Tide beat empty city

Chapter 37

Two days later, Zhan Zhao walked to the reed marsh.On a sunny day in early winter, there was an unprovoked high wind and rough waves, wrapping a large piece of reed flowers and swirling in the air, covering the sky and forming clouds, and the clouds scattered and fell into the river, suddenly melting like snow, disappearing without a trace.

He jumped on the boat and looked back, staring at the black shore and reef in the distance, the white light from the knife was like weaving, stirring up the ever-changing wind and clouds in the sky, and smiled slightly.

Such a farewell.Before leaving, he hugged Zhan Xin and kissed him, saying, Daddy is going out for a walk.

Mrs. Lu answered the call in the room and came back to drink medicine on time.

He promised to go out.Most people don't know now, but maybe someone will know.Or after a while, all the things that no one knew before will be known to everyone.Explaining is a waste of time, and so is expecting.

Jiang Feng was so powerful, he drew his sword and tried an empty move against Yashang.Resolve, echo, confront.

Since his arrival, Zhouji has been waiting at the ferry day and night.From the beginning to the end, how could he not know him to go.

The boat sailed like a arrow, and it was half drunk, and the smoke and water were so vast that it was finally out of sight.

He stood in the middle of the water, blowing the wind and waves, as if calling, Bai Yutang.

Returning to the mansion after receiving the newspaper exhibition, Yongnian stood up from his seat, the corners of his robe fluttered, and paper and pens were scattered all over the floor.He glanced back, ordered "prepare a banquet tonight", and walked out with his sleeves thrown.

He hesitated when he walked outside the door, wandered in a few times, sat down, and taught people to go and invite each other.Sitting still and thinking for a while, I went back to my living room to take a bath.

After burning the incense and putting on his clothes, Zhan Zhao was already drinking tea in the hall.Yongnian hurriedly stepped forward, held his hands and said with a smile, "It came so fast."

Zhan Zhao was noncommittal, and asked him, "Why did you call Zhan here?"

"What's the matter? Is eating a big deal? I want to have dinner with you."

"What should I do?" Zhan Zhao put down his teacup with a smile, "My lord has made up his mind, now that my wife and children are separated, I will never have a table to return."

"Who wants you to pay it back," Yongnian grabbed the corner of his clothes, with a bright smile, "It's enough for you to come back."

Zhan Zhao pushed him away, turned around and raised the sword in his hand, cutting off a corner of the table.He said coldly, "The entanglement in the past is like this. From now on, there is no room for thinking about it. I hope you will remember this sentence well."

Yongnian's face suddenly became gloomy. After thinking for a long time, he slowly asked: "Then, what about dinner? Won't you eat with me?"

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, and asked back: "My lord is still dreaming? Ever since you killed someone, you and I have gone against each other. Not to mention eating together, even sleeping together, we are still inseparable."

Yongnian waved his sleeves to shake off the teacup, his eyes glowed strangely: "Then why are you coming back? It's too cold to sleep alone? I can't bear it, so I'll help you. At least I'm not like your so-called relatives who want you to sacrifice yourself Protection." As he spoke, he felt a pain in his heart: To return to your side and be taken care of by me is actually a sacrifice for you.Zhao ah Zhao, how can you be so stupid.

Zhan Zhao Shi Shiran sat down, and said with a smile: "Help me? Help me but even smashed my teacup. I was left alone. You didn't design it out of nature? Zhan really doesn't know how to repay the prince's love. Then Come back as you wish."

Yongnian knelt down and sat down in front of him, raised his head and said: "As I wish, you always know what I wish, right. So you also know, whose life is the price, I don't care."

"So you want to say that I am the most damned person." Zhan Zhao sighed, "It turns out that, as Yutang said at the beginning, everything I did was to feed a tiger. I worked so hard, and in return you are so cruel, cold-blooded and ruthless. You have eyes but no eyes, As expected, I deserve death.”

From the moment he entered the door, he tried his best to restrain himself, but at this moment he couldn't help but tremble with anger.The hand couldn't help but let go, and the picture fell to the ground.

Unstained by thousands of years of wind and dust, the sword is white all over.Yongnian reached out to pick it up, his face burned with jealousy.Yutang made no secret of it, calling him very affectionate.

The more intimate, the more a scandal in the world.Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing wildly in my heart.No wonder you came as soon as you asked, and said nothing about sleeping and eating together without changing your face.People in the world say that they think of a gentleman, but they were actually deceived by you.Abandoning fame and reputation like shoes is not a desire, what is?

