When the pleasure from venting revenge disappears, what follows is regret, disgust and resentment.

Xie Changgeng walked out of the door with such a mood.

After 14 years old, he killed someone and took the risk, the boy who read the night rain in Bashan and was dancing at night, and the drums leaked and the chickens danced in the fourth hour and never returned.

He will never forget that day when he went to the exam and returned home, but what greeted him was the scene of his father being carried back and vomiting blood and died. He was unforgettable and will never forget until his death.

Although his father was just a postmaster, he was loyal and knowledgeable. Xie Changgen still remembers that when he was a child, his father told him when he taught him to write his name, that in the early morning, the star was bright, and until the evening, it was Changgeng. The Big Dipper was staggered and Changgeng was noble. He was born when the star of Changgen appeared in the sky, so he named it this way.

His father was the person he respected the most in his life.

The person who could be so unscrupulous and left after the crime was just a general of military prosecution. A mere fifth rank could be so arrogant.

Since then, the strong prey on the weak and the success of others has become everything. His unwillingness in his bones and blood has destined that he is naturally suitable for this path. His desires and ambitions have continued to expand as he stepped on the enemy's corpse again and again. The Yangtze River waterways and dark forces, even at the extreme, are far from satisfying him.

He wants to stand at the peak of light, be the choice of heaven, and step everything under his feet, so that the world can crawl and cannot look up to it. In this way, he will not live for a lifetime.

It took him five years to become the leader of the Yangtze River.

During the past five years, his hands were stained with blood. Those who died in his hands had enemies and his own people. He also died several times and survived. In addition to the enemies, there were also his own people.

The betrayal and fighting time and time again, the last weakness on the young man was polished into a strong armor and a sharp shield. Except for himself, Xie Changgeng no longer trusted anyone. Everything could be used and exchanged, including his marriage.

When he was nineteen years old, he firmly ranked as the leader of the Yangtze River and accumulated enough capital, he turned his attention to the Dongting Mu family, who was connected with his own power.

When he made this engagement, he had no interest in the Mu girl himself. He was tall, short, fat and thin, and Xi Shi's mother was the same as him.

If he married her, he would give her everything he should have in the future and she would pass on the family line to him. That would be enough.

He did not expect that from the day he went to Changsha to pick her up, things suddenly broke away from his expectations without warning.

Now, he has even become embarrassed.

When he was young, he became famous in the village for his talent, and he could not help but be arrogant and conceited. No woman could ever see him. The marriage with the Qi family was only the order of his parents, and he followed it with care. After the age of fourteen, his fate suddenly changed, and he licked blood from the knife. When he was young, he occasionally thought of adding fragrance to the red sleeves, which had long disappeared. When he was sixteen, after witnessing a woman who appreciated and promoted his leader who died on the woman sent by his enemies, he took it as a warning and self-discipline. Since this Mu girl had no intention of him and was determined to leave, let alone losing her virginity early and being lewd by nature, why should he look at her more?

He regretted that he was confused by the woman's skin and low-key manners, and then he indulged in a moment and brought humiliation to himself.

He hated. He hated the woman's debauchery and cunning, and even more hated himself. That day, he knew that she had found a false alarm. When he heard her say "The only person in this world who can protect me is the only one."

He felt extremely angry.

Not only for the fact that she really lost her virginity, but also because he still had the last bit of expectations. If she was really just lying to herself, he might no longer care about her former contempt and could be better off. What she gave him back was another humiliation.

In the eyes of her facing her, she could not see any guilt or regret.

Even if she lost her virginity, if she still had a trace of guilt, he would not be so angry.

Xie Changgeng braved the cold and ice that night, and went to Xu Tu.

Xiu Tu is not big, but it is an important garrison city on the border, just like a gateway to Guzang, and geography is important.

A few days ago, this place was attacked by a large number of alien cavalry in Mobei. Liu An, the deputy general in charge of defense, led the army to defend. After several battles, the opponent learned that the Jiedushi Xie Changgeng was also on the way back from Shangjing, and knew that he would not be able to occupy this time, so he retreated without success.

When Xie Changgeng arrived at Xiu Tu, he began to strengthen the old city defense. After working for many days, he stopped to see everything and left and returned to Guzang.

He left a few days ago, but today he returned overnight without hesitation. At that time, even his hair and eyebrows were covered with ice. Liu An thought he was worried and was very frightened. When he had a rest, he immediately led him to patrol the city defense again, and repeatedly promised that he would guard the slaughter and was willing to make a military order as evidence.

Xie Changgeng stayed in Xiu Tu for several days in the name of patrol.

He didn't have to come to Xiu Tu. But he went out angrily that night and didn't know where to go. When he thought of Xiu Tu, he came here. A few days have passed, and now there is nothing to ask about here. If he stays, he is a little reluctant. He wanted to leave and continue to go to another city, but Liu An led his troops out of the city gate. After getting on the road, he gradually slowed down and finally stopped.

Why did he ask her to stay in the Jiedu Mansion again, causing so many inconveniences for him? He left in a hurry that night, and many affairs of the Jiedu Mansion had not been explained. A few days later, I am afraid that they had already stacked.

It is incredible that I have a hard time going back to such a woman now.

When she first arrived in Beijing, Empress Liu frequently summoned her to the palace and tried many times, but she was just afraid that she would hold on to her and blow the pillow at her to disagree. How could he not know?

