Peace and joy
Wu Shanyue was initially very angry, as Jiang Yun's reasoning was clearly nonsense.
Under the blazing sun, he told her that the weather outside was bad.
Wushan Yue felt that his eyesight was failing.
"Damn Jiang Yun, at least he didn't neglect my food. He keeps subtly asking me what my relationship is with that young man. What relationship could I possibly have with him? I don't even know his name or where he lives. I'm just here to listen to the commotion."
Wushan Yue had no choice but to promise him countless times that she wouldn't go out.
Inside the carved window, Jiang Yun wrapped his arms around Wu Shanyue's waist from behind, rested his chin on her neck, and whispered, "You'd better not lie to me."
"I'm not lying to you."
Jiang Yun gently gathered Wu Shanyue's loose hair, calling out "Yueyue" over and over again.
Wushan Yue was so sleepy from listening to it.
She was truly asleep, so much so that she didn't hear a single word of Jiang Yun's undeniable concern and greetings afterward.
Jiang Yun originally thought that Wu Shanyue was angry and didn't want to talk to him, so he lowered his voice and spoke more gently. Unexpectedly, Wu Shanyue fell asleep standing up.
Siji Wushanyue touched her nose. "It was one thing for him not to let me go out, but he also brought me to the village. It was at that moment that I realized he was the Gu Master I had been cursing for so long, the next Holy Son of the Three Departments."
Wushan Yuesheng was utterly dejected and listless. "Then I went from staying in the house to staying in the village, oh no, I mean, staying in the house in the village."
Xu Fu's face fell; Jiang Yun had truly broadened her horizons.
Calming down, she pondered, "Have you ever thought about leaving?"
She didn't care about Jiang Yun's background; she acted entirely according to her own nature.
A hint of envy flashed in Wu Shanyue's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it. "I have thought about it, but I am actually a lazy person. I'm just angry that Jiang Yun can't even come up with a proper reason. If I agree with him, it will make me look like a fool."
"My original intention was just to make a living in the martial arts world. Alas, life is tough. When I was at sea, I had to worry about the wind direction every day, which way it was coming from, and I had to pay attention to the ship's direction at all times. When I was in the martial arts world, I had to worry about my life every day. With my mediocre skills, if I accidentally got caught up in their conflicts, I would surely die a miserable death."
Although Xu was just up late at night and had a mischievous idea, he wanted to annoy Jiang Yun a little and didn't really intend to ruin their marital relationship.
Jiang Yun's mother died early, and her father was worse off than she had. When she first met him as a child, she felt that he was gloomy. Spoiled by Jiang Li, she always wanted to tease him. Over time, Jiang Yun was forced to become more and more gentle.
In essence, Jiang Yun is still Jiang Yun.
Sui Zhixu didn't want him to really drive Wushan Yue to despair, because neither of them would end up well.
But Wu Shanyue is an extremely easily satisfied person, optimistic and open-minded, and content with her lot, so it is not surprising that Jiang Yun is fond of her.
She admired such a good person and such a good character.
Has he ever mentioned his past to you?
Wushan Yue shook her head, like a rattle-drum, her long hair flowing like ribbons behind her.
“He lost his mother at a young age, and his father remarried and neglected him. Ah Niang only taught him Gu magic. The two of them had the same personality and had nothing to talk about. When he got older, Thirteen Sister and I would tease him, and as the eldest brother, he developed a bit of human touch.”
"If his father had been neglecting him for years, he began to control him more and belittle him. Humans aren't plants or trees, how can they be without feelings? Even though he was used to being rejected, he became indispensable to the other person. I think it's because you called him your benefactor that he began to crave your warmth and look forward to your affection."
Xu sighed. After she turned twelve, she and Thirteen Niang would only return to Miao territory during festivals. Jiang Li's seclusion would inevitably cause her to neglect Jiang Yun.
When Wushan Yue met the young man, he was more afraid than jealous. He longed for Wushan Yue's feelings for him, but suspected that she only had gratitude towards him. He believed that he could not win Wushan Yue's love, and he wanted to make up for this deficiency by controlling and possessing her.
They fabricated ridiculous lies and tried to probe Wushan Yue's thoughts in various ways.
Being too obsessive and having too many misunderstandings will lead to a bitter relationship. As Jiang Yun's sister, she doesn't want him to be too stubborn and imprison someone. What kind of relationship is that if it's just imprisoned?
He was lucky enough to encounter the moon over Wushan.
I wonder how Mingyi and Cheng Zhijie are doing?
I always feel that she has a lot of worries now, but there's nothing she can do. She's physically exhausted, but her mind is always on edge.
Beneath the calm surface lurked hidden dangers and perilous situations, making it impossible for her to calm down. She knew that Little Hibiscus was just playing around with her, trying to help her relax and get some rest.
Whether she was lying down, sitting, or standing, every corner of Miao territory bore traces of the past.
Things have changed, but people are no longer the same.
The occasional sight of a similar figure in the village was enough to leave her stunned for a long time.
The one who's neither human nor ghost isn't Jiang Yun anymore; she's almost become her.
She closed her eyes to rest, but the images in her mind jumped around rapidly without stopping for a moment. Wu Shanyue noticed Jiang Yun leaning on the railing upstairs at some point, greeted Sui Zhixu, and moved step by step to Jiang Yun's side.
With a sweet voice, she asked, "Ah Yun, why are you awake?"
She didn't say anything bad about him, did she?
Jiang Yun didn't answer, but instead asked, "Are you sleepy again?"
It would have been better if I hadn't mentioned it, because talking about Wushan Yue really makes me feel a bit sleepy.
She tugged at Jiang Yun's sleeve, smiled, and as the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face. She carefully hugged his waist and nuzzled him, saying, "I'm sleepy."
