"Kyo'er...... Kyo'er ......"

Hearing like a mother's call with warmth, Gao Changgong was wearing thin clothes and struggled to get up from the bed, but he felt that it was dark in front of him and he couldn't see anything.

It should be late at night, he thought.

But the voice was still calling, far and near, as if it would disappear at any moment, making people involuntarily anxious, wanting to get out of bed, to find the source of the voice, to find the familiar but already unfamiliar face of the copy.

Yes, he hasn't seen that face for many years, and if you say that in this world, except for Mulan, the woman who makes him feel the most affectionate is probably the only mother who was born in a family and has a gentle temperament.

Since he was a child, his mother likes to sit in front of the bed, gently pat his back, let him quiet down, and sleep quietly with the cool breeze of the afternoon fan.

But at this time he didn't want to sleep.

Gao Changgong stubbornly wanted to climb off the bed, but found that his hands and feet were so weak, as if he was not Gao Changgong, the general of Jing Wu, and he had turned back into the skinny, dirty and messy kid running around all day.

"Why don't you sleep, can't you sleep?" the voice asked, with some concern, "Is it too hot, or is it too loud outside?"

"Mother. Gao Changgong said in a low voice.

Then the light suddenly brightened, and everything in the room was revealed, the carved windows, the old bronze mirrors, and the spicy scent of grass could be smelled from the outside, reaching the nostrils, and the summer cicadas chirping tirelessly in the trees.

But Gao Changgong didn't care about that at all, his eyes stayed on the cheeks that were not young, and even had many crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, she showed grace with her neat bun, but she looked lazy and leisurely in light clothes, and had a little girl-like innocence.

She still looked so loving, smiling and shaking the fan: "What's the matter? Want to eat cold cakes? You will wake up after a while, if you don't sleep all the time, you will be eaten by your brothers." ”

Gao Changgong thought of the days when she had a big quarrel with her father, desperately fled from home, and traveled the rivers and lakes alone, presumably even so, she would keep a copy for herself every time she made pastries, right?

Later, he grew from a prodigal son to the current General Jing Wu, many people think that he is flying freely, but who knows how much he owes him?

He thought that his mother would live a hundred years old, but only when he really got the news did he know that there were not so many happy reunions in this world, he was still on the Great Wall at the time, and even wanted to stay in the Great Wall, but he also returned to Wu because of the news that his mother was seriously ill.

But in the end, he still didn't get to see his mother for the last time.

"I was wrong, so over the years, I never dared to quarrel with my father. Gao Changgong lowered his head and muttered to himself.

"What?" asked the mother, who didn't seem to hear clearly.

But her face was aging rapidly, her skin became pale, her eyes turned into a deep hollow, and finally her body began to gradually disperse like dust.

"It's my ......" Gao Changgong raised his head, and was about to say something to his mother, but found that the face in front of him had been replaced by a cheek that had been weathered but was still resolute and heroic, a pair of eagle eyebrows were slightly raised, and there seemed to be a bit of hatred in his eyes.

Magnolia.

"What do you remember you promised me?" the female general, dressed in military uniform, still spoke sonorously and powerfully, as sharp as the war knife in her hand.

"You said you would stay at the Great Wall, you would ...... Stay with me. Mulan looked at Gao Changgong indifferently and continued, "But you only left a letter, and left me with a few words, and never came back. ”

Gao Changgong didn't know how to answer, because this matter was that he was sorry for Mulan from the beginning, and he did have such an idea at the beginning, wanting to stay on the Great Wall forever and stay with Mulan, but the changes in the world made his wish unfulfillable.

"Wanling...... He needs a helper, a helper who is strong enough, and the people of Wu, they also need a stable shelter. Gao Changgong replied in a low voice: "What I said to you is not false, it just takes some time......"

But his voice was interrupted by Mulan's sharp question.

"Time? Do you think I'm really going to be stupid and waiting for you? Who do you think I am? Your woman?Your servant?Or is it the slave you call and go?"

Mulan stood in front of the bed, condescending, a tear was sliding down in her left eye, but it was so strange in her eyes, looking at Gao Changgong as if she was looking at someone she didn't know at all.

"I have the blood of the Mu clan in my body, and the responsibility of the ancestors of the past generations is now on my shoulders, and I must get married. As for who the person who is married, there are many heroes in my Mu army, and there will be no shortage of 'General Jing Wu' like you." ”

After saying that, Mulan turned around and left, obviously opening the door and going out, but it was like walking into a piece of light, and her back was swallowed up in an instant.

"Mulan, wait!" Gao Changgong had never felt such pain in his heart, as if tens of thousands of insects were constantly burrowing around in his abdomen, gnawing at his internal organs, and in his eagerness, he jumped up from the bed with all his might, but he fell to the ground with a "bang" sound before he was far away.

He hadn't gotten up for a long time, because he knew the girl was gone.

At this time, a pair of hands held up his arms, as if they were trying to help him up, raised his head and looked, Gao Changgong was stunned, and said in a low voice: "Wanling." ”

It's the Wanling from before.

As his best friend in life, Wanling's temperament is completely different from him, he has been a sensible and humble person since he was a child, and his knowledge is far beyond his peers, in the eyes of any elder, he is a talent who is enough to shoulder the rise and fall of a family.

Therefore, although his eyes are not as agile as his younger brother Wolong, they contain a light that perceives everything.

"It's really hard for you to hold up such a big Jing Wu. Zhuge Wanling helped Gao Changgong up hard, took him all the way back to the bed, and said with a smile: "I know, Wolong has his own things he wants, so no matter how much he does for Jing Wu, he is just asking for benevolence, and you are different, you still sacrificed a lot for me and the people of Jing Wu." ”

Being praised like this, Gao Changgong was not happy, but said a little sadly: "Don't say that, when it comes to sacrifice, I just sacrificed a personal relationship of my children, what is it? And you, for the sake of the people of Wu, you don't want your own life." If you were asked to choose it again, would you regret it?"

"Of course not. Zhuge Wanling's smile was full of satisfaction, and he reached out and patted Gao Changgong's shoulder, "This is the world I want, Jing Wu...... This name is very good, the Jing Chu Gang and the Wu State have blended together, and this southern land has been recreated, and the people have enough food and clothing, and they will no longer suffer from war. You and Wolong are doing well, even better than I thought. ”

Gao Changgong rarely showed a little flirtatious smile: "It's the first time I've heard you praise people like this, it seems that this is indeed my dream, although this kind of thing doesn't sound like me, but I finally saw you again, didn't I?"

Facing the familiar face, Gao Changgong stared for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "Actually, I still regret it, I actually agreed to your ridiculous request at the beginning, I can obviously stop you, I can obviously ......"

Zhuge Wanling sat with a smile and didn't say anything.

Gao Changgong didn't care about this, but just began to talk about some things over the years, including the difficulties of starting a business, the cruelty of war, the hardships of fighting, and everything as if it happened yesterday.

But somehow, Zhuge Wanling suddenly stood up when he heard it, and began to think about walking outside the door.

Gao Changgong finally had some strength and hurriedly chased after him, but he was still a step too late, and watched Zhuge Wanling disappear on the side of the light.

He tried to chase it out, but he felt the light have a resisting force, forcing him to stagger back into the room.

At this time, everything was quiet, and he seemed to be the only one left in the empty room.

And his mind was so confused that he didn't even notice the trace of unusual breath left in the room.
