King Liu of Song Dynasty walked down the bluestone platform of Yilan Shu Palace. Behind him was the sky filled with fire and thick smoke.

King Qiao Yun of Pingchang of the Song Dynasty, General Lu Hui of the Xiaoxiao Camp, and Ling Fei, the close bodyguard of the King of Song, were going down the mountain with Liu. They planned to return to the Song Dynasty immediately and lead the troops to take back the Jade Capital. They saw a woman in black with her hair tied in a bun.

Wearing a long red ribbon embroidered with Sichuan, she ran up the mountain in the dust. There was only one Yilan Mountain Road, and the woman met the four of them on the narrow road at the foot of the mountain.

The woman stopped and looked up at the fire at the top of Yilan Mountain.

Liu saw the flames reflected in her eyes, burning away all the warmth and trust that had ever existed between them.

Liu stopped and said sadly: "Shu'er..."

Shu'er, a few days ago, Sun Kuo of Qi State, your former lieutenant general, said that I was the best lobbyist among all the countries in the Nine Provinces... But now you are standing in front of me, and I don't know what else to say to you.

Shu'er's eyes were still filled with flames, and she turned to look at Liu and asked word by word: "His Royal Highness, King Song, where is my husband? Where is my adoptive father?"

Liu calmly said: "There is nothing hidden between you and me. Zhuge jumped off the cliff of Jueshi Peak calmly. I lured him with my life and threatened him with the life and death of thirty thousand Qi troops. In order to save him, King Wei also fell

The cliff. I didn’t expect King Wei to fall off the cliff, but Zhuge Rongrong’s death was indeed my Liu’s plan.”

Without thinking, Shu'er quickly pulled out the diamond-engraved plum hairpin from her bun, used the hairpin as a sword, pointed it at Liu's heart, and rushed towards Liu.

At that moment, Ling Fei, the close bodyguard of King Song, suddenly forgot to draw his sword to block it, and the scene from sixteen years ago could not help but appear in front of his eyes.

By the lotus pond of the White Jade Palace, Xiao Lingfei, who had just been on duty, saluted Xiao Liu's sister and said, "Lingfei has met the princess."

The little princess of Song State smiled and asked: "Brother Ling, if I bully my brother, who will you help?"

Xiao Lingfei answered very quickly: "Of course I am helping His Highness."

The little princess nodded with satisfaction, but Xiao Liu said: "That's wrong. If she wants to bully me, just let her bully me and don't help anyone."

Xiao Lingfei said in confusion: "But I am His Highness's personal bodyguard..."

Xiao Liu said: "Even if my sister wants to kill me, you don't need to stop her."

The little princess said to Ling Fei: "Don't be fooled by my brother. It's already good if he doesn't bully me! How can I have the chance to bully him? And how can I kill him?"

…

The scene from the past was vivid in my mind, as if it was yesterday. Ling Fei's hand was still holding the unsheathed sword, but he saw Lu Hui and Qiao Yun taking action at the same time. Lu Hui repeatedly used the sword to block Shu'er's attacks.

Yu Chai, Qiao Yun struck Shu'er's chest with her palm.

Shu'er didn't dodge, he just stabbed Liu with all his heart.

The Qiu Shui Sword Technique of Qi State is best suited for close combat. Shu'er did not look at Liu's face, but silently recited the Qiu Shui Sword Technique in his heart.

The wind is high and the northern geese are flying, and the autumn water is growing more smoke.

Eighteen moves of the sword, each move moves further forward.

Pointing at Shen Ting in vain, piercing Adam's apple with a dagger.

Push the canopy gently with your hand, and press firmly on the Tanzhong xue.

The internal energy sinks into the sea of ​​qi and does not move down to the Dantian.

Sharp weapons cut people off, blunt weapons penetrate the soul.

He penetrated Tianzong in one step and hit the soul gate with his palm.

Break off the elbow to break the patio, capture the hand to capture the Yangchi.

The lower plate stabs the lying rabbit, and the iron kick kicks the hanging bell.

A small step tramples the stream, and a large foot falls into the valley.

The sword searches for the five internal organs, and the palm splits the six internal organs.

