Gao Zhen and Zhi Xin came to the inn lobby, and the waiter who was taking a nap hurried forward to ask.
Zhi Xin said: "Give us a pot of wine and two glasses. There is no need to greet the others."
"Okay."
Gao Zhen didn't drink often and looked at the wine in the glass with hesitation. Seeing that he didn't drink, Zhi Xin thought that Luo Qing Zhi wouldn't let him drink, so she quickly said: "If you don't want to drink, don't drink. Just watch me drink."
"
"No." Gao Zhen explained, "It's not that I don't want to drink. It's just that I remember my mother-in-law said before that my wine taste is not good and she asked me to drink less in the future."
Zhi Xin said jokingly: "As far as it goes, you can drink whatever you want."
Gao Zhen took a deep sip and felt a burning sensation.
On the other end, Zhi Xin said: "When I first arrived in Yuzhou, many people were dissatisfied with A Luo. They felt that she was young and was from a daughter's family, so they were not shy about her appearance."
Zhi Xin took a sip and continued: "At that time, the most sincere ones were the soldiers of the Luo family. One or two of them wanted to make Luo Qingzhi look good. Whether they were training or going on the battlefield, they were very brave.
.”
Zhixin paused for a while and sighed deeply, "Aluo took them with him during the battle in Pengcheng, but in the end, she was the only one who came back alive..."
"After Aluo woke up, he learned the news. He didn't feel any grief. Just like today, he dealt with it calmly and arranged it calmly..."
Zhi Xin turned to look at Gao Zhen, "At that time, I thought A Luo was cold-hearted and didn't care about this. Later, gradually, I realized that she not only gave her salary to their families, but also kept paying tribute to them.
.....Those lives are like mountains, which have been pressing down on her."
"But." Gao Zhen said, "As a soldier, this is what you should do."
"In this case, more than one person has told A Luo." Zhi Xin said.
She took a sip of wine and felt helpless, "Perhaps, this is what A Luo often said, kindness does not lead to war. For others, these things may have passed long ago, but for her, it is very, very difficult...
..."
Seeing that Gao Zhen's wine glass was empty, Zhi Xin filled it up again and asked, "Do you know now why A Luo is like this?"
Gao Zhen didn't answer, and Zhi Xin thought he didn't understand, so she explained, "A Luo can't bear it. You have to remember the sacrifices made by others for her."
Zhi Xin left, and Gao Zhen sat in the lobby, drinking the remaining drinks one cup at a time.
The wine jar is empty, but the heart is full.
There is only one name in Gao Zhen's heart, "Luo Qingzhi."
He walked tremblingly to the second floor and relied on instinct to reach Luo Qingzhi's room.
Gao Zhen knocked on the door fiercely. Luo Qingzhi was not asleep yet, so she stood up and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Gao Zhen pounced on her.
Luo Qingzhi held on to the door frame and barely caught him. A strong smell of alcohol instantly filled the room.
She wrapped her arms around him, raised her foot to close the door, then changed her position and helped Gao Zhen to the bed.
The drunk Gao Zhen was unconscious. He could not recognize the person in front of him, but he knew that she was a woman.
Luo Qingzhi's original intention was to loosen her coat for him so that he could sleep more comfortably.
Gao Zhen immediately pushed her away and said, "No, don't touch me."
Luo Qingzhi was a little helpless and had some unknown annoyance in her heart, but she could only coax him and said, "Okay, then I won't touch you and you can take it off yourself, okay?"
Gao Zhen glared, "You, you, this bad woman, I belong to A Luo alone, how, how can I take off my clothes in front of others."
Luo Qingzhi understood that Gao Zhen was too drunk to recognize the person, and the little emotion he felt just now dissipated in an instant.
She lowered her head, approached Gao Zhen, and said softly: "Look carefully, who am I?"
Gao Zhen grabbed his collar tightly and moved closer to Luo Qingzhi.
Luo Qingzhi watched Gao Zhen unconsciously approach, and the distance between the two gradually shortened. She instinctively wanted to step back, but Gao Zhen held her cheeks to prevent her from making subsequent actions.
"Got you."
After Gao Zhen finished speaking, he pressed his lips to hers. Luo Qingzhi took a step back and separated the connected lips.
Gao Zhen seemed unhappy. He grabbed her arm and pulled her toward him. The two of them fell on the bed with the woman on top and the man on top.
"Arlo, you are so naughty, why do you always want to run away?"
"I didn't want to run away." Luo Qingzhi said.
Gao Zhen shook his head, "No, you are running."
Luo Qingzhi avoided his eyes and said calmly: "You are drunk, you can sleep here, I will go to your room to sleep."
Gao Zhen stood up and opened the distance between the two. Luo Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Run away." Gao Zhen suddenly said this, and Luo Qingzhi was a little confused.
Gao Zhen continued, "No matter where you run, I will catch up with you." After he finished speaking, he grinned.
Luo Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, feeling that she shouldn't say something to the other party when he was drunk. She got out of bed, walked to the door, put her hands on the door latch, and heard the sound of fabric tearing from behind.
She turned her head uneasily and saw Gao Zhen tearing her coat off, "You, what are you doing?"
Gao Zhen tilted his head and said, "It's really hard to take off these clothes, so it's easier to tear them off."
