Chapter 66: The End Part II
I know what he's here for.
Because August 15 is just around the corner.
It seems that things will never go so smoothly.
Liu Che's version is that he was anxious to hear the news of my injury, so he went to Liu Yang in person to visit his queen despite the obstacles. I had no choice but to play the role of a wounded man with all my heart, so that this patient could make this trip worthwhile.
The day after Liu Che arrived in Liu, Han Anguo shelled Xingyang City, and the rebels in the city fought back.
Another day, Yan Qixing went out of the city to call for battle, and even picked two of our generals, and the Han army suffered nearly 10,000 casualties.
This hard bone is not easy to gnaw on.
I barely survived for a few more days, and the injury was completely healed. Despite their best efforts to cover it up, the military doctors saw that my constitution was different from ordinary people, and they were surprised and puzzled. The military doctor knew that Liu Che couldn't hide it. So when he came to see me again that day, he had a strange look in his eyes.
"Actually, this phenomenon has been around for a long time. "I don't need him to ask, I take the initiative to explain. "My mother said that the descendants of Taoyuan people or Taoyuan people have a strong ability to resist blows, and the body's own self-repair ability is also higher than that of ordinary people. Although there is a slight difference, you can rest assured, I am still human, not a youkai, nor a vixen. β
When Liu Che heard me say this, he smiled and said, "I wish you were a vixen." β
"I'm afraid that Your Majesty will be annoyed by me then. β
Liu Che looked at me for a long time and was speechless, I was a little embarrassed, just wanted to divert the topic, he suddenly took my hand and said: "Liu Dan, over the years, I have looked at the military affairs inside and outside the court, even if you and I can't be heart-to-heart, but we are also like-minded. Believe it or not, if one day you are old and decrepit, I will never dislike you and snub you, because I am not only my queen, but also my good friend and friend. You are a person who wears three positions, and your position in my heart is really as stable as a rock, and no one regrets it. Can you understand my heart for you?"
I was stunned, knowing that he meant a lot of things, so I forced a smile and said, "Understood." I really get it. So......" I lowered my head and frowned lightly, and said slowly, "I want to go to Xingyang." β
In the past two days, I have been thinking about it, and this is the only way to do it.
Liu Che held my hands stiffly and asked, "What's the matter?"
I thought about it, looked his heart straight into his eyes, and said, "I want to meet Yan Qixing." β
Liu Che slowly let go of me and looked at me carefully for a long time without saying a word.
"If Your Majesty is not at ease, it is better to accompany me. β
"That's what you decided after reading the case file?" he asked me rhetorically.
"Yes. "I knew I couldn't hide it from him.
"What do you want to do when you meet him?"
"Persuade him to surrender. β
"That's it?"
"And ......," I paused. "I hope he can go to Taoyuan and never be seen again. β
Liu Che looked at me in surprise, obviously he didn't expect such an answer.
The answer, of course, is not true.
In fact, I'll still walk alone, but I must see him before I go.
I really tried to persuade him to go back to modern times with me, but in the end I found it impossible.
Regardless of Yan Qixing's own psychological problems after killing his father, it is impossible for him to go with me, and there is another reason, what I have experienced in the past few months has made me know that it is impossible for me to be with him. Whether he loves me or not, the suspicion, hurt, and resentment between us are like a thick wall separating us from each other, and I can no longer trust him, and when trust is gone, love will cease to exist. In that case, why bother?
I knew for a long time that it was absolutely impossible to really kill the person I loved, even if I was on the battlefield, I never thought that I would really want him to die, I just wanted to defeat him, although now it seems that everything is meaningless. Now, although my heart is in tears because of his misfortune, I can finally die for him.
After all, he and I are people of two worlds, and our ideologies are like water and oil, irreconcilable. It is not about right or wrong, and the essence is contradictory.
As for Liu Che, of course, he is even more unlikely to go with me, which I have never thought of.
Therefore, the one who will go will only be me, going alone, just as if I came alone.
"If he refuses, what will happen to you?" Liu Che asked me.
"If I do my best to him, I will be at peace. I said.
Liu Che pondered for a moment and asked, "When will you leave?"
"You promised?" I was pleasantly surprised.
Liu Che tilted his face slightly, revealing a look of remembrance and yearning: "When we were trapped in the well in Sifang Town that day, you once said to me: The so-called trust is to not suspect when it is contrary to common sense, it is impossible and not wrong, and I hope to establish this relationship of trust with you." β
Xise's face suddenly froze.
Liu Che keenly observed me and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"
I shook my head: "That's right. It's just, I didn't expect you to remember. It's a pity ......"
"You believed the wrong person at the beginning, but I believed in my own eyes, and I will not believe you wrong. Liu Che's tone was gentle and firm, and his palm gently covered my hand.
I looked stupidly at the mess he was moved by, and suddenly I realized that I almost fell in love with him.
Almost......
There was a gleam in Liu Che's eyes, but unfortunately it was too hurried, I was too busy to be moved, and I didn't see what it was.
The smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield outside Xingyang City has not dispersed, the Han army suffered a big loss in the confrontation a few days ago, when Yan Qixing singled out two generals, two heavily armed cavalry suddenly rushed out from both wings, and the Han army was caught off guard in a hurry, and then Yan Qixing took advantage of the chaos to win. According to Li Ling, their pistols were very powerful in close combat, and most of the soldiers killed in the battle died under the guns of the rebels. Li Ling also hung up the lottery.
The emperor and the empress arrived at the front line in person, giving great encouragement to the defeated Han army, many generals have asked for battle, asking for a shame, but the emperor ordered to be exempted from war, that afternoon, Luan Zhen, the envoy of the Han court, entered Xingyang City, and made an appointment to meet Yan Qixing for me.
Half an hour later, we waited for the echoββββ a bloody human head hung on the flagpole at the head of Xingyang City.
When the news came, the soldiers of the full battalion were furious, and Wei Qing was the first to rush into the Chinese army tent and ask for a battle in Han Anguo.
The emperor was here, Han Anguo didn't dare to call the shots, Liu Che kept his face calm and didn't say a word, and his anger condensed on the tip of his eyebrows.
My heart was desolate, Yan Qixing's ruthlessness to such a point was something I never expected. I can't stop Wei Qing, and I don't want to stop him, I'm already disheartened.
Standing up, I knelt in front of Liu Che. "The concubines ask for war, please ask Your Majesty for permission. The voice was steady, but unmistakably firm.
It was overcast, and there was a slight wind. Outside Xingyang City, Liu Che boarded the lookout accompanied by Han Anguo and others.
The army was arrayed, the battle flags were whimpering and fluttering, and the eyes of all the soldiers were looking at the head of the city, where the heads of the envoys of the Han court were hung. Through the bronze mask, I said loudly to the generals around me, "We want to take back Lord Luan's head, who is going to go?"
As soon as the words came out, I saw a horse galloping out of the army like lightning, and it was extremely powerful, and in the blink of an eye, it had rushed out of the distance and stirred up smoke and dust all the way, "I'll go." A slightly childish voice came.
Horses are sweaty and bloody BMWs, and people on horses are naturally sick of Huo.
It was too late to stop him, so he had to hold his breath and watch him slip away. It is the newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers, and it is revealing at a young age. The distance of hundreds of meters is instantaneous, immediately bend the bow and set up the arrow, the bow is like a full moon, the arrow of "whoosh" is shot, the action is beautiful and the archery is like a god, and the head on the flagpole falls in response. Xiao Huo held a bow in his left hand, poked out with his right hand, grabbed the head neatly, and returned to the camp!
Not only the Han army, but even the rebels at the head of Xingyang City were stunned, it was too fast, so fast that people didn't have time to react, and when they came back to their senses, Xiao Huo had turned back into the army.
Finally, suddenly realized, tens of millions of people crowded, and cheers were like thunder.
Xiao Huo came to him, his face was calm and he didn't say a word, presented Luan Zhen's head, and quickly retreated into the military ranks. No arrogance or impetuosity, it is really the style of a general.
Wei Qing and I looked at each other and smiled. Wei Qing said vigorously: "This kid ...... This kid ...... "the whole old man looked comforting."
The Han army, which was overshadowed by Luan Zhen's death, suddenly became clear because of the unexpected and magical performance of a child, as if victory was about to be in sight, all the indignation was swept away, and the cheers came one after another, which was exciting.
Just as the Han army cheered, the heavy gate of Xingyang City slowly opened.
The sound of "squeaking" opening the door was particularly harsh, like an open gate of hell, and the soldiers of the Han army immediately quieted down, and soon, there was a tough battle to be fought.
The brigade of people and horses came out one after another, and the soldiers and horses were Xiao Xiao, and the murderous spirit was like severe frost. Liu Chengbi and Zhao Min (Liu Ling?) were wearing eye-catching red robes at the beginning, and the one with a fiery head on the steel helmet was Yan Qixing.
Two armies against each other!
The sky was getting more and more gloomy, and the air was suffocating under the low pressure.
After a while, a horse rushed out of the enemy camp, the silver helmet and silver armor were very beautiful, it was Liu Chengbi. After a long distance, he pulled his neck with a smile and shouted: "Liu Dan, sister, lady, the husband is here, please come out to meet and talk about lovesickness." β
The Han army was in an uproar, and the roars were repeated.
I was so angry at this public humiliation that I blushed and cursed and swung my knife to kill.
Wei Qing stopped me and said, "Niangniang doesn't need to be angry with this villain, wait for the minister to go and meet him." β
It was indeed a bit embarrassing to face the battle in this situation, and I suppressed my anger, and I said indignantly: "Okay, kill this turtle bastard for me." β
Wei Qing stepped forward, and the two of them fought together without saying a word, and the battlefield was quiet, only to see the swords coming and going to the cold light, and the war horses coming and going.
I squinted my eyes and stared closely at the two men on the field, inadvertently touching the other pair of eyes.
In fact, I was so far away that I couldn't even see my face clearly, let alone any line of sight, but I just felt, an extremely strong feeling, Yan Qixing was looking at me from afar.
I don't want to look at him.
