Chapter 216 Let’s get married!
Jian Yue was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
The scholar sighed and said, "Let's just leave it at that. Let's just make do with it. Anyway, the system can tell that the plot is normal. What else can I do?"
Jian Yue listened to the flute sound not far away. After listening silently for a while, he determined the correct direction. He pointed to the mountain road not far away: "To the north and west, there are two people in total."
The scholar walked over and said something to his brother, who immediately got up from the ground and said, "Leave it to us to deal with you!"
The words fell.
Jian Yue saw him running out like a gust of wind.
The scholar stood behind the scholar and watched his swift figure. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "That's right, I just want to ask, he is so fierce, has the King of Chu never doubted him?"
For example, think of playing cards or something.
The scholar was a bit of a germaphobe, and had been lowering his head to wipe the dust off his white brocade robe. Hearing what you said, he looked up with an expression that said, "You know what I'm talking about." He smiled and said, "My brother is so reckless. Don't you think he is a tiger by nature? Can you think of some special skills he has?"
Jian Yue: “…”
It is impossible to refute!!
The King of Chu, who was not far away, had already ordered his men to catch the man playing the flute. The other side soon realized their intention and originally wanted to retreat. In fact, according to their abilities, they could have retreated, but their mistake was that they underestimated the speed of Jian Yue's people. Although one of them escaped, the scholar blew the spoon.
Jian Yue saw a golden light sliding across his fingertips, and the birds in the sky flew towards a certain place in an orderly manner.
It turns out that it can communicate with all kinds of animals.
What powerful cards! Jian Yue thought that these two brothers were definitely not ordinary people.
The result is the next second.
Because of the war, sparks flew everywhere from time to time. There were also some flying insects in the desert. When those flying insects flew over, the scholar immediately jumped away and even said excitedly: "Get it far away, get it far away!"
Gao Fei was surprised and asked, "Are you afraid of bugs? These bugs are so small, what can they do?"
"Who is afraid of insects?" The scholar's face turned red with anger: "I'm not afraid of them!"
Jian Yue looked at him puzzledly.
The scholar's movements were a little strange. He was normal just now. After noticing Jian Yue's gaze, he finally explained in a low voice: "My cards have side effects after use. After communicating with an animal, I will have the habits of that animal for a short period of time. So when those insects were flying just now..."
Jian Yue guessed with a smile: "So you are not afraid, but you want to... eat?"
The scholar nodded reluctantly.
Gao Fei was overjoyed. He said, "It's high in protein. It's okay if you want to eat it, brother! Take another look..."
The scholar glared at him, and the mysophobia-obsessed man couldn't stand it anymore and jumped into the carriage to hide. The crowd was originally some distance away, but after the fight, they were closer. In fact, Jian Yue also understood that the scholar took the initiative to expose some weaknesses to them, which was also a gesture of goodwill, because he had concealed some things before, and now they wanted to cooperate, he took the initiative to reveal them, which was considered sincerity.
But he actually doesn't care about these things. As long as there is no bad intention to harm others, Jian Yue doesn't want to pursue it further.
"Bang!"
A sound came from the mountain not far away.
Everyone looked up and saw a sea of blood on the mountain not far away. The two armies were fighting each other. Dead soldiers kept crawling up under the influence of the flute sounds, until they were crushed into mud, until they were stabbed by a sharp sword in the crowd. Huangfu Chengyu's figure shuttled among them, going upstream in the dark sea of people.
His body had long been stained red with blood, like a demon holding a sword.
Jian Yue's eyes gradually darkened, and he said, "I'm going to go over there."
Gao Fei, who was left behind to protect him, said in surprise: "It's very dangerous over there now. With your small body, won't you be torn to pieces if you go over there?"
"I have to go." Jian Yue stood in the desert wind. He glanced at Gao Fei. There was no impulse or anxiety in his eyes. He just said, "His body can't hold on. He has to stop."
Gao Fei was silent for a moment, and then he said, "We will escort you there."
In such a battlefield, there is no point in wasting even a moment of time.
