"Brother..." Xiao Yu called out.

""Lingshu, Jingmai" says: Human beings are born first, then they become essence, then when they become essence, the brain is born. It all comes from the essence." Shen Zhongqing looked at Xiao Yu, "Ayou's disease has penetrated into the bone marrow, and there is no other way but to wash the scriptures and cut the marrow..." There is always some basis for Yuantong's words, this is the only way Zhen Shiniang can live. Even if he was deceived by the chance to come down, he would be happy, "If I give up, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"

Xiao Yu remembered what Zhen Shiniang said last year when he persuaded him to agree to study mind-changing techniques.

"The reason why my body is like this is because poisonous evils lie deep in the bone marrow, secretly consuming essence and blood, causing the body to lose essence and blood, and the body loses its fullness, so the blood metaplasia is insufficient, and it is getting weaker and weaker..."

"Bone marrow can produce blood. If the research is really successful, I can replace the bone marrow. Maybe it will be better."

……

Zhen Shiniang's words echoed in Xiao Yu's ears over and over again, and his brows became pimples.

Changing the bone marrow... Washing the scriptures and cutting the marrow... Could this really cure her?

However, he looked at Shen Zhongqing helplessly, "...For so many years, Long Live has worked hard to govern the country, cut taxes and taxes, opened the horse market, repaired the state affairs internally, and formed neighbors abroad. No one else knows, but Long Live's thoughts should be the most clear brother!" He said word by word, "Long live will never agree!"

Yes, the unification of the Three Kingdoms is Wansui's dream for many years, and it is also his dream for many years. If he gives up, he will feel a dull pain in his heart.Hooray, never give up!

Shen Zhongqing's expression darkened.

He then shook his head resolutely, "...I can't care that much anymore!" There was a sense of sadness in the bitter voice.

Looking at his white hair.Xiao Yu flashed before his eyes the scene of them interlocking their fingers and smiling at each other at the anniversary celebration of the Rejuvenation Academy... He slowly moved aside.

Nodding to him, Shen Zhongqing stepped into the palace.

……

"The fifth princess is here..."

"Concubine Shen is here..."

"The fourth princess is here..."

……

Following the loud shouts of the gatekeeper, the General's Mansion was bustling with excitement.

After freshening up, Zhen Shiniang, who was wearing a bean-colored right lapel jacket and a silver fox fur coat, was supported by the magpie Qiuju to the main hall and sat down. The mother sighed faintly.

These people are here to persuade her to give up, right?

I don't know if he can make Long Yan furious?

Thinking of Wanzai, he would stare at him aggressively like these people.Stimulating him deeply, Zhen Shiniang felt a faint pain in her heart.

"...how can you be so selfish?" The fifth princess looked at the indifferent Zhen Shiniang with red eyes. Shiniang, "You know this is Yan Qi's plan to divorce, but you are still selfish just to survive. Let him swear to give up military power for you, and let him have nothing after you die!" The more she said, the more angry she became, and the fifth princess burst into tears Flowed out, "How can you be so cruel, you are a selfish, ruthless and ruthless woman!"

He had known for a long time that his father wanted him to marry Shen Zhongqing, and he had seen his infatuation with Zhen Shiniang with his own eyes.She couldn't hold anyone else in her heart.

Especially at the Anniversary Ceremony of the Rejuvenation Academy, looking from a distance at Shen Zhongqing, who is full of white hair and has been honed by the vicissitudes of life, is more stern and resolute.Her heart was broken, and she swore secretly that after Zhen Shiniang died, she would use the most gentle heart to heal all his wounds... Now, Zhen Shiniang actually forced Shen Zhongqing to do it for her because of a non-existent life-saving heart sutra. Surrender your military power and swear that you will never speak of military affairs!

Doesn't she know.Hand over the military power, and Shen Zhongqing will have nothing!

more important.Once Shen Zhongqing violated the holy will and lost the favor, how could her father be willing to marry herself to him!

"...Do you know how obsessed the general is with his army and how much effort he has devoted to it?" With red eyes, Concubine Shen also looked aggressively at Zhen Shiniang, "You are too selfish!"

If Shen Zhongqing handed over the soldier talisman, what would she rely on in the future, "The general's greatest wish since he was a child was to be able to lead troops to fight and be a majestic general..."

The voice was mournful, and when Concubine Shen talked about the emotional part, it made people cry.

Immediately there was a buzzing sound in the lobby, and the voices of accusations and abuse followed one after another.

