C526 The Human Heart Was Unpredictable
"The cold is coming. Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body. Don't tire yourself out too much. "
Ou Yezi placed the dragon bone soup on the table and said pitifully.
Chu Rouer only made a slight "En" sound and turned her eyes to the memorial in her hand again. Ou Yezi was already used to her cold reaction and smiled bitterly as he cupped his hands. "It is late at night. The Emperor should rest as soon as possible. This old official will retire. "
After saying that, he sighed and turned around. Seeing his hunched back, Chu Rouer could not help but have a sour nose. A drop of clear tear fell into the bowl and she blankly picked up the bowl of soup. Chu Rouer only felt that she owed this old man who had dedicated his entire life to the Great Chu and the Imperial Family too much.
"Grandfather of the Imperial Advisor, forgive Rouer. . . "
Chu Rouer tearfully drank the bowl of Dragon Bone Jade Pillar soup in one gulp and when she put down the bowl, She had returned to her original cold and aloof appearance. A woman who claimed to be the Emperor was destined to face many criticisms. In order to stop the crowd from talking, she had to be even more heartless and heartless than the previous king and even her own Royal Father. From the moment she chose to take this position, the feelings of mortals were not something she should have. Her heart was as solid as a rock, without any pain or itch. This was the creed that she needed to carry out for the rest of her life.
At the same time, at the border tens of thousands of miles away, Dou Tianlai did not fall asleep. Instead, he took off his armor and put on a thin green robe to stroll alone in One-Line-Sky. With his ability, it was naturally easy for him to be immune to the cold. He did not even need to deliberately circulate his energy. The moment the cold came into contact with his body, it would disappear without a trace.
"Tonight might be the last night I will be staying here. "
He looked at the scene in front of him. It was covered with white snow. Dou Tianlai sighed and said. In just half a month's time. . . His cultivation fell from the peak of the Void Cultivating Stage to the middle stage, and the rate at which it degenerated was still increasing. Jie Qianchou's analysis was right back then. It seemed like he really could not make it through this stage.
Death was lighter than a feather. If he stayed in the army and exhausted his life. . . It would undoubtedly be a meaningless thing. Dou Tianlai had decided to return to Luoan at the end of his life. A man's death was about returning to his roots. Although Dou Tianlai was an orphan, Therefore, he had to return to the Luoan City. Furthermore, there were still people he couldn't rest assured about.
"Former Emperor, this old official owes you too much. I have given you the name of the War God, but I can't even protect your descendants. Now, Rouer is the only one left in your bloodline, but this old official has also walked to the end like a candle in the wind. Since that is the case, let this old official use the last remaining heat to do something for your descendants! "
A trace of extreme madness flashed across Dou Tianlai's eyes. At this moment. . . Chu Feng's figure suddenly appeared in his heart. The face that he hated so much in the past was now only left with deep nostalgia. Dou Tianlai smiled bitterly. Tears immediately blurred his eyes. "Little bastard. You are still as annoying as ever. In order to continue going against me. . . Dou Tianlai said with a bitter smile. "
"Fine, since you want to continue fighting, then I'll keep you company. Don't worry, I'll get what you want very soon. "
Walking on this familiar land, Dou Tianlai felt a sense of relief in his heart. However, he still felt reluctant and frustrated. He had already lived here for more than 40 years. Although most of his time was spent in war, humans were a kind of emotional creature. If one stayed in any place for too long, they would feel nostalgic. Maybe it's nothing, but when you leave. . . This feeling will surge into your heart like a tide, and you will not be able to stop it.
"It's so late. The Marshal hasn't fallen asleep yet. Is there something on his mind?"
Hearing the voice, Dou Tianlai naturally knew who had come. He said with a smile. "Didn't you also not sleep?"
The person who came was none other than the Great Chu's Divine Broken Bao Hong. Although he had predicted that there would be a huge change in the palace, when he rushed to the palace in a hurry, it was inevitable that everything would happen. Knowing that it was impossible to defy the will of the heavens, Bao Hong could only smile sadly and return to the army in dire straits. It had already been more than three months.
Time would heal all wounds. Now, whenever he thought of Chu Feng, although Bao Hong would feel sad in his heart, it would never be as painful as the first time. Time would heal all wounds. These words were right, but also wrong. There was at least one person who Bao Hong knew that the injuries in his heart would never heal. That was Marshal Dou Tianlai.
Although the two of them might not be able to deal with each other in life, when one person died forever, what was left for the other person was endless loneliness. That kind of feeling was much more painful than death.
"The night is long and I don't have the mood to sleep. Coincidentally, I saw that the marshal wasn't sleeping either, so I came over to ask. " Bao Hong sighed and said, "It has been so long. Is the marshal still reminiscing about the former emperor?"
He heard Dou Tianlai snorting lightly. "In my heart, those who can bear the title of the former emperor are worthy of the title. There will always be only one person. Is that little brat even worthy? "
"If that is the case, how do you know that the previous emperor that I am referring to is His Majesty Chu Feng?"
Bao Hong cursed in his heart, but he did not expose it. He smiled and said: "If I do not miss my old friend, then why is the marshal so worried?"
Dou Tianlai was silent. After a long time, he sighed and looked at Bao Hong playfully. "As expected of the god of Great Chu. Nothing can hide from your eyes. "
Bao Hong smiled bitterly. "What the eyes see is only the surface. The thing that people can't understand the most in this world is the human heart. "
"Human heart?" Dou Tianlai smiled and asked back. "With your ability to break the Hidden Dragon Rank, can't you see through it?"
"Of course not. " Bao Hong shook his head and said with a slightly disappointed tone: "If I can really see through the heart, I am afraid it will not be the heart. "
After that, the two of them did not speak anymore. Only the sound of patrolling soldiers stepping on the snow could be heard.
"Tomorrow, I have to leave this place. "
Dou Tianlai stretched out his hand to catch a few pieces of falling snow and let it melt in his palm. He said calmly.
Bao Hong thought for a while and said: "Such a big thing happened in the palace. Marshal should go back and take a look. "
"Yes, it's getting late. It's better to return to camp and rest as soon as possible. "
Dou Tianlai turned around and pretended that he was not in the mood to say something. "After I leave, Ji Kang will temporarily be the Marshal. This kid has a straightforward mind and is wise and decisive. He is very talented in leading the army and is a rare commander. You all must be good assistants. Don't hold a grudge because he is from the Soong Kingdom. Remember this. "
"Hidden Dragon Mark!" Bao Hong cupped his hands and said solemnly.
Dou Tianlai responded faintly and walked towards the commander camp, looking at his tall and straight back. Bao Hong's nose suddenly turned sour. Two lines of hot tears flowed down his cheeks slowly.
The next morning, Dou Tianlai walked out of the camp as usual. However, today, he did not wear the Golden Chain Armor that he liked the most. He was still wearing a thin green shirt, which looked extraordinary in the heavy snow.
