A young lady from a modern wealthy family transmigrated to an ancient era where men outnumbered women. Jiang Yuyan initially just wanted to live a stable life in this era, but she found herself cla...

Chapter 143 Extra 2

That night, an uninvited guest came to the Princess's Mansion.

When Cang Yi chased out, he saw that the man in black seemed to be trying to lure him, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious and alert.

Two streets away from Jiyun Lane, the black shadow landed under the big locust tree at the entrance of Changbai Lane and stood still.

Cang Yi looked behind him with a cold look in his eyes and asked, "Why did you break into my princess's mansion?"

The man turned around and suddenly pulled off his veil, revealing a face that was twitching slightly with excitement.

He took two steps closer anxiously, and the man grabbed his shoulder, "General, you are not dead yet!"

Cang Yi opened his eyes wide in astonishment. It turned out to be his former deputy Zhao Lei!

Zhao Lei's eyes were filled with tears. "I finally see you again!"

Cang Yi and Zhao Lei were close friends back then, and he was very excited to see them again. He looked him up and down, clenched his fist, and patted him hard on the back twice. He laughed, "Good boy, you've become stronger!"

Zhao Lei also wiped away his tears and grinned, "General, you are still so majestic!"

"How did you find me?"

Zhao Lei said, "Everyone said you were dead, but I didn't believe it. That damn emperor didn't even let anyone take care of your funeral. The yamen runners took pity on you and hastily buried the body that replaced you. God also took pity on me. When I arrived, it rained heavily and the body was slightly exposed. I could tell at a glance that it wasn't you! Later, I found out that you were sold to Dayue Country by following clues. There were so many people and the black market refused to reveal the buyer's information. I have been looking for you for almost ten years!"

Cang Yi was deeply moved at this moment, and said in a bitter tone: "Good boy, it's hard for you..."

Zhao Lei said excitedly: "General, please come back with me now. I, Hua Sheng, cannot live without you! That dog emperor is licentious and immoral, and has now been driven off the throne by the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince, oh no, it's the current emperor, he learned that you are still alive, and asked me to invite you back to the country!"

The battle for the royal family was bloody again, but who was in power made any difference? Even if they were needed at the beginning, they would still be suppressed after they were used up. The Huasheng royal family had always been like this.

Cang Yi's smile faded, and after a long silence, he said, "I am no longer your General Zhennan. I am just an ordinary guard of the Dayue Princess's Mansion."

"General!" Zhao Lei was so anxious that he gasped for breath, "How can you be so self-deprecating!"

Cangyi patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, seeing that you are doing well, I feel relieved. I am already very happy that we brothers can meet again. But when you go back, don't mention it again!"

"Is it that the Princess's Mansion is holding you hostage?" Zhao Lei said, "His Majesty said that he will do whatever it takes as long as you can come back. If necessary, he will personally write a letter to the Emperor of Dayue!"

Cang Yi sighed inwardly, "I hope she won't let me go..."

"No, it's me who doesn't want to go back." Cang Yi said.

"Why, General!" Zhao Lei seemed incredulous. "Do you still remember those soldiers in Huasheng? They are all waiting for you to come back!"

Speaking of this, Cang Yi was moved. Huasheng, after all, was the place where he was raised, and the soldiers under his command who had fought through life and death were also his brothers who had sworn blood oaths. But now...

He couldn't help but sigh deeply, "It was the country that failed me, not me. Now I am here, living a good life. Hua Sheng's soldiers can still defend the country without me. The current Queen Feng Xi is not warlike, you can have a hundred years of peace. Why do you need someone like me who should have died long ago?"

Zhao Lei was originally a warrior, not good at speaking, and at this moment he was speechless. "But, General, you are from Huasheng after all..."

"My name is Cang Yi now..." This is the name she gave me, the new life she gave me.

Not knowing what he remembered, Cang Yi smiled faintly and said, "Go back, just pretend you didn't find me..."

Zhao Lei wanted to persuade him again, but Cang Yi stopped him.

"No matter where I am, we will always be good brothers..."

The corners of Zhao Lei's mouth twitched, and he was very disappointed. But he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Are you really doing well here?"

Cang Yi seemed to recall a moment, and said with a smile: "I am doing well! Don't worry!"

Zhao Lei nodded, exchanged some pleasantries, and then bowed to him and said goodbye.

After he left, Cang Yi stood there in silence for a long time.

"Come out..." He suddenly spoke lightly in the silence.

A man's graceful figure leaped down from a roof not far away.

