I'm sorry
It was said that the feeling of pain was mutual.
Ji Yunshu had waited for Ji Pei for two years. She had suffered for two years.
Ji Pei had lost Ji Yunshu for two years and had suffered for two years.
At this moment, both of them were extremely sad.
Ji Yunshu lay on his thighs. Her tears flowed down her cheeks and wet Su Ziluo's robe.
"You should know that as long as you're back, everything can be in the past. Why, why did you make me wait for you for so long? Even if it's just a message from you, it's still good enough for me to know that you're still alive."
His words were blown away by the cold wind and were somewhat unclear.
Su Ziluo couldn't hear her clearly, but he knew what she said.
He stretched out his hand and gently caressed her soft hair.
So gentle!
All of a sudden, he felt as if he had returned to many years ago!
In the afternoon!
He sat on a chair with Ji Yunshu lying on his lap. The two of them talked about poetry, songs, and the philosophy of the military.
They could talk about anything!
He had said everything!
Now, it was just a different time and place.
Of course, their temperaments seemed to have changed as well.
After a long time, Su Ziluo said, "Back then, I said that one day, I would take you to the places you wanted to go, teach you how to ride a horse, teach you archery, but now, I can't do it."
She shook her head. "It's fine!"
Su Ziluo said, "If there is a chance in the future, Shu 'er, I will definitely take you away. We will go to the place you want to go, and we will never return."
Deep guilt!
Of course she remembered. She remembered that he had asked her where she wanted to go.
She said that she wanted to ride horses on the prairie, climb snow-capped mountains, and even more, she wanted to see the fire flowers at the foot of the Wolf Mountain.
I heard it was very beautiful!
At that time, the gentle and refined Ji Pei promised her everything.
She also remembered that Ji Pei's dream was to gallop through the battlefield and become a great general.
But now, he really couldn't do it.
Ji Yunshu suddenly felt a lump in her throat, and her tears flowed faster and more violently.
"Ji Pei, I'm sorry!"
Hmm?
Su Ziluo faintly sensed something.
Ji Yunshu continued to lie on his lap. "If there's a chance, I'll leave with you no matter how difficult it is. But now, I'm sorry."
After saying that, she raised her head and looked at him.
"Hurry up and leave, don't come back to the Great Lin."
"…"
Su Ziluo had already guessed it.
Not far away, there were about 30 bright torches, flickering as they moved towards them.
He heard hurried footsteps, as well as the sound of hooves …
The sound came from afar.
Ji Yunshu withdrew her gaze and slowly stood up to look at him.
"The Emperor has promised me that you and your soldiers will safely return to Qujiang. You will leave tomorrow."
"…"
Unbelievable!
He lost.
However, he was unwilling to listen to Ji Yunshu's advice.
"I've already told the truth in the case file that I handed to the emperor. My eldest brother didn't kill anyone, so I can't wrongly accuse him, and I can't kill a person because of this. That's a great injustice."
"So?"
"In fact, I've always suspected that you're Ji Pei, but I still wanted to gamble with myself."
"I'm listening. Speak."
"You didn't frame anyone but Ji Li for Yuchi Lin's death. Your motive was already very clear – you just wanted him dead. I wanted to see if my guess was right, so I had the capital governor send a case file to the palace. That case file was actually the deal I made with the emperor."
"I promised him that I could solve this murder case without returning the city, but he had to promise me that he would let you and your soldiers return safely. And the facts proved that I was right. Your motive was indeed Ji Li. You really went to the Ministry of Justice's prison and killed him in his cell. Everything you did, from the moment you killed Yuchi Lin, was just to achieve your own goal. If this matter were to be publicized, you know very well what the consequences would be."
"Even if the two countries were to go to war in the future, as a general, you killed two people to achieve your goal. Let me ask you, how would your soldiers obey you? At that time, the thirty thousand soldiers at the border would be no more than a pile of loose sand."
Su Ziluo listened attentively.
Ji Yunshu's eyes were red, but she fiercely held back her tears.
She tightened her neck and took a deep breath.
He took a deep breath and said, "You were the one who taught me these principles. Don't tell me you don't remember? You once said that the greatest danger between people, between a general and his soldiers, is not trust or distrust, but selfishness!"
He was the one who taught her all of this.
She remembered them all!
After listening to this, Su Ziluo smiled. It was a smile of relief.
It was as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart.
Extremely relaxed!
"I lost, but I accept my loss wholeheartedly."
"You didn't lose. It's just that the obsession in your heart was too strong. Whether it was revenge or loyalty to the King of Qujiang, in the end, it was all because you were too obsessed."
"Probably!"
He took a deep breath and met Ji Yunshu's gaze. He revealed the same warm smile he had when he stood under the plum blossom tree that year.
"Shu 'er, what about you? You should let go of your obsession. In fact, there's already someone in your heart. "
'Ugh!'
"It's just that you don't realize it."
Ji Yunshu lowered her eyes. Her heart trembled.
"It's impossible for me and him!" Her voice was very soft, but Su Ziluo still heard her.
"We can't go back to the past. We can only keep moving forward. It's time for you to face your true heart."
Ji Yunshu didn't answer. In fact, she didn't even have the time to respond. Dozens of torches shone over the ruined city walls.
The sound of footsteps could be heard.
Ji Li appeared in front of her.
He was holding a sword in his hand. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he approached Su Ziluo.
However, he was blocked by Ji Yunshu in the next moment.
She warned him, "The Emperor has promised me that he will be allowed to leave safely."
"Get out of my way!"
He was burning with anger.
Ji Yunshu also became unyielding. "If you dare to touch him, I guarantee that the next person to die in prison will be you."
Ji Li's words had some effect.
He now believed Ji Yunshu's words.
"Are you threatening me?" Ji Li questioned.
"Yes, I am threatening you. But if you really want to kill me, then kill both of us." He raised his chin.
Of course not!
He couldn't defy the Emperor's decree!
In the end, he put away the sword in his hand.
He looked at Su Ziluo and fiercely said, "Ji Pei, that year, your father couldn't kill me and died under my sword. You are destined to be unable to kill me. It was the same then, and it will be the same now."
Su Ziluo's lips curved. "I'm just curious. How did you survive? Obviously … "
