Chapter 274: Open and Honest
On Luoyang Long Street, on the avenue leading to the palace, a young general wearing silver armor was driving a luxurious carriage slowly towards the palace, and sitting in the carriage was the Wannian Princess Liu screen.
Qin Hao did not send Liu Mu back to the palace in person, but asked Zhao Yun to take his place, which made Liu Mu unhappy but also vaguely regretful.
I finally improved my relationship with Qin Hao, but because of impulse, I touched his sad place. Will he blame me? It's all that woman's fault!
"General Zilong." Liu Mu opened the curtain and asked the general driving in front: "Is the fighting situation at Hulao Pass very dangerous?"
Zhao Yun did not look back, but replied respectfully while driving: "Princess, don't worry, with the lord and young master here, we can keep all the rebels out of Hulao Pass."
"Will Zixu go to the battlefield in person?"
"Zixu?" Zhao Yun was stunned and asked, "General, don't you recognize this person?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Mu frowned slightly, but then relaxed.
She knew that General Zhao Yun in front of her was the hero who saved the beauty in front of Yanmen Pass, and he was also the general most likely to become Qin Hao's brother-in-law.
But even Zhao Yun doesn't know Qin Hao's cousin, so will he be the first to know?
Liu Mu endured the joy in her heart and said with a smile: "Zixu is the cousin of your young master."
"That's it." Zhao Yun was stunned, then said truthfully: "I heard that in order to recapture Hulao Pass, the young master did not hesitate to fight Xiang Yu personally, and after the last general joined the Yanmen Army, the young master would command every battle. It’s not uncommon to go into battle personally.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Mu immediately asked eagerly: "But he is a general, what should I do if he is injured?"
"Princess is joking. As a soldier, it doesn't matter if you get injured."
Liu Mu was stunned, then returned to the car and murmured to himself: "He worked so hard for the big man, but I rubbed salt in his wounds. He must be very disappointed in me now."
Liu Mu now regrets why he asked Qin Hao such meaningless questions.
The hatred between the aristocratic family and the Yellow Turbans is as deep as the sea, but the Han Dynasty is inseparable. As a descendant of the aristocratic family, Qin Hao had an old relationship with Dongfang Sheng before, but it did not affect Qin Hao's position.
"I must apologize to him next time I see him. Zixu is not a stingy person and will definitely forgive me."
A strange look flashed in Liu Mu's eyes, and he said firmly: "Dongfang Sheng, let go, but I won't."
…
The backyard of Cai Mansion.
After beating Liu Mu away, Qin Hao did not leave. Instead, he stayed here, caressing the Jiaowei Qin, and the song he played was "Moonlight".
After playing the song, Qin Hao said calmly without looking back, "You're here!"
I don't know when, a girl wearing red clothes and holding a sword appeared behind Qin Hao. Who was she if she wasn't Dongfang Sheng?
"Yes." Dongfang Sheng looked at Qin Hao affectionately and said softly: "This song... is really nice."
She originally wanted to ask Qin Hao if this song was composed for herself, because the helpless sadness in the song was very consistent with the reality between the two.
But when the words came to his lips, Dongfang Sheng couldn't ask, how could he be qualified to let him do anything for him now?
The former lover became the fiancé of his enemy, which made Dongfang Sheng feel extremely painful.
"When did you come?" Qin Hao asked again.
After Dongfang Sheng paused for a moment, he answered truthfully: "I was there from the beginning."
"So you saw everything?"
Dongfang Sheng was silent, women are stingy animals, but Dongfang Sheng watched his lover exchange feelings with another woman, which shows how complicated Dongfang Sheng's mood is now.
It's hard to describe in words the feeling of having a beloved treasure taken away. In Liu Mu's case, Dongfang Sheng finally felt such a strong threat, so he lost his usual calmness.
"Liu Mu did not hesitate to put down the dignity of the princess for you, but I can't let go of the hatred in my heart." Dongfang Sheng's eyes were slightly red and he said bitterly: "She is more suitable for you than me."
"Are you..." Qin Hao was stunned, then chuckled: "Are you jealous?"
"..."
Seeing that Dongfang Sheng was silent, Qin Hao sighed and said, "Your plan this time is really beautiful. If it weren't for the fierce internal struggle of the Yellow Turbans, Huludao, I might not have been able to recapture Hulao Pass so easily."
Dongfang Sheng's eyes suddenly burned with anger, and he said coldly: "I have calculated this battle nearly a hundred times. I thought it was foolproof, but I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of the thief Huang Chao."
"Haha, wherever there are people there are struggles, and the Yellow Turbans are no exception."
Seeing that Dongfang Sheng's eyes never left him, Qin Hao couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever regretted leaving me?"
After Dongfang Sheng was silent for a while, he whispered: "Of course I regret it."
After leaving Qin Hao, Dongfang Sheng was nourished but not happy. Although Zhang Jiao treated her as his own, he could not replace Qin Hao's position in her heart.
For men, they can live without love, but they cannot live without career.
Women, on the other hand, can live without a career, but cannot live without love.
Dongfang Shengzai is no exception, but she is covered up by hatred, and in her heart, except revenge, Qin Hao is everything.
When Qin Hao heard this, he immediately felt happy. Dongfang Sheng's attitude made him see a turning point, and it was time to be honest with Dongfang Sheng.
"Have you ever thought about coming back?" Qin Hao asked with a smile.
"What's the use of talking about this now." Dongfang Sheng said bitterly: "There is no way to go back."
Dongfang Sheng knew that Qin Hao would definitely not surrender to the Yellow Turbans, and he would not give up revenge, so the two of them were destined to be on opposite sides. What a bad fate!
"Really?" Qin Hao said with an evil smile, "I don't think so."
Dongfang Sheng was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Nowadays, the people of the world are in dire straits, and the strength of the great Han Dynasty has been exhausted, and its destruction is inevitable."
"Then why did you..."
Before Dongfang Sheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Hao raising his hand.
"But the Yellow Turbans have offended the entire world, and the outcome is doomed. The Taiping Sect will not bring peace, but will bring chaos. Although the Yellow Turbans are destined to fail, they have consumed the last bit of vitality of the Han Dynasty, and the world will be in chaos soon."
Dongfang Sheng also knew the truth, but he was a little unsure of Qin Hao's intentions, so he asked, "What do you want to say?"
Qin Hao put his hands on Dongfang Sheng's shoulders, stared into her eyes, and said seriously: "Hong'er, if I want to fight for the world, are you willing to help me?"
Dongfang Sheng's heart trembled. She had not heard this name for a long time. When she heard it again, she felt like crying. What Qin Hao said next also shocked her.
Haoer actually has such great ambitions!
