Chapter 92 "I was wrong."
Today, Jingce and his group arrived at Yunnan Pass exhausted.
Chu Mo had captured Wu Qien and others the day before and imprisoned them in the dungeon.
At this time, he was discussing war with the generals.
Hearing that Jing Ce had arrived outside the military camp, Chu Mo glanced at everyone and said solemnly: "Go and welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"yes!"
The group of people were wearing armor, which made a "clicking" sound when they walked, emitting a faint cold light, and the conspicuous knife and sword marks were engraved on their bodies like medals.
When he arrived at the gate of the military camp, he happened to see Jing Ce directing the soldiers to carry food and grass. Chu Mo smiled, strode forward, clasped his fists and knelt on one knee: "General Chu Mo, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The generals behind him said in unison: "This lowly general pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Then the soldiers all said in unison: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Jing Ce stepped forward and helped Chu Mo up, his voice gentle and powerful: "Everyone, please stand up quickly."
After seeing everyone stand up, Jing Ce cast his eyes on Chu Mo: "I heard that, let's talk alone."
"good."
The two of them went to the tent that had been set up for Jing Ce in advance. Without anyone around, Chu Mo felt much more relaxed and smiled: "Long time no see."
"It's been a long time." Jing Ce asked, "When did you come back from Qing County?"
Chu Mo: "The day before yesterday."
"Any news about Tuoba Xun?"
Chu Mo shook his head and said as he poured him some tea: "I only know that he left the grassland a few days ago."
I even don’t know whether I am alive or dead now, or whether I finally left the grassland.
Since they parted at the Yunze Lake that day, Chu Mo had not received any message from him. Even the news of his leaving the grassland was reported back by Chu Lei.
Tuoba Xun may have made up his mind not to contact them until the war is over.
Jing Ce exhaled slowly: "No matter what, there will be no danger."
Tuoba Xun was not a reckless person. He had made arrangements before taking action. For him, leaving the grassland was not difficult.
He thought for a moment and asked again: "What are your plans next?"
Chu Mo gently put down the teacup and looked sideways towards the grassland: "Declare war."
Jing Ce was slightly surprised: "So anxious."
"Before His Highness came, we had already made all the preparations." Chu Mo explained, "Your Highness is the east wind. Now that the east wind has arrived, why wait any longer?"
Jing Ce lowered his eyes to look at the tea. His face was reflected in the water. Under the glittering water, a gleam of light seemed to flash in his eyes: "That makes sense, but..."
"General Chu must have other reasons." He raised his eyes, his narrow eyes fixed on Chu Mo, the coldness in his pupils was not concealed: "Don't tell me?"
Amber eyes have a natural gentleness and warmth, like the setting sun, the curling smoke, and the warm orange light filling the sky and the world.
But at this moment, the Crown Prince's eyes seemed to be tempered with polar ice, stabbing at the other party mercilessly like a knife.
When the young man, who always had a smile on his face, turned cold, the air froze.
Even Chu Mo had to slow down his breathing.
He raised his eyes and met Jing Ce's gloomy face, then stopped smiling, his face full of solemnity, and he said confidently: "Your Highness should have guessed something after reading the letter."
Jing Ce sneered and said nothing.
Chu Mo pursed his lips, and finally couldn't help but asked: "Is the little princess okay?"
"What do you think?"
"She wasn't feeling well a few days ago." Chu Mo lowered his eyes, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his voice was hoarse: "But... I don't know the reason."
"Because of a dream." Jing Ce said in a deep voice: "Just because of a dream, Xiuxiu... cried uncontrollably and was in great pain."
For a moment, Chu Mo felt as if his heart was pierced, and the injuries he suffered on the battlefield seemed insignificant.
His chest was heaving violently and he couldn't calm down. He opened his lips slightly, as if he wanted to ask something, but stopped.
"What's even more ridiculous is..." Jing Ce locked his eyes on him and said word by word, "She even forgot everything in the dream, even the person in the dream, but she is still in so much pain."
Chu Mo's eyes suddenly widened, and he murmured in disbelief: "Forgot?"
"Why? Blame her?"
Chu Mo hurriedly shook his head. An urge to return to Beijing immediately suddenly surged into his heart, but he was suppressed tightly. In the end, he could only clench his fists and try his best to suppress the trembling: "But what happened?"
“No.”
Jing Ce understood Chu Mo and knew that he was really worried and anxious, so he suppressed his anger: "I went to see Master Su Xuan, and he is fine."
