Chapter 160

Yu Jiuduo let go of his hand suddenly, regardless of the many large and small wounds on his body, he sat down on the chair slumped.

The envoy continued: "The Khan ordered the troops to retreat, let go of the five border cities, and signed a peace treaty. In the next ten years, Rouran will not step into the land of the Xuan Dynasty again, and will submit to the Xuan Dynasty and pay tribute every year. Rare cattle and sheep, hard-earned horses..."

After that, Yu Jiuduo couldn't listen anymore.

She was silent at first, then raised her head and laughed out loud, her face was wet.

Gu Zhi was right, she thought she could hug Rouran and keep her clansmen by herself, but in the end, Rouran's soldiers sacrificed so many that their blood almost stained half the grassland red, and in the end she still lost. up.

The dying army lingered in the camp all night, and set off on their way home the next day.

The Xuan Dynasty retreated, the war ended, and Khan finally regained his freedom.

And the price of everything is that in the next ten years, Rouran can only be confined to a small area on the grassland, and Khan's eldest son was taken to Xuan Dynasty as a proton. Protons are life-threatening.

Ten years, ten years later, the proton will be released back to Rouran.

In the past ten years, Rouran had to submit to the Xuan Dynasty willingly, and paid countless treasures every year.

Rouran's glory is finally over.

Except for the day when he came back from the battlefield, Yu Jiuduo never went to the palace again.

Khan looked at her and only said that the sixth prince was taken away by the people of the Xuan Dynasty and would never come back.

Yu Jiuduo shouted angrily: "Impossible! How could he be willing to go back with those people who abandoned him?"

Khan was silent, "How do you know he didn't do it willingly?"

"You said..." Her expression froze instantly, "Did he leave willingly?"

Khan closed his eyes and sat there in an old fashioned manner, his wrinkles slowly appearing, but he stopped talking.

Yu Jiuduo never entered the palace again, and sat under the tree in the courtyard day and night, either practicing swords or losing his mind.

Fu Zhu tried to persuade her again and again, but in the end there was nothing to do, so he simply said: "If the general really misses the sixth prince, why not go and get him back in person? Ask him why he left, and ask him if he is really willing to part with you?"

Yu Jiuduo stopped his sword dancing posture, tears welled up on his cheeks.

She is not a fool, many things are not unexpected, but she does not want to think about them. She would rather live in her own wishful dreams than to see the truth.

Because some truths are not something she can afford.

So no matter how much she misses him, how dare she really go to him?
However, she finally found out that it was Khan's birthday, and all the princes and ministers had to enter the palace to congratulate him.

Yu Jiuduo didn't want to appear in a crowded place, so he stayed in Khan's study. Unexpectedly, two officials in the corridor were talking, but he didn't expect that there was someone in the room, and the conversation fell into Yu Jiuduo's ears verbatim .

"It's really unexpected that Rouran raised him for four years, gave him good food and drink, gave him glory and wealth, and his status in the court was even higher than ours, but in the end it was he who betrayed Rouran."

"This is what the Han people call a white-eyed wolf. No matter how you treat him, he will never remember your kindness. It's a pity that I have been so brilliant for so many years, but now I am ruined. Khan believed him wrongly, and the entire NPC After being hit, now her body is getting worse day by day, and the eldest prince is not in the palace, I think Rouran may have reached the end of her lifespan..."

"Shh, keep your voice down, Khan said, this matter must not be heard by General Yunhui, otherwise if Khan blames it, neither of you and I can bear the responsibility."

"Until now, Khan is still protecting that bullshit general?" The man was angry, "If she hadn't mistakenly believed in the thief, followed the other party's advice and lured wolves into the house, would Rouran be where it is today? According to me, She is not Rouran's pride at all, she is pure prodigal bitch! Self-righteous, shrinking her head! Otherwise, why didn't Rouran come out and take responsibility because of her downfall?"

"You can't say that... ah, Mr. Zhang is here? Let's go, don't talk."

The outside of the study room tended to be quiet again, and the person who was holding a book and reading in the study room was already stiff. After a while, his hand slipped and the book fell to the ground with a thud.