Looking away and returning to the battlefield, the two fought inseparably, I didn't expect Liu Chengbi's horse kung fu to be so exquisite, and Wei Qing's performance was even more impressive, whether it was the strength of the move, the speed, the sophistication of the horse's control and the calm and resolute courage of the enemy, they all showed the style of a general who opened and closed wide. I never imagined that someone who was not as good as me would be so fierce on the horse. If it goes on like this, in another ten rounds, Liu Chengbi will be defeated.
was thinking about it, but saw the enemy camp galloping out and going straight to Wei Qing, that body was fiery red, and you didn't need to look closely to know who it was. Yan Qixing actually lowered himself to such a point, ready to fight two against one? I was shocked, and instinctively smashed my horse to meet it.
The two horses were only a few steps close, Yan Qixing reined in the horse and looked at me: "It's not me, it's my eldest brother." β
He was explaining the killing of his envoys.
With a cold face, I drew my sword out of its sheath and shouted, "Look at the sword." β
I don't want people, especially Liu Che, to see anything, I will do my best every time I make a sword.
"I got the Hetian jade back. β
Yan Qixing was stunned, and the sword in his hand was almost knocked away.
"I'm leaving, so I'll say hi to you. β
The blade of the sword slashed and made a piercing sound, and I intersected with his two swords, fighting each other. The shock in Yan Qixing's eyes was hard to hide.
The second horse staggered, and he said anxiously: "See you in the canal pond tonight." β
"I'm afraid I won't be able to get out. I said coldly. "He's there, too. β
Yan Qixing naturally understood who "he" was, and snorted and said, "See you and leave." β
As he was talking here, a miserable cry sounded over thereββββ Liu Chengbi was cut by Wei Qing and fell off the horse, he got up and fled in embarrassment, Wei Qing chased after him, and saw that Liu Chengbi's life was in danger.
"See you tonight. Yan Qixing turned the horse's head to meet him, "brushed" a few swords to force Wei Qing back, and then caught up with Liu Chengbi, grabbed him on the horse, and the two rode back to the camp quickly.
The sound of gold "Zheng Zheng" sounded.
As soon as the battle was fought, the soldiers of the Han army were very depressed. Especially Wei Qing, on the way back to the camp, stared at me vigorously, as if silently reproaching.
When he came back to see Liu Che, the first thing he said was: "He asked me to meet tonight." β
"In order to see each other, an envoy must die. Liu Che looked at me with a somewhat unfathomable gaze. "Is it worth it?"
"It's not worth it. I said. I knew he was angry. "But I must see him off on August 15. β
"No matter what, you can't bear to let him die. Liu Che's words suddenly sharpened, and it seemed that he was in a rather bad mood.
"Your Majesty, don't you think that after he leaves, it will be good for me and for you?" I couldn't help but retort.
God knows I'm also depressed.
The lack of an important commander in the rebel army will form a one-sided situation, which must be tempting for Liu Che.
I forgot that he was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and in addition to the safety of the country, his dignity and power were even more unprovoked.
"Let's wait until we meet tonight. When the time comes, whether he will leave or stay, whether he lives or dies, it will no longer be my business. I soothed him.
"You're going to go alone?"
"Let Wei Qing accompany me. β
Only Wei Qing can reassure him.
The moonlight is miserable.
Night fog rose on the surface of the canal.
There was a table on the shore, and there were drinks and dishes on it, and I sat quietly on the table, and Wei Qing stood beside him, waiting for Yan Qixing.
This is my farewell feast to him.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, two horses, Yan Qixing was the same as me, with only one entourageββββ Liu Ling?
I watched them dismount, not Liu Ling, Yan Qixing would not be stupid enough to bring his wife to the appointment at this time.
It's really strange, in my impression, Liu Ling and Zhao Min never seem to appear at the same time.
This is a notable issue.
Yan Qixing was dressed in casual clothes, which were the black and gold-rimmed clothes I was familiar with, blending in with the night and looking noble and quiet.
The night wind blew, blowing the lights hanging on the trees to the next level.
I looked at Yan Qixing intently, watching him walk step by step, walking very steadily and slowly. Then, his face was revealed in the light, his wheat-colored face was a little pale, and his black eyes were a little tired.
"You may be seated. I gestured.
He sat across from me, no more than three feet away from me.
"Sit down, everybody. I turned back to Wei Qing and said. "None of them are outsiders. Looking at Zhao Min.
Yan Qixing nodded, Zhao Min sat on the left, and Wei Qing sat on the right.
There were two wine jugs on the case, Zhao Min and Wei Qing each held a jug, and each poured wine for himself.
I looked up at the bright moon in the sky that was not yet full, and said softly: "In the ancient Chinese poems, there are many bright moon poems related to partingββββ the bright moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time, the lover complains about the night, and the evening is lovesick; I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. In the parting poem, wine is also indispensableββββ Feipeng is far away, and he has a glass in his hand; he is drunk in ancient and modern times; There is a moon and wine tonight, just parting, all of you are my friends Liu Danβββ Zhao Min, Wei Qing, Yan Qixing, although each is its master, but the parting is imminent, I hope you will drink a glass of wine and make a trip for me!"
When these words came out, the two of them were taken aback and froze, Yan Qixing was silent and drank the wine.
Wei Qing was stunned and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
"Meaning, I, where I came from, where I am going. I lowered my head and muttered, taking the wine.
