Chapter 144 "Alas, since ancient times, love has always been full of regrets..."
Luo Sanqian lay in bed for two days.
Without that annoying guy hovering around my bed all day...
I still feel like I'm not used to it.
The injuries on both sides have improved a lot.
So he came with Xie Qinghuan to take care of Luo Changfeng.
Because of what happened before, he bowed his head and went in.
Kneel down as soon as you enter.
"Big brother..."
Luo Changfeng was trying to walk with the support of Lin Zheng.
Seeing him like this, he sat down at the table.
Adjust your breathing.
"Is the injury healed?"
Xie Qinghuan moved closer to Luo Changfeng.
Acting coquettishly to plead for Luo Sanqian:
"Third brother's injury hasn't fully healed yet!
I miss my big brother so much that I can’t wait to come visit him.”
Hearing this, Luo Changfeng pulled Xie Qinghuan to sit next to him and looked at Luo Sanqian.
"If your injury is not healed yet, take good care of it."
His tone was gentle, not as emotional as before.
Only then did Luo Sanqian dare to swallow his saliva and raise his eyes.
"Brother, the matter of Qianyin Pavilion..."
Luo Changfeng interrupted him before he finished speaking:
"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore now that it's over. Get up!"
Xie Qinghuan saw Luo Sanqian's expression relaxed.
He quickly stood up and pulled him up.
"Yes, get up quickly, Third Brother."
Several people sat at the table and chatted.
Luo Changfeng sent Lin Zheng and others out.
He was peeling nuts for Xie Qinghuan, as if he had something to say.
Hesitating.
"Qing Huan, considering the injuries of me and the third brother, when can we set off to return to Beijing?"
Xie Qinghuan ate nuts and did some calculations.
“I heard from my elder brother that my second elder brother is on his way to Dongzhou to support my uncle!
If we time it right, maybe we can see him on the road!"
"But……"
Luo Changfeng hesitated for a moment.
Somewhat embarrassing.
"What's wrong, big brother?"
Luo Sanqian also looked at him puzzledly.
He then pinched his slightly hot earlobe and spoke tactfully:
"The second brother will definitely take the official road to support the front line, but... I want to take a detour and go to Black Stone City..."
Xie Qinghuan raised his eyes alertly.
"Going to Black Rock City? What for? To meet someone?"
Luo Changfeng's ears became redder as she questioned him.
"Well, it's not an important matter...it's just..."
"Say it quickly!"
My eldest brother is already so old, but he has always been against marriage proposal.
Is it...
Is there something hidden?
Luo Sanqian also became interested and looked at him with sharp eyes.
"Well... we fought in Black Rock City before, and many of our brothers are buried there..."
what?
Feel sorry……
Wrong thinking.
Xie Qinghuan hurriedly clasped his hands together and cried out his guilt.
"I am narrow-minded... Then my second brother and I will send a message and not wait for him! Let's go to Black Stone City to pay tribute to the heroic spirits and loyal bones."
Luo Changfeng lowered his eyelashes and hummed in silence.
Then he said...
"Besides, I want to see an old friend."
An old friend?
This time, Xie Qinghuan didn't dare to think too much and waited for him to continue.
"That year, Black Rock City suppressed a rebellion. I was seriously injured and fell off my horse. It was a woman who saved me..."
He sipped the warm tea guiltily.
This made Xie Qinghuan unable to help but ask.
"Oh? A girl? Why haven't I heard big brother mention her before?
What is the woman's name? Is she married?"
Luo Changfeng's eyes were wandering and he drank tea repeatedly.
"Her name is...Sulan. When she saved me, she was still unmarried. Now...she is married."
what?
Married?
Then go see her?
Big brother, you don’t look like the kind of person who would destroy someone’s family!
Seeing that Luo Changfeng was hesitating, she decided not to ask any more questions.
After leaving the house, Chu Hanxiao pulled Lin Zheng into the bedroom and asked him:
"Who is Sulan?"
Luo Sanqian also followed into the house.
