"Ah Chen, Ah Chen, wake up, Ah Chen?" Xie Chen's ears seemed to hear Siwan's voice, mixed with the sound of dripping water.

"Wan ...... Wan'er? He gradually opened his eyes and saw Siwan in front of him: "Wan'er, is it really you?" I can't be dreaming, am I? ”

He wiped his eyes again, and after confirming that it was really Siwan, he rushed up and was about to hug her, but disappeared in front of him the moment he touched her.

"Wan'er, Wan'er! Where are you? Don't scare me. Xie Chen groped in the dark space, his hands pulling the air back and forth, and kept walking forward, his ears were also searching for Siwan's voice, desperate to find his wife as soon as possible.

"Wan'er, where are you? Aren't you afraid of the dark? You scream, I'll follow the sound source to you, okay? You just wait for me where you are, okay? Xie Chen anxiously shouted Siwan's name, hoping that Siwan could respond to his words in which direction.

But when Si Wan spoke, he was stunned, because there was an echo in the space they were in, so that Xie Chen couldn't clearly distinguish which direction Si Wan was saying.

"Ah Chen, why didn't you make it clear to me and rush me away? Don't you love me anymore? ”

"No, it's not like that, don't think about anything, the person I love has always been you, just ...... It's just that I have my own struggles, and I can't say too clearly now. Xie Chen responded to his words as he wandered back and forth in the darkness.

"What's the secret you can't tell me? Do you know how desperate I was when you told me to leave? Siwan's cries began to ring out around her.

"I'm sorry, Wan'er, I know that I have made you suffer a lot of grievances, and you have also suffered a lot alone, it is me who is a bastard, and it is me who is cowardly, but this matter really can't be told to you too early, when the time comes, I will make it clear to you, okay?" Xie Chen also cried urgently because he couldn't find her, and kept apologizing to Siwan: "I'm sorry, Wan'er, I'm sorry for you." ”

"Ah Chen, it's so dark here, I'm so scared. Hurry up and save me. ”

Suddenly, a beam of white light appeared in front of Xie Chen's eyes, Siwan stood in the light, and turned to look at Xie Chen: "Ah Chen...... I'm gone, take care. ”

"No, don't!" Xie Chen desperately rushed over to grab Wan'er, but he didn't expect that the moment she grabbed Wan'er, she turned into a more dazzling white light, the light was so strong that he couldn't open his eyes, and he didn't let go, and covered his eyes with his other hand and begged her: "Don't go." ”

After a while, the white light disappeared, and when Xie Chen looked at the person holding the hand again, fortunately, she was okay and was still by his side.

Surrounded by winding and rugged mountain roads, the sky was gray, they were all sitting on horses, and the tears on Siwan's face had long since disappeared.

"Wan'er, are you okay? Where are we going? Xie Chen asked tentatively.

"I'm going to see a friend." Siwan looked at him and said.

When Xie Chen heard this, he felt as if she was fine, so he sat down on the horse peacefully, and his spirit gradually relaxed.

"Boom—" The blackened sky suddenly thundered, and a strong air current hit them, and then a louder thunder roared in the sky.

The white horse also seemed to hear Lei Gong's dissatisfaction, and simply kicked forward directly, and Xie Chen immediately grabbed the reins, trying to maintain a proper balance. But she couldn't withstand the back kick of the horse, Siwan didn't know what the reason was, she slipped off the horse, Xie Chen, who reacted quickly, wanted to hold her, but she was still a step too late, Siwan had already fallen to the ground, and the horse should have realized that she couldn't get rid of Xie Chen, so she started the sprint mode, Xie Chen couldn't care so much, jumped over, and fell off the horse. Fortunately, he had been on the battlefield several times and was used to this way of dismounting, otherwise if it was someone else, he would have fallen miserably.

He couldn't control the pain on his body, so he ran to Siwan's side without hesitation and helped her up: "Wan'er, Wan'er? Wake up, wake up! ”

When Wan'er opened her eyes and called his name, he confirmed that there should be no problem.

"Did you fall and hurt? Are there any bruises? Let me see. As he spoke, Xie Chen grabbed her arm and wanted to help her take a look.

"No, I'm not as fragile as you think, but the most important thing right now is to find a way to get out of this wilderness!" Siwan withdrew her arm: "Such a large mountain forest, if you want to go out, you have to find the direction first, and then find a shortcut to get out of here." ”

The sky has returned to its former calm.

