Difficulty in deciphering

Snowflakes fell quietly from the night sky, and Lin Huiye repeatedly looked at the wish on the note by the colorful light of the ice lamp.She saw that although the font was domineering, the wish was indescribably bleak.

I hope, all of this, from beginning to end...is just a dream.

That person... wrote it like this.

"Dream..." Lin Huiye repeated the word shallowly, and actually laughed softly. "Hahahaha... dream..."

"Hui Ye?" Seeing that Lin Huiye was holding the note tightly in his palm, Lin Jieyu asked worriedly.

"It's not in the way, it's just that this wish is a bit funny." Hearing Lin Jieyu's call, Lin Huiye waved at her, suppressing his smile.She took the lantern and writing brush from the peddler, wrote a few words, and put them back into the new lantern.The peddler listened to Lin Huiye's soft voice. "Please put it back up, please."

"Okay!" The peddler happily took the banknote and the lantern, and hung Lin Huiye's lantern on it in a blink of an eye.

"Is it the wish about the dream?" Lin Jieyu asked as the two walked.

"En." Lin Huiye replied, then turned to look at Lin Jieyu and said. "Aren't you going to hang a lantern?"

"The minister will not hang up." Lin Jieyu said with a smile.

"Why?" Lin Huiye asked.

"Because..." Lin Jieyu pondered for a while, but he still couldn't come up with a reason.

Lin Huiye saw that she was embarrassed to answer, so he didn't force her, and then looked at the ice lantern beside him.Lin Jieyu quietly followed behind her, only feeling that his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say after all.

"Xieyu, come and look at this ice lantern, can you see what it is?"

Just when Lin Jieyu's mind went blank, Lin Huiye's call suddenly sounded in her ears, and she raised her head and walked quickly towards Lin Huiye.

"Is it... a lotus?" Lin Jieyu observed carefully.

"Well, it's a lotus. It's really great to see such a beautiful lotus ice sculpture here..."

Lin Jieyu just stood there, listening to Lin Huiye's voice drifting away.

she wants to say...

I really want to say...

because……

I want to go back and take down your lantern...

Is it possible?

By the time the two got on the carriage for the return journey, it was already late at night, and the ice lantern festival was over.Lin Jieyu leaned in the carriage, opened the curtain and looked at the falling snow outside the window in a trance.

She... After all, she still couldn't go back and take down Lin Huiye's lantern.

Lin Jieyu thought, if someone wants to ask her about any regrets in her life in the future, then... there must be only one.

Kaguya... what will he write?

Guotai Minan?

Zhao Minghe's response?

Or... about... about myself...

Just thinking about it, Lin Jieyu smiled.Laughing at the last one I thought.She thought...what an absurd imagination this is, and she...actually expected it.

Snowflakes fluttered in the dark night, endlessly.Lin Jieyu just watched the falling snow petals, and finally fell asleep.

Lin Huiye sat beside Lin Jieyu, looked sideways at her sleeping face, and suddenly felt that this person was about to melt into the snow and ice that filled the sky.She didn't know why she felt cold, and she went over and grabbed Lin Jieyu's arm.

"Your Majesty?" Awakened by Lin Huiye's sudden movement, Lin Jieyu opened his eyes and saw Lin Huiye's cold eyes.However, after realizing that Lin Jieyu had woken up, those cold eyes suddenly softened.

Lin Jieyu listened to her.

"Next year, how about watching the ice lantern together?"

"Yes." Hearing Lin Huiye's invitation, Lin Jieyu replied.She stretched out her hand to hold Lin Huiye's hand that was holding her arm, as if comforting a restless child, and said gently. "We'll watch it together every year from now on."

Lin Huiye didn't answer her, but gradually let go of Lin Jieyu's hand, but Lin Jieyu didn't let go.Like Lin Huiye, she leaned her head up in the carriage and murmured.

"Your Majesty, as long as I think about staying with Your Majesty for many, many years... I feel... I am so happy."

"Even if you are always on the verge of life and death, do you still feel happy?" Lin Huiye smiled and asked in a low voice.

"En, happiness." Lin Jieyu replied without hesitation. "Your Majesty... is the meaning of my existence..."

"I... am always in the darkness, the darkness is extremely powerful and unfathomable. I struggle every moment...but...but I can't get salvation... I don't know when I will be caught by the darkness Swallowed...so...not sure if owning for many years to splurge."

"Your Majesty will have a peaceful and prosperous world, and will be happy for a long time." Lin Jieyu listened quietly, and then her eyes gradually froze as she said softly. "I will protect you from being swallowed by darkness, and will also protect your peaceful and prosperous world. For sure."

Later, he told Lin Jieyu what Lin Huiye didn't remember.She only remembered that that night...the road back to the palace was very long.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill--!!!"

Outside Longshui City, the sun was shining brightly, and the sound of killing was loud.

Zhao Minghe lay leisurely in the soft sedan chair, drinking tea while looking at the city wall.

Sure enough, after a while, a soldier ran down from the top of the city wall.

"General, sure enough... Someone has reported it." The guard beside her obviously also saw the movement of that person, and said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, let them discuss it for a while." Zhao Minghe seemed to be in a good mood and replied with a smile.

