Chapter 1395: Han Banner World (Eighty-Five) Choice

Pengcheng, post house, Shuyu was restless, her heart was beating like a deer, as if she had returned to her youth, the feeling of being about to see her lover. The crisp sound of ding-ding coming from outside the house made her involuntarily recall many years ago, in the palace of King Yan, she was huddled in the corner, and it was only when she heard the crisp sound of iron feet stepping on the ground that she raised her head, and then she saw the eye-catching iron feet and the resolute face.

Although they had been together for only a month, the shadow of that person was deeply engraved in her heart. At that time, she was disheartened and felt that life was worse than death. It was the enlightenment and humorous words of this seemingly cold general along the way that aroused her desire for rebirth.

At this moment, the crisp voice that had lingered in my dream countless times rang out outside the house again. Shuyu stood up, sat down, stood up again, and walked around the house uneasily.

The outline of a figure was projected on the white paper stuck on the door by the lantern hanging in the corridor. The figure raised his hand and bent his middle finger, as if he wanted to knock on the door. Shuyu's heart was pounding, expecting and a little flustered.

The hand was raised, but then put down.

Shuyu's heart suddenly became confused.

I like him, but does he like me? Yes, when my father decided to choose a son-in-law for me, I bravely expressed my thoughts and got my father's permission to send people to the Han Kingdom to propose marriage, and the Han Kingdom immediately agreed. But as a princess, Shuyu naturally understood that this kind of marriage had a lot of political factors in it. The infantry might only agree to marry me because of political factors, but is this really what I want?

For a moment, Shuyu was in a state of confusion, looking at the figure. She only thought of him stretching out his finger to knock on the door.

But the figure finally put down his raised hand, and his body slowly turned around. There was a crisp sound of a foot stepping, and he was actually leaving.

The sound of ding ding ding rang again, and Shuyu could no longer bear it. He put his hands on the door, and with a creak, the door was opened.

The footman paused. He turned around slowly. Under the light, Shuyu stood in front of the door with a pair of big watery eyes, staring at him without blinking.

The two looked at each other, and for a moment, they didn't know what to say, but felt extremely embarrassed. After a while. The infantry coughed lightly and was about to speak, but Shuyu had already spoken first.

"You're here?"

"Yeah!"

"Sit in the room!"

"Okay!"

After the two lines of dialogue,

the two stayed there again. After standing for a moment, the infantryman took a deep breath, stepped onto the steps, and leaned slightly to make way.

The infantryman looked at the woman in front of him. Compared with a few years ago, this woman no longer looked haggard and frightened. At that time, she was like a fragile porcelain doll, which seemed to be broken with a slight touch. Now, the woman standing in front of him was round and smooth, exuding the charm of a mature woman.

She will become his wife! The infantryman thought in his heart that a few years ago, they had been together for thousands of miles, and the woman in front of him had left a deep mark in his heart, or pity, or perhaps admiration. In short, over the years, he always recalled those frightened eyes. During the long journey, only when he appeared in front of her could she feel calm.

The infantryman, who had been in the army and rarely came into contact with women, suddenly felt a desire to protect that woman at that moment. Over the years, it's not that no one has proposed marriage to me. On the contrary, there are many. I hold a high position in the Han State, hold a large number of troops, and am deeply trusted by the king. I am also a bachelor. Many of those who came out of Fufeng together now have three wives and four concubines, and I am the only one who is still single. Those who proposed marriage were rejected by me without exception, because every time I think of that pair of eyes.

The infantry secretly asked Zhang Yi's wife Cui'er, who was also an old woman from Fufeng. Cui'er smiled and told me that you like that woman. Cui'er also chased and asked who this woman was, wanting to be a matchmaker for me, but I couldn't tell her that this woman was a princess of the Chu State. She was of noble birth and had a golden branch and jade leaf, but I was an orphan and came from a poor family. No matter how you look at it, the two of them are two parallel lines in the world that will never communicate. More importantly, Han and Chu are in opposition, and the king wants to unify the world. In this process, he must go to war with the Chu State. How can I pursue a princess of the Chu State!

But happiness came from the sky. That day, the king sent someone to tell him that the King of Chu wanted to marry Princess Shuyu, which almost made him faint with happiness.

But happiness came too suddenly, which always made the infantry feel unreal. Later, the development of things was just as the infantry expected. Good things always take time. This time, he came to the city not only to welcome the bride.

The Han-Chu war will break out in full. The steps of the Han Dynasty to destroy Chu have been firmly taken forward and can never be taken back.

