Chapter 44: A Hundred Battles Return

"Can you talk to me?" Nie Mingzhu stood behind me with a plate and whispered to me, "You haven't eaten anything or gone to sleep these days, do you know that I'm worried about you?"

"Every year when the first snow falls in winter, the eldest brother will always call a few of our brothers to his house to get together, because his birthday is in these few days" Looking at the snow-white world outside the window, I responded to Nie Mingzhu, "The day after tomorrow is the eldest brother's birthday, he should be able to rush back, will you accompany me then?"

"Of course I will accompany you, no matter where you go, I will accompany you" Nie Mingzhu said, "Can you have a drink with me before you go?"

There is wine and food on the plate, there is snow outside the window, and there are beautiful women around.

In this case, wouldn't it be too bad to refuse to have a drink with the beautiful woman?

Nie Mingzhu is a very smart woman, of course she knows that I am depressed because of the death of my sad brother, today she specially cooked, made a few side dishes, brought a jar of spirits to accompany me to drink two glasses to relieve my mood.

The wine is an aged wine, the side dishes are delicate and delicious, and the beauty is incomparable.

People who are in a bad mood are easy to get drunk, and they are even more sad when they get drunk, and this sentence is by no means a disease-free after the literati and ink writers**.

I soon got drunk, not a slightly smoky kind but a drunken one that was unconscious.

If the degree of drunkenness is divided into three levels, then the drunk people are also divided into three types, the first type of people are drunk and can't do anything but sleep, this kind of people don't drink very well, but the wine is very good, they don't make noise, they don't make noise, they don't go crazy. The second type of person is drunk and likes to talk nonsense or indulge in singing, but there is still reason and will not mess around, this kind of person is okay with drinking, except for a little excitement, there is nothing wrong with it. The third type of people are very speechless when they are drunk, this kind of people will do nothing after they are drunk, they will not go to sleep, no matter how many people around them persuade them to no avail, they will run around like crazy people to make trouble, some hug the big tree and cry, some will tell the heart of the garbage can, and even more will strip naked and run naked on the street, it can be said that all the things in the world are in the wine.

What's even more speechless is that this drunk doesn't know what he did afterwards, and he needs to be reminded by others to remember some fragmented pictures.

I've always had a good amount of alcohol, and I don't think it's too bad.

My wine wasn't too bad, maybe because I never got drunk.

This time my mind was blank when I was drunk, and nothing was blank.

I don't know what I did all the night after I got drunk, I just know that by the time I got back in my head, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

I was lying comfortably on the bed on the second floor of the Tingyu Pavilion, and I didn't want to get up at all.

I wondered why I woke up this time instead of a splitting headache after a hangover, but a kind of relief after release, and the bad breath that was stuck in my heart seemed to find some way to be vented out of my body......

Overall, I felt amazing.

It's just that I really forgot what it took to feel so amazing.

Nie Mingzhu sat quietly on the chair by the window, his eyes closed, not knowing whether he was recuperating or settling down.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the cracks in the window on her serene face, making her look full of maternal radiance.

"I didn't do anything out of the ordinary when I got drunk, did I?" I looked at Nie Mingzhu, who was as beautiful as a fairy, and asked stupidly, "I didn't cause you any trouble, did I?"

"You didn't do anything when you got drunk," Nie Mingzhu opened his eyes and replied to me with a gentle face, "You just slept for a while"

I was relieved to learn that I had just slept after I was drunk. At least I didn't have the urge to run bare-bottomed to the East Market and dance.

Nie Mingzhu's answer confirmed that my wine was not bad.

It took me many years later to understand the true meaning of the phrase "just a sleep" in Nie Mingzhu's mouth.

Because at that time, our daughters had already stepped into the fairy world for many years, and I had been a father for many years without knowing it.

My suffering also began the moment I knew I had become a father.

The ignorant youth was really the source of my suffering, and of course I didn't know that Nie Mingzhu, who was sitting by the window and had been with me, was a woman for the first time.

When I learned that she was the mother of my daughter, I asked her what I had done to her when I was drunk.

She almost made me run away with just two words.

These two words are generally used to describe a man who is strong and strong when a woman is unwilling.

I can't believe that one day there will be a woman who will scold me with these two words.

It's the nature of men to be lustful, but although I have the same man's nature, I'm not in a hurry at all.

And I don't quite believe that with my fourteen-year-old small body, I can push down Nie Mingzhu, who has cultivated to an unfathomable level, in the way of an overlord hard bow!

It may be true that the overlord is the bow, but it's really hard to say who is the overlord and who is the bow.

It's a pity that I'm a man, even if I'm the victim who was pushed down, but I really have no place to complain!

No one would believe that I was the innocent man, and that women were born to stand on the moral high ground and crush any man who wanted to fight against such unspeakable things.

Even if I am already an overlord above the Three Realms many years later, I will not be able to overturn the case for myself!

This is a confused account, the only one who knows the truth, Nie Mingzhu, even if he is obedient to me, but in this matter, he will not let go of his mouth and tell me the answer.

No matter how much suffering I have endured in the long years to come, for now, my depressed and inexplicable mood has indeed been relieved a lot by the company of Nie Mingzhu.

"When will the eldest brother arrive in the capital?" I was much better after sleeping for a day and a night, "I have to prepare to see him again"

"You go first," Nie Mingzhu frowned slightly, hesitated, "I want to sit for a while"

"Okay, I'll go back first, I'll pick you up tomorrow"

Of course, I didn't notice that Nie Mingzhu seemed to be trying her best to hide some kind of pain, and she sat on the chair as if it had become a very difficult thing to even get up.

I hurriedly turned around and went downstairs to leave Tingyu Pavilion, of course I didn't know that Nie Mingzhu's gaze had never left me, and her eyes were full of tenderness and happiness unique to women.

The eldest brother arrived in the capital at night, and the second brother Liu Qingyun and the third brother Liu Qingyu rushed back to the capital from the Northern Expedition camp earlier to attend the funeral of the eldest brother.

In the parting pavilion ten miles outside Xizhi Gate, our brother and our only sister Liu Qingya stood still in the night wind.

The wind was very chaotic tonight, and it swept to the east for a moment, and then changed course to the west, and after a while, it rolled up with gusts of snow to form a small whirlpool in place.

The emperor and empress waited for the return of their son, who had died in battle, in the palace Wuying Hall.

The chaotic cold wind finally brought the news of the prince's return, and the sound of the wheels crushing the thin ice on the bluestone road was sent to our ears by the night wind.

The eldest brother's chariot and the sixty-five remaining comrades of his cavalry camp finally arrived in the capital on the eve of his birthday.

Watching the coffin car slowly moving towards the farewell pavilion under the light of the fire, the fourth sister Liu Qingya finally couldn't help crying bitterly.

"Big brother is back today, and our brother is here to take big brother home"

The second brother said loudly at the eldest brother's coffin.

Behind us, there was a sudden noise of gongs and drums, and the honor guard that greeted the prince's return to the court slowly stepped forward and surrounded the coffin in the middle, and drove to Xizhimen amid the shouts of the ceremonial officials, where the civil and military officials of the Qingfeng Dynasty had already been waiting to welcome the heroes who had returned from a hundred battles......