"General Daye! Zhao... Zhao Minghe's army has surrounded us! Now... we... we can't even crawl out of the ants!"

Ever since he knew that Zhao Minghe was leading the army this time, Daye has been restless.Although he has always dismissed the rumors about Zhao Minghe, but...until this moment, that restless emotion can no longer be suppressed.

Zhao Minghe's offensive was faster and more violent than he expected!In just three months, this woman has regained the lost land on the edge of Longshui, and the sword pointed directly at Longshui City!

"Idiot!" After hearing the news, Daye shouted, smashing the wooden table beside him with his palm. "Zhao Minghe was still in Zhouwu Town yesterday! How could it be possible to reach Longshui this morning! That ten thousand tons of grain...is it just a waste of money for them!"

"It's rumored that Zhao Minghe has a heavenly soldier..." The messenger soldier obviously lost his momentum, trembling.

"You goddamn heavenly soldier! Zhao Minghe is also human... and... a woman..." Daye said angrily, wanting to bite his teeth into pieces. "How can I, the Ningsha clan, be frightened into such a state by a woman!"

"But... but where Zhao Minghe passed... no prisoners were left... the death conditions were worse than when our army attacked the city... if we lose... also... we will be killed by her ...!"

"What by her?" Daye narrowed his eyes, and the soldier saw that their coach had a dangerous aura, so he didn't dare to say any more. "Soldiers who are afraid of death should not go to the battlefield in the first place. Whoever is afraid of death, I will kill him first!! Keep Takishui for me!! If you can't hold it, use your own blood to pay homage to Ningsha!!! !"

"Yes!!!"

Since that day, two more days have passed.In the afternoon, Zhao Minghe stood in the camp watching the city wall, and did not return to the tent until night fell.However, as soon as she lay down, there was a small and familiar voice.

"Minghe, are you asleep?"

"Didn't sleep, come in."

"I heard from the guards that Daye is almost unable to hold on." The person outside the tent walked in, thin and thin, but extremely agile.

"It's okay if you can't hold on anymore." Knowing that this person would care about Daye's situation as soon as he came back, Zhao Minghe laughed. "The day he can't hold on is when we attack the city."

"Sure enough, the Ningsha clan only has an advantage in size." Xiao Qi also laughed. "As long as you pass it on a little bit, they will believe that you have the blessing of the heavenly soldiers and generals."

"If I had the Heavenly Soldiers, wouldn't I be able to kill them with a snap of my fingers, and I have to wait until now?" Zhao Minghe sneered.

"Fortunately, we are fast, and we will surround the city with food and grass in a day, otherwise...it will take a lot of time to capture this Longshui City."

"If he wants food and grass, open the city gate, and I will send him in personally." Zhao Minghe raised his eyebrows and said. "If you don't want it, just starve to death inside."

"Minghe... why don't I sneak into the city once to stabilize the hearts of the people?" Hearing the word "starved to death", Xiao Qi worried. "There will be no food and grass for a long time, and the people will be uneasy. If the time comes..."

"It doesn't matter. It's not safe for you to go." Zhao Minghe said with cold eyes. "Again... I think... Daye won't last that long."

"Yeah." Hearing what Zhao Minghe said, Xiao Qi smiled.

"Is it tiring for you to stay in Zhou Wu Town to replace me?" Seeing a smile on the child's thin face, Zhao Minghe raised his hand to cover her head, and said softly.

"Not tired." Xiao Qi rubbed against Zhao Minghe's palm. "Let me replace you, I have some..."

"Some what?"

"They haven't seen your appearance, but I have seen... Our General Zhao is so heroic, how can he be born with my appearance?" Xiao Qi smiled wryly.

"What do you look like?" Hearing what Xiao Qi said, Zhao Minghe raised his eyebrows, looked at her carefully, and said. "It also looks like a general. It is extremely sharp, and it is the sharpest sword I have."

"My Lingxi's sharpest sword..." Xiao Qi wanted to say with a smile, but found that tears had already flowed down his face.She stubbornly sat there, letting the tears crisscross her face. "It's...it's you."

"Don't cry." Zhao Minghe got up and walked to her side, took her into his arms, and said in a cold voice. "Where Lingxi is owed, I will get it back exactly."

Half a month later, Longshui City ran out of food, and Daye was at the end of his rope.

Xiao Qi saw that Zhao Minghe rode his horse alone and moved slowly towards the city wall during the confrontation between the two armies, and his heart tightened for a moment.

"Minghe! If you go any further, you will be within their shooting range! You will die!"

However, Zhao Minghe just made a "stop" gesture backwards, and then walked straight to the bottom of Longshui's city wall.

Sure enough, as Xiao Qi expected, as soon as Zhao Minghe was within range, there were overwhelming arrow feathers shooting at her!However, in just a split second, the rain of arrows was reduced to ashes by Zhao Minghe's Fierce Sword.

Everyone saw Zhao Minghe raised his head with red eyes, looked at the soldiers holding arrows on the city wall, and smiled.

"Tell General Daye that Minghe has something to see, please lower the ladder and let Minghe in alone."