A scalding liquid slid down from her cheeks, one, two, and soon it seemed like beads with a broken thread, without stopping.

She had known this day would come, and sooner or later, someone would strip the sugar from the truth and leave her with the ugliest of all.

But I didn't expect it to come so fast.

How could he, who is so informal and unconventional, help a country that abandoned him just because of the blood of the Han people flowing in his body?

He was so scheming and well versed in the art of war, unless the emperor of the Xuan Dynasty was a fool, how could he easily abandon him and send him to such a barren place as Rouran?
He obviously likes a free life without any restrictions, so how could he stay in the royal city to work for Khan for so many years, is it really for a small profit?

Many things that she had never thought about in the past came to her mind after the defeat, and then she finally guessed everything.

But she still chose not to face it, telling herself that he was forcibly taken away, and it was none of his business.

In this way, she just lost her lover, not betrayed.

But until now, she had to face the fact that Gu Zhi was just a soft work sent by the Xuan Dynasty from the beginning to the end. Without him, the Xuan Dynasty would not have won so easily.

Without him, Rouran would not have fallen into this hopeless situation.

Without him...

Yu Jiuduo knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. It was she who fell in love with him, and then innocently led him to the battlefield, gaining Khan's trust time and time again.

She thought she was fighting for the future for the two of them, but in the end she was making wedding dresses for others.

Rouran's biggest traitor is not Gu Zhi, but herself.

That winter, Khan died.

Before leaving, he asked someone to summon Yu Jiuduo overnight, took her hand and said with difficulty: "Ananduo, live well, marry a good husband, be a good wife, you should have your own life .”

Yu Jiuduo finally cried. Facing this elder who had always treated her like her own child, she cried out of breath and kept saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."

Khan smiled gratifiedly, "I thought I would keep this matter from you all the time, and I was worried that after I left, if you suddenly found out the truth, would you not be able to bear it? So you already knew..."

Before dying, his last words were: "In life, who has not made mistakes? You are still young, live well."

The hand that held her tightly was finally released.

Yu Jiuduo cried until the sky was dark, this gentle general had never experienced such a weak moment.

The person she loved the most killed the person she respected the most.

Her life is one of the biggest jokes.

As long as he cared about her even a little bit, he shouldn't treat her like this!During those time together, was she alone wishful thinking in love, or was he pretending to lie to her affectionately?
Khan wants her to live well, but after experiencing such a disaster, how should she live well?
A month later, General Yunhui of Rouran was terminally ill and was on the verge of life and death. The news spread quickly to the grassland, and even to the Xuan Dynasty.

After returning to the palace, the sixth prince who had been staying behind closed doors for the first time stepped out of the palace gate after hearing the news.

The sunlight outside was so dazzling that it hurt his eyes, and he galloped his horse in panic, rushing towards the border non-stop.

Finally arrived at the General's Mansion, Rouran in early spring was still covered with ice and snow, it seemed that since he left, this place had been frozen and never melted again.

He stepped into the general's mansion with despair, and came to the yard unimpeded all the way, but to his surprise, the general Yunhui stood under the tree in good condition, his back was as tall and straight as ever, except for the hair on the braid. Not a single colored bead is gone.

She was dressed in pitch-black clothes, with raven black hair loose, and she looked as if she had just been fished out of the ice and snow, her complexion was pale, and her face was like jade.

Gu Zhidun was there, but she turned around slowly and smiled softly: "You are back."

He almost thought it was his dream.

Because he never dared to expect to be forgiven by her one day, he became a spy for his own country, but what he cheated was not only Khan's trust, but also this pure and flawless heart.

But Yu Jiuduo smiled so nicely at him, as always sincere, gentle and full of affection.

His eye sockets were a little wet, and he thought it was Khan who kept her secret from beginning to end in order to protect her, that's why he finally had today, a day where he could live in peace with her.

Yu Jiuduo said that Khan has gone, Rouran will not have war with Xuan Dynasty again in ten years, and she is no longer needed here.

