Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 222 You will be with her, right?
I watched the two of them standing so close, but I had the illusion of looking at each other from afar, and suddenly felt choked up.

They look at each other without love, but they are used to such tenderness and peace. I used to think that true love can rival anything in the world, but now I know that love may be very important, but there are many more important things Things lead people's lives.

They have already made a choice.

But what about me?
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt an inexplicable panic. I immediately turned around and walked towards the way I came, but there was a strange winding corridor all around me. The more anxious I became, the more panicked I gradually lost my way.

Walking through a dense bamboo forest, I suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of me, and it turned out to be the person I was thinking of!
"Ling—"

I just opened my mouth to call him, but found that his movements were very light, very light, and slowly walked into a garden, I hurriedly followed, but found that there was already a person sitting at the stone table in the garden.

Because I just woke up from a coma, I almost still have the feeling of being in a dream, so when I saw them at this moment, my consciousness was a little trance, and I stood silently behind the arch and didn't speak anymore.

The man sitting in the garden was holding a sword in his hand. It was shining coldly, but there were some imperceptible rust spots on the hilt. It shone like a flame in the sunlight. It was dazzling. It was the country of Suzaku. But when he looked at this sword, it seemed that he was not looking at a sharp weapon that made the world daunting, but an unforgettable person.

I can clearly see the faint sadness in those eyes, but it is also the most helpless sadness.

The ghost face walked in front of him and sat down slowly.

"It's you?"

"it's me."

He put the Moon Chaser Sword on the stone table, looked at the other party silently, as if he was thinking about what to say, and after a while he said: "What about her?"

"It's all right."

"Well," he was silent for a while, and said, "What do you want to say when you come to see me?"

"At first, we all thought you were dead."

He smiled faintly: "I also thought I was dead, but when I woke up, I found that I had drifted to Suzaku Kingdom, but at that time, I had already stepped into the gate of hell. I pulled back from hell, and then because of the serious injury, I couldn't stand up from the bed for three years."

"now what?"

"Finally moving freely."

The ghost face glanced at him, and then looked at his legs. Although it was covered by the long gown, one could imagine how badly he had suffered from the posture when he ran out of the temple before, and he was a little stiff: "She ——At the beginning, she didn't think that it would be like this, she—”

"Are you explaining to me for her?"

The ghost face looked up at him, but the other party looked at him calmly for an unknown amount of time, then suddenly smiled: "It seems that I can rest assured."

"what?"

"Don't worry about handing her over to you."

"I?"

"Well," he nodded, looking into Ghost Face's eyes: "At the beginning, the reason why I hesitated was because her personality was too strong, and your temper was too extreme. You are like two sharpest needles. The closer you get, the more you will hurt the opponent..."

The ghost face's eyes narrowed, revealing a trace of pain.

"But now, you have changed."

"Oh?" He raised his eyes slightly: "What has become of me?"

The other party smiled faintly, looked up at the rolling mountains and rivers around the manor, and said with a smile: "Many people say that women should be like water, full of tenderness, and men should be like mountains, towering and unyielding. One day, a man should be like the sea, open to all rivers, and tolerate everything about her."

"You think, do I?"

"You are, I know you are by looking at her now. She has been stable and introverted since she was a child, and she refuses to easily express her emotions in front of others, even relatives. She treats you well, maybe because she likes you , but if she loses her temper with you, then—" He smiled suddenly, and patted Ghost Face's shoulder: "You can bear some."

Ghost Mian's eyes widened slightly, and he couldn't see clearly whether the look in his eyes was joy or worry at this moment, but he could only see the corners of his lips twitched, a smile that seemed to be not a smile.

"She has fulfilled half of your dreams, and now—you'll be with her, won't you?"

The ghost face's eyes flashed: "You, don't you intend to recognize her?"

"..."

"Why? You should know that she has been guilty of what happened back then, and the Xuanyuan royal family has been unwilling to forgive her all these years."

"The fate of life should be like this, sometimes mourning and sometimes singing. The fate between me and her, and the surname Xuanyuan is over. Now, I am the son-in-law of Suzaku Kingdom. It is my greatest happiness to forget the past and get a confidant. I don't want to break it." This peace, besides—”

He sighed deeply: "I've come this far, what's the difference between admitting and not admitting? It's just to add to her guilt once, and let her think about what happened back then, so why bother?"

His voice was very peaceful, and his tone was also very peaceful, but when he said these words, there was a kind of wordless determination.

I stood leaning against the stone gate, watching the two men get up silently, bowed to each other, and the ghost face turned and left.

Just after taking a few steps, he stopped again and turned around: "Now, in your life, do you really have no regrets at all?"

