Chapter 120 Regret Jing Zai Finally
The State of Chu kept its promise and sent Jingyang, the son of Jingcha, to lead the army to the State of Zhao. The State of Qin withdrew its troops. In the same year, Jingcha died of illness at the age of 37.
As soon as Jingdi died, Song Yu, who was quite excluded, became the target of public criticism. The open gun and hidden arrows caught people off guard. The king of Chu listened to the trust, deposed Song Yu's official position, and made him leave Chen.
The withdrawal of the State of Qin was a little unexpected. In the Battle of Changping, the State of Zhao mediated with the Qin army for three years and was finally defeated. Then its vitality was greatly damaged. It is reasonable that the State of Qin should take advantage of the victory to pursue and defeat Zhao in one fell swoop. Bai Qi was still the main battle. However, King Zhao of Qin listened to Prime Minister Fan Sui's suggestion and insisted on recalling Bai Qi. Finally, he negotiated peace with the State of Zhao. The State of Zhao cut six. The city was exchanged for a moment of peace, and the discord between the generals of Qin Dynasty became more and more intense.
In September of that year, the State of Qin sent troops to attack the State of Zhao, and Bai Qi complained of illness. The king of Pingyuan repaired the book of the State of Wei, and the king of Xinling stole the tiger charm to save the State of Zhao in the midst of danger, and the State of Qin suffered heavy losses.
In the following year, the State of Qin sent several intermittent troops to attack Handan, but every time it suffered heavy losses. King Zhao of Qin ordered Fan Sui to ask Bai Qi to lead the troops several times, but Bai Qi refused.
Qiu Yao wanted to see Jingcha for the last time, so she took Qiu Zheng to find Bai Qi. However, the war was urgent in the middle, and the seven countries were fighting. The State of Qin tried desperately to take the State of Zhao. The State of Chu sent Chun Shenjun to join hands with Xin Lingjun to fight against the State of Qin. At this time, it was really not suitable for Qiu Yao and Qiu Zheng to travel.
The meeting has been delayed for two years.
It was not until she heard that Wu Anjun Bai Qi, a famous general of the State of Qin, was suddenly removed from his official position, his title was cut off, and became an ordinary soldier. Qiu Yao realized that there was not much time. She took Qiu Zheng and hurried to the State of Qin.
Qiu Yao can't forget Song Yu's eyes when she was leaving, guessing, forbearance, disappointment, helpless.
"I will bring Yichu back."
She witnessed the passing of the difference, and her heart was full of memories of the past.
She doesn't want to miss anything anymore, but she and Song Yu may not be able to go back after all.
She can get rid of her past, but Song Yu can't do it. He will leave her by her side, but they are inseparable after all.
Originally, the journey could be completed in half a month. Because of the war, it took Qiu Yao two months to reach Xianyang.
She first went to the original general's mansion, but the house had already changed owners. It took a lot of time to inquire about it. Qiu Yao knew that Bai Qi had moved to Yinmi.
It took another day to reach the dark, and Qiu Yao finally found Bai Qi's residence.
As many times before, the first person she met was Sima Jin. He was Bai Qi's confidant. Bai Qi was dismissed, and he was naturally dismissed.
Sima Jin looked at Qiu Yao with hostility. Seeing Qiu Zheng behind her, there was a trace of surprise in his eyes. Then he took the two people to the door of Bai Qi's room. There was a sound of a heavy object being angrily to the ground. Qiu Yao shook all over and knocked on the door. Then she turned back and winked at Qiu Zheng.
"Who?!" The door was opened from the inside, and Bai Qi's anger did not subside. When he saw Qiu Yao, he was stunned first, and then his face changed to a complex look. "You still know that you want to..."
"Zhanger, call me father."
"Father." Qiu Zheng shouted seriously, and then looked up at Bai Qi with his neck up.
Qiu Yao also stared at every emotional change on his face, but in two years, his temples were half white, and his whole body looked particularly thin. His cheekbones bulged out. The new beard made him look a little older than his actual age. The pair of phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, making him look a little fierce and mean.
Bai Qi looked at the half-big boy who was very similar to him. He was silent for a long time. Then he picked up Qiu Zheng, turned into the room, and closed the door again.
