Junxu’s gaze was like water, his expression calm, but this sentence still made everyone shudder and be moved. Tonglu frowned slightly
‘Your Highness is willing to abandon your family and country and bear the name-calling of all eternity?’
‘The empire will one day become history. People will only read about its past from the remaining scrolls. One day we will become a story in someone else’s eyes. Or, we will be lost in the cracks of time and space and disappear forever.’
Junxu slowly fixed his gaze on Tongli and continued gently
‘And my beloved wants to love me, that’s everything to me. Would you trade everything for someone else’s story, or would you abandon everything to make everything mine? Everyone has their own aspirations. The marshal is a hero, but we just want a thatched hut, half an acre of fallow land, to work from sunrise to sunset, to hold hands with our loved ones day in and day out, and grow old together, that’s enough.”
Tong Li lost himself in Jun Xu’s gaze.
Tong Li coldly said
‘But military orders are like a mountain, not to mention that the two armies are facing each other. Anyone who flees the camp without permission will be executed!’
Jun Xu reached out and pulled Tong Li into his arms. He closed his eyes and pressed his cheek against his, and Tong Li instantly stiffened.
“Tong Li is under my command, so if you want to execute him, spare his life.’
Tong Li trembled violently, closing his eyes and telling himself in his heart that this was all an act! He had no choice but his eyes still became moist. Jun Xu breathed calmly as he entwined with him, their bodies rising and falling together. In this isolated environment, ignoring his own life and death, he pleaded for mercy for him at a steady pace, even though… it was all fake, it still moved him.
“I’m afraid I can’t help you!’
