Chapter 118 The fifth swan song

At the age of eighteen, he is a handsome and handsome boy, but he already has a hundred thousand Qin cavalry in his hands, and he is sending his troops eastward to crusade against Zhao Guo.What a legendary and fascinating scene that is!Cheng Yu had already become the most attention-getting international star before he had set foot on the battlefield. Not only Qin was paying attention to him, but the six eastern countries were also paying attention to him.There has been no precedent for such a young coach since ancient times.All irrelevant people are full of curiosity: is what they will witness a miracle of genius, or a ridiculous farce?

Finally taking control of the army, Cheng Yu didn't feel the joy he expected, and his immature face showed boredom and fatigue prematurely.And an incident that happened before the expedition cast a heavy shadow on his heart. When the news of Cheng Yu's upcoming departure came out, Mi Xin never had a good night's sleep.She wants to give Cheng Yu a surprise.She began to quietly sew Zhengyi for Chengyu.Finally being able to do something for the one he loves gives Mi Xin great happiness and satisfaction.Usually, it is the responsibility of the mother or wife to sew clothes. Obviously, in the process of sewing, Mi Xin had a complex shift and claimed to be the wife of Cheng Yu.

After more than ten days and nights, the clothes are ready, and the weeds are about to leave.So Mi Xin went to see Cheng Xu.Holding the snow-white Zhengyi, she had a sweet face, and in her expectation, what greeted her would be the tenderness and gratitude of Cheng Yu.As long as she thinks that Cheng Yu will be wearing the Zheng clothes she sewed by herself, traveling thousands of miles, never leaving her day and night, Mi Xin will have hot flashes all over her body, as if she is being held in Cheng Yu's arms. Cheng Yu's face was solemn, as if he was confused by some kind of emotion and couldn't extricate himself.Mi Xinjin's offer of Zhengyi did not arouse his special attention.Mi Xin smiled lightly and said: "I am allowed to serve as a concubine to change clothes." Her slender fingers gently and shyly stretched out towards Cheng Yu's body.Cheng Yu suddenly said indifferently and bluntly: "Don't touch me." And it was these short four words that Cheng Yu would remember and regret for a lifetime in the future.He couldn't figure it out, how could he hurt himself even more after hurting the one he loved.It seems that Newton's third law does not hold true at all, and sometimes the reaction force is far greater than the action force.

As soon as Cheng Xun spoke, Mi Xin seemed to be shocked, her body shook slightly, her hands paused in the air, and it took a long time before she retracted them in a daze.Her face was snow-white, her eyes were full of tears, she looked at Cheng Xu in pain, her lips trembled, and she wanted to say something, but she couldn't make a sound. Cheng Yu said: Madam, you don't have to stay here anymore, you can go home. When Mi Xin heard that she was free, her heart felt like a knife.She couldn't bear to leave Cheng Yu just like that.Home is so far away for her.She didn't know where the courage came from, and she fell down at Cheng Yu's feet, no longer hiding what she was thinking, and said: "The concubine doesn't want to go anywhere, she just wants to stay by your side forever."

Cheng Yu said coldly: "Madam, please don't worry. Cheng Yu definitely didn't intend to test Madam, why should Madam speak softly on purpose. What Cheng Yu said is true. Cheng Yu will send someone to escort Madam back." Mi Xin hugged Cheng Xu's leg, just sobbing. Cheng Yu wondered: "Isn't it what Madam always wanted to go back to my husband and young son? Madam should be happy." "I have no memory of my concubine in my old home, so please don't abandon my humble concubine." Cheng Yu said loudly: "Whether madam is willing or not, she must go back."

Mi Xin suddenly laughed sharply, and said: "The Lord kept the concubine before, and now he released it easily. The Lord has nothing to ask for from the concubine, why did the Lord come here?" "When Madam returns home, she will naturally understand." Mi Xin was silent for a moment, raised her tearful eyes again, and asked cautiously, "Will we meet again?" Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "No, we will never see each other again. Madam is Fan Yuqi's wife from beginning to end, how could Cheng Yu dare to disturb her again. Cheng Yu knew that Fan Yuqi would meet, Cheng Yu did not tarnish his wife's innocence Ma'am, you can return home with peace of mind."

Mi Xin sneered and said: "What Jun Hou said to the concubine before, could it be that he can't deceive the concubine?" Cheng Yu avoided answering, and laughed loudly: "It is a joy in life to get together with my wife. Today is parting, and it is time to have fun. Cheng Yu knows that today is my wife's birthday, and I would like to play a song for my wife and talk about it." Congratulations." Mi Xin murmured: "The concubine's birthday, I don't want you to remember it." If half an hour ago, she knew that Cheng Yu actually remembered her birthday, then she believed that she must be the happiest woman in the world.However, to her now, compared with his unfeeling, Cheng Yu's care seems so careless and insignificant.