When Jian Yue rushed into the battlefield, he could smell the hot breath of fire, and the endless crisp sound of swords colliding was the sound of hatred, and also the cry he had to make in order to survive. Blood splattered on his face, and painful wails and broken limbs were all under his feet. The mountains of corpses and the sea of blood almost dyed the sand and soil here crimson.
He met the eyes of the soldier who had stopped breathing and was struggling in pain to get up on the ground. He wanted to live and did not want to die. The strong desire to survive in those young eyes pierced him like a cage.
Don't want to die.
They are talking.
Unwilling to accept...
This place seems to have turned into a purgatory on earth, with resentful and unwilling undead souls shuttling back and forth here. If the living are trapped here for a long time, they will go crazy.
Jian Yue finally saw the figure he was looking for not far away. He ran over quickly and shouted, "Your Majesty!"
Huangfu Chengyu did not look back.
Jian Yue was getting anxious, and he wanted to go over. Some soldiers on the ground came over to pull Jian Yue. Even though Jian Yue was nimble and swift in cutting off the enemies, he couldn't avoid them completely, and more and more people were surrounding him.
“Boom!”
The sky changed drastically, and countless lightning bolts slid and struck down, causing many people around to temporarily lose their ability to move.
It's Leo.
Jian Yue didn't even need to look back to hear Little Leo shouting not far away: "Go!"
The blood was boiling all around him, but Jian Yue suddenly felt a surge of courage. He wanted to take Huangfu Chengyu back. Now that he was here, he must take him back!
Crossing the sea of blood and corpses, crossing the crowds, Jian Yue rushed to his target. Huangfu Chengyu was covered in blood, but he was still bloodthirsty, and even the hand holding the knife was shaking. Jian Yue shouted loudly: "Your Majesty!"
He wanted to get closer to Huangfu Chengyu.
But the man who was blood-thirsty had already subconsciously taken defensive actions. Before Jian Yue could even get close to him, the sharp sword light had already appeared in front of him, pointing directly at his neck.
Huangfu Chengyu's eyes were filled with cold murderous intent, and his eyes seemed to have turned into vertical pupils. That was the aggressiveness that a powerful beast would have towards an enemy who dared to invade its territory.
Jian Yue stood in front of him. On the battlefield, the man in front of him was in such an unconscious state that if he took another step forward his life might be in danger. He stood in front of Huangfu Chengyu, looking dishevelled. Jian Yue's eyes were a little red. He did not dodge or evade, as if he was not afraid of being hurt at all. The wind blew over, blowing his black hair and blowing across his messy body.
"Xiaoyu..." His voice was a little choked: "Let's go back."
The sword tip trembled.
The sounds of soldiers and noises around continued. The man in front of him, covered in blood, said nothing. The sword was raised and swung down sharply and decisively. Only the clear sound of flesh being pierced and miserable cries could be heard.
The man standing behind Jian Yue who wanted to attack him was stabbed by a sword and fell down.
Huangfu Chengyu's sword was dripping with blood. He slowly put down the sword in his hand and walked to Jian Yue. He wanted to hold up Jian Yue's hair that was blown by the wind, but found that his palms were all stained with blood, which would only stain the face of the person in front of him. His eyes clearly reflected Jian Yue's face, and he smiled with his lips curled up, his voice low but gentle: "Didn't I tell you to stay in the carriage and not come over?"
Jian Yue said: "I'm worried about you."
Huangfu Chengyu said: "I will be fine, you know, they can't hurt me."
Jian Yue shook his head. He looked at Huangfu Chengyu, his eyes full of worry. He said softly, "I know they can't hurt you, but you will hurt yourself, Xiaoyu."
He saw Huangfu Chengyu covered in blood, which was all his own blood.
Only by wrapping the sword with his blood can the vengeful spirits of the Teng Snake clan trapped in human bodies be saved.
"I know you want to save them." Jian Yue slowly approached him. Huangfu Chengyu was worried that his hands would dirty Jian Yue's face, so he didn't touch him. However, the man in front of him hugged him directly. Jian Yue's clothes were also stained with blood, but he didn't have any grudges. He cried, "But I just want to save you."