Zhen Shiniang never realized that these concubines and princesses looked gorgeously dressed, noble and elegant, but behind the absence of Long Live, they could be so vulgar and rude.

Qiu Ju's eyes were bloodshot.

"...Don't move." Seeing that she couldn't stop, Zhen Shiniang called out softly, "They just wanted to provoke me into deceiving the emperor, and I was justifiably killed by Wansui."

Only if she died immediately, would Shen Zhongqing not be determined to fall into Yan Qi's scheme of alienation?Zhen Shiniang looked indifferently at the people who were filled with righteous indignation and wished they could not eat her, her peaceful gaze was like that of an outsider, standing outside the world of mortals, watching the turmoil of the world.

Zhen Shiniang who faced her was peaceful and quiet, and everyone exploded with anger, and their voices of accusation became louder and louder.

"...Princess Changning is here!" Just as the commotion was raging, there was another shout from outside.

The hustle and bustle suddenly fell silent.

A sneer flashed across everyone's eyes.

Princess Changning is not one of them. If they angered her, she would beat someone with her hands. How can she be so calm in the face of this surly princess? !

Facing everyone's sneers, Qiu Ju instinctively stood in front of Zhen Shiniang, clenched her fists and watched the haughty Princess Changning walk in step by step surrounded by everyone.

Unexpectedly, Princess Changning was not filled with righteous indignation as everyone imagined, she stood still in the center of the main hall, her gaze slowly passed over everyone.

"Aunt Huang..." Seeing her, the fifth princess burst into tears.

"Mrs. Shen is not in good health and needs to be quiet." She had just yelled, but before she had time to complain, Princess Changning yelled loudly, "Get out, get out!"

Everyone was stunned.

Knowing that this surly princess is deeply loved by Long Live and the Queen Mother, seeing Princess Changning looking over with a serious look.Concubine Shen gritted her teeth, and took the lead in helping the palace maid back out.

"Ayou..." The room was clean, and Princess Changning turned to look at her, "Don't care what these people say, I support you." After six years of separation from her son-in-law, the only reason she understood was that the supreme Power and boundless wealth cannot be exchanged for a lover's staying together.

At the school's anniversary celebration, the figure in white clothes and white hair supporting each other broke her heart.

Zhen Shiniang looked at her.Laughed.

Long live but flew into a rage.

"I don't agree!" He threw the Hetian jade paper on the dragon case to pieces, "This is Yan Qi's divorce plan!" He got up and took out a few secret letters from the dragon case and threw them to Shen Zhongqing.

On the tenth day of December in the eighth year of Emperor An's reign, Long Live Qi State paid homage to Daci Temple in person, and secretly met Master Yuantong who had returned from his wanderings.After being warmly received by the Emperor of the Yan Kingdom, on March [-], Master Yuantong left the Kingdom of Yan and went to the Great Zhou...

Looking at several secret letters recording Master Yuantong's whereabouts, Shen Zhongqing was in a daze.

"Master Yuantong was instructed by Wansui Yanqi to drive us apart!" Wansui looked at Shen Zhongqing heartbroken.I really wish I could knock open his head to see if the inside has become mushy. "Such a simple divorce plan, how come you don't even have a long head, and people believe it as soon as they say it?" You really want to resign as a general.

"I know." Shen Zhongqing kowtowed.

"Knowing that you still believe him!" Wansui yelled.

"...This is the only way to save Ayou!"

"Maybe he doesn't have any heart sutras for washing the marrow at all, but just tricked you into making an oath!" Wan Sui looked at Shen Zhongqing earnestly.

"Master Yuantong is highly respected."

"Maybe his Heart Sutra can't save Mrs. Shen at all!" Wan Sui's voice, which he suppressed with great difficulty, rose another octave.

Shen Zhongqing's expression darkened, and he said without hesitation, "If you don't try it, no one will know."

give it a try?

Wanzai laughed angrily.

He bent down and looked at Shen Zhongqing.

"...Do you know the consequences of trying?"

Shen Zhongqing tightly shut his mouth.

"Without my grace, you are nothing!" Wansui stood up suddenly, "You will lose all your glory, wealth, and power. From now on, you will no longer be a great general who responds to everyone, and..." He talked Turning around, "Even so, the Heart Sutra you got may not be able to save Mrs. Shen, she will die, and you will have nothing after she dies, not even a stray dog ​​on the street!" He looked straight at Shen Zhong Qing said word by word, "So, are you willing to try?"

