postscript--the past of that year

"In two days, you may be able to learn how to break the array, but you can't learn your father's 20 years of experience." Zhen Shiniang's eyelids didn't move. "It's the best choice for your father to break the battle!"

"But..."

However, my father swore in front of the Buddha nine years ago that he could not lead the army.

Moreover, it's a heavy oath with my mother's life!

The words rushed to his mouth, and Jian Wu looked straight at his mother and couldn't say anything.

"...but what is it?" Zhen Shiniang's voice was faint, and she looked at Jian Wu quietly.

Jian Wu squeezed his lips tightly.

"...Is Brother Wu worried that your father will break the oath?"

With a burst of sadness in his heart, Jian Wu stubbornly turned his head aside.

"Your father said that Prince Qi's reinforcements can reach Wuta City in five days..." Zhen Shiniang's voice slowly, and her topic turned around, "For my own life, Brother Wu will be in danger of 300,000 children, and even break the embankment to release water, causing the tens of millions of people in the State of Qi..." The Did the general do it?"

However, he has only one mother!

Moreover, he also knew that the water attack was a last resort, so he had to learn the formation from his father and lead the troops to break the battle in person.

"Mother..." Jian Wu's face turned purple, and his eyes were full of pain.

"...Didn't Mr. Gu tell you the truth that he did something and didn't do?"

In front of the stern eyes that his mother never had, Jian Wu's face turned from red to white.

Dad loves his mother. He loves his mother with his whole life. As early as nine years ago, when he was a childish child, he knew this.

Nine years ago, his father abandoned everything for his mother. Today, for the sake of the lives of 300,000 children, in order to avoid the suffering of thousands of people, he broke his vows and gave up his beloved mother... Is this what he did and did not do?

Because Ping Yan has destroyed Qi since his debut, the arrogance bred by the smooth journey has disappeared, and Jian Wu's face is as gray as paper.

"I'll be fine." Zhen Shiniang's expression slowed down. She patted her son on the shoulder. "Your father asked you to prepare well. When he broke the five elements and nine elements, he took Qidu down again."

As if his mother would be captured by impermanence the next moment, Jian Wu threw his head into his mother's arms, "Mom!"

Gently patted his son's trembling back. Zhen Shiniang sighed faintly. No matter how strong, brave and simple martial arts he is, he is just a 17-year-old teenager.

The wounded soldiers and the heavy soldiers were sent to Wuta City. The soldiers who were lightly burdened and reduced their hands one by one, and waited for the five elements and nine elements to break, and took Qidu in one breath.

It's just that it's been two nights and a day, and there is no news from Shen Zhongqi's side.

From the initial shouting to silence in the five elements and nine elements, the soldiers of the three armies of the Zhou camp were nervous one by one. In the face of Jian Wu's tight smile, it seemed that he could freeze to death, and even the prince hid far away.

Standing in front of the tent door and looking at the rising morning glow in the morning light, Zhen Shiniang became more and more uneasy.

Another day has begun. Why didn't he have any news?

I heard that he picked Greg's hundred-year-old ancient array alone, and it only took three or four hours. This time, why is it so long?

Isn't he...m not going to break the five elements and nine elements?

The wildness before Shen Zhongqi's departure flashed in front of him. That night, he wanted her to be so intense, as if he wanted to rub himself into his body, as if to vent the love of several lifetimes. Zhen Shiniang's heart suddenly had a boundless panic...

"Zhong Yu!" She raised her feet and ran to the Chinese army's tent.

"Where are you going, madam?" Lily is coming with a cup of fresh goat's milk.

After following Zhen Shiniang for many years, Baihe saw her so lost his temper for the first time. Thinking of the tense atmosphere in the two Japanese barracks, Lily's hand couldn't help shaking, "Madam!" The sad voice was frightened by the great disaster.

Zhen Shi Niang's head was clear in an instant.

What's the use of looking for Jian Wu?

Do you want to tell him that his father may not have a way to break the battle at all and let him lead the troops to save him?

If Shen Zhongqi can't break it, what can Jian Wu do?

Jian Wu has long been irritable like a trapped beast. If he can't calm down, he is afraid that he will immediately lead the troops to the battle like crazy... The lives of hundreds of thousands of horses, victory or defeat in this move, she and Jian Wu must not mess up first.

