Chapter 157: The Broken Membrane
Chapter 157 The broken membrane
The snow on the willow bridge, and the two lovers who are in love with each other are black and white.
Li Ke and Changsun Bingning were immersed in each other's memories. They had a lot to say to each other, but they didn't know how to speak.
"How are you doing this year?" Li Ke was silent for a moment and finally broke the tranquility.
"There is nothing good or bad to do things you don't like in places you don't like." Changsun Bingning said quietly, "Where are you?"
"I am just fulfilling my mission. The purpose of living is to live well." Li Ke's tone revealed an indescribable vicissitudes.
"Li Ke."
"oh."
"Are you still wearing it?" Changsun Bingning discovered the sachet on Li Ke's waist, and his heart felt hot, and a cold tone revealed a sense of unconcealable tenderness.
"When I was on the mission to the Turks, I put it in the drawer of the study because I didn't want it to experience war and killing like me. After returning to Chang'an, I was sick all the time. After recovering from the illness, something happened. It was not until yesterday that I took it out and put it on my waist." Li Ke said very casually, but Changsun Bingning could hear his deep love for him from his words.
"I don't want it to experience war and killing like me." Changsun Bingning murmured to herself, "What he said is me! He means to let me not continue to play in "Tang" and let me withdraw from "Tang"?" Changsun Bingning thought so, and suddenly felt a warm current surge in her heart, "I know." She said with a sob, and then found that she was not strong enough to shed tears for such a sentence.
Li Ke didn't expect that his words would make Changsun Bingning react so much. He seemed a little helpless and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Bingning, you--don't cry, you..." Li Ke hurriedly took out the brocade handed her with her and handed it to her, but unexpectedly Changsun Bingning did not answer. She was indifferent to Li Ke's kindness. Li Ke had no choice but to pull Changsun Bingning's delicate body gently and wiped away the tears from her cheeks with the brocade hand. "What are you crying? It won't look good if you cry, and you will become ugly if you cry again."
"You have become an ugly monster!" Changsun Bingning was amused by Li Ke's words. She said coquettishly, "I knew you had nothing good to say." Then she buried her head in Li Ke's arms with a blushing face.
Just now, the feelings between Li Ke and Changsun Bingning for each other were like hymens, and neither of them was willing to take the initiative to express their longing for each other. Now, because of Li Ke’s words, Changsun Bingning was crying, and the hymen-like emotions were exposed, and the two had no scruples and hugged each other.
"Bingning, do you know? After you left Chang'an, I was very worried about you. Every time I miss you, I would not be able to stare at the south sky. At that time, I was thinking, if I were a cloud, I would not move with the wind, because the person I followed would always be you." Li Ke could no longer hide his feelings for Changsun Bingning and expressed his inner thoughts.
"I know, really, Li Ke, I know you will miss me." Changsun Bingning said in a low voice, "Do you know, when I was in Jiangnan, I was worried about you every day, and I was thinking about what you were doing this day. Do you know, when I heard the news that you were going to the Turkic mission, my heart suddenly felt so painful, because I knew you were going to Mobei and to suffer in the cold grassland. At that time, I was thinking that if I were in Chang'an, I would definitely accompany you to the Turkic City. So I rushed to Chang'an City without stopping, but something happened on the way. When I returned to Chang'an after I got it done, I realized that you were intercepted by the Zuo Xianwang of the Turkic King on the way back to Tang. Li Ke, do you know how worried I am? Do you know how much I regret? I regret leaving Chang'an so arrogantly and regret not going to the Turkic with you."
"Silly girl, don't you think I'm fine now?" Li Ke was moved by Changsun Bingning's words. Although Changsun Bingning said it was very plain, he knew that her words contained all her longing for him. He stroked Changsun Bingning's cheeks with tears in his arms, and said in a low voice but powerful voice, "Bingning, we won't leave in the future, right?"
"Yes, I won't leave you." Changsun Bing paused, "Unless I die."
"Silly girl, don't talk nonsense. We won't separate, and you won't die." Li Ke's tone was firm and unquestionable.
"Yes, we won't be separated." Changsun Bingning repeated affectionately. She found that no place could make her feel safer than Li Ke's arms. "Li Ke, Bingning once left and traveled thousands of mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River. However, since I met you, I found that you are the warmest dawn in my life in more than ten years. Even if you will be gray in a few years, I am willing to follow you, turn into the sunset together, and never leave you."
"I know, Bing Ning, I know what you said is true." Li Ke glanced at the woman who was nestled in his arms like a bird. He suddenly made a decision. At this time, what he showed was the murderous aura that only would be when facing a strong enemy, which made Changsun Bing Ning in her arms feel inexplicably fear. "Don't worry, Bing Ning, from now on, no one can stop us." Li Ke's tone was sonorous and powerful, "The sparks in your eyes once made me fascinated, and your heart now made me no longer confused about love. Bing Ning, if you believe me, I will definitely use the accumulated feelings to turn into that moment of affectionate gaze, keep you in my heart forever, and will not let anyone hurt you again."
