213 stay

Su Zige smiled faintly when he heard the words, and then took out a letter from his sleeve and gave it to Bai Xijing, "A letter from Wang Cheng."

Baixi nodded and read the letter. At the end, Bai Xijing's beautiful face finally had the reassurance and joy that he had not seen in half a month: "My brother is fine. I'm finally relieved."

"Well, the king has set out from Wangcheng, and he should be in Ningcheng in half a month, so..." Su Zige's voice suddenly paused, and his eyes became deeper. "So, princess, let's leave Ningcheng tomorrow."

Bai Xijing was suddenly stunned when she heard the words, as if she didn't expect Su Zige to say so. She bit her lower lip and then slowly raised her head and said, "Is it... is he coming?"

Su Zige's eyes flashed slightly. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Well, although the detectives sent out can't find out the exact news, it is because of this that I dare to judge that he... Ye Lin is coming." In the end, Su Zige sighed slowly, and his eyes became deeper and deeper. "Here will soon... So, princess, leave Ningcheng and find a place to live in seclusion..."

"I don't want it." Before Su Zige finished his words, Bai Xijing decisively interrupted Su Zige's words.

"Princess?"

"Zige, since he is coming, I can't leave." Bai Xijing's face was grim.

"The king has come from the royal city, and it is only dangerous for the princess to stay here."

"So what about Ningcheng before the king's arrival? And what if it's not Wang who arrives first, but Ye Lin? Zige, I know it's for my own good, but you want me to escape alone. I'm sorry, I can't do it. At least this time, let me accompany Bai Guo to the last moment. Bai Xijing's voice was very low, as if she thought of something. Her expression inexplicably brought a trace of vicissitudes that did not meet her age.

Su Zige didn't notice the meaning of "this time" in Bai Xijing's words, but frowned slightly and said, "Princess, do you know what it means if Ye Lin arrives in Ningcheng? Even so, will you still stay?"

"Yes." Bai Xijing nodded solemnly and responded.

"What about your dream?" Su Zige's eyes were stained with a trace of helplessness and sadness. He still remembers that half a month ago, Bai Xijing said gently, "When everything is over, he and I want to find a beautiful place to live in seclusion."

At that time, the corners of her lips were soft, with a gentle and beautiful smile on her face, and her eyes were as bright as stars.

But now she insists on staying in Ningcheng. Although they have never said it clearly, everyone knows what the final outcome of the people who stay here will be. Perhaps they can no longer get out of this city and can no longer realize their dreams. Even so, will she choose to stay?

Su Zi looked at Bai Xijing fixedly, but for a moment he couldn't figure out how Bai Xijing would answer him.

After a long time, Su Zige saw Bai Xijing slowly raising his head slightly, with his eyes as clear as frost, using a cold voice that did not belong to her usual, but said in a low, solemn and proud way: "If the king doesn't come one day, I will be the king!" The king should be with the society, how can he leave the society?

Needless to say, her determination has been made.

Su Zige looked at Bai Xijing and knew that it was useless for him to say more, so he did not speak any more. He just stood side by side on the tower and looked at the scenery outside the tower. Neither of them spoke again, but such silence was inexplicably peaceful.

Bai Xijing didn't know how long they had stood. It was not until the soldiers on the tower who shouted "It's snowed, the first snow of the year" that Bai Xijing came to his senses. Looking intently, there were snowflakes like willows floating in the bright white sky. Bai Xijing subconsciously stretched out his hand, and a snowflake fell on her palm leisurely, and then slowly melted into a drop of water, and then disappeared.

"It's snowing." Bai Xijing narrowed his eyes slightly and then sighed a long sigh.

"Why does the princess sigh?" Su Zige turned his head puzzled and asked, but he didn't expect to see Bai Xijing staring at the flying snow all over the sky in a daze, and the expression on his face seemed to be three-point sweet, helpless and four-point empty.

Su Zige thought that Bai Xijing, who was stunned, did not hear his question, but he didn't expect Bai Xijing to suddenly answer his question. She said, "Because for me, snowy days are special."

Su Zige raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not ask again.

It took Bai Xijing a long time to smile gently, but the smile was a little bitter. She turned around and whispered, "Zige, can you lend me an oil paper umbrella? I want to walk alone."

Su Zige took a deep look at Bai Xijing, then nodded and ordered a warrior to take an oil paper umbrella and give it to Bai Xijing. Bai Xijing smiled faintly at Su Zige, and then walked down the tower with an oil paper umbrella. The back seems to be a little lonely.

——*——————*————*————

Three days of heavy snow, the whole Ningcheng has long been covered in silver and turned white. And such a snowy day will inexplicably make people feel particularly peaceful, especially in such a late night.

I don't know when a remnant moon rose in the sky, and the cold afterglow covered the white snow, setting off the night more and more quiet.

At this moment, there was a regular sound of horses' hoofs in the distance, and the sound was sonorous and powerful, as if to crush the ground fiercely. The corners of the four directions sounded endlessly, sounding sharp and sad. What suddenly happened tore the remaining silence to pieces.

Bai Xijing only felt that his heart was tight. He hurriedly changed his clothes and pushed the door to look in the direction of the tower, but what he didn't want to see was bright red. The firelight seemed to burn through the remnant moon in the sky to overturn everything, and sadly reflected the night like day.

After the hurried people in the city master's mansion noticed Bai Xijing, they quickly stepped forward and said nervously, "Your Majesty, King Ye has been in the city. We..."

"Where is General Su?" Bai Xijing said calmly.

"It's on the tower."

Bai Xijing glanced at the man and said, "Don't panic, add jokes. Just do what General Su told you.

"Yes."

Bai Xijing took a deep breath and walked towards the tower. No one could hear her whisper: "Is this day finally coming...?"