As soon as Cang left the Princess's Mansion, he realized someone was following him. He turned around and bowed in surprise, "My dear!"

Shen Yi folded his arms and tilted his head slightly, "Why don't you want to go back?"

Cang Yiping looked at him and said calmly: "I am now the Madam's bodyguard..."

"If you really want to go back, Madam won't hold you back."

Cang Yi was silent for a while, "I want to repay my wife's kindness..."

What kind of person is Shen Yi? Hearing his insincere words, he suddenly smiled faintly, "You, like Madam?"

Cang Yihu opened his eyes slightly, and his hands hanging at his sides trembled involuntarily, but he could not utter a word to admit or deny.

Seeing this, Shen Yi did not force it, "If you change your mind, Madam will let you return to your homeland." After saying that, he flew away.

Cang Yi's eyes froze, "Homeland, where do I even have a hometown..."

On the second night, Jiang Yuyan found Cang Yi had not appeared for the whole day, which was quite strange. She shouted to the sky.

"Where's Cang Yi?"

Xiaowu is now a tall and handsome young man, and he flew to the corridor like a ghost.

"Master, my brother seems to be in a bad mood. He has been drinking until now..."

Jiang Yuyan frowned slightly and muttered, "What's the matter that makes you want to get drunk?"

After saying that, he went straight to the guard room.

"Cang Yi!" Jiang Yuyan knocked on the door. The room was dark and no one answered, but the smell of alcohol in the room was frighteningly strong.

"Knock the door open!" Jiang Yuyan ordered Xiaowu.

"Okay!" Xiaowu split the door open with one palm!

Jiang Yuyan: “…” Master!

Holding the candlestick, he walked into the inner room. He saw Cang Yi lying half on the bed and half hanging in the air, with his long legs hanging on the ground, looking miserable and drunk.

He was a little angry in his heart, "You are not comfortable staying in this Princess's Mansion, so you have to drink like this?!"

The man seemed to be awakened by the sound of breaking the door, and he forced himself to look at the person coming through his drunken eyes.

Jiang Yuyan had long regarded him as a family member. Seeing his flushed face and chapped lips, she frowned and poured him a glass of water.

"Chen Canglan..." The man didn't answer. Looking at the beautiful face that seemed real and illusory under the candlelight, he still thought he was in a dream.

Hearing this long-unused name, Jiang Yuyan suddenly felt a little dazed, "What did you call me?"

“Chen Canglan…”

Seeing the drunkard's appearance, Jiang Yuyan felt that she couldn't explain it to him. She sighed secretly, put down the water cup, and asked Xiaowu to squeeze a towel over.

Before the damp and warm handkerchief touched the man's face, Jiang Yuyan's wrist was grabbed by someone.

I saw moisture in the drunken man's eyes.

Jiang Yuyan was startled, but she softened her heart and coaxed him gently, "Sleep well."

The man suddenly murmured: "I have no home for a long time..."

"Chen Canglan, you are my hometown..."

Alcohol makes cowards bold. The man had no idea what he was saying or doing, and the next second he pulled the woman he worshipped like a goddess to kiss him.

The aroma of the wine is tangy, hot and strong.

Jiang Yuyan was so stunned that she froze and didn't move. Suddenly she remembered what Jiang Mingan said a long time ago. Her mind was in a mess for a while.

Her heart is so small. She has already had several husbands and now so many children. How can she have the energy to think about anything else?

Seeing the man's suppressed joy and sadness, Jiang Yuyan was confused by this suppressed emotion.

Seeing this, Xiaowu, who was standing in the dark, was so surprised that his mouth opened into an O shape. But in his heart, he couldn't help but give his big brother a thumbs up, brave!

…………

The next day, Jiang Yuyan was still worrying about how to face Cang Yi, when Xiao Wu hurriedly brought her a letter.

After waking up, this man was so scared that he ran away, saying that he was going to guard the northern border for Wu Langjun.

Jiang Yuyan couldn't help but scold Xiaowu, "Did you tell him?"

Xiao Wu was extremely regretful, "I was just teasing my elder brother a few times, and I thought we were going to have another husband! Who knew he would run away!"

Jiang Yuyan was so angry that she held her forehead. She hadn't blamed him yet! He ran away first. What's the matter? He was a general after all. He was not afraid of life or death. How could he be so cowardly?

Later, during the holidays, Jiang Yuyan sent several letters asking him to come back for a reunion, but Cang Yi refused.