"I have no regrets!" Shen Zhongqing kowtowed.

Long live was stunned, he looked at Shen Zhongqing as if he didn't know him.

Suddenly, Wanzai overturned the memorial on the dragon case to the ground.

"I won't allow it!"

"Long live it!" Shen Zhongqing kowtowed, "Without her, I would be a walking corpse, and I would no longer be your great general."

"Get out!" Wanzai shouted violently.

"Long live if you don't agree, I won't get up!" Shen Zhongqing said stubbornly.

The sun gradually turned into a big and round ball of fire, dyeing the western half of the sky red.

Shen Zhongqing still knelt motionless at the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"General, general..." Rong Sheng ran over sweating profusely, "...long live the Imperial Forest Army and surrounded the general's mansion!"

Shen Zhong stood up vigorously.

"...General, stay here!" Seeing Shen Zhongqing rushing in with a fierce spirit, the Imperial Forest Army who was ordered to guard the gate of Haoran Residence surrounded him with a whoosh.

Shen Zhongqing frowned, and an invisible evil spirit spread instantly.

"Don't be impatient, general..." Seeing that Shen Zhongqing was about to force his way in, Gu Yanpu who heard the news hurriedly stopped him, "Long live is just talking to Madam, please wait patiently, Madam...it will be fine..." He silently shook his head towards Shen Zhongqing.

The reputation of the monarch and his ministers is too high. Today's Shen Zhongqing is not the time when he was favored back then. The relationship between him and Wansui is on the verge of breaking up. One mistake will bring a catastrophe to the General's Mansion.

Remembering that Zhen Shiniang was still in Long Live's hands, Shen Zhongqing slammed his fist hard on the wooden stake at the door.

Gu Yanpu nodded in relief when he saw it.

After such a long period of tempering, his edges and corners were finally smoothed by Zhen Shiniang, and he knew how to suppress his anger.

Haoran lived in the main hall, and Wan Sui was looking at Zhen Shiniang with a complicated expression.

"...do you know?" Wan Sui's voice was low, unable to detect any emotion, "I wanted to kill you the first time I saw you two years ago."

It was the first time I saw her overwhelmed look.He was worried that there would be a day when Shen Zhongqing would be completely bewitched by her.

In the end, Shen Zhongqing was still confused by her!

Although he didn't instigate him to go out of Dazhou and avenge her family's blood revenge as he imagined, but it was confusing that Shen Zhongqing was dismissed and returned to the farm at a young age, and planned to spend the rest of his life in the mountains and forests.

Thousands of troops are easy to get.One will be hard to find.

Without Shen Zhongqing, who would complete his great cause of unifying the Three Kingdoms?

Facing Zhen Shiniang, who was clearly already bone-shattered, but still calm and indifferent like a stream of clear springs in a mountain stream, Long Live had mixed feelings in his heart, he turned his head slowly, and looked out the window where the red glow was slowly falling like a huge fireball. the sun.

"My wife knows..." She sat on the chair dignifiedly.Zhen Shiniang looked peacefully at the bright yellow figure in front of the window.

Wan Sui's body trembled suddenly, he turned his head suddenly, and looked at Zhen Shiniang fixedly...

Suddenly a roaring and uneasy lion, Shen Zhongqing paced back and forth at the door of Haoran Residence.

The eyes of the fully alert imperial guards followed his footsteps, as if they were approaching a formidable enemy.

I'm afraid that this evil star can't bear it anymore and will explode.

Squeak.The door of Haoranju's main house was pushed open from the inside, and Wanzai walked out with a happy face.

Shen Zhongqing rushed over with one stride.

The Imperial Forest Army stood between him and Long Live with a whoosh.Aggressively confronting Shen Zhongqing.

The tension was on the verge of breaking out.

"Back off!" Wanzai's voice was cold.

The Royal Forest Army retreated to both sides.

Coming to Shen Zhongqing step by step, Wan Sui looked at him with burning eyes.

Staring at the blood-red eyes, Shen Zhongqing also looked at Long live without blinking.

The air was dull and heavy.

The heartstrings of the Imperial Forest Army were so tense that even a slight sound could break them.

"I'll give you one last chance." Wan Sui spoke first, "It's too late for you to regret it now!"

Looking at the situation, Zhen Shiniang should be fine?

Shen Zhongqing secretly let out a breath.