"Back to the Western Regions?"
"Back to Taoyuan?"
Zhao Min and Wei Qing asked at the same time.
It seems that Liu Che is really kind to Wei Qing, and he actually told him about it.
I smiled bitterly and said, "If you don't go back to the Western Regions, there will be no peach source, and there will never be a peach source." After a pause, I asked Wei Qing, "Zhongqing, do you want your sister to come back to life?"
Wei Qing was stunned, nodded subconsciously and said, "Of course." β
"What about you, Zhao Min, do you want your sister to come back to life, do you want Yan Qixing to live well?"
Hearing the latter sentence, Yan Qixing was stunned.
Zhao Min also looked at it with a pair of big eyes and looked at it in disbelief, but nodded "yes" with great certainty.
"That's good, that's good. I smiled exaggeratedly. "You can help me, help me and help yourself. Help me get out of here, leave the Han Dynasty, and go back to my own time, so that everything will be restored, everyone will be in place, everyone will be happy, everyone will be happy. β
Wei Qing stared at me with thick eyebrows, and said slowly: "Your Majesty said that you want to use the power of Hetian Yu to send Yan Qixing to Taoyuan and never appear again, it turns out that you are deceiving Your Majesty again." β
"That's right. I put my smile away, lifted my eyes, and looked at him through the night mist. "I lied to him from the beginning, not just him, everyone was lied to me. Except for Lord Yan. β
His gaze moved to Yan Qixing, his face was dark and difficult to see, and he couldn't see his emotions.
"Why did you deceive us?" Wei Qing's face turned gloomy.
"Don't get excited. I smiled faintly. "There is no malice in my deception. It's just that there are some things that are too shocking to say, so I can't say them. But now I can say ......"
"In the first year of Yuanshuo, if I remember correctly, it should be that five years later, Wei Zifu was named the Empress of the Han Dynasty; in the same year, Wei Qing was named the Marquis of Changping; in the fifth year of Yuanshuo, Wei Qing was awarded the title of General Sima; in the sixth year of Yuanshuo, Huo Qubing was awarded the title of Champion Hou; in the second year of Yuanzhen, Huo Quai's worship of the Great Sima Hussar General, and the same rank as the general. β
I took a sip of wine and said a word of historical fact, and when I said a word of historical fact, Wei Qing's eyes doubled.
"In the future, you will also marry your beloved Princess Pingyang. As an additional sentence, Wei Qing's face turned red, and his mouth was half open in astonishment.
Zhao Min was shocked and asked, "Brother Dan, how do you know what will happen five years later?"
"Because she's two thousand years later. Yan Qixing explained for me.
Wei Qing and Zhao Min were even more confused.
"I said that Hetian jade is the key. "I hung my head and didn't look at anyone, not wanting to look at their shocked faces. "But it's not an ordinary key, it's the key to open the door of time and space, and as soon as the door of time and space opens, I will travel through time to the futureββββ two years from now, which will belong to my time. β
"I am a descendant who was born two thousand years after you, and you are my ancestors two thousand years ago. β
The two first-time informants were stunned.
"Would you like to help me?" I asked Yan Qixing.
"How can I help?"
"I told the emperor, I will persuade you to leave here and go to Taoyuan, if you agree, we will meet in Nanshan on August 15, I will give you Hetian jade, and personally send you on your way. Of course, it won't be you who will leave, but me. β
"Why all the trouble?"
"Because ......," I said, holding up the glass and taking a sip. "I haven't lied yet, I shouldn't have told him the exact date of August 15, and it's really self-defeating to make up a story. Now that he's on guard, he's not going to let me go, so you have to help me. β
Yan Qixing looked at me in a daze, and from such a close distance, he could clearly see his Adam's apple rolling up and down. It took a long time for him to spit out a few words: "Why do I have to help you?"
I frowned, stared at him coldly, and cruelly said a fact: "If you help me, you don't have to experience the pain of killing my father with my own hands!"
"Liu Dan!!" Zhao Min screamed.
Yan Qixing's already pale face suddenly turned gray, and his expression was instantly dyed with a painful undertone, and his eyes stared at me angrily and sadly.
"Am I wrong?" lowered my eyelids, unable to see his painfully twisted face, and I continued to rub salt into the wound. "Didn't that experience make you feel painful? You even plan to use this rebellion to find a place for yourself to be buried. Isn't death the best destination for you? I'm not wrong...... So whether this uprising succeeds or not, you're dead, right? β
"Liu Dan, don't go too far. Zhao Min stood up "Teng", his beautiful face was flushed, and he was angry.
"I'm telling the truth, haven't you also approached me for this?" I sneered, fiercely. "If you don't want Yan Qixing to die...... Just keep listening to me. Sit down !!"
Perhaps it was my fierce expression and tone that shocked her, Zhao Min gritted his teeth and sat down again.
I had some uneven breath, took a few deep breaths and looked at Yan Qixing again, he had calmed down and looked indifferent.
