me and my ex lover

600 years ago, Lu Guo.

Recently, the news that Luo Ning beheaded the Hu people's god of war Yu Wenxin spread to the capital, and the emperor Longxin was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Luo Ning to return to the capital and reward her.Unexpectedly, there were barbarians' spies in the army, the whereabouts of Luo Ning and his party were leaked, they were ambushed on the way, and the two armies fought a battle in the wild.

The caravan passing by witnessed the tragic situation after the war, so they rushed to the nearest Liangcheng to report to the officials, and Wu Zongyang was in charge of guarding Liangcheng.

When he heard the news, he quickly organized a team to rush to the scene. The first thing he saw was corpses everywhere, and his first reaction was to command his subordinates: "Check to see if there are any living people!" Then he saw lying on the ground motionless. Luo Ning, who was on the ground, immediately jumped off the horse and galloped over.

It's a pity that Luo Ning has already lost her breath. She opened her eyes, her dilated pupils looked at nothingness, and she couldn't stand her eyes.

Wu Zongyang hugged the cold and stiff corpse, and it seemed that something was about to come out of his eyes in an instant. The indignation, sadness, and unwillingness were surging in his heart, and he was trembling violently even with his breath.

"General..." The subordinate behind him hesitated to speak, Wu Zongyang opened his eyes, and blinked hard a few times to make sure that nothing would come out again, he hoarsely said: "What's the matter?"

The subordinate then reported: "General, there are still survivors in Hu Junzhong, do you want to bring them back to the city?"

"Kill him directly." Wu Zongyang said coldly.

"Yes."

After the subordinate was ordered to retreat, Wu Zongyang took off her mask, slowly closed her eyes, put it on again, and transported her back to the city together with other soldiers who were still breathing.

After Wu Zongyang returned to the city, he drafted a memorial to be sent to the capital, and at the same time reported the matter to Luo Yuejun.

Only one day later, Luo Yuejun returned a secret letter, ordering him to bury Luo Ning secretly before sending someone from the capital, and then replace her with someone similar in size, so that her true identity must not be revealed.Wu Zongyang had expected this.

Based on Luo Ning's achievements, the emperor will definitely give him a generous burial, which should have belonged to Luo Ning, but it was cheaper to give it to another irrelevant person.But even though he had all sorts of grievances in his heart, he could only accept the orders of his adoptive father.

During the day, he stayed in the study until the evening, when he put the things he had written, a painting, and Luo Ning's belongings into a wooden box.

Just then, the subordinate came to report.

"Come on, what's the matter?"

"I tell the general that when my subordinates were moving General Luo's body, a memorial slipped out from General Luo's armor. The subordinates were worried that it contained important military affairs, so they didn't dare to neglect it, so they hurriedly sent it to the general for review." He said. Present the memorial with both hands.

"Hmm." Wu Zongyang took the memorial without opening it, and asked him, "Is everything ready? Is there anyone else besides you who knows?"

"It's ready, the subordinate will handle it personally, and no third person will know."

"Okay, remember to inform me when the coffin is sealed, I still have some things to put in."

"Yes."

After the subordinate retreated, Wu Zongyang opened Luo Ning's memorial.

Before opening it, he really thought that there was some important military affairs written in the memorial, but he didn't expect...

Wu Zongyang took a serious look at the content, his eyes widened the more he looked at it, his hands holding the memorial froze, and he couldn't believe it, as if the world was collapsing, he repeatedly silently read the contents of the memorial in black and white, making sure that he hadn't read a single word wrong .

Oh my god……

The incident was too shocking, he suddenly became dizzy, tried to stabilize his body, and finally slumped down on the grand master's chair.

He didn't know how long he was stupefied with an expression of earth-shattering. It wasn't until his subordinates came over to report that the coffin could be sealed, that Wu Zongyang came back to his senses, "...I see, I'll be there later."

The subordinate left again.

Wu Zongyang was still sitting on the grand master's chair, with mixed emotions in his heart.

There was a wooden box that had already been sealed on the desk. After thinking for a moment, she opened the wooden box again, took out a piece of paper expressing love, lit it with an oil lamp, and threw the lit paper into the brazier. He looked at the page. Gradually reduced to ashes in the flames, after a long time, he raised his head and let out a long sigh.

……

No one knew that the owner's coffin was secretly sent out of the city. Due to his status, Wu Zongyang couldn't send her to the burial in person, so he could only stand on the city wall and watch the carriage go away.At this moment, he suddenly remembered the memorial he saw last night, and Luo Ning's unrepentant face.