The man silently turned his back to him and remained silent. After an unknown amount of time, he picked up the dazzling Moon Chaser Sword on the table and wiped it gently with a clean silk handkerchief. His movements It was very detailed, so detailed that it was almost invisible, his fingertips were actually trembling, as if what he was wiping was not the Moon Chaser Sword, but to erase all the memories about this sword.

The ghost face looked at him quietly for a long time, then slowly turned and left.

As soon as he walked out of the archway, he faced Yu He and Mu Liusha who were walking this way, and was taken aback for a moment. Mu Liusha glanced at him, his eyes flickered but he didn't say anything, and walked straight towards the garden. He stopped at the same spot and watched the figure disappear into the arch, but it was only indifferent, the same as Mu Liusha's eyes when he left, without the slightest nostalgia.

The ghost face walked in front of him: "How?"

Yu He smiled: "It's okay."

He said it's all right, even if it's really all right, Ghost Face doesn't talk too much, he turned around and said, "Since the crisis of Suzaku Kingdom has been resolved, we should think about how to go next, where are your people..."

While talking, the two slowly walked towards the path next to them.

After their backs disappeared, I walked out from the shadow of the corridor. The cold wind blew, my cheeks felt a little cold, but my chest was hot when I touched it.

In such a completely unfamiliar environment, I quickly lost my way again. Fortunately, this time he found me quickly.

When he found me, I was leaning on the chair in the long pavilion, my face was pale and panting, and I was covering my chest with one hand. When he saw this, he hurried over and put his arms around my trembling body: "What's wrong with you?"

"pain……"

After saying this word, I had no way to continue. He gritted his teeth faintly, as if he was about to get angry, but he didn't after all. He just held my right hand that was sweating profusely with one hand.

I glanced at him and showed a pale smile: "Am I being capricious?"

"..."

"If you think so, you can tell me."

"..."

His breathing seemed to have stopped, and after a long time, a little light flashed in those bottomless eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "I only hope that your willfulness will not hurt yourself."

I nodded silently.

He helped me to send me back to the house, but it was also very difficult for me to get up. He frowned, and simply hugged me horizontally. He is in his arms.

He walked back with big strides, and there were not many people around, but for some reason, my face was burning, and my face was red to the ears, so I could only gently lower my head and bury my face in his arms.

This section of the road is actually not long, but we seem to have walked for a long time.

When he finally carried me back to the room and put me on the bed, my face was already blushing, and I withdrew my hand from his neck. He coughed lightly, and his voice was also a bit strange, and he pulled the quilt to cover me : "Don't catch a cold."

I'm sweating all over.

Looking up at him, he seemed to be blushing too, and he could feel the hotness through a layer of silver mask. The two of them looked at each other like this, but they couldn't say anything, and the room was full of embarrassment.

As if to avoid such embarrassment, I said softly, "Where's Yu He?"

"he's gone."

"Gone?" I was startled, and looked up at him: "Where did you go?"

"I told him to go find Liang Chengxin."

Liang Chengxin?My heart skipped a beat.

He looked down at me and said softly: "You can't go on like this for the rest of your life. Even if you can bear the pain, your body and mind can't. Cure it, at least you don’t have to suffer so much.”

"Anyone can find Liang Chengxin, why did you let Yu He go!?"

My voice unconsciously added some sternness, and his eyes darkened: "Why can't you let him go?"

"You clearly know the current situation, the next game we have to play, he is indispensable!"

"What else do you want to play?"

His voice was low, with an indescribable pressure, and he slowly raised his eyes to look at me: "The Suzaku Kingdom has never intended to fight for hegemony. Leading here, don’t tell me—you must destroy the Suzaku Kingdom to be at ease?”

I laughed out of anger, "Is that why you transferred Yu He away?"

"That's why he's willing to leave himself."

I raised my eyebrows—it is true that Yu He once said that he would never guide the sword to the frontier. If he guessed that my next move was to destroy the Suzaku, he would not block it, but he would definitely not make it for my vanguard. I understand, but this person in front of me...

The throbbing pain in my chest surged up one after another, I grabbed the brocade quilt vigorously, my fingertips turned white, and looked at him: "In your eyes, I am a murderer, I only know how to beat and kill, and I will kill you. Pain for others, right?"

"Xingsi..."

His tone was also a little helpless, and he looked at me and said: "The White Tiger Kingdom was destroyed, and Xuanyuan Kingdom is your homeland. Most of the Central Plains has already fallen into your hands. Mu Liusha is a person who keeps his promises. She said no Going north will definitely not, why bother forcing her to come here, even if you still want to go north, now that the White Tiger has been wiped out and Helian City can't stand alone, he can't possibly become an obstacle for you to unify the Central Plains."

