"Do you still keep those letters?" Shen Yan asked.
Yan Linger nodded vigorously several times.
She knew that those things were preserved by Fu Zhou at the cost of his life. Even though she was severely tortured by the Third Young Master, she gritted her teeth and did not reveal a single word about the letters.
Shen Yan's eyes fell on the suffering woman in front of him, and he slowed down his voice: "Can you give it to me?"
Yan Ling'er burst into tears.
She nodded and wrote a line on the paper -
"Okay, but you have to promise me that you will keep Fu Zhou's body for me."
Shen Yan sighed in his heart and agreed solemnly.
"In the name of the Qingyun Army, I agree to your request."
Yan Ling'er finally laughed.
Her eyes suddenly shone with endless brilliance, as if she had returned to the year when she first met Fu Zhou.
Yan Linger ran under the bed, climbed in and tinkered with it for a while.
After a while, it came out again.
In her hand was a thin stack of letter paper, which she handed to Shen Yan with a very sincere look.
These days, she lived like a walking corpse, until this moment, Yan Linger felt truly liberated.
She took a long breath and wrote on the paper again: "Thank you."
Chen Yan said: "No, it should be me who thanked you for the people of Lizhou City and the Great Yong Dynasty."
Yan Linger smiled. She watched Chen Yan leave with the letter before she burned the white paper she had just written.
Watching the sparks jumping up and down, her eyes seemed to be burning with such flames.
There was a smile on her lips and her expression was peaceful and gentle.
The fire gradually filled the room, and the flames rolled over and spread along the gauze on her body.
Yan Ling'er was still smiling and slowly closed her eyes.
In the darkness, she seemed to see her general again.
Riding a horse, looking very excited.
His eyes were still gentle as he lowered them. He looked at her and smiled gently, "The girl's piano sound is very pure. I like it very much."
Fu Zhou, I’m here to see you.
The flames swept across and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, like the restrained and affectionate kiss the man gave her when he left that night.
The raging flames burned away all the darkness and filth, and also completely devoured the beautiful woman's figure.
…
…
Shen Yan realized something was wrong after he walked some distance away.
Yan Linger loves Fu Zhou so much, why does she only want him to collect Fu Zhou's body? What about her?
His heart skipped a beat when he recalled the relieved smile on the woman's face before she left.
not good!
Chen Yan and Ye Wu immediately rushed back.
But it was too late. Yan Ling'er should have been prepared, and the villa was burned down in a short time.
Thick smoke billowed, and Shen Yan stared at the fire for a long time without saying a word.
He should have realized earlier that Yan Ling'er was determined to die, perhaps he could have stopped her.
But even if we can stop it once, we can't stop it the second or third time.
Perhaps, this is also their best destination.
Ye Wudao: "Major General, it's time to go back."
There was wind blowing across Chen Yan's sleeves. He was stunned for a moment and said softly, "The world before life was too dirty. After death, I will turn into a storm and cleanse this world myself."
-
Shen Yan came back very late.
After he cleaned up, he walked back to his room very lightly. When he reached the bed, he found that Lu Wan was still awake.
Lu Wan was so sleepy that she lowered her head a little bit. When she saw him, she rubbed her eyes and called out, "Brother Ayan, you're back."
Shen Yan asked: "Why haven't you slept yet?"
"I couldn't sleep," Lu Wan bit her lip, "I waited for a long time, but I didn't see you come back. I was worried that something happened to you."
In fact, she was just a little worried, mainly because she was afraid to be alone.
Shen Yan stared at her without saying a word.
Lu Wan sobered up a little and felt that Shen Yan was a little strange tonight.
I seem very tired, very exhausted, and also a little melancholy.
She raised her eyes, frowned and asked, "Brother Ayan, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Yan shook his head, "Nothing."
He didn't get into bed, but leaned against the bed, turned his head and kissed Lu Wan: "It's late, go to bed."
Lu Wan felt that he seemed to be in a bad mood.
It was the first time she saw Shen Yan like this, and she guessed that he must have encountered something not so nice.
It was rare that she didn't want to take the opportunity to make trouble and nodded obediently.
Under the moonlight, the boy's features were extremely handsome.
But his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was carrying an unresolvable sorrow, and his cheeks were stained with soot. Lu Wan handed him the handkerchief and whispered, "Are you really okay?"
Shen Yan suddenly grabbed her hand.
Before Lu Wan could react, he exerted force on his hands and brought her over.
He leaned his head against her neck and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Don't move."
"Let me hug you."
His voice became low, as if sad and in vain.
Lu Wan paused as she was about to push him away. During the moment of hesitation, Shen Yan hugged her tighter.
Chen Yan smelled the familiar fragrance of the girl in his arms, and his complicated mood finally found a moment of peace.
It's strange, he didn't care much about his fiancée before.
But at this moment, he just wanted to hug her.
"I have always thought," he said slowly after a while, "that I have done a good job as a major general."
Lu Wan subconsciously replied, "It was good to begin with."
"The people of Dayong all regard me as their protector," Shen Yan laughed softly, "but it wasn't until today that I realized that there are many things I am still powerless to do."
"If I had known about Lizhou City earlier, if I had come here earlier, would Fu Zhou and Yan Ling'er have survived?"