The news of Luo Ning's death has not been informed to the princess for the time being. Under normal circumstances, it is enough to send a letter to inform her, but... he was a little worried, so he decided to go there in person.

……

In the barracks, Wu Zongyang told her the news himself. Before coming here, he imagined the possible reactions of all the princesses. Unexpectedly, she didn't cry, she didn't feel heartbroken, and she didn't even seem to be sad. She was numb, as if she had lost her soul. This situation was more terrifying than her crying directly.

He couldn't figure out her emotions, so he asked carefully, "Princess, are you... all right?"

"..."

"Princess...don't ask me where I will bury Ning'er?"

"Heh." Zhou Miaoshu, who had been silent all this time, finally made a sound, his voice was hoarse, "I asked, so what can I do?"

She said that she wanted to be alone, and sent Wu Zongyang away. Before leaving, Wu Zongyang told the guards in front of the tent to pay special attention to the movements in the tent.

The princess had received the notification, and the other military officers in the barracks had almost received the news. As expected, the officers were all shocked by the sudden news.

Among them, Hu Yaoting had the biggest reaction.

When he heard the news of Luo Ning's death, his face was pale and his lips trembled, "This...it's impossible!"

The messenger was suddenly picked up by him, "The general has just won a big victory, and he set off to the capital to receive the reward a few days ago. How dare you falsely spread the news of his death to disturb the morale of the army? Who sent you here?!"

The messenger swallowed his saliva in shock from his terrifying expression, "My lord... lying about the military situation is a capital crime, and I dare not lie. This is the news from General Wu himself, and there will be no falsehood."

"General Wu? You mean Wu Zongyang?"

"Yes, General Wu is in the barracks now."

……

Knowing that Wu Zongyang was also in the barracks, Hu Yaoting immediately found the tent where Wu Zongyang was staying, and then confirmed the news from him, but he still didn't believe it, unless he saw Luo Ning's body with his own eyes, Wu Zongyang was afraid of accidents, so he didn't agree.

Hu Yaoting had no choice but to ask Zhou Miaoshu.

Zhou Miaoshu was also in a bad mood at this time, no one wanted to see him, Hu Yaoting who was rejected, knelt down in front of Zhou Miaoshu's tent, until she was willing to see her.

Hu Yaoting was born in the countryside. At the age of 20, he finally won the first prize in the military examination. The emperor gave him the post of a lieutenant defending the city in Tongcheng. Shangshu's youngest son took his place, and he was dispatched to a remote town. He wrote angrily and complained many times, but did not get any response.

He once thought that he could only do nothing in this small town for the rest of his life.Until the appearance of "Ronin" brought him dawn.

Luo Ning, who replaced Luo Ning, was "assigned" by Luo Yuejun to the small town where Hu Yaoting lived, and it was during this period that the two met.After getting along for a period of time, Luo Ning used Hu Yaoting's ability to guard a small town, so when Luo Yuejun was ordered by the emperor to return to the barracks, she asked Luo Yuejun for instructions, hoping to bring Hu Yaoting with her.

Hu Yaoting has been following Luo Ning ever since, and he has lived up to expectations, relying on his accumulated military merits from a lieutenant to a lieutenant.He regards Luo Ning as a bole and a benefactor, and Luo Ning has the grace of rebuilding him, and Luo Ning's strategy and heroic demeanor on the battlefield make him admire him even more, even saying that he regards Luo Ning as a spiritual belief. Not too much.

Today, someone told him that the "faith" in his heart was dead.

He didn't believe it, or rather, he couldn't accept it, so he had to confirm it himself.

Hu Yaoting knelt in front of Zhou Miaoshu's tent for a whole day.

Zhou Miaoshu sighed when he heard the guard say that Hu Yaoting had knelt outside for a whole day.

"Let him in," she said.

As soon as Hu Yaoting entered the account, he knelt down in front of Zhou Miaoshu, "Princess! Please allow the general to go to Liangcheng to confirm the general's death!"

Zhou Miaoshu was weak, "Deputy General Hu, General Wu's news will not be wrong."

"The general knows that the general is not suspicious of General Wu, it's just that... the general doesn't believe it! The general doesn't believe it and leaves like this. The general wants to confirm it himself. The general wears a mask, and no one knows his true face. It may be used by the general. Maybe it’s even possible to get away with a substitute?”