The two of them were walking in the forest like this, when the sound of running water sounded in the ears of both of them.

"Did you hear that? There's the sound of running water. Siwan grabbed him and said.

"What's wrong?" Xie Chen didn't know the meaning of this sentence yet.

Siwan's face was angry with him: "Stupid you, if there is a sound of water, it means that there is a river or a pool, as the saying goes, the water flows to a low place, so it doesn't mean that as long as you walk in the low direction, you can go out." ”

Xie Chen suddenly realized: "Wan'er, you are so smart. ”

"Then let's go our separate ways, you go over there to see if it's a waterhole or a river, and I'll go in my direction too." Siwan said to him with a smile.

"Then you go alone, I don't worry." Xie Chen's face showed obvious concern.

"Oh, if I'm in danger, I'll definitely run to you desperately, and you've never seen my speed, so don't worry." Siwan looked at him and smiled playfully.

"Okay, if you are in danger, you must scream, and I will go to your side to find you." Xie Chen instructed her.

"Okay." Then Siwan quickly ran in the direction of the sound of running water.

Xie Chen also walked in his direction, but for some reason, he was always uneasy in his heart, and he tried to calm himself down, "No, our luck is not so bad, she won't be in danger...... ......."

But when he was about to walk to the flowing water, a hysterical scream suddenly came from the distance behind him, although the sound was small, he still heard Siwan's voice clearly.

A bad thought suddenly appeared in his heart: "It's bad, something happened!" ”

So he hurriedly turned his head and ran in the direction of Siwan.

The sky turned gray again, and it began to rain heavily, but this time there was no lightning and thunder, only the wind howling, and he ran hard in the rainy forest, and the branches in the lower places were like thorns, scratching his face again and again, and bleeding blood, but he never gave up running, and kept running with all his might.

The muddy road is already slippery, and with the desperate running and surrounding obstacles, it's impossible not to fall.

Xie Chen, who was still running non-stop in the last second, was slipped and fell in the next second. The muddy water seemed to have a sense of direction, and they all saw him like wolves. Where did Xie Chen, who was born in a family of Jiangmen, experience this feeling, but he still endured the pain and exhaustion of his body and continued to run forward, because, compared to his own pain, he was more afraid of seeing Siwan crying helplessly. He always understood and firmly believed that "her safety is more important than anything else." ”

Like, everyone in the capital knows that he is a famous major general, and the real purpose of his joining the army is actually just to protect her......

When he ran to the front, he found that a huge waterfall appeared in front of him, and the place where he stood was the source of the top of the waterfall.

"Waterfall, that Wan'er ......" Xie Chen's thoughts froze for a moment.

"No, it can't be, she can't be so stupid, she must be alive!"

Xie Chen hurriedly shouted "Wan'er...... near the waterfall" Wan'er! His cries resounded throughout the forest, and could be heard in the valley for hundreds of miles, but he received no response except to alarm the birds.

As the minutes passed, his mood became more and more anxious and uneasy.

I didn't find her after a long turn, so I went back to where I was, looking for clues in the land, maybe there would be new clues.

Sure enough, he noticed that there were some obvious marks on the land near the waterfall, which were clearly visible, and it looked like someone had slipped down because they couldn't stop while running, but he knew that it wasn't necessarily Siwan's doing. Because he knew that in an unknown environment, she rarely acted recklessly.

However, when he turned his head and saw that there was a missing rock on the cliff, the trace seemed to have been picked off by hand, and there was an incomplete handprint on the sloped earth, a silver gardenia hairpin was inserted in the center of the handprint, and the green glazed jade shimmered in the sun.

He leaned on it and compared it to know that this was really left by Siwan, because the gardenia hairpin was a commemorative gift for their love, and it was also the trophy of Xie Chen's first successful killing of the enemy.

He plucked the hairpin, held it tightly in his hand, looked and looked, wiped his eyes, looked again, and confirmed that it was really the hairpin. He was nervous, beads of sweat broke out of the tip of his nose, his heart was pounding, and his mind was full of chaotic thoughts. Suddenly I felt my throat choked, the corners of my mouth twitched a few times unconsciously, my lips couldn't help trembling, and the tears in my eyes fell down my cheeks like a flood that broke the embankment, and I cried in despair.

