboys aside like snot.

But he didn't expect that Zichuan Xiu would still come back too late.

"Ah Xiu!" Sterling hurried after him and grabbed Zi Chuanxiu: "You...... Are you alright?"

Zichuan Xiu smiled: "I'm fine." ”

"But...... This may be a bit misunderstood, Miss Ning also regrets it now, I think you should talk about it well--yes, calm down, talk about it well, things may have a turn for the better......"

"Sterling!" Di Lin roared in a low voice, "Don't have a bad idea! Do you still want Ah Xiu to hold the hands of the dog man and woman, and silently weep to wish them happiness?"

"But ......"

"Ah Xiu, remember, men must be strong and dignified, we are born to endure pain. Time will dilute a qiē, including those unforgettable feelings and memories. As long as you hold on, you'll be over!"

"Ah Xiu, Miss Ning always loves you, she is just confused for a while, she should be given a chance......"

Zi Chuanxiu stared blankly at the flow of people on the long street, ignoring the words of the two. The right amount of pain makes people chatter, but the real pain silences people. At this moment, Zichuan Xiu's mind has entered a realm beyond mortals.

Di Lin and Sterling are like brothers and sisters to themselves, but they can't understand their feelings for Zi Chuanning. Since childhood, I have been instilled with the belief: "Protect Zichuan, protect Miss Ning". At a young age, he once made a vow: "I will guard Miss Ning for the rest of my life." For him, Zi Chuan Ning's cunzài is not only his beloved girl, but also the purest idol in his heart, an inviolable god.

The love for Zi Chuanning is the belief in life that prompts him to struggle, and it is the whole of his life. In the bitter battles of the Far East, in those nights and nights of birth and death, he was supported only by this belief: "to establish a meritorious service that does not dishonor her identity, to be with her".

But suddenly, the earth cracked under the feet and the whole world collapsed. When she led the army to fight alone in the Far East and fought to the death against the demons, she threw herself into the arms of others. Yiqiē's dreams and aspirations, hopes and ideals, were ruthlessly shattered. Those majestic achievements and brilliant feats are no longer meaningful.

At this moment, Shikawa Xiu really felt the pain of Sterling when he lost Princess Cardin. It is difficult for him to compare, which kind of pain is deeper? The person who loves each other can only miss it silently in his heart when he is thousands of miles away, or does he watch his lover change his heart and throw himself into the arms of others? Sterling is luckier than himself, without Princess Cardin, he has another pillar, and that is his career, his allegiance to the ideals of the family. He buried all his pain deep in his heart and threw himself wholeheartedly into his career as a way to resolve his grief. And without Zi Chuanning, he is like a red-eyed gambler, with nothing.

The clouds that shrouded dìdū dorì had dissipated, and the warm sun peeked out from behind the snow. Seeing the long-lost sunshine in the winter, people were smiling and beaming with joy. There is a lot of traffic, and people come and go. The smell of barbecued meat came from the roadside restaurant, and a carriage passed by him, and the slush stirred up splashed him, and the sound of the carriage was so loud that the coachman poked his head out and grimaced at him, and shouted a few times, and a horse pulling the cart neighed, and the coachman's voice died out in the neighing of the horse. People are hurrying, and the unique atmosphere of the crowd is blowing in the face. The qiē in front of you is so real, and the breath of life is so vivid. In such a beautiful rì, there are people who can be sad, sad, and cry, what an incredible thing!

"It's snowing so much, and it's time for another harvest this year. Zichuan Xiu muttered.

Dilling and Sterling looked at each other, the same thought swirling in their heads: he must have lost his mind, right?

Zi Chuanxiu turned his head: "I'm going back to the Far East, and I'll leave the matter of supplies to you, Sterling." For specific things, Ming Yu, who is in charge of logistics, will contact you. ”

"Don't worry. Sterling nodded, a little uneasy, tentatively asked, "Well...... Are you alright?"

Zichuan Xiu smiled: "I'm fine." ”

The three of them walked all the way back to Di Lin's mansion and packed their packages and luggage. The two of them sent him all the way to the gate of the city of Dìdū, all the way without saying a word. It's snowing again.

"Well, let's break up here. ”

Di Lin nodded and said aloud, "Take care." Then he lowered his voice: "If the battle situation is unfavorable, flee back quickly." I will arrange for someone to meet you in Valen. ”

Sterling didn't speak, just looked at Shikawa Shu worriedly. He was too calm, unusually calm, and he was very uneasy.

Zi Chuanxiu solemnly thanked: "Thank you." Then take care of yourselves!" led the horse for a long distance, and when he looked back, the two figures were still standing under the city gate, looking at him from afar. Facing the figure behind him, he bowed deeply and whispered, "Thank you!"

From afar, they bowed to him in return.

Unconsciously, Zi Chuanxiu was already in tears. He rolled over his horse and galloped away in the direction of Rì. He always kicked his horse with his spurs, as if trying to escape the horror, sorrow, and pain that was chasing him from behind. The black horse galloped forward like a whirlwind, its mane fluttering in the wind, gasping for breath with difficulty, its nostrils wide open, and bursts of hot air. The horse ran faster and faster, and the cold wind with an icy breath blowing tears from the corners of his eyes made him feel refreshed. The scenery on both sides was moving back rapidly, and the speed of the wind excited him.

At that time, he heard Zi Chuanning crying, and he didn't look back at her because it wasn't necessary. Love is not obtained by pleading and pity, even if you have lost a qiē, but you still have dignity. He knew that he had left all his passion for life and his love for her at her feet. He believed that he would never be able to gain passion again, that he would never be able to burn the fire of love between men and women, that he would never be obsessed with fanaticism again. Now his state of mind is clear and cold, like the snow falling from the sky.

He said silently: Thank you, God, you have lifted the shackles of my jīng gods. Now, there's nothing to bind me anymore. At the age of twenty-two, I am already the King of Light in the Far East, the commander of the Far Eastern armies. Even the famous Liufeng Frost has never had such a large army, so many jīng sharp soldiers. With this army, he is about to sweep through the entire Far East, and he can seal the territory and tear the land, and be proud of the world! Such a stormy meeting, how can the deputy commander of the small Zichuan family hope in the past?