…

Although Liu was carrying the king's sword at his waist, his hand never touched the hilt. He yelled, "Stop!" while striding forward, forcefully pulling Lu Hui and Qiao Yun behind him, one on the left and the other on the right.

At this time, Shu'er jumped up and the plum jade hairpin pierced Liu's chest.

Lu Hui saw this and pushed Shu'er with a palm. Shu'er held the jade hairpin in his hand and when he stepped back, the jade hairpin had been pulled out from Liu's chest.

The mountain road was narrow, and Shu'er's feet slipped and he was about to fall down the valley. Liu Baiyi was bleeding, but he didn't feel the pain, so he immediately pulled Shu'er up and took him into his arms.

Shu'er still held tightly the engagement gift from the Qi Wei Marriage Alliance, pointing the sharp jade hairpin straight at Liu's throat.

The two looked at each other, Shu'er's eyes were filled with tears, but Liu's eyes were filled with only tenderness.

The jade hairpin trembled in Shu'er's hand. Liu put his hand around her waist, smiled comfortably, and said: "Shu'er, I already knew you would hate me, but there is still a glimmer of hope in my heart...I

I secretly hope that no matter what I do wrong, you will forgive me... so I mustered up the courage to make the same mistake again and again."

Shu'er burst into tears and could no longer clearly see Liu's smile that seemed to melt ice and snow.

Liu said softly: "Shu'er, if you kill me, you can forgive me... I don't regret Liu's death."

…

Sixteen years ago, Xiao Liu and Xiao Liu Shu were lying side by side on the star-catching platform of the White Jade Palace.

Xiao Liu said: "My good sister, you understand me best and have my best interests at heart. I don't know if I will be able to marry someone who understands me and thinks about me as well as you do."

Xiao Liu Shu said: "I will definitely do it! I also want to marry someone who loves me and dotes on me like an elder brother."

Xiao Liu glanced at her pretending to be disgusted: "It's hard for you to be such a scumbag." Xiao Liu Shu's face wrinkled, and Xiao Liu laughed and said, "But even if you can't find it, you still can't find it."

It’s me! I, my brother who was taken advantage of, will love you and pamper you all my life.”

Xiao Liu Shu's brows relaxed, and the two little figures stopped talking. They each counted the stars in the sky, connected them into lines, and imagined different small paintings.

When I was young, time always passed very slowly. I could never finish counting the stars.

…

In the Yilan Mountains of the Shu Kingdom, thick smoke filled the air and time stood still.

Shu'er cried out sadly, turned around and ran down the mountain.

Liu touched the shallow wound on his throat and ordered without looking back: "King Pingchang, General Lu, please return to the Song Dynasty immediately, lead an army of 50,000 Teng Yong, and be sure to recapture the Jade Capital before the spring begins!"

After that, he started to chase after Shu'er.

Ling Fei passed behind Qiao Yun and Lu Hui, and also chased after Liu.

Qiao Yun and Lu Hui looked at each other. Qiao Yun said displeasedly: "You just won a great victory, how can your Highness abandon the country and ignore it at this time?"

Lu Hui once witnessed the King of Song barefoot rescuing the female general of Qi from the prison in the Song Dynasty. At that time, King Song's boots were worn on the feet of the unconscious female general of Qi... The female general of Qi at that time also

It was the woman who had just assassinated the King of Song.

Lu Hui sighed: "It was the Song State that won the victory, not His Highness."

Qiao Yun said: "That's all. Now that King Qi and King Wei are no longer alive, it will be easy to recapture Jade Capital and Dongyang. There is no need to bother Your Highness at all."

Lu Hui nodded and said: "His Highness has solved the great troubles for our Song Dynasty, so we should also go and relieve His Highness's worries."

Qiao Yun looked helpless: "I just don't know when His Highness will come back. Is it worth it for King Qi's widow? If my sister knows about this, she will definitely vent her anger on me again."

Lu Hui said with a smile: "There are frequent wars in Shu, and His Highness is busy with military affairs. It is natural for him to be late in returning to Song for a few days. King Pingchang will not say anything about this, I, Lu Hui, and Ling Fei will not say anything. The queen is far away in Yide.
