Si Tian Guan

    The door opened loudly, and Liu Chongming stood in the threshold in his jacket: "What's the matter?"

    He was uneasy, and there was no second thing to make the housekeeper come to disturb him in the middle of the night.

    The housekeeper has been with him for many years, so he is not long-winded.

     "Sir, General Bai has been found. The man is still alive, but the situation is not very good, so he brought it back."

    A big stone in his heart finally fell, and he had to go out before he could even change his clothes.

    The housekeeper is busy stopping.

    "Your Highness, Mrs. Bai specially ordered, you just need to know. General Bai needs medical treatment and recuperation right now. Even if you go there now, you won't be able to help you much, but it will delay your business. In a few days, when General Bai's injury has stabilized, I will inform you again."

    Liu Chongming took the letter handed by the housekeeper, and it really was his aunt's handwriting.

    Auntie knew that he was so worried that he didn't think about it, and wrote the cause and effect in detail.

    —After Baishiyan went to the south of Beiwangpo alone, he met Ren Rui and his party head-on. Nanya had long been eyeing Shiyan, but now they meet in such a narrow road in the barren mountains and wild ridges, and they immediately outflanked and attacked Baishi. rock.

    —Shiyan was injured and escaped from the siege, but he was unable to get rid of the pursuers behind him.

    —Ren Rui didn't see where he went, but that man was ruthless and decisive, never letting go of any suspicious things, setting fire to the dead grass in the crevice.

    —Shiyan was forced to keep going down, the gap looked narrow, there was no heaven and earth below, and it was very high from the ground. He walked along the mountain stream with thin ice, and finally found a family in the mountain.

    After that, things went smoothly.

    But the village is a long way from the paddock, and Baishiyan was taken home to take care of him.

    Fortunately, Baishilei led Beiya soldiers to search back and forth cautiously, and only learned of Baishiyan's whereabouts from the villagers. Now the person has been properly taken home and healed well.

    Liu Chongming covered his eyes with his hands and choked in a low voice - fate still favors them, nothing is irreversible.

    Shortly before getting the whereabouts of Baishiyan, my sister also had good news.

    After returning from the hunting ground, my sister has been raising her for so many days, and the fetus has finally settled down and never saw red again.

    Although it has experienced ups and downs, everything has finally returned to the right track.

    He never believed in ghosts and gods, but at this time he wanted to kneel down and thank the Bodhisattva and Buddha. He even read the almanac, and deliberately chose a day to go up the mountain to pay homage.

    But before he had time to go out, a guest came to the courtyard, an unexpected guest.

    "Shi...Shiyan! If you don't heal well, what are you doing out here?!"

    Baishiyan's left hand was severely frostbitten, and was wrapped thickly. He supported a cane with his right hand, and limped into the inner courtyard. He was surprised and delighted at Liu Chongming's No, with a rare sullen face, he asked directly, "Where's Qu Chenzhou?"

    Liu Chongming's heart tightened, and he quickly realized that Shi Yan wanted to understand the cause and effect.

    There is no escape from what should come.

    "Don't worry, I didn't let him run away, he was caught." He went over to support Baishiyan and said softly, "I'll take you to see him."

     But along the way, I could only hear the sound of Baishiyan's crutch on the corridor, which was suffocatingly quiet.

    The bedroom was sultry and hot, and a dozen charcoal basins were placed along the wall, driving away the cold air of the large space.

    Turn around the screen, there is a pile of quilts on the bed, and the people below are covered with most of their faces, only the messy black hair can be seen scattered everywhere.

    A pair of slender hands were pulled out of the quilt and locked in a flail with iron finger cots, unable to even bend a finger.

    The flail was led to the bed frame, and the man's face was only exposed by the quilt, and the shadow of his arm was blocked.

    The gauze wrapped around the feet circled up along the legs and submerged in the quilt. The gauze was faintly stained with blood, and a thumb-thick iron chain was also buckled on the left ankle.

    The stubby iron chain was directly connected to the iron ring at the end of the bed, locking the man to bend and stretch his left leg only a few feet away.

    Liu Chongming gestured silently with his eyes, and did not see a trace of shock in Baishiyan's eyes, so quiet that he did not know what to think.

    "Shi Yan," he said softly, watching the firelight reflect the shadow of the group, "It was I who had no eyes, and believed in the wrong person, which cost you almost your life, and... almost everyone."

    Baishiyan supported the crutches, his eyes fell on the quilt, motionless and uneasy, and he was completely different from his old friend.

