I rubbed my head and looked up, and found that the person I bumped into was also an acquaintance, and it was an acquaintance I didn't expect - Ruiqing.

Because after returning to the capital from the border, I had no contact with Ruiqing, I didn't know where he went after that, how he was doing, and then I was in a situation where I couldn't take care of myself, so I didn't have any other ideas, if I hadn't met him here, I would probably have forgotten about this person.

Compared with my surprised appearance, Ruiqing was not surprised to see me at all, "Miss Mingxiu is here." He said lightly.

I nodded sluggishly and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm a subordinate of the second prince, and I'm naturally here when he's here. He said it for granted, but there was something obviously unnatural about the Star Sparrow.

I remember that in the first battle on the border, Qin Yuefeng did not let Ruiqing return to the second prince, Qin Yuefeng's sentence "Maybe Xingque doesn't remember Ruiqing at all" is still in his ears, and it was also at that time that Ruiqing's personality changed somehow.

"Did General Qin ask you to come?" I wondered.

Rui Qing suddenly sneered, as if I had asked a very stupid question, "Miss Mingxiu came here, did General Qin ask you to come?"

One sentence choked me a lot, I had a falling out with Qin Yuefeng, so to speak, Ruiqing also ran out by himself.

The Qin family army has a strict system, even if it is an ordinary soldier, the transfer needs instructions from the superiors, and those who do not have instructions to act privately are deserters, and deserters have always been punished with the most severe punishment.

I lowered my voice and said, "You escaped? You're crazy! Aren't you afraid of military law?"

"What are you afraid of" A cold light flashed in Ruiqing's eyes: "Anyway, my family is dead, what else can Qin Yuefeng threaten me?"

"What?" Ruiqing's words surprised me, and at the same time, the bits and pieces that Qin Yuefeng had told me in the past also came to my mind at once, Qin Yuefeng did say that he would use Ruiqing's family to contain Ruiqing who he didn't trust, and now Ruiqing's family is dead, and then look at Ruiqing's cold tone when he mentioned Qin Yuefeng, could it be that Qin Yuefeng killed Ruiqing's family?

But in the border battle, Ruiqing obviously completed all the tasks well, and the empire won, what reason did Qin Yuefeng have to kill Ruiqing's family?

"How did your family pass away......" I asked cautiously.

"I don't know, I've only seen corpses," Ruiqing's tone didn't fluctuate at all, as if he was saying something inconsequential: "More than half of the corpses are decomposed." ”

His attitude frightened me for no reason, so I didn't continue the topic for a moment, but asked with a smile: "I haven't seen you for so long, and you don't seem surprised to see me at all." ”

Ruiqing nodded: "Because I know you're coming." ”

"You know?"

"I heard from the people in the village that it's not a secret that the leader of Tangli robbed General Qin's sweetheart here," he paused for a moment and continued: "I thought you were robbed hard, but now I see that you are willing, what's the matter, what about the dedication that Miss Mingxiu kept saying before?"

My face turned red, thinking that I still couldn't talk nonsense, but now my face was crackling.

"I don't have much hope for feelings now," I admitted, "or you're right, you can't talk about feelings when you climb high branches, you have to see what conditions you want." ”

It was only at this moment that I realized that Ruiqing was a person who lived so clearly, and I couldn't help but think of the morning when I walked with him in the past, he clearly compared Qin Yuefeng and Xingque in all aspects, and then picked the high branch of Xingque, and succeeded, and at that time, I was still stupidly believing in dedication and love.

"Yes. The corners of Ruiqing's mouth moved, "You stupid person is enlightened." ”

I was so angry when I heard this, Ruiqing's temperament seems to have changed back, just like before, and he calls me stupid at every turn.

Zhengqi just wanted to refute, but he vaguely heard him whispering to himself: "Then what's wrong with me, I'm not as good as you in the end." ”

I didn't understand what it meant, but as I opened my mouth to ask, a familiar voice came from behind me.

"Sister. ”

Mingzhe stood behind me and called me, he was dressed in a gray-white robe, which was his favorite color since he was a child, I used to say that he liked the color of an old man when he was young, he would pretend to be dissatisfied and tap my skull, and then I would praise him with a hippie smile, saying where there was such a beautiful old man.

It's just that the clothes worn by Mingzhe in front of me, although they are familiar colors, but the material is hundreds of levels more expensive, so I can't help but look at my brother's clothes and be stunned, I don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate, but in just one year, the situation of our brother and sister has undergone earth-shaking changes, it seems that it was not me who froze to death in the cold winter, and it seems that it was not him who was beaten to death in the heavy snow.

"What's the matter," Mingzhe gently stroked my hair, "I'm always stunned when I come back." ”

I came back to my senses and said quickly, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Then I remembered something terrible.

