Chapter 72: Sishui Dongliu sends you away
The weather is good today and the sun is bright. It is already late autumn, and the leaves are yellow and falling. The flowers blooming on the long-lasting trees behind the Zhao Palace have also changed from peach to maple, and the flowers fall with the wind, adding a little sadness to this autumn out of thin air.
"Are you leaving?" Zhao Zi'er looked at the back of the man in front of her, with a few hopes in her eyes. Through this period of time, Gu Xiaoxiao has already occupied a lot of weight in her heart. Perhaps she didn't even notice the expectations in her eyes. What was she expecting? Is there a negative answer?
Gu Xiaoxiao did not look back, but looked at the calm water surface. The lotus flowers on the water surface had already faded, leaving only bare lotus pods and occasionally a few dead leaves floating on the water surface. "I'm leaving, you need to take care of yourself." The voice was very plain, but you could vaguely hear the depression in your tone. Zhao Zi'er's eyes flashed with a hint of loss: "Will you come back?"
"Maybe." The answer was very vague. Maybe, I can never come back, Gu Xiaoxiao said to herself. The two of them fell silent for a moment. The bleak autumn wind blew up the remaining flowers and leaves on the ground, making the silence even more sad. "I don't want you to leave!" At this time, Zhao Zi'er's voice was already filled with crying and trembling, and her eyes were blurred, and tears could not help but gushing out of her at any time.
Gu Xiaoxiao turned around, and there was no joy or sorrow in his expression: "You know, I have to go back. This is my destiny, just like you can't betray your country." Suddenly, Zhao Zi'er hugged Gu Xiaoxiao and tears burst out: "I have lost the most important person. I don't want you to disappear in front of me, please, don't leave?"
Gu Xiaoxiao was able to avoid Zhao Zi'er's "attack", but he did not let Zhao Zi'er hold himself like this, but he did not reach out to comfort Zhao Zi'er, but just said calmly: "In a person's life, there will always be many strangers appearing in front of you, and gradually becoming familiar with you, and a group of familiar people will disappear quietly. Over time, they are like strangers, and they don't know each other when they meet."
"I don't want you to gradually become this so-called stranger. I don't want you to leave." Looking at Zhao Zi'er who was crying constantly, Gu Xiaoxiao suppressed herself and suddenly used her internal force to shake Zhao Zi'er away. Zhao Zi'er fell to the ground without any hesitation. She was stunned for a moment, and only tears flowed silently across her cheeks and slid to the ground.
Gu Xiaoxiao walked to Zhao Zi'er, squatted on the ground, grabbed one of her hands with her left hand, and placed her right hand on the back of her hand and said, "Zi'er, don't be willful at this time. Even for you, I will return to the cold and ruthless Liang Kingdom. I will go back not only for myself, but for yourself, take care of myself." After saying that, he looked at the Moye God Sword reluctantly, and then handed the sword to Zhao Zi'er.
"This sword will be given to you for self-defense. Your sword technique is qualified." After that, Gu Xiaoxiao turned around and left, allowing Zhao Zi'er to grab the Moye God Sword and sit on the ground blankly.
"Brother Gu..." Zhao Qian looked at Gu Xiaoxiao for no reason. On one hand, it was a major family and country affairs, and on the other hand, it was a sister's happiness. As the fourth son of Zhao State, he knew that Gu Xiaoxiao had to return to Liang State. As Zhao Qian, he wanted Gu Xiaoxiao to stay. The contradictory idea was real and unavoidable.
The two left the Zhao Palace, got on the carriage and left the city. They were silent along the way.
On the banks of the Sishui River, Weizhuang led a pair of elite Korean soldiers to wait for a long time. In addition to Han Fei and Weizhuang, Li Bai was also here. A table, a jar of fine wine, and five cups. Weizhuang frowned when he saw Gu Xiaoxiao: "You gave up the sword in your hand." Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the rolling eastward river and said, "So what? The disciples of Guigu are not ordinary men who only show off their courage."
Hearing this, Wei Zhuang snorted coldly and stopped talking. Zhao Qian looked at Li Bai who had packed his bags and asked in confusion: "Brother Taibai, what is this?" Li Bai smiled and said to Zhao Qian: "Brother Zhao, I have been in Zhao State for a long time, and it's time to leave. I just took this opportunity to follow Brother Gu to Xiayang and have a good experience of the Liang State's style."
Hearing this, Zhao Qian clasped his fists and said to Zhao Qian with a smile, "Cousin Qian, we have been so busy with hospitality, so we must make some preparations in advance." Hearing this, Zhao Qian filled the wine, picked up one of the cups and said to the person in front of him, "In this way, for the sake of the world's plan, please drink this cup together." After that, he drank the wine in the cup. Then the rest of the people also drank the wine in the cup, just when everyone was about to say goodbye.
"Wait!" The sound of horse hooves came, and Zhao Zi'er turned over and dismounted, looking at Gu Xiaoxiao and blocked. "Zi'er, why are you here?" Zhao Qian asked as he looked at his sister, but Zhao Zi'er ignored his brother, but threw the Moye Sword directly to Gu Xiaoxiao. "I'll give you this sword, leave your life to me, don't die in Liang State!"
Gu Xiaoxiao took Mo Xie, looked at Zhao Zi'er with a serious look and said, "No one can take my life away from your hands." After hearing this, Zhao Zi'er smiled, grabbed the wine jar and drank the strong wine inside, and then looked at Gu Xiaoxiao with drunken eyes and said, "Promise me, I must come back. No matter ten or twenty years, I will be willing to wait." After that, he turned over and left directly without waiting for Gu Xiaoxiao to speak.
She was afraid that she would not hear the promise she wanted, even if she deceived herself, she always had hope in her heart.
Seeing this, Li Bai sighed and said, "The autumn wind is clear, the autumn moon is bright, the fallen leaves gather and disperse, and the crows are lingering again. When will they meet each other? At this time, it is difficult to be in love with you!
Entering my lovesickness door, I know that my lovesickness is painful, I miss you forever, and I remember you forever, and I miss you forever. If I had known this, I would not know you would have known each other before."
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxiao remained silent. After a long time, Gu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and clasped her fists and said, "Brother Zhao, say goodbye!" "Goodbye!" Li Bai also clasped his fists and said. Wei Zhuang and Han Fei also bowed and led the team away, leaving only Zhao Qian watching everyone leave.
Autumn is always a sad season. Li Bai and Gu Xiaoxiao jumped on a small boat and ran along the rolling eastward-flowing Sishui River. On the boat, Li Bai said loudly:
"The green mountains lie across the north and the white water lies around the east city.
Once this place is farewell, I will be alone and travel thousands of miles away.
The meaning of wandering children is floating in the clouds, and the relationship between old friends is set.
Wave your hand and go there, Xiaoxiao's team shouted."
"Brother Zhao, take care of me! I will see you again in the future and I will drink and have fun together!"