"My Wan'er, ...... dead"

Over and over again in his mind, he made up Siwan's embarrassment before falling off the cliff and the despair when she fell off the cliff.

"You must have been terrified, but pity...... It's all my fault that I didn't stand by your side and protect you! I promised to go separately, but why, you were the one who died? It's all my fault, why wasn't I the one who died? ”

Xie Chen kept crying.

I don't know how long it took for the white light to reappear.

"Siwan" saw that Xie Chen seemed to be different from before, he was an indifferent and arrogant young general during the day, but when there was no one at night, he always recalled what happened that day with tears on his face, and kept shuttling between reality and memories all day long.

Later, as soon as the picture turned, the indifferent and arrogant Xie Chen carried a sword and put it on the neck of General Xie.

"Grandfather, oh no, I should call you, Dongguan Xiaozuo!"

Old General Xie's eyes widened and rounded: "You...... When did you find out who I am? ”

"You have always been from Dongguan, and, I also know that since you entered Nanzhao, every year or two you will let an innocent loyal minister die tragically at home, the reason why there is no big wind and waves, is because they are all outspoken masters, the emperor will naturally not like it, so you take this opportunity to fan the flames on the side, and finally send someone to their residence to finish them off, I said, right?"

Dongguan Xizuo desperately denied his words: "I do all this for the righteousness of the family and the country, those loyal ministers have killed the people of Dongguan and are innocent, I am doing the right thing for heaven!" What's wrong with me! ”

"I don't care about the entanglement between the family and the country that you people stand on and judge, I could have stood by and watched......"

"And what are you doing now?!"

"Originally, I thought that as long as you don't say it in the open, I don't want to care, but you, you shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't, design a big show, let Siwan die for me!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"You know, when I was a kid and I walk now, I usually walked to the right, and Siwan is a hidden left-hander, she walks to the left, but you didn't calculate, we walked in the forest in different directions that day. I'm also confused, I should have let her go to the left, so she could go out and not die for me......"

"Then what evidence do you have that I planned it?"

"The proof is that the horse, the horse you have used for half your life, and, you know best, what he is afraid of and how fast he walks; Moreover, you have been coveting your power in the court, and you want to use a certain princess to make the ministers of the court respect you or even obey you, which is the so-called superiority, so that you can speak more weightily in front of the emperor. But you didn't expect that what you were waiting for was Si Wan, who could not bring benefits but brought trouble, coupled with her decisive character, which made you feel that you couldn't let her know about your affairs in the court, so as not to bring disadvantage, so you killed us. Dongguan fine, is there a word I said wrong? ”

After his hand clenched, he relaxed again and laughed: "Yes, you are right, originally I thought that you are inseparable every day, and you are inseparable, and you should also walk in the same direction together when you walk, I wanted to let you die together, but I didn't expect that you would actually come back." In just a few days, he collected all the evidence of my crimes since I came to Nanzhao, and without taking away a trace of flawed conspiracy, he threw me down from the mountain of the imperial court and took half of my life. ”

"Do you have any last words now?"

"You ...... with your father" Before he finished speaking, Dongguan Xiaozuo died under Xie Chen's sword, stabbing several swords in a row, knowing that there was no sign of life before stopping.

"You're not qualified to mention this!"

Then he ordered his subordinates, carried his body out, and wiped the blood on the sword: "Father, I have avenged you." ”

Xie Chen listened to the sound of the rebel army fighting and knew that the general trend was gone, so he took a pot of wine while there was still time, sat in front of the main guest room of the Xie Mansion, and said to himself: "Originally, your father should have died under my sword, but I didn't do it, because if I killed him, there would be a mountain between us that could never be crossed, I don't want our life to be like that, besides, if you see your father over there and know that I killed him, then how sad you should be, As soon as I saw you sad, I felt distressed, I didn't want you to be sad, so I didn't care, now, in the eyes of the world, I am a thief who disregards the righteousness of my family and country, but what is it? It's not so much that not getting fame and fortune will make people lose their minds, but what I'm most afraid of is seeing you sad. ”

With the dawn of the sky, Xie Chen smiled, lifted his sword, and chose a good environment: "Leave with one heart, and die with sorrow." Wan'er, it's good that we're meeting again. ”

After the rebels rushed into Xie's mansion, they found that Xie Chen had fallen in a pool of blood, and there was still a happy smile on the corner of his mouth. It was later learned that he had committed suicide......
