Chapter 228 couldn’t have come at a better time!
"A bottle of Ruanjin Powder and a bottle of intoxicating medicine are enough for you to sleep for three days and three nights!"
After saying that, Qingyun looked at the fire not far away and thought After thinking for a while, I found a few semi-wet tree trunks and threw them in. The smoke became thicker and thicker.
"No, it's too slow."
Qingyun's eyes fell on the carriage, she led the horse to the edge of the woods, pulled out the hairpin and stabbed it hard Horse legs.
"I'm sorry, little guy."
"Hu——"
The horse was in pain and ran forward wildly, rushing into the woods and startling a flock of birds.
She looked in the direction where the horse disappeared and murmured softly.
“You should be able to find it this way, right?”
Sure enough, in less than a cup of tea, she heard the sound of horse hooves.
Looking towards the voice, she was stunned for a moment, then tears filled her eyes.
Really, really alive...
She ran forward.
"Major General Cheng!"
Cheng Shengxuan glanced at the unconscious people on the ground, then turned over and dismounted.
"Tie them back and leave them to grandma!"
He turned his head and looked at the woman in front of him.
"Who are you? Why do you do this?"
Qingyun explained.
"I, I am now the concubine of Emperor Shunhe, but I used to be a maid in the imperial concubine's palace and received many favors from her."
Cheng Shengxuan nodded after hearing this, his expression softening a lot.
"So that's it."
"Thank you for your help today, and thank you for the two letters."
Qingyun was about to continue saying something, Hearing the second half of the sentence, I was stunned for a moment.
"What letter?"
Cheng Shengxuan looked at her puzzled.
"I warned the Sun family to be careful about the Sixth Princess, and also sent someone to the Qianlongwei camp. Wasn't it from you?"
Qingyun was confused after hearing this.
“I have never sent a letter!”
"It's not you? Who is that?"
......
Under the moonlight, Cheng Shengxuan looked in the direction of the capital and stood at the edge of the camp for a long time.
An Luo came out to look for water and happened to see his slightly lonely figure.
“Isn’t the army going to attack the capital tomorrow? Why don’t you go and rest?”
"I won't go tomorrow. If I'm here, grandma and the others will be in trouble."
Seeing her, Cheng Shengxuan forced a smile, and then lowered his head a little lonely.
"I just suddenly felt a little confused."
"In order to eradicate the Cheng family, Emperor Shunhe did not hesitate to cooperate with the enemy and let hundreds of thousands of soldiers die tragically, but now he has become a prisoner .”
"Actually, no one in the Cheng family likes to fight, but in troubled times, wars can only be stopped with war. The Cheng family has always gone to the battlefield for Da Yin and the people, but this time, they took the initiative to provoke it War.”
His hands tightened.
"We don't want innocent people to suffer, but if we don't avenge this revenge, how can we live up to the spirits of the two uncles and the 140,000 Cheng family army's innocent souls in heaven?"
As he said this, he had a smile on his face. Tangled, with a look of pain on his face.
“Now I don’t know whether it is right or wrong to do this.”
An Luo didn’t know how to comfort him for a while.
In many things, there is no right or wrong, it is nothing more than cause and effect.
Emperor Shunhe brought it upon himself!
But the people are indeed innocent.
"An Luo, do you think power really has that much magic power? It can make people ignorant of right from wrong, cold-blooded and ruthless, and ultimately become a puppet of power."
Cheng Shengxuan sarcastically A smile.
"It's really not a good thing."
An Luo did not answer him immediately, but bent down and picked up a broken knife from the soil.
“Look at this knife. It may have fallen into the hands of bandits who robbed homes, and it may have been stained with the blood of innocent people. It may also have been in the hands of a chivalrous person, and it may have chopped off the blood of a treacherous person. Head."
She grabbed Cheng Shengxuan's hand, put the handle of the knife in his hand, and looked at him seriously.
“We cannot control its past, but as long as it is in your hands, you will decide where it will go in the future.”
Cheng Shengxuan looked at the broken knife in his hand and was silent for a while, then slowly tightened his grip.
"Is it up to me?"
"An Luo, thank you." After suddenly understanding, he did not continue to struggle, and gently took An Luo's hand, their palms touching. For a moment, he frowned slightly, then gently rubbed it, feeling it carefully.
An Luo's hands are white and smooth, so if there are any scars, they can be easily seen. After careful inspection, there are several needle holes on the fingers.
Thinking of what Qiu Luo said to him mysteriously a few days ago, Cheng Shengxuan's heart seemed to be soaked in warm honey water.
Very warm and sweet.
Does this prove that she cares about him?
That’s great.
My fingertips, which have been practicing martial arts for many years, are covered with thin calluses. When I gently scrape my hands, it will itch right into my heart.
Feeling his hot gaze, An Luo retracted his hand uncomfortably.
"Why are you looking at me like this?"
After the joy, Cheng Shengxuan held her hand with some distress.
"My hands have already been pricked so many times, don't do it again."
I discovered it?
An Luo scolded a certain guy who broke his word in his heart!
Have you agreed to keep her secret? !
Excessive!
An Luo doesn’t really care.
"I haven't had much contact with these before. Besides, isn't it normal for beginners to get injured? Who is the girl who is learning female red and hasn't been pricked by a needle?"
"How can it be the same?"
Cheng Shengxuan took a few steps forward, held her hand cherished, his eyes burning.
"How do other people's girls have anything to do with me? Here with me, you don't have to learn this."
With a satisfied smile at the corner of his mouth, he whispered, as if in her ear Whisper.
"I know you take me to heart, that's enough."
An Luo looked up.
"But I..."
The two looked at each other, drowning in these deep eyes, and she suddenly forgot what to say.
The two of them got closer and closer, enveloped by the cold breath. An Luo's face became redder and redder, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
"Major General!"
Hearing the sound, the two of them took a step back and distanced themselves.
An Luo stumbled when he spoke.
"I, I'm going back first."
After saying that, she turned around and ran back, covering her red face.
“Why is Miss An here?”
Looking at the person coming, Cheng Shengxuan rolled his eyes and rubbed his back molars.
“You came at the right time!”
“What did you say, Major General?”
Cheng Xin rubbed his ears.
“Nothing, what’s the matter?”
"Oh, the old lady is looking for you."
Hearing this, Cheng Shengxuan's expression became much more serious, and he handed the short knife to Cheng Xin.
"I'm going to find my grandma. Please put this away for me."
Looking at his back and then at the broken knife in his hand, Cheng Xin was stunned. Forced to scratch his head.
“What’s going on?”
"What's so good about collecting this broken knife?"
......
In the capital, outside the palace wall, Commander Xu led the imperial army to tightly surround the palace gate.
The four city gates are guarded by the Five City Soldiers and Horse Guards and the city defenders.
Outside the city, they have been surrounded by a large army.
"Everyone outside, listen up. If you dare to attack the city, we will kill the people!"
As soon as Xiao Tong, the commander-in-chief of the Military and Horse Division, finished speaking, more than a dozen people were tied to the city wall.
Those people begged and begged.
"No, sir, don't kill us!"
"Please, sir, let us go, we don't want to die!"
Xiao Tong laughed wildly.
"Don't want to die? Then beg them. As long as the Cheng family is willing to withdraw, you don't have to die."
Outside the city, seeing this scene, Cheng Sitao clenched his hands tightly. In the hilt of the sword.
“Grandma, they are going too far!”
“What should we do?”
