"Do you want to send troops?"
After talking for a long time, this question was still entangled with us. Qinghan's brows never relieved. He probably knew that he had to show an attitude. His expression became solemn. After a while, he slowly looked at me: "I know what you have been thinking about all the time, and I understand it myself."
“…”
"We must leave some people in our hands and plan for our future."
“…”
"But all this has a prerequisite."
I was silent for a moment and said, "Xichuan cannot fall."
He nodded: "Yes."
“…”
"If Xichuan really falls, we will have nothing. I think you have a deeper understanding of the destructiveness of a war than me. No matter how many industries I have in Bishan, no matter how deep Yan Qinghan's foundation is, no matter how prosperous Xichuan was, a war is enough to destroy everything."
“…”
"So, when we consider our own premise, Nishikawa is safe and sound."
"So, you have plans to send troops."
"I have such a plan. Because the emperor gave me a briefing, I probably knew that he did not bring enough troops into Sichuan. This time he came to negotiate with the Yan family. In fact, it was really because he was on the risk of his troops. It was impossible to let him go to Sanjiangkou. Even if he ordered to dispatch troops to Xi'an Prefecture, it would be too late to go back and forth. So I think that if I want to face the people there, I still have to send troops."
“…”
"Of course, that's what I think, and you need to get your promise, after all," he looked up at me and chuckled: "I don't want to make you angry anymore."
After he said this, he wanted to laugh at the heavy mood again by him, and he actually chuckled, and then slowly started to look up. He also looked at me intently, waiting for my response.
I thought for a while and said, "I understand what you mean."
He said, "Then, do you agree to my troops?"
I thought for a while and said, "Since I have said this, I don't want to agree. I just think we can't be too aggressive."
He said: "Of course I won't go head-on with the people there, after all, it's my own people who are losing their lives. Sanjiangkou is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as Wen Ruyu defends a few passes in that place, Jiangling's troops will not be so easy to enter Xichuan. On this point, I still have confidence in him."
"So, you have to go to Bishan to dispatch troops first?"
"Well, this matter is not too late."
"But I—"
I was a little hesitant. In theory, I should be moving forward and retreating with him. Since he was going back to Bishan, I should also go back to help him with some help. However, so many things happened to Taihe, especially after all the clues pointed to Sanjiang Dam, my goal was always there. I originally planned to go to Sanjiang Dam with him, but now I suddenly have to change my route...
Qinghan glanced at me and said, "Do you still want to go to Sanjiang Dam?"
“…”
"If you want to go, I can send someone to accompany you."
“…”
I hesitated for a while and said, "I want to go, not only because so many people and things are pointing there now, but I want to unravel some of the doubts left by my mother, but one more thing."
"What?"
"I always feel that my mother left a lot of people and things in Xichuan back then, and it seems that she is preparing for today. Just like the mechanism in the Academy Library Pavilion, she expected that the library would have a disaster, so she left those things. Do you think she would have expected that there would be a battle in the Central Plains and Xichuan would eventually face this choice."
Qinghan fell silent. After a long time, he slowly said, "I think Mrs. Yan should be prepared."
“…”
"Actually, everyone understands the general trend of the world. If you divide it for a long time, you will be separated for a long time, you will be separated for a long time. She cannot not know it."
“…”
"So, she should be prepared, Nishikawa will face the current dilemma."
Speaking of this, his eyes lit up suddenly and he turned to look at me: "So you think she might leave behind something in the Sanjiang Dam, just like she left that life-saving mechanism in the library?"
I bit my lower lip and whispered: "I'm not sure, but I always feel it."
“…”
"Maybe mother can help us solve the current dilemma."
This time he hesitated a little, pondered for a long time, and said, "Then, the matter of sending troops-"
I thought about it and said, "Your considerations make sense. If we plan for ourselves, the premise is that Xichuan cannot fall. I think this way, you go to mobilize troops, but don't send troops rashly. Wait for me to go to Sanjiang Dam to take a look. If Jiangling's troops really want to attack in, you don't have to mercy."
He nodded: "Okay!"
Speaking of this, both of them were quiet for a moment.
