Qi Kuo

Zhao Jun walked beside Qianqian step by step, listening to her talk about many things.

Zhao Jun smiled after hearing this: "Do you want to leave?"

Qianqian stopped and looked at him, bit her lower lip, and said, "Will you agree?"

Zhao Jun said indifferently: "When I redeemed you, I said that I would not say anything if you wanted to stay, and I would not keep you if you wanted to leave. There has always been a clean relationship between us. , there is no such thing as whether to agree or not."

Qianqian looked up at Zhao Jun's face against the warm winter sun, saw the untied hair on his ears blowing with the icy winter wind, smiled and touched the grown dog beside him, and said: "Zhao Jun? There has never been a clear relationship between us."

Zhao Jun glanced at her and said nothing.This was the first time Qianqian called him by his name since she had been with him for so long, decisively and without hesitation, not the cold "General".

Zhao Jun nodded: "If you say no, then you won't... Then where are you going to go?"

Qianqian looked at the snow falling profusely in the distance, raised her hand to help Zhao Jun brush off the snow on his shoulders, and said, "I don't know, maybe it's just like what you said before, wandering the rivers and lakes and seeing all the great rivers and mountains."

Zhao Jun didn't stop her action and didn't dodge. He just turned his body slightly after she finished shooting, and then said: "You are a girl, and you don't have martial arts... Go out by yourself, be careful."

Qianqian smiled: "I know, it is possible that one day when you are fighting a war, you will suddenly see me again..." She smiled: "Forget it, let's not talk about it, I'll go first." She turned to look at Shanghan behind her. Dajun, smiled: "In my lifetime, I am also someone who can stay in the army... When they came in, I saw the National Defense Army retreat from us. At that time, I saw the general named Chen Ke retreating in an orderly manner... ...I knew you wouldn't lose."

Zhao Jun frowned: "Huh?"

But Qianqian avoided his words and just patted him on the shoulder: "Be careful." Then she weighed her feet and whispered in his ear: "Be careful of getting sweaty."

After speaking, he left without looking at Zhao Jun's expression.

She is just a small passer-by in Zhao Jun's life, there is no need to stay for too long.

She didn't report any feelings to Zhao Jun, but was grateful for everything he brought her and the freedom he brought her.

Zhao Jun rode back after sending Qianqian away, and met Mo Xuan who was about to look for him on the way, and Zhao Jun raised his hand to say hello.

Mo Xuan walked towards him, raised his head and asked, "I heard that Qianqian is gone."

Zhao Jun nodded, hummed softly, got off the horse, and walked back with Zhao Jun while leading him.

Mo Xuan asked: "Now you are alone again."

Zhao Jun laughed: "What do you mean I'm the only one, aren't you human?"

Mo Xuan curled his lips, and suddenly remembered something, and asked, "The last time Shang Hanchen came to ask me what happened to that piece of Chen Ke's jade pendant hanging beside your bed."

Zhao Jun said without expression: "Then did you say that?"

Mo Xuan nodded: "I said it, and didn't you also say that the jade pendant was used to alert yourself? I thought it was nothing, so I told him."

Zhao Jun thought for a while before answering: "Alright, I won't have to explain when they come to ask me."

They walked all the way back, Zhao Jun said to Mo Xuan before returning to the tent, "Pack up your clothes, maybe we will be leaving soon."

Mo Xuan didn't understand, so he tilted his head.

Zhao Jun lifted the curtain and said, "Because I will go out for peace talks in a few days. If the talks go through, we should go to the capital this year."

Mo Xuan nodded, indicating that he knew.Zhao Jun had nothing to say to him, so he walked in, and when he was about to put down the curtain, he heard Mo Xuan asking him behind his back: "You...don't feel guilty?"

The expression on Zhao Jun's face suddenly sank, he didn't turn around, and said to the exquisite decoration in the tent: "Guilty? What should I feel guilty about? Turn around and join you?" He paused: "Mo Xuan , this world is not equal, it is impossible to ask others to give you back everything you give away... There is no guilt between me and them, it's just a difference in choice."

He was a little powerless at the end, ignored Mo Xuan's response, walked in on his own, and lowered the curtain.

He didn't do anything after he went back, he just washed his face, drank some water, took off his clothes and lay on the bed, not knowing what he wanted.

He asked himself the same question: "Guilty?"

Was he guilty when he himself said their weakness and still didn't change his face?When he stabbed his brother's body with a sword, did he feel guilty?When he stepped up to a high position without hesitation and commanded the Shanghan Army to deal with the National Defense Army, did he feel guilty?

After much deliberation, he only knew that he had no regrets.Never regret it.

This was his own choice, and it was not his turn to regret it.