Although his Qianyin Pavilion was well-informed, he only knew that his eldest brother had once secretly engaged to a woman, but that the relationship was later dropped.
The rest of the details are not very clear.
He was also very curious.
The elder brother who has always been indifferent to matters between men and women...
What kind of story is hidden in your heart?
Lin Zheng kept his mouth shut at first.
They always say that military secrets must not be leaked.
After Luo Sanqian detailed his "little secret", he confessed himself -
"Miss Tao'er, the Tianxiang Tower in Kyoto, has cost you a total of eighty-two taels;
In the three years of Xinglong Gambling House, a total of 270 taels were lost;
I helped Miss Xiaowan redeem herself and borrowed 200 taels from my colleagues, but now I have only returned 30 taels...
You are my eldest brother's deputy general, and your monthly salary is clearly 100 taels, but you only told your wife 80 taels..."
"Third Young Master! Third Young Master... please be kind!
I haven’t gambled for half a year, and I haven’t been to Tianxianglou for a long time…
Please don't tell the general or my wife about these things!"
Luo Sanqian snorted and laughed.
Glancing at Xie Qinghuan.
Xie Qinghuan secretly gave him a thumbs up.
He raised his head proudly.
"How is it? Lieutenant General Lin...are you willing to tell us what happened to Su Lan?"
Lin Zheng looked embarrassed when he heard this.
He swallowed his saliva and shrank his neck.
"If I tell you... you all must keep it a secret for me, otherwise... the general will definitely kill me!"
"Don't worry! I know the rules of the underworld!"
Lin Zheng then spoke nervously.
"The story of Miss Sulan... starts five years ago."
Xie Qinghuan and Luo Sanqian looked at each other.
Sit down obediently.
Listen to Lin Zheng start talking about old things.
“Back then, the general led us to Black Rock City to quell the rebellion, and our army suffered heavy casualties.
The general risked his life to lead his troops to break through, but was accidentally shot and fell off his horse. He was saved by this girl Sulan!
Miss Sulan not only helped the general avoid the rebels’ search, but also successfully delivered the intelligence to the outside of the city…”
Xie Qinghuan's eyes sparkled.
Seeing him pause, I couldn't help but ask.
"What happened next? Did big brother develop feelings for her?"
Lin Zheng touched the back of his head hesitantly.
“I don’t know about that…
However, after the general returned to the camp, his wound was not treated properly, and the infection caused a high fever.
When I woke up again, I had forgotten a lot of things.
After the rebellion was quelled, Miss Sulan came to see the general, but…"
Xie Qinghuan took a breath of cold air.
"Big brother forgot about her?"
"Um……"
She suddenly remembered that her elder brother had said to her indignantly before...
There is nothing good about men!
Come to think of it...
Big brother, he must feel guilty too...
"Later, the army set out and left Black Stone City.
However, when they were almost reaching the capital, the general suddenly remembered all his lost memories!
Rushed back to Black Stone City overnight...
But, I heard that the day before the general arrived, Miss Sulan had already cried and got married..."
Xie Qinghuan sighed.
Shaked his head regretfully.
"Sulan's family must have forced her..."
"Well... the general returned to Kyoto in a state of despair amidst the heavy rain.
Every expedition after that, no matter if it was on the way or not.
The generals would take a detour to Black Stone City, see her from a distance, and not disturb her..."
Big brother, so pitiful...
Xie Qinghuan lowered his eyes and looked at the water cup in his hand.
Suddenly I thought of Qianying who was hiding in a dark corner, secretly protecting my third brother...
She sighed heavily.
"Alas, since ancient times, love has always been full of regrets..."
Luo Sanqianben was also in a trance.
Seeing her looking at herself and sighing.
I couldn't help but chuckle.
"what?"
Remembering Chu Hanxiao's instructions, she waved her hands hurriedly.
"Ah, no, I was talking about big brother...it would have been great if I could have gone back a day earlier!"
"Um...right."
Luo Sanqian also sighed.
He started to daydream again.
I don't know, what am I thinking...
