General Dou subconsciously averted his eyes, feeling timid and close to his hometown. He hadn't seen him for three years. His heart was pounding and his whole body was hot and shivering.

Then he adjusted his breathing, raised his head and looked over hopefully, intending to meet the man's gaze, but was greatly disappointed.

Zhou Wenwen did look at him, but it wasn't deliberate, but the kind of very casual look that happens to passers-by, and then looked away very casually, as if nothing happened.

That kind of blandness even made General Dou feel that he had admitted the wrong person.

Reluctantly looking at the past, Zhou Wenwen and the middle-aged attendant next to him walked away, so they were so stingy that they didn't give him the slightest look.

After walking a few steps, the middle-aged attendant asked Zhou Wenwen in a low voice: "Who is that man? He keeps looking at you."

Zhou Wenwen said in his usual cold tone: "I don't know, I don't know."

General Dou froze.

"I don't know?" The middle-aged attendant didn't believe it. "Looking at the clothes, he should be an adult. I haven't seen him before. He should be an official in Beijing who came with Xiao Shijun."

"He's not wearing an official uniform, so we don't need to salute." Zhou Wenwen continued coldly.

"Hey, it's not about this..."

The voices of the two became quieter and General Dou stood where he was, dizzy.

When we parted back then, he felt that Zhou Wenwen had changed, why now...

General Dou's blood was so cold that he returned to his residence in a daze, thinking wildly for a long time, and decided to try again.

He asked about Zhou Wenwen's residence, brought some of the things he had prepared before, and went back and forth in his heart to say what he wanted to say, and arrived at the place after a short walk.

The internal camp miscellaneous office is a common shop for eight people. It is already night, and the miscellaneous staff are on night shift or working in various places. Zhou Wenwen happens to be alone in the room.

General Dou knocked on the door, looked inside, and was silently happy.

However, Zhou Wenwen looked at him half-deadly, neither moving nor speaking.

General Dou suppressed his apprehension, walked into the house, put the burden on the table, and looked around pretending to be relaxed, "The barracks is different from other places, no matter where it is, it is simple, tidy and orderly."

Zhou Wenwen crossed his arms and did not close the door, as if he wanted to drive people away at any time.

He didn't talk to him, so General Dou had no choice but to suppress his embarrassment and continued: "I brought you some clothes, shoes and socks, quilts, and some prohibited dry goods for food." He smiled, "I can't handle that alone. Many, this is just a part, you first look at the color and pattern of the clothes, do you like it?"

General Dou turned around, his eyes full of expectant smiles.

Zhou Wenwen's face was icy and snowy, and the words he uttered were like blades tempered by the strong wind and ice, piercing General Dou's heart hard.

"Are you enough?"

General Dou froze again.

"Are you pretending to be a good wife who is looking for a husband from a thousand miles away?" Zhou Wenwen frowned disdainfully, "Are you still thinking about holding hands and crying? You are too naive."

The forced smile on General Dou's face finally couldn't be maintained, and he asked in disbelief: "You, what are you talking about?"

"What am I talking about?" Zhou Wenwen sneered, "You are a high-ranking official in the capital, rich in wealth and good food, so naturally you don't understand what I'm talking about. I have been serving here for the past three years, and gradually I can see everything clearly."

General Dou was at a loss at first, then came to his senses, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Listen to me, Zhou Wenwen, for the past three years, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Heping Nanhou Mansion seem to have ignored you, but they are actually protecting you. Gu Chongming Your case is as sensitive as your previous actions, if you are not careful, you will be killed, we have to restrain ourselves."

"But I've been paying close attention to your situation, and I've been... thinking about you," General Dou said anxiously, "I dare not write to you because I'm afraid that if I'm accused of being brought to His Majesty , will implicate you and hurt you. So when I miss you, I write down those words. I don’t know how many words I have written in the past three years! This time I wanted to bring them to you, but I felt... embarrassed, so I No. You believe me, we did not ignore you! You must not be suspicious of this!"

Zhou Wenwen paused for a moment, his stern expression eased a little, but he soon became aggressive again, "Did you put all those words in a box again? I can't afford such treatment similar to Siyou's."

General Dou frowned, "It's been so long since Ah You, why are you still..."

"Oh, you are so good at comforting yourself." Zhou Wenwen shook his head disdainfully, "I told you once that although my life has been muddy, my heart can't tolerate the slightest bit of mess. Wrong is wrong, If it's far away, it's far away, if it's cold, it's cold, you can't regret it, and you can't make up for it. Not only Si You, but also other things."

General Dou looked at him helplessly.

"If you say that I have left something for you in the past three years, it is true."

Zhou Wenwen walked to the closet on one side of the room, opened one of the small compartments, took out an envelope from it, and turned around to hand it to General Dou.

General Dou suddenly became nervous. He opened the envelope tremblingly and took out the letter paper. He raised his head and smashed down three big cold and sharp characters, which were exactly the meaning of Zhou Wenwen's brushwork——

and Li Shu.

General Dou's eyes were dimmed. Before coming here, he had thought about various scenarios of reunion, but he had never thought about this scene. His chest heaved violently, "Zhou, Zhou Wenwen, you..."

Zhou Wenwen glanced at him coldly, then turned his head away, as if he didn't want to see his worthless appearance.

"Zhou Wenwen..." General Dou suppressed the anger bursting in his chest, and said in disbelief, "Everyone says you are deep-minded, but I ask myself to understand you, and I know you are actually very simple. After going through so many things, I thought that even though you and I had misunderstandings and grievances, they were all broken up. Although we have been separated for the past few years, I think our hearts are close together, but why, why are you..."