    Only her chest was heaving violently, as if a cavity of magma was about to erupt.

    "Shi Yan, you hate him and blame him, I know it." Liu Chongming's eyes were hot and humid, he held back the sourness for a long time, and slowly said: "If you want to beat him to kill him, you should also .but…"

    He was filled with guilt and hatred, sandwiched between the two, his heart was twisted like a knife, and he dared not look at his friends.

    "But I have more mistakes than him. I believe in the wrong person, and I am sorry for you. You have hatred in your heart, can you come to me? I will never complain, nor Never fight back."

    "From now on, I will keep him locked here, and I will never let him go out to harm others, just treat this person as no more, okay? You go back and tell your aunt...he dead."

    His voice lowered, he knew he was wrong, but he still begged in a low voice: "Shi Yan...can you...let him die..."

    Baishiyan finally reacted, and belated surprise flashed in his eyes: "Chongming, do you know what he did?"

    "I...I know..." Liu Chongming's hands trembled and curled up in his sleeves: "I know, but it's my fault...the wrong things he did are all because of me. I have married him, and I am willing to bear all his guilt for him, I just ask you to let him live."

    Baishiyan seems to be more excited than him: "It's already this time, are you still protecting him?"

    "Shiyan, I'm the one who can't help you. When all the dust settles, I'll let you deal with it. There's nothing wrong with killing it."

    "I will take him with me in my life and death, and I won't let him be in trouble again. Can you... give him... to me..."

    Baishiyan was silent for a moment, then stretched out his crutches in front of him and motioned for him to support him: "Chongming, get up."

    Liu Chongming didn't want to make himself more embarrassed, he took a few breaths and stood up. He had already said what he had to say, and he could only wait for Baishiyan's trial.

    "Chongming, I heard that you are busy with the Splendid Camp these days." Baishiyan said something else.

    Liu Chongming stayed for a while: "Yes."

    "Then go ahead," Baishiyan turned his eyes: "Let me talk to him alone, talk, talk, talk."

    “Stone Rock…”

    "Go out!" Baishiyan's face was cold, and there was no room for return: "You go to Jinxiu Camp now, don't stay in the other yard, it will affect my mood - in addition, tell the yard to Everyone, no matter what I do, don't stop me."

    "No!" Liu Chongming was shocked and immediately refused: "No!"

     "Chongming, my friendship with you for so many years, is it more important than him?"

    Liu Chongming lowered his head, his eyes were slightly red: "Shi Yan, you can call me obsessive, but I have already punished him, you can look at his injuries, I really have ...please let him go, please..."

    "Go out!" Baishiyan took a few deep breaths, stopped looking at him, but slowed down his voice: "I promise not to hurt him, just say a few words to him, you do as I say Do it, or do you not even believe me?"

    Liu Chongming had to give in, looked anxiously at the bed, gritted his teeth, and turned away.

    Baishiyan also brought people, not long after, someone said softly outside the door: "General, the prince has left, and the direction is to go to Jinxiu Camp, and the shadow guards have also withdrawn. ."

    He answered, and when he heard the door closing, he breathed a long sigh of relief, dropped his crutches, stumbled to the quilt, and shouted softly: "Shen Zhou! Shen Zhou !"

    The hand locked in the iron finger cot moved slightly, but there was no response.

    In a hurry, Bai Shiyan grabbed the quilt, and as soon as he lifted a corner, he saw ambiguous marks all over his bare neck and shoulders, and quickly let go.

    He is not a ignorant child, he knew at a glance how it was left, and he was speechless for a while.

    "He made it clear that you are married! He...he treats you...how can he..."

    "Big Brother..." Qu Chenzhou closed his eyes and moved his lips: "Water..."

    Baishiyan finally heard his answer, and was overjoyed. Tears poured out in an instant, and they were wiped away. He hurriedly asked for water to come in, helped him up, and slowly fed him a few mouthfuls before he saw the song. Shen Zhou took a breath, slowly opened his eyes, and called him softly.

    "Big Brother."

    "Shen Zhou, I'm here," Bai Shiyan was busy responding, but couldn't help turning his face away, sniffing his nose, and then answering: "I'm fine, you can count, I If I knew I was fine, I just wronged you."

    Qu Chenzhou pursed his lips, and still had the strength to smile a little.

    "You don't need to comfort me, eldest brother, before I set off, I handed over the details, I'm not sure..." He had some difficulty speaking, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Where's Jingchen?"