"As long as I leave, Zhou Renjun will no longer exist, many things will not happen, history will be restored, your father will not die, Zhao Min's sister will not die, and Wei Zifu will not die. When the time comes, the world will be peaceful and happy and happy ending, don't you know this best?" I held my breath in my heart, and my words were fast and aggressive. "So don't use words to stimulate me, I know that there is actually one more person in this world, as long as I am not there, everything is ...... Everything will ......"
I grabbed the cup and drank the rest of it in one gulp.
Yan Qixing finally couldn't help it, and slammed the table and shouted: "Since Hetian Yu has already been obtained, why didn't you talk about it during the meeting?"
"Because then I thought I still had a chance to ......," I stood up and raised my voice to growl. "Because I'm gone, I'll never come back!!," I glared at him, blurring in my eyes......
"Actually, it's the same in the morning, it's the same in the evening. β
I calmed down and pushed back the tears.
"It's not the same. Yan Qixing clenched his fists and suppressed his excitement. "At the very least, it can be done in a different way. β
I snorted through my nose and sat down. The ending has already been written, what does it matter in the way?
"I don't understand. Wei Qing interrupted us by saying something. "Why did Liu Dan change the situation as soon as he left? What is the so-called restoration of history?"
Yan Qixing and I are both immersed in our own thoughts, and no one is taking this stubble.
Calming down, I took the pot and poured wine, and said, "Come, there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, this cup of wine wishes me all the way, hum, but don't wear it until four thousand years later." β
That's a big problem.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank in silence.
After three glasses of wine, Zhao Min suddenly stood up, hesitated and said to Wei Qing, "Aren't you leaving?"
Wei Qing looked at her with a strange face, then at Yan Qixing and me, sighed heavily, and stood up.
"Sit down. I said quietly. "I don't have anything unsightly with Lord Yan, so I don't need to avoid it. β
Yan Qixing raised his head sharply and squinted at me, his deep gaze hinting at annoyance.
"This place is about three days away from Nanshan, and on the thirteenth of August, Your Majesty will order the garrisons along the way to open the checkpoints and let you go. However, there is one condition, Lord Yan must not have more than thirty guards. β
This condition was so harsh that even Wei Qing frowned.
Yan Qixing said lightly: "No need, eighteen people are enough." β
"Master?" Zhao Min was anxious. "If that Liu Che is secretly killing, won't the master have no way to fight back?"
"Your Majesty will not do this. "I believe in Liu Che. "He promised me that I would do it. β
"I don't believe him. Zhao Min said sharply.
I raised my eyebrows and said impatiently, "If you don't believe him, you can always trust me." Rest assured, I won't let your master lose a hair. β
"Master?!" Zhao Min turned to Yan Qixing angrily.
In fact, while we were talking, Yan Qixing kept looking at me, his eyes were a little worried and a little sad, and as soon as my eyes met him, he avoided them.
"I don't have to fight back. He said.
"So you agreed?" I wasn't interested in not fighting back.
"Yes. But I also have conditions. β
I was stunned: "What conditions?"
"I'll tell you next time we meet. β
"Good. β
As long as you don't delay the business, it's easy to say anything.
Wei Qing asked suspiciously: "There are hundreds of thousands of rebels in Xingyang City, only Lord Yan surrendered, Your Majesty is wise and wise, how can you easily accept it?"
"Maybe in the eyes of Your Majesty, Yan Qixing alone can be worth a million troops. That's how I explained. "The boss is gone, and the rebels will soon be scattered. β
This is not the case, of course.
Liu Cheken agreed to my request, mostly because he wanted to establish a "trusting" relationship with me. This is a litmus test to see if this "trust" can be trusted.
He poured a full bottle of wine for everyone and said happily, "Come, celebrate our agreement." β
"I wish us all the best in the Mid-Autumn Festival. β
After two glasses of wine in a row, the faces of the four of them were rosy, but they had their own thoughts, and they seemed to have nothing to say.
I stood up, picked up the last glass of wine, and said earnestly, "Finally, bless the three of you with this glass of wine." In the years to come without me, live well and happily. After two thousand, I wish the three of them a safe life. β
After drinking the wine cup, he drew a beautiful arc in the air and disappeared into the night.
"Farewell!" I solemnly bowed to Yan and Zhao, took two steps back, turned around and walked towards the horse, and flew on the horse to leave.
Tears finally flowed.
But no one saw it.
"Do you know why Your Majesty sent me to accompany me?"
"You know, isn't it just being a spy?"
"You're not worried that I'm going to betray you?"
"You won't. Even if it wasn't for your sister, you wouldn't do it. β
"Why are you so sure?"
"Because you are my friend, my only friend in the Han Dynasty. β
Zhao Min is not my friend, she only has Yan Qixing in her heart, Yan Qixing is not my friend, I am not chic to the extent of "goodbye is also a friend".
There is only Wei Qing.
Besides, my departure is only beneficial to everyone, isn't it?
Once upon a time, I turned out to be a superfluous person.
I went back to Chang'an with Liu Che, and the next few days were exceptionally peaceful. Needless to say, the Xingyang side did not move; Wang Hui succeeded in containing the rebels' southeastern forces in Shouchun, and the southeastern front was not far from the decisive battle......
The smile on Liu Che's face grew. Finally one night, he had a heart, and I didn't refuse, and with the intention of drinking, I did the "Zhou Gong Ceremony" that ordinary couples should complete.
