Difficulty in deciphering

Zhao Minghe saw the bright yellow on the city wall from a distance, like a warm lamp in the blue morning light.

Zhao Minghe knew that after every bloody battle, she could always see this lamp.

It will illuminate the darkness around her and give her the courage to continue.

For a moment, Zhao Minghe was startled by his own thoughts.Although she was extremely reluctant, she couldn't kill the warmth that spread from the bottom of her heart.The warmth continued to rise, burning her heart that had been as quiet as a cold pool.

It's ridiculous to say...

She, Zhao Minghe, continued to walk, not for anything else, just for...

Just turn off the light with your own hands.

Fate makes people.

During countless tossing and turning late at night, Zhao Minghe kept repeating this sentence in his mind.

There is nothing desirable in the palace.The city walls there are tall and majestic, the bricks and tiles there are as red as blood, and there is a smell of conspiracy and death everywhere.

but……

because you are here.It all came alive.

You are the end of all my hopes and ruins.

Lin Huiye.

Sometimes... I even forget my mission...

I just want to protect your country.

protect you.

That's it... stay with you, grow old, sleep deeply.

but……

Everything is destined to be irreversible from the beginning...

Kaguya.

"She's not waiting for Zhao Minghe." I don't know when Wu Lan came up from behind on a horse, and happened to see Zhao Minghe's complicated eyes, and said.

"..." Zhao Minghe was interrupted by Wu Lan's words, as if awakened from a dream.She gave Wu Lan a faint sideways glance, and without hesitation rode her horse to the front of the team, keeping a distance from the woman.

Heart-eating Gu.

Zhao Minghe frowned.As long as she still has this kind of Gu under Wu Lan on her body, as long as the Gu has not expired, then once she stands beside Wu Lan, this woman may know what she thinks, which is too dangerous.

only……

Yes.

Zhao Minghe thought.

Perhaps what Wulan said made sense.

At this moment, Lin Huiye didn't know who she was, she was just standing on the city wall out of habit.

And where...is it because of Zhao Minghe?

It's just an illusion...

Chuanyi saw that Lin Huiye's smile gradually faded as the team approached, and he changed into his usual calm look.

"Follow me down and meet them." Seeing the team standing still, Lin Huiye said.

"Yes." Chuanyi agreed in a low voice, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Huiye, unable to figure out what his Majesty was thinking.

Chuanyi was puzzled, at this moment Lin Huiye was standing straight and walking upright, how could he... look like a terminally ill person?

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that this man couldn't even stand up two days ago.

Zhao Minghe didn't know how long he hadn't seen Lin Huiye, but when that person came down from the city wall and walked in front of him, he suddenly felt startled.

That person...why is he so thin?

So thin...the dragon robes are so empty?

"Your Majesty is so polite. He came out to greet us even though he was seriously ill." Wu Lan saluted Lin Huiye.

"I can't die yet, so I came out for a walk." Lin Huiye didn't have a good impression of Wu Lan. She still remembered the iron claws that remained between his ribs and his frivolity.

Wu Lan didn't expect Lin Huiye to speak so ruthlessly after becoming the king of a country, she was at a loss for words for a moment, and turned to look at Zhao Minghe.

"This is...General Yongran?" Sure enough, when Lin Huiye looked at Yongran, he smiled.

Zhao Minghe's eyes suddenly met Lin Huiye's. Although his face was calm, his heart was full of waves.

"Your Majesty must have heard a little bit that General Yongran of our country suffered from a serious illness a few years ago and has been unable to speak since then." Wu Lan said. "Now what she thinks in her heart has to be conveyed by Wu Lan."

Hearing what Wu Lan said, Lin Huiye raised his eyebrows slightly, stared at Zhao Minghe thoughtfully and said to Wu Lan.

"You know what she thinks?"

"Of course." Wu Lan smiled, and then answered.

"Then tell me, what is General Yongran thinking now?"

"The general said that he was honored to meet His Majesty, but he does not know when he will be formally received to discuss business matters."