She said to take her away, the sky is big and the earth is big, and she can make a home anywhere.

Gu Zhi's heart melted at such a moment, he held her hand like a dream, but saw her smile softly, "Before I leave, I want to go to the highest mountain in Rouran again, from where I can overlook the entire grassland, Will you go with me?"

How could he bear to reject her?He nodded without hesitation.

Under the dim sunset, the grassland is peaceful and serene, as if sleeping in a beautiful dream.

The orange light spread all over the place, and everything was like an illusion.

On the top of the mountain, the bitter cold wind blows on the cheeks, as sharp as a knife.

Yu Jiuduo asked him: "When you left me and Rouran without hesitation, did you regret it?"

Gu Zhi said: "I regret it all the time."

She chuckled, "What do you regret? Did you deceive me, or betray me?"

At that moment, Gu Zhi's blood froze.He turned his head to look at her abruptly, "What did you say?"

Yu Jiuduo shook his head and laughed, "Stop pretending, you know what I'm talking about."

Gu Zhi's dream was finally shattered, and it was ridiculous to hope that she would still be kept in the dark, but in fact she already knew everything.

Yu Jiuduo said: "I thought I met the best man in the world, but in the end I met the best liar in the world. He gave me the greatest hope and at the same time gave me the greatest disappointment. He made me think that there is more in life. Good things are waiting for me, and in the end, you tell me personally that all the good things you think are just fleeting, nothing lasts forever, just like no one deserves to be treated with all your sincerity."

She pulled out the long sword at her waist and stabbed at him recklessly, but he didn't dodge or dodge, letting the long sword pass through his heart.

Blood was lying on the snow, drop by drop, Yu Jiuduo finally stopped, the long sword was still in his body, but his expression was unprecedentedly serene, even a little... relieved.

He said: "I can't deny the blood flowing in my body, and the mission I shoulder can't be shirked, but I never thought of cheating anyone's feelings, especially you."

He said: "I never thought that one day I would fall in love with someone, even if that person is on the opposite side of me, if we are together, it will definitely hurt others and myself. So I tried to push you away, but in the end I couldn't hold back my heart. "

So Yu Jiuduo finally noticed the wet spot on his face, she failed to pierce his heart in the end, but deviated from her goal.

She cried and laughed, and said in a decisive tone: "Gu Zhi, I hate you, and I hope you will live in pain and guilt for the rest of your life."

After finishing speaking, she jumped off the cliff without hesitation.

But what she didn't expect was that the moment she jumped up, the people behind suddenly stretched out their arms to embrace her, and then they both fell off the cliff.

He said, "We're going to die together."

It's a pity that God seems to reject this kind of suicidal person, Yu Jiuduo didn't die, neither did Gu Zhi.

Under the cliff is a piece of soft snow, rolling all the way down the cliff, and in the end the two just passed out, covered in bruises, but did not die.

Gu Zhi was rescued by the people sent by the Emperor Xuan, while Yu Jiuduo woke up by himself and was rescued by the people sent by the new Khan.

Xuan Chao and Rou Ran announced at the same time that the sixth prince Gu Zhi was dead, and General Yun Hui passed away, so the two people who fell in love but could not be together thought that the other was dead.

So there is the scene at the beginning of the story, the sixth prince Gu Zhi lives in seclusion in a small courtyard beside the Mo River, living a life of poverty and loneliness with his limp, like atonement.

And in the end, he reunited with his beloved on the battlefield.

National enmity and family enmity are already a matter of the previous life. In this life, Yu Jiuduo doesn't want to bear any more grudges against someone who is willing to die with him.Over the years, she has thought a lot. If she were in Gu Zhi's position, she might end up making the same choice as him.

Now that we have been reborn, maybe we should learn how to forgive and let go.

In the grove on the battlefield, he looked down at her distressed appearance, finally sighed, and helped her up.

"Without me, you always put yourself in such a mess."

But Yu Jiuduo cried and laughed, and finally hugged him desperately.

"It's good that you're not dead," she said.

It's great to be together from now on, regardless of worldly affairs.