I sneered: "You mean, Helian City will surrender the whole city?"

"Of course he won't, but if you are in line with Baihu and Xuanyuan, Helian City will naturally know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Besides, the people of Xuanwu Kingdom have always hoped to go south and return to their homeland. If they can be included in the alliance, then slowly eat away at Helian City Sooner or later, the Xuanwu Kingdom will be reintroduced into the territory of the Central Plains."

"Do you think he will agree with his ambition?"

"Based on his ambition, of course he won't, but the general trend of the world cannot be controlled by one person's ambition!"

He looked into my eyes and said solemnly: "It won't be because of you, nor because of him."

I grabbed the brocade quilt tightly and didn't speak.

The two of them fell silent like this, and they didn't know whether they were speechless or in a silent confrontation. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at me. With such a tight distance, my rapid breathing and his long breathing were almost entangled. Together, after an unknown amount of time, a big warm hand covered the back of my hand. I looked down and saw that he was gently opening my fingers.

I was a little angry and stubborn, but I was still pulled away by him. He gently held my hand, and my fingertips were twitching because of the pain.

"Xingsi..." He looked into my eyes and said, "Listen to me once!"

Half a month later, we headed north.

This time it was much more comfortable than when we came here. Not only was there a huge crowd, but even the new monarch of Suzaku Kingdom came to see him off. No wonder he saw so many people kneeling and worshiping along the way.

I sat in the carriage and looked out through the bamboo curtain. Suddenly, a familiar scenery flashed in front of me.

Pavilions, terraces and pavilions, blue waves and fragrant pavilions.

My heart moved slightly, and I subconsciously approached the window to take another look, but the man on the horse outside the carriage suddenly rushed a few steps, blocking my sight.

I froze for a moment, raised the curtain and looked at him, with an expression as cold as a mask.

I snorted and dropped the curtain.

And the familiar scenery is slowly, slowly left behind by us, and integrated into this piece of beautiful mountains and rivers, the grass grows and the warblers fly.

When I finally arrived at the ferry, there was a dragon boat that was much bigger than before, standing in front of my eyes and looked majestic and majestic. When I got off the carriage, I was slightly surprised, and Mu Liusha had already walked in front of me .

Looking at her at this moment, the identity and situation are different from the past, but it is not my illusion, she can also feel that the alienation in our eyes is even better than before.

She smiled and asked me, "Will you come again?"

I looked into her eyes and said, "Mu Liusha, I am here today to make a covenant with you."

"What covenant?"

"For 60 years, I, and my army, will not go south to invade Suzaku."

Her face changed slightly.

Not only her, but the faces of everyone around changed, even the eyes of the ghost face trembled slightly, but he didn't speak immediately, but just looked at me silently.

After the momentary shock passed, Mu Liusha regained his composure, with needle-like prickles in his eyes, and said with a sneer, "After all, you still want to unify the Central Plains."

"As I wish."

"Then why 60 years?"

Why 60 years?I smiled lightly.

Feeling the uninterrupted throbbing pain in my body that seems to last forever, I clearly know that my body will not be able to bear it if this continues, even if I find Liang Chengxin, no one can recover after breaking the Heart Sutra. Longevity.

So he laughed and said, "60 years is my limit."

The limit of life.

He raised his eyes to look at her, and at the person in the carriage behind her who refused to show his face. These 60 years should be his limit.

Mu Liusha raised his eyebrows: "You mean, you won't invade Suzaku in your lifetime?"

I smiled and nodded.

"Yes, in my lifetime, I will never let a single soldier from the Qinglong Kingdom set foot in the southern border. You have always valued integrity and kept promises. I believe that there will never be a war between the two countries in the past 60 years."

Mu Liusha nodded: "Since you have made this covenant, of course I can do it."

"Since this is the case, I have something to say." I looked at the tens of thousands of people behind her, and said slowly, "Qinglong and Suzaku already have an alliance, so they can be regarded as allies. There is no need for defense barriers between countries, and I hope Emperor Suzaku can open Huhuakou as a treaty port."

"Hu Huakou?" Mu Liusha froze slightly when he heard my words.

"Only when this treaty port is opened, merchants from the two countries can communicate normally. I believe that you have always needed silk and iron from the Central Plains, and we also need spices and wood from the Suzaku Kingdom. This is a mutual benefit, why not? "

"..." Mu Liusha didn't speak, looking at her eyes, he seemed to be still hesitating.