He handed the sword back into his hand, and said with a soft smile, "Zhao, take the one given to you by fifth brother. If you lose it, where is the person, and how can you find Chunmeng."

Glancing at him, he smiled again: "I said something wrong? Why do you have to be so angry? Or do you pretend to be angry, which makes me feel bad? So you still care about my reaction, Zhao."

He knelt up, tried to reach out to hug him, and comforted him: "Don't be angry. I just feel bad, even if you are pretending. Remember, you can come back to my arms from anywhere, and you won't miss nothing. Any place, do you understand? Including whoever’s pillow.”

Zhan Zhao pushed him away with a cross arm, closed his eyes and pressed his forehead, and said in a low voice, "Shameless."

"Shameless?" Yongnian pressed his knees, then sat down and looked up, "For so many years, I have only had one person in my heart, but I have never even kissed him. But to be honest now, it's shameless." Is it? Zhao, I’m not reconciled, you should teach me to live up to my name, right?”

Zhan Zhao clenched his sword hand, walked around him, got up and walked out the door.

Yongnian's voice behind him sounded unhurriedly: "Let's go. As long as you take a step out of the palace, I will kill all the servants of the princess's palace, including your servants in Xinzhou, one by one. I will do it." If you can’t do it, you might as well try it.”

You forced me.He stood in the shadow and gritted his teeth happily, watching him stop, the shadow fell to the ground sadly, in a small piece of light surrounded by the door frame.He also walked into the light, turned to face him, turned his hands behind his back and asked softly, "Aren't you leaving?"

Zhan Zhao stood up straight, as stiff as a rock frozen in the snow.

Yongnian stretched out both hands to shake him.As long as there is still warmth in his heart, can he care about who he stops for?Even if he stops because of this, he will not show any sincerity to him.Cruel joy surfaced, he smiled and said: "I'm angry. Either you draw your sword, and I will end up with me now. I'll wait. Didn't you say that I killed someone? If you have the evidence, you are willing to let it go so easily." ?”

When he said that, he caressed his fingertips, brushed his hand holding the sword, and sighed.

Zhao, whether you don’t listen or don’t believe it.I am willing to die at your hands anytime.I'm not you, always worried about the loss of the South Vietnam, turmoil in the court; I never worry about the court interfering, and hurting your relatives and relatives.

I know you are not afraid of the crime of killing the king.If you are in your heart, you really only think about yourself.

Have you thought about using the troops of Xinzhou to rise up, kill me, and then rebel against Zhao Song?You have always understood best, who is the one who suffers when disasters and killings occur.Not to mention the life and death of the innocent soldiers and civilians on both sides, between this thought; behind you, the Kaifeng mansion, the empty island, and Changzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, if you protect it to the ends of the earth, isn't it still a piece of fish on the emperor's anvil?

As for Xinzhou, it was not a gift from Zhao Zhen with a word.When you want to take it back, there is only one sentence ---,

Looking down, he saw his hands suddenly tightened, and he sighed again.

NSW, military, loved ones.You understand that what you are holding is nothing to you at this moment.

Zhao, you are alone, turning around empty-handed, you know it in your heart.This year-by-year scene is clearly a matter between two people, shouldn't you and I decide it alone?You just let them go, wouldn't it be better to leave early and return early?I promise you, if you stay, I will never regret it; if I keep you for a day, I will never implicate anyone else's wealth or life.Say, okay?

And you came here like this, even if you are silent, you have already made a promise.

As if to comfort him, he let go, his eyes touched his thin body, and his voice softened: "Zhao, don't regret it. It was right for you to come back. Hold Bai Yutang, at least your Jiangnan is preserved. Down a skyscraper , you can build two and three more; if people get lost, is there another life to fight for?"

Zhan Zhao remained expressionless, staring directly at the door.Jiu Jiu said bluntly: "If you really want to have dinner with me, where is the banquet?"

Smiling, Yongnian took his hand and led the way to the back garden.

Zhan Zhao raised his head and looked at Gaomen, silently not knowing what to think.Yongnian looked at him sideways, and said cautiously: "Zhao, how is it here? I taught someone to do it just for you."

Zhan Zhao stood still for a moment, then turned his head and smirked: "The bedroom of Tibet? What do you think Zhan is?" Without waiting for his answer, he stepped inside and sat down, and said with a smile, "It was really repaired for me?"

