"Isn't the Imperial City very good now? Everything is in order. And Leng Jing is Zuo Sima's good friend. If Linglong and Leng Jing can develop, wouldn't it be very good?" Mo Ji persuaded.
"Mo Jian, how many days have it been since the end of the world? In less than half a year, have you been assimilated by the Kingdom of Snow?" Qu Huiyi said excitedly.
"What is assimilation? There is no concept of country in this world. Otherwise, the Yanhuang Kingdom would not have three alliances. Don't you understand? If the three alliances overthrew the Snow Country, then the three alliances would be divided. Yan and Huang are divided into three parts of the world, and our lives are not much better at all."
"No, a hero will definitely appear and reunify the Yanhuang Kingdom." An angry Qu Huiyi picked up her bag and rushed out the door.
"Hui Yi, where are you going?"
"I'm going to take a look at Linglong, but don't come with me."
"Alas." Mo San sat down on the chair helplessly, his face full of sorrow.
A long time ago, Mo Jian would also think about what would happen to the Yanhuang Kingdom and what would happen to the Land of Snow. But now, Mo Xian's fighting spirit is gradually being worn away. He has gradually become accustomed to ordinary life and is content to be the deputy chief of the police station.
In the current Imperial Palace, all systems are perfect, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the civilians of the two countries live in harmony. Dong Qun, the always disliked President of the Imperial Palace, announced a month ago that the Imperial Palace would gradually enter a legal society. Since then, Dong Qun no longer raped women, all high-ranking officials have been diligent and honest, and the whole society has been prosperous.
But Qu Huiyi is still very hostile to the Imperial Palace, and she will never recognize the ruler of the Kingdom of Snow in her heart. She always said that the Imperial Palace is not a place or a home, it is a prison, a huge prison that not only imprisons people's bodies, but also imprisons their hearts.
Outside the window, a few blue birds were chirping. They stopped at the window sill and kept staring at the body inside.
Mo Jian stood up, came to the window sill, and drove away the birds.
Seeing these little birds flying freely in the sky, Mo Xian couldn't help but think of the past.
Before the end of the world, Mo Xian was a special soldier and was very skilled. After the end of the world, I met Qu Huiyi, and then fell in love and couldn't control it.
In the early days of the end of the world, the Yanhuang Kingdom's army occupied the imperial city. As a soldier, Mo Xian was a heroic existence in Qu Huiyi's heart. But the good times did not last long. The army of the Kingdom of Snow suddenly came to the imperial capital and occupied the imperial palace. All soldiers and civilians in the Imperial Palace were captured and passively became "subjects" of the Kingdom of Snow.
In the beginning, there were uprisings every day and repression every day. The broad streets of the Imperial Palace were cleaned of blood every day. I don’t know how long it took, but the civilians gradually accepted their fate and stopped resisting.
As the leader of a certain rebel army at the time, Mo Jian disbanded the rebel army in order to save the lives of his wife and sister-in-law. At that time, Li Ziru personally summoned Mo Jian and was willing to support Mo Jian as a major general of the Snow Country and make contributions to the Snow Country.
Mo Jian thought twice and gave up on Li Ziru's good intentions. Because, how could the hero in Qu Huiyi's heart betray his country and seek glory and point his guns at his own compatriots?
Dong Qun was furious when he rejected Li Ziru. He wanted to shoot Mo Xian, but fortunately, Li Ziru stopped him in time and Mo Xian escaped death.
Later, Li Ziru forced Mo Jian to become the deputy chief of the Pian'an District Police Department. Mo Jian could not refuse, so he had to accept.
Back home, Qu Huiyi did not blame her husband. She understood Mo Xian's inner difficulties.
Later, Mo Xian used his power to arrange for Qu Huiyi, who was educated in the medical class, to do autopsy work at the police station. My sister-in-law, Qu Linglong, didn't like working with corpses, so she went to work as a waiter in a high-end restaurant.
The three of them gradually integrated into the life of the Imperial Palace and had no worries about food and clothing.
It seems like a simple and happy day, but behind it is full of helplessness. I don’t know since when, Qu Huiyi no longer regarded her husband as a hero, and their relationship was no longer as tight as before.
Maybe everyone has reached this point because of forced and helpless choices. What Qu Huiyi said was always understanding. But what she harbored in her heart was always resentment.
The person Qu Huiyi likes in her heart is still the country's soldier, the nation's hero, and the leader of the rebel army.
Society is becoming more and more prosperous. The days are getting better and better. Especially after the three alliances announced their attack on Beiming, the Imperial Government once again improved the welfare of workers and the treatment and status of soldiers. Now let alone the uprising, more and more civilians from the Yanhuang Kingdom have even taken the initiative to join the army, pointing their guns at their former compatriots.
Some things cannot be defined as right or wrong. Qu Huiyi was not wrong, and Mo Jian was not wrong either, but the distance between them became wider and wider.
"Not good!" Mo Xian suddenly shouted as he thought of something incredible.
Qu Huiyi hates the country of snow, so she will naturally hate Leng Jing, but Leng Jing is Zuo Sima's good friend, so if there is trouble in the restaurant, big trouble may happen.
