Chapter 128: The Difficulty of Choice

After the battle at Xigu Pass, the peace of the past quickly returned to its previous life.

Although many people were still trembling, they were no longer trapped in their own houses and dared not come out. After all, the news of the great victory in Xiguguan has probably spread to half of Cangyan, and there is no war inside and outside Xiguguan.

Luo Chuan left Xigu Pass in such an atmosphere, and was still a team of 100 people mainly composed of blood cavalry, just like when he came.

Chen Jingzhi only brought Feng Jinkui and Zhao Qingxia to the front of the Changting and then parted. He just looked at the direction of the bloody color from afar and did not move his eyes away for a long time.

Luo Chuan did not look back, but just drove the horses and followed the team, thinking about something. He came to his senses until he arrived at the nearest post station to stop and rest, and handed the horses to Siqi to take them away. He walked with Qianxue to the official road outside the post station and did not speak first.

Qianxue turned her head and looked at Luo Chuan and asked, "Have you thought about it?"

Luo Chuan did not nod or shook his head, but it seemed that something irrelevant to it. "When I left Zhongjing City with you, I thought that no matter how complicated the world was, it was just a way to build a bridge across mountains and rivers. But now I realized that building a bridge is far from a matter of just talking, because you cannot predict the result, and some choices became the most difficult thing in the world."

Qianxue didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.

Luo Chuan looked at Qianxue with a self-deprecating smile, "I still remember when You were in Jincheng, I said I wanted to see his last dance. I originally thought it was just a normal one, just like I thought his life, but who could have expected that he had played such a big show, which involved everyone without knowing it. What I once thought was correct, what I once thought was planning, and even what I thought was extremely clever, was like a child dancing a sword in front of his big show, ridiculous."

"I can only accept it, but I don't want to accept it that way," his eyebrows were as entangled as his heart at this moment. "I am not afraid, Qianxue, I am not afraid, I just have some doubts. I don't know if that choice is because my heart really contains the people, or if I have walked step by step to this day, amid the kneeling and praise of countless people, the quietly growing ambition..."

Qianxue stepped forward and hugged Luo Chuan gently. When the latter looked back in surprise, Saran turned around and left him with a back, "I just need to know whether you made a choice in the end. Since you have made a choice, then do it well," she left sarcastically, without looking back. "After saying hello to those who have already entered Cangyan, I will go back to my hometown and tell her your conditions, and then come back to find you soon."

Luo Chuan nodded. Qian Xue's figure was gone. He just looked at the direction where she disappeared, and stood silent for a long time until a cold voice from a woman came from behind him.

"Is she the heir to Yun Yue?" The woman covered in a black cloak appeared behind Luo Chuan at some point.

Luo Chuan nodded.

"You believe her better than you," the woman's voice seemed to be mechanically unfeeling, "This is not right."

"Before this, I could easily believe many people, but from now on, it will be difficult for me to believe that anyone is," Luo Chuan turned around and looked at the only eye exposed under the mask of the woman behind him, "Just like at this moment, I put life and death in your hands, but I don't believe you."

Luo Chuan turned around and walked into the inn, but was stopped by the woman behind him.

"Luochuan," the woman thought for a long time before she said slowly, "You can trust me."

Luo Chuan did not turn around and continued to walk forward. Behind him, the woman said again, "He asked me to take good care of you."

This time, Luo Chuan did not stop for a long time and walked straight into the post station. He shouted and got on the horse. He continued on the road with the blood cavalry that had not been repaired for too long, no one questioned it.

It took only three days for Luochuan and his party to rush back to Cangyan City. At this time, the cavalry team that rushed from Xiguguan to report their victory had just left Cangyan City for only two days.

The joy of the victory of the border can be clearly felt from the changes in this city. Therefore, when the blood cavalry representing Luochuan returned to Cangyan City, all the people felt extremely at ease, and they knelt on the ground and bowed endlessly.

However, Luochuan did not return to the county garrison, but returned directly to the Luo Mansion compound.

Everything was as usual in the courtyard. It was just that outside the courtyard that greeted him was not Qian Gui, the housekeeper of Luo Mansion, but Yin Huayu, a girl standing there alone.

Luo Chuan turned over and got off the horse, handed the horse to Luo Changgong and then walked into the mansion.

Yin Huayu did not salute or greet him. He did not look at the mysterious man wearing a cloak behind Luo Chuan, and just followed Luo Chuan gently and said warmly, "I have asked the housekeeper to arrange meals in the banquet hall. The Xueqi side also ordered meals from the restaurant and will be delivered later," she leaned closer to Luo Chuan and whispered, "There are two guests who have been waiting in the mansion for a long time, from the military, covered armor, saying that they have an appointment with the young master. I am not sure of their identity, nor have anyone else contacted me. I am the only one who communicates with them throughout the whole process, arranged in a small courtyard in the guest room, and are still waiting."

Luo Chuan nodded, turned around and greeted two Taoist priests, Qin Wansong, Chang Wuxi, and the young female Taoist, then turned around and walked towards the guest room area. Yin Huayu naturally led the way half a step ahead, without asking a word along the way.

When he arrived at the courtyard, Luo Chuan asked Siqi and Yin Huayu to wait at the door together, and he only brought the old coachman Jiang Bo and the mysterious man in black cloak into it.

There was no one in the courtyard, and there were tea sets and tea cups on the stone table. The tea in the cup was still full, but it was already cold.

Luo Chuan walked straight to the outside of the hall in the middle and knocked on the door gently. Soon the door opened from the inside. The man who opened the door was a tall man, one head taller than Luo Chuan. The originally wide door was blocked by him and immediately looked narrow. He was wearing silver armor and a white cloak, with a silver mask covering his face, which looked like a glaring look, and looked very oppressive.

Luo Chuan looked straight into the silver-armored man's eyes and asked, "But Uncle Zhao has arrived?"

The silver-armored man looked at the two behind Luo Chuan, then made way open the door, lowered his head and saluted, "The last general Chen Shaoxiong, have you seen the young master."

"The general Chen Shaoxiong, who fought for his life, was indeed a mighty man," Luo Chuan slapped the arm of the silver-armored man and walked into the room first, and then saw the middle-aged man who had already stood up and removed his armor at the table.

I saw that his eyebrows were straight, his lips were thick and his beards were long. If it weren't for the scar that penetrated his forehead that destroyed the beauty of the whole face, he would have a bit more elegant temperament. The same silver armor and white cloak were wearing it, but it felt calm and as if it were abyss, which made the person who looked at him feel a little urgency. He smiled and looked at Luo Chuan, with the things in his eyes very soft.

But Luo Chuan was surprised when he saw his face, "It's you?!"