Be sure to calm down, be sure to be calm.

Before leaving, Shen Zhongqi said that if he didn't come back for two days, he would let Jian Wu think of another strategy to break the enemy. It was only two nights and one day. He would be fine. He would be fine!

She convinced herself over and over again that Zhen Shiniang took a few breaths in a row before she completely calmed down. She slowly walked back, picked up the goat's milk in the tray and took a big sip.

May be the reason for my bad mood. I am used to the taste of drinking it. At this time, I feel sad when I turn over the river in my mouth.

Dang, the cup fell to the ground and didn't have time to run to the bathroom. Zhen Shiniang bent down and vomited.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?" Lily threw the tray and rushed over.

The world turned upside down, and there was nothing in her stomach, so Zhen Shiniang took a breath.

"...The maidservant went to find General Wu!" After serving Zhen Shiniang, she washed again, helped her into the account to rest, and Lily turned around and ran out.

"Don't tell him." Zhen Shi Niang grabbed the lily and said, "I'm fine."

"Madam!" Lily shouted, seeing Zhen Shiniang's resolute attitude, and then discussed, "Why don't you invite Mr. Lu?"

Pressing his chest and nausea, Zhen Shiniang reluctantly smiled, "I'm the doctor." He also ordered, "Go and cook a bowl of porridge for me."

Lily went out, and Zhen Shiniang looked at her wrist and was stunned.

The five fingers trembled slightly, and she didn't dare to give herself a pulse.

The feeling of nausea just now was exactly the same as nine years ago... No, Shen Zhongqi's vow has been fulfilled, and her body has returned to the past, right?

She never believes this.

Nine years ago, accompanied by Shen Zhongqi, she practiced the marrow-washing meridian for two years. Coupled with the unique prescription brought by Master Yuantong from the State of Qi, the blood is miraculously cured. Although it can't be explained by the medical knowledge she knows, she doesn't think it's mysterious. Chinese Qi Just like acupuncture, many difficult diseases do not use medicine stones, and there are cases that can be cured with one injection in later generations.

However, after all, Yuantong was passed on to the divine Taoist monk. Could it be... I felt that there was another burst of sadness in my stomach, and Zhen Shiniang's body shook.

"Mother, mother..." Jian Wu's loud voice came in.

Zhen Shiniang was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly became busy.

Jian Wu stepped into the camp. Zhen Shiniang was sitting quietly at the table and playing Go, with a peaceful and quiet look. "Mother..." Jian Wu couldn't help shouting.

Zhen Shiniang raised her head.

"Mother, immediately withdraw to Wuta City with the prince." Jian Wu sat opposite her, "I contacted my eldest brother. He will pick you up in Wuta City tomorrow."

"What?"

"...I'm going to take someone to pick up my father in person." He agreed with the prince that if their father and son did not come back within three days, he would attack with water. He specially asked the soldiers to bring the kind of life jacket that his mother made. Even if he was trapped in the battle, as long as he could find his father, he could always get out of the trap when the flood washed away the five elements and nine sons.

"Have you thought of the way to break the battle?" Zhen Shi Niang's eyes lit up.

"Not yet..." Jian Wu looked gloomy.

The eyebrows hung down, and Zhen Shiniang fell the white son in her hand. "It's only now that it's still dark."

"Uncle Shi just came back, and there was no movement in the array..." Jian Wu's voice suddenly rose, and there was anxiety that he didn't even notice himself, "Dad must be trapped!" Or, there has been an accident.

He shook his head vigorously, and Jian Wu rejected this conclusion.

The fingers on the chess box trembled, and Zhen Shiniang took the opportunity to pick up a black seed. "Shihu didn't enter the battle. No one knows what's going on inside. Your father asked us to wait for two days before leaving, and we will continue to wait."

"Mother!" Jian Wuteng stood up.

If it's someone else, he may wait calmly.

However, it was his own father who was trapped!

is his own father.

Two nights and a day, life and death are uncertain.

How can he sit in the Chinese military tent and wait at ease?