You can focus on discussing major events, but once you finish speaking, an unspeakable silence appears between the two of you, and we all understand very well, which means that the two of us are going to separate again.
Although I am no longer young and do not have the kind of passionate emotions that are like a few autumns after a day. He and I may have impulsiveness, but they are all bursts of restraint and depression by adults. When the relationship has reached this point, the child is so old. If you say anything about you and me, it is inevitable that people will make people laugh.
However, sometimes, the hidden emotions in the heart are not jokes, so they will not be there.
I have just been separated for so long, and I have even experienced the torture of many twists and turns in my heart. I may lose the other party and suddenly want to separate again. It is inevitable that I feel a little uncomfortable.
When I looked at him, his eyes clearly showed some reluctance and sadness.
After a while of silence, he said, "Then, I want to leave earlier."
"Um."
"I'll go over and see the situation first, and I'll wait for you to be careful at any time."
"Um."
"If there is any change here, please notify me as soon as possible."

“…”
He said, and I responded, his eyes never left his eyes. In the end, he couldn't continue to say anything. Just looking at me, I suddenly felt that this room that was originally quite empty was extremely depressed, and I couldn't help but get up and want to go outside to get some breath.
However, just as I was together, he also got up and walked over and stood in front of me.
After looking at me for a while, I took another step closer, almost touching my face, and looked down at me.
I had already experienced it once before, and he suddenly approached like this. In my mind, I intuitively recalled the enthusiasm he gave a few days ago. Subconsciously, I shuddered for a moment, but instead of avoiding his hot sight, I raised my head and looked at his eyes seriously.
The important officials in the court once said this, "Thunder, Rain, Dew, is it God's kindness? I think this sentence is OK between two people."
As long as it is given by him, anything is fine and anything is fine.
Over the years, he has given a lot of happiness and pain, so am I willing to accept it?
What can't bear?
As if I could see what I was thinking, his breathing became a little heavy. After a while, he raised his hand and gently stroked my chin. The feeling of wanting to touch it but fearing that it would scare me came from his fingers with a slight force. I looked at him for a while, but didn't say anything, and felt his fingers pinch my chin slightly and prevent me from moving anymore. Then he bent down and gently kissed my forehead.
His lips were hot, but they were so soft that I was unimaginably soft that I felt like I was sucked by him and almost moved with him. Until he raised his head and a cool breeze blew on his hot eyebrows, I trembled again and looked up at him.
I saw him curling his lips, chuckling, and said, "It is not easy to be a gentleman."
“…”
"It's probably much easier to be a villain."
My face turned red.
He looked at me, smiled, sighed lightly, then turned around and walked out.
Just as he walked to the door, I suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand and dragged him back. Naturally, he would not be dragged around by them like me, but his steps stopped and slowly looked back at me. Seeing that my face had turned red to my neck and my lips were moving, and he whispered: "I'm not a gentleman."
He looked at me with wide eyes slightly.
My cheeks became hotter, but I still looked into his eyes and said seriously: "I am just a difficult woman and villain."
“…”
He didn't speak, but his breath became significantly heavier. He gasped for a few seconds, then turned around and walked in front of me: "Little, but I--"
I said, "I, I don't want to keep you, don't misunderstand it." At this point, my face was red and it was about to ignite the fire. My eyes finally flashed and avoided his almost hotter gaze than me, and murmured, "I just want to tell you, what you want to do, what I want to do is just to look at our own willingness, and there is no need to look at people's faces. No need to do it now, let alone in the future!"
“…”
He listened to my words, a burst of joy surged in his eyes. After a while, he raised his hand, pinched the tip of my chin again, and said in a suppressed voice that was a little trembling: "Of course."
My chin was a little painful when he pinched it, but I didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, it seemed like a flame was ignited by him, and it burned all the way to my heart from the place where my skin was close.
But he left.
After all, facing the heavy troops gathered by Jiangling and Pei Yuanxiu's ambitions, any love for children seems so small and not worth mentioning.
What's more, behind the Sanjiang Dam is Xichuan, a place where both of us need to protect.
