Each world be

Chapter 153 Extra 1

Everyone in the capital knew that the great general appointed by the emperor himself had gone insane.

On the first day back in the capital, he caused a scene in the Su family mourning hall, forcibly opened the coffin and took away the body of Mr. Su's wife, who had died of illness shortly after they got married.

On the second day, he knelt outside the Golden Palace for a long time and refused to get up, begging the emperor to grant him a marriage with the deceased Second Miss Shen, using all his military achievements.

The emperor was moved by his sincerity and really agreed to his request, and also retained his general's position and residence.

On the third day, the people heard that General Xue held a wedding for himself and Miss Shen Er in there.

On the fourth day, the coffin was finally buried, but no one knew where it was buried.

Later, General Xue returned to the northwest and spent the rest of his life guarding the frontier. As long as he was there, the Hu people were like mice seeing a cat, and they would be scared and flee back to their caves when they saw Dachen's flags from afar.

However, General Xue would return to the capital on a fixed day every year without exception.

General Xue's fame became more and more famous in the army, the court and even among the people. Everyone who heard him would praise him as "brave and good at fighting" and "invincible."

As for the incident at the mourning hall that year, people initially speculated about the relationship between General Xue and Second Miss Shen.

There are all kinds of versions of the story, such as love at first sight, a hero saving a beauty, and breaking class barriers in pursuit of free love. Someone even wrote a book based on their story. It is so popular.

The story of the two gradually became a folk legend, but it also added a touch of mystery and romance to the majestic General Xue.

As for what the original story was like, no one knows except the parties involved.

In addition to this incident, another strange thing is the Jishidiang pharmacy in the capital.

But it's not really surprising.

Before, Jishidiang was shabby and old, and it hasn't changed much now.

I just heard from people that there was a girl named Qiuyue in the pharmacy, and General Xue appeared there again.

So, some people spread the rumor that General Xue must have fallen in love with the lively and clever Miss Qiuyue. At this time, others objected, saying that General Xue fell in love with the skilled doctor Ding.

There are many different opinions, and no one can reach a conclusion.

But later, General Xue never married anyone and lived alone until his death. Everyone was convinced that he still loved the second Miss Shen.

Moreover, some people came forward to prove that they had drunk the porridge served by General Xue himself and the medicine given by Miss Shen Er.

People are more convinced that General Xue is an affectionate person.

Xue Zhao distributed most of the silver to Jishidiang and his mother, leaving only a little for himself.

At that time, he begged the emperor to grant him marriage, and the emperor agreed, on the condition that he would guard the border for twenty years.

There was no longer any girl worth caring about in the capital, so he took an indifferent attitude and stayed at the border willingly or perhaps boredly.

Sometimes, he would hate himself. If he had not left the capital at that time, would the ending be different?

But sometimes, he hated Shi Qing's ruthlessness.

She had chosen a way out for everyone. She gave Qiuyue silver and a contract to sell her body, allowing her to freely choose the rest of her life. She also left Ding Fuling a large sum of money to treat illnesses and save lives. She taught him the art of war, which helped him rise step by step and become a qualified general.

But she had made no arrangements for herself.

Every spring when he returned to Beijing to worship, he would never tire of recalling over and over again what Qiuyue had told him.

On the day he left the capital, Shi Qing cried and begged her brother to secretly go out of the house to see him off for the last time.

At the end of the year, she knelt in the ancestral hall and prayed to God over and over again that he would be safe.

Imprisoned in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she had no freedom, and the depression she had been feeling for a long time finally came flooding back the moment she heard the bad news.

After recovering from a serious illness, she was forced to get into a bridal sedan and was imprisoned from one cage to another.

In the end, he died of depression.

The day before he returned to Beijing, the day before they were about to meet again, when he was looking forward to marrying her with great joy, she was gone.

It's only one day away.

He never saw her again.

Just one day left.

He would be able to see her.

They didn't even have a formal goodbye. The last time he saw her was her receding back that day.

Whenever Xue Zhao thought about it, he would feel regretful.

