Chapter 420 (1/2)
Huashan, Chaoyang peak.
A melodious sound of the piano is passing through a giant juniper tree pine, which is echoing constantly in the sky of Huashan Mountain. In the open space among the strange woods, a woman in white is sitting on a stone plate with her knees crossed, playing a beautiful movement on the Guqin which is on her knees. Beside the woman in white, another well-dressed man was sitting on the ground beside the stone plate, listening to the music and raising the wine gourd from time to time to drink wine.
This well-dressed man was no one else. He was supposed to be the world's first general, Chen Ren, who was supposed to lead his troops to Hangu pass to make a final attack on Cao Cao of Chang'an. The woman beside him who played for him was Cai Yan, who stayed in Xianmen ten years ago.
Cai Yan moved his hands dexterously on the strings of the guqin, but his beautiful eyes often looked at Chen Ren, who was listening to the music with his eyes closed. Every time he saw Chen Ren's mediocre appearance, Cai Yan's cheeks could not help smearing a touch of ruddy. Although he is more than 30 years old, there is no trace of years on Cai Yan's face. He is still like a young girl in her twenties. If there is any difference, it is that Cai Yan is a little more mature and charming than those girls. Now that she has a little more ruddy, she is more charming and charming.
At the end of the song, Chen Ren also poured the last drop of wine in the gourd into his stomach and slowly opened his eyes. Only at the moment when he opened his eyes, a light shot from his eyes, but soon disappeared. Chen Ren smiles and says, ”ah! The song has been broken, the wine is also light! It seems that it's time for me to go! ”
Hearing Chen Ren's last words, Cai Yan's delicate body was shocked and her face became pale. Chen Ren stood up, because he was directly sitting on the ground, so the back of his clothes was stained with a lot of soil. Chen Ren stretched out his hand and patted behind him. He turned to Cai Yan and said with a smile, ”Yan'er, this is the 35th time I have asked you. Would you like to go back to Jianye with me?”
At this time, Cai Yan was not as elegant as he had just been. Instead, he lowered his head and stroked the strings of the Jiaowei Qin with his hand. The smile on Chen Ren's face suddenly turned into a bitter smile, shook his head and said: ”I understand your feelings for me, and I think you know your feelings for you. Besides, Yueying and I have made it clear to me. They all welcome you to go. But every time I ask you, I always refuse to agree. It has been ten years. Even if you want to be filial to Uncle Cai, it's too early? ”
Cai Yan's face showed a trace of sadness, and his beautiful and moving eyes were suddenly filled with crystal clear tears. Cai Yan's red lips lit up and said in a soft voice: ”Zici, I know you are good to me. However, I am a hard-working man and a concubine, but you are the great governor of Dongwu. How can I deserve you?”
”Bullshit!” Chen Ren suddenly threw the wine gourd out of his hand and roared, ”every time you rejected me, I didn't want to force you to do what you wanted! But I can't stand it any more today! What a miserable life! What can't deserve it! I only know that I like you, and you like me! Why can't I be with you? If I can't be with the people I like, what's the use of me being such a damned governor! ”
Cai Yan seems to be frightened by Chen Ren's sudden outburst of madness. In her impression, Chen Ren is a calm and modest gentleman under any circumstances. She has never seen such a crazy Chen Ren.
Chen Ren, however, did not care whether Cai Yan was frightened or not. After a few shouts, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Cai Yan with a very strange smile and said, ”do you know, Yan'er, since I became an official, I have never done one thing before! Do you know what it is? ”
Cai Yan had never seen Chen Ren look like this. All his previous wit was useless. He could only subconsciously reply, ”what's the matter?”