The king of the Teng Snake tribe has the responsibility to save his people.
But who will save him?
Who will save his Xiaoyu?
Jian Yue couldn't help but let his tears drip onto Huangfu Chengyu's armor. He cried and said, "I found out that I am just a selfish person. I can't take care of the overall situation of everyone. I saw you drowned here, and I was just afraid that you would not come back. I know you want to save them, and you don't want them to suffer. I know, I know everything, but I can't help it. I can't watch you die..."
He actually didn't know what he was saying anymore.
He felt that his internal organs were surrounded by the bloody smell of Huangfu Chengyu. He felt distressed, anxious and angry. He wanted to speak nicely, but as soon as he opened his mouth, tears of heartache fell before the words.
Just saying.
He was hugged tightly by someone. Huangfu Chengyu hugged the person in front of him tightly. His big hand held the back of Jian Yue's head and protected him in his arms. The man's voice was low and trembling. He said, "I'm sorry..."
"You are not selfish." Huangfu Chengyu's words fell into Jian Yue's ears, like a sigh. He hugged the person in his arms tightly, as if he was holding his last treasure. Tenderness appeared in his beast-like eyes. He whispered: "I am the selfish person."
Even though he knew his own ending, he still kept the person by his side because he loved her too much. It was only because he had never cared about anyone so much in his life that he was greedy for this warmth, which made Jian Yue so painful.
"It will be over soon." Huangfu Chengyu held the person in his arms, as if to comfort him. Surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he held the person in his arms and said, "It will be over soon."
Jian Yue in his arms suddenly relaxed and fell asleep because he finally found someone.
When Gao Fei and others arrived.
Huangfu Chengyu also fell asleep while holding the person because of exhaustion. The two of them were half-kneeling on the ground and hugging each other, which was particularly eye-catching in the sea of corpses and blood.
The King of Chu sighed and said, "It's good that the person is alright."
Gao Fei said: "This war is too brutal. Fortunately, Your Majesty is here, otherwise I don't know what will happen to me if I am caught off guard by An Guo. It is a blessing that these two are alive, otherwise I don't know how chaotic it will be. I will carry them."
It's getting late now.
When Jian Yue woke up from his coma, it was pitch black outside. Only the lights in the corridor were still on and he could faintly hear people talking. He sat up from the bed. He felt much more energetic after a good sleep.
Sitting up from the bed, Jian Yue found that this was a room with an antique style. The bed curtain was gray and a little worn, but still clean. He was covered with a thick quilt and heard a small voice outside:
“It’s snowing!”
"It's winter, but it's not snowing."
"It's really cold!"
Jian Yue put on his shoes and walked outside, opening the door. The cool wind from outside blew in through the door, bringing scattered snowflakes with the evening breeze. He looked up and saw white elves flying all over the sky. It seemed that the world had become quiet.
The soldiers on duty at the door saw him and said quickly, "You're awake."
It's a somewhat unfamiliar face.
Jian Yue said: "What am I doing here?"
"This is our camp at the Daqian border." The soldier said, "Please wait, we will go and inform them."
Before Jian Yue could stop the soldier, he ran away. In fact, it was not far away, just the yard next door. After a while, Gao Fei came over. He was also wearing armor. He walked over against the wind and snow. His face was red from the cold. He exhaled hot air into his palm and said, "How are you?"
"Very good." Jian Yue said: "How about His Majesty?"
Gao Fei said: "His Majesty came back with you, but he is also unconscious and hasn't woken up yet."
Jian Yue remembered that Huangfu Chengyu had lost a lot of blood, so he said, "Where is His Majesty? I'll go check it out."
"The great Zen master is here." Gao Fei said, "His Majesty is in the West Garden. I'll take you there."
Jian Yue nodded. It was snowing outside. When he hurried to the West Garden, the snow had just started to fall heavily. The wind and snow fell on the ends of his hair. When he pushed open the door and went in, the great Zen master was giving acupuncture to Huangfu Chengyu. Although he was a little surprised to see Jian Yue coming in, he didn't say anything. He just smiled and said, "Donor, it's freezing cold. You should wear more clothes."
