Sansheng

Chapter 18

The ground-to-heaven queue was led by a majestic young man on a white horse. After a horn sounded, a hundred thousand troops set off in a mighty way.

Lin Zhong climbed up to the tallest tower, letting the cold wind howl past, drying the hot tears that just flowed from his face.Since that day when the army left, they stayed there every day and night, waiting for the man to come back sooner.

After working hard all the way, for more than a month, finally the shooting star galloped to report: General Chu led the army, with thousands of sails and thousands of boats, they have crossed the Jijiang River in a mighty way!

In December, the cold moon is like a knife, wearing the stars and wearing the moon, and the battle report is spread again: General Chu led the soldiers to fight the enemy bravely, annihilating [-] enemy troops in one fell swoop, greatly defeating the spirit of the Northern Huns!

In January, the cold wind hunted, eroding bones and eroding flesh. A letter from the front: General Chu cleverly set up a series of formations and drove the enemy back dozens of kilometers to the north bank of Jijiang River.

In February, thousands of miles were covered with ice, thousands of miles of snow drifted, and the snowflakes brought good news: General Chu went to three cities in a row, invincible all the way, invincible and invincible!

While waiting for the battle report, Lin Zhong supported the city wall and looked at the long road outside the city, thinking about being alone.

Every time he saw the war horse galloping from afar, Lin Zhong seemed to have experienced life and death.

After receiving the news of the great victory, Lin Zhong was both happy and worried. He was happy that Chu Ao was safe, but worried about the next one. He didn't know how to get through it.

The hanging heart was placed on the burning oil, and it was repeatedly tormented hundreds of times, thousands of times.

Beixiong is not far from home. I can see through the long road you left.

It's cold, do you have enough clothes, are you fed and warm, how many winters and summers will this battle last?

The wind and sand are raging, and the wind whistle sounds like a ghost crying. Can you sleep peacefully? When you can't sleep, will you think of me?

Can you tell me those sweet words of yours again, laughing and cursing, can you play with me again?I know you can't come back right now, what I want is only in a dream, just once.

Day by day, Lin Zhong became thinner, his body became lighter and lighter, but the end of his gaze was always fixed on the long road.

Suddenly one day, a report came from the front. Jiang Qianming, the left deputy general of the army, led half of the soldiers, and defected to the enemy and treason!The people in the army were panicked, and the battle situation took a turn for the worse.

As soon as Lin Zhong heard this, he rushed into the palace in a hurry, knelt down and begged the emperor, and ordered Chu Ao to cross the river immediately and return to the court.

When the imperial decree spread to the front line, Chu Ao only had the crown prince Lin Zhong in his heart, and he only replied: "I don't cross the river!"

The enemy army has increased again, fighting hard for days, I can't cross the river!

Surrounded by deep siege, water and food cut off, I can't cross the river!

Horses are short of people and people are sleepy, desperate to offset, I don't cross the river!

Tens of millions of gold, coercion and temptation, I will not cross the river!

There is a huge gap between the enemy and ourselves, and we are retreating steadily, and I will not cross the river!

The right officer escaped, the soldiers broke up, and I didn't cross the river!

The plague is rampant, life is at stake, I don't cross the river!

Hand-to-hand combat, wounded by arrows, I can't cross the river!

Every battle report made Lin Zhong very anxious, and he couldn't sleep or eat.Chu Ao, is it okay for you to come back? In this battle, success or failure has nothing to do with me. I only want you to come back.

I only now understand that the one I love the most is you, I forgot to tell you, the one I love the most is you!

"Guo'er!" The voice came from the peach blossom tree, Quan Xiaguo raised his head, pink petals slowly fell from the tree, and half of the fruit fell from the tree, which happened to hit his forehead.

On the branch of a tree clustered tightly with flowers, a man in a light blue plain suit leaned leaning against the tree, looking at him and smiling.

Lin Zhong looked at the man on the tree, his blurred face became more and more clear, and he also began to laugh foolishly.

"Guo'er, do you remember who I am?"

"Chu Ao."

The man fell down from the tree and tapped his forehead, "I'm not satisfied with this answer, who is Chu Ao?"

Lin Zhong tilted his head in wonder, back and forth, up and down, looked at the person in front of him several times, and suddenly he frowned, as if he understood something, and smiled at the corner of his mouth:

"It's my favorite person."