"For the way of generals, Mount Tai jumps forward without changing color, and the elk travels to the left and the eyes are not instantaneous..." In those years, when Shen Zhongqi taught Jianwu and simple martial arts, Zhen Shiniang often stayed aside. Over time, she could also say a few words by the way. She looked indifferent

Jian Wu's face changed from white to red.

"Your father is experienced and will never forget the formation he has seen. He will be fine." Zhen Shiniang looked confident and calm, "It's you, the whole army is looking at you. How can you mess up first?" The voice is quiet, like a kind of peace in the spring breeze.

Jian Wu's impetuous heart suddenly calmed down.

"I'll wait until tomorrow morning." With that, Jian Wu strode out.

Zhen Shi Niang suddenly collapsed and sat down.

For a long time, she shivered and touched the teapot. The teacup touched by the teapot jingled. A cup of tea was not satisfied, but the tea flowed all over the ground. She put down the teapot, and Zhen Shinang buried her face in her trembling palms powerlessly.

"Madam, madam!" Lily's hurried voice.

After moving her body, Zhen Shi Niang slowly raised her head. I don't know when the sky had darkened, and a touch of residual sun was reflected on the table and stool through the low window. It was as red as blood. She looked at the long shadow reflected on the ground in a stun. Zhen Shiniang had a feeling that she didn

Lily has pushed the door in, "... Master Yuantong is here."

Master Yuantong?

Zhen Shiniang was slightly stunned.

What is he doing here?

Are you here to ask for the promise of that year?

"Amitabha..." Master Yuantong put his hands together, "Mrs. Shen, we meet again."

Looking at Yuantong, Zhen Shiniang flashed in front of her again that afternoon many years ago...

"The minister knows..." She looked at the bright yellow back in front of the window peacefully.

Long live suddenly turned his head and looked at her fixedly.

"You know..." Long live a long time, he said.

"So the minister has been following the teachings of Long Live, keeping her duty, and not daring to interfere in the general's government affairs over the years..." Zhen Shiniang's voice was calm and calm like an ancient spring.

She did not interfere in the internal affairs.

However, what is this? What is this?

There was an inexplicable irritability in my heart, and Long live suddenly turned his back to the window.

The air is dull and suffocating, as if a century has passed.

"Although the sunset glow is good, the sun will eventually sink in the west..." Quietly looking at the bloodthirsty sunset glow outside the window, the long live voice was empty, as if coming from the ethereal clouds, "No one can stop the law of life, old age, illness and death, and no one in the world can avoid it... Including

Yes, the sunset is infinitely good, but it's just near dusk.

Slowly raising her head, Zhen Shiniang looked at the bloody sun outside the window and was stunned.

"Mrs. Shen herself is a doctor. You should know that Master Yuantong may not be able to save you..." He calmed down and slowly turned around.

"If you are not completely sure, Master Yuantong will not come." This is the conclusion that Zhen Shiniang has been thinking about day and night.

Why?

Long live the confusion.

"A person from the Buddha family, Master Yuantong wants the general to swear that he will never talk about the army. It's just that he can't see the lives and want to stop a war on his own."

"...that's why he used a alienation plan!" Long live the tone of the year.

He didn't understand and clearly knew Master Yuantong's trick. Why did Zhen Shiniang and Shen Zhongqi still believe in him so stubbornly?

"Knowing that it is a trick, the general is stubborn and does not regret it. He is nothing more than trying to save the life of the minister's wife..." Zhen Shini's eyes were quiet, "If the minister's wife dies at the hands of Yuantong, the general will never really keep the oath. His iron hooves will definitely The sinners of Buddhism in the world.

Shen Zhongqi has always been a person who kills people. He would rather exchange the next few lives in exchange for his love for her life. If he can't get it, how can he keep his vows to be rewarded for the next life?

He is a evil star who doesn't want to be born in the afterlife at all!

Yes, after paying so much, if Zhen Shi Niang dies, how can Shen Zhongqi be willing? He will definitely become a vengeful hell demon, a violent demon. He will flatten all the Buddhist temples in the world, kill all the monks in the world, and humiliate today with blood! After listening to Zhen Shiniang's analysis, I remembered Shen Zhongqi's fierceness against the enemy. Long live the spirit of the cold war.