Because she was in a hurry, Jian Yue was wearing very thin clothes.
Jian Yue understood the meaning of these words and smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, Master, I, I will go back then."
In fact, the room was not cold because charcoal was burning.
Gao Fei also patted his head and said, "Look at my memory. I'll go get it. Don't bother. Don't go back and forth and catch a cold again."
Jian Yue did not stop him. After Gao Fei left, Jian Yue and the great Zen master were the only ones left in the room. The great Zen master stood up after giving the last injection. Jian Yue did not know what to say, so he could only say, "This time... it's really troublesome for you to come all the way from the capital."
"I came here on my own initiative." The great Zen master said, "His curse has been lifted. I can feel that the star of the Teng Snake royal family is bright again. His life is in danger. I owe the Xue family a favor, so I have to come."
Jian Yue looked at the great Zen master and said, "Can you save him?"
The great Zen master looked at Jian Yue. In Jian Yue's hopeful eyes, he could only slowly shake his head and say, "I'm sorry, I can't."
Jian Yue tightened the hands on his legs.
The great Zen master said: "Do you know that the Teng Snake royal family has another nickname, which is the immortal and indestructible beast of ancient times."
Jian Yue looked up and said in surprise: "Immortal, but the snake mothers..."
The great Zen master nodded. He knew what Jian Yue meant, and said, "They are all willing to die. The mother snake wants to sacrifice her life to protect her child, and the king snake wants to follow his wife. The Teng Snake clan is loyal. They will only have one partner in their life and will be loyal to him forever."
"Since you are immortal," Jian Yue said, "then why do you say that you can't save His Majesty?"
This shouldn't be a dead end.
The great Zen master said, "Don't you understand?"
Jian Yue was silent.
Huangfu Chengyu was also willing to die.
Because it has the mission of saving its people, and because it also carries the blood feud of the Xue family.
The great Zen master said: "This is all his own choice."
Jian Yue sneered, and curled his lips sarcastically: "He never had a choice."
No one asked him if he was willing to be emperor, no one asked him if he was willing to be the king of the Teng Snake clan. Everyone was working for him, but no one asked about his wishes.
The great Zen master was silent for a moment. He slowly looked at the heavy snow outside the door and finally said, "Perhaps, there is still a glimmer of hope."
Jian Yue looked at him: "What?"
The great Zen master said, "I didn't lie to you. He has been filled with hatred for all these years. The Xue family was executed, all his relatives passed away, and he was tired of the open and secret struggles in the palace since he was a child. He longed for warmth in his heart but was always lonely, so he had no intention of giving birth. But maybe you can change."
Jian Yue said in disbelief: "You mean, the turning point... is me?"
The great Zen master nodded and said, "That's all I have to say. It's up to you to understand the right and wrong."
He tried his best to wink at Jian Yue, hoping that he would understand what he meant!
Hurry up and give His Majesty some trust, let him rely on you, maybe he will want to live. I have made it so clear, you should understand, right? !
Jian Yue: “…”
He understood!
His Majesty hates the Xue family, so he needs to help His Majesty clear the Xue family’s grievances and give his family warmth!
"Thank you, Master." Jian Yue said, "I understand!"
Great Zen Master: “…”
I always have a bad feeling. Am I going to reveal too much about the questions?
No matter what, Jian Yue was indeed more energetic. He knew that the great Zen master was actually giving him hints. After all, isn't it usually said that the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed? The great Zen master was actually under a lot of pressure to say this.
"Is your Majesty's condition stable?" Jian Yue said, "Do you want to go and rest? You don't look well."
The great Zen master couldn't say that he was worried about Jian Yue's fluctuating IQ, so he could only say, "This, this is probably due to the long journey, he must be a little tired, I'll go and rest now."
Jian Yue stood up, Gao Fei just came back from outside, Jian Yue asked: "Were you injured outside with Xiao Lizi today?"
"It's just a superficial wound." Gao Fei said, "We are all fine, but the two men who played the flute have been caught by the scholar and are now being interrogated."
Jian Yue thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, he is the King of Chu's man. After the interrogation, you should take Brother Li back tomorrow, otherwise I will be worried."
