Destiny of crossing

After the banquet, it was the busiest period in Shu Kingdom.

Fu Jian led the remnants of the pre-Qin army and put them under Xie Xuan's command, but there were some problems with Murong Chong.

Murong Chong was originally recommended by his subordinates, only for the pure blood of the Murong royal family, he became emperor for less than a year, he was not deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he didn't have any confidants, but now he is crazy again, his mind is like a child, how can anyone be willing? Listen to him?

Therefore, Xiyan unexpectedly disbanded under the leaderless group. Some were homesick, some returned home, and some defected to other countries. Only a team of less than 3000 people joined Xie Xuan's command.

However, Xiyan's disbandment also saved them trouble in the future.

As for the other small vassal states, some of them were really afraid of Shu's terrifying formation, handed over their military power early, and included them in the territory of Shu, and some of them stopped to wait and see.

As for Tuobagui, because of the long journey, there has been no movement yet.

On Yao Chang's side, he joined forces with the Huan family and planned to jointly deal with Shu.

Because the news of Sima Yao's departure has been blocked by the empress dowager in the state of Jin, and no new emperor has been established, so even though Shen Yi does not admit it, his citizens still regard him as their emperor.

But now, Shen Yi was injured and placed in the Twelve Palaces of the Shu Kingdom's Imperial Palace.

The gentle sunlight hitting his face was so comfortable that it was almost unreal, but the burst of pain in his chest told him that all this was not a dream.

He is not dead, he is still alive, and he can continue to love his Ran'er.

But the resolute face in the dream, the hatred in the eyes, so real and deep.

"Young Master Shen, Young Master Shen?"

It was a woman's soft voice.

Shen Yi slowly opened his heavy eyelids.

Princess Xunyang laughed happily: "Young Master Shen, you finally woke up and thought you..." After finishing speaking, tears rolled in his eyes, as if he was about to cry.

She helped Shen Yi up himself, and poured a glass of water for him.

Shen Yi took the water, his dry lips moved, and his hoarse voice made a broken voice: "Ran Er, where is Ran Er?"

Seeing his appearance, the master of Xunyang County felt even more sour. Even though he knew that this was not his imperial brother, he couldn't help feeling sorry for him. He held back his tears and said, "Fortune, he is in the court, since After the banquet a few days ago, things suddenly increased, and now he is busy discussing military affairs with his ministers all day long."

She paused, and then said: "Maybe in a few days, the Fa Cai Association will march in person."

Shen Yi's hand holding the cup trembled, and almost spilled a few drops: "Your Royal Conquest?"

I can't help but worry.

How are his feet suitable for long journeys?Although the formation is indeed powerful, but the battlefield is dangerous, and in the ever-changing environment, no one can be sure. If something happens, what should he do?

Seeing the worry in Shen Yi's heart, Princess Xunyang pondered for a moment: "Actually, you don't have to worry. With my brother-in-law Xie Xuan guarding him, nothing will happen."

Shen Yi gave a wry smile, his eyes that looked into the water gradually dimmed: "Yes! He has many people guarding him now—"

Then silently drank the water until it was exhausted.

The chest wound was painful, although it was not life-threatening, but it would definitely not heal in the short term.

"Princess," Shen Yi looked at her eagerly: "Can you give me a chance to stay by Ran'er's side, I want to do something for him, even if he can never forgive me, at least, I won't Let him get hurt, let me, as long as I can see him every day, see him safe and happy, that's fine."

The owner of Xunyang County shook his head: "Master Shen, I know your feelings for Fa Cai, why don't I want you to get back together, but, this kind of thing, it's not that I will give you a chance, but if Fa Cai refuses, I will How did you arrange you by his side? But if you really want to make up for her, why not fulfill him?"

,

Shen Yi was surprised: "Fulfillment?"

Princess Xunyang smiled: "Help him fulfill his long-cherished wish of unifying China."

"I can?"

Princess Xunyang looked at him firmly: "Don't forget, you are still the emperor of the Sima Dynasty."

Three days later, Shen Yi went to health with injuries.

On the fourth day, Pei Ran changed into a golden armor, rode his horse Juechen, and led [-] elite soldiers to the road of battle.

This battle is one year.

In this battle to unify China, although Pei Ran has an invincible array, the world is so big that it will take several months to march on horseback, not to mention dealing with Yao Chang and the Huan family. power.