Yongnian stepped forward and lightly embraced him on his shoulder.Concentrating on it for a while, he sighed, "Zhao, have you ever looked carefully at how my heart treats you."

Zhan Zhao smiled and brushed his hand away.At this point, he can still be affectionate, so to speak.He slowly raised his hand and unfastened the belt of his jacket.

Yongnian took a sudden breath and froze.He clenched his hands into fists to stop the trembling.

Zhan Zhao stopped to look at him, playing with his taste: "Isn't it this body that you tried so hard to trap? It's really ridiculous."

As he spoke, he let go of his outer shirt and threw it on the ground, with a smile on his face.Candlelight flooded behind him, piercing through him, and the beautiful outline was looming.

For example, looking at the most incredible dream, Yongnian shivered intermittently, unable to tell whether it was excitement, fear, or sadness.Finally unable to take it anymore, he staggered forward and hugged him, shaking his head vaguely: "Zhao, don't, don't..."

Zhan Zhao swayed with him, lowered his head with a smile and asked, "What don't you want? Don't you like it?"

Yongnian buried himself in his chest with all his strength, still shaking his head without saying a word.

Zhan Zhao was also silent, and he hugged him without moving, his smile slowly congealed.

The body in my arms is getting colder and colder.Yongnian supported him with both hands, raised his head in panic, and saw his gray and indifferent face.

It turned out that the grief and indignation had reached the extreme, and there was such an empty tranquility.

He was anxious and afraid, and wanted to say everything at once and take out his heart.Without success, he spoke incoherently.

Zhao, when I started building this house, I really had nothing else to do. I just thought, you are busy day and night, you should have a good environment, reconcile for a while, and take care of your body, otherwise you will not be able to bear it sooner or later.After repairing it, I thought about such an empty place, who will take care of you, who will make me feel at ease.I didn't want to force you, but what do you want me to do?I'm really going crazy without you here.Bedroom, by the way, you said bedroom, Li Yi, how can Li Yi compare to you?do not worry……

Zhan Zhao trembled all over, like waking up from a dream.She struggled to shake him off, a smile appeared on her lips again.

Lord, it's better to keep some words in your heart.Say it, I'm afraid I...

Before the words were finished, he couldn't hold back the concussion of blood, and spit out a big mouthful on the ground.

Yongnian reached out to pick it up, but was dragged down and sat in a pool of blood.She lowered her head and stroked his cold lips, trembling and hugging him tightly.Like a desperate attempt to cling to eternity.

Zhao, is it cold?Give you all my temperature.

After the new year, the rain continued and the gloomy sky always made people confused.At dusk, Yongnian entered the door, covered in damp, so he came straight in without changing clothes after discussing matters.

The room was warm and warm, while Yongnian took off his outer robe, he waved his hand to signal the maid to wait outside, and then walked lightly into the inner room.

A single candle was burning on the ledge, dimly shining into the tent.Zhan Zhao leaned against the big pillow, his upper body was half up, and the brocade quilt was rolled up to his chest.The hand holding the scroll was hanging on the side of the bed, breathing lightly, making it difficult for him to notice even when he was close to him.

He stopped by the bed and looked at him.The inner garment is softly laid on the body, the collar is slightly open, exposing a small piece of skin under the neck, extending up to the chin, the bridge of the nose becomes straighter due to thinness, and the extra thick eyelashes covering the pale cheeks.

As expected, he did as he wished, staying at home, and rarely even getting up to go to the field.No matter how meticulously he took care of him, and the stream of famous doctors who were invited to the palace, he was still getting weaker and weaker, and now he couldn't even sit up for a moment.He knew what he wanted, wanted him to be angry and sad, and happy for nothing.

But even if he refuses to admit it, he must still want to get it. His way of destroying jade and stone, how can it be possible to have a happy ending, and things will come true.

But only in this way can you be willing to obediently be by my side.Yongnian looked at him, thinking radically.That's it, let's go to the grave with you all the time.Anyway, that's what you're asking for right now.

After looking at it for a while, I couldn't help stretching out my hand, along his shoulder bone, and gently stroked to the fingertips.

Zhan Zhao moved, frowned and opened his eyes.He wanted to speak, but was replaced by a cough.

Coughing hurts all over the body, and I can't stop.Yongnian quickly sat down, picked up the water cup, and slowly fed it to his mouth.