He fell to his knees with a thump, "The minister's will has been decided!" He said again. "If Long live wants to persuade Ah You to give up, I will apologize with death!" Ruo Zhen Shiniang was persuaded by him to wish for death.There is nothing he can do about it after he has obtained the Heart Sutra.

Long live's face turned black for a while.

He turned around sharply and strode away.

Hulala, the Imperial Forest Army who surrounded the gate of Haoran Residence followed quickly.

Turning around slowly, Shen Zhongqing quietly watched Wan Sui's back disappear.

Suddenly, he turned around and rushed into the main hall like the wind.

"Ayou!" Shen Zhongqing pushed the door open with a bang, and there was inexplicable panic in his anxious voice.

Looking around, Shen Zhongqing let out a breath when he landed on the slender figure standing silently in front of the window.

Zhen Shiniang was looking sadly at the bloody setting sun outside the window, her peaceful expression was tinged with condensed heaviness.

Shen Zhongqing's heart just let go and jumped.

"Ayou..." He turned his back to Zhen Shiniang and said, "...you think the military camp is my life, but you don't know that if I don't have you for the rest of my life, I will never be able to lead soldiers again!" Indescribably desolate.

Zhen Shiniang turned around slowly and walked towards the bedroom.

Shen Zhongqing stared blankly at her slowly passing by him without even looking at him...Could it be that she...the happy face of Wan Sui flashed in front of her eyes, and Shen Zhongqing felt inexplicable panic in her heart.

"Ayou..." Shen Zhongqing suddenly turned around.

There was a deep sense of despair in the voice.

"Ayou, I..." He chased after Zhen Shiniang.

Zhen Shiniang turned her head suddenly, "...would it be hard to learn the Heart Sutra of Washing the Marrow?"

Shen Zhongqing was stunned.

"Is it the same as you used to practice internal strength?" Zhen Shiniang asked again, "Can I be lazy?"

Shen Zhongqing laughed out loud.

"Almost?" He didn't know what the marrow washing heart sutra looked like, but Shen Zhongqing changed the subject, "Don't try to be lazy, I will watch you practice 24 hours a day."

Unable to restrain the ecstasy in his heart, Shen Zhongqing laughed out loud.

Zhen Shiniang laughed too.

Bewitched by the eminent monk of the Qi State, the obsessed and unrepentant Shen Zhongqing insisted on resigning from the position of the General, which provoked Wan Sui into a rage and refused to agree to Shen Zhongqing's resignation. That afternoon, Wan Sui led troops to seal the General's Mansion, intending to force Zhen Shiniang to commit suicide, but after a long talk with Zhen Shiniang, Wan Sui readily changed his mind, and happily led people away from the General's Mansion.

As for why Wan Sui suddenly changed his mind in the end and let Shen Zhongqing and his wife go.Nobody knows.

Legend has it that Zhen Shiniang used the grace of saving the prince's life to threaten Wansui to let them go. There are also legends that Zhen Shiniang gave many priceless secret recipes, and finally asked Wansui for a favor. Promising Shen Zhongqing to disarm and return to the fields, there are different opinions among the people.

The only thing everyone knows is to save Zhen Shiniang.In the end, Shen Zhongqing fell into Yan Qi's scheme to divorce him. He used the military talisman seal in his hand and the wealth and glory of the rest of his life to exchange Zhen Shiniang with a set of Heart Sutra for Cleansing the Marrow. In the end, he was demoted to a commoner overnight by Long Live.

And Shen Zhongqing quietly left Shangjing City with Zhen Shiniang's family.

No one knows where they went, and no one knows whether the marrow washing heart sutra is useful to Zhen Shiniang...

And the story of the day when the ribbons were flying, the young general in white clothes and white hair reflected the colorful brilliance of the sun with his delicate wife step by step up the viewing platform with only seven steps and bowed to everyone.But it has become an immortal legend among the people of Shangjing.

………Twilight…………

The sky is twilight, and the vast white mist pervades the sky. A soothing and winding bluestone step suddenly rises into the sky. A spirit snake winds up to the Guanri Peak of Lingtai Mountain. At the foot of the mountain, a pair of slow-moving turtles crawl. The couple is climbing up level by level.

The closer you get, the clearer the person becomes.The man was dressed in white and had white hair. His handsome face was sharp and vicissitudes.The woman was thin and slender, wearing a snow-white silver fox skin in the August weather. It was Shen Zhongqing and Zhen Shiniang who disappeared in Shangjing.

They clasped their fingers and talked in low voices as they walked.

"...What exactly did you agree to Wanzai?" Shen Zhongqing asked.

