The melodious sound of the horse-head fiddle resounded throughout the night, and the Mongolian bonfire carnival lasted all night.

When the sky was bright, Qin Liu finally gave up. Her last glimmer of hope was finally extinguished.

Qin Liu bathed in the morning light and rode away.

Quietly I went, as quietly I came; I waved my sleeves and didn't take a cloud with me.

Far away on the hillside at the end of the day, a man stood still on horseback.

Qin Liu rode a horse closer, only to see clearly that the silver helmet and silver armor shining in the early morning sun were so familiar.

The person who came was Zhu Yue.

This more than a year seems to be a dream, or a reincarnation.

At first, she had to take refuge in the depths of the steppe, and indirectly accepted Bars.

It was Zhu Yue who was here to see her off.

Today, she left the grassland alone in embarrassment, and Zhu Yue was still here waiting for her to return.

This man has never asked her for anything, but he has been giving and guarding.

When Zhu Yue saw her, there was no sadness or joy, her face was still thin, but under the backdrop of a suit of armor, she was still handsome and heroic, like a god descending from heaven.

The two of them galloped all the way, and when they threw the guards behind them a distance, Zhu Yue asked, "Next, what are your plans?" ”

Qin Liu looked at the Mongolian Khan Court that had disappeared in the north, and suppressed the tears that burst out of his eyes.

All the while, Baars never chased after him.

"I'll go back to Shabaozi Town first and take Li Laoha and Dalang to Luling County, Jiangxi. I bought a house there. ”

Zhu Yue's eyes dimmed, and he said after a long time: "The situation in Jiangxi is stable, and the people are outstanding, so it is a good place." I will be transferred to Jiangxi by order of the military department. ”

Qin Liu turned his head to look at Zhu Yue in surprise.

"Lord Zhu, you have a noble status and a great future, why bother to waste your days in the stable mainland?"

"Your family has high hopes for you."

Zhu Yue sneered: "Our Baoguo Mansion is extremely rich, and if we go further, we may be self-defeating." It's better to keep to yourself and waste your pockets, which is more realistic. ”

"What, Shopkeeper Liu is also Mu Qiang's rich and noble?"

Qin Liu took over, "That's nature. As soon as the women are introduced, they can also do some trading to make a living. If you meet someone like Lord Zhu who forcibly buys a store again, wouldn't it be a headache, and naturally you want to find a backer. ”

Zhu Yue saw that Qin Liu was in a better mood, so he smiled and said, "If you open a store again, I will take 30% of the shares, how about it?" ”

"It depends on how much money Master Zhu makes. The capital is too small, but it is not worth 30% of the shares. ”

"Shopkeeper Liu, don't be too greedy, if the lion opens his mouth, Zhu doesn't have that net worth."

Qin Liuwan smiled, and then, he was sad again.

The scene of Zhu Yue's buying a store under the threat of a stick resurfaced in front of him.

It's a pity that the unruly boy who supported her was separated after all.

Perhaps it was to let Qin Liu take a good break and return to Daming along the way, they walked very slowly, more like they were sightseeing.

Zhu Yue would call Qin Liu up in the middle of the night after the dripping water turned into ice and take her to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise.

On the golden grassland full of dead grass, I will watch the sunset slowly slide down the horizon with her.

Autumn is the season of gloom and sorrow.

Autumn is superimposed with emotional sorrows, and Qin Liu feels that his life is gloomy.

She was depressed.

There are no children around her, no lively and cute little animals, and no close lovers.

Zhu Yue herself is often depressed, and often just looks at her quietly in a daze.

When the first heavy snow fell, Qin Liu finally returned to Shabaozi Town.

At the gate of his own courtyard, there were a few soldiers.

Qin Liu sighed in his heart.

Entering the courtyard, there were several fierce and vicious Mongols who were confronting the Ming soldiers.

Qin Liu's heart was even worse, she walked into the hall, only to find that Li Laohan in the hall was full of gloom, sitting next to Ma Ang, who had been absent for a long time, and Bars, who had not said goodbye not long ago.

Qin Liu felt uncomfortable in his heart. How did Bars, a busy bridegroom and a right-wing Jinong who married four brides in one go, come here?

Li Laohan looked at Qin Liu with complicated eyes, and his eyes were red: "Erlang, damn it, Da Lang is gone!" ”

Qin Liu felt like he had encountered a thunderbolt from the sky, and his eyes widened in disbelief: "What do you mean that Da Lang is gone?" He's dead? ”

Ma Ang hurriedly stood up and comforted: "It's not that he's dead, he went to Guannei with Zhao San'er, and he should go to Zhao San'er's hometown of Bazhou." I've already arranged for someone to chase after me, don't worry. ”

Qin Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

She's lost so much lately that she can't help but take a hit.

Bars got up and grabbed Qin Liu's arm, led her to the courtyard, and said to her without question, "Follow me." Let's go back to Toron. ”

Qin Liu laughed so hard that he kept laughing and bent over: "Go back with you?" What about those wives of yours? ”

Bars's eyes narrowed into a slit, and a cold light flashed: "They live on the right flank and have nothing to do with us. I just go there a few months a year to make rounds. ”

Seeing that he frowned tightly and had a serious expression, Qin Liu also stood up straight and looked at Bars carefully.

But I haven't seen him for a few months, and this man has already brought a majestic and murderous aura.

After experiencing the baptism of war and killing, the teenager who wanted to start a family with her has become a decisive superior.

He is cold, majestic, and burdened with responsibility and glory, and he is no longer an unruly teenager who obediently accepts the soles of his shoes.

He's grown, and she's still standing still.

"No, I'm not going back with you."

Bars grabbed her hand with such force that it hurt her.

"Why? My wife, there will be no one else with you alone. I swear to you. ”

Qin Liu stood on tiptoe and gently touched Bars's hair.

His unruly hair was now covered by a broad-brimmed hat, leaving only a few ends out.

Bars stared at her, waiting for her reply.

"You once said that if I don't like the redcoat cannon, you won't build it. However, I have heard that it was the red-coated artillery that defeated the right flank. It was forged by the great Balsjinong, who found craftsmen from the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Bars, am I right?"

Bars's eyes dimmed slightly, and he immediately raised his fighting spirit: "The world has changed, if there is no red-clothed cannon, the Khan Court will definitely lose." The steppe will fall into division and civil strife again, and Father Khan will never let me go with you, and we will not have a stable life. ”

"yes, things are always changing. Bars, I don't want to be with you anymore. Let's go. ”

"You come with me."

"I'm not leaving."

Bars pointed to the hall and said with a cold gaze, "If you don't leave, I'll kill him." ”

Qin Liu shuddered all over.

This is the real Bals, the first time she saw her, Bars scared her enough.

Qin Liu straightened up his waist and said calmly to Bars: "Then please sharpen your knife and cut me down." (End of chapter)