"Your Highness--" Changsun Bingning cried. She no longer called Li Ke's name Wei. She cried like a little girl who was bullied by others and cried very sadly. "Your Highness--" Her voice was soft but could not hide the faint joy in her tone. Decades of expectation, years of loneliness and persistence, and years of waiting alone, today I finally encountered a harbor where my heart could be safely docked. Changsun Bingning had never cried like today, nor had she ever been as happy as today.
"Silly girl, I just told you not to cry anymore, as if you cry, you will become ugly. Why are you crying again?" Li Ke gently wiped the tears on her cheeks with his hand and smiled, "Don't you like winter, don't you like snow? Let me accompany you this winter. When it snows, we will build snowmen outside the city to play snowball fights."
"Yeah." Changsun Bingning nodded obediently and agreed, like a child who had something delicious but was reluctant to leave the store, still buried his head in Li Ke's arms. Li Ke enjoyed Changsun Bingning's gentle obedientness and a tranquility in the snow on the Liuqiao. The two hugged each other and were quiet in happiness.
Time froze in the tenderness of the two, and the picture was frozen in this moment. Li Ke and Changsun Bingning hugged each other for a long time. They both wanted to incorporate their long-lasting longing into each other's bodies.
After a while, the two finally separated. Li Ke looked at Changsun Bingning with a shy face. At this time, there was no such thing as the romantic and elegant woman who used to dress as a man. She was like a happy young wife who had just been married.
"Let's go back?" Li Ke looked at the sky. The sky was gloomy, and the sun was still blocked by dark clouds. The air conditioning flowing in the air hits the face, giving people the feeling of falling into an ice cave.
"Yeah." Changsun Bingning answered obediently. When she decided to hand over her heart to Li Ke, she still removed the strong and cold face she disguised for protecting herself. She was originally a woman and also needed the care and protection of men. No matter how she disguised her strong purpose was just to protect herself from harm. Now, Li Ke has become a harbor that she can rely on and trust. Li Ke can protect her, so why should she disguise?
Li Ke and Changsun Bingning walked across Liuqiao hand in hand. Li Ke said to Wang Zhongchang, the commander of the black-clothed guard, "Let's go back to the city."
"No." Wang Zhongchang replied, and the black guards did not show any surprise or confusion about Li Ke's actions. They were concerned about Li Ke's safety, and nothing else was wrong in their eyes.
Li Ke and Changsun Bingning galloped along the Chang'an official road surrounded by black guards. Changsun Bingning contacted the black guard at such a close distance for the first time. She couldn't help but be amazed by the strength of the tiger guard in front of her. At the same time, she was even more surprised that Li Ke's mansion was really hidden and lying on the tiger, how to train such elite soldiers. In Changsun Bingning's view, the black guard in front of her was no less than the Tang Dynasty's secret guard system "Tang". She knew what the members of the Tang Dynasty were at their own level.
Those people are elites who have passed strict selection in the various guard systems, and then passed the layers of tests through various skills training types, and eliminated them all the way. Such talents are difficult to form without five or six years and have the ability to detect, assassinate, lurk, and defend the secret guard system. However, Li Ke's black guard was not long after its establishment, but she had the strength comparable to the members of the "Tang". She couldn't help but feel happy that Li Ke had such strength around her.
Li Ke saw Changsun Bingning who was silent on the side and said, "Bingning, what's wrong with you? I haven't spoken for a long time, are you worried?"
"No, I just suddenly realized that the black-clothed guard had such strong strength." Changsun Bingning said seriously, "I really want to see the general who can train such an elite tiger guard."
Li Ke could understand Changsun Bingning's mentality at this time. As the leader of the "Tang" in the Tang Dynasty secret guard system, Changsun Bingning did have the ability to convince the public among men, and she often took pride in her heart. However, today I suddenly found that there was an Eagle Guard around Li Ke who could train people who were no less than her. How could she not have the idea of seeing and discussing with him? Although she was a little woman who liked to let him spoil him in front of others, she would definitely be the cold Changsun Bingning in front of others.
"Yes, you will definitely see him in a few days." Li Ke laughed. When talking about Chen Qi, who was able to train a powerful Eagle Guard elite like the "Tang", he did not hide his preference for Chen Qi at all.
"Stop, who are you? How to block the official road?" Just as Li Ke and Changsun Bingning chatted, the eagle guard in front suddenly stopped.
"You are the Eagle Guards of His Highness the King of Han?" the girl asked in a pleasant voice, "We are the frame of the Hou Mansion. Our lady is going back to her hometown to burn incense on the old lady's grave. I hope you will give us a way to pass."
The conversation between the girl and the Eagle Guard in front of him, Li Ke and Changsun Bingning heard the words in his ears. The frame of the Hou Mansion? Li Ke's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He looked at Changsun Bingning, who was as calm as water, and then wondered, was it Ruoyi? It seemed that her biological mother had passed away and was buried in her hometown of Binzhou.