Now it was Qiu Yao's turn to be dumbfounded. She turned around and saw Sima Jin walking to the door of the courtyard and locking the door.
Qiu Yao frowned to ask questions, but finally she didn't say anything.
"You shouldn't come here at this time." When we had dinner together, Bai Qi said such a sentence. Even if the official is no longer there, he still exudes a kind of awe-inspiringness and arrogance of all sentient beings. I have found a few credible old departments. They are already escorting your family and Yichu on the way to the State of Chu. You can leave here as soon as possible with Zhenger.
"Let me and Zheng'er accompany you, Bai Qi." Qiu Yao gently put down the bowl and chopsticks, and her tone was indifferent but not acceptable. "This is not a compensation, but an obligation to be a wife."
Bai Qi took a meal and didn't say anything more.
That night, Sima Jin, who had always been silent, said the longest thing ever to Qiu Yao.
"I regret more than once that I brought you to the general," Sima Jin did not change his respect for Bai Qi. "If you want to come, you can come and leave. I don't know where you put the general, but I can see that the general attaches great importance to you. I can't see the right and wrong between you, but I never waver in my firmness to the general's vision. When you come here today, I still respect you as a general's wife. I just hope that no matter what happens next, you don't leave early.
"I won't leave." Qiu Yao herself didn't know how to say this sentence. She did not deny the reason why she came to see Bai Qi, partly because of compassion, but in any case, she could not show this emotion in front of Bai Qi.
She knew that such a peaceful day could not last, but she didn't expect it to be as short as ten days.
The Qin army was defeated again. The king of Qin Zhao thought of Bai Qi's previous confrontation with him and hatred in his heart, and then ordered Bai Qi to drive him out of Xianyang.
Before a hundred miles, a king's order was delivered, and the messenger offered a sword.
Qiu Yao's heart suddenly jumped, "I have a way. You can find someone close to you..."
"Do you remember what you said to me when we first met? You said that only by keeping your life can you save those people and things that are important to you." Bai Qi showed a rare calmness in the past few days. "However, there is something in this world that is far more important than life."
For example, you.
Bai Qi didn't say this sentence, but ordered the remaining confidants to leave with Qiu Yao and Qiu Zheng.
Soon Qiu Yao got the news of Bai Qi's suicide. Sima Jin was loyal to Bai Qi all his life and drew his knife the next second when Bai Qi's sword fell.
On the way back, Qiu Yao leaned in the carriage and asked Qiu Zheng in a low voice, "What did he say to you in your father's room that day?"
"He asked me not to say that I was his son," Qiu Zheng choked and swallowed his tears with a resolute face. "But he also said that I must always remember in my heart that I am the son of Bai Qi."
Qiu Yao's chest stagnated, and immediately covered her mouth and turned her face away.
In the next four years, King Qin Zhaoxiang destroyed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
In the same year, Ying Zheng was born.
Five years after another five years, King Zhaoxiang of Qin and Prince Chu Xiaowen of Qin, died three days after his reign, and King Xiang of Qin Zhuang ascended the throne.
King Qin Zhuangxiang died three years after his reign, and Ying Zheng, who was only 13 years old, ascended the throne.
Later, the State of Qin and South Korea destroyed Zhao and flooded the beam.
Wang Jian, a veteran general, led 600,000 soldiers to destroy Chu.
On the day of the fall of the State of Chu, Qiu Yao sat by the bed, holding Song Yu's hand like the hand of Jingcha in those years.
After 20 years together, she watched Song Yu become more and more depressed. He became more and more cold, and his eyebrows were full of sadness. Now he can finally be relieved. Looking at the woman who has been with him for most of his life, he is still speechless.
On the day of Song Yu's death, the city was full of wind and rain. There were many people around who came to attend the funeral. Qiu Yao walked silently in front of the queue, and behind her were two sons who had already grown up. At the beginning, Qiu Zheng squeezed his lips tightly and his eyes were red.
Maybe this is the best ending. The sky after the rain is gloomy, with rain beads hanging on the cold bamboo, gently bowing down with the breeze,
Qiu Yao suddenly remembered a poem--
You don't see, the green grass at the long gate is full of tears.
For a while, I regret not being early.
Bamboo is cultivated in the evening, and the head is white and leaning against the cold green.
