Father's Day Apocalypse

Meng Duo's heart sank to the bottom as the medicine bowl fell to the ground.

Lu Shiying's hand holding the bowl hung in the air, slowly clenched it into a fist, retracted it and put it on the quilt, shifted his gaze from Qin Bai's face to Meng Duo, bent his lips and smiled, "I didn't hold it steady, sorry. "

Qin Bai's throat rolled, his pupils trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something but tried his best to suppress it, Lu Shiying said: "I'm much better after drinking the medicine, let's go out, the wounded barracks are too busy, I need the great doctor Qin to save the dead and heal the wounded."

Qin Bai was silent for a while, then stood up and left.

Only Meng Duo and Lu Shiying were left in the handsome tent, and Lu Shiying stretched out his hand and said, "Come here, I want to hug you."

Meng Duo obediently leaned over, put his head on Deer Shiying's shoulder, smelling the bitter medicine on his body, remembering that Deer Shiying seemed to be not healthy all the time, he closed his eyes, and squeezed Deer Shiying hard Clothes, then stepped back a little, looked at the deer and said, "Why have you refused to promise me?"

Deer should say: "What?"

"Promise me never to hide anything from me," Mundo said.

Lu Shiying and Meng Duo looked at each other, with a smile on his lips, and Meng Duo's eyes were firm, serious and persistent, as if telling Lu Shiying that he needed this answer, he must.

Lu Shiying's smile gradually faded, and he let go of Meng Duo's hand.

Meng Duo's heart ached, he frowned, and said, "Is it difficult? Is it difficult to promise me?"

Deer should say yes.Meng Duo said: "Can't I care about you? If you are injured and sick, I won't feel sorry for you. Shi Ying, can't I do anything in your heart?"

Lu Shiying said no, and raised his hand to shake Meng Duo's, but Meng Duo stood up, left the bed, took a deep breath, and said, "I only want one promise, I don't care about other things, I just want you to promise Me, don't hide me anymore."

Lu Shiying: "I...", Lu Shiying didn't want to lie to Meng Duo, but he couldn't promise, his fingers became stiff, he couldn't hold things, and when he woke up, he felt palpitations. He is dying.

Meng Duo looked at Lu Shiying in disappointment, and then slowly backed away, one step after another, as if he wanted to exit Lu Shiying's world.

Lu Shiying wanted to catch him, but he didn't hold Meng Duo's hand just now, and now he seemed to have lost his courage, so he could only watch helplessly, watching Meng Duo turn and leave in frustration.

There was a suffocating pain in his chest, and Deer Shiying clutched his chest tightly. Blood dripped from his lips, fell on the quilt, and bloomed into gorgeous flowers.

It's time, the deer should tell yourself, it's time.

The sea breeze in Xiangshui Bay is much colder than the wind on the Grand Canal in Kyoto. Meng Duo's bones seem to have been blown through by the wind. The coldness travels from his limbs to his heart. His blood is getting colder, and his heart is also colder. down.

Is he wrong, does he want a promise? Is he wrong, Lu Shiying is injured or sick, he just wants to know at the first time, is this wrong, isn't he Lu Shiying's sweetheart, why doesn't he even know No, Meng Duo doesn't understand, really doesn't understand.

"Aduo, it's too cold, let's go back." Zhong Qiyan came at some time, and put a robe on him, "Go back quickly, if you get sick again, Master Lu will—"

When Zhong Qiyan saw Meng Duo's red eyes, he was speechless.

Meng Duo whispered: "Am I wrong?" Zhong Qiyan: "Who bullied you, Ado, tell me, although I don't know how to fight, I won't let anyone bully you." Meng Duo, who is heartless, has seen him cunning, romantic, capricious, and reckless, but he has never seen Meng Duo who sheds tears silently.

Meng Duo touched his face and looked down at the water stains on his fingers. Meng Duo has loved Zhong Qiyan for so many years and never cried because of Zhong Qiyan, but Meng Duo was liked by Lu Shiying, but because of Lu Shiying, his eyes were red many times shed a lot of tears.

Mondo isn't like Mondo anymore.

Zhong Qiyan hugged Meng Duo and patted him on the back lightly, "Don't cry, I feel sorry for the Brotherhood."

Meng Duo thought in his heart, it would be great if Lu Shi should be Zhong Qiyan.

Not far away, Lu Shiying slowly turned around.

The capital was in chaos, the late emperor died but did not mourn, and Beiyu's letter of surrender was temporarily left in Lu Shiying's hands. He summoned several generals to discuss the next plan with Zhao Yun. I don't understand, there is also a delay in the message sent by the messenger, but Lu Shi should be well aware of the prince's habits, it is impossible to be unconscious because of excessive grief, there must be something strange in it.