"The minister's wife heard that..." Zhen Shiniang picked up the information collected by Shi Hu on the table and handed it to Long live. "Before Master Yuantong came to Dazhou, he not only saw the imperial doctor Yan Qi, who had diagnosed the veins of the minister's wife, and Xu Yizhen, the magic doctor of Qiguo, who

He should have really studied her illness, otherwise he would not have come so late. Looking at the more detailed information than his secret disc in his hand, Long live five fingers trembled slightly.

Yes, Zhen Shiniang is right. As a master who looks highly, Yuantong will not be unable to understand these. Only when he saves Zhen Shinang can he keep his promise, so as to eliminate this war without blood...

It's just that in this way, who will complete his great cause of unifying the Three Kingdoms?

If Zhen Shi Niang dies, the world will be set off a bigger bloody storm by Shen Zhongqi. All he wants is unification, to make the world rise to the world, and for the people of the world to live a good life. It is by no means like this... However, take a step back. If he forces Zhen Shiniang to die now, Shen I still got the trick... I was awakened by Zhen Shiniang's words, and Long live suddenly found out.

is not a simple alienation meter.

The arrival of Master Yuantong actually forced him into a dead end.

"He is full of his mind to Buddha, and he can't bear to see the suffering of life..." Long live's voice is filled with righteous indignation, "It's hard for him to see. The emperor of the State of Yan is arrogant and luxurious, and he is violent. Even if I don't start a war, the people of Yan After planning for so long, he was unwilling to let him give up. "A war will kill people, but a war will bring long-term peace, which will make the people of the world have a long-term peace from now on. I am saving the people of Yanqi and saving the world. This is not a greater kindness!" Is it difficult to be good in this world if you don't kill?

Bullshit!

If so, won't this become a world where evil people are rampant!

Speaking of **, Long live suddenly slapped the table, and even his breathing became heavy.

Unwilling, unwilling, let him give up like this, he will not be willing to die!

I felt that the room was very quiet, and Long live also found that he had lost his temper. His voice stopped abruptly and he sat in a chair... For a moment, he seemed to be many years old.

Whether he admits it or not, in this game with Master Yuantong, no matter how he chooses, he will lose!

The defeat is clean, the defeat is complete... Watching other people's traps are there, he and Shen Zhongqi have to step in!

Suddenly, he was able to understand the vicissitudes of despair in Shen Zhongqi's eyes.

"I'm not willing to give up like this..." He looked out of the window with empty eyes.

Because Yuantong came from Yan Qi, she also specially read some secret reports of the State of Yan collected by Shen Zhongqi in the past two days. Thinking of the violence of Emperor Yan, Zhen Shinang's heart trembled.

After mediting for a long time, she resolutely raised her head.

"Long live, he refused to allow him to resign as a general, but there is no better candidate for a general." Thinking hard about the wording, Zhen Shinian said slowly, "My wife heard that because she was dissatisfied with the violence of the King of Yan*, the State of Yan complained up and down. Even if it is ten thousand years old, the State of Yan will be in chaos in time!" She changed the topic and said, "If you are willing to wait patiently for three or five years before sending troops, the minister has a plan..."

Long live, "Speak!"

......

She was unwilling to be calculated by the master Yuantong in front of her. She was even more worried that Shen Zhongqi would become an inhumane revenge evil because of her death. She sold her own son and promised that she would persuade Shen Zhongqi to teach Jane martial arts in three or five years, and then assist him as a civilian. Unify the Three Kingdoms... At that time, she didn't expect that one day they would face such a dilemma!

To the white-browed, white-browed, kind-browed Master Yuantong in front of her, Zhen Shiniang sighed.

is indeed a respected master.

It's not up to you.

I tasted the bitter fruit of that year in person, and Zhen Shiniang's eyes were full of bitterness.

"The master doesn't want to see the suffering of life. He just wants to eliminate a war without blood..." After careful consideration, Zhen Shiniang looked at Master Yuantong quietly. "Didn't the master see that Emperor Yan is arrogant and extravagant? The people of the State of Yan have long been living. Even if they don't use "

Shen Zhongqi's life and death are uncertain. Seeing that unity is in sight, she wants her family to disperse. She is not willing to!

Her voice is rarely uneven. She asked word by word, "Is it... In the eyes of the master, it is not good to calm the world and let the people of the world live a good life, but only doing good without killing?" RS