With her fragrant, soft body in his arms, Jiang Yun picked her up and carried her back to the room, placing her on the bed and supporting himself above her.
“Ah Yun.”
Jiang Yun leaned down and pressed his lips to hers, burying his face in her neck. "How about I take you down the mountain in a while? Things haven't been very peaceful lately."
Wushan Yue's eyes widened. Actually, she didn't necessarily have to go down the mountain. She could sleep on the mountain, but winter was coming soon, and it should be colder on the mountain than down below.
She ate more down the mountain, and hugged him with a smile, saying, "Okay."
"My lord is so kind." Wushan Yue yawned. "I'm so sleepy, I want to go to sleep."
Jiang Yun kissed her forehead, watching her adjust to a comfortable position in his arms.
As he watched the person in his arms gradually fall asleep, his heart calmed down.
But he always felt like he had forgotten something.
As soon as Xu came to his senses, everyone had left.
The outer room stopped, and the air was filled with the fragrance of earth and grass. A cool breeze caressed her face, and in an instant, the chaotic thoughts in her mind calmed down.
She looked at her hands and clenched her fists after a long while.
Three thousand fans drifted in the wind, and under the cover of darkness, she quietly gazed at the small building that once stood there.
All the past events are still vivid in my mind.
Inside the room, Fan Lingzhang lay on the bed, his wrists pressed against his eye sockets, large tears streaming down his face and soaking the quilt.
He tried to keep his breathing steady so that Sui Zhixu wouldn't notice.
The next day, it was broad daylight.
As Xiao Lou entered an inconspicuous spider, Xi Yu Shao went to pay his respects to Sima Xian.
After Sima Xian occupied Miao territory, he unexpectedly lived in an inconspicuous bamboo house behind Jiang Li's small building, where he grew flowers and drank tea.
He was accompanied by seven treasures, including gold, silver, and agate, who silently stood guard behind him without uttering a word.
Upon seeing Xi Yushao arrive, Sima Xian put down his zither and greeted him, "Shujin is here, come and sit down. The three of them are all so taciturn, I'm so bored. Luckily you're here, come and have some tea with me."
"Yes, Your Majesty truly has a refined taste." Xi Yushao sat respectfully opposite Sima Xian, reporting on the activities of the Shan tribe. After much thought, he mentioned the restless Shanniya.
"Oh, really?" Sima Xian poured tea for Xi Yushao, who was flattered, and smiled upon hearing this.
He didn't seem to care much, and instead chatted with him about everyday things. "I originally wanted to introduce Jiang Yun's child to An Niang, but I didn't expect him to have found someone he liked and get married early."
Xi Yushao calmly lowered his head and drank his tea, secretly pondering his words. Sima An was indeed of marriageable age, but according to his thinking, there was no need to rush. Why did he suddenly bring this up today?
“The county princess will naturally find a better match.”
"Marriage?" Sima Xian smiled and shook his head. "Let's talk about it later. She's still quite young."
“I once came to Miao territory with Jiang Li. At that time, Jiang Li was not yet the Holy Maiden of Miao territory. I was arranged to stay here by Jiang Li. Many years have passed, the bamboo house is still the same bamboo house, but the people have changed a lot.”
"As the years go by, people always change."
"That's true. If you count, A-Ling was probably just born not long ago. Two years later, because of her health, she lived with Jiang Li in Miao territory until she was twelve years old. She got married, and now... things have changed."
Xi Yushao did not respond, and Sima Xian seemed not to care what he said.
"She's actually quite mischievous, but she looks well-behaved and doesn't like to talk much. She's good at both academics and martial arts, and while she might not be an expert in everything, she's still quite good. She's a very good child."
“Those taught by the king will naturally possess the king’s demeanor.”
Judging from his tone, Xi Yushao seemed to be nostalgic. It was simply a revisit to a familiar place, and he was expressing his feelings.
“Indeed, she should have done that, but she insisted on going against me.” After saying that, Sima Xian stopped talking and his face was gloomy.
The person who spoke included Sui Zhixu. Xi Yushao had guessed that Sui Zhixu was Lu Kou, so naturally he couldn't join in the conversation.
"Lady Lu was pampered from a young age and had her own ideas. It was understandable that she was unhappy with her marriage to Fan Langjun. In the two years after their marriage, there were many stories of harmonious marriage in Chang'an. It's just a pity that the beauty passed away early. When Wang revisited the old place, he missed Lady Lu. In the end, he couldn't bear to part with her."
Sima Xian's expression changed, perhaps thinking of Sui Zhixu's identity, he agreed to the request, and Xi Yushao smiled in response, their inner speculations remaining unknown to others.
"Keep an eye on Yamabe's side. The girl Yamabe trained might be simple-minded, but his subordinates are not."
"How's it going on the Yue tribe?"
"As always, the Yue tribe is timid and cowardly, so they will naturally obey orders."
Sima Xian nodded casually. From then on, the system would broadcast the Jingzhou incident every day, which was really annoying and a headache.
"Once Jiang Li comes out, we can set off back to Chang'an."
Xi Yushao nodded silently. It was Jiang Li who opened the door for Sima Xian to enter Miao territory. The three tribes of Miao territory were anti-foreign, and they were able to enter entirely thanks to Jiang Li's military suppression. However, Jiang Li soon went into seclusion to recuperate.
Could Sima Xian really not know that Sui Zhixu would come?
He might not know that Sui Zhixu was in the village, but he should know that she had returned.
Ah Ling, Xi Yushao muttered to himself, repeating it over and over again. What a good name.
Sima Xian heard the system's announcement in his mind, which was nothing more than that her luck had soared and surpassed his, and that he should deal with it as soon as possible.
It's a real shame that he was destined to embark on a path of no return.