Zhao Wan once taught him: "No matter what you choose, no matter what it becomes in the end, you must complete it. No matter what you experience or lose in the middle, you just need to do this thing. Before you judge whether these sacrifices are worthwhile, and whether the result you get is what you want. And when you are sure, you don’t have to care about what other people think of you.”

He once asked: "In the end, you find that your goal has not been achieved, or your goal does not accept you?"

Zhao Jun patted his head: "So this is the question you need to think about at the beginning, whether you are sure to do this well. How can you do things the best, and how can you achieve your original goal? the goal of."

He clutched the quilt and thought for a while, isn't his final and initial goal just to be alone.

He sighed lightly, and fell asleep again hugging the quilt.

He thought: "That's it, it's all like this anyway, what are you afraid of? You are in a mess, and you don't care about guilt."

Chen Ke took the imperial decree sent by Gu Zhi just now, and smiled helplessly: "It seems that we can't escape this time."

Song Chenran fiddled with the jade pendant on his waist indifferently, and said, "It's just the peace talks in the past. If you really can't do it, I can help you."

Chen Ke was really speechless: "Oh, really?"

Song Chenran looked at him, showing that he was not joking.

Chen Ke ignored him. He might feel uncomfortable if this person didn't argue with him, so he also skipped this topic and said to himself: "Maybe we will go to peace talks in the near future, and we will wait for the exact time to arrange personnel arrangements. "

Everyone agreed, and just as they were about to leave, they heard someone outside report: "Report to the general, and Shanghan will deliver a letter."

Chen Ke said: "Send it in."

A soldier who usually sends letters came in, raised Xinping over his head, and said, "General."

Chen Ke picked it up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's hard work."

The soldiers went down without answering.

Chen Ke opened the letter, and wrote down the time for the peace talks respectfully. After reading it, he said directly: "All officers and men listen to the order."

Lin Zheng and the others paused before they walked out, turned around and knelt down on one knee, waiting for Chen Ke's order.

Chen Ke thought for a while, and said: "Tomorrow, Zhou Tong will go to the peace talks with me, and you will stay in the army. The rest of the people will secretly distribute their manpower as I told you before."

As soon as his words fell, he heard everyone's reply: "Subordinate, take orders!"

The reason why he dared to make such a simple arrangement was because of his trust, so he never worried.

Everyone dispersed to prepare, and Zhang Zhoutong stayed to discuss tomorrow's matters with Chen Ke.

It was almost evening at this time, and the sky was a bit gloomy. I don't know if there will be more snow tomorrow.

When the sun just rose, Chen Ke and Zhang Zhoutong had already walked outside the city.This newly occupied but revived city was not very lively but rather lifeless. The people who stayed were busy moving out.

Chen Ke rode on the horse and walked slowly into the city.

Some people who knew him greeted him, bowed their heads again and hurried away after saying hello.

Zhang Zhoutong looked at the people who were leaving quickly and said, "They are lucky to be able to leave."

Chen Ke didn't speak.

Tong Zhang Zhou said: "I don't know who the other party is..."

Chen Ke looked at the almost deserted street and said, "I don't know."

Zhang Zhoutong thought that there was still a long way to go before arriving at the agreed place, so he said, "Why do you think Xiao Zhaojun didn't come to the peace talks all of a sudden?"

Chen Ke sighed: "This matter was not his responsibility in the first place, so it's no wonder he didn't come. Moreover, the peace talks are of great importance. Logically speaking, Zhao Jun should not be allowed to come..." He thought for a while, and then said: "But The specific person he arranged can only be seen when the time comes, so let’s adapt accordingly.”

Zhang Zhoutong sighed: "Yes."

As soon as they entered the tavern, they saw that it was empty, except for a table in the middle left in the middle.

The two went to sit down and waited for someone to come.

They didn't wait long before they heard someone coming down from the second floor, stepping on the wooden stairs at a steady pace.

The two looked up, and saw a person wearing a black robe, walking towards them along the stairs.

There was a gleam in Chen Ke's eyes, seeing the person standing opposite him across a table, he said, "General Chen."

Chen Ke stood up and saluted at the same time: "Admiral."

Before Zhao Jun could say another word, he suddenly pulled out a small knife from the side of his leg, and threw it at the corner of the net. After the man roared, he said slowly: "Didn't I say that I won't let you go?" People coming?"

As his words fell, there was a commotion behind him, Zhao Jun ignored it, stretched out his hand to Chen Ke, motioned him to sit down, then picked up the tea on the table and poured two cups, placed them in front of the two, and said: "Sorry, they don't follow the rules."

Chen Ke said lightly: "It doesn't matter."

Zhao Jun pointed to Chen Ke behind him calmly, indicating that there was someone behind him, and Chen Ke blinked to show that he knew.

Zhao Jun smiled.
