Cypress Boat Floating

The situation in the capital was like a fog, complicated and treacherous, with various forces fighting each other in secret. However, in this turbulent situation, Beiguan presented a peaceful and harmonious scene because of Qian Hongzhen's perseverance.

At the same time, Lu Ciqiu listened to Ye Jianqing's advice and stayed in Beiguan to train hard and study diligently, hoping to return to the capital as soon as possible to make military achievements and help his second brother. Time flies, and the days pass by like flowing water.

In the blink of an eye, it was the 64th year of Da'an. There was no final conclusion on Lu Zhixing's murder of the emperor. After much investigation, it was found that he had nothing to do with the matter and that he did not purchase the poison. So Lu Zhixing was released from the dark prison. But at this moment, he had become notorious in the court and lost his former prestige. Those who had followed him changed their minds and joined the prince.

In the 66th year of Da'an, a strong earthquake struck Shu, causing severe damage. Countless houses collapsed, and the people were forced to leave their homes and wander around. The surviving refugees traveled through mountains and rivers, experienced untold hardships, and continued to flock to the capital to seek shelter.

Seeing this, Lu Zhixing stepped forward and volunteered to go to Shu to provide disaster relief. Who would have thought that he would encounter an aftershock on the way to provide disaster relief, and was unfortunately buried under the rubble, and his life or death is still unknown. When the concubine Shu, who had knelt down in the ice and snow to beg for mercy for Lu Zhixing and became injured and sick, heard the news, she was filled with grief and anger, and passed away before she could even breathe.

Time flies, and after the baptism and tempering of the war in the past few years, Lu Ci Qiu is no longer the Wuxia Amon of the past. He gradually took off his immature coat and became more resolute and courageous; in many fierce battles with the Desert Army, he led the troops and fought bravely, showing extraordinary courage and wisdom; on weekdays, he often led the soldiers to exercise together with Ye Jianqing, Qian Hongzhen and other generals, and his military ability was increasingly improved, and his leadership became more prominent.

However, when the heartbreaking news came from the capital, his heart was still as painful as being pierced by thousands of arrows. The family he tried every means to protect ended up repeating the mistakes of his previous life. In his grief, he even wanted to go back to the capital to bury his mother, but at this time, he had already lost his original immaturity and felt that he was already a qualified soldier. He used the last bit of his reason to control himself. Before receiving the imperial edict from his father to return to the capital, he must not leave Beiguan without authorization, and he must not leave the post he was currently holding on to. This was the last thing he could do for Lu Zhixing.

Unable to leave Beiguan and return to the capital to attend his mother's funeral, he could only light a perpetual lamp for his mother who had loved him for many years in the far north. As soon as the perpetual lamp was lit and Lu Ciqiu had just regained control of himself, he received another heartbreaking news - Lu Zhixing's life or death in Shu was unknown.

When the news came out, Lu Ci Qiu almost couldn't control himself again. He wished he could grow wings and fly to Shu to save Lu Zhixing. However, the impulsive and reckless boy had already grown into a real soldier in the harsh environment of yellow sand. He was well aware of the burden on his shoulders and his responsibilities. Not leaving easily was his last insistence.

Everyone said that Lu Zhixing had died in Shu, but only Lu Ciqiu believed that Lu Zhixing would not die there so easily. That was not Lu Zhixing's final destination. He always believed that he could not leave and could only pray for Lu Zhixing at Beiguan day after day, hoping that God would keep him safe. He had already lost a mother and could not lose another brother.

Seeing Lu Ci Qiu so calm and steady, Ye Jianqing felt extremely relieved. Lu Ci Qiu had persisted for so many years, and she was the one who least wanted Lu Ci Qiu to give up all his efforts. Only she knew how much effort Lu Ci Qiu had put in to get to where he is today.

That night, everything was silent, and the moonlight sprinkled on the earth like water. Ye Jianqing stood quietly in front of Lu Ciqiu's tent, like a firm sculpture.

Inside the tent, Lu Ci Qiu knelt silently on the ground, clasped his hands together, and prayed devoutly for the safety and happiness of his family far away. Outside the tent, Ye Jianqing silently guarded him, his heart full of concern and worry for him.

As time went by, the night became darker and darker, and the world seemed to be shrouded in a thick black fog. Standing outside, Ye Jianqing gradually felt a wave of fatigue coming over her. Her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and her brain began to become confused. This sudden sleepiness surprised her, because she had clearly had enough rest in the past two days and should not be so exhausted.

Ye Jianqing immediately became alert, realizing that someone might have secretly used some means to try to make her fall into a coma. However, when she looked around, she did not find any abnormal signs. This made her wonder what caused her to be in this state?

Just as she was thinking hard, suddenly, there was a loud "bang" from the tent, and then a figure fell heavily to the ground. Ye Jianqing's heart tightened. She knew that Lu Ciqiu was the only one in the tent. How could she not be worried when such a thing happened at this moment? So, she lifted the curtain of the tent without hesitation and hurriedly walked in.

The moment she stepped into the tent, the sight that came into her eyes made Ye Jianqing extremely anxious—Lu Ci Qiu had actually fallen face down on the ground! She hurried forward and wanted to help him up and check on him. However, just as she squatted down and was about to reach out to help Lu Ci Qiu, she suddenly felt dizzy. She felt a mess in her mind, and her eyes suddenly went dark. Her body involuntarily fell forward, and she eventually lost consciousness and fainted on the ground.

Her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, as if they were carrying a heavy burden and it was difficult to lift them. Her body was more like it had been beaten up, and it was sore and painful. Since her soul had perfectly merged with this body, Ye Jianqing had hardly ever felt so weak and powerless. However, at this moment, the various signals sent by her body kept reminding her that something was wrong.

Suddenly, she realized that she was not lying on the hard ground in the tent, but a strange soft touch. It only took Ye Jianqing three seconds to make her chaotic brain completely sober. Although her consciousness had been restored, she still did not dare to open her eyes easily before she figured out the surrounding situation.

Last night, Lu Ci Qiu fainted on the ground first, and then she lost consciousness after entering the tent. This series of events made her more and more convinced that someone must have taken advantage of Lu Ci Qiu's low mood to launch an attack. The biggest suspect is undoubtedly the desert side. If this is true, then at this moment, they may have fallen into the control of the desert army?

But on second thought, it didn't make sense. Desert soldiers were known for their cruelty, so how could they be so kind to prisoners? Not only did they provide such a comfortable and soft bed for them to sleep on, but it even exuded an intoxicating fragrance. Ye Jianqing couldn't help but feel puzzled.

At this moment, a faint, familiar scent of gardenia entered her nose. It was a scent she had not smelled for a long time, but it was deeply imprinted in her heart. This discovery surprised her.

Suddenly, a pleasant and familiar female voice came into her ears: "Girl, you have been sleeping for so long. If you don't wake up, the prince will be worried to death. He has been guarding you recently and has never left. It's strange, why hasn't he come for so long today?" It turned out to be Yuqin's voice!

How could Yuqin appear in Beiguan? Sleeping? What was going on? What happened? This familiar voice, this kind of intimate breath, savoring it carefully, the familiar touch under the body is clearly the bed where she slept in the Xianwang Mansion for two whole years!

What is the reason for this? Could it be that... I was reborn again?

Ye Jianqing was filled with astonishment and shock! Could it be that she really had a new life? Then, was Lu Ciqiu, who could also be reborn, also reborn? Where was he now? Her heart was filled with countless doubts that needed to be answered, but at this time and place, she could not find anyone who could give her a definite answer.
