Chapter 719: Go to Jianghu, go to my own world! I may not come back
As the night deepened, those who needed to leave had already left, and the servants in the palace had already started cleaning up the aftermath of the banquet.
In the huge banquet courtyard, only two people were left who had not yet left their seats, and no one dared to urge them to leave.
One person drank one cup after another, his face slightly pale, but not drunk at all; another person sat next to him and looked at him, his eyes full of helplessness.
With a light sigh, he said, "Nangongze alone can't take over the Chengfeng Army. You should set off with me tomorrow!"
The prince and princess have already gotten married, so it's time for him to give up completely.
The man opposite him put down his glass, paused for a moment, then looked up and asked him, "Miss Mei'er wants to stay in Kyoto to recruit female soldiers. What will happen to her if you go to the northwest?"
Zhen Li held the wine glass in his hand and said calmly, "She has her own ambitions and ideals, so she knows how to make choices. If a woman knows this, you should understand it, right?"
Beiji chuckled, poured another glass of wine and drank it all.
Of course he knew what he meant, "Don't worry, I will let it go, but it may take some time."
"Time? Half a year isn't enough. How much longer do you want?"
To forget someone, what you need is not time, but perhaps a new person.
"If you really can't forget it, then bury it deep in your heart and use other things to distract yourself."
Beiji glanced at him. Did he need to tell him this? Hadn't he been doing this for the past six months?
But the effect is very limited.
"Beiji, in this life, you will always meet someone who will know you and accompany you for the rest of your life. Since this person is destined to be impossible, you should make all preparations for the final person."
"You have to believe that what belongs to you will always be yours. She will appear inadvertently and be closely connected with your destiny. At that time, you will know that all your current entanglements are in vain!"
North and silence.
Zhenli stood up and drank the last glass of wine.
"The matter in Kyoto has come to an end for the time being. The Emperor has ordered me to return to the northwest early tomorrow morning. Although the Emperor has not restricted the time of your departure, you are, after all, a fourth-rank loyal and martial general. If you continue to stay in Kyoto, it will only make the Emperor suspicious of the prince."
Beiji didn't say anything and continued drinking.
"You should know that the prince knows your feelings for the princess, but this time, he still chose to let you return to the capital and never said a word about what happened between you and the princess. Have you ever thought about why?"
Bei Ji was stunned for a moment. He had some guesses but didn't say them out loud.
"If you think the prince asked you to return to the capital to show off the harmonious relationship between him and the princess and to assert his sovereignty, then you are completely wrong."
Beiji looked up, with some doubt in his eyes, wasn't there?
Seeing the doubt in his eyes, Zhen Li shook his head, "No, he asked you to come back, firstly because the Fourth Prince's rebellion really needed you, and secondly, he wanted you to let go of the knot in your heart."
"You fought desperately in the northwest. With the prince's intelligence, do you think he didn't know you were obsessed with the princess?"
"But even though he knew that, he still let you come back because he knows you too well! If you don't truly let go of this relationship, you might very well risk your life on the border. He also knows that in this world, only the princess can completely untie the knot in your heart."
"You know what? The princess kept you in the courtyard to talk that day, but the prince was actually outside the whole time."
Beiji's raised wine glass stopped in mid-air for a moment, and he stood up suddenly, looking at him in disbelief.
Is the prince outside? Did he hear everything the princess said?
"He heard everything the princess said."
Zhenli looked at him quietly and asked, "Beiji, can you understand the prince's intention?"
Beiji lowered his head and clenched the wine glass in his hand tightly.
"I'll be waiting for you outside the Shili Pavilion at noon tomorrow."
After saying the last sentence, Zhenli left.
Outside the front yard, a woman in a goose yellow dress stood there quietly waiting for him, and then the two left hand in hand.
Yi Meir looked back at the figure shrouded in sadness and asked worriedly, "Is it okay to leave him alone?"
Zhenli said calmly: "It's okay, he can do it."
-------------------------------------
Early in the morning, Beiji, dressed in white and leading a black steed, passed the gate of Prince Li's mansion. The red silk flowers still tied to the two stone lions reflected a dazzling red light in the first rays of morning sun.
The sentimental mood was finally dispelled by the hustle and bustle of life on the gradually clearing streets.
He mounted his horse and looked at the prosperous city with a reluctant look, saying his final goodbye to the people and things in his heart.
However, what he didn't expect was that when he arrived at the East City Gate, he actually saw Zhang Zhirou, who was dressed in red, had a high ponytail, and was quick and decisive.
She also rode a horse, with a sword and a bag on its back.
Zhang Zhirou also saw him.
Both of them saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"Miss Zhang." Beiji rode up to her and spoke first.
"General Bei." Zhang Zhirou also nodded at him. "Are you going back to the northwest?"
Beiji hummed, "What about you? Are you leaving?"
She looked slightly startled, then nodded.
"Where are you going? When will you be back? Does the princess know?"
He asked three questions in a row, which was enough to show that no matter what resolution he made, the concern in his heart could not be changed.
He could see that Zhang Zhirou's departure was probably not temporary.
Zhang Zhirou looked at him and a smile appeared on her face.
"I'm going to the Jianghu, to the world that belongs to me! Maybe I won't come back!"
"As for my sister..." Speaking of Shu He, she looked a little apologetic, "I left a letter for her."
She was afraid that if she said it to his face, he would be reluctant to leave...
Beiji had heard Nanqi, that big mouth, talk about Zhang Zhirou and Jiang Dongping. He guessed that she also wanted to go to another place to heal her wounds, right?
Although he really wanted her to stay and accompany that person, he couldn't say it.
"Miss Zhang, the world is vast and people's hearts are unpredictable. I hope you can take good care of yourself."
"But if one day you let go of the knot in your heart, I hope you can come back. The princess doesn't have many friends around her, and you are the most important one. I think she will also be looking forward to your early return!"
Zhang Zhirou smiled a slightly bitter smile, "General Bei, I also hope that you can break free from your inner prison as soon as possible, become famous throughout the world, and find your own happiness."
After leaving the city gate, the two men looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and then rode away in two different directions.