Finally stopped coughing, Zhan Zhao breathed out slowly, smiled and shook his head.It turns out that you like this kind of Zhan Zhao.

No matter what you look like, I like it.Yongnian said sincerely, gently holding his hand.

Zhan Zhao withdrew his hand and closed his eyes without saying a word.Even if he lay down every day, he felt tired, too tired to breathe.Lethargy day and night, tortured by turns of coughing and fever.Sure enough, at this point, even this body can no longer be controlled.What life and death does he care about, whether he is willing or not?

Yongnian leaned down carefully, and whispered in his ear: Zhao, don't think about it.You really don't know how to cherish your body. After all these years of loss, now you get sick.Take it slow and it will be fine.

Zhan Zhao shook his head, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips: the prince is talking to himself again.

Yongnian took his hand, pressed it lightly and said, don't be afraid.If it doesn't get better, if you really go, you won't be alone.I will teach your loved ones to be buried with you.

Zhan Zhao opened his eyes and smiled.

How considerate you are, I already know very well.Whoever will be buried with me in the future will definitely not choose the wrong person, which will disappoint me.Is it my lord.

Yongnian was speechless.After choking for a while, he looked up at the increasingly dark sky outside the window, bowed his head and said, "Zhao, the doctor said that your spleen and stomach are too weak, and you have taken too much medicine. I'm afraid your vomiting will get worse."Therefore, the prescription of medicated bath was recommended to disperse the internal symptoms.How about trying it today?

Zhan Zhao closed his eyes and didn't answer.Yongnian listened to his breathing, knew it was weak and fell asleep again.Then he got up and went out, ordering someone to prepare the bathroom for use.

For the next few days, Yongnian was still busy during the day and came in to accompany him in the evening.No matter Zhan Zhao is awake, he rarely speaks, and hardly opens his eyes.Waking up in a daze one day, seeing the long-lost light falling by the window, he cheered up and asked the maid who entered, "What time is it today?"

Seeing him speak, the maid couldn't help being happy, and hurriedly replied: "Master Hui Zhan, it's already the twelfth day of the first lunar month, and it's almost the Shangyuan Festival."

After hearing this, Zhan Zhao fell silent again, closing his eyes and thinking about when New Year's Eve will pass.I don't know it, but another year has passed.He opened his eyes and smiled at the maid: "What are you doing outside? It smells so good."

The maid panicked and said: "It's just incense. The prince has something to say, the smell is strong, so don't come close to disturb Mr. Zhan. The servants deserve to die, so I took them away."

Zhan Zhao raised his hand to stop her: "It's cold outside, let's take it in and make it. I'm fine."

The maid bowed her knees and said: "I don't dare. The white fungus porridge ordered by the prince in the morning has been kept warm. Do you have an appetite now? The servant brought it and used it anyway."

Zhan Zhao nodded: "It's so rewarding."

The maid forgot to leave and hurried out.Returning for a while, Fu Zhanzhao sat up and leaned on him, and fed him half a bowl of porridge. The maid couldn't help but smile happily: "After the first month, when the weather gets warmer, you should be cured of your illness. The servant girl looked at it, and it was better than the previous few days." There are too many."

Zhan Zhao lay down and rested, then smiled and said, "It's been hard these days."

The maid quickly shook her head: "You are better than anything else. You are such a good person, you will definitely be well."

He stepped forward to tuck the quilt for him, and said, "You rest, and call your servant if you have something to do."After picking up the plate and turning around, seeing Yongnian standing in front of him, the maid took two steps back in shock, almost smashing the bowl by mistake.

Yongnian stretched out his hand to help her, and said with a smile, "Go, don't panic."

Going to the edge of the bed and sitting down, he said softly: "You were chatting and laughing just now, but you don't even want to look at me when you see me?" He reached out to caress his forehead.

Zhan Zhao frowned and turned sideways, silent.

Yongnian sighed: "It's finally sunny today, I turned off my business and came back to accompany you, you are like this, I am so sad."

Zhan Zhao opened his eyes and looked out of the window for a while, and said, "Your Highness is just making fun of you. People who don't want to go out don't care about rain and sunshine."

Yongnian couldn't help lowering his head, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Don't worry about it, I'll accompany you." Putting his arm under his arm, he helped him sit up: "It's boring in the house all winter, do you want to go out for a walk? ? I teach people how to prepare the car, and warm it up inside.”