My feelings are mixed, there is comfort, there is gratitude, there is guilt, and there is a little ...... Love, I'm not sure. Anyway, I was very dedicated that night.
Then until the Mid-Autumn Festival, we lived together. And I am extremely gentle with Liu Che. I seized the time to chat with him, and told him all the relevant policies, events, hidden dangers and solutions I knew about the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Although I know that I am doing something stupid, who knows, maybe in another time and another space, these things will be stored in the subconscious.
The time has finally come.
On August 13, there was a report that Yan Qixing took eighteen knights to leave Xingyang, all the way unimpeded, passing through various checkpoints and heading straight to the direction of Nanshan.
On August 14, Wei Qing and Huo Quai, who had rushed back from Xingyang, brought 300 selected iron horsemen, protected me and Liu Che the next day, and left Chang'an in the chariot of the emperor and queen.
Through the screen window, looking at the towering city wall of Chang'an, which is getting farther and farther away, exuding a seemingly solemn and sacred brilliance under the shadow of the sun, immediately, a faint sorrow rises from the bottom of my heart.
Such a real era, such a real Chang'an, will never be seen again. There will be no more Shanglin Yuan, there will be no more Weiyang Palace, the graceful and beautiful palace maids, the guards with golden halberds, the high-spirited courtiers, and the simple and honest people will never see each other again. The Qin period, the bright moon and the Han period will soon be submerged in the dust of history, and will eventually become a corner of the ancient books, which cannot be truly shown to people two thousand years later.
And I, in just three or four years, seem to have gone through my entire life. The bits and pieces of happiness, sorrow, happiness, and pain converge into the river of life, and in the distant time and space, they sing ancient feelings; those glorious years of the palace battlefield, those pride and affection of indulging horses and singing, finally become the mellow wine made by time, and in every long night in the future, repeatedly tasted, recalled, and repeatedly intoxicated. As you can imagine, the future will not be so exciting, and I will remember it for the rest of my life.
"Aiqing seems to be thinking?" Liu Che on the side gently took my hand.
"I think Chang'an City is really beautiful. I retracted my thoughts and smiled. "I have traveled to many places and seen many cities, and Chang'an is the most beautiful and brilliant one. When I first came, I never imagined that it would become my other hometown, a second home that was more important than my real hometown. β
"It will also become Aiqing's eternal hometown. Liu Che said.
"Yes, ...... forever"
The last bit of image of Chang'an City also completely disappeared before my eyes, and the road ahead was winding and winding, and there seemed to be no end.
August 15, the entrance of the mountain village.
Yan Qixing was in front, and the eighteen iron horsemen were standing far behindβI saw Zhao Min, who was in a different position, facing us. Under the remnant sun, his tall body was lonely and lonely.
got out of the chariot with Liu Che's men, and Yan Qixing stood in place, without any sense of courtesy.
"Your Majesty. I gently shook Liu Che's hand, worried that he would go crazy.
"It doesn't matter. "Liu Che is generous, under the protection of Wei Qing and other guards, he took me hand in hand.
Yan Qixing's gaze first fell on the hands of me and Liu Che, and then silently followed, and the big guy walked towards the village.
Since Zhao Min's accident, the people in the village have been moved away by the imperial court, leaving only an empty village full of desolation. I can't imagine that I will go all the way and eventually return to the starting point, is this fate? If so, why should I come here in vain?
Passing through the mountain village, seeing that the mountains were high and dense and the forests were too dense to ride, everyone walked into Nanshan. A few hours later, the moon rose, the clearest and brightest full moon night I had ever seen in the Han Dynasty, and the last full moon night!
The night was long, the mist was like smoke, and we came to that large clearing. The wagon was still there, but the garage had been torn down, the body was covered with dust, and the eternal moonlight shone on it through the cracks in the dense forest, abrupt and strange, it was not something of this era.
Yan Qixing took his eighteen iron horses, Wei Qing, Xiao Huo, and Liu Che took three hundred iron guards, and stood in front of the station wagon in two columns.
Wei Qing approached it with a shovel and dug out a square box in the dirt on the side of the car. After regaining the Hetian jade, I hid it in this place where I thought it was safe.
Liu Che instructed, Wei Qing held the box, stepped on the soft fallen leaves, walked to Yan Qixing, and handed the box to him.
Suddenly, the box flew up and flew into the arms of one of the guards, and the cold light flashed under the moon, and Wei Qinghu leaped forward, and the short blade in his hand went straight into Yan Qixing!
"Seven lines!" I exclaimed, instinctively trying to rush over, and immediately two people put steel knives on my neck, one left and one right.
"Master?" it was Xiao Huo, and this sudden change also made him stunned.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, sure enough, I deceived everyone and me.
Over there, Yan Qixing's reaction was quick, and he twisted the hand that grabbed him with the knife outward, Wei Qing's arm was in pain, and the short knife fell to the ground, turning over and jumping away, away from his body.
Immediately, countless sharp arrows flew out from the dense forest in the dark night, shooting at Yan Qixing, shooting at the eighteen followers who were about to make a move.
