Chapter 66 Chapter 66 She is more dazzling than the moonlight

Xie Heng couldn't sleep, so he climbed up the city wall and drank alone with the strongest wine in Liangzhou.

Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that after everything was settled, Yan Gui felt very upset when he saw that his old friend who had fought side by side with him in the past had now become a traitor and would be executed tomorrow.

She wanted to go up to the city wall to get some fresh air.

From a distance, they saw Xie Heng taking off his armor. The young man was dressed in red and looked stunning, his figure under the moonlight was very free and easy.

His black hair was tied up high and fluttered in the wind. He sat on the city wall, supporting himself with one hand on the wall that had been smoothed by the wind and frost of time.

Even though the sound of footsteps was obscured by the sobbing wind, Xie Heng could still make out the sounds: "It's so late, why isn't Ah Gui asleep yet?"

Yan Gui had long been accustomed to Xie Heng's outstanding hearing ability: "Brother Yu Ran hasn't slept either? And he doesn't look very happy."

"I remember when the Jin people came with great force, all parties came to support Liangzhou, and the relationship between us and the six ministries was as close as brothers." Xie Heng raised his head and drank the strong liquor, letting the alcohol burn his throat.

He sighed, "Now everything is gone, and everything has changed."

Yan Gui uncorked the wine jug beside him and touched Xie Heng's with it: "Brother Yu Ran, I'll drink with you!"

The two of them looked out from the city wall at the lights of thousands of homes in Liangzhou and the endless desert.

I feel sad and lonely.

"Ah Gui," Xie Heng looked at her handsome face beneath her heroic demeanor, "There's going to be a war in the border town. I have to go back tomorrow."

Yan Gui raised her eyes and met Xie Heng's. After a long moment, she lowered her gaze and raised her glass to drink. "I'll wait for someone from the imperial court to arrive before returning to Dongmen Pass."

In the end, I didn't know how to say all the words, so I just let them melt into the wine.

Let today's bright moon and fine wine enter his heart.

After three rounds of drinking, I was quite drunk when I returned from the banquet.

"Xie Heng, I don't know...when...we will meet again." Yan Gui's face flushed easily after drinking, and her face became more and more red.

Suddenly, Yan Gui pointed at the moon and said in a voice that was completely different from the usually decisive and ruthless General Yan: "Xie Yuran, look, the moon is so beautiful."

Xie Heng looked up and wanted to say, "Isn't it the same as before?"

When he saw Xiang Yan returning, he couldn't help but stare in amazement.

It is red in the moonlight, like an apple.

Xie Heng's throat slid for a moment, and when their eyes met, Xie Heng felt in a trance that Agui was brighter than the moon.

"We will meet again." Xie Heng felt as if a feather was gently brushing against his heart. Perhaps it was because the winter night in Liangzhou Wei was a little hot, or perhaps Xie Heng had a fever tonight.

My face was blushing uncontrollably.

Yan Gui's long eyelashes flickered slightly when he saw Xie Heng trying to escape.

She suddenly grabbed Xie Heng's sleeve and looked at him as if she had finally made a decision.

Yan Gui took a deep breath, and she stood on tiptoe and kissed him without hesitation.

This kiss was something Xie Heng had not expected. He felt Yan Gui breaking through the window paper between them.

Maybe it's regret, maybe it's worry.

Soon, Yan Gui regained some consciousness and she raised her hand to touch her lips helplessly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I drank too much. Brother Yu Ran, please go to bed early. I... I'm leaving first."

Suddenly, Xie Heng grabbed her wrist and kissed her without hesitation.

The two people clumsily and tenderly tried to transform the love hidden in their hearts bit by bit into a tender and passionate kiss.

Until a team of guards who thought Xie Heng had left came up to take over their shift and saw the scene they shouldn't have seen.

Only then did they realize how ridiculous what they had just done was!

On the way back to the tent, neither of them spoke until Yan Gui stopped and said, "Hey... I'm here."

Xie Heng originally followed Yan Gui with his head down, his mind was like a ball of hemp rope and he couldn't figure out what to say.

"Oh..." He smiled awkwardly, "Then Ah Gui... go to bed early."

Yan Gui nodded, pursed his lips and smiled awkwardly, digging his toes into the ground: "Well, Brother Yu Ran should also rest early."

When Yan Gui was about to enter the tent, Xie Heng suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Ah Gui, we... who are we?"

Yan Gui pulled aside the curtain of the tent and looked at Xie Heng: "Comrades who lived and died together, colleagues who served in the same court..."

Xie Heng nodded, feeling somewhat inexplicably troubled. When he turned around, his back looked slightly dejected. "I understand."

"Xie Heng." Yan Gui was not stupid, she knew exactly what Xie Heng meant, but now that they were separated by two places and wars were frequent, no one had the mind to talk about love.

The young man turned around, his eyes bright, perhaps because the night was too dark, and asked, "Hmm?"

"Have a safe journey and return triumphantly soon."

Xie Heng curled his lips in relief: "Then, shall we drink all night long?"

"Okay, then it's settled!" Yan Gui's brows relaxed, his usual sharpness and aggressiveness faded away, and a bit of vagueness and thoughtfulness appeared.

The next day, as the war between the border town and Nanqing was imminent, Xie Heng slept for an hour before mustering his troops and hurriedly setting off.

He left without saying goodbye to them.

Chen Rang didn't want Susu to stay in Liangzhou any longer, so he woke Susu up early and asked Cuicui to come in to pack their bags and prepare to leave after breakfast.

Even in Liangzhou and in the military camp, the meals Shen Rang prepared for her were all to her liking.