Hearing what Wu Lan said, Zhao Minghe didn't correct her. She just felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat, so she could only stand aside with no expression on her face.

"It's not urgent." Lin Huiye said. "I will prepare a banquet to welcome the two envoys, and to clean up the dust for you. It will not be too late to discuss after the dinner."

"Why is Your Majesty so caring?" Wu Lan said.

"It's not really my heart." Lin Huiye replied with a smile. "It's just that my Pan Dynasty has strict laws and regulations, and etiquette is essential."

Wu Lan listened to Lin Huiye's words, but there was no sense of respect in her heart.

Lin Huiye didn't pay attention to Wu Lan any more, turned around and went up to Long Huan, the little maid behind her immediately came up to greet her, hail two sedan chairs, and wait for the envoy from the Red Kingdom to enter the city gate.Seeing this, Wu Lan had no choice but to give up her sedan chair, and followed Lin Huiye in.

Liu Rui was standing in the corner of the city gate, and after seeing all the people from the Chi country entering the city gate, he gave an order.

"Close the city gate."

"Yes."

The accompanying soldiers hurriedly followed suit, and then Liu Rui continued.

"No further opening without His Majesty's permission."

Zhao Minghe followed Lin Huiye into the capital in a sedan chair.I haven't returned for a few years, but the capital has not changed much. The weather is still sunny, the wind is still smooth, and even the bustling noise of hawkers has not changed.

Zhao Minghe felt that if it wasn't for the mask on her face reminding herself all the time, now...she is the Yongran general of the Chi Kingdom, then she would almost think that she just went out for an expedition, and at this moment...had returned.

The envoy of the Chi Kingdom was arranged by Lin Huiye to stay in the Linglong Palace where guests were usually received on weekdays. Zhao Minghe picked the most remote room to rest and was not with Wu Lan.After Zhao Minghe stayed, no one came to look for her again, not even Lin Huiye showed up.

Goodbye Lin Huiye is the end of the dinner.This time the dinner was still held in the Ronghua Palace, but the scale was very small, with only a few high-ranking officials present. The atmosphere was tense and awkward, and it didn't ease until Lin Huiye came.

Zhao Minghe wasn't in the mood to eat, so he just stared at the dancer in front of him.However, although she wanted to maintain this posture, she couldn't hold back after all, and turned to look at Lin Huiye who was on the throne.It's just...Lin Huiye didn't look at her, but held the wine glass to himself, not sure if he was drinking.

For some reason, Zhao Minghe just felt a little cold in his heart.

I still remember before... I don't know how long ago... Lin Huiye's eyes could always find himself through the crowds, and then he never looked away.

she thinks.

Could it be that only when he is no longer Zhao Minghe can he feel how much he cares about everything Zhao Minghe once had.

With that in mind, Zhao Minghe moved his eyes to the entrance of the main hall, and then...saw a person.

The man hid in the shadows outside the temple, only his head was exposed.

However, the moment their eyes met, Zhao Minghe gasped!

That... that is clearly... yes...!

"What's the matter?" Seeing that Xizi gasped and leaned against the door of the palace, Xiaoye, who was following beside him, hurriedly asked.

"No...it's nothing...it seems to be discovered." Xizi said after a while.

"Who discovered it?" Xiaoye asked curiously. "I told you earlier that you didn't listen, His Majesty never let you come..."

"It's not His Majesty." Xizi puffed up. "Yes...it's the general."

"How? What did you see?"

"I didn't see anything! The general sat there in a dark mass, with a mask on his face." Xizi said with his heart beating violently. "But I can feel her eyes...very..."

"special?"

"Cold and sharp." Xizi recalled slowly. "It makes people... feel repelled."

"I saw...you don't get along with the general..." Xiao Yezi dragged Xizi back and said as he walked. "Although General Liu is not cold...you don't like it very much either."

"Liu Rui is shameless! Your Majesty obviously doesn't want to see her, but she's still clinging to her all the time!"

"Yes yes yes." Giving up on persuading Xizi, Xiaoye hurriedly coaxed her mother back to the palace.