When I went to the Huns that year, I saw Yan Qixing perform a special stunt, at this time it was undoubtedly a reproduction of the scene, only to see his body like lightning speeding, left hand and right hug, in the blink of an eye full of arrows, and then the body rotated like a spinning top, long sleeves of the wind, sharp arrows shot out, and a scream immediately sounded in the depths of the dense forest.
"Liu Che, you really can't be trusted. Yan Qixing shouted angrily and rushed towards Liu Che, who was protected behind the iron guard. At the same time, the other eighteen iron horsemen had already flashed their swords and killed Liu Che! The three hundred iron guards around Liu Che were facing each other, although the number was very outnumbered, but those eighteen people were like eighteen fierce tigers, one could be worth ten, plus Yan Qixing, who would be killed or injured if they were touched, the iron guards could not help them for a while, and the battle was very fierce.
After the fight, I had been brought to Liu Che's side, and Xiao Huo looked at me, not knowing what to do.
"Is that the trust you place in me?" I asked, mockingly, with a composure that I already knew it.
Liu Che avoided my sharp eyes, took the box handed by the iron guard, and said lightly: "I am the Son of Heaven, in this world, I want to get it; you Liu Dan, I also want to get it; immortality, how can I give it up and give it to the enemy?"
Live forever?
Wei Qing didn't betray me!
"You are so clever that you don't know the reason why you don't allow others to sleep on your side when you lie down?" he added fiercely.
By the way, this is the real Liu Che!
This is the real Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!
In fact, the two of us have long known that this matter is to deceive each other and use each other from beginning to end, he wants to lead Yan Qixing to kill, and I want to take advantage of this chaos to leave, so no matter how flawed my excuses are, Liu Che will still agree, and I am happy to push the boat, because no matter who wins or loses between them, the final winner will be me, or all of us.
If that's a victory, too.
My departure is a win-win-win situation. On this point, Yan Qixing knows best.
Conspiracy, deception, and calculation, because each has a scheming, knowing that it is a trap, everyone also stretches their necks and jumps in. What about our sincerity, what about those that seem to be nothing, that have been polluted, that have only a glimmer of light in the haze? I, Yan Qixing, Liu Che, can't explain a confused account, who can calculate it?
Liu Che stroked the box, and then said: "I promise you that before the age of forty, I will pacify the Huns, and then pass on to you and my emperor, at that time, I will retire to the paradise with you, live forever, and live that immortal life." β
I closed my eyes, and my heart was full of flavors.
At this moment, an exclamation came from Liu Che's mouth, and when he opened his eyes, Liu Che was looking in the direction of the station wagon, with an angry face.
There was a man standing in the station wagon, dressed in white fluttering like a fairy, it was Fuyong! I could see it clearly in the light of the torch, and he was holding the box in his hand. It turned out that taking advantage of the chaos of the scene, he suddenly appeared and snatched the box.
"Come on, kill him for me!" Liu Che was furious, raised his hand and pointed at Fu Yong, his fingers trembling slightly.
The random arrow immediately shot at Fuyong. Fu Yong's kung fu is not good, but his light skill is surprisingly high. Like a big bird, he jumped off the car, took a few ups and downs, and disappeared into the night forest, leaving only one sentence: "Brother, since you have succeeded, why don't you retreat quickly?"
Wei Qing led dozens of iron guard masters to chase after him.
I was a little confused, and I couldn't turn my brain.
What does it mean to have already succeeded?
Yan Qixing was besieged by many iron guards, and the eighteen attendants around him also died, only one Zhao Min, who always fought side by side with him, desperately defended his master and lover.
"Let me go. As he spoke, he pushed away the two guards who were holding me hostage, but Liu Che didn't stop me and let me go.
"Get out of the way, everybody!"
My screams were so piercing that the guards gave way to me. I'm going to ask him, I'm going to ask clearly, the last time, really the last time.
I walked forward, all the way forward, to Yan Qixing.
"Is that you?" I asked, stunned. "You designed it with Fuyong?"
"It's not. Yan Qixing's blood-stained face was blue and red, and he flatly denied it.
I don't believe it, my mind has been knotted and only intuition remains.
I was still stunned and calmly: "You're lying to me again." There is no patricide, and there is no pain that is worse than death, right? What you want is a great Han country, and now you add a piece of Hetian jade, right? You have been lying to me from beginning to end, just like I have been lying to Liu Che from beginning to end, right?"
It was so cold, like the South Pole or the North Pole, or immersed in the cold deep sea, from the hair to the pores of the sweat, the cold wind penetrated my internal organs.
"No, it's not ......" Yan Qixing shook his head again and again, and there seemed to be tears flowing out of his eyes. "I didn't lie to you, the most unlikely person in the world for me to deceive is you, you have to believe me, believe me Liu Dan. β
His words were earnest, his expression was sad, but I would never believe him.
Step by step, I stepped back, stepped back...... I smiled and stepped back......
"Liu Dan!" he took a few steps and reached out to grab me, "bang, bang, bang" three gunshots, and three clouds of blood mist flew from his chest.
Tears finally flowed, and he pointed his outstretched hand at me, and fell to the sky!!
"Don't !!" The woman's voice was like a ghost in the underworld, and it was silent after it sounded.
