"Cough cough cough - Wen Bin - "
"Did we win? Or did we lose?"
Xu Pei's face was haggard and yellow, his eyes were dark blue, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and a gray band was tied on his forehead. Yang Si was mad at him, and Xu Pei was a sensitive and thoughtful character. After lying in bed, not only did he not get better, but it deteriorated rapidly.
The whole figure seems to be hollowed out, and it is difficult to even turn over and sit up at this moment.
He grabbed Han Yu's hand with his skinny hands, and turned to face the other side with strength, his eyes widened with desire and urgency.
Xu Pei licked his dry and cracked lips, and said hoarsely, "Wen Bin, tell me!"
Han Yu was wearing a dark blue Confucian shirt, sitting upright and kneeling beside Xu Pei's bed, his calm eyes carried a chilling heaviness.
I don't know if it was the light in the room or an illusion, Xu Pei found that Han Yu's long hair was not as black and silky as it used to be, but a little gray. Xu Pei involuntarily grabbed Han Yu's right hand and stared at his lips for a moment, expecting good news to come out of this mouth.
Han Yu was silent for a while, and the two remained silent for a long time.
Silent is better than sound.
Although Han Yu didn't say the answer, Xu Pei already understood.
"Yes, is it defeated - so it is -"
Xu Pei let go of his hand, the body lying on his side lost support, and he lay back on the bed weakly.
He stared blankly at the roof of the bedroom, Shen Ke's already weak body became even more tired, as if someone was pulling him down.
"I knew there would be today, the clinker is coming so fast, in the end, I underestimated Lanting—" Xu Pei's frowning brows eased, his expression was a little strangely calm, and he could not see the traces of the hysteria in the past few days. asked, "Are they going to attack?"
Only then did Han Yu speak, "The enemy army has already started to attack the city. The troops in the city are empty and the baggage is insufficient. I'm afraid it won't be able to keep the sunset."
Xu Pei turned his head to look at Han Yu, such a simple action seemed a bit laborious.
"Wen Bin, you and I are monarchs and ministers, there is one thing... Pei cheekily pleads, and I hope Wen Bin can think carefully..." Xu Pei gasped, his voice weak and authentic, "Zhe County has fallen into Lanting's hands, but the old and young people in the house still remain. The whereabouts are unknown, and Pei is worried... If Wen Bin still has spare energy, please take care of one or two in the future to save their lives. In this way, Pei can also smile under Jiuquan."
Han Yu looked at Xu Pei deeply, "Master—"
"No need to persuade, I know how to choose. If I surrender to Lanting, according to her temperament, I will most likely be circled and raised as an idler. As long as I don't make trouble, I will have no worries for the rest of my life, but this is not what I do. Please—" Xu Pei coughed a few more times, his calm eyes flashed scarlet blood, like a terrifying beast lurking, his eyes were firm and resolute, "Further—hehe, Xu Lingwen has the courage to fight to the death, I again How can you be greedy for life and fear death? If you try to steal your life at this moment, I am afraid that he will laugh at him to death!"
Han Yu pursed her lips, and her expression became paler, as if she had been brushed with a thick layer of white ash, revealing a dead silence.
"Here!"
Hearing Han Yu's promise, Xu Pei's yellow cheeks showed a faint blush, as if injecting a breath of vitality.
He gestured to get up, and Han Yu raised his hand to help him.
"Wen Bin, help me prepare the pen and ink, and then I will trouble you to hand over the letter from home—"
Han Yu helped him to fetch the pen and ink, Xu Pei lifted the pen with trembling fingers, the tip of the pen fell on the table with a bang, and the ink splashed several ink-colored circular stains. He gritted his teeth and picked up the pen again. Although it didn't fall off this time, the words he wrote were weak.
It's not so much a family letter, but a suicide note left by Xu Pei to his family.
There is nothing special about the content of the letter. It tells the son to study hard, and when he grows up, he will become a leader who will benefit the people of the world and the country and society. He tells the daughter not to forget the teachings of her parents and elders. He told his wife to take care of the family business. If she finds a man who suits her heart in the future, she can take away half of the family wealth and remarry, so as not to delay her years.
When Xu Pei made the last stroke, he almost used up all his strength.
Han Yu silently helped him dry the letter, put it in the lacquer, and then put it into the letter.
"You've worked hard all these years."
Xu Pei seemed to have let go of his strength and sat in front of the desk with his back hunched over, watching Han Yu take the letter into his arms.
Han Yu said, "It's not bitter."
For Han Yu, the previous experience was one attempt after another. Whether it was a victory or a defeat, it was a rare experience.
Only after falling hard now and learning a lesson can he avoid the same pit in the future.
Xu Pei's lips moved, and his dry eyes seemed to be filled with tears, but he didn't say a word for a long time.
The bright sun in the sky has begun to tilt westward, Xu Pei said silently, "Wen Bin, go down, I want to be alone for a while."
Han Yu stood up silently, walked to the door and stopped.
"Xinzhao still remembers what did you promise when you and I talked about the general trend of the world and directly expressed our minds when we first met in Shuixie?"
Xu Pei was stunned for a moment, but his dull mind didn't react immediately.
He spent a lot of time rummaging through that memory, but he was not sure, "Are you looking at the beautiful mountains and rivers together?"
Han Yu said without looking back, "Xin Zhao still remembers, but now he wants to break his promise?"
"Please, Wen Bin, give me a second look." Xu Pei said with a wry smile, "If Lanting ascends the throne, remember to come to my grave and let me know."
If he loses to such a person, he will not die unjustly.
Although Xu Pei came from an aristocratic family, he also wanted peace in the world, and now I'm afraid he won't be able to see it.
Han Yu's eyes dimmed by two points.
"it is good."
Not long after Han Yu left, he met Cheng Xun with blood on his clothes.
"What about your lord?"
Han Yu said, "In the house."
Cheng Xun looked Han Yu up and down, and suddenly understood everything.
"Why don't you persuade the lord to break through?" Cheng Xun gritted his back molars and said angrily, "Han Wenbin, I respected you, but now I look blind. I don't do my best for my lord, but in times of crisis, I am blind. If you want to let go, where do you put your master by doing this?"
Han Yu said, "I have tried my best."
The last hole card was also revealed, and in the end, he still failed to kill Liu Xi, and the defeat was set.
Cheng Xun's anger continued to grow. Seeing Han Yu's indifferent reaction, he became more and more angry, and he scolded, "If you humiliate your subjects and die, you will also die. You Han Yu are greedy for life and fear death? The enemy has not yet invaded the city. You have already thought out all the ways out, trying to use us to flatter the willow thief and ask for credit?"
Han Yu turned his eyes to Cheng Xun indifferently.
"The floating name is originally an external thing, and I don't need to care what others say. You think I am a person who is greedy for life and fears death, and I have nothing to say."
Cheng Xun's fingers trembled in anger.
"You have the trust of the lord!"
Han Yu said, "It's good to be worthy of my heart, I have no regrets."
