Jiang Huan stared blankly at the jade-colored gourd: "General Xu is going to Yexi Kingdom?" He was so shocked he couldn't speak. But if General Xu went to Yexi Kingdom, what would happen to Kuiyang Kingdom? He was the guardian war god of Kuiyang Kingdom.

Seeing that he had put away the wine gourd, Bi Xie slowly yawned, "Young Master Jiang, don't worry too much. Things will work out in the end. If Young Master Jiang has thought it through and wants to cooperate with me, we will have a chance to meet again."

The original owner's wish was only to protect the Kuiyang Kingdom, not to protect the Kuiyang Kingdom's empress. Since this empress is a scumbag, then let's find another one.

Back in the simple, dilapidated temple, the boy huddled on the dry grass, covered with a cloak, fast asleep.

Bi Xie rested her chin on her hand and looked at him for a while, then smiled gently. Seeing that he was not moving, she reached out and brushed the black hair from his forehead, revealing his smooth, snow-white forehead and delicate, thick eyebrows. "So cool. Why did you have to get up in the middle of the night to eavesdrop? Are you afraid she will run away?"

His eyelashes are so long, so thick, no wonder she couldn't stop him from crying. If those eyelashes got wet with tears, it would be so heartbreaking.

She grabbed his hand that was exposed outside his cloak and clearly noticed his fingers tremble. Bi Xie looked up at him, thinking he would wake up and shake her off, but he didn't. The boy's eyes were tightly closed, and his cold palm was held by her, soft and without resistance. His beautiful face was white and tender.

As expected of a sixteen-year-old boy, Bi Xie suddenly felt a sense of vicissitude. Even before she transmigrated, she was already nineteen years old.

Would you call this an older man dating a younger woman?

Han Yun was in agony, his heart pounding as if it were about to burst out of his chest. He could feel it more clearly with his eyes closed. The general he had always longed for but could never reach was actually... actually breathing on his hands to warm them. He felt a warm current suddenly rush into his palm, warming his entire body.

Before his rebirth, he might not have known what this was, but now that he has been reborn and has learned martial arts, the general is transferring his internal energy to him.

Why are you suddenly being so nice to him?

If she had feelings for him, why did she cause him pain again and again in her past life?

The heavy rain lasted all night, and gradually stopped after 7 a.m.

After a quick wash and some dry rations, the group prepared to depart. Before they left, Jiang Huan told her his decision, which he had been pondering all night: he was willing to persuade Chu Wei and her mother to rebel with Xu Xie, but on the condition that the new empress be of pure heart and not do anything detrimental to the Kuiyang Kingdom.

Bi Xie was stunned for a moment after hearing his conditions. Did he think she wanted to overthrow the government and establish herself as emperor? Was he worried that she would hand over Kuiyang Kingdom to Yexi Kingdom just to win a smile from the beauty?

This must not be misunderstood. Bi Xie waved from inside the carriage and whispered to Jiang Huan as he approached, “Young Master Jiang, please do not misunderstand. If our plan succeeds, the royal family will naturally still be surnamed Chu. I am just a rough man and prefer the scenery of the frontier. I am not good at the intrigues in the court.”

Ru Hua curled her lips: "Host, I think you're quite suited for scheming and intrigue. You've already fooled the Prime Minister's son so quickly."

"You don't understand, do you? It's not that I fooled him; he's blinded by love. This young man is clearly head over heels in love. He'd do anything for his Wei sister. Besides, how many loyal ministers has the Empress harmed since she ascended the throne to eliminate her rivals? The court officials aren't blind. Prime Minister Jiang has long been dissatisfied with the Empress's tyrannical actions. I just added fuel to the fire..."

"Guard Lin, let's go!" Han Yun said coldly.

Bi Xie glanced at him, and chuckled softly after the carriage slowly started moving.

Han Yun looked over coldly: "What are you laughing at?"

"Are you jealous?" She tilted her head and smiled at him. She had only exchanged a few words with someone else.

"Who's jealous?" He snorted softly, his gaze drifting to the side, muttering, "Why are you getting so close when you're just talking?"

Bi Xie suddenly moved closer to him, looking at him with a smile, until he saw the redness on his face spread all the way to his ears. He stared at him anxiously, "What... what are you doing?"

"Nothing much, I just suddenly realized how handsome my Han Yun is," Bi Xie said flippantly, lifting the boy's milky-white chin and looking at his flushed cheeks with a half-smile.

Han Yun stared blankly into her eyes and suddenly realized that the general had changed. In the past, the general's eyebrows and eyes were sharp, like a sword forged in the abyss. Although he had a delicate and handsome appearance, his eyes always frightened him. Even during the time when he was imprisoned in Ye Xi Kingdom, the general's eyes always made him fearful. So... he dared not touch the general.

But the general now smiled so gently, like the March wind, like a flower kissed by the wind in early spring, swaying and swaying, suddenly giving him a desire to recklessly sink into and drown in this gentleness.

"Han Yun, are we close enough now?"

Her warm breath tickled his ear, and Han Yun's heart skipped a beat. He leaned back, his head slamming against the car wall with a thud. He groaned in pain and glared at her angrily, "What...what are you going to do now? Don't...don't get so close to me..."

Bi Xie reached out and rubbed the back of his head where he had been bumped. "Does it hurt? What were you thinking about just now? You seemed so engrossed in something."

What are you thinking about? I want to sleep with her…

Seeing that his silent face had turned even redder, Bi Xie narrowed his eyes and leaned in to press him against the car wall. "What mischief are you up to, hmm?"

"N-no...nothing..." His face flushed red, his throat bobbed nervously, and he suddenly felt the air was thin, making it hard to breathe. He looked down and could see her pink lips, so alluring...

I never noticed before that the general's lips were so moist and beautiful.

The carriage suddenly lurched, and Bi Xie quickly shielded the boy's head. The two rolled to the corner of the carriage, where they heard Imperial Guard Lin shout from outside, "Your Highness, General Xu, once we pass this canyon, we will reach the Kingdom of Ye Xi. This canyon is full of jagged rocks and will be very bumpy. Your Highness and General, please hold on tight."

Han Yun nestled in Bi Xie's arms, inhaling her delicate fragrance, his entire neck turning red. Hearing that she hadn't let go of him even after returning to the Imperial Guard, he couldn't help but bite his lip and ask shyly, "General, you're acting very differently than usual. Could it be that you've been possessed?"

Bi Xie: "..."

flowery:"……"

Was she being too enthusiastic, moving things too fast, and making him realize something?

"Then tell me what's different?" Bi Xie pretended to be calm as he let go of him, moved to the side a little, and then moved a little more.

That kid's too clever; I need to stay away from him.

Han Yun saw her take advantage and then run away, and he was so angry that his lips turned white. He snorted coldly, "Why is the general hiding? Ever since the day the general left the manor with me, the general has been acting abnormally in every way. The general of the past would never have left Kuiyang Kingdom with me even if he died, nor would he have taken care of me for a night when I was sick, and he would never have had eyes like yours!"

"What's wrong with my eyesight?" Bi Xie thought to himself, thinking this kid had incredible insight, but his expression remained unchanged. "Did you hit your head? I'm not Xu Xie, then who am I?"
