Chapter 338 Don't Want Me Anymore
Hearing this, Wen En subconsciously avoided Wen Wan's gaze.
He lowered his head guiltily, as if this question was very difficult for him.
He was the last person to meet King Anding, and the five mineral veins in the no-man's land were indeed included in the ceasefire agreement.
So far, he has never revealed anything about the agreement reached between Wen En and King Anding.
Silence gradually spread, and for a moment, it seemed to become substantial, like a high wall, standing between the two of them.
After a long time, Winn sighed softly.
"Sister," he said, his voice choking, "I can't tell you now. But sister, you must believe me, everything I do is for... for..."
For what, he still couldn't say.
She smiled gently and said, "Well, for you, family, country and the world have always been the most important. I don't blame you."
This is true for Shen Yu and Wen En, both of them are entangled with too many shackles of identity.
"Sister, I'm not..." Wen En wanted to say something, but his eyes darkened and he lowered his head again.
A cool breeze blew, and waves of grass rustled across the grass.
Wen Wan turned her back and walked towards the warhorse drinking water by the stream, and her voice came slowly.
"Everyone has their own aspirations, and I always hope that you can all achieve your wishes. So, don't worry, I really understand."
It’s just that after understanding it, my heart felt empty for a moment.
Wen En looked up and saw Wen Wan already sitting on the horse. He was anxious and ran to her.
He gripped the reins pitifully, "Sister, are you leaving now?"
Wen Wan looked down at him, raised her hand and rubbed his head, and said gently:
“All good things must come to an end.”
When they were leaving, she didn't dare to say much, for fear that every extra word she said would make her feel more reluctant to leave.
Winn held onto the reins, reluctant to let go.
In the past two years, he has grown a lot taller and is no longer the skinny boy when we first met. Now he is much taller than the horse's back.
But despite his tall stature, he looked like an abandoned wolf at this moment. He stared at Wen Wan without blinking, and there was nothing but sadness in his eyes.
Sadness of separation, because separation is painful.
He caused a huge uproar in Fengcheng all night just to see her again.
How could she repay this kindness?
Wen Wan's eyes turned red for a moment, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Yes, yes," she choked, gently touching his head, "Sister, can I ask you for a favor?"
Wen En's eyes also turned red. He nodded and said angrily, "Sister, you know I will agree to whatever you say."
Sorry Enen, at this time, she still wants to plot against you again.
Wen Wan was not surprised by his answer.
She sniffed and said solemnly, "Yes, yes, promise me that after returning to Mobei, you will find a kind-hearted and intelligent woman, marry her and have children."
Wen Wan knew that this request was undoubtedly like rubbing salt into his wounds.
But she hopes he can have a chance to be happy.
He always has to take the first step to know whether there is someone who can bring him happiness on the road ahead, right?
What if there is a girl who can appear beside him and do everything she can to melt the shackles in his heart?
Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, she will be the executioner and take a chance.
After he finished speaking, the expression on Winn's face instantly cracked.
He seemed to be torn to pieces, and a gust of wind could blow away his body.
"elder sister……"
He suddenly burst into tears, and was afraid that she would see the most embarrassing scene, so he quickly lowered his head.
"Sister, is this what you asked me to do? Get me away from you completely!"
Wen Wan was stunned, and suddenly felt a sense of regret in her heart. Did she do something wrong?
“Yeah…”
Wen En still buried his head, laughed sadly, and said with a sob:
"Sister, my name is Yu Qiting. My last name is not Wen, and my name is not Enen."
After saying this, his slender fingers trembled and he slowly loosened the reins.
He raised his hand and patted the horse's back, and the horse ran out with Wen Wan.
Wen Wan gripped the reins tightly and only had time to look back.
In the sunshine, the man standing by the stream finally raised his head. The iron-blooded man's face was covered with tear marks, and crystal tears finally dripped down his chin.
Did she do something wrong...
Many years later, Wen Wan would still wake up from nightmares in the middle of the night.
In the dream, the tall man questioned her over and over again while crying.
"Sister, you don't want me anymore, do you?"
*
After Fengcheng was disturbed by bandits, the city has become much more deserted in the past few days.
Many shops were closed, and the people also locked their doors, fearing that there were still bandits left in the city.
Wen Wan found a secluded inn to stay in. Like ordinary people, she did not go out for the past few days.
There were many people from other places in the inn like her. After staying at home for several days, the guests became more familiar with each other.
Living in the house next to Wen Wan's was a group of traveling merchants who sold medicinal herbs.
Early that morning, Wen Wan was having breakfast in the front hall when she saw the caravan owner hurried in with a smile on his face.
"The government said that the bandits have been completely eliminated and everyone can go out and do business normally."
He then instructed the manager of the caravan, "Find out all the old mountain ginseng we have and come with me to the City Lord's Mansion. The Lord is buying old mountain ginseng at a high price in the city.
"By the way, we should take as much as we can. The adults said we should take as much as we can."
Wen Wan was not originally interested in these business matters.
Until they mentioned someone.
"Why do you adults want to collect so much old mountain ginseng?"
"You've heard of General He, right? He was the former garrison commander of Fengcheng. He was later promoted and returned to the Imperial Capital to report on his duties."
"I heard that General He was seriously injured and urgently needs a large amount of old mountain ginseng to save his life."
"I also heard that when General He was found, both his legs were broken and he fainted on the riverbank. Luckily, a passing fisherman in a boat rescued him, otherwise he wouldn't have survived!"
The people next door were still sighing, but Wen Wan put down her bowl and chopsticks with a sullen face.
Wen Wan was not surprised that He Qing was released.
But, his legs were broken? She remembered that He Qing's legs were injured in the valley, but they shouldn't be broken.
Could it be that Winn broke his legs?
Given Winn's temper, it's not impossible.
Logically speaking, He Qing deserved it if he lost his legs or even died.
But when Wen Wan heard the news, she was not very happy, but was frightened instead.
She felt a surge of irritation for no apparent reason, as if everything that had happened during this period was moving in a certain direction...
I hope she is overthinking it.
Wen Wan frowned and was about to get up and go back to the house.
Suddenly, the inn was surrounded by the border town guards.
He Miao strode over angrily, and when she saw Wen Wan, she sneered:
"Finally found you. This time, no one can save you!"