Before the dinner was over, Lin Huiye left again.After a while, Chuanyi came to report that His Majesty would not come again tonight.No one in the whole table spoke, and the audience just left silently.

Zhao Minghe felt strange, but he couldn't tell what was so strange.

It was as if everyone had gotten used to Lin Huiye's sudden departure.

In the past... this person would obviously sit down from the beginning to the end.

At night, Zhao Minghe changed his clothes and was about to rest when there was a knock on the door.Zhao Minghe was startled, and quickly put on his mask to open the door.But he saw Wu Lan standing outside the door.

"It's not Lin Huiye. Disappointed?" Wu Lan laughed.

Zhao Minghe didn't bother to talk to her, he just let the woman in and sat back on the bed.

"Master Zhao was not like this when he saw me before." Wu Lanye found a chair and sat down in no hurry. "The eyes are full of conspiracy."

"Why are you looking for me so late?" Zhao Minghe said.

"Are you planning to go back to Chi Country?" Wu Lan asked straight to the point without procrastinating at night.

"Master Wu Lan, what do you mean by this?"

"Zhao Minghe, don't think that the heart-eating Gu on your body came down to play." Wu Lan said lightly. "I know your mood swings."

"Really." Zhao Minghe said carelessly.

"You want Lin Huiye to finish us here, don't you?" Wu Lan sneered. "In this way, you will never have to take revenge again."

"Master Wu Lan, our original plan was to provoke Lin Huiye to start a war."

"To provoke is to die." Wu Lan said. "Have you ever seen a provocative envoy or someone returning home?"

Zhao Minghe remained silent.

"Zhao Minghe, you understand that as long as you are still alive, you cannot put down the butcher knife to Lin Huiye." Wu Lan laughed. "To put it bluntly, no matter how much hatred you have, you still hope that external forces will stop you. Lin Jieyu can't do it...Put your hope on Lin Huiye...continuously evade, pray for death, and break away from your mission and responsibility."

"enough!"

"Not enough." Wu Lan said. "Not enough at all. Zhao Minghe, let me tell you, I have already expected this when I come with you this time. His Majesty Mingji doesn't care if she wants to completely destroy Pan Chao, she just wants to get rid of Lin Huiye. If you don't If I work hard, I can do it. Anyway, even if I miss, we will die. Lin Jieyu will follow in your footsteps..."

As Wu Lan spoke, she leaned close to Zhao Minghe's ear and said word by word.

"After all... the destruction of the Pan Dynasty is also the fate of 'Dun' without hesitation."

At night, Zhao Minghe had a dream.

She dreamed of Xiaoqi who was covered in blood, dreamed of Lingxi's undead, and dreamed of endless fire.Of course, what shocked her even more than this was that she saw Lin Jieyu in her dream.

She saw Lin Jieyu standing in front of Lin Huiye, stepping on the scarlet corpses of a large number of soldiers, holding the radiant aegis with both hands.

There was no sun or moon in the sky, and Lin Huiye stood alone in the darkness with a light breeze on his sleeves.

Gradually, the divine shield turned into a sharp sword in Lin Jieyu's hand.

She saw Lin Jieyu crying with blood and tears, raising his sword to stab Lin Huiye!

"No!!! No!!!" Screaming and sitting up on the bed, Zhao Minghe felt his head in a cold sweat.

cannot……

Lin Jieyu cannot be allowed to follow the same path as himself.

cannot……

I will kill Lin Huiye... I won't let you suffer the same pain...

I can……

I will... protect the only you in Lingxi.

such……

It can be regarded as protecting Lingxi...

Zhao Minghe hugged his head and curled up on the bed, not knowing why he was crying again.

For Lin Jieyu.

Or... for that poor self who is wandering in the torrent of fate?

The author has something to say: After writing this... Zhao Minghe, I don't want to complain about you... You scumbag who can't be more scumbag in the end...

You dote on Lin Jieyu so much only because she is the last only child of Lingxi, in order to realize your dream of protecting Lingxi since childhood! !My sister is crazy, it's just bubbles! (Audience: Hey, don't be crooked
