Chapter 22: Make a Promise

She opened her eyes suddenly, and saw that the world in front of her had been replaced by a touch of black, and he was intently tying the strap around her neck.

Seeing that she looked at herself with some surprise, Su Jingqian chuckled and said, "It's autumn, I saw that you were wearing thin clothes, so I asked Zishu to fetch my cloak, you can make do with it." ”

"Are you ......" Lin Wanwan's eyes moved, and she looked away and asked softly, "You're not angry?" ”

"How can you not be angry? You know that if you succeed in getting them to bring the news back tonight, all my years of planning will be in vain. ”

Su Jingqian stared at her with a smile, and complex and subtle emotions flashed in the depths of her eyes, which were deep meanings that she could hardly detect.

He changed his words, as if he was a little helpless, "But, somehow, suddenly, I was not so angry." ”

He smiled lightly, but only he knew that for her various calculations, he was obviously full of depression and anger, and even had the heart to torture her, but the moment he saw her with tears in her eyes and stubbornly raised her head, his heart was like being tightly held by an invisible big hand, which made his internal organs ache faintly.

At that moment, it seemed that all the anger and disappointment were not so intense.

When Nuan Yan said that she was going to use all her spies to find the glowing grass for him, at that moment, his heart suddenly softened, and the powerful idea that had supported him to walk alone in the dark all these years was actually a little shaken.

But only for that moment, he never regretted the move he made back then.

Su Jingqian's words made Lin Wanwan feel very confused and puzzled, she looked at him with a puzzled gaze, he was never a good talker.

Back then, King Yong was self-respecting, bullied him young, and wanted to take away his throne, but he endured it for two years before he started. As soon as you get a hand, you can get a knife down, clean and ruthless. He also exterminated all the people under his command, whether they were obedient or unobedient, and the last one was left alive. King Yong's stump was thrown directly into the mountains and forests by him to feed the beasts, and even asked the historian to write King Yong as a vulgar person with no ink on his chest.

That year, the bloody storm stained the sky of the entire Dongchen Kingdom, and the sixteen-year-old king stabilized his regime with a vigorous and resolute iron and bloody hand, and since then no one in Dongchen has dared to have any disrespect for this young monarch, and the entire government and the opposition no longer have the heart of disobedience. It was also that battle that made the monarch of the other three countries watch the fire from the other side with bad intentions, and no longer have contempt for the young new monarch.

Now that she almost ruined his chessboard, he was so generous that he didn't care? This made Lin Wanwan feel at ease. The doubts in her heart were like countless intricate threads, the slightest strands of which were tangled and entangled, and she couldn't figure them out.

Su Jingqian didn't answer the doubts in her eyes for her, but took a few steps forward, and when she saw that she hadn't followed for a long time, she sighed imperceptibly, and then turned around and said faintly, "You don't have to worry about it, although your purpose in doing this is not to help me, but in the end, my purpose has been achieved, and the rest is no longer important." Moreover, Rong Sui asked me to take care of you, and when his side is empty, he will come to pick you up. ”

Hearing his frank answer, the intricate lines in Lin Wanwan's heart broke in an instant, and she couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous, but a simple word "li", she just wanted to bypass it and find other answers.

is a cocoon that binds itself, and often only oneself is bound.

She didn't understand that if it weren't for the fact that Beiming and Xijing's secret thorns had been successfully pulled out and he had achieved his goal, how could he not pursue his various calculations, even if he had Rong Sui's entrustment, he would not be merciful.

The stars in the sky were bright and dark, and she couldn't really see his expression at the moment, so she only heard him pause, and said, "You, do you want to go to Beiming?" ”

"I didn't expect you to still have a connection."

When Lin Wanwan said this, her throat was like swallowing a dose of Coptis chinensis, and there was a lingering bitter feeling.

He and Rong Sui still kept in touch, no wonder he knew that there were Rong Sui's people in Beiming's secret agents. It's been seven years, and he hasn't contacted her again, except for the hurried side six years ago, not even a word, not a single ordinary letter.