"I know that you have worked hard and lived a difficult life, but do you think it will be easy for us in Beijing? Prime Minister Zhou has been in poor health recently, and most of the court affairs have been handed over to the Inner Court Council, and he rarely even participated in court meetings in the past two months My father handed over the military power, and the Marquis of Pingnan fell into disarray. As a minister of Taichang Temple, what can I do to revitalize the Guangzong and Yaozu of the Marquis? What's more, we have to be cautious and cautious, for fear that if we are not careful, we will make mistakes again."

He took a breath, "I have never told anyone about these things, because I have always insisted on forbearance and do not like to complain, but more importantly, because I have hope in my heart."

Looking at Zhou Wenwen, General Dou's eyes were filled with tears.

"Xian'er grows up day by day, from turning over to walking, from talking to writing, he looks more and more like you. I told him that the other father will go far away for seven years. How fast is seven years? It’s just seven new springs and seven winter snows. Every year I carve Xian’er’s figure under the tree in the yard, and I tell him that if he paints seven times, Daddy will come back.”

Zhou Wenwen's eyebrows were depressed.

General Dou's hands trembling while holding the book of reconciliation, "You and Xian'er are the hope to support my life. Now I come here full of hope, but you tell me that you want to reconcile with me?!" He will be with me Li Shu kneaded into a ball in his palm, "Zhou Wenwen, I told you three years ago that I would not make peace with you!"

General Dou yelled loudly and threw He Lishu away.

Zhou Wenwen clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth after a while, and shouted: "Okay! If you don't make peace, I can't force you, so I'll write a letter of divorce. That's okay, right?!" Said I'm going to get my pen and ink,

"You!..." General Dou was shocked.

Suddenly there was a noise outside the house. Zhou Wenwen, who was looking for a pen and ink, was taken aback. He turned around and picked up the burden brought by General Dou on the table, threw it out, and pushed General Dou a few times, "Get out! Don't Come here! Don't look for me!"

General Dou was pushed outside the house, staggering back and forth.

Not far away, the middle-aged attendant who had been with Zhou Wenwen during the day came back and looked at all this with astonishment.

General Dou managed to stand still, extremely ashamed and indignant. He looked at Zhou Wenwen, who had his neck stuck at the door and was humming angrily. He felt extremely remorseful and disappointed, turned around and walked away quickly.

Zhou Wenwen stared at the baggage thrown away on the ground, staring at the clothes, hats and silver taels in it, took a few breaths, turned around and entered the room.

After a while, the middle-aged attendant came in and sat on his bunk, as if he couldn't help it, and asked Zhou Wenwen, who was hugging his knees at the foot of the bed, "Isn't that the official I met during the day? I said you know each other, You still say you don't know him."

After a long silence, Zhou Wenwen murmured in a trance: "It's an old friend, but also a relative..." His eyes suddenly cut off, "It's an enemy."

The middle-aged attendant was taken aback for a moment, then sighed, "Since you were a man slave, I have seen you as a person who bears a deep hatred."

The middle-aged attendant stared at him for a long time, Zhou Wenwen finally squeezed out a voice through his teeth: "Ten years is not too late for revenge."

After General Dou went back, he was in pain and sorrow for a while, and suddenly felt that this was wrong: Although Zhou Wenwen was always abnormal, this time it was a bit abnormal, which was strange.

He couldn't help wondering if something happened to Zhou Wenwen, and he said those words because he didn't want to hurt him.

He couldn't sleep all night, and had various thoughts over and over again. When he got up the next day, he plunged into the deployment of the alliance ceremony.The alliance is close at hand, and he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, so he has to put his personal affairs aside.

On the tenth day of March in the seventh year of Chengxuan, the envoy of the Rong Kingdom arrived at the northern border of Daxia, and the new ruler of the Rong Kingdom and Xiao Yuheng, the envoy of Daxia, established an alliance ceremony to seal the friendship between the two countries.

The interior of the hall was solemnly arranged, Xiao Yuheng sat in the main seat in court clothes, and General Dou stood on the side.

The new ruler of the state of Rong sits in the VIP seat on the lower right, and the courtiers of the mission are separated behind.

The ceremony of the alliance was carried out according to the rules, and when it came time to hold the wine and drink together, two attendants entered the hall with trays, it was Zhou Wenwen and the middle-aged attendant.

General Dou couldn't help being taken aback.

Zhou Wenwen climbed up the steps, put down the tray on the table in front of Xiao Yuheng, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head to fill up the wine.The middle-aged attendant was in charge of serving wine to the King of Rong and his courtiers.

After serving the wine, the two of them stood in the hall to salute, then retreated to one side and stood side by side, ready to take back the wine glass after it was used up.

Xiao Yuheng took the wine cup first.

The new king of Rong also held the lamp and smiled confidently upward.

General Dou and the courtiers of the Rong Kingdom also took up the wine cups.

Xiao Yuheng said: "Great Xia and Rong Guoguo have formed a good alliance, please drink this cup together." He took his wide sleeve to cover it, and put the wine cup to his lips.

General Dou did as he said.

Just when his lips touched the wine cup and was about to drink it all in one gulp, there was a loud shout in the hall.

"The wine is poisonous!"

General Dou was shocked, and was in a trance for a moment, then suddenly realized that the voice belonged to Zhou Wenwen!

He hurriedly looked down, only to see a silver light flashing in front of him suddenly, Zhou Wenwen turned around and stood in front of the middle-aged attendant. Come.