    "Don't worry, I already told him before I came. As you said, some told him, some didn't."

    "He's been looking for his brother for so many years, and he's going to focus on Fang Wuyang. He'll help you too, without much effort."

    "When I come over, he should also be ready to leave. He said he would find an excuse to invite King Ning to walk with him, so that he would have a testimony in the future."

    Baishiyan seems to be afraid that if he speaks slowly, people will not be able to hold on.

    Qu Chenzhou hummed softly and asked, "Where's Ren Rui?"

    Baishiyan hurriedly replied: "Ren Rui's promotion is imminent, there has not been a big turbulence in the DPRK, and Jinpingzhuang has not been discovered yet."

    "Ren Rui is bold and careful, he should have handled it well, and nothing abnormal can be seen from the outside. The person who sent the things hasn't found out yet, you still have some time, too late."

    Feed a few pills over, he watched Qu Chenzhou swallow his head up, lie down weakly in his arms, and couldn't help his nose sore.

    It turns out that there are really people... who can be as fragile as jade, but also as stoic as a rock. It turns out that there are really people who can sacrifice everything for their beliefs.

    "Shen Zhou," he said softly, fearing that he would shatter the person in front of him: "This medicine can help you a little bit of strength, eldest brother won't be able to go out with you for a while, you should pay more attention to yourself, from Go out from the corner gate and keep going south, it shouldn't be long before you can meet Jing Chen."

    Qu Chenzhou hummed again, and sat up struggling with the quilt: "Brother, help me get some clothes."

    Baishiyan didn't dare to look at him closely, so he chose a thicker quilted trousers from the cabinet beside him. He couldn't take off his flail, and he was afraid of delaying time, so he could only cut it with a few swords. Open the shackles, and turn your back.

    The iron clattered behind him, covering the rust of his clothes.

    Baishiyan listened with a heart, and wanted to say something, but felt that her sentimentality was not on the table here.

    After a while, Qu Chenzhou walked slowly by his side. He couldn't put on his robe, so he barely closed it with his hands.

    "Excuse me to take me out."

    Baishiyan supported the crutches with one hand and carefully helped him with the other. He explained that he was in a coma and didn't hear it.

    "I have already let him go. The people in his yard are obedient and don't stop me, but when you leave, I will definitely tell him immediately."

    "You go as fast as you can, and don't let him catch up until you meet Jingchen."

    "Don't worry, I will pay attention to the surroundings when I come, as long as..."

    He hesitated, but still said the name: "As long as Zhongming doesn't say it, no outsider will know."

    Qu Chenzhou didn't react to these two words, just leaned on the door frame and took a breath when he came out of the door.

    The steward outside the door was naturally surprised, but did not dare to say anything.

    Baishiyan looked at the person walking forward with a pale face and was shaky, and couldn't help but instructed: "Shen Zhou...you will be alone in the future, take care of yourself."

    "..." Qu Chenzhou was silent for a moment, then replied softly: "Where is the big brother, I am afraid that I will have many things to ask the big brother."

    "Shen Zhou, Chongming is unforgivable for treating you like this, and I don't expect to intercede for him, just..."

    The two should have reached the same destination by different paths, but they had to turn into the current situation. He was stuck in the middle, unable to say anything, and was suffocating.

    Qu Chenzhou stood on the threshold, stopped quietly for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

    "Forgive?" He murmured: "Between us, we all let each other down. He hurts me, and I use him. I can't talk about who forgives who."

    "Brother, the situation of the prince... seems to be a little different from what I expected. He doesn't know everything yet. And these days, he comes to me every night and refuses to sleep. I think he doesn't want to. Accept the past."

    "I'm afraid that he will lose his sense of rage when he leaves. I hope my elder brother will help him and remind him to have priorities."

    "If you really want my life, let him take it after the dust settles."

    "As for the rest, I don't need to say more. The past life is fate and sin. Maybe we are destined to go nowhere, so we won't force it."

    He turned around and bowed hard to Shiraishiyan.

    "From now on, Chongming will be yours."

    "You... don't worry," Baishiyan hurriedly supported him, many words choked in his throat, but he only struggled to ask: "Do you have anything to leave him."

    "Yes," Qu Chenzhou said softly, "Remember the third request I said before..."

    "In this life, I have never hoped to renew the relationship with the prince, and it is my good fortune to be able to regain my love in the past two years."

    "If I am still alive after this, please allow me to travel far away to see the outside world."

    "If the sinking boat dies one day, please give me a thin coffin and don't let me live again."