She tugged at the corners of her lips, and that light smile pierced Su Jingqian's eyes deeply.

"You want me to go to Beiming?"

"What's wrong with Beiming? Rong Sui is there, after all, he is your dearest person. ”

Su Jingqian bit the last four words very hard, as if there was a sense of anger in it.

Lin Wanwan's eyes darkened, and a trace of disappointment quietly flashed in his eyes, "Are you so impatient to push me away?" ”

The wind tonight seemed to be particularly rampant, Su Jingqian's robe was blown to hunt, he stood silently in the wind, and when the beautiful peach blossom eyes came from afar, the pupils flashed with flickering light.

He was clearly only a few steps away from her, but he felt so far away that there seemed to be an insurmountable gulf between them.

As soon as I think of it, the end of the world is at hand. A thought is extinguished, and the end of the world is at hand.

"You should know that on the day you insisted on entering the Heavenly Pavilion, I didn't plan to let you stay in Nanling."

Yes, on that day, it was clear from his words and deeds that he was extremely reluctant to stay on his own. If he hadn't deliberately provoked and persecuted him, gambling that he would care about the Beiluo Master and still care about the old feelings, how could he let go?

"So you've been on the lookout for me since then?"

He looked at her silently, with a deep and indescribable solemnity in his eyes, and an indescribable sadness.

"You shouldn't get involved in the current situation in Nanling, I can probably guess a few points about the purpose of your trip, you don't have to be bait, if I didn't plan to do anything about the Blood Clothes Pavilion at the beginning, I'm afraid your calculations will be in vain."

Lin Wanwan's heart tightened, and she still looked calm and tranquil on the surface, "But you still made a move." ”

Su Jingqian closed his eyes lightly, covering the inexplicable emotions floating in his eyes, "Today, even if I owe you a favor, I promise you, what do you want?" ”

When Lin Wanwan heard this, the stars in her eyes seemed to fall instantly, and she looked at him faintly, and her silent eyes seemed to hide countless unspeakable sorrows.

In a trance, time was laid out on paper, memories were swayed into ink, and on the paper stained with ink marks was the promise he owed her.

Fluttering and worrying through the dusty memories, I still remember that night, it was also so light and windy, and the stars were shining, and they sat side by side on the roofβ€”

She put her hands on her cheeks and looked up at the stars, "Can a wish to the stars really come true?" ”

He supported his chin with one hand, staring at her intently, the corners of his lips and eyebrows contained wisps of tenderness, and even the cold wind around him seemed to become much gentler.

"Why do you wish to the stars? What do you want? I promise you. ”

"Will Ah Jin allow me anything I want?"

She looked into the depths of his eyes, and there seemed to be a burning light in them, like two small flames burning in the night, with a faint expectation.

"As long as it is what you want, I will do my best to fight for you."

"I hope that Ah Jin can be like the bright moon in the future, bright and clear, and the moonlight will dissolve, so that your light can dispel the darkness, illuminate your subjects, and be a prosperous monarch."

She smiled, "That way, when I look up at night, I can see you." ”

His low and pleasant laughter seemed to warm up the cold night a little, "Don't worry, even if I return to Dongchen one day, I will write to you, if you want to see me, I will pick you up immediately." It may be difficult for me to be this earthly month, butβ€”"

His peach blossom eyes looked at him, and the light in his eyes was better than thousands of stars, "I promise you, no matter whether the road ahead is dark or not, I will always illuminate it for you." ”

The night floated with dark incense, and the trees were swept up by the wind and scattered into a sky full of stars, silently falling to the tip of her heart, turning into a touch of unstained dust.

It's just that she was full of joy at that time, and she forgot that no matter how beautiful the night was, it would eventually dawn.

In the long river of years, those ignorant feelings will eventually dry up.

The former Yin Yin Yanyan will eventually boil into a little red, imprinted in the heart, turned into cinnabar, and is no longer hot and dazzling.

But as long as you cover it with your fingers, it will be like a dead tree in spring.

Then, the memories swirled, and everything was as before.