Shen Zhongqing has always been curious about what Zhen Shiniang promised Wansui, which would make Wansui change his attitude overnight?

"Of course it's a condition for losing power and humiliating the country." A look of sadness flashed across Zhen Shiniang's expression.

Lose power and humiliate the country?

Thinking of the day when he rushed into Haoranju, he saw the sad look on Zhen Shiniang's face.Shen Zhongqing felt nervous for a while. "What are the conditions?" He stopped abruptly.

"I'll give you three chances." Zhen Shiniang leaned on his shoulder and gasped, "Guess?"

"...Using the favor of saving the prince's life to force him?" This is the folklore.

Zhen Shiniang shook her head. "...The crown prince is my adopted son, and it is my duty to save him."

"Donate many priceless secret recipes?" This is also a folk legend.

Zhen Shiniang shook her head, "No amount of secret recipes can help him accomplish the great cause of unification."

Shen Zhongqing was shocked, "...you sold all my secret books on military formations!" Long live will be able to unify the Three Kingdoms by taking these.

"Where did you put those cheat books?" Zhen Shiniang blinked.

She often went to his study, as if she had never seen these.

Shen Zhongqing's face turned red.

He hid all these in the secret room, and she had never seen them before, so how could they sell them?

However, this time it was Yan Qi who plotted against him, using Master Yuantong to force him to hand over his military power and give up his ambition to unify the Three Kingdoms. Judging from Wan Sui's expression, it was clear that they plotted against Yan.

Thinking of the wicked smile on Long Live's face on the day when he handed over the soldier talisman seal, Shen Zhongqing's heart was always uneasy.

Zhen Shiniang, what did you sell to Long Live?

Changing internal affairs, opening up the horse market, enriching the country and strengthening the army, Wanzai has made so many preparations over the past few years, how could he easily give up his unification ambition?

After him, who does Long Live want to assume the post of General?

Thinking of the candidate for the great general's successor, Shen Zhongqing shuddered, she couldn't be the one... Inexplicably, Jian Wu's domineering little face of Jian Wu, who was determined to be a great general since he was a child, flashed before his eyes... …

"Zhen Shiniang!" He turned around and shouted.

"It's been three times..." Zhen Shiniang's voice was flat, "It's fine if you can't guess."

Shen Zhongqing stared blankly at Zhen Shiniang's indifferent face.

Suddenly, he smiled with relief.

No matter what she sold, what conditions she agreed to humiliate the country, the important thing is that he can still watch the sunrise and sunset with her like this...

"Can't walk anymore?" Seeing that Zhen Shiniang stopped to breathe again, Shen Zhongqing reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"Hmm..." Zhen Shiniang leaned on Shen Zhongqing, "Why do we have to go to the top of the mountain?"

"The air there is good, suitable for you to practice the Heart Sutra..." Shen Zhongqing's voice was full of affection, and he bent down naturally.

Zhen Shiniang climbed up his back skillfully.

"...Why do you like being carried on your back so much?"

He still likes to hold her.

Her body is so light that she can no longer feel the weight. Only when she is hugged in his arms can he feel that she is firmly in possession of her.

"Hmm..." Zhen Shiniang thought about it seriously, "Because I can see the road under your feet even if I lie on your back." She hugged Shen Zhongqing's neck affectionately, "Seeing you walking step by step like this , I feel that I have been walking with you all the time, and I can go on like this with you..."

"Then I will carry you on my back every day from now on."

"Have you ever carried someone else like this before?"

"Yes..." Shen Zhongqing replied without thinking.

"Who?" Zhen Shiniang froze.

"Shihu..." Shen Zhongqing said solemnly, "Back then he took three secret discs deep into the hinterland of South Vietnam to spy on news, but he didn't return for three days, so I took people to look for it. Later, I found Shihu who was seriously injured and unconscious by the mountain stream. Hu, the guards around me are all scattered to find him, I have no choice but to carry him on my own, why..." Sensing the warm breath blowing from behind his ear again, Shen Zhongqing asked with a smile, "Do you think I Who will carry it?"

"...Shen Zhongqing!"

Zhen Shiniang suddenly realized that Shen Zhongqing was teasing her, and punched him vigorously.

There was a burst of laughter in the valley.

……

A round of red sun slowly rises from the sky, and the fiery red morning glow dyes the pair of couples who are carrying each other with a golden halo. Facing the direction of the sunrise, they gradually shrink into a blurry silhouette...
