Chapter 221

People think that the small villages that have been abandoned are full of smoke. From a distance, it looks peaceful, as if the war that has burned all over Zhongzhou has never spread here.

Less than a mile to the south of the village, there was a gentle hillside. On the top of the hillside stood two people and a tombstone.

The writing on the tombstone is powerful, but it is full of sadness. Through the heavy brushstroke and painting, we can see how much pain the engraver has in his heart.

The tomb of his best friend Shen Junhong.

There were no corpses, no relatives who came to see them off, and no people who came to mourn with tears. Shen Junhong, who had been regarded by countless people as the light of hope in Nanming Kingdom, left in such a desolate way that he seemed to have taken away his three souls and seven spirits.

He had been standing on the top of the hillside and in front of the shabby tombstone for a whole day and night.

"I won't say more about people who die and can't come back to life. In the next two days, you've heard that your ears are growing cocoons. But I can't watch you just stand and wait for the wind here to blow you to stone. This is definitely not what Mr. Shen wants to see. "

Bu Qingyi has not fully recovered, his face is slightly pale, and he always feels cold. But when she went to pull the same drunk hand, she could obviously feel that his hand was colder.

With a sigh, bu Qingyi took off his thin cloak and put it on Shitong Zui's back. He turned and walked down the hill.

"Step girl."

But at this time, I heard him speak dumb.

"I will never allow Junhong to die so meaninglessly. He should have been king of the world, opened the prosperous age of Nanming, and became the king of the Ming Dynasty. And I should be the one who sent him to the top of glory, and then happily retired to the joy of mountains and rivers. Now Everything has changed. It has become unacceptable to me. "

Bu Qingyi stopped, turned around and looked up at the figure against the light on the top of the hillside.

"Then, will the boss continue to fulfill his will?"

"That's for sure! All his dreams and expectations come from the grand plan he described for him. Even if he is gone, his dream should not be over. I can I can realize his dream for Junhong and let him know under the spring without any regret. However, please give me some time, I always can't be as strong as step girl. At least now I can only stand here... "

When drunk with words did not finish, step green clothes do not need him to finish, that pair of trembling shoulders have exposed his weakness at the moment. However, this weakness does not give way to Qingyi's contempt for him. Instead, she feels strangely that Shi tongzui has lost the most important friend in her life, and what she has lost is the most important partner who can help Lu Jingyi.

Heart injury needs time to treat, and no one can force a person whose life has been forcibly poached to do something. When Bu Qingyi stayed, he was drunk on the hillside and continued to mourn for his best friend who had no chance to drink and have fun again. He returned to the quiet village alone.

In this battle, their already weak team suffered heavy losses, especially the Nanming people who followed Shen Junhong. Now that they are leaderless, they have lost their souls and almost no longer have the ability to fight. So far, Lu Jingyi is in a stable state, but he has no idea what to do with his future.

In short, they lost their way.

After the fierce battle, the fatigue has not yet dissipated. Bu Qingyi dragged a heavy step back to his residence, and then stepped into the yard. When he saw the figure in the yard, he was suddenly stunned.

"I didn't expect to meet again so soon. The princess will not have forgotten me?"

The smiling man in the courtyard was the prince.

Bu Qingyi responded with a wry smile: "the prince is too tolerant. Recently, there are too many things. I'm so busy that I'm blinded for a moment."

"I've heard all about what happened in Nanming Kingdom, so I came here specially." The prince put away his smile and looked back at Lu Jingyi, "to be honest, I come here not only to express my thanks to the princess, but also to discuss the cooperation with King Jin and the princess."

"Cooperation? What does the prince mean by cooperation? " Bu Qingyi's ears moved, and he suddenly perked up.

Lu Jingyi and the prince looked at each other, then said to bu Qingyi with a smile, "let me explain. After returning to the state of Yan, the crown prince explained to the emperor what happened in Xiping and the current situation. After careful consideration, the emperor decided to give up the alliance with the hordu empire. The crown prince even won 50000 people for us, even if it was borrowed to help us attack Xiping. "

Bu Qingyi took a cool breath and opened his eyes wide: "fifty thousand? Are you sure you're right? "

The prince chuckled and nodded: "yes, that's 50000. Father Huang is not a dull man. After stating the pros and cons, he supported my proposal. These 50000 men are the excellent generals selected by him. It's a pity that the yuan master and Pei duo have left the state of Yan. If they were detained earlier, you would not have suffered so much. "

Bu Qingyi was stunned: "do you mean People who set traps in the capital of Nanming state... "

"That's right. It was at the instigation of Yuan Guoshi that Nanming emperor set a trap in the capital city with Princess Wen Xin as bait." There was a trace of regret on the prince's face. "It was for this reason that Yuan Guoshi and Pei duo were eager to leave the state of Yan. It's a pity that their father failed to stop them. Otherwise, Shen Gongzi would not I often hear Shi Shaofu mention him. I've always wanted to find a chance to meet Mr. Shen. I didn't expect that yin and Yang would be separated forever before my wish was fulfilled. It's the biggest regret in my life. "Every time I heard Shen Junhong's name these days, I felt a sense of sadness. Bu Qingyi couldn't help waving his hand to the prince to stop talking.

