Even Helian Jue, who had long since mastered the skill of remaining unmoved even when Mount Tai collapsed before him, was startled by what was stabbed into his sword.
Heavens, a fish is flying down from the sky?
How is that possible?
Even Xie Yuan, who lived in later generations, was somewhat surprised when he saw this scene.
But soon, she thought of one possibility—a typhoon.
Yes, they spent a month and a half in a small town on the outskirts of Beijing, and then another two months on the road.
Time has moved from the warm spring of March to the scorching heat of July.
Summer in the ocean is also typhoon season.
Before Xie Yuan time-traveled, he had seen videos about typhoons while browsing his phone in his spare time.
The frail little girl was swayed from side to side by the strong wind, while seafood, clothes and other debris flew through the air.
The most amazing thing is that "a hundred-yuan bill is blown onto the window while you are sitting at home".
Compared to these, "flying fish" and the like are not so rare anymore.
At that time, there was no weather forecast, so people had no way of knowing the source of the typhoon, its specific landfall time, or its detailed path.
Even Xie Yuan himself, upon arriving at the beach and noticing the strong winds, simply attributed it to the open sea and unusually strong winds. He didn't even consider the possibility of a typhoon.
Until I saw this "flying fish".
"Wow! Your Highness, you're amazing! You actually managed to catch a flying fish!"
Little Fatty Xie Zhen clung to the oxcart window, looking at Helian Jue with amazement and admiration.
Xie Yuan really wanted to cover his little dumpling's mouth: ...
You really know how to rub salt in the wound! You brat, didn't you see the embarrassment on Helian Jue's face after his initial shock?!
Xie Yuan was worried that Helian Jue, who was prone to holding grudges, would become angry and then take it out on her own chubby son, so she quickly changed the subject:
"Your Highness, the wind is getting stronger, and it might rain. You should come into the oxcart!"
Helian Jue was first surprised, then seemed to realize something, and then he was somewhat annoyed at his overreaction.
Unfortunately, that chubby little dumpling didn't know how to read people's expressions and even praised him for being amazing.
Tsk, if he hadn't already known that this little guy was a silly and adorable fool, he would have mistaken him for someone deliberately being sarcastic.
However, despite his bad temper, he wouldn't hold a grudge against an immature little kid.
Hearing Xie Yuan's words, he readily agreed, "Okay!"
A moment later, Helian Jue was already sitting in the oxcart, and it began to drizzle outside.
"Your Highness, please tell General Mu that we should find a place to hide."
Seeing that the rain outside was getting heavier, Xie Yuan couldn't help but worry and quickly offered his advice.
These people weren't afraid; they all sat in the oxcart.
These oxcarts were all modified by her; the roofs were covered with painted iron plates and tarpaulins.
Unless it's a torrential downpour or the water is constantly soaking the surface, it generally won't leak.
However, the Imperial Guards and their personal guards, whether on horseback or on foot, were still soaked through despite having raincoats or tarpaulins.
In ancient times, without antibiotics, getting caught in the rain and developing a fever could be fatal.
"Yes! Approved!"
Helian Jue naturally thought of the things Xie Yuan was worried about.
He turned to Duofu, who was serving by the carriage door, and said, "Didn't you hear what the princess said? Go and relay the message!"
Duofu agreed, quickly opened the car door, and nimbly jumped out.
Not long after, he returned, soaking wet.
Duofu's expression was not good. He replied in a low voice, "Your Highness, Your Majesty, General Mu said that we are only a dozen miles away from Guangcheng. We shouldn't waste time taking shelter from the rain. We should hurry on our way!"
Helian Jue's face immediately darkened, and he coldly cursed, "Arrogant! Insolent! Ignorant!"
Xie Yuan also felt that Mu Shao was somewhat cold-hearted.
He was eager to complete his task, and Xie Yuan understood this.
But he couldn't force hundreds of people to endure the wind and rain.
Moreover, Xie Yuan was very clear about her identity; she was the Princess Consort of Yue, the wife of the King of Yue.
She wanted to maintain a consistent stance with the King of Yue.
Now that Helian Jue was angry, she was going to be even angrier—
"Hmph, Your Highness is right, this person is indeed ungrateful and acts recklessly!"
"He is the General of the Thousand Bull Guards, and he can decide the life and death of his soldiers, but he has no say in the affairs of our Yue King's Mansion."
"Our royal guards can't be running around in the wind and rain like idiots."
Helian Jue immediately found Xie Yuan's words very agreeable.
He looked at Xie Yuan, his captivating peach blossom eyes shimmering, "What does the Princess mean?"
"He goes on his way, we rest!"
Xie Yuan said willfully.
"Alright! We'll do as the Princess Consort says!"
Helian Jue had a feeling that the longer he spent with his wife, Xie Shi A Yuan, the more he would discover her complexity and contradictions.
She comes from a prominent family, and indeed exudes confidence and arrogance from the inside out.
But she lacked the conformity, rigidity, and dullness of the noble ladies in the capital.
She is lively and vibrant; she is intelligent and playful.
Sometimes, she even has a touch of street-smart rascality.
However, even if they cheat, they won't give others a reason to criticize them; instead, they'll appear cunning and undeniable.
This version of Xie Shi A Yuan was becoming more and more to her liking.
Helian Jue, who had never shown any interest in women, suddenly developed feelings for his wife.
He was eager to see what surprises Xie Yuan would bring him in the future!
Seeing that Helian Jue still "favored" the princess, Duofu didn't dare to hesitate and quickly ran off the oxcart.