Fortunately, Tuobagui is still trustworthy, and fortunately, the Jin Dynasty is allied with it.

No matter how powerful Yao Chang and Huan's family were, they could not resist the outflanking of several great powers and the weird Heavenly Book Formation. In the end, they could be said to be defeated. Pei Ran fulfilled what he said on the fairy platform and severed Yao Chang's head.

When compiling, Shen Yi personally presented the jade seal, bowed his head and knelt in front of Pei Ran.

From then on, the world was finally unified, but when he stood at the top of the world, on the high platform made of white jade, and saw Shen Yi kneeling in front of him, bowing his head and bowing his head as a vassal, he didn't have the slightest expectation at the beginning.

Not even a trace of happiness.

However, I still feel that it is not enough.

"Sima Yao," he said coldly, "Don't think that what you have done will move me, or that you lick my shoes with your tongue, and let me see your last sincerity."

It was originally a joke from a hothead, but who knows——

"Ran'er, you don't want me to lick your shoes, no matter how embarrassing it is, as long as you ask me, I'm willing."

Then, he saw Shen Yi lying on the ground, crawling towards him one after another, finally kneeling at his feet, sticking out his tongue, and licking carefully.

Pei Ran's body trembled, as if she had been electrocuted.

It was still stained with the blood of unknown people left on the battlefield and the mud from the trek through mountains and rivers.

But he didn't know it was dirty, he was not ashamed, he was serious, and he licked it carefully, as if he was eating a delicious ice cream, and there was even a hint of a smile on his face.

"That's enough," Pei Ran abruptly moved her foot away, and kicked him out without knowing what to do.

Then, the body slowly trembled uncontrollably.

It turned out that his heart was not hard enough, cruel enough, or decisive enough.

On the day of the grand ceremony, Pei Ran sat on the throne and received all the courtiers' worship, but on this day, Xie Xuan did not come.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, General Fuguo is seriously ill."

As soon as Pei Ran heard the news, her mind went blank, and she even forgot to order to retreat, so she rushed to Xie Xuan's residence quickly.

"Your Majesty, the general used to have a heart disease, but he didn't know how to take care of it. Now he is overworked and his heart and veins are all exhausted. I'm afraid he won't be able to recover."

"Overworked, exhausted?" Pei Ran murmured, and her trembling lips uttered hoarse words: "Overworked, overworked, why, why?"

He hugged Xie Xuan's thin body, and his ribs hurt him so much.

That warm harbor that once made him feel at ease!Why is there only a pile of skin and bones left now?

Pei Ran finally burst into tears: "Xuan, why are you so stupid, so stupid."

Xie Xuan raised that withered hand, and stroked Pei Ran's back of the head, but the hollow eyes did not diminish the original tenderness.

"Ran'er, don't blame yourself, the fate of a person is determined by the heavens, Xuanneng will accompany you here, and see that you get what you want, so you can go there with peace of mind."

"No, you said that you would stay with me for the rest of your life, and get what you want? Xuan, without you, even if I achieve the glory of my life, what am I going to do?"

Xie Xuan let out a long sigh: "Ran'er, remember, don't pretend to be yourself anymore, open your heart, face it honestly, instead of torturing yourself, it's better to accept it again! He has learned enough lessons."

Re-accept?

Pei Ran said sadly, "No, if you accept it, then what does your death matter?"

What is it!

At midnight, Xie Xuan died.

The whole room burst into tears.

As for Pei Ran, she couldn't shed a single tear anymore, she just hugged Xie Xuan's stiff body blankly, refusing to leave.

"Ran'er, take good care of mother for me."

Those were Xie Xuan's dying words.

Xie Xuan, he used his whole life to make a promise to Pei Ran.

He buried his most sincere emotions to make up for Pei Ran's lack of family affection.

There are some feelings that don't need to be told, but people will never forget them.

For some sacrifices, I never want to return, all I want is to see him, and I will live a worry-free life, so I am willing.

"I have never regretted what I have done. If life can continue, I only hope that Ran'er will not suffer any harm." Before falling ill, Xie Xuan once told his mother.

On the day Xie Xuan was buried, the three armies knelt down and the whole country mourned. Both inside and outside the palace were glaringly white.

Wearing filial piety clothes, Pei Ran knelt in front of the tomb, letting the wind and rain blow her knees for three full days.

After returning to the palace, others could only see Pei Ran's cold eyes, as if the gentle emperor had also gone with Xie Xuan's death.