This time, he was careless and risked being suspicious of Empress Liu and tried to get the person out. Since the person was here, he had been in the eyes of outsiders, so he sent her back to Changsha in the name of inconsistency. The news came to Empress Liu, which was not contrary to his statement that he wanted to maintain his reputation, but also made Empress Liu believe in the judgment of the Mu girl that day.

Speaking of which, in the end, I helped the woman myself.

Xie Changgeng thought coldly.

This time, I took it as a fall and learned a lesson. When I went back, I explained it to her in person, and asked her to go back to Changsha and be honest with her brother. If major events happen in the future, there may be no need to kill them all for the sake of the old Changsha king.

He pondered for a while, then made a decision, turned his horse's head and returned to Guzang.

The two places were hundreds of miles apart. He galloped on the horse for a day. When it was dark, he ran the strong horse under his crotch as if he had just been fished out of the water. His four hooves were trembling. Finally, he entered the city gate again and returned to the gate of the Jiedu Mansion.

The manager was standing at the door and was lighting the lanterns at the door with a servant. Suddenly, he saw the head of the family coming back and greeted him in surprise.

Xie Changgeng turned over and got off the horse, ordered someone to take the horses to the stable to feed and rest, walked in, walked a few steps, and seemed to be casual, and asked the manager who followed him: "What are the master doing in the past few days when I am not here?"

The manager said, "Someone asked to see a doctor, and the old man treated him. When a wife of an official came to the house, she would socialize. She would stay in the mansion if she had nothing to do. Just like the previous few days."

Xie Changgeng looked ahead without responding.

The manager smiled and complimented: "Sir, go in quickly. The little man heard from his son that in order to come here earlier to reunite with the adults, he refused to rest for a while on the road and worked tirelessly. He has only arrived so many days ago. Unfortunately, he has a lot of work and often goes out of the city. He has been there for a few days. The master must have missed the adults very much. Now that the adults are back, he doesn't know how happy he is."

The manager's son was one of the guards who had sent Mu Fulan here before. Seeing that Mu Fulan was skilled in medical skills and kind-hearted, the manager boldly mentioned that he had old cold legs. When the attack occurred, he was sore and swelling. She taught him a moxibustion method and said that regular moxibustion treatment would relieve the sore and swelling. The manager was very grateful, and also to say that she was good in front of Xie Changgeng. At this moment, he specifically mentioned what he heard from his son a few days ago.

He was reminded.

The reason why this woman came here with great difficulty was to remember her previous words, thinking of arriving early and going back soon.

A cold look appeared on his face. He told the manager not to follow him, to go to his residence by himself.

He stepped into the courtyard and saw a maid coming out of the room. He recognized that he was the one who wanted to hand her clothes in the room a few days ago, but was stopped by him for a moment.

Danzhu was going out when he ran into the scene when he saw the governor Xie who had not seen him for a few days. He was stunned and hurried over to greet him.

"The master is in the house, I'll report it now..."

"No need!"

Xie Changgeng's steps did not stop. When he reached the stairs, he stepped up and pushed the door open.

The candlelight in the room was bright, and Mu Fulan was wearing only a purple gauze dress. She sat in front of the mirror and rubbed her long hair that had not yet dried. When she heard the sound of the door being pushed open from behind, she thought it was Dan Zhu who returned and said with a smile: "Why did you go back so soon? Have you told Mu's mother? I'll cook less food, and I can't eat much if she doesn't say it...."

She turned her head and saw Xie Changgeng who suddenly appeared. She was stunned. The smile on her face calmed down and stopped talking.

The room was as warm as spring. She had just taken a shower, and she didn't expect that he suddenly came back at this time. The single clothes on his body were a little thin and were not suitable for facing the man. Although the other party was his "husband", there was something like that a few days ago.

She stood up, picked up the cloak that was hanging beside her, put it on her body, then turned around, showed a smile on her face, and greeted him: "Are you back?"

He did not respond.

Mu Fulan quietly looked at the man who was not talking opposite him, and a trace of ominous feeling suddenly flashed through her heart.

That night three days ago, he obviously left with resentment afterwards.

Mu Fulan knew that when he looked at her, her reaction should have stimulated him more deeply than the infidelity she had already told him.

As arrogant as Xie Changgeng, the last thing he regrets during these few days must have touched his body.

In fact, on the eve of leaving Shangjing, Mu Fulan knew from a sense of intuition that he should have become a little interested in himself.

Although it is the kind that is dispensable, if I keep hanging like this, I really don’t know when I will go back.

It is inevitable that you will be early than to be late.

If she had expected it was right, now he would have personally confirmed that she was unfaithful and would have sent her away.

So after he left that night, she had been in a very good mood these days, so she was waiting for him to come back and speak.

But now, she was suddenly a little uncertain about Xie Changgeng who suddenly came back.

She felt a little doubt and nervous.

Xie Changgeng's eyes moved away from her and glanced at the corner of the room.

There were a few boxes of boxes stacked there.

These boxes were brought by her from Shangjing. After she arrived, she kept them here and never opened them.

He had seen it a long time ago. But he had never been so eye-catching as he was now.

His gaze slowly retracted from those boxes and turned to her face that was clearly smiling a moment ago. On the way back today, he had turned over in his belly and thought about what he said when he saw her, and suddenly he didn't want to say anything.

He said expressionlessly: "I'm tired."
