(Vol 4.4: Premonition of the decisive battle)
[Luoer City-Jade Flower Country]
I stared blankly at Bifan's sleeping face in the morning sun. Zuo Xi, do you still want to be a person with a heart? I ask myself softly, but I get no answer. I only know that when I was in danger and unable to think, it was the faint fragrance of him and Yuetong that gave me a sense of peace, just like the feeling that Ah Xin gave me when we first met.
"Why are you looking at me? You didn't realize that you've fallen in love with me, did you?”Bifan woke up when I was still in a daze. He tilted his head and approached me, teasing me with deep affection in his eyes. I woke up from my thoughts and saw that his face suddenly turned cold. I could only answer faintly,"Thank you."
Yesterday's fainting was because he woke me up with his own fragrance when I was struggling in the nightmare, right? This is the second time I, Zuo Xi, have said thank you. The first time was when Ah Xin fell off the cliff because of me.
"It's okay." He answered with a faint smile, but there was obvious fatigue in the depths of his eyes. "How's the war?" I asked. He shook his head helplessly and said calmly,"I guess." The final battle was about to begin. With my strength alone, I still can't protect the country."
"Are they using their own strength to protect the country?”I asked disdainfully, but the corners of my mouth revealed a trace of concern. He looked up at me in amazement and said,"Xiao Yi. Do you still care about me? Don't you blame me?"
I turned my head awkwardly, but my words were honest."I don't know." I just don't want you to lose your country." He suddenly smiled brightly. The brilliance in his eyes was as dazzling as the night stars, as if all the beautiful brilliance in the world had gathered in his eyes.
"Thank you. Thank you for standing up for my country. I thank you not only for myself, but also for my people and my territory. Only your superior wisdom can calmly think and solve the problem when I am at a loss. Sometimes I wonder if Xiao Yi is a fairy sent by God to protect me?”He said quietly, and I listened quietly until he finished. Then I said coldly,"I never break my promise."
He smiled darkly and asked me gently,"Xiao Yi." Can I ever stand by your side again? Although your smile is so brilliant, I can always feel the emptiness of your arrogance. Just like a gust of wind, I feel its existence and want to grab it. But I can't find it. Xiao Yi, don't you need someone to protect you? You're too tired."
I turned my head and raised my chin."I don't need it." I promise that I won't let you lose anything in this war." After a long time, I turned my head to look at him. He lowered his head and quietly looked at the embroidery on his robe. His eyes were gentle but dull, with entanglement and helplessness.
However, such a focused gaze made me feel a trace of reluctance. After the decisive battle, I would leave. I have to go back to the Southern Kingdom. I'm getting married.
"Bifan. I will leave after this battle." Finally, he hesitated to open his mouth. After listening, he stared at me in amazement, his eyes filled with strong shock and helplessness. I curled my lips sarcastically and did not speak again. I just turned my gaze and looked at the sunny autumn scenery outside the small house.
It's autumn, but why can I still feel the cold and warmth?
Zuo Xi, you are really not yourself anymore.
[Outside Luoer City-Jade Flower Country]
"Xiao Yi? What are you looking at?" On the city tower, I looked at the Southern Kingdom army that was advancing step by step, and my heart was in a panic. Then aren't the ones leading the way my father and brother Yu?
Did they want to settle this once and for all? Was this the so-called decisive battle?
"Xiao Yi. If I lose this time, I'll lose this border, Lil. Don't blame me." Bifan said lightly beside me. I turned my head to look at him, puzzled.
"If I'm the one who dragged you into this, then let me use failure to redeem you." He continued, his eyes staring at me with warmth.
I didn't speak, and he said to the border guards,"Stop defending." Retreat and leave immediately." With that, he turned around and left. Although the soldiers who were preparing to fight were puzzled, they looked at the imposing Southern Kingdom army and finally gritted their teeth and ordered a retreat.
"Don't." I subconsciously pulled Bifan and said to his puzzled green eyes,"Even if you retreat, I can still let you win." He frowned and looked at me with heartache. A desolate smile floated on his lips and he said faintly,"I'll wait and see."
So he turned around and left.
I stood on the city tower and looked at the interior of Luoer City, which had already opened its gates. It was desolate inside, and the soldiers who were retreating in a hurry were as dense as ants.
The wind suddenly blew, blowing my long hair. I smiled sarcastically, then turned around and looked at the puzzled Southern soldiers standing outside the city gate, feeling guilty.
sorry.
I silently recited a sentence in my heart, then picked up the moon flute tied to my belt, brought it to my lips, and gently played it.
The people standing outside the city gate immediately saw such a beautiful scene. A young girl wearing a white dress embroidered with lilies tied a white ribbon to a jade flute. The wind kept blowing her bright and transparent flaxen hair and exquisite skirt. She was as beautiful as a celestial being under the sun. Although her eyes were tied with an ice gauze, her facial features were peerless. She was as beautiful as a fairy who had returned with the wind.
However, the sound of the flute by her lips became stronger and stronger, as if it wanted to tear apart everything. Although the beautiful flute sound was like weeping and complaining, the magic hidden under the beauty made everyone unable to stop.
The soldiers were immersed in her beautiful flute music and stopped all their movements. They began to follow her flute music and their hearts gently rippled, as if the most beautiful thing in the world had begun to unfold.
"Xi 'er." A blue-robed youth standing in the middle of the army, immersed in the sound of the flute, called out softly, his gaze drifting with her movements. However, the surprise in his eyes was buried by the mystery hidden under the flute sound, leaving only layers of helplessness.
Looking at everyone's immersed expressions and actions, the girl playing the flute gave a faint smile, and the helplessness and guilt in her eyes became more obvious.
Suddenly, an arrow flashed towards the girl. The girl put down the flute in her hand and looked at the arrow. Her eyes were filled with guilt and she subconsciously closed her eyes.