Ruiqing, who is standing on my right, is one of Star Sparrow's old lovers.

My brother Mingzhe, who was standing on my left, was lying under Xingque ten minutes ago.

It is said that enemies are very red when they see each other, but what about rivals in love?

Star Sparrow, I'll beat him to death if I have a chance!

"That ......," I tried to break through the awkward atmosphere in front of me. I don't want to be interrupted by my brother as soon as I speak.

"This one is Brother Ruiqing. Mingzhe smiled kindly, looking at his brother's face, anyone who looked at it seemed to have a spring breeze.

"The second master is polite," Rui Qing said: "I am just the personal entourage of the second prince, and it is not worth calling the second master a brother and sister." ”

Ruiqing's words seemed to be fine, but the deliberately aggravated tone when he said the word 'close-fitting' made me not smell the strong smell of vinegar.

Ruiqing, who said that he didn't care about the stars and sparrows, was still jealous.

Stupid as I can hear the ridicule in Ruiqing's tone, but my brother who is as smart as me doesn't seem to understand at all: "Brother Ruiqing is dedicated to the second prince, and the second prince often chatters." ”

The second prince often said, "Just the star sparrow?" and I don't believe it if I kill it.

But Ruiqing's body stiffened significantly when he heard this, and he didn't seem to want to say more to his brother, so he smiled bitterly: "Don't disturb the second master and Mingxiu girl to catch up." Then he turned and left.

Still smiling, Mingzhe turned to me and opened his arms.

"It's been a year, give my brother a hug. ”

I grew up in my brother's arms, and after countless difficult days, I was bullied and wronged while working outside, and when I came home and threw myself into my brother's arms, I had no worries.

At this moment, as soon as Mingzhe opened his arms at me, I couldn't help but redden.

"Brother......" I threw myself into Mingzhe's arms, he was not as windy as before, but his arms were as familiar and warm as before.

"Good sister," he hugged me tightly, as if he knew that my life had been particularly turbulent this year, "what happened, and slowly told my brother." ”

That day, in my brother's room, I calmly described all the stories that had happened in the past year, including meeting Qin Yuefeng, falling in love with him, believing in him, leaving him, all the suffering, all the worries, fantasies, hatred, and gloom. I have never had any reservations about Mingzhe.

After telling it again, it was like going through it again, and my heart was completely stirred together, but I also had a sense of relief from being reborn.

"Brother, what did Ruiqing mean by calling you the second master just now?" I sorted out my emotions and said the doubts in my heart.

"It's the second leader of this stockade. "Mingzhe is concise and clear.

"You've made a fortune brother?!" I dropped my jaw in shock.

"The village is full of rough people, although they were suppressed by the leader of the Youta clan, but they were not really convinced, and it was not difficult for me to subdue them. ”

This makes sense, with Don Rick's temperament, he will never be able to convince people with virtue and reason, most of them will be hard, but although the mountain bandits are full of ruffians, they will not easily commit treason.

"Sister," Mingzhe took a sip of tea and said softly: "I heard Xingque say that you followed General Qin, so I tried to stabilize the people in this village...... Now that you have parted ways with General Qin, what do you want to do next?"

"I want revenge. "I didn't hesitate to cut the nail on the head.

The elder brother has lived in the empire for decades, and he probably never expected to do treason, after all, he was still preparing to go to the capital for the exam not long ago.

"Good. "Mingzhe only said one word, but it touched all my emotions.

Whether it's Qin Yuefeng or Tang Rick, the dynasty is in the next big game of chess, and we are all just chess pieces, and the only person in this world who really loves me unconditionally is Mingzhe, even if he is treasonous, he will not hesitate.

I was moved, but suddenly I remembered something.

"Brother. I'm now saddled with the infamy of treason, and I'm with Don Rick, but you don't have to, you ...... with the second prince."

Even if it was only for a few minutes, I could see that my brother and Xingque were unusual, not because of their bedside relationship, but because the eyes they looked at each other were very similar to Qin Yuefeng and I in the past.

I can even understand the emotion of deep love, it doesn't matter how long I've known each other, I can't love enough.

But if my brother cooperates with me in treason, then he and Xingque are people from two camps, and I really don't want to drag down my brother's happiness because of me.

Mingzhe really showed a trace of bitterness in his eyes, "I was originally a dying person, and it is already an extra blessing to meet Xingque at this time." ”

What is a dying man. This statement makes me very uncomfortable.

Mingzhe seemed to guess my thoughts, "There's no need to be taboo, my body is very clear about my sister." ”

I couldn't be clearer, but it's one thing to be clear, it's another thing to accept.

"Even if I don't need to help you, Xingque and I are destined not to last long," Mingzhe seemed to think things clearly: "Besides, compared to you and Xingque, of course my brother chooses you." ”
