Golden branches and jade leaves

Chapter 112
Chapter 2: At the End of the Moon
"Tomorrow, the road to the capital will be covered with layers of snow." Su Mi turned her head and looked in the direction of the capital. From here, she could only see a dark sky, but the city walls of the capital were not the same. such a color?
I don't know if the Great Qi Jingshi, who has gone through a lot of blood and fire, still has the same grace and elegance as before?
"Winter is here, and the weather is much colder," Ni Tingxuan smiled, and said, "Stand like this, be careful of getting a cold."

Such considerate and ordinary words were perfectly natural during the time on the prairie of the Liao Kingdom, but as they were about to arrive in the capital, the relationship between the two became unfamiliar.

The closer they got to the capital, the farther the distance between the two seemed to become.

Ni Tingxuan felt an inexplicable anxiety, but he couldn't find a way to break the status quo, and the most painful thing for him was that he couldn't even find a reason to act.

"I'm not so weak and sick anymore." Su Mi said.The time in Liao Kingdom made her experience a lot. Although Ni Tingxuan has always taken good care of her, the hardships and tribulations on the battlefield are definitely not comparable to the comfortable and rich life in the palace, let alone the warmth and harmony in the mountains. Happy days imaginable.

For such a long time, I didn't feel how hard it was to survive.In retrospect, the hard work on the grasslands is like a dream, with ups and downs and mixed flavors.

Thinking of that full and busy time, the corners of Su Mi's mouth raised a faint smile unconsciously.

The moonlight reflected by the snow light was extremely cold, but this sudden smile made the eyes that were originally as cold as ice and snow more gentle and restrained, and even the moonlight became softer.

Ni Tingxuan looked at the woman in front of him and couldn't move his eyes. She seemed to be much thinner. He thought that life on the battlefield would not be suitable for her, but she survived stronger than anyone else.Thinking about it now, maybe the days confined in the palace had wronged her instead.

Su Mi was also looking at him. For more than a year, the two had been together almost day and night, facing each other from time to time, but maybe it was because they were too close and too familiar that Su Mi never paid attention to his face. .He has lost a lot of weight. Compared with the first time I saw him, the taciturn commander of the guards has disappeared. His face has the depth and vigor of a person who has experienced the test of war, as well as a commanding attitude. Mature and restrained.

It turned out that they had all changed. All of them were slowly changing in this war that swept across the entire world and destroyed countless cities.

How is he now?Suddenly thinking of those amber eyes, Su Mi's heart still felt a little turbulent.Has he achieved his wish?Such a result, is he satisfied?

Presumably he will not be satisfied, the ripest fruit has easily fallen into the hands of others, and he has planned for such a long time.In the end, Mr. Ge was superior.

Su Mi smiled lightly, in this world, people always plan and accomplish things.

What about him?Su Mi's eyes returned to her eyes.

A long time ago, after experiencing the test of this war, she and him once looked at each other through layers of snow and fog, but the background at that time was not the simplicity of the earthen walls of the post station, but the luxury of Bibochi Tianxiang Garden.

It was just a few short years ago, but recalling it now, it seems to be as far away as the previous life.

At that time, it was still in Daqi's court, within the long and almost endless palace walls.At that time, he still looked bright and unfamiliar, and she was cold and indifferent. How could he have thought that one day, they would stand opposite each other naturally like ordinary friends, talking about various matters in a peaceful manner .

On the vast prairie, it seems that the heart is also widening with the endless prairie under the feet, as if those hatreds are also distant, in the continuous flames of war, in the pursuit of life and death, in the light of the moonlight It is gradually hidden in a secret place, and people either unintentionally or deliberately do not pay attention to it.

However, when approaching the capital, all these things were re-examined, like weeds in spring, under the sunshine, the ice and snow on them melted quickly, revealing a strong vitality, which made people suddenly realize that, It has not disappeared, nor has it weakened. It is only temporarily covered by the wind blowing across the grassland and the moon shining on the battlefield.The closer it was to the capital, the closer it was to the place where everything was entangled, the more it invented, and it began to gnaw at her heart again.

Neither of them spoke, and the snowflakes kept dancing, circling, and falling around them.

"Tomorrow morning, are we going to enter the city?" Ni Tingxuan lowered his eyes and finally said.Then he looked up at Su Mi, as if waiting for some important decision.

Su Mi already understood his worry.

Looking out from the half-covered threshold of the station, one can vaguely see the long road outside, stretching endlessly under the moonlight...

The capital is ahead, and a vague idea arises in my heart, I hope this road will go on forever, although the weather is so cold along the way.

"How are things about me arranged?" She still asked, her sparkling eyes couldn't help but look at the person in front of her with a twinkle, she was a little curious, what would he choose.

"You were not mentioned in the city entry document that was passed up just now." Ni Tingxuan returned, his expression was a little vacillating, avoiding her gaze, and he finally asked softly, "Are you planning to return to the palace?"

The moment this question came out, he thought his heartbeat had stopped.

Over the past few days, the two accompanied by car drove from the distant Xijing, through the rolling mountains, through the majestic Juyu Pass, and finally arrived at the post station closest to the capital of Daqi.

There are countless opportunities along the way, let him ask, so that he can arrange the next move.But he didn't dare to ask, he didn't dare to listen to the answer that made him irreparable, and he didn't dare to face the moment of the final choice, because he knew better than ever that the power of choice was out of his hands.

He didn't ask, and she didn't tell.

The two walked the journey in an unusually silent manner in an unusually tacit understanding.

But no matter how long the road is, it will come to an end one day.

Tomorrow, just tomorrow, they will step into the capital of Daqi, the place where they first met, and also the place that gave them the deepest estrangement.

Su Mi looked up at the continuous snowflakes falling from the sky, the dark sky was like a bottomless abyss, all love and hate, all affection and hesitation, and all the light of this world were sucked into this invisible world. In the abyss.

The gap between them is more than the high and deep city walls, the long palace gates, unfamiliar names,...

What separated her from him was the hatred deeply imprinted in her bones, and the coldness buried deep in her blood.

How can the artistic conception of the love of children compare with the blood of close relatives who are connected by blood?

She knew everything about him, but he didn't know everything about her.

If he knew his secret, his deepest hatred, and everything he had done up to now.What would he think, would he still look at himself with such pure and sincere eyes?
Thinking of this question, Su Mi's heart skipped a beat instantly.

She has no choice.

"If I don't go back to the palace, where else can I go?" She finally shook her head and said in a calm tone, "Do I have any other choice now?"

Ni Tingxuan raised his head, something came to his lips, and he was about to say it, but was interrupted by Su Mi: "You don't have to worry," she lowered her head, "Of course I have my own way."

As a concubine, it was reasonable for her to escape from the palace when the Liao people entered the palace, but it was unbelievable to walk with the courtiers and generals without authorization, and even ran to the battlefield.Fortunately, both Mr. Ge and Chen Lie are already in the capital. Regarding this matter, they have already arranged everything for her, and she only needs to enter the city with peace of mind.

Then she turned her head away, no longer looked or listened, no matter whether it was disappointment or gloom left in his eyes, it had nothing to do with her.

Seeing her indifferent gesture of refusal, Ni Tingxuan finally lowered his head and said nothing.

In an instant, it seemed that there were only layers of snow left between the sky and the earth, shrouded in layers of mist...

After an unknown amount of time, she heard the sound of his leaving footsteps gradually fading away.

The end of the month is approaching, and the finale is approaching,
Just let a certain lamp think about it for a while,
Monthly ticket, monthly ticket, where are you, calling ing affectionately...
