Chapter 36: Farewell (2)

Chen Huai, who had disappeared for several days, appeared in Shen Jun's courtyard again in the evening. This time, he did not bring Qianniuwei, but came to Chen Jun alone with high spirits and high emotions, which made her feel a little confused. Since Longyoudao came back, Chen Huai's performance has always been fluctuating, and it is unexpected that she has to work hard to adapt. Today, even if she can tolerate and be willing to give everything for him, she feels a little helpless.

But no matter what, Chen Huai rarely comes back for dinner now, so Chen Jun cheers up and prepares the meal for him. Her heart is both happy and worried, and her fear that has become deeper and deeper since the late night makes her feel distracted. Chen Huai is inexplicably excited, going in and out of the kitchen, constantly complaining that Chen Jun is too slow. Chen Jun is even more panicked and at a loss. After finally putting on a table of wine and food, she has no appetite and is exhausted before she has raised her chopsticks.

Chen Huai seemed to have not seen Chen Jun's gray face and sad expression. Maybe he pretended not to see it. Tonight he had something important to talk about, which was related to his personal future and destiny, life and death, and he had no time to take care of the others. He picked up the wine and poured two glasses, brought it high to his eyes, and said with a look of spring breeze: "Ajun, you and I haven't had a good meal together for a long time. Come on, come on, let's have a few drinks today!"

Chen Jun barely sipped wine, staring at Chen Huai's face after the candlelight was beating. Her eyes were blurred: "Brother, you have been at home for a while, and I have not had dinner for several days..." Chen Huai was stunned, swallowed his saliva desperately, and said with a forced smile: "Ah, I'm too busy, sorry, A Jun, come on, even if I apologize for this glass of wine!" As he said, he tossed up, Chen Jun also raised his glass and drank it all, and a light blush appeared on his pale face. Putting the wine glass down, she smiled sadly at Chen Huai. This charming appearance that is rare in daily life made Chen Huai's heart sway, and then a hand was squeezing hard on his heart, causing him to gasp... Chen Huai gritted his teeth and couldn't drag it anymore. If he dragged it, he might lose his courage. It's not poisonous, but his husband, so he should fight quickly!

Clearing his throat, Chen Huai pretended to behave, "Ajun, there is a reason why I am so happy today, do you know? Our family has two happy things!" "Double happy things?" "Yes!" Chen Huai raised his voice: "And it's you and me, one happy event. Ajun, which one do you want to know first?"

Chen Jun raised his confused eyes: "I have a happy event too?" His wet eyes gently brushed across Chen Huai's red cheeks, and then lowered his eyelids: "Brother, let's talk about you first." As expected, Chen Huai sighed in his heart, but the final struggle was fleeting like a meteor. He finally made up his mind and said in a proud and slightly frivolous tone: "Ajun, I'm going to have a good fortune in love with you." Chen Jun's whole body trembled, Chen Huai turned a blind eye. He practiced many times in his heart and finally broke out like a wild horse: "Ajun, you must still remember the Miss Zhou Jingyuan, right? It was the lady that Lord Di invited us to visit the Flower Festival. Ajun, in fact, you also saw that time. Miss Zhou was very interested in me, but I was worried about her identity as Guiyuan. I always felt that this daughter was not easy to get along with, so I didn't really understand. I thought she was neglected and would soon give up. But who knew that Miss Zhou was still infatuated and still missed me... A few days ago, Lord Zhou had an accident and died at the Royal Saibao Conference. Lord Di asked me to go to the Zhou family to comfort me. As a result, in grief, Miss Jingyuan actually regarded me as the closest person. The true love of mourning was really unbearable to refuse. So I went to Zhou's mansion several times to help Miss Jingyuan relieve her grief and give her some advice. After a while, I never expected that I could not let go of her in my heart..." His voice suddenly lowered, and she was even shy. However, at this moment, Shen Jun heard it, it was like a bolt from the blue one after another, which made her heart break and didn't know where she was.