Luo Qingzhi returned to the bedside and stopped him from further action, "I'll just take it off, don't tear it anymore. I'm in a hurry this time and I've almost used up my money, but I don't have any money to buy you clothes."
"No." Gao Zhen shook his head, "I don't want you to buy it for me. I have the money myself."
Luo Qingzhi didn't want to argue with a drunkard about having money or not, so she said, "Raise your hand and I'll help you take off your clothes."
Gao Zhen raised his hands obediently. Luo Qingzhi was concentrating on helping him take off his clothes. When he got into his clothes, she suddenly felt a little annoyed, "Why did you get involved?"
"No, have you taken it off?" Gao Zhen asked.
Luo Qingzhi swallowed her saliva and coughed slightly, "You can take off the rest yourself."
"good."
Gao Zhen agreed very readily, and began to unbutton his shirt, and then his underwear, revealing his white chest. Luo Qingzhi quickly stopped her, "Okay, okay."
Luo Qingzhi turned around and said, "Okay, you can sleep now."
Gao Zhen nodded obediently, "Okay."
He lay on the bed, Luo Qingzhi covered him with a quilt, Gao Zhen breathed steadily, and finally fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Luo Qingzhi wrote to Jinling, telling Fan Li that Gao Zhen was in Ningzhou and asking him to rest assured.
After she finished writing the letter, Feng Zinan happened to come in.
Luo Qingzhi was still thinking about how Feng Zinan knew that he was in Gao Zhen's room. When he looked at Gao Zhen who walked in slowly, he realized that Feng Zinan had probably already been to his room.
"You've come just in time to send this letter back to Jinling."
Feng Zinan took the letter with both hands and said, "Okay."
Gao Zhen looked sober, but he seemed hesitant to speak.
"You go first." Luo Qingzhi turned away from the south.
Gao Zhen walked to Luo Qingzhi and said apologetically: "I was drunk last night and robbed your room."
"I also occupied your room." Luo Qingzhi joked.
"Sister Zhixin told me about Pengcheng." Gao Zhen didn't want to avoid the topic and continued: "I do not like Qingshan, and of course, I don't like other men around you either."
Luo Qingzhi listened carefully.
Gao Zhen said: "But I will not regret that I saved you yesterday and abandoned Qingshan. Even if I had to do it again, I would still do it. For me, you are more important than anyone else."
Luo Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief, and said calmly: "Although I hope you have the world in your heart, I also understand the pain. I don't blame you."
"I also hope you don't blame yourself." Gao Zhen said.
Luo Qingzhi lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Gao Zhen continued: "When we were in Pengcheng, those soldiers were voluntary, and Qingshan...perhaps also hopes that you can be safe and sound."
"People are dead, how do you know they don't complain?" Luo Qingzhi said.
Gao Zhen took her hand and placed her palm on his heart.
Luo Qingzhi felt Gao Zhen's vigorous heartbeat.
"I am in the same state of mind as them, so I can be sure that they are doing it voluntarily."
Luo Qingzhi's nose felt sore and her eyes were moist, but she did not shed tears.
Gao Zhen saw her forbearance and said: "Aluo, you are worthy, you are worthy of them, and you are worthy of me. I will give everything, even..."
Luo Qingzhi covered his mouth, "Remember, in everything, living is the most important thing. I can't control them anymore, but you have to remember, I don't want you to protect me with your life, do you understand?"
Gao Zhen nodded and blinked, just like the drunk man last night.
Luo Qingzhi thought of what happened last night, relaxed her hands and blushed.
Gao Zhen touched her forehead, "Why is it so hot? Was it too cold last night?"
Luo Qingzhi glanced at her face and said, "No."
Gao Zhen held her cheeks with both hands. Just like last night, Luo Qingzhi's face turned red again.
"I'm going to find Sister Zhixin."
Luo Qingzhi held his hand and said, "No need."
Gao Zhen looked at the blush on Luo Qingzhi's face, and remembered the torn clothes on the ground when he woke up this morning, and felt a sense of doubt in his heart.
"What did I do when I was drunk last night?"
Luo Qingzhi said calmly: "It's nothing."
Gao Zhen naturally didn't believe it. He took her hand and asked, "Did I hold your hand?"
"No." Luo Qingzhi said, taking out her hand.
"Then, did I kiss you?" Gao Zhen continued to ask.
Luo Qingzhi got up, returned to the dressing table, and pretended to arrange her hair.
"I kissed you." Gao Zhen said firmly.
Luo Qingzhi looked at Gao Zhen in the mirror. She began to recall what happened to Qingshan Jun. At first, she felt guilty, but later on, she was actually a little lucky. Fortunately, Gao Zhen chose to take her away. Otherwise, how could Gao Zhen
Maybe he can beat those well-trained guards, or even himself...
Gao Zhen looked at Luo Qingzhi in a daze, and suddenly thought of teasing. He leaned down and gradually approached her cheek. When his warm lips kissed her still hot cheek, Luo Qingzhi came back to her senses.
"Is it a kiss on the face?" Gao Zhen asked.
Luo Qingzhi looked at Gao Zhen with hot eyes, neither denying nor admitting.
"It seems that it's not the face."
As Gao Zhen spoke, he closed his eyes and kissed her lips gently.