Zhao Min was pierced through the body with a sword and fell to Yan Qixing's side.
I looked at her blankly, then at him, and when I looked back, I saw Liu Che with a gun in his hand, and the muzzle of the gun was still smoking.
"Yan Qixing?" I heard a strange voice, coming from my own chest.
The head "buzzed", and the sky swirled. But I could still walk up to him, staring at the blood flowing from "Bobo", Yan Qixing's eyes looked at me fixedly, and he opened his mouth, as if he had something to say.
I don't know how I knelt beside him, and I don't know how to pick up his body, "Yan Qixing!" I called his name, and my hands were covered in slippery blood.
"Yan Qixing?" I called again, and my voice began to tremble.
Yan Qixing's once dark eyes looked at me blankly, and he said with difficulty: "On that day, you promised me a condition. β
It seems like there's such a thing, but why can't I think of it?
My consciousness was blurred, and I could only nod my head indiscriminately: "Oh, oh, you say, you say." β
He smiled and, like a child, pleaded earnestly: "I want you, come back to me." β
My heart exploded!
"What do you mean?" my eyes darkened, and my voice trembled to speechlessness.
"I want you, come back to me. His voice began to fade, and his vision began to drift.
"Yan Qixing, Yan Qixing!!" I shook his body and shouted desperately. "Don't sleep, you can't sleep, wake up and tell me clearly!"
His spirits seemed to be lifted, his eyes were in focus again, and he smiled and comforted me, saying, "Don't be sad, silly girl...... Don't shed tears, I'm dead...... Will come back to life. β
"Come to life?" I repeated the three words with difficulty, and my mind was a little clear. Come to life, he can come back to life.
Yan Qixing's voice was intermittent: "At that time, you will come back to me...... No matter where I am, no matter where I am...... You must find me and ...... with me Together. β
"Come back, come back...... I know I promised you that I would come back......" I nodded desperately, holding my breath, afraid that the tears would blur my vision and I would not be able to see his face clearly.
"But what if you don't love me anymore?"
"Find a way...... Let me love you. His voice was low.
"What if you don't know me anymore?"
"Find a way...... Let me know you. His voice grew weaker and weaker,
"What if you hate me and ignore me?"
"You're ...... Stalk, don't give up!" his voice was almost inaudible.
"Yan Qixing?" I whispered by his name.
"Sifang Town, it's not me...... I, never thought about it...... Hurt your ......"
He smiled one last and said the last three words: "I, love, you ......"
The body sank in the crook of my arm.
I hugged him tightly, tears streaming down my face.
Zhao Min, who was lying on the side, suddenly laughed loudly, blood and tears.
"You are conceited and smart, but you are actually the biggest fool in the world...... Lord Fuyong has been ...... several times If you want to get rid of you quickly, it's all up to the master to save you...... On the Huijilou boat, do you think it was an accident? In fact, it was the master and I who designed it to force you to leave, and even the horses were prepared for you...... For the sake of you, the master even killed Liu Ling by mistake...... It's a pity that in his life, he did everything to avenge his blood, but he met you...... Nemesis, revenge, will destroy your hands. β
Her face suddenly distorted, and there was a terrifying beauty: "Why does he love you so much? Why do you treat him like this? I hate you! I want to kill you! I want to ...... Kill you......"
Zhao Min is dead.
I suddenly envied her, wishing that I was the one who died.
"Why did you do this to me?" I tearfully asked the lifeless man in my arms. "Why did you push me away? Why didn't you tell me the truth? Why...... You're going to push me away?"
Everything was missed.
Yan Qixing was right, if he had known earlier, he would have done it for me in another way, instead of ...... Death!
I lowered my head and kissed him on the lips.
"Wait for me. I said.
Put him down, get up to wipe away his tears, and look up at the moonlight.
"Liu Dan?" Liu Che walked towards me.
I took a few steps back and ran as fast as I could towards the station wagon.
"What are you doing?" he cried out anxiously.
"Master!" After all, Xiao Huo was already crying.
I quickly climbed onto the roof of the car, and in the moonlight, in the firelight, stared at him - Liu Che!
"Actually, I lied to you. I stated quietly. "There has never been a paradise, there is no immortality, and I don't come from the Western Regions......"
"Aiqing, come down. He cautiously stepped forward and coaxed me. "As long as you are safe, I will not be guilty of the past. β
"All stand back!" I cried out, ripping open the placket of my coat to reveal a ring of bombs strapped to my waist inside.
"Otherwise, I'll detonate the explosives, and everyone will die!"
Liu Che was shocked, hurriedly ordered everyone to retreat, looked at me in horror and said, "Aiqing, don't do it willfully." β
"I'm not willful. I smiled miserably. "This time it's not capricious. 'Cause I'm leaving......"
He took out a small purple box from his arrow sleeve, held it on the palm of his hand, and whispered, "This is the key to going home." β
"Liu Dan?!!" Liu Che's face suddenly turned pale.
"I'm sorry Liu Che, next time we see you, you must not fall in love with me. β
His gaze slid over Yan Qixing, who was lying on the ground......
"Wait for me, I'll be back soon. β
The small purple box slowly opened, the moonlight poured down, and the white halo was like a firework.