The three were relatively silent for a short time, but Lu Jingyi was the first to break the silence: "these 50000 people will come soon, and they can't talk more than two or three days. Qingyi, I think After the support of the prince, you and Mr. Mo should stay here for rest, or go back to Changliang town. This crisis can only be solved by you, but I know that there are many casualties in luanshuege. I really don't want you to pay any more for me. "

"How many more times do you want me to repeat? I didn't do it for you. " After standing for a long time, Qingyi was a little dizzy. Leaning on the stone table, she said, "brother Chuan has brought all the children of Luan Xue Pavilion here. Although they are poor in number, they are all good players who can fight one against ten. It's very suitable to be a vanguard. I've discussed with brother Chuan and Mogui. I'll give all my people to your command. Plus the 50000 troops borrowed by the state of Yan, it's almost enough to resist the imperial army. "

There will be casualties in the war. Even when the nimble Bu Qingyi and Mo GUI are exhausted in the face of a large number of enemies, what's more, the children of luanxuege who are not as good as them? Lu Jingyi really doesn't want to have people who have nothing to do with sacrifice, but looking at Bu Qingyi's firm eyes, he knows that this is a non-negotiable choice.

"I see. Let's do it." Lu Jingyi took a deep breath and nodded. After thinking about it, he hesitated a little, "then What should Shi Shaofu do? There are about sixty or seventy people left in Nanming kingdom. Do you want them to stay here or come with us? "

"The boss and Mr. Shen are very affectionate. I'm afraid he can't get out of the pain of losing his friends for a while. Let those friends of Nanming stay here with him. If everything goes well on our side, we'll come back and help him then. "

"Let's make it up for the time being. It's said that the princess is still recuperating from injuries, so I won't disturb her any more. I'll just take advantage of this time to have a look at Shaofu. " The prince humbly saluted Bu Qingyi and left with Lu Jingyi.

Bu Qingyi sighed, and the dullness of his chest was slightly relieved. She drew back her tired face, tried to look relaxed and natural, and walked into the house.

There was a strong smell of medicine floating in the bedroom. The people on the bed were lying quietly, closed their eyes and seemed to be still asleep.

Bu Qingyi didn't wake up when she saw that Mo had returned. She moved a stool and sat down beside the bed. She gently grasped his slender palm and put the center of her eyebrows on the back of his hand.

"All sorts of messy things are almost arranged. The crown prince convinced the emperor of Yan to lend us 50000 elite soldiers, so in a few days we will set out to return to Xiping for a new war. This time, I don't know when it will be the end. I still can't say when I will fulfill my promises to you... "

Bu Qingyi's mind is always repeatedly emerged that night, Mo GUI resolutely forward. She had already understood his heart and his sincerity of hoping to give his life for her, but when that moment came, when he really decided to give his life to protect her, there was another sadness in his heart.

Reluctant to part with him, reluctant to rush to danger without hesitation. I used to think that I could give up everything for the sake of righteousness, but now I realize how hard it is to think that I will lose him.

"If you really want to fulfill your promise, isn't it OK at any time?"

All of a sudden, the most sincere suggestion sounded in my ears.

Bu Qingyi's sad expression solidified on her face for a moment. She slowly raised her head and looked at her face which was full of vitality and had no color change at all. The bitterness in her heart turned into gnashing her teeth.

With a bang, she punched Mo GUI on his knee and said, "pretend to sleep, right? Do you want me to help you to sleep forever? "

"It depends on how you want to help."

Mo guihao is sitting at the head of the bed in his spare time. Taking advantage of Bu Qingyi's anger, he suddenly reaches for her wrist and pulls Bu Qingyi to his arms.

Bu Qingyi was unprepared. When he recovered, his cheek had been tightly pressed against his chest and hugged him in an extremely indecent posture.

"Did you say that? You want to keep your promise to me. If I remember correctly, you said the same thing that night. "

Before Bu Qingyi opened her mouth to scold, Mo guiwenre's fingertips gently touched her lips, a pair of warm and deep eyes had always forgotten her heart.

He opened his mouth gently, with a kind of bewitching in his cold voice.

"It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day, just today How about it? "