At this time, the news of Beiyu's victory had not yet reached the capital, and Lu Shiying still had more than 5000 soldiers in his hands. From Xiangshui Bay to the capital, if he worked hard, he could arrive in less than [-] days. Lu Xiang The Northwest Army led by less than [-] people will take more than half a month to reach the capital, while General Feng Yun is far away in the southwest, and it will take at least two months to rush to the capital.

If they leave immediately, Lu Shiying and the others will just be able to surround them when Lu Xiang and the others arrive in the capital. The Northwest Army has been idle for too long, and Lu Xiang is too young to be reused, but Lu Shiying and the others have just experienced fighting on the battlefield , Defense and combat capabilities are at their peak.

It was quiet in the commander's tent. Several generals had been stationed in the coastal area for a long time and had not had close contact with the capital. After hearing Lu Shiying's words, one of them asked, "If something happens to the prince—" Looking at Lu Shiying's expression, He hesitated and said, "The second prince is the only crown prince, so what should we do?"

Lu Shiying's throat was dry and sore, he went to get the teacup, stretched his hand halfway, then retracted it stiffly, Zhao Yun stood up and brought the water on the table to Lu Shiying.Lu Shiying changed his hand to catch the porcelain cup, smiled, and said, "Who said the second prince is the only crown prince?"

Several generals looked at each other, and Zhang Lijiang who was sitting in the corner suddenly said, "Everyone forgot? General Zhao is also surnamed Zhao, and he is the sixth prince with a proper name."

Zhao Yun sat there calmly, without saying a word, as if the sixth prince Zhang Xiaohou said had nothing to do with him, Zhang Lijiang came out from behind the table, walked to the open space, lifted his clothes and knelt down on one knee, saying: " Your Highness has been taught by the national teacher since he was a child, and his cultivation and knowledge are not inferior to His Royal Highness and Second Highness. If you are not talented, I hope that the horse will follow the lead and follow the sixth prince."

Zhao Yun looked at Lu Shiying, who looked calm, as if waiting for his answer.

The sea breeze whistling and neighing in Xiangshui Bay seemed to indicate an upcoming storm. Zhao Yun stood up and said that thanks to the great love of the general and the national teacher, he would like to help the righteous way and eliminate the cancer in the court.

On the day when the army broke camp, Lu Shiying went to see Meng Duo.

Meng Duo heard A Luo talking about the movement in the army, saying that they were going back to the capital. Meng Duo had no time to think about it. He should come in when he saw the deer, so he stopped talking immediately. A Luo exited the tent with a wink, went outside to guard with.

When Meng Duo saw the deer, he was still indifferent, sitting there not approaching or talking.

Lu Shiying walked up to Meng Duo and squatted down, saying: "Don't be angry, I have something to tell you, there is turmoil in the middle of Beijing, and the army needs to leave for Beijing immediately, you—you and Mr. Zhong stay in Jiangyang City, I will Let Mu Qi protect your safety, and when all the dust settles, I will send someone to pick you up and return to Beijing."

Meng Duo said: "If you don't agree to me, why should I listen to you?"

Lu Shiying smiled wryly, looked into his eyes, and said, "I promise you." Meng Duo's cheeks bulged, "What if you lied to me again?"

Lu Shiying was silent for a moment, held his hand, and said, "If I lie to you again, let me—"

His throat tightened, his voice suddenly became hoarse, and a sense of sourness flooded his heart, Lu Shiying said word by word: "Just punish me for losing you forever, and punish me for only watching you grow old with others. Old man, I will never see you again."

Meng Duo said yes, smiled and leaned over to kiss Lu Shiying's lips, and then said: "But I don't want anyone else. Let's change the punishment. I will punish you to serve me tea and water in the future, and serve Meng well." Master forever."

Lu Shiying looked at Meng Duo in a daze, a tear fell on the back of his hand unexpectedly, he quickly lowered his head, his body trembling, Meng Duo was puzzled, "... Shi Ying", and wanted to help him up, But Lu Shiying suddenly hugged him tightly.

Lu Shiying's body trembled violently, and his voice was hoarse. He hugged Meng Duo tightly, said sorry many times, and then told Meng Duo that he lied, saying that when he went to Kyoto, Lu Shiying Not coming back, not coming back in the future.

For the next two days, Meng Duo was not very sober. Zhong Qiyan rode in the same carriage with him. Seeing that he was not in good condition, he asked Aluo to invite Lu Shiying. Lu Shiying rode in front of the army and did not personally Come here, let Qin Bai come to check Meng Duo's pulse.

