They were not children anymore. In the isolated Ghost Valley, they could indulge wildly, be extremely entangled, but after leaving the valley, their identities had not changed at all.
Even that immortal pill was gone.
Zong Luo couldn’t talk about regret, but under the current situation, unless Yu Beizhou was willing to go to Emperor Yuan with him after the war and explain the causes and consequences. Otherwise, no matter how attracted they were to each other, it’s useless to be infatuated.
He didn’t say this, Yu Beizhou also understood it.
This was a cage created by this person, built with all the power and jewels.
Even when he was dying, he told the truth, those were not what Zong Luo thought were given, but what he really wanted to give him, but Zong Luo didn’t want them.
The bell still needed to be untied by the person who tied it.
Zong Luo was forcing Yu Beizhou. Force him to take back everything by himself, otherwise when returning to the Imperial City, even if he could refuse a marriage once, he couldn’t refuse the second time, the third time.
But even if Yu Beizhou took back everything, he might anger Emperor Yuan, he might die, the crown prince might become Yu Beizhou, and then let Yu Beizhou repeat this process or another possibility, they all would let go of everything.
In the future, no matter what happened, Zong Luo was willing to bear it together with Yu Beizhou.
When the hatred that spanned two lifetimes became a joke, it’s naturally hard to accept. The immortal pill that meant letting go before death had already surprised Zong Luo. But letting Yu Beizhou live and give up these things, it’s probably more uncomfortable than letting him die.
Thus Zong Luo waited patiently. Whether it’s love or hate, from then on, being unrelated strangers was also acceptable.
A life-and-death situation had smoothed out those proud edges, but a definitive answer was still needed.
In the Ghost Valley, and even on the way back, Zong Luo turned a blind eye.
But when it came to the seriousness of the military camp, Yu Beizhou was still so casual, and he could no longer tolerate it.
If he didn’t give him an answer, Zong Luo would really turn and not recognize people.
“What’s the point of saying these unpleasant words so early in the morning, Senior brother?”
Yu Beizhou’s voice was vague, and he hugged the person tighter, leaned over and stole a kiss.
He rubbed suggestively, expressing his enthusiasm.
However, Zong Luo coldly brushed off his hand and got up to dress directly.
A pair of hot hands came around from behind, easily gathering up that smooth silver-white hair. Obviously, some people didn’t like the evaluation of “poor skills”, whether it’s the skill of combing hair or other skills, they had to do their best to satisfy, only then were they willing to spare the senior brother.
While combing his hair, Yu Beizhou bit the hair tie and casually said, “Didn’t Senior brother say before, don’t talk about personal affairs on the battlefield, so why are you so obsessed with this issue?”
Zong Luo was stunned.
He did say that, but it was in Bai City, while talking to Pei Qianxue.
Who would have thought, unexpectedly this guy Yu Beizhou heard it.
Is this guy really so haunting?
“……..”
He paused.
“You promised me in the Ghost Valley.”
On the last day before leaving the valley, in front of the peach blossom wooden stakes, Yu Beizhou also used the same rhetoric to prevaricate him. Saying that discussing such a topic in this situation was very spoiling the scenery, and then probably because he was too tight under the anger, he added a sentence that if it was the last time, the senior brother should be more enthusiastic and proactive.
Of course, it had been proven that it was not the last time Zong Luo thought it would be.
There were many more times when they returned to the military camp, on horseback, and camping in the grasslands.
Just like Yu Beizhou now, he would never admit that it was just him wanting to tease his senior brother, watching the crown prince in white struggling up and down, embarrassed to the point where his toes curled up, and the blush spread from the corner of his eyes to his neck.
If he said this, he would be beaten to death on the spot, he still had this self-awareness.
So Yu Beizhou very cooperatively and untraceably skipped over this topic. “Tomorrow, this Junior brother will be leading the charge, if we can take down the Wei Country, what reward will Senior brother give to Junior brother?”
Tomorrow is the final battle against the Wei Country. If we win, we win completely.
However, it’s hard to say what decisive results can be achieved in a battle against a fully armed mechanical city. After discussion among the generals of Great Yuan, they are all prepared for a protracted war.
This means that other matters will be discussed after the end of the battlefield.
Even if he had some complaints about Yu Beizhou’s diversion of the topic and delay, as the main general, Zong Luo had to admit that what this person said made sense.
He was really influenced by Yu Beizhou’s love brain full of waste on the battlefield.
Of course, this was also the last concession.
Their issues were far from resolved. Scars and gaps either heal or were cut off, they would not change because of indulgence.
Zong Luo gave Yu Beizhou a deep look, suppressed the irritability affected by emotions, and said lightly, “Let’s see your performance.”
