The sky has darkened and the curtain is getting desolate.
The howling wild wind blew up the sloping grass all around, and the dust mixed with the smell of blood inhaled into the nose, making people feel as if they were suffocating.
When Tianliang heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, he let go of the hand holding his head and raised his head...
She thought it was Feng Aotian who was anxiously looking for her because she had not returned to the team for a long time. Unexpectedly, she saw him happily sitting on the horse wearing a green shirt, without any hint of embarrassment.
When Tianliang was stunned, he had already fallen off his horse and stood directly in front of her.
Qi Xuan walked forward slowly, passing by the corpses spread on the grass and the blood flowing on the ground... He stood in front of her, spotless and covered with splendor, and lowered his head, "Congratulations, girl."
, great victory and triumph.”
"This is what you want." Tianliang was still sitting, looking up at him angrily, "This is what you, as the Dongjing royal family, want!"
He looked at her silently, without saying a word, stretched out his arm and grabbed her hand, with worry in his eyes, "My hand is injured."
Tianliang shook him off, "I don't want you to worry about it!"
After saying that, he stood up suddenly, regardless of the paralysis of his legs and feet, and walked to his horse, ready to jump on it.
Unfortunately, after sitting for too long, both of my feet were numb at the same time, and I couldn't exert any strength in the pain. My hand holding on to the saddle loosened, and I pulled the reins and fell.
The reins on the horse's nose were pulled. It felt the pain and was frightened. It turned away from the cold weather and ran towards the camp!
Tian Liang was lying on the ground, with traces of grass all over his face. He didn’t know where the helmet fell. He was half-kneeling on the ground with the heavy armor on his back. Thinking of the countless innocent people who died tragically in this war, he suddenly covered his face and his shoulders shook.
stand up.
Qi Xuan walked over, lowered his body and hugged her from behind, gently advising, "It's cold, one day you will understand."
"So what if you understand, can they be resurrected if you understand?" Tianliang turned his back to him and shook his head, "Even if you have something to hide, even if you have a reason why war is right or wrong, even if you can convince everyone, but you
I can never deny that because of the relationship between you and me, so many lives have died indirectly in our hands. Maybe I shouldn’t have helped you in the first place, and I shouldn’t have helped you at all..."
He felt that the more she spoke, the more her body was shaking, so he held her shoulders and turned her around, took the hand covering her face, wiped the tears from her eyes one by one, and apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Miss Li.
, I always want you to cry for me."
Tian Liang opened his slightly hazy eyes, grabbed his hand, and persuaded: "Shall we withdraw our troops? That's the end of it, okay?"
Before Qi Xuan could say anything, the woman's fragrance came up to him with a fragrant aura. He subconsciously opened his arms, and she was already lying in his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck and hugging her tightly.
He caught her and felt her lying on his shoulder, and felt that the clothes on his shoulders were wet.
"What kind of war, what about the Dongjing royal family, what about the power of the Four Mysteries... what does it have to do with you! What's wrong with being your idle gentleman, hiding your name, and still being Qixuan who can't be found by anyone? What's wrong with this?
Day..." Tianliang held his empty clothes with one hand and tightened the corners of his clothes, "You are too thin, you are too thin, Qixuan, you are too thin..."
She repeated these words, Qi Xuan listened for a moment, then held her waist, stood on her toes, and led her to land on the horse.
"I have a sense of discretion," he comforted in a low voice, "you can just relax from now on."
Qi Xuan rarely spoke out. When Tian Liang heard this, he didn't ask further questions. He just thought that he had agreed to what he said. After all, in the past, he always thought of her in everything, and it was easy for him to follow what she said and accommodate everything he did.
, it was also because she was so used to this embrace that she could never let go of her trust in him.
Tian Liang looked down and realized that in just a short while, he had torn off the fabric from his sleeves and bandaged the wound on her hand to stop the bleeding.
She didn't like getting hurt before, but after seeing this, she started getting hurt more frequently.
She has never felt irritable and depressed because she has been injured many times, because she knows that there is always someone who can remove all the scars for her with gentle means. From the past to the present, it has not changed.
Tianliang looked at his hands and felt warmth in his chest.
"Where is your home?" Tianliang asked, unconsciously leaning on his chest, "Dongjing Palace?"
"When I was three years old, I stayed in the Dongjing Palace. Later, due to a dispute among the concubines, my mother-in-law died suddenly. The father-in-law who served my mother-in-law followed my mother-in-law's last wishes and safely sent me, who was weak and sick as a child, out of the Dongjing Palace. Dongjing
The emperor missed the friendship between mother and concubine, but did not pursue any further investigation. He deposed me from the imperial status, so he changed my surname and buried it to this day." Qi Xuan narrated, his tone always very calm.
Tian Liang was puzzled, "Since you were deposed from the imperial status and had no nurturing grace, why did you take care of the affairs of the Dongjing royal family again? A few years ago, Dongjing fought against Nanzhao. It was you who made the plans.
Later, I owed favors, and until the current situation... I don't understand."
"I was seriously ill once and my life was in danger. The people who saved me were the people brought by the emperor." Qi Xuan said with a gentle look, "I owe my parents the debt of my body, skin and skin, and I must repay this kindness; a wrong decision resulted in the loss of the royal family.
One life is the same as this."
"The lives of the royal family are nothing more than birth, old age, sickness and death. Is it worth paying for these lives in just a few decades?" Tian Liang said in a slightly angry tone and shook his head, "Sir, I don't think you did the right thing this time.
"
"Maybe I'm wrong," Qi Xuan said lowly, looking at her with a firm look on her face, not denying it. "But Beiyu's gathering of troops this time is to attack first, and he must attack Xifeng first. If the two sides start a war, the general trend is, you
We must follow the emperor's order to fend off the enemy. Then, girl, who will we blame and who will be held responsible for the people of Xifeng and Beiyu who died?"
The weather was cold and I was speechless for a while.
She knew about Beiyu's gathering of troops, but she didn't know that he was going to attack Xifeng.
In fact, what Qixuan said is right. No matter whether it is attacking Xifeng or Dongjing, the war will always be too cruel and some people will lose their lives. And if he really led the Xifeng army to meet him as he said, the situation would be different from the current situation.
Comparing it will only make it worse, not better.
"What about the lives of a few people from Ketang?" Tian Liang sighed, "You were too decisive at that time."
"You let him go once, but he sneaked in again and was caught. Can you guarantee that after you let him go, he won't do it a third time?" Qi Xuan asked in return.