If she knows this, will she still like him? If she knows what she is about to do, will she be free of grudges?

"Infantry, you can refuse this action. You are my old brother. I won't make it difficult for you. If you don't want to, I can postpone the attack for a few days, so that you can marry Shuyu smoothly and then fight again." The king said to himself before leaving.

How can major military affairs be changed due to one's own reasons? If you do what the king said, when the Han Dynasty's river navy launched at the same time in the south of Qin, Pengcheng delayed the attack because of himself, which means that Pengcheng There will be enough time to prepare, and this will make the Han army pay more blood.

"Your Majesty, the infantry will not abandon public service for personal reasons." The infantry bowed deeply to Gao Yuan, then turned and left.

"Infantry, do you like me? Will you marry me?" The voice in his ear woke up the infantry who was immersed in memories. He looked at Shuyu's eyes opposite him. At this moment, he looked at those eyes again. I saw panic.

His body shook slightly, the infantryman stared at those eyes and nodded affirmatively, "Yes, I like it. Over the years, I have not married because I can't forget you, but I never dared to think that I could really marry you, because you are like The bright moon in the sky, but I am just a torch on the ground. Although I want to use the temperature of the torch to warm the moonlight, it is only in a dream!"

Listening to the words of the infantryman, Shuyu's shoulders shook violently, and tears flowed from his eyes, which were of joy, "Don't you dislike me for being a fallen flower?"

The infantryman laughed, raised his left foot, and paused heavily on the ground, "Don't you dislike me for being a cripple?"

The two looked at each other and laughed in unison.

"When I was in Fufeng, I dreamed of having a woman, as long as it was a woman. There are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is not having children. At that time, I just wanted to marry a woman, just a woman." He smiled and said, "But at that time, even this was a luxury, because I can't support myself. And no woman would like me, a poor man with no roof and no land."

Shuyu's eyelashes were stained with crystal tears, "In the past few years, I have taken good care of myself. I can give birth to a baby for you, and I am also very well taken care of."

The infantryman took a step forward and stretched out his hand: "Shuyu, are you willing to marry me? No matter what happens, are you willing to follow me and never leave me?"

"I do!" Shuyu nodded vigorously and affirmed. She stretched out her hand and placed it in the infantry's big hand. Her big hand covered the small hand. Shuyu felt the impact of those big hands. Her warmth was just like the moment those hands firmly lifted her up from that corner many years ago.

At that moment, she felt safe.

At this moment, she felt happiness.

Holding the little hand, the infantryman led Shuyu to the window, opened the window, and looked up at the bright moonlight in the sky. The posthouse was very quiet at the moment, but the infantryman knew that the silence would soon be broken.

Shuyu gently rested his head on the infantryman's shoulder and closed his eyes.

The ground was shaking slightly, and the infantrymen had already felt it, but Shuyu, who was leaning on his shoulder, was still immersed in happiness and did not feel anything strange at all.

The shaking sound gradually became louder. From the chaos at the beginning, it became neat and uniform, which made the shaking sound on the ground even louder. Smoke and dust rose up in the distance, rising higher and higher, and finally filled the air and covered the full moon in the sky.

Shuyu finally felt something strange. She opened her eyes and looked at the bright moon in the sky that suddenly became dim in surprise.

"It's begun!" the infantryman murmured.

"What started?" Shuyu looked at the infantry and asked softly.

"The war between the Han and the Chu State has begun." The infantryman lowered his head and stared at Shuyu, "Starting today, the three armies of the Han Kingdom, from both land and water routes, have officially launched a war against the Chu State. Shuyu, this is a war. A war to destroy the country, a war to the death.”

Shuyu's body suddenly stiffened, his mouth opened wide, and he looked at the infantry.

A loud bell rang on the city wall of Pengcheng. The bell rang nine times in a row. It paused for a moment, then nine times again, paused for a while, and then rang nine more times. This was the highest level of alarm. In an instant, the sound of enemy attacks resounded throughout the city.

Chaos also broke out in the post house, and fully armed Han soldiers rushed out from each room. Obviously, they had been prepared. On the belt on each person's waist, there was only one thing in the sewn leather bag. Thing, grenade. Each person also carried a leather bag in his hand, which also contained grenades.

"General Bu, the posthouse has been fully controlled by us, and we are now waiting for the general's order." An officer said loudly.

The infantryman let go of Shuyu's hand and took a step back slowly, "Shuyu, forgive me, first of all I am the general of the Han Dynasty, and then I can become your husband. After this battle, if you are still willing to marry me, I will marry you and go home." (To be continued.)