After working in the palace for so long, Jian Yue has developed a habit of it. He cannot not believe it, but he cannot believe it completely either. After all, a single thought may determine the lives of many people.
Gao Fei nodded and said, "Okay, I know about this."
Jian Yue felt relieved. Gao Fei saw that his face was not too good, so he said, "I received the letter. Concubine Liu will arrive in two days. Our people have been secretly escorting her. It's nothing serious. We won this battle. An Guo was seriously injured and has retreated a hundred miles. These two days are the time when the border is about to celebrate the New Year. The border should be able to celebrate a peaceful New Year in these few days. There is a celebration banquet outside. It is very lively. If you and His Majesty wake up, go out and have fun."
In fact, Gao Fei has always been a relatively stable person. Although he sometimes seems a little unreasonable, he always adjusts the relationship between everyone like an older brother.
Jian Yue smiled and said, "I see. Go ahead, we'll go over when His Majesty wakes up."
Gao Fei nodded and left.
Jian Yue turned back inside, only to find that Huangfu Chengyu had woken up. He didn't know when the man sat up and how much he had heard, which surprised Jian Yue: "Your Majesty?"
Huangfu Chengyu still looked a little pale, but he was no longer as violent as he was during the day. His handsome eyes and brows were particularly clear and bright under the light of the candles in the room, and he looked a little more gentle.
Jian Yue walked over and said, "Your Majesty is awake?"
Huangfu Chengyu said "hmm".
Jian Yue approached and saw Huangfu Chengyu was about to stand up, so he said, "The great Zen master just left. Do you want me to send someone to call him over?"
"No need, I'm fine now." Huangfu Chengyu said.
Jian Yue picked up the clothes beside him and put them on him skillfully: "Okay, Gao Fei just came over and said that there is a celebration banquet outside. Your Majesty, do you want to go and see it?"
Huangfu Chengyu looked down at him and said, "I still like to hear you call me Xiaoyu."
Jian Yue paused and looked up at him in surprise. In fact, this name came out of his mouth. He didn't know why he called him that, but when he called it out, he felt familiar, close and natural.
"Isn't that a bit against the rules?" Jian Yue said, "Then I'll shout in private next time."
Huangfu Chengyu said: "The rules I mentioned are the rules. You can do whatever you want in the future. You don't have to care about those in front of me."
Jian Yue smiled and helped Huangfu Chengyu put on his clothes. Before going out, Huangfu Chengyu also put his coat on him. The two walked outside, and the guards saluted and followed behind. When they walked to the front yard, it was very lively outside. At the celebration banquet, the soldiers were singing and dancing enthusiastically, and the people in the border city also came to the camp to visit their relatives as the New Year was approaching.
There were even soldiers who cried inconsolably while hugging their newly married wives and children.
Naturally, there were also some girls who were waiting for their fiancés to return and hugged and cried with joy their lovers who had survived the disaster.
The whole camp was filled with a celebratory atmosphere.
Jian Yue said: "It's great, so lively, I didn't expect so many lovers to be reunited."
Huangfu Chengyu looked at everything in front of him and said, "The people of Daqian attach great importance to the New Year tradition. Almost every household will set the New Year as a good day for marriage. The New Year is approaching, and the unmarried husband can come back, so they are naturally happy."
Jian Yue was stunned.
He turned his head and looked at Huangfu Chengyu.
Huangfu Chengyu also looked at him.
Jian Yue suddenly thought of the profound words that the great Zen master had said to him today. He said that Huangfu Chengyu had no desire to have another life because he was very lonely and because he had no attachments.
At that time he thought the great Zen master was hinting at him to deal with the Xue family's affairs. Now thinking about it, there might be other meanings!
The body reacts faster than the brain.
Before speaking, Jian Yue had already grabbed Huangfu Chengyu's hand and said, "Xiaoyu, you just said that I can do anything I want, right?"
Huangfu Chengyu nodded and said, "Well, what's the matter?"
"Then let's get married." Jian Yue took his hand and said, "Let's get married, you and I, we get married in the church, how about that?"