"Master Su Xuan..." Chu Mo murmured softly, thinking in his heart: Su Xuan reversed is Xuan Su...Xuan Su.
Is that the weirdo?
He didn't ask, knowing that the matter would not have much impact.
Jing Ce: "Chu Mo, I have a question for you."
Whenever the prince called himself "Gu" or just called him by his name, it was no small matter.
Chu Mo also knew what he wanted to ask, and said bluntly without any hesitation: "I like it."
He looked at Jing Ce steadily, his peach blossom eyes full of determination: "I like her, I like... the little princess."
"Just because of a dream?" Jing Ce asked in a deep voice.
"No." Chu Mo pursed his lips, his dark eyes full of bitterness: "I have liked her... for many years."
Jing Ce was stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "...What did you say?"
"Your Highness, the little princess likes the color blue, likes delicious food, loves fish the most, but is most afraid of fish and is afraid of the cold."
"She is the best at her studies and the best at needlework."
"She is spoiled and cute, smart and clever, generous and frank. She is as warm as a little sun and as bright as the bright moon."
"Your Highness, I will remember what you said. From the beginning to the end, I have liked her."
“…I like it very much.”
Jing Ce's throat seemed to be blocked by something and he remained speechless for a long time.
He had always thought that Chu Mo never cared about what he had said, but now...
Jing Ce was known for his intelligence and figured everything out in the blink of an eye.
——The reason why he liked her but didn’t say it was that it was a time of war, and Chu Mo was fully focused on the war and had no energy left to pay attention to the budding love of a young man.
——The reason why I didn’t tell you later was even simpler.
Jing Ce smiled bitterly in his heart. Yes, if he could guess it, how could Chu Mo not know it?
He knew that he had to guard the gate and had no ability to express his love.
Therefore, the young man's first love was poured over with a basin of cold water, extinguishing all the enthusiasm.
From then on, I have been enduring the pain of secret love and the sorrow of missing you alone.
Love that is thousands of miles apart...how sad would that be?
Jing Ce's Adam's apple rolled, and his fingertips trembled slightly: "I was wrong."
Chu Mo was stunned.
"If I hadn't said it in front of you..."
"Your Highness!" Chu Mo suddenly shouted, his face looking very ugly: "What are you talking about?!"
Jing Ce stared at him in amazement.
A fire burned in those beautiful peach blossom eyes, and she vented her anger without any concealment, no longer having the calmness and smile of the past.
"From the beginning to the end, I have been thanking you." Chu Mo gritted his teeth and said word by word: "If it weren't for you, the little princess and I might never have met."
"Your Highness...Brother Shu." His voice trembled a little: "You can't say that."
"I can't imagine what would happen if I didn't meet her. Of course, she is your sister, and I will get to know her no matter what, but I won't know her preferences and personality, and in the end, maybe we will just go our separate ways."
"You made me know the princess who is like a little sun. You brought warmth and light to the sea of blood and corpses, and made the battlefield filled with gentle breezes and fragrant aromas."
"Your Highness, I have always been grateful to you." Chu Mo said: "Do you understand?"
Meeting his dark eyes, Jing Ce was unable to come back to his senses for a long time. His throat seemed to be choked and he couldn't utter a single word.
After a long time, he lowered his eyes slightly and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, San'er."
"…I was thinking about it wrongly."
Chu Mo exhaled lightly: "So, do you agree with our business?"
“Of course…” Suddenly, Jing Ce’s eyes twitched, and he said hatefully: “No, I’m scolding you. You kidnapped my sister without telling anyone. Do you want to die?!”
Chu Mo: “…Tsk.”
"Anyway, my sister has forgotten you now."
Chu Mo: “…”
Another big knife.
Jing Ce looked at his lost look, and a smile spread across his lips: "Are you giving up?"
"How is that possible?!" Chu Mo's voice was deep, powerful, and gentle: "It doesn't matter if you forget. I will pursue her again and get to know her again. This is also good."
Jing Ce nodded with satisfaction.
The prince was filled with malice and did not want to tell Chu Mo that Xuanxuan already knew that the person in her dream was him.
He looked quietly at the great general who had become famous at a young age.
The young man has grown up and is no longer a boy, but in his dark eyes there is a deep and undisguised love that he never had even in his youth.
——Just as he thought back then, handing Xuanxuan over to Chu Mo was really an excellent decision.