I looked at her, with a pale smile on my face, my eyes shifted to the mountains in the distance, and I said lightly: "When the 60-year period comes, Emperor Suzaku can close the treaty port immediately, I believe you and I have already Since the past, today's covenant will naturally no longer have any effect. At that time, the general situation of the world may depend on my son and your daughter."

"..."

"For the sake of the people behind you, think carefully."

Mu Liusha looked back at those expectant gazes, and gritted his teeth: "Okay, I promise you!"

As we said that, we both stretched out our hands and clapped three palms in succession.

With the last palm, Mu Liusha held my hand and said, "I also hope that you will do what you say. In 60 years, the Qinglong Kingdom's army will not be able to enter Huhuakou."

I smiled: "I keep my word."

After finishing speaking, I turned around and stepped on the sampan, step by step onto the tall dragon boat.

.

Ever since that incident happened when I was young, I have always been afraid of water and boats, but after running around all these years, I have gradually gotten used to such bumps, especially this time, I have completely lost the fear I used to have. , and even began to enjoy the voyage.

He is still by my side, his eyes are silent and gentle, there is even a hint of doting.

A gust of wind blew past, bringing water mist onto his face, he took out a silk handkerchief and handed it to me, and said softly: "Let's rest in the cabin, the river is foggy, don't catch a cold."

"fine."

I held his handkerchief and smiled, but suddenly my smile froze.

Behind him, a figure who was so thin that he was about to be blown away by the river wind slowly walked over from the mist, his pale face was completely lifeless, only when he raised his eyes to look at me, there was a slight fluctuation .

He also realized something, and looked back: "Ling Si?"

After the Battle of the Temple, she and the rest of the surviving shadow guards were seriously injured. Mu Liusha also sent people to treat them. I haven't seen her these days, but I still vaguely think of this stubborn and cute girl. Woman, Ling Shiyi died, and died for her, the pain in her heart can be imagined, but not known.

When she walked in front of me, she finally knelt down and said, "My subordinates pay homage to the emperor."

"Ling Si, what are you doing here?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know if your Majesty still remembers." She looked up at me, her eyes full of longing: "The Emperor once promised to marry his subordinates and Eleven..."

I said lightly, "Of course I remember."

Tears glistened in Ling Si's eyes: "This subordinate asks the emperor for permission. This subordinate wants to marry Shiyi."

I frowned slightly, married?Could it be that she wants to marry Ling Shiyi?
He stood aside and saw this scene, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed. He looked back at me, but saw that I had an indifferent expression on my face, even with some coldness: "Ling Si, don't forget , I said that I want to give you marriages, but I need Ling Shixi to serve me in Suzaku Kingdom. Now that he died, he died for you. Does it have anything to do with my great cause?"

As soon as Ling Si heard this, he immediately opened his eyes and looked at me: "Your Majesty..."

"My rewards do not reward ministers who have no merit. Although you and Shiyi have the merits of escorting you this time, they are within your duties and are not enough to receive my reward."

Ling Si knelt in front of me, his whole body stiffened, as if he had become an ice sculpture in an instant.

I said coldly: "If you want to get this reward from me, let's talk about it after making great contributions to me."

After speaking, I waved my sleeves, turned around and walked in.

.

When I walked to the bow, the wind here was even fiercer, bringing with it bursts of thick fog, which wet my cheeks after a while. I silently looked ahead and said nothing. At this time, a hand reached out and took my hand. A silk handkerchief, wipe my cheeks for me.

His hands are very gentle, and the silk handkerchief is caressing his face, like a person's breathing.

I just looked at him like this, and suddenly a little happiness surged up in my heart, but at this moment, this happiness seemed a bit immoral, so extravagant, I was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Will you always be by my side?"

"..." He froze for a moment.

"can you?"

"..." He looked at me, and slowly stopped his hands, covering my cheeks through a layer of silk handkerchief. He could feel the warmth of his palms, and nodded slightly: "Yes."

I smiled, tilted my head, and rubbed my cheek against his palm.

At this moment, there was a loud hissing sound in the sky, and I trembled subconsciously, but he immediately raised his head, and his face suddenly changed.

A gray-brown eagle flew in the sky.

That is--

"This is the eagle that conveys the message from Yulongtang!" His hoarse voice trembled, and he seemed extremely nervous.Yulongtang did have carvings used to transmit messages, but they were only used in urgent situations, and now, they actually used this method to transmit messages.

Could it be - something serious happened?
As soon as he stretched out his hand, the huge eagle immediately flapped its wings and landed on his arm. He took off the bamboo tube tied to the eagle's claws, took out a roll of oil paper from inside, and took out the oil paper from the oil paper. Take a small piece of paper.

After just one glance, his face turned pale and he looked up at me.

My heart tightened: "What's wrong?"
