Qi Cheng sat in the study room with bright lights, carefully studying the situation of the Xiangbei Army led by Qin Yu, which he had obtained, by the candlelight.
The surrounding environment was very quiet, only the slight rustling sound of him turning over the paper, and the crackling sound of the candle flame bursting could be heard.
At this moment of incomparable silence, Qi Cheng seemed to hear a familiar rhythm, as if his deceased wife was whispering in his ear, or as if she was mourning for him.
Qi Cheng's hands trembled suddenly, his heart felt like the surface of a lake being blown up by a strong wind, and he couldn't calm down anymore.
In his early years, he was full of youthful spirit and pride, and always wanted to win meritorious deeds that could be passed down through the ages.
After marrying his childhood sweetheart, the next day, regardless of his sweetheart's pity and persuasion, without even a moment of tenderness left, he accepted the imperial decree and went to war.
Three years later, he finally got the fame he was satisfied with, but at the same time he also received news that his new wife, whom he had not seen for several years, was seriously ill. Although he rushed back to Bianjing non-stop, he didn't even see her for the last time.
Only then did he realize that no amount of merit could compare to the smile left in his memory by the person he liked, but everything was irreparable. Discouraged, Qi Sheng handed back his military power directly at the Golden Luan Hall, and then resigned from the position he had just obtained as the General of Zhengbei University, and went to live in seclusion.
If it hadn't been for the empress dowager Jing Chun who had saved his life before, he would not have put on armor again.
At this time, he heard again the guzheng piece that his late wife liked to play for him during his lifetime. It was like an invisible hand peeling off the once bloody wound again, which made him feel heartbroken and uncontrollable anger.
Who, exactly, dared to play this piece? !
Qi Cheng hurriedly stood up, and walked out of the room impetuously, looking for the direction where the faint melody came from, walking over step by step with a gloomy expression.

Li Luo lay on the couch inside the commander's tent with his eyes open, listening to the more weeping melody coming from outside, feeling his heart and eardrums heaving up and down with the melody. Fu, it's the rhythm of wanting to vomit blood.
A good Fengqiuhuang can be played like this, and he also knelt down to Li Ruian who played this piece.
It has been playing back and forth like this for three or four nights, and Li Luo feels that the stereo loop sound of this song will start to surround him in his sleep, it is simply very scary.
If he couldn't force Qi Cheng, who was already enraged, to come out, he felt that he might suddenly sleepwalk at some point, rise up, and knock the culprit Li Ruian unconscious with a single brick.
"What's the matter, Mu Cheng, can't you sleep?" Qin Yu who was lying beside Li Luo asked.
"It's okay, I just feel a little noisy." Li Luo complained in his heart while talking, not only noisy, but also a sonic killer. However, he also understood that this was the only way to deal with Qi Sheng, so he didn't show any complaints.
Only by motivating Qi Cheng to the unbearable, can this protracted war be ended as soon as possible.
"Be patient, you won't have to listen any more soon." Qin Yu stretched out his hands to cover Li Luo's ears, and asked softly, "Is this better?"
When Qin Yu's hand covered his face, Li Luo immediately felt an inexplicable tingling sensation, followed by a feeling of embarrassment in his heart.
He's not a girl, so it's really strange for Qin Yu to take care of her so meticulously. He quickly separated Qin Yu's hand, and said with a flushed face, "Yu, you don't have to treat me like this, I'm not that fragile."
Qin Yu also seemed to feel that his actions were overstepping. He quickly withdrew his hand and paused for a while before whispering, "I don't think you are weak, but I just want to do my best to treat you well. Except I have already After the death of my father and mother, the most important person to me is you, Mu Cheng, do you understand?"
Li Luo was speechless immediately, he faintly felt that his actions just now seemed to have hurt Qin Yu's heart. If there is a person who can take care of you in every possible way, but you always dislike him for taking care of you, which is not what you want, this is really unsatisfactory.
The embarrassing feeling just now disappeared without a trace, and then a trace of guilt for what he just did surged in his heart. Li Luo hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out his arms to wrap around Qin Yu's body, just like when Qin Yu was lying with him when he was still young and remembered when his parents were sad.
Qin Yu turned his back to Li Luo, did not speak, but stretched out his hands to press Li Luo's slender, slender hands with clear bones surrounding his chest, a pair of black eyes flashed a gentle and nostalgic look look.
Li Luo put his whole body on Qin Yu's body to be able to hold Qin Yu comfortably, and now he has no time to think about the disturbing piano sound outside, so he fell asleep very quickly without knowing it.
Qin Yu felt that the arms hugging him had lost all strength, and immediately realized that Li Luo behind him was asleep. He chuckled lightly, turned around gently, stared at Li Luo's peaceful sleeping face for a long time, couldn't help turning his head, kissed Li Luo's lips, then turned his arms around Li Luo's waist, He pressed it into his arms, as if he was holding a unparalleled baby in his arms, and fell asleep carefully.

Qi Cheng hadn't fallen asleep for almost seven days. There were dark circles under his eyes, and he looked very depressed.
The half of the hair that had already turned white was now even more white.
He sat at the table with a dark complexion, ate a bowl of rice without any taste, then threw the bowl on the ground, and walked out of the room full of anger. All the servants who met him along the way were so frightened that they even forgot to salute. They all lowered their heads with pale faces, and dared not take a breath until he passed by.
Qi Cheng walked into the meeting hall with a dark face all the time, and his face only slightly improved, but it was still very scary. He was originally a famous figure who broke out from the sea of corpses and flames, and the hostility on his body was a bit heavy, but now that he doesn't control it, he looks even more frightening.
Qi Cheng is not going to bear it anymore, this battle will have to be fought sooner or later, since Qin Yu is urging him to show up, then he must give Qin Yu a lesson that he can remember for the rest of his life!
Qi Cheng's eyes were red, like a trapped animal that was thoroughly enraged, sharpening its sharp claws, ready to rush up and tear him to pieces as soon as it saw the enemy.
At the same time, the Xiangbei Army has long been ready for the battle, and the soldiers have already checked and polished their weapons over and over again. Just wait for the news of the war to come, and be able to go into battle as quickly as possible, and win a piece of merit for yourself.
The tense atmosphere of the war has silently permeated, just waiting for the opportunity to ignite the fuse, detonating the battle that has been suppressed for a long time.
And this opportunity is about to come quietly.