If he had not chosen to leave the capital, if the avalanche had not happened, she might not have fallen ill.

Xue Zhao looked at the white handkerchief and the yellowed and wrinkled letter, and a strong feeling of helplessness and bitterness surged in his heart.

He couldn't help but wonder, was it just like what was written in this letter, when she first prayed for blessings in Jinyun Temple, that she never prayed for him?

Many years later, Xue Zhao looked at the moonlight in the desert and sighed deeply.

Life is like a dream, how much joy can we have?

If there is an afterlife, he will never let her go.

"He's running over there, chase him!"

Xue Zhao was startled and looked around blankly at the snow-covered ground. The Hu people and soldiers were fighting fiercely, and he was riding a horse with a spear in his hand.

And they were chasing the Hu leader who was running away.

Isn’t that where the avalanche happened in front of us?

Xue Zhao's heart tightened, and he reined in his horse urgently, turning around and looking back, "There's danger ahead, stop immediately!"

The soldiers trusted him immensely, and although they were puzzled, they still stopped in a hurry.

In an instant, the mountain in front of them slid down like a white wave. Everyone stared with wide eyes and immediately retreated. In a moment, the road they were supposed to pass was covered by ice and snow.

The soldiers were still in shock and felt a little scared.

Fortunately, Xue Zhao discovered it in time, otherwise they would have died.

Xue Zhao was stunned by the sound of his heartbeat like a drum in his chest. This was exactly the same as the memory in his mind.

Is he reborn?

Even though he had personally experienced an avalanche, Xue Zhao's heart was still deeply shocked when this disaster happened before his eyes, and he once again realized how insignificant humans are in the face of nature.

Things in the world are impermanent, and all living beings are ants.

After this incident, Xue Zhao once again found out the man behind the scenes, Li Yi. Just like in his previous life, Li Yi was stripped of his military position and punished.

Before Zhao Kan could speak, Xue Zhao proposed to take the initiative to attack the Hu people so that they would never dare to invade again.

In his previous life, Xue Zhao had guarded the border all his life and knew the Hu people very well. This time, he easily defeated them and made them retreat step by step, which frightened them.

If Shi Qing had avoided the avalanche this time, she would not have vomited blood and become ill due to the severe shock, and she would not have been married into the Su family before her illness was healed and died of depression.

Moreover, the issue of the Hu people was resolved more than ten days earlier, and Xue Zhao would be able to return to the capital soon.

Just like in his previous life, he knelt in the hall again and begged the emperor to grant him marriage. Fortunately, Shi Qing was still unmarried.

As soon as he left the palace, he took his men and rode his horse to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

_

In the back garden of the Shen residence, a slender young man in sharp men's clothes was acting suspiciously. He hunched his body, hiding behind a rockery and looking around.

Perhaps seeing that no one was around, he took off the bag he was carrying, weighed it up and down, and threw it violently. The bag turned into a perfect parabola, and a thud sounded outside.

He pushed on his toes, flipped over and jumped onto the wall. His movements were neat and clean, and it was obvious that practice makes perfect.

On the high red wall, the young man suddenly turned his head to look at the Shen Mansion, raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

I saw that this boy was not the same boy. He had a pair of pure and clear autumn eyes, a fair and beautiful face that was bright and charming, and thin lips that were naturally red, outlining a faint smile.

This is clearly a woman dressed in men's clothing!

Shi Qing snorted, turned around, jumped down from the wall, landed lightly on the ground, bent down to pick up the bag, and walked to the street with confidence.

After hearing about the upcoming marriage, she pretended to be sick and waited until the prime minister let his guard down before sneaking out.

No one can force her to get married, huh.

Arriving a little early, Shi Qing decided to have a big meal at a restaurant first, and then buy a fast horse to leave the city.

Once she leaves the capital, the sky will be high for birds to fly freely and the sea will be wide for fish to jump freely. No one can restrict her, whether she travels around or practices medicine.

When Shi Qing thought of the free and easy days, he couldn't suppress a smile.