It was not until the sixteen-year-old Jiang Mujin took over his father's job and became a general in the northern border that Cang Yi had no excuse and returned to the princess's mansion. From then on, he became the personal bodyguard of the beautiful young lady Mu Zhi who brought disaster to the country...

He protected her in the first half of his life, and protected her children in the second half. His deep love eventually turned into deep family affection over the years.

In his old age, Cang Yi looked at Jiang Yuyan, who was over fifty years old but still had fair skin and black hair, and thought to himself, "This is enough for us to be together for a lifetime."

Follow-up - Three interesting questions

1. Among the five men, who does Jiang Yuyan love the most?

Jiang Yuyan's love for Xiao Yuanyan is kindness + love

To Xie Jingyu, it is friendship + love

I feel pity and love for Qin Shangyu

She has a crush on Shen Yi and loves him (she will complain if Nie Wuyou bullies her and seek his protection)

Respect + love for Jiang Mingan

As for who I love the most, it depends on personal opinion. I think I love them all.

2. Let’s talk about those children

The most beautiful girl is undoubtedly Shen Muzhi, who combines the advantages of both parents and looks like a disaster for the country and the people.

Shen Yi was worried that her beauty would bring disaster to her, so he taught her medicine, poison and martial arts since she was a child. When she grew up, she became a rebellious girl who loved to wear men's clothes and travel around the world.

The second most beautiful one is Qin Muxue, who is as gentle and cute as her father. In fact, she is a romantic girl who loves to write storybooks and fantasize.

After Jiang Yuyan found out, she became a fan of her novels, but she was also troubled by her daughter's naivety.

The third most beautiful one is Jiang Muyu. Her father is a handsome man with a strong complexion. She also looks like a queen, bright and attractive. Jiang Muyu's name is not well chosen, "Muyu", which means she has a cold personality, doesn't like to speak, and is cold and noble. She inherited her mother's talent for design.

The fourth most beautiful one is actually the eldest sister Xiao Muyun. But Queen Feng likes her very much. She looks very dignified and has the demeanor of a mother of a country.

However, the crown prince Xie Min liked Qin Muxue and thought she was cute and soft. Jiang Yuyan disagreed, thinking that her daughter had no ability to survive in the deep palace. Later, Xie Min repeatedly assured her that she was the only one in the harem and he would protect her, and Jiang Yuyan reluctantly agreed.

Of course Qin Muxue will grow up in the future.

Xiao Muyun later married her childhood sweetheart, Prince Rui. At first, she only regarded him as a brother, but she didn't expect that her brother would become her lover.

But if you marry a prince, you can take two more servants! @_@

Boys tend to be more handsome.

The best-looking one is the eldest, Shen Muyan. However, after he turned ten, the elders of the clan began to use the technique of facial reconstruction. They used special potions to change his appearance, and his true appearance would only be revealed when his Yuan Yang was lost.

Later, when Shen Muzhi was walking in the rivers and lakes under a pseudonym, she didn’t recognize her brother when she met him…

The second is Xiao Muheng, who looks very much like Jiang Yuyan, but not as rough as his father. Instead, he has a gentle and jade-like appearance. He worships Zheng Shaopu as his master, but his way of doing things is not like his appearance.

Jiang Mujin and Xie Mufeng are equally good-looking, but their styles are different.

Jiang Mujin has the same deep facial features as his father. When he grew up, he had no choice but to take over his father's job and continue the glory of the General's Mansion.

Xie Mufeng inherited his father's peach blossom eyes, but he looks more romantic and charming than his father. He was the most mischievous since he was a child. His father took him to travel around the country to learn how to do business. He said different things to different people. He was the biggest headache for Jiang Yuyan when he was a child, but he was the best at making Jiang Yuyan happy when he grew up.

These are the stories about the children. If I have the chance, I will write a new book in the future - the Yu Shengyan series.

3 As for Mr. Zheng, Cangyi, whom you are concerned about, I have already explained it in the extra chapter.

They may not always be together as husband and wife, but they are very affectionate. In short, they have no regrets in their lives.

There is another person, Nie Wuyou. Nie Wuyou looks careless, but he is actually the most clear-headed and free-spirited, and he is also very flexible. He bullied Jiang Yuyan at first, but when he saw Shen Yi coming back, he immediately changed his attitude.

And as mentioned in the previous article, no matter how much he likes someone, if she has no interest in him, he is not willing to force it.

Pavilion Master Nie will meet a girl who likes him in the future...

I wish all the paper people live happily in that world.