Yes, it is the person I love the most, the one who is destined for three lives and will never leave.

After hearing that, the man finally showed a satisfied smile, as if he had obtained a kind of fulfillment, "Guo'er, with your words, my life is enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked back slowly, and no matter how Lin Zhong shouted behind him, he didn't look back.

"Chu Ao! Wait for me!"

Lin Zhong couldn't keep up, so he fell down in a hurry, got up and looked, but he couldn't find him anymore, so he burst into tears.

Our covenant is established, I will go to the covenant of three lives, but what about you?Where are you?Why did you abandon me?

A line of tears slid down the corners of his eyes, before Lin Zhong's bed collapsed, the maid gently pushed him awake,

"Your Highness, you are having a nightmare again."

Yes, I had a nightmare again. Ever since the last battle report that Chu Ao was seriously injured, I fainted in the tower and was taken back to the palace. I was restless day and night, and black and white were reversed. I can’t remember how many times I had this dream. up.

As soon as he got out of bed and stood still, he hurriedly asked the palace servants beside him, "Is there any new battle report?"

"Return to Your Highness, no."

Disappointed and sat back on the bed, tears welled up again, shouting in his heart, Chu Ao, where are you?how is it now?I want you back, come back to me quickly...

Just as she was shedding tears, she suddenly heard a shout from outside the hall: "Report!" A soldier hurried in, panting,

"His Royal Highness, in the battle of Jijiang, General Chu led his troops to fight to the death. All the soldiers fought bloody battles for three days and three nights, and finally defeated the Northern Huns. Our army has won the battle!"

"Where's Chu Ao!" Lin Zhong's blood welled up on his forehead, trembling with excitement.

"The horse is rushing to take over."

My heart was about to explode with joy. In early spring when it was warm and cold, Lin Zhong ran out of the hall wearing only his pajamas and barefoot, laughing like crazy, and ran to the place where he could see the long road first. tower.

Climbing up to the highest place, I tried my best to look at the end of the road, only to hear my own beating heartbeat.I don’t know how long I watched, but when the sun went down, no one came back. My neck was sore, my legs were weak, and I was still standing upright. My eyes were blurred. Blink for fear of missing him.

Finally, under the empty night sky, there were a few crisp sounds of horseshoes, and at the end of the long road, it seemed that there was flying dust.Lin Zhong held his breath, his whole body was about to lean out, staring there nervously.

A young man in armor was riding his horse and whipping his whip, galloping towards him like a bolt of white lightning.

"Chu Ao!" The little figure on the tower shook his hands desperately and shouted loudly.

The boy stopped, and under the scarred helmet, his long and narrow eyes showed a world-leading smile.

"Guo'er, I'm back."

Seeing his beloved Guo'er, Chu Ao's exhaustion from the hard work of the past few months disappeared. When the white horse rushed to the foot of the city, he saw Lin Zhong wearing only thin pajamas and barefoot, shivering in the wind, waiting by the roadside , I was shocked, I haven't seen him for several months, Lin Zhong has become so thin, and I feel distressed immediately.

One leaned over to catch the moon, put his fruit on the horse, held it tightly in his arms, and ran towards the palace.Lin Zhong's ear was close to his heart. Although there was an icy armor, it conveyed to him the hottest temperature in the world.

"Finally back..." Muttered in his mouth, repeating this sentence.

Carrying Lin Zhong into the hall, he hastily ordered people to lean over the stove, put him in a fur cloak, carefully covered his hands with his hands, and breathed repeatedly.But Lin Zhong didn't care about his carefulness, and just wrapped his arms around his neck like a child, letting the clothes he had just put on slip down to the ground again.

"I will never let you leave me again." Tears rolled down drop by drop.

"Guo'er, there is a sentence that has been buried in my heart for a long time, but I have never dared to tell you. Every day when life and death are uncertain in the battle of Jijiang, I regret that I didn't tell you earlier—"

Before he could speak, Lin Zhong gently covered his mouth with his hands, his face blushed, his eyes drooped and he dared not look at him,

"You don't have to say, I know what I know in my heart..."

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes, and the wet lips trembled and pressed onto Chu Ao's lips.

The moment her lips were covered, her throat tightened, and tears fell from Chu Ao's eyes, Guoer, you know my heart.