Zhan Zhao closed his eyes again, and said after a long time: "In the past, at this time, I always accompany Yongning, fulfilling my wish one mountain at a time. I didn't expect it to be only half a year. Although her bones are already cold, I am now..."

"Poor Xinxin, who will take care of it?" Yongnian interrupted very quickly, "Zhao, I sent someone to see her. Do you think she is doing well?"

Zhan Zhao turned his head inward.Eyes closed tightly, a tear dripped from the corner of his eye.

Yongnian stretched out his hand and gently wiped it off for him.

"No matter how well other people take care of her, they can't compare to Daddy's company. Don't you want to see her grow up, be sent by Daddy, and marry happily?"

Zhan Zhao suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils were misty like a cage of water vapor, but his eyes were clear and his smile was gentle.

"My lord wants to go out with me, just go out. What you want to do, you don't need to bother to make excuses and twists and turns. It's between you and me, and it seems that the sky is helping you. How could I not agree?"

I don't know how many layers of quilts have been spread in the carriage, and lying on it, it's like being trapped in a thick, soft and warm cloud.After he slept well, Yongnian sat beside him and asked: How about going to Tianning Temple?I remember that my sister often goes there, and the road is not far away.

Zhan Zhao nodded, his chest rose and fell slightly.He was exhausted when he got dressed and went out.Yongnian pulled up the quilt and covered it under his chin, saying to himself, it shouldn't be cold anymore.What do you think?

Zhan Zhao turned a deaf ear and seemed to have fallen asleep on the side of his head.

Yongnian touched his forehead, and sighed inaudibly.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the temple, after the guards cleared the area, Zhan Zhao was helped off the carriage and helped into the living room.Congren prepared the bedding for the couch, Yongnian arranged for him to lie on it, and sat down on the head of the bed.

Looking at him worriedly: Zhao, go back when you are tired.

Zhan Zhao shook his head, it's okay, just rest for a while, it'll be fine.

After saying a word, I felt out of breath.Ever since he went out, the breath outside the house has been bothering him, vivid and extremely stimulating, vibrating his fragile lungs and pulse.

That's the taste of being alive.Maybe he'll be overwhelmed by it, but still can't help but get close.Closed in that window, he almost forgot the hope in his chest.

Opening his eyes, he smiled at Yongnian and said in a low voice, it's good.I like.

what do you like?It's not me anyway.When Yongnian saw that smile, he was intoxicated.Reason told him they were not thinking the same thing.

He smiled, did he remember the empty valley and deep forest that belonged only to them a long time ago?

He bent down, put his hands behind his back and hugged him, and buried his tears on his chest again.

Zhao, get well and ignore me.For what, it is not worth you to fight with death.

Zhan Zhao remained silent, his face was as quiet as a wax figure, faintly emitting a clean light.

Waking up leisurely to the sound of Sanskrit singing, Zhan Zhao turned his eyes slightly, and saw Yongnian leaning against the bed, dozing off with his head on one hand.He treated him like this, and he was already physically and mentally exhausted.Desperate, who is not the case.

Thinking bluntly, there is no pain anymore.Listen carefully, the scriptures are like a string of musical notes, a sound of bells and chimes, knocking on the eardrums, and seeping into the bottom of my heart----

People in the world, father and son, brothers, husband and wife, relatives, should respect and love each other, and should not hate each other.Whether there is any communication, there is no greed.Speech and expression are always harmonious, and don't contradict each other; or when the heart is arguing, there is anger.Later generations turned the drama around, causing great grievances.Things in the world are more harmful to each other.Although it is not temporary, it is urgent to break through.

In the midst of love and lust, people die and live alone, go and come alone, suffer and enjoy themselves, and there is no substitute.

Good and evil change, chasing what is born.The roads are different, and we will meet indefinitely.Why don't you work hard to cultivate goodness when you are strong, what do you want?

If Cao Dang is well thought out, stay away from all evil.Choose the good one, and do it diligently.

Love and glory cannot be kept forever, all should be parted, there is no one to be happy.When you are diligent and diligent, you will be born in a country of peace and happiness.Wisdom and enlightenment, great merit and virtue.Don't do whatever you want, violate the scriptures and precepts, and be behind others...

At this time Yongnian woke up, heard a few words that didn't make sense, seeing him lying flat with his eyes fixed, he quickly got down on his knees and asked: Are you annoyed by the noise?

Zhan Zhao smiled, closed his eyes and said, let's go back.
