The cold wind was blowing, but it couldn't stop a man and a woman chatting happily in the small building.
Middle-aged people seem to like to reminisce about their green years the most, especially those who have had a relationship. Prince Regent and Chen Fei are such people. They sat opposite each other with a cup of tea in front of each other and chatted about the past.
I don’t know how long we had been chatting, but the topic suddenly disappeared, and the small building was silent for a long time.
Finally the regent said: "Last night, I was very unhappy..." Chen Fei raised her face that was still full of charm after years of baptism, and said lightly: "I thought that after this silent atmosphere, you should come over and kiss me,
Then do those things you never did in your youth, but I guessed wrong.
It seems that you have changed a lot..." The regent said, "You have also changed a lot."
Chen Fei sighed: "You are wrong too, I have never changed."
After another brief silence, the regent said: "Yes, you haven't changed.
More than ten years ago, you left more decisively than I did, otherwise I would not have made up my mind to come back and be my prince.
If you think about it carefully, you have always been more decisive and stronger, and you have always put the honor of the country before your personal happiness. You were like this many years ago, and you are still like this now."
"You know everything?"
Chen Fei's voice trembled slightly, "Didn't you come here specifically to see me?"
"I would lie to you. I can only say that I really want to see you. I haven't seen you for more than ten years and I want to know if you have changed.
Of course, my more important task is to put aside the heavy affairs and rush here, to stop your plan."
"you made it."
Chen Fei said, "I didn't expect that you had already placed someone next to Lin Yuewei."
"You are wrong, Li Xuan was not the person I arranged, his appearance was an accident.
Of course, even without Li Xuan, you can't expect to confuse Lin Yuewei.
That girl is different from her grandpa, she is very smart!"
Prince Regent said.
Chen Fei was a little surprised: "Li Xuan is not yours?"
"He is an anomaly, outside of my plan.
Of course it is undeniable that his appearance saved me a lot of trouble."
The Prince Regent smiled.
"Forget it, let's not mention him."
When thinking of Li Xuan's half-smiling face, Chen Fei felt a little disgusted.
The plan she had worked so hard to devise was completely destroyed in the hands of an unknown young man before the regent took action to destroy it, causing her, the famous "Falcon Lady" of the Chu Kingdom, to lose face.
"Actually, I didn't expect you to be Saker... Thinking about it carefully, it's not that we haven't seen each other in the past ten years, we just interact in other ways."
The regent suddenly smiled.
"Six doors are very good..." Chen Fei nodded, "We haven't taken any advantage over the years."
"Why bother."
The regent shook his head and sighed, "Our two countries were once brothers. Why are you so aggressive? Is this war inevitable?"
Chen Fei's face became solemn: "We have never been brothers, but the relationship between master and slave.
In the past, Da Chu was weak and Yun Teng was strong, so we could only tolerate it.
Now that Dachu has become stronger, we must take back what we lost!"
"what you mean?
mineral?
money?
then what?"
The regent's voice also rose a few decibels.
"It is honor, it is dignity, it is a miracle that the inferior can overcome the superior!"
Chen Fei said coldly, "This time Da Chu will be the master!"
“Can’t we live together peacefully?”
The regent's eyes flashed.
"You have never been a slave, you don't understand!"
Chen Fei said forcefully.
There was silence again, and after a long time the regent said: "Actually, I should kill you. Without Mrs. Falcon, this war can be delayed for at least five years!"
"Killing me will only cause war to break out immediately."
Chen Fei said disdainfully.
"It can at least improve our country's chances of winning."
"You will lose."
"It seems that it is right for us to separate..." The Prince Regent did not want to discuss this topic anymore. His mind was filled with memories of the carefree youth, when the sky was blue, the grass was green, and men and women were in love.
But now, they are no longer a loving couple, but like bitter enemies! Where has the time gone?
Where has all the love gone?
The regent knew that the problem was not with them. Although one of them was the regent of Yunteng, with a high position, and the other was the spy chief of Da Chu, who was smart and wise, in fact they were just poor people trapped by fate and the great times.
One is an old man who is getting weak and terminally ill, but his family has countless treasures that are coveted; the other is a mature and strong man with exposed fangs, who has been bullied and now wants to take everything back.
This fight is inevitable.
They may have loved each other, or they may have been each other's only lovers.
But for the sake of the country, we have to stand on opposite sides.
The regent believed that if necessary, he could stab Chen Fei to death without mercy.
Similarly, Chen Fei will make the same choice without hesitation.
This is not a personal tragedy, this is a mockery of fate... He took a deep breath and said: "Let's go, don't come back again, you won't be so lucky next time..." Chen Fei stood up and took a deep breath.
He glanced at the Prince Regent and said, "Goodbye."
"Goodbye...when we meet again, will it be a battlefield?"
asked the regent.
"Either the battlefield, or the guillotine!"
Chen Fei said, turned around and walked out.
The back figure gradually disappeared into the distance, until it was out of sight, and the regent turned back.
At this time, there was another person in the corner of the room. He had a pale face and held a cold long sword in his arms.
"Do you want to take action?"
Bai Lian asked.
The regent shook his head: "Let her go... We are not ready for war yet."
"Let the tiger return to the mountain."
Bai Lian always spoke concisely, but he hit the nail on the head.
"There is nothing we can do about it, we need time! Five years...no, maybe only three years will be enough.
If we start a war now, we will definitely lose.
Three years from now, there may still be a chance of victory!"
The regent rubbed his temples a little tiredly.
He looked at the regent with a white face. He had been following this heroic prince since he was fifteen years old. No matter what difficulties he encountered before, he had never seen any hesitation or cowardice in the regent.
But this time, the regent was confused, hesitant, and even timid. Is this man who has never been defeated finally getting old?
"Is everything done?"
The regent quickly recovered and asked in a low voice.
"The person has been found and will return to the imperial capital with us."
Bai Lian said.
"Very good, make arrangements as soon as possible and let him go out early."
Prince Regent said.
Bai Lian hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Your Highness doesn't trust Li Xuan?"
The regent shook his head: "It's not a matter of trust or distrust. This mission is related to the survival of the empire. I don't allow any uncertain factors to arise.
Prepare a substitute just to be sure!"
Bai Lian said nothing more. He believed in all the regent's judgments just as he believed in the sword in his arms.
Just thinking about the special status of thick eyebrows, Bai Lian had a headache, but the regent would definitely be able to solve such a small matter, he thought.