Cheng Xun took the piano and played it by himself.The music is like water, gradually flowing faster and faster.Cheng Xun played to the joyful place, and said loudly to Mi Xin: "Madam, is there any interest in singing and dancing?" Mi Xin wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she agreed: "When the lord sees love, the concubine dares to show her shame and express her parting intention. Even if she wants to sing and dance for the lord again in the future, I'm afraid it won't be possible." So, Mi Xin danced lightly to the tune, but seeing her clothes fluttering, she looked like a fairy, so beautiful.Mi Xin both dances and sings, her singing is sad and indignant, extremely desolate.The song says:

The king is like the moon in the sky, and he refuses to take a picture once. A concubine is like a peach at the bottom of a well, who is the flower smiling at? The concubine gave birth to the king before he was born, but the king gave birth to a concubine and was already old. Hate the different daily life, and be with you every day. This is like a swan song.The swan that sings only once in its life, the first time is the last time.For whom does the gorgeousness expressed with life sing?The sadness that penetrates the universe has a strong despair.The swan is about to fall, but the dream cannot be prolonged.

The song is over, no one applauds.Cheng Yu wiped away Mi Xin's tears, and said softly: "Life is unpredictable, why should Madam cry?" Mi Xin knelt down and bowed to Cheng Xu, and said: "The concubine will not cry anymore. Thank you for your money, the concubine, don't leave the concubine." After saying that, he left calmly.Her face has quickly returned to calm, and nothing abnormal can be seen. After Mi Xin left, Cheng Yu suddenly jumped up from the ground, drew out his sword, and slashed wildly at the pillar.How much he wanted to chase her out immediately, say sorry to Mi Xin, kneel down in front of her, and beg for her forgiveness.But he restrained himself.He hated his own restraint.

Mi Xin returned to her courtyard, and carefully dressed herself in the mirror.Fan Yuqi once opened a door for her. When she entered, she was a girl, but when she came out, she became a woman.She thought it was fine.Later, she met Cheng Yu.Cheng Yu also opened a door for her. When she entered, she was a woman, but when she came out, she became a girl.She felt that it was better this way, and it couldn't be better.She looked at herself in the mirror and gave the brightest smile: Happy birthday, Mi Xin. Not a moment later, someone came to report that Mi Xin threw herself into a well and died.Hearing this, Cheng Yu felt a sharp pain in his heart and passed out on the ground.Just when he hesitated just now, he lost his chance to bring Mi Xin back forever.A generation of beauties, the fragrance fades away.It was the seventh day of July in the eighth year of Yingzheng.Life and death on the same day, is it man-made?Is it God? Cheng Yu wakes up after a long time, and urgently orders people to pick up Mi Xin quickly.He was going to see her one last time.Uncle Fuqiu also arrived just in time, and hurriedly said: "You shouldn't go. Mrs. Fan has thrown herself into the well. In my opinion, it's better to fill the well and bury it for safety." Cheng Yu was furious, grabbed Fuqiubo's lapel, and scolded: "What words! What words! All crimes are caused by you. You still have the face to do this vicious and inhumane trick?" Fu Qiubo was not alarmed, he signaled the rest of the people to retreat first, and then said: "Your Majesty, calm down. The deceased is dead, so why bother Iraq and yourself. Everything is God's will. Mrs. Fan's isolation is the best ending specially arranged by God. When the time for farewell comes, let Mrs. Fan sleep at the bottom of the well. Everyone can be troubled by love, but the king can't. Waiting for the king should not be just a woman, It should be an entire country, a huge empire, an empire belonging to the princes, and an empire belonging to the Ying family." Cheng Yu said again: "Mrs. Fan decided to sink herself. How should I explain to Fan Yuqi?" Fu Qiubo smiled and said: "The clothes are not as good as the old ones, and the people are not as good as the new ones. General Fan has long since sunk in the beauty village. How can he care if Mrs. Fan is dead or alive?" Cheng Yu was silent.Fu Qiubo's words somewhat gave Cheng Yu some comfort and courage.Farewell, Mi Xin.You were a dream too beautiful, and I woke up at the wrong moment.You were never mine, and I hope you never belonged to anyone.Please forgive me.The heaven you go to is a place I can't go to.And where I am going, you are not allowed to go with me.So Cheng Xu washed his hands in front of Fuqiubo with water, and said, "Filling the well and not burying it is what you want. This woman's blood was shed because of you, and it's not my fault. You should bear it." Fuqiu Bo nodded and said, "Your Majesty is as you wish. Her blood belongs to me and my descendants."