For example, a bowl of freshly steamed cheese is soft and rich, and it feels very comfortable to eat after eating it.

Although the delicacies on the table were not as good as usual, they were all very appetizing except for the bowl of bitter medicine that was an eyesore.

When they set off, Yan Gui saw them off to the gate of Liangzhou City.

"Your Highness, Lord Shen, take care."

Yuan Susu noticed with her sharp eyes that Yan Gui had several wounds on his lips. From her God's perspective, she was naturally very supportive of their couple.

"Hey, what's wrong with General Yan's mouth?" Yuan Susu teased her, pretending to be ignorant.

Yan Gui raised his hand and touched it, his face calm and his heart steady as he said, "Oh, I haven't been to Liangzhou for a long time and the weather is dry and I'm getting hot."

"So you're just getting angry?" Yuan Susu whispered to Yan Gui, "If you hadn't told me, I would have thought General Yan had been having an affair lately~"

Yan Gui blushed and looked at Su Su with obvious helplessness.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I won't tell anyone, but~" Su Su blinked and added fuel to the fire, "I think Xie Heng likes you too."

"We're off, General Yan, see you next time!"

The wheels of the carriage left traces on the sand, leaving Yan Gui mumbling to himself: "Xie Heng... likes... me?!"

Seeing Su Su so happy, Shen Rang asked, "What's wrong? General Yan and Xie Heng are together?"

Yuan Susu didn’t want to say it, but was shocked at how Shen Rang knew this: “How did you know?!”

"Have you forgotten that I have also read the script..."

Oh yeah, he not only read the script but even filmed it.

"But there's one thing I don't understand," Shen Rang said casually, twirling his fingertips. "Why do we look similar to Lin Zhuo in the real world? In fact, Lin Zhuo and I are almost 100% similar, but other characters don't look like the actors in real life?"

This is also a question that Yuan Susu has never figured out since she traveled into the script for so long.

Although Shen Rang really didn't want to bring it up, he had to ask in order to resolve this confusion: "So... is it possible that Lin Zhuo also traveled through time?"

Yuan Susu's eyes lit up: "Oh, that's right! Doesn't that mean I, Yuan Susu, have kissed someone in my lifetime..."

"Say it again." The corners of Shen Rang's eyes were bloodshot, his tone was cold and calm, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging and clenched into fists.

Su Su immediately pinched her mouth, which was not thinking, and shook her head to signal Shen Rang to continue.

"If everyone else besides the three of us are scripted NPCs..." Shen Rang quickly overturned his theory, "This plot has already deviated significantly from the original script. If you really think about it carefully, the three of us are the main factor causing the script to deviate."

"Chen Rang, do you have a system? Do you have a mission?" Yuan Susu suddenly remembered the system that she hadn't called out for a long time.

"System? Mission? What mission?" Shen Rang obviously didn't know.

Yuan Susu didn't tell Shen Rang about her mission. "The system told me at the time that the male protagonist liked me because a consciousness from another world had awakened in this script world, and our energy was too great and could easily cause the collapse of this world, so Xie Heng fell in love with me by accident."

"But how are we going to go back? Are we going to spend our whole lives here?" Shen Rang's voice was hoarse and slightly bitter.

Su Su was not as eager to leave as before, but instead became more and more integrated into this kind of life.

She didn't care at all as she set up the mahjong table and prepared to call her friends over to help her relax: "What's wrong with spending a lifetime together?"

Chen Rang was a little surprised to see Su Su's reaction. He vaguely remembered how helpless she was when she huddled in a corner and cried like a tearful person after the eldest princess lost her memory.

He is completely different from the calm and proper way he handles national affairs now.

He felt inexplicably upset.

Suddenly, a buzzing sound in his head triggered tinnitus. He thought it was because he was too anxious in the past few days and his body couldn't bear it.

Yuan Susu noticed it and went over to support him: "Chen Rang, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm a little sleepy. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine after a good sleep." Shen Rang curled his lips to tell Su Su not to worry.

"Then I'll go with them to another carriage to play mahjong. You should rest well." Yuan Susu tucked the quilt into him and kissed him. "If you still feel uncomfortable, call the imperial physician for a consultation."

"Okay, ma'am, go ahead."

After a while, Shen Rang was half asleep and half awake.

Suddenly I heard a strange movement in my head.

[System: Ding Dong, hello host, I'm late...]

Shen Rang felt like he was in a nightmare. He asked, "Who? Come out!"

[System: Host, I am the system that traveled through the book world. Because your consciousness suddenly awakened and your personality and appearance are highly similar to those of the original owner, Shen Rang, you can possess Shen Rang's memories and emotions.]

Shen Rang frowned suddenly: "I am Shen Rang."

[System: But you are also Shen Xingchi, but none of this matters. Host, your mission after traveling back is...]

Shen Rang suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with gloom. He looked at the system floating in the air with increasing disgust: "Absolutely impossible!!"

[System: Then you will have no choice but to remain in this book-traveling world, allowing your main consciousness to merge into Shen Rang and begin again.]

"Start over? Does that mean everything will go back to the beginning?" Shen Ran frowned.

【System: Yes.】

Shen Rang was silent for a long time, his jaw clenched and his back looked a little lonely: "I can't do the task you want me to do. Is there no other way to leave?"

[System: Uh...it has been taken away by host Yuan Susu.]

When Shen Rang heard the word "Susu", he raised his eyes and asked, "What is Susu's mission?"

[System: Sorry, this needs to be kept confidential.]

"If we all complete our mission and travel back in time, will we still have our current memories?"