Chen Huai was still saying: "After Lord Zhou's death, Miss Jingyuan was alone, helpless and truly adorable. When I was in the Zhou Mansion, her confession to me several times and her infatuation really touched me. I thought about it and after hesitation, I decided to ask her for a marriage."

"Pa", Chen Jun's wine glass was hit on the ground by her and smashed to pieces. But she didn't realize it, just staring at Chen Huai straight, her lips trembling and unable to say a word. Chen Huai retaliated against her and smiled shyly, and said something more ruthlessly: "Look at me, I'm so busy these days, I'm actually doing related things. Hmm, I don't have elders and relatives at home, and I'm really worried about everything. Fortunately, Lord Di is very happy about this matter. Cheng, he also made the decision for me to make Nacai, ask for the name and Najib's etiquette, and the marriage was finally settled. Of course, Miss Zhou lost her father recently and could not perform the wedding ceremony immediately. She still had to delay some time before choosing a good time..." He looked at Chen Jun's snow-white face and added with an unsatisfactory sentence: "Jingyuan is not a woman who is bound by common etiquette. She has told me that she will come and go from now on. Not only will I go to Zhou's house to accompany her, but she is also willing to come and walk around my house."

After he finished speaking, his heart calmed down. Life was helpless, and he just struggled all kinds of things, just to get out of trouble... A Jun, whether you hate or resent today, your fate is over and I can't continue! There is no banquet that never ends, and the people who planted the bitter fruits are those who are in the nine springs, but we have to taste the bitterness. I have had enough. I just want to live my own life and no longer bear the inexplicable burden for anyone! A Jun, today I will give you a way out. As long as you can open the knot in your heart, take a step, the vast sky will be...

Chen Huai waited patiently for a long time, and Chen Jun, who was as stupid as a chicken, seemed to wake up slowly. She only heard her stuttering: "Zhou, Miss Zhou is coming here... Then, brother, where do you want me to go?" Although he was ready to deal with various situations, Chen Huai was still deeply hurt by her reluctance. Perhaps her crying would make him feel much better, but it had reached this point and there was no room for sadness and confusion. Chen Huai held his breath and waited for the rolling turbid waves in his chest to calm down. Finally, he sighed and began another prepared conversation.

"Ajun, you are so smart. You suddenly thought of your place. Haha, this is exactly the second happy event I want to tell you, your happy event!" He stopped deliberately, Chen Jun was silent, with wide eyes on his pale face, and he looked forward emptyly, as if he hadn't heard anything. Chen Huai decided to make an end. His voice was relaxed and warm, as if full of real joy: "Di Jinghui was pardoned and came back to Luoyang a few days ago. He brought me a letter, written by your old acquaintance, Mei Yingchun." He took out a letter from his arms, shook it in front of Shen Jun, and put it on the table. Continue, "This letter is written as a private matter, haha, about your private matter. Ajun, I said that Mei Yingchun, who has been patrolling Jinchen Pass for a long time, must not be at ease, and I really got to know him! He said in the letter that since he left Luoyang and went to the Western Regions, he has always been unforgettable to you and miss you day and night. This war in Longyou gave him the opportunity to regain the authority of Tuqishi. He is full of confidence in the future and believes that he will ascend to the Khan throne soon, so he muster up the courage to write to you. I wonder if Miss Chen Jun is interested in going to the Western Regions to be the Khan Concubine of Tuqishi in the future?...Ajun? Did you hear it?"

Chen Jun slowly glanced at the letter, and when his eyes fell back to Chen Huai's face, he was surprisingly calm and peaceful: "Brother, I understand, I understand. Mr. Mei, he is really kind..." Chen Huai suddenly felt an indescribable embarrassment, and his clever words disappeared in an instant. He could only say aloofly: "Ajun, I also think that Mei Yingchun is full of sincerity for you, and it is rare to be commendable. Besides, the Western Regions are actually quite good. I have seen it myself this time. It has a unique scenery. You... will like it there..." When he said the last few words, he felt ashamed and couldn't help but lower his head.

