The pear blossoms outside the city were in full bloom. Pei Jingzhi stood on the highest pavilion in the palace, facing the spring breeze alone, overlooking the Wangjing Tower outside the city.
That familiar figure seemed to have really returned to his eyes.
"When the war is over, I don't want glory or wealth. You can seal a mountain for me, hunt, drink, and when you are tired, jump into the hot spring and take a dip. When you come, I will bring out the fine wine I have collected and treat you to drink as much as you can!
"I don't want it, you can take it easy, I'm exhausted and can't get a reply from someone. "
Under the starry sky, the unique general in his arms stared at his focused bright eyes and grinned.
………………
But after that battle, there was no news about his general. His general led the first batch of siege teams. After breaking through the breach, he was cut off from the main force due to the enemy's counterattack. No one saw him again after that. After the war, Pei Jingzhi looked through every corpse he could find with trembling hands, but none of them belonged to that person. People shook their heads and sighed, saying that the general died in battle and no bones were left, but he didn't believe it. He didn't believe that the general who had been with him for decades as both a teacher and friend suddenly left.
But it's been ten years. Every year he climbed high and looked far away, waiting for the figure that he didn't know would come, but he always returned disappointed. This year is already the tenth year, and his general promised him that if he lives, no matter what happens in the tenth year after the war ends, he will go to Wangjing Tower and pick him a branch of the most flourishing pear blossom. The general keeps his word and never breaks his word.
But he waited from dawn to noon, and then from noon to the sky filled with stars, but the unforgettable person never appeared.
Tears blurred Pei Jingzhi's eyes. He returned to the palace, hugged the magic weapon "Wuyan" and cried quietly. It was a gift from the general to him when he came of age.
The pear blossoms bloom as promised every year, but Tang Zening... Will never come back.
Purpose: Feelings of family and country