Luo Ning and his party encountered a surprise attack without any warning in advance, so how could they have time to use a substitute to escape in an emergency?

Hu Yaoting himself knew that he was deceiving himself and others, and Zhou Miaoshu did not expose him.

Zhou Miaoshu had heard Luo Ning mention Hu Yaoting's experience before. She could understand Hu Yaoting's admiration for Luo Ning, and also understood the importance of Luo Ning in his heart. She also wanted to let Hu Yaoting take a last look at Luo Ning. The problem is It was indeed not Luo Ning who was lying in Liangcheng, and with Hu Yaoting's attention to Luo Ning, it was hard to guarantee that he would not be able to see the clues.

Zhou Miaoshu was deep in thought.Hu Yaoting didn't wait for Zhou Miaoshu's reply for a long time, he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly laughed.

Zhou Miaoshu looked at him puzzled.

"Princess, the last general knows!" He smiled happily, "The general is not dead, right? The general wants to deceive Hu Jun by feigning death, so that Hu Jun can relax his vigilance, and then our army will attack them all in one go! It must be the general's plan, no wonder you and General Wu don't let me go to see the general, is it because they are afraid that the general will spoil the plan?"

"..."

"I just said, the general won't die so easily! Hehehe!"

Zhou Miaoshu looked at his hippie smiling face full of sadness.

"Deputy General Hu." Zhou Miaoshu said slowly, "I allow you to go to Liangcheng to meet General Luo. Let's set off with General Wu tomorrow."

"what?"

"Just follow the orders, you go down first and call General Wu."

"Yes, as ordered."

Not long after Hu Yaoting left, Wu Zongyang came.

He bowed and said: "The princess summoned the general, what orders do you have?"

Zhou Miaoshu said: "General Wu, take Vice General Hu to Liangcheng tomorrow and let him see General Luo for the last time."

"What? This..." Wu Zongyang was surprised, he was puzzled and said: "Princess, you know that in Liangcheng...why did you agree to let him go?"

Zhou Miaoshu's expression was light, "I don't want to go into details. If he finds out that it's a stand-in, you should tell him the truth. He regards Ning'er as a benefactor, worships her, and does everything for her. I think he has the right to do so." Know the truth."

Wu Zongyang wanted to say something, but found that he had no way to refute.

Zhou Miaoshu said again: "I know what you are worried about. If the Marshal asks, you can just say it was my idea."

……

The next day, Hu Yaoting went to Liangcheng with Wu Zongyang.

A few days after that, Zhou Miaoshu received a letter sent by Hu Yaoting, saying that he had seen the general's body. He said that he wanted to personally send General Luo back to Beijing, hoping to return to the barracks later.Zhou Miaoshu approved the approval.

A few days later, Wu Zongyang sent a letter saying that the body of "Luo Ning" disappeared on the way back to Beijing, and some soldiers saw someone suspected of Hu Yaoting appearing nearby before the body disappeared, but at that time Hu Yaoting should have been there On the way back to the barracks, he should not have appeared there, he asked Hu Yaoting if he had ever been back to the barracks.

Hu Yaoting has not been back to the barracks, and for a long period of time, she has not heard any news about Hu Yaoting.

until two years later.

During a military parade, a soldier with a conspicuous appearance caught Zhou Miaoshu's attention. The soldier's face was covered with large scars from burns, which were exaggerated to the point that the entire face looked hideous and terrifying.That face somewhat reminded her of Luo Ning.

She called the recruit out.

"The burns on your face, are they from the war?" she asked.If this injury was left during the war, the army should give him some compensation appropriately.

The soldier lowered his head and replied in a hoarse voice: "Princess, this injury was caused by the fire in my little house, and my throat was choked at that time, it has nothing to do with the war."

"If you have serious sequelae from the war, remember to ask a military doctor to record it. After the war is over, the imperial court will give you extra compensation."

The soldiers said in unison: "Thank you princess!"

……

After the military parade was over, Zhou Miaoshu returned to the general's account, suddenly on a whim, he called the adjutant beside him to ask the soldier's name just now.

Not long after, the adjutant came back.

Zhou Miaoshu was writing the military report, when he saw the adjutant came back, he asked, "Did you get your name?"

"That's right." The adjutant replied, "He said his name is 'Luo Yao'."

Zhou Miaoshu paused the hand holding the pen, opened his mouth, and was speechless for a long time.