Chen Jun smiled slightly. She stretched out her hand and gently stroked the back of Chen Huai's hand, as if she was making the last effort, and as if she wanted to verify her destiny again. She asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you really want me to leave? The Western Regions are far away. A Jun is gone, I'm afraid I will never come back in this life..." "A Jun!" Chen Huai called out softly, impulsively holding Chen Jun's slender jade hand. These hands are still a little rough and cannot be compared with Zhou Jingyuan's snow-skinned and ice-skinned lady Zhou Jingyuan, but they are the most familiar A Jun Hand. Since they were all children, he has joined hands with her to share the suffering and joy of life. Unconsciously, she has already integrated into his flesh and blood. It was not until this moment that Chen Huai realized what he was doing. Is his Ajun really leaving? It is tantamount to cutting his flesh and tearing his heart... It hurts, and it hurts so much that he gasps several times. His seemingly firm determination is about to collapse. At this critical moment, a call sounded in his ear: "Brother Lan..."

As if he was struck by lightning, Chen Huai's blood suddenly turned from heat to cold. This call wrapped around the terrifying aura from hell, making him wake up and unable to hesitate or hesitate anymore, otherwise it would be death! So he let go of Chen Jun's hand and said in a cold and gloomy tone: "Ajun, I told you that you are not allowed to mention it again, why have you forgotten it?!"

Chen Jun lowered his head, and tears finally rolled down, and the mist in his heart soaked in despair. She still doesn't understand why all this is because of it, but she doesn't want to pursue it anymore. Chen Huai regained his momentum, and cruel words poured out again: "Ajun, since you don't object, then this matter will be decided. I will send a letter to Mei Yingchun to reply to him immediately, and you can set off quickly. From Luoyang to Tingzhou, it will take at least two months to go on the road to Saiye. You can set off early and arrive before the severe winter. Wu Zhile said that he would go to Liangzhou to pick you up in person, so after the departure date is set, I will also write it in a letter to ask him to come to Liangzhou to wait for you in advance."

Chen Jun nodded blankly. Her life has lost all meaning from now on. It doesn't matter what will happen in the future. She just habitually followed Chen Huai's arrangements and followed his instructions... "Don't leave, life and death will follow." Chen Jun silently recited this sentence in her heart that she had been remembering since childhood. She could die for him, but obviously he didn't want it and didn't need it. Then let Ajun use the little time left to do something for her "Brother Lan", as long as it can make him happy, it's enough.

He raised his head and Chen Jun looked at Chen Huai's face again. This person she loved for the rest of her life. Now he doesn't want her anymore and abandoned her. Her eyes couldn't stop crying, but a smile came from the corner of her mouth: "Brother, after A Jun is gone, will you, will you miss me?" Chen Huai's eyes also turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "Of course, of course I will miss you, my A Jun..." He calmed down: "But, you and I can have a good marriage, and the relatives in the nine springs will be happy for us. A Jun, you are a rare good girl and will definitely be happy."

On this day and the next night, the autumn wind whistled in Luoyang City. When the people who got up early in the morning opened their doors, they found that thick yellow leaves were covered with the streets. On this morning, a small carriage drove out of a secluded street behind Shangxianfang, and the wheels were rolling on the yellow leaves, silently. The sky was high and quiet, and looked down at the joys and sorrows of the world without revealing a sound. When its eyes passed by this lonely figure, it also showed a faint pain and sadness. When the wind passed, the yellow leaves flew all over the sky, the wind stopped, the leaves fell, and the ground was desolate. The lonely back had disappeared without leaving any trace.

On the fifth day after the Suye Victory, Wu Zhile hurried back to Tingzhou. This time he traveled lightly, only with his youngest son, Chambu and 100 light cavalry, the eldest son, Sagge and General Hasler, led his troops to stay in charge of Suye. Logically speaking, Wu Zhile had just captured Suye and fought for the position of Tuqishi's khan. He should have rectified the situation and calmed the people's hearts, but he was really concerned about all the troubles in Tingzhou and had to come back to deal with them personally. Of course, when Wu Zhile won the victory, he wiped out the power of Suye Yuan Chiduo. The Eastern Turks did not dare to act rashly due to the deterrence of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was basically relieved to leave Suye.