Mo Ji quickly closed the door and window, left the autopsy room, came to the parking lot, started the police car, and drove to the restaurant where Qu Linglong was.
A few old men guarding the parking lot were playing cards. They saw the police car being driven away and started talking.
"Is it off-duty time now? Why did the deputy director drive away the police car?"
"Does this count as private use of the bus?"
"How about we report it? The investigation is very strict now, and motor vehicles cannot be used indiscriminately."
"Forget it. The deputy commander is usually a very nice person. If he leaves in such a hurry, there must be something urgent. Let's not make trouble for him. Just pretend we didn't see him."
"That's right. Anyway, the people checking the car are also people from our police station. They will definitely not embarrass the deputy director."
About 20 minutes later, Mo San arrived at the restaurant and found that the door of the restaurant was crowded with people.
A bad warning came to his mind, and Mo Xian quickly got out of the car and squeezed into the crowd.
"Huiyi, Huiyi, Linglong, Linglong..." Mo Xian ran into the restaurant in a panic.
When I arrived at the door, I was stopped by several security guards.
"Don't go in!"
"What are you doing? I'm a policeman, get out of the way."
"Police? Then wait a moment, I'll report it first."
"What a nonsense report." Mo Yan pushed the security guard aside, opened the door and ran in.
After entering, Mo San was dumbfounded.
In the lobby of the restaurant, there is a large luxurious round table filled with rich food and a large cake in the center.
Qu Linglong and Qu Huiyi sat next to each other. At the other end of the table, Leng Jing stepped on a stool, holding a guitar in his hand, singing and playing.
The owner of the restaurant hurriedly came to Mo Mou and said softly: "Keep your voice down."
Although Mo Jian didn't know what was going on, looking at the situation, he had no choice but to calm down first.
After Leng Jing finished playing a song, he pointed in the direction of the door, smiled and said to Qu Linglong, "Do you know that person over there?"
Qu Linglong turned her head, waved and shouted: "Brother-in-law, why are you here? Come here quickly."
Mo Xian slowly walked to the big round table and smiled awkwardly: "Well... what is going on?"
"I booked a venue today to celebrate Qu Linglong's birthday." Leng Jing replied.
"I see, I almost misunderstood." Mo Xian smiled.
"Are you referring to the people at the door and outside the glass of the store? Some of them are my fans and they are following them all the way. There is nothing I can do." Leng Jing smiled helplessly.
"Anyway, it's fine if nothing happens."
Mo Xian looked at Qu Linglong. She looked like a joyful bird, her face filled with joy. The expression on Qu Huiyi's face was very complicated. She was not very happy, but she was forcing a smile.
Mo Xian felt that staying here with Hui Yi would only make things more embarrassing.
"Well, Linglong, your sister and I have something to do. Let's leave first. Don't come back too late tonight." Mo Xian pulled Hui Yi up.
Qu Huiyi was a little reluctant, but Mo Xian blinked and pulled Huiyi away.
Qu Linglong was surprisingly cooperative: "Just keep busy, I will definitely be home before 11 o'clock."
Just like that, Mo Xian pulled Qu Huiyi into the police car.
When Mo Xian was about to start the car, Qu Huiyi suddenly knocked off Mo Xian's key: "Which one to drive? Where do you want to drive?"
"Then what's the use of staying here?" Mo San asked.
"I want to watch Linglong."
"Linglong is no longer a child. She has her own ideas. Do you find it interesting to be a light bulb there?"
"Mo condolence, what do you mean?" Qu Huiyi shouted.
"Then what do you mean? Do you still miss us all? Don't you know that Leng Jing is Zuo Sima's good friend? Don't you know that we are being monitored all the time? Have you never thought about why I just Deputy chief of the police? Not the chief? If the higher-ups want to mess with us, we won’t even know how we died.”
"What a bastard, I didn't expect you to become like this." Qu Huiyi scolded.
"I'm a coward? Then why did you force yourself to smile there just now? Aren't you also scared?"
"I...I don't want to make the matter a big deal. If that person dares to touch my Linglong, I will fight him." Qu Huiyi said excitedly.
"Fight? You fight with him? Have you ever asked Linglong if she agrees?"
"You coward, shut up!"
"Yes, I'm a coward. I'm a coward because I want you to live, for Linglong to live, and for you to have a good life." Mo Jian couldn't help it anymore and became very emotional.
"Why is this happening? Why is this happening? Linglong has changed, you have changed, you have all changed!" Qu Huiyi suddenly started crying.
"Have we changed? Or are you too stubborn? Think about it." Mo Xian started the car and drove Qu Huiyi home.
A few hours later, at 11 o'clock in the evening, Qu Linglong returned to her residence on a three-wheeler.
When she opened the door, she heard slight sobbing. The lights in the living room were dim. Qu Linglong turned on the headlights and found her brother-in-law and sister sitting face to face.
The brother-in-law looked sad and said nothing. My sister leaned on the sofa and kept crying quietly.
PS: Today’s story is not a side story. Qu Linglong’s fate will deeply affect the fate of the imperial capital. There are many shocking events that will be pushed forward step by step by little people.