Afterwards, Meng Duo seemed to recover suddenly, he just stayed quietly in the carriage, not talking all day long, Qin Bai came to see him, shook his head and left again.

When he was approaching Jiangyang City, Meng Duo suddenly said to stop, and he would not go to Jiangyang.

Zhong Qiyan persuaded: "Aduo, don't mess around."

Meng Duo said calmly: "When did I mess around? The Meng family has a shop in the south of the Yangtze River. I will go to the south of the Yangtze River by water. The south of the Yangtze River is far enough from the capital, and the flames of war will not reach me." Zhong Qiyan said: "Master Lu knows, Does he agree?"

Meng Duo turned his face and looked out the window. There are lofty mountains in the distance, deep forests and quiet birds on both sides of the official road. Really being able to stay together for a long time, in the end it will be nothing.

If you can’t get it, it’s okay if he doesn’t want it.

Meng Duo said to Zhong Qiyan: "Are you going to Jiangnan with me?"

Zhong Qiyan thought for a while, but was still worried about Meng Duo, and said, "Go, I'll tell Master Lu."

Meng Duo looked out the window and did not stop Zhong Qiyan.

The army divided into five routes from outside Jiangyang City to enter Beijing. Zhang Lijiang and several generals led each route and set off overnight. Lu Shi should leave with Zhao Yun the next day. When he learned that Meng Duo wanted to go to Jiangnan by water, Lu Shi sighed. After taking a breath, he asked Zhao Yun to take the others away first. He sent Meng Duo and the others to Qin Shihe, watched them board the boat, and then chased them quickly.

Zhao Yun didn't know that Lu Shi had not been appointed soon, and thought he was worried about the turmoil in the capital, so he sent Meng Duo away, and said: "Teacher, if you don't worry about Mr. Meng's safety, I can send more people to protect Mr. Meng when we get to the capital. sent him away on purpose."

Zhao Yun didn't have much opinion on Meng Duo, but he didn't know what the teacher was looking for in him, so he didn't care too much about Meng Duo, but if keeping Meng Duo would make the teacher happier, he would also like to Send someone to protect Mengdo's safety.

Lu Shiying shook his head and said, "No, he can go wherever he wants."

The first two times when I went to Jiangyang City, Meng Duo was filled with caring people and didn’t care to look at the scenery. It seemed that I had forgotten about the half of the city’s fireworks that night. When I came to Jiangyang again, Meng Duo asked Aluo to buy fireworks again. , Standing alone on the arch bridge over the moat, lighting a candle with a joss stick.The fight in Xiangshui Bay is still in my ears, and the wind and clouds in the capital city are treacherous, but Jiangyang City is as peaceful and peaceful as ever, and there are still fireworks blooming all night long. Meng Duo looked up at the flowing smoke, thinking of a The night he celebrated Zhong Qiyan's birthday years ago was also so splendid and lonely.

Lu Shiying was standing not far away, the water in the moat was gurgling, the east wind had not left, and the spring breeze had never arrived, only the splendor of this pool was like the last fire that warmed the heart.

Lu Shiying went to Meng Duo's side and said: "Jiangnan is no better than the capital. Although it is warm in winter, it is humid. Qin Bai said that the injury on your leg hurts when it is cold. I asked Ah Luo to buy a few heaters. When we got on the boat, we would go to the river and wait for it." light."

Meng Duo squatted on the ground to light the fireworks. The thin incense candle was red at the end, and the twisted wire of the fireworks tube was very long, but Meng Duo lit it a few times, but it couldn't light up. He frowned and threw the incense candle on the ground.

Lu Shiying squatted down, picked up the joss stick, and helped him light the fireworks.

Meng Duo's eyes were full of brilliance, but his eyes were cold, he said, "I knew I was going to die soon, so why bother to provoke me?"

Lu Shiying felt a sharp pain in his heart, "I thought about it...but I..."

Meng Duo said: "Since you have already decided to hide it from me, why now—why come to see me off? From now on, where I go, where I am, does it matter to you?"

Lu Shiying was full of bitterness, wanted to say that he couldn't help it, wanted to say that he couldn't bear it, had a lot to say, but in the end he didn't say anything.Back then at the gate of the Lu Mansion, I didn’t say what I wanted to say because Meng Duo wouldn’t care if I said it. Now, by the moat of Jiangyang City, I didn’t say what I wanted to say because I said too much, and I would eventually become one in the future. Heart disease, every time Meng Duo thinks back, he can only think of the disappointment and loneliness he left behind.

Meng Duo didn't look at the deer, turned around and walked back, saying, "Don't come to see me off, I don't want to see you."

Lu Shiying's throat was choked, and boundless pain surged into his heart. He held back and said softly to Meng Duo's back, "Okay."
